Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kirks Tire Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of 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 financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kirk’s Tire Ltd. as of January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.
Basis of Accounting
As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 12 to the financial statements.

KIRKS TIRE LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012
1. Nature of operations
The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on January 30, 1990 and operates a tire distribution sales and service business.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
These financial statements are prepared in accordance and in compliance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“ASPE”), as issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”).
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and volume rebates to customers.
Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.
Translation of Foreign Currency
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction months. The resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The contracts are measured at fair value and the resulting gains or losses, that would be realized if the position was sold before the valuation dates, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.
Vendor Rebates and Allowances
The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a
7
KIRKS TIRE LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012
variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.
Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.
Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Automotive | | | - | | | 30% declining balance basis |
Computer equipment | | | - | | | 55% declining balance basis |
Manufacturing equipment | | | - | | | 30% straight-line basis |
Shop equipment | | | - | | | 20% declining balance basis |
Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.
Investments
The company accounts for its investments using the cost method. The carrying value of each investment is reviewed annually and written down below cost if there is a loss of value.
Income taxes
The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income taxes have not been recorded as they are considered insignificant.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises 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
8
KIRKS TIRE LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the financial statements are the valuation of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, and the estimated useful life of long-lived assets for purposes of calculating amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial Instruments
Measurement of financial instruments
The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable from related parties.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable, loans payable to related parties and shareholders’ loans.
Impairment
Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.
Transaction costs
The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, the carrying amount of the financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value is reflected in the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumptions.
3. Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable consists of the following:

11. Financial Instruments
Credit Risk
The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.
The Company is susceptible to concentration of credit risk as its accounts receivable consists of 51% from related parties (January 31, 2013—35%, January 31, 2012—79%) and revenue consists of 64% from related parties (January 31, 2013—66%, January 31, 2012—69%).
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. At January 31, 2014 the company had a working capital balance of $14,043,510 (January 31, 2013—$7,668,895, January 31, 2012—$6,246,293).
Foreign Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is susceptible to foreign currency risk on its US dollar cash balance in the amount of $418,984 as at January 31, 2014 (January 31, 2013—$405,552, January 31, 2012—$618,371). The Company mitigates this risk through the use of foreign currency futures contracts.
12. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.
a) Income Taxes
Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement. The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position.

KIRKS TIRE LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012
Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the Company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.
b) Variable interest entities
The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interests that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
c) Preferred shares
Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes preferred shares at stated capital value as part of equity if there is not an unconditional obligation for the Company to redeem the shares by transferring an asset on a specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to occur. For the Company, there is no unconditional obligation for the preferred shares to be redeemed at the option of the holder at January 31, 2012, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2014, therefore the stated value of the preferred shares has been reported as an equity component.
d) Comprehensive Income
US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financials statements.
