ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

  GENERAL 

   Whitman Education Group, Inc. ("Whitman" or the "Company") operates 21 
career-oriented, degree and non-degree granting post-secondary schools in 12 
states through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: M.D.J.B., Inc., Sanford 
Brown College, Inc., and Ultrasound Technical Services, Inc. At March 31, 
1996, approximately 5,200 students were enrolled at Whitman schools. 

   M.D.J.B., Inc. ("MDJB") is the sole shareholder of Colorado Technical 
University, Inc. which operates Colorado Technical University ("Colorado 
Tech"). Colorado Tech is a regionally accredited degree granting institution 
with one location in Colorado Springs, Colorado with approximately 1,600 
students enrolled primarily in engineering, computer science and management 
programs. Colorado Tech confers degrees at the associate's, bachelor's, 
master's and doctorate levels with tuition rates ranging from approximately 
$10,000 to approximately $24,000. 

   MDJB also operates Concept Communications, an advertising agency which 
provides services to Colorado Tech and other clients not affiliated with 
MDJB. 

   Sanford Brown College, Inc. operates Sanford-Brown College 
("Sanford-Brown"), an associate degree granting institution providing 
career-oriented healthcare and business education through its five schools 
located in Missouri and Southern Illinois. Sanford-Brown also operates the 
Sanford-Brown Institute (formerly an Ultrasound Diagnostic School) in Ohio 
that provides programs in General Ultrasound and Cardiovascular Technology. 
Approximately 1,650 students are enrolled in various Sanford-Brown programs 
with tuition rates ranging from $11,000 to $16,000. 

   Ultrasound Technical Services, Inc. operates 14 Ultrasound Diagnostic 
Schools in eight states for the training of medical diagnostic ultrasound 
technologists. The Ultrasound Diagnostic Schools have also recently added 
Cardiovascular Technology and Medical Assisting programs to their curriculum 
offerings. Approximately 1,950 students are enrolled in the various 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School programs with tuition rates ranging from 
approximately $8,000 to $11,500. 

   The Company's executive offices are located at 4400 Biscayne Boulevard, 
6th Floor, Miami, Florida 33137, and its telephone number is (305) 575-6534. 

  BUSINESS STRATEGY 

   Whitman intends to become a leading provider of higher education programs 
for working adults and college-bound high school graduates. The Company 
intends to achieve its strategic goal by developing growth plans that will 
capitalize on the demographic and economic trends of the information age, as 
well as the higher levels of education required by employers due to continued 
advancements in technology. Key elements of the Company's business strategy 
include the following: 

   /bullet/ Expansion of degree and program offerings at Colorado Tech, 
            Sanford-Brown and Ultrasound Diagnostic Schools by implementing 
            in each of those schools certain programs currently in place at 
            the other schools. 

   /bullet/ The establishment of new Colorado Tech campuses. 

   /bullet/ Expanding access to programs by implementing distance education 
            delivery systems as new technologies become cost effective. 

   /bullet/ Capitalizing on operating synergies between subsidiaries, such as 
            certain administrative and marketing functions that can be 
            centralized to leverage the organizational infrastructure and the 
            sharing of strengths from each subsidiary to all others. 

                                        3
<PAGE>
   /bullet/ Growth through acquisition of higher degree granting institutions 
            providing education in the areas of technology, healthcare and 
            business, and other institutions with a concentration in distance 
            learning and corporate training. 

   Through the acquisitions of Colorado Tech and Sanford-Brown, the Company 
has created the ability to broaden and deepen its own market with a stable 
and more predictable working adult customer base. Management believes that 
diversification and elevation of Colorado Tech's and Sanford-Brown's products 
in the Company's 21 schools located in 12 states can enhance future revenues 
and earnings. The Company began the process of elevating its product by 
transferring one of the Ultrasound Diagnostic Schools (now the Sanford-Brown 
Institute) to Sanford-Brown in March 1996. The Company believes that by 
pursuing its business strategy it can become a leading provider of higher 
education programs for working adults. 

  MARKETS 

   The postsecondary education industry is highly fragmented with no single 
institution possessing a significant market share. According to United States 
Department of Education statistics, the United States spends over $600 
billion or 10% of GDP on pre-kindergarten through postgraduate education. Of 
the total amount of education spending, approximately $200 billion is spent 
on postsecondary education, with only a small percentage of this market being 
provided by public companies. The Company believes that the demand for 
greater participation in higher education by the proprietary sector will 
increase significantly due to the current and future economic, demographic 
and work place trends. Such trends indicate a continued increase in the 
number of working adult students, an increase in the number of high school 
graduates seeking college or specialized post-secondary education and an 
increase in the skill levels required by employers due to continued 
advancements in technology. 

   The Company's primary target market includes several groups of potential 
students: working adults seeking career change or enhancement, recently 
laid-off adults seeking re-entry into the workplace, recent high school 
graduates, and corporations seeking to train their employees. Each of the 
Company's operating subsidiaries primarily draws enrollment from a local 
area, typically within a 30-mile radius of the campus. With the exception of 
Colorado Tech, substantially all of the Company's schools are in markets 
where the population exceeds one million people. 

  ACADEMIC PROGRAMS 

   Through its operating subsidiaries, Whitman offers a variety of programs 
at the associates, bachelors, masters and doctorate levels as well as 
numerous professional certificate programs for degree students who wish to 
expand or enhance their knowledge in a specific field or to enter a field 
quickly. Each of Whitman's schools has a separate advisory board made up of 
professionals in career fields related to its program offerings. As a result, 
each curriculum focuses on the practical needs of the industry, yet remains 
flexible enough to respond quickly to changes in those needs.

  OPERATING UNITS 

  COLORADO TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY 

   Whitman completed its acquisition of Colorado Tech in March 1996 (See 
"Acquisition of Colorado Tech"). Colorado Tech was founded in Colorado in 
1965. The mission of the University is to provide career-oriented education 
by teaching applied, real-world, state-of-the-practice programs in selected 
business and technical fields. Colorado Tech is accredited by the Commission 
on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of 
Colleges and Schools (NCA). Its Bachelor of Science degree program in 
Electrical Engineering is also accredited by the Engineering Accreditation 
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology; and its 
Bachelor of Science degree in Electronic Engineering Technology is accredited 
by The Technology Accreditation Board Commission for Engineering and 
Technology. Furthermore, its programs have been endorsed by organizations 
including the International Society of Logistics Engineers (SOLE) and the 
Logistics Education Foundation (LEF). 

   Student enrollment has grown from 1,432 at December 31, 1993 to 1,563 at 
December 31, 1995. Over the same period, revenues and income from operations 
have grown from $7.1 million to $8.9 million, and $224,000 to $567,000, 
respectively. Colorado Tech is an adult-oriented commuter school. Over 70% of 
Colorado Tech's students are working adults. Most students live in Colorado 
Springs and nearby communities comprising a market of approximately 500,000 
people. Many of Colorado Tech's students are already established in their 
career fields and their educational goals focus on career advancement. To 
support the lifestyle demands and time constraints of these students, 
Colorado Tech 

                                        5
<PAGE>
provides day, evening and weekend classes, and a flexible approach to program 
structuring. Class sizes are small, and professors share their knowledge and 
experience in a highly personal atmosphere. 

   Colorado Tech's strategic objectives include expansion of branch campuses 
into other markets in its region as well as expansion of program offerings 
that target graduating high school students to increase its day-student 
enrollment. 

   Tuition rates for Colorado Tech degree programs range from $10,560 for its 
masters degree programs to $24,300 for its bachelor degree programs. 

   During the most recent year ended March 31, 1996, approximately 340 
students graduated from Colorado Tech. 

  SANFORD-BROWN COLLEGE 

   On December 21, 1994, Whitman acquired Sanford-Brown (See "Acquisition of 
Sanford-Brown College"). Founded shortly after the Civil War, Sanford-Brown 
operates four schools in Missouri and one in Illinois organized into two main 
campuses--Des Peres, Missouri and Granite City, Illinois. Sanford-Brown 
offers associate's degree and professional certificate programs in healthcare 
and business. Sanford-Brown also operates the Sanford-Brown Institute in 
Cleveland, Ohio. The Sanford-Brown Institute was formerly an Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School and was acquired by Sanford-Brown from Ultrasound Technical 
Services, Inc. on March 14, 1996 and, like the Ultrasound Diagnostic Schools 
described herein, offers healthcare courses in General Ultrasound and 
Cardiovascular Technology. 

   Sanford-Brown's student enrollment has grown from 1,294 at March 31, 1994 
to 1,659 at March 31, 1996. During the same period, on a pro forma basis, 
revenues and income from operations have grown from $14.1 million to $16.3 
million and $1.8 million to $2.1 million, respectively. 

   Sanford-Brown's practical nursing program is the largest in the State of 
Missouri, enrolling approximately 350 students each year. Sanford-Brown's 
associate degree nursing program enrolls approximately 290 students each 
year. All of Sanford-Brown's nursing programs are fully accredited by the 
Missouri State Board of Nursing. Upon completion of the nursing program, the 
student is considered a graduate nurse and is eligible to apply to the 
Missouri State Board of Nursing to take either the Licensed Practical Nurse 
or Registered Nurse licensure examination. The Company plans to offer 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School's General Ultrasound and Cardiovascular 
Technology programs at the Sanford-Brown Des Peres, Missouri school; and 
based on its evaluation of the market, may offer these programs at other 
Sanford-Brown schools. 

   Sanford-Brown is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Independent 
Colleges and Schools, and is a candidate for accreditation by the North 
Central Association ("NCA"). The NCA candidacy status will allow 
Sanford-Brown to issue regionally accredited associate's degrees, giving a 
student the ability to transfer credits earned at Sanford-Brown toward a 
baccalaureate degree at many four year colleges. At present, there is only 
one proprietary school in Missouri that is fully accredited by NCA. 

   Tuition rates for Sanford-Brown programs range from $10,965 for its legal 
office assistant program to $16,320 for its physical therapy program. 

   During the most recent year ended March 31, 1996, approximately 1,058 
students graduated from Sanford-Brown. The overall completion rate of 
Sanford-Brown's students is approximately 77% and the completion rate of the 
students in its healthcare programs exceeds 90%. 

  ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC SCHOOL 

   Ultrasound Diagnostic School's General Ultrasound Program ("GUS") teaches 
its students to become diagnostic medical sonographers. Management believes 
that the Ultrasound Diagnostic School 

                                        6
<PAGE>
teaches more students to become ultrasound technologists for the field of
diagnostic medical ultrasound than any other school in the United States.
Medical ultrasound employs harmless high frequency sound waves to form a picture
of the internal organs of the body. Diagnostic medical ultrasound is employed in
various medical specialties, including obstetrics, gynecology, cardiology,
internal medicine, oncology and ophthalmology. The general ultrasound program
consists of 645 hours of classroom and laboratory study and 560 hours of
clinical study at a healthcare facility. The tuition for the general ultrasound
program is $11,495.

   At March 31, 1996, Ultrasound Diagnostic School consisted of 14 teaching 
facilities: three in New York, three in Florida, two in Pennsylvania, two in 
Texas and one each in Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey. Of the 
14 facilities, three began operations in fiscal 1993 and one began operations 
in fiscal 1994. The fourteen facilities are organized into four main 
campuses--Carle Place, N.Y., Elmsford, N.Y., New York City, N.Y. and Iselin, 
N.J. 

   The Company believes that it can more effectively use Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School's existing resources, increase revenues and generate 
profits by expanding the healthcare programs offered by Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School. As a result, primarily during fiscal 1996, Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School added two major programs to its curriculum offerings: Cardiovascular 
Technology and Medical Assisting. 

   The Cardiovascular Technology program provides concentrated study and 
practical experience in non-invasive cardiac procedures such as EKG, stress 
testing, Holter Monitor, echocardiography and vascular testing. The 
Cardiovascular Technology program is comprised of 544 hours of classroom and 
laboratory study and 480 hours of clinical training at a healthcare facility. 

   Tuition for the Cardiovascular Technology program is $9,700. Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School began offering the Cardiovascular Technology program in 
September 1994; by fiscal year end, seven Ultrasound Diagnostic School 
facilities had begun offering the program. The Cardiovascular Technology 
programs are now offered in 12 Ultrasound Diagnostic School locations and 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School expects to be approved to offer the 
Cardiovascular Technology program in all of its locations during fiscal 1997. 

   The second major program added to the Ultrasound Diagnostic School 
curriculum in fiscal 1996 was Medical Assisting. Medical assistants are basic 
health care employees with broad responsibilities. The Medical Assisting 
program provides concentrated study and practical experience in routine front 
office administrative skills and clinical capabilities performed in a primary 
healthcare setting. The program teaches patient scheduling, insurance billing 
and reimbursement, medical computer systems, basic on-site laboratory tests, 
patient history, vital signs, sterile procedures, diet and medication. The 
Medical Assisting program consists of 720 hours of classroom and laboratory 
study and 180 hours of clinical training at a healthcare facility. 

   Tuition for the Medical Assisting program is $8,100. The Medical Assisting 
program was first offered at an Ultrasound Diagnostic School facility in 
December of 1994. At March 31, 1995, the course was being offered at two 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School facilities. The Medical Assisting program is now 
being offered in 11 locations and Ultrasound Diagnostic School expects to be 
approved to offer the Medical Assisting program at all of its locations 
during fiscal 1997. 

   Enrollment at Ultrasound Diagnostic School grew from 724 at March 31, 1994 
to 1,950 at March 31, 1996. During the same period, revenues grew from $6.2 
million to $15.0 million. Income (loss) from operations for fiscal 1994 and 
1996 was $316,000 and $(582,000), respectively. The significant revenue 
growth has been followed by losses from operations primarily due to the fact 
that implementing the new programs entails a significant cost and expense in 
advance and in anticipation of revenues. In the short term, this has an 
adverse effect on cash flow and earnings. Before a new program can be 
offered, it must be approved by the State in which the program is to be 
offered, and under certain circumstances, by the United States Department of 
Education. The Cardiovascular Technology and Medical Assisting programs have 
been approved in seven of the eight states in which the 

                                        7
<PAGE>
Ultrasound Diagnostic School operates. The Cardiovascular Technology and Medical
Assisting programs also required equipment and systems that are not required for
the general ultrasound program, and, hence, were not available at the various
Ultrasound Diagnostic School facilities. Moreover, in order to offer the Medical
Assisting program, more space was required at various Ultrasound Diagnostic
School facilities. Accordingly, Ultrasound Diagnostic School has been acquiring
additional equipment and systems, expanding various of its teaching facilities,
hiring additional staff and increasing its marketing and sales efforts in order
to offer the Cardiovascular Technology and Medical Assisting programs.

   The Ultrasound Diagnostic School programs are not degree granting 
programs. Rather, graduates receive a certificate or diploma. However, the 
Program on Non Collegiate Sponsored Instruction of the American Council on
Education ("ACE") evaluated the general ultrasound program and recommended that
universities and colleges give Ultrasound Diagnostic School graduates up to 36
college credits towards a baccalaureate degree. Whitman's strategy is to obtain
college credit recommendations from ACE for all Ultrasound Diagnostic School
courses or, to the extent possible, convert all courses to degree granting.
Descriptions of the Ultrasound Diagnostic School courses appear in the National
Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs, published annually by ACE.

   The Company also plans to offer Ultrasound Diagnostic School's general 
ultrasound programs at Sanford-Brown, and to offer certain Sanford-Brown 
courses at Ultrasound Diagnostic School teaching facilities. In March 1996, 
the Ultrasound Diagnostic School transferred one of its schools to 
Sanford-Brown in furtherance of these objectives. 

   In fiscal 1996, Ultrasound Diagnostic School graduated 675 students from 
its various programs. The overall completion rate in Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School programs is approximately 72%. 

  ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES 

   In furtherance of its business strategy, the Company continuously 
evaluates potential mergers and/ or acquisitions. In evaluating candidates, 
the Company considers such factors as earnings history, strategic value, 
reputation, educational offerings and effectiveness, geographic location, 
regulatory compliance, price and financing terms. The Company currently has 
no imminent acquisitions planned. The Company acquired two entities in the 
past 18 months, which entities contributed $25.2 million to the Company's 
fiscal 1996 revenues. 

   ACQUISITION OF SANFORD-BROWN COLLEGE 

   On December 21, 1994, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whitman acquired 
substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sanford 
Brown College, Inc., a Missouri corporation. After the acquisition, the 
seller changed its name to SBC Liquidating, Inc. (now dissolved) and 
Whitman's subsidiary changed its name to Sanford Brown College, Inc. The 
assets acquired consisted principally of tangible and intangible assets owned 
and/or leased by the seller in the operation of Sanford-Brown and the 
liabilities assumed consisted principally of preclosing trade payables and 
accrued expenses relating to the operation of Sanford-Brown. The purchase 
price consisted of $5,900,000 in cash and 609,038 (1,218,076 after adjustment 
for the two-for-one stock split) shares of Whitman's common stock. The number 
of shares delivered at the closing was determined on the basis of a formula 
set forth in the acquisition agreement. The acquisition agreement provided 
for conditions subsequent pursuant to which the transaction could have been 
terminated and rescinded by the Company in whole or in part. Pending the 
satisfaction or expiration of the conditions subsequent, the entire purchase 
price was delivered into escrow at the closing. When the Department of 
Education recertified Sanford-Brown for participation in the Title IV 
Programs in May 1995, pursuant to the agreement, $3,500,000 and 98,282 
(196,564 after adjustment for the two-for-one stock split) shares of 
Whitman's common stock held in escrow were disbursed to SBC Liquidating, Inc. 
The balance of the cash and common stock remains in escrow to be disbursed to 
the sole shareholder of the dissolved SBC Liquidating, Inc. or returned to 
Whitman upon the occurrence or failure to occur of certain events relating to 
Department of Education regulation of Sanford-Brown. A further discussion of 
such events is included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

  ACQUISITION OF COLORADO TECH 

   On March 29, 1996, Whitman completed the merger of MDJB, the sole 
shareholder of Colorado Technical University, Inc., which operates Colorado 
Tech, with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whitman.

   In connection with the merger, Whitman issued 1,249,935 (2,499,870 after 
adjustment for the subsequent two-for-one stock split) shares of its common 
stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in exchange for all of the issued 
and outstanding stock of MDJB. As a result of the change in ownership and 
control of Colorado Tech resulting from the merger, Colorado Tech's 
eligibility to participate in federally funded student financial aid programs 
was automatically terminated. 

   Pending the resolution of the recertification issue and certain 
indemnification obligations, all of the shares issuable to MDJB shareholders 
were held in escrow by Whitman. On June 24, 1996, the United States 
Department of Education recertified Colorado Tech for eligibility to 
participate in federal student loan programs. As a result of the 
recertification and the issuance of the report of the independent auditors 
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 2,499,870 Whitman shares will be 
released from escrow to the former MDJB shareholders. 

  COMPETITION 

   The post-secondary school industry is highly fragmented. Typically, no 
single school or group of schools dominates markets on a local or national 
basis. However, on a local level, each of the Company's schools has varied 
levels of competition. 

   Colorado Tech competes with various educational institutions in its market 
area. The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, the University of 
Phoenix, Chapman University, Webster University and Regis University are all 
located in Colorado Tech's market area. All such institutions represent 
post-secondary education options to that of Colorado Tech. MDJB management 
believes that Colorado Tech has been successful in competing with area 
universities because of its broad range of technically oriented studies and 
degree programs. 

   Flexible course structures, class schedules designed for the working 
adult, and the recent introduction of local-campus doctorate programs have 
solidified Colorado Tech's position as a recognized leading source of 
education in its current market. Colorado Tech believes this provides a 
strong competitive base for expansion and growth in new markets. 

   By offering business degree programs that combine contemporary leadership 
strategies with technical working knowledge, Colorado Tech's business degrees 
offer a unique alternative to the traditional business graduate degrees 
offered by traditional liberal arts and business-oriented universities and 
colleges. 

   In the St. Louis area, Sanford-Brown has 10 competitors which provide 
comparative educational degrees and curriculum, four of which are NCA 
accredited. Sanford-Brown has four competitors in the St. Louis area offering 
comparable healthcare programs. In the Kansas City area, Sanford-Brown has 
two principal competitors to its practical nursing program. 

   In almost all of the geographic areas in which Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School teaching facilities are located, hospitals and community colleges 
operate programs to train medical sonographers. Generally, 

                                        9
<PAGE>
hospitals operate these programs for their own staffing requirements. 
Community colleges and the proprietary and private schools compete directly 
with Ultrasound Diagnostic School. However, there are few proprietary schools 
or community colleges that offer the Cardiovascular Technology program. 
Currently, most of the teaching of this program is hospital based for the 
hospital's own staffing needs. Medical Assisting is a commonly offered 
healthcare program and is not exclusive to healthcare education institutions. 
Both proprietary schools and community colleges also offer Medical Assisting 
programs. 

   A clinical training externship performed at a healthcare center is an 
integral part of each healthcare program offered by Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School and Sanford-Brown. Demand for clinical training sites is great. In 
general, there is a finite number of available clinical sites in a geographic 
area. Increased competition for available clinical sites increases the cost 
and difficulty of procuring such sites. If a facility is unsuccessful in 
procuring a sufficient number of clinical training sites, it may have to 
limit enrollment in the affected program thereby adversely affecting revenue. 

  REGULATION 

   FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATION. Each of Colorado Tech, Sanford-Brown and 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School is subject to regulation (i) by the state in 
which it operates, (ii) by accrediting associations and (iii) because they 
are certified to participate in Title IV Federal financial aid programs, by 
the United States Department of Education (the "DOE"). 

   ACCREDITATION. Sanford-Brown, Colorado Tech and Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School are accredited by accrediting associations recognized by the 
DOE. Accreditation serves as the basis for: (1) the recognition and acceptance
by employers, other higher education institutions and governmental entities of
degrees and credits earned by students; (2) one of the qualifications to
participate in Title IV Programs and (3) the qualification for authorization to
operate in certain states. The withdrawal of accreditation from Whitman's
schools would have a material adverse effect on Whitman.

   STATE AUTHORIZATION. Whitman is required to have authorization to operate 
in each state where it physically provides educational programs. Certain 
states accept accreditation as evidence of meeting minimum state standards 
for authorization. Other states require separate evaluations for 
authorization. Depending on the state, the addition of a program not offered 
previously or the addition of a new location must be included in the 
institution's accreditation and/or be approved by the appropriate state 
authorization agency. Whitman's schools are currently authorized to operate 
in all states in which they have physical locations. If Whitman is unable to 
maintain authorization to operate in the states in which it currently 
operates, it may have a material adverse effect on Whitman. 

   FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS. Whitman derives a majority of its revenue 
from students who participate in Federal Title IV Programs under the Higher 
Education Act of 1965, as amended (the "HEA"), and the regulations 
promulgated thereunder by the DOE (the "Regulations"). In order to 
participate in Title IV Programs, Whitman must comply with complex standards 
set forth in the HEA and the Regulations. Compliance with such standards is 
subject to periodic reviews by the DOE and state and national agencies which 
guarantee the loans made in the Title IV Programs. Disbursements made under 
the Programs are subject to disallowance as a result of such reviews and to 
repayment by the schools. In 1992, in reauthorizing the HEA, Congress imposed 
more stringent standards upon proprietary institutions participating in Title 
IV Programs. The new standards placed proprietary institutions under 
increased regulatory scrutiny. The loss by Whitman of its schools eligibility 
to participate in Title IV Programs would have a material adverse effect on 
such entities. 

   STATE POSTSECONDARY REVIEW ENTITY. The HEA requires each state to 
establish a State Postsecondary Review Entity ("SPRE"), to the extent federal 
funding is available, to review institutions within its state to determine 
continued eligibility to participate in the Title IV Programs. SPRE review 
will be mandatory for institutions meeting specific criteria. At present, 
Whitman operates schools in 12 

                                       10
<PAGE>
states. Each state is required to submit its review standards to the DOE for 
approval. The review standards promulgated by a state could adversely affect 
the eligibility of Whitman's schools in that state to participate in the 
Title IV Programs. 

   THE 85/15 RULE. The HEA requires that an annual comparison be made for 
each proprietary school of the percentage of its Title IV Program receipts to 
its total receipts from Title IV eligible programs. Under the 85/15 Rule, a 
proprietary school will be ineligible to participate in Title IV Programs if, 
on a cash basis of accounting, more than 85% of its revenues from Title IV 
eligible programs for the prior fiscal year were derived from Title IV 
Program funds. Although Whitman believes that each of its schools is in 
compliance with the 85/15 Rule, there is no assurance that such compliance 
will continue in the future. 

   STANDARDS OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. Under the Regulations, each 
eligible institution must satisfy certain standards of financial 
responsibility to continue to participate in Title IV Programs. A failure to 
satisfy the standards could result in restrictions being place on an 
institution's participation in Title IV Programs or a termination of its 
eligibility to participate in Title IV Programs which would have a material 
adverse effect on Whitman. For purposes of these standards, at present 
Sanford-Brown and Colorado Tech are evaluated as distinct entities, while 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School is evaluated on the basis of the financial 
performance of Whitman as a whole. The three principal standards are 
profitability, the acid test ratio and tangible net worth. 

     PROFITABILITY. A school may not have operating losses, as defined by the
     regulations, in either or both of its two most recent fiscal years that in
     sum result in a decrease in tangible net worth in excess of 10 percent of
     the school's tangible net worth at the beginning of the two year period.
     Both Colorado Tech and Sanford-Brown operated profitably in fiscal 1996.
     With respect to Ultrasound Diagnostic School, although Whitman had an
     operating loss for fiscal 1996, the sum of its performance in fiscal 1995
     and 1996 did not result in a decrease in its tangible net worth in excess
     of 10 percent.

     ACID TEST RATIO. A second standard of financial responsibility is the "acid
     test ratio." A school must maintain a ratio of cash, cash equivalents,
     restricted cash and current accounts receivable to total current
     liabilities of at least 1 to 1 at the end of its fiscal year. At March 31,
     1996, Whitman's acid test ratio (applicable to Ultrasound Diagnostic
     School) was 1.17 to 1.00, Colorado Tech's acid test ratio was 1.13 to 1.00,
     and Sanford-Brown's acid test ratio was 1.24 to 1.00.

     TANGIBLE NET WORTH. An eligible institution is required to have a positive
     tangible net worth at the completion of its fiscal year. At December 31,
     1995, Colorado Tech had a positive net worth. At March 31, 1996,
     Sanford-Brown and Whitman each had a positive net worth.

   COHORT DEFAULT RATES. The Regulations also require the calculation of a 
cohort default rate on Federal Family Education Loans ("FFEL") received by 
current and former students to attend the institution. The cohort default 
rate measures the percentage of students who enter repayment in a particular 
fiscal year on FFEL Program loans and default before the end of the following 
fiscal year. If a school's official cohort default rate exceeds 25% in each 
of its three most recent fiscal years, it becomes ineligible to participate 
in the FFEL programs. A school's cohort default rate is published annually by 
the DOE. The most recent official cohort year published was 1993. The 
Ultrasound Diagnostic Schools official 1993 rates ranged from 6%--13%. 
Colorado Tech's 1993 rate published at 12.1%. 

   The HEA gives schools the opportunity to preview their default rates prior 
to publication. This pre-publication review enables schools to make data 
corrections with the guaranty agencies, which guarantee their student loans, 
prior to the release of the official rates. Due to an error in the data 
transmission to the DOE, Sanford-Brown has not currently received an official 
1993 default rate. However, the draft rate for Sanford-Brown's Missouri 
campuses was 30.2%. Sanford-Brown's guaranty agency has agreed to data 
corrections which, if accepted by the DOE, would reduce the official rate 
below the 25% threshold. The draft 1993 rate for Sanford-Brown's Illinois 
campus published at 40.7%. The official Illinois campus rate is expected to 
remain over the 25% threshold. 

                                       11
<PAGE>
   The failure of Sanford-Brown to maintain FFELP eligibility at its Missouri 
campuses would have a material adverse effect on the operations and financial 
condition of Whitman. Its failure to maintain eligibility at its Illinois 
campus, however, may not be material to Whitman. A portion of the purchase 
price paid by Whitman for Sanford-Brown remains in escrow subject to certain 
conditions including Sanford-Brown's Missouri and Illinois campuses each 
maintaining its eligibility in the event its default rate exceeds 25% in each 
of fiscal year 1992, 1993 and 1994. (See "Acquisition of Sanford-Brown 
College"). 

   CHANGE OF CONTROL. A change of ownership in Whitman which results in a 
change in control may result in the school's operated by Whitman becoming 
ineligible to participate in Title IV financial aid programs pending 
recertification by DOE, require reauthorization to operate by individual 
states and could trigger a review by each of its school's accrediting bodies. 

   With regard to the participation in Title IV aid programs of institutions 
owned by publicly held companies, the DOE has adopted the change of ownership 
and control standards used in federal securities law. A change in control 
which would require the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission would result in Whitman's schools becoming 
ineligible to participate in Title IV financial aid programs pending 
recertification by the DOE. A failure to obtain such recertification would 
have a material adverse impact on Whitman. 

   Each of Whitman's school's accrediting bodies and the state agencies which 
authorize Whitman to operate schools have different regulations regarding 
changes in control which could require re-authorization or re-accreditation. 
The failure of Whitman to obtain state authorization or re-accreditation of 
any of its schools subsequent to a change in control would have a material 
adverse effect on Whitman. 

   The change of control of Sanford-Brown automatically terminated the 
participation of Sanford-Brown in the Title IV Programs. After the closing, 
the Company applied for eligibility, and Sanford-Brown was declared eligible 
for participation in the Title IV Programs in early May 1995. Students who 
enrolled in Sanford-Brown during the period in which its participation was 
terminated could not utilize some Title IV funds which they would otherwise 
have been entitled to utilize. Therefore, as a result of Sanford-Brown's 
interruption in eligibility, a portion of the monies due from its students 
were not received and were unrecoverable. This adversely affected Sanford- 
Brown's operating income by at least $353,000. In addition, the period during
which Sanford-Brown was ineligible to participate in the Title IV Programs had
an adverse effect on the cash flow of Sanford-Brown.

   The change of control of Colorado Tech likewise automatically terminated 
its eligibility to participate in Title IV programs. Colorado Tech was
recertified by DOE in June 1996. Colorado Tech's cash flow was not materially
impacted by its period of ineligibility.

  SEASONALITY 

   New and continuing enrollment at Whitman's post-secondary institutions is 
typically strongest during the fall and winter terms, i.e., October through 
December and January through March, respectively. Consequently, revenues 
would normally be strongest during the Company's third and fourth quarters. 
The Company has large fixed costs and incurs its sales marketing costs in 
advance of its enrollment. Consequently, the Company would expect earnings to 
be weakest during the spring and summer terms, i.e., its first and second 
quarters, with the greatest effect in the second quarter.

  EMPLOYEES 

   At March 31, 1996, Whitman had approximately 456 full-time and 192 
part-time employees of whom 76 were employed by MDJB (including Colorado Tech 
and Concept Communications) full-time and 42 part-time; 174 were employed by 
Sanford-Brown full-time and 43 part-time and 201 were employed by Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School full-time and 107 part-time. The remaining employees were 
employed by the Company in it administrative offices.

Ultrasound Diagnostic School, in order to accommodate the offering of 
additional Sanford-Brown programs there. Otherwise, Sanford-Brown believes 
that all of the above-described facilities are adequate and suitable for 
their present and intended uses. 

   Colorado Tech maintains its administrative offices and operates Colorado 
Tech in approximately 80,000 square feet of leased space located at 4435 
North Chestnut Street, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which management 
believes is adequate and suitable for its present and intended uses. In 
addition, Colorado Tech presently intends to lease space in Denver, Colorado 
where it will open a second campus. 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

   An action has been commenced against Ultrasound Diagnostic School in the 
Circuit Court, Fourth Judicial Circuit, Duval County, Florida. The amended 
complaint filed on behalf of 34 current and former students of the Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School's Jacksonville and Tampa schools, alleges that at the time 
each of the plaintiffs registered, Ultrasound Diagnostic School falsely 
represented that almost all of its graduates were placed in positions of 
employment in the field of ultrasound diagnostics and that its students were 
eligible upon graduation to take the examination for the American Registry of 
Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, or that being registered was not a factor in 
obtaining employment in the field of ultrasound diagnostics. The amended 
complaint further alleges that the plaintiffs were induced by these alleged 
misrepresentations to pay a total of over $300,000 in tuition and fees to 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School. The amended complaint seeks an unspecified 
amount of damages. Ultrasound Diagnostic School has filed a motion to dismiss 
the action which remains pending. Ultrasound Diagnostic School intends to 
deny making the alleged representations and believes that it 

                                       14
<PAGE>
has meritorious defenses to the action. The Company cannot at this stage in 
the proceedings assess whether Ultrasound Diagnostic School will have any 
liability in this action and, if so, whether such liability will have a 
material adverse effect upon Ultrasound Diagnostic School or the Company. 
Various plaintiffs have also submitted their complaint to the Florida 
Department of Education which has notified Ultrasound Diagnostic School that 
it has commenced an investigation of the student complaints. 

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS 

   On March 8, 1996, the Company conducted a Special Meeting of the 
shareholders of the Company in Miami, Florida to consider (i) the approval 
and adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 12, 
1995 by and among the Company, Whitman Medical Acquisition Corporation, a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and MDJB, Inc., providing for the 
merger of MDJB with and into the subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"); 
and (ii) the approval and adoption of an amendment to the Company's 
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from Whitman 
Medical Corp. to Whitman Education Group, Inc. Of the 3,285,987 shares of the 
Company represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, 3,258,587 
shares were voted in favor of the Merger, 800 shares were voted against the 
Merger; 1,750 shares abstained and 24,850 shares were not voted. With respect 
to the change in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, 3,278,637 shares 
were voted in favor, 1,900 shares were voted against and 5,450 shares 
abstained.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

   The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with 
the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto 
appearing elsewhere in this report. All prior period consolidated financial 
statements presented have been restated to include the acquisition of MDJB on 
March 29, 1996, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests, as if the 
merger took place at the beginning of such period. The financial statements 
of MDJB have been consolidated based on its calendar year end, December 31. 
In addition, all references to the number of shares outstanding and per share 
amounts have been restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split effected as 
of May 13, 1996. 

GENERAL 

   The Company's operations are conducted through its three wholly-owned 
subsidiaries: Ultrasound Technical Services, Inc. ("Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School" or "UDS"), Sanford Brown College, Inc. ("Sanford-Brown" or "SBC"), 
and MDJB. The revenues generated from these subsidiaries primarily consist of 
tuition and fees paid by students. The majority of students rely on funds 
received from federal financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher 
Education Act of 1965 to pay for a substantial portion of their tuition. 
Accordingly, a majority of the Company's revenues are indirectly derived from 
Title IV programs. 

   Historically, the Company's revenues have increased primarily as a result 
of acquisitions and the expansion of program offerings. From fiscal 1994 to 
fiscal 1996 revenues have increased from $6.2 

                                       17
<PAGE>
million (excluding the restatement for the MDJB merger) to $40.2 million 
(including MDJB). The acquisitions of Sanford-Brown in December 1994 and MDJB 
in March 1996 have generated revenues of $16.3 million and $8.9 million, 
respectively, for the year ended March 31, 1996. In addition, the expansion 
of program offerings at the Ultrasound Diagnostic School during fiscal 1995 
and 1996 is the primary reason for the increase in its revenues from $6.2 
million in fiscal 1994 to $15.0 million in fiscal 1996. 

   The Company continues to regularly review potential acquisitions. The 
consummation of any future acquisitions may result in material changes to the 
Company's financial condition and results of operations. 

   Cost of educational services consists primarily of faculty compensation, 
administrative salaries for departments that provide services directly to the 
students, occupancy costs, costs of books sold, and depreciation and 
amortization of certain equipment costs and leasehold improvements. 

   Student services and administrative expenses consist primarily of 
marketing expenses, administrative salaries, occupancy costs, depreciation 
and other costs for departments that do not provide direct services to 
students.

   Tuition revenues increased by $18.8 million or 107.7% to $36.3 million for 
the year ended March 31, 1996 from $17.5 million for the year ended March 31, 
1995. The increase was primarily due to an increase in student enrollments at 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School, a full year of operations for Sanford-Brown 
reflected in fiscal 1996 as compared with operations from the date of 
acquisition, December 1994, included in fiscal 1995, and an increase in 
revenues at MDJB due to the introduction of the Doctorate programs. The 
increase in student enrollments at Ultrasound Diagnostic School was primarily 
due to the introduction of the Cardiovascular Technology and Medical 
Assisting programs which generated revenues of $2.6 million and $4.7 million, 
respectively, in fiscal 1996, an increase of $2.2 million and $4.7 million, 
respectively, from fiscal 1995. In addition to the difference in the period 
of operations of Sanford-Brown reflected in fiscal 1996, Sanford-Brown 
experienced an increase in revenues in fiscal 1996 due to an increase in 
enrollments in the Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy programs. 

   Other revenues increased by $1.8 million or 82.5% to $3.9 million for the 
year ended March 31, 1996 from $2.1 million for the year ended March 31, 1995 
primarily due to an increase in book sales for Ultrasound Diagnostic School 
as a result of the increased enrollments, and an increase of $1.1 million for 
Sanford-Brown due to the difference in the number of periods of operations 
included in fiscal 1996 and 1995, as indicated above.

</TABLE>

   Cost of educational services increased by $10.2 million or 82.8% to $22.5 
million in fiscal 1996 from $12.3 million in fiscal 1995. The increase was 
primarily due to the direct costs incurred by Ultrasound Diagnostic School to 
support the increase in its student enrollments, the difference in the period 
of operations reflected in fiscal 1996 and 1995 for Sanford-Brown and the 
additional costs incurred by MDJB to support the introduction of the 
Doctorate programs. The additional costs incurred by Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School consisted primarily of an increase in faculty and administrative 
salaries of $2.2 million and increased occupancy costs of $666,000 to support 
the introduction of the Cardiovascular Technology and Medical Assisting 
programs. Sanford-Brown educational expenses as a percentage of revenues 
remained relatively consistent in fiscal 1996 and 1995 at 51.1% and 50.0%, 
respectively. 

   Student services and administrative expenses increased by $8.8 million or 
143.4% to $15.0 million in fiscal 1996 from $6.2 million in fiscal 1995. The 
increase in Ultrasound Diagnostic School expenses of $3.9 million was 
primarily due to the additional administrative support for the increase in 
student enrollments and consisted of increases in general and administrative 
salaries, taxes and benefits of $1.8 million, sales and marketing expenses of 
$680,000, and other administrative expenses. The increase in Sanford-Brown 
expenses of $3.4 million was due to the difference in the period of 
operations reflected in fiscal 1996 and 1995. As a percentage of revenues, 
such Sanford-Brown expenses remained relatively consistent in fiscal 1996 and 
1995 at 28.7% and 29.6%, respectively. MDJB expenses increased $494,000 due 
to an increase in salaries and marketing expenses incurred in connection with 
the introduction of the Doctorate programs and merger expenses of $80,000 
incurred in fiscal 1996. Corporate expenses increased by $963,000 in fiscal 
1996 due primarily to merger expenses incurred in connection with the MDJB, 
Inc. acquisition of approximately $480,000 and an increase in professional 
fees. 

   The following table reflects the activity in the allowance for doubtful 
accounts and bad debt expense for fiscal 1996 (in thousands):

   Bad debt expense increased by $943,000 or 105.6% in fiscal 1996 primarily 
due to an increase in bad debt expense for Sanford-Brown of $791,000. The 
increase for Sanford-Brown was primarily due to the amount of student 
balances that were not funded under the Title IV programs as a result of the 
length 

                                       19
<PAGE>
of time that elapsed before Title IV eligibility was reinstated in connection 
with the acquisition of Sanford-Brown and its related change in ownership 
process. The lack of Title IV funding for such students required a higher 
than normal level of reserve against those receivables. 

   Net interest expense increased $874,000 as a result of having the debt 
incurred in the Sanford-Brown acquisition and the working capital facility 
outstanding for a full year in fiscal 1996 as opposed to approximately 3 
months in fiscal 1995. Sanford-Brown interest expense includes $488,000 
attributable to the bank debt associated with the acquisition. 

   The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $136,000 in fiscal 1996 
due to the reversal of valuation allowances and the recognition of deferred 
tax assets, related to net operating losses. In fiscal 1995, the Company had 
an income tax provision of $122,000. 

   The Company reported a net loss of $100,571 and a net loss of $146,611 for 
the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

</TABLE>

   Tuition revenues increased by $5.3 million or 42.9% to $17.5 million in 
fiscal 1995 from $12.2 million in fiscal 1994. In fiscal 1995 the Company's 
revenues included the operations of Sanford-Brown for the period December 21, 
1994, the date of acquisition, through the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. 
Sanford-Brown accounted for $3.8 million of the increase in tuition revenues 
for fiscal 1995. Tuition revenues for the Ultrasound Diagnostic School 
increased by $1.0 million in fiscal 1995 due to the increased tuition rate of 
the general ultrasound program and to an increase in enrollment in career 
programs attributable to the new Cardiovascular Technology and Medical 
Assisting programs. This was partially offset by an 11% decline in enrollment 
in the general ultrasound programs at March 31, 1995 in comparison to 
enrollment at March 31, 1994. The decline was principally due to the 
cancellation of three classes scheduled to start in fiscal 1995 and to a 
decrease in retention in the general ultrasound program from 91% in fiscal 
1994 to 86% in fiscal 1995. Tuition revenues for MDJB increased $452,000 in 
fiscal 1995 due primarily to the expansion of the Master's programs and an 
increase in corporate training revenues. 

   Other revenues increased by $1.1 million or 118.6% in fiscal 1995 to $2.1 
million from $1.0 million in fiscal 1995 due primarily to book sales 
generated by the Ultrasound Diagnostic School in fiscal 1995 and none in 
fiscal 1994, the inclusion of other educational revenues for Sanford-Brown in 
fiscal 1995 and none in fiscal 1994 due to the acquisition in December 1994, 
and an increase in marketing revenues for MDJB in fiscal 1994 as a result of 
the acquisition of Concept Communications in March 1993.

</TABLE>

   Cost of educational services increased by $3.3 million or 36.1% to $12.3 
million in fiscal 1995 from $9.0 million in fiscal 1994. Such costs increased 
by $1.1 million at Ultrasound Diagnostic School in fiscal 1995 due to 
increases in instructor payroll, administrative and sales payroll, cost of 
books sold, and rent expense to support the introduction of the 
Cardiovascular Technology and Medical Assisting programs and the expansion of 
the general ultrasound programs. In fiscal 1995 books were offered for sale 
to students for the first time. The increase of $2.1 million for 
Sanford-Brown was due to the consolidation of Sanford-Brown operations 
beginning in December 1994. 

   Student services and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million or 
74.8% to $6.1 million in fiscal 1995 from $3.5 million in fiscal 1994. The 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School expenses increased $488,000 in fiscal 1995 
primarily due to increases in administrative payroll, advertising and 
depreciation expense for equipment purchased to support the increase in 
student enrollment. As indicated above, $1.2 million of the increase in such 
expenses relates to the consolidation of operations of Sanford-Brown 
beginning in December 1994. The increase in MDJB expenses of $574,000 was due 
to increases in administrative payroll expenses to support the increased 
student enrollments, primarily in the Master's programs. 

   The following table reflects the activity in the allowance for doubtful 
accounts and bad debt expense for fiscal 1995 (in thousands):

   Bad debt expense increased by $769,000 or 620.2% in fiscal 1995 to 
$893,000 from $124,000 in fiscal 1994. Bad debt expense for the Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School increased by $331,000 in fiscal 1995, in part, to reflect 
the increase in accounts receivable outstanding from students in the 
Cleveland and Dallas facilities. The Cleveland and Dallas facilities were not 
able to utilize Title IV program funds until the fourth quarter of fiscal 
1995 and a number of students completed their programs with substantial 
unsecured, unpaid balances. Ultrasound Diagnostic School evaluated the 
balances and consistently applied its reserve calculation to determine the 
associated bad debt expense. In addition, Ultrasound Diagnostic School 
identified and charged off $262,000 for such students in fiscal 1995. An 
increase of $429,000 in bad debt expense for Sanford-Brown was due to the 
consolidation of operations in fiscal 1995.

   Net interest expense increased by $267,000 or 606.8% in fiscal 1995 to 
$311,000 from $44,000 in fiscal 1994. The increase of $114,000 for Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School and $132,000 for Sanford-Brown is primarily due to the debt 
incurred in connection with the Sanford-Brown acquisition in December 1994. 

   The Company reported a net loss of $146,611 and net income of $352,819 for 
the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in 
earnings for fiscal 1995 was primarily due to costs incurred at Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School for the introduction of the Cardiovascular Technology and 
Medical Assisting programs, and for the expansion of the general ultrasound 
program. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

   Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $2.7 
million, $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company's working 
capital totalled $4.8 million at March 31, 1996, compared to $4.6 million at 
March 31, 1995 and $2.5 million at March 31, 1994. In accordance with 
Department of Education regulations, the Company maintained $363,000 and 
$346,000 in restricted cash at March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, for 
funds to be available for student refunds. 

   The Company's primary source of operating liquidity is the cash received 
from payments of tuition and fees. At Ultrasound Diagnostic School,
Sanford-Brown and MDJB, most students receive some form of financial aid under
the Title IV federal student financial aid programs. Disbursements under each
program are subject to disallowance and repayment by the Schools. In fiscal
1995, the United States Department of Education conducted a Federal program
review on Sanford-Brown's Title IV activity for the award years 1992 through
1994. To date, no report has been issued in that program review. Accordingly, no
determination as to whether a liability exists or the amount of liability,
should one exist, can be made. The asset purchase agreement with Sanford-Brown
provides for the indemnification of the Company for any material liability that
may exist in connection with the open program review. As a result of the program
review, the Department of Education placed Sanford-Brown on reimbursement for
certain Title IV programs, of which the only such program significant to
Sanford-Brown is the Pell Grant program. Management believes that although
reimbursement results in some delay in receipt of Pell Grant funds,
Sanford-Brown will continue to generate sufficient positive cash flow for its
operating requirements. 

   As a result of the merger and the change in control of MDJB, Colorado Tech
had been automatically terminated from its eligibility to participate in Title
IV programs. Colorado Tech was recertified to participate in Title IV programs
on June 24, 1996 and its period of ineligibility had no material impact on the
cash flow of Colorado Tech. Ultrasound Diagnostic School and MDJB have no known
material liabilities for program reviews related to their Title IV programs.
Should the schools be limited, suspended or terminated from the Title IV
programs, from which Ultrasound Diagnostic School, Sanford-Brown and MDJB
receive approximately 70%, 80% and 32% of their funding, respectively, the
result would have a material negative impact on the results of operations,
liquidity and net worth of the Company. The Company will continue to evaluate
the effect of any changes in these contingencies and, as determinable, will
reflect their impact in the financial statements. At present, there are no known
environmental contingencies or issues.

   The Company generated $2.2 million in cash from operating activities in 
fiscal 1996, an increase of $4.3 million and $3.0 from fiscal 1995 and 1994, 
respectively. The increase in cash generated from operating activities in 
fiscal 1996 was primarily due to cash provided from operations of 
Sanford-Brown of $3.0 million, an increase of $4.6 million from fiscal 1995. 
In fiscal 1995, the Company had net cash used for operating activities of 
$2.1 million due principally to the negative cash flow impact caused by the 
decertification of Sanford-Brown in December 1994 as a result of its change 
of ownership. The decertification required that the Company cease awarding 
and disbursing Title IV funds to many of its students pending recertification 
by the U.S. Department of Education. Sanford-Brown was recertified to 
participate in Title IV programs in May 1995. In addition, expenditures were 
incurred to expand Ultrasound Diagnostic School (management, staff, programs, 
equipment and size of facilities) in 

                                       22
<PAGE>
advance of the receipt of revenues from anticipated expanded enrollments in 
existing and new programs. Also, accounts receivable at Ultrasound Diagnostic 
School increased due principally to the increase in the tuition rate of the 
general ultrasound program and to the delay until the fourth quarter of 
fiscal 1995 that the Cleveland and Dallas facilities experienced in receiving 
approval for participation in Title IV programs. At March 31, 1995, accounts 
receivable related to the Cleveland and Dallas facilities was approximately 
$850,000. 

   Net cash of $2.0 million was used for investing activities in fiscal 1996, 
a decrease of $3.6 million from fiscal 1995 and an increase of $1.7 million 
from fiscal 1994. The decrease from fiscal 1995 was due to the net cash 
payment of $5.0 million in fiscal 1995 for the acquisition of Sanford-Brown 
which was partially offset by the increase in the cash utilized for capital 
expenditures in fiscal 1996 of $1.2 million and $1.6 million from fiscal 1995 
and 1994, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures was due 
primarily to the equipment purchases and leasehold improvements incurred in 
connection with the expansion of the general ultrasound program, the 
introduction of the Cardiovascular Technology and Medical Assisting programs 
and the expansion of facilities to support such programs. 

   Net cash of $791,000 was provided by financing activities in fiscal 1996, 
a decrease of $7.3 million from fiscal 1995 and an increase of $639,000 from 
fiscal 1994. The decrease from fiscal 1995 was primarily due to the proceeds 
of $6.0 million received in fiscal 1995 from the long-term loan obtained in 
connection with the Sanford-Brown acquisition. 

   The Company has available bank lines of credit of $500,000 and $1,000,000 
expiring in August 1996 and May 1997, respectively, and a working capital 
facility expiring in October 1997 in the amount of $2,500,000. At March 31, 
1996, the Company had $1,000,000 outstanding under its lines of credit and 
$2,500,000 outstanding under its working capital facility, an increase of 
$1.9 million from the amounts outstanding at March 31, 1995. The amounts 
borrowed under the working capital facility in fiscal 1996 were primarily 
used for capital expenditures at Ultrasound Diagnostic School. In order to 
finance the acquisition of Sanford-Brown, the Company obtained a bank term 
loan in the amount of $6,000,000 which was due on April 16, 1996. In February 
1996 the expiration date of the loan was extended to April 14, 1999. The loan 
and the working capital facility were obtained by the Company with the 
guaranty of Frost-Nevada, a company beneficially owned by Dr. Phillip Frost. 

   The Company issued 2,499,870 shares of its common stock valued at 
approximately $14.2 million as of the acquisition date in March 1996 for the
acquisition of MDJB. In fiscal 1995 the Company issued 1,218,076 shares of its
common stock valued at approximately $3.1 million as of the acquisition date and
paid $5.9 million in cash for the acquisition of Sanford-Brown. Cash of $2.4
million and 1,021,612 shares are held in escrow and will be released upon the
occurrence of certain specified events. The Company intends to continue to
expand through acquisitions, some of which could result in material changes to
the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

   MDJB plans on opening a new campus during fiscal 1997. The Company 
believes that with its working capital, its cash flow from operations and its 
working capital facility it will have sufficient resources to cover such 
expansion costs and its other ongoing operational requirements.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Whitman's 
directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders to file initial reports of 
ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Whitman's common stock and 
other equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the 
American Stock Exchange. Directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders 
are required to furnish Whitman with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they 
file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to Whitman 
and written representations from Whitman's directors and executive officers 
that no other reports were required, Whitman believes that during 1996 
Whitman's directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders complied with 
all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them, except that 
Fernando Fernandez filed late his initial report of ownership of shares of 
Whitman's common stock upon becoming an executive officer of Whitman.

    effected as of May 13, 1996. 

   Randy S. Proto receives an annual salary of $150,000. He has no employment 
agreement with Whitman. In consideration of Mr. Proto's agreement to enter 
the employ of Whitman and become its President in November 1994, Mr. Proto 
was granted options to purchase 550,000 (adjusted for the two-for-one stock 
split effected as of May 13, 1996) of Whitman's Common Stock at a price of 
$2.125 per share (as adjusted for the split). The options granted to Mr. 
Proto vest over a period of five years. The first portion of those options 
(170,000 shares, adjusted for the split) vested on November 25, 1995. 

   The following table sets forth information concerning stock option 
exercises during fiscal 1996 by each of the executive officers named in the

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS 

   Whitman currently occupies administrative offices in Miami, Florida which 
are owned by IVAX Corporation. A lease between Whitman and IVAX Corporation 
is currently being negotiated. Certain directors of Whitman are also 
directors and executive officers of IVAX Corporation. In addition, Dr. Frost 
is a principal shareholder of IVAX Corporation. See "Item 10--Directors and 
Executive Officers of the Registrant." 

   In April 1995, Career Master, a company 40% owned by Randy S. Proto, 
entered into an agreement with Ultrasound Diagnostic School pursuant to which 
Career Master would implement at Ultrasound Diagnostic School its system of 
organizing and operating job placement departments for use at the Ultrasound 
Diagnostic School teaching facilities. In addition to paying a small fee for 
the service, Ultrasound Diagnostic School agreed to purchase, over a two year 
period, approximately $160,000 in text books and related materials from 
Career Master to be resold to Ultrasound Diagnostic School students. In 
connection with the transaction, options to purchase 10,000 shares (20,000 
shares after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split effected as of May 
13, 1996) were granted to a principal of Career Master who is not related to 
Mr. Proto. In fiscal 1996, Ultrasound Diagnostic School purchased $66,621 in 
textbooks from Career Master pursuant to this arrangement. 

   In fiscal 1996, Ultrasound Diagnostic School paid rent totalling $70,800 
for the premises in which Ultrasound Diagnostic School operates its Pompano, 
Florida Ultrasound Diagnostic School to a partnership in which Joseph 
Lichtenstein is a partner. Joseph Lichtenstein is the father of William 
Lichtenstein, the president of Ultrasound Technical Services, Inc. Mr. Joseph 
Lichtenstein is also a principal in the company that manages that building. 
Also in fiscal 1996, Ultrasound Diagnostic School purchased approximately 
$202,600 in medical equipment and supplies from a medical supply distributor 
owned by William Lichtenstein's mother at prices at least as favorable as 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School would have paid to third parties. This same 
distributor is the exclusive licensee of Whitman's change-in-temperature 
indicator utilized in the transportation and storage of blood. Royalties 
received by Whitman in connection with this license are not significant.

   In fiscal 1995, in connection with the acquisition of Sanford-Brown, 
Frost-Nevada Limited Partnership, a company beneficially owned by Dr. Phillip 
Frost, agreed to guaranty for the benefit of Whitman an $8,500,000 credit 
facility consisting of a $6,000,000 term loan and $2,500,000 revolving credit 
loan. In fiscal 1996, Frost-Nevada was issued warrants to purchase 650,000 
shares of Whitman's common stock at a price of $8.50 per share (1,300,000 
shares at a price of $4.25 per share as adjusted for the two-for-one stock 
split effected as of May 13, 1996) in consideration of Frost-Nevada's renewal 
of its guarantee of that indebtedness in connection with the extension of 
that credit facility. The number of warrants exercisable by Frost-Nevada at 
any time is subject to the restrictions of the New Jersey Shareholders 
Protection Act. 

   James Combs, the beneficial owner of the company from which Sanford-Brown 
was acquired and the father of Brett Combs, the President of Sanford-Brown, 
is the beneficial owner of three buildings occupied by 
Sanford-Brown under lease agreements. In fiscal 1996, Sanford-Brown paid Mr. 
Combs rent totalling $428,982.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Whitman Education Group, Inc. 

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Whitman 
Education Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the 
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1996. These 
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 did not audit the financial statements of 
M.D.J.B., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total 
assets constituting 15% in 1996 and 13% in 1995, and total revenues 
constituting 22% in 1996, 40% in 1995 and 53% in 1994 of the related 
consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose 
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to 
data included for M.D.J.B., Inc., is based solely on the report of the other 
auditors. 

   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 and the report 
of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the 
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material 
respects, the consolidated financial position of Whitman Education Group, 
Inc. and subsidiaries at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated 
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years 
in the period ended March 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

BUSINESS 

   Whitman Education Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries' ("Whitman" or the 
"Company") primary business is the operation of degree and non-degree 
granting proprietary schools devoted to career program training primarily in 
the medical, technical, and business fields. The Company's operations are 
conducted through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Ultrasound Technical 
Services, Inc. ("UDS"), Sanford Brown College, Inc. ("SBC") and M.D.J.B., 
Inc. ("MDJB"). The revenues generated from these subsidiaries primarily 
consist of tuition and fees paid by students. The majority of students rely 
on funds received from federal financial aid programs under Title IV of the 
Higher Education Act of 1965 to pay for a substantial portion of their 
tuition. 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Whitman 
Education Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. 
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated 
in consolidation. 

RESTATEMENT 

   The 1995 Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Changes 
in Stockholders' Equity have been restated to reflect $105,500 of additional 
deferred interest expense associated with warrants issued in connection with 
the guarantee of debt. See Note 10. 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

   The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with an 
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

RESTRICTED CASH 

   Restricted cash is invested in U.S. government securities and is 
restricted for payment of student refunds, as required by the United States 
Department of Education (DOE). While the funds are immediately available for 
refunds, they are currently invested. Such cash is restricted for refunds at 
March 31, 1996 as follows: 

MDJB ............   $ 34,026 
SBC .............    174,288 
UDS .............    155,000 
                   ----------
                    $363,314 
                   ========== 

REVENUES, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND DEFERRED TUITION REVENUE 

   Upon enrollment, the Company bills the student for the full contract 
amount of the course, the academic year, or the academic term, as applicable, 
resulting in the recording of an accounts receivable and a corresponding 
deferred tuition revenue liability. The deferred tuition revenue liability is 
reduced and recognized into income over the term of the relevant period being 
attended by the student.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

INVENTORY 

   Inventory consists primarily of books, uniforms and supplies and is valued 
at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO (first-in , first-out) method. 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

   Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not add to the value of the 
related assets or materially extend their original lives are expensed as 
incurred. 

   Depreciation of property and equipment is computed principally by the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging 
from one to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of 
the related leases, which approximates the estimated useful lives. 

DEFERRED COSTS 

   Deferred costs consist primarily of costs associated with the opening of 
new school locations, the expansion of facilities to accommodate new programs 
and the development of new curriculum at existing locations. Such costs have 
historically been amortized on a straight-line basis over thirty-six months. 

   Effective January 1, 1996, the Company changed the amortization period of 
deferred costs from a 36 month period to a 12 month period. The change in 
estimate will be accounted for on a prospective basis and increased 
amortization expense in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 1996 by 
approximately $16,000 and will increase amortization expense in fiscal year 
1997 by approximately $129,000. Had this change in accounting estimate been 
implemented in prior periods, the estimated effect on amortization expense 
for the year ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 would have approximated 
an increase of $2,000 and a decrease of $94,000, respectively. 

GOODWILL 

   The Company amortizes the goodwill associated with acquisitions using the 
straight-line method, principally over a forty-year period. The realizability 
of goodwill and other intangibles is evaluated periodically as events or 
circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amount. 
Such evaluation is based on various analyses, including cash flow and 
profitability projections that incorporate, as applicable, the impact on 
existing Company businesses. The analyses involve significant management 
judgment to evaluate the capacity of an acquired business to perform within 
projections. As of March 31, 1996 and 1995, accumulated amortization was 
$184,951 and $113,762, respectively. 

(LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE 

   (Loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income 
by the weighted average number of common shares, as well as contingently 
issuable common shares to the extent dilutive and common share equivalents, 
outstanding during the period, assuming exercise of all stock options and 
warrants to the extent they are dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

ADVERTISING 

   Advertising expense which is included in "student services and 
administrative expense", amounted to approximately $2,628,000, $1,045,000 and 
$636,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 

   In December 1993, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of 
Position 93-7 (SOP), "Reporting on Advertising Costs." The SOP generally 
requires advertising costs to be expensed as incurred. Adoption of the SOP in 
fiscal year 1996, resulted in a charge of $90,000, which is included in 
advertising expense described above, related to the amortization of the 
prepaid marketing balance at March 31, 1995 for MDJB. Prior to adopting the 
SOP, MDJB's marketing costs were deferred and amortized to expense in the 
subsequent quarter. 

INCOME TAXES 

   Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the 
differences between the financial statements and income tax basis of assets 
and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the 
differences are expected to reverse. 

RECLASSIFICATION 

   Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 
current year's presentation. 

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 and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the 
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS 

   In fiscal 1997, the Company will adopt the provisions of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121--"Accounting for the 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 121 requires impairment losses to 
be recorded on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present 
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are 
less than the assets' carrying amount. Based on current circumstances, the 
Company does not believe the effect upon adoption will be material. 

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 

   In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
123. "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the adoption of which is 
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The new standard 
encourages companies to use the fair value method of accounting for issuance 
of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, 
compensation

cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and 
is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. 
Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies are also permitted to continue to account 
for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but would be required to 
disclose in a note to the financial statements pro forma net income and per 
share amounts as if the Company had applied the new method of accounting. 
Additionally, SFAS No. 123 requires increased disclosure for stock-based 
compensation arrangements regardless of the method chosen to measure and 
recognize compensation for employee stock-based arrangements. 

   The Company currently accounts for such transactions under APB Opinion No. 
25 and has not yet determined if it will elect to change its method of 
accounting for the issuance of stock options and other equity instruments to 
the fair value method, nor has it determined the effect the new standard will 
have on its operating results and per share results should it elect to make 
such a change. 

2. ACQUISITIONS 

M.D.J.B., INC. 

   On March 29, 1996, the Company completed the merger of MDJB, the sole 
shareholder of Colorado Technical University, Inc., which operates Colorado 
Technical University ("Colorado Tech"). Colorado Tech is a regionally 
accredited degree granting institution with one location in Colorado Springs, 
Colorado with approximately 1,600 students enrolled primarily in computer 
science, engineering and management programs. Colorado Tech confers degrees 
at the associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels. 

   In connection with the merger, the Company issued 2,499,870 shares of its 
common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding stock of MDJB. 
The merger was accounted for using the pooling of interests method of 
accounting and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements 
have been restated to include the accounts and operations of MDJB for all 
periods prior to the merger. The Company and MDJB have fiscal year ends of 
March 31 and December 31, respectively.

   In connection with the merger, approximately $560,000 of costs and 
expenses were incurred and have been charged to administrative expenses in 
the fourth quarter of 1996. Merger and acquisition expenses include legal, 
accounting and other costs of consolidating. 

   Colorado Tech is a participating institution under one or more of the 
student financial assistance programs of Title IV of the Higher Education Act 
of 1965, as amended ("Title IV Programs"). The Title IV Programs are 
administered by the United States Department of Education ("DOE"). A change 
of control of a participating institution automatically terminates the access 
of that institution to most Title IV Program funds until recertification by 
the DOE. The closing of the merger terminated Colorado Tech's eligibility to 
participate in Title IV Programs. Approximately 32% of Colorado Tech's 
revenues are derived from Title IV Program financial assistance. Pending the 
resolution of the recertification issue, all of the shares issuable to MDJB 
shareholders are being held in escrow by the Company. If certification is 
granted, 175,000 shares of the 2,499,870 shares issuable to the MDJB 
shareholders will continue to be held in escrow to be utilized to satisfy the 
Company's claims, if any, above a deductible under the indemnification 
provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger. To the extent that no claim 
has been made, the shares shall be held in escrow until the issuance of the 
first independent audit report, following completion of the merger, on the 
combined results of the Company and MDJB. 

   On June 24, 1996, the United States Department of Education recertified 
Colorado Tech for eligibility to participate in federal student loan programs.
As a result of the recertification and the issuance of the report of the
independent auditors included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 2,499,870
Whitman shares will be released from escrow to the former MDJB shareholders.

SANFORD-BROWN COLLEGE 

   On December 21, 1994, the Company completed the purchase of SBC, a 
privately held proprietary business and allied healthcare college. SBC was 
acquired for $3.5 million in cash and $500,000 (196,564

shares) in common stock and contingent consideration of $2.4 million in cash 
and 1,021,612 shares of common stock held in escrow at March 31, 1995. 

   The balance of $2.4 million and 1,021,612 shares of Whitman common stock 
currently held in escrow pursuant to Whitman's acquisition of SBC will be 
disbursed, in whole or in part, to Whitman or the Seller based principally 
upon the Cohort Default Rates for each of the Missouri and Granite City, 
Illinois locations of SBC. The Cohort Default Rate is the rate at which the 
student borrowers entering repayment in one federal fiscal year default on 
repayment of student loans obtained under any Federal Family Education Loan 
Programs before the end of the following fiscal year. Specifically, the 
entire $2.4 million and 510,806 shares of the Whitman common stock retained 
in escrow will be released to the Seller or Whitman based upon the Cohort 
Default Rate for the SBC Missouri locations for each of fiscal year 1992, 
1993 and 1994 (the "Missouri Escrow Allocation"). The remaining 510,806 
shares of Whitman common stock held in escrow have been allocated to the SBC 
Granite City, Illinois location and will be released based upon such 
location's compliance with permitted Cohort Default Rates and other financial 
requirements (the "Granite City Escrow Allocation"). 

   With respect to the Missouri Escrow Allocation, if the Cohort Default Rate 
for SBC Missouri in 1992, 1993 or 1994 is finally determined to be less than 
25%, the Missouri Escrow Allocation will be released to the Seller of SBC. 
If, however, SBC Missouri is decertified by DOE because of excessive Cohort 
Default Rates in 1992, 1993 and 1994, the Missouri Escrow Allocation and the 
Granite City Escrow Allocation will be returned to Whitman; provided, 
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Missouri Escrow Allocation 
will be released to the Seller upon the first to occur of (a) confirmation 
from DOE that SBC Missouri will not be decertified as a result of Cohort 
Default Rates exceeding 25% for the period 1992 through 1994; (b) the receipt 
of an unqualified opinion from a law firm designated by Seller and Whitman 
that, notwithstanding that Cohort Default Rates for the period 1992 through 
1994 are likely to exceed 25%, SBC Missouri will not be decertified by DOE as 
a result; or (c) the mutual agreement of the parties to release the Missouri 
Escrow Allocation. 

   With respect to the Granite City Escrow Allocation, if the conditions for 
the release of the Missouri Escrow Allocation have been satisfied and an 
audit report indicates that Granite City is in compliance with the 85/15 rule 
as prescribed by DOE for its fiscal year ending as of June 30, 1995, 98,232 
shares of Whitman common stock held in escrow shall be released to the 
Seller. Additionally, if SBC Granite City (a) demonstrates compliance with 
the 85/15 rule as of June 30, 1995, (b) has a finally determined Cohort 
Default Rate for 1993 or 1994 of less than 25% and (c) the conditions for the 
release of the Missouri Escrow Allocation have been satisfied, the remaining 
balance of the Granite City Escrow Allocation shall be released to Seller; 
provided, however, if any one of (a), (b) or (c), is not achieved by the 
final determination of the 1994 Cohort Default Rate, the balance of the 
Granite City Escrow Allocation shall be disbursed to Whitman. 

   The acquisition of SBC has been accounted for as a purchase, and the net 
assets and results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated 
financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price has 
been allocated to the assets and liabilities of SBC based on their relative 
fair market value which approximated their net book value. The purchase price 
and expenses associated with the acquisition exceeded the fair value of SBC's 
net assets by approximately $2.4 million which has been assigned to goodwill. 

   In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired assets with a 
fair market value of approximately $6.3 million and assumed liabilities of 
approximately $4.6 million.

   Based on the terms of the escrow agreement, upon the occurrence of certain 
events, the escrow agent will disburse cash and stock to either the seller or 
the Company. If and when the cash and stock in escrow are released to the 
seller, their value will be accounted for as an increase in goodwill.

   At March 31, 1996 the Company has available net operating loss 
carryforwards of $814,000, expiring in the years 2010 through 2011. At March 
31, 1995, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $129,000 for 
deferred tax assets. The reversal of the March 31, 1995 valuation allowance 
and the recognition of deferred tax assets related to net operating losses 
pertaining to the year ended March 31, 1996 resulted in an increase in the 
deferred tax benefit of approximately $448,000 in the fourth quarter.

common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 a share. In fiscal 1994, this 
stock purchase warrant, plus warrants for 320,960 shares held by another 
company beneficially owned by this stockholder, were acquired by a 
partnership beneficially owned by the Chairman of the Board. 

   In connection with the term loan and revolving credit facility, a company 
beneficially owned by the Chairman of the Board provided a guarantee of the 
debt in exchange for warrants to purchase 1,150,000 shares of common stock at 
$3.125 per share, the fair value of the common stock at the date of issuance. 
Deferred interest expense of $280,500 was recorded at March 31, 1995, 
representing the estimated value of the warrants, including the impact of the 
discounted exercise price as described below, which is being recognized as 
interest expense over the loan guarantee period of 16 months. At March 31, 
1996, approximately $9,000 of such costs remains unamortized in deferred 
costs. 

   At the Company's request, the stock purchase warrants to purchase 150,000 
shares issued in 1993 and 320,960 shares issued in 1994, and the warrants to 
purchase 300,000 shares (included in 1,150,000 mentioned above) were 
exercised during fiscal 1995 at agreed upon discounted prices. The stock 
purchase warrant to purchase 150,000 shares, with an original exercise price 
of $2.00 per share and an expiration date of April 1997, was exercised at a 
discounted price of $1.56 per share. The stock purchase warrant to purchase 
320,960 shares, with an original exercise price of $0.78 per share and an 
expiration date of July 1999, was exercised at a discounted price of $0.47 
per share. The warrants to purchase 300,000 shares, with an original exercise 
price of $3.13 per share and an expiration date of January 2000, were 
exercised at a discounted price of $1.755 per share. 

   In connection with an extension of the expiration date on the term loan 
and revolving credit facility, on February 26, 1996, a company beneficially 
owned by the Chairman of the Board provided a guarantee of the debt in 
exchange for warrants to purchase 1,300,000 shares of common stock at $4.25 
per share, the fair value of the common stock at the date of issuance. 
Deferred interest expense of $300,000 has been recorded at March 31, 1996 
representing the estimated value of the warrants, which will be recognized as 
interest expense over the loan period and allocated between the related 
amount outstanding during the period of the guarantee (maximum $6 million 
outstanding for 36 months and $2.5 million outstanding for 18 months). 

   Common stock reserved for issuance under the stock option plans and 
outstanding warrants aggregate 3,660,600 shares.

and 1996, respectively. 

   The Company paid for accounting services provided by an outside accounting

fiscal years ended March 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. 

   During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company 
purchased $202,600 and $290,000 in medical supplies and equipment from a 
medical supply distributor owned by the wife of a former officer and director 
of the Company. No such purchases were made during the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 1994. 

   The Seller of SBC is the beneficial owner of three buildings occupied by

the Seller rent totaling $429,000. 

   In April 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with another company

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

   In fiscal 1995 the Company entered into financing agreements to acquire 
capital equipment totaling $2,190,000. The capital equipment, primarily ultra 
sound scanners, are being used in the new career programs being offered. In 
fiscal 1995, $1,488,000 of capital equipment was financed under the 
agreements. 

   The Colleges operated by the Company participate in various student 
financial aid programs. These programs are subject to respective periodic review
by the United States Department of Education. Disbursements under each program
are subject to disallowance and repayment by the Schools. In fiscal 1995, the
DOE conducted a program review on SBC's Title IV activity for the award years
1992 through 1994. To date, no report has been issued in that program review.
Accordingly, no determination as to whether a liability exists or the amount of
liability, should one exist, can be made, and therefore, no contingency is
reflected. UDS and Colorado Tech have no known liabilities under program reviews
related to their Title IV programs. Should the schools be limited, suspended or
terminated from participation in Title IV programs, from which UDS, Colorado
Tech and SBC receive 66%, 32% and 76% of their funding, respectively, it would
have a material negative impact on the results of operations, liquidity and net
worth of the Company.

   An action has been commenced against the Company's wholly owned 
subsidiary, Ultrasound Technical Services, Inc. (UTS), operator of the 
Ultrasound Diagnostic School, in the Circuit Court, Fourth Judicial Circuit, 
Duval County, Florida. The amended complaint filed on behalf of 34 current or 
former students of the School's Jacksonville and Tampa facilities alleges 
that at the time each of the plaintiffs registered, UTS falsely represented 
that almost all of its graduates were placed in positions of employment in 
the field of ultrasound diagnostics and that its students were eligible upon 
graduation to take the examination for the American Registry of Diagnostic 
Medical Sonographers or that being registered was not a factor in obtaining 
employment in the field of Ultrasound Diagnostics. The amended complaint 
further alleges that the plaintiffs were induced by these alleged false 
representations to pay a total of over $300,000 in tuition and fees to UTS. 
The amended complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages. UTS has not 
interposed its answer in the action. UTS intends to deny making the alleged 
representations and believes that it has meritorious defenses to the action. 
Management cannot at this stage in the proceedings assess whether UTS will 
have any liability in this action and if so, whether such liability will have 
a material adverse effect on the Company. 

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

   The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, 
notes payable and accounts payable and accrued expense approximate fair value 
because of their short duration. The carrying amounts of notes payable 
approximate fair value because the interest rate is tied to a quoted variable 
index. 

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

   On April 19, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock 
split to be distributed on or about May 13, 1996 to shareholders of record on 
April 29, 1996. In addition, authorized shares were increased from 50,000,000 
to 100,000,000. All references in the financial statements to number of 
shares, per share amounts and market prices of the Company's common stock 
have been retroactively restated to reflect the increased number of common 
shares outstanding.

facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to
be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of its
issue.

                                LOST CERTIFICATES

          Section 3. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate to be
issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the corporation alleged
to have been lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new
certificate, the Board of Directors, in its discretion and as a condition
precedent to the issuance thereof, may prescribe such terms and conditions as it
deems expedient, and may require such indemnities as it deems adequate, to
protect the corporation from any claim that may be made against it with respect
to any such certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.


                               TRANSFERS OF SHARES

          Section 4. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the
transferability of shares, if any, upon surrender to the corporation or the
transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate representing shares duly
endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or
authority to transfer, a new certificate shall be issued to the person entitled
thereto, and the old certificate cancelled and the transaction recorded on the
books of the corporation.

                                   RECORD DATE

          Section 5. For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to
notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment
thereof, or to express consent to, or dissent from, any proposal without a
meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of
any other action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date. Such date shall
not be more than fifty (50) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any
such meeting, nor more than fifty (50) days prior to any other action. If no
record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of shareholders
entitled to notice of or to a vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the
close of business on the day next preceding the date on which notice is given,
or, if no notice is given, the day on which the meeting is held. For all other
purposes, if no record date is fixed, the record date for determining

                                      -9-

shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
resolution of the Board relating thereto is adopted. When a determination of
shareholders of record entitled to notice or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new
record date under this section for the adjourned meeting.

                             REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

          Section 6. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the
exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to
receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and
assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall
not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have
express or other notice thereof, except otherwise provided by the laws of New
Jersey.

                              LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS

          Section 7. The officer or agent having charge of the transfer books
for shares shall make, and certify a complete list of the shareholders entitled
to vote at a shareholders' meeting, or adjournment thereof, arranged in
alphabetical order within each class, series, or group of shareholders
maintained by the corporation for convenience of reference, with the address of,
and the number of shares held by each shareholder, which list shall be produced
and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the
inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. Such list
shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine
such list or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders.

   Net loss per share of common stock for primary purposes is computed by 
dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding 
during the period adjusted for common stock equivalents when such adjustments 
result in dilution of earnings per share. The Company has considered all 
common stock equivalents for purposes of calculating fully diluted earnings 
per share regardless of their dilutive effect. Included as common stock 
equivalents for the year ended March 31, 1996, for fully diluted purposes are 
1,021,612 shares issued in connection with the acquisition of Sanford-Brown 
College that remain in escrow to be disbursed to the seller or returned to

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
M.D.J.B., Inc.
Colorado Springs, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of M.D.J.B., Inc.
and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
M.D.J.B., Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, M.D.J.B., Inc.
and subsidiary changed its method of accounting for advertising costs in 1995.
