We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global Fax, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 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.

GLOBAL FAX, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005
(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  (a)   Description of Business
 
      Global Fax, LLC (the Company) provides back-office services to customers. Services primarily include scanning documents, reception of faxed forms and documents, and the conversion of the information received into data files for customers. These data files, which are archived by the Company, are then exported to the Company’s customers. Customers receive data in their desired format without the need for internal processing of data by their personnel. The customers also receive additional customization for improved efficiency in their communication and data processing efforts.
 
      The Company was formed as a Michigan limited liability company (LLC) on November 1, 1995. Prior to that time, the Company had elected to be treated as an S corporation (effective in 1993). Under the terms of the LLC Members’ Agreement, the Company shall continue in existence indefinitely. The Members’ Agreement further states that members shall not be liable for the acts, debts, or liabilities of the Company unless otherwise provided by law or expressly assumed.
 
  (b)   Principles of Consolidation
 
      The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Global Fax, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Data Solutions Ohio. As of December 31, 2004, the Company included the financial statements of its 99%-owned subsidiary in Mexico, Global Data Solutions. The Company ceased operations of this subsidiary in December 2004 and finalized the liquidation of this subsidiary during 2005. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  (c)   Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
      The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
  (d)   Investment Securities
 
      Investment securities at December 31, 2005 consist of auction rate securities (specifically municipal auction rate preferred shares). The Company classifies its investment securities as available for sale. The fair value of the investment securities as of December 31, 2005 approximates the carrying value. Realized gains included in interest income in 2005 were $7,409, and unrealized gains at December 31, 2005 were immaterial.
 
  (e)   Trade Accounts Receivable
 
      Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Based on analysis of accounts receivable at December 31, 2005, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2005 is not deemed necessary. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005
  (f)   Property and Equipment
 
      Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (two to seven years).
 
      Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.
 
  (g)   Revenue Recognition
 
      The Company calculates the amount of revenue to be recognized based on the volume of documents processed for each customer. Each customer is under a contract with the Company whereby the number of documents processed is multiplied by a fixed rate as specified in the contract. The Company recognizes revenue when transmission to the customer has occurred and collection of the relevant receivable is probable.
 
  (h)   Income Taxes
 
      The Company is not subject to federal income taxes as an LLC. Instead, income and losses of the Company pass through to its individual members, thus making the members liable for federal taxes, if any. The Company calculates a state income tax provision for those states in which it operates that do not recognize the LLC status. For the year ended December 31, 2005, state income tax expense in the amount of $92,141 has been included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
 
      The net difference between the tax basis and the reported amounts of the company’s assets and liabilities primarily relate to tangible and intangible assets and associated net book balances exceeded net tax balances by approximately $280,000 as of December 31, 2005.
 
  (i)   Use of Estimates
 
      The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment and the valuation allowance for accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
