THE WASHINGTON POST COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Washington Post Company, Inc. (the Company) is a diversified education and media company. The Company’s Kaplan subsidiary provides a wide variety of educational services, both domestically and outside the United States. The Company’s media operations consist of the ownership and operation of cable television systems, newspaper publishing (principally The Washington Post), and television broadcasting (through the ownership and operation of six television broadcast stations).

Financial Periods – The Company and its subsidiaries report on a calendar-quarter basis, with the exception of most of the newspaper publishing operations, which report on a thirteen week quarter ending on the Sunday nearest the calendar quarter-end.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information; (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q; and (iii) the guidance of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. As permitted under such rules, certain notes and other financial information normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented herein. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes the reclassification of the results of operations of certain businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued final guidance on the presentation of reclassifications out of other comprehensive income to net income. The amendment requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in a footnote, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, only if the amount reclassified is required by GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide detail about those amounts. This amendment is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the amendment in the first quarter of 2013 is reflected in the Company's Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald, a daily and Sunday newspaper headquartered in Everett, WA. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser received most of the assets and liabilities; however, certain land and buildings and other assets and liabilities were retained by the Company. The results of operations of The Herald for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. All corresponding prior period operating results presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes have been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations presented. The Company did not reclassify its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Cash Flows to reflect the discontinued operations.

In August 2012, the Company completed the sale of Kidum and recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.6 million and an after-tax gain of $10.2 million related to this sale in the third quarter of 2012. On July 31, 2012, the Company disposed of its interest in Avenue100 Media Solutions, Inc. and recorded a pre-tax loss of $5.7 million related to the disposition. An income tax benefit of $44.5 million was also recorded in the third quarter of 2012 as the Company determined that Avenue100 had no value. The income tax benefit was due to the Company’s tax basis in the stock of Avenue100 exceeding its net book value, as a result of goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges recorded in 2008, 2010 and 2011 for which no tax benefit was previously recorded. In April 2012, the Company completed the sale of Kaplan EduNeering. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser acquired the stock of EduNeering and received substantially all the assets and liabilities. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an after-tax gain of $18.5 million related to this sale. In February 2012, Kaplan completed the stock sale of Kaplan Learning Technologies (KLT) and recorded an after-tax loss on the sale of $1.9 million. The Company recorded $23.2 million of income tax benefits in the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the sale of its stock in EduNeering and KLT related to the excess of the outside stock tax basis over the net book value of the net assets disposed. The results of operations of Kidum, Avenue100, EduNeering, and KLT, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.

The summarized income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, is presented below:

At June 30, 2013, the investment has been in an unrealized loss position for under three months. The Company evaluated this investment for other-than-temporary impairment based on various factors, including the duration and severity of the unrealized loss, the reason for the decline in value and the potential recovery period, and the ability and intent to hold the investment and concluded that the unrealized loss is not other-than-temporary as of June 30, 2013. If any impairment is considered other-than-temporary, the investment will be written down to its fair market value with a corresponding charge to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability based on a three-tiered hierarchy that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measure. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

____________

(1) The Company’s money market investments are included in cash and cash equivalents.

(2) The Company’s money market investments are included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

(3) The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.

(4) Includes U.S. Government Securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds and time deposits (with original maturities greater than 90 days, but less than one year).

(5) Includes The Washington Post Company Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under The Washington Post Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits.

(6) See Note 6 for carrying amount of these notes and borrowing.

(7) Included in Other liabilities. The Company utilized a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swap multiplied by the observable inputs of time to maturity and market interest rates.

For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Assets and liabilities that are measured using significant other observable inputs are primarily valued by reference to quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the basic earnings per share computed under the two-class method is lower than the diluted earnings per share computed under the if-converted method for participating securities, resulting in the presentation of the lower amount in diluted earnings per share. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 exclude the effects of 63,000 and 63,750 stock options outstanding, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 exclude the effects of 51,300 restricted stock awards, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 exclude the effects of 125,044 and 113,294 stock options outstanding, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 exclude the effects of 51,500 restricted stock awards, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company declared regular dividends totaling $2.45 and $7.35 per share, respectively. In December 2012, the Company declared and paid an accelerated cash dividend totaling $9.80 per share, in lieu of regular quarterly dividends that the Company otherwise would have declared and paid in calendar year 2013.

Defined Benefit Plan Assets . The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of a relatively small number of stocks and high-quality fixed-income securities that are held by a third-party trustee. The assets of the Company’s pension plan were allocated as follows:

	As of
	June 30,			December 31,
	2013			2012
U.S. equities		62	%		64	%
U.S. fixed income		13	%		13	%
International equities		25	%		23	%
		100	%		100	%

Essentially all of the assets are actively managed by two investment companies. The goal of the investment managers is to produce moderate long-term growth in the value of these assets, while protecting them against large decreases in value. Both of these managers may invest in a combination of equity and fixed-income securities and cash. The managers are not permitted to invest in securities of the Company or in alternative investments. The investment managers cannot invest more than 20% of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Berkshire Hathaway or more than 10% of the assets in the securities of any other single issuer, except for obligations of the U.S. Government, without receiving prior approval by the Plan administrator. As of June 30, 2013, the managers can invest no more than 24% of the assets in international stocks at the time the investment is made, and no less than 10% of the assets could be invested in fixed-income securities. None of the assets is managed internally by the Company.

In determining the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. In addition, the Company may consult with and consider the input of financial and other professionals in developing appropriate return benchmarks.

The Company evaluated its defined benefit pension plan asset portfolio for the existence of significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of credit risk as of June 30, 2013. Types of concentrations that were evaluated include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country and individual fund. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the pension plan held common stock in one investment that exceeded 10% of total plan assets. This investment was valued at $321.2 million and $223.1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, or approximately 14% and 11%, respectively, of total plan assets. Assets also included $226.2 million and $179.9 million of Berkshire Hathaway common stock at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012,

respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the pension plan held investments in one foreign country that exceeded 10% of total plan assets. These investments were valued at $337.4 million and $240.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, or approximately 14% and 12%, respectively, of total plan assets.

Other Postretirement Plans . The total benefit arising from the Company’s other postretirement plans, including a portion included in discontinued operations, consists of the following components:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(in thousands)	2013		2012		2013		2012
Service cost	$	728	$	779	$	1,455	$	1,557

Settlement gain		―		―		(3,471)		―
Total Periodic Benefit	$	(575)	$	(309)	$	(4,710)	$	(619)

As part of the sale of The Herald, changes were made with respect to its postretirement medical plan, resulting in a $3.5 million settlement gain that is included in discontinued operations, net of tax, for the first quarter of 2013.

12. CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Legal Matters. The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of the legal claims and proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Also, based on currently available information, management is of the opinion that the exposure to future material losses from existing legal proceedings is not reasonably possible, or that future material losses in excess of the amounts accrued are not reasonably possible.

DOE Program Reviews. The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) undertakes program reviews at Title IV participating institutions. Currently, there are six open and/or pending program reviews (including Kaplan University and Broomall, PA.) The Company is awaiting the DOE’s final report on the program review at KHE’s Broomall, PA, location. In May 2012, the DOE issued a preliminary report on its 2009 onsite program review at Kaplan University containing several findings that required Kaplan University to conduct additional, detailed file reviews and submit additional data. In January 2013, Kaplan submitted a response to the DOE’s data request and is awaiting a final report on this review. The Company does not expect the final program review reports to have a material impact on KHE; however, the results of these and the other open reviews and their impact on Kaplan’s operations are uncertain.

The 90/10 Rule . Under regulations referred to as the 90/10 rule, a KHE OPEID unit would lose its eligibility to participate in Title IV programs for a period of at least two fiscal years if it derives more than 90% of its receipts from Title IV programs, as calculated on a cash basis in accordance with the Higher Education Act and applicable DOE regulations, in each of two consecutive fiscal years, commencing with the unit’s first fiscal year that ends after August 14, 2008. Any OPEID unit with Title IV receipts exceeding 90% for a single fiscal year ending after August 14, 2008, will be placed on provisional certification and may be subject to other enforcement measures. KHE is taking various measures to reduce the percentage of its receipts attributable to Title IV funds, including modifying student payment options; emphasizing direct-pay and employer-paid education programs; encouraging students to carefully evaluate the amount of their Title IV borrowing; eliminating some programs; cash-matching; and developing and offering additional non-Title IV-eligible certificate preparation, professional development and continuing education programs. Some of the other programs may currently be offered by other Kaplan businesses. Absent the adoption of the changes mentioned above, and if current trends continue, management estimates that in 2013, at least 10 of the KHE Campuses’ OPEID units, representing approximately 11% of KHE’s 2012 revenues, could have a 90/10 ratio over 90%. As noted above, Kaplan is taking steps

to address compliance with the 90/10 rule; however, there can be no guarantee that these measures will be adequate to prevent the 90/10 rule calculations at some or all of the schools from exceeding 90% in the future.

Accreditation. In March 2011, Kaplan University’s institutional accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC), sent a request to Kaplan University asking for documents and a report detailing Kaplan University’s admissions practices and describing Kaplan University’s compliance with HLC Care Components and policies. Kaplan University complied with this request on April 29, 2011. Kaplan University provided additional information to the HLC in response to a follow-up request received on January 19, 2012. On June 19, 2013, the HLC notified Kaplan University of their intention to conduct a focused evaluation regarding these matters during the fall of 2013. At this time the Company cannot predict how the HLC will follow-up or what impact their additional inquires may have on Kaplan University.

13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has seven reportable segments: Kaplan Higher Education, Kaplan Test Preparation, Kaplan International, cable television, newspaper publishing, and television broadcasting and other businesses.

Education. Kaplan’s Colloquy business moved from Kaplan International to Kaplan Corporate effective January 1, 2013. Segment operating results of the education division have been restated to reflect this change.

In the second quarter of 2012, Kaplan International results benefitted from a favorable net $1.9 million adjustment. This included a $2.0 million adjustment to increase liabilities assumed in a 2011 acquisition and a favorable $3.9 million out of period expense adjustment related to certain items recorded in 2011 and 2010. With respect to the $3.9 million out of period expense adjustment, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

Newspaper Publishing. In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald, a daily and Sunday newspaper headquartered in Everett, WA. As a result, The Herald results are included in discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented. The newspaper publishing segment operating results have been restated to reflect this change.

The following table summarizes financial information related to each of the Company’s business segments:

On August 5, 2013, after approval by the Company’s Board of Directors on the same day, the Company entered into a binding letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) with Nash Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Purchaser), and Explore Holdings LLC, a Washington limited liability company, as guarantor (the Guarantor), pursuant to which the Purchaser will acquire all the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of WP Company LLC, Express Publications Company, LLC, El Tiempo Latino, LLC, Robinson Terminal Warehouse, LLC, Greater Washington Publishing, LLC and Post-Newsweek Media, LLC (the Publishing Subsidiaries). The Publishing Subsidiaries together conduct most of the Company’s publishing businesses, including publishing The Washington Post , Express , The Gazette Newspapers , Southern Maryland Newspapers , Fairfax County Times and El Tiempo Latino and related websites, and operating Washington Post Live and Washington Post News Media Services and the Company’s commercial printing and distribution business and paper handling and storage business (collectively, the Publishing Business).

The Purchaser will not acquire the Company’s interests in the Classified Ventures, LLC businesses, The Slate Group LLC, The FP Group, WaPo Labs and certain excluded real estate, including the Company headquarters building in downtown Washington, DC and certain land and property in Alexandria, VA. The liabilities under the Retirement Plan for The Washington Post Companies relating to the active employees of the Publishing Business will be transferred to the Purchaser, along with pension assets that have a value equal to the projected benefit obligation in respect of these active employees plus an additional $50 million.

The Purchaser will pay an aggregate purchase price of $250 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for working capital, target cash of $8.5 million and any outstanding debt of the Publishing Business. The Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the purchase price payment obligations of the Purchaser.

Within 60 days of the date of the Letter Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser will prepare and execute a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) providing for the transactions contemplated by the Letter Agreement on terms consistent with the Letter Agreement and containing other customary terms. If the parties cannot agree on the terms of the Purchase Agreement, an arbitrator selected by the parties will decide any disputed terms.

The closing of the transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

This analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

The Company reported income from continuing operations attributable to common shares of $44.7 million ($6.02 per share) for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $36.1 million ($4.76 per share) for the second quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to common shares was $44.7 million ($6.02 per share) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to $51.8 million ($6.84 per share) for the second quarter of last year. Net income for the second quarter of 2012 includes $15.8 million ($2.08 per share) in income from discontinued operations.

Items included in the Company’s income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2013:

§ $14.0 million in early retirement, severance and restructuring charges at the newspaper publishing and education divisions (after-tax impact of $9.8 million, or $1.34 per share); and

§ $12.6 million in non-operating unrealized foreign currency losses (after-tax impact of $8.1 million, or $1.11 per share).

Items included in the Company’s income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2012:

§ $8.4 million in early retirement, severance and restructuring charges at the newspaper publishing and education divisions (after-tax impact of $5.2 million, or $0.69 per share); and

§ $2.6 million in non-operating unrealized foreign currency losses (after-tax impact of $1.6 million, or $0.21 per share).

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $1,021.9 million, up 3% from $989.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. The Company reported operating income of $93.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to operating income of $63.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. Revenues increased at the cable television and television broadcasting divisions and in other businesses, offset by small declines at the education and newspaper publishing divisions. Operating results improved at the education, cable television and television broadcasting divisions. Excluding early retirement program expense, operating results also improved at the newspaper publishing division.

For the first six months of 2013, the Company reported income from continuing operations attributable to common shares of $50.8 million ($6.84 per share), compared to $49.5 million ($6.48 per share) for the first six months of 2012. Net income attributable to common shares was $49.4 million ($6.66 per share) for the first six months of 2013, compared to $82.9 million ($10.87 per share) for the same period of 2012. Net income includes $1.4 million ($0.18 per share) in losses from discontinued operations and $33.3 million ($4.39 per share) in income from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively (refer to “Discontinued Operations” discussion below).

Excluding early retirement program expense, operating results also improved at the newspaper publishing division.

Division Results

Education

Education division revenue totaled $548.2 million for the second quarter of 2013, a 1% decline from revenue of $551.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Kaplan reported second quarter 2013 operating income of $23.7 million, compared to $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2012.

For the first six months of 2013, education division revenue totaled $1,076.0 million, a 2% decline from revenue of $1,098.5 million for the same period of 2012. Kaplan reported operating income of $19.7 million for the first six months of 2013, compared to an operating loss of $8.2 million for the first six months of 2012.

In response to student demand levels, Kaplan has formulated and implemented restructuring plans at its various businesses, with the objective of establishing lower cost levels in future periods. Across all businesses, restructuring costs totaled $4.9 million and $14.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $5.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2012. Kaplan currently expects to incur approximately $10 million in additional restructuring costs for the remainder of 2013 at Kaplan Higher Education (KHE) and Kaplan International in conjunction with completing these restructuring plans. Kaplan may also incur additional restructuring charges in 2013 as Kaplan management continues to evaluate its cost structure.

A summary of Kaplan’s operating results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2013 compared to 2012 is as follows:

KHE includes Kaplan’s domestic postsecondary education businesses, made up of fixed -facility colleges and online postsecondary and career programs. KHE also includes the domestic professional training and other continuing education businesses.

In September 2012, KHE announced a plan to consolidate its market presence at certain of its fixed-facility campuses. Under this plan, KHE ceased new enrollments at nine ground campuses as it considered alternatives for these locations, and is in the process of consolidating operations of four other campuses into existing, nearby locations. Revenues at these campuses represented approximately 4% of KHE’s total revenues in 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2012, KHE also began implementing plans to consolidate other facilities and reduce its workforce. In connection with these and other plans, KHE incurred $2.6 million and $11.6 million in total restructuring costs in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $3.8 million in severance costs for the second quarter and first six months of 2012. For the second quarter of 2013, these costs included accelerated depreciation ($1.4 million), severance ($0.6 million) and lease obligation losses ($0.6 million). For the first six months of 2013, these costs included accelerated depreciation ($5.0 million), severance ($1.4 million), lease obligation losses ($4.3 million) and other items ($0.9 million). In the first six months of 2013, nine of the KHE campuses were closed.

In the second quarter and first six months of 2013, higher education revenue declined 6% and 9%, respectively, due largely to declines in average enrollments that reflect weaker market demand over the past year and the impact of campuses in the process of closing. These declines were partially offset by a revenue increase arising from trial period modifications and process improvements.

KHE operating income increased significantly in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, due largely to expense reductions associated with lower enrollments and recent restructuring efforts, partially offset by lower revenue and restructuring costs noted above.

New student enrollments at KHE increased 21% and 3% in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. New student enrollments were positively impacted by trial period modifications and process improvements, partially offset by the impact of closed campuses and those planned for closure that are no longer recruiting students.

Total students at June 30, 2013, were down 8% and 7% compared to June 30, 2012, and March 31, 2013, respectively. Excluding campuses closed or planned for closure, total students at June 30, 2013, were down 4% compared to June 30, 2012, and down 7% compared to March 31, 2013. A summary of student enrollments is as follows:

	Students as of
	June 30,	March 31,	June 30,
	2013	2013	2012
Kaplan University	45,625	48,673	47,175

Kaplan University enrollments included 8,144 , 8,819 and 8,100 campus-based students as of June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Kaplan University and KHE Campuses enrollments at June 30, 2013 and 2012, by degree and certificate programs, are as follows:

	As of June 30,
	2013		2012
Certificate	21.7	%	24.8	%
Associate’s	30.5	%	28.7	%
Bachelor’s	33.1	%	33.7	%
Master’s	14.7	%	12.8	%
	100.0	%	100.0	%

Kaplan Test Preparation (KTP) includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation and tutoring offerings. KTP revenue increased 7% and 8% for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. Enrollment increased 2% and 1% for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, driven by strength in pre-college, nursing and bar review programs, offset by declines in graduate programs. KTP operating results improved in the first six months of 2013 due largely to increased revenues.

Kaplan International includes English-language programs and postsecondary education and professional training businesses outside the United States. Kaplan International revenue increased 5% and 6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, due to enrollment growth in the pathways, English-language and Singapore higher education programs. Kaplan International operating income declined in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 due to restructuring costs in Australia and reduced earnings in Europe, partially offset by strong results in Singapore. In the second quarter of 2012, International results benefited from a net $1.9 million adjustment that resulted from a favorable adjustment to certain items recorded in prior periods. In the second quarter and first six months of 2013, restructuring costs totaled $2.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in Australia, where Kaplan has been consolidating and restructuring its businesses to optimize operations; such costs are largely made up of severance costs and other expenses to teach-out students for certain programs that are being eliminated.

Corporate represents unallocated expenses of Kaplan, Inc.’s corporate office, other minor businesses and shared activities.

Cable Television

Cable television division revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2013 to $204.6 million, from $195.6 million for the second quarter of 2012; for the first six months of 2013, revenue increased 5% to $404.7 million, from $385.8 million in the same period of 2012. The revenue increase for the first six months of 2013 is due to recent rate increases for many subscribers, growth in commercial sales and a reduction in promotional discounts. The increase was partially offset by a decline in basic video subscribers, as the cable division focuses its efforts on churn reduction and retention of its high-value subscribers.

Cable television division operating income increased 16% to $44.7 million, from $38.4 million in the second quarter of 2012; for the first six months of 2013, operating income increased 14% to $81.3 million, from $71.2 million for the first six months of 2012. The division’s operating income improved due to increased revenues and reductions in labor costs and bad debt expense, partially offset by higher programming and depreciation costs.

At June 30, 2013, Primary Service Units (PSUs) were down 3% from the prior year due to a decline in basic video subscribers. PSUs include about 6,300 subscribers who receive free basic cable service, primarily local governments, schools and other organizations as required by various franchise agreements. A summary of PSUs is as follows:

	As of June 30,
	2013	2012
Basic video	575,762	612,729
High-speed data	464,292	462,426
Telephony	185,380	187,095
	1,225,434	1,262,250

Newspaper Publishing

Newspaper publishing division revenue totaled $138.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, down 1% from revenue of $139.2 million for the second quarter of 2012; division revenue declined 2% to $265.7 million for the first six months of 2013, from $271.7 million for the first six months of 2012. Print advertising revenue at The Washington Post in the second quarter of 2013 was $54.5 million, down 4% from the second quarter of 2012; print advertising revenue was $103.1 million for the first six months of 2013, down 6% from the first six months of 2012. The decline is largely due to reductions in retail and general advertising. Revenue generated by the Company’s newspaper online publishing activities, primarily washingtonpost.com and Slate, increased 15% to $29.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 versus the second quarter of 2012; newspaper online revenues increased 12% to $55.6 million for the first six months of 2013 versus the first six months of 2012. Display online advertising revenue increased 25% and 21% for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. Online classified advertising revenue declined 7% for both the second quarter and first six months of 2013.

For the first six months of 2013, Post daily and Sunday circulation declined 7.1% and 7.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, average daily circulation at The Washington Post totaled 447,700 and average Sunday circulation totaled 646,700.

In February 2013, the Company announced a Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program (VRIP) which was offered to certain employees of the Post. The total VRIP expense was $20.4 million, which is being funded from the assets of the Company’s pension plan. Of this amount, $12.0 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2013 and $8.4 million was

recorded in the second quarter of 2013. The Post also implemented a Separation Incentive Program in February 2013 that resulted in an additional $2.3 million in early retirement program expense in the first quarter of 2013, which is also being funded from the assets of the Company pension plan. In addition, voluntary severance and other early retirement expense of $0.7 million and $2.2 million was recorded at the newspaper publishing division in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $3.4 million and $5.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively.

The newspaper publishing division reported an operating loss of $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to an operating loss of $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, the newspaper publishing division reported an operating loss of $49.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $33.2 million for the first six months of 2012. These operating losses include noncash pension expense of $16.8 million and $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $39.7 million and $16.3 million for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decline in operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2013 is due to the $5.7 million and $19.6 million increase in early retirement and severance expense, respectively, and revenue reductions discussed above, offset partially by a decline in other operating expenses. Newsprint expense was down 17% and 14% for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, primarily due to a decline in newsprint consumption.

Television Broadcasting

Revenue for the television broadcasting division increased 4% to $99.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, from $95.6 million in the same period of 2012; operating income for the second quarter of 2013 increased 9% to $47.7 million, from $43.7 million in the same period of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, revenue increased 4% to $184.6 million, from $177.1 million in the same period of 2012; operating income for the first six months of 2013 increased 11% to $83.1 million, from $74.7 million in the same period of 2012.

The increase in revenue and operating income reflects growth in advertising demand across many product categories; incremental advertising revenue from the NBA finals broadcast at the division’s ABC affiliates in Miami and San Antonio; and increased retransmission revenues. The increase in revenue and operating income was offset partially by a $5.3 million and $8.1 million decline in political advertising revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively.

Other Businesses

Other businesses includes the operating results of Social Code, a marketing solutions provider helping companies with marketing on social media platforms; Celtic Healthcare, a provider of home health care and hospice services in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions that was acquired by the Company in November 2012; and WaPo Labs, a digital team focused on emerging technologies and new product development .

On August 1, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Forney Corporation, a global supplier of products and systems that control and monitor combustion processes in electric utility and industrial applications.

Corporate Office

The Company’s equity in earnings of affiliates, net, was $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, the Company’s equity in earnings of affiliates, net, totaled $7.3 million, compared to $7.2 million for the same period of 2012.

Net Interest Expense

The Company incurred net interest expense of $8.5 million and $17.0 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to $8.2 million and $16.3 million for the same periods of 2012. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $450.0 million in borrowings outstanding, at an average interest rate of 7.0%.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2013 was 42.1%, compared to 39.6% for the first six months of 2012. The high effective tax rate for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 results primarily from losses in Australia for which no tax benefit is recorded.

Discontinued Operations

In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald, a daily and Sunday newspaper headquartered in Everett, WA. Kaplan sold Kidum in August 2012, EduNeering in April 2012 and Kaplan Learning Technologies (KLT) in February 2012. The Company also divested its interest in Avenue100 Media Solutions in July 2012. Consequently, the Company’s income from continuing operations excludes these businesses, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax.

The sale of The Herald resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.1 million that was recorded in the first quarter of 2013. The sale of KLT resulted in a pre-tax loss of $3.1 million that was recorded in the first quarter of 2012. The sale of EduNeering resulted in a pre-tax gain of $29.5 million that was recorded in the second quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2012, in connection with each of the sales of the Company’s stock in KLT and EduNeering, the Company recorded $23.2 million of income tax benefits related to the excess of the outside stock tax basis over the net book value of the net assets acquired.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 was based on 7,283,116 and 7,276,421 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, compared to 7,545,150 and 7,579,888, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2012. At June 30, 2013, there were 7,422,238 shares outstanding and the Company had remaining authorization from the Board of Directors to purchase up to 180,993 shares of Class B common stock.

In June 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) providing for a U.S. $450 million, AUD 50 million four year revolving credit facility (the Facility), with each of the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (JP Morgan), and J.P. Morgan Australia Limited, as Australian Sub-Agent. The Facility will expire on June 17, 2015, unless the Company and the banks agree to extend the term.

			Standard
	Moody’s		& Poor’s
Long-term		Baa1		BBB
Short-term		Prime-2		A-3

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had working capital of $502.4 million and $327.5 million, respectively. The Company maintains working capital levels consistent with its underlying business requirements and consistently generates cash from operations in excess of required interest or principal payments. The Company expects to fund its estimated capital needs primarily through existing cash balances and internally generated funds and to a lesser extent borrowings supported by our Credit Agreement. In management’s opinion, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its various cash needs throughout 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its business due primarily to its ownership of marketable equity securities, which are subject to equity price risk; to its borrowing and cash-management activities, which are subject to interest rate risk; and to its foreign business operations, which are subject to foreign exchange rate risk. The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K have not otherwise changed significantly.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer) and the Company’s Senior Vice President-Finance (the Company’s principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
