INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
GOUDAS FOOD PRODUCTS
AND INVESTMENTS LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Goudas Food Products and Investments Limited, which comprise the balance sheets as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of income and 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; 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.
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 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 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 Company'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 Company'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 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 Goudas Food Products and Investments Limited as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GOUDAS FOOD PRODUCTS

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2013 and 2012
1. | Nature of Operations | |
Goudas Food Products and Investments Limited ("the Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Ontario on June 28, 1973. The company imports food products and sells to supermarkets and retailers. | ||
2. | Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of presentation | ||
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. | ||
Revenue Recognition | ||
The company recognizes revenue from customer orders upon shipment of the order and when collection is reasonably assured. | ||
Property and Equipment | ||
Property and Equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated annually at the following rates and methods over the established useful lives of the assets as follows: | ||
Office equipment Computer equipment Computer software Furniture and fixtures Machinery and equipment Automotive equipment Leasehold improvements | 20% Declining balance 30% Declining balance 50% Straight-line 20% Declining balance 10% Declining balance 30% Declining balance 20% Straight-line |
See independent accountants' audit report
7 |
The company reviews for impairment of property and equipment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset during the year the impairment occurs. | |
Art work and Plates | |
Art work and plates are recorded at cost and being amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 20 years. | |
Listing Fees | |
Listing fees arc recorded at cost and represent the fees paid to retailers in order to have the Companies products placed on their shelves. They are being amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 5 years. | |
Inventories | |
Finished goods and packaging materials are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in first-out basis) and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. | |
Foreign Currency Translation | |
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year end exchange rates. Other assets and liabilities are translated at rates in effect at the date the assets were acquired and liabilities incurred. Revenue and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at their transaction dates. The resulting gains or losses are included in operations. |
See independent accountants' audit report
8 |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. | |
Assumptions are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, and other assumptions believed reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are periodically reviewed and, accordingly, adjustments made to these estimates are taken into income in the year in which it is determined. These estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and actual results may therefore differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items, such as useful lives of fixed assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and provisions for slow-moving inventories and income tax. | |
Income Tax | |
| The Company used the tax payable method for accounting for income tax. Under this method, the company reports as an expense (income) of the period only the cost (benefit) of current income taxes determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities. |
Financial Instruments | |
Measurement of financial instruments; the enterprise initially measures its financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm's length transactions. The enterprise subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for investments in 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 accounts receivable, and HST recoverable. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include bank notes payable and accounts payable. |

12. | Financial instruments |
Financial instruments consist of recorded amounts of accounts receivable which will result in future cash receipts, as well as bank notes payable, accounts payable and long term debt which will result in future cash outlays. | |
The company is exposed to the following risks in respect of certain of the financial instruments held. | |
Fair value | |
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; requires that the company disclose information about the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities unless it is not practicable within the constraints of timeliness or cost to determine the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities with sufficient reliability. All financial assets and liabilities are stated at cost which approximates fair market value. | |
Credit risk | |
The company is subject to risk on non-payment of accounts receivable. However, the company has a significant number of customers which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. The company believes that there is minimal risk associated with the collection of these amounts. | |
Interest rate risk | |
The company manages its exposure to interest rate risk through floating rate borrowings. The floating rate debt is subject to interest rate cash flow risk, as the required cash flows to service the debts will fluctuate as a result of changes in market rates. | |
Currency risk | |
The company is exposed to currency risk as certain items will be settled in US dollars and have been translated into Canadian dollars as described in Note 2. At year end, the company is exposed to foreign currency rate risk on $1,604,695 USD (2012 $1,229,224 USD) in accounts payable. The risks at October 31, 2013 are not significantly different from those risks at October 31, 2012. |
