NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1995
1.In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated
financial position as of October 31, 1995 and April 30, 1995,
and results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended
October 31, 1995 and 1994. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the most recent audited financial statements
contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1995.
2.The results for the six months ended October 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
Share data has been restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock
split of October 5, 1995.
3.Income per share is determined by dividing income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise
of outstanding dilutive stock options and other stock awards,
less shares assumed to be repurchased with the related
proceeds at the average market price for the period for
primary earnings per share, and at the higher of the average
or end of period market price for fully diluted earnings per
share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OCTOBER 31, 1995
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During this seasonal period of cash usage, operating
activities used $26.2 million of cash, or $8.1 million more
than the prior year's comparable period. The increase was
primarily due to the planned increase in expenses and to
higher inventory and receivable levels. The use of cash
during this period is consistent with the seasonality of the
journal subscription and the educational sector's receipts
cycle which occur, for the most part, in the second half of
the fiscal year.
Investing activities used $17.5 million during the current
quarter, or $1.4 million more than the prior year. Current
year acquisitions included the Preservation Press consisting
of architectural heritage books and technical preservation
guides.
Financing activities during the period primarily reflect short-
term borrowing needs as a result of prepaying long-term debt
at the end of last fiscal year, as well as dividend payments
and the purchase of treasury shares.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995
Revenues for the second quarter advanced 11% to $86.8 million
compared with $78.6 million in the prior year. Operating
income for the current quarter was $7.1 million, a 26%
increase, compared with $5.7 million in the prior year. Net
income advanced 38%.
The improvement in revenues and operating income was driven
primarily by the Company's scientific, technical and medical
journals programs and its professional and trade business and
computer book lines. College division results for the quarter,
although still below expectations, benefited from the shift in
ordering patterns from the first quarter into the second
quarter as previously communicated. European and Asian
operations continued to reflect healthy revenue gains.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased from 33.4%
in the prior year to 33.8%, due to higher paper costs which
were anticipated. Operating expenses as a percentage of
revenues improved from 58.1% to 56.7%, as operating costs grew
at a slower rate than revenue growth due to cost containment
measures.
Interest expense declined by $.5 million due to the prepayment
of $26 million of high-cost debt at the end of last fiscal
year. The effective tax rate of 40% was the same for both
periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995
Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1996 were $174.9
million, or 10% ahead of the $159.3 million in the comparable
prior year period. Operating income was $18.6 million, or 16%
above the $16.1 million of the prior year period. Net income
was $11.4 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 24% over
the prior year period. The improvements in revenues and
income for the period are attributable to the same factors
noted in the results of operations for the second quarter.
For the year-to-date, cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues increased from 33.0% to 33.3%, and operating expenses
declined from 55.5% to 54.8%.
The effective tax rate was 40% in both years.
