Germany
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bressner Technology GmbH (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of income for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s 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 Federal Republic of Germany; 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts 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 auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates 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 opinion.

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, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Emphasis of Matter – Reconciliation to US GAAP
We draw attention to Footnotes 5-10, which reconcile the results for the periods from accounting principles generally accepted in the Federal Republic of Germany (German Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) due to significant differences that exist between German Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and US GAAP. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Emphasis of Matter – Acquisition of the Company
On October 31, 2018, the Company was acquired by One Stop Systems, Inc., a publicly-traded company.

General Note: | | |
| | |
The grouping of the balance sheet accounts under German GAAP differs from the US-GAAP classification of accounts. For the purpose of reconciliation, the balance sheet accounts for German GAAP have been re-grouped to follow the US-GAAP classification. |
| | |
Note A: | | |
| | |
In German-GAAP a general bad-debt provision in the amount of € 8.601 was recognized without regard to specific risk or age of receivables. |
| | |
Note B: | | |
| | |
We reconciled € 86.026 from the inventories and € 108.942 from other assets. The two amounts represent advance payments made. |
| | |
Note C: | | |
| | |
The requirement for capitalization of internally developed software was met under FASB ASC 985-20-25, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. The completion of development was determined to have occurred in January 2106, resulting in €193.000 of labor costs capitalized. The adjustment amount at yearend is net of accumulated amortization during the year. Costs for research and development prior to achievement of technological feasibility, as well as costs associated with marketing and selling the software, have been expensed as incurred. The management estimates the duration of use to be seven years. |
| | |
Note D: | | |
| | |
Unrealized losses on forward exchange contracts were recognized as liabilities in the amount of € 27.195. |
| | |
Note E: | | |
| | |

Unrealized gains and losses | | -8.158 |
Total | | 36.940 |
| | |
Note F: | | |
