</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution that could occur assuming conversion or exercise of all dilutive unexercised
stock options and restricted stock. The dilutive effect of stock options was determined using the
treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the proceeds received from the exercise of
stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service not yet recognized by the
Company, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when
the stock options become deductible for income tax purposes are all assumed to be used to
repurchase shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. Stock options are not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share when the stock option exercise price of an individual grant exceeds
the average market price for the period. At September&nbsp;30, 2008, all issued and outstanding stock
options were included in the calculation.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In January&nbsp;2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123(R),
<I>Share-based Payment, </I>(&#147;SFAS 123(R)&#148;) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee
stock options and employee stock purchases related to the Company&#146;s Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
based on estimated fair values. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007 and 2008
is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and, therefore, has been adjusted for estimated
forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures
are based on historical experience.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date
of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company has elected to estimate fair value using the
Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model. The value of the portion of the award that is
ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the
Company&#146;s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company&#146;s determination of fair value of
share-based payment awards is affected by the Company&#146;s stock price as well as assumptions
regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not
limited to, the Company&#146;s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual
and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.

Annual Stockholders&#146; Meeting and at the May&nbsp;2005 Annual Stockholders&#146; Meeting to increase the
number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 1,000,000 and 500,000, respectively (as
amended, the &#147;Plan&#148;). A total of 3,000,000 shares have therefore been approved for grants under
the Plan. The Plan was again amended at the May&nbsp;2006 Annual Stockholders&#146; Meeting to authorize a
one-time exchange of stock options for restricted stock by employees (excluding the five highest
compensated executive officers) and to permit restricted stock and cash awards to qualify for
favorable tax treatment under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan provides for
the grant of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, and also provides for the
grant of non-qualifying options and restricted stock to employees, officers and directors of the
Company. Options and restricted stock may be granted to eligible employees, officers or directors
of the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Vesting provisions are also at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. Options may be granted at option prices based at or above the
fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. The maximum term of the options granted
under the Plan is ten years. In 2006, the Company determined that
grants of restricted stock are generally preferable to grants of
stock options.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September&nbsp;30, 2008, most of the Company&#146;s excess cash was invested in tax-exempt money market
funds and a diversified, short-term, investment grade, tax-exempt bond fund to minimize the
Company&#146;s principal risk and to benefit from the tax efficiency of the fund&#146;s underlying
securities. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company had a total of $50&nbsp;million invested in the
short-term tax-exempt bond fund. The investments are considered &#147;available-for-sale&#148; as they are
not held for trading and will not be held to maturity, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;115, <I>Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.</I>
The Company records the net unrealized gains and losses for changes in fair value as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders&#146; equity. Realized gains and losses from the
sale of marketable securities are based on the specific identification method.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company periodically evaluates whether any declines in the fair value of investments are
other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of a review of several factors, including but not
limited to: the length of time and extent that a security has been in an unrealized loss position;
the existence of an event that would impair the issuer&#146;s future earnings potential; the near-term
prospects for recovery of the market value of a security; and the intent and ability of the Company
to hold the security until the market value recovers. Declines in value below cost for investments
where it is considered probable that all contractual terms of the investment will be satisfied, due
primarily to changes in market demand (and not because of increased credit risk), and where the
Company intends and has the ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow
a market recovery, are not assumed to be other-than-temporary.

adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits was recognized. The amount of
unrecognized tax benefits at the adoption date of January&nbsp;1, 2007 and at September&nbsp;30, 2008 was
immaterial. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in
income tax expense. As of September&nbsp;30, 2008, the amount of accrued interest related to uncertain

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the third quarter of 2008, the Company generated $87.0&nbsp;million in revenue, an increase of 25%
compared to the same period in 2007, as a result of average enrollment growth of 20% and a 5%
tuition increase at the beginning of 2008. Income from operations was $18.3&nbsp;million for the third
quarter of 2008, an increase of 40% compared to the same period in 2007. Net income was $11.8
million in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 27%, compared to the same period in 2007.
Diluted earnings per share was $0.83 for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $0.64 for the same
period in 2007, an increase of 30%.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">the same term in 2007. Across the Strayer University campus and online system, new student
enrollments increased 17% and continuing student enrollments increased 21%. Global online
enrollments increased 51%. Students taking 100% of their classes online (including campus based
students) increased 23%. The total number of students taking at least one course online in the
2008 summer term increased 22% to 25,166.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Revenues</I>. Revenues increased 25% to $87.0&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2008 from $69.8&nbsp;million
in the third quarter of 2007 principally due to a 20% increase in average enrollment and a 5%
tuition increase implemented at the beginning of 2008. The Company has announced a similar tuition
increase effective January&nbsp;2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Instruction and educational support expenses. </I>Instruction and educational support expenses
increased $4.3&nbsp;million, or 16%, to $30.5&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2008 from $26.2&nbsp;million in
the third quarter of 2007. This increase was principally due to direct costs necessary to support
the increase in student enrollments, including faculty compensation, related academic staff
salaries, and campus facility costs, which increased $1.5&nbsp;million, $0.1&nbsp;million, and $1.2&nbsp;million,
respectively. Instruction and educational support expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased
to 35.1% in the third quarter of 2008 from 37.6% in the third quarter of 2007 largely attributable
to faculty costs growing at a lower rate than tuition revenue.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Selling and promotion expenses. </I>Selling and promotion expenses increased $4.9&nbsp;million, or 27%, to
$23.0&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2008 from $18.1&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2007. This
increase was principally due to the direct costs required to build the Strayer University brand and
to attract prospective students, and the addition of admissions personnel, particularly at new
campuses. Selling and promotion expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 26.4% in the
third quarter of 2008 from 25.9% in the third quarter of 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>General and administration expenses. </I>General and administration expenses increased $2.8&nbsp;million, or
22%, to $15.2&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2008 from $12.4&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2007.
This increase was principally due to increased employee compensation and related expenses, and
higher bad debt expense, which increased $1.5&nbsp;million and $0.7&nbsp;million, respectively. General and
administration expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly to 17.5% in the third
quarter of 2008 from 17.8% in the third quarter of 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Income from operations. </I>Income from operations increased $5.2&nbsp;million, or 40%, to $18.3&nbsp;million in
the third quarter of 2008 from $13.1&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2007 due to the aforementioned
factors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Investment and other income. </I>Investment and other income decreased $0.9&nbsp;million, or 49%, to $0.9
million in the third quarter of 2008 from $1.8&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease
was mostly attributable to lower investment yields as well as lower average cash and investment
balances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Provision for income taxes. </I>Income tax expense increased $1.9&nbsp;million, or 33%, to $7.4&nbsp;million in
the third quarter of 2008 from $5.5&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2007, primarily due to the
increase in income before taxes attributable to the factors discussed above. The Company&#146;s
effective tax rate was 38.6% for the third quarter of 2008, an increase compared to 37.4% for the
third quarter of 2007, resulting primarily from lower income from investments in tax-exempt
securities.

compensation and related expenses, higher information technology expenses, and higher bad debt
expense, which increased $2.7&nbsp;million, $0.9&nbsp;million, and $1.1&nbsp;million, respectively. General and
administration expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 15.8% in the nine months ended

recognized in 2008.

million compared to $171.3&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007 and $162.4&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2007.
Most of the Company&#146;s excess cash is invested in tax-exempt money market funds and a diversified,
short-term, investment grade, tax-exempt bond fund to minimize the Company&#146;s principal risk and to
benefit from the tax efficiency of the funds&#146; underlying securities. During the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company sold its investment in the short-term, tax exempt bond fund, which
resulted in a gain before tax of $0.8&nbsp;million. During the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008,
the Company invested $50&nbsp;million in the same fund. At September&nbsp;30, 2008, the 550 issues in this
fund had an average credit rating of AA, an average maturity of 1.2&nbsp;years and an average duration
of 1.1&nbsp;years, as well as an average yield to maturity of 3.8%. The Company had no debt as of
December&nbsp;31, 2007 and September&nbsp;30, 2008.

quarterly dividends totaling $16.0&nbsp;million ($0.375 per share for each dividend) and a special
dividend of $28.9&nbsp;million ($2.00 per share). Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company
will increase the annual dividend from $1.50 to $2.00 per share, or from $0.375 to $0.50 per share
quarterly. The Company also received $10.6&nbsp;million upon the exercise of 223,000 stock options.
During the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company invested $10.0&nbsp;million for the
repurchase of 45,600 shares of stock at an average price of $218.92 per share as part of a
previously announced stock repurchase authorization. The Company&#146;s remaining authorization for
stock repurchases was $2.6&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2008, having invested $79.3&nbsp;million for
repurchases in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. On October&nbsp;28, 2008, the Company&#146;s Board
of Directors amended the share repurchase program to authorize the repurchase of up to $100&nbsp;million
