We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of UNITED CHECK SERVICES, L.L.C. (Company)as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income and changes in members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UNITED CHECK SERVICES, L.L.C. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

UNITED CHECK SERVICES, L.L.C. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
NOTE A | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| | |
| | NATURE OF SERVICES |
| | UNITED CHECK SERVICES, L.L.C. (Company) provides automated clearinghouse (ACH) services and payroll advance services to businesses throughout the United States. The Company’s operations center is located in Gulfport, Mississippi. |
| | |
| | REVENUE RECOGNITION |
| | The Company charges customers a fee for its ACH clearing and Payroll Advance services. For these transactions, the Company recognizes only the fees generated as revenue. The Company recognizes these fees as revenue when the Company has provided the service to its customers. |
| | |
| | Fees for ACH clearing services are based on contractually determined rates with each individual customer. Settlements paid to customers for ACH transactions are submitted to the customer net of fees due the Company. |
| | |
| | The Company charges a flat fee for each payroll advance issued. This fee is recognized as revenue at the time the payroll advance is funded. |
| | |
| | BASIS OF ACCOUNTING |
| | The books and records of the Company are kept on the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. |
| | |
| | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT |
| | Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using primarily straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. |
| | |
| | USE OF ESTIMATES |
| | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| | |
| | INCOME TAXES |
| | The Company will file its federal and state income tax returns as a partnership. As such, the Company will not pay income taxes, as any income or loss will be included in the tax returns of the individual members. Accordingly, no provision is made for income taxes in the financial statements. |
| | |
| | ADVERTISING |
| | Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. The amount charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled $2,609 and $3,497, respectively. |

UNITED CHECK SERVICES, L.L.C. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
NOTE A | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
| | |
| | STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION |
| | For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
| | |
NOTE B | | TRADE RECEIVABLES |
| | Trade receivables at December 31, 2004 and 2003, consist primarily of ACH Settlements due from customers and Payroll Advance settlements due from employees of an employee leasing company with, which the Company has an agreement to provide payroll advances to its employees. A description of these receivables follows: |
| | |
| | | ACH Settlements |
| | | ACH Settlements consist of amounts due from customers that have utilized the Company for ACH clearing services. These receivables are carried at the amount due to the Company. ACH Settlements Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Use of this method does not result in a material difference from the valuation method required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. |
| | | |
| | | Payroll Advance Settlements |
| | | Under an agreement with an employee leasing company, employees of the employee leasing company are able to obtain payroll advances through the Company. These employees must have worked hours sufficient to cover the amount of the advance being requested. The employee leasing company withholds the amount of the advance at the next payroll date, and remits the amount of the advance to the Company. |
| | |
NOTE C | | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT |
| | Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31: |
| 2004 | | | 2003 | |

RIVERBEND TELECOM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
NOTE A | | PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT |
| | |
| | On March 30, 2005, Riverbend Telecom, Inc. (Riverbend) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between Riverbend and Riverbend Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), its wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which Riverbend transferred all of its assets, liabilities and other obligations to Holdings in consideration for Holdings common stock. In addition, Riverbend distributed all of the Holdings common stock to the then-existing four Riverbend shareholders, on a pro rata basis. |
| | |
| | Upon consummation of the agreement, Riverbend completed the contribution transaction with United Check Services, L.L.C. (United), according to the terms of a Contribution Agreement entered into on July 14, 2004, as amended by a Letter Agreement dated August 5, 2004 (collectively, the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the two equity owners of United contributed all of their limited liability membership interests in United to Riverbend in exchange for 15,315,000 shares of Riverbend’s common stock. As a result, United became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Riverbend. |
| | |
| | Accordingly, the unaudited financial statements reflect only the business of United as of March 31, 2005 (the “Company”), and do not include any of the former business of Riverbend Telecom, Inc. |
| | |
NOTE B | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| | |
| | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
| | The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary United Check Services, L.L.C., provides automated clearinghouse (ACH) services and payroll advance services to businesses throughout the United States. The operations center for the Company is located in Gulfport, Mississippi. |
| | |
| | REVENUE RECOGNITION |
| | The Company charges customers a fee for its ACH clearing and Payroll Advance services. For these transactions, the Company recognizes only the fees generated as revenue. These fees are recognized as revenue when the Company has provided the service to its customers. |
| | |
| | Fees for ACH clearing services are based on contractually determined rates with each individual customer. Settlements paid to customers for ACH transactions are submitted to the customer net of fees due the Company. |
| | |
| | The Company charges a flat fee for each payroll advance issued. This fee is recognized as revenue at the time the payroll advance is funded. |

RIVERBEND TELECOM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
NOTE B | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
| | |
| | BASIS OF ACCOUNTING |
| | The books and records of the Company are kept on the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. |
| | |
| | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT |
| | Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is five years for office and computer equipment and three years for significant software |
| | |
| | STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION |
| | For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
| | |
| | USE OF ESTIMATES |
| | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| |
NOTE C | | RESTRICTED CASH |
| | |
| | Restricted cash consists primarily of funds maintained in the Company’s primary bank account to facilitate ACH transactions. The Company has restricted this cash from operations in order to ensure that sufficient funds are maintained to process and settle customer’s ACH transactions. |
| | |
NOTE D | | NOTE PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS |
| | |
| | On July 14, 2004, the two members of United agreed to take a distribution for the amount of undistributed earnings accumulated by United through June 30, 2004, which amounted to $156,000. In order to ease the cash flow requirements on United, the members agreed to accept a note for the amount of the distribution. The amount of the distribution was combined with the amount of advances owed by United to the two members of $100,000, and a note payable due to the Company’s members for the amount of $256,000 was established. The note requires interest-only payments, at an annual percentage rate of 10%, for two years, with principal due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2005 the principal balance of these notes was $236,000. |

That is, the transaction, after Riverbend’s disposition of its assets, is equivalent to the issuance of stock by United for the net monetary assets of Riverbend, accompanied by a recapitalization.
These Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for both Riverbend and United contained elsewhere.

RIVERBEND TELECOM, INC. AND UNITED CHECK SERVICES, LLC NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 2005 AND DECEMBER 31, 2004 |
The unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the financial position would have been had the acquisition been consummated at the indicated dates, nor are they indicative of the merged Company’s results of operations and balance sheet of any future period.
Note 1 – Overview
Riverbend and United have entered into a Contribution Agreement to allow Riverbend to acquire the assets of United. Riverbend is an SEC reporting company and United is a Louisiana Limited Liability Company that provides automated clearinghouse (ACH) services and payroll advance services to businesses throughout the United States.
Prior to the closing of the Contribution Agreement, Riverbend is required to spin-off all of its existing assets and liabilities to a temporary subsidiary established to facilitate the spin-off and to distribute the capital stock of the temporary subsidiary to the shareholders of Riverbend. In consideration of the purchase by Riverbend, Riverbend will issue 15,315,000 million shares of Riverbend common stock to United’s members. Following this transaction, Riverbend will have a total of 17,361,667 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, outstanding.
Note 2 – Adjustments to the Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma Financial Statements
The pro forma adjustments reflect the effect of the spin-off of assets and liabilities of the Company to a temporary subsidiary as a condition of the reverse acquisition of the Company with United.
Note 3 – Income Taxes
For purposes of these unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements, income tax expense has been recognized on the pro forma net income using an effective income tax rate of 34%.
Historically, United has filed its federal and state income tax returns as a partnership. As such, United will not pay income taxes related to its earnings and profits up to the date of the reverse acquisition, as any income or loss of United will be included in the tax returns of its individual members.
Note 4 – Pro Forma Basic Earnings per Share
Pro Forma basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and for the year ended December 31, 2004, are computed to reflect the capital structure as though the reverse merger occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented.
