NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         Scientific Learning Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on
November 30, 1995 in the State of California and was reincorporated on May 2,
1997 in the State of Delaware. The Company commenced operations in February
1996. The Company operates in one business segment, which is the development,
marketing and sale of proprietary training software and other education
products and services designed to increase human learning and performance.
The Company's revenues have been derived primarily from the Fast ForWord
family of programs, which are designed to improve language and reading
skills. The Company's products are delivered through a variety of
distribution channels, including sales to public schools, speech and language
professionals in private practice and direct-to-consumer channels.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The interim financial information as of March 31, 2000 and for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is unaudited, but includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that the
Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position
at such date and its results of operations and cash flows for those periods.

     These condensed financial statements and notes should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes
thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

     Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future periods.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

         Basic and diluted net loss per share information for all periods is
presented under the requirement of FAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Basic
net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of
shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of
stock options, warrants, and convertible securities. Potentially dilutive
securities

<PAGE>

have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as
their inclusion would be antidilutive.

         The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share, as well as
basic and diluted pro forma net loss per share showing the effect of the
conversion of preferred stock to common upon completion of the Company's
initial public offering in July 1999, is as follows (in thousands, except
share and per share amounts):

OVERVIEW

         We develop, market and sell proprietary training software and other
educational products and services. Our programs, products and services are
based on research on how the brain works and are designed to increase human
learning and performance. Language and reading skills are the foundation for
all learning, and we have developed programs to help children, adolescents
and adults learn how to read or become better readers. Our language and
reading programs, Fast ForWord, Step 4word and 4wd, are intensive,
computer-based training programs that focus on improving critical language
and reading skills. Fast ForWord was launched in 1997, Step 4word in 1998 and
4wd in 1999. These training programs are based on scientific research and
have been extensively field-tested. In 1999, we also began selling Reading
Edge, a language and reading assessment product, the Away We Go! family of
software and storybooks, and CrossTrain professional development software.

         We also offer professional development seminars in which educators,
speech and language professionals and other professionals can learn about
recent developments in brain research and the practical application of our
programs as well as earn continuing education credit. Our products are
delivered through a variety of distribution channels, including sales to
public schools, referrals from speech and language professionals in private
practice and direct-to-consumer channels through our web sites.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     REVENUES. Total revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 156.0%, to $3.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period
in 1999. Program and product revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 193.3%,
to $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same
period in 1999 because of increased program activations in speech and
language professional and public school markets. Service revenues increased
by $11,000, or 4.2%, to $275,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999 due to an increased number of
professional development seminars and software installations in public
schools.

     COST OF REVENUES. Total cost of revenues increased by $412,000, or
123.7%, to $745,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the
same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased
to 21.7% from 24.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to the
prior year. Cost of program revenues decreased to 15.6% from 16.8% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 due to lower royalties and because technical
support and Internet hosting costs declined as a percentage of revenues,
reflecting growth in program volume. Cost of services revenues increased to
91.6% from 57.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 due to costs of
training and installations of programs in public schools. To encourage
schools to adopt Fast ForWord, we have offered discounts on training and
installation services.

     SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses increased
$2.2 million, or 78.1%, to $5.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable
to increased personnel, marketing and travel costs.

<PAGE>

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased $508,000, or 61.3%, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 compared to the same period in 1999. We expect to increase research and
development expenses in the future as we continue to refine current products
and develop additional products based upon our proprietary technology and our
neuroscience expertise.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased $482,000, or 51.0%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily
attributable to increased personnel, consulting, legal and travel costs.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. We recorded no provision for income taxes in
the quarters March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 as we incurred losses during
such periods.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the
past and are expected to fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of
a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Factors that may
affect our quarterly operating results include those discussed herein with
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999, under the heading "Business - Risk Factors",
and as disclosed in other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results
may be caused by many factors including, among others:

   -    the demand for technology-based education and training programs and
        products;

   -    the long sales cycle of our products;

   -    the size and timing of product orders and implementation;

   -    the revenue mix among our programs, products and services;

   -    the timely development, introduction and market acceptance of our
        existing and future products, if any;

   -    the pricing of our programs, products and services and the programs,
        products and services of our competitors;

   -    seasonality in product purchase and usage;

   -    competitive conditions;

   -    our ability to attract and retain experienced personnel;

   -    the availability of government funding for public schools;

   -    public school calendars and budget cycles;

   -    our ability to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights;

<PAGE>


   -    the number and timing of Fast ForWord training seminars for educators,
        speech and language professionals and other professionals; and

   -    general economic and market conditions.


         We cannot assure you that we will be able to predict our future
revenues accurately, and we may not be able to adjust spending in a timely
manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any
significant shortfall of revenues in relation to our expectations could cause
significant fluctuations in quarterly operating results, which would have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         Demand for our programs and services is subject to various seasonal
influences which can vary depending on the distribution channel being
employed. We do not have sufficient operating experience in our various
distribution channels to predict the overall effect of various seasonal
factors and their effect on future quarterly operating results. We believe
that, because of the intensive nature of our training programs, demand for
our programs from speech and language professionals in private practice may
be lower during the school year than in the summer. We may also experience
seasonality in the public school market due to public school calendars and
budget cycles.

         As a result of all the foregoing factors, and in light of our
limited operating history, our quarterly revenues and operating results are
difficult to forecast, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of
our operating results will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be
relied upon as an indication of future performance. It is likely that our
future quarterly operating results from time to time will not meet the
expectations of market analysts or investors, which may have an adverse
effect on the price of our common stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash used in operating activities was $6.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $3.7 million in the same period in
1999. This increase was primarily attributable to operating losses of $4.8
million and increases in prepaid expenses and other assets and decreases in
deferred revenues of $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, partially
offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $1.1 million. The increase in
prepaid expenses and other assets is due primarily to increased inventory and
capitalization of research and development expenditures.

         Cash used in investing activities was $603,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $259,000 in the same period in 1999. The
cash outlays consisted principally of the acquisition of computer equipment,
furniture and fixtures.

         As of March 31, 2000, we had cash and short-term investments of
$23.5 million. We believe that these funds will be sufficient to finance our
presently anticipated operating losses, planned capital expenditure
requirements and internal growth for at least the next 18 months.

<PAGE>

         We currently have no significant long-term obligations which extend
beyond 18 months except in connection with the lease of our current corporate
office facility which requires minimum lease payments of approximately $80,000
per month through September 2002, and a new office facility which will require
payments of approximately $160,000 per month starting in January 2001 for a
period of eight years.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we can
earn on our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial
instruments in our investment portfolio. We ensure the safety and
preservation of our invested principal funds by limiting default risks,
market risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in
safe and high-credit quality securities. A hypothetical increase or decrease
in market interest rates by 10% from the market interest rates at March 31,
2000 would not cause the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents to
change by a material amount. Declines in interest rates over time will
however reduce our interest income.

     We considered the provisions of Financial Reporting Release No. 48,
"Disclosure of Accounting Policies for Derivative Financial Instruments and
Derivative Commodity Instruments, and Disclosure of Quantitative and
Qualitative Information about Market Risk Inherent in Derivative Financial
Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity
Instruments." We had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity
instruments at March 31, 2000. Our revenue, capital expenditures and nearly
all of our expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars. We believe we have
minimal exposure to financial market risks associate with changes in foreign
currency exchange rates at this time.
