Commonwealth Biotechnologies

Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. as of June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. at June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc., (the “Company”), was formed on September 30, 1992, for the purpose of providing specialized analytical laboratory services for the life scientist. As the Company matured, it re-focused its core business activities and now provides integrated contract research support in four principal areas; bio-defense; laboratory support services for on-going clinical trials; comprehensive contract projects in the private sector; and through it FIL division, for paternity testing, forensic case-work analysis and CODIS work. Mimotopes (acquired in February 2007) has developed a number of proprietary and patented technologies and is an industry leader in the synthesis of research grade peptides.

Excelgen Limited (formerly know as Tripos Discovery Research Ltd (acquired June 2007)) is a leading drug discovery services business that provides pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with novel approaches to drug discovery. In each of these areas, the Company provides sophisticated macromolecular synthetic and analytical services, integrating individual platform technologies so as to provide a comprehensive approach to solving complex problems in life science research.

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries’ Mimotopes Pty, Ltd, Australia and Excelgen Limited (formerly known as Tripos Discovery Research Ltd), England. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to the June 30, 2007 presentation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon the completion of laboratory service projects, or upon the delivery and acceptance of biologically relevant materials that have been synthesized in accordance with project terms. Laboratory service projects are generally administered under fee-for-service contracts or purchase orders. Any revenues from research and development arrangements, including corporate contracts and research grants, are recognized pursuant to the terms of the related agreements as work is performed, or as scientific milestones, if any, are achieved. Amounts received in advance of the performance of services or acceptance of a milestone, are recorded as deferred revenue.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated using rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and related revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of


exchange in effect during the period. Cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component within other comprehensive income (loss) of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency translactions are included in other income.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of those assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No impairment losses have been recorded through June 30, 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, the Company maintains cash balances in excess of FDIC insured amounts. The excess over the FDIC amount was approximately $4,075,000, $1,800,000 and $2,711,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivable and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives providing depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 

     Years

Buildings

   39.5

Laboratory and computer equipment

   3 -10

Furniture and fixtures and office equipment

   7

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of a covenant not to compete, commercial contracts, listing of draw sites, listing of providers to assist in paternity testing and other related intangibles acquired in the purchase of Fairfax Identity Labs which are being amortized over 2 to 3 years.


Loan Costs

Loan costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the mortgage.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, is evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing its fair value with its recorded amount and is written down when appropriate. Projected net operating cash flows are compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill recorded and if the estimated net operating cash flows are less than the carrying amount, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. Goodwill as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and 2005 is a result of the acquisition by the Company of Mimotopes during 2007 and Fairfax Identity Labs during 2004. There was no impairment of goodwill at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Common shares which can be issued upon exercise of stock options and warrants have not been included in the computation for the periods ended June 30, 2007, June 30, 2006, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss per common share were 4,867,056, 3,310,073, 3,281,360 and 3,229,243 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited) and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Employee Stock Plans

The Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan on June 24, 1997. The Plan provides for granting to employees, officers, directors, consultants and certain other non-employees of the Company options to purchase shares of common stock. A maximum of 410,000 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Of the maximum number of shares to be issued under the Plan, 270,000 have been reserved for incentive awards to be granted to the founders of the Company, and 140,000 are reserved for incentive awards to be granted to others.

A 2000 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders. The Plan makes up to 300,000 shares of common stock available for grants of restricted stock awards and stock options in the form of incentive stock options and non-qualified options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company.


A 2002 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders. The Plan makes up to 600,000 shares of common stock available for grants of restricted stock awards and stock options in the form of incentive stock options and non-qualified options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company.

A 2007 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders. The Plan makes up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock available for grants of restricted stock awards and stock options in the form of incentive stock options and non-qualified options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company.

Incentive awards may be in the form of stock options, restricted stock, incentive stock or tax offset rights. In the case of incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the exercise price will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of shares covered at the time of the grant, or 110% for incentive stock options granted to persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock. Options granted under the Plans generally vest over a five-year period from the date of grant and are exercisable for ten years, except that the term may not exceed five years for incentive stock options granted to persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Stock Based Compensation Plans

Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, which recognizes share-based compensation expense for stock option grants. Prior to 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations to account for employee stock compensation plans, and accordingly did not recognize compensation expense for stock options granted when the option price is greater than or equal to the underlying stock price at the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect of net income if the fair value based method per 123R had been applied to all outstanding grants for the year ended December 2005.

 

     2005  

Net income as reported

   $ 79,123

   $ (0.16 )
        

Under FASB No. 123(R), the fair value of each stock option and warrant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for grants in 2005: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 42%, risk-free interest rate of 4.39% and expected lives of 10 years. In 2005, the Company vested all outstanding options of employees, excluding certain members of senior management.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has determined, based on available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, that the fair value of its financial instruments approximates carrying value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value because the interest rates under the credit agreement are predominantly variable, based on current market conditions.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage variable interest rate exposure on the majority of its long-term debt. The Company’s objective for holding these derivatives is to decrease the volatility of future cash flows associated with interest payments on its variable rate debt. The Company does not issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in “accumulated other comprehensive income or loss” on the consolidated balance sheets and subsequently reclassified to interest expense when the hedged exposure affects income (i.e. as interest expense accrues on the related outstanding debt). Differences between the amounts paid and amounts received under the swap agreements are recognized in interest expense.

Changes in the ineffective portion of the fair value of the derivative are accounted for through interest expense. The notional principal value of the Company’s swap agreement outstanding as of June 30, 2007 is equal to the outstanding principal balance of the corresponding debt instrument.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, The FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” This statement amends Statements No. 133 and 140 by: permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifying which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133; establishing a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifying that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amending Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” which provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and


penalties, and disclosure. FIN 48 prescribes that a tax position should only be recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. A tax position that meets this threshold is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent) realized upon ultimate settlement. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 is to be reported as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. While the Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, the Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Lastly, SFAS No. 157 requires additional disclosures for each interim and annual period separately for each major category of assets and liabilities. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

7. Stock Compensation

For the Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (Unaudited)

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2007 included compensation expense for stock-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2006, based on the fair value on the grant date. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in fiscal 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for forfeitures.

7. Stock Compensation (continued)

 

Stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $49,990 and $31,398 respectfully and is included in selling general and administrative. As of June 30, 2007, total unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $85,279, net of expected forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2007.

The total intrinsic value of options (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $45,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company received cash from the exercise of stock options in the amount of $16,000.

The Company follows the guidance provided in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock.
