1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

NATURE OF BUSINESS:

TRO Learning, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) develop and market
microcomputer-based, interactive, self-paced instructional systems. The Company
markets such systems primarily to educational institutions and private industry.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these
quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997.

The financial information furnished reflects, in the opinion of the Company, all
adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented. Because of cyclical and other
factors, the results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Revenue from the sale of education and training courseware licenses, computer
hardware, and related support services, is recognized when courseware, hardware,
and related services are delivered. Upon delivery, future service costs, if any,
are accrued. Future service costs represent the Company's problem resolution and
support "hotline" service for a one year period. Deferred revenue represents the
portion of billings made or payments received in advance of services being
performed or products being delivered.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, ENHANCEMENT, AND MAINTENANCE COSTS:

The Company develops education and training products, referred to hereafter as
courseware products. Costs incurred in the development of the Company's current
generation courseware products and related enhancements and routine maintenance
thereof are expensed as incurred. All costs incurred by the Company in
establishing the technical feasibility of new courseware products to be sold,
leased, or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred. Once technical

feasibility has been established, costs incurred in the development of new
generation courseware products are capitalized.

Amortization is provided over the estimated useful life of the new courseware
products, generally three years, using the straight-line method. Amortization
begins when the product is available for general release to customers.
Unamortized capitalized costs determined to be in excess of the net realizable
value of the product are expensed at the date of such determination.

EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 128 (SFAS
128), "Earnings Per Share", as required, effective November 1, 1997. SFAS 128
requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share, including a
restatement of all prior periods presented. Basic earnings per share is
calculated based only upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based
upon the weighted average number of common and, where dilutive, potential common
shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares include options,
warrants and convertible securities. Since the Company incurred a net loss for
all periods presented, potential common shares are antidilutive and excluded
from the calculation, and basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

RECLASSIFICATIONS:

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.

2.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

Accounts receivable include net installment receivables of $8,876,000 and
$6,264,000 at July 31, 1998 and October 31, 1997, respectively. Installment
receivables with terms greater than one year were $352,000 and $565,000 at July
31, 1998 and October 31,1997, respectively, and are included in other assets on
the consolidated balance sheets.

3.   DEBT:

The Company's revolving loan agreement as amended provides for a maximum $18
million line of credit and $3 million term loan through February 28, 1999.
Effective April 16, 1998, the agreement also provides for additional line of
credit borrowings up to a maximum $4,500,000 (increased from $3,500,000) from
time to time during certain periods of the remaining term of the agreement.
Borrowings under the line bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%. The term
loan has an annual interest rate of 15%. Effective August 20, 1998, the term
loan is subject to a mandatory prepayment of $1,000,000 on or before November
30, 1998. At July 31, 1998, borrowings of $11,879,000 under the line were
outstanding at an interest rate of 10% and the term loan balance was $2,600,000.

The Company is currently reviewing alternatives to meet its short and long term
financing requirements.

4.   INCOME TAXES:

In line with the Company's decision to fully reserve its deferred tax asset at
the end of fiscal 1997, no tax benefit has been recorded at July 31, 1998 for
the current year to date loss.

5.   NONCASH FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

Pursuant to the Company's various stock incentive and stock option plans,
participants may elect to exercise stock options through a noncash transaction.
Upon exercise, the Company immediately repurchases shares, at the current market
price, equal to the participants aggregate exercise price and tax liability. The
acquired shares are recorded as treasury stock at cost.

During the nine months ended July 31, 1998 the Company acquired 75,000 shares
totaling $707,000 through noncash exercise transactions. During the nine months
ended July 31, 1997, the Company acquired 21,000 shares totaling $261,000
through noncash exercise transactions.

REVENUES:

Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 of $12,065,000 increased 6%
or $722,000 as compared to $11,343,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The

PLATO Education revenues were comparable to the prior year. Increased courseware
license and support revenues of $789,000 were offset by decreased hardware and
third party courseware revenues of $862,000.

Aviation Training revenues increased $795,000 or 119% due to increased
courseware revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

GROSS PROFIT:

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $1,068,000 or 11% to
$10,650,000 as compared to $9,582,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The
Company's gross margin was 88% for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared
to 84% for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. Increased courseware revenues
contributed to the increase in gross profit and gross margin for the third
quarter of fiscal 1998.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE:

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the third quarter of fiscal
1998 decreased $1,878,000 or 22% to $6,699,000 as compared to $8,577,000 for the
third quarter of fiscal 1997. This decrease was principally due to the reduction
in PLATO Education selling expenses of $1,018,000, resulting primarily from the
restructuring of operations initiated in late fiscal 1997, and the decrease in
the provision for doubtful accounts of $624,000.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT:

Product development and customer support expense for the third quarter of 
fiscal 1998 decreased $385,000 or 17% to $1,900,000 as compared to $2,285,000 
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. PLATO Education product development 
expense decreased $275,000 due primarily to reduced spending and increased 
capitalization of costs as compared to the same period of the prior year.

OPERATING INCOME (LOSS):

Operating income was $2,051,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 as 
compared to an operating loss of $1,280,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 
1997. The improvement in operating results is due principally to the 
increased mix of courseware revenues and the positive impact of the 
restructuring of operations initiated in late fiscal 1997.

INCOME TAXES:

In line with the Company's decision to fully reserve its deferred tax asset 
at the end of fiscal 1997, no income taxes have been recorded in fiscal 1998.

PLATO Education revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 increased 
$3,872,000 or 18% as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1997. This 
increase was due primarily to the growth in courseware license and support 
revenues, slightly offset by decreased hardware and third party courseware 
revenues.

Aviation Training revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 increased 
$979,000 or 34% over the first nine months of fiscal 1997 primarily due to 
increased courseware revenues.

GROSS PROFIT:

Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 increased $4,391,000 or 
22% to $24,529,000 as compared to $20,138,000 for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1997. This increase was due principally to the growth in courseware 
revenues. The Company's gross margin was 85% for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1998 compared to 84% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE:

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1998 decreased $3,367,000 or 15% to $19,059,000 as compared to 
$22,426,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. This decrease was 
principally due to the reduction in PLATO Education selling expenses of 
$2,387,000, resulting primarily from the restructuring of operations 
initiated in late fiscal 1997, and the decrease in the provision for doubtful 
accounts of $1,151,000, offset by increased PLATO Education commissions of 
$601,000 resulting from the growth in revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT:

Product development and customer support expense for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1998 was comparable to the first nine months of fiscal 1997. Increased 
Aviation Training product development expense of $306,000 was offset by a 
decrease in PLATO Education product development expense of $231,000.

OPERATING LOSS:

The operating loss was $264,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 as 
compared to $8,046,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The 
improvement in operating results is due principally to the increase in 
courseware revenues and the positive impact of the restructuring of 
operations initiated in late fiscal 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was $1,369,000 as 
compared to $984,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. Interest 
expense increased due principally to the Company's long term debt incurred in 
the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

INCOME TAXES:

In line with the Company's decision to fully reserve its deferred tax asset 
at the end of fiscal 1997, no income taxes have been recorded in fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July 31, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included 
cash and cash equivalents of $880,000, net accounts receivable of 
$18,081,000, and its line of credit which expires February 28, 1999 unless 
extended, renegotiated or replaced. The Company has net installment 
receivables of $9,228,000 at July 31, 1998, of which $8,876,000 are due 
within one year and are included in net accounts receivable.

Net cash used in the Company's operating activities was $1,670,000 in the 
first nine months of fiscal 1998 as compared to $5,517,000 in the first nine 
months of fiscal 1997. Cash flows from operations were used principally to 
fund the Company's working capital requirements. In addition to cash flows 
from operations, the Company has resources available under its revolving loan 
agreement (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). At July 
31, 1998, borrowings of $11,879,000 were outstanding under the line of credit 
at an interest rate of 10%.

Net cash used in investing activities was $536,000 in the first nine months 
of fiscal 1998 for capital expenditures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 
1998 was $2,681,000 which primarily represents borrowings under the Company's 
line of credit offset by principal payments on the term loan (see Note 3 of 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

In November 1997, the Company announced that it had retained BancAmerica 
ROBERTSON STEPHENS to advise it regarding strategic alternatives to enhance 
shareholder value. The Company is currently reviewing financing alternatives 
to meet its short and long term working capital, capital expenditure, and 
business investment requirements.

In September 1998, the Company announced the sale of its Aviation Training 
business.

YEAR 2000

The Company has taken action to understand the nature and extent of the work 
required to make its systems and infrastructure Year 2000 compliant. In 
addition, the Company is communicating with its major suppliers and service 
providers to determine whether they are actively involved in projects to 
ensure that their products and business systems will be Year 2000 compliant. 
The Company anticipates that its Year 2000 issues will be addressed on a 
timely basis and at a cost that will not be material to the Company's 
operations or financial condition.
