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 $275 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, charter schools and private schools that utilize varying degrees of online and traditional classroom instruction, and other educational applications. In contracting with a virtual or hybrid public school, the Company typically provides students with access to the K¹² online curriculum, offline learning kits, and use of a computer as required or needed, and we also provide management services to these schools. The Company offers foreign language courses and camps with Middlebury Interactive Languages, our joint venture with Middlebury College. We also operate three online private schools: K¹² International Academy, Keystone School and the George Washington University Online High School. In addition, we own a brick and mortar private school, the International School of Berne (IS Berne) located in Berne, Switzerland, and currently own a 20% interest in The Web International Education Group, Ltd., a company providing English instruction to young adults in China. Through Capital Education LLC, we provide online services to post-secondary institutions. During fiscal year 2012, the Company manages schools in 29 states and the District of Columbia. The Company sells access to its online curriculum and offline learning kits directly to individual consumers as well. 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 March 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit) for the nine months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2012, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity (deficit) for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The results of the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2012 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 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 10K 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 usually 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 and hybrid public 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 computer where required or needed 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, 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 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 revenue estimates from the prior year are adjusted during the next fiscal year related to school audits.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no school accounted for more than 10% of revenues. Approximately 11% and 12% of accounts receivable was attributable to a contract with one school as of March 31, 2012 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 and hybrid 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 $3.4 million and $2.9 million as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

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 for 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.

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 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.

Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality

of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, as described in paragraph 350-20-35-4 of Topic 350. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any, as described in paragraph 350-20-35-9.

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company’s goodwill increased by approximately $6.7 million due to its acquisition of certain assets of Kaplan Virtual Education (KVE) 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 interim periods. The Company intends to complete its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2012.

The following table represents goodwill additions during the nine months ended March 31, 2012:


($ 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 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 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 stockholders 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 March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 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. 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.

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

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.

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.

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 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 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 41.0% and 50.0%, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 43.1% and 49.0%, 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 March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, computer equipment under capital leases were recorded at a cost of $87.8 million and $61.2 million, respectively, and accumulated depreciation of $56.5 million and $43.7 million, respectively.

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 Company expects to renew its lease line of credit prior to its expiration date. 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.

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 $275 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 offer foreign language courses and camps with Middlebury Interactive Languages (MIL), our joint venture with Middlebury College. We also operate three online private schools: K¹² International Academy, Keystone School and the George Washington University Online High School, as well as a brick and mortar private school, IS Berne. The Company currently has a 20% ownership interest in The Web International Education Group, Ltd. (Web) which provides English instruction to young adults in China. We also currently serve the post-secondary market through Capital Education LLC, a provider of online services to post-secondary institutions.

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 and hybrid public 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 and hybrid public 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 and hybrid public 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 and hybrid public 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 virtual public school, school district and private school partners. Virtual and hybrid public schools under turnkey management contracts (Managed Schools) account for approximately 84% of our revenue during the current fiscal year. For the 2011-12 school year, we 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. From time-to-time, service agreements with certain Managed Schools may not be renewed by us or the customer, although students are usually able to migrate to other Managed Schools serving the particular state.

We currently serve over 2,000 school districts or individual schools in all 50 states. 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 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 four 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 and hybrid public 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 University 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. This investment gives us the option by June 30, 2012 to: (i) purchase no less than 51% of Web before July 1, 2012, (ii) purchase all remaining equity interest between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015, (iii) put the shares back to Web for the $10 million investment plus interest, or (iv) maintain the 20% minority interest. 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. We are currently evaluating whether we will exercise our option to purchase additional interest in Web.

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 March 31, 2012, our total average enrollment was 147,728 students as compared to 101,030 students for the same period in the prior year, a growth rate of 46.2%. 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 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. As our business continues to evolve and diversify, we will be evaluating other metrics that may be more useful to investors.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we increased revenues to $178.2 million from $130.3 million in the same period in the prior year, a growth rate of 36.8%. The growth of revenue in the quarter reflects our organic revenue growth in our core Managed Schools business, increases in revenue from our Institutional Business and Private Schools, plus revenue from our acquisition of the International School of Berne on April 1, 2011, and the Kaplan/Insight asset acquisition on July 1, 2011, neither of which were included in our prior period results. Our operating income increased to $11.6 million from $10.8 million in the same period in the prior year, a growth rate of 7.4%. Net income to stockholders increased to $6.7 million from net income to stockholders of $5.3 million, an increase of 26.4%. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increase in operating income and lower income tax expense compared to the same period in the prior year.

In the last two years, we completed several strategic transactions to accelerate our growth, expand our course catalogue and service offerings and extend our distribution capabilities. 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 our acquisitions and investments.

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 investment gives us a 20% minority interest in Web, with the option by June 30, 2012 to: (i) purchase no less than 51% of the shares of Web, (ii) purchase all remaining equity interest between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015, (iii) put the shares back to Web for the $10 million investment plus interest, or (iv) maintain the 20% minority interest. Web is a provider of English language training for learners of all ages throughout China with an extensive network of learning centers in cities throughout the country. We are currently evaluating whether we will exercise our option to purchase additional interest in Web.

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 ($2.2 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 in certain schools 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 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 third quarter and year to date financial results. The prior year to date results include KCDL for approximately eight months and AEC for four months.

The third quarter and year to date results include operating activities associated with investments to support our growth and business expansion that were not incurred during the prior year periods. These investments include our internal business support systems, a second data center to support operations, and expansion of our products and services into new international, academic and institutional sales markets. Certain business support systems and a second data center were under development during prior periods and development costs were generally capitalized. The third quarter includes maintenance and license costs, depreciation and other operating costs associated with operating these assets. 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, third party distributor costs and third party royalty costs for our 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. Our other nascent businesses have not yet reached scale and are creating negative pressure on margins.

We incurred transition and integration costs during the current year to date period associated with the acquisition of the Kaplan/Insight Assets and temporary teach out costs associated with private school students acquired in the acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we have incurred additional legal costs defending various litigation against the Company. We believe that all the above factors, particularly the large infrastructure investments, mergers and the lower current year capitalization rate for various development projects, reduce the comparability of our operating results for the periods ended March 31, 2012 with the comparable 2011 periods.

Funding Overview

State education budgets 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 during the current year in light of certain funding proposals and for individual school deficit allowances in several states. In addition, because of current economic pressures on state funding, some states are delaying their payments to public schools. We have experienced delays in receiving payments from our Managed Schools that are dependent on state funding before remitting payment to us. As a result of these deferred payments, we have experienced higher accounts receivable throughout the third quarter and year, which has negatively impacted our cash position and cash provided from operations. We currently expect to receive payment from certain states that have deferred payment in the early part of our 2013 fiscal year.

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. As our business continues to evolve and diversify, we will be evaluating other metrics that may be more useful to investors.

Total average enrollments for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased to 147,728 or 46.2% as compared to 101,030 for the same period in the prior year. High school students comprised 44.8% of public school enrollment as compared to 26.1% in the same period in the prior year. Enrollments in Managed Schools for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased 46.4% to 105,912 from 72,344 for the same period in the prior year. Managed Schools include virtual and hybrid public schools.

Enrollments in Institutional Business for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased 49.4% to 31,367 from 21,002 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 March 31, 2012 increased 36.0% to 10,449 from 7,684 for the same period in the prior year. Private schools include the K12 International Academy, Keystone, GWUOHS, and IS Berne. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Revenues. Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $178.2 million, representing an increase of $47.9 million, or 36.8%, as compared to revenues of $130.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to 46.2% increase in enrollments in all K12 programs from organic growth and acquisitions. Our acquisitions contributed approximately $9.3 million revenue growth during the three ending March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period. Managed

Schools revenues increased by $37.7 million to $151.8 million during the third quarter as compared to the prior year. Institutional Business revenues increased by $4.5 million to $14.4 million during the third quarter as compared to the prior year. Private Schools and other revenues increased by $5.7 million to $12.0 million during the third quarter as compared to the prior year.

Instructional costs and services expenses. Instructional costs and services expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $106.0 million, representing an increase of $28.3 million, or 36.4%, as compared to instructional costs and services expenses of $77.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Instructional costs and services expenses decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue during the periods. The 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 $6.8 million associated with our increased enrollments.

Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses. Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $53.6 million, representing an increase of $16.8 million, or 45.7%, as compared to selling, administrative and other operating expenses of $36.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The primary drivers of this increase were: personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and incentive compensation; marketing; professional fees including student support center costs, the implementation costs of internal business support systems, legal costs associated with ongoing litigation and license and maintenance costs associated with internal infrastructure; and depreciation and amortization expenses. As a percentage of revenues, selling, administrative, and other operating expenses increased to 30.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 28.2% for the same period in the prior year, primarily associated with the items identified above.

Product development expenses. Product development expenses include costs related to new products and information technology systems. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, product development expenses were $7.0 million, representing an increase of $2.0 million, or 40.0% as compared to $5.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the increase in internal software development projects and other non-capitalizable work, which decreased the Company’s capitalization rate. This increase was offset by decreased amortization costs for the 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 slightly to 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 3.8% 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 March 31, 2012 was $0.3 million as compared to net interest expense of $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year.

Income taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $4.6 million, or 41.0% of income before income taxes, as compared to an income tax expense of $5.3 million, or 50.0% 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 transaction costs and other non-deductible expenses in the current period.

Noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.3 million as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Noncontrolling interest reflects the after-tax losses attributable to stockholders in our joint venture in the Middle East and Middlebury Interactive Languages.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2012 and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011

Revenues. Our revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were $538.0 million, representing an increase of $143.8 million, or 36.5%, as compared to revenues of $394.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to organic revenue growth in our core schools business and enrollment growth. Managed Schools revenues increased by $105.5 million to $451.5 million during the nine months as compared to the prior year. Institutional Business revenues increased by $20.8 million to $49.7 million during the nine months as compared to the prior year. Private Schools and other revenues increased by $17.5 million to $36.8 million during the nine months as compared to the prior year.

Instructional costs and services expenses. Instructional costs and services expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were $314.4 million, representing an increase of $85.4 million, or 37.3%, as compared to instructional costs and services expenses of $229.0 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an 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 $14.7 million due to our enrollment growth. As a percentage of revenues, instructional costs and services expenses remained relatively consistent at 58.4% compared with 58.1% for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses. Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were $175.8 million, representing an increase of $53.4 million, or 43.6%, as compared to selling, administrative and other operating expenses of $122.4 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; marketing and student enrollment counseling; third party commissions related to the Company’s institutional sales; accounting and internal and external 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 internal business support systems, transaction costs, and legal costs associated with ongoing litigation, and license and maintenance costs associated with internal infrastructure; and depreciation and amortization expense. As a percentage of revenues, selling, administrative, and other operating expenses increased to 32.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 31.1% for the same period in the prior year.

Product development expenses. Product development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, were $20.8 million, representing an increase of $8.5 million, or 69.1%, as compared to $12.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Product development expenses include costs related to new products and information technology systems. The 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. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses increased to 3.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 3.1% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the items identified above.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.7 million as compared to net interest expense of $1.0 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 nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $11.3 million, or 43.1% of income before income taxes, as compared to an income tax expense of $14.3 million, or 48.6% 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 transaction costs and other non-deductible expenses in the nine month period.

Noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.8 million as compared to noncontrolling interest of $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Noncontrolling interest reflects the after-tax losses attributable to stockholders in our joint venture in the Middle East and Middlebury Interactive Languages.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $123.7 million and $193.1 million, respectively, excluding restricted cash. The decrease of $69.4 million was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable from our Managed Schools. Because of current economic pressures on certain states’ funding, some states have delayed their payments to public schools,

and as a public school, we have experienced delays in receiving payments from some of our Managed Schools that are dependent on state funding before remitting payment to us. As a result, we have experienced higher accounts receivable throughout the current fiscal year than during prior fiscal years, which, in conjunction with an increase in capital expenditures, contributed to a reduction in our cash position. The buildup of accounts receivable has also contributed to a reduction in our cash provided from operations during the current fiscal year. In addition, we used cash to acquire the Kaplan/Insight Assets and invest in capital expenditures and product development. We also provided working capital to operate the acquired Kaplan/Insight schools and launches of new schools. We financed our capital expenditures during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 primarily with cash and capital lease financing. As of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, our cash balance included $6.7 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 $205.3 million and $96.2 million as of March 31, 2012 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 typically are at the highest levels in the first quarter as we begin billing for students and at the lowest levels during the fourth quarter as we receive final payments from the states. 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 March 31, 2012 no borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit and approximately $0.3 million was reserved for a letter of credit. We intend to renew our line of credit prior to its expiration in December 2012.

We have amended our equipment lease line of credit with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC to increase the amount available for new purchases of student computers to $27.0 million through 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. We intend to renew our equipment lease line of credit for future student computer financing prior to its expiration in August 2012 or to pursue other methods of financing student computers in future periods.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, we entered into capital leases totaling $25.6 million to finance the purchase of student computers and other equipment at an interest rate of approximately 2.76% bringing the total lease balance outstanding at March 31, 2012 to $34.1 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 March 31, 2012, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(13.5) million and $27.0 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, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and decreases in accounts payable; offset by deferred revenue, depreciation expense, deferred taxes, accrued expenses and inventory. We have experienced delays in receiving payments of our accounts receivables from certain Managed Schools that are dependent on state funding before remitting payment to us. As a result, we have experienced higher accounts receivable throughout the current fiscal year than during the prior fiscal year, which has negatively impacted our cash flows from operations.

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 of the Company’s continued investment in infrastructure to support current and future growth, including capital expenditures.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $45.5 million and $68.6 million, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized software, of $22.5 million, the purchase of Kaplan/Insight Assets of $12.6 million, and investment in capitalized curriculum development of $10.3 million, primarily related to the production of high school courses and middle school math courses.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to acquisition activities including the acquisition of AEC for $24.5 million (net of $3.8 million acquired cash and refunded escrow amounts), a $10 million investment of a 20% interest in Web International, and approximately $2.0 million for our acquisition of the International School of Berne, which formally closed on April 1, 2011. In association with the AEC acquisition, we deposited $6.8 million into a performance escrow with payment dependent on AEC achieving specified financial targets, and we were repaid the full $6.8 million during the period. In addition, investing activities included purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized software of $20.3 million, including $5.7 million for license and implementation of an enterprise software application, $2.2 million for expansion of our corporate offices, and $1.5 million for equipment in the build out of our second data center; investment in capitalized curriculum development of $11.7 million, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we financed through capital leases, purchases of student computers and other equipment in the amount of $25.6 million and $15.6 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $10.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to payments on capital leases and notes payable of $13.4 million and the repurchase of restricted stock for income tax withholding of $1.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $3.1 million and the related tax benefit of $1.2 million.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to repayments of capital lease and notes payable obligations of $12.4 million and withholding tax payments on vesting of restricted stock awards of $1.6 million, offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $8.3 million, and the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of $5.4 million. During the period, we borrowed $15 million under our line of credit for the acquisition of AEC and subsequently repaid the amount with cash provided by operations. As of March 31, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding on our $35 million line of credit.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to approximately $25.6 million for capital leases related to student computers, net of payments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $123.7 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 March 31, 2012, a 1% gross increase in interest rates earned on cash would result in $1.2 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 nine months ended March 31, 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. 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 March 31, 2012 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 internal business support systems, 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 March 31, 2012.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, 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.

Hoppaugh Complaint

On January 30, 2012, a securities class-action lawsuit captioned Hoppaugh v. K12 Inc., 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. 1:12-cv-103-CMH-IDD (the “Hoppaugh Complaint”). 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 Hoppaugh Complaint 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 financial 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 monetary damages and other relief. On April 2, 2012, the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System filed a Motion for Appointment as Lead Plaintiff, which is pending.
