REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of North South Holdings Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of North South Holdings Inc. (a company in the development stage) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from November 9, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 North South Holdings, Inc. (a company in the development stage), as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND
INFORMATION FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED
JUNE 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

(NOTE 1) ORGANIZATION:
 
North South Holdings Inc. and Subsidiary ("North South" or the “Company”) was incorporated on November 9, 2012 in the state of Delaware. North South was formed to seek business opportunities in which to acquire patents from various entities and monetize the disposal of them through sales, litigation or licensing. The Company issued 500 shares of preferred stock and 500 shares of common stock to its founders in exchange for initial capital contributions of $1,000,000 in cash.
 
The Company is a "development stage enterprise” as its primary activities since inception have been the development of its business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital. To date, the Company has generated minimal revenues from its operations.  As a development stage enterprise, the Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by a newly formed business.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and for the six months then ended, and for the period from November 9, 2012 (inception) through June 30, 2013 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012.  In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for such periods.

In April 2013 the Company, its shareholders, Spherix Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Spherix"), and Spherix's wholly owned subsidiary, Nuta Technology Corp., a Virginia corporation (“Nuta”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Amended Merger Agreement") with the Company (the “Merger”). On September 10, 2013 the transaction contemplated under the Amended Merger Agreement was completed. Upon closing of the transaction the Company merged with and into Nuta with Nuta as the surviving corporation.  Nuta will continue its operations in the State of Virginia as the record owner of the Company’s intellectual property.  
 
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger, at the closing of the Merger, all of the Company’s 5,213 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (including the 3,024 shares of common stock that were issued due to the  conversion of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock in August 2013) were converted into an aggregate of 1,203,153 shares of  Spherix's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Spherix Common Stock”), and all of the Company’s 491 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock  and all of the Company’s 107 issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock  were converted into an aggregate of 1,379,685 shares of Spherix's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which is convertible into shares of Spherix Common Stock on a one-for-ten basis (collectively with the 1,203,153 shares of Spherix Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”).

(NOTE 2) LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S BUSINESS PLANS:

The Company’s business will require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer term business plan. The Company had cash and working capital of $1,630,166 and $1,681,943, respectively at June 30, 2013 and a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $224,614 and a net loss for the period from November 9, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 of $35,953.

The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to sustain operations as a stand-alone business through at least July 1, 2014.  The Company’s cash and working capital amounts were derived from the proceeds of an initial financing transaction in which it raised aggregate proceeds of $1 million through the issuance of Series A Preferred and common stock to its founding stockholders.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company raised an additional approximate $2.2 million through the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock.  Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company raised an additional approximate $1.8 million through the issuance of common stock (See Note 10).

As disclosed in Note 4, the Company acquired a portfolio of patents from Harris Corporation in December 2012 and an additional portfolio of patents in April of 2013 effectuated as a transfer of the membership interests of Compufill LLC.  In order to license or otherwise monetize the patent assets acquired, the Company may commence legal proceedings against certain parties asserting that such parties infringe on one or more of the Company’s patents.  The Company’s viability is highly dependent on the outcome of its business plan and there is a risk that the Company may be unable to achieve the results it desires from any potential litigation or licensing agreement, which failure would harm the Company’s business to a great degree.

Disputes regarding the assertion of patents and other intellectual property rights are highly complex and technical.  The Company may be forced to litigate against others to enforce or defend its intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of other parties’ proprietary rights. The defendants or other third parties involved in the lawsuits in which the Company is involved may allege defenses and/or file counterclaims in an effort to avoid or limit liability and damages for patent infringement. If such defenses or counterclaims are successful, they may have an impact on the value of the patents and preclude the Company from deriving revenue from the patents.

As a result, a negative outcome of any such litigation, or one or more claims contained within any such litigation, could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business. Additionally, the Company anticipates that its legal fees and other expenses will be material and could have an adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations if its efforts to monetize these patents are unsuccessful.  In addition, the costs of enforcing the Company’s patent rights may exceed its recoveries from such enforcement activities. Accordingly, in order for the Company to generate a profit from its patent enforcement and monetization activities, the revenues from such enforcement and monetization activities must be high enough to offset both the cash outlays and the contingent fees payable from such revenues. The Company’s failure to monetize its patent assets or the occurrence of unforeseen circumstances that could have a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity could significantly harm its business.

(NOTE 2) LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S BUSINESS PLANS (continued):

Should the Company be unsuccessful in its efforts to execute its business plan, it could become necessary for the Company to reduce expenses, curtail its operation or possibly suspend or discontinue its business activities.

(NOTE 3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(A)  
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

(B)  
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary CompuFill LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(C)  
Intangible Assets – Patent Portfolios

Intangible assets are comprised of patents with original estimated useful lives between 8 and 9 years (20 year life of underlying patent, less the approximate 11 to 12 years elapsed since original patent application). The Company amortizes the cost of the intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis.  Costs incurred to acquire patents, including legal costs, are also capitalized as long-lived assets and amortized on a straight-line basis with the associated patent.

 (D)       Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.  The Company has not identified any such impairment losses.

(NOTE 3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

(E)       Cash

The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances maybe in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

(F)       Income Taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2012. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

(G)       Revenue Recognition

The Company currently derives all its revenues from past production payments. Past production payment revenues are royalty payments for the use of the Company’s intellectual property and when payments are made as part of a settlement of a patent infringement dispute.

Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all obligations have been substantially performed pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability is reasonably assured. Based on the criteria enumerated in ASC 605, the Company records its revenues and costs associated with its patent enforcement activities gross on the consolidated statement of operations.

(H)       Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues include the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s patent enforcement activities, including inventor royalties paid to original patent owners, contingent legal fees paid to external patent counsel, other patent-related legal expenses paid to external patent counsel, licensing and enforcement related research, consulting and other expenses paid to third parties and the amortization of patent-related acquisition costs.

(NOTE 3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

(I)       Inventor Royalties and Contingent Legal Expenses

Inventor royalties are expensed in the period that the related revenues are recognized. In certain instances, pursuant to the terms of the underlying inventor agreements, costs paid by the Company to acquire patents are recoverable from future net revenues. Patent acquisition costs that are recoverable from future net revenues are amortized over the estimated economic useful life of the related patents, or as the prepaid royalties are earned by the inventor, as appropriate, and the related expense is included in amortization expense. Any unamortized patent acquisition costs recovered from net revenues are expensed in the period recovered.

Contingent legal fees are expensed in the period that the related revenues are recognized. In instances where there are no recoveries from potential infringers, no contingent legal fees are paid; however, the Company may be liable for certain out of pocket legal costs incurred pursuant to the underlying legal services agreement. Legal fees advanced by contingent law firms that are required to be paid in the event that no license recoveries are obtained are expensed as incurred.

(J)       Concentrations of Market, Interest Rate and Credit Risk

Concentrations of market, interest rate and credit risk may exist with respect to the Company’s investments in patent portfolios and its other assets and liabilities. Market risk is a potential loss the Company may incur as a result of changes in the fair value of its investment in patent portfolios. Interest rate risk includes the risk associated with changes in prevailing interest rates. Credit risk includes the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of counterparties to make payments according to the terms of a contract.

(K)       Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

Generally accepted accounting principles defined a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported for cash, approximate fair value.

(NOTE 4) INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

(A)  Harris Corporation Patent Purchase
On December 20, 2012, the Company purchased two hundred twenty two (222) patents from Harris Corporation (“Harris”) of Melbourne, Florida.  North South paid $320,000 to Harris plus $80,000 of commissions and $15,000 of legal fees.  North South also agreed to pay to Harris 5% of the gross amount of any judgment or settlement proceeds received by North South in any action for infringement claims pursued by North South, provided that Harris has complied with all reasonable requests for assistance in connection with such action.  Currently, no litigation is pending on these patents.  The technology covered by the portfolio includes: Solar, cellular, microwave communications, satellite communication, antenna technology, wifi and radio communication.

(B)  
CompuFill Purchase

On April 15, 2013, the Company completed a purchase of two patents for $350,000 that was effectuated through a transfer of the membership interests of CompuFill LLC (“CompuFill”).
 
CompuFill was organized as a California limited liability company on January 5, 2011.  CompuFill’s activities through the date of this purchase were limited to (i) a purchase of two specific patents from an unrelated party in exchange for a contractually defined share of any future revenues realized upon the monetization of such patents; (ii) the filing of one patent infringement litigation case against six (6) companies to monetize the two patents; (iii) settlement of that litigation case, and (iv) the filing of four (4) additional separate infringement claims in February 2013 that are being pursued by the Company subsequent of this transaction.

Richard Reichert, as the inventor of the patented technology, is entitled to receive 40% of all net profits generated from the Company’s licensing program.  Net profits are defined as gross profits, minus attorney’s fees and litigation cost and expenses.  In addition, CompuFill had previously retained the law firm of Stevens Love PLLC to handle the patent licensing program.  Stevens Love PLLC is compensated on a contingency fee basis that is paid on sliding scale that ranges from 15% to 30% of all revenue generated from the licensing program.  Upon acquiring CompuFill, the Company agreed to have Stevens Love continue representing CompuFill at the contingency fee structure already in place.

In May and June 2013, the Company settled two of the four cases outstanding at the date these patents were purchased for gross proceeds of $94,000. Expenses of $30,208 to the inventor (40% of the gross settlement amount less legal expenses) and $17,440 for legal fees in connection with the settlement were incurred by the Company to arrive at a net settlement amount of $46,352.

SPHERIX INCORPORATED and NORTH SOUTH HOLDINGS INC.
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
 
Note 1: Description of Transaction
 
    On April 2, 2013, the Spherix Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with its wholly owned subsidiary, Nuta Technology Corp., a Virginia corporation (“Nuta”), North South Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("North South"), the owner or assignee of certain patents, licenses and applications (the “North South Intellectual Property”), and the shareholders of North South (the "North South Shareholders").  This agreement was amended on August 30, 2013.  On September 10, 2013, the transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement was completed and North South merged with and into Nuta with Nuta as the surviving corporation.  Nuta will operate in the State of Virginia as the record owner of the North South Intellectual Property.
 
    Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger, at the closing of the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of North South’s capital stock were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 1,203,153 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 1,379,685 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), which is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock on a one-for-ten basis (collectively with the 1,203,153 shares of Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”).  Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on all shareholder matters, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such shares are convertible into at such time, unless the holder is precluded from affecting the conversion taking into account beneficial ownership limitations and conversion limits as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
 
    At the effective time of the Merger, from the Merger Consideration, 555,072 shares of common stock and 94,493 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Escrow Shares”) shall be delivered to an escrow agent and shall be held pursuant to an escrow agreement to secure the Company from certain claims that may arise with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants or indemnification obligations of the North South Shareholders for a period of twelve (12) months following the closing of the Merger.  The Escrow Shares are the sole remedy for indemnifiable losses payable under the Merger Agreement.
 
Note 2: Basis of Presentation
 
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and was based on the historical financial statements of Spherix and North South.
 
    Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as of the completion of the North South Acquisition, primarily at their respective fair values and added to those of Spherix.  Financial statements and reported results of operations of Spherix issued after completion of the North South Acquisition will reflect these values, but will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of North South.
 
    Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs (i.e., advisory, legal, valuation, other professional fees) and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

SPHERIX INCORPORATED and NORTH SOUTH HOLDINGS INC.
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
 
Note 2: Basis of Presentation (continued)
 
    In connection with the North South Acquisition, total acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by Spherix and North South are estimated to be approximately $650,000, consisting of acquisition-related transaction costs to be incurred by Spherix.  The estimated acquisition-related transaction costs will be expensed by Spherix as follows: $200,000 expensed in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and $450,000 to be expensed in the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
 
    On September 10, 2013, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the new Chief Executive Officer for a base salary of $350,000 plus a signing bonus of $100,000. No adjustment has been made for this amount in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and six months ended June 30, 2013 due to the fact that the historical financial statements of Spherix include compensation expense for similar executives who, as of the date of the Merger, are no longer employed by Spherix.

Note 3: Accounting Policies
 
    As of the acquisition date, Spherix is reviewing, in detail, North South’s accounting policies.  As a result of that review, Spherix may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements.  At this time, Spherix is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements.
 
    As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies.
 
Note 4: Fair Value Consideration Transferred in Connection with the North South Acquisition
 
    The following is a preliminary estimate of the purchase consideration transferred in the North South Acquisition. The estimated valuation of the Company’s patent portfolios was based on independent appraiser’s report dated September 10, 2013:

SPHERIX INCORPORATED and NORTH SOUTH HOLDINGS INC.
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
 
Note 4: Fair Value Consideration Transferred in Connection with the North South Acquisition (continued)
 
    Intangible assets are comprised of patents with estimated useful lives between 8 and 9 years (20-year life of underlying patent, less the approximate 11 to 12 years elapsed since original patent application).  Once placed in service, Spherix will amortize the costs of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.  Costs incurred to acquire patents, including legal costs, are also capitalized as long-lived assets and amortized on a straight-line basis with the associated patent.
 
    Goodwill of $1,711,883 will be recognized in this transaction which represents the difference between the consideration of the stock of $5,510,749 and the net assets received by the Company of $3,798,866.

    This note should be read in conjunction with Note 1. Description of Transaction; Note 2. Basis of Presentation; and Note 4.
