(1)     Represents 125,000 additional shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of
        LearningStar Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") reserved for
        issuance under the Second Amended and Restated 2001 Employee Stock
        Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), by virtue of an amendment to the Plan that,
        among other things, increased the number of shares issuable under the
        Plan from 125,000 to 250,000. This registration statement shall also
        cover any additional shares of Common Stock which may become issuable
        under the Plan by reason of any stock split, stock dividend,
        recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the
        receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of
        outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 416
        under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration
        Statement also covers an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock
        which may be issued as a result of anti-dilution provisions contained in
        the Plan.

(2)     Estimated solely for purposes of computing the registration fee for the
        additional shares registered hereby pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1) of the
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the average of the high and
        low sales prices of the Company's Common Stock of $1.29 per share as
        reported on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market on December 17, 2001.
