approximately 97% of its 2004 net operating revenues derived directly from providing dialysis services, of which 83% represented on-site dialysis services in approximately 547 centers that are wholly-owned or majority-owned. Gambro Healthcare&#146;s
other direct dialysis services, which are operationally integrated with Gambro Healthcare&#146;s center operations, relate to patient-performed peritoneal dialysis and acute treatments in hospitals. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">Gambro Healthcare&#146;s year-over-year treatment volume growth for 2004 was less than 1%, compared
with 4.4% and 5.5% for 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in Gambro Healthcare&#146;s treatment growth rate in 2004 was primarily due to its decision to focus on improving profitability levels, as well as the impact of divestitures in late
2003 and 2004. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">The percent of patients under government reimbursement programs to total

dollars, approximately 65% of Gambro Healthcare&#146;s total 2004 dialysis revenue is from government-based programs. Medicare reimbursements represent approximately 60% of Gambro Healthcare&#146;s 2004 dialysis revenue. A major portion of Gambro
Healthcare&#146;s commercial rates are contracted amounts with major payors and are subject to intense negotiation pressure. Over the past year, Gambro Healthcare has been successful in improving its average reimbursement rate in the aggregate for
patients with commercial plans, in addition to obtaining fee schedule increases. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"
SIZE="2">Approximately 40% of Gambro Healthcare&#146;s total 2004 dialysis revenue is associated with physician-prescribed pharmaceuticals. Changes in physician practice patterns and pharmaceutical protocols focused on improving clinical outcomes,
have accounted for a significant portion of the increase in Gambro Healthcare average revenue per treatment over the past three years. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">Gambro Healthcare&#146;s operating performance with respect to services charge capture billing and collecting can also be a significant factor in how much average revenue per
treatment is actually realized. Over the past several years, Gambro Healthcare has increased its focus on billing and collecting and processes to increase reliability, as well as compliance with federal and state regulations. Gambro

$267 in 2003 and $253 in 2002. These increases were principally due to increases in Gambro Healthcare&#146;s standard fee schedules (impacting non-contracted commercial revenue), changes in physician-prescribed pharmaceuticals, commercial contract
negotiations and continued improvements in Gambro Healthcare&#146;s focus on clinical outcomes revenue capture, billing and collecting operations, while maintaining a relatively stable mix of commercial patients and commercial rates. </FONT></P> <P

rates, vendor pricing of pharmaceuticals and business infrastructure costs. However, other cost categories can represent significant cost changes such as increased insurance costs experienced in 2003 and 2004. Gambro Healthcare&#146;s labor
efficiency has improved over the past two years primarily because of reduced employee turnover and improved staffing efficiencies. For the past three years, Gambro Healthcare has been able to negotiate relatively stable pharmaceutical pricing with
its vendors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">General and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue have

relating to the increasingly compromised medical conditions of the patients that are starting their dialysis treatments, and increases in commercial pricing. The average dialysis revenue per treatment for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $293. Gambro
Healthcare&#146;s mix of commercial patients remained relatively stable during 2004, while its commercial rates increased significantly as a result of increased focus on commercial contracting. Commercial patients and rates are major drivers of

subsidiaries as well as other persons and entities. The complaint requested unspecified damages and alleged a conspiracy to defraud the Medicare program by inappropriate billing for ambulance transportation services. Neither Gambro Healthcare, nor
any of its affiliates, owns or operates an ambulance transport company. Some of the additional defendants in the suit were four physicians who are independent contractors with respect to one or more of the defendant clinics, and two former Gambro
Healthcare employees. Several ambulance companies and one physician have settled with the plaintiffs in exchange for information. Discovery commenced at the end of 2000 and Gambro Healthcare has now produced over 100,000 documents to
plaintiffs&#146; counsel relating to the four defendant clinics and other clinics in the Atlanta, Georgia area that Gambro Healthcare asserts are the only clinics subject to the suit. The plaintiffs filed a Motion to Compel Discovery and for
Sanctions in May 2001. In November 2004, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted Gambro Healthcare&#146;s motion for summary judgment and subsequently issued an order dismissing the case. The relator has filed a notice
of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. If the relator is successful on appeal and a court determines that there has been wrongdoing, the penalties under applicable statutes could be substantial. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">On or about November 5, 2004, Gambro Healthcare and its subsidiary, Gambro Healthcare Laboratory Services, Inc. were served with
subpoenas from the United States Attorney&#146;s Office for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn to produce a wide variety of information and documentation about their business and operations and their laboratory testing for PTH and for
vitamin D dosing and reimbursement. The subpoenas are virtually identical. Other participants in the dialysis industry received a similar subpoena, including DaVita, Fresenius Medical Care and Renal Care Group. For the time being, the government has
agreed to limit the scope of Gambro Healthcare&#146;s document production to documents relating to the Gambro Healthcare&#146;s PTH testing methods, billing, vitamin D dosing and certain matters pertaining to its relationships with the suppliers of
vitamin D medications. We cannot predict whether legal proceedings will be initiated against Gambro Healthcare relating to this investigation or, if proceedings are initiated, the outcome of any such proceedings. If a court determines that there has
been wrongdoing, the penalties under applicable statutes could be substantial. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">An

material respects, the financial position of Gambro Healthcare US at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

government to resolve matters relating to Medicare and Medicaid compliance. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company recorded a charge during 2004 of approximately $350 million. Additionally, as described in Note 11, in 2004 the Company received a
subpoena from the US Attorney&#146;s Office for the Eastern District of New York related to certain aspects of its business with a particular focus on PTH lab testing and dosing of vitamin D. </FONT></P> <P

If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an additional procedure must be performed.
That additional procedure compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#146;s goodwill (as defined in SFAS No. 142) with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill

&#151; an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin</I> No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements to improve financial reporting of special purpose and other entities. In accordance with the interpretation, business enterprises that represent
the primary beneficiary of another entity by retaining a controlling financial interest in that entity&#146;s assets, liabilities, and results of operating activities must consolidate the entity in their financial statements. Prior to the issuance
of FIN 46, consolidation generally occurred when an enterprise controlled another entity through voting interests. Certain variable interest entities (&#147;VIEs&#148;) that are qualifying special purpose entities (&#147;QSPEs&#148;) subject to the
reporting requirements of SFAS No. 140, <I>Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities</I>, will not be required to be consolidated under the provisions of FIN 46. The consolidation provisions of FIN
46 apply to all VIEs created or entered into after January 31, 2003. Originally, the provisions of FIN 46 applied to all pre-existing VIEs in the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. In December of 2003, the FASB issued
Interpretation No. 46&#151;revised 2003 (FIN 46R). This deferred the effective date of the interpretation until the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003 for special purpose entities and until the first reporting period ending after
March 15, 2004 for all other entities. If applicable, transition rules allow the restatement of financial statements or prospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment. In addition, FIN 46 expands the disclosure requirements for the
beneficiary of a significant or a majority of the variable interests to provide information regarding the nature, purpose and financial characteristics of the entities. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material adverse impact on the
Company&#146;s financial statements or financial condition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">In December 2004, the

development expenditure, capital expenditure and working capital needs in the amount of $1,500,000 as amended effective November 15, 2004. The agreement expires on January 31, 2013. The agreement requires repayment of debt when the Company generates
net positive cash flows, and allows the Company to re-borrow at any time any unutilized amounts. Through September 30, 2004 the variable interest rate was determined based on the Parent&#146;s variable interest rates on its debt portfolio. On
September 30, 2004 the agreement was amended to determine interest based on the twelve-month LIBOR rate plus 1%. Prior to January 31, 2003 the Company had an informal line of credit agreement with its parent company with terms substantially the same
as the aforementioned agreement. The Company&#146;s average interest rate under the line of credit was 3.0%, 3.3%, and 4.4% the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. </FONT></P> <P

identical subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice, Eastern District of New York. The subpoenas request a wide range of documents relating to the operations of the subpoenaed entities. The subpoenas appear to be similar to the subpoenas
received in the same time period by several other companies in the dialysis industry in the U.S. However, the Company has agreed with the government to significantly narrow the subpoenas, at least for the time being, to issues relating only to
parathyroid hormone (PTH) testing and dosing of vitamin D. The subpoenas substantially overlap with the matters covered by the June 2001 subpoena from the U.S. Attorney&#146;s office in St. Louis, Missouri (see Note 16). The Company intends to
cooperate with the Department of Justice. The government has served no formal complaint or demand in connection with this subpoena and at this time management is not aware of any areas of potential exposure related to the areas being investigated.

Company. Grants under the plan are made at least annually and have a four-year term. The vesting period is one year and the exercise price is equivalent to 100% of the share price on the grant date as quoted on the OMX. There were 299,625, 467,000
and 431,091 SARs granted in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The weighted average share price at grant was 57.50 SEK, 51.85 SEK and 50.82 SEK in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The plan allows participants to exercise SARs throughout the year.
The exercise price is the closing share price as quoted on the OMX. Participants exercising SARs receive cash payments, calculated by taking the exercise price less the grant price for each SAR exercised. As of December 31, 2004, there are 274,500,
229,275 and 134,780 shares outstanding for each of the 2004, 2003 and 2002 programs, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

the amount of $2,975 and $420, respectively. There was no compensation expense recognized in 2002 because the option grant price was greater than the market closing price for all outstanding SARs. A total of 431,859 and 63,450 shares were exercised
in 2004 and 2003, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of 83.00 SEK and 60.14 SEK. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

participants selected annually. In accordance with US security laws participants must be classified as either accredited or non-accredited investors based on certain criteria. Accredited investors are eligible to receive shares upon exercise of

vesting period for the performance stock awards is such that 1/3 of the awards are earned if certain financial performance targets are met in the following fiscal year and the remaining 2/3 of the awards are earned if certain financial targets are
met in the following two fiscal years. The performance stock awards are increased or decreased dependent on over- or underachieving the financial performance targets. Performance stock awards are decreased pro-rata down to 50% of the original award
if actual performance is up to 20% below the financial targets. Performance stock awards are increased pro-rata up to 150% of the original award if actual performance is up to 20% above the financial targets. Unvested awards expire immediately if
employment is terminated. On April 14, 2004, a total of 179,260 performance stock awards and 179,260 restricted stock awards were granted to employees, all of which were outstanding at December 31, 2004. On April 14, 2003, a total of 242,575

approximately 40% of our average outstanding 2004 variable rate debt would be economically fixed at an effective weighted average interest rate of 5.71% and our overall credit facility effective weighted average interest rate for 2004 would be
