claims for self-insured  companies and other medical  provider  networks or cost
containment  companies  providing  services  to  self-insured   companies.   The
Company's automation capabilities encompass the entire workflow process involved
in processing and paying healthcare claims.  Additionally,  the Company provides
third party administrative services through its wholly owned subsidiary.
Revenues are derived primarily from commerce within the United States.

During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in

contained in the Company's  Annual  Report on From  10-KSB/A when  reviewing the
interim financial results presented herein.

In the opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  interim  financial
statements  have been prepared  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC
and  contain  all  material  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal  recurring
adjustments  necessary to present  fairly the  financial  condition,  results of
operations  and cash flows of the Company  for the  respective  interim  periods
presented.  The  current  period  results  of  operations  are  not  necessarily
indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for the full fiscal year

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles  have been  condensed  or  omitted.  The  preparation  of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts  of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

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

The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  the  notes  thereto  contained  in the
Company's  Annual Report on From 10-KSB/A.  The information  below should not be
construed to imply that the results  discussed herein will necessarily  continue
into the  future or that any  conclusion  reached  herein  will  necessarily  be
indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents
only the best present assessment of management of the Company.

Overview

         The Company is the  survivor of the Merger of  Electronic  Transmission
Corporation,   a  Texas   corporation   ("ETC-Texas"),   into  ETC   Transaction
Corporation,  an Alberta, Canada corporation ("ETC-Canada") in the first quarter
of 1997.  The Company and all of its  predecessors  received going concern audit
opinions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.

         ETC-Canada  was  incorporated  as  Solo  Petroleums  Ltd.  ("Solo")  on
September  5,  1986  for the  purpose  of  undertaking  oil and gas  exploration
efforts.  In 1987,  Solo completed a public offering of common stock as a Junior
Capital  Pool  Company  under the policies of the Alberta  Stock  Exchange  (the
"ASE") and the Alberta Securities Commission. Solo common stock was subsequently
listed for trading on the ASE under the trading symbol "SOP". By 1990,  revenues
from oil and gas exploration  efforts had substantially  declined and Solo began
experiencing financial difficulties.  As a result, Solo liquidated substantially
all of its assets and underwent a significant  change in management during 1990.
Since Solo had no significant assets or operations,  its principal potential for
profits  came solely from  operations  received in a merger.  On March 21, 1996,
Solo  changed  its name to  ETC-Canada.  On May 19,  1996,  prior to the Merger,
ETC-Canada  sold  519,717  shares of its  common  stock in a  private  placement
offering.  ETC-Canada then loaned the $779,575 offering proceeds (the "ETC-Texas
Note")  to  fund  its  marketing  and  product  development  efforts  and  costs
associated with the Merger.  Since ETC-Canada had no significant assets,  except
for the ETC-Texas  Note, and was relatively  inactive during the period prior to
the Merger,  management  of the Company does not believe  that a  discussion  of
ETC-Canada's  financial  condition and results of operations  would be relevant.
Therefore,  any  references  to activity  prior to the Merger are  activities of
ETC-Texas, unless otherwise specifically referenced.

         The Company is in the business of providing claims automation,  medical
claims  repricing and third party  administration  services to the  non-provider
sector of the health care industry.  Such services are automated through a broad
range of applications  and data base  information  systems.  In order to provide
such  services,  the Company  contracts  with health care  payors,  self-insured
companies and other payors,  such as TPAs, for automation and EDI services.  The
Company,  through its Electra-Net  division,  also contracts with various health
care provider networks to provide cost containment services to its customers.

         In January 1998, the Company,  through ETC Services,  initiated its TPA
component to service its existing  clients.  The Company,  through ETC Services,
provides a continuum of services to self-insured  corporate  customers beginning
with the scanning of the health care  provider's  claim and concluding  with the
payment to the health care provider.

         The  Company's  revenues are  generated  by different  methods for each
segment  of its  business.  The  Company  is paid a set price for  scanning  and
automating each health care provider claim. Additionally,  the Company is paid a
specific percentage of the "savings" generated by its re-pricing activities. The
TPA  services  are  charged on a set price for each  customer  employee  that is
serviced by the Company.

                                       6

<PAGE>


         The Company has not generated  sufficient  revenues  during its limited
operating history to repay its outstanding indebtedness,  pay its existing trade
accounts, fund its ongoing operating expenses or service development activities.
At March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$113,662 and a working capital deficit of approximately $821,409.

         The Company plans to alleviate its current  financial  problems through
private offerings of debt or equity securities, borrowings and increased profits
from  operations.  Furthermore,  the Company has reviewed its cost structure and
accomplished  a reduction  in the fixed cost portion of its  infrastructure.  In
April 1998, the Company  substantially  reduced its personnel  costs and in June
1998,  successfully  negotiated  with the  landlord  of its  corporate  office a
reduction  of  approximately  $96,000 in annual  rental  expenditures.  Software
improvements  have also been implemented  that management  believes will enhance
productivity.  Also,  additional  research and development  expenditures are not
anticipated   at  this  time.  The  Company  also  believes  that  new  business
opportunities  exist with (i) PPOs;  (ii) claims  processors,  TPAs and small to
medium-sized   insurance   companies;   and   (iii)   large   self-insured   and
self-administered  corporations. The Company believes these market segments have
immediate  operational  needs  for the  Company's  automation  and/or  repricing
products.  The Company has submitted  several  proposals to potential clients in
each of the  afore-referenced  business sectors.  As of the date of this report,
the Company has not entered into any binding  agreements to provide  services to
any potential client which has received a written proposal from the Company.  By
leveraging the experience gained from the Company's existing TPA operation,  the
Company  believes it can now begin to focus on selling its core  competencies to
these segments.

         In fiscal 1996 and 1997,  Wal-Mart  accounted for approximately 64% and
56% of the Company's  revenues,  respectively.  The Wal-Mart contract expires in
September  1998.  The  Company  is  currently  negotiating  a  renewal  of  this
agreement.  The  failure  to renew the  Wal-Mart  contract  will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

         At March 31, 1998, the Company had eight clients including self-insured
companies and medical provider networks.  The Company experienced a reduction in
the number of clients it served as a result of the decision to no longer provide
worker's compensation claims processing services and the loss of certain network
repricing  clients.  The Company  expended  considerable  effort and  resources,
including hiring  personnel with extensive  experience in paying medical claims,
to develop its current work flow process.  Additional  resources were devoted to
(i) defining the exact  services that were needed by the market segment and (ii)
developing,  testing and ultimately implementing these services. While expensive
and time consuming, these activities serve as the basis on which the business of
the Company will operate.  As the Company expands its customer base,  additional
computer equipment and personnel will be required and added. Such expansion will
be funded by the revenues derived from operations and other funding sources that
the Company may find from time to time.

Results of Operations of the Company

Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1997

         Revenues.  Revenues  from  automation  services  totaled  $255,384  and
$312,774 for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Revenues
from repricing  totaled  $508,972 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
repricing  division was not in place for the first quarter of 1997.  The startup
of the TPA  division on January 1, 1998  generated  revenues of $199,714 for the
first quarter of 1998.

                                       7

<PAGE>


         Cost of Revenues.  Costs of automation  services  totaled  $188,827 and
$184,738 for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The costs
for  the  first  quarter  of 1998  were  comprised  of  $106,311  in data  entry
personnel, $49,515 in imaging fees and $9,759 for communication expenses. In the
first quarter of 1997, these costs consisted of $99,815 in data entry personnel,
$60,774 in imaging fees and $9,117 in communication expenses. Costs of repricing
services  were largely  made up of $221,603 in third party  network fees for the
quarter  ended  March  31,  1998.  The  Electra-Net   repricing  division  began
operations in the second  quarter of 1997,  therefore,  there is no  comparative
information  available.  Costs of TPA services  for the quarter  ended March 31,
1998 were  $19,045.  No TPA  services  were  provided by the Company  during the
comparable period in fiscal 1997.

         Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998 was
$527,437 as compared to $128,036 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The gross
profit margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 54% versus 41% for 1997.

         Other Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative costs decreased to
$701,729  for the quarter  ended March 31,  1998,  compared to $755,706  for the
quarter  ended March 31,  1997.  Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses
consisted  primarily of personnel costs, rent,  telephone and professional fees.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, total personnel costs were $527,904, total
rent  costs  were  $43,373,   total  telephone  costs  were  $40,906  and  total
professional  fees were  $7,223.  For the quarter  ended March 31,  1997,  total
personnel  costs were $456,870,  total rent costs were $43,373,  total telephone
costs were $12,006 and total professional fees were $199,053.  Professional fees
were incurred  primarily  due to the  preparation  and filing of a  registration
statement, year-end audit and general corporate matters.

         Net interest  expense  increased to $10,307 for the quarter ended March
31, 1998 compared to $7,978 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997.  The increase
is primarily related to the Company's issuance of convertible  debentures in May
1997.

         Net Loss. The Company  incurred a net loss of $686,491 and $233,146 for
the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The Company expects to
incur losses in future  periods until it generates  sufficient  revenues from an
expanded client base to offset ongoing operating costs and expansion expenses.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Since its inception,  the Company has financed its operations,  working
capital needs and capital expenditures principally through private placements of
equity  securities.  Cash and cash  equivalents at March 31, 1998 were $113,662,
and the Company had a working  capital  deficit of  $821,409.  The Company has a
note  payable  in the  amount of  $99,881  bearing  interest  at 12% per  annum.
Payments  of $7,553  including  interest  are due  monthly,  with the  remaining
balance  plus  interest  due  upon  maturity  on  May  19,  1998.  The  note  is
collateralized  by an option to purchase  28,333 shares of Common Stock at $6.00
per share.  The Company is in default on this  obligation,  but is  presently in
negotiations  with the lender to restructure  the terms of the  afore-referenced
obligation.  A  subordinated  convertible  debenture  of  $100,000  payable to a
corporation  was issued in 1997. The debenture bears an interest rate of 12% per
annum,  payable  semi-annually with principal due upon maturity at May 12, 1998.
The debenture is convertible at $5.00 per common share  including  principal and
accrued  interest.  The Company is presently in default on this  obligation  but
believes  it will be able to settle this  matter  with the  debenture  holder on
mutually acceptable terms.

                                       8

         The Company  signed a  Securities  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Purchase
Agreement")  on December 17, 1997 with Special  Situations  Private Equity Fund,
L.P. and Special Situations Cayman Fund, L.P. (collectively, the "Investors") in
which it agreed to sell to the Investors up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of
Common Stock for total proceeds of $1,500,000. The Purchase Agreement called for
the sale and  purchase of the  available  shares to occur in two  tranches.  The
First Closing  occurred on December 17, 1997 with an issuance of 611,930  shares
of Common Stock for  $1,223,859.50 in proceeds.  Proceeds from the First Closing
have been used for working  capital.  The Investors have elected not to purchase
any additional  shares of Common Stock available under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement.

         The Company's  independent  auditors have included a paragraph in their
report to the Company's  Board of Directors and  stockholders  which states that
the  Company's  loss  from  operations  and  working  capital  deficiency  raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company
is currently  reviewing its cost  structure  and has  implemented a strategy for
reducing  the  fixed  cost  portion  of its  infrastructure,  which  included  a
reduction in personnel costs and rental  expenditures.  The Company also intends
to increase its current sales force by entering into marketing  agreements  with
certain  consultants to provide additional clients and increase revenues.  As of
the date of this report,  the Company has not entered  into any such  consulting
agreements.  Additionally,  software  improvements  have been  implemented  that
management  believes  will  enhance  productivity.  The  Company  has no planned
material working capital expenditures over the next 12-month period. The Company
believes  that by  continuing  to reduce  the fixed  costs  associated  with its
infrastructure,  through  capital raised from private debt or equity  financings
and through  implementation of its marketing  strategy it may be able to satisfy
its cash requirements for the next 12 months.  However,  there can no assurances
given that any  liquidity  sources can be found or that working  capital will be
provided from improved operations to satisfy the Company's cash requirements for
this period.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On March 20, 1998, the Employment Agreement between the Company and Ann
C. McDearmon,  the Company's  Executive Vice President -- Director of Marketing,
was  terminated.  Ms.  McDearmon,  in a lawsuit filed on April 20, 1998 in State
District Court of Dallas County,  Texas,  alleged that the Employment  Agreement
was  effectively  terminated  by the  Company  as a result of the  change in the
Company's  management  in  February  1998 and  because of  modifications  to Ms.
McDearmon's work  responsibilities.  Ms. McDearmon also alleged that as a result
of the  termination  of the  employment  agreement  she is  entitled  to certain
liquidated  damages  identified in the  agreement.  Ms.  McDearmon's  employment
agreement  provides that should she be terminated  for any reason other than for
cause she would be entitled to receive (i) 25% of all base salary  ($60,000  per
year) that would  have been  earned  from the date of  termination  through  the
expiration of the term of the agreement  (December  31, 2000);  (ii)  commission
payments for a period of one year from the date of  termination;  and (iii) free
medical  insurance  coverage for life. The Company  maintains that Ms. McDearmon
voluntarily  terminated  the  employment  agreement by submitting  her letter of
resignation  on March 20, 1998 and that she is not  entitled  to any  additional
compensation  or  liquidated  damages  under  the terms of such  agreement.  The
Company intends to vigorously  defend this lawsuit and does not believe that the
outcome will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.  Other
than the foregoing, the Company is not currently a party to any litigation.
