INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS AUDIT REPORT
March 10, 2015
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
EnerPath International Holding Company
1758 Orange Tree Lane
Redlands, CA 92374
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of EnerPath International Holding Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. The prior year information is presented for comparative purposes only and has been derived from the Companys 2013 financial statements from our report dated March 14, 2014.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of EnerPath International Holding Company and subsidiary corporations, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and 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 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 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amount and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors 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 entitys 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 entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
9302 PITTSBURGH AVENUE, SUITE 200, RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA 91730 · 909 980-6050
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimate 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 EnerPath International Holding Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
1. Nature of Operations
EnerPath International Holding Company (EPIHC) and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, EnerPath Services, Inc. (ESI) and EnerPath, Inc. (EP) are presented as combined financial statements. All of the companies share common management, and general and administrative expenses with corporate offices in Redlands, California, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Rochester, New York, Nanuet, New Jersey and Knoxville, Tennessee. EPIHC is incorporated in Delaware.
EnerPath Services, Inc. provides energy efficiency (EE) upgrades through sponsored programs that reduce energy costs for commercial businesses and residential customers. ESI utilizes survey tools developed by EP to conduct energy efficiency surveys and identify opportunities for installation of EE equipment, retrofits and upgrades. Upon customer acceptance of recommendations, ESI then subcontracts energy equipment installation and manages all quality assurance of the project from beginning to end to assure accurate realization of energy savings and projected cost reductions for customers. ESI specializes in EE equipment and programs in the areas of lighting, lighting controls, HVAC, pumps & motors, refrigeration, water, gas and other EE improvements for utility companies, commercial, industrial, institutional, hospitality, government and retail markets throughout the United States. ESI is expanding its business in the public utility market place by developing and managing energy efficiency programs for business and residential customers. The two largest customers accounted for 43% and 38% of sales in 2014 and 59% and 27% of sales in 2013.
EnerPath, Inc. develops software and manages customized customer dashboards with a focus in the energy services and public utility market place. EP provides energy survey, subcontractor and quality verification tools to manage the entire work flow for ESI and other clients. EP licenses software which is oriented to all types of energy consuming assets found in buildings for both commercial and residential customers. It also provides a proven platform for public utilities to track many of their customer incentives and rebate programs, which currently includes a refrigerator recycling program. The largest customer accounted for 55% of sales in 2014 and 43% of sales in 2013.
2. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals 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.
3. Date of Managements Review
In preparing the financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through March 10, 2015, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Revenue and Cost Recognition
Costs of revenues earned include all direct material and subcontractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, repairs, and depreciation costs. Operating costs are charged to expense as incurred. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
B. Inventories
Inventories are reported at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
C. Property and Equipment
Depreciation and amortization is provided on the straight-line and declining-balance methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
D. Income Taxes
Accelerated and straight-line depreciation is used for tax reporting and financial statement reporting.
E. Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, the Company holds uncertain tax positions in the form of unrecognized tax benefits. Included in the accompanying Balance Sheets at December 31, 2014, are deferred tax assets of $935,993, representing tax loss and credit carry forwards. Realization of that asset is dependent on the Companys ability to generate future taxable income.
Management believes that it is more likely than not the forecasted taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the tax carry forward before their expiration to fully recover the asset. However, there can be no assurance that the company will meet its expectations of future income. As a result, the amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. Such an occurrence could materially adversely affect the Companys results of operations and financial condition.
