PART II – RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
|
o
|
(a) The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
|
|
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
|
|
(c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
|
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Registrant is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 (the “Q1 2015 Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed date of May 11, 2015, because of delays in the completion of its financial statements, footnotes and related disclosures in the Q1 2015 Form 10-Q, which delays could not be eliminated by the Registrant without unreasonable effort and expense. As previously reported, the Registrant engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm during the fourth quarter of 2014. Also as previously reported, the Registrant recently concluded that, beginning on September 30, 2014, it was required to consolidate into its consolidated financial statements the variable interest entity (the “CUSO”) in which the Registrant holds a variable interest in connection with a private education loan program entered into in 2009. Following such conclusion, the Registrant has been working diligently to complete the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The extensive analyses and reviews required by the Registrant related to the consolidation of the CUSO have caused the delays associated with completing the Registrant’s financial statements and related disclosures for those periods. The Registrant recently filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, but has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”).
The Registrant intends to file the 2014 Form 10-K, as well as its Q1 2015 Form 10-Q, as soon as practicable. Due to the uncertainty around the timing of completion of the necessary reviews and analyses, however, the Registrant will not be able to file the Q1 2015 Form 10-Q within the five-day extension period. In addition, on May 12, 2015, a civil complaint was filed against the Registrant, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, alleging violations of various provisions of the federal securities laws. The Registrant is still evaluating the complaint and its potential impact on the timing of the completion of the 2014 Form 10-K and the Q1 2015 Form 10-Q. As a result, the Registrant is not currently able to provide an estimate of the timing of filing of either document.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months
or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). o Yes ý No
The Registrant’s 2014 Form 10-K has not yet been filed, for the same reasons identified above.
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding
period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion thereof? o Yes ý No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
As discussed above, the Registrant has not completed its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and therefore the Registrant does not yet have certainty regarding the significance of any changes in results of operations from the same prior year period. Based on current information and its preliminary assessment, however, the Registrant believes that revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2015 will decrease compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to a 6.8% decrease in total student enrollment as of December 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013, and, to a lesser extent, a 10.4% decrease in total student enrollment as of March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014. The Registrant also believes that its operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same prior year period will decrease more than the projected year-over-year decline in revenue.

The Registrant undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
