1. ORGANIZATION & OPERATIONS

         American Lawyer Media, Inc. (the "Company") is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of American Lawyer Media Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). The Company
publishes legal publications, including The American Lawyer, New York Law
Journal, The National Law Journal and Corporate Counsel. The Company's
operations are based in New York with regional offices in nine states, the
District of Columbia and London, England.

        On January 31, 2001, the Company consummated the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets and certain of the liabilities of Haslam
Publications ("Haslam"). Haslam is the leading publisher of jury verdict and
settlement research data in California.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. 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, the interim financial
statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that
management considers necessary to fairly present the financial position and the
results of operations for such periods. Results of operations of interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for December 31, 2000.

Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American
Lawyer Media, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries which, unless the context
otherwise requires, are collectively referred to herein as the "Company".
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Concentrations of Credit Risk

        The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts
receivable. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risk related to cash and cash equivalents. Concentrations of credit risk with
respect to trade accounts receivable are, except for amounts due from legal

                                   (UNAUDITED)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

advertising agents, generally limited due to the large number of customers
comprising the Company's customer base. Legal advertising agents do not have
significant liquid net worth and, as a result, the Company is exposed to a
certain level of credit concentration risk in this area, for which the Company
believes it has adequately provided.

Revenue Recognition

        Periodical advertising revenues are generated from the placement of
display and classified advertisements, as well as legal notices, in the
Company's publications. Advertising revenue is recognized upon release of the
related publications.

        Periodical subscription revenues are recognized on a pro rata basis as
issues of a subscription are served.

        Ancillary products and services revenues consist principally of
third-party printing revenues, newsletter subscriptions, sales of professional
books and seminar and trade show revenues and income from a daily fax service of
court decisions. Printing revenues are recorded upon shipment. Book revenues are
recognized upon shipment and are reflected net of estimated returns. Newsletter
revenues are recognized on the same basis as periodical subscription revenues.
Seminar and trade show revenues are recognized when the seminar or trade show is
held. Daily fax service revenue is recognized upon fulfillment of orders.

Deferred Subscription Income

        Deferred subscription income results from advance payments or orders for
subscriptions received from subscribers and is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the subscription as issues are served. Subscription
receivables of approximately $2,790,500 and $2,631,500 are included in accounts
receivable in the accompanying consolidated June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000
balance sheets, respectively.

Advertising and Promotion Expenditures

        Advertising and promotion expenditures totaled approximately $1,863,300
and $2,100,900 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
and $3,732,700 and $4,370,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. These costs are expensed as the related advertisement or campaign
is released.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers time deposits and certificates of deposit with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Inventories

        Inventories consist principally of paper and related binding materials
utilized by the Company and its outside printers and professional books
published and sold by the Company. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost,
as determined by the average cost method, or market.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets

        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of," the Company periodically reviews long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully
recoverable. Impairment of long-lived assets exists if, at a minimum, the future
expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from an entity's
operations are less than the carrying value of these assets. The Company does
not believe that any such impairment has occurred related to goodwill or
intangibles. Reference is made in Note 4 for write-downs taken on investments.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Significant
improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

<TABLE>
<S>                                     <C>
Buildings...........................     25 years
Furniture, machinery and equipment..    5-9 years
Computer equipment and software.....    3-6 years
</TABLE>

         Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining
lease term or the estimated useful life.

Goodwill

         Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
net assets acquired. It is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is
amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year useful life. The Company
periodically assesses the recoverability of goodwill by determining whether the
amortization of goodwill over its estimated remaining life can be recovered
through projected undiscounted future consolidated operating cash flows.

Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets represent advertiser commitments, uniform resource
locators, trademarks, copyrights, customer and subscriber lists and non-compete
agreements. They are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are
amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average useful life of
fifteen years.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

New Accounting Pronouncements

         On June 30, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS No. 141"), Business
Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No.
141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and eliminates the pooling
method of accounting. With adoption of SFAS No. 142, effective January 1, 2002,
goodwill will no longer be subject to amortization over its estimated useful
life. However, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for
impairment and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment.
Companies must perform a fair-value-based goodwill impairment test. In addition,
under SFAS 142, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if
the benefit of the intangible is obtained through contractual or other legal
rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented,
or exchanged. Intangible assets will be amortized over their useful lives. The
Company is assessing the impact of SFAS 142 and is evaluating whether or not the
Company may incur an impairment charge in accordance with the adoption of this
statement.

Income Taxes

        Income taxes are recognized during the year in which transactions enter
into the determination of financial statement income. Deferred taxes are
provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured pursuant to the tax
laws. The federal income tax benefit is recorded in the accompanying statement
of operations, reflecting the fact that the Company files a consolidated return
with its parent, Holdings.

3. DEBT

        On December 22, 1997, the Company issued $175,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 9.75% Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes") due December 15,
2007. The Senior Notes are unsecured general senior obligations of the Company
and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several and senior
unsecured basis, by each of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries. The
subsidiary guarantors comprise all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of
the Company and each of the subsidiary guarantors is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. Separate financial statements of, and other disclosures
concerning, the subsidiary guarantors are not included herein because of the
subsidiary guarantors' full and unconditional guarantee of the Senior Notes and
management's determination that separate financial statements and other
disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors are not material and would not
provide any additional meaningful disclosure. The Senior Notes may be redeemed
at any time by the Company, in whole or in part, at various redemption prices
that include accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes contain certain
covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional
indebtedness by the Company and its subsidiaries, the payment of dividends and
other restricted payments by the Company and its subsidiaries, asset sales,
transactions with affiliates, the incurrence of liens and mergers and
consolidations. Assuming there is no redemption of the Senior Notes prior to
maturity, the entire principal will be payable on December 15, 2007.

3.  DEBT (CONTINUED)

         On March 25, 1998, Holdings and the Company signed a credit agreement
with various banks that has a combined revolving commitment in the initial
principal amount of $40,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Financial
costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility 3. DEBT (CONTINUED) have
been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. The
Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by Holdings and by all subsidiaries of
the Company. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first
priority security interest in substantially all of the properties and assets of
the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including a pledge of all of the
stock of such subsidiaries, and a pledge by Holdings of all of the stock of the
Company. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate
determined by reference to (i) the base rate plus a margin ranging from .25% to
1.5%, or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.5%, as
the case may be. The applicable margin is based on the Company's total
consolidated leverage ratio. The base rate equals the higher of (a) the rate of
interest publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its
reference rate, or (b) the Federal funds rate plus .5%. The Eurodollar Rate is
based on (i) the interest rate per annum at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are
offered by Bank of America's applicable lending office to major banks in the
offshore market account in an aggregate principal amount approximately equal to
the amount of the loan made to the Company and (ii) the maximum reserve
percentage in effect under regulations issued from time to time by the Federal
Reserve Board. The Company is also required to pay customary fees with respect
to the Revolving Credit Facility, including an up-front arrangement fee, annual
administrative agency fees and commitment fees on the unused portion of the
Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility includes both
affirmative and negative covenants that include meeting certain financial
ratios. Assuming there is no repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility prior to
term, the entire amount will be payable on March 31, 2003.

        Effective March 29, 1999, Holdings and the Company amended the Revolving
Credit Facility to limit the Company's ability to borrow in excess of
$20,000,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility until certain ratios are
achieved. This amendment also adjusted certain covenants contained in the
original Revolving Credit Facility.

        Effective July 20, 1999, the Revolving Credit Facility was further
amended to permit the sale of the Company's Internet business to Law.com and to
modify certain debt covenants. Effective March 28, 2000, the Revolving Credit
Facility was further amended to modify certain of the debt covenants, to permit
the sale of the Company's business constituting The Daily Deal and Corporate
Control Alert to The Deal, L.L.C. and to increase the revolver limit described
above from $20 million to $22.5 million.

        Effective January 10, 2001, the Revolving Credit Facility was further
amended to modify certain of the covenants, to permit the Haslam Publications
acquisition and to increase the borrowing limit described above from $22.5
million to $29.0 million.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2001
                                   (UNAUDITED)


3. DEBT (CONTINUED)

        Effective August 10, 2001, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to
permanently reduce the aggregate revolving commitment to $29 million as well as
to waive compliance with certain of the covenants at June 30, 2001. The Company
and lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility will discuss further amendments
to the Revolving Credit Facility.

        At June 30, 2001, the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility was $27.2 million. The available balance under the unused commitment is
reduced by any letters of credit outstanding, which totaled $1,121,000 at June
30, 2001. A 10% increase in the average interest rate of borrowing under the
Revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2001 would have
increased the Company's net loss to approximately $15,360,000.

4. OTHER LOSS (INCOME)

         During the second quarter of 2001, the Company wrote off certain
investments as the decline in value of these investments has been deemed to be
other than temporary. This write-down of $4.7 million has been included in other
(loss) income.

5. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

         During the second quarter of 2001, upon the announcement of its plan
to restructure certain of its operations, the Company accrued approximately
$1.7 million of restructuring charges. These charges primarily relate to
severance arrangements and have been included in operating income. As of June
30, 2001, approximately $1.3 million representing the unpaid charges has been
included in accrued expenses.

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

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes
thereto, included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

        Any statements in this quarterly report concerning the Company's
business outlook or future economic performance, anticipated profitability,
revenues, expenses or other financial items, together with other statements that
are not historical facts, are "forward-looking statements" as that term is
defined under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those states in such statements. Such risks,
uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the levels
of advertising revenues, changes and delays in new product introductions,
customer acceptance of new products and general economic conditions, as well as
other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

OVERVIEW

        The following discussion compares the financial results of the Company
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 to the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000.

        In February 2000, the Company discontinued publication of four of its
weekly newsletters. In July 2000, the Company discontinued publication of the
remaining two weekly newsletters.

        On March 28, 2000, the Company sold the business of the Company and
certain of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries constituting The Daily Deal
and Corporate Control Alert (the "Business") to The Deal, L.L.C., a limited
liability company (the "Purchaser"), owned by substantially all of the same
stockholders as Holdings. The consideration for the sale was $7.5 million in
cash and $2.5 million face amount of a membership interest in the Purchaser (the
"Preferred Membership Interest"). The Preferred Membership Interest is included
in Other Assets on the Balance Sheet. The Preferred Membership Interest accrues
at 12.25% compounded annually and is convertible into 3.0% of the common equity
of the Purchaser. In addition, the Purchaser paid the Company $1.68 million,
representing the aggregate amount of operating losses incurred by the Company in
connection with the operation of the Business for the month of March 2000. Due
to the entire nature of the transaction, the Company has fully reserved against
the Preferred Membership Interest from inception to the dividend date in Other
Assets on the Balance Sheet.

        On May 15, 2000, the Company consummated the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets and certain of the liabilities of Moran
Publishing Company, Inc., the leading publisher of jury verdict and settlement
research data in New York State.

        On December 27, 2000, the Company consummated the acquisition of rights
and related assets relating to two leading regional trade shows in the United
Kingdom from Nationwide Exhibitions (UK) Ltd. Under the agreement, the Company
has purchased rights and related assets for Solicitors, The National Legal
Office and Legal Services Exhibition and The National Accountancy Exhibition.

        On January 31, 2001, the Company consummated the acquisition
substantially all of the assets of and certain of the liabilities of Haslam
Publications ("Haslam"), the leading publisher of jury verdict and settlement
research data in California.

        During the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a one-time
restructuring charge of $1.7 million resulting from the elimination of 70 full
time positions including the Company's Chief Financial Officer. Restructuring
component costs primarily consisted of severance, related payroll taxes and
outside consulting services. At June 30, 2001, $0.4 million was charged against
the recorded accrual.

        During the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a permanent
impairment of $4.7 million on its private equity investments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
2000

        Overview. Revenues decreased by $2.7 million, or 3.4%, from $79.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $76.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. Total operating costs and expenses decreased $2.5
million, or 3.1%, from $80.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to
$78.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. As a result, the net
operating loss totaled $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to a net operating loss of $1.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. "EBITDA" is defined as income before interest, income tax,
depreciation and amortization and other (loss) income. EBITDA increased $0.5
million, or 4.3%, from $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to
$13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Total operating costs and
EBITDA for 2001 include a $1.7 million pre-tax charge resulting from the
restructuring within the Company. Excluding this restructuring charge, total
operating costs during the current year would have decreased $4.2 million, or
5.2%, and EBITDA would have increased $2.2 million, or 17.4%, during the current
year over the same period during the prior year. Excluding the restructuring
charge, the operating profit and the increase in EBITDA during 2001 resulted
primarily from operating costs declining at a quicker pace than revenue.

         Revenue declines for the six months ended June 2001 from the six months
ended June 30, 2000 primarily resulted from lower content licensing fees and
royalty fees, the elimination of $0.5 million of revenue resulting from the sale
of The Daily Deal in the first quarter of 2000 and the discontinuation of the
weekly newsletter division in 2000 along with declines in advertising and
subscription revenue. Partially offsetting this decline are increased revenues
realized in new publications and the Company's acquisitions during 2000 and
2001. Lower operating costs during 2001 were realized in the editorial, selling
and general and administrative expense categories partially offset by higher
production expense along with increased depreciation and amortization. Lower
operating costs primarily resulted from the sale of The Daily Deal and the
discontinuation of the weekly newsletter division, direct cost related to the
reduction of revenue and cost containment efforts by the Company. This decrease
in operating costs was partially offset by increased costs related to new
publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001 along with the
restructuring charge recorded in June 2001.

        Revenues. Advertising revenues decreased $0.4 million, from $45.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $44.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The year over year decline in advertising revenue
primarily resulted from a decrease in classified advertising revenue of $2.0
million across all of the Company's core publications. Also contributing to this
decline was a decrease in legal notice advertising of $0.2 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period last year.
Partially offsetting these declines were strong growth in law firm advertising,

                                       13
<PAGE>   16
which grew $1.6 million, or 34.0%, from $4.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 along with
increases in directories and consumer advertising. Growth in law firm
advertising resulted primarily from increased advertising pages, increased
frequency in two publications and new publications in 2001.

        Subscription revenues decreased $0.3 million, or 2.7%, from $11.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $11.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The decline in subscription revenue in 2001 resulted
primarily from slight declines throughout all of the Company's publications.

        Revenues from ancillary products decreased $2.0 million, or 8.7%, from
$22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $20.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2001. A decline in revenue from ancillary products
resulted primarily from lower content licensing and royalty fees and lower
domestic seminar and tradeshow revenue due to a decline in attendance. This
decline was partially offset by year over year revenue growth in information
services and overseas tradeshows acquired during 2000 and 2001.

        Operating costs and expenses. Total operating costs and expenses
decreased $2.5 million, or 3.1%, from $80.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 to $78.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Lower
operating costs during 2001 were realized in the editorial, selling and general
and administrative expense categories but were partially offset by higher
production and distribution costs along with increased depreciation and
amortization. Included in operating costs for 2001 is a one time restructuring
charge of $1.7 million. Excluding this charge, total operating costs decreased
$4.2 million, or 5.2%. Lower operating costs of $6.2 million primarily resulted
from the sale of The Daily Deal and the discontinuation of the weekly newsletter
division, along with savings from cost containment efforts by the Company. This
decrease in operating costs was partially offset by increased costs related to
new publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001. The new
acquisitions commenced in 2000 and 2001 are fully reflected in the results for
the six months ended June 30, 2001, while the results for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 only had a portion of those expenses.

        Editorial expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 13.9%, from $13.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $11.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. The decrease primarily resulted from reduced editorial costs of
$2.5 million from the sale of The Daily Deal and Corporate Control Alert in
early 2000 along with the discontinuation of the weekly newsletter division in
2000. This decrease was partially offset by increased costs of $0.5 million
related to new publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001.

        Production and distribution expenses increased $0.5 million, or 3.3%,
from $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due to higher
costs of $1.3 million for new publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and
2001. Partially offsetting these increased costs were lower costs of $0.7
million from the sale of The Daily Deal and Corporate Control Alert in early
2000 along with the discontinuation of the weekly newsletter division in 2000.

        Selling expenses decreased $1.8 million, or 10.6%, from $16.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower selling costs of
$1.3 million from the sale of The Daily Deal and Corporate Control Alert in
early 2000 along with the discontinuation of the weekly newsletter division in
2000, which primarily reduced display advertising, circulation and telemarketing


                                       14
<PAGE>   17
selling expenses. In addition, lower overall circulation costs throughout the
Company were incurred, partially offset by increased costs related to new
publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001.

        General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 0.7%,
from $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $20.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2001. Included in general and administrative
expense for 2001 is the one time restructuring charge of $1.7 million. Excluding
this charge, general and administrative expense decreased $1.8 million, or 9.0%.
The decrease resulted from savings of $1.6 million from the sale of The Daily
Deal in the first quarter of 2000 and the discontinuation of the weekly
newsletter division. In addition, a reduction in corporate salaries and
incentives, bad debt and consulting costs contributed to the expense reduction
in 2001. Partially offsetting these reductions were higher costs related to new
publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001 along with increased
legal and professional fees.

        Depreciation and amortization increased $0.7 million, or 5.1%, from
$14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2001. Higher depreciation and amortization resulted
from system enhancements and upgrades, facilities and equipment modernization,
along with computer equipment purchases throughout 2000 and 2001. Acquisitions
in 2000 and the first quarter of 2001 also contributed to the year-over-year
increase in this category.

        Operating loss. As a result of the above factors, operating loss totaled
$1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to an operating
loss of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. EBITDA increased
$0.5 million, or 4.3%, from $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding the 2001
restructuring charge, the Company would have recorded an operating profit of
$0.1 million and EBITDA would have increased $2.2 million, or 17.4% during the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 over the same period during the prior year.

         Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June
30, 2000

        Overview. Revenues decreased by $2.9 million, or 7.1%, from $40.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $37.8 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001. Total operating costs and expenses increased $2.0 million,
or 5.3%, from $38.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $40.1 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. As a result, the net operating loss totaled
$2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as compared to an operating
profit of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. EBITDA decreased
$4.5 million, or 45.9%, from $9.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to
$5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Total operating costs and
EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 include a $1.7 million pre-tax charge
resulting from the restructuring within the Company. Excluding this
restructuring charge, total operating costs would have increased $0.3 million,
or 0.9% and EBITDA would have decreased $2.8 million, or 28.6% during the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 over the same period of the prior year. Excluding
the restructuring charge, the operating loss of $0.6 million and the decrease in
EBITDA during 2001 resulted primarily from the decline in total revenue.

         Revenue declines for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 from the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 primarily resulted from lower content licensing fees and
royalty fees, declines in advertising and subscription revenue and the
discontinuation of the weekly newsletter division. Partially offsetting this
decline are increased revenues from new publications and the Company's


                                       15
<PAGE>   18
acquisitions during 2000 and 2001. Higher operating costs during the three
months ended June 30, 2001 over the same period of the prior year primarily
resulted from a restructuring charge recorded in the second quarter of this year
along with increased costs related to new publications and acquisitions made
during 2000 and 2001 and increased depreciation and amortization. These
increases in operating costs were partially offset by lower editorial and
selling expenses.

        Revenues. Advertising revenues decreased $0.6 million, or 2.8%, from
$23.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $22.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decline in advertising revenue primarily
resulted from a decrease in classified advertising revenue of $1.5 million
across all of the Company's core publications. Also contributing to this decline
was a decrease in legal notice advertising of $0.3 million during the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 over the same period last year. Partially offsetting these
declines were strong growth in law firm advertising, which grew $0.9 million, or
34.4%, from $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $3.4 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001 along with increases in directories and consumer
advertising revenue. Growth in law firm advertising revenues resulted primarily
from increased advertising pages, increased frequency in two publications and
new publications in 2001.

        Subscription revenues decreased $0.2 million, or 3.3%, from $6.0 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $5.8 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2001. The decline in subscription revenue in 2001 resulted primarily from
slight declines throughout all of the Company' s publications.

        Revenues from ancillary products decreased $2.0 million, or 17.7%, from
$11.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $9.4 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001. A decline in revenue from ancillary products
resulted primarily from lower content licensing and royalty fees, lower book
revenue due to timing of book releases and lower domestic seminar and tradeshow
revenue due to a decline in attendance. This decline was partially offset by
revenue growth in information services and overseas tradeshows acquired during
2000 and 2001.

        Operating costs and expenses. Total operating costs and expenses
increased $2.0 million, or 5.3%, from $38.1 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 to $40.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Higher operating
costs during the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the second quarter of
2000 resulted primarily from a $1.7 million restructuring charge recorded in
June 2001 along with increased costs related to new publications and
acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001 and increased depreciation and
amortization. These increases in operating costs were partially offset by lower
editorial and selling expenses. Excluding the restructuring charge, total
operating costs increased $0.3 million, or 0.9%.

        Editorial expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 3.3%, from $6.0 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $5.8 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2001. The decrease resulted from reduced editorial costs due to the
discontinuation of the weekly newsletter division in 2000.

        Production and distribution expenses remained flat at $7.9 million for
both quarters ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001. Although there was no
overall change in this category, increased costs of $0.6 million were recorded
from new publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001 and were fully
offset by lower mechanical and distribution costs from the Company's book and
tradeshow divisions and various other publications.

        Selling expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 6.7%, from $7.7 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $7.2 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower selling costs of



                                       16
<PAGE>   19
$0.1 million from the discontinuation of the weekly newsletter division in
2000, lower classified advertising costs resulting from declines in classified
revenue along with reduced circulation and general marketing costs. Partially
offsetting this decline were higher costs of $0.2 million related to new
publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001.

        General and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million, or 24.7%,
from $9.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $11.7 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001. Included in general and administrative expense for
the second quarter 2001 is a restructuring charge of $1.7 million. Excluding
this charge, general and administrative expense increased $0.6 million, or 6.8%.
The increase resulted primarily from higher costs of $0.7 million related to new
publications and acquisitions made during 2000 and 2001, along with increased
legal and professional fees. These increases were partially offset by lower
corporate salary and incentive costs and savings from the discontinuation of the
weekly newsletter division in 2000.

        Depreciation and amortization increased $0.4 million, or 5.7%, from $7.1
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $7.5 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001. Higher depreciation and amortization resulted from system
enhancements and upgrades, facilities and equipment modernization, along with
computer equipment purchases throughout 2000 and 2001. Acquisitions in 2000 and
the first quarter of 2001 also contributed to the year-over-year increase in
this category.

        Operating loss. As a result of the above factors, the operating loss
totaled $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as compared to an
operating profit of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. EBITDA
decreased $4.5 million, or 45.9%, from $9.8 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 to $5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Total operating
loss and EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 include a $1.7 million
pre-tax charge resulting from the restructuring within the Company. Excluding
this restructuring charge, the Company would have recorded an operating loss of
$0.6 million and EBITDA would have decreased $2.8 million, or 28.6% during the
second quarter of 2001 over the same period during 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Capital expenditures. Capital expenditures decreased $1.8 million, or
51.8%, from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $1.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Capital expenditures for the
2000 period included costs of $0.4 million attributable to the Business prior to
its sale and higher costs relating to the initial outlay for the Company's
investment in new editorial and advertising systems to support new initiatives
and the expansion of existing products. Capital expenditures for 2001 primarily
result from database development, enhancements to existing computer systems and
facilities and equipment modernization.

        Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
which primarily reflects depreciation and amortization of $15.0 million, a
decrease of $4.7 million in investment of private equity securities, a decrease
in other assets of $0.6 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.2
million and an increase in non-cash interest of $0.4 million, partially offset
by a net loss of $15.3 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $3.8 million, a decrease in other non-current liabilities of $1.9
million and a decrease in deferred income of $0.7 million.
