His expertise encompasses a wide scope of industries, including professional service organizations, brokerages, financial services, construction, retail, utilities, municipalities, not-for-profits, manufacturing and many others. Types of Expert Witness Litigation Mr. Gadawski s experience includes the following types of matters: Fraud/Embezzlement Fraudulent Conveyance Construction Claims Wrongful Death Lost Profit Calculations Money Laundering Insolvency Alter Ego Personal Injury Inverse Condemnation Breach of Contract Trademark/Tradedress Infringement Fiduciary Duty Patent Infringement Business Interruption Wrongful Termination Types of Business Valuation Projects Auto Dealerships Construction Companies Dissenting Shareholders Nurseries Wholesale/Distributors Financial Institutions FLPs/LLCs Gift Tax Wood Products Manufacturers Medical Clinics Patents/Trademarks Physicians Printing Service Companies Page 1 of 16

Involvement Guidelines Fee Policy Technology Sources Selected Forensic Accounting, Litigation and Valuation Assignments We have found that our cost-effectiveness as litigation and valuation support specialists requires a minimum claim amount of about $25,000. However, we will provide advisory and pro bono assistance in smaller matters. It is our practice to spend up to 4 hours at no charge to gain an understanding of the matter, and advise you of the most effective application of our expertise. We will provide you with deliverablespecific fee estimates where possible. We utilize the most current technology for research, analysis and presentation including a variety of on-line databases and services. The following selected examples illustrate the types of cases and assignments in which we have provided assistance. Further details can be provided upon request. MATTER OUTCOME A managing shareholder used corporate funds for numerous personal and non-business expenditures over the course of 10 years. The other shareholder discovered some of these transactions and filed an action for recovery on behalf of the Company. The bookkeeper of an Oregon non-profit organization managed to embezzle in excess of $175,000 during a period of 4 years. The bookkeeper employed a variety of embezzlement techniques and managed to avoid detection even though the organization had an annual audit performed by an outside CPA firm. A husband and wife were indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit fraud against the United States and conspiracy to commit money laundering. It was alleged that the suspects were using a charity to send money to Iran for investment and other purposes in violation of the US embargo against Iran. We conducted a detailed analysis of all personal and nonbusiness expenditures made on behalf of both shareholders for the prior 10 years and provided testimony regarding the same. The Company obtained a $1.9 million judgment against the managing shareholder. We performed a detailed investigation into the fraud and provided assistance to both the Assistant District Attorney in the criminal matter and counsel for the organization in civil recovery. Based upon our analysis and the diligent work of counsel, the defendant pled guilty and was sentenced to 48 months in prison. Furthermore, the organization was successful in recovering virtually all of the funds embezzled through settlements with insurance carriers and a settlement with the organization s independent auditor. We provided testimony regarding the salient elements of each transaction and the ultimate disposition of the monies at issue. The jury found both suspects guilty on all counts. Page 2 of 16

MATTER OUTCOME A well-known toolmaker sued a large corporation under the Lanham Act for trademark infringement related to the design, manufacturing and distribution of a specialized tool. The plaintiff sought injunctive relief and damages for lost profits. A group of lumber brokers sued their former employer for unpaid commissions. The brokers were to be paid a certain percentage of the gross margin on each completed transaction. They claimed that their former employer, a large Oregon based lumber broker, had purposely excluded certain items from gross margin in order to reduce commissions. We were asked to analyze the corporation s accounting of revenues and expenses. Long-time employees were terminated and ultimately filed an age discrimination and wrongful termination claim against their former employer. The Plaintiffs were claiming lost wages, health benefits and retirement benefits. An art dealer was sued by a supplier claiming that there was a substantial account balance remaining to be paid. The defendant filed a counter-claim stating that they had a credit balance with the supplier and they were due a refund of their monies. A large construction contractor sued the State of Oregon through the Department of Transportation claiming that a construction project was unduly delayed and scope changes were made resulting in a claim for damages of approximately $1.9 million. Based upon our testimony at the settlement hearing, our client settled the case for an amount in excess of their expectations and obtained injunctive relief against the defendant. We recalculated the lost commissions based upon the exclusions of certain items from the gross margin. The client settled the matter before trial for an amount in excess of our calculations. We were retained by Plaintiffs to opine on their estimated economic loss. We prepared a detailed analysis of Plaintiffs historical earnings, health and retirement benefits, and any offsetting mitigation. Based on our testimony the jury awarded Plaintiffs the full amount of economic damages. We assisted the art dealer in arriving at the correct ending balance of their account. Due to the lack of reliable accounting records for both the supplier and buyer, we had to rely heavily on the source documents in order to validate the transactions and calculate the ending account balance. The matter settled the day of trial in favor of the art dealer. We were retained by the State of Oregon to assist with analysis of Plaintiff s claim and critique of their damages methodology. Based on our analysis, Plaintiff s damages, if any, were significantly less than the $1.9 million claimed. The jury did not award the contractor any damages. Page 3 of 16

MATTER OUTCOME A large Northeastern US fabric manufacturer was sued by another manufacturer for faulty product causing their claimed loss of sales to Korea and Germany, resulting in the financial collapse of their entire manufacturing business. The claim spanned nearly six years and required analysis of the economic conditions and currency exchange in the US, Germany, and Korea for the pertinent periods. The analysis was challenging since the time period overlapped the Asian market crisis. We were engaged by the respondent in a marital dissolution to perform a detailed analysis segregating separate and marital property per a pre-nuptial agreement. Assets included various corporate entities, numerous bank and investment accounts, personal property and real property. A developer sued an Oregon city for a wrongful taking of his development property. Plaintiff s damages were prepared by a high-profile economics firm that included very aggressive assumptions and little foundation, thus resulting in a significant overstatement of damages. The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a securities law action against a large Seattle, WA company claiming that they were selling unregistered securities. As part of the SEC action, a Receiver was appointed to oversee the Company assets and take all pertinent actions. We were retained to serve as the Receiver s forensic accountants. At the time the Receiver was appointed, the Company had expended virtually all investor funds and held no significant assets. We performed an extensive international product supply/demand analysis and determined its likely impact on the plaintiff for the multi-year period. Our conclusions resulted in a key observation that was likely pivotal to the jury s decision; we clearly demonstrated that the business relationship between the supplier and producer had begun deteriorating three years prior to the initial damage claim. Likewise, we were instrumental in demonstrating that the plaintiff s key witness had perjured himself. The jury found for the defendant. The judge awarded the respondent her share of the marital property based upon our detailed tracing and analysis of the financial transactions during the course of the marriage. Additionally, the opposing expert utilized our analysis merely changing certain assumptions in favor of his client s position. We prepared a comprehensive damages analysis indicating the most likely impact to the developer. We also used sensitivity testing and validation to identify the pivotal weaknesses of opposition s report in anticipation of trial testimony. We produced a written critique in anticipation of testimony, but the matter settled pre-trial with defendant paying a nominal amount. We assisted the Receiver with securing and recovery of assets for the receivership estate. Additionally, we prepared a detailed accounting of all funds received and expended by the company, approximately $90 million in investor receipts. We also prepared analysis and provided testimony for multiple fraudulent transfer actions to assist the Receiver in recovery of assets. When the receivership was closed, investors received in excess of $.30 on the dollar. Page 4 of 16

MATTER OUTCOME We were retained by an insurance carrier to analyze a lost earnings claim presented by a party injured in an auto accident. The injured party was a securities broker and claimed lost commissions due to decreased working capacity resulting from the accident. A closely held automotive repair business suspected their accountant/office manager of embezzlement. The impact threatened the continuation of the business, and the suspect (through his attorney) declined to participate in any way. We conducted an on-site records analysis requiring extensive forensic analysis and partial reconstruction to determine the extent of the fraud. Based upon our analysis and findings, the insurance carrier settled favorable with the injured party during mediation. Our analysis illustrated that the lost commissions were not proximately caused by the auto accident. In fact, the claimant s commissions decreased dramatically due to significant declines within the stock market and NASDAQ. The claimant had previously based his claim on prior commissions earned during the period of very robust markets. Based upon our findings, the suspect conceded his involvement, and assigned virtually all of his personal assets to the business owners, and also signed a personal note committing to repay the difference.

Regarding Our Business Valuation Work: (Note: It is the policy of Financial Forensics to prepare all business valuation in accordance with standards that equal or exceed the standards promulgated by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)). Consequently, we are familiar with the Cost, Income and Market Approaches, and all aspects of secondary adjustments resulting from control, minority and non-marketable holdings. Valuation assignments are often conducted within the joint appointment model where we are appointed by both parties to arrive at a mutually acceptable value. Most of the activity involves bringing the parties together in a joint work session where we instruct them in valuation methodologies, display their results via a computer projector, interactively model the alternatives resulting from their input, and produce final results at the end of the work session. Valuation assignments range from Comprehensive, Self-Contained through Limited, Restricted-Use and have included a wide variety of business entities including law firms, medical clinics, construction companies, leasing companies, wholesale distribution, retail, farming/growing, wood products, printing, service, import/export, auto and related dealerships, accounting firms, real estate, etc. All of the people that we assign to projects have specific project-related experience and have received training in the pertinent valuation and/or litigation topics to which they are exposed. The training is both broad and deep and is another element of the uniqueness of our Firm. Business Valuation Assignments: estate valuations - We prepared Appraisal Report valuations for the Estate of a decedent who held interests in 11 distinct business entities, including partnerships, C corporations, S corporations, limited partnerships and bonds. The entities operations spanned manufacturing, distribution, construction, raw land, electronics, multi-family apartments and single-family rentals. The varied ownership interests included control, minority and 50/50 holdings, thus requiring varied secondary adjustments such as control premiums, minority interest discounts and discounts for lack of marketability. Although most entities were considered going concerns, 2 of the entities were technically bankrupt, requiring unique treatment. Also, certain of the entities contained buy/sell provisions, but others did not. The entities fiscal years ended on differing dates, including February, July, September and December and the as of valuation dates had to be determined at 2 distinct points date of death and 6 months later. Finally, the various valuation Methods included Asset (requiring real estate appraisal), Income and Market which required extensive research into the securities market, and real estate limited partnerships (RELPs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and closed-end mutual funds (CEMFs). ESOPs We often prepare valuations in connection with the DOL s (US Department of Labor) annual ESOP reporting requirement, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration issued May 17, 1988 Proposed Rules (29 CFR Part 2510), Proposed Regulations Relating to the Definition of Adequate Consideration. Our work typically consists of an Appraisal Report with extensive supporting technical analysis that validates the convergence of conclusions from every feasible viewpoint. Likewise, we have developed and applied a Control to Minority Reconciliation Model, Page 6 of 16

known as the Articulation Method that illustrates and reconciles the integrated and articulated linkage within and among control and minority shareholdings. The valuations that we have performed range up to companies approximating $100 million in revenues. gifting valuations We routinely prepare valuations in connection with gifting transactions, often in conjunction with succession planning. Our Appraisal Reports are structured to comply with recently enacted IRS Adequate Disclosure requirements, REG-106177-98, December 22, 1998. The assets typically securitized in the FLPs and LLCs receiving the various assets have included operating businesses, real property, single- and multi-family properties, marketable securities and related assets. We encourage our clients to allow us to prepare preliminary calculations before completing the report so that wealth-maximization decisions can be applied in the most effective manner possible. Finally, we include the Articulation Method (see above) to comply with IRS requirements. Usually, these valuations are objectively based upon the securities market, and RELPs, REITs and CEMFs. merger/acquisition We have completed valuations in support of merger/acquisition decisions for both acquiring and disposing parties. The standard of value is ordinarily fair market value, but alternative considerations have required additional permutations including strategic, investment and synergistic value. Also, we recommend that the valuation effort accomplish dual purposes, thus resulting in an implementation/transition plan built upon a financial budget linked to the valuation analysis and assumptions. We maintain an extensive subscription base to proprietary private business databases upon which to base our analysis. The subscriptions include sources such as www.onesource.com, www.bvupdate.com, Bizcomps, BRG, IBA, Done Deals, Mergerstat, Chapman EBIT, Desmond s, www.nvst.com, and others as necessary. financing valuations We are often asked to execute valuations in support of financing requests, sometimes in connection with mergers/acquisitions, but also in connection with business growth/expansion financing needs. Our analysis is ordinarily very well received by the lender(s)/investor(s) because we comply with the highest standards possible, and likewise accommodate interactive sensitivity testing of the underlying assumptions.
