EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
 
ExamWorks Group, Inc. is a leading provider of independent medical examinations (“IMEs”), peer and bill reviews and related services (“IME services” or the “IME industry”). ExamWorks, Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 27, 2007. In 2008, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired three companies operating in the IME industry. In 2009, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired 11 other IME companies, including a provider of software solutions to the IME industry. In 2010, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired 14 additional IME companies. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired three additional IME companies.  As of June 30, 2011, ExamWorks, Inc. operated out of 42 service centers serving all 50 United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. In June 2010, ExamWorks, Inc. effected a corporate reorganization creating a holding company, ExamWorks Group, Inc., with ExamWorks, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of ExamWorks Group, Inc. (“ExamWorks” or the “Company”).  In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company issued 9.3 million shares of common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”).
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2010 and 2011 included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have not been audited by its independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal year. The Company’s December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the aforementioned Form 10-K. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ExamWorks, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and other entities controlled by ExamWorks. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(2)           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a)           Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on certain assumptions which they believe are reasonable in the circumstances and actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates reflected in these consolidated financial statements include the valuation of equity issued, purchase price allocations, useful lives of intangible assets, potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation of share-based compensation and derivative instruments.
 
(b)           Foreign Currencies
 
Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to other comprehensive income.
 
(c)           Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
(d)           Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Accounts receivable consist of amounts owed to the Company for services provided in the normal course of business and are reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts, which amounted to $815,000 and $1.3 million  as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Generally, no collateral is received from customers and additions to the allowance are based on ongoing credit evaluations of customers with general credit experience being within the range of management’s expectations. Accounts are reviewed regularly for collectability and those deemed uncollectible are written off.
 
(e)           Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues.  At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, there was no individual customer that accounted for greater than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
 
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $7.2 million. These amounts were held for future acquisitions and working capital purposes and were held in non-interest bearing accounts, of which $5.4 million were held in the U.S. The U.S. amounts are insured in full against bank failure through June 30, 2012 under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
 
(f)           Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
 
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
 
(g)           Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Subsections of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) Subtopic 360-10 (“ASC 360”), Property, Plant, and Equipment — Overall, long-lived assets, such as equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, no impairment was noted.
 
(h)           Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill in October 2010, and it was determined that the carrying amount of goodwill was not impaired and there have been no subsequent developments that would indicate impairment exists as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011. The goodwill impairment review will continue to be performed annually or more frequently, if facts and circumstances warrant a review.
 
ASC 350 also requires that intangible assets with definite lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Currently, customer relationships, tradenames, covenants not to compete and technology are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.
 
(i)           Deferred Financing Costs
 
Deferred financing costs totaling $1.7 million were incurred in December 2009 in connection with a previous credit facility and were to be amortized to interest expense over the three-year term of the facility using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In the first ten months of 2010, an additional $2.1 million of deferred financing costs were incurred as the Company expanded its borrowing availability under that facility.  The previous credit facility was repaid in November 2010 with proceeds generated from the IPO.  In connection with this early retirement of debt, the Company recognized debt extinguishment costs of approximately $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 for the unamortized portion of the loan costs.  The debt extinguishment costs were recorded as other interest expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”).  In November 2010, the Company entered in to a new senior secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America N.A. ("Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility") (see note 10) and has incurred deferred financing costs of $6.2 million, $4.4 million of which were incurred in 2010 and $1.8 million of which were incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The deferred financing costs will be amortized to interest expense over the five-year term of the facility, as amended (see note 10), using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, the Company amortized approximately $174,000 and $528,000 to interest expense, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, the Company amortized approximately $320,000 and $918,000 to interest expense, respectively.
 
(j)           Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue related to IMEs, peer reviews, bill reviews and administrative support services is recognized at the time services have been performed and the report is shipped to the end user. The Company believes that recognizing revenue at the time the report is shipped is appropriate because the Company’s revenue policies meet the following four criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 605-10-S25, Revenue Recognition: Overall, (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) shipment has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Revenue related to other IME services, including litigation support services and medical record retrieval services, where no report is generated, is recognized at the time the service is performed. The Company believes that recognizing revenue at the time the service is performed is appropriate because the Company’s revenue policies meet the following four criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 605-10-S25, (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.
 
(k)           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.

(l)           Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall), and recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Prior to the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, the Company recognized the effect of income tax positions only if such positions were probable of being sustained.
 
The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
 
(m)          Loss Per Common Share
 
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss, adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted-average number of actual shares outstanding and, when dilutive, the share equivalents that would arise from the assumed conversion of convertible instruments.  The effect of potentially dilutive stock options and warrants is calculated using the treasury stock method.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the potentially dilutive securities include options and warrants exercisable into 3.9 million shares of common stock and 228,000 shares of common stock issuable to settle the equity component of an earnout obligation.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the potentially dilutive securities include options and warrants exercisable into 7.3 million shares of common stock, 58,000 shares of common stock issuable to settle the equity component of an earnout obligation, and 135,000 shares of common stock issuable, at the holder’s option, to settle a subordinated unsecured note.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, all of the potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of shares applicable to loss per share, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
 
(n)           Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company has an Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that provides for granting of options. The Company accounts for share-based awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on the grant date (or measurement date if different) and recognition of compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.
 
The fair value of stock option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics not present in these employee stock options. Additionally, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its share-based awards. The Company’s expected volatility assumptions are based on the Company’s peer group median implied volatility. Expected life assumptions are based upon the “simplified” method as described in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.

The assumptions utilized for stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:
 
   
Six months ended
 
   
June 30, 2011
 
Volatility
    35.80 %
Expected life (years)

Risk-free interest rate
    2.23 — 2.54 %
Dividend yield
    0.00  
Fair value
  $ 8.78 — 9.28  
 
In the first two quarters of 2011, the Company issued approximately 2.3 million stock option awards to certain employees. The weighted average fair value of each stock option was $8.95 per option and the aggregate fair value was $20.9 million. All of these awards vest over a three-year period. All of these options could vest earlier in the event of a change in control or merger or other acquisition. Share-based compensation expense was $184,000 and $298,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, all of which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Share-based compensation expense was $2.0 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, of which $650,000 was included in costs of revenues in both periods, and $1.4 million and $2.4 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months periods, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, the unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option grants was $24.5 million with a remaining weighted average life of 2.0 years.

There were no stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $5.1 million.  As of June 30, 2011, there were 1.8 million stock options exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $4.50.
 
 (o)          Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified as FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 is effective for interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted the applicable provisions of ASC 820 effective January 1, 2008.
 
FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), delayed the effective date of the application of ASC 820 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. Nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the Company has not applied the provisions of ASC 820 primarily include those measured at fair value in goodwill and long-lived asset impairment testing, those initially measured at fair value in a business combination, and nonfinancial liabilities for exit or disposal activities.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
 
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterpart credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the company’s own assumptions.
 
The Company’s financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are categorized using the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, and are as follows (in thousands):
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
   
Total
 
As of December 31, 2010
                       
Financial instruments:
                       
Interest rate swap
  $     $ 654     $     $ 654  
Contingent consideration
                6,202       6,202  
                                 
As of June 30, 2011
                               
Financial instruments:
                               
Interest rate swap
          457             457  
Contingent consideration
                4,599       4,599  
 
The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using observable market inputs, such as current interest rates, and considers nonperformance risk of the Company and that of its counterparties.
 
The contingent consideration relates to earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with certain acquisitions completed in 2009 and 2010 (see note 3). Of the total decrease in fair value of the contingent consideration of $1.6 million from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011, $293,000 was settled as cash consideration to satisfy the first installment related to a 2009 acquisition, approximately $500,000 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, and approximately $800,000 was recorded in interest and other expenses, net in the consolidated statement of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued ASC 825, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This provision of ASC 825 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  As the Company did not elect the fair value option, the adoption of this provision of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011.
 
(p)          Comprehensive Loss
 
Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net loss. The Company’s other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those business units not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

(q)          Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”) addressing revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, eliminates the residual method of allocation, requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, and significantly expands disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 effective January 1, 2011 and this adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.  The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under FASB ASC Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), Business Combinations, to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2011.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-29 effective January 1, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The Company included the expanded disclosure requirements required under ASU 2010-29 for all acquisitions completed in 2011 (see note 3).
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on fair value measurement. These amendments have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The common requirements are expected to result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company plans to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2012. Adoption of these provisions is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
(3)           Acquisitions
 
ExamWorks operates in a highly fragmented industry and has completed numerous acquisitions since July 14, 2008. A key component of ExamWorks’ acquisition strategy is growth through acquisitions that expand its geographic coverage, provide new or complementary lines of business, expand its portfolio of services and that increase its market share.
 
The Company has accounted for all business combinations using the purchase method to record a new cost basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company recorded, based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, intangible assets representing customer relationships, tradenames, covenants not to compete, and technology and the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the separately recognized intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The goodwill is attributable to synergies achieved through the streamlining of operations combined with improved margins attainable through increased market presence. The results of operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition.
 
 (a)           2010 Acquisitions
 
Metro Medical Acquisition
 
On March 26, 2010, ExamWorks acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Metro Medical Services, LLC (“Metro Medical”) for aggregate consideration of $13.5 million, comprised of $13.0 million cash consideration less cash acquired of $722,000 and 589,930 shares of the Company’s common stock with an estimated fair value of $1.3 million. In conjunction with the Metro Medical acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs of $101,000 which were reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s 2010 consolidated statement of operations. The Metro Medical acquisition enabled the Company to further expand its operations in the northeastern region of the United States.

Direct IME Acquisition
 
On June 30, 2010, ExamWorks acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Direct IME, a partnership (“Direct IME”), for aggregate consideration of $13.6 million, comprised of $11.9 million cash consideration less cash acquired of $50,000, 507,606 shares of the Company’s common stock with an estimated fair value of $1.4 million and $351,000 of contingent consideration. The acquisition agreement contains a clawback provision whereby certain revenue and profitability targets must be met for a period of two years. The Company expects Direct IME to achieve the targeted levels. Additionally, the acquisition agreement contains contingent consideration in the form of an earnout provision based upon the achievement of certain revenue and profitability targets. Any contingent consideration is payable at the end of a two-year period. The fair value of the contingent consideration will be adjusted quarterly based primarily on variations in the expected performance of the acquired businesses with the change being recorded as selling, general and administrative ("SGA") expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded additional contingent consideration of $5,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulting primarily from the change in the expected value of the earnout.  As of June 30, 2011, the range of outcomes and the assumptions used to develop the estimate have not changed. In conjunction with the Direct IME acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs of $194,000 which were reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s 2010 consolidated statement of operations. The Direct IME acquisition enabled the Company to expand operations into the Canadian market.

Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change.  Such changes are not expected to be significant.  The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
 
Other 2010 Acquisitions
 
Additionally, in 2010, the Company completed the following individually insignificant acquisitions, as defined in SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-05, with an aggregate purchase price of $70.3 million, comprised of $62.8 million cash consideration less cash acquired of $1.0 million, 1,685,312 shares of the Company’s common stock with an estimated fair value of $5.9 million, $1.7 million of seller debt in the form of subordinated unsecured notes payable, and $786,000 of contingent consideration. A portion of this debt may be settled, at the election of the seller, with 135,282 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In conjunction with the other 2010 acquisitions, the Company incurred transaction costs of $1.2 million, which were reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s 2010 consolidated statement of operations. These acquisitions expanded the geographic coverage and, to a lesser extent, enhanced the service offering of the Company.

In 2011, the Company recorded an adjustment to working capital resulting in a decrease to total consideration paid of $70,000.  The Company expects to make further adjustments to the purchase price allocation of certain acquisitions, excluding those completed on June 30, 2010 and prior which are considered final as of June 30, 2011, principally resulting from working capital and tax related adjustments, in accordance with the purchase agreements. One of the acquisition agreements contains a clawback provision whereby certain revenue and profitability targets must be met for a period of two years. The Company expects this acquisition to achieve the targeted levels. Additionally, this acquisition agreement contains contingent consideration in the form of an earnout provision based upon the achievement of certain revenue and profitability targets. At the date of acquisition, the Company recorded $536,000 as the estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration related to this acquisition. Any contingent consideration is payable at the end of a two-year period. The fair value of the contingent consideration will be adjusted quarterly based primarily on variations in the expected performance of the acquired businesses with the change being recorded as SGA expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded a reduction in contingent consideration of $580,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulting primarily from the change in the expected value of the earnout. As of June 30, 2011, the range of outcomes and the assumptions used to develop the estimate have not changed. Goodwill of $23.9 million and other intangible assets of $21.7 million are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
 
The Company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change.  Such changes are not expected to be significant.  The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

(a)
The Company entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility agreement effective November 2, 2010 with Bank of America, N.A. The facility initially consisted of a $180.0 million revolving credit facility. The facility is available to finance the Company’s acquisition program and working capital needs. On February 9, 2011, the Company exercised the accordion feature of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, increasing the facility from $180.0 million to $245.0 million.
 
On May 6, 2011, the Company increased and fully exercised the accordion features of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.  The increase and exercise of the accordion feature increased the committed capacity of the credit facility by $55.0 million, from a total of $245.0 million to a total of $300.0 million.
 
On July 7, 2011, the Company entered into a second amendment to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”) which became effective simultaneously with the consummation of the Company’s private offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal senior notes (see note 14).  The Second Amendment amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from November 2013 to July 2016; (ii) permit the issuance and sale of the Notes; (iii) replace the consolidated senior leverage ratio with a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio while permitting the maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio to be 3.00 to 1; (iv) permit the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio to increase from 3.5 to 1 to 4.75 to 1; (v) reduce the borrowing cost; and (vi) allow the Company to complete acquisitions with a purchase price of up to $75.0 million (previously $50.0 million) without prior lender consent. The Second Amendment also reduced the aggregate revolving commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $262.5 million, subject to the Company’s right to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $300.0 million, so long as the Company is not in default and the Company satisfies certain other customary conditions.
 
Borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest, at either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate (equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Bank of America prime rate and (c) LIBOR (using a one month-period) plus 1.0%), plus the applicable margin, as the Company elects.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
In the event of default, the outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at an additional 2%.
 
The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants, including among other things financial covenants requiring the Company to not exceed a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage coverage ratio, a maximum total consolidated leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility also restricts the Company’s ability (subject to certain exceptions) to incur indebtedness, prepay or amend other indebtedness, create liens, make certain fundamental changes including mergers or dissolutions, pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock, make certain investments, sell assets, change its lines of business, enter into transactions with affiliates and other corporate actions.

On September 29, 2010, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary UKIM entered into a Sales Finance Agreement (the “UKIM SFA”) with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), pursuant to which Barclays will provide UKIM a working capital facility of up to £5,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the UKIM SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.5% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on June 30, 2011) and serves to finance UKIM’s unpaid account receivables. The working capital facility operates on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $5.9 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $2.1 million in availability.
 
On May 12, 2011, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Premex entered into a Sales Finance Agreement (the “Premex SFA”) with Barclays, pursuant to which Barclays will provide Premex a working capital facility of up to £26,500,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Premex SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.4% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on June 30, 2011) and serves to finance Premex’s unpaid account receivables. The working capital facility operates on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $37.1 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $5.4 million in availability.
 
(c)
During 2009 and 2010, the Company issued seller debt in the form of subordinated unsecured notes payable with an estimated fair value of approximately $5.5 million relating to certain acquisitions (see note 3). These notes are unsecured and subordinated to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the Notes issued in July 2011. Five notes payable totaling $4.4 million bear interest at 6%, and are payable quarterly with amounts ranging between $50,000 and $76,000, with maturity dates ranging from August 2011 through March 2013. The remaining balance of the notes payable, $1.1 million, are noninterest bearing and are payable annually with amounts ranging between $250,000 and $333,000, maturing in 2014. The Company made principal payments totaling $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

(11)         Financial Instruments
 
The FASB issued ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. ASC 815 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as a hedge must be adjusted to fair value in earnings. If the derivative does qualify as a hedge under ASC 815, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedge’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
 
In August 2008, in order to protect against interest rate exposure on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The agreement swaps one-month LIBOR for a fixed interest rate of 4.36% with a notional amount of $8.3 million and $7.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting under ASC 815, thus the difference between its amortized cost and its fair value resulted in an unrealized loss (gain) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, of $65,000 and $(197,000), respectively, and such amount was reported in interest and other expenses, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
 
(12)         Income Taxes
 
In preparing its financial statements, the Company estimates income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company generated $5.2 million of federal taxable income.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had an income tax benefit of $71,000 and $660,000 respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had an income tax benefit of $37,000 and $408,000, respectively.
 
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740 as it relates to uncertain tax positions. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the liability related to unrecognized tax benefits was $176,000. The Company recorded an additional liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $120,000 related to aquired liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and interest and penalties on prior year tax positions.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
 
The following table summarizes the activity related to the unrecognized tax benefits for the period ended June 30, 2011 (in thousands):
 
Balance at January 1, 2011
  $ 176  
Increase to prior year tax positions
    120  
Increase to current year tax positions
     
Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes
     
Decrease related to settlements
     
Balance at June 30, 2011
  $ 296  
 
The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income or state tax return examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2006 and 2005, respectively, which periods relate to certain acquired businesses. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for 2009 during the second quarter of 2011.  As of June 30, 2011, the IRS has not proposed any adjustments to the Company’s tax positions.  The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and faces audits from various tax authorities. The Company remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective tax jurisdiction. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of the unrecognized benefit will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been recorded. Deferred taxes are provided for earnings outside the United States when those earnings are not considered indefinitely reinvested.
 
 (13)        Segment and Geographical Information
 
The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC 280”). ASC 280, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products, major customers and the geographies in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the provisions of ASC 280, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment. The Company manages its resources and assesses its performance on an enterprise-wide basis. The Company’s product groups qualify for aggregation under ASC 280 due to their similarities in customer base, economic characteristics, and the nature of products and services provided.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, all of the Company’s revenues were generated in the U.S.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, $82.6 million, $5.6 million and $18.5 million of the Company’s revenues were generated in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, all of the Company’s revenues were generated in the U.S.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, $139.5 million, $10.3 million and $23.5 million of the Company’s revenues were generated in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., respectively.  As of December 31, 2010, total long-lived assets located in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. were $139.4 million, $26.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively.  As of June 30, 2011, total long-lived assets located in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. were $335.6 million, $28.0 million and $79.6 million, respectively.
 
(14)        Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date of this filing and identified the following items:
 
Senior Unsecured Notes
 
On July 19, 2011, the Company closed its previously announced private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount. The Notes are senior obligations of ExamWorks and are guaranteed by ExamWorks’ existing and future U.S. subsidiaries. A portion of the gross proceeds of $250.0 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company’s Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and pay related fees and expenses, and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
 
Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
 
On July 7, 2011, the Company entered into the Second Amendment becoming effective simultaneously with the consummation of the Company’s announced private offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal senior notes, which were issued on July 19, 2011. The Second Amendment, among other things, reduced the aggregate revolving commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $262.5 million, subject to the Company’s right to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $300.0 million, so long as the Company is not in default and the Company satisfies certain other customary conditions (see note 10). In conjunction with the reduction in the maximum commitment under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company recorded debt extinguishment costs of approximately $600,000 in July 2011.
 
Share Repurchase Program
 
On August 8, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the implementation of a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $20.0 million of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

Our Business
 
We are a leading provider of independent medical examinations, or “IMEs”, peer and bill reviews, and related services, which include litigation support services, administrative support services and medical record retrieval services. We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 27, 2007. From July 14, 2008 through the date of this filing, we have acquired 31 IME businesses, including a leading provider of software solutions to the IME industry. We currently operate out of 42 service centers servicing all 50 U.S. states, Canada and the United Kingdom. In June 2010, we effected a corporate reorganization creating a holding company, ExamWorks Group, Inc., with ExamWorks, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of ExamWorks Group, Inc.  In the fourth quarter of 2010, we issued 9.3 million shares of our common stock in the IPO.
 
We provide our services to property and casualty insurance carriers, law firms, third-party claim administrators, government agencies, and state funds that use independent services to confirm the veracity of claims by sick or injured individuals for workers’ compensation, automotive, personal injury liability and disability insurance coverage. We help our clients manage costs and enhance their risk management processes by verifying the validity, nature, cause and extent of claims, identifying fraud and providing fast, efficient and quality IME services.
 
We provide our clients with the local presence, expertise and broad geographic coverage they increasingly require. Our size and geographic reach give our clients access to our medical panel of credentialed physicians and other medical providers and our proprietary information technology infrastructure that has been specifically designed to streamline the complex process of coordinating referrals, scheduling appointments, complying with regulations and client reporting. Our primary service is to provide IMEs that give our clients authoritative and accurate answers to questions regarding the nature and permanency of medical conditions or personal injury, their cause and appropriate treatment. Additionally, we provide peer and bill reviews, which consist of medical opinions by members of our medical panel without conducting physical exams, and the review of physician and hospital bills to examine medical care rendered and its conformity to accepted standards of care.

Acquisitions
 
We operate in a highly fragmented industry and have completed numerous acquisitions. A key component of our business strategy is growth through acquisitions that expand our geographic coverage, provide new or complementary lines of business, expand our portfolio of services, and increase our market share. Another central feature of our business strategy is to grow our business organically by selling additional services to existing clients, cross-selling into additional insurance lines of business and expanding our geographic footprint with existing clients. To date, we have completed the following 31 acquisitions:

Sources of Revenues and Expenses
 
Revenues
 
We derive revenue primarily from fees charged for independent medical examinations, peer and bill reviews and other related services, which include litigation support services, administrative support services and medical record retrieval services. Revenues are recognized at the time services have been performed and, if applicable, at the time the report is shipped to the end user. We expect revenue to continue to increase through acquisition and organic growth.  Our revenue is derived from services performed in different geographic areas.
 
Costs of revenues
 
Costs of revenues are comprised of fees paid to members of our 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 revenue. We expect these operationally driven costs to increase to support future revenue growth and as we continue to grow through acquisitions.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses consist primarily of expenses for administrative, human resource related, corporate information technology support, legal (primarily from transaction costs related to acquisitions), finance and accounting personnel, professional fees (primarily from transaction costs related to acquisitions), insurance and other corporate expenses. We expect that SGA expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel to support the growth of our business and pursue acquisition growth. In addition, we anticipate that we will incur additional personnel expenses, professional service fees, including audit and legal, investor relations, costs of compliance with securities laws and regulations, and higher director and officer insurance costs related to operating as a public company. As a result, we expect that our SGA expenses will continue to increase in the future but decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as our revenue increases.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization (“D&A”) expense consists primarily of amortization of our finite lived intangible assets obtained through acquisitions completed to date and, to a lesser extent, depreciation of equipment and leasehold improvements. We expect that depreciation and amortization expense will increase as we continue our acquisition strategy.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is described and reconciled to net loss in the next section and is not a substitute for the GAAP equivalent.
 
Adjusted EBITDA
 
In connection with the ongoing operation of our business, our management regularly reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, share-based compensation expenses, and other non-recurring costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, lenders, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period to period after removing the impact of changes to our capitalization structure, acquisition related costs, income tax status, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
We believe that various forms of the Adjusted EBITDA metric are often used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies such as ours for the reasons discussed above. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used to measure certain financial covenants in our credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for planning purposes and in presentations to our Board of Directors as well as in our incentive compensation programs for our employees, excluding our senior management.
 
Non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information, as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results. Management uses, and investors should use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
Revenues. Revenues were $106.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $35.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $71.4 million, or 202%.  The change in revenues over the 2010 period was due primarily to acquisitions completed in 2010 and 2011.
 
 On a pro forma basis, revenues were $115.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $113.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Pro forma revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 assumes that the 2010 and 2011 acquisitions were completed on January 1, 2010.
 
Costs of revenues. Costs of revenues were $70.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $48.4 million, or 219%.  The change in cost of revenues over the 2010 period was due primarily to acquisitions completed in 2010 and 2011.  Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased from 62.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to 66.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The change was due primarily to higher costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the MES acquisition, offset in part by lower costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the Premex acquisition.
 
Selling, general and administrative. SGA expenses were $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $13.3 million, or 158%.  The change in SGA expenses over 2010 was due primarily to acquisitions completed in 2010 and 2011, with personnel expenses accounting for $7.9 million of this increase and the remainder resulting primarily from increases in rent, travel, phone, legal, insurance and other professional expenses.
 
Depreciation and amortization. D&A expenses were $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $7.9 million, or 219% The increase in D&A expenses over the 2010 period was due primarily to additional amortization of finite-lived intangible and tangible assets related to acquisitions completed during 2010 and 2011.
 
Interest and other expenses, net. Interest and other expenses, net were $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $1.9 million or 146%. Interest and other expenses, net increased primarily due to increased interest expenses related to additional borrowings to fund acquisitions, deferred loan cost amortization and a realized loss on foreign currency, offset by adjustments to an interest rate swap.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal capital requirements are to fund operations and acquisitions. To date, we have funded our capital needs from cash flow generated from operations, private placements of our common and preferred stock, the initial public offering, borrowings under our existing credit facility and the private offering of senior unsecured notes completed in July 2011. We have also funded our acquisition program with equity issuances to sellers and with seller debt financing. We expect that cash and cash equivalents, availability under our existing Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from the senior unsecured notes, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to support our operations, planned capital expenditures and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

Although we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and funds available under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and acquisition plans for at least the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities or increase borrowings to fund acquisitions. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and these securities might have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our current stockholders. Additional financing may not be available or, if available, such financing may not be obtained on terms favorable to our stockholders and us.
 
Credit Facilities
 
Credit Facility
 
 In November 2010, in conjunction with the initial public offering, we repaid $102.4 million of outstanding debt and terminated a credit facility.  This facility was replaced with a new senior secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto (the “Secured Senior Revolving Credit Facility”), which following the exercises of the accordion feature in February 2011 and, subsequently in May 2011, and as amended in July 2011 as defined below, provides for borrowings of up to $262.5 million. Up to $15.0 million of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility may be in the form of letters of credit, and up to $15.0 million may be in the form of swingline loans. Loans under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will be used to fund our acquisition program (plans) and for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions, and terminates in July 2016.
 
On May 6, 2011, we increased and fully exercised the accordion features of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.  The increase and exercise of the accordion feature increased the committed capacity of the credit facility by $55.0 million, from a total of $245.0 million to a total of $300.0 million.  Concurrently with the foregoing, we amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) permit its maximum senior leverage ratio to temporarily increase from 3.0 to 1 to 3.50 to 1 for the quarters ending June 30 and September 30, 2011 and 3.25 to 1 for the quarter ending December 31, 2011 and 3.0 to 1 thereafter;  and (ii) permit the netting of unrestricted domestic cash in excess of $2.5 million but not exceeding $12.5 million against funded indebtedness for purposes of calculating leverage ratios. 
 
On July 7, 2011, we entered into a second amendment to our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, (the “Second Amendment”) which became effective simultaneously with the consummation of our private offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal senior notes. The Second Amendment amended the Senior Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from November 2013 to July 2016; (ii) permit the issuance and sale of the Notes; (iii) replace the consolidated senior leverage ratio with a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio while permitting the maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio to be 3.00 to 1; (iv) permit our maximum consolidated leverage ratio to increase from 3.5 to 1 to 4.75 to 1; (v) reduce the borrowing cost; and (vi) allow us to complete acquisitions with a purchase price of up to $75.0 million (previously $50.0 million) without prior lender consent. The Second Amendment also reduced the aggregate revolving commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $262.5 million, subject to our right to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $300.0 million, so long as we are not in default and we satisfy certain other customary conditions.
 
Our obligations under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, and such obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of us and our domestic subsidiaries; however, in the case of our foreign subsidiaries, no more than 65% of the capital stock of first-tier subsidiaries shall be pledged, and no assets will be encumbered by liens in favor of our lenders.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest, at either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate (equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Bank of America prime rate and (c) LIBOR (using a one month-period) plus 1.0%), plus the applicable margin, as we elect. The applicable margin means a percentage per annum determined in accordance with the following table:

In the event of default, the outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at an additional 2%.
 
The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants, including among other things financial covenants requiring us to not exceed a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage coverage ratio, a maximum total consolidated leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility also restricts our ability (subject to certain exceptions) to incur indebtedness, prepay or amend other indebtedness, create liens, make certain fundamental changes including mergers or dissolutions, pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock, make certain investments, sell assets, change our lines of business, enter into transactions with affiliates and other corporate actions.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
 
The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility also includes events of default typical of these types of credit facilities and transactions, including, but not limited to, the nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts owing under the new Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the violation of covenants, the inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults, insolvency, certain ERISA events, material judgments and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the lenders not being required to lend any additional amounts and the acceleration of obligations under the new Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, causing such obligations to be due and payable immediately, which could materially and adversely affect us.
 
As of June 30, 2011, there was $204.0 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.  As of August 5, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility as the full amount outstanding under the facility was repaid with proceeds from the senior unsecured notes offered in July 2011.
 
  Working Capital Facilities
 
On September 29, 2010, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary UK Independent Medical Services Limited (“UKIM”) entered into a Sales Finance Agreement (“SFA”) with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), pursuant to which Barclays will provide UKIM a working capital facility of up to £5,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.5% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on June 30, 2011) and serves to finance UKIM’s unpaid account receivables. The working capital facility will operate on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, we had $5.9 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $2.1 million in availability.
 
On May 12, 2011, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Premex Group Limited (“Premex”) entered into a SFA with Barclays, pursuant to which Barclays will provide Premex a working capital facility of up to £26,500,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.4% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on June 30, 2011) and serves to finance Premex’s unpaid account receivables. The working capital facility operates on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, we had $37.1 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $5.4 million in availability.

Senior Unsecured Notes
 
On July 19, 2011, we closed our previously announced private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount. The Notes are senior obligations of ExamWorks and are guaranteed by ExamWorks’ existing and future U.S. subsidiaries. A portion of the gross proceeds of $250.0 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and pay related fees and expenses, and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
 
Cash Flow Summary
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $7.2 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $15.1 million at June 30, 2010.
 
Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reported in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, are summarized as follows:
 
   
For the six months ended

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Net cash provided by operating activities for 2011 consisted of our net loss of $631,000 which was offset by net non-cash charges of $20.1 million (consisting primarily of $20.1 million in depreciation and amortization and $3.0 million from share based compensation expenses, offset by a net decrease in deferred income taxes of $2.6 million) and a decrease in working capital of approximately $3.1 million in 2011 (primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets and deferred revenues offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses). Net cash provided by operating activities for 2010 consisted of our net loss of $667,000 which was offset by non-cash charges of $6.8 million (consisting primarily of $6.5 million in depreciation and amortization) and an increase in working capital of approximately $672,000 (primarily driven by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets).
 
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $284.8 million and $63.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  This increase was directly attributable to cash paid for increased acquisition activity and capital asset purchases during 2011 and 2010 of approximately $283.2 million and $62.9 million, respectively.
 
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $241.9 million and $69.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The 2011 increase was primarily attributable to borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of $264.0 million, which was used to the fund the MES and Premex acquisitions and borrowings under the Barclay’s Working Capital Facility of $37.8 million, used to repay a portion of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, offset by $60.0 million in repayments of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.  The 2010 increase was primarily attributable to the net issuance of preferred stock of $32.4 million, net borrowings under the previous term loan facility of $41.0 million, and net issuance of common stock of approximately $2.8 million, offset by the repayment of a note payable to a related party of $3.5 million and net repayments and borrowings under our previous revolving credit facility and subordinated unsecured notes payable of approximately $600,000 and $639,000, respectively.

Contingencies
 
We record contingent liabilities resulting from asserted and unasserted claims against us when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. We disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded liability. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors, in some cases including judgments about the potential actions of third-party claimants and courts. Therefore, actual losses in any future period are inherently uncertain. We currently are not involved in any material legal proceedings. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to any future proceedings. Contingent liabilities are described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

As of June 30, 2011, we leased our office spaces for our corporate locations in Atlanta, Georgia and New York, New York and also for 42 of our service centers in various cities under non-cancelable lease agreements.
 
We have certain contractual obligations including various debt agreements with requirements to make interest payments. These amounts are subject to the level of borrowings in future periods and the interest rate for the applicable periods, and therefore the amounts of these payments are not determinable. Based upon amounts outstanding at June 30, 2011 and applicable interest rates ranging between 0.0% and 6.0%, interest amounts are expected to be approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, approximately $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately $448,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, and immaterial thereafter.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We engage in no activities, obligations or exposures associated with off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Overview and Definitions
 
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include those related to accounts receivable reserves, goodwill and other intangible assets, share-based compensation other equity instruments, income and other taxes, derivative instruments and contingent obligations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the impact of changes in key assumptions may not be linear. Our management has reviewed the application of these policies with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. We believe that our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue related to IMEs, peer reviews, bill reviews and administrative support services is recognized at the time services have been performed and the report is shipped to the end user. We believe that recognizing revenue at the time the report is shipped is appropriate because we meet the following four criteria in accordance with ASC 605-10-S25, Revenue Recognition: Overall, (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) shipment has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Revenue related to other IME services, including litigation support services and medical record retrieval services, where no report is generated, is recognized at the time the service is performed. We believe that recognizing revenue at the time the service is performed is appropriate because we meet the following four criteria in accordance with ASC 605-10-S25, (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Accounts receivable balances consist of amounts owed to us for services provided in the normal course of business and are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Generally, no collateral is received from clients and the collectability of trade receivable balances is regularly evaluated based on a combination of factors such as client credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment patterns and additions to the allowance are made based on these trends. Accounts are reviewed regularly for collectability and those deemed uncollectible are written off.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Based on the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and between annual valuations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances include: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using primarily the income, or discounted cash flows, approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
 
Intangible assets, including customer relationships, tradenames, covenants not to compete and technology that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.
 
We performed our annual impairment review of goodwill in October 2010 and reviewed subsequent events through December 31, 2010 and determined that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired as of year end. Further, we believe that there have been no facts or circumstances through the date of this filing that indicate an impairment of goodwill exists.

Deferred Income Taxes
 
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we generated $5.2 million of federal taxable income.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we had an income tax benefit of $71,000 and $660,000, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we had an income tax benefit of $37,000 and $408,000, respectively.
 
Additionally, we currently have significant deferred tax assets and other deductible temporary differences including basis differences between intangible assets. We do not provide a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as we believe that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized based on available evidence including scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and other tax planning considerations.
 
We apply the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), as it relates to uncertain tax positions. This guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclosure in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. As of January 1, 2009, we recognized a liability for unrecognized tax liabilities of $96,000.  As of December 31, 2010 the liability related to unrecognized tax benefits was $176,000 and we recognized an additional liability related to unrecognized tax benefits of $120,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011.  We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
 
We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income or state tax return examinations by tax authorities before 2006 and 2005, respectively, which periods relate to certain acquired businesses. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an examination of our U.S. income tax returns for 2009 during the second quarter of 2011.  As of the date of this filing, the IRS has not proposed any adjustments to our tax positions. We operate in multiple taxing jurisdictions and face audits from various tax authorities. We remain subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective tax jurisdiction. We do not anticipate that the amount of the unrecognized benefit will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
 
Share-Based Compensation and Other Equity Instruments
 
Our stock incentive plan provides for the granting of stock options and share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on the grant date (or measurement date, if different) and recognition of compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. We use the straight-line amortization method for recognizing share-based compensation expense.

The fair value of stock option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded stock options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics not present in these stock options. Additionally, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded stock options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its share-based awards. Our expected volatility assumptions are based on publicly traded peer group’s median implied historical volatility. We expect to continue to use an estimate based on our peer group’s historical volatility until we have adequate historical data regarding the volatility of our traded stock price. Expected life assumptions are based upon the “simplified” method as described in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. This option has been elected as we do not have sufficient stock option exercise experience to support a reasonable estimate of the expected term. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected term of the option. We recognize compensation expense for only the portion of stock options that are expected to vest. Accordingly, we have estimated expected forfeitures of stock options based on historical forfeiture experience rates and used these to develop a future rate. If our actual forfeiture rate varies from our historical rates and estimates, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.
 
Since our initial public offering in the fourth quarter of 2010, the per share exercise price of our stock option grants equals the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
 
In the first two quarters of 2011, we issued approximately 2.3 million stock option awards to certain employees. The weighted average fair value of each stock option was $8.95 per option and the aggregate fair value was $20.9 million. All of these awards vest over a three-year period. All of these options could vest earlier in the event of a change in control or merger or other acquisition. Share-based compensation expense was $184,000 and $298,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, all of which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Share-based compensation expense was $2.0 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, of which $650,000 was included in costs of revenues in both periods, and $1.4 million and $2.4 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, the unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option grants was $24.5 million with a remaining weighted average life of 2.0 years.
 
Accounting for Acquisitions
 
Accounting for acquisitions requires us to recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity. Our accounting for acquisitions involves significant judgments and estimates, including the fair value of certain forms of consideration such as our common stock, the fair value of acquired intangible assets, which involve projections of future revenues, cash flows and terminal value, which are then discounted at an estimated discount rate, the fair value of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including potential contingencies, and the useful lives of the assets. The projections are developed using internal forecasts, available industry and market data and estimates of long-term rates of growth for our business. The impact of prior or future acquisitions on our financial position or results of operations may be materially impacted by the change in or initial selection of assumptions and estimates.
 
Financial Instruments
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance codified as ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 is effective for interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As such, we adopted the provisions of ASC 820 effective January 1, 2008.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), delayed the effective date of the application of ASC 820 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. Nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the Company has not applied the provisions of ASC 820 primarily include those measured at fair value in goodwill and long-lived asset impairment testing, those initially measured at fair value in a business combination, and nonfinancial liabilities for exit or disposal activities.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
 
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterpart credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
 
 Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on the company’s own assumptions.
 
The Company’s financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are categorized using the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, and are as follows (in thousands):
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2

The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using observable market inputs, such as current interest rates, and considers nonperformance risk of the Company and that of its counterparties.
 
The contingent consideration relates to earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with certain acquisitions completed in 2009 and 2010. Of the total decrease in fair value of the contingent consideration of $1.6 million from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011, $293,000 was settled as cash consideration to satisfy the first installment related to a 2009 acquisition, approximately $500,000 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, and approximately $800,000 was recorded in interest and other expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified as ASC 825, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This provision of ASC 825 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  As the Company did not elect the fair value option, the adoption of this provision of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”), addressing revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, eliminates the residual method of allocation, requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, and significantly expands disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 effective January 1, 2011 and this adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.  The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under FASB ASC Topic 805 (ASC 805), Business Combinations, to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2011.  We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-29 effective January 1, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  We included the expanded disclosure requirements required under ASU 2010-29 for all acquisitions completed in 2011.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on fair value measurement. These amendments have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The common requirements are expected to result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  We plan to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2012. Adoption of these provisions is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2011 that we have not yet been required to adopt, none of which are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
 
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates as well as inflation. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates which affect our debt as well as cash flows. We may also face additional exchange rate risk in the future as we expand our business internationally.
 
Interest Rate Risk. As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $7.2 million. These amounts were held for future acquisition and working capital purposes and were held in non-interest bearing accounts, of which $5.4 million were held in the U.S. The U.S. amounts are insured in full against bank failure through June 30, 2012 under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
 
Our outstanding debt of $204.0 million and $43.0 million at June 30, 2011 related to indebtedness under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and working capital facilities, respectively, both of which contain a floating interest rate. Thus, our interest rate is subject to market risk in the form of fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a hypothetical one percentage point increase in our variable rate debt would result in an increase of $2.5 million in our annual pre-tax net loss assuming no further changes in the amount of borrowings subject to variable rate interest from amounts outstanding at June 30, 2011.
 
In August 2008, as required under our then existing credit facility, in order to protect against interest rate exposure on its variable-rate debt, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate applicable to our variable-rate debt. The agreement swaps one-month LIBOR for a fixed interest rate of 4.36%. We do not, and do not intend to, engage in the practice of trading derivative securities for profit.

Foreign Exchange Risk. As of June 30, 2011, we have foreign currency risks related to our revenues and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. We do not currently hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations given that the net difference between foreign currency denominated revenue and operating expenses is relatively small. In the future, however, we may hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
 
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011.  Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
 
ExamWorks Group, Inc. is currently a party to various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities.  While the Company does not presently believe that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings will have a material impact on its business, operating results or financial condition, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.  If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, it is possible that such ruling could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition in the period in which the ruling occurs.  Our current estimates of the potential impact from such legal proceedings could change in the future.
 
 
There have been no material changes in the risks facing the Company as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
