Independent Accountant’s Report
To the Board of Directors
Pulse Systems, LLC
Concord, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pulse Systems, LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, members’ equity 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pulse Systems, LLC as of 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.

Pulse Systems, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business:Pulse Systems, LLC (the Company) was established in 2004 to acquire substantially all of the assets of Pulse Systems Corporation. The Company is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for medical supply and equipment manufacturers throughout the United States.
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is as follows:
Accounting estimates:The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, the estimated fair value analysis of the Company for impairment evaluation of goodwill, the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the fair value of warrants.
Cash:The Company maintains its cash balances in a regional financial institution. These balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At December 31, 2009, the cash balances exceeded federally insured limits; however, the Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk.
Trade receivables:Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Management also determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition and credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories:Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out method, or market. Work in process and finished goods include materials, labor and allocated overhead.
Property and equipment:Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using primarily the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years |
Machinery and equipment | | | 7 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 5 | |
Office and computer equipment | | | 3-5 | |
6
Pulse Systems, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Amortization on leased assets is included with depreciation and amortization on owned assets.
Intangible Assets:Intangible assets (Note 2), are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of nine years using the straight-line method.
Goodwill:The Company records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year as of December 31. No indicators of impairment were identified in 2009 or 2008.
Impairment of long-lived assets:Long-lived assets, such as equipment and leasehold improvements and finite-lived intangible assets, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10,Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This is accomplished by comparing their carrying value with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value (estimated discounted future cash flows or appraisal of assets) of the long-lived asset. To date, management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets exists.
Deferred financing costs:Deferred financing costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and amortized by the straight-line method over 60 months, the term of the debt.
| | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Cost | | $ | 290,192 | | | $ | 618,054 | |
Accumulated amortization | | | (43,529 | ) | | | (543,620 | ) |
| | |
Net | | $ | 246,663 | | | $ | 74,434 | |
| | |
Future amortization expense in deferred financing costs at December 31, 2009 are as follows: 2010 $53,038; 2011 $53,038; 2012 $53,038; 2013 $53,038; and 2014 $34,511.
Revenue recognition:Revenue is recognized when title to the product transfers, no remaining performance obligations exist, the terms of the sale are fixed and collection is probable. This generally occurs at shipment. Shipping and handling charges to customers are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Shipping and handling:Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
Income taxes:As a limited liability company, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Company makes distributions to its members to fund tax distributions. California has a minimum tax for all limited liability companies which has been recorded in the financial statements as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.
On January��1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods.
The Company would recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009, the Company determined that it had no uncertain tax benefits. The tax years 2006-2008 remain open for examination.
Stock-based compensation:The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the statement of income as an operating expense based on their fair values over the requisite service period.
Under ASC 718, the fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes model at the time the stock-based awards are granted. ASC 718 and the use of the Black-Scholes model requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly for assumptions such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected lives to value stock-based awards, and forfeiture rates to recognize stock-based compensation. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in valuing stock-based awards for the year ended December 31, 2008 (no awards were granted in 2009):
| | | | |
Expected volatility | | | 29.19 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | 3.58% and 3.78% |
Expected life | | 3 years | |
Dividend yield | | Zero | |
8
Pulse Systems, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
The Company estimates the expected volatility of its stock price in future periods by using the actual volatility of publicly traded companies similar to the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected life of the options. The Company has no history of employee exercise and termination, so the estimate of expected term is based on management’s best estimate. The expected dividend yield is consistent with the Company’s historical dividend yield. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on certain conditions generally outside the control of the Company. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, total stock-based compensation, as determined in accordance with ASC 718, could have been materially affected. Furthermore, if different assumptions are used for future grants, stock-based compensation could be materially impacted in future periods.
Fair value measurement:The Company follows guidance for fair value measurements that provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting policies. The guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with three categories:
| • | | Level 1—Valuations based on assets or liabilities traded in an active market. |
|
| • | | Level 2—Valuations based on assets and liabilities traded in a less active market or valuations based on pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities. |
|
| • | | Level 3—Valuations based on valuation methodologies, discounted cash flow models or similar techniques. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions, modeling and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. |
Goodwill is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, this asset is not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but is subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. Since certain assumptions, modeling and projections are used in determining the fair value of goodwill, this asset falls into Level 3 of the fair value guidance. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of ASC 820-10-65-4 related to assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis effective January 1, 2009. This did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Warrant liability:Effective January 1, 2009, the Company was required to analyze its outstanding financial instruments following the guidance of EITF 07-5 (as codified in ASC 815-40) and that pronouncement’s effect in interpreting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as codified in ASC 815. The Company determined that certain warrants issued in 2004 contained provisions whereby the exercise price could be adjusted upon certain financing transactions at a lower price per share and could no longer be viewed as indexed to the Company’s common units. As such, the Company changed the accounting for these warrants to a “derivative” at fair value under ASC 815. As a result the Company recorded the warrant liability at the fair value of the warrants of $1,500,262 as of January 1, 2009. The cumulative effect on adoption of ASC 815-40 as of January 1, 2009 is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Members’ Equity | |
Balance—December 31, 2008 | | $ | 12,338,018 | |
Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle | | | (1,500,262 | ) |
| | | |
Balance—January 1, 2009 | | $ | 10,837,756 | |
| | | |
The derivative warrant liability is recorded at fair value in each subsequent reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of income. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model, which includes assumptions such as stock price, exercise price, expected volatility, dividend rate, risk-free interest rate and the contractual life of the warrant. As of December 31, 2009, the warrant liability was $1,172,883. The change in fair value of $327,379 is reflected in earnings.
Determination of the fair value of the warrants is classified within Level 3 of the FASB’s guidance regarding fair value.
Interest rate swap agreements:The Company is exposed to certain interest rate changes, and beginning in 2009, uses an interest rate swap to manage the risk associated with its floating rate long-term debt. As interest rates change, the differential paid or received is recognized in interest expense for the period. In addition, the change in the fair value of the swaps is recognized as interest expense or income during each reporting period. The fair value of the swap at December 31, 2009 was determined to be insignificant and therefore no asset or liability has been recorded.
The Company has not designated these interest rate swap agreements for hedge accounting treatment.
As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate notional amount of the swap agreements was $5.1 million, which will mature on March 31, 2014. The notional amount of the swap will decrease by $300,000 each quarter or $1,200,000 each year. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the interest rate swap agreements. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty. These interest rate swaps are classified within level 2 of the FASB’s guidance regarding fair value measurements.

Reclassification:Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2008 financial statements in order to conform to the December 31, 2009 financial statement presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on net income or members’ equity. Cost of goods sold has been increased and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $903,234 as compared to the amounts originally reported for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Subsequent events:In May 2009, the general standards of accounting established requirements for disclosure of events that occur after the date of the financial statements but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. These standards require the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The Company adopted this standard on December 31, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements. The Company has considered subsequent events through July 27, 2010, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, in preparing the financial statements and notes thereto.
Pending accounting pronouncements:In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05,Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,which provides guidance for the measurement of liabilities at fair value in the absence of observable market information. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06,Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements(ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures relating to transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, levels of disaggregation and valuation techniques. These disclosures are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Additional new disclosures regarding the purchase, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on financial statement disclosures.

Note 7. Members’ Equity
The Company’s common units are voting and are subject to certain restrictions on transfer. The Company will make annual distributions to members holding common units to cover their tax liability on distributable income. No other distributions are permitted to be made to the members holding common units until the preferred members have been fully paid.
The preferred units are nonvoting and have a 14 percent per annum cumulative yield. This preferred return is paid from distributable cash flow (as defined in the operating agreement). Payments of the preferred return are limited based on cash flows related to the Company’s agreements with its lender. During 2009 cash flow was not sufficient to distribute the entire preferred return for 2009. The aggregate unpaid preferred return is $1,510,421 as of December 31, 2009. If the Company has distributable cash flow after the lender and the preferred unit holders have been paid, the excess distributable cash flow can be used to redeem the preferred units, subject to certain restrictions defined in the loan agreement. There were no redemptions of preferred units during 2009 and 2008.
