PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Our Company is
one of the largest for-profit post-secondary education companies in the United States and Canada, serving the large and growing segment of the population seeking to acquire career-oriented education. As of June 30, 2010, we had a student
enrollment of 110,580 and operated 101 schools in 25 states, and 17 schools in the province of Ontario, Canada. We offer a variety of diploma programs and associates, bachelors and masters degrees through a single operating segment
(refer to Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information). Our training program areas include healthcare, criminal justice, mechanical, trades, business and information technology.

On January 4, 2010 the Company completed its acquisition of Heald Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(Heald) for consideration of $395 million. Heald, through its subsidiaries, operates Heald College, a regionally accredited institution that prepares students for careers in healthcare, business, legal, information technology and other
growing fields, primarily through associate degree programs. Heald College operates 11 campuses and its results are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

Historically, we have grown our business through acquisitions as well as through organic growth. Organic growth consists of opening new
branch campuses, remodeling, expanding or relocating existing campuses and adopting curricula into existing colleges. Since the Companys formation in 1995, we have acquired 85 colleges including the Heald acquisition, (net of closures,
discontinued operations, and consolidations) and we have opened 33 branch campuses.

Operating Strategy

Key elements of our operating strategy include the following:

Emphasize Student Outcomes. We believe that positive student outcomes are a critical component of our long-term success.
Accordingly, we devote substantial resources to maintaining and improving our retention and placement rates. Modest increases in student retention can have a significant impact on our profitability, and high graduation and placement rates enhance a
schools reputation and the marketability of its programs. We have implemented a variety of student service programs, including orientation and tutoring, academic advising, ride-sharing and referral programs, all of which are designed to help
students complete their programs, graduate and achieve their career goals. We use a curriculum development team comprised of campus representatives, corporate program directors, instructional design professionals, and textbook publishers. For each
program area, each campus also uses advisory boards comprised of local business professionals to help ensure that our curricula meet employer requirements. We also maintain full-time career services personnel at our schools who are responsible for
helping our students obtain employment. Career services identifies prospective employers, helps students prepare resumes, conducts practice interviews, establishes externship programs and tracks students placement success.

Create an Effective Learning Environment. We view our students as customers and seek to provide a supportive learning environment
where student satisfaction and success are achieved. We offer a flexible schedule of classes, providing our students with the opportunity to attend classes throughout the day, as well as nights and weekends. Schools operate year-round, permitting
students to complete their course of study quickly. We maintain reasonable class sizes and offer support programs such as on-campus advising and tutoring. We also maintain a toll-free student hotline to address and help resolve student concerns.

Focus on Attractive Markets. We design our educational programs to benefit from favorable demographic and labor market
trends. Our schools offer programs in industries which are growing and offer promising career opportunities, including healthcare, criminal justice, mechanical, trades, business and information technology. Our geographic strategy is to build a
strong competitive position in attractive and growing markets where we can operate efficiently and benefit from favorable demographic trends.

Standardize Key Business Processes. To help ensure operational efficiency and a consistent student experience across our system of
campuses, we are currently standardizing key business processes. Thus far, we have implemented a standard admissions and student finance process and we have nearly completed the process of implementing a new student information system. Additionally,
we are beginning to bring in-house certain financial aid processing functions that have historically been handled for us by an external vendor.

Centralize Key Functions. In order to capitalize on the experience of our senior management team and to encourage best practices,
we have established a divisional management organization consisting of local school administrators, regional vice presidents of operations and admissions, and division presidents. Local and divisional operations are supported by centralized
functions supervised by senior management at our campus support center.

##### Table of Contents

Local school administrators retain control of the day-to-day operations of their individual
schools. Local school administrators are assisted by and receive oversight from regional vice presidents and division presidents and their respective support teams. The campus support center management team controls key operational functions such as
accounting, information technology, student financial services management, marketing, curriculum development, staff training, the call center, legal, treasury, internal audit, human resources, payroll, purchasing, real estate, and accreditation and
licensing which we believe enables us to achieve significant operating efficiencies.

Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy consists of the following components:

Enhance Growth at Existing Campuses

Integrated and Centralized Marketing Program. We employ an integrated marketing program which includes an extensive direct response
advertising campaign delivered through television, the Internet, newspaper, and direct mail. A professional staff at our campus support center manages the overall marketing program. The effectiveness of our marketing campaigns depends on timely and
accurate lead tracking.

Maximizing Core Programs. Our program strategy leverages our core curricula in such
disciplines as healthcare, trades, criminal justice and business. To maximize the adoption of core programs across our network of schools, we have developed detailed, campus-based plans that take into account each schools program mix, facility
capacity, and current and projected employer needs. In fiscal 2010, we implemented 70 such programs in our schools.

Facilities Enhancement and Expansion. We believe that modern and attractive facilities enhance the overall student learning
experience. We remodel, expand and relocate our existing colleges to ensure we have sufficient capacity to meet our expected enrollment demand, as well as to improve the location and appearance of our facilities. We expect to continue to
systematically remodel and relocate selected schools within their respective markets. During fiscal 2010 we remodeled, relocated, or expanded 43 colleges. As of June 30, 2010, the total square footage of all of our properties was approximately
5.6 million square feet.

Expand Online Education

Online education, or education delivered via the Internet, has become an increasingly important component of the higher education market.
We offer online learning to two categories of students: those attending online classes exclusively, and those attending a blend of traditional classroom and online courses. The majority of our students participating in online learning are now
registered in exclusively online programs.

We began enrolling exclusively online students through our Florida-based Everest
University schools in fiscal 2002. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, we started to offer exclusively online degrees through our regionally-accredited Everest College in Phoenix, Arizona. Online degree programs are offered in business, criminal
justice, accounting, higher education management, criminal investigations, applied management, homeland security, computer information science, and medical insurance billing and coding. In total, 20 accredited degrees are available exclusively
online at the masters, bachelors, and associates levels.

During fiscal 2010, we experienced a significant
increase in the number of students taking our online courses. Our online learning participation increased by approximately 44% to 261,679 course registrations in fiscal 2010. As of June 30, 2010, we offered 326 online courses through 44
campuses. We served approximately 23,396 exclusively online students as of June 30, 2010.

Make Strategic
Acquisitions

Since our founding in 1995, acquisitions have been an important part of our growth strategy. Of the 118
campuses operated as of June 30, 2010, 85 colleges have been acquired (net of closures, consolidations, or locations sold). To evaluate acquisition opportunities, we have established several criteria, such as scale, geography, program
offerings, accreditation and selected financial measurements.

On January 4, 2010, Corinthian completed the acquisition of Heald Capital, LLC. The
transaction was completed in accordance with a Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement, (the Purchase Agreement), dated October 19, 2009. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Corinthian acquired, directly or indirectly, all of the
limited liability company membership interests in Heald Capital, LLC (Membership Interests) by purchasing all of the outstanding capital stock of each of two holding companies and by purchasing Membership Interests directly from the
previous owners of Heald Capital, LLC for total consideration of $395 million in cash, subject to adjustment as defined in the Purchase Agreement. The consideration paid was financed via existing cash and borrowings of Corinthian.

Corinthian believes the acquisition is strategic given the experienced management team, strong operating metrics, regional accreditation
and diverse program offerings and through its expertise and financial commitments it will be able to continue to grow the student population and program offerings.

In addition to acquisition-related activity, we have developed an in-house capability to pursue other business development opportunities.
In particular, we are focused on developing federal sources of revenue outside of Title IV. Such sources include programs sponsored by the Department of Defense and the Department of Labor.

Establish Additional Locations

Since our initial public offering in February 1999, we have opened 37 branch campuses, of which 33 remain a part of our operations. Of the
37 branch campuses we have opened since February 1999, 2 were opened in each of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000, 4 were opened in each of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002, 6 were opened in fiscal 2003, 10 were opened in fiscal 2004, 5 were opened in fiscal
year 2005 and 3 were opened in fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2010, we opened 1 new branch campus, and, subject to regulatory constraints and other uncertainties, we expect to employ this growth strategy in fiscal 2011 and subsequent years. A key
advantage of this strategy is that students attending new campuses branched from existing campuses have immediate access to federally funded student financial aid. We believe that opening new branch campuses allows us to enter new geographic
markets, create additional capacity in existing markets and effectively leverage our infrastructure and our extensive investment in curricula.

Programs of Study

Our
diploma programs are intended to provide students with the requisite knowledge and job skills for entry-level positions in their chosen career. Our degree programs are primarily designed for career-oriented adults and to assist them in enhancing
their functional and professional skills. Our curriculum development team is responsible for maintaining high quality, market driven curricula. Our colleges also utilize advisory boards to help evaluate and improve the curriculum for each program
offered. These advisory boards are required to meet at least twice a year and are comprised of local industry and business professionals. Advisory board members provide valuable insight regarding changes in programs and suggest new technologies and
other factors that may enhance curriculum.

Our diploma curricula includes the following key programs: medical assisting,
medical insurance billing and coding, massage therapy, dental assisting, pharmacy technician, medical administrative assisting, automotive and diesel technology, HVAC, surgical technology, plumbing, electrical, licensed practical nursing,
electronics and computer technology. Our degree curriculum includes business administration, criminal justice, medical assisting, registered nursing, accounting, paralegal, marketing, computer information technology, legal assisting, hospitality
management, applied service management, film and video. At our Everest locations in Florida, Phoenix, AZ, Mesa, AZ, Springfield, MO and Ontario Metro, CA campuses, many associates degree programs also articulate into a bachelors degree
in the same course of study. Masters degrees are also offered at Everest Florida in business administration and criminal justice.

Diploma programs generally have a duration of 8-24 months, depending on the course of study. Associates degree programs have a
duration of 9-24 months, bachelors degree programs have a duration of 36-48 months and masters degree programs have a duration of 21 months. As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately 50% of students enrolled in diploma programs,
approximately 45% of students enrolled in associates programs, approximately 4% of students enrolled in bachelors programs and approximately 1% of students enrolled in masters programs.

Over the last three fiscal years we have consolidated multiple brand names to increase our companys overall visibility and gain the
marketing efficiencies associated with national advertising. As of August 13, 2010 all of our schools operated under one of three national brands, Everest, WyoTech, or Heald. The Everest brand was recently developed by the Company, WyoTech is a
well-established brand in automotive training, and Heald brings an increased presence in Northern California, Oregon and Hawaii, as well as a growth platform for campus-based and online regionally accredited programs. As of June 30, 2010, 101 out of
118 schools were operating under the Everest brand, 6 schools were operating under the WyoTech brand, and 11 schools were operating under the Heald brand.

Admissions

As of
June 30, 2010, we employed approximately 2,100 admissions representatives who work directly with prospective students to facilitate the admissions process. These representatives interview and advise students interested in specific careers and
are a key component of our effort to generate interest in our educational services. We conduct semi-annual student satisfaction surveys at our campuses in the United States in which students have consistently given high marks to our admissions
personnel for helpfulness, courtesy and accuracy of information. Because our success is highly dependent on the efficiency and effectiveness of our admissions process, we invest considerable resources to train our admissions representatives in
product knowledge, regulatory compliance, and customer service. We also employ various admissions supervisory and monitoring programs, and conduct student surveys which help us ensure compliance with both government regulations and our corporate
policies.

One of our objectives in the admissions process is to identify students who have the ability to succeed in our
schools. The majority of prospective students must pass a standardized admissions test. Most of our colleges in the United States have historically accepted non-high school graduates who can demonstrate an ability to benefit (ATB
students) from the program by passing certain tests which are required by the ED. As of June 30, 2010, ATB students accounted for approximately 15.1% of total enrollments in our U.S. schools, down from 23.8% at June 30, 2009. However, ATB
students are a higher risk population who complete their programs at a lower rate and default on their student loans at a higher rate than high school graduates. Accordingly, given the shift to a 3-year default measurement period, and the structural
changes in student lending over the past two years, we intend to stop enrolling ATB students into our U.S. Everest and WyoTech institutions starting on September 1, 2010. We will continue to help our currently enrolled ATB students finish their
programs and find employment. In addition, ATB students who dropped out of our programs will be allowed to re-enroll and continue their education.

Placement

Graduate
placement outcomes are critical to our colleges reputations and their ability to continue to successfully recruit new students. We maintain a career services department at each college and, as of June 30, 2010, employed approximately 750
individuals in this capacity. We require our career services personnel to work with students from the time they begin their courses of study until they are successfully placed in jobs for which they are trained. Our career services departments
assist students with resumes, help them develop a professional demeanor, conduct practice interview sessions, and identify prospective employers for the colleges graduates. Overall, we believe the efforts we devote to place our graduates have
achieved solid results in a difficult economic environment.

##### Table of Contents

Our colleges endeavor to obtain information regarding their students employment
following graduation. The reliability of that information depends, to a large extent, on the completeness and accuracy of the data provided to our colleges by graduates and their employers. Additionally, a dedicated team at the campus support center
conducts a verification process to check the accuracy of the placement information gathered by our campuses. Based on information received from these groups of people, we believe that approximately 73.1% of our graduates in calendar year 2009 who
were available for placement have been placed in a job for which they were trained by June 30, 2010 as calculated based on accrediting agency standards. The various accrediting agencies evaluate placement rates by individual institution and
program, and have different requirements regarding which students are considered available for placement. In defining the graduate cohort group for the purpose of calculating placement rates, certain accrediting agencies may exclude, for
example, graduates who are continuing their education, are in active military service or are deceased or disabled, and foreign students who are ineligible to work in the U.S. after graduation. Where applicable, we have also excluded those graduates
in our calculation of students available for placement and the graduate placement rate.

Tuition

Tuition rates for our diploma programs in the U.S. and Canada generally range from $7,250 to $36,100, depending upon the nature and length
of the program. Tuition for degree programs is charged on a credit hour basis and varies by college, typically ranging from $204 to $457 per undergraduate credit hour, depending upon the program of study (except for Everest College Phoenix Online
programs which are charged on a per quarter basis). Tuition for graduate programs ranges from $367 to $548 per credit hour. In addition to tuition, students may be required to purchase textbooks and other supplies as part of their educational
programs. We anticipate increasing tuition based on the market conditions prevailing at our individual colleges.

If a student
fails to complete the period of enrollment (such as a quarter, semester, academic year, or program), the institution may be required to refund tuition previously collected to the originating or disbursing agency or to the student directly, depending
on the source of the funds. Refunds are calculated in accordance with the applicable federal, state, provincial or institutional refund policies.

Campus Administration

We establish policies at our campus support center office, implement these policies, and monitor the performance of our schools through
the coordination of the president and chief operating officer, the division presidents, our regional vice presidents of operations, the regional vice presidents of admissions, and their respective support staffs and through our internal audit
department. The college presidents have the responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the schools. Each U.S. college generally employs the following management personnel which report to the college president:



| |  |  | an academic dean or education director;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | an admissions director;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | a career services director;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | a finance director, and
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | a student accounts director.
| | - |  | ----------------------------

Our schools in Canada are typically smaller and thus employ a smaller management team. As each schools enrollment grows, additional
management may be added.

Campus support center personnel manage several key functions, including accounting, information
technology, student financial services, financial aid, career services support, marketing, curriculum development, staff training, the call center, legal, treasury, internal audit, human resources, payroll, purchasing, real estate, and accreditation
and licensing. Among the principal oversight functions performed by campus support center personnel (in cooperation with our division, region and college management) are the annual operating budget, strategic planning and forecasting processes.
These processes establish goals for each college, assist in implementing strategies and establish performance expectations and corresponding incentives. Our senior management team monitors operating performance and profitability of each college and
has established periodic communication with the college presidents to review key performance indicators such as lead flow, starts, student population, retention, placement, compliance and other operating results to determine the proper course of
action.

As required by their respective regional accrediting agencies, Everest College Phoenix and Heald College are overseen
by boards of trustees that include a majority of independent representation to review academic integrity and autonomy of the institutions. These governing boards have broad oversight over the schools programs and operations, set the strategic
direction for the institutions, play an active role in policy-making, and review financial resources of their schools to ensure the institution is able to provide a sound educational program. In furtherance of that mission, each board of trustees
develops policies appropriate to the needs of the school and works closely with the respective schools administrations to, among other things, establish a climate for articulating and promoting the educational vision of the schools.

Competition

The post-secondary education market in the United States, consisting of approximately 7,000 accredited institutions, is highly fragmented
and competitive, with no institution having a significant market share. Many of the programs offered by our colleges are also offered by public and private non-profit institutions, as well as by many of the approximately 2,900 private, for-profit
colleges and schools. The post-secondary education market in Canada is also highly fragmented. Typically, the tuition charged by public institutions is less than tuition we charge for comparable programs because public institutions receive state
subsidies, donations and government research and other grants that are not available to our colleges. However, tuition at other private non-profit institutions is often higher than the tuition charged at our colleges.

We compete in most markets with other private, for-profit institutions offering similar programs. We believe our supportive learning
environment, smaller class sizes, large national scale, our faculty, facilities, and our emphasis on student services and placement allows us to compete effectively. In addition, many of our colleges have been operating in their markets for many
years, which has led to a substantial number of graduates who are working in the community and validate the quality of the colleges programs.

Facilities

Our campus
support center office is located in Santa Ana, California and our 118 campuses as of June 30, 2010, are located in 25 states and in the province of Ontario, Canada. Each campus provides our students with lecture halls, instructional labs,
libraries, Internet access and other facilities.

We actively monitor the capacity at our facilities and the expected future
facilities capacity required to accommodate campus growth initiatives. We provide for expansion and future growth at each campus through relocations to larger facilities and by expanding or remodeling existing facilities. From the beginning of
fiscal 2006 through fiscal 2010, approximately 14% of the campuses have been relocated and an additional approximately 64% of total campuses have been either expanded or remodeled. The following table reflects the number of campuses added, closed or
combined, and the number of campuses that have been relocated, enlarged or remodeled during each of the last five fiscal years ended and has been updated to reflect solely continuing operations:

|Enlarged or remodeled    |  | 42   |  | 5    |  | 10   |  | 6    |  | 12  

All but nine of our
facilities are leased. In addition, we lease our campus support center offices. Most of our leases have primary terms between 5 and 10 years with options to extend the lease, at our election.

Management and Employees

Our company is led by Jack D. Massimino, Executive Chairman of the Board, Peter C. Waller, Chief Executive Officer and Matt A. Ouimet,
President and Chief Operating Officer. They are assisted by the other executive officers of the Company: Kenneth S. Ord, Beth A. Wilson, William B. Buchanan, Mark L. Pelesh, Stan A. Mortensen, Robert C. Owen, and David A. Poldoian. In addition to
the executive officers, our management team includes other vice presidents and senior vice presidents who provide supervision of various functional areas and the presidents of our operating divisions. As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately
15,900 employees in the U.S. and Canada, of whom approximately 4,400 were part-time and approximately 900 were employed at or assigned to our campus support center.

Faculty

The faculty
members at our colleges are industry professionals and hold appropriate credentials in their respective disciplines. The recruitment of faculty occurs at the campus level. Local leadership is charged with identifying and retaining faculty who
possess the requisite academic and experiential qualifications to be successful in working with our students. Faculty are required and encouraged to pursue professional development activities to enhance their functional and classroom skills. We
believe the skill and dedication of our faculty is critical to the academic and professional success of our students. As of June 30, 2010, we employed approximately 5,600 faculty in the United States and Canada, approximately 1,840 of whom were
full-time employees. Faculty represents approximately 35% of our employees.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND FINANCIAL AID

U.S. Regulations

Students attending our schools in the U.S. finance their education through a combination of family contributions, individual resources
(including earnings from full or part-time employment), federal financial aid programs, and loans from the Company or third parties.

In connection with the receipt of federal financial aid by our students, we are subject to extensive regulation by governmental agencies
and licensing and accrediting agencies. In particular, the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA), and the regulations issued thereunder by the Department of Education (ED), subject us to significant regulatory
scrutiny in the form of numerous standards that schools must satisfy in order to participate in the various federal financial aid programs under Title IV of the HEA (Title IV). Under the HEA, regulatory authority is divided among each of
the following components: (i) the federal government, which acts through the ED; (ii) the accrediting agencies recognized by the ED; and (iii) state higher education regulatory bodies. Among other things, the HEA and ED regulations
require each of our U.S. institutions to: (i) maintain a rate of default by its students on federally guaranteed loans that are below a specified rate; (ii) limit the proportion of its revenue (on a cash basis) derived from the Title IV
programs; (iii) comply with certain financial responsibility and administrative capability standards; (iv) prohibit the payment of certain incentives to personnel engaged in student recruiting, admissions activities or the award of
financial aid; and (v) achieve prescribed completion and placement outcomes for short-term programs. The regulations, standards and policies of the regulatory agencies frequently change, and changes in, or new interpretations of, applicable
laws, regulations or standards could have material consequences for our accreditation, authorization to operate in various states, permissible activities, receipt of funds under Title IV programs and costs of doing business.

The HEA is required to be reauthorized on a periodic basis, which most recently occurred in August 2008. The 2008 reauthorization of the
HEA, called the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), made significant changes to the requirements governing the Title IV Programs, including changes that, among other things:



| |  |  | revised the calculation of cohort default rates regarding federally guaranteed student loans and the threshold rate at which sanctions will
be imposed against an institution;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adjusted the types of revenue that an institution is deemed to have derived from Title IV Programs for purposes of complying with the 90/10
Rule, and modified the sanctions imposed on an institution that derives too much revenue from Title IV Programs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased the annual maximum amount and availability of Pell grants;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | regulated the relationship between institutions and lenders that make education loans;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased the type and amount of information that an institution must disclose to current and prospective students and the public; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased the types of policies and practices that an institution must adopt and follow.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the U.S. Congress can change the laws affecting Title IV Programs in the annual federal appropriations bills and other laws
it enacts between the HEA reauthorizations. In May 2008, the U.S. Congress enacted the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 (Continued Access Act) which, among other things:



| |  |  | increased the annual and total amount of certain Title IV Program loans that students can receive;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expanded student eligibility for, and potentially increased the amount of funds available to fund grants under, certain Title IV Programs; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expanded parent eligibility and created payment deferment options for parent loans under the Title IV Programs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In February 2009, the U.S. Congress enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (American Recovery Act) which,
among other things, further increased the annual amount of funds available to fund grants under the Pell program.

We estimate that during fiscal 2010 approximately 84.7% of our students in the U.S. received
some federal Title IV financial aid. For purposes of calculating compliance with the 90/10 Rule under the HEOA, an institution is permitted, for a limited period of time, to (i) count as non-Title IV program revenue the additional $2,000 of
Stafford loans that became available starting in July 2008 under the Continued Access Act, and (ii) include more revenue derived from non-Title IV Programs, such as revenue from institutional loans under certain circumstances. The ability of
institutions to count the additional $2,000 of Stafford loans as non-Title IV revenue expires on July 1, 2011; the ability of institutions to count institutional loans as non-Title IV revenue expires July 1, 2012. Under these modified
90/10 calculations for the 2010 fiscal year, the Company derived approximately 81.9% of its net U.S. revenue (on a cash basis) from Title IV Programs. Excluding such temporary relief, approximately 89.8% of our net U.S. revenues (on a cash basis)
was derived from federal Title IV programs.

If any of our institutions were to lose its eligibility to participate in federal
student financial aid programs, the students at that institution would lose access to funds derived from those programs and would have to seek alternative sources of funds to pay their tuition and fees. Students in the U.S. obtain access to federal
student financial aid through an ED-prescribed application and eligibility certification process. Student financial aid funds are generally made available to students at prescribed intervals throughout their predetermined expected length of study.
Students typically use the funds received from the federal financial aid programs to pay their tuition and fees. The transfer of funds from the financial aid programs is to the students, who then apply those funds to the cost of their education. The
receipt of funds from federal financial aid programs reduces the students amount due to the institution, but does not affect the Companys revenue recognition.

Recently, Congress has increased its scrutiny of the for-profit educational sector. On June 17, 2010, the Education and Labor
Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives held a hearing to examine the manner in which accrediting agencies review higher education institutions policies on credit hours and program length. On June 24, 2010, the Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions Committee of the U.S. Senate (the HELP Committee) held the first in a series of hearings to examine the proprietary education sector and released a report, Emerging Risk : An Overview of
Growth, Spending, Student Debt and Unanswered Questions in For-Profit Higher Education. On August 4, 2010, the HELP Committee held the second hearing in its series, focusing on student recruitment at for-profit schools. Earlier, on
June 21, 2010, the Chairmen of each of these education committees, together with other members of Congress, requested the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a review and prepare a report with recommendations regarding
various aspects of the proprietary sector, including recruitment practices, educational quality, student outcomes, the sufficiency of integrity safeguards against waste, fraud and abuse in federal student aid programs and the degree to which
proprietary institutions revenue is composed of Title IV and other federal funding sources.

Prior to the HELP
Committees hearing on August 4, 2010, the GAO conducted a series of undercover investigations into the enrollment and recruiting practices at fifteen for-profit institutions of higher education in which GAO investigators with hidden cameras
posed as potential new student enrollees. We believe that two of our campuses, one of which was Everest College Phoenix, were among those visited by the GAO. At the HELP Committee hearing on August 4, 2010, the GAO provided testimony that
characterized the interactions between our campus personnel and the GAO investigators as deceptive or otherwise questionable. We have requested copies of the videotaped interactions between the GAO investigators and our campus personnel,
but our request was denied. Although impeded by this denial, we have nevertheless conducted a review of these allegations  assisted by outside counsel  and have not identified any intentional misconduct by our employees. We will
continue to review any evidence provided by the GAO and will take appropriate actions based on any new evidence we obtain.

Additionally, on August 12, 2010, the President of Everest College Phoenix received a letter from HLC requesting a response to the
allegations contained in the GAO report. In addition to seeking a response to the specific circumstances identified in the GAO report, HLC requested that Everest College Phoenix demonstrate that it has reasonable, sufficient, and effective
systems in place to assure appropriate control of employees engaged in the recruiting, marketing or admissions process. Everest College Phoenix is in the process of responding to HLCs requests.

On August 5, we received a request for information from the HELP Committee relating to the ongoing series of hearings. We believe this
request was extended to approximately thirty proprietary educational companies, including all such publicly traded companies. The request seeks information regarding how we recruit and enroll students, set program price or tuition, determine
financial aid including private or institutional loans, track attendance, handle withdrawal of students and return of Title IV dollars and manage compliance with the 90/10 rule. The request also seeks information regarding the number of students who
complete or graduate from our programs, how many of those students find work in their educational area, the debt levels of students enrolling and completing programs and information regarding the number of students who risk default within the cohort
default rate window.

In furtherance of this, the Committee has requested that we provide information about a broad spectrum
of our business, including detailed information relating to financial results, management, operations, personnel, recruiting, enrollment, graduation, student withdrawals, receipt of Title IV Program funds, institutional accreditation, regulatory
compliance and other matters. We intend to cooperate with the Committee. The Committee has requested that we produce a portion of the specified information by August 26, 2010 and the remainder of the information by September 16, 2010.

These hearings and the requested GAO review are not formally related to EDs rulemaking process that is currently
underway and described in Federal oversight of the Title IV Programs in the U.S. However, the hearings and the requested GAO review could affect the final rules or could lead to further investigations of proprietary schools and the
proposal of additional new regulatory requirements by the ED.

We cannot predict the extent to which, or whether, these
hearings and review will result in further investigations, legislation or rulemaking affecting our participation in Title IV Programs or other aspects of our business. If any laws or regulations are adopted that limit our participation in
Title IV Programs or the amount of student financial aid for which our students are eligible, our business could be adversely and materially impacted.

Accreditation for U.S. Schools

Accreditation is a voluntary non-governmental process by which institutions submit themselves to qualitative review by an organization of
peer institutions. There are three types of accrediting agencies: (i) national accrediting agencies, which accredit institutions without regard to geographical location; (ii) regional accrediting agencies, which accredit institutions
within their geographic areas; and (iii) programmatic accrediting agencies, which accredit or approve specific educational programs offered by institutions. Accrediting agencies primarily examine the academic quality of the instructional
programs offered at the institution, including retention and placement rates. Accrediting agencies also review the administrative and financial operations of the institution to ensure that it has the academic and financial resources to achieve its
educational mission. A grant of accreditation is generally viewed as certification that an institution and its programs meet generally accepted academic standards.

Pursuant to provisions of the HEA, the ED relies on accrediting agencies to determine whether an institution and its educational programs
are of sufficient quality to permit it to participate in Title IV Programs. The HEA specifies certain standards that all recognized accrediting agencies must adopt in connection with their review of post-secondary institutions and requires
accrediting agencies to submit to a periodic review by the ED as a condition of their continued recognition. All of our colleges located within the U.S. are accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the ED as depicted in the table below:



|                                                                                                                      |  |                              |  |                    |

The HEA requires accrediting agencies recognized by the ED to review many aspects of an institutions
operations in order to ensure that the education or training offered is of sufficient quality to achieve, for the duration of the accreditation period, the stated objectives of the education or training offered. Under the HEA, recognized accrediting
agencies must conduct regular reviews of the institutions they accredit. In addition to periodic accreditation reviews, institutions undergoing substantive changes, including a change of ownership, may be required to be reviewed by their accrediting
agency. Accrediting agencies also monitor institutions compliance during the term of their accreditation. If an accrediting agency believes that an institution may be out of compliance with accrediting standards, it may place the institution
on probation or a similar warning status or direct the institution to show cause why its accreditation should not be revoked. An accrediting agency may also require the institution to supply it with supplemental reports in order for the agency to
monitor one or more specific areas of the institutions performance, typically completion or graduate placement outcomes. This is commonly referred to as being on reporting status. Failure to demonstrate compliance with accrediting
standards in any of these instances could result in loss of accreditation. Being on probation, show cause, or reporting status may cause an accreditor to deny an institution permission, or otherwise delay approval, to open and commence instruction
at new locations or to add new programs.

Probation and Show Cause Orders. An accrediting agency probation or show
cause order may be issued based upon the agencys concerns that an accredited institution may be out of compliance with one or more accrediting standards. Probation or show cause orders afford the institution the opportunity to respond before
the institution loses accreditation. The institution may demonstrate that the concern is unfounded, that it has taken corrective action to resolve the concern, or that it has implemented an ongoing plan of action which is deemed appropriate to
resolve the concern. The accrediting agency may then vacate the probation or show cause order, continue the probation or show cause order or seek additional information through reports required of the institution. If the agencys concerns are
not resolved, it may act to withdraw accreditation from the institution. Institutions on probation or under show cause orders remain accredited while they are on probation. The institutions can continue to enroll new students, and students at the
affected institutions remain eligible to receive federal student financial aid.

On May 1, 2009, the Company received
notification from The Higher Learning Commission-A Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC) that Everest College Phoenix had been placed on probation. Everest College Phoenix consists of two ground
campuses and an online learning division. At June 30, 2010, the combined enrollment for Everest College Phoenix was 5,774 students. The probation action was initiated primarily related to governance issues, and questions about the institutions
autonomy with respect to Corinthians ownership and control of the institution. The institution has made numerous changes to comply with HLCs accreditation criteria and is committed to continuing this process to resolve HLCs
concerns. HLC indicated that the probationary process is a period during which it will verify that these changes have, in fact, occurred and effectively meet HLCs standards. On May 17-19, 2010, Everest College Phoenix hosted an HLC evaluation
team to verify whether these changes have occurred and effectively meet HLCs standards. In its report on a Comprehensive Evaluation Visit dated August 19, 2010, the evaluation team noted that while there have been some positive developments,
deficiencies in the institutions compliance with HLCs accreditation criteria remained unresolved. The evaluation team concluded that adverse action by HLC was warranted, and recommended withdrawal of accreditation of Everest College
Phoenix. The evaluation teams report is one of several steps in HLCs process of evaluating the institutions probationary status. Everest College Phoenix and the Company disagree with the evaluation teams conclusions and
intend to contest the teams recommendations before the Commission. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter with certainty. Since accreditation is required for an institution to be eligible to participate in the federal student
financial aid programs, the failure by Everest College Phoenix to satisfactorily resolve its probation with HLC could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Supplemental Reports. As of June 30, 2010, nine of our colleges were on
reporting status to their respective accrediting agencies. The required reports relate primarily to the completion, retention, and/or placement rates of the institutions students. In certain of these cases, the periodic supplemental reports
are required only with respect to particular programs at an institution, and not to the institutions overall completion or placement rates. We are working to improve these retention and placement rates in the identified programs at these
schools.

Federal Support for Post-Secondary Education in the U.S.

The federal government provides substantial support for post-secondary education through grants and loans to students who can apply the
funds received to pay for their educational costs at any institution certified by the ED as eligible to participate in the federally funded student financial aid programs. Since 1972, Congress has expanded the scope of the HEA by, among other
things, (i) providing that students attending proprietary institutions, such as our institutions, are eligible for assistance under the Title IV Programs, (ii) establishing a program for loans to parents of eligible students,
(iii) opening the Title IV Programs to part-time students, and (iv) increasing maximum loan limits and in some cases eliminating the requirement that students demonstrate financial need to obtain federally guaranteed loans. The Federal
Direct Loan Program (FDL) was also enacted, enabling students to obtain loans directly from the federal government rather than from commercial lenders.

Congress must reauthorize the student financial assistance programs of the HEA approximately every five to six years. On July 31,
2008, Congress passed the HEOA, which reauthorized and made numerous changes to the HEA and its programs. President Bush signed the HEOA on August 14, 2008. The HEA, as reauthorized and amended by the HEOA, continues the access of our
institutions and students to Title IV funds. In addition, changes made to the HEA will affect how our institutions comply with the requirement that they receive a certain proportion of their revenue from other than the Title IV programs and with the
cohort default rate requirement. Prior to the enactment of the HEOA, changes made by Congress have expanded the access of our students and institutions to Title IV funds by increasing loan limits for first and second year students and lifting
restrictions on on-line education programs and students.

Students at our U.S. institutions receive grants, loans and work
opportunities to fund their education under several of the Title IV Programs, of which, prior to June 30, 2010, the two largest were the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program and the Federal Pell Grant (Pell) program.
Our institutions also participate in the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) program, and some of them participate in the Federal Perkins loan program and the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program.

Most aid under the Title IV Programs is awarded on the basis of financial need, generally defined under the HEA as the
difference between the cost of attending an educational institution and the amount a student can reasonably contribute to that cost. All recipients of Title IV Program funds must maintain both a satisfactory grade point average and progress in a
timely manner toward completion of their program of study.

Pell. Pell grants are the primary component of the Title IV
Programs under which the ED makes grants to students who demonstrate financial need. Every eligible student is entitled to receive a Pell grant; there is no institutional allocation or limit. For the 2009-2010 award year, the maximum Pell grant
increased to $5,350. Amounts received by students enrolled in our institutions in the 2009-2010 award year under the Pell program equaled approximately 29.2% of our U.S. net revenue (on a cash basis). Effective July 1, 2010, the maximum Pell
grant increased to $5,550.

FSEOG. FSEOG awards are designed to supplement Pell grants for the neediest students. FSEOG
grants generally range in amount from $100 to $4,000 per year; however, the availability of FSEOG awards is limited by the amount of those

funds allocated to an institution under a formula that takes into account the size of the institution, its costs and the income levels of its students. We are required to make a 25% contribution
to students for all FSEOG awards disbursed. Resources for this institutional contribution may include institutional grants, scholarships and other eligible funds (i.e., funds from foundations and other charitable organizations) and, in certain
states, portions of state scholarships and grants. During the 2009-2010 award year, our contribution was met by approximately $2.2 million in funds from our institutions, funds from state scholarships and grants, and funds from foundations and other
charitable organizations. Amounts received by students in our institutions under the federal share (including the FSEOG match) of the FSEOG programs in the 2009-2010 award year equaled approximately 0.6% of our U.S. net revenue (on a cash basis).

FFEL AND FDL. Prior to June 30, 2010, the FFEL program consisted of Stafford Loans, which are subsidized (government
pays the interest while the student is in school and during a six-month grace period) and unsubsidized, and PLUS loans, which are made available to parents of students classified as dependents. Under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
(FDL) program, students may obtain loans directly from the ED rather than commercial lenders. The conditions on FDL loans are generally the same as on loans that were made under the FFEL program. Under the Stafford Loan program, during
fiscal years 2009 and 2010, students may borrow up to $3,500 for the first academic year, $4,500 for the second academic year and, in some educational programs, $5,500 for each of the third and fourth academic years in subsidized loans. PLUS loans
may be obtained by the parents of a dependent student in an amount not to exceed the difference between the total cost of that students education (including allowable expenses) and other aid to which that student is entitled. Students who are
classified as independent, and dependent students whose parents are unable to obtain PLUS loans, can increase their borrowing limits and receive additional unsubsidized Stafford loans. During fiscal years 2009 and 2010, students could obtain an
additional $4,000 in unsubsidized loans for each of the first and second academic years and, depending upon the educational program, an additional $5,000 for each of the third and fourth academic years. Effective July 1, 2009, such students may
obtain an additional $6,000 in unsubsidized loans for each of the first and second academic years, and an additional $7,000 for subsequent academic years. The obligation to begin repaying Stafford loans does not commence until six months after a
student ceases enrollment as at least a half-time student. Amounts received by students in our institutions under the Stafford program in the 2009-2010 award year equaled approximately 56.5% of our U.S. net revenue (on a cash basis). Amounts
received by students in our institutions under the PLUS program in the 2009-2010 award year equaled approximately 3.5% of our U.S. net revenue (on a cash basis).

In March 2010, Congress passed, and the President signed, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the
HCERA). The HCERA eliminated the FFEL program in favor of the FDL program effective as of July 1, 2010. While our institutions and students have been eligible to participate in the FDL program, we have significantly more experience in
participation in the FFEL program and the continuing transition to the FDL program for the majority of our students involves risks and uncertainty. Additionally, because HCERA eliminates the FFEL program, most private lenders have exited the student
loan market and those private lenders remaining may be unwilling to make private loans to our students.

These changes may
result in higher administrative costs for schools, including us, related to student loan administration. If the costs of Title IV loans increase and if availability of alternate student financial aid decreases, students may decide not to enroll in a
postsecondary institution, which could have a material adverse effect on our enrollments, revenues, and results of operation. Any further actions by the Congress, ED or other regulatory bodies that significantly reduces funding for Title IV Programs
or the ability of our students to participate in those program, reduces alternate sources of student financial aid, or establishes different or more stringent requirements for participation in Title IV Programs could have a material adverse effect
on our student population, course offerings, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Perkins.
Eligible undergraduate students may borrow up to $5,500 under the Perkins program during each award year, with repayment delayed until nine months after the borrower ceases to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Perkins loans are made
available to those students who demonstrate a financial need. Perkins loans are made from a revolving account, 75% of which was initially capitalized by the ED. Subsequent federal capital contributions, with an institutional contribution of
one-third of the federal contribution, may be received if an institution meets certain requirements. Each institution collects payments on Perkins loans from its former students and loans those funds to currently enrolled students. Collection and
disbursement of Perkins loans is the responsibility of each participating institution. During the 2009-2010 award year, the amount of Perkins loan repaid by former students totaled approximately $3.6 million.

In the 2009-2010 award year, we had no required matching contribution. The Perkins loans disbursed to students in our institutions in the
2009-2010 award year equaled approximately 0.2% of Our U.S. net revenue (on a cash basis). Congress is currently considering legislative proposals to make major changes to the Perkins program. We cannot predict whether these proposals will be
enacted and if they will be beneficial to our students.

FWS.Under the FWS program, federal funds are made available
to pay up to 75% of the cost of compensation for part-time employment of eligible students, based on their financial need, to perform work for the institution or for off-campus public or non-profit organizations. At least 7% of an institutions
FWS allocation must be used to fund student employment in community service positions. FWS earnings are given directly to the student for their own discretionary use.

Federal Oversight of the Title IV Programs in the U.S.

The substantial amount of federal funds disbursed through the Title IV Programs, coupled with the large numbers of students and
institutions participating in those programs, have led the U.S. Congress to require the ED to engage in a substantial level of regulatory oversight of institutions to ensure that public funds are properly used. Each institution which participates in
the Title IV Programs must annually submit to the ED both an audit by an independent accounting firm of that institutions compliance with the Title IV Program requirements, and audited financial statements. The ED also conducts compliance
reviews, which include on-site evaluations, and directs student loan guaranty agencies to conduct additional reviews relating to the FFEL programs. In addition, the Office of the Inspector General of the ED conducts audits and investigations of
institutions in certain circumstances. Under the HEA, accrediting agencies and state licensing agencies also have responsibilities for overseeing institutions compliance with Title IV Program requirements. As a result, each participating
institution, including each of our U.S. institutions, is subject to frequent and detailed oversight and must comply with a complex framework of laws and regulations or risk being required to repay funds or becoming ineligible to participate in the
Title IV Programs. In addition, the ED periodically revises its regulations and changes its interpretation of existing laws and regulations.

On June 18, 2010, ED issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the June NPRM) following a year-long negotiated rulemaking
process between ED and the higher education community on 14 Title IV Program integrity issues, which include lender and general student loan issues, accreditation, discretionary grants, general and non-loan programmatic issues, safe harbors under
incentive compensation rules for admissions representatives, and standards regarding state authorization for purposes of Title IV Program eligibility.

The June NPRM addressed 13 of 14 program integrity issues in their entirety and partially addressed the
14thissue, which involves the definition of gainful
employment; the ED issued a separate NPRM on gainful employment requirements on July 26, 2010 (the July NPRM). Public comment was due on the June NPRM no later than August 2, 2010 and for the July NPRM is due no later than
September 9, 2010. The ED has stated that it intends to review all comments it receives with the goal of publishing a final rule by November 1, 2010, which would take effect beginning July 1, 2011.

The two proposed rules that could have the most significant potential impact for our business are:



| |  |  | the elimination of certain safe harbors regarding the prohibition on the payment of incentive compensation to employees involved in student
recruitment, enrollment, admissions, and financial aid; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the adoption of a definition of gainful employment for purposes of the requirement for Title IV student financial aid that a program
prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation, with that definition linked to a two part test: measuring the relationship between the debt students incur and their incomes after program completion; and measuring the percentage
of all enrollees, regardless of completion, who repay principal on their loans during a measurement period.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot predict the outcome of this rulemaking process at this time, or predict with certainty the impact of any new regulations on our
operations. These rules could affect the manner in which we conduct our business, and compliance with these rules, (which if adopted could be effective as early as July 1, 2011), could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Cohort Default Rates. A significant requirement imposed by Congress
is a limitation on participation in the Title IV Programs by institutions whose former students defaulted on the repayment of federally guaranteed or funded student loans at an excessive rate (Cohort Default Rates). Many
institutions, including all of our institutions within the U.S., have responded by implementing aggressive student loan default management programs aimed at reducing the likelihood of students failing to repay their federally guaranteed loans in a
timely manner. Currently, an institutions Cohort Default Rates under the FFEL and FDL programs are calculated on an annual basis as the rate at which student borrowers scheduled to begin repayment on their loans in one federal fiscal year
default on those loans by the end of the next federal fiscal year. Under the HEOA a separate calculation will be performed that will add an additional federal fiscal year of borrowers repayment performance. An institution that participates in
both the FFEL and FDL programs receives a single weighted average Cohort Default Rate in place of an FFEL or FDL Cohort Default Rate. Any institution whose Cohort Default Rate equals or exceeds 25% for any one of the three most recent
federal fiscal years under the current method of calculation may be found by the ED to lack administrative capability, and on that basis, placed on provisional certification status for up to three years. Additionally, any such institution may be
required by its accrediting agency to provide additional information or supplemental reports. Provisional certification status does not limit an institutions access to Title IV Program funds but does subject that institution to closer review
by the ED and possible summary adverse action if that institution commits violations of the Title IV Program requirements. Provisional certification may also impede an institutions ability to grow by limiting its ability to add new programs
and locations. Any institution whose Cohort Default Rates equal or exceed 25% for three consecutive years under the current calculation may lose eligibility to participate in the FDL and the Pell grant programs for the remainder of the federal
fiscal year in which the ED determines that such institution has lost its eligibility and for the two subsequent federal fiscal years. Pursuant to the HEOA, this percentage will increase to 30% after three years of Cohort Default Rates calculated
with the additional federal fiscal year are available, and then become applicable to the imposition of sanctions. In addition, an institution whose Cohort Default Rate for any federal fiscal year exceeds 40% may have its eligibility to participate
in the FDL program limited, suspended or terminated. Since the calculation of Cohort Default Rates involves the collection of data from many non-governmental agencies (i.e., lenders, private guarantors or servicers), as well as the ED, the HEA
provides a formal process for the review and appeal of the accuracy of Cohort Default Rates before the ED takes any action against an institution based on such rates.

In order to improve our overall default rates, we have implemented a multi-faceted cohort default management program in which we
increased our overall spending in this area by more than $10 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This program includes the following: a contact management system to assist in reaching students who are no longer in school; an internal
department focused primarily on early stage delinquencies; an expanded program of entrance and exit counseling and financial literacy training for current students; and the use of outside firms and internal resources to reach borrowers and assist
them in contacting their lenders and getting help with alternatives to default, including income-based repayment, forbearance and deferral.

|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally ED publishes draft cohort default rates in February of each year for the repayment period that ended the prior
September 30. The preliminary rates are subject to review by the institution, after which the ED publishes final cohort default rates in the following September. On that schedule, the ED published draft cohort default rates for the students who
entered repayment between October 1, 2007 and September 30, 2008 (the 2008 Cohort) in February 2010. Of our 49 total institutions, 9 institutions exceeded the 25% threshold during the 2008 Cohort year, and no institutions
exceeded the 40% threshold. The 2008 Cohort year was the first year since the Company went public in 1999 that any of our institutions exceeded the 25% threshold for any reporting period. The Company expects ED to publish final cohort default rates
for the 2008 cohort in September 2010.

We monitor on an ongoing basis the preliminary data about cohorts which are in the
process of repayment, and are currently monitoring the repayment and default status of students who entered repayment during the federal fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 (the 2009 Cohort), and the federal fiscal year ending September
30, 2010 (the 2010 Cohort). The draft cohort default rates for the 2009 Cohort will not be available until February 2011. However, based on currently available information, we believe the number of our institutions which could exceed
EDs 25% default rate threshold for the 2009 Cohort will be substantially higher than for the 2008 Cohort, in which nine of our institutions exceeded the 25% default rate threshold.

Prior to the credit crisis in 2008, three types of entities played a role in managing student loan defaults in the FFEL Program: lenders
participating in the FFEL Program, such as Sallie Mae; guaranty agencies; and post-secondary institutions such as ours. Since the credit crisis in 2008, many student loan portfolios have been put, or sold, to the federal government by
lenders that either went out of business or could no longer fund their FFEL program loans. Lenders still in existence became servicing agents for the loans held by the government. Accordingly, guaranty agencies no longer play a role in default
management and lenders roles have been significantly reduced. In addition, since May 2008, ED has distributed put loans to multiple servicers, and many of our students have loans with more than one servicing organization. This has
made our default prevention efforts more complicated and difficult. Taken together, the structural changes in student lending have significantly reduced the level of default management activity previously provided by lenders and guaranty agencies.
These changes have also negatively affected the timeliness and accuracy of federal databases and thus hindered the Companys efforts at data collection and analysis.

Because of the foregoing factors, and the fact that we expect some of our institutions to exceed the 25% threshold for both the 2008
Cohort and the 2009 Cohort, we can no longer predict that none of our institutions will exceed the 25% threshold for three consecutive years. Although the measurement periods for the 2009 Cohort and the 2010 Cohort do not end until September 30,
2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, we now believe that up to three of our institutions that exceeded EDs 25% default rate threshold for the 2008 Cohort could exceed the 25% threshold for three consecutive years. Under EDs current
two-year default measurement methodology, institutions which exceed the 25% threshold for three consecutive years, or 40% in one year, become ineligible to participate in Title IV programs. The three institutions most at risk of exceeding the 25%
threshold for three years in a row had 6,258 students as of June 30, 2010, and represented 6.4% of our net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Additionally, we expect the higher two-year rates for the 2009 Cohort to translate into substantially elevated three-year rates for the
same cohort, draft results for which we expect to receive in February 2012. Thus, we expect a majority of our institutions to exceed the 30% threshold under the new 3-year measurement for the 2009 Cohort. Sanctions do not become applicable for the
3-year measurement until 2014, at which time final rates will have been published under the three-year measurement for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Cohorts. We expect to continue our default prevention efforts in order to attempt to improve default rates
for the 2010 and 2011 Cohorts during their applicable repayment periods, but it is too early to make predictions about the success of those efforts. Accordingly, we can provide no assurances that our efforts will be successful, and we are unable to
predict whether any, or how many, of our institutions will ultimately have cohort default rates in excess of 30% for three years in a row under the three-year measurement methodology.

In addition, if an institutions Cohort Default Rate for loans under the Perkins program exceeds 15% for any federal award year
(i.e., July 1 through June 30), that institution may be placed on provisional certification status for up to three years. Eleven of our institutions have Perkins program Cohort Default Rates in excess of 15% for students who were scheduled
to begin repayment in the 2008/2009 federal award year, the most recent year for which such rates have been calculated. Of the eleven, only one has provisional certification status which was due to a high Perkins Cohort Default Rate. During fiscal
2010, Perkins loans amounted to a very small percentage of the total cash revenues of the corporation but were still a useful funding source for those schools that participate and make use of those funds. The Perkins program Cohort Default Rates for
these institutions generally range from less than 10% to the mid-fifties. Historically, provisional certification due to excessive Perkins program Cohort Default Rates has not had a material adverse effect on our business.

Regulatory Oversight. The HEA provides for a three-part regulatory framework, generally referred to as the Triad, to provide
regulatory oversight of post-secondary education institutions. The first part of the Triad consists of accrediting agencies which review and accredit our campuses. Their examinations pertain to such areas as student achievement, curriculum, faculty,
facilities, equipment, admissions, financial responsibility and timeliness of student refunds. The Triad provisions also require each accrediting agency recognized by the ED to undergo comprehensive periodic reviews by the ED to ascertain whether
such accrediting agency is adhering to required standards.

The second part of the Triad involves the standards to be applied
by the ED in evaluating the financial responsibility and administrative capability of institutions participating in the Title IV Programs. In addition, the Triad mandates that the ED periodically review the eligibility and certification to
participate in the Title IV Programs of every such eligible institution. By law, all institutions are required to undergo a recertification review at least every six years, although the ED may recertify an institution for a shorter time period.
Under these standards, each of our institutions is evaluated by the ED on a routine basis. A denial of recertification would preclude an institution from continuing to participate in the Title IV Programs.

The third part of the Triad involves approvals by state education agencies with jurisdiction over educational institutions. State
requirements are important to an institutions eligibility to participate in the Title IV Programs since an institution must be licensed or otherwise authorized to operate in the state in which it offers education in order to be certified as
eligible. The level of regulatory oversight varies substantially from state to state. State laws establish standards for instruction, qualifications of faculty, location and nature of facilities, financial policies and responsibility and other
operational matters. State laws and regulations may limit our ability to obtain authorization to operate in certain states, to award degrees or diplomas, or offer new degree programs. Certain states prescribe standards of financial responsibility
that are different from those prescribed by the ED. We believe that each of our campuses is in substantial compliance with state authorizing and licensure laws.

ED historically has determined that an institution is licensed or otherwise authorized in order to be certified as eligible to
participate in Title IV Programs if the institutions state does not require the institution to obtain licensure or authorization to operate in the state. In the June NPRM, ED proposed new regulations that would consider an institution to be
legally authorized by a state if (1) the authorization is given to the institution specifically to offer programs beyond secondary education, (2) the authorization is subject to adverse action by the state and (3) the state has a process to review
and appropriately act on complaints concerning an institution and enforces applicable state laws. The proposed regulations present EDs view that a state is expected to take an active role in approving an institution, and that a state should
not defer all, or nearly all, of its oversight responsibilities to accrediting agencies for approval of institutions. We cannot predict the form of the regulations which ED ultimately may adopt. If ED adopts these regulations as proposed, which
could become legally effective as early as July 1, 2011, certain of our campuses may be required to obtain additional or revised state authorizations to remain certified as eligible to participate in Title IV Programs. If we are unable to obtain
additional or revised state authorizations, students at certain of our campuses may be unable to access Title IV Program funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Everest College Phoenix is accredited by HLC. In December 2009, ED issued an Alert Memorandum, calling into question
HLCs compliance with the applicable ED regulations related to HLCs status as recognized by ED. Specifically, EDs Office of the Inspector General (OIG) asserted that HLC did not make appropriate assessments as to credit
hours with respect to the distance education programs at an HLC-accredited institution. As such, the OIG recommended that ED take action to determine whether HLC is in compliance with federal regulations related to the recognition of accrediting
agencies and, if ED determines that if HLC is not in compliance with such regulations, take action to limit, suspend, or terminate HLCs recognition by ED. Thereafter, in May 2010, the OIG issued a management report to HLC in which the OIG
found that HLC does not have an established definition of credit hour or minimum requirements for program length and the assignment of credit hours, which the OIG asserted could result in inflated credit hours, the improper designation of full-time
student status, and the over-awarding of Title IV Program funds. We are unable to speculate if or how this matter will be resolved and whether it could impact us or other HLC-accredited institutions if ED were to limit, suspend, or terminate
HLCs recognition as an accrediting agency.

If any of our campuses were to lose their accreditation, the Company would
continue to generate revenues from continuing students, but would consider teaching out these campuses as they would be significantly competitively disadvantaged compared to other schools where students are eligible to receive federal student
financial aid. During any teach-out process, the Companys revenue would decline more rapidly than operating expenses and the Company would expect to incur operating losses at those campuses. The Company could also expect to incur increased bad
debt expense if students no longer have access to federal financial aid. Additionally, if the Company were to lose accreditation at one or more of its schools to which it has ascribed value for accreditation as part of purchase accounting, the
Company would test the amounts it had allocated to such assets for impairment and would take an impairment charge, if necessary.

We must be licensed or otherwise authorized to operate in each state where we offer education in order to be certified as eligible to
participate in Title IV Programs. ED historically has determined that an institution is licensed or otherwise authorized in order to be certified as eligible to participate in Title IV Programs if the institutions state does not require the
institution to obtain licensure or authorization to operate in the state. In the June NPRM, ED proposed new regulations that would consider an institution to be legally authorized by a state if (1) the authorization is given to the institution
specifically to offer programs beyond secondary education, (2) the authorization is subject to adverse action by the state and (3) the state has a process to review and appropriately act on complaints concerning an institution and enforces
applicable state laws. The proposed regulations present EDs view that a state is expected to take an active role in approving an institution, and that a state should not defer all, or nearly all, of its oversight responsibilities to
accrediting agencies for approval of institutions. We cannot predict the form of the regulations which ED ultimately may adopt. If ED adopts these regulations as proposed, which could become legally effective as early as July 1, 2011, certain of our
campuses may be required to obtain additional or revised state authorizations to remain certified as eligible to participate in Title IV Programs. If we are unable to obtain additional or revised state authorizations, students at certain of our
campuses may be unable to access Title IV Program funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Compliance with Regulatory Standards and Effect of Regulatory Violations. Our schools
are subject to audits and program compliance reviews by various external agencies, including the ED, state authorizing agencies, student loan guaranty agencies and accrediting agencies. The HEA and its implementing regulations also require that an
institutions administration of Title IV Program funds be audited annually by an independent accounting firm. The resulting audit report must be submitted to the ED for review. If the ED or another regulatory agency determined that one of our
institutions improperly disbursed Title IV Program funds or violated a provision of the HEA or the EDs regulations, that institution could be required to repay such funds, and could be assessed an administrative fine. The ED could also subject
the institution to a heightened level of monitoring, under which the institutions federal funding requests would be more carefully reviewed by the ED, or the ED could transfer the institution from the advance system of receiving Title IV
Program funds to the reimbursement system, under which an institution must document the students eligibility for Title IV Program funds before receiving such funds from the ED. Violations of Title IV Program requirements could also subject us
or our schools to other civil and criminal penalties.

On May 1, 2009, the Company received notification from The Higher
Learning CommissionA Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC) that Everest College Phoenix had been placed on probation. Everest College Phoenix consists of two ground campuses and an online
learning division. At June 30, 2010, the combined enrollment for Everest College Phoenix was 5,774 students, and combined revenue was approximately 5.8% of the Companys total net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The
probation action was initiated primarily related to governance issues and questions about the institutions autonomy with respect to Corinthians ownership and control of the institution. The institution has made numerous changes to comply
with HLCs accreditation criteria and is committed to continuing this process to resolve HLCs concerns. HLC indicated that the probationary process is a period during which it will verify that these changes have, in fact, occurred and
effectively meet HLCs standards. On May 17-19, 2010, Everest College Phoenix hosted an HLC evaluation team to verify whether these changes have occurred and effectively meet HLCs standards. In its report on a Comprehensive Evaluation
Visit dated August 19, 2010, the evaluation team noted that while there have been some positive developments, deficiencies in the institutions compliance with HLCs accreditation criteria remained unresolved. The evaluation team concluded
that adverse action by HLC was warranted, and recommended withdrawal of accreditation of Everest College Phoenix. The evaluation teams report is one of several steps in HLCs process of evaluating the institutions probationary
status. Everest College Phoenix and the Company disagree with the evaluation teams conclusions and intend to contest the teams recommendations before the Commission. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter with certainty.
Since accreditation is required for an institution to be eligible to participate in the federal student financial aid programs, the failure by Everest College Phoenix to satisfactorily resolve its probation with HLC could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

From time to time certain of our institutions have
been the subject of program reviews by ED. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and the first quarter of fiscal 2009, ED conducted site visits at our campuses in Fremont, CA, Reseda, CA, Tampa, FL (including its additional locations in Orange
Park and Brandon, FL and its online operations), Gardena, CA and the online division of Everest College Phoenix. Also, in July 2010, ED conducted a site visit at our campus in Colorado Springs, CO, and, in August 2010, ED announced another site
visit for the online operations of the Tampa, FL Campus. Site visits are the first step in the program review process. ED then prepares a program review report, the institution has the opportunity to respond, and ED issues a Final Program Review
Determination, which may be appealed. We have received Final Determination letters regarding EDs program reviews at the Reseda, CA campus, the Gardena, CA campus, the Tampa campuses and the Tampa online operations (with respect to the first
site visit in the first quarter of fiscal 2009), all of which contained no material adverse findings and imposed no fines, penalties, or other liabilities. We have not yet received a program review report with respect to the site visit at our
Fremont, CA and Colorado Springs, CO campuses, or the announced, but not yet complete, site visit to our Tampa online operation.

In April 2010, we received EDs program review report (the Report) for Everest College Phoenix, including the online
division and the two ground campuses in Phoenix and Mesa, AZ. The Report maintains that Everest College Phoenix has failed to make students aware of the total amounts of financial aid for which they were entitled, failed to accurately inform
students of the program costs, and delayed

##### Table of Contents

disbursements of Title IV funds. The report also contains findings regarding inadequate documentation, verification and availability of records for ED review, and the failure to make certain
disbursements. In the Report, ED characterizes certain of these findings as misrepresentations by Everest College Phoenix to its students, as a breach of fiduciary duty and as evidencing an intentional evasion of the 90/10 requirements. We disagree
with these characterizations. We are in the process of conducting a factual investigation of the findings as well as responding to EDs requests for additional information with respect to certain of the findings. Based upon our investigation
and responses to date, we believe we have a reasonable basis to dispute certain of the findings. We have addressed our differences with respect to certain of the findings in an initial submission to ED, and we intend to address other findings in a
subsequent submission to ED. We will continue to cooperate fully with ED in its review.

ED will review our response to the
Report and ultimately will issue a Final Determination letter regarding the program review, setting forth its final findings as well as the action it intends to take based on those findings. If ED were to make significant findings of non-compliance
in its Final Determination letter, it could result in the imposition of significant fines, penalties or other liabilities on Everest College Phoenix, including, without limitation, an action against Everest College Phoenix on the limitation,
suspension or termination of its participation in Title IV programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We are unable to predict when ED will complete its review, as
program reviews may often take several months or years to reach final resolution.

We are continuing to cooperate with all of
the outstanding program reviews. We do not believe that any of our currently pending program reviews with the ED are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, if the ED were to make significant findings of
non-compliance by any of our schools in any ongoing or future program review, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Starting in late 2008, EDs OIG began an audit of our Everest Institute in Brighton, MA, as well as the WyoTech Boston, MA campus
that was sold during May 2008, to determine whether agreements between those institutions and lenders for the period of July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008 were in compliance with the HEA. On April 26, 2010, we received draft
audit reports from the OIG for each of these institutions. In these reports, the OIG did not identify any noncompliance by either institution with the HEA during our ownership, but did conclude that two lenders entered into agreements with us during
the relevant period that did not comply with the HEAs prohibitions on offering or paying inducements to institutions to secure loan applicants or offering FFELP loans as an inducement for a borrower to purchase another product from a lender.
The draft audit reports indicate that both lenders have been provided with the results of the draft audit reports and both have responded that they do not concur with the results. On August 4, 2010, we received the OIGs final audit report
on the Everest Institute in Brighton, MA, and the OIG again identified no noncompliance with the HEA by that institution.

Significant violations of Title IV Program requirements by us or any of our institutions could be the basis for a proceeding by the ED to
limit, suspend, or terminate the participation of the affected institution in the Title IV Programs. Generally, such a termination extends for 18 months before the institution may apply for reinstatement of its participation. There is no proceeding
pending to fine any of our institutions or to limit, suspend, or terminate any of our institutions participation in the Title IV Programs, and we have no reason to believe that any such proceeding is contemplated. Any such action that
substantially limited our schools participation in the Title IV Programs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

Financial Responsibility Standards. All institutions participating in the Title IV Programs must satisfy a series of specific
standards of financial responsibility. Institutions are evaluated for compliance with those requirements in several circumstances, including as part of the EDs recertification process and also annually as each institution submits its audited
financial statements to the ED. As part of the evaluation of an institutions financial responsibility, the ED calculates three financial ratios for an institution: an equity ratio, a primary reserve ratio, and a net income ratio. Each ratio is
scored separately and then combined to determine the institutions financial responsibility. If an institutions composite score is below the minimum requirement for unconditional approval (which is a score of 1.5) but within a designated
threshold level (the Zone, which is 1.0 to 1.4), such institution may take advantage of an alternative that allows it to continue to participate in the Title IV Programs for up to three years under additional monitoring and reporting
procedures but without having to post a letter of credit in favor of the ED. If an institutions composite score falls below the minimum threshold level of 1.0 or is in the Zone for more than three consecutive years, the institution may be
required to post a letter of credit in favor of the ED.

For fiscal 2010, our calculations reflect that all of our schools
exceed the requirements for financial responsibility on an individual basis, with composite scores ranging from 1.5 to 3.0. For purposes of performing such calculations on an individual school basis, the Company makes certain allocations of
corporate cash to the individual campuses. Also, our Company, on a consolidated basis, meets the requirements with a composite score of 1.7.

An institution that is determined by the ED not to have met the standards of financial responsibility is nonetheless entitled to
participate in the Title IV Programs if it can demonstrate to the ED that it is financially responsible on an alternative basis. An institution may do so by posting a surety either in an amount equal to 50% (or greater, as the ED may require) of the
total Title IV Program funds received by students enrolled at such institution during the prior year or in an



24

##### Table of Contents

amount equal to 10% (or greater, as the ED may require) of such prior years funds if the institution also agrees to provisional certification and to transfer to the reimbursement or cash
monitoring system of payment for its Title IV Program funds. The ED has interpreted this surety condition to require the posting of an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the ED.

Under a separate standard of financial responsibility, if an institution has made late Title IV refunds to students in its prior two
years, the institution is required to post a letter of credit in favor of the ED in an amount equal to 25% of the total Title IV Program refunds paid by the institution in its prior fiscal year. As of July 1, 1997, this standard was modified to
exempt an institution that has not been found to make late refunds to 5% or more of its students who were due refunds in either of the two most recent fiscal years and has not been cited for a reportable condition or material weakness in its
internal controls related to late refunds in either of its two most recent fiscal years. Based on this standard, we currently have outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.7 million because of late refunds at 4 of
our institutions. There can be no assurance that, upon review by the ED, we will not be required to post additional letters of credit in favor of the ED on behalf of the affected colleges.

Restrictions on Acquiring or Opening Additional Schools and Adding Educational Programs.An institution which undergoes a change
of ownership resulting in a change in control, including all of the institutions that we have acquired or will acquire, must be reviewed and recertified for participation in the Title IV Programs under its new ownership. If an institution is
recertified following a change of ownership, it will be on a provisional basis. During the time an institution is provisionally certified, it may be subject to closer review by the ED and to summary adverse action for violations of Title IV Program
requirements and may be impeded in expanding, but provisional certification does not otherwise limit an institutions access to Title IV Program funds. Institutions can also be placed on provisional certification primarily as a result of late
refunds, financial aid audit findings and other miscellaneous matters. As of June 30, 2010, nine of our institutions were included in an outstanding letter of credit of $15.8 million due to a change of ownership in 2007. The letter of credit
was released in July 2010. Four institutions covering 10 campuses were on provisional certification for other reason.

The HEA
generally requires that proprietary institutions be fully operational for two years before applying to participate in the Title IV Programs. However, under the HEA and applicable regulations, an institution that is certified to participate in the
Title IV Programs may establish an additional location and apply to participate in the Title IV Programs at that location without reference to the two-year requirement, as long as such additional location satisfies all other applicable Title IV
Program participation eligibility requirements. Our expansion plans are based, in part, on our ability to acquire schools that can be recertified and to open additional locations of existing institutions.

Generally, if an institution is eligible to participate in the Title IV Programs and adds an educational program after it has been
designated as an eligible institution, the institution must apply to the ED to have the additional program designated as eligible. However, an institution is not obligated to obtain ED approval of an additional program that leads to an
associates, bachelors or masters degree if the institution has already been approved to offer programs at that degree level or the institution prepares students for gainful employment in the same or related recognized occupation as
an educational program that has previously been designated as an eligible program at that institution and meets certain minimum length requirements. Further, short-term educational programs, which generally consist of those programs that provide at
least 300 but less than 600 clock hours of instruction, are eligible only for FFEL funding and only if they have been offered for a year and the institution can demonstrate, based on an attestation by its independent auditor, that at least 70% of
all students who enroll in such programs complete them within a prescribed time and at least 70% of those students who graduate from such programs obtain employment in the recognized occupation for which they were trained within a prescribed time.
Certain of our campuses offer such short-term programs in compliance with ED regulations. Students enrolled in such programs represent a small percentage of the total enrollment at our campuses. In the event that an institution erroneously
determines that an educational program is eligible for purposes of the Title IV programs without the EDs express approval, the institution would likely be required to repay the Title IV program funds provided to students in that educational
program. Certain of the state authorizing agencies and accrediting agencies with jurisdiction over our campuses also have requirements that may, in certain instances, limit our ability to open a new campus, acquire an existing campus or establish an
additional location of an existing institution or begin offering a new educational program.

Ability to Benefit
Regulations.Under certain circumstances, an institution may elect to admit non-high school graduates into certain of its programs of study. In such instances, the institution must demonstrate that the student has the ability to
benefit from the program of study. Ninety-eight of our U.S. campuses admit ATB students into their programs. The basic evaluation method to determine that a student has the ability to benefit from the program is the students achievement
of a minimum score on a test approved by the ED and independently administered in accordance with ED regulations. In addition to the testing requirements, the ED regulations prohibit enrollment of ATB students from constituting 50% or more of the
total enrollment of the institution to qualify for Title IV funding. None of our colleges that accept ATB students has an ATB enrollment population that exceeds 50% of the total enrolled population. As of June 30, 2010, ATB students represented
approximately 15.1% of our total student population, down from 23.8% at June 30, 2009. Serving ATB students has historically been part of the Companys mission. However, ATB students are a higher risk population who complete their programs at a
lower rate and default on their student loans at a higher rate than high school graduates. Accordingly, given the shift to a 3-year default measurement period, and the structural changes in student lending over the past two years, we intend to stop
enrolling ATB students into our U.S. Everest and WyoTech institutions starting on September 1, 2010. We will continue to help our currently enrolled ATB students finish their programs and find employment. In addition, ATB students who dropped out of
our programs will be allowed to re-enroll and continue their education.

The 90/10 Rule. Under a provision of the HEA commonly referred to as the
90/10 Rule, a private, for-profit institution, such as each of our institutions, would cease being eligible to participate in the Title IV Programs if, on a cash accounting basis, more than 90% of its revenue was derived from the Title
IV Programs. Prior to the enactment of the HEOA, any institution that violated the 90/10 Rule immediately became ineligible to participate in the Title IV Programs and was unable to apply to regain its eligibility until the following fiscal year.
Since this requirement took effect, each of our U.S. institutions has met this requirement in each fiscal year. Under the HEOA, the 90/10 Rule has been modified to permit certain additional types of revenue, some on a temporary basis, to be counted
as revenue from sources other than Title IV. In addition, the HEOA now specifies that an institution will not become ineligible until it has exceeded the 90% maximum for two consecutive fiscal years. These changes will afford our institutions
additional flexibility in meeting the 90/10 Rule. The legislation, however, also provides that institutions that exceed the 90% limit may be placed on provisional certification and be subject to additional monitoring and that those which violate the
90/10 Rule will be ineligible for two fiscal years before they regain eligibility. Pursuant to the modified 90/10 calculations under the HEOA, the Company derived approximately 81.9% of its net U.S. revenue (on a cash basis) from Title IV Programs
for the 2010 fiscal year. We regularly monitor compliance with this requirement in order to minimize the risk that any of our institutions would derive more than the applicable thresholds of its revenue from the Title IV Programs for any fiscal
year.

Restrictions on Payment of Bonuses, Commissions or Other Incentives. The HEA prohibits an institution from
providing any commission, bonus or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on success in securing enrollments or financial aid to any person or entity engaged in any student recruitment, admission or financial aid awarding activity for
programs eligible for Title IV Program funds. Historically, there have been twelve safe harbor compensation arrangements that the ED has determined are not in violation of the incentive compensation prohibition, including the payment and
adjustment of salaries, bonuses and commissions in certain circumstances. The EDs regulations do not establish clear criteria for compliance in all circumstances, and the ED has announced that it will no longer review and approve individual
schools compensation plans. Nonetheless, we believe that our current compensation plans are in compliance with current HEA standards and the EDs regulations, although we cannot provide assurance that the ED will not find deficiencies in
our compensation plans.

In the June NPRM, ED proposed to eliminate all twelve safe harbors, and in lieu of the safe harbors,
to take the position that any adjustment to compensation based directly or indirectly on securing enrollments or awarding financial aid is inconsistent with the incentive payment prohibition in the HEA. As proposed in the June NPRM, this prohibition
would extend all the way to the senior management of an institution or organization. ED states that an institution still would be able to make merit-based adjustments to employee compensation, but would not be permitted to consider nor base
compensation directly or indirectly, in any part, on factors such as an employees success in securing student enrollments, the award of financial aid or institutional goals based on that success. If the final regulations are adopted as
proposed, we may have to change some of our compensation practices for admissions representatives and others.

Return of
Title IV Funds. In 1998, amendments to the HEA changed substantially the refund requirements regarding the disposition of Title IV funds when a recipient of Title IV funds withdraws from an institution. We believe our return of Title IV funds
calculations are in compliance with current regulations to implement these requirements.

Canadian Regulations

Students attending our schools in Canada finance their education through a combination of family contributions, individual resources
(including earnings from full or part-time employment) and federal and provincial financial aid programs.

The schools
operated by our Everest Canada division are subject to extensive regulations in the province of Ontario. These schools currently hold the necessary registrations, approvals and permits and meet the eligibility requirements to participate in
governmental financial aid program. If these schools cannot continue to meet eligibility standards or fail to comply with applicable requirements, it could have a material adverse effect on our Canadian business, results of operations or financial
condition.

Licensing/Registration. Our ability to provide private-for-profit post-secondary education and grant
diplomas to graduates in Canada is regulated by Ontario government. In Ontario, the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities is responsible for registering and regulating private-for-profit educational institutions. The Private Career
Colleges Act, 2005 (the PCCA) stipulates that an education provider, such as our Canadian schools, must register each of its diploma granting programs for approval as well as each of its campuses with the Ministry. Typical requirements
for obtaining this registered status include the financial viability of the campus, the integrity and honesty of the applicants officers and directors, and the reasonable expectation that the program of study offered by the
applicant will provide the skills requisite for employment in the vocation in which it is being trained. Registration must be renewed by the applicant annually. The Province of Ontario has the statutory power to deny, refuse to renew, suspend or
revoke our registration if we are in breach of a term or condition of the registration.

Government-Sponsored Financial
Aid. Financial aid programs are offered to our Canadian students by the Canadian federal government and the government of Ontario. The Province operates the provincial financial aid program for students and administers these loans in conjunction
with the administration of the Canada Student Loans granted to students studying within the province. In order for students enrolled in a program of study at a private-for-profit educational institution to be eligible for public financial aid, the
private-for-profit educational institution, as well as the specific program of study, must be registered in good standing under the applicable PCCA legislation in the Province. In addition, the Province typically requires that to be financial aid
eligible, the specific program must be at the post-secondary level, be taught on a full-time

basis, have a duration of not less than 12 weeks and lead to a diploma or certificate conferred upon the student at the completion of the program. The Province also typically requires that the
private-for-profit educational institution maintain specific admissions requirements for entrance into eligible programs and retains specific documentation on each student receiving public financial aid.

Financial aid programs provide students with access to funds during their study period based on a needs assessment. The loans are
administered through the National Student Loan Service Centre for the program. The funds are loaned interest-free to the student during the study period and interest begins to accrue once a student either completes his or her study or stops
attending school. After six months, the student must begin repayment of his or her loan(s). During the students interest-free period, interest is paid by the federal and/or provincial governments to the National Student Loan Service Centre.

The Ontario government has an initiative to reduce the number of loan defaults in that province. In addition to several other
facets of this initiative, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (the Ministry) has adopted a policy whereby the Ministry will only guarantee defaulted student loans to a certain capped amount, beyond which the applicable
private career college is responsible for guaranteeing repayment. For the 2010/11 default cohort year, we have four Ontario locations that were required to issue a promissory note and/or collateral due to the default sharing program. If the default
rate in 2013 is below 25%, no payment will be required. Two of these four locations have experienced a default rate exceeding the 25% threshold for the past three years and are required to contract a third party default management provider and
participate in a default rate reduction plan for 2010/11.

ALTERNATIVE LOANS FOR OUR STUDENTS

Historically, we had developed several loan programs with origination and servicing providers such as Sallie Mae for students with low
credit scores who otherwise would not qualify for loans. These loan programs required that we pay a discount fee to the origination and servicing providers of the loans as a reserve against future defaults on these loans. We have historically
referred to these types of loans as discount loans, since we incurred a portion of the default risk related to these student loans by taking a discount on the disbursement. By accepting a reduced payment for these discounted loans from
the servicing providers, we were not at risk for the amounts agreed to by them and the service providers but were not entitled to any proceeds collected by the service providers in excess of this amount. Therefore we had recorded this discount as a
reduction to revenue.

In fiscal 2008 we were informed by Sallie Mae and two other origination and servicing providers that
they would no longer make private loans available for students who present higher credit risks (i.e. subprime borrowers). In the face of this change in policy, we created a new lending program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 with a different
origination and servicing provider, Genesis Lending Services, Inc. (Genesis), who specializes in subprime credit. This new lending program has characteristics similar to our previous discount loan programs. As with our
previous discount loan program, under this new Genesis program we pay a discount to the origination and servicing provider for any loans purchased by Genesis and record the discount as a reduction to revenue. However, unlike our previous discount
loan programs, under our new discount program we have both the right and an obligation to acquire the related loan, except in certain limited circumstances where Genesis does not comply with the terms of our agreement. Since we initiated the new
discount program, we have acquired all of the loans that have been originated. Therefore, we are currently exposed to any credit defaults by our students but retain all amounts collected from our students under the current program. Additionally, the
new discount loan program has also replaced our legacy loan program, called STAR. We estimate loans funded under the Genesis program, net of estimated refunds, were approximately $120 million for both of the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
These amounts are an estimate, as some loans contain amounts that will be recognized during future periods. Accordingly, unrecognized loans amounts are subject to the Companys refund policy.

Included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations, under the caption Other (income) expense, for the years-ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009 is net other income of $3.9 million and ($0.6) million, associated with the Genesis notes program, respectively. The net other income primarily reflects the interest income and loan origination fees, partially offset by
costs related to servicing loans. We defer and recognize both the loan origination income and direct loan origination costs as an adjustment to the yield over the life of the related loan. All other lending-related costs, including costs related to
servicing fees are charged to expense as incurred.

Student notes receivable represent loans that have maturity dates that
generally range between 12 months to 60 months from the loan origination date but can have terms as long as 15 years depending on amounts borrowed. The interest rate currently charged on all new loans is a fixed rate of 6.8% with an origination fee
of 1 percent. Included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010 and 2009 is $68.2 million and $41.5 million in notes receivable, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 the estimated unrecognized Genesis note balance is $13.0 million
(net of discount). This amount is subject to the Companys refund policy.

|-------- | ------------

Risks Related To
Extensive Regulation Of Our Business

If we fail to follow extensive regulatory requirements for our business, we
could suffer severe fines and penalties, including loss of access to federal student loans and grants for our students.

We derive a majority of our revenues on a cash basis from federal student financial aid programs. In connection with the receipt of
federal financial aid by our students, we are subject to extensive regulation by governmental agencies and licensing and accrediting agencies. In particular, the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA), and the regulations
issued thereunder by the Department of Education (ED), subject us to significant regulatory scrutiny in the form of numerous standards that schools must satisfy in order to participate in the various federal financial aid programs under
Title IV of the HEA (Title IV). As a result, our schools are subject to extensive regulations by these agencies that, among other things, require us to:



| |  |  | undertake steps to assure that our schools do not have Cohort Default Rates that exceed applicable limits;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit the percentage of revenues (on a cash basis) derived at each of our institutions from federal student financial aid programs to less than 90%;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adhere to financial responsibility and administrative capability standards;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibit the payment of certain incentives to personnel engaged in student recruiting, admissions activities or awarding financial aid;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | achieve stringent completion and placement outcomes for short-term programs; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make timely refunds of tuition when a student withdraws from one of our institutions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These regulatory agencies periodically revise their requirements and modify their interpretations of existing requirements. If one or
more of our schools were to violate any of these regulatory requirements, we could suffer fines, penalties or other sanctions, including the loss of our ability to participate in federal student financial aid programs at those schools, any of which
could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot predict how all of these requirements will be applied, or whether we will be able to comply with all of the requirements.

The recently-enacted Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 eliminated the Federal Family Education Loan
(FFEL) program so that our students may only receive federal student loans through the Federal Direct Loan program; the transition from the FFEL program to the FDL program involves risks and uncertainty for our institutions and students.

Students at our U.S. institutions are currently eligible to receive loans to fund their education under the FFEL
program and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (FDL) program. The FFEL program consists of Stafford Loans, which can be both subsidized and unsubsidized, and PLUS loans, which are made available to parents of students classified as
dependents. Under the FDL program, students may obtain loans directly from ED rather than commercial lenders. The conditions on FDL loans are generally the same as on loans made under the FFEL program.

In March 2010, Congress passed, and the President signed, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the
HCERA). The HCERA eliminated the FFEL program in favor of the FDL program effective as of July 1, 2010. While our institutions and students have been eligible to participate in the FDL program, we have significantly more experience
in participation in the FFEL program and the transition to the FDL program for the majority of our students involves risks and uncertainty. For instance, we are uncertain (i) whether our institutions will be able to interface with the FDL
origination and servicing functions at the significantly higher expected volumes without interruption or delays; (ii) whether FDL origination and servicing functions will have sufficient capacity to administer the expected significantly higher
volume as all higher education institutions in the United States which are currently participating in the FFEL program transition to the FDL program; (iii) whether we could experience delays in receiving disbursements in Title IV funds for our
students; and (iv) whether the federal governments direct administration of the Title IV programs through the FDL will involve changes in the availability of traditional measures we and other private sector institutions have used to
manage cohort default rates by, among other things, assisting students with obtaining forbearances, deferments, and income-based repayment. Additionally, because HCERA eliminates the FFEL program, many private lenders have exited the student loan
market and may be unwilling to make private loans to our students.

These changes may result in higher administrative costs
for schools, including us, related to student loan administration. If the costs of Title IV loans increase and if availability of alternate student financial aid decreases, students may decide not to enroll in a postsecondary institution, which
could have a material adverse effect on our enrollments, revenues, and results of operation. Any further actions by the Congress, ED or other regulatory bodies that significantly reduces funding for Title IV Programs or the ability of our students
to participate in those program, reduces alternate sources of student financial aid, or establishes different or more stringent requirements for participation in Title IV Programs could have a material adverse effect on our student population,
course offerings, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Congress may change eligibility standards or reduce funding for federal student
financial aid programs, or other governmental or regulatory bodies may change similar laws or regulations relating to other student financial aid programs, which could adversely affect our business.

Political and budgetary concerns can significantly affect Title IV programs and other laws and regulations governing federal and state
student financial aid programs. Title IV programs are made available pursuant to the provisions of the HEA, and the HEA must be reauthorized by Congress approximately every six years. Independent of reauthorization, Congress must annually
appropriate funds for Title IV programs. In mid-2008, Congress passed and the President signed the HEOA in order to reauthorize the HEA. Future reauthorizations or appropriations may result in numerous legislative changes, including those that could
adversely affect our ability to participate in the Title IV programs and the availability of Title IV and non-Title IV funding sources for our students. Congress also may impose certain requirements upon the state or accrediting agencies with
respect to their approval of our schools. Any action by Congress or ED that significantly reduces funding for the federal student financial aid programs or the ability of our schools or students to participate in these programs would have a material
adverse effect on our business. Legislative action also may increase our administrative costs and burdens and require us to modify our practices in order for our schools to comply fully with applicable requirements.

In September 2007, Congress passed, and the President signed, legislation which, among other things, decreased private lender and
guaranty agency yields for participation in the FFEL programs, decreased student interest rates on FFEL loans, and limited repayment obligations for students who receive loans pursuant to Title IV programs. In the years that followed, many lenders
discontinued their participation in the federally guaranteed Title IV loans program. The HEOA requires notification and certification requirements to private non-Title IV program educational loans and makes them subject to the Truth in Lending Act
requirements and potential liabilities, which could adversely affect private lenders willingness and ability to make such loans and thereby affect our students ability to access private student loans.

Because a significant percentage of our revenue is derived from Title IV and alternative loan programs, any action by Congress that
significantly reduces Title IV program funding, the availability or attractiveness of alternative loans, or the ability of our schools or students to participate in Title IV programs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations or financial condition. Legislative action also could increase our administrative costs and burdens and require us to adjust our practices in order for our schools to comply fully with Title IV program requirements.

Congress recently has commenced hearings and other examinations of the for-profit education sector that could result in further
investigations, legislation, ED rulemaking, restrictions on Title IV Program participation by proprietary schools, or other actions that may materially and adversely affect our business.

On June 17, 2010, the Education and Labor Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives held a hearing to examine the manner in which
accrediting agencies review higher education institutions policies on credit hours and program length. On June 24, 2010, the HELP Committee held the first in a series of hearings to examine the proprietary education sector and released a
report, Emerging Risk?: An Overview of Growth, Spending, Student Debt and Unanswered Questions in For-Profit Higher Education. On August 4, 2010, the HELP Committee held the second hearing in its series, focusing on student recruitment
at for-profit schools. Earlier, on June 21, 2010, the Chairmen of each of these education committees, together with other members of Congress, requested the GAO to conduct a review and prepare a report with recommendations regarding various aspects
of the proprietary sector, including recruitment practices, educational quality, student outcomes, the sufficiency of integrity safeguards against waste, fraud and abuse in federal student aid programs and the degree to which proprietary
institutions revenue is composed of Title IV and other federal funding sources.

Prior to the HELP Committees
hearing on August 4, 2010, the GAO conducted a series of undercover investigations into the enrollment and recruiting practices at fifteen for-profit institutions of higher education in which GAO investigators with hidden cameras posed as potential
new student enrollees. We believe that two of our campuses, one of which was Everest College Phoenix, were among those visited by the GAO. At the HELP Committee hearing on August 4, 2010, the GAO provided testimony that characterized the
interactions between our campus personnel and the GAO investigators as deceptive or otherwise questionable. We have requested copies of the videotaped interactions between the GAO investigators and our campus personnel, but our request
was denied. Although impeded by this denial, we have nevertheless conducted a review of these allegations  assisted by outside counsel  and have not identified any intentional misconduct by our employees. We will continue to review
any evidence provided by the GAO and will take appropriate actions based on any new evidence we obtain.

Additionally, on
August 12, 2010, the President of Everest College Phoenix received a letter from HLC requesting a response to the allegations contained in the GAO report. In addition to seeking a response to the specific circumstances identified in the GAO
report, HLC requested that Everest College Phoenix demonstrate that it has reasonable, sufficient, and effective systems in place to assure appropriate control of employees engaged in the recruiting, marketing or admissions process. Everest
College Phoenix is in the process of responding to HLCs requests.

These hearings and the GAO investigation are not
formally related to EDs rulemaking process currently underway. However, the hearings and the requested GAO review could affect the final rules or could lead to further investigations of proprietary schools and the proposal of additional new
regulatory requirements by the ED.

On August 5, we received a request for information from the HELP Committee relating to the
ongoing series of hearings. We believe this request was extended to approximately thirty proprietary educational companies, including all such publicly traded companies. The request seeks information regarding how we recruit and enroll students, set
program price or tuition, determine financial aid including private or institutional loans, track attendance, handle withdrawal of students and return of Title IV dollars and manage compliance with the 90/10 rule. The request also seeks information
regarding the number of students who complete or graduate from our programs, how many of those students find work in their educational area, the debt levels of students enrolling and completing programs and information regarding the number of
students who risk default within the cohort default rate window.

##### Table of Contents

In furtherance of this, the HELP Committee has requested that we provide information about a
broad spectrum of our business, including detailed information relating to financial results, management, operations, personnel, recruiting, enrollment, graduation, student withdrawals, receipt of Title IV Program funds, institutional accreditation,
regulatory compliance and other matters. We intend to cooperate with the HELP Committee. The HELP Committee has requested that we produce a portion of the specified information by August 26, 2010 and the remainder of the information by
September 16, 2010.

We cannot predict the extent to which these hearings and review will result in further
investigations, legislation or rulemaking affecting our participation in Title IV Programs or other aspects of our business. If any laws or regulations are adopted that limit our participation in Title IV Programs or the amount of student
financial aid for which our students are eligible, our business could be adversely and materially impacted.

If any of
our U.S. schools fails to maintain its accreditation or its state authorization, that institution may lose its ability to participate in federal student financial aid programs.

An institution that grants degrees, diplomas or certificates must be authorized by the relevant agencies of the state in which it is
located and, in some cases, other states. Requirements for authorization vary substantially among the states. Additionally, both an approval to operate in a state and accreditation by an accrediting agency recognized by the ED are required for an
institution to participate in the federal student financial aid programs. If any of our U.S. campuses were to lose its accreditation or its state authorization, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

On May 1, 2009, the Companys Everest College Phoenix received notification from HLC that it had been placed on probation. At
June 30, 2010, the combined enrollment for Everest College Phoenix was 5,774 students, and combined revenue was approximately 5.8% of the Companys total net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The probation action was
initiated primarily related to governance issues and questions about the institutions autonomy with respect to Corinthians ownership and control of the institution. The institution has made numerous changes to comply with HLCs
accreditation criteria and is committed to continuing make progress forward resolving HLCs concerns. HLC indicated that the probationary process is a period during which it will verify that these changes have, in fact, occurred and effectively
meet HLCs standards. On May 17-19, 2010, Everest College Phoenix hosted an HLC evaluation team to verify whether these changes have occurred and effectively meet HLCs standards. In its Report on a Comprehensive Evaluation Visit dated
August 19, 2010, the evaluation team noted that while there have been some positive developments, deficiencies in the institutions compliance with HLCs accreditation criteria remained unresolved. The evaluation team concluded that
adverse action by HLC was warranted, and recommended withdrawal of accreditation of Everest College Phoenix. The evaluation teams report is one of several steps in HLCs process of evaluating the institutions probationary status.
The Company and Everest College Phoenix disagree with the evaluation teams conclusions and intend to contest the teams recommendations before the Commission. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter with certainty, including
without limitation, whether HLC will act or the evaluation teams recommendations to withdraw accreditation of Everest College Phoenix. Since accreditation is required for an institution to be eligible to participate in the federal student
financial aid programs, the failure by Everest College Phoenix to satisfactorily resolve its probation with HLC could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Additionally, in December 2009, ED issued an Alert Memorandum, calling into question HLCs compliance with the
applicable ED regulations related to HLCs status as an accrediting agency recognized by ED. Specifically, the OIG asserted that HLC did not make appropriate assessments as to credit hours with respect to the distance education programs at an
HLC-accredited institution. As such, the OIG recommended that ED take action to determine whether HLC is in compliance with federal regulations related to the recognition of accrediting agencies and, if ED determines that if HLC is not in compliance
with such regulations, take action to limit, suspend, or terminate HLCs recognition by ED. Thereafter, in May 2010, the OIG issued a management report to HLC in which the OIG found that HLC does not have an established definition of credit
hour or minimum requirements for program length and the assignment of credit hours, which the OIG asserted could result in inflated credit hours, the improper designation of full-time student status, and the over-awarding of Title IV Program funds.
We are unable to predict if or how this matter will be resolved and whether it could impact us or other HLC-accredited institutions if ED were to limit, suspend, or terminate HLCs recognition as an accrediting agency.

Pending rulemaking by ED could result in regulatory changes that could materially adversely affect our business.

The agencies that regulate our U.S. schools, including ED, periodically revise their requirements and modify their
interpretations of existing requirements. On September 9, 2009, the Department published a notice in the Federal Register announcing its intent to establish two negotiated rulemaking committees to prepare proposed regulations under Title IV of
the HEA. In November 2009, the U.S. Department of Education convened two new negotiated rulemaking teams related to Title IV program integrity issues and foreign school issues.

Under negotiated rulemaking, ED works to develop a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in collaboration with representatives of the parties who
will be affected significantly by the regulations through a series of meetings during which the representatives work with the ED to come to consensus on the EDs proposed regulations. One of the negotiating rulemaking committees addressed the
following issues, many of which are relevant to the Company: satisfactory academic progress; monitoring grade point averages; incentive compensation; gainful employment in a recognized occupation; state authorization as a component of institutional
eligibility; definition of a credit hour; verification of information included on a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); definition of a high school diploma for purposes of establishing eligibility to participate in student financial
aid programs; misrepresentation of information provided to students and prospective students; ability to benefit; agreements between institutions of higher education; retaking coursework; term-based module programs; institutions required to take
attendance for purposes of the Return of Title IV Funds requirements; and timeliness and method of disbursement of Title IV funds. This negotiated rulemaking committee completed its work on January 29, 2010 without reaching consensus.
Accordingly, under the negotiated rulemaking protocol, ED was free to propose rules without regard to the tentative agreement reached regarding certain of the rules.

On June 18, 2010, ED issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the June NPRM) following a year-long negotiated rulemaking
process between ED and the higher education community on 14 Title IV Program integrity issues, which include lender and general student loan issues, accreditation, discretionary grants, general and non-loan programmatic issues, safe harbors under
incentive compensation rules for admissions recruiters, and standards regarding state authorization for purposes of Title IV Program eligibility.

The June NPRM addressed 13 of 14 program integrity issues in their entirety and partially addressed the 14th issue, which involves the
definition of gainful employment; the ED issued a separate NPRM on gainful employment metrics on July 26, 2010 (the July NPRM). Public comment was due on the June NPRM no later than August 2, 2010 and for the July NPRM is due
no later than September 9, 2010. The ED has stated that it intends to review all comments it receives with the goal of publishing a final rule by November 1, 2010, which would take effect beginning July 1, 2011.

The two proposed program integrity rules that have the most significant potential impact for our business are the following:



| |  |  | the elimination of certain safe harbors regarding the prohibition on the payment of incentive compensation to employees involved in student
recruitment and enrollment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

study prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.

Incentive Compensation

A school participating in Title IV programs may not pay any commission, bonus or other incentive payments to any person
involved in student recruitment or admissions or awarding of Title IV program funds, if such payments are based directly or indirectly on success in enrolling students or obtaining student financial aid. The statutory language of this prohibition
does not establish clear criteria for compliance in all circumstances, but historically there have been twelve safe harbors that define specific types of compensation that are deemed not to constitute impermissible incentive
compensation. Currently, we rely on several of these safe harbors to ensure that our compensation and recruitment practices comply with the statutory prohibition.

In the June NPRM, ED proposed to eliminate all twelve safe harbors, and in lieu of the safe harbors, to take the position that any
adjustment to compensation based directly or indirectly on securing enrollments or awarding financial aid is inconsistent with the incentive payment prohibition in the HEA. As proposed in the June NPRM, this prohibition would extend all the way to
the senior management of an institution or organization. ED states that an institution still would be able to make merit-based adjustments to employee compensation, but would not be permitted to consider nor base compensation directly or indirectly,
in any part, on factors such as an employees success in securing student enrollments, the award of financial aid or institutional goals based on that success. If the final regulations are adopted as proposed, we may have to change some of our
compensation practices for admissions representatives and others. This could adversely affect our ability to compensate our admissions representatives and other employees in a manner that appropriately reflects their job performance, which in turn
could reduce their effectiveness and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified and competent personnel.

In
addition, a lack of certainty could increase the risk of future Federal False Claims Act qui tam lawsuits in which private plaintiffs assert that our compensation practices violate the incentive compensation rules and, therefore, that our
receipt of Title IV funds constitutes a false claim. We have been the subject of three such qui tam lawsuits relating to our compensation practices, all of which have been dismissed at the district court level, but one of which is on appeal
to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Gainful Employment

Under the HEA, proprietary schools are eligible to participate in Title IV programs in respect of educational programs that lead to
gainful employment in a recognized occupation. Historically, this concept has been interpreted and applied to focus on the objectives of the programs. In the July NPRM, ED proposed to adopt a definition of gainful employment
for purposes of the requirement for Title IV student financial aid that a program of study prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation, with that definition linked to a two part test: measuring the relationship between the
debt students incur and their incomes after program completion; and measuring the rate at which all enrollees, regardless of completion, repay their loans on time.

If this regulation is adopted in a form similar to that proposed by ED, it could render some of our programs, as well as programs offered
by other private sector educational institutions, ineligible for Title IV funding to the extent they do not meet these standards. In addition, the continuing eligibility of our educational programs for Title IV funding would be at risk due to
factors beyond our control, such as changes in the income level of persons employed in specific occupations or sectors, increases in interest rates, changes in student mix to persons requiring higher amounts of student loans to complete their
programs, changes in student loan delinquency rates and other factors. If a particular program ceased to be eligible for Title IV funding, in most cases it would not be practical to continue offering that course under our current business model.
Regulations in the form proposed in the July NPRM could result in a significant realignment of the types of educational programs that are offered by us and by other private sector educational institutions in general, in order to comply with the
rules or to avoid the uncertainty associated with compliance over time. This realignment could reduce our enrollment, perhaps materially.

In addition, for those programs that remain eligible only under an alternative basis of student loan repayment rates or other alternative
standards, we may have to substantially increase our efforts to promote student loan repayment, course completion or job placement in order to ensure continued Title IV eligibility. This could materially increase our cost of doing business and/or
cause us to further limit enrollment.

Potential Impact of Rulemaking

We cannot predict the form of any final rules that may be adopted by the ED. As presented by the ED in the NPRMs, the rules regarding
incentive compensation and gainful employment could have a material impact on the manner in which we conduct our business. Compliance with these rules, which if adopted could be effective as early as July 1, 2011, could reduce our enrollment,
increase our cost of doing business, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our U.S. schools may lose eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid
programs if the percentage of their revenues derived from those programs is too high.

Prior to the enactment of the
HEOA, a proprietary institution would lose its eligibility to participate in the federal student financial aid programs for a period of one year if it derived more than 90% of its revenues, on a cash basis, from these programs in any fiscal year.
Any institution that violated this rule immediately became ineligible to participate in federal student financial aid programs and would be ineligible to reapply to regain its eligibility until the following fiscal year. Under the HEOA, an
institution that derives more than 90% of its total revenue from the Title IV programs for two consecutive fiscal years would become immediately ineligible to participate in Title IV programs and would not be permitted to reapply for eligibility
until the end of full two fiscal years. Effective July 1, 2008, the annual unsubsidized Stafford loans available for undergraduate students under the FFEL program increased by $2,000 which, coupled with recent increases in grants from the Pell
program and other Title IV loan limits, will result in some of our schools experiencing an increase in the revenues they receive from Title IV programs. The HEOA contains relief from recent increases in the availability and amount of federal aid by,
among other things, for all unsubsidized Stafford loans disbursed before July 1, 2011, permitting the $2,000 of additional Stafford loan availability to be counted as revenue not derived from Title IV programs. Additionally, for the
Companys fiscal years ending on or before June 30, 2012, the HEOA permits loans made by the Company to its students to count as non-Title IV revenue when earned, not when the loans are repaid as was the case for fiscal years 2009 and
prior. Based on our calculations as required by the modified calculations under the HEOA, none of our institutions received more than 90% of its revenues, on a cash basis, in fiscal 2010, with our highest institution receiving 89.1% of its revenues,
on a cash basis, from federal student financial aid programs. Pursuant to the modified calculation under the HEOA, on a consolidated basis we received 81.9% of our U.S. revenues, on a cash basis, from federal student financial aid programs in fiscal
2010. If Congress fails to extend the exclusion of the additional $2,000 of Stafford loans for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011, or if Congress fails to extend the ability to count loans made by institutions to their students to be
counted as non-Title IV revenue when earned (as opposed to when repaid) for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, it would adversely affect our ability to comply with the 90/10 Rule. A decrease in the availability of state grants could
also adversely impact our ability to comply with the 90/10 Rule because state grants generally are considered cash payments for purposes of the 90/10 Rule. If any of our institutions, depending on its size, loses eligibility to participate in
federal student financial aid programs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

As Congress increases
available Title IV aid, we are often effectively required to increase tuition prices in order to maintain compliance with the 90/10 Rule; conversely, EDs proposed gainful employment regulations could require us to reduce tuition
prices in order to limit the debt burden of our students.If EDs gainful employment regulation is adopted as proposed, our institutions may not be able to comply with both rules.

In order to comply with the 90/10 Rule, the Companys institutions cannot receive more than 90% of their revenues (on a cash basis)
from Title IV sources. When Congress has increased available aid to students through the Title IV Program, some of our institutions  especially those that serve the most disadvantaged students who are entitled to receive the most Title IV
student financial aid  have effectively been required to raise their tuition and fees in order to maintain compliance with the 90/10 Rule by maintaining a 10% gap between tuition charges and the average students available
Title IV funds. Under EDs proposed gainful employment regulation, on the other hand, those programs where the average graduates debt repayment burden exceeds a particular percentage of the average graduates compensation
would cease to be eligible for Title IV Program funds, or would face other restrictions imposed by ED. This requirement would generally put downward pressure on tuition prices so that students do not incur debt that would exceed EDs prescribed
levels. If EDs proposed gainful employment regulation is adopted as proposed, some of our programs may not be able to comply with the gainful employment rule while we attempt to maintain compliance with the 90/10 Rule. If the
gainful employment rule is adopted as proposed, our efforts to comply with both rules could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Our U.S. schools may lose eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid programs if their current and former
students loan default rates on federally guaranteed student loans are too high.

Under the HEA, an institution
could lose its eligibility to participate in some or all of the federal student financial aid programs if defaults by its former students on their federal student loans equal or exceed 25% per year for three consecutive years, or 40% in a
single year. The term institution means a main campus and its additional locations, as defined by EDs regulations. ED generally publishes draft cohort default rates in February of each year for the repayment period that ended the
prior September 30. We review all annually published cohort default rates and appeal the rates we believe are inaccurate. Draft rates do not result in sanctions and can change between February and the release of the official cohort default
rates in September.

We monitor on an ongoing basis the preliminary data about cohorts which are in the process of repayment,
and are currently monitoring the repayment and default status of students who entered repayment during the federal fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 (the 2009 Cohort), and the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 (the
2010 Cohort). The draft cohort default rates for the 2009 Cohort will not be available until February 2011. However, based on currently available information, we believe the number of our institutions which could exceed EDs 25%
default rate threshold for the 2009 Cohort will be substantially higher than for the 2008 Cohort, in which nine of our institutions exceeded the 25% default rate threshold.

Prior to the credit crisis in 2008, three types of entities played a role in managing student loan defaults in the FFEL Program: lenders
participating in the FFEL Program, such as Sallie Mae; guaranty agencies; and post-secondary institutions such as ours. Since the credit crisis in 2008, many student loan portfolios have been put, or sold, to the federal government by
lenders that either went out of business or could no longer fund their FFEL program loans. Lenders still in existence became servicing agents for the loans held by the government. Accordingly, guaranty agencies no longer play a role in default
management and lenders roles have been significantly reduced. In addition, since May 2008, ED has distributed put loans to multiple servicers, and many of our students have loans with more than one servicing organization. This has
made our default prevention efforts more complicated and difficult. Taken together, the structural changes in student lending have significantly reduced the level of default management activity previously provided by lenders and guaranty agencies.
These changes have also negatively affected the timeliness and accuracy of federal databases and thus hindered the Companys efforts at data collection and analysis.

Because of the foregoing factors, and the fact that we expect some of our institutions to exceed the 25% threshold for both the 2008
Cohort and the 2009 Cohort, we can no longer predict that none of our institutions will exceed the 25% threshold for three consecutive years. Although the two-year measurement periods for the 2009 Cohort and the 2010 Cohort do not end until
September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, we now believe that up to three of our institutions that exceeded EDs 25% default rate threshold for the 2008 Cohort could exceed the 25% threshold for three consecutive years. Under
EDs current two-year default measurement methodology, institutions which exceed the 25% threshold for three consecutive years, or 40% in one year, become ineligible to participate in Title IV programs. The three institutions most at risk of
exceeding the 25% threshold for three years in a row had 6,258 students at June 30, 2010, and represented 6.4% of our net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

The 2008 HEOA made significant changes to the requirements governing the Title IV Programs,
including the provisions on cohort default rates. Under the HEOA, a separate calculation will be performed starting for the 2009 Cohort that will add an additional federal fiscal year of borrowers repayment performance to the applicable cohort
year. Starting after rates for the 2011 Cohort are finalized in 2014, sanctions will be imposed if an institution has a cohort default rate, under the new calculation, of 30% or more per year for three consecutive federal fiscal years, or more than
40% for a single year. As this is a new requirement, we are extending our cohort default management efforts to cover the additional year of measurement under the HEOA. However, we expect the higher two-year rates for the 2009 Cohort to translate
into substantially elevated three-year rates for the same cohort, draft results for which we expect to receive in February 2012. Thus, we expect a majority of our institutions to exceed the 30% threshold under the new 3-year measurement for the 2009
Cohort. Sanctions do not become applicable for the 3-year measurement until 2014, at which time final rates will have been published under the three-year measurement for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Cohorts. We expect to continue our default prevention
efforts in order to attempt to improve default rates for the 2010 and 2011 Cohorts during their applicable repayment periods, but it is too early to make predictions about the success of those efforts. Accordingly, we can provide no assurances that
our efforts will be successful, and we are unable to predict whether any, or how many, of our institutions will ultimately have cohort default rates in excess of 30% for three years in a row under the three-year measurement methodology.

If any of our institutions, depending on its size, were to lose eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid programs
because of high student loan default rates, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We intend to
discontinue enrolling ATB Students beginning on September 1, 2010. The elimination of this population of potential new student enrollments couldadversely affect our business.

Serving ATB students has historically been part of the Companys mission. However, ATB students are a higher risk population who
complete their programs at a lower rate and default on their student loans at a higher rate than high school graduates. Accordingly, given the shift to a 3-year default measurement period and the structural changes in student lending over the past
two years, we intend to stop enrolling ATB students into our U.S. Everest and WyoTech institutions starting on September 1, 2010. At June 30, 2010, ATB students accounted for approximately 15.1% of our enrollments. The elimination of this population
of potential students will negatively impact our expected new student enrollments, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our futurefinancial condition and results of operationscould be materially adversely affected if we
are required to write down the carrying value of goodwillor otherintangible assets.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, by comparing
their fair value to the carrying amount at the reporting unit level as defined by the accounting guidance. We determined the fair value of our reporting units using the income approach that includes discounted cash flow as well as other generally
accepted valuation methodologies. To the extent the fair value of a reporting unit is less that the carrying amount of its assets, we record an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with receipt of federal financial aid by the Companys students, the Company is subject to extensive regulation by
governmental agencies and licensing and accrediting agencies. Compliance with the regulations promulgated by these various bodies could have a material impact on the manner in which the Company conducts its business. To the extent known, the Company
has incorporated the risks associated with regulatory compliance into the cash flow forecasts and discount rates used to estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units at June 30, 2010. However, should the Company need to take additional
actions not currently foreseen to comply with current and future regulations, the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of our reporting units, including estimation of future cash flows, revenue growth, and discount rates, could be negatively
impacted and could result in an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of one of our reporting units with approximately $198.5 million of goodwill exceeded its carrying amount by less than 10%. As a
result, a relatively minor negative revision to the estimated future revenue growth or discount rate could result in an impairment to the carrying value of the related goodwill.

In the future, if we are required to significantly write down the value of our goodwill or other intangible assets, it could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we do not meet specific financial
responsibility ratios and tests established by the ED, our U.S. schools may lose eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid programs.

To participate in the federal student financial aid programs, an institution must either satisfy quantitative standards of financial
responsibility, or post a letter of credit in favor of the ED and possibly accept other conditions on its participation in the federal student financial aid programs. Each year, based on financial information submitted by institutions that
participate in federal student financial aid programs, the ED calculates three financial ratios for an institution: an equity ratio, a primary reserve ratio and a net income ratio. Each of these ratios is scored separately and then combined to
determine the institutions financial responsibility or composite score. If an institutions score is above 1.5, it may continue its participation in federal student financial aid programs. For fiscal 2010, our calculations
show that all of our schools exceed this requirement on an individual basis and are eligible to participate in the federal student financial aid programs, with composite scores ranging from 1.5 to 3.0. On a consolidated basis, we also exceed this
requirement with a composite score of 1.7. We cannot assure you that we and our institutions will continue to satisfy the numeric standards in the future.

One or more of our institutions may have to post a letter of credit or be subject to other sanctions if they do not correctly
calculate and timely return Title IV Program funds for students who withdraw before completing their program of study.

A school participating in Title IV Programs must correctly calculate the amount of unearned Title IV Program funds that was disbursed to
students who withdrew from their educational programs before completing them, and must return those unearned funds in a timely manner, generally within 45 days of the date the school determines that the student has withdrawn. If the unearned funds
are not properly calculated and timely returned, we may have to post a letter of credit in favor of the ED or be otherwise sanctioned by the ED. An institution is required to post a letter of credit with the ED in an amount equal to 25% of the total
dollar amount of unearned Title IV Program funds that the institution was required to return with respect to withdrawn students during its most recently completed fiscal year, if the institution was found in an audit or program review to have
untimely returned unearned Title IV Program funds with respect to 5% or more of the students in the audit or program review sample of withdrawn students, in either of its two most recently completed fiscal years. The requirement to post a letter of
credit or other sanctions by the ED could increase our cost of regulatory compliance and adversely affect our results of operations.

If regulators do not approve our acquisitions, the acquired school(s) would not be
permitted to participate in federal student financial aid programs.

When we acquire an institution that participates
in federal student financial aid programs, we must seek approval from the ED and most applicable state agencies and accrediting agencies, because an acquisition is considered a change of ownership or control of the acquired institution under
applicable regulatory standards. A change of ownership or control of an institution under the ED standards can result in the temporary suspension of the institutions participation in the federal student financial aid programs unless a timely
and materially complete application for recertification is filed with the ED and the ED issues a temporary certification document. If we are unable to obtain approvals from the state agencies, accrediting agencies or ED for any institution we may
acquire in the future, depending on the size of that acquisition, such a failure to obtain approval could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If regulators do not approve transactions involving a change of control or change in our corporate structure, we may lose our
ability to participate in federal student financial aid programs.

Additionally, if regulators do not approve
transactions involving a change of control of the Company, we may lose our ability to participate in federal student financial aid programs. If we experience a change of control under the standards of applicable state agencies or accrediting
agencies or the ED, we or the affected institutions must seek the approval of the relevant agencies. Some of these transactions or events, such as a significant acquisition or disposition of our common stock by third parties on the open market or
through a tender offer, may be beyond our control. The adverse regulatory effect of a change of ownership resulting in a change of control could also discourage bids for our outstanding shares of common stock at a premium and could have an adverse
effect on the market price of our common stock.

If we fail to demonstrate administrative capability to the ED, our
business could suffer.

ED regulations specify extensive criteria an institution must satisfy to establish that it has
the requisite administrative capability to participate in federal student financial aid programs. These criteria require, among other things, that the institution:



| |  |  | comply with all applicable federal student financial aid regulations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | have capable and sufficient personnel to administer the federal student financial aid programs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | have acceptable methods of defining and measuring the satisfactory academic progress of its students;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide financial aid counseling to its students; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | submit all reports and financial statements required by the regulations.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

If an institution fails to satisfy any of these criteria, the ED may:



| |  |  | require the repayment of federal student financial aid funds;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transfer the institution from the advance system of payment of federal student financial aid funds to the reimbursement system
of payment or cash monitoring;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | place the institution on provisional certification status; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | commence a proceeding to impose a fine or to limit, suspend or terminate the participation of the institution in federal student financial aid
programs.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should one or more of our institutions be limited in their access to, or lose, federal student
financial aid funds due to their failure to demonstrate administrative capability, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Regulatory agencies or third parties may conduct compliance reviews, commence investigations, bring claims or institute litigation
against us.

Because we operate in a highly regulated industry, we may be subject from time to time to program reviews,
audits, investigations, claims of non-compliance, or lawsuits by governmental agencies or third parties, which may allege statutory violations, regulatory infractions, or common law causes of action. If the results of the investigations are
unfavorable to us or if we are unable to successfully defend against third-party lawsuits, we may be required to pay money damages or be subject to fines, penalties, injunctions or other censure that could have a materially adverse effect on our
business. We also may be limited in our ability to open new schools or add new program offerings and may be adversely impacted by the negative publicity surrounding an investigation or lawsuit. Even if we adequately address the issues raised by an
agency review or investigation or successfully defend a third-party lawsuit, we may suffer interruptions in cash flows due to, among other things, transfer from the advance funding to the reimbursement or heightened cash
monitoring method of Title IV program funding, and we may have to devote significant money and management resources to address these issues, which could harm our business. Additionally, we may experience adverse collateral consequences,
including declines in the number of students enrolling at our schools and the willingness of third parties to deal with us or our schools, as a result of any negative publicity associated with such reviews, claims or litigation.

Investigations, claims and actions against companies in our industry could adversely
affect our business and stock price.

During the past decade, we and other companies in the for-profit postsecondary
education industry have been subject to intense regulatory scrutiny. In some cases, allegations of wrongdoing have resulted in reviews or investigations by the Justice Department, state attorneys general, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC), the ED, state agencies, accrediting agencies and other entities. These allegations, reviews and investigations and the accompanying adverse publicity could have a negative impact on the for-profit postsecondary education industry
in general, our business and the market price of our common stock.

We are subject to sanctions if we pay impermissible
commissions, bonuses or other incentive payments to individuals involved in certain recruiting, admissions or financial aid activities.

An institution participating in Title IV Programs may not provide any commission, bonus or other incentive payment based directly or
indirectly on success in securing enrollments or financial aid to any person or entity engaged in any student recruitment or admission activity or in making decisions regarding the awarding of Title IV Program funds. The law and regulations
governing this requirement do not establish clear criteria for compliance in all circumstances. If the ED determined that one of our institutions compensation practices violated these standards, the ED could subject the institution to monetary
fines, penalties, or other sanctions. Additionally, the Company has been, and may in the future be, the subject of qui tam actions in federal court by former employees on behalf of themselves and the federal government alleging violations of
False Claims act because of alleged violations of the incentive compensation prohibitions in the HEA. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Any substantial fine or penalty or other sanction levied against one or more of our schools could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Failure to comply with
extensive Canadian regulations could affect the ability of our Canadian schools to participate in Canadian financial aid programs.

Our post-secondary schools in Canada derive a significant percentage of their revenue on a cash basis from Canadian governmental financial
aid programs, and our Canadian students receive loans under student financial aid programs.

Our Canadian schools must meet
eligibility standards to administer these programs and must comply with extensive statutes, rules, regulations and requirements. If our Canadian schools cannot meet these and other eligibility standards or fail to comply with applicable
requirements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Additionally, the Canadian and Ontario provincial
governments continuously review the legislative, regulatory and other requirements relating to student financial assistance programs due to political and budgetary pressures. Although we do not currently anticipate a significant reduction in the
funding for these programs, any change that significantly reduces funding or the ability of our schools to participate in these programs could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Operational Risks That Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business

If our students are unable to obtain private loans from third party lenders, our business could be adversely affected.

The education finance industry has experienced and may continue to experience problems that have resulted in fewer
overall financing options for some of our students. Factors that could impact the general availability of loans to our students include:



| |  |  | changes in overall economic conditions or overall uncertainty or disruption in capital markets, in either case causing lenders to cease making student
loans, limit the volume or types of loans made or impose more stringent eligibility or underwriting standards;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the financial condition and continued financial viability of student loan providers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in applicable laws or regulations, such as provisions of the HEOA that impose disclosure and certification requirements with respect to private
educational loans, that could have the effect of reducing the availability of education financing, including as a result of any lenders choosing to provide fewer loans or to stop providing loans altogether in light of increased regulation, or which
could increase the costs of student loans; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | determinations by lenders to reduce the number of loans, or to cease making loans altogether, to students attending or planning to attend certain types
of schools, particularly for-profit schools.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The consumer credit markets in the United States have suffered over the past several years
from increases in default rates and foreclosures on mortgages, which in some cases have called into question the continued financial viability of certain student loan providers and has resulted in fewer providers of student loans. Providers of
federally guaranteed student loans and alternative student loans have also experienced increases in default rates. Adverse market conditions for consumer and federally guaranteed student loans have resulted in providers of alternative loans reducing
the attractiveness and/or decreasing the availability of alternative loans to post-secondary students, including students with low credit scores who would not otherwise be eligible for credit-based alternative loans. Prospective students may find
that these increased financing costs make borrowing prohibitively expensive and abandon or delay enrollment in post-secondary education programs.

While we are taking steps to address the private loan needs of our students, the inability of our students to finance their education
could cause our student population to decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our Genesis discount student loan program could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.

Our Genesis discount student loan program enables students who have exhausted all available
government-sponsored or other aid and are ineligible for private loans from other financial institutions to borrow a portion of their tuition and other educational expenses at our schools if they or a co-borrower meet certain criteria. Historically,
we had developed several loan programs with origination and servicing providers such as Sallie Mae for students with low credit scores who otherwise would not qualify for loans. These loan programs required that we pay a discount fee to the
origination and servicing providers of the loans as a reserve against future defaults on these loans. We have historically referred to these types of loans as discount loans, since we incurred a portion of the default risk related to
these students loans by taking a discount on the disbursement.

In early 2008 we were informed by Sallie Mae and two
other origination and servicing providers that they would no longer make private loans available for students who present higher credit risks (i.e. subprime borrowers). In the face of this change in policy, we created a new student lending program
with a different origination and servicing provider, Genesis, who specializes in subprime credit. This new Genesis loan program has characteristics similar to our previous discount loan programs. Under this Genesis loan program, we pay a
discount to the origination and servicing provider. As with our previous discount loan program, we record the discount as a reduction to revenue, as the collectability of these amounts is not reasonably assured. However, unlike our previous discount
loan programs, under our Genesis discount loan program we have both the right and the obligation (subject to certain limitations in our agreement with Genesis), to acquire the related loans. Since we initiated the program in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008, we have acquired all of the loans that have been originated.

Federal, state and local laws and public policy and
general principles of equity relating to the protection of consumers apply to the origination, servicing and collection of the loans that we purchase under this program. Any violation of the various federal, state and local laws, including, in some
instances, violations of these laws by parties not under our control, may result in losses on the loans that we purchase or may limit our ability to collect all or part of the principal or interest on the loans that we purchase. This may be the case
even if we are not directly responsible for the violations by such parties. Federal or state financial regulators also might delay or suspend the new student loan program for a variety of reasons. Additionally, depending on the terms of the loans,
state consumer credit regulators may assert that our activities in connection with the new student loan program require us to obtain one or more licenses, registrations or other forms of regulatory approvals, any of which may not be able to be
obtained in a timely manner, if at all.

For the Genesis discount loans that we acquire, we will bear the risks of collection.
Therefore, even though we will record the discount as a reduction to revenue, to the extent collections are less than the net amount of revenue recorded, we may still experience increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts and our bad debt
expense may increase. Factors that may impact our ability to collect these loans include general economic conditions, compliance with laws applicable to the origination, servicing and collection of loans, the quality of our loan servicers
performance and the priority that borrowers, particularly students who did not complete or were dissatisfied with their programs of study, attach to repaying these loans as compared to other obligations. All of these factors could result in the
Genesis discount loan program having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on a single company to provide financial aid processing for our students. If
that company fails or refuses to timely provide such service, or materially increases its fees, our business could be harmed.

We utilize a single company to provide the financial aid packaging and processing for our students financial aid. We have
experienced periodic delays or backlogs of financial aid processing when this companys resources have become overburdened. If this company were to cease doing business with us, we could experience an interruption in financial aid processing
for our students. Although we believe we could find alternative service providers or we could begin to process financial aid in-house, we may be unable to establish relationships with alternative service providers that will be as favorable as the
one we have now. For example, new service providers may have higher prices, lower capacity, lower quality standards or longer delivery times. Additionally, we are beginning to bring in-house some of these financial aid functions that have
historically been performed for us by third parties. That transition also involves risks. If we are unable to provide financial aid processing for our students in a timely and accurate manner, or if such services are delayed or becomes more
expensive, this could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

If students fail to pay
their outstanding balances, our business will be harmed.

We offer a variety of payment plans to help students pay that
portion of their education expense not covered by financial aid programs. These balances are unsecured and not guaranteed. Losses related to unpaid student balances in excess of the amounts we have reserved could have a material adverse effect on
our business.

Our marketing and advertising efforts may not be effective in attracting prospective students.

In order to maintain and increase our revenues and margins, we must continue to attract new students in an effective and
efficient manner. If we are unable to successfully advertise and market our schools, our ability to attract and enroll new students could be adversely impacted and, consequently, our financial performance could suffer. We use marketing tools such as
the Internet, radio, television and print media advertising to promote our schools and programs. Our representatives also make presentations at high schools. If we are unable to utilize these advertising methods in a cost-effective manner or if our
other costs limit the amount of funds we can contribute to advertising, our revenue and margins may suffer. Additionally, we rely on the general reputation of our schools and referrals from current students, alumni and employers as a source of new
students. Among the factors that could prevent us from successfully marketing and advertising our schools and programs are the failure of our marketing tools and strategy to appeal to prospective students or current student and/or employer
dissatisfaction with our program offerings or results and diminished access to high school campuses.

If we cannot
effectively identify, acquire and integrate additional schools, it could harm our business.

We expect to continue to
rely on acquisitions as a component of our growth strategy. We often engage in evaluations of, and discussions with, possible acquisition candidates. We cannot make assurances that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or that
we will be able to acquire any of the acquisition candidates on favorable terms. Furthermore, we cannot make assurances that any acquired schools can be successfully integrated into our operations or be operated profitably. Acquisitions involve a
number of risks that include:



| |  |  | diversion of management resources;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | integration of the acquired schools operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse short-term effects on reported operating results; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | possible loss of key employees.

Continued growth through acquisitions may also subject us to unanticipated business or regulatory uncertainties or liabilities. When we
acquire an existing school, we typically allocate a significant portion of the purchase price to fixed assets, curriculum, goodwill and intangibles, such as covenants not-to-compete, trade names and accreditations. The Company does not amortize
goodwill, accreditation, or trade names as these assets meet the indefinite life criteria outlined in the accounting guidance. Curricula are amortized over their useful lives ranging generally from three to fifteen years and Student Relationships is
being amortized over their useful life of one year. Goodwill is tested annually or more frequently for impairment. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, by comparing
their fair values to their carrying amounts. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives. In addition, our acquisition of a school is a change of ownership of that school, which may
result in the temporary suspension of that schools participation in federal student financial aid programs until it obtains the EDs approval. If we fail to successfully manage our acquisitions, our business would likely suffer.

Failure to effectively manage opening new schools and adding new services could harm
our business.

Establishing new schools requires us to make investments in management, capital expenditures, marketing
expenses and other resources. To open a new school, we are also required to obtain appropriate state and accrediting agency approvals. In addition, to be eligible for federal student financial aid programs, the new school is required to be certified
as eligible to receive Title IV funds by the ED. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully open new schools in the future. Our failure to effectively manage the operations of newly established schools could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

Our success depends upon our ability to recruit and retain key personnel.

We depend on key personnel, including Jack D. Massimino, Peter C. Waller, Matt A. Ouimet, Kenneth S. Ord, Beth A. Wilson, William B.
Buchanan, Mark L. Pelesh, Stan A. Mortensen, Robert C. Owen and David A. Poldoian, to effectively operate our business. If any of these people left our Company and we failed to effectively manage a transition to new people, our business could
suffer.

Our success also depends, in large part, upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified faculty, school
presidents and administrators and campus support center management. We may have difficulty locating and hiring qualified personnel, and retaining such personnel once hired. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, or our failure to
attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could cause our business to suffer.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company difficult.

Our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Delaware law contain provisions that may delay, defer or inhibit a future
acquisition of our Company not approved by our board of directors. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to negotiate with and obtain the approval of our Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation
also permits our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights as it determines, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. By using preferred stock, we could:



| |  |  | discourage a proxy contest;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | make the acquisition of a substantial block of our common stock more difficult; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit the price investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We face litigation that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We and our schools are subject to various lawsuits, investigations and claims, covering a wide range of matters,
including, but not limited to, claims involving our current and former students, alleged violations of federal and state laws, false claims made to the federal government and routine employment matters. It is possible that we may be required to pay
substantial damages or settlement costs in excess of our insurance coverage or current reserves, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation. We could also incur substantial legal costs, and
managements attention and resources could be diverted from our business. Please see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, for more detailed information on these litigation risks.

Failure to keep pace with changing market needs and technology could harm our business.

Prospective employers of our graduates increasingly demand that their entry-level employees possess appropriate technological skills.
Educational programs at our schools, particularly programs in information technology, must keep pace with these evolving requirements. If we cannot respond to changes in industry requirements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Competitors with greater resources could harm our business.

The post-secondary education market is highly competitive, and has become ever more so over the past several years. Our schools compete
with traditional public and private two-year and four-year colleges and universities and other proprietary schools, including those that offer on-line learning programs. Some public and private colleges and universities, as well as other private
career-oriented schools, may offer programs similar to those of our schools. Although tuition at many private non-profit institutions is higher than tuition at our schools, some public institutions are able to charge lower tuition than our schools,
due in part to government subsidies, government and foundation grants, tax-deductible contributions and other financial sources not available to proprietary schools. Some of our competitors in both the public and private sectors have substantially
greater financial and other resources than us.

Failure to obtain additional capital in the future could reduce our ability to grow.

We believe that funds from operations, cash, investments and access to our credit facility that expires in July 2010
will be adequate to fund our currently identified plans. However, we may need additional debt or equity financing in order to carry out our growth strategies. The amount and timing of such additional financing will vary depending on the timing and
size of acquisitions, our availability to access credit markets, and the sellers willingness to provide financing themselves. To the extent that we require additional financing in the future and are unable to obtain such additional financing,
we may not be able to fully implement our growth strategy.

If natural disasters, terrorist attacks, public transit
strikes or economic downturns occur in specific geographic areas where we have a high concentration of schools, our business could be harmed.

We have large numbers of schools concentrated in certain geographic areas. For instance, we have a high concentration of schools in
California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, the Province of Ontario and other states and cities. We expect to continue to have high concentrations of schools in large metropolitan areas as we create new branch campuses and acquire new schools.
These geographic concentrations may change or intensify over time. If natural disasters, terrorist attacks, public transit strikes, economic developments or other adverse events occur or are more intensively felt in some of these concentrated
geographic areas, our business and results of operations could be disproportionately affected compared to the rest of the United States and Canada.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our campus support center office is located in Santa Ana, California and our 118 campuses, as of June 30, 2010, are located in
25 states and in the province of Ontario, Canada. Each campus provides our students with lecture halls, instructional labs, libraries, Internet access and other facilities.

We actively monitor the capacity at our facilities and the expected future facilities capacity required to accommodate campus growth
initiatives. We provide for expansion and future growth at each campus through relocations to larger facilities and by expanding or remodeling existing facilities. From the beginning of fiscal 2006 through fiscal 2010, approximately 14% of the
campuses have been relocated and an additional approximately 64% of total campuses have been either expanded or remodeled. The following table reflects the number of campuses added, closed or combined, and the number of campuses that have been
relocated, enlarged or remodeled during each of the last five fiscal years ended and has been updated to reflect solely continuing operations:

All but nine of our
facilities are leased. In addition, we lease our campus support center offices. Most of our leases have primary terms between 5 and 10 years with options to extend the lease, at our election.

Square footage of our schools and colleges varies significantly based upon the type of programs offered and the market being served.
Please see the section entitled Programs of Study in Item 1, Business, for square footage by location.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Matters

In the
ordinary conduct of its business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits, demands in arbitration, investigations and other claims, including, but not limited to, lawsuits and claims involving current and former students,
employment-related matters, business disputes and regulatory demands. In some of the lawsuits and arbitrations pending against the Company, including matters not presently deemed to be material and which are not disclosed below, the plaintiffs seek
certification of the matter as a class action in order to represent other similarly-situated persons. Except as disclosed below, none of the matters currently pending against the Company in which plaintiffs seek class certification has yet been
certified as a class action. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company
records a liability for the loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the specific claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the
amount involved is material. There can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against the Company, including those disclosed below, will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial condition or results of operations.

Between July 21, 2004 and July 23, 2004, two derivative actions
captioned Collet, Derivatively on behalf of Corinthian Colleges, Inc., v. David Moore, et al., andDavila, Derivatively on behalf of Corinthian Colleges, Inc., v. David Moore, et al., were filed in the Orange County California Superior
Court against David Moore, Dennis Beal, Dennis Devereux, Beth Wilson, Mary Barry, Stan Mortensen, Bruce Deyong, Loyal Wilson, Jack Massimino, Linda Skladany, Paul St. Pierre, Michael Berry, and Anthony Digiovanni, and against the Company as a
nominal defendant. Each individual defendant is one of the Companys current or former officers and/or directors. The lawsuits allege breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment,
and violations of the California corporations code, essentially based on the same allegations of conduct complained of in the initial federal securities class action complaints filed at the same time. The Collet andDavila cases
have now been consolidated into one action. A memorandum of understanding was executed by the parties resolving these cases, pending court approval, for an immaterial amount of attorneys fees to be paid by the Companys directors
and officers insurance carrier to the plaintiffs lawyers, and with the Company agreeing to certain corporate governance matters. On October 29, 2009, the Court denied the parties motion for approval of the settlement, but the
parties continue to explore avenues to resolve this matter.

On October 3, 2007, the Company was notified that a qui
tam action had been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by a former employee (the relator) on behalf of himself and the federal government. The case is captioned United States of America, ex
rel. Steven Fuhr v. Corinthian Colleges, Inc. The Company subsequently learned of two other qui tamactions filed against the Company captioned United States of America, ex rel. Nyoka Lee and Talala Mshuja v. Corinthian Colleges, Inc.,
et al., and United States of America, ex rel. Stephen Backhus v. Corinthian Colleges, Inc., et al., filed in the United States District Courts for the Central District of California and the Middle District of Florida, respectively. These
qui tam actions allege violations of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729-33, by the Company for allegedly causing false claims to be paid, or allegedly using false statements to get claims paid or approved by the federal government,
because of alleged Company violations of the Higher Education Act (the HEA) regarding the manner in which admissions personnel are compensated. The Lee complaint also alleges causes of action for common law fraud, unjust
enrichment and payment under mistake of fact against the Company, Ernst & Young LLP (the Companys Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm), and David Moore, Jack Massimino, Paul St. Pierre, Alice Kane, Linda Skladany, Hank Adler
and Terry Hartshorn (all of whom are current or former directors of the Company). On March 4, 2009, the Company received written notices that the U.S. Department of Justice had declined to intervene in, or take over, thesequi tam
actions, and the United States District Courts in which the cases were filed unsealed the complaints. Although the government declined to intervene in these actions, the relators may continue to pursue the litigation on behalf of the federal
government and, if successful, receive a portion of the federal governments recovery. Additionally, upon a showing of good cause, the government has the right to intervene in the actions at a later time. The Backhus complaint has since
been voluntarily dismissed and, on August 3, 2009, the U.S. District Court issued an order dismissing the Fuhr complaint with prejudice. That dismissal was appealed, but has since been voluntarily abandoned and dismissed by the relator
in that case. TheLee complaint was dismissed with prejudice by the U.S. District Court on December 4, 2009. The Leedismissal was also appealed. The Company believes these complaints are without merit and intends to defend itself
and its current and former directors vigorously in these matters.

On May 28, 2008, a putative class action demand in
arbitration captionedRivera v. Sequoia Education, Inc. and Corinthian Colleges, Inc. was filed with the American Arbitration Association. The plaintiffs are nine current or former HVAC students from the Companys WyoTech Fremont campus.
The arbitration demand alleges violations of Californias Business and Professions Code Sections 17200 and 17500, fraud and intentional deceit, negligent misrepresentation, breach

##### Table of Contents

of contract and unjust enrichment/restitution, all related to alleged deficiencies and misrepresentations regarding the HVAC program at these campuses. The plaintiffs seek to certify a class
composed of all HVAC students in the Companys WyoTech Fremont and WyoTech Oakland campuses over the prior four years, and seek recovery of compensatory and punitive damages, interest, restitution and attorneys fees and costs. The Company
never operated any HVAC programs at the Companys WyoTech Oakland campus during its ownership of that campus. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations.

On September 4, 2009, the Company was served with a petition filed in Dallas County District Court entitled Miesha Daniels, et
al. v. Rhodes Colleges, Inc., Rhodes Business Group, Inc., and Corinthian Colleges, Inc. The petition names thirteen former students of three Dallas-area Everest campuses as plaintiffs and does not seek certification as a class action. The
plaintiffs allege violations of Texas Deceptive Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act, breach of contract and fraud related to alleged pre-enrollment representations regarding credit transfer, quality of education and outcomes. The
plaintiffs seek recovery of compensatory and exemplary damages and attorneys fees. The action has been ordered to arbitration where individual arbitration demands have been filed. The plaintiffs attorneys have also informed us of nearly
one hundred additional current or former students they claim to represent, and upon whose behalf they may file arbitration or litigation claims. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

On November 17, 2008, an action captioned Mary Credille and Roger Madden, on behalf of all similarly situated current
and former employees, v. Corinthian Colleges et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The two named plaintiffs are former employees of the Companys Chicago campus, and allege failure to receive
proper compensation for all overtime hours allegedly worked in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Plaintiff Credille has voluntarily dismissed her claims against the Company. On December 8, 2009, the Court granted Plaintiff
Maddens motion to conditionally certify a collective action to include those current and former admissions representatives at the Companys Chicago campus who also satisfy additional requirements. It is unknown whether any, or how many,
of the prospective participants, estimated to be around 50 current and former employees, will choose to opt in to participate in the lawsuit. To date, we are aware of only one additional former employee who has elected to opt in to the
lawsuit. The Company intends to challenge the conditional certification at the second stage of the certification process. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

On April 20, 2010, a putative class action complaint captioned Reed, an individual, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated v. Florida Metropolitan University, Inc. and Corinthian Colleges, Inc. was filed in the District Court of Travis County, Texas. Florida Metropolitan University, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Plaintiff purports
to be a former student in the Companys Everest University Online operations. The complaint claims violations of Texas Education Code Sections 132.051(a) and 132.059(a) for alleged failure of Everest University Online to receive a Certificate
of Approval or an exemption from the appropriate Texas state licensing bodies to offer online courses in the State of Texas and to register its admissions representatives with the State of Texas. The plaintiff seeks to certify a class composed
of all persons who contracted to receive distance education from Everest University Online while residing in Texas, and seeks damages on behalf of such persons, pre- and post-judgment interest, declaratory and injunctive relief, cost of suit, and
such other relief as the court deems proper. On July 26, 2010, the Court ordered the matter to binding arbitration. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to defend itself and its subsidiary vigorously.

On December 17, 2009, an action captioned Mancuso, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. Florida Metropolitan
University, Inc and Corinthian Colleges, Inc, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The named plaintiff is an admissions representative of the Companys Pompano Beach campus, and alleges failure to
receive proper compensation for all overtime hours allegedly worked in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. On June 24, 2010, the Court granted Plaintiffs motion to conditionally certify a collective action to include those current
and former admissions representatives at the Companys Pompano Beach campus who also satisfy additional requirements. The plaintiff has also filed a motion requesting the Court to broaden the collective action from the Pompano campus to all
admissions representatives at every campus nationwide. The Company is opposing this motion. It is unknown whether any, or how many, of the prospective participants will choose to opt in to participate in the lawsuit. The Company intends
to challenge the conditional certification of the Pompano Beach campus at the second stage of the certification process. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

In addition to the legal proceedings and other matters described above, the Company is or may become a party to pending or threatened
lawsuits related primarily to services currently or formerly performed by the Company. Such cases and claims raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including, but not limited to,
class action certification, governmental intervention, regulatory or administrative agency involvement, the facts and circumstances of each particular case or claim, the jurisdiction in which each suit is brought, and differences in applicable
statutory and common law.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had established aggregate reserves for all of the
matters disclosed above, as well as for those additional matters where the liabilities are probable and losses estimable but for which the Company does not believe the matters are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the results of
operations or financial condition of the Company, which are immaterial to the Companys financial position. The Company regularly evaluates the reasonableness of its accruals and makes any adjustments considered necessary. Due to the
uncertainty of the outcome of litigation and claims, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the upper end of the range of potential liability for these matters. Upon resolution of any pending legal matters, the Company may incur
charges in excess of presently established reserves. While any such charge could have a material adverse impact on the Companys results of operations in the period in which it is recorded or paid, management does not believe that any such
charge would have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or liquidity.

SECURITIES

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Payment of dividends in the future, if at all, will depend upon our earnings and
financial condition and various other factors our Board of Directors may deem appropriate at the time. Our amended credit agreement limits the payment of cash dividends.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On October 31, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved a share repurchase of up to $50 million of the Companys
common stock. From November 2006 through May 2007, the Company purchased 2,256,638 shares at a total cost of $31.4 million (an average share price of $13.90 per share).

During July 2010, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to
$200 million of its common stock.

Price Range of Common Stock

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market System under the symbol COCO. The approximate number of holders of

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the Companys Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.

Background and Overview

As of June 30, 2010, we operated 118 colleges with 110,580 students in 25 states and the province of Ontario, Canada. During the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company had net revenues of $1,763.8 million. Our revenues consist principally of student tuition and fees and are presented as net revenues after adjustments for refunds related to students who do not
complete their courses. We recognize revenues pro-rata (on a straight-line basis) over the relevant period attended by the student of the applicable course or program.

Net revenues from continuing operations increased 34.9% to $1,763.8 million in 2010 from $1,307.8 million in 2009. The increase is
primarily due to a 29.0% increase in the average student population and a 4.5% increase in the average revenue rate per student during the period. The revenue related to Heald for the six months ending June 30, 2010 was $121.0 million and the
student population of Heald was 15,447 as of June 30, 2010. The student population varies depending on, among other factors, the number of (i) continuing students at the beginning of a fiscal period, (ii) new student enrollments
during the fiscal period, (iii) students who have previously withdrawn but who reenter during the fiscal period, and (iv) graduations and withdrawals during the fiscal period. New student starts typically occur several times per month in
the diploma-granting colleges. In the degree-granting colleges, the majority of new student starts occur in the first month of each calendar quarter with an additional mini-start in the second month of each quarter in most colleges. The
tuition charges vary by college depending on the local market, the program level (diploma, associates, bachelors or masters degree) and the specific curriculum. The majority of students at our colleges rely on funds received under
various government-sponsored student financial aid programs to pay a substantial portion of their tuition and other education-related expenses.

Serving ATB students has historically been part of the Companys mission. However, ATB students are a higher risk population who
complete their programs at a lower rate and default on their student loans at a higher rate than high school graduates. Accordingly, given the shift to a 3-year default measurement period and the structural changes in student lending over the past
two years, we intend to stop enrolling ATB students into our U.S. Everest and WyoTech institutions starting on September 1, 2010. At June 30, 2010, ATB students accounted for approximately 15.1% of our enrollments. The elimination of this population
of potential students will negatively impact our expected new student enrollments, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts on those financial
statements. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to our allowance for doubtful accounts, insurance/self-insurance, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred taxes, discontinued
operations, contingencies and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or if our assumptions change.

Our critical accounting estimates are those which we believe require our most significant judgments about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is as follows:

Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal of our students to make required payments. We determine the adequacy of this allowance by regularly reviewing the
accounts receivable aging and applying various expected loss percentages to certain student accounts receivable categories based upon historical bad debt experience and consideration of the current economic environment. We generally write off
accounts receivable balances deemed uncollectible as they are sent to collection agencies. We offer a variety of payment plans to help students pay that portion of their education expense not covered by financial aid programs. These balances are
unsecured and not guaranteed. We believe our reserves are adequate; however, losses related to unpaid student balances could exceed the amounts we have reserved for bad debts. The effect of an increase in our accounts receivable allowance of 3% of
our outstanding receivables from 22.4% to 25.4% or $27.5 million to $31.2 million would result in a decrease in pre-tax income of $3.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. The effect of an increase in our student notes receivable allowance
of 3% of our outstanding earned notes receivable from 47.1% to 50.1% or $60.8 million to $64.7 million would result in a decrease in pre-tax income of $3.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Many of our students in the U.S. participate in federally guaranteed student loan programs. The federally guaranteed student loans are
authorized by the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965 and are guaranteed by an agency of the federal government. The guaranteed loans are not guaranteed by us, and the guaranteed student loans cannot become an obligation of ours.
Accordingly, we do not record an obligation to repay any of the guaranteed loans that are not repaid by our former students and we do not record either a contingent obligation or an allowance for future obligations as a result of student defaults of
federally guaranteed student loans.

However, if an institutions former students default rate on guaranteed loans
(Cohort Default Rate) equals or exceeds 25% for three consecutive years, the institution may lose participation eligibility in the guaranteed loan program and its students would be denied access to the guaranteed loan program. Our institutions
Cohort Default Rates act as a gatekeeper to their eligibility to participate in the federal student financial aid programs. We have no obligation to repay any of the federally guaranteed loans that our former students default upon, even if the
Cohort Default Rates of our students exceed permitted levels. Rather, if the Cohort Default Rates at a particular institution exceed 25% for three consecutive years under current calculations, the institutions students may lose eligibility to
receive federal student financial aid. Under the HEOA, a separate calculation will be performed that will add an additional federal fiscal year of borrowers repayment performance. This percentage will increase to 30% after three years of
Cohort Default Rates calculated with the additional federal fiscal year are available, and then become applicable to the imposition of sanctions.

Insurance/Self-Insurance.We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks including claims related to
employee heath care, workers compensation, general liability, and business interruption. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated based on, among other things, historical claims experience, severity factors and other actuarial
assumptions. The Companys loss exposure related to self-insurance is limited by stop loss coverage. Our expected loss accruals are based on estimates, and while we believe the amounts accrued are adequate, the ultimate loss may differ from the
amounts provided.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We have significant goodwill and other intangible
assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired, including identified intangible assets. We consider a number of factors, including valuations and appraisals from independent valuation firms, in
determining the amounts that are assignable to other intangible assets, such as curriculum, accreditation, and trade names. We, however, are ultimately responsible for the valuations. The fair value of identified intangible assets is derived using
accepted valuation methodologies, including cost, market, and income approaches, as appropriate, following consultations with valuation firms and in accordance with the accounting guidance on Business Combinations and requirements set forth by the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

The Company does not amortize goodwill, accreditation, or trade names
as these assets meet the indefinite life criteria outlined in the accounting guidance on Accounting for Business Combinations. Curricula continue to be amortized over their useful lives ranging generally from three to fifteen years and Student
Relationships is being amortized over their useful life of one year with all amortization expense included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill is tested annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, by comparing its fair value to its
carrying amount at the reporting unit level as defined by the accounting guidance. We determined the fair value of our reporting units using the income approach that includes discounted cash flow as well as other generally accepted valuation
methodologies. To the extent the fair value of a reporting unit is less that the carrying amount of its assets, we record an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with receipt of federal financial aid by the Companys students, the Company is subject to extensive regulation by
governmental agencies and licensing and accrediting agencies. Compliance with the regulations promulgated by these various bodies could have a material impact on the manner in which the Company conducts its business, including the significant
additional measures the Company has been implementing to address the Cohort Default Rates of its institutions and including the Companys expectation that beginning on September 1, 2010, the Company will stop enrolling ATB students into its
U.S. Everest and WyoTech institutions.

In addition, the Companys business could also be negatively impacted by proposed
and future regulations. As an example, on June 18, 2010, ED issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the June NPRM) following a year-long negotiated rulemaking process between ED and the higher education community on 14 Title IV Program
integrity issues, which include lender and general student loan issues, accreditation, discretionary grants, general and non-loan programmatic issues, safe harbors under incentive compensation rules for admissions recruiters, and standards regarding
state authorization for purposes of Title IV Program eligibility. The June NPRM addressed 13 of 14 program integrity issues in their entirety and partially addressed the 14th issue, which involves the definition of gainful employment;
the ED issued a separate NPRM on gainful employment metrics on July 26, 2010 (the July NPRM). Public comment was due on the June NPRM no later than August 2, 2010 and for the July NPRM is due no later than September 9, 2010. ED has
stated that it intends to review all comments it receives with the goal of publishing a final rule by November 1, 2010, which would take effect beginning July 1, 2011. The Company cannot predict the form of any final rules that may be adopted by ED.
As presented by ED in the NPRMs, the rules regarding incentive compensation and gainful employment could have a material impact on the manner in which the Company conducts its business. Compliance with these rules, which, if adopted could be
effective as early as July 1, 2011, may cause the Company to take actions beyond those the Company is already taking in connection with its compliance with existing regulations, and could reduce enrollment, increase the cost of doing business, and
have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. To the extent known, the Company has incorporated the risks discussed above into the cash flow forecasts and discount rates
used to estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units at June 30, 2010. However, should the Company need to take additional actions not currently foreseen to comply with current and future regulations, the assumptions used to calculate the
fair value of our reporting units, including estimation of future cash flows, revenue growth, and discount rates, could be negatively impacted and could result in an impairment of goodwill.

At June 30, 2010, the fair value of one of our reporting units with approximately $198.5 million of goodwill exceeded its carrying amount
by less than 10%. As a result, a relatively minor negative revision to the estimated future revenue growth or discount rate could result in an impairment to the carrying value of the related goodwill.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, by comparing
their fair values to their carrying amounts. To the extent the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, we record an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of operations. For instance, if we were to discontinue
the use of a trade name or lose accreditation at one or more of our acquired schools to which we have ascribed value for trade names and accreditation, we would test the amounts we have allocated to such assets for impairment. Such testing would
include estimating the future cash flows expected to be received from the trade names and accreditation and comparing them to their carrying values. If our estimate of the present value of these future cash flows were below the carrying values of
the related assets, we would consider the assets to be impaired and take a charge against the amounts we had allocated to trade names and accreditation.

The determination of related estimated useful lives of intangible assets and whether or not
these intangible assets are impaired involves significant judgment. Although we believe our goodwill and intangible assets are fairly stated, changes in strategy or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments
to asset balances.

Deferred Taxes. We currently have deferred income tax assets which are subject to periodic
recoverability assessments. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. Realization of our deferred income tax assets is principally dependent upon
achievement of projected future taxable income offset by deferred income tax liabilities. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred income tax assets annually. In addition, we review our income tax filing positions quarterly and update our tax
contingency reserves as necessary. See Note 9Income Taxes.

Contingencies. In the ordinary conduct of the
business, we are subject to occasional lawsuits, investigations and claims, including, but not limited to, claims involving students and graduates and routine employment matters. When we are aware of a claim or potential claim, we assess the
likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can reasonably estimated, we record a liability for the loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably
estimated, we disclose the nature of the specific claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved is material. There can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of any of the lawsuits, investigations or
claims pending against us will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Acquisitions/Dispositions

Since our inception, we have completed the following acquisitions and disposals. Each acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The results of operations related to the transactions are included in our consolidated results of operations since their respective dates:

On June 30, 1995, we acquired five colleges from National Education Corporation. As part of the same transaction, we
subsequently acquired from National Education Corporation a second group of five colleges on September 30, 1995 and an additional six colleges on December 31, 1995. The adjusted purchase price for all 16 colleges was approximately $4.7
million in cash.

From July 1, 1996 through October 17, 1996, we acquired a total of 20 colleges in 3
separate transactions for a purchase price of $24.2 million in cash.

On January 18, 2000, we acquired
substantially all of the assets of Harbor Medical College, which operated one college in Torrance, California, for approximately $300,000 in cash.

On April 1, 2000, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the Georgia Medical Institute, which operated three
colleges in the greater Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area, for approximately $7.0 million in cash.

On
June 1, 2000, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Academy of Business College, Inc. which operated one college in Phoenix, Arizona, for approximately $1.0 million in cash.

On October 23, 2000, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Educorp, Inc. which operated four colleges in
California, for approximately $12.6 million in cash.

On November 1, 2000, we acquired substantially all

On April 1, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of National
School of Technology, Inc., which operated three campuses in the greater Miami, Florida area, for approximately $14.4 million in cash.

On July 1, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of WyoTech Acquisition Corporation, which operated two
colleges in Laramie, Wyoming and Blairsville, Pennsylvania. The cash purchase price was $84.4 million and was funded through cash on hand and approximately $43 million provided from our credit facility.

On January 2, 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Learning Tree University, Inc. and LTU Extension,
Inc., which operated two training centers in Southern California, for approximately $3.3 million in cash, plus the possibility of an additional $2.0 million if the acquired operations achieved certain operating performance targets. We closed the two
LTU training centers in May 2004.

On August 1, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Career
Choices, Inc., which operated 10 campuses in California, Washington and Oregon, for approximately $56.3 million, financed through a combination of available cash and borrowings from our credit facility. We combined one of the campuses in Washington
with other campuses in close proximity in June 2004. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 the Company completed the teach-out of its Everett, WA campus.

On August 6, 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets of East Coast Aero Tech, LLC, which operated one
campus in Massachusetts, for approximately $3.2 million plus or minus certain balance sheet adjustments, financed through a combination of available cash and borrowings from our credit facility.

On August 19, 2003, we acquired approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of common stock of CDI Education
Corporation (CDI) through a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock. As of October 7, 2003, we had acquired all shares of CDI for approximately $42.1 million and the assumption of approximately $10
million of debt and other liabilities. We funded the acquisition with available cash and borrowings from our credit facility. CDI operated 45 post-secondary colleges and 15 corporate training centers throughout Canada. In October 2003, we completed
the acquisition of CMA Careers, Inc. located in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The intent to acquire this campus by CDI had been agreed to prior to our acquisition of CDI. We combined one of the CDI campuses with another campus in close proximity in
April 2004 and closed 11 campuses and one training center in fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2006 we completed the sale of substantially all the assets of CDIs corporate training division, CDI Education, whereby we sold the remaining training
centers. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $1.4 million (pre-tax) which is included within other (income) expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

On August 4, 2004, we acquired substantially all of the assets of A.M.I., Inc. (AMI) for approximately
$11 million, plus the assumption of certain liabilities of approximately $0.5 million. We funded the acquisition with available cash. AMI operates one campus in Daytona Beach, Florida that offers accredited diploma programs to prepare students for
jobs as motorcycle, marine, and personal watercraft technicians.

Effective February 29, 2008 we completed
the sale of the 12 Canadian schools located outside the province of Ontario to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Eminata Group, for a cash payment of CAD $3.0 million. This payment consists of the purchase price of CAD $7.4 million less preliminary
negative working capital and other adjustments equal to CAD $4.4 million. This cash payment was subject to a final working capital adjustment that was finalized during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The final working capital adjustment resulted
in a payment to the buyer of $0.1 million.

Effective May 1, 2008, we completed the sale of the WyoTech
Boston campus. The transaction was subject to a final working capital adjustment that was finalized during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The final working capital adjustment resulted in a payment to the buyer of $0.1 million.

On January 4, 2010 we completed the acquisition of Heald Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(Heald) for consideration of $395 million and a preliminary working capital adjustment of $22.2 million. Heald, through its subsidiaries, operates Heald College, a regionally accredited institution that prepares students for careers in
healthcare, business, legal, information technology and other growing fields, primarily through associate degree programs. Heald College operates 11 campuses and its results are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the
date of acquisition.

Results of Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we decided to divest the WyoTech Oakland campus. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we sold the
capital assets of WyoTech Oakland for $0.2 million. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2008, we completed the teach-out of our Lynnwood WA, Everett WA, and Atlanta GA campuses.

Accordingly, the results of operations of these campuses are reflected as discontinued
operations in the Companys consolidated statements of income for all prior periods presented. The net assets held for sale are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Accordingly, during the
fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $2.6 million, net of income tax benefit of $1.2 million, to accrue future rental payments related to the closed campuses and to reduce the carrying value of the net assets of the
Companys campuses held for sale and closed to estimated fair value, less costs to sell, as of June 30, 2008 (primarily related to the accrued rent of $2.8 million and the impairment of fixed assets in the amount of $1.0 million).
Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded an additional reserve of approximately $0.9 million and $2.2 million (net of tax), respectively, taken against receivables related to the Atlanta campus. These
charges are reflected as a component of loss from discontinued operations on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company expects to have no significant continuing involvement with these
entities.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company decided to divest all of its CDI campuses outside of the province of
Ontario, Canada, as well as the WyoTech Boston campus (the Sale Group). The schools were sold in fiscal year 2008. Accordingly, the results of operations of the campuses within the Sale Group are reflected as discontinued operations in
our consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. Effective February 29, 2008 the Company completed the sale of its 12 Canadian schools located outside the province of Ontario to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Eminata Group,
for a cash payment of CAD $3.0 million. This payment consists of the purchase price of CAD $7.4 million less preliminary negative working capital and other adjustments equal to CAD $4.4 million. This cash payment was subject to a final working
capital adjustment that was finalized during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The final working capital adjustment resulted in a payment to the buyer of $0.1 million.

On January 4, 2010 the Company completed its acquisition of Heald Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(Heald) for consideration of $395 million and a preliminary working capital adjustment of $22.2 million. Heald, through its subsidiaries, operates Heald College, a regionally accredited institution that prepares students for careers in
healthcare, business, legal, information technology and other growing fields, primarily through associate degree programs. Heald College operates 11 campuses and its results are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the
date of acquisition.

We categorize our expenses as educational services, general and administrative, and marketing and
admissions. Educational services expenses primarily consist of those costs incurred to deliver and administer the education programs at the colleges, including faculty and college administration compensation; college facility rent and other
occupancy costs; bad debt expense; education materials and supplies; bookstore and classroom expenses; depreciation and amortization of college property and equipment; default management expenses and financial aid processing costs.

General and administrative expenses consist principally of those costs incurred at the campus support center and regional level in
support of college operations, except for marketing and admissions related costs. Included in general and administrative expenses are costs relating to executive management, campus support center staff and regional operations management
compensation; depreciation and amortization of corporate property and equipment and certain intangibles; rent and other occupancy costs for campus support center; and other expenses incurred at campus support center. Additionally, all bonus and
other incentive compensation expenses are included in general and administrative expenses.

Marketing and admissions expenses
include compensation for college admissions staff, regional admissions personnel, compensation expenses for marketing management, and all direct marketing and production costs.

Year Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2009

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased $456.0 million, or 34.9%, from $1,307.8 million in fiscal 2009 to $1,763.8 million in fiscal
2010. The increase is primarily due to a 29.0% increase in the average student population and a 4.5% increase in the average revenue rate per student during the period. At June 30, 2010, student population was 110,580, compared with 86,088 at
June 30, 2009. Total student starts increased 17.5% to 137,831 for the year ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the prior year. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, we operated 118 and 106 colleges, respectively.

Educational Services. Educational services expenses include direct operating expenses of the schools consisting primarily of
payroll and payroll related expenses, rents, occupancy, supplies expenses, bad debt expense and other educational related expenses. Educational services expenses increased $219.2 million, or 29.1%, from $753.7 million in fiscal 2009 to $972.9
million in fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net revenues, educational services expenses decreased from 57.6 % of revenues in fiscal 2009 to 55.2% of revenues in fiscal 2010. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to a
reduction in bad debt expense and facility costs. Bad debt expense amounted to $94.6 million and 5.4% of net revenue in fiscal 2010 compared to $106.7 million and 8.2% of net revenue in fiscal 2009. The improvement in bad debt expense was primarily
the result of higher student retention and continued efficiencies in packaging students with financial aid. The reduction in facility costs as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to the amounts being generally fixed in nature.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include corporate compensation expenses, headquarters
office rents and occupancy expenses, professional fees and other support related expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $56.9 million, or 41.9%, from $135.7 million in fiscal 2009 to $192.6 million in fiscal 2010. As a percentage of
net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased from 10.4% in fiscal 2009 to 10.9% in fiscal 2010. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to transaction costs of $4.0 million related to the Heald acquisition incurred
during fiscal 2010.

Marketing and Admissions.Marketing and admissions expenses consist primarily of
direct-response and other advertising expenses, payroll and payroll related expenses, promotional materials and other related marketing costs. Marketing and admissions expenses increased $62.9 million, or 21.3%, from $294.7 million in fiscal 2009 to
$357.6 million in fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing and admissions expenses decreased from 22.6% in fiscal 2009 to 20.3% in fiscal 2010. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in
advertising costs. The cost per start increased $82, or 3.3%, from $2,512 in fiscal 2009 to $2,594 in fiscal 2010.

Impairment, Facility Closing and Severance Charges. In fiscal 2009, we incurred impairment and severance charges of $4.4 million.
Of that amount, approximately $2.5 million is related to a loss on student loan receivables associated with the Marietta and Jonesboro, Georgia campuses. These schools were branches of the Atlanta, Georgia campus during a portion of the previous
fiscal year. In addition, the Company recorded a severance charge of $1.9 million. There were no impairment charges in fiscal 2010.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate was 39.5% of income before income taxes in fiscal 2010 compared to 39.3%
of income before income taxes in fiscal 2009.

Year Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2008

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased $239.1 million, or 22.4%, from $1,068.7 million in fiscal 2008 to $1,307.8 million in fiscal
2009. The increase is primarily due to a 15.1% increase in the average student population and a 6.3% increase in the average revenue rate per student during the period. At June 30, 2009, student population related to continuing operations was
86,088, compared with 69,211 at June 30, 2008. Total student starts related to continuing operations increased 17.1% to 117,352 for the year ended June 30, 2009 when compared to the prior year. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, we
operated 106 colleges.

Educational Services. Educational services expenses include direct operating expenses of the
schools consisting primarily of payroll and payroll related expenses, rents, occupancy, supplies expenses, bad debt expense and other educational related expenses. Educational services expenses increased $128.2 million, or 20.5%, from $625.5 million
in fiscal 2008 to $753.7 million in fiscal 2009. As a percentage of net revenues, educational services expenses decreased from 58.5% of revenues in fiscal 2008 to 57.6% of revenues in fiscal 2009. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was
primarily due to a reduction in facility and personnel costs, partially offset by an increase in bookstore and bad debt expense. Bad debt expense amounted to $106.7 million and 8.2% of net revenue in fiscal 2009 compared to $72.8 million and 6.8% of
net revenue in fiscal 2008. The increase in bad debt expense was primarily due to additional exposure the Company incurred to student receivables as a result of the contraction of liquidity in the credit markets for subprime borrowers. The reduction
in facility and personnel costs as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to the amounts being generally fixed in nature.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include corporate compensation expenses, headquarters office rents
and occupancy expenses, professional fees and other support related expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $20.8 million, or 18.1%, from $114.9 million in fiscal 2008 to $135.7 million in fiscal 2009. As a percentage of net
revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased from 10.8% of net revenues in fiscal 2008 to 10.4% of net revenues in fiscal 2009.

Marketing and Admissions.Marketing and admissions expenses consist primarily of direct-response and other advertising expenses,
payroll and payroll related expenses, promotional materials and other related marketing costs. Marketing and admissions expenses increased $17.8 million, or 6.4%, from $276.9 million in fiscal 2008 to $294.7 million in fiscal 2009. As a percentage
of net revenues, marketing and admissions expenses decreased from 25.9% of net revenues in fiscal 2008 to 22.6% of net revenues in fiscal 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in advertising costs. The cost per start decreased
$251, or 9.1%, from $2,763 in fiscal 2008 to $2,512 in fiscal 2009.

Impairment, Facility Closing and Severance
Charges. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we incurred impairment and severance charges of $4.4 million. Of that amount, approximately $2.5 million is related to a loss on student loan receivables associated with the Marietta and Jonesboro,
Georgia campuses. These schools were branches of the Atlanta, Georgia campus during a portion of the previous fiscal year. Due to accreditation issues, the Atlanta campus was closed during fiscal 2008 and placed in discontinued operations. In
addition, the Company recorded a severance charge of $1.9 million.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective income
tax rate was 39.3% of income before income taxes in fiscal 2009 compared to 31.2% of income before income taxes in fiscal 2008. The lower effective rate in fiscal 2008 was due to a reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions following the
completion of the IRS exam for fiscal years 2004 through 2006 and the filing of an application for a change in accounting method with the IRS during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we
recognized a benefit related to the Pennsylvania Keystone Opportunity Zone Credit for taxes paid during fiscal years 2004 to 2007.

Discontinued Operations. The loss of $2.4 million in discontinued operations includes
the operating results of the campuses closed and a reserve of approximately $0.9 million (net of tax) taken against receivables related to the Atlanta campus.

Seasonality and Other Factors Affecting Quarterly Results

Our revenues normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business. Student population varies as a result of new student
enrollments and student attrition. Historically, our colleges, schools and training centers have had lower student populations in the first fiscal quarter than in the remainder of the year. Our expenses, however, do not vary as significantly as
student population and revenues. We expect quarterly fluctuations in operating results to continue as a result of seasonal enrollment patterns. Such patterns may change, however, as a result of acquisitions, new branch openings, new program
adoptions and increased enrollments from recent high school graduates. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. See the footnote entitled Selected Quarterly Financial Summary
(Unaudited) of the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) with aggregate
borrowing capacity of $280 million, of which $260 million was a domestic facility and $20 million, was a Canadian facility. On February 22, 2010, the Company increased by $35 million the aggregate capacity under the Credit
Facility. The aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is now $315 million, of which $295 million is a domestic facility and $20 million, is a Canadian facility. The Credit Facility expires on October 1, 2012. The
Credit Facility has been established to provide available funds for acquisitions, to fund general corporate purposes, and to provide for letters of credit issuances of up to $50 million for domestic letters of credit and $15 million for Canadian
letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at several pricing alternatives available to us, including Eurodollar and adjusted reference or base rates. The domestic base rate is defined as the higher of (a) the Federal Funds
Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the Bank of America prime rate, or (c) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The Canadian base rate is defined as the higher of (a) the average rate for 30 day Canadian Dollar bankers
acceptances plus 3/4 of 1%, (b) the Bank of America Canada prime rate or (c) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants requiring the
maintenance of consolidated net worth, fixed charge coverage ratios, leverage ratios, and a U.S. Department of Education (ED) financial responsibility composite score ratio. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with
all of the covenants. As of June 30, 2010, the credit facility had borrowings outstanding of $284.3 million and approximately $26.3 million to support standby letters of credit. A $15.8 million letter of credit was released in July 2010. The
third amended and restated credit agreement is secured by the stock of the Companys significant operating subsidiaries and it is guaranteed by the Companys present and future significant operating subsidiaries. Average daily borrowings
outstanding amounted to $57.8 million in fiscal 2010, $25.1 million in fiscal 2009 and $31.8 million in fiscal 2008.

Long-term debt also includes a term loan credit facility (the Mortgage Facility) dated March 24, 2009 between the
Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Heald Real Estate, LLC (Heald Real Estate), and Bank of America, N.A. (B of A) that is secured by real estate of Heald Real Estate and guaranteed by Heald Capital, LLC and Heald
Education, LLC (the Heald Guarantors). On January 4, 2010, Heald Real Estate, the Heald Guarantors and B of A entered into an amendment and waiver to the Mortgage Facility (the 1st Amendment and Waiver), pursuant to
which B of A waived compliance with all covenants and defaults under the Mortgage Facility except for the requirement that Heald Real Estate continue making regularly scheduled payments under the Mortgage Facility. Also on January 4, 2010,
Corinthian entered into a Continuing and Unconditional Guaranty to guarantee the obligations of Heald Real Estate under the Mortgage Facility. The parties also agreed that any defaults under Corinthians syndicated Third Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) will constitute a default under the Mortgage Facility. On March 31, 2010, Heald Real Estate, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amended Heald Credit
Agreement) with B of A as administrative agent for the lenders, and each lender from time to time party thereto. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Heald Credit Agreement, the parties amended and restated the covenants and default provisions
under the Mortgage Facility to substantially parallel those provisions in the Companys Credit Facility. All other material provisions of the Mortgage Facility remained substantially unchanged. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness
of the Amended Heald Credit Agreement, Bank of the West agreed to assume approximately $8 million, and Heald Real Estate prepaid approximately $7 million, of the loans outstanding under the Mortgage Facility. The total outstanding principal and
interest under the Amended Heald Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2010 was approximately $15.8 million. The outstanding term loans under the Amended Heald Credit Agreement bear interest, at Heald Real Estates option, either (a) at the
Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Heald Credit Agreement) or (b) at the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Heald Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus 3.00% per annum. The minimum interest rate is
4.00% per annum. The Amended Heald Credit Agreement matures on March 24, 2012. The Amended Heald Credit Agreement has a related fixed interest rate swap agreement with B of A that is guaranteed by the Heald Guarantors and secured by the
same collateral that secures the Amended Heald Credit Agreement. The fair value of the fixed interest rate swap is not material at June 30, 2010.

Working capital amounted to $140.4 million as of June 30, 2010 and $107.9 million as of
June 30, 2009 and the current ratio was 1.5:1 in fiscal 2010 and 1.5:1 in fiscal 2009. Average daily borrowings outstanding amounted to approximately $57.8 million in fiscal 2010, $25.1 million in fiscal 2009, and $31.8 million in fiscal 2008.
The increase in working capital compared to June 30, 2009 is primarily due to an increase in cash balances resulting from cash borrowed for purposes of calculating our composite score at year-end of $165 million, an increase in student
receivables, and prepaid expenses, partially offset by cash paid to acquire Heald, an increase in accrued expenses, accounts payable, and prepaid tuition.

Cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $204.0 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $198.7 million in fiscal 2009
and to $13.6 million in fiscal 2008. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 was primarily due to an increase in earnings before depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation of
$93.3 million and a decrease in the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation of $3.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by working capital and deferred taxes of $73.1 million and $18.7 million, respectively. Included in
cash flows from operating activities is $1.2 million and $2.6 million of net cash used in operating activities related to discontinued operations for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 respectively. There were no cash flows from discontinued operations for
fiscal 2010.

Cash flows used in investing activities amounted to $430.8 million in fiscal 2010, $48.8 million in
fiscal 2009 and $36.6 million in fiscal 2008. The increase in cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 is attributable to net cash paid to acquire Heald of $347.3 million and an increase in capital
expenditures of $34.0 million. The net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities in fiscal 2008 was $15.0 million. There were no sales of marketable securities in fiscal 2010 and 2009.

Capital expenditures amounted to $83.5 million in fiscal 2010, $49.5 million in fiscal 2009 and $54.9 million in fiscal 2008.
Capital expenditures were incurred to relocate, remodel and enlarge campuses. During fiscal 2010, we incurred capital expenditures to relocate 1 campus and to enlarge or remodel 42 campuses. During fiscal 2009, we incurred capital expenditures to
relocate 5 campuses and to enlarge or remodel 5 campuses and during fiscal 2008, we incurred capital expenditures to relocate 2 campuses and to enlarge or remodel 10 campuses. Capital expenditures of approximately $15.6 million, $13.3 million, $25.2
million were incurred to purchase and to integrate software in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. Included in cash flows from investing activities are capital expenditures of $0.1 million related to discontinued operations in
fiscal 2008. There were no capital expenditures related to discontinued operations for fiscal 2010 and 2009.

Cash flows
provided by (used in) financing activities amounted to $275.2 million in fiscal 2010 and ($21.4) million in fiscal 2009, and ($44.9) million in fiscal 2008. During fiscal 2010, cash provided by financing activities consisted of net borrowings
of $262.2 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $11.5 million, and the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation of $1.6 million. During fiscal 2009, cash used in financing
activities consisted of net repayment of borrowings of $45.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $19.2 million and the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation of
$4.7 million. During fiscal 2008, cash used in financing activities consisted of repayment of borrowings of $52.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $7.3 million.

Historically, we had developed several loan programs with origination and servicing providers such as Sallie Mae for students
with low credit scores who otherwise would not qualify for loans. These loan programs required that we pay a discount fee to the origination and servicing providers of the loans as a reserve against future defaults on these loans. We have
historically referred to these types of loans as discount loans, since we incurred a portion of the default risk related to these student loans by taking a discount on the disbursement. By accepting a reduced payment for these discounted
loans from the servicing providers, we were not at risk for the amounts agreed to by them and the service providers but were not entitled to any proceeds collected by the service providers in excess of this amount. Therefore we had recorded this
discount as a reduction to revenue.

In fiscal 2008 we were informed by Sallie Mae and two other origination and servicing
providers that they would no longer make private loans available for students who present higher credit risks (i.e. subprime borrowers). In the face of this change in policy, we created a new lending program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 with
a different origination and servicing provider, Genesis Lending Services, Inc. (Genesis), who specializes in subprime credit. This new lending program has characteristics similar to our previous discount loan programs. As
with our previous discount loan program,

under this new Genesis program we pay a discount to the origination and servicing provider for any loans purchased by Genesis and record the discount as a reduction to revenue. However, unlike
our previous discount loan programs, under our new discount program we have both the right and an obligation to acquire the related loan, except in certain limited circumstances where Genesis does not comply with the terms of our agreement. Since we
initiated the new discount program, we have acquired all of the loans that have been originated. Therefore, we are currently exposed to any credit defaults by our students but retain all amounts collected from our students under the current program.
Additionally, the new discount loan program has also replaced our legacy loan program, called STAR. We estimate loans funded under the Genesis program, net of estimated refunds have been approximately $120.0 million, $120.0 million and $10.0
million, for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These amounts are an estimate as some loans contain amounts that will be recognized during future periods. Accordingly, unrecognized loans amounts are subject to the
Companys refund policy.

Included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations, under the caption Other
(income) expense, for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is a net other income (loss) of $3.9 million and ($0.6) million, respectively, associated with the Genesis notes program, respectively. The net other income primarily reflects
the interest income and loan origination fees, partially offset by costs related to servicing loans. In accordance with accounting guidance Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial
Direct Costs of Leases, we defer and recognize both the loan origination income and direct loan origination costs as an adjustment to the yield over the life of the related loan. All other lending-related costs, including costs related to
servicing fees are charged to expense as incurred.

We believe that our working capital, cash flow from operations, access to
operating leases and borrowings available from our amended credit agreement will provide us with adequate resources for our ongoing operations and planned capital expenditures through fiscal 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2010, future minimum cash payments due under contractual obligations, including our credit agreement, mortgages, and
non-cancelable operating and capital lease agreements, are as follows:

The United States ED requires that Title IV Program funds collected in advance of student billings be kept in a separate cash or cash
equivalent account until the students are billed for the program portion related to those funds. In addition, all Title IV Program funds received by our schools through electronic funds transfer are subject to certain holding period restrictions.
These funds are also deposited into a separate account until the restrictions are satisfied. As of June 30, 2010, we held nominal amounts of such funds in separate accounts. The restrictions on any cash held have not significantly affected our
ability to fund daily operations.



|ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. We do not utilize interest rate swaps, forward or
option contracts on foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments to manage these risks.

Interest Rate Exposure. As of June 30, 2010, our only assets or liabilities subject to risks from interest rate changes are
(i) debt under the credit facility in the aggregate amount of $300.1 million and capital lease obligations of $14.2 million, and (ii) student notes receivable, net, in the aggregate amount of $68.2 million. Our capital lease obligations
and student notes receivable are all at fixed interest rates. We do not believe we are subject to material risks from reasonably possible near-term changes in market interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exposure. A portion of our operations consists of an investment in a
foreign subsidiary whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Our investment in our foreign operations as of June 30, 2010 was approximately CAD $35.8 million and we had borrowings outstanding under the credit facility of approximately
CAD $15 million. As a result, the consolidated financial results have been and could continue to be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and stockholders of

Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on
criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Corinthian Colleges, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As indicated in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, managements assessment of
and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Heald Capital LLC, which is included in the June 30, 2010 consolidated financial statements of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and
subsidiaries and constituted $89.1 million of total assets and $23.5 million of net assets, excluding intangible assets of $351.0 million as of June 30, 2010 and $121.0 million and $8.1 million of revenue and net income, respectively, for the year
then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and subsidiaries also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Heald Capital LLC.

In our opinion, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010 and our report dated August 20, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010. 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 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

Note 1Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation, was formed in October 1996 during a reorganization
transaction with a predecessor company which was accounted for as a recapitalization.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company
operated 101 colleges in 25 states and 17 colleges in the Ontario, Canada province in the for-profit, post-secondary education industry. All of the Companys U.S. schools are accredited and grant either diplomas or degrees (associates,
bachelors and masters) and offer educational opportunities from an extensive and diverse curricula library with an emphasis on four primary concentrations: allied health, business, technology, and criminal justice. All of the Canadian
schools grant diplomas and are regulated by the provincial ministry of education responsible for registering or licensing the for-profit educational institutions. Through its On-Line Learning division, the Company also offers an online learning
alternative available to students pursuing education exclusively online. Revenues generated from the Companys schools consist primarily of tuition and fees paid by students. To pay for a substantial portion of their tuition, the majority of
students rely on funds received from federal financial aid programs under Title IV (Title IV Programs) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). For further discussion, see Concentration of Risk below and the
footnote describing Governmental Regulation.

On January 4, 2010 the Company completed its acquisition of Heald Capital,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Heald) for consideration of $395 million. Heald, through its subsidiaries, operates Heald College, a regionally accredited institution that prepares students for careers in healthcare, business,
legal, information technology, and other growing fields, primarily through associate degree programs. Heald College operates 11 campuses and its results are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

Fiscal Year

Each fiscal
year ends June 30.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and each of its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany activity has been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Financial Statement Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company invests cash in excess of operating requirements in short-term time deposits, money market instruments and other investments.
Securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial
Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximates their fair value at
June 30, 2010 and 2009. In addition, the carrying value of all borrowings approximate fair value at June 30, 2010 and 2009. The student notes receivable, net, balances are presented within current and non-current assets on the consolidated
balance sheets. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, since observable market data is not readily available.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal of its
students to make required payments. The Company determines the adequacy of this allowance by regularly

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



reviewing the accounts and notes receivable aging and applying various expected loss percentages to certain student accounts receivable categories based upon historical bad debt experience and
consideration of the current economic environment. The Company generally will write-off accounts and notes receivable balances deemed uncollectible as they are sent to collection agencies. The Company offers a variety of payment plans to help
students pay that portion of their education expense not covered by financial aid programs. These balances are unsecured and not guaranteed.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated or amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:



|                               |  |                                        
|------------------------------ |  | ---------------------------------------
|Furniture and equipment        |  | 7 years                                
|Computer hardware and software |  | 3-10 years                             
|Leasehold improvements         |  | Shorter of useful life or term of lease
|Buildings (owned)              |  | 39 years                               

Internal Software Development Costs

Corinthian Colleges capitalizes certain internal software development costs in accordance with accounting guidance which
states that costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, and
payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the internal software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred. The unamortized computer software costs which are included within the Property and Equipment caption of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $59.9 million and $56.1 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The total amount of amortization expense related to capitalized computer software costs recognized within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $5.8 million, $5.4 million, and $3.3 million at
June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance
with accounting guidance which requires the recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. The Company assesses the recoverability
of its long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances or the business climate indicate that expected undiscounted future cash flows related to such long-lived assets may not be sufficient to support the
net book value of such assets. If undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to support the recorded assets, impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated fair value. Cash flow projections, although
subject to a degree of uncertainty, are based on trends of historical performance and managements estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. Additionally, in
conjunction with the review for impairment, the remaining estimated lives of certain of the Companys long-lived assets are assessed.

Discontinued Operations

Assets and liabilities which were expected to be sold or disposed of are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets as assets
or liabilities held for sale from discontinued operations for current and prior periods presented. When components of the Company are classified as held for sale, the results of operations of the components are presented separately as Income (Loss)
from Discontinued Operations, net, for current and prior periods. See Note 2 Discontinued Operations of these notes to the Companys consolidated financial statements for further discussion of discontinued operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company has significant goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net
assets acquired, including identified intangible assets. The Company considers a number of factors, including valuations and appraisals from independent valuation firms, in determining the amounts that are assignable to other intangible assets, such
as curriculum, accreditation, and trade names. The Company, however, is ultimately responsible for the valuations. The fair value of identified intangible assets is derived using accepted valuation methodologies, including cost, market, and income
approaches, as appropriate, following consultations with valuation firms and in accordance with the accounting guidance on Business Combinations and the requirements set forth by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The Company does not amortize goodwill, accreditation, or trade names as these assets
meet the indefinite life criteria outlined in the accounting guidance on Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Curricula continue to be amortized over their useful lives ranging generally from three to fifteen
years and Student Relationships is being amortized over its useful life of one year with all amortization expense included in educational services and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill is tested annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, by comparing the enterprise
fair value to its carrying amount at the reporting unit level as defined by the accounting guidance. The Company determined the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach that includes discounted cash flow as well as other generally
accepted valuation methodologies. To the extent the fair value of a reporting unit is less that the carrying amount of its assets, the Company records an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of operations.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, by comparing
their fair values to their carrying amounts. To the extent the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. For instance, if the Company were to
discontinue the use of a trade name or lose accreditation at one or more of our acquired schools to which had been ascribed value for trade names and accreditation, the Company would test the amounts allocated to such assets for impairment. Such
testing would include estimating the future cash flows expected to be received from the trade names and accreditation and comparing them to their carrying values. If the estimate of the present value of these future cash flows was below the carrying
values of the related assets, the Company would consider the assets to be impaired and take a charge against the amounts allocated to trade names and accreditation.

The determination of related estimated useful lives of intangible assets and whether or not these intangible assets are impaired involves
significant judgment. Although the Company believes the goodwill and intangible assets are fairly stated, changes in strategy or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to asset balances.

Income Taxes

The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance which prescribes the use of the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using
currently enacted tax laws. Additionally, the Company employs a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The Company currently has deferred income tax assets which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. Realization of the deferred income tax assets is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income offset by
deferred income tax liabilities. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred income tax assets annually. In addition, the Company reviews the income tax filing positions quarterly and updates the tax contingency reserves as necessary.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of the Companys Canadian subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the
functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at monthly average rates of exchange. The
resultant translation adjustments are included as a component of Stockholders Equity designated as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency are immediately recognized in earnings.

Comprehensive Income

For the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had comprehensive income of $149.1 million, $65.9 million and $20.8
million, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, comprehensive income consisted of net income, other post employment benefits and amortization, and foreign currency translation adjustment. The cumulative

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



translation adjustment balance for the total operations of the Company included within other comprehensive income is $1.1 million, ($1.7) million, and $1.4 million as of June 30,
2010, June 30, 2009, and June 30, 2008, respectively. The cumulative other post employment benefit balance for the total operations of the Company included within other comprehensive income is ($0.5) million, ($0.8) million, and
($1.0) million as of June 30, 2010, June 30, 2009, and June 30, 2008, respectively.

Revenue Recognition, Accounts
Receivable and Prepaid Tuition

Revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from courses taught in the
Companys colleges and schools. Revenues from tuition and fees are recognized pro-rata (on a straight-line basis) over the relevant period attended by the student of the applicable course or program. Our pro-rata revenue recognition policy for
diploma schools calculates revenue on a daily basis for some of the Companys schools and using a mid-month convention for other schools. If a student withdraws from a course or program, the paid but unearned portion of the students
tuition is refunded. Refunds are calculated and paid in accordance with applicable federal, state and institutional refund policies. Textbook sales and other revenues are recognized as sales occur or services are performed and represent less than
10% of total revenues. Prepaid tuition is the portion of payments received but not earned and is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are expected to be earned within the next year.

Students attending the Companys institutions enroll in either (i) diploma programs, which cover a specific area of
training over a discrete length of time (averaging nine months for such programs) or (ii) courses leading to an associates, bachelors or masters degree. Costs of programs or credit hours for
courses are clearly identified in the Companys enrollment agreements. At the start of each students respective program or course of study leading to a degree, the student executes an enrollment
agreement which specifies the field of study, the expected length of study, and the cost of the program or course. The Company recognizes revenue from tuition and fees on a straight-line basis over the relevant period attended by the student of the
applicable course or program of study. If a student withdraws from an institution, the Company ceases recognition of revenue and the paid but unearned portion of the students tuition is refunded. Additionally, to ensure the delivery of
education has occurred, either attendance is taken or academic events are conducted at appropriate intervals to ensure that the student is completing his or her respective field of study within the acceptable time period.

Educational Services

Educational services include the direct operating expenses of the schools consisting primarily of payroll and payroll related expenses,
rents, occupancy and supplies expenses, bad debt expense, and other educational related expenses.

Marketing and Admissions

Marketing and admissions expenses consist primarily of direct-response and other advertising expenses, payroll and payroll related
expenses, promotional materials and other related marketing costs. Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred except for brochures and media production costs. The brochures and media production costs are recorded as prepaid expenses and
charged to expense as consumed or upon the first airing of the advertisement, respectively. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $162.2 million, $150.0 million, and $156.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Insurance/Self-Insurance

The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks including claims related to employee heath care,
workers compensation, general liability, and business interruption. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated based on, among other things, historical claims experience, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. The
Companys loss exposure related to self-insurance is limited by stop loss coverage. The expected loss accruals are based on estimates, and while the Company believes the amounts accrued are adequate, the ultimate loss may differ from the
amounts provided.

The campus locations of Houston (Hobby) and Houston (Bissonett) suffered damage as a result of Hurricane
Ike in September 2008. At the time of the event, the Company had business interruption and property damage coverage for these locations. During fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company recovered approximately $3.2 million and $3.8 million in business
interruption and property damage insurance that has been recognized within educational services expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively.

Post Retirement Benefit Obligation

The Company provides certain post retirement benefits to a limited number of its previous employees and their families, which the Company
recognizes the funded status of such plans as an asset or liability, with changes in the funded status recognized through comprehensive income in the year in which they occur.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company adopted accounting guidance in accordance with the modified-prospective-transition
method and began recognizing compensation expense for stock options which vested during the year. Stock-based compensation expense of $14.0 million, $11.8 million and $10.9 million (pre-tax) were recorded for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The tax benefit related to stock-based compensation recognized in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, was $5.5, $4.6 and $1.5 million, respectively. The impact of stock-based compensation (net of tax) on fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 is
$0.10, $0.08 and $0.11 for both basic and diluted EPS, respectively.

Income Per Share

The Company computes basic net income per common share by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock
options and restricted stock units, utilizing the treasury stock method.

No one customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Companys consolidated revenues or receivables. Revenues are attributed to regions based on the location of customers.

New Accounting
Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which established
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative accounting principles in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This guidance also explicitly recognized rules and interpretive releases of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Concentration of Risk

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk exposure.

The Company extends credit for tuition to a majority of its students. A substantial portion is repaid through the students
participation in federally funded financial aid programs. Transfers of funds from the financial aid programs to the Company are made in accordance with the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requirements. Approximately 89.8%, 88.9% and
80.8% of the Companys U.S. revenues, on a cash basis, were collected from funds distributed under Title IV Programs of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA) for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The financial aid and assistance programs are subject to political and budgetary considerations. There is no assurance that such funding will be maintained at current levels. Extensive and complex regulations govern the financial
assistance programs in which the Companys students participate. The Companys administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies. Any regulatory violation could be the basis for the initiation of
potential adverse actions including a suspension, limitation, placement on reimbursement status, or termination proceeding which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

If any of the Companys institutions were to lose its eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid programs, the
students at that institution would lose access to funds derived from those programs and would have to seek alternative sources of funds to pay their tuition and fees. Students obtain access to federal student financial aid through an ED prescribed
application and eligibility certification process. Student financial aid funds are generally made available to students at prescribed intervals throughout their predetermined expected length of study. Students typically apply the funds received from
the federal financial aid programs to pay their tuition and fees. The transfer of funds is from the financial aid program to the student, who then uses those funds to pay for a portion of the cost of their education. The receipt of financial aid
funds reduces the students amounts due to the Company and has no impact on revenue recognition, as the transfer relates to the source of funding for the costs of education which may occur either through Title IV or other funds and resources
available to the student.

Note 2Discontinued Operations

Fiscal 2008

During the
fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest the WyoTech Oakland campus. The Company believes that the campus meets the criteria necessary for such an entity to qualify as assets held for sale. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2009, the Company sold the capital assets of WyoTech Oakland for $0.2 million. Additionally, during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, the Company completed the teach-out of its Lynnwood WA, Everett WA, and Atlanta GA campuses. Accordingly, the
results of operations of the campuses are reflected as discontinued operations in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations for all years presented.

The net assets held for sale are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Accordingly,
during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $2.6 million, net of income tax benefit of $1.2 million, to accrue future rental payments related to the closed campuses and to reduce the carrying value of the
net assets of the Companys campuses held for sale and closed to estimated fair value, less costs to sell, as of June 30, 2008 (primarily related to the accrued rent of $2.8 million and the impairment of fixed assets in the amount of $1.0
million). Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded an additional reserve of approximately $0.9 million and $2.2 million (net of tax) taken against receivables related to the Atlanta campus, respectively.
These charges are reflected as a component of loss from discontinued operations on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company expects to have no significant continuing involvement with
the schools.

Effective February 29, 2008 the Company completed the sale of its 12 Canadian
schools located outside the province of Ontario to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Eminata Group, for a cash payment of CAD $3.0 million. This payment consists of the purchase price of CAD $7.4 million less preliminary negative working capital and
other adjustments equal to CAD $4.4 million. This cash payment was subject to a final working capital adjustment that was finalized during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The final working capital adjustment resulted in a payment to the buyer of
$0.1 million.

The Company has paid employee retention and severance costs associated with these transactions of approximately
$2.7 million as of June 30, 2008.

The Company had no activity or balances included in discontinued operations
during fiscal 2010.

Note 4Student Notes Receivable

Historically, the Company had developed several loan programs with origination and servicing providers such as Sallie Mae for students
with low credit scores who otherwise would not qualify for loans. These loan programs required that the Company pay a discount fee to the origination and servicing providers of the loans as a reserve against future defaults on these loans. The
Company has historically referred to these types of loans as discount loans, since the Company incurred a portion of the default risk related to these student loans by taking a discount on the disbursement. By accepting a reduced payment
for these discounted loans from the servicing providers, the Company was not at risk for the amounts agreed to by them and the service providers but were not entitled to any proceeds collected by the service providers in excess of this amount.
Therefore the Company has recorded this discount as a reduction to revenue.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



In fiscal 2008, the Company was informed by Sallie Mae and two other origination and
servicing providers that they would no longer make private loans available for students who present higher credit risks (i.e. subprime borrowers). In the face of this change in policy, the Company created a new lending program in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2008 with a different origination and servicing provider, Genesis Lending Services, Inc. (Genesis), who specializes in subprime credit. This new lending program has characteristics similar to the previous discount
loan programs. As with the previous discount loan program, under this new Genesis program the Company pays a discount to the origination and servicing provider for any loans purchased by Genesis and records the discount as a reduction to
revenue. However, unlike the previous discount loan programs, under the new discount program the Company has both the right and an obligation to acquire the related loan, except in certain limited circumstances where Genesis does not comply with the
terms of the agreement. Since the Company initiated the new discount program, the Company has acquired all of the loans that have been originated. Therefore, the Company is currently exposed to any credit defaults by students but retains all amounts
collected from the students under the current program. Additionally, the new discount loan program has also replaced the Companys legacy loan program, called STAR. The estimated loans funded under the Genesis program, net of estimated refunds,
approximates $120.0 million and $120.0 million for the year-ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts are an estimate as some loans contain amounts that will be recognized during future periods. Accordingly, unrecognized loans
amounts are subject to the Companys refund policy.

Included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations, under the
caption Other (income) expense, for the years-ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is net other income (loss) of $3.9 million and ($0.6) million, associated with the Genesis notes program, respectively. The net other income primarily
reflects the interest income and loan origination fees, partially offset by costs related to servicing loans. The Company defers and recognizes both the loan origination income and direct loan origination costs as an adjustment to the yield over the
life of the related loan. All other lending-related costs, including costs related to servicing fees are charged to expense as incurred.

Student notes receivable represent loans that have maturity dates that generally range between 12 months to 60 months from the loan
origination date but can have terms as long as 15 years depending on amounts borrowed. The interest rate currently charged on all new loans is a fixed rate of 6.8% with an origination fee of 1%. Included in the consolidated balance sheet at
June 30, 2010 and 2009 is $68.2 million and $41.5 million of notes receivable, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 the estimated unrecognized Genesis note balance is $13.0 million (net of discount). This amount is subject to the
Companys refund policy.

Note 5Business Acquisitions/Dispositions

Fiscal 2010

On
January 4, 2010, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. completed its previously-announced acquisition of Heald, SP PE VII-B Heald Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (SP Holdings), and SD III-B Heald Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation
(SD Holdings; each of SP Holdings and SD Holdings individually, a Holding Company and, collectively, the Holding Companies). The transaction was completed in accordance with a Securities Purchase and Sale
Agreement, dated October 19, 2009 (the Purchase Agreement), by and among the Company, Heald, SP Holdings, SD Holdings, the individuals and entities set forth on Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement (the Sellers and, each
individually, a Seller) and Heald Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Sellers Representative. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the limited liability company membership
interests in Heald (Membership Interests) by purchasing all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the Holding Companies and by purchasing Membership Interests directly from the Sellers, for total consideration of $395 million. The
consideration paid was financed via existing cash and borrowings against the Companys line of credit in the amount of $224 million. The Company believes the acquisition is strategic given the experienced management team, strong operating
metrics, regional accreditation and diverse program offerings and through its expertise and financial commitments it will be able to continue to grow the student population and program offerings. The Company has incurred $4.0 million in acquisition
related costs which are included in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2010.

On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
Credit Facility) with aggregate borrowing capacity of $280 million, of which $260 million was a domestic facility and $20 million, was a Canadian facility. On February 22, 2010, the Company increased by $35 million the
aggregate capacity under the Credit Facility. The aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is now $315 million, of which $295 million is a domestic facility and $20 million, is a Canadian facility. The Credit Facility expires
on October 1, 2012. The Credit Facility has been established to provide available funds for acquisitions, to fund general corporate purposes, and to provide for letters of credit issuances of up to $50 million for domestic letters of
credit and $15 million for Canadian letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at several pricing alternatives available to us, including Eurodollar and adjusted reference or base rates. The domestic base rate is defined as the
higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the Bank of America prime rate, or (c) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The Canadian base rate is defined as the higher of (a) the average rate for 30 day
Canadian Dollar bankers acceptances plus 3/4 of 1%, (b) the Bank of America Canada prime rate or (c) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including
financial covenants requiring the maintenance of consolidated net worth, fixed charge coverage ratios, leverage ratios, and a U.S. Department of Education (ED) financial responsibility composite score ratio. As of June 30, 2010, the
Company was in compliance with all of the covenants. As of June 30, 2010, the credit facility had borrowings outstanding of $284.3 million and approximately $26.3 million to support standby letters of credit. A $15.8 million letter of credit
was released in July 2010. The third amended and restated credit agreement is secured by the stock of the Companys significant operating subsidiaries and it is guaranteed by the Companys present and future significant operating
subsidiaries. Average daily borrowings outstanding amounted to $57.8 million in fiscal 2010, $25.1 million in fiscal 2009 and $31.8 million in fiscal 2008.

Long-term debt also includes a term loan credit facility (the Mortgage Facility) dated March 24, 2009 between the
Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Heald Real Estate, LLC (Heald Real Estate), and Bank of America, N.A. (B of A) that is secured by real estate of Heald Real Estate and guaranteed by Heald Capital, LLC and Heald
Education, LLC (the Heald Guarantors). On January 4, 2010, Heald Real Estate, the Heald Guarantors and B of A entered into an amendment and waiver to the Mortgage Facility (the 1st Amendment and Waiver), pursuant to
which B of A waived compliance with all covenants and defaults under the Mortgage Facility except for the requirement that Heald Real Estate continue making regularly scheduled payments under the Mortgage Facility. Also on January 4, 2010,
Corinthian entered into a Continuing and Unconditional Guaranty to guarantee the obligations of Heald Real Estate under the Mortgage Facility. The parties also agreed that any defaults under Corinthians syndicated Third Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) will constitute a default under the Mortgage Facility. On March 31, 2010, Heald Real Estate, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amended Heald Credit
Agreement) with B of A as administrative agent for the lenders, and each lender from time to time party thereto. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Heald Credit Agreement, the parties amended and restated the covenants and default provisions
under the Mortgage Facility to substantially parallel those provisions in the Companys Credit Facility. All other material provisions of the Mortgage Facility remained substantially unchanged. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness
of the Amended Heald Credit Agreement, Bank of the West agreed to assume approximately $8 million, and Heald Real Estate prepaid approximately $7 million, of the loans outstanding under the Mortgage Facility. The total outstanding principal and
interest under the Amended Heald Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2010 was approximately $15.8 million. The outstanding term loans under the Amended Heald Credit Agreement bear interest, at Heald Real Estates option, either (a) at the
Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Heald Credit Agreement) or

(b) at the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Heald Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus 3.00% per annum. The minimum interest rate is 4.00% per annum.
The Amended Heald Credit Agreement matures on March 24, 2012. The Amended Heald Credit Agreement has a related fixed interest rate swap agreement with B of A that is guaranteed by the Heald Guarantors and secured by the same collateral that
secures the Amended Heald Credit Agreement. The fair value of the fixed interest rate swap is not material at June 30, 2010.

Note
7Common Stockholders Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000 shares of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no outstanding shares
of preferred stock.

Common Stock

The Companys issued and outstanding common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters.

Effective November 20, 2003, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share to a total of 120,000,000 shares.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In August 2000, the Company adopted the Corinthian Colleges, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Under
the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees, as defined by the plan to include such criteria as length of employment, are permitted to purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 90% of the fair market value on the first or last day, whichever
is lower, of each six month offering period. A total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for sale under the ESPP. At June 30, 2010, employees had purchased 664,448 shares and 1,335,552 shares were still available for
purchase under the ESPP.

Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The Company maintains the Corinthian Colleges, Inc. 1998 Performance Award Plan, as amended, (the 1998 Plan), which has been
approved by the Companys stockholders. On November 20, 2003, the Companys stockholders approved the Companys 2003 Performance Award Plan, an amendment and restatement of which approved by the Companys stockholders on
November 17, 2005 (as amended and restated, the 2003 Plan), which authorized the issuance by the Company of up to the sum of (a) 11,300,000 additional shares of the Companys Common Stock, plus (b) the number of any shares
subject to stock options granted under the 1998 Plan which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated without being exercised after the adoption of the 2003 Plan, plus (c) the number of any shares subject to stock options granted
under the 2004 Plan which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated without being exercised after the termination of the 2004 Plan. When the 2003 Plan was approved by the Companys stockholders, the Companys ability to grant
new awards under the 1998 Plan terminated, but did not affect awards then outstanding under the 1998 Plan. On November 17, 2004, the Companys Board of Directors also approved the Companys 2004 New Hire Plan (the 2004
Plan) (the 1998 Plan, the 2003 Plan and the 2004 Plan are collectively referred to as the Plans), which authorized the issuance of up to 265,000 additional shares of the Companys Common Stock, but only as an inducement
material to the award recipients entering into employment with the Company and only if the recipient was not previously an employee or director of the Company (or following a bona fide period of non-employment). When the 2003 Plan amendment
and restatement was approved in November 2005, a resolution was passed by the Board of Directors that terminated the Companys ability to grant new awards under the 2004 Plan, but did not affect awards then outstanding under the 2004 Plan.

As of June 30, 2010, the number of stock options, stock units, stock appreciation rights or other common stock-based
securities available for future grant to directors, officers, employees and other eligible persons were 1,664,992 under the 2003 Plan. Options granted under the Plans were issued at exercise prices ranging from $1.56$33.83 per share and have
expiration dates not longer than 10 years. RSUs can be settled only by delivery of the Companys Common Stock. Options and RSUs generally vest over a period of one to four years.

In December 2004, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards
using a fair value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the guidance requires additional accounting and disclosure related to the income tax and cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements, beginning as of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 in accordance with the
modified-prospective-transition method and began recognizing compensation expense for stock options which vested during the year.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on combining and weighting implied market volatilities and the Companys historical volatility. The Company uses
historical data to estimate forfeitures and years until exercise within the valuation model. The Companys estimate of forfeitures is adjusted if actual forfeitures differ from its estimates, resulting in the recognition of compensation costs
only for those awards that actually vest. If factors change and different assumptions are employed in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that the Company records may differ from what was recorded in the previous period.

The expected life of options granted represents the period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free
interest rate is derived from the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. The Companys policy is not to pay cash dividends on its common stock. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the
Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table
represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Companys closing stock price of $9.85 as of the end of fiscal 2010, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.
As of the date of exercise, the total intrinsic value of options exercised in fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $6.6 million, $15.9 million, and $2.4 million, respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $8.02, $6.52, and $5.49 per share,
respectively.

Note 8Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, consisting of stock options and restricted stock units.

The table below reflects the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted
net income per common share:

The Company has acquired various companies which had net operating loss carryovers at acquisition. As of
June 30, 2010, substantially all of the federal and state net operating loss carry forwards had been fully utilized. During fiscal 2010, the Company utilized its remaining Canadian non-capital loss carryovers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The Companys current intent is to re-invest in Canada all earnings from Everest
Canada. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided on the Canadian un-remitted earnings.

The Company has tax
deductible goodwill in the amount of $179.5 million as of June 30, 2010. During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, $233.8 million, $115.4 million and $42.1 million, respectively, of the Companys income from continuing operations was generated in
the United States.

The Company has adopted the recognition and measurement principles related to tax benefits under ASC 740.
Under the standard, the Company employs a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This standard also provides guidance on derecognition of
income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax
disclosures. The cumulative effects of applying this standard has been recorded as a decrease of $2.4 million to retained earnings, an increase of $21.1 million to the net deferred income tax asset and an increase of $23.5 million to income taxes
payable as of July 1, 2007.

The Company has classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities
unless expected to be paid in one year. The Company reports income tax-related interest expense and penalties in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statement of Operations. During fiscal 2008, as a result of the settlement of an IRS examination
and the filing of a tax accounting method change related to the depreciation on leasehold improvements, the Company reversed $3.5 million of interest on uncertain tax positions. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the total amount of accrued income
tax-related interest and penalties included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company settled and closed the IRS examination related to fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The
result was a tax payment of less than $0.1 million for 2005 and a refund of taxes for 2006 of $0.3 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company settled and closed the IRS examination related to fiscal 2004 in the amount of $0.7
million, excluding accrued interest of $0.2 million. The Company is also subject to examination in various state and foreign jurisdictions for the 2004-2009 tax years. During June 2010, the IRS contacted the Company regarding an examination of
fiscal 2008 and 2009. The Company believes it has adequately provided for the tax obligations related to these years.

As of
June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008 the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $3.4 million, $0.7 million, and $3.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would
affect the effective tax rate, if recognized is $2.7 million, $0.4 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to be settled within the next twelve months is approximately $2.0 million.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

Excluding the benefit of the reversal of interest on uncertain tax positions in fiscal 2008, the
Companys effective rate from continuing operations for fiscal 2008 would have been 35.9%.

Note 10Impairment, Facility Closing,
and Severance Charges

There were no impairment charges in fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2009, the Company incurred impairment and
severance charges of $4.4 million. Of that amount, approximately $2.5 million is related to a loss on student loan receivables associated with the Marietta and Jonesboro, Georgia campuses. These schools were branches of the Atlanta, Georgia campus
during a portion of the previous fiscal year. Due to accreditation issues, the Atlanta campus was closed during fiscal 2008 and placed in discontinued operations. In addition, the Company recorded a severance charge of $1.9 million.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company incurred impairment, facility closing
and severance charges of $6.6 million. Of that amount, approximately $4.8 million is related to a loss on student loan receivables associated with the Marietta and Jonesboro, Georgia campuses. These schools were branches of the Atlanta, Georgia
campus. Due to accreditation issues, the Atlanta campus was closed and placed in discontinued operations. In addition, the Company recorded lease termination costs of $0.9 million related to student housing and a severance charge of $0.9 million.

The components of the charges and the related balance sheet accounts for fiscal year 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in

Note 11Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company
leases most of its operating facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2027. In most cases, the facility leases require the Company to pay various operating expenses of the facilities in
addition to base monthly lease payments. In certain cases, the Company has renewable options and or leases containing ordinary rental escalations on the space. Future minimum lease payments under operating leases are as follows for the twelve months
ending June 30:

years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $86.4 million, $75.5 million and $73.5 million, respectively, and is reflected in educational services and general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

Legal Matters

In the ordinary conduct of its business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits, demands in arbitration, investigations
and other claims, including, but not limited to, lawsuits and claims involving current and former students, employment-related matters, business disputes and regulatory demands. In some of the lawsuits and arbitrations pending against the Company,
including matters not presently deemed to be material and which are not disclosed below, the plaintiffs seek certification of the matter as a class action in order to represent other similarly-situated persons. Except as disclosed

below, none of the matters currently pending against the Company in which plaintiffs seek class certification has yet been certified as a class action. When the Company is aware of a claim or
potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability for the loss. If the loss is not probable or the
amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the specific claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved is material. There can be no assurance that the ultimate
outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against the Company, including those disclosed below, will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Between July 21, 2004 and July 23, 2004, two derivative actions captioned Collet, Derivatively on behalf of Corinthian
Colleges, Inc., v. David Moore, et al., andDavila, Derivatively on behalf of Corinthian Colleges, Inc., v. David Moore, et al., were filed in the Orange County California Superior Court against David Moore, Dennis Beal, Dennis Devereux,
Beth Wilson, Mary Barry, Stan Mortensen, Bruce Deyong, Loyal Wilson, Jack Massimino, Linda Skladany, Paul St. Pierre, Michael Berry, and Anthony Digiovanni, and against the Company as a nominal defendant. Each individual defendant is one of the
Companys current or former officers and/or directors. The lawsuits allege breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and violations of the California corporations code,
essentially based on the same allegations of conduct complained of in the initial federal securities class action complaints filed at the same time. The Collet andDavila cases have now been consolidated into one action. A memorandum
of understanding was executed by the parties resolving these cases, pending court approval, for an immaterial amount of attorneys fees to be paid by the Companys directors and officers insurance carrier to the
plaintiffs lawyers, and with the Company agreeing to certain corporate governance matters. On October 29, 2009, the Court denied the parties motion for approval of the settlement, but the parties continue to explore avenues to
resolve this matter.

On October 3, 2007, the Company was notified that a qui tam action had been filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by a former employee (the relator) on behalf of himself and the federal government. The case is captioned United States of America, ex rel. Steven Fuhr v. Corinthian Colleges,
Inc. The Company subsequently learned of two other qui tamactions filed against the Company captioned United States of America, ex rel. Nyoka Lee and Talala Mshuja v. Corinthian Colleges, Inc., et al., and United States of
America, ex rel. Stephen Backhus v. Corinthian Colleges, Inc., et al., filed in the United States District Courts for the Central District of California and the Middle District of Florida, respectively. These qui tam actions allege
violations of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729-33, by the Company for allegedly causing false claims to be paid, or allegedly using false statements to get claims paid or approved by the federal government, because of alleged Company
violations of the Higher Education Act (the HEA) regarding the manner in which admissions personnel are compensated. The Lee complaint also alleges causes of action for common law fraud, unjust enrichment and payment under mistake
of fact against the Company, Ernst & Young LLP (the Companys Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm), and David Moore, Jack Massimino, Paul St. Pierre, Alice Kane, Linda Skladany, Hank Adler and Terry Hartshorn (all of whom are
current or former directors of the Company). On March 4, 2009, the Company received written notices that the U.S. Department of Justice had declined to intervene in, or take over, thesequi tam actions, and the United States District
Courts in which the cases were filed unsealed the complaints. Although the government declined to intervene in these actions, the relators may continue to pursue the litigation on behalf of the federal government and, if successful, receive a
portion of the federal governments recovery. Additionally, upon a showing of good cause, the government has the right to intervene in the actions at a later time. The Backhus complaint has since been voluntarily dismissed and, on
August 3, 2009, the U.S. District Court issued an order dismissing the Fuhr complaint with prejudice. That dismissal was appealed, but has since been voluntarily abandoned and dismissed by the relator in that case. TheLee
complaint was dismissed with prejudice by the U.S. District Court on December 4, 2009. The Leedismissal was also appealed. The Company believes these complaints are without merit and intends to defend itself and its current and former
directors vigorously in these matters.

On May 28, 2008, a putative class action demand in arbitration captionedRivera v. Sequoia Education, Inc. and Corinthian Colleges, Inc. was filed with the American Arbitration Association. The plaintiffs are nine current or former HVAC students from the Companys WyoTech Fremont campus. The arbitration demand
alleges violations of Californias Business and Professions Code Sections 17200 and 17500, fraud and intentional deceit, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and unjust enrichment/restitution, all related to alleged deficiencies
and misrepresentations regarding the HVAC program at these campuses. The plaintiffs seek to certify a class composed of all HVAC students in the Companys WyoTech Fremont and WyoTech Oakland campuses over the prior four years, and seek recovery
of compensatory and punitive damages, interest, restitution and attorneys fees and costs. The Company never operated any HVAC programs at the Companys WyoTech Oakland campus during its ownership of that campus. The Company believes the
complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations.

On September 4, 2009, the Company was served with a petition filed in Dallas County
District Court entitled Miesha Daniels, et al. v. Rhodes Colleges, Inc., Rhodes Business Group, Inc., and Corinthian Colleges, Inc. The petition names thirteen former students of three Dallas-area Everest campuses as plaintiffs and does not
seek certification as a class action. The plaintiffs allege violations of Texas Deceptive Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act, breach of contract and fraud related to alleged pre-enrollment representations regarding credit transfer,
quality of education and outcomes. The plaintiffs seek recovery of compensatory and exemplary damages and attorneys fees. The action has been ordered to arbitration where individual arbitration demands have been filed. The plaintiffs
attorneys have also informed us of nearly one hundred additional current or former students they claim to represent, and upon whose behalf they may file arbitration or litigation claims. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and
intends to vigorously defend itself.

On November 17, 2008, an action captioned Mary Credille and Roger Madden, on
behalf of all similarly situated current and former employees, v. Corinthian Colleges et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The two named plaintiffs are former employees of the Companys Chicago
campus, and allege failure to receive proper compensation for all overtime hours allegedly worked in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Plaintiff Credille has voluntarily dismissed her claims against the Company. On December 8, 2009,
the Court granted Plaintiff Maddens motion to conditionally certify a collective action to include those current and former admissions representatives at the Companys Chicago campus who also satisfy additional requirements. It is unknown
whether any, or how many, of the prospective participants, estimated to be around 50 current and former employees, will choose to opt in to participate in the lawsuit. To date, we are aware of only one additional former employee who has
elected to opt in to the lawsuit. The Company intends to challenge the conditional certification at the second stage of the certification process. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

On April 20, 2010, a putative class action complaint captioned Reed, an individual, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated v. Florida Metropolitan University, Inc. and Corinthian Colleges, Inc. was filed in the District Court of Travis County, Texas. Florida Metropolitan University, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. Plaintiff purports to be a former student in the Companys Everest University Online operations. The complaint claims violations of Texas Education Code Sections 132.051(a) and 132.059(a) for alleged failure of Everest University
Online to receive a Certificate of Approval or an exemption from the appropriate Texas state licensing bodies to offer online courses in the State of Texas and to register its admissions representatives with the State of Texas. The plaintiff
seeks to certify a class composed of all persons who contracted to receive distance education from Everest University Online while residing in Texas, and seeks damages on behalf of such persons, pre- and post-judgment interest, declaratory and
injunctive relief, cost of suit, and such other relief as the court deems proper. On July 26, 2010, the Court ordered the matter to binding arbitration. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to defend itself and
its subsidiary vigorously.

On December 17, 2009, an action captioned Mancuso, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated v. Florida Metropolitan University, Inc and Corinthian Colleges, Inc, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The named plaintiff is an admissions representative of the Companys Pompano
Beach campus, and alleges failure to receive proper compensation for all overtime hours allegedly worked in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. On June 24, 2010, the Court granted Plaintiffs motion to conditionally certify a
collective action to include those current and former admissions representatives at the Companys Pompano Beach campus who also satisfy additional requirements. The plaintiff has also filed a motion requesting the Court to broaden the
collective action from the Pompano campus to all admissions representatives at every campus nationwide. The Company is opposing this motion. It is unknown whether any, or how many, of the prospective participants will choose to opt in to
participate in the lawsuit. The Company intends to challenge the conditional certification of the Pompano Beach campus at the second stage of the certification process. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to defend
itself vigorously.

In addition to the legal proceedings and other matters described above, the Company is or may become a
party to pending or threatened lawsuits related primarily to services currently or formerly performed by the Company. Such cases and claims raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities,
including, but not limited to, class action certification, governmental intervention, regulatory or administrative agency involvement, the facts and circumstances of each particular case or claim, the jurisdiction in which each suit is brought, and
differences in applicable statutory and common law.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had established aggregate reserves
for all of the matters disclosed above, as well as for those additional matters where the liabilities are probable and losses estimable but for which the Company does not believe the matters are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Company, which are immaterial to the Companys financial position. The Company regularly evaluates the reasonableness of its accruals and makes any adjustments considered necessary. Due to the
uncertainty of the outcome of litigation and claims,

the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the upper end of the range of potential liability for these matters. Upon resolution of any pending legal matters, the Company may incur
charges in excess of presently established reserves. While any such charge could have a material adverse impact on the Companys results of operations in the period in which it is recorded or paid, management does not believe that any such
charge would have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or liquidity.

Note 12Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has established an employee savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Plan). Employees classified as regular status as defined and who are regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week (20 hours per week for instructors) are eligible to participate in the Plan beginning the first of
the month following one month of employment. Company contributions begin the first of the month following 12 months of employment and 1,000 hours worked. Contributions to the plan by the Company are discretionary. The plan provides for vesting of
Company contributions over a five-year period from the date of employment. Company contributions to the plan were approximately $7.1 million, $5.1 million and $3.6 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 13Governmental Regulation

The Company and each institution are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governmental agencies and accrediting bodies. In
particular, HEA, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by ED subject the institutions to significant regulatory scrutiny on the basis of numerous standards that schools must satisfy in order to participate in the various federal student
financial assistance programs under Title IV of the HEA.

To participate in the Title IV Programs, an institution must be
authorized to offer its programs of instruction by the relevant agencies of the state in which it is located, accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the ED and certified as eligible by the ED. The ED will certify an institution to
participate in the Title IV Programs only after the institution has demonstrated compliance with the HEA and the EDs extensive regulations regarding institutional eligibility. An institution must also demonstrate its compliance to the ED on an
ongoing basis. As of June 30, 2010, management believes the Companys institutions were in compliance with the applicable regulations in all material respects.

From time to time certain of the Companys institutions have been the subject of program reviews by ED. During the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008 and the first quarter of fiscal 2009, ED conducted site visits at the Companys campuses in Fremont, CA, Reseda, CA, Tampa, FL (including its additional locations in Orange Park and Brandon, FL and its online operations), Gardena,
CA and the online division of Everest College Phoenix. Also, in July 2010, ED conducted a site visit at the Companys campus in Colorado Springs, CO, and, in August 2010, ED announced another site visit for the online operations of the Tampa,
FL Campus. Site visits are the first step in the program review process. ED then prepares a program review report, the institution has the opportunity to respond, and ED issues a Final Program Review Determination, which may be appealed. The Company
has received Final Determination letters regarding EDs program reviews at the Reseda, CA campus, the Gardena, CA campus, the Tampa campuses and the Tampa online operations (with respect to the first site visit in the first quarter of fiscal
2009), all of which contained no material adverse findings and imposed no fines, penalties, or other liabilities. The Company has not yet received a program review report with respect to the site visit at the Fremont, CA and Colorado Springs, CO
campuses, or the announced, but not yet complete, site visit to the Tampa online operation.

In April 2010, the Company
received EDs program review report (the Report) for Everest College Phoenix, including the online division and the two ground campuses in Phoenix and Mesa, AZ. Everest College Phoenix had a total of 5,774 students in these three
operations as of June 30, 2010. The Report maintains that Everest College Phoenix has failed to make students aware of the total amounts of financial aid for which they were entitled, failed to accurately inform students of the program costs,
and delayed disbursements of Title IV funds. The Report also contains findings regarding inadequate documentation, verification and availability of records for ED review, and the failure to make certain disbursements. In the Report, ED characterizes
certain of these findings as misrepresentations by Everest College Phoenix to its students, as a breach of fiduciary duty and as evidencing an intentional evasion of the 90/10 requirements. The Company disagrees with these characterizations. The
Company is in the process of conducting a factual investigation of the findings as well as responding to EDs requests for additional information with respect to certain of the findings. Based upon the Companys investigation and responses
to date, we believe the Company has a reasonable basis to dispute certain of the findings. The Company has addressed the differences with respect to certain of the findings in an initial submission to ED, and it intends to address other findings in
a subsequent submission to ED. The Company will continue to cooperate fully with ED in its review.

ED will review the
Companys response to the Report and ultimately will issue a Final Determination letter regarding the program review, setting forth its final findings as well as the action it intends to take based on those findings. If ED were to make
significant findings of non-compliance in its Final Determination letter, it could result in the imposition of significant fines, penalties or other liabilities on Everest College Phoenix, including, without limitation, an action against Everest
College Phoenix on the limitation, suspension or termination of its participation in Title IV programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company is unable to predict
when ED will complete its review, as program reviews may often take several months or years to reach final resolution.

The
Company is continuing to cooperate with all of the outstanding program reviews. The Company does not believe that any of its currently pending program reviews with the ED are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
However, if the ED were to make significant findings of non-compliance by any of the Companys schools in any ongoing or future program review, it could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial
condition.

The HEA requires accrediting agencies to review many aspects of an institutions operations in order to
ensure that the training offered is of sufficiently high quality to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Failure to demonstrate compliance with accrediting standards may result in the imposition of probation or show cause orders, or the requirements of
periodic reports, and ultimately the loss of accreditation if deficiencies are not remediated.

An accrediting agency probation or show cause order may be issued based upon the
agencys concerns that an accredited institution may be out of compliance with one or more accrediting standards. Probation or show cause orders afford the institution the opportunity to respond before the institution loses accreditation. The
institution may demonstrate that the concern is unfounded, that it has taken corrective action to resolve the concern, or that it has implemented an ongoing plan of action which is deemed appropriate to resolve the concern. The accrediting agency
may then vacate the probation or show cause order, continue the probation or show cause order or seek additional information through reports required of the institution. If the agencys concerns are not resolved, it may act to withdraw
accreditation from the institution. Institutions on probation or under show cause orders remain accredited while they are on probation. The institutions can continue to enroll new students, and students at the affected institutions remain eligible
to receive federal student financial aid.

On May 1, 2009, the Company received notification from The Higher Learning
Commission-A Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC) that Everest College Phoenix had been placed on probation. Everest College Phoenix consists of two ground campuses and an online learning
division. On May 1, 2009, the Companys Everest College Phoenix received notification from HLC that it had been placed on probation. At June 30, 2010, the combined enrollment for Everest College Phoenix was 5,774 students, and
combined revenue was approximately 5.8% of the Companys total net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The probation action was initiated primarily related to governance issues and questions about the institutions autonomy
with respect to Corinthians ownership and control of the institution. The institution has made numerous changes to comply with HLCs accreditation criteria and is committed to continuing this process to resolve HLCs concerns. HLC
indicated that the probationary process is a period during which it will verify that these changes have, in fact, occurred and effectively meet HLCs standards. On May 17-19, 2010, Everest College Phoenix hosted an HLC evaluation team to verify
whether these changes have occurred and effectively meet HLCs standards. In its Report on a Comprehensive Evaluation Visit dated August 19, 2010, the evaluation team noted that while there have been some positive developments, deficiencies in
the institutions compliance with HLCs accreditation criteria remained unresolved. The evaluation team concluded that adverse action by HLC was warranted, and recommended withdrawal of accreditation of Everest College Phoenix. The Company
disagrees with these conclusions and intends to contest the Evaluation Teams report and recommendations before the Commission. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter with certainty. Since accreditation is required for an
institution to be eligible to participate in the federal student financial aid programs, the failure by Everest College Phoenix to satisfactorily resolve its probation with HLC could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Political and budgetary concerns significantly affect the Title IV Programs. Congress
must reauthorize the student financial assistance programs of the HEA approximately every five to six years, and the last reauthorization took place in 2008.

A significant component of Congress initiative to reduce abuse in the Title IV Programs has been the imposition of limitations on
institutions whose former students default on the repayment of their federally guaranteed or funded student loans above specific rates (cohort default rate). Although the Company is not obligated to repay any of its students or former students
defaults on payments of federally guaranteed student loans, if such default rates equal or exceed 25% for three consecutive years, the institution may lose participation eligibility in the guaranteed loan program and its students will be denied
access to the federally guaranteed student loan programs. An institution whose cohort default rate under certain Title IV Programs for any federal fiscal year exceeds 40% may have its eligibility to participate in all of the Title IV Programs
limited, suspended or terminated by the ED.

All institutions participating in the Title IV Programs must satisfy specific
standards of financial responsibility. The ED evaluates institutions for compliance with these standards each year, based on the institutions annual audited financial statements and following a change of ownership of the institution.

The ED calculates the institutions composite score for financial responsibility based on its (i) equity ratio,
which measures the institutions capital resources, ability to borrow and financial viability; (ii) primary reserve ratio, which measures the institutions ability to support current operations from expendable resources; and
(iii) net income ratio, which measures the institutions ability to operate at a profit. An institution that does not meet the EDs minimum composite score may demonstrate its financial responsibility by posting a letter of credit in
favor of the ED in an amount equal to at least 50% of the Title IV Program funds received by the institution during its prior fiscal year and possibly accepting other conditions on its participation in the Title IV Programs. At June 30, 2010,
all of the Companys U.S. institutions and the Company on a consolidated basis satisfied each of the EDs standards of financial responsibility.

For fiscal 2010, the Companys calculations reflect that all of the Companys schools exceed the requirements for financial
responsibility on an individual basis, with composite scores ranging from 1.5 to 3.0. For purposes of performing such calculations on an individual school basis, the Company makes certain allocations of corporate cash to the individual campuses.
Also, the Company, on a consolidated basis, meets the requirements with a composite score of 1.7.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



As required for regulatory reporting with ED, for fiscal 2010, approximately 81.9% of
the Companys revenues (on a cash basis) were derived from federal Title IV programs. For fiscal 2010 the Company had $1,224.3 million of Title IV cash receipts and $271.4 of Non-Title IV cash receipts, each in the United States as calculated
pursuant to ED regulations.

As of June 30, 2010, nine of the Companys colleges were on reporting to their
respective accrediting agencies, primarily with respect to the completion, retention, and/or placement rates of their students. In certain of these cases, the periodic supplemental reports are required only with respect to particular programs at an
institution, and not to the institutions overall completion or placement rates. The Company is working to improve these retention and placement rates in the identified programs at these schools.

Because the Company operates in a highly regulated industry, it, like other industry participants, may be subject from time to time to
investigations, claims of non-compliance, or lawsuits by governmental agencies or third parties, which allege statutory violations, regulatory infractions, or common law causes of action.

There can be no assurance that other regulatory agencies or third parties will not undertake investigations or make claims against the
Company, or that such claims, if made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations or financial condition.

Note 16Subsequent Events

The U.S. Department of Education surrendered and released a Heald College, LLC $15.8 million Standby Letter of Credit
effective July 6, 2010.

The Board of Directors of Corinthian approved a stock repurchase program during July 2010 under
which the Company may purchase up to $200 million of its common stock. The Board approved the stock repurchase plan because it believes the current and recent valuation of the Companys stock provides the opportunity for an attractive return on
investment. The Company has not repurchased any shares of its common stock during the last twelve months.

|ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this
report and concluded that those controls and procedures were effective.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2010. The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010
has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

As of June 30, 2010 we excluded from our assessment of our effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
the internal controls of Heald, which was acquired by us on January 4, 2010. Heald is included in the 2010 consolidated financial statements of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. As of June 30, 2010, Heald constituted $89.1 million of total assets and $23.5
million of net assets, excluding intangible assets of $351.0 million. For the year ended June 30, 2010, Heald constituted $121.0 million and $8.1 million of revenue and net income, respectively. We will include the internal controls of Heald in our
assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for fiscal 2011.

Changes in Internal Controls Over
Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
June 30, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control
systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.
