REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders
Liquid Blaino Designs, Inc. dba Junkfood Clothing
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Liquid Blaino Designs, Inc. dba Junkfood Clothing (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of income and retained earnings, 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 on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that 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 Liquid Blaino Designs, Inc. dba Junkfood Clothing as of December 31, 2004, 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.

NOTE 1 — Business Activity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been applied consistently in all materials respects. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Activity
Liquid Blaino Designs, Inc. dba Junkfood Clothing (the Company) is engaged principally in the contract printing and wholesale distribution of T-shirts, and its customers consist primarily of apparel retailers and wholesalers throughout the United States.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to customers in the apparel industry. The Company and its factor perform ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred. Improvements and major replacements are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or, for leasehold improvements, over the terms of the related leases, if shorter. The useful lives range from three to ten years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company tests its investment in long-lived assets, including property, equipment, leasehold improvements, capital leases, long-term prepaid assets and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the net carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Advertising Costs
The Company charges all advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $30,486.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are part of inventory cost and are recorded in cost of sales but the amounts are not determinable. Shipping and handling costs associated with freight out to customers are included in operating expenses and totaled $240,687 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in net sales and totaled $76,114 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Income Taxes
No provision for federal income taxes has been provided as the Company’s stockholders have elected to be taxed as an S-Corporation. Accordingly, all taxable earnings of the Company are taxed to the individual stockholders and the Company incurs only a minimum state franchise tax liability. The provision for income taxes is primarily current.
NOTE 2 — Due from Factor
The Company sells a portion of its accounts receivable to a factor under a continuing contract, cancelable upon written notice. In cases where the factor approves the credit, the account is sold without recourse and the factor assumes all credit risk. As of December 31, 2004, factored receivables for which the Company was at risk were nominal. The Company is contingently liable to the factor for merchandise disputes, customer claims and other chargebacks on receivables sold to the factor. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are collateral for factor advances.
