                            REVIEW ENGAGEMENT REPORT

To the Directors of
Cryopak Industries Inc.

We have  reviewed the balance  sheet of  Northland  Ice Gel  Incorporated  as at
February 29, 2000 and the statements of income and retained earnings and of cash
flows for the year 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 9, 1988 under the laws of the
Province of British Columbia and began operations in October 1989. The company's
primary business includes the manufacturing of ice gel and gel products.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         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.

         Inventory

         Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
