Sincerely, Michael F. Helmstetter, Ph.D. President and Chief Executive Officer MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report 5 The Middle East remains one of the most volatile areas in the world. MRIGlobal is a national leader in supporting U.S. troops in the Mideast with real-time research capabilities for testing materials of interest for the presence of harmful weapon materials. Over the past decade, our scientists and engineers have designed, constructed, deployed, staffed, and maintained in-theater facilities equipped to provide state-ofthe-art tools and methods. This past year, MRIGlobal wrapped up a multi-year project for the U.S. Government that involved quickly analyzing large numbers of samples using wet chemistry, spectrometry, spectroscopy, and other methods. We look forward to continuing our work designing, constructing, deploying, and staffing warfighter support facilities as a global priority for our nation. Bringing Stability to the Middle East Journal of Activities: •• Developed three centers to train personnel on sample preparation and analytical procedures •• Procured, fabricated, and installed over 80+ facilities for various government clients •• Purchased a Laboratory Rehearsal Facility in the Mid-Atlantic Region, and a production facility in North Kansas City, MO Facility Design-Build Team OCONUS MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report Sample Analysis Sample Collecting 7 Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. Each year 12.7 million people discover they have cancer, and 7.6 million people die from the disease. Research plays an important role in helping doctors and patients increase the survival rate for many cancers. Scientists around the world turn to the National Cancer Institute’s Centralized Chemopreventive Agent Repository when conducting important, ground-breaking research. This year MRIGlobal will begin providing services for this Repository, including acquisition, storage, management, analysis, and delivery of new cancer drug products. For years MRIGlobal has operated repositories for industrial and government clients, such as NCI’s Chemical Carcinogen Reference Standard Repository, which served such distinguished organizations as Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, and Finnish Food Safety Authority. Supporting Cancer Research to Save Lives Worldwide Journal of Activities: •• Entered our 39th year of providing chemical management support on the National Toxicology Program; MRIGlobal provides chemical procurement and handling and analytical chemistry support for NTP •• Prepared for a major project that supports high throughput sample processing of more than 5,000 chemicals for the National Cancer Institute •• Provided SAIC with clinical diagnostic services to support NCI’s Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis •• Began a project with BioMed Valley Discoveries to study ex vivo bacterial detection MRIGlobal Study Director John Cookinham, Analytical Chemistry Support for NTP Liquidraphy atogrometry ChroSmpe ct ss a M MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report Natural Product Testing s Sample Analysi 9 Using our history in R&D work as a springboard for managing more complex projects, MRIGlobal has undertaken several large programs in recent years that integrate science with engineering. For these large, integrated projects, MRIGlobal uses a systems engineering process that has been certified to meet the standards of ISO 9001:2008. We are using this process on our Product Director Test Equipment Strategy and Support (PD TESS)-sponsored programs, including the Individual Protection Ensemble (IPE) Mannequin System and the Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) Test Grid Retrofit. And we adapted our process to support several mobile laboratory design, construction, and maintenance projects. Our systems engineering process also is being used on the High Containment Facility (HCF) project for PD TESS at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC). The project, which involves designing and building a facility that will be used for testing highly toxic chemical agent threats, recently broke ground. Integrating Science and Engineering to Protect U.S. Soldiers and Citizens Journal of Activities: •• Entered the final year of the IPE Mannequin System project, with fabrication and testing of the mannequin and construction of the test chamber •• Under an ECBC Omnibus Contract, began work as the systems integrator for a program that involves developing chem/bio detection systems •• Began work on several task orders under a Chemical Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives Technologies contract that involves method validation for attributing home-made explosives and for direct analysis of biologicals •• Completed operational verification and began final validation of a chemical referee system at DPG for the Test Grid Upgrade Program Mannequin Rendering MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report Preparing for Dissemination Test Dugway Test Grid Program Team Disseminamtion Syste 11 MRIGlobal has supported the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) biological threat reduction program for more than 10 years. Most recently MRIGlobal is supporting DTRA objectives in Kazakhstan to improve disease surveillance capabilities and enhance biosafety and biosecurity practices. In Kazakhstan, a multi-disciplinary team from MRIGlobal is partnered with prime contractor AECOM. One key activity in the program includes the construction and startup of a Central Reference Laboratory that will support an international effort to detect, diagnose, and respond to natural and bioterrorist infectious disease outbreaks. The Central Reference Laboratory will increase the security of the existing Kazakhstani collections of Especially Dangerous Pathogens and strengthen the scientific capabilities of the Kazakhstani and Central Asia scientists. This facility will be owned and operated by the Republic of Kazakhstan. MRIGlobal has conducted similar work in support of the Nunn-Lugar cooperative threat reduction program in other former Soviet states, including Georgia and Uzbekistan. Improving Biosafety and Biosecurity in Central Asia Journal of Activities: •• Supported the design and implementation of a biosafety officer training program that will help Kazakhstan laboratory practices comply with international health standards •• Conducted training through tabletop and field exercises, and classroom/lab instruction (diagnostic testing, workflow, equipment operations) •• Devised a comprehensive metrics system to evaluate implementation of the program Romanov Pala Tashkent, UZce MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report d mpinthgebir m TliiezneShan u H u e ik e H Br Almaty TeamHig hw s Nye, a ina Mounta Kutaisi, Georgia •• Completed security upgrades at pathogen repository sites •• Completed a national gap analysis on Kazakh animal and human disease detection and response capabilities •• Supported the design, construction and transition to operations of two Biosafety Level 3 laboratories Kazach Scientific Center for Quarantine and Zoonotic Diseases 13 With its industrial manufacturing sector growing, the Brazilian economy is predicted to become one of the five largest in the world. A common concern in industrial areas is fugitive dust—particulates in the air produced by heavy wind or damage to the ground surface from mining operations, heavy construction, or use of roadways. This dust has the potential to harm health and the environment. MRIGlobal has distinctive expertise in sampling and analyzing fugitive dust. In one recent project, MRIGlobal scientists studied emissions from two neighboring industrial facilities and determined that the environmental control systems already in place were sufficient for controlling fugitive emissions in an important industrial area. Serving Industrial Sector, Protecting Environment in Brazil and Beyond Journal of Activities: •• Launched the international Center for the Study of Open Source Emissions, a voluntary consensus organization that serves as a catalyst for collaboration in developing standards in this field of study •• MRIGlobal’s Chatten Cowherd, Ph.D., Principal Advisor, is named a finalist in R&D Magazine’s 2010 Scientist of the Year •• Continued a program to evaluate the performance of large wind fences used to control dust at port facilities in Brazil •• Continued a 10-year field program in the Mojave Desert of California that evaluates the effectiveness of surface stabilization measures in preventing large-scale dust storms Sandstorm Buildup MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report Helicopter Brownout Mining Haul Road •• Undertook a new program to evaluate the road-dust controls at large surface mines in Australia MR Chatten CIGo lobal’s wh Principal Aderd, Ph.D., visor 15 Solar power around the globe has been expanding since the late 1990s. As solar technology advances, so does the need to test and validate near-market products. When the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), a public research institution funded by the Japanese government, wanted to compare results of a concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) system in Japan with an identical system in the United States, it selected SolarTAC, a test facility in Aurora, Colorado, as the U.S. location to erect the identical CPV system, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to test the system. CPV uses lenses or mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto high-efficiency solar cells. Currently, SolarTAC, which is managed and operated by MRIGlobal, hosts a wide array of solar technology from around the globe. Helping Pave the Way for Renewable Energy Worldwide Journal of Activities: •• Provided the land and infrastructure for SolarTAC members to accomplish: of a large, 1.2 megawatt ˚ Installation (MW) utility-scale battery to evaluate how energy storage can assist in operating a distribution system with high levels of solar production by SolarTAC site member Xcel Energy and testing of a ½-MW CPV ˚ Installation System for long-term reliability by SolarTAC member Amonix of a Concentrating Solar ˚ Construction Power (CSP) Trough Assembly Building by SolarTAC member Abengoa AIST and NR EL MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report SolarTAC of a 100-kilowatt PV ˚ Installation System for baseline and performance comparisons by SolarTAC member SunEdison CPV System •• Hosted a grand opening celebration for national and international VIPs SolarT Colorado GAoC Grand Opening w h and MRIGvloernor John Hickenit looper bal Directo Smith (righ r Dustin t) 17 Every day, road crashes claim roughly 3,200 lives worldwide—a yearly total of 1.2 million deaths. Fifty times that many are injured, and this toll is growing. MRIGlobal is a leader in evaluating highway design, traffic safety, and traffic operations and advising transportation agencies on how to create safer roadways. MRIGlobal’s research has contributed to safe, practical, and cost-effective solutions to highway safety challenges around the world. In conjunction with the International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) and the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, MRIGlobal has had a key role in developing Safer Roads Investment Plans for Argentina, Belize, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, and Paraguay to help reduce fatal and serious injury crashes.

MRIGlobal’s contract research operations had an all-time record revenue of $132 million, besting the previous year’s record by nearly 18 percent. NREL’s revenue of $495 million for the 12 months ending June 30, 2011, was also at a record level and exceeded 2010 by 14 percent. Growth has been largely the result of focused attention on meeting customer requirements and an intentional shift toward the pursuit of larger integrated programs. MRIGlobal’s combined revenues for the year were $627 million. MRIGlobal’s contract research sales for FY2011 were $163 million. This bodes well for expansion of MRIGlobal’s mission into FY2012. MRIGlobal continues to invest in strategically significant areas of its business with continued emphasis on internal research and development, strategic hires, technical equipment updates, and refreshed facilities. MRIGlobal furthered its facility expansion by opening a nearly 90,000-square-foot-facility in North Kansas City, Mo., in FY2011. $140 $130 $120 $110 $100 $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 $0 $ in millions $132 $112 $80 $80 2007 2008 $85 2009 2010 Fiscal Year MRIGlobal 2011 Annual Report 2011 $600 $500 $475 $425 $400 $375 $350 $325 $300 $275 $250 $225 $200 $175 $150 $125 $100 $75 $50 $25 $0 chemical defense 60% energy & environment 3% infrastructure 6% life sciences 10% food & agriculture 5% biological defense 16% $ in millions $495 $436 $304 $242 $192 2007 2008 2009 2010 Fiscal Year 2011 solar 20% wind and water power 8% science 3% information & deployment 1% work for others 5% analysis 2% biomass 7% fuel cell technologies 4% vehicle technologies 6% buildings 9% geothermal 1% ARRA 25% other 4% integrated deployment 5% 25 MRIGlobal Board of Directors Board of Trustees Internal Audit Gary J.
