INTRODUCTION

At the request of Cryopak Corporation,  Inchcape Testing Services/Warnock Hersey
has  conducted a  temperature  study on salmon  packaged in styrofoam  boxes for
overseas  shipment.  Five separate tests were conducted for a period of up to 48
hours with constant temperature monitoring.

The purpose of the study was to  determine  the optimum  combination  of cooling
packs, placement aud number of cooling packs and ambient temperature to keep the
packages under 55 degrees F.  Parameters set by Cryopak were: 55 degrees F or 48
hours, whichever came first.

Each  scenario  utilized  six  thermocouples  in the  centre of each face of the
styrofoam box. The the thermocouples were placed on the internal surface of each
face.

Note:Thermocouple  #6 was  placed at the bottom of each box and  represents  the
     temperature of the fish.

The five test scenarios were as follows.

Test #1

Ambient temperature:                73.4 degrees F
Test condition:                     1 Cryomat on top of fish

Test # 2

Ambient temperature:                73.4 degrees F
Test condition:                     2 Cryomat on top of fish

Test #3

Ambient temperature:                73.4 degrees F
Test condition:                     2 Cryomats on top of fish, 1 Cryomat on
                                    bottom

INTRODUCTION - Continued

Test # 4

Ambient temperature:                73.4 degrees F
Test condition:                     1 Crypack at each end of fish

Test # 5

Ambient temperature:                50 degrees F
Test condition.                     2 Cryomats on top of fish

PRODUCT TESTED

Cryomat Thermal Ice Blanket - 16.5 inch x 8.5 inch

Solution  consists of:  Neutral PH distilled  and/or  deiodized  water and other
materials certified by the USFDA and Canadian Agriculture accepted as food grade
chemicals.

Typical Gelpacks.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION

Test #3 was found to be the optimum  combination  as shown on the  corresponding
graph. The time taken to reach 55 degrees F was 30 hours.

Test #5 was  conducted at an ambient  temperature  of 50 degrees F and therefore
would not  realistically  be  expected to reach 55 degrees F. After 24 hours the
temperature  of the fish was 40  degrees  F, which is a rise of 3 degrees F from
test initiation.

One of the  gelpacks  of Test #4 was  still  partially  frozen  after  48  hours
although thermocouple #6 had attained a temperature of 60 degrees F.

                            1 Cryomat on top of Fish

The actual graph is too complex to be  electronically  reproduced,  but has been
submitted in paper format to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Graph depicts range of temperatures at 20 degree  intervals from 0 to 80 degrees
F and times in 5 hour intervals from 0 to 25 hours for ambient and for following
parts of box: lid, back, front, left side, right side, and bottom. Ambient marks
are fairly constant line about two-thirds of the way between the 60 degree F and
80 degree F marks.  Back of box marks  start about 3/4 of the way between 20 and
40 degrees,  drop down slightly at the second mark and then curve upward,  first
gradually  to about 40  degrees F at the 5 hour mark and  ending up about 3/4 of
the way to 60 degrees F at the 20 hour mark.  Front of box marks start  slightly
above 40  degrees F and slops  upward to about 3/4 of the way to 60 degrees F at
20 hours.  Left side of box marks  start  slightly  below 40  degrees F and stay
fairly constant for the first five hours,  then slope upwards (first  gradually,
then slightly  more  steeply),  ending at about 50 degrees F at 20 hours.  Right
side of box marks  start  about 1/3 of the way  between  40 and 60 degrees F and
stay fairly constant for the first five hours,  then jump up to about 50 degrees
F suddenly and slope gradually upwards,  ending at just above 60 degrees F at 20
hours.  Bottom of the box marks  start  about 4/5 of the way  between  20 and 40
degrees F and curve  very  gradually  to just  above 40 degrees F at the 15 hour
mark, then more dramatically, ending up about half-way between 40 and 60 degrees
F at the 20 hour mark.

The actual graph is too complex to be  electronically  reproduced,  but has been
submitted in paper format to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Graph depicts range of temperatures at 20 degree  intervals from 0 to 80 degrees
F and times in 5 hour intervals from 0 to 25 hours for ambient and for following
parts of box: lid, back, front, left side, right side, and bottom. Ambient marks
are  slighly  wavering  but mostly  constant  line about  two-thirds  of the way
between  the 60 degree F and 80 degree F marks.  Lid of box marks start at about
30 degrees  F, jump up to about 3/4 of the way  between 20 and 40 degrees F just
before the five hour mark,  climb slowly up to about 40 degrees F just after the
10 hour mark, curve sharply up to about 1/3 of the way between 40 and 60 degrees
F at about  half-way  between 10 and 15 hours and then  curve more  slowly up to
about 3/4 of the way  between  40 and 60  degrees F at just  before  the 25 hour
mark.  Back of box marks start at just above 40 degrees F and curve slowly up to
about 1/3 of the way between 40 and 60 degrees F at the 10 hour mark, then curve
more  steeply,  ending  up 3/4 of the way  between  40 and 60  degrees F at just
before the 25 hour mark.  The front of box marks start at the 40 degree mark and
stay there  until just past the 5 hour  mark,  then climb up slowly;  reaching a
point just under 3/4 of the way  between 40 and 60 degrees F at just  before the
25 hour mark.  The marks for the left and right sides of the box both start just
above 20 degrees F and almost immediately climb up to about half way between the
20 and 40 degree F marks,  where they  remain  constant  until just after the 10
hour point,  at which time the left side marks climb steadily until they reach a
point  about 4/5 of the way  between the 40 and 60 degree F marks at just before
25 hours,  while the right side marks stay half way  between 20 and 40 degrees F
until just  before the 15 hour  point,  at which time they curve  sharply up and
rejoin the left side  marks,  ending at a point about 4/5 of the way between the
40 and 60 degree F marks at just  before 25 hours.  The  bottom of the box marks
start  just  above 40  degrees F and drop  sharply  down to about 2/3 of the way
between 20 and 40 degrees F at just before the 5 hour mark, then climb gradually
upward,  ending at about half way between 40 and 60 degrees F at just before the
25 hour mark.

                  2 Cryomat on top of Fish, 1 Cryomat on Bottom

The actual graph is too complex to be  electronically  reproduced,  but has been
submitted in paper format to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Graph depicts range of temperatures at 20 degree  intervals from 0 to 80 degrees
F and  times  in 10  hour  intervals  from 0 to 40  hours  for  ambient  and for
following  parts of box: lid, back,  front,  left side,  right side, and bottom.
Ambient marks are wavering more dramatically than in the previous tests, but are
still a mostly constant line about two-thirds of the way between the 60 degree F
and 80 degree F marks.  Lid of box marks  start about 1/4 of the way between the
20 and 40 degree F marks, immediately climbs to about half way between these two
marks,  where they  remain  until just over 1/3 of the way  between the 0 and 10
hour marks,  then jumps  slightly to just above the  previous  marks and remains
there until half way between 10 and 20 hours  before  climbing  sharply to about
1/4 of the way between 40 and 60 degrees F at the 20 hour mark and ending  about
2/3 of the way between these two marks at 30 hours. Back of box marks start just
above the half way mark between 20 and 40 degrees F,  immediately  make a slight
dip and then curve gradually upward, arriving at the 40 degrees F mark about 3/4
of the way  between  10 and 20  hours,  where it joins the back of box marks and
ends up 2/3 of the way  between 40 and 60  degrees F at the 30 hour  mark.  Left
side marks start  about half way  between 20 and 40 degrees F and curve  sharply
upwards, reaching 40 degrees F about 1/4 of the way between 0 and 10 hours, then
taper off to a slow  climb,  ending up about  1/4 of the way  between  60 and 80
degrees F at 30 hours.  Right  side  marks  start  approximately  1/4 of the way
between  20 and 40 degrees F and  immediately  start to curve  sharply  upwards,
before  tapering  off at just above half way between 20 and 40 degrees F at half
way between 0 and 10 hours,  then rising very gradually to just above this point
at the 10 hour mark, then very steeply, ending up at 60 degrees F at the 30 hour
mark.  Bottom marks start just under half-way  between 20 and 40 degrees F, then
jump to just over  half-way  between  these two  temperatures  at about half way
between 0 and 10 hours,  remaining  there  until about 2/3 of the way between 10
and 20 hours, at which point they climb sharply up to end 2/3 of the way between
40 and 60 degrees at the 30 hour mark.

                          1 Gel Pack at each End of Box

The actual graph is too complex to be  electronically  reproduced,  but has been
submitted in paper format to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Graph depicts range of temperatures at 20 degree  intervals from 0 to 80 degrees
F and  times  in 10  hour  intervals  from 0 to 30  hours  for  ambient  and for
following  parts of box: lid, back,  front,  left side,  right side, and bottom.
Ambient marks are a mostly constant line about two-thirds of the way between the
60 degree F and 80 degree F marks. Lid marks start about half way between 40 and
60  degrees F and rise  constantly  but very  gradually,  ending  just  under 60
degrees F at about  3/4 of the way  between  20 and 30 hours.  Back of box marks
start  about  2/3 of the way  between  40 and 60  degrees  F and rise  even more
gradually  merging into the lid marks about half way between 10 and 20 hours and
ending  just under 60 degrees F at about 3/4 of the way between 20 and 30 hours.
Front of box marks start just above those for the lid and merge into them almost
immediately,  following  the same  path to the end of the lid  marks.  Left side
marks start just under the 40 degree F mark and rise  immediately  to just above
the 40 degree mark,  where they remain  constant  until just after 20 hours,  at
which  point they rise  sharply,  ending  about 3/4 of the way between 40 and 60
degrees F at about 3/4 of the way  between  20 and 30 hours.  Right  side  marks
start  slightly  above 20 degrees F and climb sharply up to about 3/4 of the way
between  20 and 40  degrees  F at about  1/4 of the way  between 0 and 10 hours,
remaining  constantly  at this  temperature  until the end just before 30 hours.
Bottom of box marks  start  just above 20 degrees F, jump up to about 3/4 of the
way between 20 and 40 degrees F about 1/4 of the way between 0 and 10 hours, and
remain  their  constantly  until  the end of the  test at  about  3/4 of the way
between 20 and 30 hours.

                                     TEST 5
                    2 Cryomats on Top of Fish at 50 F Ambient

The actual graph is too complex to be  electronically  reproduced,  but has been
submitted in paper format to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Graph depicts range of temperatures at 5 degree  intervals from 30 to 55 degrees
F and  times  in 10  hour  intervals  from 0 to 30  hours  for  ambient  and for
following  parts of box: lid, back,  front,  left side,  right side, and bottom.
Ambient temperature varies wildly but systematically:  starting about 1/4 of the
way  between 45 and 50 degrees F, jumps up to 2/3 of the way  between  these two
temperatures, then back down to the 45 degree F mark, then back up to 4/5 of the
way to 50  degrees,  then back down to about  1/4 of the way  between  45 and 50
degrees,  then back up a little  closer to 50, then dropping all the way down to
40  degrees  F just past the half way mark  between  0 and 10  hours,  with this
pattern repeating again in a series of six small jump/plunge combinations before
another  large plunge down to 40 degrees F just before the 20 hour mark and then
four more jumps and plunges  before the test end about 3/4 of the way between 20
and 30 hours.  Lid of box starts half way between 30 and 35 degrees F and climbs
almost  immediately to 35 degrees F, where it stays near constant (just wavering
slightly up and down)  until  about 2/3 of the way  between 10 and 20 hours,  at
which time it climbs suddenly up til it reaches about half way between 40 and 45
degrees  F at test  end.  Back of box  starts  just  below  40  degrees,  climbs
immediately  to just  above  this  mark and  then  back to just  above  where it
started,  repeating  this  pattern of climbing to just above  previous  high and
dropping down to just above previous low consistently until it ends about 2/3 of
the way  between 40 and 45 degrees at test end.  Front of box marks  start about
2/3 of the way between 35 and 40 degrees and stay there constantly,  with just a
slight waver,  until about 2/3 of the way between 10 and 20 hours, at which time
they climb  gradually  to about 1/3 of the way between 40 and 45 degrees at test
end. Left side,  right side,  and bottom box marks are all  clustered  together,
starting out half-way between 35 and 40 degrees F, curving downward to about 1/3
of the way  between  those two  temperatures,  where they  remain  constant  but
wavering until about the 20 hour mark, then climb slowly, with the left side and
bottom  ending up about 2/3 of the way  between 35 and 40 degrees  and the right
side climbing  slightly more steeply and ending up just above the 40 degree mark
at test end.
