                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


  NOTE I. - GENERAL

  The financial information herein is unaudited. However, in the opinion of
  management, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of
  normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
  operation for the period being reported. Additionally, it should be noted that
  the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to
  contain complete disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting
  principles.

  The results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 1999, are not
  necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
  conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year
  ended April 30, 1998, and the notes thereto.

  The Company has reclassified certain 1998 fiscal year amounts to conform to
  current year presentation.

  In October 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
  Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
  and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes a definition for
  derivative instruments and requires that all such items be recognized as
  assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value.
  Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized as a
  component of either income or comprehensive income, depending on the
  designated purpose of the derivative. SFAS 133 will be adopted by Wave during
  the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning on May 1, 2000 and, based on
  current circumstances, management does not believe the effect of adoption will
  be material.

  NOTE II. - DEBT

  The Company's operating bank line of credit was renewed on September 1, 1998.
  In January of 1999, the line was increased from $2,500,000 to $3,500,000. It
  bears interest at the bank's prime rate and is secured by the Company's
  accounts receivables, inventory and equipment. The Chairman of the Board of
  the bank is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

  NOTE III. - EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
  average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
  earnings per share are computed similar to basic except the denominator is
  increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have
  been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued.
<PAGE>
 
  NOTE IV.  REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

  Effective May 1, 1998, Wave adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130
  establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and
  its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income includes all non-
  shareowner changes in equity and for Wave consists of net income and foreign
  currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income for the three and
  nine months ended January 31, 1998 and 1999 was:

  NOTE V.  DISCLOSURE ABOUT SEGMENTS

  Effective May 1, 1998, Wave adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
  Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for defining
  operating segments and reporting information about operating segments in
  financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosure
  about products, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 is not required
  to be applied to interim financial statements in the year of adoption, but
  will be applied to Wave's annual financial statements for the fiscal year
  ending April 30, 1999.

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

                                   Overview

     The Company designs, develops and delivers technical training programs
  addressing the Internet, data communications, networking and client/server
  computing technologies. Wave delivers these products and services through
  instructor-led courses, informational seminars, published products and the
  Internet. The Company markets its courses and published products to management
  information professionals, systems integrators, value-added resellers and
  others with systems management responsibilities.

     The Company delivers its instructor-led training through eleven Company-
  owned facilities in the United States and two centers in the United Kingdom.
  The Company increasingly sells training solutions utilizing a mix of multi-
  media published materials and live training. Wave has developed both domestic
  and international distribution channels for its products.
<PAGE>
 
                Three Months Ended January 31, 1999 Compared To
                      Three Months Ended January 31, 1998

     Total revenues decreased $321,000, or 3%, in the quarter ended January 31,
  1999, to $9,227,000 from $9,548,000 in the same quarter in fiscal 1998. Total
  domestic revenues declined $1,711,000, or 23%, while international revenues
  increased $1,390,000, or 63%. The domestic decrease related primarily to the
  discontinuation of the GTE University program, and to a lesser extent, to
  weather-related issues that reduced the number of training days in the
  quarter. International revenues accounted for approximately 39% of Wave's
  total revenues in the quarter ended January 31, 1999, compared to 23% in the
  same quarter in fiscal 1998.

     Publishing revenues increased by $445,000, or 9%, from $4,702,000 to
  $5,147,000 and increased as a percentage of total revenues to 56% from 49% in
  the same quarter in fiscal 1998. Domestic publishing revenues actually
  decreased, by $544,000 largely as the result of the continued influx of low-
  cost competitive products in the Microsoft NT area, offered through bookstores
  and the Internet. The Company added several licensing agreements and
  distributorships during the quarter, extending the channels for its products.
  These included new distributors in Canada and the United Kingdom for eCamp
  Wave (the Company's new Internet instructional program) and other products.
  Wave anticipates significant revenues from orders placed under these
  agreements in future periods. The amount of these contracted orders have not
  been reflected in Wave's revenues or deferred revenues. The net decline in
  domestic publishing revenues was offset by a $989,000 increase in
  international publishing revenues, primarily from sales of Wave's "boot camps"
  and Year 2000 programs.

     ILT revenues increased to $3,987,000 from $2,442,000 in the same quarter in
  fiscal 1998, and increased as a percentage of total revenues to 43% from 26%.
  Domestic ILT revenues increased $1,145,000, or 72%, primarily as the result of
  the Camp Wave boot camp programs. In the quarter ended January 31, 1999,
  approximately $300,000 of domestic training was rescheduled into subsequent
  quarters. The Company believes much of this was due to weather-related factors
  connected with the major snow storms that hit the country in January.
  International ILT revenues increased $400,000, or 47%, also largely from sales
  of Wave's "boot camps" and Year 2000 programs

     Custom solutions revenues decreased dramatically, by $2,312,000 or 96% from
  the same period in fiscal 1998, and represented 1% of total revenues, compared
  to 25% in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. In early summer of 1998, the
  Company determined not to continue its participation in the GTE University
  program. While this program made a significant contribution to Wave's custom
  solutions revenues, GTE University was not consistent with the Company's
  overall business plan. Wave determined that the resources to support the GTE
  program, as well as certain other custom solutions services, including the
  Technical Solutions Workshops program and WaveSource, could be more
  effectively deployed in other areas.

     Cost of services, products and development decreased $254,000, or 5%, in
  the quarter ended January 31, 1999, to $5,086,000, and decreased as a
  percentage of total revenues to 55% from 56% in the same quarter in fiscal
  1998. Cost of services, products and development for the quarter were impacted
  primarily by a $968,000 decrease in direct
<PAGE>
 
  out-of-pocket costs related to delivery of custom solutions programs.
  International costs of goods increased $226,000, or 23%, including a $115,000
  increase in royalty fees for reselling a third-party product and a $94,000
  increase in payroll-related costs, to support increased sales. Decreases in
  domestic salaries and related payroll costs were offset by a $239,000 increase
  in temporary labor costs, for contract trainers used during the quarter,
  particularly in November of 1998. Expenses in other areas also increased, but
  were more than offset by the decreases discussed above.

     Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 1999,
  increased by $636,000, or 28%, to $2,887,000, from the same quarter in fiscal
  1998, and increased as a percentage of total revenues, to 31% from 24%. Direct
  mail expenses increased $388,000 in connection with Wave's refocussed efforts
  on direct mail advertising. Printing and advertising expenses also increased
  by $295,000 or 155%, primarily for a trade show and increases in expenses
  related to international sales. These increases were partially offset by a
  decrease in total payroll expense of $75,000, or 5%, compared to the same
  quarter in fiscal 1998.

     General and administrative expenses decreased $205,000, or 12%, to
  $1,447,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, and decreased slightly as a
  percentage of total revenues, to 16%, compared to 17% in the same quarter in
  fiscal 1998. Individual expense items fluctuated slightly compared to the same
  quarter last year, with the largest decreases in depreciation, of $82,000, and
  payroll related expenses, of $76,000.

     Wave's operating loss in the quarter ended January 31, 1999, was $193,000,
  compared to income from operators in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 of
  $306,000.

     The Company recognized a net loss of $137,000, or $0.03 per share, for the
  third quarter of fiscal 1999, compared to net income of $200,000, or $0.05 per
  share, for the quarter ended January 31, 1998. Fiscal 1999 net loss included
  an income tax credit of $92,000, because of the operating loss, while net
  income for the quarter ended January 31, 1998 included a $68,000 income tax
  provision.

                  Nine Months Ended January 31, 1999 Compared
                     To Nine Months Ended January 31, 1998

     Total revenues increased $203,000 or 1%, in the nine months ended January
  31, 1999, to $27,004,000 from $26,801,000 in the same period in fiscal 1998.
  Publishing revenues increased $1,360,000, or 10%, and increased as a
  percentage of revenues to 54%, compared to 49% for the first nine months of
  fiscal 1998. Instructor-led training revenues increased $2,705,000, or 32%, to
  $11,152,000, and increased as a percentage of total revenues to 41% compared
  to 32% in the first nine months of fiscal 1998. Custom solutions revenues
  decreased $3,861,000, or 74%, to $1,346,000 for the first nine months of
  fiscal 1999 and decreased to 5% of total revenues, from 19% in the 1998
  period. International sales represented a substantial component of both ILT
  and publishing revenues. International publishing revenues for the nine-month
  period were $5,356,000, or 37% of total publishing revenues, compared to 24%
  in the same period in the prior fiscal year. International ILT revenues were
  $2,936,000, or 26%, of total ILT revenues, for the first nine months of fiscal
  1999, compared to 31% of total ILT revenues, for the same period in the prior
  year.
<PAGE>
 
     Cost of services, products and development increased $227,000, or 2%, for
  the nine months ended January 31, 1999, to $14,646,000, and remained stable as
  a percentage of total revenues, at 54%, compared to the fiscal 1998 period.
  Increases in rent expenses, facilities and equipment rentals, material costs,
  royalties for third-party products used in international sales and development
  expenses were partially offset by decreased costs for custom solutions and
  decreases in domestic personnel related expenses.

     Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 1999,
  increased $1,534,000, or 24%, to $8,056,000, and increased as a percentage of
  revenues, to 30% from 24% in the prior year.  Total payroll and related
  expenses for sales and marketing increased by $430,000, or 11%, during the
  first nine months of fiscal 1999.  Direct mail expenses increased by $442,000,
  or 26%, from the fiscal 1998 nine-month period, while advertising, printing
  and promotional expenses increased $490,000, or 75%, for trade show and
  international expenses.  International sales and marketing expenses increased
  by $514,000, or 31%.  While the Company has had a strong corresponding growth
  in ILT and published products billings, many orders remain as deferred
  revenues.

     General and administrative expenses decreased by $530,000, or 11%, for the
  first nine months of fiscal 1999, and decreased as a percentage of total
  revenues to 16% from 19% in the same period in fiscal 1998.  Depreciation
  expense decreased $324,000, or 27%, as older equipment was fully depreciated
  and the Company shifted to leased rather than purchased equipment. General and
  administrative payroll related expenses decreased $215,000 or 13%.  These
  decreases were partially offset by increases in professional fees, real estate
  and equipment rental and investor relations expenses.

     Wave had a provision for income taxes of $256,000 in fiscal 1998, while the
  Company recognized an income tax credit of $77,000 in the period ended January
  31, 1999.

     The Company recognized a net loss for the current nine-month period of
  $116,000, compared to net income of $547,000 for the same period in the
  previous fiscal year.  The Company's loss per share was $0.03 for the nine
  months ended January 31, 1999 compared to net income of $0.14 per share for
  the same period in fiscal 1998.


                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's net cash balance at January 31, 1999, was $555,000, compared
  to $1,498,000 at April 30, 1998.  Total accounts receivable increased by
  $3,867,000, to $11,129,000, primarily as the result of payment terms on large
  licensing agreements and the disproportionate amount of quarterly revenues
  recognized in January.  Prepaid expenses increased $923,000 from $680,000 at
  April 30, 1998, largely for agreements to lease classroom facilities in
  various United States cities to perform Wave's MCSE "boot camps."  Accounts
  payable and accrued expenses increased slightly, by $138,000, or 3%, to a
  total of $4,965,000.

     Total deferred revenue was $6,032,000 as of the end of the quarter.  This
  compares to total deferred revenue at April 30, 1998 of $3,947,000, and to
  total deferred revenue at

<PAGE>
 
  October 31, 1998, the end of the second fiscal quarter, of $5,106,000.
  Deferred revenue reflects completed sales by the Company, where the Company
  has recognized the cost of selling and order execution, so that Wave carries
  limited ongoing operating expenses to fulfill these additional sales and
  recognize the related revenue.

     Wave had drawn $1,950,000 on the line of credit at quarter end, compared to
  no balance at the end of fiscal 1998.  The Company had overnight borrowing
  balances on the line continuously during the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and
  on most days during the same quarter in fiscal 1998.

     In January, 1999, Wave increased its credit line by $1,000,000 to
  $3,500,000.  The Company believes that cash generated from operations,
  together with existing cash balances, and its available credit line, should be
  sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash requirements for the next several
  months.


  Year 2000

     The Company is performing an analysis of its systems and continuing to work
  with its software vendors to determine the impact of Year 2000 issues on its
  operations.  Based upon preliminary discussions with its vendors, management
  believes that Year 2000-compliant upgrades are available for all of its
  programs at minimal costs, aggregating approximately $160,000 for materials,
  installation nd testing, including $140,000 of estimated internal labor costs.
  Although the Company's vendors have indicated that Year 2000-compliant
  upgrades are available, in the event that such upgrades are not compatible
  with existing hardware or software, or are not fully compliant, Wave believes
  that it can complete all internal functions manually, including order entry,
  class registration and scheduling, accounting and financial reporting.  This
  would involve additional employee time and effort, and might delay completion
  of certain internal reports, and would be estimated to cost an additional
  $25,000 to $50,000 for short-term employee overtime and temporary labor costs.
  If broad interruption of telephone, banking, air travel or similar services or
  utilities were to occur, however, this would have a material adverse effect on
  the Company's operations, as it would interfere with customers' abilities to
  place and pay for orders, and the Company's ability to ship publishing
  materials to its customers, and to fulfill customers' training requirements.
  The most likely risk for Wave as the result of Year 2000 issues is the
  potential delay by companies in sending their technology employees to training
  programs.  This could result in a significant decline in revenues for the last
  calendar quarter of 1999 and the first calendar quarter of 2000, as
  information technology professionals stay "on call" to deal with their
  employers' potential Year 2000 problems.

  Forward  Looking Statements

     Certain forward-looking statements are included in this Form 10-Q.  They
  use such words as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "plan,"
  and other similar terminology.  These statements reflect management's current
  expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Actual results
  could differ materially due to changes in the market acceptance of Wave's
  integrated program, market delays related to anticipated or new releases of
  NetWare 5 and Windows 2000, delay by Microsoft or

<PAGE>
 
  Novell or other vendors in implementing certification guidelines for their new
  products, the speed and effectiveness of new direct mail initiatives, global
  and local business and economic conditions, legislation and governmental
  regulations, competition, the Company's ability to effectively maintain and
  update its product portfolio, shifts in technology, political or economic
  instability in local markets, weather-related issues significantly affecting
  attendance at training centers, and currency and exchange rates. As Wave has
  focussed its core business and Camp Wave boot camps on training for
  Microsoft's MCSE, the Company's dependence on continued demand for the MCSE
  certification has increased significantly. In addition, as an increasing
  proportion of Wave's revenues are attributable to large licensing agreements,
  significant quarterly fluctuations in revenues and earnings may occur. Wave's
  fiscal 2000 results also will be adversely affected if companies reduce
  training for their IT staffs to keep these employees on site to address
  potential Year 2000 problems.

Principal Amount:  $3,500,000.00         Initial Rate:  7.750%          Date of Note:  January 1, 1999
</TABLE>

PROMISE TO PAY. Wave Technologies International, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to
pay to COMMERCE BANK, N.A. ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United
States of America, the principal amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand &
00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with
interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest
shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each
advance.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal
plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 1, 1999. In addition, Borrower
will pay regular monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest beginning February
1, 1999, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the same day of each
month after that. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a
365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by
the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will
pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law,
payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal,
and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an index which is the per annum rate from time
to time announced by Lender at its main office as the prime rate, or as the case
may be, the base, reference or other rate then in use for commercial loan
reference purposes, not necessarily the lowest or even favored rate, which
serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for
those loans making reference thereto (the "Index"). The initial rate and current
index described above are based on information available as of the date of
preparation of this note and is subject to change if there is any change in the
Index between the note preparation date and the Loan Date and Date of Note
recited above. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's
request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as
well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each Day. Rates of
interest tied to the Index shall change with and be effective on the date of
each change in the Index. The Index currently is 7.750% per annum. The interest
rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Note will be at a rate
equal to the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 7.750% per annum. NOTICE:
Under no circumstances will the interest rate on the Note be more than the
maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges
are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund
upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as
otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without
penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early
payments will not, unless agreed to by the Lender in writing, relieve Borrower
of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid
interest. Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due.

DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when
due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Note or
any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan Borrower
has with Lender. (c) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender
by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material
respect either now or at the time made or furnished. (d) Borrower becomes
insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's property, Borrower
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced
either by Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
(e) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender
has a lien or security interest. This includes a garnishment or any of
Borrower's accounts with Lender. (f) Any guarantor dies or any of the other
events described in this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of
this Note or any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify
or revoke such guarantor's guarantee of this Note. (g) A material adverse change
occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of
payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired. (h) Lender in good faith
deems itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon default, including failure
to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under
applicable law, do one or both of the following: (a) increase the variable
interest rate on this Note to 3.000 percentage points over the Index, and (b)
add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest
therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased
rate). The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if
Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that amount. This includes,
subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and
Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys'
fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify
or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-
judgment collection services. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also
will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law. This
Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of
Missouri. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit
to the jurisdiction of the coruts of St. Louis County, the State of Missouri.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Missouri.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in,
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation
all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open
in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust
accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.
Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and all such accounts.

LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under
this Note may be requested orally by Borrower or by an authorized person. Lender
may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing. All
communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or otherwise to Lender
are to be directed to Lender's office shown above. The following party or
parties are authorized to request advances under the line of credit until Lender
receives from Borrower at Lender's address shown above written notice of
revocation of their authority: Kenneth W Kousky, President; and J. M. Bowles,
CFO. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (a) advanced in
accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (b) credited to any
of Borrower's accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this
Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's
internal records, including daily computer print-outs. Lender will have no
obligation to advance funds under this Note if: (a) Borrower or any guarantor is
in default under the terms of this Note or any agreement that Borrower or any
guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the
signing of this Note; (b) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is
insolvent; (c) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit,
modify or revoke such guarantor's guarantee of this Note or any other loan with
Lender; (d) Borrower has applied funds provided pursuant to this Note for
purposes other than those authorized by Lender; or (e) Lender in good faith
deems itself insecure under this Note or any other agreement between Lender and
Borrower.

PRIOR NOTE. This is a renewal of borrowers note dated September 1, 1998.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or
remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who
signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive
presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor. Upon any
change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in
writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor,
accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such
parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of
time) this loan, or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair,
fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral;
and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or
notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan
without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the
modification is made.
