EX-23.2 7 d13055exv23w2.txt REPORT OF KPMG LLP - STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN EXHIBIT 23.2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To Board of Directors and Shareholders Frigoscandia Holding AB We have audited the Frigoscandia Holding AB and subsidiaries consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001, not separately shown herein. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden and in the United States of America. 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, 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, Frigoscandia Holding AB and subsidiaries results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden. Generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States would have affected net income for the year ended December 31, 2001 to the extent summarized in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements, not separately shown herein.
