                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders' of

Scottsdale Culinary Institute, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SCOTTSDALE CULINARY
INSTITUTE, INC. (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related statements of operations and retained earnings and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Scottsdale Culinary Institute,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   (Information for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

   Scottsdale Culinary Institute, Inc. (the "Company" or the "School") was
   incorporated in June 1986 for the purpose of operating a school to provide
   professional culinary education.  The School, located in Scottsdale, Arizona,
   provides professional culinary education leading to an Associate of
   Occupational Studies degree in Culinary Arts and Sciences and Restaurant
   Management.  The School also operates a restaurant open to the public.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   The financial statements and related notes thereto for the six months ended
   June 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis
   as the audited financial statements included herein.  In the opinion of
   management, such unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
   (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
   information set forth herein.  Operating results for the six months ended
   June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
   for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.  The principal accounting
   policies of the Company are as follows:

   Concentration of Credit Risk

   The Company extends unsecured credit for tuition to a significant portion of
   the students who are in attendance at the School.  A substantial portion of
   credit extended to students is repaid through the students' participation in
   federally funded financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher
   Education Act of 1965, as amended ("Title IV Programs").  Approximately 55%,
   58%, 55% and 57% of the Company's net revenue was collected from Title IV
   Program funds for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the six
   months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The Company generally
   completes and approves the financial aid packet of each student who qualifies
   for financial aid prior to the student's beginning class in an effort to
   enhance the collectibility of its unsecured credit.  Transfers of funds from
   the financial aid programs to the Company are made in accordance with DOE
   requirements.  Changes in DOE funding of federal student financial aid
   programs could impact the Company's ability to attract students.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in banks and money market funds.

                                      F-5

<PAGE>


 
   Restricted Cash

   Cash received from the U. S. Government under various student aid grant and
   loan programs is considered to be restricted.  Restricted cash is held in
   separate bank accounts and does not become available for general use by the
   Company until the financial aid is credited to the accounts of students and
   the cash is transferred to an operating account.  There is no restricted cash
   included in the cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 1997,
   December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1998.

   Inventories

   Inventories consisting principally of food and beverage, program materials,
   books and supplies are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in,
   first-out basis or market.

   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are
   recognized utilizing the straight-line method over the related assets useful
   lives.  Leasehold improvements and assets recorded under capital leases are
   amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful
   life of the asset or the lease term.  The cost basis and estimated useful
   lives of property and equipment at December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and
   June 30, 1998, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

   The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
   circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  To
   date, no such events or changes in circumstances have occurred.  If such
   events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company will recognize an
   impairment loss if the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be
   generated by the asset (or acquired business) are less than the carrying
   value of the related asset.  The impairment loss would adjust the asset to
   its fair value.

    Revenue Recognition

    Revenue is derived primarily from courses taught at the School. Tuition
    revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis during the period of
    instruction provided by the School. Other revenues consist of restaurant
    revenues and are recognized as services are performed. If a student
    withdraws, future revenue is reduced by the amount of refund due to the
    student. Refunds are calculated in accordance with federal, state and
    accrediting agency standards. Deferred tuition revenue represents the
    portion of tuition payments received but not earned and is reflected as a
    current liability on the balance sheet as such amount is expected to be
    earned within the next year.


    Marketing and Advertising Costs

    Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing and
    advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses were
    approximately $191,000, $221,000, $113,000 and $93,000 for the years ended
    December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
    respectively.
    
    
    Income Taxes
    
    The Company has elected to be treated as an S Corporation under the
    provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the
    shareholders of the Company are responsible for the federal taxes arising
    from its operations. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income
    taxes has been included in these financial statements.


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


3.  LINE OF CREDIT

    At December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had available a line
    of credit providing for borrowings of up to $200,000, bearing interest at
    the bank's reference rate plus 1.5%. The note contains certain financial
    covenants and is guaranteed by the shareholders. The note was not utilized
    at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and expired in April 1998.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Regulatory

    The Company has federal financial assistance programs that are subject to
    ongoing program reviews by the DOE and Title IV program audits by external
    auditors. Based upon the results of such audits and reviews, the Company may
    have to repay funds previously granted to its students through loans and
    grants, and pay interest, fines and/or penalties. Management believes such
    amounts would be minimal and does not expect them to have a material effect
    on the results of operations of the Company.

    The Company is also required to meet certain financial and other standards
    in order to qualify to participate in Title IV programs. These include
    maintaining an acid test ratio (defined as cash, cash equivalents, and
    current accounts receivable to current liabilities) of at least 1:1, having
    a positive tangible net worth at the end of each fiscal year, to collect
    less than 85% of its education revenues from Title IV funds on an annual
    basis, not to have cumulative net operating losses during the most recent
    fiscal years that result in a decline of more than 10% of the Company's
    tangible net worth at the beginning of that two-year period, and a student
    default rate on their federal loans of not more than 25% for any three-year
    consecutive period, amongst others.


    Leases

    The Company leases equipment under capital leases expiring at various dates
    through 2002. In addition, the Company leases its school facility and
    certain equipment under noncancellable operating leases expiring at various
    dates through 2008. Rent expense, exclusive of taxes, insurance and
    maintenance of the facility and equipment for the years ended December 31,
    1997 and 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was
    approximately $436,000, $369,000, $191,000 and $220,000, respectively.

                 CAREER EDUCATION CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of
Career Education Corporation and subsidiaries ("the Company" or "CEC") give
effect to the acquisition of Scottsdale Culinary Institute, Inc. ("SCI"). The
unaudited pro forma financial statements are filed by way of an amendment to the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 14, 1998 which described
the acquisition of SCI.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1998
and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of
the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June
30, 1998 give effect to the acquisition. The acquisition is being accounted for
as a purchase and the transaction is treated as if it had occurred on June 30,
1998 in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and as of
January 1, 1997 for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
June 30, 1998 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were prepared from the
unaudited historical balance sheets and statements of operations of the Company
and SCI. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1997 was prepared from the audited historical
statements of operations of the Company and SCI.

All interim financial data used to develop the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statements of operations are unaudited, but in the opinion of management,
reflect all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring entries)
for a fair presentation thereof. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or consolidated
results of operations of the Company that would have been reported had the
acquisition occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they represent a forecast of
the consolidated financial position of the Company for any future date or the
consolidated results of operations of the Company in the future. Furthermore, no
effect has been given in the pro forma statements of operations for synergies or
cost savings, if any, that may be realized through the combination of the
Company and SCI.

As stated above, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The
acquired assets and liabilities of SCI are stated at values representing a
preliminary allocation of the purchase price based upon the estimated fair
market values at the date of acquisition. The final purchase accounting
allocations will be determined based on the final appraised values, which could
differ from the estimates used herein.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and
should be read in conjunction with, the Company's Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the audited financial
statements of SCI as of December 31, 1997 and the unaudited financial statements
of SCI as of June 30, 1998, both of which are also included within this
amendment to the Company's Form 8-K filed on August 14, 1998.
