ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

Life  Sciences  Research,  Inc.  ("LSR")  and  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the
"Company")  is a  global  contract  research  organization,  offering  worldwide
pre-clinical and non-clinical  testing for biological safety evaluation research
services to pharmaceutical,  biotechnology, agrochemical and industrial chemical
companies.  The Company  serves the rapidly  evolving  regulatory and commercial
requirements to perform safety evaluations on new  pharmaceutical  compounds and
chemical  compounds  contained  within the products that humans use, eat and are
otherwise  exposed  to.  In  addition,  the  Company  tests  the  effect of such
compounds on the  environment and also performs work on assessing the safety and
efficacy of veterinary products.

As the  Company  continues  to  build  on  improving  fundamentals,  we have the
following strategy and goals:

o    To grow to significant  profitability and improved return on investment for
     our shareholders.
o    To be appreciated as the listening,  understanding  and reliable partner in
     creative  compound  development  and safety  assessment and to be the first
     choice for the industries we serve.
o    To provide our employees with the opportunity for individual development in
     a caring, rewarding and safe working environment.
o    To be recognized positively in the local communities in which we operate.

LSR was incorporated on July 19, 2001 as a Maryland  corporation.  It was formed
specifically  for the  purpose  of making a  recommended  all share  offer  (the
"Offer") for Life  Sciences  Research  Ltd (LSR Ltd)  formerly  Huntingdon  Life
Sciences  Group plc  ("Huntingdon").  The Offer was made on October 16, 2001 and
was  declared  unconditional  on January 10,  2002,  at which time LSR  acquired
approximately  89% of the outstanding  ordinary shares of Huntingdon in exchange
for  approximately 5.3 million shares of LSR Voting Common Stock. The subsequent
offer period expired on February 7, 2002, by which time approximately 92% of the
outstanding  ordinary  shares had been offered for  exchange.  LSR completed its
compulsory purchase under UK law of the remaining outstanding ordinary shares of
Huntingdon  on March 26,  2002 at which time  Huntingdon  became a wholly  owned
subsidiary of LSR, in exchange for a total of  approximately  5.9 million shares
of LSR Voting Common Stock (the "Exchange Offer").

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"),
the  Company  whose  stockholders  retain the  majority  interest  in a combined
business must be treated as the acquirer for accounting  purposes.  Accordingly,
the  Exchange  Offer is accounted  for as a reverse  acquisition  for  financial
reporting purposes.  The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction and
the net assets of Huntingdon  (the  accounting  acquirer) are carried forward to
LSR (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before
the combination.  Although Huntingdon was deemed to be the acquiring corporation
for financial accounting and reporting purposes,  the legal status of LSR as the
surviving corporation does not change. The relevant acquisition process utilizes
the capital  structure of LSR and the assets and  liabilities  of Huntingdon are
recorded  at  historical  cost.  The equity of LSR is the  historical  equity of
Huntingdon, retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares issued in the
Exchange Offer.

LSR's executive office is based at the Princeton  Research Center in New Jersey,
US.

HISTORY

Huntingdon was originally  incorporated in the UK in 1951 as a limited liability
company  to  provide  contract  research  services  to  the  UK  pharmaceutical,
agrochemical  and food  industries.  In 1964 it was  acquired by the US company,
Becton Dickinson. Over the next 20 years it successfully established itself as a
leading  CRO with  business  across a number  of  sectors  and with a number  of
leading pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies. In April 1983, Huntingdon was
re-registered  as a public  limited  company  and in 1988 it was  floated on the
London Stock Exchange. In early 1989 Huntingdon obtained a listing for its ADR's
on the New York Stock Exchange.

In  1995,  it  acquired  the  toxicology   business  of  APBI,   which  included
laboratories near Princeton, New Jersey and Newcastle and Eye, Suffolk in the UK
for a total  consideration  of $43 million.  Immediately upon  acquisition,  the
toxicology  business  of  APBI in the UK was  merged  with  that  of  Huntingdon
Research  Center Limited and the name of that company changed to Huntingdon Life
Sciences Limited.  The US business acquired operates as Huntingdon Life Sciences
Inc.

In the first half of 1997,  allegations  were made  relating  to animal care and
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) against  Huntingdon's  operating  subsidiaries in
the UK and US. Those allegations and the UK Government's subsequent statement in
the House of Commons in July 1997 about its investigation into those allegations
caused  the  cancellation  of  booked  orders  and  a  decline  in  new  orders.
Significant trading losses and cash outflows resulted during the period from mid
1997 through 1998. Given the medium to long term element of many of Huntingdon's
activities  and the  reluctance  of clients to place new work until its finances
were stabilized,  Huntingdon required a substantial injection of finance to both
initially restore confidence and then to fund operations during the period until
it returned to profitability.

On September 2, 1998 a group of new investors  subscribed (pound)15 million ($25
million)  for 120  million  ordinary  shares  while  existing  shareholders  and
institutional  investors  took up a  further  57  million  shares,  contributing
(pound)7.1  million ($11.8 million).  After expenses of (pound)1.7 million ($2.9
million), the issue of shares raised (pound)20.4 million ($33.9 million). On the
same date  Huntingdon's  bankers  agreed to confirm  Huntingdon's  facilities at
(pound)24.5  million  ($40.8  million) until August 31, 2000 and this amount was
fully drawn  down.  This debt was  refinanced  on January 20, 2001 by means of a
loan from HLSF LLC, a subsidiary  company of the Stephens  Group Inc., a related
party at the time,  which has since  transferred  the debt to an unrelated third
party. It is now repayable on June 30, 2006.

Since the  involvement of the new investor  group in 1998, the management  team,
led by Brian Cass,  believes  that LSR has  successfully  addressed  many of the
Company's past difficulties. Relationships with customers have been restored and
sales are growing at an encouraging rate.

In  November  1999,  a new so  called  "animal  rights"  group  known  as  "Stop
Huntingdon  Animal  Cruelty"  (SHAC) was formed in the UK with Huntingdon as its
target.  Since then, activists in both the UK and the US have continued focusing
on  Huntingdon  (now  LSR),  its  staff  and  directors,  but  also  many  other
stakeholders in the business,  including  shareholders,  financial institutions,
suppliers and customers. For further details see Other Information Pertaining to
the Company - Animal Rights Activism, below.

In October 2001, LSR commenced the Offer for Huntingdon,  which was completed in
March 2002 with Huntingdon becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of LSR. The effect
of the Offer was to re-domicile  Huntingdon's  corporate and legal  existence to
the US. As a US company  incorporated  in  Maryland,  LSR  benefits  from a more
hospitable  corporate  environment,  including corporate  governance and privacy
rules  and  regulations  that  benefit  LSR  security  holders.   Moreover,  the
investment  community in the US is more familiar  with the CRO  industry,  since
most publicly traded CRO's are domiciled in the US. Additionally,  the Companies
responsible  for  developing  new  pharmaceutical,  agrochemical  and industrial
compounds are increasingly concentrated in the US and as a result, the Company's
US operations have enjoyed substantial growth in the last few years.

In March 2002, LSR completed a private  placement of  approximately  5.1 million
shares of Voting  Common  Stock at a per share  subscription  price of $1.50 per
share.

In April 2002,  LSR began  trading  its common  stock on the US Over the Counter
Bulletin Board (OTCBB).

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company provides pre-clinical and non-clinical  biological safety evaluation
research services to most of the world's leading pharmaceutical,  biotechnology,
agrochemical  and  industrial  chemical  companies.  The  purpose of this safety
evaluation is to identify risks to humans,  animals or the environment resulting
from the use or  manufacture  of a wide range of chemicals,  which are essential
components of our clients' products. The Company's services are designed to meet
the regulatory requirements of governments around the world.

The Company's aim is to develop its business  within these markets,  principally
through organic growth.  In doing so, the Company expects to benefit from strong
drug  pipelines  in  the  pharmaceutical   industry,  a  growing  trend  towards
outsourcing  as clients focus more internal  resources on research in the search
for new compounds,  and the growing amount of legislation  concerning the safety
and environmental impact of agrochemicals and industrial chemicals.

The Company's sales and marketing functions are specifically focused on two main
groups, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical customers. As much of the research
activity  conducted  for  these two  customer  groups is  similar,  the  Company
believes it is appropriate, operationally, to view this as one business.

                              ----------------------------------------------------------------------

</TABLE>

The Company  performs  non-clinical  testing in support of the drug  development
process.   This  primarily   consists  of  pre-clinical   outsourcing  from  the
pharmaceutical  industry,  as well as further  longer term  non-clinical  safety
testing  that is  performed  in  parallel  to human  clinical  testing  (such as
carcinogenicity   studies   and  safety   studies   relating   to   reproductive
implications).  Essentially  all of  this  work  is  performed  as a  result  of
regulatory  requirements  that seek to minimize  the risks  associated  with the
ultimate  testing and use of these  compounds  in humans.  Pre-clinical  testing
includes  studies  conducted  prior to the compound's  exposure to humans.  This
helps to  evaluate  both how the drug  affects  the body as well as how the body
affects the drug.  Utilizing advanced laboratory and toxicological  evaluations,
this work helps assess safe and appropriate dose regimens. Non-clinical testing,
which includes  longer term studies often conducted  concurrently  with clinical
(human)  testing,  can focus on identifying  and avoiding the longer term cancer
implications  of exposure to the  compound,  or  relating  to the  potential  of
possible  reproductive   implications.   Approximately   three-quarters  of  the
Company's orders are derived from this pharmaceutical  sector. The Company views
its non-clinical market as extending to "proof of concept" in man (Phase 2A) and
to analytical chemistry support for clinical trials. Since 1999, the Company has
had  collaborative  relationships  with a number of Phase I clinical trial units
and offers  centralized  clinical  laboratory  services  in support of  clinical
trials.

The  Company  has also  actively  pursued  opportunities  to extend its range of
capabilities  supporting late stage drug  discovery,  focused around invitro and
invivo models for lead candidate drug  characterization  and optimization.  This
growing range of biological services is intended to position the Company to take
advantage  of the  knowledge  arising  from  the  Human  Genome  Project  as the
identification  of new  molecular  disease  targets is  expected  to lead to the
development  of  increased  numbers of  potential  therapies  which will require
evaluation.

The outsourced market for the late stage clinical trials (Phase 3 and beyond) is
also relevant to the Company.  While the Company does not preclude entering this
market in the future,  it has no plan to do so in the foreseeable  future, as it
is a very  different  business and one in which a number of major  companies are
already firmly established.

Market Growth

It is estimated that the pharmaceutical industry annual research and development
(R & D)  spending  is over $40 billion per year and is growing at around 10% per
annum.  Approximately  one  quarter  of this is devoted  solely to  pre-clinical
testing.  The Company believes that  approximately  20-25% of this is outsourced
which means that the Company is today  competing  in a market  which  exceeds $2
billion.  It is widely believed that the percent, as well as the absolute dollar
that is outsourced should continue to grow.

The market  for these  services  is  growing,  among  other  things,  due to the
following:

o    New drug  discovery  is  growing  fueled  by new  technologies  and  strong
     profits. Use of techniques like combinatorial chemistry and high throughput
     screening are dramatically  increasing the efficiency and  effectiveness of
     the discovery process for new molecules.

o    Preclinical development services should experience the higher growth first,
     as they are at the front end to receive  the  anticipated  wave of new drug
     candidates generated by advances in drug discovery technologies.

o    The need to  replace  earnings  from  drugs  coming  off  patent is driving
     increases in the number of drugs being put into development.

o    It is estimated there has been a 50% increase in the numbers of projects in
     the R & D pipeline versus five years ago.

o    There is also a growing trend towards the  outsourcing of development  work
     as clients focus more internal resource on discovery research in the search
     for new lead compounds.

o    The biotechnology  industry has become a significant source of business for
     the Company.  The number of drugs produced by the  biotechnology  industry,
     which  require US Food and Drug  Administration  (FDA)  approval  has grown
     substantially  over the past  decade.  Many  biotechnology  companies  have
     strategically  chosen  not to invest  in asset  intensive  development  and
     regulatory safety evaluation,  but rather to outsource major areas of R & D
     and utilize contract research organizations to perform these services. This
     frees them from the inefficient utilization of in-house capabilities due to
     their sporadic and varied demand for these capabilities.

o    The process of  consolidation  within the  pharmaceutical  industry is also
     accelerating  the move  towards  outsourcing.  While there is a  short-term
     negative impact from mergers with development  pipelines being rationalized
     and a focus on integration rather than development,  longer-term  resources
     are  increasingly  invested in in-house  facilities  for discovery and lead
     optimization rather than development and regulatory safety evaluation.  The
     outsourcing  of  development  and safety  evaluation is the Company's  core
     business.

As a result of these,  amongst  other  factors,  it is believed that the overall
market for  outsourced  services is  estimated  to be growing at a rate at least
equal  to  the  growth  of  research   and   development   expenditure   by  the
pharmaceutical industry.

Non-Pharmaceuticals

The  Company  has  historically  generated  one third or more of its orders from
safety  and  efficacy  testing of  compounds  for the  agrochemical,  industrial
chemical,  and veterinary and food  industries.  During 2003  non-pharmaceutical
orders were one quarter of the total,  this decreasing  share of our business is
predicted to continue.  The work involved has many  similarities  and often uses
many of the same  facilities,  equipment,  and  scientific  disciplines to those
employed in pre-clinical testing of pharmaceutical compounds.

The Company's business in these areas is again driven by governmental regulatory
requirements.  The Company's  services  address  safety  concerns  surrounding a
diverse range of products,  spanning such areas as  agricultural  herbicides and
other pesticides, medical devices, veterinary medicines, and specialty chemicals
used  in the  manufacture  of  pharmaceutical  intermediates,  and  manufactured
foodstuffs  and  products.  The Company  believes it is a clear market leader in
programs  designed to assess the safety,  environmental  impact and  efficacy of
agricultural chemicals as well as in programs to take new specialty chemicals to
market.

Market Growth

It is estimated that the worldwide market for outsourced  contract research from
non-pharmaceutical  industries  is  around  $300  million.  The  growth  in  the
non-pharmaceutical  business  is  driven  both  by  the  introduction  of  novel
compounds,  this number has  decreased  in recent years in response to increased
legislation concerning the safety and environmental impact of existing products.

The Company  believes  that a number of market  segments  included in this broad
area of business have the potential for some growth in coming years,  due to the
following:

o    Introduction of new testing requirements for `high production volume' (HPV)
     chemical products in the US and a similar program in Europe (REACH).

o    Increasing  scrutiny of any compound  which is used in the  manufacture  of
     products to which members of the public,  especially children,  are exposed
     either infrequently or on a day-to-day basis, (e.g.  phthalates used in the
     plastic of children's toys).

o    More stringent regulations affecting compounds, which have the potential to
     adversely affect the environment, (e.g. biocides and endocrine disrupters).

o    Growth in  concerns  over food  safety,  (e.g.  additives  and  genetically
     modified foods, and the introduction of `nutraceuticals').

Safety  testing in these  industries  is also more likely to be  outsourced  as,
unlike the pharmaceutical  industry, fewer companies have comprehensive internal
laboratory  facilities.  While  overall R & D is not  growing,  we believe  that
increased outsourcing could provide business opportunities in this market.

Customers

The  Company  offers  worldwide   pre-clinical  and  non-clinical   testing  for
biological safety evaluation research services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology,
agrochemical  and industrial  chemical  companies.  In 2003 the Company received
orders from companies  ranging from the largest in their industries to small and
start-up  organizations.  25 clients  placed  over $1 million of orders with the
Company and the ten largest clients accounted for approximately 45% of orders.

For net revenues  from  clients,  assets  attributable  to each of the Company's
business  segments,  other segment  information  and a geographical  analysis of
revenues from clients (based on the location of the client) for each of the last
three fiscal years, see note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Backlog

The majority of the  Company's  net revenues are earned under  contracts,  which
generally range in duration from a few months to three years. Revenue from these
contracts is generally  recognized over the term of the contract as services are
rendered.  The  Company  maintains  an order  backlog to track  anticipated  net
revenues for work that has yet to be earned.  Aggregate  backlog at December 31,
2003 was $93.5 million compared to $95 million at December 31, 2002.

COMPETITION

Competition in both the  pharmaceutical and  non-pharmaceutical  market segments
ranges from the in-house R&D divisions of large pharmaceutical, agrochemical and
industrial chemical companies who perform their own safety assessments, to "full
service"  providers - contract  research  organizations  like LSR, who provide a
full  range of  services  to the  industries  (such as Covance  Inc.,  Inveresk,
Quintiles Transnational Corp., Charles River Laboratories  International,  Inc.)
and  "niche"  suppliers  focusing on specific  services or  industries  (such as
Bioreliance Corporation).

GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF OPERATIONS

Regulatory agencies

Since the services  provided by the Company are used to support  pharmaceutical,
biotechnological,  chemical or agrochemical product approval  applications,  its
laboratories are subject to both formal and informal  inspections by appropriate
regulatory  and  supervisory  authorities,  as well as by  representatives  from
client  companies.  The  Company  is  regularly  inspected  by US,  Japan and UK
governmental  agencies  because of the number and complexities of the studies it
undertakes.  In 1979, the US Food and Drug Administration  (FDA) promulgated the
Good Laboratory  Practice (GLP) regulations,  defining the standards under which
biological safety evaluations are to be conducted.  Other governmental  agencies
such as the  Environmental  Protection  Agency (EPA),  the Japanese  Ministry Of
Health  and  Welfare,  the  Japanese  Ministry  of  Agriculture,   Forestry  and
Fisheries,    and   the   UK    Department    of   Health,    have    introduced
compliance-monitoring  programs  with  similar  GLP  standards.  During 2003 the
Company in the UK had one GLP, one Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and one Official
Recognition  Inspection (for pesticide efficacy);  and in the US one GLP and one
FDA  Bioequivalence  inspection.  The Company has had numerous such  inspections
since 1995.

The Company's laboratory in the US is subject to the United States Department of
Agriculture  (USDA)  Animal  Welfare  Regulations  (Title  9,  Code  of  Federal
Regulations,  Subchapter  A). The  laboratory  is  regularly  inspected  by USDA
officials for compliance with these  regulations.  Compliance is assured through
an  Institutional  Animal Care and Use Committee,  comprising staff from a broad
range of disciplines within the Company and including  external  representation.
Furthermore,  in the US there is a  voluntary  certification  program  run by an
independent and  internationally  recognized  organization,  the Association for
Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory  Animal Care (AAALAC).  The Company's
laboratories  in both  the US and UK are  accredited  under  this  program.  The
Company's  pre-clinical  services  are  subject to  industry  standards  for the
conduct of research and development studies that are embodied in the regulations
for GLP.  The FDA and other  regulatory  authorities  require  the test  results
submitted to such  authorities be based on studies  conducted in accordance with
GLP. The Company must also maintain reports for each study for specified periods
for auditing by the study sponsor and by FDA or other regulatory authorities.

The  Company's  operations  in the UK are  regulated by the Animals  (Scientific
Procedures)  Act 1986.  This  legislation,  administered  by the UK Home Office,
provides  for the control of  scientific  procedures  carried out on animals and
regulation   of  their   environment.   Personal   licenses   (the  Company  has
approximately  250  licensees) are issued by the UK Home Office to personnel who
are competent to perform  regulated  procedures and each program of work must be
authorized  in advance by a Project  Licensee.  Premises  where  procedures  are
carried  out  must  also  be  formally   designated   by  the  UK  Home  Office.
Consultations  and  inspections  are  regularly  undertaken  in order to  ensure
continued  compliance with regulatory and legislative  requirements.  Typically,
the Company has 20 such inspections annually.

At each of its  research  centers,  the  Company  ensures  the  availability  of
suitably experienced and qualified veterinary staff backed by a 24-hour call out
system.

COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

While the Company  conducts its  business to comply with  certain  environmental
regulations,  compliance with such regulations does not impact  significantly on
its earnings or competitive  position.  Management  believes that its operations
are  currently  in  material   compliance  with  all  applicable   environmental
regulations.

OTHER INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE COMPANY

Human Resources

The  Company's  most  important  resource is its people.  They have  created the
Company's knowledge base, its expertise and its excellent scientific reputation.
Scientists from the Company are represented at the highest levels in several US,
UK and international  committees on safety and toxicity  testing.  Several staff
members are  considered  leaders in their  respective  fields.  They  frequently
lecture at  scientific  seminars and  regularly  publish  articles in scientific
journals. This recognition has resulted in frequent assignments from clients for
consultation  services.  Some of the  Company's  staff  serve by  invitation  or
election on a number of scientific and industrial  advisory panels and groups of
certain  organizations  and agencies such as the FDA, the EPA, the UK Department
of Health, and the World Health Organization.

To ensure that this  experience  and  expertise is  transmitted  throughout  the
organization, the Company conducts training programs. For example, the Company's
Introductory and Advanced Graduate Training Programs train graduate staff in all
phases  of  toxicology.  Also,  in  conjunction  with the  Institute  of  Animal
Technology,  the  Company  maintains  what it  believes to be one of the largest
animal   technician   training  programs  in  the  world.  The  Company  employs
approximately 250 licensed personnel.

The number of  employees  in the Company at  December  31, 2003 and 2002 were as
follows:

                                     2003             2002

US ...................                223              224

Management and Labor Relations

The Company's  labor force is non-union and there has never been any  disruption
of the business through strikes or other employee action.  The Company regularly
reviews its pay and benefits  packages and  believes  that its labor  relations,
policies and practices and management  structure are  appropriate to support its
competitive position.

Acquisition of Huntingdon Life Sciences KK (HLS KK)

On July 1, 2003, the remaining 50% of the shares in HLS KK, not previously owned
by  Huntingdon,  was  purchased,  resulting  in HLS KK  becoming a wholly  owned
subsidiary  of  Huntingdon.  The  purchase  price is  payable  over a three year
period,  and is equal to the  greater of (a) $1  million  or (b) the  commission
which would have been paid if the  purchase had not happened at rates of between
2.5% and 4.5% of  billings  generated.  Payments  during  that three year period
shall be made at the rate which had been in effect for commissions  prior to the
acquisition,  and is payable  semi-annually.  Commissions  paid to the  previous
owner of the  acquired  50% of HLS KK during the 12 months to June 30, 2003 were
$0.3 million.

Prior to this date,  the shares  owned by  Huntingdon  in HLS KK were held as an
investment,  as the  day to day  control  of  HLS KK was  not  exercised  by the
Company.  The  Company's  share  of the  profits  of HLS KK  from  the  date  of
incorporation,  January 2, 1996, to June 30, 2003 of $208,000 was  recognized in
the third quarter of 2003.

Research and Development

In addition to  experience  gained  through  research  activities  performed for
clients,  the Company  engages in  research in order to respond to the  changing
needs of clients and to maintain  competitiveness within the industries in which
it operates.  Most of the research  undertaken,  however, is an inherent part of
the research carried out on behalf of clients in completing  studies and as such
it is not identified separately.

Know-how and Patents

The Company  believes that its  proprietary  know-how plays an important role in
the success of its business.  Where the Company considers it appropriate,  steps
are  taken to  protect  its  know-how  through  confidentiality  agreements  and
protection  through  registration  of title or use.  However  the Company has no
patents, trademarks,  licenses, franchises or concessions which are material and
upon which any of the services offered is dependent.

Quality Assurance

The Company maintains extensive quality assurance  programs,  designed to ensure
that all testing  programs  meet client  requirements,  as well as all  relevant
codes,  standards  and  regulations.   Based  on  a  Master  Schedule,  periodic
inspections are conducted as testing  programs are performed to assure adherence
to  project  specifications  or  protocols  and final  reports  are  extensively
inspected to ensure consistency with data collected.

Animal Rights Activism

In  parallel   with  an  increase  in  so  called   "animal   rights"   activity
internationally  targeting  organizations  in the  CRO,  academic,  and  medical
research  community,  a new campaign  group (Stop  Huntingdon  Animal Cruelty or
SHAC) was formed in the UK during  November 1999 with  Huntingdon as its target.
SHAC's broad aim is to end all animal research, while its immediate and publicly
stated goal at that time was to "shut HLS down within three years". During 2000,
this  campaign  intensified  with  any  stakeholder  in  Huntingdon  becoming  a
potential  target;  this included staff,  directors,  institutional and personal
shareholders,   customers,  financial  institutions  and  other  suppliers.  The
protests  took  many  forms,  including  demonstrations  outside  the  Company's
facilities and in local towns;  distribution of propaganda;  abuse, intimidation
and threats directed at many of the stakeholders listed above; and in some cases
violence.

During  2001 and 2002 the  incidents  of violent  protest in the UK  appeared to
partly diminish. However, activists increased the focus of protest activities on
the  Company's  financial  institutions,  in  unsuccessful  attempts  to deprive
Huntingdon of its bank financing and to defeat the re-domiciling  transaction to
the US.  During  the  same  period,  in  large  part  due to the  successful  US
re-domiciling, animal rights activities of SHAC and the other groups expanded to
the US, with a focus on the Company's  stakeholders and suspected  stakeholders,
market makers and senior staff and directors.

To counter this "animal rights" campaign,  the Company has adopted a strategy of
openness and direct  cooperation  with all its  stakeholders,  the media and the
local communities.  The Company has taken every opportunity to promote the value
of the work it does in helping its customers  bring to market safe and effective
products.  Members of the media, schools,  local groups and national bodies have
visited the Company's facilities, toured the animal facilities and laboratories,
and talked with staff. These visitors have been consistently  impressed with the
Company's  ethics,  standards of animal welfare and the  professionalism  of its
staff.  As  a  consequence  of  the  Company's  high  profile  public  relations
activities and the  irrationality  of the "animal  rights"  messages,  the media
coverage  has  become  increasingly  positive  throughout  the  duration  of the
campaign,  particularly  in the US where the  media  coverage  has  consistently
condemned the actions of the SHAC campaign.

As a result of and in conjunction  with the Company's  leadership on this issue,
there has been a marked  increase  in  communication  campaigns  to educate  the
general population about the invaluable  benefits of animal based research,  the
commitment to and progress in development of non-animal based alternatives,  and
the high  standard  of  animal  welfare  in which  this work is  conducted.  Our
clients'   recognition  for  our  scientific  and  professional   integrity  and
leadership  was evident in the  granting in October 2001 of the  prestigious  UK
Pharma  Industry  Individual  Achievement  Award to Brian  Cass,  the  Company's
President and Managing  Director.  In June 2002, in further  recognition  of his
contribution to science and professional achievements, Mr. Cass was appointed as
a Commander in the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE).  The highly
prestigious CBE is awarded on merit, for exceptional  achievement or service; it
is  recommended  by the Prime  Minister  of England  but decided by the Queen of
England.

In the UK the  Company  has  successfully  lobbied  politicians  and the British
parliament,   with  great  support  from  industry  trade  bodies  such  as  the
Association of the British  Pharmaceutical  Industry,  Bioindustry  Association,
Chemical  Industry  Association and Research Defence Society.  As a result,  the
British  Government has made very positive  statements in support of the Company
and has been  extremely  critical of the illegal  acts of some  "animal  rights"
supporters.  The Government has introduced  legislation to offer more protection
to those targeted and is encouraging  the police and courts to ensure the law is
enforced.  This national  initiative  continues to develop,  particularly as the
government  and police deal with  protecting  other animal rights targets in the
UK, including academic institutions.

In April  2003 the  Company  obtained  from the  London  High Court of Justice a
groundbreaking legal injunction protecting its employees against harassment from
SHAC and  similar  animal  rights  activists.  The  order,  obtained  under  the
Protection from Harassment Act, bans protesters from approaching within 50 yards
of employees homes and sets up similar  exclusion zones around the Company's two
UK  research  centers.  Several  months  later,  a group of five large  Japanese
companies  followed a similar  course in obtaining  protective  injunctions  for
their employees who were being harassed.

Although the animal rights  movement is more recent and less developed in the US
and  appears  to enjoy  less  public  support  than in the UK,  the  Company  is
addressing it proactively  with actions  similar to those it has utilized in the
UK.  These  steps  include  a  strategy  of  openness  and  media   cooperation;
legislative  and regulatory  lobbying in association  with industry trade bodies
such as Americans for Medical  Progress,  National  Association  for  Biomedical
Research and the Foundation for Biomedical Research; and legal actions including
close cooperation with law enforcement  authorities at all levels.  For example,
following  incidents  of vandalism at or  following  home  protests  against the
Company's US employees,  the Company  obtained orders of the New Jersey Superior
Court,  the New York Supreme  Court and the  California  Supreme  Court  placing
restrictions  on home protests by animal  rights  activists as well as limits on
the scope of protests at the Company's  Princeton Research Center.  During 2002,
criminal  indictments  were brought against SHAC extremists in New York City and
Boston. In the New York prosecution, felony convictions, including prison terms,
have been handed down. In Washington  D.C.,  legislation was enacted in May 2002
which  significantly   increased  the  penalties  under  the  Animal  Enterprise
Terrorism Act for acts of vandalism  against  medical  research and animal based
research facilities.

Management  recognizes  that there has long been,  and  expects  that there will
continue to be,  individuals  with strong views that animals  should not be used
under any  circumstances  for the  betterment of humanity,  including for animal
based research. Regardless of whether there continues to be a direct impact from
this political issue on the Company's business, the Company remains committed to
continuing its initiatives to educate the community to the value of animal based
medical  research,  to advancing the important  strides our industry has made in
animal  welfare,  and to supporting with state of the art science and techniques
our  clients'  desire  to  maximize  the  safety of vital  new  compounds  being
developed for the betterment of society.

Equity Incentive Plans

LSR 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the "LSR 2001 Equity Incentive Plan")

The LSR Board has adopted the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive  Plan.  Adoption of the
LSR 2001  Equity  Incentive  Plan  enables LSR to use stock  options  (and other
stock-based  awards) as a means to attract,  retain and motivate key  personnel.
This stock option plan was  approved by the  shareholders  of LSR,  prior to the
acquisition of Huntingdon.

Awards  under the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive  Plan may be granted by a committee
designated  by the LSR  Board  pursuant  to the  terms  of the LSR  2001  Equity
Incentive  Plan and may  include:  (i) options to purchase  shares of LSR Voting
Common Stock,  including  incentive stock options ("ISOs"),  non-qualified stock
options or both; (ii) stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), whether in conjunction
with  the  grant  of  stock  options  or  independent  of such  grant,  or stock
appreciation  rights  that  are only  exercisable  in the  event of a change  in
control or upon other events;  (iii)  restricted stock consisting of shares that
are subject to  forfeiture  based on the  failure to satisfy  employment-related
restrictions;  (iv) deferred stock,  representing the right to receive shares of
stock in the future;  (v) bonus  stock and awards in lieu of cash  compensation;
(vi) dividend equivalents,  consisting of a right to receive cash, other awards,
or other  property  equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified
number of shares of LSR Voting Common Stock or other periodic payments; or (vii)
other awards not  otherwise  provided for, the value of which are based in whole
or in part upon the value of the LSR Voting Common Stock.  Awards  granted under
the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive Plan are generally not assignable or transferable
except pursuant to a will and by operation of law.

The flexible terms of the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive Plan are intended to, among
other things, permit the stock option committee to impose performance conditions
with respect to any award,  thereby  requiring  forfeiture of all or part of any
award  if   performance   objectives   are  not  met  or  linking  the  time  of
exercisability  or  settlement  of an award  to the  attainment  of  performance
conditions.  For awards intended to qualify as "performance-based  compensation"
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the United States Internal  Revenue Code
such  performance  objectives  shall be based  solely  on (i)  annual  return on
capital;  (ii) annual  earnings or earnings  per share;  (iii)  annual cash flow
provided by operations; (iv) changes in annual revenues; (v) stock price; and/or
(vi) strategic business criteria,  consisting of one or more objectives based on
meeting specified revenue,  market  penetration,  geographic  business expansion
goals, cost targets, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.

LSR's stock option  committee,  which  administers the 2001 LSR Equity Incentive
Plan,  has the  authority,  among other  things,  to: (i) select the  directors,
officers and other  employees and  independent  contractors  entitled to receive
awards under the 2001 LSR Equity  Incentive  Plan;  (ii)  determine  the form of
awards,  or combinations of awards,  and whether such awards are to operate on a
tandem basis or in conjunction with other awards;  (iii) determine the number of
shares of LSR Voting  Common Stock or units or rights  covered by an award;  and
(iv) determine the terms and conditions of any awards granted under the 2001 LSR
Equity  Incentive Plan,  including any  restrictions or limitations on transfer,
any vesting schedules or the acceleration of vesting  schedules,  any forfeiture
provision or waiver of the same and including any terms and conditions necessary
or desirable to ensure the optimal tax result for  participating  personnel  and
the  Company  including  by way of example to ensure that there is no tax on the
grant of the rights and that such tax only  arises on the  exercise of rights or
otherwise when the LSR Voting Common Stock  unconditionally  vests and is at the
disposal of such participating  personnel. The exercise price at which shares of
LSR Voting Common Stock may be purchased  pursuant to the grant of stock options
under the 2001 LSR  Equity  Incentive  Plan is to be  determined  by the  option
committee at the time of grant in its discretion,  which discretion includes the
ability  to set an  exercise  price that is below the fair  market  value of the
shares of LSR Voting Common Stock covered by such grant at the time of grant.

The  number  of  shares  of LSR  Voting  Common  Stock  that may be  subject  to
outstanding  awards granted under the 2001 LSR Equity Incentive Plan (determined
immediately  after the grant of any  award)  may not  exceed 20  percent  of the
aggregate number of shares of LSR Voting Common Stock then outstanding.

The  2001  LSR  Equity  Incentive  Plan  may  be  amended,  altered,  suspended,
discontinued,  or  terminated  by  the  LSR  Board  without  LSR  Voting  Common
Stockholder  approval  unless such  approval is required by law or regulation or
under the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which LSR
Voting  Common  Stock  is  then  listed  or  quoted.  Thus,  LSR  Voting  Common
Stockholder  approval will not  necessarily  be required for  amendments,  which
might  increase the cost of the plan or broaden  eligibility.  LSR Voting Common
Stockholder approval will not be deemed to be required under laws or regulations
that condition favorable tax treatment on such approval,  although the LSR Board
may,  in its  discretion,  seek LSR Voting  Common  Stockholder  approval in any
circumstances in which it deems such approval advisable.

The LSR Board has designated the Compensation Committee of the Board to serve as

Plan on March 1, 2002 to certain directors and key employees at the time.

Huntingdon Life Sciences Group plc Stock Option Plans

Huntingdon  Life  Sciences  Group plc issued  options prior to December 31, 1997
pursuant to several stock option plans. However, the ability to exercise options
under all such  Huntingdon  plans  lapsed on March 26, 2002 in  connection  with
LSR's  acquisition of Huntingdon,  except for those granted under the Unapproved
Stock Option Plan (the  "Unapproved  Plan").  Under the  Unapproved  Plan,  some
options  technically remain outstanding.  However,  such options are exercisable
only for shares of  Huntingdon,  a 100% wholly owned  subsidiary  of LSR, and as
such are considered to have no value.

Other Option Grants

In addition to the options granted under the Share Option Plans, the Company has
issued options outside of the plans, pursuant to various employment,  consulting
and separation agreements.

Warrants

On October 9, 2001, on behalf of  Huntingdon,  LSR issued to Stephens Group Inc.
warrants  to  purchase  up to  704,425  shares of LSR Voting  Common  Stock at a
purchase  price of $1.50 per share.  Stephens Group Inc.  subsequently  sold the
warrants to independent  third parties.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any
time  and  will  expire  on  October  9,  2011.  These  warrants  arose  out  of
negotiations  regarding the  refinancing  of the bank loan by the Stephens Group
Inc.,  (Stephens'  Loan) in January 2001. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14,
Accounting for  Convertible  Debt and Debt Issued with Stock  Purchase  Warrants
("APB 14") the warrants  were recorded at their pro rata fair values in relation
to the proceeds received on the date of issuance.  As a result, the value of the
warrants was $430,000.

On June 11, 2002 LSR issued to FHP warrants to purchase up to 410,914  shares of
LSR Voting Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. The LSR warrants
are  exercisable  at any time and will expire on June 11, 2012.  These  warrants
arose out of  negotiations  regarding  the  provision  of the $2.9  million loan
facility made  available to the Company on September 25, 2000 by Mr. Baker,  who
controls FHP. In  accordance  with APB 14 the loan and warrants were recorded at
their pro rata fair values in relation to the  proceeds  received.  As a result,
the value of the warrants was $250,000.

On October 24, 2003, 100,000 warrants were issued at the market price on the day
of $2.05. These warrants were issued to an independent  consultant in connection
with financial advice.

A summary of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2003 is as follows:

                            Warrants       Exercise price      Expiration Date

Share purchase loan

Brian Cass,  President and Managing  Director of LSR, acquired 400,000 shares of
LSR Common Stock in the Private Placement. Mr. Cass acquired such shares through
the delivery of two promissory  notes.  Both such promissory  notes, each in the
amount of (pound)211,679 ($377,995), are due on March 28, 2007; bear interest at
the rate of 5% per annum;  and are secured by the  200,000  shares of LSR Common
Stock  purchased  with the  proceeds  of each  such  loan.  The due date of each
promissory note would be accelerated if Mr. Cass  voluntarily  resigned from his
employment  with LSR or had his employment  terminated.  Repayment of one of the
promissory notes will be made by automatic deduction of (pound)44,000  ($78,570)
per year from the (pound)66,000 ($117,856) per year pension contribution made by
the Company to a pension plan established by Mr. Cass. The other note is further
collateralized by the (pound)214,500 ($383,033) accrued in such pension account.
In addition,  one-third of any yearly bonus received by Mr. Cass will be used to
reduce  principal  of the  promissory  notes.  Total  amount  of this loan as of
December  31, 2003 is  (pound)370,082  ($660,855  at year-end  foreign  exchange
rates).

Julian  Griffiths,  a former  director  of LSR and current  Finance  Director of
Huntingdon, acquired 50,000 shares of LSR Common Stock in the Private Placement.
Mr. Griffiths  acquired such shares through the delivery of a promissory note in
the  principal  amount of  (pound)52,817  ($94,315),  which was due on March 28,
2007;  bore interest at the rate of 5% per annum;  and was secured by the 50,000
shares of LSR Common Stock purchased with the proceeds of the loan. Repayment of
the promissory  note was made by automatic  monthly  deduction of  (pound)943.56
($1,684.92) from Mr. Griffith's salary. This loan was paid in full in 2003.

Repurchase of equity securities

The Company did not repurchase any equity  securities  during the fourth quarter
of 2003.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following  should be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial
statements  of  LSR  as  presented  in  "Item  8,   Financial   Statements   and
Supplementary Data".

The Company is a global provider of pre-clinical and non-clinical safety testing
services to the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and industrial chemical industries.
The Company  provides those services under  contracts,  which may range from one
day to three years.  Income from these  contracts is  recognized as services are
rendered  towards the  preparation of the final report.  Contracts are generally
terminable  upon  notice by the client  with the client  being  responsible  for
reimbursing  the  Company  for  the  value  of  work  performed  to the  date of
cancellation  plus the value of work required to wind down a study on an orderly
basis.

The Company's business is characterized by high fixed costs, in particular staff
and facility related costs. Such a high proportion creates favorable  conditions
for the Company as excess capacity is utilized, such as has been the case during
the last three years.  However,  during  periods of declining  revenue,  careful
planning  is  required  to reduce  costs  without  impairing  revenue-generating
activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year ended December 31, 2003 compared with year ended December 31, 2002

Revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003 were $132.4 million, an increase of
14% on revenues of $115.7  million for the year ended  December  31,  2002.  The
underlying increase,  after adjusting for the impact of the movement in exchange
rates was 7%;  with the UK  showing  a 6%  increase  and the US a 12%  increase.
Orders for the year ended December 31, 2003, at constant exchange rates, were 8%
below the previous year. A weakening in the market for  toxicology  services due
to extra capacity coming on stream at competitors,  combined with a reduction in
non  pharmaceutical  work in Europe,  were  responsible  for this fall.  After a
record  growth in orders in 2002,  backlog at  December  31,  2002  amounted  to
approximately $95 million and this sustained the growth in revenues.

Cost of sales in the year  ended  December  31,  2003 were  $104.8  million,  an
increase of 12% on cost of sales of $93.4  million  for the year ended  December
31,  2002.  This  increase  was partly due to  exchange  rate  movements,  which
increased  cost of sales in the year by $6.4 million.  Without  these  movements
cost of sales would have  increased by 5%. In the UK cost  increases in sterling
were only 5%,  which is lower  than the  revenue  growth as  capacity  is filled
without the  corresponding  increase in fixed  costs.  The main  increase was in
labor costs reflecting increases in staffing.  Increases in costs in the US were
only 6%, mainly due to lower increases in direct materials costs compared to the
UK.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses rose by 15% to $20.9 million for
the year ended  December 31, 2003 from $18.1 million in the year ended  December
31, 2002. Of this  increase,  $1.3 million  related to exchange rate  movements.
This growth was due to a  continuation  of the  build-up  of the sales  activity
during the year and higher labor costs.

Other  operating  expenses in the year ended December 31, 2003 were $3.5 million
compared with $0 in the year ended December 31, 2002. In the year ended December
31, 2003,  other  operating  expenses  comprised $0.6 million in connection with
specific  legal actions  taken against  animal rights groups and $3.5 million in
respect of a restructuring of the business.  These  restructuring costs comprise
redundancy  (severance)  payments and asset write downs in the UK arising from a
consolidation  of  duplicate  facilities  in  response to changes in the market,
particularly  for non  pharmaceutical  services  and a  closure  of  excess  and
outdated toxicology capacity.  This restructuring will improve the efficiency of
the Company's  operations and not impair its ability to service  clients' needs.
These  expenses were offset by income of $0.2 million  representing  the Group's
share of an associated company's income (recognized following its acquisition in
June 2003) and $0.4  million  from the  recovery  of funds,  written off in 2001
following the bankruptcy of an exchange broker.

Interest  expense declined by 5% to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2003 from $6.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. The main reasons for
this  reduction  were the repayment of the former  Stephens loan and Baker loan,
and the  repurchase of $1.4 million  (principal  amount) of the bonds,  together
with lower  interest rates on the non-bank debt (down from an average in 2002 of
5.77% to 5.5% in 2003).

Other income of $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 comprised $4.8
million from the non-cash  foreign  exchange  remeasurement  gain on the Capital
Bonds  denominated  in US dollars  (the  functional  currency  of the  financing
subsidiary  that holds the bonds is UK sterling)  and a $0.6 million gain on the
partial  repurchase of the Capital  Bonds.  In the year ended  December 31, 2002
there was other income of $4.9 million which was comprised of a non-cash foreign
exchange  remeasurement  gain on the  Capital  Bonds of $5.0  million and a $1.2
million gain made on the partial repurchase of the Capital Bonds; offset against
a $1.3 million charge  relating to the  finalization of the 2001 US redomiciling
Exchange Offer.

Taxation benefit on income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1.1 million
representing  a benefit at 42%  compared to a taxation  expense of $0.3  million
representing   expense  at  8%  for  the  year  ended   December   31,  2002.  A
reconciliation  between  the US  statutory  tax rate and the  effective  rate of
income tax benefit on losses before income taxes for the year ended December 31,
2003 and December 31, 2002 is shown below:

                                        ----------------    --------------

The main reason for the change in estimate above relates to the Huntingdon  2002
tax  provision.  The UK  government  in its  2002  budget  introduced  a new tax
allowance,  `Research and Development (R & D) Tax Credit',  for large companies.
At the end of 2002, it was not certain how this would apply to Huntingdon.  When
submitting   Huntingdon's  2002  corporation  tax  computation,   and  following
discussions with the UK Inland Revenue,  Huntingdon has made a claim for the R &
D Tax Credit.  Pending the outcome of the 2002  claim,  the 2003  provision  has
excluded any further allowance.

The overall  net income for the year ended  December  31, 2003 was $3.7  million
compared to $2.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. The diluted income
per share for the year ended  December 31, 2003 was $0.29  compared to $0.24 for
the year ended December 31, 2002.

Year ended December 31, 2002 compared with the year ended December 31, 2001

Revenues in the year ended December 31, 2002 were $115.7 million, an increase of
17% on  revenues of $99.2  million for the year ended  December  31,  2001.  The
underlying increase,  after adjusting for the impact of the movement in exchange
rates was 13%; with the UK showing a 15% increase and the US a 7% increase.  The
year 2002 saw a record  growth in orders,  representing  an increase of 25% over
last year. At December 31, 2002, backlog amounted to approximately $95 million.

Cost of sales in the year  ended  December  31,  2002  were  $93.4  million,  an
increase of 11% on cost of sales of $84.1  million  for the year ended  December
31,  2001.  This  increase  was partly due to  exchange  rate  movements,  which
increased  cost of sales in the year by $3.0 million.  Without  these  movements
cost of sales would have  increased by 8%. In the UK cost  increases in sterling
were only 8%,  which is lower  than the  revenue  growth as  capacity  is filled
without the  corresponding  increase in fixed  costs.  The main  increase was in
labor costs  reflecting  actions taken to adjust salaries to allow retention and
recruitment of key employees.  Increases in costs in the US were only 3%, mainly
due to lower increases in direct materials costs compared to the UK.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses rose by 13% to $18.1 million for
the year ended  December 31, 2002 from $16.0 million in the year ended  December
31, 2001. Of this  increase,  $0.6 million  related to exchange rate  movements.
This growth was due to a  continuation  of the  build-up  of the sales  activity
during the year and higher labor costs.

There were no other  operating  expenses in the year ended  December  31,  2002,
compared  with $0.75  million in the year ended  December 31, 2001.  In the year
ended  December 31, 2001,  other  operating  expenses  comprised $0.4 million in
connection  with specific  legal actions taken against  animal rights groups and
$0.35  million in  connection  with the write off of foreign  exchange  dealings
resulting from the bankruptcy of an exchange broker.

Interest  expense declined by 5% to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2002 from $6.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2001. The main reasons for
the reduction are the repayment of the former Stephens' loan and Baker loan, the
repurchase of $2.4 million (principal amount) of the bonds,  together with lower
interest  rates on the  non-bank  debt (down from an average in 2001 of 7.13% to
5.77% in 2002).

Other income of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 comprised $5.0
million from the non-cash  foreign  exchange  remeasurement  gain on the Capital
Bonds  denominated  in US dollars  (the  functional  currency  of the  financing
subsidiary that holds the bonds is UK sterling); a $1.2 million gain was made on
the partial  repurchase of the Capital  Bonds;  offset  against these was a $1.3
million charge  relating to the  finalization of the Exchange Offer. In the year
ended  December  31, 2001 there were other  operating  expenses of $4.5  million
which was comprised of a non-cash  foreign  exchange  remeasurement  loss on the
Capital Bonds of $1.4 million;  $2.9 million relating to the Exchange Offer; and
$0.2 million to the write off of the unamortized refinancing costs.

Taxation expense on income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $0.3 million
representing  a charge at 8%  compared  to a taxation  benefit  of $3.0  million
representing   benefit  at  26%  for  the  year  ended   December  31,  2001.  A
reconciliation  between  the US  statutory  tax rate and the  effective  rate of
income tax benefit on losses before income taxes for the year ended December 31,
2002 and December 31, 2001 is shown below:

The overall  net income for the year ended  December  31, 2002 was $2.7  million
compared to a loss of $9.6  million in the year ended  December  31,  2001.  The
diluted income per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $0.24 compared
to a diluted loss per share of $(1.64) for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Excluding  other income and expense,  net of income tax, the  income/(loss)  per
share  would  have  been a net loss  per  share of  $(0.20)  for the year  ended
December 31, 2002 and $(0.96) for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2003 v 2002

Revenues  increased by 15% in the year ended December 31, 2003 compared with the
year ended  December 31, 2002.  After  allowing for the effect of exchange  rate
movements  the increase was 6%.  Orders for the year ended  December 31, 2003 at
constant  exchange  rates  were 9.8%  below  the  previous  year and 2.3%  below
revenues for the year.  The Company  believes that a weakening in the market for
toxicology  services  due to extra  capacity  coming on  stream at  competitors,
combined with a decline in work being outsourced by the  Agrochemical  industry,
both  on  new  chemical  entities  and as  reregistration  work  under  European
Directive  91/414/EEC  diminished,  were  responsible for this fall.  Backlog at
December 31, 2002 was 29% higher than a year  previously  and this sustained the
growth in revenues.

Costs  increased by 14% in the year ended  December 31, 2003  compared  with the
year ended  December 31, 2002.  After  allowing for the effect of exchange  rate
movements,  the  increase  was 5%. The main cost  increases  were in labor where
staff  numbers  were built up in response to the growth in orders in 2002.  With
the softness in orders in 2003 steps were taken to reduce staffing levels in the
second half of the year,  but the average  headcount  for the year was 28 higher
than in 2002.  Changes to Social Security charges,  which took effect from April
1, 2003, also added to labor costs.

The operating income before other operating expenses for the year ended December
31, 2003 was $5.4 million compared with $4.0 million in the year to December 31,
2002.

Other operating  expenses in the year ended December 31, 2003, were $3.3 million
compared with $0 in the year ended December 31, 2002. In the year ended December
31, 2003,  other  expenses  comprised  $0.4 million in connection  with specific
legal actions taken against animal rights groups, and $3.5 million in respect of
a restructuring of the business.  These  restructuring costs comprise redundancy
(severance)  payments  and asset write downs  arising  from a  consolidation  of
duplicate facilities in response to changes in the market,  particularly for non
pharmaceutical  services,  and a  closure  of  excess  and  outdated  toxicology
capacity.  These expenses were offset by income of $0.2 million representing the
Group's  share of an  associated  company's  income  (recognised  following  its
acquisition  in June 2003) and $0.4 million from the recovery of funds,  written
off in 2001, following the bankruptcy of an exchange broker.

The  operating  income for the year ended  December  31,  2003 was $2.1  million
compared with $4.0 million in the previous year.

2002 v 2001

Revenues  increased by 20% in the year ended  December 31, 2002  compared to the
year ended  December 31, 2001.  After  allowing for the effect of exchange  rate
movements  the increase was over 15%.  This was a result of continued  growth in
orders.

The operating income before other operating (expenses)/income for the year ended
December 31, 2002 was $4.0 million compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million
in the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in revenues had a major impact
on the improvement in operating income, with the filling of capacity without the
corresponding  increase  in fixed  costs.  There  were  some  additional  costs,
including  salary  increases both to reflect  market rates and additional  staff
($2.6 million); and a reduction in exchange gains ($0.2 million).

US

2003 v 2002

Revenues increased by 13% in the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the
year ended  December 31, 2002.  Orders for the year ended December 31, 2003 were
4% below the previous year, but 6.9% above revenues for the year. A weakening in
the market for toxicology  services was responsible for the fall in orders,  but
the level of orders combined with the high level of backlog at December 31, 2002
sustained the growth in revenues.

Costs  increased by 9% in the year ended  December 31, 2003 as compared with the
year ended  December  31,  2002.  This cost  increase  was mainly  driven by the
increase  in  revenues;  however,  there were also  additional  costs due to the
increase in sales activity.

Operating  income before other operating  expense  improved from $0.3 million in
the year ended  December 31, 2002 to $1.4 million in the year ended December 31,
2003. This was as a result of the increased revenues.

Other  operating  expenses in the year ended  December  31, 2003 of $0.2 million
were in connection with specific action taken against animal rights groups.

The  operating  income for the year ended  December  31,  2003 was $1.2  million
compared with $0.3 million in the previous year.

2002 v 2001

Revenues  increased by 5.9% in the year ended  December 31, 2002 compared to the
year ended  December 31, 2001.  This  increase in the rate of growth of revenues
was due to a recovery in orders after the  reduction  level last year.  Revenues
from the US toxicology  operations remained constant,  but revenues derived from
the analysis of samples from  clinical  trials  returned to their normal  levels
following the decrease last year.

Operating  (loss)/income  before other operating expense improved from a loss of
$(0.1)  million in the year ended December 31, 2001 to income of $0.3 million in
the  year  ended  December  31,  2002.  This was as a  result  of the  increased
revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Bank Loan and Non-Bank Loans

On January 20, 2001,  the  Company's net non-bank  loan of  (pound)22.5  million
($40.1 million approximately),  was refinanced by Stephens' Group Inc. and other
parties.  The loan was  transferred  from  Stephens  Group Inc., to an unrelated
third party  effective  February 11, 2002.  It is now repayable on June 30, 2006
and  interest is payable  quarterly  at LIBOR plus  1.75%.  At the same time the
Company was required to take all  reasonable  steps to sell off such of its real
estate assets through  sale/leaseback  transactions  and/or  obtaining  mortgage
financing  secured by the Company's  real estate assets to discharge  this loan.
The loan is held by LSR Ltd.,  and is secured by the  guarantees of wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company  including,  LSR Ltd,  Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd,
and Huntingdon Life Sciences Inc., and collateralized by all the assets of these
companies.

On October 9, 2001, on behalf of  Huntingdon,  LSR issued to Stephens Group Inc.
warrants  to  purchase  up to  704,425  shares of LSR Voting  Common  Stock at a
purchase price of $1.50 per share. The warrants were subsequently transferred to
an unrelated third party.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any time and will
expire on October 9, 2011.  These warrants arose out of  negotiations  regarding
the refinancing of the bank loan by the Stephens Group Inc., in January 2001. In
accordance  with APB Opinion No. 14,  Accounting for  Convertible  Debt and Debt
Issued with Stock  Purchase  Warrants  ("APB 14") the warrants  were recorded at
their pro rata fair values in relation to the  proceeds  received on the date of
issuance. As a result, the value of the warrants was $430,000.

Convertible Capital Bonds

The remainder of the Company's  long term  financing is provided by  Convertible
Capital  Bonds  repayable in September  2006.  At the time of the issue in 1991,
these bonds were for $50 million par and at December  31,  2003,  $46.2  million
were  outstanding.  They carry  interest  at a rate of 7.5% per  annum,  payable
biannually in March and  September.  During 2002,  the Company  repurchased  and
cancelled  $2,410,000 principal amount of such bonds resulting in a $1.2 million
gain recorded in other  income/expense.  In 2003 the Company further repurchased
and cancelled  $1,345,000  principal amount of such bonds resulting in a gain of
$0.6 million recorded in other  income/expense.  At the current conversion rate,
the  number  of shares of Voting  Common  Stock to be issued on  conversion  and
exchange of each unit of $10,000 comprised in a Bond would be 49. The conversion
rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Related Party Loans

Financing  which  totaled  $5.7  million was provided to the company in 2000 and
2001 and was fully repaid in 2002.  Other  financing has been provided by a $2.9
million loan  facility made  available on September 25, 2000 by a director,  Mr.
Baker.  In connection with this financing,  the company  authorized,  subject to
shareholder approval, the issuance of warrants to purchase 410,914 shares of LSR
Voting  Common  Stock at a  purchase  price of $1.50 per share to FHP, a company
controlled by Mr. Baker. Such shareholder approval was granted on June 12, 2002.
Additionally,  other  financing  also includes a $2.8 million  facility from the
Stephens Group Inc. made available on July 19, 2001. Effective February 11, 2002
the Stephens Group Inc. debt was transferred to an unrelated  third party.  Both
facilities  have been fully drawn down.  $550,000 of the loan from Mr. Baker was
transferred to and assumed by FHP in March 2001. On March 28, 2002, $2.1 million
of Mr.  Baker's loan was converted  into  1,400,000  shares of LSR Voting Common
Stock and $300,000 of FHP's loan was converted into 200,000 shares of LSR Voting
Common Stock; in each case as part of LSR's private  placement of  approximately
5.1 million shares of Voting Common Stock. The remaining  principal amounts were
repaid in full to Mr. Baker and FHP, inclusive of 10% interest, respectively, in
2002.

As noted  above,  on June 11, 2002 LSR issued to FHP  warrants to purchase up to
410,914  shares of LSR  Voting  Common  Stock at a  purchase  price of $1.50 per
share.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any time and will expire on June 11,
2012.  These warrants arose out of  negotiations  regarding the provision of the
$2.9 million loan facility  made  available to the Company on September 25, 2000
by Mr. Baker,  who controls FHP. In accordance with APB 14 the loan and warrants
were  recorded  at their  pro rata  fair  values  in  relation  to the  proceeds
received. As a result, the value of the warrants was $250,000.

Common Shares

On January 10, 2002, LSR issued 99,900 shares of Voting Common Stock and 900,000
shares of Non-Voting Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share (or an aggregate
of $1.5  million).  Effective  July 25, 2002,  all of the 900,000  shares of the
Non-Voting  Common Stock were  converted  into 900,000  shares of Voting  Common
Stock.

On March 28, 2002, LSR closed the sale in a private placement of an aggregate of
5,085,334  shares of Voting  Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share.  Of the
aggregate proceeds of approximately $7.6 million, $4.4 million was in cash, $2.4
million  represented  conversion  into  equity of debt owed to Mr.  Baker  ($2.1
million) and FHP ($0.3  million) and  $825,000 was paid with  promissory  notes.
$141,000  of such  promissory  notes were repaid  during  2002 and $23,000  were
repaid during 2003.

Cash flows

During the year ended  December  31,  2003 funds  generated  were $2.7  million,
increasing cash on hand and on short-term deposit from $14.6 million at December
31,  2002 to $17.3  million  at  December  31,  2003.  The cash  generated  from
operating,  investing and  financing  activities  were  generated as follows (in

Net days sales  outstanding  (DSOs) at December 31, 2003 were 17 days, up from 9
days at December 31, 2002.  DSO is calculated  as a sum of accounts  receivable,
unbilled  receivables  and fees in  advance  over total  revenue.  The impact on
liquidity from a one-day change in DSO is approximately $400,000.

At December  31,  2003,  the Company had a working  capital  deficiency  of $3.9
million.  The Company  believes that  projected cash flow from  operations  will
satisfy its contemplated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The total cost of equipment  capitalized  under these capital leases is $546,000
and $20,000, at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Depreciation on these
capital leases  amounted to $68,000 and $5,000 and $5,000 for the years ended at
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Accumulated depreciation on the
capital leases  amounted to $87,000,  $20,000 and $15,000 for the years ended at
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Contingencies

The Company is party to certain  legal  actions  arising in the normal course of
its  business.  In  management's  opinion,  none of these  actions  will  have a
material effect on the Company's  operations,  financial condition or liquidity.
No  form  of  proceedings  has  been  brought,  instigated  or  is  known  to be
contemplated against the Company by any government agency.

ORDERS

New business  signings  totaled  $123.7  million for the year ended December 31,
2003,  a decrease of 8.5%  respectively  from the prior  year.  2002 saw a rapid
growth in  business  from the  Pharmaceutical  industry  and this  business  was
maintained in 2003. However there was a decline in the amount of work outsourced
from  the  Agrochemical   industry,   both  on  new  chemical  entities  and  as
registration work under European Directive 91/414/EEC diminished.

EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS AND EXCHANGE CONTROLS

The Company operates on a worldwide basis and generally  invoices its clients in
the currency of the country in which the Company  operates.  Thus,  for the most
part, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is limited as sales are denominated
in the same currency as costs.  Trading  exposures to currency  fluctuations  do
occur  as a  result  of  certain  sales  contracts,  performed  in the UK for US
clients, which are denominated in US dollars and contribute approximately 11% of
total revenues. Management has decided not to hedge against this exposure.

Also,  exchange  rate  fluctuations  may have an  impact on the  relative  price
competitiveness  of the Company vis a vis  competitors  who trade in  currencies
other than  sterling or dollars.  Such  fluctuations  also have an impact on the
translation of the 7.5% Convertible Capital Bonds payable in September 2006.

Finally,  the  consolidated  financial  statements of LSR are  denominated in US
dollars.  Changes in exchange  rates  between the UK pound  sterling  and the US
dollar will affect the translation of the UK subsidiary's financial results into
US dollars for the purposes of reporting the consolidated financial results. The
process by which each foreign subsidiary's financial results are translated into
US dollars is as follows:  income  statement  accounts are translated at average
exchange  rates for the period;  balance sheet asset and liability  accounts are
translated at end of period exchange  rates;  and equity accounts are translated
at historical  exchange  rates.  Translation of the balance sheet in this manner
affects the  stockholders'  equity account referred to as the accumulated  other
comprehensive  loss  account.  Management  has decided not to hedge  against the
impact of exposures giving rise to these translation  adjustments as such hedges
may impact upon the Company's cash flow compared to the translation  adjustments
which do not affect cash flow in the medium term.

Exchange rates for translating sterling into US dollars were as follows:

                            At December 31              Average rate (1)
         2001                   1.4554                       1.4403
         2002                   1.6099                       1.5039
         2003                   1.7857                       1.6354


(1)  Based on the  average of the  exchange  rates on the last day of each month
     during the period.

On March 24, 2004 the noon buying rate for sterling was (pound)1.00 = $1.8351.

The  Company  has  not  experienced  difficulty  in  transferring  funds  to and
receiving funds remitted from those  countries  outside the US or UK in which it
operates and management expects this situation to continue.

While the UK has not at this time  entered  the  European  Monetary  Union,  the
Company has ascertained  that its financial  systems are capable of dealing with
Euro denominated transactions.

The  following  table  summarizes  the  financial  instruments   denominated  in
currencies  other  than the US  dollar  held by LSR and its  subsidiaries  as of

COMPETITION

Competition in both the  pharmaceutical and  non-pharmaceutical  market segments
ranges from in-house research and development divisions of large pharmaceutical,
agrochemical  and industrial  chemical  companies,  who perform their own safety
assessments to contract research  organizations like the Company,  who provide a
full  range of  services  to the  industries  and niche  suppliers  focusing  on
specific services or industries.

This  competition  could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  net
revenues  and net income,  either  through  in-house  research  and  development
divisions doing more work internally to utilize  capacity or through the loss of
studies to other competitors. As the Company operates on an international basis,
movements  in  exchange  rates,   particularly  against  sterling,  can  have  a
significant impact on its price competitiveness.

CONSOLIDATION WITHIN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

The process of consolidation  within the  pharmaceutical  industry  continues to
accelerate the move towards outsourcing work to contract research  organizations
in the longer term as resources are increasingly invested in in-house facilities
for discovery and lead  optimization,  rather than  development  and  regulatory
safety evaluation.  However, in the short-term,  there is a negative impact with
development  pipelines being rationalized and a focus on integration rather than
development.  This can have a  material  adverse  impact  on the  Company's  net
revenues and net income.

ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISM

Please refer to the detailed discussion under Item 1, on pages 10 to 11.

INFLATION

While most of the Company's net revenues are earned under fixed price contracts,
the effects of inflation do not generally have a material  adverse effect on its
operations  or  financial  condition  as only a minority of the  contracts  have
duration in excess of one year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance  with US GAAP.  The Company  considers the following
accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.

Revenue recognition

The majority of the  Company's  net revenues  have been earned under  contracts,
which generally range in duration from a few months to three years. Revenue from
these  contracts  is  generally  recognized  over the term of the  contracts  as
services are rendered. Contracts may contain provisions for renegotiation in the
event of cost  overruns due to changes in the level of work scope.  Renegotiated
amounts  are  included in net revenue  when earned and  realization  is assured.
Provisions  for losses to be incurred on contracts are recognized in full in the
period in which it is determined that a loss will result from performance of the
contractual arrangement.  Most service contracts may be terminated for a variety
of reasons by the Company's  customers,  either  immediately or upon notice of a
future date. The contracts  generally require payments to the Company to recover
costs  incurred,  including  costs to wind down the study,  and  payment of fees
earned to date,  and in some cases to provide the Company  with a portion of the
fees or income that would have been earned  under the  contract had the contract
not been terminated early.

Unbilled  receivables  are  recorded  for  revenue  recognized  to date  that is
currently  not  billable to the  customer  pursuant  to  contractual  terms.  In
general,  amounts become billable upon the achievement of certain aspects of the
contract  or  in  accordance  with  predetermined  payment  schedules.  Unbilled
receivables  are  billable  to  customers  within  one year from the  respective
balance sheet date. Fees in advance are recorded for amounts billed to customers
for which,  revenue has not been  recognized  at the balance sheet date (such as
upfront  payments  upon  contract   authorization,   but  prior  to  the  actual
commencement of the study).

If the Company does not accurately  estimate the resources required or the scope
of work to be  performed,  or does not manage its projects  properly  within the
planned  periods of time or satisfy its  obligations  under the contracts,  then
future  margins  may be  significantly  and  negatively  affected  or  losses on
existing contracts may need to be recognized.  Any such resulting  reductions in
margins  or  contract  losses  could be  material  to the  Company's  results of
operations.

Use of estimates

The  preparation  of financial  statements in  conformity  with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the dates of the financial  statements and the results of operations  during the
reporting periods. These also include management estimates in the calculation of
pension  liabilities  covering  discount rates,  return on plan assets and other
actuarial assumptions. Although these estimates are based upon management's best
knowledge of current events and actions,  actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Taxation

The Company  accounts  for income  taxes under the  provisions  of  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes"
("SFAS  109").  SFAS  109  requires  recognition  of  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences of events  attributable to
differences  between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carry  forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
rates in  effect  for the year in  which  the  differences  are  expected  to be
recovered  or settled.  The effect on  deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  of
changes in tax rates is  recognized in the statement of operations in the period
in which the enactment  rate changes.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are
reduced  through the  establishment  of a valuation  allowance  at such time as,
based on  available  evidence,  it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will not be realized.  While the Company has  considered  future  taxable
income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the
need  for the  valuation  allowance,  in the  event  that  the  Company  were to
determine  that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net  deferred
tax assets in the future,  an  adjustment  to the  deferred  tax assets would be
charged to income in the period such  determination was made.  Likewise,  should
the Company  determine  that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets
in the  future  in excess  of its net  recorded  amount,  an  adjustment  to the
deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such  determination  was
made.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,  "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64,  Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections"
("SFAS 145").  This statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning after May
15,  2002.  SFAS 145  rescinds  SFAS No. 4,  "Reporting  Gains and  Losses  from
Extinguishment  of Debt"  (SFAS 4),  which  required  all gains and losses  from
extinguishment  of debt to be  aggregated  and, if  material,  classified  as an
extraordinary  item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria
in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS 145 also
amends  Statement  13 to require  that  certain  lease  modifications  that have
economic effects similar to sale-leaseback  transactions be accounted for in the
same manner as sale-leaseback transactions.  The Company's early adoption of the
provisions of this  statement,  resulted in the inclusion of a $1.2 million gain
in other income/(expense) in 2002.

In June 2002,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,  "Accounting  for Costs  Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires that a liability
for a cost associated  with an exit or disposal  activity be recognized when the
liability is incurred.  SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and  requirement  for
recognition  of exit costs in Emerging  Issues Task Force  (EITF) Issue No. 94-3
where a liability  for an exit costs was  recognized  at the date of an entity's
commitment  to an exit plan.  This  statement is effective  for exit or disposal
activities  initiated  after  December 31, 2002.  The Company's  adoption of the
provisions of this statement,  in conjunction with SFAS No. 144,  Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,  resulted in the inclusion of a
$3.5 million loss in other income (expense) in 2003.

In June 2002, the FASB issued  Statement No. 148,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation  - Transition  and  Disclosure,  an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123" ("SFAS 148"). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123,  Accounting for
Stock-Based  Compensation,  to provide  alternative  methods of transition for a
voluntary  change to the fair value based method of accounting  for  stock-based
employee  compensation.  In  addition,  this  statement  amends  the  disclosure
requirements  of Statement 123 to require  prominent  disclosures in both annual
and interim financial  statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
amendments to Statement 123 of this  statement  shall be effective for financial
statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this
statement had no impact on LSR's results of  operations,  financial  position or
cash flows.

In  November  2002,  the FASB issued FASB  interpretation  No. 45,  "Guarantor's
Accounting  and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees,  including  Indirect
Guarantees of  Indebtedness  of Others".  In the normal course of business,  the
Company  does  not  issue  guarantees  to  third  parties;   accordingly,   this
interpretation has no effect on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation No. 46,  "Consolidation of
Variable  Interest  Entities".  The  Company has no  arrangements  that would be
subject to this interpretation.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of SFAS 133 on Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activities"  (SFAS 149). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies
financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts  (collectively referred to as
derivatives) for hedging activities, and for SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities." The changes in SFAS 149 improve  financial
reporting  by  requiring  that  contracts  with  comparable  characteristics  be
accounted for  similarly.  SFAS 149 is effective  for contracts  entered into or
modified  after June 30,  2003.  The adoption of this  statement  did not have a
material  impact on LSR's  results of  operations,  financial  position  or cash
flows.

In May 2003,  the FASB issued  SFAS No. 150  "Accounting  for Certain  Financial
Instruments with  characteristics  of both Liabilities and Equities" (SFAS 150).
SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial  instruments  with  characteristics  of both liabilities and equities.
SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial  instrument that is within
its  scope  as a  liability  (or  asset  in some  circumstances).  Many of those
instruments  were  previously  classified  as equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise
is effective at the beginning of the first interim period  beginning  after June
15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on LSR's
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 132 (R), "Employer's Disclosures
about Pensions and Other  Postretirement  Benefits".  Statement No. 132 requires
new annual  disclosures  about the types of plan  assets,  investment  strategy,
measurement  date,  plan  obligations,  cash flows and the components of the net
periodic benefit cost recognized in interim periods.  The new annual  disclosure
requirements  apply to fiscal years ending after  December 15, 2003,  except for
the disclosure of expected future benefit payments,  which must be disclosed for
fiscal  years  ending  after June 15,  2004.  The Company has a foreign plan for
which the effective  date is June 15, 2004,  after which the Company will comply
with this statement.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition
and  Results of  Operations,  as well as in certain  other  parts of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K (as well as information included in oral statements or other
written statements made or to be made by the Company) that look forward in time,
are forward looking  statements  made pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions of
the Private  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward looking  statements include
statements concerning plans,  objectives,  goals,  strategies,  future events or
performance,  expectations,  predictions,  and assumptions and other  statements
which are other than  statements  of  historical  facts.  Although  the  Company
believes  such  forward-looking  statements  are  reasonable,  it  can  give  no
assurance that any  forward-looking  statements  will prove to be correct.  Such
forward-looking  statements  are subject  to, and are  qualified  by,  known and
unknown risks,  uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results,
performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by those statements.  These risks,  uncertainties and other factors include, but
are not limited to the Company's  ability to estimate the impact of  competition
and of industry  consolidation  and risks,  uncertainties  and other factors set
forth in the  Company's  filings with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,
including without limitation this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

LSR is subject to market  risks  arising  from  changes  in  interest  rates and
foreign currency exchange rates.

Non-Bank Loans

The Company's (pound)22.5 million ($40.1 million) credit facility is UK sterling
denominated  and does not  contribute  to  transaction  gains and  losses on the
income statement due to the fact that,  under US GAAP, the Company's  functional
currency is sterling.  Interest on all outstanding  borrowings under this credit
facility  is based upon LIBOR plus a margin,  approximately  5.50% per annum for
the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003 this credit  facility was
fully drawn down.

In the year ended December 31, 2003, a 1% change in LIBOR would have resulted in
a fluctuation in interest expense of $403,000.

Revenue

For the year ended  December 31, 2003,  approximately  79% of the  Company's net
revenues  were from outside the US. The Company does not engage in derivative or
hedging activities related to its potential foreign exchange exposures.

Convertible Capital Bonds

The Company's $46.2 million principal amount of Convertible Capital Bonds are US
dollar  denominated,  but are held by a non-US  subsidiary of the Company.  As a
result,  with respect to these bonds, the Company  experiences  exchange related
gains and losses which only has a non-cash  impact on the financial  statements,
based on the movement of exchange  rates.  Hence,  the Company does not take any
actions to hedge against such risks. The Company is unable to predict whether it
will experience future gains or future losses from such  exchange-related  risks
on the bonds.

Operations.

and comprehensive  loss, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audit.  The financial  statements of the Company as of December 31, 2002 and
for the two years then ended were audited by other  auditors  whose report dated
March 26, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of the Company at
December 31, 2003,  and the results of their  operations  and cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles  generally accepted in
the United States of America.

1.      THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS

Life  Sciences  Research  Inc.  ("LSR")  and  subsidiaries  (collectively,   the
"Company")  is a  global  contract  research  organization,  offering  worldwide
pre-clinical and non-clinical  testing for biological safety evaluation research
services to pharmaceutical,  biotechnology, agrochemical and industrial chemical
companies.  The Company  serves the rapidly  evolving  regulatory and commercial
requirements to perform safety evaluations on new  pharmaceutical  compounds and
chemical  compounds  contained within the products that humans use, eat, and are
otherwise exposed to. In addition,  it tests the effect of such compounds on the
environment  and also  performs  work on  assessing  the safety and  efficacy of
veterinary products.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies, is set out below:

Basis of Presentation

These  financial  statements  are  prepared in  conformity  with the  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). Under
US GAAP,  the  company  whose  stockholders  retain the  majority  interest in a
combined  business  must be treated as the  acquirer  for  accounting  purposes.
Accordingly,  the Exchange Offer is accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" for
financial  reporting  purposes.  The  reverse  acquisition  is  deemed a capital
transaction   and  the  net  assets  of  Huntingdon   Life  Sciences  Group  plc
("Huntingdon")  (the accounting  acquirer) are carried forward to LSR (the legal
acquirer  and  the  reporting   entity)  at  their  carrying  value  before  the
combination.  Although Huntingdon was deemed to be the acquiring corporation for
financial  accounting  and  reporting  purposes,  the legal status of LSR as the
surviving corporation does not change. The relevant acquisition process utilizes
the capital  structure of LSR and the assets and  liabilities  of Huntingdon are
recorded at historical  cost. In these financial  statements,  Huntingdon is the
operating entity for financial  reporting purposes and the financial  statements
for all periods presented represent  Huntingdon's financial position and results
of  operations.  The  equity  of LSR is the  historical  equity  of  Huntingdon,
retroactively  restated to reflect the number of shares  issued in the  Exchange
Offer.  Certain  reclassifications  and  eliminations  have been recorded in the
current year presentation to retroactively consolidate Huntingdon and LSR.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated  financial statements  incorporate the accounts of LSR and each
of its  subsidiaries.  All  inter-company  balances  have been  eliminated  upon
consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity  date of three  months  or less at the  date of  purchase  and  consist
principally of amounts temporarily invested in money market funds.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

The  Company  establishes  an  allowance  for  uncollectible  accounts  which it
believes  is  adequate  to cover  anticipated  losses on the  collection  of all
outstanding trade receivable balances. The adequacy of the uncollectible account
allowance is based on historical information,  a review of customer accounts and
related  receivable  balances,  and management's  assessment of current economic
conditions.  The Company  reassesses  the allowance for  uncollectible  accounts
annually.

Inventories

Inventories  are valued on a FIFO  (first-in,  first out) method at the lower of
cost, or market value. They comprise materials and supplies.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis.  Estimated useful lives are
as follows:

         Buildings and facilities              15 - 50 years
         Plant and equipment                   4 - 25 years
         Vehicles                              5 years
         Computers and software                3 - 5 years

Amounts  spent to repair and  maintain  these  assets  arising out of the normal
course of business are expensed in the period incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company  maintains cash and cash  equivalents in US financial  institutions,
which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Based on the nature of the
financial  instruments and/or historical  realization of these instruments,  the
Company believes they bear minimal risk.

Income Taxes

The Company  accounts  for income  taxes under the  provisions  of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting  For Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  SFAS 109 requires  recognition  of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences of
events  attributable  to differences  between the financial  statement  carrying
amounts of existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax bases and
operating  loss  and  tax  credit  carry  forwards.   Deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities are measured using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement of
operations  in the period in which the  enactment  rate  changes.  Deferred  tax
assets and  liabilities  are reduced  through the  establishment  of a valuation
allowance at such time as, based on available  evidence,  it is more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of the  Company's  net revenues  have been earned under  contracts,
which generally range in duration from a few months to three years. Revenue from
these  contracts is  recognized  over the term of the  contracts as services are
rendered.  Contracts may contain  provisions for  renegotiation  in the event of
cost  overruns due to changes in the level of work scope.  Renegotiated  amounts
are included in net revenue when earned and  realization is assured.  Provisions
for losses to be incurred on contracts  are  recognized in full in the period in
which  it is  determined  that  a  loss  will  result  from  performance  of the
contractual arrangement.  Most service contracts may be terminated for a variety
of reasons by the Company's  customers  either  immediately  or upon notice at a
future date. The contracts  generally require payments to the Company to recover
costs  incurred,  including  costs to wind down the study,  and  payment of fees
earned to date,  and in some cases to provide the Company  with a portion of the
fees or profits  that would have been earned under the contract had the contract
not been  terminated  early.  Unbilled  receivables  are  recorded  for  revenue
recognized  to date that is currently  not billable to the customer  pursuant to
contractual  terms. In general,  amounts become billable upon the achievement of
certain  aspects of the contract or in  accordance  with  predetermined  payment
schedules.  Unbilled  receivables are billable to customers within one year from
the  respective  balance  sheet date.  Fees in advance are  recorded for amounts
billed to customers  for which  revenue has not been  recognized  at the balance
sheet date (such as upfront payments upon contract  authorization,  but prior to
the actual commencement of the study).

Foreign Currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the functional  currency of the entity are
recorded  at the  rates of  exchange  at the date of the  transaction.  Monetary
assets and  liabilities  in currencies  other than the  functional  currency are
translated  at the rates of exchange  at the balance  sheet date and the related
transaction  gains and losses are  reported  in the  statements  of  operations.
Exchange gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recorded as other
income  or  expense.  Certain  intercompany  loans  are  determined  to  be of a
long-term   investment  nature.  The  Company  records  gains  and  losses  from
remeasuring such loans as a component of other comprehensive income.

Upon  consolidation,  the results of operations of  subsidiaries  and associates
whose  functional  currency is other than the US dollar are  translated  into US
dollars at the average  exchange rate and assets and  liabilities are translated
at year-end  exchange  rates and capital  accounts are  translated at historical
exchange rate, and retained  earnings are translated at the weighted  average of
historical rates.  Translation adjustments are presented as a separate component
of other accumulated comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Effective 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which  establishes  financial  accounting  and reporting  standards for
acquired  goodwill and other intangible assets (Note 4). In accordance with SFAS
No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized
but are reviewed at least annually for impairment.  Separate  intangible  assets
that have finite  useful  lives  continue to be amortized  over their  estimated
useful lives.

SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested  annually for  impairment  using a
two-step  process.  The first step is to  identify a potential  impairment.  The
second step of the impairment  test measures the amount of the impairment  loss.
The Company, after completing the first step of the process, concluded there was
no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2003.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of SFAS  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets".  The Company evaluates  long-lived
assets  whenever events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the carrying
amount  of an  asset  may  not be  recoverable.  An  impairment  loss  would  be
recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from
the use of the  asset  and its  eventual  disposal  are less  than its  carrying
amount. In such instances, the carrying value of long-lived assets is reduced to
the estimated fair value,  as determined  using an appraisal or discounted  cash
flows, as appropriate.

Restructuring Costs

The Company recognizes obligations  associated with restructuring  activities in
accordance  with SFAS No. 146,  "Accounting  for Costs  Associated  with Exit or
Disposal  Activities."  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146 as of
the  beginning of fiscal 2003,  which  generally  requires a liability for costs
associated  with  an  exit or  disposal  activity  be  recognized  and  measured
initially  at its fair value in the period in which the  liability  is incurred.
The overall purpose of the Company's  restructuring  actions is to lower overall
operating  costs  and  improve  profitability  by  reducing  excess  capacities.
Restructuring  costs (Note 8) are typically recorded in other operating expenses
in the period in which the plan is approved by the Company's  senior  management
and, where material, the Company's Board of Directors, and when the liability is
incurred.

Leased Assets

Assets  held under the terms of capital  leases are  included  in  property  and
equipment and are  depreciated on a  straight-line  basis over the lesser of the
useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.  Obligations for future lease
payments, less attributable finance charges are shown within liabilities and are
analyzed between amounts falling due within and after one year.  Operating lease
rentals are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations as incurred.

Pension Costs

During the year the  Company  had two  defined  contribution  plans.  One of the
defined  contribution  pension  plans covers all employees in the US; the other,
employees in the UK. Prior to December 31, 2002, a defined  benefit pension plan
provided  benefits to employees based on their final  pensionable  salary. As of
December 31, 2002, the defined benefit  pension plan was curtailed.  The gain on
curtailment was recognized in the Statement of Operations  according to SFAS No.
88, "Employees'  Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Deferred Benefit
Pension  Plan and for  Termination  Benefits".  The pension  cost of the plan is
accounted  for in  accordance  with  SFAS No.  87,  "Employers'  Accounting  For
Pensions".  Pension  information  is presented in accordance  with the currently
required provisions of SFAS No. 132, "Employers'  Disclosures About Pensions And
Other Post Retirement Benefits". The net asset at transition, prior service cost
and net (loss)/gain  subject to  amortization,  outside the corridor,  are being
amortized on a  straight-line  basis over  periods of 15 years,  10 years and 10
years  respectively.  The  Company  recognized  all  actuarial  gains and losses
immediately for the purposes of its minimum pension liability.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States  requires  management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial
statements and the results of operations during the reporting periods.  Although
these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and
actions, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income/(Loss) Per Share

Income/(loss)  per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings
Per  Share".   Basic  income/(loss)  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net
income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common  shares   outstanding   during  the  year.  The  computation  of  diluted
income/(loss) per share is similar to the computation of basic income/(loss) per
share,  except  that the  denominator  is  increased  to  include  the number of
additional  common  shares  that would  have been  outstanding  if the  dilutive
potential  common  shares  had been  issued.  Diluted  income/(loss)  per  share
reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur if dilutive  securities  and
other  contracts to issue common stock were  exercised or converted  into common
shares or  resulted  in the  issuance  of common  shares that then shared in the
losses of the Company.

Segment Analysis

In  accordance  with the  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures  About  Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information"  (SFAS
131), the Company  discloses  financial and  descriptive  information  about its
reportable   operating  segments.   Operating  segments  are  components  of  an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly
evaluated  by the chief  operating  decision  maker in deciding  how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance.

Loans and Warrants

In  accordance  with  Accounting   Principles   Board  ("APB")  Opinion  No.  14
"Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Share Purchase  Warrants",
loans and warrants are recorded at their pro-rata fair values in relation to the
proceeds  received with the portion  allowable to the warrants  accounted for as
paid-in-capital.  The costs of raising long-term financing are capitalized as an
asset and are amortized,  using the effective interest method,  over the term of
the debt.

Stock-Based Compensation

The  Company  accounts  for  its  stock  option  and  stock-based   compensation
arrangements plans using the intrinsic-value  method.  Under the intrinsic value
method,  the difference between the amount the employee will pay the Company for
stock acquired under the Company's incentive plans and the stock's fair value on
the date of grant is charged to expense.  Since  employees  must pay the Company
the grant date fair value for stock  options,  no expense is recorded  for stock
options. Alternatively, since employees do not pay for stock issued for deferred
stock units granted, their grant date fair value is recorded as expense.

The following  table  reconciles net income and earnings per common stock (EPS),
as reported, to pro forma net income and EPS, as if the Company had expensed the

of  adopting  SFAS 123 since,  as  amended,  it permits  alternative  methods of
adoption.

New Accounting Standards

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,  "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64,  Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections"
("SFAS 145").  This statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning after May
15,  2002.  SFAS 145  rescinds  SFAS No. 4,  "Reporting  Gains and  Losses  from
Extinguishment  of Debt"  ("SFAS 4"),  which  required all gains and losses from
extinguishment  of debt to be  aggregated  and, if  material,  classified  as an
extraordinary  item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria
in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS 145 also
amends  Statement  13 to require  that  certain  lease  modifications  that have
economic effects similar to sale-leaseback  transactions be accounted for in the
same manner as sale-leaseback transactions.  The Company's early adoption of the
provisions of this statement resulted in the inclusion of a $1.2 million gain in
other income/(expense) in 2002.

In June 2002,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,  "Accounting  for Costs  Associated
with  Exit or  Disposal  Activities"  ("SFAS  146").  SFAS 146  requires  that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal  activity be recognized
when  the  liability  is  incurred.  SFAS  146  eliminates  the  definition  and
requirement  for  recognition of exit costs in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 94-3 where a liability for an exit costs was recognized at the date of
an entity's  commitment to an exit plan. This statement is effective for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company's adoption of
the provisions of this statement,  in conjunction with SFAS No. 144,  Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets,  resulted in the inclusion
of a $3.5 million loss in other income (expense) in 2003.


In June 2002, the FASB issued  Statement No. 148,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation  - Transition  and  Disclosure,  an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123" ("SFAS 148"). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123,  Accounting for
Stock-Based  Compensation,  to provide  alternative  methods of transition for a
voluntary  change to the fair value based method of accounting  for  stock-based
employee  compensation.  In  addition,  this  statement  amends  the  disclosure
requirements  of Statement 123 to require  prominent  disclosures in both annual
and interim financial  statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
amendments to Statement 123 of this  statement  shall be effective for financial
statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this
statement had no impact on LSR's results of  operations,  financial  position or
cash flows.

In  November  2002,  the FASB issued FASB  interpretation  No. 45,  "Guarantor's
Accounting  and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees,  including  Indirect
Guarantees of  Indebtedness  of Others".  In the normal course of business,  the
Company  does  not  issue  guarantees  to  third  parties;   accordingly,   this
interpretation has no effect on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation No. 46,  "Consolidation of
Variable  Interest  Entities".  The  Company has no  arrangements  that would be
subject to this interpretation.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of SFAS 133 on Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activities"  (SFAS 149). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies
financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts  (collectively referred to as
derivatives) for hedging activities, and for SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities." The changes in SFAS 149 improve  financial
reporting  by  requiring  that  contracts  with  comparable  characteristics  be
accounted for  similarly.  SFAS 149 is effective  for contracts  entered into or
modified  after June 30,  2003.  The adoption of this  statement  did not have a
material  impact on LSR's  results of  operations,  financial  position  or cash
flows.

In May 2003,  the FASB issued  SFAS No. 150  "Accounting  for Certain  Financial
Instruments with  characteristics  of both Liabilities and Equities" (SFAS 150).
SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial  instruments  with  characteristics  of both liabilities and equities.
SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial  instrument that is within
its  scope  as a  liability  (or  asset  in some  circumstances).  Many of those
instruments  were  previously  classified  as equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise
is effective at the beginning of the first interim period  beginning  after June
15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on LSR's
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 132 (R), "Employer's Disclosures
about Pensions and Other  Postretirement  Benefits".  Statement No. 132 requires
new annual  disclosures  about the types of plan  assets,  investment  strategy,
measurement  date,  plan  obligations,  cash flows and the components of the net
periodic benefit cost recognized in interim periods.  The new annual  disclosure
requirements  apply to fiscal years ending after  December 15, 2003,  except for
the disclosure of expected future benefit payments,  which must be disclosed for
fiscal  years  ending  after June 15,  2004.  The Company has a foreign plan for
which the effective  date is June 15, 2004,  after which the Company will comply
with this statement.

4.      GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In June 2001, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
141, "Business  Combinations",  which eliminates the pooling of interests method
of accounting for business  combinations  and addresses the initial  recognition
and measurement of goodwill and other  intangible  assets acquired in a business
combination.  In June 2001,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets", or SFAS No. 142. The
Company  adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2003.  SFAS No. 142 addresses the
financial  accounting and reporting  standards for the acquisition of intangible
assets outside of a business combination,  and for goodwill and other intangible
assets subsequent to their acquisition. This statement requires that goodwill be
separately  disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial
position,  and no longer be amortized  but tested for  impairment  on a periodic
basis.

On July 1, 2003, the remaining 50% of the shares in HLS KK, not previously owned
by  Huntingdon,  was  purchased,  resulting  in HLS KK  becoming a wholly  owned
subsidiary  of  Huntingdon.  The  purchase  price is  payable  over a three year
period,  and is equal to the  greater of (a) $1  million  or (b) the  commission
which would have been paid if the purchase  had not  happened.  Payments  during
that  three year  period  shall be made at the rate which had been in effect for
commissions prior to the acquisition, and is payable semi-annually.  Commissions
paid to the previous owner of the acquired 50% of HLS KK during the 12 months to
June 30,  2003  were  $0.3  million.  Goodwill  on  purchase  was  Japanese  Yen
99,500,000 ($832,000 at year end rates).

Prior to this date,  the shares  owned by  Huntingdon  in HLS KK were held as an
investment,  as the  day to day  control  of  HLS KK was  not  exercised  by the
Company.  The  Company's  share  of the  profits  of HLS KK  from  the  date  of
incorporation,  January 2, 1996, to June 30, 2003 of $208,000 was  recognized in
the third quarter of 2003.

The main reason for the change in estimate above relates to the Huntingdon  2002
tax  provision.  The UK  government  in its  2002  budget  introduced  a new tax
allowance, `Research and Development (R & D) Tax Credit, for large companies. At
the end of 2002,  it was not certain how this would  apply to  Huntingdon.  When
submitting   Huntingdon's  2002  corporation  tax  computation,   and  following
discussions with the UK Inland Revenue,  Huntingdon has made a claim for the R &
D Tax Credit.  Pending the outcome of the 2002  claim,  the 2003  provision  has
excluded any further allowance.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 are as follows:

assets and liabilities by tax jurisdiction.

expiration  date. The Company has not provided a valuation  allowance on the net
operating  loss carry  forwards  because it believes that it is more likely than
not that those  amounts  will be  realized  through  taxable  income from future
operations.  A full valuation  allowance has been recorded for the total benefit
of capital  losses  incurred in prior years,  as the Company does not anticipate
that  the  benefit  will be  realized  in the  foreseeable  future  through  the
recognition of capital gains.

Bank Loans and Non-Bank Loans

On January 20, 2001, the Company's  non-bank loan of (pound)22.5  million ($40.1
million  approximately),  was  refinanced  by  Stephens'  Group  Inc.  and other
parties. The loan was transferred from Stephens Group Inc. to an unrelated third
party  effective  February  11, 2002.  It is now  repayable on June 30, 2006 and
interest is payable  quarterly at LIBOR plus 1.75%. At the same time the Company
was  required to take all  reasonable  steps to sell off such of its real estate
assets through  sale/leaseback  transactions and/or obtaining mortgage financing
secured by the Company's  real estate assets to discharge this loan. The Company
is taking all reasonable steps to conduct these  transactions.  The loan is held
by LSR Ltd and is secured by the guarantees of the wholly owned  subsidiaries of
the Company including LSR Ltd., Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd and Huntingdon Life
Sciences Inc., and collateralized by all the assets of these companies.

On October 9, 2001, on behalf of  Huntingdon,  LSR issued to Stephens Group Inc.
warrants  to  purchase  up to  704,425  shares of LSR Voting  Common  Stock at a
purchase price of $1.50 per share. The warrants were subsequently transferred to
an unrelated third party.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any time and will
expire on October 9, 2011.  These warrants arose out of  negotiations  regarding
the refinancing of the bank loan by the Stephens Group Inc., in January 2001. In
accordance  with APB Opinion No. 14,  Accounting for  Convertible  Debt and Debt
Issued with Stock  Purchase  Warrants  ("APB 14") the warrants  were recorded at
their pro rata fair values in relation to the  proceeds  received on the date of
issuance and treated as a debt discount. The value of the warrants was $430,000.

Convertible Capital Bonds

The remainder of the Company's  long term  financing is provided by  Convertible
Capital  Bonds  repayable in September  2006.  At the time of the issue in 1991,
these bonds were for $50 million par and at December 31, 2003 $46.2  million was
outstanding. They carry interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable biannually
in March and  September.  During 2002,  the Company  repurchased  and  cancelled
$2,410,000  principal  amount of such bonds  resulting  in a $1.2  million  gain
recorded  in  other  income/expense.   In  January  2003,  the  Company  further
repurchased and cancelled $1,345,000 principal amount of such bonds resulting in
a gain of $0.6 million.  At the current conversion rate, the number of shares of
Voting  Common  Stock to be issued on  conversion  and  exchange of each unit of
$10,000  comprised  in a Bond  would be 49.  The  conversion  rate is subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances.

Related Party Loans

Other financing has been provided by a $2.9 million loan facility made available
on  September  25,  2000 by a  director,  Mr.  Baker.  In  connection  with this
financing, the company authorized, subject to shareholder approval, the issuance
of warrants to purchase  410,914 shares of LSR Voting Common Stock at a purchase
price of $1.50  per  share to FHP,  a  company  controlled  by Mr.  Baker.  Such
shareholder approval was granted on June 12, 2002. Additionally, other financing
also  includes  a $2.8  million  facility  from the  Stephens  Group  Inc.  made
available on July 19, 2001.  Effective February 11, 2002 the Stephens Group Inc.
debt was  transferred to an unrelated  third party.  Both  facilities  have been
fully drawn down.  $550,000 of the loan from Mr.  Baker was  transferred  to and
assumed by FHP in March 2001.  On March 28, 2002,  $2.1  million of Mr.  Baker's
loan was converted into 1,400,000 shares of LSR Voting Common Stock and $300,000
of FHP's loan was converted into 200,000  shares of LSR Voting Common Stock;  in
each case as part of LSR's private placement of approximately 5.1 million shares
of Voting Common Stock.  The  remaining  principal  amounts were repaid in full,
with a rate of 10% interest, to Mr. Baker and FHP, respectively, in 2002.

As noted  above,  on June 11, 2002 LSR issued to FHP  warrants to purchase up to
410,914  shares of LSR  Voting  Common  Stock at a  purchase  price of $1.50 per
share.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any time and will expire on June 11,
2012.  These warrants arose out of  negotiations  regarding the provision of the
$2.9 million loan facility  made  available to the Company on September 25, 2000
by Mr. Baker,  who controls FHP. In accordance with APB 14 the loan and warrants
were  recorded  at their  pro rata  fair  values  in  relation  to the  proceeds
received. As a result, the value of the warrants was $250,000.

7.      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The  Company's   principal   financial   instruments   comprise  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  accounts receivables, unbilled receivables and long-term debt. The
Company does not hold financial instruments for trading purposes.

The estimated fair value of the Company's  financial  instruments as of December
31, 2003 and 2002 is summarized  below.  Certain  estimates  and judgments  were
required to develop the fair value  amounts.  The fair value amounts shown below
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the amounts that the Company  would realize
upon disposition nor do they indicate the Company's intent or ability to dispose
of the financial instrument.

</TABLE>

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosure for financial instruments:

Cash and cash  equivalents,  capital leases - short term,  accounts  payable and
fees  invoiced  in  advance:   The  estimated  fair  value  of  these  financial
instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short maturities.

Accounts  receivables:  The estimated fair value of these financial  instruments
approximates  their  carrying  value  due to their  short  maturities,  less any
provision for bad debt.

Long-term debt: The carrying value of these financial  instruments  approximates
to the fair value due to their variable interest rates.

Convertible Capital Bond: The estimated fair values of the Company's Convertible
Capital Bond is based on market prices at year-end.

8.      RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded restructuring charges of
$3,551,000  including  impairment  of fixed assets of  $2,014,000,  and employee
severance of $1,537,000  associated with the UK facilities.  These charges arose
from the  consolidation  of duplicate  facilities  in response to changes in the
market, particularly for non-pharmaceutical  services, and the closure of excess
and outdated toxicology capacity. This restructuring will improve the efficiency
of the Company's  operations and will not impair its ability to service clients'
needs.

11.     SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002 LSR had  outstanding  12,034,883 and 11,932,338
shares of Voting Common Stock of par value of $0.01 each respectively.

Warrants issued in conjunction with long-term debt and related party loans

On October 9, 2001, on behalf of  Huntingdon,  LSR issued to Stephens Group Inc.
warrants  to  purchase  up to  704,425  shares of LSR Voting  Common  Stock at a
purchase price of $1.50 per share. The warrants were subsequently transferred to
an unrelated third party.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any time and will
expire on October 9, 2011.  These warrants arose out of  negotiations  regarding
the refinancing of the bank loan by the Stephens Group Inc., in January 2001. In
accordance  with APB Opinion No. 14,  Accounting for  Convertible  Debt and Debt
Issued with Stock  Purchase  Warrants  ("APB 14") the warrants  were recorded at
their pro rata fair values in relation to the  proceeds  received on the date of
issuance. As a result, the value of the warrants was $430,000.

On June 11, 2002 LSR issued to FHP warrants to purchase up to 410,914  shares of
LSR Voting Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. The LSR warrants
are  exercisable at any time and will expire on October 9, 2011.  These warrants
arose out of  negotiations  regarding  the  provision  of the $2.9  million loan
facility made  available to the Company on September 25, 2000 by Mr. Baker,  who
controls FHP. In accordance  with APB 14, the loan and warrants were recorded at
their pro rata fair values in relation to the  proceeds  received.  As a result,
the value of the warrants was $250,000.

Share option plans

LSR 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the "LSR 2001 Equity Incentive Plan")

The LSR 2001  Equity  Incentive  Plan was  adopted  effective  October  4, 2001.
Adoption of the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive Plan enables LSR to use stock options
(and other  stock-based  awards) as a means to attract,  retain and motivate key
personnel. This stock option plan was approved by the shareholders of LSR, prior
to the acquisition of Huntingdon.

Awards  under the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive  Plan may be granted by a committee
designated  by the LSR  Board  pursuant  to the  terms  of the LSR  2001  Equity
Incentive  Plan  (which  has  designated  the  Compensation  Committee  for such
purpose) and may include:  (i) options to purchase  shares of LSR Voting  Common
Stock,  including incentive stock options ("ISOs"),  non-qualified stock options
or both; (ii) stock  appreciation  rights ("SARs"),  whether in conjunction with
the grant of stock options or independent of such grant,  or stock  appreciation
rights  that are only  exercisable  in the event of a change in  control or upon
other events;  (iii)  restricted  stock consisting of shares that are subject to
forfeiture based on the failure to satisfy employment-related restrictions; (iv)
deferred stock, representing the right to receive shares of stock in the future;
(v)  bonus  stock  and  awards  in  lieu  of cash  compensation;  (vi)  dividend
equivalents,  consisting  of a right to receive  cash,  other  awards,  or other
property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified  number of
shares of LSR Voting  Common Stock or other  periodic  payments;  or (vii) other
awards not  otherwise  provided for, the value of which are based in whole or in
part upon the value of the LSR Voting Common Stock. Awards granted under the LSR
2001 Equity  Incentive Plan are generally not assignable or transferable  except
pursuant to a will and by operation of law.

The flexible terms of the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive Plan are intended to, among
other things, permit the stock option committee to impose performance conditions
with respect to any award,  thereby  requiring  forfeiture of all or part of any
award  if   performance   objectives   are  not  met  or  linking  the  time  of
exercisability  or  settlement  of an award  to the  attainment  of  performance
conditions.  For awards intended to qualify as "performance-based  compensation"
within the meaning of Section 162 (m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code
such  performance  objectives  shall be based  solely  on (i)  annual  return on
capital;  (ii) annual  earnings or earnings  per share;  (iii)  annual cash flow
provided by operations; (iv) changes in annual revenues; (v) stock price; and/or
(vi) strategic business criteria,  consisting of one or more objectives based on
meeting specified revenue,  market  penetration,  geographic  business expansion
goals, cost targets, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.

LSR's  Compensation  Committee,  which administers the 2001 LSR Equity Incentive
Plan,  has the  authority,  among other  things,  to: (i) select the  directors,
officers and other  employees and  independent  contractors  entitled to receive
awards under the 2001 LSR Equity  Incentive  Plan;  (ii)  determine  the form of
awards,  or combinations of awards,  and whether such awards are to operate on a
tandem basis or in conjunction with other awards;  (iii) determine the number of
shares of LSR Voting  Common Stock or units or rights  covered by an award;  and
(iv) determine the terms and conditions of any awards granted under the 2001 LSR
Equity  Incentive Plan,  including any  restrictions or limitations on transfer,
any vesting schedules or the acceleration of vesting  schedules,  any forfeiture
provision or waiver of the same and including any terms and conditions necessary
or desirable to ensure the optimal tax result for  participating  personnel  and
the  Company  including  by way of example to ensure that there is no tax on the
grant of the rights and that such tax only  arises on the  exercise of rights or
otherwise when the LSR Voting Common Stock  unconditionally  vests and is at the
disposal of such participating  personnel. The exercise price at which shares of
LSR Voting Common Stock may be purchased  pursuant to the grant of stock options
under the 2001 LSR Equity Incentive Plan is to be determined by the Compensation
Committee at the time of grant in its discretion,  which discretion includes the
ability  to set an  exercise  price that is below the fair  market  value of the
shares of LSR Voting Common Stock covered by such grant at the time of grant.

The  number  of  shares  of LSR  Voting  Common  Stock  that may be  subject  to
outstanding  awards granted under the 2001 LSR Equity Incentive Plan (determined
immediately  after the grant of any  award),  may not  exceed 20  percent of the
aggregate number of shares of LSR Voting Common Stock then outstanding.

The  2001  LSR  Equity  Incentive  Plan  may  be  amended,  altered,  suspended,
discontinued,  or  terminated  by the LSR Board  without LSR Common  Stockholder
approval  unless such  approval is  required by law or  regulation  or under the
rules of any stock  exchange or automated  quotation  system on which LSR Voting
Common Stock is then listed or quoted.  Thus,  LSR Common  Stockholder  approval
will not necessarily be required for  amendments,  which might increase the cost
of the plan or broaden eligibility.  LSR Common Stockholder approval will not be
deemed to be required  under laws or regulations  that  condition  favorable tax
treatment on such approval,  although the LSR Board may, in its discretion, seek
LSR Common  Stockholder  approval  in any  circumstances  in which it deems such
approval advisable.

LSR made  grants  under the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive  Plan on March 1, 2002 to
certain directors as of that date, and employees,  including the Named Executive
Officers:

Richard Michaelson                           90,000

All such options have  ten-year  terms;  50% of the shares  subject to grant are
immediately  exercisable  with the remaining 50%  exercisable one year after the
grant date (meaning all such options, fully vested as of March 1, 2003); and all
have an exercise  price of $1.50 per share,  the price at which the Company sold
shares  of  Common  Stock in the  Private  Placement.  Options  to  purchase  an
aggregate of 1,177,000  shares of LSR Common Stock  (including  those  specified
above) were granted  during 2002 to employees  and  directors,  on the terms set
forth above, are listed below:

Date of Grant               Numbers Granted             Exercise Price

In 2003, options to purchase an aggregate of 11,000 shares of LSR Common Stock
were issued, all at an exercise price of $1.80, the market price at the date of
grant:

Huntingdon Life Sciences Group plc Stock Option Plan

Huntingdon  Life  Sciences  Group plc issued  options prior to December 31, 1997
pursuant to several stock option plans. However, the ability to exercise options
under all such  Huntingdon  plans  lapsed on March 26, 2002 in  connection  with
LSR's  acquisition of Huntingdon,  except for those granted under the Unapproved
Stock Option Plan (the  "Unapproved  Plan").  Under the  Unapproved  Plan,  some
options  technically remain outstanding.  However,  such options are exercisable
only for shares of  Huntingdon,  a 100% wholly owned  subsidiary of LSR, and are
therefore considered to have no value.

Other Option Grants

In addition to the options granted under the Share Option Plans, the Company has
issued options outside of the plans, pursuant to various employment,  consulting
and separation agreements.

Warrants

On October 9, 2001, on behalf of  Huntingdon,  LSR issued to Stephens Group Inc.
warrants  to  purchase  up to  704,425  shares of LSR Voting  Common  Stock at a
purchase  price of $1.50 per share.  Stephens Group Inc.  subsequently  sold the
warrants to independent  third parties.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any
time  and  will  expire  on  October  9,  2011.  These  warrants  arose  out  of
negotiations  regarding the  refinancing  of the bank loan by the Stephens Group
Inc.,  (Stephens'  Loan) in January 2001. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14,
Accounting for  Convertible  Debt and Debt Issued with Stock  Purchase  Warrants
("APB 14") the warrants  were recorded at their pro rata fair values in relation
to the proceeds received on the date of issuance.  As a result, the value of the
warrants was $430,000.

On June 11, 2002 LSR issued to FHP warrants to purchase up to 410,914  shares of
LSR Voting Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. The LSR warrants
are  exercisable  at any time and will expire on June 11, 2012.  These  warrants
arose out of  negotiations  regarding  the  provision  of the $2.9  million loan
facility made  available to the Company on September 25, 2000 by Mr. Baker,  who
controls FHP. In  accordance  with APB 14 the loan and warrants were recorded at
their pro rata fair values in relation to the  proceeds  received.  As a result,
the value of the warrants was $250,000.

On October 24, 2003, 100,000 warrants were issued at the market price on the day
of $2.05. These warrants were issued to an independent  consultant in connection
with financial advice.

A summary of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2003 is as follows:

12.     EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Prior to December 31, 2002, the Company  operated the  Huntingdon  Life Sciences
Pension and Life  Assurance  Scheme (the "HLS Defined  Benefit  Pension Plan") a
funded pension plan providing  benefits,  based on final pensionable salary, for
certain  Company  employees  in the UK. The Plan had been closed to new entrants
from April 5, 1997 and as of December 31 2002, the accumulation of plan benefits
of employees  in the plan was  permanently  suspended,  and  therefore,  the HLS
Defined Benefit Pension Plan was curtailed. This suspension of benefits resulted
in a gain on curtailment  of $8.41 million at December 31, 2002,  which has been
recorded as a reduction of the Company's unrecognized net actuarial loss.

The  components  of the net  periodic  benefit  cost of the HLS Defined  Benefit
Pension Plan for the years ended December 31, are as follows:

On April 6, 1997 the Company established a defined  contribution plan, the Group

contribution  plan (401-K plan) is also  available  for employees in the US. The
retirement benefit expense for these plans for the year ended December 31, 2003,
2002 and 2001 were $2.5 million, $1.3 million and $1.3million respectively.

13.     GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

During each of the years ended  December  31, 2003,  2002 and 2001,  the Company
operated  from within two segments  based on  geographical  markets,  the United
Kingdom and the United States. The Company had one continuing activity, Contract
Research, throughout these periods.

The  accounting  policies  of the  operating  segments  are the  same  as  those
described  in the  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies.  Transactions
between segments, which are immaterial, are carried out on an arms-length basis.
Interest  income,  interest expense and income taxes are also not reported on an
operating  segment  basis  because they are not  considered  in the  performance
evaluation by the Company's chief operating decision-maker.

Geographical segment information is as follows:

                                              US           UK         Total

15.     OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Share purchase loan

Brian Cass,  President and Managing  Director of LSR, acquired 400,000 shares of
LSR Common Stock in the Private Placement. Mr. Cass acquired such shares through
the delivery of two promissory  notes.  Both such promissory  notes, each in the
amount of (pound)211,679 ($377,995), are due on March 28, 2007; bear interest at
the rate of 5% per annum;  and are secured by the  200,000  shares of LSR Common
Stock  purchased  with the  proceeds  of each  such  loan.  The due date of each
promissory note would be accelerated if Mr. Cass  voluntarily  resigned from his
employment  with LSR or had his employment  terminated.  Repayment of one of the
promissory notes will be made by automatic deduction of (pound)44,000  ($78,571)
per year from the (pound)66,000 ($117,856) per year pension contribution made by
the Company to a pension plan established by Mr. Cass. The other note is further
collateralized by the (pound)214,500 ($383,033) accrued in such pension account.
In addition,  one-third of any yearly bonus received by Mr. Cass will be used to
reduce  principal  of the  promissory  notes.  Total  amount  of this loan as of
December 31, 2003 is  (pound)370,082  ($660,855)  at year-end  foreign  exchange
rates).

Julian  Griffiths,  a former  director  of LSR and current  Finance  Director of
Huntingdon, acquired 50,000 shares of LSR Common Stock in the Private Placement.
Mr. Griffiths  acquired such shares through the delivery of a promissory note in
the principal amount of (pound)52,817 ($94,315), which is due on March 28, 2007;
bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum;  and is secured by the 50,000 shares
of LSR Common  Stock  purchased  with the  proceeds  of the loan.  This loan was
totally repaid during 2003.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

LSR 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the "LSR 2001 Equity Incentive Plan")

The LSR Board has adopted the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive  Plan.  Adoption of the
LSR 2001  Equity  Incentive  Plan  enables LSR to use stock  options  (and other
stock-based  awards) as a means to attract,  retain and motivate key  personnel.
This stock option plan is approved by the shareholders.

Awards  under the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive  Plan may be granted by a committee
designated  by the LSR  Board  pursuant  to the  terms  of the LSR  2001  Equity
Incentive  Plan and may  include:  (I) options to purchase  shares of LSR Voting
Common Stock,  including  incentive stock options ("ISOs"),  non-qualified stock
options or both; (ii) stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), whether in conjunction
with  the  grant  of  stock  options  or  independent  of such  grant,  or stock
appreciation  rights  that  are only  exercisable  in the  event of a change  in
control or upon other events;  (iii)  restricted stock consisting of shares that
are subject to  forfeiture  based on the  failure to satisfy  employment-related
restrictions;  (iv) deferred stock,  representing the right to receive shares of
stock in the future;  (v) bonus  stock and awards in lieu of cash  compensation;
(vi) dividend equivalents,  consisting of a right to receive cash, other awards,
or other  property  equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified
number of shares of LSR Voting Common Stock or other periodic payments; or (vii)
other awards not  otherwise  provided for, the value of which are based in whole
or in part upon the value of the LSR Voting Common Stock.  Awards  granted under
the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive Plan are generally not assignable or transferable
except pursuant to a will and by operation of law.

The flexible terms of the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive Plan are intended to, among
other things, permit the stock option committee to impose performance conditions
with respect to any award,  thereby  requiring  forfeiture of all or part of any
award  if   performance   objectives   are  not  met  or  linking  the  time  of
exercisability  or  settlement  of an award  to the  attainment  of  performance
conditions.  For awards intended to qualify as "performance-based  compensation"
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the United States Internal  Revenue Code
such  performance  objectives  shall be based  solely  on (I)  annual  return on
capital;  (ii) annual  earnings or earnings  per share;  (iii)  annual cash flow
provided by operations; (iv) changes in annual revenues; (v) stock price; and/or
(vi) strategic business criteria,  consisting of one or more objectives based on
meeting specified revenue,  market  penetration,  geographic  business expansion
goals, cost targets, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.

LSR's  stock  option  committee,  which  will  administer  the 2001  LSR  Equity
Incentive Plan, will have the authority,  among other things, to: (I) select the
directors,  officers and other employees and independent contractors entitled to
receive awards under the 2001 LSR Equity Incentive Plan; (ii) determine the form
of awards, or combinations of awards,  and whether such awards are to operate on
a tandem basis or in conjunction  with other awards;  (iii) determine the number
of shares of LSR Voting Common Stock or units or rights covered by an award; and
(iv) determine the terms and conditions of any awards granted under the 2001 LSR
Equity  Incentive Plan,  including any  restrictions or limitations on transfer,
any vesting schedules or the acceleration of vesting  schedules,  any forfeiture
provision or waiver of the same and including any terms and conditions necessary
or desirable to ensure the optimal tax result for  participating  personnel  and
the  Company  including  by way of example to ensure that there is no tax on the
grant of the rights and that such tax only  arises on the  exercise of rights or
otherwise when the LSR Voting Common Stock  unconditionally  vests and is at the
disposal of such participating  personnel. The exercise price at which shares of
LSR Voting Common Stock may be purchased  pursuant to the grant of stock options
under the 2001 LSR  Equity  Incentive  Plan is to be  determined  by the  option
committee at the time of grant in its discretion,  which discretion includes the
ability  to set an  exercise  price that is below the fair  market  value of the
shares of LSR Voting Common Stock covered by such grant at the time of grant.

The  number  of  shares  of LSR  Voting  Common  Stock  that may be  subject  to
outstanding  awards granted under the 2001 LSR Equity Incentive Plan (determined
immediately  after the  grant of any  award)  may not  exceed 20 per cent of the
aggregate number of shares of LSR Voting Common Stock then outstanding.

The  2001  LSR  Equity  Incentive  Plan  may  be  amended,  altered,  suspended,
discontinued,  or  terminated  by  the  LSR  Board  without  LSR  Voting  Common
Stockholder  approval  unless such  approval is required by law or regulation or
under the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which LSR
Voting  Common  Stock  is  then  listed  or  quoted.  Thus,  LSR  Voting  Common
Stockholder  approval will not  necessarily  be required for  amendments,  which
might  increase the cost of the plan or broaden  eligibility.  LSR Voting Common
Stockholder approval will not be deemed to be required under laws or regulations
that condition favorable tax treatment on such approval,  although the LSR Board
may,  in its  discretion,  seek LSR Voting  Common  Stockholder  approval in any
circumstances in which it deems such approval advisable.

No awards were  granted  during 2001  pursuant to the 2001 LSR Equity  Incentive
Plan. The LSR Board has designated  the  Compensation  Committee of the Board to
serve as the stock option committee.

LSR made  grants  under the LSR 2001 Equity  Incentive  Plan on March 1, 2002 to
certain directors as of that date, and employees,  including the Named Executive
Officers:

have an exercise  price of $1.50 per share,  the price at which the Company sold
shares  of  Common  Stock in the  Private  Placement.  Options  to  purchase  an

above) were granted in 2002 to employees and  directors,  on the terms set forth
above, are listed below:

Huntingdon Life Sciences Group plc Stock Option Plans

Huntingdon  Life  Sciences  Group plc issued  options prior to December 31, 1997
pursuant to several stock option plans. However, the ability to exercise options
under all such  Huntingdon  plans  lapsed on March 26, 2002 in  connection  with
LSR's  acquisition of Huntingdon,  except for those granted under the Unapproved
Stock Option Plan (the  "Unapproved  Plan").  Under the  Unapproved  Plan,  some
options  technically remain outstanding.  However,  such options are exercisable
only for shares of  Huntingdon,  a 100% wholly owned  subsidiary  of LSR, and as
such are considered to have no value.

Other Option Grants

In addition to the options granted under the Share Option Plans, the Company has
issued options outside of the plans, pursuant to various employment,  consulting
and separation agreements.

Warrants

On October 9, 2001, on behalf of  Huntingdon,  LSR issued to Stephens Group Inc.
warrants  to  purchase  up to  704,425  shares of LSR Voting  Common  Stock at a
purchase  price of $1.50 per share.  Stephens Group Inc.  subsequently  sold the
warrants to independent  third parties.  The LSR warrants are exercisable at any
time  and  will  expire  on  October  9,  2011.  These  warrants  arose  out  of
negotiations  regarding the  refinancing  of the bank loan by the Stephens Group
Inc.,  (Stephens'  Loan) in January 2001. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14,
Accounting for  Convertible  Debt and Debt Issued with Stock  Purchase  Warrants
("APB 14") the warrants  were recorded at their pro rata fair values in relation
to the proceeds received on the date of issuance.  As a result, the value of the
warrants was $430,000.

On June 11, 2002 LSR issued to FHP warrants to purchase up to 410,914  shares of
LSR Voting Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. The LSR warrants
are  exercisable  at any time and will expire on June 11, 2012.  These  warrants
arose out of  negotiations  regarding  the  provision  of the $2.9  million loan
facility made  available to the Company on September 25, 2000 by Mr. Baker,  who
controls FHP. In  accordance  with APB 14 the loan and warrants were recorded at
their pro rata fair values in relation to the  proceeds  received.  As a result,
the value of the warrants was $250,000.

On October 24, 2003, 100,000 warrants were issued at the market price on the day
of $2.05. These warrants were issued to an independent  consultant in connection
with financial advice.

A summary of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2003 is as follows:

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

(1)  A $2,910,800  ((pound)2,000,000)  facility  has been made  available to the
     Company on September 25, 2000 by a director, Mr. Baker. This had been drawn
     down in full. The loan was repayable on demand, although it was subordinate
     to the bank loan, it was  unsecured  and interest was payable  monthly at a
     rate of 10% per annum.  By  Amendment  No. 2 to that loan  facility,  dated
     March 20,  2001,  FHP became  party to the loan and  $550,000 of the amount
     loaned  was  transferred  to FHP.  On March 28,  2002 $2.1  million  of Mr.
     Baker's loan was converted into 1,400,000 shares of LSR Voting Common Stock
     and $300,000 of FHP's loan was converted  into 200,000 shares of LSR Voting
     Common  Stock.  The remaining  principal  amounts were repaid in full to Mr
     Baker and FHP, respectively, in 2002.

(2)  On January 20, 2001 the  Company's  bank loan was  refinanced by means of a
     loan from HLSF,  LLC a  subsidiary  company of the  Stephens  Group Inc., a
     related  party at the time,  and the other two banks  that were part of the
     original  loan  syndicate.  That  loan was  transferred  to  another  party
     effective February 11, 2002. The loan is now repayable on June 30, 2006 and
     interest is payable in quarterly breaks at a rate of "LIBOR" plus 1.75% per
     annum.  The  loan is  secured  by  guarantees  from  LSR,  Inc.,  LSR  Ltd,
     Huntingdon  Life  Sciences  Limited  and  Huntingdon  Life  Sciences  Inc.,
     collateralized by all the assets of those companies.

(3)  In accordance  with the terms of a facility  agreement  dated July 19, 2001
     and as amended on October 5, 2001, the Stephens Group Inc. made  $2,910,800
     ((pound)2,000,000)  available to the  Company,  which was  available  for a
     period of one year from July 19 2001.  That loan was transferred to another
     party  effective  February  11,  2002.  This  amount,  which is secured and
     subordinated to the bank debt, was drawn down in full. Interest was payable
     monthly at a rate of 10% per annum.  With the  consent of the bank  lender,
     one half of the facility was repaid on July 1, 2002,  and the remainder was
     repaid on October 1, 2002.

(4)  In October  2001 the  Company  issued to Stephen  Group  Inc.,  warrants to
     purchase up to 704,425 shares of Common Voting Stock at a purchase price of
     $1.50 per share.  These warrants  arose out of the  refinancing of the bank
     loan by the  Stephens  Group  Inc.  in January  2001.  These  warrants  are
     exercisable  at any time and will expire on October 9, 2011.  The  warrants
     were subsequently transferred to an unrelated third party.

     In  addition  at the  June  11,  2002  shareholders  meeting,  shareholders
     approved the  issuance to FHP of warrants to purchase up to 410,914  shares
     of  Common  Voting  Stock at a  purchase  price of $1.50 per  share.  These
     warrants  arose  out  of  negotiations   regarding  the  provision  of  the
     $2,910,800  ((pound)2,000,000)  loan facility made available to the Company
     on  September  25,  2000 by Mr.  Baker who  controls  FHP.

(5)  Brian Cass, President and Managing Director of LSR, acquired 400,000 shares
     of LSR Common Stock in the Private Placement. Mr. Cass acquired such shares
     through the delivery of two promissory  notes.  Both such promissory notes,
     each in the amount of (pound)211,679 ($377,995), are due on March 28, 2007;
     bear  interest at the rate of 5% per annum;  and are secured by the 200,000
     shares of LSR Common Stock  purchased  with the proceeds of each such loan.
     The due date of each  promissory  note  would be  accelerated  if Mr.  Cass
     voluntarily  resigned from his  employment  with LSR or had his  employment
     terminated.  Repayment  of one of the  promissory  notes  will  be  made by
     automatic   deduction  of   (pound)44,000   ($78,571)  per  year  from  the
     (pound)66,000  ($117,856) per year pension contribution made by the Company
     to a pension  plan  established  by Mr.  Cass.  The other  note is  further
     collateralized  by the  (pound)214,500  ($383,033)  accrued in such pension
     account.  In addition,  one-third of any yearly bonus  received by Mr. Cass
     will be used to reduce principal of the promissory  notes.  Total amount of
     this loan as of December 31, 2003 is  (pound)370,082  ($660,855 at year-end
     foreign exchange rates).

(6)  Julian Griffiths,  a former director of LSR and current Finance Director of
     Huntingdon,  acquired  50,000  shares of LSR  Common  Stock in the  Private
     Placement.  Mr.  Griffiths  acquired such shares  through the delivery of a
     promissory note in the principal amount of (pound)52,817  ($94,315),  which
