EXPLANATORY NOTE

Student Transportation Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its Annual Report on Form 40-F (this “Annual Report”) pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3 under the Exchange Act.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Annual Report, including the documents incorporated herein by reference, are “forward looking statements,” which reflect the expectations of management regarding the Company’s future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. Forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not or the times at or by which such performance or results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward looking statements, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Registrant’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report. Although the forward looking statements contained in this Annual Report are based on what the Registrant believes to be reasonable assumptions, investors cannot be assured that actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements, and the differences may be material. Material factors and assumptions that were relied upon in making the forward-looking statements include contract and customer retention, current and future expense levels, availability of quality acquisition, bid and conversion opportunities, current borrowing availability and financial ratios, as well as current and historical results of operations and performance.

The Registrant’s forward-looking statements contained in the exhibits incorporated by reference into this Annual Report are made as of the respective dates set forth in such exhibits. In preparing this Annual Report, the Registrant has not updated such forward-looking statements to reflect any subsequent information, events or circumstances or otherwise, or any change in management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions that may have occurred prior to the date hereof, nor does the Registrant assume any obligation to update such forward-looking statements in the future, except as required by applicable laws.

PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS

The following documents have been filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 40-F:

 

A. Annual Information Form. The Registrant’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

B. Audited Financial Statements. The Registrant’s consolidated audited annual financial statements, including the report of the independent registered public accounting firm with respect thereto, are attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F and are incorporated by reference herein. The Registrant’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

C. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Registrant’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014 is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F and is incorporated by reference herein.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the Registrant’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was carried out by the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

Based upon the evaluation, the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the fiscal year, the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that while the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2014.

As an “emerging growth company,” the Company is exempted from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report in this Annual Report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, there were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
