ITEM 8.                      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
 

 
LOGO FOR MCGLADREY PULLEN, LLP
 
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
 
Winland Electronics, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Winland Electronics, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the 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 Winland Electronics, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As described in Note 6 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).
 
We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Winland Electronics Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 included in this Annual Report under the caption “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

Item 9A.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of Winland’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2007.  Based on that review and evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other employees of Winland, the Certifying Officers have concluded that Winland’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information relating to Winland required to be disclosed in the reports that Winland files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to Winland’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
