THE CORPORATE EXECUTIVE BOARD COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of operations

We provide "best practices" research and analysis focusing on corporate strategy, operations and general management issues. Best practice research identifies and analyzes specific management initiatives,
processes and strategies that have been determined to produce the best results in solving common business problems or challenges. For a fixed annual fee, members of each subscription program have access to an integrated set of services, including
best practices research studies, executive education seminars, customized research briefs and Web-based access to the programs content database and decision support tools.

Note 2 - Condensed financial statements

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial
information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included
herein. It is recommended that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes as reported on our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2001.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The condensed balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2000, has been derived from the financial statements that have been audited by our independent public accountants. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001, or any other period within calendar year 2001.

Note 3 -Public offerings of common stock

In March 2001, certain of our shareholders sold 3,035,000 shares of our common stock in a registered public offering (the "Registered Offering"). In February 2000, certain of our shareholders sold
5,511,515 shares of our common stock in a secondary public offering (the "Secondary Offering"). We did not directly receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock pursuant to the Registered Offering or Secondary Offering. However, we did receive
cash from the exercise of common stock options in conjunction with the Registered Offering and Secondary Offering. In addition, we recognized $1.0 million and $940,000 in compensation expense reflecting additional Federal Insurance Corporation Act
(FICA) taxes as a result of the taxable income that the employees recognized upon the exercise of common stock options in conjunction with the Registered Offering and Secondary Offering, respectively. The additional FICA taxes are
included within Stock option and related expenses on the condensed statement of income.

Note 4 - Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the number of basic weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net
income by the number of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The number of weighted average common share equivalents outstanding has been determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common share
equivalents consist of common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common stock options. A reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is as follows:

|                                                      | Three months ended March 31, |

|Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding    | 35,407,608                   | 
|                                                      |                              |

Note 5- Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus the net-of-tax impact of foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on certain
investments in debt and equity securities. Comprehensive income for the three months ended March 30, 2001 and 2000, was $4.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The accumulated elements of comprehensive income, net of tax, included within
stockholders equity on the balance sheets are comprised solely of the change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale marketable securities. Unrealized gains, net of tax, on available-for-sale marketable securities amounted to
$768,000 at March 31, 2001. Unrealized losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale marketable securities amounted to $490,000 at March 31, 2000.

Note 6 - Supplemental cash flow disclosures

For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, we recognized $33.3 million and $28.2 million, respectively, in stockholders' equity for tax deductions associated with the exercise of non-qualified
stock options. Estimated current income tax payments for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, have been reduced by the consideration of the tax deductions associated with the exercise of non-qualified stock options.

Note 7  Condensed financial statement reclassifications

Certain amounts in the condensed financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the condensed financial
statements as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of The Corporate Executive Board Company contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements are based on our current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include, among others, our dependence on renewals of our membership-based services, our inability to know in advance if new products will
be successful, difficulties we may experience in anticipating market trends, our need to attract and retain a significant number of highly skilled employees, restrictions on selling our products and services to the health care industry, continued
consolidation in the financial institution industry which may adversely impact our business, fluctuations in operating results, our potential inability to protect our intellectual property rights, our potential exposure to litigation related
content, our potential exposure to loss of revenue resulting from our unconditional service guarantee, various factors that could affect the estimated income tax rate, and possible volatility of stock price. We undertake no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Overview

We provide "best practices" research and analysis focusing on corporate strategy, operations and general management issues. Best practice research identifies and analyzes specific management initiatives,
processes and strategies that have been determined to produce the best results in solving common business problems or challenges. For a fixed annual fee, members of each subscription program have access to an integrated set of services, including
best practices research studies, executive education seminars, customized research briefs and Web-based access to the program's content database and decision support tools.

One measure of our business is the annualized "Contract Value," which we calculate as the aggregate annualized subscription membership revenue attributed to all subscription membership agreements in
effect at a given point in time without regard to the remaining duration of any such agreement. Our experience has been that a substantial portion of members renew subscriptions for an equal or higher level each year. Contract Value has increased
31.4% to $111.6 million at March 31, 2001, from $84.9 million at March 31, 2000.

Our operating costs and expenses consist of cost of services, member relations and marketing, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, and stock option and related expenses. Cost of services
represents the costs associated with the production and delivery of our products and services, including compensation of research personnel and in-house faculty, the production of published materials, the organization of member meetings and all
associated support services. Member relations and marketing expenses include the costs of acquiring new members and renewing existing members, compensation expense (including sales commissions), travel and all associated support services. General
and administrative expenses include the costs of human resources and recruiting, finance and accounting, management information systems, facilities management, new product development and other administrative functions. Stock option and related
expenses include non-cash compensation expense related to certain stock option agreements in existence at the time we were spun-off from the Advisory Board Company (the Spin-off) and additional payroll taxes for compensation expense
relating to the taxable income recognized by employees upon the exercise of non-qualified common stock options.

|                                                     |                              |  
|Three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 |                              |  

Revenues.Total revenues increased 40.6% to $29.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase
in revenues is attributable primarily to cross-selling additional subscriptions to existing members, adding new members, price increases, and the introduction of three new subscription programs over the past twelve months.

Cost of services. Cost of services increased 32.6% to $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The
increase in cost of services was principally due to increased research staffing and related compensation costs to support the introduction of new subscription programs and an increase in short answer research and executive education services
staffing to serve the growing membership base. Cost of services decreased as a percentage of revenues to 38.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from 40.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This decrease is attributable to the
fixed nature of the production costs of best practices research studies, as these costs are not significantly affected by growth in the number of subscription memberships.

Member relations and marketing. Member relations and marketing costs increased 51.9% to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $4.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in member relations and marketing costs is primarily due to the increase in sales staff and related costs, the increase in commission expense associated with increased revenues, and the increase in member
relations personnel and related costs to serve the expanding membership base. Although we have added member relations and marketing resources to increase revenues, member relations and marketing costs have remained relatively consistent as a
percentage of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

General and administrative.General and administrative expenses increased 42.2% to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $2.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from staffing increases in general management, human resources and recruiting, management information systems, and facilities management to support
overall our growth. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses have remained consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

9



Depreciation.Depreciation expense increased 103.8% to $921,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $452,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase
in depreciation expense was principally due to purchases of computer equipment and software to support organizational growth.

Stock option and related expenses.We recognized $93,000 and $96,000 for the three months ended in March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, in non-cash compensation expense
related to stock option agreements in existence at the time of the Spin-off. In connection with the Spin-off, The Advisory Board Company executed substitution agreements with each of our employees participating in The Advisory Board Company stock
option plan. The terms of the substitution agreements resulted in compensation expense being recognized over the vesting period. We will recognize the remaining $93,000 of compensation expense related to the substitution agreements in the three
month period ended June 30, 2001. In addition, we recognized $1.0 million and $940,000 in compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, reflecting additional Federal Insurance Corporation Act
(FICA) taxes as a result of the taxable income that the employees recognized upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of common stock which were sold in the Registered Offering and Secondary Offering.

Gross profit trend.Historically, the gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of total revenues) has fluctuated based upon the growth in revenues offset by the cost of
delivering best practices research studies, the timing of executive education seminars, the volume of customized research briefs and the hiring of personnel. Accordingly, the gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2001, may not be
indicative of future results.

Liquidity and capital resources

Cash flows from operating activities.We have financed its operations to date through funds generated from operating activities. Subscription memberships, which are primarily
annually renewable contracts, are generally payable by members at the beginning of the contract term. The combination of revenues growth and advance payment of subscription memberships has historically resulted in net positive cash flows provided by
operating activities. We generated net cash flows from operating activities of $18.7 million and $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, operating cash flow
was generated principally by net income, the collection of membership fees receivable, and the utilization of tax benefits created by the exercise of common stock options. The increases in the three months ended March 31, 2001, were partially offset
by the growth in deferred revenues. The increases in the three months ended March 31, 2000, were offset by a growth in deferred revenues, in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in accrued incentive compensation. As of March 31, 2001, we had
cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $95.3 million. Management expects that its current cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balances and net positive cash flows from operations will satisfy working capital,
financing activities and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.

Cash flows from investing activities.Net cash used in investing activities was $17.4 million and $6.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, is attributed to the purchase of available-for-sale marketable securities and the additional investment in computer equipment and
software.

Cash flows from financing activities.Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.1 million and $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, was primarily attributed to receipt of cash from the exercise of stock options in association with the Registered Offering and Secondary
Offering. In the three months ended March 31, 2001, we withheld $1.2 million of income tax liabilities on behalf of the employees who exercised and sold non-qualified common stock options in the Registered Offering. In addition, we entered into
agreements with certain employees prior to the Spin-off relating to the repurchase of stock options at fixed amounts. We paid $3.1 million and $1.6 million related to these agreements in the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
We do not have any remaining cash obligations related to the agreements with certain employees prior to the Spin-off to repurchase stock options at fixed amounts as of March 31, 2001.

We have entered into a $10.0 million, unsecured loan agreement, expiring May 2002, with a commercial bank that provides for a revolving line of credit facility under which we may from time to time borrow, repay and re-borrow funds.
There have been no borrowings under the loan agreement.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities, which is designed for safety of principal and liquidity. We maintain a portfolio of
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid U.S. government and U.S. Treasury obligations with maturities of less than three months. Marketable securities consist
primarily of United States Treasury notes and bonds and Washington, D.C. tax-exempt notes and bonds. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit ratings related to the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. This portfolio is
subject to inherent interest rate risk as investments mature and are re-invested at current market interest rates. We currently do not use derivative financial instruments to adjust out portfolio risk or income profile.
