INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of SWH, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SWH, Inc. and Subsidiary (a North Dakota Corporation) as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes 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 SWH, Inc. and Subsidiary 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.

SWH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010
 
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of operations – SWH, Inc. (the Company), through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Sun Well Service, Inc. (the Subsidiary), provides a variety of services to the oil and gas industry. These services include: well servicing and workover, completion services, plug and abandonment services, hydrostatic tubing testing, as well as rentals of various types of well servicing equipment. The Company’s operations are primarily concentrated in the Williston basin in North Dakota and eastern Montana.

Ownership – The Company was formed and acquired the Subsidiary in October 2008.

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition – The Company's well servicing and workover services are generally short term in nature and revenue is recognized upon completion of each service.

Cash equivalents - Cash equivalents include time deposits, money market mutual funds, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Trade receivables - Trade receivables are carried at original invoice. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. Interest is not charged on past due receivables. As of December 31, 2010, management believes its receivables are substantially all collectable and therefore has not provided for an allowance for uncollectability.

Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Prepaid expenses - Prepaid expenses include items such as insurance and other miscellaneous items. The prepaid expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the period they benefit.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation using straight-line methods. The estimated lives used to compute depreciation are as follows:

 
Equipment 
2 - 15 years
 
Vehicles 
4 years
 
Office equipment
5 years

Intangible assets - Intangible assets consist of loan fees and goodwill. Loan fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired through acquisition. In accordance with professional standards, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but evaluates the goodwill on an annual basis for potential impairment. Professional standards require the Company to test goodwill for impairment.

Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Accrued compensated absences - Compensated absences are accrued and charged to expense in the period in which it is earned.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 (Continued)

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.

Sales Taxes - The Company presents its revenues net of any sales taxes collected from its customers that are required to be remitted to local or state governmental taxing authorities.

Variable Interest Entities  The Company consolidates all variable interest entities in which it holds a variable interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with at least one of the following conditions:  (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to allow the entity to finance it activities without additional subordinated financial support or (b) the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack any one of the following three characteristics:  (i) the power to direct the entity’s activities that most significantly impact its economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is an entity that has a variable interest or a combination of variable interests that provide the entity with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. An entity is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has determined that it does not have interests in VIE’s that require consolidation.

Share-Based Compensation  The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with professional standards. The Company records share-based compensation as a component of general and administrative expense.

Income Taxes - The Subsidiary is included in the Company’s consolidated income tax returns.

Certain items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for financial reporting purposes than for purposes of computing income taxes currently payable. The income tax effects of transactions are recognized for financial reporting purposes in the year in which they enter into the determination of reported income, regardless of when they are recognized for income tax purposes. Accordingly, applicable deferred income taxes relate to these timing differences. The timing differences relate primarily to differences in the depreciable/amortizable costs associated with its property and equipment, accrued assets and accrued liabilities, and a net operating loss carryforward. Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach as prescribed in the professional standards.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Company is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

NOTE 2 - OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

The Company has cash deposits at financial institutions which periodically exceed the FDIC insurance coverage limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes that its cash is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Professional standards require the Company to test goodwill for impairment.  There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill due to impairment for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 5 – CAPITAL LEASES AND LONG TERM DEBT

To facilitate the funding of the Company’s acquisition of the Subsidiary’s stock in October of 2008, the Subsidiary sold substantially all its capital assets for $13,500,000. The Subsidiary subsequently entered into an agreement with an independent financing institution, NewStar Financial, Inc. (NewStar), to lease the same assets. The lease is classified as a capital lease and as such, the gain generated from the sale (approximately $454,000) was deferred and is recognized into income over the estimated lives of the leased assets. The total gain recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $30,323.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision reported in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes the following components:

Current income tax expense
  $ 1,915,722  
Deferred income tax expense
    569,000  
    $ 2,484,722  

The source of the timing differences resulting in deferred income tax are primarily associated with different tax and financial accounting policies associated with the Company's property and equipment, accrued assets and accrued liabilities, and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred income tax balances as of December 31, 2010 are categorized as follows:

Deferred tax assets
  $  
Deferred tax liabilities
    (5,019,000 )
    $ (5,019,000 )

Net deferred income taxes are classified as follows:

Current asset
  $  
Current liability
    (28,000 )
Long-term liability
    (4,991,000 )
    $ (5,019,000 )

The Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $594,000 as of December 31, 2009.  This loss was used to offset a portion of the Company’s taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 13 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

In 2010, the Company established a deferred compensation plan to provide certain key employees with cash retention awards. The Company has accrued $315,000 as of December 31, 2010 for vested benefits due to employees under this plan.

NOTE 14 – PHANTOM SHARE PLAN

Prior to 2010, the Company had implemented a phantom share plan, in which a certain employee was granted phantom shares. The phantom shares vested at specified levels over a ten-year period and conveyed the right to the grantee to receive a cash payment based on a liquidity event as defined under the plan. The value of the cash payment ranged from the terminal value, as defined in the plan, up to 3% of the equity value of the Company. The phantom shares were a “liability” type award under professional standards. As of December 31, 2009, the employee was no longer employed by the Company and as of that date, the Company had accrued $115,000 for its estimated obligation under the plan.

During 2010, the Company paid the employee a total of $150,000, which constituted the entire balance due to the employee under the plan. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had terminated this phantom share plan.

The phantom shares are a “liability” type award under professional standards.
