ended September&nbsp;30, 2013 compared to $124.7 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in cash generated from operating activities between the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2012 and the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2013 is
primarily due to the timing of income tax and employee related payments and student deposits. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Net cash used in investing activities was
$104.5&nbsp;million and $74.3 million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our cash used in investing activities during 2013 was primarily related to the purchase of short-term investments and property and
equipment, partially offset by proceeds received from the settlement of a note receivable. Purchases of short-term investments net of proceeds of these investments was $63.5 million during the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2013. Capital
expenditures were $59.2&nbsp;million and $73.6&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, capital expenditures primarily consisted of ground campus building projects such as the construction costs
for two additional dormitories and an expansion of our food services and library to support our traditional student enrollment as well as purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support
our increasing employee headcount. In 2012, capital expenditures primarily consisted of the construction costs associated with two additional dormitories, an Arts and Science classroom building, a remodel of our student union and a parking garage to
support our increasing traditional student enrollment as well as purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support our increasing employee headcount. In addition, during the first nine
months of 2013 we spent $11.2 million to purchase and refurbish a building that is located less than two miles from our Phoenix, Arizona campus. The University had entered into a preliminary agreement to sell this property upon its completion but
that agreement was not finalized. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.5 million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30,

share-based compensation of $3.7 million were partially offset by $9.0 million used to purchase treasury stock in accordance with the University&#146;s share repurchase program and principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaled $5.0

EBITDA </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense net of interest income, plus income tax expense, and plus depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted for (i)&nbsp;the amortization of prepaid royalty payments recorded in conjunction with a settlement of a dispute with our former owner; (ii)&nbsp;contributions to Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the
payment of state income taxes, which we typically make in the fourth quarter of a fiscal year; (iii)&nbsp;share-based compensation and (iv)&nbsp;one-time, unusual charges or gains, such as litigation and regulatory reserves, exit or lease
termination costs or the gain recognized on the settlement of the note receivable. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions
based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, and our loan agreement requires us to comply with covenants that include performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. All of the adjustments made in our
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are adjustments to items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any
particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period. Royalty expenses paid to our former owner, contributions made to Arizona school tuition organizations
in lieu of the payment of state income taxes, estimated litigation and regulatory reserves, exit costs, contract and lease termination fees, unusual gains from settlements of receivables, and share-based compensation are not considered reflective of
our core performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our current operating results with corresponding historical periods
and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting relative interest expense, including the impact of write-offs of
deferred financing costs when companies refinance their indebtedness), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), the book amortization of intangibles (affecting relative
amortization expense), and other items that we do not consider reflective of underlying operating performance. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties
as a measure of performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to
the adjustments described above. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual, non-routine, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as
an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with and reported under GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from
operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. Some of these limitations are that it does not reflect: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative
to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and only use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure. </P>
