REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
IDI HOLDINGS, LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IDI HOLDINGS, LLC. (formerly known as The Best One, Inc.) as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statement of operations, statement of shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of IDI HOLDINGS, LLC as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from September 22, 2014 (Inception) through December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

IDI HOLDINGS, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
The Best One, Inc. was formed as a corporation on September 22, 2014 (inception) in the State of Florida. On October 2, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“ID”). On March 20, 2015, The Best One, Inc. merged with and into TBO Acquisition, LLC, and this name was changed to IDI HOLDINGS, LLC (“the Company”) on April 8, 2015.
Business Description
The Company was formed as a holding company to acquire valuable and proprietary technology assets across a broad range of industries. Such assets are utilized to provide services including analytics, marketing and risk mitigation solutions.
Historically, ID has provided data solutions and services to the Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) industry for location and identity verification, legislative compliance and debt recovery. ID is now targeting the entirety of the risk management market, including expansion into FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulated data, and non-regulated data. Transforming the way organizations use their data, ID’s next generation supercomputer technology and proprietary linking and assessment algorithms solves complex, large scale data problems for its customers.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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 may differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market and various deposit accounts.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily at one financial institution, and at times the balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s cash balances exceeded the insurance limits by $5,603,611.
Management reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. As at and for period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, there were no individual customers with a balance in excess of 10% of the accounts receivable and there were no customers in excess of 10% of net sales.

DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentration of Vendors
The Company uses data acquired through licensing rights from approximately 12 providers. The loss of any one of these providers could have an immediate near-term impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
Revenue Recognition
The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are affected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change. Consequently, the revenue recognition accounting rules require management to make significant judgments.
The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or a service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue is generally recognized on (a) a transactional basis determined by the customers’ usage, (b) a monthly fee or (c) a combination of both.
Revenues pursuant to contracts containing a monthly fee are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, which is generally 1 year. Revenues pursuant to transactions determined by the customers’ usage are recognized when the transaction is complete. Costs associated with separately priced customer service contracts are generally recognized as follows: (a) costs are expensed as incurred; and (b) losses are recognized on contracts where the expected future costs exceed expected future revenue. No such loss contracts exist at December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014, deferred revenue totaled $164,018, respectively, all of which is expected to be realized in 2015.
Intangibles
Generally, intangible assets acquired are stated at their historic cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with determinable finite useful lives, which includes software, on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3-15 years for the assets.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. At December 31, 2014, the Company had no leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Management assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Long-Lived Assets - continued
For the period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
For the period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, the Company operated at a loss creating a deferred tax asset in the amount $264,750. The Company had no accrued tax liability as of December 31, 2014. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense. There were no material income tax interest or penalties for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception), through December 31, 2014. There are no open federal or state income tax years under audit. All of the Company’s income tax filings since inception remain open for tax examinations.
Research and Development
In accordance with GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development activities consist of development of new or enhanced products or services. The Company has determined that there were no research and development activities for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception), through December 31, 2014.
Advertising
Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred. The Company had Advertising expenses of $35,474 for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception), through December 31, 2014.

DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
• | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. |
Cash, and all other current assets and liabilities, are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to employees generally vest over four years, and allow for quarterly or annual vesting of the pro-rata number of stock-based awards that would vest on the next anniversary of the grant date in the event of retirement or voluntary termination. The Company does not reduce stock-based compensation for an estimate of forfeitures because the estimate has been deemed immaterial. The impact of actual forfeitures arising in the event of termination is recognized as actual forfeitures occur.
Compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted is predominantly recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award. The terms of the Company’s stock-based awards for employees and non-employee directors provide for accelerated vesting of a portion of outstanding shares based on the achievement of certain company milestones. The fair value of RSUs is calculated as the market value of the common stock on the measurement date less the present value of the expected dividends forgone during the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation expense is predominantly included in compensation expenses in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 8 for additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (“ASU 2014-04”), which intends to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. ASU 2014-04 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2015. Our adoption of ASU 2014-14 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - continued
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – INTERACTIVE DATA ACQUISITION
On October 2, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data through a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company, John O. Schaeffer (“Schaeffer”) and WHP Solutions, LLC (“WHP”). The aggregate purchase price for the securities purchased consisted of $5,760,000 in cash and 100 shares of the Company preferred stock, which have since converted into 1,422,222 shares of the Company common stock. The stock consideration was paid entirely to Schaeffer, founder of Interactive Data and 40% interest holder at the time of the acquisition, who also received $1.92 million of the cash consideration, with the remainder being paid to WHP. The purchase price was adjusted by $560,361 to adjust estimated working capital as of the closing to $0. As a result of the post-closing adjustment, an additional $508,767 in cash was paid to Schaeffer and WHP with an additional $51,594 due upon the earlier of the Company’s realization of a prepaid tax credit or September 31, 2015. In addition, the Company entered into a two year employment agreement with Schaeffer, effective as of the closing date, to serve as a Senior Executive of the Company and General Manager of Interactive Data.

ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management believes, based on all positive and negative evidence, that the deferred tax assets will be fully realized and therefore has not recorded a valuation allowance.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740: Income Taxes, the Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. All of the Company’s income tax filings since inception remain open for tax examinations.
