INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Shareholders
Defiance Integrated Technologies, Inc.
Napoleon, Ohio
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Defiance Integrated Technologies, Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
1.
Opinion

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
NOTE 1SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Defiance Integrated Technologies, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Defiance Stamping Company and Pro Shear Corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
General: The Defiance Stamping Company manufactures stamped metal products at its Napoleon, Ohio facility primarily for customers in the heavy truck and automotive industry. Pro Shear Corporation manufactures and assembles components used in cars and trucks at its Fort Wayne, Indiana facility.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product. Surcharges assessed on raw material price increases or decreases are recorded when earned.
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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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. Significant estimates are considered to be share based compensation, reserves related to uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory, a derivative liability and carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets.
Accounts Receivable, trade: The Company sells to customers using credit terms customary in its industry. Interest is not normally charged on outstanding receivables. Based principally on historical losses, aging from invoice dates, and prevailing economic conditions, the Company reduces recorded receivables to their estimated net realizable value by a valuation allowance.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective acquired assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the improvements estimated economic useful life or the remaining term of the lease to which the improvement is subject. Costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts for assets retired from service and a gain or loss on disposition is recorded in income when realized. Depreciation expense for 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $826,781, $672,440 and $601,806, respectively.
The Company annually, or as required, evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment. The Company evaluates recoverability when events and circumstances indicate that the net carrying value of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. There were no such impairments in 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Goodwill: Goodwill is recorded at cost and is assessed at least annually for impairment with any such impairment recognized in the current results of operations. The Company reviewed the carrying value of goodwill during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 and determined no impairment exists.
Other Intangible Assets: The Company assessed the value of intangible assets at the time the Company was organized. Intangible assets having a finite life are amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period (customer relationships 180 months). The Company reviewed the carrying value of non-amortizable intangible assets during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 and determined no impairment exists.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Debt Issue Costs: Fees paid to creditors and third-party costs directly associated with debt agreements are capitalized as debt issue costs and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method for revolving credit and term debt through interest expense on the statement of income and is reported as an operating cash flow through amortization on the statement of cash flows. Amortization under the straight line method approximates amortization using the effective interest method for term debt.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term accrued expenses are reflected in the financial statements at historical value, which approximates fair value, because of the short-term duration of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value due to interest rates which are currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB 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 (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other 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.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:
Derivative: The Companys derivative is related to a contingent interest feature on their subordinated debt (Note 2) is reported at fair value. The Company obtains fair value by obtaining the balance that is due to the holder of the instrument which is based on an initial amount owed with compounding interest on a monthly basis. The Company then prepares assumptions for an appropriate interest rate and an expected probability of a change in control to estimate the fair value of the instrument. The Company determined the fair value of the derivative to be recorded as a liability was $833,168, $1,534,717 and $1,391,748 at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company considers these to be Level 2 inputs.
Income Tax and Uncertain Tax Positions: The Company operates as a C Corporation for income tax purposes. Accordingly, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. Management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as various state income taxes. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2012. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Capital Structure: The Companys equity structure consists of 50,000 duly authorized shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, with 20,316 issued and outstanding and 4,750 duly authorized and issued shares of Preferred A Stock, $.01 par value per share at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Preferred A Stock is convertible into common stock based on certain conditional provisions set forth in the amended articles of incorporation of the Company.
The holders of shares of Preferred A Stock shall be entitled to be paid in preference to the holders of any and all other classes of capital stock of the Company, out of funds legally available therefore, when and as declared by the board of directors. Dividends are cumulative at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded quarterly. The liquidation preference at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $366,478, $345,290 and $325,326, respectively (includes $116,478, $95,290 and 75,326, respectively, of dividends in arrears).
In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of Preferred A Stock will receive amounts in accordance with the provisions set forth in the amended articles of incorporation of the Company, before any distributions are made to holders of any other then-outstanding series of common stock. Any remaining net assets will be distributed to holders of common stock.
Stock Based Compensation: The Company recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements for awards of equity instruments to employees based on the grant-date fair value of those awards, estimated in accordance with provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718. In 2013, an employee did not exercise their awarded stock options in accordance with the agreement following termination of employment. This resulted in a reversal of the unvested portion of compensation expense. Stock based compensation expense (income) for 2015, 2014 and 2013 approximated $20,582, $18,000 and ($35,276), respectively, and is recorded in share based compensation on the consolidated income statement and recorded as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.
Relocation Costs: The Company relocated its Defiance Stamping facility from Defiance, Ohio to Napoleon, Ohio during 2015. Relocation costs, which consist of moving costs, remaining lease payments, and other costs associated with replaced facilities and other related expenses, are expensed as incurred.
Reclassification: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation in the Balance Sheet. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net income or shareholders equity for any period presented.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Subsequent Events: Management has performed an analysis of the activities and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2015 to determine the need for any adjustments to and/or disclosures within the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. Management has performed their analysis through March 14, 2016, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
NOTE 2 REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company identified that it was not appropriately recording a derivative liability for a contingent interest feature in its note payable to the Companys majority equity holder. The feature requires the Company to pay contingent interest to the lender at the time of a change in control as defined in the debt agreement. The feature accrues at a rate of 3% of the outstanding debt balance subject to a floor of 50% of the initial principal borrowings of $6,325,000. The fee begins accruing at the inception date of the underlying debt agreement until the time at which a change in control is triggered. The contingent interest still accrues in the event the underlying debt agreement is extinguished. Based on the Companys evaluation of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company determined that this feature was embedded and therefore evaluated it under ASC 815 and determined it is not clearly and closely related to the host instrument, the instrument is not accounted for at fair value through earnings, a separate instrument with the same features would meet the definition of a derivative if it was freestanding, and it does not qualify for an exception from derivative accounting. Therefore, it was determined the feature would be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative. The fair value of the contingent interest feature is to be remeasured at each balance sheet date. The Company determined that the adjustments to record the derivative liability were not made beginning at the Companys opening balance sheet date of July 31, 2009. The Company determined the fair value of the derivative to be recorded as a liability was $833,168, $1,534,717 and $1,391,748 at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company determined that the fair value of the derivative at the opening balance sheet date of July 31, 2009 should have been recorded as an assumed liability in the amount of $675,535 with a corresponding increase to goodwill.
From time to time, the Company is able to make prepayments of the contingent interest. The Company made prepayments in the total amount of $750,000 during 2015. No such prepayments occurred in 2014 or 2013. The Company previously recorded an unamortized prepayment of contingent interest in the amount of $333,333 as an acquired asset on its opening balance sheet as of July 31, 2009 which the Company then subsequently amortized into net income during 2009, 2010 and 2011. As a result of the Companys identification of not appropriately recording the contingent interest feature as a derivative liability, the Company also determined the prepayment that was recorded as an acquired asset should have been a reduction in the fair value of the derivative liability at the time of the prepayment and therefore not capitalized and amortized.
The Company is therefore revising the previously reported financial information for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company considers these adjustments to be immaterial to prior periods.

Other intangible assets include the unpatented technology production process of heavy duty truck axle nuts and washers, customer relationships, and a non-compete agreement. The unpatented technology production process has an indefinite life and is evaluated each year for impairment.
The customer relationship intangible asset was acquired in 2010 as part of the purchase of Specialty Engine of America, Inc. The remaining useful life is approximately nine years. Estimated amortization expense for the customer relationships intangible will approximate $21,400 each of the next five years. The non-compete asset includes agreements with 2 key employees acquired as part of the purchase of JBM Tool & Die. Each agreement is amortized using the straight-line method over the 2 year benefit period when triggered by the respective employees no longer being employed by the Company. One of the employees departed the company in 2013, therefore amortization expense for the non-compete agreement was $7,500 in 2015, $10,000 in 2014 and $2,500 in 2013.
Debt issuance costs are amortized over the remaining life of the related revolving line of credit and long-term debt. The remaining useful is approximately 31 months. Estimated amortization expense for debt issuance costs will approximate $16,700 in 2016 and 2017 and $9,700 in 2018.
NOTE 5 BANK LINE OF CREDIT
The credit agreement had a financing agreement that provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $3,000,000 and term notes (Note 6). The revolving line of credit was subject to a borrowing base calculation and bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 2.50% (effective rate of 2.66% at both December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively) and was due in June 2015. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company replaced the existing credit agreement with a new credit agreement with a different commercial lender in August 2015. The new facility included a revolving line of credit with a borrowing capacity of $4,000,000 and long-term debt (See Note 6). The line of credit is due in August 2018. The new revolving credit agreement bears interest at either the one month LIBOR plus 3.00% or prime (effective rate of 3.50% at December 31, 2015). The agreement is collateralized by all the assets of the Company. The Company had outstanding borrowings of $942,436 and borrowing availability of $2,025,960 at December 31, 2015. In accordance with the terms of the credit agreement, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

The principal sources of deferred tax liabilities are attributable to differences between income tax and financial reporting methods used in recording depreciation, amortization, debt restructuring, and certain accrued liabilities. The deferred tax assets are primarily attributable to transaction costs being amortized for tax purposes, the derivative liability and various inventory and accounts receivable reserves.
NOTE 10STOCK OPTIONS
In July 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan permits the grant of 4,967 various stock awards to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to approved key employees.
During 2011, 892 stock options (options) were granted to a key employee. The options vested over 3 years in equal yearly installments on the anniversary date of the date of grant until the employee terminated employment on January 21, 2013. The employee did not exercise the options within 60 days of cessation of employment, therefore in accordance with the agreement the options expired in 2013.
During 2013, a total of 524 options were granted to two employees. The options become exercisable in equal yearly installments on the anniversary date of each of the three years following the date of grant. The options expire in ten years from the date of grant.

NOTE 10STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)
During 2015, the Company and the holders of these 524 options agreed to exchange the existing options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock with 524 new options. The new options are for the same number of shares but at a lower exercise price. The termination date is ten years from the date of the modification. Due to the modification the Company had an additional stock option modification expense of $2,350. All additional expense is recorded as share based compensation.
During 2015, a total of 1,575 new options were granted to four employees or directors. The options become exercisable in equal yearly installments on the anniversary date of each of the three years following the date of grant. The options expire in ten years from the date of grant.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on comparisons with similar companies. The expected term of the options are based on the exercisable period. The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The remaining weighted average life on the stock options approximates 9 years. The calculation fair value is then recorded net of expected forfeitures.
