TWEDDLE GROUP TECHNOLOGIES, LLC
Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements
March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012



(1)
Organization and Nature of Operations
Tweddle Group Technologies, LLC (TGT or the Business) was a majority owned business of a larger private company, Tweddle Group, Inc. (TG or Parent) until May 31, 2013, and did not operate as a stand‑alone company. The Business was established in 2009 to develop and provide a cloud-based connected services platform for vehicles through handset devices and interactive in‑vehicle displays.
TGT’s connected services platform offers automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 automotive suppliers a comprehensive and dynamic solution that supports multiple vehicle connection strategies (bluetooth, WiFi, and embedded cellular). The platform leverages an advanced database, access control and network solutions. The platform provides a mobile portal experience that couples personalized owner services with access and control of their vehicle. The application combines localized guides to restaurants, events, weather, and Internet radio with remote management of vehicle features like remote point of interest control and vehicle locator. In addition, vehicle owners can view their owner manuals and maintenance schedule, and browse merchandise and accessory offerings all from the screen of their smartphone.
(2)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared from Parent’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis to include the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows applicable to the Business. These unaudited condensed combined financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the Business had operated on a stand-alone basis during the period presented or the results that may be obtained in the future.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make assumptions as to which assets and liabilities carried on the Parent’s books should be included in the unaudited condensed combined financial statements, and which Parent activities benefit TGT. The combined results of operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to TGT, including an allocation of certain Parent costs for functions and services used by TGT. These amounts are reflected in the accompanying combined results of operations as “Allocation of general corporate and other expenses from parent”, and are primarily for treasury, sales, accounting, tax, and human resources services provided by the Parent (see note 8). Advances to and from the Parent related to the above transactions are settled through decreases from and increases to invested capital.
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim periods. In the opinion of management of the Business, these unaudited condensed combined financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Business’ financial position for the periods disclosed.
Although the Business believes the disclosures in the condensed combined financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in the footnotes prepared in accordance with GAAP has been omitted. Accordingly, these condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Business’ annual combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Related Party Transactions and Owners’ Net Investment
(a)
Allocation of General Corporate and Other Expenses
The unaudited condensed combined financial statements include allocations of costs to reflect certain corporate functions provided by the Parent, including allocations of costs relates to officer and certain corporate employee salaries, rent, depreciation, and accounting, legal, selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses have been allocated to the Business on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on headcount and other measures. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Business was allocated the following functional costs incurred by the Parent, which are included in the combined results of operations as follows:
 
 
Three months ended

General and administrative expenses
 
166,242
 
95,501
Total
$
412,806
$
233,726

The expense allocations have been determined on a basis that both the Business and the Parent consider to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Business during the period presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Business would have incurred as a stand‑alone company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Business had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organization structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.
