AMERICAN CLAIMS EVALUATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
Overview
American Claims Evaluation, Inc. (together with its subsidiary, we, our, us, or the
Company) provides a comprehensive range of services to children with developmental delays and
disabilities in New York State and has developed a reputation for providing well-rounded
therapeutic solutions through our wholly owned subsidiary, Interactive Therapy Group Consultants,
Inc. (ITG).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and
therefore do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America (GAAP). In our opinion, these financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to make the consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented not
misleading. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be
achieved for a full year.
Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (the Annual Report), as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue for services rendered when there is evidence of billable time expended and
recoverability is reasonably assured. Deferred revenue is recorded for federal flow-through
funding attributable to special education programs when invoiced and recognized over the applicable
program periods.
Credit Risk
Service revenue is concentrated within a limited number of clients throughout New York State;
municipalities within New York State provide substantial and significant revenue to us. This
concentration of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or
negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
conditions in New York State. During the three month period ended December 31, 2009, we have
started to experience a delay in payments received from these municipalities as a result of the
challenging economic climate and the delay in funding to the municipalities from New York State.
Although the accounts receivable for our services are still deemed collectible, we will actively
monitor this issue when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of ITG included intangible assets with a fair
value of $605,000 on the date of the acquisition. We recorded $570,000 related to customer
contracts and $35,000 related to a non-compete covenant within intangible assets. The remaining
excess of the purchase price of $145,000 was assigned to goodwill. Customer contracts are being
amortized over a fifteen-year period and the non-compete covenant is being amortized over a
five-year period. The goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition is deductible for Federal
and New York State income tax purposes over a period of 15 years.
Intangible assets at December 31, 2009 consisted of the following:

For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, amortization expense was $58,125. Assuming no
changes in our intangible assets, estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding
fiscal years is $45,000, $45,000, $45,000, $41,208 and $38,000.
We will perform an assessment of goodwill at least annually for impairment and any such impairment
will be recognized in the period identified. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and other
intangibles, we must make various assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other
factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. If these estimates or their
related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these
assets in future periods. Any such resulting impairment charges could be material to our results
of operations.

Seasonality
Our business is moderately seasonal in nature based on the school year. Accordingly, our second
fiscal quarter (the three month period ending September 30), which includes two full months during
which schools are not in session (July and August), is the quarter in which we achieve our lowest
volume of revenues.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the maximum dilution from potential common
shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options, if dilutive, outstanding during each
period. Our net loss and weighted average shares outstanding used for computing diluted loss per
share for continuing operations and discontinued operations were the same as those used for
computing basic loss per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
because the inclusion of common stock equivalents
7
in the calculation of diluted loss per share for
continuing operations would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consisting of
employee and director stock options to purchase 1,221,000 shares as of December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, were not included in the diluted net loss per share calculations because their effect
would have been anti-dilutive.
Stock Option Plans
We account for stock-based compensation by recording stock options at their fair value on the
measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed (generally the vesting
period of the grant). There were no stock options granted during the nine month period ended
December 31, 2009. Stock-based compensation totaling $15,600 was recognized during the nine months
ended December 31, 2008 based on the fair value of stock options granted. We estimate the fair
value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
At December 31, 2009, all outstanding options to purchase shares are fully vested. However,
certain option grants contain disposition restrictions which prohibit the sale of 50% of the shares
obtained through the exercise of such awarded options until the first anniversary of the grant date
and the remaining 50% of the shares obtained through the exercise of the awarded options until the
second anniversary of the grant date. At December 31, 2009, there was no unrecognized compensation
cost related to non-vested stock option awards.

December 31, 2009:

There were no options outstanding with an exercise price less than the closing price of our
shares of $0.73 as of December 31, 2009. Accordingly, there was no intrinsic value associated with
outstanding options at such date.
Regulatory Matters
We are currently exploring alternatives to ITGs corporate structure concerning non-compliance
issues regarding the practice of certain licensed professions in the State of New York. If a
change in professional practice structure is deemed necessary, we will take all appropriate
measures to assure compliance on a timely basis. Revenues derived from services performed by these
licensed professionals approximate 21% of total revenues for the nine months ended December 31,
2009.
We received a letter of inquiry from Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with
Disabilities (VESID), an office of the New York State Education Department, dated February 3,
2010, requesting details of the Companys purchase of ITG. The Company is in the process of
preparing a response to the correspondence received from VESID.

Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative
purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements. These
reclassifications have no effect on previously reported income.
Subsequent Events
We have completed an evaluation of the impact of any subsequent events through February 12, 2010,
the date these financial statements were issued, and determined that there were no subsequent
events requiring disclosure in or adjustment to these financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Report on
Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, general economic and
market conditions and our ability to successfully identify and thereafter consummate one or more
acquisitions.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in our Annual Report. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and
estimates is included in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (the MD&A) in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the critical
accounting policies or estimates reported in the MD&A section of our audited financial statements
for the year ended March 31, 2009 as filed with the SEC.
Results of Operations Three and Nine Months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
On September 12, 2008, we completed the disposition of our wholly-owned subsidiary, RPM
Rehabilitation & Associates, Inc. (RPM). The financial statements have been reclassified to
exclude the operating results of RPM from the continuing operations and account for them as
discontinued operations. The following discussion relates only to our continuing operations,
unless otherwise noted.
Revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 were $1,734,379, an increase of
approximately 20.5% over the $1,439,638 reported for the three month period ended December 31,
2008. This growth was generated from each of our three main areas of clinical services and program
development; Early intervention programs, preschool programs and school staffing services achieved
increases of approximately 9.1%, 10.3% and 50.8%, respectively, during the current three month
period over the prior years comparable period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we
recognized revenues of $4,959,375 as compared to revenues of $1,687,328 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2008. Results for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 only reflect revenues from
ITGs services since we acquired ITG on September 12, 2008.
Cost of services as a percentage of revenues for the three and nine month periods ended December
31, 2009 were approximately 71.1% and 70.1%, respectively. During the three and nine month periods
ended December 31, 2008, the cost of services was approximately 70.7% as a percentage of revenues
for each of the periods. The cost of services as a percentage of revenues in the current quarterly
period increased as a
9
result of the hiring of additional clinicians at slightly higher salaries to
meet increased demand for services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended December
31, 2009 were $768,225 and $2,151,649, respectively, as compared to $670,230 and $1,131,841 for the
three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2008, respectively. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the current fiscal year versus the prior years comparable
periods is the result of expenses incurred by ITGs operations and the recording of amortization
expense for intangible assets resulting from the ITG acquisition. In addition, payroll costs have
increased in the current quarterly period over the prior years quarter as a result of an increase
in its administrative staff in ITGs New York City office. The new hires are responsible for
marketing our services in an effort to stimulate growth. Excluding ITGs expenses, corporate
selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009
experienced a slight decrease over the comparable period in the prior year.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 was $1,717 and $9,525,
respectively, as compared to interest income of $27,200 and $104,906 for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 2008, respectively. The decrease in interest income was a result of a
substantial decline in prevailing interest rates compounded by a reduction in cash balances
available for investment due to the cash used to purchase ITG and subsequent repayment of ITGs
bank debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2009, we had working capital of $3,986,345 as compared to working capital of
$4,559,015 at March 31, 2009. We believe that we have sufficient cash resources and working
capital to meet our present cash requirements.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $891,236,
predominately attributable to the operating loss of $659,790 and an increase in our outstanding
accounts receivable of $354,241.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, cash flows provided by investing activities related to
the repayment of a receivable from the former shareholders of ITG and the return of funds held in
escrow.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable capital and operating leases and subleases,
exclusive of future escalation charges, for the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010

While we have not experienced any significant impact on our net revenues and profitability
from the general slowdown of the economy or current global credit crisis, the continuing economic
deterioration could have a negative impact in future periods.

Item 3.
|
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
|
We are subject to interest rate risks that arise from normal business operations. Most of our cash
and cash equivalents are invested at variable rates of interest and decreases in market interest
rates have caused a related significant reduction in our interest income over prior periods.

|
|
Item 4T.
|
|
Controls and Procedures.
|
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure the reliability of the financial
statements and other disclosures included in this Report. As of the end of the fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, 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 pursuant to
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.
We are aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees
dealing with general administrative and financial reporting matters. However, we have decided that
considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, risks associated with such
lack of segregation are mitigated by active management involvement and the potential benefits of
adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such
increases.
