To the Board of Directors and Members
Grandparents.com LLC
New York, NY
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Grandparents.com LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, members' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011, for the period January 1, 2010 to May 5, 2010, and for the period May 6, 2010 to December 31, 2010. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Grandparents.com LLC as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011, for the period January 1, 2010 to May 5, 2010, and for the period May 6, 2010 to December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company has significant related party transactions.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained a net loss, has negative cash flows from operations, and has a working capital deficit. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
Nature of the Business
Grandparents.com LLC ("GP", or the "Company") was formed as a Florida limited liability company on April 20, 2010, under the name of Grandparents Acquisition Company, LLC ("GAC"). GAC was formed for the purpose of acquiring the "grandparents.com" URL, trademarks and related business assets from GPOC Holdings, LLC ("GPOC"), which was owned by a predecessor private equity group. The Company changed its name to Grandparents.com LLC on May 12, 2010, and currently does business as "Grandparents.com", with its corporate headquarters located in New York. The Company's main objective is to build a broad membership of millions of grandparents founded on the fact that one in every four Americans is a grandparent.
Grandparents.com is a premier social media website for America's generation of grandparents. It is a family-oriented site with a mission to enhance the lives of grandparents and those around them by providing the tools to foster communication and better understanding among grandparents, parents and grandchildren, and to provide discounts on products and services grandparents like to purchase. The website offers enriching activities, discussion groups, forums, expert advice, financial and health topics, monthly newsletters, photo sharing, the Grandparents.com Bookstore, and a Benefits Club with marketing partners that offer discounts on entertainment, food and dining, wellness, travel, shopping, insurance and financial services.
Business Combinations
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (‘‘Purchase Agreement’’) by GAC and GPOC, GAC purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of GPOC in exchange for 3,000,000 Class A Units (representing 30% ownership in GAC). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the GPOC ownership interest shall not be diluted below 30% for the future issuance of securities, until such time that an aggregate of $3 million of new capital is raised. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the managing members of GAC received a 68% ownership interest in GAC in exchange for transaction costs. In addition, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, a member of GPOC contributed $250,000 cash in exchange for a 2% ownership interest in GAC, which was recorded as a purchase of Class A Units in the statement of changes in members' equity.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value, resulting in a bargain purchase. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition is as follows:
Cash | $ | 150,000 | ||
Accounts receivable | 200,712 | |||
Other current assets | 114,815 | |||
Property and equipment | 50,409 | |||
URL | 4,500,000 | |||
Trademarks | 500,000 | |||

Notes to the Financial Statements
Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the net assets of the Company were transferred to NorWes Tech, Inc. for equity in a transaction to be accounted for as a reverse merger. See Note 12.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 amount 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported in the balance sheet net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance based on an analysis of specific clients, taking into consideration the age of past due accounts, the client’s payment history and an assessment of the client’s ability to pay. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three (3) to seven (7) years. Incidental expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterment that materially extend the life of assets are capitalized. The Company reviews the valuation of fixed assets and the remaining economic lives annually and adjusts depreciation accordingly.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired and the carrying value may not be recoverable. Events and circumstances that may indicate that an asset is impaired may include significant decreases in the market value of an asset, a change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, shifts in technology, loss of key management or personnel, changes in the Company’s operating model or strategy and competitive forces as well as other factors.
If events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk involved, quoted market prices or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, the Company will first compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the fair value of the respective reporting units of the Company is less than book value, then the Company is required to compare the carrying amount of the goodwill with its implied fair value. The estimate of implied fair value of goodwill may require independent valuations of certain internally generated and unrecognized intangible assets such as its customer base, software and technology and trademarks. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from arrangements with advertisers and third-party affiliates, generally on the basis of impressions, at an agreed upon cost per thousand impressions ("CPM"). This revenue is recognized on a net basis in the period in which the impressions occur.
Revenue is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company considers amounts to be earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of services has occurred, price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Advertising
The Company’s policy is to report advertising costs as expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The total amounts charged to advertising expenses were $104,323 for the year ended December 31, 2011, $444,300 for the period January 1, 2010 to May 5, 2010, and $246,838 for the period May 6, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash, short-term accounts receivable, and payables. The Company believes that the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and market interest rates.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity-based awards to employees and others at fair value, measured at the grant date (based upon an estimate of the fair value of the compensation granted) and recorded to expense over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. Fair value of equity-based compensation arrangements are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as Limited Liability Company for Federal and State income tax purposes. Under this election, all taxable income, losses and credits pass through to its members and are reflected on their individual income tax returns. Consequently, no provision for income taxes has been provided by the Company.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, and changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company is not subject to examinations by income tax authorities for periods prior to 2010.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments to existing standards for fair value measurement and disclosure, which are effective in the first quarter of 2012. The amendments clarify or change the application of existing fair value measurements, including: that the highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets; that a reporting entity should measure the fair value of its own equity instrument from the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset; to permit an entity to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a net basis rather than based on its gross exposure when the reporting entity manages its financial instruments on the basis of such net exposure; that in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums and discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability consistent with the unit of account; and that premiums and discounts related to size as a characteristic of the reporting entity’s holding are not permitted in a fair value measurement. The impact of adopting these amendments is expected to be immaterial to the financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, since formation GP has incurred a net loss of approximately $5.1 million and used approximately $2.6 million in cash for operating activities. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $1.8 million. Without additional capital from existing or outside investors or further financing, the Company's ability to continue to implement its business plan may be limited. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As further described in Note 12, the Company executed a letter of intent related to a merger transaction which was consummated on February 23, 2012. The merger resulted in the Company obtaining access to approximately $1.5 million in cash held by the acquiring company, as well as additional financing of approximately $2.4 million. Management believes that these transactions should have a positive effect on the Company's ability to implement its business plan and continue as a going concern.

Note 5 – Intangible Assets
The recoverability of goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles is evaluated at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles may not be recoverable. The identification and measurement of impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit and indefinite lived intangibles and contains uncertainty because management must use judgment in determining appropriate assumptions to be used in the measurement of fair value. The estimate of fair value of the reporting unit is based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment and incorporates management’s assumptions about expected future cash flows and contemplates other valuation techniques. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in the industry, a continuing declining economic environment or market conditions.

Note 6 – Notes Payable
During 2011, three of GP's members advanced an aggregate of $126,000 to GP. The advances bear interest at 5% per annum, and are due and payable on December 31, 2012.
In March 2011, GP entered into a $300,000 note payable agreement with one of its members. The note bears interest at 5% per annum, with interest-only payments commencing on May 1, 2011 through the maturity date, April 1, 2013. The note is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.
In July 2011, three of GP's members provided short-term loans to GP in the aggregate amount of $40,000. The loans bear interest at 5% per annum and mature on December 31, 2011. The loans are convertible into Class A Units at a conversion price of $1.60 per unit. The difference between the effective conversion price of the loans into Class A Units, and the fair value of the Class A Units on the date of issuance of the loans, did not result in the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature since the fair value of the Class A Units was significantly lower than the effective conversion price. These loans remain unpaid and outstanding at December 31, 2011.
In July 2011 GP issued a zero coupon note payable to a consultant. The note provided $225,000 to GP in exchange for repayment of $275,000 on August 30, 2012, the maturity date of the note. The discount from the maturity value of $275,000, initially $50,000, is being amortized to interest expense by the effective interest method over the life of the note, with an effective interest rate of 20.04%. The note is convertible into Class A Units at a conversion price of $1.60 per unit.
In December 2011, the Company closed on a $500,000 Bridge Loan with a NorWesTech, Inc., a public company, and executed a Letter of Intent with that company for a contribution of all the assets and liabilities of the Company into the public entity in a transaction to be accounted for as a reverse merger. The public entity's assets consist exclusively of $2.3 million in cash (unaudited). The Company simultaneously executed an engagement agreement with an investment bank to effect a private placement of $3 million, on a best efforts basis, in a secondary offering of the public company's common shares, to be closed at the same time as the reverse merger. The merger and private placement transactions were consummated on February 23, 2012. See Note 12.
Future maturities of obligations under loans and notes payable (including related party loans and notes payable, and short-term advances) are as follows at December 31, 2011:

Note 7 – Members' Equity
GPOC Holdings, LLC (Predecessor)
In February 2010 GPOC amended and restated its operating agreement to authorize five classes of capital units: Class A Units, Class B Non-Voting Profits Interest Units, Class C 10% Preferred Units, Class D 10% Preferred Units, and Class E Non-Voting Profits Interest Units.
Holders of the Class C 10% Preferred Units are entitled to a 10% preferred return (compounded annually to the extent not paid) on two times (2x) the aggregate amount of the members' unreturned cash capital contributions, reduced by the aggregate amount of any prior distributions made by GPOC to such members.

GPOC Holdings, LLC (Predecessor), continued
Holders of the Class D 10% Preferred Units are entitled to a 10% preferred return (compounded annually to the extent not paid) on one times (1X) the aggregate amount of the members' unreturned cash capital contributions, reduced by the aggregate amount of any prior distributions made by GPOC to such members.
Holders of the Class B and Class E Non-Voting Profits Interest Units are entitled to a percentage of GPOC net income, based on the members' respective percentage ownership on a fully-diluted basis.
In February 2010, in connection with an amended and restated operating agreement, $6,974,135 of advances from one of GPOC's members was converted to 3,867,019 Class D 10% Preferred Units. In May 2010, $750,000 of advances from three of GPOC's members was converted to 415,500 Class C 10% Preferred Units.
In March 2010, two of GPOC's members contributed cash of $225,000 in exchange for 124,758 Class C 10% Preferred Units.
Grandparents.com LLC (Successor)
At December 31, 2011 and 2010 GP had three classes of capital units authorized: Class A Units, Class A Preferred Units and Class B Units.
Holders of the Class A Preferred Units are entitled to a 10% cumulative return on the principal investment ("Minimum Annual Return") and unpaid Minimum Annual Returns, and a liquidation preference equivalent to the sum of their principal investment plus accrued but unpaid Minimum Annual returns. In addition, each Class A Preferred Unit may be converted into one Class A Unit, at any time between two and five years after the closing date of the holder's investment in Class A Preferred Units. The Class A Preferred Units do not have any voting rights under the GP operating agreement. The difference between the effective conversion price of the Series A Preferred Units into Class A Units, and the fair value of the Class A Units on the date of issuance of the Class A Preferred Units, did not result in the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature since the fair value of the Class A Units was lower than the effective conversion price.
During 2010, GP sold 918,000 Class A Preferred Units in exchange for $918,000 in cash.
In August 2010, GP sold 800,000 Class A Units to an investor, representing an 8% ownership interest in GP, for $500,000 cash. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement, the investor's ownership interest shall not be diluted below 8% for the future issuance of securities, until such time that an aggregate of $5 million of new capital is raised. The issuance of the Class A Units under this agreement resulted in the issuance of an additional 490,323 Class A Units to maintain capital balances pursuant to anti-dilution clauses.
In October 2011 GP sold 290,512 Class A Units to an investor for $250,000 in cash.

Note 8- Equity-Based Compensation
On October 1, 2010, GP established the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan”). The Plan provides for the issuance of options to purchase units, for the purposes of offering incentive options to employees and non-statutory options to employees and consultants. Options become exercisable over various vesting periods depending on the nature of the grant, not to exceed five (5) years from the date of grant. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined).
GP granted options to purchase 252,500 Class A Units under the Plan to its officers and employees during 2010. The options had an exercise price of $0.625 per Class A Unit and a grant-date fair value of $0.45 per option. The options expire five years from the date of grant.
GP granted options to purchase 220,000 Class A Units under the Plan to its officers and employees during 2011. The options had an exercise price of $0.860 per Class A Unit and a grant-date fair value of $0.68 per option. The options expire five years from the date of grant.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during 2011 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility was estimated using the average volatility rates of several public companies we consider to be peers in our industry and a weighted component volatility of the company to be merged into GP, NorWesTech, Inc. The expected term of the options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is derived from historical terms.
