INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Armpro, Inc.
Teeswater, Ontario
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Armpro Incorporated as of May
31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for
the years then ended. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about 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.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Armpro Incorporated as of May
31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations, and cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 1998 AND 1997
AND PERIOD FROM JUNE 1, 1998 TO SEPTEMBER 16, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
The financial statements for the period June 1, 1998 through September 16,
1998 are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the
results of operations for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are
of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results attainable for a full
fiscal year.
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
The Company is located in Ontario, Canada and is in the business of
manufacturing a fiber reinforcement material used in the manufacturing of
cement products.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid temporary
cash investments, with an original maturity of three months or less
when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
b. Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are presented net of
allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance was approximately $800
at May 31, 1998 and 1997.
c. Inventories - Inventories consisting of raw materials and finished
goods are stated at the lower of cost or market using average costing.
d. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is calculated on straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years.
e. Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (SFAS 109). Pursuant to SFAS 109, the Company accounts for
income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, a
deferred tax asset or liability is determined based upon the tax
effect of the differences between the financial statement and tax
basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted rates
6
<PAGE>
which will be in effect when these differences reverse.
f. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principals requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in
the balance sheet for cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and
accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
h. Foreign Currency - The accompanying financial statements are
translated from Canadian dollars into US dollars assuming the
functional currency is the Canadian dollar, accordingly, a translation
adjustment is recorded as an item of stockholders' equity. Foreign
currency transaction gains and losses are recorded on the income
statement.
