MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JULY 31, 1998
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During this seasonal period of cash usage, operating activities used $12.0
million of cash, or $5.9 million less than the prior year's comparable
quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher cash income. The use of
cash during this period is consistent with the seasonality of the journal
subscription and the educational sector's receipts cycle that occur, for
the most part, later in the fiscal year.
Investing activities used $16.5 million during the current quarter, or $6.9
million more than the comparable prior year's quarter, as the Company
continued to expand its core publishing programs through acquisitions
including the German based Huthig Publishing Group's scientific journals
and book program.
Financing activities primarily reflect the purchase of treasury shares and
dividend payments during the quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1998
Revenues for the first quarter advanced 9% to $122.1 million compared with
$112.1 million in the prior year. Operating income for the current quarter
increased 24% to $17.1 million, compared with $13.7 million in the prior
year. Net income advanced 31% to $10.6 million.
The improvement in operating results was led by the domestic college
division, which continued to report strong market share gains. The
scientific, technical and medical and the professional and trade publishing
programs also contributed to the increase in revenues. International
operations, with the exception of Asia, experienced solid revenue growth.
The Company's Asian markets are still feeling the effects of the economic
downturn in that region.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased from 33.9% in the prior
year to 34.7% due to higher inventory obsolescence provisions. Operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues declined to 49.5% in the current
quarter compared with 51.9% in the prior year's first quarter, as the rate
of expense growth was contained to 4%.
Interest income increased $.5 million due to higher cash balances. The
effective tax rate of 36% was the same for both years.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which specifies the accounting and
disclosure requirements for such instruments, and is effective for the
Company's fiscal year beginning on May 1, 2000. In the opinion of the
Company's management, it is anticipated that the adoption of this new
accounting standard will not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Company has essentially completed the review of its systems and
products to determine the extent and impact of the year 2000 issues, and
has begun implementing the needed changes. Many of the Company's systems
are new and were designed to accommodate the year 2000 issue when
originally installed. The Company currently anticipates completing
corrective measures to its systems and products by mid-year of calendar
1999. The total cost to remedy the situation is currently estimated to be
approximately $2 million, of which $.6 million has been expended to date.
The Company is in the process of communicating with its customers and
suppliers in an effort to assess how they intend to resolve their year 2000
issues. The Company at this time is not able to form an opinion as to
whether its customers or suppliers will be able to resolve their year 2000
issues in a satisfactory and timely manner, or the magnitude of the adverse
impact it would have on the Company's operations, if they fail to do so.
EURO CONVERSION ISSUES
Effective January 1, 1999, eleven member countries of the European union
are scheduled to establish fixed conversion rates between their existing
legal currencies and the Euro, and to adopt the Euro as their common legal
currency.
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact that the conversion
to the Euro will have on its operations and the modifications that will be
required to its systems. Although it is still in the early stages of
assessment, the Company believes that the Euro conversion should not have a
material effect on its operations.
The anticipated costs and timing of resolving the year 2000 and Euro issues
are based on numerous assumptions and estimates relating to future events
including the continued availability and cost of the personnel required to
modify the systems, the timely resolution of the third party customer and
supplier interface issues, and other similar uncertainties. The Company is
in the process of developing contingency plans in the event remediation
measures will not be completed on a timely basis.

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This report contains certain forward-looking statements concerning the Company's
operations, performance and financial condition. Reliance should not be placed
on forward-looking statements, as actual results may differ materially from
those in any forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are
based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to

renewal rates for the Company's journals; (iii) the consolidation of the retail
book trade market; (iv) the seasonal nature of the Company's educational
business and the impact of the used book market; (v) the ability of the Company
and its customers and suppliers to satisfactorily resolve the year 2000 and Euro
issues in a timely manner; (vi) worldwide economic and political conditions; and
(vii) other factors detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to
update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent
events or circumstances.
