Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements As at July 31, 2003 and January 31, 2003 (Amounts Expressed in United States Dollars) Page 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary of significant accounting policies a) Basis of Consolidated Financial Statements Presentation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dectron Internationale Inc., Dectron Inc. Consolidated,Circul-aire Group and International Water Makers Inc. Dectron Inc. Consolidated is comprised of Dectron Inc. and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Refplus Inc., Thermoplus Air Inc., Dectron U.S.A. Inc., and IPAC 2000 Inc. Circul-aire Group is comprised of Cascade Technologies Inc., and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Purafil Canada Inc. and Circul-aire Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tranzmetal Inc. All inter-company profits, transactions and account balances have been eliminated. b) Foreign Currency Translation The company maintains its books and records in Canadian dollars. The operation of the company's subsidiary in the United States is an integrated corporation. As a result, monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, whereas non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the average exchange rates in effect at transaction dates. Income and expenses in foreign currency are translated at the average rate effective during the year with the exception of depreciation and amortization, which is translated at the historical rate. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions are included in earnings. The translation of the financial statements from Canadian dollars into United States dollars is performed for the convenience of the reader. Balance sheet accounts are translated using closing exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during each reporting period. No representation is made that the Canadian dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at the rates on the respective dates and or at any other certain rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholder's equity. DECTRON INTERNATIONALE INC.

These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following: o Revenue Recognition o Deferred Revenue o Intangible Assets and Goodwill o Foreign currency translation o Accounting for Income Taxes Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101), as amended by SAB 101A and 101B. SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable: and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected. Deferred Revenue The company has sold extended warranty contracts covering a period of four to nine years beyond the one year basic guarantee. The deferred revenue is recognized as income over the four to nine year period on a straight-line basis commencing one year from the sale of the contracts. Intangible Assets and Goodwill The company accounts for intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which was adopted by the Company on February 1, 2002 in accordance with that statement, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives, consisting of patents, trademarks, and rights, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 15 years, and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets". Page 13 Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired in a purchase business combination. For the years 2002 and 2001, goodwill was amortized using the straight-line method, over a period of 10 years. Goodwill and intangible assets with definite lives are tested annually for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies' data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Any impairment loss would be expensed in the consolidated statements of earnings. The impairment test for intangibles with indefinite useful lives consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible assets with its carrying amount. When the carrying amount of the intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference. Intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or assets group may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS 144. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimable lives and other long- lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an assets or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the assets or asset group. If these comparisons indicated that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or the asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Foreign Currency Translation The company maintains its books and records in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated using the temporal method. Under this method, all monetary items are translated into Canadian funds at the rate of exchange prevailing at balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated at the rate in effect on the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of earnings for the year. The translation of the financial statements from Canadian dollars into United States dollars is performed for the convenience of the reader. Balance sheet accounts are translated using closing exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during each reporting period. No representation is made that the Canadian dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at the rates on the respective dates and or at any other certain rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholder's equity. Income Taxes As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we will be required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process will involve estimates of our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and amortization, for tax and accounting purposes.

It is the Company's intent that the internal controls be conceived to provide adequate, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls are met on a consistent basis. Management plans to continue its review of internal controls and disclosure procedures on an ongoing basis. The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after supervising and participating in an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal and disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2003 (the "Evaluation Date"), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's internal and disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal and disclosure controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such internal and disclosure controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
