REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Participants and Administrator of the Nabi Savings & Retirement Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Nabi Savings & Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 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, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
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, 2004, 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 Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans 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 & RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Plan
The following description of the Nabi Savings & Retirement Plan, or the Plan, provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans 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. The Plan was adopted on April 1, 1985. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the calendar quarter following the employees date of hire.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA.
Contributions. Contributions to the Plan are made by employees, in the form of elective deferrals, and by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals. Each year, participants may elect to defer for contribution to the Plan up to 92% of their pre-tax annual compensation, limited by statutory maximum contributions, as defined by the Plan. Participants may also request that eligible rollover distributions from other qualified retirement plans be transferred into the Plan and credited to individual accounts maintained for their benefit. The amount contributed to the Plan annually is determined by the Nabi Biopharmaceuticals Board of Directors, in its discretion. With respect to the Plan year ending December 31,2004, Nabi Biopharmaceuticals contributed to the Plan a discretionary company matching contribution equal to 100% for an employees elective deferral contributions up to 4% of the participants earnings.
Investment Options. Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct the investment of the employee and employer contributions credited to his or her account into any of the Plans investment fund options. Participants may change their investment options on a daily basis. The Plan permits investment in Nabi Biopharmaceuticals common stock. The Plan implements participant directions to invest in Nabi Biopharmaceuticals common stock by purchasing the requested shares from the market.
Participant Accounts. Each participants account is credited with (a) the participants elective deferral contributions and rollover contributions, if any, (b) the participants share of employer contributions, (c) investment gains (or losses) attributable to (a) and (b); and each such account is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Employer contributions and administrative costs are allocated among accounts based on participants respective account balances or contributions, in accordance with formula set forth in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided by the participants vested account balance.
Vesting. Participants are 100% vested in their own contributions, current employer contributions and earnings thereon; however, certain employer contributions made for Plan years prior to 2002 were subject to vesting over time.
Participant Loans. Participants may borrow from their Plan accounts subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balances. Loan repayment
5
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 a portion of the participants account balance equal to the amount of the loan 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 distribution of their vested account balance (or, in the case of a financial hardship, that portion of their vested account balance attributable to their elective deferral contributions (excluding, without limitation, earnings thereon) and necessary to meet the hardship.
Forfeitures. The portion of account balances attributable to certain employer contributions made for Plan years prior to 2002 that was not vested when a participant terminated service with Nabi Biopharmaceuticals was subject to forfeiture. Forfeitures are held under the Plan for allocation and/or disposition in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Effective January 1, 2002, the Nabi-Rockville Savings & Retirement Plan merged with and into the Plan. Forfeitures under the Nabi-Rockville Savings & Retirement Plan in the amount of $12,000 were applied to reduce partially the employer contribution to the Plan relating to the 2002 Plan year.
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 Plans 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. Shares of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals common stock included in participant accounts are valued at quoted market price at year-end. 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 out of Plan assets or, at Nabi Biopharmaceuticals discretion, directly by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals in whole or in part. During 2004, the Plan paid, with its assets, all administrative fees that it incurred.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

5. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 5, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and that the related trust is exempt from taxation. 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 under Code Section 401(a) and the related trust is tax-exempt under Code Section 501(a).
