Report of Independent Public Accountants
 
To the Board of Directors
of BeAtHome, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of BeAtHome, Inc. (a North Dakota corporation) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years 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 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BeAtHome, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BeAtHome, Inc.
 
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
 
1.    Organization of the Company
 
BeAtHome, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in June 1999 primarily for the purpose of designing, developing, manufacturing and selling internet-based home automation systems. The Company operates in one segment and provides a flexible, scalable infrastructure to manage, control and gather information from devices in the home, buildings and remote sites.
 
The Company was in the development stage until September 1, 2000, at which point, it began to generate revenue from the sale of its products and services. The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with companies at a similar stage of development, including, but not limited to: a history of losses; undetermined market acceptance; competition from larger, more established companies; volatility of the industry and rapid technological change; dependence on key manufacturers and key personnel and the ability to obtain adequate funding to support its working capital needs and future growth.
 
On January 31, 2002, the Company was acquired by Echelon Corporation (“Echelon”), a company headquartered in San Jose, California, which is a developer of LonWorks hardware and software products. Prior to the acquisition, the Company borrowed approximately $3.5 million in cash from Echelon, which was used to fund operations and pay off certain of its outstanding debt obligations. These loans were forgiven upon the completion of the acquisition. In addition, the Company received approximately $2.0 million in cash in exchange for all of its outstanding stock.
 
On January 21, 2002 (prior to the acquisition by Echelon), the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and recapitalized the Company as follows:
 
 
 
Amended its Articles of Incorporation to issue 4,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value voting common stock, 400,000 shares of $0.01 par value Series A preferred stock, 400,000 shares of $0.01 par value Series B preferred stock and 200,000 shares of $0.01 par value Series C preferred stock. Each series of preferred stock shall have all the same rights and preferences as the common stock, except that the holders of the Series A, B and C preferred stock shall have a liquidation and merger consideration preference (of equal priority among all series) of $4.00, $8.00 and $10.00 per share, respectively.
 
 
 
Each share of common stock originally issued by the Company at $4.00 per share was converted into one share of Series A preferred stock, resulting in the conversion of 304,200 shares of common stock into 304,200 shares of Series A preferred stock.
 
 
 
Each share of common stock originally issued by the Company at $8.00 per share was converted into one share of Series B preferred stock, resulting in the conversion of 372,175 shares of common stock into 372,175 shares of Series A preferred stock.
 
 
 
Each share of common stock originally issued by the Company at $10.00 per share was converted into one share of Series C preferred stock, resulting in the conversion of 91,750 shares of common stock into 91,750 shares of Series C preferred stock.
 
 
 
All outstanding options to purchase common stock were purchased by the Company at $0.02 per share resulting in the purchase and termination of options to purchase 329,265 shares of common stock in exchange for $6,585 paid to the option holders. In addition, the Stock Option Plan was terminated.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
 
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 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.
 
Statements of Cash Flows
 
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist solely of funds held in general checking accounts and money market accounts.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. When required, provisions are made to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable value. Inventories consist of the following (net of reserves):

Property and Equipment
 
Depreciation is provided on property and equipment using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the corresponding lease term or the estimated useful life.
 
Accrued Liabilities
 
Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the value and period of amortization and depreciation of long-lived assets. During this review, the significant assumptions used in

8


BeAtHome, Inc.
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

determining the original cost of long-lived assets are re-evaluated. Although the assumptions may vary from transaction to transaction, they generally include operating results, cash flows and other indicators of value.
 
Management then determines whether there has been a permanent impairment of the value of long-lived assets by comparing future estimated undiscounted cash flows to the asset’s carrying value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, a loss is recorded as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over fair value. The Company recorded $125,000 and $ -0- as write-downs for the impairment of long-lived assets in the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from the sale of its products. Product revenues consist of revenues from hardware sales. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable and there are no post-delivery obligations. For hardware sales, these criteria are generally met at the time of shipment to the customer. Service revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.
 
Service revenue consists primarily of fees received from customer support and installation services. During 2001, the Company entered into a software development agreement whereby the Company is to provide hardware and software development support services. Under the agreement, of which no revenue has been recognized, the customer has the right to receive a full refund of all payments made to the Company if the development services are not completed on a timely basis. At December 31, 2001, all amounts that were received under this agreement have been classified in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet as amounts were subsequently refunded and all expenses have been classified as costs of service in the accompanying statement of operations.
 
One customer accounted for 7% and 44% of total revenues for 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
Software Development Costs
 
Under the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the product. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgement by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technology. Amounts that could have been capitalized under this statement after consideration of the above factors were immaterial and, therefore, no software development costs have been capitalized by the Company to date.
 
Stock Compensation
 
The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” As allowed under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company has continued to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and the related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. See Note 9 for a summary of the disclosure provisions under SFAS No. 123.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the long-lived assets to be held and used, and disposed of. The Statement will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Although the Company does not currently expect the adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a material impact on its financial statements, the Company will continue to assess any impairment of its long-lived assets.

3.    Development Fund Loans
 
In May 2000, the Company entered into a development fund loan agreement with the North Dakota Development Fund for capital expenditures. In April 2001, the Company entered into a second development fund loan agreement for capital expenditures. The loans are secured by the Company’s office equipment, computers, furniture, software and related equipment and mature in June 2003 and April 2004, respectively. Interest on the loans is 7% and is payable monthly. As of December 31, 2001, the total balance outstanding on both loans was $195,242, which is classified as being current since both loans were renegotiated in January 2002. The loans contain certain financial covenants which the Company was not in compliance with as of December 31, 2001. The outstanding balance was fully repaid as of January 31, 2002.
 
4.    Equipment Notes Payable
 
In June 2000, the Company entered into a contract manufacturing agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the contract manufacturer designed tooling machinery necessary to manufacture the specified product in exchange for a $250,000 note issued by the Company. The agreement calls for principal and interest to be paid off in $25 increments that are added to the first 11,880 units ordered. Interest on the note is 9% per annum. In the event that the Company does not purchase a sufficient number of units to recover the entire amount of principal and interest within two years of the agreement, the Company has six months to pay the remaining balance.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2001 and 2000; risk-free interest rates of 3.03 – 6.60 percent; expected dividend yield of zero percent; expected lives of 4 years; expected volatility of zero percent as the Company is a private entity.
 
The weighted average fair value of option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $1.23 and $1.50 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
10.    Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the current applicable enacted income tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,753,000 for both Federal and state income tax reporting purposes, which expire in various periods through 2021. Under current tax law, net operating loss carryforwards available in any given year may be limited upon the occurrence of certain events, including significant changes in ownership interests, such as an IPO or acquisition.
 
A valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire deferred tax asset as a result of uncertainties regarding the realization of the asset, including limited operating history of the Company, the lack of profitability to date and the uncertainty over future operating profitability and taxable income.
 
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had no significant deferred tax liabilities.
