INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Brent Anderson Associates, Inc.
Fridley, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Brent Anderson Associates, Inc. as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brent Anderson Associates, Inc. as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9, the Company has suffered losses from operations and its total liabilities exceed its total assets as of March 31, 2005. This raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 9. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of business:
Brent Anderson Associates, Inc. (the Company) is a construction services organization which provides subcontracted roofing and waterproofing services to general contractors located primarily in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and certain areas of out-state Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The Company grants credit for contracted work performed and the resulting receivables are generally unsecured. The collection of amounts due from customers may be influenced by economic fluctuations in the construction industry.
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:
Estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include contract progress and profitability for contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory:
Inventory consists of construction materials recorded at the lower of average cost or market using the average cost method.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is recorded at original cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of individual assets. Additions, improvements or major renewals are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.
7
The following estimated useful lives are used in computing depreciation expense:
| Description | | Useful life | |
| Construction equipment and vehicles | | 5 years | |
| Office equipment | | 3-7 years | |
| Consulting equipment | | 5 years | |
Depreciation expense totaled $382,256 and $405,079 for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Revenue and cost recognition:
Revenues from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are recognized using the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended contract costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
Contract costs include all direct material, equipment and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Advertising:
The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was $18,755 and $10,663 for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of twelve months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company occasionally has cash on deposit in a bank in amounts that are in excess of federally insured limits.
8
Income taxes:
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between reporting of income for financial statement and tax purposes arising from differences in the methods of accounting for depreciation. Accelerated depreciation is used for tax reporting and straight-line depreciation is used for financial statement reporting. The Company accounts for these differences by using the liability method, whereby the related tax consequences are measured using the applicable tax rate.
Contract receivables:
Contract receivables are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management performs continuing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and reviews contracts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables are potentially uncollectible. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are written off in the period in which such determination is made. The company has an allowance of $25,000 for doubtful accounts for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to their contract retainage provisions will be due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. Based upon the Company’s experience with similar contracts, all retainages are expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled receivables consist of work performed by the Company that will be billed upon approval of an appropriate change order request. The unbilled receivables were $569,865 and $230,285 for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Marketable equity securities:
Marketable equity securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains are reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity. The aggregate cost as of March 31, 2006 was $275,000. The net unrealized gain at March 31, 2006 was $543,125 and $192,500 at March 31, 2005. These securities have been restricted for resale until the earlier of 90 days after being listed on the AMEX or two years after the purchase date, March 2007.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of business:
Brent Anderson Associates, Inc. (the Company) is a construction services organization which provides subcontracted roofing and waterproofing services to general contractors located primarily in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and certain areas of out-state Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The Company grants credit for contracted work performed and the resulting receivables are generally unsecured. The collection of amounts due from customers may be influenced by economic fluctuations in the construction industry.
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:
Estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include contract progress and profitability for contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory:
Inventory consists of construction materials recorded at the lower of average cost or market using the average cost method.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is recorded at original cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of individual assets. Additions, improvements or major renewals are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.
6
The following estimated useful lives are used in computing depreciation expense:
| Description | | Useful life | |
| Construction equipment and vehicles | | 5 years | |
| Office equipment | | 3-7 years | |
| Consulting equipment | | 5 years | |
Depreciation expense totaled $187,921 for six months ending September 30, 2006.
Revenue and cost recognition:
Revenues from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are recognized using the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended contract costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
Contract costs include all direct material, equipment and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Advertising:
The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was $5,724 for six months ending September 30, 2006.
Cash and cash equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of twelve months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company occasionally has cash on deposit in a bank in amounts that are in excess of federally insured limits.
7
Income taxes:
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between reporting of income for financial statement and tax purposes arising from differences in the methods of accounting for depreciation. Accelerated depreciation is used for tax reporting and straight-line depreciation is used for financial statement reporting. The Company accounts for these differences by using the liability method, whereby the related tax consequences are measured using the applicable tax rate.
Contract receivables:
Contract receivables are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management performs continuing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and reviews contracts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables are potentially uncollectible. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are written off in the period in which such determination is made. The company has an allowance of $25,000 for doubtful accounts for the period ending September 30, 2006. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to their contract retainage provisions will be due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. Based upon the Company’s experience with similar contracts, all retainages are expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled receivables consist of work performed by the Company that will be billed upon approval of an appropriate change order request. The unbilled receivables were $642,165 for six months ending September 30, 2006.
Marketable equity securities:
Marketable equity securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains are reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity. The aggregate cost as of September 30, 2006 was $275,000. The net unrealized gain at September 30, 2006 was $145,750 These securities have been restricted for resale until the earlier of 90 days after being listed on the AMEX or two years after the purchase date, March 2007.
