REVIEW ENGAGEMENT REPORT
To the Directors of
Cryopak Industries Inc.
We have reviewed the balance sheet of Northland Custom Packaging Inc. as at
February 29, 2000 and the statements of income and retained earnings and of cash
flows for the six months then ended. Our review was made in accordance with
generally accepted standards for review engagements and accordingly consisted
primarily of enquiry, analytical procedures and discussion related to
information supplied to us by the company.
A review does not constitute an audit and consequently we do not express an
audit opinion on these financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that these financial statements are not, in all material respects, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
