NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 AND NOVEMBER 30, 2008
(Dollar amounts, except per share, in thousands)
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The condensed financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of National American University Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiary, Dlorah, Inc. (“Dlorah”), and its divisions, National American University (“NAU”), and Fairway Hills. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company’s audited financial statements. These financial statements are condensed and do not contain all disclosures required in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements which were filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on November 30, 2009. Furthermore, the results of operations and cash flows for the six month periods ended November 30, 2008, and November 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements include consideration of subsequent events through January 12, 2010. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
    In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
    Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, fixed assets, income taxes, benefit plans, and certain accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
    The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 10, 2007 as Camden Learning Corporation (“Camden”). Camden was a special purpose acquisition company formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business. On November 23, 2009, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Dlorah, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The stockholders of Dlorah, received approximately 77% of the equity of the Company. As more fully described in Note 12, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company. The Company is now publicly traded, and is listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
 
    Dlorah is a South Dakota corporation operating NAU. NAU operates 15 campuses within the states of South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Texas, including its headquarters in Rapid City, South Dakota. A substantial portion of NAU’s academic income is dependent upon federal student financial aid programs, company tuition

-10-


Table of Contents

    assistance, distance learning programs, and contracts to provide instruction and course materials to other educational institutions. To maintain eligibility for financial aid programs, NAU must comply with Department of Education requirements, which include, among other items, the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
 
    The Company, through its Fairway Hills division, also operates luxury apartment units and develops real estate in the Rapid City, South Dakota area.
 
    Approximately 92% and 91% of the Company’s total revenues for the six months ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, respectively, were derived from NAU’s academic income. Approximately 92% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008 were derived from NAU’s academic income.
 
3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
    Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur assuming vesting, conversion or exercise of all dilutive unexercised warrants and restricted stock. As described in Note 6, the Company has two classes of common stock outstanding as of November 30, 2009 with different dividend rates. Therefore, the Company utilized the two class method to calculate and report earnings per share for each class of stock for 2009. During 2008, only one class of common stock was outstanding and there were no dilutive securities outstanding.

4.   RECENTLY ADOPTED AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (codified in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but does require expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. The Company adopted this standard as of June 1, 2008. It did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statement. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 820). This standard delayed the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard for financial assets and financial liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement. The additional

-11-


Table of Contents

    disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 11 fair value measurements.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments). This standard expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards that require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under this standard, a company may elect to use fair value to measure various assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, and issued debt. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. The Company adopted this standard as of June 1, 2008; however, has elected not to use the fair value option. As a result, there is no impact on the consolidated financial statement.
 
    In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 810). This standard requires that a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated entity be reported in equity, but separate from the parent company’s equity, in the financial statements. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. A noncontrolling interest exists in the Partnership. The Company adopted this guidance for the Company’s fiscal year that began on June 1, 2009, which required the Company to record the noncontrolling interest within equity.
 
    In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (codified in FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations). This standard significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas, including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In addition, under this standard changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted this standard, and is applying the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
 
    On December 11, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (both codified in FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing). This standard requires additional disclosures by public entities with continuing involvement in transfers of financial assets to special-purpose entities and with variable interests in VIEs, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a VIE. This standard became effective for the first interim or annual reporting period that ends after December 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement.
 
    In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (codified in FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events). This standard established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This standard is effective for financial periods ending after June 30, 2009. The Company has adopted this standard, but it

-12-


Table of Contents

    did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or required financial statement disclosures.
 
    In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 810). This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIEs. This statement nullifies FSP FAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46(R)-8 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 860). This standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning June 1, 2010. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statement.
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (both codified in FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments), which provides additional guidance related to the disclosure of impairment losses on securities and the accounting for impairment losses on debt securities. These standards do not amend existing guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. These standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009, and was effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheet or required financial statement disclosures.

    The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at November 30, 2009.
6.   STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
 
    The authorized capital stock for the Company is 51,100,000 shares, consisting of (i) 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001, (ii) 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001, and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001.
 
    Of the authorized shares, the following were issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2009: (i) 6,031,105 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (which are convertible into Common Stock at a rate of 157.3 shares of Common Stock for each share of Class A Common Stock). No shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding as of November 30, 2009.
 
    The shares of Common Stock outstanding include the 250,000 shares of restricted Common Stock issued to the former Dlorah stockholders, and the 575,000 shares of restricted Common Stock issued to Camden Learning LLC, in connection with the reverse merger. The restriction lapses when the Company’s stock trades above $8.00 for 60 consecutive days. Should the restriction not lapse by November 23, 2014, the restricted shares will be canceled.
 
    Also, in connection with the reverse merger, the former Dlorah stockholders were issued, in the aggregate, warrants to purchase up to 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.50 per share that will expire if not converted by November 23, 2011. These warrants contain a cashless exercise feature. These warrants remain outstanding and have not been exercised as of November 30, 2009.
 
    At November 30, 2009, the Company’s outstanding and issued shares consisted of (i) 6,031,105 shares of Common Stock, which includes 825,000 restricted shares (250,000 referred to above and 575,000 with the same restriction), (ii) 100,000 shares of Class A Stock, (iii) -0- shares of Preferred Stock, and (iv) 2,800,000 Warrants. Future equity transactions may include exercise of warrants or issuances of stock, which could result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders.
 
    The holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to a quarterly dividend equal to $0.11 per quarter (for a total of $0.44 per year) per share of the Common Stock into which such Class A Common Stock is convertible, paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors. If a dividend is paid on the Class A Common Stock, there will also be a dividend paid to holders

-16-


Table of Contents

    of Common Stock equal to one-fourth of the per share amount of any Class A Common Stock dividend paid. A dividend totaling $1,896 was declared on November 30, 2009, and is scheduled to be paid in January 2010.
7.   INCOME TAXES
 
    The effective tax rate for the six months ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, was 41.1% and 35.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, was 40.4% and 37.3%.
8.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    From time to time, the Company is a party to various claims, proceedings, or lawsuits relating to the conduct of its business. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims, or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, management believes, based on facts presently known, that the outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, cash flows, or future results of operations.
 
    The Company is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governmental agencies and accrediting bodies. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the results of internal compliance monitoring activities and those of applicable regulatory agencies and, when appropriate, records liabilities to provide for the estimated costs of any necessary remediation. There are no current outstanding actions, but the Company cannot predict the outcome of future program reviews and any unfavorable outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the results of unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and financial position.
9.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
    The Company is required under 34 CFR668.23(d) to disclose all related-party transactions (as defined within the regulation) regardless of materiality to the financial statements. As described in Note 5, certain notes payable are personally guaranteed by a stockholder of the Company and notes payable are due to stockholders and related parties at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009, of $0 and $1,147, respectively.
10.   CONDOMINIUM PROJECT
 
    During 2008, the Company broke ground on a new building that will house 24 condominiums to be sold to the general public (Vista Park). The Vista Park project was funded by a construction line of credit and was completed in 2009. In July 2008, the Company sold one unit within the Vista Park condominium project for approximately $250. In addition, two units were sold for $230 and $225 in December 2008 and April 2009, respectively. The Company sold one unit in September 2009 for approximately $238. Subsequent to November 30, 2009, a unit was sold for approximately $231.

11.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
    The Company adopted a new accounting standard that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that are included in each category at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009:
 
    Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted market prices.
 
    Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using observable inputs.
 
    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The type of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation. The Company does not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.
 
    In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the following table shows the fair value as of November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009, of those financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair market value.

12.   COMPLETED MERGER
 
    In August 2009, Camden entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, under which Camden agreed to purchase all of the ownership interests in Dlorah for cash and stock.
 
    In connection with the approval of the transaction, Camden’s stockholders adopted an amendment to Camden’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (i) to change Camden’s corporate name to “National American University Holdings, Inc.”, (ii) to create a new class of common stock to be designated as Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Stock”), (iii) to increase the authorized capital stock of Camden from 21,000,000 shares consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), to 51,100,000 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 100,000 shares of Class A Stock, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, and (iv) to remove the provisions related to Camden’s status as a blank check company, including, among other things, the classification of the board of directors, and to make Camden’s corporate existence perpetual. Furthermore, Camden’s stockholders adopted the 2009 Stock Option and Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which Camden reserved 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan.
 
    The acquisition closed on November 23, 2009, and on that date, Dlorah became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The stockholders of Dlorah received shares and warrants representing approximately 77% of the issued capital shares of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company. Under this accounting method, Dlorah is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes because it obtained effective control of the Company as a result of the acquisition. This determination was primarily based on the following facts: Dlorah’s retention of a significant voting interest in the Company; Dlorah’s appointment of a majority of the members of the Company’s initial board of directors; Dlorah’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the Company; and Dlorah’s senior management serving as the senior management of the Company. Under this method of accounting, the recognition and measurement provisions of the accounting guidance for business combinations do not apply and therefore, the Company did not recognize goodwill or other intangible assets. Instead, the acquisition has been treated as the equivalent of Dlorah issuing stock for the net monetary assets of the Company, primarily cash, which are stated at their carrying value. Because of the reverse merger, the historical results represent those of Dlorah.
 
    At the time of the merger, all the issued and outstanding equity interests of Dlorah were automatically converted into the right to receive the aggregate of (i) 100,000 shares of Class A Stock, automatically convertible after two years (or earlier if elected by the stockholders) into 15,730,000 shares of the Common Stock at a ratio of 157.3 shares of Common Stock for every 1 share of Class A Stock, (ii) 2,800,000 newly issued common stock purchase warrants

    (the “Warrants” at a purchase price of $5.50 per share, and (iii) 250,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock that are not freely tradable until such time as the Common Stock trades at or above $8.00 per share for any sixty consecutive trading day period, provided that such shares shall be forfeited on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance if such restriction has not been satisfied by then.
 
    Additionally, the Company has entered into an employment agreement with its Chairman of the Board of Directors through December 2011. The agreement requires, among other things, an annual incentive payment of 10% of the Company’s annual income as defined in the agreement, which is paid out annually. Effective November 23, 2009, this changed to 7% of the Company’s annual income. As of November 30, 2009, the Company has recorded a liability of $1,562, which is included in accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Furthermore, the agreement provides for a deferred compensation payment payable upon retirement or death equal to one year’s salary. The liability totals $158 at November 30, 2009, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
13.   SEGMENT REPORTING
 
    Operating segments are defined as business areas or lines of an enterprise about which financial information is available and evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision makers, or decision-making groups, in deciding how to allocate capital and other resources to such lines of business.
 
    The Company operates two operating and reportable segments: National American University (NAU) and other. These operating segments are divisions of the Company for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
 
    General administrative costs of the Company are allocated to specific divisions of the Company.
 
    The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the NAU division, which provides undergraduate and graduate education programs. NAU derives its revenue primarily from student tuition. The other division operates multiple apartment and condominium complexes and derives its revenues primarily from condominium sales and rental income (in thousands).

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company generated $23,437,000 in revenue, an increase of 50.3% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. This increase was attributable to enrollment growth, an average tuition increase of 4.4% effective September 2009, additional students served through affiliate institutions, continued geographic and programmatic expansion, and revenue from condominium sales. Income from operations was $6,299,000 or 26.9% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 190.9% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. Net income attributable to the Company was $3,704,000 or 15.8% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 184.5%, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. We believe the enrollment tailwind caused by a weaker economy, the investment in new campuses and programs, expansion of existing programs to new markets, and improved efficiencies within the Company were the driving forces for the improved operating margins.
For the six months of fiscal year 2010, the Company generated $40,701,000 in revenue, an increase of 46.9% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. This increase was attributable to enrollment growth, an average tuition increase of 4.4% effective September 2009, additional students served through affiliate institutions, continued geographic and programmatic expansion, and revenue from condominium sales. Income from operations was $8,551,000 or 21.0% for the six months of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 424.0% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. Net income attributable to the Company was $4,963,000 or 12.2% in the first six months of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 437.1%, compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009. We believe the enrollment tailwind caused by a weaker economy, the investment in new campuses and programs, expansion of existing programs to new markets, and improved efficiencies within the Company were the driving forces for the improved operating margins.

Three Months Ended November 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended November 30, 2008
     Enrollment Growth. Total system wide credit hour enrollment for the fall quarter increased 18,653 credit hours to a total of 70,759 credit hours compared to fall quarter of last year, which was 52,106. The result was a 36 percent increase in credit hours for the second quarter over the same period last year. In addition, the system-wide student headcount for the fall quarter increased by 2,179 students, or 39 percent, for a total of 7,773. During the previous fall quarter there were 5,594 students enrolled.
     Total revenue. The Company’s total revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $23,437,000, an increase of $7,844,000 or 50.3%, as compared to total revenue of $15,593,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to an enrollment increase in the company’s NAU segment over the prior year. During the Company’s second quarter fiscal year 2010, the Company’s NAU segment generated revenue of $22,967,000 and the Company’s other segment generated $470,000.
     The academic revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $21,463,000, an increase of $7,142,000 or 49.9%, as compared to academic revenue of $14,321,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the enrollment increase over the prior year. The auxiliary revenue was $1,504,000, an increase of $472,000 or 45.7%, as compared to auxiliary revenue of $1,032,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to additional students being served through partnership agreements whereby the university provides a service to other institutions and is compensated for that service. The costs associated with the auxiliary revenue were $610,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2009, an increase of $179,000 or 41.5%, as compared to auxiliary costs of $431,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to additional sales of books due to the increased enrollments.
     The rental income — apartments for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $232,000, a decrease of $8,000 or 3.3%, as compared to rental income — apartments of $240,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. The condominium sales for the three months ended November 30, 2009 were $238,000, an increase of $238,000 or 100.0%, as compared to $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. The cost of the condominium sales for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $166,000, an increase of $166,000, as compared to $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2008.
     Cost of educational services. The educational services expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 3.9% for the three months ended November 30, 2009 to 17.0%, as compared to 20.9% for the three months ended November 30, 2008. This decrease was a result of continued economies of scale being realized through enrollment growth and efficiencies gained by students taking online courses thereby leveraging the instructional efforts by gaining greater student to instructor ratios. The educational services expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2009 were $3,978,000, an increase of $726,000, or 22.3% as compared to educational expenses of $3,252,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to increases in instructional compensation and related expenses. These increases were attributable to the increased headcount (both staff and faculty) needed to provide and maintain quality educational services to the increased student population.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses. The selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 9.7% for the three months ended November 30, 2009 to 52.8%, as compared to 62.5% for the three months ended November 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of the university’s ability to leverage certain costs across an increasing revenue base. The selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2009 were $12,384,000, an increase of $2,639,000, or 27.1%, as compared to selling, general, and administrative expenses of $9,745,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. The increase was attributed to additional staff necessary to support the continued growth of the university, increased admissions staff, and larger marketing costs to maintain an acceptable lead flow for the admissions staff.
     In addition, the university tracks the expenditures associated with new campus, new program development, and program expansion within the selling, general, and administrative expense. For the three months ended November 30, 2009, the total expenditures were $1,383,426 as compared to $727,404 for the same period in the prior year. Included in this total was $542,896 for continued development of the Austin, Texas campus compared to $392,409 for the same period in the prior year, $320,529 for expansion and development of the hybrid learning centers in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado as compared to $18,000 for the same period in the prior year, and $502,067 for the continued expansion for the nursing programs in Denver, Colorado, and Bloomington, Minnesota as compared to $308,974 for the same period in the prior year.
     Auxiliary. Auxiliary expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2009 were $610,000, for an increase of $179,000, or 41.5%, as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2008. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in cost of books resulting from higher book sales.
     Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $158,000, a decrease of $47,000, or 22.9%, as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2008. This decrease was consistent with the Company’s cash management plans to maintain lines of credit at $0 through effective use of current operating resources.
     Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $33,000, a decrease of $20,000, or 37.7%, as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2008. This decrease is reflective of the Company’s plan to focus on managing investment risk given the current economic environment. In addition, the ability of the university to maximize interest income has been reduced by the unavailability of higher yielding investment instruments.
     Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended November 30, 2009 was $2,501,000, an increase of $1,743,000 from a tax expense of $758,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to the increase in income taxes attributed to the factors discussed above.

for the six months ended November 30, 2008. The cost of the condominium sales for the six months ended November 30, 2009 was $166,000, a decrease of $10,000, as compared to $176,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008.
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses. The selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue increased by 53.7% for the six months ended November 30, 2009 to 187.2%, as compared to 133.5% for the six months ended November 30, 2008. The selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended November 30, 2009 were $1,350,000, an increase of $430,000, or 46.7%, as compared to selling, general, and administrative expenses of $920,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008.
     Interest expense. Interest expense for the six months ended November 30, 2009 was $259,000, an increase of $43,000, or 19.9%, as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2008.
     Income before non-controlling interest and taxes. The loss before non-controlling interest and taxes for the six months ended November 30, 2009 was $1,006,000, an increase of $541,000, as compared to a loss of $465,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Liquidity. At November 30, 2009, and May 31, 2009, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $29,710,000 and $7,925,000, respectively. Consistent with the Company’s cash management plan, a portion of the excess cash was invested in U.S. securities directly or through money market funds, as well as in bank deposits and laddered certificate of deposits. Of the amounts listed above the marketable securities for November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009 were $3,073,000 and $4,417,000, respectively and were restricted. The restriction requires the investment account to not be utilized until the $551,000 note payable with Wells Fargo Bank matures. This restriction has not affected the Company’s ability to manage daily operations.
     The Company maintains two lines of credit to support ongoing operations. These lines of credit are available to support timing differences between inflows and outflows of cash. During the second quarter of 2009, the lines of credit were not utilized.
     The Company retains a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit with Great Western Bank. Advances under the line bear interest at a variable rate and are secured by substantially all assets of the university and the personal guarantee of Robert Buckingham, the Company’s chairman of the board of directors. Advances made on this credit line at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009 were $0 and $0 respectively.
     The Company also retains a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo. Advances under the line bear interest at a variable rate and are secured by the Company’s checking, savings and investment accounts held by the bank. Advances of $0 and $0 were made against this line at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009, respectively.

     During 2008, the Company’s Fairway Hills real estate division started on the construction of new condominium building in Rapid City, South Dakota. The project was being funded by a construction line of credit totaling $3,816,000. Borrowings at November 30, 2009 and May 31, 2009 totaled $3,135,000 and $3,305,000, respectively. The note is secured by the Company’s owned real estate and the personal guarantee of Robert Buckingham, the Company’s chairman of the board of directors, and bears interest at a variable rate.
     Based on the Company’s current operations and anticipated growth, the cash flows from operations and other sources of liquidity, are anticipated to provide adequate funds for ongoing operations and planned capital expenditures for the near future. These expenditures include the university’s plans for expansion and development in new programming, new campuses, and program expansion across the system. The Company is anticipating spending over $5,000,000 in this area for fiscal year 2010 as compared to $3,000,00 last year. Also, the Company is positioned to further supplement its liquidity position with debt, if needed.
     Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended November 30, 2009 was $5,652,000 and net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended November 30, 2008 was $1,606,000. This improvement has been driven primarily by the increase in net income.
     Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $53,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2009 as compared to the net cash used in investing activities of $2,293,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2008. Cash used in investing activities was related to the purchase of investments. In the second quarter of 2008 $1,848,000 was used to purchase investments while for the six months ended November 2009 there was proceeds from the sale of investments that were not reinvested. The Company’s investment committee is focused on capital preservation and due to the current depressed economic returns decided to not reinvest at this time and retain these funds as cash equivalents.
     Financing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $17,424,000 and ($1,224,000) for the six months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The activities in this category consisted of the use and repayments of lines of credit and long-term debt as well as cash received from the reverse merger. The Company uses lines of credit to bridge the timing difference between cash inflows and cash outflows during the course of the year. As mentioned earlier, aside from the cash provided from the reverse merger, the primary reason for the fluctuation in financing activities from 2008 to 2009 was the construction of the condominium unit in 2008 financed by the line of credit that was not utilized in 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     Other than operating leases, the company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is a party to various claims, proceedings, or lawsuits relating to the conduct of its business. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims, or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, management believes, based on facts presently known, that the outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, cash flows, or future results of operations.
The Company is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governmental agencies and accrediting bodies. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the results of internal compliance monitoring activities and those of applicable regulatory agencies and, when appropriate, records liabilities to provide for the estimated costs of any necessary remediation. There are no current outstanding actions, but the Company cannot predict the outcome of future program reviews and any unfavorable outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the results of unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and financial position.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The condensed financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its ssubsidiary, Dlorah, and its divisions, NAU and Fairway Hills. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company’s audited financial statements. The financial statements are condensed and do not contain all disclosures required in annual financial statements. Accordingly, financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements which were filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on November 30, 2009. Furthermore, the results of operations and cash flows for the six month periods ended November 30, 2008, and November 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, fixed assets, income taxes, benefit plans, and certain accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECENTLY ADOPTED AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (codified in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but does require expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. The Company adopted this standard as of June 1, 2008. It did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statement. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 820). This standard delayed the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and

-37-


Table of Contents

nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard for financial assets and financial liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement. The additional disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 11 fair value measurements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments). This standard expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards that require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under this standard, a company may elect to use fair value to measure various assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, and issued debt. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. The Company adopted this standard as of June 1, 2008; however, has elected not to use the fair value option. As a result, there is no impact on the consolidated financial statement.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 810). This standard requires that a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated entity be reported in equity, but separate from the parent company’s equity, in the financial statements. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. A noncontrolling interest exists in the Partnership. The Company adopted this guidance for our year that began on June 1, 2009, which required the Company to record the noncontrolling interest within equity.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (codified in FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations). This standard significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas, including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In addition, under this standard changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted this standard, and is applying the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
On December 11, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (both codified in FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing). This standard requires additional disclosures by public entities with continuing involvement in transfers of financial assets to special-purpose entities and with variable interests in VIEs, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a VIE. This standard became effective for the first interim or annual reporting period that ends after December 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (codified in FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events). This standard established general standards of

-38-


Table of Contents

accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This standard is effective for financial periods ending after June 30, 2009. The Company has adopted this standard, but it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or required financial statement disclosures.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 810). This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIEs. This statement nullifies FSP FAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46(R)-8 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 860). This standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning June 1, 2010. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statement.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (both codified in FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments), which provides additional guidance related to the disclosure of impairment losses on securities and the accounting for impairment losses on debt securities. These standards do not amend existing guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. These standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009, and was effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheet or required financial statement disclosures.
Impact of Inflation
     The Company believes inflation has had a minimal impact on results of operations for the six months and the three months ended November 30, 2009 or 2008. Consistent with the Company’s operating plan, a yearly salary increase in December (supported by evaluations and recommendations from supervisors) is considered to help alleviate the inflationary effects on staff. The Company also takes into account tuition increases to help offset the inflationary impacts while at the same time managing the impact of these increases on students. There can be no assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on operating results and financial conditions.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
     Since we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to furnish this information.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
     (a). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange

-39-


Table of Contents

Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     (b). During the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2009, the following changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
     The Company was previously a shell company formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business. On November 23, 2009, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Company acquired Dlorah, which operates NAU. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, a newly-formed board of directors was appointed, composed of five members (one of which was an existing member of the Company’s board of directors). The company’s management team, accounting functions, board committees and charters, corporate governing policies, and auditors were all replaced. Necessary changes were also made to the Company’s business and financial reporting processes, including management of cash and investments, debt and interest, equity, taxes, financial statement close and external reporting. The Company has also engaged independent consultants and firms that are assisting the management in their assessment and documentation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
     From time to time, the Company and its subsidiary may be a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not at this time, a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     Since we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to furnish this information.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Item 4. Submission of Matter to a Vote of Security Holders.
     On November 23, 2009, the Company held the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to consider and vote upon the merger of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Dlorah Subsidiary, Inc., with and into Dlorah, Inc., with Dlorah, Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company’s stockholders voted to approve the merger.

     On November 23, 2009, the Company also held the special meeting of the Company’s warrantholders, at which the warrantholders voted upon and approved the proposal to amend the warrant agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, which governed the terms of the Company’s then publicly traded warrants.
