GEORGE KELK CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
January 31, 2013 and 2012
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
George Kelk Corporation (the "Company") is a private company incorporated under the laws of Ontario and its principal business activities include the design and manufacture of highly accurate optical and electronic roll force measurement and control equipment primarily used by metals rolling mills and mining applications throughout the world. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Endevor Corporation (the "Parent"), a private company also incorporated under the laws of Ontario, and is principally engaged in investment holdings. Both the Company and the Parent have their respective operations and head offices in Ontario, Canada.
These statements have been prepared immediately prior to the sale of certain net assets of the Company on January 31, 2013 to Vishay Precision Group Canada ULC, and accordingly, do not include the proceeds of disposal of approximately $50 million Canadian dollars.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are as follows:
Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of the Company.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant estimates include useful lives of long-lived assets, inventory valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts and accrued expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on product sales during the period when the sales process is complete. This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with terms of an agreement of sale, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is reasonably assured, and pricing is fixed or determinable.
The Company has post-shipment obligations, such as customer acceptance, training, or installation, with respect to some of its larger systems products. In such circumstances, revenue is deferred until the obligation has been completed, unless such obligation is deemed inconsequential or perfunctory.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Research and development expenditures and investment tax credits
Research and development expenditures are charged against operations in the period they are incurred.
The Company is also entitled to claim Canadian federal and provincial investment tax credits, which are earned as a percentage of eligible research and development expenditures incurred in the taxation year ended April 2013 and 2012. Investment tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense.
The investment tax credits of nil and $468,593 were earned for the periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Comprehensive income
The Company has no assets or liabilities whose changes in value are recorded within comprehensive income and as such, comprehensive income and net earnings are the same amount.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Highly liquid investments with maturities greater than three months are classified as short-term investments. There were no investments classified as short-term investments at January 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowance is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of risk that are based on historical trends and an evaluation of the impact of current and projected economic conditions. The Company evaluates the past-due status of its trade receivables based on contractual terms of sale. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Inventories
Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and replacement cost. Included in cost of raw materials are costs of purchase net of vendor allowances, plus other costs such as transportation and duty, that are directly incurred to bring inventories to their present location and condition. Work-in-process and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and market value. Cost of work-in-process and finished goods includes materials and all related conversion costs. Cost of sales includes all costs of inventory recognized as expense in the periods.
Inventories are adjusted for estimated obsolescence and written down to net realizable value based upon estimates of future demand, usage and market conditions.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated principally by the declining balance method ("DB") based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the improvements.
Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any gain or loss is reflected in net earnings.
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Impairment of long-lived assets
The carrying value of long-lived assets held-and-used is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from such asset group are separately identifiable and are less than the carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset group. Fair value is determined primarily using present value techniques based on projected cash flows from the asset group. No impairment losses were recognized in the periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012.
Foreign currency translation
At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue or expense denominated in a foreign currency is translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at that date. At year end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange in effect at that date and the resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in net earnings in the current period.
Foreign exchange forward contracts
All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities measured at fair value, a level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings.
The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to sell foreign currency in exchange for Canadian dollars principally to serve as economic hedge of the currency risk associated with customers’ remittances which are predominantly denominated in United States dollars and the Euro. The Company does not speculate in foreign currency.
As of January 31, 2012, the Company had five outstanding foreign currency forward contracts in the aggregate amount of ten million United States dollars with maturity dates through to October 1, 2012. The Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of January 31, 2013.
For the period ended January 31, 2012, the Company recognized unrealized gains in net earnings on these foreign exchange contracts of $352,200 and the corresponding balance sheet amount is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Commitments and contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.
Note 3 - Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against accounts receivable for amounts management believes may be uncollectible. The allowance is also determined based on review of the collectability of customer’s specific past due invoices.

Note 7 - Related Party
Advances from Parent of $3,942,496 at January 31, 2013 and 2012 consist entirely of principal and are secured by a general security agreement. These non-interest bearing advances are due on demand.
Note 8 - Fair Value Measurement
The Company has no non-derivative financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of January 31, 2013 and 2012. The fair value of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customers’ advance payments and accrued expenses approximate their carrying amount based on the short maturity of these instruments or because they are receivable or payable on demand.
There is also no non financial asset measured at fair value as of January 31, 2013 and 2012. The fair value of the advances from the Parent is not practical to determine due to its related party nature and limited amount of readily obtainable comparable market information and accordingly the amount is recorded at cost.
Note 9 - Capital Stock
For the periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, capital stock comprises of the following:
