PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
This
summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.
To fully understand this offering, you should read the entire prospectus
carefully, including the more detailed information regarding us, the risks of
purchasing our common stock discussed under "risk factors," and our financial
statements and the accompanying notes. In this prospectus, the “Company,” "we",
"us" and "our", refer to Florham Consulting Corp., Educational Investors, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“EII”), Valley Anesthesia, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc., an Iowa corporation
(collectively, “Valley”), and Training Direct, LLC, a Connecticut limited
liability company (“Training Direct”, and together with EII and Valley, the “EII
Group”), unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise indicated, the
term "year," "fiscal year" or "fiscal" refers to our fiscal year ending December
31st.
Our
Company
We were
incorporated in the State of Delaware in February 2005. Until
consummation of the reverse merger (as described below), we were an Internet
professional services firm. We provided our clients with an integrated set of
strategic, creative and technology services that enabled them to effect and
maximize their Internet business. Our services included advising clients on
developing business models for their Internet activities, identifying
opportunities to improve operational efficiencies through online opportunities
and planning for the operations and organization necessary to support an online
business. Our services also included developing graphic designs and web sites
for our clients. We also recommended and installed appropriate hardware and
software networks to enable online sales, support and communication, and managed
the hosting of clients' websites in certain cases.
In 2006, we entered into our first
Internet consulting agreement and since then completed web design and project
work for another five clients located in New York. For the year ended December
31, 2009, we had consulting revenues of $16,252, as compared to $14,025 for the
year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in the 2009 period was due to fewer
projects completed for new and existing clients.
In 2009, our sole officer and director
determined that there was inadequate demand for our consulting services and
sought to redirect our focus to acquiring a growing operating business. On
December 31, 2009, we consummated the reverse merger with EII simultaneous with
EII’s acquisition of Training Direct. As a result of the reverse
merger, we will carry out the business and operations of the EII Group. Under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share
exchange is considered to be an in substance capital transaction, as opposed to
a business combination. Accordingly, the share exchange is equivalent
to the issuance of stock by Florham for the net monetary assets of EII,
accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital
structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange is
identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, with no goodwill being
recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post -reverse
acquisition fiscal 2009 historical financial statements of the legal acquirer,
Florham are those of the legal acquire which is considered to be the accounting
acquirer, EII. Share and per share amounts reported have been
adjusted to reflect the recapitalization resulting from the reverse merger.
EII was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 20, 2009 for the purpose of
acquiring vocational, training and technical schools, with an initial emphasis
on the health care and medical industries. EII’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Valley Anesthesia, Inc., was incorporated on July 15, 2009 in the
State of Delaware. Effective August 20, 2009, Valley Anesthesia, Inc. purchased
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities and operations of Valley
Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc., which was incorporated in the State of
Iowa on March 10, 1993, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,838,215 plus
certain contingent payments which are subject to the achievement of
predetermined operating milestones. Through its Valley Anesthesia,
Inc. subsidiary, EII provides comprehensive review and update courses and study
materials that aid Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists and Graduate Registered
Nurse Anesthetists in preparation for the National Certifying Exam throughout
the continental United States.
Through
its Training Direct subsidiary, which was formed as a limited liability company
on January 7, 2004 in the State of Connecticut, EII provides “distance learning”
and “residential training” educational programs for students to become eligible
for entry-level employment in a variety of fields and industries. Training
Direct strives to assist those who may not have realized their full potential in
the workplace in finding a new career direction and progressing in learning
skills necessary to reach their earning and personal development possibilities
and goals. Training Direct maintains approvals from the Connecticut Commissioner
of Higher Education, the Connecticut Department of Health Services and the
National Health Career Association, and is an Eligible Training Provider under
the Workforce Investment Act. Such approvals require that the company have a
competent faculty, offer educationally sound and up to date courses and course
materials, and be subject to inspections and approvals by outside examining
committees.
Corporate
Information
Agreement
and Plan of Merger
On
December 16, 2009, we executed an agreement and plan of merger with EII
Acquisition Corp. (a newly formed acquisition subsidiary of Florham)
(“Mergerco”), EII and its security holders, Sanjo Squared, LLC, Kinder
Investments, LP, Joseph Bianco and Anil Narang (collectively, the “EII
Securityholders”) pursuant to which Mergerco was merged with and into EII, with
EII as the surviving corporation of the merger, as a result of which EII became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. Under the terms of the merger
agreement, the EII Securityholders received (i) an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares
of our common stock, (ii) options to acquire 2,558,968 additional shares of our
common stock, 50% of which have an initial exercise price of $0.41 per share and
50% of which have an initial exercise price of $0.228 per share, subject to
certain performance targets set forth in the merger agreement, and (iii) 250,000
shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, with each share of Series A
Preferred Stock automatically convertible into 49.11333 shares of common stock
upon the filing by us of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation which
increases the authorized shares of our common stock to at least 50,000,000.
4
The
closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement were 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 our company and the prior or simultaneous closing of the interest purchase
agreement (as discussed below). On December 31, 2009, the parties to the merger
agreement deemed all closing conditions to be satisfied and accordingly, the
reverse merger was consummated. As a result of the reverse merger, we believe we
are no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
At the
closing of the reverse merger, all of our officers resigned and Joseph Bianco
was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer, Anil Narang was appointed as our
President and Chief Operating Officer, and Kellis Veach was appointed as our
Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. In addition, our sole director resigned
and Joseph Bianco, Anil Narang, Dov Perlysky, Howard Spindel and David Cohen
were appointed as our directors, with such resignation and appointments
effective on January 22, 2010, representing the tenth day after mailing our
Schedule 14f-1 Information Statement to our shareholders of record.
We have
filed an Information Statement on Schedule 14C under the Exchange Act, and upon
the effectiveness of such Information Statement and the expiration of the
requisite 20 day period following mailing of such Information Statement to our
shareholders, we will amend and restate our certificate of incorporation to,
among other things:
·
|
increase our authorized common
stock to 50,000,000 shares;
and
|
·
|
change our corporate name to “Oak
Tree Educational Partners, Inc.”.
|
Our board
of directors, by written consent dated as of December 23, 2009, approved the
reverse merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the
merger agreement. Pursuant to the corporate laws of the State of Delaware, the
approval of Florham’s shareholders was not required as a condition to the valid
consummation of the reverse merger. For a complete discussion, please
see Business, The Reverse
Merger and Acquisition of Training Direct, The Reverse Merger, on page
33 of this prospectus. On December 23, 2009 and May 19, 2010 our
board of directors, and on May 19, 2010 shareholders owning a majority of our
outstanding shares of common stock, approved by written consent: (i) our
corporate name change; (ii) the increase in our authorized shares of common
stock; and (iii) our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan for key employees, directors,
consultants and others providing services to us, pursuant to which up to
1,500,000 shares of common stock shall be authorized for issuance thereunder.
The
determination by our existing board of directors and majority shareholders
(Kinder and Sanjo) in May 2010 to approve our name change to Oak Tree
Educational Partners, Inc., as well as the share capital increase and the 2009
Plan, was made independently of the proposed merger agreement and related
transaction with Culinary Tech Center LLC and Professional Culinary Institute
LLC and its affiliates (the “Culinary Group Acquisition”), and was in no way
related to such proposed Culinary Group Acquisition. In addition, consummation
of such Culinary Group Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including
our obtaining external financing and the approval of the New York State
Department of Education. Our proposed Culinary
Group Acquisition is described on pages 6 and 35 of this
prospectus.
Interest
Purchase Agreement
On
December 16, 2009, EII entered into an interest purchase agreement
with the members of Training Direct, and our company, pursuant to which EII
acquired all outstanding membership interests, on a fully diluted basis, of
Training Direct in exchange for (a) $200,000 cash, (b) shares of our 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 20 “Trading Days” (as defined
below) immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger, and (c)
shares of our 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 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 purchase agreement. “Discounted VWAP”
is defined in the purchase agreement as 70% of the “VWAP” of our common stock,
but in no event less than $0.40 per share. “VWAP” is defined in the purchase
agreement as a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of (i)
the closing trading price for our common stock on the applicable national
securities exchange on each Trading Day of the 20 Trading Days following the
consummation of the reverse merger, and (ii) the volume of our common stock on
the applicable national securities exchange for each such day and the
denominator of which is the total volume of our 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 purchase agreement as any day on which the New
York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange on which our common
stock trades is open for trading. The Discounted VWAP for the twenty
Trading Days after the effective date of the reverse merger is
$1.67. Accordingly, on March 3, 2010 we issued an aggregate of
359,281 Acquisition Shares and 179,641 Escrow Shares.

Our
Proposed Culinary Acquisition
Effective as of May 21, 2010, we
entered into a membership interest purchase agreement and a separate agreement
and plan of merger (the “Culinary Purchase Agreements”) with the equity owners
of Culinary Tech Center LLC (“CTC”) and Professional Culinary Institute LLC
(“PCI”), both New York limited liability companies, and Educational Training
Institute, Inc., a New York corporation (collectively, the “Culinary Group”).
Joseph Monaco, one of the principals of the Culinary Group was a former owner of
Training Direct. We are seeking to acquire the Culinary Group for $5.5 million,
consisting of $3 million cash and $2.5 million of our common stock. The
agreements also includes two earn-out provisions consisting of (i) an additional
$2.0 million of our common stock and $500,000 in cash if the Culinary Group
achieves 2010 or 2011 pre-tax income hurdles of $1.65 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, and (ii) an additional $750,000 in cash if, among other things,
the Culinary Group achieves a 2010 pre-tax income hurdle of $2.1 million.
Under the terms of the merger
agreement, Educational Training Institute (“ETI”) will be merged into our newly
formed wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary with ETI as the surviving corporation
of the merger. The ETI stockholders will receive $2.5 million of our common
stock to be valued at the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our common
stock as traded on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board or other national securities
exchange for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date. In
addition, the ETI stockholders are entitled to receive contingent merger
consideration in the form of $2,000,000 payable in the form of additional shares
of our common stock, based upon the Culinary Group reaching $1.65 million and
$1.9 million of cumulative pre-tax income levels in each of 2010 and 2011. The
contingent merger consideration is valued based on the VWAP of our common stock
for the 20 trading days prior to determination of the applicable pre-tax income
of the Culinary Group in fiscal 2010 and 201l. The merger agreement also permits
the ETI stockholders to require us to repurchase for cash up to $500,000 of the
contingent merger consideration in the event the 2010 or 2011 target pre-tax
income levels are achieved.
Under the terms of the membership
interest purchase agreement with Messrs. Joseph Monaco and Harold Kaplan (the
sole members of CTC and PCI), immediately following consummation of the merger
referred to above, ETI (then our wholly-owned subsidiary) will purchase from
Messrs. Monaco and Kaplan 100% of the members interests equity of each of CTC
and PCI. The purchase price for such equity interests is $3.0 million, payable
at closing in cash in equal amounts to Messrs. Monaco and Kaplan. The purchase
agreement also provides that in the event the Culinary Group achieves the above
target pre-tax income in 2010 or fiscal 2011, we are obligated to pay an
additional $500,000 to the former members of CTC and PCI. In addition, in the
event that the Culinary Group is able to obtain in 2010 an additional five year
agency agreement with New York State that provides minimum annual revenues of
$1.5 million and $450,000 of incremental pre-tax profits in 2010, as a result of
which the cumulative pre-tax income of the Culinary Group shall be greater than
$2.1 million in fiscal 2010, then an additional $750,000 shall be payable in
cash to the members of CTC and PCI by not later than December 31, 2011.
At closing of the transactions
contemplated by both the merger and purchase agreements, Joseph Monaco and
Harold Kaplan will enter into employment agreements with our company expiring
December 31, 2013, pursuant to which they shall serve as our Executive Vice
Presidents, and the President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, of the
Culinary Group. Such executives shall each receive base salaries of $150,000 in
2010, increasing to $200,000 in 2011 and $250,000 in each of 2012 and 2013, and
shall be entitled to discretionary bonuses, as determined by our board of
directors.
Consummation of the Culinary Group
acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, our obtaining the
requisite financing, approval by the New York State Department of Education of
the change of control of the Culinary Group, and completion of the necessary
audits of the historical financial statements of the Culinary Group. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to consummate the Culinary Group
acquisition or, if consummated, that it will prove to be beneficial to us.

January 2009, we issued a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.05 per share to a consultant for financial advisory
services. The warrants are exercisable on or after March 12, 2010 through and
until June 30, 2016. The holder of such warrant has cashless exercise
rights. On September 28, 2010, we issued 5,000 shares of our common stock to the
holder upon exercise of this warrant in full by the holder at an exercise price
of $0.05 per share.

Investment
in our securities involves risk. You should carefully consider the risks we
describe below before deciding to invest. The market price of our securities
could decline due to any of these risks, in which case you could lose all or
part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the
other information included in this prospectus. Our business, financial condition
or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any of
the risks discussed below and any others not currently identified or foreseen.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry in Which We Operate
We
are subject to risks relating to enrollment of students. If we are not able to
continue to successfully recruit and retain our students, we will not be able to
sustain our revenue growth rate.
Building awareness of our schools and
the programs we offer is critical to our ability to attract prospective
students. If our schools are unable to successfully market and advertise their
educational programs, our schools’ ability to attract and enroll prospective
students in such programs could be adversely affected, and, consequently, our
ability to increase revenue or maintain profitability could be impaired. It is
also critical to our success that we convert these prospective students to
enrolled students in a cost-effective manner and that these enrolled students
remain active in our programs. Some of the factors that could prevent us from
successfully enrolling and retaining students in our programs
include:
·
|
the emergence of more attractive
competitors;
|
·
|
factors related to our marketing,
including the cost and effectiveness of Internet advertising and
broad-based branding
campaigns;
|
·
|
inability to expand program
content and develop new programs in a timely and cost-effective
manner;
|
·
|
performance problems with, or
capacity constraints of, our online education delivery
systems;
|
·
|
failure to maintain
accreditation;
|
·
|
inability to continue to recruit,
train and retain quality
faculty;
|
·
|
student or employer
dissatisfaction with the quality of our services and
programs;
|
·
|
student financial, personal or
family constraints;
|
·
|
adverse publicity regarding us,
our competitors or online or for-profit education
generally;
|
·
|
tuition rate reductions by
competitors that we are unwilling or unable to
match;
|
·
|
a decline in the acceptance of
online education;
|
·
|
increased regulation of online
education, including in states in which we do not have a physical
presence;
|
·
|
a decrease in the perceived or
actual economic benefits that students derive from our programs or
education in general;
and
|
·
|
litigation or regulatory
investigations that may damage our
reputation.
|
In addition, our educational programs
are concentrated in selected areas of healthcare, law and business. If applicant
career interests shift away from these fields, and we do not anticipate or
adequately respond to that trend, future enrollment and revenue may decline. If
employment opportunities for our graduates in fields related to their
educational programs decline, future enrollment and revenue may decline as
potential applicants choose to enroll at other educational institutions offering
different courses of study.
We
are subject to risks relating to tuition pricing, which could have a material
adverse affect on our financial results.
If other educational institutions
reduce their price of tuition, our educational programs could become less
attractive to prospective students. In addition, we may be unable, for
competitive reasons, to maintain and increase tuition rates in the future,
thereby adversely affecting future revenues and earnings.
10
Increasingly, prospective employers of
students who graduate from our schools demand that their new employees possess
appropriate technological skills and also appropriate “soft” skills, such as
communication, critical thinking and teamwork skills. These skills can evolve
rapidly in a changing economic and technological environment. Accordingly, it is
important for our schools’ educational programs to evolve in response to these
economic and technological changes. The expansion of existing programs and the
development of new programs may not be accepted by current or prospective
students or the employers of our graduates. Even if our schools are able to
develop acceptable new programs, our schools may not be able to begin offering
those new programs as quickly as required by prospective employers or as quickly
as our competitors offer similar programs. In addition, we may be unable to
obtain specialized accreditations or licensures that may make certain programs
desirable to students. To offer a new academic program, we may be required to
obtain federal, state and accrediting agency approvals, which may be conditioned
or delayed in a manner that could significantly affect our growth plans. If we
are unable to adequately respond to changes in market requirements due to
regulatory or financial constraints, unusually rapid technological changes, or
other factors, our ability to attract and retain students could be impaired, the
rates at which our graduates obtain jobs involving their fields of study could
suffer, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows could be adversely affected.
Establishing new academic programs or
modifying existing programs requires us to make investments in management and
capital expenditures, incur marketing expenses and reallocate other resources.
We may have limited experience with the courses in new areas and may need to
modify our systems and strategy or enter into arrangements with other
educational institutions to provide new programs effectively and profitably. If
we are unable to increase the number of students or offer new programs in a
cost-effective manner, or are otherwise unable to manage effectively the
operations of newly established academic programs, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely
affected.
We have invested and continue to invest
significant resources in information technology, which is a key element of our
business strategy. Our information technology systems and tools could become
impaired or obsolete due to our action or failure to act. For instance, we could
install new information technology without accurately assessing its costs or
benefits, or we could experience delayed or ineffective implementation of new
information technology. Similarly, we could fail to respond in a timely or
sufficiently competitive way to future technological developments in our
industry. Should our action or failure to act impair or otherwise render our
information technology less effective, this could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
We
are subject to risks relating to our information technology, system applications
and security systems, which could have a material adverse affect on our
financial results.
The
performance and reliability of our computer networks and system applications,
especially our online educational platforms and student operational and
financial packaging applications, are critical to our reputation and ability to
attract and retain students. System errors and/or failures could adversely
impact our delivery of educational content to our online students. In addition,
system errors could result in delays and/or errors in processing student
financial payment and related disbursements. Major risks involved in such
network infrastructure include any break-downs or system failures resulting in a
sustained shutdown of all or a material portion of our servers, including
failures which may be attributable to sustained power shutdowns, or efforts to
gain unauthorized access to our systems causing loss or corruption of data or
malfunctions of software or hardware. Security breaches of our information
systems can also create unauthorized disclosure of confidential information,
such as the personal information of our students or credit card information. If
we are unable to prevent such security breaches, our operations could be
disrupted, our students could suffer financial loss or become the victims of
identity theft, or we may suffer reputational damage and/or financial loss
because of lost or misappropriated information.
11
Future
acquisitions may have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our
business.
Selective
acquisitions form part of our strategy to expand our business. We have limited
prior experience integrating any new companies into ours, and we believe that
integration of a new company’s operation and personnel will require significant
management attention. The diversion of our management’s attention from our
business and any difficulties encountered in the integration process could have
an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.
We may pursue acquisitions of
companies, technologies and personnel that are complementary to our existing
business. However, our ability to grow through future acquisitions or
investments or hiring will depend on the availability of suitable acquisition
and investment candidates at an acceptable cost, our ability to compete
effectively to attract these candidates, and the availability of financing to
complete larger acquisitions. We may face significant competition in executing
our growth strategy. Future acquisitions or investments could result in
potential dilutive issuances of equity securities or incurrence of debt,
contingent liabilities or impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets,
any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations. The benefits of an acquisition or investment may also take
considerable time to develop and any particular acquisition or investment may
not produce the intended benefits.
Future acquisitions would also expose
us to potential risks, including risks associated with the assimilation of new
operations, technologies and personnel, unforeseen or hidden liabilities, the
diversion of resources from our existing businesses, educational programs and
technologies, the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs
and expenses of acquisitions, and potential loss of, or harm to, our
relationships with employees and students as a result of the integration of new
businesses.
If
regulators do not approve our domestic acquisitions, the acquired schools’ state
licenses, accreditation, and ability to participate in Title IV programs (if
applicable) may be impaired.
When we acquire an institution, we must
seek approval from the U.S. Department of Education if the acquired institution
participates in Title IV programs, and from most applicable state agencies and
accrediting agencies because an acquisition is considered a change of ownership
or control of the acquired institution under applicable regulatory standards. A
change of ownership or control of an institution under the U.S. Department of
Education standards can result in the temporary suspension of the institution’s
participation in the Title IV programs unless a timely and materially complete
application for recertification is filed with the U.S. Department of Education
and it issues a temporary provisional certification. If we are unable to obtain
approvals from the state agencies, accrediting agencies or U.S. Department of
Education for any institution we may acquire in the future, depending on the
size of that acquisition, such a failure to obtain approval could have a
material adverse effect on our business.
If
regulators do not approve or delay their approval of transactions involving a
change of control of our company, our state licenses and accreditation may be
impaired.
A change of ownership or control of
EII, depending on the type of change, may have significant regulatory
consequences for Training Direct. State licensing agencies, including the
Connecticut Department of Higher Education (“DHE”), have adopted the change of
ownership and control standards. Such a change of ownership or control could
require recertification and reauthorization by state licensing agencies,
including the DHE. There can be no assurances that such recertification would be
obtained on a timely basis. In addition, some states where Training Direct is
presently licensed have requirements governing change of ownership or control
that require approval of the change to remain authorized to operate in those
states. If regulators do not approve or delay their approval of transactions
involving a change of control of our company, our state licenses and
accreditation may be impaired.
12
Due to the highly regulated nature of
the postsecondary education industry, we are subject to audits, compliance
reviews, inquiries, complaints, investigations, claims of non-compliance and
lawsuits by state governmental agencies, regulatory agencies, accrediting
agencies, present and former students and employees, shareholders and other
third parties, any of whom may allege violations of any of the regulatory
requirements applicable to us. If the results of any such claims or actions are
unfavorable to us, we may be required to pay monetary fines or penalties, be
required to repay funds received under state financial aid programs, have
restrictions placed on or terminate our schools’ or programs’ eligibility to
participate in state or federal financial aid programs, have limitations placed
on or terminate our schools’ operations or ability to grant degrees and
certificates, have our schools’ accreditations restricted or revoked, or be
subject to civil or criminal penalties. Any one of these sanctions could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows and result in the imposition of significant
restrictions on us and our ability to operate.
If
we fail to maintain any of our state authorizations, we would lose our ability
to operate in that state.
Training Direct is authorized to
operate and to grant certificates by the applicable state agency of each state
where such authorization is required and where we maintain a campus. The loss of
such authorization in one or more states could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Loss of
authorization in one or more states could increase the likelihood of additional
scrutiny and potential loss of operating and/or degree granting authority in
other states in which we operate, which would further impact our
business.
Government
regulations relating to the Internet could increase our cost of doing business,
affect our ability to grow or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
The increasing popularity and use of
the Internet and other online services has led and may lead to further adoption
of new laws and regulatory practices in the U.S. or foreign countries and to new
interpretations of existing laws and regulations. These new laws and
interpretations may relate to issues such as online privacy, copyrights,
trademarks and service marks, sales taxes, value-added taxes, withholding taxes,
allocation and apportionment of income amongst various state, local and foreign
jurisdictions, fair business practices and the requirement that online education
institutions qualify to do business as foreign corporations or be licensed in
one or more jurisdictions where they have no physical location or other
presence. New laws, regulations or interpretations related to doing business
over the Internet could increase our costs and materially and adversely affect
our enrollments, which could have a material adverse affect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our
success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
We depend
on a core management and key executives. In particular, we rely on the expertise
and experience of our senior officers and key employees in our business
operations and their personal relationships with our other significant
shareholders, employees, the regulatory authorities, and our students. If any of
them become unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, or if
they join a competitor or form a competing company in contravention of their
employment agreements, we may not be able to identify a replacement easily, our
business may be significantly disrupted and our financial condition and results
of operations may be materially adversely affected. We currently maintain
key-man life insurance in the amount of $2.5 million for Anil Narang, our
President and Chief Operating Officer. We do not currently maintain key-man life
insurance for any of our other key personnel.
13
We
believe the copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and other
intellectual property we use are important to our business, and any unauthorized
use of such intellectual property by third parties may adversely affect our
business and reputation. We rely on the intellectual property laws and
contractual arrangements with our employees, clients, business partners and
others to protect such intellectual property rights. Third parties may be able
to obtain and use such intellectual property without authorization. Moreover,
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property
rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources,
and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
We
may be subject to infringement and misappropriation claims in the future, which
may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantial damages and be
prevented from providing our services.
Our
success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without
infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. We may be subject
to litigation involving claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement,
or other violations of intellectual property rights of third parties. Future
litigation may cause us to incur significant expenses, and third-party claims,
if successfully asserted against us, may cause us to pay substantial damages,
seek licenses from third parties, pay ongoing royalties, redesign our services
or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject
to these claims. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation would likely be
costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key
personnel from our business operations.
Risks
Related to Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our
limited operating history and the unproven long-term potential of our business
model make evaluating our business and prospects difficult.
We were
incorporated on February 9, 2005 in the State of Delaware, EII was incorporated
on July 20, 2009 in the State of Delaware, Training Direct was formed on January
7, 2004 in the State of Connecticut and Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs,
Inc., from which we purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities in
August 2009, was incorporated on March 10, 1993 in the State of Iowa. As our
operating history is limited, the revenue and income potential of our business
and markets are yet to be fully proven. In addition, we are exposed to risks,
uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at
an early stage of development. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to
our ability to:
|
·
|
increase our student enrollment
by expanding the type, scope and technical sophistication of the
educational services we
offer;
|
·
|
respond effectively to
competitive pressures;
|
·
|
respond in a timely manner to
technological changes or resolve unexpected network interruptions;
|
·
|
comply with changes to regulatory
requirements;
|
·
|
maintain adequate control of our
costs and expenses;
|
·
|
increase awareness of our
educational programs; and
|
·
|
attract and retain qualified
management and employees.
|
We cannot
predict whether we will meet internal or external expectations of our future
performance. If we are not successful in addressing these risks and
uncertainties, our business, financial condition and results of operations may
be materially adversely affected.
14
Capital
requirements are difficult to plan in our industry. We currently expect that we
will need capital to fund our future acquisitions, educational program
development, technological infrastructure and sales and marketing
activities.
Our
ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety
of uncertainties, including:
·
|
investors’ perceptions of, and
demand for, securities of vocational, training and technical
schools;
|
·
|
conditions of the United States
and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
|
·
|
our future results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows;
|
·
|
governmental regulation of
educational program providers; and
|
·
|
economic, political and other
conditions in United States.
|
Any
failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, may
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations. For example, we may not be able to carry out parts of our growth
strategy to acquire vocational, training and/or technical schools that are
complementary to our existing business or necessary to maintain our growth and
competitiveness.
Our
business may be adversely affected by a further economic slowdown in the U.S. or
abroad or by an economic recovery in the U.S.
The U.S and much of the world economy
are in the midst of an economic downturn. We believe the current economic
downturn has contributed to a portion of our recent enrollment growth as an
increased number of working learners seek to advance their education to improve
job security or reemployment prospects. This effect cannot be quantified.
However, to the extent that the economic downturn has increased demand for our
programs, a subsequent economic recovery may eliminate this effect and reduce
such demand as fewer potential students seek to advance their education. This
reduction could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. A worsening of the economic
downturn may reduce the demand for our programs among students and the
willingness of employers to sponsor educational opportunities for their
employees, either of which could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We
may not be able to sustain our recent growth rate or profitability, and we may
not be able to manage future growth effectively.
Our ability to sustain our current rate
of growth or profitability depends on a number of factors, including our ability
to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, our ability to attract and retain
students, our ability to maintain operating margins, our ability to recruit and
retain high quality academic and administrative personnel and competitive
factors. In addition, growth may place a significant strain on our resources and
increase demands on our management information and reporting systems, financial
management controls, and personnel. Although we have made a substantial
investment in augmenting our financial and management information systems and
other resources to support future growth, we cannot assure you that we will have
adequate capacity to accommodate substantial growth or that we will be able to
manage further growth effectively. Failure to do so could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
15
Insiders
have substantial control over us, and they could delay or prevent a change in
our corporate control even if our other stockholders wanted it to
occur.
Our executive officers and directors
hold approximately 290% of our outstanding common stock, which includes (i)
shares owned by our officers and/or directors, (ii) shares attributable to
certain entities in which our officers and directors share beneficial ownership,
(iii) shares underlying our Series A Preferred Stock that will be converted into
shares of Florham Common Stock upon the filing of our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation for purposes of increasing our authorized shares to
50,000,000, and (iv) shares issuable upon exercise of stock options which have
vested as of the date of this prospectus. Accordingly, these stockholders are
able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the
election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This
could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even
if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
There
may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for
investors to sell their securities.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the current symbol "FHMS". There is a limited trading
market for our common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the
liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of
holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which
holders may be able to sell our common stock.
The market price of our common stock
may be volatile.
The
market price of our common stock has been and will likely continue to be highly
volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Bulletin
Board quoted stocks in particular. Some of the factors that may materially
affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as
changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions
or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our common
stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price
of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the
public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume
volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market
prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the
operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market
fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
The
outstanding convertible securities may adversely affect us in the future and
cause dilution to existing shareholders.
As
of September 27, 2010, we had 7,567,656 shares of common stock outstanding,
of which 179,641 are held in escrow and are subject to earnout provisions, and
250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, each of which shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted, on the basis of 49.11333 shares of
common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock (an aggregate of
12,278,333 shares of common stock) automatically upon the filing by us of an
amendment to its certificate of incorporation increasing our authorized shares
of common stock to 50,000,000 shares. In addition, there are outstanding 5-year
options to purchase an aggregate of 3,436,328 shares of common stock and
outstanding warrants to purchase 47,000 shares of common stock expiring on June
30, 2016 at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. On June 1, 2010, holders of
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 878,000 shares of our common stock
exercised such warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to which we issued an
aggregate of 862,034 shares to such holders. In addition, on June 30, 2010, we
consummated a private offering with two accredited investors and/or qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to which we sold and issued to the investors
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 70,500 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth
therein, beginning on June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2015. Moreover, on
September 28, 2010, we issued 5,000 shares of our common stock to the holder of
our January 2009 warrant upon exercise of such warrant in full by the holder at
an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock and the exercise of options and warrants will cause dilution in the
interests of other shareholders as a result of the additional common stock that
would be issued upon conversion and/or exercise. Moreover, subject to any
applicable lock-up restrictions, sales of the shares of our outstanding common
stock, shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and
shares issuable upon exercise of the options and warrants could have a
depressive effect on the price of our stock, particularly if there is not a
coinciding increase in demand by purchasers of our common stock. Further, the
terms on which we may obtain additional financing during the period any of such
securities remain outstanding may be adversely affected by the existence of
these securities as well.
Our
common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to
sell.
The SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be an equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market
price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and, therefore, it may be
designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This
designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose
certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from
the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to
purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of
brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of
investors to sell their shares.
16
OTCBB
securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of
their generally low prices and because OTCBB reporting requirements are less
stringent than those of the stock exchanges.
Patterns
of fraud and abuse include:
(a)
|
Control of the market for the
security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the
promoter or issuer;
|
(b)
|
Manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases;
|
(c)
|
“Boiler room" practices involving
high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by
inexperienced sales persons;
|
(d)
|
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask
differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
|
(e)
|
Wholesale dumping of the same
securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been
manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of
those prices with consequent investor
losses.
|
Our
management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny
stock market.
We
have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the
future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our
stock.
We have
never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying
any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return
on investment may be limited to the value of our stock. We plan to
retain any future earnings to finance growth.

This prospectus contains certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. When used in this prospectus or in any other presentation,
statements which are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan” or
“continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. They also include statements containing a projection of revenues,
earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other
financial terms.
The forward-looking statements in this
prospectus are based upon our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations
of our future operations and economic performance, taking into account the
information currently available to them. These statements are not statements of
historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,
some of which are not currently known to us, which may cause our actual results,
performance or financial condition to be materially different from the
expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or
imply in any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of
uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect current plans and
expectations and our future financial condition and results. These risks and
uncertainties include those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Specifically,
some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:
•
|
if we are not able to continue to successfully
recruit and retain our students, we will not be able to sustain our
revenue growth rate;
|
•
|
we are subject to risks relating to tuition
pricing, which could have a material adverse affect on our financial
results;
|
•
|
our financial performance depends, in part, on our
ability to keep pace with changing market needs and technology; if we fail
to keep pace or fail in implementing or adapting to new technologies, our
business may be adversely affected;
|
•
|
we are subject to risks relating to our
information technology, system applications and security systems, which
could have a material adverse affect on our financial results;
|
•
|
future acquisitions may have an adverse effect on
our ability to manage our business;
|
•
|
if regulators do not approve our domestic
acquisitions, the acquired schools’ state licenses, accreditation, and
ability to participate in Title IV programs (if applicable) may
be impaired;
|
•
|
if regulators do not approve or delay their
approval of transactions involving a change of control of our company, our
state licenses and accreditation may be impaired;
|
•
|
if any regulatory audit, investigation or other
proceeding finds us not in compliance with the numerous laws and
regulations applicable to the postsecondary education industry,
we may not be able to successfully challenge such finding and our
business could suffer;
|
•
|
if we fail to maintain any of our state
authorizations, we would lose our ability to operate in that state;
|
•
|
government regulations relating to the Internet
could increase our cost of doing business, affect our ability to grow or
otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
|
•
|
our success depends on attracting and retaining
qualified personnel;
|
•
|
we may not be able to adequately protect our
intellectual property, and we may be exposed to infringement claims by
third parties;
|
•
|
we may be subject to infringement and
misappropriation claims in the future, which may cause us to incur
significant expenses, pay substantial damages and be prevented
from providing our services;
|
•
|
our limited operating history and the unproven
long-term potential of our business model make evaluating our business
and prospects difficult;
|
•
|
we may need additional capital and may not be able
to obtain such capital on acceptable terms;
|
•
|
our business may be adversely affected by a
further economic slowdown in the U.S. or abroad or by an economic recovery
in the U.S.;
|
•
|
we may not be able to sustain our recent growth
rate or profitability, and we may not be able to manage future growth
effectively;
|
•
|
insiders have substantial control over us, and
they could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control even if our
other stockholders wanted it to occur;
|
•
|
there may not be sufficient liquidity in the
market for our securities in order for investors to sell their securities;
|
•
|
the market price of our common stock may be
volatile;
|
•
|
the outstanding convertible securities may
adversely affect us in the future and cause dilution to existing
shareholders;
|
•
|
our common stock may be considered a “penny stock”
and may be difficult to sell; and
|
•
|
we have not paid dividends in the past and do not
expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be
limited to the value of our stock.
|
Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from
those projected in these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required
under applicable securities laws. Except to the extent required by applicable
laws and regulations, we do not undertake any obligation to update these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
All forward-looking statements included
in this prospectus attributable to us, or to any person acting on our behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or
referred to in this section. Except to the extent that applicable laws and
regulations require, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are, either issued and
outstanding, or issuable upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants owned

of the net proceeds from the sale of shares by that stockholder. We will not
receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares
common stock covered by this prospectus. However, upon the exercise of warrants
by payments of cash, we will receive $2,350, in the aggregate, assuming all of
the warrants are exercised. To the extent that we receive cash upon the exercise
of the warrants, we expect to use that cash for working capital and for general
corporate purposes.

discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors,
including current financial condition, operating results and current and
anticipated cash needs.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
WE URGE YOU TO READ THE FOLLOWING
DISCUSSION IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE
NOTES THERETO BEGINNING ON PAGE F-1. THIS DISCUSSION MAY CONTAIN
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS,
PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED BY THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF A NUMBER OF FACTORS,

ended June 30, 2010. On December 31, 2009, Florham Consulting completed a
Reverse Merger with Educational Investors, Inc. (“EII”). Under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share
exchange is considered to be an in substance capital transaction, as opposed to
a business combination. Accordingly, the share exchange is equivalent
to the issuance of stock by Florham for the net monetary assets of EII,
accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital
structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange is identical to
that resulting from a reverse acquisition, with no goodwill being
recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post-reverse
acquisition fiscal 2009 historical financial statement of the legal acquirer,
Florham, are those of the legal acquire which is considered to the accounting
acquirer, EII. Share and per share amounts reported have been
adjusted to reflect the recapitalization resulting from the reverse merger.
EII was incorporated on July 20,
2009. EII through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Anesthesia, Inc. (“Valley”), purchased
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Valley Anesthesia Educational
Programs, Inc. (“VAEP”) effective August 20, 2009. EII acquired the Membership
Interest in Training Direct LLC (“Training Direct”) effective December 31,
2009.

EII was
incorporated for the purpose of acquiring vocational, training and technical
schools, with an initial emphasis on the health care and medical
industries. Through its Valley Anesthesia, Inc. subsidiary, EII
provides comprehensive review and update courses and study materials that aid
Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (“SRNA”) and Graduate Registered Nurse
Anesthetists (“GRNA”) in preparation for the National Certifying Exam (“NCE”)
throughout the continental United States. Through its Training Direct
subsidiary, EII provides “distance learning” and “residential training”
educational programs for students to become eligible for entry-level employment
in a variety of fields and industries. The company strives to assist those who
may not have realized their full potential in the workplace in finding a new
career direction and progressing their learning skills necessary to reach their
earning and personal development possibilities and goals. Training Direct
maintains approvals from the Connecticut Commissioner of Higher Education, the
Connecticut Department of Health Services and the National Health Career

to inspections and approvals by outside examining committees.
21
Acquisitions
Effective
August 20, 2009, Valley purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities
of Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. for $3,838,215. The
purchase price included $2,000,000 cash, a promissory note at fair value of
$1,702,883, the present value of an earnout of $79,990 and net liabilities
assumed of $55,342. 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.
On December 16, 2009, EII entered into
an Interest Purchase Agreement ("TDI Agreement") with Training Direct
LLC ("TDI") and its members and the Company pursuant to which EII acquired all
outstanding membership interests, on a fully diluted basis, of TDI in exchange
for (a) $200,000 cash, (b) shares of the Company'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 the Company'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. The closing of the TDI Agreement
occurred on December 31, 2009. "Discounted VWAP" is defined in the TDI Agreement
as seventy percent (70%) of the "VWAP" of the Company's Common Stock, but is in
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 the Company'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 the
Company's Common Stock on the applicable national securities exchange
for each such day and the denominator of which is the total volume of the
Company'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 the Company's Common Stock trades is open for
trading. The Discounted VWAP for the twenty Trading Days after the effective
date of the Reverse Merger was $1.67. Accordingly, an aggregate of
359,281 Acquisition Shares and 179,641 Escrow Shares have been issued.
Florham
Consulting Corp. and Subsidiaries
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial information has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, which requires us to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and
liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the
end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates
based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current
business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on
available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis
for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the
financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those
estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of
judgment than others in their application.
When
reviewing our financial statements, you should consider (1) our selection of
critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting
the application of those policies, and (3) the sensitivity of reported results
to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following
accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in
the preparation of our financial statements.
Use
of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
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, estimates of fair value when
recording share based compensation, future cash flows associated with impairment
testing for long-lived assets, deferred tax assets and the related valuation
allowances and contingencies, including going concern assessments.
22
Cash
The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which
may at times exceed federally insured limits.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided in
amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the related assets over their useful
lives using the straight line method.
Maintenance,
repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense when
incurred. Replacements and major renewals are
capitalized.
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.
Website
– Online Testing
Purchased
computer software is capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life
starting when it is placed in service.
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.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company derives its revenue substantially from fees and tuition charged for
courses and manuals. The fees are recognized as revenue at the time
of the 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. Fees for 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 course fees are
received in advance of the time of the attendance at the course and when the
manual and study guides are shipped. Deferred revenue is also recorded for
undelivered course hours in excess of tuition billed. Tuition billed
to students is recognized as revenue, determined by the percentage of completion
method. The Company does not accept returns of manuals and study
guides. Therefore, the principals of revenue recognition are
considered and applied in the Company’s recognition of revenue.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $350,000 after
taking into account all current assets and all current liabilities, which
liabilities include approximately $272,000 that will be earned during fiscal
year 2010, as compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $164,000 at
December 31, 2009.
Net cash
used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010
was approximately $363,000, which was primarily related to the Company incurring
a loss for the period. Net cash provided by operating activities was
approximately $317,000, which was for the period from inception (July 20, 2009)
of EII through December 31, 2009.
Net cash
used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of
approximately $51,000 was primarily related to the cash used for the purchase of
fixed assets. Net cash used in investing activities for the period
from the inception of EII (July 20, 2009) through December 31, 2009 was
approximately $2,377,000. This primarily related to the cash used for
the purchase of certain assets of Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc.
in the amount of $2,000,000, the acquisition of Training Direct in the amount of
$200,000 and the purchase of fixed assets, the website for online testing and
other assets in the approximate amount of $101,000.
Net cash
provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of
approximately $140,000 was related to the proceeds from issuance of notes in the
amount of $150,000 net of payments of capital lease obligations in the
approximate amount of $10,000. Net cash provided by financing
activities was related to the period from inception of EII (July 20, 2009)
through December 31, 2009 and was from the net proceeds from the sale of common
stock and options.
23
Although we expect that our available
funds and funds to be generated from our ongoing operations will be sufficient
to meet our anticipated needs for 12 months, we may need to obtain additional
capital to continue to grow our business. Our cash requirements may vary
materially from those currently anticipated due to changes in our operations,
including the timing of our receipt of revenues. Our ability to obtain
additional financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing
capital market conditions, as well as our business performance. There can
be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to arrange additional
financing on terms satisfactory to us or at all.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The
Company, through its bank, issued an irrevocable letter of credit to the State
of Connecticut Department of Higher Education in the amount of $40,000, as
required. This letter of credit may not be extended beyond December
31, 2021. As collateral for the letter of credit, the Company purchased a
Certificate of Deposit with the bank in the amount of $40,000 which is included
in Other Assets in the accompanying financial statements.
The
Company conducts its operations from leased facilities.
The
Company does not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

the amount of approximately $755,000 primarily as the result of the Company
granting 548,350 options to directors and consultants, which were exercisable as
of December 31, 2009. The fair value of the options was determined by
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At December 31, 2009, there

non-vested stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2 years.

25
Net loss. The
Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,074,000 for the period ended
December 31, 2009. The Company’s fiscal 2009 revenue less related
cost of revenue and selling and administrative expenses resulted in income of
approximately $252,000 prior to acquisition related costs of approximately
$393,000, stock based compensation costs of approximately $755,000, depreciation
and amortization attributable primarily to the amortization of intangible assets
allocated in the purchase of certain assets and assumption of certain
liabilities from Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. in the approximate
amount of $140,000, and interest on notes issued to sellers in connection with
the purchase of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities from Valley
Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. in the approximate amount of $37,000. This

Revenue. Net
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $1,774,000
compared to approximately $1,865,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This
is a decrease of approximately $91,000 or 4%. While course attendance
increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 2,085 students to 2,147
students for the year ended December 31, 2009, the orders and shipments for the
2010 manuals and study guides at December 31, 2009 were at a reduced level from
the orders and shipments for the 2009 manuals and study guides at December 31,
2008. The company attributes this to a delay in approval of student loans at
December 31, 2009 resulting in increased orders in the beginning of the year
2010.
Cost of
Revenue. Cost of revenue was approximately $418,000 (23% of
net revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to approximately
$467,000 (25% of net revenue) for the year ended December 31 2008, or a decrease
of approximately $49,000 or 10%. The costs of conference facilities
at a hotel for an additional course was offset
by the cost of printing of manuals and study guides due to the
reduction in shipments of the 2010 manuals and study guides as discussed above.
Selling and Administrative
Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses were
approximately $627,000 (35% of net revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2009
as compared to approximately $660,000 (35% of net revenue) for the year ended
December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $33,000 or 10%.
Acquisition
Costs. EII incurred approximately $393,000 (22% of net
revenue) of costs related to the purchase of certain assets and assumption of
certain liabilities of Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. and the
acquisition of Training Direct, LLC during the year ended December 31, 2009.
26
Stock Based
Compensation. The Company recorded stock based compensation in
the amount of approximately $755,000 primarily as the result of the Company
granting 548,350 options to directors and consultants, which were exercisable as
of December 31, 2009. The fair value of the options was determined by
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At December 31, 2009, there
was approximately $460,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
non-vested stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2 years.
Depreciation and
Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the year ended
December 31, 2009 was approximately $147,000 (8% of net revenue) compared to
approximately $10,000 (.5% of net revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2008,
an increase of approximately $ 137,000 or 720%. The amortization of
intangible assets allocated in the purchase of certain assets and assumption of
certain liabilities from Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. accounted
for this increase.
Interest expense. Interest
expense in the amount of approximately $38,000 relates to the note issued to
sellers in connection with the purchase of certain assets and assumption of
certain liabilities from Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc.
Other
expense. Interest and dividend income was approximately $
4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to approximately $5,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $1,000 or
25%. VAEP invested excess cash in interest bearing bank accounts.

December 31, 2009, as compared to net income of approximately $732,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately
1,331,000. The decrease in net income was mainly due the acquisition
related costs of $393,000, stock based compensation of $755,000, increased
amortization of intangible assets of $137,000, and interest expense of
approximately $38,000.
Valley
Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2008, we had negative working capital of approximately $540,000,
including cash and cash equivalents, as compared to approximately $550,000 as of
December 31, 2007. The negative working capital included deferred revenue of
approximately $705,000 and $765,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. This deferred revenue is earned in the following
year.
Net
cash provided by operating activities was approximately $673,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $717,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The decrease in cash provided by operating
activities was related to the increase in net income of approximately $100,000
offset by the decrease in deferred income of approximately $60,000.
Net cash
used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
related to the purchase of fixed assets in the approximate amounts of $9,000 and
$17,000, respectively.
Net cash
used by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were
for distributions to shareholders in the approximate amounts of $723,000 and
$599,000, respectively. VAEP elected to be taxed as an S Corporation
under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statues.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial information has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, which requires us to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and
liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the
end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates
based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current
business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on
available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis
for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the
financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those
estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of
judgment than others in their application.
When
reviewing our financial statements, you should consider (1) our selection of
critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting
the application of those policies, and (3) the sensitivity of reported results
to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following
accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in
the preparation of our financial statements.
27
Use
of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
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,
future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets and
contingencies.
Cash
The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which
may at times exceed federally insured limits.
Fixed
assets
Fixed
assets are recorded 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.
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.
Income
taxes
The
Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue
Code and applicable state statues. Accordingly, no provision has been made
for federal or state taxes.
The
Company has elected to defer the application of ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes. ASC 740 is effective for the Company’s fiscal period beginning
January 1, 2009. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements.
Although
the Company is considered a pass-through entity for Federal and state income tax
purposes, ASC 740 is applicable. The Financial Accounting Standards Board
has deferred guidance on the application of the provisions of ASC 740 as they
relate to pass-through entities. However, certain taxing jurisdictions do
not recognize the Company’s income tax status as a pass-through entity.
The Company’s accounting policy for evaluating uncertain tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in income tax filings, should they arise, is based on its
assessment of tax positions that have uncertainty as to the probability of being
sustained upon examination by those jurisdictions. Therefore, the Company
may be subject to income tax liability-related exposures.
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 the
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.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to investors.

in revenue.
Training
Direct, LLC.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, we had working capital of approximately $101,000, including
cash and cash equivalents, as compared to approximately $50,000 and $41,000 as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Net
cash provided by operating activities was approximately $63,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2009 compared to approximately $19,000 and $51,000 for the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in
cash provided from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was
primarily related to net income of approximately $86,000. The
decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December
31, 2008 was related to the decrease in net loss of approximately $11,000 and by
the decrease in the changes of operating assets and liabilities of approximately
$43,000.
Net cash
used in investing activities in the amount of approximately $136,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2009 was related to the purchase of fixed assets in the
approximate amount of $96,000 in anticipation of the company moving into a new
facility in October 2009 and the purchase of a Certificate of Deposit with a
bank in the amount of $40,000, which is held as collateral for a letter of
credit in the amount of $40,000 issued as required by the State of Connecticut
Department of Higher Education. For the year ended December 31, 2008,
cash used in investing activities related to the purchase of fixed assets in the
approximate amount of $3,000. There were no investing activities for
the year ended December 31, 2007.
Net
cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2009
was from net contributions from members in the approximate amount of $104,000
less payments on equipment leases in the approximate amount of
$8,000. Net cash used by financing activities for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 were for distributions to members in the approximate
amounts of $7,000 and $53,000, respectively. Training Direct is a
limited liability company which is treated as a partnership for income tax
purposes. Accordingly, the members are responsible for income taxes
on their proportionate share of the company’s income.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial information has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, which requires us to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and
liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the
end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates
based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current
business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on
available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis
for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the
financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those
estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of
judgment than others in their application.
29
When
reviewing our financial statements, you should consider (1) our selection of
critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting
the application of those policies, and (3) the sensitivity of reported results
to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following
accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in
the preparation of our financial statements.
Use
of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
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,
future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets and
contingencies.
Cash
The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which
may at times exceed federally insured limits.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance 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.
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, based on each student’s
academic progress.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The Company, through its bank, issued
an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $40,000, as required by the
State of Connecticut Department of Education. This letter of credit
may not be extended beyond December 31, 2021. As collateral for the
letter of credit, the Company purchased a Certificate of Deposit with the bank
in the amount of $40,000.
The Company conducts its operations
from leased facilities.
The Company does not have any other
off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that
are material to investors.

31, 2008, an increase of approximately $315,000 or 38%. The number of
students enrolled in courses during the year ended December 31, 2009 was 864
compared to 714 students enrolled during the year ended December 31, 2008, an

Costs. Student instructional costs increased from
approximately $269,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to approximately
$391,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $122,000 or
45%. The increase
is proportionate to the increase in revenue and was principally due to the
increase in salaries for instructors in the approximate amount of $87,000 and
other instructional costs, uniforms and supplies of approximately
$35,000. Class size has consistently been maintained at 10 to 12
students.

approximately $160,000 compared to approximately $152,000 for the year ended

were approximately $73,000 compared to approximately $56,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $17,000 or 30%. The
increase was generally attributable to the increased cost of rent of

five class rooms compared to the previous facility which contained 2
classrooms and additional costs of approximately $6,000 for repairs
and maintenance.

approximately $80,000 or 23%. For the year ended December 31, 2009
compared to the year ended December 30, 2008, salaries increased by
approximately $56,000 primarily due the addition of one administrative staff
person and compensation adjustments.
Net income (loss). Net
income was approximately $69,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as
compared to a net loss of approximately $10,000 for the year ended December 31,

BUSINESS
Prior to
the reverse merger, we were a publicly reporting Delaware corporation offering
Internet professional services, including providing our clients with an
integrated set of strategic creative and technology services that enable such
clients to effect and maximize their Internet business. As a result
of the reverse merger, we will carry out the business and operations of the EII
Group.
Introduction
We currently own and operate vocational
training and technical schools. Through our acquisition of Educational Investors
Inc., we have acquired schools that provide vocational education for the
potential employees in the heath care and medical industries. We have also
recently entered into agreements to acquire additional affiliated schools that
provide educational skills in the culinary industry.
The
Reverse Merger and Acquisition of Training Direct
The Reverse Merger
On December 16, 2009, we executed an
agreement and plan of merger with EII Acquisition Corp. (a newly formed
acquisition subsidiary of Florham), Educational Investors, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“EII”) and its security holders, Sanjo Squared, LLC, Kinder
Investments, LP, Joseph Bianco and Anil Narang (collectively, the “EII
Securityholders”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, Mergerco was merged
with and into EII, with EII as the surviving corporation of the merger, as a
result of which EII became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. In
connection with the merger, the EII Securityholders received (i) an aggregate of
6,000,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) options to acquire 2,558,968
additional shares of our common stock, 50% of which have an initial exercise
price of $0.41 per share and 50% of which have an initial exercise price of
$0.228 per share, subject to certain performance targets set forth in the merger
agreement, and (iii) 250,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, with each
share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically convertible into 49.11333 shares
of common stock upon the filing by us of an amendment to our certificate of
incorporation which increases the authorized shares of our common stock to at
least 50,000,000.
Our Board
of Directors, by written consent dated as of December 23, 2009, approved the
reverse merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the
merger agreement. Prior to the consummation of the reverse merger, on December
23, 2009, David Stahler, our former sole officer and director, solicited
consents from a majority of the then stockholders via electronic mail, facsimile
and telephone seeking approval of the reverse merger and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated in the merger agreement. However, as set
forth below, (a) shareholder approval of the reverse merger consummated in
December 2009 was not required under the laws of the State of Delaware as a
precondition to consummation of such transaction, and (b) as a result we have
amended our information statement to limit the items to approval for
our name change, our share capital increase and our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan.
The reverse merger was structured as a
“reverse triangular merger” in which we, as a public shell company, formed a
wholly-owned merger subsidiary in the State of Delaware on December 16, 2010
named EII Acquisition Corp. (“Mergerco”). Pursuant to the merger
agreement, Mergerco was merged with and into EII, with EII as the surviving
corporation of the reverse merger. Each of EII and Mergerco were the
“constituent corporations” (as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law)
to the reverse merger. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we issued
the merger consideration (its common stock and preferred stock) to the
stockholders of EII in the reverse merger. As a result of such merger, EII (as
the surviving entity of the constituent corporations) became our wholly-owned
subsidiary. On December 28, 2009, a Certificate of Merger of Domestic
Corporations was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware,
effective as of December 31, 2009.
Although as set forth above we elected
to obtain consents to the merger from holders of a majority of our then
outstanding shares, neither such consents nor any other shareholder approvals
were required as a pre-condition to the valid consummation of the reverse merger
in December 2009. We were not a constituent corporation to the
reverse merger and neither our existence, certificate of incorporation, or
authorized common stock was affected by the reverse merger of Mergerco with and
into EII. Pursuant to well settled Delaware law, the approval of a
corporation’s shareholders would not be
required as a condition to the valid consummation of a reverse triangular
merger, so long as the shares of common stock and preferred stock issued by us
as consideration for the acquisition of the target company (EII, in our case)
had been previously authorized under our certificate of
incorporation. As we had a sufficient number of authorized shares of
common stock and preferred stock to issue to the EII stockholders in order to
consummate the reverse triangular merger transaction between EII and Mergerco,
our directors had both the statutory and certificate of incorporation authority
to issue such shares for any permissible corporate purpose, such as the EII
acquisition. In substance, Delaware treats reverse triangular merger
transactions in the same manner as though we had issued from our authorized and
previously unissued common stock, additional shares directly to the stockholders
of EII in exchange for 100% of the EII shares.
Approval
of the reverse merger by the stockholders of EII was required and was
obtained. In addition, shareholder approval was required from the
sole stockholder of Mergerco, which in this case was our company. In
such connection, on December 23, 2009, our board of directors approved of the
reverse merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by
unanimous written consent. Based upon the foregoing, since approval of the
Company’s shareholders was not required for the reverse merger, it was
permissible for the reverse merger to be consummated and effective on December
31, 2009.
The closing of the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement was 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 our company and the prior
or simultaneous closing of the acquisition of Training Direct, LLC (as discussed
below). Accordingly, on December 31, 2009, the parties to the merger
agreement deemed all closing conditions to be satisfied and accordingly, the
reverse merger was consummated. As a result of the reverse merger, we believe we
are no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
On
December 23, 2009 and May 19, 2010 our board of directors, and on May 19, 2010
Kinder Investments, L.P. and Sanjo Squared, LLC, which are shareholders owning
89.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock on May 19, 2010, approved
by written consent: (i) our corporate name change; (ii) the increase in our
authorized shares of common stock; and (iii) our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan for
key employees, directors, consultants and others providing services to us,
pursuant to which up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock shall be authorized for
issuance thereunder. The General Partner of Kinder Investments, L.P. is Nesher,
LLC. The person having voting, dispositive or investment powers over Nesher is
Dov Perlysky, Managing Member. Mr. Perlysky is a member of the Company’s board
of directors and therefore, Kinder is a beneficial owner and affiliate of our
company. The persons sharing voting, dispositive or investment powers over Sanjo
Squared, LLC (50% each) are Joseph J. Bianco and Anil Narang, Managers. Mr.
Bianco is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of
our company and Mr. Narang is the President, Chief Operating Officer and a
member of the board of directors of our company. Accordingly, Sanjo
is a beneficial owner and affiliate of the Company. Kinder and Sanjo proposed to
execute, and on May 19, 2010 entered into, shareholder consents approving the
name change, share capital increase and 2009 Plan and such consents did not
constitute a solicitation on behalf of our company.
The
determination by our existing board of directors and majority shareholders
(Kinder and Sanjo) in May 2010 to approve our name change to Oak Tree
Educational Partners, Inc., as well as the share capital increase and the 2009
Plan, was made independently of the proposed merger agreement and related
transaction with Culinary Tech Center LLC and Professional Culinary Institute
LLC and its affiliates (the “Culinary Group Acquisition”), and was in no way
related to such proposed Culinary Group Acquisition. In addition, consummation
of such Culinary Group Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including
our obtaining external financing and the approval of the New York State
Department of Education. Our proposed Culinary
Group Acquisition is described on pages 6 and 35 of this prospectus.
Pursuant
to the terms of the reverse merger, we agreed to cause (i) the shares of our
common stock outstanding prior to the reverse merger; and (ii) up to 930,000
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants expiring on June 30,
2016 at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, to be registered for resale under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as soon as practicable following the
effective time of the reverse merger.
At the closing of the reverse merger,
our sole officer resigned and Joseph Bianco was appointed as our Chief Executive
Officer, Anil Narang was appointed as our President and Chief Operating Officer,
and Kellis Veach was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. In
addition, our sole director resigned and Joseph Bianco, Anil Narang, Dov
Perlysky, Howard Spindel and David Cohen were appointed as our directors, with
such resignation and appointments effective on January 22, 2010, representing
the tenth day after mailing our Schedule 14f-1 Information Statement to our
shareholders of record.
Acquisition of Training Direct
On December 16, 2009, EII entered into
an interest purchase agreement with the members of Training Direct,
and our company, pursuant to which EII acquired all outstanding membership
interests, on a fully diluted basis, of Training Direct in exchange for (a)
$200,000 cash, (b) shares of our 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 20 “Trading Days” (as defined below)
immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger, and (c) shares of
our 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 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 purchase agreement. “Discounted VWAP”
is defined in the purchase agreement as 70% of the “VWAP” of our common stock,
but in no event less than $0.40 per share. “VWAP” is defined in the purchase
agreement as a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of (i)
the closing trading price for our common stock on the applicable national
securities exchange on each Trading Day of the 20 Trading Days following the
consummation of the reverse merger, and (ii) the volume of our common stock on
the applicable national securities exchange for each such day and the
denominator of which is the total volume of our 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 purchase agreement as any day on which the New
York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange on which our common
stock trades is open for trading. The Discounted VWAP for the twenty
Trading Days after the effective date of the reverse merger is
$1.67. Accordingly, on March 3, 2010 we issued an aggregate of
359,281 Acquisition Shares and 179,641 Escrow Shares.
33
The closing of the purchase agreement
was subject to a number of conditions including, without limitation, approval of
the change of ownership of Training Direct by the Connecticut Department of
Higher Education, the consummation of the reverse merger, and execution of a
certain employment agreement and consulting agreement. On December 31, 2009, the
parties to the purchase agreement deemed all closing conditions to be satisfied
and accordingly, the purchase and sale of the Training Direct membership
interests was consummated simultaneous with the reverse merger.
The following diagrams sets forth our
corporate structure, both before and after giving effect to consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the reverse merger and the Training Direct
acquisition described herein:
(1)
Corporate name will be changed to “Oak Tree Educational Partners, Inc.”.
(2)
Effective August 20, 2009, Valley Anesthesia, Inc. purchased certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities and operations of Valley Anesthesia Educational
Programs, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $3,838,215, plus certain
contingent payments which are subject to the achievement of predetermined
operating milestones
Our
History
Prior to the reverse merger, we were an
Internet professional services firm. We provided our clients with an integrated
set of strategic, creative and technology services that enabled them to effect
and maximize their Internet business. Our services included advising clients on
developing business models for their Internet activities, identifying
opportunities to improve operational efficiencies through online opportunities
and planning for the operations and organization necessary to support an online
business. Our services also included developing graphic designs and web sites
for our clients. We also recommended and installed appropriate hardware and
software networks to enable online sales, support and communication, and managed
the hosting of clients' websites in certain cases.
In 2006, we entered into our first
Internet consulting agreement and since then completed web design and project
work for another five clients located in New York. For the year ended December
31, 2009, we had consulting revenues of $16,252, as compared to $14,025 for the
year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in the 2009 period was due to fewer
projects completed for new and existing clients.
In 2009, our sole officer and director
determined that there was inadequate demand for our consulting services and
sought to redirect our focus to acquiring a growing operating business. On
December 31, 2009, we consummated the reverse merger with EII simultaneous with
EII’s acquisition of Training Direct. As a result of the reverse
merger, we will carry out the business and operations of the EII Group, and we
discontinued our consulting operations.

Our
Current Businesses
EII
EII was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 20, 2009 for the purpose of
acquiring vocational, training and technical schools, with an initial emphasis
on the health care and medical industries. EII’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley
Anesthesia, Inc., was incorporated on July 15, 2009 in the State of Delaware.
Effective August 20, 2009, Valley Anesthesia, Inc. purchased certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities and operations of Valley Anesthesia Educational
Programs, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $3,838,215, plus certain
contingent payments which are subject to the achievement of predetermined
operating milestones.
Valley
Through
Valley, EII provides comprehensive review and update courses and study materials
that aid Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (“SRNA”) and Graduate Registered
Nurse Anesthetists (“GRNA”) in preparation for the National Certifying Exam
(“NCE”) throughout the continental United States.
Valley’s
principal service is a three-day comprehensive review and update course designed
to prepare SRNAs for the NCE. Valley also offers a 600-page basic manual.
Additionally, Valley offers MemoryMasterTM, which
is a collection of approximately 4,000 questions and answers designed to further
assist its students in preparation for the NCE. Valley presented 10 courses in
2007, 11 courses in 2008 and 12 courses in 2009. In addition, Valley has 13
courses scheduled for 2010.
Valley’s
revenue is currently generated from three sources: (i) seminars, (ii) manuals,
and (iii) MemoryMasterTM. In
addition, Valley anticipates that there will be a fourth revenue source
beginning in 2010, which is from on-line practice examinations that management
expects to launch in the third quarter of 2010.
Training
Direct
EII’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Training Direct, LLC, was organized as a limited
liability company in the State of Connecticut on January 7,
2004. Training Direct provides “distance learning” and “residential
training” educational programs for students to become eligible for entry-level
employment in a variety of fields and industries. Training Direct strives to
assist those who may not have realized their full potential in the workplace by
finding such individuals a new career direction and assisting in progressing
their learning skills necessary to reach their earning and personal development
possibilities and goals. Training Direct maintains licenses from the Connecticut
Commissioner of Higher Education, the Connecticut Department of Health Services
and the National Health Career Association, and is an Eligible Training Provider
under the Workforce Investment Act. Such licenses require that Training Direct
have a competent faculty, offer educationally sound and up-to-date courses and
course materials, and be subject to inspections and approvals by outside
examining committees.
Our Proposed
Culinary Acquisition and Corporate Structure
Effective as of May 21, 2010, we
entered into a membership interest purchase agreement and a separate agreement
and plan of merger (the “Culinary Purchase Agreements”) with the equity owners
of Culinary Tech Center LLC (“CTC”) and Professional Culinary Institute LLC
(“PCI”), both New York limited liability companies, and Educational Training
Institute, Inc., a New York corporation (collectively, the “Culinary Group”).
Joseph Monaco, one of the principals of the Culinary Group was a former owner of
Training Direct. We are seeking to acquire the Culinary Group for $5.5 million,
consisting of $3 million cash and $2.5 million of our common stock. The
agreements also includes two earn-out provisions consisting of (i) an additional
$2.0 million of our common stock and $500,000 in cash if the Culinary Group
achieves 2010 or 2011 pre-tax income hurdles of $1.65 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, and (ii) an additional $750,000 in cash if, among other things,
the Culinary Group achieves a 2010 pre-tax income hurdle of $2.1 million.
Under the terms of the merger
agreement, Educational Training Institute (“ETI”) will be merged into our newly
formed wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary with ETI as the surviving corporation
of the merger. The ETI stockholders will receive $2.5 million of our common
stock to be valued at the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our common
stock as traded on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board or other national securities
exchange for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing date. In
addition, the ETI stockholders are entitled to receive contingent merger
consideration in the form of $2,000,000 payable in the form of additional shares
of our common stock, based upon the Culinary Group reaching $1.65 million and
$1.9 million of cumulative pre-tax income levels in each of 2010 and 2011. The
contingent merger consideration is valued based on the VWAP of our common stock
for the 20 trading days prior to determination of the applicable pre-tax income
of the Culinary Group in fiscal 2010 and 201l. The merger agreement also permits
the ETI stockholders to require us to repurchase for cash up to $500,000 of the
contingent merger consideration in the event the 2010 or 2011 target pre-tax
income levels are achieved.
35
Under the terms of the membership
interest purchase agreement with Messrs. Joseph Monaco and Harold Kaplan (the
sole members of CTC and PCI), immediately following consummation of the merger
referred to above, ETI (then our wholly-owned subsidiary) will purchase from
Messrs. Monaco and Kaplan 100% of the members interests equity of each of CTC
and PCI. The purchase price for such equity interests is $3.0 million, payable
at closing in cash in equal amounts to Messrs. Monaco and Kaplan. The purchase
agreement also provides that in the event the Culinary Group achieves the above
target pre-tax income in 2010 or fiscal 2011, we are obligated to pay an
additional $500,000 to the former members of CTC and PCI. In addition, in the
event that the Culinary Group is able to obtain in 2010 an additional five year
agency agreement with New York State that provides minimum annual revenues of
$1.5 million and $450,000 of incremental pre-tax profits in 2010, as a result of
which the cumulative pre-tax income of the Culinary Group shall be greater than
$2.1 million in fiscal 2010, then an additional $750,000 shall be payable in
cash to the members of CTC and PCI by not later than December 31, 2011.
At closing of the transactions
contemplated by both the merger and purchase agreements, Joseph Monaco and
Harold Kaplan will enter into employment agreements with our company expiring
December 31, 2013, pursuant to which they shall serve as our Executive Vice
Presidents, and the President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, of the
Culinary Group. Such executives shall each receive base salaries of $150,000 in
2010, increasing to $200,000 in 2011 and $250,000 in each of 2012 and 2013, and
shall be entitled to discretionary bonuses, as determined by our board of
directors.
Consummation of the Culinary Group
acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, our obtaining the
requisite financing, approval by the New York State Department of Education of
the change of control of the Culinary Group, and completion of the necessary
audits of the historical financial statements of the Culinary Group. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to consummate the Culinary Group
acquisition or, if consummated, that it will prove to be beneficial to us.
The following diagrams set forth our
proposed corporate structure, assuming consummation of the Culinary Group
acquisition and our proposed corporate name change:

Valley’s
Program Offerings
Seminars
Each
review and update course includes 26 hours over a three-day time period. The
courses are located throughout the United States in areas with high
concentrations of nursing programs. Seminars are typically held in hotel
conference rooms located close to airports to minimize logistical issues for
traveling students.
Registration for the seminars can be
completed online, by mail or by telephone. Registration for courses for the
following year occurs at the end of August. Once the registration period has
commenced, there is significant enrollment in the seminars within a couple days.
Seminars in Cleveland and Philadelphia have traditionally had the highest
student enrollments with two courses in Cleveland that included 217 and 216
students, respectively, and 215 students in Philadelphia in 2007. In 2008, the
seminars had enrollments for two courses in Philadelphia of 224 and 220
students, respectively, and in Cleveland for two courses of 219 and 216
students, respectively. In 2009, the seminars had enrollments for two courses in
Cleveland of 211 and 209 students, respectively, a course in Philadelphia with
enrollment of 218 students and a course in Dallas with enrollment of 217
students.
37
Manuals
Valley
publishes a course manual which is purchased by students enrolled in the
seminars and others. The course manual consists of over 600 pages and is printed
by a third party. While the volume is fairly substantial, the complexity of the
printing is not excessive and the manuals are not bound. Production costs were
approximately $175,000 in 2007, $186,000 in 2008 and $182,000 in 2009. The
manuals are ordered from the printers each fall after registration has begun for
the following year’s courses and correspondingly, the majority of the printing
costs are incurred in the fourth quarter. Since the per unit cost to print 100
manuals is the same as the cost to print one, Valley only orders enough books to
meet its known demand. As Valley receives additional orders, it places orders
with its vendor to print the required quantity to meet the additional demand.
MemoryMasterTM
Valley
offers its MemoryMasterTM
study guide collection of approximately 4,000 questions and answers to aid its
students in preparation for the NCE by facilitating the memorization and
understanding of a large body of anesthesia-related facts, concepts and issues.
MemoryMasterTM
content is categorized according to the outline provided by the Council on
Certification of Nurse Anesthesia, which includes:
|
·
|
basic and related clinical
sciences;
|
|
·
|
equipment, instrumentation and
technology;
|
|
·
|
basic principles of
anesthesia;
|
|
·
|
advanced principles of
anesthesia; and
|
|
·
|
professional
issues.
|
MemoryMasterTM is
offered in two forms: (i) a bound, soft covered book, and (ii) flash
cards. The book provides the entire MemoryMasterTM content
in a side-by-side format, with questions appearing on the left side of each page
and the corresponding answers on the right side.
MemoryMasterTM is
printed by the same third party source as the course manuals. MemoryMasterTM can
also be ordered from the printers on an as needed basis. Management estimates
that MemoryMasterTM
accounted for approximately $340,000 of revenue in 2009. Historically, the
fourth quarter includes the greatest amount of MemoryMasterTM
shipments and related revenue.
On-Line
Practice Examinations
Valley
anticipates that there will be a fourth revenue source beginning in 2010, which
is from on-line practice examinations that management expects to launch in the
third quarter of 2010. Valley’s on-line practice examinations will be a test
assessment program where students can visit a mock testing center on-line.
Practice examinations and subject-specific quizzes will be available for student
practice purposes. Valley believes that this will be a popular addition to its
offerings, and that most students who take its courses, and others who do not,
will avail themselves of the new test assessment center. As of the date hereof,
pricing for this program has not been finalized but it is expected that the
center will be fully functional during the third quarter of 2010.

Our
Industry
General
The domestic non-traditional education
sector is a significant and growing component of the postsecondary
degree-granting education industry, which was estimated to be a $386 billion
industry in 2007, according to the Digest of Education Statistics published in
2009 by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education
Statistics. According to the same study, in 2007, over 6.9 million, or 38%, of
all students enrolled in higher education programs were over the age of 24, and
enrollment in degree-granting institutions between 2008 and 2017 is expected to
increase 19% for students over age 25. These students would not be classified as
traditional (i.e., 18 to 24 years of age, living on campus, supported by
parents, and not working full-time). The nontraditional students typically are
looking to improve their skills and enhance their earnings potential within the
context of their careers. We believe that the demand for non-traditional
education will continue to increase, reflecting the knowledge-based economy in
the U.S.
42
Many working learners seek accredited
degree programs that provide flexibility to accommodate the fixed schedules and
time commitments associated with their professional and personal obligations.
The education formats offered by our institutions enable working learners to
attend classes and complete coursework on a more convenient schedule than
traditional universities offer. Although more colleges and universities are
beginning to address some of the needs of working learners, many universities
and institutions do not effectively address the needs of working learners for
the following reasons:
|
·
|
Traditional
universities and colleges were designed to fulfill the educational needs
of conventional, full-time students ages 18 to 24, and that industry
sector remains the primary focus of these universities and institutions.
This focus has resulted in a capital-intensive teaching/learning model
that may be characterized by: (i) a high percentage of full-time, tenured

full-time staff; (iii) dormitories, student unions, and other significant

The
majority of accredited colleges and universities continue to provide the
bulk of their educational programming on an agrarian calendar with time
off for traditional breaks. The traditional academic year runs from
September to mid-December and from mid-January to May. As a result, most
fulltime faculty members only teach during that limited period of time.
While this structure may serve the needs of the full-time, resident, 18 to
24-year old student, it limits the educational opportunities for working
learners who must delay their education for up to four months during these
traditional breaks.
|
|
·
|
Traditional
universities and colleges may also be limited in their ability to provide
the necessary customer service for working learners because they lack the
necessary administrative and enrollment
infrastructure.
|
|
·
|
Diminishing
financial support for public colleges and universities has required them
to focus more tightly on their existing student populations and missions,
which has reduced access to
education.

Valley
According
to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (“AANA”), in the United States
there were 118 accredited nurse anesthesia programs in 2010. This number grew
from 108 programs in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and from 95 programs in 2005.
Most SRNAs are registered with the AANA. As set forth in the table below, the
number of SRNAs registered with the AANA has increased substantially over the
past ten years. Valley has developed strategic relationships with accredited
nurse anesthesia programs and with the AANA. Many of the programs have requested
that Valley provide courses specifically for their programs, however, Valley
currently provides courses for only one school located in Tennessee.

As
indicated above, the number of registered SRNAs more than doubled from 1999 to
2009. This growth in SRNAs in the United States has expanded Valley’s potential
customer base to whom Valley markets its services. The following table sets

Training
Direct
Training
Direct is one of the largest schools operating in the state of Connecticut
within the Higher Educational Community that offers short term training
programs, which lead to numerous employment opportunities within the Health Care
Profession. Our Certified Nurse’s Aide training program as well as Medical
Billing and Coding Specialist course are both under four weeks in length and
have been very popular among our student population.
Training Direct is also one of the only
private schools offering distance learning education programs in the State of
Connecticut. Our distance education programs offer our students the ability to
take courses from home without having to attend a classroom setting due to such
things as family or transportation constraints. Training Direct enrollments in
our programs have increased 25% from 2008 to 2009.
Our
Strategy and Key Corporate Objectives
Our goal is to strengthen and
capitalize on our position as a provider of high quality, accessible education
for individuals throughout the United States. Our principal focus is to provide
high quality educational products and services to our students in order for them
to maximize the benefit of their educational experience.
Generally, we intend to use our
expertise to enhance the quality, delivery and student outcomes associated with
the respective curricula across our entire group of subsidiaries. We believe we
can leverage our organizational capabilities to offer innovative products,
optimize our cost structure and create new growth opportunities. Finally, we
intend to continue to invest in our people, systems and organization, as they
are the foundation for our future success. In our opinion, these efforts are the
basis for enabling us to meet and exceed our customer’s expectations and further
differentiate us from our competition.
Specifically, EII’s key business
development objectives over the next three to five years are to seek and
consummate potential acquisitions with companies engaged in the business of
providing vocational training and test preparation products and services. In
addition, management intends to launch and further develop on-line test
assessment programs and web-based course offerings.
Management has identified a number of
such potential acquisitions within the broad context of vocational training and
test preparation, and except for the proposed acquisition of the Culinary Group,
we have not signed any definitive agreement with respect to any additional
acquisitions. Management believes that in addition to the usual advantages of
“rolling up” similar companies, such as reduced administrative overhead,
vocational schools in particular lend themselves to significant enhancement
through synergy among the schools. For example, Training Direct’s licensure in
the State of Connecticut can be used to sanction related course offerings
currently in place in an acquisition target. Thus by acquisition, Training
Direct may be able to significantly expand its course offerings and subject
areas, without commensurate increases in overhead. Similarly, Valley, which
management believes has a valuable brand name among anesthetists, can acquire a
program that actually trains (rather than test-prepares) anesthetists, making
profitable use of its reputation that has been established over the course of a
decade.
44
Moreover, management believes that the
vocational training space is highly fragmented and offers many opportunities for
the acquisition and enhancement of small-niche schools, and we plan to
aggressively pursue an acquisition strategy over the course of the next three to
five years.
Generally, we believe that because of
the small, development-stage nature of many potential acquisition targets that
opportunities for synergy, such as those described above for Valley and Training
Direct, will provide significant opportunities for revenue-expansion and
increased profitability, without significant operational cost
increases.
Valley and Training Direct, as well as
many potential acquisition targets, have limited or nascent on-line utilities.
As with the new Valley test assessment center, we believe that both Valley and
Training Direct can expand revenue by offering distance learning and distance
practice products related to their existing in-classroom programs. Training
Direct believes that its existing distance learning program described above,
which involves mailing student work papers back and forth, can be substantially
enhanced by use of the Internet, both in terms of enlarging the number of
students who can take such courses and by significantly reducing
costs.
Valley intends to eventually develop an
online course, so that students who cannot travel to a specific classroom
seminar can still enroll for a Valley course. Such an online program would also
be a useful addition for refresher training for students who have actually
attended a seminar. Development of this program has just begun and it is not
expected to be available for at least two years.
Our
Research and Development
Valley
and Training Direct have been developing on-line educational programs, including
Valley’s on-line testing examination center. In addition, Valley’s and Training
Direct’s programs are continually updated to ensure that students are always
current with the most updated practices and procedures. Any major revisions to
Training Direct’s curriculum are always reviewed by the Connecticut Department
of Higher Education for final approval. All programs lead to certification from
the National Health Career Association or Connecticut State Licensure. To date,
the costs of such research and development activities have been immaterial and
are not borne by our customers.
Our
Customers and Marketing
Valley
Customers
Valley’s
customer base consists almost exclusively of SRNAs preparing to take the NCE. It
takes considerable commitment by individuals to become a Certified Registered
Nurse Anesthetist (“CRNA”). The education and experience requirements to become
a CRNA include the following:
|
·
|
a Bachelor’s of Science in
Nursing or other appropriate baccalaureate
degree;
|
|
·
|
a current license as a registered
nurse;
|
|
·
|
at least one year’s experience in
an acute care nursing
setting;
|
|
·
|
graduation from an accredited
graduate school of nurse
anesthesia;
|
|
·
|
clinical training in
university-based or large community hospitals;
and
|
|
·
|
passing a national certification
examination following
graduation.
|
Because
there are extensive steps and financial resources required for eligibility to
sit for the NCE, SRNAs are highly incented to pass the exam and are typically
willing to enroll in courses to obtain any advantage for passing the NCE.
According to the AANA, in 2005 the reported average annual salary for a CRNA was
$160,000. The high salaries paid to CRNAs provide further incentive to SRNAs to
pass the certification exam on the first or second attempt. Moreover, due to
what management believes is a high demand for CRNAs in the industry, students
that pass the certifying exam are employed almost immediately.
45
As a
result of the strong demand for CRNAs and the benefits associated with passing
the exam, annual enrollment in Valley’s courses has increased since
1998:

Marketing
Once a
year, Valley undertakes a mailing of approximately 5,000 brochures to students
and program directors for schools that teach SRNAs. Such brochures include
information regarding Valley’s review and update course, course schedules,
course pricing, and other related data. In addition, Valley relies on word of
mouth amongst SRNAs, program directors and schools with respect to its review
and update courses.
Training
Direct
Customers
Training
Direct enrolls a wide variety of students in its programs; from working
executives in our distance education courses, to the unemployed who have been
referred to us by a variety of state agencies for our residential programs.
Training Direct targets people looking to enhance their current careers or
seeking to enter the Health Care Industry.
Marketing
Training
Direct does a variety of community outreach as well as print media, which covers
over half of the State of Connecticut. Because of its reputation in the
community, Training Direct’s referral business has been consistently
strong. Training Direct expects advertising and promotional costs to remain
consistent with our growth and revenue.
Our
Competition and Competitive Advantages
Valley
Valley
recognizes few if any direct competitors. There are a limited number of
companies publishing manuals designed to help students prepare for the NCE,
including, without limitation, Concepts Anesthesia Review, and Board Stiff Live.
However, these competitors are not providing an exam review course. Management
believes that this enables Valley to take advantage of potential growth
opportunities within its market with limited price or other competition. In
2010, Dannemiller, a company engaged in the continuing medical education
business, announced that it will be offering a review course for the NCE.
46
Training
Direct
Training
Direct has very limited competition in Connecticut. Both the Nurse’s Aide
Training and Medical Billing and Coding courses are very much in demand because
Training Direct is located in an area which has a very high concentration of
hospitals and medical facilities.
Our
Regulatory Environment
Our operations are subject to
significant regulations. New or revised interpretations of regulatory
requirements could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, changes in
existing or new interpretations of applicable laws, rules, or regulations could
have a material adverse effect on our accreditation, authorization to operate in
various states, permissible activities, and operating costs. The failure to
maintain or renew any required regulatory approvals, accreditation, or state
authorizations could have a material adverse effect on us.
Training Direct’s operations are
regulated by the Department of Higher Education of the State of Connecticut (the
“DHE”) from which Training Direct received its initial approval and license in
2004. The DHE seeks to promote a postsecondary system of distinctive strengths
which, through overall coordination and focused investment, assures state
citizens access to high quality educational opportunities, responsiveness to
individual and State needs, and efficiency and effectiveness in the use of
resources. The Board of Governors for Higher Education is the statewide
coordinating and planning authority for Connecticut's public and independent
colleges and universities. The Board makes higher education policy, reviews
public college and university missions and budgets, recommends system-wide
budgets to the Governor and State General Assembly, licenses and accredits
academic programs and institutions (both public and independent), evaluates
institutional effectiveness and coordinates programs and services between the
public and independent sectors. Under the Board’s supervision, the DHE carries
out Board policy, administers statewide student financial aid programs, oversees
private occupational schools and conducts research and analysis on issues
important to legislators and the public.
The DHE maintains and ensures that the
approved occupational schools offer programs and courses that have proper
organization and structure that meet their stated objectives. Also, the DHE
maintains and ensures that approved occupational schools under their licensure
follow all state statutes and regulations.
Our
Intellectual Property
We own and use the trademark
MemoryMasterTM, which
is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the name of
Valley. In addition, all of Valley’s other course materials are the subject of
copyright registrations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in
the name of Valley. Copyright registrations expire over various periods of time.
We vigorously defend against infringements of our trademarks, service marks, and
copyrights.
Seasonality
Our cash
receipts fluctuate primarily as a result of the pattern of student enrollments.
Generally, the schools’ highest enrollment and cash receipts typically occur in
the fall, which corresponds to the third and fourth quarters our fiscal year.
Enrollment is slightly lower in the spring, and the lowest enrollment generally
occurs during the summer months. Our operating costs are relatively fixed and do
not fluctuate as significantly on a quarterly basis. Our variable expenses
fluctuate in accordance with course offerings and include course materials,
salaries and (for Valley) facility costs.
Employees
After the
reverse merger and the acquisition of Training Direct, we have 3 executive
officers. Valley has a total of 4 full-time employees. Training
Direct has a total of 6 full-time employees and 10 part-time
employees. Over the next 12 months, we do not expect to add significant
personnel. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements. We believe that our relations with our employees are
good.

In determining whether our directors are independent, however, we intend to
comply with the rules of the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange. The board of directors
also will consult with counsel to ensure that the board of directors’
determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and
other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors, including
those adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the
independence of future audit committee members. The NYSE Amex listing standards
define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of
a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would
interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.
Currently we do not satisfy the
“independent director” requirements of the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange, which
requires that a majority of a company’s directors be independent. Our board of
directors intends to appoint additional members, each of whom will satisfy such
independence requirements.
Family
Relationships
Anil Narang, our President, Chief
Operating Officer and Director, and Ashok Narang, the Vice President and
Director of Training Direct, are brothers. Except as set forth in the precedent
sentence, there are no family relationships among directors and executive
officers.
51
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings.
None of our officers or directors have,
during the last five years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a
pending a criminal proceeding; (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any
federal or state securities or banking laws including, without limitation, in
any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation
with respect to such law, nor (iii) has any bankruptcy petition been filed by or
against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general
partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy of for the two years prior
thereto.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers,
and shareholders holding more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock. Executive
officers, directors and greater-than-10% shareholders are required by SEC
regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us for the
year ended December 31, 2009, the Section 16(a) reports required to be filed by
our executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% shareholders were filed
on a timely basis.
Code
of Ethics
As of the date of this prospectus, we
have not adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all of our employees, officers
and directors, wherever they are located and whether they work for us on a full
or part-time basis. We intend to adopt a Code of Ethics in the near future so
that it complies with the NYSE Amex rules and regulations. The Code will provide
rules and procedures to help our employees, officers and directors recognize and
respond to situations that present ethical issues. Compliance with this code
will be mandatory and those who violate the standards in this Code will be
subject to disciplinary action.

Incentive Plan
We had no stock incentive plans as of
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
On December 23, 2009, our board of
directors have consented in writing to approve our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan for
key employees, directors, consultants and others providing services to us,
pursuant to which up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock shall be authorized for
issuance thereunder. On May 19, 2010, Kinder Investments, L.P. and Sanjo
Squared, LLC, each affiliates of our company, have entered into a written
shareholder consent authorizing each of the name change, the share capital
increase and the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. The following paragraphs describe
the principal terms of the 2009 Plan.
Purpose. The purpose of the
2009 Plan is to provide us 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 our behalf by providing incentives
through the granting of awards. By granting awards to such individuals, we
expect that the interests of the recipients will be better aligned with the
interests of our company.
Stock Subject to the 2009
Plan. Currently a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock may be issued
under the 2009 Plan, subject to adjustments. We may use shares held in treasury
in lieu of authorized but unissued shares. If any award expires or terminates,
the shares subject to such award shall again be available for purposes of the
2009 Plan. Any shares used by the participant as payment to satisfy a purchase
price related to an award, and any shares withheld by us to satisfy an
applicable tax-withholding obligation, shall again be available for purposes of
the 2009 Plan.
Administration of the 2009
Plan. The 2009 Plan is administered by the board of directors. The board
of directors has sole discretion over determining individuals eligible to
participate in the 2009 Plan and the time or times at which awards will be
granted and the number of shares, if applicable, which will be granted under an
award. Subject to certain limitations, the board of directors’ power and
authority includes, but is not limited to, the ability to interpret the 2009
Plan, to establish rules and regulations for carrying out the 2009 Plan and to
amend or rescind any rules previously established, to determine the terms and
provisions of the award agreements and to make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2009 Plan.
Eligible Persons. Any
employee or director, as well as consultant to our company, who is selected by
the board of directors is eligible to receive awards. The board of directors
will consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting participants and
in determining the type and amount of their respective awards, provided that
incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.
54
Grant of Awards. The types of
awards that may be granted under the 2009 Plan are stock options (either
incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation
rights, performance-based awards, as well as other stock-based awards and
cash-based awards. Awards are evidenced by an agreement and an award recipient
has no rights as a stockholder with respect to any securities covered by an
award until the date the recipient becomes a holder of record of the common
stock.
On the date of the grant, the exercise
price must equal at least 100% of the fair market value in the case of incentive
stock options, or 110% of the fair market value with respect to optionees who
own at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock. The
fair market value is determined by computing the arithmetic mean of the high and
low stock prices on a given determination date. The exercise price on the date
of grant is determined by the board of directors in the case of non-qualified
stock options.
Stock appreciation rights granted under
the 2009 Plan are subject to the same terms and restrictions as the option
grants and may be granted independent of, or in connection with, the grant of
options. The board of directors determines the exercise price of stock
appreciation rights. A stock appreciation right granted independent of an option
entitles the participant to payment in an amount equal to the excess of the fair
market value of a share of the common stock on the exercise date over the
exercise price per share, times the number of stock appreciation rights
exercised. A stock appreciation right granted in connection with an option
entitles the participant to surrender an unexercised option and to receive in
exchange an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of
the common stock over the exercise price per share for the option, times the
number of shares covered by the option which is surrendered. Fair market value
is determined in the same manner as it is determined for options.
The board of directors may also grant
awards of stock, restricted stock and other awards valued in whole or in part by
reference to the fair market value of the common stock. These stock-based
awards, in the discretion of the board of directors, may be, among other things,
subject to completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an
event or the attainment of performance objectives. Additionally, the board of
directors may grant awards of cash, in values to be determined by the board of
directors. If any awards are in excess of $1,000,000 such that Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code applies, the board may, in its discretion, alter its
compensation practices to ensure that compensation deductions are permitted.
Awards
granted under the 2009 Plan are generally not transferable by the participant
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each award is
exercisable, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant or
his or her guardian or legal representative, unless permitted by the
committee.

23, 2019.

Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers
as well as other employees and individuals against expenses including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, a
derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable
cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in
the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to
expenses including attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there
can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been
found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive
of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, agreement, and a vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Our certificate of incorporation
provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
from time to time, each person that such section grants us the power to
indemnify.
The Delaware General Corporation Law
permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a
director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders; acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; payments of
unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our certificate of incorporation
provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of our
directors will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors,
officers or controlling persons, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our
company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered hereunder, we will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

All of
our shares of common stock owned or to be owned by the Joseph Bianco, Anil
Narang, Sanjo Squared, LLC and Kinder Investments, LP (directly or indirectly)
are restricted from public or private sale for a period of twelve months
following the effective date of the Reverse Merger (December 31, 2009) without

Under the
merger agreement, the shareholders of EII were issued 250,000 shares of our

automatically convertible into 49.11333 shares of our common stock upon the
filing by us of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation which increases

shares, 100,000 were issued to Sanjo Squared, LLC and 150,000 were issued to

64
Acquisition
and Escrow Shares under the Interest Purchase Agreement
On December 16, 2009, EII entered into
an interest purchase agreement with the members of Training Direct, and our
company, pursuant to which EII acquired all outstanding membership interests, on
a fully diluted basis, of Training Direct in exchange for (a) $200,000 cash, (b)
shares of our 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 20 “Trading Days”
(as defined below) immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger,
and (c) shares of our 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 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 purchase agreement. “Discounted VWAP”
is defined in the purchase agreement as 70% of the “VWAP” of our common stock,
but in no event less than $0.40 per share. “VWAP” is defined in the purchase
agreement as a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of (i)
the closing trading price for our common stock on the applicable national
securities exchange on each Trading Day of the 20 Trading Days following the
consummation of the reverse merger, and (ii) the volume of our common stock on
the applicable national securities exchange for each such day and the
denominator of which is the total volume of our 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 purchase agreement as any day on which the New
York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange on which our common
stock trades is open for trading.
The Discounted VWAP for the twenty
Trading Days after the effective date of the reverse merger was $1.67.
Accordingly, on March 3, 2010 we issued an aggregate of 359,281 Acquisition
Shares and 179,641 Escrow Shares, of which an aggregate of 161,676 Acquisition
Shares and 80,838 Escrow Shares were issued to Joseph Bianco and Anil Narang.
Review,
Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our
small size and limited financial resources, we had not adopted prior to the
reverse merger formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or
ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive
officers, directors and significant shareholders. However, we intend
that such transactions will, on a going-forward basis, be subject to the review,
approval or ratification of our board of directors, or an appropriate committee
thereof.
Director
Independence
Presently,
we are not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any
securities exchange. In determining whether our directors are
independent, however, we intend to comply with the rules of the NYSE Amex Stock
Exchange. The board of directors also will consult with counsel to
ensure that the board of directors’ determinations are consistent with those
rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the
independence of directors, including those adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 with respect to the independence of future audit committee
members. The NYSE Amex listing standards define an “independent
director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does
not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the
director’s exercise of independent judgment.
Currently
we do not satisfy the “independent director” requirements of the NYSE Amex Stock
Exchange, which requires that a majority of a company’s directors be
independent. Our board of directors intends to appoint additional
members, each of whom will satisfy such independence requirements.
Conflicts
of Interest
To date, we do not believe that there
are any conflicts of interest involving our officers or directors.
With respect to transactions involving
real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted policies and procedures
which require that: (i) the fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to
the potential conflict be disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or
approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval, (ii) the
transaction be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors,
and (iii) the transaction be fair and reasonable to us at the time it is
authorized or approved by our directors.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
Authorized
Capital Stock
Our
authorized capital stock of consists of 12,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share and 2,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock,
par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, we
have 7,567,656 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 250,000 shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
As stated
elsewhere in this prospectus, as part of the reverse merger, we agreed to
increase our authorized common stock to 50,000,000 shares.
The
following summary description relating to our capital stock and other securities
does not purport to be complete.
Common
Stock
Holders
of common stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share on all matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of
directors. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive
ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out
of funds legally available therefore (see “Dividend Policy”). Such
holders do not have any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional
shares. All holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in any assets
for distribution to shareholders upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up. There are no conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to
the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully
paid and non-assessable.
Preferred
Stock
Our Board
of Directors is authorized, without further action by the shareholders, to
issue, from time to time, up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or
more classes or series. Similarly, the Board of Directors will be
authorized to fix or alter the designations, powers, preferences, and the number
of shares which constitute each such class or series of preferred
stock. Such designations, powers or preferences may include, without
limitation, dividend rights (and whether dividends are cumulative), conversion
rights, if any, voting rights (including the number of votes, if any, per
share), redemption rights (including sinking fund provisions, if any), and
liquidation preferences of any unissued shares or wholly unissued series of
preferred stock. As of the date hereof and under the merger agreement, the
shareholders of EII were issued 250,000 shares of our Series A Preferred
Stock.
Except
for the Series A Preferred Stock issued to the shareholders of EII under the
merger agreement, it is not possible to state the actual effect of any
authorization of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of common stock
until the Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of
any series of preferred stock. The Board of Director’s authority to
issue preferred stock also provides a convenient vehicle in connection with
possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, but could have the effect of
making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our
outstanding voting stock. Accordingly, the issuance of preferred
stock may be used as an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the
part of our stockholders, and may adversely affect the holders of the common
stock.
The
Series A Preferred Stock
Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock:
(a)
is automatically convertible into 49.11333 shares of our common stock upon the
filing by us of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation which increases
the authorized shares of our common stock to at least
50,000,000;
66
(b)
provides that holders shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors. No cash dividends or
distributions shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the common
stock unless such cash dividend or distribution is likewise declared, paid or
set apart for payment on the Series A Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the
dividend or distribution that would be payable if all of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock had been fully converted into
common stock on the day immediately prior to the date which shall be the
earliest to occur of the declaration, payment, or distribution or such
dividend;
(c)
has a par value of $0.0001 per share;
(d)
has a stated or liquidation value of $0.01 per share (the “Stated
Value”);
(e) has a preference
over our common stock on liquidation or sale of our company equal to the sum of
the Stated Value per share and an amount equal to all unpaid dividends on the
Series A Preferred Stock, if any; and
(f) votes together
with our common stock on an “as converted basis.”
The
conversion price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are subject to customary adjustments
as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred
Stock.
Warrants
We
have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 47,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price equal to $0.05 per share. The warrants are
exercisable on or after March 12, 2010 through and until June 30,
2016. The holders of such warrants have cashless exercise
rights. The shares underlying the foregoing warrants are being
registered in this prospectus. On June 1, 2010, holders of warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 878,000 shares of our common stock exercised such warrants on a
cashless basis pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 862,034 shares to
such holders. In addition, on September 28, 2010, we issued 5,000 shares of our
common stock to the holder of our January 2009 warrant upon exercise of such

share.

and/or qualified institutional buyers pursuant to which we sold and

On December 23, 2009, our board of
directors have consented in writing to approve our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan for
key employees, directors, consultants and others providing services to us,
pursuant to which up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock shall be authorized for
issuance thereunder. On May 19, 2010, Kinder Investments, L.P. and Sanjo
Squared, LLC, each affiliates of our company, have entered into a written
shareholder consent authorizing each of the name change, the share capital
increase and the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. The following paragraphs describe
the principal terms of the 2009 Plan.
Purpose. The purpose of the
2009 Plan is to provide us 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 our behalf by providing incentives
through the granting of awards. By granting awards to such individuals, we
expect that the interests of the recipients will be better aligned with the
interests of our company.
Stock Subject to the 2009
Plan. Currently a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock may be issued
under the 2009 Plan, subject to adjustments. We may use shares held in treasury
in lieu of authorized but unissued shares. If any award expires or terminates,
the shares subject to such award shall again be available for purposes of the
2009 Plan. Any shares used by the participant as payment to satisfy a purchase
price related to an award, and any shares withheld by us to satisfy an
applicable tax-withholding obligation, shall again be available for purposes of
the 2009 Plan.
Administration of the 2009
Plan. The 2009 Plan is administered by the board of directors. The board
of directors has sole discretion over determining individuals eligible to
participate in the 2009 Plan and the time or times at which awards will be
granted and the number of shares, if applicable, which will be granted under an
award. Subject to certain limitations, the board of directors’ power and
authority includes, but is not limited to, the ability to interpret the 2009
Plan, to establish rules and regulations for carrying out the 2009 Plan and to
amend or rescind any rules previously established, to determine the terms and
provisions of the award agreements and to make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2009 Plan.
Eligible Persons. Any
employee or director, as well as consultant to our company, who is selected by
the board of directors is eligible to receive awards. The board of directors
will consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting participants and
in determining the type and amount of their respective awards, provided that
incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.
68
Grant of Awards. The types of
awards that may be granted under the 2009 Plan are stock options (either
incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation
rights, performance-based awards, as well as other stock-based awards and
cash-based awards. Awards are evidenced by an agreement and an award recipient
has no rights as a stockholder with respect to any securities covered by an
award until the date the recipient becomes a holder of record of the common
stock.
On the date of the grant, the exercise
price must equal at least 100% of the fair market value in the case of incentive
stock options, or 110% of the fair market value with respect to optionees who
own at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock. The
fair market value is determined by computing the arithmetic mean of the high and
low stock prices on a given determination date. The exercise price on the date
of grant is determined by the board of directors in the case of non-qualified
stock options.
Stock appreciation rights granted under
the 2009 Plan are subject to the same terms and restrictions as the option
grants and may be granted independent of, or in connection with, the grant of
options. The board of directors determines the exercise price of stock
appreciation rights. A stock appreciation right granted independent of an option
entitles the participant to payment in an amount equal to the excess of the fair
market value of a share of the common stock on the exercise date over the
exercise price per share, times the number of stock appreciation rights
exercised. A stock appreciation right granted in connection with an option
entitles the participant to surrender an unexercised option and to receive in
exchange an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of
the common stock over the exercise price per share for the option, times the
number of shares covered by the option which is surrendered. Fair market value
is determined in the same manner as it is determined for options.
The board of directors may also grant
awards of stock, restricted stock and other awards valued in whole or in part by
reference to the fair market value of the common stock. These stock-based
awards, in the discretion of the board of directors, may be, among other things,
subject to completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an
event or the attainment of performance objectives. Additionally, the board of
directors may grant awards of cash, in values to be determined by the board of
directors. If any awards are in excess of $1,000,000 such that Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code applies, the board may, in its discretion, alter its
compensation practices to ensure that compensation deductions are permitted.
Awards granted under the 2009 Plan are
generally not transferable by the participant except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and each award is exercisable, during the lifetime of
the participant, only by the participant or his or her guardian or legal
representative, unless permitted by the committee.

our common stock exercised such warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to which
we issued an aggregate of 862,034 shares to such holders.
In March 2007, we sold, in a private
placement, 657 units, each unit consisting of 100 shares of common stock at
$1.00 per share, to 96 accredited investors. No brokerage commissions
or other compensation was paid to any third party with respect to the units sold
in the private placement.

stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share to a consultant for financial

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees,
transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or
interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus
from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other
transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or
all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on
any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or
in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at
prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the
prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at
negotiated prices.
The
selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when
disposing of shares or interests therein:
|
·
|
ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers;
|
|
·
|
block trades in which the
broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction;
|
|
·
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as
principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
|
·
|
an exchange distribution in
accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
·
|
privately negotiated
transactions;
|
|
·
|
short sales effected after the
date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is
declared effective by the
SEC;
|
|
·
|
through the writing or settlement
of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise;
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers may agree with the
selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a
stipulated price per share;
and
|
|
·
|
a combination of any such methods
of sale.
|
The
selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest
in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default
in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties
may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this
prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling
stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest
as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may
transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the
transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
76
In
connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling
stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
The
aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock
offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or
commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to
accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or
in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through
agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any
exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the
exercise price of the warrants.
The
selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open
market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,
provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that
rule.
The
selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that
participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any
discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the
shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11)
of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act.
To the
extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the
selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices,
the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or
discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an
accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement that includes this
prospectus.
In order
to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common
stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold
unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from
registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied
with.
We have
advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation
M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the
activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the
extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be
supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders
for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that
participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act.
We have
agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the
registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
77
We have
agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which
this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time
as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant
to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which
the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Florham
Consulting Corp. and Subsidiaries
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Florham Consulting Corp.
and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2009, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, change in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the period from inception (July 20, 2009) to December 31, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit
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 Florham
Consulting Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and the results
of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the initial period then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
As
discussed in Note 1, the accompanying 2009 consolidated financial statements
have been restated.

FLORHAM
CONSULTING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2009 (Restated)
1
- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Florham
Consulting Corp. (“Florham”) was formed on February 9, 2005, as a Delaware
Corporation and has its corporate offices located in New York, NY. On December
31, 2009, Florham completed a reverse merger with Educational Investors, Inc.
(“EII”). Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
the share exchange is considered to be an in substance capital transaction, as
opposed to a business combination. Accordingly, the share exchange is
equivalent to the issuance of stock by Florham for the net monetary assets of
EII, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in
capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange
is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, with no goodwill
being recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse
acquisition fiscal 2009 historical financial statements of the legal acquirer,
Florham, are those of the legal acquiree which is considered to be the
accounting acquirer, EII. Shares and per share amounts reported have
been adjusted to reflect the recapitalization resulting from the reverse merger.
Educational
Investors, Inc. was incorporated on July 20, 2009 in Delaware and has its
corporate offices located in New York, NY. The Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Valley Anesthesia, Inc. (“Valley”), was incorporated in Delaware and
has its corporate offices located in New York, NY. EII’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Training Direct, LLC (“Training Direct”) was formed as a limited
liability company in Connecticut on January 7, 2004 and has its corporate
offices located in Bridgeport, CT. The above entities are
collectively referred to as Florham Consulting Corp. and Subsidiaries
(collectively the “Company”).
Effective
August 20, 2009, Valley purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities
and operations of Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. The Company
through Valley provides comprehensive review and update courses and study
materials to Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists in preparation for the
National Certifying Exam throughout the continental United States.
Effective
December 31, 2009, EII acquired all of the membership interest in Training
Direct. The Company through Training Direct, a state licensed
vocational training school, provides “distance learning” and “residential
training” educational programs for students to become eligible for entry-level
employment in a variety of fields and industries.
The
financial statements have been restated to reclassify the previously reported
loss on discontinued operations of the accounting acquiree to shareholder’s
equity as a result of the reverse merger transaction.
F-7
The
impact of the restatement on the consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2009 and for the period from July 20, 2009 (Inception) through
December 31, 2009 is summarized in the following tables:

- 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 Florham Consulting Corp. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. 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 December 31, 2009, the Company had
$331,818 over such limits.
c.
Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of
calculation basic earnings per share, awards of nonvested stock that are subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions are excluded from the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding until all necessary conditions have been
satisfied. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding, including non vested stock.
d.
Revenue Recognition - The Company derives its revenue substantially from fees
and tuition charged for courses and manuals. The fees are recognized
as revenue at the time of the 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. Fees for 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 course fees are
received in advance of the time of the attendance at the course and when the
manual and study guides are shipped. Deferred revenue is also recorded for
undelivered course hours in excess of tuition billed. Tuition billed
to students is recognized as revenue, determined by the percentage of completion
method. The Company does not accept returns of manuals and study guides.
e. Cost
of Revenue – Cost of revenue includes costs of printing and shipping of course
materials, costs of facilities used for presentation of courses, preparation of
course materials, and other operating costs.
f.
Acquisition-Related Cost – Costs incurred in the formation of the Company and in
the acquisition of operating assets and business operations are expensed as
incurred.
g.
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for
uncollectible amounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its
accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on
a history of past write-offs and collections as well as current
conditions. As of December 31, 2009, the Company recorded an
allowance of $12,688.
F-9
h.
Inventory - The Company generally does not maintain an inventory of manuals and
study guides. These materials are ordered from the printing company
as customer orders are received. Manuals received and not yet shipped
are carried at cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis.
i. Fixed
Assets - Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation of furniture
and equipment is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the
lease. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred.
j.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) 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, recording fair value of share based compensation, future cash
flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, deferred tax
assets and the related valuation allowances and contingencies, including going
concern assessments.
k. Fair
Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
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 December 31, 2009.
l.
Goodwill - The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350
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 internally calculated
measures. The Company has completed the required testing of goodwill
for impairment and has determined that none of its goodwill is impaired.
m.
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 December 31, 2009, the Company does not believe
that any impairment has occurred.
F-10
n.
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 ASC is effective for financial statements issued
after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a significant impact
on the Company’s financial statements.
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.
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.
o. 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 uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC 740 and does not expect
this to change over the next twelve months. The Company may recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than
not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing
authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax
positions as part of the income tax provision.
In
addition to its Federal income tax return, the Company and its subsidiaries are
obligated to file tax returns in various states. All periods within
the applicable jurisdictions’ statute of limitations remain open to government
audit.
p. Stock
Based Compensation - The Company recognizes the cost of directors, consultants
and employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments,
such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of
grant over the requisite service period. The Company uses the
Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-option
awards. Stock-based compensation plans, related expenses and
assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are more fully
described in Note 10.
F-11
q.
Industry Segment Information - The Company has determined that it operates under
one segment, and is not required to report on its operations by segment.
r.
Research and Development – Valley and Training Direct have been developing
on-line educational programs, including Valley’s on-line testing examination
center. In addition, Valley’s and Training Direct’s programs are
continually updated to ensure that student’s are always current with the most
updated practices and procedures. Any revisions to Training Direct’s
curriculum are always reviewed by the Connecticut Department of Higher Education
for final approval. All Programs lead to certification from the
National Health Career Association or Connecticut State Licensure. To
date, the costs of such research and development activities have been immaterial
and are not borne by our customers.

The
Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred
stock with designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be

Series A Preferred Stock each of which is automatically convertible into
49.11333 shares of common stock upon the Company’s filing of an amendment to its
certificate of incorporation which increases the authorized shares of common
stock to at least 50,000,000. The Series A Preferred Stock is
entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, and to
vote together with the common stock on an “as converted basis.” The
stated or liquidation value is $0.01 per share and has a preference over the
common stock on liquidation or sale of the Company equal to the sum of the
stated value per share and an amount equal to all unpaid
dividends. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 250,000 shares of

Company, in which event the warrants will be exercisable at any time after
seventy (70) days following such Change in Control and until June 30, 2016.

stock. The exercise price for 1,166,668 options is $0.25

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,

of the options was determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model using
the following assumptions; forfeiture rate 0%, risk free interest rate 2.5%,
volatility 25%, expected life 5-7 years, and dividend rate 0%.

12 – LOSS PER SHARE
For the
period ended December 31, 2009, the conversion of preferred stock, exercise of
warrants, stock options, and escrow shares issued in purchase of subsidiary were
excluded in the computations of the Company’s diluted loss per share because the
Company reported net losses from continuing operations. Anti-dilutive common
share equivalents excluded were as follows:
Conversion
of preferred stock
|
12,278,333 | |||
Exercise
of warrants
|
930,000 | |||

548,350 | |||
Nonvested

|

The
following table represents the unaudited pro forma effect on earnings per share
for the dilution resulting from the conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock. These preferred shares were issued because the Company did not
have sufficient authorized and unissued common shares to issue to the former EII
stockholders on the date of the merger. Upon the change in the number
of the Company’s authorized common shares, 12,278,333 common shares will be
issued in exchange for the Series A Preferred Shares.

FLORHAM
CONSULTING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
June

(Unaudited)
1
- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Florham
Consulting Corp. (“Florham”) was formed on February 9, 2005, as a Delaware
Corporation and has its corporate offices located in New York, NY. On December
31, 2009, Florham completed a reverse merger with Educational Investors, Inc.
(“EII”). Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
the share exchange is considered to be an in substance capital transaction, as
opposed to a business combination. Accordingly, the share exchange is
equivalent to the issuance of stock by Florham for the net monetary assets of
EII, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in
capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange
is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, with no goodwill
being recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse
acquisition fiscal 2009 historical financial statements of the legal acquirer,
Florham, are those of the legal acquiree which is considered to be the
accounting acquirer, EII. Shares and per share amounts reported have
been adjusted to reflect the recapitalization resulting from the reverse merger.
Educational
Investors, Inc. was incorporated on July 20, 2009 in Delaware and has its
corporate offices located in New York, NY. The Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Valley Anesthesia, Inc. (“Valley”), was incorporated in Delaware and
has its corporate offices located in New York, NY. EII’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Training Direct, LLC (“Training Direct”) was formed as a limited
liability company in Connecticut on January 7, 2004 and has its corporate
offices located in Bridgeport, CT. The above entities are
collectively referred to as Florham Consulting Corp. and Subsidiaries
(collectively the “Company”).
Effective
August 20, 2009, Valley purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities
and operations of Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. The Company
through Valley provides comprehensive review and update courses and study
materials to Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists in preparation for the
National Certifying Exam throughout the continental United States.
Effective
December 31, 2009, EII acquired all of the membership interest in Training
Direct. The Company through Training Direct, a state licensed
vocational training school, provides “distance learning” and “residential
training” educational programs for students to become eligible for entry-level
employment in a variety of fields and industries.

- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United
States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been
condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in
conformity with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December
31, 2009. The results of operations for the interim period should not
be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
a.
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Florham Consulting Corp. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
the Company had $0 and $331,818 over such limits, respectively.
c.
Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of
calculating basic earnings per share, awards of nonvested stock that are subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions are excluded from the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding until all necessary conditions have been
satisfied. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding, including non vested stock.
d.
Revenue Recognition - The Company derives its revenue substantially from fees
and tuition charged for courses and manuals and study guides. The
fees are recognized as revenue at the time of the attendance at the course and
when the manuals and study guides are shipped to customers. Fees for
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 course
fees are received in advance of the time of the attendance at the course and
when the manuals and study guides are shipped. Deferred revenue is also recorded
for undelivered course hours in excess of tuition billed. Tuition
billed to students is recognized as revenue, determined by the percentage of
completion method. The Company does not accept returns of manuals and study
guides.
F-27
e.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) 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, recording fair value of share based compensation, future cash
flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, deferred tax
assets and the related valuation allowances and contingencies, including going
concern assessments.
f. Fair
Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
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 June 30, 2010.
g.
Goodwill - The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350
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 internally calculated
measures. The Company has completed the required testing of goodwill
for impairment and has determined that none of its goodwill is impaired.
h.
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 June 30, 2010, the Company does not believe
that any impairment has occurred.
i.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - 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.
j. 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. Deferred tax assets are based on the differences in the
amortizable lives of intangible assets and goodwill, capitalization of
acquisition costs and the timing of stock based compensation deductions for
income tax and financial reporting purposes. An allowance against
deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that such tax
benefits will not be realized. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009, the Company established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax
assets in the approximate amounts of $544,000 and $454,000,
respectively. Adjustment to the deferred tax assets and liabilities
balances are recognized in income as they occur. The Company has determined that
there are no uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC 740 and does not expect
this to change over the next twelve months. The Company may recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than
not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing
authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax
positions as part of the income tax provision.
F-28
In
addition to its Federal income tax return, the Company and its subsidiaries are
obligated to file tax returns in various states. All periods within
the applicable jurisdictions’ statute of limitations remain open to government
audit.
k. Stock
Based Compensation - The Company recognizes the cost of directors, consultants
and employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments,
such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of
grant over the requisite service period. The fair value of the
options of $86,065 and $172,130 was charged to operations as compensation during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, there
was $287,556 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock
option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period
ending December 31, 2011. There are 622,640 options under the plan
available for future grants.

– SHORT TERM NOTES
On June
30, 2010, the Company consummated a private offering with two lenders pursuant
to which the Company sold and issued (i) an aggregate of $150,000 of 13.5%
promissory notes due September 30, 2010; and (ii) warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 70,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per
share, subject to certain adjustments as described in the warrants, beginning on
June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2015. The fair value of the warrants
of $154,147 will be charged to operations as interest expense over the term of
the notes. The fair value of the options was determined by the
Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions; forfeiture
rate of 0%, risk free interest rate of 0.32%, volatility 85.60%, expected life 5
years, and dividend rate 0%.

– OTHER LIABILITIES
Included
in other liabilities is an obligation to the sellers of certain assets of Valley
Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. to receive 40% of the future net revenues,

are expected to receive is $79,990.
Also
included in other long-term liabilities is an obligation to the selling members
of Training Direct which provides for the issuance of 179,641 shares of the

achieving certain performance targets as set for in the Interest Purchase
Agreement. The present value of the Escrow Shares the selling members are
expected to receive is $119,505 as of the acquisition date.

– PROPOSED ACQUISITION
Effective
as of May 21, 2010, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase
agreement and a separate agreement and plan of merger (the “Culinary Purchase
Agreements”) with the equity owners of Culinary Tech Center LLC (“CTC”) and
Professional Culinary Institute LLC (“PCI”), both New York limited liability
companies, and Educational Training Institute, Inc., a New York corporation
(collectively, the “Culinary Group”). Joseph Monaco, one of the
principals of the Culinary Group was a former owner of Training
Direct. The Company is seeking to acquire the Culinary Group
for $5.5 million, consisting of $3 million cash and $2.5 million of our common
stock. The agreements also include two earn-out provisions consisting
of (i) an additional $2.0 million of our common stock and $500,000 in cash if
the Culinary Group achieves 2010 or 2011 pre-tax income hurdles of $1.65 million
and $1.9 million, respectively, and (ii) an additional $750,000 in cash if,
among other things, the Culinary Group achieves a 2010 pre-tax income hurdle of
$2.1 million.
F-32
Under the
terms of the merger agreement, Educational Training Institute (“ETI”) will be
merged into a newly formed wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of the Company
with ETI as the surviving corporation of the merger. The ETI
stockholders will receive $2.5 million of our common stock to be valued at the
volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our common stock as traded on the
FINRA OTC Bulletin Board or other national securities exchange for the 20
trading days immediately prior to the closing date. In addition, the
ETI stockholders are entitled to receive contingent merger consideration in the
form of $2,000,000 payable in the form of additional shares of the Company’s
common stock, based upon the Culinary Group reaching either $1.65 million or
$1.9 million of pre-tax income levels in 2010 or 2011,
respectively. The contingent merger consideration is valued based on
the VWAP of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days prior to
determination of the applicable pre-tax income of the Culinary Group in fiscal
2010 or 201l. The merger agreement also permits the ETI stockholders
to require the Company to repurchase for cash up to $500,000 of the contingent
merger consideration in the event the 2010 or 2011 target pre-tax income levels
are achieved.
Under the
terms of the membership interest purchase agreement with Messrs. Joseph Monaco
and Harold Kaplan (the sole members of CTC and PCI), immediately following
consummation of the merger referred to above, ETI (then our wholly-owned
subsidiary) will purchase from Messrs. Monaco and Kaplan 100% of the members
interests equity of each of CTC and PCI. The purchase price for such
equity interests is $3.0 million, payable at closing in cash in equal amounts to
Messrs. Monaco and Kaplan. The purchase agreement also provides that
in the event the Culinary Group achieves the above target pre-tax income in 2010
or fiscal 2011, the Company is obligated to pay an additional $500,000 to the
former members of CTC and PCI. In addition, in the event that the
Culinary Group is able to obtain in 2010 an additional five year agency
agreement with New York State that provides minimum annual revenues of $1.5
million and $450,000 of incremental pre-tax profits in 2010, as a result of
which the cumulative pre-tax income of the Culinary Group shall be greater than
$2.1 million in fiscal 2010, then an additional $750,000 shall be payable in
cash to the members of CTC and PCI by not later than December 31, 2011.
At
closing of the transactions contemplated by both the merger and purchase
agreements, Joseph Monaco and Harold Kaplan will enter into employment
agreements with Florham expiring December 31, 2013, pursuant to which they shall
serve as Executive Vice Presidents of the Company and the President and Chief
Operating Officer, respectively, of the Culinary Group. Such executives shall
each receive base salaries of $150,000 in 2010, increasing to $200,000 in 2011
and $250,000 in each of 2012 and 2013, and shall be entitled to discretionary
bonuses, as determined by the Florham board of directors.
Consummation
of the Culinary Group acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including,
our obtaining the requisite financing, approval by the New York State Department
of Education of the change of control of the Culinary Group, and completion of
the necessary audits of the historical financial statements of the Culinary
Group. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
consummate the Culinary Group acquisition or, if consummated, that it will prove
to be beneficial to the Company.

Report
of Independent Registered
Public
Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Valley
Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Valley Anesthesia Educational
Programs, Inc. (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
related statements of income, change in shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years then ended. The Company's management is responsible for
these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

|
Organization and Nature of
Business
|
Valley
Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on
March 9, 1993 in Iowa and has its corporate offices located in Des Moines,
Iowa. The Company provides comprehensive review and update courses
and study materials to Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists in preparation for
the National Certifying Exam throughout the continental United
States.

|
Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
This
summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist
in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The 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.
|
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 December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had $153,064 and $447,159,
respectively, over such
limits.
|
|
b.
|
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 the
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 the time of the attendance at the
course and when the manual and study guides are shipped. The Company does
not accept returns of manuals and study
guides.
|
|
c.
|
Cost
of Revenue - Cost of revenue
include costs of printing, costs of facilities used for presentation of
courses, preparation of course materials, and other
costs.
|
|
d.
|
Shipping
and Handling Costs - Costs incurred for
shipping and handling, included in selling and administrative expense in
the amounts of $20,004 and $5,675 for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 respectively, are expensed as
incurred.
|
|
e.
|
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.
|
|
f.
|
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.
|
|
g.
|
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, future cash flows associated with impairment testing
for long-lived assets and
contingencies.
|
Continued
F-39
|
h.
|
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s
financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts payable, accrued expense, and deferred revenue which approximate
fair value because of their short
maturities.
|
|
i.
|
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 December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company does
not believe that any impairment has
occurred.
|
|
j.
|
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.
|
In May
2009 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.
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.
|
k.
|
Income
Taxes - The Company has
elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code
and applicable state statues. Accordingly, no provision has been
made for federal or state
taxes.
|
The
Company has elected to defer the application of ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes. ASC 740 is effective for the Company’s fiscal
period beginning January 1, 2009. ASC 740 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial
statements.
Although
the Company is considered a pass-through entity for Federal and state income tax
purposes, ASC 740 is applicable. The Financial Accounting Standards
Board has deferred guidance on the application of the provisions of ASC 740
as they relate to pass-through entities. However, certain taxing
jurisdictions do not recognize the Company’s income tax status as a pass-through
entity. The Company’s accounting policy for evaluating uncertain tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax filings, should they
arise, is based on its assessment of tax positions that have uncertainty as to
the probability of being sustained upon examination by those
jurisdictions. Therefore, the Company may be subject to income tax
liability-related exposures.
|
l.
|
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.
|
Continued

|

Industry
Segment Information - The Company has
determined that they operate under one segment, and are not required to
report on their operations by
segment.

Commitment and
Contingencies
|
|
a.
|
Lease - The
Company rents office space from one of its shareholders on a month to
month basis. The Company pays $656 per month for
rent. Rent expense for each of the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 was
$7,875.
|
|
b.
|
Retirement
Plan - The
Company has a profit sharing plan for certain eligible employees who work
more than 1,000 hours per year. The Company’s contributions for
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $101,601 and $99,099,
respectively. Employer contributions begin vesting at 20% after
year two and are fully vested after six years. Plan expenses
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $1,196 and
$2,246, respectively.
|
|
c.
|
Commitment
for Conference Facilities - The Company’s
courses are presented in conference facilities located in hotels in
various cities throughout the continental United States. The
Company enters into contracts with the various hotels well in advance of
the upcoming courses. These contracts provide, among other
matters, that the Company guarantee a stated minimum number of attendees
and/or guest rooms, and may hold the Company to stated percentages of the
amounts in the event of course
cancellation.

Income
Taxes
|
The
Company's successor in connection with the sale of its assets and operations as
described in the Subsequent Event footnote, is to be taxed as a C Corporation,
and as such will incur its own income taxes. Had the Company not been
an S Corporation, and had it incurred its own income taxes, the provision for
such would be as follows;

No
valuation allowance has been considered against the deferred tax assets in as
much as the Company would expect to realize the full amount of the deferred tax
assets.
The
Company did not adopt Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, for
“Uncertainty in Income Taxes” effective January 1, 2007. Had the
Company adopted ASC 740 on January 1, 2007, there would have been no
unrecognized tax positions that would have been required to have been recognized
at January 1, 2007, December 31, 2007 and 2008.
In
addition to its federal income tax return, the Company was obligated to file in
the following state jurisdictions; Florida, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, and Iowa. All periods within the
applicable jurisdiction’s statute of limitations remain open to governmental
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 audit 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 audit 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 audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 20,
2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period
January 1, 2009 through August 20, 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 financial statements. The 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.
|
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.
|
|
b.
|
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 the 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 the time of
the attendance at the course and when the manual and study guides are
shipped. The Company does not accept returns of manuals and study guides.
|
|
c.
|
Cost of
Revenue - Cost of revenue includes costs of printing,
costs of facilities used for presentation of courses, preparation of
course materials, and other costs.
|
|
d.
|
Shipping
and Handling Costs - Costs incurred for shipping and
handling, included in selling and administrative expense in the
approximate amount of $5,449 for the period January 1, 2009 through
August 20, 2009, are expensed as incurred.
|
F-51
|
e.
|
Accounts
Receivable - The Company does not have a general
provision for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable generally
consist of the amount due on the receipt of payment from the company
processing credit card payments from customers.
|
|
f.
|
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.
|
|
g.
|
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. Depreciation expense was $6,578
during the period January 1, 2009 through August 20, 2009.
|
|
h.
|
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, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for
long-lived assets and contingencies.
|
|
i.
|
Fair Value
of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial
instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses which approximate fair
value because of their short maturities.
|
|
j.
|
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
August 20, 2009, the Company does not believe that any impairment has
occurred.
|
|
k.
|
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.
|
In May
2009, 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.
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.
|
l.
|
Income
Taxes - The Company has elected to be taxed as an S
Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state
statues. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or
state taxes.
|
F-52
ASC 740,
Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes is effective for the Company’s fiscal period beginning
January 1, 2009. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements.
Although
the Company is considered a pass-through entity for federal and state income tax
purposes, ASC 740 is applicable. The Financial Accounting Standards
Board has deferred guidance on the application of the provisions of ASC 740
as they relate to pass-through entities. However, certain taxing
jurisdictions do not recognize the Company’s income tax status as a pass-through
entity. The Company’s accounting policy for evaluating uncertain tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax filings, should they
arise, is based on its assessment of tax positions that have uncertainty as to
the probability of being sustained upon examination by those
jurisdictions. Therefore, the Company may be subject to income tax
liability-related exposures.
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 was obligated to file in
various states. All periods within the applicable jurisdictions’
statutes of limitation remain open to government audit.
|
m.
|
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.
|
|
n.
|
Industry
Segment Information - The Company has determined that
they operate under one segment and are not required to report on their
operations by segment.
|
|
4 -
|
Commitment
and Contingencies
|
|
a.
|
Lease - The
Company rents office space from one of its shareholders on a month to
month basis. The Company pays $656 per month for
rent. Rent expense for the period January 1, 2009 through
August 20, 2009 was $5,250.
|
|
b.
|
Retirement
Plan - The Company has a profit sharing plan for certain
eligible employees who work more than 1,000 hours per year. The
Company did not make contributions during the period January 1, 2009
through August 20, 2009. Employer contributions begin
vesting at 20% after year two and are fully vested after six years.
|
|
c.
|
Commitment
for Conference Facilities - The Company’s courses are presented in
conference facilities located in hotels in various cities throughout the
continental United States. The Company enters into contracts with the
various hotels well in advance of the upcoming courses. These contracts
provide, among other matters, that the Company guarantee a stated minimum
number of attendees and/or guest rooms, and may hold the Company to stated
percentages of the amounts in the event of course cancellation.
|
|
d.
|
Employment
Agreement - The Company has an employment agreement with one of its
executives that provides for compensation of approximately $90,000 for
calendar year 2009. This agreement was assigned to the Buyer
(see Note 2).
|
|
5 -
|
Income
Taxes
|
The
Company's successor in connection with the sale of its assets and operations, as
described in Note 2, is to be taxed as a C Corporation, and as such will
incur its own income taxes. Had the Company not been an S
Corporation, and had it incurred its own income taxes, the provision for such
would be as follows:

- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Training
Direct, LLC (“Company”) was formed as a limited liability company in Connecticut
on January 7, 2004 and has its corporate offices located in Bridgeport,
CT. The Company, a state licensed vocational training school,
provides “distance learning” and “residential training” educational programs for
students to become eligible for entry-level employment in a variety of fields
and industries. Effective December 31, 2009, the Company became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Educational Investors, Inc. (“EII”). EII
acquired 100% of the members’ interest for $919,505. EII contributed
$140,000 to recapitalize the Company. The recapitalization resulted
in the “pushdown” of $656,000 in intangible assets and goodwill of $139,139,
representing the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired.

of the financial statements.
a. 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 December 31, 2009, the Company had no
balances over such limits.
b.
Revenue Recognition - The Company derives its revenue substantially from tuition
charged for courses. Deferred revenue is recorded for the undelivered portion of
billed tuition. Tuition billed to students is recognized as revenue,
determined by the percentage of completion method.
c.
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for
uncollectible amounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its
accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on
a history of past write-offs and collections as well as current
conditions. As of December 31, 2009, the Company recorded an
allowance of $12,688.
d. Fixed
Assets - Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation of furniture
and equipment is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets ranging from five to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the
lease or the estimated useful life, if shorter. Expenditures for
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
F-62
e.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) 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 and future cash flows associated with impairment testing for
long-lived assets.
f. Fair
Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and deferred revenue which approximate fair value because of their short
maturities.
g.
Goodwill - The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350
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 internally calculated
measures. The Company has completed the required testing of goodwill
for impairment and has determined that as of December 31, 2009 none of its
goodwill is impaired.
h.
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 December 31, 2009, the Company does not believe
that any impairment has occurred.
i.
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 ASC is effective for financial statements issued
after June 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a significant impact
on the Company’s financial statements.
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.
F-63
j. 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.
ASC 740
“Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109”), requires management to determine whether a tax position of the
Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the
applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or
litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest
amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized
upon ultimate settlement which could result in the Company recording a tax
liability that would reduce the Company’s net assets.
Beginning
with the 2009 annual financial statements, the Company adopted ASC
740. Based on its continued analysis, management has determined that
the application of ASC 740 did not result in a material impact to the
accompanying financial statements. The Company is subject to
examination by U.S. federal and state authorities for returns filed for the
three most recent years. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not
have any unrecognized tax benefits and does not expect this to change
significantly over the next 12 months.
k.
Industry Segment Information - The Company has determined that it operates under
one segment, and is not required to report on its operations by segment.

Independent
Auditor's Report
To the
Board of Directors
Training
Direct LLC
Bridgeport,
CT
I have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Training Direct, LLC as of December
31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, 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 Training Direct, LLC as of December
31, 2008, 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 April 22, 2009 on my consideration of Training Direct, 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.

contingent earnout fair value calculations. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations, which have been prepared for the year
ended December 31, 2009, gives effect to the Merger and the Acquisition as if

Basis of Presentation
|
On
December 31, 2009, Florham, EII and the EII Securityholders deemed all closing
conditions to be satisfied and, accordingly, consummated the purchase and sale
of the subject interests as outlined in the Merger Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement, effectively completing the Reverse Merger and the TD LLC acquisition,
all as more fully described elsewhere throughout this filing. The consolidated
company will change its name to Oak Tree Educational Partners, Inc.
As a
result of the Reverse Merger, Florham owns 100% of the capital stock of EII, EII
owns 100% of the capital stock of Valley Anesthesia, Inc., which in turn owns
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities and operations of VAEP, and EII
owns 100% of the membership interests of TD LLC. The former stockholders of EII
own an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Florham common stock after giving effect
to the transactions, but before giving effect to dilution resulting from the
conversion by the former stockholders of EII of any of their shares of Series A
Preferred Stock or exercise of any options to purchase common stock issued to
our officers, directors and consultants. See Description of Securities, and
elsewhere throughout the document, for further details with respect to post
Reverse Merger ownership, potential dilution and other related
factors. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, the share exchange is considered to be an in substance capital
transaction, as opposed to a business combination. Accordingly, the
share exchange is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Florham for the net
monetary assets of EII, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for
as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the
share exchange is identical to that resulting from the reverse acquisition, with
no goodwill being recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the
post reverse acquisition fiscal 2009 historical financial statements of the
legal acquirer, Florham, are those of the legal acquiree which is considered to
be the accounting acquirer, EII. Shares and per share amounts
reported have been adjusted to reflect the recapitalization resulting from the
reverse merger.
The
consolidated company’s principal executive offices are located in 845 Third
Ave., New York, NY, and its principal operating offices continue to be located
in Clive, IA and Bridgeport, CT. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management and Principal Stockholders” for a detailed description of
the post Reverse Merger management team.

Purchase Price

Prior to
the Reverse Merger, Florham was an OTCBB traded public corporation principally
deriving its revenues from offering Internet professional services, including
the provision of integrated strategic creative and technology services enabling
its clients to maximize their respective Internet businesses. The Board of
Directors of Florham assessed its operations, and identified the business of the
EII Group as a candidate to expand the potential for future profits, cash flows
and correspondingly increase stockholder value, and therefore entered into the
agreements that effectively allowed for the Reverse Merger consummation.

Item
14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals
against expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions,
except that indemnification only extends to expenses including attorneys' fees
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where
the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The
statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, and
a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless,
to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, each person that such section
grants us the power to indemnify.
The
Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its
certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit.
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, none of our directors will be personally liable to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Company, pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered
hereunder, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
The
following is a list of securities we have sold or issued during the past three
years. There were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid in connection
with the sale of these securities, except as otherwise noted.
In March 2007, we sold 65,700 shares
of common stock to 96 accredited investors at a purchase price of $1.00 per
share for total proceeds of $65,700. Such
sales were made in reliance upon the exemption provided by Rule 506 of
Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
In January 2009, we issued a warrant to
purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share to
a consultant for financial advisory services.
On
December 16, 2009, we executed an agreement and plan of merger with EII
Acquisition Corp. (a newly formed acquisition subsidiary of Florham)
(“Mergerco”), EII and its security holders, Sanjo Squared, LLC, Kinder
Investments, LP, Joseph Bianco and Anil Narang (collectively, the “EII
Securityholders”) pursuant to which Mergerco was merged with and into EII, with
EII as the surviving corporation of the merger, as a result of which EII became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. Under the terms of the merger
agreement, the EII Securityholders received (i) an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares
of our common stock, (ii) options to acquire 2,558,968 additional shares of our
common stock, 50% of which have an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share and
50% of which have an initial exercise price of $0.228 per share, subject to
certain performance targets set forth in the merger agreement, and (iii) 250,000
shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, with each share of Series A Preferred
Stock automatically convertible into 49.11333 shares of common stock upon the
filing by us of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation which increases
the authorized shares of our 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 with the members of Training Direct, and our
company, pursuant to which EII acquired all outstanding membership interests, on
a fully diluted basis, of Training Direct in exchange for (a) $200,000 cash, (b)
shares of our 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 20 “Trading Days”
(as defined below) immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger,
and (c) shares of our 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 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 purchase agreement. “Discounted VWAP”
is defined in the purchase agreement as 70% of the “VWAP” of our common stock,
but in no event less than $0.40 per share. “VWAP” is defined in the purchase
agreement as a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the product of (i)
the closing trading price for our common stock on the applicable national
securities exchange on each Trading Day of the 20 Trading Days following the
consummation of the reverse merger, and (ii) the volume of our common stock on
the applicable national securities exchange for each such day and the
denominator of which is the total volume of our 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 purchase agreement as any day on which the New
York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange on which our common
stock trades is open for trading. The Discounted VWAP for the twenty Trading
Days after the effective date of the reverse merger is
$1.67. Accordingly, on March 3, 2010 we issued an aggregate of
359,281 Acquisition Shares and 179,641 Escrow Shares.
On August 20, 2009, Joseph Bianco
purchased options to purchase 1,166,667 (the “Bianco EII Stock Options”) shares
of EII common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.25 per share with respect
to 583,334 options and $0.45 per share with respect to 583,333 options in
exchange for a $10,000 principal amount promissory note from Mr. Bianco, as
compensation for services performed on behalf of EII in his capacity as Chief
Executive Officer.
Under the
merger agreement, the Bianco EII Stock Options were converted into 5-year
options to purchase an aggregate of 1,279,484 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price equal to $0.228 per share with respect to 639,742 options (the
“Bianco Tier I Options”) and $0.41 per share with respect to 639,742 options
(the “Bianco Tier II Options”). The Bianco Tier I Options shall be exercisable
only if the EBTDA Per Share for the applicable measuring period exceeds the Base
Tier I EBTDA Per Share and the Bianco Tier II Options shall be exercisable only
if the EBTDA Per Share for the applicable measuring period exceeds the Base Tier
II EBTDA. The Bianco Tier I and Tier II Options shall be deemed vested as of the
date of grant.

the measuring year ending December 31, 2013, and (5) $0.191 for the measuring
year ending December 31, 2014. EBTDA Per Share means (1) the net income after
taxes (exclusive of any non-recurring or extraordinary items paid or accrued) of
our company and our consolidated subsidiaries (if any) in the applicable
measuring year, plus
(A) federal and state income taxes paid or accrued in such measuring
year, (B) amounts paid or accrued in such measuring year in respect of
depreciation of tangible assets, and (C) amounts paid or accrued in such
measuring year in respect of amortization of intangible assets, including
goodwill, all as set forth on our audited consolidated statements of income or
operations and our consolidated subsidiaries (if any) in the applicable
measuring year and as determined in accordance with GAAP by our independent
accountants, divided by
(2) the weighted average of the outstanding common stock, measured on a fully
diluted basis.
On August 20, 2009, Anil Narang
purchased options to purchase 1,166,667 (the “Narang EII Stock Options”) shares
of EII common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.25 per share with respect
to 583,334 options and $0.45 per share with respect to 583,333 options in
exchange for a $10,000 principal amount promissory note from Mr. Narang, as
compensation for services performed on behalf of EII in his capacity as
President and Chief Operating Officer.
Under the merger agreement, the Narang
EII Stock Options were converted into 5-year options to purchase an aggregate of
1,279,484 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.228 per
share with respect to 639,742 options (the “Narang Tier I Options”) and $0.41
per share with respect to 639,742 options (the “Narang Tier II Options”). The
Narang Tier I Options shall be exercisable only if the EBTDA Per Share for the
applicable measuring period exceeds the Base Tier I EBTDA Per Share and the
Narang Tier II Options shall be exercisable only if the EBTDA Per Share for the
applicable measuring period exceeds the Base Tier II EBTDA. The Narang Tier I
and Tier II Options shall be deemed vested as of the date of grant. Base Tier I
EBTDA Per Share and EBTDA Per Share have the same meanings set forth above.
On
December 31, 2009, the board of directors of EII granted Kellis Veach 5-year
options to purchase 150,000 (the “Veach EII Stock Options”) shares of EII common

Effective as of May 21, 2010, we
entered into a membership interest purchase agreement and a separate agreement
and plan of merger (the “Culinary Purchase Agreements”) with the equity owners
of Culinary Tech Center LLC and Professional Culinary Institute LLC, both New
York limited liability companies, and Educational Training Institute, Inc., a
New York corporation (collectively, the “Culinary Group”). Joseph
Monaco, one of the principals of the Culinary Group was a former owner of
Training Direct. We are seeking to acquire the Culinary Group
for $5.5 million, consisting of $3 million cash and $2.5 million of our common
stock. The agreements also includes two earn-out provisions
consisting of (i) an additional $2.0 million of our common stock and $500,000 in
cash if the Culinary Group achieves 2010 or 2011 pre-tax income hurdles of $1.65
million and $1.9 million, respectively, and (ii) an additional $750,000 in cash
if, among other things, the Culinary Group achieves a 2010 pre-tax income hurdle
of $2.1 million.
Under the terms of the merger
agreement, Educational Training Institute (“ETI”) will be merged into our newly
formed wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary with ETI as the surviving corporation
of the merger. The ETI stockholders will receive $2.5 million of our
common stock to be valued at the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our
common stock as traded on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board or other national
securities exchange for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the closing
date. In addition, the ETI stockholders are entitled to receive
contingent merger consideration in the form of $2,000,000 payable in the form of
additional shares of our common stock, based upon the Culinary Group reaching
$1.65 million and $1.9 million of cumulative pre-tax income levels in each of
2010 and 2011. The contingent merger consideration is valued based on
the VWAP of our common stock for the 20 trading days prior to determination of
the applicable pre-tax income of the Culinary Group in fiscal 2010 and
201l. The merger agreement also permits the ETI stockholders to
require us to repurchase for cash up to $500,000 of the contingent merger
consideration in the event the 2010 or 2011 target pre-tax income levels are
achieved.
Under the terms of the membership
interest purchase agreement with Messrs. Joseph Monaco and Harold Kaplan (the
sole members of CTC and PCI), immediately following consummation of the merger
referred to above, ETI (then our wholly-owned subsidiary) will purchase from
Messrs. Monaco and Kaplan 100% of the members interests equity of each of CTC
and PCI. The purchase price for such equity interests is $3.0
million, payable at closing in cash in equal amounts to Messrs. Monaco and
Kaplan. The purchase agreement also provides that in the event the
Culinary Group achieves the above target pre-tax income in 2010 or fiscal 2011,
we are obligated to pay an additional $500,000 to the former members of CTC and
PCI. In addition, in the event that the Culinary Group is able to
obtain in 2010 an additional five year agency agreement with New York State that
provides minimum annual revenues of $1.5 million and $450,000 of incremental
pre-tax profits in 2010, as a result of which the cumulative pre-tax income of
the Culinary Group shall be greater than $2.1 million in fiscal 2010, then an
additional $750,000 shall be payable in cash to the members of CTC and PCI by
not later than December 31, 2011.
82
Consummation of the Culinary Group
acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including, our obtaining the
requisite financing, approval by the New York State Department of Education of
the change of control of the Culinary Group, and completion of the necessary
audits of the historical financial statements of the Culinary
Group. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate
the Culinary Group acquisition or, if consummated, that it will prove to be
beneficial to our company.
On June 1, 2010, holders of our June
2006 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 878,000 shares of our common stock
exercised such warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to which we issued an
aggregate of 862,034 shares to such holders.
On June 30, 2010, we consummated a
private offering with two accredited investors and/or qualified institutional
buyers pursuant to which we sold and issued to the investors (i) an
aggregate of $150,000 of our 13.5% promissory notes due September 30, 2010 (the
“Maturity Date”); and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 70,500 shares of
our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to certain
adjustments as set forth therein, beginning on June 30, 2010 through June 30,
2015. The notes pay interest at a rate of 13.5% per annum; provided that, in the
event that the principal amount of the notes is not repaid in full on or prior
to the Maturity Date, interest at the rate equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum legally permitted interest rate, and (ii) 18% per annum, shall accrue on
the balance of any unpaid principal and accrued interest from the Maturity Date
until such balance is paid.
On
September 28, 2010, we issued 5,000 shares of our common stock to the holder of
our January 2009 warrant upon exercise of such warrant in full by the holder at
an exercise price of $0.05 per share.
Except
as otherwise indicated above, all of the offerings
and sales were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the
securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons,
all of whom were accredited investors, business associates of the Company or
executive officers of the Company, and transfer was restricted by the Company in
accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to
representations by the above-referenced persons, we have made independent
determinations that all of the above-referenced persons were accredited or
sophisticated investors, and that they were capable of analyzing the merits and
risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of
their investment. Furthermore, all of the above-referenced persons were provided
with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission
filings.

The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(b)
To reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective
registration statement; and
(c) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(a) If
the Company is relying on Rule 430B:
(i) Each
prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be
part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was
deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as
part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an
offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of
providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall
be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the
earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or
the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described
in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the
issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be
deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the
securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective
date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
86
(b) If
the Company is subject to Rule 430C: Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than
registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in
reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness;
provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser
with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such date of first use.
(5) Insofar
as Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
87
