REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of
Educo Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Educo
Incorporated as of August 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 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.
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 consolidated financial position of Educo Incorporated
as of August 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

EDUCO INCORPORATED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. COMPANY BACKGROUND:
EDUCO Incorporated ("Educo"), a privately held Maryland corporation, was
founded in 1963. Educo is currently comprised of eight owned schools and
two schools operated in partnership with Valschool, Inc. of Virginia Beach
(VB Joint Venture).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Educo and VB
Joint Venture as these are the entities that were purchased by Nobel
Education Dynamics, Inc. (Nobel) on September 1, 1995.
As required under the acquisition agreement with Nobel, on August 28, 1995
Educo purchased the outstanding third party shares of the VB Joint Venture
for a purchase price of $160,000 (net book value of $26,629). This
transaction has been presented in the financial statements similar to a
purchase of treasury stock. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made
to 1994 amounts in order to conform to the 1995 presentation.
The Company maintained cash balances with financial institutions which
exceeded the federally insured limits of $100,000 per institution.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 results.
RECOGNITION OF REVENUES:
Revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Expenses associated
with opening new centers are charged to expense as incurred.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed on a tax basis which approximates GAAP over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Leasehold improvements and The shorter of the lease-
assets under capital lease hold period or useful life
Furniture and equipment 3 to 5 years
Automobiles 5 years

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, CONTINUED:
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Upon
retirement or other disposition of buildings and furniture and equipment,
the cost of the items and the related accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
INCOME TAXES:
The Company records income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted
statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets
and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is
recognized in income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is
recorded based on the uncertainty regarding the ultimate realizability of
future deferred tax assets.
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
The balances of major property and equipment classes are as follows:

$33,000, respectively.
