THE CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE SOURCE BUSINESS ADVISORS AND CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS | REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
To the Members of
Sequoia Media Group, LC
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sequoia Media Group, LC (the Company), as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sequoia Media Group, LC as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Organization and Nature of Operations Sequoia Media Group, LC (the Company), a Utah limited liability company, was formed on March 15, 2003. The Company develops and sells an engaging way for anyone to tell their “Story” with personal digital expressions. The Company’s products simplify and automate the process of creating professional-quality multi-media productions using personal photos and videos. | ||||||
Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. | |||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customer The Company maintains its cash in bank demand deposit accounts, which at times may exceed the federally insured limit or may be maintained in non-insured institutions. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $952,752 and $153,874 respectively, in excess of the insured limits, primarily in cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to cash. | |||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers and requires no collateral. Concentrations of accounts receivable and revenue were as follows: | |||||||
2007 | |||||||
Revenue | Accounts Receivable | ||||||
Customer A | 97.1% | 18.6% | |||||
Customer B | 5.9% | 3.9% | |||||
Customer C | 0% | 77.5% | |||||

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Net Loss per Common Unit Basic earnings (loss) per unit (EPS) is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common unit holders by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to Basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common units outstanding is increased using the treasury stock method to include the number of additional common units that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common units had been issued. Such potentially dilutive common units include stock options and warrants, convertible preferred stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes and debentures. Units having an antidilutive effect on periods presented are not included in the computation of dilutive EPS. | |
The average number of units of all stock options and warrants granted, all convertible preferred stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures have been omitted from the computation of diluted net loss per common unit because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. | ||
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had 21,749,309 and 7,269,325 potentially dilutive units of common stock, respectively, not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common unit because it would have decreased the net loss per common unit. These options and warrants, convertible preferred stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes and debentures could be dilutive in the future. | ||
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates made by management in the accompanying financial statements include the economic useful lives assigned to property and equipment, recoverability of long-lived assets based on expected future undiscounted cash flows, the fair value of the Company’s units on the dates of share-based compensation awards and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable values and are due within 30 days from the invoice date. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts, when necessary, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on specific facts and circumstances pertaining to individual customers and historical experience. Provisions for losses on receivables are charged to operations. Receivables are charged off against the allowances when they are deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no allowances for doubtful accounts required against the Company’s receivables. | |
Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. | ||
Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of costs to acquire patents and licenses for use of certain music tracks. All of the Company’s intangible assets have finite useful lives. | ||
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, management determined that the carrying amounts of the Company’s intangible assets were not impaired. | ||
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment consists of computers, software and equipment, and furniture and fixtures. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets or over the related lease terms (if shorter), which are three and five years, respectively. |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Property and Equipment - Continued Expenditures that materially increase values or capacities or extend useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance, repairs, and renewal costs are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses from the sale or retirement of property and equipment are recorded in the statements of operations. The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. If it is determined that the related undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between carrying value and fair value of the asset. | |
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, management determined the carrying amounts of the Company’s property and equipment were not impaired. | ||
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue Through December 31, 2007, the Company generated the majority of its revenue from one customer. The contract with this customer included software development, software license, post-contract support (PCS), and training. Because the contract included the delivery of a software license, the Company accounted for the contract in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as modified by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions. SOP 97-2 applies to activities that represent licensing, selling, leasing, or other marketing of computer software. | ||
Because the contract included services to provide significant production, modification, or customization of software, in accordance with SOP 97-2, the Company accounted for the contract based on the provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts and the relevant guidance provided by SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. In accordance with these provisions, the Company determined to use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting to record the revenue for the entire contract. The Company utilized the ratio of total actual costs incurred to total estimated costs to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized at each reporting date. |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue - Continued As of December 31, 2007, this contract was completed and all revenue under this contract had been recognized. The Company has no further obligations under this contract. The Company records billings and cash received in excess of revenue earned as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue balance generally results from contractual commitments made by customers to pay amounts to the Company in advance of revenues earned. The unbilled accounts receivable represents revenue that has been earned but which has not yet been billed. The Company bills customers as payments become due under the terms of the customer’s contract. The Company considers current information and events regarding its customers and their contracts and establishes allowances for doubtful accounts when it is probable that it will not be able to collect amounts due under the terms of existing contracts. | |
Under the current business model, the Company generates revenue from the sale of software, equipment, software licenses, applications development and implementation services, support, training services, and product royalties. The Company continues to apply the guidance provided in SOP 97-2 to recognize revenue on contracts that include a software component. SOP 97-2 generally provides that until vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for the various components within the contract, that revenue is deferred until delivery of all elements except for PCS and training has occurred. After all elements are delivered except for PCS and training, deferred revenue is recognized over the remaining term of the contract. Because of the Company’s limited sales history, it does not have VSOE for the different components that may be included in sales contracts. | ||
Once VSOE is established, the Company will allocate a portion of the contract fee to each undelivered element based on the relative fair values of the elements and allocate the fee for delivered software licenses using the residual method. The Company plans to establish VSOE for the various elements of its contracts based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For consulting services, the Company plans to base VSOE on the rates charged when the services are sold separately under time-and-materials contracts. The Company intends to base VSOE for training on the rates charged when training is sold separately for supplemental training courses. |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue - Continued For PCS, VSOE will be determined by reference to the renewal rate charged to the customer in future periods. For time-and-materials contracts, the Company plans to estimate a profit range and recognize the related revenue using the lowest probable level of profit estimated in the range. Billings in excess of revenue recognized under time-and-material contracts will be deferred and recognized upon completion of the time-and-materials contract or when the results can be estimated more precisely. | |
For fixed-price contracts, the Company intends to recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and following the guidance in SOP 81-1. The Company will make adjustments, if necessary, to the estimates used in the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as work progresses under the contract and as experience is gained. | ||
The Company intends to recognize support revenue from contracts for ongoing technical support and unspecified product updates ratably over the support period. | ||
The Company plans to recognize training revenue as the services are performed. | ||
The Company plans to recognize license revenues from software licenses that do not include services or where the related services are not considered essential to the functionality of the software, when the following criteria are met: a signed noncancellable license agreement with nonrefundable fees has been obtained; the software product has been delivered; there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance; the fees are fixed and determinable; and collection is considered probable. | ||
For certain contracts for which reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made or for which inherent hazards make estimates doubtful, the Company recognizes revenue under the completed-contract method of contract accounting. In one contract entered into during 2007, the Company sold fulfillment equipment, hardware and software installation, and software licenses. The Company currently has deferred all revenues related to these contracts as there is no VSOE established for the software portion of the product. Revenues will continue to be deferred, in accordance with SOP 97-2, until delivery of all elements except for PCS and training have occurred. |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue - Continued Deferred revenues will be recognized over the remaining term of the contract. The Company capitalized the direct cost of the equipment and will amortize it as the related revenue is recognized. The Company entered into two additional contracts during 2007 in which the Company sells its product through a retailer. The product includes both software and the means to submit data to the Company for fulfillment. The Company currently has deferred all revenues related to these contracts as there is no VSOE established for the software portion of the product. Revenues will continue to be deferred, in accordance with SOP 97-2, until the time fulfillment is complete or the obligation to fulfill the order has expired. | |
Software Development Costs Costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs are capitalized. The costs to develop software have not been capitalized as management has determined that its software development process is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility. | ||
Accounting for Equity Based Compensation Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company adopted SFAS No.123(R) using the modified prospective method. The modified prospective method requires that compensation cost be recognized beginning with the effective date based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all equity-based payments granted after the effective date and all non-vested equity-based payments granted prior to the effective date. The Company did not issue any employee equity-based payments |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Continued prior to January 1, 2006. The effect of accounting for equity-based awards under SFAS No. 123(R) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, was to record $505,390, and $37,359, respectively, of equity-based compensation expense in general and administrative expense. The fair value of each share-based award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions. | ||
Expected dividend yield Expected share price volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected life of options | - 40% 4.06% - 4.89% 2.5 years – 4.25 years | ||
Income Taxes Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws, the Company is taxed similar to a partnership, and as a result, is not directly subject to income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (SFAS 141R), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160 (SFAS 160), Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS 141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Continued In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Under SFAS 159, companies may elect to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. | |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-b which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This FSP partially defers the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. Effective for fiscal 2008, the Company will adopt SFAS 157 except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP FAS 157-b. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. | ||
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and as a result, is effective our first quarter of fiscal 2008. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FSP No. FIN 48-1 (FSP FIN 48-1), |

1. Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued | Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Continued Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48. FSP FIN 48-1 is an amendment to FIN 48. It clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. If the Company closes the merger with Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation as noted in Note 10, the Company will be required to comply with FIN 48-1 on the merger date. The actual impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition will depend on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of adoption. The Company is currently calculating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 but does not expect it to have a material impact on the financial statements. | |

10. Commitments and Contingencies | Litigation – On December 17, 2007, Robert L. Bishop, who worked with the Company in a limited capacity in 2004 and is a current member of a limited liability company that owns an equity interest in the Company, filed a legal claim against the Company for unpaid wages and/or commissions (with no amount specified) and promised equity. The complaint was served on the Company on January 7, 2008. The Company timely filed an answer denying Mr. Bishop’s claim. Management believes the demand for payment is without basis, evidence, or meaningful information and intends to vigorously defend against it. Due to the early stage of the proceedings, management is unable to estimate the likelihood of a negative outcome or estimate the potential liability due to this claim. | |||
Operating Leases - The Company has operating leases for office space and co-location services with terms expiring in 2009, 2010, and 2012. Future minimum lease payments are approximately as follows: | ||||

10. Commitments and Contingencies Continued | Agreement and Plan of Merger - Continued The Company is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes; therefore, this merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition. As a result of the merger, the Company will receive approximately $9.8 million in cash to fund operations. | |
In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company entered into a Loan and Security agreement and Secured Note with SAH on December 6, 2007 in order to ensure adequate funds through the closing date. The agreement provides for SAH to loan a total of up to $2.5 million to the Company through the closing date. A total of $1 million was received under the Secured Note on December 6, 2007. On January 15, 2008 and February 15, 2008, the Company received $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively, under the Secured Note (see Note 6). | ||
Contingency - The Company has executed a letter agreement with an institutional investor which provides for the issuance of an additional 1,525,000 common units upon the voluntary conversion of all outstanding Series B preferred units owned by the investor. The agreement calls for the conversion of the Series B preferred units into common units immediately preceding the closing of the merger described above. | ||
Purchase Commitments – On November 29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement which includes a noncancelable purchase commitment for minimum guaranteed royalties in the amount of $97,000. | ||

11. Retirement Plan | On January 1, 2007, the Company established a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers eligible employees who have completed a minimum of three months of service and who are 21 years of age or older. Employees may elect to contribute to the plan up to 100 percent of their annual compensation up to a limit of $16,000 in 2008, and increasing by $500 each year thereafter for inflation or as defined and limited by the Internal Revenue Code. To date, the Company has not made any employer contributions to the plan and is not required to do so. | |
12. Subsequent Events | Note Payable – In January and February, 2008, the Company received an additional $1,500,000 under the Secured Note (see Note 5). | |
Warrant Exercise – On January 31, 2008, an institutional investor exercised warrants to purchase 1,727,605 common equity units of the Company with an exercise price of $.24 per unit and total proceeds of $414,625. | ||
Modification to Merger Agreement – The Company agreed to amend its agreement with Secure Alliance Holdings, Inc. (SAH) to provide for a 1 for 2 reverse stock split rather than a 1 for 3 reverse stock split upon consummation of the merger. Accordingly, each outstanding membership interest in the Company will be converted into the right to receive .87096285 post-split shares of SAH common stock. | ||
Closing of Merger Agreement – On June 6, 2008, the Company closed the merger transaction with SAH. In connection with the merger transaction, the unit holders of the Company exchanged all of their units for shares of common stock of SAH. The number of shares of SAH stock received in the merger represent approximately 80% of the total outstanding shares of SAH. Because the unit holders of the Company obtained a majority ownership in SAH through the merger, the transaction will be accounted for as a reverse merger. As a result of the merger, the Company received approximately $7.3 million in cash to fund operations in addition to the $2.5 million previously loaned to the Company by SAH. |
