INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors Vutek, Inc. and Subsidiaries Meredith, New Hampshire
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vutek, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing 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. 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 audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2004 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Business
Vutek, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company) develop, manufacture, sell, and lease printing equipment to producers of outdoor signage. The Company also manufactures and distributes ink products to its customers. The Company’s products are sold worldwide, primarily in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The Company’s operations are principally located in the United States although the majority of sales are to customers outside of the United States.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim financial statements herein have been prepared consistent with the accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements included herein. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period presented.
(2)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(b) Use 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 balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Accounting areas relying significantly on estimates and assumptions include management’s judgment regarding impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, the adequacy of the bad debt allowance and the valuation of inventory.
The Company regularly evaluates its ability to collect outstanding receivables. Allowances for doubtful accounts are provided when collection becomes unlikely. In performing this evaluation, significant estimates are involved, including an analysis of risks on a customer-by-customer basis. Based upon this information, the Company reserves an amount believed to be uncollectible. At December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, the allowance for doubtful accounts represented approximately 16% and 17%, respectively, of gross receivables.
The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”). The Company estimates revisions to its inventory based on technical obsolescence, historical demand and projections of future demand. The Company’s inventory balance at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 was $19,584 and $20,852, respectively, net a reserve to reduce inventory to its net realizable value.

Pro Forma Stock-Based Compensation Expense
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for its stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation cost for awards granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method set forth under SFAS No. 123, the effect on the Company’s net income would have been:

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for all periods presented:
Volatility
0
%
Risk-free interest rate
4.37
Expected life options
5 years
Dividend yield
0
%
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from traded options and because changes in assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate in management’s opinion, the existing models did not necessarily offer a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, as the Company is a nonpublic entity, the volatility of the Company’s stock is assumed to be zero. This model also does not take into account any anticipated sales of the Company’s stock.
(d) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The Company typically recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company generally structures its sales arrangements using International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”) that transfer risk of loss at the time of shipment and accordingly product revenue is generally recorded at the time of shipment. In some cases, terms are included in sales arrangements which transfer the risk of loss at the destination and in such cases revenue is recognized when the product(s) arrives at the customer site. Services revenues are recorded upon performance of the service.

(In thousands, except share data)
At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses recorded in operating expenses in the Customer operations line. The Company’s standard warranty period typically extends 12 months from the date of customer acceptance and the warranty accrual represents the best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims for products under warranty as of the balance sheet date. While the Company believes that the warranty accrual is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, such estimates could differ materially from actual warranty costs in the future.
The Company records revenue under leasing transactions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, Accounting for Leases. The Company’s sales leasing activities consist principally of the leasing of industrial printers to end-users. The Company’s sales leases are classified as operating leases. The leasing terms primarily range between three to five years.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents, consisting primarily of investments in money market, are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair market value.
(f) Inventories
Inventory purchases are accounted for at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory, net of the valuation allowance, consists of the following:

(g) Property and Equipment
Items acquired are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method by charges to operations in amounts estimated to allocate the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Depreciation expense and amortization of leasehold improvements for the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $2,133 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $397 and $683, respectively.
(h) Development and Engineering Expenses
Development and engineering expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs and prototype cost related to the research, design, development, testing and enhancements of our products and are charged to operations as incurred.
(i) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to interest rate risk or concentrations of credit risk consist mainly of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short-term nature or variable rate of interest in the case of short-term debt. Long-term debt bears interest at a variable market rate; therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137,Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, and SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities–An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in income unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the statement of operations and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. If a derivative qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in the fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is to be immediately recognized in earnings. Also when a hedged item or derivative is terminated, sold, or matures, any remaining value would be recognized in earnings either immediately or over the remaining life of the contract.

As discussed in note 4, the Company had entered into an interest rate swap to manage interest rate sensitivity. Net settlements on the interest rate swap were recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of the contract. In the event of default by the counterparty, Sun Trust Bank, the Company was exposed to changes in derivative market values that are a function of potential future changes in the interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement expired as of August 2003.
The company has no derivative instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2004 or March 31, 2005.
(j) Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are being amortized into interest expense over the contractual life of the long-term debt on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method. Amortization of deferred financing costs was approximately $640 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $172 and $93 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Also in 2004 the company wrote off the remaining $589 of deferred financing costs associated with the 2000 Credit Agreement as that agreement was replaced with the 2004 Credit Agreement.
Amortization of deferred financing costs for the remainder of 2005 is anticipated to be $512, and annual amortization of deferred financing costs for fiscal years 2006 through 2009 is anticipated to be $683.
(k) Patents and Know-How
Patents and know-how acquired were recorded at fair market value and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, averaging 15 years. Amortization of patents and know-how was $2,629 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $657 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
Amortization for the remainder of 2005 is anticipated to be $1,972 and annual amortization of deferred financing costs for fiscal years 2006 through 2009 is anticipated to be $2,629.
(l) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of Inkware, Inc., acquired in September 2000. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company tests for goodwill impairment using a fair value approach annually, or earlier if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate a potential impairment. Under the impairment test, if the carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill. The fair value was estimated using a technique which includes certain management assumptions such as estimated future cash flows, estimated growth rates and discount rates. Furthermore, SFAS No. 142, requires purchased intangible assets other than goodwill to be amortized over their estimated useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company ceased amortizing the remaining unamortized goodwill balance of $35,516 as of the beginning of fiscal 2002. Based on the impairment tests performed, there was no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2004 or fiscal 2003. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.
(m) Long-Lived Assets
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS No. 121 and portions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30. This statement addresses the recognition of an impairment loss for long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of by sale or otherwise. Management elected to adopt this Statement as of January 1, 2002. The Company’s long-lived assets subject to SFAS No. 144 consist primarily of patents and know-how and property and equipment. Management evaluates its long-lived assets when there is an indication of potential impairment. Management considers whether long-lived assets have been impaired by comparing future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from utilizing these assets to their carrying amounts. If cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment has occurred and the assets should be written down to their fair market value. Significant estimates and assumptions regarding future sales, cost trends, productivity, and market maturity are made by management in order to test for impairment. Based on current facts, estimates and assumptions, management believes that no assets that are to be held and used are impaired. There is no assurance that changes in management’s estimates and assumptions in future assessments will not result in an impairment.
(n) Foreign Currency
For the Company’s foreign operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Any resulting translation gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material for the years presented.

SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(SFAS 123R) was issued in December, 2004. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(SFAS 123), and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions with employees in the financial statements. The compensation cost is measured based upon the fair value of the instrument issued. Share-based compensation transactions with employees covered within SFAS 123R include share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123 included a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees, but allowed companies to continue to apply the guidance in APB 25 provided that they disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements the pro forma net income if the fair-value-based method been applied.The Company is currently reporting share-based payment transactions with employees in accordance with APB 25 and provides the required disclosures. SFAS 123 will be effective on the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.
SFAS No. 151,Inventory Costs — An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 SFAS No. 151,Inventory Costs — An amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4(SFAS 151) was issued in November, 2004.SFAS 151 reinforces that abnormal levels of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage are required to be expensed as incurred and not included in overhead. The statement also requires fixed production overheads be allocated to conversion costs based on the production facility’s normal capacity. The provisions in Statement 151 are effective prospectively for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
(3) Preferred Stock
In December 2001, the Company issued 98,464 shares of Series A cumulative preferred stock at $100 per share, resulting in net cash proceeds of $7,795 and a subscription receivable of $2,051. Payments on the subscription receivable were received in 2002. The preferred stock accrues dividends at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of issuance, are senior as to dividend and liquidation rights to the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and are payable only if and when declared by the board of directors. The preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price of $100 per share, plus any accrued unpaid dividends. The preferred stock is subject to certain transfer restrictions, including the Company’s right to repurchase any shares offered for sale. The proceeds from the preferred stock offering were used to reduce outstanding indebtedness.
In connection with the issuance of preferred stock in December 2001, the Company issued 2,723 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $3,616 per share. The conversion rate is adjusted in the event that the Company issues additional shares of common stock, as defined, or upon the occurrence of certain other dilutive events. The warrants are exercisable immediately at the option of the holder through December 21, 2011.

In June 2004, the company entered in to a long-term credit arrangement (the 2004 Credit and Guaranty Agreement) with a commercial lender that provided aggregate Term Loan of $130,000 and a senior secured revolving credit facility (Revolver) and a Swing Line Facility (the Swing Line) that combined provide $15,000 availability.
The 2004 Credit and Guaranty Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit capital expenditures and sets a minimum coverage ratio for interest and a maximum leverage ratio. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and expects to maintain compliance through 2005. The 2004 Credit and Guaranty Agreement expires in June 2010 and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the capital stock of its subsidiaries.
The outstanding balances for the term loans and the revolver were $125,125 at March 31, 2005 and $126,752 at December 31, 2004. The term loan is due in periodic installments of $1,625 beginning in September 2004 through March 2010 with a payment at maturity in June of 2010 of $94,250. The term loan bears interest at a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 2.5% or the Euro-dollar rate plus 3.50% and the Revolver bears interest at a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 1.75 to 2.25% or the Euro-dollar rate plus 2.75% to 3.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the 2004 Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2005, the interest rate for the Term Loan was 8.25%, and the interest rate for the Revolver was 8.0%. Year-end rates, given the actual rates are variable, may or may not be indicative of future rates.

To manage interest rate sensitivity on the Company’s debt due under the 2004 Credit and Guaranty Agreement, the Company is required to maintain interest rate protection and purchased from Citizens Bank a United State’s Dollar Amortizing Interest Rate Cap (AIRC) agreement in October 2004. The agreement calls for amounts amortizing over the term of the Credit and Guaranty Agreement. The AIRC has an expiration date of September 30, 2006. The notional amount was calculated as 50% of the outstanding debt as of the payment date. The agreement effectively will convert the Company’s interest rate on a portion of the principal due under the 2004 Credit and Guaranty Agreement from variable to fixed upon interest rates raising higher than the capped rate. The capped rate is LIBOR plus 5%.
The Company capitalized $4,608 in costs associated with the 2004 Credit and Guaranty Agreement. These costs are being amortized over the life of the loan, on a straight-line basis.
(5) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Litigation
The Company is subject to litigation and other legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that any potential liability from these matters would not materially affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
(b) New Hampshire Tax Claims
During March 1998, the Company filed an amendment to the 1995 State of New Hampshire Business Profits Tax (BPT) return to eliminate the apportionment of sales made to foreign countries from the New Hampshire tax base. The Department of Revenue Administration (“DRA”) later rejected the Company’s claim that these sales made in foreign countries should be excluded from the New Hampshire taxable income.
Additionally, the Company was under examination for its taxable years 1997 through 2000, also by the State of New Hampshire.
In 2004, the Company paid $2,702 to settle all taxes from 1997 to 2000 and has an agreement for alternative apportionment for subsequent years, see Note 7.
(c) Minimum Lease Payments
The Company entered into an operating lease in 1999 with an unrelated party for a facility in the United Kingdom for a five-year period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company negotiated a termination of the United Kingdom lease for a one time payment of approximately $70.
The Company entered into operating leases in 2001, with unrelated parties, for facilities in China and Belgium for two years and nine years respectively.

(d) Product Indemnifications
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally its business partners or customers, in connection with any patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to its products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements.
(6) Revenues Under Operating Leases
Minimum future rental receipts on non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2005 are estimated to be $60 for fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
The Company reflects rental revenue earned under operating lease arrangements as part of sales for financial reporting purposes. Rental revenue included as part of sales was $318 in 2004 and $53 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Substantially all operating leases have terms which allow the lessee to purchase the equipment under lease for an agreed upon amount which approximates estimated fair value at the termination of the lease team. The effect of such transactions is not considered in determining the total minimum future rental receipts. Depreciation on machinery and equipment held for operating leases was $317 in the year ended December 31, 2004 and $44 and $93 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These amounts are included in depreciation and amortization expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The net book value of the machinery and equipment held for operating leases as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $182 and $193, respectively.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods that the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

(d) Contingently Issuable Shares
The 2000 Option Plan also allows for the issuance of other options that become vested and exercisable only upon a change in control of the Company. These contingently issuable shares expire 10 years from the date of grant. Options are generally not transferable and shares purchased upon the exercise of options are subject to resale restrictions. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 options to purchase 755 and 1,205 shares, respectively, were outstanding, none of which were vested, and options to purchase 2,426 shares were available for grant.
(e) Stock Option Re-Pricing
In December 2002, management approved an offer to certain employees to re-price their out-of-the-money options (covering an aggregate of 2,007 shares). The original options had exercise prices ranging from $2,668 to $3,178, and the new options have an exercise price of $2,100. The fair value of a share of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 was estimated at $1,780 and $1,460, respectively. No compensation expense resulted in 2003 or 2004 as a result of this re-pricing since the new exercise price is greater than fair market value on these dates. However, to the extent the fair market value of the shares increases and exceeds the new exercise price of these operations, compensation expense will be recorded in future periods and periodically adjusted for changes in the fair value until the options are exercised.
(10) Related-Party Transactions
The Company commenced payment of an annual management fee to a certain stockholder on April 24, 2000 in accordance with a management consulting agreement in the amount of $1,000 per annum, subject to increases, as defined in the agreement. The Company paid $1,111 under this management consulting respectively for the years ended December 31, 2004.
