REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

Board of Directors and Management

EIS Electronic Integrated Systems, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EIS Electronic Integrated Systems, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe 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 consolidated financial position of EIS Electronic Integrated Systems, Inc. as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

September 30, 2007 and 2006

 

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

EIS Electronic Integrated Systems, Inc. (EIS or the Company) is a design and manufacturing company specializing in sophisticated signal processing. The Company, located near Toronto, Canada, produces sensor-based electronic systems for traffic management. Substantially all of the Company’s business activity is with customers, primarily governmental units and their contractors, in Canada and the United States.

 

A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the joint venture EIS Shenzhen Goodtell Ltd., which is 51% owned by the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash

 

EIS and its subsidiary maintain cash balances at several financial institutions. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, $466,401 and $260,135 in cash was held in Canadian banks with the remaining balances being held in banks in Shenzhen, China.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company contracts with and extends credit to various government organizations and companies and generally has no collateral on accounts receivable. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company estimates the uncollectible amounts by considering numerous factors, including historical trends along with ongoing customer credit evaluations. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts was $45,603 and $92,982 at September 30, 2007 and 2006.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories consist primarily of component parts.

September 30, 2007 and 2006

 

 

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued

 

Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided primarily using accelerated methods using the mid-year convention. The useful lives of property and equipment vary from three to five years.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

Amortizable definite life intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks. Patents and trademarks are carried at cost less accumulated amortization which is calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 20 years. Amortization expense related to such assets was $7,089 and $4,999 for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The following is a schedule of future amortization expense regarding these patents and trademarks:

$

142,517

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Management of the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of patents and other long-lived assets for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of these assets with their related expected future net cash flows. Should the sum of the related expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recognized. An impairment loss would be measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset, determined on the basis of discounted cash flows, exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairments during the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

 

Capital Stock

 

Common stock, Class A, no par value unlimited authorized, 6,900,000 shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 2007 and 2006.

EIS Electronic Integrated Systems, Inc.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued

 

Preferred stock, Class R voting, no par value unlimited shares authorized, 100 shares issued and outstanding September 30, 2007 and 2006.

 

Neither the preferred stock or common stock can be transferred without the consent of the directors and the holders of 51% of the common shares then outstanding.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from product sales are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company considers delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Expenditures for research and development activities performed by the Company are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $89,925 and $170,604 during the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the liability method, whereby deferred taxes are recorded for temporary differences between pretax financial and taxable income and between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recorded using tax rates scheduled by law to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The assets and liabilities of the Company are translated from Canadian dollars and Chinese yuan renminbi to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and the statement of operations is translated using the average exchange rate during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income and as a component of other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

 

September 30, 2007 and 2006

 

 

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of the Company’s current financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair values. The fair value of the Company’s borrowings, if recalculated based on current interest rates, would not significantly differ from the recorded amounts.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The interpretation requires recognition in the financial statements of the impact of a tax position if it is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Management has not determined the effects on the financial statements of adopting FIN 48.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation and accordingly receives a preferential tax rate on taxable income below the small business limit of $400,000 of 17.5% in 2007 and 18.6% in 2006. When the Company’s taxable income exceeds the small business limit, there is a tax rate of 34.5% and 36.1% at September 30, 2007 and 2006.

 

The effective tax rate for the years ending September 30, 2007 and 2006 vary from the statutory rates and from year to year due to research and development tax credits earned.
