Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors and Members
Telogy, LLC
Union City, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Telogy, LLC as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Telogy, LLC at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained recurring losses from operations and has a net members’ deficiency at December 31, 2009. Further, subsequent to year end, the Company filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on January 26, 2010. In conjunction with the bankruptcy filing, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Electro Rent Corporation for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. These consolidated financial statements do not include all adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Overview of Telogy, LLC and Recent Developments |
Business
Telogy, LLC (“Telogy” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a Delaware limited liability corporation formed in July 2006 and in the business of renting, leasing, managing, refurbishing, and remarketing general purpose electronic test equipment. Telogy rents, leases, and remarkets electronic test equipment to customers nationwide and in Europe through its wholly owned subsidiary Telogy International N.V. (TI). The equipment is general purpose in nature and has applications for a range of customers, including those engaged in research, manufacturing, and service functions.
As a result of the significant events which have occurred subsequent to the December 31, 2009 balance sheet date (discussed elsewhere in this document), the Company has effectively ceased its ongoing business operations and is currently in the process of liquidating the Company’s remaining assets.
Organization and July 2006 Plan of Reorganization
Telogy’s assets and operations were formerly owned by Telogy, Inc. In November 2005, Telogy, Inc. reached an agreement with a group of private equity sponsors to recapitalize the entity in order to strengthen its capital structure and enhance its competitive position. As part of the recapitalization, Telogy, Inc. entered into an agreement with the majority of its existing secured debt holders to convert the majority of their debt into equity. On November 29, 2005, to facilitate its recapitalization, Telogy, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary eCycle, LLC, a distinct entity from eCycle, voluntarily filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Telogy, Inc. and its subsidiary subsequently filed a joint plan of reorganization (the 2006 Plan of Reorganization) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. The 2006 Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the bankruptcy court, and the debtors emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings on July 28, 2006.
The 2006 Plan of Reorganization provided for the reorganization of Telogy, Inc. and eCycle, LLC through asset disposition transactions of their businesses to newly formed Delaware limited liability companies, Telogy and eCycle. Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the stock of TI (a sister company to Telogy, Inc.) was contributed to Telogy, such that TI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Under the 2006 Plan of Reorganization, the former secured debt holders of Telogy, Inc. were given a pro rata share of the 795,613 Series A Units of the Company and the former unsecured debt holders were given a pro rata share of 79,037 warrants of the Company. The 2006 Plan of Reorganization also allowed for the issuance of 3,374 Class B Units and 30,880 Class C and D Units each to employees.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Recent Developments – January 2010 Bankruptcy Filing
On January 24, 2010, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code (“Bankruptcy code”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The motion was approved on January 26, 2010. This Bankruptcy filing was the result of the Company’s recurring operating losses and increasing liquidity constraints, which led management to conclude that the best course of action for the Company was to commence Chapter 11 proceedings as part of a plan to implement a proposed transaction with another party to sell substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to a competitive sale process and the solicitation of higher and/or better sales offers.
On February 9, 2010, the Bankruptcy court entered an order approving bidding procedures and setting dates for an auction and sale hearing to approve the sale. On March 16, 2010, the Company conducted an auction. On March 19, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order approving the sale, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) between the Company and Electro Rent Corporation, dated March 16, 2010. On March 31, 2010, the sale was consummated pursuant to the APA.
The APA with Electro Rent Corporation stipulated a price amounting to $24.7 million. The assets purchased through this agreement include all accounts receivable, inventory and rental equipment, equipment, rights and claims, permits and pending applications, intellectual property, products and products in development, documents, telephone numbers, purchased deposits, commercial torts and other rights, claims, goodwill, other additional privileges, rights and interests. Assets excluded from the sale include cash and cash equivalents apart from customer security deposits, rights to TI, deposits apart from customer security deposits, prepaid charges and expenses, receivables related to the excluded assets, insurance policy claim rights, rights and claims associated with excluded assets, capital stock of all assets of TI and eCycle, intercompany debt, all real property leases. Electro Rent Corporation agreed to assume only certain liabilities including warranties, reserved for sales credits and adjustments related to purchase deposits arising after the closing date of the sale.
Recent Developments – September 2009 Sale of Telogy International N.V.
On September 21, 2009, TI entered into an asset purchase agreement with Microlease PLC to sell substantially all of TI’s assets at a cash purchase price of $7.7 million (subject to adjustment) plus $2.5 million assumed liabilities. The agreement provides that the purchased assets would include substantially all of TI’s tangible and intangible assets, exclusive of all cash on hand or at the bank, any tax amounts recoverable by Telogy, websites, assets used in calibration lab, interest in property, certain rented equipment, certain IT assets, and recoverable expenses previously advanced by the seller to current or former employees.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern – The accompanying financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred substantial losses from operations and, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by approximately $30 million (representing a net members’ deficiency). Further, as discussed in Note 1, on January 24, 2010, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code (“Bankruptcy code”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address these matters are described below.
In the months leading up to the January 24, 2010 Chapter 11 filing, the Company experienced recurring operating losses and increasing liquidity constraints. The Company hired an investment banker to assist the Company in exploring various options available to the Company including the pursuit of potential divestitures of the Company’s assets. During these endeavors, in September 2009, the Company sold its international operations consisting of Telogy International N.V. Notwithstanding the forgoing sale, due to the continuing liquidity constraints and concerns about the potential deterioration of its business and degradation in value, the Company concluded that the best course of action for the Company was to commence Chapter 11 proceedings as part of a plan to implement a proposed transaction with another party to sell substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to a competitive sale process and the solicitation of higher and/or better sales offers.
In this regard, subsequent to year end, on January 24, 2010, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy code which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on January 26, 2010. In conjunction with the bankruptcy filing, and the related bidding procedures for an auction and sale of its assets, on March 16, 2010 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with Electro Rent Corporation for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company. On March 19, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order approving the sale, pursuant to the terms of the APA. On March 31, 2010, the sale was consummated. Given that the foregoing events were subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which approval did not occur until March 19, 2010, management determined that the presentation of the Company’s financial statements on the going concern basis as of December 31, 2009 was appropriate in these circumstances.
The carrying values of the Company’s assets at December 31, 2009 have been reduced, as necessary, to reflect any impairment indicated by the amounts paid by the purchaser for assets acquired under the APA and have been reduced, as necessary, to reflect any impairment indicated by the absence of future utility of any of the unsold assets. The carrying values of the Company’s liabilities at December 31, 2009 have not been adjusted (reduced) for any post-balance sheet rulings or judgments of the Bankruptcy Court, as such liabilities represent legal obligations as of December 31, 2009. The carrying values of certain accruals have been adjusted to amounts expected to be paid. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include all adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Telogy, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, eCycle and TI, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations of eCycle and TI are presented as a single line item “income (loss) from discontinued operations” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2009 and 2008 as discussed further below. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Discontinued Operations – For purposes of determining discontinued operations, the Company has determined that TI and e-Cycle are components of the entity within the context of FASB ASC 360-40, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. A component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company. The Company evaluated the results of operations of TI and e-Cycle both quantitatively and qualitatively to determine if appropriate for reporting as discontinued operations. The results of operations of TI and e-Cycle have been presented as discontinued operations for 2009 and 2008. See Note 10 – Discontinued Operations.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 materially from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates include the assessment of potential impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets, useful lives of leasehold improvements and equipment, adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the accounting for contingent liabilities.
Reclassification – Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. Telogy places its cash deposits and temporary cash investments with high-quality, creditworthy financial institutions. Management does not believe that the concentration of such cash deposits and temporary cash investments is deemed to create a significant risk to Telogy. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, 97% and 93%, respectively, of its cash and cash equivalents were deposited with one financial institution.
Telogy, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Restricted Cash – Telogy leases its primary office and warehouse equipment space in Union City, California. The lease requires Telogy to provide the landlord a deposit in the form of a letter of credit for $675,000 for the term of the lease. During 2009, the Company renegotiated their lease agreement, resulting in a decreased deposit amount of $337,014. On April 14, 2010, the Company received Bankruptcy Court approval to terminate their un-expired lease on the Union City office building. The deposit was retained by the Landlord due to the early cancellation of the lease agreement. The $337,014 deposit was written off as of December 31, 2009.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are non interest bearing, and generally are not collateralized. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Allowances for losses on receivables are provided for based on a review of the current status of existing receivables and historical collection experience. Receivables are written off when Telogy determines them to be uncollectible.
Equipment and Parts Held for Rental, Sale, and Lease – Equipment acquired subsequent to the 2006 Plan of Reorganization for rental or remarketing (i.e., for resale) is recorded at cost. Equipment transferred from Telogy, Inc. at the time of the 2006 Plan of Reorganization was adjusted to its “reorganization value.” Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three to ten years, or over the term of the lease, if shorter, to its estimated residual value. Cost of equipment sold represents the net book value of the equipment at the time of disposition.
The recorded values of the Company’s equipment portfolio are periodically reviewed for impairment. An impairment loss is measured and recognized only if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset group are less than the asset group’s net book value. The estimated undiscounted cash flows are the sum of the estimates of undiscounted future rents and estimated residual value of the assets within the asset group at the earlier of end of the assets’ expected holding period or disposition. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value (as determined by the discounted estimated future cash flows) of the asset group and their carrying value on the measurement date.
Telogy’s policy is to evaluate annually the remaining life and recoverability of such equipment in light of current conditions. The evaluation for potential impairment requires that management estimate the future cash flows from the carrying value of its equipment and the ultimate residual sales price or salvage value. Such estimates include assumptions about equipment utilization and rental rates, expected holding period, and used equipment sales values at the end of the expected holding period. It is possible that those estimates of anticipated future cash flows, the remaining estimated economic life of the equipment, or both could be reduced. As such the sum of estimated future cash flows used in the tests of impairment could be reduced in future evaluations to amounts below current carrying values, and such reductions could result in future write-downs of equipment to the extent such equipment is carried at amounts in excess of the then-current fair market value. No impairment was recognized during the period from inception to December 31, 2008. Due to the Company’s filing of voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and the subsequent APA entered into with Electro Rent Corporation in March 2010, as discussed elsewhere in these financial statements, management’s evaluation of fair value of equipment resulted in a $5,058,898 impairment charge as of December 31, 2009.

Telogy maintains an inventory of equipment parts (included in equipment held for rental, sale, and lease) for use in the refurbishment of its equipment inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market price. Parts used in refurbishment are capitalized into the basis of the equipment and are depreciated over the remaining life of the equipment. Where necessary, management makes provisions for obsolete, excess, and slow moving inventories.
Net Investment in Sales-Type Leases - - Leases that contain bargain purchase options are classified as sales-type leases. The present value of the minimum lease payments receivable, which includes the bargain purchase option, is recorded as remarketing of equipment revenue upon commencement of the lease. The cost is the net book value of the equipment remarketed.
Telogy’s net investment in sales-type leases includes the lease contracts’ receivable, less unearned income. Unearned income is the difference between the lease contract receivable and the remarketing revenue, and is amortized over the lease term using the effective-interest rate method. Initial direct costs associated with lease origination for sales-type leases are expensed as incurred. Unearned income is measured using a discounted rate of 12% for December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - - Concentrations of credit risk are somewhat dispersed due to the large number of customers comprising Telogy’s customer base. Approximately 30% and 28% of Telogy’s revenues are generated from customers located in the state of California for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment - Leasehold improvements, office warehouse and other equipment, including software, and vehicles, including equipment under capital leases, held at the time of the 2006 Plan of Reorganization are stated at “reorganization value.” Such assets acquired subsequent to the date of the 2006 Plan of Reorganization are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives, which range from five to ten years, or the term of the lease. Office equipment and vehicles, including equipment under capital leases, are depreciated to their estimated salvage values using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Depreciation on equipment under capital lease is included in depreciation and amortization on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - - In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-40 (formerly SFAS 144), Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-live Assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and would be no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet.
In 2008, the Company recorded an impairment loss for all intangible assets totaling $14,667,415. Intangible assets have zero balance as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Due to the Company’s filing of a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and APA entered into with Electro Rent Corporation in March 2010, as discussed in Note 2, management’s evaluation of fair value of leasehold improvements and equipment resulted in a $453,052 impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Income Taxes - The Company is a limited liability company and, accordingly, the majority of income tax attributes flow through to its members. Although a pass-through entity is subject to entity-level income taxes in some states, any deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities in those states are immaterial. TI, a taxable entity in Belgium, had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $32,387,000 and $18,200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The net operating loss carry-forwards will reduce future taxable income indefinitely. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the net operating loss results in approximately $11,011,000 and $6,185,000 deferred tax asset, respectively, which has been fully reserved with a valuation allowance.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which was later codified principally under FASB ASC subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes – Overall. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes two-step process for evaluating a tax position, involving a recognition threshold and measurement attribute.
Differences between tax benefit positions taken, or expected to be taken, on a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements are generally recognized as an increase to income taxes payable, a decrease to income taxes receivable, or an adjustment to the related deferred income tax asset or liability.
Telogy, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits upon adoption on January 1, 2009 of the uncertain tax position guidance (formerly referred to as “FIN 48”) under FASB ASC subtopic 740-10, and does not have any unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company does not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the 12 months following the balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - - On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of assets or liabilities. These levels are:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
| | December 31, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Amounts in (‘000) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 4,011 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 4,011 | | | $ | 2,273 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 2,599 | |

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s financial instruments for which fair value is required to be disclosed under FASB ASC 825-10, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, consist of cash and cash equivalents reported at fair value using observable market prices from active markets which represents Level 1 in the ASC 820-10 hierarchy.
Telogy, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Foreign Currency Translation - The Company follows the policies prescribed by FASB ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation, for translation of the financial results of its foreign subsidiary. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments due to fluctuations in the exchange rates are recorded as other comprehensive income. Results of operations are translated using the weighted-average foreign currency rate during the period. Members’ equity (deficit) accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recorded in other income and expense.
Revenue Recognition - - Rental and lease revenues are recognized in the month they are due on the accrual basis of accounting. Rentals and leases are billed to customers in advance, and unearned billings are recorded as deferred revenue. Other revenues consist of billings to customers for equipment sales, delivery, or repairs. Those revenues are recognized in the period in which the respective equipment is shipped and risk of loss is passed to the customer or the period in which the services are performed. In the case of equipment which is sold to customers that is already on rent or lease to the same party, revenue is recognized at the agreed-upon date when the rent or lease term ends. Revenues from the sale of rental equipment and new equipment are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer and when collectability is reasonably assured. Equipment management and other fee revenue are generated from services rendered, which are typically provided on either a month-to-month basis or on a short-term project-by project basis, and are billed and recognized when the specific service has been completed.
Equipment Management Agreements - Equipment management fees for services rendered to manage equipment for third parties are recognized as the services are performed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Recent accounting pronouncements that may be applicable to the Company include the following:
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables - In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, which amends ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, to require companies to allocate revenue in multiple-element arrangements based on an element’s estimated selling price if vendor specific or other third-party evidence of value is not available. ASU 2009-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating both the timing and the impact of the pending adoption of the ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting Standards Codification - In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-01 (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC” or “Codification”)). The Codification is the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The Codification does not change current GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification is considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has made the appropriate changes to GAAP references in the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequent Events - On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for accounting for subsequent events. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 855 (formerly, SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events) is consistent with existing auditing standards in defining subsequent events as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, but it also requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The new guidance defines two types of subsequent events: “recognized subsequent events” and “non-recognized subsequent events.” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must be reflected in the company’s financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date and are not reflected in the financial statements of a company. Certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. The new guidance was effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 as required.
Fair Value Measurement - In September 2006, the FASB issued new guidance on fair value measurements, ASC 820-10 (formerly referenced as Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements). This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities and other assets currently carried at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Telogy, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The adoption of the effective portion of the standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements and the Company does not anticipate that adoption of the deferred portion will have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.
Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value - - In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to its previously released guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities. The pronouncement provides clarification that, in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: (i) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset; or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets; and/or (ii) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of an income or market approach. The pronouncement also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the 2006 Plan of Reorganization, during the allocation of enterprise values, the Company identified certain intangible assets. The identified intangible assets were Telogy’s trade name in the amount of $1,510,536, Telogy’s large customer relationships in the amount of $9,485,054 and Telogy’s other customer relationships in the amount of $12,398,424, which were being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of ten years, ten years, and five years, respectively. Amortization expense of $ 3,579,244 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008.
At December 31, 2008, management determined that due to the Company’s recurring operating losses, forecasted future operating results and growing liquidity challenges, the intangible assets were impaired, resulting in a complete write off of the carrying value of such intangibles in the amount of $14,667,415 in 2008. This amount is presented as impairment of intangible assets in the 2008 consolidated statement of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Revolver Loan –
On July 28, 2006, Telogy entered into a revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a five-year term. The Credit Agreement provides for a $40,000,000 revolving credit facility, and along with the $30,000,000 term loan agreement, is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, interest is payable quarterly at a rate of LIBOR plus 5% (approximately 5.6%% and 8.1%, at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively), is subject to various covenants, and is pari passu with the $30,000,000 term loan. All principal is due on July 28, 2011. All lenders participating in the revolving Credit Agreement also hold equity interests in Telogy. The Company is charged an annual commitment fee of 0.50% of the daily average of the unused amount of funds committed under the revolving Credit Agreement.
Term Loan –
On July 28, 2006, Telogy entered into a term loan agreement (the Term Loan Agreement) with a five-year term. The Term Loan Agreement provided for the issuance of $30,000,000 of promissory notes. Under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, interest is payable quarterly at a rate of LIBOR plus 5% (approximately 5.6% and 8.1% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively), and is subject to various covenants. All principal is due on July 28, 2011. All lenders participating in the Term Loan Agreement also hold equity interests in Telogy.
The Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement contain various covenants including the requirement to submit audited financial statements to the lenders within 120 days after fiscal year end. Due to the bankruptcy filing and related sale of assets under the APA, the Company was not able to submit audited financial statements to the lenders within 120 days after the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and was otherwise unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders for the non-compliance; accordingly, the Company is in default with respect to this covenant.
Under the proposed settlement arrangements before the bankruptcy court, it is expected that substantially all available assets will be distributed to secured creditors, except for certain amounts that are to be distributed pro-rata among unsecured creditors.
Other Borrowings –
Other borrowings amounted to $ -0- and $442,553 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and consisted of amounts owing under a line of credit and capital lease obligations entered into by TI. These obligations were repaid during 2009.

7. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Leases Relating to Operations - The initial lease term for the Company’s primary office and warehouse space in Union City, California was to expire in November 2013.
Effective January 2009, the Company renegotiated the lease agreement where 60% of the leased property was subleased by the Landlord to a third party. Concurrently, lease payments were pro-rated between the Company and the third party lessor.
Telogy leases its other facilities and other office equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements through 2013.
In conjunction with the Company’s filing for voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11, the bankruptcy court approved the Company’s petition for rejection of remaining lease term on April 14, 2010. As a result of this lease cancellation, the lease deposit amounting to $337,014 was retained by the Landlord. In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, the Company wrote down the lease deposits and deferred rent liability to net realizable value. This resulted in a write down of $337,014 in lease deposit and elimination of the deferred rent liability.
Rent income/(expense) under operating leases was $240,742 and ($2,925,459) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in operating and other expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Contingencies - In November 2007, the Company discovered that certain equipment may have been exported to a foreign customer without a required export license. As a result, with the assistance of outside counsel, the Company began an internal review of its compliance with United States export control laws, which covered exports by the Company, its subsidiary TI, and Telogy, Inc., from March 2003 through March 2008. As a result of this review, in March 2008, the Company voluntarily disclosed to the Office of Export Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and Security, United States Department of Commerce (OEE), the transactions it identified that may have been conducted without the appropriate export or re-export licenses. The Company could be subject to civil or criminal fines, penalties, administrative sanctions and other types of liability in connection with these transactions. The OEE is still in the process of reviewing and investigating this matter. The assessment of civil penalties is likely. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the OEE notified the Company that it had completed investigation. With respect to the investigation of Telogy (the U.S. entity) the OEE agreed to waive all civil penalties. With respect to TI (the International entity) the OEE imposed a civil penalty of less than $100,000 which the Company has paid. As part of the settlement with the OEE, the Company agreed that for one year it would refrain from violating any exporting laws.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
As part of the discontinued operations of the eCycle business, the facilities were vacated and the leased building was turned over to the landlord. The total unpaid minimum lease commitment up to July 31, 2011 amounted to $1.6 million. In January 28, 2009, the landlord (Plaintiff) filed a lawsuit against both eCycle LLC and Telogy Inc. The complaint alleged that eCycle entered into a lease with the predecessor-in-interest of Plaintiff, and that eCycle breached the lease. The complaint further alleged that Telogy is an alter ego of eCycle. The Plaintiff sought damages of $1.6 million, plus interest and attorneys’ fees.
In April, 2009, the Plaintiff filed a response to special interrogatories to Superior Court of California where the approximate claim was increased to $2.4 million to include unpaid rent and common area maintenance charges. The Company filed a defense denying the material allegations and asserting affirmative defenses. In May 2009, the Plaintiff filed a petition to add Telogy, LLC as a defendant. Telogy was sued on the same alter-ego theory as Telogy, Inc. In June 2009, the court issued an order approving the petition. Since eCycle is currently a cancelled California limited liability company, Telogy, Inc. and Telogy, LLC remained as defendants. On November 17, 2009, the two parties settled the claim for $40,000. Telogy, LLC paid the full amount on November 18, 2009. As a result, the Company reversed their lease liability accrual, totaling $1.2 million, in 2009.
In February 2009, the Company received a letter from the attorney of a former outside sales representative for eCycle claiming it owed $195,000 in unpaid commissions. The former sales representative claims that eCycle breached its obligations under the sales contract the representative had with eCycle. Management believes that this claim is without merit and accordingly has not accrued any amounts related to this matter.
Employee Benefit Plan - On April 1, 1988, Telogy, Inc.’s Board of Directors established the Telogy 401(k) Plan (the Plan), a defined contribution plan, which was assumed by Telogy. The Plan allows employees to contribute from 2% to 15% of their total compensation. At management’s discretion, Telogy may make a matching contribution based upon its current and accumulated earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, Telogy contributed $2,167 and $134,461, respectively, to the Plan. Administrative and trustee costs of the Plan are paid by the Plan’s participants.
