<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 1 &#151; DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">Childtime Learning Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries (&#147;Childtime&#148; or the
&#147;Company&#148;) began operations in 1967, and operates for-profit childcare centers
in 27 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. On July&nbsp;19, 2002, the
Company acquired the assets of Tutor Time Learning Systems, Inc., a Florida
corporation (&#147;Tutor Time&#148;), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$22.8&nbsp;million, including acquisition costs, plus the assumption of certain
liabilities. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to an asset purchase
agreement dated June&nbsp;28, 2002, approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern
District of Florida and closed on July&nbsp;19, 2002. The Company purchased
substantially all of the operating assets and contract rights used by Tutor
Time in its child care operations, which were comprised of 198 company-owned
and franchised child care centers operating in 23 states and internationally,
and were purchased to improve the range of the Company&#146;s product offering and
to enter the child care franchise business. The Tutor Time centers are on
average newer and larger than Childtime&#146;s centers, and Tutor Time is one of the
largest franchisors in the child care industry. Additionally, the Company
gained access to approximately 34 sites that were under development, which have
opened or are expected to open as either franchise or corporate centers over
the next 18&nbsp;months. As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, Childtime operated 336 Company owned
centers and franchised an additional 131 centers with an aggregate licensed
capacity for over 50,000 children.

<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 2 &#151; ACQUISITION AND PRO FORMA INFORMATION</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">As previously mentioned, on July&nbsp;19, 2002, the Company acquired substantially
all of the assets of Tutor Time Learning Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation
(&#147;Tutor Time&#148;), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $22.8&nbsp;million,
including acquisition costs, plus the assumption of certain liabilities. In
consideration for providing investment advisory services with respect to the
acquisition, Jacobson Partners was paid an advisory fee consisting of a cash
payment of $333,336 and the issuance of 175,438 shares of common stock. These
costs have been capitalized as part of the acquisition costs. Jacobson Partners
is the management and financial consultant to the Company of which Benjamin R.
Jacobson, the Company&#146;s Chairman of the Board is the managing general partner,
James J. Morgan, the Company&#146;s former Chairman of the Board and interim Chief
Executive Officer, is a partner, and George A. Kellner, the Company&#146;s Vice
Chairman of the Board, is a special advisor.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Tutor Time acquisition was financed, in part, by Bank One, NA through its
secured credit facility with Childtime Childcare, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, as amended by the Second Amendment to Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (&#147;Second Amendment&#148;) dated as of July&nbsp;19, 2002.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">Subordinated loans (the &#147;Subordinated Notes&#148;) in the aggregate amount of $14
million were provided by a group of lenders organized by Jacobson Partners to
fund the balance of the Tutor Time acquisition purchase price and to provide
related working capital. The Subordinated Notes are subject to a Subordination
Agreement in favor of Bank One, NA, mature December&nbsp;31, 2004 and bear interest
at 15% of which 7% is payable in cash, with the balance payable in kind by the
issuance of additional subordinated notes (the &#147;Additional Subordinated Notes&#148;)
with interest and principal payable on the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or such
date on which the Company has consummated the Rights Offering (defined below),
provided that interest on the Subordinated Notes (including the Additional
Subordinated Notes and interest thereon) may be paid only to the extent the
aggregate proceeds of the Rights Offering exceeds $14&nbsp;million. If the Rights
Offering is not consummated, and the Company has not received net cash proceeds
(and/or cancelled Subordinated Notes) of at least $7.5&nbsp;million from the
issuance of common stock in such Rights Offering (the &#147;Minimum Equity Amount&#148;),
on or before July&nbsp;19, 2003, then until the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or the
date on which the Company consummates the Rights Offering and receives the
Minimum Equity Amount, all interest on the Subordinated Notes will be payable
by the issuance of Additional Subordinated Notes. Although Jacobson Partners
received no consideration for arranging this financing, lenders included JP
Acquisition Fund II, L.P. and JP Acquisition Fund III, L.P., entities
controlled and managed by affiliates of Jacobson Partners (for an aggregate of
$10,497,154), and three directors of the Company (Mr.&nbsp;Jacobson, Mr.&nbsp;Morgan and
Mr.&nbsp;Kellner) and trusts for the benefit of their children (for an aggregate of
$545,132).

<P><FONT size="2">In connection with the Tutor Time acquisition, JP Acquisition Fund II, L.P., JP
Acquisition Fund III, L.P., and certain of their co-investors (collectively,
the &#147;Optionees&#148;), including Messrs.&nbsp;Jacobson, Morgan and Kellner, agreed to
arrange for the Company to obtain a standby purchase commitment in connection
with the Company&#146;s proposed rights offering contemplated for the purpose of
refinancing the subordinated debt incurred by the Company in connection with
the Tutor Time acquisition (the &#147;Rights Offering&#148;). As consideration for
obtaining such commitment, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors
approved the grant to the Optionees of options to purchase, in the aggregate,
up to 400,000 shares of common stock, until July&nbsp;19, 2006, at an exercise price
of $5.00 per share. All shares acquired by the Optionees upon the exercise of
their options would be subject to registration rights, pursuant to which, until
July&nbsp;6, 2007, the Optionees would have the right to cause the Company to
register, at the Company&#146;s expense, their shares of common stock, whenever the
Company is otherwise registering shares (except in certain circumstances). The
option grant has been approved by the Company&#146;s shareholders.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Rights Offering is expected to take place during the first half of calendar
2003 and will refinance the subordinated debt incurred by the Company in
connection with the Tutor Time acquisition. As currently contemplated, 100,000
Rights Offering units (&#147;Units&#148;) will be offered, consisting in the aggregate of
$3.5&nbsp;million in principal amount of subordinated debentures and a number of
shares of common stock that, based on the formula described below, with the
issuance of the new subordinated debentures, would allow payment in full of the
Subordinated Notes (including the Additional Subordinated Notes) and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The offering price per share of the
common stock under the Rights Offering would be the four-week volume-weighted
average price of the common stock on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, prior to the
commencement date of the offering; provided, however, that if the one-week
volume-weighted average price of the common stock, calculated during the
one-week period immediately prior to the commencement date of the offering, was
more than 10% less than such four-week volume-weighted average price, the
offering price related to the common stock portion of the Rights Offering will
equal 110% of such one-week volume-weighted average price. Subject to certain
shareholder ownership requirements, all common shareholders as of the Rights
Offering record date will be able to participate in the offering and will be
allowed to acquire Units on a pro rata basis. The subordinated debentures will
bear interest at 15%, have a five-year maturity, and be redeemable by the
Company at any time at par, subject to restrictions under its senior lending
agreements. As indicated above, JP Acquisition Fund II, L.P., JP Acquisition
Fund III, L.P., and certain of their co-investors, including Messrs.&nbsp;Jacobson,
Morgan and Kellner, have provided a commitment to purchase all Units not
subscribed for in the Rights Offering up to an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes (including the Additional
Subordinated Notes) plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

pro forma adjustments were made to the historical Tutor Time corporate overhead
expenses ($2.3&nbsp;million for the 12&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;4, 2002 and $2.0&nbsp;million

<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 3 &#151; SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>Principles of Consolidation</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Childtime
Learning Centers, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and,
accordingly, include all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods represented
to fairly state the Company&#146;s financial condition, results of operations and
its cash flows, for the interim periods presented.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company&#146;s consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the 52&nbsp;weeks ended March&nbsp;29, 2002.
The results for the 12&nbsp;weeks and the 40&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003, are not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>Use of Estimates</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to render
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>Franchise Fees and Royalty Income</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">Franchise fees are recognized as revenue at the time the franchise center
receives a certificate of occupancy. Royalty income related to franchise
operations is recognized as revenue is earned by franchisees.

</FONT>


<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Fiscal Year</B>
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">The Company utilizes a 52-53&nbsp;week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to
March&nbsp;31. For fiscal years 2002 and 2003, the first quarter contained 16&nbsp;weeks,
and the fiscal year contained 52&nbsp;weeks.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 4 &#151; ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">Accounts receivable is presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. At
January&nbsp;3, 2003 and March&nbsp;29, 2002, the allowance for doubtful accounts was
$1.1&nbsp;million and $0.7&nbsp;million, respectively.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 5 &#151; REIMBURSABLE CONSTRUCTION COSTS</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">In connection with certain build-to-suit centers to be leased, the Company
enters into arrangements, whereby the Company accumulates costs during the
construction process and is then reimbursed by the developer. The Company has
various legal remedies available pursuant to the construction agreements to
minimize the risk of nonreimbursement. For the 40&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003,
and the year ended March&nbsp;29, 2002, the Company financed construction costs of
$0.0&nbsp;million and $0.9&nbsp;million, respectively, while related repayments received
under reimbursement agreements were $0.0&nbsp;million and $2.0&nbsp;million,
respectively.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 6 &#151; DRAFTS PAYABLE</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">Drafts payable represent unfunded checks drawn on zero balance accounts that
have not been presented for funding to the Company&#146;s banks. The drafts are
funded, without finance charges, as soon as they are presented. At January&nbsp;3,
2003 and March&nbsp;29, 2002, the aggregate drafts payable were $5.4&nbsp;million and
$4.0&nbsp;million, respectively.

<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 7 &#151; FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">On January&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company amended and restated its revolving line of
credit agreement by entering into a new $17.5&nbsp;million revolving line of credit
agreement with its existing lender. This credit agreement, as amended, will
mature on July&nbsp;31, 2003, and is secured by the Company&#146;s receivables, equipment
and real estate, with interest payable at a variable rate, at the Company&#146;s
option, based on either the prime rate or the Eurodollar rate. There were
outstanding borrowings of $12.6&nbsp;million at January&nbsp;3, 2003, and outstanding
borrowings of $2.5&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;29, 2002. Outstanding letters of credit
reduced the availability under the line of credit in the amount of $2.6&nbsp;million
at January&nbsp;3, 2003 and $1.8&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;29, 2002.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">Under this agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain financial
ratios and other financial conditions. In addition, there are restrictions on
the incurrence of additional indebtedness, disposition of assets and
transactions with affiliates. At July&nbsp;19, 2002 and at October&nbsp;11, 2002, the
Company had not maintained minimum consolidated EBITDA levels and had not
provided timely reporting as required by the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. The Company&#146;s lender approved waivers to the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement for financial results for the quarter ended October&nbsp;11, 2002.
The Company&#146;s noncompliance with the required consolidated EBITDA levels
continued as of January&nbsp;3, 2003. In February 2003, the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement was further amended, among other things, to revise the
financial covenants (including measuring them on a monthly basis) and to
shorten the maturity of the line of credit to July&nbsp;31, 2003. The Company is in
compliance with the agreement, as amended. The Company intends to extend and
further amend this agreement prior to its maturity date, but no assurance can
be given that the Company will be successful in doing so.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">As previously discussed, subordinated loans in the aggregate amount of $14
million were provided by a group of lenders organized by Jacobson Partners to
fund the balance of the Tutor Time acquisition purchase price and to provide
related working capital. The Subordinated Notes are subject to a Subordination
Agreement in favor of Bank One, NA, mature December&nbsp;31, 2004 and bear interest
at 15% of which 7% is payable in cash, with the balance payable in kind by the
issuance of Additional Subordinated Notes ($0.5&nbsp;million accrued and included in
Subordinated Notes), with interest and principal payable on the earlier of
December&nbsp;31, 2004 or such date on which the Company consummated the Rights
Offering (see Note 2), provided that interest on the Subordinated Notes
(including the Additional Subordinated Notes and interest thereon) may be paid
only to the extent the aggregate proceeds of the Rights Offering exceeds $14
million. If the Rights Offering is not consummated, and the Company has not
received net cash proceeds (and/or cancelled Subordinated Notes) of at least
$7.5&nbsp;million from the issuance of common stock in such Rights Offering (the
&#147;Minimum Equity Amount&#148;), on or before July&nbsp;19, 2003, then until the earlier of
December&nbsp;31, 2004 or the date on which the Company consummates the Rights
Offering and receives the Minimum Equity Amount, all interest on the
Subordinated Notes will be payable by the issuance of Additional Subordinated
Notes. Although Jacobson Partners received no consideration for arranging this
financing, lenders included JP Acquisition Fund II, L.P. and JP Acquisition
Fund III, L.P., entities controlled and managed by affiliates of Jacobson
Partners (for an aggregate of $10,479,154), and three directors of the Company
(Mr.&nbsp;Jacobson, Mr.&nbsp;Morgan and Mr.&nbsp;Kellner) and trusts for the benefit of their
children (for an aggregate of $545,132).

<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 8 &#151; CONTINGENCIES</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">During fiscal 2002, the Company decided not to pursue opening three new
build-to-suit centers after leases for these centers had been signed with the
developer of the centers. The Company was subsequently sued by the developer
for breach of contract. This case was settled at the end of fiscal 2002, and a
current liability was recorded on the balance sheet as of March&nbsp;29, 2002 in the
amount of $0.8&nbsp;million, which was paid during first quarter 2003.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Company is primarily liable on approximately $1.0&nbsp;million for lease
assignments already negotiated in connection with certain lease terminations
resulting from the fiscal 2001 restructuring program (see Note 12). The Company
has recorded a liability for estimates of future liabilities under these
leases. A subsidiary of the Company is primarily or contingently liable for
many of the leases of Tutor Time&#146;s franchisees. In an effort to build its
franchisee network, Tutor Time either leased the prospective site for a
franchisee, with a subsequent sublease of the site to the franchisee, or
provided a lease guarantee to the landlord for the benefit of the franchisee in
exchange for a monthly lease guarantee fee payable by the franchisee that is
based upon the monthly rent expense of the guaranteed lease. The liability is
approximately $99.0&nbsp;million related to leases and $15.7&nbsp;million related to
guarantees. The leases have durations from 1-20&nbsp;years. The Company would be
required to pay the related lease obligations in the case of default by the
franchisee. Should the Company be required to make payments under these
leases, it may assume obligations for operating the center. Should the center
not be economically viable, the Company will make provision for the lease
termination at that time. The Company has taken over operations for a center
previously operated by a franchisee as a result of a default under the
franchisee&#146;s lease and intends to continue to operate this center. Other than
with respect to the foregoing center, the Company has not been notified that it
will be required to make payments under any of these leases or guarantees, does
not believe that any payments are likely and has not recorded any related
liability.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">In addition, various legal actions and other claims are pending or could be
asserted against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties; the
outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance, and
it is reasonably possible that some of these matters may be decided unfavorably
to the Company. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if
any, with respect to these matters will not materially affect the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

<P><FONT size="2"><B>NOTE 9 &#151; OPTION GRANTS AND PAYMENTS FOR CONSULTING SERVICES</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">In July 2000, the Company retained Jacobson Partners, of which Benjamin R.
Jacobson, the Company&#146;s Chairman of the Board, is the managing general partner,
to provide management and financial consulting services. As part of the
consideration to be paid to, and to add further incentive for such services,
Jacobson Partners was granted stock options to purchase 557,275 shares.
Jacobson Partners has exercised options totaling 294,117 shares at a cost of
$2,500,000. The remaining 263,158 shares expired in July 2002. Additionally,
Jacobson Partners receives an annual consulting fee in the amount of $250,000,
plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In connection with the
Tutor Time acquisition, Jacobson Partners was paid an advisory fee consisting
of $333,336 and the issuance of 175,438 shares, and options were granted to
certain related parties to acquire up to 400,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common
stock (see Note 2 &#147;Acquisition and Pro Forma Information&#148;). Total expenses
incurred for Jacobson Partners (exclusive of the Tutor Time fee) were $192,500
and $192,500 for the 40&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003 and January&nbsp;4, 2002,
respectively, and are included in General and administrative expense in the
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s former Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer
was granted 60,000 options in January 2001. As initially granted, the options
have a $7.00 exercise price, vest at the rate of 10,000 per month and expire
January 2003. After the executive was appointed Chairman of the Board in August
2001, these options were extended to expire in September 2006. At that time, he
was also granted an additional 50,000 options. These additional options have an
$11.00 exercise price, vest after one year and expire in September 2006.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The former interim Chief Financial Officer was granted 10,000 options in March
2001. The options have a $7.97 exercise price, vest evenly over 3&nbsp;years and
expire in March 2007. In September 2001, the executive was granted an
additional 20,000 options. These additional options have an $11.00 exercise
price, vest after one year and expire in September 2006. As a result of these
stock option grants, the Company recorded additional compensation expense of
$18,004 at fiscal year end 2002.

<P><FONT size="2">The Company provides for income taxes in accordance SFAS No.&nbsp;109, <I>Accounting
for Income Taxes</I>, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">Due to continued losses and uncertainties, the Company has determined that it
is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered
through future taxable income. As a result, a valuation reserve has been
provided reducing deferred tax assets to an amount recoverable through the
reversal of deferred tax liabilities or through carryback to prior tax years.
Deferred taxes are as follows (in thousands):

</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">During the second quarter of 2003, the Company completed the implementation of
SFAS 142, <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</I>. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no
longer amortized. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are
tested for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. In
accordance with its impairment policy, the Company employed a discounted cash
flow analysis in conducting its impairment tests as of the beginning of fiscal 2003. The Company completed its impairment test and recorded an impairment loss
of $5.0&nbsp;million (net of a tax benefit of $0.9&nbsp;million) as a cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle. In addition, as a result of continuing
weakening economic conditions, the Company tested for goodwill impairment as of
October&nbsp;11, 2002, and recorded an impairment loss during the second quarter of
$4.2&nbsp;million.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, the Company did not amortize
goodwill for the quarter and 40&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003. If goodwill
amortization had not been recorded for the quarter and 40&nbsp;weeks ended January
4, 2002, net loss would have decreased $0.4 and $1.4&nbsp;million to an adjusted net
loss of ($0.1) and ($0.2) million, respectively.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets for
the 40&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003 were as follows (in thousands):

<P><FONT size="2">(1)&nbsp; Additions relate to the July&nbsp;19, 2002 acquisition of Tutor Time Learning
Systems, Inc.

</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">Estimated amortization of intangible assets is expected to be $0.5 million for fiscal 2003 and approximately $0.7 million for each of the next four years.
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">Due to the continuing weakening economic conditions, the Company tested for
long-lived asset impairment, which consists primarily of equipment, leasehold
improvements and other assets, as of October&nbsp;11, 2002, in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 144, <I>Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets</I>. The Company employed a cash flow analysis in conducting its impairment
test. The Company completed its impairment test and recorded an impairment loss
of $3.5&nbsp;million, which impacted the Childtime reporting segment.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Note 14 &#151; SEGMENT INFORMATION</B>
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">The Company has three reportable segments: Childtime, Tutor Time and Franchise
Operations. Childtime operates childcare centers primarily under the Childtime
Learning Centers brand name, Tutor Time operates childcare centers under the
Tutor Time brand name and Franchise Operations licenses and provides
developmental and administrative support to franchises operating under the
Tutor Time brand name. The accounting polices of the segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
Company&#146;s reportable segments are reported separately because the Company&#146;s
chief operating decision maker uses the segment information in determining the
allocation of resources among segments and appraising the performance of the
segments.

<P><FONT size="2">The Company has continued to experience operating losses for the past six
quarters. As described in Note 7, the Company has not maintained minimum
consolidated EBITDA levels required by the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. The Company continues steps to improve the profitability of its
operations through pricing, more effective labor management and expense control
and efforts aimed at boosting enrollment. These measures resulted in
improvements in operating results for the third quarter, and have resulted in
additional improvements in operating results in the first period of the fourth
quarter.

$3.0&nbsp;million of notional amount was outstanding with a maturity date of
November, 2005. This contract provides for the Company to pay interest at a
fixed rate of 3.02% in return for receiving interest at a floating rate of 3
month LIBOR, which is reset in three month intervals. The fair value of
interest rate swap agreements is subject to changes in value due to changes in
interest rates. During the 12&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003, the Company
recognized a loss of $46,000 as a result of a decline in the market value of
the outstanding interest rate contract.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.&nbsp;142,
<I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</I>, effective for fiscal years beginning
after December&nbsp;15, 2001. Under the new standard, goodwill and intangible assets
deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will be
subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other
intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The
Company completed its impairment test during the second quarter of 2003 and
recorded an impairment loss of $5.0&nbsp;million as a cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle. In addition, as a result of continuing weakening
economic conditions, the Company tested for goodwill impairment as of October
11, 2002, and recorded an impairment loss during the second quarter of $4.2
million.

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations </I>was issued in August
2001, and addresses legal obligations (arising from laws, statutes, contracts,
etc.) that an entity must satisfy when disposing of tangible, long-lived
assets. The standard requires entities to record the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The
Company is evaluating the impact this Statement will have on its consolidated
financial statements and is anticipating the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;143 in the
first quarter of Fiscal 2004.

<P><FONT size="2">SFAS No.&nbsp;144, <I>Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets</I>
was issued in July 2001, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for
the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supercedes SFAS
No.&nbsp;121 on the same topic and establishes an accounting model for the
impairment of long-lived assets. The Company employed a cash flow analysis in
conducting its impairment test. The Company completed its impairment test and
recorded an impairment loss of $3.5&nbsp;million during the second quarter of 2003.

No.&nbsp;13, <I>Accounting for Leases</I>, to eliminate an inconsistency between the
required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting
for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The Company
adopted this Statement during the first quarter of Fiscal 2003 which had no
significant effect on the Company.

the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements from the date of opening or
acquisition and through the date of disposition, except for those centers treated as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144. The timing of
such new openings, acquisitions or dispositions could influence comparisons of
year over year results. These comparisons were particularly influenced by the
Company&#146;s acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Tutor Time Learning
Systems, Inc., a Florida Corporation (Tutor Time), on July&nbsp;19, 2002.

<P><FONT size="2"><I>Revenues, net</I>. Net revenues for third quarter 2003 increased $12.4&nbsp;million, or
40.3%, from the same period last year to $43.3&nbsp;million. The increase was
primarily a result of additional revenues of $10.4&nbsp;million contributed by Tutor
Time centers and $1.3&nbsp;million contributed by Franchise Operations, both of
which were acquired at the end of first quarter 2003. Childtime center revenues
increased $0.7&nbsp;million, with continuing center revenue increases of $1.3
million partially offset by the loss of revenues from closed centers of $0.6
million. Comparable Childtime center revenues, defined as centers opened 18
months or longer, increased $1.3&nbsp;million or 4.2%. Net revenues for year to
date 2003 increased $22.7&nbsp;million, or 20.8%, from the same period last year to
$131.9&nbsp;million. The increase was the result of additional revenues of $20.9
million contributed by Tutor Time centers and $2.4&nbsp;million contributed by
Franchise Operations. Childtime center revenues decreased $0.6&nbsp;million, with
continuing center revenue increases of $1.9&nbsp;million offset by the loss of

<P><FONT size="2"><I>Operating expenses of Learning Centers. </I>Operating expenses in third quarter
2003 increased $9.5&nbsp;million, or 34.5%, from the same period last year to $37.1
million. The increase was a result of additional operating expenses of $10.0
million for Tutor Time centers, offset by a decrease of operating expenses of
$0.5&nbsp;million for closed Childtime centers. Operating expenses for continuing
Childtime centers were unchanged for third quarter 2003, with increases in
personnel and occupancy costs offset by decreases in other center operating
expenses. Operating expenses as a percentage of Revenue from Learning Center
Operations decreased to 88.4% for third quarter 2003 from 89.5% from the same
period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the closing in
fiscal 2002 of unprofitable centers which were not included in discontinued
operations since they would not be considered under the scope of SFAS 144.
Operating expenses year to date 2003 increased $22.6&nbsp;million, or 23.6%, from
the same period last year to $118.5&nbsp;million. The increase was a result of
additional operating expenses of $21.2&nbsp;million for Tutor Time centers and an
increase of operating expenses of $1.4&nbsp;million for Childtime centers (a $3.7
million increase in continuing Childtime centers offset by a decrease from
closed centers of $2.3&nbsp;million). The operating expenses increase for Childtime
centers was primarily in personnel, as pay increases  were implemented prior to
tuition price increases, and occupancy costs that rose with inflation on
comparable revenues. Year to date 2003 operating expenses as a percentage of
Revenue from Learning Center Operations increased to 91.5%, from 87.8% in the
same period last year. This increase was a result of higher operating costs in
second quarter 2003, primarily in the acquired Tutor Time centers, costs
incurred in center openings and closings, and higher personnel costs.

<P><FONT size="2"><I>Gross profit</I>. Gross profit in the third quarter 2003 increased $2.9&nbsp;million,
or 89.7%, from the same period last year to $6.2&nbsp;million.
The increase was attributable to $0.4&nbsp;million contributed by Tutor Time
centers, $1.3&nbsp;million contributed by Franchise Operations and $1.2&nbsp;million
contributed by Childtime centers. Gross profit percentages for the third quarter 2003
by segment were 14.1% for Childtime centers (as compared to 10.5% for 2002),
16.4% for Tutor Time centers and 100.0% for Franchise Operations. The increase
in Childtime centers gross profit is attributable to increased continuing
center revenue of $1.3&nbsp;million and the decrease of operating expenses of $0.5
million for closed centers, partially offset by the loss of revenues from
closed centers of $0.6&nbsp;million. Gross profit for year to date 2003 increased $0.1
million, or 0.8%, from the same period last year to $13.4&nbsp;million. The increase
was attributable to $2.4&nbsp;million contributed by Franchise Operations offset by
($0.3) contributed by Tutor Time centers and ($2.0) contributed by
Childtime centers. Gross profit percentages for year to date 2003 by segment
were 10.3% for Childtime centers (as compared to 12.2% for 2002), 9.9% for
Tutor Time centers and 100.0% for Franchise Operations. The decrease in the
Childtime centers gross profit is attributable to decreased Childtime center revenues
and increased operating expenses primarily in personnel, as pay increases were
implemented prior to tuition price increases, and occupancy costs that rose
with inflation on comparable revenues.

third quarter 2003 increased $2.0&nbsp;million, or 78.4%, from the same period last

administrative costs incurred by Tutor Time operations, $0.2&nbsp;million for higher
costs associated with the establishment of regional offices, and compensation
arrangements associated with executive leadership. Year to date 2003 expenses
increased $4.0&nbsp;million, or 47.6%, from the same period last year to $12.4

In accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</I>,
effective in fiscal 2003, goodwill is no longer amortized. This resulted in a
reduction of amortization expense of $0.4&nbsp;million for the current quarter,
which was offset by depreciation and amortization of $0.3&nbsp;million attributable
to the Tutor Time centers. Year to date 2003 expenses decreased $0.7&nbsp;million
from the same period last year to $2.8&nbsp;million. This was a result of a

<P><FONT size="2"><B>LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s primary cash requirements currently consist of its funding of
losses from operations, expenses associated with planned center openings,
repayment of debt, maintenance and capital improvement of existing Learning
Centers, and funding lease termination costs in conjunction with its
restructuring program. The Company expects to fund cash needs through the
revolving credit facility, described below, and cash generated from operations,
although alternative forms of funding continue to be evaluated and new
arrangements may be entered into in the future. The Company experienced
decreased liquidity during the recent calendar year-end holidays due to
decreased attendance. While new enrollments are generally highest during the
traditional fall &#147;back to school&#148; period and after the calendar year-end
holidays, enrollment generally decreases during the summer months and calendar
year-end holidays. Should cash flow generated from operations and borrowings
available under the revolving credit facility not be adequate to provide for
its working capital and debt service needs, the Company will attempt to make
other arrangements to provide needed liquidity. While the Company is pursuing
other arrangements, no assurance can be given that such sources of capital will
be sufficient.

<P><FONT size="2">On July&nbsp;19, 2002, the Company acquired the assets of Tutor Time, for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $22.8&nbsp;million, including acquisition
costs, plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The assets acquired by the
Company consisted of substantially all of the operating assets and contract
rights used by Tutor Time in its child care operations, which were comprised of
198 company-owned and franchised child care centers operating in 23 states and
internationally, and were purchased to improve the range of the Company&#146;s
product offering and to enter the child care franchise business. The Tutor
Time acquisition was financed, in part, through the Company&#146;s $17.5&nbsp;million
secured bank credit facility as well as the issuance of $14&nbsp;million of
subordinated loans (the &#147;Subordinated Notes&#148;). The Subordinated Notes were
provided by a group of lenders organized by Jacobson Partners, to fund the
balance of the Tutor Time acquisition purchase price and to provide related
working capital. The Subordinated Notes mature December&nbsp;31, 2004 and bear
interest at 15%, of which 7% is payable in cash, with the balance payable in
kind by the issuance of additional subordinated notes (the &#147;Additional
Subordinated Notes&#148;), with interest and principal payable on the earlier of
December&nbsp;31, 2004 or such date on which the Company has consummated the Rights
Offering (described below) and received net cash proceeds (and/or cancelled

described below, with the issuance of the new subordinated debentures, would
allow payment in full of the Subordinated Notes (including the Additional
Subordinated Notes) and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The
offering price per share of the common stock under the Rights Offering would be
the four-week volume-weighted average price of the common stock on The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, prior to the commencement date of the offering; provided,
however, that if the one-week volume-weighted average price of the common
stock, calculated during the one-week period immediately prior to the
commencement date of the offering, was more than 10% less than such four-week
volume-weighted average price, the offering price related to the common stock
portion of the Rights Offering will equal 110% of such one-week average closing
price. Subject to certain shareholder ownership requirements, all common
shareholders as of the Rights Offering record date will be able to participate
in the offering and will be allowed to acquire Units on a pro rata basis. The
subordinated debentures will bear interest at 15%, have a five-year maturity,
and be redeemable by the Company at any time at par, subject to restrictions
under its senior lending agreements. JP Acquisition Fund II, L.P., JP
Acquisition Fund III, L.P., funds controlled by Jacobson Partners and certain

Notes (including the Additional Subordinated Notes) plus all accrued and unpaid

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">During third quarter 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
contract to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates relating to
the revolving line of credit. Swap contracts fix the interest payments of
floating rate debt instruments. As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, a contract representing
$3.0&nbsp;million of notional amount was outstanding with a maturity date of
November, 2005. This contract provides for the Company to pay interest at a
fixed rate of 3.02% in return for receiving interest at a floating rate of 3
month LIBOR, which is reset in three month intervals. The fair value of
interest rate swap agreements is subject to changes in value due to changes in
interest rates. During the 12&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003, the Company
recognized a loss of $46,000 as a result of a decline in the market value of
the outstanding interest rate contract.

<P><FONT size="2"><B>Related Party Transactions</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">In addition to the related party transactions described in the Company&#146;s Annual
Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;29, 2002 (see Item&nbsp;7,
&#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations &#151; Related Party Transactions&#148;), involving Jacobson Partners, see
Note 2 &#147;Acquisition and Pro Forma Information&#148; of the Company&#146;s Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), included in this Report under
Item&nbsp;1, for additional transactions entered into and proposed to be entered
into with Jacobson Partners in connection with the Company&#146;s proposed Rights
Offering. Jacobson Partners is a private equity firm whose managing partner is
Benjamin R. Jacobson, the Company&#146;s Chairman of the Board. James J. Morgan, a
director of the Company and former Interim Chairman of the Board and interim
Chief Executive Officer, is also a partner of Jacobson Partners, and George A.
Kellner, the Company&#146;s Vice Chairman of the Board, serves as a special advisor
to Jacobson Partners.

<P><FONT size="2"><B>Operational Improvements</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Company continues steps to improve the profitability of its operations
through pricing, more effective labor management and expense control and
efforts aimed at boosting enrollment. These measures resulted in improvements
in operating results for the third quarter, and have resulted in additional
improvements in operating results in the first period of the fourth quarter.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>Contingencies</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">During fiscal 2002, the Company decided not to pursue opening three new
build-to-suit centers after leases for these centers had been signed with the
developer of the centers. The Company was subsequently sued by the developer
for breach of contract. This case was settled at the end of fiscal 2002, and a
current liability was recorded on the balance sheet as of March&nbsp;29, 2002 in the
amount of $0.8&nbsp;million, which was paid during first quarter 2003.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Company is primarily liable on approximately $1.0&nbsp;million for lease
assignments already negotiated in connection with certain lease terminations
resulting from the fiscal 2001 restructuring program (see Note 12 of the
Company&#146;s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements &#151; unaudited). A subsidiary
of the Company is primarily or contingently liable for many of the leases of
Tutor Time&#146;s franchisees. In an effort to build its franchisee network, Tutor
Time either leased the prospective site for a franchisee, with a subsequent
sublease of the site to the franchisee, or provided a lease guarantee to the
landlord for the benefit of the franchisee in exchange for a monthly lease
guarantee fee payable by the franchisee that is based upon the monthly rent
expense of the guaranteed lease. The liability is approximately $99.0&nbsp;million
related to leases and $15.7&nbsp;million related to guarantees. The leases have
durations from 1-20&nbsp;years. The Company would be required to pay the related
lease obligations in the case of default by the franchisee. Should the Company
be required to make payments under these leases, it may assume obligations for
operating the center. Should the center not be economically viable, the
Company will make provision for the lease termination at that time. The
Company has taken over operations for a center previously operated by a
franchisee as a result of a default under the franchisee&#146;s lease and intends to
continue to operate this center.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">In addition, various legal actions and other claims are pending or could be
asserted against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties; the
outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance, and
it is reasonably possible that some of these matters may be decided unfavorably
to the Company. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if
any, with respect to these matters will not materially affect the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

<P><FONT size="2">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that
management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Predicting future events is
inherently an imprecise activity and as such requires the use of judgment.
Actual results may vary from estimates in amounts that may be material to the
financial statements.

other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly release any modifications or revisions to these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after
the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In
connection with the &#147;safe harbor&#148; provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions investors that future
financial and operating results may differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and
other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements

Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, ability to hire, train and retain qualified

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks</B>
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is exposed
to market risk in the areas of interest rates and foreign currency exchange
rates.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>Interest Rates</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Company has exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates related
to its debt obligations. The Company does not have cash flow exposure due to
rate changes on our 15% Subordinated Notes in the amount of $14&nbsp;million at
January&nbsp;3, 2003. The Company has cash flow exposure on the revolving line of
credit, with an outstanding balance of $12.6&nbsp;million and its notes payable,
with an outstanding balance of $3.8&nbsp;million as of January&nbsp;3, 2003. Accordingly,
a 2% (200 basis points) change in the LIBOR rate or the prime rate would have
resulted in interest expense changing by approximately $0.1 and $0.3&nbsp;million in
the third quarter and year to date 2003, respectively.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2"><B>Foreign Currency Exchange Rates</B></FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s exposure to foreign currency exchange rates is limited to
revenues for one company owned center and franchise royalties for 11 franchised
centers. Based upon the relative size of our foreign operations, the Company
does not believe that the reasonably possible near-term change in the related
exchange rate would have a material effect on its financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.

         The Company and the Guarantors have informed the Bank that Events of
Default have occurred due to (1) breaches of Sections 5.2(c) and 5.2(d) of the
Credit Agreement as of the end of the Parent Guarantor's fiscal quarter ended on
or about October 11, 2002 (the "Subject Quarter End"), (2) breaches of Section
5.1(b) due to the Parent Guarantor's failure to file timely Form 8K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the Tutor Time
Property Purchase, subsequently to timely file with the SEC the related
financial statements and to timely file with the SEC the Parent Guarantor's Form
10Q for the Subject Quarter End, and (3) breaches of Section 5.1(d)(ii) and
Section 5.1(d)(iii) due to the failure to deliver timely the financial
statements and certificates of the chief financial officer required thereunder
for the Subject Quarter End and due to the failure to deliver timely the
financial statements and certificate of the chief financial officer required
under Section 5.1(d)(ii) for periods prior to the Subject Quarter End and for
subsequent periods through December 27, 2002 (all of the foregoing,
collectively, the "Known Defaults"), and the Company and the Guarantors have
requested that the Bank waive the Known Defaults subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein. Pursuant to such request, upon the occurrence of
the Amendment Date, the Bank hereby waives the Known Defaults, provided that the
Bank is not waiving any other Defaults, Events of Default or other breaches of
Section 5.1(b), 5.1(d), 5.2(c) or 5.2(d) or any other provisions of the Credit

Agreement. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the waiver
contained herein is a limited waiver, limited to the specific Known Defaults
described above and subject to the conditions described herein. Such limited
waiver (a) shall not waive any other term, covenant or agreement of the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any other term, covenant or agreement of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and (c) shall not be deemed to prejudice any present or future right
or rights which the Bank now has or may have thereunder. Additionally, this
limited waiver shall not be deemed to waive any Event of Default, whether now
existing or hereafter existing, whether known, unknown or otherwise, except as
specifically set forth herein.

                            ARTICLE 5. MISCELLANEOUS

         5.1 The Company acknowledges and agrees that prompt and complete
compliance by the Company with all the requirements of Section 5.1(f) of the
Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment is a material inducement to the
Bank to enter into this Amendment and any failure by the Company so to comply
shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
Further, if the Company shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or
agreement in this Amendment, or any representation or warranty made by the
Company in this Amendment shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect when made, such occurrence shall be deemed to constitute an Event of
Default.

         5.2 All references to the Credit Agreement in any other document,
instrument or certificate referred to in the Credit Agreement or delivered in
connection therewith or pursuant thereto hereafter shall be deemed references to
the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby

         5.3 The Company represents and warrants that it is aware of no claims
or causes of action against the Bank or any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents. Notwithstanding such representation and warranty, and as
further consideration for the agreements set forth in this Amendment, each of
the Company and the Guarantors, for itself and its successors and assigns,
releases the Bank, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys,
affiliates, subsidiaries, and successors and assigns, from any liability, claim,
right or cause of action which now exists or hereafter arises, whether known or
unknown, arising from or in any way related to facts in existence as of the date
hereof.

         5.4 Each party hereto, after consulting or having had the opportunity
to consult with counsel, knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives any
right any of them may have to a trial by jury in any litigation based upon or
arising out of this Amendment, or any agreement referenced herein or other
related instrument or agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Amendment, or any course of conduct, dealing, statements (whether oral or
written) or actions of any of them. None of the parties hereto shall seek to
consolidate, by counterclaim or otherwise, any such action in which a jury trial
has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not
been waived. These provisions shall not be deemed to have been modified in any
respect or relinquished by any party hereto except by a written instrument
executed by all of them.

connection with this Amendment constitute the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment is binding on
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. If any of the provisions of this Amendment are in conflict with any
applicable statute or rule or law or otherwise unenforceable, such offending
provisions shall be null and void only to the extent of such conflict or
unenforceability, but shall be deemed separate from and shall not invalidate any
other provision of this Amendment.

         5.6 No course of dealing on the part of the Bank, nor any delay or
failure on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege or
otherwise prejudice the Bank's rights and remedies hereunder or under the Credit
Agreement, the Note, any Security Document, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement or instrument of the Company or any of the Guarantors with or in favor
of the Bank; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Bank under this Amendment
