Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
C&C Partners, Ltd.:
(A California Subchapter S Corporation)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of C&C Partners, Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, 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 generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 C&C Partners, Ltd. as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

C&C PARTNERS, LTD.
(A California Subchapter S Corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Description of Business
C&C Partners, Ltd. (the Company) is a Subchapter S Corporation under the laws of the State of California that designs, produces, markets, and distributes men’s, women’s, and children’s footwear and accessories bearing the “Sanuk” tradename. The Company sells its products to customers throughout the United States and its territories, and to foreign distributors located in Canada and various European countries. The Company obtained certain rights to the “Sanuk” tradename pursuant to the terms of a licensing agreement, which expires on December 31, 2019.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns; and the valuation of fixed assets and inventory.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2010.
(d) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
(e) Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company is subject to significant concentrations of credit risk, primarily from amounts due from factor, accounts receivable, and cash. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash was held at a third-party financial institution located in the United States. At December 31, 2010 and at various times throughout the year then ended, the Company had bank deposits that exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company did not experience any losses or lack of access to its cash during the year ended December 31, 2010.
The Company assigns most of its account receivables to a third-party factor, who assumes the credit risk with respect to the collection of nonrecourse amounts. The factor evaluates each customer in determining credit limits. Sales shipped in excess of these credit limits or to customers who do not meet certain factor credit criteria may be assigned to the factor with recourse.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness. The Company maintains an allowance

C&C PARTNERS, LTD.
(A California Subchapter S Corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of its customers to make required payments. An estimate of uncollectible amounts is made by management based on historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition, and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Receivables are written off in the year deemed uncollectible after efforts to collect the receivables were proven unsuccessful.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO).
(g) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $150,000.
(h) Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.
(i) �� Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when merchandise is shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales, and the related costs are included in cost of sales.
Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statement of income.
(j) Advertising and Promotion Costs
The Company’s advertising and promotion programs include athlete sponsorships, event sponsorship, print advertisements, point of purchase and other giveaways, and online marketing, all of which are expensed when incurred. Advertising and promotion costs totaled approximately $1,044,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and are included in operating expenses.
(Continued)
C&C PARTNERS, LTD.
(A California Subchapter S Corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
(k) Major Maintenance Activities
Repairs and maintenance costs on equipment are expensed as incurred.
(l) Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code for both federal and state purposes. Under these provisions, the Company does not pay corporate income taxes on their taxable income, but is subject to a 1.5% California franchise tax. Stockholders are liable for federal and state income taxes on the Company’s taxable income. The Company may distribute to the stockholders funds necessary to satisfy their estimated personal income tax liabilities.
(m) Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
(2) Significant Risk and Uncertainties, Including Business Concentrations
The Company’s success is largely dependent upon its ability to gauge the fashion tastes of its targeted consumers and provide merchandise that satisfies consumer demand. Any inability to provide appropriate merchandise in sufficient quantities in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, and financial condition.
The Company’s operations are subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations; customs, duties, and related fees; various import controls and other nontariff barriers; restrictions on the transfer of funds; strikes and labor unrest; and social, economic, climatic, or political instability.
The Company’s production is concentrated at a limited number of independent contractor factories in China. In 2010, the Company primarily worked with two independent agents who coordinated production at and payments to the various factories. Inventory purchases made from these two agents comprised approximately 66% and 10% of total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2010, amounts due to the larger of the two agents totaled approximately $4,387,000 and are included in accounts payable. The Company also uses a third-party logistics company to import goods procured from the primary agent. Amounts paid to this company for customs, duty, freight, and related fees totaled approximately 10% of total inventory purchases for the year ended December 31, 2010. Amounts due to this company at December 31, 2010 totaled approximately $316,000 and are included in accounts payable.
(3) Factoring Agreement
The Company has a factoring agreement with CIT Commercial Services (CIT) to sell to CIT all of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable at the gross amount of such receivables, less any discounts and allowances. The factoring agreement may be terminated by either party by giving written notice of no less

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
than 60 days. CIT is responsible for the servicing and administration of the accounts receivables purchased. Receivables assigned to CIT are generally nonrecourse; however, at the Company’s request, CIT does purchase certain receivables with recourse, which may be subject to additional fees. All purchased receivables are subject to full recourse to the Company in the event of nonpayment by the customer due to any reason other than credit risk. Open receivables purchased by CIT with recourse totaled approximately $924,000 at December 31, 2010 and are included in accounts and other receivables. Total receivables purchased by CIT totaled approximately $5,248,000 and are included in accounts and other receivables.
CIT may, at the Company’s request, make advances to the Company against purchased accounts receivable, subject to any reserves deemed necessary by CIT as security for payment and performance of any and all of the Company’s obligations. For the year ended December 31, 2010, up to 90% of the value of purchased accounts receivable was available for advances. The Company may also borrow up to $2,500,000 against eligible inventory. The Company granted CIT a lien on and security interest in substantially all of its assets.
The interest rate charged by CIT on advances or borrowings is equal to the Chase Prime Rate, as defined in the factoring agreement, which was 3.25% at December 31, 2010. Prior to May 1, 2010, the interest rate charged by CIT on advances and borrowings was the Chase Prime Rate (as defined) plus 1.00%. The Company also pays to CIT a factoring fee equal to 0.50% of purchased accounts receivable. Prior to May 1, 2010, the factoring fee charged by CIT was equal to 0.75% of purchased accounts receivable.
The Company accounts for the sale of accounts receivable under the CIT factoring agreement as a secured borrowing with a pledge of the subject receivables as collateral, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 860, Transfers and Servicing.
(4) Inventories
At December 31, 2010, inventories consist of finished goods, of which approximately $3,010,000 is in-transit.

during the year ended December 31, 2010. Amounts due to the affiliated company were $1,089,764 at December 31, 2010.
(8) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company pays royalties on “Sanuk” brand sales at percentages ranging from 2% to 5%. In addition, the Company is required to spend a minimum amount on advertising for, and marketing and promoting of, the “Sanuk” brand, based on a percentage of net sales. Any amounts spent on advertising, marketing, and promotion in excess of the required amount are shared equally by the Company and the “Sanuk” brand licensor.

December 31, 2010
(c) Litigation
In November 2010, the Company was contacted by the legal counsel of a former Canadian distributor, claiming breach of contract for failing to provide proper notice of termination of its then existing oral agreement. The distributor claimed damages in the sum of $638,778, but was unclear as to whether this amount was in U.S. or Canadian dollars. In subsequent discussions with the distributor and its attorney, the claim was reduced to $540,017 Canadian dollars (approximately $540,000 U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2010). In February 2011, the Company advised the distributor that its claims were rejected in their entirety. No further action has been taken in this matter, nor has the distributor made any additional demands since this date. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the range of possible loss is $0 to $540,000.
(9) Retirement Savings Plan
The Company has a defined contribution plan (the Plan) intended to qualify for 401(k) tax status and covers all employees who are a minimum of 21 years of age with six months of service with the Company. The Company’s contributions to the Plan are made at management’s discretion and totaled approximately $28,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
(10) Subsequent Events
On May 19, 2011, the stockholders and the owners of the “Sanuk” brand licensor entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell the “Sanuk” brand to Deckers Outdoor Corporation. The agreement is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The purchase price for the assets of both the Company and the “Sanuk” brand licensor is an initial payment of $120,000,000 in cash subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and includes additional participation payments based on the “Sanuk” brand’s performance over the next five years.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through June 30, 2011, the date at which the financial statements were available to be issued, and determined there are no other subsequent events to disclose.
