Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors and members of Premex Group Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Premex Group Limited and its subsidiary undertakings as of 30 November 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated profit and loss accounts and cash flow statements for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Premex Group Limited and its subsidiary undertakings as of 30 November 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom vary in certain significant respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effects of such differences is presented in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated financial statements
30 November 2010
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
1 Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements, except as noted below.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards.
As highlighted in note 10 to the financial statements, the Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through an invoice discounting facility. The current economic conditions create uncertainty particularly over the availability of bank finance in the foreseeable future. However the invoice discounting facility has been renewed subsequent to the year end, and is due for renewal again in January 2012. The directors will open negotiations in due course and are confident that an appropriate level of funding will be available.
The Group’s forecasts and projections, taking account of the reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its current facility.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and the company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Basis of consolidation
The Group accounts consolidate the accounts of Premex Group Limited and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 November each year. The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed. Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost net of depreciation.
Depreciation is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the estimated useful life of the assets. The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
Fixtures and fittings - 15% straight line
Computer equipment - 33% reducing balance basis
Leasehold improvements - straight line over the term of the lease
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings, representing any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life, which is twenty years. Provision is made for any impairment.
Negative goodwill arising on the acquisition of a business is released to the profit and loss account over the period in which the non-monetary assets are recovered.
Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Intangible fixed assets purchased separately from a business are capitalised at their cost and written off on a straight line basis over their useful economic life, which is 5 years.

Notes (continued)
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Taxation
Current tax, including UK corporation tax and foreign tax, is provided on amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and law that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the Group’s taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.
A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing difference can be deducted.
Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.
Leases
Operating lease rentals are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pensions
For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to the profit and loss account in respect of pension costs and other post-retirement benefits is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.
Debt
Debt is initially stated as an amount of the net proceeds after the deduction of issue costs.
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods in the normal course of business, net of any trade discounts. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are physically delivered to the customer.
The Group makes some sales where the revenue is contingent on the outcome of a court case. Revenue on these sales is deferred until the outcome of the case is known. The direct costs associated with deferred revenue are recognised on a consistent basis.

17 UK to US GAAP Reconciliation
The Group prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (‘UK GAAP’), which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘US GAAP’). Reconciliations of profit for the financial year (or net income) and shareholders’ funds (or shareholders’ equity) as reported in the Consolidated financial statements under UK GAAP and those under US GAAP are set out below:

Explanation of Notes:
(a) Non-controlling interest
Under UK GAAP minority interests (referred to as “non-controlling interests” under US GAAP) in the net income and net assets of subsidiaries is deducted in arriving at the profit for the financial year and the shareholders’ funds. Under US GAAP non-controlling interests are not deducted in arriving at profit for the financial year but are instead reported as an allocation of the profit for the year. In addition, non-controlling interests are reported as part of equity under US GAAP.
(b) Goodwill
Under UK GAAP, positive goodwill arising on acquisitions is capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful economic life of 20 years.
Under US GAAP, goodwill is not amortised but is instead tested for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit to a value below its carrying value. The test for impairment consists of a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of a reporting unit, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The first step is a screen for potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any, by determining the implied fair value of goodwill. The Group conducts impairment testing in November of each year or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment. There were no impairments noted related to goodwill for any of the periods presented. Any impairments will be charged to the profit and loss account.

Consolidated financial statements

Notes (continued)
17 UK to US GAAP Reconciliation (continued)
The adjustments reflect the elimination of all goodwill amortization recorded in the profit and loss account for the periods presented as well the amortization expense recorded to date through shareholders’ funds.
(c) Business combinations
For business combinations, the purchase method of accounting is used for UK GAAP whereby the acquiring entity allocates consideration for the transaction to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition with the difference treated as goodwill. The Consolidated accounts for these business combinations are on a consistent basis under US GAAP with the following exceptions:
Under UK GAAP, the Group recognises intangible assets separately in a business combination only when they can be disposed of separately without disposing of the business of the entity and their value can be measured reliably on initial measurement.
Under US GAAP, the Group recognises acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if (i) they arise from contracted or other legal rights even if the assets are not transferable or separable from the acquired entity or from other rights and obligations; or (ii) they are capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged.
The adjustments reflect the recognition of acquired intangible assets including customer lists, trade names and developed technology and the related amortisation expense for the periods presented as well the accumulated amortization expense.
(d) Deferred taxes
Under UK GAAP, the Group provides for deferred tax in respect of timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date, where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of available evidence, it is regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits against which to recover carried forward tax losses and from which the future reversal of underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Under US GAAP, deferred taxation is provided for all temporary differences (differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax bases) on a full liability basis. Certain items that are treated as permanent differences under UK GAAP are treated as temporary differences under US GAAP. Deferred tax assets are also recognised (net of a valuation allowance) to the extent that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realised.
The adjustment reflects the tax effect of the incremental amortization expense recorded in accordance with US GAAP.
Classification differences between UK and US GAAP
In addition to the differences between UK and US GAAP related to the recognition and measurement of transactions by the Group, there are also a number of differences in the manner in which items are classified in the consolidated profit and loss account and consolidated balance sheet. These classification differences have no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.
Statement of Cash flows
Under UK GAAP, cash and cash equivalents include bank overdrafts. Under US GAAP, changes in the balance of bank overdrafts are classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. This amounts to £1,411,384 (2009: £493,742). In addition under UK GAAP the reconciliation of net each flow to movement in net debt is included as part of either the primary statements or notes to the primary statements.
Aside from the above, there are no material differences between cash or funds flow reporting reported in the primary financial statements and cash flows under UK GAAP that would be reported in a statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
