Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
CamelBak Products, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CamelBak Products, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net investment by Parent, and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 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 audit provides 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 CamelBak Products, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
| (1) | The Company |
CamelBak Products, LLC (the Company) is a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned by CBK Holdings, LLC (CBK or Parent). The Company has 1,000 authorized common membership units with no par value and has all the voting rights but does not participate in distributions.
A majority of CBK’s membership interests are owned by Irving Place Capital (IPC), a private equity investment fund. CBK also owns Armacel Armor Corporation (Armacel), a Nevada corporation.
The Company’s principal business is the design, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of portable hydration systems, water bottles, and tactical gloves. These products are primarily sold through retailers in the United States, Canada, and Europe and to various governmental agencies, primarily in the United States and Europe.
| (2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
| (a) | Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
| (b) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns; and the valuation of deferred tax assets and inventory, goodwill, and intangibles.
| (c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term interest-bearing investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
| (d) | Trade Accounts Receivable |
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the Company’s customers’ financial condition and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past-due balances over 60 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection

have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Write-offs for 2010 approximated $251,000. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
| (e) | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventory is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method and it includes direct material, labor costs, and manufacturing overhead. Provisions, when necessary, are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value.
| (f) | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to seven years. The Company recognizes gains or losses on disposals in other income. In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, the Company reviews long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
| (g) | Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Intangible assets with a limited life are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Certain intangible assets, trademarks, and goodwill, which have indefinite lives, are not amortized in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, but are reviewed annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. When conducting the annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit containing goodwill to its carrying amount. The estimated fair value of goodwill is computed using two approaches: the income approach, which is the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at a risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital; and the market approach, which is based on using market multiples of companies in similar lines of business. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be more than its carrying amount, no impairment is recognized. The estimated fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is computed using the income approach, following the relief from royalty method. If the fair value of the intangible is determined to be more than its carrying amount, no impairment is recognized.
| (h) | Financing Costs |
Financing costs related to the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related debt using the effective interest method, or the straight-line method if the result approximates the effective interest method.
| (i) | Revenue Recognition |
Revenue is recognized when title to goods and risk of loss pass to the customer, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is
| 6 | (Continued) |

fixed or determinable. The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns based on established return policies and historical experience. Amounts billed to customers for shipping charges are included in net sales and shipping costs incurred are included in cost of goods sold. The Company offers sales incentives to certain customers, such as purchase volume rebates, and participates in cooperative advertising programs. The majority of sales incentives are recorded as a reduction of sales. Some qualifying cooperative advertising expenses qualify under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 605-50, Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments and Incentives (FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)), and are recorded in operating expenses.
| (j) | Concentrations |
The Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 31% of net sales in 2010. Of the three largest customers, two individual customers accounted for 14% and 9% of net sales in 2010. Receivables from the three largest customers represented 16% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010.
| (k) | Warranty |
The Company recognizes a liability for estimated future warranty claims based on historical warranty claims experience and the expected future cost of warranty service.
| (l) | Advertising |
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred, including substantially all of the costs to produce advertising the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising expense recognized in 2010 was $634,000.
| (m) | Research and Development Costs |
Research and development costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses and totaled $2,197,000 for 2010.
| (n) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
For those financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the Company applies the concepts of FASB ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
| 7 | (Continued) |
CAMELBAK PRODUCTS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
The reported amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 2010 approximates book value, based on interest rates for debt with similar terms and maturities considering current credit markets and the Company’s credit risk.
| (o) | Income Taxes |
No provision for federal or state income taxes is necessary for the Company since results of operations are included in the tax returns of the member. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries are subject to local income taxes and taxes attributable to a limited liability company. Provisions for such taxes have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes – Overall, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
| (p) | Foreign Currency |
The Company uses an average of the reported daily foreign currency exchange rates to translate its foreign exchange denominated revenue. The Company uses one monthly spot foreign exchange rate to translate foreign exchange denominated expenses.
| (q) | Derivatives |
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires, among other things, that all derivatives be reported as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values. Changes in fair values are recognized in earnings. The Company’s derivative instruments comprise foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap options. The fair values of the foreign currency exchange contracts are determined using quoted market rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap options is determined using internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
| (r) | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (Issue No. 10-A). ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test under ASC Topic 350 for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to require an entity to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors, including the examples provided in ASC paragraph 350-20-35-30 in determining whether an interim goodwill impairment test between annual test dates is necessary. The ASU allows an entity to use either the equity or the enterprise

valuation premise to determine the carrying amount of a reporting unit. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 for a nonpublic company. The Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2010-28 in 2012 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
