INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
U.S Graphic Arts, Inc.
Tempe, AZ
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of U.S. Graphic Arts as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ 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 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 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 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 U.S. Graphic Arts, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
| 1. | BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of U. S. Graphic Arts, Inc. (“U.S. Graphics” or the “Company”).
The Company was established in 1979 and is primarily engaged in developing and manufacturing digital printing equipment to the decorated apparel industry. The equipment and value added products sold by the Company are widely used by screenprinters, large and small manufacturers of apparel and fashion accessories, retail stores and entrepreneurs servicing specialized niche markets.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| a. | Revenue Recognition – The Company manufactures and sells digital printing equipment. Where installation and customer acceptance are a substantive part of the sale, by its terms, the Company defers recognition of the revenue until such customer’s acceptance of installation has occurred. In 2007, most sales of new equipment did not require installation as a substantive part of its sales and accordingly; these sales were recorded at the time of shipment. |
| b. | Cash and Equivalents – The Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid debt securities with insignificant interest rate risk with original maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less. Financial Instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts of each United States financial institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. |
| c. | Allowance for Possible Losses – The Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. An estimate of uncollectible amounts is made by management based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition and current economic trends. |
| d. | Inventories – Inventories consisting of machines and parts are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for machinery is determined by specific identification and for all other items on a first-in, first-out weighted average basis. |
| e. | Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Capitalized values of property under leases are amortized over the life of the lease or the estimated life of the asset, whichever is less. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line or declining balance method over the following estimated useful lives: |
| | Years |
Furniture and fixtures | | 3-7 |
Computers and Software | | 3 |
Machinery and equipment | | 3-10 |
Automobiles | | 5 |
| f. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of these assets may not be |
8
recoverable. In that regard the Company will assess the recoverability of such assets based upon estimated undiscounted cash flow forecasts.
| g. | Warranty – The Company has a one-year limited warranty policy for its new machines. The Company’s policy is to accrue the estimated cost of satisfying future warranty claims. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty. |
| h. | Leases – Leases (in which the Company is lessee) which transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as capital leases, and assets and liabilities are recorded at amounts equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased properties at the beginning of the respective lease terms. Leases which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and the related rentals are charged to expense as incurred on a straight line basis. |
| i. | Advertising – All advertising costs are expensed are incurred. Advertising expense was $931 in 2007. |
| j. | Comprehensive Income – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130. “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS 130”) is equivalent to the Company’s net loss for 2007. |
| k. | Income taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the future tax consequences of transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. |
| l. | Liquidity – At December 31, 2007, the Company has sustained a loss from operations which resulted in negative working capital. Due to these circumstances the Company did not have adequate working capital. On August 3, 2008, 80% of the Company was sold to Hirsch International Corp. (see Note 8 to the financial statements). |
| m. | Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| n. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, trade account receivables, accounts payable and debt obligations. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flow and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of credit risk, at December 31, 2007, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated the carrying value. |
| o. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following: |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
9
between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB provided a one-year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Asset and Financial Liability: Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). The standard permits all entities to elect to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which requires an acquirer to do the following: expense acquisition related costs as incurred; to record contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date with subsequent changes in fair value to be recognized in the income statement; and any adjustments to the purchase price allocation are to be recognized as a period cost in the income statement. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the firstannual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS 141R will effect the accounting for future acquisitions, if any.
In December, 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective prospectively, except for certain retrospective disclosure requirements, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FASB No. 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”)” is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 for non-public entities. FIN 48 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 FIN 48, 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 the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company is evaluating the effects of FIN 48 for the 2008 fiscal year, but it does not believe that it has a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
