The largest operating businesses engage in student loan servicing, tuition payment processing and school information systems, and telecommunications. A significant portion of the Company's revenue is net interest income earned on a portfolio of federally insured student loans. The Company also makes investments to further diversify the Company both within and outside of its historical core education-related businesses, including, but not limited to, investments in real estate and start-up ventures. Substantially all revenue from external customers is earned, and all long-lived assets are located, in the United States.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company was formed as a Nebraska corporation in 1978 to service federal student loans for two local banks. The Company built on this initial foundation as a servicer to become a leading originator, holder, and servicer of federal student loans, principally consisting of loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP” or “FFEL Program”) of the U.S. Department of Education (the “Department”). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Effective July 1, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the "Reconciliation Act of 2010”) prohibits new loan originations under the FFEL Program and requires that all new federal student loan originations be made through the Federal Direct Loan Program. This law does not alter or affect the terms and conditions of existing FFELP loans. As a result of this law, the Company no longer originates new FFELP loans. However, the Company believes there may be continued opportunities to purchase FFELP loan portfolios from current FFELP loan holders as the program winds down. To reduce its reliance on interest income on student loans, the Company has expanded its services and products. This expansion has been accomplished through internal growth and innovation as well as business acquisitions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On December 31, 2015, the Company purchased </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">92.5 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the ownership interests of Allo Communications LLC (“Allo”).  The remaining </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">7.5 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the ownership interests of Allo is owned by Allo management, who has the opportunity to earn an additional </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">11.5 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> (up to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">19 percent</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">), of the total ownership interests based on the financial performance of Allo.  Allo provides pure fiber optic service to homes and businesses for internet, television, and telephone services.  The acquisition of Allo provides additional diversification of the Company's revenues and cash flows outside of education.  In addition, the acquisition leverages the Company's existing infrastructure, customer service capabilities and call centers, and financial strength and liquidity for continued growth.  For financial reporting purposes, the Company will disclose the operating results of Allo as a separate reportable operating segment.  The Allo assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded by the Company at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  As such, Allo’s assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015 are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  However, Allo had no impact on the consolidated statement of income for 2015.  Beginning January 1, 2016, the Company will reflect the operations of Allo in the consolidated statements of income.  Revenue from telecommunications services will be recognized when the services are provided to customers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has four reportable operating segments.
