The GMI Accounting and Governance Risk (AGR) rating is a comprehensive measure of corporate
integrity, based on an extensive evaluation of metrics which study financial results and corporate
behavior. Updated quarterly, the AGR percentile score ranges from 1 - 100, with lower scores
representing greater risks; the worst 10% of companies will receive "Very Aggressive" ratings.
RISK MODELS
published on Aug 31, 2012
EQUITY RISK FACTOR
Neutral
Companies with an Equity Risk Factor ranking of
3, as a group, have had market neutral returns
OTHER KEY RISKS
Litigation Risk: Medium Risk
.2% probability of a shareholder Securities Litigation within
the next year
Restatement Risk: Medium Risk
1.3% probability that the current quarter (fiscal 2012 Q-3)
financial statements will be materially restated in the future
The above ranking(s) are from statistical models based on
the GMI AGR, and are updated quarterly to reflect the latest
available information. The Equity Risk Factor is based
solely on the AGR Score, and as such is a unique measure
of equity risk.
The Litigation and Restatement Risk Factors are also
impacted by company size, industry and recent stock
performance. These risk factors are used by insurance
companies and auditors, among others, to identify
companies at risk.

Industry: IT Services / Consulting Market Cap: USD 13.2mm (Nano Cap) Period End: Jun 30, 2012
Metric Definitions: The definitions below are for Metrics that GMI has "flagged" as being of concern for potential misreporting. GMI determines
Flagged Metrics based on a statistical review of corporate fraud cases to identify Metrics most predictive of fraud and abuse. These Metrics are
analyzed for each company, to identify extreme values and flag the outliers. A high number of Flagged Metrics leads to a low (poor) AGR Score.
The AGR Impact number indicates the points deducted for each Flagged Metric.
GOVERNANCE
Metric Name / Metric Relevance AGR Impact
Corporate Governance Events 40.6%
Officer: Chairman is also CEO 21.6%
Although many exceptional companies are managed at the top by a joint Chairman-CEO, the lack of separation in these positions is cause for
concern as a corporate governance choice. Chairman-CEOs represent one of the most extreme cases of lack of independence between a company's
Board and its executive officers. All things equal, it is far superior to have as few insiders on the Board of Directors as possible, particularly in the top
positions.
Officer Changes 19%
A high degree of officer turnover in a company is a red flag for corporate governance problems. Reasonably low levels of officer turnover are
desirable in public companies in order to preserve the institutional knowledge inside the organization. Although some turnover is normal, a higher
rate of officer turnover carries with it a higher probability of irregularities including those related to accounting practices.
High Risk Events
No Flagged Metrics
ACCOUNTING
Metric Name / Metric Relevance AGR Impact
Revenue Recognition 29.3%
Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold 15.4%
Comparably large inventories is a red flag for revenue recognition issues. Also, many improper asset valuations involve the fraudulent overstatement
of inventory. Inventory can be manipulated through a number of schemes such as: falsified or fictitious inventory count, obsolete/scrap inventory not
reserved for, inventory not valued at LCM, consigned inventory not properly accounted for, overpricing of inventory costs, or a transfer of expenses
out of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) into the inventory balance.
Accounts Receivable/Sales 13.9%
Accounts receivable build-ups can signal a broad range of revenue recognition issues. Unusual increases in accounts receivable relative to revenues
may indicate questionable revenues. Similarly, large accounts receivable may indicate underreserving for uncollectible or doubtful accounts. High
ratios of receivables to sales, particularly in combination with inventory build-ups, underfunded unearned revenue accounts, or other evidence of
account manipulation can in total indicate high risks of revenue recognition problems.
Expense Recognition 12.9%
Selling G&A Expenses/Operating Expense 12.9%
Comparably low SG&A expenses is a red flag for expense recognition issues. Management may manipulate these expenses in many ways: through
the intentional underaccruing of expenses; by offsetting the expenses against operating expenses in one of the liability "reserve" accounts; by
capitalizing SG&A expenses (on the Balance Sheet) instead of recording them as operating expenses; or by netting a gain from a sale of affiliate
against SG&A expense, artificially lowering recurring expenses.
Asset-Liability Valuation 17.2%
Long-Term Investments/Assets 17.2%
Comparably high long-term investment values is a red flag for overvalued assets. Such an overvaluation most commonly would result from a
misclassification of the investment. A company may classify its residual ownership in a publicly offered equity holding as "trading" securities, rather
than as "available for sale" securities, and consequently recognize a gain on the unrealized appreciation of that holding. By selecting the "trading"
designation, a company may be able to immediately mark the securities up to the higher market value and record the additional increase as a gain in
the current period.

About the Firm
GMI is an independent risk research firm that provides a statistically modeled assessment of corporate integrity. Founded in 2002 in direct response to the growing number of scandals, lawsuits, and investor losses resulting from fraudulent corporate behavior, the firm identifies potentially high-risk company accounting and governance activity that has been historically correlated to stock price declines, securities class-action litigation, and material financial restatements.
The product of GMI's analysis is a unique risk measure called the AGR® Score. This measure can be used by investors as a way to more effectively manage corporate risk.
Methodology
The firm uses a proprietary methodology that integrates extensive public data channels and advanced statistical modeling techniques to provide deep insight into a company's financial disclosure and governance practices and to expose associated risks. It operates several quantitative models that provide risk ratings. Extensive academic and third-party research has validated the Accounting and Governance Risk (AGR) Score as an effective and independent variable in determining investment returns.
Coverage
GMI forensically analyzes the financial reporting and governance practices of more than 8,500 North American-based publicly traded companies spanning all market capitalizations and industries.
Companies are required to have financial statements filed with the SEC for at least five quarters, including the current quarter in order to have an AGR rating calculated. Publicly traded companies with inactive ratings are classified as Delinquent Filers (no current SEC filings available) or Rating Pending (SEC filing available, but missing or problematic data preventing calculation of AGR.)
What's Provided on Fidelity.com
Risk Ratings, Reports & Screen Criteria
Accounting and Governance Risk (AGR®) Ratings: GMI's flagship Accounting and Governance Risk (AGR) Score is widely recognized as a confidence level indicator for the company's management and reported financials. Scores range from 0 to 100, which correspond to a risk rating for each company ranging from "Very Aggressive" to "Conservative." Effectively, all companies start with a perfect score of 100, and get points deducted for every failed accounting and governance test. The AGR tests have been designed based on an extensive statistical review of SEC fraud cases - i.e., they have been found to be predictive of fraud or financial manipulation.
Through continued back-testing, GMI has demonstrated a strong correlation between its quarterly AGR ratings and the likelihood of adverse events, including securities class action litigation, financial restatements, regulatory enforcement actions and stock price declines. AGR ratings can help investors looking to manage risk or enhance investment performance. In fact, companies that have a "Very Aggressive" AGR have a higher risk probability of facing negative events when compared to "Conservative" rated companies.
Companies rated "Very Aggressive" under AGR have historically been:
10 times more likely to face SEC enforcement actions
6 times more likely to delay financial reporting
5 times more likely to face securities litigation
4 times more likely to file for bankruptcy
2 times more likely to deal with executive officer change
AGR Equity Risk Factor: Extensive internal and third-party research demonstrates a distinct correlation between AGR Ratings and a variety of high-risk events. The Equity Risk Factor is derived from the AGR Score and provides a leading indication of share price performance. It ranks companies from 1 to 5 (worst to best) and observes a consistent and pronounced spread in annual returns between high risk and low risk companies.
In-Depth Company Reports: GMI provides comprehensive reports on 8,500+ North American-based publicly traded companies. Reports include in-depth risk analysis of each company's financial reporting and governance practices, and examine risk metrics in five broad categories: Revenue Recognition, Expense Recognition, Asset-Liability Valuation, High-Risk Events and Corporate Governance. A company's risk profile is based on a statistical comparison of its current risk metrics with those of peer companies and prior reporting periods. AGR Scores and Ratings are updated quarterly after financial statements are filed. The reports are updated if applicable with AGR Watch or recent "high risk" events that could potentially have a negative impact on the next quarter AGR Score.
Advance Search Criteria: AGR Score and AGR Equity Risk Factor allow you to screen companies for "Conservative" to "Very Aggressive" corporate behavior and lowest to highest expected return as a result of their accounting and governance practices.
