Learning Tree International, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRE) announced today that Bob Waldron, the company's Chief Financial Officer, has accepted a position with Sundrop Fuels (www.Sundropfuels.com), a gasification-based advanced biofuels company with corporate headquarters in Colorado. He will continue as the CFO of Learning Tree through February 29, 2012.

"Bob's decision is unrelated to the recent change in our Chief Executive Officer. Coming on the heels of last week's announcement, we believe it is important to clarify that the two decisions are completely independent of each other," explained Dr. David C. Collins, Chairman and CEO. "We understand that Bob has been given a uniquely attractive opportunity at Sundrop Fuels, and we wish him the best of success in his new position. We are now in the process bringing an interim CFO on board."
