Kansas City, Missouri, February 25, 1997. . . CenCor, Inc. (the "Company") 
announced it received approximately $4,400,000 from Concorde Career 
Colleges, Inc. ("Concorde") as payment in full of all of Concorde's debt
obligations owed to the Company and as redemption in full of the Concorde 
Class A Preferred Stock held by the Company.  In exchange, the Company 
agreed to release Concorde from all liabilities and obligations under its 
agreements with Concorde.  The release, however, did not relieve Concorde 
from providing substitute student receivables received in exchange of 
accured interest of which approximately $320,000 is currently outstanding.

The obligations of Concorde to the Company consisted of a junior secured 
debenture in the principal amount of $2.4 million, due July 31, 1997, and 
an unsecured obligation in the amount of approximately $190,000.  The 
Preferred Stock consisted of 233,817 shares of Concorde Class A Preferred 
Stock, $.10 par value, with a per share liquidation preference of $10.00.  
The debenture also would have entitled the Company to receive a payment 
from Concorde equal to 25% of the amount of Concorde's market capitali-
zation in excess of $3.5 million on August 31, 1997.  The Preferred Stock
had no mandatory redemption date but was redeemable by Concorde, in whole
or in part, at any time at the Preferred Stock's liquidation value, plus 
accrued cumulative dividends.



The payments were received pursuant to a recently amended Restructuring, 
Security and Guaranty Agreement with Concorde which was negotiated by the 
Company's Special Committee, consisting of its outside directors.
