         adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary
         for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
         presented.

(2)      RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

GENERAL

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Mangement's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Edmark
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995. This analysis has been prepared pursuant to the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to
serve as a basis for projections of future events. The following contains
forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results may differ significantly from the results anticipated by those
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I of the Edmark Corporation
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.

The Company's business is highly seasonal. Generally, sales of products in the
consumer channel are highest during the holiday quarter, the Company's second
fiscal quarter, and weakest during the Company's third fiscal quarter, while
sales of products in the education channel tend to be higher during the
Company's first and fourth fiscal quarters.

The Company's quarterly operating results also fluctuate or may fluctuate as a
result of the number, amount and timing of new product introductions, product
shipments, acceptance by customers of new products, product mix, product
returns, promotional programs, marketing expenditures and product development
expenditures. Net revenues in any quarter are principally dependent on orders
booked and shipped in that quarter. A significant portion of the Company's
operating expense is relatively fixed, and planned expenditures in any given
quarter are based on sales forecasts. Accordingly, if net revenues do not meet
the Company's expectations in any given quarter, operating results could be
adversely affected. In addition, if planned product introductions are delayed
beyond the peak selling seasons, the Company's operating results could be
adversely affected. There can be no assurance that the recent year-to-year and
quarter-to-quarter revenue growth rates will be sustained. Any significant
shortfall in net revenues from levels expected by securities analysts or
shareholders could result in substantial volatility in the trading price of the
Company's common stock.

The Company has been developing and publishing educational materials for
children since its inception in 1970. The Company entered the consumer
multimedia educational software market during fiscal 1993, with the release of
its first two titles during the 1992 holiday season. As of March 31, 1996, the
Company had published 13 multimedia educational software titles. All of the
Company's multimedia titles are available for 



                                       8
<PAGE>   9
both Windows and Macintosh computers on CD-ROM. At March 31, 1996, nine of the
Company's PC-based multimedia software titles were designed for Windows 95. The
Company's CD-ROM products are manufactured in both Windows and Macintosh
versions, and products which are designed for Windows 95 are compatible with
Windows 3.1.

</TABLE>

The increase in consumer channel sales when compared to the comparable prior
year periods is due primarily to an increase in the number of products available
for sale coupled with broader retail distribution. At the time of product
shipment, the Company establishes allowances for stock balancing, including
stock balancing related to the transition to Windows 95 product, price
protection and returns of defective, shelf-worn and damaged products, and for
estimated potential future returns of products. Actual product returns during
the current quarter amounted to $1,109,000, and the Company's allowance for
sales returns at March 31, 1996, was $1,813,000. A significant majority of the
Company's consumer channel product sales are derived from CD-ROM product.

The increase in sales of multimedia software products in the education channel
is due primarily to an increase in the number of products available and expanded
distribution in the education market.

The Company expects sales of its special education products will continue to
decline over time, reflecting the Company's strategic emphasis on its multimedia
software products.

The Company also recognized $521,000 of research and development co-funding
revenue during the quarter related to the previously announced strategic
alliance with Harcourt Brace School Publishers. For the nine month period, these
revenues were $1,623,000. There were no comparable co-funding revenues in the
respective prior year 



                                       9

periods. In the year ago quarter, the Company recognized $1.0 million of revenue
related to the licensing of certain software technology to Harcourt, which
substantially affects all of the following comparisons when stated as a
percentage of net revenues. The Company has not, and does not expect to, receive
any additional technology license fees under this agreement.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was $1,305,000 in the current quarter, a decrease of 10% from
$1,447,000 in the year ago quarter, and decreased as a percentage of net
revenues to 21% from 26%. For the nine month period, cost of revenues was
$6,038,000, an increase of 23% from $4,907,000 in the prior year period, but a
decrease as a percentage of net revenues to 23% from 30%. The decreases as a
percentage of net revenues for both periods were primarily due to the relative
mix of revenue shifting to products with higher gross profit margins. Excluding
revenues under the Harcourt Agreement, cost of revenues as a percentage of net
revenues was 23% in the current quarter and 25% for the nine month period,
compared to 32% in each of the comparable prior year periods. Costs associated
with revenue recognized under the strategic alliance with Harcourt are included
with research and development expense.

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were $2,613,000 in the current quarter, an increase
of 57% from $1,663,000 in the year ago quarter, and increased as a percentage of
net revenues to 43% from 30%. For the nine month period, sales and marketing
expenses were $9,083,000, up 73% from $5,254,000 in the prior year period, and
increased as a percentage of net revenues to 35% from 32%. The expense increases
were primarily due to higher salaries and other costs associated with increased
sales of the Company's line of multimedia educational software products.

General and administrative expenses were $737,000 in the current quarter, an
increase of 41% from $523,000 in the year ago quarter, and increased as a
percentage of net revenues to 12% from 9%. For the nine month period, general
and administrative expenses were $2,090,000, up 37% from $1,526,000 in the prior
year period, but a decrease as a percentage of net revenues to 8% from 9%. The
expense increases were primarily due to higher salaries and other costs
associated with the Company's expanded operations.

Research and development expenses were $2,001,000 in the current quarter, an
increase of 76% from $1,139,000 in the year ago quarter, and increased as a
percentage of net revenues to 33% from 20%. For the nine month period, research
and development expenses were $5,939,000, up 91% from $3,103,000 in the prior
year period, and increased as a percentage of net revenues to 23% from 19%. The
increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to
costs associated with continued expansion of the Company's line of multimedia
software products. Salaries and related costs represent a substantial portion of
this expense increase. 




                                       10

Income Taxes

Income taxes amounted to a benefit of $138,000 in the quarter and an expense of
$863,000 for the nine month period. The Company's effective tax rate for both
the quarter and nine month period differed from the statutory rate due to
reductions in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and tax exempt
interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On August 9, 1995, the Company consummated a public offering of 1,121,250 shares
of Common Stock, of which 638,873 shares were sold by the Company, which raised
net proceeds of approximately $22.5 million. As of March 31, 1996, the Company
had cash and short-term investments of $29.9 million and working capital of
$35.4 million.

The Company uses its working capital to finance ongoing operations, to fund the
development and introduction of new products and to acquire capital equipment.
During the nine month period ended March 31, 1996, the Company's operating
activities provided cash of $1.0 million, and the Company invested $1.2 million
in equipment and leasehold improvements.

The Company expects that cash flows from operations and existing cash and
short-term investments will be adequate to meet the Company's cash requirements
for the next 12 months. The Company's cash and short-term investments may
decline during that period for several reasons, including higher planned levels
of product development activities and greater working capital requirements
associated with higher planned sales levels.
