INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bear Lake Acquisition Corp.
Rochester, NH
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bear Lake Acquisition Corp. and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 Companys internal control over financial importing.
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2006, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note B of the financial
statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006.

BEAR LAKE ACQUISITION CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
NOTE A NATURE OF BUSINESS
Bear Lake Acquisition Corp. and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) are engaged in the
manufacture of castings and firearms. Firearms account for approximately 90% of the Companys
total sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 and are sold primarily to domestic distributors.
The castings produced by a subsidiary of the Company are used in manufacturing firearms and are
also sold to customers throughout the United States in a variety of industries and account for
approximately 5% of the Companys total sales for the period ending December 31, 2006. The Company
has a subsidiary that consists of one retail store which sells products manufactured by the Company
and other non-manufactured sporting goods, which accounted for the remaining 5% of the Companys
total 2006 sales.
Pursuant to a merger agreement signed December 15, 2006, effective January 3, 2007, Smith & Wesson
Holding Corporation completed the acquisition of Bear Lake Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries,
including Thompson/Center Arms Company, Inc., for $102,000,000 in cash. The former owners
indemnified Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation for certain liabilities, including environmental.
Under the agreement, Bear Lake Acquisition Corp. has indemnified the Company for losses arising
from environmental conditions related to its manufacturing activities.
Of the purchase price, $8.0 million has been placed in an escrow account, pending the finalization
of purchase accounting including an environmental remediation study of the manufacturing site in
Rochester, New Hampshire. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all
remediation costs and potential uses of the escrow. The Company believes the likelihood of
environmental remediation costs exceeding the amount in escrow to be remote.
NOTE B SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts for Bear Lake Acquisition
Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, K. W. Thompson Tool Company, Inc., Thompson/Center Arms
Company, Inc., O. L. Development, Inc., Bear Lake Holdings, Inc. and Fox Ridge Outfitters, Inc.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Our significant estimates include accounts receivable reserves,
allowances for discounts and returns on sales, useful life of intangible assets, useful life of
property, plant and equipment, future product liability, warranty obligations, senior executive
supplemental retirement liability, bonus accruals, deferred tax valuation allowance estimates,
assumptions used to determine fair value of the Companys stock options, liabilities for
self-insured workers compensation and self-insured health care. Additionally, the notes payable to
former stockholders are discounted to adjust the rate in the notes to a rate indicative of the
risks involved in these notes. Forecasted principal payment amounts and an assumed interest rate
were used to determine the discounted amount. The timing of these principal payments and/or a
change in the rate could have a material impact on interest expense. Actual amounts may differ
from these estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities approximate the
carrying values due to their short-term nature or market rates of interest.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the following four basic criteria have been met: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided; (3)
the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the related receivable is reasonably
assured.
The Company offers extended payment programs of six months, consistent with industry practices, to
certain customers. Revenue is recognized on these transactions upon title transfer, and at that
time, the Company provides for estimated returns based upon historical return rates for these
programs. The Company has not experienced significant credit losses on these transactions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables
We extend credit to our domestic and some foreign distributors based upon their financial
condition. We offer discounts for early payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated
based on the Companys historical losses, the existing economic conditions and the financial
stability of its customers. Receivables are written off when they are determined to be
uncollectible. Historically, the realized losses have been within the range of managements
estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist
principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The Company maintains its cash in
bank deposit accounts at a local financial institution, which at times during the year may exceed
federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in the accounts. The
Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in its cash accounts. We perform
ongoing credit evaluations of our customers financial condition and generally do not require
collateral.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting primarily of finished firearms components, finished firearms, and related
products and accessories, are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method, or market. An allowance for potential non-saleable inventory due to excess stock or
obsolescence is provided based upon a detailed review of inventory components, past history, and
expected future usage.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment, consisting of land, building, improvements, machinery, equipment,
computers, furniture, and fixtures, are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method
BEAR LAKE ACQUISITION CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings
as incurred; additions, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are
retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
A summary of the estimated useful lives is as follows:
|

Intangible Assets
Identified intangible assets include customer lists and patents, both with estimated lives of 5
years. We amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. The Company monitors its
intangible assets for impairment indicators. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company did
not identify any indications of impairment.
Valuation of Long-lived Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, or asset groups, whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Should such evaluations
indicate that the related future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying
values of the assets, such carrying values would be reduced to fair value and this adjusted
carrying value would become the assets new cost basis. Fair value is determined primarily using
future anticipated cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a
direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset, or asset group, discounted using an
interest rate commensurate with the risk involved. We have determined that there were no
impairments to long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2006.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees are being amortized using the straight-line basis which approximates the
effective interest method over the term of the related debt.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based upon income reported in the accompanying financial
statements. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts
of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized
for tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.
Sales and Promotional Related Expenses
Product sales are presented in the financial statements net of customer promotional program
costs that depend on the volume of sales. We have other customer promotional programs, the costs
of which do not depend on the volume of sales and are included in selling and marketing expenses in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.

Vendors Products.
Advertising Costs
The Company generally expenses advertising cost in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Position (SOP) 93-7, Reporting on Advertising Costs (see Note M). The Company has a television
show which is used to promote the Companys and certain sponsors products. The cost of producing
the show, net of sponsorship income, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the period which
the episode is contracted to air.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company includes shipping and handling costs as cost of goods sold (see Note N). Shipping
costs generally comprise payments to third-party shippers for the transportation of the Companys
products. Handling costs are costs incurred to move and prepare the products for shipment. In
some cases, the Company does charge customers a fee for shipping costs and records these fees as
revenue.
Foreign Currency
The Company enters into certain transactions in currencies other than its local currency, the U. S.
dollar. These transaction gains and losses that arise from these transactions are immaterial and
included in results of operations as incurred.
Stock Options
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 123R, Share Based Payment, a revision of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation and superseding Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires the Company to recognize the cost of employee services
received in exchange for grants issued under stock option and employee stock purchase plans, based
on the fair value of awards, and recognized over the vesting period of the plans using the modified
prospective transition method. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company measured employee stock based
compensation under the provisions of APB Opinion 25 as permitted by SFAS 123. APB Opinion 25
provided for the compensation cost to be recognized over the vesting period of the options based on
the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the Companys stock and the option price
on grant date.
Under the modified prospective method, the Company recognized compensation expense in the financial
statements for periods subsequent to January 1, 2006 for all stock-based payments granted, modified
or settled subsequent to January 1, 2006 as well as for any awards that were granted prior to
January 1, 2006 which were not fully vested as of that date. Compensation expense for those awards
issued prior to January 1, 2006 was recognized using the fair values determined for the pro forma
disclosures on stock-based compensation under SFAS 123.
The share-based compensation resulting from the application of SFAS 123R for the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2006 and for any awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006 which
were not fully vested as of that date, was $160,832, which was expensed as a component of general
and administrative expense for the year ending December 31, 2006.

Product Liability
We provide reserves for potential product liability defense costs based on estimates determined in
consultation with litigation counsel, exclusive of any insurance reimbursements. Adjustments to the
provision for product liability are evaluated on an on-going basis and are charged or credited to
cost of sales. This evaluation is based upon information regarding potential and existing product
liability cases. Any future costs as a result of this evaluation are recorded when considered both
probable and reasonably estimable. Certain product liability costs are subject to reimbursement by
insurance carriers.
Warranty
We generally provide a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser of our new firearms
products. Estimated warranty obligations are provided for in the period in which the related
revenue is recognized. We quantify and record an estimate for warranty related costs based on our
actual historical claims experience and the current repair costs. Adjustments are made to accruals
as warranty claim data and historical experience warrant. Should we experience actual claims and
repair costs that are higher than the estimated claims and repair costs used to calculate the
provision, our operating results for the period or periods in which such returns or additional
costs materialize would be adversely impacted.

NOTE D INVESTMENT
At December 31, 2006, the Company had an investment in its former product liability insurance
provider (PLIC). This investment was made as the PLIC passed a resolution requiring all
policyholders to purchase shares in the PLIC equal to one-third of the deposit premiums for
policies initiated between July 1, 2002 and June 30, 2003. Dividends are paid on the amount
invested at LIBOR plus 3%. The shares hold no voting rights, and they are redeemable at the option
of the Company or the PLIC any time after July 1, 2007 at the paid in value, subject to the PLICs
statutory capital and surplus equaling at least

$4,000,000. The shares may also be redeemable, based on a vesting schedule relating to the length
of time the Company is a policyholder, at the option of the PLIC if the Company ceases to be a
policyholder.
On March 31, 2005 the Company changed insurance providers. The Company elected to pay the final
installment for the required investment in PLIC of $26,500 and hold the investment in PLIC until
maturity on July 1, 2007. Since the Company ceased to use PLIC as an insurance provider the
investment was deemed impaired and written down to its vested value ($42,400 at December 31, 2006).
The total amount paid for this investment was $106,000.

Notes payable to the former stockholder require payment of interest quarterly. In addition, annual
principal payments are required; however, the Company can elect to make additional principal
payments during the year. The required principal payments are based on an excess cash calculation
for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008 with a final payment due in fiscal 2009. These annual
payments are computed as 50% of the Excess Cash Flow, as defined and 50% of the required payment
is to be paid by the 20th day of January immediately following the measuring fiscal
year. The remaining balance of the Excess Cash Flow payment is required to be paid on the
earlier of seven days after the approval and delivery of audited financial statements or the
30th day of April. Excess Cash Flow as defined in the agreement is generally computed
as the Companys annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less
capital expenditures, less interest paid, less taxes paid, less principal debt payments, less
changes in net working capital, as defined.
BEAR LAKE ACQUISITION CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
The discount on the notes payable to former stockholders was computed from the difference between
an effective 15% interest rate factor and the stated rate. The effective rate used was based on a
return on equity, recognizing that the timing of certain payments is contingent on cash flow of the
acquired company. The difference between the effective rate of 15% and stated or contractual rate,
prime rate plus 3% (capped at 9%) which was 9% at December 31, 2006, is being amortized as interest
over the term of the debt.
The Company has a term note and a revolving line-of-credit from a bank. Both instruments are part
of the same debt agreement. The revolving line-of-credit is classified as a demand facility, with
a termination date of December 2, 2007. The Company may borrow the lesser of $12,000,000 (not
including existing letters of credit of $125,000) on its revolving line-of-credit or an amount
based on acceptable accounts receivable and inventory (the Borrowing Base). The borrowing base
at December 31, 2006, provided a net borrowing availability of $8,476,471. The revolving line of
credit is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and guaranteed by the Company and its
subsidiaries. Borrowings on the revolving line of credit bear interest at Prime Rate or LIBOR plus
2.5% at the option of the Company. At December 31, 2006, there was $0 outstanding on the
line of credit. The term note bears interest at Prime Rate, which was 8.25% or LIBOR plus 2.5% at
December 31, 2006. The term note and the line of credit contain the following restrictive
covenants; book net worth, maximum capital expenditures and debt service coverage ratio, as
defined. As of December 31, 2006, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants and
received a waiver of these covenants for the period ended December 31, 2006.
All outstanding debt obligations were repaid in January 2007, prior to the Companys acquisition as
more fully described in Note A.
Loan Origination Fees
The Company incurred loan origination fees in connection with establishing its revolving
line-of-credit and term note. These fees have been deferred and are being amortized over the life
of the debt instruments. Total fees incurred for the term note were $25,399 and the life of the
related instrument is five years. Total fees incurred for the revolving line-of-credit were
$101,594 and the life of the related instrument is three years. Amortization expense of
approximately $38,940 was included as interest expense in the statement of operations for the year

NOTE O RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a defined contribution profit-sharing plan covering substantially all employees
based on certain eligibility criteria. The Board of Directors, at its discretion, determines
contributions to be made from net income of the Company. The Company accrued $800,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2006. In addition, the Company has a 401(k) feature to the profit-sharing plan.
The profit-sharing plan calls for the Company to make matching contributions equal to 50% of the
first 6% of participating employees wages. The Companys accrued matching contributions were
$226,095 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In addition, the Company has a senior executive supplemental retirement plan (executive plan) for
certain officers, which covered six current and former executives at December 31, 2006. Benefits
under this plan are paid monthly (currently monthly benefit is $2,863 and is adjusted annually
based on the percent change in the CPI for all Urban Consumers) for ten years following the
retirement of an officer or director. This is an unfunded, non-qualified and non-contributory Plan
whereby all future obligations are paid by the Company. As of December 31, 2006, $931,204 has been
accrued in the financial statements, based upon the present value of the estimated future
obligation using a discount rate of 8.5% and the remaining months of commitment or in the case of
the current executive, the expected retirement date.
Estimated annual amounts to be paid without considering future annual adjustments on the executive
plan are as follows:

Under the executive plan, the Company may also be required to continue to pay the Companys portion
of health insurance premiums as offered to employees until the retiree becomes eligible for
Medicare. As of December 31, 2006, there were three individuals receiving cash payments under this
plan and none of them was eligible to receive the health insurance benefit. Two current officers
are eligible to receive the health insurance portion of the plan upon retirement and the Company
had an independent analysis done to determine the future liability of the plan. Based on this
analysis, the Company has accrued for and expensed $13,052 in Post Retirement Medical cost in
general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2006. This valuation used
active census data provided by KW Thompson Co. and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for
2006 uses a disclosure discount rate of 5.75%.
NOTE P OPERATING/CAPITAL LEASES
The Company is leasing equipment and a building under operating leases that continue through

NOTE R COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in a number of cases involving product liability claims. At December
31, 2006, the Company has product liability accruals totaling $1,395,852, for which $405,828 is
classified as current. The Company has insurance coverage for claims in excess of its self-insured
retention amount at December 31, 2006, which is currently at $1,000,000 per claim. The Company
provides reserves for potential product liability defense costs based on estimates determined in
consultation with litigation counsel, exclusive of any insurance reimbursements. Adjustments to the
provision for product liability are evaluated on an on-going basis and are charged or credited to
cost of sales. This evaluation is based upon information regarding potential and existing claims.
The Company is liable for a percentage of the clean up of an environmental group site of a former
vendor with which the Company formerly did business. The Company has a 0.05% responsibility for
the total assessment of this site. The latest annual assessment issued by the ReSolve Site Group
(the group responsible for managing the clean up of the site) for the period from July 1, 2006 to
June 30, 2007 was $860,000 and the Companys share was $456.
NOTE S SPLIT-DOLLAR INSURANCE/CASH SURRENDER VALUES POLICY RECEIVABLE
The Company and two of its former stockholders had purchased life insurance policies which are
owned by those stockholders. Premiums on these policies were paid by both the Company and the
former stockholders personally. The agreements require the Company to be reimbursed for its share
of the premiums paid upon termination of agreement or payment of death benefits. Amounts due from
the former stockholders relating to these agreements amounted to $1,046,936 at December 31, 2006.
During 2006, the Company settled for full value four of the five life insurance policies it had
maintained on two former stockholders for which the Company was the beneficiary. The cash
surrender value of the one remaining policy amounted to $20,831 at December 31, 2006.
NOTE T CONCENTRATIONS
One customer accounted for approximately 10% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2006.
BEAR LAKE ACQUISITION CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
Two customers accounted for approximately 49% of the outstanding accounts receivable balance as of
December 31, 2006.
NOTE U SELF-INSURANCE
Self-Insured Health Insurance Plan
The Company is self-insured for health benefits provided to employees. The Company maintains
stop-loss insurance coverage. For the period ended December 31, 2006, the aggregate stop loss
threshold after which the re-insurer will cover claims incurred was $3,345,096. The Company had
recorded a receivable for $75,767 from the insurance company at December 31, 2006. For the year
ended December 31, 2006, the Company had paid out a total of $3,760,374 in claims.
Self-Insured Workers Compensation
The Company ceased to self-insure for workers compensation and purchased coverage on a guaranteed
contract policy basis on November 5, 2005 but is still responsible for outstanding claims pending
during the period of the self-insurance/large deductible policy. The Company estimates that the
amount of the outstanding claims owed at December 31, 2006 is approximately $80,165 and has accrued
for this amount in other long term liabilities. This accrual is based on identified claim
incidents during the self-insured period.
NOTE V STOCK OPTIONS
2005 Stock Incentive Plan
The Company has granted stock options to purchase shares of common stock to certain employees under
the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan adopted by the Board of Directors on January 10, 2005. The plan has
two types of options, Incentive Stock Options (ISO Options) and Special Value Appreciation Stock
options (VAR Options). The stock option agreements for those options issued in 2005 included a
change in control provision that allowed for accelerated vesting upon a signed agreement of merger.
Under that provision, a portion of the ISO Options and all of the outstanding VAR options vested
in December 2006.
Approximately 680.3 shares of vested options were exercised in December 2006 and generated
significant tax deductions in excess of book compensation expense of approximately $3.0 million,
the effect of which is reflected in additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated
statement of stockholders equity.
Incentive Stock Options
Options become fully exercisable in four years with graded vesting of 20% at issue and 20% each
year thereafter. ISO Options expire five years from the grant date. ISO Option activity is
summarized initially and at December 31, 2006 of below:

difference between the value of the Company stock at the effective date of merger (see Note A) and
the exercise price of the underlying options.
Special VAR Stock Options
The Company also has special value appreciation stock options (the VAR Options). These options
are part of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan entered into by the Board of Directors on January 10,
2005. The VAR options vest over a five-year period. These options expire five years from the
grant date. To the extent vested, the VAR Options shall only become exercisable by holder upon a

(the Exercise Condition). The exercise price for each of these options is five times fair market
value ($1,000) of the share price at the grant date or $5,000 per share. The grant date for these
options was January 10, 2005. Under the terms of the agreement, all of the VAR options vested upon
the signed agreement of merger in December 2006.
