NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The consolidated financial statements of Educational Insights, Inc. (the
"Company") include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim consolidated financial statements are not audited, but include
all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair representation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the period.
The consolidated financial statements as presented herein should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The Company's fiscal year ends December 31. The results of operations for
the period ended June 30, 1998, are not indicative of the results that might
be expected for the full fiscal year.
2. INVENTORY
Inventory consists principally of finished goods held for sale and are stated
at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997.
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income by their nature in the financial statements. In addition, the
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income must be displayed
separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the
equity section of the statement of financial position. Reclassification of
financial statements for earlier periods, provided for comparative purposes,
is required.

PART I. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, included
in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
The Company's business is highly seasonal. Typically, sales and
operating income are highest during the third and fourth quarters and lowest
during the first and second quarters. This seasonal pattern is primarily due
to the increased demand for the Company's products during the
"back-to-school" and year end holiday selling seasons.
SALES.
Sales increased by 4.7% or $402,000 to $8,875,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 1998, from $8,473,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Sales
increased in the mass market and private label sectors of the Company's
business. This increase was partially offset by sales decreases in the
independent toy and school supply businesses.
Sales remained essentially unchanged at $14,797,000 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $14,820,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997.
GROSS PROFIT.
Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales decreased 2.6% to 48.7% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to 51.3% for the same period in
1997.
Gross profit margin decreased to 49.3% for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 from 51.5% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997. The
decrease on both a quarterly and year-to-date basis resulted primarily from a
continuing increase in the proportion of ExploraToy and private label sales
which are at margins lower than those experienced in the Company's core
markets and, for the six month period, the result of one-time adjustments
reported at the end of the first quarter.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSE.
Sales and marketing expense increased 9.1% or $151,000 to $1,819,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $1,668,000 for the same period in 1997.
The increase was primarily due to increased sales commissions and advertising
expense in the Company's mass market business. Sales commissions increased
as sales volume increased while advertising expense increases were incurred
both in support of the current quarter's sales and sales expected during the
third and fourth quarters.
Sales and marketing expense remained essentially unchanged at $3,257,000
or 22.0% of sales during the first half of 1998 from $3,191,000 or 21.5% of
sales during the corresponding period in 1997. Because of the seasonal
nature of its business, the Company expects sales and marketing costs
expressed as a percentage of sales to decrease during the third and fourth
quarters of 1998.
WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE.
Warehousing and distribution expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1998
decreased 14.0% or $130,000 to $798,000 compared to $928,000 for the same
period of 1997.
Warehousing and distribution expense decreased 10.2% or $187,000 to
$1,649,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$1,836,000 or 12.4% of sales for the corresponding period of 1997. The
decreases in warehousing costs for both the quarterly and six month periods
were due in part to increased efficiency resulting from the Company's
implementation of more modern, automated warehousing management systems.

<PAGE>
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE.
General and administrative expense for both the quarter ended June 30,
1998 and the six month period ended June 30, 1998 remained essentially
unchanged compared to the same periods in 1997.
Quarterly general and administrative expense was $941,000 in 1998
compared to $926,000 in 1997 while general administrative expense for the six
month period ended June 30, 1998 was $1,845,000 compared to $1,868,000 for
the same period in 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased 43.1% or $22,000 to $73,000 for the second
quarter and increased 25.3% or $22,000 to $109,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1998. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to an
increase in borrowings under the Company's line of credit facility which was
used to finance increases in inventory associated with the expected growth of
the sales of products in the Company's mass market division.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Net Other Income/(Expense) increased to an expense of $19,000 for
quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to income of $112,000 for the same
period in 1997. The primary reason for the change was foreign exchange
losses incurred in connection with the Company's business in the UK and
Canada compared to foreign exchange gains in these areas during 1997.
Other income decreased 57.6% or $83,000 to $61,000 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $144,000 for the same period in 1997.
The majority of the change occurred in the second quarter for the reason
explained above.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
In recent years, the Company's working capital needs have been met
through funds generated from operations and from the Company's revolving line
of credit. The Company's principal need for working capital has been to meet
peak inventory and accounts receivable requirements associated with its
seasonal sales patterns. The Company increases inventory levels during the
spring and summer months in anticipation of increasing shipments in the
summer and fall. Accounts receivable have historically increased during the
summer and fall because of the Company's use of "dating" programs wherein
sales are made to the Company's customers for which payment is deferred for
one to three months based on the size of the sales orders. Due to said sales
patterns, the largest customer orders are shipped during the summer and fall,
hence increasing accounts receivable balances during the third and fourth
quarters.
During the period ended June 30, 1998, the Company's sources of funds
were primarily from the collection of outstanding accounts receivable and the
net increase in borrowings under the Company's line of credit.
The principal uses of cash during the period ended June 30, 1998 were
the funding of operating losses net of depreciation of $531,000, an increase
in inventory of $3,628,000, and an increase in taxes receivable of $690,000.
The increase in other assets of $587,000 was not a use of cash as it was
primarily the result of the Company bartering certain inventory (principally
excess ExploraToy products) for credit towards the future purchase of various
goods and services. The dollar value recorded in other assets relating to
this transaction of approximately, $500,000 is the net realizable value of
said inventory. This barter arrangement entitles the Company to acquire up
to approximately $1,200,000 of goods and services, however, there can be no
assurance that the Company will utilize all of said credits.
The Company currently has a revolving line of credit with a bank which
is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Under the
revolving line of credit agreement, which expires September 4, 1998, the
Company may borrow up to $8 million. The agreement requires the maintenance
of certain financial ratios, minimum annual net income amounts and tangible
net worth amounts, and provides for various restrictions including
limitations on capital expenditures and additional indebtedness. At June 30,
1998, the Company had $3,500,000 outstanding against this line of credit.
The Company believes that borrowings available under the revolving line
of credit, if and when renewed, and anticipated funds from operations will
satisfy the Company's projected working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next 12 months.
