Independent Auditor's Report

To the Stockholders
CDR Manufacturing, Inc. & Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CDR Manufacturing, Inc. & Subsidiaries (Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, 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 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 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 from material misstatement.

An audit involves 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 consolidated financial statements.

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

Note A - Nature of Operations / Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CDR Manufacturing, Inc. (CDR), a Kentucky corporation, d/b/a Ayrshire Electronics, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CDR Holdings, LLC (CDR Holdings) and Ayrshire Electronics of Mississippi, LLC (AEM), both Kentucky limited liability companies. Additionally, CDR owns a 95% interest in Ayrshire Electronics of Arkansas, LLC (AEA), also a Kentucky limited liability company. The term Company, as used herein, refers to CDR and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively.

The Company manufactures printed circuit board assemblies, mechanical sub-assemblies, and complex final assemblies for various customers primarily located throughout the United States. CDR operates facilities in Harrodsburg, Kentucky and Oakdale, Minnesota, and operates a purchasing office in Taipei, Taiwan. The real estate of the Harrodsburg facility is owned by and represents the only activity of CDR Holdings.
  
AEM operates a facility in Corinth, Mississippi. AEA operates a facility in Fayetteville, Arkansas and, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ayrshire Electronics of Mexico, LLC (AEMEX), a Kentucky limited liability company, has maquiladora operations in McAllen, Texas and Reynosa, Mexico.

All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As limited liability companies, except as otherwise provided by Kentucky law, no member/partner, manager, employee, or agent of CDR Holdings, AEM, AEA, or AEMEX, shall be personally liable for the debts, obligations, or liabilities of the respective companies, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, or for the acts or omissions of any other member/partner, manager, employee, or agent of the respective companies.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.
Basis of Accounting: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as produced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP.

2.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting for Goodwill, which introduces an accounting alternative for private companies that simplifies and reduces the costs associated with the subsequent accounting for goodwill. It allows private companies to elect to amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over either 10 years or less than 10 years if a shorter useful life is more appropriate. Further, an entity that elects the alternative must also elect whether to test goodwill for impairment at the entity level or the reporting unit level.  This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, and has not early adopted for the December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements.



7



Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

4.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company periodically maintains cash in bank accounts in excess of federally insured levels.

5.
Accounts Receivable, net: The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business based on their credit worthiness and does not generally require collateral. Accounts receivable are recorded based on contracted amounts and are considered past due when payment is not received within the period allowed under the terms of the sale, which is generally thirty to sixty days.

Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $103,000 at December 31, 2013. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on general historical collection experience and a review of existing accounts receivable. The allowance represents an amount which, in management's judgment, will be adequate to absorb future losses on existing accounts receivable that may become uncollectible. The Company has credit insurance in certain circumstances which may help to protect the Company against certain levels of potential credit losses. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts, and for which it will not be fully reimbursed through its credit insurance, are written-off.

The Company has entered into an agreement with a financial services organization to sell certain accounts receivable without recourse. The aggregate gross amount sold under this arrangement was approximately $13,309,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The loss on these transactions, which represents the cost of selling such accounts receivable, is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of income as a reduction in sales. The cost of selling such accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $85,000. The loss on sale of these receivables represents the cost of financing for the number of days these receivables remain unpaid through their due date. The financing rate has ranged from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 2.25%. The Company sells its receivables under this arrangement to take advantage of low borrowing rates compared to its bank financing facilities (See Notes F and G).

6.
Inventories: Inventories, consisting of component parts and supplies (raw materials), work in process, and finished products, are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Work in process and finished products include both direct manufacturing costs and allocated overhead costs.

7.
Property and Equipment, net: Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets, which range from three to thirty-nine years. Depreciation expense totals approximately $1,404,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. The costs of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

8.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets: The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.

8



Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

9.
Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration given (purchase price paid) over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in connection with a business acquisition. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill is evaluated for potential impairment and is not amortized. The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or sooner, if deemed necessary.

Management applied the qualitative assessment for 2013 and as a result of its qualitative analysis determined that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of its reporting unit was greater than the carrying amounts.

10.
Other Non-current Assets: Included in other non-current assets are the following:

 
 
2013
Life settlement contracts
 
$
511,571

Deferred loan costs, net of accumulated amortization of $40,980
 
50,267

Other
 
42,369

 
 
$
604,207


As of December 31, 2012, the investment in life settlement contracts was for two such arrangements that insured the Company's majority shareholder and his spouse. The death benefits (under the two policies) totaled $3,500,000.

During 2013, the majority shareholder of the Company passed away. Pursuant to one of the life settlement contracts, the Company received approximately $507,000 in death benefits. The Company recognized a gain from insurance proceeds of approximately $494,000 during 2013.

The total future annual premium payments under the second life settlement contract for 2014 through 2017 are expected to approximate $23,000 per year.

As permitted under GAAP, the Company has elected to account for the life settlement contracts under the investment method. Under this method, the initial investment, plus all initial direct external and subsequent continuing costs (the premiums) to keep the policy in force are capitalized. Upon the death of the insured, a gain is recognized in earnings for the difference between the net death benefit (the life insurance proceeds) and the carrying amount of the contract (the investment). Cash flows with respect to the Company's investment in the life settlement contracts are accounted for within cash flows from operating activities attributable to the change in other non-current assets.

The unamortized deferred loan costs relate to the Company's bank loans discussed in Notes F and G. Costs of $58,561 associated with the 2011 financing were paid and such costs are being amortized over the five year term of the related 2011 financing. During 2012, the Company amended its 2011 financing with costs of $32,686 paid and included in deferred loan costs. Amortization expense for 2013 totals $22,341. Future amortization expense for 2014 through 2016 is as follows: $22,341, $22,341, and $5,585.

9



Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

11.
Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment.

12.
Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company reports shipping and handling costs charged to customers within net sales. The shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of sales.

13.
Income Taxes: CDR is taxed as a corporation. CDR Holdings and AEM are considered single-member limited liability companies for federal, state, and local tax reporting purposes and are therefore treated as disregarded entities. Accordingly, the operations of CDR Holdings and AEM are combined with those of CDR for tax reporting purposes. AEA is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. As a result, AEA does not pay federal income taxes on its taxable income. In lieu of corporate federal income taxes, AEA's partners are taxed on their respective shares of AEA earnings.

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements as adjusted for the permanent differences between reported financial and taxable income. Deferred taxes are recorded for the temporary differences in basis for assets and liabilities between financial reporting and income tax purposes.

The ASC describes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. These standards require recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a "more-likely-than-not" approach. The Company has determined that no significant adjustment for income tax uncertainties or unrecognized tax benefits is required.

As a policy, the Company classifies interest and penalties with respect to material uncertain income tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements (when applicable) as interest expense and as a selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal and State income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2010.

14.
Subsequent Events: Subsequent events for the Company have been considered through the date of the Independent Auditor's Report, which represents the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Note C - Concentrations

For the year ended December 31, 2013, sales to one customer approximates 10% of total sales (no other individual customer exceeds 10%). At December 31, 2013, accounts receivable due from three customers represents approximately 33% of net accounts receivable as of year-end (no other individual customer exceeds 10%).

Note F - Line of Credit
    
In March 2011, the Company refinanced its revolver loans, as well as certain of its long-term debt obligations (see Note G) with a new lender (2011 financing). The 2011 financing, obtained by CDR, AEA, and AEM, collectively the borrowers, provided for a revolving line of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $22,500,000 (working capital line), as well as a $4,200,000 term loan (equipment term loan), a $250,000 term loan (real estate term loan), and a second revolving line of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 to finance purchases of equipment (capital expenditure line). In November 2011, the Company amended the 2011 financing whereby it has the ability, pursuant to certain conditions, to increase the working capital line up to a maximum amount of $27,500,000 through March 31, 2016.

In October 2012, the Company amended the 2011 financing (the 2012 amendment) whereby it has the ability, pursuant to certain conditions, to increase the working capital line up to a maximum amount of $30,000,000 through March 31, 2016. In addition, the 2012 amendment provides for another revolving line of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 to finance purchases of equipment (second capital expenditure line). The 2012 amendment also provides for another real estate term loan up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 to purchase a new facility (second real estate term loan), which has not been drawn upon at December 31, 2013.

11



Note F - Line of Credit (Continued)

Borrowings under the working capital line are subject to a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventories (as defined). The outstanding principal amount under the working capital line together with the unpaid interest accrued thereon will be due at maturity (March 31, 2016). The working capital line will bear interest at the 3-month LIBOR Rate plus 2.50% (resulting in an interest rate of 2.75% at December 31, 2013), which is payable monthly. The working capital line agreement includes a lockbox arrangement whereby remittances from customers are applied against the borrowings outstanding under the working capital line. Additionally, the line of credit agreement also contains a subjective acceleration clause which would permit an acceleration of the repayment of the working capital line. Accordingly, under GAAP, the total amount outstanding under the working capital line of credit, $13,856,574, is classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.

The amounts outstanding under the lines of credit described above, like the term loans, are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, as well as the guarantee of AEMEX.

The amount outstanding under the capital expenditure line will be payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, with the outstanding principal amount together with the unpaid interest accrued thereon due at maturity (March 31, 2016).  The Company's obligation to pay an advance on the capital expenditure line will be evidenced by an installment promissory note. The capital expenditure line bears interest at the 3-month LIBOR Rate plus 2.75% (resulting in an interest rate of 2.99% at December 31, 2013). The total amount outstanding under the capital expenditure line is $469,637 at December 31, 2013.

The amount outstanding under the second capital expenditure line will be payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, with the outstanding principal amount together with the unpaid interest accrued thereon due at maturity (March 31, 2016).  The Company's obligation to pay an advance on the second capital expenditure line will be evidenced by an installment promissory note. The second capital expenditure line bears interest at the 3-month LIBOR Rate plus 2.75% (resulting in an interest rate of 2.99% at December 31, 2013). The total amount outstanding under the second capital expenditure line is $926,336 at December 31, 2013.

The working capital line is subject to certain financial covenants including minimum net income, fixed charge coverage ratio, and maximum annual capital expenditures, as defined (see also Note G with respect to the same financial covenants being attributable to certain long-term debt obligations). The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2013.


12



Note G - Long-term Debt

At December 31, 2013 the Company's long-term debt obligations consist of the following:
Capital expenditure line (Note F) bearing interest at the 3-month LIBOR Rate plus 2.75%, resulting in an interest rate of 2.99% at December 31, 2013, collateralized by substantially all of the Company's equipment, monthly payment of $11,741 plus interest through March 2016.
 
$
469,637

 
 
 
Second capital expenditure line (Note F) bearing interest at the 3-month LIBOR Rate plus 2.75%, resulting in an interest rate of 2.99% at December 31, 2013, collateralized by substantially all of the Company's equipment, monthly payment of $18,276 plus interest through March 2016.
 
926,336

 
 
 
Equipment term loan (Note F) bearing interest at the 3-month LIBOR Rate plus 2.75%, resulting in an interest rate of 2.99% at December 31, 2013, collateralized by substantially all of the Company's equipment and secured by a mortgage with respect to the Fayetteville, Arkansas property, monthly payment of $70,000 plus interest through March 2016.
 
1,960,000

 
 
 
Real estate term loan (Note F) bearing interest at the 3-month LIBOR Rate plus 2.50% resulting in an interest rate of 2.74% at December 31, 2013, collateralized by a mortgage with respect to the Fayetteville, Arkansas property, monthly payment of $4,167 plus interest through March 2016.

Note G - Long-term Debt (Continued)

The equipment term loan and real estate term loan contain financial covenants. See Note F with respect to the financial covenants (the same such covenants that are attributable to the working capital line of credit). The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2013.

Additionally, under an agreement with its bank, the Company may have up to $1,000,000 of letters of credit drawn at one time. There is a fee of 3% on the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit issued. There was $311,886 under letters of credit drawn at December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2013, the aggregate maturities required on the long-term debt obligations are as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company's effective tax rate differs from its statutory tax rate principally because of the effect of permanent differences, including the domestic production activities deduction, non-taxable life insurance proceeds and non-deductible meals and entertainment expenses.

During the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings.
