             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.       The Company and Basis of Presentation
         -------------------------------------

         The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997, consolidated
statement of income for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1997,
the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) for the
six months ended December 31, 1997 and the consolidated statement of cash flows
for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its annual
financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997, included in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration Statement No. 333-
14981), and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.

         In the opinion of the management of Bright Horizons, Inc. (the
"Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring accruals) which are
necessary to present fairly its financial position as of December 31, 1997 and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month and six month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected
for the full year.

2.       Initial Public Offering of Common Stock
         ---------------------------------------

         On November 13, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering
of 2,970,000 shares of its common stock, of which 1,350,000 shares were issued
and sold by the Company and 1,620,000 of which were sold by the Selling
Shareholders, at an offering price of $13.00 per share (the "Offering"). On
November 24, 1997, Selling Shareholders sold an additional 445,500 shares to
satisfy the underwriters' over allotment option. The Company received net
proceeds of approximately $15.6 million (after deducting underwriting discounts
and expenses). Approximately $4.0 million was used to repay outstanding debt.
The Company intends to use the balance of the net proceeds for working capital
and general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential
acquisitions and new centers currently under development.

         In connection with the Offering, all outstanding shares of the
Company's Series A Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B
Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series C Mandatorily
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Convertible Preferred
Stock") were converted into an aggregate of 3,100,512 shares of Common Stock,
and outstanding warrants which otherwise would have expired upon the closing of
the offering were converted into 303,924 shares of Common Stock. The mandatorily
redeemable preferred stock was initially recorded at fair value. From the date
of issuance to the date of the mandatory redemption for common stock, $9.1
million in accretion and dividends were recorded as charges to retained earnings
and as increases to the carrying value of preferred stock. Upon the redemption
of these securities for common stock, the carrying value of the preferred stock
was recorded as a credit to common stock and paid-in capital. Redeemable Common
Stock issued in connection with an acquisition (see Note 3) was also converted
to Common Stock in connection with the Offering.

2.       Initial Public Offering of Common Stock (Continued)
         ---------------------------------------

         Also in anticipation of the Offering, the Board of Directors authorized
a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock on October 8, 1997.
Accordingly, all shares of common stock, common stock options and warrants,
preferred stock conversion ratios and per share amounts included in the
accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect
to the reverse split for all periods presented.

3.       Acquisition
         -----------

         On July 1, 1997, the Company acquired the business and substantially
all the assets and liabilities of Pacific Preschools, Inc. d.b.a. The Learning
Garden, a child care management company operating four child development centers
in Seattle, Washington, for approximately $1.6 million in cash and 108,333
shares of redeemable common stock. The redemption feature of these shares
terminated upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering (see
Note 2). The purchase price has been allocated based on the estimated fair value
of the assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition resulting in
goodwill of approximately $2.7 million which is being amortized over 25 years.
The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method and, accordingly, the
operating results of the acquired company have been included from the date of
acquisition.

4.       Unaudited Pro Forma Net Income Per Share
         ----------------------------------------

         The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128) for the quarter
ended December 31, 1997. SFAS 128 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 15 (APB 15), "Earnings Per Share" and requires the presentation of basic
earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net
income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity using the
treasury stock method. Prior period earnings per share have been restated in
accordance with SFAS 128.

         Unaudited pro forma net income per share has been calculated in
accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules for calculating net
income per share in an initial public offering and subsequent to such an
offering. Pro forma net income per share is determined by dividing net income
before preferred stock dividends and accretion on redeemable common stock and
assumes the conversion of all convertible preferred stock, redeemable common
stock, and the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the Series C
redeemable convertible preferred stock. Given the capital structure of the
Company, historical earnings per share information is not considered meaningful
or relevant and has not been presented in the accompanying financial
information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to the Three and Six
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months Ended December 31, 1996
- ------------------------------

     Net Revenues.  Net revenues increased $5.4 million, or 26.6%, to $25.6
million for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from $20.2 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1996. Net revenues increased $9.8 million, or
24.6%, to $49.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $39.9
million for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The growth in revenues is
primarily attributable to the net addition of 20 child development centers since
December 31, 1996 and  rate increases at our existing centers of approximately
3% to 4%.

     Gross Profits.  Cost of services consists of center operating expenses,
including payroll and benefits for center personnel, facilities costs including
depreciation, supplies and other expenses incurred at the center level. Gross
profit increased $1.2 million, or 46.4% to $3.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 from $2.7 million for the three months ended December
31, 1996. As a percentage of net revenues gross profit increased to 15.3% for
the three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to 13.2 % for the same period
in 1996. Gross profit increased $2.1 million, or 40.4% to $7.3 million for the
six  months ended December 31, 1997 from $5.2 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1996. As a percentage of net revenues gross profit increased to
14.6% for the six months ended December 31, 1997 compared to 12.9 % for the same
period in 1996.

     The Company achieved higher average gross profit margins from its existing
base of centers for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1997 than
it achieved for the same  periods in 1996 due to the increased proportion of
centers that have reached mature operating levels and the rapid enrollment at
newer centers.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist of regional and district  management personnel,
corporate management and administrative functions, and marketing and development
expenses for new and existing centers. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $861,000, or  43.0% to $2.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 from $2.0 million for the three months ended December
31, 1996. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 11.2% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from
9.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or  36.5% to $5.5 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1997 from $4.1 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1996. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to 11.1% for the six months ended December 31,
1997 from 10.1% for the six months ended December 31, 1996.

     The increase in selling and general administrative expenses during  the
first half of this fiscal year is primarily attributable to investments made in
additional regional management and sales personnel to support future long term
growth, the  incremental costs of operating as a publicly traded company and, to
a lesser extent,  incremental administrative costs associated with the increased
number of centers in operation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to the Three and Six
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months Ended December 31, 1996 (Continued)
- ------------------------------            

     Amortization of Non-Compete Agreements.  Expenses associated with the
amortization of non-compete agreements decreased 50.0% to $70,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997 from $140,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1996, and to $140,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from
$280,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The decrease is due to the
use of an accelerated method of amortization. The Company anticipates recording
the remaining balance of $140,000 in amortization expense associated with these
non-compete agreements in the second half of fiscal 1998.

     Income from Operations. Income from operations increased 85.1% or $444,000,
to $966,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from $522,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1996. Excluding the amortization of non-compete
agreements, operating income would have totaled $1.0 million, an increase of
$374,000, or 56.6% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from $662,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1996.   Income from operations increased
89.8% or $747,000, to $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997
from $831,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996. Excluding the
amortization of non-compete agreements, operating income would have totaled $1.7
million, an increase of  $607,000 or 54.6% for the six months ended December 31,
1997 from $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 1996.

     Interest Income (Expense), Net. Net interest income of $57,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 increased $132,000 from $75,000 of net
interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 1996.  Net interest
expense of $22,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997 decreased $121,000
from $143,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in
interest income and decrease in interest expense is attributable to the
investment of the proceeds received from the initial public offering which
closed on November 7, 1997 and the repayment of approximately $4.0 million of
debt with the proceeds from the stock offering.

     Income Taxes Benefit (Provision). The company's effective income tax rate
was 41.1% for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1997 compared
to 40.9% for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary cash requirements are the ongoing operations of its
existing centers and the addition of new centers through development or
acquisition. The Company's primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from
operations, supplemented by borrowing under its $10 million revolving line of
credit with Fleet National Bank.

     Cash provided from operations increased to $3.9 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1997, from $2.9 million for the six months ended December 31,
1996. This increase was principally due to the $1.7 million increase in deferred
revenue associated with (i) fees paid in advance during the six months ended
December 31, 1997 for long term priority

enrollment rights in certain centers and (ii) for parent tuition paid in
advance.  Such advances increased $600,000 in the same period of 1996.

     Cash used in investing activities increased to $8.7 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1997, from $1.8 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1996. This increase relates to the cash payment of $1.6 million for
the acquisition of the four Learning Garden centers on July 1, 1997 and to $7.0
million of fixed asset additions and leasehold improvements in new and existing
centers.  Of this $7.0 million, approximately $2.2 million represents
expenditures for new centers and to refurbish existing centers. The remaining
balance of $4.8 million relates to the costs associated with the acquisition of
land and construction of four centers which the Company owns and operates or
will operate upon completion, and for which the related sponsors pay fees in
advance for long-term priority enrollment rights in the center and for other
guarantees.  During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company received
$1.6 million in such fee advances, which amounts are included in deferred
revenue in the accompanying balance sheet and which are recognized as revenue
over the rights period, typically ten years.

     The Company anticipates spending an additional $300,000  through June 30,
1998 to complete construction on these centers, of which two are currently
operating and two have opened subsequent to December 31, 1997.  The Company
expects to receive additional priority enrollment and other guarantee fees
totaling approximately $300,000  from the related corporate sponsors through
June 30, 1998.

     Cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased to $11.8 million
for the six months ended December 31, 1997, from $(537,000) for the six months
ended December 31, 1996.  During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the
Company received $15.6 million in net proceeds from the Offering, repaid debt
and capital lease obligations totaling $4.6 million and borrowed $542,000 to
mortgage a center previously acquired by the Company. During the six months
ended December 31, 1996 the Company repaid $500,000 under its bank line of
credit.

     The Company believes that funds provided by operations, borrowings
available under the revolving line of credit and the net proceeds from the
Offering will be adequate to meet planned operating and capital expenditure
needs for at least the next 18 months.  However, if the Company were to make any
significant acquisitions or make significant investments in the purchase of
facilities for new or existing centers for corporate sponsors, it may be
necessary for the Company to obtain additional debt or equity financing.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     Pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended,
(Registration No. 333-14981) which was declared effective November 6, 1997, the
Company completed an initial public offering of 2,970,000 shares of its common
stock, of which 1,350,000 shares were issued and sold by the Company and
1,620,000 were sold by the Selling Stockholders, at an offering price of $13.00
per share (the "Offering").  On November 24, 1997, Selling Shareholders sold an
additional 445,500 shares to satisfy the underwriters' overallotment option.
The Company received total proceeds of approximately $17.7 million and incurred
expenses of approximately $1.2 million for  underwriting discounts and
approximately $720,000 in other expenses associated with the Offering.  The
Company intends to use the balance of the net proceeds for
