INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flowstar Technologies Inc. (an Alberta corporation) as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2003 and the period from November 29, 2001 (inception) through September 30, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Flowstar Technologies Inc. as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2003 and the period from November 29, 2001 (inception) through September 30, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has negative cash flows from operations and incurred an accumulated deficit of $319,737 through September 30, 2003. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding this issue are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
September 30, 2003 and 2002 |
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Flowstar Technologies Inc. (hereinafterFlowstar or the Company) was incorporated November 29, 2001 under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. The Company currently sells and markets products to oil and gas companies. On June 30, 2003, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sharpworks Inc. (hereinafter Sharpworks). See Note 4.
The Companys year end is September 30.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Methods
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has negative cash flows from operations and has incurred an accumulated deficit of $319,737 through September 30, 2003. The Companys stockholders are currently in negotiations with a public company that will provide synergies with other acquired businesses which will, if successful, mitigate these factors which raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
An estimated $500,000 is believed necessary to continue operations through the next fiscal year. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (hereinafter SFAS No. 150). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement has had no impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments (or short-term debt) with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in a commercial account at a major Canadian financial institution.
Functional Currency and Foreign Translation Gains/Losses
The Companys functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses are included in income for the year, except gains or losses relating to long-term debt which are deferred and amortized over the remaining term of the debt. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.
Accounts Receivable
The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. The Companys policy is to accrue interest on trade receivables at the discretion of management. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had not charged interest on its receivables.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. See Note 5.

Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (hereinafter SFAS No. 141) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (hereinafter SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141 provides for the elimination of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations with an acquisition date of July 1, 2001 or later. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires periodic reassessment of the underlying value of such assets for impairment. The adoption of this standard has not effected the Companys financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the customer.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping and handling income is included with revenue, while the associated costs are included with cost of sales.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in the design, development, and printing of Company literature and marketing materials. The Company expenses all advertising expenditures as incurred. The Companys advertising expenses for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $93,093 and $26,622, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, after elimination of the intercompany accounts and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is listed in Note 4.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure (hereinafter SFAS No. 148). SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of the statement are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As the Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, the adoption of SFAS 148 has had no impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (hereinafter SFAS No. 133), as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities. In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (hereinafter SFAS No. 149). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
Earnings Per Share
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings were the same as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2003 and 2002.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," include cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at September 30, 2003 and 2002.

Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the more likely than not standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. See Note 9.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and common stock equivalents. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
NOTE 3 COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of Class A no-par value of voting common stock and an unlimited number of shares of Class B no-par value of non-voting common stock. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had issued a limited number of Class A shares and no Class B Shares.
NOTE 4 ACQUISITIONS
On June 30, 2003, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Sharpworks Inc., an assembling/manufacturing company owned 50% by an officer of the Company. Sharpworks was incorporated December 5, 2001 under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. Currently Sharpworks carries the inventory and assembles merchandise for Flowstar to be sold in the oil and gas industry. In addition, Sharpworks assembles merchandise for two companies owned by one of the shareholders of the Company.
The purchase price of Sharpworks was $4,000 cash. The net book value of assets acquired was $112,600 and of liabilities acquired was $108,600. Upon its acquisition, Sharpworks became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended September 30, 2003 was $15,760. The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.
NOTE 7 LICENSE AGREEMENT
On December 6, 2001, the Company entered into a three-year license agreement with Flowray Inc. (hereinafter Flowray), a company owned in part by an officer of the Company. The license will automatically renew in one-year increments unless terminated with written notice. This license allows for the Company to use all of Flowrays technology to manufacture and sell products worldwide. A royalty payment of 10% of the products sold is contractually obligated to be paid on a quarterly basis. Subsequent to the date of these financial statements, Flowray transferred this license agreement to Quadra Products International Inc., a Barbadian corporation, as part of a sale agreement between Flowray and Quadra Products International Inc.
