Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2010 (unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Professional Veterinary
Products, Ltd., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
The information contained in the financial statements is unaudited. The statements reflect all
normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009 filed with the SEC. The Company follows the
same accounting policies in preparation of interim financial statements. These policies are
presented in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included on Form 10-K referred to
above. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of July 31, 2009 has been
derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.
The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2010 or
any other period.
NOTE 2 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB ASC 105, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the only source of
authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, except that
rules and interpretive releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also are
sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Subsequent to the issuance of FASB ASC 105, the
FASB will no longer issue Statements, Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts, but
will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) which will amend the Codification. The adoption of
this statement did not impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4 LINE OF CREDIT:
Until January 29, 2010, the Company had a revolving line of credit with First National Bank of
Omaha (FNB) that provided for borrowings up to $37,500. The short-term borrowing amounts
outstanding under this credit facility were $0 and $20,287 at January 31, 2010, and July 31, 2009,
respectively. The credit agreement expired on December 1, 2010, but was extended until February 1,
2010. Prior to the extension, interest was payable at 1.25% or 1.50% over the London InterBank
Offered Rate (LIBOR), depending on the Companys cash flow leverage ratio, and under the extension,
interest was payable at 1.5% plus LIBOR or 5%, whichever was higher. The weighted average interest
rates of borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement were 3.11% and 3.58% for the periods
ending January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2009, respectively. The average dollar amounts of the
borrowing were $17,110 and $24,909 for the periods ending January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2009,
respectively. As a result of the interest rate swap (see note 9), the Company paid an effective
interest rate of 4.59% for borrowings up to $10,000 for the period ending January 31, 2010. The
line of credit was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The credit agreement contained certain covenants related to financial ratios and restricted the
Company from paying dividends.
On January 29, 2010, the Company executed a Credit and Security Agreement (Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association (Lender). The Lender may loan up to forty million dollars ($40,000), in
accordance with the terms of the Revolving Note, which is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, except for real estate owned by the Company. Under the
Revolving Note, the Lender shall provide advances to the Company, which may be used as needed by
the Company through the maturity date of January 31, 2013. The initial proceeds of the revolving
loan facility were used to payoff the Companys indebtedness to FNB, including the prepayment
penalty, and the remaining proceeds were used to provide working capital support. At January 31,
2010, the Company has $33,100 outstanding under the revolving loan facility. Interest shall be
paid at a variable rate, reset daily, equal to the daily three month LIBOR rate plus a margin of
either (i) 3.50% (see below) or (ii) 3.0%, if for the Companys fiscal year ending July 31, 2010, the Company
attains a certain debt service coverage ratio and meets a net income requirement. Upon an event of
default, the Revolving Note shall bear interest at the daily three month LIBOR rate plus the margin
plus 3.00% per annum. Availability on the revolving loan facility is limited based on certain
advance rates for inventory and accounts receivable and is further reduced by reserves as
established by the Lender. The Credit Agreement includes a lock-box arrangement, requires an unused
line fee of 0.50% per annum payable monthly and includes a minimum interest charge of $300 per
annum. The Company also incurred a non-refundable origination fee of $200 upon the execution of the
agreement. The Credit Agreement imposes certain financial covenants, which require that the
Company achieve minimum net income thresholds for designated periods through and including October
31, 2010. The Credit Agreement also requires that the Company maintain, as of its fiscal year
ending July 31, 2010, a certain debt service coverage ratio, and that the Company not incur or
contract to
7
Table of Contents
incur capital expenditures exceeding a specified amount during any fiscal year. At January
31, 2010, the Company received a waiver of non-compliance of certain covenants.
On March 15, 2010, the Company,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Wells Fargo executed
the First Amendment and Waiver to Credit and Security Agreement (the Amendment).
The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement referenced above. The Company and Wells Fargo
amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, waive the Companys default under the
Credit Agreement and amend the floating interest rate. Effective March 1, 2010, interest
shall be paid at a variable rate, reset daily, equal to the daily three month London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate plus a margin of 5.50%. The Company also agreed to retain a management
consultant to evaluate and assess the business of the Company.
NOTE 5 EARNINGS PER SHARE:
FASB ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share, promulgates accounting standards for the computation and
manner of presentation of the Companys earnings per share data. Under this Section, the Company is
required to present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock. There are no securities that are convertible to common stock that would cause further
dilution. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 1,922 and 1,995 for the
three month periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 1,929 and 2,011 for the six
months periods then ended, respectively.
NOTE 6 COMMON STOCK:
The Company is authorized to issue 30,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $1.00.
There were 1,916 and 1,948 issued and outstanding shares at January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009,
respectively. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. They are also
entitled to their pro rata share of dividends, if and when, declared and in the event of
liquidation or dissolution, their pro rata share of monies after liabilities. Shareholders are not
permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of their stock except by a sale back to the
Company.
NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. FASB ASC
740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account
balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.
As of January 31, 2010, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $600. No
valuation allowance was recorded as of July 31, 2009.
FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition
threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
This section also contains guidance on derecognition, measurement and classification of amounts
relating to uncertain tax positions, accounting for and disclosure of interest and penalties and
accounting in interim periods.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and
local jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and
finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of a
resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, management believes the accrual for income
taxes reflects the most probable outcome. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to
U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to
July 31, 2006.
The Companys policy is to classify interest expense and any penalties related to income tax
uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. There was no interest expense, net of tax
benefits, or penalty relating to tax uncertainties recognized in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended January 31, 2010 or 2009. There
were no accrued interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties reported on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009.

NOTE 8 POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS:
For the six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, benefits accrued and expensed were $114
and $162, respectively, for the Companys Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). The plan
is an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan and is not subject to the minimum funding
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Although the SERP is an
unfunded plan, the Company is informally funding the plan through life insurance contracts on the
participants. The life insurance contracts had cash surrender values of $2,806 and $2,709 at
January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, respectively.

NOTE 9 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
As a temporary strategy to maintain acceptable levels of exposure to the risk of changes in
future cash flows due to interest rate fluctuations, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
agreement for a portion of its floating rate debt. Under this agreement, the Company received
interest from the counterparty at LIBOR and paid interest to the counterparty at a fixed rate of
3.09% on notional amounts of $10,000 until December 1, 2009. As a result of the interest rate swap,
the Company paid an effective interest rate of 4.59% for borrowings up to $10,000 for the period
ending January 31, 2010. Under the agreement, the Company paid or received the net interest
monthly, with the monthly settlements included in interest expense. The interest rate swap
agreement terminated on December 1, 2009.
Management designated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedging instrument. For
derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion
of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or
loss. Gains and losses on the valuation of the derivative representing either hedge fund
ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in
current earnings.

NOTE 10 DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures effective August 1,
2008. FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
standard describes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The
standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | ||
Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities | ||
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities |
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at
fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation
hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement
The fair value is estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be
corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value on a recurring
basis and the level within the FASB ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value

NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
Stock Redemption The Bylaws grant the Company discretion to repurchase shares of common
stock at the time of the shareholders request for redemption. The Company may, but is not
obligated to, repurchase such shares. See Note 6 for additional information.
Major Customers, Major Suppliers and Credit Concentrations Other financial assets and
liabilities, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are trade
accounts receivable and trade payables. Two vendors comprised 53.3% and 52.7% of all purchases for
the six month periods ending January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2009, respectively.
Other On April 7, 2009, IVESCO Holdings, LLC (IVESCO) filed a lawsuit in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Case No. 1:09CV52, against the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiary, ProConn LLC (ProConn). IVESCO alleges that the Company conspired with
certain departing IVESCO employees to take over or steal the IVESCO swine business through the
simultaneous departure of most of the employees in the swine division. IVESCO also alleges a
conspiracy to unfairly compete, tortious interference with business expectancies between IVESCO and
its customers and employee relationships, aiding and abetting an alleged breach of duty by former
IVESCO employees, and unjust enrichment by the receipt of sales revenue without payment of fair
value. IVESCO seeks damages in an unstated amount, the imposition of a constructive trust upon
earnings of the Companys swine product sales, restitution by disgorgement of profits, interest,
punitive damages, costs and attorney fees. The Company has filed a responsive pleading denying the
allegations and intends to vigorously defend against IVESCOs claims.
In addition to IVESCO litigation, the Company is subject to claims and other actions arising
in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims and actions may result in lawsuits where
the Company is a defendant. Management believes that the ultimate obligations if any, which may
result from unfavorable outcomes of such lawsuits, will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and such obligations, if
any, would be adequately covered by insurance.

NOTE 12 SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company has three reportable segments: Wholesale Distribution, Logistics Services and
Direct Customer Services. The Wholesale Distribution segment is a wholesaler of animal health
products. This segment distributes products primarily to licensed veterinarians or business
entities comprised of licensed veterinarians. The Logistics Services segment provides logistics and
distribution service operations for vendors of animal health products and business-to-business type
transactions. The Logistics Services segment distributes products primarily to other animal health
companies. The Direct Customer Services segment acts as a supplier of animal health products to the
producer or consumer. Animal health products are shipped to locations closer to the final
destination. The segments trucking operations transport the products directly to the producer or
consumer.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies as detailed in the Companys consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009,
filed with the SEC. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations
before income taxes. The Companys reportable segments are strategic business units that serve
different types of customers in the animal health industry. The separate financial information of
each segment is presented consistent with the way results are regularly evaluated by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Since the Companys reportable segments all provide essentially the same products and
services, the Company believes it would be impracticable to report the revenue from external
customers for each product and service or each group of similar products and services in accordance
with FASB ASC 280-10-50, Segment Reporting.

NOTE 14 SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND CONCENTRATIONS
Current Economic Conditions The current protracted economic decline continues to present
distributors with difficult circumstances and challenges, which in some cases have resulted in
large and unanticipated declines in the fair value of investments and other assets, declines in the
volume of business, constraints on liquidity and difficulty obtaining financing. The financial
statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company.
Current economic and financial market conditions could adversely affect our results of
operation in future periods. The current instability in the financial markets may make it difficult
for certain of our customers to obtain financing, which may significantly impact the volume of
future sales which could have an adverse impact on the Companys future operating results.
In addition, given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and
liabilities recorded in the financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future
adjustments in investment values, allowances for accounts and notes receivable, net realizable
value of inventory, realization of deferred tax assets and valuation of intangibles and goodwill
that could negatively impact the Companys ability to meet debt covenants or maintain sufficient
liquidity.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes that are included in this quarterly report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are contained principally in the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements about:
| the current economic environment affecting the Company and the markets its serves; | ||

| estimates regarding the Companys capital requirements and its need for additional financing; | ||
| the Companys ability to attract customers and the market acceptance of its products; | ||
| our ability to establish relationships with suppliers of products; and | ||
| plans for future products and services and for enhancements of existing products and services. |
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as may, intend,
might, will, should, could, would, expect, believe, estimate, predict,
potential, or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future
events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these
uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these statements. Also, these statements
represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.
These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations
of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements: decreased
demand for our services or loss of one or more of our major customers; surplus inventories; loss of
one or more of our major vendors; recessionary economic cycles; strikes, work slowdowns, or work
stoppages at our vendors facilities; increases in interest rates; and increases in the prices paid
for goods. Readers should review and consider these factors along with the various disclosures we
make in public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
Professional Veterinary Products, Ltd. provides distribution services of animal health
products through three business segments: Wholesale Distribution (PVP), Logistics Services (Exact
Logistics), and Direct Customer Services (ProConn) which are further described on page 18.
15
Table of Contents
We generate a significant portion of our net sales and other revenue by providing
pharmaceuticals, vaccines, supplies, equipment and other animal health related items to our
customers through our wholesale distribution segment. The main factor that impacts our net sales
and other revenue is the Companys ability to offer a broad product line combined with our
excellent and knowledgeable customer service. For the three month period ending January 31, 2010,
a majority of our sales and other revenue were derived from the Wholesale Distribution Segment, and
approximately 35% were derived from Direct Customer Services segment.
During the quarter ended January 31, 2010, the Companys net sales and other revenues
increased by $13.3 million or 20.6% and cost of sales increased by $15.6 million or 28.4%
resulting in a decrease in gross profit of $2.3 million or 22.3% compared to the prior period. The
increase of cost of sales is primarily attributed to a decrease in sales performance income of $1.0
million, a decrease in agency sales commission of $0.6 million and a decrease in purchase
performance income of $0.6 million. For the quarter, net loss was $2.4 million compared to net
loss of $0.03 million in the prior comparative period. The net loss resulted from a decrease in
gross profit of $2.3 million.
Vendor sales and purchase incentives range from one-time opportunities to programs that last a
month, a quarter, a trimester, or an entire year. Vendor sales and purchase incentives are recorded
as a reduction of cost of sales. Incentives are recognized when goals are achieved or when they are
estimated and are likely to be achieved.
Looking forward, management believes that cost of sales and labor expense will continue to be
the most pressing issues facing the industry and us in the foreseeable future and will continue to
impact our profitability. We remain focused on maximizing shareholders value through utilization
of technology and enhancing the Companys product lines.
Current Assets
During the six month period ending January 31, 2010, the Companys current assets increased
$8.4 million primarily due to an additional $6.1 million of cash, an increase to accounts
receivable of $3.8 million, and an increase in inventory of $1.5 million. These increases were
offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in other current assets. Other current assets include prepaid
insurance, prepaid income tax and sales tax receivable. This resulted from a decrease in cash
receipts from customers and an increase in product purchased from vendors. Accounts receivable
increased due to transition of customers from the credit card payment option to the Automatic
Clearing House (ACH) option. By offering ACH, the Company pays fewer fees and the customer still
has the ability to use credit terms. Inventory increased due to new product lines for swine,
poultry and dairy business.
Current Liabilities
During the six month period ending January 31, 2010, the Companys current liabilities
increased $17.0 million primarily due to an increase in notes payable of $12.8 million, an increase
in accounts payable of $5.1 million and a decrease in the current portion of long term-debt and
capital lease obligation of $0.4 million.
Results of Operations
The following discussion is based on the historical results of operations for the three month
periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009.

Three months ended January 31, 2010 as compared to three months ended January 31, 2009
Net sales and other revenue for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 increased $13.3
million to $78.1 million compared to $64.7 million for the same period the previous year. The
increase in net sales and other revenue resulted primarily from an increase in volume of sales to
new customers.
Cost of sales for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 increased $15.5 million to
$70.3 million compared to $54.8 million for the same period the previous year. This increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in overall revenues of $13.3 million and an increase in sales
discounts of $1.0 million. Cost of sales includes the Companys inventory product cost plus freight
costs less vendor sales and purchase incentives. Vendor purchase and sales incentives are described
above on page 16.
Gross profit for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 decreased $2.2 million to $7.7
million compared to $9.9 million for the same period the previous year. This decrease is primarily
attributable to a decrease in purchase incentives earned by the Company. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales and other revenue was 9.9% compared to 15.4% for the same period the
previous year.
Operating, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ending January 31,
2009 increased $0.4 million to $10.4 million compared to $9.9 million for the same period the
previous year. The increase in operating, general and administrative expenses resulted primarily
from an increase in payroll and payroll taxes of $0.9 million due to the opening of distribution
centers in Quincy, Illinois, Mankato, Minnesota, Iowa Falls, Iowa, and Fort Smith, Arkansas. The
increases were offset by an increase in marketing income of $0.2 million and a decrease in credit
card fees of $0.1 million. The Companys long-term strategy is to utilize competitive pricing with
operational efficiencies to compete in todays marketplace. To further this strategy, the Company
is developing a pricing strategy with forecasting and predictive modeling capabilities, which the
Company anticipates will allow it to respond to the continually changing market conditions. These
expenses as a percentage of net sales and other revenue were 13.3% compared to 15.3% for the same
period the previous year.
Operating loss for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 was $2.7 million compared to
operating income of $0.01 million for the same period the previous year. The loss was primarily
attributable to the increase in operating, general and administrative expenses as noted above and
a decrease in gross profit margin of $2.2 million.
Net loss was $2.4 million compared to $0.03 million loss for the same period the previous
year. The net income loss increase was primarily due to an increase in operating loss of $2.7
million.
Operating Segments three months ended January 31, 2010 as compared to three months ended January
31, 2009
The Company has three reportable segments: Wholesale Distribution (PVP), Logistics Services
(Exact Logistics), and Direct Customer Services (ProConn). The Wholesale Distribution segment is a
wholesaler of animal health products to veterinarians. This segment distributes products primarily
to Company shareholders, who are licensed veterinarians or business entities comprised of licensed
veterinarians. The Logistics Services segment provides animal health products to other animal
health wholesalers. The Logistic Services segment serves business-to-business type transactions.
The Direct Customer Services segment is a supplier of animal health products to the producer or
consumer. Animal health products are shipped to locations closer to the final destination. The
segments trucking operations transport the products directly to the producer or consumer.
The Companys reportable segments are strategic business units that serve different types of
customers in the animal health industry. The separate financial information of each segment is
presented consistent with the way
17
Table of Contents
results are regularly evaluated by the Companys management, who decides how to allocate
resources and assesses performance. For additional quantitative segment information, see Note 12 of
the Companys Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at January 31, 2010.
Wholesale Distribution
Net sales and other revenue for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 increased by
22.8% or $14.3 million. Net sales and other revenue for the three month period ending January 31,
2010 totaled $77.3 million compared to $62.9 million for the same three month period in the prior
fiscal year. The increase in net sales and other revenue resulted primarily from an increase in
sales volume to existing customers and new customers.
Cost of sales for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 increased $18.0 million to
$72.3 million compared to $54.3 million for the same period the previous year. As a percentage of
revenue, cost of sales increased from 86.3% at January 31, 2009 to 93.6% at January 31, 2010. This
increase is directly attributable to an increase in net sales. Cost of sales includes the Companys
inventory product cost plus freight costs less vendor purchase and sales incentives.
Gross profit decreased by $3.7 million to $5.0 million compared to $8.6 million for the same
three month period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease is primarily attributable to an increase
in cost of sales of $18.0 million and offset by the increase in net sales and revenue of $14.3
million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 6.4% for the three month period ending
January 31, 2010 compared to 13.7% for the same three month period in the previous year.
Operating, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.9 million to $7.6 million for
the three month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to $8.6 million for the previous year. This
decrease in operating, general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from an increase in
marking income of $0.2 million, and a decrease in bad debt expense of $0.2 million. Such
operating, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the three month
period ending January 31, 2010 was 9.8% compared to 13.6% for the three month period ended January
31, 2009.
Operating loss was $2.6 million for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to
operating income of $0.05 million for the previous year. This increase is primarily attributable to
a decrease in gross profit of $3.7 million and offset by an increase in billable marking income of
$0.2 million and a decrease in bad debt expense of $0.2 million.
Logistics Services
The Company provides logistics and distribution services as an added value to its customers.
This segment represents a nominal portion of the Companys revenue and expenses. Net sales and
other revenue for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 increased by $0.01 million. Net
sales and other revenue for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 totaled $0.07 million
compared to $0.06 million for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Cost of sales for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 increased $0.009 million to
$0.06 million compared to $0.05 million from the same period the previous year. This increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in cost of goods sold of $0.009 million. The cost of goods
sold includes the Companys inventory product cost. Gross profit decreased by $0.001 million to
$0.009 million during the three month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to $0.01 million for

nominal for this segment and do not materially impact income.

For the three month period ending January 31, 2010, net sales and other revenue increased by
195% or $18.1 million. Net sales and other revenue for the three month period ending January 31,
2010 totaled $27.3 million compared to $9.2 million for the same period the previous year.
Cost of sales for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 increased by $17.4 million to
$25.3 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period the previous year. This increase is
primarily attributable to additional sales for the new distribution centers in Quincy, Illinois,
Mankato, Minnesota, Iowa Falls, Iowa, and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Cost of sales includes the
Companys inventory product cost plus freight costs less vendor purchase and sales incentives.
Gross profit increased by $0.7 million to $2.1 million in the three month period ending
January 31, 2010 compared to $1.4 million for the same period the previous fiscal year. This
increase was primarily attributable due to the increase in net sales and other revenue and offset
by the decrease in cost of sales. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 7.7% for the
three month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to 15.1% for the three month period ended
January 31, 2009.
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million to $2.8 million for
the three month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to $1.3 million for the previous year. The
increase in operating, general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from an increase in
labor costs of $0.5 million and the operating expenses for the opening of distribution centers in
Quincy, Illinois, Mankato, Minnesota, Iowa Falls, Iowa, and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Such operating,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the three month period
ending January 31, 2010 were 10.1% and compared to 14.5% during the same three month period ending
January 31, 2009.
Operating loss was $0.7 million for the three month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to
operating income of $0.05 million for the same period in the previous year. This change is
primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses.

Six months ended January 31, 2010 as compared to six months ended January 31, 2009
Net sales and other revenue for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 increased $6.6
million to $157.1 million compared to $150.5 million for the same period the previous year. The
increase in net sales and other revenue resulted primarily due to an increase in the volume of
sales to new customers.
Cost of sales for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 increased $9.4 million to
$141.8 million compared to $132.4 million for the same period the previous year. This increase is
primarily attributable to additional sales for the new distribution centers in Quincy, Illinois;
Mankato, Minnesota; Iowa Falls, Iowa; and Fort

Smith, Arkansas. Cost of sales includes the Companys inventory product cost plus freight
costs less vendor sales and purchase incentives.
Gross profit for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 decreased $2.8 million to $15.3
million compared to $18.1 million for the same period the previous year. This decrease is primarily
attributable to a decrease in vendor sales and purchase incentives earned by the Company. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales and other revenue was 9.7% compared to 12.0% for the same
period the previous year.
Operating, general and administrative expenses for the six month period ending January 31,
2010 decreased $0.8 million to $19.5 million compared to $20.3 million for the same period the
previous year. The decrease in operating, general and administrative expenses resulted primarily
from a decrease in computer support expense. This decrease is primarily attributable to the
decrease in outsourcing of IT projects.
Operating loss for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 increased to
$4.2 million compared to a loss of $2.2 million for the same period the previous year. The Companys
other expense was $0.6 million for the six month period ending January 31, 2010, compared to $0.4
million for the same period the previous year. Interest expense increased to $0.7 million for the
six month period ending January 31, 2010, from $0.6 million for the same period in the previous
year while interest income decreased to $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million in the prior period.
The increase in the Companys other expense resulted primarily from additional interest paid on our
line of credit and fewer finance charges collected on past due accounts. This is due to the
transition from First National Bank of Omaha to Wells Fargo and a decrease in accounts receivables.
Net loss increased by $1.9 million to $3.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the same
period the previous year. The net loss increase was primarily due to an increase in cost of sales
and a decrease in gross profit.
Operating Segments Six months ended January 31, 2010 compared to six months ended January 31, 2009

totaled $155.8 million compared to $147.1 million for the same six month period in the prior fiscal
year. The increase in net sales and other revenue resulted primarily due to an increase in sales
volume to existing customers.
Cost of sales for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 increased $13.4 million to
$145.7 million compared to $132.3 million for the same period the previous year. This increase is

product cost plus freight costs less vendor purchase and sales incentives.
Gross profit decreased by $4.7 million to $10.1 million for the six month period ending
January 31, 2010 compared to $14.8 million for the same six month period in the prior fiscal year.
This decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in cost of sales of $13.4 million and offset
by an increase in sales and other revenue of $8.7 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total
revenue was 6.4% for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to 10.0% for the same
six month period in the previous year.
Operating, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.6 million to $14.3 million for
six month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to $16.9 million for the previous year. This
decrease in operating, general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from decreases in
professional services of $0.7 million, operating expense of $0.1 million, marketing of $0.4
million, benefits of $0.5 million, and administrative expenses of $0.04 million. Such operating,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the six month period

Operating loss increased by $2 million to $(4.2) million for the six month period ending
January 31, 2010 compared to $(2.2) million for the previous year. This increase is primarily
attributable to a decrease in gross profit of $4.7 million and offset by a decrease in professional

Net sales and other revenue for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 increased by
83.4% or $23.2 million. Net sales and other revenue for the six month period ending January 31,
2010 totaled $50.9 million compared to $27.7 million for the same period the previous year. The
increase in net sales and other revenue resulted primarily from an increase in sales to new
customers.
Cost of sales for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 increased by $22.5 million to
$47.4 million compared to $24.9 million for the same period the previous year. This increase is
directly attributable to the increase of cost of goods sold. The cost of goods sold includes the
Companys inventory product cost and freight costs less vendor purchase and sales incentives.
Gross profit increased by $0.6 million to $3.5 million in the six month period ending January
31, 2010 compared to $2.9 million for the same period the previous fiscal year. This increase was
directly attributable to the increase in sales to new customers. Gross profit as a percentage of
total revenue was 7.1% for the six month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to 10.3% for the
six month period ended January 31, 2009.
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.8 million to $5.2 million for
the six month period ending January 31, 2010 compared to $3.4 million for the previous year. The
increase in operating, general and administrative expenses resulted in part from an increase in
labor costs of $0.5 million and the operating expenses for the opening of distribution centers in
Quincy, Illinois; Mankato, Minnesota; Iowa Falls, Iowa; and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Such operating,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the six month period
ending January 31, 2010 were 10.2% and compared to 12.1% during the same six month period ending
January 31, 2009.
Operating loss increased by $1.1 million to $1.6 million for the six month period ending
January 31, 2010 compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million for the same period in the previous
year. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses of $1.8
million and partially offset by an increase of gross profit of $0.7 million.
Seasonality in Operating Results
The Companys quarterly sales and operating results have varied in the past and will likely
continue to do so in the future. Historically, the Companys livestock sales are seasonable with
peak sales in the spring and fall. The cyclical nature is directly tied to certain medical
procedures performed by veterinarians on livestock during these seasons. Companion animal products
have a different seasonal nature which minimally overlaps the livestock business cycles. The net
result is a reduction of the cyclical seasonal nature of the business. Minimizing the cyclical
nature of the Companys business has allowed for more efficient utilization of all resources.

Table of Contents
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company expends capital primarily to fund day-to-day operations and expand those
operations to accommodate sales growth. It is necessary for the Company to expend funds to maintain
significant inventory levels in order to fulfill its commitment to its customers. Historically, the
Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from short term bank borrowings and cash from
operations. At January 31, 2010, there were no additional material commitments for capital
expenditures other than as noted below.
Under its Bylaws, the Company may, in its discretion, decide to repurchase shares of common
stock upon request for redemption by a shareholder.
Operating Activities. Net cash consumed by operating activities of $2.4 million for the six
months ending January 31, 2010, was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of
$4.3 million and an increase in inventory of $1.5 million. These were offset by an increase of
$4.9 million in accounts payable. The increase in accounts payable was primary attributed to the
increase in purchase on inventory. Net cash consumed by operating activities of $12.2 million for
the six months ending January 31, 2009, was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts
receivable of $1.2 million, an increase in inventory of $3.5 million, and a decrease of $5.6
million in accounts payable. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to
extended promotional terms.
Investing Activities. Net cash consumed by investing activities was $0.6 million for the six
months ending January 31, 2010 compared to $0.4 million for the six months ending January 31, 2009.
During both periods, the Company purchased office, warehouse, and computer equipment and paid
premiums for life insurance on the Companys officers.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities of $8.9 million for the
period ending January 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to net loan proceeds of $12.8 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $14.0 million for the period ending January 31, 2009
was primarily attributable to net loan proceeds of $14.3 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At January 31, 2010, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The SEC issued disclosure guidance for critical accounting policies. The SEC defines
critical accounting policies as those that require application of managements most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect
of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
The Companys significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Companys
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009 filed with the SEC. Not all of these significant accounting
policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates.
However, management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the
preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported
amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically
and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following are some of the Companys critical
accounting policies impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts
22
Table of Contents
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of products and agency agreements.
Revenues are recognized as product is received by the customer and related services are performed
in accordance with all applicable revenue recognition criteria. For these transactions, the Company
applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Agency
sales are transactions presented on a net basis. The Company recognizes revenue when there is
pervasive evidence of an arrangement, title and risk of loss have passed, delivery has occurred or
the contractual obligations are met, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the
related receivable is reasonably assured.
Inventories
Inventories consist substantially of finished goods held for resale and are valued at the
lower of cost or market, not in excess of net realizable value. Cost is determined primarily by the
weighted average cost method.
Major Customers, Major Suppliers and Credit Concentrations
Other financial assets and liabilities, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, are trade accounts receivable and trade payables. Two vendors
comprised 53.3% and 52.7% of all purchases for the six month periods ending January 31, 2010 and at
January 31, 2009, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differences between
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established
to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be
realized. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries. See Note 7
Income Taxes for additional details.
Other Intangible Assets
Annually, the Company subjects other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives to
an impairment test, in accordance with accounting procedures generally accepted in the United
States. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
Other identifiable intangible assets consist of the Company trademark and loan origination
fees. Trademarks have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized. Loan origination fees
constitute the Companys identifiable intangible asset subject to amortization. Amortization of the
loan origination fees is computed on a straight-line basis over the term of the related note.
Amortization expense is included in operating, general, and administrative expenses on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.
Pension Accounting
For the six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, benefits accrued and expensed were $0.2
million and $0.2 million, respectively. The plan is an unfunded supplemental executive retirement
plan and is not subject to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA). Although the SERP is an unfunded plan, the Company is informally funding the
plan through life insurance contracts on the participants. The life insurance contracts had cash
surrender values of $2.8 million and $2.7 million at January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009,
respectively.

Recent Accounting Changes
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the sole source of authoritative
generally accepted accounting principles. Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 105, the Company
has updated references and GAAP in its financial statements issued for the period ended January 31,
2010. The adoption of FASB ASC 105 did not impact the Companys financial position or results of
operations.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates. The Company
does not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
From November 2006 until January 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries borrowed funds from
FNB. Pursuant to the terms of the loan documents, FNB loaned to the Company and its subsidiaries up
to $42.2 million, which included a $37.5 million revolving loan facility and a $4.7 million term
loan facility. The Term Note was amortized over a ten year period and its interest rate was fixed
at 7.35% per annum. Installments of principal and interest in the amount of $55,282 were payable
monthly. Effective August 21, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries could borrow up to $37.5
million pursuant to the Revolving Note with FNB. Advances were used by the Company for working
capital. The termination date of December 1, 2009, was extended until February 1, 2010. Interest
was paid at a variable rate, reset daily equal to the LIBOR Rate as determined by FNB plus (i)
1.25% per annum when the cash flow leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 or (ii)
1.50% per annum when the cash flow leverage ratio is more than 3.00 to 1.00. Effective December 1,
2009 interest was paid at the higher of available rate 1.5% plus LIBOR or (iii) a fixed rate of 5%
per annum. These notes were paid off on January 29, 2010 and the Company incurred a prepayment fee
of $0.2 million in connection with the payoff of the Term Note.
On January 29, 2010, the Company executed a Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association with a maturity date of January 31, 2013. The Company may borrow up to
$40.0 million pursuant to the Revolving Note. The initial advance was used to repay the Term and
Revolving Notes with FNB. Going forward, advances will be used by the Company for working capital.
Interest is paid at a variable rate, reset daily, equal to the daily three month London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate plus a margin of either (i) 3.50% or (ii) 3.0%, if for the Companys
fiscal year ending July 31, 2010, the Company attains a certain debt service coverage ratio and
meets a net income requirement. Upon an event of default, the Revolving Note shall bear interest
at the daily three month LIBOR rate plus the Margin plus 3.00% per annum. As of January 31, 2010,
the variable interest rate at which the Revolving Note accrued interest was 3.75% and the Company
had approximately $33.1 million outstanding thereunder
The interest payable on the Companys revolving line of credit is based on variable interest
rates and is therefore affected by changes in the market interest rates. If interest rates on
variable debt rose .375 percentage points (a 10% change from the interest rate as of January 31,
2010), assuming no change in the Companys outstanding balance under the line of credit
(approximately $33.1 million as of January 31, 2010), the Companys annualized income before taxes
and cash flows from operating activities would decline by approximately $0.1 million.
ITEM 4T: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the Exchange Act)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i)
accumulated and communicated to Company management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures, and (ii) recorded, processed,
summarized and
24
Table of Contents
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules
and forms. Under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the
Company evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures, did not identify any material weaknesses,
and believes that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at January 31, 2010.
The Company intends to continue to monitor its disclosure controls and procedures, and if
further improvements or enhancements are identified, the Company will take steps to implement such
improvements or enhancements. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that
such design will succeed in achieving its stated objective under all potential future conditions,
regardless of how remote. However, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Companys Chief
Financial Officer believe the Companys disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable
assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended January 31, 2010, there were no significant changes in our internal
control over financial reporting that have materially affected or that are reasonably likely to
affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company has confidence in its internal controls and procedures. Nevertheless, the
Companys management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) believes
that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable
assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system
are met, and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of
an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation
in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company previously reported the litigation with IVESCO Holdings, LLC in its Form 10-Q for
the period ended April 30, 2009 and its Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009. In addition
to IVESCO litigation, the Company is subject to claims and other actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. Some of these claims and actions may result in lawsuits where the Company is a
defendant. Management believes that the ultimate obligations, if any, which may result from
unfavorable outcomes of such lawsuits, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and such obligations, if any, would be
adequately covered by insurance.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in the
Companys Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009
ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
There is no established public trading market for the Companys common stock. Ownership of the
Companys stock is limited to licensed, practicing veterinarians or any entity established to
deliver veterinary services and/or products in which all medical decisions are made by licensed
veterinarians such as a partnership or corporation. Each veterinarian shareholder is limited to
ownership of one share of stock, which is purchased at the fixed price of $3,000. The share of
stock may not be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred, except back to the
25
Table of Contents
Company at the same $3,000 price. On January 31, 2010, there were 1,916 record holders of the
Companys common stock.
Shareholders have no preemptive rights or rights to convert their common stock into any other
securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock other
than optional redemption by the Company set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The
Company does not have any preferred stock authorized and has not issued any stock options, stock
option plans, warrants, or other outstanding rights or entitlements to common stock.
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on the common stock. The Company
intends to retain any future earnings for funding growth of the Companys business and therefore
does not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company has not
sold any common stock which was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within
the past three fiscal years ended July 31, 2009.
Since the Companys inception, each shareholder has been entitled to request that his, her, or
its share be redeemed in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Pursuant to the
Articles of Incorporation, the Company may also repurchase shares of any shareholder who is no
longer a veterinarian or veterinary clinic or owes money to the Company and fails to make required
payments. In any of these situations, the Company may, but is not obligated to repurchase the
stock. The redemption amount is the original purchase price of the stock paid by the shareholder.
There is no expiration date for repurchase.
During the quarter ended January 31, 2010, the Company repurchased 16 shares of its common
stock as set forth in the following table:

Entry into a Material Agreement
