INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors
Marcel Desrochers Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Marcel Desrochers Inc. as of November 30, 2006, and the related statements of earnings, retained earnings and cash flows for the year 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 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Marcel Desrochers Inc. as of November 30, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from US generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 15 to the financial statements.

MARCEL DESROCHERS INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
Year ended November 30, 2006
The Company was incorporated under Part 1A of the Quebec Companies Act. Its main business activity is the manufacture of movie theatre equipment.
1. Significant accounting policies:
(a) Cash and cash equivalents:
The policy of the entity is to disclose bank balances under cash and cash equivalents, including bank overdrafts with balances that fluctuate frequently from being positive to overdrawn and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
(b) Inventories:
Raw materials cost is determined using the average cost method. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Finished goods include raw materials, direct labour and factory overhead.
(c) Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is based on their estimated useful life using the declining balance method at the following rates:
Asset | | Rate | |
| | | |
Building | | 5 | % |
Machinery and equipment, rolling stock and computer equipment | | 30 | % |
Painting equipment | | 10 | % |
(d) Impairment of long-lived assets:
Long-lived assets, consisting of property, plant and equipment are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for long-lived assets, when the carrying amount of an asset to be held and used exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and disposal; the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the net asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is the estimated value at which the asset would be bought or sold in a transaction between willing parties.
5
(e) Income taxes:
The Company applies the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect in the periods in which the future tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against future income tax assets if, based on available information, it is more likely than not that some or all of the future income tax assets will not be realized.
(f) Redeemable shares:
In accordance with EIC–149 – Accounting for retractable or mandatorily redeemable shares, the Company has accounted for shares that are redeemable, at the option of the holder, as liabilities as they do not participate on a prorata basis in the residual equity of the Company.
(g) Revenue recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Sales made under agreements allowing for rights of return are recognized at the time of sale to these customers. Estimated returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. Estimates are based on historical experience and other relevant factors.
(h) Research and development expenses:
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are charged against income in the year of expenditure unless a development project meets the criteria under generally accepted accounting principles for deferral and amortization. Deferred development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of three years beginning in the year of commercialization.
(i) Foreign currency translation:
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars using current exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities, historical exchange rates for non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the average exchange rate during the year for revenues and expenses, except for amortization, which is translated at the historical exchange rate of the corresponding non-monetary assets. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in income in the period incurred.
6
(j) Guarantees:
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various agreements that may contain features that meet the definition of a guarantee. A guarantee is defined to be a contract (including an indemnity) that contingently requires the Company to make payments to a third party based on (i) changes in an underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument, index or other variable, that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the counterparty, (ii) failure of another party to perform under an obligating agreement or (iii) failure of another party to pay its indebtedness when due.
A liability is recorded when the Company considers probable that a payment relating to a guarantee has to be made to the other party by the contract or agreement.
(k) Use of estimates:
The preparation of 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses for the period reported.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include estimating the provision for bad debts, estimating the provision for inventory obsolescence, estimating the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, research tax credits receivable, estimating the warranty provision and future tax assets. The reported amounts and note disclosures are determined to reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of action. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

10
10. Financial instruments:
(a) Credit risk:
Credit risk results from the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of the contract. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash is maintained with a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations and typically does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses consistent with the credit risk, historical trends, general economic conditions and other information.
As of November 30, 2006, 54% of trade receivables were due from three customers.
(b) Foreign currency risk:
The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange risk as its revenues are primarily received in U.S. dollars and other currencies while a significant portion of its expenses are paid in Canadian dollars. Its consolidated profitability could therefore be affected by the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate and other exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar, which exchange rates may fluctuate over time and cannot be accurately predicted. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage its currency exposure.
(c) Fair value:
Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time using available information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision.
The Company has determined that the carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments.
11
11. Income taxes:
Variations of income tax expense from the basic Canadian federal and provincial combined tax rates applicable to income from operations before income taxes are as follows:
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
| | | | | | (Unaudited) | |

(c) Research and development:

13. Comparative figures:
Certain of the 2005 comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the basis of presentation adopted in the current year. The most significant reclassification related to the Company electing to no longer use the differential reporting options available to non-publicly accountable enterprises. As a result, the following adjustments were made to the comparative figures to present the redeemable shares as current liabilities, at their redemption value.
| | (Unaudited) | |
| | | |
Increase (decrease): | | | |
Current liabilities | | $ | 2,861,832 | |

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (Canadian GAAP), which, in the case of the Company, conform in all material respects with those in the United States (U.S. GAAP), except as follows:
Redeemable shares
Canadian GAAP requires the classification of shares redeemable at the option of the holder at any time as current liabilities. Pursuant to accounting series release No. 268, presentation in financial statements of redeemable preferred stocks (“ASR 268”), these shares are temporary equity and are classified in a separate section of the balance sheet, after long-term debt and above shareholders’ equity and measured at their redemption amount.
Dividends issued on these redeemable shares classified as current liabilities are charged to earnings under Canadian GAAP, whereas they are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings under ASR 268.
