DEVRY INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DeVry Inc. (“DeVry”) and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of DeVry. The June 30, 2013 data that is presented is derived from audited financial statements.
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in DeVry's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
DeVry University tuition revenues are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the applicable academic term. Ross University School of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (together “Ross University”) and American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (“AUC”) basic science curriculum revenues are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the academic term. The clinical portion of the Ross University and AUC education programs are conducted under the supervision of U.S. teaching hospitals and veterinary schools. Ross University and AUC are responsible for the billing and collection of tuition from its students during the period of clinical education. Revenues are recognized on a weekly basis based on actual program attendance during the period of the clinical program. Fees paid to the hospitals and veterinary schools for supervision of Ross University and AUC students are charged to expense on the same basis. Carrington, Chamberlain and DeVry Brasil tuition and fee revenues are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the applicable academic term. The provision for refunds, which is reported as a reduction to Tuition Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and the provision for uncollectible accounts, which is included in the Cost of Educational Services in the Consolidated Statements of Income, also are recognized in the same ratable fashion as revenue to most appropriately match these costs with the tuition revenue in that term.
Estimates of DeVry’s expected refunds are determined at the outset of each academic term, based upon actual experience in previous terms, and monitored and adjusted as necessary within the term. If a student leaves school prior to completing a term, federal, state and/or Canadian provincial regulations and accreditation criteria permit DeVry to retain only a set percentage of the total tuition received from such student, which varies with, but generally equals or exceeds, the percentage of the term completed by such student. Payment amounts received by DeVry in excess of such set percentages of tuition are refunded to the student or the appropriate funding source. All refunds are netted against revenue during the applicable academic term. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is determined by analyzing the current aging of accounts receivable and historical loss rates on collections of accounts receivable. In addition, management considers projections of future receivable levels and collection loss rates. We monitor the inputs to this analysis periodically throughout the year. Provisions required to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels are charged to expense in each period as required. Related reserves with respect to uncollectible accounts and refunds totaled $50.4 million and $63.1 million at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.
Sales of textbooks, electronic course materials, and other educational products, including training services and the Becker self-study products, are included in Other Educational Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Textbook, electronic course materials and other educational product revenues are recognized when the sale occurs. Revenues from training services, which are generally short-term in duration, are recognized when the training service is provided. In addition, fees from international licensees of the Becker programs are included in Other Educational Revenues and recognized when confirmation of course delivery is received.
Internal-Use Software Development Costs
DeVry capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software, not to exceed five years. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of equipment, materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the internal-use software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Capitalized internal-use software development costs for projects not yet complete are included as construction in progress in the Land, Buildings and Equipment section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no costs capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, capitalized costs were approximately $2.1 million, primarily related to Project DELTA (a new student information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain College of Nursing). As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the net balance of capitalized software development costs was $57.5 and $73.0 million, respectively.
Perkins Program Fund
DeVry University is required, under federal aid program regulations, to make contributions to the Perkins Student Loan Fund, most recently at a rate equal to 33% of new contributions by the federal government. No new federal contributions were received during the three months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. DeVry carries its investment in such contributions at original values, net of allowances for expected losses on loan collections of $2.6 million at September 30, 2013 and 2012. The allowance for future loan losses is based upon an analysis of actual loan losses experienced since the inception of the program. As previous borrowers repay their Perkins loans, their payments are used to fund new loans thus creating a revolving loan fund. The federal contributions to this revolving loan program do not belong to DeVry and are not recorded in its financial statements. Under current law, upon termination of the program by the federal government or withdrawal from future program participation by DeVry University, subsequent student loan repayments would be divided between the federal government and DeVry University to satisfy their respective cumulative contributions to the fund.
Non-Controlling Interest
DeVry maintains a 96.3 percent ownership interest in DeVry Brasil with the remaining 3.7 percent owned by some of the current DeVry Brasil senior management group. Prior to a June 2013 purchase of additional DeVry Brasil stock, DeVry’s ownership percentage was 93.5 percent. Beginning July 1, 2015, DeVry has the right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining DeVry Brasil stock from DeVry Brasil management. Likewise, DeVry Brasil management has the right to exercise a put option and sell its remaining ownership interest in DeVry Brasil to DeVry. Since the put option is out of the control of DeVry, authoritative guidance requires the non-controlling interest, which includes the value of the put option, to be displayed outside of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.
The DeVry Brasil management put option is being accreted to its redemption value in accordance with the stock purchase agreement. The adjustment to increase or decrease the put option to its expected redemption value each reporting period is recorded to retained earnings in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adjustment to increase or decrease the DeVry Brasil non-controlling interest each reporting period for its proportionate share of DeVry Brasil’s profit/loss will continue to flow through the consolidated income statement based on DeVry's historical non-controlling interest accounting policy.

Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus unvested participating restricted share units. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to DeVry Inc. by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive shares are computed using the Treasury Stock Method and reflect the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock options were exercised during the period. Excluded from the September 30, 2013 and 2012 computations of diluted earnings per share were options to purchase 2,169,000 and 2,498,000 shares of common stock, respectively. These outstanding options were excluded because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or the assumed proceeds upon exercise under the Treasury Stock Method resulted in the repurchase of more shares than would be issued; thus, their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares (amounts in thousands).

The eighth repurchase program was approved by the DeVry Board of Directors on August 29, 2012 and commenced in November 2012. Share repurchases under this plan were suspended as of May 2013. Shares that are repurchased by DeVry are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.
From time to time, shares of its common stock are delivered back to DeVry under a swap arrangement resulting from employees’ exercise of incentive stock options pursuant to the terms of the DeVry Stock Incentive Plans (see “Note 4 Stock-Based Compensation”). These shares are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.
Treasury shares are reissued on a monthly basis at market value, to the DeVry Employee Stock Purchase Plan in exchange for employee payroll deductions. When treasury shares are reissued, DeVry uses an average cost method to reduce the Treasury Stock balance. Gains on the difference between the average cost and the reissuance price are credited to Additional Paid-in Capital. Losses on the difference are charged to Additional Paid-in Capital to the extent that previous net gains from reissuance are included therein; otherwise such losses are charged to Retained Earnings.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss is comprised of the change in cumulative translation adjustment and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of the effects of income taxes.
The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss balance at September 30, 2013, consists of $17.7 million of cumulative translation losses ($17.2 million attributable to DeVry Inc. and $0.5 million attributable to non-controlling interests) and $0.1 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.1 million and all attributable to DeVry Inc. At September 30, 2012, this balance consisted of $5.2 million of cumulative translation losses ($4.6 million attributable to DeVry Inc. and $0.6 million attributable to non-controlling interests) and $0.2 million of unrealized losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.1 million and all attributable to DeVry Inc.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are recognized as expense in the period in which materials are purchased or services are performed. Advertising expense, which is included in student services and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $73.0 million, and $66.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11: “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. This guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit related to a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset, unless the tax benefit is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes under the tax law of the applicable tax jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods beginning December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. Management is in the process of evaluating the effects of this guidance but does not believe it will have a significant impact on DeVry’s consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
The previously reported amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for Advance Tuition Payments and Deferred Tuition Revenue have been combined as Deferred and Advance Tuition to conform to the current presentation format.

Assets and Liabilities of Business Held for Sale
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, management determined its Advanced Academics Inc. (“AAI”) subsidiary no longer coincides with DeVry’s long-term strategic plan and management is in the process of divesting AAI. As such, the assets and operations of AAI are considered “held for sale” at September 30, 2013. The assets and liabilities of AAI are separately disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Held for Sale”. The following is a summary of balance sheet information of “held for sale” assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands).

NOTE 4: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
DeVry maintains four stock-based award plans: the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005. Under these plans, directors, key executives and managerial employees are eligible to receive incentive stock or nonqualified options to purchase shares of DeVry’s common stock. The Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 also permits the award of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance stock and other stock and cash based compensation. Though options remain outstanding under the 1994, 1999 and 2003 Stock Incentive Plans, no further stock based awards will be issued from these plans. The 2003 Stock Incentive Plans and the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options are granted for terms of up to 10 years and can vest immediately or over periods of up to five years. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period. The option price under the plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
DeVry accounts for options granted to retirement eligible employees that fully vest upon an employees’ retirement under the non-substantive vesting period approach to these options. Under this approach, the entire compensation cost is recognized at the grant date for options issued to retirement eligible employees.
At September 30, 2013, 6,245,754 authorized but unissued shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under DeVry’s stock incentive plans.
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period, reduced by an estimated forfeiture rate.
The following is a summary of options activity for the three months ended September 30, 2013:
| | Options Outstanding | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000) | |
Outstanding at July 1, 2013 | | 3,327,668 | | $ | 32.64 | | | | | | |
Options Granted | | 556,050 | | $ | 28.32 | | | | | | |
Options Exercised | | (58,157) | | $ | 21.79 | | | | | | |
Options Canceled and Forfeited | | (30,629) | | $ | 39.98 | | | | | | |
Outstanding at September 30, 2013 | | 3,794,932 | | $ | 32.13 | | 6.45 | | $ | 16,358 | |
Exercisable at September 30, 2013 | | 2,352,083 | | $ | 35.32 | | 4.88 | | $ | 8,143 | |
The following is a summary of stock appreciation rights activity for the three months ended September 30, 2013:
| | Stock Appreciation Rights Outstanding | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000) | |
Outstanding at July 1, 2013 | | 117,015 | | $ | 42.87 | | | | | | |
Rights Granted | | 1,050 | | $ | 28.32 | | | | | | |

Outstanding at September 30, 2013 | | 118,065 | | $ | 42.74 | | 6.45 | | $ | 3 | |
Exercisable at September 30, 2013 | | 85,855 | | $ | 45.25 | | 5.45 | | $ | - | |
The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.5 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.
The fair value of DeVry’s stock-based awards was estimated using a binomial model. This model uses historical cancellation and exercise experience of DeVry to determine the option value. It also takes into account the illiquid nature of employee options during the vesting period.
The weighted average estimated grant date fair values for options granted at market price under DeVry’s stock option plans during the first three months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 were $11.68 and $7.61, per share, respectively. The fair values of DeVry’s stock option awards were estimated assuming the following weighted average assumptions:
| | Fiscal Year | | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | | |
Expected life (in years) | | 6.58 | | | 6.63 | | |
Expected volatility | | 43.76 | % | | 43.67 | % | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 2.16 | % | | 1.03 | % | |
Dividend yield | | 0.90 | % | | 0.61 | % | |
Pre-vesting forfeiture rate | | 3.00 | % | | 3.00 | % | |
The expected life of the options granted is based on the weighted average exercise life with age and salary adjustment factors from historical exercise behavior. DeVry’s expected volatility is computed by combining and weighting the implied market volatility, the most recent volatility over the expected life of the option grant, and DeVry’s long-term historical volatility. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate is based on DeVry’s historical stock option forfeiture experience.
If factors change and different assumptions are employed in the valuation of stock-based awards in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that DeVry records may differ significantly from what was recorded in previous periods.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, DeVry granted 399,860 shares of restricted stock to selected employees and non-employee directors. Of these, 73,010 are performance based shares which are earned by the recipients over a three year period based on achievement of specified academic and student outcome goals when a minimum level of DeVry return on invested capital is attained. The remaining 326,850 shares and all other previously granted shares of restricted stock are subject to restrictions which lapse ratably over three and four-year periods on the grant anniversary date based on the recipient’s continued service on the Board of Directors or employment with DeVry, or upon retirement. During the restriction period, the recipient of the non-performance based shares shall have the right to receive dividend equivalents. This right does not pertain to the performance based shares. The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the year ended September 30, 2013:
| | Restricted Stock Outstanding | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
Nonvested at July 1, 2013 | | 1,058,443 | | $ | 27.03 | |
Shares Granted | | 399,860 | | $ | 28.32 | |
Shares Vested | | (269,543) | | $ | 31.07 | |
Shares Cancelled | | (23,986) | | $ | 27.89 | |
Nonvested at September 30, 2013 | | 1,164,774 | | $ | 26.52 | |
The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (dollars in thousands):
| | For the Three Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Cost of Educational Services | | $ | 1,861 | | $ | 1,829 | |
Student Services and Administrative Expense | | | 3,955 | | | 3,887 | |
| | | 5,816 | | | 5,716 | |
Income Tax Benefit | | | (1,946) | | | (1,854) | |
Net Stock-Based Compensation Expense | | $ | 3,870 | | $ | 3,862 | |
As of September 30, 2013, $32.8 million of total pre-tax unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. The total fair value of options vested during the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $6.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at September 30, 2013 and 2012.
DeVry has an established practice of issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises. However, DeVry also may issue treasury shares to satisfy option exercises under certain of its plans.
NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
DeVry has elected not to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis such as goodwill and intangible assets and assets of businesses where the long-term value of the operations have been impaired. Management has fully considered all authoritative guidance when determining the fair value of DeVry’s financial assets as of September 30, 2013.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
When available, DeVry uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, DeVry makes use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3.
Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination. These assets are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. See “Note 8: Intangible Assets” for further discussion on the impairment review including valuation techniques and assumptions.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, it was determined that net assets of AAI reporting unit had been impaired. This determination was made after review of the updated third party offers to purchase the assets of the business. Assets measured at fair value in circumstances where the long-term value of a business has been impaired include the assets of AAI. To determine the fair value of the AAI assets, management incorporated assumptions that a reasonable market participant would use regarding the impact of the current operating losses and the increased uncertainty impacting future operations. We used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in our analysis including third party offers received to acquire the assets of AAI along with estimated costs to dispose of the assets. Based on this analysis, the fair market value less the costs to sell exceeded the carrying value by approximately $13.5 million. As a result management recorded a pre-tax $13.5 million asset impairment charge in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. See “Note 3: Assets and Liabilities of Business Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” for further discussions on AAI.
The following tables present DeVry’s assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands).
| | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | | $ | 308,544 | | $ | - | | $ | - | |
Available for Sale Investments: | | | | | | | | | | |
Marketable Securities, short-term | | | 3,104 | | | - | | | - | |
Favip Contingent Consideration | | | - | | | - | | | 2,519 | |
Total Financial Assets at Fair Value | | $ | 311,648 | | $ | - | | $ | 2,519 | |
Cash Equivalents and investments in short-term Marketable Securities are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments. The Favip Contingent Consideration is valued at management’s estimate of the percentage likelihood of the contingency being realized. Management assumes that there is a 70 percent likelihood that Favip will receive status of a university center and that the contingency will be payable.
The fair value of the institutional loans receivable included in Accounts Receivable, Net and Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for similar arrangements. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value and the estimated fair value of these financial instruments was approximately $44.5 million. See “Note 6: Financing Receivables” for further discussion on these institutional loans receivable.
Below is a roll-forward of liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended September 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands). The amount recorded as foreign currency translation gain is classified as student services and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 6: FINANCING RECEIVABLES
DeVry’s institutional loan programs are available to students at its DeVry University, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Carrington College and Carrington College of California schools as well as selected students at Ross University School of Medicine and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. These loan programs are designed to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs by other means. These loans may be used for tuition, books, and fees, and are available only after all other student financial assistance has been applied toward those purposes. In addition, Ross University School of Medicine and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine loans may be used for students’ living expenses. Repayment plans for institutional loan program balances are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student. Interest charges accrue each month on the unpaid balance. DeVry University, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Carrington College and Carrington College of California require that students begin repaying a small portion of the loans while they are still in school, and then payments increase upon completing or departing the program. After a student leaves school, the student typically will have a monthly installment repayment plan with all balances due within 12 to 60 months. In addition, the Becker CPA Review Course can be financed through Becker with a zero percent, 18-month term loan.
Reserves for uncollectible loans are determined by analyzing the current aging of accounts receivable and historical loss rates of loans at each educational institution. Management performs this analysis periodically throughout the year. Since all of DeVry’s financing receivables are generated through the extension of credit to students to fund educational costs, all such receivables are considered part of the same loan portfolio.
The following table details the institutional loan balances along with the related allowances for credit losses as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands).

Allowance for Credit Losses | | | (19,476) | | | (18,145) | |
Net Institutional Student Loans | | $ | 44,547 | | $ | 37,961 | |
Of the net balances above, $20.8 million and $19.5 million were classified as Accounts Receivable, Net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $23.7 million and $18.5 million, representing amounts due beyond one year, were classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other Assets at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The following tables detail the credit risk profiles of the institutional student loan balances based on payment activity and provide an aging analysis of past due institutional student loans as of September 30, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 7: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Faculdade Diferencial Integral
On July 1, 2013, DeVry Educacional do Brasil S/A (f/k/a Fanor-Faculdades Nordeste S/A) (DeVry Brasil), a subsidiary of DeVry, acquired the stock of Faculdade Diferencial Integral (“Facid”), located in the state of Piaui, Brazil, for approximately $16.1 million in cash. In addition, DeVry Brasil will be required to make additional payments of approximately $9.0 million over the next four years. Facid currently serves approximately 2,500 students at two campuses in the city of Teresina, and offers degree programs primarily in healthcare, including a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) program. Facid also offers undergraduate degrees in other healthcare fields such as nursing, pharmacy, and dentistry, as well as a law program. Facid joins DeVry Brasil, which now operates six institutions at 13 campuses in northeast Brazil. With the addition of Facid, these institutions provide education programs to nearly 30,000 students.
The operations of Facid are included in DeVry’s International and Professional Education segment. The results of Facid’s operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of DeVry since the date of acquisition.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (dollars in thousands).
| | At July 1, 2013 | |
Current Assets | | $ | 4,699 | |
Property and Equipment | | | 2,037 | |
Other Long-term Assets | | | 167 | |
Intangible Assets | | | 17,723 | |
Goodwill | | | 8,238 | |
Total Assets Acquired | | | 32,864 | |
Liabilities Assumed | | | 16,801 | |
Net Assets Acquired | | $ | 16,063 | |
Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, was all assigned to the DeVry Brasil reporting unit which is classified within the International and Professional Education segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include Facid’s strategic fit into DeVry’s expanding presence in northeast Brazil, the reputation of the educational programs and the acquired assembled workforce. None of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Of the $17.7 million of acquired intangible assets, $15.2 million was assigned to Accreditations and $1.9 million was assigned to Trade Names, both of which have been determined not to be subject to amortization. The remaining acquired intangible asset was determined to be subject to amortization with an average useful life of approximately 15 years. Their values and estimated useful lives by asset type are as follows (dollars in thousands):

There is no pro forma presentation of operating results for this acquisition due to the insignificant effect on consolidated operations.
Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca
On September 3, 2012, DeVry Educacional do Brasil S/A (f/k/a, Fanor-Faculdades Nordeste S/A) (“DeVry Brasil”), a subsidiary of DeVry acquired the business operations of Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca (“Favip”), which is located in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Under the terms of the agreement, DeVry Brasil paid approximately $32.2 million in cash in exchange for the stock of Favip. In addition, DeVry Brasil will be required to make an additional payment of approximately $3.9 million over the next 12 months should Favip receive status of a university center. As of September 30, 2013, $2.5 million is accrued for this additional payment.
Favip currently serves about 5,000 students and offers more than 30 undergraduate and graduate programs at two campuses located in Caruaru, the state’s second largest city. The institution’s largest programs are in the areas of law, business, psychology and nutrition. The acquisition of Favip is consistent with DeVry's growth and diversification strategy, increasing its international presence in Brazil.
The operations of Favip are included in DeVry’s International and Professional Education segment. The results of Favip’s operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of DeVry since the date of acquisition.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (dollars in thousands).
| | At September 3, 2012 | |

Net Assets Acquired | | $ | 32,169 | |
Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, was all assigned to the DeVry Brasil reporting unit which is classified within the International and Professional Education segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include Favip’s strategic fit into DeVry’s expanding presence in northeast Brazil, the reputation of the educational programs and the acquired assembled workforce. None of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Of the $13.6 million of acquired intangible assets, $10.2 million was assigned to Accreditations and $1.1 million was assigned to Trade Names, both of which have been determined not to be subject to amortization. The remaining acquired intangible assets were determined to be subject to amortization with an average useful life of approximately 4.9 years. Their values and estimated useful lives by asset type are as follows (dollars in thousands):

| | Value Assigned | | Estimated Useful Lives | |
Student Relationships | | $ | 2,257 | | 5 years | |
Curriculum | | | 79 | | 2 years | |
There is no pro forma presentation of operating results for this acquisition due to the insignificant effect on consolidated operations.
NOTE 8: INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets relate mainly to acquired business operations. These assets consist of the acquisition fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets acquired and goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed.

All amortizable intangible assets, except for the DeVry Brasil Student Relationships, the FBV Student Relationships, the Favip Student Relationships and the AUC Student Relationships, are being amortized on a straight-line basis. The amounts being amortized for theses Student Relationships are based on the estimated progression of the students through the respective programs, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with both existing students and new applicants. This results in the basis being amortized at an annual rate for each of the years of estimated economic life as follows:
Fiscal Year | | AUC | | | DeVry Brasil | | | FBV | | | FAVIP | | |
2009 | | - | | | 8.3 | % | | - | | | - | | |

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to Trademarks, Trade Names, Title IV Eligibility, Accreditations and Intellectual Property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the reporting entity.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This annual impairment review was most recently completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. As a result, it was determined that the goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset of the Carrington Colleges Group (“Carrington”) reporting unit had been impaired. As of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 impairment review, there was no impairment loss associated with recorded goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for any other reporting unit, as estimated fair values exceeded the carrying amounts.
Management considers certain triggering events when evaluating whether an interim impairment analysis is warranted. Among these would be a significant long-term decrease in the market capitalization of DeVry based on events specific to DeVry’s operations. As of September 30, 2013, DeVry’s market capitalization exceeded its book value by approximately 40%, which is consistent with the premium as of June 30, 2013. Other triggering events that could be cause for an interim impairment review would be changes in the accreditation, regulatory or legal environment; increased competition; innovation changes and changes in the market acceptance of our educational programs and the graduates of those programs.
The estimated fair values of DeVry’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values by at least 12% as of the end of fiscal year 2013, except that of Carrington. The estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying values by at least 100% as of the end of fiscal year 2013, except those indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired with the acquisitions of AUC and FBV and where fair values exceeded carrying values by 4% to 67%. The smaller premiums for the FBV and AUC indefinite-lived intangible assets would be expected considering the assets were acquired within two years of the fourth quarter fiscal year 2013 valuation date and there has been less time for these assets to have appreciated in value from their fair market value purchase price. As for Carrington, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, management recorded an impairment loss of $57.0 million for the decline in fair value of this reporting unit and its associated indefinite-lived intangible assets. Therefore, no premiums existed with respect to either the reporting unit’s carrying value or the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2013. Accordingly, this situation also requires management to remain cognizant of the fact that if Carrington’s realized and projected operating results do not meet expectations, an interim review and possible further impairment would be necessary.
To improve Carrington’s financial results, management continues to execute a turn-around plan initiated in fiscal year 2012 which includes increasing its focus on building Carrington’s brand awareness, optimizing its marketing approach to emphasize the development of internally-generated inquiries, improving its recruiting process through its new student contact center and narrowing its focus geographically and programmatically around Carrington’s core strengths in healthcare. Carrington continues to make additional investments in its website interface and admissions processes to better serve prospective students. Despite a difficult economy, evidence of a recovery in enrollments was experienced at Carrington where total student enrollment increased for four consecutive terms through September 2013. Though new student enrollment decreased in the September 2013 term as compared to the year-ago term, this was the result of the number of session starts in the current year period as compared to the year-ago period. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, Carrington had only four session starts as compared to five in the year-ago period.
These improvements in enrollment resulted in increased revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the same period last fiscal year and, along with cost control efforts, reduced the operating losses from levels of a year ago in the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The revenue and operating results also exceeded internal plans for the first quarter. Management believes its planned business and operational strategies have reversed the negative trend in revenue and operating income declines experienced over the past several years. However, if operating improvements do not continue, all or some of the remaining goodwill could be impaired in the future.
Though certain reporting units experienced a decline in operating results in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the year-ago quarter, management did not believe business conditions had deteriorated in any of its reporting units such that it was more likely than not that the fair value was below carrying value for those reporting units or their associated indefinite-lived intangible assets at September 30, 2013. In this regard, revenues, operating results and cash flows grew for all reporting units in fiscal year 2013 except at DeVry University and DeVry Brasil. The revenue and operating results of DeVry Brasil exceeded internal plans for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Revenues grew by more than 35% from the year-ago quarter. Operating earnings declined from the year-ago quarter reflecting investments for expansion and growth.
At DeVry University, which carries a goodwill balance of $22.2 million, revenue declined by approximately18% from the year-ago quarter. The revenue decline at DeVry University was primarily the result of a decline in undergraduate student enrollments and graduate coursetakers due to lower demand among the university’s target segment of students, believed to be driven by the challenging economic environment, persistent high levels of unemployment, perceptions of the value of a college degree, increased reluctance to take on debt and heightened competition. To address this issue, DeVry University is focused on implementing management’s five-point turnaround plan which is:
| · | Further improve academic quality; |
| · | Align the cost structure with enrollment levels; |
| · | Regain enrollment growth; |
| · | Make targeted investments with the intent to drive future growth; and |
| · | Manage the change while developing the team. |
In aligning the cost structure, management is focused on increasing efficiencies. Over the past year DeVry has reduced costs through staffing adjustments and by lowering costs. Management has made the decision to close or consolidate certain DeVry University campuses while balancing the potential impact on enrollment and student satisfaction. Management is also focused on process redesign and restructuring in areas such as student finance.
The plan to increase enrollments includes communication of DeVry University’s value proposition, which is educational quality, career prospects and high levels of student service. This communication plan includes integrated university-wide efforts at key points in the year. A September 2013 “call to action event” included the new Career Catalyst Scholarship. Under the Career Catalyst Scholarship DeVry University has committed more than $15 million over the next three years to be awarded to qualifying students who enroll in the September 2013 session. The scholarships are valued at up to a total of $20,000 per student, depending on the degree and credits required to attain that degree. Students qualifying for DeVry University’s Career Catalyst Scholarship are eligible to receive scholarship awards of progressive amounts over a period of three years. For example, students in their first year of a bachelor’s degree program can be awarded up to $5,000. During the second year, the available award may increase up to $7,000. For the third year, the award can increase up to $8,000. To facilitate this new scholarship, management consolidated multiple, smaller scholarships into a larger program which was more clearly communicated to prospective students. In addition, tuition rates for fiscal year 2014 at DeVry University remain unchanged from those of fiscal year 2013. Enhanced use of technology is also expected to increase the effectiveness of the student recruiting process.
Management believes its planned business and operational strategies will reverse the negative trends over the next several years. However, if operating improvements are not realized, all or some of the goodwill could be impaired in the future. The impairment review completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 indicated the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the DeVry University reporting unit by 100%. This excess margin has been declining in recent years. Should business conditions at DeVry University continue to deteriorate resulting in the carrying value of this reporting unit exceeding its fair value then goodwill and intangible assets could be impaired. This would require a possible write-off of up to $22.2 million.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit or an intangible asset involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Management bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable at the time, but such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The increase in the goodwill balance from June 30, 2013 in the International and Professional Education segment is the result the addition of goodwill of $8.2 million from the acquisition of Facid and changes in the value of the Brazilian Real and British Pound Sterling as compared to the U.S. dollar. See the discussions above for further explanation of the acquisition. Since DeVry Brasil and ATC goodwill is recorded in their respective local currencies, fluctuations in its value in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.
The table below summarizes the indefinite-lived intangible assets balances by reporting unit as of September 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands):
Reporting Unit: | | Indefinite- lived Intangible Assets | |
DeVry University | | $ | 1,645 | |
Becker Professional Review | | | 27,912 | |
Ross University | | | 19,200 | |
Chamberlain College of Nursing | | | 1,200 | |

American University of the Caribbean | | | 117,100 | |
DeVry Brasil | | | 49,874 | |
Total | | $ | 284,131 | |
Total indefinite-lived intangible assets increased by $17.3 million from June 30, 2013. This increase is the result of the addition of $17.1 million of indefinite-lived intangibles associated with the acquisition of Facid and by the effects of foreign currency translation on the DeVry Brasil assets. Since DeVry Brasil intangible assets are recorded in the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of these assets.
NOTE 9: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, DeVry implemented a Voluntary Separation Plan (VSP) that reduced its workforce by 66 positions across DeVry University and DeVry Inc. Home Office. This resulted in a pre-tax charge of $10.4 million in the quarter that represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. In addition, charges related to real estate consolidation of $1.3 million were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. These restructuring costs were allocated to the segments as follows: $8.0 million to Business Technology and Management, $0.7 million to Medical and Healthcare, $3.0 million to DeVry home office which is classified as “Depreciation and Other” in “Note 13- Segment Information”.
During fiscal year 2013, DeVry implemented an involuntary reduction in force (RIF), a Voluntary Separation Plan (VSP), and other staff reduction actions that reduced its workforce by approximately 475 positions across all reporting units. This resulted in a pre-tax charge of approximately $10.3 million in fiscal year 2013 that represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. Also during fiscal year 2013, DeVry made decisions to consolidate facilities at its Carrington and DeVry University educational institutions. This resulted in pre-tax charges of $6.3 million in fiscal year 2013. In addition, DeVry consolidated its administrative offices in the Chicagoland area. As a result, a DeVry owned facility
