We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of VP Acquisition Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations and changes in shareholders’ 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – COMPANY OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company Operations

VP Acquisition Holdings, Inc. is a Delaware Corporation formed in 2005 to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Value Plastics, Inc.; the acquisition was completed effective October 14, 2005. VP Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (the Company) designs, manufactures, and sells a variety of plastic connectors for low-pressure fluid management applications. These products are purchased by a broad spectrum of customers, most notably, the pneumatic control, laboratory instrumentation and medical device industries. The Company’s products are sold throughout the world. The Company does business as Value Plastics, Inc.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Unpaid amounts from customers are reported as accounts receivable. The Company evaluates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors relating to the age of the receivable, customer relations, historic collection results, and judgment by the Company as to the expected collectability of the receivable. The Company generally does not record an allowance for doubtful accounts because of its historic collection results.

The Company records receivables at the amount invoiced to customers denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company does not obtain collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company does not hold any receivables for sale. Interest is not assessed on outstanding receivables.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by a method which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Inventory includes costs of labor and manufacturing overhead.

NOTE 1 – COMPANY OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the property lease (12 years).

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $304,000 and $271,000 in advertising expense, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $673,000 and $627,000 in research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed as a “C” Corporation. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates as of the date of enactment.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – COMPANY OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income Taxes (continued)

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income.

The Company’s corporate income tax reporting process began in 2005. All years of the Company’s income tax reporting (since inception in 2005) are open to federal or state examination.

Stock Incentive Plan

The Company established a stock incentive plan in 2005, and accounts for the Plan using the fair value based method.

Dividends are paid to participants in the incentive plan based upon their ratio of vested options to total shares outstanding (including shares represented by the vested options). Payments to participants attributable to vested options are reflected as dividends in the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain accounts from the 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to enhance comparability with the 2010 financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

The secured and subordinated notes require prepayment in certain instances, including the Company attaining certain cash flow benchmarks. Effectively, all of the assets of the Company and its outstanding stock are collateral for the loans.

Paid-in-kind interest represents interest expense which increases the principal balance of the underlying note, rather than being paid in cash.

The Company also has a revolving facility line of credit for $5,000,000, which expires October 2011. Monthly payment requirements are interest at a variable rate based upon LIBOR plus 4.0%. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no draws on this line of credit.

Future minimum principal payments on long-term debt are as follows for the years ending December 31:

NOTE 6 – STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has established a stock incentive plan. Under this plan, nontransferable options to purchase the Company’s common stock may be granted to eligible employees, officers or board members as determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted under this plan vest over a four-year period (25% after a one-year period from award date, the remaining 75% in 36 monthly installments). The plan limits the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under this plan to 4,505 shares. The options have a ten year term. No option may be granted to any person who owns more than 10% of the total outstanding stock of the Company.

On October 14, 2005, the Company granted options for a total of 2,251 shares at an exercise price of $1,250 per share to certain key executives of the Company. In 2007, the Company granted an additional option for 360 shares of stock at an exercise price of $1,543. In 2009, the Company granted additional options for 1,398 shares of stock at an exercise price of $1,989.

The Company has adopted the fair value based method to account for its stock option plan. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is the vesting period. The fair value of the stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option-pricing model, based on the medical equipment industry volatility of 24%, zero dividend rate, risk-free interest rate of 4.6% and expected lives of the options of five years. The fair value of the options granted in 2005, 2007 and 2009 was estimated to be approximately $867,000, $163,000, and $681,000, respectively, based on these factors. Total stock based compensation expense was approximately $170,000 and $475,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES (continued)

Provision for income tax expense consisted of the following for the years ended December 31:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which net operating losses and reversal of timing differences may offset taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the net operating losses and future tax deductions.

The Company’s net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting was approximately $5,400,000 at December 31, 2010. The net operating losses begin to expire in the year 2025 for federal and Colorado reporting purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES (continued)

The Company is subject to income taxes in the State of Colorado. In 2010, the State of Colorado determined that utilization of corporate net operating loss deductions will be limited to $250,000 annually for the years 2011-2014. The State of Colorado will extend the expiration date of the net operating loss for each year that the deferral is effective.

The State of Colorado net operating loss limitation does not impact the Company’s deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2010, but may require cash tax payments in 2011 – 2014 that would have been deferred.

NOTE 8 – RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company has adopted a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees. The plan covers all employees who are at least 21 years of age. The Company’s contribution is based on matching 50% of the first 3% of employee salary. The Company’s contributions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, were approximately $93,000 and $83,000 respectively.

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is primarily owned by American Capital Strategies, Ltd. and its affiliates (ACS). ACS is an investment company and owns all or part of numerous companies. Because of the existence of the control capability of ACS, the operating results and financial position of the Company could be significantly different than if the Company were autonomous.

During 2008, the Company entered into a management agreement with ACS that it will pay ACS $450,000 of management fees annually and certain investment banking fees as incurred. The agreement will continue for as long as ACS has an investment in the Company’s debt or equity securities.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred approximately $500,000 in administrative and management fee expense to ACS. The Company incurred approximately $25,000 of bank and line of credit fees with ACS for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The Company is financed primarily by ACS (see NOTE 5). Virtually all of the interest expense incurred and paid by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, is attributable to the obligations due to ACS.
