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, (“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, the Company has invested approximately $320 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 the Company’s curriculum and offerings with an individualized learning approach well-suited for virtual and blended public 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 and blended public school, the Company typically provides students with access to the K12 online curriculum, offline learning kits and the use of a personal computer in certain cases, in addition to providing management services. The Company manages virtual public schools in 32 states and the District of Columbia.

In addition, the Company works closely as partners with a growing number of public schools, school districts, private schools and charter schools enabling them to offer their students an array of solutions, including full-time virtual programs, semester course and supplemental solutions. In addition to curriculum, systems and programs, the Company provides teacher training, teaching services and other support services.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss), and the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 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 September 30, 2012, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit) for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The results of the three month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2013 or for any other interim period or for any other future fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 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 (the “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 the Company’s condensed 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 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 report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2012, which contains the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The Company operates in one operating and reportable business segment as a technology based education company providing proprietary curriculum, software systems and educational services designed to facilitate individualized learning for students primarily in kindergarten through 12th grade. The Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates profitability based only on consolidated results.

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 and blended public schools, traditional schools, school districts, public charter schools, and private schools. In addition to providing the curriculum, books and materials, under most contracts, the Company manages virtual and blended public 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 and for the upcoming school year are recorded in deferred revenues.

Where the Company has determined that it 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 where the Company is not the primary obligor, the Company records revenue based on its net fees earned under the contractual agreement.

The Company generates revenues under contracts with virtual and blended public schools which include multiple elements. These elements include providing each of a school’s students with access to the Company’s online school and the component of lessons; offline learning kits, which include books and materials to 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 management and technology services required to operate a virtual public or blended school. In certain managed school contracts, revenue is determined directly by per enrollment funding. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the period services are performed except for revenue on materials that is recognized upon shipment to students and the costs of materials are expensed.

The Company has determined that the elements of its contracts are valuable to schools in combination, but do not have standalone value. As a result, the elements within the Company’s multiple-element contracts do not qualify for separate units of accounting. Accordingly, the Company accounts for revenues under multiple element arrangements as a single unit of accounting and recognizes the entire arrangement based upon the approximate rate at which it incurs the costs associated with each element.

Under the contracts where the Company provides turnkey management services to schools, 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 or blended public school as reflected on its respective financial statements, including Company charges to the schools. A school operating loss in one year does not necessarily mean the Company anticipates losing money on the entire contract with the school. However, a school operating loss may reduce the Company’s ability to collect its management fees in full and recognized revenues are reduced accordingly to reflect the expected cash collections from such schools. 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 periodically reviews its estimates of full year school revenues and 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.

The Company provides certain online curriculum and services to schools and school districts under subscription and perpetual license agreements. Revenue under these agreements is recognized 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 the licensing of curriculum under subscription arrangements is recognized on a ratable basis over the subscription period.

Table of Contents

Revenue from the licensing of curriculum under non-cancelable perpetual arrangements is recognized when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue from professional consulting, training and support services are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period.

Other revenues are generated from individual customers who prepay and have access for 12 to 24 months to Company-provided online curriculum. The Company recognizes these revenues pro rata over the maximum term of the customer contract. Revenues from associated offline learning kits are recognized upon shipment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had contracts with two schools that represented approximately 14% and 10% of revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had contracts with two schools that represented approximately 7% and 9% of revenues. The percentage of revenues for these two schools is not indicative of the percentage of revenues for the full year. Approximately 10% and 11% of accounts receivable was attributable to a contract with one school as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified between instructional costs and services and selling, administrative and other expenses to conform to the current year presentation.

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 textbooks and curriculum materials, a majority of which are supplied to virtual public schools and blended public 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 $4.6 million and $4.5 million at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively

Other Current Assets

Other current assets consist primarily of textbooks, curriculum materials and other supplies which are expected to be returned upon the completion of the school year. Materials not returned are expensed as part of instructional costs and services.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and capitalized software development costs are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (or the lesser of the term of the lease and the estimated useful life of the asset under capital lease). Amortization of assets capitalized under capital lease arrangements is included in depreciation expense. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company determines the lease term in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, as the fixed non-cancelable term of the lease plus all periods for which failure to renew the lease imposes a penalty on the lessee in an amount such that renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. Property and equipment are depreciated over the following useful lives:

Table of Contents

		Useful Life
Student computers		3 years
Computer hardware		3 years
Computer software		3-5 years
Web site development costs		3 years
Office equipment		5 years
Furniture and fixtures		7 years
Leasehold improvements		3-12 years

Capitalized Software

The Company develops software for internal use. Software development costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles. The Company amortizes these costs over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years. Capitalized software development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.

Capitalized software development additions totaled $6.3 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs

The Company internally develops curriculum, which is primarily provided as online content and accessed via the Internet. The Company also creates textbooks and other materials that are complementary to online content.

The Company capitalizes curriculum development costs incurred during the application development stage in accordance with ASC 350. The Company capitalizes curriculum development costs during the design and deployment phases of the project. Many of the Company’s new courses leverage off of proven delivery platforms and are primarily content, which has no technological hurdles. As a result, a significant portion of the Company’s courseware development costs qualify for capitalization due to the concentration of its development efforts on the content of the courseware. Capitalization ends when a course is available for general release to its customers, at which time amortization of the capitalized costs begins. The period of time over which these development costs will be amortized is generally five years.

Total capitalized curriculum development additions were $5.1million and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These amounts are recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet net of amortization charges. Amortization is recorded in product development expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

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.

Series A Special Stock

The Company issued 2,750,000 shares of Series A Special stock in connection with an acquisition. 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 the right to vote on all matters presented to K12 stockholders, other than for the election and removal of directors, for which holders of the Series A Special stock have no voting rights.

Table of Contents

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 (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest reflects only the Company’s 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.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable outside of the Company’s control for cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent equity at redeemable value which approximates 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. Finite-lived intangible assets include trade names customer and distributor relationships and developed technology. Such intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011was $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Future amortization of intangible assets is $3.4 million, $3.1 million, $3.1 million, $3.0 million and $2.4 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 through June 30, 2017, respectively, and $20.4 million thereafter. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, goodwill balances were recorded at $61.4 million and $61.6 million, respectively.

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 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 31st of each year.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company’s goodwill decreased by approximately $0.2 million due to adjustments made related to the acquisition of certain K-12 assets and Insight School management contracts of Kaplan Virtual Education (“KVE”), a subsidiary of Kaplan, Inc., (the “Kaplan/Insight Assets”) (see Note 10) in connection with the finalization of the purchase price allocation.

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 charge for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, 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 the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventory and short and long term debt approximate their fair values.

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is a result of the Company’s joint venture with Middlebury College to form 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 of the put right.

The fair value of the investment in Web International Education Group Ltd. (“Web”) as of September 30, 2012 was estimated to be $10.0 million. The fair value was measured based on the initial cost of the investment and Web’s operating performance since the initial investment as U.S. GAAP financial statements for Web are not available to more definitively determine fair value; 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.

Table of Contents

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, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, 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, Earnings Per Share. 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. 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 the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes restricted awards outstanding. Securities that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities. Since the shares of Series A Special stock 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 shares of Series A Special stock meet the definition of a participating security under ASC 260. 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.

The following schedule presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which provides authoritative guidance on disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. This accounting update eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning on July 1, 2012. The standard has been adopted and the presentation of comprehensive income (loss) has changed.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which provides authoritative guidance on application of the impairment model for indefinite-lived intangible assets. This accounting updated permits an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired as part of its annual assessment. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning on July 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or disclosures.

4. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on earnings reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by applying currently enacted tax laws and rates to the expected reversal of the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is measured by the change in the deferred income tax asset or liability during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 46.1% and 46.0%, 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 September 30 and June 30, 2012, computer equipment under capital leases were recorded at a cost of $96.2 million and $81.9 million, respectively, and accumulated depreciation of $59.3 million and $54.4 million, respectively. Borrowings under lease lines bore interest at rates ranging from 2.62% to 4.96% 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 computer equipment lease line is subject to cross default compliance provisions in the Company’s existing line of credit agreement.

We incur capital lease obligations under a lease line of credit with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC with annual borrowing limits. Capital lease borrowings are repaid over three years following the incurrence of a lease with a bargain purchase option at the end of the term. We have pledged the assets financed under the equipment lease line of credit to secure the amounts outstanding. In July 2012, our annual availability under the lease line of credit was increased to $35 million for student computer leasing during our 2013 fiscal year. This borrowing availability expires in August 2013 and interest rates on the new borrowings are based upon an initial rate of 2.91% modified by changes in the three year interest rate swaps rate as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15, “Selected Interest Rates,” between June 11, 2012 and the Lease Commencement Date. As of September 30, 2012, our outstanding balance under the lease line of credit was an aggregate of $40.8 million.

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 more than $320 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. K12 provides a continuum of technology-based educational products and solutions to districts, public schools, private schools, charter schools and families as we strive to transform the educational experience into one that delivers individualized education on a highly scalable basis.

Virtual and blended public schools generally under turn-key management contracts (Managed Public Schools) accounted for approximately 84% of our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2012. We currently manage public schools in 32 states and the District of Columbia.

Table of Contents

We serve an increasing number of schools and school districts enabling them to offer our course catalog to students either full-time or on an individual course basis. We have a growing sales team to focus on this sector and, through our acquisitions of KC Distance Learning, or KCDL, and The American Education Corporation, or AEC, in 2010, we increased the size and expertise of our sales team, added a reseller network and expanded our course portfolio. The services we provide to these schools and school districts are designed to assist them in launching their own online learning programs which vary according to the needs of the individual school and school district and may include teacher training programs, administrator support and our PEAK12 management system. With our services, schools and 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, credit recovery options, remediation and supplemental content options. We continued to provide these services to school districts or individual schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

We operate three online private schools where parents can enroll students on a tuition basis for a full-time online education or individual courses to supplement their children’s traditional instruction. These include our K12 International Academy, an online private school that enables us to offer students worldwide the same full-time education programs and curriculum that we provide to the virtual and blended public schools, The Keystone School, a private school that offers online and correspondence courses, and the George Washington University Online High School, a program that offers college preparatory curriculum and is designed for high school students who are seeking a challenging academic experience. In addition, we own and operate the International School of Berne, or IS Berne, a traditional private school located in Berne, Switzerland and a recognized IB school serving students in grades Pre-K through 12.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we increased revenues to $221.1 million from $193.3 million in the same period in the prior year, a growth rate of 14.4%. Over the same period, operating income increased to $8.7 million from $8.3 million, a change of 4.8%, and net income to common stockholders decreased to $4.4 million from $4.6 million, a change of 4.3%. The increase in operating income was primarily due to increases in revenue from period to period, while the change in net income to common stockholders was due to an increase in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Recent Acquisitions, Strategic Investments and Equity Private Placement

During the last three years, we completed several strategic transactions to accelerate our growth, expand our course catalog and service offerings and extend our distribution capabilities. While these initiatives have expanded our markets and growth opportunities, we have incurred additional costs associated with acquiring, integrating and operating these acquired businesses.

Formation of Middlebury Interactive Languages LLC

In April 2010, we formed a joint venture with Middlebury College, known as MIL, to develop online foreign language courses. We contributed substantially all of the assets in our Power-Glide Language Courses Inc. subsidiary, along with certain intellectual property licenses and cash for a 60% interest in the joint venture. Middlebury College contributed a license to use its school name, its Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy business and cash for a 40% interest in the joint venture. As the majority and controlling owner, we consolidate the results and operations of MIL into our financial statements. We offer the MIL courses in our virtual and blended public schools and to school districts and believe they have wide applicability in online learning. MIL creates innovative, online language programs for pre-college students and leverages Middlebury College’s recognized experience in foreign language instruction and our expertise in online education. Language faculty from Middlebury collaborates with MIL to develop and manage the academic content of the Web-based language courses. MMLA offers foreign language camps through four-week residential and day camps at selected college campuses.

Acquisition of KC Distance Learning, Inc.

In July 2010, we acquired KCDL, a provider of online curriculum and public and private virtual education. KCDL included three distribution channels: Aventa Learning (online curriculum and instruction), The Keystone School (an online and correspondence private school) and the contracts to serve iQ Academies (statewide virtual public charter schools). Aventa Learning offers schools and school districts over 140

core, elective and Advanced Placement, or AP, courses in grades 6-12, including credit recovery courses, full-scale virtual school programs and instructional services.

Acquisition of The American Education Corporation

In December 2010, we acquired the stock of AEC. AEC is a leading provider of research-based core curriculum instructional software for kindergarten through adult learners. The acquisition increases our portfolio of innovative, high quality instructional courseware and curriculum used by school districts all over the country.

Investment in Web International Education Group, Ltd.

In January 2011, we invested $10.0 million to obtain a 20% minority interest in Web International Education Group, Ltd or Web. 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 and it maintains an extensive network of learning centers throughout China.

Acquisition of International School of Berne

In April, 2011, we acquired the operations of IS Berne, a traditional private school located in Berne, Switzerland serving students in grades Pre-K through 12. IS Berne is an IB school in its 50th year of operation. Our purchase provided us with the right to operate IS Berne and substantially all of its assets excluding real estate.

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 Technology Crossover Ventures, or TCV. The gross proceeds of $125.8 million were unrestricted and available for acquisitions, strategic investments and general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the transaction, our Board of Directors, or Board, appointed a director nominated by TCV to the Board to hold office until our next annual meeting. Additionally, we granted TCV the right to participate on a pro-rata basis in any of our subsequent private offerings of common stock, 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 SEC and the registration statement was declared effective.

Acquisition of Assets from Kaplan Virtual Education

In July 2011, we completed the purchase of certain K-12 assets and Insight School management contracts of KVE, a subsidiary of Kaplan, Inc. KVE 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 and leverage the Insight School brand and our existing virtual academy 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 2012 Annual Report. There have been no significant updates to our critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report.

Revenue by Business Lines

Revenue is captured by business line based on the underlying customer contractual agreement. Periodically, a customer may change business line classification. For example, a district who purchases a single course (Institutional Business customer) may decide to implement a full-time virtual school program (Managed Public School customer). Changes in business line classification occur at the time the contractual agreement is modified. The following represents our revenue for our three lines of business for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011

Revenues. Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $221.1 million, representing an increase of $27.8 million, or 14.4%, as compared to revenues of $193.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Managed Public Schools revenue increased 17.8% year over year, primarily as a result of organic growth in existing states. The growth in Managed Public Schools revenue was driven by a 14.1% growth in average student enrollments and an increase in average revenue per student due to improved capture and a decrease in the number of unfunded enrollments. At the same time, International and Private Pay Business cumulative semester course enrollments grew 3.9% year over year. Revenue growth year over year was partially offset by a decline in Institutional Business revenue, primarily as a result of perpetual license revenue in the prior year period.

Instructional costs and services expenses. Instructional costs and services expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $118.6 million, representing an increase of $17.5 million, or 17.3%, from

Table of Contents

$101.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The three months ended September 30, 2011 gives effect to a reclassification of certain costs to selling, administrative and other operating expenses to conform with the presentation for the period ended September 30, 2012 and to reflect changes in our enrollment operations. Instructional costs and services expenses were 53.7% of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase from the 52.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase as a percentage of revenue was associated primarily with advance hiring during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses. Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $89.6 million, representing an increase of $11.8 million, or 15.2%, as compared to $77.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The three months ended September 30, 2011 gives effect to a reclassification of certain costs from instructional costs and services expenses to conform with the presentation for the period ended September 30, 2012 and to reflect changes in our enrollment operations. As a percentage of revenues, selling, administrative, and other operating expenses increased to 40.5% from 40.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel costs related to growth in headcount, related benefits and recruiting costs. This was partially offset by a decrease in ERP implementation costs.

Product development expenses. Product development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $4.2 million, representing a decrease of $2.0 million, or 32.3%, as compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses decreased to 1.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 3.2% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to more development projects that qualify for cost capitalization than in the prior year and a decrease in ERP implementation costs. Our cash expenditures for product development, including capitalized costs, however, increased year over year by 4%.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.2 million, unchanged from the same period in the prior year. Net interest expense is primarily associated with interest on our student computer leases.

Income taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.9 million, or 46.1% of income before taxes, compared to $3.7 million, or 46.0% of income before taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The tax rate remained relatively consistent between periods.

Noncontrolling interest. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.2 million compared to a net loss from noncontrolling interest of $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Noncontrolling interest reflects the after-tax income/losses attributable to minority interest owners in our joint venture investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, we had net working capital, or current assets minus current liabilities, of $292.2 million. Our working capital includes cash and cash equivalents of $107.9 million, including $4.6 million associated with our two joint ventures, and accounts receivable of $258.8 million. Our working capital provides a significant source of liquidity for our normal operating needs. Our accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout the fiscal year based on the timing of customer billings and collections and tends to be highest in our first fiscal quarter as we begin billing for students. In addition, our cash and accounts receivable were significantly in excess of our accounts payable and short-term accrued liabilities at September 30, 2012.

We have a $35.0 million line of credit with PNC Bank, N.A., or PNC, for general corporate operating purposes, which we refer to as the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides the ability, if required, to fund operations until cash is received from the schools. The Credit Agreement matures in December 2012 and although we currently expect to enter into a new line of credit agreement prior to termination of the existing line of credit, there can be no guarantee that we will do so on acceptable terms,

Table of Contents

if at all. Interest is charged, at our option, either at: (i) the higher of (a) the rate of interest announced by PNC from time to time as its “prime rate” and (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%; or (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) divided by a number equal to 1.00, minus the maximum aggregate reserve requirement which is imposed on member banks of the Federal Reserve System against “Eurocurrency liabilities,” plus the applicable margin for such loans, which ranges between 1.50% and 2.00%, based on the leverage ratios (as defined in the Credit Agreement). We pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion available under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes a $5.0 million letter of credit facility. Issuance of letters of credit reduces the availability of permitted borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. The Credit Agreement contains a number of financial and other covenants that, among other things, restrict our and our subsidiaries abilities to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, or other security interests, make certain investments, become liable for contingent liabilities, make specified restricted payments, including dividends, dispose of assets or stock, including the stock of our subsidiaries, or make capital expenditures above specified limits and engage in other matters customarily restricted in senior secured credit facilities. We must not exceed a maximum debt leverage ratio. These covenants are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants. As of September 30, 2012, no borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit and approximately $0.3 million was reserved for a letter of credit.

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 to be generated from operations, net working capital on hand and access to our line of credit will be adequate to finance our ongoing operations for the foreseeable future. In addition, to a lesser degree, 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.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $17.2 million compared to net cash used in operations of $35.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $17.8 million change in cash used in operations between periods was attributable to higher net income and depreciation, higher cash collections from accounts receivable, and less investment in working capital during the three months ended September 30, 2012 than during the prior year period. These cash collections relate to accounts receivable that increased during our 2012 fiscal year from state funding delays to certain of our managed public schools. Also, the three months ended September 30, 2011 included the effects of the build-up of working capital attributable to the acquisition of the Kaplan/Insight Schools.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $15.2 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $6.1 million. This decrease is due to a $6.6 million increase in capital expenditures, capitalized software and curriculum offset by the payment of $12.6 million for the purchase of the Kaplan/Insight Assets in the prior period.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $4.5 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our primary use of cash in financing activities is for the payment of capital lease obligations incurred for the acquisition of student computers. Our cash payments for capital leases increased approximately $0.7 million between periods resulting from increased purchases of student computers financed under capital leases. The three months ended September 30, 2011 included approximately $1.0 million more in proceeds from the exercise of stock options than the three months ended September 30, 2012. The timing of cash from the exercise of options impacts our net cash used in financing activities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have provided guarantees of approximately $11.3 million related to long-term lease commitments on the buildings for certain of our Flex schools. We contractually guarantee that certain schools under our management will not have annual operating deficits and our management fees from these schools may be reduced accordingly to cover any school operating deficits. Other than these lease and operating deficit guarantees, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $107.9 million and $144.7 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 September 30, 2012, a 1% gross increase in interest rates earned on cash would result in a $1.1 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 three months ended September 30, 2012, 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 and 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(f) 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.

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 effective as of September 30, 2012.

Hoppaugh Complaint and Related Matters

On January 30, 2012, a securities class-action lawsuit captioned Hoppaugh v. K12, was filed against the Company and two of its officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Hoppaugh v. K12, Inc., Case No. I:12-CV-00103-CMH-IDD. On May 18, 2012, the Court appointed the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System as lead plaintiff, and it filed an amended class action complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on June 22, 2012. The plaintiff purports to represent a class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired K12 common stock between September 9, 2009 and December 16, 2011, inclusive, and alleges violations by the defendants of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiff alleges among other things that the defendants made false or misleading statements of material fact, or failed to disclose material facts, about (i) the Company’s revenue and enrollment results during the class period, (ii) the academic performance of the virtual schools served by the Company, and (iii) certain school administrative practices and sales strategies related to enrollments. The plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages and other relief. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the claims asserted in the Amended Complaint. On September 18, 2012, the
