<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">Mesa purchased only the <font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">Hygiene Monitoring business from BAG and as a result, the sale and service of their other business divisions will continue as normal and are not affected in any way by the acquisition of the Hygiene Monitoring business.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;"><font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">The Hygiene Monitoring business markets, distributes and services biological, cleaning and chemical indicators, as well as a range of infection prevention products sold into the same Central Sterile Supply customers. The business will be integrated into Mesa&rsquo;s Sterilization and Disinfection Control Division, further deepening Mesa&rsquo;s presence in Germany and Eastern Europe. The acquisition is expected to increase division revenues by approximately seven percent and to be accretive to our diluted net income per share in the first twelve months following the acquisition.</font></p>

These processes are concentrated in the hospital, dental, medical device and pharmaceutical industries. </font></p>

We look forward to enhancing our direct commercial presence in Europe, expanding our participation in the hospital segment and serving new applications in sterilization and disinfection control&rdquo; stated Gary Owens, President and CEO of Mesa Laboratories. </font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">This press release may contain information that constitutes &quot;forward-looking statements.&quot; Generally, the words &quot;believe,&quot; <font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">&ldquo;estimate,&rdquo; &quot;expect,&quot; &quot;project,&quot; &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;intend,&rdquo; &quot;will&quot; and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future &mdash; including statements relating to revenue growth and statements expressing general views about future operating results &mdash; are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and present expectations or projections.
