                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLANS

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A)  CompuTrac, Inc. (the "Company") established the Employee Stock Purchase
Plans to provide its employees with an employee benefit plan whereby its
employees can participate in the equity and growth of the Company.

(B)  The investment in common stock of the Company is stated at market value
based upon the closing sales prices as transacted on the American Stock
Exchange. Such closing price was $.875 per share at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

(C)  The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

NOTE 2 - THE PLAN:

     The Company's Board of Directors adopted the CompuTrac, Inc. Employee Stock
Purchase Plan in December 1985 and in May 1991, adopted the CompuTrac, Inc. 1991
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company reserved 300,00 and 500,000 shares of
its Common Stock for purchase by its employees pursuant to the terms of the
plans, respectively. Under the plans, eligible participating employees of the
Company can purchase Common Stock from the Company through salary withholding.
The plans are not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Securities Act of 1974, nor are they intended to qualify for special tax under
Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company filed registration
Statement in January 1986, and May 1991 and August 1995 covering stock that can
be purchased under the plans.

     Each participating employee may elect to have an amount up to, but not in
excess of, 10% of his or her regular salary or wages withheld for the purpose of
purchasing the Company's Common Stock. On each monthly stock purchase date, the
Company contributes to each participating employee's account an amount equal to
33 1/3% of the aggregate contributions of such participant since the immediately
preceding stock purchase date, and funds then accumulated in the participant's
account, including the Company's contribution, are used to purchase authorized
but unissued shares of the Common Stock of the Company. Any funds remaining in
the participant's account after the purchase of the maximum number of the full
shares of Common Stock are retained in the participant's account and treated as
part of the accumulation for the next succeeding calendar month.


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

     The purchase price of the Common Stock purchased pursuant to the plans is
the lessor of the average of the closing sales prices during the preceding
calendar month for the average of the closing sales prices for the last five
trading days proceeding the stock purchase date. No fees, commissions, or other
charges are paid by, or otherwise charged to, the participants or their accounts
in connection with the purchase of Common Stock under the plans. All expenses of
administering the plans are paid by the Company.

     All Common Stock of the Company purchased by participating employees
pursuant to the plans may be voted by the employee or as directed by the
employee.

     The Employee Stock Purchase Plans do not discriminate, in scope, terms, or
operation, in favor of officers or directors of the Company and are available,
subject to the eligibility rules of the plans, to all employees of the Company
on the same basis.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

     The Employee Stock Purchase Plans are not subject to federal income taxes.
Under current federal income tax law, the difference between the fair market
value of the shares acquired under the plans, and the amount contributed by the
employee is treated as ordinary income to the employee for federal income tax
purposes. Accordingly, the Company withholds all applicable taxes from the
participating employee's salary. The fair market value of the shares is
determined as of the stock purchase date. The plans are not intended to qualify
for special tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
