| (A) |
With respect to the private education loans as of March 31, 2015, the amount included $9.5 million classified as current, and $76.5 million classified as non-current. With respect to the private education loans as of March 31, 2014, the amount included $7.7 million classified as current, and $75.6 million classified as non-current. |
| (B) |
With respect to the company's Financing Agreement as of March 31, 2015, the amount included $12.1 million classified as current, and $82.2 million classified as non-current. With respect to the company's Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2014, the full $50.0 million was classified as current. |
| (C) |
With respect to the PEAKS Trust Senior Debt as of March 31, 2015, the amount included $26.5 million classified as current, and $35.6 million classified as non-current. With respect to the PEAKS Trust Senior Debt as of March 31, 2014, the amount included $130.7 million classified as current, and $58.8 million classified as non-current. |
| (D) |
As of March 31, 2015, this amount represented the CUSO secured borrowing obligation recorded on the company's balance sheet, $21.0 million of which was classified as current and $96.2 million of which was classified as non-current. As of March 31, 2014, this amount represented the contingent liability amount recorded on the company's balance sheet related to the company's guarantee obligations under the CUSO risk sharing agreement. Beginning on September 30, 2014, the CUSO was consolidated in the company's consolidated financial statements, resulting in the elimination of the contingent liability accrual related to the CUSO risk sharing agreement that the company had previously recorded, and resulting in the company instead recording the estimated amount of the CUSO's obligations to its owners related to their participation interests in the private education loans made under the CUSO program. |
The company also reported that, based on the current status of its efforts to complete the 2014 compliance audits of its institutions' administration of the Title IV programs in which they participate, the company believes that the 2014 compliance audits should be completed prior to the U.S. Department of Education's June 30, 2015 deadline.
Based on various assumptions, including the historical and projected performance and collection of the PEAKS Trust student loans, the company reported that its current estimated payments under the PEAKS guarantee are approximately:
- $30.0 million in 2015;
- $4.2 million in 2016; and
- $14.8 million in 2020.
Based on various assumptions, including the historical and projected performance and collections of the CUSO student loans, the company reported estimates for the regular payments and discharge payments to the CUSO under the CUSO risk sharing agreement (the "CUSO RSA") and for the amount of recoveries from charged-off loans that the company expects to be paid to it by the CUSO (or that the company may utilize to offset a portion of the amounts of regular payments or discharge payments owed by the company) of approximately:

Regular payments constitute the company's obligation under the CUSO RSA to make monthly payments due and unpaid on the CUSO student loans that have been charged off above a certain percentage. |
| (2) |
Discharge payments constitute the payments that the company may elect to make under the CUSO RSA by accelerating the timing of certain guarantee payments under the CUSO RSA that the company would otherwise be required to make at a later date, in order to discharge its guarantee obligations under the CUSO RSA related to certain CUSO student loans that default. |
| (3) |
Includes $2.3 million of Regular Payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2015, which is net of $290,000 of recoveries from charged-off loans owed to the company that it offset against amounts owed by it under the CUSO RSA. This amount assumes that, pursuant to the Sixth Amendment to the CUSO RSA entered into on June 8, 2015, the company elects to defer to 2016 all additional CUSO RSA payments that otherwise would have become due in 2015 after June 8, 2015, which the company estimates will be approximately $6.5 million. |
| (4) |
Includes (a) the Discharge Payment of $2.7 million that the company made on March 19, 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Fifth Amendment to the CUSO RSA, and (b) the Discharge Payment of $6.5 million that the company made on June 10, 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Sixth Amendment to the CUSO RSA. |
| (5) |
Includes $290,000 of recoveries from charged-off loans owed to the company that it offset against amounts owed by it under the CUSO RSA in the three months ended March 31, 2015. |
| (6) |
This amount assumes that, pursuant to the Sixth Amendment to the CUSO RSA, the company elects to defer to 2016 all additional CUSO RSA payments that otherwise would have become due in 2015 after June 8, 2015, which the company estimates will be approximately $6.5 million. |
The company reported that it believes that the vast majority of the $72.3 million of estimated payments projected to be paid related to the CUSO RSA after 2017 will be made in 2018. The estimated future payment amounts and timing related to the CUSO RSA assume, among other factors, that the company does not make any Discharge Payments in 2015, 2016 or 2017 (other than the Discharge Payments made in March 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Fifth Amendment to the CUSO RSA and in June 2015 pursuant to the terms of the Sixth Amendment to the CUSO RSA) and does make Discharge Payments to the fullest extent possible in 2018 and later years. If the company does not make the Discharge Payments as assumed in 2018 and later years, the company estimates that it would make approximately $93.8 million of Regular Payments in 2018 through approximately 2026. Of this amount, approximately $18.6 million to $20.0 million would be paid annually in each of 2018 through 2021, and approximately $16.2 million in the aggregate, would be paid in 2022 through 2026.
