RENAISSANCE LEARNING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.     Consolidation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results of Renaissance Learning, Inc. (“Renaissance Learning”) and our subsidiaries. Our significant subsidiaries include Renaissance Corporate Services, Inc. and Generation21 Learning Systems, LLC (“Generation21”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.     Basis of Presentation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, and are presented on an unaudited basis. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, which is on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.     Earnings Per Common Share

     Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

     On April 17, 2002, our Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program which provides for the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. No time limit was placed on the duration of the repurchase program. Repurchased shares will become treasury shares and will be used for stock-based employee benefit plans and for other general corporate purposes. During the period of January 1, 2003 through March 31, 2003, we repurchased 868,000 shares at a cost of $15.4 million under the current repurchase program. Through March 31, 2003, the cumulative shares repurchased under the current program were 3,581,000 at a cost of $64.5 million.

     The weighted average shares outstanding are as follows:

                 
    Three Months Ended     Three Months Ended  
    March 31, 2003     March 31, 2002  
   
   
 
Basic weighted average shares outstanding
    31,655,298       34,644,242  
Dilutive effect of stock options
    112,282       274,205  
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding
    31,767,580       34,918,447  

4.     Comprehensive Income

     Total comprehensive income was $7,589,000 and $7,604,000 in the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments. In 2002, our comprehensive income also included the remaining unamortized balance of unrealized gains and losses on our held-to-maturity securities that were previously classified as available-for-sale.

5.     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     In accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. Our other intangible assets have finite lives and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of four years for algorithms and software code, and five years for the non-compete agreement.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, we recognized amortization expense on other intangibles of $134,000 and $135,000, respectively. No goodwill or other intangibles were acquired or impaired during the first quarter of 2003. Other intangibles consisted of the following (in thousands):

                                                 
    March 31, 2003     December 31, 2002

     Other intangibles are scheduled to be fully amortized by 2006 with corresponding amortization estimated to be $261,000, $286,000, and $193,000, for the remainder of 2003 and the years ended 2004, and 2005, respectively.

6.     Stock Option Plan

     We have established the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan for our officers, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Had compensation cost been determined for our stock option portion of the plan based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the alternative method set forth under SFAS 123, our net income and earnings per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

                     
        For the Three Months Ended  
        March 31,  
        2003     2002  
       
   
 
        (In thousands, except per share amounts)  
Net Income:
               
 
As reported
  $ 7,660     $ 7,755  
 
Deduct: total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair-value based method for all awards, net of tax
    917       1,107  
 
 
   
 
 
Pro forma
  $ 6,743     $ 6,648  
 
 
   
 
Earnings per share:
               
 
Basic:
               
   
As reported
  $ 0.24     $ 0.22  
   
Pro forma
    0.21       0.19  
 
Diluted:
               
   
As reported
  $ 0.24     $ 0.22  
   
Pro forma
    0.21       0.19  

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the first quarters of 2003 and 2002 respectively: dividend yield of 0% and 0%, expected volatility of 77.39% and 81.64%, risk-free interest rates of 2.97% and 4.63%, and expected lives of 6 years and 6 years for the options.
