NATIONAL AMERICAN UNIVERSITY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2013 AND FEBRUARY 29, 2012

(Dollar amounts, except share and per share amounts, in thousands)

1.	STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of National American University Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiary, Dlorah, Inc. (“Dlorah”), and its divisions, National American University (“NAU” or the “University”), and Fairway Hills. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company’s audited financial statements and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. As permitted under these rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements which were included in the Company’s 10-K filed on August 3, 2012. Furthermore, the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements include consideration of subsequent events through issuance. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by U.S. GAAP.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” used throughout this document refer to National American University Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Dlorah, Inc.

Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the estimates and assumptions, including those related to bad debts, income taxes and certain accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s common stock is listed as NAUH on The NASDAQ Global Market. The Company, through Dlorah, owns and operates National American University. NAU is a regionally accredited, proprietary, multi-campus institution of higher learning, offering associate, bachelors and master’s degree programs in business-related disciplines, such as accounting, management, business administration and information technology, and in healthcare-related disciplines, such as nursing and healthcare management. Courses are offered through educational sites and online. Operations include educational sites (four of which are pending regulatory approvals—Indianapolis, Indiana, Tigard, Oregon, Houston, Texas and the Rouche Graduate Center in Austin, Texas) located in Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Texas; distance learning service centers in Indiana and Texas; and distance learning operations and central administration offices in Rapid City, South Dakota. A substantial portion of NAU’s academic income is dependent upon federal student financial aid programs, employer tuition assistance, and contracts to provide online course development, hosting and technical assistance to other educational institutions. To maintain eligibility for financial aid programs, NAU must comply with U.S. Department of Education requirements, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios.

-8-

The Company, through Dlorah’s Fairway Hills real estate division, also manages apartment units and develops and sells multi-family residential real estate in the Rapid City, South Dakota area.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, 91% and 94%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues were derived from NAU’s academic revenue.

3.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to National American University Holdings, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur assuming vesting, conversion or exercise of all dilutive unexercised options, warrants and restricted stock.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for the basic and diluted EPS computations:


	Nine months ended				Three months ended
	February 28 and 29,				February 28 and 29,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Numerator:

Incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of restricted shares		4,724		45,167		10,061		51,684

Common shares used to compute diluted net income per share		25,582,767		26,912,008		25,592,903		26,643,880

Diluted net income per common share	$	0.17	$	0.13	$	0.06	$	0.02

-9-

A total of 370,750 shares of common stock subject to issuance upon exercise of stock options for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2013 have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

A total of 247,750 and 236,500 shares of common stock subject to issuance upon exercise of stock options for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

4.	RECENTLY ADOPTED AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires comprehensive income to be reported in either a single statement or in two consecutive statements reporting net income and other comprehensive income. The amendment does not change what items are reported in other comprehensive income or the U.S. GAAP requirement to report reclassification of items from other comprehensive income to net income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which defers the requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. During the deferral, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted these standards retrospectively in the first quarter ended August 31, 2012. As these standards impacted presentation requirements only, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, The FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the reporting of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendment was issued in response to ASU 2011-05 and requires disclosure of the amount, if significant, reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, a cross reference to the related footnote for additional information would be provided. The standard allows the flexibility to present the information either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements provided that all of the required information is presented in a single location. The standard is effective prospectively for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. This standard will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2014 first quarter ending August 31, 2013. As the standard impacts presentation requirements only, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Option and Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may grant restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock options to aid in recruiting and retaining employees, officers, directors and other consultants. Restricted stock awards accrue dividends that are paid when the shares vest. Restricted stock unit awards do not accrue dividends prior to vesting. Grants are issued at prices determined by the compensation committee, generally equal to the closing price of the stock on the date of the grant, vest over various terms (generally three years), and expire ten years from the date of the grant. The Plan allows vesting based upon performance criteria. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Plan). The fair value of stock options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share options issued under the Plan may be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. At February 28, 2013, all stock options issued have been nonqualified stock options. A total of 1,300,000 shares were authorized by the Plan. Shares forfeited or canceled are eligible for reissuance under the Plan. At February 28, 2013, 582,853 shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the Plan.

Restricted stock

The fair value of restricted stock awards was calculated using the Company’s stock price as of the associated grant date, and the expense is accrued ratably over the vesting period of the award.

Compensation expenses associated with restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards totaled ($7) and $60 for the quarters ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively. The reduction in expense for the quarter ended February 28, 2013, was caused by a reversal of previously recorded expense associated with performance based restricted stock grants. At this time it is believed that the required performance objectives will not be achieved for the year. For the year to date periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, compensation associated with restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards totaled $88 and $176, respectively. At February 28, 2013, unamortized compensation cost of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards totaled $181. The unamortized cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years as of February 28, 2013.

A summary of restricted shares activity under the Plan as of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and changes during the nine month periods then ended is presented below:


Restricted Shares	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Stock options

The Company accounts for stock option-based compensation by estimating the fair value of options granted using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company recognizes the expense for grants of stock options on a straight-line basis in the statement of operations as operating expense based on their fair value over the requisite service period.

For stock options issued during the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, the following assumptions were used to determine fair value:


	For the nine months ended February 28 and 29,
Assumptions used:	2013			2012
Expected term (in years)		5.99			6.00
Expected volatility		61.20	%		50.00	%
Weighted average risk free interest rate Weighted average risk free interest rate range		0.85 0.80-0.85	% %		1.22 1.22	% %
Weighted average expected dividend Weighted average expected dividend range		2.87 2.87	% %		1.13 1.13	% %
Weighted average fair value	$	2.01		$	4.56

The volatilities are based on historic volatilities from the traded shares of the Company over the past two and one-half years. The Company has analyzed the forfeitures of stock and option grants and has deemed the effect to be immaterial and therefore did not include a forfeiture rate in the expense calculation. The expected term of options granted is the safe harbor period. The risk-free interest rate for periods matching the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend is based on the historic dividend of the Company.

A summary of option activity under the Plan as of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and changes during the nine month periods then ended is presented below:


Stock Options	Shares			Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life (years)		Aggregate intrinsic value

The Company recorded compensation expense for stock options of $72 and $99 for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, and $201 and $263 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, in the statements of operations. As of February 28, 2013 there was $505 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The unamortized cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years as of February 28, 2013.

The Company plans to issue new shares as settlement of options that are exercised.

From time to time, NAU is a party to various claims, lawsuits or other proceedings relating to the conduct of its business. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some claims, lawsuits or other proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably, management believes, based on facts presently known, that the outcome of such legal proceedings and claims, lawsuits or other proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or future results of operations.

US treasury bills and notes		14,255		—		—		14,255

Total assets at fair value	$	16,086	$	419	$	—	$	16,505

Following is a summary of the valuation techniques for assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis:

CD’s and money market accounts: Investments which have closing prices readily available from an active market are used as being representative of fair value. The Company classifies these investments as level 1. Market prices for certain CD’s are obtained from quoted prices for similar assets. The Company classifies these investments as level 2.

U.S. treasury bills and notes: Closing prices are readily available from active markets and are used as being representative of fair value. The Company classifies these investments as level 1.

Fair value of financial instruments: The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, CD’s and money market accounts, US treasury bills and notes, receivables, payables, and capital lease payables. The carrying values approximated fair values for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and payables because of the short term nature of these instruments. CD’s and money market accounts, and treasury bills and notes are recorded at fair values as indicated in the preceding disclosures.

8.	SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as business areas or lines of an enterprise about which financial information is available and evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision makers, or decision-making groups, in deciding how to allocate capital and other resources to such lines of business.

The Company operates two operating and reportable segments: NAU and other. The NAU segment contains the revenues and expenses associated with the University operations and the allocated portion of corporate overhead. The other segment contains primarily real estate. These operating segments are divisions of the Company for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

General administrative costs of the Company are allocated to specific divisions of the Company.

Background

National American University, or NAU, is a regionally accredited, proprietary, multi-campus institution of higher learning offering associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in business-related disciplines, such as accounting, management, business administration and information technology, and in healthcare-related disciplines, such as nursing and healthcare management. Courses are offered through educational sites as well as online. As of April 5, 2013 operations include 37 locations (three of which are pending regulatory approvals – Tigard, Oregon; Houston, Texas; and the Rouche Graduate Center in Austin, Texas) located in Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Texas; distance learning service centers in Indiana and Texas; and distance learning operations and central administration offices in Rapid City, South Dakota.

As of February 28, 2013, NAU had 2,610 students enrolled in courses at its physical locations only, 6,946 students enrolled in online courses only, and 1,933 students enrolled in a hybrid format taking both online courses and courses at a physical location. NAU supports the instruction of 2,166 additional students at affiliated institutions for which NAU provides online course hosting and technical assistance. NAU provides courseware development, technical support and online class hosting services to various colleges, technical schools and training institutions in the United States and Canada that do not have the capacity to develop and operate their own in-house online curriculum for their students. NAU does not share revenues with these institutions, but rather charges a fee for its services, enabling it to generate additional revenue by leveraging its current online program infrastructure.

The real estate operations consist of apartment facilities, condominiums and other real estate holdings in Rapid City, South Dakota. The real estate operations generated approximately 0.9% of our revenues for the quarter ended February 28, 2013.

Key Financial Results Metrics

Revenue. Revenue is derived mostly from NAU’s operations. For the three months ended February 28, 2013, approximately 92% of our revenue was generated from NAU’s academic revenue, which consists of tuition and fees assessed at the start of each term. The remainder of our revenue comes from NAU’s auxiliary revenue from sources such as NAU’s book sales, and the real estate operations’ rental income and condominium sales. Tuition revenue is reported net of adjustments for refunds and scholarships and is recognized on a daily basis over the length of the term. Upon withdrawal, students generally are refunded tuition based on the uncompleted portion of the term. Auxiliary revenue is recognized when earned.

Factors affecting net revenue include:

•

the number of students who are enrolled and who remain enrolled in courses throughout the term;

•

the number of credit hours per student;

•

the student’s degree and program mix;

•

changes in tuition rates;

-19-

•

the affiliates with which NAU is working as well as the number of students at the affiliates; and

•

the amount of scholarships for which students qualify.

We record unearned tuition for academic services to be provided in future periods. Similarly, we record a tuition receivable for the portion of the tuition that has not been paid. Tuition receivable at the end of any calendar quarter largely represents student tuition due for the prior academic quarter. Based upon past experience and judgment, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to recognize those receivables we anticipated will not be paid. Any uncollected account more than six months past due on students who have left NAU is charged against the allowance. Bad debt expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were 3.4% and 3.4%, respectively.

We define enrollments for a particular reporting period as the number of students registered in a course on the last day of the reporting period. Enrollments are a function of the number of continuing students registered and the number of new enrollments registered during the specified period. Enrollment numbers are offset by inactive students, graduations and withdrawals occurring during the period. Inactive students for a particular period are students who are not registered in a class and, therefore, are not generating net revenue for that period.

We believe the principal factors affecting NAU’s enrollments and net revenue are the number and breadth of the programs being offered; the effectiveness of our marketing, recruiting and retention efforts; the quality of our academic programs and student services; the convenience and flexibility of our online delivery platform; the availability and amount of federal and other funding sources for student financial assistance; and general economic conditions.

The following chart is a summary of our student enrollment on February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, by degree type and by instructional delivery method.


	February 28, 2013 (Winter ‘13 Qtr)		February 29, 2012 (Winter ‘12 Qtr)		% Growth for same quarter over prior year
	Number of Students		Number of Students		% Growth for same quarter over prior year
Graduate		414		392		5.6	%
Undergraduate and Diploma		11,075		10,576		4.7	%

Total		11,489		10,968		4.8	%

On-Campus		2,610		3,286		(20.6	)%
Online		6,946		5,818		19.4	%
Hybrid		1,933		1,864		3.7	%

Total		11,489		10,968		4.8	%

We experienced a 4.8% growth in enrollment in the winter term 2013 over the winter term 2012. This rate of growth was a decrease from our historic enrollment growth rate, which has averaged approximately 11.8% annually since 1998. We believe we have realized a significant, yet steady increase in enrollments since 2005 due to our investment of approximately $53.6 million to expand and develop physical locations and academic programming. In addition, we believe that our strategic plan was critical in obtaining the growth and results of operations that we have seen over the last year.

-20-

We plan to continue expanding and developing our academic programming, opening 1-2 additional physical locations, focus on growth at our 37 existing locations and, potentially, making strategic acquisitions. This growth will be subject to applicable regulatory requirements and market conditions. With these efforts, we anticipate our positive enrollment trends will continue. To the extent the economic downturn has caused enrollment growth, our ability to maintain or increase that portion of our growth will depend on how economic factors are perceived by our target student market in relation to the advantages of pursuing higher education. If current market conditions continue, we believe that the extent to which these enrollment trends will continue will be correlated with the opening of additional physical locations, the number of programs that are developed, the number of programs that are expanded to other locations, and, potentially, the number of locations and programs added through strategic acquisitions. If market conditions decline or if we are unable to open new physical locations, develop or expand academic programming or make strategic acquisitions, whether as a result of regulatory limitations or other factors, our growth rate will likely decline.

Expenses. Expenses consist of cost of educational services, selling, general and administrative, auxiliary expenses, the cost of condominium sales, and the gain/loss on disposition of property and equipment. Cost of educational services expenses contains expenditures attributable to the educational activity of NAU. This expense category includes salaries and benefits of faculty and academic administrators, costs of educational supplies, faculty reference and support material and related academic costs, and facility costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the salaries of the learner services positions (and other expenses related to support of students), salaries and benefits of admissions staff, marketing expenditures, salaries of other support and leadership services (including finance, human resources, compliance and other corporate functions), legal expenses, expenses related to expansion and development of academic programs and physical locations, as well as depreciation, bad debt expenses and other related costs associated with student support functions. Auxiliary expenses include expenses for the cost of goods sold, including costs associated with books and clothing. The cost of condominium sales is the expense related to condominiums that are sold during the reporting period. The gain/loss on disposition of property and equipment expense records the remaining book value of assets that are no longer used by us.

Factors affecting comparability

Set forth below are selected factors we believe have had, or which we expect to have, a significant effect on the comparability of our recent or future results of operations:

Introduction of new programs and specializations. We plan to develop additional degree and diploma programs and specializations over the next several years, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. When introducing new programs and specializations, we invest in curriculum development, support infrastructure and marketing research. Revenues associated with these new programs are dependent upon enrollments, which are lower during the periods of introduction. During this period of introduction and development, the rate of growth in revenues and operating income has been, and may be, adversely affected, in part, due to these factors. Historically, as the new programs and specializations develop, increases in enrollment are realized, cost-effective delivery of instructional and support services are achieved, economies of scale are recognized and more efficient marketing and promotional processes are gained.

Introduction of new physical locations. We plan to develop additional physical locations over the next several years, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. When opening new locations, we invest significant funds in expenses related to opening new locations without the immediate impact of revenue to offset these expenses. Included in the expenses are depreciation related to capital funds for equipment and build-outs as well as operating funds for staff salaries and marketing dollars. These expenses will negatively impact the operating margin in the short-term with anticipated long-term gains due to the increased revenues.

-21-

Stock-based compensation. We expect to incur increased non-cash, stock based compensation expense in connection with existing and future issuances under our 2009 Stock Option and Compensation Plan or other equity incentive plans.

Seasonality. Our operations are generally subject to seasonal trends. While we enroll students throughout the year, summer and winter quarter new enrollments and revenue are generally lower than enrollments and revenue in other quarters due to the traditional custom of summer breaks and the holiday break in December and January. In addition, we generally experience an increase in enrollments in the fall of each year when most students seek to begin their post-secondary education.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2013, our total revenue was $96 million, an increase of $10.2 million or 11.9%, as compared to total revenue of $85.8 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to the execution of our strategic growth plan which resulted in an average enrollment increase of 7.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 over the same period in 2012 and an increase in auxiliary revenue due to a change in the way we sell books and the move to an online book vendor. The average enrollment increase is comprised of 10.2% during the summer quarter, 7.2% during the fall quarter and 4.8% during the winter. The enrollment increases were driven by management’s execution of our strategic plan which detailed our investment in new programs, expansion of existing programs to new markets and an improved enrollment management system which monitors and improves our recruitment processes. Our revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 consisted of $95.2 million from our NAU operations and $0.8 million from our other operations.

Total operating expenses were $88.3 million or 91.9% of total revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2013, which is an increase of $8.8 million compared to the same period in 2012. Income from operations was $7.8 million or 8.1% of total revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2013, which is an increase of $1.4 million compared to the same period in 2012. Net income attributable to the Company was $4.3 million or 4.5% of total revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 as compared to $3.5 million or 4.1% of total revenue for the nine months ended February 29, 2012.

Total revenue. The total revenue for NAU for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 was $95.2 million, an increase of $10.2 million or 12.0%, as compared to total revenue of $85.0 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to the average enrollment increase of 7.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 over the same period in 2012 and an increase in auxiliary revenue due to a change in the way we sell books and the move to an online book vendor. The average enrollment increase is comprised of 10.2% during the summer quarter, 7.2% during the fall quarter and 4.8% during the winter. In addition, the increase is due to a board approved tuition increase of 5.4% that became effective September 2012. We believe that NAU’s well-defined strategic plan continues to contribute to the increase in the revenues.

The academic revenue for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 was $87.5 million, an increase of $6.9 million or 8.5%, as compared to academic revenue of $80.7 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to the enrollment increase over the prior year. The auxiliary revenue was $7.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million or 77.3%, as compared to auxiliary revenue of $4.3 million for the same period in 2012. This increase in auxiliary revenue was primarily driven by increased enrollment growth and the implementation of a new online bookstore vendor resulting in a change in the book selling process.

Cost of educational services. The educational services expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 1.0 percentage points for the nine months ended February 28, 2013, to 22.8%, as compared to 23.8% for the same period in 2012. This decrease was a result of fixed costs such as facility expenses on an increasing revenue base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 2.6 percentage points for the nine months ended February 28, 2013, to 63.2%, as compared to 65.8% for the same period in 2012. The selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 were $60.2 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 7.6%, as compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $55.9 million for the same period in 2012. Included in these numbers are the additional staffing and institutional support to bring the developmental campuses online which is required to ensure the operation of these new locations and to support the quality of our academic programs. As these locations mature and the revenue base grows, the costs associated with these locations will continue to see improvement as a percentage of revenue. In addition, the university is self-insured and experienced health insurance claims of $0.7 million higher than the same period of the previous year.

Auxiliary. Auxiliary expenses for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 were $5.0 million, an increase of $2.9 million as compared to auxiliary expenses of $2.1 million for the same period in 2012. As discussed above auxiliary expenses increased due to the implementation of a new online bookstore vendor.

-24-

Income before non-controlling interest and taxes. The income before non-controlling interest and taxes for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 was $7.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 16.1%, as compared to $6.5 for the same period in 2012. This increase is discussed above in more detail.

For the three months ended February 28, 2013, our total revenue was $32.1 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 7.1%, as compared to total revenue of $29.9 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to the enrollment increase of 4.8% during the winter quarter 2013 over the winter quarter 2012 and an increase in auxiliary revenue due to a change in the online bookstore vendor and the way in which books are sold to the students. Our revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2013 consisted of $31.8 million from our NAU operations and $0.3 million from our other operations. Total operating expenses were $29.1 million or 90.9% of total revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2013, which is an increase of $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2012. Income from operations was $2.9 million or 9.1% of total revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2013, which is an increase of $1.6 million compared to the same period in 2012. Net income attributable to the Company was $1.6 million or 5.0% of total revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2013, an increase of 208.1%, compared to the same period in 2012. The enrollment increases were driven by management’s execution of our strategic plan which detailed our investment in new programs, expansion of existing programs to new markets and an improved enrollment management system of monitoring and improving our recruitment processes. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million as a result of continued process improvements and cost containment measures. The additional details regarding these variances are described in greater detail below.

Total revenue. The total revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2013 was $31.8 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 7.1%, as compared to total revenue of $29.7 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was driven by our 4.8% enrollment increase during the winter quarter 2013 over the winter quarter 2012 and increased auxiliary revenue due to higher bookstore sales.

The academic revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2013 was $29.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 4.2%, as compared to academic revenue of $28.4 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to the enrollment increase over the prior year driven by our strategic plan and management’s execution of the plan. The auxiliary revenue was $2.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 70.0%, as compared to auxiliary revenue of $1.3 million for the same period in 2012. This increase in auxiliary revenue was primarily driven by increased enrollment growth and the implementation of a new online bookstore vendor and a change in the book selling process.

Cost of educational services. The educational services expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 1.2 percentage points for the three months ended February 28, 2013, to 22.2%, as compared to 23.4% for the same period in 2012. This decrease was a result of economies of scale and efficiencies gained with the expansion of our physical footprint. The educational services expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2013 were $7.0 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.3% as compared to educational expenses of $7.0 million for the same period in 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 5.7 percentage points for the three months ended February 28, 2013, to 63.8%, as compared to 69.5% for the same period in 2012. The selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2013 were $20.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 1.8%, as compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $20.6 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily attributed to the alignment of marketing costs to revenue however, we anticipate additional expenses due to the hiring of additional admissions advisors and the launch of the five new doctoral-level course offerings this spring term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. At February 28, 2013, and May 31, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $33.1 million and $30.6 million, respectively. Consistent with our cash management plan and investment philosophy, a portion of the excess cash was invested in United States securities directly or through money market funds, as well as in bank deposits and certificates of deposit. Of the amounts listed above, the marketable securities at February 28, 2013 and May 31, 2012 were $10.9 million and $14.9 million, respectively.

We maintain one line of credit to support ongoing operations. This line of credit is available to support timing differences between inflows and outflows of cash. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 ended February 28, 2013, the line of credit was not utilized. We retain this $3.0 million revolving line of credit with Great Western Bank. Advances under the line bear interest at a variable rate based on prime and are unsecured. There were no advances outstanding against this line at February 28, 2013 and May 31, 2012.

Based on our current operations and anticipated growth, the cash flows from operations and other sources of liquidity are anticipated to provide adequate funds for ongoing operations and planned capital expenditures for the near future. These expenditures include our plans for continued expansion and development of new programming and growth of our affiliate relationships. Our current focus is to fit expenditures with enrollment patterns. Also, we believe that we are positioned to further supplement our liquidity with debt, if needed.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $13.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively. This increase is due to a $0.8 million increase in net income, a decrease of $5.9 million in accounts receivable and an increase in non-cash items related primarily to a $1.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $0.3 million increase in provision for uncollectable tuition and $0.7 million increase in deferred income taxes. This is offset by a $4.6 million decrease in accounts payable and other long-term liabilities.

-27-

Investing Activities. Net cash used by investing activities was $3.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to the net cash used by investing activities of $5.4 million for the nine months ended February 29, 2012. The decrease in the cash used by investing activities was primarily related to the decrease in purchases of property and equipment of $1.5 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended February 29, 2012.

Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities was $2.9 million and $8.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 respectively. The decrease of $5.7 million is primarily due to the repurchase of stock in fiscal year 2012 for $6.1 million. There were minimal stock repurchases in fiscal year 2013.

Contractual Obligations. As part of our ongoing operations, we entered into an arrangement for additional space that houses the Corporate headquarters, distance learning operations, and the Rapid City campus operations that obligates us to make future payments under a capital lease obligation, which totaled $23.8 million, or a net present value of $10.5 million as of February 28, 2013 and was recognized as current and non-current capital lease payable of $0.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively, and was included in net property, plant and equipment in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following is a schedule of future minimum commitments for the Company’s capital lease as of February 28, 2013:


($ in thousands)	Capital Leases
2013	$	265
2014		1,071
2015		1,092
2016		1,115
2017		1,137
Thereafter		19,151

Total future minimum lease obligation	$	23,831
Less: Imputed interest on capital leases		(13,359	)

Net present value of lease obligations	$	10,472

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than operating leases, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

-28-

Impact of Inflation

The Company believes inflation has had a minimal impact on results of operations for the nine month period ended February 28, 2013. We also increase tuition (usually once a year) to assist offsetting inflationary impacts without creating a hardship for students. Consistent with the Company’s operating plan, a yearly salary increase in December (supported by evaluations and recommendations from supervisors) is considered to help alleviate the inflationary effects on staff. There can be no assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on operating results and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk. We have no derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. Cash in excess of current operating requirements is invested in short-term certificates of deposit and money market instruments.

Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is managed by investing excess funds in cash equivalents and marketable securities bearing variable interest rates tied to various market indices. As such, future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or losses in principal may occur if securities are forced to be sold which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. At February 28, 2013, a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on future earnings, fair values or cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third fiscal quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be a party to various claims, lawsuits or other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not at this time, a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

If we do not comply with the Department of Education’s “administrative capability” standards, we could suffer financial penalties, be required to accept other limitations to continue participating in Title IV programs or lose our eligibility to participate in Title IV programs.

Department of Education regulations specify extensive criteria an institution must satisfy to establish that it has the requisite “administrative capability” to participate in Title IV programs. These criteria require, among other things, that we comply with all applicable Title IV program regulations. If an institution fails to satisfy any of the administrative capability criteria or comply with any other Department of Education regulations, the Department of Education may require the institution to repay Title IV program funds, require the institution to repay Title IV program funds, transfer the institution from the “advance” system of payment of Title IV program funds to cash monitoring status or to the “reimbursement” system of payment, place the institution on provisional certification status, or commence a proceeding to impose a fine or to limit, suspend or terminate the participation of the institution in Title IV programs. By letter dated February 4, 2013, the Department of Education advised NAU that it was improperly limiting the amount of Title IV loan funds that students may receive in a given academic period based on students’ remaining maximum Title IV loan eligibility. The Department of Education requested that NAU respond to the letter and, among other things, revise its financial aid award letter to allow a student to borrow the maximum eligible amount, the recommended amount or an alternative amount, to provide all currently enrolled students the option of receiving additional Title IV loan funds for which the student qualified, and to revise certain of its policies and practices regarding the availability of Title IV loan funds. NAU is cooperating with the Department of Education’s requests. If we were found not to have satisfied the Department of Education’s “administrative capability” requirements or to comply with any other Department of Education regulations, we could be limited in our access to, or lose, Title IV program funding, which could significantly reduce our enrollments and have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In December 2007, we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File No. 333-143098) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 26, 2007. In connection with the transaction with Dlorah on November 23, 2009, we used $3.3 million of the proceeds from our IPO to redeem all of the outstanding warrants that were publicly traded immediately before the consummation of the Dlorah transaction, and $3.7 million of our proceeds from the IPO to buyout an employment agreement and legal, accounting, filing, and insurance fees associated with being a public entity.

We have used and intend to use the remaining net proceeds from the IPO for general corporate purposes and growth initiatives, including expansion of educational sites.
