Subject FW: Trends and Reconciliation to Tax Returns

Lacking general ledger and reviewing all the cash flows, it appears that some of the loans made in
July were repaid in July — The attached is show the change in loans from June 30 to July 25. Per
the Catherine at Artspace, the debt that is subject to 3X is $736K. The additional payables owed
by Black trust were to be commissions. Not clear on what is to be paid on non-3x debt, but
conversation with Catherine on conference call was only the 3x debt.
Last, the payment of Pillsbury legal fees were prepayment for services (ie to cover sale
negotiations)

It appears there was a repayment in July of the July loans of $145K as well — not clear where the
money came from this. Not scientific as I have not combed all bank statements.

There are a smattering of bank statements on dropbox. An extract from the July Chase statement
summarizes large inflows and outflows (pasted below) — not sure if readable on handheld. Capital
Infusion by equityholders — Canaan, Vroom, Levene, Mott, Kramlich = $412K; payments to
Pillsbury Winthrop $235k, Trinet $153K; Sparring Capital Partners $30K. Sparring appears to be
M&A advice.

Richard/Eileen,
I have created a simple spreadsheet (ArtSpace Trends) that shows the major Income statements
and Balance Sheet items by month. I will look at this to verify where the cash is going.
In the meantime I also used this file to tie back the QB fmancials to the Tax Returns and highlight
any differences.
Note 2013 is based on accruals, while 2011 and 2012 was on a Cash basis.
As I look at 2012 and 2013 the major differences are disallowable T&E for Tax purposes.
Comparing the tax returns to the QB files this gives us a comfort level on the validity of the data.
I will perform some substantial testing to verify salaries etc.
(I will also question Catherine on some of the classification of 2011 expenses)
I will keep you updated as I make progress.
