Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1.   Description of the Business
 
K12 Inc. and its subsidiaries (K12 or the Company) sell online curriculum and educational books and materials designed for students in grades K-12 and provide management and technology services to virtual public schools. The K12 proprietary curriculum is research-based and combines content with innovative technology to allow students to receive an outstanding education regardless of geographic location or socio-economic background. In contracting with a virtual public school, the Company typically provides students with access to the K12 online curriculum, offline learning kits, and use of a personal computer. As of March 31, 2010, the Company served schools in 25 states and the District of Columbia. The Company expanded into four new states in fiscal year 2010: Wyoming, Oklahoma, Alaska and Virginia. In addition, the Company sells access to its online curriculum and offline learning kits directly to individual consumers.
 
2.   Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 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 March 31, 2010, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the results of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The results of the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2010 or for any other interim period or for any other future fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 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 report on Form 10-K filed on September 14, 2009, which contains the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
 
3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Restricted cash consists of cash held in escrow pursuant to an agreement with a virtual public school that the Company manages and a purchase agreement with an inventory supplier. The Company established an escrow account each for the benefit of the school’s sponsoring school district in the event a future claim is made and for the benefit of one of the Company’s inventory suppliers upon delivery of materials purchased on behalf of the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliated companies in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, or otherwise controls 50% or more of the outstanding voting interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
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. Noncontrolling interest reflects only its share of the after-tax earnings or losses of an affiliated company. Income taxes attributable to noncontrolling interest are determined using the applicable statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions where such operations are conducted. These rates vary from country to country. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects noncontrolling interest within the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet rather than in the mezzanine section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Noncontrolling interest reflected separately within equity is classified separately in the Company’s condensed statements of equity. Net income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows reflects the consolidated earnings of the Company.
 
Retrospective Implementation of New Accounting Standards
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes reflect adjustments required for the retrospective application of a new accounting pronouncement that became effective for the Company on July 1, 2009. ASC Section 810-10-65, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, requires reclassification of the Company’s minority interest to a new noncontrolling interest component of total equity and that the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s operating results be presented as an allocation of the Company’s operating results.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The carrying values reflected in our consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventory and short and long term debt approximate their fair values.
 
Net Income Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes vested restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming conversion or exercise of all dilutive unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and warrants. The dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock awards, and warrants 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 and restricted stock awards 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 stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when they are antidilutive. Common stock outstanding reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes restricted stock awards outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Measuring Liabilities at FairValue (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides amendments to FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, a quoted price for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as an asset, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of FASB ASC 820. This ASU is effective for the first period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance (second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2010). The Company adopted this ASU as of October 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASC Topic 605) which addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration. This guidance requires vendors to develop the best estimate of selling price for each deliverable and to allocate arrangement consideration using this selling price. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update requires the disclosure of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy and to provide a gross presentation of the activities within the Level 3 rollforward. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and are effective for us on January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to present the Level 3 rollforward on a gross basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and is effective for us on July 1, 2011. The Company’s partial adoption on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on our fair value measurement disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the full adoption, with respect to the Level 3 rollforward, will have on our fair value measurement disclosures.

4.   Income taxes
 
The provision for income taxes is based on earnings reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by applying currently enacted tax laws and rates to the expected reversal of the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred income tax expense is measured by the change in the deferred income tax asset or liability during the year.
 
5.   Long-term Obligations
 
Capital Leases
 
As of March 31, 2010, computer equipment and software under capital leases are recorded at a cost of $40.0 million and accumulated depreciation of $20.8 million. The Company has an equipment lease line of credit that expires on August 31, 2010 for new purchases on this line of credit. The interest rate on new purchases under the equipment lease line typically is set quarterly. Borrowings under the equipment lease line have interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 8.8% and include a 36-month payment term with a $1 purchase option at the end of the term. The Company has pledged the assets financed with the equipment lease line to secure the amounts outstanding. The Company is a party to a guaranty agreement with the lessor to guarantee the obligations under this equipment lease and financing agreement.
 
Notes Payable
 
The Company has purchased computer software licenses and maintenance services through notes payable arrangements with various vendors at interest rates ranging up to 6.1% and payment terms of three years. The balance of notes payable at March 31, 2010 was $1.9 million.
 
The following is a summary as of March 31, 2010 of the present value of the net minimum payments on capital leases and notes payable under the Company’s commitments:

Litigation
 
In the ordinary conduct of business, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations and administrative proceedings from time to time. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred. There are currently no claims or actions pending or threatened against the Company.
 
10.   Goodwill
 
During the third quarter of 2010, 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 will not be performed during the third quarter of 2010. The Company will complete its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2010.

Executive Summary
 
We are a technology-based education company. We offer proprietary curriculum and educational services created for online delivery to students in kindergarten through 12th grade, or K-12. Our mission is to maximize a child’s potential by providing access to an engaging and effective education, regardless of geographic location or socio-economic background. Since our inception, we have invested more than $170 million to develop curriculum and an online learning platform that promotes mastery of core concepts and skills for students of all abilities. This learning system combines a cognitive research-based curriculum with an individualized learning approach well suited for virtual schools and other educational applications.
 
We deliver our learning system to students primarily through virtual public schools. We offer virtual public schools our proprietary curriculum, online learning platform and academic and management services, through long-term contracts. Academic and management services can range from targeted programs to complete turnkey solutions. As of March 31, 2010, substantially all of our enrollments were served through virtual public schools located in 25 states and the District of Columbia, including four new states approved for fiscal year 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 versus the same period in the prior year, we increased enrollments in the virtual public schools we serve to 67,560 students from 56,022 students, an increase of 20.6%. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 versus the same period in the prior year, we increased revenues to $96.6 million from $77.2 million, an increase of 25.2%.


13


 

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 85.5% of our enrollments were associated with virtual public schools to which we provide turnkey management services as compared to 85.7% for the same period in the prior year. We are responsible for the complete management of these schools and therefore, we recognize as revenues the funds received by each school, up to the level of costs incurred by the school. These costs are substantial, as they include the cost of teacher compensation and other ancillary school expenses. Accordingly, enrollments in these schools generate substantially more revenues than enrollments in other schools where we provide limited or no management services. For schools where we do not provide turnkey management services, our revenues are limited to direct invoices and are independent of the total funds received by the school from a state or district.
 
Parents can also purchase our curriculum and online learning platform directly to facilitate or supplement their children’s education. Additionally, we have piloted our curriculum in brick and mortar classrooms with promising academic results. We also believe there is additional widespread applicability for our learning system internationally. We operate the K12 International Academy, an online private school which serves students in the U.S. and throughout the world. The school utilizes the same K12 curriculum, systems, and teaching practices as the virtual public schools we serve. The school is accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), AdvancED, and is recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia as a degree granting institution of secondary learning.
 
Executive Management
 
We recently added two new executives to our senior management team. On May 5, 2010, Harry T. Hawks commenced his employment with the Company and will be appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at its regularly scheduled Board meeting on May 20, 2010. Previously, Mr. Hawks served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Hearst Television Inc. On March 22, 2010, Robert L. Moon joined the Company as Chief Information Officer. Mr. Moon previously served as Chief Information Officer at LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. and ViewSonic Corporation.
 
Formulation of Joint Venture
 
In April 2010, one of our subsidiaries entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture with Middlebury College to form a new entity named Middlebury Interactive Languages LLC. Our investment into this joint venture consisted of cash and contributed assets, including substantially all of our foreign languages subsidiary, in return for a 60% ownership interest. Middlebury College’s investment in the joint venture consisted of cash and contributed assets, including a license to use its trademark and a foreign language instruction summer camps business, in return for a 40% ownership interest. The purpose of the joint venture is to create and distribute innovative, high-quality online language courses under the trademark Middlebury and other marks.
 
Discussion of Seasonality
 
Our revenues and operating results normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, principally due to the number of months that the virtual public schools we serve are fully operational and changes in the number of enrollments. We usually experience a seasonal increase in enrollments during August and September, prior to the beginning of our academic year. The seasonal increase is the sum of new enrollments less withdrawals. Students also enroll and withdraw to a lesser extent during the school year. While school administrative offices are generally open year round, a school typically serves students during a ten-month academic year. A school’s academic year will typically start in August or September, our first fiscal quarter, and finish in May or June, our fourth fiscal quarter. Consequently, our first and fourth fiscal quarters may have fewer than three months of full school operations when compared to the second and third fiscal quarters.
 
In the first fiscal quarter, we ship and recognize revenues for materials to students for the beginning of the school year. This generally results in higher revenues from the shipment of materials in the first quarter versus other quarters. In the first and fourth fiscal quarters, online curriculum and computer revenues are generally lower as these revenues are primarily earned during the school academic year which may provide for only one or two months of


14


 

these revenues in these quarters versus the second and third fiscal quarters. The combined effect of these factors results in higher revenues in the first fiscal quarter than in the subsequent quarters.
 
Operating expenses are also seasonal. Instructional costs and services expenses increase in the first fiscal quarter primarily due to the costs incurred to ship student materials at the beginning of the school year. Instructional costs may increase significantly quarter-to-quarter as school operating expenses increase in schools where we offer our complete turnkey solution. For example, enrollment growth will generally require additional teaching staff, thereby increasing salary and benefits expense. School events may be seasonal (e.g. professional development, grant-funded programs, proctored exam related expenses, and community events), impacting the quarterly change in our instructional costs. The majority of our recruiting and selling expenses are incurred in the first and fourth fiscal quarters, as our primary enrollment season is July through September. A significant portion of our overhead expenses does not vary with the school year or enrollment season.
 
Developments in Education Funding
 
Our annual revenue growth is impacted by changes in state or district per enrollment funding levels, which are generally set through the relevant state’s budgetary process. Due to the recession, many states have reduced per enrollment funding for public education affecting many of the virtual public schools we serve. While the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) has provided additional funds to states, it has not fully offset the state funding reductions. Thus, the net impact to funding was negative in many states and had a negative effect on our revenue and income for our third quarter and year-to-date results. Our year-to-date financial results through March 31, 2010 reflect our estimates of annual school revenues and expenses, including ARRA funds, state funding reductions and expense reductions that we undertook in order to mitigate the impact of the funding reductions that have occurred. At this time, many states still have budget issues and the specific level of federal funding for the coming years is not yet known so it is possible we could experience lower per enrollment funding in the future.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting policies are disclosed in our fiscal year 2009 audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report. Other than those described in the condensed consolidated financials, there have been no significant updates to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
 
Revenues.  Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $96.6 million, representing an increase of $19.5 million, or 25.2%, as compared to revenues of $77.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Average enrollments increased 20.6% to 67,560 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 56,022 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in enrollments was primarily attributable to 18.8% enrollment growth in existing states. New school openings in Alaska, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Wyoming contributed approximately 1.8% to enrollment growth. In new and existing states combined, high school enrollments contributed approximately 7.9% to overall enrollment growth and K-8 enrollments contributed approximately 12.7% to overall enrollment growth. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, high school enrollments increased 42.6% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, high school enrollments constituted approximately 22.0% of our enrollments for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 18.6% for the same period in the prior year. K-8 enrollments increased 15.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, K-8 enrollments constituted approximately 78.0% of our enrollments for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 81.4% for the same period in the prior year. Also contributing to the growth in revenues was an increase in grant funding at schools where we provide turnkey management services.
 
Instructional costs and services expenses.  Instructional costs and services expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $56.5 million, representing an increase of $8.6 million, or 17.9% as compared to instructional costs and services expenses of $47.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to a $8.4 million increase in expenses to operate and manage the schools, in addition to a $0.2 million increase in costs to supply curriculum, books, educational materials and computers to students, including depreciation and amortization. As a percentage of revenues, instructional costs and services expenses decreased to 58.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 62.1% for the same period in the prior year. This decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to the lower fulfillment costs for materials and computers, increased productivity at the schools we serve, and leverage of fixed school infrastructure costs. This decrease in expenses was partially offset by an increase in the percentage of high school enrollments relative to total enrollments from 18.6% to 22.0%, as high school enrollments have higher costs as a percentage of revenues due to increased teacher and related services costs.
 
Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses.  Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $26.8 million, representing an increase of $7.4 million, or 37.9%, as compared to selling, administrative and other operating expenses of $19.5 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in personnel costs including benefits, student recruiting costs, and other professional services. As a percentage of revenues, selling, administrative, and other operating expenses increased to 27.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 25.2% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in personnel costs including the expansion of our institutional sales force, student recruiting, and professional services.
 
Product development expenses.  Product development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $2.9 million, representing an increase of $0.5 million, or 21.1 percent as compared to product development expenses of $2.4 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses decreased to 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 3.1% for the same period in the prior year as we were able to leverage these costs over a larger revenue base.
 
Interest expense, net.  Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $0.4 million for both periods. Interest expense was relatively stable as capital lease obligations were relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to same period in the prior year.
 
Income taxes.  Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $3.9 million, or 39.2% of income before income taxes, as compared to an income tax expense of $3.5 million, or 49.5% of income before taxes, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rate is primarily due to state tax credits in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and a timing difference in the treatment of the deferred tax asset allowance related to stock compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Noncontrolling interest.  Noncontrolling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was diminutive. Noncontrolling interest reflects losses attributable to shareholders in our joint venture in the Middle East.
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2009
 
Revenues.  Our revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were $296.1 million, representing an increase of $52.7 million, or 21.7%, as compared to revenues of $243.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Average enrollments increased 21.8% to 67,755 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from 55,647 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in enrollments was primarily attributable to 20.0% enrollment growth in existing states. New school openings in Alaska, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Wyoming contributed approximately 1.8% to enrollment growth. In new and existing states combined, high school enrollments contributed approximately 7.9% to overall enrollment growth and K-8 enrollments contributed approximately 13.9% to overall enrollment growth. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, high school enrollments increased 41.7% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, high school enrollments constituted approximately 22.1% of our enrollments for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 19.0% for the same period in the prior year. K-8 enrollments increased 17.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, K-8 enrollments constituted approximately 77.9% of our enrollments for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 81.0% for the same period in the prior year. Also contributing to the growth in revenues was an increase in grant funding at schools where we provide turnkey management services.
 
Instructional costs and services expenses.  Instructional costs and services expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were $166.2 million, representing an increase of $13.6 million, or 8.9% as compared to instructional costs and services of $152.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to a $16.0 million increase in expenses to operate and manage the schools, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in costs to supply curriculum, books, educational materials and computers to students, including depreciation and amortization. As a percentage of revenues, instructional costs decreased to 56.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 62.7% for the same period in the prior year. This decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to the lower fulfillment costs for materials and computers, increased productivity at the schools we serve, and leverage of fixed school infrastructure costs. This decrease in expenses was partially offset by an increase in the percentage of high school enrollments relative to total enrollments from 19.0% to 22.1%, as high school enrollments have higher costs as a percentage of revenues due to increased teacher and related services costs.
 
Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses.  Selling, administrative, and other operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were $85.1 million, representing an increase of $23.9 million, or 39.0%, as compared to selling, administrative and other operating expenses of $61.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in personnel costs including benefits and stock compensation expense, student recruiting costs, professional services, and litigation settlement costs. As a percentage of revenues, selling, administrative, and other operating expenses increased to 28.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 25.1% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in personnel costs including the expansion of our institutional sales force, student recruiting, and professional services.
 
Product development expenses.  Product development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were $7.6 million, representing an increase of $0.6 million, or 8.0%, as compared to product development expenses of $7.0 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses decreased to 2.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 2.9% for the same period in the prior year as we were able to leverage these costs over a larger revenue base.
 
Interest expense, net.  Net interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.0 million, as compared to a net interest expense of $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Net interest expense increased primarily due to lower interest income as a result of a decline in interest rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to same period in the prior year.
 
Income taxes.  Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $13.7 million, or 37.7% of income before income taxes, as compared to an income tax expense of $9.6 million, or 43.7% of income before taxes, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in rate is primarily attributable to tax credits recognized in

the nine months ended March 31, 2010 for research and development activities in the current and prior periods. Without these credits, income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 would have been $14.9 million or 41.1% of income before taxes.
 
Noncontrolling interest.  Noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.2 million, as compared to noncontrolling interest of $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Noncontrolling interest reflects losses attributable to shareholders in our joint venture in the Middle East.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $66.5 million and $49.5 million, respectively. We financed our capital expenditures during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 primarily through cash flow from operations and capital lease financing.
 
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 expect capital expenditures for additional courses, new releases of existing courses and internal systems enhancements to remain relatively stable for fiscal year 2010 as compared to the prior year and expenditures for computers to support virtual school enrollments to increase proportionately with enrollment growth. We expect to be able to fund these capital expenditures with cash on hand, cash generated from operations and capital lease financing. We lease all of our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. Based on our current operating and capital expenditure forecasts, 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 have begun to explore acquisitions, strategic investments, and joint ventures related to our business that we may acquire using cash, stock, debt or a combination thereof.
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $34.1 million compared to net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 of $8.6 million.
 
The increase in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to our growth in revenues. 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 up front fees, not cash payments. 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 decrease in cash used in inventories is primarily due to lower purchases in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year as we are benefiting from improved inventory efficiencies through our purchasing activities and fulfillment operations. The increase in cash provided by accrued compensation and benefits is primarily due to an increase in accrued incentive compensation, vacation and benefits. The increase in cash used in accrued liabilities is partially due to higher accrued liabilities for one-time items in the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $17.6 million and $22.3 million, respectively.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to investment in capitalized curriculum of $9.3 million, primarily related to the production of high school courses, elementary school math courses, and remedial reading; investment of $7.5 million in property and equipment, including internally developed and purchased software, and cash placed in escrow of $0.8 million.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to investment in capitalized curriculum of $10.7 million, primarily related to the production of high school courses and elementary school math courses, investment of $10.6 million in property and equipment, including internally developed and purchased software, and cash placed in escrow of $1.0 million.

In addition, we financed through capital leases purchases of computers and software primarily for use by students in the amount of $12.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to financed purchases of $16.0 million for the same period in the prior year.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0.6 million and $15.6 million, respectively.
 
For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the exercise of stock options of $6.9 million and the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of $4.2 million, partially offset by payments on capital leases and notes payable of $10.6 million. As of March 31, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding on our $35 million line of credit.
 
For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $7.1 million, proceeds received from the minority interest contribution of $5.0 million, proceeds from notes payable of $3.1 million, and the excess tax benefit from stock compensation expense of $7.1 million. These amounts were partially offset by payments on capital leases and notes payable totaling $6.7 million.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
There were no substantial changes to our guarantee and indemnification obligations in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from those disclosed in our fiscal year 2009 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, 2010 primarily due to approximately $2.6 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, 2010 and June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $66.5 million and $49.5 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.
 
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, 2010, fluctuations in interest rates had no impact on our interest expense.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
 
We currently operate in foreign countries, but we do not transact a material amount of business in a foreign currency and therefore fluctuations in exchange rates will not have a material impact on our financial statements. However, we continue to pursue opportunities in international markets. 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.
