CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

        The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures related thereto normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared following the same policies and procedures used in the preparation of the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (the "Company"). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2004.

        Certain amounts in prior-year financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

2. Business Acquisitions

        On October 20, 2004, the Company's shareholders approved the merger agreement with Inveresk Research Group (Inveresk). The acquisition strengthened the Company's position as a leading global company providing essential preclinical and clinical drug development services and products. The strategic combination significantly expanded the Company's service portfolio and strengthens the Company's global footprint in the growing market for pharmaceutical research and development products and services. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Inveresk shareholders received 0.48 shares of the Company's common stock and $15.15 in cash for each share of Inveresk common stock they owned. The purchase price of $1,458,057 consisted of $841,042 representing the fair value of the Company's common stock of 18,451,996 shares issued, $582,391 of cash consideration, the fair value of the Company's stock options exchanged for Inveresk stock options and transaction costs incurred by the Company. The Company utilized approximately $161,229 of available cash and $500,000 of borrowings under the credit facility for the cash consideration paid to Inveresk shareholders and to pay off Inveresk's existing credit facility of $78,838.

        The purchase price associated with the Inveresk acquisition is as follows:

Stock consideration   $ 841,042  
Cash consideration     582,391  
Fair value of stock options exchange     30,350  
Transaction costs     4,274  
   
 
Purchase price     1,458,057  
Cash acquired     (41,726 )
   
 
Purchase price, net of cash acquired   $ 1,416,331  
   
 

        The Company's purchase price has not been finalized as the Company is awaiting the completion by an outside appraiser of the valuations of the equipment. The outside appraisal of the intangible

assets acquired has been finalized. The Company does not anticipate any significant differences between current book values and the fair values upon the completion of the asset valuation.

        The preliminary purchase price allocation associated with the Inveresk acquisition is as follows:

 
   
   
Current assets   $ 98,616    
Property, plant and equipment     128,052    
Current liabilities     (201,771 )

        The following selected unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are presented as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period immediately preceding the year of acquisition, after giving effect to certain adjustments for amortization of intangibles and related income tax effects. The pro forma data is for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the results of operations had the companies operated as one during the periods reported. No effect has been given in the pro-forma data for synergies, if any, that may have been realized through the acquisition.
