Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and operating results for the interim periods. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.
None of the Company's business is subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Revenues: Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was
$11,233,678, an increase of $2,953,661 or 30% compared to the same period in 2000
of $8,640,017. The combination of the increase in advance training courses held
and the higher registrations and revenue contributed to the increase above.
Advertising and Sales Expense: Advertising and sales expense, of which
advertising represents approximately 60% of the expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2001, was $2,847,130, a decrease of $1,658,880 or 36.8% compared
to the same period in 2000. The decrease in Advertising and Sales expense is due
to discontinuing TV advertising for the Internet division, more effective use of
media buying and more effective marketing programs hitting the market in the
first quarter.
General and Administrative expenses increased to $1,935,496, an increase of
$582,331, or 43% over the comparable period in 2000 of $1,353,496. This increase
is due primarily to increased personnel hired to handle the increase in the
Company's volume.
Cost of Sales increased proportionately in comparison with the increase in sales
for the first quarter of 2001 to $4,444,735 an increase of $959,076 or 27.5% over
the prior comparable period in 2000.
Net Income for the three months ending March 31, 2001 was $1,958,617 as compared
with a net loss of ($704,817) for the three months ending March 31, 2000, an
increase of $2,663,434 or 377.9% or $.26 per share as compared to $(.09) per
share for the prior period. The increase is directly attributable to increased
sales in 2001 over the prior period, higher realization of deferred revenues,
increased production from marketing programs resulting in a larger gross profit
and a disproportionate reduction in advertising expenses.
Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was $2,018,601 and ($739,817),
respectively. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes,
interest and other income and expense, net, plus depreciation and amortization.
Net income per share was $.26 for the three months ending March 31, 2001 as
compared to a net loss ($.09) per share for the prior year period ending March
31, 2000.
More than 25,000 new students register for one or more of the Company's programs
each month. Management believes the Company's success can also be attributed to
the fact that a large percentage of its gross annual revenue can be attributed
to repeat business, a factor that also indicates students find its training is
effective.
The Internet division, although small as compared to the Company as a whole,
continued to be in a loss position. The Company discontinued its TV and
marketing programs for this division and has embarked on a new method of
marketing the division. The Company expects the Internet division to become a
mainstay division promoting the Company and its products. We will be test
marketing training and product sales on the Internet in the last half of 2001.
Management believes that the division will to be profitable by the end of the
year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's capital requirements consist primarily of working capital, capital
expenditures and acquisitions. Historically, the Company has funded its working
capital and capital expenditures using cash and cash equivalents on hand. Cash
increased by $1,542,889 to $4,859,794, an increase of 47% over the previous
comparable period in 2000.
The Company's cash provided by operating activities was $1.45 million and $1.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In the
first quarter 2001, cash flows from advanced training programs were positively
impacted by the increased collection efforts by the sales associates accompanying
the instructors and trainers at the training locations.
The Company's cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $94,960 and
$(219,971) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
Company's investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
were primarily attributable to the purchase of office property and equipment and
related party transactions described in the accompanying financial statements.
