Independent Auditor’s Report

Board of Directors

Battenfeld Acquisition Company Inc.

Columbia, Missouri

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Battenfeld Acquisition Company Inc. and its subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s 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 consolidated 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 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 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.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Battenfeld Acquisition Company Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1:

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Battenfeld Acquisition Company Inc. (Company) was formed on May 24, 2012 for the purpose of effecting the acquisition of Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clearview Battenfeld Acquisition Company, LLC (Parent). Effective June 8, 2012 (Acquisition Date), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. The acquisition was led by the Parent’s primary investor, Clearview Capital, LLC and affiliates (Clearview).

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary are located in Columbia, Missouri. The Company designs, manufactures and sells shooting supplies and accessories under several branded names. Sales are made to retailers, distributors and dealers of these products throughout the United States and Canada.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

At December 31, 2013, cash consisted primarily of deposit accounts with banks. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $1,159,000.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount owed by customers. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Accounts past due more than 30 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of purchased components, material in transit and prepaid inventory, and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Assets under capital lease obligations and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Annual depreciation is primarily computed using the straight-line depreciation method.

Goodwill

Goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. A qualitative assessment is performed to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not the fair value is less than the carrying amount of goodwill. If, based on the evaluation, it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value, then goodwill is tested further for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company has other intangible assets including trademarks, noncompete agreements, customer relationships, patents and other intangibles. Amortization for these items is computed using the straight-line method with lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying values.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized when products are shipped to customers.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records charges for shipping and handling costs billed to customers as sales and records costs incurred by the Company as costs of goods sold.

Customer Incentives and Rebates

The Company provides various sales incentive programs to customers including volume rebates and payment discounts. The Company charges revenue for the amount of incentives and rebates allowed and accrues the amount based on customer sales, historic experience and the specific terms of the agreements. As of December 31, 2013, $280,440 was accrued for customer incentives and rebates with an additional $80,000 accrued at December 31, 2013 as part of the Company’s trade receivables reserve.

Foreign Assets

The Company sources products from various vendors in China to be manufactured. In conjunction with the sourcing, the Company provides product tooling to the vendors. At December 31, 2013, the tooling held at vendors in China totaled $948,672, net of accumulated depreciation.

Deferred Finance Costs

Deferred finance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s credit facilities are capitalized and amortized over the term of the respective agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred $60,000 in financing costs related to debt agreements.

Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet on a net basis.

Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities of the subsidiary. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the benefit or expense of an uncertain tax position in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, after considering if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that a tax position will be realized and sustained upon examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest amount expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no material uncertain tax positions. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.

 

Note 2:

Business Combinations

Effective May 8, 2013, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Buenger Enterprises to acquire the assets of its Goldenrod Dehumidifiers (“Goldenrod”) division for total consideration of approximately $395,000. The Company purchased Goldenrod as part of the overall investment strategy of its investor group, which considered several factors including industry growth and niche market presence.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. The consideration paid for the goodwill was primarily attributable to the expected future cash flows and growth of the business. All goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarizes the consideration paid in addition to the assets acquired at the transaction date.

Cash paid to shareholders and representatives		$	395,222

Concentrations and Contingencies

General Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of its operations and cash flows of the Company.

Major Customers

Sales to three major customers (defined as a customer that provides in excess of 10% of total revenue) approximated 36% of total sales during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Major Suppliers

Purchases from two major suppliers (defined as a vendor that provides in excess of 10% of total purchases) approximated 39% of total purchases during the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Note 11:

Incentive Option Plan

The Incentive Option Plan (the Plan) permits the grant of incentive unit options to its employees for up to 2,417,500 membership units of the Parent. The Company believes that such incentive unit awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its membership unit-holders and may be granted by the Board of Directors to any employee of the Company. As a result, the Parent has pushed down the related accounting and disclosure for the option plan to the Company financial statements. Incentive option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the Parent’s membership units at the date of the service inception period, which generally is the grant date. Incentive unit awards vest over a period of five years and have a ten year term to exercise before expiration. The Plan provides for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan).

The fair value of each incentive unit award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the Dow Jones Industrial Indices for similar companies within the industry and other factors. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

		2013
Expected volatility			15.8	%
Expected dividends			—
Expected term (in years)			5
Risk-free rate			0.65	%

Total compensation cost was not material for 2013 for the unit-based payment arrangements.

A summary of option activity under the Plan at December 31, 2013, and changes during the year then ended, is presented below:
