Note F — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCES:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has, from time to time, become a party to legal claims and disputes. At March 31, 2010, management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation, or unasserted claims that would result in losses that would be material to the financial statements. The Company’s management in consultation with its legal counsel has recorded a $50,000 reserve in the financial statements based upon its estimate of known claims.
Note G — 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 March 31, 2010 shares issued were not fully vested. The amount expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compensation was $17,855 and there was no compensation expense during the comparable period in 2009. There was an accrued liability of $609,927 related to share-based compensation arrangements as of March 31, 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010 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.

COMBINED CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
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 H — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending the timing and consideration of analyses performed to determine if the Company’s variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, as well as requiring additional disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2010. The adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note I — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 3, 2010, the Michael Baker Corporation (“Baker”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of the LPA Group Incorporated and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates (“LPA”) for $59.4 million. This transaction was funded with $51.4 million of cash and approximately $8.0 million of Baker’s stock.
As required by the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, management has considered subsequent events through July 15, 2010, the date of issuance, in preparing the financial statements and notes hereto.
