INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Spectrum, Inc. and its subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Spectrum, Inc. and subsidiaries and combined entities (collectively, the Company), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, and the related combined statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 combined financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements as of and for the year ended January 2, 2016, related to the reassessment of two leases as capital leases that had previously been reported as operating leases. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s operations are affected by numerous factors including market acceptance, changes in technologies and new laws and government regulations and policies. The Company cannot predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Company’s operations.

Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, the reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventories, the fair value of long-lived and intangible assets, and the realizability of deferred tax assets and unrecognized tax benefits. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase as cash and cash equivalents. The Company, periodically throughout the year, has amounts on deposit that exceed insured limits.

 

7


Accounts Receivable

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on past due accounts.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in first-out method) or net realizable value and are net of slow moving and obsolescence reserves.

Investment in Marketable Securities Classified as Available-For-Sale Securities

Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related deferred tax effect, are reported as other comprehensive income or loss. Realized gains and losses, including losses from declines in value of specific securities determined by management to be other than temporary, are included in earnings. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the specific identification of the securities sold.

As of April 1, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, $390,000, $396,000 and $356,000, respectively, in available-for-sale securities included equity securities of two unrelated companies within the same industry that the Company operates. The cost of these investments approximates $352,000, with no purchases in the quarter ended April 1, 2017 or in fiscal years 2016 or 2015. The following table sets forth a summary of other comprehensive gain (loss) recognized on these investments during the quarters ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 and fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

In 2016, the Company made an investment in a venture capital limited partnership. The cost of this investment is $600,000, with additional committed capital of $400,000 due in 2017. There was no gain or loss associated with this investment in the quarter ended April 1, 2017 or fiscal year 2016.

Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (ranging from 3 to 30 years) of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization of leasehold improvements is included with depreciation expense. No depreciation is being provided for the Company owned artwork, which is carried at its historical cost.

The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value (estimated discounted future cash flows) of the long-lived assets.

Changes in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances or changes to the Company’s business strategy, could result in the actual useful lives of long-lived assets differing from initial estimates. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of a long-lived asset should be revised, the Company will amortize or depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB). Based upon the provisions of this guidance, the Company first assesses certain qualitative factors to determine whether it is more

 

8


likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the qualitative events and circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary and no impairment of goodwill exists. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit’s carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the unit’s carrying value, then the Company is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and tax credit carryforwards and deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Undistributed earnings of non-U.S. entities amounted to approximately $7,962,000 and $7,684,000 at April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal or state deferred taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes, which could potentially be offset by foreign tax credits. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.

Overseas is set up as an Interest Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC) for tax savings on sales to customers located outside the United States of America. Overseas’ stockholders are required to pay only a nominal “interest charge” to the federal government with respect to taxes that are deferred on Overseas’ income. The stockholders then recognize the dividend income received from the IC-DISC on their tax returns as qualified dividend income.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes under the required provisions of accounting guidance issued by the FASB. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. Additionally, the interpretation provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. At April 1, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, the Company had an accrual of $576,000, $534,000 and $355,000, respectively, for potential losses related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the years prior to fiscal 2013 for federal and 2012 for California.

In April 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) notified the Company that it would begin an examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for 2014. The Company has responded to the requests for information from the IRS, however, the examining agent has not yet indicated whether there would be a proposed assessment or no change proposed. No provision has been made in the accompanying combined financial statements since any ultimate liability cannot be reasonably estimated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue at the time the related products are shipped.

Product Returns and Warranties

The Company records a provision for estimated product returns and warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized, which is included in sales returns and allowances.

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense was $133,000 and $97,000, during quarters ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 and $537,000 and $599,000 during fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively, inclusive of trade shows.

Remeasurement of Foreign Currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities of Spectrum B.V., Spectrum China and the Spectrum Japan distribution office are remeasured into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and nonmonetary assets and stockholders’ equity are remeasured using historical rates of exchange. Income and expenses are remeasured at average rates during the respective years. The functional currency of these entities and this division is the U.S. dollar; therefore, remeasurement gains or losses are included in income. Remeasurement (gains) losses included in the combined statements of comprehensive income were ($90,000) and ($201,000) in the quarters ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, $264,000 in fiscal year 2016 and $323,000 in fiscal year 2015.

Fair Value Measurements

The FASB provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this framework are described as follows:

 

Level 1     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2     Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
      •   quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
      •   quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
      •   inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
      •   inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Accordingly, the Company believes the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses to be representative of their fair values based on their short term nature. For investments in marketable securities, the carrying amount is fair market value based on quoted market prices. For long term debt and the line of credit, the carrying value is considered to approximate the fair value of such debt for all periods presented based upon the interest rates that the Company believes it can currently obtain for similar debt.

Additional disclosures regarding assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the required provisions of accounting guidance issued by the FASB. This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be measured at fair value and expensed in the combined statements of comprehensive income over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The Company elected the modified prospective method as prescribed by the guidance, whereby compensation cost is only recognized in the combined statements of comprehensive income beginning with the first period that the guidance is effective and thereafter.

There were no options that vested in the quarter ended April 1, 2017, or in fiscal year 2016 or 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB amended guidance that gives private companies the option to amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over a period of ten years or over a shorter period if the company demonstrates that another useful life is more appropriate. Goodwill would be subject to impairment testing only upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The amendment was effective for the Company in 2015. The alternative is applied on a prospective basis, with amortization of existing goodwill commencing at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has not adopted this pronouncement.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to change the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount

 

10


equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The guidance will be effective for the Company in 2019. The Company has not completed its assessment but does not expect this amendment to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. This guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of this pronouncement. The Company has reclassified all deferred taxes as of January 2, 2016 as non-current to give retroactive effect to this change.

Intra Entity transfer of Assets - In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory ASU 2016-16, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe such an adoption will have a material impact.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to improve financial reporting for leasing transactions. This guidance will require companies to recognize on the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations, respectively, created by leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The guidance will also require disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This guidance will be effective for the Company in 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on its combined financial statements and related disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has restated its previously issued combined financial statements as of and for the years ended on January 2, 2016 (fiscal year 2015) and December 27, 2014 (fiscal year 2014) which consisted of 53 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively, to correct an error in the accounting for two leases. During 2014, the Company entered a lease with the majority stockholder for a property in Palm Desert, California and renegotiated a lease for property in Las Vegas, Nevada with the same lessor. As a result of lessor put options included within the leases, the leases have been determined to be capital leases from the effective dates of lease execution/amendment. The restatements are reflected in these combined financial statements. See Note 7 for information related to the capital leases.

Certain disclosures, including Notes 5, 6, 7, 9, 14 and 15 have been restated consistent with the combined financial statements.

As a result of this error, the following adjustments have been made to previously issued combined financial statements:

As of April 1, 2017, and December 31, 2016 the Company had reserves of $2,005,000 and 1,832,500, respectively that the Company expects to utilize against its taxable income in future years.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing on its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company’s history of cumulative profitability, management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to fully realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has not been established against any of the Company’s identified deferred tax assets. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period and will continue to monitor this matter going forward.

The Company evaluates the uncertainty of a tax position on whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any appeals or litigation process, and based on the technical merits of the tax position in question. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

For the quarters ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 and fiscal years 2016 and 2015, the Company had uncertain tax position of $575,000, $406,000, $534,000, and $355,000, respectively, related to certain identified potential losses. A roll-forward of the Company’s identified uncertain tax positions is as follows:

The Company files tax returns in the United States, China, India and various other state and foreign jurisdictions. All of the Company’s tax years remain open to examination of major taxing authority from 2012 to the present. To the extent a carryforward attribute such as identified tax credits were generated in years past, they may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state and foreign tax authorities if they will have or will be used in the future periods. The Company has received notice from the Internal Revenue Service of a pending examination however, at this time, time the Company has not identified any quantifiable taxes that might otherwise be due.

The resolution of tax matters, when and if identified, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s, the financial statements. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as part of the tax provision. The Company reported no material interest and penalties pertaining to uncertain tax positions in 2016 or 2017.

NOTE 8 – STOCK OPTION PLANS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In February of 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the EIP) reserving 1,341,400 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of stock options under the EIP. Exercise prices for the stock options will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options under the EIP expire not more than ten years from date of grant. Options issued under the EIP will become exercisable over a specified period upon issuance of the option determined at that time by the Administrator of the EIP. There were no stock options issued under the EIP in 2017 or 2016.

A summary of the status of the EIP and changes during fiscal years 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

The current rent is approximately $41,000 per month through the remainder of the lease. Total rent expense incurred under this agreement during the quarters ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 was $122,000 and $122,000, respectively, and in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 was $488,000 and $501,000, respectively.

The current rent is approximately $12,600 and $9,500 per month for these facilities, respectively, and the Company subleases a portion of both these buildings to third parties. Future monthly rents for these leases range from $9,500 to $13,400 through the remainder of these leases.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events through June 14, 2017 which is the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this evaluation, other than subsequent events previously disclosed in the footnotes, no events required disclosure in or adjustment to the combined financial statements, other than the following:

In May 2017, the Company gifted a collection of artwork, with a value of approximately $211,000, to a non-for-profit entity. In June 2017, the remaining artwork was sold to the majority stockholder at its fair value of approximately $704,000.

In June 2017, the Company sold its marketable securities to the majority stockholder at cost, which approximates its market value, except for an investment valued at $12,000. The majority stockholder has assumed the obligation to fund additional capital investment related to one of the investments, in the amount of $400,000.

The Company received a demand letter in May 2017 on behalf of a former employee of the Company. The Company has tendered the demand to its insurance carrier and believes it is insured for this type of claim, subject to a $50,000 deductible. No recognition of this issue has been recorded as any liability is not reasonably estimateable and would likely not be material.

The Company is in the process of forming a new subsidiary that will operate in South Korea.
