COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR US READERS ON CANADA – US REPORTING DIFFERENCES
To the Board of Directors of
Gammon Gold Inc.
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph):
-that refers to the audit report of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our report to the shareholders dated March 29, 2010, except as to paragraphs 3 through 4 of the accompanying restated Management’s Report on Internal Control of Financial Reporting, which are as of May 13, 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not require a reference to the audit report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the financial statement auditors’ report. Our report expresses our opinion that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 because of the effect of a material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states the Company did not maintain effective controls over the foreign currency translation of future income taxes arising on the acquisition of an entity in a foreign jurisdiction.
