INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders of
Multimodal Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Multimodal Technologies, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, equity and comprehensive income, 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 audits 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 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 Multimodal Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Multimodal Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of business
Multimodal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Pennsylvania on October 11, 2001. The Company is engaged in the development and commercialization of speech recognition processes and technologies. The Company's speech understanding software automatically encodes clinical facts in real‑time, translating the physician’s dictation into a rich blend of clinical reasoning and structured data – a meaningful clinical document. Meaningful clinical documents are based on HL7’s Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) standards. When created and shared, they provide an effective way to populate Electronic Health Record/Electronic Medical Record (EHR/EMR) systems or specialty information systems, such as radiology, pathology and emergency department, with structured, interoperable clinical documentation. The Company has acquired patents and will file additional patent applications to protect this intellectual property.
2. Significant accounting policies
Use of Estimates and Assumptions in the Preparation of Financial Statements
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 amounts reported in the financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, valuation of long‑lived and intangible assets, valuation allowances for receivables, deferred income taxes, revenue recognition and share‑based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues come primarily from software licensing and related services. Revenues from software licenses include all fees earned from granting customers the right to use the software. For software licensing arrangements that do not require significant customization, revenues are recognized when: 1) there is a binding arrangement with the customer, 2) the products are delivered, 3) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of significant uncertainties or contingencies, and 4) collection is probable. Substantially all new software license revenues are recognized in this manner.
Many of the Company’s revenue arrangements include multiple elements. Initialization fees are payable upon or within the first six to nine months after the effective date of license agreements and cover configuration, training and enrollment of dictating physicians. Initialization fees are deferred upon receipt and are recognized into revenue over the initialization period, which ranges from six to nine months. Production license fees are calculated based on the peak load designated by the customer and the number of minutes processed. Production license fees are recognized monthly. Maintenance and support fees are waived during the initialization period and are charged at then‑current rates thereafter. Maintenance and support revenues are recognized when the services are performed.
The Company’s license agreements vary in term and generally are able to be terminated by the customer with sixty days’ notice prior to the beginning of a renewal term. Due to the unique and separable nature of each deliverable provided under the Company’s license agreements, the Company uses the relative fair value method to allocate the selling price, as separate units of accounting, to the production license fees and to the performance of integration and maintenance services. Moreover, multiple contracts with a single customer are accounted for as separate arrangements.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, using statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Share‑Based Compensation
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted in 2010 using an independent professional valuation and in 2009 using the Two‑Stage FCFF Discount Model. The value of the
portion of awards that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service periods.
Share‑based compensation expense related to stock options for 2010 and 2009 was $‑ and $592,848, respectively.
Net Income per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, as adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options which may be settled by the Company through the issuance of shares using the treasury stock method. The table below reflects basic and diluted net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
|
| | | | | | | |
| 2010 | | 2009 |
| | | |
Net income available for common shareholders | $ | 4,259,933 |
| | $ | 1,399,087 |
|
| | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding: | | | |
Basic | 231,636 |
| | 221,399 |
|
Effect of dilutive stock | 4,408 |
| | 2,468 |
|
| | | |
Diluted | 236,044 |
| | 223,867 |
|
| | | |
Potentially dilutive shares having an anti‑dilutive effect on net income per share, and, therefore, excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, totaled 10,785 and 4,550 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $992,423 and $843,013, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Consequently, the Company’s cash equivalents are subject to potential credit risk. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash equivalents consisted of money market investments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Investments in Marketable Securities
Investments in marketable securities are classified as available‑for‑sale and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Marketable securities consist of municipal bond‑based mutual funds. As of December 31, 2010, the total cost basis of the securities was $1,055,663. The cost of investments sold is determined using the specific identification method.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates fair value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is management's best estimate for losses inherent in the Company's accounts receivable portfolio.
Management estimates uncollectible amounts based upon the Company's historical write‑off experience, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition and current economic conditions. Historically, these estimates have been adequate to cover the Company's accounts receivable exposure. The Company changes the allowance if circumstances or economic conditions change.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to seven years for furniture, equipment and software, and the lesser of the lease term or estimated useful life for leasehold improvements. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred while additions and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on disposals are charged to operations. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes internally generated software development costs after technological feasibility has been established and amortizes the costs over an estimated useful life of five years. Capitalization ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. There were no software development costs qualifying for capitalization during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Prior capitalized software development costs were fully amortized at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Amortization expense was $50,755 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Long‑Lived and Other Intangible Assets
Long‑lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To determine the recoverability of long‑lived assets, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset is compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long‑lived asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Management evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets annually.
Intangible assets patented technology, unpatented technology and trade secrets, and databases. Patents are being amortized using the straight‑line method through their expiration dates.
Other Assets
Other assets consist of patent development costs, which will be amortized over the lives of the related patents, when awarded, or written off if not awarded.
Foreign Currency
Net gain from foreign currency transactions was $3,488 for the year ended December 31, 2010, and net loss from foreign currency transactions was $9,115 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Foreign currency gains and losses are included as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations.
Business Enterprise Segments
The Company operates in one reportable segment, which is speech recognition software for the healthcare industry.
Concentrations of Risk, Geographic Data and Enterprise‑wide Disclosures
Three customers accounted for 59% and 69% of the Company's net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These customers accounted for $1,779,807 and $898,808 of the Company's accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2009, one of these customers was AMI, a related party domiciled in Japan.
The following table summarizes revenues by the categories of the Company's services as a percentage of total net revenues:

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, all long‑lived assets of the Company were located in the United States.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, related party receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets at carrying values which approximate fair value.
The Company's assets measured at fair value consist of investments in marketable securities. The valuation methodology used to measure the fair value of these funds is the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held at year‑end, which is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy established by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements. There have been no changes to the methodology used at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The method described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized holding gains on investments in marketable securities. Other comprehensive income and comprehensive income are displayed separately in the statements of equity and comprehensive income.
Operating Lease
Rent expense on the Company's operating lease for office space is charged to expense over the lease term. The operating lease agreement provides for scheduled rent increases over the lease term. Rent expense is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the lease term.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2009, the FASB ratified two consensuses affecting revenue recognition:
The first consensus, Revenue Recognition ‑ Multiple‑Element Arrangements, sets forth requirements that must be met for an entity to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple‑element arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered. One of those current requirements is that there be objective and reliable evidence of the standalone selling price of the undelivered items, which must be supported by either vendor‑specific objective evidence (VSOE) or third‑party evidence (TPE).
This consensus eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements have VSOE or TPE before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple‑element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling
prices, regardless of whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entity’s estimated selling price. Application of the “residual method” of allocating an overall arrangement fee between delivered and undelivered elements will no longer be permitted.
The second consensus, Software ‑ Revenue Recognition, addresses the accounting for transactions involving software to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non‑software and not‑software components that function together to deliver a product's functionality.
The consensuses are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The standards were adopted in the first quarter of 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

6. Intangible assets
The Company reviews its long‑lived assets for impairment when events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When the Company determines that one or more impairment indicators are present for an asset, it compares the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate, it compares the fair value to the book value of the asset. If the fair value is less than the book value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. The impairment loss is the excess of the carrying
amount of the asset over its fair value.
Some of the events that the Company considers as impairment indicators for its long‑lived assets are:
‑ net book value compared to fair value;
‑ significant adverse economic and industry trends;
‑ significant decrease in the market value of the assets;
‑ the extent that the Company uses an asset or changes in the manner that it uses it; and
‑ significant changes to the asset since acquired
During 2010 and 2009, the Company reviewed the carrying value of its long‑lived assets and determined that the carrying amounts of such assets was less than the undiscounted cash flows and, accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, intangible asset balances were:

In November 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, to grant stock‑based incentives to key employees and other related parties. The Plan provides for both qualified incentive stock options (ISO's), as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and nonqualified stock options. A total of 14,000 shares of the Class B Non‑Voting Common Stock were authorized for grants under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. In April 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. This Plan, which is substantially similar to the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, authorizes an additional 16,000 shares of the Class B Non‑Voting Common Stock for grants. The ISO's are exercisable at a price not less than the fair market value (110% of fair market value for participants holding more than 10% of the voting stock, as defined) on the date of the grant. The options carry exercise prices, vesting provisions and expiration terms, as defined by their respective agreements.

Acquisition of Telegentis NV
Effective June 27, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Telegentis NV ("Telegentis"), a Belgian limited liability company, to expand geographic presence of the Company. The Company accounted for the transaction as a purchase and, accordingly, allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The fair value of experienced management, which was one of the key drivers for the acquisition, was not separately recognized and has been included in the value of goodwill.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
|
| | | |
Cash | $ | 99,675 |
|
Accounts receivable | 83,124 |
|
Other current assets | 1,348 |
|
Goodwill | 1,939,012 |
|
| |
Total assets | 2,123,159 |
|
| |
Accounts payable | 905,226 |
|
| |
Purchase price | $ | 1,217,933 |
|
The purchase price was financed with accrued payables due to the former shareholders of Telegentis of $1,164,708 and outstanding notes receivable from Telegentis of $53,225. The Company expects to satisfy the accrued payables to the former shareholders of Telegentis in the third quarter of 2011. Acquisition costs of $374,030 were charged to fiscal 2011 operating expenses. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.
Telegentis was incorporated on July 23, 2009 and was still considered to be in the development stage at December 31, 2010, as the planned principal operations had not yet produced revenues. The net loss of Telegentis for the period from July 23, 2009 to December 31, 2010 was $1,808,188.
Sale of the Company
On August 18, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), the Company was acquired by MedQuist Holdings Inc. ("MedQuist") through a series of mergers between the Company and direct, wholly‑owned subsidiaries of MedQuist. As a result of the merger, the Company became a direct, wholly‑owned subsidiary of MedQuist. On the Closing Date, MedQuist paid an aggregate of approximately $49.0 million in cash to the Company's shareholders, optionholders and other third parties and issued an aggregate of 4,134,896 shares of the its common stock (the “Shares”) to the Company's shareholders who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Accredited Investors”). 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.
In connection with the merger with MedQuist, the Company declared dividends of approximately $5.3 million. Also, coincident with the merger, various options to purchase stock of the Company were redeemed for approximately $5.8 million.

In connection with the merger and on the Closing Date, the Accredited Investors and MedQuist entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). The Stockholders’ Agreement provides for, among other things, certain registration rights and trading restrictions for the Accredited Investors. With respect to the registration rights, MedQuist will register the Shares for resale on a “shelf” registration statement no later than April 2012 and the Accredited Investors have “piggyback” registration rights to participate in certain public offerings of the MedQuist’s common stock. With respect to the restrictions on trading, those Accredited Investors that were not employees of the Company as of the Closing Date are prohibited from selling (i) 75% of the Shares received by such persons in the merger during the period beginning on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending immediately prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) 25% of the Shares received by such persons in the merger during the period beginning on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and ending immediately prior to the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date. In addition, three Accredited Investors are restricted, in general, to selling Shares equal to no more than 20% of the average daily trading volume of MedQuist’s common stock in any given day during the period beginning on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date.
