Item 1.           BUSINESS

(a)  General Development of Business

Educational Development Corporation (“EDC”) is the exclusive United States trade publisher of the line of educational children’s books produced in the United Kingdom by Usborne Publishing Limited (“Usborne”).  We were incorporated on August 23, 1965. Our fiscal years end on February 28(29).

Our company motto is “The future of our world depends on the education of our children.  EDC delivers educational excellence one book at a time.  We provide economic opportunity while fostering strong family values.  We touch the lives of children for a lifetime.”

(b)  Financial Information about Industry Segments

While selling children’s books is our only line of business, we sell them through two divisions:

·                  Home Business Division (“Usborne Books at Home” or “UBAH”) - This division distributes books nationwide through independent consultants who hold book showings in individual homes, and through book fairs, direct sales and Internet sales.  The UBAH Consultants also distribute these titles to school and public libraries.

·                  Publishing Division (“Publishing”) – This division markets books to bookstores (including major national chains), toy stores, specialty stores, museums and other retail outlets throughout the country.

Percent Net Revenues by Division

(c)  Narrative Description of Business

Products

As the sole United States trade publisher of the Usborne line of books, we offer over 1,400 different titles.  Many are interactive in nature, including our Touchy-Feely board books, jigsaw puzzle books, activity and flashcards, adventure and search books, art books, sticker books and foreign language books. Many titles are also published in Spanish.

3

We have a broad line of ‘internet-linked’ books which allow readers to expand their educational experience by referring them to relevant non-Usborne websites.  Our books include science and math titles, as well as chapter books and novels.

We also produce and distribute “Usborne Kid Kits”, which combine an Usborne book with specialty items/toys that complement the information contained in the book.  The Kid Kits are packaged in reusable vinyl bags or box packages.  Currently, 60 different Kid Kits are available.

We continually introduce new titles across all lines of our products.

UBAH markets the books through commissioned consultants using a combination of direct sales, home parties, book fairs and the Internet.  The division had approximately 7,900 consultants in 50 states at February 29, 2008.

Publishing markets through commissioned trade representatives who call on book, toy, specialty stores and other retail outlets, as well as through in-house marketing by telephone to the trade.  This division markets to approximately 5,100 book, toy and specialty stores.  Significant orders totaling 32% of the Publishing Division’s sales have been received from major book chains.  During fiscal year 2008, the division continued to expand into mass merchandising outlets such as drug, department and discount stores.

Seasonality

Sales for both divisions are greatest during the Fall due to the holiday season.

Competition

We face competition on two fronts for our UBAH Division from several other larger direct selling companies - for sales and consultants.  Our school and library market faces strong competition from Scholastic Books for the book fair market.

Publishing faces strong competition from large U.S. and international companies.  Industry sales of juvenile paperbacks approached $1.4 billion annually for calendar year 2007.  Historically, this division’s sales are approximately 1.0% of industry sales.  Competitive factors include product quality, price and deliverability.  Management believes its product line will enable this division to compete well in its market area.

Employees

As of April 1, 2008, 76 full-time and 3 part-time employees worked at our Tulsa facility, about half of those are in the assembly facility or distribution warehouse.  We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Company Reports

Our annual and quarterly reports (Forms 10-K and 10-Q), current Form 8-K reports and amendments to those reports filed with the SEC are available for download from the Investor Relations portion of our Internet website at www.edcpub.com.

Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Investors should carefully consider the following risks in addition to the other information contained in this report.  Each of these factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.  In addition, these factors could adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock.

Our operations may be adversely affected by general economic conditions

General economic factors that are beyond our control impact our forecasts and actual performance. These factors include interest rates, recession, inflation, consumer credit availability, consumer debt levels, energy costs, tax policy changes, unemployment trends, the threat of war, terrorism or other political unrest, and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending.  Volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater degree of frequency and magnitude.  Changes in the economic climate could adversely affect our performance.

Our growth is dependent upon attracting and retaining independent sales consultants

Our continued growth and success in UBAH is dependent on our ability to attract and retain sales consultants, their ability to operate their businesses successfully and to recruit other sales consultants. To attract and retain new sales consultants, we provide operational manuals and sales materials, participate in regional and national training seminars, offer low-cost start-up opportunities, provide a variety of sales incentives and pay competitive sales commissions and bonuses.  These sales consultants are independent business owners and we have no control over the time and effort each individual consultant chooses to spend on their business.

Our business faces a great deal of competitive pressure

The retail business is highly competitive.  We compete for sales consultants with many other direct selling companies, most of whom offer products different from our products.  Most of these competitors have a greater market presence and larger financial resources.  Unanticipated changes in the pricing and marketing practices of these competitors may adversely affect the performance of UBAH.

The Publishing Division operates in a highly competitive market.  The Publishing Division is in direct competition with other booksellers, the majority of which have larger financial resources than we have.  The book industry is a $25 billion market.  Sales in the juvenile paperback market, our primary market, were approximately $1.4 billion for calendar year 2007.  Our market share in the juvenile paperback market was less than 1.0% in fiscal year 2008.  Unanticipated changes in the pricing and marketing practices of these competitors may adversely affect the performance of our Publishing Division.

Seasonality of sales

Our business is subject to seasonal influences, with a higher portion of sales and income historically realized during the third quarter of the fiscal year, which includes the back-to-school and holiday seasons.  This seasonality causes our operating results to vary somewhat from quarter to quarter and could materially and adversely affect the market price of our securities.

Our operations are dependent on a single distribution facility

Our distribution activities for all books are handled from a single facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Any significant interruption in the operation of the distribution facility due to natural disasters, accidents, system failures or other unforeseen causes could impair our ability to distribute merchandise to our customers.

5

We have a sole source supplier for our products

We are the exclusive United States distributor for the line of children’s books published by Usborne Publishing, Limited, London, UK and our distribution of other publishers’ products is extremely limited.  There is some risk in having a sole source for our products.  The contract between Usborne Publishing, Limited and us has a two-year notice of termination requirement.  However, we have an excellent working relationship with our foreign supplier Usborne Publishing, Limited and can foresee no reason for this to change.

All our products are imported from overseas locations

Our products are printed at locations throughout Europe, China, Singapore, India, Malaysia and Dubai.  The products are then shipped by ocean cargo to the United States.  Political unrest in a particular location could cause delays in securing products.  However, since our supplier has numerous sources for printing the products, should political unrest occur in one area, the supplier could utilize printers in other locations to provide our product.  Should an accident occur while the books are in transit and the supply of a title be depleted as a result, we would experience lost sales.

Our common stock is thinly traded

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ market under the symbol EDUC.  There were 3,706,745 shares outstanding at February 29, 2008.  The average shares traded daily for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2008, February 28, 2007, and February 28, 2006 were 3,790 shares, 3,021 shares, and 3,371 shares, respectively.

Personnel changes

Our development has largely been achieved through the vision and efforts of our President and CEO.  If his services were not available for any reason, our business could be adversely affected.

Other factors may negatively affect our business

The foregoing list of risk factors is not exclusive.  Other factors and unanticipated events could adversely affect us.  We do not undertake to revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date the statement is made.

Item 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Item 2.    PROPERTIES

We are located at 10302 E. 55th Pl., Tulsa, Oklahoma.  These facilities are owned by us and contain approximately 105,000 square feet of office and warehouse space.  All product distributions are made from this warehouse.  We believe that our operating facility meets both present and future capacity needs.

Management Summary

Educational Development Corporation is the sole distributor in the United States of the Usborne line of children’s books.  We operate two separate divisions, Publishing and Usborne Books at Home (“UBAH”), to sell these books.  Our Corporate headquarters, including the distribution facility for both divisions, is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

These two divisions each have their own customer base.  The Publishing Division markets its products on a wholesale basis to various retail accounts.  The UBAH Division markets its products to individual consumers as well as to school and public libraries through direct-selling consultants.

Publishing Division

The Publishing Division operates in a market that is highly competitive, with a large number of companies engaged in the selling of books.  Sales in the book industry were approximately $25 billion for calendar year 2007.  Sales in the trade industry, defined as wholesale sales to retailers, were approximately $8.5 billion for calendar year 2007.  Sales in the juvenile paperback market, our primary market segment, were approximately $1.4 billion for calendar year 2007.  Our market share in the juvenile paperback market has remained between 0.9% and 1.0% during the last three years.

The Publishing Division’s customer base includes national book chains, regional and local bookstores, toy and gift stores, school supply stores and museums.  To reach these markets, the Publishing Division utilizes a combination of commissioned sales representatives located throughout the country and a commissioned telesales group located in our headquarters.  The Vice President of the Publishing Division manages sales to the national chains.

The Publishing Division uses a variety of methods to attract potential new customers and maintain current customers.  Company personnel attend many of the national trade shows held by the book selling industry each year, allowing us to make contact with potential buyers who may be unfamiliar with our books.  We actively target the national chains through joint promotional efforts and institutional advertising in trade publications.  The Publishing Division also participates with certain customers in a cooperative advertising allowance program, under which we pay back up to 2% of the net sales to that customer.  Our products are then featured in promotions, such as catalogs, offered by the vendor.

We may also acquire, for a fee, an end cap position in a bookstore (our products are placed on the end of a shelf), which in the publishing industry is considered an advantageous location in the bookstore.  The costs of these promotions have been classified as reductions in revenue in the statements of earnings.

9

The Publishing Division’s in-house telesales group targets the smaller independent book and gift store market.  During fiscal year 2008 the telesales group opened 364 new accounts.  Our semi-annual, full-color, 130-page catalogs, are mailed to over 5,000 customers and potential customers.  We also offer two display racks to assist stores in displaying our products.  The larger rack has adjustable shelves that can hold approximately 250 titles.  The second rack is four-sided with three levels that will hold between 50 and 60 of our Kid Kits.

Publishing Division’s net revenues increased $23,000 in fiscal year 2008 from fiscal year 2007, or 0.3%.  Net revenues were up 3% for inside sales and 7% for smaller retail sales, offset by a decrease of 7% for national chain stores.  Sales for fiscal year 2007 were 3.3% lower than 2006.

Usborne Books at Home (“UBAH”) Division

The UBAH Division is a multi-level selling organization that markets its products through independent sales representatives (“consultants”) located throughout the United States.  The customer base of UBAH consists of individual purchasers, as well as school and public libraries.  Revenues are generated through home shows, direct sales, Internet sales, book fairs and contracts with school and public libraries.

 An important factor in the continued growth of the UBAH Division is the addition of new sales consultants and the retention of existing consultants.  Current active consultants recruit new sales consultants.  UBAH makes it easy to recruit by providing low-cost signing kits.  For one month, kits containing sample products and supplies were free to new recruits when a minimum dollar home show was submitted by the new recruit.  UBAH provides an extensive handbook that is a valuable tool in explaining the various programs to the new recruit.

Consultants During Year

The UBAH Division presently has six levels of sales representatives:

·                  Consultants

·                  Supervisors

·                  Senior Supervisors

·                  Executive Supervisors

·                  Senior Executive Supervisors

·                  Directors

Upon signing up, each individual is considered a consultant.  Consultants receive commissions from each sale they make; the commission rate being determined by the marketing program under which the sale is made.  In addition, consultants receive a monthly sales bonus once their sales reach an established monthly goal.  Consultants who recruit other consultants and meet certain established criteria are eligible to become supervisors.  Upon reaching this level, they receive monthly override payments based upon the sales of their downline groups.

Once supervisors reach certain established criteria, they become senior supervisors and are eligible to earn promotion bonuses on their consultants.  Once senior supervisors reach certain established criteria,

10

they become executive supervisors, senior executive supervisors or directors.  Executive supervisors and higher may receive an additional monthly override payment based upon the sales of their downline groups.

Percent of Net Revenues by UBAH Marketing Program

Number of Orders by UBAH Marketing Program

Net revenues from home shows declined 9% or $668,800 during fiscal year 2008.  This was a combination of per order averages which were down 3.0% and a lower number of orders placed during fiscal year 2008.  Homes shows were the original marketing program when UBAH began in 1989 and continue to generate the greatest percentage of revenue for UBAH.  Consultants contact individuals (“hostesses”) to hold book shows in their homes.  The consultant assists the hostess in setting up the details for the show and makes a presentation at the show and takes orders for the books.  The hostess earns free books based upon the total sales at the show.  Customer specials are available for customers when they order a selected amount.  Additionally, home shows provide an excellent opportunity for recruiting new consultants.

Net revenues from direct sales declined 13% or $58,700 during fiscal year 2008.  This resulted from a 15% decrease in the number of orders placed during the year, offset by a 2% increase in the per order average.  Direct sales are sales without a hostess being involved.  This program makes it possible for consultants to work directly out of their homes by selling to friends, neighbors and other customers.  It is especially convenient for those individuals who wish to order books from a consultant but are unable to attend a home show.  The UBAH Division offers many promotions (customer specials) throughout the year.  These promotions offer the customer the opportunity to purchase selected items at a discount if the customer meets the defined criteria.  The discounts under these promotions are recorded in discounts and allowances.

The school and library marketing program, including book fairs, decreased 1% or $81,900 during fiscal year 2008.  The number of orders placed during the year was down 2% while the per order average increased 2%.  Scholastic continues to dominate the book fair market.  Our book fair program is comparable to Scholastic’s program.  Many schools hold joint book fairs with UBAH and our competitors and we do well at these events.  In many cases, UBAH book fairs have been the only participant.  We look forward to future growth in this market area as our book fair program gains wider acceptance.

11

School and library sales are restricted to consultants who have received additional, specialized training which allows them to sell to schools and libraries.  The UBAH consultant is the only source that a library or school has for library-bound Usborne books.  They are not available through any of the school supply distribution companies.

Book fairs can be held with almost any organization as the sponsor.  The consultant provides promotional materials to acquaint parents with the books.  Parents turn in their orders at a designated time.  The book fair program generates free books for the sponsoring organization.  UBAH also has a Reach for the Stars fundraiser program.  This is a pledge-based reading incentive program that provides cash and books to the organization and books for the children.

As shown in the tables above, internet sales continue to show significant growth for UBAH, increasing 28% or $381,900 during fiscal year 2008.  This is the result of more consultants utilizing in-house-developed and hosted web sites in their businesses for a nominal monthly fee.  Consultants can customize the web sites to their own particular needs or they can maintain the generic site.  Orders are transmitted to us through a shopping cart arrangement and the consultant receives sales credit and commission on the sales.  Web-only specials are changed frequently and have proved successful, contributing to the growth in this market.

The cost of free books provided under the various UBAH marketing programs is recorded as operating and selling expense in the statements of earnings.

We believe that the UBAH Division has the greatest growth potential for us.  While there are many multi-level companies in the United States, UBAH is the only one exclusively selling books.  We believe this is a fertile market with excellent opportunities for continued growth.  The keys to future growth in the UBAH Division is recruiting and retaining consultants.

(1-2) Liquidity and Capital Resources

EDC has a history of profitability and positive cash flow.  We can continue to grow with minimal additional capital requirements.  Our primary source of cash is generated from operations.  Our primary uses of cash are to pay dividends, acquire treasury stock, purchase property and equipment, and repay borrowings on our line of credit.  We utilize our bank credit facility to meet our short-term cash requirements, when needed.

We expect our ongoing cash flow to continue to exceed cash required to operate the business.  Consequently, we expect short-term borrowings to remain at a minimum during the current fiscal year.

During fiscal year 2008 we experienced a positive cash flow from operations of $2,511,500.  Cash flow from operations was increased by a decrease in inventories of $569,400 and an increase in income taxes payable of $56,200, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $828,900.

Cash used in investing activities was $136,900 for capital expenditures related to replacing the building and warehouse roof, new warehouse equipment, computers and various warehouse improvements. We estimate that cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2009 will be less than $500,000.  This would consist of software and hardware enhancements to our existing data processing equipment, property improvements and additional warehouse equipment.

Cash used in financing activities was $1,188,600 which was primarily due to dividend payments of $826,000 and $504,900 paid to acquire treasury stock.  These were offset by cash received from financing activities of $82,300 from the sale of treasury stock and $60,000 from the exercise of stock options.  In September 2002, the Board of Directors authorized paying a minimum annual cash dividend of 20% of net earnings.  In fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 we paid 36%, 31% and 31%, respectively, of net earnings as a cash dividend.  We anticipate that in future years we will continue paying cash dividends of 25% - 35% of net earnings.

Our Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase plan in which we may purchase up to an additional 500,000 shares as market conditions warrant.  Management believes the stock is undervalued and when stock becomes available at an attractive price, we can utilize free cash flow to repurchase shares.  Management believes this enhances the value to the remaining stockholders and that these repurchases will have no adverse effect on our short-term and long-term liquidity.

(3) Results of Operations

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared with Fiscal Year 2007

The following presents an overview of our results of operations for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007.  We had earnings before income taxes of $3,732,100 for fiscal year 2008 compared with $3,878,100 for fiscal year 2007.

Revenues

The UBAH Division’s gross sales decreased 9.4% or $1,379,700 during FY 2008 when compared with FY 2007.  This decrease is attributable to lower sales in the home party, direct sale market, and school and library/book fair market, offset by increased sales in the internet markets.  Average sales per order for this division were down 6.5%, while the overall number of orders was up 2.4% primarily due to additional internet sales orders.  The Publishing Division’s gross sales increased 0.4% or $59,300 during FY 2008 when compared with FY 2007.

The Publishing Division’s discounts and allowances are a much larger percentage of gross sales than discounts and allowances in the UBAH Division due to the different customer markets that each division targets.  The Publishing Division’s discounts and allowances were $8.7 million in both fiscal years 2008 and 2007.  To be competitive with other wholesale book distributors, the Publishing Division sells at discounts between 48% and 55% of the retail price, based upon the quantity of books ordered and the dollar amount of the order.  The Publishing Division’s discounts and allowances were 51.8% of Publishing’s gross sales in both fiscal year 2008 and 2007.

The UBAH Division’s discounts and allowances were $3.1 million in fiscal year 2008 and $3.7 million in fiscal year 2007.  Most sales in the UBAH Division are at retail.  As a part of the UBAH

14

Division’s marketing programs, discounts between 40% and 50% of retail are offered on selected items at various times throughout the year.  The discounts and allowances in the UBAH Division will vary from year to year depending upon the marketing programs in place during any given year.  The UBAH Division’s discounts and allowances were 13.0% of UBAH’s gross sales in fiscal year 2008 and 14.6% in fiscal year 2007.

Transportation revenues decreased $114,500 in fiscal year 2008 consistent with the decrease in sales during the year.

Expenses

Cost of sales decreased approximately 4.7% in fiscal year 2008 when compared with fiscal year 2007.  Our cost of products is 25% to 34% of the gross sales price, depending upon the product.  In comparing the percentage change in gross sales with the percentage change in cost of goods, consideration must be given to the mix of products sold.  Approximately 85% of our products come from one vendor, where the cost of the products is a fixed percentage of the retail price.  The mix of products sold has not materially changed in recent years.

We expect the percentage change in year-to-year gross sales and the percentage change in year-to-year cost of sales to be proportional.  The 4.7% decrease in cost of sales for fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007 is relatively consistent with the percent decrease in gross sales of approximately 3.1% for the same periods.

Cost of sales is the inventory cost of product sold (including the cost of the product itself and inbound freight charges).  Operating and selling expenses include purchasing and receiving, inspection, warehousing, and other costs of our distribution network.  These costs totaled $1,132,000 in FY2008 and $1,200,800 in FY2007.  When comparing our gross margins with the gross margins of other companies, note that we do not include the costs of our distribution network in our cost of sales.

In addition to costs associated with our distribution network (noted above), operating and selling costs include expenses of the Publishing Division, the UBAH Division and the order entry and customer service functions.  Operating and selling expenses as a percentage of gross sales were 18.3% and 17.9% for fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2007, respectively.

Sales commissions in the Publishing Division increased $25,900 for the fiscal year ended 2008.  Sales commissions for this division fluctuate depending upon the amount of sales made to our “house accounts,” which are our largest customers and do not have any commission expense associated with them, and sales made by the Company’s outside sales representatives.  Publishing Division sales commissions are paid on net sales and were 1.7% of net sales in fiscal year 2008 and 1.4% of net sales in fiscal year 2007.

Sales commissions in the UBAH Division decreased $287,000.  UBAH Division sales commissions are paid on retail sales and were 36.3% for fiscal year 2008 and 31.3% for fiscal year 2007. 

15

The fluctuation in the percentages of commission expense to retail sales is the result of the type of sale.  Home shows, book fairs, school and library sales and direct sales have different commission rates.  Also contributing to the fluctuations in the percentages is the payment of overrides and bonuses, both dependent on consultants’ monthly sales and downline sales.  The decrease in sales commissions is the result of lower sales in the UBAH Division.

General and administrative expenses include the executive department, accounting department, information services department, general office management and building facilities management.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross sales were 4.1% for both fiscal years 2008 and 2007.

The tax provision for fiscal year 2008 was $1,407,700.  The effective rate for fiscal year 2008 was 37.7% and for fiscal year 2007 was 37.9%.  Our effective tax rate is higher than the Federal statutory rate due to state income taxes.

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared with Fiscal Year 2006

The following presents an overview of our results of operations for the years ended February 28, 2007 and 2006.  We had earnings before income taxes of $3,880,100 for fiscal year 2007 compared with $3,814,400 for fiscal year 2006.

Revenues

The UBAH Division’s gross sales decreased a slight 0.2% or $43,300 during FY 2007 when compared with FY 2006.  We attribute this decrease to lower sales in the home party, direct sale market, and school and library/book fair market, offset by increased sales in the internet markets.  Average sales per order for this division were down 8.9%, while the overall number of orders was up 13.3% primarily due to additional internet sales orders.  The Publishing Division’s gross sales decreased 3.5% or $603,700 during FY 2007 when compared with FY 2006.

The Publishing Division’s discounts and allowances are a much larger percentage of gross sales than discounts and allowances in the UBAH Division due to the different customer markets that each division targets.  The Publishing Division’s discounts and allowances were $8.7 million and $9.0 million in fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.  To be competitive with other wholesale book distributors, the Publishing Division sells at discounts between 48% and 55% of the retail price, based upon the quantity of books ordered and the dollar amount of the order.  The Publishing Division’s discounts and allowances were 51.8% of Publishing’s gross sales in both fiscal year 2007 and 2006.

The UBAH Division’s discounts and allowances were $3.7 million in fiscal year 2007 and $3.4 million in fiscal year 2006.  Most sales in the UBAH Division are at retail.  As a part of the UBAH Division’s marketing programs, discounts between 40% and 50% of retail are offered on selected items at various times throughout the year.  The discounts and allowances in the UBAH Division will vary from year to year depending upon the marketing programs in place during any given year.  The UBAH Division’s discounts and allowances were 14.6% of UBAH’s gross sales in fiscal year 2007 and 13.4% in fiscal year 2006.

16

Transportation revenues increased $252,600 in fiscal year 2007 due to an increase in the transportation rate charged to the UBAH Division.

Expenses

Cost of sales decreased approximately 3.2% in fiscal year 2007 when compared with fiscal year 2006.  Our cost of products is 25% to 34% of the gross sales price, depending upon the product.  In comparing the percentage increase in gross sales with the percentage increase in cost of goods, consideration must be given to the mix of products sold.  The mix of products sold has not materially changed in recent years.

We expect the percentage change in year-to-year gross sales and the percentage increases in year-to-year cost of sales to be proportional.  The 3.2% decrease in cost of sales for fiscal year 2007 over fiscal year 2006 is relatively consistent with the percent decrease in gross sales of approximately 1.5% for the same periods.

Cost of sales is the inventory cost of product sold (including the cost of the product itself and inbound freight charges).  Operating and selling expenses are made up of purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, and other costs of our distribution network.  These costs totaled $1,200,800 in FY2007 and $1,414,900 in FY2006.  Readers are advised to be cautious when comparing our gross margins with the gross margins of other companies, since some companies include the costs of their distribution networks in cost of sales.

In addition to costs associated with our distribution network (noted above), operating and selling costs include expenses of the Publishing Division, the UBAH Division and the order entry and customer service functions.  Operating and selling expenses increased $414,400 primarily due to higher postage and freight expenses of $103,500 over the prior year, increases in travel contest incentives and other sales incentives offered by the UBAH Division totaling $108,300, higher promotion costs in the Publishing Division totaling $89,400 and an increase in payroll/benefits costs of $100,500.  Operating and selling expenses as a percentage of gross sales were 17.9% and 16.7% for fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2006, respectively.

Sales commissions in the Publishing Division increased $16,100 for the fiscal year ended 2007.  Sales commissions for this division fluctuate depending upon the amount of sales made to our “house accounts,” which are our largest customers and do not have any commission expense associated with them, and sales made by the Company’s outside sales representatives.  Publishing Division sales commissions are paid on net sales and were 1.4% of net sales in fiscal year 2007 and 1.1% of net sales in fiscal year 2006.

Sales commissions in the UBAH Division decreased $144,500.  UBAH Division sales commissions are paid on retail sales and were 31.3% for fiscal year 2007 and 37.6% for fiscal year 2006.  The fluctuation in the percentages of commission expense to retail sales is the result of the type of sale.  Home shows, book fairs, school and library sales and direct sales have different commission rates.  Also

17

contributing to the fluctuations in the percentages is the payment of overrides and bonuses, both dependent on consultants’ monthly sales and downline sales.  The decrease in sales commissions is the result of lower sales in the UBAH Division.

General and administrative expenses include the executive department, accounting department, information services department, general office management and building facilities management.  General and administrative expenses increased slightly because of an increase in materials and supplies, outside services and payroll costs, offset by a decrease in legal and audit fees.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross sales were 4.1% for fiscal year 2007 and 4.0% for fiscal year 2006.

Interest expense decreased $75,500 due to decreased short-term borrowings throughout the fiscal year.  Interest expense as a percentage of gross sales was negligible at 0.02% in fiscal year 2007 and 0.2% in fiscal year 2006.

The tax provision for fiscal year 2006 was $1,471,000.  The effective rate for fiscal year 2007 was 37.9% and for fiscal year 2006 was 37.1%.  Our effective tax rate is higher than the Federal statutory rate due to state income taxes.

Contractual Obligations

The table below summarizes the maturity dates of our contractual obligations by period.

Bank Credit Agreement

Effective June 30, 2007 we signed a Ninth Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement with Arvest Bank which provided a $5,000,000 line of credit through June 30, 2008.  Interest is payable monthly at the Wall Street Journal prime-floating rate minus 0.75% (5.25% at February 29, 2008) and borrowings are collateralized by substantially all assets.  At February 29, 2008, we had no borrowings

18

outstanding.  Available credit under the revolving credit agreement was $5,000,000 at February 29, 2008. We also had no borrowings outstanding under the agreement during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008.

This agreement also contains a provision for our use of the Bank’s letters of credit.  The Bank agrees to issue, or obtain issuance of commercial or standby letters of credit provided that no letters of credit will have an expiry date later than June 30, 2008 and that the sum of the line of credit plus the letters of credit would not exceed the borrowing base in effect at the time.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our valuation of inventory, allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable, allowance for sales returns, long-lived assets and deferred income taxes.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Historically, however, actual results have not differed materially from those determined using required estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes accompanying the financial statements included elsewhere in this report.  However, we consider the following accounting policies to be more significantly dependent on the use of estimates and assumptions.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation whereby share-based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock, are measured at estimated fair value at date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized and recorded when products are shipped.  Products are shipped FOB shipping point. The UBAH Division’s sales are paid before the product is shipped.  These sales accounted for 73% of net revenues in FY2008, 74% of net revenues in FY2007, and 74% of net revenues in FY2006.  The provisions of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” have been applied, and as a result, a reserve is provided for estimated future sales returns.  Our sales return policy allows the customer to return all purchases for an exchange or refund for up to 30 days after the customer receives the item.  Estimated allowances for sales returns are recorded as sales are recognized and recorded.

Management uses a moving average calculation to estimate the allowance for sales returns.  We are not responsible for product damaged in transit.  Damaged returns are primarily from the retail stores.  The damages occur in the stores, not in shipping to the stores.  It is industry practice to accept returns from wholesale customers.  Transportation revenue, the amount billed to the customer for shipping the product, is recorded when products are shipped.  Management has estimated and included a reserve for sales returns of $84,000 as of February 29, 2008 and $84,000 as of February 28, 2007.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.  An estimate of uncollectable amounts is made by management based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, customers’ financial conditions and current economic trends.  Management has estimated allowance for doubtful accounts of $74,400 as of February 29, 2008 and $75,000 as of February 28, 2007.

Inventory

Management continually estimates and calculates the amount of non-current inventory.  The inventory arises due to occasional purchases of book inventory in quantities in excess of what will be sold within the normal operating cycle due to minimum order requirements of our primary supplier.  Noncurrent inventory was estimated by management using the current year turnover ratio by title.  All inventory in excess of 2 ½ years of anticipated sales was classified as noncurrent inventory.  Noncurrent

20

inventory balances were $764,000 and $808,000 at February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively.

Inventories are presented net of a valuation allowance.  Management has estimated and included a valuation allowance for both current and noncurrent inventory.  This allowance is based on management’s identification of slow moving inventory on hand.  Management has estimated a valuation allowance for both current and noncurrent inventory of $331,200 and $382,300 as of February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively.

Our product line contains approximately 1,400 titles, each with different rates of sale, depending upon the popularity of the title.  Almost all of our product line is saleable as the books are not topical in nature and remain current in content today as well as in the future.  A few of the titles, less than 50, have a limited time when they remain current in content, i.e. computer books, and these few titles are fully reserved.  Our products are printed in Europe, China, Singapore, India, Malaysia and Dubai resulting in a six-month lead-time to have a title reprinted and delivered to us.

Our principal supplier, based in England, imposes minimum order requirements before reprinting a title.  At the current time we must reorder 7,500 or more of a title in order to get a solo print run.  If we order less than 7,500 of a title, then we must share a print run with the supplier’s other customers. Sharing a print run has resulted in delays of up to twelve months in receiving the ordered title.  Anticipating customer preferences and purchasing habits requires historical analysis of similar titles in the same series. We then place the initial order or re-order based upon this analysis.

These factors and historical analysis have led Management to determine that 2 ½ years represents a reasonable estimate of the normal operating cycle for our products.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that the following new accounting standards are applicable to us.

21

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” which amends and puts in one place guidance on the use of fair value measurements which had been spread through four APB Opinions and 37 FASB Standards. No extensions of the use of fair value measurements are contained in this new pronouncement and, with some special industry exceptions (e.g., broker-dealers), no significant changes in practice should ensue. The standard is to be applied to financial statements beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This standard permits the use of fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet with the net change in fair value recognized in periodic net income. The Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(revised 2007) “Business Combinations.”  The statement requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination.  This statement is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 7A.                   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not have any material market risk.

Item 8.                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The information required by this Item 8 begins at page 30.

Item 9.                             CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There have been no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices or financial statement disclosure within the twenty-four months prior to February 29, 2008.

22

Item 9.A                     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of February 29, 2008. This evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Controller/Corporate Secretary (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer).

Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to them, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

During the 4th quarter of FY 2008 and subsequently, we made changes to our controls over accounts receivables.  Processes involving detailed entries have been changed to improve controls over data entry.  In addition, detection controls have been established to help identify older accounts receivable entries that may require correction.

Except as described above, during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report on Form 10-K, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and our Controller, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in INTERNAL CONTROL-INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Based on our evaluation under that framework and applicable SEC rules, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 29, 2008.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Educational Development Corporation

We have audited the balance sheets of Educational Development Corporation as of February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, and the related statements of earnings, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 29, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Educational Development Corporation as of February 29, 2008 February 28, and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 29, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Educational Development Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2008 included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
