                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending
December 31, 1995.

The second quarter reporting period for 1995 ended on July 1, 1995 and the
second quarter reporting period for 1994 ended on July 2, 1994. For clarity of
presentation and comparison, the periods from January 1, 1995 to July 1, 1995
and from January 1, 1994 to July 2, 1994 are referred to as the "Six Months
Ended June 30, 1995" and "Six Months Ended June 30, 1994" respectively,
throughout these financial statements.

2.  GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair market value of
identifiable assets acquired. The Company evaluates the carrying value of
goodwill for possible impairment on a quarterly basis. Based upon its most
recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of goodwill exists at
June 30, 1995.

5.  COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and
dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive
common stock equivalent shares consist of convertible debentures and notes,
convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock in the Second Quarter 1994 and
stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method in both reporting
periods. The computations do not include common stock equivalents where the
effect would not be dilutive. Primary earnings per share computations do not
materially differ from fully diluted earnings per share.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Competition Act Inquiry (Canada)

On June 10, 1994, the Director of Investigation and Research under the
Competition Act (Canada) (the "Act") commenced an inquiry in Canada under the
non-criminal, reviewable practices provisions of the Act with respect to the
activities of SoftKey Software Products Inc. ("SoftKey Software") in the tax
preparation software business in Canada. On June 28, 1994, a court order
requiring SoftKey Software, along with other companies in the Canadian tax
preparation software business, to produce certain documents and information with
respect to the Canadian tax preparation software industry was issued by the
Federal Court of Canada Trial Division. SoftKey Software has had discussions
with the staff of the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy and is currently
cooperating to provide the documents and information specified in the order. At
this time no formal application has been made seeking remedy under the Act.
Management does not currently expect that the outcome of this inquiry will have
a material adverse effect on the Company.

Other Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings involving copyrights,
breach of contract and various other claims incident to the conduct of its
business. Management does not expect the Company to suffer any material
liability by reason of such actions.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Agreement to acquire of Future Vision Holding, Inc.

On July 17, 1995, the Company announced it had signed a definitive acquisition
agreement to acquire all the outstanding capital stock of Future Vision Holding,
Inc., a multimedia software company, in exchange for the issuance of up to

2,925,000 publicly traded warrants for $.10 per warrant on August 31, 1995 in

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. All
dollar amounts presented in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented in thousands, except
per share amounts.

INTRODUCTION

SoftKey International Inc. (the "Company") is a leading developer and publisher
of value-priced, high quality consumer software for PC's, primarily produced on
CD-ROM. The Company develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets a
wide range of consumer titles in the lifestyle, edutainment, productivity,
entertainment and education categories. In addition, the Company develops,
markets and distributes income tax software and provides comprehensive
nationwide tax processing for personal, corporate and trust tax returns in
Canada.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    NET INCOME.  The Company generated net income of $7,954 ($0.35 per fully
diluted share) on revenues of $33,717 in Second Quarter 1995 and net income of
$17,973 ($0.79 per fully diluted share) on revenues of $74,721 in the Six Months
Ended June 30, 1995 as compared to net income of $3,954 ($0.21 per fully diluted
share) on revenues of $26,786 in Second Quarter 1994 and net income of $10,245
($0.53 per fully diluted share) on revenues of $62,090 in the Six Months Ended
June 30, 1994. The increase in both the Second Quarter 1995 as compared to the
Second Quarter 1994 and in the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 is a result of several factors, including
increases in revenues and gross margins, reductions in certain operating
expenses as a percentage of revenue and the introduction of new product
offerings.

    REVENUES.  Revenues by distribution channel for the Second Quarter 1995 as
compared to the Second Quarter 1994 and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
as compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 are as follows:

Total revenues increased 26% in Second Quarter 1995 over Second Quarter 1994 and
20% for the Six Month Ended June 30, 1995 over the Six Months Ended June 30,
1994, in both cases due to several factors including growth in the retail
channel resulted from new product offerings and from an increased number of
retail distribution outlets carrying the Company's products; international sales
increased primarily as a result of the availability of additional translated
foreign language versions of English language products and the continued shift
to Windows-based applications on CD-ROM; tax software sales and services
experienced lower revenue in Canadian dollar terms due to increased competition
in the Canadian computerized tax preparation market; original equipment
manufacturer ("OEM") revenues declined due to continuing pricing pressures and
from a decrease in the percentage of the Company's products being distributed in
this channel; direct mail revenues increased as a result of an increase in the
frequency of product mailings and growth in the number of registered product end
users. Revenues for Second Quarter 1994 and for the Six Months Ended June 30,
1994 include $285 and $3,176, respectively, of revenues from 


                                       8

the Company's Power Up catalog operation, which was closed in 1994. Revenues
from the Second Quarter 1994 and from the Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 also
include $1,348 and $3,169, respectively, of revenues from the Company's
subsidiary, Lansa USA, Inc. ("Lansa"), which was sold by the Company on
September 30, 1994.

    COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues includes the cost of manuals, packaging,
diskettes, duplication, assembly and fulfillment charges. In addition, cost of
revenues includes royalties paid to third-party developers, inventory
obsolescence reserves and amortization of capitalized software development
costs. Gross margins for both the Second Quarter 1995 and for the Six Months
Ended June 30, 1995 increased to 70% as compared to 65% for Second Quarter 1994
and the Six Months Ended June 30, 1994, respectively. The improvement in both
periods is due primarily to the higher percentage of CD-ROM based sales and
direct mail sales. Cost of revenues were also lower on a percentage basis in
both periods due to the closing of the Power Up catalog operation and the sale
of the Lansa operation, each of which generated lower gross margins than the
Company's current operations.

    OPERATING EXPENSES. The Company's operating expenses and the respective
percentages of revenues for Second Quarter 1995 as compared to Second Quarter
1994 and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the Six Months
Ended June 30, 1994 are as follows:

Total operating expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues to 42% and 41% in
Second Quarter 1995 and in the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995, respectively,
compared with 48% and 44% in Second Quarter 1994 and in the Six Months Ended
June 30, 1994, respectively. The decrease in both periods is primarily the
result of reductions in operating infrastructure since the Three-Party
Combination, closures of the Power Up catalog operations and the sale of Lansa.

Sales, marketing and support expenses decreased to 20% of revenues in Second
Quarter 1995 compared to 24% of revenues in Second Quarter 1994. The decrease in
these expenses as a percentage of revenues is attributable primarily to the
overall revenue growth of the Company.

General and administrative expenses decreased to 15% and 14% of revenues in
Second Quarter 1995 and in the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 1995,
respectively, compared to 19% and 18% of revenues in Second Quarter 1994 and in
the Six Month Period ended June 30, 1994, respectively. The decrease in both
periods is principally attributable to a reduction in the number of employees as
a result of closure of the Power Up catalog operation and facilities in Barbados
and Marina del Rey, California and the sale of Lansa.

Research and development costs increased to 7% and 6% of revenues in Second
Quarter 1995 and in the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 1995, respectively,
compared to 5% of revenues in both the Second Quarter 1994 and in the Six Month
Period ended June 30, 1994. The increase in both periods is primarily the result
of a number of new product offerings which have been developed and introduced to
the market in 1995 as compared to 1994 including development of Windows95
platform based software titles.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $12,205 at December 31, 1994 to $93,398
at June 30, 1995. This increase is attributed primarily to the issuance of
2,713,106 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering which
generated net proceeds of $74,434 to the Company, cash generated from operations
and cash received from the exercise of employee stock options.

On September 30, 1994, SoftKey Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
amended its revolving line of credit (the "Line"), as amended on May 17, 1995,
to provide for a maximum availability of $20,000, subject to eligible accounts
receivable limits. Borrowings under the Line become due on July 1, 1997 and bear
interest at the prime rate. The Line is subject to certain financial covenants,
is secured by a general security interest in the assets of SoftKey Inc. and
certain other subsidiaries of the Company and is guaranteed by the Company.
During Second Quarter 1995, the $7,700 outstanding on the Line was repaid.

Income generated by the Company's subsidiaries in certain foreign countries
cannot be repatriated to the Company in the United States without payment of
additional taxes since the Company does not currently receive a U. S. tax credit
with respect to income taxes paid by the Company (including its subsidiaries) in
those foreign countries. The Company also conducts its tax software business in
Canada, which has experienced foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation. In
order to mitigate this exposure, the Company has purchased a Cdn $2,000 180 day
foreign exchange option contract expiring July 28, 1995. The Company believes
the existing cash is sufficient to meet its current and planned requirements for
the foreseeable future.

Cash flow from operations on a short-term basis is positively impacted by the
seasonality of the income tax software business in the first two quarters of the
calendar year. At the present time, the Company expects that its cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations for at least
the next twelve months. Longer term cash requirements are dictated by a number
of external factors, which include the Company's ability to launch new and
competitive products, the strength of competition in the consumer software
industry and the growth of the home computer market. The Company is continuously
evaluating products and technologies for acquisitions, however, no estimation of
short-term or long-term cash requirements for such acquisitions can be made at
this time.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The Company's future operating results are subject to a number of uncertainties,
including its ability to develop and introduce new products, the introduction of
competitive products and general economic conditions. In addition, the Company
expects the level of competition in the consumer software industry to become
more intense and that companies with greater access to capital, new products and
retail shelf space may enter its market. The Company may plan to seek
acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies in the future that are
complementary to its current business. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not encounter difficulties in integrating any such business,
product or technology.

The information contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations is provided pursuant to applicable
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to
serve as a basis for projections of future events.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

    On June 10, 1994, the Director of Investigation and Research under the
Competition Act (Canada) (the "Act") commenced an inquiry in Canada under the
non-criminal, reviewable practices provisions of the Act respecting the
activities of SoftKey Software Products Inc. ("SoftKey Software") in the tax
preparation software business in Canada. SoftKey Software is an Ontario
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 28, 1994, a
court order requiring SoftKey Software, along with other companies in the
Canadian tax preparation software business, to produce certain documents and
information respecting the Canadian tax preparation software industry was issued
by the Federal Court of Canada Trial Division. SoftKey Software has had
discussions with the staff of the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy and is
currently cooperating to provide the documents and information specified in the
order. At this time no formal application has been made seeking a remedy under
the Act. Management does not currently expect that the outcome of this inquiry
will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

    The Company is involved in various legal proceedings involving, breach of
contract and various other claims incident to the conduct of its business.
Management does not expect the company to suffer any material liability by
reason of such actions.
