Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business | The companies are engaged in manufacturing and remanufacturing aftermarket auto parts. |
Basis of Presentation | These financial statements present the combined financial position and results of operations of Fenwick Automotive Products Limited and Introcan Inc., including their subsidiaries Fapco, S.A. de C.V., Flo-Pro Inc., L.H. Distribution Inc., Rafko Enterprises Inc. and Rafko Holdings Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
Basis of Accounting | These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below. |
| The companies are presently in violation of their banking covenants and the bank has made demand of their loan. The management of the companies are pursuing alternatives relating to financing the operations of the business to ensure the continued viability of the companies. |
Differential Reporting | The companies, with the unanimous consent of its owners, has elected to prepare their financial statements using differential reporting options available to non-publicly accountable enterprises described below: |
| Special Share Classification |
| The companies have elected to present special shares issued in tax planning arrangements under certain sections of the Income Tax Act, that would otherwise be presented as liabilities, as equity. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue is recognized when products are shipped to customers, the sales price is fixed and determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, and title and risks of ownership have passed to the buyer. Revenue is net of discounts, rebates and allowances. |
Fenwick Automotive Products Limited and Introcan Inc.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition (cont'd) | The companies enter into factoring agreements with a third party for sale of accounts receivable. The transaction is accounted for as a sale as all risks have transferred to the third party. The cost of the transaction is included in the statement of operations. |
Product Warranties | The companies provide product warranties and makes provisions for the anticipated cost of these warranties through cost of sales; this provision is reviewed periodically to assess its adequacy in the light of actual warranty costs incurred. |
Financial Instruments | Fair value |
| The companies' financial instruments consist of instruments with various maturities. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, due to/from related parties, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Capital lease obligations are at fair value. The fair value of the long-term debt approximates carrying value as substantially all of the debt is due in the next fiscal year. |
| The companies realize approximately 78% of its sales and approximately 96% of its cost of sales and expenses in a foreign currency. Consequently, some assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations. The long-term debt is due in a foreign currency. |
| In the normal course of business, the companies evaluate the financial position of their customers on a regular basis and examine the credit history of new customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the customer's specific risk and historical trends. The companies believe the credit risk regarding receivables to be minimal due to the diversification of its customer base. |
| Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the companies are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. |
Fenwick Automotive Products Limited and Introcan Inc.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Inventories | Raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished goods is calculated to include raw materials, labour and factory overhead. Cost is generally determined on the first-in, first-out basis. |
Capital Assets | Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of the asset using the declining balance method at the following annual rates: |
| Computer equipment - 30 % |
| Plant equipment - 20 % - 30% |
| Leasehold improvements - straight-line over 5 years |
Assets Under Capital Lease | The companies' policy is to record capital leases, which transfer substantially all benefits and risks incident to ownership of property, as acquisitions of assets and to record the incurrences of corresponding obligations as liabilities. Obligations under capital leases are reduced by lease payments net of imputed interest. |
Deferred Start-up Costs | Deferred start-up costs represent the cost incurred by a subsidiary prior to the commencement of commercial operations. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a four year period. |
Income Taxes | The companies follow the liability method of tax allocation in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the differences are realized, as well as recognition of income tax loss carryforwards that are more likely than not to be realized. |
Fenwick Automotive Products Limited and Introcan Inc.

10. Contingencies
The companies are committed under letters of guarantee of $20 and 571 (US$562). The letters of guarantee include guarantees for unpaid rent to a maximum of $571 (US$562) for two subsidiary companies. Historically, the companies have not made any payments under letters of guarantee to third parties and therefore no amount has been accrued in the financial statements with respect to the guarantees.
A subsidiary company entered into an Administrative Outsourcing Services Agreement, for a three year period expiring March 2010, to be provided with administrative and consulting services. Under the agreement the subsidiary company is required to pay a monthly on-going fee based on the number of individuals employed at the subsidiary company.

14. Reconciliation to United States GAAP (continued)
| (a) | As allowed under GAAP, deferred start-up costs were capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line basis over a four year period. Under US GAAP start-up costs are expensed as incurred, thus the unamortized deferred start-up costs at March 31, 2010 and 2009, the amortization expenses for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related tax impacts of the deferral and amortization expense for those years were adjusted from the financial statement to comply with US GAAP. |
| (b) | The companies, with the unanimous consent of its owners, elected to prepare their financial statements using differential reporting options available to non-publicly accountable enterprises and have, therefore, presented special shares issued in tax planning arrangements under certain sections of the Income Tax Act that would otherwise by presented as liabilities, as equity. Such presentation options are not available under US GAAP and thus the adjustment was made to re-establish the liabilities at March 31, 2010 and 2009 to comply with US GAAP. |
