Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

      On April 5, 2001, PLATO Learning, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed its acquisition of Wasatch Interactive Learning Corporation, a Washington corporation (“Wasatch”), through the merger of Wasatch with and into WILC Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“WILC”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 31, 2001, among the Company, Wasatch and WILC, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Wasatch common stock, $0.001 par value, was exchanged for the right to receive 0.070923 shares of Company common stock, $0.01 par value, which equals in aggregate approximately 656,455 shares of Company common stock. The total consideration paid by the Company as a result of the issuance of the Company's common stock in connection with the Wasatch acquisition was approximately $12.0 million. The exchange ratio was determined based on the weighted average closing price of Company common stock over the five-day period immediately prior to closing date of the Wasatch acquisition equal to $18.28 per share, and based on 9,255,822 shares of Wasatch common stock outstanding as of the closing date of the acquisition.

      In connection with the Wasatch acquisition, on April 4, 2001, WILC purchased a 7% convertible debenture previously issued by Wasatch for approximately $4.1 million which was calculated as 110% of the outstanding principal amount of the Wasatch debenture plus accrued interest. WILC borrowed $4.1 million from its existing credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation to purchase the Wasatch debenture. The credit facility provides revolving credit loans to the Company and certain of its affiliates, including WILC. The credit facility terminates on February 26, 2002 and is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of certain of PLATO affiliates, including WILC.

Item 5. Other Events.

      On January 31, 2001, the Company issued a press release announcing its agreement to acquire Wasatch pursuant to the Merger Agreement. On April 5, 2001, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the Wasatch acquisition.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999

1.  Organization and Presentation

      On January 20, 2000, Wasatch Interactive Learning Corporation (formerly AG Holdings, Inc.) (WILC) merged in Wasatch Interactive Learning Corporation of Utah (the Acquiree) (collectively the Company). The terms of the agreement provide that the stockholders of the Acquiree received 3,605,205 shares of WILC common stock.

      The financial statements at February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999 assume the acquisition of WILC by the Acquiree, occurred March 1, 1998. Because the shares issued in the acquisition of the Acquiree represent control of the total shares of WILC’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the acquisition, the Acquiree is deemed for financial reporting purposes to have acquired WILC in a reverse acquisition. The business combination has been accounted for as a recapitalization of WILC giving effect to the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of the Acquiree. The surviving entity reflects the assets and liabilities of WILC and the Acquiree at their historical book value and the historical operations of the Company is that of the Acquiree’s. The issued common stock is that of WILC and the accumulated deficit is that of the Acquiree. The statement of operations is that of the Acquiree for the years ended February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999 and that of WILC from January 20, 2000 (date of acquisition) through February 29, 2000. Separate breakout of operations for WILC have not been presented as the amounts not related to the Acquiree are immaterial.

2.  Nature of Business Activities

      The Company’s primary business is the development and sales of curriculum based educational software and related services for use by educational institutions throughout the United States.

3.  Significant Accounting Policies

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

      For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

  Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization on capital leases and property and equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the lease. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on sale of property and equipment are reflected in net income.

  License Agreement

      The license agreement reflects the payment of cash in exchange for certain rights to market and sell software to the education market. The license agreement is being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

WASATCH INTERACTIVE LEARNING CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

  Income Taxes

      Income taxes are determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 109, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using estimated tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. SFAS 109 also provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets only if it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized in future years.

  Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

      Revenue from software sales is generally recognized when the software has been shipped, collectibility is probable, and there are no significant obligations remaining.

      Revenue attributable to software support and enhancements is recognized ratably over the contracts life, generally within twelve months.

  Research and Development

      Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.

  Advertising

      The Company expenses advertising production costs as they are incurred and advertising communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. During the years ended February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999, the Company had advertising expenses aggregating approximately $2,000 and $1,000, respectively.

  Earnings Per Share

      The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year.

      The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents, which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive. The stock options and warrants had no dilative effect on the net income for the year ended February 29, 2000.

  Concentration of Credit Risk

      Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations.

Table of Contents

WASATCH INTERACTIVE LEARNING CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions, primarily related to software revenue recognition, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 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.

  Reclassification

      Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

4.  Receivables

      Receivables are comprised of the following at February 29, 2000:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the greater than 50% change in ownership. In addition, the nature of the Company’s operations must remain substantially the same for a period of two years following the merger or the net operating loss will be deemed forfeited. The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2017. A valuation allowance has been established for the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realization caused by the recurring losses generated in previous years.

  Royalty Agreements

      The Company has entered into an agreement that provides it with a perpetual, worldwide software license. The agreement requires payment of royalties based on sales of the licensed software through February 2002. In addition, the agreement allows the Company to purchase the exclusive right to sell the licensed software to the educational market for a minimum annual royalty of $500,000. As of February 29, 2000, minimum royalties paid exceeded the actual royalties due by approximately $580,000. Under the agreement, these excess royalties paid can be applied to future royalties due. During the year ended February 29, 2000, the Company utilized approximately $60,000 in previously paid royalty credit. Royalty expense totaled approximately $500,000 for the year ended February 28, 1999.

      The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options and warrants granted to employees.

17.  Dividend on Common Stock

      On February 15, 2000, the Company issued as a dividend to all stockholders an “A” and “B” warrant. The “A” warrants entitle each shareholder who has 5 shares of the Company’s common stock to acquire one additional share for $14 prior to February 15, 2002 plus a “B” warrant. The “B” warrant entitles each shareholder one additional share of the Company’s common stock for $28 prior to February 15, 2004. There were no amounts recorded in the financial statements for this dividend because the fair value of these warrants was determined to be $0 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

WASATCH INTERACTIVE LEARNING CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

18.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, payables, and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, receivables, and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at market interest rates.

19.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — Deferral of the Effective date of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair value. SFAS 133 is now effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have any material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

20.  Subsequent Events

      On March 16, 2000, the Company issued a convertible debenture and warrants to purchase 196,078 shares of the Company’s common stock. The debenture bears interest at a 7% rate, is convertible with certain limitations, into common stock at anytime subsequent to April 17, 2000 and prior to March 16, 2003 at a rate of the lesser of $6.25 per share or 80% of the Company’s stock price for any five non-consecutive trading days during the twenty day trading period prior to conversion. The gross proceeds were $4 million with the Company realizing approximately $3,580,000. Under terms of its agreement with a major shareholder, the Company paid a commission of $100,000 to the shareholder for their assistance in obtaining the convertible debenture (see Note 15).

      On April 14, 2000, the Company entered into a non binding letter of intent to modify the terms of its royalty agreement described in note 15. The non binding letter of intent which is subject to a final agreement and approval provides that the Company will have perpetual exclusivity and will have a royalty obligation of 2.5% of all revenues from the licensed technology commencing March 1, 2000 on a binding basis.

      On April 14, 2000, the Company amended the employment agreements of the Company’s President and Vice President. The amended terms provide that if the Company issues in excess of 9.0 million shares of its common stock in connection with its efforts to raise net proceeds of $7.5 million through sales of its equity securities, including through the sale of convertible debt securities, the Company will issue additional shares of its common stock to these officers to avoid dilution of their respective percentage ownership interests in the Company’s common stock and the cash to pay taxes on the additional shares issued.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, the statements do not contain all of the information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation. However, in the opinion of Management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements of Wasatch Interactive Learning Corporation (the “Company”) at November 30, 2000, and the results of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the nine months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999 or for any other interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2001. It is suggested that these financial statements and related notes be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended February 29, 2000.

      The condensed financial statements for the nine months ended November 30, 2000 have been restated via Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2000, filed on February 20, 2001. Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s condensed financial statements for the nine months ended November 30, 2000, the Company determined that the convertible debenture (See Note 2) included a beneficial conversion feature pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) statement number 98-5. In addition, the Company determined that a portion of the convertible debenture value had to be allocated to the detachable warrants issued along with the debenture in accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) number 14. Both issues necessitated revision to the accounting previously used. As a result of the restatement, interest expense and net loss for the nine months ended November 30, 2000 were increased $1,578,000. In addition, long-term debt and additional paid-in capital decreased $394,000 and increased $1,971,000, respectively, resulting in a net increase of $394,000 to stockholders’ equity at November 30, 2000.

  Organization and Business

      The Company was incorporated on May 17, 1984 under the laws of the State of Washington under the name Image Productions, Inc., subsequently changing its name to Bahui USA, Inc., and then to AG Holdings, Inc. On January 20, 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Wasatch Interactive Learning Corporation, a Utah corporation (WILC-Utah) and simultaneously changed its corporate name from AG Holdings, Inc. to Wasatch Interactive Learning Corporation (WILC). Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, the stockholders of WILC-Utah received 3,605,205 shares of WILC common stock.

      The statements of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 1999 and cash flows for the nine months ended November 30, 1999 are presented on the assumption that acquisition of WILC-Utah by WILC occurred March 1, 1998. Because the shares issued in the acquisition of WILC-Utah represent control of the total shares of WILC’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the acquisition, WILC-Utah is deemed for financial reporting purposes to have acquired WILC in a reverse acquisition. The business combination has been accounted for as a recapitalization of WILC giving effect to the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of WILC-Utah. The surviving entity reflects the assets and liabilities of WILC and WILC-Utah at

      Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method wherein deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using estimated tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will be not be realized in the future.

  Cash & Cash Equivalents

      The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with federally insured financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits are invested in short-term interest bearing accounts collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.

  Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

      The Company provides credit terms to its customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts its allowance for doubtful receivables as circumstances dictate.

  Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capital leases is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the lease. Gains and losses on disposition of property and equipment are reflected separately in the statement of operations.

  License Agreement

      The Company has license agreements in place reflecting the payment of cash in exchange for certain rights to market and sell software in the education market. The license agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

  Use of Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions, primarily related to software revenue recognition, that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses during the reported period. Estimates also affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at

the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Reclassification

      Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.

2.  LONG TERM DEBT

      Long-term debt at November 30, 2000 consists of a $3,505,000 convertible debenture issued to one institutional investor due March 16, 2003. The debenture bears an interest rate of 7% per annum with interest payable quarterly. The debenture is convertible with certain limitations, into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lesser of $6.25 per share or 80% of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for any five non-consecutive trading days during the 20-day trading period prior to conversion. The convertible debenture was originally issued in the amount of $4 million on March 16, 2000, along with warrants to purchase up to 196,078 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.31. The convertible debenture had a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $1,500,000 at the time of issuance which was amortized to interest expense over the period March 16, 2000 to July 5, 2000. In addition, $496,000 of debenture value was allocated to the detachable warrants and is being amortized via the effective yield method to interest expense over the life of the debenture. During the nine months ended November 30, 2000, $101,000 of debenture debt was converted into 423,213 shares of the Company’s common stock.

      Long-term debt (including current maturities thereof), at November 30, 2000 also includes $88,000 of capital lease obligations. The terms of the leases include options to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease period, and have imputed interest rates ranging from 11% to 18%.

3.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

      Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each reporting period plus the common stock equivalents, which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is antidilutive. At November 30, 2000, the Company had 895,000 employee stock options outstanding with an exercise price of $.40 per share, and 3,259,412 warrants outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $5.31 to $28 per share. Diluted shares issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and inclusion of additional common shares assuming the conversion of the $3,899,000 convertible debenture for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2000 were excluded as they were antidilutive because of the net loss incurred during the periods. In as much as the Company did not have any common stock equivalents outstanding during the three and nine-month periods ended November 30, 1999, diluted earnings per share have not been calculated.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

(a)  Reflects the unaudited historical balance sheet of PLATO as derived from the January 31, 2001 balance sheet.
 
(b)  Reflects the unaudited historical balance sheet of Wasatch as derived from Wasatch’s internal accounting records as of January 31, 2001.
 
(c)  To eliminate historical carrying value of intangible assets of Wasatch. Intangible assets related to purchase accounting are recorded in (d).

(d)  Based upon the Merger Agreement, PLATO will acquire all of the Wasatch common stock for $12 million in PLATO common stock. Based on the weighted average closing price of PLATO common stock over the five-day period immediately prior to the closing of the Wasatch acquisition of $18.28 per share, this equates to 656,455 shares of PLATO common stock. The purchase price includes estimated direct acquisition costs of $525,000. The estimated allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets and goodwill is based on Wasatch’s unaudited balance sheet at January  31, 2001.

The table below is a summary of the purchase price in excess of net liabilities assumed:

           
Value of PLATO common stock issued
  $ 12,000,000  
Direct acquisition costs
    525,000  
Value of warrants issued
    95,000
