(Dollar amounts, except share and per share data, in thousands)

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited 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 , 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 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on August 18, 2010. Furthermore, the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended August 31, 2010, and August 31, 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 issuance. 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”).

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, formerly known as Camden Learning Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 10, 2007. The Company was a special purpose acquisition company formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business. On November 23, 2009, Dlorah became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Transaction”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between the Company and Dlorah. In connection with the Transaction, the stockholders of Dlorah received approximately 77% of the equity of the Company, and Dlorah was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The Transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger accompanied by a recapitalization. As a result of the Transaction, the historical results of Dlorah became the historical results of the Company. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2009 have been updated to reflect the effects of the recapitalization on common stock, stockholders’ equity accounts and earnings per share.

The Company’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company owns and operates National American University (“NAU” or the “University”). NAU is a regionally accredited, for-profit, multi-campus institution of higher learning, offering Associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs in business-related disciplines, such as accounting, applied management, business administration and information technology, and in healthcare-related disciplines, such as nursing and healthcare management. Courses are offered through educational sites, as well as online via the Internet.

Operations include educational sites located in Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, South Dakota and Texas, and distance learning operations and central administration offices located in Rapid City, South Dakota. A substantial portion of NAU’s academic income is dependent upon federal student financial aid programs, employer tuition assistance, online 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 real estate division, also manages apartment units and develops and sells multi-family residential real estate in the Rapid City, South Dakota area.

Approximately 92% of the Company’s total revenues for each of the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 were derived from NAU’s academic revenue.

3.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain items have been reclassified within operating expenses in the three months ended August 31, 2009 statement of operations in order to conform with the current presentation. Specifically, rent expense (which included rent, common area maintenance fees, and property taxes) was reclassified from selling, general and administrative to cost of education. The reclassification totaled $1,185 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. There was no impact to operating income or net income as previously reported.

4.

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 had one class of common stock outstanding as of August 31, 2010. All issued and outstanding shares of the class A common stock were converted to common stock on May 27, 2010.

Outstanding options of 110,000 were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share for the three months ended August 3,1 2010 because their effect would be antidilutive.

RECENTLY ADOPTED AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard to update FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. 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 the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This standard was adopted by the Company on June 1, 2010 and had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This guidance provides for the following new required disclosures related to fair value measurements: 1) the amounts of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of level one and level two inputs and 2) separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis rather than as one net number for level three reconciliations. The guidance also clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and 2) provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring level two or level three inputs. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures were effective for the Company’s fourth quarter ended May 31, 2010. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity for level three fair value measurements will be effective for the Company’s fourth quarter ended May 31, 2011. The Company has adopted this standard, but it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The authorized capital stock for the Company is 51,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001. Authorized class A common stock of 100,000 shares, par value $0.0001, were converted to common stock during the year ended May 31, 2010 at a rate of 157.3 shares of common stock for each share of class A common stock.

Of the authorized shares, 26,369,653 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2010. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

The common stock outstanding includes 15,730,000 shares of common stock converted from class A common stock. During the year ended May 31, 2010, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the offer and sale of up to 7,000,000 shares of its common stock (half coming from selling stockholders), plus 1,050,000 shares to cover over-allotment. The sale of 7,000,000 shares closed on June 1, 2010, and the sale of the 1,050,000 over-allotment shares closed on June 5, 2010. Also, in connection with the Transaction, 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 remained outstanding and have not been exercised as of August 31, 2010.

Stock-Based Compensation

The following tables summarize activity under our 2009 Stock Option and Compensation Plan, which allows for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units.

						Weighted
						Average
						Grant Date
Restricted Shares Outstanding		Shares				Fair Value
Balance, May 31, 2010			110,333			$	8.64
Granted RSU’s			53,000				5.52
Vested			—				—
Forfeited			—				—
Restricted Stock and RSU
Outstanding, August 31, 2010			163,333			$	7.63

The Company granted restricted stock awards in November 2009, December 2009, March 2010, and April 2010 to promote the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders by using such awards as a means for attracting and retaining directors and key employees. The fair value of restricted stock awards were calculated using the Company’s stock price as of the associated grant date and accrued ratably as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. The amounts recognized in compensation expense were $195 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. As of August 31, 2010 there was $660 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the restricted stock awards discussed above that will be recognized over a period extending to May 31, 2012.

During the quarter ended August 31, 2010, the company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest May 31, 2011 based on the performance metric of an earnings before interest and taxes margin of 18% for the Company. The amounts recognized in compensation expense was $5 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. As of August 31, 2010 there was $288 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the restricted stock units discussed above that will be recognized over a period extending to May 31, 2011.

Stock Options

During the quarter ended August 31, 2010, the Company granted stock options that vest in incremental installments of one-half per year commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant with a 10 year life. The fair value of the stock options used to compute stock-based compensation is the estimated present value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair values of options granted during the first quarter of 2011 were $3.52 per share using the following weighted average assumptions for grants:

		August 31, 2010
Expected volatility			45.59	%
Expected dividend yield			1.20	%
Expected life (term)		5.75 years

Dividends

The holders of class A common stock were 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 was convertible, paid when and if declared by the board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement for the Transaction. If a dividend is paid on the class A common stock, a dividend equal to one-fourth of the per share amount of any class A common stock dividend paid also had to be paid to holders of common stock. A dividend totaling $1,896 was declared on November 30, 2009, and $1,868 was paid in January and February 2010. A dividend totaling $1,896 was declared on January 27, 2010 and $1,868 was paid in March 2010. On May 10, 2010, the Company announced that on April 26, 2010, its board of directors declared, subject to the satisfaction of the condition set forth below, a one-time special cash dividend in the amount of $0.1609694 per share on each share of the Company’s common stock and in the amount of $0.6438774 per share on each share of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the class A common stock. This special dividend totaled $11,116 of which $11,089 was paid on June 4, 2010 with the difference related to restricted shares which will be payable once the restrictions lapse. Therefore, all the dividends in accordance with the merger agreement for the Transaction have been declared and paid. In August 2010, the Company declared a divided totaling $0.0275 per share to be paid on October 8, 2010.

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 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 regulatory 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 the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

During the quarter ended August 31, 2010, the Company received a request for information from the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions relating to the Committee’s ongoing hearings relating to for-profit colleges receiving Title IV student financial aid. The Company has incurred $0.6 million in additional legal fees for this request and expects to incur another $1.5 million in expenses relating to this request.

9.

CONDOMINIUM PROJECT

During 2008, the Company broke ground on a new building designed to contain 24 condominium units to be sold to the general public. The project was funded by a construction line of credit and was completed in 2009. These condominium units are accounted for within condominium inventories within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the sales of the condominium units are recorded within condominium sales within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Eight units (one of which was sold during the quarter ended August 31, 2010) have been sold as of August 31, 2010.

In addition, five units of an existing 48-unit apartment building have been sold as condominiums, with the remaining units available for sale or lease. These condominium units are accounted for within net property and equipment within the consolidated balance sheets, and the sales of the condominium units are recorded within other income – net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 August 31, 2010 and 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 August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010, 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. No other financial assets or liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at August 31, 2010 or May 31, 2010.

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: NAU and other. The NAU segment contains the revenues and expenses associated with the University operations and the allocated portion of corporate overhead. The other segment contains everything else. 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.

Item 2.		Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Certain of the statements included in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“Reform Act”). These statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. In accordance with the Safe Harbor provisions of the Reform Act, the Company has identified important factors that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements. The assumptions, uncertainties and risks include the pace of growth of student enrollment, our continued compliance with Title IV of the Higher Education Act, and the regulations thereunder, as well as regional accreditation standards and state regulatory requirements, competitive factors, risks associated with the opening of new campuses and hybrid learning centers, risks associated with the offering of new educational programs and adapting to other changes, risks associated with the acquisition of existing educational institutions, risks relating to the timing of regulatory approvals, our ability to continue to implement our growth strategy, risks associated with the ability of our students to finance their education in a timely manner, and general economic and market conditions. Further information about these and other relevant risks and uncertainties may be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 18, 2010 and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward looking statement, except as may be required by law.

Background

National American University, or NAU, is a regionally accredited, for-profit, multi-campus institution of higher learning offering Associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs in business-related disciplines, such as accounting, applied management, business administration and information technology, and in healthcare-related disciplines, such as nursing and healthcare management. Courses are offered through educational sites as well as online via the Internet. Operations include 25 educational sites (three of which are pending regulatory approvals) located in Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas, and distance learning operations and central administration offices located in Rapid City, South Dakota.

As of August 31, 2010, NAU had enrolled 3,283 students at its physical locations, 3,584 students for its online programs, and 1,388 students at its hybrid learning centers who attended physical campus locations and also took classes online. NAU also provided instruction through affiliated institutions to approximately 4,000 additional students online.

The real estate operations consist of apartment facilities, condominiums and other real estate holdings in Rapid City, South Dakota. The real estate operations generated approximately 2% of our revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 2010.

Key Financial Results Metrics

Revenue. Revenue is derived mostly from NAU’s operations. For fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, approximately 92% of our revenue was generated from NAU’s academic revenue, which consists of tuition and fees assessed at the start of each term. The remainder of our revenue comes from NAU’s auxiliary revenue from sources such as NAU’s food services, bookstore, dormitory and motel operations and the real estate operations rental income and condominium sales. Tuition revenue is reported net of adjustments for refunds and scholarships and is recognized on a daily basis over the length of the term. Upon withdrawal, students generally are refunded tuition based on the uncompleted portion of the term. Auxiliary revenue is recognized when earned.

Factors affecting net revenue include:

•

the number of students who are enrolled and who remain enrolled in courses throughout the term;

•

the number of credit hours per student;

•

the student’s degree and program mix;

•

changes in tuition rates;

•

the affiliates with which NAU is working as well as the number of students at the affiliates; and

•

the amount of scholarships for which students qualify.

We record unearned tuition for academic services to be provided in future periods. Similarly, we record a tuition receivable for the portion of the tuition that has not been paid. Tuition receivable at the end of any calendar quarter largely represents student tuition due for the prior academic quarter. Based upon past experience and judgment, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to recognize those receivables we anticipated will not be paid. Any uncollected account more than six months past due on students who have left NAU is charged against the allowance. Bad debt expenses as a percentage of revenues for the quarters ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 were 2.9% and 2.9%, respectively.

We define enrollments for a particular reporting period as the number of students registered in a course on the last day of the reporting period. Enrollments are a function of the number of continuing students registered and the number of new enrollments registered during the specified period. Enrollment numbers are offset by inactive students, graduations and withdrawals occurring during the period. Inactive students for a particular period are students who are not registered in a class and, therefore, are not generating net revenue for that period.

We believe the principal factors affecting NAU’s enrollments and net revenue are the number and breadth of the programs being offered; the effectiveness of our marketing, recruiting and retention efforts; the quality of our academic programs and student services; the convenience and flexibility of our online delivery platform; the availability and amount of federal and other funding sources for student financial assistance; and general economic conditions.

The following chart is a summary of our student enrollment on August 31, 2010, and August 31, 2009, by degree type and by instructional delivery method.

		August 31, 2010				August 31, 2009				% Growth for
		(Summer ’10 Qtr)				(Summer ’09 Qtr)				same quarter
		Number of Students				Number of Students				over prior year
Graduate			342				226				51.3	%
Undergraduate and Diploma			7,913				5,833				35.7	%
Total			8,255				6,059				36.2	%
On-Campus			3,283				2,738				19.9	%
Online			3,584				2,340				53.2	%
Hybrid			1,388				981				41.5	%
Total			8,255				6,059				36.2	%

We experienced a 36% growth in enrollment in summer term 2010 over summer term 2009. This growth was a significant increase over our historic enrollment growth, which has averaged approximately 9.4% annually since 1998. We believe this recent growth is attributable to four main factors: investment in the expansion and development of physical locations; investment in the expansion of current academic programs and development of new academic programs; the development of a disciplined student recruitment process; and the current economic downturn, in which many working adults have decided to utilize education to obtain a job, advance in a job or retain their current job. We also believe we have realized a significant increase in enrollments since 2005 due to our investment of approximately $20 million to expand and develop physical locations and academic programming. In addition, we believe that our strategic plan was critical in obtaining the growth and results of operations that we have seen over the last year.

We plan to continue expanding and developing our academic programming, opening additional physical locations and, potentially, making acquisitions. This growth will be subject to applicable regulatory requirements and market conditions. With these efforts, we anticipate our positive enrollment trends will continue. To the extent the economic downturn has caused enrollment growth, our ability to maintain or increase that portion of our growth will depend on how economic factors are perceived by our target student market in relation to the advantages of pursuing higher education. If current market conditions continue, we believe that the extent to which these enrollment trends will continue will be correlated with the opening of additional physical locations, the number of programs that are developed, the number of programs that are expanded to other locations, and, potentially, the number of locations and programs added through acquisitions. If market conditions decline or if we are unable to open new physical locations, develop or expand academic programming or make acquisitions, whether as a result of regulatory limitations or other factors, our growth rate will likely return to more historic levels.

Expenses. Expenses consist of cost of educational services, selling, general and administrative, auxiliary expenses, the cost of condominium sales, and the loss on disposition of property and equipment. Cost of educational services expenses contain expenditures attributable to the educational activity of NAU. This expense category includes salaries and benefits of faculty and academic administrators, costs of educational supplies, faculty reference and support material and related academic costs, and facility costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the salaries of the learner services positions (and other expenses related to support of students), salaries and benefits of admissions staff, marketing expenditures, salaries of other support and leadership services (including finance, human resources, compliance and other corporate functions), legal expenses, expenses related to expansion and development of academic programs and physical locations, as well as depreciation, bad debt expenses and other related costs associated with student support functions. Auxiliary expenses include expenses for the cost of goods sold, including costs associated with books, clothing, food and textbook shrinkage. The cost of condominium sales is the expense related to condominiums that are sold during the reporting period. The loss on disposition of property and equipment expense records the remaining book value of assets that are no longer used by us.

Factors affecting comparability

Set forth below are selected factors we believe have had, or which we expect to have, a significant effect on the comparability of our recent or future results of operations:

Introduction of new programs and specializations. We plan to develop additional degree and diploma programs and specializations over the next several years. When introducing new programs and specializations, we invest in curriculum development, support infrastructure and marketing research. Revenues associated with these new programs are dependent upon enrollments, which are lower during the periods of introduction. During this period of introduction and development, the rate of growth in revenues and operating income has been, and may be, adversely affected, in part, due to these factors. Historically, as the new programs and specializations develop, increases in enrollment are realized, cost-effective delivery of instructional and support services are achieved, economies of scale are recognized and more efficient marketing and promotional processes are gained.

Introduction of new physical locations. We plan to develop additional physical locations over the next several years. When opening new locations, we invest significant funds in expenses related to opening new locations without the immediate impact of revenue to offset these expenses. Included in the expenses are capital funds for equipment and buildouts as well as operating funds for staff salaries and marketing dollars. These expenses will negatively impact the operating margin in the short-term with long-term gains due to the increased revenues.

Public company expenses. As a public company, we have begun and will continue to incur significant additional costs and expenses such as increased legal and audit fees, professional fees, director and officer insurance costs, board of director fees and expenses related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regulations and preparing and distributing periodic reports in compliance with obligations under the federal securities laws. In addition, we will likely have to hire additional personnel and expand our administrative functions to become compliant, and maintain compliance, with the regulatory obligations of being a public company. We estimate that the additional costs of being a public company will be between $1.0 million and $2.0 million annually, which we expect to fund through cash provided by operating activities.

Stock-based compensation. We expect to incur increased non-cash, stock based compensation expense in connection with existing and future issuances under our 2009 Stock Option and Compensation Plan or other equity incentive plans.

Seasonality. Our operations are generally subject to seasonal trends. While we enroll students throughout the year, summer and winter quarter new enrollments and revenue are generally lower than enrollments and revenue in other quarters due to the traditional custom of summer breaks and the holiday break in December and January. In addition, we generally experience an increase in enrollments in the fall of each year when most students seek to begin their post-secondary education.

Department of Education Rulemaking

In a press release dated September 24, 2010, the U.S. Department of Education (the “Department”) announced a modified schedule for its publication of final regulations to determine whether educational programs comply with the Title IV requirement of preparing students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. According to the press release, the Department intends to publish, on or around November 1, 2010, final regulations concerning the Title IV program integrity matters set forth in its June 18, 2010 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the “June NPRM”), including regulations concerning disclosures of graduation and job placement rates and data to be used by the Department in determining student debt levels and incomes after program completion; and also final regulations concerning those provisions of its July 26, 2010 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the “July NPRM”) that, if adopted as proposed, would require an institution to provide five-year enrollment projections, documentation from employers not affiliated with the institution that the program’s curriculum aligns with recognized occupations at those employers’ businesses, and that there are projected job vacancies or expected demand for those occupations at those businesses, before new educational programs to be offered by the institution can become eligible to participate in the Title IV programs of federal student financial aid. Such regulations published on or around November 1, 2010 will be effective July 1, 2011. The Department’s press release further states that it plans to publish final regulations in early 2011 on the remaining portions of its “gainful employment” proposals from the July NPRM, including the proposed debt-to-income and loan repayment rate measures, and that such remaining provisions will be effective on or around July 1, 2012.

For the three months ended August 31, 2010, our total revenue was $23.2 million, an increase of $5.9 million or 34.2%, as compared to total revenue of $17.3 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the execution of our strategic growth plan which resulted in an enrollment increase of 36.2% during the summer quarter 2010 over the summer quarter 2009. Our revenue from the three months ended August 31, 2010 consisted of $22.7 million from our NAU operations and $0.5 million from our other operations. Total operating expenses were $21.1 million or 90.8% of total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010, which is an increase of $6.1 million compared to the same period in 2009. Income from operations was $2.1 million or 9.2% of total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010, which is a decrease of $0.2 million compared to the

same period in 2009. Net income attributable to the Company was $1.3 million or 6.0% of total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010, an increase of 6.4%, compared to the same period in 2009. The enrollment increases were driven by management’s execution of our strategic plan which detailed our investment in new educational sites and programs, expansion of existing programs to new markets, a weaker economy and an improved enrollment management system of monitoring and improving our recruitment processes. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased almost $5.0 million as a result of increased spending in development of $1.6 million and increased legal fees of $1.8 million. The increase in development is a result of continuing the expansion of the Austin, Texas campus and opening hybrid learning centers in Colorado, Denver, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, and Texas as well as expanding the nursing program into Kansas, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Of the $1.8 million in additional legal fees, the Company incurred fees related to a trademark infringement and employment issues in the amount of $1.0 million (these cases have been resolved and/or settled) and the Company does not anticipate any future expenses related to these issues. In addition, in connection with preparing responses to the request for information from the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions relating to the Committee’s ongoing hearings relating to for-profit colleges receiving Title IV student financial aid, the Company incurred $0.6 million in additional legal fees. We could incur significant increases in expenses related to responding to the Senate inquiry in future quarters and the Company is anticipating these costs to be approximately$1.5 million in the second quarter ending November 30, 2010. The additional details regarding these variances quarter over quarter are described in greater detail below.

Total revenue. The total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $22.7 million, an increase of $5.7 million or 33.5%, as compared to total revenue of $17.0 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was driven by our 36.2% enrollment increase during the summer quarter 2010 over the summer quarter 2009, which we believe resulted from our investment in program development and expansion, new and expanded affiliate relationships, and new hybrid learning centers.

The academic revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $21.3 million, an increase of $5.4 million or 33.9%, as compared to academic revenue of $15.9 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the enrollment increase over the prior year driven by our key strategic plan and management’s execution of the plan. The auxiliary revenue was $1.4 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 26.9%, as compared to auxiliary revenue of $1.1 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily due to increased book sales and instructional material fees resulting from increased enrollment.

Cost of educational services. The educational services expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 3.9 percentage points for the three months ended August 31, 2010, to 23.1%, as compared to 27.0% for the same period in 2009. This decrease was a result of our strategic initiative whereby students are counseled regarding online courses and an ever increasing amount are enrolling in the online format. The student gains greater flexibility in completing courses in a format that enables them to be taught during their availability and the institution gains greater student to instructor ratios which leads to decreased expenses. The educational services expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 were $5.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 14.1% as compared to educational expenses of $4.6 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily due to increases in instructional compensation and related expenses resulting from our increasing faculty and staff to provide and sustain quality educational services to the increased student population.

Included in this category is the reclassification of facilities expenses to align with others in our industry. These expenses were moved from the selling, general, and administrative expense category. The following chart details the breakout of these expenses quarterly for the previous year:

The selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased by 7.8 percentage points for the three months ended August 31, 2010, to 64.1%, as compared to 56.3% for the same period in 2009. The selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 were $14.5 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 51.8%, as compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $9.6 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributed to additional support staff necessary to support the continued growth of the university resulting in additional expense of approximately $1.0 million, increased admission staff to support our growth plan resulting in additional expense of approximately $0.5 million, increased expenses related to business expansion and development for new programming and new campuses (consistent with our strategic plan) of approximately $1.6 million, increased legal fees for an employment claim and a trademark infringement claim of approximately $0.9 million and increased corporate overhead due to us becoming a public company of approximately $0.8 million which is primarily attributable to additional legal fees (included in this figure is the accrual for the Senate request).

The gross expenditures associated with the development and expansion of new educational sites and new programs referred to above as business expansion and development expense increased $1.6 million. Consistent with our strategic plan, for the three months ended August 31, 2010, the total business expansion and development expenditures were $2.5 million as compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2009. Included in this total was $0.7 million for continued expansion of the Austin, Texas site as compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2009, $0.4 million for the expansion of the hybrid learning centers in Lee’s Summit, Missouri as compared to $0 for the same period in 2009; $0.4 million for the expansion of the hybrid learning center in Minnetonka, Minnesota as compared to $0 for the same period in 2009; $0.5 million for the expansion of the hybrid learning centers in Denver, Colorado; Allen, Texas; Wichita, Kansas; and Colorado Springs, Colorado as compared to $0 for the same period in 2009, and $0.4 million for the expansion of the nursing programs in Wichita, Kansas; Bloomington, Minnesota; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Rapid City, South Dakota; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2009.

The corporate overhead allocation increase of approximately $0.8 million is a result of additional professional services necessary for a public entity such as legal and accounting fees as well as expenses related to stock compensation for the public entity.

Auxiliary. Auxiliary expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 were $0.7 million, for an increase of $0.2 million, or 58.2%, as compared to auxiliary expenses of $0.4 million for the same period in 2009.

Income before non-controlling interest and taxes. The income before non-controlling interest and taxes for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 7.1%, as compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2009. Again this decrease is due to the additional staff necessary to support the enrollment growth as well as the additional expenses related to being a public entity.

Total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $0.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 86.1%, as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the sale of additional condominiums. Revenue from condominium sales for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $0.2 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 100.0%, as compared to $0 for the same period in 2009. The selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 75.8 percentage points for the three months ended August 31, 2010, to 87.6%, as compared to 163.3% for the same period in 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of additional revenue base to support a larger margin impact for these expenses. The selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 were $0.4 million, an increase of 0.0%, as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2009. The cost of the condominium sales for the three months ended August 28, 2010 was $0.2 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 100.0%, as compared to $0 for the same period in 2009. The costs increased due to the increase in the condominium sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. At August 31, 2010, and May 31, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $39.5 million and $19.8 million, respectively. Consistent with our cash management plan and investment philosophy, a portion of the excess cash was invested in United States securities directly or through money market funds, as well as in bank deposits and certificates of deposit. Of the amounts listed above, the marketable securities for August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010 were $7.1 million and $11.1 million, respectively.

We maintain 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 first quarter of 2011, the lines of credit were not utilized.

We retain a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit with Great Western Bank. Advances under the line bear interest at a variable rate based on prime and are secured by substantially all assets of Dlorah and the personal guarantee of Robert Buckingham, the chairman of our board of directors. There were no advances outstanding made on this credit line at August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010.

We also retain a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank. Advances under the line bear interest at a variable rate based on prime and are secured by the Company’s checking, savings and investment accounts held by the bank. There were no advances outstanding against this line at August 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010.

Based on our 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 our plans for continued expansion and development of new programming, development of new hybrid learning centers, and growth of our affiliate relationships. The current plan anticipates spending over $13.0 million for our fiscal year ending May 31, 2011, as compared to $6.5 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010. Also, we believe that we are positioned to further supplement our liquidity with debt, if needed.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 were $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decrease is related primarily to the increase in accounts receivable due to increased enrollments.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities were $2.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2010, as compared to the net cash provided by investing activities of $0.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2009. The increase in the cash provided by investing activities was primarily related to the selling of investments in fiscal year 2011. Our investment committee is focused on capital preservation and management focuses on investing the cash in the best form with the highest return available that still maintains the preservation of the capital. This increase is a result of the timing of when investments matured compared to when they get reinvested.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities were $20.3 million and ($0.6 million) for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by this category consisted of the sale of stock for net proceeds of $31.4 million and the payment of the declared dividends of $11.1 million in fiscal year 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than operating leases, we do 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.

Impact of Inflation

The Company believes inflation has had a minimal impact on results of operations for the three month period ended August 31, 2010. We also increase tuition (usually once a year) to assist offsetting inflationary impacts without creating a hardship for students. 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. There can be no assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on operating results and financial condition.

Item 4.		Controls and Procedures.

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 Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

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.

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

In December 2007, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File No. 333-143098) that was declared effective by the SEC on November 26, 2007. Under the registration statement, we registered the offering and sale of 7,812,500 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. A total of 6,626,300 units were sold in the offering at a price to the public of $8.00 per unit. After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses of approximately $4.2 million, we raised a total of $48.8 million.

In connection with the transaction with Dlorah on November 23, 2009, we used $3.3 million of our IPO proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding warrants that were publicly traded immediately before the consummation of the Dlorah transaction, and $3.7 million of our proceeds from the IPO to buyout an employment agreement and legal, accounting, filing, and insurance fees associated with being a public entity.

We have used and intend to use the remaining net proceeds from the IPO for general corporate purposes and growth initiatives, including expansion of educational sites.
