- Net cash flows provided by operating
activities totaled $114.8 million for the year to date ended

of Title IV funds of approximately $30 million and the continued
use of Company funds being extended to an increasing number of
students in the form of extended payment plans.
- Capital expenditures increased to $47.9
million during the year to date ended June 30, 2011, from
$43.2 million during the year to date ended June 30, 2010.

INTERNAL INVESTIGATION REGARDING PLACEMENT RATES
Career Education Corporation has identified improper practices
at certain of its health education segment campuses relating to the
determination of reported placement rates. The company recently
discovered these practices in preparing its response to the
previously disclosed subpoena issued to the company by the New York
Attorney General on May 17, 2011. Career Education’s Board of
Directors has directed outside independent legal counsel Dewey
& LeBoeuf to undertake a thorough investigation of these
practices. In addition, independent counsel has been directed to
review the determination of student placements at all of the
company’s domestic schools. The company will implement remedial
measures based on the results of independent counsel’s
investigation. Results of the investigation will be reported to the
New York Attorney General and other relevant accrediting and
governmental bodies, as appropriate.
“The integrity of Career Education and its schools is paramount.
I am greatly disappointed that some people within our organization
have acted inappropriately and not lived up to the standards Career
Education expects,” said Gary E. McCullough, president and chief
executive officer. “We will take all steps necessary to ensure we
accurately determine and report placement rates in the future.”
