2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

On November 3, 2011, the University determined that there was an error in the methodology it used to estimate its allowance for doubtful accounts and that its financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 needed to be restated.

In recent periods, the University experienced a significant change in the composition of its receivable balances since its transition to the borrower-based financial aid model in the second quarter of 2010 in which the receivables due from former students had grown as a percentage of the total amount outstanding. However, the University’s historical process for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts did not consider the disaggregation of receivable balances by student based on enrollment status. As a result, the growth in the inactive student receivables was not evident when making the allowance estimate in prior periods. As the University’s collection experience indicates that receivables from former students carry a higher risk, this disaggregated information should have been considered in determining the probability of loss within the University’s receivables. If such information had been evaluated, management would have increased the allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the increased risk profile of the receivables in prior periods. Accordingly, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, together with management, determined that, because management should have taken the additional steps necessary to develop the disaggregated information for use in the analysis of reserve requirements and resulting allowance for doubtful accounts, the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and for the quarters ended June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010, March 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011 should be restated to correct the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The following tables summarize the unaudited quarterly results of operations as originally reported and as restated for three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
