Independent Auditor's Report

To the Board of Directors
Professional Culinary Institute LLC
New York, NY

I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Professional Culinary Institute LLC as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income, members' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Professional Culinary Institute LLC as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, I have also issued my report dated June 2, 2010 on my consideration of Professional Culinary Institute LLC's internal control over financial reporting and on my tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of my testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of my audit.

Nature of Operations
Professional Culinary Institute, LLC. (the "Company") was organized as a limited liability company (LLC) in the State of New York on July 18, 2008. The company owns and operates state licensed vocational training schools. The schools provide vocational education and training programs to students under funded contracts at various training sites located in New York State.

Revenue Recognition
The financial statements of the company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.  Tuition billed to students is recognized as revenue, determined by the percentage of completion method.

Concentration of Credit Risk
At various times during the year, cash balances maintained in bank accounts may exceed FDIC insurable limits. In the normal course of business, the company extends unsecured credit to its students. Many students receive financial assistance from community based and government agencies. Collection of student accounts receivable is reasonably assured provided that the school and students continuously comply with various financial assistance regulations.

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable are recorded net of an allowance for uncollectibles. The allowance is estimated from historical performance and managements' experience.

Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Income taxes
The company is a limited liability company which is treated as a partnership for tax purposes.  Accordingly, the company's members are responsible for income taxes on their proportionate share of the company's income.
