NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization
On June 6, 2007 (the “Purchase Date”), triVIN Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of triVIN, Inc. (“triVIN”), also a Delaware corporation, and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, General Systems Solutions, Inc. (“GSS”), a Connecticut corporation, and FDI Computer Consulting, Inc. (“FDI” also doing business as FDI Collateral Management), a California corporation.
GSS provides various on-line and service-bureau automotive vehicle registration services to customers throughout the United States. FDI provides collateral management and electronic title management services to customers within the financial services industry. The services of both subsidiaries are provided using internally developed software.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 consisted of interest-bearing bank deposits. At December 31, 2010, $250,000 of cash is restricted as collateral for an outstanding letter of credit (see Note 7) and this account must be maintained for the duration of the letter of credit.
Customer Funds
Under its contractual arrangements, GSS collects funds from its customers and remits such amounts to the various state departments of motor vehicle registries. Once collected, such amounts are maintained in seperate bank accounts and are reflected as customer funds. Customer funds are reduced by payments made by GSS on behalf of the customers. Periodically, GSS draws down the customer funds for reimbursement of fees and other advances. Payments made to the various registries, plus fees, in advance of receipt from the customer, are recorded as customer funds receivable. As such, these funds are segregated from operating cash for the use described herein.
Recognition of Revenue and Deferred Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
FDI
FDI’s collateral management solution provides paper and electronic based title services. Customer contracts are principally comprised of two elements: (1) title perfection and (2) title administration and release.
Collateral management services are delivered either manually (for paper-based) or electronically. Paper-based title management services require FDI to physically hold, store and manually release the title. Electronic title management services require an electronic title and data storage; the release of the title can be accomplished by the lien holder and does not require manual action by FDI.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Recognition of Revenue and Deferred Revenue (Continued)
FDI (Continued)
Deliverables for paper and electronic title management arrangements are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered element(s) have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in the control of FDI, and (iii) evidence of fair value is available.
Based on the above criteria, both paper and electronic based collateral management service revenue is separated into two units of accounting. FDI recognizes a portion of the paper-based transaction fee upon completion of the lien documentation and for electronic-based transactions upon receipt of the title record. A portion of both the paper and electronic-based transaction fee is deferred and recognized by FDI as the title is released for the customer.
GSS
GSS earns revenue for registration services, which is recognized on a per transaction basis after services have been rendered.
Accounts Receivable
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical experience, and existing economic conditions. Trade receivables are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. Long-term accounts receivable consists of title management services that are paid by a customer when the title is released, which is expected to extend beyond twelve months.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment and purchased software for internal use are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The carrying values at December 31, 2010 are presented net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (computer hardware and internal use software – 3 or 7 years; property and equipment – 5 to 11 years; leasehold improvements – 5 or 6 years or – lesser of life of asset or term of lease; capitalized leased equipment – 5 to 11 years). Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. There was no interest capitalized for the year ended December 31, 2010. Property and equipment are periodically reviewed by the Company for indicators of impairment. In the event that indicators of impairment are indentified, the carrying value of the assets are evaluated for recoverability. The Company did not note any indicators of impairment for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. Impairment exists if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The result of the Company’s impairment reviews for the year ended December 31, 2010, did not result in any impairment adjustments. Intangible assets with finite lives are periodically reviewed by the Company for indicators of impairment. In the event that indicators of impairment are indentified, the carrying value of the assets are evaluated for recoverability. The Company did not note any indicators of impairment for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Deferred Expenses and Capitalized Software
Deferred expenses represent the costs of computers provided to customers for the term of their contracts and are amortized over the estimated economic life of the associated asset, which is usually twenty-four months. Amortization expense of deferred costs was $25,745 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Costs incurred in developing internal use computer software are capitalized after technological feasibility for the related software has been reached. Costs incurred during the planning, design and post-implementation stages are expensed when incurred. Amortization of these costs is recorded at the greater of the estimated cash flow from customers using the product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, which is generally sixty to eighty-four months.
Deferred Rent and Lease Incentive
The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. The difference between the lease payments and the related expense for the year is recorded as deferred rent and lease incentive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The accounting standards related to stock-based compensation require all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as an operating expense, based on their fair values on the grant date, over the requisite service period.
The Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton formula as a valuation method for estimating the fair value of the options granted. The Company recognizes compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The estimated forfeiture rate is 5%. Per the provisions of the accounting standards related to stock-based compensation, expense is recognized only for those awards expected to fully vest. If actual forfeitures differ from the estimates, a revision to the forfeiture rate is made.
Concentrations
The Company does not believe there is material risk posed by a concentration of revenue originating from any one customer. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is, however, generated from products through contracts that provide for computer interfaces with Departments of Motor Vehicles in various states. Should a contract be terminated by a state, there could be a material impact on the Company’s financial performance.
The financial instruments that expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with high-credit quality institutions. At most times, such amounts are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company monitors its exposure associated with cash balances and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Based on routine assessment of its customers’ financial strength, the Company believes the credit risk exposure related to trade accounts receivable is not significant. Customer collateral is not required. Allowances for credit losses are provided based primarily on a specific identification basis and have been historically within management’s expectations. Once a customer is identified as high risk, based on the customer’s payment history and credit worthiness, the Company will provide an allowance for the estimated uncollectible portion. Accounts are considered past due based on the invoice date and are written-off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred revenue.
Advertising Costs
Costs incurred for advertising are charged to expense as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred $196,668 in advertising costs.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Tax provisions and credits are recorded at statutory rates for taxable items included in the consolidated statements of operations regardless of the period for which such items are reported for tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The Company accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a “cumulative probability assessment” that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties assessed, if any, are accrued as income tax expense.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments in accordance with accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities (see Note 8). The guidance requires companies to recognize certain derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from the counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified to operations when the hedged transaction affects operations.
The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair values of its financial instruments in accordance with accounting standards related to fair measurements, which among other matters, requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments that are measured and reported at fair value. The fair value measurement standards establish a hierarchal disclosure framework, which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Financial instruments are measured and reported at fair value and can be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The Company has no Level 1 financial instruments.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The Company’s interest rate swap is considered to be a Level 2 financial instrument.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the instrument and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company uses Level 3 inputs when evaluating the fair value of the reporting unit for the purposes of its goodwill impairment tests.
Management has determined that the carrying values of financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable), as of December 31, 2010, approximate fair value given the short-term nature of these instruments. Management has determined that the carrying value of the Company’s debt approximates fair value based on expected cash flows and current market conditions.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 8, 2011, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. On January 7, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (a NASDAQ traded public company) to purchase all of the stock of triVIN Holdings, Inc. for consideration, subject to adjustment, of $130,960,058. The transaction was completed on January 31, 2011. This transaction resulted in the Company’s outstanding indebtedness and related interest rate swap arrangement being settled in full as of January 31, 2011. Certain other liabilities were also required to be settled at the closing date.

Senior Secured Term Loans, due June 2013 | $ | 20,036,937 | ||
Senior Secured Subordinated Note, due June 2014 | 10,212,483 | |||
Junior Secured Subordinated Note, due June 2015 | 10,779,153 | |||

The Senior Secured Term Loans, which had an original principal amount of $24,000,000, provide for interest to be paid in arrears for one-, two-, three- or six-month periods at the Company’s election. The Company can also elect for each period to use either: (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for that period plus 400 basis points, or (ii) a Base Rate (which is the greater of the Wall Street Journal prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus one half percent plus 300 basis points). Based upon the Company’s most recent election on November 26, 2010, one month LIBOR was applied to this facility and the resulting interest rate was 4.26% per annum at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, there was $20,036,937 outstanding on this facility, with scheduled payments due in the next year of $600,000 and $2,260,000 as a mandatory payment of excess cash flow as defined in the credit agreement.
A Senior Secured Revolving Note, which provides the ability to borrow up to $10,000,000, provides for interest in the same manner as described above for the Senior Secured Term Loans. The Company pays a fee of one half of one percent (0.5%) per annum, payable monthly, for any unused capacity on this facility. At December 31, 2010, no balance was outstanding on this revolving note.
The Senior Secured Subordinated Note and the Junior Secured Subordinated Note each have an original principal amount of $9,500,000. Interest on the Senior Secured Subordinated Note is payable at: (i) 12% per annum in cash quarterly in arrears, and (ii) 2% per annum in-kind quarterly in arrears as an increase in principal. Interest on the Junior Secured Subordinated Note is payable at: (i) 12.5% per annum in cash quarterly in arrears and, (ii) 3.5% per annum in-kind quarterly in arrears as an increase in principal. The loan agreement does not allow any prepayments to the Junior Secured Subordinated Note until the Senior Secured Subordinated Note is paid in full. The loan agreement on these Notes was amended and restated on August 24, 2007 to align the related covenants with those on the Senior Secured Term Loans and the Senior Secured Revolving Note and to provide for an intercreditor agreement.

Note 7 - Debt (Continued)
All of the above debt is subject to various covenants including four primary financial covenants: (i) fixed charges to adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) coverage ratio; (ii) maximum senior debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio; (iii) maximum total debt to adjusted EBITDA; and (iv) maximum annual capital expenditures amount. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2010.
The aggregate amount of principal scheduled to be repaid in the years following December 31, 2010 is:
2011 | $ | 2,860,000 | ||
2012 | 10,980,000 | |||
2013 | 6,196,937 | |||
2014 | 10,212,483 | |||
2015 | 10,779,153 | |||
$ | 41,028,573 |
In addition, the Company has a standby letter of credit of $250,000 that expires on August 1, 2011.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $4,967,718, of which $578,663 was paid-in-kind. See Note 2 for subsequent events impacting this indebtedness.
Note 8 - Derivative Instruments
One of the Company’s debt covenants requires that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loans have interest rate protection for a period of not less than three years. Accordingly, the Company has in place an interest rate swap agreement, for a notional principal amount of $20,000,000 for three years and $15,000,000 for a fourth year. This swap agreement effectively converts the variable interest rate on that debt (as described in Note 7), for the notional principal amount, to a fixed interest rate of 8.8075%. The Company accounts for its swap agreement in accordance with accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities. This guidance requires companies to recognize its interest rate swaps as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. At December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a change to the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement of $567,666, less deferred taxes of $226,726, as other comprehensive income. The swap contains provisions whereby a downgrade in the credit standings of either parties could result in a requirement to settle the swap.

Note 10 - Stock-Based Compensation
On June 6, 2007, the Company’s shareholders adopted the triVIN Holdings, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which authorizes up to a maximum of 14,140,212 shares of Class A stock to be granted within the Plan, with no one individual permitted to receive more than 25% of those options. The Plan provides for the granting of awards to key employees, directors or consultants in the form of options to purchase capital stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines whom the awards shall be granted to, the number of shares and the terms of the option in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The options granted have a maximum term of ten years and vesting occurs depending on the type of option granted: immediate, five years or based upon the Company’s financial performance. For all options granted and currently outstanding, the option price is the fair value of the shares on their date of grant.
Prior to January 1, 2010, employees were granted 201,930 options which vested immediately of which, after forfeitures, 73,530 remain vested and 3,053,982 options which vest over a five-year period, of which 900,270 options had vested as of December 31, 2010. An additional 10,638,930 options were granted prior to January 1, 2010 that vest upon the Company meeting certain financial performance measures; 337,559 of those options have vested as of December 31, 2010.
To date, all grants of stock options have been made to employees of the Company and all have been non-qualified stock options. The fair value of each grant was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Based upon that model and the assumptions for each grant, the non-cash expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $171,483, and is recorded as part of compensation and benefits in the consolidated statement of operations.
