                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                        

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     Interim Financial Statements:

     The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
     of only normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
     periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for a full year. The financial statements should be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the  annual
     report of Tomorrow's Morning, Inc. (the "Company") on Form 10-KSB for the
     year ended June 30, 1997.

     Nature of Business:

     The Company was incorporated in June 1992 in the State of California and is
     engaged in the publication of a children's weekly newspaper (which was
     temporarily suspended on March 23, 1998 due to lack of funds and credit and
     is to resume on May 18, 1998). Through June 30, 1997, the Company was
     devoting substantially all of its efforts toward establishing new business
     and product. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, significant
     orders were received for its current product; therefore, as of September
     30, 1997, the Company was no longer considered a development stage
     enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
     No. 7.

     Basis of Presentation:

     For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company had negative cash
     flows from operations of $2,513,059 and incurred a net loss of $5,975,111.
     The Company's expenses continue to greatly exceed its income, and its
     future depends on: (i) finding a strategic partner; (ii) the development of
     complementary products; (iii) completion and successful marketing of the
     SCOOP(TM) CD-ROM journalism game; (iv) the formation of joint-marketing
     alliances for corporate sponsorship of schools through the Company's
     Reading Partners Program and/or the sale of advertising space; (v) getting
     one or more television shows, or interstitial news "flashes", on the air;
     and (vi) expansion into ancillary publishing and merchandising through
     redirecting the Company's content and/or licensing the Company's characters
     and identity.  The Company has used all of the net proceeds of its initial
     public offering and finds that it requires substantial additional funds in
     order to reach the above long-term goals.  In addition, as discussed below
     in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources," the Company requires an
     immediate infusion of working capital to continue its present operations.
     There can, however, be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain
     such additional long- and short-term funds or that, if obtained, it will be
     able to achieve or sustain significant revenues or profitability in the
     future.

     Revenue Recognition:

     Subscription sales are recorded as deferred revenue at the time of sale.
     Revenues from subscriptions are recognized ratably over the subscription
     period as newspapers are delivered. Deferred revenue represents unfulfilled
     subscription sales at period-end. Reserves have been recorded to reflect
     estimated uncollectible subscription receivables as well as potential
     refunds for unfulfilled subscriptions due to the temporary suspension of
     publication described above.

                                                                          Page 6

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

     Advertising:

     The Company expenses the costs of all general advertising in the period
     incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $75,081 and $18,500 for the
     three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the nine
     months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, advertising expense was approximately
     $1,032,205 and $50,398, respectively.  In accordance with the American
     Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 93-7
     "Reporting on Advertising Costs", costs associated with the Company's
     direct response marketing efforts have been deferred and will be amortized
     over the period in which the related revenue is recognized. At March 31,
     1998 and June 30, 1997, these deferred costs were approximately $911,000
     and $106,000, respectively, with $44,300 and $895,992 of related
     amortization having been recorded in the three and nine months ended March
     31, 1998 and no amortization at June 30, 1997.  Management periodically
     reviews the recoverability of deferred advertising costs.

3.   CONTRACTS PAYABLE:

     In February 1998, the Company entered into a short-term financing contract
     for an insurance policy covering its directors and officers. As of March
     31, 1998, the balance was $42,069.

     The Company has entered into lease contracts to purchase office equipment
     and a telephone system. The contracts provide for a fair-market-value
     purchase at the end of the lease terms. In accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS 13), the Company has
     capitalized the cost of the equipment.

     Software Development Agreement:

     During the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company entered into a software
     development agreement for the development of a CD-ROM journalism game
     called "SCOOP(TM)".  Pursuant to the agreement, the budgeted costs to
     develop the CD-ROM game shall not exceed $1,210,000; through March 31,
     1998, expenditures for "SCOOP(TM)" were approximately $908,000 of which
     $72,500 is included in prepaid expenses.

     The Year 2000 Issue:

     The Company has begun addressing the potential impact of the Year 2000
     Issue by inquiring of its vendors, customers, and others it does business
     with, regarding the effect it may have on the Company's operations and
     relationships with these entities.  Internally, the Company has completed
     an initial review of its operations to determine areas that need to be
     further investigated regarding the effect of the Year 2000 Issue. At this
     point in time, the Company believes that the Year 2000 Issue, as to its own
     information systems, will not have a material effect on its operations.

5.   NONCASH TRANSACTIONS:

     The Company's Variable Non-dilutive Stock Option Agreements were amended
     during the quarter ended December 31, 1997 to remove the variable and non-
     dilutive features, effectively freezing the number of common shares the
     optionees were previously granted. The effect of the amendments was a
     charge to earnings of $1,344,022 in the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
     Charges related to these options totaled $1,918,634 for the nine months
     ended March 31, 1998.

     In addition to the above transactions, options previously granted by the
     Company were exercised by various unrelated parties during the three month
     period ended December 31, 1997. The exercise of these options resulted in a
     charge to earnings totaling $107,570 in that period.

     On December 4, 1997, the Company settled litigation with a shareholder by
     issuing 5,000 shares of common stock. The charge to earnings regarding this
     transaction was $30,000.


6.   INCOME TAXES:

     The Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $4,028,000 and
     $2,665,000 as of March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively, which have
     been offset by 100% valuation allowances of $4,028,000 and $2,665,000,
     respectively. The deferred tax assets are primarily due to the Company's
     federal and state net operating loss (NOL's) carryforwards available to
     offset future taxable income, if any, of approximately $9,388,000, which
     expire in years up to 2012. However, ultimate utilization of these NOL's is
     dependent on future taxable income of the Company, subject to certain
     limitations, as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains trend information and other forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those identified
below in "Overview."

OVERVIEW.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, revenues were $43,980 and the
Company experienced a net loss of $1,073,715, as compared to revenues of $3,364
and a net loss of $655,026 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  For the
nine months ended March 31, 1998, revenues were $273,646 and the Company
incurred a net loss of $5,975,111, as compared to revenues of $19,099 and a net
loss of $1,301,015 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.  On March 28, 1997,
the Company completed its initial public offering which had commenced on
February 10, 1997 (the "IPO").  As a result of the IPO, the Company received net
proceeds of $5,347,724 (before deducting certain expenses payable by the
Company).  However, those proceeds have now been spent and the Company continues
to sustain substantial losses, which now threaten its ability to continue as a
going concern.  In the long run, the Company's future depends on: (i) finding a
strategic partner; (ii) the development of complementary products; (iii)
completion and successful marketing of the SCOOP(TM) CD-ROM journalism game;
(iv) the formation of joint-marketing alliances for corporate sponsorship of
schools through the Company's Reading Partners Program and/or the sale of
advertising space in its Tomorrow's Morning newspaper (the "Newspaper"); (v)
getting one or more television shows, or interstitial news "flashes", on the
air; and (vi) expansion into ancillary publishing and merchandising through
redirecting the Company's content and/or licensing the Company's characters and
identity.  However, as discussed below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources,"
because virtually all available cash has been exhausted due to continuing
losses, the Company requires an immediate infusion of working capital to remain
in operation.  There can, however, be no guarantee that the Company will be able
to obtain such working capital, in which event it will most likely be required
to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $43,980, as compared to
$3,364 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  This increase in revenues was
primarily the result of the Company's Spring 1997 and Fall 1997 direct response
advertising campaigns (the "1997 Advertising Campaigns"), which have generated
orders for approximately 125,000 subscriptions net of cancellations through
March 31, 1998 (see, however, Note 1 regarding further cancellations and
subscription refunds).  Costs and expenses increased to $1,119,180 during the
three months ended March 31, 1998, well up from $664,899 during the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.

Total interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $1,577, as
compared to $62,777 for the same three month period in 1997.  This decrease of
approximately 97% is attributable to the IPO, which resulted in all of the
Company's convertible notes (6% Convertible Notes due 1996, 6% Convertible Notes
due 1997 and 7% Convertible Notes due 1999) being automatically converted into
537,227 shares of Common Stock.  Due to those conversions, all interest costs
associated with those notes stopped accruing in March 1997.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company experienced a net loss of
$1,073,715, an increase of approximately 64% from the $655,026 net loss incurred
in the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase in net loss was
primarily due to the factors described above with respect to costs and operating
expenses, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.


Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:

Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 were $273,646, as compared to
$19,099 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.  This approximately 14-fold
increase in revenues was primarily the result of the 1997 Advertising Campaigns.
In the nine months ended March 31, 1997, no formalized marketing was occurring.
Costs and expenses increased to $6,275,307 during the nine months ended March
31, 1998, well up from $1,327,146 during the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
This approximately 373% increase includes (i) $2,026,204 of 


                                                                         Page 10
<PAGE>
 
noncash compensation and consulting expense that was recognized in connection
with the freezing of the Company's variable nondilutive stock options as well as
the exercise by unrelated parties of stock options that were previously granted
by the Company, (ii) approximately $1,032,000 of marketing expense related to
the Company's 1997 Advertising Campaigns, and (iii) $552,000 of research and
development costs associated with the SCOOP(TM) CD-ROM.

Total interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was $4,045, as
compared to $143,010 for the same nine month period in 1997.  This decrease of
approximately 97% is attributable to the IPO, which resulted in all of the
Company's convertible notes being automatically converted into 537,227 shares of
Common Stock.  Due to those conversions, all interest costs associated with
those notes stopped accruing in March 1997.

For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company experienced a net loss of
$5,975,111, an increase of approximately 359% from the $1,301,015 net loss
incurred in the nine months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase in net loss was
primarily due to the factors described above with respect to costs, operating
expenses and noncash expenses, partially offset by a decrease in interest
expense.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  To date, the Company's primary capital needs
have been to fund the development and growth of the Newspaper (including the
costs of its marketing campaign in Fall 1995 and the 1997 Advertising Campaigns)
and the research and development of synergistic children's media products.
Prior to the IPO, the Company's primary sources of financing were proceeds from
the sale of Common Stock and certain promissory notes convertible into Common
Stock, as well as various short-term loans.  Since inception, sales of the
Newspaper and certain custom-published Newspaper inserts have been essentially
the sole source of Company revenue.  To the extent that sales of the Newspaper
are directed at schools (which are currently the source of most subscriptions),
such business is seasonal, with most sales taking place between September and
June.  Seasonality is not believed to be a factor with non-school sales.

In June 1997, the Company completed the first phase of its 1997 Advertising
Campaigns, which resulted in the Company receiving orders approximating $150,000
for approximately 50,000 subscriptions beginning in September 1997.  As of
September 30, 1997, the second phase of the 1997 Advertising Campaigns had
generated orders for approximately 300,000 additional subscriptions, initially
resulting in total orders of approximately 350,000 generated by the 1997
Advertising Campaigns.  However, through March 31, 1998, approximately 225,000
of those subscriptions have been canceled and, due to the suspension of
Newspaper publication between March 23, 1998 and May 18, 1998, there is a
liability for potential subscription refunds of approximately $48,000.

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had current assets of $223,040 virtually all
of which were derived from subscription sales. To date, the Company has utilized
all of its IPO proceeds and those subscription receivables already collected. In
the Company's fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company began seeking
approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 in outside debt and/or equity funding in
order to be able to complete the development of SCOOP(TM) without having to use
existing funds. To date, the Company has obtained only $125,000 of that funding.
However, because of the importance of SCOOP(TM) to the future of the Company,
the Company has continued to fund development of that product out of existing
funds. This, combined with a greater than expected number of subscription
cancellations and the inability to obtain significant corporate sponsorship of
schools through the Reading Partners Program, has depleted the Company's working
capital to a greater extent than was previously expected. As a result, the
Company is experiencing considerable difficulty in meeting financial obligations
to certain of its creditors, primarily the vendor which has printed the
Newspaper and its landlord. In order for the Company to avoid further suspension
of publication of the Newspaper and otherwise continue its normal activities,
the Company must immediately raise approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 through
bank borrowings, public or private debt or equity offerings, or otherwise. In
addition to discussions with prospective lenders, as well as continued
solicitation of Newspaper sponsorships through the Reading Partners Program, the
Company is attempting to raise at least a portion of the needed short-term funds
through the private issuance of convertible debt or convertible preferred stock.
The Company is also continuing discussions with several prospective distributors
of SCOOP(TM), which could result in a substantial royalty advance to the Company
which would be used to complete the production of SCOOP(TM). There can be no
guarantee that any of such funding will be available on terms favorable to the
Company or its shareholders, if at all. If needed funds are not available, the
Company will most likely be required to seek protection under the bankruptcy
laws.



                                                                         Page 11
<PAGE>
 
As to longer-term funding requirements, the Company is continuing to pursue
opportunities for a private equity offering of up to $5 million.  In addition,
the Company is also investigating other approaches to obtain long-term operating
funds while also maximizing shareholder value.  To date, those approaches
include, but are not limited to, a possible merger with the appropriate entity
or a sale of the Company or its assets.  There can be no guarantee that any of
the Company's efforts will be successful or, if successful, that they will
result in a transaction on terms favorable to the Company or its shareholders.
If needed long-term funds are not available, the Company may be required to
curtail its operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS 128"). FAS
128 will change the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share. FAS 128 requires presentation of "basic" and "diluted"
earnings per share, as defined, on the face of the income statement for all
entities with complex capital structures. FAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires
restatement of all prior period earnings per share amounts. Management does not
believe that this pronouncement will have a material impact on its earnings per
share amounts when adopted in fiscal 1998.

On June 30, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130"). FAS
130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. FAS 130 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires
restatement of earlier periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the
requirements of FAS 130.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
- --------------------------------------------------

(a)  Not applicable.

(b)  Not applicable.

(c)  On March 9, 1998, the Company issued warrants for 125,000 shares of Common
     Stock (exercisable at $2.20 per share for five years) to Wilmington
     Trust Company, Trustee under Agreement dated 3/17/78 with Andrea Currier
     attached to a Company promissory note for $125,000 (which is convertible
     into 62,500 shares of Common Stock).  The securities were issued in
     reliance on the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
     1933 because no public offering was involved.

(d)  Not applicable.


Item 5.  Other Information
- --------------------------

Due to a lack of funds and credit, the publication of the Newspaper was
temporarily suspended after the March 23, 1998 issue. Publication will be
resumed with the May 18, 1998 issue.

The Company is awaiting a determination from the National Association of
Securities Dealers as to whether its Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants are
eligible for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Currently, the Company is in default with various creditors and its landlord.
Such defaults will continue until funds are obtained as described in Part I
above, without which, the Company will most likely have to seek protection under
the bankruptcy laws.
