UniTek Global Services, Inc. - FORM 8-K - EX-99.1

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UniTek Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UniTek Holdings, Inc. at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company has restated its statements of cash flows for 2009 and 2008.

Headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, UniTek USA, LLC (“UniTek”), is a premier provider of high-quality, specialized infrastructure services including engineering, construction management and installation fulfillment services to the telecommunications, network services, broadband cable and satellite industries. UniTek has created a scalable platform through which it can rapidly deploy a highly skilled workforce of over 5,000 throughout 89 field offices across the United States and Canada, delivering a comprehensive end-to-end suite of technical labor services. Operations in Canada contributed $12,405,971 and $6,614,944 in revenue in 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, our long-lived assets for continuing operations located in Canada were $2,571,444 and $501,455, respectively.

1. Background

On September 27, 2007, UniTek Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition”) purchased 100% of the outstanding membership interests of UniTek USA, LLC. Acquisition is a wholly owned subsidiary of UniTek Midco, Inc. (“Midco”). Midco has no substantive operations, assets or liabilities. Midco is a wholly owned subsidiary of UniTek Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” or the “Company”). Holdings is majority owned by an investment fund of HM Capital Partners, L.P. (“HM Capital”). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the assets and liabilities of the acquired operations were stated at fair value as of the acquisition date. The acquisition was treated as a purchase with Acquisition as the accounting acquirer.

The Company has adjusted its previously issued statements of cash flows for a mathematical error within cash provided from operations on the statement of cash flows. The adjustment has no impact on total cash flows from operating activities but did impact the reported amounts of cash provided by continuing operations and cash provided by discontinued operations. The effect of the adjustment for this error is that cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities - continuing operations changed from $6,232,268 to $5,150,164 and from $3,195,208 to ($4,873,342) on the amounts previously reported for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities - discontinued operations changed from ($19,764) to $1,062,340 and from ($1,777,409) to $6,291,141 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Certain cable operations that began during 2009 were discontinued during the first quarter of 2010. The Company's 2009 financial statements have been restated to classify the financial information of these cable businesses as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes (see Note 22). The effect of this adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2009 is that cash flows provided by operating activities - continuing operations increased by $387,941 and cash flows provided by operating activities - discontinued operations decreased by the same amount. These cable operations did not exist during 2008.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, amounts contained in certain of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, and the revenues and expenses reported for the periods covered by the financial statements. Although such assumptions are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. The Company’s more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowances for bad debts, and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets.

F-5

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In the ordinary course of accounting for items discussed above, the Company makes changes in estimates as appropriate and as the Company becomes aware of circumstances surrounding those estimates. Such changes and refinements in estimates are reflected in reported results of operations in the period in which the changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. A specific reserve for bad debts is recorded for known or suspected doubtful accounts receivable. For all other accounts, the Company recognizes a general reserve for bad debts based on the length of time receivables are past due and historical write-off experience. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies purchased from the customer and used for installation fulfillment services. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined by the first-in, first-out or the specific-identification method.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid and other current assets consist primarily of prepaid insurance, taxes and expenses. These costs are expensed ratably over the related periods of benefit.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is generally calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which principally range from three to seven years for computers, construction equipment, furniture, vehicles, and equipment. The useful life of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the term of the lease or five years. Assets under capital leases are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed and any resultant gains or losses are recognized.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is subject to an assessment for impairment using a two-step, fair value-based test with the first step performed at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances exist that indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company completes an annual analysis of the reporting units at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment test is performed to determine the implied value of goodwill for that reporting unit. If the implied value is less than the carrying amount of goodwill for that reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized for that reporting unit.

The Company amortizes intangible assets, consisting of customer contracts and noncompete agreements from acquired businesses, on a straight-line basis over the 12- to 60-month lives of those agreements (see Note 9).

Other Long-Term Assets

Costs associated with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt (see Note 8). At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $6,579,755 and $6,707,942 (net), respectively, is included in other long-term assets related to deferred financing fees.

The Company reviews impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable based on undiscounted estimated cash flows expected from its use and ultimate disposition. Assets to be disposed of are reclassified to assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value amount or fair value net of selling costs.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risks. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. All derivatives are accounted for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in earnings or other comprehensive income, based on whether the instrument is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from fulfillment services provided to the satellite and cable television markets are recognized as the services are rendered. The Company recognizes revenue from fulfillment services net of the satellite equipment because the Company has determined that it acts as an agent.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2009

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company also enters into contracts that require the installation or construction of specified units within an infrastructure system. Under these contracts, revenue is recognized at the contractually agreed price per unit as the units are completed. Unbilled revenues represent amounts earned and recognized in the period for which customer billings are issued in a subsequent period per the contract terms.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying value of the capital lease obligations approximates fair value because they bear interest at rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair values of debt and derivative instruments are discussed in Notes 11 and 12, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is recorded against a deferred tax asset when it is determined to be more-likely-than-not that the asset will not be realized.

The Company provides an intra-period tax allocation of the income tax expense or benefit for the year among continuing operations and discontinued operations.

Leases

The Company leases vehicles for performing fulfillment services in the satellite and cable services divisions. Leases are accounted for either as operating or capital depending on the terms of the lease. Each lease is reviewed as to the terms and a determination is made whether the vehicle is an operating or capital lease. Operating lease payments are expensed as incurred while payments on capital leases are included on the consolidated balance sheet as a liability and as a fixed asset.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values.

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 include stock option expense as compensation expense. Pretax stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,688,389 and $1,290,560, respectively (refer to Note 16 for additional information). For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, all stock-based compensation expense was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is based on the fair value of awards ultimately expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company values stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the current period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest. Limited historical forfeiture data is available. As such, management has based the estimated forfeiture rate on expected employee turnover. The Company records the cash flows resulting from the tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefit) as financing cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-year financial statements to conform to the current-year presentation.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Shares

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods plus the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of any instruments convertible to common stock, such as stock options or warrants. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, no additional shares were dilutive to the computation because Holdings reported a net loss for each of those years. Any outstanding stock options, warrants, or other instruments that are convertible to common stock could potentially be dilutive should Holdings report net income in a future period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new guidance related to business combinations. This guidance retains the fundamental requirements of existing guidance that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This guidance defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control.

Additionally, it requires contingent purchase price to be measured and recorded at its estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and the impact of the adoption of this guidance depends upon the nature and terms of business combinations that the Company consummates on or after January 1, 2009.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The new guidance provides a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company may recognize 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 taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood to be sustained upon ultimate settlement. The new guidance also covers the derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and expands disclosure requirements about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company has expanded its disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities (see Note 12).

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events. The standard provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events and incorporates this guidance into accounting literature. The standard is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the Company adopted this guidance commencing with the December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

F-10

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In June 2009, FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) was issued, effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification supersedes literature of the FASB, Emerging Issues Task Force and other sources. The Codification did not change U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and results of operations.

3. DirecTV Enterprises LLC/180 Connect Transaction

On April 18, 2008, the Company entered into an asset purchase and exchange agreement with DTV HSP Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DirecTV Enterprises, LLC (“DirecTV”), one of the Company’s significant customers. The acquisition closed on July 8, 2008. The results were included in the Company’s consolidated results beginning July 9, 2008. The agreement required the Company to pay cash and transfer three of its satellite television markets to DirecTV in exchange for 10 satellite television markets and a cable television installation business formerly owned by 180 Connect, Inc. The transaction allows the Company to develop additional market share and geographic diversification in the satellite television services. The associated cable business acquired in the transaction expanded the existing footprint in the southwestern U.S. and diversified the scope of work offered. No preexisting relationships were settled as part of this agreement.

Acquisition of Business

The Company has accounted for the asset purchase and exchange as a purchase of a business. The purchase price was calculated as the sum of the cash paid, the fair value of the satellite television markets transferred to DirecTV, certain liabilities assumed in the deal and the related transaction costs. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired from DirecTV based on their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of purchase price has been adjusted for the final valuation of fixed assets, the actual liabilities assumed in the transaction and the actual transaction costs.

The customer contracts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 28- to 60-month lives of those agreements. The noncompete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 24 months. The Company recognized amortization expense for intangible assets of $20,712,549 and $19,624,943 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Total	$	26,940,530

The Company performed its required annual goodwill impairment test as of October 3, 2009 and determined that the carrying value of its telecom reporting unit exceeded its fair value and was therefore impaired. The reduction in the fair value of the telecom reporting unit was a result of expected declines in revenue. The Company calculated the implied value of goodwill for that reporting unit by performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation, and determined that an impairment loss of $32,369,648 was required.

F-22

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets (continued)

The Company determined that the impairment of the Telecom reporting unit represented an indicator of impairment over the other intangible assets and long-lived assets of the reporting unit. Contracts of the Telecom reporting unit that were assigned a value on the date they were acquired by the Company are treated as an asset group for purposes of the long-lived impairment test. As a result, the Company performed the required tests of recoverability for each asset group over their lives and determined that the estimated undiscounted cash flows of its customer contracts and noncompete agreements did not exceed their carrying value. The Company calculated the fair value of these assets and determined that an impairment loss of $6,061,304 was required to state the customer contracts and the noncompete agreements at their fair values.

The methods of determining the fair value of the Telecom reporting unit, the customer contracts, and the noncompete agreements are discussed more fully in Note 21. The impairment losses were recorded as a component of operating loss in the Company’s 2009 consolidated statement of operations. No such impairment losses were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008.

11. Long-Term Debt (continued)

The Revolving Credit Facility provides loans in a maximum amount of $20,000,000 and matures on September 27, 2012. In connection with the closing of the amendment in January 2010, the interest rate is, at the Company’s option, either a rate of one-half of 1% per annum above the Federal Funds Rate plus 5.0% for base rate advances or the Eurodollar rate plus 6% provided that the rate will increase 75 basis points if the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) exceeds a certain level. Unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to a 1% commitment fee per annum. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had drawn $11,500,000 on the revolver and $2,975,000 of letters of credit were outstanding as of that date. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are classified as long-term debt based on the Company’s intent and ability to refinance the borrowing on a long-term basis. Borrowings on the revolver are secured by the assets of the Company.

The First Lien Term B Credit Facility as amended is for $78,000,000. The Company did not make any additions to the Term B credit facility in 2009. As of December 31, 2009, $75,502,500 was outstanding under the First Lien Term B Loan. The term loan provides for interest, depending on the Company’s election, with interest at a rate of one-half of 1% per annum above the Federal Funds Rate plus 5.5% or Eurodollar plus 6.5% at the Company’s option. At December 31, 2009 in connection with the closing of the amendment in January 2010, the interest rate increases by 75 basis points if the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) exceeds a certain level. The First Lien Term B loan is to be amortized from December 31, 2007 until maturity. The First Lien Term B Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Term Loan (First Lien)

The First Lien Term C Credit Facility is for $19,500,000 which is the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2009. There were no additions to the Term C in 2009. The Term C interest rate was amended to 16.25% on $8,000,000 of the Term C Credit Facility for the period from April 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 in connection with the December 2009 amendment and 13.08% on the remaining $11,500,000. Effective January 1, 2010, the interest rate on the $8,000,000 increased to 16.5%.

The First Lien Credit Agreement as amended includes various financial covenants, the most significant of which requires that the Company maintain certain quarterly financial ratios and limits annual capital expenditures. The required quarterly financial ratios become more restrictive to the Company over time. The Company’s future compliance with quarterly financial ratios is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profits in excess of required amounts, which is subject to the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company’s business. With the closing of the December 2009 amendment in January 2010, the Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2009. The Company was not in compliance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Facility at December 31, 2008 on the date of the original issuance of the financial statements; accordingly, the debt has been reflected as a current liability at December 31, 2008 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The second amendment in December modified certain financial covenants through September 2012 pending meeting the required terms for closing the amendment. These terms were met with an infusion of equity and the closing of an acquisition in January 2010 that are discussed in Note 24. The interest rate at December 31, 2009 was the greater of 15.0% per annum and the Eurodollar rate plus 7.25%. The Second Lien amendment included a change in the interest rate to a rate of the greater of 15.75% per annum and the Eurodollar rate plus 7.25%. Interest is due quarterly beginning on December 31, 2007 until maturity.

Holdings entered into a Loan Authorization Agreement dated as of September 25, 2007 with BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc. (“BMO”). The Loan Authorization Agreement established an $18,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Holdings Revolving Facility”), and amounts borrowed against the facility are evidenced by a promissory note. Interest is calculated based on the prime commercial rate, as defined in the Loan Authorization Agreement. The average interest rates during 2009 and 2008 were 7.25% and 5.5%, respectively. Interest on the borrowings are payable quarterly, at the option of Holdings, in cash or by adding such interest to the unpaid principal balance of the facility. All interest incurred to date has been added to the principal balance of the facility. Accrued and unpaid interest was $3,665,777 and $1,644,627 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Holdings Revolving Facility and any unpaid interest accumulated to date are payable and mature on demand of BMO. On March 24, 2008 and September 15, 2009, Holdings entered into amendments to the Loan Authorization Agreement that increased the amount of maximum credit under the facility to $28,000,000 and $35,000,000, respectively. The obligations under the Loan Authorization Agreement are guaranteed by two funds of HM Capital. There are no financial covenants included in the Holdings Revolving Facility. The Holdings Revolving Facility is not secured or guaranteed by any assets of Holdings' subsidiaries.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company manages interest rate exposure by using derivative instruments to reduce the variability of interest payments for variable-rate debt. The Company is also required to maintain interest rate hedge agreements covering a notional amount of not less than 50% of the debt outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement.

On November 29, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate collar agreement with an aggregate notional principal amount of $65,000,000 and a maturity date of November 30, 2010. The collar is used to hedge the required portion of the Company’s First Lien Credit Agreement and consists of a cap and a floor with a strike of 5.50% and 2.98%, respectively. The strike is indexed to three-month LIBOR. The change in the fair value of the derivative is reported as a component of interest expense. The amount of interest expense recorded for the interest rate collar for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,272,114 and $1,712,168, respectively, which includes changes in the fair value of the collar liability. The fair value of the interest rate collar liability was $1,547,663 and $1,669,076 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is recorded as a component of accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009 and as other long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008.
