Attachment A
ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

A
APPLICABLE TO INDIVIDUALS ONLY. Please answer the following questions concerning your financial condition as an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D). If the Investor is more than one individual, each individual must initial an answer where the question indicates a “yes” or “no” response, indicating to which individual it applies. If the Investor is purchasing jointly with his or her spouse, one answer may be indicated for the couple as a whole:

 
1.
Does your net worth*, or joint net worth with your spouse, exceed $1,000,000?

  Yes______
No______

 
2.
Did you have an individual income ** in excess of $200,000, or joint income together with your spouse in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most recent years (2004 and 2005) and do you reasonably expect to reach the same income level in the current year (2006)?

  Yes______
No______

 
3.
Are you an executive officer or director of Friendlyway, Inc.

  Yes______
No______

 
*
For purposes hereof net worth shall be deemed to include ALL of your assets, liquid or illiquid (including such items as home, furnishings, automobile and restricted securities) MINUS any liabilities (including such items as home mortgages and other debts and liabilities).

**
For purposes hereof the term “income” is not limited to “adjusted gross income” as that term is defined for federal income tax purposes, but rather includes certain items of income which are deducted in computing “adjusted gross income.” For investors who are salaried employees, the gross salary of such investor, minus any significant expenses personally incurred by such investor in connection with earning the salary, plus any income from any other source including unearned income, is a fair measure of “income” for purposes hereof. For investors who are self-employed, “income” is generally construed to mean total revenues received during the calendar year minus significant expenses incurred in connection with earning such revenues.
