NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1996
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
January 31, 1996 and 1995, and April 30, 1995, and results of
operations and cash flows for the periods ended January 31, 1996
and 1995. 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 nine months ended January 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. 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
JANUARY 31, 1996
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 provided
$63.6 million of cash, or $8.6 million more than the prior year's
comparable period. Approximately $6 million of the increase was
attributable to tax refunds and interest received on the favorable
resolution of amended tax return claims. The remaining improvement
was due to higher journal receipts compared with the prior year. The
generation of cash during this period is consistent with the
seasonality of the journal subscription receipts cycle which occurs,
for the most part, in the third quarter of the fiscal year.
Investing activities used $26.9 million during the current period,
compared with $25.6 million in the prior year. Investments in product
development assets of $19.2 million increased $5.3 million over the
prior year in support of the higher volume of business.
Financing activities primarily reflect dividends and the purchase of
treasury shares.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996
Revenues for the third quarter advanced 6% to $97.4 million compared
with $91.9 million in the prior year. Operating income for the
current quarter was $10.7 million, or a 5% increase, compared with
$10.2 million in the prior year. Net income advanced 51% for the
quarter, or 10% excluding the effects of the interest received on the
tax settlement as mentioned in Note 5 of the Notes to the Financial
Statements.
The improvement in revenues and operating income was primarily
attributable to strong performances in the Company's scientific,
technical and medical journal programs and in its professional/trade
computer book line. The college division, although reflecting revenue
gains for the quarter better than industry averages, is operating in a
market that is showing only slight growth overall. Revenue gains were
also noteworthy in the Company's European and Asian operations.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 36.8% for the third
quarter of the current year compared with 35.4% in the prior year,
reflecting higher paper costs which were anticipated. Operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 52.5% in the prior
year to 51.1%, as operating costs grew at a slower rate than revenue
growth due to cost containment measures.
Interest income increased as a result of the favorable tax settlement.
Interest expense declined by $.6 million for the quarter and $1.8
million for the year-to-date due to the prepayment of $26 million of
high-cost debt at the end of last fiscal year. The effective tax rate
was 36% compared with 35% in the prior years' third quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996
Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were $272.3 million,
or 8% ahead of the $251.3 million in the comparable prior year period.
Operating income was $29.3 million, or 11% above the $26.3 million of
the prior year period. Net income was $21.2 million, an increase of
$5.5 million, or 35% over the prior year. Excluding the effects of
the interest received on the tax settlement, net income increased 18%
over the prior year.
For the year-to-date, cost of sales as a percentage of revenues
increased from 33.9% to 34.5%, and operating expenses declined from
54.4% to 53.5% of revenues.
The improvements in revenues and income for the period, as well as the
variances in the expense ratios, are attributable to the same factors
noted in the results of operations for the third quarter.
The effective tax rate was approximately 38% in both years.
