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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 increased 23.2% to
$72,017 as compared to $58,448 for the corresponding period of 1998. The
increase in revenue was the result of an increase in volume received from other
clients and in spite of the fact that the Registrant's revenue from its largest
client was significantly lower during the first quarter of the fiscal year.

     Cost of sales increased slightly in the three month period ended March 31,
1999 as compared to the similar period of 1998.

     Selling and Administrative (S&A) expenses decreased 7.9% to $37,502 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $40,697 for the
corresponding period of 1998.

     Interest revenue was lower for the three month period ending March 31, 1999
when compared to the similar period of 1998. 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 $(51,656), or ($.07) per share, during the
three month period ending March 31, 1999 as compared to a loss of $(63,942), or
($.09) per share, in the similar period of 1998. The loss is the direct result
of the Registrant's inability to generate sufficient additional revenue to cover
it's current structure of costs.

                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 1999. To conform to the year 2000 requirements, the Registrant intends
to upgrade the equipment and software it uses for accounting. This capital
expenditure will occur during the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

     Working capital decreased by $48,791 in the first three months of 1999 from
a surplus of $59,271 at December 31, 1998 to a surplus of $10,480 at March 31,
1999.

     The Registrant receives cash deposits from a client in association with
various projects. There is no assurance that the stream of sales and revenue
from the Registrant's major client 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.
