INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and
certain information and footnote disclosure related thereto normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, 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 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, 1999.
On June 5, 2000, a 1.927 for 1 exchange of stock was approved by the Board
of Directors of the Company. This exchange of stock was effective June 21, 2000.
All earnings per common share amounts, references to common stock and
shareholders' equity amounts have been restated as if the exchange of stock had
occurred as of the earliest period presented.
2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On June 28, 2000, the Company closed its initial public offering ("the
Offering") of 16,100,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $16 per share.
The number of shares includes the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment
option of 2,100,000 shares. The Company received proceeds of $235,964, net of
underwriter's commissions and offering costs. Proceeds from the Offering were
used to pay down a portion of the Company's existing debt as described below.
The Company's common stock currently trades on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company used the proceeds from the Offering plus cash on hand of $300 to
repay $204,732 of its existing debt, including issuance discounts. Premiums
totaling $31,532 were paid as a result of the early repayment of the senior
discount debentures and a portion of the senior subordinated notes.

4. INCOME TAXES
EFFECT OF THE OFFERING
An effective tax rate of approximately 51.7%, which includes the impact of
the offering, has been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 23,
2000.
As discussed in Note 2, an extraordinary loss before tax of $44,771 was
recorded on the consummation of the offering. A tax benefit, net of valuation
allowance, of $15,670 was recorded with respect to this loss. A valuation
allowance of $3,134 was recorded with respect to the state tax benefit on the
extraordinary loss, as realization of such benefit is not probable, due to
certain states having carry forward periods of five years or less.
During the second quarter, the Company reassessed the need for a valuation
allowance associated with the deferred tax asset balance recorded on the
recapitalization transaction and which is further discussed below. As a result
of the Offering, the Company expects to be significantly more profitable in the
future, due to reduced interest costs. In the second quarter, the valuation
allowance associated with the deferred tax asset described below was reduced by
$4,762, to $750. The reduction of the valuation allowance was recorded as a tax
benefit in the second quarter of 2000. The net deferred tax asset balance of
$114,509 as of September 23, 2000 has been recorded at its estimated realizable
value as determined by management after considering all available evidence,
including historical operating results, projections of taxable income and tax
planning strategies.
FINALIZATION OF TAX PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
In connection with the leveraged recapitalization transaction which occurred
effective September 29, 1999, CRL Acquisition LLC and Bausch & Lomb made a joint
election under Internal Revenue Code 338(h)(10) to treat the transaction as an
asset purchase resulting in a step-up in the tax
9

CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
4. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
basis of the underlying net assets. The election resulted in the recording of a
deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, of $99,506 and a corresponding
increase to capital in excess of par value. The Company was, however, still in
the process of finalizing the tax purchase price allocation at December 25,
1999.
During the second quarter of 2000, the tax purchase price allocation related
to the election described above was finalized. In the second quarter, an
adjustment of $4,537 was recorded to reduce the net deferred tax asset balance
and capital in excess of par value in accordance with the final tax purchase
price allocation.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
INSURANCE
The Company maintains insurance for workers' compensation, auto liability,
employee medical and general liability. The per claim loss limits are $250, with
annual aggregate loss limits of $1,500. Related accruals were $2,813 and $3,022
on December 25, 1999 and September 23, 2000, respectively. Separately, the
Company has provided a letter of credit in favor of the insurance carriers in
the amount of $350.
LITIGATION
Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a nature considered normal to
its business are pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the
outcome of such proceedings and litigation currently pending will not materially
affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is currently under a court order issued in June 1997 to remove
its large animal operations from two islands located in the Florida Keys and
refoliate the islands. The Company has removed its large animal operations from
the island in the first quarter of 2000. The Company continues to hold
discussions with the state of Florida and federal authorities regarding the
extent of refoliation required on the islands and believes the reserves recorded
in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are sufficient
to provide for the estimated exposure in connection with the refoliation. The
Company has provided a letter of credit in regards to the completion of the
refoliation on the island for $350.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
As described in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements
as of, and for the fiscal year ended, December 25, 1999, pursuant to a
recapitalization agreement effective September 29, 1999, all of the assets,
liabilities, operations and cash flows relating to Charles River
Laboratories, Inc., were contributed to an existing dormant subsidiary which was
subsequently renamed Charles River Laboratories, Inc. Under the terms of the
recapitalization, Charles River Laboratories, Inc., became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Charles River Laboratories, International, Inc. The capital
structure in place for periods prior to September 29, 1999 was significantly
different than the capital structure of the Company after the recapitalization.
The consolidated income statement for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 25, 1999 also include operations of certain Bausch and Lomb
10

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)
(the Company's 100% shareholder prior to the recapitalization) entities which
were not historically supported by the combined capital structure of Charles
River Laboratories International, Inc. and Charles River Laboratories, Inc. As a
result, the presentation of historical earnings per share data determined using
the combined historical capital structure for the three month period and nine
month period ended September 25, 1999, would not be meaningful and has not been
included in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Rather,
earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended September 25, 1999
have been computed assuming that the shares outstanding after the
recapitalization had been outstanding for these periods.
As a result of the recapitalization DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P.
and affiliated funds, management and other investors indirectly owned 87.5% of
the capital stock of the Company, and subsidiaries of Bausch and Lomb owned the
remaining 12.5% as of September 25, 1999. Based upon the amounts invested,
shares outstanding of common stock in Charles River Laboratories,
International, Inc. at the date of the recapitalization totaled 19,820,369.
Basic earnings per share for the three-month period ended and the nine month
period ended September 25, 1999 was computed by dividing earnings available to
common shareholders for these periods, by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding in the period subsequent to the recapitalization. Basic
earnings per share for the three month and the nine month periods ended
September 23, 2000 was computed by dividing earnings available to common
shareholders for these periods by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding in the respective periods.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for the three month
and the nine month periods ended September 25, 1999, the weighted average number
of common shares used in the basic earnings per share computation described
above has not been adjusted to include common stock equivalents, as these common
stock equivalents were issued in connection with the recapitalization financing
and are not assumed to be outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per
share in these periods. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding
in the three month and nine month periods ended September 23, 2000 has been
adjusted to include common stock equivalents for the purpose of calculating
diluted earnings per share before and after the extraordinary item for these
periods.

7. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
On February 28, 2000, the Company acquired an additional 16% of the equity
(340,840 common shares) of its 50% equity joint venture company, Charles River
Japan, from Ajinomoto Co., Inc. The purchase price for the equity was
1.4 billion yen, or $12,844. One billion yen, or $9,174, was paid at closing,
and the balance of 400 million yen, or $3,670, was deferred pursuant to a
three-year balloon promissory note secured by a pledge of the additional 16% of
shares. The note bears interest at the long-term prime rate in Japan, 2.4% at
September 23, 2000. Effective with the acquisition of this additional interest,
the Company has control of and is consolidating the operations of Charles River
Japan. The estimated fair value of the incremental net assets acquired is
$6,207. Goodwill of $6,637 has been recorded in the accompanying condensed
consolidated interim financial statements and is being amortized over its
estimated useful life of 15 years.

7. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS (CONTINUED)
On March 10, 2000, the Company announced the closure of its Shamrock primate
import and conditioning business in Small Dole, England. This closure was
completed during the second quarter of 2000. The Company does not expect that
the animal sales previously made by Shamrock will be significantly affected by
the closure. A charge of $751 related to the closure was recorded in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2000. This reserve
was fully utilized in the second quarter of 2000.
During January 2000, the Company sold a product line within its research
model business segment. The selling price of $7,000 approximated the net book
value of the underlying assets at the time of the sales. In addition the Company
had approximately $900 of deferred revenue which related to cash payments
received in advance of shipping the research models. Under the terms of the
sales agreement, the Company is no longer obligated to ship research models and,
accordingly, recorded this amount as income in the first quarter of 2000. Fiscal
1999 sales associated with this product line approximated $2,800.
8. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The following table presents sales and other financial information by
product line segment for the three months ended and the nine-month period ended
September 25, 1999 and September 23, 2000. Sales to unaffiliated customers

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 23, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 25, 1999
NET SALES. Net sales for the first nine months of 2000 were
$215.8 million, an increase of $54.7 million, or 34.0%, from $161.1 million for
the first nine months of 1999. Excluding the strategic transactions, which
include the acquisition of SBI Holdings Inc. ("Sierra") last September and the
acquisition of control of our 50/50 Japanese joint venture in February, on a pro
forma basis sales increased 9.0% in the first nine months of this year, and
10.0% excluding the impact of foreign currencies.
RESEARCH MODELS. Net sales of research models for the first nine months of
2000 were $131.7 million, an increase of $22.5 million, or 20.6%, from
$109.2 million for the first nine months of 1999. Small animal research model
sales increased in North America by 11.0% due to continued improved pricing, a
shift to higher priced specialty units and an increase in unit volume. Excluding
negative currency translation of $4.9 million, and the reduction in lab
equipment sales of $1.4 million, small animal research model sales in Europe
increased 2.0%. Small animal research model sales in Japan, which we started
consolidating in the first quarter of 2000, were $25.6 million for the first
nine months of 2000. We also experienced a decrease in the large animal
breeding, import and conditioning business of 1.0% principally due to closure of
a facility in the U.K., partially offset by increased North American sales. Our
large animal breeding colony, which was sold in the first quarter of 2000,
accounted for $2.5 million of sales for the nine months ended September 25,
1999.
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Net sales of biomedical products and
services for the first nine months in 2000 were $84.1 million, an increase of
$32.2 million, or 62.0%, from $51.9 million for the first nine months of 1999.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter in 1999 we acquired Sierra. On a pro
forma basis Sierra sales increased by $7.6 million or 47.5%. Sierra sales were
$23.6 million for the first nine months of 2000. Sales increased 33.9% in our
transgenic and research support services, endotoxin detection systems, biosafety
testing and contract site management services, primarily due to better customer
awareness of our outsourcing solutions.
COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD AND SERVICES PROVIDED. Cost of products sold and
services provided for the first nine months of 2000 was $126.4 million, an
increase of $29.2 million, or 30.0%, from $97.2 million for the first nine
months of 1999.
RESEARCH MODELS. Cost of products sold and services provided for research
models for the first nine months of 2000 was $77.2 million, an increase of
$11.8 million, or 18.0%, compared to $65.4 million for the first nine months of
1999. Cost of products sold and services provided for the first nine months of
2000 was 58.6% of net sales compared to 59.9% of net sales for the first nine
months in 1999. Cost of products sold and services provided increased at a lower
rate than net sales due to the more favorable product mix and better pricing, as
well as improved capacity utilization.
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Cost of products sold and services
provided for biomedical products and services for the first nine months of 2000
was $53.1 million, an increase of $21.3 million, or 67.0%, compared to
$31.8 million for the first nine months of 1999. Cost of products sold and
services provided as a percentage of net sales increased from 61.3% for the
first nine months in 1999 compared to 63.1% for the first nine months in 2000
due mainly to the acquisition of Sierra which has slightly lower margins.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2000 were $35.4 million, an
increase of $6.0 million, or 20.4%, from $29.4 million for the first nine months
of 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months
of 2000 were 16.4% of net sales compared to 18.2% of net sales for the first
nine months of 1999.
RESEARCH MODELS. Selling, general and administrative expenses for research
models for the first nine months of 2000 were $18.3 million, an increase of
$2.6 million, or 16.6%, compared to
15
<PAGE>
$15.7 million for the first nine months of 1999. The $2.6 million increase is
mainly due to consolidation of Charles River Japan, following our additional
equity investment in the first quarter of 2000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the first nine months in 2000 were 13.9% of net
sales, compared to 14.4% for the first nine months of 1999 due to improved cost
control.
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for biomedical products and services for the first nine months in 2000
were $11.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 54.7%, compared to
$7.5 million for the first nine months in 1999. The acquisition of Sierra in the
fourth quarter of 1999 accounts for $2.9 million of the increase. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the first nine months in 2000 decreased
to 13.8% of net sales, compared to 14.5% of net sales for the first nine months
in 1999, due to greater economies of scale.
UNALLOCATED CORPORATE OVERHEAD. Unallocated corporate overhead, which
consists of various corporate expenses, was $1.5 million for the first nine
months in 2000 compared to $6.2 million for the first nine months in 1999.
Unallocated corporate overhead has decreased mainly due to pension income from
favorable investment returns.
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES. Amortization of goodwill
and other intangibles for the first nine months in 2000 was $2.7 million, an
increase of $1.6 million from $1.1 million for the first nine months in 1999.
The increase was due to the effect of additional amortization of intangibles
resulting from our Sierra acquisition.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the first nine months in 2000 was
$51.3 million, an increase of $18.0 million, or 54.1%, from $33.3 million for
the first nine months of 1999. Operating income for the first nine months in
2000 was 23.8% of net sales, compared to 20.7% of net sales for the first nine
months of 1999. Operating income increased in total and as a percentage of net
sales for the reasons described above.
RESEARCH MODELS. Operating income from sales of research models for the
first nine months of 2000 was $35.8 million, an increase of $7.8 million, or
27.9%, from $28.0 million for the first nine months of 1999. Operating income
from sales of research models for the first nine months of 2000 was 27.2% of net
sales, compared to 25.6% for the first nine months of 1999. The increase was
attributable to the factors described above.
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Operating income from sales of biomedical
products and services for the first nine months of 2000 was $17.0 million, an
increase of $5.4 million, or 46.6%, from $11.6 million for the first nine months
of 1999. Operating income from sales of biomedical products and services for the
first nine months of 2000 decreased to 20.2% of net sales, compared to 22.4% of
net sales for the first nine months of 1999. The decrease is attributable to
sales growing at a higher rate than operating expenses.
INCOME TAXES. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2000
excluding the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance of $4.8 million
was 51.7% as compared to 48.4% for the first nine months in 1999 due to
permanent differences attributed to the high yield debt. The $4.8 million
reversal of the valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax asset, was
recorded as a tax benefit in the second quarter of 2000 due to a reassessment of
the need for a valuation allowance following the company's initial public
offering of 16,100,000 shares of its common stock.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the first nine months of 2000 was
$33.9 million compared to $0.2 million for the first nine months of 1999. The
$33.7 million increase from the first nine months of 1999 was primarily due to
the additional debt incurred as a result of the recapitalization which occurred
on September 29, 1999.
16
<PAGE>
INCOME BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY LOSS. Income before the extraordinary loss
for the first nine months of 2000 was $13.4 million, a decrease of $6.6 million
from $20.0 million for the first nine months of 1999. The decrease is driven by
the increase in interest expense, which is partially offset by the increase in
operating income and the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.
EXTRAORDINARY LOSS. The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of
$29.1 million during the third quarter of 2000. The pre-tax loss of
$44.8 million is the result of premiums related to the early repayment of debt
and the write off of deferred financing costs and issuance discounts associated
with the debt repayments net of tax benefits of $15.7 million.
NET INCOME/LOSS. The loss for the first nine months of 2000 was
$15.7 million, a decrease of $35.6 million from net income of $20.0 million for
the first nine months of 1999. The decrease was attributable to the
extraordinary loss associated with the debt repayment and the increased interest
expense, which is partially offset by the increase in operating income from
operations and the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 23, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 25, 1999
NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended September 23, 2000 were
$72.4 million, an increase of $19.5 million, or 36.9%, from $52.9 million for
the three months ended September 25, 1999.
RESEARCH MODELS. Net sales of research models for the three months ended
September 23, 2000 were $44.5 million, an increase of $9.1 million, or 25.7%,
from $35.4 million for the three months ended September 25, 1999. Small animal
research model sales increased in North America by 13.0% due to improved
pricing, a shift to higher priced specialty units and an increase in unit
volume. Excluding negative currency translation of $1.6 million, and the
reduction in lab equipment sales of $1.0 million, small animal research model
sales in Europe were essentially unchanged. Small animal research model sales in
Japan, which we started consolidating in the first quarter of 2000 were $10.8
million for the three months ended September 23, 2000. We also experienced an
increase of 12.0% in our large animal breeding and import and conditioning
business during the third quarter of 2000. Our large animal breeding colony,
which was sold in the first quarter of 2000, accounted for $0.9 million of sales
for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999.
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Net sales of biomedical products and
services for the three months ended September 23, 2000 were $27.9 million, an
increase of $10.4 million, or 59.4%, from $17.5 million for the three months
ended September 25, 1999. At the beginning of the fourth quarter in 1999 we
acquired Sierra. On a pro forma basis Sierra sales increased by $3.2 million or
64.0%. Sierra sales for the three months ended September 23, 2000 were $8.2
million. Sales increased by 26.7% in our transgenic and research support
services, endotoxin detection systems, biosafety testing and contract site
management services, primarily due to better customer awareness of our
outsourcing solutions.
COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD AND SERVICES PROVIDED. Cost of products sold and
services provided for the three months ended September 23, 2000 was
$42.5 million, an increase of $9.6 million, or 29.2%, from $32.9 million for the
three months ended September 25, 1999.
RESEARCH MODELS. Cost of products sold and services provided for research
models for the three months ended September 23, 2000 was $27.2 million, an
increase of $5.2 million, or 23.6%, compared to $22.0 million for the three
months ended September 25, 1999. Cost of products sold and services provided for
the three months ended September 23, 2000 improved to 61.1% of net sales
compared to 61.9% of net sales for the three months ended September 25, 1999.
Cost of products sold and services provided increased at a lower rate than net
sales due to the more favorable product mix and better pricing, as well as
improved capacity utilization.
17
<PAGE>
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Cost of products sold and services
provided for biomedical products and services for the three months ended
September 23, 2000 was $17.3 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 58.7%,
compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended September 25, 1999. Cost of
products sold and services provided as a percentage of net sales decreased to
62.0% for the three months ended September 23, 2000 from 62.3% for the three
months ended September 25, 1999.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended September 23, 2000 were
$11.1 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 16.8%, from $9.5 million for the
three months ended September 25, 1999. The consolidation of Charles River Japan
following our acquisition of additional equity in this entity during the first
quarter of 2000 and the acquisition of Sierra are the main reasons for the
dollar increase. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended September 23, 2000 were 15.3% of net sales compared to 18.0% of net
sales for the three months ended September 25, 1999.
RESEARCH MODELS. Selling, general and administrative expenses for research
models for the three months ended September 23, 2000 were $6.5 million, an
increase of $0.3 million, or 4.8%, compared to $6.2 million for the three months
ended September 25, 1999. The increase is mainly attributable to the
consolidation of Charles River Japan as mentioned above. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended September 23, 2000 were 14.6%
of net sales, compared to 17.5% for the three months ended September 25, 1999.
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for biomedical products and services for the three months ended
September 23, 2000 were $3.8 million, an increase of $2.2 million compared to
$1.6 million for the three months ended September 25, 1999. The acquisition of
Sierra in the fourth quarter of 1999 along with an increased selling effort
during the third quarter of 2000 account for this increase. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended September 23, 2000 increased
to 13.6% of net sales, compared to 9.1% of net sales for the three months ended
September 25, 1999.
UNALLOCATED CORPORATE OVERHEAD. Unallocated corporate overhead, which
consists of various corporate expenses, was $1.2 million of income for the three
months ended September 23, 2000, compared to $1.6 million expense for the three
months ended September 25, 1999 due mainly to pension income from favorable
investment returns.
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES. Amortization of goodwill
and other intangibles for the three months ended September 23, 2000 was
$0.9 million, an increase of $0.5 million from $0.4 million for the three months
ended September 25, 1999. The increase was due to the effect of additional
amortization of intangibles resulting from our Sierra acquisition and the
consolidation of Charles River Japan.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the three months ended September 23,
2000 was $17.8 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 74.5%, from
$10.2 million for the three months ended September 25, 1999. Operating income
for the three months ended September 23, 2000 was 24.6% of net sales, compared
to 19.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 25, 1999. Operating
income increased in total and as a percentage of net sales for the reasons
described above.
RESEARCH MODELS. Operating income from sales of research models for the
three months ended September 23, 2000 was $10.6 million, an increase of
$2.8 million, or 35.9%, from $7.8 million for the three months ended
September 25, 1999. Operating income from sales of research models for the three
months ended September 23, 2000 was 23.8% of net sales, compared to 22.0% for
the three months ended September 25, 1999. The increase was attributable to the
factors described above.
BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Operating income from sales of biomedical
products and services for the three months ended September 23, 2000 was
$6.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million,
18
<PAGE>
or 46.3%, from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 25, 1999.
Operating income from sales of biomedical products and services for the three
months ended September 23, 2000 decreased to 21.5% of net sales, compared to
23.4% of net sales for the three months ended September 25, 1999. This was
primarily due to the acquisition of Sierra, and the impact of additional
amortization of intangibles.
INCOME TAXES. The effective tax rate for the three months ended
September 23, 2000 of 50.2% compares favorably to the effective tax rate of
58.8% for the three months ended September 25, 1999.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended
September 23, 2000 was $8.1 million, compared to essentially no interest expense
for the three months ended September 25, 1999. The $8.1 million increase for the
third quarter was primarily due to the additional debt incurred as a result of
the recapitalization which occurred on September 29, 1999. During the third
quarter of 2000 we paid down a portion of our existing debt which resulted in
lower interest expense.
INCOME BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY LOSS. Income before the extraordinary loss
for the three months ended September 23, 2000 was $4.8 million, a decrease of
$0.8 million from $5.6 million for the three months ended September 25, 1999.
The decrease is driven by the increase in interest expense, which is partially
offset by the increase in operating income.
EXTRAORDINARY LOSS. The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of
$29.1 million during the third quarter of 2000. The pre-tax loss of
$44.8 million is the result of premiums related to the early repayment of debt
and the write off of deferred financing costs and issuance discounts associated
with the debt repayments, net of tax benefits of $15.7 million.
NET INCOME/LOSS. The loss for the three months ended September 23, 2000 was
$24.3 million, a decrease of $29.9 million from net income of $5.6 million for
the three months ended September 25, 1999. The decrease was attributable to the
extraordinary loss recognized with the repayment of the debt, along with the
increased interest expense, which is partially offset by increased operating
income from operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents of Charles River totaled $28.0 million at
September 23, 2000 compared with $15.0 million at December 25, 1999. Our
principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations along with cash
provided by our initial public offering.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 23, 2000 was $20.8 million compared to net cash provided of
$19.8 million for the nine months ended September 25, 1999. The improved cash
flows from operating activities are due to our performance during the first nine
months of 2000.
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ending
September 23, 2000 was $7.5 million compared to $5.0 million for the nine months
ending September 25, 1999. On February 28, 2000, the company acquired an
additional 16% of the equity (340,840 common shares) of its 50% equity joint
venture company, Charles River Japan, from Ajinomoto Co., Inc. The purchase
price for the equity was 1.4 billion yen or $12.8 million. One billion yen, or
$9.2 million was paid at closing and the balance of 400 million yen, or
$3.7 million was deferred pursuant to a three year balloon promissory note. In
addition, we acquired $3.2 million in cash. In January we sold our primate
colony in Florida for $7.0 million. Capital expenditures for the first nine
months ending September 23, 2000 were $8.5 million compared to $7.4 million for
the nine months ending September 25, 1999. We also received dividends from
equity investments of $0.8 million and proceeds from the sale of a large animal
facility of $1.9 million during the nine month period ending September 25, 1999.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ending
September 23, 2000 was $1.5 million compared to cash used of $34.6 million for
the first nine months in 1999. We received $236.0 million from our initial
public offering of which we used $204.8 million to pay down our existing debt
and $31.5 million to pay premiums associated with the early repayment of the
debt. Net activity with Bausch & Lomb, our 100% shareholder up until the
racapitalization for the first nine months of 1999 was $34.2 million in net
payments to Bausch and Lomb.
We anticipate that our operating cash flow, together with borrowings under
our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated future operating
expenses, capital expenditures and debt service obligations as they become due.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to market risks arising from changes in interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary interest rate exposure results from
changes in LIBOR or the base rate which are used to determine the applicable
interest rates under our term loans and revolving credit facility. We have
entered into an interest rate protection agreement designed to protect us
against fluctuations in interest rates with respect to at least 50% of the
aggregate principal amount of the term loans and the senior subordinated notes.
Interest rate swaps have the effect of converting variable rate obligations to
fixed or other interest rate obligations. Our potential loss over one year that
would result from a hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable change of 100
basis points in the interest rate on all of our variable rate obligations would
be approximately $1.3 million. Fluctuations in interest rates will not affect
the interest payable on the senior subordinated notes, which is fixed.
We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative
purposes.
We also have exposure to some foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
for the cash flows received from our foreign affiliates. This risk is mitigated
by the fact that their operations are conducted in their respective local
currencies, and it is not our intention to repatriate earnings prospectively.
Currently, we do not engage in any foreign currency hedging activities as we do
not believe that our foreign currency exchange rate risk is material.
