NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - The information shown with respect to the three months ended May 31,
------
2000 and 1999, which is unaudited, includes all adjustments which in the opinion

accruals, entering into the determination of the results shown except as noted
in this report. The results of operations for the three months ended May 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected at year end due to seasonality of the product sales.

          The Company occasionally purchases book inventory in quantities in
          excess of what will be sold within the normal operating cycle due to
          minimum order requirements of the Company's primary supplier. These
          amounts are included in non-current inventory.

Note 4- Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
------
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is based on the combined weighted average number of common
shares outstanding increased, when appropriate, for the number of common shares
issuable upon exercise of stock options, computed using the treasury stock
method.

2,000,000 shares as market conditions warrant.

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 at May
31, 2000 was $7,307,100 compared to working capital of $7,589,300 at the end of
fiscal year 2000. Accounts receivable increased 19.9% during the first quarter
of fiscal year 2001. Several sizable orders were received during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001 with payment due during the second quarter,
resulting in the increase in accounts receivable. Inventory levels declined 2.7%
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001. The level of inventory will
fluctuate depending upon sales and the timing of shipments from the Company's
principal supplier. The Company continuously monitors inventory to assure it has
adequate supplies on hand to meet sales requirements. The note payable to the
bank increased 20.0% during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 as the Company
paid its principal supplier and continued to repurchase stock. Accounts payable
declined 6.6% during the first three months of fiscal year 2001. A major
component of accounts payable is the amount due to the Company's principal
supplier. Increases and decreases in inventory levels as well as the timing of
the purchases and the payment terms offered by various suppliers affect the
levels of accounts payable.

In April 2000 the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per share to
shareholders of record August 1, 2000, to be paid August 10, 2000.

Pre-tax margins were 10.5% for the first quarter ended May 31, 2000 compared
with 11.4% for the three months ended May 31, 1999. Contributing to the lower
pre-tax margins was an increase in sales discounts given during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001 as special promotions were offered to increase
sales.

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

Revenues - Net sales from the Home Business Division were $2,178,700 for the
--------
three months ended May 31, 2000 compared with net sales of $2,024,500 for the
three months ended May 31, 1999, an increase of 7.6%. The Company believes this
increase resulted from the addition of new recruits and the retention of
existing consultants. The Company continues to offer new and exciting incentive
programs, travel contests and regional seminars to help stimulate sales and
recruiting. The Company has been holding leadership skills programs for the
supervisors. This program is designed to help supervisors build their business.
Management is encouraged by this increase in net sales and is hopeful that it
will continue.

Net sales from the Publishing Division were $2,071,700 for the three months
ended May 31, 2000 compared with net sales of $2,097,600 for the three months
ended May 31, 1999, a decrease of 1.2%. The juvenile paperback market is very
competitive with sales over $660 million annually. The Publishing Division's
annual sales are approximately 1.2% of industry sales. National chains
increasingly dominate the bookstore market, resulting in fewer independent
bookstores. The closing of these independent bookstores, an important market to
the Company, contributed to the decline in net sales. The Company continues to
explore the gift market and believes it offers considerable potential. Each year
the Company attends several national trade shows throughout the country to
promote its products. For these reasons Management believes the Company can
maintain its market share in the highly competitive publishing market.

Operating Expenses - The Company's cost of sales for the three months ended May
------------------
31, 2000 was $1,797,400 compared with $1,726,500 for the same three months last
year, an increase of 4.1%. Cost of sales expressed as a percentage of gross
sales was 26.7% and 26.3% respectively, for the three month periods ended May
31, 2000 and May 31, 1999. Cost of sales as a percentage of gross sales will
fluctuate depending upon the product mix sold.

Operating and selling expenses decreased 3.2% to $760,300 for the three months
ended May 31, 2000 versus $785,300 for the three months ended May 31, 1999.
These expenses expressed as a percentage of gross sales were 11.3% and 12.0% for
the three month periods ended May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999 respectively. A
decline in shipping costs in the Publishing Division contributed to the decrease
in selling and operating expenses.

Sales commissions increased 8.6% to $805,600 during the first quarter ended May
31, 2000 when compared with $741,800 for the first quarter ended May 31, 1999.
These expenses expressed as a percentage of gross sales were 11.9% for the
quarter ended May 31, 2000 versus 11.3% for the quarter ended May 31, 1999.
Sales commissions will fluctuate depending upon the product being sold and the
Division making the sale. The Home Business Division and the Publishing Division
have separate and different commission programs and rates. Commission expense
increased in both the Publishing Division and the Home Business Division.

General and administrative expenses increased 4.7% to $420,200 for the three
months ended May 31, 2000 when compared with $401,400 for the three months ended
May 31, 1999. Expressed as a percentage of gross sales, general and
administrative expenses for the period ended May 31, 2000 were 6.2% compared
with 6.1% for the period ended May 31, 1999. Increases in salaries and benefits,
primarily to existing employees, contributed to the increase in general and
administrative expenses.

Interest expense increased 161.5% to $34,000 for the three months ended May 31,
2000 when compared with interest expense of $13,000 for the three months ended
May 31, 1999. The average amount borrowed during the first quarter ended May 31,
2000 increased to $1,513,000 compared with an average amount borrowed of
$657,600 for the first quarter ended May 31, 1999. The interest rate charged the
Company on its borrowing ranged between 8.25% and 9.25% during the first quarter
of fiscal year 2001 compared with 7.75% during the first quarter of fiscal year
2000. The increased borrowing levels and increased interest rates resulted in
higher interest costs to the Company during the quarter ended May 31, 2000 when
compared with the same quarter last year.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
-----------------

The Company has two reportable segments: Publishing and Usborne Books at Home
("UBAH"). These reportable segments are business units that offer different
methods of distribution to different types of customers. They are managed
separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. The
Publishing Division markets its products to retail accounts, which include book,
school supply, toy and gift stores and museums, through commissioned sales
representatives, trade and specialty wholesalers and an internal telesales
group. The UBAH Division markets its product line through a network of
independent sales consultants through a combination of direct sales, home shows
and book fairs.

                                       8
<PAGE>

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating profits of the
segments which is defined as segment net sales reduced by direct cost of sales
and direct expenses. Corporate expenses, including interest and depreciation,
and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. The Company's assets are not
allocated on a segment basis.

Information by industry segment for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 1999
is set forth below:
