INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
BEMAG TRANSFORMER INC.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BEMAG TRANSFORMER INC., which comprise the balance sheet as at June 30, 2011 and the statements of earnings, retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
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 comply with ethical requirements and 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 auditor's 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. 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 financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Because we were appointed auditors of the Company during the current year, we were not able to observe the counting of physical inventories at the beginning of the year nor satisfy ourselves concerning those inventory quantities by alternative means. Since opening inventories enter into the determination of the results of operations and cash flows, we were unable to determine whether adjustments to cost of sales, income taxes, net earnings for the year, opening retained earnings and cash provided from operations might be necessary.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BEMAG TRANSFORMER INC. as at June 30, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Other Matter
The financial statements of BEMAG TRANSFORMER INC. for the year ended June 30, 2010 have not been audited. We do not express any opinion on these comparative figures.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| | |
| Inventories | |
| |
Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the cost being determined using the first in, first out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated necessary selling costs. Work in process and finished goods are valued at the lower of weigthted average production cost and net realizable value. The cost of work in process and finished goods includes the cost of raw materials and the applicable share of the cost of labour and fixed and variable production overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated necessary selling cost. Periodical reviews of the inventory are performed for excess inventory, obsolescence and declines in market value below cost and allowances are recorded against the inventory balance for any such declines. The Company writes down the value of ending inventory for obsolete and unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value. These reviews require management to estimate future demand for products and evaluate market conditions. Possible changes in these estimates could result in a write-down of inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required. |
| |
| Property, plant and equipment |
| |
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost . Amortization is based on their estimated useful life using the following methods, rates and periods:
| | Methods | |
| Security equipment | Straight-line method | 5% |
| Machinery and equipment | Straight-line method | 5% and 10% |
| Bridge crane | Declining balance | 20% |
| Automotive equipment | Declining balance | 30% |
| Office furniture | Declining balance | 20% |
| Computer hardware | Declining balance | 30% |
| Leasehold improvements | Straight-line method | Terms of the lease |
| Machinery under construction | Not depreciated | |

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| | |
| Impairment of long-lived assets | |
| |
| Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when their carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from their use and eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. |
| | |
| Income taxes | |
| |
| The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income taxes are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax basis, using the enacted and substantively enacted income tax rates for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is more likely than not they will be realized. |
| | |
| Foreign currency translation | |
| |
| The Company uses the temporal method to translate its foreign currency transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Translation gains or losses are included in earnings. |
| | |
| Derivative financial instruments | |
| |
| Derivative financial instruments held for trading or speculative purposes or that are not eligible for hedge accounting are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. |

AS AT JUNE 30, 2011
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| | |
| Revenue recognition and accrued warranty reserve | |
| |
| Revenue is recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery occurs, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (4) collectibility is reasonably assured and (5) customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated. Revenue is recognized on the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer upon delivery, provided that the Company maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition, except when customers have the right of return or when the Company warrants the product. The Company records a provision for future returns, based on historical experience at the time of shipment of products to customers. The Company warrants some of its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship for a period of one year. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty costs based on historical relationship of warranty claims to sales at the time of shipment of products to customers. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its product warranties and adjusts, if necessary, the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience. As at June 30, 2011, the accrued warranty reserve amounted to $22,000 (2010 - $NIL). |
| | |
| Use of estimates | |
| |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Significant estimates in these financial statements include inventory provision, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and investment tax credits. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions. |
| | |
| Research and development tax credits | |
| |
Research and development tax credits are accounted for in reduction of operating expenses. Capital grants and research and development tax credits are accounted for in reduction of related property, plant and equipment cost. |

3.CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
| |
| Future accounting changes |
| |
| New accounting framework |
| |
| The CICA has issued a new accounting framework applicable to Canadian private enterprises. Effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2011, private enterprises will have to choose between International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Generally accepted accounting principles for private enterprises, whichever suits them best. Early adoption of these standards is permitted. The Company currently plans to adopt the new accounting standards for private enterprises for its fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011. The impact of this transition has not yet been determined. |
