REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors
Screw Compression Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Screw Compression Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the Company as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Organization
Screw Compression Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “SCS”) (a Texas corporation) is engaged in the customizing, manufacturing, and leasing of oil and gas compression systems.
 
    Principles of Consolidation
The Company owns an interest in a Joint Venture, SCS/JALEX dba Cylinders in Plane (“CIP”). Under the terms of the Joint Venture agreement, SCS contributes all capital resources for the development of compressors and its partner contributes his expertise and services. All of the sales of CIP are to SCS. Proceeds from CIP go first to repay capital advances made by SCS. Remaining proceeds are split 50/50 among SCS and its venture partner. Based on the allocation of proceeds as stipulated in the agreement, there were no minority interests owed by the venture partner at December 31, 2003 or 2002. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
    On January 1, 2004, SCS purchased all of the venture partners’ interest for cash of $550,000.
 
    Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
    Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments consist of two certificates of deposit. These certificates of deposit have original maturities of one year.
 
    Accounts Receivable
The Company’s trade receivables consist primarily of customer obligations for the sale of compressors due under normal trade terms. The receivables are not collateralized. The Company extends credit based on management’s assessment of the customer’s financial condition, receivable aging, customer disputes and general business and economic conditions. Management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables of $2,198 at December 31, 2003 is adequate.
 
    Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventories was determined by the weighted average method. At December 31, 2003, inventory consisted of the following:

         
Raw materials
  $ 1,605,085  
Work in process
    497,494  
 
     
 
    2,102,579  
Less: inventory allowance
    (73,220 )
 
     
 
  $ 2,029,359

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are primarily computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to forty years.

Gains and losses resulting from sales and dispositions of property and equipment are included in current operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s policy is to periodically review the net realizable value of its long-lived assets through an assessment of the estimated future cash flows related to such assets. In the event that assets are found to be carried at amounts in excess of estimated undiscounted future cash flows, then the assets will be adjusted for impairment to a level commensurate with a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying assets. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes no impairment of long-lived assets exists at December 31, 2003.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $38,897 in 2003 and $45,911 in 2002.

Financial Instruments
Management believes that generally the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2003 approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the investments and the use of prevailing market interest rates for notes payable.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sales of compressors and parts are recognized upon shipment to customers. Revenue from compressor service is recognized upon providing services to the customer. Lease revenue is recognized over the term of the lease agreement. The Company’s only lease agreement in 2002 and 2003 is classified as an operating lease.

Per Share Data
Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. In 2003 and 2002, there were no common stock equivalent shares.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

    Description of Leasing Arrangements
The Company leases a compressor package to an entity in the petroleum industry. The Company’s cost and accumulated depreciation for the leased compressor as of December 31, 2003 was $333,675 and $111,225 respectively. This lease is classified as an operating lease with no fixed term and is on a month-to-month basis.
 
    Income Taxes
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be taxed under sections of federal and state income tax law which provide that, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders separately account for their pro rata shares of the Company’s items of income, deductions, losses and credits. As a result of this election, no income taxes have been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.
 
    Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term and the revisions could be material.
 
2.   Property and Equipment
 
    Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2003:

         
Building
  $ 2,114,397

    The Company is the defendant in a lawsuit related to the purchase of a former owner’s stock. The plaintiff is seeking damages of approximately $80,000. Legal counsel is unable to form an opinion on the likely outcome of the litigation and, therefore, no amounts are recorded in the financial statements.
