NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Canadian Funds)
(Unaudited)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
| 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which, except as described in Note 14, conform, in all material respects, with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. |
| (a) | General |
| In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as at September 30, 2003 and the consolidated results of operations and the consolidated cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. |
| While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. |
| The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. However, the interim financial statements do not include all disclosures necessary to conform in all respects to the requirements of Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. |
| (b) | Consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the wholly-owned subsidiaries, Stirling (Israel) Ltd., and Stirling Connectors, U.S.A., Inc., and as of November 1, 2002, Allied Wire and Cable Ltd., “(Allied)” as a result of the Company’s ability to convert it’s convertible debenture into 100% ownership of all Allied issued and outstanding common shares for a nominal consideration. On May 9, 2003, the Company exercised its option to acquire all the outstanding shares of Allied. |
| The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company after eliminations of inter-company transactions. |
| (c) | Revenue Recognition |
| Sales are recognized when legal title to the goods has been passed to the customer, which generally occurs when products are shipped from the Company’s plant or warehouses, and collection is reasonably assured. |
