Note A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Revenue Recognition:

Revenues from fixed-price and modified fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated total labor hours for each contract. This method is used because management considers labor hours expended to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned measured by the cost-to-cost method.

Contract costs include all direct labor, direct reimbursable consultants and direct reimbursable expenses. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in estimated profitability including contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and revenues and are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded during the period in which such losses become evident. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably determined. Award fees are recorded as revenues when the amounts are both probable and reasonably estimatable.

Unbilled revenues on contracts in progress in the accompanying balance sheet represents unbilled amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts in progress. These amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. The majority of contracts contain terms that permit these unbilled amounts to be invoiced in the month after the related contract direct costs are incurred.

The asset, “Cost and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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, which result from using such estimates. The use of estimates is an integral part of determining labor hours to complete under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for contracts. Results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the period in which the changes become evident.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009

Note A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Cash and cash equivalents:

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows the company considers cash in banks, cash on hand and securities that are classified as available for sale securities under the Investments-Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, and recorded at fair market value as cash.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, unbilled revenues, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature or relative liquidity of the instruments.

Receivables and Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and thus bad debt expense is based upon management’s review and evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable.

Prepaid Insurance

Prepaid Insurance is being amortized over the life of the respective policies.

Property and equipment:

Property and equipment consists of furniture, office equipment, vehicles and leasehold improvements and are stated at cost. The estimated useful lives typically are 3 to 10 years on furniture, office equipment and vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Assets held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Assets under capital lease represent vehicles leased by the Company. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on disposals are credited or charged to other income and expenses.

Depreciation:

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $947,515.

Treasury stock:

Treasury stock acquisition is accounted for using the cost method.

Advertising:

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $29,766 during the year ended December 31, 2009.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009

Note A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Income taxes:

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes that are related primarily to differences in the revenue recognition methods employed for tax reporting purposes and book purposes for income tax purposes. The Company recognizes revenue under the cash method as a personal service corporation and uses allowable income tax accelerated depreciation method. The deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

The calculation of these deferred tax assets and liabilities require interpretation of tax laws and regulation and from time to time results in the use of judgments and estimates that could cause the tax liability to differ from the amounts recorded. The Company does not consider the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates in the current period.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to United States federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004.

Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principals for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The implementation of the Income Taxes Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note B — CASH CONCENTRATIONS:

The Company maintains its cash deposits with the National Bank of South Carolina. As of December 31, 2009, deposits in the bank exceeded FDIC general deposit insurance limits by approximately $5,816,474, but are fully guaranteed by the FDIC through June 30, 2010 under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Coverage under this program is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash.

Note C — INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE:

The Company’s investment in affiliate of $48,145 consists of an initial capital investment in, and the undistributed net earnings from, its one third interest in Louisiana TIMED Managers (LTM), a joint venture formed to manage a Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) transportation construction contract. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company advanced $7,680,725 to LTM in labor and overhead related to the contract. As of December 31, 2009, $455,875 remains uncollected. The Company has recognized $1,286,363 as income from unconsolidated affiliate joint venture partnership during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Conversely, the members are required to reimburse LTM for general and administrative expenses of the joint venture and for the purchase of fixed assets. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have a payable to LTM.

To date, the Company has received advance distributions totaling $3,770,000 from LTM. These distributions represent advances from billings in excess of costs and estimated profits of the joint venture. These advances bear no interest and have no specific repayment terms.

The Company includes equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures as a component of other income as this income is derived from entities taxes as partnerships.

Summary financial information for LTM as of, and for the period ending, December 31, 2009, is presented in the following table. LTM recognizes revenues from construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost for each contract.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009

Note E — DEFERRED INCOME TAXES (Continued):

The Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification is based on the assumption that tax laws and financial accounting standards differ in their recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Therefore, differences may arise between the amount of taxable income and accrual basis financial income for a given year. Additionally, the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax purposes results in temporary differences in the bases of assets or liabilities as reported in the financial statements.

Note F — RETIREMENT PLANS (PSP):

The Company has established a Profit Sharing Plan with a 401(k) provision for its employees. The employees elect on an individual basis to participate in the plan.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009

Note K — TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTION

During 2009 the Company reacquired $139,160 of common stock from two principals of the Company.

Note L — SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The Company adopted the Equity Topic and the Compensation-Retirement Benefits Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification effective January 1, 2006. The cost of employee services acquired through these Share-Based Compensation transactions have been recognized in the financial statements. The fair value exercise price is determined annually based upon a weighted average formula of the prior three audited financial statements. The shares vest over a three year period from date of issue. As of December 31, 2009 shares issued were not fully vested. The amount expensed in 2009 as compensation was $530,902 with an accrued liability of $627,782.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a fixed price stock option plan under which a single principal may exercise stock options granted for up to 22,274 shares as follows: 10,331 shares in 2010, 3,714 shares in 2011, 4,114 shares in 2012 and 4,115 shares in 2013. The exercise price was fixed in 2004. The plan requires the Company to issue additional shares of stock equal to one-fourth of the shares exercised on the issuing four anniversary dates of the stock exercised. The only contingency for issuance of these additional shares is the continued employment of the principal. As of December 31, 2009 the Company has a contingent liability to issue 2,322 shares as follows: 774 shares in 2010, 774 shares in 2011, 516 shares in 2012 and 258 shares in 2013.

If a change of control of the Company were to occur the exercise rights for future periods would lapse and in exchange the Company would issue 740 shares for each year or partial year that the principal was employed from January 2005 for a maximum of 10 years (7,740 shares). Additionally, with a change of control, the Company is required to issue an equal number of shares that would have been issued had the change of control not occurred and the principal had been employed for a period of four years beyond the fourth anniversary of the last rights exercised by the principal.

Note M — DISTINGUISHING LIABILITIES FROM EQUITY

The Company has adopted the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as of January 1, 2006. The Company has a potential liability to repurchase the outstanding shares of those shareholders who are signors of the 2004 shareholder agreement. This agreement covers less than 12% of the outstanding shares of the Company stock issued as of December 31, 2009. This agreement requires the Company to repurchase a covered shareholder’s shares at the most recent stock valuation in the event of a shareholder’s death or disability. The Company believes this potential obligation to be immaterial and has not recorded a liability.

Note R — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance codifying Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature. The Company adopted the new Codification when referring to GAAP on December 31, 2009. The adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that incorporates guidance into accounting literature that was previously addressed only in auditing standards and is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company adopted this authoritative guidance on December 31, 2009. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note S — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has issued as of March 25, 2010 an additional 20,138 shares of stock. These shares are subject to the share-holder agreement with 12,973 of the shares are being issued as share based compensation of which 10,331 shares were issued under the fixed price stock option plan.

As required by the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, management has considered subsequent events through March 25, 2010, the date of issuance, in preparing the financial statements and notes hereto.
