Related Party Transactions Certain Broadview University students received funding toward the cost of their education from Myhre Investments, LLC, an entity owned by Mr. Myhre. Myhre Investments, LLC had $1,233,571 and $1,393,822 in loans outstanding to University students at March 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company utilizes executive, administrative, accounting and consulting services provided by Globe University (“GU”) and the Minnesota School of Business (“MSB”) (collectively “GU/MSB”), companies owned by Mr. Myhre, pursuant to a Service Level Agreement (the “SLA”) between the Company and GU/MSB. Some of the services provided by GU/MSB under this arrangement include chief financial and chief executive officer services, information technology support, finance and accounting services, human resources support, student financial aid consulting and curriculum consulting. The SLA automatically renews for one-year periods every July, but may be terminated by either party upon 30 days’ notice. The Company incurs a monthly management fee payable to GU/MSB under the terms of the SLA. This fee is negotiated based on analysis of the cost and scope of services provided. Such analysis is performed as deemed necessary by either party, or annually at a minimum. The Company’s Board of Directors approves any changes to the monthly fee. Effective October 1, 2012, the monthly management fee was reduced from $75,000 to $50,000. Management believes the monthly charges under the SLA are competitive with, or less than, what the Company would have to pay to provide these services or to obtain them from another third party.
