     presentation  have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine
     month  periods ended March 31, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the

3.   PREFERRED  STOCK On April 11,  1996,  the Company  completed a Regulation S
     private  placement of $4,150,000 of Series A convertible  preferred  stock.
     The Company  has  designated  600 of the  3,000,000  previously  authorized
     preferred stock shares as Series A preferred stock, par value $.01 with the
     following rights and preferences. One-third of the Series A preferred stock
     is convertible  beginning 45 days subsequent to April 11, 1996,  two-thirds
     of the  Series A  preferred  stock is  convertible  after 75 days,  and all
     remaining  Series A  preferred  stock is  convertible  after  105 days into
     shares of common stock of the Company based upon a conversion formula which
     among  other  things  includes  an 8% return  for all  outstanding  days as
     preferred  stock and at a  conversion  price of the lesser of  $4.1625  per
     common share or 85% of the average closing price for the five days prior to
     the date of conversion.  Each share of Series A preferred stock outstanding
     on March 22, 1999  automatically  converts into common stock of the Company
     at the above  conversion  formula.  The Company has the right to redeem for
     cash any Series A preferred  stock  presented  for  conversion at the above
     conversion  formula amounts or at a stated value including a premium amount
     for the three years  subsequent  to April 11, 1996.  The Series A preferred
     stock is also subject to certain  liquidation and dilution  preferences and
     has no voting rights.

4.   OTHER  STOCKHOLDER  EQUITY  On March  31,  1996 the  Company  terminated  a
     contract for certain consulting services.  As a result,  rights to warrants
     were also canceled resulting in a reversal of a non-cash charge of $306,000
     previously  recorded by the Company for these warrants  issued at less than
     the then market value of the underlying common stock.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales (gross sales less returns and allowances) for the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1996 increased to $460,990 and $1,051,100, respectively,
from $165,930 and $444,834, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
1995, an increase of approximately 178% and 136%, respectively.  The increase in
sales is  attributable  to the  resumption  of  advertising  during  August 1995
through March 1996 which  management  believes  continues to result in increased
sales of The  Coach(TM) as sales have  increased  each  quarter  during the nine
months ended March 31, 1996.  During the nine month period ended March 31, 1995,
the Company  allocated  its limited  financial  resources  to the  redesign  and
development of new models of The Coach(TM) rather than to marketing resulting in
lower  sales  during  that  period,  but having an  improved  product  ready for
distribution  during fiscal 1996. In addition to the revenue  growth in sales of
The Coach(TM), sales also continue to be positively impacted by the introduction
of  other  products  in The  Leadbetter  Collection,  including  an  interactive
software teaching and analysis product,  the Computer  Coach(TM).  This product,
which was  introduced  during the third  quarter of fiscal  1995  accounted  for
approximately  26% and 23% of net sales during the three and nine month  periods
ended  March 31, 1996  compared to no sales in the three and nine month  periods
ended March 31, 1995,  reflecting  an  increased  acceptance  of computer  aided
teaching  tools in the  marketplace.  Sales of other golf aids also  continue to
positively impact the growth in total revenues accounting for 25% and 23% of net
sales for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996. Such sales were
not significant in the comparable  periods of the prior year. The mix and growth
in sales  continues to reflect the Company's  strategy of increasing the variety
of  products  in the The  Leadbetter  Collection  and the  expansion  into other
product lines.

The Company's  concentration  on increasing  sales in the domestic  market while
also increasing  overall sales during the nine month period ended March 31, 1996
continues to temporarily decrease  international sales,  consisting primarily of
The Coach(TM). International sales remained constant at approximately 15% of the
total net sales for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared  with
the nine month  period  ended  March 31,  1995.  The Company  believes  that its
current  strategy of a lower current price point as compared to previous periods
for The Coach Model 300SX(TM),  increased and continued activity in interviewing
and developing  potential qualified  distributors in key foreign markets and the
additional  marketing  efforts  will  result in long term  dollar  increases  in
international  sales,  however the  continued  increases  in domestic  sales may
continue to reduce the overall percentage of international sales.

The Company's strategy and operating plans continue to be executed as originally
announced.  The final introduction of products in The Leadbetter Collection,  as
introduced at the annual PGA Show in January 1996,  complete the initial product
line in the  area  of  swing  improvement  for  golfers.  The  Company  recently
announced  the  addition  of  an  independent  sales  force  which  the  Company
anticipates will add sales growth in the retail golf products  market.  Prior to
February  1996,  sales were generally as a result of direct  response  marketing
activities  for the United  States  market  and  overseas  distributors.  During
February  1996,  the Company also  announced an alliance  with a leading  sports
psychologist.  The Company will be  developing  an entire line of products on an
exclusive  basis,  targeted to  .performance  enhancement  for business  people,
initially, and expanded to golf and all other sports, ultimately.

The Company also recently  announced its investment in a majority owned business
venture  that owns  certain  technology  rights  for 3D  movement  analysis  and
computer  animation in the sports training  industry.  The Company believes that
such technology  provides the most accurate full body golf swing  evaluation and
makes the results  easier to  understand  through  real-time 3D virtual  reality
computer  animation  of body  and  club  motions  and  instant  feedback  of all
biomechanical performance data.

Cost of sales as a percentage  of net sales was  approximately  73% in the three
and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to  approximately  70%
and 71% in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995.  These changes
reflect the impact of the increased sales of the Computer Coach(TM), which has a
lower gross margin somewhat offset by other new higher margin products.

Selling and  marketing  expenses  increased  approximately  201% and 111% in the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively,  as compared to
the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995. The increased selling and
marketing  expenses  reflect the resumption of certain  advertising and payments
and costs  associated  with the Company's  royalty,  commission and  endorsement
agreements as well as costs associated with increased sales.

General and  administrative,  depreciation  and  amortization  and  research and
development expenses increased  approximately 26% and 41% for the three and nine
month  periods  ended March 31, 1996 over  comparable  amounts for the three and
nine month  periods  ended March 31, 1995.  The increase  reflects the Company's
increase in operations, including salaries and related personnel costs following
the  completion  of its initial  public  offering in March 1995,  as well as, an
increase  in  associated  costs  such as legal  and  consulting,  and  increased
amortization of intangibles following the Company's reorganization, as discussed
below. Additionally, included in the costs incurred during the nine month period
ended March 31, 1996 was a one-time non-cash consulting fee of $612,000 incurred
as a result of the issuance of certain  warrants to a consultant to the Company.
Warrants for the  purchase of 200,000  shares of common stock were issued to the
consultant at less than the then current  market price of the  Company's  common
stock in addition to cash payments for consulting  services currently  rendered.
This  contract  was  terminated  March 31, 1996 and all  amounts  related to the
unissued shares at that time were reversed resulting in a one-time non-cash gain
of $306,000 recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 1996.

The Company's  operating expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995
includes a non-cash  non-recurring charge consisting of a reorganization premium
of $589,099  reflecting the difference in fair value of the shares  exchanged in
the  recapitalization  of the Company by the certain  former  holders of Class B
common  stock,  relating  to the  benefit  to such  holders  resulting  from the
elimination  of the Class A common stock  liquidation  preference  in connection
with a recapitalization.

The Company's other income  (expense) of $(172,824) and $(291,513) for the three
and six month periods ended  December 31, 1994 included  approximately  $175,000
and  $295,000,  respectively,  of  interest  and  amortization  relating  to the
debentures  outstanding  prior  to the  repayment  of the  debentures  upon  the
completion of the initial public offering.

The Company had a net loss of $138,879 ($.06 per share) and $1,761,193 ($.77 per
share) for the three and nine month  periods  ended March 31, 1996 compared to a
net loss of $698,544 ($.45 per share) and  $2,237,428  ($1.43 per share) for the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995. The net loss and net loss per
share amounts primarily reflect the increase in sales, the non-recurring noncash
reorganization  premium and consulting  fees, the interest  associated  with the
debentures,   and  the   increased   selling  and   marketing  and  general  and
administrative  expenses  discussed above as the Company  increased its level of
operations  and  increased   selling  and  marketing  efforts  on  new  products
introduced since March 31, 1995.


Liquidity and Sources of Capital

At March 31,  1996,  the  Company  had working  capital of  $730,925,  including
$524,378 of cash and cash  equivalents.  The Company believes that the remaining
net proceeds of the initial public offering and the recently  announced  private
placement  together  with funds  expected to be  generated  from  operations  in
response to the Company's  current  efforts to expand its product line and sales
will be sufficient to meet its normal operating requirements over the near term.
However,   the  Company's   strategy  of  growth  into  the  retail  market  and
international sales and the continued  introduction of new products will require
additional  funds to implement.  The Company has no commitments and no assurance
additional  funds will be available or if so, will be  sufficient to continue to
implement such strategy.

The Company had a negative cash flow from  operations of $1,285,187 for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996 and a negative  cash flow from  operations  of
$463,711 for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995.  The negative cash flow
from operations reflects the increased expenses discussed above.
