EduTrek International, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. These unaudited financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting of only normal, recurring accruals, which EduTrek International,
Inc. (the "Company") considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and the results of operations for these periods.
The results of operations for three months ended August 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending
May 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
notes thereto for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997 included in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and related
prospectus as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company effected a 7 for 1 stock split in June 1997. All share and per
share information in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements has been restated to reflect the stock split as if it had occurred
as of the earliest period presented.
Note 2 - Acquisition
The Company, formerly known as E Holdings, Inc., was organized by Mr. Steve
Bostic, the Company's current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, on July
1, 1996 for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of EduTrek
Systems, Inc. ("EduTrek Systems") (a company also controlled by Mr. Bostic),
American European and American College in London, Ltd. U.S., as well as 85%
of the membership interests of American European Middle East Corporation,
L.L.C. ("AEMEC" which, together with American European and American College
in London, Ltd., U.S. are collectively referred to herein as the
"Predecessor"). On October 8, 1996, the Company acquired the capital stock
and membership interests of the Predecessor which, prior to its acquisition,
operated The American College. The purchase price for the acquisition of the
Predecessor was approximately $38.0 million. Also on October 8, 1996, the
Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EduTrek
Systems for an aggregate of 105,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and
1,995,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.
The Company did not acquire the Predecessor until October 8, 1996.
Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company for the period from July
1, 1996 through August 31, 1996 do not include the Predecessor. EduTrek
Systems is included in the financial statements of the Company from July 1,
1996, the date of the Company's formation, in a manner similar to a pooling
of interests.
4
Note 3 - Basis for Pro Forma Presentation
Assumes that the Company was formed on June 1, 1996 and gives effect to the
acquisitions of the Predecessor and EduTrek Systems as if such acquisitions had
occurred on June 1, 1996.
The pro forma adjustments and adjustments for the Offering detailed below
reflect (i) the elimination of identifiable nonrecurring actual costs
incurred by the Predecessor in the period from June 1 to August 31, 1996 as a
result of the acquisition of the Predecessor by the Company, (ii) the
addition of identifiable actual costs which would have been incurred by the
Company to replace certain of the eliminated costs resulting from the
ownership change and (iii) the impact on income taxes resulting from the
change to C Corporation status from the Predecessor's S Corporation status
for income tax purposes.
General and administrative expenses were adjusted to eliminate $40,000
in net expenses relating to the addition of Company expenses of $414,000
for staff, office space and EduTrek Systems less elimination of Predecessor
expenses of $454,000 for staff, office space and expenses relating to
assets purchased by a selling shareholder of the Predecessor.
Amortization of goodwill was adjusted by the addition of $252,000 to
reflect the effect of goodwill amortization for the three month period.
Interest expense was adjusted by the net addition of $737,000 to reflect
the effect of debt relating to the acquisition of the Predecessor by the
Company less the elimination of debt paid in full at the date of
acquisition.
Other income - net was adjusted by the elimination of $82,000 of interest
income from shareholder notes paid in full at the date of acquisition.
Provision for income taxes was adjusted by $423,000 to give effect to the
loss of the Predecessor and EduTrek Systems during the period. Prior to the
acquisition both were S Corporations and, therefore, had no federal tax
obligations.
Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding of 8,271,008 include 665,000
of Class A Common Stock and 6,335,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issued
and outstanding at the date of acquisition adjusted for all outstanding
warrants and options (1,271,008) with respect to Class A Common Stock. The
number of shares outstanding from the assumed exercise of all warrants and
stock options is measured under the treasury stock method.
Note 4 - Subsequent Events
On September 29, 1997, EduTrek International, Inc. completed an initial
public offering of 2,990,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, of which
2,732,890 shares were sold by the Company, including 390,000 shares sold as
the result of the Underwriter's exercise of an over-allotment option, at $14
per share, which after underwriting discounts and commissions and payment of
Offering expenses raised $34,882,000 for the Company. The Company used
$28,571,000 of the proceeds to retire long-term debt and related accrued and
unpaid interest incurred in connection with the acquisition, $620,000 to
repay short-term indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Loan with
remaining net proceeds of $5,691,000 being used for general corporate
purposes, including increased working capital requirements of the Company
resulting from its growth.
As a result of the Offering, (a) shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding
increased by 2,732,890 shares from 922,110 shares to 3,655,000 shares, (b)
shareholder's equity increased $33,922,000, net of the write off of deferred
costs and discounts of $1,599,000 related to the repayment of debt. The
resulting after tax extraordinary charge of $960,000 will be reflected in the
second quarter results.
On September 24, 1997, one warrant holder exercised its option to purchase
444,318 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $.0014 per
share.
Note 5 - Supplementary Net Loss Per Share
Weighted average shares and common equivalents outstanding of 8,271,008 at
August 31, 1997 increased by 2,732,890 in September 1997 as a result of the
initial public offering and the Underwriter's exercise of an over-allotment
option to establish weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding at
September 30, 1997 of 11,003,898. The supplementary net loss per share
information is presented as if there had been 11,003,898 fully diluted shares
outstanding at the beginning of the periods presented.
Note 6 - Contingencies
The Company is a party to lawsuits incidental to its business. Management
believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse impact on the financial condition, operations, or cash flows
of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition
of the Company and the Predecessor should be read in conjunction with the

Statements and Notes thereto and the Predecessor's Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and
related prospectus as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as
well as in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the three months ended August 31, 1997 included in Item 1. Unless
otherwise specified, any reference to a "fiscal year" is to a fiscal year

(a) Because the results of the Company during the period from July 1996
through October 1996 related primarily to the Company's acquisition
activities, were non-operational in nature and were immaterial in amount, and
generated no revenue, the Company has not presented information with respect
to the period from July 1, 1996 through August 31, 1996 as this information
would not be meaningful.
Three Months Ended August 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months
Ended August 31, 1996 (Pro Forma)
The Company was organized on July 1, 1996 for the purpose of acquiring the
Predecessor and all of the capital stock of EduTrek Systems. Prior to the
Company's acquisition of the Predecessor in October 1996, the Company's
operations were de minimis. Because the results of the Company during the
period from July 1996 through October 1996 related primarily to the Company's
acquisition activities, were non-operational in nature and were immaterial in
amount, the following discussion compares the Company's
7
results for the three months ended August 31, 1997 to the Company's pro forma
results for the three months ended August 31, 1996. The pro forma results of
the Company as described herein assumes that the Company was formed on June
1, 1996 and gives effect to the acquisitions of the Predecessor and EduTrek
Systems as if such acquisitions had occurred on June 1, 1996. The period
from June through August is comprised of The American College's (the
"College") Summer I term and one-half of the College's Summer II term.
NET REVENUES. Net revenues increased by approximately $1.4 million or 28.6%
from $4.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 1996 (the "1996 period")
to $6.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 1997 (the "1997 period").
Of the 28.6% increase, 15.9%, or approximately $770,000, was due to an increase
in student enrollment and 5.5%, or approximately $266,000, was the result of an
effective price increase. The remaining 7.2%, or approximately $351,000, was
derived from revenues from the Company's corporate education division, whose
operations did not begin generating revenues until June 1997. All campuses had
increases in net revenues and student enrollments from the 1996 period to the
1997 period. Enrollments for the first and second Summer terms totaled 2,739
in the 1997 period, up from 2,244 in the 1996 period.
COST OF EDUCATION AND FACILITIES. Cost of education and facilities increased
approximately $527,000, or 21.5%, from $2.4 million in the 1996 period to
$3.0 million in the 1997 period. Education costs increased approximately
$352,000, or 25.8%, from $1.4 million in the 1996 period to $1.7 million in
the 1997 period. Of the 25.8% increase, 19.3%, or approximately $264,000,
was due to salary and other cost increases, and 6.5%, or approximately
$88,000, was due to royalty payments associated with curriculum licensing for
the Company's corporate education division, whose operations did not begin
generating revenues until June 1997. Facility costs increased approximately
$175,000, or 16.2%, from $1.4 million in the 1996 period to $1.6 million in
the 1997 period due to rent increases and an increase in the number of
housing students. Cost of education and facilities decreased as a percentage
of net revenues from 50.5% in the 1996 period to 47.8% in the 1997 period
primarily due to greater net revenues being spread over the fixed costs
related to centralized student services.
SELLING AND PROMOTIONAL EXPENSES. Selling and promotional expenses increased by
approximately $286,000, or 28.0%, from $1.0 million in the 1996 period to $1.3
million in the 1997 period. Of the 28.0% increase, 17.7%, or approximately
$181,000, was due to increases in marketing and advertising expenses at the
Company's campuses during the 1997 period, and 10.3%, or approximately $105,000,
was due to commissions paid to salespeople in the Company's corporate education
division during the 1997 period. As a percentage of net revenues, selling and
promotional expenses remained relatively the same at 21.1% in the 1996 period
and 21.0% in the 1997 period.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $704,000, or 45.8%, from $1.5 million in the 1996 period
to $2.2 million in the 1997 period. The increase in costs was primarily due to
additions of personnel at the home office related to new program development.
As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased
from 31.8% in the 1996 period to 36.0% in the 1997 period.
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL. Amortization expenses, primarily goodwill expenses,
of approximately $252,000 in the 1997 period were the result of the October 1996
acquisition of the Predecessor with goodwill costs being amortized over a
40-year period. The pro forma results of the Predecessor for the 1996 period
assume goodwill expenses of $252,000.
INCOME FROM MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Income from the Dubai management agreement
increased approximately $45,000 from a loss of $22,000 in the 1996 period to
income of $23,000 in the 1997 period due to increases in student enrollment.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense remained relatively the same at $927,000 for
the 1996 period and $910,000 for the 1997 period. The interest expense is
primarily due to borrowing costs associated with the acquisition of the
Predecessor in October 1996.
8
OTHER INCOME - NET. There was no other income in the 1997 period, as compared
to other income of $58,000 in the 1996 period, which relates to a nonrecurring
health insurance refund.
SEASONALITY
The Company experiences seasonality in its results of operations primarily as
a result of changes in the level of student enrollments. While the Company
enrolls students throughout the year, first quarter (June to August)
enrollments and related revenues generally are lower than other quarters due
to traditionally lower student enrollment levels in the summer terms. First
quarter costs and expenses historically are higher as a percentage of net
revenues as a result of certain fixed costs which are not significantly
affected by the seasonal first quarter declines in net revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company finances its operating activities and capital requirements
principally from cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from its
initial public offering completed on September 29, 1997, and borrowings under
its revolving loan (the "Revolving Loan"). Borrowings under the Revolving
Loan currently bear interest at 9.5% and are payable quarterly. As of August
31, 1997, the maximum permitted borrowings under the Revolving Loan was $2.5
million of which the Company had borrowed $1.9 million. Beginning on October
1, 1997, the maximum permitted borrowings under the Revolving Loan was
reduced to $1.75 million and on October 1, 1998, the maximum permitted
borrowings under the Revolving Loan will be further reduced to $1.0 million.
As of October 31, 1997, there were no outstanding borrowings against the
Revolving Loan.
On September 29, 1997, the Company raised approximately $34,882,000, net of
underwriting discounts and commission and offering expenses, in its initial
public offering of Class A Common Stock. The Company used $28,571,000 of the
proceeds to repay long-term debt and related accrued and unpaid interest
incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Predecessor and
approximately $620,000 to repay short-term debt outstanding under the
Revolving Loan. The remaining net proceeds of approximately $5,691,000 are
being used for general corporate purposes, including working capital
requirements of the Company resulting from its growth.
The Company experienced negative operating cash flow of $2.1 million for the
1997 period which was primarily the result of an operating loss of $962,000,
a net change in working capital assets and liabilities of $1.7 million,
offset in part by noncash depreciation and amortization charges of $593,000.
The Company's capital assets consist primarily of classroom equipment (such
as computers, software and video equipment), classroom and office furniture,
and leasehold improvements. All building facilities are leased. The Company
plans to continue to expand current facilities, upgrade and replace
equipment, and open new campuses. During the 1997 period, the Company spent
approximately $335,000 to upgrade certain classroom equipment and furniture.
During the remainder of fiscal 1998, the Company intends to make certain
improvements to its campuses including furniture, fixtures and equipment
improvements, computerizing classrooms, and implementing electronic library
systems, at an estimated cost of $2.0 million. Also by December 1997 and
June 1998, the Company plans to implement the Applied Information Technology
("AIT") program in the Atlanta and Los Angeles campus curricula,
respectively. The Company estimates that the total cash required to
implement the AIT programs at such campuses, including computers, software,
leasehold improvements, license fees and other start-up expenses, will be
approximately $2.0 million for each campus that implements the AIT program.
The Company anticipates that the investment and start-up costs of
approximately $2.0 million per campus will be funded primarily from working
capital, the Revolving Loan, proceeds from the September initial public
offering and a credit facility currently being negotiated with NationsBank,
N.A. The Company has received a commitment from NationsBank, N.A. to provide
(i) a $10.5 million line of credit to finance the build-out and start-up
costs associated with the implementation of the AIT program at the College's
Atlanta, Los Angeles and London campuses as well as the cost of relocation
(including leasehold improvements) of the College's Los Angeles campuses and
(ii) a $2.0 million working capital facility which is intended to replace the
Company's current Revolving Loan with NationsBank, N.A. The Company expects
primarily to use cash flow to repay such investment and start-up costs
associated with the implementation of the AIT program over a period of
approximately two years. To support its growth, the
9
Company also is implementing a centralized information system to integrate
The American College's campus operations and financial data including
admissions, financial aid, student services, placement services and default
management. The Company anticipates that the information system will be fully
operational by the end of fiscal 1998 and that it will require approximately
$1.0 million in fiscal 1998 to develop and implement this integrated
information system.
Including the improvements to its campuses, the implementation of the AIT
program into the Atlanta and Los Angeles campus curricula and the development
and implementation of its integrated information system, the Company expects
capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 1998 to be approximately
$6.6 million. While the Company's financing agreements limit the amount of
capital expenditures that may be incurred by the Company, management intends
to seek waivers of or renegotiate on terms acceptable to the Company. To take
advantage of the highly fragmented postsecondary education market and to
expand its international presence, from time to time the Company also plans
to acquire existing schools in favorable locations throughout the U.S. as
well as utilize joint ventures to open campuses outside the U.S. The
Company's ability to fund its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, implement the AIT program, make interest payments, fund future
acquisitions and meet its other cash requirements, depends on, among other
things, internally generated funds, the continued availability of a $10.5
million line of credit and funds available under the Company's Revolving Loan
or the $2.0 million working capital facility which is intended to replace the
Revolving Loan. Management believes that such sources, together with the
remaining net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering, will be
sufficient to meet the Company's capital requirements and operating needs for
the remainder of fiscal 1998. However, if there is a significant reduction of
internally generated funds or if the Company is unable to satisfy the
financial covenants of the Revolving Loan, the Company may require additional
funds from outside sources. In such event, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain such funding as and when required or on
acceptable terms.
Cash flow from operations on a long-term basis is partly dependent on the
receipt of funds from Title IV Programs. Disbursement of funds available
under the various federal student financial assistance programs ("Title IV
Programs") under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended
("HEA") is dictated by federal regulations including, among others, certain
financial responsibility standards. Presently, approximately 27% of the
Company's net revenues is derived from Title IV Programs. Based on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company as of August 31, 1997, the
College does not satisfy either of the acid test ratio or the tangible net
worth test as required under such financial responsibility standards. As of
August 31, 1997, the Company's acid test ratio was 0.11 and the Company had a
negative tangible net worth of approximately $18.7 million. Notwithstanding,
the Company has maintained the College's eligibility to continue
participating in the Title IV Programs by posting an irrevocable letter of
credit in the amount of $3.75 million in favor of the U.S. Department of
Education, which amount is approximately 50% of the Title IV Program funds
received by students enrolled at the College. The letter of credit was posted
on March 19, 1997 and will expire on March 31, 1998. Because the amount of
the letter of credit is based on the amount of Title IV Program funds
received by the College's students, to the extent that such funds have
increased during 1997, the Company may be required to increase the letter of
credit on or around March 19, 1998, the date the U.S. Department of Education
re-assesses the College's compliance with the financial responsibility
standards. The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity to
increase the letter of credit should the U.S. Department of Education so
require. However, there can be no assurance that, if required, the Company
will be able to maintain its letter of credit or increase its letter of
credit in the future. In addition, expenditures required to implement the AIT
program may adversely affect the Company's ability to satisfy these financial
responsibility standards. Because the HEA and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (the "Regulations") are subject to amendment, and because the U.S.
Department of Education may change its interpretation of the HEA and the
Regulations, there can be no assurance that such requirements will not change
in the future.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company does not believe its operations have been materially affected by
inflation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On June 17, 1997, following the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of
Class A Common Stock by one warrant holder, the Company issued an aggregate of
257,110 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$367.30.
The issuance of securities described above was made in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
All of the securities were acquired by the recipient thereof for investment and
with no view toward the resale or distribution thereof. The purchaser had a
pre-existing relationship with the Company or its founders, the offers and sales
were made without any public solicitation, and the stock certificates bear
restrictive legends. No underwriter was involved in the transaction and no
commissions were paid.
(b) Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities
On September 29, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
its Class A Common Stock, without par value (the "Offering"). The managing
underwriters in the Offering were Smith Barney Inc. and The Robinson-Humphrey
Company, Inc. (the "Underwriters"). The shares of Class A Common Stock sold in
the Offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement," registration
number 333-29603). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 1997.
On September 23, 1997, the Company commenced the Offering. The Offering
terminated on September 29, 1997 after the Company had sold all 2,990,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement. Of the
amount registered, (i) 2,732,890 shares were sold by the Company (the "Company
Shares") (390,000 shares of which were sold pursuant to the exercise of the
Underwriters' over-allotment option) and 257,110 shares were sold by one selling
shareholder (the "Secondary Shares"). With respect to the Company Shares (i)
the assumed offering price was $15.00 per share for an aggregate price of the
amount registered of $40,993,350 and (ii) the shares were sold at a price to the
public of $14.00 per share for an aggregate offering price of $38,260,460. With
respect to the Secondary Shares (i) the assumed offering price was $15.00 per
share for an aggregate price of the amount registered of $3,856,650 and (ii) the
shares were sold at a price to the public of $14.00 per share for an aggregate
offering price of $3,599,540.
From the effective date of the Registration Statement to September 29,
1997, the Company paid an aggregate of $2,678,232 in underwriting discounts and
commissions. In addition, the following table sets forth an estimate of all
expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, other than underwriting
discounts and commissions. All of the amounts shown are estimated except for
accounting and legal fees and expenses and the registration fees of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. and the Nasdaq National Market. None of the amounts shown were
paid directly or indirectly to any director, officer, general partner of the
Company or their associates, persons owning ten percent or more of any class of
equity securities of the Company, or an affiliate of the Company.

After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the Offering
expenses described above, net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were
approximately $34,882,000. Of this amount, the Company used $28,571,000 to
repay long-term indebtedness and related accrued and unpaid interest,
approximately $620,000 to repay short-term indebtedness outstanding under the
revolving loan and the remaining amount of approximately $5,691,000 has been
allocated for general corporate purposes, including working capital
requirements of the Company resulting from its growth. None of the net
proceeds of the Offering were paid directly or indirectly to any director,
officer, general partner of the Company or their associates, persons owning
ten percent or more of any class of equity securities of the Company, or an
affiliate of the Company except that, prior to the Offering, the one selling
shareholder in the Offering beneficially owned 27.9% of the Company's Class A
Common Stock (after the Offering, such shareholder no longer beneficially
owned any of the Company's Class A Common Stock). This selling shareholder
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NationsBank Corporation, one of the Company's
lenders to whom the Company repaid indebtedness and related accrued and
unpaid interest of $21,961,250 using proceeds from the Offering.
