Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Description of the Business

K¹² Inc., and its subsidiaries (K¹² or the Company), is a technology-based education company. The Company offers proprietary curriculum, software systems and educational services designed to facilitate individualized learning for students primarily in kindergarten through 12th grade, or K-12. The Company’s mission is to maximize a child’s potential by providing access to an engaging and effective education, regardless of geographic location or socio-economic background. Since the Company’s inception, we have invested approximately $260 million to develop and to a lesser extent, acquire curriculum and online learning platforms that promote mastery of core concepts and skills for students of all abilities. This learning system combines our curriculum and offerings with an individualized learning approach well-suited for virtual public schools, hybrid schools, school district online programs, public charter schools and private schools that utilize varying degrees of online and traditional classroom instruction, and other educational applications. In contracting with a virtual public school and hybrid school, the Company typically provides students with access to the K¹² online curriculum, offline learning kits, and use of a personal computer and provides management services to the school. The Company is also expanding its offering of foreign languages with Middlebury Interactive Languages, our joint venture with Middlebury College. The Company increased its international presence by taking a 20% ownership interest in The Web International Education Group, Ltd., a company providing English instruction to young adults in China, and we also currently serve the post-secondary market through Capital Education LLC, a provider of online services to post-secondary institutions (Capital Education). During fiscal year 2012, the Company manages schools in 29 states, including Tennessee and Louisiana, which were added in fiscal year 2012, and the District of Columbia. In addition, the Company sells access to its online curriculum and offline learning kits directly to individual consumers. We provide services through our institutional sales to customers in all 50 states.

2.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit) for the six months ended December 31, 2011 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2011, the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit) for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The results of the three and six month period ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012 or for any other interim period or for any other future fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present a fair statement of our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

from those estimates. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual reports on Form 10-K filed on October 7, 2011 and Form 10-K/A filed on December 8, 2011, which contains the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

3.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are principally earned from long-term contractual agreements to provide online curriculum, books, materials, computers and management services to virtual public schools, hybrid schools, traditional schools, school districts, public charter schools and private schools. In addition to providing the curriculum, books and materials under the virtual public school and hybrid school contracts from which most of the Company’s revenue is derived, the Company is responsible for all aspects of the management of those schools, including monitoring academic achievement, teacher hiring and training, compensation of school personnel, financial management, enrollment processing and procurement of curriculum, equipment and required services. The schools receive funding on a per student basis from the state in which the public school or school district is located. Shipments for schools that occur in the fourth fiscal quarter that are for the upcoming school year are recorded in deferred revenues.

Where it has been determined that the Company is the primary obligor for substantially all expenses under these contracts, the Company records the associated per student revenue received by the school from its state funding school district up to the expenses incurred in accordance with ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. For contracts in which the Company is not the primary obligor, the Company records revenue based on its net fees earned per the contractual agreement.

The Company generates revenues under contracts with virtual public schools and hybrid schools which include multiple elements. These elements include providing, in accordance with the policy of the governing body of the managed school, each of a school’s students with access to the Company’s online school and the online component of lessons; offline learning kits which include books and materials designed to complement and supplement the online lessons; the use of a personal computer and associated reclamation services; internet access and technology support services; the services of a state-certified teacher and; all management and technology services required to operate a virtual public school or hybrid school. In certain managed school contracts, our revenue is determined directly by per enrollment funding. As our services are performed over the fiscal year, we generally earn and recognize revenues ratably over that period.

The Company has determined that the elements of our contracts are valuable to schools in combination, but do not have standalone value. As a result, the elements within our multiple-element contracts do not qualify for treatment as separate units of accounting. Accordingly, the Company accounts for revenues received under multiple element arrangements as a single unit of accounting. We recognize the entire arrangement based upon the approximate rate at which we incur the costs associated with each element.

Under contracts with schools where the Company provides turnkey management services, the Company has generally agreed to absorb any operating losses of the schools in a given school year. These school operating losses represent the excess of costs incurred over revenues earned by the virtual public schools or hybrid schools as reflected on their financial statements. The costs include Company charges to the schools. The fact that a school has an operating loss in one year does not necessarily mean the Company anticipates losing money on the entire contract nor does it mean that K12 will lose money in that year, however, a school operating loss may reduce the Company’s ability to collect invoices in full. Accordingly, the Company’s recognized revenues reflect this reduction. The Company amortizes the estimated school operating loss against revenues based upon the percentage of actual revenues in the period to total estimated revenues for the fiscal year. Management

K12 Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

periodically reviews its estimates of full year school revenues and full year school operating expenses and amortizes the net impact of any changes to these estimates over the remainder of the fiscal year. Actual school operating losses may vary from these estimates or revisions, and the impact of these differences could have a material impact on results of operations. Since the end of the school year coincides with the end of the Company’s fiscal year, annual revenues are generally based on actual school revenues and actual costs incurred in the calculation of school operating losses. However, there are some situations where funding estimates are recorded into the next fiscal year.

On December 1, 2010, the Company acquired The American Education Corporation (AEC), a leading provider of research-based core curriculum for kindergarteners through adult learners. AEC derives revenues from four sources: (1) annual subscription license revenues; (2) license revenues from non-cancelable perpetual license agreements; (3) related professional and support services and (4) hosting services to provide customers with access to its online courses.

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605 when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed and determinable; and the collectability of the fee is probable. Revenue from hosting services is recognized over the term of the hosting agreement.

Revenue from the licensing of curriculum under subscription arrangements where AEC provides online access to curriculum is recognized on a ratable basis over the subscription period starting the later of the first day of the subscription period or when all revenue recognition criteria identified above have been met. Revenue from the licensing of curriculum under subscription and non-cancelable perpetual arrangements where AEC is not providing access via hosting services is recognized when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue from professional and support services include consulting and training services, which are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period.

Other revenues are generated from individual customers who prepay and have access to curriculum for 12 or 24 months via the Company’s Web site. The Company recognizes these revenues pro rata over the maximum term of the customer contract, which is either 12 or 24 months. Revenues from associated offline learning kits are recognized upon shipment.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we had contracts with two schools that individually represented approximately 8% of revenues, although no school accounted for more than 10% of revenues. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we had contracts with two schools that represented approximately 8% and 7% of revenues. Approximately 9% and 12% of accounts receivable was attributable to a contract with one school as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and affiliated companies that the Company owns, directly or indirectly, and all controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of schoolbooks and curriculum materials, a majority of which are supplied to virtual public schools and hybrid schools and utilized directly by students. Inventories represent items that are purchased and held for sale and are recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. Excess and obsolete inventory reserves are established based upon the evaluation of the quantity on hand relative to demand. The excess and obsolete inventory reserve was unchanged at $2.9 million as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Reclassifications

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

Series A Special Stock

The Company issued 2,750,000 shares of Series A Special stock in connection with its acquisition of KC Distance Learning, Inc. The holders of the Series A Special stock have the right to convert those shares into common stock on a one-for-one basis and for the right to vote on all matters presented to K12 shareholders, other than for the election and removal of directors, for which holders of the Series A Special stock have no voting rights.

Noncontrolling Interest

Earnings or losses attributable to other stockholders of a consolidated affiliated company are classified separately as “noncontrolling interest” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest reflects only its share of the after-tax earnings or losses of an affiliated company. Income taxes attributable to noncontrolling interest are determined using the applicable statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions where such operations are conducted. These rates vary from country to country. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect noncontrolling interest within the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets rather than in the mezzanine section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, except for redeemable noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest is classified separately in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit).

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable for cash or other assets and outside of the Company’s control are classified outside of permanent equity at fair value. The redeemable noncontrolling interests will be adjusted to their fair value at each balance sheet date. The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital.

Goodwill and Intangibles

The Company records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Finite-lived intangible assets acquired in business combinations subject to amortization are recorded at their fair value in accordance with ASU Topic 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Finite-lived intangible assets, and include trade names and noncompete agreements. Such intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360 — Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews its recorded finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between fair value and the carrying value of the asset.

ASC 350 prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or earlier when events or changes in circumstances suggest the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. The Company has elected to perform its annual assessment on May 31^st of each year.

During the first half of 2012, the Company’s goodwill increased by approximately $6.7 million due to its acquisition of certain assets of Kaplan Virtual Education and Insight Schools (Kaplan/Insight Assets) a subsidiary of Kaplan, Inc (see Note 10). The Company also recorded approximately $4.3 million in finite-lived

intangibles related to the acquisition of certain Kaplan/Insight Assets. The Company did not experience a significant adverse change in its business climate and therefore does not believe a triggering event occurred that would require a detailed test of goodwill for impairment as of an interim date. Consequently, the first step of the goodwill impairment test was not performed during the first or second quarter of 2012. The Company intends to complete its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2012.

The following table represents goodwill additions during the six months ended December 31, 2011:


($ in millions)	Amount

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include property, equipment, capitalized curriculum and software developed or obtained for internal use. In accordance with ASC 360, the Company reviews its recorded long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between fair value and the carrying value of the asset. There was no impairment for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended June 30, 2011.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1:		Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2:		Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:		Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments valuation.

The carrying values reflected in our consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and short and long term debt approximate their fair values. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is a result of the Company’s venture with Middlebury College to form a new entity, Middlebury Interactive Languages. Under the agreement, Middlebury College has an irrevocable election to sell all (but not less than all) of its Membership Interest to the Company (“put right”). The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest reflects management’s best estimate of the redemption value of the put right. The Company has recorded its investment in Web International Education Group, Ltd. (Web) as an available for sale debt security in accordance with ASC 320 Investments — Debt and Equity Securities because of our ability to put the investment to other Web shareholders in return for the original $10 million purchase price plus interest. The fair value reflects management’s best estimate of the investment in Web.

The following table summarizes certain fair value information at June 30, 2011 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Total	$	27,200		—		—	$	27,200

The fair value of the investment in Web as of December 31, 2011 was estimated to be $10 million. The fair value was measured based on the initial cost of the investment and Web’s financial performance since initial investment. There was no underlying change in its estimated market value. There have been no transfers in or out of Level 3 of the hierarchy for the period presented.

The fair value of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in Middlebury Joint Venture was measured in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and was based upon a valuation from a third party valuation firm as of June 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2011 the Company performed an internal analysis and determined there was no underlying change in the estimated fair market value. This analysis incorporated a number of assumptions and estimates including the financial results of the joint venture to date.

Net Income Per Common Share

The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC 260. Under ASC 260, basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes vested restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming conversion or exercise of all dilutive unexercised stock options and restricted stock awards. The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards was determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock awards, the amount of compensation cost for future service not yet recognized by the Company, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the stock options become deductible for income tax purposes, are all assumed to be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Stock options and restricted awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when they are antidilutive. Common stock outstanding reflected in our consolidated balance sheet includes restricted awards outstanding. Securities that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities. Since the Series A Shares participate in all dividends and distributions declared or paid with respect to common stock of the Company (as if a holder of common stock), the Series A Shares meet the definition of participating security under ASC 260 Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128. All securities that meet the definition of a participating security, regardless of whether the securities are convertible, non-convertible, or potential common stock securities, are included in the computation of both basic and diluted EPS (as a reduction of the numerator) using the two-class method. Under the two-class method all undistributed earnings in a period are to be allocated to common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, which provides authoritative guidance on application of a goodwill impairment model when a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying amount. When a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying value, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test should be performed if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not goodwill impairment exists. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 as of July 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combination, which provides authoritative guidance on disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The new guidance requires that pro forma financial information should be prepared as if the business combination has occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual period. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-29 as of July 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which provides authoritative guidance on disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of

K12 Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning on July 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the guidance to impact its financial condition and results of operations, as it only requires a change in the format of presentation.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which provides authoritative guidance to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. This accounting update permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning on July 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the guidance to impact its consolidated financial statements.

4.	Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. ASC 740 requires that the net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The provision for income taxes is based on earnings reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is measured by the change in the deferred income tax asset or liability during the period. For the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 43.4% and 44.2%, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 44.8% and 47.9%, respectively. The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes and certain expenses not deductible for income tax purposes.

5.	Long-term Obligations

Capital Leases

As of December 31 and June 30, 2011, computer equipment under capital leases are recorded at a cost of $81.7 million and $61.2 million, respectively, and accumulated depreciation of $51.9 million and $43.7 million, respectively. Borrowings under lease lines had interest rates ranging from 2.62% to 6.24% and included a 36-month payment term with a $1 purchase option at the end of the term. The Company has pledged the assets financed to secure the amounts outstanding.

The Company’s current lease line of credit with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC (“PNC”) expires in August 2012. The interest rate on new advances under the PNC equipment lease line is set at the time the funds are advanced based upon interest rates in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15.

Notes Payable

The Company has purchased computer software licenses and maintenance services through unsecured notes payable arrangements with various vendors at interest rates ranging up to 6.1% and payment terms of three years. There are no covenants associated with these notes payable arrangements. The balance of notes payable at December 31 and June 30, 2011 was $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Business combination

KCDL

On July 23, 2010, the Company acquired all of the stock of KCDL, a provider of online curriculum and public and private virtual education, by issuing to its parent company, KCDL Holdings LLC, 2,750,000 shares of a new class of stock designated as Series A Special Stock, which had a value at closing of $63.1 million. KCDL Holdings, Inc. is an affiliate of Learning Group, LLC, a related party. The holders of the Series A Special Stock have the right to convert these shares into common stock on a one-for-one basis and for the right to vote on all matters presented to K12 shareholders, other than for the election and removal of directors, for which holders of the Series A Special Stock shall have no voting rights.

The KCDL businesses include: Aventa Learning (online curriculum and instruction), the iQ Academies (statewide virtual public charter schools for middle and high school); and The Keystone School (international online private school). The operating results of KCDL have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements commencing as of the acquisition date of July 23, 2010.

The escrow amounts included $6.8 million for the achievement of specified financial targets for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. In March 2011, the specified financial targets were not achieved and consequently, this escrow amount was returned to the Company, thereby making the net acquisition cost approximately $24.6 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded net working capital accounts of $2.5 million,

K12 Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

long term assets of $8.4 million, goodwill of approximately $15.8 million, intangible assets of approximately $3.3 million, and other long term liabilities and taxes payable of $1.6 million. The allocation of the consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed under the purchase method of accounting is based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition of AEC has been included in the Company’s results since the acquisition date. Based on its analysis of the results of AEC, the Company has determined that the AEC acquisition had an immaterial proforma impact on the results for the three month period ended December 31, 2010.

An additional amount of approximately $6.8 million was held in escrow and, if specified claims against AEC arise for which the Company is indemnified, such amounts may be used to satisfy those claims but not to exceed it. K12 was not entitled to any claims against the indemnification escrow amount unless and until the aggregate claim amount exceeded $250,000. Distributions of the escrow balance to selling AEC shareholders were made in June and December 2011, however funds remain in the escrow account and as of December 31, 2011, the Company had a receivable from the escrow of $580,000.

Executive Summary

We are a technology-based education company. We offer proprietary curriculum, software systems and educational services designed to facilitate individualized learning for students primarily in kindergarten through 12th grade, or K-12. Our mission is to maximize a child’s potential by providing access to an engaging and effective education, regardless of geographic location or socio-economic background. Since our inception, we have invested approximately $260 million to develop and, to a lesser extent, acquire curriculum and online learning platforms that promote mastery of core concepts and skills for students of all abilities. This learning system combines our curriculum and offerings with an individualized learning approach well-suited for virtual public schools, hybrid schools, school district online programs, public charter schools and private schools that utilize varying degrees of online and traditional classroom instruction, and other educational applications. We are also expanding our offering of foreign languages with Middlebury Interactive Languages (MIL), our joint venture with Middlebury College. The Company increased its international presence by taking a 20% ownership interest in The Web International Education Group, Ltd., (Web) a company providing English instruction to young adults in China, and we also currently serve the post-secondary market through Capital Education LLC, a provider of online services to post-secondary institutions (Capital Education).

As with a traditional public school, a virtual public school or hybrid school must comply with state education regulations. The fundamental difference between traditional public schools and virtual public schools is that students attend virtual public schools and hybrid schools primarily over the Internet instead of traveling to a physical classroom. In their online learning environment, students receive assignments, complete lessons, and obtain instruction from certified teachers with whom they interact online, telephonically, in virtual classroom environments, and sometimes face-to-face. The majority of states have embraced virtual public schools or hybrid schools as a means to provide families with a publicly-funded alternative to a traditional classroom-based education. For parents who believe their child is not thriving and for whom relocating or attending a private school is not an option, virtual public schools and hybrid schools can provide a compelling choice. A hybrid school is a virtual public school that combines the benefits of face-to-face time for students and teachers in a traditional classroom setting along with the flexibility and individualized learning advantages of online instruction. From an education policy standpoint, virtual public schools and hybrid schools often represent a savings to taxpayers when compared with traditional public schools because they are generally funded at a lower per pupil level than the per pupil state average as reported by the U.S. Department of Education. Finally, because parents are generally not required to pay tuition to attend a public school, virtual public schools and hybrid schools make our learning system an attractive alternative within the public school system.

Our proprietary curriculum, online learning platform and varying levels of academic and management services, which can range from individual courses to complete turnkey online schools, are offered to our charter school, school district and private school partners. Virtual public schools and hybrid schools under turnkey management contracts (Managed Schools) account for approximately 86% of our revenue. For the 2011-12 school year, we will manage schools in 29 states and the District of Columbia. In July 2010, through our acquisition of KC Distance Learning, Inc. (KCDL), we added iQ Academies and now manage these programs in five states where we also manage other virtual public schools. These managed schools generally are able to enroll students on a statewide basis. We are also serving a growing number of hybrid schools, the first of which opened in Chicago in 2006.

The services we provide to these districts are designed to assist them in launching their own virtual school or hybrid programs and vary according to the needs of the individual school districts and may include teacher training programs, administrator support and our student account management system. With our services, districts can offer programs that allow students to participate full-time, as their primary school, or part-time, supplementing their education with core courses, electives or credit recovery options. We currently serve over 2,000 school districts or individual schools in all 50 states. We are serving a growing number of schools and school districts enabling them to offer our course catalogue to students either full-time or on an individual course basis. We have established a dedicated sales team to focus on this sector and, through our acquisition of KCDL, specifically Aventa, in July 2010 and The American Education Corporation (AEC) in December 2010, we increased the size and expertise of our sales team, added a reseller network, and expanded our course portfolio.

We manage three online private schools where parents can enroll students on a tuition basis for either a full-time online education or individual courses to supplement their children’s traditional instruction. In 2008, we launched the K¹² International Academy, a private school that we operate using our curriculum. This school is accredited and enables us to offer students worldwide the same full-time education programs that we provide to the virtual public schools and hybrid schools we manage, including the option to enroll in individual courses. This school is organized as a private international school and enrolled students can interact with their classmates from more than 85 countries. Through our acquisition of KCDL, we added The Keystone School, a private school that has been serving students for over 37 years and offers online and correspondence courses. In January 2011, we launched the George Washington Online High School (GWUOHS), a program that offers our college preparatory curriculum and is designed for high school students who are seeking a challenging academic experience and aspire to attend top colleges and universities. In April 2011, we acquired the operations and substantially all the assets of the International School of Berne (IS Berne), a traditional private school located in Berne, Switzerland serving students in grades Pre-K through 12.

We provide educational services to post-secondary institutions through our subsidiary, Capital Education. Programs are designed for colleges and universities seeking to build or expand their online presence. Our services include course development and distribution through a proprietary learning management platform, hosting and technical support, student advisory services and program administration.

We made a strategic investment for a 20% minority ownership interest in Web, a provider of English language training in China with the option to purchase no less than 51% of Web before July 1, 2012, and the option to purchase all remaining equity interest between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015. Web serves learners of all ages including university students, government workers, and employees of international companies. Web currently has an extensive network of learning centers throughout China. Web education centers are outfitted with learning labs that use modern computer terminals and internet connections. Students can access our curriculum and other electronic learning resources from the Web centers.

Across our educational programs, families come from a broad range of social, economic and academic backgrounds. They share the desire for individualized instruction so as to maximize their child’s potential. Examples include, but are not limited to, families with: (i) students seeking to learn faster or slower than they could in a “one size fits all” traditional classroom; (ii) safety, social and health concerns about their local school; (iii) students with disabilities who are underserved in traditional classrooms; (iv) students with geographic or travel constraints; and (v) student-athletes and performers who are not able to attend regularly scheduled classes. Our individualized learning approach allows students to optimize their academic performance and, therefore, their chances of achieving their goals.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our total average enrollment was 143,933 students as compared to 98,296 students for the same period in the prior year, a growth rate of 46.4%. Our enrollments include students in Managed Schools, students in programs offered by school districts (Institutional Business) and students in our Private Schools. Students served through our Institutional Business and Private School offerings may enroll in a single course. For better comparability, these students are converted to full-time equivalents (FTEs) on a four course basis. We currently exclude selected programs from our reported enrollment. For example, we do not include students in our consumer channel as we do not monitor the progress of these students in the same way as we do in other programs. We typically sell our A+ curriculum (acquired with AEC) as a site license. As these schools are not limited in the number of students who may access our curriculum, we do not include these students in our enrollment totals. We also exclude students from Capital Education and our classroom pilots.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, we increased revenues to $166.5 million from $129.0 million in the same period in the prior year, a growth rate of 29.1%. The growth of revenue in the quarter was negatively impacted by adjustments related to potential state funding reductions. Over the same period, operating income decreased to $7.1 million from operating income of $14.2 million, a decrease of 50.0%, and net income to shareholders decreased to $3.9 million from net income to shareholders of $7.7 million, a decrease of 49.4%. The decrease in operating and net income was primarily attributable to increased costs incurred associated with our expansion, costs to support infrastructure improvements to our ERP, CRM, and enrollment processing systems, acquisition integration costs and continued new initiatives for technology and product enhancements. Third party consulting costs related to the infrastructure spending will decline with project completion. In addition, due to the timing of product and system deployment, the capitalization rate of expenditures was materially less in the current quarter.

In the last two years, we completed several strategic transactions to accelerate our growth, expand our course catalogue and service offerings, extend our distribution capabilities, and strengthen our balance sheet. With these initiatives and our recent acquisitions, we believe we have improved our growth potential and the long-term ability to scale our business and operations. See Note 10 “Business combination” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the acquisitions and investments relating to AEC, Web, IS Berne and KVE.

Partnership with Blackboard Inc.

In October 2010, we announced a partnership with Blackboard Inc. (Blackboard) to develop a solution that delivers our adaptive courses through Blackboard Learn, Blackboard’s leading online teaching and learning platform. The combination is intended to reduce the cost of delivering remediation instruction while enabling community colleges and higher education institutions to offer a wider range of both self-paced and teacher-led online programs.

Acquisition of The American Education Corporation

In December 2010, we acquired the stock of The American Education Corporation (AEC) for a total cash purchase price of $35.2 million, including certain amounts held in escrow (which the Company received back) of $6.8 million and cash of $3.8 million, resulting in a net purchase price of approximately $24.6 million. AEC is a leading provider of research-based core curriculum instructional software for kindergarten through adult learners. The acquisition increased our portfolio of innovative, high quality instruction and curriculum used by school districts all over the country.

Investment in Web International Education Group, Ltd.

In January 2011, we invested $10 million in cash in Web International Education Group Ltd. (Web). This strategic investment gives us a 20% minority interest in Web, with the option to purchase no less than 51% of Web before July 1, 2012, and the option to purchase all remaining equity interest between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015. Web is a provider of English language training for learners of all ages throughout China, including university students, government workers, and employees of international companies. Web has an extensive network of learning centers in cities throughout China. The proceeds of the investment are intended to be used to expand Web’s learning center network into more cities in China. Web centers include learning labs that are outfitted with modern computers and connections to the internet.

Acquisition of International School of Berne

In April, 2011, we finalized our acquisition of the operations of the International School of Berne (IS Berne) for 2 million Swiss Francs ($2.0 million). IS Berne is a traditional private school located in Berne, Switzerland serving students in grades Pre-K through 12. IS Berne is an International Baccalaureate school in its 50th year of operation. We acquired substantially all of IS Berne’s assets, excluding real estate, and our purchase provided us with the right to operate the school.

Investment by Technology Crossover Ventures in K12 Inc.

In April 2011, we completed a private placement sale of 4 million shares of restricted Common Stock at a price of $31.46 per share to investment funds affiliated with Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV). The proceeds of $125.8 million were unrestricted and may be used for acquisitions, strategic investments and general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the transaction, our Board of Directors (Board) appointed a director nominated by TCV to the Board to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and on December 22, 2011, the TCV nominee was elected by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting. Additionally, we granted TCV the right to participate on a pro-rata basis in any subsequent private offerings of Common Stock by the Company, subject to certain exclusions such as issuances in connection with acquisitions or employee equity plans. As provided by the terms of the transaction, we filed a resale registration statement with respect to these shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2011 and the shelf-registration became effective on December 28, 2011.

Acquisition of Assets from Kaplan Virtual Education

In July 2011, we completed the purchase of certain assets and Insight School management contracts (Kaplan/Insight Assets) of Kaplan Virtual Education, a subsidiary of Kaplan, Inc. The Kaplan/Insight Assets included contracts to serve online public schools in eight states serving students in grades 6-12. The acquisition

allows us to serve more students with multiple curriculum platforms, leverage the Insight School brand to create a differentiated product offering for “at-risk” students and leverage our existing virtual academy operations. The Kaplan/Insight Assets have been integrated with our online charter school operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting policies are disclosed in our fiscal year 2011 audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report. Other than those described in the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no significant updates to our critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report.

Financial Statement Overview

The Company has experienced a number of changes that affect the comparability of period to period financial results. These changes include: the acquisition of KCDL on July 23, 2010; the acquisition of American Education Corporation (AEC) on December 1, 2010; the acquisition of the International School of Berne on April 1, 2011; and the acquisition of Kaplan Virtual Education and Insight Schools (Kaplan/Insight Assets), on July 1, 2011. The operating activities from these acquisitions are included in our current quarter and year to date financial results. And except for one month of operating activity from the American Education Corporation, the prior year periods do not include financial results from these acquisitions. The prior year quarterly results include KCDL and one month of AEC, and the prior year to date results include five months of KCDL.

The current quarter and year to date results include operating activities associated with significant investments to support our growth and business expansion that were not incurred during the prior year periods. These investments include our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, our Customer Resource Management (CRM) system, a second data center to support operations, and expansion of our products and services into new international, academic and institutional sales markets. The ERP system and second data center were under development during prior periods and development costs were generally capitalized. The current periods include new maintenance fees, license costs, depreciation and other costs associated with operating these assets. We initiated use of our CRM system at the beginning of 2012 and have incurred third party license fees associated with operating this system. The operating costs associated with maintaining these systems will continue in future periods.

Our student enrollment has experienced a shift in the mix of students in our programs with an increased level of high school students as compared to prior periods. The shift occurred from organic growth in our Virtual Academies, expansion of our private schools, and our acquisition of Kaplan/Insight Assets, which only included students in grades 6-12. Our continued expansion into the institutional sales business and private school markets also shifts the mix of our revenue and associated costs of providing services, including additional sales personnel and third party distributor costs for the institutional sales business. We may continue to experience changes in our enrollment, revenue and cost mix as we continue expansion into markets different than our traditional Virtual Academy business. High school and other nascent businesses have not yet reached scale and are creating negative pressure on margins, and the higher concentration of high school students is a contributing factor in our reduction in operating margins.

Our employee headcount has increased approximately 40% from December 2010 to December 2011 through our acquisitions and growth in Virtual Schools which increases our employee compensation and benefit costs. We incurred transition and integration costs during the current periods associated with the acquisition of the Kaplan/Insight Assets and temporary teach out costs associated with private school students acquired in the acquisition. We believe that all the above factors, particularly the large infrastructure investments, merger integration costs and the lower capitalization rate for various development projects, reduce the comparability of our operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 with the comparable 2010 periods.

Funding Overview

State education budgets continue to remain under pressure due to the current economic environment, and public school funding levels, including for the online public schools that we manage, have been reduced in many states over the past few years and even mid-year adjustments have occurred. We routinely monitor state legislative activity and regulatory proceedings that might impact the funding received by the schools we serve and to the extent possible, factor potential outcomes into our business planning decisions. We have taken reserves in this quarter in light of certain funding proposals and for individual school deficit allowances in several states.

Results of Operations

Enrollment

Our reported total average enrollments include students in Managed Schools, students taking K12 curriculum or Aventa online programs offered by school districts (Institutional Business), and students in Private Schools. Students served through our Institutional Business and Private School offerings may enroll in a single course. For better comparability, these students are converted to full-time equivalents (FTEs) on a four course basis. We currently exclude selected programs from our reported enrollment. For example, we do not include students in our consumer channel as we do not monitor the progress of these students in the same way as we do in other programs. We typically sell our A+ curriculum (acquired with AEC) as a site license. As these schools are not limited in the number of students who may access our curriculum, we do not include these students in our enrollment totals. We also exclude students from post-secondary institutions served by Capital Education and our classroom pilots.

Total average enrollments for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased to 143,933 or 46.4% as compared to 98,296 for the same period in the prior year. High school students comprised 35.1% of public school enrollment as compared to 25.9% in the same period in the prior year. Enrollments in Managed Schools for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 46.2% to 105,070 from 71,850 for the same period in the prior year. Managed Schools include all virtual public schools and hybrid schools.

Enrollments in Institutional Business for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 53.2% to 28,807 from 18,804 for the same period in the prior year. Our Institutional Business provides curriculum and services to schools and school districts. For better comparability, enrollments reported are converted to full-time equivalents (FTEs) on a four course basis.

Enrollments in Private Schools for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 31.6% to 10,056 from 7,642 for the same period in the prior year. Private schools include the K12 International Academy, Keystone, GWUOHS, and IS Berne as well as private brick and mortar schools. These private schools offer educational services on a full and part-time basis. For better comparability, enrollments reported are converted to full-time equivalents (FTEs) on a four course basis.

We have included below a discussion of our operating results and significant items which explain the material changes in our operating results during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and Three Months Ended December 31, 2010

Revenues. Our revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $166.5 million, representing an increase of $37.5 million, or 29.1%, as compared to revenues of $129.0 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to 46.4% increase in enrollments in all K12 programs, but was negatively impacted by revenue adjustments made to account for the potential risk of state funding reductions. In addition, acquisitions contributed approximately $10.4 million to revenue growth.

Instructional costs and services expenses. Instructional costs and services expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $100.9 million, representing an increase of $24.7 million, or 32.4%, as compared to instructional costs and services expenses of $76.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The overall increase in instructional costs and services expenses remained relatively consistent as a percentage of revenue. This increase includes expenses to operate and manage schools including the Insight Schools acquired from KVE and newly launched schools. In addition, costs to supply curriculum, books, educational materials and computers to students increased $3.0 million.

Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses. Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $51.0 million, representing an increase of $15.8 million, or 44.9%, as compared to selling, administrative and other operating expenses of $35.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The primary drivers of this increase were: personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and incentive compensation, professional fees including student support center costs and the ERP and CRM implementations and depreciation and amortization expenses. Included in the increase is a significant expansion of our internal institutional sales support and our external sales distribution network. The professional fees increases were partially offset by lower transaction and merger integration expenses in the quarter. As a percentage of revenues, selling, administrative, and other operating expenses increased to 30.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 27.3% for the same period in the prior year.

Product development expenses. Product development expenses includes costs related to new products and information technology systems. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, product development expenses were $7.6 million, representing an increase of $4.2 million, or 123.5% as compared to $3.4 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the increase of preliminary design work related to internal software development projects. Due to timing and nature of the projects, the capitalization rate during the period was lower than historical levels, resulting in higher current period expense. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses increased to 4.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 2.6% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the items identified above.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.2 million as compared to net interest expense of $0.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net interest expense is primarily due to lower average interest rates on capital lease obligations.

Income taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $3.0 million, or 43.4% of income before income taxes, as compared to an income tax expense of $6.1 million, or 44.2% of income before taxes, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in non-deductible expenses in the current period.

Noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.3 million as compared to noncontrolling interest of $0.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Noncontrolling interest reflects the after-tax losses attributable to shareholders in our joint venture in the Middle East and Middlebury Interactive Languages.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and Six Months Ended December 31, 2010

Revenues. Our revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were $359.8 million, representing an increase of $95.9 million, or 36.3%, as compared to revenues of $263.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to organic revenue growth in our core schools business. In addition, acquisitions contributed more than $26.2 million to revenue growth.

Instructional costs and services expenses. Instructional costs and services expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were $208.5 million, representing an increase of $57.2 million, or 37.8%, as compared to instructional costs and services expenses of $151.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to a $39.0 million increase in expenses to operate and manage schools including the

Insight Schools acquired from KVE and newly launched schools. In addition, costs to supply curriculum, books, educational materials and computers to students increased $7.9 million. As a percentage of revenues, instructional costs and services expenses remained relatively consistent at 57.9% compared with 57.3% for the six month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses. Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were $122.2 million, representing an increase of $36.5 million, or 42.6%, as compared to selling, administrative and other operating expenses of $85.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in: personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and incentive compensation; strategic marketing and advertising including brand awareness; and student enrollment counseling; third party commissions related to the Company’s institutional sales; accounting and audit fees related to the Company’s public filing and tax returns; investment in the institutional sales organization and distribution network; professional fees which included costs associated with the external sales force and the ERP and CRM implementations; and depreciation and amortization expense. These increases were partially offset by lower transaction and merger integration expenses. As a percentage of revenues, selling, administrative, and other operating expenses increased to 34.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 32.5% for the same period in the prior year.

Product development expenses. Product development expenses include costs related to new products and information technology systems. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, product development expenses were $13.8 million, representing an increase of $6.5 million, or 89.0% as compared to $7.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the increase of preliminary design work related to internal software development projects and new product development projects for the six month period. Due to timing and nature of the projects, the capitalization rate during the period was lower than historical levels, resulting in higher current period expense. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses increased to 3.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 2.8% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the items identified above.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.5 million as compared to net interest expense of $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net interest expense is primarily due to lower average interest rates on capital lease obligations.

Income taxes. Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $6.7 million, or 44.8% of income before income taxes, as compared to an income tax expense of $9.1 million, or 47.9% of income before taxes for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in non-deductible expenses in the current period.

Noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.5 million as compared to noncontrolling interest of $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Noncontrolling interest reflects the after-tax losses attributable to shareholders in our joint venture in the Middle East and Middlebury Interactive Languages.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $133.9 million and $193.1 million, respectively, excluding restricted cash. The decrease of $59.2 was primarily due to a significant increase in accounts receivable related to the investment of working capital for Kaplan/Insight Assets and launches of new schools; the funding of the acquisition of the Kaplan/Insight Assets; and to the investment in capital expenditures and product development. We financed our capital expenditures during the six months ended December 31, 2011 primarily with cash and capital lease financing. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, our cash balance included $4.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, associated with our consolidated joint ventures.

In addition to our cash and line of credit availability, we had accounts receivable of $196.7 million and $96.2 million as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Our accounts receivable provide an additional source of liquidity as cash payments are collected from customers in the normal course of business. Our accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout the year based on the timing of customer billings and collections. Accounts

receivable tend to be at the highest levels in the first quarter as we begin billing for students. Our accounts payable and accrued expenses also impact our liquidity as cash payments are made to vendors in the normal course of business. Our accounts payable balance fluctuates throughout the year based on the timing of expenses incurred and tend to be highest in the first quarter as we prepare for the school year and students.

We have a $35 million line of credit with PNC Bank that expires December 2012. As of December 31, 2011 no borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit and approximately $0.3 million was reserved for a letter of credit. It is the Company’s intention to renew this line of credit before it expires in December 2012.

In August 2011, we amended our equipment lease line of credit with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC to increase the amount available for new purchases to $18 million with an expiration date of August 2012. The interest rate on the borrowings is set at the time of borrowing based upon interest rates in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15. It is the Company’s intention to renew this equipment lease line of credit for future student computer financing before it expires in August 2012.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, we borrowed $19.5 million to finance the purchase of student computers and other equipment at an interest rate of approximately 2.73% bringing the total balance outstanding at December 31, 2011 to $32.0 million. These leases include a 36-month payment term with a bargain purchase option at the end of the term. Accordingly, we include this equipment in property and equipment and the related liability in capital lease obligations. In addition, we have pledged the assets financed with the equipment lease line to secure the amounts outstanding.

Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect to facility leases, capital equipment leases and other operating leases. We lease all of our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. We believe that the combination of funds currently available and funds to be generated from operations will be adequate to finance our ongoing operations for the foreseeable future. In addition, we continue to explore acquisitions, strategic investments, and joint ventures related to our business that we may acquire using cash, stock, debt, contribution of assets or a combination thereof. Should we exercise our option to make an additional investment in Web, we anticipate making the investment using our available cash or common stock or our available line-of-credit.

Redemption Right of Middlebury College

In the formation of our joint venture with Middlebury College (Middlebury), at any time after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the agreement, Middlebury may give written notice of its irrevocable election to sell all (but not less than all) of its Membership Interest to us (put right). Given the put right is redeemable outside of our control it is recorded outside of permanent equity at its estimated redemption value. The purchase price for Middlebury’s Membership Interest shall be its fair market value and we may, in our sole discretion, pay the purchase price in cash or shares of our common stock. We will record the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest on each balance sheet date in accordance with EITF Topic D-98 and any changes to the redemption value should be recognized as adjustments to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2011, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $17.2 million. The agreement also includes a provision whereby, if certain milestones are not met related to expanding the business by June 2014, Middlebury will have the option to repurchase certain contributed assets at their fair market value.

Operating Activities

Net cash (used in)/provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $(19.5) million and $7.1 million, respectively. Cash from operations reflects the timing of cash collections from services provided and payment of operating costs to fund the continued growth and expansion of our business. The decrease in cash from operations was the result of increases in accounts receivable, other current assets and prepaid expenses, and decreases in accounts payable; offset by deferred revenue, depreciation expense, accrued expenses and inventory.

The increase in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to our growth in revenues and to the Kaplan acquisition as there were no associated working capital adjustments. Accounts receivable balances tend to be at the highest levels in the first quarter as we begin billing for students. Deferred revenues are primarily a result of invoicing upfront fees, not cash payments. Deferred revenues increased primarily due to growth in enrollments and institutional sales. Deferred revenue balances tend to be highest in the first quarter, when the majority of students enroll, and are generally amortized over the course of the fiscal year.

The increase in accrued expenses is primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors and service providers for strategic marketing, student recruiting expenses, professional services, and equipment purchases. The decrease in inventories is primarily due to materials shipped to students, partially offset by purchases. Depreciation expense increased as a result in the Company’s continued investment in infrastructure to support current and future growth.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $34.0 million and $63.7 million, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $14.9 million, the purchase of Kaplan/Insight Assets of $12.6 million, and investment in capitalized curriculum development of $6.5 million, primarily related to the production of high school courses and middle school math courses.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to the purchase of AEC for $24.5 million net of cash received of $3.8 million and $6.8 million for the achievement of specified financial targets for three months ended December 31, 2010. We also transferred $10 million for our investment in Web. This cash was in transit as of December 31, 2010 and is recorded in long-term other assets. In addition, investing activities included purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software of $13.3 million and investment in capitalized curriculum development of $7.0 million. Curriculum development investments primarily related to the production of high school courses, middle school math courses, and language courses.

In addition to the investing activities above, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we financed through capital leases, purchases of student computers and other equipment in the amount of $19.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash (used in)/provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $(5.9) million and $10.0 million, respectively.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to payments on capital leases and notes payable of $9.0 million, the tax benefit of $1.2 million, and the repurchase of restricted stock for income tax withholding of $0.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.8 million.

For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily from our $15 million draw under our line of credit, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.9 million, repurchase of restricted stock for income tax withholding of $1.0 million, and the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of $1.3 million, partially offset by payments on capital leases and notes payable of $8.2 million.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we provided a guarantee of approximately $6.7 million related to a 10-year lease commitment on the building for a newly managed hybrid school. There were no other changes to our guarantee and obligations from those disclosed in our fiscal year 2011 audited consolidated financial statements.

Our contractual obligations consist primarily of leases for office space, capital leases for equipment and other operating leases. The total amount due under contractual obligations increased during the six months ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to approximately $19.5 million for capital leases related to student computers, net of payments.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

At December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $133.9 million and $193.1 million, respectively. Our excess cash has been invested primarily in U.S. Treasury money market funds although we may also invest in money market accounts, government securities, corporate debt securities and similar investments. Future interest and investment income is subject to the impact of interest rate changes and we may be subject to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2011, a 1% gross increase in interest rates earned on cash would result in $1.3 million annualized increase in interest income.

Our short-term debt obligations under our revolving credit facility are subject to interest rate exposure; however, as we had no outstanding balance on this facility during the six months ended December 31, 2011, fluctuations in interest rates had no impact on our interest expense.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We currently operate in several foreign countries, but we do not transact a material amount of business in a foreign currency. Therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates will not have a material impact on our financial statements. However, we are pursuing additional opportunities in international markets and expect our international presence to grow. If we enter into any material transactions in a foreign currency or establish or acquire any subsidiaries that measure and record their financial condition and results of operation in a foreign currency, we will be exposed to currency transaction risk and/or currency translation risk. Exchange rates between U.S. dollars and many foreign currencies have fluctuated significantly over the last few years and may continue to do so in the future. Accordingly, we may decide in the future to undertake hedging strategies to minimize the effect of currency fluctuations on our financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting was identified. The material weakness related to project management of a new enterprise-wide financial system (“ERP”) and affected the timeliness of our year-end close. Management assessed the processes surrounding the project management of the ERP implementation and determined that the ERP system implementation plan was insufficiently comprehensive which caused delays and ultimately prevented the year-end close from being completed in a timely manner. Rule 12b-2 and Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X define a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of the material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level.

We carried out an evaluation, required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this review, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011 as the material weakness identified as of June 30, 2011 still exists.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a result of management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, management identified a material weakness in our internal control. Specifically, management concluded that a material weakness relating to project management of a new enterprise-wide financial system (“ERP”) and the resulting effects on the timeliness of our year-end and quarterly close process existed in our internal control over financial reporting.

Management has assessed the processes surrounding the project management of the ERP implementation and determined that the ERP system implementation plan was insufficiently comprehensive which caused delays and ultimately prevented the year-end close from being completed in a timely manner. To address implementation challenges, external resources and Company information technology and accounting staff have been engaged in intensive quality control and checking of the new ERP system, including the interfaces with the multiple accounting systems inherited with our recent acquisitions to perform the year end close and ensure accurate financial reporting. The Company has completed its initial implementation and anticipates future enhancements and updates to the new ERP system. The Company will thoroughly review and improve its system implementation plans and related processes that impact future system implementations, enhancements and updates.

This control deficiency could have resulted in a material misstatement to the interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected as of the initial filing date deadline. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness as of December 31, 2011.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, the effort to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting has had a positive effect on our internal control over financial reporting. Management anticipates that these measures and other ongoing enhancements will continue to have a positive impact on our internal control over financial reporting in future periods. Notwithstanding such efforts, the material weakness related to project management of a new enterprise-wide financial system (“ERP”) and the resulting effects on the timeliness of our year-end close existed in our internal control over financial reporting described above will not be remediated until the new controls operate for a sufficient period of time and are tested to enable management to conclude that the controls are effective. Management will consider the design and operating effectiveness of these controls and intends to make additional changes that management determines to be appropriate.
