<b><i>Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 8%">
A significant portion of the University’s revenue is received
from students who participate in government financial aid and
assistance programs. Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily
represent amounts received from the federal and state governments
under various student aid grant and loan programs, such as Title
IV. The University receives these funds subsequent to the
completion of the authorization and disbursement process and holds
them for the benefit of the student. The U.S. Department of
Education (“Department of Education”) requires Title IV
funds collected in advance of student billings to be restricted
until the course begins. The University records all of these
amounts as a current asset in restricted cash and cash equivalents.
The majority of these funds remains as restricted for an average of
60 to 90 days from the date of receipt.</p>

The University accrues for contingent obligations when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is
reasonably estimable. When the University becomes aware of a claim
or potential claim, the likelihood of any loss exposure is
assessed. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount
of the loss is estimable, the University records a liability for
the estimated loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of
the potential loss is not estimable, the University will disclose
the claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably
possible and the amount of the potential loss could be material.
Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include
tax, legal, and other regulatory matters, which are subject to
change as events evolve, and as additional information becomes
available during the administrative and litigation process. The
University expenses legal fees as incurred.</p>

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the University
granted 187 shares of common stock with a service vesting condition
to certain of its executives, officers, faculty and employees. The
restricted shares have voting rights and vest in five annual
installments of 20%, with this first installment vesting in March
of the calendar year following the date of grant (the “first
vesting date”) and on each of the four anniversaries of the
first vesting date. Upon vesting, shares will be held in lieu of
taxes equivalent to the minimum statutory tax withholding required
to be paid when the restricted stock vests. During the three months
ended March 31, 2017, the University withheld 147 shares of
common stock in lieu of taxes at a cost of $9,516 on the restricted
stock vesting dates.</p>

Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet
as assets or liabilities and <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">re-measured</font> at fair value at each
reporting date. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the
effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported
as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into
earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative
representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components
excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in
current earnings.</p>

Derivative financial instruments enable the University to manage
its exposure to interest rate risk. The University does not engage
in any derivative instrument trading activity. Credit risk
associated with the University’s derivatives is limited to
the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in
accordance with the terms of the contract. Exposure to counterparty
credit risk is considered low because these agreements have been
entered into with institutions with strong credit ratings, and they
are expected to perform fully under the terms of the
agreements.</p>

2016 was $483 and $490, respectively, which is included in other
assets. The fair value of the derivative instrument was determined
using a hypothetical derivative transaction and Level 2 of the
hierarchy of valuation inputs. This derivative instrument was
originally designated as a cash flow hedge of variable rate debt
obligations. The adjustment of $8 and $386 for the three months
ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for the effective
portion of the losses on the derivatives is included as a component
of other comprehensive income, net of
taxes.    </p>

The interest rate corridor instrument reduces variable interest
rate risk starting March 1, 2013 through December 20,
2019 with a notional amount of $71,667 as of March 31, 2017.
The corridor instrument’s terms permits the University to
hedge its interest rate risk at several thresholds; the University
pays variable interest monthly based on the 30 Day LIBOR rates
until that index reaches 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR is equal to 1.5%
through 3.0%, the University pays 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR exceeds
3.0%, the University pays actual 30 Day LIBOR less 1.5%.</p>

As of March 31, 2017, no derivative ineffectiveness was
identified. Any ineffectiveness in the University’s
derivative instrument designated as a hedge is reported in interest
expense in the income statement. At March 31, 2017, the
University does not expect to reclassify gains or losses on
derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) into earnings during the next 12 months.</p>

From time to time, the University is a party to various lawsuits,
claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary
course of business, some of which are covered by insurance. When
the University is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses
the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a
loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated, the University records a liability for the loss. If the
loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably
estimated, the University discloses the nature of the specific
claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible
and the amount involved could be material. With respect to the
majority of pending litigation matters, the University’s
ultimate legal and financial responsibility, if any, cannot be
estimated with certainty and, in most cases, any potential losses
related to those matters are not considered probable.</p>

The University evaluates the recoverability of our long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the
assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets.</p>

In May 2014, the FASB issued “<i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, as amended.” The standard is a comprehensive
new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be
recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services
to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected
to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The
accounting guidance also requires additional disclosure about the
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows
arising from customer contracts, including significant judgements
and changes in judgements and assets recognized from costs incurred
to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB approved
a <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">one-year</font> delay in the effective date.
The University will adopt this new standard January 1, 2018
using either of two acceptable adoption methods:
(i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period
presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as
defined within the standard; or (ii) adoption with the
cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at
the date of initial application and providing certain additional
disclosure as defined within the standard. Management is in the
diagnostic phase of assessing the financial and business impacts of
implementing, <i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, including identifying revenue sources within the
University and developing a preliminary assessment. The majority of
our revenues are related to tuition due from our
students.    Tuition revenues are
recognized <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">pro-rata</font> over the applicable period of
instruction which the University believes is consistent with the
revenue recognition method required by the new standard. Thus, we
anticipate the adoption of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of
operations. The University is continuing to evaluate the impact the
adoption of this standard will have on our other revenues and fees
in our consolidated financial statements and the method of adoption

In January 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Financial Instruments
– Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities</i>.” The standard addresses
certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and
disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the
amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value of
equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized
through net income rather than other comprehensive income
(“OCI”). This standard is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will
have on our consolidated financial statements.</p>

In February 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Leases</i>.” The
standard establishes a <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap"><font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">right-of-use</font></font> (“ROU”) model that
requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on
the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms longer than 12
months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating,
with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in
the income statement. This standard is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach. A modified
retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for
capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after,
the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the
financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.
The University has begun evaluating the impact that the future
adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial
statements and we believe the adoption will slightly increase our
assets and liabilities, and will increase our financial statement
disclosures.</p>

In June 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments</i>”. The new guidance revises the accounting
requirements related to the measurement of credit losses on
financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are
recorded. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years and interim periods
within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2020 using a modified retrospective approach, and we are currently
evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our
consolidated financial statements.</p>

<b><i>Allowance for Doubtful Accounts</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 8%">
The University records an allowance for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal
of its students to make required payments, which includes the
recovery of financial aid funds advanced to a student for amounts
in excess of the student’s cost of tuition and related fees.
The University determines the adequacy of its allowance for
doubtful accounts based on an analysis of its historical bad debt
experience, current economic trends, the aging of the accounts
receivable and student status. The University applies reserves to
its receivables based upon an estimate of the risk presented by the
age of the receivables and student status. The University writes
off accounts receivable balances at the earlier of the time the
balances were deemed uncollectible, or one year after the revenue
is generated. The University accelerates the write off of inactive
student accounts such that the accounts are written off by day 150.
The University reflects accounts receivable with an offsetting
allowance as long as management believes there is a reasonable
possibility of collection. Bad debt expense is recorded as an
instructional costs and services expense in the consolidated income
statement.</p>

A significant portion of the University’s revenue is received
from students who participate in government financial aid and
assistance programs. Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily
represent amounts received from the federal and state governments
under various student aid grant and loan programs, such as Title
IV. The University receives these funds subsequent to the
completion of the authorization and disbursement process and holds
them for the benefit of the student. The U.S. Department of
Education (“Department of Education”) requires Title IV
funds collected in advance of student billings to be restricted
until the course begins. The University records all of these
amounts as a current asset in restricted cash and cash equivalents.
The majority of these funds remains as restricted for an average of
60 to 90 days from the date of receipt.</p>

effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported
as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into

Derivative financial instruments enable the University to manage
its exposure to interest rate risk. The University does not engage
in any derivative instrument trading activity. Credit risk
associated with the University’s derivatives is limited to
the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in
accordance with the terms of the contract. Exposure to counterparty
credit risk is considered low because these agreements have been
entered into with institutions with strong credit ratings, and they
are expected to perform fully under the terms of the
agreements.</p>

On February 27, 2013, the University entered into an interest
rate corridor to manage its 30 Day LIBOR interest exposure related
to its variable rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate
corridor instrument as of March 31, 2017 and December 31,
2016 was $483 and $490, respectively, which is included in other
assets. The fair value of the derivative instrument was determined
using a hypothetical derivative transaction and Level 2 of the
hierarchy of valuation inputs. This derivative instrument was
originally designated as a cash flow hedge of variable rate debt
obligations. The adjustment of $8 and $386 for the three months
ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for the effective
portion of the losses on the derivatives is included as a component
of other comprehensive income, net of
taxes.    </p>

The interest rate corridor instrument reduces variable interest
rate risk starting March 1, 2013 through December 20,
2019 with a notional amount of $71,667 as of March 31, 2017.
The corridor instrument’s terms permits the University to
hedge its interest rate risk at several thresholds; the University
pays variable interest monthly based on the 30 Day LIBOR rates
until that index reaches 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR is equal to 1.5%
through 3.0%, the University pays 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR exceeds
3.0%, the University pays actual 30 Day LIBOR less 1.5%.</p>

As of March 31, 2017, no derivative ineffectiveness was
identified. Any ineffectiveness in the University’s
derivative instrument designated as a hedge is reported in interest

University does not expect to reclassify gains or losses on
derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) into earnings during the next 12 months.</p>

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, investments,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued compensation and
benefits and accrued liabilities expenses approximate their fair
value based on the liquidity or the short-term maturities of these
instruments. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair
value as it is based on variable rate index. The carrying value of
capital lease obligations approximate fair value based upon market
interest rates available to the University for debt of similar risk
and maturities. Derivative financial instruments are carried at
fair value, determined using Level 2 of the hierarchy of
valuation inputs, with the use of inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the asset or liability.</p>

The fair value of investments, primarily municipal securities, were
determined using Level 2 of the hierarchy of valuation inputs,
with the use of inputs other than quoted prices that are observable

individual underlying security. The municipal securities are
comprised of city and county bonds related to schools, water and
sewer, utilities, transportation, healthcare and housing.</p>

Net revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from
courses taught by the University online, on ground at its over 260
acre campus in Phoenix, Arizona, and at facilities it leases or
those of employers, as well as from related educational resources
that the University provides to its students, such as access to
online materials. Tuition revenue and most fees from related
educational resources are recognized <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">pro-rata</font> over the applicable period of
instruction, net of scholarships provided by the University. For
the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the
University’s revenue was reduced by approximately $54,653 and
$53,591, respectively, as a result of scholarships that the
University offered to students. The University maintains an
institutional tuition refund policy, which provides for all or a
portion of tuition to be refunded if a student withdraws during
stated refund periods. Certain states in which students reside
impose separate, mandatory refund policies, which override the
University’s policy to the extent in conflict. If a student
withdraws at a time when only a portion, or none of the tuition is
refundable, then in accordance with its revenue recognition policy,
the University continues to recognize the tuition that was not
refunded <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">pro-rata</font> over the applicable period of
instruction. However, for students that have taken out financial
aid to pay their tuition and for which a return of such money to
the Department of Education under Title IV is required as a result
of his or her withdrawal, the University recognizes revenue after a
student withdraws only at the time of cash collection. Sales tax
collected from students is excluded from net revenues. Collected
but unremitted sales tax is included as an accrued liability in the
consolidated balance sheets. The University also charges online
students an upfront learning management fee, which is deferred and
recognized over the average expected term of a student. Costs
that are direct and incremental to new online students are also
deferred and recognized ratably over the average expected term of a
student. Deferred revenue and student deposits in any period
represent the excess of tuition, fees, and other student payments
received as compared to amounts recognized as revenue on the income
statement and are reflected as current liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The University’s
educational programs have starting and ending dates that differ
from its fiscal quarters. Therefore, at the end of each fiscal
quarter, a portion of revenue from these programs is not yet
earned. Other revenues may be recognized as sales occur or services
are performed.</p>

The University records an allowance for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal
of its students to make required payments, which includes the
recovery of financial aid funds advanced to a student for amounts
in excess of the student’s cost of tuition and related fees.
The University determines the adequacy of its allowance for
doubtful accounts based on an analysis of its historical bad debt
experience, current economic trends, the aging of the accounts
receivable and student status. The University applies reserves to
its receivables based upon an estimate of the risk presented by the
age of the receivables and student status. The University writes
off accounts receivable balances at the earlier of the time the
balances were deemed uncollectible, or one year after the revenue
is generated. The University accelerates the write off of inactive
student accounts such that the accounts are written off by day 150.
The University reflects accounts receivable with an offsetting
allowance as long as management believes there is a reasonable
possibility of collection. Bad debt expense is recorded as an
instructional costs and services expense in the consolidated income
statement.</p>

The University evaluates the recoverability of our long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the
assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets.</p>

The University accrues for contingent obligations when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is
reasonably estimable. When the University becomes aware of a claim
or potential claim, the likelihood of any loss exposure is
assessed. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount
of the loss is estimable, the University records a liability for
the estimated loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of
the potential loss is not estimable, the University will disclose
the claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably
possible and the amount of the potential loss could be material.
Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include
tax, legal, and other regulatory matters, which are subject to
change as events evolve, and as additional information becomes
available during the administrative and litigation process. The

In March 2016, the FASB issued “Compensation – Stock
Compensation: Improvement to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting,” to simplify certain aspects of the accounting
for share-based payment transactions to employees. The new standard
requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in
the consolidated statements of income as a component of the
provision for income taxes when stock awards vest or options are
exercised. In addition, it eliminates the requirement to reclassify
cash flows related to excess tax benefits from operating activities
to financing activities on the consolidated statements of cash
flows. The standard also provides an accounting policy election to
account for forfeitures as they occur, allows us to withhold more
of an employee’s vesting shares for tax withholding purposes
without triggering liability accounting, and clarifies that all
cash payments made to tax authorities on an employee’s behalf
for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on
our consolidated cash flows statement.</p>

The University adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of
2017 which required us to reflect any adjustments as of
January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, excess tax benefits or
deficiencies from share-based awards or options are now reflected
in the consolidated statement of income as a component of the
provision for income taxes, whereas previously they were recognized
in equity. The University elected to account for forfeitures as
they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The net
cumulative effect of this change increased additional <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">paid-in</font> capital and decreased retained
earnings as of January 1, 2017 by $59, net of tax. The
University did not have any previously unrecognized excess tax
effects that had not been recorded as a reduction to tax
liability.</p>

The University adopted the provisions of the standard impacting the
cash flow presentation retrospectively, and accordingly, to conform
to the current period presentation, we reclassified $3,495 of
excess tax benefits which had been included as a financing activity
to an operating activity for the three months ended March 31,
2016 in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The presentation
requirement for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for
withheld shares had no impact on our consolidated statement of cash
flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a
financing activity.</p>

Adoption of the provision of the new standard related to income
taxes was adopted prospectively and resulted in a reduction to our
provision for income taxes of $8,524 for the three months ended
March 31, 2017, due to the recognition of excess tax benefits
from restricted stock awards that vested or stock options that were
exercised in 2017. Our restricted stock awards vest in March each
year so the excess tax benefits and deficiencies will primarily
impact the first quarter each year. The inclusion of excess tax
benefits and deficiencies as a component of our income tax expense
will increase volatility within our provision for income taxes as
the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based
compensation awards are dependent on our stock price at the date
the restricted awards vest, our stock price on the date an option
is exercised, and the quantity of options exercised.</p>

In November 2016, the FASB issued a new standard that requires

equivalents to be included in the total of cash and cash
equivalents presented at the bottom of our consolidated statement
of cash flows for both the beginning and ending periods for our

In May 2014, the FASB issued “<i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, as amended.” The standard is a comprehensive
new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be
recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services
to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected
to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The
accounting guidance also requires additional disclosure about the
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows
arising from customer contracts, including significant judgements
and changes in judgements and assets recognized from costs incurred
to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB approved
a <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">one-year</font> delay in the effective date.
The University will adopt this new standard January 1, 2018
using either of two acceptable adoption methods:
(i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period
presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as
defined within the standard; or (ii) adoption with the
cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at
the date of initial application and providing certain additional
disclosure as defined within the standard. Management is in the
diagnostic phase of assessing the financial and business impacts of
implementing, <i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, including identifying revenue sources within the
University and developing a preliminary assessment. The majority of
our revenues are related to tuition due from our
students.    Tuition revenues are
recognized <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">pro-rata</font> over the applicable period of
instruction which the University believes is consistent with the
revenue recognition method required by the new standard. Thus, we
anticipate the adoption of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of
operations. The University is continuing to evaluate the impact the
adoption of this standard will have on our other revenues and fees
in our consolidated financial statements and the method of adoption
to be used. Management expects that there may be some changes as a
result of implementing the new standard.</p>

In January 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Financial Instruments
– Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities</i>.” The standard addresses
certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and
disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the
amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value of
equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized
through net income rather than other comprehensive income
(“OCI”). This standard is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will
have on our consolidated financial statements.</p>

In February 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Leases</i>.” The
standard establishes a <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap"><font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">right-of-use</font></font> (“ROU”) model that
requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on
the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms longer than 12
months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating,
with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in
the income statement. This standard is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach. A modified
retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for
capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after,
the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the
financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.
The University has begun evaluating the impact that the future
adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial
statements and we believe the adoption will slightly increase our
assets and liabilities, and will increase our financial statement
disclosures.</p>

In June 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments</i>”. The new guidance revises the accounting
requirements related to the measurement of credit losses on
financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are
recorded. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years and interim periods
within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2020 using a modified retrospective approach, and we are currently
evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our
consolidated financial statements.</p>

Net revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from
courses taught by the University online, on ground at its over 260
acre campus in Phoenix, Arizona, and at facilities it leases or
those of employers, as well as from related educational resources
that the University provides to its students, such as access to
online materials. Tuition revenue and most fees from related
educational resources are recognized <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">pro-rata</font> over the applicable period of
instruction, net of scholarships provided by the University. For
the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the
University’s revenue was reduced by approximately $54,653 and
$53,591, respectively, as a result of scholarships that the
University offered to students. The University maintains an
institutional tuition refund policy, which provides for all or a
portion of tuition to be refunded if a student withdraws during
stated refund periods. Certain states in which students reside
impose separate, mandatory refund policies, which override the
University’s policy to the extent in conflict. If a student
withdraws at a time when only a portion, or none of the tuition is
refundable, then in accordance with its revenue recognition policy,
the University continues to recognize the tuition that was not
refunded <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">pro-rata</font> over the applicable period of
instruction. However, for students that have taken out financial
aid to pay their tuition and for which a return of such money to
the Department of Education under Title IV is required as a result
of his or her withdrawal, the University recognizes revenue after a
student withdraws only at the time of cash collection. Sales tax
collected from students is excluded from net revenues. Collected
but unremitted sales tax is included as an accrued liability in the
consolidated balance sheets. The University also charges online
students an upfront learning management fee, which is deferred and
recognized over the average expected term of a student. Costs
that are direct and incremental to new online students are also
deferred and recognized ratably over the average expected term of a
student. Deferred revenue and student deposits in any period
represent the excess of tuition, fees, and other student payments
received as compared to amounts recognized as revenue on the income
statement and are reflected as current liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The University’s
educational programs have starting and ending dates that differ
from its fiscal quarters. Therefore, at the end of each fiscal
quarter, a portion of revenue from these programs is not yet
earned. Other revenues may be recognized as sales occur or services
are performed.</p>

The University is subject to extensive regulation by federal and
state governmental agencies and accrediting bodies. In particular,
the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the “Higher
Education Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder
by the Department of Education, subject the University to
significant regulatory scrutiny on the basis of numerous standards
that schools must satisfy in order to participate in the various
federal student financial assistance programs under Title IV of the
Higher Education Act.</p>

To participate in the Title IV programs, an institution must be
authorized to offer its programs of instruction by the relevant
agency of the state in which it is located, accredited by an
accrediting agency recognized by the Department of Education and
certified as eligible by the Department of Education. The
Department of Education will certify an institution to participate
in the Title IV programs only after the institution has
demonstrated compliance with the Higher Education Act and the
Department of Education’s extensive regulations regarding
institutional eligibility. An institution must also demonstrate its
compliance to the Department of Education on an ongoing basis. The
University’s accreditation has been reaffirmed by the Higher
Learning Commission (“HLC”) after a comprehensive
review of the institution’s academic offerings, governance
and administration, mission, finances and resources during
an <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">on-site</font> visit in November
2016. The accreditation was reaffirmed by the HLC’s
Institutional Actions council at its meeting on February 28,
2017 with no requirements for any monitoring or interim
reports. The comprehensive review occurs every 10 years, along
with a <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">mid-term</font> report in year four. As of
March 31, 2017, management believes the University is in
compliance with the applicable regulations in all material
respects.</p>

regulatory infractions, or common law causes of action. While there
can be no assurance that regulatory agencies or third parties will

In March 2016, the FASB issued “Compensation – Stock
Compensation: Improvement to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting,” to simplify certain aspects of the accounting
for share-based payment transactions to employees. The new standard
requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in
the consolidated statements of income as a component of the
provision for income taxes when stock awards vest or options are
exercised. In addition, it eliminates the requirement to reclassify
cash flows related to excess tax benefits from operating activities
to financing activities on the consolidated statements of cash
flows. The standard also provides an accounting policy election to
account for forfeitures as they occur, allows us to withhold more
of an employee’s vesting shares for tax withholding purposes
without triggering liability accounting, and clarifies that all
cash payments made to tax authorities on an employee’s behalf
for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on
our consolidated cash flows statement.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman"; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-STYLE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; MARGIN-TOP: 10pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px">
The University adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of
2017 which required us to reflect any adjustments as of
January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, excess tax benefits or
deficiencies from share-based awards or options are now reflected
in the consolidated statement of income as a component of the
provision for income taxes, whereas previously they were recognized
in equity. The University elected to account for forfeitures as
they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The net
cumulative effect of this change increased additional <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">paid-in</font> capital and decreased retained
earnings as of January 1, 2017 by $59, net of tax. The
University did not have any previously unrecognized excess tax
effects that had not been recorded as a reduction to tax
liability.</p>

The University adopted the provisions of the standard impacting the
cash flow presentation retrospectively, and accordingly, to conform
to the current period presentation, we reclassified $3,495 of
excess tax benefits which had been included as a financing activity
to an operating activity for the three months ended March 31,
2016 in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The presentation
requirement for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for
withheld shares had no impact on our consolidated statement of cash
flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a
financing activity.</p>

Adoption of the provision of the new standard related to income
taxes was adopted prospectively and resulted in a reduction to our
provision for income taxes of $8,524 for the three months ended
March 31, 2017, due to the recognition of excess tax benefits
from restricted stock awards that vested or stock options that were
exercised in 2017. Our restricted stock awards vest in March each
year so the excess tax benefits and deficiencies will primarily
impact the first quarter each year. The inclusion of excess tax
benefits and deficiencies as a component of our income tax expense
will increase volatility within our provision for income taxes as
the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based
compensation awards are dependent on our stock price at the date
the restricted awards vest, our stock price on the date an option
is exercised, and the quantity of options exercised.</p>

In August 2016, the FASB issued a new standard that clarifies how
certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and
classified in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The
University elected to early adopt this guidance in the first
quarter of 2017 on a retrospective basis. There was no
reclassification impact of the adoption on our consolidated
statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
2017 and 2016, as our historical statements have been presented in

In November 2016, the FASB issued a new standard that requires
restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with the amount
of cash and cash equivalents that are reconciled on the
consolidated statement of cash flows. The University elected to
early adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 on a
retrospective basis, and accordingly, to conform to the current
period presentation, we reclassified our restricted cash and cash
equivalents to be included in the total of cash and cash
equivalents presented at the bottom of our consolidated statement
of cash flows for both the beginning and ending periods for our
three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. As a result the
amount of the change in our net cash provided by operating
activities no longer includes the impact of the change in
