Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
Winkler Atlantic Holdings Limited:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Winkler Atlantic Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholder’s deficit and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 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 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 financial position of Winkler Atlantic Holdings Limited and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

WINKLER ATLANTIC HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended February 28, 2007 and 2006
NOTE 1–SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Winkler Atlantic Holdings Limited (“Winkler”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Winkler has the following wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: (i) Saitek Industries Ltd. (“Saitek Hong Kong”), a corporation organized under the laws of Hong Kong, (ii) Saitek Industries Ltd. (“Saitek US”), a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware, (iii) Saitek Elektronik Vertriebs GmbH (“Saitek Germany”), a corporation organized under the laws of Germany, (iv) Saitek Plc (“Saitek UK”), a corporation organized under the laws of England and Wales, and (v) Saitek SA (“Saitek France”), a corporation organized under the laws of France (collectively referred to as “the Company”).
Saitek Hong Kong was a dormant company until December 1, 2006 when it was reactivated in contemplation of the sale of certain entities under the control of Winkler. Saitek Hong Kong provides certain product development and marketing services and sources products primarily from Saitek Electronic Manufacturing Services, an unconsolidated Company affiliated by common ownership, located in China, for the other subsidiaries. Prior to December 1, 2006, the business activity, revenue and profits of Saitek Hong Kong resided within Saitek Winkler Limited, an unconsolidated company affiliated by common ownership located in Hong Kong.
The Company’s products are designed, manufactured (primarily through third parties), marketed and distributed for both PC and console based video game systems. The Company’s products include mice, keyboards, headsets, PC gaming controllers, as well as other PC peripherals.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Winkler and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns; price protection; cooperative advertising and the valuation of fixed assets, inventories and investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is primarily concentrated in accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable because a majority of its customers are large, well capitalized, established retail entities with operations throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts. During the years ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, the Company derived 32% and 31% of its sales, respectively, from three major customers, which represented 53% and 58% of accounts receivable at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The loss of one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, due to and from affiliates, accrued liabilities and bank line of credit approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments. It is impracticable to determine fair value of the notes payable to shareholder because of the related party nature of the notes payable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt and equity instruments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
The Company evaluates its investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Based on the Company’s intent, investment policies and ability to liquidate equity securities, the Company classifies short-term investment securities as available-for-sale, within current assets which are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses

WINKLER ATLANTIC HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended February 28, 2007 and 2006
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholder’s deficit. The cost basis of securities sold is based on the specific identification method and all such realized gains and losses are recorded as a component within other income in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company reviews the carrying values of its investments and writes down such investments to estimated fair value by a charge to the statements of operations when the severity and duration of a decline in the value of an investment is considered to be other than temporary. The cost of securities sold or purchased is recorded on the settlement date.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and other sales related allowances. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company analyzes known uncollectible accounts, the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends.
Other sales related allowances include those for sales returns, volume rebates, price protection, and cooperative advertising. When estimating future product returns, the Company makes an assessment of the rate and lag period by which customers will return the Company’s products by considering historical trends and information regarding inventory levels and demand and acceptance of the Company’s products by the end consumer. Allowances for cooperative advertising and volume rebates are based upon programs negotiated with specific customers.
Accounts receivable allowances consist of the following (in thousands):
                                         
    Balance at the   Additions            
    Beginning of   Revenue   Expenses and Other           Balance at End of
Description   Period   Reductions (A)   Costs (B)   Deductions (C)   Period
YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2006
                                       
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
  $ (63 )   $     $ (98 )   $ 51     $ (110 )
Cooperative Advertising, Price Protection, Volume Rebate and Sales Returns
  $ (1,379 )   $ (5,717 )   $     $ 5,530     $ (1,566 )
 
                                       
YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2007
                                       
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
  $ (110 )   $     $ 23     $ 16     $ (71 )
Cooperative Advertising, Price Protection, Volume Rebate and Sales Returns
  $ (1,566 )   $ (6,513 )   $     $ 6,152     $ (1,927 )
 
(A)   Includes increases in allowances for sales returns, price protection, cooperative advertising and other sales allowances including volume discounts. Amounts reflect the translation effect of using the average exchange rate for the revenue reduction items and the year-end exchange rate for the balance sheet item (allowance account).
 
(B)   Includes increases and reversals in allowance for doubtful accounts. Amounts reflect the translation effect of using the average exchange rate for expense items and the year-end exchange rate for the balance sheet item (allowance account).
 
(C)   Includes actual write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable, net of recoveries (credits) issued for other sales allowances and the reversal of unused cooperative advertising funds.
Inventories
Inventories usually consists of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out method, or market. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and in the retail channel in order to recognize any loss of utility in the period incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company evaluates the recognition of revenue based on the applicable provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement with the customer exists, which is generally a customer purchase order, (2) the products are delivered, which occurs when the risk of loss has been transferred to the customer, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection of the customer receivable is deemed probable. The Company’s payment arrangements with customers typically provide net 30 day terms.
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling is included in net sales, and costs incurred related to shipping and handling is included in cost of sales.
Certain allowances for estimated future returns are provided upon recognition of revenue. We provide for anticipated returns of inventory in accordance with SFAS No. 48, Revenue Recognition When the Right of Return Exists, by reducing revenue for the units estimated to be returned. This estimate is periodically adjusted based on historical and anticipated rates of returns.
Cooperative advertising with retailers is recorded when revenue is recognized in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products). Such consideration is characterized as a reduction of sales as the Company does not receive a separate identifiable benefit and the fair value of the benefit cannot be reasonably estimated.

Years Ended February 28, 2007 and 2006
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets which range from two to thirteen years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease term. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized.
Long-lived Assets
The Company assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying value amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). As of February 28, 2007 and 2006, there were no impairments of
long-lived assets.
Research and Development and Advertising
Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $2.9 million and $2.0 million for the years ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cooperative advertising with retailers is recorded when revenue is recognized. Costs are recognized as a reduction of sales as the Company does not receive a separate identifiable benefit, and the fair value of the benefit cannot be reasonably estimated. Research and development costs amounted to $3.0 million and $2.9 million for the years ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company received reimbursements for certain product development expenses from an unconsolidated related party totaling $2.7 million and $3.3 million for the years ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The reimbursements were recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company also determines its tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The Company records estimated tax liabilities to the extent the contingencies are probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Years Ended February 28, 2007 and 2006
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s foreign subsidiaries utilize their local currency as their functional currency. The accounts of these foreign subsidiaries have been translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rate for the fiscal year for revenues and expenses. Cumulative translation gains or losses are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder deficit. Gains or losses resulting from transactions that are made in a currency different from the functional currency are recognized in earnings as they occur.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) represents net unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation adjustments and net unrealized gains and losses from investments in marketable securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an Interpretation of FASB SFAS Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to indicate a criterion that an individual tax position would have to meet for some or all of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an entity’s financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company believes that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operation.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was initially effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued staff position FAS No. 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159

-10-


 

WINKLER ATLANTIC HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended February 28, 2007 and 2006
is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. As described above, the Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 or SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible profits. In assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. As a result of this analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, management does not believe that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, the total net deferred tax asset of $8.1 million and $7.8 million at February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, respectively, has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $302,000 for the year ended February 28, 2007.
At February 28, 2007, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.7 million which will begin to expire in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2011, respectively. Additionally, the Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $21.7 million that have no expiration.

NOTE 10 — DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN CANADA
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In certain respects, U.S. GAAP differs from accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”). Under Canadian GAAP marketable securities are short term investments carried at the lower of cost or market. As such, unrealized holding gains would not be recognized under Canadian GAAP, however, there is no reconciling difference for the Company between reported net income under U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP for the year ended February 28, 2007. Also, Canadian GAAP does not recognize comprehensive income (loss) or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). However, the U.S. GAAP presentation of the foreign currency translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of shareholder’s deficit is consistent with Canadian GAAP. Other than the aforementioned there are no material differences in these consolidated financial statements between U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP.
NOTE 11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
