THE AMERICAN EDUCATION CORPORATION
Part I
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002


NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Nature of Business:
    ------------------

The American Education Corporation's ("the Company") business is the
development and marketing of educational software to elementary, middle
and secondary schools, adult literacy centers and vocational, junior and
community colleges.  In addition, the Company has two active subsidiaries,
Learning Pathways, Ltd. ("LPL"), Derby, UK, and Dolphin, Inc. ("Dolphin"),
Gibbsboro, NJ. LPL modifies the Company's U.S. curriculum offering to
conform to the UK's educational system and markets these products directly
to UK and other international markets. Dolphin is a developer of
educational software for many of the nation's leading textbook and
electronic publishers.


2.  Basis of Presentation:
    ---------------------

The summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented
to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements.  These
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles
and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.

The Company's consolidated financial statements include the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.

The interim consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2003, and for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are
unaudited, but include all adjustments that the Company considers
necessary for a fair presentation. The December 31, 2002 balance sheet
was derived from the Company's audited financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements are for the interim
periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual
financial statements.  They should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements included in the Company's Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.  The accompanying unaudited
interim financial statements for the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be
expected for the entire year.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3.   Revenue Recognition:
     -------------------

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountant's Statement of Position 97-2, 98-9 and
modifications thereto on software revenue recognition. Revenue for
software design services at Dolphin is recognized on the percentage-of-
completion method.


4.  Capitalized Software Costs:
    --------------------------

Capitalized software costs consist of licenses for the rights to produce
and market computer software, salaries and other direct costs incurred in
the production of computer software.  Costs incurred in conjunction with
product development are charged to research and development expense until
technological feasibility is established.  Thereafter, all software
development costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis
over the product's estimated economic life of between three and five
years.


5.  Goodwill:
    --------

Goodwill relates to the acquisitions in 1998 of LPL and in 1999 of
Dolphin. Through 2001, goodwill was amortized with a fifteen year life.
Beginning January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized. Impairment
evaluations are made annually and any necessary expense recognized.


6.  Inventories:
    -----------

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out), or
market, and consist of packaging and educational software materials.


7.  Property and Equipment:
    ----------------------

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is
five years.


8.  Statements of Cash Flows:
    ------------------------

In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents
may include currency on hand, demand deposits with banks or other
financial institutions, treasury bills, commercial paper, mutual funds or
other investments with original maturities of three months or less.  The
carrying values of the Company's assets and liabilities approximate fair
value due to their short-term nature.


9.  Income Taxes:
    ------------

The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").
SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
in the financial statements or tax returns, determined by using the
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse.


10.  Computation of Earnings Per Share:
     ---------------------------------

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128 requires presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share are
calculated based only upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share are calculated
based upon the weighted average number of common and, where dilutive,
potential common shares outstanding during the period, utilizing the
treasury stock method.  Potential common shares include options to
purchase common stock.


11.  Stockholders' Equity:
     --------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, directors and distributors were
awarded 52,500 shares of the Company's common stock for services rendered.

At June 30, 2003, paid-in capital includes $7,840 of foreign currency
translation adjustments.


12.  Commitments and Contingencies:
     -----------------------------

The Company amortizes capitalized software costs over the product's
estimated useful life.  Due to inherent technological changes in the
software development industry, the period over which such capitalized
software cost is being amortized may have to be accelerated.



ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
------------------------------------------------------------------

This report contains forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking
statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the
statement will include words such as the Company "believes," "plans,"
"intends," "anticipates," "expects" or words of similar import.
Similarly, statements that describe the Company's future plans,
objectives, estimates or goals are also forward-looking statements.  Such
statements address future events and conditions concerning capital
expenditures, earnings, litigation, liquidity, capital resources and
accounting matters.  Actual results in each case could differ materially
from those currently anticipated in such statements by reason of factors
such as economic conditions, including changes in customer demands; future
legislative, regulatory and competitive developments in markets in which
the Company operates; and other circumstances affecting anticipated
revenues and costs.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

As of June 30, 2003 the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash and cash equivalents of $93,948, net accounts receivable of
$2,844,810 and inventory of $46,689. The Company's net cash provided by
operating activities during the six months ended June 30 was $665,846 in
2003 compared to $854,916 in 2002. Net cash used in investing activities
for the same period decreased by 17.5% from $836,642 in 2002 to $690,054
in 2003, and was comprised primarily of investment in capitalized software
development costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 debt due to
financial institutions was reduced by $256,249, or 21.8%. In April 2003,
the Company borrowed $300,000 from major shareholder affiliates, which is
subordinated to the debt owed the Company's senior lender. The proceeds
from the subordinated debt were used to reduce accounts payable and
accrued liabilities.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had working capital of $357,327 compared to
$(571,256) at December 31, 2002. The majority of the cash for the Dolphin
acquisition in late 1999 was borrowed under a portion of the Company's
lines of credit. The Company has reached an agreement with its lenders to
extend its loans under the credit lines until November 1, 2003 if the
Company attained certain performance criteria, which were met at June 30,
2003. Therefore, all bank debt is classified as current. The Company is
continuing to seek alternative borrowing arrangements with several
financing sources.

With the expansion of the Company's product lines, the addition of new
products and improved coverage of certain markets combined with indicators
signaling regional increases in school spending, management believes that
the Company will return to a pattern of growth similar to that
demonstrated in prior years. Management believes that it can undertake
this expansion with most of the Company's working capital requirements
secured from its operating cash flows.  If successful, the Company should
be able to continue to enhance the liquidity of the business and the
overall strength of the Company's balance sheet and financial position.

Additional working capital beyond that available within the Company has
been and may be required to expand operations.  Management has and will
consider options available in providing such funding, including debt
financing and capital enhancement.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
--------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $2,450,636
compared to $2,714,391 for the same period in 2002.  This represents a
decrease of 9.7% over the comparable 2002 quarter and is attributable to a
combination of an increase in orders at AEC, offset by planned sales
decreases at the LPL and Dolphin subsidiaries.  A decline in the
subsidiaries' revenues is a result of downsizing operations and a
refocusing of these business units to achieve a return to profitable
operations. AEC's revenue increase over the same quarter in 2002 is a
result of certain states that are important to the Company's market
penetration continuing to increase their education spending for the type
of products offered by the Company, after over a year of spending delays
or deferments.

During 2002, it became evident at both LPL and Dolphin that their cost
structures were too high based upon the revenue generated and immediate
prospects for increase in revenues, resulting in losses at both
subsidiaries. At LPL a decision was made to reduce the staff from 24
employees to 7 employees in the last half of 2002.   Due to severance and
benefit rules in the UK, the effects of this reduction, along with the
corresponding reduction in benefits and other associated administrative
costs, did not fully impact LPL until after the beginning of 2003. At
Dolphin, changes in subsidiary management were implemented in the third
quarter of 2002 and personnel levels were reduced from 23 to 13 employees.
Total cost savings realized from these completed actions approximated
$351,000 during the second quarter of 2003 and $557,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2003.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales revenue for the three months
ending June 30, 2003 decreased to 13.8% from 23.3% of net revenues for the
same period in 2002. This major improvement is attributed to a reduction
in cost of goods sold at LPL as a result of lower sales and discontinuance
of the resale of low margin computer hardware and other products.  The
decrease at Dolphin is primarily due to the reduction in personnel costs
noted above and a smaller contribution of Dolphin-related revenues to
consolidated corporate net revenues. The Company's principal product
familes, A+nyWhere Learning System(r) and A+dvanced Learning System(r)
("A+LS"), provided gross profit margins of 97% in the second quarter of
2003.  Cost of goods sold represents the actual cost to produce the
software products and includes certain allocated overhead costs.

Total operating expenses, which include selling and marketing, general and
administrative, operations, and amortization of product development costs,
decreased to $1,572,379 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared
to $1,866,314 for the same 2002 quarter.  As a percentage of sales
revenue, operating expenses decreased from 68.8% in 2002 to 64.2% in 2003.
This decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues is
primarily due to decreases in commissions due on direct sales offset
somewhat by the increase in amortization of product development costs.
During the second quarter of 2003, the Company made substantial progress
in development efforts on revised, updated and expanded curriculum
offerings for its A+nyWhere Learning System product family as well as
continued  investment into A+dvancer(tm), the Company's post-secondary
testing and online curriculum offering that was released late in the
second quarter of 2003.  The increase in amortization expense is a result
of increases in capitalized development costs that are associated with
these essential investments in the Company's future and competitive
position.

As a component of total operating expenses, selling and marketing costs
decreased by 44.6%, from $804,069 for the three months ended June 30,
2002, to $445,665 for the current period.  The decrease in the second
quarter 2003 selling expenses is largely attributable to the decrease in
commissions mentioned above and reductions in personnel at LPL and
Dolphin. General and administrative expenses, including operations,
decreased from $810,082 to $769,116 or by 5.1%. This decrease is primarily
attributable to the decreases in operating costs at LPL and Dolphin
discussed above.

Interest expense was $23,152 for the three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $21,150 for the same 2002 quarter reflecting slightly higher
interest rates in effect during the second quarter of 2003.  Net income
was $270,007 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to
$104,929 for the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of the
decreases in costs discussed above.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003, totaled $4,347,954
compared to $4,660,338 for the same period in 2002.  This represents a
decrease of 6.7% over the comparable 2002 period. This decrease is
attributable to increases in sales at AEC being offset by planned
decreases in sales at LPL and Dolphin as a result of the restructuring
programs discussed in the second quarter analysis above.

The Company has experienced significant growth in its online content
delivery business since the introduction of its client-server online
version of the A+nyWhere Learning System in early 2002 followed
by the Company's browser-based Version 4.0 in the fall of 2002. Orders for
the first half of 2003 have increased by 85% over the last half of 2002.
Generally accepted accounting principles require the revenue to be
deferred and recognized ratably over the period of service, accordingly
this increase will not have a significant affect on the Company's revenues
until 2004.  Late in the second quarter of 2003, the Company released
A+dvancer, an online college diagnostic, prescriptive admissions test and
remedial curriculum offering for reading, writing, mathematics and algebra
that is aligned to the College Board's ACCUPLACER(tm), Online tests.
ACCUPLACER Online tests are widely recognized as the admissions standard for
academically challenged students.  The Company's new A+dvancer products provide
for expanded testing and the online delivery of highly focused remedial
coursework.  The Company believes that this new product offering will continue
to provide additional impetus to the growth of the its online business in
future periods.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales revenue for the six months
ending June 30, 2003 decreased to 15.3% compared to 25.3% for the same
period in 2002. This major improvement is attributed to a reduction in
cost of goods sold at LPL as a result of lower sales and discontinuance of
the resale of low margin computer hardware and other products.  The
decrease at Dolphin is primarily due to the reduction in personnel costs
noted above and a smaller contribution of Dolphin-related revenues to
consolidated corporate net revenues. The Company's principal product
families, A+dvanced Learning System and the A+nyWhere Learning System,
provided gross profit margins of 95% in the first six months of 2003.

Total operating expenses, which include selling and marketing, general and
administrative, operations, and amortization of product development costs,
were $3,136,603 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to
$3,435,739 for the same 2002 fiscal period.  As a percentage of sales
revenue, operating expenses decreased from 73.7% in 2002 to 72.1% in 2003.
This decrease in operating expenses results primarily from decreases in
sales and marketing expense resulting from a reduction in commissions due
on direct sales and the cost reductions at the Company's subsidiaries,
partially offset by the increase in amortization of product development
costs.

General and administrative expenses, including operations, decreased from
$1,514,626 to $1,449,979 or 4.3%.  This improvement is primarily
attributable to decreases in administrative costs at the Company's
subsidiaries.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, decreased from $52,165
in 2002 to $34,194 in 2003 reflecting the reduction in debt levels and
interest rates in 2003 compared to the prior year. There is net income of
$284,219 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to a net loss of
$(18,156) for the same period in 2002 as a result of the decreased
expenses noted above.

Company management continues to believe that significant future growth
opportunities exist in the school, adult literacy, post secondary and the
home or self-directed education markets on a worldwide basis.  These
markets may be accessed by not only the Company's traditional
distribution-based methods of selling and marketing, but also by the
growth and increasing acceptance of electronic learning, or e-learning.
The Company's ongoing investment in content, computer adaptive assessment
tools, programming technology, and server infrastructure should provide a
broad platform to secure new business partners and address the many
opportunities that are believed to be emerging in the educational
technology industry on a global basis.  The Company's investment into the
United Kingdom through its acquisition of Learning Pathways, Ltd. in 1998
underscores management's conviction that the Company is engaged in a
global marketplace.  In this global market, the Company's English-language
content, which is suitable for both the U.S. and the UK's instructional
systems, will meet the requirements for many countries where English-
language instruction is part of the required coursework.  Management
believes that the Company's investment into content, technology and its
online learning business model should provide for expanded growth
opportunities on a worldwide basis in the future.

The Company's future competitive position has been enhanced as a result of
its ongoing investment in personnel, facilities, additional content and
infrastructure as well as its entry into international markets.  The most
significant of these investments has been the sustained spending on the
Company's new Java-based A+nyWhere Learning System, A+ University staff
development product line and A+dvancer, a post-secondary testing and online
curriculum product offering. In its planning of the future, management
believes that the Internet will become a principal method for the future
delivery of its product to its customers.  These investments combine to
form a stronger overall corporate foundation that combined with what
management believes to be a new lower cost structure and the development of
important new partnerships provide a favorable, competitive basis for
sustained, future growth and profitability.
