To the Shareholders of

We have audited the balance sheet of LES ENTREPRISES SOFTGUARD INC. as at
January 1, 1999 and the statement of income and deficit and the statement of
changes in financial position for the 6 month period ended on January 1, 1999.
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 generally accepted auditing standards.
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 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at January 1, 1999, the
results of its operations and the changes in its financial position for the 6
month period then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting

The Company has also accumulated some scientific research and
experimental development expenditures available to reduce income taxes
in future years for an amount of $ 220,911 at Federal level and $
537,825 at Provincial level.
9. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTAL DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDIT

research and development expenditures in the income statement. This

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the bank loan and the
long-term debt. Changes in the interest rate of 1 % would not have a
significant effect on the net loss, deficit or financial position of
the Company.
13. UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two
digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may
recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors
when information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition,
similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in
1999 to represent something other than a date. The effects of the Year
2000 Issue may be experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000,
and, if not addressed, the impact on operations and financial reporting
may range from minor errors to significant systems failure which could
affect an entity's ability to conduct normal business operations. It is
not possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 Issue
affecting the entity, including those related to the efforts of
customers, suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully resolved.

12. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
Certain comparative figures of the preceeding year have been
reclassified in order to be conform with the basis of presentation
adopted in the current year.
The financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997 have been
prepared by other chartered accountants, who signed a notice to reader
on September 25, 1998.
13. UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two
digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may
recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors
when information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition,
similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in
1999 to represent something other than a date. The effects of the Year
2000 Issue may be experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000,
and, if not addressed, the impact on operations and financial reporting
may range from minor errors to significant systems failure which could
affect an entity's ability to conduct normal business operations. It is
not possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 Issue
affecting the entity, including those related to the efforts of
customers, suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully resolved.
