INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Members

UEC Electronics, LLC

Hanahan, South Carolina

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of UEC Electronics, LLC, and Subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, members' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 from material misstatement.

An audit includes performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

UEC Electronics, LLC (“the Company”) is an ISO 9001:2008 and AS 9100C certified company that manufactures, sells, installs and services engineered products for regional and national customers. The Company was formed in South Carolina and is licensed to do business, primarily performing engineering services, in several states. The Company’s customers include entrepreneurs, military contractors, heavy-duty automotive OEM’s, production plants and industrial equipment providers. UEC Properties, LLC "Properties" owns property leased by the Company.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company, UEC Electronics, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary UEC Properties, LLC. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses for all entities.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

During 2012, the company changed its process of estimating revenue from the units-of-delivery method, which accumulated costs incurred but not yet billable in work-in-process inventory, to the percentage-of-completion method using cost-to-cost because criteria for use of the percentage-of-completion method were met in 2012. The effect of this change on current year net income is unknown.

The Company records net sales and estimated profits for its major contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. For contracts that require the Company to perform a significant level of development effort in comparison to the total value of the contract and/or to deliver minimal quantities, sales are recorded using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress toward completion. Under the cost-to-cost method of accounting, the Company recognizes sales and an estimated profit as costs are incurred based on the proportion that the incurred costs bear to total estimated costs.

Accounting for contracts using the percentage-of-completion method requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract sales and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the scope and nature of the work required to be performed on many of our contracts, the estimation of total sales and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables and, accordingly, is subject to change. When adjustments in estimated contract sales or estimated costs at completion are required, any changes from prior estimates are recognized in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of such changes. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of sales to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are applied in determining the percentage complete for work in process, valuation of inventories, warranty liabilities, depreciation and allowance for doubtful accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include money market funds and mutual funds with short-term maturities.

Accounts Receivable

Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from customers, and unbilled costs and accrued profits primarily related to sales on long-term contracts that have been recognized but not yet billed to customers. All unbilled receivables are expected to be collected within one year.

Accounts receivable are stated at the net realizable value. The Company’s experience indicates that no allowance for estimated future losses from doubtful accounts that arise during the normal course of business is needed and results of direct write offs would not be materially different from use of an allowance account.

Accounts Receivable – Other

Accounts receivable – other is comprised of South Carolina job development credits, which are refunds of South Carolina payroll withholding taxes.

Investments

The Company classifies all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 all of the Company’s investments in marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale, and as a result, were reported at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in member’s equity until realized. The Company follows its investment managers’ methods of determining the cost in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of its available-for-sale securities, which includes both the specific identification and average cost methods. Realized gains and losses are included in other income.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investments (continued)

The Company maintains its investments with a reputable brokerage firm which at times during the year may exceed amounts covered under insurance provided by the U.S. Securities Investment Protection Corporation (SIPC). The Company believes there is no significant risk related to these investments other than normal market fluctuations.

Inventories

The Company’s finished goods, raw materials and supplies are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. Inventories include work-in-process on items being constructed for customers. The costs of direct labor, direct expenses and other costs are applied to finished goods and work-in-process inventories.

Inventory consisted of the following as of December 31,:

	2013			2012
Raw materials and supplies	$	833,846		$	1,229,045
Work-in-process		156,374			77,013
Finished goods		121,569			234,686
Inventory, gross		1,111,789			1,540,744
Less: inventory reserve		(549,767	)		(991,316	)
Inventory, net	$	562,022		$	549,428

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is being depreciated over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges that do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to operations as incurred.

Estimated useful lives of the various categories of property and equipment including equipment under capital lease obligations are as follows:

Buildings	40 years
Machinery and equipment	3 to 15 years
Furniture and office equipment	5 to 15 years
Vehicles	3 to 7 years
Computers and peripherals	2 to 10 years
Aircraft	10 years

Loan Costs

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing through the bank have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective financing arrangements.

Future amortization expense for intangible assets owned at December 31, 2013, is as follows:

Year Ending December 31,
2014	$	3,588
2015		3,588
2016		3,588
2017		3,588
2018		3,588
Thereafter		1,800
	$	19,740

Amortization expense was $3,588 and $10,955 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Advertising Costs

The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Freight billed to customers is considered sales revenue and related freight out is classified as a cost of sales.

Income Taxes

The members have elected under the Internal Revenue Code for the Company to be taxed as a Subchapter S Corporation. As such, the Company will not pay any federal or state income tax on normal operations. The Members will pay income taxes on the profits from normal operations of the Company. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is presented in the accompanying financial statement.

The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Company’s open audit periods are 2008-2012. In evaluating the Company’s tax provisions and accruals, future taxable income, and the reversal of temporary differences, interpretations, and tax planning strategies are considered. The Company believes their estimates are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances.

Note 6 – Line of Credit

In August of 2011, the Company entered into a revolving line-of-credit agreement with a bank that provides for borrowings up to $5,000,000 limited by a borrowing base calculation based on receivables. The line is collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company. Interest on the unpaid balance will accrue at the one- month LIBOR rate plus 1.90% (2.10% as of December 31, 2013). The line had an outstanding balance of

$102,800 at December 31, 2013 and $44,583 at December 31, 2012. The line of credit also contains certain financial covenants and restrictions, including requirements that the Company maintain specified leverage ratios and net worth amounts.

Note 8 – Interest Rate Swap Agreement

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on May 2, 2009 that effectively fixed the interest rate on the outstanding principal of the corresponding term note (See Note 7 – Long-Term Debt). Under the swap contract, the Company pays interest at 4.86% and receives interest at the one-month LIBOR plus 1.70%, (1.90% at December 31, 2013). The Company paid off this swap agreement during the year ended December 31, 2012 as part of the term note refinancing mentioned in Note 7. The Company paid $121,302 of interest expense to exit the swap agreement.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on June 17, 2012 that effectively fixed the interest rate on the outstanding principal of the corresponding term note (See Note 7 – Long-Term Debt). Under the swap contract, the Company pays interest at 3.35% and receives interest at the one-month LIBOR plus 1.70%, (1.90% at December 31, 2013). The notional amount under the swap decreases as principal payments are made on the note. The notional amount of the contract was approximately $2,460,000 at December 31, 2013.

The Company’s purpose in entering into this swap arrangement was to hedge the risk of interest rate changes on related variable rate debt. The Company has decided not to elect hedge accounting for this contract. Accordingly, all of the change in fair value of the swap contract will be reported in current earnings. The Company has no intentions of exiting the contract prior to its expiration; therefore the entire fair value is classified as long-term debt.

The net effect of these contracts increased interest expense by approximately $35,000 and $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The overall impact of fluctuations in the fair values of the swap arrangements is as follows for the year ended December 31,:

		2013				2012
Effects of unrealized fluctuations in fair value (expense)		$	27,641			$	20,061

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and long-term debt. The Company’s management believes that the recorded values approximate fair values.

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income, or cost approach are used to measure fair value.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad categories:

Level 1 – These are generally quoted prices, the Company has the ability to access, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – These are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – These are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The estimated fair value of the Company's interest rate swap is obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, plus accrued principal and/or interest to the extent not included therein. The interest rate swap is recorded as a recurring Level 2.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
