THE PRINCETON REVIEW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Princeton Review, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company or Princeton Review) and its consolidated variable interest entity have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and pursuant to rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Companys annual consolidated financial statements have been
condensed or omitted and, accordingly, the accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In March 2011, the Company
committed to a plan to dispose of its community college business, an operating segment of the Companys Career Education Partnership (CEP) reporting segment. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the community college business
are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the community college business are reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. Refer to Note 2.

Liquidity Risk and Management Plans

The Company provided an updated discussion on liquidity risk in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15,
2011. Although management continues to believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund the Companys operations for the
next twelve months, the Company has experienced lower than expected profitability in the Higher Education Readiness (HER) and Penn Foster businesses and a higher than expected rate of cash expenditures in the new CEP ventures. As a
result, the Companys near term liquidity has been negatively impacted.

Accordingly, management has continued to take
actions to increase profitability and liquidity, including divesting the community college business, aggressively pursuing opportunities to increase operating cash flows, improving operations efficiency and sales execution in the HER business,
renegotiating certain contracts, introducing new product offerings in the Penn Foster division and addressing the rate of cash consumption associated with the National Labor College strategic venture.

If management is unsuccessful in its efforts to maintain adequate liquidity, the Company may need to identify additional sources of
financing to fund on-going operations and repay long term obligations as they become due. There is no assurance that such additional sources of liquidity will be able to be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Seasonality in Results of Operations

The Company experiences, and is expected to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in its revenue, results of operations and cash flows because the markets in which the Company operates are subject
to seasonal fluctuations based on the scheduled dates for standardized admissions tests and the typical school year. These fluctuations could result in volatility or adversely affect the Companys stock price. The Company typically generates
the largest portion of its Higher Education Readiness (HER) revenue in the third quarter. Penn Fosters revenue is typically generated more evenly throughout the year but marketing and promotional expenses are seasonally higher in
the first quarter. SES revenue was typically concentrated in the first and fourth quarters to more closely reflect the after school programs greatest activity during the school year. The Company exited the SES business as of the end of the
2009-2010 school year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued an amendment to goodwill impairment testing. The
amendment modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not
that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative
factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair
value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did
not have an impact on the Company since we do not have any reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts at March 31, 2011.

In December 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The amendment specifies that if a public entity presents comparative
financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period
only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro
forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The
Company adopted this guidance and will incorporate the new disclosures in the event we consummate a business acquisition in the future.

In September 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force (the EITF) reached final consensus on the issue related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This issue addresses how to
determine whether an arrangement involving multiple



7

##### Table of Contents

deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. This issue is effective for the
Companys revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance and concluded it did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates used include estimates for revenue,
uncollectible accounts receivable, deferred tax valuation allowances, impairment write-downs, useful lives assigned to intangible assets, fair value of assets and liabilities and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those
estimated.

2. Discontinued Operations

In March 2011, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of its community college business and began actively negotiating a sale transaction with Higher Education Partners, LLC (the Buyer), a
company that is partially owned by the Companys former Chief Executive Officer. On April 25, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the Buyer to sell the community college business for $4.0 million in cash plus
the value of certain closing adjustments, less the value of certain current liabilities assumed by the Buyer. As described in Note 11, the sale was consummated on May 6, 2011.

The community college business, a component of the Companys CEP reporting segment, was comprised of the Companys Bristol Community College collaboration and a team of employees that were
transferred to the Buyer upon consummation of the sale. The community college business had operations and cash flows that were clearly distinguished for operational and financial reporting purposes and accordingly, the Company reported the results
of the community college business as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table includes summarized income statement information related to the community
college business, reflected as discontinued operations for the periods presented:

Also included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 (and unrelated to
the community college business) is a $1.0 million charge for a liability relating to the estimated fair value of remaining contractual net lease rentals on our former K-12 Services facility located in New York City.

The Company classified the assets and liabilities of the community college business as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as
follows:

3. Investment in NLC-TPR Services, LLC

NLC-TPR Services, LLC (Services LLC) is a consolidated variable interest entity co-owned by the Company and the National Labor
College (NLC). Services LLC was formed in order to provide various services to NLC to support the development and launch of new programs in NLCs School of Professional Studies, including a broad range of marketing and enrollment
support, technical support for development of online courses, technical support for faculty and students and student billing and related services. In exchange for these services, Services LLC receives a fee equal to all tuition and fees earned and
collected from the School of Professional Studies programs, less program expenses and costs that Services LLC is obligated to pay to NLC and the Company for their respective contributions to the programs.

The Company consolidates the financial results of Services LLC and accordingly, recognizes revenue as tuition and fees are earned and
once collectability is reasonably assured. Expenses are recognized as incurred and are funded with the working capital contributions described below. All obligations between Services LLC and the Company are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is required to provide certain working capital contributions to Services LLC that will not exceed, in the aggregate, $12.3
million, and, under certain conditions, loans by the Company to Services LLC for working capital purposes of up to an additional $2.0 million (the Working Capital Contributions). The Companys obligations to provide the Working
Capital Contributions are subject to, among other things, the obligation of NLC to obtain specified regulatory approvals, maintain its education regulatory status, and certain other conditions. The Company made Working Capital Contributions to
Services LLC of $300 during the first quarter of 2011 and $1.5 million since inception.

In addition, during the first quarter
of 2011, the NLC obtained specified regulatory approvals, and accordingly the Company paid an additional $5.8 million to NLC as required for the acquisition of the NLC license in 2010. Provided that NLC obtains future specified regulatory approvals,
when and if necessary, and maintains its education regulatory status and certain other conditions, the Company is obligated to pay the remaining obligation for the NLC license in two final installments of $5.0 million in each of January 2012 and
January 2013. The remaining obligations are recorded as deferred acquisition payments in the consolidated balance sheets.

The
carrying amount of Services LLCs assets and liabilities that are included in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2011 and December 2010 are as follows:

4. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense primarily relates to stock option, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards under the Companys 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Compensation expense for awards
with only a service condition is recognized on a straight-line method over the requisite service period. Performance-based stock compensation expense is recognized over the service period, if the achievement of performance criteria is considered
probable by the Company. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company used the following assumptions in the fair value calculation of options granted during the three months ended
March 31, 2010 (no options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011):

Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent (GE Capital), and certain
other financial institutions which consists of a $60.0 million fully drawn term loan and a $12.5 million revolving credit facility, which is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The term loan matures in quarterly graduating installments ranging
from $1.5 million to $3.0 million, through maturity on December 7, 2014. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had three outstanding letters of credit totaling $428 and accessible borrowing availability of
approximately $6.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

Amendments

On March 9, 2011 the Company entered into (i) a first amendment to the GE Capital Credit Agreement, (ii) a third amendment
to the Senior Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with Sankaty Advisors, LLC (Sankaty) and Falcon Strategic Partners III, LP (Falcon), and (iii) a third amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement with Falcon and
Sankaty. These amendments provide the Company with greater flexibility by adjusting the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants for 2011. In addition, the amendments increase the interest rate under the GE Capital Credit Agreement
by 0.25% and add a minimum liquidity covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of cash on hand, including accessible borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility (as defined).

The Company accounted for the March 9, 2011 amendment as a loan modification and, accordingly, lender fees paid at closing of $566
were recorded as additional credit facility discount and will be amortized, along with the preexisting discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, to interest expense over the remaining life of the credit facility.

6. Segment Reporting

The Company operates in three reportable segments: Higher Education Readiness (HER), Penn Foster and Career Education
Partnerships (CEP). The Company exited the Supplemental Educational Services (SES) business at the end of the 2009-2010 school year and therefore does not report under this segment beyond 2010. These operating segments are
divisions of the Company for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The following segment results include the allocation of certain information technology costs, accounting services, executive management
costs, legal department costs, office facilities expenses, human resources expenses and other shared services.

The segment
results include Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated. As used in this report, Adjusted EBITDA means loss from continuing operations before income taxes, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation,
restructuring expense, acquisition and integration expense and certain other non-cash income and expense items. The other non-cash items include the purchase accounting impact of acquired deferred revenue, which would have been recognized if not for
the purchase accounting treatment and gains and losses from changes in fair values of embedded derivatives. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents a useful measure for evaluating its financial performance
because it reflects earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash related charges or income. The Companys management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating profits or losses of the business. Analysts, investors, lenders and
rating agencies frequently use Adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of companies, but the Companys presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because of potential
inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of the Companys operating performance, or as an alternative to any other measure of performance calculated in
conformity with GAAP.

7. Loss Per Share

Loss per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in
dividends (participating security). The Company considers the Series D Preferred Stock a participating security because it includes rights to participate in dividends with the common stock on a one for one basis, with the holders of
Series D Preferred Stock deemed to have common stock equivalent shares based on a conversion price of $4.75. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both common stock shares and Series D Preferred Stock common stock equivalent
shares based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. Losses are not allocated to Series D Preferred Stock shares.

8. Restructuring

The Company consummated an agreement to terminate the lease for its administrative office in New York City, effective as of March 31, 2011. In addition to a broker fee, the Company agreed to pay an
aggregate sum of $1.2 million over a period of fourteen months, beginning in April 2011. As a result of this settlement, the Company recorded an additional charge to restructuring expense of approximately $58 to adjust its liability for the
estimated fair value of the remaining contractual payments under this arrangement.

The Company expects to pay substantially all severance and termination benefits related to the 2009
restructuring initiative by the end of July 2011 and all lease termination costs by the end of May 2012. Accrued restructuring is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, with the exception of the long-term
portion of the New York City office liability, which is included in other long-term liabilities ($169 and $799 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively).

9. Fair Value Disclosure

The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by an accounting
standard that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.



|         |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|-------- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1. |  | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The Companys Level 1 assets consist of
money market funds and 90 day certificates of deposit, which are valued at quoted market prices in active markets.                                                                 
|         | 
|Level 2. |  | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company does not have any Level 2 assets or liabilities.
|         | 
|Level 3. |  | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Companys Level 3
liabilities consist of embedded derivatives.                                                                                                                                                 

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the
following table shows the fair value of the Companys financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Activity related to
our embedded financial derivatives for the period was as follows (in thousands):



|                                        |  |   |     | 
|--------------------------------------- |  | - | --- | 
|Balance at beginning of period          |  | $ | 707 | 
|Loss realized from change in fair value |  |   | 110 | 
|                                        |  |   |     | 
|Balance at end of period                |  | $ | 817 | 
|                                        |  |   |     | 

Money market funds and certificates of deposit, included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash,
are valued at quoted market prices in active markets.

Embedded derivatives related to certain mandatory prepayments within
the Companys senior notes and junior notes are valued using a pricing model utilizing unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data, including the probability of contingent events required to trigger the mandatory prepayments.
The change in fair value of the embedded derivatives was a $110 increase and a $293 decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was recorded as a (loss) and gain, respectively, in other (expense) income, net
in the accompanying statements of operations.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation. Although the outcome
of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, we do not believe that we are currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

##### Table of Contents

On January 21, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand from the U.S.
Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York, seeking documents and information relating to the Supplemental Education Services provided by the Princeton Review in New York City during 2002-2010. The Company is cooperating with the
U.S. Attorneys Office in providing the requested documents and information. The Company currently is not able to make a reasonable estimate of any liability related to this matter because of the uncertainties related to the outcome and/or the
amount or range of loss.

The owner of Penn Foster prior to the seller (the Previous Owner) filed a petition with
the IRS proposing to amend tax returns for periods prior to the date of acquisition to recognize additional taxable income of $33.0 million. Due to certain factors, the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) must approve the petition
before the Previous Owner is permitted to amend the prior tax returns. If the IRS were to reject the petition of the Previous Owner, the Company could potentially be liable for the payment of taxes on the additional taxable income of $33.0 million.
Under the Acquisition Agreement between the Company and the seller, the seller and certain members of the Seller have represented that Penn Foster is entitled to be indemnified by the Previous Owner for unpaid and undisclosed tax obligations that
arose from events occurring prior to the Companys acquisition of Penn Foster. Therefore, in the event that the Company were to become liable for any taxes due on the additional taxable income of $33.0 million, the Company believes that it
would have a right to recover such amounts from the Previous Owner or, secondarily, the seller. The Company currently believes that it is probable that the IRS will accept the petition of the previous owners and that it will not be obligated to pay
any taxes that may become due on the additional taxable income of $33.0 million. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes related to this matter has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2011.

11. Subsequent Events

On April 25, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Higher Education Partners, LLC (Buyer) to
sell the community college business for $4.0 million in cash plus the value of certain closing adjustments, less the value of certain current liabilities assumed by the Buyer. The sale was consummated on May 6, 2011 and the Company received net
proceeds of $3.0 million. Concurrent with the sale, the Company agreed to license to the Buyer Penn Fosters Virtual High School content through December 31, 2013 for a fee of $1.2 million, to be paid over the course of three years
beginning in March 2012.

Overview

The Princeton Review is a leading provider of in-person, online and print education products and services targeting the high school and post-secondary markets. The Company was founded in 1981 to provide
SAT preparation courses. Today, based on our experience in the test preparation industry, we now believe that we are among the leading providers of test preparation courses for most major post-secondary and graduate admissions tests.

On December 7, 2009, we acquired Penn Foster Education Group (Penn Foster), one of the oldest and largest online
education companies in the United States. On April 20, 2010, we entered into a strategic relationship with the National Labor College (NLC) and a newly formed subsidiary, NLC-TPR Services, LLC (Services LLC), owned 49%
by the Company and 51% by NLC to support the development and launch of new programs. Under variable interest entity accounting guidance, we are required to consolidate the financial results of Services LLC. Our Career Education Partnerships division
includes the activities of the Services, LLC and other costs relating to the establishment of new strategic venture partnerships.

We currently operate through our Higher Education Readiness, Penn Foster and Career Education Partnerships divisions. We exited the Supplemental Educational Services business as of the end of the
2009-2010 school year and therefore did not operate under this segment beyond 2010.

Higher Education Readiness
(HER) Division

The HER division derives the majority of its revenue from classroom-based and online test
preparation courses and tutoring services. This division also receives royalties and advances from Random House for books authored by The Princeton Review. Additionally, this division receives royalties from its independent international
franchisees, which provide classroom-based courses under the Princeton Review brand. The HER division accounted for 48% of our overall revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Penn Foster Division

The Penn Foster division offers academic programs through three primary educational institutions  Penn Foster Career School, Penn Foster College and Penn Foster High School. Each institution offers
students flexibility in scheduling the start date of enrollment, scheduling lessons and completing coursework. All course materials and supplies are mailed to students and are available online (except third-party textbooks). Students are given
access to a homepage from which they can access online study guides, view financial and academic records, access the Penn Foster library and librarian, view messages sent by the school, view grade history and access online blogs, chat groups,
discussion boards and career services. Penn Foster uses the services of over 130 faculty members who provide on-demand support for all course offerings via email, message boards, webinars and telephone.

Career Education Partnerships (CEP) Division

Through agreements with educational institutions, the CEP division provides services that assist these institutions in expanding
enrollment capacities, developing, marketing and launching new educational programs, and supporting various technical, operational and financial activities associated with the educational initiatives. The CEP division was established after the
creation of the strategic relationship with NLC in April 2010.

Through our strategic relationship with NLC, the CEP division
provides various services to NLC to support the development and launch of new programs, including bachelor degree completion and certificate programs to approximately 11.5 million members of the AFL-CIO and their families. The services provided
cover a broad range of functions, including marketing, enrollment support, technical support for development of online courses, technical support for faculty and students, and student billing and related services.

In March 2011, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of its community college business,
an operating segment of the Companys CEP reporting segment. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the community college business are classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the community college business are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Supplemental Educational Services (SES) Division

The SES division provided state-aligned research-based academic tutoring instruction to students in schools in need of improvement in
school districts throughout the country which receive funding under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). In the 2009-2010 school year we experienced greater variability in school districts willingness to fully utilize funds
allocated to SES programs, as well as generally later program start dates and greater competition from individual school districts that developed and offered internally developed SES programs. In addition, there was increased uncertainty about the
future of NCLB and the concept of adequate yearly performance as a means of allocating Title I funding. On May 18, 2010, we announced our intention to exit the SES business as of the end of the 2009-2010 school year. After completing programs
offered in the 2009-2010 school year, we closed certain offices and terminated employees associated with the SES business.

Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, total revenue decreased by $13.5 million, or 21%, to $49.7 million from $63.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding the
impact of the former SES Services business, total revenue decreased by $3.5 million, or 7%, to $49.7 million from $53.2 million.

HER revenue decreased by $3.0 million, or 11%, to $23.7 million from $26.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Approximately $1.7 million of the decrease was attributable to a decrease
in classroom-based course revenue due to a decline in enrollments and a shift towards lower hour, lower priced offerings. Tutoring revenue declined by approximately $1.5 million due to reduced hours of tutoring per student despite increases in price
per hour of tutoring. Institutional revenue decreased by approximately $315,000 due to the postponed start of one major contract into the second quarter of 2011 and the loss of certain contracts, despite increases in the number of new institutional
customers over the prior period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $508,000 in online revenues as we continue to market our expanding online course content.

Penn Foster revenue decreased by $428,000, or 2%, to $26.0 million from $26.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
decrease is primarily the result of lower enrollments during 2011, as compared to 2010, despite higher revenues per enrollment. The division is pursuing a strategy of shifting enrollment focus to a more committed student base, which we expect to
translate into better retention and ultimately, higher profitability.

CEP revenue of $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 represents fees earned
in conjunction with initial student enrollments in certain pilot programs of the National Labor College School of Professional Studies, beginning in March 2011.

SES Services revenues of approximately $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 consisted of fees earned for the 2009-2010 academic year, which ended in June 2010. After completing
programs offered in the 2009-2010 school year, we closed our SES offices and terminated employees associated with the SES business.

Cost of Goods and Services Sold

For the three months ended March 31,
2011, total cost of goods and services sold decreased by $5.3 million, or 24%, to $17.2 million from $22.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding the impact of the former SES Services business, total cost of goods and
services sold decreased by $1.1 million, or 6%, to $17.2 million from $18.3 million.

HER cost of goods and services sold
decreased by $1.1 million, or 11%, to $8.9 million from $10.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to reduced teacher pay associated with a shift towards lower hour courses and reduced variable site rent associated
with efforts to consolidate course locations. Gross margin during the period for the HER division remained flat at 63%.

Penn
Foster cost of goods and services sold remained flat for both periods at $8.3 million and gross margin decreased slightly to 68%, from 69% in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Slight decreases in course material costs due to lower
enrollments were offset by slight increases in education wages and outside faculty costs.

SES Services cost of goods and
services sold of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 consisted of teacher compensation and course costs incurred for the 2009-2010 academic year, which ended in June 2010. After completing programs offered in the 2009-2010
school year, we closed our SES offices and terminated employees associated with the SES business.

Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by $3.2 million, or 9%, to $32.9 million from $36.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding the impact of the former SES Services business, total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $171,000,
or 1%, to $32.9 million from $33.1 million.

HER selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $357,000, or 3%, to
$11.7 million from $12.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to reduced advertising, marketing and professional fees.

Penn Foster selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly by $80,000 to $16.0 million from $16.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

CEP selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $352,000, or 36%, to $632,000 from $984,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2010. Expenditures in the current period primarily relate to developing, marketing and promoting the programs being offered by the NLC School of Professional Studies, where expenditures in the prior period primarily related to
personnel costs and professional fees associated with the establishment and formation of the NLC strategic relationship.

SES
Services selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 consisted of compensation, travel and office expenditures associated with supporting the SES business. After completing programs
offered in the 2009-2010 school year, we closed our SES offices and terminated employees associated with the SES business.

Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $618,000, or 15%, to $4.6 million from $4.0 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2010, due primarily to increased accounting and legal professional service fees, partially offset by reduced compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three months ended March 31,
2011, depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $5.6 million to $5.0 million from $10.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease is partially the result of no acceleration charges during the current period, as
compared to the prior period, which included approximately $2.4 million of accelerated depreciation and amortization charges associated with actions taken to close our administrative office in New York City and our decision to cease use of our
legacy ERP system. In addition, during the prior period we changed our estimated useful lives for certain fixed assets under a revised depreciation policy, resulting in additional depreciation and amortization expense for that period of $1.6
million. Also, approximately $1.9 million of the decrease is attributable to certain intangible assets acquired with the Penn Foster acquisition being amortized on an accelerated basis, resulting in higher amortization in the prior period. These
decreases were partially offset by an increase of $519,000 relating to a license acquired in conjunction with the NLC strategic venture in April 2010.

Restructuring

Restructuring charges decreased by $968,000, or 94%, to $63,000 from $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily consist of an adjustment to the liability for the remaining contractual payments for our former administrative office in New York City, as we consummated an agreement to
terminate the lease effective March 31, 2011.

The restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2010
include severance and termination benefits related to the migration of call center and accounting operations based in Houston, Texas and Framingham, Massachusetts, respectively, to the Penn Foster headquarters in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and lease
termination charges associated with the closure of two-thirds of our administrative office in New York City.

Acquisition
and integration expenses

Acquisition and integration expenses decreased by $149,000, or 15%, to $874,000 from $1.0 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Accounting and advisory fees incurred in the prior period relating to the acquisition and audit of Penn Foster were not incurred during the current period, while both periods include integration costs
associated with combining our legacy systems and operations with Penn Foster.

Interest expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, interest expense decreased by $1.5 million, to $5.1 million from $6.6 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2010. A decrease of $1.9 million associated with the repayment of our bridge notes in April 2010 was partially offset by increases in interest under our credit facility due to increased borrowing levels and increases in
interest under our senior subordinated and junior subordinated notes due to compounded pay-in-kind interest.

Other
(expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net for both periods primarily consists of losses and income recognized from
the change in fair value of our embedded derivatives.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by $449,000, to $737,000 from $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the projected taxable earnings of an operating subsidiary with a separate state filing obligation. The difference between the Companys effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% is
mainly due to state income taxes from operations of a subsidiary in a jurisdiction that cannot benefit from the Companys losses, as well as the effect of tax-deductible goodwill, for which a deferred tax liability has been recorded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flow generated from operations. Our primary uses of cash during the three
months ended March 31, 2011 were capital expenditures, investments in the National Labor College (NLC) venture and scheduled repayments of our term loan credit facility. At March 31, 2011 we had $2.0 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $6.5 million of accessible borrowing availability under our $12.5 million revolving credit facility. The undrawn balance on the revolving credit facility was $12.1 million, but our financial maintenance covenants limited accessible
borrowing to $6.5 million. In addition, in September 2009 we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC utilizing a shelf registration process whereby we may from time to time offer and sell common stock, preferred stock, warrants or
units, or any combination of these securities, in one or more offerings up to a total amount of $75.0 million. In April 2010, we sold 16.1 million shares of common stock through this shelf registration process for a public offering price
of $48.3 million (before underwriting discounts and commissions).

Our debt financing agreements, as amended in March 2011,
contain covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness and that require us to comply with financial covenant ratios that are dependent on maintaining certain operating performance levels on an ongoing basis.
Specifically, our financial maintenance covenants include maximum ratios of total debt (as defined) to adjusted EBITDA (as defined), that decrease with the passage of time, and minimum ratios of adjusted cash flows (as defined) to fixed charges (as
defined), that increase with the passage of time. In addition, the covenants limit our annual capital expenditures. The debt amendments entered

##### Table of Contents

into in March 2011 provide greater flexibility by adjusting the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants for 2011. The amendments also increased the interest rate under the credit
facility by 0.25% and added a minimum liquidity covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum level of cash on hand, including accessibility borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility (as defined). We were in compliance with all
covenants under our amended debt agreements as of March 31, 2011. Our ability to generate sufficient operating income and positive cash flows from operations to maintain compliance under our debt agreements is dependent on our future financial
performance, which is subject to many factors beyond our control as outlined in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The timing of cash payments received under our customer arrangements is a primary factor impacting our sources of liquidity. Our HER and
Penn Foster divisions generate the largest portion of our cash flow from operations from retail classroom, on-line and tutoring courses. These customers usually pay us in advance or contemporaneously with the services we provide, thereby supporting
our short-term liquidity needs. Across HER and Penn Foster, we also generate cash from contracts with institutions such as schools, school districts and post secondary institutions which pay us in arrears. Typical payment performance for these
institutional customers, once invoiced, ranges from 60 to 90 days. Additionally, the long contract approval cycles and/or delays in purchase order generation with some of our contracts with large institutions or school districts can contribute to
the level of variability in the timing of our cash receipts.

Although we continue to believe that our cash and cash
equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for the next twelve months, we have experienced lower than expected profitability in our
HER and Penn Foster businesses and a higher than expected rate of cash expenditures in our new CEP ventures. As a result, our near term liquidity has been negatively impacted.

Accordingly, we have continued to take actions to increase profitability and liquidity, including divesting our community college business, aggressively pursuing opportunities to increase our operating
cash flows, improving operations efficiency and sales execution in our HER business, renegotiating certain contracts, introducing new product offerings in our Penn Foster division and addressing the rate of cash consumption associated with our NLC
strategic venture.

If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to maintain adequate liquidity, we may need to identify additional
sources of financing to fund our on-going operations and repay our long term obligations as they become due. There is no assurance that such additional sources of liquidity will be able to be obtained on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were
$259,000 as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of reduced profitability in our HER division and the loss of operating cash flow from the former SES Services business,
partially offset by lower cash interest payments.

Cash flows used for investing activities from continuing operations during
the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $9.7 million as compared to $4.7 million used during the comparable period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to the $5.8 million payment in February 2011 to NLC under our obligation for the
acquisition of the NLC license in 2010, partially offset by lower capital expenditures on furniture, fixtures and equipment and due to a Penn Foster post-closing working capital payment in 2010 that was not repeated in the current period. We expect
to fund the remaining payments for the NLC license in January 2012 ($5.0 million) and January 2013 ($5.0 million) from cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flow generated from operations.

Cash flows used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $2.1 million as compared to $7.7 million
provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash used for financing activities in 2011 included a $1.5 million scheduled principal payment under our term loan credit facility and an amendment fee of $566,000 paid
to lenders for the March 2011 debt amendments. Cash provided by financing activities in 2010 primarily consisted of $9.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock, offset by a $1.0 million scheduled principal payment
under our term loan credit facility and $922,000 of cash paid for debt issuance costs.

Cash flows used for discontinued
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $1.3 million as compared to $361,000 used for discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to cash expended to fund the
community college operations and capital expenditures during the current period. Additionally, cash flows for both periods include rent (net of sublease receipts) and real estate tax payments on the former K-12 Services facility in New York City.

Seasonality in Results of Operations

We experience, and we expect to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our revenue, results of operations and cash flow because the markets in which we operate are subject to seasonal
fluctuations based on the scheduled dates for standardized admissions tests and the typical school year. These fluctuations could result in volatility or adversely affect our stock price. We typically generate the largest portion of our HER revenue
in the third quarter. Penn Fosters revenue is typically generated more evenly throughout the year but marketing and promotional expenses are seasonally higher in the first quarter. SES revenue was typically concentrated in the fourth and first
quarters to more closely reflect the after school programs greatest activity during the school year.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of the outstanding debt under our credit facility, which bears interest, at the Companys option, at either LIBOR or a defined base rate plus an
applicable margin. At March 31, 2011 our total outstanding term loan balance under the credit facilities exposed to variable interest rates was $57.0 million. A 10% increase in the interest rate on this balance would increase annual interest
expense by $400,000. We do not carry any other variable interest rate debt.

##### Table of Contents

Revenue from our international operations and royalty payments from our international
franchisees constitute an insignificant percentage of our total revenue. Accordingly, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Scope of the Controls Evaluation

The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for
use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the controls evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This
type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and CFO, concerning the effectiveness of the controls can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Reports on
Form 10-K. Many of the components of our Disclosure Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by other personnel in our accounting, finance and legal functions. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our
Disclosure Controls and to modify them on an ongoing basis as necessary. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree
of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Conclusions

As a result of this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys Disclosure Controls were effective as of March 31, 2011.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

From
time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of
unfavorably to us, we do not believe that we are currently a party to any material legal proceedings other than as described below.

On January 21, 2011, the Princeton Review received a Civil Investigative Demand from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York, seeking documents and information relating
to the Supplemental Education Services provided by the Princeton Review in New York City during 2002-2010. The Princeton Review is cooperating with the U.S. Attorneys Office in providing the requested documents and information.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

We operate
in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010.

If the trading price of our common stock remains below $1 per share, our common stock could be delisted from
the NASDAQ Capital Market.

We must meet NASDAQs continuing listing requirements in order for our common stock
to remain listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The listing criteria we must meet include, but are not limited to, a minimum bid price for our common stock of $1.00 per share. Our minimum closing bid price per share fell below $1.00 for a period of
30 consecutive trading days during the first quarter of 2011. As a result, we received a deficiency letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market stating that the Company no longer meets the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing. If the
Company does not regain compliance within the 180 day grace period afforded by NASDAQ, the Companys shares of common stock could be delisted.

A delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market would make the trading market for our common stock less liquid, and would also make us ineligible to use Form S-3 to register the sale of shares of our common
stock or to register the resale of our securities held by certain of our security holders with the SEC, thereby making it more difficult and expensive for us to register our common stock or other securities and raise additional capital.

Except as described above, there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2010. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our
business operations. If any of the foregoing risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition and operating results would likely suffer.



|Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

We have issued restricted stock units to certain of our employees under the terms of our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, or outside of such plan. On the date that these restricted stock units vest,
we withhold, via a net exercise provision pursuant to the applicable restricted stock unit agreements, a number of vested shares with a value (based on the closing price of our common stock on such vesting date) equal to tax withholdings required by
us. In the first quarter of 2011 we withheld an aggregate of 10,105 shares of common stock at prices from $0.34 to $0.92 per share. Upon their withholding, these shares are retired to treasury stock.
