NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
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
August 31, 1998 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three
months ended August 31, 1998. The results of operations for the three month
period ended August 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations for the year ended May 31, 1999.
NOTE 2
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements for the three months ended August 31, 1997 in order to conform
with the current year's presentation.
NOTE 3
The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," to record income taxes.
The components of the deferred tax asset are the allowances for doubtful
accounts and credit losses.
NOTE 4
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per
Share" which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The
Companies adopted this new standard in the year ended May 31, 1998. Prior
period earnings per share were restated to conform to this new
pronouncement.

NOTE 5
In February 1998, the Companies filed an application to withdraw its common
shares from the public market. Such application is under review by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain of the Companies' stockholders offered to purchase the shares of
common stock owned by the public investors at $3 per share, which
represents the valuation made by a financial advisory company in its
fairness opinion. The number of shares to be purchased is 217,695 shares or
$653,085.
NOTE 6
Additional paid-in capital and retained earnings at May 31, 1997 have been
adjusted to record the cumulative equity of minority interests in losses
for the period 1989 through February 1995, not previously recorded. On
February 2, 1995 such interests were purchased through the issuance of
75,000 shares of common stock. The error had no effect on net income for
years subsequent to May 31, 1995.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1998
VS.
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997
Royalty payments from licensee offices for the three month period ended
August 31, 1998 totaled $649,421 as compared to $703,535 during the same period
in the prior fiscal year. This represents a decrease of nearly 8% in royalty
revenue despite an increase in the number of licensee offices. During this same
period the Company recognized $178,405 in consulting income from the operation
of several company owned Haldane offices which were acquired when the licensor
terminated the license of a prior licensee. During the same period in the prior
calendar quarter the Company recognized $2,100 in consulting revenues. (Company
owned offices report revenues as consulting income and do not pay royalties.)
The Company did not recognize any revenues from the sale of territorial licenses
as compared to $41,721 during the three month period ended August 31, 1997.
Additional revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 1998 include
$20,153 in interest and dividend income as compared to $29,922 during the three
month period ended August 31, 1997. This decrease in interest income is directly
attributable to the Company's declining cash position.
Total revenues for the three months ended August 31, 1998 as compared
to August 31, 1997 were $847,979 as compared to $777,278. This 9% increase in
revenues is directly attributable to the fact that the Company was required to
operate several Haldane offices and does not reflect an increase in
profitability. In fact, net income has declined significantly due to an increase
in expenses from $511,253 to $817,624, an increase of approximately 60%.
Income before taxes decreased from $266,025 to $ 30,355; a decline of more
than 76%. Payroll and general and administrative costs increased from $145,389
to $276,335, an
-9-
<PAGE>
increase of 90%; while general and administrative expenses increased from
$231,944 to $375,251, an increase of 62%. These increased costs were primarily
attributable to the costs incurred by the company in assuming certain
preexisting obligations of the terminated licensed offices and additional fees
and costs incurred in operating these terminated licensee offices as company
owned Haldane offices. Net income after taxes for the three months ended August
31, 1998 totaled $18,355 as compared to $156,025 for the three months ended
August 31, 1997. Income per share of common stock declined from $.16 to $.02.
With the anticipated sale of all company owned offices to be completed
in the Company's second quarter, management anticipates a significant reduction
in operating expenses and anticipates improved operating results.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
AUGUST 31, 1998 AS COMPARED TO MAY 31, 1998
Total current assets as of August 31, 1998 were $2,562,935 as compared
to $2,528,263, an increase of 1%. Cash and cash equivalents declined from
$1,693,220 to $1,495,205, while short term investments increased from $108,908
to $110,202 and accounts receivable increased nearly 50%, from $315,436 to
$475,805.
The Company reported the value of its license, equipment, and other
non-current assets of $1,325,708 as compared to $1,399,935 and total assets of
$3,888,643 as compared to $3,928,198 a decline of approximately 1%.
Total current liabilities declined from $264,199 to $218,308 and total
liabilities declined from $886,771 to $828,861, a decrease of approximately 7%.
The Company believes that its current cash position and working capital
are sufficient to meet its operational requirements for the coming year. Royalty
revenues from licensee offices and the sale of territorial rights to the Bernard
Haldnae offices are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's ongoing
operational expenses and a proposed
-10-
<PAGE>
purchase at a cost of $3.00 per share of the Company's common stock owned by
non-management and non-affiliated shareholders. Management does not anticipate
the need for any significant capital expenditures in the coming year which would
require third party financing. Nor does the Company believe that there is any
material risk of any sublicensee seeking rescission pursuant to any technical
violations of state franchise statutes.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company's systems are Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliant. The cost of such
compliance by the Company was less than $10,000. The Y2K compliance issue is the
result of com.puter programs being written using two digits rather than four to
define the applicable year. Computer programs that have time sensitive software
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. This could
result in a systems failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
The Company does not know if it s licensees are Y2K compliant but
believe that there will be no material adverse impact upon the Company if an
individual licensee's office is not Y2K compliant.
