ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Certain statements contained in this Management Discussion and Analysis are not
based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements that are based
upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may ultimately prove to
be inaccurate.  Actual events and results may materially differ from anticipated
results described in such statements.  The Company's ability to achieve such
results is subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  Such risks and
uncertainties include but are not limited to, product prices, continued
availability of capital and financing, and other factors affecting the Company's
business that may be beyond its control.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The financial condition of the Company remains strong.   Working capital
increased 7.9% at May 31, 1997 to $7,994,200 when compared with working capital
of $7,410,000 at year-end February 28, 1997.  Inventory levels increased
slightly as the Company continued to evaluate and improve its purchasing
procedures in order to supply adequate inventory to meet projected sales levels.
Accounts payable decreased 5.7% at May 31, 1997 over year-end February 28, 1997,
the result of smaller purchases of inventory in the current period and the
payments for inventory received in prior periods.

The revised Marketing Plan which the Company put into effect October 1, 1996
resulted in improved pre-tax margin of 16.0% for the quarter ended May 31, 1997
when compared with 8.7% for the quarter ended May 31, 1996.  Although the pre-
tax margins improved, net sales for the quarter ended May 31, 1997 suffered a
18.1 % decline from the net sales for the same period a year ago. Management
believes this erosion in net sales can be halted by making refinements to the
current Marketing Plan.  Effective June 1, 1997 the Company revised the
marketing plan by increasing the override percentages for sales commissions in
the Home Business Division.  Management also revised several of the incentive
programs in the Home Business Division.  Management is optimistic that these
improvements in the Marketing Plan for the Home Business Division will result in
increased revenues for this Division and will also help the consultants and
supervisors in their sales efforts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Revenues - Net sales from the Home Business Division were $2,520,900 for the
- --------                                                                    
three months ended May 31, 1997, down 25.0% from the $3,359,100 for the three
months ended May 31, 1996.  The Company believes this decrease in net sales is
the direct result of the changes implemented by the Company last year in the
commission override structure.  The Company has re-evaluated the commission
override program for the Home Business Division and has made some improvements
by increasing override percentages.  In addition, several new incentive programs
have been added.  Management believes these improvements in the Home Business
commission programs should provide for continued growth through an increased
consultant network and will lead to increased sales in future quarters.
Effective July 1, 1996, the Company transferred responsibility of sales to
schools and libraries from the Library Division to the Home Business Division.
Net sales from the Library Division were $319,300 for the three months ended May
31, 1996.

Net sales from the Publishing Division were $2,139,500 for the three months
ended May 31, 1997, an increase of 6.3% over net sales of $2,011,800 for the
three months ended May 31, 1996.  The Company believes this increase resulted
from increased market penetration as the Company's products become more well
known in the marketplace.  The Division attends several national trade shows
each year to present the Company's products to a wide variety of purchasers.
This coupled with the aggressive internal telephone sales force which the
Company operates helped to generate an increase in net sales for the Division.
Management believes that it has a superior product line and is optimistic that
the Publishing Division can maintain its market share in the highly competitive
publishing market.

Operating Expenses - The Company's cost of sales was $1,865,900 for the three

months ended May 31, 1997 compared with $2,313,300 for the three months ended
May 31, 1996, a decrease of 19.3%.  Cost of goods as a percentage of gross sales
was 26.3% for the three months ended May 31, 1997 and 28.1% for the same three
month period last year.  Cost of goods as a percentage of gross sales will
fluctuate depending upon the product mix sold.

Operating and selling expenses decreased 25.2% to $843,000 for the three months
ended May 31, 1997 compared with $1,126,900 for the three months ended May 31,
1996.  As a percentage of gross sales, operating and selling expenses  were
11.9% and 13.7% for the three month periods ending May 31, 1997 and 1996
respectively.   Contributing to the decrease in operating and selling expenses
were reduced travel contest expenses and reduces sales incentives in the Home
Business Division.  Also contributing to the decrease was a reduction in credit
card fees, the direct result of reduced sales in the Home Business Division.

Sales commissions were $825,200 for the three months ended May 31, 1997 compared
with $1,344,800 for the three months ended May 31, 1996, a decrease of 38.6%.
Sales commissions as a percentage of gross sales were 11.6% and 16.3% for the
three month periods ending May 31, 1997 and May 31, 1996.  Sales commissions
vary with the product being sold and the Division making the sale.  The Home
Business Division and the Publishing Division have different and separate
commission programs.  The decrease in sales commissions for the quarter ended
May 31, 1997 resulted from the revised commission structure which the Company
implemented in October, 1996 in the Home Business Division.

General and administrative expenses increased 25.9% to $361,100 for the quarter
ended May 31, 1997 compared with $286,900 for the quarter ended May 31, 1996.
When expressed as a percentage of gross sales, general and administrative
expenses  were 5.1% for the quarter ending May 31, 1997 and 3.5% for the quarter
ended May 31, 1996.  Depreciation expense on data processing equipment and the
addition of corporate staff contributed to the increase in general and
administrative expenses.

Interest expense declined 60% to $49,800 for the period ended May 31, 1997
versus $124,300 for the period ended May 31, 1996. The average borrowing under
the bank loan declined from $5.6 million during the quarter ended May 31, 1996
to $2.3 million for the quarter ended May 31, 1997, resulting in the decreased
interest expense.  This reduction in bank borrowings can be attributed to the
continuing efforts of the Company to manage its inventory levels through
improved efficiencies in purchasing policies.
