          If the results from the acquired  locations  had been  included in the
          results of operations  for the first six months of 1999 and 1998,  the
          Company's  revenue,  net  income,  and  earnings  per share would have

Note 5    On May 4, 1999,  a five-for-four split  of the Company's  common stock
          was approved.   The stock split was  effected in  the form of  a stock
          dividend  and was  paid  to stockholders  of record  on May 18,  1999.
          Shares resulting from the split were issued on or about June 8, 1999.

Note 6    The Company is  currently  negotiating a $25 million  credit  facility
          with a commercial bank,  $20  million of which is for  future business
          acquisitions  and  $5 million of  which is  for  short-term  financing
          requirements.  This credit facility  will replace the one that expired
          in June 1999 and is expected to be finalized by September 1999.

Note 7    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting

Note 8    In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board  issued SFAS No.
          131   "Disclosures  About   Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
          Information."  SFAS No. 131 was adopted  by the Company for the fiscal
          year ended December 31, 1998.

          The Company operates in two  business segments--company-owned training
          centers and franchising operations. The company-owned training centers
          segment operates  wholly-owned computer training centers in the United
          States and derives its revenues from the  operating  revenues of those
          centers.  The franchising segment franchises computer training centers
          domestically and  internationally  and supplies systems of instruction
          and sales and  management  concepts  concerning  computer  training to
          independent franchisees. The franchising segment revenues are from the
          initial franchise fees and royalties from the franchise operations and
          other  revenue  such as  from  the  Major  Accounts  Program.  The two
          segments  are managed  separately  because of the  differences  in the
          source  of  revenues  and the  services  offered.  Information  on the
          Company's segments is as follows:

Note 9    As of  December 31,  1997 the  Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
          Per Share" (EPS).  SFAS No. 128 requires  the Company to report  Basic
          EPS, as defined therein,  which assumes no  dilution from  outstanding
          stock  options,  and  Diluted EPS,  as defined therein,  which assumes
          dilution  from  the  outstanding  stock  options.   Earnings per share
          amounts for all periods  presented have been  calculated to conform to
          the requirements of SFAS No. 128.

          The  computation of Basic EPS is based on the weighted  average number
          of shares  actually  outstanding  during each year. The computation of
          Diluted  EPS is based  upon the  weighted  average  number  of  shares
          actually  outstanding,  plus the  shares  that  would  be  outstanding
          assuming  the  exercise  of  all  outstanding  options  and  warrants,
          computed using the treasury stock method.

          The weighted average number of shares outstanding in determining Basic
          EPS for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was  9,469,742 and
          9,011,878  and for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was
          9,518,799  and  9,179,678.  The  weighted  average  number  of  shares
          outstanding  used in determining  Diluted EPS for the six months ended
          June 30, 1999 and 1998 was  10,001,548 and 9,355,280 and for the three
          months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was 10,053,743 and 9,597,471.

          The  difference  between  the shares  used for  calculating  Basic and
          Diluted EPS relates to common stock  equivalents  consisting  of stock
          options and warrants outstanding during the respective periods.

                         PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (Dollars in thousands)

General
- -------
The  Company  operates  computer  training  centers  in the  United  States  and
franchises computer training centers in the United States and abroad.

Corporate revenues are defined as revenues from company-owned  training centers,
initial  franchise fees and royalties from  franchised  operations.  System-wide
revenues are comprised of total  revenues from all centers,  both  company-owned
and  franchised.  System-wide  revenues are used to gauge the growth rate of the
entire New Horizons training network.

Revenues from  company-owned  training  centers operated by New Horizons consist
primarily of training fees and fees derived from the sale of courseware. Cost of
revenues  consists  primarily  of  instructor  costs,  courseware  costs,  rent,
utilities,  classroom equipment, and computer hardware,  software and peripheral
expenses.  Included in selling,  general and  administrative  expenses are costs
associated  with technical  support  personnel,  facilities  support  personnel,
scheduling personnel, training personnel,  accounting and finance personnel, and
sales executives.

Revenues from franchising  consist  primarily of initial  franchise fees paid by
franchisees  for the purchase of specific  franchise  territories  and franchise
rights,  training  royalty and  advertising  fees based on a percentage of gross
training revenues realized by the franchisees,  percentage royalty fees received
on the sale of courseware,  and revenue earned from the Major Accounts  Program.
Cost of revenues  consists  primarily of costs associated with franchise support
personnel who provide  system  guidelines and advice on daily  operating  issues
including sales, marketing,  instructor training, and general business problems.
Included in selling,  general and administrative expenses are technical support,
courseware  development,  accounting and finance support, Major Accounts Program
support, advertising expenses, and franchise sales expenses.

Revenues
- --------
Revenues  increased  $10,090 or 56.7% to $27,900 for the second  quarter of 1999
and  increased  $17,507 or 53.9% for the first half of 1999 compared to the same
periods in 1998.  This was primarily due to improved  revenues at  company-owned
locations,  additional  revenues resulting from the acquisition of the Hartford,
Albuquerque,  Sacramento,  Stockton, Charlotte, and San Antonio franchises since
the second  quarter of 1998,  revenue  increases  at  franchises  open more than
twelve  months,  and  additional  franchises  added to the  system.  System-wide
revenues  for the second  quarter were  $109,894,  up 23.8% from $88,791 for the
same period in 1998. For the first half of 1999, system-wide revenues grew 26.7%
to  $212,346  from  $167,555  for the first half of 1998.  System-wide  revenues
include  revenues  from both  franchised  locations and  company-owned  training
centers.  Revenues from locations open more than 12 months,  both franchised and
company-owned,  grew 16.3% in the second  quarter of 1999 and 18.7% in the first
half of 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998.

Cost of Revenues
- ----------------
Cost of revenues  increased  $4,566 or 57.5% for the second  quarter of 1999 and
increased  $7,366  or 49.5%  for the  first  half of 1999  compared  to the same
periods in 1998.  As a  percentage  of revenues,  cost of revenues  increased to
44.8% in the second  quarter of 1999 from 44.6% and  decreased  to 44.5% for the
first half of 1999 from 45.8% compared to the same periods in 1998. The increase
in the cost of revenues in absolute  dollars was a result of the increase in the
revenues for the quarter and the first half of 1999 as discussed  above,  higher
training,  facilities  and  depreciation  expenses  in and  associated  with the
acquisition of the Sacramento,  Stockton,  Charlotte, and San Antonio franchises
in the  second  quarter  of 1999 and the  inclusion  of  Memphis  and  Nashville
franchises, acquired in April 1998, for the full period in 1999. The increase in
cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the second  quarter was a result
of the increase in company-owned  revenue as a percentage of total revenue.  The
franchising  segment  operates at a higher gross  margin than the  company-owned
segment.  The decrease for the first half of 1999 was  primarily due to improved
absorption of fixed costs over an increased revenue base.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased $3,869 or 50.9% for the
second quarter of 1999 and increased  $7,149 or 50.1% for the first half of 1999
compared to the same  periods in 1998.  As a percentage  of  revenues,  selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 41.1% for the second quarter of
1999 and to 42.8% for the first half of 1999 from 42.7% and 43.9%, respectively,
for  the  same  periods  in  1998.   The   increase  in  selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses in absolute  dollars was due  principally  to increased
spending  in the  areas  of  sales  and  marketing,  national  advertising,  the
expansion of the Major Accounts  Program and the  acquisition of the Sacramento,
Stockton,  Charlotte,  and San Antonio franchises in the second quarter of 1999,
and the inclusion of Memphis and Nashville  franchises,  acquired in April 1998,
for the full period in 1999. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percent of revenues was  primarily  due to the increase in revenue
and control of the addition of non-revenue producing employees.

Operating Income
- ----------------
Operating  income  increased to $1,655 or 73% for the second quarter of 1999 and
increased  $2,992  or 89.6%  for the  first  half of 1999  compared  to the same
periods in 1998. The increase in operating  income for the six months ended June
30, 1999  resulted  mainly from the  increase in revenues  and the  reduction in
expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Investment Income, Net
- ----------------------
Investment  income  decreased  $246 or 60.7% for the second  quarter of 1999 and
decreased  $338 or 46.1% for the first half of 1999 compared to the same periods
in 1998. As a percentage of revenues,  investment  income  decreased to 0.6% for
the second  quarter of 1999 and to 0.8% for the first half of 1999  compared  to
2.3% in both  periods of 1998.  The  decrease in  investment  income in absolute
dollars  was due  mainly  to the use of funds  to  purchase  the six  franchises
acquired since the first quarter of 1998 and the 8.3 acres of  undeveloped  land
in Santa Ana, California.

Interest  expense  decreased  $45 or 66.2% for the  second  quarter  of 1999 and
decreased  $100 or 61.7% for the first half of 1999 compared to the same periods
in 1998.  The  lower  interest  expense  was due  mainly  to  lower  outstanding
borrowings in the first six months of 1999 compared to the corresponding  period
in 1998.

Income Taxes
- ------------
The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 39% for the  second  quarter of 1999 and
38.6% for the first half of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of June 30, 1999, the Company's working capital was $9,976 and its cash, cash
equivalents and short-term  investments  totaled  $7,420.  Working capital as of
June 30,  1999  reflected  a decrease  of  $10,975  or 52.4% from  $20,951 as of
December 31, 1998.

                                       11
<PAGE>

The Company is  currently  negotiating  a $25  million  credit  facility  with a
commercial bank, $20 million of which is for future business acquisitions and $5
million of which is for short-term financing requirements.  This credit facility
will replace the one that expired in  June 1999 and is expected to  be finalized
by September 1999.

The nature of the computer education and training industry requires  substantial
cash commitments for the purchase of computer equipment,  software, and training
facilities.  During the first six months of 1999 the Company spent approximately
$3,884 on capital items and anticipates  spending up to a total of $7,500 during
1999.

Management  believes that its current working capital position,  cash flows from
operations,  along with its credit  facility,  will be  adequate  to support its
current and anticipated capital and operating expenditures and its strategies to
grow its computer education and training business.

Information About Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------------------------
The  statements  made  in  this  Quarterly  Report  on Form  10-Q  that  are not
historical  facts are forward looking  statements.  Such statements are based on
current expectations but involve risks,  uncertainties,  and other factors which
may cause actual results to differ  materially  from those  contemplated by such
forward  looking  statements.  Important  factors which may result in variations
from results contemplated by such forward looking statements include, but are by
no means  limited  to:  (1) the  Company's  ability to  respond  effectively  to
potential  changes  in the  manner  in which  computer  training  is  delivered,
including the  increasing  acceptance of  technology-based  training which could
have more favorable  economics with respect to timing and delivery costs and the
emergence of just-in-time  interactive  training;  (2) the Company's  ability to
attract and retain  qualified  instructors;  (3) the rate at which new  software
applications are introduced by manufacturers  and the Company's  ability to keep
up with new  applications  and  enhancements to existing  applications;  (4) the
level of  expenditures  devoted to  upgrading  information  systems and computer
software by customers; (5) the Company's ability to compete effectively with low
cost training providers who may not be authorized by software manufacturers; and
(6) the Company's ability to manage the growth of its business.

The  Company's  strategy  focuses on  enhancing  revenues and profits at current
locations,   and  also  includes  the  possible  opening  of  new  company-owned
locations,  the sale of  additional  franchises,  the selective  acquisition  of
existing  franchises in the United States which have demonstrated the ability to
achieve  exceptional  profitability  while  increasing  market  share,  and  the
acquisition of companies in similar or complementary  businesses.  The Company's
growth strategy is premised on a number of assumptions  concerning trends in the
information  technology  training  industry.  These include the  continuation of
growth in the market for  information  technology  training and the trend toward
outsourcing. To the extent that the Company's assumptions with respect to any of
these matters are inaccurate,  its results of operations and financial condition
could be adversely effected.

Year 2000
- ---------
The issues raised by the inability of computers,  software,  and other equipment
utilizing   microprocessors  to  recognize  and  properly  process  data  fields
containing a 2-digit year are commonly  referred to as Year 2000 ("Y2K") issues.
A  company-wide  Y2K  compliance  program has been  implemented to determine Y2K
issues and develop strategies to assure  compliance.  The compliance program has
four major areas of  concentration:  internal  information  technology  systems,
non-information   technology   systems,   systems  and  processes   utilized  by
franchisees,  and compliance  issues related to major  suppliers.  A Y2K project
team has been  established  and is directing  the activity  regarding the issues
confronted  in each area,  monitoring  progress  of the  effort,  and  reporting
findings to management.  As the Y2K  compliance  program  proceeds,  contingency
plans are being prepared,  updated,  and implemented as necessary to address the
risks identified.


                                       12
<PAGE>

With respect to internal information technology systems, among the most critical
systems to the  ongoing  operations  of both the  company-owned  and  franchised
training  centers are those systems which provide  customer  contact and student
registration  information.  The  systems  currently  used  by the  company-owned
centers  are not Y2K  compliant,  but the  Company has  prepared  the  necessary
upgrades.  The  cost of  developing  these  upgrades  has not  been,  and is not
expected to be, material.  Certain franchised  locations use the same systems as
the  company-owned  centers and have received  these  upgrades from the Company.
Other franchised  locations use contact  management and/or student  registration
software from various  vendors  which,  in many cases,  may require  updating to
become Y2K compliant.  Franchisees  have been and will continue to be advised to
bring their systems into compliance.  However,  simultaneous with these efforts,
the  Company  has  also  engaged  a  third  party  to  develop  a  comprehensive
replacement  information  management  system (NHMS) for use in all company-owned
and franchised  locations.  The Company  expects to commence  deployment of this
system, which is designed to be Y2K compliant, in the fourth quarter of 1999. In
addition to the foregoing,  the Company is reviewing its other computer hardware
and software systems and upgrading or replacing them as necessary.  With respect
to the Company's  accounting  system currently used to consolidate  results from
the company-owned  centers,  the Company has selected a new system.  The cost of
the new system is expected to be less than $500.  Installation was completed for
the locations that did not have Y2K compliant  accounting  systems in the second
quarter of 1999.  The new system will be installed in the  remaining  centers by
November 1999.

Regarding  non-information  technology systems, the project team has inventoried
the  items  potentially  affected  by Y2K  issues,  and is  currently  assessing
compliance  of those  systems  considered  to have the  potential for a material
impact.  Those items which appear to have the  potential for such an effect that
are determined not to be in compliance  will be upgraded or replaced  before the
end of 1999. Those costs are not expected to be material.

                             (Dollars in thousands)


The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest  rates.  It
monitors the risks  associated  with  interest  rates and  financial  instrument
positions.

The  Company  accounts  for  investments  pursuant  to  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.115,  "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity  Securities."  At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,  the Company's
investments have been categorized as "available for sale" and, as a result,  are
stated at fair value.  Accordingly,  any unrealized holding gains and losses are
included as a component of accumulated other  comprehensive  income, net of tax,
until realized.  Investments at June 30, 1999, consist of $302 in municipal bond
funds. The bond funds were liquidated July 1, 1999.

There were net unrealized  gains of $30 and $53 recorded as of June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, respectively.

The Company's revenue derived from international operations is not material and,
therefore, the risk related to foreign currency exchange rates is not material.
