FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Summary of Accounting Policies Steck-Vaughn Publishing Corporation (the Company) was incorporated on March 10, 1993, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Education Corporation (NEC). Effective April 2, 1993, NEC made a capital contribution of all of the stock of Steck-Vaughn Company (SVC) to the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Steck-Vaughn Company and SV Distribution Company. In August 1993, the Company completed an initial public offering in which 2,668,000 shares were sold for net proceeds of $29,775,000. The shares sold represented 18.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The Company has subsequently repurchased 255,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, increasing NEC's ownership to 83.1% of the common stock of the Company. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's traditional selling cycle, a substantial portion of selling and marketing costs of the Company are deferred in the first half of the year and fully amortized later in the calendar year to properly match the costs with revenues. Effective January 1, 1995, the Company changed its method of valuing inventories to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Financial statements of all prior years were restated to apply the FIFO method retroactively. Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted AICPA Statement of Position 93-7 (SOP 93-7), "Reporting on Advertising Costs". In accordance with the statement, the Company records as advertising expense the production and distribution costs of all advertising except the catalog costs of SV Distribution Company as such advertising is distributed or placed. The catalogs of SV Distribution Company are treated as direct response advertising, with the cost of the catalogs charged to expense in accordance with historical response rates. The Company is a member of an affiliated group of companies that joins in filing consolidated tax returns. The tax provision is calculated under the terms of a tax sharing agreement entered into between the Company and NEC. Under the agreement, the provision for income taxes generally is determined on a separate company basis, subject to certain adjustments. Benefits for credits and other tax attributes are recognized by the Company when recognizable on an NEC consolidated reporting basis. Income tax expense represents amounts payable to or receivable from NEC determined in accordance with the tax sharing agreement. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. 5 6 STECK-VAUGHN PUBLISHING CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PART I.

At closing, the purchase price was funded by cash on hand and advances totaling $9,000,000 under the revolving bank credit agreement. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 1996 the purchase price will be allocated to assets and liabilities, including in-process research and development projects, based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The estimated value of the in-process research and development projects will then be written off in the second quarter of 1996 as required by generally accepted accounting principles. 6 7 STECK-VAUGHN PUBLISHING CORPORATION PART I.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET REVENUES REVENUES BY PRODUCT LINE Three Months Ended March 31, (amounts in thousands) 1996 1995 ------------------------ Steck-Vaughn Elementary and High School (El/Hi) $ 7,152 $ 5,820 Adult Education 2,821 2,865 Library 3,719 2,462 ------------------------ 13,692 11,147 Summit Learning 1,769 - ------------------------ TOTAL $ 15,461 $ 11,147 ======================== Revenues increased 38.7% over the same quarter of the previous year, as the Company continued to garner strength from the Elementary and Library markets, while adding the Summit Learning catalog business to reach individual decision makers within school buildings. El/Hi sales for the first quarter increased 22.9% over last year. As in the fourth quarter, El/Hi sales were primarily supported by robust sales in the Company's traditional skills products for the Elementary Market in reading, spelling, and math. Testing and assessment products continued to sell well. The strength of both of these types of products is indicative of the return of schools to teaching basic skills using traditional approaches and the increased use of standardized tests as a means of assessing students' progress and measuring the success of individual schools. Sales of Adult Education products were relatively flat compared to last year's first quarter, as the limited availability of federal funds continued to hamper sales. In Fall 1995, the Company released a revision to its GED test preparation course and acquired the product line of Educational Development Laboratories, Inc. (EDL), to strengthen its product offerings in adult basic skills. Although the lack of funding has limited overall growth in the segment, both of these enhancements to the product line have performed well. Library sales were up 51.1% for the first quarter compared to the first quarter of 1995. Much of the sales growth flowed from the Company's exclusive distribution agreements with Wayland Publishers, Abdo & Daughters, and Larousse Kingfisher Chambers, Inc. The agreement with Wayland became effective January 1, 1996, and was rapidly assimilated into the Company's product line, performing beyond expectations in the first three months of the contract. In addition, Library sales were boosted by the release of the revised 53-volume Portrait of America series. Revenues were also augmented by general price increases of 10.1% and 5.7% effective September 1, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Summit Learning sales of $1,769,000 were incremental to the Company, following the acquisition of Summit in December 1995. The Company has added selected Steck-Vaughn print products to the Summit catalogs and is developing a new line of print products for the home and teacher market channels. 8 9 STECK-VAUGHN PUBLISHING CORPORATION PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS PRODUCT COST AND FULFILLMENT EXPENSE Product cost and fulfillment expense as a percentage of revenues increased for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 1995, primarily due to the inclusion of the Summit Learning business for the first time. Product cost and fulfillment for the Company's publishing operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996, represented 29.4% of publishing revenues as compared to 30.1% for the same period in the previous year. Increases in the cost of print products resulted from the increase in products acquired through distribution agreements as opposed to internal development, the increased use of wholesalers to sell library titles, and the full absorption of paper price increases incurred during the past eighteen months. These cost increases were offset by the increased sales of testing products, which carry higher gross margins, and the decline in royalty expense due to the increase in products acquired through distribution agreements. Summit Learning's product and fulfillment costs, at 63.0% of revenues, reflect the non-proprietary nature of the product line. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE The following table reconciles product development investment to product development expense for each of the periods indicated: Three Months Ended March 31, Percentage (amounts in thousands) 1996 1995 Change ----------------------------------- Product development investment $ 2,887 $ 1,904 51.6% Plant costs capitalized (1,197) (565) 111.9 Plant costs amortized 976 967 0.9 --------------------- Product development expense $ 2,666 $ 2,306 15.6 ===================== Product development investment for the three months ended March 31, 1996, increased more than 50% as compared to the prior year. Higher product development cost in the first quarter is primarily attributable to the timing of expenditures, as more of the emphasis in the current year is on product to be released in Fall 1996 as compared to last year when three major revisions were being developed throughout the year for release in the following year. Departmental expenses are higher with the addition of the EDL development office in South Carolina, the expansion of the library development office in New Jersey to accommodate growth in the segment, and full staffing in the Austin office as more of the design work is being done internally. 9 10 STECK-VAUGHN PUBLISHING CORPORATION PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSE The following table reconciles selling and marketing costs to selling and marketing expense for each of the periods indicated: Three Months Ended March 31, Percentage (amounts in thousands) 1996 1995 Change ----------------------------------- Selling and marketing costs $ 6,661 $ 5,151 29.3% Selling and marketing deferred (1,672) (1,731) 3.4 ---------------------- Net selling and marketing expense $ 4,989 $ 3,420 45.9 ====================== Selling and marketing costs increased for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the prior year, due to higher commissions which resulted from increased revenues and higher catalog expense due in part to the acceleration of the recognition of catalog expenses in accordance with the Company's adoption of the new accounting standard, SOP 93-7. Sales and marketing costs also increased as the Company circulated two new smaller catalogs targeted to specified audiences during the first quarter. In addition, $716,000 of the total costs represents catalog expense recognized by Summit Learning. OPERATING INCOME BY PRODUCT LINE Three Months Ended Percentage of March 31, Revenue (amount in thousands) 1996 1995 1996 1995 ------------------ ------------------- Steck-Vaughn $ 1,251 $ 646 9.1% 5.8% Summit Learning (216) - (12.2) - ------------------ Total $ 1,035 $ 646 6.7 5.8 ================== Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 1995, increased for Steck-Vaughn Company primarily due to the increase in sales. For the first quarter, Summit Learning reported an operating loss reflecting the seasonally lower sales in the first quarter, the high investment in catalogs, and $65,000 in amortization of acquisition expenditures. AMORTIZATION OF ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS Amortization expense increased due to the acquisitions of substantially all of the assets of Educational Development Laboratories, Inc., in October 1995 and Summit Learning, Inc., in December 1995. INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE Interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, was higher than the previous year, reflecting the commitment fee and interest earned of $207,000 and $75,000 for the three-month periods ending March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, on the Company's line of credit agreement with NEC. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was higher than the prior year due to the debt incurred in the acquisition of EDL. 10 11 STECK-VAUGHN PUBLISHING CORPORATION PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash, marketable securities, and cash provided from operations. At March 31, 1996, the Company had $9,507,000 in cash and marketable securities. The Company's uses of cash include product development, capital expenditures, repurchase of the Company's common stock in the marketplace, working capital requirements of the Company, and selected acquisitions of complementary businesses and product lines. The Company maintains a revolving bank credit agreement, the amount of which was increased to $15,000,000 and the maturity date of which was extended to June 10, 1998 during the first quarter of 1996. The agreement provides for borrowings at prime or, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 1.5 percent. The bank credit agreement replaced the Company's borrowing ability from NEC pursuant to an intercompany agreement. At March 31, 1996, no amounts were outstanding under the bank credit facility. On April 30, 1996, the Company acquired all of the stock of Edunetics, Ltd., an Israeli corporation engaged in the development of educational software, for cash consideration of $12,000,000. At closing, the purchase price was funded by cash on hand and advances totaling $9,000,000 under the revolving bank credit agreement. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 1996 the purchase price will be allocated to assets and liabilities, including in-process research and development projects, based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The estimated value of the in-process research and development projects will then be written off in the second quarter of 1996 as required by generally accepted accounting principles. In conjunction with the acquisition of EDL, the Company issued a note to the seller of $1,876,000 with interest at 6% payable quarterly and principal due on February 29, 1997. During March 1996, the valuation of certain assets acquired from EDL were adjusted, increasing the note balance to $1,900,000. Under the intercompany agreement between the Company and NEC, NEC has the ability to borrow up to $10,000,000 from the Company. Effective February 28, 1995, the Company and NEC entered into a revolving loan agreement which provides that any borrowing by NEC will bear interest at LIBOR plus 2% and will be secured by NEC's holdings of the Company's stock. During the first quarter of 1996, the credit facility was reduced to $5,000,000 while the maturity date of the loan agreement was extended to June 30, 1996. At March 31, 1996, $3,000,000 was outstanding under the NEC credit facility. Net cash outflow for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996, of $2,424,000 was $2,770,000 lower than the prior year period. The decrease reflects the additional unamortized catalog expense arising from the inclusion of Summit Learning's operations, the payment during the quarter of settlement costs and legal expenses associated with the lawsuit recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995, and the decrease in the net intercompany payable with NEC. In May 1994, the Company announced a program to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 1996, 255,000 shares had been repurchased for an aggregate amount of $1,833,000, increasing NEC's ownership to 83.1% of the common stock of the Company. The Company repurchased no stock during the first quarter of 1996. The Company expects that cash, cash provided from operations, and the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to provide for planned working capital requirements, debt service, and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. 11 12 STECK-VAUGHN PUBLISHING CORPORATION PART II.
