REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Plan Administrator Corrpro Companies, Inc., 401(k) Savings Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan benefits of Corrpro Companies, Inc., 401(k) Savings Plan (Plan) as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statement of changes in assets available for plan benefits for the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in those assets for the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of March 31, 2004 and Schedule H, line 4a - Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions for the year ended March 31, 2004, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG LLP Cleveland, Ohio September 24, 2004 CORRPRO COMPANIES, INC. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS March 31, 2004 2003 ------------ ----------- ASSETS: Investments, at fair value (Note 2): Guaranteed investments $ 4,081,835 $ 4,185,233 Mutual funds 10,081,576 7,854,129 Corrpro Companies, Inc.

CORRPRO COMPANIES, INC. - ----------------------- 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN - ------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------- NOTE 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN: - ---------------------------------------- General - ------- The Corrpro Companies, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") was organized and adopted on April 1, 1984 and reinstated on April 1, 2002 by Corrpro Companies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Sponsor") to encourage employee savings and to provide retirement benefits to participants and/or their beneficiaries. It is administered by an advisory committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan's trustee (the "Trustee" or "Prudential") maintains all records of investment transactions and determines the valuation of the investment portfolio. The above description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. Contributions and Eligibility - ----------------------------- The Plan is a defined contribution plan and contains a 401(k) provision which permits employees to contribute elective deferrals of up to 75% of their eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Employees may make elective deferral contributions on the first day of the month following the completion of 90 days of service. The Plan also provides for an employer contribution to be determined solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the limitations prescribed by the Plan. For employer contributions, all employees are eligible to benefit beginning the first day of the month following the completion of 90 days of service. For the plan year 2004 and 2003, the Company amended the Plan and had suspended the Company match on the 401(k) elective deferrals by participants. With the consent of the Committee and Trustee, an employee may request that the Plan accept all or part of such employee's interest in another qualified plan or individual retirement account. Such rollover contributions are maintained and invested by the Trustee in a similar manner as other participant accounts. The Plan's provisions with respect to rollover contributions were designed to comply with the applicable sections of the Code. Forfeitures - ----------- Forfeitures of the non-vested portion of any Company's matching contributions are used to reduce future Company matching contributions or offset sponsor paid administrative expenses. The total amount of forfeitures that were used to offset Sponsor paid administrative expenses was $22,226 and $10,533 for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The forfeitures balance was $15,933 and $37,601 at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Vesting - ------- Participants are immediately vested in their elective deferral contributions and rollover contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Participant Direction of Investments - ------------------------------------ The Plan provides that each participant or beneficiary may direct the investment of their account balance among the following funds: Guaranteed Short-Term Securities Fund The Guaranteed Short-Term Securities Fund offers safety of principal and a guaranteed interest rate, through a portfolio of high quality money market instruments. Principal and interest are fully guaranteed against loss. The Fund seeks to maximize current income while maintaining a high degree of liquidity and safety of principal. The primary advantage of this Fund is its attractive, short-term interest rate that is current with the general changes in short-term market interest rates. Guaranteed Income Fund The Guaranteed Income Fund is invested primarily in commercial mortgages and private bond placements. This fund has a full guarantee by CIGNA against loss of principal and credited interest. This interest rate is periodically reviewed and revised to reflect current investment conditions. Lifetime 20, 30, 40, 50 & 60 Funds ("CIGNA LIFETIME FUNDS") The "CIGNA LIFETIME FUNDS" are a family of five distinct investment portfolios structured to maximize return and minimize risk over a specific time period based on the participant's approximate age. Each fund is primarily invested in a diversified mix of stock and bond funds, designed to fit the time horizons and risk tolerances of investors at different stages of their lives. Fidelity Growth & Income Fund The Fidelity Growth & Income Fund is invested in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed-income securities. Vanguard Wellington Fund The Vanguard Wellington Fund is invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and bonds designed primarily to seek a conservation of principal and a reasonable income return. Fidelity Magellan Fund The Fidelity Magellan is invested primarily in common stock and securities convertible into common stocks of both domestic, multinational and foreign companies. Current income is not a consideration. American Century Ultra Fund The American Century Ultra Fund is invested primarily in common stocks of medium-sized companies that meet certain technical and fundamental criteria. Credit Suisse Emerging Growth Fund The Credit Suisse Emerging Growth Fund is invested primarily in common stocks and securities of small-to medium-sized companies for capital growth. Current income is not a consideration. Credit Suisse International Equity Fund The Credit Suisse International Equity Fund is invested primarily in common stocks of companies that are generally non-U.S. based. Current income is not a consideration. Corrpro Companies, Inc. Common Stock The Corrpro Companies, Inc. Common Stock Fund is invested only in common stock of the Company. Currently, participating employees can elect to have their current contributions invested in any of the funds available for employee contributions, or in any combination of these funds on a daily basis in one percent increments. Participating employees may also transfer amounts invested in any fund made available for employee contributions on a daily basis in one percent increments. Participant Accounts - -------------------- A separate account is maintained for each participant in the Plan, reflecting contributions, investments, investment gains and losses, distributions, loans, withdrawals and transfers. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's elective deferral contribution and an allocation of (a) the employer contributions, (b) plan earnings, and (c) forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested accounts. Allocations are based on participants' account balances, as defined in the Plan. Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and market value changes of investments and investment income of the Plan are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the accounts of participants on a daily basis. Plan Withdrawals and Distributions - ---------------------------------- Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, an employee may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her account or annual installments upon approval by the Trustee. All withdrawals and disbursements are subject to federal income tax upon receipt. In situations of severe financial hardship, a participant may apply in writing to the Committee for the distribution of his or her vested account balance. Such hardship withdrawals may result in tax consequences to the employee as defined in the Code. Termination Provisions - ---------------------- The Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: - ---------------------------------------- Basis of Accounting - ------------------- The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Payment of Benefits - ------------------- Benefits are recorded when paid. 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 and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments - ----------- Prudential maintains all records of investment transactions and determines the valuation of the investment portfolio. Information with respect to: (1) investments held and their market values as presented in the statements of net assets available for benefits and (2) unrealized appreciation and depreciation as presented in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits has been certified by the Plan's trustee as being complete and accurate. The Plan's investments in mutual funds and Corrpro Stock are stated at fair value and participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. The Plan had a guaranteed principal and interest contract, Guaranteed Income Fund, with Prudential. This contract is included in the financial statements at contract value because it is fully benefit-responsive. Contract value, which approximates fair value, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals and administrative expenses. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The average yield and crediting interest rates were approximately 2.65% for 2004 and 2003. Security Transactions and Investment Income - ------------------------------------------- Purchases and sales of securities are reported on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Proceeds from sales of securities, less market value at the beginning of the Plan year or cost for purchases during the Plan year and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on market price fluctuations during the Plan year or since date of acquisition, are included in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits. Plan Expenses - ------------- Fees for legal counsel and auditors of the Plan are paid by the Company and thus are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Costs specific to various transactions are paid directly by the Plan and are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
