                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
-----------------
                  (a)   GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.

                  The Registrant was incorporated on June 5, 1959 as a New
Jersey corporation, commenced business operations in May, 1960, and was
re-incorporated on March 29, 1965 as a New York corporation.

                  (b)   FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS.

                  For the past three years, market research accounted for 100%
of consolidated operating revenues. No other segment accounted for as much as
15% of consolidated operating revenues during the last three years.

                  (c)   NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
1.  SERVICES
    --------
                  The Registrant operates a data processing service center in
New York City, providing a variety of services principally utilizing computer
packages for the processing of data for use in market research. These packages
can be marketed to many different clients with only very limited program
adaptation.

                  Market research data processing performed by the Registrant
includes the processing of public opinion, readership audience, political,
consumer, and general survey research data for manufacturers, market research
companies, advertising agencies, governmental agencies, financial and
educational institutions, and foundations. The Registrant also designs, prints,
mails, and processes surveys for use in large database research. Data supplied
by the Registrant's clients is refined by the Registrant into statistics
designed to be of assistance to the client.

                  The above applications utilize computer software licensed to
the Registrant. (See Item 2, INFRA.)


                                      I - 1

2.  SOURCES OF RAW MATERIALS
    ------------------------

                  The Registrant's major equipment suppliers are Gateway
Computers, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Megadata Corporation, and Qualstar Corporation.

                  The Registrant has been granted a perpetual license to use
copies of World Research Systems' ("WRS") UNCLE software for cross tabulations
as a result of a marketing agreement between the two companies under which the
Registrant was given the right to market software developed by WRS.

3.   DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN CUSTOMERS
     -------------------------------

                  In 2000, there were three clients who accounted for more than
10% of consolidated operating revenues. These clients reflected 40%, 16%, and
10% of the consolidated operating revenues. Management believes that the loss of
any one or a few of its largest clients would have a material adverse effect
upon the Registrant.

4.  COMPETITION
    -----------

                  The data processing service industry is highly competitive.
The Registrant conducts business in direct competition with many companies
(including both independent service bureaus and diversified companies with
service divisions) which offer a wide range of general data processing services,
including those performed by the Registrant. Some of the Registrant's
competitors are smaller, and some are larger and possess greater financial
resources. Another competitive factor in the data processing service business is
"in-house" data processing, in which a company installs its own data processing
equipment. The increasing availability and lower prices of mini- and
micro-computers have permitted companies to install their own data processing
equipment and to perform their own processing.

                                      I - 2


<PAGE>


                  Companies in the industry compete on the basis of a number of
factors, including price, quality of service, and product features. Management
believes the Registrant's particular strengths are its reputation and expertise
in a wide variety of applications, a well qualified staff, and its advanced
software. The Registrant provides extensive staff support to its clients while
maintaining a competitive price structure within the industry.

5.  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
    ------------------------

                  The Registrant did not engage in any research and development
activities during the last fiscal year and Registrant has not engaged in any
customer-sponsored research activities relating to the development or
improvement of products or services during such period.

6.  EMPLOYEES
    ---------
                  As of March 20, 2001, the Registrant had 4 full-time
employees. Part-time personnel are employed as needed.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
------------------

                  The Registrant maintains its executive offices and data center
operations at 49 East 21st Street, New York, New York. The Registrant's parent
company, Data Probe, Inc. acquired a lease for this location, and the Registrant
will be renting space there on a month-to-month basis. (See Item 13, INFRA.)

                  The Registrant owns two Megadata 8300 Model 4's, a Megadata

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
-------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
----------------------

                  Operating revenue for the three most recent fiscal years
ended December 31, was $432,869 in 2000, $383,047 in 1999, and $394,947 in
1998.

                  During fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 operating revenues
increased by 13.0%, or $49,822. During fiscal year 1999 operating revenues
decreased by 3.0% when compared to the revenues in fiscal year 1998.

                  The increase in revenue during fiscal year 2000 was due to an
increase in revenue from existing customers. Revenue in fiscal year 1999 was
slightly lower as compared to revenue during fiscal year 1998. The reduction in
revenue during fiscal year 1999 was due to a reduction in the composition and
scope of the surveys processed for Registrant's clients during 1999.

                  In 1999 the Registrant's largest client accounted for 40%, or
$171,210, of the Registrant's revenue as compared with 19%, or $73,581, in 1999.
This increase in revenue was the main reason for the increase in overall
Revenue during fiscal year 2000.

                  The Registrant was not successful in adding new clients during
fiscal year 2000. During fiscal year 1999 the Registrant has added several new
clients, while a few other clients either did not repeat their studies or
reduced the amount of work sent to the Registrant.

                  For the past three years market research accounted for 100% of
Registrant's consolidated revenue.

                  Cost of sales increased by 13.4%, or $52,236 in fiscal year
2000 as compared to fiscal year 1999. In fiscal 1999 these costs increased by
3%, or $9,865. The Registrant's structure of cost of sales during the fiscal
1999 was similar to the structure of similar costs during fiscal year 1998. The
Registrant is continuously monitoring its operating cost structure and
implementing cost saving programs wherever appropriate.



                                     II - 3

<PAGE>


                  Selling and administrative expenses were 6.8% lower in fiscal
year 2000. These costs were higher in fiscal year 1999 by 6.4% when compared to
selling and administrative costs during fiscal year 1998.

                  The Registrant operated at a loss in fiscal years 2000 and
1999. These losses were a result of a revenue base that was not sufficient to
cover Registrant's costs.

                  The Registrant had no capital expenditures in 2000 and 1999
and it does not anticipate any capital expenditures in the near future.

                  In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material
impact on the operations of the Registrant.

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.
--------------------------------

                  AS of December 31, 2000 the Registrant's working capital
decreased by approximately $104,263, creating a negative balance of ($161,072).
Working capital at the end of fiscal year 1999 was lower by $116,000 compared to
the working capital at the end of fiscal year 1998.

                  The Registrant's balance sheet at December 31, 2000 reflects a
receivable from its parent company, Data Probe, Inc., which represents a
significant portion of its current assets and therefore its working capital. The
collectability of this receivable is uncertain.

                  The Registrant's continued losses have greatly reduced its
working capital. If the loss trends continue, or if additional revenues cannot
be generated, or if significant operating costs cannot be reduced, 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.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Datatab, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Datatab, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, retained earnings (deficit) and cash flows for each of
the years in the three-years period ended December 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Datatab, Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 2000, and 1999, and result of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

                                DECEMBER 31, 2000



SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------------


         Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (all of which are
wholly-owned) after elimination of inter-company investments, advances and
transactions.

         Inventory - Inventoried costs of uncompleted jobs represents unbilled
labor and overhead charges. Inventories of supplies are stated at the lower of
cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

         Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment and Improvements - Furniture, fixtures,
equipment and improvements are recorded at cost. At the time assets are sold or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from
the asset and depreciation accounts; profits and losses on such dispositions are
reflected in current operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to operations; replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

         Depreciation for financial accounting purposes is computed on the
Straight-line method to amortize the cost of various classes of assets over
their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease.

         Depreciation for income tax purposes is computed substantially on
accelerated methods; deferred income taxes have been provided on the difference
between depreciation expense for financial accounting and income tax purposes;
however, deferred taxes previously provided were eliminated as a result of
accumulated net losses.

         Systems Development Costs - Systems development costs are charged to
operations as incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
-------------------------------------------------------

         Earnings or Loss per Share - Earnings or loss per share is based on the
average number of shares of common stock outstanding each year after deducting
treasury shares.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less at date of purchase are carried at fair value
and are considered to be cash equivalents.

         Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain report amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of financial
instruments approximate their fair value.

COMMITMENTS:
------------

         As of January 1, 1997, Data Probe, Inc. acquired a lease for new
office  space,  and the Company will be renting its offices from them on a month
to month basis.




GOING CONCERN:
--------------

         As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company
incurred net operating losses of $103,414 and $113,475 for each of the two years
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Adverse economic conditions have limited the
ability of the Company to market its services at amounts sufficient to recover
operating and administrative cost. Continued losses have exhausted the remaining
net working capital. Because of the conditions surrounding the Company and its
inability to generate profit, there is doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
