                         DATATAB, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenue for the three months period ended March 31, 2002 decreased 76%
to $38,041 as compared to $160,620 for the corresponding period of 2001. The
decrease in revenue during the first quarter of the current fiscal year was the
result of a decrease in volume received from the Registrant's existing clients
due to a general slow down in the market research industry. The September 11
terrorist attack in New York was the dominant catalyst and contributor to this
slow down.

         Cost of sales in the three month period ended March 31, 2002 decreased
only by $5,260 or 6%. Most of the costs during the first quarter were due to
labor costs which was maintained to meet anticipated demand for market research
services. In past years demand for market research services was always higher in
the first quarter of a calendar year. This year it did not materialize.

         Selling and Administrative (S&A) expenses were also maintained at
previous year's level.

         Interest revenue was lower for the three month period ending March 31,
2002 when compared to the similar period of 2001. The majority of the interest
income currently being recognized is from Data Probe, Inc. and it's receivable
to the Registrant. (See NOTE F of "Notes to Form 10-Q" contained in this report
for additional information)

         The Registrant had a loss of ($73,843), or ($.10) per share, during the
three months period ending March 31, 2002 as compared to a profit of $34,678, or
$.05 per share, in the similar period of 2001.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

         The Registrant did not incur any capital expenditure in the first three
months of 2002.


THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
-------------------

         The Registrant has studied the impact of the year 2000 on the software
and services it sells as well as its own internal systems.

         It was concluded that all software and services provided by the
Registrant are Year 2000 compliant. The Registrant has not experienced any Year
2000 compliance problems with either its internal systems or outside providers.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

         Working capital decreased by $73,825 in the first three months of 2002
from a deficit of $228,414 at December 31, 2001 to a deficit of $302,239 at
March 31, 2002.

         The Registrant receives cash deposits from clients in association with
various projects. There is no assurance that the stream of sales and revenue
from the Registrant's major clients will continue. If additional revenues cannot
be sustained and the Registrant once again realizes losses, the Registrant's
ability to continue to operate would be severely affected in the absence of
securing some type of supplemental financing, the availability of which there
can be no assurance.
