REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Optex Systems, Inc.
Richardson,
Texas
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Optex Systems, Inc. (the
Company) as of September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years
then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial
statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit 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. The company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included 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. 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 audit provides 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 Optex Systems, Inc. as of December
September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, 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.

Note 1 - Organization and Operations
Optex
Systems, Inc. ( “Optex Texas”) was a privately held Texas Subchapter “S”
Corporation from inception in 1987 until December 30, 2005 when 70% of the
issued and outstanding stock was acquired by Irvine Sensors Corp. (“IRSN”) and
Optex Texas was automatically converted to a Subchapter “C”
Corporation. On December 29, 2006, the remaining 30% equity interest
in Optex Texas was purchased by IRSN.
On
October 14, 2008, certain senior secured creditors of IRSN, Longview Fund, L.P.
(“Longview Fund”) and Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”) formed Optex Systems,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (“Optex Delaware”),which acquired substantially
all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Optex Texas in a
transaction that was consummated via purchase at a public auction. Longview and
Alpha owned Optex Delaware until February 20, 2009, when Longview sold 100% of
its equity interests in Optex Delaware to Sileas Corp, as discussed in the
following paragraph. After this asset purchase, Optex Texas remained
a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRSN. Although Optex Delaware is
the legal acquirer of Optex Texas in the transaction, Optex Texas is considered
the accounting acquirer since the acquisition by Optex Delaware was deemed to be
the purchase of a business. Accordingly, in subsequent periods the
financial statements presented will be those of the accounting
acquirer.
On
February 20, 2009, Sileas Corp. (“Sileas”), a newly-formed Delaware corporation,
owned by present members of the company’s management, purchased 100% of the
equity interest held by Longview, representing 90% of Optex Delaware in a
private transaction (the “Acquisition”). See Note 14.
Optex’s
operations are based in Richardson, Texas in a leased facility comprising 49,100
square feet. As of fiscal year ended September 28, 2008 the company
operated with 109 full-time equivalent employees.

manufactures and delivers numerous periscope configurations, rifle and
surveillance sights and night vision optical assemblies. The Company products
consist primarily of build to customer print products that are delivered both
directly to the military services
and to other defense prime contractors.
In May
2008, Optex Systems was awarded ISO9001:2000 certification.
Note
2 - Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements include the historical accounts of Optex Texas
(hereinafter, the “Company” or Optex Texas). The financial statements have been
presented as subsidiary-only financial statements, reflecting the balance
sheets, results of operations and cash flows of the subsidiary as a stand-alone
entity.
Although,
the Company was majority-owned by IRSN during the fiscal periods presented, no
accounts of IRSN or the effects of consolidation with IRSN have been included in
the accompanying financial statements.
The
financial statements have been presented on the basis of push down
accounting in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 54 (SAB
54) Application of
“Push Down” Basis of Accounting in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries Acquired
by Purchase. SAB 54 states that the push down basis of accounting should
be used in a purchase transaction in which the entity becomes wholly-owned.
Under the push down basis of accounting certain transactions incurred by the
parent company, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the
parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the
subsidiary. Accordingly, items resulting from the purchase transaction such as
goodwill, debt incurred by the parent to acquire the subsidiary and other cost
related to the purchase have been recorded on the financial statements of the
Company.
Use of
Estimates: 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Segment
Reporting: Management has determined that the Company is organized,
managed and internally reported as one business segment. Segments are determined
based on differences in products, internal reporting and how operational
decisions are made.
Fiscal
Year: The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest
September 30. Fiscal year 2008 ended on September 28, 2008 and
included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2007 ended on September 30 and
included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2009 will end on September 27, 2009
and will include 52 weeks.
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments: FASB No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information
about certain financial instruments, including, but not limited to, cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, refundable tax credits, prepaid expenses,
accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable to related parties and
convertible debt-related securities. Fair value estimates discussed herein are
based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to
management as of fiscal years ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007.
The carrying value of the balance sheet financial instruments included in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements approximated their fair
values.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents: For financial statement
presentation purposes, the Company considers those short-term, highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash
equivalents.
Concentration of
Credit Risk: The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with
banks. Only a portion of the cash and cash equivalents would be covered by
deposit insurance and the uninsured balances are substantially greater than the
insured amounts. Although cash and cash equivalent balances exceed insured
deposit amounts, management does not anticipate non-performance by the
banks.
Most of
the Company’s accounts receivable are derived from sales to U.S. government
agencies or prime government contractors. The Company does not
believe that this concentration increases credit risks because of the financial
strength of the payees.
Accounts
Receivable: The Company records its accounts receivable at the original
sales invoice amount less shipment liquidations for previously collected
advance/progress bills and an allowance for doubtful accounts. An account
receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance
is outstanding beyond its scheduled due date. On a quarterly basis, the Company
evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts, based on its history of past write-offs and collections, and current
credit conditions. No interest is accrued on past due accounts receivable. As
the customer base is primarily U.S. government and government prime contractors,
the Company has concluded that there is no need for an allowance for doubtful
accounts for the years ended September 28, 2008 and September 30,
2007.
Inventory:
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market value, and adjusted as
appropriate for decreases in valuation and obsolescence. Adjustments to the
valuation and obsolescence reserves are made after analyzing market conditions,
current and projected sales activity, inventory costs and inventory balances to
determine appropriate reserve levels. Cost is determined using the first-in
first-out (FIFO) method. Under arrangements by which progress payments are
received against certain contracts, the customer retains a security interest in
the undelivered inventory identified with these contracts. Payments
received for such undelivered inventory are classified as unliquidated progress
payments and deducted from the gross inventory balance. As of years
ended September 28, 2008, and September 30, 2007 inventory
included:

Warranty
Costs: Optex Systems warrants the quality of its products to
meet customer requirements and be free of defects for twelve months subsequent
to delivery. On certain product lines the warranty period has been
extended to 24 months due to technical considerations incurred during the
manufacture of such products. In the year ended September 28, 2008,
the company incurred $227,000 of warranty expenses representing the estimated
cost of repair or replacement for specific customer returned products still
covered under warranty as of the return date and awaiting replacement, in
addition to estimated future warranty costs for shipments occurring during the
twelve months proceeding September 28, 2008. Future warranty costs
are based on the estimated cost of replacement for expected returns based upon
our most recent experience rate of defects as a percentage of
sales. Prior to fiscal year 2008, all warranty expenses were incurred
as product was replaced with no reserve for warranties against deliveries in the
covered period.
Estimated Costs
to Complete and Accrued Loss on Contracts: The Company reviews
and reports on the performance of its contracts and production orders against
the respective resource plans for such contracts/orders. These reviews are
summarized in the form of estimates to complete ("ETC”s) and estimates at
completion (“EAC”s). EACs include Optex’s incurred costs to date
against the contract/order plus management's current estimates of remaining
amounts for direct labor, material, other direct costs and subcontract support
and indirect overhead costs based on the completion status and future
contractual requirements for each order. If an EAC indicates a potential overrun
(loss) against a fixed price contract/order, management generally seeks to
reduce costs and /or revise the program plan in a manner consistent with
customer objectives in order to eliminate or minimize any overrun and to secure
necessary customer agreement to proposed revisions.
If an EAC
indicates a potential overrun against budgeted resources for a fixed price
contract/order, management first attempts to implement lower cost solutions to
still profitably meet the requirements of the fixed price
contract. If such solutions do not appear practicable, management
makes a determination whether to seek renegotiation of contract or order
requirements from the customer. If neither cost reduction nor renegotiation
appears probable, an accrual for the contract loss/overrun is recorded against
earnings and the loss is recognized in the first period the loss is identified
based on the most recent EAC of the particular contract or product
order.
For years
ended September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007, estimated loss reserves were
estimated as $821,885 and $1,377,348, respectively. Decreases in
estimated loss reserves from 2007 to 2008 of $555,463 were primarily
attributable to the successful negotiation of an equitable price adjustment for
technical issues related to our US Government M187 program and several
negotiated price increases in exchange for accelerated schedule deliveries on US
Government periscope contracts.
Property and
Equipment: Property and equipment
are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven
years. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are
capitalized. Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance
are charged to operations as incurred. Gain or loss upon sale or retirement due
to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event
takes place.
Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the cost of
acquired businesses in excess of fair value of the related net assets at
acquisition. (See also notes 9 and 14). The Company does not amortize goodwill,
but tests it annually for impairment using a fair value approach as of the first
day of its fourth fiscal quarter and between annual testing periods, if
circumstances warrant. Goodwill of Optex was reviewed as of September
30, 2007 and based on the assessment, it was determined that no impairment was
required. Goodwill was reviewed as of September 28, 2008, and it was
determined that an impairment charge of $1,586,416 was required. The fair values
assigned to the assets of the Company and the goodwill was based upon the most
recent value of the Company as determined by the sale to third party purchasers
on October 14, 2008.
The
Company amortizes the cost of other intangibles over their estimated useful
lives, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets
are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired,
written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised
values. The identified amortizable intangible assets at September 28, 2008 and
September 30, 2007 derived from the acquisition of Optex by Irvine Sensors and
consisted of non-competition agreements and customer backlog, with initial
useful lives ranging from two to eight years. (See Note 9). Intangible assets
with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment, as of the first day of
the Company's fourth fiscal quarter and between annual periods, if impairment
indicators exist, and are written down to fair value as
required.
Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets: The Company adopted the provisions of FASB
No. 144 (FASB 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” This standard requires, among other
things, that long-lived assets be reviewed for potential impairment whenever
events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to
recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If
these expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an
impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value
and carrying value. The primary measure of fair value is based on discounted
cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates
of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value
determinations.
Revenue
Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of title at the
time of shipment (F.O.B. shipping point), when all significant contractual
obligations have been satisfied, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured.
Shipping and
Handling Costs: All shipping and handling costs are included as a
component of Cost of Goods sold.
Income
Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability
method of SFAS No. 109, deferred 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 tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS
No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A
valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more
likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future
operations.
Earnings per
Share: Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net
earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
year presented. Diluted earnings per common share gives effect to the
assumed exercise of stock options when dilutive. There were no
dilutive stock options during 2008 or 2007.
Note
3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2006, The FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This
Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB No.
109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes”. FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
which establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. While FASB No. 157 does not apply to transactions
involving share-based payment covered by FASB No. 123, it establishes a
theoretical framework for analyzing fair value measurements that is absent from
FASB No. 123. We have relied on the theoretical framework established by FASB
No. 157 in connection with certain valuation measurements that were made in the
preparation of these financial statements. FASB No. 157 is effective for years
beginning after November 15, 2007. Subsequent to the Standard’s issuance, the
FASB issued an exposure draft that provides a one year deferral for
implementation of the Standard for non-financial assets and liabilities. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact FASB No. 157 will have on its
financial statements.
In
February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
115,” (FASB 159), was issued. This standard allows a company to
irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute
for certain financial assets and financial liabilities on a contract-by-contract
basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The provisions of this
standard are effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2008, with early
adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating what effect the adoption
of FASB 159 will have on its financial statements.
In March
2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified Emerging Issues Task
Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment
Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements”. EITF 06-10 provides guidance
for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as
recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of
the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-10 on itsfinancial statements, but
does not expect it to have a material effect.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations and
SFAS No. 160, Accounting
and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements,
an amendment of ARB No. 51. These new standards will significantly
change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and
non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements.
Statement Nos. 141(R) and 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and
are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 141(R) and SFAS 160 on its
financial statements. See Note 14 for adoption of SFAS 141R subsequent to
September 30, 2008.
In
December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB
110 permits companies to continue to use the simplified method, under certain
circumstances, in estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” options beyond
December 31, 2007. SAB 110 updates guidance provided in SAB 107 that previously
stated that the Staff would not expect a company to use the simplified method
for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The Company does not have any
outstanding stock options.
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133”. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s
derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year
ended September
30, 2009.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial
statements but does not expect it to have a material effect
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS
162 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a
material effect.
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" (“SFAS
163”). SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing
accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial
guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that
Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within
those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these
provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September
30, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 163
on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material
effect.

7 - Transactions with a Related Party
Corporate Cost
Allocations: In
accordance with government contracting regulations, IRSN (the Company’s owner
for years 2007 and 2008) was required to allocate some portion of its corporate
general and administrative expense to its operating subsidiaries, such as Optex
Systems. IRSN elected to use a recognized government contract
allocation method to satisfy this requirement in which the proportional
contribution of Optex to the IRSN total revenues, payroll expense and net book
value of tangible assets serves as the basis for determination of the percentage
of corporate general and administrative expense for the Optex
allocation. The total IRSN Corporate Cost Allocations for 2008 and
2007 were $2,076,184 and $2,010,027 respectively. Due to the transfer
of ownership from IRSN on October 14, 2008, there will be no future IRSN
Corporate Cost Allocations.
Due to IRSN
(Parent): Due to Parent relate to expenses of Optex Systems,
incurred by or shared with IRSN and pushed down to Optex Systems through an
intercompany payable account “Due to Parent”. The ending amounts
reflected as of September 28, 2008 and September 30, represent the cumulative
amount of expenses incurred, net of any cash transfers made to/from IRSN since
inception at January 2006. Significant amounts charged through this
account include IRSN corporate cost allocations, legal expenses, accounting and
audit fees, travel expenses, consulting fees, and insurance
costs. Future expenses for these items with the exception of IRSN
related cost allocations, consulting fees and travel expenses will be paid from
Optex Systems’ working capital.

8 - Debt Financing
Related
Parties
Note
Payable/Timothy Looney - In
January 2007, IRSN amended its earn-out agreement with Timothy Looney
in consideration for Mr. Looney providing Optex Texas with a secured
subordinated term note providing for advances of up to $2 million, bearing
interest at 10% per annum and maturing on the earlier of February 2009 or sixty
days after retirement of IRSN’s senior debt. Aggregate advances of $2 million
were provided to Optex Texas in January 2007 pursuant to the secured
subordinated term note, and the advances and accrued interest were outstanding
at September 28, 2008 and September 30, 2007. This Note is secured by
the assets of Optex Texas, but subordinated to the liens of Alpha and
Longview. Following the public sale of the assets of the Company to
Optex Delaware on October 14, 2008, the entire $2,000,000 Note Payable with
accrued interest of $345,648 remained a liability of Optex Texas.
Non-Related
Parties
Short
Term Note Payable/Longview Fund
- - On September 23, 2008 Optex Delaware borrowed $146,709 from
Longview and issued a promissory note dated September 23, 2008, to Longview in
connection therewith. The September 23, 2008 Note bears interest at
the rate of 10% per annum with interest accruing until the maturity date of the
September 23, 2008 Note, which was originally set as November 7, 2008 (“Maturity
Date”). Pursuant to an Allonge No. 1 to Promissory Note, dated
January 20, 2009, the Maturity Date was extended until March 31, 2009 and is to
be exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock of Optex Delaware (See Note
14)..
Short
term note payable (Qioptic) - On

accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become immediately due and
payable.
Note
9 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill
On
December 30, 2005, IRSN entered into an agreement with Optex Texas pursuant
to which IRSN purchased 70% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Optex
Texas , thereby becoming its majority shareholder. On
December 29, 2006, IRSN exercised a buyer option to acquire the remaining
30% ownership interest in Optex Texas.
Optex
Texas has allocated the purchase consideration for the purchase to tangible and
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the valuation
determinations made in connection with the Initial Acquisition of Optex Texas in
December 2005 as shown in the following table, which sets forth the estimated
amounts related to the full Optex Texas acquisition. The excess of the purchase
price over such values is presented as goodwill in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet at September 30, 2007.
The
goodwill resulting from the IRSN acquisition was recorded under the push down
basis of accounting and accordingly has been recorded on the financial
statements of the subsidiary.

Common
Stock: The Company is authorized to issue 100,000 shares of no par
common stock. At September 28, 2008 and 2007 there were18,870 and
10,000 shares issued and outstanding, respectively.
The
common stock, treasury stock and additional paid in Capital accounts have been
presented to reflect the ownership structure of the Company as it existed prior
to the acquisition by IRSN, since the Company is presenting its financial
statements as a separate entity.
Note
11 - Equity Compensation
Total
stock-based compensation expense of Optex Systems associated with IRSN stock
grants during fiscal years 2008 and 2007 was $378,716 and $388,756
respectively. These amounts were pushed down by IRSN and
charged to general and administrative expense for each of the
periods. There were no stock options issued to Optex Texas
employees or equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in either 2007
or 2008.
Note
12 - Income Taxes
As of
September 28, 2008, and September 30, 2007, the Company had generated net losses
for financial accounting purposes in the amounts of approximately $4,831,952 and
$6,810,854, respectively. During these periods the Company was a member of a
consolidated entity for tax reporting purposes. As such, any losses that would
have qualified as Net Operating Losses for Federal Income Taxes purposes as
potential deductions were available to the consolidated entity. Such losses may
have been utilized by the consolidated entity and are not available to Optex
Delaware to offset its future taxable income. Additionally, since the
Company was acquired in a transaction effected as an asset purchase, Optex
Delaware would only be entitled to tax deductions generated after the date of
the acquisition. Accordingly, no deferred tax assets have been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements for net operating losses generated by the
Company.
No
current provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended September 28, 2008
is required, except for minimum state taxes, since the Company incurred losses
during each year. There was no provision for income taxes in fiscal 2008 or
2007.
Prior to
January 2006, the Company had elected to be a “S” corporation. “S”
corporations pass through all items of profits, losses and tax credits to the
stockholders of the Company who are responsible for taxes other than annual
state franchise taxes. Effective December 30, 2005, concurrent with
the Sale of the Company to Irvine Sensors Corp., the Company terminated their
“S” corporation election and, as a result, is now treated as a “C” corporation
for both Federal and State corporation income tax purposes. Profits, losses, and
tax credits are reported by the corporation on its tax return and the
Corporation pays taxes accordingly. “S” corporation retained earnings were
$6,711,750. The “C” corporation retained deficit is $7,790,534.
Note 13—Earnings/Loss Per
Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed by assuming that any dilutive convertible securities
outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements
and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. For all periods presented
herein, there are no dilutive convertible securities.
The
following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss
attributable to common stockholders per share for the years ended September 28,
2008, and September 30, 2007.

14 — Subsequent Events
Acquisition
by Longview Fund, LP on October 14, 2008
On
October 14, 2008, in a purchase transaction that was consummated via public
auction, Optex Delaware exchanged $15 million of IRSN debt owned by it and
assumed approximately $3.8 million of certain Optex Texas liabilities for
substantially all of the assets of Optex Texas. The $15 million of
IRSN debt was contributed by Longview Fund and Alpha to Optex Delaware in
exchange for a $6 million note payable from Optex Delaware and a $9 million
equity interest in Optex Delaware. There is no contingent
consideration associated with the purchase. Longview and Alpha, which
were secured creditors of IRSN, owned Optex Delaware until February 20,
2009, when Longview sold 100% of its equity interests in Optex Delaware to
Sileas Corp, as discussed in the following paragraph.
Among
other assets, Optex Delaware purchased the following categories of assets from
Optex Texas: intellectual property, production processes and know
how, and outstanding contracts and customer relationships. Optex
Delaware’s management intends to improve the business’s ability to serve its
existing customers and to attract new customers through quality product and
service that will be enabled by improved working capital availability as
compared to the working capital available during the time period in which the
assets were owned by IRSN.
Optex
Systems has allocated the consideration for its acquisition of the Purchased
Assets among tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based upon their fair values. Assets that met the criteria for recognition as
intangible assets apart from goodwill were also valued at their fair
values.
The
Purchase Price was assigned to the acquired interest in the assets and
liabilities of the Company as of October 14, 2008 as
follows:

Other
Transaction in connection with Purchase by Optex Delaware
Secured
Promissory Note Due September 19, 2011/Longview Fund and Alpha - In connection with the
public sale of the Optex Texas assets to Optex Delaware, Optex Delaware
delivered to each of Longview Fund and Alpha a Secured Promissory Note due
September 19, 2011 in the principal amounts of $5,409,762 and $540,976,
respectively. Each Note bears simple interest at the rate of 6% per
annum, and the interest rate upon an event of default increases to 8% per
annum. After 180 days from the Issue Date, the principal amount of
the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be converted into Optex
common stock at a conversion price of $1.80 per share. The Notes may
be redeemed prior to maturity at a price of 120% of the then outstanding
principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The
obligations of Optex under the Notes are secured by a lien of all of the assets
of Optex in favor of Longview and Alpha. On March 27 2009,
Sileas and Alpha exchanged their Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest for one
thousand twenty seven (1,027) shares of Optex Delaware Series A Preferred
Stock
Acquisition
by Sileas Corp on February 20, 2009
On
February 20, 2009, Sileas Corp. (“Sileas”), a newly-formed Delaware corporation,
owned by present members of the company’s management, purchased 100% of the
equity interest held by Longview , representing 90% of Optex Delaware, in a
private transaction (the “Acquisition”).
The
Primary reasons for the Acquisition by Sileas was to effect synergies that the
management of Sileas and the corporate structure of Sileas would produce in
achieving competitive advantages in the contract bidding process. Additional
operating efficiencies were expected to result from the ownership by present
members of management who are active in the daily operations of the
Company.
The
Acquisition was accounted in accordance with “Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141R” Business Combinations” effective for transactions after
December 15, 2008.
The
purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Acquisition was
$13,524,405. Sileas issued a note to the Longview Fund LP for the
full amount of the Purchase Price in exchange for 45,081,350 shares of common
stock (the “Common Stock”) issued by the Company (representing 90% of the
outstanding shares) and a note dated December 2, 2008, issued by the Company to
Longview in the principal amount of $5,409,762 (the “Optex Note”). No contingent
consideration is due the seller in the transaction.. The Note is
secured by the assets of Sileas Corp. and a pledge of the outstanding stock of
Sileas Corp.
Sileas
has no operations or business activities other than holding the Purchased Assets
and has no revenues.
The fair
value of the 10% non-controlling interest at the date of acquisition is
estimated to be approximately $1,500,000. The fair value was derived by
computing 10% of the value of the Company as a whole based on the value of the
consideration given by Sileas for its 90% acquisition. The fair value of
the Company as a whole was established by the consideration of $15,000,000 given
in the previous transaction whereby Longview and Alpha Capital acquired the
Company in a public auction on October 14, 2008. Based the stability of the
nature of the company operations in the current marketplace, the fair value of
the prior consideration was deemed to be representative of the current market
value.
Sileas
has allocated the consideration for its acquisition of the Purchased Assets
among tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon
their fair values. Assets that met the criteria for recognition as intangible
assets apart from goodwill were also valued at their fair values. The excess of
the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable tangible assets,
intangibles assets and the fair value of the non controlling interest is
recognized as goodwill in the accompanying balance sheet in the amount of
$1,012,058. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes but
measured at least annually for impairment.
The
Purchase Price was assigned to the acquired interest in the assets and
liabilities of the Company as of February 20, 2009 as

Accounts
receivable represent the amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of
business. The carrying amounts approximate their fair value and the Company
expects to collect the receivables subject to their normal historical
experiences.
Qualitative
factors that result in the recognition of goodwill exist from the synergies
expected to be achieved by combining the existing operations and the business
relationships of Sileas Corp as well as intangible assets that exist that do not
meet the criteria for separate recognition apart from goodwill such as the
intellectual capital inherent in its existing workforce, production methods and
its overall customer base. The identifiable intangible assets and recorded
goodwill are not deductible for income tax purposes.
As of the
February 20, 2009
change in ownership, it was determined that there was no significant impact to
the unamortized intangible assets since the original determination on October
14, 2008.
Identifiable
intangible assets primarily consist of customer and program backlog, and will be
amortized between general and administrative expenses and costs of sales
according to their respective estimated useful lives.

$200,000 and $136,148, increased intangible amortization expenses of $1,474,829,
and $1,121,232, the elimination of corporate allocation costs from
IRSN of $ 2,076,184 and $2,010,027, and the elimination for employee stock bonus
compensation (ESBP) pushed down from IRSN of $378,716 and $388,756 for years
ended September 28, 2008 and September 30,
2007 respectively, There is no expected impact on
Federal Income taxes as the Company had a cumulative retained deficit as of the
end of each year.
Other
Transactions in connection with Purchase by Sileas
Secured
Promissory Note Due February 20, 2012/Longview Fund, LP - As a
result of the transaction described above between Sileas on Longview fund
described in note 7 and in note 14, on February 20, 2009 and effective as of
February 20, 2009 (the “Issue Date”), Sileas, the new majority owner of Optex
Systems, executed and delivered to Longview LP, a Secured Promissory Note due
February 20, 2012 in the principal amount of $13,524,405. The Note
bears simple interest at the rate of 4% per annum, and the interest rate upon an
event of default increases to 10% per annum. In the event Optex sells
or conveys all or substantially all its assets to a third party entity for more
than nominal consideration, other than a merger into its parent company
(“Sileas”) or reincorporation in another jurisdiction, then this Note shall be
immediately due and owing without demand. In the event that a Major
Transaction occurs prior to the maturity date resulting in the Borrower
receiving Net Consideration with a fair market value in excess of the principal
and interest due under the terms of this Secured Note, (the “Optex
Consideration”), then in addition to paying the principal and interest due,
Optex (“Sileas”) shall also pay an amount equal to 90% of the Optex
Consideration. The obligations of Optex under the Note are secured by
a security interest granted to Longview Fund pursuant to a Stock Pledge
Agreement delivered by Sileas to Longview.
The note
payable has been accounted for on the basis of push-down accounting upon the
acquisition since Sileas acquired a 90% controlling interest and as such the
note payable by Sileas (Parent) will be recorded on the financial statements of
Optex Delaware (Subsidiary) as of February 20, 2009. Concurrent with
the planned reverse merger with a publicly-traded shell entity, Sileas’
ownership will be diluted to a percentage less than that under which push-down
accounting applies. Accordingly, the note payable owned by Sileas to
Longview will be reflected solely on the financial statements of Sileas (Parent)
and will no longer be reflected as a liability in the financial statements of
Optex Delaware.
Reorganization/Share
Exchange
On March
30, 2009, a reorganization/share exchange occurred whereby the then existing
shareholders of the Company exchanged their shares of Company Common Stock with
the shares of Common Stock of Sustut Exploration, Inc. (“Registrant”) as
follows: (i) the
outstanding 85,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock be exchanged by Registrant
for 113,333,282 shares of Registrant Common Stock, (ii) the
outstanding 1,027 shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock be exchanged by
Registrant for 1,027 shares of Registrant Series A Preferred Stock and such
additional items as more fully described in the Agreement and (iii) the
8,131,667 shares of Company Common Stock purchased in the private placement will
be exchanged by Registrant for 8,131,667 shares of Registrant Common Stock, as
acknowledged by Registrant. The Company shall remain a wholly
owned subsidiary of Registrant, and the Company’s shareholders are now
shareholders of Registrant.
Private
Placement
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Reorganization Agreement, as of March 30, 2009 , the
Company accepted subscriptions from accredited investors for a total of 27 units
(the "Units"), for $45,000 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of Three Hundred
Thousand (300,000) shares of common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock") of
the Company and warrants to purchase Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) shares of
Common Stock for $0.45 per share for a period of five (5) years from the initial
closing (the "Warrants"), which were issued by Sustut after the closing
referenced above. Gross proceeds to the Company were $1,219,750, and
after deducting a finders fee of $139,555 which was payable in cash, and
non-cash consideration of forgiveness of indebtedness owed to an investor of
$146,250, net proceeds were $933,945. The finder also received five
year warrants to purchase 2.7 Units, at an exercise price of $49,500 per
unit.
Series
A Preferred Stock
On March
24, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware authorizing a series of preferred stock, under
its articles of incorporation, known as “Series A Preferred Stock”. This
Certificate of Designation was approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors
and Shareholders at a Board Meeting and Shareholders Meeting held on February
25, 2009. The Certificate of Designation sets forth the following terms for the
Series A Preferred Stock: (i) Number of authorized shares: 1,027; (ii) per share
stated value: $6,000; (iii) liquidation preference per share: stated
value; (iv) conversion price: $0.15 per share as adjusted from time to time; and
(v) voting rights: votes along with the Common Stock on an as converted basis
with one vote per share.
The
Series A Preferred Shares entitle the holders to receive cumulative dividends at
the rate of 6% per annum payable in cash at the discretion of Board of
Directors. Each share of preferred stock is immediately convertible into
common shares at the option of the holder which entitles the holder to receive
the equivalent number of common shares equal to the stated value of the
preferred shares divided by the conversion price initially set at $0.15 per
share.
Holders
of preferred shares receive preferential rights in the event of
liquidation. Additionally the preferred stock shareholders are entitled to
vote together with the common stock on an ”as-converted” basis.
