Report
of Independent Registered
Public
Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Educational
Investors, Inc. and Subsidiary
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Educational Investors,
Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company"), as of September 30, 2009, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, change in shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for the period from July 20, 2009 (inception) through
September 30, 2009. The Company's management is responsible for these
consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's 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 audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as
of September 30, 2009 and the results of its consolidated operations and
its cash flows for the period from July 20, 2009 (inception) through
September 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Summary
of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
This
summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist
in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s
management who are responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
|
a.
|
Principles
of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Educational Investors, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
|
|
b.
|
Cash and
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all short-term
investments, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash
equivalents. Accounts at banking institutions may at times
exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2009,
the Company had $784,358 over such
limits.
|
|
c.
|
Earnings
Per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed using
the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding. The Company had no common equivalent shares
outstanding, which would have had a dilutive effect on the earnings per
share.
|
d.
Revenue
Recognition - The Company derives its revenue substantially
from fees charged for courses and manuals. The fee is recognized as
revenue at the time of attendance at the course and when the manual is shipped
to customers. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of study
guides when the study guides are shipped to customers. All courses and study
guides are paid in advance and the Company refunds only a portion of the fee
upon cancellation. Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received in
advance of course attendance and the shipment of the manuals and study guides.
The Company does not accept returns of manuals and study
guides.
e.
Selling and
Administrative Expenses - Selling and administration expenses
include costs of printing, costs of facilities used for presentation of courses,
preparation of course materials, and other operating costs.
Continued
|
6
f.
Acquisition-Related
Cost - Costs incurred in the foundation of the Company and in
the acquisition of operating assets and business operations are expenses as
incurred.
g.
Shipping and
Handling Costs - Costs incurred for shipping and handling,
included in selling and administrative expense in the amount of $1,767 for the
period ended September 30, 2009, are expensed as
incurred.
h.
Accounts
Receivable - The Company does not have a general provision for
doubtful accounts in as much as management has assessed none to be
warranted. Accounts receivable generally consist of the amount due on
the receipt of payment from the company processing credit card payments from
customers.
i.
Inventory - The
Company generally does not maintain an inventory of manuals and study
guides. These materials are ordered from the printing company as
orders from customers are received. Manuals received and not yet
shipped are carried at cost computed on a first-in, first-out
basis.
j.
Fixed
Assets - Fixed assets are carried at
cost. Depreciation of office equipment is calculated using the
straight line method over the three year estimated useful lives of the related
assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred.
k.
Estimates - The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things,
useful lives for depreciation and amortization, future cash flows associated
with impairment testing for long-lived assets, deferred tax assets and
contingencies.
l.
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments
consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue which approximate fair value
because of their short maturities. The Company’s notes payable (or
long-term debt) approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon
management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the
Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30,
2009.
m.
Goodwill - The
Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board No. 142 which
eliminated the amortization of goodwill and substituted an annual review of the
asset for possible impairment, requiring the comparison of fair market value to
carrying value. Fair market value is estimated using the present
value of expected future cash flows and other measures. The Company
has completed the required testing of goodwill for impairment and has determined
that none of its goodwill is impaired.
n.
Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets - In the event that facts and circumstances
indicate that the cost of an asset may be impaired, an evaluation of
recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the
estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be
compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market
value is required. At September 30, 2009, the Company does not
believe that any impairment has occurred.
o.
Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2009, the Company implemented the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All of the
content included in the Codification is considered authoritative. The
Codification is not intended to amend GAAP, but codifies previous accounting
literature. The Company has changed the referencing of authoritative
accounting literature to conform to the Codification.
The Company adopted ASC 855-10 “Subsequent
Events”. The Codification does not require significant changes
regarding recognition or disclosure of subsequent events, but does require
disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated for
disclosure and recognition. The Codification is effective for
financial statements issued after June 15, 2009. The adoption
did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Continued
|
7
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13,
“Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force”. This ASU establishes a selling price hierarchy
for determining the selling price of a deliverable, inclusive of an estimated
selling price if neither vendor specific objective evidence nor third party
evidence is available. While this ASU was issued in October 2009,
early adoption is permitted.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting
pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying
financial statements.
p.
Income
Taxes - The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting
for income taxes. The asset and liability method requires that the current or
deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements
are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the
amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. An allowance
against deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that
such tax benefits will not be realized. Adjustment to the deferred tax assets
and liabilities balances are recognized in income as they occur. The Company has
determined that there are no unrecognized tax positions pursuant to ASC
740.
In
addition to its federal income tax return, the Company is presently obligated to
file tax returns in New York, Iowa, and Pennsylvania and will be obligated to
file in seven other states in the coming year.
q.
Industry Segment
Information - The Company has determined that they operate
under one segment, and are not required to report on their operations by
segment.

Acquisition
|
Effective
August 20, 2009, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. for
$3,838,215. The purchase method of accounting was used for this
transaction and the purchase price was allocated to the fair value of financial
assets, liabilities, tradename/trademark/content, group and non-group
registrations, website, review manuals, and covenant not-to compete aggregating
$3,654,658, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
identifiable assets was realized as goodwill.
The
following table summarizes the consideration paid for the purchase of certain of
the assets of Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. and the amounts of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition

Shareholders’
Equity
|
Effective
August 20, 2009, the Company issued 16,666,667 of its Common Stock, par
value $.001 per share, and received proceeds in the amount of $2,450,156, net of
costs of $49,844. In addition, the Company sold two stock options to two of its
executives to purchase a total of 2,333,334 shares of common
stock. The exercise price for 1,166,667 of these options is $.25 and
the exercise price for the remaining 1,166,667 options is $.45. The
options become exercisable based upon the company achieving certain EBTDA
measurements as defined in the Stock Option Agreements. In addition,
as consideration for the options to acquire the common stock, the executives
have each issued notes payable to the Company in the principal amount of $10,000
bearing interest at an annual compounded rate of 4%, due and payable August 20,
2014. The excess of the fair value of the options sold over the notes
of $8,000 was charged to operations as compensation. The fair value
of the options was determined by the Black-Sholes option pricing model using the
following assumptions; forfeiture rate 0%, risk free interest rate 2.5%,
volatility 25%, expected life 5 years, and dividend rate 0%.

On
December 24, 2009 the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan to
provide the Company with a means to assist in recruiting, retaining and
rewarding certain employees, directors and consultants and to motivate such
individuals to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company by providing
incentives through the granting of Awards. On December 31, 2009,
the Company granted 700,000 options to certain members of management, the
directors, and a consultant. The options are exercisable at a price
of $.50 per share. 400,000 of the options are currently exercisable
and 300,000 of the options vest over a two year period from date of grant, and
options not exercised expire 5 years from date of grant.
On
December 16, 2009, Florham Consulting Corp. ("Florham") executed an
agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") among Florham, EII
Acquisition Corp. (a newly formed acquisition subsidiary of Florham
(“Mergerco”), Educational Investors, Inc. ("EII") and its securityholders, Sanjo
Squared, LLC, Kinder Investments, LP, Joseph Bianco and Anil Narang
(collectively, the "EII Securityholders") pursuant to which the Mergerco would
be merged with and into EII, with EII as the surviving corporation of the merger
(the “Reverse Merger”), as a result of which EII will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Florham. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the
EII Securityholders will receive (i) an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of
Florham's Common Stock, (ii) options to acquire 2,558,968 additional shares of
Florham's Common Stock, fifty percent (50%) of which have an initial exercise
price of $0.45 per share and fifty percent (50%) of which have an initial
exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to certain performance targets set
forth in the Merger Agreement, and (iii) 250,000 shares of Florham's Series A
Preferred Stock, with each share of Florham's Series A Preferred Stock
automatically convertible into 49.11333 shares of Florham's Common Stock upon
the filing by Florham of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation which
increases the authorized shares of Florham's Common Stock to at least
50,000,000.
In
addition to the Merger Agreement, on December 16, 2009, EII entered into an
Interest Purchase Agreement ("TDI Agreement") with Trading Direct LLC ("TDI")
and its members and Florham pursuant to which EII will acquire all outstanding
membership interests, on a fully diluted basis, of TDI in exchange for (a)
$200,000 cash, (b) shares of Florham's Common Stock having a deemed value of
$600,000 (the "Acquisition Shares"), with such number of Acquisition Shares to
be determined by dividing $600,000 by the "Discounted VWAP" (as defined below)
for the twenty (20) "Trading Days" (as defined below) immediately following the
consummation of the Reverse Merger and (c) shares of Florham's Common Stock
having a deemed value of $300,000 (the "Escrow Shares"), with such number of
Escrow Shares to be determined by dividing $300,000 by the Discounted VWAP for
the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately following the consummation of the
Reverse Merger. The Escrow Shares will be held in escrow and released
therefrom as provided in the TDI Agreement. "Discounted VWAP" is
defined in the TDI Agreement as seventy percent (70%) of the "VWAP" of Florham's
Common Stock, but is no event less than $0.40 per share. "VWAP" is defined in
the TDI Agreement as a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
product of (i) the closing trading price for Florham's Common Stock on the
applicable National Securities Exchange on each Trading Day of the twenty (20)
Trading Days following the consummation of the Reverse Merger and (ii) the
volume of Florham's Common Stock on the applicable National Securities Exchange
for each such day and the denominator of which is the total volume of Florham's
Common Stock on the applicable National Securities Exchange during such twenty
day period, each as reported by Bloomberg Reporting Service or other recognized
market price reporting service. "Trading Day" is defined in the TDI Agreement as
any day on which the New York Stock Exchange or other National Securities
Exchange on which Florham's Common Stock trades is open for
trading.
At the
closing of the Reverse Merger, it is anticipated that all present officers and
directors of Florham will resign and Joseph Bianco will become the Chief
Executive Officer and a Director of Florham and Anil Narang will become
President, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of Florham.

It is
further anticipated that three additional directors will be selected by a
majority of Florham's shareholders upon consummation of the Reverse
Merger.
The
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to a
number of conditions including, without limitation, completion of due diligence,
approval of the Merger Agreement by the Boards of Directors of EII and Florham
and the prior or simultaneous closing of the TDI Agreement. The
closing of the TDI Agreement is subject to a number of conditions including,
without limitation, approval of the change of ownership of TDI by the
Connecticut Department of Higher Education, the execution by Florham, EII and
the EII Securityholders of all documents necessary to affect the Reverse Merger,
