Page 2www.ubmatrix.com Objectives UBmatrix shows how XBRL can be used in the process of collecting, analyzing, reusing, and otherwise managing internal operating performance data. This presentation will:  Show why an XBRL system allows a faster time to integrate with other systems  Explain why XBRL offers increased flexibility and usefulness of the reporting system  Explain why XBRL allows increased quality of reported information and reduced costs of operating the reporting system  Show a demonstration of GUI and API level functionality using XBRL

Page 6www.ubmatrix.com How should integration be achieved?  Custom integration is expensive to create  Custom integration is expensive to maintain  So many “small feeder systems”, either:  Manual because function MUST be performed (but likely costly and error prone)  Or, worse, important data is not analyzed  “If you can’t measure it, you can’t control it.”  Can XBRL help?

© 2003 Universal Business Matrix, LLC. All rights reserved. Page 8www.ubmatrix.com The SECOND issue Application Data Store XBRL Does not support XBRL import or export, so, have to write custom code Say you “standardize” on ONE format, say XBRL One format, syntactic and semantic validation (business rules) to help ensure data accuracy 1:many rule engine based data validation

Application Data Store XBRL Supports XBRL import and export One format, syntactic and semantic validation (business rules) to help ensure data accuracy 1:many rule engine based data validation

Page 11www.ubmatrix.com XBRL tools available (now, 2003)  Send/Receive one format, XBRL, rather than different formats for each internal integration built  Sending  COTS* tools for building data format specifications (XBRL taxonomies)  Some tools for mapping to data sources  Some, but not many, applications, support XBRL export  COTS software for creating instance documents  COTS software for validation of data sent  Receiving  Some software for mapping data at destination  COTS software for validation of data received  Some, but not many, applications, support XBRL import *COTS – Commercial off the shelf

© 2003 Universal Business Matrix, LLC. All rights reserved. Page 12www.ubmatrix.com XBRL tools available (2005 or 2010)  Send/Receive one format, XBRL, rather than different formats for each internal integration built  Closer to “drag and drop” application integration (clearly not in all cases) to map data source to XBRL, XBRL to data source  Many, if not most, applications support XBRL as a native import/export format  Robust domain specific semantic validation at both source of data and destination of data to ensure quality of data transferred  Web services (WSDL) used to exchange data between applications, XBRL “package” of data

Page 13www.ubmatrix.com Tools you need  Fully conforming XBRL processor, probably  Semantic validation, “business rules”  Create taxonomies  Create extension taxonomies in many cases  Create instance documents  Create business rules  Versioning from one version of XBRL to another, from one version of a taxonomy to another  Mapping data source/destination to XBRL
