EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited)
 
(1)              Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
 
ExamWorks Group, Inc. (‘ExamWorks” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of independent medical examinations (“IMEs”), peer and bill reviews and related services (“IME services” or the “IME industry”). ExamWorks, Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 27, 2007. In 2008, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired three companies operating in the IME industry. In 2009, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired 11 other IME companies, including a provider of software solutions to the IME industry. In 2010, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired 14 additional IME companies. In 2011, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired nine additional IME companies.  In 2012, ExamWorks, Inc. acquired three additional IME companies. To date, the Company has acquired 40 IME companies. As of March 31, 2013, ExamWorks, Inc. operates out of 57 service centers serving all 50 United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. In June 2010, ExamWorks, Inc. effected a corporate reorganization creating a holding company, ExamWorks Group, Inc., with ExamWorks, Inc. becoming a 100% owned subsidiary of ExamWorks Group, Inc. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of 9.3 million shares of common stock. 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2013 and for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have not been audited by its independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the Company's most recent fiscal year. The Company's December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the aforementioned Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ExamWorks and its 100% owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(a)              Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on certain assumptions which they believe are reasonable in the circumstances and actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates reflected in these consolidated financial statements include the valuation of equity issued prior to the Company’s IPO, purchase price allocations, useful lives of intangible assets, potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the portion of accounts receivable deemed to be long term in nature, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the valuation of share-based compensation and derivative instruments.

(b)               Foreign Currencies

Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) and are reported net of the effect of income taxes on the consolidated financial statements.

(c)               Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited)
 
(d)               Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Accounts receivable consist of amounts owed to the Company for services provided in the normal course of business and are reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts, which amounted to $4.4 million and $3.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Generally, no collateral is received from customers and additions to the allowance are based on ongoing credit evaluations of customers with general credit experience being within the range of management’s expectations. Accounts are reviewed regularly for collectability and those deemed uncollectible are written off.  The Company assumes, that on average, all accounts receivable will be collected within one year and thus classifies these as current assets; however, there are certain receivables, principally in the U.K., that have aged longer than one year, and the Company has recorded an estimate for those receivables that will not be collected within one year as long term in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(e)               Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, there were no individual customers that accounted for greater than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
 
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $7.7 million. These amounts were held for future acquisition and working capital purposes and were held in non-interest bearing accounts, of which $2.2 million were held in the U.S. The U.S. amounts were insured in full against bank failure through December 31, 2012 under section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which provided temporary unlimited deposit insurance coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts at all FDIC-insured depository institutions. The temporary unlimited deposit insurance program, which expired on December 31, 2012, was offered by the FDIC in addition to, and separate from, the standard FDIC insurance coverage, which continues to exist, for deposit accounts up to $250,000, per depositor and account ownership category, at each separately insured depository institution.

(f)               Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
 
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

(g)               Long-Lived Assets
 
 In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Subsections of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Subtopic 360-10 (“ASC 360”),  Property, Plant, and Equipment — Overall, long-lived assets, such as equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, no impairment was noted.

(h)              Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 350,  Intangibles — Goodwill and Other  (“ASC 350”). The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.
 
The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill in October of 2012 and it was determined that the carrying amount of goodwill was not impaired and there have been no subsequent developments that would indicate impairment exists as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The goodwill impairment review will continue to be performed annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited)
 
ASC 350 also requires that intangible assets with definite lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Currently, customer relationships, trade names, covenants not-to-compete and technology are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.

(i)               Deferred Financing Costs
 
In November 2010, the Company entered in to a senior secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America N.A. (“Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility”) (see Note 10) and has incurred deferred financing costs through March 31, 2013 of $8.1 million, of which $402,000 and $30,000 were incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, in July 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (“Initial Notes”). In June 2012, in accordance with the registration rights granted to the original purchasers of the Initial Notes, the Company completed an exchange offer of the privately placed Initial Notes for new 9.0% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Exchange Notes,” and together with the Initial Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) registered with the SEC with substantially identical terms to the Initial Notes. The Company has incurred deferred financing costs of $7.1 million associated with the Senior Unsecured Notes, of which $12,000 and $22,000 were incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

The deferred financing costs associated with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes will be amortized to interest expense over the five-year term of the facility, as amended, and the eight-year term of the notes, respectively, using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company amortized $514,000 and $580,000 to interest expense, respectively.

(j)               Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue related to IMEs, peer reviews, bill reviews and administrative support services is recognized at the time services have been performed and the report is shipped to the end user. The Company believes that recognizing revenue at the time the report is shipped is appropriate because the Company’s revenue policies meet the following four criteria in accordance with ASC 605-10-S25,  Revenue Recognition: Overall,  (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) shipment has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company reports revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.

Revenue related to other IME services, including litigation support services and medical record retrieval services, where no report is generated, is recognized at the time the service is performed. The Company believes that recognizing revenue at the time the service is performed is appropriate because the Company’s revenue policies meet the following four criteria in accordance with ASC 605-10-S25, (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Certain agreements with customers in the U.K. include provisions whereby collection of the amounts billed are contingent on the favorable outcome of the claim.  The Company has deemed these provisions to preclude revenue recognition at the time of sale, as collectability is not reasonably assured and the sales are contingent, and is deferring these revenues, net of estimated costs, until the case has been settled, the contingency has been resolved and the cash has been collected.   As of December 31, 2012, the Company had deferred $12.6 million in contingent revenues and $9.1 million in costs and expenses associated with the contingent revenues.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company deferred an additional $2.4 million in contingent revenues and $1.8 million in costs and expenses associated with contingent revenues.
 
Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.

(k)             Costs of Revenues

Costs of revenues are comprised of fees paid to members of the Company’s medical panel; other direct costs including transcription, film and medical record obtainment and transportation; and other indirect costs including labor and overhead related to the generation of revenues.

(l)               Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10,  Income Taxes — Overall ), and recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Prior to the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, the Company recognized the effect of income tax positions only if such positions were probable of being sustained.

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

(m)             Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss, adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted-average number of actual shares outstanding and, when dilutive, the share equivalents that would arise from the assumed conversion of convertible instruments. The effect of potentially dilutive stock options, warrants, shares of restricted stock with service restrictions that have not yet been satisfied and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the potentially dilutive securities include options and warrants exercisable into 9.9 million shares of common stock and 68,000 shares of common stock issuable, at the holder’s option, to settle a subordinated unsecured note. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the potentially dilutive securities include options, warrants, unvested RSUs and shares of restricted stock with a service restriction not yet satisfied exercisable into 10.4 million shares of common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, all of the potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of shares applicable to loss per share, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(n)              Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company has an Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Plan”) that provides for granting of stock options, shares of restricted stock and RSUs.  The Company accounts for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on the grant date (or measurement date if different) and recognition of compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.

Stock Options

The fair value of stock option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics not present in these employee stock options. Additionally, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its share-based awards. The Company’s expected volatility assumptions are based on the weighted average of the Company’s peer group’s median implied volatility, the Company’s mean reversion volatility and the median of the Company’s peer group’s most recent historical volatilities for 2013 stock option grants. Expected life assumptions are based upon the “simplified” method for those options issued in the first quarter of 2013 which were determined to be issued approximately at-the-money. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued approximately 365,000 stock option awards to employees and the aggregate fair value was $2.4 million.  All of these awards vest over a three-year period.  Additionally, all these options could vest earlier in the event of a change in control or merger or other acquisition.  Share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, of which $728,000 was included in costs of revenues and $2.2 million was recorded in SGA expenses.

At March 31, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option grants was $18.8 million, with a remaining weighted average life of 1.6 years.

Exercisable at March 31, 2013
    5,158,810     $ 10.63       7.4     $ 40,459  

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period in excess of the weighted average exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable.  The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2.0 million.
 
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
 
The Company has granted members of the Board of Directors and certain employees, time lapse restricted stock and RSUs which vest after a stipulated number of years from the grant date depending on the terms of the issue. The fair value of shares of restricted stock and RSUs is determined based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant.  Time lapse restricted shares issued and RSUs vest over one, two and three-year periods.  The agreements under which the restricted stock and RSUs are issued provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions established under the stock plans have been satisfied.  The restriction on these awards could expire earlier than the stipulated time frame in the event of a change in control or merger or other acquisition.  Share based compensation expense related to shares of restricted stock and RSUs was $149,000 and $803,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, all of which is included in SGA expenses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company has accrued share-based compensation expense of $446,000 related to a 2013 incentive compensation plan, all of which was recorded in SGA expenses.  The compensation plan has both a 2013 annual performance metric and subsequent service requirement.  If the performance metric is met, the associated liability will be settled in the first quarter of 2014 with an indeterminate number of restricted shares which will vest equally on June 1, 2014 and June 1, 2015.
 
(o)              Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company’s financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), are categorized using the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, and are as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using observable market inputs, such as current interest rates, and considers nonperformance risk of the Company and that of its counterparties.
 
The contingent consideration relates to earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with certain acquisitions completed in 2009 and 2010. The total increase in fair value of the contingent consideration of $9,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 was recorded in interest and other expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss due to changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration.  
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified as ASC Topic 825 Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This provision of ASC 825 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As the Company did not elect the fair value option, the adoption of this provision of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012, and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.

(p)              Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net loss. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, reported net of tax as appropriate, from those business units not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

(q)              Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013 the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to require reporting entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, reporting entities will be required to present, either on the face of the statement of operations or in the footnotes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by statement of operations line item. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The Company adopted these provisions effective January 1, 2013 and the adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2013 the Company has not yet been required to adopt, none of which are expected to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

  (3)            Acquisitions
 
ExamWorks operates in a highly fragmented industry and has completed 40 acquisitions since July 14, 2008. A key component of ExamWorks’ acquisition strategy is growth through acquisitions that expand its geographic coverage, that provide new or complementary lines of business, expand its portfolio of services and that increase its market share.
 
The Company has accounted for all business combinations using the purchase method to record a new cost basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company recorded, based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, intangible assets representing client relationships, tradenames, covenants not to compete, and technology and the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the separately recognized intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The goodwill is attributable to synergies achieved through the streamlining of operations combined with improved margins attainable through increased market presence. The results of operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition.

(a)              2012 Acquisitions

In 2012, the Company completed the following individually insignificant acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $109.2 million, comprised of $112.0 million cash consideration less cash acquired of $2.9 million, and 6,190 shares of the Company’s common stock with an estimated fair value of $85,000. In conjunction with these 2012 acquisitions, the Company incurred transaction costs of $1.3 million, of which $2,000 were incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2013.  There were no transaction costs incurred relating to these 2012 acquisitions in the three months ended March 31, 2012.  These amounts are reported in SGA expenses in the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. These acquisitions expanded the geographic coverage and, to a lesser extent, enhanced the service offering of the Company.

Goodwill of $52.9 million and other intangible assets of $50.2 million are expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a portion of which give rise to annual foreign tax credit limitations subject to the provisions of IRC Section 901(m). The Company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change. Such changes are not expected to be significant. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

(b)             Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 assumes that the 2012 acquisitions were completed on January 1, 2011. There we no acquisitions completed in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and thus there are no differences between the reported and pro forma results of operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, pro forma revenues and net loss were $140.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Pro forma net loss per share, on both a basic and diluted basis, was $0.19.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the pro forma results include adjustments to reflect additional interest expense of $1.7 million associated with the funding of the acquisitions assuming that acquisition related debt was incurred on January 1, 2011. In addition, incremental depreciation and amortization expense was recorded as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2011 and amounted to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Finally, adjustments of $905,000 were made to SGA expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012, principally related to certain salary and other personal expenses attributable to the previous owners of the acquired businesses. These adjustments represent contractual reductions and are considered to be non-recurring and are not expected to have a continuing impact on the operations of the Company.

The pro forma financial information presented above is not necessarily indicative of either the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions been effective as of January 1, 2011 or of future operations of the Company.

(a)           On July 19, 2011, the Company closed a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the “Initial Notes”). The Initial Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount. A portion of the gross proceeds of $250.0 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company’s Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and pay related fees and expenses, and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. In June 2012, in accordance with the registration rights granted to the original purchasers of the Initial Notes, the Company completed an exchange offer of the privately placed Initial Notes for new 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the “Exchange Notes,” and together with the Initial Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) registered with the SEC with substantially identical terms to the Initial Notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior obligations of ExamWorks and are guaranteed by ExamWorks’ existing and future U.S. subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”).

The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2011 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Senior Unsecured Notes are the Company’s general senior unsecured obligations, and rank equally with the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured obligations and senior to all of the Company’s further subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 9.0% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2012.

At any time on or after July 15, 2015, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the redemption prices stated in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Prior to July 15, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes with net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes remains outstanding after redemption. Further, the Company may redeem some or all of the of the Senior Unsecured Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2015 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes plus a make whole premium described in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Indenture includes covenants which, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain types of restricted payments, incur liens on assets of the Company or the restricted subsidiaries, engage in asset sales and enter into transactions with affiliates. Upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), the Company may be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.

(b)           The Company entered into a credit agreement dated November 2, 2010 with Bank of America, N.A (the “Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility initially consisted of a $180.0 million revolving credit facility. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is available to finance the Company’s acquisition program and working capital needs. On February 9, 2011, the Company exercised the accordion feature of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, increasing the facility from $180.0 million to $245.0 million.

On May 6, 2011, the Company increased and fully exercised the accordion features of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The increase and exercise of the accordion feature increased the committed capacity of the credit facility by $55.0 million, from a total of $245.0 million to a total of $300.0 million.

On July 7, 2011, the Company entered into a second amendment to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”) which became effective simultaneously with the consummation of the Company’s private offering of the Senior Unsecured Notes. The Second Amendment amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from November 2013 to July 2016; (ii) permit the issuance and sale of the Senior Unsecured Notes; (iii) replace the consolidated senior leverage ratio with a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio while permitting the maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio to be 3.00 to 1; (iv) permit the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio to increase from 3.5 to 1 to 4.75 to 1; (v) reduce the borrowing cost; and (vi) allow the Company to complete acquisitions with a purchase price of up to $75.0 million (previously $50.0 million) without prior lender consent. The Second Amendment also reduced the aggregate revolving commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $262.5 million, subject to the Company’s right to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $300.0 million, so long as the Company is not in default and the Company satisfies certain other customary conditions.

On February 27, 2012, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility as to the definitions of consolidated fixed charges and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and does not permit the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be less than (i) for any fiscal quarter ending during the period from December 31, 2011 to and including September 30, 2012, 1.75 to 1.00 and (ii) for any fiscal quarter ending thereafter, 2.00 to 1.00.

On August 27, 2012, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to add the Australian dollar as an alternative currency and increased the alternative currency sublimit from USD $60.0 million to USD $100.0 million.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest, at either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate (equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Bank of America prime rate and (c) LIBOR (using a one month-period) plus 1.0%), plus the applicable margin, as the Company elects. The applicable margin means a percentage per annum determined in accordance with the following table:

In the event of default, the outstanding indebtedness under the facility will bear interest at an additional 2.00%.

The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants, including among other things, financial covenants requiring the Company to not exceed a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage coverage ratio and a maximum total consolidated leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility also restricts the Company’s ability (subject to certain exceptions) to incur indebtedness, prepay or amend other indebtedness, create liens, make certain fundamental changes including mergers or dissolutions, pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock, make certain investments, sell assets, change its lines of business, enter into transactions with affiliates and other corporate actions.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $100.1 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in $162.4 million of undrawn commitments.  Of the total amount outstanding as of March 31, 2013, $52.1 million was denominated in Australian dollars (“AUD”) with the balance denominated in U.S. dollars. The credit agreement governing the Company’s Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants, including among other things, financial covenants which may limit the amount of borrowings available.

(c)              On September 29, 2010, the Company’s indirect 100% owned subsidiary UKIM entered into a Sales Finance Agreement (the “UKIM SFA”) with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), pursuant to which Barclays will provide UKIM a working capital facility of up to £5,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the UKIM SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.5% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on March 31, 2013) and serves to finance UKIM’s unpaid account receivables.  The working capital facility has a minimum term of 36 months. The working capital facility operates on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2013, UKIM had $6.4 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $1.2 million in availability.
 
On May 12, 2011, the Company’s indirect 100% owned subsidiary Premex entered into a Sales Finance Agreement (the “Premex SFA”) with Barclays, pursuant to which Barclays will provide Premex a working capital facility of up to £26,500,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Premex SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.4% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on March 31, 2013) and serves to finance Premex’s unpaid account receivables.  The working capital facility has a minimum term of 36 months. The working capital facility operates on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2013, Premex had $25.2 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $15.1 million in availability.

(d)              During 2009 and 2010, the Company issued seller debt in the form of subordinated unsecured notes payable with an estimated fair value of approximately $6.9 million relating to certain acquisitions. These notes are unsecured and subordinated to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the Senior Unsecured Notes issued in July 2011. Five notes payable totaling $4.4 million bear interest at 6%, and are payable quarterly with amounts ranging between $50,000 and $76,000, with maturity dates ranging from August 2011 through March 2013. The remaining balance of the notes payable, $2.5 million, are noninterest bearing and are payable annually with amounts ranging between $250,000 and $750,000, maturing in 2014. The Company did not make any principal payments during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, future maturities of long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):

(11)            Financial Instruments
 
The FASB issued ASC 815 which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. ASC 815 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as a hedge must be adjusted to fair value in earnings. If the derivative does qualify as a hedge under ASC 815, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedge’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
 
In August 2008, in order to protect against interest rate exposure on its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The agreement swaps one-month LIBOR for a fixed interest rate of 4.36% with a notional amount of $4.8 million and $4.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The Company did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting under ASC 815, thus the difference between its amortized cost and its fair value resulted in an unrealized gain at March 31, 2012 and 2013 of $54,000 and $48,000 respectively, and such amount was reported in interest and other expenses, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

In September 2012, in order to protect against foreign currency exposure on its Australian operations, the Company borrowed in Australian dollars as a hedge of its net investment in Australia related to the MedHealth acquisition. The Company has outstanding debt of approximately AUD$50.0 million that is designated as a hedge of its net investment in Australia as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. This non-derivative net investment hedge was classified as long-term debt in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 815, the translation of this debt instrument designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, offsetting the currency translation adjustment of the related net investment that is also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. This instrument will mature in conjunction with amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

(12)            Income Taxes

In preparing its financial statements, the Company estimates income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities

Additionally, the Company currently has significant deferred tax assets and other deductible temporary differences including basis differences between intangible assets. The Company does not provide a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized based on available evidence including scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and other tax planning considerations.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740 as it relates to uncertain tax positions. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.

As of December 31, 2012, the liability related to unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $327,000. The Company recorded an additional liability of $6,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to acquired liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and interest and penalties on prior year tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the unrecognized tax benefits for the period ended March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income or state tax return examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2008 and 2007, respectively, which periods relate to certain acquired businesses. The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and faces audits from various tax authorities. The Company remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective tax jurisdiction. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of the unrecognized benefit will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
 
Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been recorded. Deferred taxes are provided for earnings outside the United States when those earnings are not considered indefinitely reinvested.

(13)          Segment and Geographical Information
 
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC Topic 280”). ASC 280, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products, major customers and the geographies in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the provisions of ASC 280, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment. The Company manages its resources and assesses its performance on an enterprise-wide basis. The Company’s product groups qualify for aggregation under ASC 280 due to their similarities in customer base, economic characteristics, and the nature of products and services provided.

(14)            Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantor Subsidiaries

The Company has outstanding certain indebtedness that is guaranteed by all of its U.S. subsidiaries. However, the indebtedness is not guaranteed by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned and the guarantees are made on a joint and several basis, and are full and unconditional. Separate consolidated financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented because management believes that such information would not be material to investors. However, condensed consolidating financial information as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 is presented below. The Company (issuer of the Senior Unsecured Notes) was formed in June 2010 to implement a holding company organizational structure. As a result, all operating activities are conducted through the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries. On August 31, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of MedHealth Holdings Pty Limited ("MedHealth"), an Australian entity. In connection with this acquisition, the Company formed a new Delaware holding company, ExamWorks AP, Inc. (“ExamWorks AP”). ExamWorks AP was added to the Indenture as a guarantor of the Senior Unsecured Notes and is a direct subsidiary of the Company.

Forward-looking Statements

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “ExamWorks”, “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” mean ExamWorks Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements convey current expectations or forecasts of future events for ExamWorks. All statements contained in this report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “will,” “can,” “continue,” or “may,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors,” set forth in Part II, Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere in this report, and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this report. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this report.

Our Business
 
We are a leading provider of IMEs, peer and bill reviews, and related services, which include legal support services, administrative support services and medical record retrieval services. We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 27, 2007. From July 14, 2008 through the date of this filing, we have acquired 40 IME businesses, including a leading provider of software solutions to the IME industry. We currently operate out of 57 service centers servicing all 50 U.S. states, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
 
We provide our services to property and casualty insurance carriers, law firms, third-party claim administrators, government agencies, and state funds that use independent services to confirm the veracity of claims by sick or injured individuals for workers’ compensation, automotive, personal injury liability and disability insurance coverage. We help our clients manage costs and enhance their risk management processes by verifying the validity, nature, cause and extent of claims, identifying fraud and providing fast, efficient and quality IME services.
 
We provide our clients with the local presence, expertise and broad geographic coverage they increasingly require. Our size and geographic reach give our clients access to our medical panel of credentialed physicians and other medical providers and our proprietary information technology infrastructure that has been specifically designed to streamline the complex process of coordinating referrals, scheduling appointments, complying with regulations and client reporting. Our primary service is to provide IMEs that give our clients authoritative and accurate answers to questions regarding the nature and permanency of medical conditions or personal injury, their cause and appropriate treatment. Additionally, we provide peer and bill reviews, which consist of medical opinions by members of our medical panel without conducting physical exams, and the review of physician and hospital bills to examine medical care rendered and its conformity to accepted standards of care. Prior to the MES acquisition in February 2011, we marketed our services primarily under the ExamWorks brand.  Initially with the MES acquisition and subsequently with the Premex and MedHealth acquisitions, we began to market our services under several brands, including but not limited to, ExamWorks, MES, Premex and MedHealth.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
We operate in a highly fragmented industry and have completed numerous acquisitions. A key component of our business strategy is growth through acquisitions that expand our geographic coverage, provide new or complementary lines of business, expand our portfolio of services, and increase our market share. For example, our acquisition of MedHealth in August 2012 enabled us to enter the Australian market and, expand our range of clients and services, and increase our international market presence.  Another central feature of our business strategy is to grow our business organically by selling additional services to existing clients, cross-selling into additional insurance lines of business and expanding our geographic footprint with existing clients. To date, we have completed the following 40 acquisitions:

Sources of Revenues and Expenses
 
Revenues
 
We derive revenue primarily from fees charged for independent medical examinations, peer and bill reviews and other related services, which include litigation support services, administrative support services and medical record retrieval services. Revenues are recognized at the time services have been performed and, if applicable, at the time the report is shipped to the end user. We expect revenue to continue to increase through acquisition and organic growth.  Our revenue is derived from services performed in different geographic areas.
 
Certain agreements with customers in the U.K. include provisions whereby collection of the amounts billed are contingent on the favorable outcome of the claim.  We have deemed these provisions to preclude revenue recognition at the time of sale, as collectability is not reasonably assured and the sales are contingent, and are deferring these revenues, net of estimated costs, until the case has been settled and the contingency has been resolved and the cash has been collected.
 
 
27

 
 
EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Costs of revenues
 
Costs of revenues are comprised of fees paid to members of our medical panel; other direct costs including transcription, film and medical record obtainment and transportation; and other indirect costs including labor and overhead related to the generation of revenue. We expect these operationally driven costs to increase to support future revenue growth and as we continue to grow through acquisitions.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses consist primarily of expenses for administrative, human resource related, corporate information technology support, legal (primarily from transaction costs related to acquisitions), finance and accounting personnel, professional fees (primarily from transaction costs related to acquisitions), insurance and other corporate expenses. We expect that SGA expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel to support the growth of our business and pursue acquisition growth. In addition, we anticipate that we will incur additional personnel expenses, professional service fees, including audit and legal, investor relations, costs of compliance with securities laws and regulations, and higher director and officer insurance costs related to operating as a public company. As a result, we expect that our SGA expenses will continue to increase in the future but decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as our revenue increases.

Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization (“D&A”) expense consists primarily of amortization of our finite lived intangible assets obtained through acquisitions completed to date and, to a lesser extent, depreciation of equipment and leasehold improvements. We expect that depreciation and amortization expense will increase as we continue our acquisition strategy.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Adjusted EBITDA
 
In connection with the ongoing operation of our business, our management regularly reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, share-based compensation expenses, and other non-recurring costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, lenders, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period to period after removing the impact of changes to our capitalization structure, acquisition related costs, income tax status, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.
 
We believe that various forms of the Adjusted EBITDA metric are often used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies such as ours for the reasons discussed above. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used to measure certain financial covenants in our credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for planning purposes and in presentations to our Board of Directors as well as in our incentive compensation programs for our employees.
 
Non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information, as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results. Management uses, and investors should use, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands):

(ii) 
Other non-recurring costs consist primarily of severance and facility termination costs.
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
 
Revenues. Revenues were $148.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $123.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $25.0 million, or 20%. The increase in revenues over the 2012 period was due primarily to acquisitions completed in 2012 and, to a lesser extent, increased IME service volumes in our U.K. business.
 
Actual revenues were $148.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to pro forma revenues of $140.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing a 6% increase year over year. There were no acquisitions during in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and thus actual revenues are the same as pro forma revenues for the period.  The increase in revenues over the 2012 period on a pro forma basis was due primarily to increased IME service volumes in our U.K and Australia businesses, and to a lesser extent a more favorable sales mix. Pro forma revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 assumes that the 2012 acquisitions were completed on January 1, 2011.

Costs of revenues. Costs of revenues were $97.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $81.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $16.2 million, or 20%. The increase in costs of revenues over the 2012 period was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2012. Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues were consistent at 65.5% and 65.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Selling, general and administrative. SGA expenses were $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $4.7 million, or 16%. The increase in SGA expenses over the 2012 period was primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2012, with personnel expenses, including share-based compensation, accounting for $5.7 million of this increase and the remainder resulting primarily from increases in referral commissions, rent, computer related expenses, travel, phone and other professional expenses, offset by a decrease in acquisition related transaction costs.
 
Depreciation and amortization. D&A expenses were $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $2.3 million, or 16%. The increase in D&A expenses over the 2012 period was due primarily to additional amortization of finite-lived intangible and tangible assets related to acquisitions completed during 2012.
 
Interest and other expenses, net. Interest and other expenses, net were $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $957,000, or 15%. Interest and other expenses, net increased primarily due to increased interest expenses related to additional borrowings on our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to fund acquisitions and deferred loan cost amortization offset by adjustments to an interest rate swap.

Income tax benefit. Income tax benefit was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decreased benefit of $140,000, or 6%. Our effective income tax rate was 38.0% and 35.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax rates in the 2013 and 2012 periods were impacted primarily by foreign tax rate differentials and non-deductible items.
 
Net loss. For the foregoing reasons, net loss was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal capital requirements are to fund operations and acquisitions. To date, we have funded our capital needs from cash flow generated from operations, private placements of our common and preferred stock, our initial public offering ("IPO"), borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the private offering of the Senior Unsecured Notes, as defined below.  We have also funded our acquisition program with equity issuances to sellers and with seller debt financing. We expect that cash and cash equivalents, availability under our existing credit and working capital facilities and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to support our operations, planned capital expenditures and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.
 
Although we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and funds available under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and acquisition plans for at least the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities or increase borrowings to fund acquisitions. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and these securities might have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our current stockholders. Additional financing may not be available or, if available, such financing may not be obtained on terms favorable to our stockholders and us.

Credit Facilities
 
Credit Facility
 
We entered into a credit agreement dated November 2, 2010 with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility initially consisted of a $180.0 million revolving credit facility. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is available to finance our acquisition program and working capital needs. On February 9, 2011, we exercised the accordion feature of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, increasing the facility from $180.0 million to $245.0 million.
 
On May 6, 2011, we increased and fully exercised the accordion features of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.  The increase and exercise of the accordion feature increased the committed capacity of the credit facility by $55.0 million, from a total of $245.0 million to a total of $300.0 million.

On July 7, 2011, we entered into a second amendment to our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”) which became effective simultaneously with the consummation of our private offering of the Senior Unsecured Notes.  The Second Amendment amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from November 2013 to July 2016; (ii) permit the issuance and sale of the Senior Unsecured Notes; (iii) replace the consolidated senior leverage ratio with a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio while permitting the maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio to be 3.00 to 1; (iv) permit our maximum consolidated leverage ratio to increase from 3.5 to 1 to 4.75 to 1; (v) reduce the borrowing cost; and (vi) allow us to complete acquisitions with a purchase price of up to $75.0 million (previously $50.0 million) without prior lender consent. The Second Amendment also reduced the aggregate revolving commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $262.5 million, subject to our right to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by $37.5 million for a maximum commitment of $300.0 million, so long as we are not in default and the we satisfies certain other customary conditions.

On February 27, 2012, we entered into a third amendment to our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility as to the definitions of consolidated fixed charges and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and does not permit the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be less than (i) for any fiscal quarter ending during the period from December 31, 2011 to and including September 30, 2012, 1.75 to 1.00 and (ii) for any fiscal quarter ending thereafter, 2.00 to 1.00.

On August 27, 2012, we entered into a fourth amendment to our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”).  The Fourth Amendment amended the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to add the Australian dollar as an alternative currency and increased the alternative currency sublimit from USD $60.0 million to USD $100.0 million.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest, at either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate (equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Bank of America prime rate and (c) LIBOR (using a one month-period) plus 1.0%), plus the applicable margin, as we elect. The applicable margin means a percentage per annum determined in accordance with the following table:

In the event of default, the outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at an additional 2%.

The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants, including among other things financial covenants requiring us to not exceed a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage coverage ratio, a maximum total consolidated leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility also restricts our ability (subject to certain exceptions) to incur indebtedness, prepay or amend other indebtedness, create liens, make certain fundamental changes including mergers or dissolutions, pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock, make certain investments, sell assets, change our lines of business, enter into transactions with affiliates and other corporate actions.  As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the financial covenants in the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
 
The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility also includes events of default typical of these types of credit facilities and transactions, including, but not limited to, the nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts owing under the new Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the violation of covenants, the inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults, insolvency, certain ERISA events, material judgments and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the lenders not being required to lend any additional amounts and the acceleration of obligations under the new senior secured revolving credit facility, causing such obligations to be due and payable immediately, which could materially and adversely affect us.
 
As of March 31, 2013, we had $100.1 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.00%, resulting in $162.4 million of undrawn commitments. Of the total amount outstanding as of March 31, 2013, $52.1 million was denominated in Australian dollars ("AUD") with the balance denominated in U.S. dollars. The credit agreement governing our Senior Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants, including among other things, financial covenants which may limit the amount of borrowings available to us.

Working Capital Facilities
 
On September 29, 2010, our indirect 100% owned subsidiary UKIM entered into a Sales Finance Agreement (the “UKIM SFA”) with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), pursuant to which Barclays will provide UKIM a working capital facility of up to £5,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the UKIM SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.5% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on March 31, 2013) and serves to finance UKIM’s unpaid account receivables.  The working capital facility has a minimum term of 36 months. The working capital facility operates on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2013, UKIM had $6.4 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $1.2 million in availability.
 
On May 12, 2011, our indirect 100% owned subsidiary Premex entered into a Sales Finance Agreement (the “Premex SFA”) with Barclays, pursuant to which Barclays will provide Premex a working capital facility of up to £26,500,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Premex SFA. The working capital facility bears a discount margin of 2.4% over Base Rate (0.5% rate on March 31, 2013) and serves to finance Premex’s unpaid account receivables.  The working capital facility has a minimum term of 36 months. The working capital facility operates on a co-terminus and cross-default basis with other facilities provided by Barclays and with the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2013, Premex had $25.2 million outstanding under the working capital facility, resulting in approximately $15.1 million in availability.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On July 19, 2011, we closed a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2019 (the “Initial Notes”). The Initial Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount. A portion of the gross proceeds of $250.0 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and pay related fees and expenses, and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. In June 2012, in accordance with the registration rights granted to the original purchasers of the Initial Notes, we completed an exchange offer of the privately placed Initial Notes for new 9.0% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Exchange Notes,” and together with the Initial Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) registered with the SEC with substantially identical terms to the Initial Notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior obligations of ExamWorks and are guaranteed by ExamWorks’ existing and future U.S. subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”).

The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2011 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  The Senior Unsecured Notes are our general senior unsecured obligations, and rank equally with our existing and future senior unsecured obligations and senior to all of our further subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 9.0% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2012.

At any time on or after July 15, 2015, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the redemption prices stated in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Prior to July 15, 2014, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes with net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes remains outstanding after redemption. Further, we may redeem some or all of the of the Senior Unsecured Notes at any time prior to July 15, 2015 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes plus a make whole premium described in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
 
The Indenture includes covenants which, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain types of restricted payments, incur liens on assets of the Company or the restricted subsidiaries, engage in asset sales and enter into transactions with affiliates. Upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we may be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Net cash used in operating activities for 2013 consisted of our net loss of $3.6 million and a net increase in working capital of approximately $13.0 million in 2013, which was offset by net non-cash charges of $15.5 million (principally including $16.3 million in depreciation and amortization and $4.1 million in share-based compensation, offset by a net decrease in deferred income taxes of $6.0 million). The 2013 increase in working capital primarily consisted of increases in accounts receivable in our U.K. business and decreased accrued interest expense offset by increased accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenues and customer deposits.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities of $4.8 million for 2012 consisted of our net loss of $4.3 million and a net increase in working capital of approximately $7.1 million, which was offset by net non-cash charges of $16.2 million (principally including $14.0 million in depreciation and amortization and $4.7 million in share-based compensation and $1.1 million of provision for bad debts, offset by a net decrease in deferred income taxes of $3.9 million). The 2012 increase in working capital primarily consisted of increases in accounts receivable in our U.K. business, prepaid expenses and other current assets and decreased accrued interest expenses, offset by increased accounts payable and accrued expenses.
  
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $356,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The 2013 use of cash was due primarily to increased capital expenditures over the year-ago period.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $356,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.   The 2012 cash provided was attributable to inflows from acquisition settlement related activities during 2012 of $908,000, offset by capital expenditures of $552,000.
 
 Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net used in financing activities of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The 2013 cash provided was primarily attributable to borrowings under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of $10.0 million and the proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants of $2.4 million, offset by repayments under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of $10.0 million and net repayments under our working capital facilities of $800,000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The 2012 use of cash was primarily attributable to repayments under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of $11.0 million, net repayments of $3.8 million under our working capital facilities, repayments of unsecured notes payable of $546,000, payment of deferred financing costs of $414,000 and repurchases of stock for treasury of $387,000, offset by borrowings under our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility of $11.0 million.

Contingencies
 
We record contingent liabilities resulting from asserted and unasserted claims against us when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. We disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded liability. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors, in some cases including judgments about the potential actions of third-party claimants and courts. Therefore, actual losses in any future period are inherently uncertain. We currently are not involved in any material legal proceedings. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to any future proceedings. Contingent liabilities are described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

We have certain contractual obligations including various debt agreements with requirements to make interest payments. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Unsecured Notes are subject to a fixed interest rate of 9.0% and interest is expected to be $22.5 million annually with semi-annual payments that began in January 2012 and end in July 2019.  Additionally, certain amounts are subject to the level of borrowings in future periods and the interest rate for the applicable periods, and therefore the amounts of these payments are not determinable. Based upon amounts outstanding at March 31, 2013 and applicable interest rates currently ranging between 0.0% and 6.3%, interest amounts are expected to be approximately $4.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, approximately $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Overview and Definitions
 
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include those related to accounts receivable reserves, the portion of accounts receivable deemed to be long term in nature, goodwill and other intangible assets, share-based compensation other equity instruments, income and other taxes, derivative instruments and contingent obligations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the impact of changes in key assumptions may not be linear. Our management has reviewed the application of these policies with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. We believe that our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue related to IMEs, peer reviews, bill reviews and administrative support services is recognized at the time services have been performed and the report is shipped to the end user. We believe that recognizing revenue at the time the report is shipped is appropriate because we meet the following four criteria in accordance with ASC 605-10-S25,  Revenue Recognition: Overall , (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) shipment has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. We report revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.
 
Revenue related to other IME services, including litigation support services and medical record retrieval services, where no report is generated, is recognized at the time the service is performed. We believe that recognizing revenue at the time the service is performed is appropriate because we meet the following four criteria in accordance with ASC 605-10-S25, (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Certain agreements with customers in the U.K. include provisions whereby collection of the amounts billed are contingent on the favorable outcome of the claim.  We have deemed these provisions to preclude revenue recognition at the time of sale, as collectability is not reasonably assured and the sales are contingent, and are deferring these revenues, net of estimated costs, until the case has been settled the cash has been collected and the contingency has been resolved.  
 
Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.
 
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Accounts receivable balances consist of amounts owed to us for services provided in the normal course of business and are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Generally, no collateral is received from clients and the collectability of trade receivable balances is regularly evaluated based on a combination of factors such as client credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment patterns and additions to the allowance are made based on these trends. Accounts are reviewed regularly for collectability and those deemed uncollectible are written off.

We assume, that on average, all accounts receivable will be collected within one year and thus classify these as current assets; however, there are certain receivables, principally in the U.K., that have aged longer than one year as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, and we have recorded an estimate for those receivables that will not be collected within one year as long term in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Based on the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and between annual valuations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances include: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using primarily the income, or discounted cash flows, approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Intangible assets, including client relationships, trade names, covenants not to compete and technology that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.
 
We performed our annual impairment review of goodwill in October 2012 and reviewed subsequent events through March 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired as of year end. Further, we believe that there have been no facts or circumstances through the date of this filing that indicate an impairment of goodwill exists.

Deferred Income Taxes

In preparing its financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Additionally, we currently have significant deferred tax assets and other deductible temporary differences including basis differences between intangible assets. We do not provide a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as we believes that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized based on available evidence including scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and other tax planning considerations.

We apply the provisions of ASC 740 as it relates to uncertain tax positions. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.

We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income or state tax return examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2008 and 2007, respectively, which periods relate to certain acquired businesses. We operate in multiple taxing jurisdictions and face audits from various tax authorities. We remain subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective tax jurisdiction. We do not anticipate that the amount of the unrecognized benefit will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
 
Undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are considered indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been recorded. Deferred taxes are provided for earnings outside the United States when those earnings are not considered indefinitely reinvested.

Share-Based Compensation and Other Equity Instruments
 
Our stock incentive plan provides for the granting of stock options and share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on the grant date (or measurement date, if different) and recognition of compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. We use the straight-line amortization method for recognizing share-based compensation expense.
 
The fair value of stock option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics not present in these employee stock options. Additionally, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in our opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its share-based awards.
 
Our expected volatility assumptions are based on the weighted average of our peer group’s median implied volatility, our mean reversion volatility and the median of our peer group’s most recent historical volatilities for 2013 stock option grants. Expected life assumptions for those stock options granted in 2013 are based upon the “simplified” method, as described in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term, which were determined to be issued approximately at-the-money.. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.

The fair value of restricted stock units and shares of restricted stock is determined based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant.

Accounting for Acquisitions
 
Accounting for acquisitions requires us to recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity. Our accounting for acquisitions involves significant judgments and estimates, including the fair value of certain forms of consideration such as our common stock, the fair value of acquired intangible assets, which involve projections of future revenues, cash flows and terminal value, which are then discounted at an estimated discount rate, the fair value of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including potential contingencies, and the useful lives of the assets. The projections are developed using internal forecasts, available industry and market data and estimates of long-term rates of growth for our business. The impact of prior or future acquisitions on our financial position or results of operations may be materially impacted by the change in or initial selection of assumptions and estimates. 

Financial Instruments
  
Our financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”),are categorized using the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using observable market inputs, such as current interest rates, and considers nonperformance risk of the Company and that of our counterparties.
 
The contingent consideration relates to earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with certain acquisitions completed in 2009 and 2010. The total increase in fair value of the contingent consideration of $9,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 was recorded in interest and other expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss due to changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In addition to the recently adopted accounting pronouncements discussed above in conjunction with our critical accounting policies, we believe the following recently adopted accounting pronouncements are important to an understanding of our financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013 the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to require reporting entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, reporting entities will be required to present, either on the face of the statement of operations or in the footnotes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by statement of operations line item. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  We adopted these provisions effective January 1, 2013 and the adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

EXAMWORKS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2013 that we have not yet been required to adopt, none of which are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates as well as inflation. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates which affect our debt as well as cash flows. We may also face additional exchange rate risk in the future as we expand our business internationally.
 
Interest Rate Risk. As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $7.7 million. These amounts were held for future acquisition and working capital purposes and were held in non-interest bearing accounts, of which $2.2 million were held in the U.S. The U.S. amounts were insured in full against bank failure through December 31, 2012 under section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which provided temporary unlimited deposit insurance coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts at all FDIC-insured depository institutions. The temporary unlimited deposit insurance program, which expired on December 31, 2012, was offered by the FDIC in addition to, and separate from, the standard FDIC insurance coverage, which continues to exist, for deposit accounts up to $250,000, per depositor and account ownership category, at each separately insured depository institution.
 
Our outstanding debts of $31.6 million and $100.1 million at March 31, 2013 related to indebtedness under our working capital facilities and Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, contain floating interest rates. Thus, our interest rate is subject to market risk in the form of fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a hypothetical one percentage point increase in our variable rate debt would result in an increase of approximately $1.3 million in our annual pre-tax net loss assuming no further changes in the amount of borrowings subject to variable rate interest from amounts outstanding at March 31, 2013.
 
In August 2008, as required under our then existing credit facility, in order to protect against interest rate exposure on its variable-rate debt, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate applicable to our variable-rate debt. The agreement swaps one-month LIBOR for a fixed interest rate of 4.36%. We do not, and do not intend to, engage in the practice of trading derivative securities for profit.
 
Foreign Exchange Risk. As of March 31, 2013, we have foreign currency risks related to our revenues and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, namely, the Canadian dollar, the Pound Sterling and the Australian dollar. Our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. We do not currently hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to the Canadian dollar and the Pound Sterling given that the net difference between foreign currency denominated revenue and expenses is immaterial. In the future, however, we may hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in these currencies.

In September 2012, in order to protect against foreign currency exposure on our Australian operations, we borrowed in Australian dollars as a hedge of our net investment in Australia related to the MedHealth acquisition. We have outstanding debt of approximately AUD$50.0 million that is designated as a hedge of our net investment in Australia as of March 31, 2013.  This non-derivative net investment hedge was classified as long-term debt in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 815, the translation of this debt instrument designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, offsetting the currency translation adjustment of the related net investment that is also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. This instrument will mature in conjunction with amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013.  Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is currently a party to various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities.  While the Company does not presently believe that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings will have a material impact on its business, operating results or financial condition, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.  If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, it is possible that such ruling could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition in the period in which the ruling occurs.  Our current estimates of the potential impact from such legal proceedings could change in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
There have been no material changes in the risks facing the Company as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Dividend Policy
 
Since the Company’s incorporation in 2007, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock.  The Company currently intends to retain all of the Company’s future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of the Company’s business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future.  The Company’s existing credit facility and the Indenture restrict the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends, and any future financing agreements may restrict the Company from paying any type of dividends.
