Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Rand Worldwide, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable preferred stock and shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rand Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2010, October 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the eight months ended June 30, 2010 and the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.		Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

		Nature of the Business
		Rand Worldwide, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is a leading provider of design automation solutions to various manufacturing and engineering industries. The Company also specializes in providing value-added services, such as technical support, training, and consulting aimed at improving the design efficiencies of its customers. These solutions and services enable the Company’s customers to enhance their productivity, profitability and overall competitive position.

		The Company is organized into two divisions: the IMAGINiT division (“IMAGINiT”) and the Rand Professional Services division (“RPS”). The IMAGINiT division is the largest licensed value-added reseller of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk”) products in North America, providing Autodesk solutions and value-added services to customers in the manufacturing, infrastructure, building, and media and entertainment industries. RPS is a reseller of product lifecycle management (“PLM”) products and a provider of services related to solutions sold by Dassault Systèmes S.A. (“Dassault”), Autonomy PLC. (“Autonomy”) and other software vendors. RPS also sells its own proprietary software products and related services, enhancing its total client solution offerings.

		Formation of Rand Worldwide, Inc.
		The Company, a corporation registered in the state of Delaware, was formed in August 2007 and was later capitalized on October 31, 2007 and November 1, 2007 with an aggregate investment of $44.5 million by certain limited partnerships of a domestic private investment firm (collectively the “Stockholder”) in exchange for preferred stock with a purchase price of $31.0 million less cost of issuance of $187,000 and notes with a $13.5 million principal amount (Notes 10 and 13). Immediately thereafter, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Rand A Technology Corporation, a publicly traded Canadian corporation, for $44.5 million (Note 3). That business combination created a new basis of accounting for Rand A Technology, which has been reflected as of November 1, 2007 in these consolidated financial statements.

		Recapitalization and Merger
		On August 17, 2010, the Company was acquired by Avatech Solutions, Inc. (“Avatech”) in a reverse merger transaction (the “Merger”).

		Immediately prior to the Merger, the Company was recapitalized. The holders of the common stock, redeemable preferred stock and term notes of the Company exchanged their respective securities for a commensurate number of membership interests in RWWI Holdings LLC (“RWWI”), formerly a subsidiary of the Company. Simultaneously, the Company merged with a subsidiary of RWWI, with the Company being the surviving entity and RWWI being the sole stockholder of the Company. Immediately following, RWWI caused the Company to merge with a subsidiary of Avatech with the Company again being the surviving entity as a subsidiary of Avatech.

		In consideration for the Merger, RWWI received shares of Avatech common stock representing approximately 66.1% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock and Avatech’s stockholders retained approximately 33.9% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock. When calculated based on the number of shares of Avatech common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, the common stock issued to RWWI is equal to approximately 59.3% of the total common equivalent shares as of the date of the Merger. As RWWI acquired more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Avatech common stock, RWWI was deemed, for accounting and SEC reporting purposes to be the continuing reporting entity. As such, the historical financial results of the merged entity will reflect those of RWWI, which are, in substance, those of the Company.

F-6

Rand Worldwide, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		As a result of all such transactions: the Company’s common stock, its redeemable preferred stock and its term notes are no longer outstanding. The Company has no remaining financial obligations pursuant to these items, including the cumulative dividends related to its formerly outstanding redeemable preferred stock and the unpaid interest related to its formerly outstanding term notes. The operations of the Company continue as a subsidiary of Avatech and RWWI is a controlling shareholder of Avatech but not part of the ongoing Avatech consolidated reporting entity.

		Basis of Presentation
		Effective with the Merger, the Company elected to change its fiscal year end from October 31 to June 30. References to 2008 and 2009 mean the twelve month periods ended October 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. References to 2010 mean the eight-month period ended June 30, 2010.

		On February 12, 2008, the Company affected a 10,000-for-1 stock split of its shares of common stock. All references in these consolidated financial statements to shares of common stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split.

		The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s long-term viability is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient product revenue, net income and cash flows from operations to support its business as well as its ability to obtain additional financing, if needed. The Company has a working capital deficit as of June 30, 2010 and, for its liquidity, relies on a bank revolving credit facility that expires on August 13, 2012 (Note 11). As of September 30, 2010, borrowings against the facility were $3.2 million, with permitted additional borrowings of $2.6 million. In conjunction with its merger with Avatech, the Company is negotiating a revised credit facility with the same bank. Management believes that the Company’s existing cash together with cash generated from future operations and borrowings available under the current or revised revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least June 30, 2011.

		Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2.		Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

		Principles of Consolidation
		The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including those in Canada, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

		Discontinued Operations
		During 2008 and 2009, the Company restructured certain of its operations, which included the sale or closure of several subsidiaries. The Company determined these disposed subsidiaries to be discontinued operations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. In accordance with ASC No. 360-10, the Company has determined that its subsidiaries are the lowest level for which the results of operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. Any gain or loss resulting from disposal of a subsidiary, together with the results of its operations up to the date of disposal, is reported separately as a discontinued operation. The financial information of a discontinued operation is excluded from the respective captions in the consolidated financial statements and related notes and is reported separately.

F-7

Rand Worldwide, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		Use of Estimates
		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, the valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, the useful lives and realizability of intangible assets and goodwill, contingencies, the fair value of share-based compensation and income taxes. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.

		Revenue Recognition
		The Company generates revenue from three principal sources: (i) license fees for packaged software products; (ii) service fees from installation, training and consulting engagements, telephone support contracts, and maintenance and support contracts; and (iii) commission fees from the resale of Autodesk software support agreements and from the referral of customers to Autodesk.

		Product Sales

		For revenue derived from license fees for packaged software products, the Company follows ASC 985-605 Software-Revenue Recognition and ASC 605-10 Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses and training materials upon shipment of the products, provided that evidence of the arrangement exists, the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is probable and free of contingencies.

		Service Revenue

		Revenue from installation, training and consulting services is recognized upon completion of the requested service, which typically occurs within ninety days of receipt of an order. Revenue from telephone support contracts and maintenance and support contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period, which is typically twelve months. Maintenance and support services typically include only telephone and internet-based support, but in limited circumstances include software updates, when and if available, provided by the vendor of the software. Installation and consulting services provided by the Company are not considered essential to the functionality of any software products sold as those services do not alter the functionality or capabilities of the product and could be performed by customers or other vendors.

F-8

Rand Worldwide, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		Commission Revenue

		Fees earned from the resale of Autodesk’s software support agreements are reported as commission revenue and presented net of their related costs. For these transactions, the Company considers Autodesk to be the primary obligor in the arrangement as Autodesk has the responsibility of providing the end-customer all the deliverables under the contract, including software upgrades and various support services. As a result, the Company assumes an agency relationship in these transactions, and recognizes the net fee associated with serving as an agent in revenue.

		Commissions revenue also includes referral fees paid by Autodesk for certain types of customer transactions, determined based on specified percentages of the amount billed by Autodesk to the referred customer. These referral fees are recorded as revenue in the period earned, based on reporting by Autodesk.

		Multiple-Element Arrangements

		The Company’s arrangements with its customers typically involve the sale of one or more products and services at the same time. The Company considers these to be multiple elements of a single arrangement. The Company uses the residual method to recognize revenues from such arrangements with one or more elements that are to be delivered at a future date, provided that evidence of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements, such as installation and software support services, is deferred at date of product shipment and the remaining portion of the total arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. The Company determines vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of undelivered services based on the prices that are charged when the same element is sold separately to customers. If the fair value of each undelivered element in a multiple-element arrangement cannot be determined based on VSOE, all revenue under the arrangement is deferred until those undelivered elements are later delivered or until such time as the only remaining undelivered element is software support, at which time total revenue is recognized ratably over the remaining software support period.

		Fixed or Determinable Fee

		Management assesses whether the total fee payable to the Company for the order is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies at the time of delivery. Management considers the payment terms of the transaction, including whether the terms are extended, and its collection experience in similar transactions that did not require concessions, among other factors. If the total consideration payable to the Company is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized only as payments become due from the customer, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

		Customer Acceptance Criteria

		If an arrangement includes customer acceptance criteria, the Company defers all revenue from the arrangement until acceptance is received or the acceptance period has lapsed, unless those acceptance criteria only require that the product perform in accordance with the software vendor’s standard published product specifications. If a customer’s obligation to pay the Company is contingent upon a future event, such as installation or acceptance, the Company defers all revenue from the arrangement until that event has occurred.

		Deferred Revenue

		Deferred product revenue is comprised of amounts that have been invoiced to customers upon delivery of a product, but are not yet recognizable as revenue because one or more of the conditions required for revenue recognition have not yet been met. Deferred service revenue represents amounts invoiced to customers for telephone support contracts or maintenance and support contracts, which are recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the arrangements, or for installation or training services that have not yet been provided.

		Product Returns

		The Company’s arrangements with customers do not contain any rights of product return, other than those related to standard warranty provisions that permit replacement of defective goods. As of October 31, 2008 and 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company had no reserve recorded for product returns because such returns have been insignificant.

		Shipping and Handling Fees

		The Company records as revenue any amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs and records as cost of revenue its actual shipping costs incurred.

		Cost of Revenue

		Cost of product revenue consists of the cost of purchasing products from software suppliers as well as any associated shipping and handling costs. Cost of service revenue includes the direct costs and personnel costs associated with the implementation of software solutions as well as training, support services, and consulting services provided to customers. These costs include employee compensation, travel, printed materials, and the costs of third-party contractors engaged by the Company.

		Earnings Per Common Share
		Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and, when dilutive, all potential common equivalent shares outstanding including options and unvested restricted stock. The dilutive effect of options and unvested restricted stock to purchase common stock is determined under the treasury stock method using the average fair value of common stock for the period.

		Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
		The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, if any, which approximates their fair value. At October 31, 2008 and 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company’s holdings of cash equivalents were not material. In addition, as of that date, the Company had no amounts classified as short-term or long-term investments.

		Concentrations of Credit Risk
		Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company provides credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers for potential credit losses, and management believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect industry practices and business risk. The Company does not invest any of its excess cash. Accordingly, the Company believes that its financial instruments are not subject to any material credit or market risk.

		Fair Value of Financial Instruments
		The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable,

F-10

		and accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. In addition, the carrying value of the Company’s related-party notes approximates their fair values because borrowing costs currently available to the Company approximate those reflected in the related-party debt.

		Inventory
		Inventory consists of packaged computer software and is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method, and market value represents the lower of replacement cost or estimated net realizable value

		Property and Equipment
		Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

		Business Combinations
		The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as to in-process research and development based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at acquisition date with respect to intangible assets, software support obligations assumed, estimated restructuring liabilities and pre-acquisition contingencies.

		Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates that have been made in the past are reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Examples of critical estimates used in valuing certain of the intangible assets the Company has acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to (i) future expected cash flows from software license sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts and acquired developed technology; (ii) expected costs to develop in-process research and development projects into commercially viable products and the estimated cash flows from the projects; (iii) the acquired company’s brand and competitive position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; and (iv) discount rates used to determine the present value of expected future cash flows. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

		In connection with the purchase price allocations for the Company’s acquisitions, management estimates the fair market value of legal performance commitments to customers, which are classified as deferred revenue.

		For a given acquisition, the Company may identify certain pre-acquisition contingencies. If, during the purchase price allocation period, the Company is able to determine the fair value of a pre-acquisition contingency, this amount will be included in the purchase price allocation. If, as of the end of the purchase price allocation period, the Company is unable to determine the fair value of a pre-acquisition contingency, evaluation will be made whether to include an amount in the purchase price allocation based on whether it is probable that a liability had been incurred and whether an amount can be reasonably estimated. After the end of the purchase price allocation period, any adjustment to amounts recorded for a pre-acquisition contingency will be included in the Company’s operating results in the period in which the adjustment is determined.

		Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
		The Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC No. 350-30, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (ASC No. 350-30). Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually as of October 31, on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. Such events or conditions could include an economic downturn in the industries to which the Company provides products and services; increased competition; an increase in operating or other costs; or the pace of technological improvements. When the Company determines that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based upon one or more of these indicators of impairment, the Company initially assesses any impairment using fair value measurements based on projected discounted cash flow valuation models. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded in an amount equal to that excess.

		Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. In accordance with ASC No. 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Factors that could lead to an impairment of acquired customer relationships include a worsening in customer attrition rates compared to historical attrition rates, or lower than initially anticipated cash flows associated with customer relationships. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow estimates used to determine the impairment, if any, contain management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at that time.

		Research and Development and Software Development Costs
		Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred, except for certain software development costs. Costs associated with the development of computer software to be licensed to customers are expensed prior to establishment of technological feasibility and are capitalized thereafter until the product is available for general release to customers. No software development costs have been capitalized to date since costs incurred between the establishment of technological feasibility and the available-for-sale date of the software have been immaterial.

		Accounting for Share-Based Compensation
		The Company applies ASC No. 718-10, Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to measure the cost of share-based awards to employees based on the grant-date fair value of the award using an option pricing model, and to recognize that cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted to employees and recognizes the compensation cost of employee share-based awards in its statement of operations using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures.

		The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards requires that the Company make certain assumptions and estimates for required inputs to the model, including (i) the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date, (ii) the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock value based on industry comparisons, (iii) the expected life of the share-based award, (iv) the risk-free interest rate, and (v) the dividend yield, which were considered as follows:

		Common Stock Fair Value

		As there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock historically, the fair value of the Company’s common stock for 2008 and 2009 and the eight-month period ended June 30, 2010 was estimated by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including peer-group company trading multiples, the amount of preferred stock liquidation preference, the illiquid nature of common stock, the size of the Company and the Company’s lack of historical profitability. At the midpoint of the 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, independent valuations were obtained to provide additional support for estimates of the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Under the probability-weighted expected return method used in that valuation, the fair market value of common stock was estimated based upon an analysis of the future values for the Company, assuming various outcomes. The share value was based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes available to the Company as well as the rights of each share class. The possible outcomes considered were a sale of the Company, an initial public offering of the Company’s stock, dissolution, and continued operation as a private company. The resulting values represent the Company’s estimate of fair market value of common stock at that date, which is then reconsidered at each valuation date.

		Share Price Volatility

		The Company determined the share price volatility for stock options granted in 2008, 2009 and 2010 based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of companies that granted options with substantially similar terms. The expected volatility of options granted was determined using an average of the historical volatility measures of this peer group of companies for a period equal to the expected life of each option.

		Expected Life of Options, Risk-Free Interest Rate and Dividend Yield

		The Company determined the expected life of options based on the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding until a future liquidity event, such as a sale of the Company or an initial public offering of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the daily treasury yield curve rate whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero.

		Non-employee Stock-Based Awards For stock options granted to non-employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense in accordance ASC No. 718-10, Stock Compensation and ASC No. 505-50, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services, which require each such equity award to be recorded at its fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying stock options vest. The Company records compensation expense related to these nonemployee share-based awards in accordance with the expense attribution model as prescribed in ASC No. 718-10.

		Redeemable Preferred Stock The Company accounts for the difference between the initial carrying value of redeemable preferred stock and the redemption amount payable on that stock through recognition of accretion adjustments (including stated unpaid cumulative dividends) over the period from date of issue to the first redemption date, such that the carrying amount of the preferred stock will equal the redemption amount at the redemption date. These increases in carrying value were recorded initially through charges against additional paid-in capital and then to accumulated deficit if the balance of additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero. As the Company’s Series A preferred stock was mandatorily redeemable upon request of the holders of at least a majority of such stock, the carrying value of the Series A preferred stock equals its redemption amount at each balance sheet date (Note 13).

		As a result of the Merger, the Company’s redeemable preferred stock is no longer outstanding and the Company has no remaining financial obligations relative to the redeemable preferred stock or its related formerly accruing dividends.

		Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of promotional expenditures. Advertising costs incurred in 2008, 2009 and the eight-month period ending June 30, 2010 were immaterial.

		Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is comprised of two components: net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. In 2008, 2009 and the eight-month period ending June 30, 2010, unrealized currency translation gains of $126,000, $509,000 and $139,000 respectively, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholder’s deficit.

		Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets is recorded if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10 Income Taxes (FIN 48).

		Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are the respective local currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included as a separate component of shareholders’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheets within accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities stated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the Company’s results of operations.

		In addition, in 2008, 2009 and 2010, realized currency transaction gains from continuing operations of $227,000 and $40,000, as well as realized currency transaction loss of $51,000, respectively, were recorded in the statement of operations and realized currency translation gains from discontinued operations of $1.4 million, $6,000 and $0 respectively, were recorded in the statement of operations within gain (loss) on sale or disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax.

		Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in companies in which it owns 50% or less and over which it exercises significant influence. Under this method, the Company includes in net earnings its proportional share of the net earnings or losses of these associated companies, net of any cash distributions or dividends. When net losses from an equity-method investment exceed the carrying value recorded by the Company, the investment balance is maintained at zero and additional losses are not recognized, as the Company is not committed to provide financial support to the investee. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method when the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company’s share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during that period that the equity-method loss recognition had been suspended.

		Investments in Majority-Owned Entities In 2008 and for a portion of 2009, the Company held a 60% ownership interest in Sigmetrix L.L.C. (“Sigmetrix”) and an 80% ownership interest in Rand Technologies Singapore PTE Ltd (“Rand Singapore”). The Company consolidated these entities in its financial statements as if it owned 100% of each entity, and did not present minority-interest amounts in its statement of operations and its balance sheet, because these entities were in a net shareholder deficit position and because the minority interest holders were not required to fund the net losses of these entities.

		On July 1, 2009, the Company sold its 60% ownership interest in Sigmetrix, to Cybernet Systems Holdings U.S. Inc. (“Cybernet”) for cash consideration of $122,000 and repayment of intercompany accounts payable of $3.1 million. On September 11, 2009, the Company completed the sale of its 80% ownership interest in Rand Singapore to an individual for cash consideration of one Singapore dollar (Note 17).

		Leases Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases in which the Company has substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified as capital leases. Capital leases are recorded at commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Property and equipment acquired under capital leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the assets and the lease term.

		In January 2010, the Company signed a new lease for its head office space for a term of sixty five months, commencing in May 2010, with an annual base rent ranging between $192,000 and $248,000. The lease contains a renewal option for an additional five-year term. The Company does not expect to incur additional obligations as a result of entering into a new lease. The security deposit of $175,000 reduces the amount of the borrowing available to the Company on its revolving line of credit.

		As a result of the signed lease, the landlord has made certain leasehold improvements in May 2010 that approximated $175,000. The Company has adopted a policy of recording these incentives as leasehold improvements and amortizing them over the course of the lease

		Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance related to subsequent events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance is set forth in Topic 855 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 855). ASC 855 provides guidance on the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial

		statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued.

		In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”). The Codification became the single source for all authoritative generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, recognized by the FASB and is required to be applied to financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification does not change GAAP and did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

		In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition of multiple element arrangements as well as certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The new guidance states that if vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The accounting guidance will be applied prospectively and will become effective during the 2011 fiscal year. Early adoption is allowed. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial statements.

		In January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosure requirements. This guidance clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after October 31, 2010. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial statements.

		On November 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 740-10 Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. At the adoption date for the Company, there were no gross unrecognized tax affected amounts, and there was no impact on the Company as a result of adopting ASC 740-10. We had no adjustments to retained earnings at the adoption of ASC 740-10. The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense recorded in the accompanying financial statements. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next twelve months.

Acquisition of Rand A Technology Corporation

		On November 1, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Rand A Technology Corporation (“RATC”) to serve as its primary business. RATC was acquired for cash of $44.5 million plus related transaction costs incurred by the Company of $805,000. No stock options of the Company were issued in connection with the acquisition. The results of operations of the acquired business have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since the date of acquisition.

		The purchase price allocation for the acquisition of RATC was based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of November 1, 2007, summarized as follows (in thousands):


Total purchase consideration:
Cash paid	$	44,509
Transaction costs		805

Total purchase consideration	$	45,314


Allocation of the purchase consideration:
Assets:
Cash	$	5,967
Accounts receivable		14,408

Property and equipment		2,440
Equity-method investments		201
Deferred tax assets		26,976
Valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets		(19,386	)
Acquired intangible assets		20,424
Goodwill		16,639

Total assets acquired		73,101


Liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		16,062
Deferred revenue		2,066
Customer advance payments		323
Income taxes payable		568
Other current liabilities		844
Deferred tax liability related to nondeductible acquired intangible assets		7,590
Due to related parties		334

Total liabilities assumed		27,787

Total purchase consideration	$	45,314

Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships, with a value of $17.6 million; trademarks and trade names, with a value of $1.5 million; and intellectual property related to the training business, with a value of $1.3 million. Customer relationship intangibles represent the underlying relationships and agreements with RATC’s customers. Of the amount recorded for customer relationships, $14.7 million related to the Company’s IMAGINiT reporting unit and $2.9 million related to the Company’s RPS reporting unit. Of the amount recorded for trademarks and trade names, $1.2 million related to the IMAGINiT

		reporting unit and $300,000 related to the RPS reporting unit. Of the amount recorded for intellectual property, $662,000 related to the IMAGINiT reporting unit and $662,000 related to the RPS segment.

		Deferred revenue recorded in the acquisition reflects an amount equivalent to the estimated cost plus a reasonable profit margin to fulfill the remaining service obligations of RATC’s software support agreements.

		In the acquisition, the Company acquired approximately $27.0 million of net deferred tax assets of RATC, which consisted primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. However, the Company recorded such assets with a full valuation allowance due to the significant uncertainty about whether those deferred tax assets will be realized, particularly due to the Company’s history of losses and limitations that will be imposed on the amount of net operating losses which may be used annually to offset any taxable income the Company may generate in the future. If and when such acquired deferred tax assets are realized, the release of the associated valuation allowance will be recorded as a tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations, pursuant to new business combination rules effective for the Company as of November 1, 2009. None of the intangible assets acquired in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, the Company recorded in the purchase accounting a deferred tax liability of $7.6 million, equal to the tax effect of the amount of the acquired intangible assets other than goodwill. As a result of recording that deferred tax liability, the Company also reduced the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets by a corresponding amount. In addition, $14.0 million of the goodwill amount is not deductible for income tax purposes.

		This transaction resulted in $16.6 million of purchase price that exceeded the estimated fair values of tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, which was allocated to goodwill. The Company attributes the high amount of goodwill relative to identifiable tangible and intangible assets to its assertion that the implementation of a revised corporate strategy for RATC would be more profitable over the longer-term life of the business than was the strategy that had been employed prior to the acquisition. Of the amount recorded for goodwill in the acquisition, $12.3 million was assigned to the Company’s IMAGINiT reporting unit and $4.4 million was assigned to the Company’s RPS reporting unit. In 2008, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $9.2 million, including the full impairment of goodwill of the Company’s RPS reporting unit (refer to Note 5).

Acquired Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets result from the Company’s acquisition of RATC on November 1, 2007 (Note 3). Customer relationship intangible assets, which represent the underlying relationships and agreements with RATC’s customers, are amortized based upon patterns in which their economic benefits are expected to be realized and over a weighted-average expected life of eight years. Other finite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, including trademarks and trade names, which are being amortized over a weighted-average useful life of ten years, and intellectual property related to the training business, which is being amortized over a useful life of three years. The following is a summary of intangible assets acquired, amortization expense and asset impairment charges recorded and the resulting carrying values of the acquired intangible assets (in thousands):

		Amortization expense of intellectual property, totaling $441,000 for each of 2008 and 2009 and $293,000 for the eight months ended June 30, 2010, is included as a component of cost of service revenue in the consolidated statement of operations. Amortization expense for all other acquired intangible assets is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

		The Company experienced a significant decline in demand for its products and services during the second half of 2008 and concluded that the decline was not anticipated to recover in the short term. As a result, the Company determined that such decline was an indication that the carrying value of its long-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable and, accordingly, conducted recoverability tests in accordance with ASC No. 360-10. The Company performed its assessment at the asset group level, which represented the lowest level of cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In performing the assessment, when it was determined that the undiscounted cash flows were lower than the carrying value of any asset group, the Company compared the fair value of each long-lived asset to its carrying value.

		As a result of performing those tests as of October 31, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge totaling $11.9 million in 2008, which reduced the carrying value of intangible assets to $3.2 million, as indicated in the table above. The Company also reassessed the amortization method and remaining amortization period for the assets, and determined that the method utilized was appropriately matching the expected economic benefit of use of the customer relationship asset, and that the overall expected life of the asset was still appropriate.

		In the original purchase accounting, total acquired intangible assets recorded for the Company’s IMAGINiT reporting unit were $16.6 million and for the RPS reporting unit were $3.9 million. After the impairment charges and regular amortization expense recorded in 2008, the book value of acquired intangible assets of the IMAGINiT reporting unit were reduced to $2.3 million and the acquired intangible assets of the RPS reporting unit were reduced to $900,000.

Goodwill

		The Company typically performs an annual impairment test of its goodwill on October 31 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. ASC No. 350-30 requires that the impairment test be performed through the application of a two-step process. The first step compares the carrying value of the Company’s reporting units to their estimated fair values as of the test date. If fair value is less than carrying value, a second step is performed to quantify the amount of the impairment, if any.

		The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30, 2010, using the two-step process required by ASC No. 350-30. The Company estimates the fair value of its two reporting units, IMAGINiT and RPS, using an income approach, which estimates fair value of each reporting unit based upon future cash flows discounted to their present value. If step one of this assessment results in the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeding its fair value, accordingly, the Company performs the second step to determine the implied fair value of goodwill by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the aggregate fair value of all the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. In step two of the impairment analysis, the Company compared the implied fair value of goodwill in the reporting unit to its carrying value.

		As a result of performing those tests as of June 30, 2010 and October 31, 2009, there was no impairment. As a result of performing those tests as of October 31, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9.2 million, including the full write-down of goodwill of the Company’s RPS reporting unit. Assessing the impairment of goodwill requires the Company to make certain significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, including future revenue, expenses, cash flows and discount rates. The actual results may differ from these assumptions and estimates and it is possible that such differences could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company based the valuations of its reporting units, in part, on its actual historical performance and its estimate of the future performance of the reporting units. The Company attributes the goodwill impairment that resulted from its assessment in 2008 to the significant decline in demand for its products and services experienced during the second half of 2008, which was not anticipated to recover in the short term.

8.		Restructuring Charges

		The Company accounts for charges resulting from operational restructuring actions in accordance with ASC No. 420-10, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting reporting associated with certain exit or disposal activities. Under ASC No. 420-10, costs associated with certain exit or disposal activities are recognized and measured at their fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The determination of restructuring charges requires management’s judgment and may include such costs and charges as those related to employee severance, termination benefits, the write-off of assets, professional service fees and costs for future lease commitments on excess facilities, net of any estimated income from subleases. All such judgments and related estimates are reviewed and, if necessary, revised on an annual basis, which may result in adjustments to previously recorded liability accruals.

		In 2008, the Company incurred and recorded restructuring charges of $1.2 million, consisting primarily of termination benefits paid to two employees whose positions were eliminated as a result of commencement of a plan to relocate the Company’s corporate headquarters and certain senior management positions from Canada to the United States. Of that charge, $161,000 was a non-cash expense related to the transfer to an employee of shares held of an equity-method investment of the Company and $78,000 was share-based compensation expense related to the issuance of common stock. Of the total restructuring charge, $53,000 was recorded in the RPS segment, and $1.1 million was unallocated. As of October 31, 2008, all of the severance costs had been paid and no restructuring accrual existed in connection with this plan.

		In 2009, the Company implemented a series of restructuring actions to right-size its operations, to relocate its corporate headquarters and to reduce expenses. As a result of these activities, the Company reduced its headcount by 126 employees and incurred severance-related expenses of approximately $1.7 million. Of the total restructuring charge, $1.1 million was recorded in the IMAGINiT segment, $79,000 was recorded in the RPS segment, and $577,000 was unallocated. As of October 31, 2009, there were $12,000 of workforce-related unpaid severance costs and $205,000 of accrued restructuring costs related to facility closures, primarily in the IMAGINiT segment.

		In 2010, the Company continued to implement certain actions to restructure its operations. During the eight-month period, these actions resulted in the involuntary termination of 31 employees which resulted in

severance-related expenses of $616,000 as well as $55,000 in facility lease terminations. Of the total restructuring charge, $70,000 was recorded in the IMAGINiT segment, $562,000 was recorded in the RPS segment, and $33,000 was unallocated.

		On November 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10 Income Taxes (FIN 48). As a result of the implementation, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

		As of October 31, 2008 and 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $17.1 million, $22.8 million and $27.8 million, respectively. Under IRC 382 certain changes in the Company’s ownership structure may result in a limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used in future years. These carryforwards expire between 2009 and 2029. As of October 31, 2008 and 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company also has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $31.8 million, $24.7 million and $18.2 million, respectively, available to reduce future taxable income. These carryforwards expire between 2009 and 2028 for some jurisdictions, and for other jurisdictions, the losses may be carried forward indefinitely.

		As of October 31, 2008 and 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against the amount of its net deferred tax assets, in all jurisdictions including the United States, because it believes that it is more likely than not that the tax assets in those jurisdictions will not be realized prior to their expiration.

		During 2008 and 2009, the Company disposed of several of its subsidiaries (Note 17). As a result of those dispositions or closures, deferred tax assets of $4.3 million for 2008 and $1. 5 million for 2009 for foreign net operating loss carryforwards recorded in the acquisition of RATC with a full valuation allowance were removed from the accounts as they are no longer available for use by the Company. For the years ended

October 31, 2008 and 2009, the income tax provision for discontinued operations was $83,000 and $380,000, respectively.

		The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, it or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before fiscal 2002. Carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2002 may still be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities if they have been or will be used in the future. Similar tax laws may also apply for state and international tax purposes.

		At June 30, 2010, United States income taxes were not provided on permanently undistributed earnings for certain non-US subsidiaries as the Company will reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its operations outside of the United States.

		At June 30, 2010, the Company had no accrual for uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next 12 months, and as of the filing date of this Form 10-K, an estimate of the possible change cannot be made. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of the provision for income tax expense on the consolidated statement of operations.

10.		Debt and Other Related-Party Transactions

		Stockholder loans

		On October 31, 2007, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) with the Stockholder, which owned 100% of the outstanding preferred stock and 89% of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of October 31, 2009 and 2008. The Term Loan consisted of two promissory notes: one for $10.0 million bearing interest of 10% or 12% per year based upon the timing of repayments, and another for $3.5 million bearing interest of 10% or 14% per year based upon the timing of repayments. Per the original terms of the promissory notes, all principal and interest were to be fully repaid by November 1, 2012, with scheduled principal and interest payments beginning in December 2007. The Company incurred issuance costs related to the Term Loan of $269,000, which was recorded as a discount on the carrying value of the debt and will be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the debt through November 1, 2012. Amortization of debt issuance cost recognized as interest expense was $54,000 in each of 2008 and 2009 and $36,000 for the eight-months ended June 30, 2010.

		Between November 1, 2007 and February 14, 2008, the Company repaid $2.3 million of principal and paid $50,000 of interest under the Term Loan.

		On February 14, 2008, the Term Loan was amended to reflect the amalgamation of all amounts outstanding under the two original promissory notes as well as the inclusion of $2.3 million of new borrowings. In addition, accrued interest of $309,000 was converted to principal, resulting in a revised principal balance of $13.8 million as of that date. Of this amount, $1.7 million was required to be repaid on September 1, 2008, and thereafter payments of $242,000 were to be made monthly through November 1, 2012, at which time all remaining principal and interest were due. Unpaid principal balances were to incur interest of 10% per year; however, that rate was increased to 12% per year retroactive to February 14, 2008 because the entire principal balance was not repaid by August 31, 2008, which date was later amended to be September 30, 2009. The amended Term Loan contained covenants that prevented the Company from incurring additional debt or creating other liens, except for those arising in the normal course of business; entering into sale-leaseback transactions; making investments; selling assets; making acquisitions or other business

F-26

		combinations; paying dividends; or repurchasing stock. The Term Loan also specified events of default, including among other circumstances the Company’s failure to make payments of principal or interest when due and its failure to maintain certain non-financial covenants, in case of which the Stockholder could have required immediate repayment of all outstanding principal and interest.

		On July 30, 2008, the Company entered into a series of unsecured, demand promissory notes with the Stockholder, receiving proceeds of $1.0 million. Unpaid principal balances on these notes incurred interest of 10% per year. The $1.0 million of borrowings under these notes was repaid in full in 2008 by the Company.

		On September 4, 2008 and October 23, 2008, the Term Loan was further amended, resulting in revised payment terms that required a principal repayment of $2.6 million on December 20, 2008 and monthly payments of principal of $242,000 thereafter through November 1, 2012.

		As of October 31, 2008, the Term Loan had a principal balance of $13.8 million, which was required to be repaid as follows: $4.8 million in fiscal 2009, $2.9 million in fiscal 2010, $2.9 million in fiscal 2011 and $3.2 million in fiscal 2012. Accordingly, $9.0 million of the principal balance of the Term Loan had been classified as the long-term portion of amounts due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheet, net of remaining debt issuance costs of $215,000. As of October 31, 2008, the current portion of the amounts due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheet, totaling $7.0 million, consisted of the $4.8 million of principal due to the Stockholder under the Term Loan, $1.0 million of accrued interest under the Term Loan, and $1.3 million due to the Stockholder for reimbursement of professional fees incurred by the Company in connection with its acquisition of RATC (Note 3) as well as other fees due to the Stockholder.

		On January 10, 2009, the Term Loan was amended, resulting in revised payment terms that required a principal repayment of $4.8 million on October 1, 2009 and thereafter principal repayments of $242,000 monthly through November 1, 2012, at which time all principal and accrued interest are due.

		On April 29, 2009, the Company entered into a series of unsecured, demand promissory notes with the Stockholder receiving proceeds of $2.0 million. Unpaid principal balances on these notes incurred interest of 10% per year, until they were repaid in full on August 14, 2009.

		On August 14, 2009, the Company made a series of payments totaling $8.1 million for the amounts owed to the Stockholder, including $1.1 million primarily related to reimbursement of transaction fees paid in connection with the RATC acquisition and the Company’s issuance of preferred stock; $2.1 million for all principal and interest amounts then outstanding in relation to the unsecured, demand promissory notes; $2.3 million for unpaid interest accrued on the Term Loan; and $2.7 million of principal repayments under the Term Loan. As a result of these payments, the principal balance of the Term Loan was reduced to $11.1 million on that date.

		In conjunction with the establishment of the revolving line of credit (Note 11), the Stockholder entered into a subordination agreement with the domestic bank that prioritized the guarantees and security interest associated with the revolving line of credit in advance of those included in the Company’s Term Loan. In addition, the Term Loan was modified to conform its payment terms to those permitted under the bank revolving line of credit agreement. The revolving line of credit agreement allows the Company to make periodic repayments of amounts due under the Term Loan as long as certain financial covenants are maintained by the Company. Absent satisfying those covenants, no repayments under the Term Loan are permitted. The Term Loan modification removes the obligation of the Company to pay the amounts due under the existing payment schedule of the Term Loan if such payments would violate the terms of the revolving credit agreement. Further, delays in payments under the Term Loan that arise from this

F-27

Rand Worldwide, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		prioritization of the bank revolving line of credit are not deemed to be events of default under the modified Term Loan agreement.

		As the entire principal balance of the Term Loan was not repaid prior to September 30, 2009, the interest rate of the loan increased to 12% retroactive to February 14, 2008 on all unpaid principal balances.

		As June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Term Loan agreement and there existed no default or events of default under the Term Loan agreement.

		As a result of the Merger, the Company’s Term Loan is no longer outstanding and the Company has no remaining financial obligations relative to its Term Loan or the related formerly-accruing interest.

		Rand North America

		Rand North America (“RNA”) is a business that purchases services from the Company and was formed in 2004 as a joint venture that, during 2008 and 2009, was 30% owned by the Company and 70% owned by Dassault. During 2008 and 2009, the Company provided various training and consulting services to RNA, which resulted in $4.1 million and $2.4 million of related party revenue, respectively. As of October 31, 2008 and 2009, accounts receivable due from RNA related to purchases of those services totaled $1.2 million and $627,000, respectively. During 2008 and 2009, the Company also purchased various consulting services from RNA totaling $175,000 and $35,000, respectively. No amount was payable to RNA as of October 31, 2008 or 2009 for these purchases.

		In April 2010, the Company sold its ownership interest in RNA to Dassault for proceeds of approximately $1.6 million. As the carrying value of the ownership interest was zero, the full value of the proceeds were recorded as a gain on sale of an investment in the eight months ended June 30, 2010. After the transaction, RNA was no longer a related party and all accounts receivable due from RNA ceased to be classified as such.

11.		Revolving Line of Credit

		On August 14, 2009, the Company entered into a three-year revolving credit and security agreement with a domestic bank. The primary use of this facility was to allow the Company to repay a portion of its Term Loan and to fund regular working capital requirements. The facility permits borrowing by the Company of up to $10.0 million against eligible accounts receivable and up to an additional $2.5 million supported by a guarantee provided by the Stockholder. The applicable interest rate under this facility is either (i) the bank’s daily set rate plus specified margins, determined based on the Company’s operating performance, or (ii) the bank’s lending rate. As of October 31, 2009, and June 30, 2010 the applicable interest rate under the facility was 6.0%. The bank also charges the Company a monthly facility fee of 50 basis points of the outstanding balance, a collateral evaluation and monitoring fee, and a fee for each letter of credit. Borrowings under this new revolving line of credit are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Upon execution of the facility, the Company borrowed $8.4 million, of which $8.1 million was used to repay amounts then due to the Stockholder and $314,000 was used to pay transaction costs associated with the facility.

		Several affirmative and negative covenants are associated with the facility. The most restrictive of these covenants are minimum operating performance requirements that became effective during the three-months ended April 30, 2010. In addition, the covenants establish limits on annual capital expenditures and limit the Company’s ability to acquire or divest of certain assets.

		As of October 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance under this credit facility was $4.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. As of those dates, the Company was in compliance with the

F-28

Rand Worldwide, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		terms of the credit agreement and its covenants and there existed no default or events of default under the credit agreement.

		In conjunction with its merger with Avatech, the Company is negotiating a revised credit facility with the same bank.

12.		Commitments and Contingencies

		Lease Commitments

		The Company leases its office space and certain office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2015. Rent expenses under operating leases during 2008, 2009 and 2010 were $3.0 million, $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating and capital leases as of June 30, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

		Litigation

		The Company is party to various litigation matters that management considers routine and incidental to the Company’s business. As of October 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company had accrued no material amounts related to these matters.

		In November 2010, the Company agreed to settle a lawsuit for $350,000 that alleged it breached certain clauses of an asset purchase agreement entered in 2006. The full amount of the settlement was accrued as of June 30, 2010 and is included as a component of accrued professional fees.

		Guarantees

		In the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies third parties and enters into commitments and guarantees (“Agreements”) under which it may be required to make payments. These Agreements include indemnities to the following parties: lenders in connection with the Term Loan; lessors in connection with facility leases; customers in relation to the performance of services; vendors in connection with guarantees of expenses incurred by employees in the normal course of business; former employees in connection with their prior services as a director or officer of the Company or its subsidiary companies; vendors or principals in

connection with performance under asset or share purchase and sale agreements and performance under credit facilities and other agreements of the Company’s subsidiaries. The duration of these Agreements varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. Furthermore, the majority of these Agreements do not limit the Company’s maximum potential payment exposure. In addition, the Company is party to a guarantee with its largest vendor, Autodesk, Inc., in relation to all of the Company’s subsidiaries’ obligations to Autodesk. The Company has recorded no accrued liability related to these Agreements, based on its historical experience and information known as of June 30, 2010.

		On November 1, 2007, the Company issued 31,000,000 shares of Series A redeemable preferred stock (“Series A”) for $1.00 per share. At October 31, 2008 and 2009, and June 30, 2010, 31,858,922 shares of Series A were authorized and designated, of which 31,000,000 shares were issued and outstanding.

		In conjunction with its August 2010 recapitalization and Merger, the Company’s redeemable preferred stock is no longer outstanding.

		Series A Preferred Stock

		The Series A preferred stock had the following characteristics:

		Voting

		Each holder of Series A preferred stock was entitled to vote together with the holders of common stock and was entitled to one vote per share of Series A preferred stock held by such holder. In addition, holders of the Series A preferred stock, as a separate class, were entitled to elect three members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

		Dividends

		Dividends accrued from the date of issuance of the Series A preferred stock at a rate of 8% per year (the “Accruing Dividends”). The Accruing Dividends accrued whether or not declared, are cumulative and compounded annually. However, the Accruing Dividends were payable in cash only when and if declared by the Board of Directors. The Company could not declare or pay any dividends on shares of any other class unless all accrued and unpaid dividends were paid in full to the holders of Series A preferred stock. As of October 31, 2008 and 2009, accrued but unpaid cumulative dividends totaled $2.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, accrued but unpaid cumulative dividends totaled $7.3 million and were recorded as an increase in the carrying value of the preferred stock, based on the redemption amount of the stock.

		Redemption

		Series A preferred stock was mandatorily redeemable upon request of the holders of at least a majority of such stock at a price equal to the original price of $1.00 per share (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalizations) plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared. As the Series A preferred stock was mandatorily redeemable upon request of the holders of at least a majority of such stock, the carrying value of the Series A preferred stock was accreted to its then-determined redemption amount at each balance sheet date.

		Conversion

		The holders of the Series A preferred stock were not entitled to convert their preferred stock into shares of common stock.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		Liquidation Preference

		In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the then outstanding Series A preferred stock were entitled, before any payment was made to the holders of the common stock, to receive an amount per share equal to the original issue price of $1.00 per share (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalizations) plus any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon. In the event that the assets to be distributed were not sufficient to permit payment in full of such liquidation payments, the entire assets of the Company were to be distributed ratably to the holders of Series A preferred stock. After the holders of the then outstanding Series A preferred stock had been paid in full their liquidation payments, the remaining assets of the Company were to be distributed to the holders of the common stockholders on a pro rata basis.

Common Stock and Stock Option Plan

		As a result of the Merger, the Company’s common stock and stock-based awards are no longer outstanding.

		Common Stock Each share of common stock was entitled to one vote. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of common stock were subject to and qualified by the rights and preferences of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock.

		Prior to and through October 31, 2007, the Company issued to the Stockholder (Note 10) an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of common stock for nominal consideration in connection with the formation and capitalization of the Company.

		During 2008, the Company also issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to consultant and a former employee. In December 2007, the Company issued 750,000 fully vested shares of common stock, with a fair value of $0.06 per share, and recorded stock-based compensation expense of $44,000. In May 2008, the Company issued 250,000 fully vested shares of common stock, with a fair value of $0.31 per share, and recorded stock-based compensation expense of $78,000.

		Stock Option Plan Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an aggregate of 770,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. Options granted under the Plans may be incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs may only be granted to employees. The Board of Directors of the Company determines the period over which options become exercisable. Options granted to date become exercisable over a four-year period at each anniversary date of the date of grant at a rate of 25% per year. The exercise price of ISOs shall be no less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (or 110% of fair market value for ISOs granted to holders of more than 10% of the voting stock of the Company). The exercise price of each NSO shall be determined by the Board of Directors. The term of the options is determined by the Board of Directors, but in the case of ISOs the term may not exceed 10 years from date of grant.

		In March 2009, the Company amended the Plan, increasing the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants from 770,000 to 1,070,000.

Rand Worldwide, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		In December 2009, the Company amended the Plan, increasing the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants from 1,070,000 to 1,130,000.

		In conjunction with the recapitalization of the Company (Note 1), the Plan was transferred and became an arrangement of RWWI. As a result, no further shares of the Company can be issued pursuant to the Plan.

		Restricted Common Stock The Plan also permits in certain circumstances the issuance of common stock subject to certain restrictions, including forfeitures and the Company’s right to repurchase such shares. These restrictions will be determined by the Board of Directors.

		Share-Based Compensation In 2008, 2009 and for the eight-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense of $128,000, $39,000 and $33,000, respectively in connection with employee share-based awards. As of October 31, 2008 and 2009 and for the eight-months period ended June 30, 2010, unrecognized share-based compensation for non-vested stock options totaled $44,000, $125,000 and $154,000, respectively, (net of expected forfeitures) and was expected to be recognized as future expense using the straight-line method over a weighted-average period of 3.8 years, 3.2 years and 2.7 years, respectively.
