INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Stockholders and Members

Value Lighting, Inc. and Affiliates

Marietta, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Value Lighting, Inc. and Affiliates, which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related combined statements of operations, 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 combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ 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 from 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 auditors’ 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.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

 

Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these combined financial statements. The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The ASC is the single official source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities and all of the ASC’s content carries the same level of authority.

Company operations

Value Lighting, Inc. and Affiliates as defined below (the “Company”) supply various customers throughout the United States in the Multi-Family Residential industry with quality lighting fixtures and ceiling fans.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying combined financial statements include the combined accounts of entities under common control and include Value Lighting, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Value Lighting”), AL Enterprises, Inc., a Texas corporation (“AL Enterprises”), Value Lighting of Houston, LLC, an inactive Texas limited liability company (“Value Houston”), and Aldean Properties, LLC, a variable interest entity (“Aldean”). Collectively, these entities are referred to as “Value Lighting Inc. and Affiliates” or the “Company”. All transactions and balances among the entities have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation of inventories and accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management has deemed this a normal business risk and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

The Company’s primary business activity is with customers located in the Southeast and Midwest region. This geographic concentration of customers sets up a concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. Losses pertaining to those credit risks, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management’s expectations.

 

Page 8


Concentration of credit risk - continued

 

The Company purchases the majority of its inventory from vendors located in Asia or from U.S. vendors that import the product from manufacturers in Asia. This concentration of purchases from foreign suppliers could cause a disruption to the Company’s operations due to political instability, civil unrest, economic instability, changes in government policies, and other risks that could occur.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market accounts and other highly-liquid investments.

Accounts receivable/allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company carries its accounts receivable at invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, when deemed necessary, based on the history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Accounts deemed uncollectable are written off through a charge to the allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $438 and $421, respectively. Generally, the Company does not require collateral on its accounts receivable and no interest is charged on customer accounts.

Revenue recognition

The Company prepares its combined financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The price and evidence of an arrangement are supported by customer purchase orders. Delivery has occurred once products are shipped and passage of title occurs.

Inventory

Inventory consists of purchased products and is valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. The Company records an allowance for slow moving and obsolete inventory based upon the history of past write-offs and anticipated future usage. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the allowance for slow moving and obsolete inventory was $2,905 and $2,465, respectively.

 

Page 9


Property and equipment

Management capitalizes expenditures for property and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses. Property and equipment are carried at cost. Adjustments to the asset and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts are made for property and equipment retirements and disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the combined statements of operations.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets at acquisition, which range from three to thirty-nine years. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment totaled $139 and $143, respectively.

Customer list

The customer list is the amount that the Company allocated as a part of the purchase price of the assets acquired from a third party in 2011. The customer list acquired is amortized on the straight-line basis over ten years. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, amortization expense of the customer list totaled $24 and $25, respectively. Future amortization of the customer list will be $24 for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2018, and $72 thereafter.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balances may not be recoverable. When factors or events indicate that such costs should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows of the assets over their remaining useful lives to evaluate whether the costs are recoverable. Management has determined that there are no impairments of long-lived assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Shipping and handling

The cost incurred for shipping and handling has been included in the cost of sales.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $21 and $0, respectively.

 

Page 10


Sales tax

The Company collects sales tax on products sold by the Company and records revenue net of the sales tax charged on sales.

Income taxes

The entities included in the combined financial statements are S-corporations or limited liability companies and are not subject to federal and most state income taxes at the entity level. Shareholders and members are subject to taxes for the taxable income generated by the Company. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect any provision for income taxes.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions date back to the year ended December 31, 2010. Federal and state income tax positions taken or anticipated to be taken in the income tax returns are attributable to the stockholders and members and not to the entity. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are no known items which would result in a material accrual attributable to uncertain tax positions.

Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 2, 2014, which is the date these combined financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events, if any, requiring recognition as of December 31, 2013 have been incorporated into these combined financial statements.

Note 3 - Financial instruments:

The FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2013. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and borrowings under the line of credit and mortgages and notes payable. The respective carrying values of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximate their fair value, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values of borrowings under the lines of credit approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and contain market interest rates. Fair values of mortgages and notes payable approximate carrying values for these financial instruments as they contain interest rates and terms that are comparable to those available in the current economic market for similar entities.

Note 4 - Borrowings under lines of credit:

On July 12, 2011, Value Lighting, Inc. entered into a line of credit agreement with a bank which allowed for borrowings up to $500 with a maturity date of July 12, 2012. The line of credit bore interest at the prime rate plus 1.00% and was collateralized by virtually all assets of Value Lighting, Inc. The line of credit agreement was renewed on July 24, 2012 and extended the maturity date to October 12, 2012. The line of credit agreement was renewed on September 25, 2012 and increased the allowed borrowings to $1,000 and extended the maturity date to September 25, 2013. The line was repaid in full during 2013.

On December 9, 2011, AL Enterprises, Inc. entered into a line of credit agreement with a bank which allowed for borrowings up to $500 with a maturity date of December 9, 2014. The line of credit bore interest at the prime rate plus 1.00% and was collateralized by virtually all assets of AL Enterprises, Inc. The line was repaid in full during 2013.

 

Page 12


In September 2013, Value Lighting, Inc. and AL Enterprises, Inc. entered into a line of credit agreement with a bank which allowed for borrowings up to $4,500, subject to availability calculated under a borrowing base, with a maturity date of June 15, 2014. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate (3.25% at December 31, 2013) and is collateralized by virtually all assets of Value Lighting, Inc. and AL Enterprises, Inc. and is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants.

Note 13 - Litigation:

The Company has been informed by a purchaser of a specific product sold by the Company in 2011 and 2012 that such product was defective and that the purchaser is seeking a full refund of the purchase price as well as related shipping and warehousing costs. The product was manufactured by a Chinese company and purchased by the Company from an importer; accordingly, the Company has notified the importer and has requested that the importer in turn notify its insurance carrier. The Company, the importer, and the customer are engaged in discussions to resolve the matter. However, at this time it is difficult to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome as the matter remains in an early stage and many facts remain unknown. If a liability exists it may be a liability of the importer or manufacturer. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not accrued any loss from this potential claim.

The Company has been notified that a product may infringe on a third party’s patents. The supplier of the product to the Company has informed the Company that the manufacturer of the product had obtained patents prior to the patents claimed by the third party. The Company believes that the infringement claim is frivolous and that the third party’s patents are likely invalid.
