Profit Sharing Retirement Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of DeVry Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of DeVry Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes at June 30, 2004 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing 5 procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Hill, Taylor LLC October 29, 2004 6 DEVRY INC.

PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN ------------------------------ NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003 ---------------------------------- 1. General Description of the Plan: ------------------------------- The following brief description of the DeVry Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan, as amended, is a participant-directed defined contribution plan with elective employee participation on a before-tax basis under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan covers all United States of America employees of DeVry Inc. (the Company), and its subsidiaries, except for employees of Dominica Management Inc. and its subsidiaries, eligible on the date of hire to make employee contributions. Participants are eligible for the Company's matching contributions and profit sharing contributions after completing one year of service with 1,000 or more hours worked. New employees who were participants in other qualified retirement plans are permitted to transfer their vested account balances to the Plan. The Plan covered 4,172 and 4,187 of the Company's employees at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This includes 1,310 and 1,147 former employees for whom benefits had not yet been distributed as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Plan was last amended to be effective as of January 1, 2002, to reflect the adoption of certain provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. The Company is the administrator of the Plan. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company engaged American Express Retirement Services as trustee of the Plan to perform certain administrative and record keeping services. Pursuant to the Plan, eligible employees may elect to contribute from 1-15% of their annual eligible compensation on a before-tax basis as limited by the Internal Revenue Code. Highly compensated employees of the Company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, are limited to contributing a maximum of 6% of their compensation. In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, eligible employees could contribute a maximum of $13,000 and $12,000 during calendar years 2004 and 2003, respectively. Eligible employees who are at least 50 years old may contribute an additional catch-up contribution of $3,000 and $2,000 during calendar years 2004 and 2003, respectively, as specified in the Internal Revenue Code. 9 1. General Description of the Plan (Continued): ------------------------------------------- The Company makes a matching contribution for all participants who have elected to make 401(k) contributions. This matching contribution is equal to 1% of gross pay if a participant contributes 1% of his or her eligible compensation. The matching contribution is 2% if a participant contributes 2% or more of his or her eligible compensation. The Company may also make a discretionary contribution in an amount determined annually by its board of directors. Participants in the Plan may elect each month to invest their contributions and previous account balances in 1% increments in any of the funds described below. However, investments in the DeVry Inc.

The number of participants in each of the Plan's funds was as follows: June 30 --------------- 2004 2003 ----- ----- U.S. Government Securities Fund II 2,209 2,100 Income Fund 1,710 1,901 Diversified Bond Fund 868 840 Balanced Fund 1,194 1,186 Equity Index Fund 694 540 Income and Growth Fund 623 452 Growth Fund 615 523 Large Cap Core Fund 1,622 1,602 International Fund 779 569 Emerging Growth Fund 1,521 1,492 DeVry Inc. Stock Fund 1,494 1,526 Participants are fully vested in their 401(k) contributions and related investment earnings or losses. Participants vest in the Company's matching and discretionary contributions and related investment earnings and losses based upon the following vesting schedule: 11 1. General Description of the Plan (Continued): ------------------------------------------- Years of Service Vesting % ---------------- --------- 1 20% 2 40% 3 60% 4 80% 5 100% Participant contributions and the Company's contribution for its 1% or 2% match of compensation of participants who make 401(k) contributions on a before-tax basis are allocated after each payroll to participants' accounts. The Company's discretionary contribution, if any, is allocated to participants' accounts following the end of the plan year for which the contribution is declared. As of June 30, 2004, the discretionary contribution of $4,639,372 for the plan year 2004 has not yet been allocated to participants' accounts. Interest, dividends and investment gains or losses are allocated to participants' accounts daily. Allocations are based upon participants' earnings, seniority or account balances as defined in the Plan. Forfeitures of the unvested or unclaimed portions of former participants' balances are annually allocated to the accounts of the remaining participants. Former employees may elect to receive a lump sum distribution or, under certain circumstances, to maintain their vested account balances in the Plan but they are not eligible to receive any future Company matching or discretionary contributions. Active participants may, under certain circumstances, withdraw a portion of their 401(k) account balance. These withdrawals may be in the form of loans, which are to be repaid with interest over a period not to exceed five years (ten years under certain limited circumstances). Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. The interest rate is based on the prime rate plus 1%. Loans are repaid through payroll deductions. Permanent withdrawals of contributions, but not earnings, may also be made if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) defined hardship conditions are met. A permanent withdrawal is treated as a taxable distribution to the participant. Upon retirement or after age 59 1/2 participants may elect a lump sum distribution or one of several annuity payment plans. The Company anticipates that the Plan will continue without interruption but reserves the right to terminate or freeze the Plan at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated or frozen, all amounts not yet allocated to the participants' accounts will be allocated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The resultant participants' accounts then become fully vested. If the Plan is terminated, the assets in the Plan will be completely distributed. If the Plan is frozen, the assets of the Plan will be retained in the Plan for distribution at such time and in such a manner as the Plan provides. 12 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: ------------------------------------------ (a)Basis of Accounting ------------------- The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. (b)Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. (c)Risk and Uncertainties ---------------------- The Plan provides for various investment options in several mutual funds. Investing in mutual funds presents various risks, such as interest rate and market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment options and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net asset available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits. (d)Contributions ------------- Contributions from participants are recorded in the period payroll deductions are made. The Company's 401(k) matching contributions are recorded in the same period as the participant contributions are made. The Company's discretionary contribution, if any, is recorded in the period for which the contribution is declared. (e)Valuation and Income Recognition -------------------------------- The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds and collective investment trusts are valued at the net asset value of shares or units held by the plan at year end. Participant loans receivable are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex- dividend date. (f)Expenses -------- Investment expenses incurred by the manager of the funds and directly related 13 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued): ------------------------------------------------------ administrative expenses are deducted from the earnings of the Plan. Other administrative expenses are paid by the Company. 3.
