INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Suoftec Light Metal Production and Distribution Co. Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Suoftec Light Metal Production and Distribution Co. Ltd. (the “Company”), a company that is incorporated in Hungary, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statement of profit and loss and cash flows for the year then ended and the supplement comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  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 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Hungary.

Accounting principles generally accepted in Hungary vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of shareholders’ equity and the statement of profit and loss for each of the periods presented.  The impact of the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 has been summarized in Note 23.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
 
The books and records of the Company are maintained in accordance with the current Act C of 2000 on Accounting (the “Law”) and generally accepted accounting principles in Hungary. Busi­ness records and books have been maintained in Euros as a result of stipulations of the Corporate Charter.

A summary of the accounting policy of the Company and the method and procedures of evaluation are described below:

2.1
Basis of Accounting — The Law entered into force on January 1, 2001. The attached Balance Sheet reflecting conditions as at December 31, 2008 and 2009 as well as the Profit and Loss Statement for the years than ended were both drafted in accor­dance with the current Law on Accounting.

The Company possesses the mandatory regulations required in Section 14 of paragraph 5 of the Accounting Law.

The Internal Revenue Service completed a full scope tax audit regarding the years 2004 and 2005. No liabilities arose as result of the tax audit. The Internal Revenue Service may audit the books and records anytime within 6 years after the tax year and may impose additional tax or penalty. No occurrences have come to the attention of the Management of the Company that would result in material liabilities.

 
Completion Date of the Balance Sheet — The Company has set forth the date of February 15 of the subsequent year as the completion date of the Bal­ance Sheet for the year 2007 and set forth the date of January 15 of the subsequent year as the completion date of the Balance Sheet for the years 2008 and 2009.

The completion date of the Bal­ance Sheet changed in 2008 on request from the American Owner. The date brought forward did not cause any problem.

 
Intangible Assets — The capitalized value of intellectual property (software applications) is amortized over 3 years by the Company.

The planned amortization period for rights of pecuniary value is 6 years.

2.4
Tangible Assets — Purchased tangible fixed assets are stated by the Company at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation.
 
Individual items of tangible fixed assets below a purchase price of HUF 50,000 are fully depreciated when put into use (capitalized).
 
- 7 -


Depreciation is calculated by the Company on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life cycle of the related asset. The basis of the calculation of the depreciation is the day. The expected useful life cycles have been determined with a view to historical data provided by the Owners.

The following useful life cycles have been taken into account for the purpose of setting depreciation rates of tangible assets in accordance with the Law:

 
Year
   
Intangible Assets
3–6
Buildings
25
Production machinery, equipment
5–10
Other machinery, equipment
3–6

2.5
Valuation of Stocks — The Company keeps records of the quantity and value of stocks and keeps inventory records in the course of the year. The Company assesses the current stock value at weighed average price of the latest purchases.

The volume of self-manufactured stocks included in the Balance Sheet is determined on the basis of inventory at year end. The value of self-manufactured stocks is assessed at direct prime cost.

2.6
The format of the Profit and Loss Statement — The Company completed the Profit and Loss Statement according to the total cost method (version “A”).

2.7
Valuation of Currency Stock — The Company records receivables from customers and liabilities due to suppliers (creditors) at the current exchange rate applied by its bank between the daily base foreign exchange and other foreign exchanges. Transactions associated with bank accounts are recorded with regard to the daily average price of foreign exchange.

RECONCILATION TO UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The accompanying consolidated financial statement are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on Hungary (“Hungarian GAAP”) which differs in certain respect from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).   The following is a reconciliation of the statement of profit and loss and shareholders’ equity for 2008 and 2009 prepared in accordance with Hungarian GAAP to net income as determined under U.S. GAAP, with a summary of material variations.

Shareholders' equity according to U.S. GAAP
  67,990     32,871  
 

(a)  
Under Hungarian GAAP, manufacturing overhead is expensed as incurred.  Under U.S. GAAP, normal manufacturing overhead is capitalized during the manufacturing process and is included in inventory.  As a result, under U.S. GAAP, adjustments have been made by the Company to capitalize its manufacturing overhead into inventory.  In addition, under Hungarian GAAP, temporary taxable differences are not recognized, and as such, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are not recognized.  Under U.S. GAAP, temporary taxable differences are recognized and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet.  Historically, any temporary taxable differences have been material, however, during 2009, the Company impaired its property, plant and equipment, creating a temporary taxable difference under U.S. GAAP that gave rise to a €3.8 million deferred tax asset.  A € 3.8 million valuation allowance was then established against this deferred tax asset in accordance with U.S. GAAP due to the cumulative historical losses recorded by the Company.

(b)  
Under Hungarian GAAP, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Under U.S. GAAP, property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and management is required to review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  If an evaluation of recoverability is required under U.S. GAAP, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with the asset or asset group are compared to the asset’s carrying amount.  During 2009, the Company recorded an impairment of € 20.0 million under U.S. GAAP because there were certain indicators of impairment and the carrying amount of the assets were not recoverable.
 
There were no material variations between Hungarian GAAP and U.S. GAAP with respect to the cash flows that have been included in Note 3 of the supplementary annex.
