Board of Directors and Stockholders
PPL Management, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Eau Claire, Wisconsin
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PPL Management, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PPL Management, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PPL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007, AND 2006
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company’s Business and Operating Cycle
PPL Management, Inc. is the holding company for Precision Pipeline, LLC (Pipeline). Pipeline services the oil and gas industries which own and operate interstate and intrastate pipelines in the United States as both a general contractor and subcontractor. The Company constructs large and small diameter loop and lateral lines.
The length of the Company’s contracts varies, but is typically one to two years. Accordingly, assets to be realized and liabilities to be liquidated within the operating cycle are classified as current assets and liabilities.
Basis of Consolidation
In January 2008, PPL Management, Inc. acquired additional membership units of Precision Pipeline, LLC. After this acquisition PPL owned a controlling interest in Precision Pipeline, LLC (98%). Prior to 2008 PPL Management, Inc. was a variable interest entity of Precision Pipeline, LLC. The remaining two percent ownership is included in non-controlling interest in equity in the accompanying financial statements. The consolidated group included in the accompanying financial statements has not changed. The 2007 and 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to reflect this change in ownership for comparative purposes.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised FASB Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46R). FIN 46R requires certain variable interest entities (VIEs) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.
The consolidated financial statements include the statements of PPL Management, Inc. (PPL), Precision Pipeline, LLC (Pipeline) and two VIEs, Precision Transport, LLC (Transport), and Precision Land Company, LLC (Land), of which Pipeline is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances between Pipeline, Transport, Land, and PPL have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Noncontrolling interest represents Precision Transport, LLC, Precision Land Company, LLC and 2% of Precision Pipeline, LLC.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007, AND 2006
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues from fixed-price, modified fixed-price and unit price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, only after the contract attains a 10% completion stage, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost method, or ratably over the term of the project, depending upon the terms of the individual contract. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change.
Contract costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Operating expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revenues are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and subcontractors and may require surety bonds. Liens are filed, when permissible, on construction contracts where collection problems are anticipated. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, accounts receivable are due from gas and utility companies.
The Company’s cash balances are maintained in various bank deposit accounts. At various times during the year the balances in those accounts were in excess of those insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are securities held for cash management purposes having maturities of three months or less from date of purchase.

DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007, AND 2006
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Contracts Receivable
Contracts receivable from performing construction are based on contracted prices. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Normal contracts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Contract retentions are due 30 days after completion of the project and acceptance by the owner. Receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent.
Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer. There are no allowances for delinquent receivables at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Contract receivables from three customers in 2008 and two customers in 2007, represented approximately 70% and 86%, respectively, of total customer receivables for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No other customers represented greater than 10% of the total customer receivables in 2008 and 2007.
Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for joint ventures using the one-line equity method of accounting for equity in the joint venture and proportionate consolidation for revenues and expenses of the joint venture.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | |
Equipment | | 3-7 Years |
Vehicles | | 5 Years |
Office Equipment | | 5-7 Years |
Building | | 39 Years |
In 2008 and 2006 the Company transferred trailers and other transportation related vehicles from Precision Pipeline, LLC to Precision Transportation, LLC at their carrying cost.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. Certain long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Income Taxes
Pipeline, Transport, and Land are Wisconsin limited liability companies and are taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state regulations. As such, the companies do not pay federal or state income taxes on their taxable income. Instead, the members report on their personal income tax returns, the companies’ taxable income and tax credits.
The PPL Management has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar provisions of Wisconsin law, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income.
In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders include their respective shares of the Company’s taxable income and tax credits in their individual income tax returns.
The companies have committed to making distributions to the members and shareholders to offset income taxes incurred as a result of the pass through income.
The Company has elected to defer application of FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The Company follows Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies” for evaluating uncertain tax positions.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the current year presentation.
NOTE 2 CONTRACT CONCENTRATIONS

In December 2003, the FASB issued revised FASB Interpretation 46 (FIN 46R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46R requires that a company that holds a variable interest in an entity consolidate the entity if the company’s interest in the variable interest entity (VIE) is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receive a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, if they occur. In such cases, the company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosures about primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. As a result, the entities described below have been included in these financial statements.
Precision Transport, LLC is a transportation company that provides transportation services to Precision Pipeline, LLC. Precision Land Company, LLC was created to own the land and building that Precision Pipeline is using for its office and shop facilities. These two entities began operations in 2006. Precision Pipeline has guaranteed all of the financing of these entities and has the primary risk of loss related to these notes.
