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

Certain statements contained in this Management Discussion and Analysis are not
based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements that are based
upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may ultimately prove to
be inaccurate.  Actual events and results may materially differ from anticipated
results described in such statements.  The Company's ability to achieve such
results is subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  Such risks and
uncertainties include but are not limited to, product prices, continued
availability of capital and financing, and other factors affecting the Company's
business that may be beyond its control.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------

The financial condition of the Company remains strong.   Working capital
increased 14.9% at August 31, 1997 to $8,515,600 when compared with working
capital of $7,410,000 at year-end February 28, 1997.  Inventory levels increased
slightly as the Company continued to evaluate and improve its purchasing
procedures in order to supply adequate inventory to meet projected sales levels.
Accounts payable decreased 8.5% at August 31, 1997 over year-end February 28,
1997, the result of smaller purchases of inventory in the current period and the
payments for inventory received in prior periods.

Pre-tax margins were 16.0% for both the quarter and six months ended August 31,
1997 versus 11.9% for the three months ended August 31, 1996 and 10.2% for the
six months ended August 31, 1996.  The Company attributes this improvement in
its pre-tax margin to the changes made to the Home Business Division's Marketing
Plan.  These changes, which primarily involved the override percentages for
sales commissions, were first implemented October 1, 1996 with further changes
June 1, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Revenues - Net sales from the Home Business Division were $5,026,800 for the six
--------                                                                        
months ended August 31, 1997, a decrease of 17.5% when compared with the net
sales of  $6,093,100 for the six months ended August 31, 1996.  Net sales for
the three months ended August 31, 1997 were $2,505,900 versus $2,734,000 for the
same three month period the previous year, a decrease of 8.3%. As discussed in
the first quarter's Form 10-Q, the Company believes the decrease in net sales is
the direct result of changes implemented by the Company last year in the
commission override structure.  The Company  re-evaluated the commission
override structure for the Home Business Division and on June 1, 1997
implemented several  improvements by increasing commission override percentages.
In addition, several new incentive programs were added.  The results have been
positive as indicated by the improvement in sales from the first to the second
quarter.  Net sales for the month of August 1997 were up 30% over net sales of
August 1996. Management believes that the decline in the Home Business
Division's net sales has been halted and anticipates increased sales in future
quarters.  Effective July 1, 1996, the Company transferred responsibility of
sales to schools and libraries from the Library Division to the Home Business
Division.  Net sales from the Library Division were $407,600 for the six months
ended August 31, 1996 and $88,300 for the three months ended August 31, 1996.

Net sales from the Publishing Division were $4,900,200 for the six months ended
August 31, 1997, compared with $4,223,800 for the six months ended August 31,
1996, an increase of 16.0%.  Net sales for the three months ended August 31,
1997 were $2,760,700, an increase of 24.8% over the August 31, 1996 net sales of
$2,212,000.  The Company believes this increase resulted from increased market
penetration as the Company's products become more well known in the marketplace.
The Division attends several national trade shows each year to present the
Company's products to a wide variety of consumers.  The Company also has an
aggressive internal telephone sales force which helped generate the increase in
net sales.  Management believes that it has a superior product line and is
optimistic that the Publishing Division can maintain its market share in the
highly competitive publishing market.

Operating Expenses - The Company's cost of sales was $4,110,900 for the six
------------------                                                         
months ended August 31, 1997 and $4,383,800 for the six months ended August 31,
1996, a decrease of 6.2%.  Cost of sales expressed as a percentage of gross
sales was 26.1% for the six months ended August 31, 1997 versus 27.6% for the
same period a year ago.  Cost of sales for the three months ended August 31,
1997 and 1996 were $2,245,000 and $2,070,500, respectively, an increase of 8.4%.
Cost of sales as a percentage of gross sales was 26.0% for the three months
ended August 31, 1997 and 27.0% for the three months ended August 31, 1996.
Cost of sales as a percentage of gross sales will fluctuate depending upon the
product mix sold.

Operating and selling expenses declined 16.7% to $1,683,000 for the six months
ended August 31, 1997 versus $2,019,400 for the same six month period a year
ago. For the three months ended August 31, 1997, operating and selling expenses
were $840,000, a decrease of 5.9% from $892,500 for the three month period ended
August 31, 1996. Operating and selling expenses as a percentage of gross sales
were 9.7% and 10.7% for the three months and six months ended August 31, 1997
compared with 11.6% and 12.7% for the same two periods a year ago. Contributing
to the decrease in operating and selling expenses were reduced travel contest
expenses and reduced sales incentives in the Home Business Division. Also
contributing to the decrease was a reduction in credit card fees, the direct
result of lower sales in the Home Business Division.

Sales commissions were $1,755,800 for the six months ended August 31, 1997
versus $2,403,600 for the six months ended August 31, 1996, a decrease of 27.0%.
As a percentage of gross sales, sales commissions were 11.2% and 15.1% for the
six months ended August 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.  Sales commissions for
the three months ended August 31, 1997 were $930,600 compared with $1,058,800
for the three months ended August 31, 1996, a decrease of 12.1%.  Sales
commissions as a percentage of gross sales was 10.8% for the three months ended
August 31, 1997 compared with 13.8% for the same quarter last year.  Sales
commissions will vary with the product being sold and the Division making the
sale.  The Home Business Division and the Publishing Division have different and
separate commission programs.  The revisions in the Home Business Division's
commission program contributed to the decrease in sales commissions for both the
three months and six months ended August 31, 1997.

General and administrative expenses increased 23.4% to $740,500 for the six
months ended August 31, 1997 when compared with $599,900 for the six months
ended August 31, 1996.  General and administrative expenses  as a percentage of
gross sales were 4.7% for the six months ended August 31, 1997 versus 3.8% for
the same six month period a year ago.  For the quarter ended August 31, 1997
general and administrative expenses were $379,400, an increase of 21.2% over the
$313,000 for the same quarter last year. Expressed as a percentage of gross
sales, general and administrative expenses for the quarters ended August 31,
1997 and 1996 were 4.4% and 4.1% respectively.  The addition of corporate staff
contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense declined 54.2% to $103,500 for the six months ended August 31,
1997 versus $225,900 for the six months ended August 31, 1996.  Interest expense
for the quarter ended August 31, 1997 was $53,700, a decrease of 47.1% from the
$101,600 for the quarter ended August 31, 1996.  The average borrowing under the
bank loan declined from $5.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 1996 to
$2.3 million for the six months ended August 31, 1997, resulting in the
decreased interest expense.  This reduction in bank borrowings can be attributed
to the continuing efforts of the Company to manage its inventory levels through
improved efficiencies in purchasing policies.
