INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To The Members of
B27, LLC
Plano, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of B27, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with U. S. generally accepted auditing standards. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of B27, LLC and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has retrospectively adopted the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition on manufactured API (“American Petroleum Institute”) pumps and remanufactured pump products from the completed contract method.

B27, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
(Thousands of dollars)
Organization and Consolidation
B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, B27 Resources, Inc. and Best Holding, LLC, along with Best Holding, LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Best Equipment Service and Sales Company, LLC, Integrated Flow Solutions, LLC, IFS International, LLC, IFS LatinoAmerica Petróleo é Gas Ltda. (a Brazilian Limited Liability Company owned 99% by IFS International, LLC and 1% by Best Holding, LLC), PumpWorks 610, LLC and B27 RE, LLC, (collectively, the Company), is a manufacturer and distributor of industrial pumps and pumping systems used in the oil and gas, power generation and chemical processing industries. The Company’s customers are located in the United States and abroad, however, the primary trading territory for Best Equipment Service & Sales Company, LLC (the distribution company) is Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Tyler and Houston, Texas and Shreveport, Louisiana and its corporate offices are located in Plano, Texas. IFS LatinoAmerica Petróleo é Gas Ltda. maintains a sales / project management office in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
On August 31, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Centrifugal Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), a pump manufacturer located in Shreveport, Louisiana. The primary purpose of the acquisition was to provide the Company with an opportunity to expand their capabilities as an original equipment manufacturer in the pumping industry. The purchase was funded by increasing the existing senior note by $1,000 and obtaining two new notes; a subordinated note for $4,000 and a convertible subordinated note for $6,450 which was converted to equity in January, 2011 as more fully described in Note 7.
As a result of this acquisition, the new assets and liabilities that were aquired have been recorded at their estimated fair market values at the time of the transaction. Additionally, the results of operations and cash flows are reported for the period from September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. The following table summarizes the values of the assets and liabilities that were purchased at the date of the acquisition:
Current assets $ 1,867
Property and equipment 1,429
Intangible assets 3,263
Goodwill 5,577
Total assets
|
12,136
|
Current liabilities 1,010
Purchase price $11,126
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B27, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company utilizes a shared treasury function to manage cash between its divisions which may mean, from time to time, that cash balances in any specific division may be negative, but on an aggregate basis the balance is positive. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont’d.
(b) Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues from the sale of distributed products and service/repair activities are recognized on a completed contract basis at the time of shipment. Revenue from manufactured API (“American Petroleum Institute”) pumps, remanufactured pump products and the manufacturing of engineered to order pumping systems are generally accounted for using the percentage of completion method of accounting based on cost to date as a percentage of the estimated total cost at completion.
Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor (including pre-contract labor costs) and production overhead expenses. These cost are used in the calculation of revenue recognized on a cost to estimated cost basis as described earlier for all of the manufactured API pumps and remanufactured pump products. For the manufactured engineered to order pumping systems, certain subcontractor and material costs, expended during the design phase of jobs in progress, are incurred as a result of extended lead times related to their procurement. In order to more accurately capture expended efforts towards project completion, these material and contractor costs, although identified to the job, are included in job costs after completion of the design phase.
The asset, "Costs and estimated profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents the cost and percentage of estimated profit recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated profit on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Customer deposits in current liabilities represent monies received prior to revenue recognition on completed contracts.
Revenues are reported net of sales taxes. The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales. Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales.
Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
(c) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on estimates of the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, which is determined principally based upon the aging of the accounts receivable, but also customer credit history, industry and market segment information, economic trends and conditions and credit reports. Customer credit issues, customer bankruptcies or general economic conditions may also impact these estimates.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment was recorded at fair value in connection with the merger and reorganization which occurred July 24, 2008. Property, plant and equipment acquired in the CTI transaction was also recorded at fair market value. All other property, plant and equipment purchases are recorded at cost. Depreciation or amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Significant replacements, betterments and major renewals are capitalized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont’d.
(f) Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
(g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value of long-lived assets, the collectibility of the accounts receivable, the estimated cost of completing work in process, the estimated costs of warranties, the accrual for incurred, but not reported claims in the self-funded medical plan and the Company’s inventory value.
(h) Warranty Reserves
The Company provides warranty reserves which are calculated based on historical claims experience and management’s estimates of the Company’s exposure, after considering any warranties provided by the original equipment manufacturers. Accrued expenses at December 31, 2011 and 2010, include $293 and $408, respectively, in warranty reserves resulting from these calculations.
(i) Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for Federal Income Tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under such provisions, the income of the Company flows through to the members to be taxed at the individual level rather than at the corporate level. With the exception of B27 Resources, Inc., which files as a corporation for federal tax purposes, no provision for federal income tax expense or deferred tax benefit or liability has been recorded in the accompanying financials.
(j) Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets
Intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. The excess of purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (goodwill) is not amortized in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, but is subject to an impairment assessment that must be performed at least annually. Deferred loan costs are amortized over the term of the borrowings using a method approximating the effective interest method.
(k) Unit Based Compensation
In accordance with FASB ASC 718, grants of phantom units created under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan will be recorded into unit based compensation expense using a market value determined under the Black Scholes model which considers terms related to the grants, such as; (1) risk free interest rates, (2) expected forfeiture rates, (3) volatility, and (4) expected lives of the underlying phantom units in establishing a fair value of the phantom units issued.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont’d.
(l) New Accounting Standards
Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires additional disclosures on transfers in and out of Level I and Level II and on activity for Level III fair value measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures of Level III activity, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of this disclosure guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, which provides additional guidance for testing the impairment of goodwill. This ASU amends Topic 350 to permit an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (50% threshold) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual and interim period have not yet been issued. The Company adopted the ASU as of December 31, 2011 (See Note 5).

For the year ended December 31, 2011, as provided by ASU 2011-08 issued by the Financial Account Standards Board, the Company performed a qualitative assessment using certain prescribed factors to determine the annual impairment testing of goodwill. Factors considered in the assessment included various macroeconomic, industry and market conditions as well as analysis of other cost factors and the overall financial performance of the Company. The intent of this testing is to determine whether it is more likely than not that the value of the Company is less than its carrying value. After making this qualitative assessment, the Company determined it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company used an independent third party to perform its annual impairment test of goodwill. In performing the valuations, cash flows that reflected management's forecasts and discount rates that reflected risks associated with the current market were used. The results of the testing indicated that goodwill was not impaired for the year ended December 31, 2010 and, as a result of this finding, the second step of the impairment testing (in which fair value of each of the reporting units assets and liabilities are measured) was not required.
Amortization expenses of other intangible assets are being recorded using estimated useful lives of 12-14 years for customer relationships, 9.3-10 years for trademarks, 6.5 years for patterns and 15 years for drawings.

As further described in Note 8, upon completion of the refinancing of the Company’s senior credit facility, the Company wrote off $880 of remaining unamortized loan fees from the original facility and capitalized the new facility costs of $1,071.
Note 6 – Line of Credit
The Company completed the refinancing of its existing credit facility in May, 2011, as further described in Note 8, adding $1,000 to increase the revolving line of credit from $9,000 to $10,000. This revolving note, as amended, continues to bear interest at a rate that varies based on the bank’s prime interest rate plus 3.75% as determined and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. There was no borrowing under the revolving note at December 31, 2011 or 2010.
Under the new credit facility, the Company issues letters of credit which are issued to customers in the ordinary course of business to support advanced payments, as performance and/or warranty guarantees or in lieu of retention on contracts.

During 2009, increasing backlog levels caused the Company to approach the maximum threshold for available letters of credit under their current credit agreement. Following modifications to the agreement, certain members of the Company supplied short term financing to purchase a certificate of deposit held for the purpose of providing collateral against a letter of credit on a large order obtained in 2009. The terms of the short term borrowing agreement provide for the loan to be repaid at the conclusion of the job. Interest accrues annually at 17.75%, of which 2% - 3% is accrued and will be paid at the completion of the project. The remaining interest is accrued as payment-in-kind interest as further described in Note 8, under Subordinated Note – Related Parties. In 2010, an additional $5,507 was advanced under this arrangement to complete the financing for this large project and then, when the project completed, the entire balance was repaid. Interest paid on the note during 2010 was $88.
On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a L/C Subordinated Loan Agreement with certain members which provides for up to $10,000 in loans to be used as collateral for possible future letters of credit under high backlog situations. The loans are available to be issued at the discretion of each members’ approval as well as senior lender approval and will include provisions consistent with the terms of the note described above. No borrowings have occurred under the loan agreement.
During 2010, convertible subordinated promissory notes totaling $6,450 were issued related to the financing of the CTI transaction. These notes converted to common and preferred conversion units in January, 2011, as further described in Note 10. Interest accrued on these notes during 2011 and 2010 totaled $0 and $487, respectively.

Senior note
As described earlier in Note 6, the Company refinanced its senior credit facility in May, 2011 and, as a part of this refinancing arrangement, paid off the outstanding balance of the subordinated notes and consolidated the debt into one senior note. As part of this refinancing agreement, the LIBOR interest floor was reduced from 2.5% to 1.5% and the terms were extended through March, 2016.
The Restated Credit Agreement allows for interest rates to be determined under two interest rate methods. Base Rate Loans are tied to the Prime lending rate plus a spread of 3.75% and interest using this rate method is paid on a monthly basis. LIBOR Loans are contracts purchased using one of four LIBOR rate periods; 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months with a minimum floor of 1.5%, as stated above, plus a spread of 4.75% and interest using this rate method is accrued monthly and paid quarterly. The applicable LIBOR contract is determined by management for each of the relevant periods and is staggered to mature quarterly when the principal payments are due.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company at the end of each accounting year after the financial audit is presented to calculate an excess cash flow payment. These provisions provide for an additional payment to be made against the long-term borrowing based on a ratio of total debt to EBITDA. Payments of $0 and $1,409 were made in 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to this provision of the credit agreement.
As required by the Senior Credit Agreement, on November 19, 2008, the Company entered into a three year interest rate cap contract on 100% of the outstanding senior note balance for a payment of $135. The contract, which is designated as a cash flow hedge under FASB ASC 815, caps the variable interest rates under the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement at 10.25%.

Note 8 – Long-term Borrowings, cont’d.
Subordinated notes
Subject to senior lender approval, the Company has the discretion to, in lieu of payment of the interest due on the note in excess of 11.5%, add such amount to the principal balance of the note. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, $186 and $731, respectively, in interest was added to the principal balance of the note.
These subordinated notes were paid off as part of the refinancing of the senior credit facility in May, as described above. Included in this payoff was an early redemption premium of $249 that represented 1% of the payoff balance as defined in the agreement.
Subordinated note – related party acquisition financing
In conjunction with financing the acquisition of CTI, the Company entered into a related party financing arrangement with certain related parties totaling $4,000. The terms of the lending agreement provide for a component of the short term loan interest to be repaid in cash at a rate of 10% per annum and a portion as payment-in-kind which accrues at a rate of 7.5% and is added to the principal balance of the note. The remaining note balance and related accrued interest is due at maturity on January 1, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred $740 of interest expense of which $190 was accrued and $311 was added to the principal balance of the note. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred $254 of interest expense of which $176 was accrued and $33 was added to the principal balance of the note.
Subordinated note – related parties
As earlier described in the short-term borrowing – related parties note, the Company entered into a financing arrangement to obtain necessary cash to use as collateral for letter of credit requirements related to the financing of a large order. The terms of the lending agreement provide for a component of the short term loan interest to be repaid as payment-in-kind which accrues in the form of a long-term subordinated note. Once the short term borrowing is satisfied, this existing accrued obligation will remain and begin to accrue interest at 17.75%. The remaining note balance and related accrued interest is due at maturity on October 7, 2013. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, $141 and $615 in interest were added to the principal, respectively.
Note 9 – Retirement Plans
The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan for the benefit of its employees in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's contributions to the plan are discretionary. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, employer matching contributions totaled $248 and $0, respectively.
Effective July 25, 2008, the Company created the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”). The Plan authorizes the grants of phantom units to eligible employees, consultants and directors, subject to the conditions of the Plan. The phantom units represent the right to receive the fair market value of one LLC membership unit at the date of grant, without conveying the rights and privileges associated with equity ownership. Awards are granted at the sole discretion of the board of directors and vest at a rate of 25% annually from the date of the award. They are cancelled and forfeited, if not vested, upon termination of service or employment. Early vesting occurs in the events of death, disability, retirement or change in control. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, no phantom LLC units have been granted under the Plan.

Note 10 – Members’ Equity
Members’ equity is comprised of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units. The units have varying rights and privileges that are defined in the Company’s Operating Agreement. Series A Preferred Units are non-voting and may be redeemed on or after the seventh anniversary of the date of issuance. Series A Preferred Units are entitled to a preferred return accruing at the rate of 8% per annum on the unpaid Series A preference amount as defined in the Operating Agreement.
In 2010, in conjunction with the CTI Acquisition, the operating agreement was amended to increase available common and Series A units from 50,000 to 60,000 in order to provide the additional units necessary for the conversion of the $6,450 convertible note discussed in Note 7. In January, 2011, this debt was converted to equity at a rate of one Common and one Series A Preferred unit per thousand dollars. Included in the conversion was accrued interest related to the debt of $487. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 56,427 and 49,490, respectively, of Common and Series A Preferred Units were issued and outstanding.
Note 11 – Fair Market Value Measurements
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines 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.
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
|
Level 2
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
|
|
Level 3
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
|
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consist of goodwill and other intangible assets (see Note 5). These assets are measured using level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820.
The carrying values of the Company's long-term borrowings approximate fair values for financial instruments of similar risk. The carrying values of cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
Note 12 – Business and Credit Concentrations
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 31% and 37%, respectively, of the Company's sales were to companies outside of the United States. No one customer or country accounted for a significant portion of these sales.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, lease related expenses were $927 and $933, respectively.
The Company has a self funded medical plan that is funded based on historical claim calculations and the historical claims experience of the administrative service provider (Blue Cross / Blue Shield). Based on these factors, an annual expected paid claims target is calculated and an aggregate stop loss calculation is used to determine the exposure limitation of the plan. The plan is partially funded to account for these expenses and the premiums that are paid from the plan to fund stop loss insurance that minimizes the Company’s exposure. These calculations are based on historical estimates of accrued expenses which will be different than actual expenses and, consequently, there is a potential unfunded liability for this difference. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, accrued expenses include $60 related to this unfunded risk.
The Company has commitments to perform on long-term contracts at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Certain of these contracts contain performance penalties for work that is not completed to the specified performance schedules, which could be material to the Company. Included in the accrued expenses as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $36 and $305 related to these contract performance conditions.
Due to the nature of the oil and gas industry, there is a potential exposure for environmental remediation contingencies. The Company believes they are adequately insured against possible losses of this nature.
The Company is party to a five year license agreement for certain engineering related software products. The agreement expires February 2012. The annual license fee under the agreement was approximately $45 as of December 31, 2011.
