Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors
Color Resources, LLC


We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Color Resources, LLC (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in redeemable members' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and the fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

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 from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Color Resources, LLC as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matter Regarding Retrospective Adjustments

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, certain retrospective adjustments have been recorded to previously issued financial statements to classify members' equity (deficit) as redeemable members' equity (deficit) in accordance with the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X.

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

COLOR RESOURCES, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012

1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations - Color Resources, LLC (the "Company") is a toll manufacturer and custom processor of dyes, pigments and chemicals for use in a wide range of specialty chemical industries. The Company sells its products and services primarily to multinational dyestuff and colorant companies. Most of the Company's products are sold in the United States.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The bank balances, at times, exceed federal insured limits.

The Company has not experienced any losses to date on such accounts and management believes that there is very little risk of loss.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable is reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management's estimate of the amount of receivables that will actually be collected after analyzing the credit worthiness of its customers and historical experience, as well as the prevailing business and economic environment. Accounts are written off when significantly past due and after exhaustive efforts at collection. There was no allowance of doubtful accounts recorded at December 31, 2012, based upon management's assessment of collectability.

Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in first-out basis by using moving weighted average cost. The Company provides a reserve for obsolescence based upon a review of the inventory again and existing industry conditions. The reserve for obsolescence was approximately $126,000 as of December 31, 2012.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to fifteen years. Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease terms. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.

Deferred Financing Costs - Deferred financing costs are being amortized ratably over the life of the respective debt.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually. Management determined that goodwill and intangible assets were fully impaired after performing its most recent review. The amount of goodwill impairment recognized for GAAP purposes was approximately $3,845,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of each group of assets that generates cash flows, with the estimated present value of the corresponding cash flows. If the expected present value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. Management has reviewed the Company's long­ lived assets and believes that the intangible assets are fully impaired. The amount of intangible asset impairment recognized for GAAP purposes was approximately $2,111,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

COLOR RESOURCES, LLC Notes to Financial Statements, continued


Deferred Rent Payable - Deferred rent payable represents the excess of recognized rental expense over scheduled operating lease facility payments. This amount will be credited to future operations.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes service based revenue in the period services are performed under tolling arrangements. The Company recognizes revenue on dye, pigment, and chemical products upon delivery to the customer in accordance with shipping terms.

Shipping and Handling - Shipping and handling expenses, included in general and administrative expenses, were approximately $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2012, advertising expense was approximately $53,000.

Research and Development Costs - Research and development expenditures, which are expensed as incurred, totaled approximately $6,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Income Taxes - The Company is organized as a limited liability company and has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Company are reported on the individual tax returns of the members.

Although the Company's income or loss is taxed directly to the members, the effects of an uncertain tax position, if any, may have an impact on the tax return of the member. Therefore, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) require that any such effects be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination. As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The Company's income tax returns for the years 2010 through 2012 are subject to federal and state income tax examination by the authorities.

Retrospective Adjustments - Previously issued financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP treated members' equity (deficit) as equity, however, the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X requires that equity with redemption features outside of the control of the Company be classified as redeemable equity. Changes to the financial statements have been made to retrospectively reclassify members' equity (deficit) as redeemable members' equity (deficit) in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S-X.

COLOR RESOURCES, LLC Notes to Financial Statements, continued

(i)
In July 2008, the Company entered into a five-year loan and security agreement with a financial institution. The agreement provided for a three-year revolving line of credit of up to $1,000,000, and a five-year term loan of $8,250,000. On September 30, 2011, the Company entered into an initial forbearance agreement with the same financial institution due to the failure to pay certain monthly installments under the term loan arrangement. The agreement, which specified a forbearance period commencing on July 1, 2011 and ended on August 15, 2012, amended the loan and security agreement as follows:

1.
The revolving credit commitment expired, effective July 23, 2011. The outstanding balance is to be paid on the last day of the forbearance period. Interest is charged at the annual rate of 6% during the forbearance period. Any unpaid balance at the end of the forbearance period is subject to an annual interest rate equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rate plus 1% percent, or (ii) 6%.

If, at the end of the forbearance period, the Company is in compliance with all terms of the agreement, the revolving commitment will be automatically reinstated and be effective until July 24, 2013, whereupon any outstanding balance is to be repaid.

2.
    The outstanding term loan balance is to be repaid in installments, as follows:

Interest on the term loan is charged at the annual rate of 7%.

3.
The Company is required to make an additional cash investment of at least $500,000, as either a capital contribution or a subordinated loan.

4.
The forbearance agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, as defined. In addition, the Company is restricted from making payments related to member distributions, management and board fees and subordinated indebtedness.

5.
The members are required to pledge 100% of the voting capital stock to the financial institution, as collateral.
                 
The Company failed to meet the required covenants during 2012 and entered into another forbearance agreement with the same financial institution subsequent to year end. The agreement is more fully discussed in Note 11.     

(ii)
In June 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a finance company to purchase equipment. The note, which has a maturity date of June 2014, bears an annual interest rate of 9.1% and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $2,716.

Class A Common Units

Class A Common Units have full voting rights.

Beginning July 23, 2013 and for a two year period thereafter, the previous owners may petition the Company to redeem Class A Common Units held by them, upon written notice to the Company ("Put Notice"). The "Put Price" to redeem the Class A Common Units is the numerator which is the difference between (i) the sum of (A) the product of five multiplied by the Company's adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12-month period ending on such redemption date, and (ii) the sum of

11

COLOR RESOURCES, LLC Notes to Financial Statements, continued

(A) all indebtedness of the Company as of the redemption date, and (B) all amounts owed on accounts of the Series A Preferred units and accrued Preferred Dividends on the redemption date; and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Common Units outstanding.

Any redemption request that is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors is to be fulfilled within nine months of the delivery of the Put Notice to the Company. However, redemptions must also be approved by the lending institution. In the event of such a deferral the aggregate Put Price payable that is related to the redemption requested is to be accrued at an annual rate of 12%, compounded quarterly, for the period from nine months after delivery of the Put Notice until the related Class A Common Units are redeemed in full.

Class B Restricted Common Units

Class B Restricted Common Units have no voting rights and are reserved for issuance to managers, officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. Units are shown as issued when vested. Vesting is determined on an individual grant basis.

Series A Preferred Units

Series A Preferred Units have no voting rights and its holders are entitled to preferential distributions. Dividends accrue cumulatively at an annual rate of 8% of each $1,000 Series A Preferred Unit with interest compounding annually. Series A Preferred Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears, when as declared by the Board of Managers, on the last business day of March, June, September and December ("Dividend Payment Date"). In the event that Series A Preferred Dividends are not paid, in whole or in part on a Dividend Payment Date and for 10 days thereafter, the dividend rate shall increase to an annual rate of 10%, until the defaulted dividends are paid in full.
