MedQuist Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information


   
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the historical consolidated financial information of MedQuist Holdings Inc. (“MedQuist”) and Multimodal Technologies Inc. (“Multimodal”).
 
     On August 18, 2011, MedQuist completed the Acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Multimodal through a series of mergers between Multimodal and direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of MedQuist (the “Merger”). On the closing date, MedQuist paid an aggregate of approximately $49.0 million in cash to Multimodal's shareholders, optionholders and other third parties and issued an aggregate of 4,134,896 shares of MedQuist common stock to Multimodal's shareholders who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. MedQuist is also obligated to pay up to approximately $28.8 million of additional cash consideration in three installments of approximately $16.3 million, $4.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, following the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date. MedQuist had no prior material relationship with Multimodal other than the agreements related to the Merger described in MedQuist's Form 8-K filed on August 23, 2011 and previously disclosed commercial transactions between MedQuist and its affiliates and Multimodal.
    
     The historical consolidated financial information of MedQuist has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma information does not reflect revenue opportunities and cost savings that may be realized after the Merger. The pro forma financial information also does not reflect expenses related to integration activity or exit costs that may be incurred by MedQuist in connection with integrating the businesses.
 
     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the Merger occurred on June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 are presented as if the Merger occurred on January 1, 2010 and combines MedQuist's audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 with Multimodal's audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and combines MedQuist's unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 with Multimodal's unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
     The pro forma adjustments related to the Merger are preliminary and do not reflect the final allocation of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, as the fair values assigned to the various tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the dates or periods indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that may occur in the future.

     In accordance with SEC regulations, no benefit has been reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011, for anticipated synergies from the Acquisition including the benefit of reducing certain third party speech recognition licensing costs by approximately $8.0 million annually by 2013, as the result of a transaction that MedQuist entered into with one of its current speech recognition vendors on June 30, 2011, pursuant to which MedQuist agreed to pay such third party vendor an agreed upon amount, prior to September 15, 2011, in full satisfaction of MedQuist's license fee obligations for the remainder of the current license term. As a result of this transaction and the Acquisition, MedQuist expects to transition its back-end speech recognition to the Multimodal platform during 2012. Any unamortized pre-paid license fees to the third party vendor that will not be utilized will be reflected as a restructuring expense.

     Further, the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect both the expensing of the historical Multimodal research and development costs as well as the amortization of developed technology based upon the fair value of the asset recorded in purchase accounting.

MedQuist Holdings In. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information





1.) Description of the Acquisition

     As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 23, 2011 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), on August 18, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), MedQuist Holdings Inc. completed the Acquisition of Multimodal Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Multimodal”) through a series of mergers between Multimodal and direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Multimodal became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On the Closing Date, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately $49.0 million in cash to Multimodal’s shareholders, optionholders and other third parties and issued an aggregate of 4,134,896 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to Multimodal’s shareholders who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company is also obligated to pay up to approximately $28.8 million of additional cash consideration in three installments of approximately $16.3 million, $4.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, following the first, second and third anniversaries of the Closing Date.


2.) Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of MedQuist and Multimodal and prepared and presented pursuant to the regulations of the SEC regarding pro forma financial information. The 2010 unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes MedQuist's audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. Multimodal historical financial information includes the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. The 2011 presentation includes the unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations of MedQuist for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the unaudited historical consolidated balance sheet of MedQuist as of June 30, 2011. Multimodal's historical information includes the unaudited historical statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the unaudited historical balance sheet as of June 30, 2011.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the Acquisition method of accounting under Financing Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASC Topic 805 requires, among other things, that identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the Acquisition date, which is presumed to be the closing date of the Acquisition. The Acquisition closed on August 18, 2011. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may be materially different from the actual Acquisition accounting adjustments required as of the Acquisition date.

     Under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, “fair value” is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be unrelated buyers and sellers in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

     Total Acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by MedQuist are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. Under ASC Topic 805, Acquisition-related transaction costs (such as advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees) are not included as components of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
     
     The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma financial information does not reflect revenue opportunities and cost savings that we may realize after the Acquisition. No assurance can be given with respect to the estimated revenue opportunities and operating cost savings that may be realized as a result of the Acquisition. The pro forma financial information also does not reflect expenses related to integration activity or exit costs that may be incurred by MedQuist in connection with integrating the businesses.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information



     In accordance with SEC regulations, no benefit has been reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011, for anticipated synergies from the Acquisition including the benefit of reducing certain third party speech recognition licensing costs by approximately $8.0 million annually by 2013, as the result of a transaction that MedQuist entered into with one of its current speech recognition vendors on June 30, 2011, pursuant to which MedQuist agreed to pay such third party vendor an agreed upon amount, prior to September 15, 2011, in full satisfaction of MedQuist's license fee obligations for the remainder of the current license term. As a result of this transaction and the Acquisition, MedQuist expects to transition its back-end speech recognition to the Multimodal platform during 2012. Any unamortized pre-paid license fees to the third party vendor that will not be utilized will be reflected as a restructuring expense.

     Further, the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect both the expensing of the historical Multimodal research and development costs as well as the amortization of developed technology based upon the fair value of the asset recorded in purchase accounting.


    
3.) Accounting Policies

     MedQuist has performed a preliminary review of Multimodal's accounting policies and procedures. As a result of that review, MedQuist has not identified any differences between the accounting policies and practices of the two companies that, when conformed, may have a material impact on the future operating results.


4.) Consideration Transferred

     At August 18, 2011 MedQuist transferred the following consideration including deferred cash payments for the purchase of Multimodal.

Total consideration transferred
$

     The initial cash consideration included payments to third parties of approximately $4.0 million. The deferred cash payments were discounted using our incremental borrowing rate under our revolving loan facility at 7.75%. The fair value of the unregistered common stock transferred was measured using MedQuist's closing stock price on August 18, 2011 and then discounted for the restrictions on the ability to sell or otherwise transfer the shares until such time as they are registered and able to be sold.


5.) Estimate of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed

     Each of these adjustments represents preliminary estimates of the fair value of Multimodal's assets and liabilities and periodic amortization of such adjustments to the extent applicable at June 30, 2011. Actual adjustments will be made when the valuation is completed and will be based on the fair value of Multimodal's assets and liabilities at the closing date. Accordingly, the actual adjustments to Multimodal's assets and liabilities and the related amortization of such adjustments may differ from the estimates reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

     The following is a preliminary estimate of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by MedQuist in connection with the Acquisition, reconciled to the purchase consideration ($ in thousands) as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2011.

(p) Represents the additional shares of common stock issued in conjunction with the Acquisition.



     In accordance with SEC regulations, no benefit has been reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011, for anticipated synergies from the Acquisition including the benefit of reducing certain third party speech recognition licensing costs by approximately $8.0 million annually by 2013, as the result of a transaction that MedQuist entered into with one of its current speech recognition vendors on June 30, 2011, pursuant to which MedQuist agreed to pay such third party vendor an agreed upon amount, prior to September 15, 2011, in full satisfaction of MedQuist's license fee obligations for the remainder of the current license term. As a result of this transaction and the Acquisition, MedQuist expects to transition its back-end speech recognition to the Multimodal platform during 2012. Any unamortized pre-paid license fees to the third party vendor that will not be utilized will be reflected as a restructuring expense.

     Further, the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect both the expensing of the historical Multimodal research and development costs as well as the amortization of developed technology based upon the fair value of the asset recorded in purchase accounting.

upon amount, prior to September 15, 2011, in full satisfaction of MedQuist's license fee obligations for the remainder of the current license term. As a result of this transaction and the Acquisition, MedQuist expects to transition its back-end speech recognition to the Multimodal platform during 2012. Any unamortized pre-paid license fees to the third party vendor that will not be utilized will be reflected as a restructuring expense.

     Further, the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect both the expensing of the historical Multimodal research and development costs as well as the amortization of developed technology based upon the fair value of the asset recorded in purchase accounting.

     Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations, plus or minus income taxes, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization, cost (benefit) of legal proceedings, settlements, and accommodations, acquisition and restructuring charges, share based compensation, the gain on sale of investment and equity in income of affiliated company. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out the following:

potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense, net), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies for changes in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting depreciation expense);

the impact of non-cash charges, and

the impact of acquisition and integration related charges, restructuring charges, and certain unusual or nonrecurring items.

     Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of operating performance on a more consistent basis, we also use Adjusted EBITDA in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our profitability or liquidity. We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
