                            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.

1.   OPERATIONS

     The  company  was  incorporated  on  February 3, 1993 under the laws of the
     Province of British Columbia. The company's primary business is packaging.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Capital Assets

     Capital  assets are recorded at cost.  Amortization  has been provided over
     the estimated useful ives of the assets using the following methods:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                        <C>
Machinery and equipment    20% declining balance
Leasehold improvements      5 year straight line

</TABLE>

     Assets  acquired  during the year are  amortized  at  one-half of the above
     rates.

     Cash Equivalents

     The  company   considers  all  highly  liquid   investments  with  original
     maturities  of  less  than  ninety  days  to  be  cash  equivalents.   Cash
     equivalents  are  recorded  at  cost,  including  accrued  interest,  which
     approximates market value.

     Financial Instruments

     The fair values of the financial  instruments  approximate  their  carrying
     value except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements.

     Foreign Currency Translation

     Monetary  items  denominated  in foreign  currencies  are  translated  into
     Canadian  dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.
     All other assets and  liabilities  are translated at rates  prevailing when
     the asset was acquired or  liabilities  incurred.  Income and expense items
     are  translated  at  the  exchange  rates  in  effect  on the  date  of the
     transaction.  Resulting  exchange  gains and  losses  are  included  in the
     determination of loss for the period.

     Revenue Recognition

     Revenue is recognized when an invoice is prepared.

     Income Taxes

     The company uses the  deferred  tax  allocation  method in  accounting  for
     income taxes.
