_____________________________


(1)	For fiscal year 2015, includes $6.9 million of expense for a non-cash deferred tax valuation allowance related to EEG. For fiscal year 2014, includes $21.2 million of pretax non-cash impairment charges related to EEG for goodwill and fixed and intangible asset impairments.

The other than temporary impairment charges resulted from EEG's significantly lower financial projections in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 due to continued declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability. The full impairment of the investment follows previous non-cash impairment charges, EEG's impairment of goodwill and its establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance in prior quarters. While the Company could be responsible for certain liabilities associated with this venture, the Company does not currently expect them to have a material impact on the Company's financial position.
