AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Directors of
DIAMANT ART CORPORATION
(Formerly known as A.R.T. International Corporation)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheetof DIAMANT ART CORPORATION as at November 30, 2004 and the consolidated statements of loss, shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. 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 and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as at November 30, 2004, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada - United States Reporting Difference
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the directors dated May 11, 2005, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

(Formerly A.R.T. International Corporation) |
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
November 30, 2004 |
(Canadian Dollars) |
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The Company was incorporated in Canada on June 24, 1986 through the Ontario Business Corporations Act. The Company's primary business is the production, distribution and marketing of replications of oil paintings.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and reflect the accounts of the Company and its' wholly-owned subsidiary Diamant Film Inc., which was incorporated in March 2004. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
During the year, the Company changed its' name from A.R.T. International Corporation.
The Company has secured a 5 year agreement for Canada, Bahamas, Mexico and the United States of America for the exclusive marketing and distribution rights to Diamant Film, a non-pvc food stretch film.
Going Concern
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of obligations in the normal course of business as they come due. No adjustments have been made to assets or liabilities in these financial statements should the Company not be able to continue normal business operations.
The Company has incurred several years of losses and during 2004, utilized $324,384 of cash in operations. At November 30, 2004, the Company reported a deficit of $24,747,843 and continues to expend cash amounts that significantly exceed revenues. These conditions cast substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue in business and meet its obligations as they come due.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and market value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
b) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less provision for amortization and impairment where indicated. Amortization is provided over the useful lives of these assets calculated as follows:
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 20% declining basis

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |

(Canadian Dollars) |
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
c) Other Assets
Patents are recorded at cost and fully amortized.
In the past, at each balance sheet date, the Company reviewed the remaining benefit associated with the Artagraph patents to ensure that the Company will generate sufficient undiscounted cash flows to recover their carrying costs. In accordance with this policy, all patents at November 30, 1998 were written down to $1.
Art reproduction rights are recorded at cost and are fully amortized.
d) Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency accounts are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense of the transaction is translated into Canadian dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year-end date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate then in effect.
e) Taxes Payable
Income taxes are recorded using the liability method. Future income and deduction amounts arise due to temporary differences between the accounting and income tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the date of substantive enactment. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent that realization of such benefits is considered to be more unlikely than not.
f) Revenue Recognition
Revenues and cost of sales are recognized as title to products and material passes to the customer. Title passes when the product is shipped to the customer and all sales invoices stipulate the terms and conditions, i.e. "free on board" and "at the Company's premises".

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
h) Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
3. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following:
| 2004 | 2003 |
| | |
Finished goods | $26,374 | $37,447 |

a) In prior years, issue costs of the shares following Canadian GAAP were treated as a reduction of capital. These principles differ from U.S. GAAP following SFAS7, which states that the share issue costs can be treated as an expense in the period.
b) For the last three years, there have been foreign exchange gains which following Canadian GAAP is treated as an expense in the period it is incurred. Following U.S. GAAP, the foreign exchange gain (loss) would be recorded through comprehensive income in the equity section.
The effect of such differences on the Company's balance sheet and statement of loss would be as follows:
| | | 2004 | | 2003 | | 2002 |

a) | Capital stock - Canadian GAAP | $10,595,218 | $10,595,218 | $10,595,218 |

| Capital stock - U.S. GAAP | $12,636,761 | $12,636,761 | $12,636,761 |

| Accumulated deficit - U.S. GAAP | $26,789,385 | $26,460,508 | $26,169,182 |

Contributed Surplus
There is a difference between U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP for contributed surplus with respect to terminology. Under U.S. GAAP, contributed surplus is called "additional paid in capital".
Accounting For Future (Deferred) Income Taxes
The significant differences between U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP in the accounting for future income taxes relate to the treatment of proposed changes in income tax rates and terminology. Under Canadian GAAP, future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the differences between the accounting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities reverse. Under U.S. GAAP, future income tax assets and liabilities are called deferred income tax assets and liabilities and are measured using only currently enacted tax rates and laws. As at November 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the difference in rate determination did not result in any adjustment from Canadian to U.S. GAAP since any deferred tax assets were not considered more likely than not to be realized and, accordingly, a full valuation allowance was recorded on such assets.
