1. Cash and cash equivalents:
Restricted cash primarily represents amounts held in
interest-bearing accounts pursuant to arrangements with
credit card processors.
2. Earnings per share:
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average
shares outstanding during each period after giving
appropriate effect for preferred stock dividends. Fully
diluted earnings per share is not presented since the
assumed conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock after
adjustment for preferred dividends is not material.
3. In September 1996, the Company closed its facility in
North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. As a result, the Company
has included $166,000 of costs associated with this in
general and administrative expenses for the first quarter
ended August 31, 1996.

For the Three Month Period Ended August 31, 1996
PART I - Financial Information
Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations.
Three months ended August 31, 1996 (first quarter) as compared to
the three months ended August 31, 1995 (first quarter)
Revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 1997
decreased $2,593,000 (24.6%) to $7,969,000 from $10,562,000 for
the
corresponding period in fiscal 1996. Renewal revenues decreased
by
$154,000 (2.7%) to $5,452,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1997
from $5,606,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
Revenues
from new member acquisitions decreased by $2,559,000 (59.3%) to
$1,759,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from
$4,318,000
for the corresponding period of 1996. The decline was a result
of
a decrease in response rates for mail solicitations,
unsatisfactory
results of new mail packages and a decrease in telemarketing.
The
Company is revising and will continue testing new packages.
Revenues from other sources increased to $758,000 for the first
quarter of 1997 from $638,000 for the corresponding period in
1996.
Direct membership fulfillment, which relates to
membership activity and includes the cost of directories,
membership cards, postage, printed materials, premiums and cash
rebates, decreased by $542,000 (36.8%) to $932,000 during the
first
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $1,474,000 for the corresponding
period
of the previous year. This decrease is principally due to a
decrease in cash rebates and reduced membership fulfillment
material.
Advertising and promotion, which are costs incurred in
acquiring members and includes solicitation postage, printed
materials, telemarketing, solicitation premiums and commissions
decreased by $1,754,000 (32.9%) to $3,574,000 during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $5,328,000 during the first quarter
of
fiscal 1996. This decrease is a result of a decrease in new
member
acquisition programs.
General and administrative expenses decreased by
$382,000
(11.1%) to $3,062,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1997
from
$3,444,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were
37.9% versus 32.6% during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and
1996, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the
first quarter of fiscal year 1997 include $166,000 in costs
associated with the closing of the Company's facility in North
Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.
Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
increased by $25,000 (25.0%) to $125,000 as compared to $100,000
for the first quarter of 1996.
As a result of the above, the Company had net income
of
$276,000 for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to net income
of
$216,000 for the first quarter of 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended August 31, 1996 cash flow
provided by operating activities was $560,000. Cash of $33,000
was
used in investing activities and $413,000 was used in financing
activities for the first three months of fiscal 1997. As a
result,
at August 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents increased by
$114,000
to $746,000 as compared to $632,000 at May 31, 1996.
