These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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.

We believe that our audits provide 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 Epic Sports International, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
1. | Organization and Nature of Business |
Klip America, Inc. (“Klip”) was incorporated on August 12, 2002, in the state of Nevada, pursuant to an agreement dated September 18, 2008 with Capstone Capital Group I, LLC. (“Capstone”). Klip issued 20,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock to Universal Apparel Holdings, Inc. (“UAH”), which is related to Capstone, giving UAH 80% ownership in the Company.
The Company is an importer and wholesale distributor of high-end performance and lifestyle apparel, tennis racquets, tennis bags and sporting goods accessories. In January 2009, the Company became the worldwide licensee for Volkl and Boris Becker Tennis.
In April 2010 the Company changed its name to Epic Sports International, Inc.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term instruments purchased with initial maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 these estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, the amount of impairment of long–lived assets, inventory obsolescence and the allowance for chargebacks.
Due from Factor – Related Party
The Company factors its accounts receivable with a related party (“factor”). Amounts due from the factor represent receivables carried at the amount billed to customers, net of an allowance for chargebacks and factor commissions due.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods, and is valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Market is determined based on net realizable value with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels and other market factors. An inventory reserve is recorded if the carrying amount of the inventory exceeds its estimated market value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years.
Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease terms. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. The Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of each group of assets that generates cash flows with the estimated present value of the corresponding cash flows. If the expected present value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Management has reviewed the Company’s long-lived assets and believes that there has been no impairment.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products. Allowances, credits and other adjustments are recorded in the period the related sales occur.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the tax effects of those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination. These requirements became effective for annual financial statements beginning after December 15, 2008 and the Company adopted them as of January 1, 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company’s income tax returns for the years ended 2006 through 2009 are subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as required by ASC 825:
| Cash: The carrying amount is the fair value. |
| Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term duration of those instruments. |
| Revolving Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt: The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill, which represents the cost of acquiring a business that is in excess of the net of the fair values ascribed to the identifiable assets and liabilities, is not amortized.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods they are expected to provide benefits.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances change, such as a significant adverse change in the economic climate that would make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the period from September 19, 2008 to December 31, 2008, and the period from January 1, 2008 to September 18, 2008 advertising expense amounted to $70,137, $22,265 and $51,048, respectively, and is included in selling expense.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of sales in the statements of operations

Accordingly, an impairment analysis was performed as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 using a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires that certain assumptions and estimates be made regarding industry economic factors and future profitability and cash flows. As a result of the 2009 and 2008 impairment analysis, it was determined that goodwill was not impaired.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, net deferred tax assets were approximately $1,038,000 and $635,000, respectively resulting primarily from the future tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. Under the liability method, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
The Company evaluates deferred income taxes annually to determine if the valuation allowance should be adjusted. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established against the deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not realization standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency of recent income and losses, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of the statutory carryforward period. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets based on the Company’s evaluation, as described above, about the likelihood of realizing future tax benefits. The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 1,003,000 | | | $ | 287,000 | |

The Company has not provided for income taxes because it has had no current taxable income and, no temporary differences that are expected to have any future income tax effects.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
The Company’s effective rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes and the impact of recording a valuation allowance to offset the potential future tax benefit resulting from net operating loss carry forwards for all years presented. The following is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |

Effective tax rate | | | (0.00 | )% | | | 0.00 | % |
As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s federal net operating losses were approximately $2,506,000. The federal net operating losses expire from the year ended 2025 through 2029. These net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, based on certain changes in ownership that have occurred, or could occur in the future.
