ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
     Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not descriptions of historical facts
are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a
number of factors, including those set forth herein and in the Company's other
SEC filings, and including, in particular, risks relating to uncertainties
relating to dependence on strategic partners and third party relationships,
management of rapid growth, dependence on online distribution, the risks and the
Company's payment obligations relating to the acquisitions of Ivy and Teletutor,
the availability of sufficient capital to finance the Company's business plan on
terms satisfactory to the Company, security risks, government regulations,
regulatory filings and competition.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company believes it is a leading publisher of high quality educational
courseware for the online education and training market through the World Wide
Web ("Web"). The Company offers its courseware to part-time students and working
adults in partnerships with academic institutions and business partners. The
Company was formed in 1984 as IMSATT Corporation, a multimedia research and
development company. In 1991, the Company acquired from Control Data certain
rights to resell the CYBIS online courseware, which consisted primarily of
courses in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, business and a
variety of technical subjects. In 1993, the Company modified its business focus
to capitalize on market opportunities for online education resulting from
technological advances relating to the Internet. Subsequently, the Company
raised additional financing and focused its development efforts on migrating its
technology to the Web in preparation for the launch of its first Web-based
course in November 1995. Having demonstrated its ability to deliver online
courseware through the Web and recognizing the opportunity to be a leader in
this market, the Company began forming strategic partnerships with key academic
institutions and business partners to develop and market its online products and
services. Prior to the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company generated a
substantial majority of its revenues from the licensing and maintenance of CYBIS
courseware under the Control Data subcontracts. However, the Company believes
that online revenues and product sales of computer-based training will be the
primary sources of its revenues in the future.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     (i) THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1996
 
     Net Revenues
 
     Net revenues increased from $117,650 for the three months ended June 30,
1996 to $2,516,776 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Online revenues
were $1,022,839 (41% of net revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to $20,000 (17% of net revenues) for the three months ended June 30,
1996. Online revenues are generated primarily from the sale of online licenses
to the Company's Virtual Campus(TM) product offerings and online tuition derived
from academic and corporate partners. In 1997, the Company began to market its
on-line learning environment, the Virtual Campus. Sales of Virtual Campuses
during the second quarter of 1997 were the primary reason for the increase in
online revenues.
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   7
 
     Development and other revenues were $680,623 (27% of net revenues) for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $9,200 (8% of net revenues) for the
prior year's quarter. Development and other revenues in the second quarter of
1997 included $325,000 recorded pursuant to a development funding agreement with
InternetU entered into in September 1996, as amended. Under this agreement,
InternetU provides the Company funding for the development of the Company's
Autodesk Virtual Campus in exchange for a share of the net revenues derived from
the operation of such campus, and warrants to purchase Common Stock of the
Company. Development revenues also include payments from certain of the
Company's partners for the Company's development of online courses.
 
     Product sales revenues were $732,206 (29% of net revenues) for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. Product sales revenues are derived from the sale of
computer based training ("CBT") courses that are delivered through traditional
CBT format (e.g. CD-ROM). Product sales revenues are generated by sales of the
courseware acquired from both Ivy Software and Teletutor (see Note C).
 
     Licensing and support revenues were $81,108 (3% of net revenues) for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $88,450 (75% of net revenues) for
the same quarter in 1996. Licensing and support revenues consist primarily of
revenue derived from the Company's Control Data subcontracts. This source of
revenue is expected to decline on a year-to-year basis due to budgetary
constraints of government agencies and the continued migration of Control Data
customers away from mainframe applications.
 
     Cost of Revenues
 
     Total cost of revenues increased from $22,306 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 to $283,087 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase
in absolute dollars was primarily due to the inclusion of the results of
operations of CTA, Ivy and Teletutor in the 1997 period, and certain third party
royalties payable under a contract entered into during the second quarter of
1997. Cost of revenues primarily consists of certain personnel costs directly
related to certain CTA development contracts and mainframe-based courseware
support, third party royalties, reseller costs, as well as communication costs
related to online revenues. The Company believes that in the future, total cost
of revenues will increase due to increases in third party royalties payable to
content providers.
 
     Operating Expenses
 
     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expense increased from $356,032
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $826,370 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. Sales and marketing expense consisted primarily of costs related
to personnel, sales commissions, travel, market research, advertising and
marketing materials. The increase was primarily due to increased staffing and
marketing campaigns, and the inclusion of the results of operations of CTA, Ivy
and Teletutor. During the latter part of 1996, the Company expanded its sales
and marketing organization in order to build an infrastructure to support the
anticipated revenue opportunities for online courseware. The Company expects
sales and marketing expense to increase substantially in the future as the
Company continues to expand its sales and marketing efforts.
 
     Product Development.  Product development expense increased from $172,445
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $1,012,228 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. Product development expense consisted primarily of certain
costs associated with the design, programming, testing, documenting and support
of the Company's new and existing courseware and software. The increase was
primarily attributable to the overall staffing and other cost increases aimed at
maintaining and enhancing the Company's courseware library and Virtual Campus
software. The Company is incurring significant expenses to convert traditional
educational and training content to courseware that can be delivered online over
the Web. Contributing to the increase in product development costs in the second
quarter of 1997 was the inclusion of the results of CTA and Teletutor. Product
development costs for the second quarter of 1997 are net of $438,387 of costs
capitalized in accordance with the Company's policy. No product development
costs were capitalized during the second quarter of 1996. The Company expects
that product development expense will substantially increase in the future as
the Company continues to expand its courseware library.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expense increased
from $318,170 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $353,848 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. General and administrative expense consisted
primarily of personnel costs, facilities and related costs, as well as legal,
accounting and other costs. General and administrative expense increased
primarily due to increases in all of the above costs to support the Company's
growth and additional operations due to acquisitions, and generally to cover
increased expenses associated with operating as a public company.
 
     Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased from $9,285 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $154,648 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. In August 1996, the Company recorded
goodwill and other intangibles in connection with its acquisition of CTA (see
Note C) in the amount of approximately $705,000, adjusted to $779,312 in the
second quarter of 1997. The Company is amortizing such goodwill and other
intangibles over 10 and three years, respectively. In March 1997, the Company
recorded approximately $300,000 in goodwill in connection with the acquisition
of Ivy. The Company is amortizing such goodwill over 10 years. In April 1997,
the Company recorded approximately $2,017,000 in intangible assets in connection
with the acquisition of Teletutor. The Company is amortizing such intangibles
over periods of between five and ten years. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is also attributable to increased depreciation expense of computer
equipment and other assets purchased by the Company to support its product
development, technical operations and personnel needs.
 
     Acquired In-Process Research, Development and Content.  During the second
quarter of 1997, the Company recorded a non-recurring, non-cash $2,700,000
expense which was deemed to be the fair market value of acquired in-process
research, development and content expense, in connection with the acquisition of
Teletutor.
 
     Interest and Other Income (Expense).  Interest expense for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 was $20,196, while interest income for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 was $134,597. Interest income is derived primarily from
investing funds raised in the Company's private and public securities offerings
during 1996. Other income of $86,253 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
consists of income recognized in connection to the release from a contract under
which the Company had received development funding.
 
     (ii) SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996
 
     Net Revenues
 
     Net revenues increased from $231,747 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
to $3,717,816 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Online revenues were
$1,529,093 (41% of net revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to $37,500 (16% of net revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Online
revenues are generated primarily from the sale of online licenses to the
Company's Virtual Campus product offerings and online tuition derived from
academic and corporate partners. In 1997, the Company began to market its
on-line learning environment, the Virtual Campus. Sales of Virtual Campuses
during the first six months of 1997 were the primary reason for the increase in
online revenues.
 
     Development and other revenues were $1,188,268 (32% of net revenues) for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $20,985 (9% of net revenues) for
the prior year period. Development and other revenues in 1997 included $560,000
recorded pursuant to a development funding agreement with InternetU entered into
in September 1996, as amended. Under this agreement, InternetU provides the
Company funding for the development of the Company's Autodesk Virtual Campus in
exchange for a share of the net revenues derived from the operation of such
campus, and warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company. Development
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 also include payments from
certain of the Company's partners for the Company's development of online
courses.
 
     Product sales revenues were $824,163 (22% of net revenues) for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. Product sales revenues are derived from the sales of
computer based training ("CBT") courses that are delivered through traditional
CBT format (e.g. CD-ROM). Product sales revenues are generated by sales of the
courseware acquired from both Ivy Software and Teletutor (see Note C).

     Licensing and support revenues were $176,292 (5% of net revenues) for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $173,262 (75% of net revenues) for
the same period in 1996. Licensing and support revenues consist primarily of
revenue derived from the Company's Control Data subcontracts. This source of
revenue is expected to decline on a year-to-year basis due to budgetary
constraints of government agencies and the continued migration of Control Data
customers away from mainframe applications.
 
     Cost of Revenues
 
     Total cost of revenues increased from $45,976 for the six months ended June
30, 1996 to $402,442 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in
absolute dollars was primarily due to the inclusion of the results of operations
of CTA, Ivy, and Teletutor in the 1997 period, and certain third party royalties
payable on a contract entered into during the second quarter of 1997.
 
     Operating Expenses
 
     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expense increased from $596,314
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $1,534,184 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily due to increased staffing and
marketing campaigns, and the inclusion of the results of operations of CTA, Ivy
and Teletutor. During the latter part of 1996, the Company expanded its sales
and marketing organization in order to build an infrastructure to support the
anticipated revenue opportunities for online courseware.
 
     Product Development.  Product development expense increased from $374,523
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $2,194,952 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the overall staffing
and other cost increases aimed at maintaining and enhancing the Company's
courseware library and Virtual Campus software. The Company is incurring
significant expenses to convert traditional educational and training content to
courseware that can be delivered online over the Web. Contributing to the
increase in product development costs in 1997 was the inclusion of the results
of CTA and Teletutor. Product development costs for the six months ended June
30, 1997 are net of $438,387 of costs capitalized in accordance with the
Company's policy. No product development costs were capitalized during the six
months ended June 30, 1996.
 
     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expense increased
from $512,717 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $736,128 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. General and administrative expense consisted
primarily of personnel costs, facilities and related costs, as well as legal,
accounting and other costs. General and administrative expense increased
primarily due to increases in all of the above costs to support the Company's
growth and additional operations due to acquisitions, and generally to cover
increased expenses associated with operating as a public company.
 
     Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased from $18,433 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $245,754 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is attributable to increased amortization associated with the CTA,
Ivy and Teletutor acquisitions, and to increased depreciation expense of
computer equipment and other assets purchased by the Company to support its
product development, technical operations and personnel needs.
 
     Acquired In-Process Research, Development and Content.  During the second
quarter of 1997, the Company recorded a non-recurring, non-cash $2,700,000
expense which was deemed to be the fair market value of acquired in process
research, development and content expense, in connection with the acquisition of
Teletutor.
 
     Interest and Other Income (Expense).  Interest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was $33,388, while interest income for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was $320,825. Interest income is derived primarily from investing
funds raised in the Company's private and public securities offerings during
1996. Other income of $205,529 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily
consists of a $119,276 settlement with a former vendor and $86,253 of income
recognized in connection to the release from a contract under which the Company
had received development funding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     As of June 30, 1997, the Company had $7,898,667 in cash and cash
equivalents. Since its inception, the Company has financed its operating cash
flow needs primarily through offerings of equity securities and, to a lesser
extent, borrowings from stockholders. Cash utilized in operating activities was
$2,853,814 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $992,134 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. Use of cash was primarily attributable to the net
loss recorded during the first quarter of 1997, two advance payments of $300,000
each in March and May 1997 to a joint marketing partner for development of
online courseware, and an increase in the level of accounts receivable at June
30, 1997 due to increased revenues.
 
     The use of cash for investing activities was primarily attributable to cash
payments of $3,300,000 in March and April 1997 in connection with the
acquisitions of Teletutor and Ivy, purchases of equipment in both periods, and
$315,000 for the acquisition of online publishing rights for certain content the
Company plans to market. Cash utilized in investing activities was $4,807,206
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $17,894 for the six months ended June
30, 1996. Cash provided by financing activities was $85,657 in the 1997 period
and $1,096,801 in the 1996 period.
 
     The Company expects negative cash flow from operations to continue for at
least the next six to nine months, as it continues product development and
expansion of its sales and marketing and administrative capabilities. The
Company believes that existing cash balances, together with existing sources of
liquidity, will satisfy its anticipated working capital and capital equipment
requirements for at least one year. The Company's future capital requirements
will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, acceptance of and
demand for its products and services, the types of arrangements that the Company
may enter into with partners and customers, cash used for acquisitions and the
extent to which the Company invests in new technology and research and
development projects.
 
     The Company and its bank lender have entered into a secured lending
arrangement, which expires in November 1999, in the aggregate principal amount
of $100,000. Amounts borrowed under this arrangement will bear interest at the
lender's prime rate plus 1% and are collateralized by the assets purchased with
the amounts so borrowed. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had no borrowings
against this arrangement.
 
     During 1996, Teletutor entered into a secured lending arrangement, which
expires in May 1998, with its bank in the aggregate principal amount of
$150,000. Amounts borrowed under this arrangement bear interest at the bank's
prime rate plus 2% and are collateralized by all business assets of Teletutor.
This line-of-credit facility requires monthly interest payments. As of June 30,
1997, the balance outstanding under this line-of-credit was $150,000.
 
     Depending on its rate of growth and profitability, if any, the Company may
require additional equity or debt financings to meet its working capital
requirements or capital equipment needs in the future or to fund and provide
working capital for its acquisitions. If additional funds are raised through the
issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the Company's
stockholders would be reduced. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available when required, or, if available, will be on terms
satisfactory to the Company.
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted in the December 31,
1997 financial statements. At that time, the Company will be required to change
the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share,
the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement
128 on the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the
interim periods presented herein, is not expected to be material.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company was held on May 28, 1997.
The following is a brief description of each matter voted upon at the meeting
and the number of affirmative votes and the number of negative votes cast with
