Learning Tree Announces Expected Fourth Quarter 2006 Results.

RESTON, Va. -- Learning Tree International, Inc. (NASDAQ:LTRE) announced today its expected consolidated revenues and results of operations for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 29, 2006. The expected results for the fiscal year include the anticipated impact of the previously announced restatement of Learning Tree's consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, including the quarterly periods within that year, and for the first three quarters in its fiscal year ended September 29, 2006. All amounts presented by the Company are unaudited.

Revenues for Learning Tree's quarter ended September 29, 2006 are expected to be $38.7 million, a 6% increase from the same quarter of the prior year. Learning Tree expects to report income from operations of $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 compared with a loss from operations of $0.8 million (restated) for the same quarter of the prior year.

Revenues for Learning Tree's fiscal year ended September 29, 2006 are expected to be $154.0 million compared with $151.6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. Loss from operations for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2006 is expected to be $1.9 million compared with a loss from operations of $1.6 million (restated) for the prior year.

The results for periods other than the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 reflect the previously announced restatement to correct the accounting for lease termination costs relating to portions of Learning Tree's United Kingdom Education Center and office facility that the Company ceased using. The restatement is expected to adversely affect Learning Tree's loss from operations by approximately $0.5 million for fiscal year 2005, and adversely affect Learning Tree's loss from operations by approximately $0.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2006.

"We are pleased to be reporting a second straight quarter of year-on-year increases in both revenues and gross profit margins," commented Learning Tree President and CEO Nicholas R. Schacht. "While our fourth-quarter results reflect some of the expected gains from our recent profitability improvement initiatives, we expect that the full impact of those changes will be achieved in future quarters. We are also excited by the recent release of our RealityPlus[TM] management education programs, which have received enthusiastic reviews from our participants, and which we believe represent a significant advancement in the state of the art of management education."
