(NASDAQ: LOPE), a comprehensive regionally accredited university that offers over 160 graduate and undergraduate degree programs across eight colleges both online and on ground at our 200+ acre campus in Phoenix, Arizona, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The University financed its operating activities and capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 primarily through cash provided by operating activities. Our unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and investments were $134.2 million and $166.0 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Our restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $63.7 million and $67.8 million, respectively.
The University generated $81.7 million in cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $89.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in cash generated from operating activities between the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to the timing of income tax related payments partially offset by increased net income.
Net cash used in investing activities was $94.7 million and $130.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our cash used in investing activities was primarily related to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $111.9 million and $82.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the first six months of 2015, capital expenditures primarily consisted of ground campus building projects such as the construction of four additional dormitories, an additional classroom building for our College of Science, Engineering and Technology, a new parking structure and land purchases adjacent to our Phoenix campus to support our growing traditional student enrollment as well as purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support our increasing employee headcount. During the first six months of 2014, capital expenditures primarily consisted of ground campus building projects such as the construction of an additional classroom building, additional residence halls, the expansion of our arena, and land purchases adjacent to our Phoenix campus to support our growing traditional student enrollment as well as purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support our increasing employee headcount. Also included in investing activities is the net short-term investment activity. In the first six months of 2015 proceeds from the sale of short-term investments exceeded purchases by $17.3 million whereas in the first six months of 2014 purchases exceeded proceeds by $48.1 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 whereas net cash provided by financing activities was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the first six months of 2015 $4.2 million was used to purchase common shares withheld in lieu of income taxes resulting from restricted share awards while principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaled $3.4 million. These uses were partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.7 million and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation of $3.4 million. During the first six months of 2014, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $6.6 million and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation of $7.1 million were partially offset by $3.6 million used to purchase common shares withheld in lieu of income taxes resulting from restricted share awards, $1.7 million used to purchase treasury stock in accordance with the university's share repurchase program and principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaled $3.3 million.
