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


General

     The Company currently operates sixteen Kids Quest centers providing hourly
child care and thirteen New Horizon Child Care centers providing traditional
child care services. The first Kids Quest center opened in May 1992 in Grand
Casino Hinckley. Since that time, the Company has opened six additional Kids
Quests at Grand Casino locations in Minnesota, Mississippi and Louisiana. Kids
Quest opened its shopping mall location in the Eden Prairie Center in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota, in March 1994. In addition, since the beginning of 1995, the
Company has opened Kids Quest centers at the following locations:

    Grand Casino Coushatta                    Kinder, LA           January 1995
    Boulder Station Hotel & Casino            Las Vegas, NV        November 1995
    Ameristar Casino Council Bluffs           Council Bluffs, IA   June 1996
    Grand Casino Tunica                       Robinsonville, MS    August 1996
    Mohegan Sun Casino                        Uncasville, CT       October 1996
    Soaring Eagle Casino and Hotel            Mt. Pleasant, MI     December 1996
    Station Casino Kansas City                Kansas City, MO      January 1997
    Sunset Station                            Las Vegas, NV        June 1997
    Treasure Island Resort and Casino
      (dba New Horizon Hourly Care)           Red Wing, MN         June 1997
    Bullwhackers Casino/Silver Hawk Casino    Black Hawk, CO       June 1997

     During 1995 and 1996, the Company acquired an aggregate of twelve existing
child care centers in Boise, Idaho, which the Company now operates as New
Horizon Child Care centers. The Company opened its thirteenth New Horizon
location in August 1996 in a newly constructed facility.

     The Company expanded its product line by opening a supervised video
entertainment center in conjunction with its Kids Quest location at the Mohegan
Sun Casino. The Company has since added supervised video entertainment centers
at its Bullwhackers, Soaring Eagle and Treasure Island locations. With the
opening of the Tunica, Mississippi, Kids Quest location, the Company introduced
a retail area which features developmentally-appropriate educational products
and Kids Quest logo merchandise. The Company has since added similar retail
areas at its Eden Prairie and Kansas City locations. The Company plans to
continue to seek opportunities for additional retail and supervised video
entertainment center locations.

     The Company has experienced growth through acquisition and expansion. The
Company's business is seasonal with revenues and operating income for Kids Quest
being the highest and New Horizon Child Care being the lowest in the summer
months. Therefore, results of operations described below may not be indicative
of results to be achieved in any future period.


Results of Operations

     Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased $802,959, or
32%, to $3,348,092, from $2,545,133 for the same period in 1996. The increase in
revenue was due primarily to the eight Kids Quest locations which have opened
since the first quarter of 1996, which accounted for $990,531 of additional
revenues. Also, the addition of a new Idaho New Horizon Child Care center
accounted for $94,487 of additional revenues. Revenue for the eight existing
Kids Quest locations open during both periods decreased $198,864, or 12%. The
majority of the decrease is attributable to a decrease in marketing by the host
properties between periods. Revenue for the twelve existing Idaho New Horizon
Child Care centers, which were open during both periods, was down $83,195, or
10%. The Company attributes this decrease to initial decreases in enrollment due
to the Company's restructuring and repricing at the six centers acquired in
1996.

<PAGE>


     Revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, increased $1,961,460,
or 43%, to $6,491,737 in 1997 compared to $4,530,277 for the same period in
1996. This increase is due primarily to the addition of eight Kids Quest
locations since the beginning of 1996, which accounted for $1,880,776 of the
increase, and revenue from the seven New Horizon Child Care centers which were
acquired or built in 1996, which accounted for an additional $382,866 of the
increase. Existing Kids Quest centers' revenue decreased $256,065, or 13%,
between periods primarily from Grand Casino locations. Revenue from the six
existing Idaho New Horizon Child Care centers decreased $46,117, or 6%, between
periods.

     Costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased
$657,418, or 29%, to $2,916,541 in 1997 from $2,259,123 for the same period in
1996. The Company attributes the increase to the increase in the number of Kids
Quest and New Horizon Child Care centers operating between the two periods. As a
percentage of revenue, costs and expenses decreased to 87% in 1997 from 89% in
1996. Direct expenses before pre-opening costs and depreciation and amortization
decreased to 76% in 1997 from 80% for the same period in 1996.

     Costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased
$1,723,067, or 44%, to $5,618,219 in 1997 from $3,895,152 for the same period in
1996. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses increased to 87% in 1997 from
86% in 1996. However, direct expenses before pre-opening costs and depreciation
and amortization decreased to 77% in 1997 from 79% for the same period in 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $12,798, or
4%, to $311,032 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997, from $298,234
for the same period in 1996. As a percent of revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to
9% of revenue for the three month period in 1997 versus 12% for the same period
in 1996. Administrative salaries (excluding New Horizon Child Care - Idaho,
Inc.) decreased $24,817, or 22%, to $86,987 for the three month period in 1997
versus $111,804 for the same period in 1996. The Company expects SG&A expenses
to increase with the addition of and negotiation for new locations, but such
expenses will continue decrease as a percentage of revenue with the continued
expansion of the Company's business.

     SG&A expenses decreased $92,027, or 13%, for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997, to $638,876 from $730,903 for the same period in 1996.
Administrative salaries (excluding New Horizon Child Care - Idaho, Inc.)
decreased $42,182, or 20%, to $173,082 in 1997 from $215,264 for the same period
in 1996.

     Pursuant to the terms of many of its contracts with casino operators, the
Company receives certain child care rate subsidies. The Company received
$284,317 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997, versus $388,411 for the
same period in 1996, which amounts are reflected in total revenue. For the six
month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company received $555,461 versus $745,841
for the same period in 1996. The majority of theses subsidies were from Grand
Casinos, Inc. Due to a price increase to the public at the Grand Casino
locations, such subsidies were reduced beginning in the third quarter of 1996.
There can be no assurance that such subsidies will not be additionally modified
or discontinued, or that the Company will obtain such subsidies in future Kids
Quest arrangements with Grand Casinos or other casinos. The Company has executed
agreements to develop Kids Quest centers that do not provide any subsidy payment
from the related casinos.

     Interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 1997, increased
$40,779, or 134%, to $71,265 from $30,486 for the same period in 1996. Of the
$71,265 of interest expense incurred in 1997, $27,917 relates to acquisition
indebtedness for Idaho New Horizon Child Care centers. The remainder relates to
debt incurred for the expansion of Kids Quest centers.

     Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, increased
$66,518, or 130%, to $117,642 from $51,124 for the same period in 1996. $56,501
of the 1997 interest was acquisition indebtedness for Idaho New Horizon Child
Care centers with the remainder incurred for the expansion of Kids Quest
centers.

     Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 1997, was $66,966
compared to a net loss $32,190 for the same period in 1996. Net income for the
six month period ended June 30, 1997, was $152,115, compared to a loss of
$102,036 for the same period in 1996. Management attributes the improved
operating results to the addition of eight Kids Quest locations since the first
quarter of 1996 as well as improved operating results for its New Horizon Child
Care centers.

<PAGE>


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated $1,035,942
from operations, invested $971,605 in property and equipment, issued a note
receivable to Station Casinos, Inc. for $500,492 relating to the Kansas City
Kids Quest location, as well as received payment on notes receivable of
$136,149. The Company borrowed $1,735,574 to fund expansion, as well as to pay
off its bank line of credit of $514,509 and other principal payments of
$229,502. During the same period in 1996, the Company generated $237,033 from
operations, invested $1,108,084 for the purchase of property and equipment and
purchased child care centers (net of notes payable) for $472,886. The Company
issued a note receivable for $276,224 and received payments of $18,901.
Additionally, in 1996, the Company made payments on long-term obligations of
$44,390 and received $2,000 from the issuance of stock.

     Based upon current commitments, the Company believes that its current cash,
funds from operations and the availability of credit facilities will be adequate
to fund the Company's capital needs through the end of 1997. If, however, the
Company secures additional Kids Quest contracts or otherwise commits to acquire
or develop additional child care centers, the Company will require additional
financing. The Company currently has no commitments for such financing.
