2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial  information,  the  instructions  of  Form  10-QSB  and  Rule  310  of
Regulation  S-B  and,  therefore,  do not  include  all  information  and  notes
necessary for a presentation  of results of operations,  financial  position and
cash flows in conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The
balance  sheet at June 30,  1999 has been  derived  from the  audited  financial
statements  at that  date,  but  does not  include  all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements.  The financial  statements  should be read in conjunction
with the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the year ended June 30,
1999.  In the opinion of the  Company,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been made. Results of
operations  for the  nine  months  ended  March  31,  2000  are not  necessarily
indicative of those expected for the year ending June 30, 2000.

USE OF ESTIMATES
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States,  requires  management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
- -------------------
Revenues are recognized as services are provided.  Deferred revenues,  resulting
from customer  prepayments,  are recognized as services are provided  throughout
the term of the  agreement.  Deferred  revenues  resulting  from  the  Company's
agreements  with  Data  Transmission   Network  Corporation  ("DTN")  are  being
amortized over the term of the anticipated future revenue stream, a period of 42
months, commencing on June 1, 1999.

BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ------------------------------------
The weighted  average shares  outstanding  are determined as the mean average of
the shares outstanding and assumed to be outstanding during the period.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
- --------------------------------------
In connection  with certain  contracts  entered into between the Company and its
Strategic Marketing Partners,  the Company has capitalized  software development
costs related to certain  product  enhancements  in accordance with Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 86,  "Accounting  for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", effective July 1, 1998.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
- ------------------------
The  Company  maintains  stock  option  plans  for  employees  and  non-employee
directors  that provide for the granting of stock  options for a fixed number of
shares with an exercise  price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date
of grant. The Company accounts for these stock  compensation plans in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees"  ("APB No.  25").  Certain  options,  which have been  repriced,  are
subject to the  variable  plan  requirements  of APB No. 25, that  requires  the
Company  to record  compensation  expense  for  changes in the fair value of the
Company's Common Stock.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------

In December  1999, the SEC staff  released  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue  Recognition  in Financial  Statements"  ("SAB 101").  SAB 101 provides
interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue
in the financial statements. SAB 101 must be applied to the financial statements
no later than the quarter  ending  September  30,  2000.  The  Company  does not
believe  that  the  adoption  of SAB 101  will  have a  material  affect  on the
Company's financial results.

At March 31, 2000  $612,000  of the  Company's  prepaid  common  stock  purchase
warrants  ("Prepaid  Warrants")  were  outstanding.  At that date,  the  Prepaid
Warrants were  convertible  into 437,000  shares of Common  Stock.  Additionally
there were 3,597,200 common stock purchase warrants  outstanding.  Such warrants
have  exercise  prices  ranging  from $0.60 to $72.00 per share and expire  from
March 2001  through  October  2004.  Additionally,  the Company has  established
employee stock option plans and authorized restricted stock awards to employees,
directors, and consultants to the Company. These options are intended to qualify
as  incentive  stock  options  within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended,  or as  nonqualified  stock  options.  The options are
partially  exercisable  after one year from date of grant and no options  may be
granted after April 15, 2006. At March 31, 2000,  options and  restricted  stock
awards have been  authorized for the purchase of 733,000 shares of the Company's
Common  Stock.  None of the  warrants  or  options  have  been  included  in the
computation  of  diluted  loss  per  share  because  their  inclusion  would  be
antidilutive.

6.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In  connection  with the grant of  certain  stock  options,  warrants  and other
compensation arrangements, the Company has recorded charges to earnings that are
noncash in nature. These grants are subject to the variable plan requirements of

in the fair value of the Company's Common Stock.

7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

By letter dated April 10, 1998,  Michael  Fishman,  then Vice President of Sales
for the Company,  resigned his position. On or about April 24, 1998, Mr. Fishman
filed a complaint  against the  Company,  Sebastian  E.  Cassetta and four other
defendants in the United States  District Court for the District of Connecticut.
The complaint  asserted  claims under  Sections  10(b) and 18 of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as well as several state law claims,  including  breach of
contract, fraud and misrepresentation.  Mr. Fishman alleged that the Company (1)
failed to pay him the benefits and compensation to which he was entitled and (2)
made material misrepresentations in its filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  On December 11, 1998,  the Court  granted the  Company's  motion to
dismiss Mr. Fishman's action without prejudice to the plaintiff to seek leave to
file an amended  complaint within 30 days. On May 12, 1999, the Court denied the
plaintiff's  subsequent motion for leave to file a substituted  complaint on the
basis that the federal  securities law claim,  the only federal claim alleged by
the plaintiff,  was still deficient.  Accordingly,  the federal securities claim
was dismissed with prejudice. On or about June 4, 1999, Mr. Fishman commenced an
action  against  the same  defendants  and  added as a  seventh  defendant,  the
Company's former President,  Steven Francesco, in the Connecticut Superior Court
for the Judicial  District of  Stamford/Norwalk  at Stamford  alleging breach of
contract,   breach  of  duty  of  good  faith  and  fair   dealing,   fraudulent
misrepresentation,  negligent misrepresentation,  intentional  misrepresentation
and failure to pay wages.  The defendants  have answered the complaint and filed
counterclaims  for fraudulent  inducement and breach of contract.  Plaintiff has
responded to the counter-claim,  and discovery is proceeding.  By pleading dated
February 29, 2000, Mr. Fishman filed an application with the Court seeking entry
of a prejudgment  remedy in the amount of  $19,250,000.  To date, Mr.  Fishman's
application has not been acted on by the Court and no hearing date has been set.
Although  the  Company is  vigorously  defending  this  action,  there can be no
assurance that it will be successful.

On or about May 11,  1998,  Ronald  G.  Weiner  filed a  complaint  against  Mr.
Francesco and the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,  County
of New York.  The complaint  alleges,  among other things,  that in May 1993, by
letter from Mr.  Francesco,  Mr.  Weiner was offered a 10% equity stake in Smart
Phone  Services,  Inc.  ("SPS"),  a Subchapter S company of which Mr.  Francesco
allegedly  was the President  and sole  shareholder,  in exchange for his active
involvement  in, among other things,  raising capital and managing the financial
aspects of SPS. The complaint alleges that, in November 1993, Mr. Francesco sent
a letter  to Mr.  Weiner  in which he (1)  represented  that SPS had  failed  to
attract a single  investor  and (2)  withdrew  his offer to Mr.  Weiner of a 10%
equity  position in SPS. The complaint  further  alleges that, in  conversations
with Mr. Weiner  beginning in November 1993, Mr.  Francesco  represented that he
was ceasing all efforts to capitalize  SPS. The complaint  alleges,  among other
things,  that Mr.  Francesco and SPS breached their agreement with Mr. Weiner by
withdrawing
                                       11
<PAGE>

their  offer to him of a 10%  equity  stake in SPS,  and  that,  at the time Mr.
Francesco  represented  that he was ceasing  efforts to  capitalize  SPS, he had
actually  formed  SmartServ  and was  actively  seeking  investors  for it.  The
complaint  further  alleges  that the Company is a  successor  entity to SPS and
that,  therefore,  the  Company is liable for SPS' and Mr.  Francesco's  alleged
conduct in derogation of their alleged agreement with Mr. Weiner.  The complaint
seeks, among other things, (1) a declaratory judgment declaring Mr. Weiner a 10%
equity  shareholder  of the Company,  (2) a constructive  trust in Mr.  Weiner's
favor for 10% of the Company `s equity  shares and (3)  restitution  against Mr.
Francesco and the Company for unjust enrichment. On his unjust enrichment claim,
Mr. Weiner seeks unspecified damages that he alleges to be at least $250,000. In
the  Company's  answer  to  the  complaint,  the  Company  denied  the  material
allegations of the complaint and asserted affirmative  defenses. No discovery in
this action has yet been taken.  Although  the Company is  vigorously  defending
this action there can be no assurance that it will be successful.

On or about February 29, 2000, Commonwealth  Associates,  L.P. filed a complaint
against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New
York. The complaint  alleges that on or about August 19, 1999,  Commonwealth and
the Company entered into an engagement letter pursuant to which Commonwealth was
to provide financial  advisory and investment banking services to the

Company in connection with a possible  combination  between the Company and Data
Link Systems Corporation. The engagement letter provided for a nonrefundable fee
of  $15,000  payable  in cash or  common  stock  at the  Company's  option.  The
complaint  alleges that  notwithstanding  the terms of the engagement letter the
fee was to be paid in stock and seeks 13,333  shares of common stock or at least
$1,770,000  together  with interest and costs.  In the  Company's  answer to the
complaint,  the  Company  denied  the  material  allegations  of the  complaint.
Discovery in this action has recently commenced and is proceeding.  Although the
Company is vigorously  defending  this action there can be no assurance  that it
will be successful.

While the Company  intends to vigorously  defend these actions,  the unfavorable
outcome of any such action could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 15,  2000,  the Company  completed  an offering of 353,535  shares of its

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
- ------

PLAN OF OPERATION

The  Company   delivers   Internet-based   and  wireless   content  as  well  as
"Web-to-Wireless"  applications,  such as securities  trade order routing,  that
enable  e-commerce by providing  transactional  and information  services to its
alliance partners. The Company has developed online financial, transactional and
media applications using a unique "device-independent" delivery solution.

The  Company's  plan  of  operation  includes  programs  for  the  sale  of  its
information and transactional  application  services through Strategic Marketing
Partners utilizing a  "business-to-business"  strategy. Such a strategy provides
access to a large  number of  potential  subscribers  and allows the  Company to
maximize its market reach at minimal  operating  costs.  The  flexibility of the
Company's  application  software  and  communications  architecture  enables the
customization  of each information  package offered to each Strategic  Marketing
Partner, and in turn to their end users.

As an early  entrant in the dynamic  market for the  distribution  of  financial
information  and  transaction  services  via  wireless  telephones  and personal
digital  assistants,  or PDAs,  the Company is  developing  strategic  marketing
relationships  with  wireless  equipment   manufacturers,   carriers  and  other
value-added  service  providers and potential  corporate  partners.  The Company
continuously seeks to increase product performance and widen its distribution by
building and maintaining this network of Strategic Marketing Partners. Combining
the  Company's   application   development  and  data  platform  with  the  core
competencies  of its  Strategic  Marketing  Partners,  the Company is offering a
packaged turnkey solution for extending content and transactions to the wireless
environment.  Management believes the wireless area has tremendous potential for
distribution of the Company's  information  products and as a source of revenues
from "fee based" transactions such as routing stock order entries;  however, the
Company has yet to derive any revenues from such efforts.

Management  believes  that most of the  Company's  revenues  will continue to be
derived from  consumers who purchase its services  through  Strategic  Marketing
Partners.  The Company  anticipates that Strategic Marketing Partners will brand
its bundled  information  services  with their own private label and promote and
distribute the Company's packaged offering to their clients. The Company has the
ability to customize  the  information  package to be offered to each  Strategic
Marketing  Partner,  by  device.  With  the  licensing  of four of its  Internet
products  by DTN in 1998,  the  Company  has  discontinued  efforts to develop a
direct subscriber base.

Management   anticipates   that  staffing   requirements   associated  with  the
implementation of its plan of operation will result in the addition of a minimum
of six people during the period  ending June 30, 2000.  Such  personnel  will be
added to  assist  with  the  programming  requirements  of  Strategic  Marketing
Partners' product offerings, for customer support and sales and marketing.

Company's Common Stock.  Noncash charges for professional  fees for the quarters
ended  March 31,  2000 and  1999,  were  $366,200  and  $360,300,  respectively,

previously recorded charges of $717,700. The common stock purchase warrants have
been recorded in the financial  statements in accordance with the  Black-Scholes
pricing methodology.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

On June 24,  1999,  the Company and DTN entered  into a License  Agreement  that
amended the companies'  previous  agreement.  In consideration of the receipt of
$5.175 million, the Company granted DTN an exclusive perpetual worldwide license
to the Company's  Internet-based (i) real-time stock quote product,  (ii) online
trading  vehicle for  customers of small and medium sized  brokerage  companies,
(iii)  administrative  reporting  package for brokers of small and medium  sized
brokerage  companies,  and (iv) order entry/routing  system.  Additionally,  the
Company  received  $324,000 in exchange for an  agreement  to issue  warrants to
purchase  300,000  shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price of
$8.60 per share.  The Company has agreed to continue to operate  these  products
and provide maintenance and enhancement services in exchange for a percentage of
the revenues  earned by DTN therefrom.  The cost of the Company's  commitment to
provide such maintenance and enhancement services is limited to a maximum of 20%
of the revenues earned by the Company.  None of the Company's  wireless products
were included in this  transaction.  Although the Company  believes that DTN has
the  experience and financial  ability to distribute  the Company's  services to
thousands of potential  customers,  there can be no assurance  that the products
and  services  will  continue  to be  accepted  by the  ultimate  consumer  on a
widespread basis.

On July 1,  1999,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with  Arnhold & S.
Bleichroeder, Inc. ("ASB") to settle the Company's obligation to ASB pursuant to
the default  provisions of the Prepaid Warrants.  Accordingly,  the Company paid
ASB $325,000 to redeem the Prepaid  Warrants and issued 180,000 shares of Common
Stock in full settlement of all obligations to ASB.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2000,  the Company  issued  474,022 shares of
Common Stock to  investors  upon  exercise of warrants to purchase  such shares.
Proceeds from the exercise of these warrants were $696,944.

On January 18, 2000, the Company  completed an offering  ("Offering") of 333,000
shares of its Common Stock to  accredited  investors.  Gross  proceeds  from the
Offering  amounted to $4,995,000  or $15.00 per share of Common Stock.  American
First  Associates  Corp.,  the  placement  agent for 233,000  shares sold in the
Offering,  received a commission of $279,600, an unaccountable expense allowance
of $25,000 and warrants to purchase  18,640 shares of Common Stock at $15.00 per
share through January 18, 2005 in connection with this transaction.

On May 15,  2000,  the Company  completed  an offering of 353,535  shares of its
Common Stock to accredited investors. Proceeds from this transaction amounted to
$16,715,000,  net of commissions  and other  expenses of $785,000.  The proceeds
from this  transaction will enable the Company to expand its sales and marketing
capabilities and expand its processing  capacity to meet the continuing  demands
of its Strategic Marketing Partners.

Management  believes that upon the  successful  implementation  of its marketing
plan,  sufficient  revenues  will be generated to meet  operating  requirements.
Management  also believes that the successful  execution of its proposed plan of
operations  will  generate  sufficient  cash flow from  operations to enable the
Company to offer its services on an  economically  sound basis. No assurance can
be given that such goals will be obtained or that any expected  revenues or cash
flows will be achieved.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------

In December  1999, the SEC staff  released  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue  Recognition  in Financial  Statements"  ("SAB 101").  SAB 101 provides
interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue
in the financial statements. SAB 101 must be applied to the financial statements
no later than the quarter  ending  September  30,  2000.  The  Company  does not
believe  that  the  adoption  of SAB 101  will  have a  material  affect  on the
Company's financial results.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

By letter  dated  April 10,  1998,  Michael  Fishman,  then the  Company's  Vice
President of Sales,  resigned  his  position.  On or about April 24,  1998,  Mr.
Fishman  filed a complaint  against the Company,  Sebastian E. Cassetta and four
other  defendants  in the  United  States  District  Court for the  District  of
Connecticut.  The complaint  asserted  claims under Sections 10(b) and 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as several state law claims,  including
breach of contract,  fraud and  misrepresentation.  Mr. Fishman alleged that the
Company  (1) failed to pay him the  benefits  and  compensation  to which he was
entitled  and (2)  made  material  misrepresentations  in its  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  On December 11, 1998, the Court granted the
Company's  motion to dismiss  Mr.  Fishman's  action  without  prejudice  to the
plaintiff to seek leave to file an amended  complaint within 30 days. On May 12,
1999,  the Court denied the  plaintiff's  subsequent  motion for leave to file a
substituted  complaint on the basis that the federal  securities law claim,  the
only federal claim alleged by the plaintiff,  was still deficient.  Accordingly,
the federal  securities claim was dismissed with prejudice.  On or about June 4,
1999, Mr. Fishman commenced an action against the same defendants and added as a
seventh  defendant,  the Company's former President,  Steven  Francesco,  in the
Connecticut  Superior  Court for the Judicial  District of  Stamford/Norwalk  at
Stamford  alleging  breach of  contract,  breach of duty of good  faith and fair
dealing, fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation,  intentional
misrepresentation  and failure to pay wages.  The  defendants  have answered the
complaint  and filed  counterclaims  for  fraudulent  inducement  and  breach of
contract.  Plaintiff  has  responded  to the  counter-claim,  and  discovery  is
proceeding.   By  pleading  dated  February  29,  2000,  Mr.  Fishman  filed  an
application  with the Court seeking entry of a prejudgment  remedy in the amount
of $19,250,000.  To date, Mr. Fishman's application has not been acted on by the
Court and no hearing  date has been set.  Although  the  Company  is  vigorously
defending this action, there can be no assurance that it will be successful.

On or about May 11,  1998,  Ronald  G.  Weiner  filed a  complaint  against  Mr.
Francesco and the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,  County
of New York.  The complaint  alleges,  among other things,  that in May 1993, by
letter from Mr.  Francesco,  Mr.  Weiner was offered a 10% equity stake in Smart
Phone  Services,  Inc.  ("SPS"),  a Subchapter S company of which Mr.  Francesco
allegedly  was the President  and sole  shareholder,  in exchange for his active
involvement  in, among other things,  raising capital and managing the financial
aspects of SPS. The complaint alleges that, in November 1993, Mr. Francesco sent
a letter  to Mr.  Weiner  in which he (1)  represented  that SPS had  failed  to
attract a single  investor  and (2)  withdrew  his offer to Mr.  Weiner of a 10%
equity  position in SPS. The complaint  further  alleges that, in  conversations
with Mr. Weiner  beginning in November 1993, Mr.  Francesco  represented that he
was ceasing all efforts to capitalize  SPS. The complaint  alleges,  among other
things,  that Mr.  Francesco and SPS breached their agreement with Mr. Weiner by
withdrawing  their offer to him of a 10% equity stake in SPS,  and that,  at the
time Mr. Francesco represented that he was ceasing efforts to capitalize SPS, he
had actually  formed  SmartServ and was actively  seeking  investors for it. The
complaint  further  alleges  that the Company is a  successor  entity to SPS and
that,  therefore,  the  Company is liable for SPS' and Mr.  Francesco's  alleged
conduct in derogation of their alleged agreement with Mr. Weiner.  The complaint
seeks, among other things, (1) a declaratory judgment declaring Mr. Weiner a 10%
equity  shareholder  of the Company,  (2) a constructive  trust in Mr.  Weiner's
favor for 10% of the  Company's  equity shares and (3)  restitution  against Mr.
Francesco and the Company for unjust enrichment. On his unjust enrichment claim,
Mr. Weiner seeks unspecified damages that he alleges to be at least $250,000. In
the  Company's  answer  to  the  complaint,  the  Company  denied  the  material
allegations of the complaint and asserted affirmative  defenses. No discovery in
this action has yet been taken.  Although  the Company is  vigorously  defending
this action there can be no assurance that it will be successful.

                                       18

On or about February 29, 2000, Commonwealth  Associates,  L.P. filed a complaint
against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New
York. The complaint  alleges that on or about August 19, 1999, Commonwealth  and
the Company entered into an engagement letter pursuant to which Commonwealth was
to provide financial  advisory and investment banking services to the Company in
connection with a possible combination between the Company and Data Link Systems
Corporation.  The engagement  letter provided for a nonrefundable fee of $15,000
payable in cash or common stock at the Company's  option.  The complaint alleges
that  notwithstanding  the terms of the engagement letter the fee was to be paid
in stock and seeks 13,333 shares of common stock or at least $1,770,000 together
with interest and costs. In the Company's  answer to the complaint,  the Company
denied the material  allegations of the complaint.  Discovery in this action has
recently  commenced  and is  proceeding.  Although  the  Company  is  vigorously
defending  this  action  there  can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will be
successful.

While the Company  intends to vigorously  defend these actions,  the unfavorable
outcome of any such action could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On July 1,  1999,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with  Arnhold & S.
Bleichroeder,  Inc.  ("ASB"),  a holder of  $325,000  of the  Company's  Prepaid
Warrants,  to settle the  Company's  obligation  to ASB  pursuant to the default
provisions of the Prepaid  Warrants.  Accordingly,  the Company paid $325,000 to
redeem the Prepaid  Warrants and issued  180,000  shares of Common Stock in full
settlement of all  obligations  to ASB. No  commissions  were paid in connection
with such  transaction.  These shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption
from  registration  provided by Section 4(2) of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").

During the period  ended  March 31, 2000, $1,357,000  of Prepaid  Warrants  were
converted into an aggregate of 810,785 shares of Common Stock of the Company. No
sales  commissions  were paid in connection with such  transactions.  The shares
were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act.

In November 1999, Zanett Lombardier,  Ltd. converted certain warrants held by it
into an aggregate of 25,042 shares of Common Stock.  No sales  commissions  were
paid in  connection  with such  transaction.  The shares were issued in reliance
upon the exemption from registration  provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act.

In  December  1999,  the  Company  issued  16,666  shares  of  Common  Stock  to
