THE AMERICAN EDUCATION CORPORATION
Part I
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000


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 three
subsidiaries, Projected Learning Programs, Inc. ("PLP") , Learning
Pathways, Ltd. ("LPL") and Dolphin, Inc. ("Dolphin").  PLP is a
direct mail catalog reseller of primarily other publishers' products
to high schools and colleges.  LPL is the exclusive schools and
libraries distributor of the print, multimedia and online versions of
the World Book Encyclopedia in Great Britain. 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, 2001, and
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are
unaudited, but include all adjustments that the Company considers
necessary for a fair presentation. The December 31, 2000 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, 2000.  The accompanying
unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six month
periods ending June 30, 2001 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
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 PLP and LPL, and in
1999 for Dolphin, and is amortized over a period of fifteen (15)
years.


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

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out), or
market, and consist primarily of educational software materials,
packing materials and World Book Encyclopedia print and multimedia
products.


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 quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Board of Directors
approved the issuance of 58,500 shares of common stock to officers
and directors in recognition of contributions made to the Company. In
addition, options to purchase 36,000 shares of common stock at $.50
to $.73 were exercised.

At June 30, 2001, paid-in capital includes $38,064 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, 2001 the Company's principal sources of liquidity
included cash and cash equivalents of $515,537, net accounts
receivable of $3,798,363 and inventory of $413,211. The Company's net
cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 was $803,396 and an additional $40,452 was provided
from financing activities, primarily through bank financing of
equipment purchases.  Net cash used in investing activities for the
six months ended June 30 increased by 33% from $820,263 in 2000 to
$1,092,278 in 2001, and was comprised primarily of investment in
capitalized software development costs. The majority of the cash for
the Dolphin acquisition in late 1999 was borrowed under a portion of
the Company's lines of credit, and is recorded as long-term debt as
of June 30, 2001.

At June 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $2,491,685
compared to $2,865,873 at December 31, 2000.   The Company believes
that cash flows from operations will be adequate to finance its
normal financing and investing activities for the remainder of 2001.

Additional working capital beyond that existing within the Company is
available, if required, to expand operations.  Management has and
will consider options available in providing such funding, including
debt financing and capital enhancement.  At June 30, 2001, the
Company had available bank credit lines for working capital totaling
$1,000,000, subject to borrowing base limitations, of  which $365,000
was unused.




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
---------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001, totaled
$3,231,661 compared to $3,475,208 for the same period in 2000, a
decrease of 7.0% over the comparable 2000 quarter.  This decrease is
attributable to net revenue decreases from the prior year's quarter
by the Learning Pathways, Ltd. ("LPL") and Dolphin, Inc. ("Dolphin")
subsidiaries. The  sales decrease at LPL is a result of delays in
planned order receipts because final customer purchase approval has
not yet been obtained. The decrease at Dolphin results from two
customers that curtailed operations or were merged with other companies.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Dolphin was notified of other new
contract awards and other planned awards from its established customers.
The American Education core business unit increased its sales by 10.1%
over the comparable 2000 quarter.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales revenue for the three
months ending June 30, 2001 was relatively unchanged at 16.4% for
2001 compared to 16.7% for the same period in 2000. The Company's
principal product family, A+dvanced Learning System(r) (A+LS), provided
gross profit margins of 96% in the second quarter of 2001.  Cost of
goods sold represents the actual cost to produce the software
products, or in the case of Projected Learning Programs ("PLP") or
LPL, the cost to acquire software from other publishers, and includes
certain allocated overhead costs.

Total operating expenses, which include selling and marketing,
general and administrative, operations, and amortization of product
development costs, were $2,122,869 for the three months ended June
30, 2001, compared to $1,875,593 for the same 2000 quarter.  As a
percentage of sales revenue, operating expenses increased to 65.7% in
2001 compared to 54.0% in 2000. As a component of total operating
expenses, selling and marketing costs increased by 15.5%, from
$847,160 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, to $978,456 for
the current period. This increase is attributable to changes in sales
mix which resulted in increased sales commissions paid as the Company
billed direct several large orders which exceeded distributor
authorized credit limits.

General and administrative expenses, including operations, increased
from $908,556 to $961,441, and as a percentage of net revenues
increased from 26.1% to 29.8% for the quarter. This increase is
primarily attributable to increases in support staff at Learning
Pathways added over the prior year to handle increased net revenues
expected to occur during the remainder of 2001 and in 2002.

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased from
$38,278 in 2000 to $44,499 in 2001 which primarily reflects the cost
of the debt incurred in late 1999 for the acquisition of Dolphin. Net
income for the three months ended June 30, 2001, was $305,073
compared to $627,342 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
51.4%.  This decrease was primarily a result of losses incurred by
the LPL subsidiary and by breakeven operations at the Dolphin
subsidiary. The American Education core business unit's net income
prior to consolidation increased from $464,236 to $478,139 or 3.0%
over the comparable prior year's quarter. Quarterly pretax income was
17% of revenues for the period while net income after tax was 9% of
net revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
-------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001, totaled $5,051,339
compared to $5,999,506 for the same period in 2000.  This represents
a decrease of 15.8% over the comparable 2000 period. This decrease
is primarily a result of the first quarter's performance, from the
previously cited delay of approval of several major orders at LPL and
two of Dolphin's customers closing or merging their publishing units,
canceling what would have been significant revenues for the division.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales revenue for the six
months ending June 30, 2001 increased to 23.7% from 21.7% for the same
period in 2000. This change is primarily attributed to the results of
Dolphin, which  has lower gross margins than the Company's primary
business. The Company's principal product families, A+dvanced Learning
System(r)  and the A+nyWhere Learning System trademark, provided gross
profit margins of 95.7% in the first six months of 2001.

Total operating expenses, which include selling and marketing,
general and administrative, operations, and amortization of product
development costs, were $3,650,995 for the six months ended June 30,
2001, compared to $3,400,652 for the same 2000 fiscal period.  As a
percentage of sales revenue, operating expenses increased from 56.7%
in 2000 to 72.3% in 2001. This increase in operating expenses as a
percentage of revenues primarily arises because a large percentage of
the costs are a fixed amount and do not fluctuate with increases or
decreases in revenue. As revenue increases, these costs will decrease
as a percentage. This is evidenced by selling and marketing costs,
which only changed by 0.4% from $1,507,818 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, to $1,513,323 for the current period.

General and administrative expenses, including operations, increased
from $1,662,363 to $1,819,479 and as a percentage of net revenues
increased from 27.7% to 36.0% for the six month period.  The dollar
increase is primarily attributable to modest increases in support
staff over the prior year and increases in royalty payments.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, remained constant
at $75,800 in 2001 compared  to $73,770 in 2000 reflecting the cost
of the debt incurred in late 1999 for the acquisition of Dolphin. Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2001, was $69,281 compared
to $790,481 for the same period in 2000 as a result of the decrease
in sales.

Company management believes that significant future growth
opportunities exist in the school, adult literacy and 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 new, rapidly emerging
electronic learning delivery of content business models, or
elearning.  The Company's ongoing investment in content, academic
assessment tools, programming technology, and server infrastructure
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, suitable for
both the U.S. and the UK's instructional systems, will meet the
instructional requirement for many countries where English is a
primary instructional requirement.  The Company's investment into
technology and the elearning business model should provide for
expanded growth opportunities on a worldwide basis.

The Company's future competitive position has been enhanced as a
result of its 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 Java2-based A+nyWhere Learning System
trademark.  In its planning of the future, management believes that
the Internet will become a principal method for the future delivery
of its products to its customers.  These investments combine to form
a stronger overall corporate foundation that, combined with what
management believes to be favorable world market conditions, provide
a basis for sustained growth.
