                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                      ---------------------------------


July 19, 1996


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Becker CPA Review Course of California, and
the Partners of Becker CPA Review Course, Ltd.


In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
combined statements of income, combined statements of shareholder's and
partners' equity and combined statements of cash flows present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Becker CPA Review Course
(the Course)(see Note 1) at April 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Course's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, substantially all of the
net combined assets of the Course were sold effective June 19, 1996.

                 NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                                               100%
                                                               ====

Profits and losses are shared by the partners in proportion to their
respective ownership ratios.

Becker CPA Review Course of California (the "Corporation")
- ----------------------------------------------------------
This is a California corporation incorporated on May 28, 1965 which operates
schools within California.  The Corporation is owned 100% by Newton D. Becker
and has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation for both federal and state tax
purposes.

At April 30, 1996 and 1995, 40 shares of capital stock, $100 par value, were
issued and outstanding of the 250 shares authorized.

Acquisition by DeVry Inc.
- -------------------------
Effective June 19, 1996, DeVry Inc. acquired substantially all of the net
combined assets of the Course.

<PAGE>11

NOTE 2 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Nature of Operations
- --------------------
The Becker CPA Review Course conducts accounting schools throughout the
United States aimed primarily at preparing students to pass the nationally
administered and centrally graded Certified Public Accountant's (CPA)
examination.  The CPA examination is held twice each year for a 2 day period
beginning on a Wednesday afternoon early in May and November.  Each term is
conducted over a period of four or five months and ends the week before the
CPA examination.  There were 138 school locations in operation during 1996
and 135 during 1995.  Additionally, Certified Management Accountant (CMA)
review courses are offered in May and November.  Newton D. Becker began the
CPA course in 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio.

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

Recognition of Income and Expenses
- ----------------------------------
The first school term for the CPA review course runs from June to October and
the second term from December to April.  Tuition, fees and related costs are
taken into income over the period of each term.  A liability is recognized for
that portion of tuition received from students who may be entitled to a refund
due to their not attending a full term.  As registration for the May CMA course
is conducted during April, all income related to the May review course is
recorded as deferred income as of April 30, 1996.  This balance is recognized
as income over the one-month term of the course.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to tuition accounts receivable is
limited due to the large number of the Course's students base and their
dispersion.  The Course generally does not require collateral from its
students.

Principles of Combination
- -------------------------
The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and
the Corporation described in Note 1.  These entities are affiliated through
substantially common ownership and common management.  In combining the
accounts, transactions and balances between entities have been eliminated.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- -----------------------------------
Financial instruments are valued at cost.  Based on the short-term nature of
the instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of their fair
value.

<PAGE>12

NOTE 2:  (Continued)
- ------
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
For the purpose of the combined statements of cash flows, all highly liquid
debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment
- ----------------------
Depreciation of equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated
useful lives which range from three to six years.  Leasehold improvements are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset's useful life
of five years, or the life of the lease.

Expenditures for betterments and major renewals are capitalized and maintenance
and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  When assets are sold or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss thereon is included
in operations.

Refunds Due Students
- --------------------
The Course recognizes unutilized refunds due to students as income after two
years.

NOTE 3 - RECEIVABLES:
- --------------------
Receivables at April 30 include the following:
                                                  1996            1995
                                                  ----            ----
  Current receivables:
    Tuition accounts receivable                 $616,000        $737,000
    Other receivables                             92,000         116,000
                                                --------        --------
                                                $708,000        $853,000
                                                ========        ========

NOTE 4 - ROYALTY EXPENSE:
- ------------------------
The Partnership pays a royalty fee to Newton D. Becker, based upon its income
before deduction of royalty expense, for the use of instructional material such
as tape recordings and transparencies prepared and continually updated by him.
Under the royalty agreement, the Partnership advances royalty fees to
Mr. Becker throughout the year.


<PAGE>13

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES:
- ---------------------
Effective May 1, 1989, the Becker CPA Review Course of California, a California
corporation, elected to file its federal and California state income tax
returns under the S Corporation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and
related California statute.  In accordance with these provisions, corporate
earnings at the federal level flow through and are taxed at the individual
shareholder level; however, there remains a 1.5% corporate level surtax for
California state franchise tax purposes.  Deferred income taxes are provided
for potential federal and state income tax deficiencies that may arise relating
to years prior to fiscal year 1990.

NOTE 6 - RECEIVABLE FROM/ PAYABLE TO NEWTON D. BECKER:
- -----------------------------------------------------
At April 30, 1996, the Course had advanced $741,000 to Mr. Becker for royalty
fees due.  Other amounts due from Mr. Becker totaled $465,000.  At April 30,
1995, royalty advances totaled $304,000.


NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS:
- --------------------
Payments due under long-term noncancelable leases for rentals of classrooms
and the headquarters in Los Angeles are as follows:

                     1997                 $  871,000
                     1998                    778,000

                     2000                    418,000
                     Thereafter              969,000
                                          ----------
                                          $3,588,000
                                          ==========
Long-term leases generally contain renewal options and provisions for increased
rentals under certain conditions.


<PAGE>14

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
- ------------------------------
The Course has a defined benefit plan (the Plan) covering eligible employees.
Normal retirement age is 65, with provision made for early or late retirement.
Benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation,
primarily during the last five years of service.  The Course's funding policy
is to make contributions as required by applicable regulations.  All Plan
assets are invested in an annuity contract with Principal Mutual Life
Insurance Company.

A summary of the components of net periodic pension cost for the years ended
April 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

NOTE 8:   (Continued)
- ------
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87
(FAS 87), "Employees' Accounting for Pensions", the Course recorded an
additional minimum pension liability at April 30, 1995 of $43,000 representing
the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation.  Also, as provided for in FAS 87,
an equal amount was recorded as an intangible asset.  As of April 30, 1996 no
such unfunded accumulated benefit obligation existed.

The projected benefit obligations at April 30, 1996 and 1995 were determined
using assumed discount rates of 6.25% and 7.0% and assumed 5.26% and 5.23%
rates of increase in future compensation levels, respectively.  The assumed
long-term rate of return on plan assets was 7.00% for 1996 and 1995.

purchase method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded
at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  The unaudited
pro forma combined statement of income combines the results of operations
of Becker CPA for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 with the results of
operations of the Company for  the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, as
if the acquisition had ocurred as of July 1, 1995.

     The pro forma combined statement of income has been prepared by Company
management based upon the financial statements of Becker CPA included
elsewhere herein.  These pro forma combined statements may not be indicative
of the results that actually would have occurred if the combination had been
in effect on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future.
The proforma combined statement of income should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes of Becker CPA contained elsewhere
herein and of the Company contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated
August 22, 1996 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
