Independent Auditors' Report
Board of DirectorsPortland, Oregon
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ABC Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations and shareholders’ equity 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 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.
