  8. standard auditor’s report Qualified Opinion Disclaimer of Opinion We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Miller Motor Co. as of Dec. 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the three years ended Dec. 31, 2012. These 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 generally accepted auditing standards. 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Miller Motor Co. as of Dec. 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then endedin conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated. Qualified Opinion Adverse Opinion Did we Obtain Sufficient Appropriate Evidence from our Audit Procedures? Qualified and Qualified Are two very different opinions Do the financial statements present fairly?

  9. 4th standard of reporting The auditor must either express an opinion regarding the financial statements, taken as a whole, or state that an opinion cannot be expressed, in the auditor’s report. When the auditor cannot express an overall opinion, the auditor should state the reasons therefor in the auditor’s report. In all cases where the auditor’s name is associated with financial statements, the auditor should clearly indicate the character of the auditor’s work, if any, and the degree of responsibility the auditor is taking, in the auditor’s report if issuing a disclaimer of opinion
