Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business and Organization
Process Equipment, Inc. (formerly PEI, Inc. and Sharon Capital
Corporation) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September
1, 1989. Process Engineers, Inc. was incorporated October 13, 1966 in the
State of California. The principal business of the Company is the sales,
service and manufacturing of equipment for the wine, food and bio-technology
industry. Process Engineers, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Process
Equipment, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period
ended October 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending April 30, 2001. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30,
2000.
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated
allowable useful lives (5 to 31.5 years), utilizing both the straight-line
and declining balance methods. Expenditures for major renewals and
betterments that extend the useful lives of fixed assets are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined on the
First-in, First-out basis.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed under Subchapter C of the Internal
Revenue Code. For income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using the
accelerated cost recovery method and the modified accelerated cost recovery
system. The Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards, of
approximately $ 14,929 which expire in the year 2,008.
Under FASB 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
Financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Application of FASB 109 requires an allowance
be recognized if there is a question as to the company's ability to use any
or all of the future tax loss benefits. For presentation of the current
comparative financial statement it has been deemed appropriate to fully
recognize this benefit for each year presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has in recent years financed its operations primarily
with operating revenues and loans from various lenders, many of whom are
affiliates, and from the proceeds of exercises in 1993 of Warrants to
purchase its Common Stock.
The Company anticipates that revenues from its operations will be sufficient
to satisfy the Company's cash requirements for operations during the next
12 months, except to the extent that increasing orders and sales may require
temporary borrowings to finance such expansion and related costs of employee
compensation and inventory build-up. No assurance can be given, however,
that additional debt or equity financing will not be required or available.
