INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Vintage Stock, Inc.

Joplin, Missouri

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Vintage Stock, Inc. which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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 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 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 from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 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 entity’s 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 financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

 

   

 

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vintage Stock, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

(1)SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of business The Company operates a chain of retail stores throughout the central United States which buy, sell and trade new and pre-owned movies, music, video games, comics, books, and collectibles.

 

Statements of cash flows Cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the date of their acquisition.

 

Revenue recognition Merchandise and rental asset revenue is recognized at the point of sale or rental or at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Additionally, revenues are presented net of estimated returns and exclude all sales taxes.

 

Gift card liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue at the time of sale. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized upon redemption of the gift cards or when it is determined that gift cards will not be redeemed.

 

The Company provides customers with the opportunity to trade in used merchandise in exchange for cash consideration or store credit. Merchandise inventory is recorded at a cost equal to the cash offered to the customer. If a customer chooses store credit, credit is issued for the amount of the cash offer plus a premium. Premiums associated with store credit issued as a result of trade in transactions are recorded as expense in the period in which the credits are issued.

 

Inventories Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost or market using the individual item method, as determined by the average cost method.

 

Property and equipment and related depreciation - Property and equipment has been stated at cost. Depreciation has been computed by applying the straight-line method and the following estimated lives:

 

Category Estimated Life
Equipment and furnishings 3-10 years
Leasehold improvements 6-19 years

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life or their remaining lease term.

 

Non-compete agreement The non-compete agreement has been amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year life of the agreement. The balance sheets reflect the unamortized amount of such costs.

 

Goodwill Goodwill has been amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten year period. The balance sheets reflect the unamortized amount of such costs.

(1)SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Use of estimates - Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

 

Income taxes - The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under such provisions, all income, losses and credits are passed through to the stockholders with no income tax consequences resulting to the Company, unless the Company sells assets owned prior to electing S-Corporation status within ten years of the election and is required to pay tax on the recapture of built-in gains. The Company’s policy is to pay distributions at least equal to the stockholders’ additional individual income taxes incurred for their proportionate share of the corporation’s taxable income.

 

The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of an asset or liability or disclosure in the financial statements. A tax asset or liability would be recognized if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Company believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010. However, tax years prior to 2010 remain subject to examination by certain states. The Company does not believe it likely that changes will occur within the next fiscal year that will have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

Advertising costs - The Company expenses non-direct response advertising costs as they are incurred.

 

Sales taxes - The Company’s policy is to present taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis. The Company records the amounts collected as a current liability and relieves such liability upon remittance to the taxing authority without impacting revenues or expenses.

 

Freight costs - The Company includes freight costs in cost of goods sold. Total freight and shipping expense included for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $127,806 and $102,941, respectively.
