REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
MES Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MES Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 MES Group, Inc. ans Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of certain accounting policies followed in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Company Operations
MES Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”) provides independent medical reports, x-ray exams, lab work, peer reviews, billing, and consulting for its clients. The medical reports are for individuals seeking disability benefits or indemnity due to injury or disease. The medical reports, x-ray exams, lab work and the Company’s consultation are utilized by clients in determining the examinee’s eligibility for, or entitlement to, benefits or indemnity.
The Company’s clients include many of the largest corporations and insurance companies in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of MES Group, Inc., a Michigan Corporation, and the following wholly-owned subsidiaries:
|
Medical Evaluation Specialists, Inc. – a Michigan corporation
|
|
Medical Evaluation Specialists, California – a California corporation
|
|
Medical Evaluation Specialists, Massachusetts – a Massachusetts corporation
|
|
Medical Evaluation Specialists, Texas – a Texas corporation
|
|
Medical Evaluation Specialists, Illinois – an Illinois corporation
|
|
Medical Evaluation Specialists, Pennsylvania – a Pennsylvania corporation
|
|
Medical Evaluation Specialists, P.C. – a New York corporation
|
|
MEDS, Inc. – a Michigan corporation
|
|
Lone Star Consulting Service, Inc. – a Texas corporation
DDA Management Services, LLC – a Texas limited liability company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lone Star Consulting Service, Inc.
|
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company from time to time during the years covered by these consolidated financial statements may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management has deemed this as a normal business risk.
A high concentration of the Company’s accounts receivable is from insurance companies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the plan has the ability to access. | |
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include | |
● | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
● | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | |
● | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; | |
● | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means | |
If the asset or liability has a specific (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:
Marketable securities: Valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Company at year end.
Interest Rate Swaps: Valued at a continuously compounded zero coupon discounted cash flow valuation methodology based upon yield curve definition, money market rates, futures prices, and long term yields.
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although management believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair values of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurements at the reporting date.
Fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company does not accrue interest on trade receivables. Each customer’s receivables are analyzed separately for determination of past due status based upon that customer’s payment history. The Company will then contact the customer for all past due amounts. If no payment is received or no arrangement for payment has been made, the Company will then write off the uncollectible portion of the account balance. If any payment is received after an amount has been written off, the Company will then recognize a bad debt recovery. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues, and any related expenses, are recorded at the time medical examinations are provided by contracted physicians, and at the time x-ray, laboratory and consultation services are provided by the Company. Peer review services revenue is recorded upon the completion of the evidence-based review provided to a medical practice on improvements to be made to reduce malpractice claims. Revenue generated from billing services is recorded as gross revenue at the time the examination is provided by outside physicians. The Company grants credit without collateral to insurance companies.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of revenues are comprised of fees paid to members of the Company’s medical panel; other direct costs including transcription, film and medical record obtainment and transportation; and other indirect costs including labor and overhead related to the generation of revenues.
Property and Equipment
Management capitalizes expenditures for property and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to costs and expenses. Property and equipment are carried at cost. Adjustments of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation accounts are made for property and equipment retirement and disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the consolidated statements of income.
Depreciation
Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method for book purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes over the estimated useful lives of the assets at acquisition. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 amount to $1,382,985, $1,220,986, and $982,875, respectively.

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS SUBJECT TO AMORTIZATION (Continued)
In accordance with Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including the covenant not to compete and the customer list annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, adjustment for impairment was not required.

NOTE 8 – NOTE PAYABLE – BANK – LINE-OF-CREDIT
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had drawn $11,281,659 and $12,510,882, respectively under a due on demand credit agreement with a bank. The Company may borrow up to $18,000,000 on a revolving basis. The Company has the option of borrowing at the greater of prime less 0.50% (prime was 3.25% at December 31, 2010) or the average overnight Federal Funds rate plus 1% or borrowing at the Euro-dollar based rate at LIBOR plus 1.00% (LIBOR was 1.41% at December 31, 2010).
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company borrowed $10,000,000 at the Euro-dollar based rate at LIBOR plus 1.00% and borrowed the remaining at the prime rate. The indebtedness is secured by the general assets of the Company and guaranteed by a shareholder of the Company and all the Corporations listed in Note 1. The debt is subject to certain restrictive financial covenants related to tangible net worth and debt service coverage.
NOTE 9 – INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT
The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a financial institution maturing on March 11, 2011. The agreement effectively modifies a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations to fixed rate debt obligations, thus mitigating exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge for financial reporting purposes, and accordingly, has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement are recognized in other comprehensive income. The unrealized gain (loss) on the interest rate swap agreement for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $247,578, $113,296, and ($435,766), respectively. Realized gains and losses are recognized as a component of interest expense. There were no gains or losses recognized due to hedge ineffectiveness.
Management believes the carrying value of the amount reflected in the consolidated balance sheet pursuant to the financing arrangement discussed above approximates the fair value.

NOTE 13 – LITIGATION
Various claims and lawsuits, incidental to the ordinary course of business, are pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 14 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST
On January 1, 1989 the Company formed the MES Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Trust (ESOT), a leveraged employee stock ownership plan, to provide an opportunity for the Company to distribute stock to substantially all its employees. On April 1st, 2003, the Company repurchased from the ESOT the unallocated shares outstanding.
Total shares allocated to the ESOT were 94,441 and 95,488 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. All shares, including unallocated, are treated as outstanding for earnings per share purposes.
The ESOT has a put option that requires the Company to repurchase its common stock from participants in the ESOT who are eligible to receive benefits under the terms of the plan and elect to receive cash in exchange for their common stock. The potential commitment for the put option at December 31, 2010 is based on the fair market value of the shares determined by an independent appraiser annually. This commitment will fluctuate based on the fair value of the shares.
NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
Income taxes
Income tax expense includes federal and state taxes currently payable and deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Income taxes are provided at the applicable rates on the basis of items included in the determination of income for income tax purposes. The Company’s effective tax rate may be different than what would be expected if the Federal and State statutory rates were applied to income from continuing operations primarily because of amounts expensed for financial reporting that are not deductible for tax purposes and possibly items taxable for tax purposes or deductible for tax purposes which are not includable for financial reporting. The significant permanent difference is meals and entertainment.

Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. There was no liability recorded related to unrecognized tax benefits as of the adoption date. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no uncertain tax positions that require accrual.
None of the Company’s federal or state income tax returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state authorities. However calendar years 2007 and later remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.
Michigan adopted the Michigan Business Tax which is a tax on taxable income and a tax on adjusted gross receipts. It is management’s policy to report both components of the tax as an income tax.
The statute created a “joint and severally liable” unitary tax on entities which are generally commonly controlled and have inter-company “flow of value” transactions. It is the intent of management to record the expense and pay the entire unitary tax of the group of entities in this Company.

Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for timing differences between financial reporting and income tax purposes under the provisions of Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires deferred income taxes be computed on the liability method and deferred tax assets are recognized only when realization is more likely than not. The principal timing differences arise from the use of an accelerated depreciation method for tax purposes and a straight-line method for book purposes, the amortization of intangibles for tax purposes, the allowance for doubtful accounts, various accruals and a net operating loss carryforward.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, deferred income taxes consist of the following:
