GLASS & ASSOCIATES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    Description of Business
 
Glass & Associates, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware S Corporation formed in 1995, is a turnaround and restructuring consulting firm that provides advice and leadership to troubled businesses in the United States and Europe.
 
 
2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements reflect the results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Use of 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 amounts that are reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services are provided, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. These services are primarily rendered under arrangements that require the client to pay on a time-and-expense basis. Fees are based on the hours incurred at agreed-upon rates and recognized as services are provided. Revenues related to fixed-fee engagements are recognized based on estimates of work completed versus the total services to be provided under the engagement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. The Company also earns revenues on a performance-based fee basis and recognizes such revenues when all performance criteria are met. Direct costs incurred on engagements are expensed in the period incurred.

Expense reimbursements that are billable to clients are included in total revenues and reimbursable expenses. Reimbursable expenses are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred.
 
Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as unbilled services. Revenues recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients have been recorded as unbilled services in the accompanying balance sheet.

Direct Costs and Reimbursable Expenses
Direct costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and reimbursable expenses consists primarily of billable employee compensation and their related benefit costs, the cost of outside consultants and subcontractors assigned to revenue generating activities and direct expenses and administrative costs to be reimbursed by clients.

GLASS & ASSOCIATES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts and Unbilled Services
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and for services performed but not yet billed for estimated losses. Receivables from clients and unbilled services are valued at management’s estimate of the amount that will ultimately be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services is based on specific identification of uncollectible accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2006 totaled $0.5 million. The Company deemed that an allowance for unbilled services was not necessary at December 31, 2006.
 
Customer Concentration
To the extent receivables from clients become delinquent, collection activities commence. At December 31, 2006, no single client balance is considered large enough to pose a significant credit risk. During 2006, the Company had one client that generated $3.0 million, or 12.4%, of the Company’s revenues.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization totaling $0.5 million at December 31, 2006. Fixed assets consist of computers, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Computers and furniture and fixtures are depreciated on a straight-line basis over two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the assets or the initial term of the lease.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is required to be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever indications of impairment exist. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge for this excess. Management performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of December 31, 2006 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed as of that date.

Income Taxes
The Company is organized as an S Corporation and as such, its taxable income is included with that of its members for purposes of determining federal, state and local income taxes. Therefore, no income tax expense has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. The carrying values for receivables from clients, unbilled services, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities reasonably approximate fair market value due to the nature of the financial instrument and the short-term maturity of these items.

The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. At December 31, 2006, the Company had borrowings against the line of credit in the amount of $1 million, which bore a current interest rate of 8.25%.
 
 
5.    Lease Commitments and Guarantees
 
The Company leases office space and equipment from various parties under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. All leases are classified as operating and generally require the Company to pay fixed monthly payments. Total rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 approximated $0.5 million.

6.    Related Parties
 
During 2006 the Company entered into various related party transactions with TECT Corporation, an aerospace company owned by a member of the Company’s Board of Directors who is also a stockholder in the Company.  The Company provided consulting services to TECT at favorable pricing and terms. Revenues from TECT during the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled approximately $0.6 million. Of this amount, $7,000 was included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2006.

 
7.    Divestiture-related Charges
 
In connection with the selling of the Company to Huron Consulting Group Inc. (see note 9), the Company recorded related employee bonus of approximately $2.8 million and legal fees of approximately $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2006.

 
8.    Contingencies
 
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal and other matters arising out of the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined, in the opinion of management, disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 
9.    Subsequent Event
 
On January 9, 2007, Huron Consulting Group Inc. (“Huron”) acquired the Company for $30.0 million in cash paid at closing, subject to a working capital adjustment. Additional purchase consideration may be payable by Huron if specific performance targets are met over the next four years. Also, additional payments may be made based on the amount of revenues Huron receives from referrals made by certain continuing employees of Glass over the next four years. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the sale to repay in full the amounts outstanding under its notes payable and line of credit (see notes 3 and 4 above). In connection with the acquisition, the Company will be liable for severance payments to certain employees totaling approximately $0.5 million.

HURON CONSULTING GROUP INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the estimated effect of the acquisition of Glass & Associates, Inc. (“Glass”) by Huron Consulting Group Inc. (the “Company”).

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 combines the respective balance sheets of the Company and Glass as if the acquisition was consummated as of the balance sheet date. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 combine the respective statements of income of the Company and Glass as if the acquisition was consummated at the beginning of the period presented.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet and consolidated statement of income are based on the purchase method of accounting and the pro forma adjustments as described in the accompanying notes. Such pro forma adjustments give effect to transactions that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are factually supportable.

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, additional purchase consideration is payable in cash to the sellers of Glass if specific performance targets are met over the next four years. The amount of additional purchase consideration that may become payable is not determinable at this time and therefore, the pro forma statements do not reflect the potential impact of such contingent payments.

The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is subject to refinement pending the completion of a valuation of the intangible assets acquired.

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with Glass’ audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been effective for the periods presented and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Such borrowings bear a current interest rate of 5.9%.  Also, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the purchase price will include a working capital adjustment.
 
 
(2)  
 The purchase price was allocated, based on a preliminary valuation, as follows (in thousands):

Net assets purchased
 
$
3,404
 
Liabilities assumed
   
(2,513
)
Customer contracts
   
1,300
 
Customer relationships

Non-competition agreements
   
2,200
 
Goodwill

Total purchase price
 
$
34,491
 

 
(3)  
This adjustment is to eliminate Glass’ debt, which the Company did not assume, and to eliminate Glass’ historical goodwill and equity as part of purchase accounting.

 
(4)  
This adjustment is to record contractual obligations pursuant to employment agreements entered into between the Company and certain Glass employees in connection with the   acquisition and to reverse their respective salaries recorded on Glass’ financial statements.

 
(5)  
This adjustment is to reverse bonuses paid by Glass to its employees relating to the acquisition.

 
(6)

(7)  
This adjustment is to reverse legal fees incurred by Glass relating to the acquisition.

$

The $20.0 million of borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread, which is based on the Company’s debt to earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization ratio, as specified in the credit agreement. A variance of 0.125% in the interest rate would have a $25,000 pro forma effect on pre-tax income.
