NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED)

1.        ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

           Heska Corporation (“Heska” or the “Company”) discovers, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, distributes and supports veterinary products. Heska’s core focus is on the canine and feline companion animal health markets. The Company has devoted substantial resources to the research and development of innovative products in these areas, where it strives to develop high value products for unmet needs in veterinary medicine.

           Heska is comprised of two reportable segments, Core Companion Animal Health and Other Vaccines, Pharmaceuticals and Products. The Core Companion Animal Health segment includes diagnostic and monitoring instruments and supplies as well as single use diagnostic and other tests, vaccines and pharmaceuticals, primarily for canine and feline use. These products are sold directly by the Company as well as through independent third party distributors and other distribution relationships. The Other Vaccines, Pharmaceuticals and Products segment (“OVP”), previously reported as the Diamond Animal Health segment, includes private label vaccine and pharmaceutical production, primarily for cattle but also for other animals including small mammals, horses and fish. All OVP products are currently sold by third parties under third party labels.

           The Company has incurred annual net losses since its inception and anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses in the near term as it introduces new products, expands its sales and marketing capabilities and continues its research and development activities. Cumulative net losses from inception of the Company in 1988 through June 30, 2004, have totaled $208.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $3.4 million and used cash of approximately $138,000 for its operations.

           The Company’s primary short-term needs for capital are based on its continuing research and development efforts, its sales, marketing and administrative activities, working capital associated with increased product sales and capital expenditures relating to maintaining and developing its manufacturing operations. The Company’s ability to achieve sustained profitable operations will depend primarily upon its ability to successfully market its products, commercialize products that are currently under development and develop new products. Many of the Company’s products are subject to long development and regulatory approval cycles and there can be no guarantee that the Company will successfully develop, manufacture or market these products. There also can be no guarantee that the Company will attain quarterly, annual, or sustained profitability in the future.

2.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

           The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 are unaudited but include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Although the Company believes that the


disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

           Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2004.
