Managements
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Management of Zila, Inc (Zila or the
Company) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal controls over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f)
and
15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The Companys internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
Companys assets that could have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements.
Management, with the participation of the Companys
principal executive and principal financial officers, assessed
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of July 31, 2008. This assessment
was performed using the criteria established under the Internal
Control-Integrated Framework established by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on the assessment performed using the criteria established
by COSO, management has concluded that the Company maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of
July 31, 2008.

firm that audited the financial statements included in this
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, has issued an

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm On Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Zila, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited Zila, Inc.s internal control over
financial reporting as of July 31, 2008, based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).
Zila, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A,
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the companys internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We 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 effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Zila, Inc. maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of
July 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of Zila, Inc. as of July 31,
2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, comprehensive income, shareholders equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
July 31, 2008 and our report dated October 3, 2008
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Zila, Inc. as of July 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
shareholders equity, and cash flows for each year ended
July 31, 2008, 2007 (Restated) and 2006. In connection with
our audits of the financial statements, we have also audited the
financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index.
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility
of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule
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. 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, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements
and schedules. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Zila, Inc. at July 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each year ended
July 31, 2008, 2007 (Restated) and 2006, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Zila,
Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of
July 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) and our report dated October 3, 2008 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
