Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
MPBP Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MPBP Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MPBP Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As more fully described in Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, MPBP Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries incurred $46,259,000 and $160,885,000 of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges during the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which, net of income tax effects, results of operations and other items, generated a net stockholders’ deficiency as of March 31, 2010.
As more fully described in Note 15, negotiations are taking place that could result in a change of ownership and settlement of existing debt. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for the carrying values of assets, liabilities or stockholders’ deficiency that would be affected by such a transaction.

MPBP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010, 2009 AND 2008
(in thousands)
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
MPBP Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MPBP”), was formed in January 2007. The principal operating subsidiaries of MPBP are Cohr Inc. dba Masterplan (“Masterplan”) and ReMedPar, Inc. (“ReMedPar”), Delaware corporations, and Medical Equipment Solutions and Applications SAGL (“MESA”), a Swiss limited liability company formed in December 2009. These wholly-owned entities are altogether referred to as the “Company” herein. Masterplan, ReMedPar and MESA are the Company’s three reporting units.
The Company services and maintains medical equipment under contracts or on a time and materials basis throughout the United States and, since January 2010, in Europe. Additionally, the Company sells and installs diagnostic imaging equipment and remanufactures and distributes replacement parts for diagnostic imaging equipment principally in the United States. As of and for the year ended March 31, 2010, European operations and assets represent approximately 1% of consolidated operations.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Presentation – Management is responsible for evaluating the effects of events occurring after March 31, 2010 upon these consolidated financial statements. See Note 15.
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of MPBP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments –The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s consolidated operations except for its MESA subsidiary, which uses the Euro as its functional currency. MESA assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based upon the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. MESA revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average rates for the period presented. Translation adjustments have no effect on net income and are included as the only item in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.
Revenue Recognition – Service revenue is principally generated from equipment maintenance contracts. Service revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period, which can extend from one to five years. Billings to certain service customers may be adjusted pursuant to contractual performance guarantees. Losses, if any, on service contracts are recorded when known. Equipment sale and parts revenue is generally recognized upon shipment from Company premises or upon direct shipment from vendors to customers. ReMedPar occasionally bills and holds at its facility certain products sold to customers at those customers’ explicit direction. In each instance wherein revenue is recognized in advance of
7
shipment, management determines that ownership has fully transferred to the customer and no deferral of revenue recognition is warranted. Installation revenue is generally recognized upon customer acceptance of installation. When equipment sale and installation services are combined, management allocates and recognizes the revenue based upon the discrete and separable terms of the transaction. Other operating revenues are recognized when services are performed.
Revenue is recognized net of sales and similar transactional taxes. Such taxes aggregated $2,294, $3,194 and $4,121 for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company occasionally includes cash incentives in service and equipment sale contracts with customers. During the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 payments aggregating $503, $386 and $554, respectively, were made to customers under such rebate arrangements. See Note 9.
During the year ended March 31, 2009 Masterplan accelerated by one month its contractual billing arrangements with customers. The accelerated billings for each month are deferred, and revenue is recognized in the subsequent month when billed contracted services are performed.
Direct Operating Expenses – Equipment maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Certain maintenance services are outsourced to third parties principally on a time and materials basis. Warranty costs on equipment and parts sales are estimated based upon prior experience and accrued at the time of sale. Through March 31, 2010 actual warranty costs have been immaterial. Other direct operating costs, including shipping and handling, are expensed in the period services are rendered or parts are shipped to customers.
Income Taxes – Income tax amounts are recognized using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Interest and penalties, if any, owed to taxing authorities are accrued in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, $124, $0 and $4 of such interest and penalties were accrued, and $110 and $0 was included in income taxes payable as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Tax benefits from any uncertain tax positions are recognized as reductions of income tax expense when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the positions, that the positions will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. Additionally, the amount of the tax benefits to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlements with the taxing authorities.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Accounts receivable are unsecured and, accordingly, are stated at net estimated collectible amounts. Accounts receivable are due principally from hospital chains and hospitals in the United States. Management monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and provides allowances for doubtful accounts when considered appropriate. Payment is due when the services begin, and considered past due one month thereafter. Upon exhaustion of collection efforts, uncollected receivables are written off against the allowances.
Additionally, management evaluates the creditworthiness of the financial institutions in which it invests its idle cash. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, cash account balances at financial institutions exceeded the federally insured limits by $3,368 and $3,392, respectively.
8
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments maturing within three months after purchase.
Financial Instruments – The Company is exposed to fluctuations of interest rates and foreign currency translation rates. Management addresses certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that may include the use of derivative instruments. The types of derivative instruments permitted for such risk management are specified in policies set by management.
In 2007 the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to reduce interest rate risks and to modify the interest rate characteristics of its outstanding debt. The swap contract expired in February 2010. An affiliate of the Company’s first lien lender was counterparty to the swap contract. Through February 2010 the Company recognized the swap contract as a derivative on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company may designate the derivative as either a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid or not. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets all of the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The Company did not designate the derivative as a hedge. A change in the fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge is recognized as a non-operating item in the statement of operations.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, borrowings under secured line of credit arrangements, payables and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values at March 31, 2010 due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 7 for discussion of the fair value of the Company’s debt.
Inventories – Inventories, primarily consisting of medical equipment and parts, are stated at the lower of specific cost, on an average cost basis, or market (net realizable value). In most instances specific cost includes the purchase price and all other costs incurred in restoring the inventory item to a saleable condition.
Property and Equipment – Property and equipment is recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is recorded using the straight-line method with no residual value and over the following useful lives:
Computer equipment – 3 years
Computer software – 2 to 7 years
Technical equipment – 5 years
Furniture and fixtures – 7 years
Leasehold improvements – shorter of 10 years or remaining term of lease
Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually as of September 30.Management evaluates the recoverability of investments in long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and recognizes any impairment in the year of determination. The significant estimates and assumptions used by management in assessing the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets include present value discount rates, fair value estimates for other assets and liabilities, and comparable business financial performance multiples (only for goodwill), future revenues and cash flows, future rates of customer contract renewal and other factors. Any change in these estimates or assumptions could result in an impairment charge. The estimates, based upon management’s reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management’s subjective judgment. Evaluations of long-lived assets can vary within a range of outcomes depending upon the assumptions and projections used.
9
The future occurrence of a potential indicator of impairment would require an interim assessment for either or both of the Masterplan and ReMedPar reporting units prior to the scheduled annual tests. Examples of such potential indicators include a significant adverse change in business climate, unanticipated competition, a material negative change in relationships with significant customers, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, a strategic decision made in response to economic or competitive conditions, the loss of key personnel, or a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of.
Goodwill and trademarks are not amortized as their lives are considered to be indefinite.Other intangible assets are amortized using the following estimated useful lives and methods with no residual value:
Estimated Useful Lives | Method | |||
| Customer contracts and relationships | 7 years | Declining balance | ||
| Internally-created computer software | 3 years | Straight-line | ||
| Non-competition agreements | 2 years | Straight-line |
As of March 31, 2010 the weighted average period prior to the next renewal or extension of Masterplan’s major customer contracts was 3 years. ReMedPar customers contract via purchase order, so there is a nominal contractual duration, generally less than 3 months including the customers’ returns of exchanged parts. Costs incurred to renew customer contracts for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were nominal. During the year ended March 31, 2010, management determined that the remaining estimated useful lives of all customer contracts and relationships assets would be shortened from 10 to 7 years. During the year ended March 31, 2009, management determined that the remaining estimated useful lives of all customer contracts and relationships assets would be shortened from 20 to 10 years. For the year ended March 31, 2008, customer contracts and relationships were amortized using a declining-balance method over 20 year estimated useful lives.
Share-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes in selling, general and administrative expenses and as adjustments to additional paid-in capital the current period effects of awards of stock or options in exchange for goods or services benefiting the Company. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate fair market values of stock options on the dates of grant.
New Accounting Standards Updates –In December 2010 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28, pursuant to which certain reporting units’ goodwill impairments may be reported earlier than under current standards. Management expects to implement this standard on April 1, 2011. Management is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, which establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the Company performs multiple revenue-generating activities, including how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The Company implemented this standard on April 1, 2010. Management has determined that the financial statement impact will be minimal, although disclosures will be enhanced.
10
3. Operational and Financing Issues
During the year ended March 31, 2008 Masterplan’s largest customer gave notice of its intent to seek competitive bids for maintenance services. Management determined that there was no impairment to either the customer contracts and relationships intangible asset or to goodwill through March 31, 2008. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the customer declined to accept Masterplan’s bid to continue. Masterplan’s services to that customer are included in results of operations for the first five months of the year ended March 31, 2009. ReMedPar’s largest customer cancelled its existing purchase orders during the year ended March 31, 2009. During the year ended March 31, 2010, a large customer of Masterplan sought competitive bids for maintenance services, and subsequently declined Masterplan’s bid to continue. Masterplan’s services to that customer are included in results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2010. ReMedPar’s revenues for the year ended March 31, 2010 were less than management had previously estimated.
Management determined that impairment events had occurred at the Masterplan and ReMedPar reporting units and recognized the following non-cash impairment charges in the Company’s March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 consolidated results of operations:
| March 31, 2010 | March 31, 2009 | |||||||||
Masterplan: | Goodwill | $ | 28,865 | $ | 126,719 | |||||
Trademark | 800 | 7,700 | ||||||||
Customer contracts and relationships | 10,206 | 25,836 | ||||||||
| 39,871 | 160,255 | |||||||||
ReMedPar: | Goodwill | 6,388 | — | |||||||
Trademark | — | 630 | ||||||||
| 6,388 | 630 | |||||||||
Total | 46,259 | 160,885 | ||||||||
Deferred income tax benefit | (6,254 | ) | (13,195 | ) | ||||||
Impairments, net | $ | 40,005 | $ | 147,690 | ||||||
See Note 4 for the impacts of these impairments upon the long-term assets’ carrying values.
During the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 management took actions to replace lost revenues and to reduce costs, including terminating direct and indirect staff, suspending employer matching retirement plan contributions, curtailing outside purchased services, and downsizing and moving its corporate offices. The Company’s board of directors also hired two new Chief Executive Officers for Company subsidiaries during the year ended March 31, 2009.
As a result of the effect of recognized impairments on the Company’s stockholders’ equity, it would be difficult for the Company to draw on its line of credit or obtain incremental term loans from its lending syndicate without violating a debt covenant (see Note 7). The Company’s future cash flows could be adversely affected should any major hospital group cancel their contract with Masterplan, customers fail to continue payment to the Company in a timely manner, or interest rates under variable-rate borrowings increase significantly. Management has instituted revenue growth and cost reduction actions and has adopted contingency plans to further reduce its cost infrastructure should any further adverse cash flow
11
events occur. Management is satisfied that the execution of these actions and plans will provide sufficient cash flows if the previously described adverse cash flow events do occur.
Management believes that its actions and alternative courses of action will permit the Company to meet its business objectives and fulfill its anticipated current obligations.
4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
During the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 several impairment events were identified by management. As a result of management’s assessments, impairment charges aggregating $46,259 and $160,885, respectively, were recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3.

7. Financial Obligations
The Company’s subsidiaries are obligated under a first lien term loan credit facility to a syndicated group of institutional lenders. The loan balances outstanding as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $135,800 and $137,200, respectively. Interest on the first lien term loan has been calculated using a selected Eurodollar rate (0.25% at March 31, 2010) plus 2.50%, and is payable at least quarterly. The subsidiaries have not used a prime rate-based interest calculation option available to them. The subsidiaries originally capitalized $3,884 of deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These and other deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the duration of the term loan. During the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, interest expense of $4,024, $6,705 and $12,316, respectively, was incurred pursuant to the first lien term loan credit facility. First lien term loan principal payments of $350 are due quarterly. Additional principal payments are required annually if consolidated cash flows exceed certain minimum thresholds.
The subsidiaries have a $20,000 secured revolving credit facility from the same syndicated group of institutional lenders. Advances may take the form of cash or draws pursuant to letters of credit. Interest on revolving loan advances is calculated at either the prime rate plus 1% to 1.50% or a selected Eurodollar rate plus 2% to 2.50%, and is payable at least quarterly. The subsidiaries pay the institutional lender a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.375% per year of the unborrowed commitment. During the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, commitment and other fees included in interest expense aggregated $101, $105 and $75, respectively. Since March 31, 2008, the subsidiaries’ secured revolving credit facility has not been available due to a financial ratio covenant that would be violated if advances were obtained. During the year ended March 31, 2008, interest expense of $129 (at an average annual rate of 9.8%) was incurred pursuant to the secured revolving credit facility. No advances or letters of credit were outstanding on March 31, 2010 or March 31, 2009.
The first lien term loan credit facility and the secured revolving credit facility expire in 2013. Loans are secured by first priority liens and security interests in all of the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries, by all of their assets, and by a guarantee of MPBP. The Company must adhere to various loan covenants including financial performance covenants. Covenants limit other debt arrangements, sales of assets, investments, capital expenditures and cash dividends. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants.
The subsidiaries are obligated under a $32,000 second lien term loan credit facility to a financial institution. Interest has been calculated using a selected Eurodollar rate (0.23% at March 31, 2010) plus 6.25% and is payable at least quarterly. The subsidiaries have not used a prime rate-based interest calculation option available to them. The subsidiaries paid $420 in loan origination costs, which are capitalized as deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the duration of the second lien term loan. Additionally, the subsidiaries pay the lender an annual fee of $50. During the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, interest expense of $2,220, $2,981 and $3,740, respectively, was incurred pursuant to the second lien term loan credit facility. This financial institution also owns a minor stock interest in MPBP.
The second lien term loan credit facility expires in 2014. No principal payments are required prior to maturity. The second lien term loan is secured by second priority liens and security interests in all of the common stock of the Company’s subsidiaries, by all of their assets, and by a guarantee of MPBP. The Company must adhere to various loan covenants including financial performance covenants. Covenants
15
limit other debt arrangements, sales of assets, investments, capital expenditures and cash dividends. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants.
The first and second lien term loans are scheduled to be repaid as follows:
Fiscal Year Ending | Scheduled Amount | |||
March 31, 2011 | $ | 1,400 | ||
March 31, 2012 | 1,400 | |||
March 31, 2013 | 133,000 | |||

Total due | 167,800 | |||
Less current portion | (1,400 | ) | ||
Non-current portion | $ | 166,400 | ||
The estimated fair values of the first and second lien term loans total $84,900 at March 31, 2010. Management has estimated these fair values based upon a limited number of transactions occurring in the secondary syndicated debt market (deemed to be a Level 2 assessment pursuant to FASB Statement No. 157) and assumed transfers of certain of the liabilities to a theoretical market participant (deemed to be a Level 3 assessment). The latter estimate includes management’s assessment of the Company’s non-performance risk and other factors.
Through February 2010 the Company had a fixed income derivative instrument with an affiliate of its first lien term loan credit facility agent. The derivative was designed to manage the Company’s risk relating to floating rate interest on its first lien term loan credit facility. It established minimum and maximum ranges of net interest expense on $100,000 of the Company’s total indebtedness. The instrument was not designated by management as a cash flow hedge. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, $0 and $2,329 of fair values, respectively, were attributed to the derivative instrument and included in consolidated current liabilities. Changes in fair value were charged or credited as non-operating items in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The derivative’s fair value was estimated using a market-based interest swap valuation model (deemed to be a Level 3 assessment).

Current period operating effects of these transactions are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Several executives of the Company own minor stock interests in MPBP.
Stock-Based Incentive Plan
Employees of the Company and others are eligible to participate in an equity incentive plan. An aggregate of 188,824 shares of authorized MPBP common stock are reserved for possible future issuance upon exercise of awards under the plan. As of March 31, 2010, MPBP had 102,154 shares of its common stock available for possible future grant under its plan.
All options granted to Company employees have $100 per MPBP common share exercise prices, ten-year terms, and vesting arrangements based upon either (a) 20% annual vesting requisite service requirements or (b) performance parameters linked to the internal rate of return which the principal shareholders of MPBP attain on their investment in the Company. Grantees received half of their awards with requisite service vesting terms and half with performance vesting terms.
Factors used in establishing the fair market value of the option grants include expectations of performance parameters not being fully met and, at grant date, fair values based upon the Black-Scholes model using MPBP stock price volatility of 60% (measured using an average of quoted stock prices of a group of five peer public companies), risk-free interest rates equal to five year U.S. treasury bill auction rates at the grant
19
dates (ranging from 3.05% to 3.17%), 3% annual forfeiture rates and five year expected option lives. For the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, it was determined that no performance options would vest.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases its corporate offices and a subsidiary warehouse and office facility under operating leases that expire from May 2010 through May 2012. The leases also provide for payments of the Company’s share of common area operating expenses. The Company also utilizes various property and equipment under operating leases.
At March 31, 2010, future minimum rental payments under operating lease agreements that expire after March 31, 2010 are as follows:
Fiscal Year Ending | Amounts | |||
March 31, 2011 | $ | 838 | ||

From time to time the Company is involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of its business. During the year ended March 31, 2010 the Company settled most aspects of one matter by agreeing with the claimant to a monthly payment arrangement extending through the year ending March 31, 2011. The $645 settlement is included in accrued expenses as of March 31, 2010. An additional $121 was settled after March 31, 2010, but the liability was not determined and therefore not accrued as of March 31, 2010. The Company also has received claims involving employment matters claiming discrimination and unpaid compensation. These matters have been referred to the Company’s insurance carriers for defense. Several matters seek damages, including punitive damages, which may not be insured. These matters are in preliminary stages and the outcomes are not predictable. Management believes that its insurance coverage is sufficient, has accrued no loss provision in addition to the settlement noted above, and does not believe that the legal proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
12. Benefit Plans
Masterplan maintains a voluntary defined contribution 401(k) plan. Participation in the plan is available to all Masterplan employees after 90 days employment.

The various entities within the Company have a tax-allocation agreement.
At March 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $26,000 for federal income tax reporting purposes and $8,000 for various state income tax reporting purposes. Should there be a change of ownership (see Note 15), there will be limits on the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards to
23
offset taxable income. As of March 31, 2010, the valuation allowance does not take into account such a change of ownership.
