The April 30, 2000 balance sheet amounts have been derived from the April 30, 2000 audited financial statements of the Registrant. Since the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements, it is suggested that they be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant's April 30, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to reflect a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 Total revenues were $17.4 million and $35.6 million for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2000, respectively, compared to $34.3 million and $76.3 million in the comparable periods of the prior year. The reduction in revenues was principally due to the restructuring of the Company's real estate operations, including the continuing wind-down of homebuilding activities. Revenues from land sales were $3.1 million and $5.9 million in the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2000, respectively, compared to $12.1 million and $20.3 million in the comparable periods of the prior year, resulting from decreased sales of both residential lots to homebuilders as well as commercial and industrial properties. Revenues from residential lot sales decreased to $2.9 million in the second quarter and $5.2 million in the six month period ended October 31, 2000 from $8.2 million and $15.0 million in the comparable periods of the prior year, primarily because the prior year periods included bulk lot sales to other homebuilders in Colorado with an aggregate sales value of over $5.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively, made as part of the Company's restructuring plan to sell its remaining real estate assets in Colorado, whereas there were no comparable sales in the current year periods. In addition, revenues from the sale of commercial and industrial land were $200,000 and $600,000 in the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2000, respectively, compared to $3.9 million and $5.4 million in the comparable periods last year. The average gross profit percentage on land sales increased from 30% in both the second quarter and six month periods of fiscal 2000 to 63% in the second quarter and 57% in the six month period of fiscal 2001, mainly because the prior year included a higher percentage of sales of residential lots, including those bulk lot sales in Colorado discussed above, which was generally at lower gross profit percentages than commercial and industrial land sales have historically achieved. Land sale revenues and related gross profits can vary from period to period as a result of the nature and timing of specific transactions, and thus prior results are not necessarily an indication of amounts that may be expected to occur in future periods. Revenues from housing sales decreased to $500,000 and $2.7 million in the three and six month periods of fiscal 2001, respectively, from $7.9 million and $26.6 million in the same periods of the prior year, which decrease reflected the effects of the restructuring of the Company's real estate operations, as discussed above, and is expected to continue as the Company's remaining homebuilding activities are completed. In addition, the second quarter results included charges of approximately $500,000 in fiscal 2001 and $1.9 million in fiscal 2000 for valuation adjustments and other reserves associated with the wind-down of certain real estate projects outside of the Company's core market in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. There was no other significant effect on net income resulting from the withdrawal from homebuilding between these periods, however, as the decline in homebuilding gross profits in the first half of fiscal 2001 was substantially offset by a comparable decrease in homebuilding-related commissions and selling and general and administrative expenses. 7 Revenues from magazine circulation operations decreased to $12.7 million and $25.1 million in the three and six month periods of the current year, respectively, compared to $13.9 million and $26.9 million in the comparable periods of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the magazine distribution segment of Kable News Company. Revenues from Newsstand Distribution Services decreased approximately 13% in this years second quarter and 16% for the six month period compared to last year, primarily due to customer losses and decreased sales for existing customers. Revenues from Fulfillment Services also decreased by 6% and 2% in the three and six month periods of fiscal 2001, respectively, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of the loss of sweepstakes processing business for one customer, which was partly offset by increased revenues from core fulfillment and other services. Also partially offsetting this revenue decrease was a decrease in magazines circulation operating expenses of 8% in the second quarter and 5% in the six month period, due in part to payroll-related reductions and reduced bad debt expense. Revenues from "Interest and other operations" increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to last year which included the effects of certain valuation adjustments and write-offs associated with equity investments in joint ventures, but decreased for the six month period due to the wind-down of ancillary operations related to homebuilding. Other operations expenses decreased in both the three and six month periods commensurate with the decrease in ancillary revenues noted above. Real estate commissions and selling expenses decreased in both the three and six month periods as a result of the wind-down of homebuilding operations and lower land sales. Real estate and corporate general and administrative expenses also decreased in both periods due to the effects of the Company's restructuring, including the wind-down of homebuilding activities. General and administrative costs of magazine circulation operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were comparable to the prior year, and increased for the six month period as a result of an increase in certain insurance costs. Interest expense increased moderately in the second quarter and is comparable for the six month period of fiscal 2001 compared to the same periods of fiscal 2000, generally due to lower borrowing requirements within the real estate segments, offset in part by increased interest in the magazine circulation operations resulting from slightly higher receivable balances and interest rates. As previously reported, the Company has been involved for several years in ongoing audits of its Federal tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for fiscal years 1984 through 1996. The Company has previously resolved all issues and paid taxes and related interest due for the years 1984 through 1992, and reached an interim agreement and paid all amounts due on certain issues for the years 1993 through 1996. In September 2000, the IRS presented to the Company a proposal to settle all remaining federal tax matters for these years. Until a final settlement has been approved by the Company and the IRS, however, these examinations remain open. If the proposed settlement becomes final, the amount actually owed for taxes and interest would be less than the amount accrued for this liability, and a tax benefit would be recognized at that time. While the exact amount of the potential tax benefit is uncertain and requires, among other things, the approval of the final agreement by the IRS and the determination of related interest, as well as a determination of resulting state tax adjustments, it could approximate $3.5 million. 8 Liquidity and Capital Resources During the past several years, the Company has financed its operations from internally generated funds from home and land sales and magazine circulation operations, and from borrowings under its various lines-of-credit and construction loan agreements. Over the past twenty-one months, the Company has restructured its real estate operations by winding-down homebuilding activities and selling a portion of its landholdings in Colorado, California and Oregon. At October 31, 2000, inventories increased to $75.4 million compared to $70.5 million at April 30, 2000 as a result of additional development of land in Rio Rancho, while notes payable increased to $50.2 million at October 31, 2000 compared to $46.9 million at April 30, 2000 due to increased borrowings in the magazine circulation operations. At October 31, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant of the $40 million credit arrangement for its magazine circulation operations, under which $31.8 million was outstanding. A waiver has been granted. This line of credit arrangement expires in September 2001. Accordingly, the amount outstanding has been classified as "Amount due within one year". The Company has been in negotiations with the lenders for an extension of the arrangement, however, no agreement has yet been reached. In connection with a previously announced self-tender "Dutch Auction," the Company reacquired 587,654 shares of its stock to be held as treasury stock at a cost of approximately $4.3 million, including expenses, during the quarter ended July 31, 2000. The Company also reacquired an additional 41,500 shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market at an approximate cost of $230,000 under a previously announced program. The Company believes that cash provided from operations together with existing cash balances, its lines-of-credit and land development loans will be sufficient to maintain liquidity at a satisfactory level. Statement of Forward-Looking Information Certain information included herein and in other Company statements, reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Refer to Item 7 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions and factors on which these statements are based.

OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings A civil action entitled United Magazine Company, Inc. et al. v. Murdoch Magazines Distribution, Inc., el al was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in May, 2000 by United Magazine Company and five affiliated companies ("Unimag" or "plaintiffs"). The plaintiffs were for many years in the business of wholesale distribution of magazines and other periodicals in Ohio, Michigan and parts of other states, with alleged annual sales in 1998 of $324 million. They originally sued Murdoch Magazines Distribution, Inc., a national distributor of magazines and other periodicals ("Murdoch"), and Chas. Levy Circulating Co., a large wholesaler ("Levy"), complaining that Murdoch and Levy destroyed Unimag's business through various improper acts. Murdoch moved to dismiss the complaint. In response, on August 31, 2000, Unimag filed an Amended Complaint correcting to some extent certain deficiencies in the original Complaint and adding as defendants the other national distributors including Kable News Company, Inc., ("Kable"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The Amended Complaint contains 15 causes of action, some of which are solely against Murdoch or Levy. The main allegation of the Amended Complaint is that the defendants destroyed plaintiff's business through violations of the antitrust laws, breaches of contracts and other improper acts. Plaintiffs allege that for many years wholesalers occupied exclusive territories pursuant to agreements with the national distributors, and that the right of exclusivity was enforced by the national distributors through their control of allotments of national publications containing local content and local advertising and their refusal to increase allotments to wholesalers who sought to invade the territories of other wholesalers. Plaintiffs further allege that commencing in 1995, the national distributors began permitting some wholesalers to supply magazines to major retails chains without regard to geographic location, in breach of the alleged exclusivity agreements. Plaintiffs also allege that the national distributors sold magazines to defendant Chas. Levy at prices lower than those charged to plaintiffs, placing plaintiffs at a competitive disadvantage. They seek damages in the amount of $275 million, trebled, plus pre-judgment interest and attorneys' fees. The action is in the preliminary stage but Kable believes that there are substantial defenses available to it, and these will be vigorously pursued. 11 Item 4.
