NOTE C -- EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

     For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company raised approximately
$1,316,000 though a private placement of 448,287 shares of its common stock at
$2.94 per share.

     The Company entered into a Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the
"Equity Line Agreement")with Hambrecht & Quist Guaranty Finance, LLC ("H&QGF")

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of (1)
the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance
and (2) the average of the lowest intra-day prices of the Company's common stock
over the five-day period ending on the date of issuance. The Company may sell as
much as $500,000 in preferred stock at any time, subject to certain conditions,
with the total amount sold not to exceed $3.0 million; except that the number of
shares of preferred stock that can be sold to H&QGF is further limited by the
requirement that H&QGF hold no more than 9.9% of our outstanding stock at any

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, the availability of sufficient
capital to finance the Company's business plan on terms satisfactory to the
Company, 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 acquisitions, security risks, government regulations and competition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1998

  Summary

     For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss
of $1,852,802 (or $0.40 per share after accrual of dividends for preferred
stockholders) as compared to a net loss of $4,731,266 (or $1.24 per share) for
the three months ended June 30, 1998. The improvement in second quarter 1999
results as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998 was due primarily to
an increase in higher margin online tuition revenues as a percentage of total
revenues, and to cost controls implemented during the first quarter of 1998 as a
result of management reorganization plans, and certain non-recurring charges in
the same period.

     Instructor-led training revenues decreased 18.4% to $1,166,135 in the
second quarter of 1999, compared to $1,428,723 for the same period in 1998. The
decrease was due primarily to the closing of two instructor-led training
facilities at the end of the second quarter of 1998 as a result of management
reorganization plans.

     Online tuition revenues increased 274.7% to $967,491 in the second quarter
of 1999, compared to $258,177 for the same period in 1998. For the three months
ended June 30, 1999, sales of online courses jumped 506.3% to approximately
97,000 courses delivered during the quarter, up from second quarter 1998
deliveries of approximately 16,000 online courses. The Company believes that
online tuition revenues will continue to increase in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of total revenue as the Company completes the previously-announced
divestitures of its non-online businesses, with the exception of Teletutor.

     Product sales revenues decreased 64.5% to $311,510 in the second quarter of
1999, compared to $877,005 for the same period in 1998. The decrease was due to
the sale of Ivy at the end of the third quarter of 1998, and a decrease in
product sales to a major Knowledgeworks customer.

     Development and other revenues increased 27.1% to $340,325 in the second
quarter of 1999, compared to $267,772 for the second quarter of 1998. The
increase was due primarily to an increase in courseware development orders from
existing customers.

     Other service revenues decreased 88.5% to $68,600 in the second quarter of
1999, compared to $594,960 for the same period in 1998. The decrease was due to
the sale of HTR's consulting business at the end of the fourth quarter of 1998.

     Virtual campus software revenues were $74,926 in the second quarter of
1999, compared to $834 in the second quarter of 1998. The Company continues to
receive virtual campus licensing fees from existing customers who renew their
licenses.

  Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues decreased 32.5% to $1,481,484 in the second quarter of
1999 as compared to $2,194,268 for the second quarter of 1998. The decrease was
due primarily to the closing of two instructor-led training facilities at the
end of the second quarter of 1998, the sale of HTR's consulting business at the
end of the fourth quarter of 1998, and to a lesser extent, the sale of Ivy at
the end of the third quarter of 1998.

  Operating Expenses

     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased 29.5% to
$1,153,927 in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to $1,636,766 for the
second quarter in 1998. The decrease was due primarily to cost controls
initiated at the end of the first quarter of 1998 as a result of management
reorganization plans.

     Product Development.  Product development expenses decreased 72.5% to
$506,749 in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to $1,840,775 for the second
quarter of 1998. The decrease was due primarily to cost controls initiated at
the end of the first quarter of 1998 as a result of management reorganization
plans.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses decreased
2.2% to $633,913 in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to $648,188 for the
second quarter of 1998.

     Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased 3.2% to $768,385 in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to $744,852
for the second quarter of 1998. The increase was due primarily to an increase in
amortization of capitalized product development costs offset by decreases due to
the sale of Ivy at the end of the third quarter of 1998, the sale of HTR's
consulting business at the end of the fourth quarter of 1998, and the write-down
of goodwill related to the non-online businesses at the end of the fourth
quarter of 1998 as a result of the Company's plan to divest these assets in
1999.

     Reorganization Costs.  Reorganization costs of $928,870 incurred during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 primarily relate to the Company's workforce
reduction plan, closing of certain office and

                                        7
<PAGE>   9

training facilities, and elimination and/or re-definition of certain positions
within UOL and HTR to reduce costs and improve functionality.

     Gain on Sale of Subsidiary.  The Company recognized a gain of $1,446 on the
sale of its Knowledgeworks line of business in the second quarter of 1999.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense remained relatively unchanged in the
second quarter of 1999 as compared to the second quarter of 1998. Interest
expense was primarily incurred in connection with the Company's borrowings on
its line of credit facility and term loan. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources".

     Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

  Summary

     For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss of
$3,493,292 (or $0.79 per share after accrual of dividends for preferred
stockholders) as compared to a net loss of $11,191,652 (or $2.93 per share) for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. The improvement in results for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to results for the six months ended June
30, 1998 was due primarily to an increase in higher margin online tuition
revenues as a percentage of total revenues, and to cost controls implemented
during the first six months of 1998 as a result of management reorganization
plans, and certain non-recurring charges in the same period.

     Instructor-led training revenues decreased 17.5% to $2,560,579 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $3,102,540 for the same period in 1998.
The decrease was due primarily to the closing of two instructor-led training
facilities at the end of the second quarter of 1998 as a result of management
reorganization plans.

     Online tuition revenues increased 248.6% to $1,848,739 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to $530,382 for the same period in 1998. Sales of
online courses jumped 361.1% to approximately 160,000 courses delivered for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to course deliveries of
approximately 34,700 during the six months ended June 30, 1998.

     Product sales revenues decreased 61.1% to $711,145 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to $1,827,211 for the same period in 1998. The decrease
was due to the sale of Ivy at the end of the third quarter of 1998, a decrease
in Teletutor product sales due to the downsizing its operations at the end of
the first quarter of 1998, and a decrease in product sales to a major
Knowledgeworks customer.

     Development and other revenues increased 58.2% to $576,199 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $364,253 for the same period in 1998.
The increase was due primarily to an increase in courseware development orders
from existing customers.

     Other service revenues decreased 87.0% to $150,316 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to $1,160,611 for the same period in 1998. The decrease
was due to the sale of HTR's consulting business at the end of the fourth
quarter of 1998.

     Virtual campus software revenues increased 170.2% to $117,092 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $43,334 for the same period in 1998. The

  Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues decreased 34.8% to $2,949,923 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to $4,522,946 for the same period in 1998. The
decrease was due primarily to the closing of two instructor-led training
facilities at the end of the second quarter of 1998, the sale of HTR's
consulting business at the end of the fourth quarter of 1998, and to a lesser
extent, the sale of Ivy at the end of the third quarter of 1998.

  Operating Expenses

     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased 32.8% to
$2,196,440 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $3,267,324 for
the same period in 1998. The decrease was due primarily to cost controls
initiated at the end of the first quarter of 1998 as a result of management
reorganization plans.

     Product Development.  Product development expenses decreased 78.2% to
$1,011,631 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $4,640,559 for the
same period in 1998. The decrease was due primarily to cost controls initiated
at the end of the first quarter of 1998 as a result of management reorganization
plans, and the write-off during the first quarter of 1998 of approximately
$750,000 related to previously capitalized content acquisition and development
costs.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses decreased
48.1% to $1,322,043 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
$2,548,701 for the same period in 1998. The decrease was due primarily to
approximately $1,075,000 of bad debt expense in the first quarter of 1998, and
to a lesser extent, cost controls initiated at the end of the first quarter of
1998 as a result of management reorganization plans.

     Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense
remained relatively unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared
to the same period in 1998.

     Reorganization Costs.  Reorganization costs of $1,396,510 incurred during
the six months ended June 30, 1998, primarily relate to the Company's workforce
reduction plan, closing of certain office and training facilities, and
elimination and/or re-definition of certain positions within UOL and HTR to
reduce costs and improve functionality.

                                        9
<PAGE>   11

     Gain on Sale of Subsidiary.  The Company recognized a gain of $1,446 on the
sale of its Knowledgeworks line of business in the second quarter of 1999.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense remained relatively unchanged for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. Interest
expense was primarily incurred in connection with the Company's borrowings on
its line of credit facility and term loan. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources".

YEAR 2000

     Computers, software and microprocessors that use only two digits to
identify a year in a date field may be unable to process accurately certain
date-based information at or after the year 2000. This is commonly referred to
as the "Year 2000" issue. The Company is addressing the issue in several ways.
First, the Company has established a team to monitor product compliance and
believes that all Company products are Year 2000 compliant. Secondly, the
Company is in the process of seeking Year 2000 compliance certification from its
major suppliers and vendors related to their products and internal business
applications. Finally, the Company has established a team to coordinate Year
2000 compliance related to internal systems.

     Many of the Company's systems use vendor-provided software, and Year 2000
compliance is expected to be achieved through vendor specific upgrades. For
other internal systems, testing will be completed internally to ensure Year 2000
compliance. As of June 30, 1999, the Company has completed its assessments of
Year 2000 compliance with respect to all of its own products and internal
systems and 95% of its vendor-provided systems and applications. The Company
anticipates all of its systems will have been addressed and updated through
vendor provided upgrades or through completion of internal testing prior to the
end of the third quarter of 1999. The Company does not believe that the cost of
its Year 2000 compliance program will be material to its financial condition or
results of operations. The Company does not believe that the Year 2000 issue
will materially adversely affect its business. However, the Company continues to
bear risk related to Year 2000 and could be materially adversely affected if
significant customers or suppliers fail to address the issue or if vendor
upgrades are not provided to the Company as required. The Company could be
forced to spend significant resources and funds to find alternative providers of
systems and applications used by the Company. The Company's contingency plan for
any vendor-provided product found to be non-Year 2000 compliant upon completion
of the Company's assessment is to insist upon vendor compliance within a
reasonable time in advance of Year 2000 and to pursue alternative products with
other Year 2000 compliant vendors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 1999, the Company had $304,871 in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash utilized in operating activities was $1,895,671 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, all of which was funded by two private placements of common stock
totaling approximately $2,366,000. Net cash used in operating activities for the
same period in 1998 was $6,918,383. The improvement primarily reflects cost
controls initiated at the end of the first quarter of 1998 as a result of
management reorganization plans.

     Net cash utilized in investing activities was $50,947 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and $1,513,567 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The
use of cash for investing activities was primarily attributable to purchases of
equipment, software development costs that were capitalized, and in 1998,
approximately $356,000 paid to the former shareholder of Ivy pursuant to the
acquisition agreement relating to the Company's acquisition of IVY.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,915,295 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and $7,972,614 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999 the Company raised approximately
$1,050,000 through a private placement of 282,500 shares of its common stock at
$4.00 per share. In connection with this transaction, the Company also issued
warrants, exercisable over 3 years at $3.00 per share, for the purchase of
70,625 shares of common stock. During the same period, the Company also raised
approximately $1,316,000 though a private placement of 448,297 shares of its
common stock at $2.94 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 the
Company raised $5,300,000 through a private placement of 626,300 shares of its
Series C convertible Preferred Stock, raised approximately $5,200,000 in a

                                       10
<PAGE>   12

private placement of 1,082,625 of its Series D convertible Preferred Stock, and
borrowed on its then existing line of credit facility.

     Management recognizes the need to raise additional funds in order to retire
existing debt and to fund anticipated ongoing operating losses, which management
expects to continue at least until the Company divests its remaining non-online
legacy businesses. The Company has also taken the following actions to provide
future funding for operations:

     - The Company raised $2.5 million in June 1999 through the issuance of 9%
       Secured Subordinated Convertible Debentures due December 15, 2000,
       substantially all of the proceeds from which were used to retire all of
       the Company's existing bank debt.

     - The Company is in the process of negotiating a $1.0 million line of
       credit facility with a new lender.

     - The Company has retained investment-banking services to assist in the
       divestiture of the HTR instructor-led training business, and expects to
       complete this transaction during the fourth quarter of 1999.

     - The Company has retained advisory services to identify a strategic
       partner to provide both global marketing leverage and additional capital.

     On July 28, 1999, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities Exchange Commission for the resale of 5,494,466 shares of its common
stock held by Company stockholders or issuable upon conversion of debt or
preferred stock. Shares to be registered include up to 1,800,000 shares that may
be offered and sold, from time to time, by H&Q, who will originally receive
these shares by converting shares of preferred stock that the Company may issue
and sell to them in the aggregate of up to $3.0 million under its private equity
line of credit agreement with H&Q.

     If the Company does not address its funding needs, it will be materially
adversely affected. 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 customers and resellers, and the extent to which the Company invests in new
technology and research and development projects.
