INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Digeo, Inc.
Kirkland, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Digeo, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 1, 2009, ARRIS Group Inc. acquired substantially all of the assets of the Company and assumed select liabilities. Based on this and the Company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on November 3, 2009, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

DIGEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
1.   THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    The Company — Digeo, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally formed on September 30, 1999, as a Delaware limited liability company (LLC) for which no membership units were issued. The LLC was converted to a Delaware corporation on December 16, 2000. The Company designs and sells media center products and services that enhance the cable TV home entertainment experience. The Company’s Moxi service provides digital cable customers with easy access to popular features, such as digital video recording, multiple TV access, and high-definition TV, as well as music jukebox, photos, home networking, and games — accessible from any room in the house using one consistent screen menu.
 
    Significant Risks and Uncertainties — The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including reliance on key personnel; successful marketing of its services in an emerging market; concentration of sales to one related-party customer; competition from other companies with greater technical, financial management, and marketing resources; and successful continuing development and introduction of new products and services into the marketplace.
 
    Liquidity — Historically, the Company has relied upon equity and debt financing from its majority stockholder to fund its operations as its principal operating activities have yet to provide sufficient positive cash flows from operations. Without the continued support of its majority stockholder, or availability of other sources of funding, there has been significant uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. On October 1, 2009, ARRIS Group Inc. acquired substantially all of the assets of the Company and assumed select liabilities. On November 3, 2009, the Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (see Note 9).
 
    Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Digeo Interactive, LLC and Moxi Digital, Inc. (“Moxi”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
    Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and highly liquid investments, primarily money market funds, with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
 
    Restricted Cash — Restricted cash represents funds held in deposits that are required as collateral under the Company’s facility operating lease and manufacturing commitments. Amount restricted as of December 31, 2008, was $3,474,194. Collateral associated with the facilities’ operating leases will be available to the Company at the end of the lease term in 2015.

- 6 -


 

    Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable is stated at the net amount the Company expects to collect for outstanding receivables after application of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables are written off when the Company deems specific customer amounts to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2008, is $685,463.
 
    Inventory — Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method. Cost of inventory associated with deferred revenue is deferred until such revenue is recognized. Inventory balances as of December 31, 2008, consisted of the following:
         
Materials
  $ 581,976  
Finished goods
    4,314,964  
Deferred cost of goods sold
    956,320  
 
     
Total inventory
  $ 5,853,260  
 
     
    Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the related asset. Repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed in the period incurred.
 
    Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated.
 
    Warranties — In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to standard indemnification and warranty provisions that are contained within many of its customer license and service agreements. The Company has accrued $21,172 as of December 31, 2008, for warranty liability related to equipment sold.
 
    Software Development Costs — Costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are charged to expense as incurred until the technological feasibility of the product or enhancement has been established through the development of a working model. After establishing technological feasibility, additional development costs incurred through the date the software product is available for general release are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. No such costs have been capitalized in the year presented.
 
    The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of software that is for internal use and where no plan exists to market the software externally. Costs capitalized are included in property and equipment and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally three years. Costs incurred in the preliminary project stage and for training and data conversion are expensed as incurred. Costs capitalized in the year presented consist primarily of amounts paid to third parties for the license of software applications.

    Share-Based Compensation — Compensation expense associated with share-based payment awards granted to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense, less estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period in the statement of operations. The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-line method. Determining the fair value of share-based payment awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Assumptions used by management in calculating the grant date fair value of share-based awards are as follows:
 
    Expected Term — The expected term represents the period that the Company’s share-based payment awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses the simplified method by taking the average of the vesting term and the original contractual term.
 
    Expected Volatility — The Company’s volatility factor is estimated using comparable public company stock volatility.
 
    Expected Dividend — The Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends in the future, and as a result, the expected dividend is zero.
 
    Risk-Free Interest Rate — The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent term. Where the expected term of the Company’s stock-based awards does not correspond with the term for which an interest rate is quoted, the Company performs a straight-line interpolation to determine the rate from the available term maturities.
 
    The fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the following assumptions were used:
         
Risk-free interest rate
    1.38 %
Expected option life
  6 years
Expected stock price volatility
    70 %
Expected dividend yield
    0 %
    The per-share weighted-average fair value of employee stock options granted during 2008 was $0.08 (see Note 5).
 
    The Company accounts for share-based instruments issued to nonemployees by recognizing the fair value of such instruments as an expense over the period in which the related services are received.
 
    Revenue Recognition — The Company designs and sells media center products and services that enhance the cable TV home entertainment experience. The Company generates revenue from the sale of hardware, software, maintenance, and other services.
 
    Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met:
    When persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists
 
    Delivery has occurred
 
    The fee is fixed or determinable
 
    Collectability is reasonably assured

- 8 -


 

    Revenue is deferred when the above revenue recognition criteria are not met as well as when certain circumstances exist for any products or services, including, but not limited to:
    When undelivered products or services are essential to the functionality of delivered products
 
    When objective evidence of fair value is not available, and specifically when related to undelivered elements, and
 
    When required acceptance has not been received.
    Hardware — The Company generates hardware revenue through the sale of products, such as its digital video recorders. Hardware revenue recognition is generally established upon shipment to the customer or receipt of the product by the customer, as designated by the shipping terms, provided all the recognition criteria have been met and no significant obligations remain relative to the transaction. Based on the historical experience, the Company has established estimates related to sales returns and other allowances that are recorded as a reduction to revenue at the time the revenue is initially recorded. The hardware has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and there are no other undelivered elements under the arrangement.
 
    Software — The Company develops software for use in connection with cable television services that enable cable subscribers, among other things, to use an interactive on-screen programming guide and ticker to review television programs and other information on their own schedule and to record and view television programs in high definition. The software applications are provided by the Company for installation on and operation of the Company’s hardware. The software enables access to the Company’s portal services that provide specified content to the cable subscriber as managed by the cable operator.
 
    Services — The Company’s service revenue consists of support and maintenance as they pertain to the portal services provided by the Company to enable the push of content to the cable subscriber. The support and maintenance include software updates. Software updates provide customers with rights to unspecified updates to developed features and to maintenance releases and patches that the Company chooses to release during the period of support. Maintenance and support service fees are generally billed in advance of the associated maintenance term. Maintenance and support fees collected are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the maintenance period.
 
    The Company licenses the use of this software and sells services and maintenance as it pertains to their portal. The software license, service, and maintenance are initially deferred and recognized straight-line over the license period of five years.
 
    Multiple Element Arrangements — Certain customer transactions may include multiple deliverables based on the bundling of hardware, software, and services. When a multiple-element arrangement exists, the fee from the arrangement is allocated to the various deliverables so that the proper amount can be recognized as revenue as each element is delivered.
 
    Cost of Sales Deferred to Future Periods — Incremental direct costs associated with deferred revenues have been deferred and classified as current assets to the extent that the related deferred revenues will be recognized in the next 12 months. Deferred cost of sales is included as a component of inventory.
 
    Income Taxes — The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on

- 9 -


 

    deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
    Concentrations of Risk — The Company maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. Management believes that the financial risks associated with such deposits are minimal. The Company’s sales are largely comprised of one related-party customer (see Note 7).
 
    Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The fair value of certain financial instruments has not been disclosed, since it is not practicable to do so because such financial instruments are held by the related-party and estimating their fair value cannot be made without incurring excessive cost.
 
    New Accounting Standards — In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, for public companies. The effective date of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, for nonpublic entities has been deferred until years beginning after December 15, 2008. A nonpublic enterprise is not qualified for the deferral if (a) it is a consolidated entity of a public enterprise that applies accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America (U.S. GAAP)or (b) has issued a full set of U.S. GAAP annual financial statements which has adopted FIN No. 48 prior to the issuance of this FASB Staff Position (FSP). The Company does not meet the above two criteria and, therefore, is qualified to defer the adoption of FIN No. 48 until the year ending December 31, 2009. The cumulative effects, if any, of adopting FIN No. 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
    In September 2006, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to fair value measurements. This guidance provides for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. Under the statement, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Also, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. The statement applies whenever other statements require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and will be applied prospectively. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of the guidance for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, is effective upon issuance. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, of adopting the guidance on its consolidated statements.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to the option to account for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. This accounting guidance provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting guidance also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. However, it does not

    eliminate the disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements of financial instruments and disclosure of fair value of financial instruments. The guidance is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. In 2008, the Company has not elected to exercise its option to account for financial assets and liabilities at fair value pursuant to FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.

Deferred tax assets:
       
Net operating loss carryforwards
  $ 105,690,808
