INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors

Gel Industries, Inc.

DBA Quality Aluminum Forge, Inc.

Orange, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Gel Industries, Inc. DBA Quality Aluminum Forge, Inc. (a California S corporation) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, 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 audits.

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 provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010

 

NOTE A: Nature Of Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (1) Nature of Business-Gel Industries, Inc. DBA Quality Aluminum Forge, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of California in November 2004 and is engaged in the business of aluminum forging, aerospace machining, and manufacturing precision aluminum parts for the aerospace industry, primarily for customers in the United States of America.

 

  (2) Principles of Accounting-The Company’s financial records are kept on the accrual basis, which is the same method used for income tax purposes.

 

  (3) Cash and Cash Equivalents-For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

  (4) Accounts Receivable-Accounts receivable consists of trade accounts arising in the normal course of business. The Company sells its products primarily on net 30 to 90 day terms. Accounts for which no payments have been received for approximately 50 days are considered delinquent and customary collection efforts are initiated. Uncollectible accounts are written-off when a customer files bankruptcy or after all attempts at collections have been pursued. The Company uses the direct write-off method to account for bad debts, which does not result in amounts that differ materially from the allowance method required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

  (5) Inventories-Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

 

  (6) Property and Equipment-Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods for financial purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $226,019.

 

  (7) Long-Lived Assets-The Company accounts for impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” FASB ASC 360-10 requires impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount. There was no impairment of the value of such assets for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE A: Nature Of Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)

 

  (8) Intangible Asset-During the acquisition of the Company in December 2004, the Company incurred various legal expenses that were capitalized as acquisition costs. These acquisition costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years. Amortization of intangibles charged to operations for 2010 was $4,000.

 

  (9) Employee Share-Based Compensation Plan-The Company accounts for the employee share-based compensation plan in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Under FASB ASC 718-10, the Company is required to recognize as compensation cost, all share-based payments to employees based on their fair values. For the year ended December 31, 2010 total compensation cost recognized was $52,000. (Note H)

 

  (10) Income Taxes-The Company has elected by consent of its shareholders to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the IRC effective November 17, 2004. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income and is not allowed a net operating loss carry over or carry back as a deduction. Instead, the shareholders are liable for individual income taxes on their respective share of the Company’s taxable income.

California has conformed to the federal law which allows domestic corporations to be taxed under similar provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. However, unlike the federal provision, a 1.5 percent tax on the net income of the Company is still maintained for California purposes. The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $41,416. At December 31, 2010, income tax payable was $1,488 and is included in the income taxes payable in the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. The Company is required to make subjective assumptions and judgments regarding its income tax exposures. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the balance sheets and statements of operations.

NOTE A: Nature of Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)

 

  (10) Income Taxes – (Continued)

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to all tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. No interest or penalties were accrued as of December 31, 2010. The 2007 to 2010 tax years are open to review for federal tax purposes and the 2006 to 2010 tax years are open to review for state income tax purposes.

 

  (11) Revenue Recognition-The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment of the product and passage of title.

 

  (12) Use Of Estimates-The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

 

  (13) Shipping Costs-Shipping and delivery costs are charged to operations as incurred and are included in cost of sales in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

NOTE B: Concentrations-The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution. At December 31, 2010, accounts at the institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 for interest bearing accounts and unlimited insurance for non-interest bearing accounts. The cash balance at the institution in excess of federally insured limits at December 31, 2010 totaled $2,809,145.

There are several rental clauses associated with four of these operating agreements, which include the restoration of the facilities to its original state with the exception of ordinary wear and tear, the removal of manufacturing equipment and storage tanks, and clean-up of hazardous substances. As of December 31, 2010, no such accruals were necessary. (Note I (3))

 

  (3) Environmental Matters-The operations of the Company, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations intended to protect the public health and the environment, including regulations related to air and water quality and hazardous waste handling and disposal. As of December 31, 2008, the Company voluntarily obtained a Phase-I Environmental Study of its manufacturing facilities to identify any recognized environmental conditions on or near their facilities. As of December 31, 2009, the Company voluntarily obtained a Phase–II Environmental Study (Phase-II Study) of its manufacturing facilities located in Orange, California, to determine any potential presence of contaminants resulting from the use or storage of hazardous materials at their facilities.
