FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Broadview Institute, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (February 17, 2011) – Broadview Institute, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board – BVII) today reported revenues of $5,406,325 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $5,185,421 reported for the same period last year.  The Company recognized net income of $79,363, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to net income of $672,561, or $0.08 per basic and $0.07 per diluted common share, for the same period last year.

Revenues totaled $15,722,880 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $13,701,093 for the same period last year.  Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 totaled $417,281 or $0.05 per basic and diluted common share, compared to $1,315,881, or $0.16 per basic and $0.15 per diluted common share for the same period last year.

“Broadview University has successfully opened two new branch campuses in the span of four months, and we remain in a strong cash position,” said Terry Myhre, the Company’s Chairman.  “Our Salt Lake City campus opened in October 2010 and our Boise campus opened in January 2011.  The costs associated with opening two campuses in a short time period are the main factor for our reduced profitability.  We anticipate modest earnings as these new campuses grow their enrollment levels.”

“We will continue to monitor the regulatory uncertainties that could potentially have a negative impact on our students’ accessibility to financial aid, as well as the programs we offer,” Myhre added.  “These uncertainties may have weakened demand in our industry, but we believe our continued focus on the learning experience and career opportunities for our students offers a model that will remain attractive to potential learners.”
