Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


1    Except as set forth in Note 5 below, the interim unaudited financial
     statements as of March 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the three month periods
     then ended, reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management,
     which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
     periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

2    No tax benefit was recorded for the three-month period ended March 31,
     1999, due to uncertainty of realization. The Federal and State tax
     provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 ($680,000) was
     offset by an increase in the estimated deferred tax benefit for the same
     amount.

3    We have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No.
     128, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per common share is computed by
     dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
     of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
     gives effect to stock options and warrants which are considered to be
     dilutive common stock equivalents. Treasury shares have been excluded from
     the weighted average number of shares.

4    We have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No.
     130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This statement requires reporting of
     change in owners' equity that does not result directly from transactions
     with owners. An analysis of these changes follows:

OVERVIEW

We provide Web based solutions that enable our customers to make timely
decisions, transact business, disseminate information and collaborate among
co-workers, customers, suppliers and partners by transforming any type of
computer information, regardless of platform or application, into a real-time,
internet web page.

Our flagship offering, the Metaphoria Virtual Web Server is a patent pending,

beginning-to-end offering of internet business solutions for our customers. In
addition, we continue to offer Y2K validation and remediation services for
legacy systems. These offerings enable our customers to reduce costs for
information management as well as solve internal information handling needs.
They also allow our customers to benefit from the unique marketing and business
opportunities afforded by the move to internet commerce.

We have seen an excellent response to our Metaphoria offering since its release
this quarter. However, the launching of our Internet and E-commerce offering is
still in its early stages. We anticipate a favorable launch but the potential
must be evaluated from the perspective of a start-up Internet opportunity in its
early stages of development. Some of these risks include the impact of start-up
and acquisition costs, the volatility of the emerging internet marketplace, the
ability to gain an edge on our competition, proper visibility and the risk of
government regulation in the internet sector. Other risks that we face include,
but are not limited to, the ability to restructure our people and strategies to
effectively penetrate the E-commerce marketplace, successfully implement our
marketing strategies, gain synergies from our recent mergers and acquisitions,
and develop ongoing technologies ahead of our competitors. There are no
assurances that we will succeed in addressing any or all of these risks.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

As noted in the 1998 audited consolidated financial statements in our annual
report on Form 10-K, the first quarter 1998 revenue and income numbers do not
reflect adjustments taken during the fourth quarter of 1998, relating to a
reduction of approximately $1,150,000 in revenue and $1,000,000 in net earnings,
both of which were allocated to the first quarter 1998.



                                       9

Revenues are currently derived from Y2K remediation and validation services.
Remediation service is the process of using our software programs to make the
customer's application code Y2K compliant. Validation services verifies whether
a customer's code is Y2K compliant. Revenues decreased $2,698,000 from
$8,408,000 in first quarter 1998 to $5,710,000 in first quarter 1999 (or 32%).
This decrease was the result of a change in service demand from mostly
remediation services during 1998 to mostly validation services in 1999. The
validation services are priced significantly lower than remediation services. We
expect this trend to continue for the remainder of 1999 so that we will derive
substantially all of our revenues from validation services in our Y2K
operations.

Total operating expenses increased by $1,959,000 (or 29%) from $6,647,000 in
first quarter 1998 to $8,606,000 in first quarter 1999. Year 2000 operating
expenses increased $1,001,000 while start-up expense related to the E-commerce
business accounted for the balance of $958,000. Payroll and related items
increased $1,729,000 (or 37%) to $6,412,000. Year 2000 payroll and related
expenses increased by $1,286,000 (or 27%). Most of this increase was due to the
use of outside contractors to perform specific software testing services
requested and paid for by our customers. Payroll and related expenses for our
E-commerce start-up accounted for $443,000. Depreciation and amortization
increased by $273,000 (or 84%). This was essentially caused by the impact of a
full year's depreciation of Y2K assets purchased in 1998. The E-commerce
start-up had first quarter 1999 equipment and software purchases of $905,000
which resulted in $32,000 of first quarter 1999 depreciation. Advertising
expenditures increased $89,000 (or 32%). As a result of shifting our emphasis
from Y2K services to our E-commerce offering, the Y2K advertising expense
decreased by $133,000 (or 48%). Total E-commerce advertising expense for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $222,000. Bad debt expense dropped 100% from
$85,000 in first quarter 1998 to $0 in first quarter 1999. We believe that our
current reserve for doubtful accounts of $169,000 is adequate. Litigation costs
decreased by $47,000 as the legal costs for the litigation noted in the 1998 10K
decreased. Other Operating Expenses were flat from first quarter 1998 compared
to first quarter 1999, decreasing only $2,000. However, Y2K Other Operating
Expenses decreased by $248,000 as we shifted our resources into the E-commerce
start-up activities during the first quarter of 1999. E-commerce Other Operating
Expenses totaled $246,000. Most of this cost was for travel and related
marketing and general administrative support services related to start-up. Other
Income (Expense) increased to ($256,000) from ($62,000) or 313% mainly due to
acquisition costs incurred in 1999 related to the new E-commerce offerings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

At March 31, 1999, we had working capital of $6,483,000, as compared to working
capital of $7,250,000 at December 31, 1998, a decrease of $767,000 (or 10.5%).
We had cash and cash equivalents of $2,652,000 at March 31, 1999, compared to
cash and cash equivalents of $2,963,000 at December 31, 1998, a decrease of
$311,000 (or 10.5%). As a result of the faster than expected decline in our year
2000 revenues, we have been, and expect to continue, operating at a loss for at
least the second and third quarters of 1999.

We expect to spend approximately $1.6 million for furniture, fixtures, and
equipment for the new headquarters, which we will begin to occupy in June 1999.
In addition, our monthly rental will increase as we move into our new
headquarters during the second quarter of 1999. We also expect to continue to
incur additional expenses related to the anticipated acquisitions of Tumble
Interactive, Inc. and, especially, Data Systems Network Corporation. Upon the
completion of the Data Systems acquisition, in addition to other expenses, the
combined companies will be liable for approximately $1,000,000 in acquisition
costs, including $750,000 in fees to investment bankers.

In order to fund our expected losses and expenditures as set forth above, we
will be required to reduce the existing levels of operating expenses as well as
to raise additional debt and equity financing. We are currently in discussions
with various potential investors and institutional lenders. However, there can
be no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts.

In addition to seeking alternative sources of funding, our management has
undertaken a number of initiatives aimed at restructuring and reengineering our
operations and processes. Our management believes that these changes will assist
us in reducing overhead as we make the transition from mainly being a provider
of Year 2000 services to mainly internet related products and services.
Management has instituted a number of controls aimed at reducing travel and
other discretionary expenses and is reviewing a number of similar cost control
measures. We also recently initiated several overhead-reducing measures,
including a substantial workforce reduction, since the end of the first quarter
1999, of approximately 25%. This reduction in workforce will save the Company



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

approximately $4,200,000 on an annualized basis. The focus of these measures is
to help reduce related costs as Year 2000 revenues decline. We plan to continue
to closely monitor our expenses and overhead and to take additional actions as
are appropriate.

As a result of our previously announced adjustment to our financial statements
for the 1998 fiscal year, Marshall Capital Corporation ("Marshall"), which
purchased $3 million of our convertible debentures (the "Debentures") on March
5, 1999, has advised us that it believes that the representation contained in
the Debentures relating to our financial statements was incorrect. We have
negotiated a modification to the terms of the Debenture that will facilitate
Marshall's ability to convert the Debenture and reduce its exposure as set forth
in an Exhibit to this Form 10-Q. We do not believe that Marshall will assert a
default under the Debenture at this time, but no assurances can be given that it
will not declare a default at some point in the future.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs that were written using
two digits rather than four to identify the applicable year. Any of our computer
equipment, software and devices with embedded technology that are time-sensitive
may mistakenly identify a date field using "00" as the year 1900, rather than
the year 2000.

State of Readiness. We provide Y2K remediation and validation services to
Fortune 500 companies and government agencies and intend to employ the same
methods and processes to complete our own internal Y2K project. We established a
Y2K task force, comprised of members representing our various areas of business
operation, to assess, remediate and test the impact of Y2K on our IT and non-IT
systems, material third party relationships, and services. As identified by the
task force, our Y2K issues that may have a material impact on our ability to
continue our normal business practices include: internal business systems;
internet and intranet service; telecommunications; power; and the compliance and
readiness of our third party suppliers, vendors, and customers. The task force
has divided our Y2K project into three major phases: (1) identification,
assessment and planning; (2) remediation; and (3) verification and contingency
planning. We have substantially completed the first phase and plan to begin the
remediation phase after the move to our new headquarters. To date, our progress
has not revealed any information which indicates that the magnitude of our Y2K
problem is material. During the remediation phase of the project, we will
replace obsolete systems and update (or repair) the hardware, embedded systems
or applications both internally developed and those purchased from third party
vendors so they are Y2K compliant. During the verification and contingency
planning phase of the project, we will perform acceptance testing and review the
results to determine that the updated applications or internally remediated
systems are ready to return to production as well as remove any unused and
outdated hardware and software, and migrate the various systems to production
status. Based on information compiled to date, we continue to expect to
substantially complete our compliance project, as outlined above, by the end of
the third quarter 1999. In addition to our own compliance efforts, we are
conducting an assessment of the third parties with which we have material
relationships to determine if they are Y2K compliant. We have contacted our key
vendors and suppliers and to date, we have not received sufficient responses to
make a definitive statement; however, the responses received indicate that these
key vendors and suppliers are addressing their Y2K issues. We have received
responses from most of the vendors and suppliers that are supplying either IT or
non-IT systems for the new headquarters and they have indicated that they have
or are addressing the Y2K issue. Finally, we have replaced our voice mail
systems with new, Y2K-compliant systems to better provide for the expanding
communication needs of the organization.

Costs to Address Y2K Issues. At this stage of the project, we project the total
estimated cost to be no more than $200,000. These costs consist primarily of the
cost of labor needed to complete our compliance project. The approximate labor
cost during the first quarter 1999 was $70,000, with the remainder to be
incurred in 1999 as the more labor intensive portions of the project are
completed. The move to the new headquarters building, replacement of IT and
non-IT systems and the timing thereof, arose in the ordinary course of our
growth, and are not considered a cost associated with the Y2K issue. This
treatment reduced our overall estimated costs from those set forth before.

Risks of Year 2000 Issues. The failure to correct a material Y2K problem could
result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. If such failures occur, our results of operations,
liquidity, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected
and we may be required to incur unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems
not addressed by our compliance efforts. Additionally, if any of our 



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

material suppliers or vendors is not fully Y2K compliant, it is possible that a
system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions in our operations or
potential problems with our product and service offerings could result.

Contingency Plans. Part of our Y2K project includes the preparation of
contingency plans. We anticipate completion of our contingency plans by the end
of the third quarter of 1999.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS 

On February 16, 1999, we acquired a next generation web server technology,
called Metaphoria, from Pencom Systems Incorporated, a private company based in
New York, New York ("Pencom"). In exchange for $750,000 of our common stock and
the assumption of certain Pencom obligations, we acquired all of Pencom's right
to our Metaphoria software. Metaphoria can gather information from multiple data
sources simultaneously and present the information through a Web browser as a
single point of access. At the time of the transaction, we issued 81,081
restricted shares of our common stock to Pencom and agreed to register the
shares. At this time we have filed and received comments from the Securities and
Exchange Commission on the Form S-3 registering Pencom's shares. The final
number of shares to be issued to Pencom shall have an aggregate value of
$750,000 based on the "Market Price" of our shares. The "Market Price" means the
arithmetic average of the closing bid prices for our common stock on the NASDAQ
National Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the date of determination.

On March 5, 1999, we acquired the rights to the domain name "ia.com" from
Manuel D. Garcia, an individual. In exchange for 4,315 restricted shares of
common stock and additional compensation, Mr. Garcia assigned all rights in
"ia.com" to us. Based on certain representation made by Mr. Garcia and SEC
documents provided by us, the shares were provided to Mr. Garcia under exemption
from registration pursuant to Regulation D.

Closing Date ", "Preferred Stock", "Preferred Shares", "Articles of Amendment",
"Exchange" and "Exchange Date" shall be deleted.

2. Amendment to Shareholder Approval Provision. Paragraph 4.12 of the Securities
Purchase Agreement is hereby amended so that (i) the words "no later than April
30, 1999" shall be deleted and replaced with "within thirty (30) days of receipt
of a written notice from the Purchaser (a "Shareholder Meeting Notice")
requesting that the Company hold a meeting of its shareholders" and (ii) the
words "June 30, 1999" shall be deleted and replaced with "the sixtieth (60th)

3. Amendment to Conversion Provisions. The Debenture is hereby amended so that
(i) the words "the date that is ninety (90) days following the Tranche A Closing
Date (as defined below)" in paragraph 2(a) shall be deleted and replaced with
"May 10, 1999", (ii) clause (i) of paragraph 2(d) following the words "Fixed

the Common Stock occurring during the period between the Issue Date and the
ninetieth (90th) day following the Issue Date (or , for any conversion occurring

Date and such date) times one hundred and four percent (104%)(subject to
adjustment for the events specified in Section 3 below)" and (iii) the last
sentence of paragraph 2(d) shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
"'Market Conversion Price' shall mean the lower of (i) $3.875 (as adjusted from

Closing Bid Price for the Common Stock during the period of three (3) Trading
Days occurring immediately prior to the Conversion Date (as adjusted from time
to time for the events specified in Section 3 below); it being understood that
in no event shall the Holder (or any person acting at the direction of the
Holder) submit a bid for the Common Stock on any such Trading Day that would
constitute the low Closing Bid Price for the Common Stock on such Trading Day ".

         4. Amendment to Cap Amount. In subparagraph 2(h)(A) of the Debenture,
the words "and all prior exercises of the Warrant" shall be added immediately

<PAGE>   2

new paragraph shall be inserted immediately thereafter as follows: "In no event
shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant in excess of that amount
upon the exercise of which the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to
such exercise, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to all prior Conversions of the Debenture (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) and all prior exercises of this Warrant, would exceed 19.99%
of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Tranche A Closing
Date (subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for the events described
in Section 6 below) (the "Cap Amount"), except that such limitation shall not
apply in the event that (i) the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders
as required by NASD Rule 4460 (or any successor rule or regulation) for

an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such approval
is not required. In the event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of this Warrant, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata
portion of the Cap Amount. In the event that following a sale or transfer of a
portion of this Warrant, the Holder converts all of the remaining amount of this
Warrant into a number of Warrant Shares which, in the aggregate, is less than
the remaining portion of the Cap Amount, then the difference between such
remaining portion of the Holder's Cap Amount and the number of Warrant Shares
actually issued to the Holder shall be allocated to the respective Cap Amounts
of the remaining transferee or transferees."

         5. Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement is
hereby amended so that all references therein to "Tranche B", "Tranche B
Closing", "Tranche B Closing Date", "Preferred Stock", "Preferred Shares" and
"Articles of Amendment" shall be deleted

the respective terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debenture, the
Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

         7. Further Assurances. The parties agree that they will execute such
documents and do such other things as may be required in order to effectuate the
intent of this letter.

         8. Governing Law. This letter shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York (other than the conflict of
laws provisions thereof.
