AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Directors of
Fenwick Automotive Products Limited and Introcan Inc.
We have audited the combined balance sheet of Fenwick Automotive Products Limited and lntrocan Inc. as at March 31, 2008 and the combined statements of earnings and retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. These combined 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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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.
In our opinion, these combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at March 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
f)
|
Capital leases
|
The company's policy is to record capital leases, which transfer substantially all benefits and risks incident to ownership of property, as acquisitions of assets and to record the incurrences of corresponding obligations as liabilities. Obligations under capital leases are reduced by lease payments net of imputed interest.
|
g)
|
Income taxes
|
The company accounts for its income taxes using the provisions of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3465, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of future income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or incomc lax return. Future lax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply in the years in which assets and liabilities are expcctcd to be recovered or settled.
|
h)
|
Foreign exchange
|
Foreign exchange transactions arc translated using the temporal method. Under this method, all monetary items are translated into Canadian funds at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange for the month of each transaction. Gains and losses arising out of transactions are included in the determination of earnings for the year.
|
i)
|
Pension plans
|
The company maintains defined contribution pension plans for certain employees. The pension cost for these plans charged as an expense is equal to the required contributions for the year.
|
j)
|
Use of estimates
|
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the measurement of revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, product warranty and return provisions, inventory obsolescence and amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
i)
|
Fair value
|
|
The company's financial instruments consist of instruments with various maturities. The fair value of accounts receivable, loans receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable approximates their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Capital lease obligations and long-term debt are at fair value.
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
|
ii)
|
Currency risk
|
|
The company realizes approximately 70% of its sales approximately 45% of it cost of sales and expenses in foreign currency. Consequently, some assets and revenues are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations. As at March 31, 2008 the long-term debt is repayable in a foreign currency.

In the normal course of business, the Company evaluates the financial position of its customers on a regular basis and examines the credit history of new customers.

The letters of guarantee include a guarantee for unpaid rent to a maximum $579,000 ($562,182 US) for two subsidiary companies. Historically, the Company has not made any payments under letters of guarantee to third parties and therefore no amount has been accrued in the financial statements with respect to the guarantees.
|
b)
|

a) As allowed under GAAP, deferred start-up costs were capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line basis over a four year period. Under US GAAP start-up costs are expensed as incurred, thus the unamortized deferred start-up costs at March 31, 2008, the amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2008, and the related tax impact of the deferral and amortization expense for those years were adjusted from the financial statement to comply with US GAAP.

|
b) The company has presented its redeemable preference shares as equity at March 31, 200S. Under US GAAP these shares are required to be presented as liabilities, and accordingly an adjustment was made to record the redeemable preference shares as liabilities at March 31, 2008 to comply with US GAAP.
