REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Administrator
of Nabi Savings
and Retirement Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Nabi Savings and Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2001, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

NABI SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Description of Plan

The following description of the Nabi Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. Copies of this document are available from the plan administrator.

General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals (formerly known as “Nabi”). The Plan was adopted effective April 1, 1985. Employees are eligible for participation in the Plan immediately after attaining the age of 21 and completing one year of service and may enroll in the Plan on the first day of the calendar quarter following the employee’s one-year anniversary.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions. Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of their pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified retirement plans. Nabi Biopharmaceuticals’ contributions are discretionary at the option of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals’ Board of Directors. Nabi Biopharmaceuticals has contributed to the Plan an amount equal to 50 percent of each participant’s contribution, up to a maximum amount equal to 2 percent of the participant’s earnings. In 2000, Nabi Biopharmaceuticals amended the Plan to permit investment in Nabi Biopharmaceuticals common stock. In 1999, Nabi Biopharmaceuticals adopted a resolution and amended the Plan to permit qualified non-elective contributions to be made by eligible participants.

Investment Options. Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct participant and employer contributions to any of the Plan’s fund options. Participants may change their investment options on a daily basis.

Participant Accounts. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) employer contributions and (b) Plan investment results, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participants’ account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided by the participant’s vested account balance.

Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions, the employer contributions and earnings thereon.

Participant Loans. Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balances. Loan repayment periods are for a maximum of 5 years unless the loan is for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case a reasonable repayment period not to exceed 30 years is determined at the time of the loan. The loans are secured by 50% of the participant’s vested account balance and bear a reasonable rate of interest based on the local prevailing rate on the date approved. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deduction.

Payment of Benefits. Upon death, disability, retirement, termination of service, or financial hardship, participants or their designated beneficiaries may receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested amount of their accounts.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Valuation of Investments. The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The shares of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals common stock are valued at quoted market price at year-end. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Administrative Expenses. Fees and expenses of the Plan for legal, accounting and other administrative services may be paid directly by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals or, at Nabi Biopharmaceuticals’ discretion, in whole or in part out of Plan assets. Nabi Biopharmaceuticals has elected for the Plan to pay substantially all administrative fees incurred by the Plan during 2001.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

3. Investments

The fair values of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are as follows:

4. Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Nabi Biopharmaceuticals has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

5. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 27, 2000, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

6. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

The following is a reconciliation of net assets per the financial statements to the Form 5500 that Nabi Biopharmaceuticals expects to file by July 31, 2002:

7. Subsequent Event

The Adoption Agreements will be amended to (i) eliminate age and service requirements for, and class exclusions from, eligibility to participate in the Plan, (ii) change the entry date for eligible employees to the first payroll date of each calendar quarter following their date of hire, (iii) adopt the elapsed time method for computing service and (iv) make certain other technical and miscellaneous changes.
