Note 5    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
          Nova  Vista  and the Corporate Education  Solutions program.  The two
          segments are identified on the basis of the source of revenues and the
          services offered.  Informationon the Company's segments is as follows:

Note 6    The  Company  computes  earnings  per  share  based on  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.

          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.

Note 7    On  December 3, 1999, the Securities and  Exchange  Commission  issued
          Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  #101,  Revenue  Recognition  in Financial
          Statements (SAB 101). SAB 101 summarizes the staff's views in applying
          generally  accepted  accounting  principles to revenue  recognition in
          financial  statements.  SAB 101 is effective for the fourth quarter of
          fiscal year 2001. The Company believes that the  implementation of SAB
          101 will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

          In March  2000,  the  FASB  issued  Interpretation  No.  44 (FIN  44),
          "Accounting for Certain  Transactions  involving Stock  Compensation."
          FIN 44 is an  interpretation  of Accounting  Principal Board's Opinion
          No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees"  (APB 25).  Among
          other  matters,  FIN 44 clarifies the  application of APB 25 regarding
          the  definition  of employee  for  purposes  of  applying  APB 25, the
          criteria for determining  whether a plan qualifies as  noncompensatory
          and the  accounting  consequences  of  modification  to the  terms  of
          previously issued stock options or similar awards. The Company adopted
          the provisions of FIN 44 in the third quarter of 2000. The adoption of
          FIN 44 did not  have a  material  impact  on the  Company's  financial
          condition or results of operations.

                  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
and franchising 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
material.  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  personnel  costs   associated   with  technical  and  facilities   support,
scheduling, training, accounting and finance, and sales.

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,  revenue  earned  from  the  sale  of  third-party
courseware  to the  franchisees  through  Nova Vista,  its  product  procurement
company,  and revenue earned from Corporate  Education  Solutions,  a program to
service large corporate customers.  Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs
associated  with  courseware  development  and 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,  accounting
and  finance  support,   Corporate  Education  Solutions  support,   advertising
expenses, and franchise sales expenses.

Revenues
--------
Revenues  increased $5,389 or 17.6% to $35,970 for the third quarter of 2000 and
increased  $26,061 or 32.3% for the first nine  months of 2000  compared  to the
same  periods  in  1999.  This  was  primarily  due  to  improved   revenues  at
company-owned  locations,  additional revenues resulting from the acquisition of
the Denver  franchise in September  1999,  revenue  increases at franchises open
more for than twelve  months,  and  additional  franchises  added to the system.
System-wide revenues for the third quarter were $135,768, up 19.8% from $113,310
for the same  period in 1999.  For the first  nine  months of 2000,  system-wide
revenues grew 21.4% to $395,282 from $325,656 for the first nine months of 1999.
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 13.0% in the third quarter of
2000 and 16.3% in the first nine months of 2000  compared to the same periods in
1999. .

Cost of Revenues
----------------
Cost of  revenues  increased  $3,213 or 24.4% for the third  quarter of 2000 and
increased  $13,389 or 37.8% for the first nine  months of 2000  compared  to the
same periods in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased to
45.6% in the third  quarter  of 2000 from 43.1% and  increased  to 45.8% for the
first nine months of 2000 from 44.0%  compared to the same periods in 1999.  The
increase  in the cost of  revenues  in  absolute  dollars  was a  result  of the
increase in revenues for the third  quarter and the first nine months of 2000 as
discussed above and higher training, facilities and depreciation expenses in and
associated with the  acquisition of the Denver  franchise in September 1999. The
increase in cost of revenues as a  percentage  of revenues in the third  quarter
was due  primarily to expenses  remaining at a similar  level  compared to prior
quarters  in which  revenue was  higher.  The  increase in cost of revenues as a
percentage  of  revenues  in the first  nine  months of 2000 was a result of the
increase in company-owned  center revenue as a percentage of total revenue.  The
franchising  segment  operates at a higher gross  margin than the  company-owned
segment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------
Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased $2,355 or 18.6% for the
third quarter of 2000 and increased $9,372 or 27.5% for the first nine months of
2000 compared to the same periods in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses increased to 41.8% for the third quarter and
decreased  to 40.8% for the first  nine  months  of 2000 from  41.5% and  42.3%,
respectively, for the same periods in 1999. The increase in selling, general and
administrative  expenses in absolute  dollars was due  principally  to increased
spending in the areas of sales and  marketing,  and the  inclusion of the Denver
franchise  for the full periods in 2000.  The  increase in selling,  general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter was the
result of expenses  remaining at a similar level  compared to prior  quarters in
which revenue was higher.  The decrease in selling,  general and  administrative
expenses  as a  percentage  of  revenues  for the first nine  months of 2000 was
primarily  due to the  increase  in  revenue  and  control  of the  addition  of
non-revenue producing employees.

Investment Income, Net
----------------------
Investment  income  decreased  $43 or 28.9%  for the third  quarter  of 2000 and
decreased  $204 or 37.5% for the first nine months of 2000  compared to the same
periods in 1999. As a percentage  of revenues,  investment  income  decreased to
0.3% for the third  quarter and the first nine  months of 2000  compared to 0.5%
and 0.7% for the same periods in 1999, respectively.  The decrease in investment
income in  absolute  dollars  was due  mainly  to  payments  made to reduce  the
outstanding borrowings against the line of credit.

Interest  expense  decreased  $37 or 41.6%  for the  third  quarter  of 2000 and
increased  $158 or 105% for the first nine  months of 2000  compared to the same
periods in 1999. The higher  interest  expense for the first nine months of 2000
was due mainly to higher  outstanding  borrowings  compared to the corresponding
period in 1999.

Income Taxes
------------
The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 40% for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
As of September 30, 2000, the Company's  working capital was $3,148 and its cash
and cash  equivalents  totaled $4,123.  Working capital as of September 30, 2000
reflected a decrease of $2,862 or 47.6% from $6,010 as of December 31, 1999.

The Company currently  maintains 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, at an interest rate equal to the
bank's prime rate,  9.5% at September 30, 2000,  less 0.5%.  No  borrowings  are
currently  outstanding under this credit facility. As of September 30, 2000, the
Company  had $20  million  and $5  million  available  for  borrowing  under the
acquisition  and  short-term   financing   portions  of  the  credit   facility,
respectively.

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 nine months of 2000 the Company spent approximately
$4,320 on capital  items.  Capital  expenditures  for 2000 are expected to total
approximately $6,000.

                                       11
<PAGE>

In 2001 the Company  expects to implement two major  initiatives:  an integrated
software  package  to be known  as the  Center  Management  System,  which  will
integrate  many of the  functions  used to  operate a training  center,  such as
course scheduling and registration;  and e-Learning and e-Commerce capabilities,
which will provide  instruction and other  e-Commerce  offerings to New Horizons
customers  over the Internet.  The capital  expenditures  for these projects are
currently  estimated  at $5,500 and may  be  partially  funded by the  Company's
franchisees.

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.  All statements that address operating performance,
events or  developments  that management  anticipates  will occur in the future,
including statements relating to future revenue,  profits,  expenses, income and
earnings  per share or  statements  expressing  general  optimism  about  future
results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). In addition, words such as
"expects,"   "anticipates,"   "intends,"   "plans,"   "believes,"   "estimates,"
variations  of such words,  and  similar  expressions  are  intended to identify
forward-looking  statements.  Forward-looking  statements  are  subject  to safe
harbors created in the Exchange Act.

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;  (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 above  average  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.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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's  primary  interest  rate risk exposure  results from floating rate
debt on its line of credit.  At September 30, 2000, the Company did not have any
outstanding floating rate debt.

The  Company's  revenue  derived from  international  operations  is paid by its
franchisees in United States dollars. Accordingly, the foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuation is not material.
