Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Dominica Management, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of New York in December 1997 and began operations on January 1, 1998. The Company provides a variety of managerial and administrative services to Ross University School of Medicine (the “Medical School”) and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (the “Veterinary School”) for a predetermined fee.

The Medical School was founded in 1978 and is a proprietary institution of higher learning that confers a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree upon completion of a ten-semester program of instruction. The Medical School is a foreign corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica and is located in Portsmouth, Dominica in the West Indies.

The Veterinary School was founded in 1982 and is a proprietary institution of higher learning that confers a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree upon completion of a ten-semester program of instruction. The Veterinary School is a foreign corporation organized under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher Nevis and is located near Basseterre, St. Kitts in the West Indies.

The basic sciences curricula of the Medical School and the Veterinary School (collectively, the “Universities”) are taught on their respective Caribbean island, while the clinical programs of the Universities are primarily conducted at affiliated and other U.S. teaching hospitals and veterinary schools. The Universities are accredited by accrediting bodies in the jurisdictions in which they are located.

2. Interim Financial Statements

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets when conditions and/or events indicate that impairment may be present. This evaluation consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the assets with the assets’ expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest costs when conditions and/or events indicate that impairment may be present. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. Impairment, if any, is recognized in the period of identification to the extent the carrying amount of an asset exceeds discounted net cash flows attributable to such asset. No impairments were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

Tuition Revenues

The Company’s basic sciences semesters run for fifteen weeks and begin in January, May and September. The Company’s clinical rotation semesters begin at various times throughout the year based on the timing of the students’ completion of basic science semesters and the availability of clinical rotation spots. Tuition revenue is deferred at the time of billing and is recognized as income, net of any refunds or withdrawals, ratably throughout each respective semester. Advance tuition billings and payments for the next semester are shown as unearned tuition.

If a student withdraws from school before completing over 60% of the semester, the amount of any Title IV loan the student received for the period is recalculated to reflect the portion of the semester that the student has completed. The unearned portion of the Title IV loan corresponding to the period not completed is returned to the Title IV lender. Student deposits, which are typically required to hold a position in a first semester class, are usually received in advance of tuition billing. When tuition is billed, the deposit is applied against the resulting receivable.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Comprehensive Income

The Company’s only item that previously met the definition for adjustment to arrive at Comprehensive Income related to the fair value adjustment of interest rate swap agreements in effect for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Company is no longer required to maintain an interest rate swap agreement; thus, there is no adjustment to Comprehensive Income required for the period ended March 31, 2003.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and amount to approximately $203,000 and $187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method used on reported results. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued

ending after December 15, 2002. The reported results for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were not significantly affected by the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

4. Property and Equipment

The composition of property and equipment is as follows (in thousands):

    March 31,
2003
2002
Land $     343 $     343
Buildings and leasehold improvements 12,703 9,770
Land and buildings under capital lease 476 476
Furniture and fixtures 1,720 1,203
Office and computer equipment 8,511 7,576
Construction in progress 3,309 3,369


27,062 22,737
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 8,206 6,725


$18,856 $16,012


Depreciation and amortization amounted to approximately $429,000 and $358,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In 1994, the Medical School sold substantially all of the land and buildings it owned at that time on Dominica in the West Indies under a sale-leaseback agreement accounted for as a financing arrangement. The lease has been classified as a capital lease in accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. The Medical School received consideration of approximately $2.1 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of $595,000, which is being recognized over the term of the related capital lease, which runs through the year 2043. The Medical School recognized approximately $3,000 of this gain for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2003. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital lease amounted to $88,000 and $79,000 as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Federal Financial Assistance Programs

The Universities participate in various federal student financial assistance programs. These programs, which are for the benefit of the students who attend the Universities, have strict requirements for participation. The Medical and Veterinary Schools are subject to reviews and audits of these requirements. Specific areas of review include student program eligibility, coordination of financial aid programs and other matters. Management believes that the potential effects of audit adjustments, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Universities’ financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Commitments

In consideration for mutual covenants with the Federation of St. Christopher Nevis, the Veterinary School is required to pay an annual fee of $70,000 beginning in 1996 and $50,000 beginning in 2001 through the term of the agreement, which expires in 2023.

In consideration for its students’ use of the facilities at Princess Margaret Hospital in Dominica, the Medical School is required to pay an annual fee of $40,000. This agreement is mutually renewable on a year to year basis.

In consideration of the University’s environmental impact on the Island of Dominica, the Medical School is required to pay an annual fee of $100,000 beginning in 1999.

6. Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company provided a variety of managerial and administrative services to the Medical School totaling $217,000 and $218,000, respectively, and to the Veterinary School totaling $104,000 and $79,000, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company paid $77,000 in each of the quarters in management fees to its common stockholders for providing managerial oversight, personnel recruitment and selection and other services.

7. Capital Stock

The Company’s capital stock consists of common stock, cumulative preferred stock A, and cumulative, mandatorily redeemable preferred stock B. Holders of common stock have one vote per share; holders of preferred stock A and B have no voting rights.

The Company may, at any time, redeem all or any portion of the shares of preferred stock A then outstanding at $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Dividends on preferred stock A accrue at the rate of 8.00% and are payable when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. At March 31, 2003 and 2002, cumulative dividends of $10,588,000 and $6,718,000, respectively, have accumulated on preferred stock A. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, no dividends on preferred stock A were declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

All outstanding shares of preferred stock B are mandatorily redeemable by the Company on April 13, 2020 at $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Dividends on preferred stock B accrue at the rate of 8.00% whether or not they have been declared by the Board of Directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, accrued dividends on preferred stock B of $612,000 and $565,000, respectively, were charged against accumulated deficit. Preferred stock B is presented at redemption value, including cumulative accrued dividends of $6,624,000 and $4,216,000 at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

8. Subsequent Events

On March 18, 2003, litigation between one of the Company’s stockholders and an unaffiliated third-party individual was settled. The Company was not a named defendant. The litigation related to the recapitalization of the Company in 2000 and compensation allegedly due pursuant to a finder’s fee letter. Under the terms of the settlement, $1,000,000 was to be paid to the plaintiff and the Company was released from any future claims. The Company, on March 14, 2003, authorized the payment of the settlement and other expenses because, had a finder’s fee been due, the Company would have paid such fee. The settlement and legal expenses incurred in 2003 aggregated to approximately $1,310,000 and were included in the Company’s operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002.

On March 19, 2003, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement under which DeVry, Inc. will acquire for approximately $310 million of cash, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common and preferred shares and all outstanding stock options on its common stock. This transaction to closed on May 16, 2003.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dominica Management, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Dominica Management, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ (deficiency) equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dominica Management, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Dominica Management, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2002

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Dominica Management, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of New York in December 1997 and began operations on January 1, 1998. The Company provides a variety of managerial and administrative services to Ross University School of Medicine (the “Medical School”) and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (the “Veterinary School”) for a predetermined fee.

The Medical School was founded in 1978 and is a proprietary institution of higher learning that confers a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree upon completion of a ten-semester program of instruction. The Medical School is a foreign corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica and is located in Portsmouth, Dominica in the West Indies.

The Veterinary School was founded in 1982 and is a proprietary institution of higher learning that confers a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree upon completion of a ten-semester program of instruction. The Veterinary School is a foreign corporation organized under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher Nevis and is located near Basseterre, St. Kitts in the West Indies.

The basic sciences curricula of the Medical School and the Veterinary School (collectively, the “Universities”) are taught on their respective Caribbean island, while the clinical programs of the Universities are primarily conducted at affiliated and other U.S. teaching hospitals and veterinary schools. The Universities are accredited by accrediting bodies in the jurisdictions in which they are located.

Prior to April 13, 2000, the Medical School, the Veterinary School and the Company were entities 100% owned by a sole stockholder. On April 13, 2000, the sole stockholder and a group of investors entered into a recapitalization agreement under which the following events took place:

The sole stockholder contributed his shares of common stock in the Medical School and Veterinary School to the Company. This transaction was a transfer between entities under common control and was recorded by the Company at the stockholder’s historical carrying values in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Medical School and Veterinary School became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning with the full year ended December 31, 2000.

Dominica Management, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. Organization and Nature of Operations (continued)

The Company was recapitalized (the “Recapitalization”), increasing the authorized number of shares of common stock and authorizing the issuance of two classes of non-voting preferred stock. In connection with the Recapitalization, the one outstanding common share of the Company was split into 100,100,000 shares of common stock.
The investors acquired shares of the Company’s voting common stock and non-voting preferred stock A for total cash of $40 million.
The Company redeemed 100,000,000 shares of the sole stockholder’s common stock for cash of $100 million and the issuance of all $25 million of the Company’s non-voting preferred stock B. The proceeds from the sale of stock to the investors and the proceeds from a credit agreement (See Note 5) were used to fund the redemption.
On January 5, 2001, the Company effected a reorganization in which the Medical and Veterinary Schools became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Ross University Management, Inc., a foreign corporation organized under the laws of St. Lucia. Ross University Management, Inc. is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with this reorganization and obtaining the approval of the U.S. Department of Education, the Company incurred $581,000 of costs which were expensed during 2001.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Universities and all other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating cash, cash invested in short-term certificates of deposit and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Dominica Management, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash — EFT Escrow

The U.S. Department of Education requires that Title IV Program loan funds collected in excess of amounts due for tuition be maintained in a separate cash or cash equivalent account until such amounts can be remitted to students.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality credit institutions. At times cash and cash equivalent balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents.

Tuition receivables are not collateralized, however, credit risk is minimized as a result of the diverse nature of the Universities’ student base and the fact that the majority of students receive federal financial aid from the U.S. Department of Education. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful tuition accounts based upon factors surrounding historical trends and other information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, tuition receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of those instruments. Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 35 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Leased property meeting certain criteria is capitalized and the present value of the related lease payments is recorded as a liability. Amortization of capitalized leased assets is computed on the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the life of the related asset, whichever is shorter.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets when conditions and/or events indicate that impairment may be present. This evaluation consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the assets with the assets’ expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest costs when conditions and/or events indicate that impairment may be present. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. Impairment, if any, is recognized in the period of identification to the extent the carrying amount of an asset exceeds discounted net cash flows attributable to such asset. No impairments were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Tuition Revenues

The Company’s basic sciences semesters run for fifteen weeks and begin in January, May and September. The Company’s clinical rotation semesters begin at various times throughout the year based on the timing of the students’ completion of basic science semesters and the availability of clinical rotation spots. Tuition revenue is deferred at the time of billing and is recognized as income, net of any refunds or withdrawals, ratably throughout each respective semester. Advance tuition billings and payments for the next semester are shown as unearned tuition. Advance tuition billings for each of the semesters beginning January 2003 and 2002 were $19.8 million and $17.6 million, respectively, and are included in unearned tuition and in tuition receivables, net of payments received through the end of each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

If a student withdraws from school before completing over 60% of the semester, the amount of any Title IV loan the student received for the period is recalculated to reflect the portion of the semester that the student has completed. The unearned portion of the Title IV loan corresponding to the period not completed is returned to the Title IV lender. Student deposits, which are typically required to hold a position in a first semester class, are usually received in advance of tuition billing. When tuition is billed, the deposit is applied against the resulting receivable.

Dominica Management, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, which requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and amount to approximately $647,000 and $940,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” using an intrinsic value approach to measure compensation expense, if any. Appropriate disclosures using a fair-value-based method, as provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), are also reflected in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

The following table summarizes relevant information as to reported results under the Company’s intrinsic value method of accounting for stock awards, with supplemental information as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been applied for the following years (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent

Depreciation and amortization amounted to approximately $1,508,000 and $1,266,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

In 1994, the Medical School sold substantially all of the land and buildings it owned at that time on Dominica in the West Indies under a sale-leaseback agreement accounted for as a financing arrangement. The lease has been classified as a capital lease in accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. The Medical School received consideration of approximately $2.1 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of $595,000, which is being recognized over the term of the related capital lease, which runs through the year 2043. The Medical School recognized approximately $12,000 of this gain for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital lease amounted to $86,000 and $76,000 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

5. Credit Agreement

In connection with the Recapitalization described in Note 1, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a consortium of banks providing for an aggregate credit amount of up to $90,000,000. The agreement is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. All amounts outstanding under the credit agreement are payable on or before March 31, 2006. The Company incurred approximately $1.48 million in fees associated with entering into the credit agreement. The fees are amortized over the term of the credit agreement. Accumulated amortization of the fees amounted to $877,000 and $533,000 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The credit agreement has three components: Tranche A, Tranche B, and Revolver. At the Company’s election, borrowings under the credit agreement may either be a Eurodollar loan (bearing interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.00%) or a Base Rate loan (bearing interest at prime plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.00%). Interest is payable at the end of the interest period which is elected by the Company when a borrowing is made under the credit agreement.

Dominica Management, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

5. Credit Agreement (continued)

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the borrowings under Tranche A and Tranche B components were Eurodollar loans, bearing interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75% and 3.25% in 2002 and 3.25% and 4.00% in 2001 (4.17% and 4.67% in 2002, 5.18% and 5.93% in 2001), respectively; borrowings under the Revolver were Base Rate loans bearing interest at prime plus a margin of 2.75% (6.00% in 2002 and 7.00% in 2001). Interest was payable at the end of the loan period on all outstanding amounts under each component. The weighted average interest rates for 2002 and 2001 were 8.6% and 9.7%, respectively.

In accordance with the credit agreement, a substantial portion of the available borrowing was used to redeem the shares of common stock of the Company previously owned by the sole stockholder. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, $32 million and $29 million, respectively, of the Revolver component are available to the Company. Of this amount, $20 million is available to the Company if required under U. S. Department of Education Title IV regulatory requirements, and the balance is available for operations.

Scheduled principal payments of the amounts (in thousands) outstanding as of December 31, 2002 under each component of the credit agreement are as follows:

The Company is in compliance with these covenants.

The fair values of the amounts outstanding under the credit agreement, determined using cash flows discounted at market rates at the balance sheet dates, are estimated to be $37.1 million and $53.0 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

5. Credit Agreement (continued)

In accordance with the credit agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 13, 2000 with one of the banks in the consortium. The interest rate swap was for a two-year period, which ended on December 13, 2002, with a notional amount of $27.5 million. (See Note 6.)

6. Interest Rate Swap

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a two year term on December 13, 2000 to convert $27.5 million of its variable rate debt under its credit agreement (See Note 5) to a fixed rate of 6.74%. The interest rate swap is used to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by the volatility of LIBOR, which is the index rate upon which the Tranche A and Tranche B components of its credit agreement are based. Interest rate fluctuations create an unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the market value of the Company’s debt when compared with its cost.

The Company’s adoption of SFAS 133, as amended, on January 1, 2001 resulted in the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $549,000 being recognized as a liability and a charge in other comprehensive income for the negative fair value of the swap at such date. The negative fair value of the swap at December 31, 2001 was $1,245,000, resulting in an additional charge in other comprehensive income during 2001 of $696,000. In December 2002, the agreement expired and the Company charged operations and reversed the $1,245,000 from comprehensive income with the termination on December 13, 2002 of the interest rate swap agreement. The Company is no longer required to maintain an interest rate swap agreement as of December 31, 2002.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Federal Financial Assistance Programs

The Universities participate in various federal student financial assistance programs. These programs, which are for the benefit of the students who attend the Universities, have strict requirements for participation. The Medical and Veterinary Schools are subject to reviews and audits of these requirements. Specific areas of review include student program eligibility, coordination of financial aid programs and other matters. Management believes that the potential effects of audit adjustments, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Universities’ financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8. Employee Savings Plan

The Company has established an employee 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, only employees of Dominica Management, Inc. are allowed to participate, subject to certain service requirements. The Company matches 100% of the first 5% (effective September 2001 and 50% of employees’ contributions up to 4% prior) of employees’ contributions. The Company’s contribution vests over a five-year period. The Company’s contribution to the Plan amounted to approximately $208,000 and $111,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

9. Stock Incentive Plan

On August 29, 2000, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has sole responsibility and authority for the interpretation and administration of the Plan including the selection of the employees or individuals to receive awards, the size and terms of the awards, the timing of the awards and the duration of vesting and exercise. The Plan is available to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, certain independent consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Plan provides for the award of a broad variety of stock-based compensation alternatives such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, and performance awards. The Company has made available under the Plan 127,500 shares of its common stock and 1,955 shares of its preferred stock A. The maximum number of shares of common and preferred stock that may be granted to any individual participant is 110,000 and 1,000 shares, respectively. Awards under the Plan are exercisable at such prices and during such periods and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Stock options are exercisable at prices that can range from 85% to 110% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant and may be exercisable up to ten years from the date of grant.

On August 29, 2000, the Committee granted 80,000 stock options on shares of its common stock to a key employee of the Company with an exercise price of $1 per option, which was the fair market value on the date of grant. Of the 80,000 options granted, 60,000 vest evenly over a four-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The remaining 20,000 options granted vest upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company or on the twentieth trading day after the stock becomes publicly traded, subject to continued employment.

9. Stock Incentive Plan (continued)

The Committee granted stock options on 3,500 shares of its common stock in 2002 and 32,600 shares of its common stock in 2001, to certain key employees and outside directors at exercise prices ranging from $25 to $32 in 2002 and at $2 per option in 2001, which were the fair market value on the dates of the grant. These options have vesting periods ranging from four to ten years. However, these options may vest sooner based on the occurrence of events mentioned above or upon the Company meeting or exceeding certain performance standards.

Outstanding options on common shares at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were 96,288 and 112,100 shares, respectively. The weighted-average price of the outstanding options at December 31, 2002 and 2001, was $2.38 and $1.30, respectively. Options on 2,250 shares and 500 shares were canceled during 2002 and 2001, respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, options on 20,775 and 15,000 shares, respectively, of common stock were exercisable. Options on 17,062 shares were exercised in 2002; none was exercised or exercisable in 2001.

As of December 31, 2002, there were 14,150 shares of common stock and 1,955 shares of preferred stock A available for future grant.

Pro Forma Fair Value Disclosures

Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock options been recognized based on the fair value on the grant date under the methodology prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company’s net income for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands) would have been impacted as follows:

     

 

December 31

 

 

2002

Reported net income

$17,904

 

$13,058

 
 

Pro forma net income

17,896

 

13,051

 

The fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $4.27 and $0.28 per share, respectively, which is amortized to expense over the option vesting period in determining the pro forma impact, and was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the options:

A reconciliation of the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes is as follows (in thousands):

               Year ended December 31
      2002
2001
  Computed tax at statutory tax rate $ 5,988   $ 5,052
  Income from foreign operations not taxed (6,203 ) (4,959 )
  Deemed distributions from foreign subsidiaries   1,010
  Other (77 ) 699
     

  $  (292 ) $ 1,802
     

 

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has utilized all of the approximately $1.1 million in state net operating loss carryforwards from 2001.

The Company has not recorded a provision for federal income taxes for the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the reorganization on January 5, 2001 described in Note 1, a deemed distribution of $4.0 million occurred in January 2001. Subsequent to January 2001, it is the Company’s intention to reinvest undistributed earnings in its foreign operations to improve the schools and to pursue expansion opportunities in the region. As of December 31, 2002, the cumulative undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries were approximately $32.6 million. If such earnings were not considered indefinitely reinvested, deferred federal income taxes would have been provided after consideration of estimated foreign tax credits. However, determination of the amount of deferred federal income taxes is not practical.

Dominica Management, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

10. Income Taxes (continued)

The Medical School and Veterinary School are incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica, West Indies, and the Commonwealth of St. Kitts, West Indies, respectively. The agreement with the Commonwealth of Dominica grants tax-free status for local taxes to the Medical School through the year 2043. The agreement with the Federation of St. Christopher Nevis grants tax-free status for local taxes to the Veterinary School through the year 2023. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include a foreign tax provision.

11. Related Party Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company provided a variety of managerial and administrative services to the Medical School totaling $796,000 and $346,000, respectively, and to the Veterinary School totaling $349,000 and $112,000, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company paid $352,000 and $344,000, respectively, in management fees to its common stockholders for providing managerial oversight, personnel recruitment and selection and other services.

12. Capital Stock

The Company’s capital stock consists of common stock, cumulative preferred stock A, and cumulative, mandatorily redeemable preferred stock B. Holders of common stock have one vote per share; holders of preferred stock A and B have no voting rights.

The Company may, at any time, redeem all or any portion of the shares of preferred stock A then outstanding at $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Dividends on preferred stock A accrue at the rate of 8.00% and are payable when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, cumulative dividends of $9,330,000 and $5,660,000, respectively, have accumulated on preferred stock A. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, no dividends on preferred stock A were declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

All outstanding shares of preferred stock B are mandatorily redeemable by the Company on April 13, 2020 at $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Dividends on preferred stock B accrue at the rate of 8.00% whether or not they have been declared by the Board of Directors. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,

12. Capital Stock (continued)

accrued dividends on preferred stock B of $2,285,000 and $2,115,000, respectively, were charged against accumulated deficit. Preferred stock B is presented at redemption value, including cumulative accrued dividends of $5,841,000 and $3,556,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

13. Subsequent Events

As of December 31, 2002, litigation was pending between one of the Company’s stockholders and an unaffiliated third-party individual. The Company was not a named defendant. The litigation related to the recapitalization of the Company in 2000 and compensation allegedly due pursuant to a finder’s fee letter. In 2002, the Company paid $447,000 in legal expenses to defend this matter and these costs are included in the Company’s operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002.

On March 18, 2003, the stockholder settled the litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, $1,000,000 was to be paid to the plaintiff and the Company was released from any future claims. The Company, on March 14, 2003, authorized the payment of the settlement and other expenses because, had a finder’s fee been due, the Company would have paid such fee. The settlement and legal expenses incurred in 2003 aggregated to approximately $1,310,000 and are included in the Company’s operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002.

On March 19, 2003, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement under which DeVry, Inc. will acquire for approximately $310 million of cash, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common and preferred shares and all outstanding stock options on its common stock. This transaction is expected to close in May 2003.

DOMINICA MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

 Dominica Management, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of New York in December 1997 and began operations on January 1, 1998. The Company provides a variety of managerial and administrative services to Ross University School of Medicine (the “Medical School”) and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (“the Veterinary School”) for a pre-determined fee.

 The Medical School was founded in 1978 and is a proprietary institution of higher learning that confers a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree upon completion of a ten-semester program of instruction. The Medical School is a foreign corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica and is located in Portsmouth, Dominica in the West Indies.

 The Veterinary School was founded in 1982 and is a proprietary institution of higher learning that confers a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree upon completion of a ten-semester program of instruction. The Veterinary School is a foreign corporation organized under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher Nevis and is located near Basseterre, St. Kitts in the West Indies.

 The basic sciences curricula of the Medical School and the Veterinary School (collectively, the “Universities”) are taught on their respective Caribbean island, while the clinical programs of the Universities are primarily conducted at affiliated and other U.S. teaching hospitals and veterinary schools. The Universities are accredited by accrediting bodies in the jurisdictions in which they are located.

 Prior to April 13, 2000, the Medical School, the Veterinary School and the Company were entities 100% owned by a sole stockholder. On April 13, 2000, the sole stockholder and a group of investors entered into a recapitalization agreement under which the following events took place:

The sole stockholder contributed his shares of common stock in the Medical School and Veterinary School to the Company. This transaction was a transfer between entities under common control and was recorded by the Company at the stockholder’s historical carrying values in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Medical School and Veterinary School became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and

  their results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the full year ended December 31, 2000.

The Company was recapitalized (the “Recapitalization”), increasing the authorized number of shares of common stock and authorizing the issuance of two classes of non-voting preferred stock. In connection with the Recapitalization, the one outstanding common share of the Company was split into 100,100,000 shares of common stock.
The investors acquired shares of the Company’s voting common stock and non-voting preferred stock A for total cash of $40 million.
The Company redeemed 100,000,000 shares of the sole stockholder’s common stock for cash of $100 million and the issuance of all $25 million of the Company’s non-voting preferred stock B. The proceeds from the sale of stock to the investors and the proceeds from a credit agreement (See Note 5) were used to fund the redemption.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Basis of Presentation

 The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Universities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

 Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating cash, cash invested in short-term certificates of deposit and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 Cash - EFT Escrow

 The U.S. Department of Education requires that Title IV Program loan funds collected in excess of amounts due for tuition be maintained in a separate cash or cash equivalent account until such amounts can be remitted to students.

 
  7 

 


 

DOMINICA MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Concentration of Credit Risk

 The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality credit institutions. At times cash and cash equivalent balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents.

 Tuition receivables are not collateralized, however, credit risk is minimized as a result of the diverse nature of the Universities’ student base and the fact that the majority of students receive Federal financial aid from the U.S. Department of Education. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful tuition accounts based upon factors surrounding historical trends and other information.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, tuition receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of those instruments. Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

 Property and Equipment

 Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 35 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Leased property meeting certain criteria is capitalized and the present value of the related lease payments is recorded as a liability. Amortization of capitalized leased assets is computed on the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the life of the related asset, whichever is shorter.

 Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets. This evaluation consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the assets with the assets’ expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest costs. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable

 
  8 

 


 

DOMINICA MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 assumptions and projections. Impairment, if any, is recognized in the period of identification to the extent the carrying amount of an asset exceeds discounted net cash flows attributable to such asset. No impairments were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2000.

  Tuition Revenues

 The Company’s basic sciences semesters run for fifteen weeks and begin in January, May and September. The Company’s clinical rotation semesters begin at various times throughout the year based on the timing of the student’s completion of basic science semesters and the availability of clinical rotation spots. Tuition revenue is deferred at the time of billing and is recognized as income, net of any refunds or withdrawals, ratably throughout each respective semester. Advance tuition billings and payments for the next semester are shown as unearned tuition. If a student withdraws from school before completing over 60% of the semester, the amount of any Title IV loan the student received for the period is recalculated to reflect the portion of the semester that the student has completed. The unearned portion of the Title IV loan corresponding to the period not completed is returned to the Title IV lender. Student deposits, which are typically required to hold a position in a first semester class, are usually received in advance of tuition billing. When tuition is billed, the deposit is applied against the resulting receivable.

 Stock-Based Compensation

 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to employee stock options if the option price is equal to or exceeds the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

 Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (FAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, is effective for the Company. FAS 123, which prescribes the recognition of compensation expense based on the fair value of options on the grant date, allows companies to continue applying APB 25 if certain pro forma disclosures are made assuming hypothetical fair value method application. See Note 9 for pro forma disclosures required by FAS 123 plus additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation plan.

DOMINICA MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Income Taxes

 The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 Advertising Expenses

 Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $396,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

 Use of Estimates

 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Comprehensive Income

  The Company has no items of comprehensive income other than net income.

 Depreciation and amortization amounted to approximately $1,119,000, for the year ended December 31, 2000.

 In 1994, the Medical School sold substantially all of the land and buildings it owned at that time on Dominica in the West Indies under a sale-leaseback agreement accounted for as a financing arrangement. The lease has been classified as a capital lease in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13 “Accounting for Leases”. The Medical School received consideration of approximately $2.1 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of $595,000, which is being recognized over the term of the related capital lease which runs through the year 2043. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Medical School recognized approximately $12,000 of this gain. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital lease amounted to $67,000 as of December 31, 2000.

5. Credit Agreement

 In connection with the Recapitalization described in Note 1, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a consortium of banks, providing for an aggregate credit amount of up to $90,000,000. The agreement is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. All amounts outstanding under the credit agreement are payable on or before April 13, 2005. The Company incurred approximately $1.48 million in fees associated with entering into the credit agreement. The fees are amortized over the term of the credit agreement. Accumulated amortization of the fees amounted to $241,000 as of December 31, 2000.

 The credit agreement has three components: Tranche A, Tranche B, and Revolver. At the Company’s election, borrowings under the credit agreement may either be a Eurodollar loan (bearing interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.00%) or a Base Rate loan (bearing interest at prime plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.00%). Interest is payable at

 the end of the interest period which is elected by the Company when a borrowing is made under the credit agreement.

 At December 31, 2000, the borrowings under Tranche A and Tranche B components were Eurodollar loans, bearing interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25% and 4.00% (9.89% and 10.64%), respectively; borrowings under the Revolver were Base Rate loans bearing interest at prime plus a margin of 2.75% (11.75%). Interest is payable at the end of the loan period on all outstanding amounts under each component.

 In accordance with the credit agreement, a substantial portion of the available borrowing was used to redeem the shares of common stock of the Company previously owned by the sole stockholder. At December 31, 2000, $20.2 million of the Revolver component is available to the Company. Of the $20.2 million, $200 thousand is available to the Company for operations and $20 million is available to Company if required under U. S. Department of Education Title IV regulatory requirements.

 Scheduled principal payments of the amounts outstanding under each component of the credit agreement are as follows (in thousands):

 The credit agreement requires that the Company meet certain covenants. As of December 31, 2000, the most restrictive provisions were as follows: consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of no less than $16 million, consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA less consolidated capital expenditures divided by consolidated interest expense plus scheduled debt payments) of no less than 1.00 to 1.00, interest coverage ratio (EBITDA divided by annualized interest paid) of no less than 2.50 to 1.00, and consolidated leverage ratio (debt divided by EBITDA) of no more than 3.25 to 1.00. The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio was 3.53 for the year ended

 
  13 

 


 

DOMINICA MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 December 31, 2000. The Company has met all of the required ratios except for the consolidated leverage ratio for which it has received a waiver from its lender.

 The fair value of the amounts outstanding under the credit agreement was determined using cash flows discounted at current market rates of 9.65875% for Tranche A, 10.39875% for Tranche B, and 12.25% for the Revolver. At December 31, 2000, the fair value of the amounts outstanding is estimated to be $71.3 million.

 In accordance with the credit agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 13, 2000 with one of the banks in the consortium. The interest rate swap is for a two-year period ending December 13, 2002, with a notional amount of $27.5 million. (See Note 6.)

6. Interest Rate Swap

 The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a two year term on December 13, 2000 to convert $27.5 million of its variable rate debt under its credit agreement (See Note 5) to a fixed rate of 6.74%. The interest rate swap is used to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by the volatility of LIBOR, which is the index rate upon which the Tranche A and Tranche B components of its credit agreement are based. Interest rate fluctuations create an unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the market value of the Company’s debt when compared with its cost. At December 31, 2000, the interest rate swap was in an unrealized loss position of $549,000.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

 Federal Financial Assistance Programs

 The Universities participate in various federal student financial assistance programs. These programs, which are for the benefit of the students who attend the Universities, have strict requirements for participation. The Medical and Veterinary Schools are subject to reviews and audits of these requirements. Specific areas of review include student program eligibility, coordination of financial aid programs and other matters. Management believes that the potential effects of audit adjustments, if any, for the year ended December 31, 2000 will not have a material adverse effect on the Universities’ financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8. Employee Savings Plan

 The Company has established an employee 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, only employees of Dominica Management, Inc. are allowed to participate, subject to certain service requirements. The Company matches 50% of the first 4% of employees’ contributions. The Company’s contribution vests over a five-year period. The Company’s contribution to the Plan amounted to approximately $82,000 in 2000.

9. Stock Incentive Plan

 On August 29, 2000, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has sole responsibility and authority for the interpretation and administration of the Plan including the selection of the employees or individuals to receive awards, the size and terms of the awards, the timing of the awards and the duration of vesting and exercise. The Plan is available to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, certain independent consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Plan provides for the award of a broad variety of stock-based compensation alternatives such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, and performance awards. The Company has made available under the Plan, 127,500 shares of its common stock and 1,955 shares of its preferred stock A. The maximum number of shares of common and preferred stock that may be granted to any individual participant is 110,000 and 1,000 shares, respectively. Awards under the Plan are exercisable at such prices and during such periods and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Stock options are exercisable at prices that can range from 85% to 110% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant and may be exercisable up to ten years from the date of grant.

 On August 29, 2000, the Committee granted 80,000 nonqualified stock options on shares of its common stock to a key employee of the Company with an exercise price of $1 per option, which was the fair market value on the date of grant. Of the 80,000 options granted, 60,000 vest evenly over a four-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The remaining 20,000 options granted vest upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company or on the twentieth trading day after the stock becomes publicly traded, subject to continued employment. None of the stock options are exercisable as of December 31, 2000.

 Pro Forma Fair Value Disclosures

 Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock options been recognized based on the fair value on the grant date under the methodology prescribed by FAS 123, the Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 would have been impacted as follows.

       Reported net income $16,149           
  Pro forma net income $16,146  

  The fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2000 was $0.26 per share, which is amortized to expense over the option vesting period in determining the pro forma impact, and was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the options:


       Expected life in years 5.00 years           
  Interest rate 5.90%  
  Expected dividend yield 0.00%  
  Volatility

     Accrued vacation 138  
     Property and equipment (24 )
   
 
    $ 1,593  
   
 

 The Company’s income tax benefit differs from taxes computed using the U.S. federal statutory rate as follows:

       US Federal statutory rate $ 4,949           
  State and local income taxes (366 )
  Foreign income permanently reinvested (6,207 )
  Other 31  
   
 
      Total tax benefit $ (1,593 )
   
 

 As of December 31, 2000, the Company has available for income tax purposes approximately $3.7 million in federal and state net operating loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future taxable income. These loss carryforwards begin to expire in fiscal year 2021. Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses. The Company believes future operating results will allow it to fully utilize its federal net operating loss carryforwards. Accordingly, there is no valuation allowance recognized against the deferred tax asset.

 The Company has not recorded a provision for federal income taxes for the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. It is the Company’s intention to reinvest undistributed earnings in its foreign operations to improve the schools and to pursue expansion opportunities in the region. As of December 31, 2000, the cumulative undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries were approximately $22.9 million. If such earnings were not considered indefinitely reinvested, deferred federal income taxes would have been provided, after consideration of estimated foreign tax credits. However, determination of the amount of deferred federal income taxes is not practical.

DEVRY INC.
PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

The following unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income give effect to the Company’s acquisition of all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Dominica Management, Inc. and subsidiaries(DMI). DMI owns and operates Ross University School of Medicine and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. With campuses located in the Caribbean countries of Dominica and St. Kitts/Nevis, Ross University is one of the world’s largest providers of medical and veterinary education with more than 2,500 students.

The total consideration paid for DMI of $329,284,000 was comprised of $59,284,000 in cash from current operations, $125,000,000 of senior notes due 2010 privately placed with institutional investors and $145,000,000 of borrowings under a revolving line of credit agreement from a group of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. The final purchase price is subject to adjustment based upon adjustments to actual working capital at the closing date.

The pro forma amounts recorded herein relating to the acquisition are subject to adjustment as the Company has not yet completed the final allocation of purchase price. The final asset valuations are in the process of being completed, the purchase price is subject to final closing adjustments and deferred income taxes may be affected by the final purchase price allocation. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price and complete the allocations no later than the 1st quarter ended September 30, 2003. To the extent a different amount of the final purchase price is allocated to amortizable intangible assets, the estimated pro forma charge to net income could change.

The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and DMI and gives effect to the transaction under the purchase method of accounting and the activity associated with financing the transaction with the assumptions and adjustments in the accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The historical carrying values of certain assets and liabilities approximate fair value. Accordingly, no adjustments to the corresponding carrying values were recorded.

The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet combines the financial position of DMI and the Company as of March 31, 2003 as if the acquisition was consummated as of this date. The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income combine the results of operations of DMI for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2002, with the results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as if the acquisition was consummated as of July 1, 2001.

The pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared by Company management based upon the financial statements of DMI. These pro forma combined statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the combination had been in effect on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of DMI for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of DMI for the three months ended March 31, 2003, contained elsewhere herein, and of the Company contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DEVRY INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2002

The Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet combines the financial position of the Company and DMI as of March 31, 2003 as if the acquisition was consummated as of this date. In combining the entities, the following pro forma adjustments have been made:

(a) Effective May 16, 2003, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Dominica Management, Inc. (DMI) for $329,284,000 in cash which includes approximately $4,200,000 of acquisition related fees. The total consideration was comprised of $59,284,000 in cash, $125,000,000 of senior notes due 2010 privately placed with institutional investors and $145,000,000 of borrowings under a revolving line of credit agreement from a group of banks led by Bank of America, N.A.

(b) Costs incurred and capitalized by the Company since March 31, 2003 in relation to the financing noted in (a) totaled approximately $3,938,000. The financing costs are being amortized over the length of the financing agreements.

(c) Under purchase accounting, DMI’s assets, including certain identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities are required to be adjusted to reflect their fair values. The Company has engaged an independent professional valuation consultant to assist in determining these values and is in the process of obtaining final valuation reports and completing the purchase price allocations. While the estimated amounts included as pro forma adjustments have been based on valuation techniques designed to approximate their fair values, they are subject to change based on the final valuations. The preliminary estimated fair value adjustments are as follows:

Value of Student Relationships $52,700,000
Value of Tradenames 5,100,000
Increase in value of buildings and equipment 2,766,000
   
 
$60,566,000
   
 

 
   

 


 

(d) In connection with closing the transaction, a current deferred tax asset of $5,726,000 resulting from a deduction for the exercise and non-statutory disposition of employee incentive stock options was recorded in purchase accounting. The Company’s ability to realize the state income tax portion of this deferred tax asset is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain state filing jurisdictions within a prescribed time frame. As such, a valuation allowance of approximately $600,000 has been recorded. Also, the Company recorded a current tax liability of $13,599,000, resulting from a deemed distribution, arising upon acquisition, of accumulated earnings and profits of its non-US subsidiaries through the acquisition date. Additionally, the Company recorded a non-current deferred tax liability of $1,979,000 resulting from a book and tax basis difference associated with the tradename asset recorded in purchase accounting. No deferred tax liability was recorded with respect to student relationship intangibles as this temporary difference relates to operations that have been granted tax free status in their local jurisdictions during the periods the temporary difference is expected to reverse.

(e) The Company acquired all the common stock of DMI including repayment of its outstanding financing obligations. These consisted of $15,689,000 of current obligations and $16,749,000 of long-term obligations both under an existing credit agreement. In addition, deferred financing fees of $585,000 recorded at DMI and associated with this debt are eliminated from the combined assets in purchase accounting. Also, the Company paid $31,624,000 to retire the Class B Preferred Stock and cumulative dividends.

(f) The $484,000 balance of a deferred gain DMI had recorded on a sale and leaseback transaction is eliminated in applying purchase accounting to the transaction.

(g) The equity of the acquired DMI is eliminated upon the purchase and consolidation with the Company.

(h) Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The preliminary goodwill amount is subject to adjustment as the Company has not yet completed the final allocation of purchase price. The final asset valuations are in the process of being completed, the purchase price is subject to final closing adjustments and deferred income taxes may be affected by the final purchase price allocation. Preliminary goodwill is calculated as follows:

Total purchase price $ 329,284,000
Add: Tax assets and liabilities, net (d) 9,852,000
Deduct: Fair Value Adjustments (c) (60,566,000 )
            Net book value of assets acquired
             after adjustments in (e)and (f)
             above (26,178,000 )
   
 
Total preliminary goodwill $ 252,392,000
   
 

 
   

 


 

The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income combines results of operations of the Company and DMI as though the acquisition occurred on July 1, 2001. The periods used for DMI in this combination for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 were the third and fourth quarters of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. The periods used for DMI in this combination for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were the third and fourth quarters of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and the first and second quarters of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. In combining the entities, the following pro forma adjustments have been made based on the preliminary purchase accounting allocations:

$ (395,000

)

     

(j) 

Amortization of intangible assets. The assets
   being amortized are the student relationships in
   (c) above. The amortization is being recorded over
   a five year period and the amount amortized is
   based on the estimated progression of the
   students through the respective medical and
   veterinary programs, giving consideration to the
   revenue and cash flow associated with both existing
   students and new applicants. This results in the basis of
   $52,700,000 being amortized at an annual rate of
   29.0% during the nine months ended March 31, 2003
   and at an annual rate of 27.4% during the year ended
   June 30, 2002.

(k) 

Amortization of deferred financing fees in (b) above.
This is calculated using the straight line method over
the length of the two loan agreements described in a) above.
The total revolving line of credit of $175,000,000 ($145,000,000
was borrowed for the acquisition) represents 58.33% of the total
new debt. Accordingly, 58.33% of the deferred fees, or $2,297,000,
is considered attributable to this facility and amortized over a period
of 3 years which is the initial term of the line of credit. The remaining
$1,641,000 of fees are associated with the senior notes which have
a term of 7 years.

 

(750,000

)

(1,000,000

)

   

(l) 

Elimination of DMI interest expense and deferred financing fee
amortization. The debt associated with this interest and fees
was repaid as part of this acquisition and is eliminated in the pro forma
adjustment (e) above.

 

2,336,000

 

4,583,000

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

(m) 

Interest expense on borrowings to effect acquisition. These
amounts are calculated using the Company’s actual interest
rates on the borrowings following completion of the acquisition, as follows:
      Senior Debt:
            $125,000,000 x 2.54%
      Bank Debt:
            $125,000,000 x 2.5275%
                20,000,000 x 2.5575%

 

(5,134,000

)

(6,846,000

)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(If the interest rate on the above debt were to fluctuate by
1/8%, this would increase or decrease the interest expense
amount used in this pro forma adjustment by $253,000 for
the nine months ended
March 31, 2003 and $338,000 for the
year
ended June 30, 2002.)

Tax effects on above adjustment (k) & the U.S. portion of the
borrowings in above adjustment (m) at the Company’s
effective tax rate. $170,000,000 of the borrowings are U.S. based.
The interest expense on this portion in adjustment (m) is
$3,234,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and
$4,312,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The Company’s
estimated incremental effective tax rate applicable to this
transaction is 38.70% for the nine months ended
March 31, 2003 and 39.39% for the year ended
June 30, 2002. Certain Non-U.S. subsidiaries acquired have
been granted tax free status for local jurisdiction taxes and
therefore, no tax provision or benefit has been recorded with
respect to the pro forma adjustments associated with these
operations.
