NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 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 July 31, 1996 and 1995, and April 30,
1996, and results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended July 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, 1996.
2. The results for the three months ended July 31, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
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.
4. Inventories were as follows:

LIFO reserve (3,691) (3,563) (3,526)
----------------------------------
Total inventories $61,416 44,352 43,981
----------------------------------
The increase in inventories at July 31, 1996 primarily relates to the
acquisition of VCH.
5. In June 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of a 90% interest in
the German based VCH Publishing Group (VCH) through the purchase of 90% of the
shares of VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH for approximately $99 million in cash,
including estimated expenses. VCH is a leading scientific, technical, and
professional publisher of journals and books in such disciplines as chemistry,
architecture, civil engineering and law.
The transaction is initially being financed through available cash balances,
existing lines of credit, and a $75 million bridge line of credit. The
Company is currently in the process of refinancing the transaction.
In July 1996, the Company acquired the publishing assets of Technical
Insights, Inc., a publisher of print and electronic newsletters in various
areas of science and technology for approximately $3.8 million in cash.
These acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method, and the
accompanying financial statements include the net assets acquired and results
of operations since date of acquisition. The cost of the acquisitions has
been allocated on the basis of preliminary estimates of the fair values of
the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Final asset and liability
fair values may differ based on appraisals and tax bases, however it is
anticipated that any changes will not have a material effect in the aggregate
on the consolidated financial position of the Company. The excess of cost
over the preliminary estimate of the fair value of the tangible assets
acquired amounted to approximately $120 million relating to acquired
publication rights, noncompete agreements, goodwill and other intangibles and
is being amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated average life of
30 years.
The following pro forma information presents the results of operations of the
Company as if the VCH acquisition had been consummated as of May 1, 1995.
The pro forma effects for Technical Insights were not material. The pro
forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the actual
results that would have been obtained had the acquisition been consummated as
of May 1, 1995, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of
operations.

6. Effective May 1, 1996, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". This standard establishes the
accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used,
and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Effective May 1, 1996, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's SFAS No. 123. "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation' ("SFAS 123").
This standard established accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
employee compensation. The Company will continue to measure compensation
costs for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value-based
method, and will include certain pro forma disclosures required by SFAS 123
in its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JULY 31, 1996
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During this seasonal period of cash usage, operating activities used $30.2
million of cash, or $9.6 million more than the prior year's comparable
quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher working capital and
expense levels to support the higher volume of business. 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, later in the fiscal year.
Investing activities used $109.9 million during the current quarter, or $101
million more than the comparable prior year's quarter, due to the VCH and
Technical Insights acquisitions as mentioned in note 5.
Financing activities primarily reflect the initial financing for the above
acquisitions as indicated in note 5, as well as dividend payments during the
quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1996
Revenues for the first quarter advanced 13% to $99.2 million compared with
$88.1 million in the prior year. Operating income for the current quarter
was $11.7 million, compared with $11.5 million in the prior year. Net income
advanced 2% to $7.2 million. The current quarter includes the results of
operations of VCH Publishing Group since date of acquisition in June 1996,
which had the effect of increasing revenues by approximately 6%, and reducing
operating income by $0.7 million and net income by $1.0 million, or $0.06 per
share, primarily due to amortization of intangibles and financing costs
related to the acquisition.
Excluding VCH, the improvement in revenues and operating income was primarily
attributable to strong performances in the Company's scientific, technical
and medical journals program and in its college division.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased from 32.8% in the prior
year to 33.9%. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 52.7% in
the current quarter compared with 52.9% in the prior year's first quarter.
Interest expense increased by $0.7 million due to the financing costs related
to the VCH acquisition. The effective tax rate of 36% in the current quarter
reflects a reduction of 4% from the prior year's first quarter due in large
part to the tax benefits of VCH's acquisition related amortization and
financing costs.
