                affect our earnings and assets. The percentage of 2006 consolidated
                revenue denominated in US Dollars was approximately 67%. Of the remaining

      Biotech uses a wide range of biological and non-biological raw materials. The
      primary raw materials required for Trinity Biotech's test kits consist of
      antibodies, antigens, human plasma, latex beads, rabbit brain phospholipids,
      bovine source material, other reagents, glass fibre and packaging materials.
      The
      reagents used as raw materials have been acquired for the most part from third
      parties. Although Trinity Biotech is not dependent upon any one source for
      such
      raw materials, alternative sources of antibodies and antigens with the
      specificity and sensitivity desired by Trinity Biotech may not be available
      from
      time-to-time. Such unavailability could affect the supply of its products and
      its ability to meet orders for specific products, if such orders are obtained.
      Trinity Biotech's growth may be limited by its ability to obtain or develop
      the
      necessary quantity of antibodies or antigens required for specific products.
      Thus, Trinity Biotech's strategy is, whenever possible, to establish alternative
      sources of supply of antibodies.</font></div>

      application must provide extensive preclinical and clinical trial data and
      also
      information about the device and its components regarding, among other things,
      device design, manufacturing and labeling. In addition, an advisory committee
      made up of clinicians and/or other appropriate experts is typically convened
      to
      evaluate the application and make recommendations to the FDA as to whether
      the
      device should be approved. It generally takes from one to three years but can
      take longer. </font></div>

      It generally takes from one to three years or even longer. After approval of
      a
      PMA, a new PMA or PMA supplement is required in the event of a modification
      to
      the device, its labeling or its manufacturing process. The FDA has recently

      which impact our judgement to capitalise certain research and development
      expenditure include the degree of regulatory approval for products and the
      results of any market research to determine the likely future commercial success
      of products being developed. We review these factors each year to determine
      whether our previous estimates as to feasibility, viability and recovery should
      be changed. During 2006 and 2005 there were no changes in the assumptions
      regarding the degree of regulatory approval for any of the projects being
      undertaken. The Group did make changes to the estimates used to determine the
      future commercial success of the projects in the normal course of business
      by
      including updated revenue estimates. However, these changes in revenue estimates
      did not result in changes in the carrying value of any of the development costs
      capitalised during or prior to 2006. At December 31, 2006 the carrying value
      of
      capitalised development costs was US$17,290,000 (2005: US$11,853,000) (note
      11).
      The increase in 2006 was attributable to development costs of US$5,862,000
      being
      capitalised during 2006, foreign exchange movements of US$43,000 and partially
      offset by amortisation of US$468,000. Given the expected cash flows that will
      result from the successful conclusion of the Company&#8217;s on-going development
      projects when compared to their respective carrying values, any reasonably
      possible change in estimate would not result in a change to these carrying
      values. In the event that any of the projects cannot be completed this would
      result in a write off of the balance in question. The projects which are
      currently in progress have a range of carrying values up to
      US$3,304,000.</font></div>

      the
      above indicators of impairment, any impairment is measured based on our
      estimates of projected net discounted cash flows expected to result from that
      asset, including eventual disposition. Our estimated impairment could prove
      insufficient if our analysis overestimated the cash flows or conditions change
      in the future. As part of the impairment review for 2006 and 2005, updated
      estimates of cash flows from sales were employed based on the latest sales
      and
      forecast information available. These revised estimates did not result in any
      impairment of intangible assets, non-current assets or related goodwill. In
      the
      event that there was a 10% variation in the assumed level of future growth
      in
      cashflows from sales, which would represent a reasonably likely range of
      outcomes, no impairment of assets would occur in any of the Group&#8217;s cash
      generating units at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Similarly if there
      was a 10% variation in the discount rate used to calculate the potential
      impairment of the carrying values, which would represent a reasonably likely
      range of outcomes, no impairment of assets would occur at December 31, 2006
      and

      judgement is required in determining our worldwide income tax expense provision.
      In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many transactions and
      calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these
      uncertainties arise as a consequence of revenue sharing and cost reimbursement
      arrangements among related entities, the process of identifying items of revenue
      and expense that qualify for preferential tax treatment and segregation of
      foreign and domestic income and expense to avoid double taxation. Although
      we
      believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the
      final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is
      reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences
      could have a material effect on our income tax provision and profit in the
      period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
      are determined using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates for the effects
      of net operating losses and temporary differences between the book and tax
      bases
      of assets and liabilities. </font></div>

      on the sale of the above products are generally recognised on the basis of
      shipment to customers. The Group ships its products on a variety of freight
      terms, including ex-works, CIF (carriage including freight) and FOB (free on
      board), depending on the specific terms agreed with customers. In cases where
      the Group ships on terms other than ex-works, the Group does not recognise
      the
      revenue until its obligations have been fulfilled in accordance with the
      shipping terms. </font></div>

      Group
      also derives a portion of its revenues from leasing infectious diseases and
      haemostasis diagnostic instruments to customers. In cases where the risks and
      rewards of ownership of the instrument passes to the customer, the fair value
      of
      the instrument is recognised at the time of sale matched by the related cost
      of
      sale. In the case of operating leases of instruments which typically involve
      commitments by the customer to pay a fee per test run on the instruments,
      revenue is recognised on the basis of customer usage of the instruments. In
      certain markets, the Group also earns revenue from servicing infectious diseases
      and haemostasis instrumentation located at customer premises. </font></div>

      This increase in cost of sales is broadly in line with the increase in revenues
      for the Group. Cost of sales excluding the US$5.8 million inventory provision
      for the year represents 52% of revenues, the same level as in 2005. See Revenues

      of
      combining the acquired bioMerieux range of products with the Group&#8217;s existing
      product range. As part of this process it was decided to discontinue various
      existing products, hence the requirement for the inventory

      The
      gross margin for the first 6 months of 2006 was 49%. This fell to 47% in the
      second 6 months of 2006. This is largely due to the acquisition of the
      haemostasis product line of bioMerieux Inc., as haemostasis products tend to
      have a lower margin on average than the other Trinity Biotech product lines.

      expense represents the value of share options granted to directors and employees
      which is charged to the income statement over the vesting period of the
      underlying options. The Group has used a trinomial valuation model for the
      purposes of valuing these share options with the key inputs to the model being
      the expected volatility over the life of the options, the expected life of
      the
      option and the risk free rate. The expense for 2006 is broadly in line with
      that
      of 2005 and is due to the impact of the newly issued options being offset by
      a
      reduction in the expense resulting from forfeiture and expiration of previous
      share options granted to employees and key management personnel. For further

      US$172,000 whilst a further US$585,000 was amortised in relation to intangible

      financing costs increased to US$1,489,000 compared to US$669,000 in 2005. This
      increase is primarily due to the impact of the additional debt financing taken
      on by the Group during 2006 due to the acquisition of the haemostasis line
      of
      bioMerieux. The loan facility was amended in July 2006, increasing the original
      loan facility by US$30 million from US$13,340,000 to US$43,340,000. The
      increased interest expense in relation to this additional debt was offset by
      lower interest charges in relation the Group&#8217;s convertible notes as they were
      being repaid during 2006 and an increase in deposit interest earned during
      the
      year of US$775,000 due to a combination of higher cash balances and higher
      interest rates. </font></div>

      Group
      recorded a net tax credit of US$2,824,000 in the year ended December 31, 2006.
      This compared to a tax charge of US$673,000 for 2005. This represented an
      increase in current tax of US$16,000 which is more than offset by a decrease
      in
      deferred tax of US$3,513,000. The increase in current tax is primarily
      attributable to an increase in current year profits in the Group&#8217;s Irish
      operations. The net deferred tax credit is primarily attributable to an increase
      in deferred tax assets arising from current year losses in certain of the
      Group&#8217;s subsidiary undertakings. The increase in deferred tax assets was
      partially offset by an increase in deferred tax liabilities attributable to
      an
      upfront deduction for certain development expenditure and licence fees,
      primarily in Ireland, for items that have not as yet been expensed in the
      Group&#8217;s income statement. For further details on the Group&#8217;s tax charge please

      profit increased by 7%, primarily due to the impact of increased sales. However,
      the impact of sales, which grew by 23%, was partially offset by lower gross
      margins, increased selling, general &amp; administrative (SG&amp;A) costs, the
      impact of share based payments and increased amortisation charges. The
      combination of the above factors caused the operating margin to fall from 8%

      Group&#8217;s revenues consist of the sale of diagnostic kits and related
      instrumentation and the sale of raw materials to the life sciences industry.
      Revenues on the sale of the above products are generally recognised on the
      basis
      of shipment to customers. The Group ships its products on a variety of freight
      terms, including ex-works, CIF (carriage including freight) and FOB (free on
      board), depending on the specific terms agreed with customers. In cases where
      the Group ships on terms other than ex-works, the Group does not recognise
      the
      revenue until its obligations have been fulfilled in accordance with the
      shipping terms. </font></div>

      of return exists in relation to product sales except in instances where
      demonstrable product defects occur. The Group has defined procedures for dealing
      with customer complaints associated with such product defects as they arise.
      Very occasionally, sales transactions are made on extended credit terms. In
      these instances, in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU and US GAAP,
      this
      revenue is recognised when the amounts fall due rather than at the date of
      shipment. </font></div>

      Group
      also derives a portion of its revenues from leasing infectious diseases and
      haemostasis diagnostic instruments to customers. In cases where the risks and
      rewards of ownership of the instrument passes to the customer, the fair value
      of
      the instrument is recognised at the time of sale matched by the related cost
      of
      sale. In the case of operating leases of instruments which typically involve
      commitments by the customer to pay a fee per test run on the instruments,
      revenue is recognised on the basis of customer usage of the instruments. In
      certain markets, the Group also earns revenue from servicing infectious diseases
      and haemostasis instrumentation located at customer premises. </font></div>

      the
      acquisition of Fitzgerald made in April 2004 together with the acquisition
      of
      RDI during 2005. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in sales

      growth of 23% during the same period. The lower growth in SG&amp;A expenditure
      compared with revenue growth is attributable to economies of scale, particularly
      in relation to the Group&#8217;s selling activities and central administration costs.
      The increase in SG&amp;A costs in 2005 are primarily due to the impact of the

      to the income statement in 2005 of US$1,368,000 (2004: US$758,000) for
      share-based payments. Of the 2005 charge US$110,000 (2004: US$81,000) was
      charged against cost of sales. Of the remaining US$1,258,000, US$210,000 (2004:
      US$96,000) was charged against research and development expenses and
      US$1,048,000 (2004: US$581,000) was charged against selling and general

      expense represents the value of share options granted to directors and employees
      which is charged to the income statement over the vesting period of the
      underlying options. The Group has used a trinomial valuation model for the
      purposes of valuing these share options with the key inputs to the model being
      the expected volatility over the life of the options, the expected life of
      the
      option and the risk free rate. The increase in the expense for 2005 compared
      to
      2004 is due to the full year impact of the 3,162,824 options issued during
      2004
      plus the impact of a further 1,670,000 options issued during the course of
      2005.

      on the
      interest charge attributable to convertible debentures, which was implemented
      for the first time in 2005. Under IAS 32, interest on convertible debentures
      is
      charged based on an effective interest rate. This effective interest rate
      includes the nominal interest rate of 3%, a cost ascribed to the equity element
      of the instrument and the transaction costs incurred at the time the debt was
      raised. This compares to the charge for 2004 which was based entirely on the
      nominal interest rate of 3%, as the provisions of IAS 32 did not apply in 2004.
      The impact of the above increase was partially offset by the lower average
      level
      of convertible debt outstanding during 2005 compared with 2004 due to scheduled
      repayments of the debt. Please refer to &#8220;Liquidity and Capital Resources&#8221; later

      increase in deferred tax of US$1,161,000. The decrease in current tax is

      charge, primarily in Ireland, and of increasing the Group&#8217;s deferred tax
      liability. This increase in the net deferred tax position was partially offset
      by the increase in the deferred tax asset caused by the current year losses
      in
      the US and Germany. The Group was able to offset the current year loss in Sweden
      against its deferred corporation tax liabilities from previous years. For
      further details on the Group&#8217;s tax charge please refer to Note 8 &#8220;Income Tax
      Expense/(Credit)&#8221; and Note 12 &#8220;Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities&#8221; of the Notes

      was
      amended in July 2006, increasing the original loan facility by US$30 million
      from US$13,340,000 to US$43,340,000. The term loan is repayable in ten equal

      statements).Various covenants apply to the Group&#8217;s bank borrowings. As at

      had been waived by the banks. The bank also agreed to amend those covenants
      for
      subsequent periods. At December 31, 2006, the total amount outstanding under
      the
      facility amounted to US$42,917,000. The debt is stated net of unamortised
      funding costs of US$423,000.</font></div>

      on Nasdaq are required to have three members on their audit committee. Second,
      the board of directors of the Group has only two independent, non-executive
      directors, while U.S. domestic companies are required to have a majority of
      independent directors on their board. In addition, the Group has not appointed
      an independent nominations committee or adopted a board resolution addressing
      the nominations process. Finally, the Group&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer serves on
      the Group&#8217;s remuneration committee with two non-executive independent directors,

      compensation determined by a remuneration committee comprised solely of

      the
&#8216;B&#8217; non-voting Ordinary Shares in Trinity Research Limited, one of the Group&#8217;s
      subsidiaries. The &#8216;B&#8217; shares do not entitle the holders thereof to receive any
      assets of the company on a winding up. All of the &#8216;A&#8217; voting ordinary shares in
      Trinity Research Limited are held by the Group. Trinity Research Limited may,
      from time to time, declare dividends to Rayville Limited and Rayville Limited
      may declare dividends to its shareholders out of those amounts. Any such
      dividends paid by Trinity Research Limited are ordinarily treated as
      compensation expense by the Group in the consolidated financial statements
      prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, notwithstanding their
      legal form of dividends to minority interests, as this best represents the
      substance of the transactions. The amount of dividends included in compensation
      expense was US$969,000, US$1,410,000 and US$1,911,000 for 2004, 2005 and 2006
      respectively, of which US$914,000, US$1,333,000 and US$1,779,000 respectively
      related to the four executive directors of the Group. There were no dividends
      payable to Rayville Limited as of December 31, 2004, 2005 or 2006.</font></div>

      addition, in December 2006, the remuneration committee of the Board approved
      the
      payment of a dividend of US$5,331,000 by Trinity Research Limited to Rayville

      compensation over the next number of years under the arrangement described
      above
      and will be reflected in compensation expense over the corresponding period.
      As
      this payment is matched by a loan from Rayville Limited to Trinity Research
      Limited which is repayable solely at the discretion of the remuneration
      committee of the Board and is unsecured and interest free, the Group has netted
      this dividend paid to Rayville Limited against the corresponding loan from
      Rayville Limited in the 2006 consolidated financial statements.</font></div>

      Biotech initiated legal proceedings in the Superior Court of Middlesex County,
      Massachusetts against Inverness Medical and its affiliate Wampole for
      declaratory judgement, breach of contract and unfair and deceptive business
      practices in connection with the Defendants&#8217; performance under a distribution
      agreement initially entered into in 1995 by Clark Laboratories Inc (now part
      of
      the Trinity Biotech Group) and subsequently amended in 2002. This legal dispute
      was settled during 2006. On August 3, 2006 the parties entered into a settlement
      agreement, a patent licence and a supply agreement. </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Under
      the
      terms of these agreements the parties settled their claims; Inverness granted
      Trinity Biotech a royalty bearing licence to its lateral flow patents for all
      diagnostic uses with the exception of women&#8217;s health and cardiology, including
      an Over the Counter (&#8220;OTC&#8221;) license for Trinity Biotech&#8217;s Unigold HIV products.
      In addition, Inverness agreed to manufacture Trinity Biotech&#8217;s Unigold HIV tests
      primarily for sale in the African market in its new facility in Hangzhou, China,
      and reimbursed Trinity Biotech US$1,000,000 towards its costs of US$967,000,
      incurred as part of the litigation. </font></div>

      to Irish law, Trinity Biotech must maintain a register of its shareholders.
      This
      register is open to inspection by shareholders free of charge and to any member
      of the public on payment of a small fee. The books containing the minutes of
      proceedings of any general meeting of Trinity Biotech are required to be kept
      at
      the registered office of the Company and are open to the inspection of any
      member without charge. Minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors are not
      open to scrutiny by shareholders. Trinity Biotech is obliged to keep proper
      books of account. The shareholders have no statutory right to inspect the books
      of account. The only financial records, which are open to the shareholders,
      are
      the financial statements, which are sent to shareholders with the annual report.
      Irish law also obliges Trinity Biotech to file information relating to certain
      events within the Company (new share capital issues, changes to share rights,
      changes to the Board of Directors). This information is filed with the Companies
      Registration Office (the "CRO") in Dublin and is open to public inspection.
      The
      Articles of Association of Trinity Biotech permit ordinary shareholders to
      approve corporate matters in writing provided that it is signed by all the
      members for the time being entitled to vote and attend at general meeting.
      Ordinary shareholders are entitled to call a meeting by way of a</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"><strong>&#160;</strong></font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">requisition.
      The requisition must be signed by ordinary shareholders holding not less than
      one-tenth of the paid up capital of the Company carrying the right of voting
      at
      general meetings of the Company. Trinity Biotech is generally permitted, subject
      to company law, to issue shares with preferential rights, including preferential
      rights as to voting, dividends or rights to a return of capital on a winding
      up
      of the Company. Any shareholder who complains that the affairs of the Company
      are being conducted or that the powers of the directors of the Company are
      being
      exercised in a manner oppressive to him or any of the shareholders (including
      himself), or in disregard of his or their interests as shareholders, may apply
      to the Irish courts for relief. Shareholders have no right to maintain
      proceedings in respect of wrongs done to the Company.</font></div>

      our directors owe their duties only to Trinity Biotech and not its shareholders.
      The duties of directors are twofold, fiduciary duties and duties of care and
      skill. Fiduciary duties are owed by the directors individually and owed to
      Trinity Biotech. Those duties include duties to act in good faith towards
      Trinity Biotech in any transaction, not to make use of any money or other
      property of Trinity Biotech, not to gain directly or indirectly any improper
      advantage for himself at the expense of Trinity Biotech, to act bona fide in
      the
      interests of Trinity Biotech and exercise powers for the proper purpose. A
      director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree
      of
      skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and
      experience. When directors, as agents in transactions, make contracts on behalf
      of the Company, they generally incur no personal liability under these
      contracts. </font></div>

      authority. A director who commits a breach of his fiduciary duties shall be
      liable to Trinity Biotech for any profit made by him or for any damage suffered
      by Trinity Biotech as a result of the breach. In addition to the above, a breach
      by a director of his duties may lead to a sanction from a Court including
      damages of compensation, summary dismissal of the director, a requirement to
      account to Trinity Biotech for profit made and restriction of the director
      from
      acting as a director in the future.</font></div>

      countries. Financial transfers are broadly defined and include all transfers,

      shares issued by an Irish incorporated company and associated payments may

      US Holder in tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2010 will be subject
      to tax at a reduced maximum tax rate of 15%. Distributions taxable as dividends
      paid on the ordinary shares should qualify for the 15% rate provided that
      either: (i) we are entitled to benefits under the income tax treaty between
      the
      United States and Ireland (the "Treaty") or (ii) the ADSs are readily tradable
      on an established securities market in the US and certain other requirements

      the
      ADSs currently are readily tradable on an established securities market in
      the
      US. However, no assurance can be given that the ordinary shares will remain
      readily tradable. The rate reduction does not apply unless certain holding
      period requirements are satisfied. With respect to the ADSs, the US Holder
      must
      have held such ADSs for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning
      60
      days before the ex-dividend date. The rate reduction also does not apply to
      dividends received from passive foreign investment companies, see discussion
      below, or in respect of certain hedged positions or in certain other situations.
      The legislation enacting the reduced tax rate contains special rules for
      computing the foreign tax credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives dividends
      subject to the reduced tax rate. US Holders of Trinity Biotech ADSs should
      consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of these rules in their

      US
      federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation is treated as a &#8220;passive
      foreign investment company&#8221; (or PFIC) in any taxable year in which, after taking
      into account the income and assets of the corporation and certain of its
      subsidiaries pursuant to the applicable "look through" rules, either (1) at
      least 75% of the corporation&#8217;s gross income is passive income or (2) at least
      50% of the average value of the corporation&#8217;s assets is attributable to assets
      that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.
      Based on the nature of its present business operations, assets and income,
      Trinity Biotech believes that it is not currently subject to treatment as a
      PFIC. However, no assurance can be given that changes will not occur in Trinity
      Biotech&#8217;s business operations, assets and income that might cause it to be
      treated as a PFIC at some future time.</font></div>

      Trinity Biotech were to become a PFIC, a US Holder of Trinity Biotech ADSs
      would
      be required to allocate to each day in the holding period for such holder&#8217;s ADSs
      a pro rata portion of any distribution received (or deemed to be received)
      by
      the holder from Trinity Biotech, to the extent the distribution so received
      constitutes an &#8220;excess distribution,&#8221; as defined under US federal income tax
      law. Generally, a distribution received during a taxable year by a US Holder
      with respect to the underlying shares represented by any of the holder&#8217;s ADSs
      would be treated as an &#8220;excess distribution&#8221; to the extent that the distribution
      so received, plus all other distributions received (or deemed to be received)
      by
      the holder during the taxable year with respect to such underlying shares,
      is
      greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the holder
      with respect to such underlying shares during the three preceding years (or
      during such shorter period as the US Holder may have held the ADSs). Any portion
      of an excess distribution that is treated as allocable to one or more taxable
      years prior to the year of distribution during which Trinity Biotech was
      classified as a PFIC would be subject to US federal income tax in the year
      in
      which the excess distribution is made, but it would be subject to tax at the
      highest tax rate applicable to the holder in the prior tax year or years. The
      holder also would be subject to an interest charge, in the year in which the
      excess distribution is made, on the amount of taxes deemed to have been deferred
      with respect to the excess distribution. In addition, any gain recognised on
      a
      sale or other disposition of a US Holder&#8217;s ADSs, including any gain recognised
      on a liquidation of Trinity Biotech, would be treated in the same manner as
      an
      excess distribution. Any such gain would be treated as ordinary income rather
      than as capital gain. Finally, the 15% reduced US federal income tax rate
      otherwise applicable to dividend income as discussed above, will not apply
      to
      any distribution made by Trinity Biotech in any taxable year in which it is
      a
      PFIC (or made in the taxable year following any such year), whether or not
      the
      distribution is an &#8220;excess distribution&#8221;. </font></div><br>

      any
      excess of the fair market value of the ADSs at the close of each tax year over
      its adjusted basis in the ADSs. If the fair market value of the ADSs had
      depreciated below the US Holders adjusted basis at the close of the tax year,
      the US Holder may generally deduct the excess of the adjusted basis of the
      ADSs
      over its fair market value at that time. However, such deductions generally
      would be limited to the net mark-to-market gains, if any, that the US Holder
      included in income with respect to such ADSs in prior years. Income recognized
      and deductions allowed under the mark-to-market provisions, as well as any
      gain
      or loss on the disposition of ADSs with respect to which the mark-to-market

      treated as capital loss to the extent the loss exceeds the net mark-to-market
      gains, if any, that a US Holder included in income with respect to such ordinary
      shares in prior years). However, gain or loss from the disposition of ordinary
      shares (as to which a &#8220;mark-to-market&#8221; election was made) in a year in which

      majority of the Group&#8217;s activities are conducted in US Dollars. The primary
      foreign exchange risk arises from the fluctuating value of the Group&#8217;s euro
      denominated expenses as a result of the movement in the exchange rate between
      the US Dollar and the euro. Arising from this, where considered necessary,
      the
      Group on occasions pursues a treasury policy which aims to sell US Dollars
      forward to match a portion of its uncovered euro expenses at exchange rates
      lower than budgeted exchange rates. These forward contracts are cashflow hedging
      instruments whose objective is to cover a portion of these euro forecasted
      transactions. There were no forward contracts in place at December 31, 2006.
      With an increasing level of euro denominated sales, the Group anticipates that,
      over the next three years, a higher proportion of its non-US Dollar expenses
      will be matched by non-US Dollar revenues. The Group had foreign currency
      denominated cash balances equivalent to US$952,000 at December 31, 2006 (2005:
      US$1,486,000). </font></div>

      part
      of the year end financial statement close process, a material weakness was
      identified in relation to controls concerning revenue recognition from a cut
      off
      perspective. In accordance with Group policy, revenue is recognized when the
      significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.
      The Group uses a third party operated logistics provider in China as temporary
      storage for goods in advance of shipment to customers. In some instances the
      goods are collected from this facility by the customer. At year end, the Group
      did not have a control in place to confirm that instructions provided to the
      logistics provider to ensure that all goods had been collected prior to raising
      an invoice had been followed and accordingly did not comply with the Group
      policy. The majority of shipments from this facility, which are made using
      the
      Group&#8217;s own freight forwarder, were unaffected by this issue. </font></div>

      the
      size and nature of the issue identified it has been determined that the above
      matter constitutes a material weakness. A material weakness is a control
      deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than
      a
      remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
      financial statements will not be prevented or detected. This weakness was
      identified as part of the preparation of the financial statements for 2006
      and
      has been accounted for correctly in the financial statements presented in Item
      18. Since the issue was identified, the Group has enhanced the controls which
      operate in this area and will be monitoring the effectiveness of these controls
      as part of its compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
      Given the existence of the weakness outlined above, management has concluded
      that the Group did not maintain effective internal control over financial
      reporting as of December 31, 2006. </font></div>

      Audit
      Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit
      and
      non-audit services rendered by our independent public accountants, KPMG. The
      policy generally pre-approves certain specific services in the categories of
      audit services, audit-related services, and tax services up to specified
      amounts, and sets requirements for specific case-by-case pre-approval of
      discrete projects, those which may have a material effect on our operations
      or
      services over certain amounts. Pre-approval may be given as part of the Audit
      Committee&#8217;s approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent auditor
      or on an individual basis. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to
      one
      or more of the Audit Committee&#8217;s members, but the decision must be presented to
      the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The policy prohibits
      retention of the independent public accountants to perform the prohibited
      non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the
      rules of the SEC, and also considers whether proposed services are compatible
      with the independence of the public accountants. </font></div>

      conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
      Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
      plan
      and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
      statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform
      an
      audit of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
      included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
      for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but
      not
      for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s
      internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such
      opinion. An audit also 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
      audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </font></div>

        that

        of service, the fair value, which is assessed at the grant date, is recognised

        Non-market vesting conditions are not taken into account when estimating
        the
        fair value of share options as at the grant date; such conditions are taken
        into
        account through adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the
        measurement of the transaction amount so that, ultimately, the amount recognised
        equates to the number of equity instruments that actually vest. The expense
        in
        the income statement in relation to share options represents the product
        of the
        total number of options anticipated to vest and the fair value of those options;
        this amount is allocated to accounting periods on a straight-line basis over
        the
        vesting period. Given that the performance conditions underlying the Group&#8217;s
        share options are non-market in nature, the cumulative charge to the income
        statement is only reversed where the performance condition is not met or
        where
        an employee in receipt of share options relinquishes service prior to completion
        of the expected vesting period. Share based payments, to the extent they
        relate
        to direct labour involved in development activities, are capitalised, see

          information is presented in respect of the Group&#8217;s geographical and business
          segments. The primary format, geographical segments, is based on the Group&#8217;s
          management and internal reporting structure. Sales of product between companies
          in the Group are made on commercial terms which reflect the nature of the
          relationship between the relevant companies. Segment results, assets and
          liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as
          those
          that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise
          interest-bearing loans, borrowings and expenses and corporate expenses.
          Segment
          capital expenditure is the total cost during the period to acquire segment
          plant, property and equipment and intangible assets that are expected to
          be used
          for more than one period, whether acquired on acquisition of a business
          combination or through acquisitions as part of the current
          operations.</font></div>

        significant non-cash expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 relate
        to an
        inventory provision of US$5.8 million. Following the acquisition of the
        haemostasis product line of bioMerieux Inc (&#8220;bioMerieux&#8221;), Trinity Biotech
        sought to combine the range of products acquired with the Group&#8217;s existing
        product range. As part of this process it was decided to discontinue various
        existing products and this resulted in a US$5.8 million write-off of inventory.
        This write-off has been disclosed as a separate line item in cost of sales
        in
        the 2006 income statement. See note 26.</font><br></div>

          The
          overseas tax charge in 2006 relates primarily to US state taxes. The credit
          in
          2005 of US$172,000 relates primarily to a current year trading loss in
          Sweden
          which the Group is able to offset against its deferred tax liabilities
          in Sweden
          from previous years. The credit in 2004 of US$139,000 primarily arose as
          a
          result of refunds due relating to a loss carry-back claim in respect of
          the 2004
          US trading loss. No similar credits arose in 2006. </font></div>

          at

                  December 31, 2006, the Group had net operating loss carryforwards
                  of
                  approximately US$8,138,000 (2005: US$3,331,000, 2004: US$2,260,000)
                  in the
                  US, US$580,000 (2005: US$244,000, 2004: US$256,000) in the UK,
                  US$2,320,000 (2005: US$668,000, 2004: US$410,000) in Germany and
                  US$290,000 (2005: US$Nil, 2004: US$nil) in Ireland. The utilisation
                  of
                  these net operating loss carryforwards is limited to future profitable
                  operations in the US, UK, Germany and Ireland. The US net operating
                  loss
                  has a maximum carryforward of 20 years. US$3,043,000 of the net
                  operating
                  losses in the US will expire by December 31, 2024 while the balance
                  of
                  US$5,095,000 will expire by December 31, 2026. The UK, German and
                  Irish
                  losses can be carried forward indefinitely. A deferred tax asset
                  has been
                  recognised for the loss carryforwards in the US, UK, Ireland and
                  Germany.
                  The tax value of these loss carryforwards is US$4,447,000 (2005:
                  US$1,525,000) (see note 12). A deferred tax asset of US$87,000
                  (2005:
                  US$nil) in respect of net operating losses in France was not recognised
                  in
                  2006 due to uncertainties regarding future full utilisation of
                  these
                  losses in the related tax jurisdiction in future periods. The Group
                  has US
                  state credit carryforwards of US$326,000 at December 31, 2006 (2005:
                  US$331,000). A deferred tax asset of US$185,000 (2005: US$316,000)
                  in
                  respect of US state credit carryforwards was not recognised in
                  2006 due to

                  credit
                  carryforwards in the related tax jurisdiction in future periods.

        earnings per ordinary share for the Group is computed by dividing the profit

        for the

        the

        the same as &#8216;A&#8217; ordinary shares except for the fact that they have two voting
        rights per share, rights to participate in any liquidation or sale of the
        Group
        and to receive dividends as if each Class &#8216;B&#8217; ordinary share were two Class &#8216;A&#8217;
ordinary shares. Hence the EPS for a &#8216;B&#8217; ordinary share is exactly twice the EPS

        The

        anti-dilutive and hence the diluted EPS has been calculated excluding the
        after
        tax effect of the interest saving on the convertible notes of US$208,000
        in
        2006. If the after tax effect on interest saving on convertible notes had
        not
        been anti-dilutive, 2,209,506 shares issuable on the conversion of convertible
        notes would have been included in the diluted earnings per share denominator.
        The after tax effect of the interest saving on convertible notes for 2005
        and
        2004 was not anti-dilutive and therefore 2,168,545 shares and 4,156,551 shares
        issuable on the exercise of options and 5,973,753 shares and 6,239,227 shares
        issuable on the conversion of convertible notes have been included in the

        The

        anti-dilutive and hence the diluted EPS per ADS has been stated excluding
        the
        after tax effect of the interest saving on the convertible notes of US$208,000
        in 2006. If the after tax effect on interest saving on convertible notes
        had not
        been anti-dilutive, 552,377 ADSs issuable on the conversion of convertible
        notes
        would have been included in the diluted earnings per ADS denominator. The
        after
        tax effect of the interest saving on convertible notes for 2005 and 2004
        was not
        anti-dilutive and therefore 542,136 ADSs and 1,039,137 ADSs issuable on the
        exercise of options and 1,493,438 ADSs and 1,559,807 ADSs issuable on the

        expected growth rate within the Diagnostics industry and the cost growth
        rate is
        based on expected cost inflation in the economies in which the Group operates.
        At the end of the five year period terminal values for each CGU, based on
        a
        price earnings ratio of 15, are used in the calculations. The cashflows and
        terminal values for the CGUs are discounted using pre-tax discount rates
        which
        range from 11.82% to 20.73%.&#160; There was no impairment on goodwill or
        intangible assets at December 31, 2006.</font></div>

      income permitted in Ireland, the USA and Germany, and deferred tax recognised
      on
      fair value asset uplifts in connection with business combinations. The deferred
      tax liability increased in 2006 as the excess of the net book value of non
      current assets over the tax base increased and the Group was able to recognise
      an upfront charge relating to licence fees in the calculation of its taxable
      income in Ireland. The increase was also as a result of the recognition of
      deferred tax liabilities on the fair value of the intangible assets acquired
      in
      business combinations of US$1,370,000 (2005: US$2,041,000). See note 26,

      deferred tax asset is recognised in respect of a capital loss of US$6,138,000
      in
      the Company in 2006 or 2005 as it was not probable that there will be future
      capital gains against which to offset these capital losses. No deferred tax
      asset was recognised in 2005 in respect of management expenses forward as at
      December, 31 2005 as it was not probable that there would be future taxable
      income in the Company against which to offset the unutilised management expenses
      forward. These losses are available indefinitely for offset against future
      taxable profits of the Company. During 2006 the Company utilised US$137,000
      of
      management expenses forward. As the Company had sufficient taxable income in
      2006 to utilise part of the management expenses forward, and on the basis that
      it is expected to have future taxable income to utilise the balance of the
      management expenses forward, a deferred tax asset was recognised in respect
      of
      the unutilised management expenses forward as at December, 31 2006.

        warrant reserve comprises the equity component of share warrants issued by
        the
        Group. There were no new warrants issued by the Group in 2006 or 2005. At
        31
        December, 2004 the fair value of these warrants was included within share
        premium. As part of the adoption of IAS 32 and IAS 39 the Group has elected
        to
        disclose the fair value of these warrants as a separate reserve within equity.
        The Group calculates the fair value of warrants at the date of issue taking
        the
        amount directly to reserves. The fair value is calculated using the trinomial
        model. The fair value which is assessed at the grant date is calculated on
        the
        basis of the contractual term of the warrants. In accordance IFRS 2, 1,258,824
        warrants with a value of (US$3,803,000) have been fair valued and classified
        as
        a separate reserve. </font></div>

      Biotech has a US$43,340,000 club banking facility with Allied Irish Bank plc
      and
      Bank of Scotland (Ireland) Limited. The facility consists of a five year term
      loan of US$41,340,000 and a one year revolver of US$2,000,000. Due to the
      acquisition of the haemostasis product line of bioMerieux, (see note 26), the
      facility was amended in July 2006, increasing the original loan facility by
      US$30 million from US$13,340,000 to US$43,340,000. The term loan is repayable
      in
      ten equal biannual instalments commencing in January 2007. This facility is
      secured on the assets of the Group (see note 27 (c)).Various covenants apply
      to
      the Group&#8217;s bank borrowings. At December 31, 2006, the total amount outstanding
      under the facility amounted to US$42,917,000. The debt is stated net of
      unamortised funding costs of US$423,000.</font></div>

        Company has availed of the exemption in IFRS 1 and has not applied IAS 32
        until
        January 1, 2005. Under IAS 32, the equity and liability elements of the
        convertible notes are recorded separately, with the equity component of the
        convertible notes being calculated as the excess of the issue proceeds over
        the
        present value of the future interest and principal repayments, discounted
        at the
        market rate of interest applicable to similar liabilities that do not have
        a
        conversion option. Transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity
        components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds. The corresponding
        interest expense recognised in the income statement is calculated using the
        effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the normal
        coupon
        rate of 3% adjusted for the effect of transaction costs.</font></div>

      In addition bioMerieux is entitled to deferred consideration up to a maximum

      payable in June 2008, depending on the performance of the product line during

      of
      US$3.2million and US$2.8 million would be payable in July 2007 and July 2008

          Inc.
          (&#8220;bioMerieux&#8221;) for a total consideration of US$44.4 million, consisting of cash

          (net
          of discounting) and acquisition expenses of US$0.7million. At the year
          end,
          Trinity Biotech has accrued US$5,688,000 for the deferred consideration
          which
          will be paid in June 2007 and June 2008 (see note 23). A further US$5.5
          million
          of consideration was contingent on the performance of the product line
          during
          2006. However, the Group has determined that this contingent element is
          not
          payable as certain milestones concerning the performance of the business
          line
          were not met during 2006. </font></div>

      existing products and this resulted in a US$5.8 million provision against the
      existing inventory of the Group. This provision has been disclosed as a separate

        expenditure, working capital and location of assets. As at December 31, 2006

        by the
        banks. The banks also agreed to amend those covenants for subsequent periods.
        The Group has agreed to maintain US$15,500,000 (2005: US$9,000,000) on deposit
        with its lending banks. Resulting from the restrictions on this cash, the
        US$15,500,000 (2005: US$9,000,000) is shown as a financial asset at December

        the Trinity Biotech Group) and subsequently amended in 2002. This legal dispute
        was settled during 2006. In August 3, 2006 the parties entered into a settlement

        Counter (&#8220;OTC&#8221;) license for Trinity&#8217;s Unigold HIV products. In addition,

        Limited, an Irish registered company, which is wholly owned by the four
        executive directors and certain other executives of the Group, owns all of
        the
&#8216;B&#8217; non-voting Ordinary Shares in Trinity Research Limited, one of the Group&#8217;s
        subsidiaries. The &#8216;B&#8217; shares do not entitle the holders thereof to receive any
        assets of the company on a winding up. All of the &#8216;A&#8217; voting ordinary shares in
        Trinity Research Limited are held by the Group. Trinity Research Limited
        may,
        from time to time, declare dividends to Rayville Limited and Rayville Limited
        may declare dividends to its shareholders out of those amounts. Any such
        dividends paid by Trinity Research Limited are ordinarily treated as
        compensation expense by the Group in the consolidated financial statements
        prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, notwithstanding their
        legal form of dividends to minority interests, as this best represents the
        substance of the transactions. The amount of dividends included in compensation
        expense was US$969,000, US$1,410,000 and US$1,911,000 for 2004, 2005 and
        2006
        respectively, of which US$914,000, US$1,333,000 and US$1,779,000 respectively
        related to the four executive directors of the Group. There were no dividends
        payable to Rayville Limited as of December 31, 2004, 2005 or 2006.</font></div>

        addition, in December 2006, the remuneration committee of the Board approved
        the
        payment of a dividend of US$5,331,000 by Trinity Research Limited to Rayville
        Limited on the &#8216;B&#8217; shares held by it. This will be used to fund executive
        compensation over the next number of years under the arrangement described
        above
        and will be reflected in compensation expense over the corresponding period.
        As
        this payment is matched by a loan from Rayville Limited to Trinity Research
        Limited which is repayable solely at the discretion of the remuneration
        committee of the Board and is unsecured and interest free, the Group has
        netted
        this dividend paid to Rayville Limited against the corresponding loan from
        Rayville Limited in the 2006 consolidated financial statements.</font></div>

      the US Dollar and the euro. Arising from this, where considered necessary,
      the

      forward to match a portion of its uncovered euro expenses at exchange rates
      lower than budgeted exchange rates. These forward contracts are primarily
      cashflow hedging instruments whose objective is to cover a portion of these

      judgement is required in determining our worldwide income tax expense provision.
      In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many transactions and
      calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these
      uncertainties arise as a consequence of revenue sharing and cost reimbursement
      arrangements among related entities, the process of identifying items of revenue
      and expense that qualify for preferential tax treatment and segregation of
      foreign and domestic income and expense to avoid double taxation. Although
      we
      believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the
      final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is
      reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences
      could have a material effect on our income tax provision and profit in the
      period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
      are determined using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates for the effects
      of net operating losses and temporary differences between the book and tax
      bases
      of assets and liabilities. </font></div>

      we
      have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax
      planning strategies in assessing whether deferred tax assets can be recognised,
      there is no assurance that these deferred tax assets may be realisable. The
      extent to which recognised deferred tax assets which are recognised are not
      realisable could have a material adverse impact on our income tax provision
      and
      net income in the period in which such determination is made. In addition,
      we
      operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audits in these
      jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues that may require an
      extended period of time for resolution. In management's opinion, adequate

        requires
        that for equity-settled share-based payment transactions (i.e. the issuance

        share options), the Group measures the services received and the corresponding
        increase in equity at fair value at the measurement date (which is the grant
        date) using a recognised valuation methodology for the valuation of financial
        instruments such as the trinomial model. Given that the share options granted
        do
        not vest until the completion of a specified period of service, the fair
        value
        is determined on the basis that the services to be rendered by employees
        as
        consideration for the granting of share options will be received over the
        vesting period, which is assessed at the grant date. The expense in the income
        statement in relation to share options represents the product of the total
        number of options anticipated to vest and the fair value of those options;
        this
        amount is allocated to accounting periods on a straight-line basis over the
        vesting period. Given that the performance conditions underlying the Group&#8217;s
        share options are non-market in nature, the cumulative charge to the income
        statement is only reversed where the performance condition is not met or
        where
        an employee in receipt of share options relinquishes service prior to completion
        of the expected vesting period. The proceeds received net of any directly
        attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value)
        and
        share premium when the options are exercised. Share based payments, to the
        extent that they relate to direct labour involved in development activities
        are
        capitalised.</font></div>

        SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services
        received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date
        fair value of the award (with limited exceptions), and recognise the cost
        over
        the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange
        for the award&#8212;the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No
        compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees
        do
        not render the requisite service. If an equity award is modified after the
        grant

        As
        a result of the differing accounting treatment under IFRS and US GAAP of

        last tranche of convertible notes is payable on January 2, 2007 there is
        no

      tax differences arise between IFRS and US GAAP due to the impact of the nature
      and timing of the reconciling items arising. The principal causes of the
      deferred tax differences are the reversal of deferred tax liabilities created
      under IFRS by the capitalisation of qualifying development expenditure, the
      impact of the write off of negative goodwill against non current assets acquired
      under US GAAP on the carrying value of the Group&#8217;s property, plant and equipment
      and the recognition of the deferred tax asset on unrealised intercompany stock
      profit reflected at the seller&#8217;s rate under US GAAP and at the buyer&#8217;s rate
      under IFRS. The Group&#8217;s deferred tax position under IFRS has also been adjusted
      to reflect the impact on deferred tax of the immediate write off of in-process
      R&amp;D acquired in a business combination at the date of consummation of the
      combination under US GAAP, the capitalisation of interest charges in
      self-constructed assets, the reversal of the deferred tax liability recognised
      on the equity component of convertible notes under IFRS and greater taxable
      temporary differences under US GAAP on tax-deductible goodwill as a lesser
      net
      book value has been recognised for this goodwill under IFRS than under US GAAP.
      The systematic amortisation of goodwill ceased under US GAAP in 2002. It
      continued for an additional two years under Previous GAAP until the transition
      to IFRS on January 1, 2004. </font></div>

      acquisition was partly funded by the issue of 2,783,984 &#8216;A&#8217; Ordinary Shares.
      Additional consideration was payable for the acquisition of the business of
      Fitzgerald, depending on the financial performance of that business during
      the
      first 18 months of operation post acquisition relative to its pre-acquisition
      performance. At December 31, 2004 the payment of these amounts was not
      considered to be probable, therefore no provisions for these amounts were made.
      At December 31, 2005 it was determined, based on the performance of Fitzgerald
      in 2005, that deferred consideration of US$1,002,000 was payable. This deferred
      consideration was paid during 2006.</font></div>

      Primus were also entitled to an additional consideration based on the growth
      of
      the Company during the remainder of 2005. At December 31 2005, the Group accrued

      payable as certain milestones concerning the performance of the business line
