About this file
This document is a Cost Response submitted by Opus Inspection, Inc. for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program. The program will manage and implement vehicle emission and safety testing, including developing and managing the inspection station network, inspection protocols, and acquiring and maintaining the inspection station equipment and data systems. Opus Inspection proposes a base bid of $32,120,000 for 4.4 million annual inspections over a 5-year contract term, with additional per-inspection fees for volumes beyond 4.4 million per year. The cost response includes details on inspection station workstation costs, maintenance fees, training costs, and additional program costs such as field inspector tablets, the VISITS application, and communications services. Opus Inspection also provided details on their financial qualifications, including audited financial statements, no bankruptcy declaration, and a breakdown of their cost proposal.
The cost response outlines Opus Inspection's strategy to exclusively provide the test equipment to the Massachusetts Vehicle Network, which they believe will result in the most advantageous approach in terms of cost, reliability, and service. Opus Inspection has also identified potential cost increases associated with allowing third-party equipment vendors, including higher equipment prices and the need for additional certification and oversight by the agencies.

1.4 Costs Associated with Outside Equipment
Vendors (RFR 3.3.4) The most advantageous equipment provision strategy for this program is to have the
Contractor, Opus Inspection, Inc. exclusively provide test equipment to the Massachusetts
Vehicle Network. Equipment procured and maintained by Opus Inspection will be guaranteed to meet all of the specifications for operational accuracy, connectivity, and reliability. While equipment from third party vendors will be required to meet the same connectivity standards and protocols listed above for Opus Inspection supplied equipment, reliability for third party equipment cannot be ensured.
Cost Implication: Third party equipment prices will be 15% - 25% higher due to the smaller volume expectations.
In addition, authorized third party equipment vendors will be required to design their software according to detailed functional and technical specifications developed by Opus
Inspection. Those specifications will include a communication protocol for connecting to the network and securely communicating with the VID. If the Agencies wish to delegate the responsibility, Opus Inspection will offer ATP services for a fee to third party vendors as a requirement for certification to allow connectivity to the network. If not, the Agencies will incur additional expense in managing third party equipment vendors due to testing and certification compliance, specification interpretations, and oversight of software upgrades.
Cost Implication: Increased cost to the Commonwealth of $60,000 – $75,000 for
ATP/Compliance Certification services per third-party vendor.
Opus Inspection has agreed to several SLA’s associated with timely response for service issues which third party vendors may have difficulty meeting which will burden the Agencies with administrative actions. The larger concern is the impact that poor service from the third party vendor will have on the program.
Cost Implication: Poor service performance from a third-party vendor can have irreparable impact on the Program and Contractor’s reputation outside of the Contractor’s control.
In order to keep equipment costs low, a Contractor will amortize all of its associated equipment development over the entire network rather than an anticipated subset of that network.
Any uncertainty in the Contractor’s market share of the network will result in pushing those costs to the inspection fee or making assumptions in the Workstation pricing that dictate contingency which in either case, increases the price.
Cost Implication: The Contractor equipment cost will increase by approximately 10% -
15%.
To keep maintenance costs as low as possible, a Contractor will want to leverage a larger purchasing base for not only for the hardware components but any spare parts and consumable supplies needed for maintenance and service activities. It’s important to also recognize that consumables from third party vendors will most certainly be more expensive to the inspection station since the Contractor will provide those consumables as part of its monthly maintenance fee.
Cost Implication: The Contractor will need to amortize its maintenance costs over a smaller network due to non-variable costs such as field service techs, vehicles, etc. Potential impact is approximately 10 – 15% increase in maintenance fee to stations. Stations that purchase third-party equipment will now have to pay for consumables directly.

Auditor's Responsibility
Opinion
March 30, 2016
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Opus Inspection, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
(continued)
Income taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled
Basis of presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). References to GAAP in the footnotes are to the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" or "the Codification").
Basis of accounting - The consolidating financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables and other liabilities.
Use of estimates - The preparation of the consolidated 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.
Estimates are used in determining amounts reported in the financial statements including allowances for accounts receivable and inventories, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Other significant estimates include fixed asset lives, intangible asset lives, goodwill and intangible asset recoverability, warranty accruals, deferred revenue recoverability, self-insurance claims and others.
Risks and uncertainties - Operating performance may be affected by prevailing economic conditions, governmental regulations regarding vehicle emissions, business conditions and other factors. The market for the Company's services is substantially dependent on state and federal legislation and regulations mandating air pollution controls and vehicle emissions testing. In order to retain its market share, the Company must continue to successfully compete for new contracts and renewal of existing contracts.
Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Marketing Expenses - Marketing costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,128 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Company follows the provision of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes from FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the entity’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable taxing authority.
For 2015, management has determined that there are no material uncertain income tax positions. Tax years that remain subject to examination are years 2012 and forward.

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
(continued)
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts - The Company considers receivables that are aged less than sixty days to be current due to the nature of their contract billings. Accounts past sixty days are considered past due, and those past ninety days are considered to be delinquent. Management pursues overdue accounts on a case by case basis depending on various criteria such as the nature of the contract, previous payment history and other factors. The Company does not accrue interest on accounts receivable or require collateral. Management only writes off accounts when all possibilities for collection have been exhausted. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $504 at December 31, 2015.
Revenue for fixed price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on the proportion of total cost incurred on a contract to total estimated cost. Revenue from services provided in advance of billings is included in unbilled accounts receivable. We anticipate all of the amounts on the balance sheet will be collected during the 2016 fiscal year. As of December 31, 2015 costs in excess of billings totaled $1,333 and unbilled accounts receivable totaled $312.
Inventories - The Company states inventories at the lower of cost or market on the average cost basis. An allowance is provided for obsolete and slow-moving inventory to write costs down to net realizable value.
Revisions in contract revenue and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period they become known. The Company evaluates both revenue and cost projections based on evolving business conditions to refine estimates used in profit recognition. As events evolve, it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate may occur.
Revenue recognition - Revenue for equipment sales are recognized upon shipment provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, payment terms are fixed and determinable, and collection of the related receivable is considered probable. Revenue from rentals are recognized monthly, as payments are received, over the life of the contracts.
Revenue from vehicle test fees is recognized in the period in which applicable test and other services are performed. Payments received in advance for test fees are deferred and recognized in income when the tests are performed. Revenue for warranty and services contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
Property and equipment - Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are expensed.
Shipping and handling - The Company includes the cost of shipping and handling in the price to customers and includes the amounts billed in sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold. Fees for rental units shipped are added to the capitalized asset value.
Long-lived assets including property, plant, equipment, and intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When determined necessary, this evaluation is performed to record impairment for the amount of carrying value in excess of fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, appraisals, and quoted marked prices.
(US dollars in thousands)
Software 3-7 years
Computer hardware 3-7 years
Machinery and equipment 5-7 years
Buildings 15-30 years
Leasehold improvements 28.5 years or lease term
Depreciation - Depreciation of fixed assets is computed on straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or lease terms.
The Company has elected to perform an annual impairment test for goodwill at the end of each year. Additionally, the Company reviews goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, no impairment loss has been recorded.
Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
(continued)
Goodwill and intangible assets - According to Generally Accepted Accounting Standards, management reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or sooner if a specific triggering event occurs. Other finite intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Loan origination fees - The Company capitalizes loan origination fees and amortizes them over the life of the loan. Amortization of loan fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1. Estimated amortization for each the next 5 years is $1.
Deferred warranty revenue - Contracts may include provisions obligating the Company to provide programming support after installation is complete. In addition, hardware provided as a part of certain contracts and equipment sales carries a warranty which is also included as a warranty reserve. The warranty revenue is amortized over the life of the warranty period, usually 12 months. Costs incurred for warranty repairs are expensed in the period incurred.
Changes in the deferred warranty reserve are reported in the results of operations in the year in which they occur.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets totaled $7,289 as of December 31, 2015.
Foreign currency transactions - Opus Inspection, Inc., the parent company of the subsidiaries, makes its principal investing and financing transactions in United States Dollars (USD), which is also its functional currency. Transactions and balances denominated in other currencies have been translated into USD using historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses from holding foreign currencies and having liabilities payable in foreign currencies are included in the results of operations.
The Mexican Peso (MXN) is the functional currency of the operating subsidiary ESP Mexico, the Chilean Peso (CLP) is the functional currency of the operating subsidiary SysTech Chile, Ltda., and the Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN) is the functional currency of the operating subsidiary Systech Peruana, SRL. Their respective balance sheets have been translated into USD at the exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Their respective statements of operations have been translated into USD using the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods of each statement. The corresponding translation adjustments are part of accumulated other comprehensive income and are shown as part of members’ equity.

Note 3 -
Acquisitions
In July 2015 the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of inventory which changes the measurement principle of inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable cots of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016
In November 2015 the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the separate classification of deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. The guidance require all differed tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet, and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017.
In February 2016 the FASB issued lease guidance which requires that lease arrangements longer than 12 months result in an entity recognizing an asset and liability. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019.
The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of these new accounting pronouncements and have not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
On March 23, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Drew Technologies, Inc. The financing for the acquisition was from an internal loan of $30,000 from the Company's parent, Opus Group AB. The aggregate purchase price for the shares was $30,215 plus an earn-out agreement up to $4,426. Drew Technologies, Inc. will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary that financially reports through Opus Inspection, Inc.
Research and development - Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014 the FASB issued amended accounting guidance on revenue recognition that will be applied to all contracts with customers. The object of the new guidance is to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and to provide more useful information to users of the financial statements.
This guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
The translation of MXN, CLP and PEN denominated assets and liabilities into USD for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements does not necessarily mean the Company could realize or settle, in USD, the reported values of these assets and liabilities in USD.
Likewise it does not mean the Company could return or distribute the reported USD value of its foreign subsidiaries’ equity to its members’.
Comprehensive income - Total comprehensive income consists of net income and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.

The fair value of accounts receivable acquired represents contractual amounts receivable.
The Company expects to collect all accounts receivable acquired. Acquisition costs have been expensed as incurred and totaled to $240 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Company has a material contract with a state agency whereby they are required to establish a reserve trust fund for contract costs and equipment upgrades that the state may request. The agreement calls for a reserve equal to $.5 for each unit in use under the contract, with specified funding amounts each month until fully funded. As of December 31, 2015 the Company had reserved $2,101 in accordance with this agreement. These amounts are included in restricted cash, and any amounts not used when the contract terminates, by expiration of the 7 year contract term or otherwise, will be remitted to the State.
