INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of

Kelron Corporate Services Inc. and Kelron Distribution Systems (Cleveland) LLC

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Kelron Corporate Services Inc. and Kelron Distribution Systems (Cleveland) LLC which comprise the combined balance sheet as at March 31, 2012, March 31, 2011 and April 1, 2010 and the combined statement of operations, statement of retained earnings and statement of cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kelron Corporate Services Inc. and Kelron Distribution Systems (Cleveland) LLC as at March 31, 2012, March 31, 2011 and April 1, 2010 and their combined operations and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Group adopted the new accounting standards for private enterprises (“ASPE”) adopted by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”). In accordance with Section 1500 of the CICA Handbook - Part II, “First Time Adoption”, the date of transition to the new standards is April 1, 2010, and the Group has prepared and presented an opening balance sheet at the date of transition to the new standards. The opening balance sheet is the starting point for the Group’s accounting under the new standards. In its opening balance sheet, under the recommendations of Section 1500, the Group:

 

  (a) recognized all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by the new standards;

 

  (b) did not recognize items as assets or liabilities if the new standards do not permit such recognition;

 

  (c) reclassified items that it recognized previously as one type of asset, liability or component of equity, but are recognized as a different type of asset, liability or component of equity under the new standards; and

 

  (d) applied the new standards in measuring all recognized assets and liabilities.

In accordance with the requirements of Section 1500, the accounting policies set out in note 3 have been consistently applied to all years presented and adjustments resulting from the adoption of the new standards have been applied retrospectively excluding cases where optional exemptions available under Section 1500 have been applied. On adoption of the new standards, the Group has elected to use the following optional exemptions available under Section 1500:

 

  (a) Business combinations -

The Group has used one of the exemptions in Section 1500 and has elected not to apply retrospectively Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, to business combinations that occurred prior to April 1, 2010.

 

  (b) Related party transactions -

The Group has used one of the exemptions provided in Section 1500 and has elected not to restate assets or liabilities related to transactions with related parties when the transaction occurred prior to April 1, 2010.

In preparing its opening ASPE balance sheet, the Group assessed that there were no material differences between the amounts reported on March 31, 2010 under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and on April 1, 2010 upon transition to ASPE. As such, no reconciliation between its financial statements under GAAP and ASPE is presented in this note.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  (a) General -

The Group’s accounting policies are in accordance with ASPE and are applied consistently.

 


- 3 -

 

  (b) Property and equipment -

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided as follows:

 

Computer equipment    - Straight-line over two years;
Machinery    - 20% per annum on the declining balance;
Furniture and fixtures    - 20% per annum on the declining balance;
Computer software    - Straight-line over two years;
Leasehold improvements    - Straight-line over five years;
Automobiles    - 30% per annum on the declining balance.

One half of the above rates is applied in the year of acquisition.

As per Section 3063 of the CICA Handbook - Part II, “Impairment of long-lived assets”, the Group tests for impairment loss of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances occur, which may cause their carrying value to exceed the total undiscounted cash flows expected from their use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss, if any, is determined as the excess of carrying value of the asset over its fair value and, if identified, is to be recognized as an expense in the impairment period. In the current year no events or circumstances occurred that warranted testing for impairment.

 

  (c) Goodwill -

Goodwill represents the purchase price of business acquisitions over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in such acquisitions. Goodwill is allocated as at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicated the asset might be impaired.

 

  (d) Revenue recognition -

Freight forwarding revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, freight has been delivered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Transportation management is recognized when services are rendered.

 

  (e) Income taxes -

The liability method of tax allocation is used to account for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed. In assessing the realizability of future income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of future income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and/or tax planning strategies.

 

  (f) Foreign currency translation -

A portion of the Group’s transactions are denominated in US dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Other assets are translated at their historic rates. Revenue and expense items are translated into US dollars at average rates of exchange, which approximate the rates in effect on the dates on which such items are recognized in income during the period.

 


- 4 -

 

  (g) Measurement uncertainty -

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ASPE requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may vary from the current estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which such adjustments become known. Significant estimates in these financial statements include the useful lives of equipment, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the assessment of realization of future income tax balances.

 

  (h) Leases -

Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of the property to the Group are accounted for as capital leases. Capital lease obligations reflect the present value of future minimum lease payments, discounted at the appropriate interest rate. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred.

 

  (i) Foreign currency forward contracts -

The Group utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign currency forward contracts are speculative in nature and are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized into income at the reporting date.

 

  (j) Investment in life insurance -

The Group records and measures its life insurance policy at its cash surrender value.

The Group has net operating loss carry forwards available to be applied against future years’ income. Due to the losses from operations and expected future operating results, it is not more likely than not that the future tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carry forward will be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments, accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded for future tax assets and current income taxes as of March 31, 2012.

These loss carry forwards expire as follows:

 

In the year ending March 31, 2014

   $ 2,657

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, investment in life insurance, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, government remittances payable, amounts due from and due to related parties, and accrued bonus payable.

The Group is subject to interest rate risk on its fluctuating rate debt. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Group is subject to credit risk through it accounts receivable, investment in life insurance, and amounts due from related parties. The Group, in the normal course of operations monitors the financial condition of its customers. The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that corresponds to the specific credit risk of its customers, historical trends and economic conditions.

Approximately 64% (March 31, 2011 - 60%, April 1, 2010 - 59%) of accounts receivable and 44% (March 31, 2011 - 44%, April 1, 2010 - 41%) of accounts payable are subject to foreign exchange risk as they are denominated in US dollars. The Group manages its foreign exchange rate risk on its operating results through the use of forward contracts.

As at March 31, 2012, the Canadian dollar amounts to be received under foreign currency forward contracts totaled $3,524,710. The average contractual exchange rate was 1.00 and the settlement dates of the outstanding contracts were less than one year. The exchange rate as at year end was 0.99. The fair value of these contracts was a $33,460 gain at March 31, 2012, and was added to sales in the determination of profit (loss). The unrealized gain has been included in accounts receivable on the balance sheet.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due or at reasonable cost. The Group manages liquidity risk primarily by maintaining sufficient unused capacity within its credit facilities. The unused capacity at March 31, 2012 was approximately $2,024,000.

There were no material differences in the presentation of the cash flow statement under US GAAP.

 

(a) Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes

For the purposes of US GAAP, the Group applies Accounting Standards Codification 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). This standard prescribes a recognition and measurement model for the accounting of uncertain tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

An income tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits, and is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Under Canadian GAAP, the Group recognizes and measures income tax positions based on the best estimate of the amount that is more likely than not of being realized.

Under ASC 740, uncertain tax positions for which the timing of their resolution is not expected in the current year should be recognized as long-term liabilities.

 

(b) The Group files tax returns in Canada, with the exception of KCVL. Generally, the years 2009 to 2012 remain subject to examination by tax authorities.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, is as follows:
