TruBrand™ Spectra has completed the development of a new label technology and smartphone application which reliably confirms the authenticity of high value brands in the retail environment. Customers can ensure they are buying a real product and brand owners can obtain valuable data on their customers who are using the TruBrand™ app connected to our secure servers and data mining operations. 2 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014OUR CUSTOMERS OUR PROGRESS Our customers include a G8 central bank organization and one of the world’s largest commercial security printers and papermakers, which supplies the Company’s technology to a second G8 central bank and numerous other central banks. Our solutions are used by: – 19 central banks – Commercial security printers and papermakers – Crane & Co – National lotteries in seven countries – Suppliers of security threads for world currencies – Intralot SA – Scientific Games International – GTECH S.p.A. TM The world’s first banknote cleaning system Overview The area of banknote fitness and cleaning continues to provide the Company with a potentially much larger target market within the banknote industry than our security activities, and will enable us to provide central banks with products which generate an immediate return on investment. – Aeris™ extracts sebum and other contaminants that limit the useability of paper substrate banknotes through soiling. – Dry process that does not compromise substrate, security features or print. – Process over 1 million banknotes per day. – Banknotes can remain strapped or bundled during processing for easy handling and high productivity. – Lower environmental impact of shredded notes. Cleaned half of bank note Aeris™ progress Our progress with testing AerisTM has demonstrated a strong business case which we believe will prove compelling but will require patience and continued efforts to create a level of comfort through increasingly larger volume testing. Aeris™ outlook The Board continues to be particularly excited by this technology, which has the potential to substantially reduce central bank costs and environmental issues in disposing of soiled banknotes. It was therefore delighted that two US patents on the use of supercritical fluids for cleaning and decontaminating banknotes in circulation were issued to the Company in January 2015. 3 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014Review of the yearOUR STRATEGY The Company’s strategy for increasing revenue and earnings is based on: Strategic aim Development strategy Progress Integrate advanced technologies into existing security products Integrate new machine-readable technologies into public security features for banknotes, tax stamps and brand product packaging with a focus on Asia. – Covert machine-readable technology developed to scale up levels with central bank and available for sale worldwide. – Agreement with a large Asian central bank – Covert technologies. – No redesign of banknotes or tax stamps required for faster adoption. under review.

Prospects include: – G8 central bank; – Asian central banks; and – new five year contract for tax stamp holograms and real estate candidate in Asia. – Growth in online lotteries in the USA. – Pending bids in foreign lotteries. – Higher margins for bundled devices. – Under evaluation by Asian spirits customer. – Opportunities for apparel and footwear. – Commercial machine available for sale in Q3 2015. OUR MARKETS Spectra Systems’ market opportunity has expanded dramatically with our introduction of the world’s first banknote cleaning system, Aeris™. With nearly 150 billion banknotes manufactured yearly at a cost approaching US$10 billion annually along with the increasing demands that governments reduce costs, we are poised to capitalize on our banknote cleaning technology. Aeris™ machines have the potential for generating over US$1 billion of hardware sales with ongoing service revenue. Aeris™ has no competition and, now that patents have been issued, the market is ours exclusively. The combination of the banknote authentication market, where we are one of several competing companies, along with the Aeris™ banknote cleaning system, where we will be the sole supplier, dramatically expands the market potential of this sector of our business within the coming years. Our high-speed, machine-readable banknote authentication technology is utilized by many central banks to prevent sophisticated counterfeiting of their currency and will facilitate our ability to introduce and sell Aeris™ systems. Spectra’s secure internal control systems (ICS) software products have been augmented with new capabilities since the acquisitions and have resulted in revenue growth potential with existing customers as well as with new ones. Our ICS software products provide methods for fraud detection and statistical analysis and have recently been adopted in internet-based lotteries, a growing sector of the gaming industry. Spectra’s suite of portable reader-based solutions including smartphone app-based products can be used for authenticating and tracking consumer and tax-bearing products, both locally and through cloud-based internet connections. The fusion of our physical products along with internet-based operations has the potential for significantly expanding this segment of our business. 5 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014Review of the yearCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT Through achieving key commercial milestones, Spectra Systems has increased revenues substantially over those generated in 2013. Introduction Through achieving key commercial milestones, Spectra Systems has increased revenues substantially over those generated in 2013, which has resulted in a return to profits, with 2013 losses transformed into a meaningful profit in 2014. – the qualification of our new manufacturing facility by our partner, a major worldwide supplier of banknote printing services and paper, and first shipments from our facility to that partner; and tangible traction towards final material qualification by a G8 central bank, which is anticipated later this year; and Revenue exceeded prior year by 46% at US$16,906k (2013: US$11,572k). EBITDA for the year, adjusted primarily for stock compensation expense, amounted to US$2,143k, compared to a prior year loss before exceptional items of US$(657k). Revenue was driven by exceptionally large material orders from our G8 central bank customer. Although orders of this magnitude are unlikely in 2015, the customer is considering entering into a ten year contract which will include materials as well as quality control equipment and services. Such a contract is expected to reimburse cost incurred in building the facility and would enhance the visibility of future revenues. Improved margins from both cost-cutting initiatives and lower manufacturing costs from the in-house facility are long-lived initiatives which will contribute to profitability going forward. Cash at the period end amounted to US$9,773k (2013: US$13,435k), which reflects the acquisition of Inksure assets for approximately US$1.4million and the settlement of the lawsuit for approximately US$2million. The Company has no debt and therefore has sufficient resources to execute on its manufacturing plans with its cash reserves. Review of operations Authentication Systems The Spectra Systems Authentication Systems activities delivered a particularly strong performance compared to 2013, generating revenue of US$15,527k (2013: US$9,982k) and EBITDA of US$1,924k, compared to a prior year loss of US$(1,143k). Particular achievements included: – the successful completion of a very large order for a central bank customer, demonstrating our ability to deliver large volumes of machine-readable authentication consumables on time and to a consistently high quality; – the delivery of over 115 upgraded sensors in 2014, with the remainder to be delivered in 2015 to a G8 central bank, demonstrating our capability to provide extremely sophisticated hardware systems. This order also serves to support the longevity of our future consumable sales to this customer; – phosphor sales reaching record levels in 2014; 6 – the ongoing evaluation by a G8 central bank of a new covert security feature for polymer notes, which is a refinement of the second generation authentication work funded and abruptly canceled by another G8 central bank last year. In addition, discussions with a major Asian central bank for a banknote security feature based on this technology are expected to result in a development agreement in 2015. Our Authentication Systems businesses delivered a particularly strong performance in 2014, a year in which they benefited from several significant contracts (for sensors and the very large consumables order); however, the revenues from these contracts are not expected to be replicated in 2015. The Board is, however, confident that new opportunities for consumables will compensate for these concluded revenues within several years. In the branded goods industry, the use of mobile phones to authenticate products has been regarded as the holy grail of the authentication industry for many years. Many have tried producing security features that are easily subverted or simply only work in highly controlled environments. Spectra has solved this problem and has a label available for sale called TruBrandTM, which is compatible with most, but not all, packaging. In parallel, it is continuing work on a version which will allow us to tap into the sportswear and footwear market, which requires soft fabric-based labels. Secure Transactions Group technologies The Secure Transactions Group, formed around the various gaming technology acquisitions made in 2012, performed in line with management expectations, generating EBITDA of US$569k (2013: US$760k) on revenue of US$1,379k (2013: US$1,590k). The decrease in revenue was anticipated as a result of certain customers transitioning to in-house control systems, as well as expected delays in contract execution gap for new customers. The Secure Transactions Group has been particularly successful in upselling existing customers to its “Premier Integrity” package, which includes bundled licensing, integration of new games, and services. This bundling approach, with higher overall margins, allows us to maintain our revenue base as we continue to compete for new lottery and gaming customers worldwide. Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 201446% Increase in revenues 2,143K Adjusted EBITDA (US$) Banknote cleaning The area of banknote fitness and cleaning continues to provide the Company with a potentially much larger target market within the banknote industry than our security activities, and will enable us to provide central banks with products which generate an immediate return on investment. While there was no revenue contribution from the business line in 2014 or 2013, development expenses related to the product validation and marketing were US$350k (2013: US$274k). This strategy will allow the Company to further exploit its largely developed expertise and technology. In the same way that machine-readable features are added to holograms in our tax stamp and brand authentication products, we are attempting to introduce high-level, covert features into banknotes within existing public features such as inks, security threads and phosphors. By doing so, we hope to overcome the long cycle note redesign process. We believe we will be able to tap into the Asian market with this approach, in both the banknote and product authentication sides of the technology. Notwithstanding the decision of the Banco de México, which is heavily invested in polymer notes, that Spectra Systems’ AerisTM banknote cleaning technology was not appropriate for its needs, testing of the technology continues with a G8 central bank, with very positive results, and is scheduled to commence with an Asian central bank in Q3 2015. The Board continues to be particularly excited by this technology, which has the potential to substantially reduce central bank costs and environmental issues in disposing of soiled banknotes. It was therefore delighted that two US patents on the use of supercritical fluids for cleaning and decontaminating banknotes in circulation were issued to the Company in January 2015. Our progress with testing AerisTM has demonstrated a strong business case which we believe will prove compelling but will require patience and continued efforts to create a level of comfort through increasingly larger volume testing. Strategy The Company’s strategy for increasing revenue and earnings is based on: – integrating new machine-readable technologies into public security features for banknotes, tax stamps and brand product packaging with a particular focus on Asia; – expanding our Secure Transactions Group contributions by providing higher value product upgrades to existing customers; – continuing to develop a smartphone-based physical authentication technology to allow consumers to authenticate branded products in real time using mobile phone platforms; – validating our products that result in significant savings for central banks with regards to note processing and replacement volumes; and – controlling operating costs while maintaining strong capabilities for delivery of products as well as development of technology. Prospects The Company’s prospects have continued to grow through the combination of the Company’s organic banknote and product authentication development efforts and the Inksure acquisition, as well as our demonstration of a breakthrough technology for cleaning banknotes. Particularly important avenues for revenue growth are: – increased sales of taggants and readers to primarily Asian customers in the brand authentication sector; – smartphone based product authentication which is gaining customers in Asia; and – the eventual adoption of our new generation covert security feature in the polymer notes of a G8 central bank and a newly developed covert feature for a major Asian central bank by 2017. The combination of our new manufacturing facility shipping product for use by 18 central banks and the expected material qualification and contract renewal with a G8 central bank in 2014 will have a significant impact on our machine-readable materials margins. With more aggressive marketing efforts by our licensing partner, we anticipate increasing earnings from such successes. We are delighted that the overall business is on an upward trajectory. However, as stated above, we benefited in 2014 from several significant contracts, the revenues from which are not expected to be replicated in 2015. The Board is, however, confident that new opportunities for consumables will compensate for these concluded revenues within several years. The Board therefore believes that the Company continues to have excellent prospects. Nabil M.

Review of business and future developments A review of the operations of the Group is contained in the Group at a glance review on pages 2–3. Principal risks and uncertainties and financial risk management Complex products Certain of the products produced by the Company are highly complex and are designed to be used in complex systems. Failure to correct errors or other problems identified after deployment could result in events that may have a negative effect on the Company’s business and financial conditions. The Company’s markets may become impacted by technological change Markets for the Company’s products may become characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. The introduction of products embodying new technology and the emergence of new industry standards could render the Company’s existing products obsolete and unmarketable and may exert price pressures on exiting products. If the Company could not then develop products that remain competitive in terms of technology and price and that meet customer needs, this could have a negative impact on the business. Expiry of patents All patents have a limited duration of enforceability. US patents generally have a duration of 20 years from the filing date. Once a patent expires, the invention disclosed in the patent may be freely used by the public without accounting to the patent owner, as long as there are no other unexpired patents that embrace an aspect of the invention. There is no certainty that any improvement, new use or new formulation will be patented to extend the protection of the underlying invention, or provide additional coverage to adequately protect the invention. As a result, the public may have the right to freely use the invention described in and previously protected by an expired patent. Dependence on key personnel The success of the Company’s revenues are dependent on a limited number of employees, and in particular the Chief Executive Officer and other managers with technological and development input. The Company has endeavored to ensure its key employees are incentivized but cannot guarantee the retention of these staff. It also has the benefit of key-man insurance.

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. Auditor’s 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 Spectra Systems Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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.

statementsNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 Note A – Corporate Information Spectra Systems Corporation (the “Company”) develops and sells integrated optical systems that provide customers with increased efficiency, security tracking and product life. The integrated systems combine consumables and engineered optical materials with software and hardware for use in applications. The Company develops and sells its integrated solutions across a spectrum of markets, including currency manufacturing and cleaning, branded products, industrial logistics, and other highly sensitive documents. The Company also provides software tools to the lottery and gaming industries for fraud detection, money laundering, match fixing and statistical analysis. The Company was incorporated on July 3, 1996 in Delaware as Spectra Acquisition Corporation. On August 26, 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of SSC Science Corporation (SSCSC) and changed its name to Spectra Science Corporation. The assets were purchased for US$1,654,000 in cash plus common stock warrants. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. On June 8, 2001, the Company changed its name to Spectra Systems Corporation. On July, 25 2011, the Company raised US$20,241,179, net of offering costs, on the London Stock Exchange in a placing of 18,592,320 common shares at a placing price of £0.753 per new common share (the “Placing Price”), representing 41.09% of the enlarged common share capital of the Company. As a result of the offering, anti-dilution provisions found in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation converted all of the issued and outstanding preferred shares into 17,185,052 common shares, giving 26,659,050 common shares in issue at the time of the placing. On June 6, 2012, the Company acquired, all of the assets of ESI Integrity, Inc., including its proprietary source codes, multi-year contracts, long-standing customer relationships and assumed liabilities. US$1,425,000 was paid in consideration for the assets. On September 14, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets of Lapis Software Associates, including its proprietary source codes, multi-year contracts and long-standing customer relationships, and assumed liabilities. US$726,000 was paid in consideration for the assets. On February 28, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets of Inksure Technologies, Inc., including its long-standing customer relationships and authentication technology. US$1,356,000 was paid in consideration for the assets (see note O). Note B – Significant Accounting Policies 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 judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates that require the management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include the assessment of recoverability of property, plant, and equipment; the valuation of inventory; intangible assets; and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investment purchases with a maturity of 90 days or less at date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash and Investments Restricted cash and investments represents money market investments held as collateral for certain performance agreements entered into by the Company in 2014 and 2013 as required in accordance with terms of a services contract. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the agreement required US$2,500,000 be maintained as collateral. The collateral will be released as the Company meets contractual milestones. Included in the US$2,500,000 as of December 31, 2014 is a certificate of deposit of US$1,055,053 which is considered an investment. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash management policies restrict investments to low-risk highly liquid securities, and the Company restricts its transactions to financial institutions with good credit standing. The Company has cash, including restricted, on deposit with two financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to US$250,000 per institution. As of December 31, 2014, the amount in excess of the FDIC limit was US$5,265,275. Also included in cash at December 31, 2014 is US$6,532,950 of cash in bank accounts in the United Kingdom and Canada. The foreign bank account in Canada with a balance of US$536,850 is subject to exchange rate changes. Neither account is FDIC insured. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the concentration of business with government entities. 20 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014Note B – Significant Accounting Policies continued Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers continued The following table summarizes the number of customers that individually comprise greater than 10% of total revenues and their aggregate percentage of the Company’s total revenues: Year ended December 31, 2014 2013 Number of significant customers 3 3 Percentage of total revenues 78% 82% The following table summarizes the number of customers that individually comprise greater than 10% of total accounts receivable and their aggregate percentage of the Company’s total accounts receivable: Year ended December 31, 2014 2013 Number of significant customers 2 2 Percentage of total receivables 59% 58% Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried in the financial statements at amounts that approximate their fair market values at December 31, 2014 and 2013. Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has a certificate of deposit of US$1,055,053 and US$1,036,867, respectively, which is included in restricted cash and investments of US$2,500,000. The Company considers this certificate of deposit as a Level 2 investment. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency, the Canadian dollar. The functional currency is translated into US Dollars for balance sheet accounts using currency exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average exchange rate in effect during the applicable period. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Accounts Receivable At December 31, 2014, the Company had a US$20,000 allowance for doubtful accounts. There is no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2013. Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision to write down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value if less than cost. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are recorded at the purchase price. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets ranging from 7 to 15 years. The Company evaluates the possible impairment of long-term assets annually and/or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. 21 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014Financial statementsNote B – Significant Accounting Policies continued Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated on the basis of purchase price. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimates useful lives: Laboratory equipment three–seven years Computer and office equipment three–five years Furniture and fixtures seven years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life Software three–five years Manufacturing equipment five–seven years Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated from accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in net income. Computer Software The Company capitalizes certain costs in connection with developing new internal software once certain criteria are met. Overhead, general, administrative and training costs are expensed as incurred. Investment in Affiliates The Company accounts for investments in affiliates under the cost method of accounting if the Company owns less than 20% of the affiliate’s outstanding capital. As of December 31, 2014, the Company held a 19% ownership in an affiliate (SpectraMed) and a 10% ownership in an affiliate (Solaris). These affiliates have had significant losses in prior years and the Company had previously reduced its investments in these affiliates to US$nil. Accounting for Stock-based Compensation In accounting for the Employee Stock Option Plan, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate compensation costs associated with options granted to employees. Total compensation costs are recorded over the option vesting period, generally three years. The Company recorded compensation costs of US$57,951 and US$116,239 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, under the Plan. Revenue Recognition Product revenue includes sales of pigments and security taggants, delivery of prototypes, and contracts with multiple elements including nonrecurring engineering and follow-on manufacturing. Service revenue includes research and development services provided for a fixed price or provided for a specific period. Revenues related to sales of pigments and security taggants and research and development services provided for a specific period are generally recognized when products are shipped or services are provided, the risk of loss has passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from multiple element arrangements is deferred until all elements of the contract are delivered unless all of the following criteria have been met: (1) the product or service has been delivered; (2) the fee for the delivered element is not subject to forfeiture, refund or concession based on performance or delivery of the undelivered element; and (3) the fair value of the delivered element is determined based upon the price charges by the Company or the price charged by competitors when similar services or products are sold separately, in which case the revenues for each element will be recognized independently in accordance with the Company’s policy. The Company enters into arrangements that can include various combinations of software, services and hardware. Where elements are delivered over different periods of time, and when allowed under US GAAP, revenue is allocated to the respective elements based on their relative selling prices at the inception of the arrangement and revenue is recognized as each element is delivered. Revenue from fixed-price development contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of effort incurred to date compared to estimated total effort for each contract. That method is used because management considers total effort to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating effort, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term. Royalties are recognized when they are earned based on sales or use of technologies by third parties, except where future income is not anticipated to cover non-refundable advances received when the excess royalty is taken to income. 22 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION continuedfor the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 Note B – Significant Accounting Policies continued Research and Development Internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Certain third party research and development costs are capitalized in connection with contracted work. These costs are expensed as certain milestones are achieved. Overhead, general administrative and training costs are expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2012, the Company had an outstanding contract with a third party to adapt an existing capability to certain specific requirements. Such costs totaling US$343,820 have been capitalized as deferred contract costs and are being expensed as certain milestones are met. The milestones were met in 2013 and these costs were expensed. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. No advertising expense was incurred in 2014 or 2013. Income Tax Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income taxes. The benefits from net operating losses carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. In addition, a valuation allowance can be provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has a deferred tax asset of US$989,000 and US$1,246,000, respectively, at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The change of US$257,000 represents the provision for income tax expense. For 2014, there is no federal or state income tax liability on those respective income tax returns. Shipping and Handling The Company reports the cost of shipping and handling as an operating expense. Shipping and handling expense was US$231,356 and US$105,184 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to current period presentation. Subsequent Events In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through May 11, 2015, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Note C – Related Party Transactions 100% of the sales of the Company’s phosphor products, which amounted to approximately US$1,650,000 and US$463,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are to a company owned by a shareholder.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards expiring between 2018 and 2034 for US federal income tax purposes of approximately US$25,450,000 and US$1,756,000 expiring between 2017 and 2018 for state income tax purposes. A valuation allowance has been established for US$8,726,000 and US$9,263,000 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for the deferred tax benefit related to those loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2014, the Company also had approximately US$731,000 and US$308,000 of tax credit carryforwards that are available to offset federal and state liabilities, respectively. The credits will begin to expire between 2015 and 2028 for federal and between 2018 and 2020 for state. The utilization of the tax carryforwards described above are dependent upon future profitability prior to any expiration dates. Additionally, alternative minimum taxes, if any, and substantial changes in ownership and tax laws and regulations may substantially limit their realization. Note J – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes The Company accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a “cumulative probability assessment” that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed. Note K – Commitments Lease Commitments The Company holds four real estate leases. The Company’s lease agreement for corporate office space expired September 30, 2012 and is now in a month-to-month arrangement. The Company signed a five-year lease agreement for a new space in East Providence beginning in November 2013 and expiring in October 2017. To support our ICS business, the Company signed a two-year lease beginning in February 2013 through January 2015. In 2014, the Company renewed the lease for another two years from February 2015 through January 2017. The Company’s lease for laboratory space in East Providence was extended through May 31, 2017. Rent expense was US$434,592 and US$423,376 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Future minimum lease payments are as follows: Year ending December 31, 2015 2016 2017 26 $ 337,615 337,615 198,559 $ 873,789 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION continuedfor the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 Note K – Commitments continued License and Supply Agreements In 1996, and subsequently amended in 1999 and 2002, the Company entered into a license agreement under which the Company obtained a nonexclusive right to use certain technology through the term of the licensor’s patents on such technology.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded US$461,095 and US$335,220, respectively in royalty expense. In 2002, the Company entered into a supply agreement whereby the Company agreed to purchase a certain quantity of laser materials at the established price. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to purchase all materials from one vendor. The Company met its obligations under that agreement.

Stock Option Plan In December 1996, the Company’s Board of Directors, who control a majority of the shares of the Company, approved the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”). The 1997 Plan provided that key employees, non-employee Directors, and certain consultants and advisors may be granted either nonqualified or incentive stock options for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at the fair market value on the date of the grant. Stock options generally vest over three years. The options would be exercisable over a period up to ten years from the date of grant. 27 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014Financial statements Note L – Stockholders’ Equity continued Stock Option Plan continued In February 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Plan (the “2002 Plan”) which provided for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, stock awards and stock purchase rights for the purchase of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers, employees, consultants and Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors is responsible for the administration of the 2002 Plan. The Board determines the term of each option, the option exercise price, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable. Incentive stock options may be granted to an officer or employee at an exercise price per share of not less than the fair value per common share on the date of the grant (not less than 110% of fair value in the case of holders of more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock) and with a term not to exceed ten years from the date of the grant (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock). Nonqualified stock options may be granted to consultants or Directors at an exercise price per share of not less than 85% of the fair value of the common stock. Upon the effective date of the 2002 Plan, the 1997 Plan was terminated. The termination did not affect the previously issued options. In 2007, the number of shares available for grant under the 2002 Plan increased from 1,500,000 to 3,500,000. In May 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Plan (the”2007 Plan”) which provided for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, stock awards and stock purchase rights for the purchase of up to 14,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers, employees, consultants and Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors is responsible for administration of the 2007 Plan. The Board determines the term of each option, the option exercise price, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable. The 2007 Plan and the 2002 Plan existed at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, 32,700 options were issued under the 1997 Plan, 2,202,864 options were issued under the 2002 Plan and 3,561,476 options were issued under the 2007 Plan. 344,451 options were issued without a plan. 7,958,509 options were available for grant under the 2007 Plan. Information related to stock options granted by the Company is summarized as follows (including certain options granted outside of the Plan): Outstanding at beginning of year Granted Exercised Forfeited/canceled Outstanding at end of year December 31, 2014 December 31, 2013 Number of shares under option Weighted average exercise price Number of shares under option Weighted average exercise price 6,533,103 $ 45,000 $ — (436,612) $ 6,141,491 $ 0.74 0.36 — 0.58 0.74 6,586,803 $ 81,000 $ — (134,700) $ 6,533,103 $ 0.76 0.30 — 1.54 0.74 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2014: Exercise price range US$0.30–US$0.84 US$0.85–US$1.23 Options outstanding Options exercisable Number of outstanding shares 3,574,425 2,567,066 6,141,491 Weighted average contractual life (years) Weighted average exercise price 4.83 2.28 $ $ 0.56 1.00 Number of shares 3,378,064 2,567,066 $ $ 5,945,130 Weighted average exercise price 0.57 1.00 28 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION continuedfor the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 Note L – Stockholders’ Equity continued Stock Option Plan continued The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of our stock options. The valuations determined using this model are affected by assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables including stock price, volatility, expected life of options, risk free interest rates, and expected dividends, if any. The assumptions used to value stock option grants for the year ended December 31, 2014 are as follows: Risk free rate 0.09% – 0.10% Expected life five years Assumed volatility 52.80% – 53.63% Expected dividends None Expected forfeitures 75% Unrecognized Compensation Costs As of December 31, 2014, there was approximately US$26,000 of unrecognized compensation costs, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock-based payments granted to our employees, Directors and consultants. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures and recognized over the remaining vesting periods of the stock grants. Note M – Employee Retirement Plan During 1999, the Company adopted a defined contribution Plan, established under the guidelines of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which covers all employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan at the beginning of the first month following the date of hire. Employees may contribute up to the maximum allowed by the (IRC) of eligible pay on a pretax basis. The Company made a matching contribution of 50% of employee contributions up to 4% of eligible salary. Company matching contributions vest at 25% after one year of service, 50% at the end of two years of service and 100% at the end of three years of service. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s matching contribution was US$53,792 and US$38,416, respectively. Note N – Contingent Liability In December 2011, the Company was notified by a corporate shareholder regarding a license agreement between the Company and the shareholder dated March 8, 1999. The shareholder had stated that the Company owed the shareholder approximately US$2,100,000 in total for the years 2004 through 2010 based on their interpretation of the license agreement. The Company disagreed with the shareholder’s interpretation of the license agreement. In 2014, the Company and the shareholder reached a settlement that terminated the agreement and liabilities that would otherwise have continued through the remainder of the agreement. To settle the dispute for all past amounts due and all future amounts that may be due, the Company agreed to pay US$2,000,000 plus the relief of a receivable owed to the Company from the shareholder in the amount of approximately US$129,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a contingent liability expense of US$1,789,040 in 2013 after offsetting accruals.

Since the year ended December 31, 2013 reflected a loss, including the potential conversion of warrants and options in the diluted EPS calculation would decrease the loss per share. Accordingly, they are considered anti-dilutive and are not included in the calculation of loss per share. For 2014, the exercise price of all options exceeded the average market price of the shares in issue and therefore are not considered in the calculations. 31 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014SHAREHOLDER AND CORPORATE INFORMATION English Law Legal Counsel Covington & Burling LLP 265 Strand London WC2R 1BH United Kingdom +44 (0) 207 067 2000 US Based Legal Counsel Adler, Pollock & Sheehan, PC One Citizens Plaza, 8th Floor Providence, RI 02903 United States of America +1 401 274 7200 Registrar Computershare Investor Services PLC 2nd Floor Vintners’ Place 68 Upper Thames Street London EC4V 3BJ +44 (0) 870 703 0300 Registered office Spectra Systems Corporation 321 South Main Street, Suite 102 Providence, RI 02903 United States of America +1 401 274 4700 Nominated Advisor WH Ireland Limited 24 Martin Lane London EC4R 0DR United Kingdom +44 (0) 207 220 1666 Broker WH Ireland Limited 24 Martin Lane London EC4R 0DR United Kingdom +44 (0) 207 220 1666 Auditors and Reporting Accountants Miller Wachman LLP 100 Cambridge Street, 13th Floor Boston, MA 02114 United States of America +1 617 338 6800 RSM Tenon Audit Limited 66 Chiltern Street London W1U 4JT United Kingdom +44 (0) 207 535 1400 32 Spectra Systems Corporation Annual report and accounts 2014 Spectra Systems Corporation 321 South Main Street Providence, RI 02903 USA tel: 401.274.4700 fax: 401.274.3127 email: info@spsy.com
