NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AND MARCH 31, 2005

(Unaudited; in thousands of Canadian dollars)

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated under the laws of Canada on December 5, 2001 and carried on no activities until December 31, 2001. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes large video screens and LED lighting systems.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, the more significant of which are outlined below. These unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales are recognized when products are delivered or when services are provided, and collection is reasonably assured except for long-term contracts, many of which provide for periodic payments, for which revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion basis. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which the probable amounts of such losses are determined.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company generally manufactures to order and does not hold finished goods.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. When circumstances or events indicate a potential decline in the net recoverable value of these assets, the carrying value is written-down to the recoverable amount. The methods and rates used to amortize the property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Manufacturing equipment    Straight-line    4 years
Furniture and fixtures    Straight-line    5 years
Computer equipment    Straight-line    3 years
Leasehold improvements    Straight-line    Term of lease – 10 years
Rental equipment    Straight-line    4 years

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Intellectual property related to the screens is recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years, its expected useful life. The lighting intellectual property is amortized on a straight-line bases over 10 years.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

On a periodic basis, management reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and intellectual property and considers whether there have been events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The review is based on the assessment of technological changes, the Company’s intended use and the projected estimated net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the underlying assets together with its residual value (net recoverable value). If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value generally determined on a discounted expected cash flow basis. Any impairment results in a write-down of the assets and a charge to income during the year.

MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY

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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to the assessment of the recoverable value of accounts receivable and inventories and the useful life of property, plant and equipment and intellectual property for purposes of the calculation of amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a material amount.

CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the balance sheet. Other balance sheet items are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated monthly at the average exchange rate of the period. Exchange gains or losses arising from currency translations are included in the income for the period.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

In 2003, Saco Technologies Inc. advanced $ 660 to a sister Company Saco Holding U.S.A. which invested the funds in a joint venture with ANC Sports Enterprises LLC. This advance was repaid in 2004. This joint venture was a sale and marketing organization for sales of certain products into the USA. This joint venture’s sales operations were terminated on August 31, 2004 and replaced by an exclusive purchase agreement whereby ANC Sports will deal directly with the Company. The Company has however, made an investment of $ 900 in the joint venture through Saco Holdings USA. which represents their share of the intellectual property developed jointly by ANC Sports and the Company. In 2005 the investment was written-down to reflect the lower of cost and net realizable value.

7. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ACCEPTED IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED STATES

 

  a) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Under Canadian GAAP, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange in effect at the date of the balance sheet. Under U.S. GAAP, long-term debt, one of the monetary liabilities, is translated at the historical exchange rate in effect when the debt was originally issued.

Management has evaluated other foreign currency translation differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP and believes the effects of these differences are immaterial.
