Independent Auditor's Report

Board of Directors The Jewish Guild for the Blind and Subsidiaries We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Jewish Guild for the Blind and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of The Jewish Guild for the Blind and Subsidiaries' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The prior-year summarized comparative information has been derived from The Jewish Guild for the Blind and Subsidiaries' 2009 financial statements and, in our report dated May 12, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of The Jewish Guild for the Blind and Subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Jewish Guild for the Blind and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities, when acquired, of three months or less.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Investments - Investments are recorded at fair value. The Guild invests in various investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term, based upon the markets' fluctuations, and that such changes could materially affect The Guild's financial statements. Fair Value Measurements ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical 2ssets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below. Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that The Guild has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; Inputs other than qUoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2010, as compared to those used at December 31, 2009. Cash and-cash equivalents and money snorkel funds - Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. -continuedLOEB &TPOPERa

4. TIM JEWISH GUILD FOR THE BLIND AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2010

NOTE 2 - SUMMA.RY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Fair Value Measurements ('continued) Certificates of deposit - Valued at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the creditworthiness of the issuer. U.S. Government obligations, corporate bonds and equity securities - Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Foreign bonds - Valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. Mutualfunds - Valued at the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held at year end. Limited partnerships and hedge funds - Estimated fair values, in the absence of readily ascertainable market values, have been determined by the investment manager. The methods and procedures used to value these investments may include, but are not limited to: (1) performing comparisons with prices of comparable or similar securities; (2) obtaining valuationrelated information from issuers; and/or (3) other analytical data relating to the investment and .using other available indications of value. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. See Note 3 for the table that sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the assets at fair value as of December 31,2010. Generally accepted accounting principles permit but do not require measurement of financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. As The Guild did not elect to fair value any. of the financial instruments under these provisions, the adoption did not have an impact on the fmancial statements. Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts - The Guild records receivables based on established rates or contracts for service provided. Bad debt expense is charged if a receivable is determined to be uncollectible based on periodic review by management. Factors used to determine whether an allowance should be recorded include the age of the receivable and a review of payments subsequent to year-end. Interest is not charged on outstanding receivables. -continuedLOEB &TBOPERLLP

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Contributions receivable - Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected within one year are recorded at net realizable value. Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected in future years are recorded at the present value of their estimated future cash flows. The discounts on those amounts are computed using risk-adjusted interest rates applicable to the years in which the promises are received. Amortization of the discounts is included in contribution revenue. Conditional promises to give are not included as support until the conditions are substantially met. Assets limited as to use - Assets limited as to use represent the contingent reserve and the escrow deposit required for the New York State Insurance Department's statutory reserve requirement as described in Note 11. Fixed assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost. Items costing in excess of $1,000 which have an estimated useful life of greater than one year are subject to capitalization. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is provided on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease or the life of the asset. Accrued claims payable - Unpaid claims and unpaid claims adjustment expenses include reported claims and claims incurred but not yet reported to GuildNet. The estimated expense of processing these claims is included in accounts payable. The liabilities are estimated based upon assumptions and estimates developed from prior claims experience. Although there is variability in such estimates, management believes that the unpaid claims and unpaid claims adjustment expense liabilities are adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as experience develops or new information becomes known. Reversal of prior year IBNR is reflected as other changes on the statement of operations and changes in net assets.
Annuity obligations - Annuity obligations are recorded at the actuarial present value of future

payments. Net assets - Unrestricted net assets include funds having no restrictions as to use or purpose imposed by donors. Temporarily restricted net assets are those funds restricted by donors, to be used for a specified time period or purpose. Permanently restricted funds are to be maintained in perpetuity at the behest of the donor and the income generated by such funds is utilized for operating purposes except if otherwise indicated by the donor.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Program fees - Program fees are inpatient revenues, outpatient fees and capitation payments

that are reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Laws and regulations governing health care programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term. Additionally, noncompliance with such laws and regulations could result in fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Functional allocation of expenses - The majority of expenses are directly identified with the program or supporting services to which they relate and are charged accordingly. Other expenses have been allocated among program and supporting services on the basis of square footage of office space occupied, time reports, and other bases determined by the management of The Guild and its subsidiaries. Leases - Leases are classified as operating or capital leases in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. Capital leases are recorded at the lower of the fair market value of the assets or the present value of the minimum lease payments and are amortized over the lease term or estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter, unless the lease provides for transfer of title or includes a bargain purchase option, in which case the lease is amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. Operating Lease payments are charged to rental expense. Rent expense is recorded on the straight-line basis. Deferred rent is recorded where there are material differences between the fixed payment and the rent expense. Measure of operations - The Guild includes in its definition of operations all revenues and expenses associated with its program services provided primarily to visually impaired persons. Excluded from operations are contributions, special events, donated services, legacies and bequests, investment income, gain/loss on sale/disposal of fixed assets, prior years' IBNR adjustments, change in value of annuity obligations, actuarial gain on beneficial interest in unitrust, pension and postretirement medical adjustments and net assets released from restrictions.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Contributions - Unconditional contributions, including promises to give cash and other assets, are reported at fair value at the date the contribution is received. The gifts are reported as either temporarily or permanently restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified as unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Donated services - The value of donated services is estimated based upon the average value of services performed as reported by the Department of - Labor. Revenues and expenses are reflected in these financial statements, since the services provided meet the criteria for recognition under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Donated services include supplemental translators, therapeutic assistants and teacher assistants. Grants - Grants are recorded as revenue at the contracted rate. Revenues from government agencies are subject to audit by those agencies. No provision for. disallowance is reflected in the financial statements, since management does not anticipate any material adjustments. Summarized financial information for 2009 - The financial statements include certain prioryear summarized comparative information in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the organizations' financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, from which the summarized information was derived. Certain 2009 amounts related to accounts receivable and postretirement medical adjustments have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. Uncertainty in income taxes - The Guild has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Periods ending December 31, 2007 and subsequent remain subject to examination by applicable taxing authorities. Subsequent events - Subsequent events have been evaluated through May 10, 2011, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

a. Emerging markets - Investments that are focused in equities of companies domiciled primarily in developing market countries. The investment in this category cannot be redeemed because the investment includes a restriction that does not allow redemption in the first year after acquisition. The lock-up expires March 2011. b. Inflation protection - Inflation protection is a broad asset category which includes investments that are designed to protect the portfolio during heightened inflationary environments, but are not entirely dependent upon inflation for a successful outcome. These strategies can include Emerging Market Currencies, Global Macro, Real Estate, Commodities and the like. c. Multi-strategy - Investments are typically focused in market neutral and arbitrage strategies. In combination, these strategies are designed to produce a consistent return stream with volatility comparable to a diversified fixed-income portfolio. Multi-strategy funds would therefore be utilized primarily in a defensive role, as a complement to the traditional fixedincome allocation. The multi-strategy limited partnership cannot be redeemed because the investment includes a restriction that does not allow redemption in the first two years after acquisition.

NOTE 7- PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS General The Guild's endowments consist of individual donor-restricted endowment funds established to support activities of the organization. As required by GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence of donor-imposed restrictions. InterpretationofRelevant Law - New York The Board of Directors of The Guild has interpreted the Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act (UMIFA) as being the relevant sections of the New York State Not-for-Profit Corporations Law (N-PCL) requiring preservation of the fair value of a gift as of the gift date of donor-restricted endowment funds (historic dollar value), absent explicit.donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result, and in accordance with the direction of the original donor gift instrument, The Guild classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, the original value of any subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. Any interest, dividends, rents, royalties or other revenue generated by donorrestricted endowment funds is used by the organization in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence required by law, absent explicit donor stipulations. As of September 17, 2010, New York State adopted New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (NYPM]FA), which has eliminated the requirement of maimaining new endowment funds at their historical dollar value. In addition, it has given the option to older endowment funds to opt "in" or "out" of the new provisions. -continued-

NOTE 7- PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS (continued) Interpretation of Relevant Law - Massachusetts The State of Massachusetts adopted the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (tJPMIFA) on July 2, 2009, effective June 30, 2009. The Board of Directors of GBGB has interpreted UPMIFA as requiring preservation of the fair value of a gift as of the gift date of donor-restricted endowment funds (historic dollar value), absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result, and in accordance with the direction of the original donor gift instruments, GBGE classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, the original value of any subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted fund that is not classified as permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the organization in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by TJPMIFA. In accordance with UPM]FA, the organization considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donorrestricted endowment funds: (1) the duration and preservation of the fund, (2) the purposes of the organization and the donor-restricted endowment fund, (3) general economic conditions, (4) the possible effect of inflation and deflation, (5) the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments, (6) other resources of the organization, and (7) the investment policies of the organization. Return Objectives, Strategies Em ployed and Spen dinE Policy The objective of The Guild is to maintain the principal of endowment funds at the original amount designated by the donor. The investment policy is designed to achieve this objective. Interest earned in relation to the endowment funds is recorded as temporarily restricted income and released from restriction upon expenditure for the program for which the endowment fund was established. Funds with Deficiencies The Guild does not have any funds with deficiencies.

NOTE 8- CONTINGENCIES AND RATE ADJUSTMENTS (continued) B. Audits by New York State Department ofHealth A liability to DOH for funds received from Medicare Part B services has been recorded for years 2003 and subsequent. C. Medicare Reimbursement H.F.C. has filed cost reports with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in connection with the Medicare program through 2008. These reports are subject to audit and retroactive adjustments. Cost reports filed through 2008 have been settled. H.F.C. is not required to file a report for 2010 as there was no Medicare revenue. D. ADHC Medicaid Reimbursement The Adult Day Health Care Programs' reimbursement rates for H.F.C. have been converted from budget-based to cost-based effective January 2009. In April 2011, H.F.C. received revised rates based on the 2009 cost report data. The impact of these rates retroactive to 2009 has been reflected in the financial statements. E. Recruitment and Retention In accordance with the Public Health Law, NYSDOH adjusted Medicaid capitation rates to provide funding for recruitment, training and retention of home health aides and/or other personnel with direct patient care responsibility. These funds cover the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. In the accompanying financial statements, these funds are reflected as revenue earned in 2010. The methodology employed to make this determination was predicated on the approach approved by NYSDOH for a similar program in 2002. This approach and the underlying support are subject to audit by NYSDOH. In addition, GuildNet is required to receive attestations from those licensed agencies with which it contracts certifying that these funds were paid to home health aides and other personnel with direct patient care responsibilities.

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES AND RATE ADJUSTMENTS (continued) F. Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Program GuildNet's Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan includes Medicare Part D ("Part D") prescription drug insurance coverage. Certain elements of the payments received during the year represented payments for the insurance risk coverage under Part D, and were recognized as premium revenue. The payments received from CMS are subject to risk corridor and federal reinsurance adjustments whereby variances which exceed certain thresholds from a target amount result in CMS making additional payments. In 2010, GuildNet estimated and recorded a liability related to these risk corridor and federal reinsurance provisions in the amount of $117,617. A low-income member cost sharing subsidy (LICS) receivable has been recorded in the amount of $45,938 for 2010. The LICS receivable is equal to the sum of plan-reported actual LICS dollars less the sum of all prospective LICS subsidy payments. On February 28, 2011, GuildNet received a draft finalized report on the examination of GuildNet's 2008 financial activity associated with Medicare Advantage (MA) and its Prescription Drug Program, that was based on this approved by CMS report, no adjustment was necessary. C. Lawsuits The Guild is a party to three lawsuits whereby former employees are alleging wrongful termination and/or discrimination. The Guild's attorneys are vigorously defending The Guild in these matters. While the outcome of these lawsuits cannot be determined at this time, management believes that any loss which may arise from these actions will be covered by insurance and, accordingly, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of The Guild. NOTE 9- PENSION PLANS The Guild has two pension plans in effect, The Jewish Guild for the Blind Bargaining Unit Employees' Pension Plan and The Jewish Guild for the Blind Non-Bargaining Unit Employees' Pension Plan covering all of its eligible employees. No contributions are required from employees. The Non-Bargaining plan was frozen as of June 30, 2010.

NOTE 9- PENSION PLANS (continued)


a. Multi-strategy hedge funds and multi-strategy limited partnerships - Investments are

typically focused in market neutral and arbitrage strategies: In combination, these strategies are designed to produce a consistent return stream with volatility comparable to a diversified fixed-income portfolio. Multi-strategy funds would therefore be utilized primarily in a defensive role, as a complement to the traditional fixed-income allocation. The limited partnerships in this category cannot be redeemed because the investment includes a restriction that does not allow redemption in the first year after acquisition. The lock-ups expire November and December 2011.
U.S. large cap hedge - Hedged equity investments are focused on managers that have the ability to purchase companies long as well as sell short. The primary role of these investments is to complement the traditional equity investments by providing access to a growth-oriented return stream with a reduced dependence on upwardly trending equity markets and lower volatility. Large cap investing is typically focused on companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion.

c. U.S. small/mid cap equity hedge - Hedged equity investments are focused on managers that have the ability to purchase companies long as well as sell short. The primary role of these investments is to complement the traditional equity investments by providing access to a growth-oriented return stream with a reduced dependence on upwardly trending equity markets and lower volatility. Small/mid cap investing is typically focused on companies with market capitalization of less than $5 billion. An investment representing approximately 49% of the value of the investments in the bar-gaining portion of this category cannot be redeemed because the investment includes a restriction that does not allow for redemption for the first six months after acquisition. The lock-up expires April 2011. The Guild's investment policies are designed to ensure adequate plan assets are available to provide future payments of pension benefits to eligible participants. The Guild formulates its investment portfolio at the discretion of the investment committee in conjunction with actuaries and investment advisors, taking into account long-term expectations for future returns, investment strategy, and cash demands on the plans. Amounts are compared to historical averages for reasonableness.
Cash Flows

Contribution The Guild's pension plans are on a June 30 fiscal year-end. Based on The Guild's actuarial computation, The Guild contributed $22,481,344 to the pension plans in 2010. The Guild does not anticipate making contributions in 2011. -continued-

The Guild is expected to contribute $273,913 in 2011.

NOTE 11- STATUTORY RESERVE Under the laws of the State of New York, as per adopted amendments to NYCRR Title 10 Part 98-1.11, GuildNet, Inc. is required to provide a total statutory reserve equal to the greater of its escrow deposit or its contingent reserve. The escrow deposit calculation is 5% of total projected medical expense (excluding care management expense). The contingency reserve is calculated as 5% of total Medicaid premiums including client spendclown. The New York State Insurance Department requires the escrow deposit to be funded with cash and/or obligations of the United States (or its affiliated agencies). As of December 31, 2010, GuildNet has set aside $12,758,329 to comply with the estimated escrow deposit requirement of $11,338,950. The contingent reserve may be offset by the escrow deposit. The differential between the total reserve calculation and the escrow deposit calculation is the contingent reserve. The statutory reserve for 2010 was calculated as follows: Escrow deposit Calculated @ 5% of 2011 total projected medical expenses - $ 226,779,000
5%

$_11.338.950 Continent reserve 2010 net premium income $ 285,428,661 5% $_14.271.433 The statutory reserve is based upon the greater of the two calculations. The reserve is split as follows: Escrow deposit Contingent reserve $ 11,338,950 2,932.483 $ 14.271.433
