The Company was established in 2003 and is headquartered in West Chester, Ohio, with satellite offices in: Clearwater and Delray Beach, Florida; and Charlotte, North Carolina.
 
In 2013 the Company established Advantage RN Local Staffing, LLC, a subsidiary wholly owned by Advantage RN, LLC. Advantage RN Local Staffing, LLC is a specialty staffing company employing healthcare professionals for local assignments at hospitals and other medical facilities across the country.
 
In 2011 the Company established Advantage On Call, LLC, a subsidiary wholly owned by Advantage RN, LLC. Advantage On Call, LLC is a specialty staffing company employing healthcare professionals for per diem nurses, therapy and government assignments at hospitals and other medical facilities across the country and operates out of various satellite offices in: San Diego, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Centerville, Ohio; Tustin, California; and Sacramento, California. Advantage On Call, LLC is an expansion of the Company’s nurse staffing business line.
 
In 2009 the Company established Advantage Locums, LLC, a subsidiary wholly owned by Advantage RN, LLC. Advantage Locums, LLC operates out of Salt Lake City, Utah and provides locum tenens (temporary physician substitute) for hospitals, clinics and medical practices.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advantage RN, LLC, Advantage Locums, LLC, Advantage On Call, LLC and Advantage RN Local Staffing, LLC. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
The Company is organized under the limited liability company laws of the State of Ohio. The rights and obligations of the equity holders of the Company (the Members) are governed by an Operating Agreement (the Agreement) as amended and restated on September 30, 2008. The Company does not have a termination date. Profits of the Company are allocated among all of the Members, in accordance with their percentage interests, based upon the number of total units (Class A and B) of the Company each Member owns. Losses are allocated to the Class A Member. The management of the Company and all decisions concerning the business affairs of the Company are specified to be made by the Class A Member (the Manager). Cash, when available, is distributed to the Members, as determined by the Manager, at his sole discretion. The Agreement provides for mandatory annual distributions to each Member equal to the state and federal income tax owed by each Member, as a result of the Member’s ownership interest in the Company, to the extent the Company has cash available.
 
The Agreement also provides that no Member shall be bound by, or be personally liable for the expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Company. The liability of each Member shall be limited solely to the Member’s investment in the Company. No Member shall be obligated to restore any negative capital account balance.
 
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash
 
For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash consists of cash on deposit that can be redeemed on demand. The Company maintains its cash balances, which at times may exceed federally insured limits, with a high credit quality financial institution.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Risk
 
Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s customers are primarily hospitals and medical centers throughout the United States. Accounts receivable represent amounts due from these institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company has elected to record bad debts using the direct write-off method. GAAP require that the allowance method be used to recognize bad debts; however, the effect of using the direct write-off method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained under the allowance method. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an on-going review of collectibility as well as management’s past experience with the customer. If amounts become uncollectible they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company had bad debt expense of $42,000 and $10,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s contract terms generally specify payment in seven to forty-five days. Receivables are considered past due based on the particular negotiated contract terms. Overall, based on the large number of customers in differing geographic areas throughout the United States, the Company believes the concentration of credit risk is limited.
 
The Company’s accounts receivable have been pledged as collateral under terms of the Company’s various credit agreements.
 
Unbilled Receivables
 
Unbilled receivables represent revenues earned in the current period but not yet billed to the customer.
 
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements which substantially increase the life of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At retirement or sale, the costs of the assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains and losses are included in income. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using accelerated and straight-line methods for financial statement purposes. The estimated useful lives are: five years for vehicles; three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment; and three to ten years for leasehold improvements. Depreciation expense was $58,165 and $57,786 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue consists of temporary staffing revenue. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $123,467 and $135,866 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated subsequent events through September 15, 2017, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Income Taxes
 
As a limited liability company, the Company’s federal taxable income or loss is allocated to Members in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Therefore, the financial statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes.
 
Management is not aware of any tax positions taken by the Company on its tax returns that they consider to be uncertain. Tax returns for the years ended 2014, 2015 and 2016 are still open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
The company records penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in operating expenses. No such penalties or interest were recognized at June 30, 2017 or 2016.
 
Note 3. Lease Agreements
 
The Company leases operating and office facilities for various terms under non-cancellable operating lease agreements that expire at various dates. Rent expense totaled $212,954 and $186,746 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Future minimum lease payments are: 2017 - $159,405; 2018 - $190,251; 2019 - $145,171; 2020 - $148,097; and 2021 - $49,691.
 
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance on accounting for leases, which generally requires all leases to be recognized by the Company in the statement of financial position by recording an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and recording a liability, which represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments. The provisions of this guidance are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. These provisions are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Note 4. Employee Benefit Plans
 
The Company offers a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees and allows for discretionary matching contributions from the Company. Employer contributions totaled $161,577 and $120,761 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
The Company is partially self-insured for medical benefits provided to employees. The Company uses a third-party administrator to process claims and handle other duties of the plan. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance policies that generally limit total medical claims to $150,000 per individual and $1,000,000 maximum aggregate payments for the Company. The Company has established a liability for outstanding claims as well as incurred but unreported claims. While management uses what it believes are pertinent factors in estimating the plan liability, the actual liability is subject to change based upon unexpected claims experience and fluctuations in enrollment during the plan year. At June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a liability for self-insured medical expenses of approximately $140,000 and $240,000, respectively.
 
Note 5. Line of Credit
 
The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank that allows borrowings up to $10,000,000, bears interest at the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 2.125% (3.35% and 2.90% at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively), is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, and is guaranteed by the managing member of the Company. The balances due on the note were $4,643,508 and $1,878,940 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The line matures in July 2018.

Note 10. Settlements and Prior Years Expenses-Nonoperational
 
Settlements and prior years expenses represent nonrecurring and prior years expenses to resolve various customer billing and payroll issues and differences with certain members and employees of the Company, insurance claims, and audits in certain states. Settlements totaled $550,876 and $223,123 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
Note 11. Contingencies
 
The Company is self-insured for its workers’ compensation claims in certain states. The Company carries excess workers’ compensation and employers’ liability insurance that requires a $250,000 Company retention per incident. The policy also provided excess employer liability insurance of $1,000,000 per incident or in aggregate per policy year. The Company has established a liability for outstanding claims as well as incurred but unreported claims. While management uses what it believes are pertinent factors in estimating the liability, the actual liability is subject to change based upon unexpected claims experience and fluctuations in enrollment during the plan year. At June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a liability for self-insured workers’ compensation expenses of approximately $115,000 and $117,000, respectively.
 
Periodically the Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, the aggregate effects of which, in management’s and legal counsel’s opinion, would not be material to the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
 
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has examined the Company’s treatment of travel expenses paid to nurses in the form of per diem reimbursements. As part of this examination, the IRS has proposed a recharacterization of these reimbursements to gross wages for certain tax periods in 2009 and 2010. The Company disagrees with this proposal and intends to vigorously defend its original characterization. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending its position it could be liable for certain payroll taxes and federal income tax withholding on the amount recharacterized. The Company believes that it will be able to prevail and that an unfavorable outcome is not likely. However, if an unfavorable outcome were to occur, the Company could potentially experience a loss that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows, and results of operations. The Company is unable to estimate a potential loss or range of potential losses in the unlikely event of an unfavorable outcome.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
 
To The Members
Advantage RN, LLC and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advantage RN, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.
 
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditor’s Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Advantage RN, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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.

For Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
 
Note 1. Organization

The Company was established in 2003 and is headquartered in West Chester, Ohio, with satellite offices in: Clearwater and Delray Beach, Florida; and Charlotte, North Carolina.
 
In 2013 the Company established Advantage RN Local Staffing, LLC, a subsidiary wholly owned by Advantage RN, LLC. Advantage RN Local Staffing, LLC is a specialty staffing company employing healthcare professionals for local assignments at hospitals and other medical facilities across the country.
 
In 2011 the Company established Advantage On Call, LLC, a subsidiary wholly owned by Advantage RN, LLC. Advantage On Call, LLC is a specialty staffing company employing healthcare professionals for per diem nurses, therapy and government assignments at hospitals and other medical facilities across the country and operates out of various satellite offices in: San Diego, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Centerville, Ohio; Tustin, California; and Sacramento, California. Advantage On Call, LLC is an expansion of the Company’s nurse staffing business line.
 
In 2009 the Company established Advantage Locums, LLC, a subsidiary wholly owned by Advantage RN, LLC. Advantage Locums, LLC operates out of Salt Lake City, Utah and provides locum tenens (temporary physician substitute) for hospitals, clinics and medical practices.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advantage RN, LLC, Advantage Locums, LLC, Advantage On Call, LLC and Advantage RN Local Staffing, LLC. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
The Company is organized under the limited liability company laws of the State of Ohio. The rights and obligations of the equity holders of the Company (the Members) are governed by an Operating Agreement (the Agreement) as amended and restated on September 30, 2008. The Company does not have a termination date. Profits of the Company are allocated among all of the Members, in accordance with their percentage interests, based upon the number of total units (Class A and B) of the Company each Member owns. Losses are allocated to the Class A Member. The management of the Company and all decisions concerning the business affairs of the Company are specified to be made by the Class A Member (the Manager). Cash, when available, is distributed to the Members, as determined by the Manager, at his sole discretion. The Agreement provides for mandatory annual distributions to each Member equal to the state and federal income tax owed by each Member, as a result of the Member’s ownership interest in the Company, to the extent the Company has cash available.
 
The Agreement also provides that no Member shall be bound by, or be personally liable for the expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Company. The liability of each Member shall be limited solely to the Member’s investment in the Company. No Member shall be obligated to restore any negative capital account balance.
 
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash
 
For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash consists of cash on deposit that can be redeemed on demand. The Company maintains its cash balances, which at times may exceed federally insured limits, with a high credit quality financial institution.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Risk
 
Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s customers are primarily hospitals and medical centers throughout the United States. Accounts receivable represent amounts due from these institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company has elected to record bad debts using the direct write-off method. GAAP require that the allowance method be used to recognize bad debts; however, the effect of using the direct write-off method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained under the allowance method. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an on-going review of collectibility as well as management’s past experience with the customer. If amounts become uncollectible they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company had bad debt expense of $52,548 and $25,387 in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s contract terms generally specify payment in seven to forty-five days. Receivables are considered past due based on the particular negotiated contract terms. Overall, based on the large number of customers in differing geographic areas throughout the United States, the Company believes the concentration of credit risk is limited.
 
The Company’s accounts receivable have been pledged as collateral under terms of the Company’s various credit agreements.
 
Unbilled Receivables
 
Unbilled receivables represent revenues earned in the current period but not yet billed to the customer.
 
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements which substantially increase the life of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At retirement or sale, the costs of the assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains and losses are included in income. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using accelerated and straight-line methods for financial statement purposes. The estimated useful lives are: five years for vehicles; three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment; and three to ten years for leasehold improvements. Depreciation expense was $122,149 and $117,881 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue consists of temporary staffing revenue. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $253,877 and $244,439 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated subsequent events through April 19, 2017, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Income Taxes
 
As a limited liability company, the Company’s federal taxable income or loss is allocated to Members in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Therefore, the financial statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes.
 
Management is not aware of any tax positions taken by the Company on its tax returns that they consider to be uncertain. Tax returns for the years ended 2013, 2014 and 2015 are still open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
The company records penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in operating expenses. No such penalties or interest were recognized in 2016 or 2015.
 
Note 3. Lease Agreements
 
The Company leases operating and office facilities for various terms under non-cancellable operating lease agreements that expire at various dates. Rent expense totaled $406,522 and $398,907 during 2016 and 2015, respectively. Future minimum lease payments are: 2017 - $295,219; 2018 - $190,251; 2019 - $145,171; 2020 - $148,097; and 2021 - $49,691.
 
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance on accounting for leases, which generally requires all leases to be recognized by the Company in the statement of financial position by recording an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and recording a liability, which represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments. The provisions of this guidance are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. These provisions are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Note 4. Employee Benefit Plans
 
The Company offers a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees and allows for discretionary matching contributions from the Company. Employer contributions totaled $273,540 and $197,789 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
The Company is partially self-insured for medical benefits provided to employees. The Company uses a third-party administrator to process claims and handle other duties of the plan. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance policies that generally limit total medical claims to $150,000 per individual and $1,000,000 maximum aggregate payments for the Company. The Company has established a liability for outstanding claims as well as incurred but unreported claims. While management uses what it believes are pertinent factors in estimating the plan liability, the actual liability is subject to change based upon unexpected claims experience and fluctuations in enrollment during the plan year. At December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a liability for self-insured medical expenses of approximately $240,000 and $0, respectively.
 
Note 5. Line of Credit
 
The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank that allows borrowings up to $10,000,000, bears interest at the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 2.125% (2.90% and 2.55% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively), is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, and is guaranteed by the managing member of the Company. The balances due on the note were $1,878,940 and $5,567,117 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The line matures in July 2017.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
 
Note 10. Settlements and Prior Years Expenses-Nonoperational
 
Settlements and prior years expenses represent nonrecurring and prior years expenses to resolve various customer billing and payroll issues and differences with certain members and employees of the Company, insurance claims, and audits in certain states. Settlements totaled $472,555 and $488,659 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
Note 11. Contingencies
 
The Company is self-insured for its workers’ compensation claims in certain states. The Company carries excess workers’ compensation and employers’ liability insurance that requires a $250,000 Company retention per incident. The policy also provided excess employer liability insurance of $1,000,000 per incident or in aggregate per policy year. The Company has established a liability for outstanding claims as well as incurred but unreported claims. While management uses what it believes are pertinent factors in estimating the liability, the actual liability is subject to change based upon unexpected claims experience and fluctuations in enrollment during the plan year. At December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a liability for self-insured workers’ compensation expenses of approximately $117,000 and $69,000, respectively.
 
Periodically the Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, the aggregate effects of which, in management’s and legal counsel’s opinion, would not be material to the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
 
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has examined the Company’s treatment of travel expenses paid to nurses in the form of per diem reimbursements. As part of this examination, the IRS has proposed a recharacterization of these reimbursements to gross wages for certain tax periods in 2009 and 2010. The Company disagrees with this proposal and intends to vigorously defend its original characterization. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending its position it could be liable for certain payroll taxes and federal income tax withholding on the amount recharacterized. The Company believes that it will be able to prevail and that an unfavorable outcome is not likely. However, if an unfavorable outcome were to occur, the Company could potentially experience a loss that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows, and results of operations. The Company is unable to estimate a potential loss or range of potential losses in the unlikely event of an unfavorable outcome.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
 
To The Members
Advantage RN, LLC and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advantage RN, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.
 
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditor’s Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Advantage RN, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.

The Company is organized under the limited liability company laws of the State of Ohio. The rights and obligations of the equity holders of the Company (the Members) are governed by an Operating Agreement (the Agreement) as amended and restated on September 30, 2008. The Company does not have a termination date. Profits of the Company are allocated among all of the Members, in accordance with their percentage interests, based upon the number of total units (Class A and B) of the Company each Member owns. Losses are allocated to the Class A Member. The management of the Company and all decisions concerning the business affairs of the Company are specified to be made by the Class A Member (the Manager). Cash, when available, is distributed to the Members, as determined by the Manager, at his sole discretion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash
 
For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash consists of cash on deposit that can be redeemed on demand. The Company maintains its cash balances, which at times may exceed federally insured limits, with a high quality financial institution.
 
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Risk
 
Accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s customers are primarily hospitals and medical centers throughout the United States. Accounts receivable represent amounts due from these institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company has elected to record bad debts using the direct write-off method. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the allowance method be used to recognize bad debts; however, the effect of using the direct write-off method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained under the allowance method. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an on-going review of collectibility as well as management’s past experience with the customer. If amounts become uncollectible they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company had bad debt expense of $25,387 and $151,641 in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s contract terms generally specify payment in seven to forty-five days. Receivables are considered past due based on the particular negotiated contract terms. Overall, based on the large number of customers in differing geographic areas throughout the United States, the Company believes the concentration of credit risk is limited.
 
Unbilled Receivables
 
Unbilled receivables represent revenues earned in the current period but not yet billed to the customer.
 
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements which substantially increase the life of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At retirement or sale, the costs of the assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains and losses are included in income. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using accelerated and straight-line methods for financial statement purposes. The estimated useful lives are: five years for vehicles; three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment; and three to ten years for leasehold improvements. Depreciation expense was $117,881 and $90,316 for 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company’s 2009 and 2010 payroll taxes are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Company has various legal costs that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Legal expenses are included in other income (expense) on the statements of income and totaled $54,870 and $621,195 in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Note 10. Organizational Costs
 
Organizational costs are costs associated with establishing new office locations, closing old offices, and the purchase of nurse and hospital contracts from other travel nursing companies. Organizational costs charged to operations totaled $116,036 and $75,208 for 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Note 11. Settlements
 
Settlements represent nonrecurring expenses to resolve various issues and differences with certain members and employees of the Company, insurance claims, and audits in certain states. Settlements totaled $488,659 and $820,637 in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Note 12. Assessments, Claims and Litigation
 
The Company is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. If management believes that a loss arising from such claims and legal proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss (including estimated legal costs). As management becomes aware of additional information concerning such contingencies, any potential liability related to those matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based upon currently available information and with the advice of counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of its current claims and legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Exhibit 99.4
 
Cross Country Healthcare, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
 
On July 5, 2017, Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company” or “CCH”) completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and business of Advantage RN, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Advantage”), effective July 1, 2017, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2017, among the Company, Advantage and certain of the members of Advantage (the “Acquisition”). The Company acquired Advantage for a purchase price of $88 million, subject to a final net working capital adjustment. At closing, the Company paid $86.8 million, net of cash acquired, using $19.9 million in available cash and $66.9 million in borrowings under its Credit Facility, including a $40 million incremental term loan. The amount paid at closing was subject to an initial net working capital adjustment of $0.6 million, and an additional $0.6 million was deferred and is due to the sellers within 20 months, less any COBRA and health care expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of the sellers. The Company expects to receive $0.8 million as a purchase price adjustment on its final net working capital settlement.
 
The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method. The results of Advantage’s operations will be included in the consolidated statements of operations from its date of acquisition.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017, gives effect to the acquisition as if the transaction had occurred at January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2017. The historical information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of Advantage and the Company, giving effect to the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed combined financial information. A preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the pro forma balance sheet and income statements. Other identifiable intangible assets such as trade names, databases, customer relationships, and noncompete agreements were assigned useful lives ranging between 5-12 years for the purpose of estimating amortization expense used in the pro forma adjustments. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed its valuation analysis and may differ materially from the preliminary allocations used in the pro forma adjustments reflected herein. The final allocations may include (1) changes in the net realizable value of accounts receivable and the fair value of property and equipment, (2) changes in the allocations to intangible assets such as trade names, databases, customer relationships, and noncompete agreements, as well as goodwill, and (3) changes in the fair values of other assets and liabilities.
 
The unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the combined results of operations that actually would have taken place if transactions had occurred on such dates. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings or operating synergies that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition or the costs to integrate the operations of Advantage with the Company.
