Independent Auditors’ Report
 
The Board of Directors
 
ArtSelect, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ArtSelect, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ArtSelect, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, as of January 1, 2005.

ARTSELECT, INC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004


(1)  
Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a)  
Organization and Description of Business
 
ArtSelect, Inc. (the Company) is a supplier of wall décor to retailers, catalogers, membership organizations, and consumers through both online and traditional retail and wholesale distribution channels.
 
(b)  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment and valuation allowances for receivables and sales returns, inventories, and deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
(c)  
Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
(d)  
Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on specific past due balances and historical write-off experiences. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
 
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the use of credit cards, the number of customers, and their geographic dispersion. The Company performs initial and periodic ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral.
 
(e)  
Inventory
 
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods. Raw materials include prints, mats, frames, molding, and packaging material. Finished goods consist of preframed art. Both categories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method based on rolling average cost.
 
(f)  
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

(g)  
Software
 
The Company capitalized software development costs for modifications to its Web site and management information systems that result in additional functionality. Software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Amortization of capitalized software development costs during 2005 and 2004 was $243,025 and $185,408, respectively.
 
(h)  
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted by existing accounting standards, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 123, as amended. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss if the fair value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each year:
 

   
2005
 
2004
 
Net loss, as reported
 
$
(452,231
)
 
(1,037,425

method, net of tax

)
 
 
Net loss—pro forma
 
$
(457,606
)
 
(1,037,425
)
               
 
The calculated fair value of stock options granted, following calculation methods prescribed by FASB Statement No. 123, uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Fair value per share was calculated on the date of grant using the minimum value method. The following additional weighted average assumptions were used: no dividends, volatility of 1%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.5% and 5.0% and an expected life outstanding of 10 years for the options granted in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Beginning on January 1, 2006, the Company will be required to record compensation expense related to grants of options for common stock to employees using the estimated grant-date fair value of the option. The amount to be recorded will be higher than the amounts in the table above as the Company will no longer be permitted to use the minimum volatility method.

December 31, 2005 and 2004
 
(i)  
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. 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.
 
(j)  
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped and title is transferred to the customer. Revenue sold via the Company’s Web site and/or the Web site’s subdomains is recognized on a gross basis. Revenue sold through the customer’s distribution channels is recognized net of related costs. The Company bases its estimates for sales returns on historical experience and has not experienced significant fluctuations between estimated and actual return activity.
 
(k)  
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company classifies shipping and handling costs in cost of goods sold in the statements of operations.
 
(l)  
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement is a revision to Statement No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This statement will require measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock options. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company will adopt this statement on January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method of application. Under that method, the Company will recognize compensation costs for new grants of share-based awards, awards modified after the effect date, and the remaining portion of the fair value of the unvested awards at the adoption date.

ARTSELECT, INC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Under this statement, such items will be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement will be effective for the Company for inventory costs incurred on or after January 1, 2006. The adoption of this statement will not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Statement No. 154 establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to a newly adopted accounting principle. This statement will be effective for the Company for all accounting changes and any error corrections occurring after January 1, 2006.
 
(m)  
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
 
In May 2003, FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, was issued. This statement establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The statement also includes required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. For the Company, the statement was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise became effective as of January 1, 2004, except for certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, the statement became effective for the Company on January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 150 for its mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as of January 1, 2005 (note 8).

(5)  
Major Service Provider
 
The Company currently utilizes the services of one independent artwork and framing supply company to manufacture and ship approximately 50% of the products ordered through the Company’s Web sites or through its customer’s distribution channels. The time and transition to switch to other providers, if necessary, could cause a disruption in services and operations of the Company.

At December 31, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $4,929,593, which are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, through 2022. The loss carryforwards expire in various amounts from 2020 through 2024. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code relating to changes in ownership. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for its entire net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2005 as it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized due to uncertainty as to future utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards, due primarily to its history of operating losses. The change in valuation allowance between December 31, 2005 and 2004 was a decrease of approximately $61,972.

The Company has designated and authorized 10,000,000 shares as preferred stock with 2,500,000 shares designated as redeemable Series A convertible participating preferred stock (Series A stock) and 5,499,041 shares designated as redeemable Series B convertible participating preferred stock (Series B stock). The remaining 2,000,959 shares are undesignated. The Series A and Series B stock have full voting rights and are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. The Series B stock earns annual/cumulative dividends at 6% of the stated value per share. The Series A stock has no stated dividend, but would participate in any dividends paid on common stock.
 
Series A and Series B stock have a mandatory redemption provision whereby, upon demand by the holder, within 180 days subsequent to July 26, 2007, the Company is required to redeem the stock at a defined redemption price. The redemption price for Series A stock is the original purchase price plus 6% per annum. The redemption price for Series B stock is equal to the original purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The carrying value of the Series A and Series B stock is being accreted to the defined redemption price over the period until the initial redemption date. The liquidation value of the Series A and Series B stock at December 31, 2005 is $1,459,612 and $8,123,729, respectively. The total liquidation value of the Series A and Series B stock on the July 26, 2007 redemption date is $10,353,160.
 
At December 31, 2005, and 2004, the liquidation preference value of the Series A and Series B stock totaled approximately $9,583,341 and $9,137,153, respectively. Liquidation preferences reside with the Series B holders first, secondly with the Series A holders, and then the common stockholders in the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or a winding up of the Company. In addition to the liquidation preference, Series A and B stockholders participate with the common holders in any remaining assets upon liquidation, up to a maximum of three times their initial investment. Aggregate cumulative preferred dividends in arrears on the Series B stock were $2,169,899 and $1,754,888 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In April 2000, as part of a short-term bridge financing agreement, warrants for 114,797 shares of redeemable Series B preferred stock were issued at an exercise price of $1.31. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant was determined by a minimum valuation model to be $35,587, or $0.31 per warrant, and was expensed over the term of the agreement. The warrants expired unexercised in April 2005.
 
In July 2000, the Company issued 4,591,874 shares of Series B stock for $6,000,000, or $1.31 a share.
 
Both of these Series B issuances had revenue targets that were to have been achieved by June 2001. The targets were not achieved and the maximum of 773,043 (with exercise price of $0.01 a share) and 19,326 shares of redeemable Series B preferred stock purchase warrants were issued. Of these issued warrants, 773,043 have been exercised as of December 31, 2005. The remaining 19,326 warrants expired unexercised in April 2005.
 
On January 19, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the Further Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation according to which the mandatory redemption period of the preferred stock was advanced from the 180-day period beginning July 26, 2005 to the 180-day period beginning July 26, 2007. In consideration for this deferment, the Company made 17 million shares of common stock at $0.001 par value available for issuance to holders of preferred stock who signed the agreement by January 31, 2005. On January 31, 2005, the Company issued 16,745,516 shares of common stock to holders of preferred stock who signed the agreement. The common stock was recorded in the financial statements at a value of $334,910.
 
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 150, which requires the Company to classify its mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as a liability at the present value of the redemption amount, with changes in the fair value recorded through the statements of operations. As a result, the accretion of preferred stock was recorded as interest expense during 2005.

The 2000 Plan authorized grants of options to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock. In January 2005, the 2000 Plan was amended to increase the number of authorized grants of options to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock. The exercise price for options under the 2000 Plan shall generally be at the stock’s fair market value on the grant date, and options must be exercised no later than 10 years from the grant date, unless otherwise specified.
