Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors
Boss Holdings, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boss Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 26, 2009 and December 27, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 26, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule 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 provided 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 Boss Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 26, 2009 and December 27, 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 26, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Boss Holdings, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 26, 2009 included in the accompanying management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting in Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of business:
 
Boss Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the import, marketing, and distribution of gloves, boots, rainwear, pet supplies and specialty lighting products, as well as custom imprinting of inflatable and other products for the advertising specialties industry. Customers, located throughout the world, include retailers ranging from convenience stores to mass merchandisers and various commercial users. The Company sells its products primarily through distributors and manufacturer’s representatives.
 
Significant accounting policies:
 
Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boss Holdings, Inc. (“BHI”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Boss Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“BMHI”) (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
 
Fiscal year: The Company maintains a 52/53-week year ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. Each of fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 contained 52 weeks.
 
Use of estimates in the 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 disclosures 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 these estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, time deposits, and liquid debt instruments such as commercial paper with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.
 
Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
 
An account is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is past due more than 60 days. The provision for bad debts charged to expense was $76, $96 and $65 for the years ended 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Marketable securities: The Company classifies marketable equity securities as trading or available for sale securities, as defined by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 320. In accordance with the provisions of the codification, marketable securities are stated at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses included in operations for trading securities and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for available for sale securities.
 
The Company’s marketable equity securities, classified as trading, are held in trust under a deferred compensation arrangement, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of shipment based on standard terms of FOB shipping point, with title passing to the customer at time of shipment. Management records estimated reductions to revenue for various customer programs and incentive offerings primarily in the consumer market of the work gloves and protective wear segment. These programs include the following:
  • Rebates and other volume-based incentives – The Company records a revenue reduction and associated accrued liability each period based on the estimated rebate total. Rebates paid are then charged to the accrued liability. Each quarter, management compares the accrued liability balance to the estimated rebates payable compiled for all customers and makes adjustments as appropriate to revenues and the accrued rebate liability.
     
  • Terms discounts – the Company offers cash discounts to certain customers, recorded as revenue reductions in each period with an associated accounts receivable allowance. Management periodically analyzes this allowance account to ensure its adequacy, adjusting sales and the accounts receivable allowance when appropriate.
     
  • Cooperative advertising and marketing allowances – the Company supports certain customer advertising and marketing initiatives to promote product sales at retail. In many cases, customers advertise Company products using mutually agreed specifications such as the Boss logo and trade names, with the Company then reimbursing a portion of the advertising cost incurred by the customer. The Company also supports various other advertising and marketing initiatives to promote sales. All such costs are treated as a reduction of revenues for accounting purposes.
     
  • To a lesser extent, the Company occasionally utilizes additional incentives to increase market share such as buying back a competitor’s inventory from a new customer, offering conversion allowances and providing other new customer incentives. Such methods are common in certain retail industry channels. All such costs are treated as a reduction of revenues for accounting purposes.
As of December 26, 2009, the Company’s accrual for customer advertising and promotional activities totaled $890. The Company has received no material allowances or credits from any vendors in connection with the purchase or promotion of such vendor’s products.
 
Cost of sales: The Company’s cost of sales expense includes all costs incident to purchasing goods for sale, transporting them from the supplier to Company facilities, warehousing and shipping goods to the customer. Such costs include product cost, inbound freight, duty, brokerage fees and storage costs as well as shipping and handling costs associated with outbound shipments to customers.
 
Warranty costs and returns: The Company provides for estimated warranty costs and returns at the time of sale. Accrued costs of warranty obligations and returns are classified as accrued liabilities and are immaterial to the financial statements as a whole.
 
Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using primarily the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company provides estimated inventory allowances for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value. Inventories consist of finished goods for the periods presented.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Property and equipment and depreciation: Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost. The Company provides for depreciation generally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
 
      Years
Machinery and equipment 10
Office furniture and equipment 3 - 10
Buildings and improvements 10 - 39

Depreciation expense was $482, $491 and $492 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Goodwill and other intangibles: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, goodwill is not amortized and, instead, is evaluated for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its impairment test in December each year. Other intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated useful life (see Note 9).
 
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made (see Note 9).

Fair value of financial instruments: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. Additionally the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
  • Level 1 -- Quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  • Level 2 – Market data or inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
     
  • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America also permit companies to irrevocably choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. These standards have also established presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value.
 
The following table provides information on those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Concentrations of credit risk: The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.
 
The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“F.D.I.C.”) has temporarily expanded its insurance of cash balances up to $250 per bank. The combined account balances at each institution periodically exceed the F.D.I.C. coverage resulting in a concentration of credit risk for the amounts on deposit in excess of $250. The Company’s management does not believe this credit risk is significant, as they do not anticipate non-performance of the financial institutions.
 
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the diversity of the Company’s customer base. The Company’s management has established certain credit requirements that its customers must meet before sales credit is extended. The Company generally does not require collateral, but monitors the financial condition of its customers to help ensure collections and to minimize losses. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses related to accounts receivable from individual customers or from groups of customers in any geographic area.
 
Foreign currency translation: Financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars using fiscal year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates during the year for the results of operations. Translation adjustments of the Canadian accounts are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive earnings within stockholders’ equity. Exchange rate adjustments related to foreign currency transactions are recognized in comprehensive income.
 
Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for stock options using the tax-law-ordering approach which recognizes an excess tax benefit when a stock option deduction is used on the company’s tax return, before an NOL or another tax attribute. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
 
Advertising costs: The Company generally expenses the cost of advertising the first time advertising takes place. Costs of trade shows and developing advertising materials are expensed at the time of the trade shows or as the advertising materials are produced and distributed to customers. Advertising expense for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $459, $789 and $818, respectively.
 
Stock based compensation: The Company calculates stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards is made as of their respective dates of grant using that option pricing model and is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as a number of subjective assumptions. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. These factors, as they pertain to future grants, could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods.

Recent accounting pronouncements:
 
In June 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Standard No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS168 replaces the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) with two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. On July 1, 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All other non-grandfathered accounting literature became non-authoritative. The adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 168, all references to GAAP now refer to the codified ASC topic.
 
In September 2006, ASC Topic 820 was issued which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC Topic 820 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, ASC Topic 855 was issued which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. We adopted ASC Topic 855 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications: Certain items on the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007 have been reclassified to be consistent with classifications adopted during the year ended December 26, 2009. The reclassifications had no effect on net income of the Company.

Note 8. Acquisitions
 
Canadawide Safety, Inc:
 
On May 18, 2007, Boss Canada Inc. (“Boss Canada”), an indirect subsidiary of Boss Holdings, Inc. (“BHI”), purchased all outstanding shares of privately held Navillus Group Inc., an Ontario corporation. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Canadawide Safety Inc. (“Canadawide”), the acquired company imports and distributes safety goods and industrial work wear, including gloves, protective eyewear, face and respiratory protection, as well as first aid and industrial supplies. Immediately following the closing, Canadawide and Navillus Group Inc. were merged with Canadawide as the surviving entity.
 
The base purchase price was $400 Canadian dollars (approximately US$364), with $350 Canadian dollars due on closing and $50 Canadian dollars due on May 18, 2008. Boss Canada utilized a term loan of $400 Canadian dollars provided through the Canadian branch of BHI’s primary lender to acquire the shares and pay down $50 Canadian dollars of assumed debt. At the same time, Boss Canada entered into a $100 Canadian dollars line of credit for working capital requirements.
 
This transaction was accounted for using purchase accounting and has been included in the Company’s operations since the date of acquisition. The estimated allocation of purchase price is as follows in US dollars:
 
Aquisition cost:         
     Base purchase price   $ 364  
          Closing Costs     19  
               Total   $ 383

AGA:
 
In November of 2009, Galaxy Balloons acquired certain assets of AGA Balloons for a total cash consideration of $406. Inventory accounted for $18 of the purchase, fixed assets accounted for $88, customer list accounted for $250 and non-compete accounted for the remaining $50. $388 of the purchase was paid in cash with the remaining balance of $18 to be paid in 2010.
 
Note 9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
In connection with its purchases of Galaxy during 2004, Head-Lite, LLC., during 2005, and Canadawide during 2007, the Company recorded goodwill of $3,666. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the business acquired. The Company does not amortize the goodwill associated with these acquisitions since it has an indefinite life. Instead, management tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or if certain circumstances indicate the existence of a possible impairment. Management’s impairment test considers the carrying value of the reporting unit for each acquisition, including goodwill, in relation to its fair value based upon earnings generated. Expected earnings are calculated based on a discounted cash flow methodology. The determination of the reporting units is based on the Company’s organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by management. The affected reporting units are the Galaxy, BMC and Boss Canada divisions for the Galaxy, Head-Lite and Canadawide acquisitions, respectively.
 
The Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation as of December 27, 2008 indicated that the goodwill for the Galaxy acquisition was not impaired, while the goodwill for Head-Lite LLC and Canadawide was found to be impaired. When the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit, a second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. This step requires valuation of a reporting unit’s tangible and intangible assets, and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. Based on that step, management concluded that, no fair value remains for the goodwill of the Head-Lite, LLC. and the Canadawide acquisitions. Therefore, goodwill impairment losses of $527 and $230 were recognized during 2008 in the work gloves and protective wear segment. These expenses have been recorded in the asset impairment loss on the consolidated statements of income. After the impairment losses, $2,853 in goodwill remained at year-end 2008 related to the Galaxy acquisition.
 
In 2008, the Company determined that an impairment evaluation was also required for Head-Lite’s patent, based on a sharp decline in an historical downward trend of sales for the Head-Lite product line. The impairment analysis performed as of December 27, 2008 indicated that the patent was fully impaired, resulting in an impairment loss of $35. This expense was also recorded in the asset impairment loss on the consolidated statements of income.
 
The Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation as of December 26, 2009 indicated that the goodwill for the Galaxy acquisition was not impaired.
 
The Company’s evaluations used significant assumptions by reporting unit, which is a company division, including: expected future revenue and expense growth rates, cost of capital, discount rate and forecasted capital expenditures.

Note 9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued)
 
The projections for the Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation as of December 26, 2009 assume a decline in operating income in 2010 followed by a slow recovery based on the general economic downturn and expectations of the economic recovery. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and may be subjective. They can be affected by a variety of external and internal factors. Management believes the assumptions and estimates made in these evaluations were reasonable and appropriate, however, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the projected earnings.
 
Note 10. Income Taxes
 
The Company records income taxes based on its consolidated tax return. Current and deferred federal and state tax expense (benefit) is as follows:

Because of losses in prior years, the Company has available, for U.S. income tax purposes, NOL carryforwards of approximately $22,483. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company reevaluated its estimates and, based upon its current and projected profitability determined that it was more likely than not that it would be able to utilize an additional $2,206 of its remaining NOL carryforwards. Accordingly, at the end of 2009 the Company reduced its valuation allowance and recognized a $750 tax benefit. As of December 26, 2009, the Company had operating loss carryforwards for U.S. income tax purposes of $22,483 available to reduce future taxable income through the following years:

Note 10. Income Taxes (Continued)
 
On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted FASB guidance related to, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This guidance clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. The guidance also prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
As of December 26, 2009 the remaining amount of the reserve related to uncertain tax positions was $15. During 2009, approximately $1 was utilized for settlements with state taxing authorities. The Company is generally no longer subject to state, local and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2005, and no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2006. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes. All unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits includes accrued interest for tax positions, which either do not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold or where the tax benefit is measured at an amount less than the tax benefit claimed or expected to be claimed on an income tax return.
 
Note 11. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
FASB ASC Topic 220, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The guidance requires that all items required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income must be disclosed in the financial statements.
 
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which for the Company is comprised of foreign currency items and the unrealized gains and losses on the interest rate swap agreements, net of income taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the following:
