Jersey City, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Newport Telecommunications Co. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006 and the related statement of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

| | | |
1. | Organization and Nature of Business | | Newport Telecommunications Co. (the “Company”), is a general partnership formed on January 15, 1986 owned by Newport Associates Development Co. (“Newport Assoc.”) and Newport Telecommunications, Inc. (“Telecommunications, Inc.”) organized in the state of New Jersey. Both Newport Assoc. and Telecommunications, Inc. are owned through various entities by Newport Associates Development Company (“NADC”). The Company provides telephone and internet services primarily to residential and small business customers located in section of Jersey City, New Jersey known as Newport. |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | | Revenue Recognition Revenues consist of telephone and internet service revenues and customer equipment revenues. Revenues are derived from tenants of buildings controlled by affiliates of the Company or other affiliated entities. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB104”), which superceded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. The Company accounts for revenue, costs and expense related to residential cable services (including video, voice, data and other services) as the related services are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 51, “Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies.” Installation revenue for residential cable services is recognized to the extent of direct selling costs incurred. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are delinquent. |

| | | Credit Risk Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company’s accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to credit risk, as collateral is generally not required. The Company’s risk of loss is limited due to advance billings to customers for services and the ability to terminate access on delinquent accounts. The potential for material credit loss is mitigated by the number of customers with relatively small receivable balances. The carrying amounts of the Company’s receivables approximate their fair values. |
| | | |
| | | Partners’ Compensation/Distributions Partners received no distributions, guaranteed payments or other salaries or compensation during the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007. |
| | | |
| | | Depreciation |
| | | |
| | | Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, principally five to seven years for building improvements and five to ten years for equipment. |
| | | |
| | | Long-Lived Assets |
| | | |
| | | Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the recoverability of real estate investments are evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the equipment may not be recoverable. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of a property, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the property’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized. Through June 30, 2007, no impairment losses have been recorded. |

| | | Contingencies: Comcast of Jersey City LLC has petitioned the City of Jersey City Board of Public Utilities (“BPU”) for access to certain buildings that currently receive telephone and internet services from the Company. In prior years, BPU has adopted decisions granting such access to various buildings served by the Company. NADC has appealed these decisions, however, Comcast has been a second supplier of internet service in certain buildings since 2003. In March 2007, BPU in two separate decisions, granted Comast access to two additional buildings know as Pacific and Abraham Lincoln. |
| | | |
| | | The owners of other buildings served by the Company have received written requests from Comcast for access to said buildings to construct and install facilities to serve the residents therein. The Company is subject of other litigation in the normal course of business. Management does not believe these matters will have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations. |

The total consideration will be increased or decreased depending on the number of subscriber accounts acquired in the Acquisition that were in good standing at that time.
