Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Managers of EMDSI-Hunt Power, LLC

Harvey, Louisiana:

 

We have audited the balance sheets of EMDSI-Hunt Power, LLC as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity 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. 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. 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 EMDSI-Hunt Power, LLC as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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.

EMDSI-HUNT POWER, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

EMDSI-Hunt Power, LLC (the Company) is a Delaware Limited Liability Company. On October 31, 2008, ITOCHU International acquired majority ownership in the Company. At that time, the Louisiana Limited Liability Company of EMDSI-Hunt Power, LLC and its subsidiaries (EMDSI-Hunt, LLC and EMD Services International, LLC) were merged into the Delaware company.

 

EMDSI-Hunt Power, LLC is a power products distributor for Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc., (formerly a division of General Motors) the manufacturer of diesel engines and power products. The Company’s distributorship territory includes Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim for all power product applications. It is also the distributor for marine applications in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Central and South America territories. The Company specializes in sales and service of EMD diesel engines, and it inventories EMD power-related parts and equipment and provides EMD mechanical and electrical services including new installations, replacements, repairs, maintenance, and inspection for its customers.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 contingencies 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.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is determined using the average cost method. The company maintains a reserve for obsolete inventory based on its inventory aging reports.

 

Accounts receivable

 

The Company provides for bad debt expense using the allowance method. The terms of sales are generally according to specific contracts or purchase orders.

 

Unbilled accounts receivable become billable according to the contract terms which vary significantly but usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. Based on estimated contract completion dates, all unbilled amounts at December 31, 2010 are expected to be collected within one year.

 

Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts and the type of invoices outstanding. Accounts receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Intangibles and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and other amortizable intangibles, such as trade names and customer relationships, all of which were a result of the purchase of the Company in 2008. The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets, including goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Annually, as of October 31, a goodwill impairment test is performed. The impairment test in 2010 resulted in the write-off of all goodwill of $8,027,901. In addition, the Company assessed its long-lived assets including amortizable intangible assets using the income approach. As a result of this assessment, the Company wrote-off $8,412,616. No impairment existed at December 31, 2009. These impairments are recognized in the accompanying statement of operations under “Goodwill and other intangible assets impairment”.

 

Income Tax

 

The Company’s legal organization is a limited liability company; the profits are passed through to the individual owners who personally pay the income taxes on their respective share; therefore, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

 

The Company applies a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. This approach only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As a result of implementing this approach, the Company has reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore the implementation of this standard has not had a material effect on the Company. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended 2009, 2008 and 2007 remain open, and subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s tax return for 2010 has not yet been filed.

 

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk

 

The Company periodically has funds in excess of federally insured limits at its lender bank. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, $6,511,074 and $6,167,873, respectively, of the Company’s cash was over the FDIC limit of $250,000.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts; any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 

Buildings & Leasehold Improvements

 

30 Years

 

Motor Vehicles

 

5 Years

 

Shop Equipment & Machinery

 

5 - 7 Years

 

Office Equipment & Fixtures

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Depreciation expense, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, amounted to $485,321 and $540,028 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues and related costs from sales of parts, services, and equipment where the time to complete the transaction is less than six months are recognized when the delivery or service to the customer is complete, parts are shipped to the customer, or the customer has acknowledged satisfaction with performance.

 

Revenues and related costs from contracted orders where the time to complete the transaction is greater than six months are recognized on the percentage of completion method. This method recognizes profit on a long-term contract as it is earned gradually during the construction period. This approach matches revenue and expense in the period of benefit. Earned revenue is based on the percentage that incurred costs bear to total estimated costs. Impact of revisions in total cost estimates during the progress of work is reflected in the year in which such changes become known. Billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts and cost in excess of billings and earnings on uncompleted contracts for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted $5,973,349 and $0, and $3,956,013 and $598,044 respectively.

 

Shipping and handling costs are charged to the related project and are reflected in cost of goods sold.

 

Profit Sharing Plan

 

The Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan for the benefit of its employees. All employees are eligible to participate in the plan after six months of continuous employment and attainment of age 18. A participant’s interest in the plan becomes 20% vested after two years of continuous employment and increases each year of continuous service thereafter until the sixth year when the benefit becomes fully vested.

 

All participants are permitted to make contributions to the plan on a pre-tax salary reduction basis in accordance with provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The company may at its discretion make matching contributions for contributions of the participants. The Company may also elect to contribute amounts to the plan in addition to the matching contributions. The Company contributed $102,702 and $114,055 to the Plan during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $33,087 and $35,274 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Changes in the relationship with any of these customers or areas of concentration can materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenues.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009

 

Note 10. Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of distribution agreement, customer relationships—equipment, customer relationships—parts, backlog, and covenants not to compete. These items are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the related asset with weighted average useful lives of 13 years, 10 years, 6 years, 2 years, and 3 years, respectively. In 2010, the Company wrote-off all intangibles related to covenants not to compete. Additional impairments were recognized in the other remaining categories. The company’s trade names have an indefinite useful life and, therefore, are not amortized. Amortization expense was $1,975,799 and $2,227,692 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
