PART I

Forward Looking Statements

Certain information included in this report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("Reform
Act"). Such statements are based on current expectations and involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and performance to differ materially from
any expected future results or performance, expressed or implied, by the forward-looking statements. In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the reform act, we have identified important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such expectations, including operating uncertainty, acquisition uncertainty, uncertainties relating to economic and political
conditions and uncertainties regarding the impact of regulations, changes in government policy and competition.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Current Operations

Since 1992, we have provided post-secondary educational and training courses for students throughout the United States. In recent years we have
expanded our operations to include course offerings to students in Canada and the United Kingdom. Our courses provide instruction in:



We
also develop and sell educational resource materials, which we prepare, to support our course offerings and for sale to the general public.

We
focused primarily on basic and advanced real estate training programs which we offered throughout the United States. Our U.S.-based real estate training programs represented
approximately 68% of our revenue in 2004. In 2003 it represented 79% of our revenue. Since 2001 we have gradually expanded our course offerings and geographical markets. We currently offer
approximately 175 educational courses and training programs per month covering more than 25 financially-oriented subjects which we provide either for free or on a fee basis to over 30,000 attendees
per month. For the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 88% of our revenue was generated from domestic sales and 12% was generated from sales made in Canada and the United Kingdom. For
the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 75% of our revenue was generated by students enrolled in a previous program of ours. Our tuition ranges from approximately $1,600 to $32,000 per
course of study. Our training is offered in the U.S. and internationally:



1

Our
students are primarily recruited by attending a free informational training session related to a specific educational subject which is hosted by one of our trainers or others and
held at a local hotel or other rented auditorium facility. The subject, date and location of the training session are generally advertised in local newspapers, on our Web site, www.russwhitney.com, in
television advertisements and through direct mailings and telemarketing. We hold these sessions in metropolitan areas throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Following the free
informational training session, the student may purchase reference materials on the subject discussed or may elect to receive further fee-based training in the many financial subjects we
offer, either in the student's hometown or in regional training centers which we rent temporarily in hotels. We engage over 85 trainers, instructors and mentors in connection with our various
educational course offerings.

Following
the first fee-based training session, students interested in learning more on the course topics may also subscribe to our periodic publications, purchase books or
software programs or attend advanced training courses. In addition to our over 25 resource publications, we offer three-day advanced training programs throughout the United States, in
Canada and the United Kingdom. We also provide post-training programs conducted by over 68 mentors, who travel to students' hometowns for "hands on" business training.

Our
telemarketing business is responsible for approximately 16% of total revenues and is generated by one of our subsidiaries. We telemarket our products and services to four types of
people: Those who registered to attend one of our free preview trainings, but did not attend; those who attended one of our training events, who purchased another of our trainings, and who have
completed the trainings within the last six months; those who attended one of our free preview trainings and who chose not to purchase any trainings or products; and those people who contact us
through the Internet and express an interest in being contacted. Our telemarketing division sells the same products and trainings as our live events, and also sells personal coaching, which is not
offered at our live trainings.

Currently,
approximately 68% of our revenue is derived from our various real estate training courses, which include leveraged residential and commercial real estate acquisition, real
estate financing techniques, the use of purchase/lease options, property management and real estate foreclosure techniques. The balance of our revenue is divided between courses offering other
business strategies, such as stock market strategies, options trading, asset protection, acquisition of commercial real estate properties, creative financing techniques, international finance and
topical business subjects along with the sale of reference materials.

In
June 2002 we acquired the Teach Me To Trade division of Maverick Trading LLC for $688,000 in cash, $750,000 in notes payable, and 189,655 shares of our common stock, valued at
$550,000. Teach Me To Trade offers courses similar to ours, but focuses on stock market investment strategies. We subsequently integrated the Teach Me To Trade courses into our own training sessions,
and its operations are included in the Whitney Information Network, Inc., Whitney Canada and Whitney UK accounts.

In
July 2003 we acquired Equity Corp. Holdings, Inc. and Whitney Leadership Group, Inc. which previously were owned by two of our executive officers. Whitney
Leadership holds all of the copyright and intellectual property rights associated with our educational materials and licensed these rights to us for payments which had averaged $239,000 annually over
the last three years. We entered into the acquisition agreement in order to eliminate these payments and to gain control of intellectual property rights that form the core of our business. Equity
Corp. has developed a program that allows homeowners to make mortgage payments every two weeks rather than monthly thereby more quickly reducing principal and accordingly reducing interest payments.
Equity Corp. also manages the processing of the payments through the customer's account to the mortgage holder. We use this program as a part of our basic real estate training courses and believed it
was important to acquire the program to insure the continuity of its use.

In
May 2003 we agreed to provide management services for Success Development, Inc., a Florida-based company engaged in the post-secondary real estate training
business. Under our agreement, we acquired SDI's database of over 200,000 students, agreed to administer SDI's Web site and assist it in marketing its training courses, which operated under the Cash
Flow Generator brand. Under this agreement we received 30% of profits. In November 2003, we exercised our option to purchase the assets of SDI for 180,000 shares of our common stock, valued at
$900,000. We subsequently integrated the Cash Flow Generator brand into our own systems, and its operations are included in the Whitney Information Network, Inc. accounts.

In
October 2003 we acquired all of the outstanding stock of SpeakTec, Inc. for $1,550,000. SpeakTec, Inc. is the holding company for Quantum Vision, Inc.,
which is the operating company. Of this amount, $550,000 was paid in cash and $1,000,000 was paid through the issuance of 200,000 shares of restricted common stock. We subsequently issued another
141,336 shares of restricted common stock valued at
$166,667 as certain benchmarks were reached. SpeakTec is engaged in the post-secondary financial training business similar to Teach Me To Trade, and operates its courses under the brand
name of Star Trader. We subsequently integrated the Star Trader brand into our own systems and its operations are included in the Whitney Information Network, Inc. accounts.

In
September 2004, we entered into a six-month agreement with Discount Buyers Association of America ("DBAA") to assume operational control over its business and
post-secondary education products. Simultaneously, we were granted an option to purchase all of the assets of DBAA. We paid $500,000 to DBAA for control of the business operations. We have
allowed the option to expire and charged $500,000 to expense for the year ended December 31, 2004.

We
support and supplement our educational training by providing our students with a series of outlines, magazines, books, cassette tapes, CDs, Web-based interactive
discussions and learning tools and software programs. Currently, we offer over 35 educational publications and software packages, which are distributed to students registered in our educational
programs and sold directly to the public.

Our Strategy

We believe we have the opportunity to significantly expand our leadership position in the financial education industry. In order to do so, we have implemented a
strategy that includes:

Educational Training

Following a free informational training session, we offer our students a variety of educational courses, which we also refer to as "programs," as well as
educational materials. These programs provide the opportunity to train either in the student's home town or at local or regional camps. Our trainers take students step-by-step
through a curriculum that stresses a broad range of financial educational training, money management and asset protection. We do not have any specific educational requirements for our trainers, but we
do require that they have experience with respect to the subjects they teach and that they have completed training programs which we provide that prepares them to teach their particular subjects. Our
financial educational training is taught to students in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom through traditional course study and hands-on training, and includes the following
subjects:

Basic Training.Following the free educational training session, our students may elect to learn more about the subject by
attending a basic course in the student's home town.

Real Estate.Our Building Wealth Workshop training is a local training program offering a curriculum that focuses on the
general business of real estate and teaches the fundamentals of negotiating real estate purchases with sellers, rehabilitating distressed properties, leasing rental units to tenants and using a
database to generate multiple sources of cash flow. Students are taught the mechanics of completing a real estate transaction in their community, from writing a contract to closing the transaction,
with emphasis upon creative financing strategies.

Our
Cash Flow Generator training is also a local training program offering a curriculum in real estate but with a different emphasis. It concentrates on the "buy, fix up and sell
concept." It emphasizes turning real estate quickly rather than holding long-term.

Each
of these brands appeals to different students depending upon business acumen and risk tolerances.

Business.Our three-day business local training workshops currently are in development and are being designed to
teach students how to organize and build a business, how to broker or buy judgments, discount notes and mortgages, how to fund a retirement plan at maximum levels, how to purchase property at discount
prices through auctions or online trading and how to arrange E-commerce accounts for clients and customers.

Financial.Our Teach Me To Trade Training Academy is a local training program offering a curriculum that focuses on stock
market trading strategies and uses proprietary software and specific

teaching
techniques designed by us. Students are taught to understand the stock markets, investment strategies, risks and how to maximize returns in both bull and bear markets.

Our
Star Trader training is similar to the Teach Me To Trade training, but with different emphasis. Star Trader emphasizes stock trading and the use of options and option trading in its
program. Similar to our two real estate training brands, Star Trader appeals to students who have a higher risk tolerance than the Teach Me To Trade students.

Advanced Real Estate Training

Upon completion of a local basic training program, students may seek more advanced training at our specialized regional training centers, which are generally
three days in length and are held in locations around the country. Many of these programs offer local tours so that students can observe negotiating techniques and view properties in the area.
Students are led through real estate acquisition and financing transactions from beginning to end and are provided with a number of real estate acquisition strategies.

Intensified Real Estate Training.Our Intensified Real Estate Training course is offered at training centers in Cape Coral,
Florida and in other locations in Florida and in other states. This course expands upon the students' knowledge of real estate gained from our basic course. During Intensified Real Estate Training,
students learn how to locate and analyze various property types and how to effectively analyze property income and expense. Students telephone actual sellers and then tour properties offered for sale
throughout the Cape Coral and Fort Myers, Florida areas. Students then conduct real estate investment negotiations and may complete transactions under the supervision of their instructor. Guest
speakers including investors, property managers, developers, grant officers, loan officers, realtors and mortgage brokers explain how students can locate financing for a variety of transactions, from
multi-unit apartment complexes to unimproved land.

Wholesale Buying.Our Wholesale Buying training course instructs students on the fundamentals of identifying, locating,
negotiating, financing and disposing of wholesale properties. Students are also taught how to develop an investor database and how to manage out-of-state properties. While
enrolled in this program, students develop a five-year investment plan with the help of our instructors. This program is focused upon taking students from the level of novice investor to a
proficiency in managing a real estate investment portfolio.

Foreclosure.Our Foreclosure Training course teaches the intricacies of the real estate foreclosure process, how and why
foreclosures occur, the role of secured lenders in foreclosure actions and discusses laws that affect lenders and borrowers. Students visit a local county courthouse to search foreclosure records and
review title and tax information. Students visit with owners of properties that are in foreclosure and learn how to negotiate transactions for properties in foreclosure. Our instructors also teach
students how to read foreclosure notices and how to refinance their acquisitions to generate cash at the closing. Students also learn how to inspect, estimate the value of and rehabilitate houses.

Purchase Options.Our Purchase Option training course is designed to teach students how to control an equitable interest in
property without actually owning the property and how to create lease options on properties. Students learn how to structure lease options and purchase options and how to generate cash from purchase
real estate transactions. Included with the course is a field trip and detailed information on how to select appropriate properties for option or purchase. Other sessions include negotiating with
prospective sellers and prospecting for tenants, buyers and lessees.

Property Management Cash Flow.Our Property Management & Cash Flow training course teaches students how to manage
their rental properties, including how to analyze monthly cash flows. Students also learn how to earn income by managing the properties of others and how to find and retain tenants. The course
curriculum includes numerous approaches to resolving tenant-landlord problems

such
as delinquent rents, raising rents and evicting tenants. Our instructors discuss governmental regulations and the tax implications associated with real estate. Students learn about the profit
potential for acquiring student housing and rooming houses as well as learning how to find and rehabilitate distressed properties. The program also teaches basic marketing techniques to increase
profits.

Investing in Mobile Homes.Our Manufactured/Mobile Homes & RV Parks training course teaches students how to buy, sell
and rent mobile homes and parks, an often overlooked segment of the real estate market. While mobile homes cost far less than frame constructed homes, they can yield a significant rate of return on
investment. Other subjects include developing and operating a mobile home park, expanding rental "pads" and lots to hold more units, obtaining standard and unconventional financings, estimating
fix-up, improvement and moving costs, obtaining seller financing terms and identifying attractive properties at foreclosures and repossessions.

Commercial Real Estate Investing.Our Commercial Real Estate Investing training course highlights the fundamentals of
analyzing, buying, managing and disposing of commercial properties. Students also learn how to establish relationships with lenders and government financing agencies. This course, like many of our
courses, teaches students how to rehabilitate properties and how to locate and pre-qualify tenants. Our trainers also teach students about various leasing arrangements and describe various
legal forms used in commercial property management. Students finish their training with a four-hour analysis tour of commercial properties.

Keys to Creative Real Estate Financing.Our Keys to Creative Real Estate Financing course teaches students how to create and
refinance mortgages, how to exchange properties without tax consequences and how to structure financings in light of prior credit problems. Discussions also include determining home equity, engaging
in real estate negotiations and the use of hard-money lenders.

Business Success Training

Our Business Success programs offer a series of training courses associated with starting a business, growing a business and protecting assets.

Asset Protection and Tax Relief.Our Asset Protection and Tax Relief training course describes various legal entities used to
hold property such as partnerships, corporations, and land and international trusts and the use of these entities to protect assets. Students also learn how to minimize income tax and estate tax
liabilities and to develop their own personal investment plans.

Discount Notes and Mortgages.Our Discount Notes and Mortgages training course teaches students how to broker and buy
commercial paper at a discount. Students learn how to locate funding sources for discounted notes and mortgages. Trainers also teach students how to discount other sources of debt such as business
leases, business notes, inheritances, lotteries, life insurance policies and structured settlements.

Financial Training Programs

Our Financial Training programs are designed to help students learn about stock market and international equity investing.

Master Trader.Our Master Trader Advanced Training course is a three-day program offering intensified training
designed to provide traders and investors with the knowledge needed to prosper in various market environments. This program offers the students a selection of long and short-term
strategies and uses state of the art proprietary software. Course work includes technical analysis, fundamental analysis and our Master Training techniques.

Trading P.I.T.Our Trading P.I.T. (pros-in-training) course describes the trading approaches of top money
managers. The course teaches students how to create an income stream using more conservative trading techniques and other strategies designed to limit risk while increasing the probability of success.
Strategies covered include a number of trading approaches such as bidirectional trading, hedged directional trading, nondirectional trading, floor-trading strategies and capital preservation. Our
5-Point STAR Trader Formula allows users to quickly scan the market, generate forecasts and select strategies.

Single Stock Futures.Our Single Stock Futures course addresses changes in rules regarding single stock futures. We discuss
new tools associated with spread trading and leveraged trading. Students are taught the legal framework of single stock futures, set-ups and strategies and where single stock futures fit
into their diversified portfolios.

Advanced P.I.T. Training Camp.Our Advanced P.I.T. Training course offers our students the opportunity to experience the
market from the insidedirectly from the floor of an organized exchange during a market visit followed by a simulated floor trading session after the market closes. Instruction is provided
by our options trainers. Subjects include advanced spread trading strategies, CPR (current portfolio repair) and creating a personal mutual fund.

International Finance and Investment Training Course.We have recently developed a new advanced training program in
international finance and investment which is offered in our Costa Rica Conference Center. This program offers a curriculum that includes wealth building and investment opportunities overseas. The
training also addresses the benefits of establishing a business internationally, investing in foreign markets, raising venture and working capital internationally and asset protection.

Mentoring Programs

We offer advanced training programs conducted by our over 50 mentors, who travel to the students' home towns for "hands-on" business training.

Real Estate.Our Real Estate mentoring program applies the curriculum of the basic real estate camps to the student's city of
choice. Under this program, one of our mentors travels to the student's city for four days to guide the student through an investment transaction. Students review the real estate acquisition
techniques involved and learn the real estate characteristics of the local market. Students can put to practice the skills they have gained while working directly with an experienced mentor.

Financial.For mentored financial training, our students travel to our state-of-the-art learning center in Salt Lake City and
spend three and one-half days coached by an experienced stock market trader.

Additional Products

We market directly to customers a wide range of educational and reference products that supplement our training programs, such as our Building Wealth Real Estate
Home Study Course; Real Estate Success System Software; Business Success System Software; Discount Notes and Mortgages Home Study Course; self-help courses and manuals that provide
students with information about their credit along with first-time homebuyers' manuals.

Sales and Marketing

We create interest in and demand for our educational programs, products and services through a mix of television advertising, print advertising, direct mail,
e-mail, attendance at trade shows and Internet marketing. We employ a sales force of over 50 individuals trained to handle the needs of new

students,
to promote new products and services to existing and former students and to respond to customer inquiries via phone, e-mail or the Internet.

Our
marketing programs include:



Competition

The financial education training business is highly-fragmented and intensely competitive. In a broad sense, we compete with national and international
post-secondary education companies, such as Apollo Group, Devry Educational, Sylvan and New Horizon, which offer technical and industrial training and career training. We do not, however,
compete with these or other companies that offer undergraduate or advanced degrees or continuing education programs. More specifically, we compete with a number of smaller companies, such as Wyse
Trade and Robbins Research International, which offer training on specific business subjects including real estate and stock market investing. Generally, competitive factors within the proprietary
educational market include the range and depth of course offerings, the quality of teachers and trainers, the quality of reference materials provided in connection with course studies and the cost of
the educational process. We believe that the range and depth of our course offerings and our brand name offer competitive advantages over many of our direct competitors. We train our own teachers and
trainers and we prepare most of our own course materials which we believe offer us competitive advantages over companies that do not train their own teachers or develop their own educational
materials. As a result of constantly attending the training sessions of our competitors, we believe that the quality of our teachers, trainers and reference materials are consistent or superior to
those of our competitors. Our charges for our educational courses are also consistent with those of our competitors. Many of our competitors have financial and marketing resources and name recognition
superior to ours.

Intellectual Property

We regard our educational materials and products, trademarks, service marks and trade symbols as proprietary and we rely primarily on statutory and common law
protections, such as copyrights and trademarks, to protect our interests in these materials. While some of our products and trade names are commonly used terms and do not afford us significant
copyright or trademark protection, we also use employee and third-party non-competition and non-disclosure agreements and other contractual methods of protecting proprietary
rights to safeguard our intellectual property.

Employees

At December 31, 2004 we had approximately 420 employees, plus over 90 independent contractors who act as trainers, instructors and mentors. Our employees
are not represented by a labor union, and we believe our relations with our employees are satisfactory.

Government Regulation

We rely on advertising to attract new students and most states regulate post-secondary education advertising practices. Since our inception we are
aware of four occasions in which states have investigated our advertising practices. These states were Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. In 1996, Florida terminated its investigation into
our advertising practices without charges or penalties. In 1998, we agreed to a Michigan Assurance of Discontinuance that required us to be licensed to sell business opportunities. We paid an
investigation fee of $250, did not admit wrongdoing and have been conducting business in Michigan since 1998 without incident. In 1998, we agreed to a Pennsylvania Assurance of Voluntary Compliance
pursuant to which we agreed to comply with all applicable requirements of the Consumer Protection Law. We did not admit wrongdoing and have been conducting business in Pennsylvania since 1998 without
incident. We paid Pennsylvania $4,000 to cover investigative costs. In 1997, we agreed to a Tennessee Agreed Final Order, in which we agreed not to violate the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act in
connection with our advertisements. We did not admit wrongdoing and have been conducting business in Tennessee since 1997 without incident. We paid Tennessee $9,500, of which $7,500 was to cover
investigative costs.

Risk Factors

Investors should consider the following risks prior to investing in our securities.

If We Do Not Successfully Introduce New Programs, Products and Services, Our Growth Rate and Revenue Will be Reduced.

Our
growth strategy is dependent on our ability to sell existing training programs, products and services to new students, to open new markets and to develop and introduce new
educational programs, products and services. If we are unable to expand our markets and products, our growth rate and revenue will be reduced. Market conditions and the level of customer interest may
be different for our current products than for new products, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete favorably with, and obtain market acceptance for, any such new programs,
products or services.

Volatility in the Securities Markets May Reduce Interest in Our Stock Market Courses.

The
level of public interest in investing, particularly in the securities and option markets as well as electronic trading, significantly influences the demand for our stock market
programs and related financial education products and services. The securities markets have experienced weakness and substantial volatility over the last few years. A further decline in securities
prices or other negative developments in the securities markets could cause a reduced demand for these programs, products and services.

Failure to Comply with State Laws Regulating the Marketing and Sale of Proprietary Educational Courses Could Harm Our Reputation and the Demand for Our Course
Offerings.

Many
states regulate the marketing and sale of proprietary educational courses, including the content of advertisements to attract students. Failure to comply with these regulations
could result in legal action instituted by the states, including cease and desist and injunction actions. In the event we are subject to such legal action, our reputation would be harmed and the
demand for our course offerings could be significantly reduced.

If Our Planned Expansion Into Foreign Markets is Unsuccessful, Our Profits Will be Reduced.

Our
business strategy calls for us to expand into foreign markets, including English-speaking countries in Europe, as well as Spain. We have limited experience providing education and
training outside North America and no such experience in non-English speaking markets. Accordingly, there is a higher degree of risk associated with our expansion into foreign markets than
that which is associated with our ongoing expansion in the United States. Should our expansion provide unsuccessful, our profitability could be reduced.

Continued Significant Compensation Payments to Our Chief Executive Officer Could Impair Our Working Capital Thereby Reducing Our Operations

In
2004 we paid Russell A. Whitney, our Chief Executive Officer, a salary and bonus of $600,000 and $600,000, respectively. Bonuses granted by the Board of Directors to
Mr. Whitney are expected to be between 50% and 150% of his salary, depending on our level of profitability. Nevertheless, substantial
payments in the future to Mr. Whitney could impair our working capital, thereby reducing our operations.

The Current Market Price of Our Common Stock Significantly Exceeds Our Book Value Per Share and Increases the Risk That Our Market Value Per Share May Decline in the
Future.

The
current market price per share of our common stock greatly exceeds our book value per share, which was a deficit of $(3.85) at December 31, 2004. The lower book value per
share increases the risk that our market value per share may decline in the future.

Our Chief Executive Officer Controls a Majority of Our Outstanding Capital Stock, Which Means That He Has the Ability to Approve Any Matter Requiring Shareholder
Approval.

Russell
A. Whitney, Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, controls approximately 77% of our outstanding capital stock. As such, Mr. Whitney can approve any matter requiring
the vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors. Mr. Whitney could, without other stockholders, vote to approve a transaction that is not necessarily in the best interests of
other stockholders or reject a transaction that may be in the best interests of other stockholders. For example, Mr. Whitney's stock ownership may prevent a third party from acquiring a
controlling position in our common stock. In many instances, a third party desiring to purchase a controlling position is willing to pay a premium to the market price. Mr. Whitney's stock
ownership would likely prevent such an event from occurring.

Our Board of Directors, Without Stockholder Approval, May Issue Preferred Stock Which Could Reduce the Voting Power of Our Other Stockholders

Our
Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors can fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the
shares of each series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. Further, issuance of preferred
stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or of discouraging a third-party from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

The Loss of Any of Our Key Personnel, Especially Mr. Whitney, Would Disrupt Our Operations and Hurt Our Profitability.

Our
future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of our senior management, especially, Russell A. Whitney, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on the life of Mr. Whitney. The loss of the services of Mr. Whitney would likely have a significant detrimental
effect on our business as he is our founder and is involved in every aspect of our business.

Our Stockholders May Suffer Dilution As a Result of Our Outstanding Common Stock Options.

As
of December 31, 2004, there were 1,827,475 common stock options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $1.75 to 4.50 per share. The issuance of option shares below market
price can cause dilution in the value of our common stock as compared to the then market price of the common stock paid by purchasers in the offering.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our executive offices are located in a 30,000 square foot office building we own at 1612 E. Cape Coral Parkway, Cape Coral, Florida 33904. We also own a
7,000 square foot conference and training center in Costa Rica, which we designed and built in 2002. We have purchased a 5,600 square foot building on Bath Road, Chiswick, London in the United Kingdom
and a building in Orlando, Florida; both were purchased for use as a training center.

We
lease 2,200 square feet of training facilities at 1611 E. Cape Coral Parkway, 9,000 square feet of space at 1625 E. Cape Coral Parkway which is used for shipping, and 5,000 square
feet at 1630 SE 47th Terrace which we use as a Training Center and for storage, all in Cape Coral Florida from Cape Promenade Trust which is for the benefit of Russell A. Whitney, our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his wife Ingrid. The leases are for three years and began on March 1, 2003, March 1, 2003 and June 1, 2004 respectively. The monthly
rentals are $1,943, $7,950, and $7,238 respectively. The terms of the leases are no less favorable than those which we could obtain from an independent third party.

We
lease 13,553 square feet of office space at 12244 South Business Park Drive, Suite 230, in Draper, Utah. The lease expires in October 2006 and is payable at the rate of $6,128
per month.

Our
Canadian subsidiary leases 1,200 square feet of office space at 3780-14th Avenue, Unit 20, Ontario, Canada. The lease expires in May 2005 and is
payable at rates increasing from $1,081 to $1,654 per month over the term of the lease.

We
lease approximately 6,783 square feet of office space at 2 South 400 West in Salt Lake City, Utah. The lease expires in 2010 and is payable at the rate of $9,327 per month. The
facilities are being used as a training center.

We
locate what we refer to as regional training centers in hotels in a number of cities across our market areas. We rent, generally for three to five days, meeting rooms in these hotels
for use in training our students.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, Whitney is involved in legal proceedings that we consider to be in the normal course of business. We do not believe that any of these
proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies

Speaker fee commission payments earned for generating the revenue are deferred until such time as the revenue is earned. Advertising costs, training room rentals,
and direct selling expenses are

12

---



expensed
as incurred. Advertising paid in advance is recorded as prepaid until such time as the advertisement is published.

Historically,
the amount of advertising and direct selling expenses that we incur is directly related to the amount of revenue we earn in the form of course revenue. The revenue from the
training courses can be deferred as much as one year after the advertising and selling expenses to acquire that revenue are spent. From a financial reporting standpoint, this business model, coupled
with this revenue recognition and expense deferral policy will create increased losses, or reduced net income, in periods in which sales are growing at a fast rate.

The
expenses, which are normally paid ahead of the sale, rose dramatically in 2004. We have always said that in a period of rising sales, we will show a proportionate loss from
operations. We have deferred revenues at December 31, 2004 in excess of $62,000,000 which will become income in 2005.

As
we continue to sell new courses and products, the deferred revenue will be replenished. For the first quarter of 2005, we expect that cash from operations will be in excess of
$7,000,000 and our total cash will be more than $13,000,000.

From
a balance sheet perspective, the liability, which we designate as "deferred revenue," will increase when the amount of program sales exceed the amount of programs attended and the
amount of program expirations. A significant increase in the number of students completing our training courses over the amount of new program sales will cause our deferred revenue to decrease and
therefore increase our taxable income. Stated differently, deferred revenue will increase in times of business
growth and decrease in times of business contraction. Furthermore, since we receive cash in advance of providing the training, we must retain sufficient cash to pay both income taxes on future profits
and final training costs.

Future Operations

Our losses over the years, from inception to now, are a result of our accounting method of recording expenses when they are incurred, while not recording revenue
until the course is taken by the student. The student must take his/her courses within the subsequent year, but we incur the cost of obtaining the student in the beginning. We are paid when the
student registers for the course. These funds are what make up our deferred revenue. Over the years, this deferred revenue has been rising and continues to rise. In 2004 this deferral rose over
$24 million to $62,690,000. For the first quarter of 2005, it continues to rise. This creates revenues which in the future will become income. Our first quarter of 2005 will be profitable. Our
earnings are positive and our cash flow from operations rose over $7,400,000 and our overall cash balance is in excess of $13,000,000. Since inception we have had positive cash flow from operations
and this will continue through 2005.

In
2004, we made investments in new property, equipment and a real estate project in Cape Coral, Florida. We invested $3.5 million in the real estate and $7 million in
property and equipment. These funds came from the cash generated by operations.

Deferred Revenue and Expenses

We are engaged primarily in the business of providing financial education through training courses, which we also refer to as "programs" as well as educational
materials. We record the proceeds from the sale of training programs as deferred revenue when it is received. The revenue is earned when the student attends the training program or at the expiration
of our obligation to provide training, whichever comes first. Students pay for the courses in advance, the fees are generally non-refundable, and the students are allowed one year to
complete their program. A student of an advanced training course may request and receive a refund before the start of the second day of training. A student may also receive a refund within three days
of their purchase by exercising a right of rescission. In such

13

---



cases,
the corresponding amount of deferred revenue is relieved with no impact on the consolidated statement of operations.

Certain
speaker fees and commission payments are deferred until the revenue is earned. Advertising costs, training room rentals, and direct selling expenses are expensed as incurred.
Advertising paid in advance is recorded as prepaid until such time as the advertisement is published.

Historically,
the amount of revenue earned is directly related to the amount of advertising and direct selling expenses incurred. The revenue from the training courses can be deferred as
much as one year after the advertising and selling expenses are spent. A statement of operations will show increased losses, or reduced net income, in periods in which sales are growing at a fast
rate.

From
a balance sheet perspective, the liability, which we designate as "deferred revenue," will increase when the amount of program sales exceed the amount of programs attended and the
amount of program expirations. When there are more training courses completed, as compared to the amount of new program sales, our deferred revenue will decrease and therefore increase our income.
Furthermore, since we receive cash in advance of providing the training, we need to retain sufficient cash to pay final training costs.

Results Of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to December 31, 2003

Revenue

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $139,859,000, an increase of $44,901,000 or 47% compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in
sales was caused by several factors. There was significant growth in all segments of the business. The Cash Flow Generator brand, which was introduced in 2003, had revenues of $22,500,000 in 2004. The
Star Trader brand began training programs in November 2003 and did not show significant revenue in 2003, but had revenues of $8,700,000 in 2004. The Teach Me To Trade brand showed a 100%
increase in sales, ($36,000,000 vs. $18,000,000 in 2003). UK based sales increased over by over 34% from $8,100,000 in 2003 to $10,900,000 in 2004, as well as the Canadian based sales increased from
$2,500,000 in 2003 to $6,400,000 in 2004, an increase of 156%. In addition to growth in the training segments, our telemarketing sales increased by 107% from $12,100,000 in 2003 to $25,100,000 in
2004. The financial education training programs were approximately 28% of gross revenues for 2004. They were not
significant in prior periods. The foreign based sales for 2004 were approximately 14% of gross revenues, or $17,300,000, an increase of $3,975,000, or 30% of the revenue for 2003, $13,325,000.

The
proceeding discussion provides a breakdown of what operations and products have accounted for our increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 over the comparable
period for 2003. The overriding theme is that the increase in revenues has been caused by the increase in our sales volume, courses held, and course attendees. In November, 2004, we raised the price
of our courses an average of 10.2%, while not raising the price of materials. It was the first price increase in its courses for over two years. Consequently, nearly all of the increase in revenues is
attributable to

14

---



volume
increases. The following table shows the number of courses held and the number of attendees in 2003 and 2004:

Based
upon our business plan, we are planning for the same trends to continue forward. The financial education training segment will continue to grow domestically with the expansion of
the Star Trader, and with the expansion of the number of events with the Teach Me To Trade brand. And the segment will grow internationally, as both of the brands have expanded into Canada in 2004,
and Teach Me To Trade has expanded into the UK in 2004. The real estate training segments will continue to grow domestically, as the Cash Flow Generator brand expands its course offerings, and as
joint ventures with other affiliates expand their course offerings in 2004. The real estate course offerings are also being expanded in the UK, and we intend to increase the real estate course
offerings in other countries in Europe.

Our
telemarketing business is responsible for approximately 16% of total revenues. We telemarket our products and services to four types of people: Those who registered to attend one of
our free preview trainings, but did not attend; those who attended one of our training events, who purchased another of our trainings, and who have completed the trainings within the last six months;
those who attended one of our free preview trainings and who chose not to purchase any trainings or products; and those people who contact us through the Internet and express an interest in being
contacted. Our telemarketing division sells the same products and trainings as our live events, and also sells personal coaching, which is not offered at our live trainings. The revenue recognition
policy of the items sold is the same as the revenue recognition policy of the items sold at our other events. Revenue is not recognized until the trainings or coaching is delivered, or until the
contract period expires. The amount of course revenue generated from contract expirations is significant. We intend to increase the percentage of revenue realized from course attendance over the
revenue realized from contract expirations. Our company has business relationships with other people and businesses in the same or similar lines of business. Our efforts with these joint venture
partners result in the sales of our products and trainings. The difference is that our joint venture partners do the marketing for and manage the production of those events. Our representatives are
offered an opportunity to appear at those events and present to the audience the various products and trainings we offer. The profits generated from sales that occur at these events are then split in
different ratios between our company and the particular joint venture partner.

Direct Course Expenses

Direct course expenses, which consist of instructors' fees, facilities costs and field representatives' salaries and travel expenses, increased proportionately in
comparison with the increase in sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $57,952,000, an increase of $11,148,000 or 24% compared to $46,800,000 in the same period of 2003. Direct course
expenses as a percent of revenue were 41% for 2004 versus 49% for 2003. Direct course expenses are primarily driven by the number of courses held. The overall increase in courses held during 2004 were
2,468 compared to 2,132 in 2003. The only expense that is deferred and matched to the amount of revenue that is deferred is the speaker commissions that are paid for the sales that are generated.
Included in the consolidated statement of operations for direct course expenses is the expense related to the commissions that are paid on earned

15

---



revenue.
Speaker fee commissions are approximately 8.4% of the revenue amount generated. We do not expect this ratio to significantly change, although some areas will see increased expense and some
will see reductions. Economies of scale are anticipated in the direct course expenses as alternative delivery methods are being developed and implemented. These improvements will however, be offset by
an increase in the cost of delivering a higher ratio of courses to students.

General
and administrative expenses increased to $33,200,000, an increase of $10,800,000 or 48% compared to $22,400,000 for the same period in 2003. This increase was due primarily to
increased personnel hired to handle the increase in our volume of business. Payroll and payroll benefits account for approximately 89% of general and administrative expenses. It includes bonuses to
executive officers of $1,350,000. This makes general and administrative expenses controllable as our volume grows or contracts. General and administrative expenses as a per cent of sales, decreased by
0.2%.however we believe that this trend will not continue. Significant increases in the following administrative areas are planned:



Advertising and Selling Expenses

Advertising and sales expense, of which advertising represents approximately 85% of the expense for the year ended December 31, 2004, were $79,500,000, an
increase of $52,000,000 or 189% compared to $27,500,000 in the same period in 2003. The addition of more brands, the continued expansion of the brands internationally, and the expansion in the number
of selling teams for each brand were reflected in this increase. Advertising and sales expense is primarily driven by the number of free previews held as this is where the initial investment is made.
Under the current methods of accounting used, all of the advertising expenses and most sales expenses are attributable to the free preview trainings and are not deferred until the related deferred
revenue is earned. The growth of the advertising and sales expense over the comparable period of 2003 is primarily due to the increase in free preview trainings held from 476 to 842 in 2003 and 2004
respectively. We expect that this trend will continue and that advertising and selling expenses will continue to increase as we increase its course offerings.

Net Income

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $29,900,000 as compared with a net loss of $1,600,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, a
decrease of 1,770% or $(3.48) per share as compared to $(0.19) per share for the prior period. The decrease is directly attributable to increased expenses in all categories in 2004 over the prior
period, and to the fact that new sales of advanced training courses continue to outpace the rate at which courses are offered and delivered to students. This is reflected in the fact that deferred
revenue increased by $24,096,000 in 2004, as compared to an increase of only $14,060,000 in 2003. This trend will continue. As long as our sales show high growth rates, we must also expand our course
offerings to keep pace with that growth. This is a critical performance indicator for us. So long as course delivery can keep pace with sales, then we can report net income more closely related to
cash provided from operations. In the event that sales of courses

16

---



continue
to outpace the delivery of those courses, then we may continue to show losses, or lower net profits. (See "ITEM 7, Deferred Revenues and Expenses")

Liquidity and Capital Resources at December 31, 2004

At December 31, 2004, we had cash of $6,848,000 as compared with $15,000,000 at December 31, 2003. This decrease of $8,152,000 was attributable
primarily to the net loss of $29,400,000, the additional investment into property and equipment ($7,000,000), the prepayment of notes payable to related parties ($4,700,000). There was an increase in
deferred revenues ($24,100,000).

Cash
provided by operating activities was $2,200,000 versus $7,900,000 for the period ended December 31, 2003. This decrease in the amount of cash generated as a percentage of
sales was caused by the increase in total expenses, which is a result of the large increase in sales. (See "Item 7. Deferred Revenue and Expenses".) We expect to continue using cash from
operating activities to expand operations, as cash provided from operations should average 81/2% of revenues in 2005.

Our
cash used in investing activities was $9,201,000 and $2,750,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing for the
year ended December 31, 2004 was due to the additional investments in property and equipment. Of the cash used for the additional property and equipment, $3,646,000 was from proceeds of
additional borrowings. We feel that we have adequate cash available for investing activities.

At
December 31, 2004 we had unused amounts under letters of credit to secure merchant accounts and certain state bonding requirements aggregating $1,500,000. These letters of
credit expire in January 2005 and October 2005 and carry an interest rate of 2.98% and 3.68%, respectively. The January 2005 letter of credit was renewed until
January 2006.

From
time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions of business products or technologies that complement our business. To the extent that resources are insufficient to fund future
activities, we may need to raise additional funds. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding, if needed, will be available. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we
may be unable to expand our business, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We
develop and introduce most of our courses internally and therefore our expansion into new overseas markets requires few strategic relationships or contracts. Normally we visit the
market and contact realtors, attorneys and media people, to determine local procedures and customs. We then develop the manuals and course materials internally. We lease temporary office space in each
market until we can find permanent facilities and hire and train personnel to staff our offices. Our contractual

17

---



commitments
are extremely minimal but our investment in personnel is significant and is our largest expense. We estimate that the cost of developing a new foreign market, including air travel,
personnel and incidental costs, will amount to $300,000 to $400,000. This amount includes development of manuals and training materials, development of marketing materials, analysis of markets and
laws for the target country to be funded over an approximately 10 month period.

A
review of the working capital components will show that the primary factor causing a negative balance is the presence of deferred revenue in the liability component. All of this
revenue has been collected and will be realized revenue when the training occurs. The reason that we can continue to expand our business, is that our cash flows from operations continue to be strong
and are projected to be able to fund our continued growth. The operating cash flows of the business do not correlate with the net income of the business because of the above described revenue
recognition policy. Finally, the cost to deliver a typical $3,000 advanced course (which is in deferred revenue) is about $600. Thus the future cost to deliver the deferred revenue is about 20% of the
revenue amount.

We
cannot say at this time how much liquidity will be needed, as there are a variety of financing alternatives.

We
believe our cash resources are more than sufficient to fund our operation and growth plans for the next 12 months.

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to December 31, 2002

Revenue

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $95,000,000, an increase of $33,000,000 or 53% compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in
sales was caused by several factors. First, there was significant growth all segments of the business. Co-marketing efforts with business joint ventures had an increase in sales over 2002
of $7,000,000. The Cash Flow Generator brand was new in 2003 and showed strong results for the first year ($9,500,000) The Star Trader brand began training programs in November 2003 and did not
show significant revenue in 2003. The Teach Me To Trade brand showed a large increase in sales over 2002 (18,000,000 gross, 15,200,000 earned), UK based sales increased over 2002 (8,100,000 gross,
5,700,000 earned) as well as the Canadian based sales ($2,500,000). Much of this increase in sales was treated as deferred revenue at December 31, 2003 ($14,000,000) as the course deliveries
were unable to grow as fast as sales. In addition to growth in the training segments, our telemarketing sales increased by 41% from $8,600,000 in 2002 to $12,100,000 in 2003. The financial education
training programs were approximately 25% of gross revenues for 2003. They were not significant in prior periods. The UK and Canadian based sales for 2003 were approximately 15% of gross revenues, and
they were not significant in prior periods.

Secondly,
our customers' contract periods were shortened to one year. Consequently, our responsibility to deliver additional training expired in one year. Prior to July 2002, the
contract period lasted eighteen months. This resulted in an increase in revenue realized from contract expirations compared to 2002 ($5,500,000). And lastly, we were able to significantly increase the
number of students completing our training courses over the prior year.

The
proceeding discussion provides a breakdown of what operations and products have accounted for our increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 over the comparable
period for 2002. The overriding theme is that the increase in revenues has been caused by the increase in our sales volume, courses held, and course attendees. We have not had a price increase in its
courses for

18

over
two years. Consequently, all of the increase in revenues is attributable to volume increases. The following table shows the number of courses held and the number of attendees in 2002 and 2003:

Based
upon our business plan, we are planning for the same trends to continue forward. The financial education training segment will continue to grow domestically with the introduction
of the second brand (Star Trader) into normal operations, and with the expansion of the number of events with the Teach Me To Trade brand. And the segment will grow internationally, as both of the
brands are expanding into Canada in 2004, and Teach Me To Trade is expanding into the UK in 2004. The real estate training segments will continue to grow in 2004 domestically, as the Cash Flow
Generator brand expands its course offerings, and as the joint ventures with other affiliates expand their course offerings in 2004. The real estate course offerings are also being expanded in the UK,
and we intend to increase the real estate course offerings in other countries in Europe.

Our
telemarketing business is responsible for approximately 12% of total revenues. We telemarket our products and services to four types of people: Those who registered to attend one of
our free preview trainings, but did not attend; those who attended one of our training events, who purchased another of our trainings, and who have completed the trainings within the last six months;
those who attended one of our free preview trainings and who chose not to purchase any trainings or products; and those people who contact us through the Internet and express an interest in being
contacted. Our telemarketing division sells the same products and trainings as our live events, and also sells personal coaching, which is not offered at our live trainings. The revenue recognition
policy of the items sold is the same as the revenue recognition policy of the items sold at our other events. Revenue is not recognized until the trainings or coaching is delivered, or until the
contract period expires.

We
have business relationships with other people and businesses in the same or similar lines of business. Our efforts with theses joint venture partners result in the sales our company's
products and trainings. The difference is that our joint venture partners do the marketing for and manage the production of those events. Representatives of our company are offered an opportunity to
appear at those events and present to the audience our various products and training. The profits generated from sales that occur at those events are then split in different ratios between our company
and the particular joint venture partner.

Direct Course Expenses

Direct course expenses, which consist of instructors' fees, facilities costs and field representatives' salaries and travel expenses, increased proportionately in
comparison with the increase in sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $46,800,000, an increase of $18,400,000 or 65% compared to $28,400,000 in the same period of 2002. Direct course
expenses as a percent of revenue were 49% for 2003 versus 46% for 2002. Direct course expenses are primarily driven by the number of courses that are held. The overall increase in courses held during
2003 of 2,132 compared to 1,426 in 2002 drives these expenses. The only expense that is deferred and matched to the amount of revenue that is deferred is the speaker commissions that are paid for the
sales that are generated. So included in the consolidated statement of operations for direct course expenses is the expense related to the commissions that are paid on deferred revenue that is earned.
The increase in the amount of deferred revenue earned is illustrated in the increase in the number of advanced course attendees from 5,314 in

19

---



2002
to 9,960 in 2003. Speaker fee commissions are approximately 12% of the revenue amount generated. We do not expect this ratio to significantly change, although some areas will see increased
expense and some will see reductions. Economies of scale are anticipated in the direct course expenses as alternative delivery methods are being developed and implemented. Also, we believe that
significant reductions in the cost of instructor fees and facility costs can be obtained in 2004 and beyond. These improvements will however, be offset by an increase in the cost of delivering a
higher ratio of courses to students. The amount of course revenue generated from contract expirations is a significant issue in our eyes and we intend to increase the percentage of revenue realized
from course attendance over the revenue realized from contract expirations.

General
and administrative expenses increased to $22,300,000, an increase of $8,400,000 or 60% compared to $13,900,000 for the same period in 2002. This increase was due primarily to
increased personnel hired to handle the increase in our volume of business. Payroll and payroll benefits account for approximately 80% of general and administrative expenses. This makes general and
administrative expenses controllable as our volume grows or contracts. General and administrative expenses as a per cent of sales have increased by 2-4% over the past three years, and we
believe that this trend will continue, although at a moderate rate. Significant increases in the following administrative areas are planned:



Advertising and Selling Expenses

Advertising and sales expense, of which advertising represents approximately 22% of the expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003, were $27,500,000, an
increase of $13,000,000 or 98% compared to $13,600,000 in the same period in 2002. The addition of more brands, the continued expansion of the brands internationally, and the expansion in the number
of selling teams for each brand were reflected in this increase. Advertising and sales expense is primarily driven by the number of free previews held as this is where the initial investment is made.
Under the current methods of accounting used, all of the advertising expenses and most sales expenses are attributable to the free preview trainings and are not deferred until the related deferred
revenue is earned. The growth of the advertising and sales expense over the comparable period of 2002 is primarily due to the increase in free preview trainings held from 258 to 476 in 2002 and 2003,
respectively. We expect that this trend will continue and that advertising and selling expenses will continue to increase as we increase its course offerings.

Net Income

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1,600,000 as compared with net income of $6,200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, a
decrease of 100% or $.19 per share as compared to $.78 per share for the prior period. The decrease is directly attributable to increased expenses in all categories in 2003 over the prior period, and
to the fact that new sales of advanced training courses continue to outpace the rate at which courses are offered and delivered to students. This is reflected in the fact that deferred revenue
increased by $14,000,000 in 2003, as compared to an increase of only $600,000 in 2002. As discussed in the revenue and expense recognition policies, this trend will continue.

20

---



As
long as we sales show high growth rates it must also expand its course offerings to keep pace with that growth. This is a critical performance indicator for us. So long as course delivery can keep
pace with sales, then we can report net income more closely related to cash provided from operations. In the event that sales of courses continue to outpace the delivery of those courses, then we may
continue to show losses, or lower net profits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at December 31, 2003

At December 31, 2003, we had cash of $15,000,000 as compared with $12,100,000 at December 31, 2002. This increase of $2,900,000 was attributable
primarily to cash provided by operations.

Cash
provided by operating activities was $7,900,000 versus $9,700,000 for the period ended December 31, 2002. This decrease in the amount of cash generated as a percentage of
sales was caused by an increase in working capital needed to fund the expansion of brands ($750,000), and the amount of pre-paid advertising needed for each brand ($1,100,000). We expect
to continue using cash from operating activities to expand operations, as cash provided from operations should continue to average 8-12% of revenue.

Our
cash used in investing activities was $2,900,000 and $4,900,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing for the
year ended December 31, 2003 was due to a decrease in our overall investing activities and due to a change in the way we have been structuring acquisitions. Our acquisitions of the Cash Flow
Generator brand and the Star Trader brand in 2003 were accomplished with a large percentage of the acquisition price being paid in company stock. $550,000 was paid in cash for the acquisition of the
Star Trader brand of which $450,000 was allocated to identifiable intangible assets. In 2003, we also paid $2,000,000 for a 50% equity interest is SCB Building, LLC which is constructing an office
building in Orlando, FL. In 2002, we acquired for cash the Teach Me To Trade brand, purchased an airplane, and made progress
payments on our facility in Costa Rica. We plan to continue future acquisitions in the same manner as we did in 2003. Therefore, we feel that we have adequate cash available for investing activities.

At
December 31, 2003 we had unused amounts under letters of credit to secure merchant accounts and certain state bonding requirements aggregating $1,500,000. These letters of
credit expire in January 2005 and October 2005 and carry an interest rate of 2.98% and 3.68%, respectively. The January 2005 letter of credit was renewed until
January 2006.

From
time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions of business products or technologies that complement our business. To the extent that resources are insufficient to fund future
activities, we may need to raise additional funds. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding, if needed, will be available. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we
may be unable to expand our business, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We
develop and introduce most of our courses internally and therefore our expansion into new overseas markets requires few strategic relationships or contracts. Normally
we visit the market and contact realtors, attorneys and media people, to determine local procedures and customs. We then develop the manuals and course materials internally. We lease temporary office
space in each market until we can find permanent facilities and hire and train personnel to staff our offices. Our contractual commitments are extremely minimal but our investment in personnel is
significant and our largest expense. We estimate that the cost of developing a new foreign market, including air travel, personnel and incidental costs, will amount to $300,000 to $400,000. This
amount includes development of manuals and training materials, development of marketing materials, analysis of markets and laws for the target country to be funded over an approximately
10 month period.

A
review of the working capital components will show that the primary factor causing a negative balance is the presence of deferred revenue in the liability component. All of this
revenue has been collected and will be realized revenue when the training occurs. The reason that we can continue to expand our business, is that our cash flows from operations continue to be strong
and are projected to be able to fund our continued growth. The operating cash flows of the business do not correlate with the net income of the business because of the above described revenue
recognition policy. Finally, the cost to deliver a typical $2500 advanced course (which is in deferred revenue) is about $600. Thus the future cost to deliver the deferred revenue is about 24% of the
revenue amount.

Although
we have not made any commitments for software or technology investments in 2004, we anticipate that we will invest significant resources in that area. We cannot say at this time
how much liquidity will be needed, as there are a variety of financing alternatives.

We
believe our cash resources are more than sufficient to fund our operation and growth plans for the next 12 months.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not have commodity price market risk. We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates which could
impact our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities.

Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk- We may face foreign currency exchange risk because of the growth of our United Kingdom and Canadian subsidiaries and our plans to expand
into other European markets. The fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. and foreign currencies will result in fluctuations in our annual and quarterly results. Management does not
expect that it will employ the use of foreign currency derivative financial instruments that would allow the reduction in our exposure to exchange rate movements.

Interest
Rate RiskFrom time to time we temporarily invest our excess cash and restricted cash in interest-bearing securities issued by high-quality issuers. Our
management monitors risk exposure to monies invested in securities of these financial institutions. Due to the sort time the investments are outstanding and their general liquidity, these instruments
are classified as cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet and do not represent a material interest rate risk to us. Our primary market risk exposure for changes in interest rates relates to
our long-term debt obligations. We manage our exposure to changing interest rates principally through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. In addition, certain of our
debt instruments have interest rate floors and ceilings.

We
evaluated the potential effect that near term changes in interest rates would have had on the fair value of its interest rate risk sensitive financial instruments at
December 31, 2004. Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the prime interest rate at December 31, 2004 the potential increase in the fair value of our debt obligations would have been
approximately $36,000 at December 31, 2004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Whitney Information Network and Subsidiaries
Cape Coral, Florida

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Whitney Information Network and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Whitney Information Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Whitney Information Network, Inc. and the following wholly owned subsidiary
corporations: Whitney Education Group, Inc.; Whitney Internet Services, Inc.; Russ Whitney's Wealth Education Centers, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary corporations, Russ
Whitney's Wealth Education Center of Jackson, MS, Inc. and Russ Whitney's Wealth Education Center of Atlanta, GA, Inc.; Whitney Consulting Services, Inc.; Whitney
Canada, Inc.; Whitney Mortgage.com, Inc.; Wealth Intelligence Network, Inc.; Precision Software Services, Inc.; Whitney U.K. Limited; and Coral Aviation, Inc. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its
positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions it invests with.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and short-term cash investments and
accounts receivable. We place temporary cash investments with what management believes are high-credit, quality financial institutions. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically
throughout the year, we have maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. We periodically perform credit analysis and monitor the financial condition of its
customers in order to minimize credit risk.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables from the sale of educational products and services for which a contract has been entered into, payments have not
been received, and the related revenue has been deferred. An adjustment is recorded to write off any amounts deemed to be unrealizable and uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of books, videos and training materials and is stated at the lower of cost or market, determined using the first-in,
first-out method (FIFO).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, deferred seminar expense,
accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred educational revenues, and notes payable approximated fair value as of December 31, 2004 because of the relatively short maturity of these
instruments. The fair value of long term notes payable approximates fair value based on current market rates available for similar debt instruments.

Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue and Deferred Expenses

We recognize revenue for the sale of products and software, upon delivery. Revenue from educational seminars is recognized upon the earlier of (1) when the
non-refundable deposit is received for the seminars and the seminar has taken place; or (2) upon the contractual expiration of our obligation to provide a seminar only if the
seminar was paid for. Deferred revenue is recorded when the seminar proceeds are received prior to the related seminar taking place. Expenses for commission payments made our speakers for revenues
generated are deferred until the related revenue is recognized.

We
recognize commission revenue related to sales made by Whitney Information Network and Subsidiaries for other parties. Only the commission part of these transactions is recognized. The
commissions are recorded as revenue when the amount is earned.

Advertising Expense and Prepaid Advertising

We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $48,558,399, $21,143,430, and $8,907,257 for the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Advertising paid for in advance is recorded as prepaid until such time as the advertisement is published. Advertising costs recorded as prepaid as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $1,542,637 and $1,335,098 respectively.

Deferred Offering Costs

During 2003, we were in the process of stock registration. Expenses related to this offering had been accounted for as deferred offering costs. If the offering
was successful, such costs would have been charged against the gross proceeds received. If at any time it became probable that the offering would not be consummated or after an unreasonable
postponement, such costs would be expensed. As of December 31, 2003, we have expensed $330,245, previously recorded as deferred offering costs. The registration was formally withdrawn in
January 2005.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for owned
assets. The estimated useful life of the buildings is 40 years. The furniture and fixtures' estimated useful life is seven years, the airplane, equipment and leasehold improvements is five
years, and the software is three years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include customer lists, trademarks, goodwill, intellectual property, and loan costs and are recorded at cost. Customer lists and trademarks are
being amortized over their estimated useful lives of three and fifteen years, respectively. Loan costs are amortized over the term of the loan. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. At
December 31, 2004, management performed impairment testing in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 and 144 (SFAS 142 and 144) for all intangible
assets and determined that impairment was not considered necessary.

Investments in Related Parties

We acquired a 20% ownership interest in Rancho Monterey, S.A., a Panama corporation, in 2001. This corporation was formed with the purpose of acquiring,
developing, and selling land on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. We are an investor in phase one of this project which includes approximately 830 acres and is projected to produce approximately
$3,000,000 in revenues. Prior to January 2004, this venture has incurred solely capitalized development costs and had not had any sales activity. We account for our investment using the equity
method of accounting and record its proportionate share of the corporation's profit or loss. In 2003, we acquired an additional 10% equity interest in the investment for $650,000 through the issuance
of debt. As part of this transaction, we also received a 8% interest in Monterey del Este, a Panama Corporation organized to develop unimproved real estate in Costa Rica; and a 20% interest in
Monterey del Mar, a Panama Corporation organized to develop an ocean front hotel on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The Company's share of the corporation's profits for the year ended
December 31, 2004 was $271,609. Our Chief Executive Officer individually indirectly owns 11% of Rancho Monterey, S.A. and 6% of Monterey del Este. Our Company's Executive Vice President
individually indirectly owns 1% of Rancho Monterey, S.A.

We
have, at times, advanced funds to this entity for working capital purposes to secure and protect its investment. As of December 31, 2004, we have recorded a $1,093,083
receivable relating to this venture in accounts receivable, affiliates. Our agreement with the management of this venture is that we will be reimbursed for these funds from future land sales.

In
2004, we acquired a 50% equity interest in Tranquility Bay of Southwest Florida LLL ("Tranquility"). Tranquility is the owner of approximately 74 acres of land in Lee County, Florida
for $3,548,000.

Investment in Building

We acquired a 50% equity interest in a SCB Building, LLC ("LLC") renovating an office building in Orlando, Florida. The other 50% member has a $2,000,000 minority
interest in the LLC, which was contributed in the form of a $4,000,000 building subject to a $2,000,000 mortgage. We are the guarantor of the debt of the LLC and the financial statements and results
from operations have been consolidated in these financial statements.

Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets under SFAS 144 for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the asset may not be recovered. We look primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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.

F-11

---



Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. The temporary differences result primarily from the recognition of deferred expenses for tax purposes. A
valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Translation of Foreign Currency

We account for foreign currency translation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. As such, the financial position and results of
operations of our foreign subsidiaries are measured using local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at average
exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Basic Loss Per Share

We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128). All dilutive potential common shares
in 2004 and 2003 had an antidilutive effect on diluted per share amounts and therefore were excluded in determining net loss per share.

Stock Options

We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's option plan been determined based on the fair value at the
grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) and basic income (loss) per common share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts
indicated below (in thousands, except for per share data):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS. 123(R)Share-Based Payment,which supersedes Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,and its related implementation guidance. Under SFAS No. 123(R)
all share-based payments would be treated as other forms of compensation by recognizing the costs, generally measured as the fair market value at the date of grant, in the income statement. The
Company will adopt, as required, SFAS No. 123(R) for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. Management expects that the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will be that
the share-based payment expense amounts historically disclosed as required by SFAS No.123 will now be recognized as an expense on the statement of operations.

Note 2Mergers, Acquisitions and Capital Accounts

Class A stock purchase warrants and 340,000 Class B stock purchase warrants. Both the Class A and Class B warrants were exercisable at $4.00 per share.

We
also instituted a stock option plan for key personnel. Under the plan, options are to be granted at the fair market value at the date of the grant and exercisable for a
ten-year period after the grant with a three-year vesting schedule. We have reserved 2,000,000 shares for the stock option plan of which 1,827,475 option shares have been
granted, net of forfeitures and
cancellations, at exercise prices from $1.75 to $4.50 per share. In 2004, options to purchase 15,325 shares were exercised.

On
February 1, 1999, we purchased all of the assets of Wealth Intelligence Network, Inc. for 20,000 shares of stock at $2.50 per share. In addition, we issued (during the
period from May to

F-13

---



August 1999)
7,975 shares to a financial public relations firm in lieu of cash for services valued at $14,500.

In
April 2000, we converted our 340,000 class B warrants issued to employees in August 1998 into stock options. In the conversion, we reduced the exercise price from
$4 to $2 (fair market value at date of conversion). This transaction has since been accounted for using variable accounting in accordance with FIN 44: Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 (FIN 44). At December 31, 2004, 133,500 of these options have been forfeited. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, nothing was
recorded as additional compensation expense to employees because the market price of the stock is $2, which is the exercise price.

In
November 2001, we issued 333,334 shares of common stock valued at $500,000 and $250,000 in notes payable for all of the outstanding stock of Precision Software
Services, Inc. which had a minimal net book value at the time of the acquisition. Precision Software Services, Inc. was 51% owned by our Chairman and majority stockholder who received
170,000 of the shares and $125,000 in notes payable. The excess of the purchase price over material, identifiable net assets relating to the minority interest was allocated to software rights. The
shares issued to the officer were recorded as a distribution as Precision Software Services, Inc. and we are under common control.

In
November 2001, we paid $212,500 for a 20% interest in a Panama corporation named Rancho Monterrey, S.A., which was formed in April 2001 to own, operate, improve and sell
certain real estate in Costa Rica. As part of the investment in Rancho Monterrey, S.A., we received a 12-acre parcel of land valued at $130,000, resulting in a net investment of $82,500

In
April 2002, we converted its 187,500 Class A warrants issued to outside investors and parties in August 1998 into stock options. In the conversion, we reduced the
exercise price from $4 to $2. This transaction does not require treatment under FIN 44.

In
August 2002, 189,655 shares valued at $550,000 of our common stock were issued in exchange for assets of a former joint venture partner, Teach Me To Trade, LLC. The purchase
price was $1,988,000, net of a $12,000 discount, and was paid for with $688,000 in cash, $550,000 in stock, and $750,000 in debt. During the first and second quarters of 2002, we had advanced $200,000
to Teach Me To Trade,
which was credited towards the purchase price. The purchase price was allocated $1,000,000 to software, $688,000 to customer lists and $300,000 to trademarks.

In
May 2003, we paid $450,000 under a six-month management agreement with Success Development, Inc. ("SDI"). Under the agreement, we acquired SDI's customer
database and operated is Cash Flow Generator brand. Under this agreement, we received 30% of SDI's profits. During this time period, we also made advances to SDI for working capital purposes. We
believe that this balance is collateralized by bank account maintained by SDI. In November 2003, we exercised its option to purchase Success Development, Inc. for 180,000 shares of
common stock, valued at $900,000. This resulted in a $550,000 trademark, $250,000 customer list and $100,000 non-compete.

In
July 2003, we purchased two related companies, Equity Corp. Holdings, Inc. and Whitney Leadership Group, Inc. The purchase price of Whitney
Leadership, Inc. was $1,200,000 paid to the Chairman and his wife, payable $300,000 in cash at closing and a $900,000 promissory note payable in semiannual installments beginning in
February 2004 bearing an interest rate of 7%. The payments and debt issued were recorded as a distribution as Whitney Leadership Group, Inc. and we were under common control. The
acquisition of Equity Corp. Holdings from our Vice President of Marketing

resulted
in $4,875,000 of intellectual property. The purchase price of $250,000, comprised of $62,500 in cash, 62,500 shares of our common stock valued at $125,000 at closing, and $62,500 payable one
year from the closing date evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 7% per annum. We also agreed to assume and pay a promissory note issued to our chairman by Equity Corp. on June 1,
2002 in the amount of $4,750,000 payable $1,000,000 in July 2003 and July 2004 and ten installments of $275,000 payable in January and July beginning in 2005 through 2009. The unpaid
balance bears interest at 7% per annum. Equity Corp. incurred this $4,750,000 obligation when it elected to redeem all of chairman's stock ownership in Equity Corp., which amounted to 90% of the
outstanding stock of Equity Corp., as of June 1, 2002.

In
October 2003, we acquired the stock of SpeakTec, Inc. for $1,550,000, which resulted in $1,000,000 in goodwill, $450,000 in customer lists and other intangibles and
$100,000 in current assets. SpeakTec, Inc. is the holding company for Quantum Vision, Inc., which is the operating company. Of this amount $550,000 is payable in cash, and $1,000,000 is
payable through 200,000 shares of our newly issued, restricted common stock. Fifty-thousand shares of the common stock will be retained by us for a period of six months.

On
June 22, 2004, we issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of our no par value Common Stock. The warrants will expire on June 22, 2008 and are exercisable at the
following prices: 100,000 shares at $5.25 per share; and 100,000 shares at $8.00 per share

In
September 2004, we entered into a six-month agreement with Discount Buyers Association of America ("DBAA") to assume operational control over it business and
post-secondary education products. Simultaneously, we were granted an option to purchase all of the assets of DBAA. We paid $500,000 to DBAA for control of the business operations. We have
allowed the option to expire and charged $500,000 to expense for the year ended December 31, 2004.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on
such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of December 31, 2003, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information
relating to our Company (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.

In
connection with the audit of the year ended December 31, 2004, there were no "Reportable Events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K. However, the Company's auditors communicated to the Registrant matters it considered to be material weaknesses in the Registrant's internal controls relating to the
turnover and adequacy of staffing of its accounting and finance department. The auditors considered the scope of responsibilities and duties of the acting Chief Financial
Officer/Vice-President of Finance to be somewhat overextended. The auditors communicated that additional resources were needed in the finance and accounting department to take the workload
off these individuals. In addition, the auditors also communicated to the Company that additional expertise was needed in those departments in the area of SEC reporting. This staffing situation
contributed to certain accounts not being reconciled on a timely basis, certain business transactions not documented in an appropriate manner and certain accounting records not properly maintained.
The Registrant is addressing this concern and is in the process of further enhancing its staff.

The
primary deficiency in account reconciliations related to the lack of timely reconciliation of various cash accounts, prepaid seminar expenses, inventory, fixed asset, accounts
payable, and inter-company accounts. The deficiencies in documentation related to an advance of $1,100,000 for the Companies
Costa Rican investment without supporting documentation related to repayment terms, advances totaling $630,000 made to Success Development, Inc. prior to the Company's acquisition, and tracking
of business vs. personal use of the company's airplane. The Company failed to maintain adequate maintenance of accounting records primarily related to accounting records that were destroyed when
hurricanes hit the company's corporate headquarters.

The
Company's accounting department has experienced significant turnover at various levels. This turnover and abilities of these personnel have contributed to the internal control issues
described above.

The
CEO and acting CFO have initiated corrective actions to address these internal control deficiencies, and will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis, taking corrective action as appropriate. The actions implemented include further formalization of policies and procedures and additional
monitoring controls. Should additional significant deficiencies in our internal controls be discovered in the future, a failure to remediate them or to implement required new or improved controls
could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in misstatements in our financial statements.

accounting standards and principles. The Audit Committee also selects and engages our independent auditors and approves their fees. In 2004, the Committee met three times. All members of the Audit

In May, 2003, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Whitney which provides for a salary of $400,000 per
year, together with bonuses to be granted by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, and customary employee benefits, including health insurance. Mr. Whitney's salary was
increased to $600, 000 for the year 2004. On October 12, 2004, Mr. Whitney voluntarily reduced his salary to help the company with cash flow. Bonuses granted by the Board of Directors to
Mr. Whitney are expected to be between 50% and 150% of his salary,
depending upon our level of profitability. In May, 2003, we also entered into three-year employment agreements with Messrs. Simon, Maturo, Miller and Kane, providing for initial
annual salaries of $180,000, $180,000, $120,000 and $120,000, respectively, which were amended by the Compensation Committee for 2004 to be $250,000, $250,000, $175,000 and $200,000. These individuals
also voluntarily reduced their salaries.

We
intend to institute a cash bonus plan which will be administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Under the bonus plan, employees, including all of our
executive officers, except our Chief Executive Officer, may receive cash bonuses of up to 50% of their salaries based upon a number of factors, including the meeting or exceeding of internally
prepared budgets and forecasts, along with a number of subjective criteria.

We
have not adopted any retirement, pension or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers or directors although we adopted our 1998 Stock Option Plan for the benefit of our
officers, directors, employees and consultants. We also offer our employees a 401(k) plan. Our contributions, charged to operations, for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, were
$140,329, $42,627, and $0, respectively.

Compensation of Directors

Independent directors receive $10,000 per year for serving as members of the Board of Directors. Expenses incurred by our directors in attending Board meetings
are reimbursed, and independent directors each receive 5,000 stock options under our 1998 Stock Option Plan upon joining our Board of Directors.

1998 Stock Option Plan

In 1998 we adopted a stock option plan which provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" or "nonqualified stock options"
within the meaning of Section 422 of the

28

---



United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Incentive stock options are issuable only to employees.

The
purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentives to our employees and to promote the success of our business.

We
have reserved 2,187,500 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, which is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. Under the Plan, the
compensation committee determines which individuals will receive options, the time period during which the options may be partially or fully exercised, the number of shares of common stock that may be
purchased under each option and the option price. As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase 1,827,475 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.75 per share to $4.50 per
share were outstanding under the Plan, and 360,025 shares remained available for future option grants. Of these options, 1,028,800 have been issued to executive officers and directors at exercise
prices ranging from $1.81 per share to $4.50 per share.

The
per share exercise price of the common stock subject to options must not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. In the case of
incentive stock options, the aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date the option is granted, of the common stock that any person may purchase in any calendar year pursuant to the
exercise of incentive stock options must not exceed $100,000. No person who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time of the granting of an incentive stock option, more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of our stock is eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to
the option on the date of grant. The stock options are subject to anti-dilution provisions in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and the like.

No
incentive stock options are transferable by an optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an optionee, the option is only
exercisable by the optionee. The exercise date of an option granted under the Plan must not be later than ten years from the date of grant. Any options that expire unexercised or that terminate upon
an optionee's ceasing to be employed by us will become available once again for issuance. Shares issued upon exercise of an option rank equally with other shares then outstanding. No options have been
exercised under the Plan.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In 2003 we leased 2,242 square feet of office space at 4818 Coronado Parkway, Cape Coral, Florida 33904 from Russell A. Whitney, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, on a monthly basis without a written lease for $2,242 per month. We elected to lease the property on a monthly basis without a written lease as we were uncertain of whether we would continue
to use this space, considering we recently purchased our own office building in Cape Coral and may move into additional space in that building when current leases to non-affiliates expire.
In 2004 we vacated this space. We lease 2,200 square feet of training facilities at 1611 E. Cape Coral Parkway, 9,000 square feet of space at 1625 E. Cape Coral Parkway which is used for shipping, and
5,000 square feet at 1630 SE 47th Terrace which we use as a Training Center and for storage, all in Cape Coral Florida from Cape Promenade Trust which is for the benefit of Russell A.
Whitney, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his wife Ingrid. The leases are for three years and began on March 1, 2003, March 1, 2003 and June 1, 2004, respectively. The
monthly rentals are $1,943, $7,950, and $7,238 respectively. The terms of the leases are no less favorable than those which we could obtain from an independent third party.

We
provided payroll services to Whitney Leadership Group, Inc., a company previously owned and managerially and operationally controlled by Mr. Whitney which we acquired in
July 2003.Whitney

Leadership
owns the rights to our television real estate infomercials which we use to attract students to our free informational training sessions, a number of our educational books and tapes and one
of our course offerings, for which we paid Whitney Leadership $1.00 for each person who registers for our free informational training sessions.

MRS
Equity Corp. provided software products and services to us which we market that allows mortgagees to pay their mortgages every two weeks rather than monthly, thereby reducing
mortgage payments over the life of the mortgage and increasing principal reductions. We provided MRS with payroll services. MRS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equity Corp. Holdings, Inc.,
which was previously owned and managerially and operationally controlled by John F. Kane, our Vice President of Marketing and which we acquired in July 2003.

The
dollar amount of products we purchased from MRS is (in thousands):

In
September 2001, we purchased for $212,500 a 20% interest in Rancho Monterey, S.A., a Panama company organized in May 2001 to develop unimproved real estate in Costa
Rica. Prior to our investment, Rancho Monterey was owned by four persons, comprised of three nonaffiliated persons and Mr. Whitney, each of whom owned 25% of Rancho Monterey. We paid the same
price for our interest in Rancho Monterey as the other four persons paid. In the summer of 2003, we acquired an additional 10% interest in Rancho Monterey, thus increasing our holdings to 30% of
Rancho Monterey through the issuance of $650,000 indebt. We also own 6% of Monterey del Este (a Panama Company organized to develop unimproved real estate in Costa Rica) and a 20% interest in Monterey
del Mar (a Panama Company organized to develop an ocean-front boutique hotel on the pacific Coast Rica). Mr. Whitney
also indirectly owns 11.4% of Rancho Monterey and 6% of Monterey del Este. Ronald Simon, Executive Vice President, indirectly owns 1.4% of Rancho Monterey.

In
July 2003, we acquired from John F. Kane, our Vice President of Marketing, all of the outstanding shares of Equity Corp. Holdings, Inc., which owns MRS Equity Corp., for
a purchase price of $250,000, comprised of $62,500 in cash, 62,500 shares of our common stock valued at $125,000 at closing and $62,500 payable one year from the closing date evidenced by a promissory
note bearing interest at 7% per annum. We also agreed to assume and pay a promissory note issued to Mr. Whitney by Equity Corp. on June 1, 2002 in the amount of $4,750,000 payable
$1,000,000 in July 2003 and July 2004 and ten installments of $275,000 payable in January and July beginning in 2005 through 2009. The unpaid balance bears interest at 7% per annum.
Equity Corp. incurred this $4,750,000 obligation when it elected to redeem all of Mr. Whitney's stock ownership in Equity Corp., which amounted to 90% of the outstanding stock of Equity Corp.,
as of June 1, 2002.

In
July 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Whitney Leadership Group, Inc. from Mr. Whitney and his wife, for a purchase price of $1,200,000,
which was paid $300,000 at closing

---



and
$300,000 payable in each of the following three years. The outstanding balance is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 7% per annum.

From
1999 to 2004 we granted 120,000 stock options to Mr. Whitney's wife and two children, all of whom are employees of our company. Mr. Whitney's wife has been an employee
since 1992, his daughter has been an employee since 1995 and his son has been an employee since 2000. We also granted 25,600 stock options to the wife of Mr. Brevoort, a former executive
officer. Mrs. Brevoort has been an employee since 1992. All were granted stock options under our employee stock option plan.

Historically,
our Board of Directors has been composed solely of Messrs. Whitney and Simon who are responsible for setting the compensation of all of our executive officers,
including Messrs. Whitney and Simon. These two individuals also approved the above described related party transactions with Whitney Leadership and Equity Corp. Holdings prior to our
appointment of our three independent directors. However pursuant to the acquisition agreements, we obtained independent fairness opinions for these acquisitions.

From
time to time, Mr. Whitney benefits from our students' purchase of residential lots and the construction of homes on lots they acquire in the Cape Coral, Florida area. Lots
purchased by students may be sold to them by Mr. Whitney or other lot owners. The purchase price of lots sold by Mr. Whitney is consistent with lot prices sold by others in the Cape
Coral area. Mr. Whitney receives a salary from Gulfstream Development Corp. Mr. Whitney owns 25% of the stock of Gulf Stream. Mr. Whitney personally benefits from these
transactions. We receive $1,000 for every Gulfstream home sold. This amounted to $282,000 in 2004. As we are not in the business of selling land and constructing
homes, Mr. Whitney is not prevented from revenue opportunities with his personal activities. We have elected not to enter into the business of selling lots to students or building homes for
them, as we do not believe the returns in doing so would match our returns in the post-secondary education business. Our decision not to enter either of these businesses was unanimously
ratified by a vote of our independent directors.

In
our view, the terms of the transactions described above are no less favorable than could have been obtained from independent third parties. Further, all ongoing and future affiliated
transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties, and all ongoing and future affiliated
transactions and any forgiveness of loans will be approved by a majority of the independent and disinterested members of our Board of Directors.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman, P.C., Denver, Colorado ("EKS&H"), conducted the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2004. It is our understanding that this firm is obligated to maintain audit independence as prescribed by the accounting profession and certain requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As a result, our directors do specifically approve, in advance, nonaudit services provided by EKS&H, and it considers the effect, if any, of such services on audit independence.

EKS&H's
audit fees billed to us during 2004 were approximately $170,000 Audit related fees billed to us during 2004 were approximately $27,000 for the audit of the Company's 401(k) plan
and tax fees billed to us during 2004 for tax services were approximately $63,000. We have concluded that the provision of services by EKS&H is compatible with maintaining its independence.
