NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FIVE MONTHS ENDED MAY 30, 2006 AND MAY 31, 2005

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc. and Affiliates (the Companies) is composed of three organizations collectively referred to as Sterling Systems. The results of the Companies are presented on consolidated financial statements as a result of common ownership of the three companies. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The Companies provide design automation software, hardware, training, technical support and professional services to corporations, government agencies and educational institutions throughout the United States.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), which are, in management’s opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the five months ended May 30, 2006 and May 31,2005 are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

Note 2 - Subsequent Event

On May 30, 2006 the Companies were purchased by Avatech Solutions, Inc.

Madison Heights, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc. and Affiliates as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and changes in shareholders’ and members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc. and Affiliates as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

This interpretation clarifies existing accounting principles related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when the equity investors in an entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support FIN 46R requires a company to evaluate all existing arrangements to identify situations where a company has a variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and further determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, which results in a company being required to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements with its own Upon adoption of FIN 46, there was no affect on the assets, liabilities, equity and net income of the consolidated entity as the companies were previously presented on a combined basis.
   The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc. and the VIE’s in which Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc. is deemed the primary beneficiary. All material related party balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
   Use of Estimates
   The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses durmg the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates

The Companies consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Periodically during the year, the balances may have exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limitation of $100,000 per institution.

   Inventory
   Inventory, consisting of computer software and hardware, is stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost, or market.
   Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
   The Companies use estimates to determine the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts necessary to reduce accounts receivable to its expected net realizable value. The Companies estimate the amount of the required allowance by reviewing the status of past-due receivables and analyzing historical bad debt trends. Actual collection experience has not varied significantly from estimates, due primarily to credit policies, collection experience, and a lack of concentration of accounts receivable. The Companies charge-off receivables deemed to be uncollectible to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable balances are not collateralized. The Companies have established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,342 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Based on the impairment test performed as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, no impairment existed in the value of goodwill SFAS No 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.

   Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
  

 

Software products are sometimes sold in an arrangement that includes implementation services or maintenance services Maintenance services are limited to help desk support and training. The Companies allocate the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Companies limit its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If the fair value of each element in a multiple element arrangement cannot be reliably determined, and if the fair value of any undelivered element cannot also be reliably determined, all revenue under the arrangement is deferred until such time as the only remaining undelivered element is maintenance, or in the absence of maintenance, implementation services, upon which time revenue is recognized over the remaining maintenance or service period Revenue that is deferred and recognized over a maintenance or service period is recognized in proportion to the services delivered, or ratably if no better measure of performance can be determined.

   Revenues for software product sales are recognized as revenue when four criteria are met. These four criteria are (i) a signed purchase order has been obtained (ii) delivery of the software has occurred (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) the fee is probable of collection Software product sales billed and not recognized as revenue are included in deferred revenue. The Companies generally do not require collateral for accounts receivable. The Companies provide a 30-day return policy to its customers. The Companies have historically not experienced significant returns, and accordingly, allowances for returned products are not recorded.
   Maintenance services are sold for stated periods or for stated numbers of hours Revenues are recognized ratably over the service period for arrangements to provide maintenance over a stated period. Revenues for maintenance delivered on an hourly basis are recognized as the services are delivered. Revenues from implementation and training services are recognized as the services are provided Advance payments for these services are deferred and recognized in the periods when the services are performed.
   The Companies also receive commissions from vendors for transactions in which the Companies essentially act as an agent for the vendor. In these transactions, the Companies do not take title to the product, have responsibility for the delivery of any services, or have risk of loss for collection. These commissions are recorded as revenue when earned.
   Additional Owners’ Compensation
   Included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income are year end bonus payments paid to a majority shareholder that totaled $585,588 and $450,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
   Income Taxes
   Ohio, LLC and Indiana, LLC, as limited liability companies, are not subject to income taxes. The members are required to report their respective shares of company income (loss) and other tax items on their individual income tax returns.
   As of December 31, 2004, Sterling Systems used the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
