Learning Tree International, Inc. (“Learning Tree”) requires additional time to prepare and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 30, 2005. As announced on December 7, 2005, Learning Tree restated its consolidated financial statements for fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, September 30, 2002, September 30, 2003 and October 1, 2004, and the previously-reported consolidated quarterly periods within the fiscal years ended October 1, 2004 and September 30, 2005, primarily to correct its accounting for income taxes and leases. This restatement resulted in extensive additional work at year-end which resulted in the delayed filing of Learning Tree’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and a corresponding delay in the preparation of Form 10-Q for its first quarter of fiscal 2006. These delays, in addition to the implementation of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment at October 1, 2005, necessitate the five-day extension to ensure the accurate and complete presentation of information in its Form 10-Q for its first fiscal quarter of 2006.
