            results of operations is included on the following page.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenue for the three months period ended March 31, 2000 increased 98.2% to
$142,704 as compared to $72,017 for the corresponding period of 1999. The
increase in revenue during the first quarter of the current fiscal year was the
result of an increase in volume received from the Registrant's largest client
coupled with projects received from new clients.

     Cost of sales in the three month period ended March 31, 2000 increased by
$33,952 or 37.5%. The increase in costs was due to the large increase in
revenue.

     Selling and Administrative (S&A) expenses increased by 4.6% to $39,225 as
compared to $37,502 during the corresponding period of 1999.

     Interest revenue was higher for the three month period ending March 31,
2000 when compared to the similar period of 1999. 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 $(15,476), or ($.02) per share, during the
three month period ending March 31, 2000 as compared to a loss of $(51,656), or
($.07) per share, in the similar period of 1999. The additional revenue
generated during the first quarter of the current fiscal year was not sufficient
to cover all costs incurred.

                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 2000.


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 $15,313 in the first three months of 2000 from
a deficit of $56,809 at December 31, 1999 to a deficit of $72,122 at March 31,
2000.

     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.
