Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures inthe consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controlrelevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in orderto design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressingan 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 reasonablenessof significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation ofthe consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all materialrespects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 andthe results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

Note A - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

OrganizationThe Redwoods Group, Inc. (the Company) was formed in 1997. The Company is a managingunderwriter of property, liability and workers' compensation insurance coverage provided byinsurance carriers for the Company's programs for Young Men's Christian Associations(YMCAs), Jewish Community Centers (JCCs), and not-for-profit camps (Camps) throughout theUnited States.

Premiums written under the Company's YMCA, JCC, and Camps programs amounted to $53.3million and $51.7 million during calendar year 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company hasagreements with insurance carriers through which it provides underwriting, policy administrationand claims administration services and receives commissions and fees which are normally paidwhen policy premiums are collected. The Company's home office is in Morrisville, NorthCarolina.

The Redwoods Group Foundation (the Foundation) is sponsored by the Company. TheFoundation is a non-proft organization that works to spread preventive safety solutions thatprotect and save lives. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had an intercompanyreceivable from the Foundation for $31,990 and $3,288, respectively. Refer to Note D forfurther related party transactions.

On December 31, 2012, the Company purchased BWS Durham (BWS), a limited liabilitycompany, for $500,246. BWS's main asset is an office building in Durham, NC. BWS is awholly owned subsidiary of the Company and consolidated according to accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) within these financial statements.

Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.Preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to makeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosureof contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reportedamounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ fromthose estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months orless, including money market funds, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintainscertain cash and cash equivalent balances that exceed FDIC insured limits, which managementconsiders to be a normal business risk.

Note A - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Restricted Cash and Funds Held for OthersRestricted cash represents premiums collected by the Company that are not yet due to theinsurance carriers. The corresponding liability to the insurance carriers is reported as funds heldfor others. The Company also maintains certain cash accounts, which consist of insurancecarrier funds advanced for the payment of claims, that are not reflected in the accompanyingbalance sheets. The amount of such balances at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $2,300,373and $2,911,174, respectively. The inclusion of such accounts in the balance sheets would resultin an increase to restricted cash and a corresponding increase to funds held for others, with nonet impact on reported stockholders' equity.

Fair Value of InvestmentsGAAP provides guidance for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Thefair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identicalassets or liabilities (Level 1), the next priority to quoted prices for identical assets and liabilitiesin inactive markets or similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2), and the lowestpriority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

InvestmentsThe Company designates investments in debt securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly,reports these investments at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as othercomprehensive income, net of estimated tax. Fair values for the Company's debt securities arebased on average bid prices of identical or similar issues with the same life and expected yields(Level 2). Bond premiums or discounts are amortized over the life of the bond using theconstant yield method. The Company's investments in certificates of deposit are reported at cost.The Company's investment in affiliate (Note C) is recorded under the equity method ofaccounting. The Company's investment in a residential condominium (Note B) is reflected atcost and is being depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 27.5years. The Company's purchase of BWS (Note D) included in a building reflected at cost beingdepreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 39 years. TheCompany's 9% holdings in an unconsolidated limited liability company real estate venture (NoteB) is carried at cost.

Realized gains and losses on the disposition of investments are determined using the specificidentification basis. No realized gains or losses on the disposition of investments wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Unrealized losses on investments in debt securities, which are deemed other-than-temporary, arecharged to income when such determination is made. Factors considered in identifying other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) include: (1) whether the Company intends to sell theinvestment or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell thesecurity prior to an anticipated recovery in value; (3) the likelihood of the recoverability of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Note A - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investments (continued)principal and interest (i.e., whether there is a credit loss); (4) the length of time and extent towhich the fair value has been less than amortized cost; and (5) the financial condition, near-termand long-term prospects for the issuer, including the relevant industry conditions and trends, andimplications of rating agency actions and offering prices. Any such write downs are reported asrealized losses on investments.

Investments carried at cost are qualitatively evaluated for impairment at least annually or morefrequently if circumstances indicate a potential decrease in the fair value of such assets. Noimpairments have been recorded to assets carried at cost as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Premiums and Commissions ReceivableThe Company generally bills and collects insurance premiums for the insurance carriers. For theapplicable insurance policies, the Company is required to remit premiums to the insurancecarriers, net of the Company's commission, regardless of whether or not the Company hascollected such premiums when due. Management continually monitors the collectability ofreceivables, and amounts specifically identified as uncollectible are charged to expense in theyear the determination is made. Based upon the Company's past history of negligibleuncollectible accounts and management's assessment of its current receivables, no allowance fordoubtful accounts has been provided in these financial statements.

Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation iscomputed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, which rangefrom 3 to 7 years.

Commission Revenue and Expense Recognition The Company records commission and fee revenues on policies and commission expense to bepaid to agents as of the date that the policies are written. Policy cancellations are not material;therefore, a provision for potential refunds of commissions has not been provided. Premiumadjustments, including policy cancellations, are recorded as they occur.

Claim Administration FeesThe Company is paid a fee by insurance companies to administer policy claims for the durationof the claims. The Company defers these fee revenues and earns the fees over the period thatclaims services are expected to be provided, based upon actual historical data.

Note A - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes Current income taxes are based upon the fiscal year's income that is taxable for federal and statetax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the taxconsequences attributable to temporary differences between the GAAP carrying value of assetsand liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measuredusing enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which thosetemporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company considers uncertaintax positions during the preparation of its income tax provision and management does notbelieve any significant income tax uncertainties exist as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. TheCompany utilized no tax planning strategies in 2012 or 2011.

Stock GrantsAs discussed in further detail in Note J, the Company issued stock grant agreements to certainmanagement personnel. The fair value of shares granted is determined on the date shares areawarded, and compensation expense is recorded over the requisite vesting period with acorresponding credit to additional paid in capital. Share valuation at the date of grant isestimated based upon the Company's annual financial statements, using industry multiples, and isdiscounted to reflect the stock's limited marketability.

Stock OptionsAs discussed further in Note K, the Company granted options, exercisable at a future date, tocertain management personnel to purchase common stock. The Company accounts for the stockoptions using the intrinsic value method. The Company records compensation expense thatrepresents the difference between exercise price and the current company stock value multipliedby the number of stock option shares outstanding. Additionally, the Company records acorresponding credit to additional paid in capital.

Subsequent EventsThe Company evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and recognition through March 11,2013, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued, and consideredany relevant matters in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Services valued at $54,879 and $69,081 were provided by theCompany to RMI during 2012 and 2011, respectively. The remaining liability for future servicesas of December 31, 2012 amounts to $478,536 and is reflected on the accompanying balancesheets as due to affiliate, of which $25,000 is included in current liabilities and $453,536 is inlong-term liabilities.

Note N - Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is a managing underwriter of property, casualty, liability and workers’compensation insurance coverage for YMCAs, JCCs, and Camps throughout the United States.The Company has several insurance carriers that underwrite its insurance policies, although amajority of these policies are underwritten by one carrier. If this carrier should discontinueproviding this insurance coverage, the Company would have some exposure related to findinganother primary underwriting company. This risk is mitigated by the fact that the Company’sprincipal carrier is rated A (excellent) by A. M. Best Company. This risk has been furtherreduced by limiting the share of risk born by the primary carrier and spreading the excess riskamong one or more “A” or better rated reinsurers.
