This excerpt taken from the BLUD 10-K filed Sep 7, 2007. Foreign
Currency RiskFluctuations in foreign exchange rates,
principally with the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro, Canadian Dollar and Japanese
Yen, could impact our operating results. It has not been our practice to
actively hedge our foreign subsidiaries assets or liabilities denominated in
local currencies.
Operating income generated outside the United States as a percentage of total operating income was 11% in 2007, 10% in 2006 and 15% in 2005. In fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, we recorded foreign currency translation gains of $1.1 million, $2.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During these years the foreign currency transaction gains were negligible. In fiscal 2007, a 7% increase compared to fiscal 2006 in the U.S.-Euro weighted average exchange rate increased net sales and net income by approximately $2.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In the case of the U.S. Dollar versus the Canadian Dollar, a 3% increase in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 in the weighted average exchange rate increased net sales and net income by approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. A 10% change in the year-to-date weighted average Euro exchange rate would have had the effect of increasing or decreasing net sales and net income by approximately $4.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. A 10% change in the year-to-date weighted average Canadian Dollar exchange rate would 38 have had the effect of increasing or decreasing net sales and net income by approximately $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

This excerpt taken from the BLUD 10-K filed Aug 1, 2006. Foreign
Currency Risk. Operating income generated
outside the United States as a percentage of total operating income was 10% in
2006, 15% in 2005 and 5% in 2004. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,
principally with the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro, Canadian Dollar and Japanese
Yen, could impact our operating results. It has not been the Companys practice
to actively hedge its foreign subsidiaries assets or liabilities denominated
in local currency. During fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, the Companys
exposure to foreign currency exchange risk increased slightly with the purchase
of Immucor-Kainos, Inc.,
37 the Companys new subsidiary which had financial instruments of approximately $3.2 million at May 31, 2006. Also, future payment obligations totaling $5.1 million related to the acquisition of Immucor-Kainos are denominated in Japanese Yen, and are therefore subject to foreign currency exchange risk. In 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $1,000, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively; and foreign currency translation gains of $2.3 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In fiscal 2006, a 5% decrease compared to fiscal 2005 in the U.S.-Euro weighted average exchange rate decreased net sales and net income by approximately $1.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively. A 10% change in the year-to-date weighted average Euro exchange rate would have had the effect of increasing or decreasing net sales and net income by approximately $3.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In case of U.S.-Canadian Dollar, a 7% increase in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005 in the weighted average exchange rate increased net sales and net income by approximately $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. A 10% change in the year-to-date weighted average Canadian Dollar exchange rate would have had the effect of increasing or decreasing net sales and net income by approximately $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
