In connection with the review of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, the Company had discussions with Staff members of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the May 2005 change in policy with respect to revenue recognition in the United Kingdom. The Company elected to amend its policy in the United Kingdom with respect to the acceptance of students allowed to take courses subsequent to the expiration of the contract the Company had with the student.
In order to apply its new revenue recognition policies, the Company will delay its announcement of financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Subsequently, the Company will amend and refile its Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 consistent with the new revenue recognition policies.
