Representative of Western Reserve Alpaca Farm Representative of Wille of the Valley Representative of Willow Ridge Farm Expert Witnesses, Will Call. Cate Elsten, ICBM Ocean Tomo, San Francisco, CA.
Ms. Elsten is a certified management accountant, and will opine as to the following, consistent with her expert report, and with the deposition which she gave in this case: a. CLP may be entitled to an accounting of the profits unfairly gained by LOL from its use of the Profile name. LOL's financial records and
testimony from LOL personnel indicate LOL sold and/or may be reasonably estimated to have sold at least $81,065,383 in animal feed under the Profile name, generating $30,483,999 in income over ingredient cost. Financial records produced by LOL to date are insufficient to
analyze further cost deductions or to calculate them to a reasonable degree of certainty. b. A reasonable royalty based on construction of a hypothetical negotiation between the parties in suit would be approximately 7% of sales. Application of this rate to LOL's actual and reasonably estimated sales through March 2005 would indicate total royalties of $5,674,577. c. CLP may be reasonably estimated to have lost profits of at least $176,728 from 2002 (the year of LOL's official Profile launch) through 2004. As LOL's accused product has continued in the market past that date, CLP's losses may reasonably be anticipated to continue, but losses for 2005

cannot be calculated at this time [June, 2005]. d. CLP may be entitled to compensation for actual and anticipated spending to remediate the misimpression and/or connsfusion caused by LOL's use of the Profile name and restore the value of CLP's Profile mark. CLP's actual spending to date for such efforts through the end of 2004 was $13,292. CLP's prospective spending may be informed by LOL's own spending in prom,iting the accused product. The out-of-pocket portion of such advertising and promotional spending reported by LOL through October 2004 was $2,797,953. The total costs of LOL's promotion of products bearing the accused mark cannot be determined based on LOL's current production, but may be estimated if no further detail from LOL is forthcoming. 2. Carr Conway, The Dickerson Group, Inc., 215 Union Blvd., Suite 315,
Lakewood, CO. 80228, 303-864-9900. Mr. Carr is a certified public accountant, and certified fraud examiner. He is expected to testify consistent with his report dated June 6, 2005, and with the deposition which he gave in this matter. He will opine as to the following: a. Because the use of the trademark "Profile" by LOL appears to have been a key factor to success and started at the earliest in late 2001, there should have been disclosure about its use in the Form S-4 filed on or about March 18, 2002 by LOL. That disclosure should have included a full discussion of how LOL intended to use that trademark, including disclosure of any impediments to full and unfettered use of the mark. The disclosure should

have included an appropriate discussion of any known use of a similar trademark by other parties, or, absent a thorough search before starting use of the trademark, the implications of less than a thorough search. b. There should have been much more extensive discussion of the trademark "Profile in the Form 10-K for LOL Feed filed on or about March 18, 2002. The disclosure should have discussed in detail the ongoing dispute about ownership of the trademark. There should have been disclosures in the Business section, as well as Legal Proceedings and MD&A. c. There should have been a more extensive discussion of the trademark "Profile" in the Form 10-K for 2003 filed by LOL Feed. The discussion should have been expanded to address the dispute about the trademark and effects, and possible effects, on LOL's operations. d. Subject to further development of all facts, the disclosures and lack of information referenced above could mislead the general public and could appea
