STRAYER EDUCATION, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INFORMATION AS OF MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED.
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. The
accompanying 1997 and 1998 financial statements include the accounts
of Strayer Education, Inc. (the Company), Strayer University, Inc.
(the University), Education Loan Processing, Inc. (ELP) and
Professional Education, Inc. (Pro Ed), collectively referred to
herein as the "Company" or "Companies."
During 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 3-for-2
stock split effected by way of a 50 percent stock dividend. The stock
dividend was paid on November 18, 1997 to stockholders of record on
November 4, 1997. All share and per share information in this report
has been changed to give effect to this stock split.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full fiscal year. All information as of March 31, 1998, and
for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contains all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Companies.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's December 31, 1997 Annual Report.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130) effective March 31,
1998, which requires additional reporting with respect to certain
changes in assets and liabilities that previously were reported in
stockholders' equity. Accordingly, the Company has included
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998 respectively.

2. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The University is a proprietary accredited institution of higher
education that provides undergraduate and graduate degrees in various
fields of study through its nine campuses in the District of
Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. In January 1998, Strayer College,
Inc. was granted University status by the Education Licensure
Committee of The District of Columbia. Subsequently, Strayer College
changed its name to Strayer University.
ELP is a finance company that purchases and services student loans,
principally for the University. For purposes of the consolidated
balance sheets, all of ELP's assets and liabilities have been
classified as current assets and liabilities with the exception of
student loans receivable, which have been classified as noncurrent
consistent with industry practice.
3. INCOME PER SHARE
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128) effective December 31, 1997. All
prior period net income per share amounts have been restated to
comply with the provisions of FAS 128. Basic earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnimgs per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common
potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, determined
as follows.
1997 1998
---- ----
Weighted average shares outstanding used to
compute basic earnings per share.................. 14,175 15,554
Incremental shares issuable upon the
assumed exercise of stock options................. 523 493
-------- --------
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per
share............................................. 14,698 16,047
Incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding
stock options are computed using the average market price during the
related periods.
4. CREDIT FACILITY
On March 31, 1997, the Company obtained a credit facility from a bank
in the amount of $10.0 million. Interest on any borrowings under the
facility will accrue at an annual rate not to exceed 0.75% above the
London Interbank Offered Rate. The Company does not pay a fee for
this facility, but in the event of any borrowings, an origination fee
of 1% will be due on the amounts borrowed from time to time
thereunder.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain of the statements included in this "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as
well as elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking
statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that
could cause the actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by such statements.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
Revenues. Revenue increased 22.3% from $13.8 million in the first
quarter of 1997 to $16.8 million in the first quarter of 1998, principally due
to a 17% enrollment increase and a 5% tuition increase effective for 1998.
Instruction and educational support expenses. Instruction and
educational support expenses increased 13.7% from $4.6 million in the first
quarter of 1997 to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 1998. A salary increase
of 5% during the 1998 period and an increase in the number of full-time and
part-time instructors account for the increase.
Selling and promotion expenses. Selling and promotion expenses
increased 12.3% from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $1.4 million
in the first quarter of 1998, due to an increase in advertising costs,
particularly for television advertising, increased advertising related to the
opening of a new campus in Maryland, and an increase in the number of admissions
representatives in Maryland and personnel in the University's Corporate Outreach
Program.
General and administration expenses. General and administration
expenses increased 37.6% from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $2.2
million in the first quarter of 1998, principally due to an increase in costs
associated with two new campus openings scheduled for September, 1998.
Income from operations. Operating income increased $1.7 million, or
26.6%, from $6.4 million in the first quarter of 1997 to $8.1 million in the
first quarter of 1998. The increase was due to the aforementioned factors.
Investment and other income. Investment and other income increased
$150,000 , or 29.2%, from $514,000 in the first quarter of 1997 to $664,000 in
the first quarter of 1998. The increase was due to additional interest income
received on invested funds.
Net income. Net income increased $1.2 million, or 28.6%, from $4.2
million in the first quarter of 1997 to $5.4 million in the first quarter of
1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company generated
cash from operating activities of $8.8 million. Net cash used in investing
activities was $4.1 million, principally for property and equipment
acquisitions. Dividends accounted for substantially all of the cash used in
financing activities. The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities aggregating $57.6 million, cash generated from
operating activities and, if necessary, cash borrowed under the credit facility
will be sufficient to meet the Company's requirements for at least the next 24
months. If the University decides to purchase additional campus facilities, it
may finance such acquisitions with indebtedness.
Strayer Education, Inc. is in the process of assessing and repairing
its computer applications to ensure their functionality with respect to the
"year 2000" millenium change. At present, Strayer Education does not anticipate
that material incremental costs will be incurred in any single future year.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's
historical operations.
