Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts shown for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the long term debt approximates its carrying value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current market rates available to the Company.

In December
2007, the SEC issued SAB 110. SAB 110 amends SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and allows for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the “simplified method” in developing an estimate of the expected term on stock
options accounted for under SFAS 123R. SAB 110 is effective for stock options granted after December 31, 2007. The Company continued to use the “simplified method” in developing an estimate of the expected term on stock options
granted during the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its shares of Class A
Common Stock have been publicly traded.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an
instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008 and did not choose to apply fair value accounting to any such assets or liabilities.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS
157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, however the FASB has delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those items recognized or
disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequent basis. The adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The
Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(“FSP”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1
requires that unvested stock-based compensation awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) should be classified as participating securities and should be included in the computation of
earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method as described by SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe
the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have a material impact on its computation of earnings per share.

In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF
Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 addresses the determination of whether provisions that introduce adjustment features
(including contingent adjustment features) would prevent treating a derivative contract or an embedded derivative on a company’s own stock as indexed solely to the company’s stock. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF 07-5 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative
instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for
the fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS
141 and requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also requires transaction costs related to the
business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS
141R will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px">Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary
course of business, the Company may enter into service agreements with service providers in which it agrees to indemnify the service provider against certain losses and liabilities arising from the service provider’s performance under the
agreement. Generally, such indemnification obligations do not apply in situations in which the service provider is grossly negligent, engages in willful misconduct, or acts in bad faith. The Company was not aware of any material indemnification
liability under such service agreements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
