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

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                     Revenue for the nine months period ended September 30, 2000
           decreased by 4.2% to $432,702 as compared to $451,893 for the
           corresponding period of 1999. Revenue for the three months period
           ended September 30, 2000 decreased 36.6% to $61,415 as compared to
           $96,910 for the corresponding period of 1999. The decrease in revenue
           for the nine month period resulted from a decrease in volume of
           projects received from existing customers during the third quarter of
           the fiscal year.

                     Cost of sales during the nine months period ended September
           30, 2000 increased by $14,909 or 3.9% when compared to the similar
           period of 1999. During the three months period ended September 2000
           the cost of sales decreased by 24.0% to $89,056 as compared to
           $117,106 for the corresponding period in 1999. The large decrease in
           cost of sales during the third quarter of the fiscal year was due to
           the decrease in the revenue volume during that quarter.

                     Selling and Administrative expenses during the nine months
           period ended September 30, 2000 decreased by $9,624 or 7.9%. Most of
           this decrease occurred during the third quarter ended September 30,
           2000.

                     Interest income was higher by 17.6% during the nine months
           period ended September 30, 2000 when compared to the similar period
           of 1999. Interest income during the third quarter of the current
           fiscal year was at the same level of income during the similar period
           in the previous fiscal year. The majority of the interest income
           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 $(60,901) during the nine
           month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to a loss of
           $(41,218) in the similar period of 1999. The Registrant also

           (Continued)
           reported a loss of $(58,120) for the three months period ending
           September 30, 2000 as compared to a loss of $(58,683) for the same
           period of 1999. The losses in the current fiscal year are mainly due
           to the lower volume of sales during the third quarter of the fiscal
           year.

      CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

           The Registrant incurred no capital expenditures during the current
      fiscal year. During the previous fiscal year the Registrant incurred less
      then $1,000 in capital expenditures. 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 any material capital expenditures during the balance
      of fiscal year 2000.

      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 59,884 in the first nine months of 2000
      from a negative balance of ($ 56,809) at December 31, 1999 to a negative
      balance of ($116,693) at September 30, 2000.

           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.
