     under the agreement.

                      SIBONEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's  continuing  operations for the periods  presented  consist of the
following two segments:

1)   The Company is engaged,  through its Siboney  Learning  Group  Division and
     Gamco  Industries,  Inc.  ("Gamco"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  in  the
     publishing and distribution of educational software. The Company has served
     the educational  market for more than 35 years. The Company's main business
     is  publishing  proprietary  educational  software  in  math,  reading  and
     language  arts for  students and  teachers in grades  kindergarten  through
     grade 12. This software  motivates  students to master key skills which are
     stressed  on  standardized   tests  and  in  textbooks.   Siboney  Learning
     Group/Gamco sells through a network of independent  distributors throughout
     the United  States as well as through  its own  catalogs  and sales  force.
     Popular Gamco  software  titles  include Money  Challenge,  Discover  Time,
     Undersea  Reading  for  Meaning  and the  Touchdown  Math  series.  Siboney
     Learning Group/Gamco publishes over 100 titles for Windows,  Macintosh, DOS
     and Apple II operating systems.

2)   The holding of interests in certain natural resources,  including coal, oil
     and gas, through several subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

In 1997,  Siboney  Learning Group expanded its distribution and product offering
by launching Orchard:  Teacher's Choice Software through a network of 25 dealers
to  complement  its  traditional  distribution  strategy  of single  title sales
through  dealer  catalogs  and  its own  catalogs.  Orchard  is a  comprehensive
instructional  software  solution for students who are  struggling to master key
skills.  It  provides  schools  with a universal  management  system that tracks
student   progress  across  all  of  the  Company's  titles  and  a  variety  of
instructional  approaches  that motivate  students to learn.  Orchard allows the
Company to compete in the market for  integrated  learning  systems  which offer
larger and more expensive  curriculum-based software packages to schools needing
to remediate their students.

In late 1997, the Company relocated five of its six person inside sales force to
St. Louis and hired a new manager. The inside sales group focuses on selling the
Company's  proprietary  software to more than 10,000 school customers and 30,000
additional school prospects.

During 1997, Siboney Learning  Group/Gamco  accelerated its conversion of titles
to the Windows,  Macintosh and CD-ROM  platforms,  which are now the predominant
systems  used in schools.  The Company  released its first titles for Windows in
June 1997 and launched its first  CD-ROM  title in  September.  During the first
four months of 1998,  the Company has  converted an  additional  21 products for
Windows, 1 title for Macintosh and produced 26 new CD-ROM titles.

Also in 1997, the Company  entered into a licensing  agreement with  Intentional
Educations to publish 12 early reading  educational  software titles in a hybrid
multimedia CD-ROM format and commenced the sale of such products. The Company is
continuing its efforts to obtain additional licensing agreements in 1998.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


As a result, the Company's total educational  software product offerings and the
breadth of its educational  coverage expanded  significantly during 1997 and has
continued to do so in 1998. Siboney Learning Group will use Gamco's  established
distribution  channels, as well as new distribution  programs, to sell these new
and improved software programs.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following is  management's  discussion  and analysis of certain  significant
factors  which have  affected the  Company's  financial  position and  operating
results during the periods covered by the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated
financial statements.

              THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 vs. MARCH 31, 1997

Revenues  decreased  slightly  during the three month period ended March 31,1998
compared  to the same  period in 1997.  Sales at  Siboney  Learning  Group/Gamco
increased  for the three month period but such increase was offset by a decrease
in coal lease  royalties  earned by Siboney Coal Company for the first  quarter.
Revenues  from its coal lease are  dependent on third party  mining  operations,
which are temporarily suspended from time to time.

Cost of product  sales  decreased  during the quarter  compared to the  previous
year's  quarter.   Siboney  Learning   Group/Gamco  is  selling  more  expensive
high-margin  licenses  versus  single  title  products.  The Company  expects to
continue  selling more high margin  versions of its software.  In addition,  the
Company has stopped selling low-margin  non-proprietary  products.  As a result,
cost of product sales as a percentage  of revenue was reduced to 15.4%  compared
to 18.9% in the prior year.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  during the  quarter
compared to the same period in 1997  primarily due to lower catalog  advertising
expenses and lower costs associated with outsourcing product conversion.

The  Company's  loss for the first  quarter of 1998,  primarily  for the reasons
above,  was $84,802.  For the first quarter of 1997, the Company reported a loss
of $154,564.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased at March 31, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997 due to the impact
of expenses  exceeding  income and due to higher levels of accounts  receivable,
prepaid expenses and inventories.

The increase in accounts  receivable at the end of the first quarter of 1998 was
due to larger sales volume at Siboney Learning  Group/Gamco  during February and
March 1998 compared with November and December 1997,  which was consistent  with
Siboney  Learning  Group/Gamco's  experience in the previous  year. In addition,
Siboney Coal had a receivable for the annual minimum royalty payment,  which was
received  after the close of the first quarter of fiscal 1998,  consistent  with
the terms of the coal lease.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Prepaid  expenses  increased  at March 31,  1998,  primarily  due to the cost of
catalog mailings during February 1998.

Notes  payable  increased  at March 31, 1998  compared to December 31, 1997 as a
result of the Company drawing down on its line-of-credit.

Accounts  payable  increased at March 31,  1998,  primarily  due to  outstanding
invoices  for the printing and mailing of the  Company's  Annual  Report and the
printing of catalogs.

Long-term  debt increased at March 31, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997 due to
a lease incurred for new computer  equipment,  accounting software and telephone
system.

The Company's  available  cash and cash  equivalents  decreased from $432,688 at
March 31, 1997 to  $149,648  at March 31,  1998.  Cash and cash  equivalents  at
December 31, 1997 were $289,752.

The net worth of the Company at March 31, 1998 was $662,325.  The Company failed
to meet the minimum net worth  covenant in its credit  agreement  of $750,000 at
March 31, 1998. The Company has obtained a waiver of such breech and a reduction
of the minimum net worth covenant to $600,000 through July 1, 1998.

                                 YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits,  rather than four,  to define the  applicable  year.  As a result,  when
moving from the year 1999 to 2000, without adjustment, such programs will assume
the year  1900  rather  than  2000,  with  various  potential  adverse  effects.
Consequently,  most computer  programs must be adjusted to assure that they will
go forward and not backward.

Since 1996,  the Company has been in the process of converting  its  educational
products from old software programs to new programs or designing and introducing
new programs.  In doing so, it has taken the Year 2000 Issue into consideration.
Therefore,  the  Company  does not  believe  that the Year 2000  Issue will pose
significant problems for the Company's products.

With respect to the Company's  operating and accounting  computer  systems,  the
Company is  presently  converting  its  systems to new  software  systems.  As a
result,  the Company  also does not  believe  that the Year 2000 Issue will pose
significant operating or accounting problems for the Company.
