SEC
The Company anticipates it will file its 2006 10-K by July 31, 2008. It further expects that the 2007 10-K will be filed four to eight weeks after the filing of the 2006 10-K. The Company provided preliminary and unaudited 2007 financial results for the Voyager Learning Company operating business by means of a conference call on April 15, 2008. As the Company has continued its efforts to file 2006 and 2007 financials, certain estimates made April 15, 2008 have been updated resulting in a change to the projected 2007 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of $28 - $29 million versus the previously reported $30 million.
