INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

Managing Member

Cambridge BioMarketing Group, LLC
Cambridge, Massachusetts

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Cambridge BioMarketing Group, LLC, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of income, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; 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.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. 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 auditors’ 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 Company’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 Company’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 Cambridge BioMarketing Group, LLC 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization - Cambridge BioMarketing Group, LLC (“the Company”) is a full-service health care marketing communications agency located in Cambridge, Massachusetts that provides traditional and digital marketing communications services to the healthcare industry throughout the United States.

 

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates market.

 

Restricted Cash - The Company holds a money market account with a bank to be used as collateral against a standby letter of credit to a bank. The Company is contingently liable for a standby letter of credit to a bank to secure a deposit in connection with the lease of office space. Total restricted cash deposits at December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $50,000. Since this cash deposit relates to a long-term lease obligation, it has been classified as a non-current asset on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Trade Accounts Receivable - Trade accounts receivable is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a reduction to trade accounts receivable.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue derived from fees or rate-per-hour, or equivalent basis when services are performed in accordance with terms of each client arrangement, upon completion of the earnings process and when collection is reasonably assured. Under certain circumstances, the Company earns a portion of their revenue as commissions based upon performance in accordance with client arrangements. The Company records certain reimbursable transactions, such as the placement of media advertisements where the Company acts as an agent, as net revenues. Losses are recognized when identified.

 

Unbilled Services - Unbilled amounts represent costs incurred and estimated fees earned on contracts for which billings have not been presented to customers.

 

Customer Advances - Customer advances consists primarily of payments received from customers where professional services have not been completed.

 

Property and Equipment - Depreciation is computed using primarily the straight-line method to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Rent Expense - Rent expense for the Company’s operating lease, which has five months of reduced rent and generally has escalating rental payments over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Income Taxes - As a limited liability company, the Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership. The Company does not pay federal and state income taxes on its income. Instead, the members are liable for federal and state taxes on the Company’s taxable income.

 

In determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, the Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is generally subject to potential examination by taxing jurisdictions for the prior three years.

 

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $29,000 and $48,000, respectively.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The bank deposit accounts are insured through FDIC up to $250,000. There were no bank deposit accounts exceeding $250,000 at December 31, 2014.

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited to certain customers to whom the Company makes substantial sales. To reduce risk, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company historically has not experienced significant losses related to individual customers in any particular industry or geographic area. Five customers accounted for approximately 42% and 80% of net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accounts receivable due from these customers amounted to approximately $675,000 and $1,300,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Subsequent Events - The date to which events occurring after December 31, 2014 have been evaluated for possible adjustments to the financial statements or disclosures is the date of the Independent Auditors’ Report which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

Note 2 - Note Payable, Bank

 

The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement with a bank. The agreement is personally guaranteed by the members of the Company and requires no other form of collateral. The maximum borrowings available under the agreement are $1,000,000. The agreement provides that any borrowings are due on demand, and bear interest at the greater of (1) a floating rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 0.50% or (2) 4.00% (4.00% at December 31, 2014). The agreement also requires the Company to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants, as defined in the financing agreement. The financial covenants required to be met by the Company are liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. At December 31, 2014, Management is not aware of any violations to its covenants. Borrowings outstanding under the agreement at December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $750,000.
