INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
En Pointe Technologies Sales, Inc.
Gardena, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of En Pointe Technologies Sales, Inc. which comprise the balance sheets as of September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of En Pointe Technologies Sales, Inc. as of September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, 2013 AND 2012
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
En Pointe Technologies Sales, Inc. (the “Company”) is a solution provider of information technology products and a provider of value-added services to large and medium sized companies and government entities with sales personnel in 19 markets located in the United States. The Company is headquartered in Gardena, California and was incorporated in Delaware in 1997. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of En Pointe Technologies, Inc. (“the Parent”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all time deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash at September 30, 2014 represents deposits maintained for certain government tax agencies.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of merchandise being configured for customer orders and merchandise and software purchased by the Company that has been drop shipped but not yet received and accepted by the customer and are stated at the lower of cost (specific identification method) or market. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed and written down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated net realizable value. Adjustments to inventory reserves are recorded as cost of sales.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Assets acquired under capital lease arrangements are recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments and are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the asset or term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Such amortization expense is included in depreciation expense. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease terms or the useful lives of the improvements. Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.
The Company accounts for computer software costs developed for internal use by capitalizing certain qualifying costs during the application development stage of the related software development project and exclude the initial planning phase that determines performance requirements, most data conversion, general and administrative costs related to payroll and training costs. Whenever a software program is considered operational, the Company considers the project to be completed and places it into service and commences amortization of the development cost in the succeeding month.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the potential impairment of its long-lived assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. To date, the Company has not recognized an impairment charge related to the write-down of long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition
Net sales consist primarily of revenue from the sale of hardware, software, peripherals and service and support contracts. In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sales price charged is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.
Product is considered received and accepted by the customer only upon the customer’s receipt of the product from the carrier and acceptance thereof. Any undelivered product is included in inventory.
The majority of the Company’s sales relate to physical products and are recognized on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded as net sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales.
Sales are recorded on a net basis for software maintenance contracts, software agency fees and extended warranties where the Company is not the primary obligor.
Revenue from software license sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has been made, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Service revenues are recognized based on contracted hourly rates, as services are rendered or upon completion of specified contracted services and acceptance by the customer. Revenue from customer maintenance support agreements in which the Company is not the primary obligor is reported on a net basis and recognized at the time of the sale. Net sales consist of product and service revenues, less discounts and estimated allowances for sales returns. Cost of sales include the cost of products and services sold and current and estimated allowances for product returns that will not be accepted by our suppliers, less rebates.
Deferred revenues result mainly from services that may be performed over a one year period. Income is recognized on such contracts ratably over the period of the contract.
Marketable Securities and Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at their fair market value. Changes in the fair market value of marketable securities are recorded as other comprehensive income. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost of the securities when calculating the gain on sale of investment. The Company’s investment in ADSL stock is classified as current and is pledged under terms of the Company’s credit facility.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The categories are as follows:
Level 1 | quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
Level 2 | quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or |
Level 3 | unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. |
The following is a listing of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value as of September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and payable, accrued and other current liabilities, and current maturities of long-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturity. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term liabilities also approximates fair value based on interest rates currently available to the Company for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities.
Vendor Programs
We receive vendor incentives from our vendors in the form of cooperative marketing allowances, volume incentive rebates and other programs to support our marketing of their products. Most of our vendor consideration is accrued, when performance required for recognition is completed, as an offset to cost of sales in accordance with ASC 605-50, Revenue Recognition — Customer Payments and Incentives, since such funds are not a reimbursement of specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred by us in selling the vendors’ products. For costs that are considered to be a reimbursement of specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred by us in selling the vendors’ products, we accrue the vendor consideration as an offset to such costs in selling and marketing expenses.
Any amounts received from suppliers related to cooperative marketing development funds are deferred until earned. Incentive programs are subject to audits as to whether the requirements of the incentives were actually met. Requirements are subject to interpretations. The Company believes the requirements of the cooperative marketing development funds have been met. The Company believes adjustments, if any, from potential audits would not be material to the financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers, monitors collections and payments from customers, and generally does not require collateral. Receivables are generally due within 30 days. The Company provides for the possible inability to collect accounts receivable by recording an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company writes off an account when it is considered to be uncollectible. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience, aging of accounts receivable, and information regarding the creditworthiness of its customers. To date, losses have been within the range of management’s expectations.
Marketing and Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company reports the costs of all marketing activities, including advertising, in the periods in which those costs are incurred. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, marketing expense were approximately $970,000, $484,000 and $347,000, respectively. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of sales.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for deferred income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws which will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.
Income tax expense represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense. Interest and penalties were not material for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Accumulated amortization on assets under capitalized leases was $4,728,000, $6,446,000 and $4,112,000 at September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
3. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has an employee savings plan (the ‘‘401(k) Plan’’) that covers substantially all full-time employees who are twenty-one years of age or older. The Company’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and vest over five years of service. To date, the Company has made no contributions to the 401(k) Plan.
4. LINES OF CREDIT
The Company, Din Global Corp. (the ultimate parent and holder of 100% of the common stock of the Parent), EPN Acquisition, Inc. (which merged into the Parent on August 7, 2009), the Parent, and GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (“GE”) are parties to a Credit Facilities Agreement dated August 7, 2009 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for two credit facilities, a Revolving Loan facility that is limited to $40 million, and a Floor plan Loan facility that is limited to $35 million. The Parent and Din Global Corp. are guarantors of the obligations under the Agreements. Under the flooring arrangement, the Parent’s U.S. subsidiaries may purchase and finance information technology products from GE-approved vendors on terms that depend upon certain variable factors. Under the Revolving Loan agreement, the subsidiaries may borrow up to 85% of the Company’s collective eligible accounts receivable at an interest rate of LIBOR plus an incremental 4.75% per annum, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.0% (5.75% at September 30, 2014). Such purchases from GE-approved vendors have historically been on terms that allow interest-free flooring.
The Agreement requires that the following financial covenants be met for each calendar quarter as follows (as such terms are defined in the Agreement):
EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each fiscal quarter shall not be less than 1.5%
Annual capital expenditures will not exceed $ 10.0 million.
Funded debt to EBITDA ratio shall not exceed 3.5 to 1.0
At September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
The GE facility is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and substantially all other assets. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $26 million in borrowings were outstanding under the $75 million financing facility. At September 30, 2014, there were additional borrowings available of approximately $49 million after taking into consideration the borrowing limitations under the Agreements, as amended to date.
Since the Company replaced its working capital financing facility in June 2004, minimal interest expense has been incurred on borrowings under the line of credit because of the extended interest-free period under the flooring plan. In fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, such interest expense amounted to $445,000, $325,000 and $325,000. Total interest expense, including interest applied to capitalized leases, was $753,000, $717,000 and $710,000 for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the net deferred tax asset, management has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of such deferred tax asset.
The main components of the deferred tax asset are liabilities and allowances not deductible in the current year, and benefit of net operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by depreciation.
The provision for income taxes for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 differs from the amount of tax that would result from applying the federal statutory rate to the income before provision for income taxes, mainly due to the change in the valuation allowance, and the taxable income being offset against taxable loss in the consolidated tax returns.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various foreign jurisdictions and most states in the United States. The Company files consolidated tax returns with the Parent. The Company is subject to income tax examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for years ending on or after September 30, 2011. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by the State of California tax authorities for years ending on or after September 30, 2010. The Company’s net loss carry forwards are subject to examination until such time as the NOL’S are used and the tax year is closed.
The Company has adopted the accounting standards that clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, a company must recognize the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, a company may not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements.
Based on the investigation and review, the Company concluded that no uncertain tax positions exist on its tax returns for open years.
6. LONG-TERM LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash deposits are placed with a few financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions typically exceed the $250,000 Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.
Major Customers and Vendors
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
The Company contracts with various suppliers. Although there are a limited number of suppliers capable of supplying its inventory needs, the Company believes that any shortfalls from existing suppliers would be absorbed from other suppliers on comparable terms. However, a change in suppliers could cause a delay in sales and adversely affect results.
Purchases from the Company’s three largest vendors during the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, comprised 60%, 59% and 59% of its total purchases of products.
Sales Taxes
The Company is subject to sales tax examinations from all of the sales tax jurisdictions throughout the United States. Sales tax regulations are set by each state or local taxing authority and involve difficultly in their interpretation and application to all the variations in sales tax transactions that the Company incurs. Accordingly, the Company provides its best estimates as to any sales tax deficiency as soon as it becomes aware of such deficiency. Currently the Company is undergoing an examination by a state agency that receives a majority of the Company’s sales tax proceeds. The Company has accrued $0.4 million and management believes that the amount accrued will not differ materially from the final audit examination results.
Leases
The Company leases office facilities and various types of office equipment. These leases vary in duration and many contain renewal options and/or escalation clauses. Estimated future minimum lease payments under leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at September 30, 2014 were approximately as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense for the year ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, under all operating leases was approximately $730,000, $743,000 $679,000, respectively.
The Company also entered in short term borrowing agreements to finance accounts payable, trade totaling $1,677,000 of which $293,000 remains outstanding at September 30, 2014. Out of this balance $147,000 is due within the next twelve months.
Litigation
There are various claims and litigation proceedings in which the Company is involved in the ordinary course of business, including claims from former employees and subcontractors. The Company provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. While the outcome of the foregoing and other claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, after consulting with legal counsel, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any ongoing or pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
