AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
----------------------------------------------
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
regulations. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform
with the current period presentation. The condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996 that are contained in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Note 2. Common Stock
------------
On December 16, 1996, the Company paid a 50% stock dividend to all
holders of its Common Stock, $.0001 Par Value ("Common Stock"). All share and
per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes have
been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend.
On March 7, 1997, the Company's shareholders approved an increase in
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 25,000,000 shares to
75,000,000 shares.
Note 3. Computation of Net Income per Common share and Common Equivalent Share
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income per common share and common equivalent share is computed
using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during
the period. For fiscal 1996, the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding was computed pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such rules require that common stock and
common stock equivalents issued by the Company during the twelve months
preceding the Company's initial public offering, at prices below the public
offering price (654,000 shares), be included in the calculation of the shares
outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock method.
Note 4: Stock Option Plan
-----------------
In October 1995, the Company and its stockholders adopted the 1995
Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), which provides for the issuance of
both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options for the purchase of
an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The Stock
Option Plan permits the grant of options to officers, employees, directors and
consultants of the Company. The exercise price of incentive stock options
granted must be greater than or equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant and the exercise price of non-qualified stock options
must be greater than or equal to 75% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of the grant. The maximum term of all options may not exceed
ten years. The vesting schedule and the period required for full exercisability
of the stock options are at the discretion of the Board of Directors but in no
event can they be less than six months.
On October 1, 1996 and January 1, 1997, non-qualified options for
approximately 654,000 shares and 86,000 shares, respectively, were granted under
the Stock Option Plan to substantially all employees with at least one year of
service with the Company. The exercise prices of options granted were equal to
the fair market values of the Common Stock at the dates of grant and the terms
of the options are five years. The options are subject to a four year vesting
schedule at 25 percent per year on each anniversary date. As of March 31, 1997,
options for approximately 722,000 shares were outstanding under the Stock Option
Plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Learning Tree International, Inc. (the "Company"), is a leading
worldwide provider of education and training for corporate information
technology ("IT") professionals in business and government organizations. The
Company develops, markets and delivers a broad, proprietary library of
instructor-led course titles focused on client/server systems,
Internet/intranets, local and wide area computer networks, operating systems,
programming languages, database systems, graphical user interfaces,
object-oriented technology, and IT management. The Company tests and certifies
IT professionals in 22 IT job functions. The Company's instructor-led courses
are recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education. In
addition to its instructor-led courses, the Company develops, produces and
markets a line of interactive computer-based training courses incorporating
audio and graphical elements ("multimedia CBT") that are designed for both
stand-alone CD-ROM and network-based delivery.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company expanded the
breadth of its instructor-led training activities through the formation of two
new divisions. The new Power Seminars Division presents multi-day conferences
comprised of a number of 1-day, multimedia lecture-style courses in key
information technologies that are undergoing rapid change. The Company delivered
its first Power Seminar conference in March 1997, which was attended by over 500
IT professionals.
The new Learning Solutions Division provides custom-developed training
programs for larger clients who need to train large numbers of their IT
professionals and end-users. The initial focus of this new division is on
training that supports the roll-out and use of new organization-wide information
systems, tools and applications. The division's first contract was initiated
with General Motors Corporation in March 1997 for the training of 20,000 GM
employees and dealer personnel in courses scheduled in 60 cities across the
United States, primarily between June and December of this year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1997, revenues increased
by $13.1 million or 57% to $35.8 million from $22.7 million for the
corresponding quarter of the prior year. Income from operations for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 increased $814,000 or 52% to $2.4 million from $1.6 million
for the same quarter of fiscal 1996. Net income for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, increased $703,000 or 50% to $2.1 million from $1.4 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.
For the six month period ended March 31, 1997, revenues increased by
$25.9 million or 56% to $71.8 million from $45.9 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1996. Income from operations for the six months ended March 31,
1997, increased $3.3 million or 70% to $8.0 million from $4.7 million for the
corresponding period of the prior year. Net income for the six months ended
March 31, 1997 increased $2.4 million or 65% to $6.2 million from $3.8 million
for the corresponding period of the prior year.
Revenues increased primarily because the number of course participants
increased to 22,998 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997, from 15,971
participants in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. For the six months
ended March 31, 1997, the number of course participants was 47,027 compared to
32,330 in the corresponding six month period of the prior year. The additional
course participants are primarily attributable to increased marketing and sales
expenditures and an increase in the net number of instructor-led course titles
to 124 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 95 in the same period a
year earlier. Revenues for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997,
also reflect higher average revenues per course participant as well as revenues
from the Company's multimedia CBT product line. As of March 31, 1997, the
Company had expanded its multimedia CBT course library to 30 titles.
The Company's cost of revenues for its instructor-led courses primarily
includes the costs associated with course instructors, course materials and
equipment, freight, classroom facilities and refreshments. For its multimedia
CBT courses, cost of revenues primarily includes the costs of amortized
development, manufacturing, distribution and support. The cost of revenues for
the second quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $6.4 million or 72% to $15.4 million
from $9.0 million for the same quarter in 1996. For the six months ended March
31, 1997, the Compant's cost of revenues increased $11.6 million or 64% to $29.8
million from $18.2 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The
increased cost of revenues compared to the same periods in the prior year, are
primarily the result of increases in the number of instructor-led course events,
costs per
7
<PAGE>
event and costs of sales associated with the increased sales of the
multimedia CBT product line. The number of instructor-led course events
increased 41% in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to 1,446 course events from
1,023 course events in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. For the six month
period ended March 31, 1997, the number of instructor-led course events
increased 40% to 2,931 from 2,089 for the corresponding period in the prior
year. Costs per instructor-led course event increased approximately 17% and 14%,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The
change in the average cost per instructor-led course event primarily arises from
a) the need to conduct more events in hotels to handle increasing demand which
frequently exceeds the Company's education center capacity, b) increased
instructor fees, c) the recruitment and training costs to expand the instructor
force, and d) costs of acquiring, maintaining and shipping course equipment for
hands-on courses which have increased as a percentage of all courses. To
accommodate the growth in course enrollments, the Company has increased the
number and size of its education center facilities and is seeking additional
education center facilities in certain locations.
In response to the continued strength in market response for its
training programs, the Company intends to continue to: a) expand its library of
instructor-led course titles, including the further development of titles for
its new Power Seminar Division; b) expand its multimedia CBT course library; c)
expand the activities of its new Learning Solutions Division d) further expand
its sales, advertising and marketing expenditures to capture additional market
share; e) recruit and train additional instructors for both new and existing
course titles and f) add new education centers and expand the number of
classrooms in its existing education centers. Accordingly, the Company's cost of
revenues, course development and sales and marketing expenditures are expected
to increase. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve
increased market share after making the expenditures required by these
activities.
Course development expenses include the costs of developing new
instructor-led courses, Power Seminars, multimedia CBT course titles and
Learning Solutions programs, as well as the cost of updating the Company's
existing course libraries. The principal costs are for internal product
development staff and independent consultants who serve as subject matter
experts. Course development expenses increased by $940,000 or 66% to $2.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $1.4 million in the quarter
ended March 31, 1996. For the six months ended March 31, 1997, course
development expenses increased $2.1 million or 78% to $4.8 million from $2.7
million for the corresponding period in the prior year. These increases reflect
the costs associated with the Company's expansion of its library of
instructor-led and multimedia CBT courses as well as the development costs for
the new Power Seminar and Learning Solutions courses.
Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries, commissions and
travel-related costs for sales and marketing personnel, the costs of designing,
producing and distributing direct mail marketing and media advertisements, and
the costs of information systems to support these activities. Sales and
marketing expenses increased $3.5 million or 44% to $11.4 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1996. For the six months ended March 31, 1997, sales and marketing expenses
increased $7.2 million or 51% to $21.3 million from $14.1 million for the
corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in sales and marketing
expenses is due to an increase in telemarketing and field sales staff and
increased direct mail marketing intended to reach a broader range of potential
customers, to expand business with current customers, to expand the Company's
presence in certain U.S. cities, to promote the new Power Seminar and the CBT
product lines and to communicate the availability of new course titles.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million or 48% to
$4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to $2.8 million in
the same quarter of the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 1997,
general and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million or 28% to $7.9
million from $6.2 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.
Other income (expense) is primarily comprised of interest expense,
interest income and foreign currency gains and losses. Other income increased
$340,000 to $810,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $470,000 for the
corresponding quarter in the prior year. For the six months ended March 31,
1997, other income increased by $770,000 to $1.4 million from $627,000 for the
corresponding six month period in the prior year. These increases were primarily
attributable to additional interest income arising from higher cash balances
which have been generated by operations and from the proceeds of the Company's
initial public offering in December 1995 and secondary offering in September
1996.
8
<PAGE>
The provision for income taxes increased $451,000 to $1.1 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, from $634,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996. For the six months ended March 31, 1997, the provision for income taxes
increased $1.6 million to $3.2 million from $1.6 million for the corresponding
period in the prior year. The increase in the income tax provision reflects an
increase in income before taxes as well as an increase in the Company's
effective tax rate for fiscal 1997. The effective tax rate for fiscal 1996
reflected the utilization of certain foreign tax loss carryforwards and all of
the Company's remaining tax loss carryforwards were used in that year.
BACKLOG
At March 31, 1997, the Company had a backlog of orders for
instructor-led courses in the amount of $24.9 million, which represented a 33%
increase over the backlog of $18.8 million at March 31, 1996. Only a portion of
the Company's backlog is funded. There can be no assurance that the growth in
the backlog will continue or that orders comprising the backlog will be realized
as revenue.
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS
The Company's operating results may fluctuate based on various factors,
including the frequency of course events, the timing, frequency and size of, and
response to, the Company's direct mail marketing and advertising campaigns, the
timing of the introduction of new course titles and alternate delivery methods,
the mix between customer-site course events and Learning Tree-site course
events, competitive forces within the current and anticipated future markets
served by the Company, the spending patterns of its customers, currency
fluctuations, inclement weather and general economic conditions. Fluctuations in
quarter-to-quarter results may also occur depending on differences in the timing
of, and the time period between, the Company's expenditures on the development
and marketing of its courses and the receipt of revenues.
The Company's revenues and income have historically varied
significantly from quarter to quarter due to seasonal and other factors. The
Company generally has greater revenue and operating income in the second half of
its fiscal year (April through September) than in the first half of its fiscal
year (October through March). This seasonality is due in part to seasonal
spending patterns of the Company's customers arising from budgetary and other
business factors as well as weather, holiday and vacation considerations. In
addition, the seasonality of the Company's operating results reflects the
quarterly differences in the frequency and size of the Company's direct mail
marketing campaigns. There can be no assurance that these seasonal effects will
remain the same in the future.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term interest-bearing investments
increased to $66.9 million at March 31, 1997 from $61.5 million at September 30,
1996, primarily as a result of cash provided by operations. For the six months
ended March 31, 1997, cash provided by operations was approximately $16.0
million compared to $6.9 million during the same period in the prior year. The
increase in cash provided by operations reflects the increases in profits and
deferred revenues arising from prepaid multi-enrollment programs. As of March
31, 1997, the Company had a net working capital balance of $41.3 million.
During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Company invested $10.0
million in equipment and facilities compared to $3.2 million in the same period
of the prior year. This increase is primarily related to the build-out of office
and classroom facilities and the purchase of additional course equipment to
support the growth of course events and the upgrade of course equipment
capabilities. While the Company expects to purchase additional course equipment
and to enter into leases for additional facilities during fiscal 1997, as of
March 31, 1997, the Company had no material future purchase obligations, capital
commitments or debt and believes that its cash and cash equivalents, its
short-term interest-bearing investments and the cash provided by its operations
will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
