The accompanying  interim  consolidated  financial  statements are unaudited and
include the accounts of Bernard  Haldane  Associates,  Inc.  ("Haldane") and its
subsidiaries.

NOTE 1

   In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial
   statements  contain all material and  significant  adjusting and  eliminating
   entries  consisting only of normal  recurring  adjustments  and  eliminations
   necessary to present  fairly the financial  condition as of February 28, 1997
   and the results of operations  and cash flows for the nine months then ended.
   The results of operations  for the nine month period ended  February 28, 1997
   are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results of  operations  for the year
   ended May 31, 1997.

NOTE 2

   The Company  utilizes  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109,
   "Accounting for Income Taxes," to record income taxes.

   The major  temporary  difference  which gives rise to  deferred  taxes is the
   allowance for doubtful accounts.

NOTE 4

   On May 31, 1996,  the Company  adopted a plan to terminate  its travel agency
   operations.  The operations  were disposed of in December 1996. The operating
   results of the travel  agency  segment  for the nine and three  months  ended
   February  28,  1997 are shown  separately  in the  accompanying  consolidated
   income statement.  The 1996 consolidated  statements of income and cash flows
   have been restated to segregate  the  operating  results of the travel agency
   segment.  Revenues  of the  travel  agency  segment,  net of direct  expenses
   amounted to $67,027 and $-0- for the nine and three months ended February 28,
   1997,  respectively,  and $79,383  and $89,874 for the nine and three  months
   ended February 29, 1996,  respectively,  and are not included in consolidated
   revenues.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT"S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION


NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1996
VS.
NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1996


      Royalty  payments  from  licensee  offices  for the nine  months and three
months  periods  ended  February  29, 1997  totaled  $1,775,923  and $578,590 as
compared to $1,624,003 and $516,570  during the same periods in the prior fiscal
year.  The Company has  recognized a total of $131,140 in revenues from the sale
of territorial licenses as compared to no revenues at all in the prior period.

      Additional  revenues  for the quarter  ended  February  28,  1997  include
$79,516 in interest and dividend  income for the nine months ended  February 28,
1997 as compared to $119,226 during the nine months ended February 29, 1996.

      Total  revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 1997 as compared to
February 29, 1997 were  $1,986,579 as compared to $1,743,329.  This 14% increase
in  revenues  is due  primarily  to the growth of the  Haldane  system.  Similar
increases in revenues were reported for the three month period  increasing  from
$562,246 to  $649,042.  The 14% gain in revenues was offset by a 21% increase in
expenses  increasing from $1,092,773 to $1,327,212.  The Company has had to hire
additional staff to properly oversee the Haldane  operations.  In addition,  the
Company is incurring certain start-up costs in connection with the launch of its
First Career program, a career consulting program targeted at graduating college
seniors.

      As a result of increased  expenses,  net income after taxes remains almost
constant at $428,941 as compared to $428,940.  With fewer issued and outstanding
shares as a result of the Company's  share  repurchase  program,  net income per
share increased from $.35 per share to $.42 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


FEBRUARY 28, 1997 AS COMPARED TO MAY 31, 1996


      Total current  assets as of February 28, 1997 were  $2,673,097 as compared
to  $2,147,294,  an increase  of 24%.  More than  $285,000  of this  increase is
attributable to notes receivable arising from the sale of territorial  licenses.
Total assets have increased from $3,424,830 to $3,959,292.

      Total current  liabilities  increased  from $395,651 to $587,968 and total
liabilities  increased  from  $951,450 to  $1,112,086.  Despite this increase of
nearly 50% in current liabilities,  management does not anticipate any cash flow
problems.

      Management  believes that the Company has  sufficient  revenues to finance
ongoing business activities.
