Apollo Shoes, Inc.
Anderson, Olds, and Watershed (AOW) have audited the balance sheets of Apollo Shoes, Inc. for December 31 2006 and 2007 along with their statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows. These statements are the responsibility of Apollo Shoes, Inc.s management, and AOWs responsibility is to express an opinion based upon audits performed by our auditors.

Anderson, Olds, and Watershed feel that these audit tests and procedures provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit process did uncover three issues that are material, but do not affect Apollos financial statements as a whole. First, there is the issue of the unexpected withdrawal of Smith and Smith, CPAs from the audit and a lack of explanation from Apollo as to why they withdrew. Next, there is the issue of a pending class-action lawsuit against Apollo Shoes and Apollos largest customer is in bankruptcy proceedings causing sales to decrease significantly, and these two issues may put the companys status as a going concern in doubt.
It is the opinion of Anderson, Olds, and Watershed that the financial statements referred to in this report, in all material respects; present fairly the financial position of Apollo Shoes, Inc as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. It is also our opinion that
