                                 LIGHTSPAN, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which
include the accounts of Lightspan, Inc. ("Lightspan" or the "Company") and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Academic Systems Corporation ("Academic"), have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation,
have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended April
30, 2000 or for any other interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending January 31, 2001. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2000.

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY

      Lightspan was founded in 1993. Lightspan was incorporated as The Lightspan
Partnership, Inc., completed a reincorporation in Delaware in January 2000 and
changed its name to Lightspan, Inc. on April 10, 2000. Lightspan provides
curriculum-based educational software and Internet products and services to
schools and school districts that are used both in school and at home. Lightspan
Achieve Now is an interactive CD-ROM-based software product for kindergarten
through eighth grade, or K-8, that covers the core curriculum of language arts,
reading and math. The Lightspan Achieve Now program typically includes the
Lightspan Achieve Now software and a PlayStation(R) game console that the
student uses to run the program at home throughout the school year. Academic
software is a CD-ROM-based product that serves the college market with an
English and mathematics curriculum designed to meet the needs of under-prepared
students. The Lightspan Network is an online subscription service that provides
curriculum-based content for classroom and home use.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Lightspan derives its revenues from the licensing of software, product
implementation and training services, customer support services, Internet
subscriptions, the sale of the PlayStation game console and accessories, and
site sponsorships.

      In software arrangements that include multiple elements, such as those
that include rights to software products, customer support and product
implementation and training services, Lightspan allocates the total fee to each
component of the arrangement based on objective evidence of its fair value,
which is specific to Lightspan. The objective evidence for each element is based
on the sale price of each element when sold or offered for sale separately.

Software Licenses

      Lightspan sells its Lightspan Achieve Now licenses for use on both the
PlayStation game console and MPEG-capable, Windows-based personal computers (a
"PC platform") -- and in three distinct grade clusters -- grades K through 2;
grades 3 through 4; and grades 5 through 8. Each grade cluster includes 32 to 36
separate Lightspan Achieve Now titles, with each title consisting of one
distinct CD-ROM. There are a total of 77 separate titles planned, some of which
are included in more than one grade cluster. Lightspan considers titles that
have completed the development cycle and have been released for shipment to
customers to be "completed", and considers titles still in the development cycle
to be "as-yet uncompleted". As of April 30, 2000, all 77 Lightspan Achieve Now
titles

                                       6
<PAGE>   8

used on the PlayStation game console for each grade cluster and all titles used
on a PC platform in the K through 2 grade cluster had been completed and
shipped. For the grades 3 through 4 and grades 5 through 8 grade clusters used
on a PC platform, 69 of the 77 planned titles had been completed and shipped,
with eight of the planned titles as-yet uncompleted.

      While Lightspan is under no contractual obligation to deliver any as-yet
uncompleted titles to its customers, it does intend to deliver the remaining
titles on a when-and-if available basis. As of April 30, 2000, these remaining
titles are expected to be delivered by July 31, 2000.

      Prior to fiscal year 1999, Lightspan recognized revenue under AICPA
Statement of Position, ("SOP"), 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition. Under SOP
91-1, Lightspan recognized the full sales value of Lightspan Achieve Now
software licenses, including both completed and as-yet uncompleted titles, upon
shipment of the then-completed titles provided that there were no contractual
performance obligations to deliver the uncompleted titles and the collection of
the related receivable was deemed probable. While Lightspan had an intention to
eventually deliver a number of as-yet uncompleted titles to its customers, the
final composition of such titles was evolving and therefore customers were not
provided with specific information as to the final collection or delivery
schedule of titles to be provided. Lightspan accrued the production costs
associated with the as-yet uncompleted titles in the period in which the revenue
was recognized, and included these costs in the cost of software license
revenues and on the balance sheet as accrued cost of revenues.

      Prior to fiscal year 1999, when the number of titles to be eventually
completed and delivered had not yet been finalized, Lightspan considered its
plan to deliver as-yet uncompleted titles as a post-contract customer support,
or PCS, obligation. In accordance with the provisions of SOP 91-1, Lightspan
recognized the revenue from the PCS obligation along with the initial license
fee, based on the following five criteria: (i) the PCS fee was bundled with the
initial licensing fee; (ii) the substantial portion of additional titles was
expected to be completed and delivered within one year; (iii) the estimated cost
of providing the PCS, primarily assembly, packaging and delivery costs, were
insignificant; (iv) enhancements offered during the initial period of the PCS
arrangements were historically minimal; and, (v) collectibility of the fee was
probable.

      On February 1, 1998, Lightspan adopted the provisions of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4, Deferral of the Effective
Date of Certain Provisions of SOP 97-2. Under SOP 97-2, Lightspan recognizes
software license revenue when (i) an agreement has been executed or a definitive
purchase order has been received; (ii) the product has been shipped or services
have been performed; (iii) the fee has become fixed and determinable; (iv) the
collection of the fee is considered probable; (v) the related hardware, if
applicable, has been shipped and (vi) when all titles for a given grade cluster
have been delivered to its customers. In early 1998, Lightspan began providing
customers with a specific list of titles which were planned to be eventually
provided to the customers, as well as the projected delivery dates for these
titles. Under SOP 97-2, Lightspan defers all revenue recognition for Lightspan
Achieve Now licenses, since objective fair values of individual as-yet
uncompleted titles cannot be determined and used to allocate the license fee to
the individual titles as they are shipped.

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 for fiscal 2001. SAB 101
requires, among other things, that license and other up-front fees be recognized
over the term of the agreement, unless the fees are in exchange for products
delivered or services performed that represent the culmination of a separate
earnings process. The Company currently recognizes revenue in compliance with
SAB 101 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the
Company's financial position and results of operation.

      As of April 30, 2000, the Company completed and shipped all Lightspan
Achieve Now titles in all grade clusters used on the PlayStation game console,
and grade cluster K through 2 used on a PC platform, resulting in the
recognition of $46,447,000 of revenue previously deferred, pursuant to SOP 97-2.
During the three months ended April 30, 2000, the Company also deferred revenue
of $380,000 relating to the shipment of Lightspan Achieve Now licenses in the
as-yet uncompleted grades 3 through 4 and grades 5 through 8 grade clusters used
on a PC platform.

                                       7
<PAGE>   9

The Company will do the same for any subsequent quarter until shipment of the
final planned titles in the license to be provided for that grade cluster has
occurred. The Company expects to ship the final planned titles to be provided to
all existing customers for no additional charge by July 31, 2000.

      Academic curriculum products are licensed to colleges and then sold by the
licensing colleges to students on a student-by-student basis for use with each
class, instead of a textbook. As Lightspan is not contractually obligated to
provide further service after delivery of the license, Lightspan recognizes the
full sales value of Academic license revenue upon completion of the above
criteria defined by SOP 97-2.

      Historically, Lightspan has not experienced customer cancellations,
forfeitures or discontinuations of licenses.

2.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

      On February 15, 2000, Lightspan completed its initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 7,500,000 shares of common stock at $12 per share. Lightspan also
issued 2,125,000 shares at the same price in private placements that occurred
concurrently with the Offering. In March 2000, the underwriters exercised a
portion of their overallotment option and purchased 655,150 additional shares at
the Offering price. Total proceeds as a result of the Offering, private
placements and overallotment exercise after deducting the underwriting discount
and commissions, offering expenses and financial advisory fees relating to the
private placements was approximately $113.4 million.

      Upon completion of the Offering, all outstanding preferred stock
converted, at the then effective conversion price, into 27,087,810 shares of
common stock and all outstanding warrants to purchase preferred stock converted
into warrants to purchase shares of common stock.

3.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

      Upon the sale of Lightspan's common stock in the Offering, warrants to
purchase up to 2,760,160 shares of Series D preferred stock at $0.02 per share
(the "Springing Warrants") converted into warrants to purchase up to 1,380,080
shares of common stock and were automatically exercised, resulting in the
issuance of 1,377,762 shares of common stock. As a result, on February 15, 2000,
Lightspan accounted for the intrinsic value of the Springing Warrants by
charging accumulated deficit an additional $16,506,000 and increasing the
carrying amount of common stock by a corresponding amount.

      Basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share ("diluted EPS") reflect
the potential dilutive effect, calculated using the treasury stock method, of
additional common shares that are issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock
options and warrants and the common shares issuable upon conversion of preferred
stock upon Lightspan's initial public offering, determined on an if-converted
basis, as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>


      Options outstanding during the three months ended April 30, 2000 to
purchase approximately 109,000 shares of common stock were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than
the average market price of the common stock during the period and, therefore,
the effect would be anti-dilutive. Diluted shares issuable upon exercise of
outstanding stock options and inclusion of additional common shares assuming the
conversion of the convertible preferred stock for the three months ended April
30, 1999 were excluded as they were anti-dilutive because of the net loss during
that period.

      Subsequent to September 20, 1999, the date the Academic acquisition was
consummated, Lightspan agreed to issue additional consideration in the amount of
$5,340,075, representing 1,068,015 shares of Series E preferred stock (which
converted into 534,008 shares of common stock upon completion of the Offering),
to certain Academic stockholders. Lightspan recorded this amount as a liability
at January 31, 2000. In March 2000, Lightspan issued these shares to such
stockholders.

4.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

      For the three months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, comprehensive income
(loss) was $1,135,000 and ($8,462,000), respectively. The difference between net
income and comprehensive income for the three months ended April 30, 2000 was
due to net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities of $22,000. There
were no net unrealized holding losses for the three months ended April 30, 1999.

5.  LINE OF CREDIT AND LEASE FINANCING

      Lightspan had a revolving line of credit with a bank which allowed
Lightspan to borrow up to a maximum of the lesser of (a) 75% of eligible
accounts receivable (as defined) or (b) $10,000,000 with interest at the bank's
prime rate plus 1.5%. The line of credit was collateralized by substantially all
of Lightspan's assets and expired in April 2000. Lightspan is currently
evaluating future lines of credit.

      In April 1999, Lightspan entered into a $1.0 million capital lease with a
financial institution. Under the agreement, which expires September 2000,
Lightspan finances the purchase of substantially all capital equipment at an
8.8% interest rate, with payments due over a 42-month period and a purchase
option at the end of the lease term. As of April 30, 2000, $736,000 was
available for future borrowing under this agreement.

      In connection with the acquisition of Academic, Lightspan assumed a note
payable bearing interest at the bank's prime rate plus 0.5%. Lightspan paid in
full the remaining principal balance of $172,000 with the proceeds from the
Offering in February 2000.

6.  REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

      SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, establishes standards for disclosure about operating segments in
annual financial statements and selected information in interim financial
reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products
and services, geographic areas and major customers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPES OF PRODUCTS FROM WHICH EACH REPORTABLE SEGMENT DERIVES
ITS REVENUES

      Lightspan has two reportable segments: K-12 and Higher Education. Revenues
derived from the K-12 segment include the sale of Lightspan Achieve Now software
licenses, subscription fees for The Lightspan Network and Edutest products,
implementation, training and support services and hardware and related
accessories. Revenues derived from the Higher Education segment, comprised
solely of Academic which was acquired in September 1999, include the sale of
curriculum products licensed to colleges and then sold by the licensing colleges
to students on a student-by-student basis for use with each class.

MEASUREMENT OF SEGMENT PROFIT OR LOSS AND SEGMENT ASSETS

      Lightspan evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or
loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies.

FACTORS MANAGEMENT USED TO IDENTIFY LIGHTSPAN'S REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

      Lightspan's reportable segments are business units that offer different
products and services. Prior to the end of fiscal year 2001, and due to the
Company's restructuring in July 2000 and as the Company has focused on selling
its software and fee-based subscription Internet products and services together,
Lightspan re-evaluated its reportable segments and combined the Achieve Now and
K-12 Internet segments, previously reported as separate segments, into the K-12
segment.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR LIGHTSPAN'S SEGMENTS

      The Company's Higher Education segment remains solely comprised of
Academic. The following information is for the K-12 and Higher Education
segments (in thousands):

7.  LEGAL MATTERS

      In July 1996, a former employee (the "Plaintiff") commenced legal action
against Lightspan, alleging causes of action for fraud, breach of contract,
negligent misrepresentation and conversion. On August 26, 1999, the Plaintiff
and Lightspan entered into a settlement agreement and release, the terms of
which are subject to confidentiality provisions. In the three months ended April
30, 2000, Lightspan paid the remaining settlement costs and legal fees of
approximately $620,000 for a total of $1,578,000 in legal and settlement costs
related to this case.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On May 24, 2000, Lightspan entered into an agreement to acquire Edutest,
Inc., a provider of Internet-based educational testing and assessment products.
The acquisition is expected to add valuable products to Lightspan's line of
Internet-based solutions for the K--12 market and to further Lightspan's
commitment to improve achievement for all students.

      Edutest offers a combination of online assessment products and proprietary
test questions covering language arts, mathematics, history and science,
allowing educators to assess their students' progress in the classroom. The
results can be analyzed at the school district level, the school level, and the
classroom level for teachers and students.

      Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Edutest could receive a
combination of cash and common shares of Lightspan with a value of up to $15.7
million. The aggregate value to be received by Edutest shareholders at closing
will be approximately $2.2 million in cash and $9.0 million in stock, with a
potential for up to an additional $4.0 million in stock over the subsequent 18
months. The transaction will be accounted for under the purchase method. The
foregoing valuations are based on an assumed price of $8.75 per share of
Lightspan, Inc. common stock. On June 23, 2000, the acquisition transaction with
Edutest was completed.

      On May 26, 2000, Lightspan acquired LearningPlanet.com, a popular
education Web destination for kids and their parents. The acquisition will
augment the extensive collection of preschool through high school
curriculum-based learning activities already available in Lightspan's Internet
products and services. LearningPlanet.com features creative and instructional
learning activities in mathematics and language arts. Launched in June 1999,
LearningPlanet.com has focused on creating activities for kids that are both
entertaining and educational. The transaction was structured as an asset
purchase, with Lightspan acquiring the LearningPlanet.com Web site and related
technology and assets in exchange for a combination of up to $450,000 in
Lightspan common stock and cash.

9.  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB"), issued
FASB Interpretation No. 44, ("FIN 44"), Accounting for Certain Transactions
involving Stock Compensation, which contains rules designed to clarify the
application of APB 25. FIN 44 will be effective on July 1, 2000 and the Company
will adopt it at that time. The Company believes the anticipated impact of
adoption of FIN 44 will not be material to the results of operations or
financial position of the Company.

OVERVIEW

      We were founded in 1993 on the philosophy of using technology to increase
student achievement by connecting the school to the home. We develop, market and
sell curriculum-based educational software and Internet products and services
used both in school and at home. Our curriculum-based educational software
consists of our Lightspan Achieve Now and Academic software. Lightspan Achieve
Now is our media-rich, interactive CD-ROM-based software for students in
kindergarten through eighth grade that covers the core curriculum of language
arts, reading and math. Its technology, delivery system and content help
increase student interest in learning, parental involvement in their children's
education, and productive interaction among teachers, parents and students. Our
Academic software is also CD-ROM-based and serves the college market with an
English and mathematics curriculum designed to meet the needs of under-prepared
students. We offer the following integrated family of Internet products and
services through our Web site, Lightspan.com:

      -     The Lightspan Network, an online subscription service marketed to
            schools for classroom and home use;

      -     Your Class Online, an online service that enables teachers to easily
            create customized home pages for their classrooms;

      -     Your School Online, a school Web site builder that easily integrates
            with Your Class Online and with existing school or district Web
            sites;

      -     Global Schoolhouse, a leading education Web site that helps teachers
            develop and manage collaborative learning projects online;

      -     Lightspan Learning Search, a service that sorts the most valuable
            educational Web sites, lesson plans and activities from the Internet
            by grade and subject for easy access for teachers, students and
            parents;

      -     StudyWeb, a leading research Web site that helps parents, teachers
            and students find on the Web the educational information and
            resources they want;

      -     The Lightspan Learning Store, a Web site that sells educational
            products online to teachers and parents; and

      -     selected additional content for teachers, parents and students.

      Our products and services are sold to school districts by a direct field
sales force and supported by our professional development team who assists in
implementing our curricula in schools.

      We commenced operations in September 1993, and through June 1996 our
activities consisted primarily of designing and developing Lightspan Achieve
Now. In January 1996, we released our Lightspan Achieve Now curriculum for use
on Windows-based personal computers. In the fall of that year, we released the
product for use on the PlayStation game console. To supplement our product
offerings, we introduced The Lightspan Network in January 1997 and we launched
Lightspan PageOne in June 1999. We acquired Academic and Global Schoolhouse in
September 1999, and StudyWeb in October 1999. We also introduced Lightspan.com
in September 1999, and enhanced it in October 1999 with the Lightspan Learning
Store and in February 2000, with Your School Online and Your Class Online, the
successor to Lightspan PageOne.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Effective February 1, 1998, we adopted SOP 97-2, as described in Note 1 of
the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", which caused a substantial
change in our revenue recognition for Lightspan Achieve Now licenses. Under SOP
97-2, we are unable to recognize any Lightspan Achieve Now license fees as
revenue until we ship the final title which we plan to provide to all existing
customers for no additional charge. Therefore, we have deferred revenue
recognition for all Lightspan Achieve Now licenses shipped in the years ended
January 31, 2000 and 1999. Through April 30, 2000, we completed and shipped all
Lightspan Achieve Now titles in all grade

                                       12
<PAGE>   14

clusters used on the PlayStation game console, and grade cluster K through 2
used on a PC platform, resulting in the recognition of $46.4 million of revenue
previously deferred.

      During the three months ended April 30, 2000, we also deferred $0.4
million of revenue related to the shipment of Lightspan Achieve Now licenses in
the as-yet uncompleted grades 3 through 4 and grades 5 through 8 grade clusters
used on a PC platform. We will do the same for any subsequent quarter until we
have shipped the final titles in the license to be provided for that grade
cluster. By July 31, 2000, we expect to ship the final title to be provided to
all existing customers for no additional charge. This will result in the
recognition of the remaining deferred revenue balance, and the related deferred
cost of revenue, at that time.

      To the extent that we deferred the Lightspan Achieve Now license revenue
until delivery of final titles, pursuant to SOP 97-2, we also deferred the costs
of duplicating the product and packaging it for distribution. In the quarter
ended April 30, 2000, we recognized $8.4 million in cost of license revenue when
we recognized the related $46.4 million in revenue.

      The following table shows the activity in license revenue and cost of
license revenue deferred pursuant to SOP 97-2 as of April 30, 2000 and 1999 (in
thousands):

</TABLE>


      We expect to recognize the remaining deferred license revenue of $2.0
million and deferred cost of license revenue of $0.4 million in the quarter
ending July 31, 2000. We will incur additional marginal costs in those quarters
to reproduce and distribute the as-yet uncompleted titles at April 30, 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Operating Losses. We have incurred significant losses since our inception
and, as of April 30, 2000, have an accumulated deficit of approximately $176.3
million. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable
future. In the current quarter, we completed and shipped all Lightspan Achieve
Now titles in all grade clusters used on the PlayStation game console, and grade
cluster K through 2 used on a PC platform, recognizing $46.4 million in
previously deferred revenue pursuant to SOP 97-2, resulting in an operating
profit of $16.1 million. The operating results in this quarter are not
indicative of our underlying business in this quarter, and will not be
indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent quarter, for the
full year ending January 31, 2001 or for that matter any future years.

COMPARISON OF  THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 AND 1999

REVENUES

      We generate software and Internet license revenue, service revenue,
hardware revenue and other revenue. Our total revenues increased to $56.4
million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $2.6 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1999. This was due to an increase of $52.5 million
primarily as a result of the recognition

                                       13
<PAGE>   15

of $46.4 million in revenue previously deferred, and increases of $1.0 million
in service revenue, $0.1 million in hardware revenue and $0.2 million in other
revenue, as described below.

      License Revenues. We derive license revenues from the sale of Lightspan
Achieve Now licenses, Academic licenses and subscriptions for The Lightspan
Network. We recognize revenue from Lightspan Achieve Now licenses and Academic
licenses after: a license agreement has been executed or a definitive purchase
order has been received; the product has been shipped; the license fee has
become fixed and determinable; the collection of the fee is considered probable;
and the related hardware, if applicable, has been shipped.

      In software arrangements that include multiple elements, such as those
that include rights to software products, customer support and product
implementation and training services, we allocate the total fee to each
component of the arrangement based on objective evidence of its fair value,
which is specific to us. The objective evidence for each element is based on the
respective list prices of each element when sold or offered for sale separately.
Historically, we have not experienced customer cancellations, forfeitures or
discontinuations of licenses. Our revenues from sales of Lightspan Achieve Now
consist of license, service and hardware revenues, although since February 1,
1998 we have deferred recognition of certain license revenues, as described
above in "Revenue Recognition".

      Our total license revenues grew to $52.9 million for the three months
ended April 30, 2000 from $0.4 million for the three months ended April 30,
1999. The majority of the increase related to our recognition of $46.4 million
of Lightspan Achieve Now revenue previously deferred pursuant to SOP 97-2, the
recognition of $4.6 million in Lightspan Achieve Now licenses shipped in the
three months ended April 30, 2000 and $1.1 million in revenue from Academic
licenses.

      Due to our adoption of SOP 97-2 on February 1, 1998, we did not record any
license revenues related to Lightspan Achieve Now in fiscal 2000 or 1999. In the
quarter ended April 30, 2000, we completed and shipped all Lightspan Achieve Now
titles in all grade clusters used on the PlayStation game console, and grade
cluster K through 2 used on a PC platform, resulting in the recognition of $46.4
million of revenue previously deferred, pursuant to SOP 97-2. During the three
months ended April 30, 2000, we also shipped Lightspan Achieve Now licenses in
the amount of $5.0 million, $0.4 million of which we deferred pursuant to SOP
97-2. This represented a 40% increase over $3.6 million in shipments which were
entirely deferred for the three months ended April 30, 1999. This increase was
due to increased sales and marketing efforts, continued market acceptance of our
products and expansion of our existing customer base.

      License revenues also increased due to $1.1 million in revenue from
Academic licenses. Academic curriculum products are licensed to colleges and
then sold by the licensing colleges to students on a student-by-student basis
for use with each class, instead of a textbook. As we are not contractually
obligated to provide further service after delivery of the license, we recognize
the full sales value of Academic license revenue upon completion of the above
criteria defined by SOP 97-2.

      Our revenues from subscription fees for The Lightspan Network increased to
$0.7 million from $0.4 million, an increase of 76% due primarily to an increase
in the number of subscribers to The Lightspan Network. We recognize revenue from
subscriptions to The Lightspan Network ratably over the term of the subscription
agreement. Subscription licenses are for a one-year term, and are paid in
advance. Amounts received in excess of revenue that is recognized are recorded
as deferred revenue.

      Service Revenues. Our service revenues increased 78% to $2.2 million for
the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $1.2 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1999 due primarily to an increase in sales of Lightspan Achieve
Now licenses. We derive service revenues from implementation services and
training for our Lightspan Achieve Now curriculum that is provided by our
professional development team and, to a lesser extent, from telephone support
and maintenance. All customers that purchase our Lightspan Achieve Now
curriculum also purchase service and support. This service and support are paid
for in advance and initially recorded as deferred revenues. Service revenues are
recognized when services are performed, in accordance with the standard
implementation, training, service, and evaluation plans that we establish for
the customer. Revenues from telephone

                                       14
<PAGE>   16

support and maintenance arrangements are recognized ratably over the one-year
term of the support and maintenance agreement.

      Hardware Revenues. Our hardware revenues increased 15% to $1.2 million for
the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $1.0 million for three months ended
April 30, 1999. This was due to an increase in the number of units we shipped,
offset in part by a decrease in the average selling price of the PlayStation
game console. We derive hardware revenues from the sale of the PlayStation game
console and accessories. We recognize hardware revenues after a definitive
purchase order has been received, the product has been shipped and collection of
the sales price is considered probable. Substantially all of our Lightspan
Achieve Now customers also purchase the PlayStation game console.

      Other Revenues. Other revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2000
was $0.2 million. We derive other revenues primarily from site sponsorship
agreements, which began in February 2000, whereby we provide certain online
exposure by promoting the products and services of site sponsors on our
Lightspan.com Web site. We also provide other offline exposure such as providing
name or logo placement on selected Lightspan.com consumer and trade advertising
and giving site sponsorship credits at technology and education trade shows we
participate in throughout the term of the agreement. We recognize site
sponsorship revenue over the term the services are provided.

COST OF REVENUES

       Our cost of revenues include license costs, service costs and hardware
costs. License costs represent costs for assembly, distribution and materials
for CD-ROMs, packaging and print material costs, costs for third-party royalties
and third-party content and costs for server and network fees. Service costs
represent labor costs and overhead related to professional development
personnel. Hardware costs represent costs for the PlayStation game console and
related accessories.

      Our cost of revenues increased to $11.6 million for the three months ended
April 30, 2000 from $1.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 1999. This
was due to an increase of $9.7 million in cost of license revenue resulting
primarily from recognition of cost of revenue previously deferred, an increase
of $0.3 million in cost of service revenue and an increase of $0.1 million in
cost of hardware revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues was 79%
and 40% for the three months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

      Cost of License Revenues. Our cost of license revenues increased to $9.8
million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $0.1 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1999. This was due primarily to the recognition of
$8.4 million in cost of Lightspan Achieve Now license revenue previously
deferred, an increase of $0.7 million in Lightspan Achieve Now cost of licenses
shipped in the three months ended April 30, 2000, a $0.4 million increase due to
Academic cost of revenue and a $0.2 million increase in cost of revenues for
subscriptions to The Lightspan Network.

      Because we deferred all revenue related to shipments of Lightspan Achieve
Now in both fiscal 2000 and 1999, we also deferred the related cost of revenue.
In the quarter ended April 30, 2000, we completed and shipped all Lightspan
Achieve Now titles in all grade clusters used on the PlayStation game console,
and grade cluster K through 2 used on a PC platform, resulting in the
recognition of $8.4 million in cost of licenses previously deferred, pursuant to
SOP 97-2. During the three months ended April 30, 2000, we also shipped
Lightspan Achieve Now licenses, representing $0.8 million in cost of revenue,
prior to deferral of $0.1 million related to the as-yet uncompleted titles. This
represents a 19% increase over $0.7 million in shipments which were entirely
deferred for the three months ended April 30, 1999. Gross margin on deferred and
recognized Lightspan Achieve Now license revenues and cost of license revenues
increased to 84% from 82% due to a decrease in the cost of materials for CD-ROMs
for the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended
April 30, 1999.

      Our cost of revenues for Academic licenses was $0.4 million. Gross margin
for Academic as a percentage of license revenues was 64%. Our cost of revenues
for subscriptions to The Lightspan Network increased to $0.3 million from $0.1
million, an increase of 123%. This growth was due primarily to an increase in
third-party content

                                       15
<PAGE>   17

fees driven by an increase in subscriptions. Gross margin as a percentage of
subscription fee revenues from The Lightspan Network decreased to 58% from 66%.
This decrease was primarily due to additional network and server costs.

      Cost of Service Revenues. Our cost of service revenues increased 50% to
$0.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $0.6 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in professional services and support personnel to accommodate the
growth in sales of Lightspan Achieve Now licenses and related services. Gross
margin as a percentage of service revenues increased to 58% from 51% due
primarily to our service revenues increasing at a greater rate than our fixed
professional development costs.

      Cost of Hardware Revenues. Our cost of hardware revenues increased to $0.9
million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $0.8 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1999 due primarily to an increase in hardware
revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of hardware revenues increased to 22% from
17% due to a decrease in the cost of the PlayStation game console accessories
for the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended
April 30, 1999.

EXPENSES

      Technology and Development. Our technology and development expenses
increased to $5.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $2.1
million for the three months ended April 30, 1999, an increase of 147%. This was
due to our hiring of additional personnel and related costs for Web site design
and development of our Internet business as we expanded our Internet offerings,
and the addition of Academic technology and development expense of $1.0 million.
This increase also resulted from a reduction in development personnel and
related costs that occurred throughout the three months ended April 30, 1999
following completion of initial design and development of substantially all of
our Lightspan Achieve Now titles.

      Our technology and development costs consist primarily of payroll and
related costs for design, art, production, development, maintenance and testing
of our Lightspan Achieve Now curriculum and for performing Web site design,
development and testing which are properly expensed as incurred pursuant to SOP
98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use. We regularly evaluate these expenses under SOP 98-1 in order to
determine their proper treatment. We believe that continued investment in
fee-based subscription Internet product development is critical to attaining our
strategic objectives and, therefore, anticipate that current levels of fee-based
subscription Internet product development expenses will continue in future
periods.

      Sales and Marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses increased to $17.0
million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $6.1 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1999, an increase of 177%. This was due to an
increase in marketing personnel and marketing and promotional activities
particularly in connection with the launch of Lightspan.com and the related $5.0
million television campaign, the continued promotion of Lightspan Achieve Now
and the addition of Academic sales and marketing expense of $2.2 million.

      Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and
related benefits, commissions, bonuses, travel, advertising, promotional
activities, customer incentive programs and research and evaluation of our
current customers and markets. In July 2000, we recorded a $1.6 million
restructuring charge related to a refocus of our sales and marketing efforts
from our free Internet products towards our subscription Internet products.
Although we have reduced our sales and marketing expenses related to our free
Internet products, we continue to pursue branding and marketing campaigns to
retain and increase sales to current customers, attract new customers, and
broaden our markets for our subscription Internet products, Lightspan Achieve
Now curriculum and Academic products.

      As we have experienced significant customer interest and acceptance of our
subscription Internet products, with many schools looking for web content to
deliver on newly-installed infrastructures, we decided to emphasize the
subscription part of our K-12 Internet business and reduce the heavy promotional
spending necessary to generate consumer traffic for our free site,
Lightspan.com. These changes should allow us to reduce our costs structure in
future periods.

                                       16
<PAGE>   18

      General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses
increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $0.9
million for the three months ended April 30, 1999, an increase of 147%. This
increase was due primarily to increased personnel and related costs resulting
from our increased infrastructure, increased corporate expenses associated with
being a public company including legal and accounting fees and $0.3 million in
expenses from Academic.

      Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and
related costs for executive and administrative personnel, professional services
expenses and other general corporate expenses. We expect that general and
administrative expenses may increase as our business expands.

      Stock-Based Compensation. By the three months ended April 30, 2000 and
1999, we had recorded $8.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in deferred
stock-based compensation as a result of our granting of stock options to
employees with exercise prices per share deemed to be below the fair values per
share for our common stock on the dates those options were granted. The deferred
stock-based compensation is being amortized to expense on an accelerated basis
over the vesting period of the individual options, generally four years. The
amortization of deferred stock-based compensation expense was approximately $0.9
million and $0.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. As of April 30, 2000, there was approximately $4.2 million to be
amortized in future periods.

      Amortization of Intangible Assets. In connection with the acquisitions of
Academic, Global Schoolhouse and StudyWeb in the third quarter of fiscal 2000,
we recorded intangible assets totaling an aggregate of approximately $54.2
million, including goodwill of $28.4 million. We amortize these intangible
assets over their respective useful lives, ranging from three to ten years. Our
amortization of intangible assets totaled $3.3 million for the three months
ended April 30, 2000. We expect to record annual amortization expense related to
these acquisitions of approximately $13.5 million for each of fiscal years 2001
and 2002, $13.0 million for fiscal 2003, $7.6 million for fiscal 2004, $0.3
million for each fiscal year from 2005 through 2009 and approximately $0.2
million for fiscal 2010.

      Interest Income (Expense). Our net interest income was $1.5 million for
the three months ended April 30, 2000 as a result of investing the proceeds from
our initial public offering in short term, interest-bearing, investment grade
securities.

SPRINGING WARRANTS

      Upon the sale of our common stock in the Offering, warrants to purchase up
to 2,760,160 shares of Series D preferred stock at $0.02 per share (the
"Springing Warrants") converted into warrants to purchase up to 1,380,080 shares
of common stock and were automatically exercised, resulting in the issuance of
1,377,762 shares of common stock. As a result, on February 15, 2000, we
accounted for the intrinsic value of the Springing Warrants by charging
accumulated deficit an additional $16.5 million and increasing the carrying
amount of common stock by a corresponding amount. Such amount also decreased the
net income per share applicable to common stockholders for the three months
ended April 30, 2000 and will increase the net loss or decrease the net income
applicable to common stockholders for periods including February 15, 2000.

LEGAL MATTERS

      In July 1996, a former employee (the "Plaintiff") commenced legal action
against us, alleging causes of action for fraud, breach of contract, negligent
misrepresentation and conversion. On August 26, 1999, we entered into a
settlement agreement and release with the Plaintiff, the terms of which are
subject to confidentiality provisions. In the three months ended April 30, 2000,
we paid the remaining settlement costs and legal fees of approximately $0.6
million for a total of $1.6 million in legal and settlement costs related to
this case.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      From inception through January 2000, we financed our operations and met
our capital expenditure requirements primarily with the net proceeds from
private sales of equity securities totaling approximately $143.6 million. On
February 15, 2000, we completed our initial public offering of 7,500,000 shares
of common stock at an initial offering price of $12 per share. We also completed
private placement offerings concurrently with our initial public offering with
CINAR, Cox Communications and Gateway Companies, Inc. for 833,333, 1,041,667 and
250,000 shares, respectively. The proceeds from these offerings after deducting
the underwriting discount and commissions and offering expenses and payment of
financial advisory fees relating to our private placements was approximately
$106.1 million. In March 2000, the underwriters exercised 655,150 shares of
their overallotment option for total proceeds, net of discounts and commissions,
of $7.3 million. At April 30, 2000, we had $101.5 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $14.3 million in short-term investments. The expansion of our
business will require significant additional capital to fund operating losses,
capital expenditures and working capital needs. We have incurred significant
losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur losses for the
foreseeable future.

      Our working capital has fluctuated significantly since our inception. This
is due, in large part, to the timing of cash payments to vendors, cash
collections from customers, varying resources required for development efforts
on our product offerings, as well as receipt of cash from our preferred stock
financings, initial public offering, private placements and other equity
offerings. We expect that our working capital requirements and cash position
will fluctuate significantly from period to period for the foreseeable future.
These fluctuations may be caused by increased spending to support our growth in
operations, strategic investments, or acquisitions.

      Net cash used in operating activities was $18.3 million for the three
months ended April 30, 2000 and $4.2 million for the three months ended April
30, 1999. Net cash used during these periods was primarily to fund technology
and development, sales and marketing, including promotion of Lightspan.com and
general and administrative costs associated with the development and deployment
of our Lightspan Achieve Now and Academic curriculum and Internet products and
services. We expect our negative operating cash flow to continue for the
foreseeable future.

      Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.1 million for the three
months ended April 30, 2000 relating primarily to the maturity, offset by
purchases, of short-term investments purchased with proceeds from the Offering.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 1999
was $0.2 million related primarily to the purchase of property and equipment.

      Net cash provided by financing activities was $113.7 million for the three
months ended April 30, 2000, relating primarily to the proceeds from our initial
public offering, private placements and the underwriter's exercise of their
overallotment option. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for
the three months ended April 30, 1999 related primarily to net principal
repayments on capital leases.

      In April 2000, our line of credit with a financial institution, of $10.0
million or 75% of eligible accounts receivable with interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 1.5% and collateralized by substantially all of our assets, expired
without renewal. We did not renew the line of credit as a result of the cash
reserves provided by the proceeds from our initial public offering. We are
currently evaluating future credit facilities.

      We entered into a $1.0 million capital lease line with a financial
institution in April 1999. Under the agreement, which expires in September 2000,
we finance the purchase of capital equipment at an 8.8% interest rate over a
42-month period with a purchase option. As of April 30, 2000, $736,000 was
available for future borrowing under this agreement.

      On May 24, 2000, we entered into an agreement to acquire Edutest, Inc., a
provider of Internet-based educational testing and assessment products, for a
combination of cash and shares of our common stock with a value of up to $15.7
million. The aggregate value to be received by Edutest shareholders at closing
will be approximately $2.2 million in cash and $9.0 million in stock, with a
potential for up to an additional $4.5 million in stock over the subsequent 18
months.

                                       18
<PAGE>   20

        On June 23, 2000, we acquired Edutest, Inc., a provider of
Internet-based educational testing and assessment products, for a combination of
cash and shares of our common stock with a value of up to $15.9 million. The
aggregate consideration received by Edutest's shareholders at closing was $2.4
million in cash, $1.3 million of which was paid to common shareholders, and the
remaining $1.1 million of which was paid in satisfaction of various obligations
of Edutest, and 1,028,543 shares of our common stock which had a value of $9.0
million assuming a per share price of $8.75. In addition, we may issue (i) up to
228,561 shares of our common stock eighteen months from June 23, 2000 and (ii)
up to $2.0 million in stock shortly after July 31, 2001 if Edutest meets certain
revenue based performance criteria. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase.

      Our future capital requirements will depend on a variety of factors,
including market acceptance of our products and services and the resources we
devote to developing, marketing, selling and supporting our products. We expect
to devote substantial capital resources in connection with brand maintenance,
marketing, promotional activities, maintaining and selling our existing products
and services, and continued development and expansion of our fee-based
subscription Internet offerings and content. In addition, we may devote
substantial capital resources to strategic acquisitions and relationships.

      In September 1999 we completed our acquisition of Academic, pursuant to
which we issued 7,191,839 shares of our Series E preferred stock pursuant to
various exchange ratios applied to the various classes and series of capital
stock of Academic. However, we believed a small number of former Academic
stockholders had rights to additional shares of our stock. As a result, on March
3, 2000, we issued 534,008 shares of common stock to those stockholders.

      As of April 30, 2000, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents and
the net proceeds from our initial public offering and private placements will be
sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
