 NOTE C - ACQUISITION

The Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of Macro
International Inc. ("Macro") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April
30, 1999.  The purchase price was comprised of a $22,300 cash payment and
approximately $1,010 of additional costs related to the acquisition.  The fair
value of the net assets acquired was $8,742.  Identifiable intangible assets
valued at $2,960 are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
period of five years.  The excess consideration paid over the estimated fair
value of net assets acquired and identifiable intangible assets of $11,608 has
been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized using the straight-line method
over a period of twenty years.

In addition, over the next two years, the sellers may earn up to an additional
$8,700 of cash payments, contingent upon Macro achieving certain future targets
for revenues and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization.  The pro forma amounts presented below do not give effect to any
such contingent payments.

The unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1999, which assumes the consummation of the Macro purchase as of the
beginning of the period, is as follows:

<TABLE>
        <S>                                          <C>
        Revenues                                     $33,168
        Net income                                       260

          Diluted                                    $  0.06
</TABLE>

The pro forma net income include adjustments for amortization of goodwill and
intangible assets, interest expense, and the related income tax effects of such
adjustments.  Also included in the 1999 period are expenses of $660 incurred by
Macro prior to the acquisition for losses on the closure of certain subsidiaries
and merger related costs.

NOTE D - CREDIT FACILITY

In May 1999, in connection with the Macro acquisition the Company entered into a
credit agreement with a financial institution for a new facility of $50,000 (the
"Senior Facility").  This financial institution later syndicated the facility to
include four additional financial institutions.  The Senior Facility provides
$30,000 of term notes and up to $20,000 of revolving credit for a six-year term
and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The Senior
Facility carries an interest rate at the discretion of the Company of either the
financial institution's designated base rate (9.00% at March 31, 2000) plus 125
basis points or LIBOR (3-month LIBOR was 6.26% at March 31, 2000) plus 250
basis points for both revolving credit and term notes.  Principal payments on
the term notes are due in escalating quarterly installments commencing September
30, 1999.  As of March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $13,246 of
additional credit available under the Senior Facility.  Given that the interest
rates on the revolving credit facility and the notes are based on current market
rates, the carrying value of the amounts due under the credit facility
approximates their fair value at March 31, 2000.

In May 1999, the Company also issued $15,000 of subordinated debentures to a
financial institution.  In exchange for consideration received in connection
with this debt, the Company also
<PAGE>

issued warrants to purchase a maximum of 437,029 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $5.422 per share. The warrants are exercisable
from the date of issuance and expire in 2007. The subordinated financing has an
eight-year term and a coupon rate of 12%.

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

Results of Operations - First Quarter 2000 as compared to First Quarter 1999

Revenues increased $21,569, or 124%, to $38,911 in the first quarter of 2000
from $17,342 in the first quarter of 1999.  This increase is principally due to
$19,346 in revenues generated by ORC Macro, the Company's social research
business acquired in the second quarter of 1999 (the "Macro Acquisition").
Revenue increases for the remainder of the Company were due to the growth in the
Company's teleservices business, where revenue increased by $1,332, or 35%, and
an increase in revenues of $891, or 7%, in the Company's market research
business.

Cost of revenues increased $15,498, or 153%, to $25,596 in the first quarter of
2000 from $10,098 in the first quarter of 1999.  This increase is principally
due to the Macro Acquisition, for which cost of revenues was $13,800 or 89% of
the increase. Cost of revenues for the Company's market research business
increased by $768, or 9%, and cost of revenues for the teleservices business
increased by $930, or 50%, due to the opening of new call centers and resulting
volume increases.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the Company decreased to 34% in the
first quarter of 2000 from 42% in the first quarter of 1999 due primarily to the
impact of the Macro Acquisition, for which the gross profit percentage was 29%.
The gross profit percentage for the market research business decreased to 38%
from 39% and the gross profit percentage for the teleservices business decreased
to 46% from 51%, due to the opening of new call centers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $4,040, or 84%,
to $8,831 in the first quarter of 2000 from $4,791 in the first quarter of 1999.
The Macro Acquisition accounted for $3,577 or 89% of the increase, while SG&A
for the remainder of the Company increased by $463, or 11%.  As a percentage of
revenues, consolidated SG&A decreased to 23% from 28%.

The lower gross profit and lower SG&A percentages for the Macro Acquisition are
due to the nature of its business, as approximately 70% of the Macro
Acquisition's business is conducted with government entities. Consequently, in
accordance with the prescribed accounting procedures for government contractors,
the Macro Acquisition's cost of revenues reflect certain costs attributable to
its contract projects which the Company classifies as general and administrative
expenses for its other operating segments.  Therefore, the inclusion of the
Macro Acquisition in the operating results of the Company has, and will continue
to have, the effect of lowering, as a percentage of revenues, the consolidated
gross profit and SG&A.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $693, or 68%, to $1,708 in
the first quarter of 2000 from $1,015 in the first quarter of 1999.  The Macro
Acquisition accounted for $581 or 84% of the total increase.  As a percentage of
revenue, depreciation and amortization on a consolidated basis decreased to 4%
from 6%.

Interest expense increased to $1,357 from $424 for the first quarter of 2000
relative to the same period in 1999, primarily due to the increased borrowings
to fund the Macro Acquisition.

The provision for income taxes increased to $635 from $462 for the first quarter
of 2000 relative to the same period in 1999, due to the higher level of pre-tax
earnings.  The provisions
<PAGE>

for these periods are higher than the amount that results from applying the
federal statutory rate to income primarily because of the amortization of non-
tax deductible goodwill generated from acquisitions and the impact of state
income taxes.

As a result of all of the above, net income for the Company increased from $552
to $784 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operations for the first three months of 2000 was $2,640.

Investing and financing activities for the first three months of 2000 included
capital expenditures of $1,346 and payments of $2,914 with respect to earn-out
payments for previous acquisitions.  Additionally, in January 2000 the Company
paid $2,000 to the previous owners of ORC ProTel for options granted at the time
of acquisition. These options were recorded as a long-term liability. Net of
borrowings for earn-out related payments and the payment for the acquisition
options, the Company decreased its borrowings by $2,953 in the first quarter of
2000. 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.

In May 1999, in connection with the Macro Acquisition, the Company entered into
a credit agreement with a financial institution for a new facility of $50,000
(the "Senior Facility"). This financial institution later syndicated the
facility to include four additional financial institutions.  The Senior Facility
provides $30,000 of term notes and up to $20,000 of revolving credit for a six-
year term and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The
Senior Facility carries an interest rate at the discretion of the Company of
either the financial institution's designated base rate  (9.00% at March 31,
2000) plus 125 basis points or LIBOR (3-month LIBOR was 6.26% at March 31, 2000)
plus 250 basis points for both revolving credit and term notes.  Principal
payments on the term notes are due in escalating quarterly installments
commencing September 30, 1999.  As of March 31, 2000, the Company had
approximately $13,246 of additional credit available under the Senior Facility.
Given that the interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the notes are
based on current market rates, the carrying value of the amounts due under the
credit facility approximates their fair value at March 31, 2000.

In May 1999, the Company also issued $15,000 of subordinated debentures to a
financial institution.  In exchange for consideration received in connection
with this debt, the Company also issued warrants to purchase a maximum of
437,029 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.422 per
share.  The warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance and expire in
2007.  The subordinated financing has an eight-year term and a coupon rate of
12%.
