NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES:
Peer Review Mediation And Arbitration, Inc. ("PRMA", the "Company"),
was incorporated in the State of Florida on April 16, 2001. The Company
provides peer review services and expertise to law firms, medical
practitioners, insurance companies, hospitals and other organizations
in regard to personal injury, professional liability and quality
review.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of
the information and disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. All
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods
have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed
herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Peer Review Mediation and Arbitration, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and 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. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Income tax
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC
740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred
tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and
operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are
the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (continued)
and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding.
Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion
of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the
computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the
earnings or decrease loss per share.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis after services have been
performed under contract terms, the service price to the client is
fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The
Company's revenues to date have been earned primarily from consulting
fees for arranging medical expert insurance case review.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under the
straight line method over each item's estimated useful life.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, as reported
in the accompanying balance sheet, approximates fair value.
Marketable Securities
The Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-
sale, are presented in the balance sheets at fair market value, and
consist entirely of equity securities. Gains and losses are determined
using the specific identification method.
The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) under ASC 220,
which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components. Unrealized gains (losses) from marketable
securities are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in the
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and as
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.

POLICIES (continued)
Stock based compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under
ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services
are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those
issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934. The statements regarding Peer Review Mediation
and Arbitration, Inc. and its subsidiaries contained in this Report
that are not historical in nature, particularly those that utilize
terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "likely," "expects,"
"anticipates," "estimates," "believes" or "plans," or comparable
terminology, are forward-looking statements based on current
expectations and assumptions, and entail various risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on April
16, 2001. We have been conducting business operations ever since,
primarily focused on the creation and continual development of our
proprietary Private Network Application which allows direct access to
our Peer Review Data Archival resource via our PeerReviewboard.com
Internet web site. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Review,
Inc., is engaged in providing medical case reviews to the Texas
Insurance Commission pursuant to a license from the state of Texas.
Our service enables subscribers, attorneys, insurance claims agents,
healthcare providers and consumers the ability to efficiently search
and engage medical experts for a variety of medical consulting
projects. PRMA maintains a network of independent physicians as members
of its Peer Review Board, available to assist in areas such as: expert
medical opinions and testimony, legal case evaluation and strategy,
assessment of damages, case valuation, medical peer review and chart
review, independent medical review, quality and utilization review,
medical case management, and medical second opinion. In addition, we
offer a diverse program of technology and innovation services as member
benefits to our member physicians through Pro-Med Alliance, our wholly-
owned subsidiary.
Results Of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March
31, 2010 and 2009
Sales were $12,906 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to
sales of $12,160 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of
$746, or 6.1%. These revenues were generated by our subsidiary, IRI,
which handles medical denied insurance cases for the Texas Department
of Insurance. The slight increase was due to increased business
activity. The business in Texas is independent medical review, and we
intend to use our network of physicians to provide other types of
services, including case management, expert witness, peer review and
quality review. These additional types of service are expected to
access demand that we currently are not accessing, and allow us to use
our network of physicians to create additional revenue. We also plan
11
to expand geographically, so as not to be limited to the opportunity
in the Texas market. Selling regionally and nationally is expected to
allow us to generate increased revenue. There can be no assurances
that we will be able to expand, or that such expansion will result in
increased revenues.
Cost of sales was $5,102 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as
compared to cost of sales of $4,152 for the comparable period in 2009,
an increase of $950 or 22.9%. Cost of sales increased due to an
increase in revenues.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we incurred operating expenses of
$377,408, which included selling, general and administrative expenses
of $373,131, compared to operating expense of $304,987 during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, which included selling, general and
administrative expenses of $302,376 for the same period last year, or a
23.4% increase in selling, general and administrative expense,
principally because of increased business activity. Selling, general
and administrative expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2010,
consisted of $42,298 in physician recruitment, $28,199 in
administrative expense, $23,499 in operational expense, $14,618 in IT
maintenance, $59,574 in rent, $72,000 in officers and directors
compensation, $19,850 in consulting fees, $58,855 in interest expense,
$4,250 in telephone expense, $24,075 in legal and & professional fees,
$7,815 in utilities and maintenance, $5,686 in office supplies, $3,285
in promotion and advertising, and $4,403 in miscellaneous fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $4,277 during the
quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared with that of $2,611 for the same
period in 2009.
As a result, we incurred a loss of $428,465 during quarter ended March
31, 2010, or ($0.05) per share, compared with a loss of $320,071 during
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, or ($0.04) per share.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
At March 31, 2010, we had $67,691 in cash and marketable securities.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2010, operations were funded
through the exercise of our outstanding Common Stock Purchase Options.
On April 2, 2009 our registration statement was deemed effective by the
SEC wherein we registered 323,940 shares of our Common Stock that
underlie previously issued purchase options. As of the date of this
report we have received an aggregate of $2,392,373 from the exercise of
these Purchase Option and issued 136,707 shares of our Common Stock as
a result. It is management's intent to use the funds generated by the
exercising of these options to execute the business plan. described in
the "Business" section of our registration statement and to support
continuing operations.
The net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended March
31, 2010 was $226,797. The net cash provided from financing activities
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $268,152. We had $67,691 in
cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010, compared to $30,542 in
12
cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2009. We had $8,260 in
account receivables as of March 31, 2010, as compared to $4,550 at
March 31, 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and
CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the applicable Securities
and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
We believe that our consolidated financial statements presented in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects,
our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all
periods presented herein.
Inherent Limitations - Our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure
controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control
13
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and
there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company
have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can
occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our
current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that
neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous
reporting of financial data.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - There were no
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
during the first quarter of 2010, which were identified in conjunction
with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15
and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
