Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and operating results for the interim periods. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission April 15, 2003, which includes
audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, may not be
indicative of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation- Transition and Disclosure". This statement amends SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide alternative methods of
transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the
disclosure provision of SFAS 123 to require more prominent disclosure about the
effects of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based
employee compensation on reported net income. The effective date for this
Statement is for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002.
The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements as the Company continues to account for stock
based compensation under the intrinsic value approach, and follows the pro-forma
disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148.

Note 8 - Subsequent Event
In February 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its officers
to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Equity Corp. Holdings, Inc. which
owns MRS Equity Corp. The purchase price was $250,000. In addition, the Company
also assumed a $4,750,000 note payable due to the Company's Chairman of the
Board and majority shareholder. This liability arose from the officers'
redemption of 90% ownership of Equity Corp. Holdings, Inc. of the Chairman of
the Board and majority shareholder in June 2002.
In February 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with the Company's
Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder to purchase all of the
outstanding shares of Whitney Leadership Group, Inc. The purchase price for this
transaction was $1,200,000.
The Company expects these transactions to close in May 2003. Both agreements are
subject to a number of contingencies, including due diligence and a fairness
opinion acceptable to the Company's legal counsel.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.
None of the Company's business is subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Revenues: Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was
$13,303,839, a decrease of $2,149,179 or 13.9% compared to the same period in
2002 of $15,453,018. The advance training courses sold exceeded the advance
training courses attended by $5,869,609, and consequently, this excess revenue
amount was required to be deferred to future periods. In addition, during the
year 2001, the Company changed its policy regarding contract expirations and
began recognizing revenue at the time when contracts expire.
Advertising and Sales Expense: Advertising and sales expense, of which
advertising represents approximately 60% of these expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2003, was $4,540,615, an increase of $1,466,348 or 47.7%
compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in Advertising and Sales
expense is due to an increase in media buys due to the expansion in the number
of events being held by the Teach Me To Trade division, and by the increased
events in the United Kingdom. Also advertising and sales expenses increased due
to recognizing those expenses that gave rise to the deferred revenues this
period and conversely, the company was not able to recognize those revenues
which were deferred to future periods under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
General and Administrative expenses increased to $3,836,939 an increase of
$885,446, or 30% over the comparable period in 2002 of $2,951,493. This increase
is due primarily to increased personnel hired in the quarter to handle the
increase in the Company's volume, and management bonuses issued for the first
quarter of 2003 which approximated $650,000.
Seminar expenses increased proportionately in comparison with the increase in
sales for the first quarter of 2003 to $7,574,372 an increase of $1,426,169 or
23.2% over the prior comparable period in 2002. This increase is consistent with
the increase in sales.
Net Loss for the three months ending March 31, 2003 was $1,411,379 as compared
with a net income of $3,371,041 for the three months ending March 31, 2002, a
decrease of $4,782,420 or 141.9% or -$.17 per share as compared to $.43 per
share for the prior period. The decrease is directly attributable to the
increase in deferred revenues in 2003 over the prior period, the decrease in the
amount of revenue recognized due to expirations, increased general and
administrative expenses and a proportionate increase in advertising expenses.
Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was ($1,303,915) and
$3,474,777 respectively. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income
taxes, and interest, plus depreciation and amortization. Net (loss) income per
share was -$.15 for the three months ending March 31, 2003 as compared to net
income of $.43 per share for the prior year period ending March 31, 2002.
More than 24,000 new students register for one or more of the Company's programs
each month. The Company's success can also be attributed to the fact that a
large percentage of its gross annual revenue can be attributed to repeat
business, a factor that also indicates students find its training is effective.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's capital requirements consist primarily of working capital, capital
expenditures and acquisitions. Historically, the Company has funded its working
capital and capital expenditures using cash and cash equivalents on hand. Cash
increased by $3,704,948 to $15,785,501, compared to an increase of $4,597,947 in
the previous comparable period in 2002.
The Company's cash provided by operating activities was $3.92 million and $5.00
million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In the
first quarter 2002, cash flows from advanced training programs were positively
impacted by the increased collection efforts by the sales associates
accompanying the instructors and trainers at the training locations.
The Company's cash used in investing activities was $183,120 and $366,227 for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company's
investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were
primarily attributable to the purchase of office property and equipment and
related party transactions described in the accompanying financial statements.
The following reflects our commitments for capital expenditures, debt and
other commitments.
