During the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2003, the Company performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As a result of this test, the Company concluded its goodwill was impaired due to its continued operating losses and decreases in market capitalization. Specifically, the fair value of the Company at the consolidated level based on its market capitalization was compared to its carrying value. This process indicated that the Company's carrying value exceeded its fair value. The fair value was then allocated to all of the Company's assets and liabilities. There was no excess fair value over the fair value allocated to the Company's net assets indicating that goodwill was impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $371,536 to operations to reflect this impairment of goodwill. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this press release may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions, the potential loss or termination of existing clients and contracts and the ability of the Company to successfully identify and thereafter consummate one or more acquisitions. American Claims Evaluation, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, RPM Rehabilitation & Associates, Inc., offers a full range of vocational rehabilitation and disability management services.
