Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors
iCurie Lab Holdings Limited
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of iCurie Lab Holdings Limited as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity (deficit) 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 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. 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 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iCurie Lab Holdings Limited at December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in note 1, at December 31, 2004 the Company and its subsidiary had not yet commenced revenue producing operations and had a working capital deficit of $262,232 and an accumulated deficit of $6,468,111. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in note 1.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies
Organization
iCurie Lab Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in the United Kingdom on March 16, 2004, with the principal activity being the acquisition of intellectual property for the purpose of commercial exploitation.
Simultaneously with the formation of the Company in March 2004, the Company obtained various debt and equity financing and used some of the proceeds to purchase an 80.2% interest in iCurie Lab Inc. (Subsidiary) for $110,643 in cash. A majority of the shareholders in the Company were also shareholders of the Subsidiary prior to the March acquisition. The acquisition has been treated for financial reporting purposes as a recapitalization of the Subsidiary, and accordingly the accompanying financial statements reflect the historical accumulated deficit of the Subsidiary through December 31, 2003 and the combined operations of both the Company and the Subsidiary for the entire 2004 year.
The remaining 19.8% of the Subsidiary is owned by individual investors based in South Korea. The Subsidiary was incorporated in June 13, 2000 under the Commercial Code of South Korea to engage in the research and development, manufacture, and sale of micro cooling systems using electronic technology.
During 2004, the intellectual property for the micro cooling system was transferred from the Subsidiary to the Company.
Through December 31, 2004, the operations of the Company and its Subsidiary has been limited to the development and certification of intellectual property to be used in the production and commercialization of micro cooling system technology. The Company is currently manufacturing and marketing its intellectual property for sale.
In consolidation, all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company and its Subsidiary have not yet commenced revenue producing operations and have sustained accumulated losses since inception of approximately $6,500,000. The Company and its Subsidiary have funded operations through equity and debt financing since inception. All these factors raise substantial doubt over the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise capital to commercialize its intellectual property and be able to execute its growth strategies.
Also, as discussed in note 9, the Company raised $1,000,000 in debt financing during the first half of 2005.
Financial reporting
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Although these statements are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments, including time deposits and short-term bonds, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have an original maturity of three months or less. The Company and its subsidiary’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained in banks and financial institutions in the United Kingdom and South Korea, and they have not experienced any losses on their cash balances.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
Investment
In connection with $3,000,000 of equity financing (see note 5), the Company received 620,000 shares of an entity affiliated with the Company through common management. The shares of the investee represent an ownership of less than 2% and have been valued by management at $254,792 which is management’s estimate of its fair value.
Revenue recognition
Once the Company’s product is marketed for sale its policy will be to record revenue as earned when the following attributes are met.
- | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. |
- | Delivery has occurred to the customers |
- | The sales price of the customer is fixed or determinable |
- | Collectivity is reasonably assured |
Furniture and equipment
Furniture and equipment at December 31, 2004 are summarized as follows:
Vehicles | | $ | 9,410 | |
Machinery | | | 83,321 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 211,979 | |
| | | 304,710 | |
Accumulated depreciation | | | 136,419 | |
| | $ | 168,291 | |
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals, and betterments, which prolong the usual life or enhance the value of the assets, are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated life of five years for machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and vehicles. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $48,282.
Deferred costs
In connection with obtaining debt and equity financing, the Company incurred placement agent fees from a third party equal to 10% of the amount financed. The placement agent and the Company have agreed to defer 2.5% of the 10% fee until 2005. The agent assisted in placing $1,500,000 in long term debt financing and $1,000,000 in equity financing. Additional placement agent fees were also paid or accrued to another party in 2004. Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with longterm financing (see note 4) amounted to $229,406 and are being amortized on a straightline basis over the 18month term of the loan. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $12,745.
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets and intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, impairment loss is recognized, based on the fair value of the asset.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
Business risks.
The Company is subject to the risks associated with start-up and high growth companies such as the risks of raising adequate capital, producing profitable operations and operating in various countries through out the world.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $789,641 in 2004.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar, while the functional currency of the Subsidiary is the Korean Won.
The assets and liabilities of the Subsidiary have been translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing year-end rate of exchange, while the related income and expenses items were translated at the average rate of exchange during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholder's equity (deficit).
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. SFAS 130 requires a company to report comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) includes the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources, such as unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in unrealized foreign currency translation losses during 2004 amounted to $53,355. Accordingly, comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $2,962,308.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's cash, receivables and payables, and long-term debt represent financial instruments whose carrying amounts reasonably approximate their fair value.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The pro forma disclosure previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 will no longer be an acceptable alternative to recognition of expenses in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for awards beginning January 1, 2006. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had not issued any stock options, and will apply the new fair value reporting standard for any stocks and options issued in 2006.
Note 2 – Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities created by temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed on such temporary differences, including available net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the years when such differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company currently operates in the United Kingdom while its subsidiary operates in South Korea. Operating loss carryforwards in the United Kingdom approximated $900,000 at December 31, 2004 and can be carried forward indefinitely, provided, the Company (i) doesn’t cease operations and (ii) doesn’t change its business nature, while operating loss carryforwards in South Korea approximated $2,800,000 at December 31, 2004 and expires in the years 2007 and 2008. A full valuation allowance has been applied against the deferred tax asset resulting from these tax loss carryforwards.

Note 3 – Commitments
Commitments to third party
According to a loan agreement between the Subsidiary and Sae Han IT, in May 21,2004 (see note 6), the Subsidiary agreed to provide 50 percent of gross margin to B.A.C. Network (BAC). Gross margin is determined based on the difference between suppliers' unit cost and selling price to purchaser. The Subsidiary set the range of purchasers, selling the Company's micro cooling system and related products, to include only LG Electronics, LGIBM, and others to which LG Electronics and LGIBM will supply the Company's products. Through June 24, 2005, no sales of the Company’s products have occurred.
The gross margin agreement can be terminated upon request by Sae Han IT and a request for the repayment of a loan (see note 6) can be made. Upon the termination event stated above, the Subsidiary is to provide 25 percent of gross margin to BAC from the micro cooling systems business for 3 years from the initial sales date. In addition, BAC can request an extension of the agreement for 27 months in lieu of redemption of the 290 million Won ($280,366) loan (see note 6). Both parties may adjust the range of purchasers when sales volume is extremely low from designated purchasers, as set forth above.

In 2005, CHL executed its right to purchase 10% of the Company for $110,643.
Employment agreements

Note 4 – Long term debt
On December 13, 2004 the Company signed a promissory note from Hansen Gray & Company, a major shareholder in the Company and an entity affiliated through common management, in the amount of $1,500,000. The loan bears an interest rate of 8% which is compounded quarterly and matures in June 2006. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, interest will start accruing on the 180th day after the issuance date. Accordingly, the effective interest rate over the 18 month term is 5.33%.
