                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company
and Subsidiaries' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001.

In the statement of cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2001, certain
amounts in accrued expenses have been reclassified to payments for acquisitions
as noted in the liquidity and capital resources section in Item 2 of this
report.

NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In addition to the adoptions reported in Note G herein, effective January 1,
2002, the Company adopted Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes Statement No. 121, Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of, and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed
of. Although retaining many of the fundamental recognition and measurement
provisions of Statement 121, the new rules significantly change the criteria
that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. The adoption of
Statement 144 did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.

NOTE C - CREDIT FACILITY

The Company maintains a credit agreement with a financial institution which
provides, among other things, a revolving credit facility of up to $24,000. As
of June 30, 2002, the Company had $6,830 of additional credit available under
this facility.

NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 1, 2002, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to
increase the number of shares of its common stock authorized for issuance from
10,000 to 20,000. The amendment was approved by the Company's stockholders at
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company on May 14, 2002.

NOTE G - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. Under Statement
142, goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are no
longer amortized. However, the Statement requires such assets be reviewed for
impairment annually, or more frequently if certain indicators arise, using the
guidance specifically provided in the Statement. The Company used expected
future discounted cash flows and earnings multiples to determine the fair value
of its reporting units and whether any impairment of goodwill existed as of the
adoption date. As a result of this evaluation, the Company recorded as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, goodwill impairment
related to the Company's Mexican subsidiary of $292, or $(0.05) per share, as of
January 1, 2002.

Additionally, the Company reclassified the net $865 unamortized balance of its
assembled workforce intangible asset to goodwill as of the adoption date, as the
Statement provides that such assets are not recorded separately from goodwill.

The following table reflects the Company's comparative net income before the
cumulative effect of the accounting change and amortization of goodwill and
workforce under Statement 142:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(dollars in thousands)

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the Company's
interim financial statements and notes thereto, which appear elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Company's audited financial statements
and the MD&A contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2002 (the "Form 10-K"). The
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The words "may," "could," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," or
"intend" and similar expressions and phrases are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. As a result of many factors, including the factors
set forth under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements" in the Form 10-K, the
Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations - Second Quarter 2002 as Compared to Second Quarter 2001

Revenues for the second quarter of 2002 decreased $382, or 1%, to $44,777 from
$45,159 in 2001. Revenues increased $2,605, or 11%, in the Company's social
research business, $110, or 2%, in U.K. market research, $184, or 4%, in the
teleservices business and declined $2,951, or 26%, in U.S. market research. In
all cases, the increase or decrease in revenues in the various operating
segments is primarily due to higher or lower demand for services, with $1,300 of
the decline in U.S. market research revenues arising out of the non-renewal of
three contracts.

Cost of revenues decreased $354, or 1%, from $31,011 in 2001 to $30,657 in 2002.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 31% in 2001 to 32% in
2002. For the social research business, cost of revenues increased 10% from
$18,004 in 2001 to $19,850 in 2002 and the gross profit percentage was stable at
26% in both 2001 and 2002. In U.S. market research, cost of revenues decreased
26% from $7,349 in 2001 to $5,410 in 2002 and the gross profit percentage was
stable at 36% in both 2001 and 2002. For U.K. market research, cost of revenues
increased 7% from $2,670 in 2001 to $2,864 in 2002 and the gross profit
percentage declined from 40% in 2001 to 37% in 2002, primarily as the result of
higher contracting and compensation costs. In the teleservices business, cost of
revenues increased 2% from $2,242 in 2001 to $2,288 in 2002 and the gross profit
percentage increased from 48% in 2001 to 49% in 2002, reflecting improved
productivity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $236, or 2%, to
$10,218 in the second quarter of 2002 from $9,982 in the second quarter of 2001.
As a percentage of revenues, consolidated SG&A increased to 23% from 22%.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $956 to $1,134 in the second
quarter of 2002 from $2,090 in the second quarter of 2001. The adoption of
Statement 142 at the beginning of 2002 accounted for $937 of this decrease.

<PAGE>

Interest and other non-operating expenses decreased by $229 to $1,138 in the
second quarter of 2002 from $1,367 in the second quarter of 2001. The decline is
principally due to the decrease in interest expense, which is attributable to
lower interest rates and lower debt levels.

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2002 and the second
quarter of 2001 was $653 and $355, respectively. The provisions for these
periods are higher than the amount that results from applying the federal
statutory rate to income primarily because of the impact of state taxes and, for
the second quarter of 2001, the amortization of non-deductible goodwill
generated from acquisitions.

As a result of all of the above, net income increased to $977 in the second
quarter of 2002 from $354 in the second quarter of 2001.

Results of Operations - Six Months Year-to-Date 2002 as Compared to Six Months
Year-to-Date 2001

Revenues for the first six months of 2002 decreased $3,766, or 4%, to $87,228
from $90,994 in 2001. Revenues increased $3,357, or 7%, in the Company's social
research business and $474, or 5%, in U.K. market research. Revenues declined
$6,269, or 27%, in U.S. market research and $1,411, or 14%, in the teleservices
business. In all cases, the increase or decrease in revenues in the various
operating segments is primarily due to higher or lower demand for services, with
$2,800 of the decline in U.S. market research revenues arising out of the
non-renewal of three contracts.

Cost of revenues decreased $2,060, or 3%, to $59,801 in the first six months of
2002 from $61,861 in the first six months of 2001. Gross profit as a percentage
of revenues decreased from 32% in 2001 to 31% in 2002. For the social research
business, cost of revenues increased 5% from $35,263 in 2001 to $37,089 in 2002
and the gross profit percentage increased from 26% in 2001 to 27% in 2002. This
improvement reflects increased margins on fixed price contracts and increased
productivity. In U.S. market research, cost of revenues decreased 24% from
$14,765 in 2001 to $11,206 in 2002 and the gross profit percentage decreased
from 36% in 2001 to 34% in 2002, reflecting reduced efficiencies at the lower
level of service provided. For U.K. market research, cost of revenues increased
12% from $5,331 in 2001 to $5,951 in 2002 and the gross profit percentage
declined from 40% in 2001 to 36% in 2002, primarily as the result of higher
contracting and compensation costs. In the teleservices business, cost of
revenues decreased 15% from $5,218 in 2001 to $4,456 in 2002 and the gross
profit percentage was stable at 48% in both 2001 and 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $334, or 2%, to
$19,876 in the first six months of 2002 from $19,542 in the first six months of
2001. As a percent of revenues, SG&A increased to 23% from 21%.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1,862 to $2,283 in the first
six months of 2002 from $4,145 in the first six months of 2001. The adoption of
Statement 142 in the first six months of 2002 accounted for $1,817 of this
decrease.

<PAGE>

Interest and other non-operating expenses decreased by $467 to $2,323 in the
first six months of 2002 from $2,790 in the first six months of 2001. The
decline is principally due to the decrease in interest expense, which is
attributable to lower interest rates.

The provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2002 and the first
six months of 2001 was $1,179 and $1,233, respectively. The provisions for these
periods are higher than the amount that results from applying the federal
statutory rate to income primarily because of the impact of state taxes and, for
the first six months of 2001, the amortization of non-deductible goodwill
generated from acquisitions.

With the adoption of Statement 142 on January 1, 2002, the Company recorded as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, goodwill impairment
related to the Company's Mexican subsidiary of $292, or $(0.05) per share, in
the first quarter of 2002.

As a result of all of the above, net income increased to $1,474 in the first six
months of 2002 from $1,423 in the first six months of 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2002 was
$3,002 as compared to $2,295 in the first six months of 2001. For the six months
ended June 30, 2002, the net cash provided by operating activities was primarily
generated by net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, a
decrease in accounts receivable of $577, and an increase of $884 in payables and
accrued expenses, offset by an increase in other assets of $693 and decreases in
deferred revenues of $1,771 and other liabilities of $393. For the six months
ended June 30, 2001, the net cash provided by operating activities was primarily
generated by net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, and
a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,915, offset by decreases in payables and
accrued expenses of $1,941, deferred revenues of $1,573, and other liabilities
of $1,265.

Investing activities for the first six months of 2002 included capital
expenditures of $934 and acquisition related payments of $46. Investing
activities for the first six months of 2001 included capital expenditures of
$2,473, earn-out payments of $3,226 to previous ORC ProTel, Inc. shareholders,
and payments of $2,125 to previous shareholders of C/J Research, Inc. and Social
& Health Services, Ltd. based on the respective acquisition agreements.

Financing activities included a net reduction in borrowings during the first six
months of 2002 totaling $2,283 and proceeds from the sale of the Company's
common stock to employees and non-employee directors' stock purchase plans and
the exercises of stock options totaling $407. This compares to net borrowings of
$2,279 and proceeds of $472 from the sale of common stock and the exercises of
stock options in the first six months of 2001.

The Company entered into a joint venture agreement during 2001 for the purpose
of developing new research-based products. Since entering the agreement and
through the end of 2002, it is expected that the Company will fund up to $1,000
in cash or services related to the joint venture. In the first six months of
2002, the Company has contributed $666 in services and cash and, since
inception, has contributed an aggregate of $736. All amounts funded to date have
been expensed.

<PAGE>

As of June 30, 2002, the Company had approximately $6,830 of additional credit
available under its existing credit facility. The Company believes that its
current sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to fund its
long-term obligations and working capital needs for the foreseeable future.
