Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reportingand on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements

Performed in Accordance With GovernmentAuditing Standards

Battelle Memorial InstituteThe Board of Directors:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Battelle Memorial Institute and subsidiaries (Battelle) as ofand for the year ended September 30, 2006, and have issued our report thereon dated December 15, 2006. Weconducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and thestandards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the ComptrollerGeneral of the United States.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performingour audit, we considered Battelle's internal control over financial reporting in order todetermineour auditing proceduresfor the purposeof expressingour opinionon the consolidatedfinancialstatementsand not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internalcontrol over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might bematerial weaknesses.A materialweakness is a reportablecondition in which the design or operation of one or moreof the internal control componentsdoes not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatementscaused byerror or fraud in amountsthat would be material in relationto the consolidatedfinancialstatementsbeing audited mayoccur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assignedfunctions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that weconsider to be materialweaknesses.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Battelle's consolidated financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts,and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination ofconsolidated financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions wasnot an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosedno instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government AuditingStandards.

We noted certain matters that we report to management of Battelle in a separate letter.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit committee, management, federal awardingagencies and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than thesespecified parties.

Independent Auditors' Report on Compliance With RequirementsApplicable to Each Major Program and on Internal Control Over

Compliance in Accordance With OMB Circular A-133

Battelle Memorial InstituteThe Board of Directors:

Compliance

We have audited the compliance of Battelle Memorial Institute and subsidiaries (Battelle) with the types ofcompliance requirements described in the US. Office oj Management and Budget (OMB) CircularA-J33 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to its major federal program for the year endedSeptember 30, 2006. Battelle's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditors' resultssection of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirementsof laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its major federal program is the responsibility ofBattelle's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Battelle's compliance based on ouraudit.

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in theUnited States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government AuditingStandards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits ojStates, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-I33require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliancewith the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect ona major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about Battelle'scompliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary inthe circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit doesnot provide a legal determination on Battelle's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, Battelle complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that areapplicable to its major federal program for the year ended September 30, 2006. However, the results of ourauditing procedures disclosed instances of potential noncompliance with those requirements, which arerequired to be reported in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 and which are described in theaccompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as Finding 06-0 I.

Internal Control Over Compliance

The management of Battelle is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control overcompliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. Inplanning and performing our audit, we considered Battelle's internal control over compliance withrequirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determineour auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report onthe internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.

Page 5: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE AND … BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE AND SUBSIDIARIES OMB Circular A-B3 Single Audit Report September 30, 2006 (With Independent Auditors' Reports Thereon)

We noted certain matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we considerto be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating tosignificant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over compliance that, in ourjudgment, could adversely affect Battelle's ability to administer a major federal program in accordancewith the applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. Reportable conditions aredescribed in the accompany schedule of findings and questioned costs as Finding 06-01.

Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in theinternal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition in whichthe design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relativelylow level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, andgrants caused by error or fraud that would be material in relation to a major federal program being auditedmay occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performingtheir assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and itsoperation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Battelle as of and for the year endedSeptember 30, 2006, and have issued our report thereon dated December 15, 2006. Our audit wasperformed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additionalanalysis as required by OMB Circular A-l33 and is not a required part of the consolidated financialstatements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of theconsolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation tothe consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of Battelle Board of Directors, Battellemanagement, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be and shouldnot be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE

Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

September 30, 2006

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) summarizes the expendituresof Battelle Memorial Institute and subsidiaries (Battelle) under programs funded by the federal governmentfor the year ended September 30, 2006. The Schedule has been prepared on the accrual basis ofaccounting.

For purposes of the Schedule, federal awards include all grants and contracts entered into directly betweenBattelle and agencies and departments of the federal government, as well as federal funds passed throughto Battelle by other recipients. The awards are classified as a major program in accordance with therequirements of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, LocalGovernments, and Non-Profit Organizations. The Schedule includes only federal funds and other federalassistance received by Battelle and denotes the federal agency that is the source of those funds. As requiredby OMB Circular A-133, the Schedule does not include amounts received to operate government-owned,contractor-operated facilities.

Battelle's fiscal year 2006 major program is the research and development cluster. It includes those awardsthat are for technology-based research and development activities and for research training. OMB CircularA-133 defines research and development as follows: research is a systematic study directed toward fullerscientific knowledge or understanding of the subject studied; development is the systematic use ofknowledge and understanding gained from research directed toward the production of useful materials,devices, systems, or methods, including design and development of prototypes and processes.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for Federal Program Expenditures

Expenditures consist of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that can be easily identified with anindividual federally sponsored project. The salary cost of a Lead Scientist or Technical Specialist and thematerials consumed by the project are examples of direct costs.

Battelle uses indirect cost rates to charge indirect costs to individual federally sponsored projects. Indirectcosts are the costs of services and resources that benefit both federally sponsored and nonsponsoredprojects. The rate is the result of a number of complex cost allocation procedures that Battelle uses toallocate its indirect costs to both federally sponsored and nonsponsored activities. The indirect costsallocated to federally sponsored projects are divided by the direct costs of federally sponsored projects toarrive at a rate. Before the rates are used, the Defense Contract Audit Agency must approve them.

(3) Classified Information

Due to the nature of the Research and Development that Battelle performs on behalf of the FederalGovernment, various contracts and project information is considered either "Top Secret", "Secret", or"Confidential". As a result, the Schedule reflects summarized data by agency in order to properlysafeguard various information as required by the Federal Government.

(4) Relationship to Consolidated Financial Statements

Federal awards in the amount of $712,472,753 are reported as a portion of total project revenue inBattelle's consolidated financial statements as revenue from operations.

Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs

September 30, 2006

(3) Findings and Questioned Costs relating to Federal Awards:

Findine: 06-01

Federal Program - Researchand DevelopmentCluster

CFDA No. - Research and Development Cluster

Federal Grantor - Various

Federal Contract Numbers - Various

Compliance Requirement - Allowable Costs/Cost Principles

Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle) is exempt !Tom OMB Circular A-122 but is required to follow theFederal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). According to the FAR 31.201-2 (48 CFR Part 31), Battelle isrequired to have an adequate labor charging system.

Condition Found - Management of Battelle informed us that the Defense Contract Audit Agency(DCAA), Battelle's cognizant audit agency, reported that Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's(PNNL's) labor accounting system was "inadequate in part" for the period of October 2005 throughDecember 2006. The DCAA noted the following which they contend are significant deficiencies: I)Battelle does not account for uncompensated overtime; 2) when uncompensated overtime hours areworked, employees may use discretion to determine the number of hours recorded in a day and the costobjectives to which they are charged; and 3) employees change prior period timesheets to reflect workperformed in subsequent periods without maintaining documentation. DCAA contends the deficienciesnoted could result in an overstatement or an understatement of overhead rates charged by PNNL and non-compliance with Cost Accounting Standard (CAS) 418-40(c)(I). We have reviewed correspondencebetween PNNL and the DCAA and note that the final CAS non-compliance report is pending resolution.Approximately $39 million in federal awards were received and expended by PNNL for the fiscal yearended September 30, 2006. Of the $39 million, approximately $13 million represents labor charges fromexempt employees for these awards during the fiscal year.

Questioned Costs - No specific questioned costs were noted by the DCAA.

Effect - DCAA contends the deficiencies are significant and could result in non-compliance with theAllowable Costs/Cost Principles compliance requirement, as well as Cost Accounting Standards.

Recommendation - Battelle needs to establish a labor policy to ensure compliance with the AllowableCosts/Cost Principles compliance requirement and ensure that their labor charging system is adequate toprovide that costs claimed and reimbursed are allowable and allocable.

View of Responsible Official - Battelle expects the issue to be resolved in the next few months by thePacific Northwest Site Office DOE Contracting Officer (CO) making a written determination that PNNL'slabor system is adequate pending select changes in its time recording policy. There is precedent for thisoutcome as the last time DCAA raised this issue at PNNL (over a decade ago), the then CO made adetermination of compliance based on legal interpretation of cost accounting standards thereby resolvingthe issue over the objections ofDCAA.
