Blue7 Communications
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Blue7 Communications (a development stage California corporation) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and from inception (October 16, 2001) to December 31, 2005. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue7 Communications as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and from inception (October 16, 2001) to December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Blue7 Communications (the Company) is engaged in the business of design, development, production and sales of integrated circuits and circuit boards to be used by high frequency circuit design components for ultra wideband wireless applications. The Company is a California corporation incorporated in October 2001 and operates from a facility located in Milpitas, California.
Development Stage
The Company is in the development stage. The activities of the Company have been accounted for as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
During the development stage the Company has entered into certain non-recurring engineering agreements with third parties for research and development services. Amounts earned are recorded as revenue on the percentage of completion method.
Successful completion of the Company's development program and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including future financing, successfully completing product development, regulatory approvals, and achieving a sufficient level of revenue to become an established operating enterprise.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 those estimates. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements are related primarily to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and estimates of percentage completion on revenue contracts. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimates will change within the next year.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The majority of the Company’s cash is on deposit with two financial institutions. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company periodically maintained deposits in a single bank account that exceeded the federally insured deposit limit of $100,000.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year research and development expenses have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 consisted entirely of cash on hand and money market funds.
Blue7 Communications
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no accounts receivable due from customers and no allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded.
Property and Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost and mainly consists of lab and computer equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the assets (three to five years) or the lease term if shorter.
Research and Development
Research and Development expenses include costs and expenses associated with the design and development of new products. To the extent that such costs include the development of computer software, they are generally incurred prior to the establishment of the technological feasibility of the related product that is under development and are, therefore, expensed as incurred. All other research and development expense is expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for future taxable amounts and deferred tax assets are recognized for future deductions net of a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. As the Company grants options at the estimated fair market value of the underlying stock, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial statements.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which requires that the fair value of such instruments be recognized as an expense over the period in which the related services are received. SFAS No. 123 also requires the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share had the Company adopted the fair value method for options awarded to employees. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company’s stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Company’s pro forma calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in the statements of operations. The accounting provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005 (effective January 1, 2006 for the Company). The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R on a modified prospective basis in 2006.
NOTE 2 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company expects to continue to incur losses as it completes its development program. The Company has been able to satisfy its cash requirements through December 2005 and management believes the Company will be able to obtain sufficient cash resources for operations in the future. In February of 2006, the Company was acquired. See Note 11.

NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
In June 2005, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain investors in an effort to raise working capital to fund its operations. Under the terms of the agreement, each investor purchased a convertible promissory note from the Company and the Company issued warrants to purchase 105,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. The total notes purchased by investors under this agreement amounted to $1,050,000. The notes accrue interest at 6% per annum and mature on the earlier of i) May 11, 2006 or ii) 30 days after the Company's next financing closing in which the purchase price paid to the Company for securities is at least $3,000,000. Accrued interest related to these notes amounted to $32,750 as of December 31, 2005. The estimated fair market value of the warrants issued was $12,600 with the discount being amortized to $9,450 at December 31, 2005. In February 2006, the Company was acquired by one of the investors and as a result the warrants issued under this Agreement were cancelled. See Note 11.
Note Payable
In November 2005 Sigma Designs, Inc. (Sigma) advanced the Company $250,000 to fund operations through the anticipated merger, see Note 11. The Company must repay the principal sum of $250,000 plus interest of 7% per year on the earlier occurrence of (a) the termination of the Exclusivity and Confidentiality Agreement entered into on October 14, 2005 between Blue7 and Sigma, (b) immediately upon the termination of the Merger Agreement, or (c) February 28, 2006. The note was paid in full in February 2006, upon closing of the merger agreement. Accrued interest related to this note as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $1,250.
Notes payable as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 consisted of the following:

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In September 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with an unrelated third party. The licensing agreement provides for application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) project license fees and an ASIC project royalties buy-out option of $25,000. The license fees were paid by the Company in 2004. The royalties buy-out option is due upon shipment of a specified number of authorized ASIC to any third party whether constituting engineering samples, production devices or otherwise. No royalties were incurred or paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
In October 2004, the Company entered into an advisory services agreement with an unrelated third party. This agreement was subsequently terminated, and a new agreement was entered into in June 2005. Under the new agreement, the third party shall provide the Company with merger and acquisition advisory services with respect to the potential sale of the Company. Under the new contract, the third party shall represent the Company for a four-month period beginning from the date of the new agreement. Compensation to the third party is based on a percentage fee ranging from 2.25% to 3.50% of total consideration to be received by the Company from any proposed acquirer who is not a current shareholder of the Company. If current shareholders acquire the Company, there will be no amount due. However, the Company has agreed to compensate the third party with 40,000 shares of Common Stock whether or not the Company enters into a Merger and Acquisition transaction with any proposed acquirer or not. The stock compensation will be issued i) at the closing of a Merger and Acquisition transaction, or ii) at the closing of the next round of financing in which a minimum of $3,000,000 is raised in funding, or iii) 12 months after the termination of the new agreement, whichever occurs first.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating losses and tax credit carry forwards.
SFAS No. 109 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carry forwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry forward period. Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, risks associated with its new product introduction including the dependence on rapid acceptance of new technology, the dependence on development of complimentary software by third parties and other risks, such as technological change in the industry, short product life cycles and reliance on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturing contractors, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance.
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $1,629,000 and $940,000, respectively. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, the amount and timing of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The net valuation allowance increased by approximately $689,000 and $745,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Deferred tax liabilities and assets primarily relate to net operating loss carry forwards.
Federal net operating losses as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $3,904,000 and $2,085,000, respectively, and expire in 2025 and 2024, respectively. State net operating losses as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $3,902,000 and $2,083,000, respectively, and expire in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Current federal and California tax laws include substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses in the event of an “ownership change” of a corporation. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards may be limited as a result of such ownership changes. Such a limitation could result in the expiration of carry forwards before they are utilized.
NOTE 9 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS
One international customer accounted for 72% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 and another customer accounted for 23% of total revenues. In 2004, one international customer accounted for 81% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 and another customer accounted for 19% of total revenues.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTIES
For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and for the period from inception through December 31, 2005, consulting fees of approximately $29,000, $29,000 and $81,000, respectively, were paid to the spouse of the President and CEO.
During December of 2005, in anticipation of the merger (Note 11), the Company moved its offices to share space with the acquiring Company.
NOTE 11 - ACQUISITION
Merger Agreement
On December 13, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) with Sigma Designs, Inc., a publicly traded California corporation (“Sigma”). On February 16, 2006, the agreement closed and Sigma purchased the Company’s shares for approximately $14.0 million in stock. In exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, Sigma issued or reserved for issuance to holders of Blue7 capital stock, other than Sigma, an aggregate of 815,034 shares of Sigma Common Stock, of which 98,470 shares will be held in escrow to satisfy any obligations of Blue7 to indemnify Sigma against any claims against Blue7 for any breaches of its representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to the Merger Agreement and certain other matters set forth in the Merger Agreement. The shares of Sigma Common Stock were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. An aggregate of 231,164 shares of the 815,034 shares of Sigma Common Stock issuable under the Merger Agreement are reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock, which options were assumed by Sigma under the terms of the Merger Agreement. Prior to the acquisition, Sigma held approximately 17% of the outstanding shares of Blue7.
In August 2005, the Company entered into two separate agreements for the issuance of warrants to its attorneys for deferred fees for services rendered and disbursements made in support of the Merger. The agreement entitled the attorneys to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock, which increased to 30,000 shares of Common Stock for a total of 40,000 shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of a certain event. The warrants were not exercised as of December 31, 2005 and were cancelled in conjunction with the Merger subsequent to year end.
A member of the Board of Directors of Sigma is also an investor in the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Note Payable
In January 2006, Sigma Designs, Inc. advanced the Company $150,000 to fund operations through the anticipated Merger. The Company must repay the principal sum of $150,000 plus interest of 7% a year on the earlier occurrence of (a) the termination of the Exclusivity and Confidentiality Agreement entered into on October 14, 2005 between Blue7 and Sigma, (b) immediately upon the termination of the Merger Agreement, or (c) February 28, 2006. As of March 2006, this note has not been paid and will be treated as forgiveness of debt.
