NOTES TO CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (UNAUDITED)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial data are unaudited, however, in the opinion of management,
the interim data include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods.  The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein
are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by
the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company's
audited financial statements contained in and filed as part of the Form 10-KSB,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This quarterly report should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATION.  Certain balances in the 1996 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with 1997 presentation.  Such reclassifications have no
effect on results of operations or shareholders' equity.


2.   NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Net income  per common and common equivalent share is computed using the
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares assumed
to be outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares consist primarily
of options and warrants to purchase common stock. 


3.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business.  The Company believes that the
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its
financial position, results of operations or net cash flows.


4.  BANK LINE OF CREDIT 

The Company has a $3,000,000 Secured Operating Line of Credit with a commercial
bank.  Under the terms of the agreement, outstanding borrowings bear interest at
prime rate plus 0.25 percent and all assets of the Company are pledged as
collateral.  The agreement contains minimum net worth and working capital
requirements as well as certain other restrictive covenants, as defined by the
agreement, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends.  Availability of the
unused portion of the line of credit is subject to borrowing base requirements
and compliance with loan covenants.  At September 30, 1997, the Company had no
borrowings against this line of credit.


5.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (UNAUDITED)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.   ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which established new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS").  SFAS No. 128 replaced the presentation
of a primary EPS with a basic EPS on the face of the income statement for
entities with complex capital structures, and additional disclosures regarding
the computation of EPS.

SFAS No. 128 will require changes in the computation and presentation of the
Company's EPS commencing with the financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 1997.  Earlier application of this statement is not permitted. 
However, if the Company computed its EPS for the three months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 in a manner consistent with SFAS No. 128, the pro forma
amounts would have been as follows:

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information."  SFAS No. 130 establishes requirements for disclosure of
comprehensive income and becomes effective for the Company's fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998.  SFAS No.131 establishes standards for disclosure about
operating segments in annual financial statements and selected standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers.  The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 will
have no material impact on current disclosures.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

    All statements and trend analyses contained in this item and elsewhere in 
this report on Form 10-QSB relative to the future constitute "forward-looking 
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements are subject to the business 
and economic risks faced by the Company and the Company's actual results of 
operations may differ materially from those contained in the forward looking 
statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these 
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.  The 
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these 
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date 
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

    Results of operations for the periods discussed below should not be
considered indicative of the results to be expected in any future period and
fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the market
price of the Company's Common Stock.  The Company's quarterly and annual
operating results have in the past and may in the future vary significantly
depending on factors such as increased competition and expiration of Enhanced
Directory Assistance ("EDA") contracts, the rapidly changing telecommunications
market, changes in pricing policies by the Company or its competitors, lengthy
sales cycles, lack of market acceptance or delays in the introduction of new
versions of the Company's product or features, the timing of the initiation of
wireless services in new market areas by telecommunications customers, and
general economic conditions.


OVERVIEW

    The Company's revenue growth in the quarter primarily reflected the 
ramp-up in call volume from PCS carriers that initiated service over the past 
year. Net income for the quarter reflected this increased revenue and limited 
activity related to the rollout of new call centers. Revenue and expenses in 
the fourth quarter will be affected by, among other things, the timing of 
the opening of new call centers and the initiation of service by carrier 
customers under existing contracts.

    The Company continues to expand its presence into new geographic markets 
through existing call centers and the opening of new call centers.  Call 
centers located in the Sacramento and Dallas areas are in start-up phase and 
projected to open in the fourth quarter of 1997.  The Company expects to open 
additional new call centers during 1998 as it continues to build out its 
nationwide call center network.  During the quarter, the company acquired 
certain proprietary database technology from Microlytics, Inc. Further, the 
Company expects that it will continue to devote resources to develop 
technology, to provide for system redundancies and to upgrade its computer 
and telephone switching equipment to implement technological improvements in 
all of its call centers.

    In the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998, the 
Company's two contracts with Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile are scheduled to 
conclude. Management believes that it is unlikely that its contracts with 
Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile will be extended or that new contracts will be 
entered into.  These two contracts accounted for 15.6 and 20.4 percent of 
revenues in the third quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 18.3 and 
21.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

COMPARISON OF THIRD QUARTER OF 1997 TO THIRD QUARTER OF 1996


    Due exclusively to increased call volume, revenues increased 59.7% to $7.1
million from $4.4 million.  Revenues from existing call centers, excluding new
and concluded contracts, grew approximately 22.2% and accounted for $0.9 million
of this increase while revenues from two new call centers accounted for $0.5
million of revenues in the third quarter of 1997.  

    Direct operating costs increased 64.4% to $3.4 million from $2.1 million. 
The increase in direct operating costs was due primarily to increased call 
volumes and the cost of opening and operating two additional call centers in 
1997.  In addition, due to the continuing build-out of the Company's national 
call center network and introduction of its Enhanced Directory 
Assistance-Registered Trademark- ("EDA") service into new markets, the 
Company anticipates direct operating costs as a percentage of revenue to 
increase from 1996 levels.  The Company expects to open additional call 
centers and enter into new markets during the remainder of 1997 and during 
the year 1998.  The costs associated with the start-up of a new call center 
increase overall direct operating costs as a percentage of revenue as the 
call center prepares to launch service and, once open, prior to efficient 
utilization of data and personnel.  In conjunction with the introduction of 
service in a new market, regardless of whether a new call center is opened, 
the Company may acquire additional listings and other data resources to serve 
that market, often in advance of carrier customer service.  Accordingly, the 
Company may experience increased data costs without a corresponding increase 
in revenue.

    General and administrative costs increased 56.5% to $3.0 million from $1.9
million.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs
decreased to 41.9% from 42.7% of revenues.  This decrease resulted primarily
from increased call volumes in 1997 and associated improved operating
efficiencies.  Depreciation and amortization increased by 67.6% to $579,719 from
$345,324 due primarily to the acquisition of new equipment for one of the two
new call centers and additional equipment for existing call centers.

    Interest expense declined 47.5% to $77,405 from $147,437.  This decline was
attributable solely to the reduction in average debt outstanding to $1.4 million
from $2.9 million.
         
    Other income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $138,856 and
was substantially all interest income.  Other expense for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 was $56,275, and consisted primarily of estimated litigation
settlement expenses of $125,400, offset by interest income of approximately
$72,180. 

    During the third quarter of 1997, the Company has recognized no tax expense
as it continues to reduce the deferred tax valuation allowance.


COMPARISON OF THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1997 TO THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1996

    Due exclusively to increased call volumes, revenues increased 29.2% to
$17.0 million from $13.2 million.  Revenues from existing call centers,
excluding new and concluded contracts, grew approximately 18.4% and accounted
for $2.1 million of this increase while revenues from two new call centers
accounted for $0.6 million.  

    Direct operating costs increased 41.3% to $8.5 million from $6.1 million. 
As a percentage of revenues, direct operating costs increased to 50.3% from
46.0%.  These increases were primarily due to increased personnel and data costs
required to serve PCS customers with recently initiated service and relatively
small call volumes. In addition, due to the continuing build-out of the
Company's national call center network and introduction of its EDA service into
new markets, the Company anticipates direct operating costs as a percentage of
revenue to increase from 1996 levels.  The Company expects to open additional
new call centers and enter into new markets during the remainder of 1997 and
during 1998.  The costs associated with the start-up of a new call center
increase overall direct operating costs as a percentage of revenue for a period
of time as the call center prepares to launch service and, once open, prior to
efficient utilization of data and personnel.  In conjunction with the
introduction of service in a new market, regardless of whether a new call center
is opened, the Company may acquire additional listings and other data resources
to serve that market, often in advance of carrier customer service. 
Accordingly, the Company may experience increased data costs without a
corresponding increase in revenue.

                                       7
<PAGE>

    General and administrative costs increased 49.9% to $8.2 million from $5.4
million.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs
increased to 48.0% from 41.4%.  These increases resulted primarily from
increased depreciation and amortization expense, expansion of technical and
support staff, the support of increased operational activity overall and costs
associated with the opening and operation of two additional call centers during
1997.  Depreciation and amortization increased by 72.8% to $1,555,820 from
$898,800 due primarily to the acquisition of new equipment for one of the two
new call centers and additional equipment for existing call centers.

    Interest expense declined 42.6% to $262,324 from $457,121.  This decline
was attributable solely to the reduction in average debt outstanding to $1.6
million from $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

    Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $332,513 and
consisted primarily of interest income of $450,981, offset by $84,692 of losses
on disposal of fixed assets and $20,950 of expenses for the early termination of
a facility lease upon relocation of a call center.  Other expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 was $214,797 and consisted primarily of
estimated litigation settlement expenses of approximately $280,323 and $33,195
related to the write-off of the remaining value of certain miscellaneous assets,
offset by interest income of $101,890.

    During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company has recognized
no tax expense as it continues to reduce the deferred tax valuation allowance.
    

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost which
approximates their fair market value.  As of September 30, 1997, the Company had
$11.4 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $14.1 million at December
31, 1996, a decrease of $2.7 million primarily from the acquisition of
equipment.

    Working capital was $12.1 million at September 30, 1997, compared to $15.0
at December 31, 1996.  The decline was primarily due to the use of cash for
capital equipment acquisitions.
 
    The Company has a  $3.0 million secured operating line of credit with a
commercial bank.  Availability of the unused portion of the line of credit is
subject to borrowing base requirements and compliance with loan covenants.  At
September 30, 1997, the Company had no borrowing against the line of credit.

    CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS.  Net cash provided by operating activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $2.0 million, resulting primarily
from net income and the effect of the noncash item, depreciation and
amortization.  Two call centers, opened in 1997, primarily serve PCS customers
that have recently initiated service in some of their respective markets.  Due
to the relatively small call volumes in these markets, the related call centers
were net users of cash, while most existing call centers contributed to cash
flow from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

    CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES.  Net cash used in investing activities
was $4.9 million and was primarily related to capital expenditures for system
redundancy capabilities, equipment upgrades to implement technological
improvements for certain locations, acquisitions for a new call center in the
New York area and relocation of two existing call centers.  

    CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES.  Net cash provided by financing
activities was $141,245 which was primarily from the exercise of stock options
and warrants, offset by principal payments on existing capital leases.

    FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS AND RESOURCES.  The Company's future needs for
financial resources include amounts for the purchase of equipment for the
technological and other upgrading of existing call centers, for the
establishment of new call centers and the funding of start-up losses for newly
opened call centers.  The Company believes its existing capital resources and
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital
and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.

    EFFECT OF INFLATION.  Inflation was not a material factor affecting the
Company's business during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
