Auditors' Report

Hastings Manufacturing Company
Hastings, Michigan

We have audited the combined balance sheets of the Ertel and Syzygy Business as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the combined statements of operations and retained earnings 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Ertel and Syzygy Business
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

December 31, 2002 and 2001
Background, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation	As discussed in Note 14, subsequent to year-end, Hastings, Inc., a Canadian subsidiary of U.S.-based Hastings Manufacturing Company, acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Ertel Manufacturing Corporation of Canada ("Ertel") and Syzygy Auto Distribution Inc. ("Syzygy"), both Canadian corporations. Ertel distributes a full line of internal engine parts through a network of distribution centres located throughout Canada. Syzygy is a distributor of consignment aftermarket products in Canada through Ertel's distribution network.
	Two former subsidiaries of Ertel (one wholly owned and one 90 percent owned) were not included in the sale and were distributed to the owners of Ertel prior to the closing. Those subsidiaries had been accounted for on the cost basis in Ertel's prior historical financial statements. The accompanying combined financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of Ertel, exclusive of the two former subsidiaries. Because these subsidiaries were previously accounted for on the cost basis, no revenue or expense allocations were necessary in the preparation of the accompanying combined statements of operations and retained earnings as Ertel's historical statements of operations and retained earnings excluded the operating results of the former subsidiaries.
	Prior to the acquisitions, Ertel and Syzygy were related parties. For purposes of these combined financial statements, the historical financial statements of Ertel have been combined with the historical financial statements of Syzygy, and are herein referred to as the combined financial statements of the "Ertel and Syzygy Business" or the "Company."
	The accompanying combined financial statements, which are expressed in Canadian dollars, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. There are no material differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting standards as they relate to the accompanying combined financial statements.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue is recognized when products are shipped to customers.
Inventory	Inventory is stated at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.

Ertel and Syzygy Business
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

December 31, 2002 and 2001
Tradenames, Trademarks, and Other Intangibles	The excess of assigned values of the net assets acquired over the cost has been assigned to the intangible assets. Amortization on the tradenames, trademarks, and other intangibles is provided on a straight line basis over 10 years.
Income Taxes	The Company follows the liability method of tax allocation in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the differences are realized.
Capital Assets	Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization based on the estimated useful life of the asset is calculated as follows:
	Building	5% straight line basis
	Furniture, fixtures    and equipment	10% - 25% straight line basis
	Computer software	25% straight line basis
	Leasehold improvements	Over the lease term
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign currency accounts are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
	At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into Canadian dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year end date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in income in the current period.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.

13.	Change in Accounting Policy
	Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants pertaining to the accounting for income taxes. Under the new recommendations, income taxes are recognized using the liability method of tax allocation, whereby future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the differences are realized.
	The adoption of these recommendations has been applied retroactively with no effect on prior year figures.

14.	Subsequent Event
	On March 27, 2003, 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Ertel and Syzygy were sold to Hastings, Inc., a Canadian subsidiary of U.S.-based Hastings Manufacturing Company.
