We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LED Holdings, LLC and subsidiary (the Company) as of August 31, 2007 and June 14, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity and cash flows for the period from June 14 to August 31, 2007. These consolidated 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 the 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LED Holdings, LLC and subsidiary as of August 31, 2007 and June 14, 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the period from June 14 to August 31, 2007, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

LED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
LED Holdings, LLC (the “Company” or “LED Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation organized in 2007 for the purpose of acquiring the net assets of LED Effects, Inc. and subsidiary (“LED Effects”) a Nevada Corporation formed in 1993. During the period June 14, 2007 through August 31, 2007, LED Holdings had one subsidiary, LED Effects KK (Japan) (“LED Japan”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
LED Holdings designs, engineer, manufactures and markets custom Light Emitting Diodes (“LED”) lighting and digital lighting controls for customers worldwide. Additionally, the Company is a certified value-added reseller for Phillips Solid State Lighting. The Company’s products are used for applications in architectural, special effects, display, stage, casino and theater lighting as well as components for video walls and slot machines. These systems use our own digital RGB control technology or industry standards such as CMX512.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, and are considered to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains balances in cash accounts which could exceed federally insured limits or in cash accounts that are not eligible for federal deposit insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining balances in such cash accounts. Management believes that the Company does not have significant credit risk related to its cash accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Account receivables are carried at the estimated net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. The amounts in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $299,952 and $321,713 at August 31, 2007 and June 14, 2007, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist of raw materials and components and work-in-process are stated at standard costs which approximate the First In, First Out (FIFO) method of pricing inventory. See Note 3.

 


 

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are carried at depreciated cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease.
Depreciation expense for the period was $4,262.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include purchased intangibles of Technology/Patents, Trademarks, Customer Relations and Software. These assets have finite lives and are amortized over those lives which range from 5 years to 20 years. The Company also recorded Goodwill an intangible asset with an indeterminate life. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets are not amortized. Amortization of the assets begins in the first full month following their acquisition. See Note 6.
Amortization expense for the period was $173,862.
Impairment
The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The review includes an assessment of industry factors, contract retentions, cash flow projections and other factors the Company believes are relevant.
Sales
The majority of the Company’s sales are based on projects that have a term of less than 3 months. These product sales are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Where sales of product are subject to certain customer acceptance terms, revenue from the sale is recognized once these terms have been met.
As of the date of this report, the Company has no reason to believe that an allowance for material product returns is necessary.
Research and Development
The Company expenses all research and development costs as part of its normal on-going daily activities and is not segregated into specific identifiable activities. Research and development includes amounts for design prototypes and modifications made to existing prototypes, as incurred, except for prototypes that have alternative future uses. Costs incurred for building of production tooling and molds are capitalized and usually charged to the customer as part of the project. The Company does not provide for a separate designation for costs incurred in research and development.
Concentration of Credit Risk
A relatively limited number of customers account for a large percentage of the Company’s total sales. For the period June 14, 2007 through August 31, 2007, two customers represented sales of 10% or greater than the total consolidated sales. The sales to these customers accounted for approximately 25% and 18% of the total sales for the period. These customers also accounted for approximately 28% and 19%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable as of August 31, 2007. The Company closely monitors the credit risk associate with its customers
Members’ Equity
The Company records stock issuance expenses as a reduction of the total value of the equity securities issued. At August 31, 2007 and June 14, 2007, the Company had recorded $764,872 as stock, issuance expenses. These costs were related to the issue of Class A Common Stock and have been recorded as a reduction of the value of the Class A Common Stock.

 


 

NOTE 2: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107 — Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments.

NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 4, 2007, LED Holdings entered into an Exchange and Contribution Agreement with Lighting Science Group Corporation (“Lighting Science) pursuant to which LED Holdings transferred and assigned substantially all of its assets including, among other things, $15,000,000, 180 shares of common stock of LED Effects Japan KK, 200 shares of common stock of Kabushiki Kaisha LED Systems, leases, equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, contracts, permits, records, and intellectual property to Lighting Science in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of Lighting Science’s newly designated Series B Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share and 318,574,665 shares of Lighting Science’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and collectively with the Series B Stock, the exchange consideration representing 70% of the fully-diluted capital stock of Lighting Science and 80% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of Lighting Science as of October 4, 2007.
