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

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                     Revenue for the nine months period ended September 30, 1999
           increased 70.6% to $451,893 as compared to $264,915 for the
           corresponding period of 1998. Revenue for the three months period
           ended September 30, 1999 increased 12.8% to $96,910 as compared to
           $85,915 for the corresponding period of 1998. The increases in
           revenue for both the three and nine month periods were the direct
           result of an increase in volume of projects received from existing
           customers and from various new clients.

                     Cost of sales increased in both the three and six months
           periods ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the similar periods
           of 1998. During the nine months period of 1999 cost of sales
           increased by 28.8% to $386,104 as compared to $299,800 for the
           corresponding period of 1998. During the three months period ended
           September 1999 cost of sales increased by 9.5% to $117,106 as
           compared to $106,933 for the corresponding period in 1998. The
           increase in cost of sales during the three and nine months periods
           were due to the increase in the volume of revenue.

                     Selling and Administrative expenses during the nine months
           period ended September 30, 1999 decreased by approximately $5,730.
           Most of this decrease occurred during the third quarter ended
           September 30, 1999.

                     Interest income was slightly lower during the nine months
           period ended September 30, 1999 when compared to the similar period
           of 1998. Interest income during the third quarter of the fiscal year
           was slightly higher. The majority of the interest income currently
           being recognized is from Data Probe, Inc. and it's note payable 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 $(41,218) during the nine
           month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to a loss of
           $(146,336) in the similar period of 1998. The Registrant also

           reported a loss of $(58,683) for the three months period ending
           September 30, 1999 as compared to a loss of $(65,251) for the same
           period of 1998. The losses in the current fiscal year are due to
           increase in costs associated with the increase in volume of sales
           during both the three and nine months periods.


           CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

                     The Registrant incurred less then $1,000 in capital
           expenditures during the second quarter of fiscal year 1999. These
           expenditures were due to an upgrade of the Registrant's accounting
           software. By doing so the Registrant have complied with the Year 2000
           requirements. The registrant does not anticipate adding any material
           capital assets for the balance of fiscal year 1999.

           YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

                     The Registrant has diligently 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 the software and services provided by
           the Registrant are Year 2000 compliant. The Registrant has, also,
           upgraded its accounting and payroll systems to be fully compliant
           under the Year 2000 requirements.

                     To date, the Registrant has not found any area where a Year
           2000 compliance problem, with either its internal systems or outside
           providers, could have a material adverse impact on any part of the
           Registrant's business operations.

           LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

                     Working capital decreased by 42,122 in the first nine
           months of 1999 from a surplus of $59,271 at December 31, 1998 to a
           surplus of $17,149 at September 30, 1999.

                     There is no assurance that the stream of sales and revenue
           from the Registrant's 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.
