Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of
Directors
Boss Holdings, Inc.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) |
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.

Earnings per share: Basic net earnings per common share is
based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net earnings per common share is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares,
including options outstanding during the period.
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.

Licensing:
During 2002, the
Company entered into a license agreement for the use of certain trademarks in
its products which requires the payment of guaranteed or minimum royalties. The
Company incurred royalties of $329, $341 and $306 in 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The Company has extended the agreement with provisions for the
payment of guaranteed or minimum royalties of $250 in 2010.
Litigation:
The Company is a
party to various legal actions incident to the normal operation of its business.
These lawsuits primarily involve claims for damages arising out of commercial
disputes. The Company has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits alleging
past exposure to asbestos contained in gloves manufactured or sold by one of the
Company’s predecessors-in-interest, all of which actions are being defended by
one or more of the Company’s products liability insurers. Management believes
the ultimate disposition of these matters should not materially impact the
Company’s consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.
Note 5. Stock Options
The Company
adopted two stock option plans in 1998 providing for the issuance of options
covering up to 425,000 shares of common stock to be issued to officers,
directors, or consultants to the Company. In 2004, an equity-based incentive
program was adopted allowing the issuance of up to 150,000 shares of common
stock in the form of any of the following: stock options, stock appreciation
rights, performance based stock awards and restricted stock units. Various
vesting conditions apply to these options, based on either tenure or certain
performance criteria. Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

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: | ||||

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.

NOL carryforwards of approximately $22,483. During the fourth quarter of 2009,

profitability determined that it was more likely than not that it would be able

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

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:
