        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                  JUNE 30, 1999

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending March 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The balance sheet at March 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

2. 1998 PUBLIC OFFERING

On July 2, 1998, the Company completed a public offering of common stock. A
total of 2,300,000 shares were sold at $8.75 per share which included 426,001
shares sold by the Company and 1,873,999 shares sold by certain selling
stockholders. This amount includes the over allotment exercised by the
underwriters. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $3.5 million
before deducting expenses of the offering. These proceeds are being used for
general corporate purposes.



                                                                              7

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are calculated using Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, ("SFAS 128"). Basic earnings per share
include weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share
include weighted average common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of
stock options and stock purchase warrants.

The table below presents the computations and required disclosures under SFAS
128.

Options to purchase 447,700 and 30,500 shares of common stock at June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively and warrants to purchase 16,667 shares of common stock at
June 30, 1999 were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share because the option's exercise price was greater than
the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would
be antidilutive.

</TABLE>

(1) All of the acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the results of operations
of the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statement of income
as of the acquisition date. The assets and liabilities of the companies acquired
in fiscal 1999 are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet based on
a preliminary allocation of their estimated fair values on the date of
acquisition. The excess of cost over acquired net assets of businesses acquired
has been recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis.


                                                                              9

Net Revenue. Net revenue increased by $5,411 or 28.9%, to $24,122 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from $18,711 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Revenue growth was primarily a result of the operations of the two
American Institute of Commerce and three Hamilton Colleges ("The Iowa Colleges")
which were acquired in November 1998. Revenue from the operations of schools
included in the Company's results for the entire first quarters ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 (same schools) increased 10.2%. The number of students attending
the Company's schools at the end of the current quarter ended June 30, 1999
increased 20.7% to 10,158 from 8,418 at the end of the corresponding quarter in
1998 principally as a result of the addition of the Iowa Colleges and same
school total student enrollment growth of 6.7%. The number of new student starts
at the Company's schools during the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased
to 2,569 from 1,997 for the corresponding three months of the prior year, a
28.6% increase. This increase was due to the addition of the Iowa Colleges and a
10.6% increase in the Company's same schools.

Cost of Education and Facilities. Cost of education and facilities increased by
$3,030, or 32.2%, to $12,426 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from
$9,396 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, principally as a result of the
addition of the Iowa College schools in fiscal 1999, costs related to increased
enrollments in those schools, the increased cost of new program


                                                                             10
<PAGE>   11


implementations and facility expansions. The cost of education and facilities as
a percentage of net revenue was 51.5% in 1999 compared with 50.2% in 1998.

Selling and Promotional. Selling and promotional expenses increased by $952, or
34.6%, to $3,704 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,752 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 principally as a result of the addition of the
Iowa schools and increased advertising for new programs. Selling and promotional
expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 15.4% in 1999 compared with
14.7% in 1998.

General and Administrative. Administrative expenses increased by $1,167, or
20.8%, to $6,791 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $5,624 for the

intangibles decreased $33 or 0.7%, to $426 for the three months ended June 30,
1999 from $459 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was
primarily a result of certain intangible assets being fully amortized.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense decreased $88 to $246 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from net interest expense of $334 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The change was principally a result of lower debt
levels from the prior year resulting in decreased interest expense.

Income Taxes. Income taxes increased by $159 to $220 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 from $61 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 due to the
increase in income before income taxes.

Net Income. Net income increased to $309 for the three months ended June 30,
1999 from net income of $85 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$2,945 compared to $3,687 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Cash used in
operating activities in the current three month period is due to increased
payments of income taxes and interest payments on borrowings under the Company's
bank credit facility. The Company's principal source of funds at June 30, 1999
were cash and cash equivalents of $2,974 and accounts receivable of $7,988. The
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $9,962 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 was due to debt payments of $8,200 and tax payments of $2,400.

Historically, the Company's investment activity consisted of capital asset
purchases and the purchase of schools. Capital expenditures, excluding capital
leases, totaled $1,314 and $347 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively, consisting of purchases of additional equipment, upgrades
and replacement of existing equipment such as computers and medical equipment
for school programs, and expanded facilities. Capital expenditures were
primarily at the Atlanta, Nebraska, and Virginia schools to support new programs
in the current


                                                                             11

three month period, and at the CHI Institute schools and Hesser schools in the
corresponding three month period of the prior year.

The Company's capital assets consist primarily of classroom and laboratory
equipment (such as computers and medical devices), classroom and office
furniture, and leasehold improvements. All building facilities are leased, with
the exception of the land and building owned by the Company in Dayton, Ohio;
Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska; and Manchester, New Hampshire. The Company plans to
continue to expand current facilities, upgrade and replace equipment, and
acquire new schools. The Company expects that its fiscal 2000 operations and
planned capital expenditures will be funded through cash generated from existing
operations.

The use of cash financing activities experienced for the three month period
ended June 30, 1999 was primarily a result of payments on long term debt.

Cash flow from operations on a long-term basis is highly dependent on the
receipt of funds from Title IV Programs, and presently a majority of the
Company's net revenue is derived from Title IV Programs. Disbursement of Title
IV Program funds is governed by federal regulations. For students enrolled in
"non-term" programs, (i.e., not divided into quarters or semesters), payments
are generally made in two equal installments, one in the first 30 days following
the student's first day of class and the second when the student reaches the
midpoint of the program. For students enrolled in term programs (i.e., quarters
or semesters) payments are made at the beginning of each term, with the
exception of the initial disbursement which is made 30 days following the
student's first day of class.

OTHER MATTERS

Year 2000 Compliance

Computer-based systems that utilize two digits rather than four digits to define
the applicable year may fail to properly recognize date sensitive information
when the year changes to 2000. Because the Company has purchased or upgraded
substantially all of its computer hardware and software systems within the last
few years, for reasons unrelated to Year 2000 compliance issues, the Company
does not expect to be affected by Year 2000 issues arising from the use of older
"legacy" computer-based systems. The Company is currently conducting a
comprehensive review of its computer-based systems (both hardware and software)
to determine if those systems will be affected by resulting Year 2000 compliance
issues. So far, the Company's review of its computer-based systems indicates
that approximately 70% of all such systems are Year 2000 compliant. Systems
crucial to the Company's financial operations such as accounting and FEEDS (the
Company's federal financial aid system software) are Year 2000 compliant.
Management has determined that replacement or upgrade of the non-compliant
systems will not require incurring costs in excess of $250, and that the
replacements and upgrades can be completed with a minimal allocation of
manpower. The Company anticipates that all of its internal systems will be Year
2000 compliant by September 30, 1999. The Company is seeking confirmation from
outside vendors, financial institutions and others that they are Year 2000
compliant or that they are developing and implementing plans to become Year 2000
compliant and has received written confirmation of compliance from approximately
two-thirds of such outside vendors, financial institutions and otherwise. The
Company has been advised by the Department of Education that


                                                                             12

modifications of the systems involved in the administration of the Department's
Federal Direct Student Loan Program which represents a majority of the Company's
funding will be completed by June, 1999. However, there can be no assurance that
these outside vendors, financial institutions, and others will timely resolve
their own Year 2000 compliance issues or that any such failure would not have an
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
The Company is in the process of formulating contingency plans to assure the
continuation of its operations if these outside vendors, financial institutions
or others fail to timely resolve their own Year 2000 compliance issues.
Management believes it is devoting the necessary resources to timely address all
Year 2000 compliance issues over which it has control.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has considered the provision of Financial Reporting Release No. 48,
"Disclosure of Accounting Policies for Derivative Financial Instruments and
Derivative Commodity Instruments, and Disclosure of Quantitative and Qualitative
Information about Market Risk Inherent in Derivative Financial Instruments,
Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments:.

The Company had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at
June 30, 1999, and the Company does not invest or intend to invest in derivative
financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.

Substantially all of the Company's indebtedness was incurred in connection with
the acquisitions of its schools, is payable to the sellers of those schools, and
bears a fixed interest rate. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate
change market risk with respect to its $40,000 credit facility with a financial
institution which is priced based on the London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR)
plus a spread of 1.500% - 2.375% based on certain conditions. At June 30, 1999,
$8,800 was outstanding under its credit facility and the Company had utilized a
portion of the credit line to support a Letter of Credit in the amount of $2,400
issued in connection with the acquisition of the Iowa schools. Changes in LIBOR
during the next twelve months will have a positive or negative effect on the
Company's interest expense. Based on amounts currently outstanding under the
credit facility, including the Letter of Credit, each 1% fluctuation in the
LIBOR rate will increase or decrease interest expense for the Company by
approximately $88 annually.
