INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Stockamp & Associates, Inc.
Portland, Oregon

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Stockamp & Associates, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit 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 Stockamp & Associates, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has corrected errors in its previously issued financial statements related to revenue recognition for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005


NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations - Stockamp & Associates, Inc., (the Company) is a leading national provider of health care performance improvement solutions.  Stockamp helps providers implement changes that improve a hospital or health system’s financial and operational performance, patient access to services and delivery of care.  The Company’s clients are among the largest healthcare organizations in the United States.

Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company provides professional services to clients throughout the United States.  The Company grants credit to clients, which consist of public and private hospitals.  Two clients accounted for approximately 49% and 25% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  During 2007 and 2006, two clients comprised 25% and 28% of total service revenue, respectively.  During 2005, three clients comprised 40% of total service revenue.  The Company maintains cash balances with a financial institution located in Oregon.  Cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consist of charges for services, software support contracts, and reimbursable expenses due from clients.  Clients are generally invoiced in the month for which services are to be provided or when payable per contractual terms.  Receivables are considered delinquent if payment is not received by the date due, which is 30 days after the invoice date.  Interest is not charged on delinquent balances.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not provide an allowance for doubtful accounts as all accounts were deemed collectible.  Accounts receivable delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 2007 amounted to $53,244.  No accounts receivable were delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 2006.

Revenue Recognition - The Company earns revenue primarily from consulting services, software licensing and software support and maintenance services.  The Company considers amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Revenue from consulting services is recognized in the period the services are provided using an objective measure of output over the term of the contract.

In some of the Company’s contracts, the Company bills and collects fees from clients prior to recognizing revenue from performing the services.  Such amounts are included in the balance sheet as collections in excess of amounts earned.  In other service contracts, the Company performs the services prior to billing clients.  These amounts are included in accounts receivable as unbilled accounts receivable.

Consulting fees include amounts which are fixed and determinable along with contingent fees based on contractual terms.  Contingent fees are frequently based upon measurable improvements in its clients’ cash flows or revenues and are generally determined over a 12 month measurement period.  The Company accounts for contingent fees under Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-96, “Accounting for Management fees Based on a Formula.”  Accordingly the Company recognizes contingent revenue at the end of the measurement period.  Amounts billed and collected prior to the end of the measurement period are presented on the balance sheet as collections in excess of amounts earned.  Such amounts are generally recognized as revenue in the subsequent year.

Expense reimbursements that are billable to clients are generally recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred.

DECEMBER 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005
 

The Company has developed proprietary software that it utilizes in its performance of services to its clients.  It licenses this software to its clients and provides related training and support during the term of the consulting engagement.  Licenses to the Company’s software are sold only as a component of its consulting projects and as such, there is no vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value.  Therefore, revenue from software licenses is recognized ratably over the term of the related consulting services contract.  Thereafter, clients pay an annual fee for support and maintenance.  Annual support and maintenance fee revenue is recognized ratably over the support period which is generally one year.  Fees for support and maintenance are billed in advance and included in deferred revenue until recognized.

See Note 11 for a discussion of the restatement relating to revenue recognition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty years. Minor repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the lives of assets are expensed as incurred.  Upon disposal of property and equipment, the cost of assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.  Gains or losses related to disposal of property and equipment are reflected in current earnings.

Software Development Costs – The Company accounts for the costs of software to be marketed in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.  Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product is established.  Development costs incurred subsequent to technological feasibility are capitalized and will be amortized over the estimated economic life of the product.  Amortization begins when the software is available for general release to customers.

The Company did not capitalize any software development costs in 2007, 2006 or 2005.

Deferred Compensation Liability - The Company accounts for its deferred compensation liability under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 12, “Omnibus Opinion - 1967.” Accordingly the Company recognizes service cost as well as interest expense on the accumulated obligation during the service period.  In periods subsequent to the service period, interest expense is recognized until benefits have been paid in full.

Promotional and Public Relations - Promotional and public relations costs are expensed as incurred.  In 2007, 2006 and 2005 promotional and public relations costs amounted to $345,516, $135,727, and $182,788 respectively.

Income Taxes - The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under those provisions, the Company generally does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income.  Instead, the stockholders are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on the Company’s taxable income.  In certain state and county jurisdictions, the Company pays income tax, franchise tax and business taxes based on income.  Local taxes paid by the Company are expensed as paid.

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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statement presentation to correspond to the current year’s format.  Total equity and net income are unchanged due to these reclassifications.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP.  Thus, for some entities, the application of this statement may change prior practice.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective beginning on January 1, 2008 for financial assets and financial liabilities, which did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed by one year the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 for its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities effective January 1, 2009, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective of this statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective beginning on January 1, 2008.  The adoption of this statement did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under the credit agreement, the Company has available standby letters of credit up to $1,250,000 with a maximum maturity of three hundred sixty-five (365) days.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no balance outstanding under the line of credit and no outstanding letters of credit.  The Bank agreement contains provisions, among others, requiring the maintenance of certain financial ratios and a certain level of tangible net worth.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 8, 2008, the Company sold substantially all of its assets, including its business operations and certain liabilities to Huron Consulting Group Inc. (“Huron”) in exchange for approximately $218.5 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, of which $168.5 million was paid in cash and $50.0 million was paid through the issuance of 1,100,740 shares of the common stock of Huron.  Of the common stock received, 330,222 shares with an aggregate value of $15.0 million were deposited into escrow for a period of one year, beginning on July 8, 2008, to secure certain indemnification obligations of the Company and its stockholders.   Additional purchase consideration may be payable by Huron if specific performance targets are met over a period beginning on July 8, 2008 and ending on December 31, 2011.  In addition, Huron will make the Company whole if the fair value of the common stock received from Huron declines at certain measurement dates.

Upon completion of the sale, both the payment obligations related thereto and the vesting of deferred compensation benefits were accelerated.  The Company paid the resulting obligation of $102.0 million on July 14, 2008.  These financial statements do not reflect any adjustment as a result of the sale.

STOCKAMP & ASSOCIATES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007


NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Stockamp & Associates, Inc., (the Company) is a leading national provider of health care performance improvement solutions.  Stockamp helps providers implement changes that improve a hospital or health system’s financial and operational performance, patient access to services and delivery of care.  The Company’s clients are among the largest healthcare organizations in the United States.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 included as Exhibit 99.1 in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.  The Company’s results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company provides professional services to clients throughout the United States.  The Company grants credit to clients, which consist of public and private hospitals.  One client accounted for approximately 34% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2008. Two clients accounted for approximately 49% of account receivables at December 31, 2007.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, one client comprised 29% and 17% of total service revenue, respectively.  The Company maintains cash balances with a financial institution located in Oregon.  Cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

NOTE 4 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP.  Thus, for some entities, the application of this statement may change prior practice.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective beginning on January 1, 2008 for financial assets and financial liabilities, which did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed by one year the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 for its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities effective January 1, 2009, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

STOCKAMP & ASSOCIATES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
JUNE 30, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007

 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective of this statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008.  The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan.  Employees, 21 years of age or older, are eligible for 401(k) benefits after one year of service and eligible for profit sharing contributions after two years of service.  Company profit sharing contributions and matching contributions to the 401(k) plan are discretionary and are established annually by the Board of Directors.  Profit sharing contributions amounted to $1,272,466 and $1,042,047 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.    401(k) matching contributions amounted to $548,851 and $470,898 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 9 – LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has available a $4,000,000 line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. (the Bank) that matures on December 1, 2008.  Interest is payable monthly at either the Bank’s prime rate minus 0.25%, the Bank’s Interbank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) plus 1.75% or at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%.  The IBOR rate option may be selected by the Company for a period from 30 to 180 days with a minimum principal amount of $500,000.  The LIBOR rate option may be selected by the Company for a period of one, two, three, four, five or six months with a minimum principal amount of $500,000.  Any balance not selected under the IBOR or LIBOR rate option bears interest using the prime rate option.  At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Bank’s prime rate was 5% and 7.25%, respectively.  Under the credit agreement, the Company has available standby letters of credit up to $1,250,000 with a maximum maturity of three hundred sixty-five (365) days.  At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no balance outstanding under the line of credit and no outstanding letters of credit.  The Bank agreement contains provisions, among others, requiring the maintenance of certain financial ratios and a certain level of tangible net worth.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

JUNE 30, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007

 
Stockholders’ Agreement

Under the terms of a stockholders’ agreement effective January 1, 2004, the Company agrees to repurchase stock from stockholders upon death, disability or termination at the greater of an agreed value or the book value of the Company.  The agreed value is determined annually by the stockholders.  The agreement restricts the transfer of stock and only permits sales of stock by stockholders to the Company.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for stockholders.  The obligation is unfunded and will be paid from the future income of the Company.  Benefits vest over a 10-year period; however, participants must meet certain notice requirements and enter into noncompete, separation and release agreements with the Company in order to receive benefits.  Benefits become immediately vested in the event of certain corporate transactions. Benefits are payable over 5 years, without interest, beginning after termination of employment.  Amounts payable to participants are based on a formula relating to each individual’s prior compensation.  The amount of benefits payable and related payment dates are not determinable until the date of termination.  See Note 12 regarding the impact of subsequent events on the deferred compensation liability.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 8, 2008, the Company sold substantially all of its assets, including its business operations and certain liabilities to Huron Consulting Group Inc. (“Huron”) in exchange for approximately $218.5 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, of which $168.5 million was paid in cash and $50.0 million was paid through the issuance of 1,100,740 shares of the common stock of Huron.  Of the common stock received, 330,222 shares with an aggregate value of $15.0 million were deposited into escrow for a period of one year, beginning on July 8, 2008, to secure certain indemnification obligations of the Company and its stockholders.   Additional purchase consideration may be payable by Huron if specific performance targets are met over a period beginning on July 8, 2008 and ending on December 31, 2011.  In addition, Huron will make the Company whole if the fair value of the common stock received from Huron declines at certain measurement dates.

Upon completion of the sale, both the payment obligations related thereto and the vesting of deferred compensation benefits were accelerated.  The Company paid the resulting obligation of $102.0 million on July 14, 2008.  These financial statements do not reflect any adjustment as a result of the sale.

HURON CONSULTING GROUP INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the estimated effect of the acquisition of Stockamp & Associates, Inc. (“Stockamp”) by Huron Consulting Group Inc. (the “Company”).

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 combines the respective balance sheets of the Company and Stockamp as if the acquisition was consummated on June 30, 2008. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 combine the respective statements of income of the Company and Stockamp as if the acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2007.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet and consolidated statements 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 asset purchase agreement, additional purchase consideration is payable to the sellers of Stockamp if specific performance targets are met over the period beginning on July 8, 2008 through December 31, 2011. 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 and the final net working capital adjustment.

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with Stockamp’s financial statements and notes thereto, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The unaudited pro forma financial information should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.

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 the Company’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

HURON CONSULTING GROUP INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


(1)  
Historical Stockamp Revenue Recognition – Stockamp earns revenue primarily from consulting services, software licensing, and software support and maintenance services.  Consulting fees include amounts which are fixed and determinable along with contingent fees.  Contingent-based fee engagements tie fees to the attainment of contractually defined objectives, which are frequently based upon measurable improvements in the client’s cash flows or revenues.  Historically, Stockamp’s engagement contract language does not allow for contingent fee revenue recognition under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) until upon the completion of the engagement when the defined objectives are measured.  Because a number of engagements containing contingent-based fees commenced in 2007 but will not be completed until 2008, a significant amount of cash collections was deferred at December 31, 2007 (representing a $13.5 million increase from December 31, 2006), as presented on Stockamp’s balance sheet included in Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Exhibit 99.1”).  These amounts will be generally recognized as revenue in 2008.  On a prospective basis, Stockamp’s engagement contract language will be revised to allow for GAAP revenue recognition of contingent-based fees throughout the engagement period as opposed to all at the conclusion of the engagement.  Stockamp’s historical revenue recognition policy is described in further detail in the notes to its financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1.
