                    INFODATA SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial  statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required by generally accepted  accounting  principles for complete
financial   statements.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   all  adjustments
(consisting  of normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the year ending  December  31,  1998.  For further  information,  refer to the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1)    REVENUE  RECOGNITION  - The Company  recognizes  revenue  from  software
      licenses upon  delivery of the software  product to the customer or upon
      customer  acceptance,  if a trial  period  exists.  Revenues  from  post
      contract  support,  including  revenue  bundled with the initial license
      fee,  are  recognized  ratably  over the period  that  customer  support
      services  are  provided.  Software  service  revenue  is  recognized  as
      performed if there is no contract in place.

      Revenues  from  consulting  and  professional   services  contracts  are
      recognized  on  the  percentage-of-completion  method  for  fixed  price
      contracts and on the basis of hours  incurred at contract rates for time
      and materials contracts.  Revenues from cost reimbursement contracts are
      recognized as costs are incurred. Any amounts paid by customers prior to
      the actual  performance  of services  are  recorded as deferred  revenue
      until earned,  at which time they are recognized in accordance  with the
      type of contract

      The  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants  has issued
      Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", that
      supersedes SOP 91-1. SOP 97-2 provides  additional guidance with respect
      to multiple elements,  returns, exchanges, and platform transfer rights;
      resellers;  services;  funded  software-development   arrangements;  and
      contract  accounting.  SOP 97-2 was  implemented  during  the  Company's
      quarter ended March 31, 1998.  It did not have a  significant  impact on
      the Company's financial statements.

2)    USE OF ESTIMATES - 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.

3)    EARNINGS  PER SHARE - The Company  implemented  Statement  of  Financial
      Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  128,  "Earnings  Per  Share,"  as of
      December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary and
      fully  diluted  earnings  per share with basic and diluted  earnings per
      share.  The  1997  earnings  per  share  amount  has  been  restated  in
      accordance  with SFAS No.  128.  Earnings  per share have been  computed
      using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

4)    NEW ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting
      Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income"
      and SFAS No.  131,  "Disclosure  about  Segments  of an  Enterprise  and
      Related  Information."  SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise  report
      items of other  comprehensive  income  separately from retained earnings

                                      7

      and additional  paid-in-capital  in the equity section of a statement of
      financial  position.  The Company  adopted  SFAS No. 130 starting in the
      first  quarter  of  1998,  however,  the  Company  did  not  have  other
      comprehensive  income for either the first  quarter of 1998 ended  March
      31, 1998 or the second quarter ended June 30, 1998. The Company does not
      expect  SFAS  No.  130 to have a  significant  impact  on its  financial
      statements.  SFAS No. 131 requires the Company to report  financial  and
      descriptive  information about its reportable  operating  segments.  The
      Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 in its year-end reporting as of December
      31, 1998. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 131
      on its financial statements.

NOTE C - LINE OF CREDIT

The Company  maintains a line of credit with Merrill Lynch Business  Financial
Services,  Inc. for up to $1,000,000 based upon eligible  receivables at a per
annum rate  equal to the sum of 2.9% plus the 30 day  commercial  paper  rate.
Currently,  this per annum rate  approximates  prime.  The facility expires in
March 1999, and management expects that the line will be renewed at that time.
The  Company did not have any  borrowings  under the line of credit as of June
30, 1998.

NOTE D - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid for  interest  expense  was $1,000  and  $5,000 for the  three-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively.  No cash was paid
for income tax in either period.

NOTE E - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In 1997, the Company introduced VFC(R), the virtual file cabinet family of new
proprietary   software   products.   The  Company  has  incurred   significant
development  and marketing  costs related to these  products.  Revenue for VFC
products  commenced  during  July 1997.  There can be no  assurance  as to the
amount of VFC  revenues  in the future.  The  Company  has begun to  implement
certain cost  control  measures  during the second  quarter of 1998 related to
VFC.  The  Company's  operations  are  subject  to  certain  other  risks  and
uncertainties.  This includes the  uncertainty  of future  operating  results,
fluctuations in quarterly results, a change in the mix of products,  a decline
in  INQUIRE/Text  sales,  lengthy  sales  and  implementation   cycles,  rapid
technological  changes and product  obsolescence,  both  technical  hiring and
market competition,  risks associated with sales channels, and a dependence on
government contracts and security clearances.

NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 8, 1998, Richard T. Bueschel,  the Company's Chairman of the Board was
named Acting Chief Executive  Officer (CEO) of the Company  replacing James A.
Ungerleider who resigned.


ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Company provides  electronic  document  management  software,  systems and
solutions to corporate and government workgroups, departments and enterprises.
Prior to 1994,  the  strength of the Company  was in the sales,  support,  and
maintenance of INQUIRE(R)/Text,  one of the most respected full-text retrieval
products used for storing, indexing, retrieving and managing large collections
of documents on IBM and IBM-compatible  mainframes. In 1994, the Company began
to broaden  its focus to provide a wider  range of  document  and  information
management solutions deliverable through client/server,  internet and intranet
technology,  in  addition  to  INQUIRE/Text-based  solutions.  As part of this

                                      8


<PAGE>

effort,  the Company acquired Merex,  Inc., a systems  integrator and software
company  in 1995 and  AMBIA(R)  Corporation  ("AMBIA"),  a  software  products
company in 1997. In addition, the Company made a significant investment in new
software products.  As a result, the Company believes it is well-positioned to
address the  requirements  of the  electronic  document  market.  In 1997, the
Company's  revenue  derived  from  consulting,   client/server  software,  and
internet  and  intranet  technologies  increased  by  $1,242,000  or 18%  from
$6,778,000  in 1996 to  $8,020,000  in 1997.  In the six months ended June 30,
1998, revenue from these sources increased  $2,910,000 or 112% compared to the
first six months of 1997. As a percentage of total revenue, these sources have
increased  from 46% in 1994,  to 71% in 1996, to 75% in 1997 and to 84% during
the first half of 1998.

The Company's  current mix of products  includes VFC, the virtual file cabinet
family of intranet-based  software products that,  together,  enables users to
easily  retrieve,  organize  and share  desktop  files  across  organizations;
Compose(R),  a suite of plug-in tools for Adobe Acrobat Exchange that automate
and streamline a variety of document production tasks;  Re:mark(R),  a plug-in
product for Adobe  Acrobat  software  that enables users to mark up and review
documents  electronically in a workgroup setting;  Aerial(TM),  a plug-in that
enables  Adobe  Acrobat to print any document  that needs to be formatted  for
printing  on multiple  pages which are then pieced  together to form one page,
such as a large spreadsheet or a CAD drawing;  Signet(TM), a security solution
for Web or CD-ROM  publishers who want to permit only authorized users to read
their  documents;  INQUIRE(R)/Text,  a full-text  retrieval  product  used for
storing,  indexing,  retrieving and managing large collections of documents on
IBM and IBM-compatible  mainframes;  and WebINQUIRE(TM),  an extension product
that provides Web browser access to INQUIRE/Text collections. In addition, the
Company offers document  systems  solution  services,  training,  and customer
support for its own products,  and those of other  vendors,  including  Adobe,
Verity,  and  Documentum,  Inc., for each of whom the Company is a value-added
reseller.

Given the mix of products and services that the Company offers and the demands
of the market,  the Company has  concluded  that its best path is to provide a
total  document  solution to our  customers.  Most of these  solutions will be
based  on  corporate  intranets  or the  Web.  As a total  document  solutions
company,  the Company will provide customers with both consulting services and
products  such as VFC,  Compose,  and products from third party  vendors.  The
Company  believes this positioning will enable it to better control the entire
customer relationship and lead to more opportunities.

In December  1997,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with Adobe Systems
Incorporated  to  cross  license  and  co-market  certain   technologies  (the
"Cross-License  Agreement").  Based on the most recent extensions, the Company
expects to receive  approximately  $940,000 in consulting  fees pursuant to an
agreement  ("Consulting  Agreement")  entered  into  in  connection  with  the
Cross-License  Agreement for  modifications  to certain of its technologies so
that it can be incorporated into future Adobe products. Through June 30, 1998,
the Company recognized  approximately  $768,000 of the total expected contract
amount in revenue  under the  Consulting  Agreement.  The  Company  recognizes
revenue  from  these  services  in  both  1997  and  1998 on a  percentage  of
completion basis. The Consulting  Agreement may be terminated by Adobe upon 30
days' written notice and payment of 10% of the next unpaid  installment of the
consulting fee. Upon  acceptance of the  modifications  by Adobe,  the Company
will earn a license fee of  $1,000,000.  Although  the  Company  has  received
approximately  50% of the license fee under the Cross-License  Agreement,  any
license  fees  received  by the  Company  are subject to refund if the Company
fails to deliver an acceptable final product to Adobe. The Company has not and
will not  recognize  any revenue with respect to these  license fees until the
product  has been  accepted  and the fees are no longer  refundable,  which is
expected to occur in the fourth  quarter of 1998 or the first quarter of 1999.
As a result of the  Agreement,  certain  Adobe  products  will  display a "VFC
Button" that will provide a direct link to VFC or to VFC marketing information

                                      9


<PAGE>

if the user does not have VFC. Adobe will receive royalties based on any sales
of VFC  arising  out of this  marketing  arrangement,  and will  also  receive
commissions for any VFC sales that it makes directly.

On July 22,  1997,  the Company  acquired  all of the common stock of AMBIA in
exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock with a fair value of
$7.75 per share,  which was the trading price of the Company's Common Stock on
such date.  As a result of the  acquisition,  outstanding  options to purchase
390,000  shares of AMBIA common stock were  converted  into options to acquire
approximately 35,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price
of $1.69 per share.  The fair value of the  options is recorded as part of the
acquisition  cost. The total  acquisition cost was  approximately  $3,461,000,
including the direct costs of the  acquisition.  Approximately  $3,292,000 was
allocated to goodwill,  $25,000 was allocated to acquired  tangible assets and
$144,000 was allocated to acquired  intangible  assets,  which did not include
AMBIA's  work force.  The Company did not  allocate any amount to AMBIA's work
force  because of the  Company's  belief  that  businesses  located in Silicon
Valley,  such as AMBIA,  experience  high  personnel  turnover.  The  acquired
intangible  assets and goodwill are being  amortized  over two years and seven
years,  respectively.  The acquisition was treated as a purchase. For the year
ended December 31, 1996, AMBIA's revenues were $835,000,  and its net loss was
$676,000. AMBIA is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On February 20, 1998, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of
its common stock.  The gross proceeds of the offering were  $8,000,000,  which
consisted of 1,600,000 shares priced at $5.00 per share. After the expenses of
the offering  including the underwriters'  fees, legal fees,  accounting fees,
blue sky fees,  registration  costs,  printing and engraving  costs, and other
miscellaneous fees, the resultant net proceeds were approximately  $6,600,000.
On April 7, 1998, the underwriters exercised an over-allotment option they had
been granted to the extent of 50,000 shares.  As a result of this transaction,
the Company received an additional $250,000 in gross proceeds. After expenses,
the additional net proceeds were estimated to be $220,000. Thus, the total net
proceeds of the offering were approximately $6,820,000.

At June 30, 1998,  the Company had a net  operating  loss ("NOL")  aggregating
approximately  $9,805,000  available to affect future  taxable  income.  Under
Section  382 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of  1986,  as  amended  ("Code"),
utilization of prior NOLs is limited after an ownership  change, as defined in
Section  382,  to an  amount  equal to the  value  of the  loss  corporation's
outstanding  stock  immediately  before  the  date  of  the  ownership  change
multiplied by the federal long-term tax-exempt rate in effect during the month
that the ownership change occurred. As a result of the AMBIA acquisition,  the
Company is  subject to  limitations  on the use of its NOL as  provided  under
Section 382.  Accordingly,  there can be no assurance the Company will be able
to utilize a significant amount of NOLs.

Any amounts paid by customers prior to the actual  performance of services are
recorded as deferred  revenue until earned,  at which time they are recognized
in accordance with the type of contract.  The margins realized on transactions
involving  deferred  revenue  depend on the type of  service  rendered  by the
Company.   In  general,   most  deferred  revenue  is  generated  by  software
maintenance  contracts  or  software  licenses  that  traditionally  have high
margins.  Most of the Company's  maintenance revenue pertains to INQUIRE/Text.
The Company's costs under maintenance  contracts  associated with this product
are generally low and  consequently,  the gross margin is typically  high. The
balance of deferred revenue  generally relates to consulting  services,  which
carry lower margins than maintenance contracts.

The  components  of the  Company's  cost of revenue  depend on the  product or
service. For consulting, the most significant item is the direct labor cost of
the  consultants.  Other  components  include  any  subcontractor  costs,  any
non-labor direct costs such as travel and any associated indirect costs (e.g.,

                                      10


<PAGE>

office rent,  administration,  etc.)  allocated to the consulting  engagement.
Indirect costs are allocated  based on head count and square footage of office
space.  For third-party  product sales,  the cost of revenue includes the cost
incurred by the Company to acquire the product, shipping and delivery charges,
associated taxes, any customization work done by the Company,  and any special
packaging  costs incurred prior to shipment.  The cost of maintenance  revenue
includes the customer service and software  engineering  personnel  supporting
the product and an allocation of associated indirect costs based on head count
and square  footage of office  space.  For products  that have been  developed
internally, the Company includes shipping,  delivery,  packaging,  production,
the direct  labor of  personnel  involved in  delivering  and  installing  the
product and any associated expenses involved with the installation.

Future operating  results will depend upon many factors,  including the demand
for the Company's  products and services,  the  effectiveness of the Company's
efforts to  integrate  various  products it has  developed  or acquired and to
achieve the desired levels of sales from such product  integration,  the level
of product and price  competition,  the length of the  company's  sales cycle,
seasonality of individual  customer  buying  patterns,  the size and timing of
individual  transactions,  the delay or  deferral of  customer  purchases  and
implementations,  the budget cycles of the Company's customers,  the timing of
new  product  introductions  and product  enhancements  by the Company and its
competitors, the mix of sales by products, services and distribution channels,
acquisitions by competitors,  the ability of the Company to develop and market
new products and control costs,  and general  domestic  economic and political
conditions.

Many  computer  systems in use today were  designed  and  developed  using two
digits,  rather than four, to specify the year. As a result, such systems will
recognize the year 2000 as "00".  This could cause  computer  applications  to
fail or to create  erroneous  results unless  corrective  action is taken. The
Company develops and markets its own software  products and utilizes  software
and  related  computer  technologies  that  are  essential  to its  operations
(including its accounting system).  These systems will be affected by the year
2000  issue.  Programming  changes  have been made to make the  Company's  own
software  compliant  with the year 2000.  The Company has begun to upgrade its
software from vendors and anticipates  that all company  software will be year
2000 compliant well before the year 2000. The Company has been notified by all
of its software  vendors that changes have either been made  already,  or that
changes  will be made  shortly  to ensure  that  their  software  is year 2000
compliant.  The Company  expects that this will cost it no more than  $15,000.
Any failure or delay by the Company or its vendors to make its  software  year
2000 compliant may result in significant  costs associated with resolutions of
such issues.  Although the Company does not anticipate any problems,  the lack
of year 2000 compliance  could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1998  COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997

REVENUES

Total revenue  increased by $1,710,000,  or 87%, from $1,956,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 to  $3,666,000  for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The Company derived  revenues from consulting  services,  sales from the
Company's  VFC  family of  software  products,  sales of  INQUIRE/Text-related
products and maintenance  related thereto,  and sales of third party products.
Revenues  from  consulting  services  and third party  products  increased  by
$1,429,000,  or 109%, from $1,313,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997
to  $2,742,000  for the three months  ended June 30, 1998.  This was due to an
increase in the size and number of  consulting  engagements  and a significant
increase in the number of third party sales.  The VFC family of products which
includes the Company's VFC and AMBIA software  products were introduced during

                                      11


<PAGE>

1997 and produced  $376,000 in revenue  during the second  quarter of 1998. No
comparable sales figures exist for 1997 since the first sale of these products
was not recorded until the third quarter of 1997. Revenue generated  primarily
from  INQUIRE/Text-related  products and maintenance  decreased by $99,000, or
15%,  from  $642,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $543,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998.  Of this  decrease,  $129,000  came from
recurring maintenance revenue. Some of this decrease was offset by an increase
in new INQUIRE/Text sales which actually increased $30,000 during this period.
The  Company  expects  that  INQUIRE/Text-related  revenues  will  continue to
decline over time as customers move applications off mainframes.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit increased by $315,000, or 35%, from $890,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 to  $1,205,000  for the three  months ended June 30, 1998.
The  increase in gross  profit was due  primarily  to  increased  revenue.  In
addition,  the VFC family of products helped the Company's  gross profit,  but
this was generally offset by the decline in INQUIRE/Text-related revenues.

Gross margin as a percent of revenues  decreased by 13% from 46% for the three
months  ended June 30, 1997 to 33% for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998.
The decrease  was due to the  significant  growth in third party sales,  which
have  a  much  smaller  gross  margin  than   consulting,   product  sales  or
maintenance.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenses decreased $60,000, or 10%, from $578,000 for
the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 to $518,000  for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. The principal cause of the decrease was the maturation of VFC's
development.  The Company  expects that  quarterly  research  and  development
expenses  during the  remainder  of 1998 will also be less than  research  and
development expenses for the similar period in 1997.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased $109,000, or 8%, from
$1,295,000  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 to  $1,404,000  for the
three  months  ended June 30,  1998.  The  increase  was due  primarily to the
increase in goodwill  amortization  associated  with the acquisition of AMBIA.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, goodwill amortization  increased $141,000
over the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  The  remainder of selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  decreased over the same period.  Management  expects
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  to  increase  moderately  as
revenues increase.

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Net interest  income  increased  $54,000,  or 540%, from $10,000 for the three
months  ended June 30,  1997 to $64,000  for the three  months  ended June 30,
1998. The increase was due to higher balances of cash, cash  equivalents,  and
short-term  investments  during the three months  ended June 30,  1998.  These
balances increased significantly during the second quarter of 1998 as a result
of the Company's  public  offering.  The Company  invested only in short-term,
highly liquid money market instruments.

NET LOSS

Net loss decreased $320,000, from $973,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 to a net loss of $653,000 for the three  months ended June 30, 1998.  The
decrease was due to the factors  discussed  above.  For the three months ended
June 30, 1997,  the Company's net loss was  $973,000,  or $0.42 per share,  on
both a basic and diluted basis.  For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the
net loss was $653,000, or $0.15 per share, on both a basic and diluted basis.

<PAGE>

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

REVENUES

Total revenue  increased by  $2,579,000,  or 65%, from  $3,997,000 for the six
months  ended June 30, 1997 to  $6,576,000  for the six months  ended June 30,
1998.  Revenues from consulting services and third party products increased by
$2,264,000,  or 87%, from $2,594,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to
$4,858,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This was due to an increase
in the size and number of consulting engagements and a significant increase in
the number of third party sales. The VFC family of products which includes the
Company's  VFC and AMBIA  software  products were  introduced  during 1997 and
produced  $640,000  in  revenue  during  the first two  quarters  of 1998.  No
comparable sales figures exist for 1997 since the first sale of these products
was nor recorded until the third quarter of 1997. Revenue generated  primarily
from  INQUIRE/Text-related  products and maintenance decreased by $331,000, or
24%, from  $1,403,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1,072,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. Of this decrease,  $212,000 was related to
a  decrease  in  recurring  maintenance  revenue.  The  remainder  came from a
decrease in new INQUIRE/Text sales of $119,000 during this period. The Company
expects that INQUIRE/Text-related  revenues will continue to decline over time
as customers move applications off mainframes.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit increased by $761,000, or 48%, from $1,581,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 to $2,342,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The
increase in gross profit was due primarily to increased revenue.  In addition,
the VFC family of products  helped the Company's  gross  profit,  but this was
generally offset by the decline in INQUIRE/Text-related revenues.

Gross  margin as a percent of revenues  decreased  from 40% for the six months
ended  June  30,  1997 to 36% for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998.  The
decrease was due to the significant  growth in third party sales, which have a
much smaller gross margin than consulting, product sales or maintenance.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development  expenses increased  $177,000,  or 10%, from $945,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1,122,000  for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.  The increase was due to the continued  development  of the VFC
family of products during the first quarter of 1998.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased $177,000, or 7%, from
$2,502,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to  $2,679,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.  The increase was due primarily to the increase in
goodwill amortization associated with the acquisition of AMBIA.

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Net  interest  income  increased  $67,000,  or 203%,  from $33,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 to $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
The  increase  was due to  higher  balances  of cash,  cash  equivalents,  and
short-term  investments  during the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998.  These
balances  increased  significantly  during the first two quarters of 1998 as a
result  of the  Company's  public  offering.  The  Company  invested  only  in
short-term, highly liquid money market instruments.

NET LOSS

Net loss decreased $469,000, from $1,828,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 to a net loss of $1,359,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The

                                      13


<PAGE>

decrease was due to the factors discussed above. For the six months ended June
30, 1997, the Company's net loss was $1,828,000, or $0.80 per share, on both a
basic and diluted basis.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the net loss
was $1,359,000, or $0.34 per share, on both a basic and diluted basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30,  1998,  the  Company had cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term
investments of $4,514,000  and a working  capital  surplus of $4,438,000.  The
Company had no borrowings as of June 30, 1998. The Company maintains a line of
credit  with  Merrill  Lynch  Business  Financial  Services,  Inc.  for  up to
$1,000,000  based  upon  eligible  receivables.   Interest  on  this  debt  is
calculated  at a per  annum  rate  equal to the sum of 2.9%  plus  the  30-day
commercial paper rate. Currently,  this per annum rate approximates prime. The
facility  expires in March 1999,  and the Company  expects to renew it at that
time.  The line of credit is  contingent  upon the Company  continuing to meet
certain  general funding  requirements,  including the absence of any material
adverse change in the Company's business or financial condition, the continued
accuracy of the Company's  representations and warranties and the provision of
annual and  quarterly  financial  information.  The  Company is  currently  in
compliance with these funding requirements.  During the first quarter of 1998,
the Company paid off the line of credit in full.

Net cash used in operating  activities  for the six months ended June 30, 1998
of $1,759,000  was due to the Company's net loss for the period of $1,359,000,
a increase in accounts  receivable  of $344,000,  an increase in other current
assets of $151,000, and a decrease in accounts payable of $336,000,  partially
offset  by an  decrease  in other  assets of  $192,000  and  depreciation  and
amortization expense of $406,000.

Net cash used in investing  activities of $3,013,000  for the six months ended
June  30,  1998  was  due  to the  investment  of  $2,986,000  in  short  term
investments.

Net  cash  provided  by  financing  activities  of  $6,012,000  was due to the
proceeds  received from the public  offering of  $6,906,000  and proceeds from
short-term  borrowing  of  $116,000,  offset by  $996,000  used to pay off the
Company's line of credit in full.

Net cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998
were not  sufficient to fund the  operations of the business.  However,  based
upon the  Company's  expectations  of growth in future  revenues from both its
consulting  business  and  its  VFC  family  of  products,  and  based  on the
successful financing completed on February 20, 1998,  management believes that
available  and  projected  resources  will be  sufficient  to meet its working
capital requirements through December 31, 1998 and beyond.

On February 20, 1998, the Company sold 1,600,000  shares of common stock in an
underwritten  public  offering  for a price of $5.00 per share,  or a total of
$8.0 million.  On April 7, 1998,  an  additional  50,000 shares were sold at a
price of  $5.00  per  share  for a total of  $250,000  upon the  underwriters'
exercise  of  their  over-allotment  option.  The  Company  plans  to use  the
approximately  $5.6  million of net  proceeds  from the offering to expand the
Company's sales and marketing  activities,  for research and development,  and
for working capital and general corporate purposes. Approximately $1.0 million
of the proceeds were used to pay off institutional debt.

Since  December  31,  1997,  the Company  has  continued  to incur  losses and
management's  projections  indicate that the Company will continue to generate
operating losses and negative cash flow through the third quarter of 1998. The
Company  expects to operate on a  positive  cash flow basis  beginning  in the
fourth  quarter  of 1998,  as a result  of  increased  revenues  and  improved
consulting margins.

The Company's  actual cash  requirements  may vary  materially  from those now
planned and will depend upon numerous  factors,  including the general  market
acceptance of the Company's new and existing products and services, the growth

                                      14


<PAGE>

of  the  Company's  distribution  channels,  the  technological  advances  and
activities of competitors, and other factors. If the Company is not successful
in its  operations,  the Company's  cash flow will be materially and adversely
affected,  and the Company may need to implement further cost control measures
or obtain additional financing.  There can be no assurance such financing will
be available on reasonable terms or at all. If such financing is not available
the Company will be materially and adversely affected.  Even if such financing
is  available,  it may involve  significant  dilution  to the then  holders of
Common Stock.

                             INFODATA SYSTEMS INC.

                            1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN,

                            AS AMENDED MAY 28, 1998


1.    PURPOSE

      Infodata  Systems  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  by means of this 1995  Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"), desires to afford certain of its directors, officers
and certain  selected  employees,  consultants  and the  officers  and certain
selected  employees of any subsidiary thereof now existing or hereafter formed
or acquired,  an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company,
and thus to create in such  persons  an  increased  interest  in and a greater
concern for the welfare of the  Company  and any  subsidiary.  The Plan is the
successor to the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan and Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan that were approved by the Company's shareholders in 1991 and 1992,
respectively  (the "Prior Plans").  As used in the Plan, the term "subsidiary"
shall mean any entity in which the  Company,  directly or  indirectly,  owns a
controlling interest.

      The stock options  described in Sections 6 and 7 hereof (the "Options"),
and the shares of common stock,  par value $.03 per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock") acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Options are a matter
of separate inducement and are not in lieu of any salary or other compensation
for services.

      The Options  granted  under  Section 6 hereof are  intended to be either
incentive stock options  ("Incentive  Options")  within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),  or options
that do not  meet  the  requirements  for  Incentive  Options  ("Non-Qualified
Options"),  but the Company makes no warranty as to the  qualification  of any
Option as an Incentive Option.

2.    ADMINISTRATION

      The Plan shall be administered  by the  Compensation  Committee,  or any
successor  thereto,  of the Board of Directors of the Company or by such other
committee as determined by the Board (the  "Committee").  The Committee  shall
consist of not less than two members of the Board of Directors of the Company,
each of whom shall qualify as a "disinterested  person" to administer the Plan
within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, as amended,  or other applicable rules under
Section  16(b)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934,  as  amended  (the
"Exchange  Act").  The Committee shall administer the Plan so as to conform at
all times with the  provisions  of Rule 16b-3  promulgated  under the Exchange
Act. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and subject to the


<PAGE>

provisions of Section 5 hereof,  the acts of a majority of the members present
at any meeting at which a quorum is present,  or acts approved  unanimously in
writing by the Committee, shall be the acts of the Committee.

      The Committee  may delegate to one or more of its members,  or to one or
more agents,  such  administrative  duties as it may deem  advisable,  and the
Committee  or any  person to whom it has  delegated  duties as  aforesaid  may
employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility
the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The Committee may employ
attorneys,  consultants,  accountants, or other persons and the Committee, the
Company  and its  officers  and  directors  shall be entitled to rely upon the
advice,  opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all
interpretations  and determinations  made by the Committee in good faith shall
be final and binding upon all persons who have received grants under the Plan,
the  Company  and all  other  interested  persons.  No  member or agent of the
Committee  shall  be  personally  liable  for  any  action,  determination  or
interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan and all members and
agents of the Committee  shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of
any such action, determination or interpretation.

3.    SHARES AVAILABLE

      Subject to the  adjustments  provided  in Section 9 hereof,  the maximum
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased  pursuant to
the  exercise of Options  granted  under the Plan shall not exceed  2,011,000.
Such amount  includes the 777,776 shares  (giving effect to the  one-for-three
reverse split of the Common Stock  effected  April 27, 1994,  the  one-for-six
stock dividend  effected May 17, 1996 and the two-for-one stock split effected
August 26, 1996) previously  authorized for possible  issuance under the Prior
Plans.  If, for any reason,  any shares as to which  Options have been granted
cease to be subject to purchase  thereunder,  including without limitation the
expiration of such Options,  the termination of such Options prior to exercise
or the forfeiture of such Options,  such shares  thereafter shall be available
for grants to such  individual or other  individuals  under the Plan.  Options
granted  under the Plan may be fulfilled in  accordance  with the terms of the
Plan with either  authorized  and  unissued  shares of Common  Stock or issued
shares of such Common  Stock held in the  Company's  treasury or both,  at the
discretion of the Company.

4.    ELIGIBILITY AND BASES OF PARTICIPATION

      Grants under the Plan (i) may be made,  pursuant to Section 6 hereof, to
certain  selected  employees  and officers (but not to any director who is not
also an employee) of the Company or any  subsidiary  thereof who are regularly
employed on a salaried basis and who are so employed on the date of such grant
(the "Officer and Certain Selected Employee Participants");  (ii) may be made,
pursuant  to  Section  6 hereof,  to  directors  of the  Company,  other  than

"Director Participants");  (iii) may be made, pursuant to Section 6 hereof, to
consultants  or  advisors,   provided  that  the  services  rendered  by  such
consultants or advisors  shall not be in connection  with the offer or sale of
securities in a  capital-raising  transaction (the "Consultant  Participants")
(the Officer and Certain Selected Employee Participants, Director Participants
and Consultant  Participants are hereinafter  collectively  referred to as the
"Grant Participants");  and (iv) may be made, pursuant to Section 7 hereof, to
individuals  who serve on the  Committee  or have  been  named to serve on the
Committee in the future (the "Committee Participants").

5.    AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE

      Subject to and not inconsistent with the express  provisions of the Plan
and the  Code,  the  Committee  shall  have  plenary  authority,  in its  sole
discretion, to:

      a.    other than with respect to Committee  Participants,  determine the
            persons  to whom  Options  shall be  granted,  the time  when such
            Options  shall be  granted,  the number of shares of Common  Stock
            underlying  each Option,  the purchase  price or exercise price of
            each Option,  the restrictions to be applicable to Options and the
            other terms and provisions thereof (which need not be identical);

      b.    provide an arrangement through registered  broker-dealers  whereby
            temporary  financing  may be made  available to an optionee by the
            broker-dealer  for the purpose of  assisting  the  optionee in the
            exercise of an Option;

      c.    establish  procedures for an optionee to pay the exercise price of
            an Option in whole or in part by delivering  that number of shares
            of Common Stock owned by such  optionee;  or for the collection of
            any taxes  required by any  government to be withheld or otherwise
            deducted and paid by the Company or any  subsidiary  in respect of
            the issuance or disposition  of Common Stock acquired  pursuant to
            the exercise of an Option granted hereunder,  which procedures may
            include payment in whole or in part through the delivery of shares

                                      3


<PAGE>

            of Common Stock owned by the  optionee  valued on the basis of the
            Fair  Market  Value (as  defined in Section 11 hereof) on the date
            preceding such exercise;

      d.    prescribe,   amend,  modify  and  rescind  rules  and  regulations
            relating to the Plan;

      e.    make all  determinations  specified in or permitted by the Plan or
            deemed  necessary or desirable for its  administration  or for the
            conduct of the Committee's business; and

      f.    establish  any   procedures   determined  to  be   appropriate  in
            discharging its responsibilities under the Plan.

6.    STOCK OPTIONS FOR GRANT PARTICIPANTS

      The Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to grant
Incentive  Options or  Non-Qualified  Options or both  Incentive  Options  and
Non-Qualified  Options to Grant Participants (any such Options are hereinafter
collectively  referred  to as the  "Participant  Options")  during  the period
beginning  on the  date on which  the Plan is  approved  by the  holders  of a
majority of the  Company's  outstanding  shares of Common Stock and  Preferred
Stock,  voting  as a class  (the  "Effective  Date")  and  ending on the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date (the  "Termination  Date").  Notwithstanding
anything  contained herein to the contrary,  Incentive  Options may be granted
only to Officer and Certain Selected Employee Participants.  As a condition to
the  granting of any  Option,  the  Committee  shall  require  that the person
receiving  such Option  agree not to sell or  otherwise  dispose of any Common
Stock  acquired  pursuant to such Option for a period of six months  following
the  date of the  grant  of such  Option.  The  terms  and  conditions  of the
Participant  Options shall be determined  from time to time by the  Committee;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the Participant Options granted under the Plan shall
be subject to the following:

      a.    EXERCISE PRICE.  The exercise price for each share of Common Stock
            purchasable  under any Participant  Option granted hereunder shall
            be such  amount  as the  Committee,  in its best  judgment,  shall
            determine  to be not less than 100% of the Fair  Market  Value (as
            defined  in  Section  11  hereof)   per  share  on  the  date  the
            Participant Option is granted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case
            of an Incentive  Option  granted to a person who, at the time such
            Incentive  Option is granted,  owns shares of capital stock of the
            Company, or of any subsidiary of the Company, having more than 10%
            of the total  combined  voting  power of all  classes of shares of
            capital stock of the Company or of such  subsidiary,  the exercise
            price  for each  share  shall be not  less  than  110% of the Fair

                                      4


<PAGE>

            Market  Value (as  defined in Section 11 hereof)  per share on the
            date the Incentive  Option is granted.  In  determining  the stock
            ownership of a person for purposes of this Section 6, the rules of
            Section  424(d) of the Code shall be applied and the Committee may
            rely on  representations  of fact  made to it by such  person  and
            believed by it to be true. The exercise  price of the  Participant
            Options  will be  subject to  adjustment  in  accordance  with the
            provisions of Section 9 hereof.

      b.    PAYMENT. The exercise price per share of Common Stock with respect
            to each  Participant  Option  shall  be  payable  at the  time the
            Participant  Option is  exercised.  Such price shall be payable in
            cash, which may be paid by wire transfer in immediately  available
            funds, by check, by a commitment by a broker-dealer  to pay to the
            Company  that  portion  of any  sale  proceeds  receivable  by the
            optionee  upon  exercise of a  Participant  Option or by any other
            instrument  acceptable to the Company or, in the discretion of the
            Committee,  by delivery to the Company of shares of Common  Stock.
            Shares  delivered to the Company in payment of the exercise  price
            shall be valued at the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 11
            hereof)  of the  Common  Stock  on the  business  day  immediately
            preceding the date of the exercise of the Participant Option.

      c.    EXERCISABILITY OF PARTICIPANT  OPTIONS.  Subject to this Section 6
            and  Section 8 hereof,  each  Participant  Option  shall  vest and
            become  exercisable  on the dates and in the  amounts set forth in
            the particular stock option agreement  between the Company and the
            optionee;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that a  Participant  Option  shall
            expire  not  later  than ten years  from the date  such  Option is
            granted.  The right to purchase shares shall be cumulative so that
            when the right to purchase any shares has accrued,  such shares or
            any part thereof may be purchased at any time thereafter until the
            expiration or termination of the Participant Option.

      d.    DEATH.  In the event of the death of an optionee,  all Participant
            Options held by such optionee on the date of such death shall vest
            in full and become immediately  exercisable.  Upon such death, the
            legal representative of such optionee, or such person who acquired
            such Participant Options by bequest or inheritance or by reason of
            the death of the optionee, shall have the right for one year after
            the date of death (but not after the  expiration or termination of
            the Participant Options), to exercise such optionee's  Participant

                                      5


<PAGE>

            Options  with  respect  to all or any part of the shares of Common
            Stock subject thereto.

      e.    DISABILITY. If the employment of an optionee is terminated because
            of Disability (as defined in Section 11 hereof),  all  Participant
            Options  held by such  optionee  on the  date of such  termination
            shall  vest in  full  and  become  immediately  exercisable.  Such
            optionee  shall have the right for one year after the date of such
            termination  (but not after the  expiration or  termination of the
            Participant  Options),  to exercise  such  optionee's  Participant
            Options  with  respect  to all or any part of the shares of Common
            Stock subject thereto.

      f.    RETIREMENT.  In the event the employment of an Officer and Certain
            Selected  Employee  Participant  is  terminated  by  reason of the
            Retirement (as defined in Section 11 hereof) of the optionee,  all
            Participant  Options  held by such  optionee  on the  date of such
            termination shall vest in full and become immediately exercisable.
            Such optionee shall have the right for three months after the date
            of such  termination  (but not after the expiration or termination
            of  the   Participant   Options),   to  exercise  such  optionee's
            Participant  Options with respect to all or any part of the shares
            of Common Stock subject thereto. The Committee, in its discretion,
            shall determine whether an optionee's employment was terminated by
            reason of Retirement  and whether such optionee is entitled to the
            treatment afforded by this subsection f.

      g.    OTHER  TERMINATION.  If the  employment  of an Officer and Certain
            Selected  Employee  Participant is terminated for any reason other
            than those specified in subsections d, e, and f of this Section 6,
            such  optionee  shall have the right for 30 days after the date of
            such  termination  (but not after the expiration or termination of
            the Participant Options), to exercise such optionee's  Participant
            Options  with  respect  to all or any part of the shares of Common
            Stock which such  optionee  was  entitled to purchase  immediately
            prior to the time of such termination.

      h.    CESSATION  OF  DIRECTORSHIP.  In the event a Director  Participant
            shall cease to be a director of the Company,  such optionee  shall
            have the right for 90 days after the date of such  cessation  (but
            not  after  the  expiration  or  termination  of  the  Participant
            Options),  to exercise such  optionee's  Participant  Options with
            respect to all or any part of the shares of Common  Stock  subject
            thereto.

                                      6

      i.    MAXIMUM  EXERCISE.  To the extent the aggregate  Fair Market Value
            (as defined in Section 11 hereof) of Common Stock  (determined  at
            the time of the grant) with respect to which Incentive Options are
            exercisable  for the first time by an optionee during any calendar
            year  under all plans of the  Company or any  subsidiary,  exceeds
            $100,000,  or such other amount as may be prescribed under Section
            422 of the Code or applicable  regulations or rulings from time to
            time, the excess thereof shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options
            and not as Incentive Options.

7.    STOCK OPTION GRANTS TO COMMITTEE PARTICIPANTS

      During the term of the Plan,  on the date that a director of the Company
commences  service on the Committee  (which in the case of the initial members
of the Committee shall be deemed to be the Effective Date), and on the date of
any  subsequent  annual  meeting of the holders of the Common Stock at which a
director is elected and appointed or  reappointed  to serve on the  Committee,
such  Committee  Participant  automatically  shall be granted a  Non-Qualified
Option  to  purchase  4,666  shares  of  Common  Stock  (giving  effect to the
one-for-six  stock dividend  effected May 17, 1996 and the  two-for-one  stock
split  effected  August  26,  1996),  which  Non-Qualified  Option,  except as
otherwise  provided in this Section 7 or Section 8 hereof,  shall become fully
exercisable immediately upon grant as to all of the shares covered thereby. (A
Non-Qualified  Option  granted to a  Committee  Participant  pursuant  to this
Section 7 is  referred to as a  "Committee  Option".)  As a  condition  to the
granting of any Committee  Option,  the person receiving such Committee Option
shall  agree not to sell or  otherwise  dispose of any Common  Stock  acquired
pursuant to such Option for a period of six months  following  the date of the
grant of such Option.  The terms and conditions of the Committee Options shall
be as follows:

      a.    OPTION  PRICE.  The  exercise  price of each share of Common Stock
            purchasable  under any  Committee  Options shall be such amount as
            the Committee, in its best judgment, shall determine to be 100% of
            the Fair Market  Value (as defined in Section 11 hereof) per share
            at the date the Committee Option is granted.

      b.    PAYMENT. The exercise price per share of Common Stock with respect
            to each Committee Option and any withholding tax due in connection
            with such  exercise  may be paid by any of the  methods  described
            under Section 6b hereof.

      c.    EXERCISABILITY. Except as provided in subsection d of this Section
            7, no Committee  Option shall be exercisable  after the earlier of

                                      7


<PAGE>

            (i) the  expiration  of five  years  from the date such  Committee
            Option  is  granted   and  (ii)  90  days  after  such   Committee
            Participant ceases for any reason to be a director of the Company.

      d.    DEATH. In the event of the death of any Committee Participant, the
            estate of the Committee  Participant  shall have the right for one
            year  after the date of death  (but not after  the  expiration  or
            termination of such Committee Options), to exercise such Committee
            Participant's Committee Options with respect to all or any part of
            the shares of Common Stock subject thereto.

      e.    AMENDMENT.  The  provisions of this Section 7 shall not be amended
            more than one time in any six-month period,  other than to comport
            with any  amendments to the Code, the Employee  Retirement  Income
            Security  Act of 1974,  as amended,  or the rules and  regulations
            thereunder.

8.    CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Notwithstanding   any  provision  herein  to  the  contrary,   upon  the
occurrence of an event constituting a Change of Control (as defined in Section
11 hereof),  all Options granted under the Plan immediately shall become fully
exercisable.

9.    ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES

      In the event the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock shall be increased
or decreased or changed  into or exchanged  for a different  number of kind of
shares of stock or other  securities of the Company or another  corporation by
reason of any consolidation, merger, combination, liquidation, reorganization,
recapitalization,  stock dividend, stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off,
combination  of shares,  exchange  of shares or other  like  change in capital
structure of the Company, the number or kind of shares or interests subject to
an Option  and the per share  price or value  thereof  shall be  appropriately
adjusted by the Committee at the time of such event. Any fractional  shares or
interests resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  (i) each such adjustment  with respect to an Incentive  Option
shall comply with the rules of Section 424(a) of the Code and (ii) in no event
shall any adjustment be made that would result in an Incentive  Option failing
to be treated as an  "incentive  stock  option" for purposes of Section 422 of
the Code.  In  addition,  in such event the Board of  Directors of the Company
shall  appropriately  adjust  the  number of shares of Common  Stock for which
Options may be granted under the Plan.

                                      8

10.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      a.    ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER.  No grant of any "derivative security" (as
            defined by Rule  16a-1(c)  under the Exchange  Act) made under the
            Plan or any rights or interests  therein  shall be  assignable  or
            transferable  by an optionee except by will or the laws of descent
            and distribution or, except as to Incentive Options, pursuant to a
            qualified  domestic relations order as defined in the Code. During
            the lifetime of an optionee,  Options  granted  hereunder shall be
            exercisable  only by the  optionee or the  optionee's  guardian or
            legal representative.

      b.    INVESTMENT  REPRESENTATION.  If a registration statement under the
            Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  with
            respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Option is
            not in effect at the time such  Option is  exercised,  the Company
            may require, for the sole purpose of complying with the Securities
            Act, that prior to delivering  such Common Stock to the exercising
            optionee  such  optionee  must  deliver  to the  Secretary  of the
            Company a written  statement  (i)  representing  that such  Common
            Stock is being acquired for investment only and not with a view to
            the resale or distribution  thereof,  (ii) acknowledging that such
            Common Stock may not be sold unless  registered for sale under the
            Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such  registration
            and (iii) agreeing that the  certificates  evidencing  such Common
            Stock shall bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

      c.    COSTS AND EXPENSES.  The costs and expenses of  administering  the
            Plan  shall be borne  by the  Company  and  shall  not be  charged
            against any Option nor to any person receiving an Option.

      d.    FUNDING OF PLAN. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not
            be  required  to make any  segregation  of assets  to  assure  the
            satisfaction of any Option under the Plan.

      e.    OTHER INCENTIVE  PLANS. The adoption of the Plan does not preclude
            the adoption by appropriate  means of any other incentive plan for
            officers, directors or employees.

      f.    EFFECT  ON  EMPLOYMENT.  Nothing  contained  in  the  Plan  or any
            agreement related hereto or referred to herein shall affect, or be
            construed  as  affecting,  the  terms of  employment  of any Grant
            Participants except to the extent specifically  provided herein or
            therein.  Nothing  contained in the Plan or any agreement  related

                                      9


<PAGE>

            hereto or referred to herein  shall  impose,  or be  construed  as
            imposing,  an obligation  on (i) the Company or any  subsidiary to
            continue the employment of any Grant Participant or (ii) any Grant
            Participant  to  remain  in  the  employ  of  the  Company  or any
            subsidiary.

      g.    TERMINATION  OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. The Board of Directors may
            at any time suspend or terminate the Plan. The Plan, unless sooner
            terminated  under Section 12 of the Plan or by action of the Board
            of  Directors,  shall  terminate  at the close of  business on the
            Termination  Date.  Options  may not be granted  while the Plan is
            suspended or after it is terminated.  Rights and obligations under
            any  Option  granted  while  the Plan is in  effect  shall  not be
            altered or  impaired by  suspension  or  termination  of the Plan,
            except  with the  consent  of the  person to whom the  Option  was
            granted. The power of the Committee to construe and administer any
            Option granted prior to the  termination or suspension of the Plan
            nevertheless  shall continue after such termination or during such
            suspension.

      h.    SAVINGS  PROVISION.  With respect to persons subject to Section 16
            of the Exchange Act, the transactions  under the Plan are intended
            to comply  with all  applicable  conditions  of Rule  16b-3 or its
            successors  under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of
            the Plan or action by the Committee  fails so to comply,  it shall
            be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law.

      i.    PARTIAL INVALIDITY.  The invalidity or illegality of any provision
            herein  shall not be deemed to affect  the  validity  of any other
            provision.

11.   DEFINITIONS

      a.    "Fair Market Value", as it relates to the Common Stock, shall mean
            the average of the high and low sale  prices of such Common  Stock
            on the date such  determination  is required  herein,  or if there
            were no sales on such  date,  the  average  closing  bid and asked
            prices, as reported on the national  securities  exchange on which
            the  Company's  Common  Stock is listed or, in the absence of such
            listing,  on the Nasdaq National Market or Small Cap Market or, if
            such  Common  Stock  is not  at  the  time  listed  on a  national
            securities  exchange  or traded on the Nasdaq  National  Market or
            Small Cap Market,  the value of such Common  Stock on such date as
            determined in good faith by the Committee.

      b.    "Disability"  shall have the meaning set forth in Section 22(e)(3)
            of the Code.

                                      10


<PAGE>

      c.    "Change  of  Control"   shall  be  deemed  to  have  occurred  if,
            subsequent  to the Effective  Date of this Plan,  any "person" (as
            such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes
            the  beneficial  owner,  directly or  indirectly,  of either (x) a
            majority  of the Common  Stock or (y)  securities  of the  Company
            representing  a  majority  of the  combined  voting  power  of the
            Company's then outstanding voting securities.

      d.    "Retirement"  shall mean the date upon which a Grant  Participant,
            having  attained an age as may be  determined  by the Committee in
            its sole discretion, terminates his employment with the Company or
            any  subsidiary,  provided  that such Grant  Participant  has been
            employed by the Company or any subsidiary.

12.   AMENDMENT OF PLAN

      The Board of  Directors  of the  Company  shall have the right to amend,
modify,  suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that no amendment
shall be made without shareholder  approval which shall (i) increase the total
number of shares of the Common  Stock of the  Company  which may be issued and
sold  pursuant to Options  granted under the Plan (except for increases due to
adjustments in accordance with Section 9 hereof), (ii) materially increase the
benefits  accruing to participants  under the Plan, (iii) decrease the minimum
exercise price in the case of an Incentive  Option or (iv)  materially  modify
the provisions of the Plan relating to eligibility with respect to Options. In
no event may the Plan be amended in any way that  would  retroactively  impair
the  Committee's  discretion.  The Board of Directors  shall be  authorized to
amend the Plan and the Options granted  thereunder (A) to qualify such Options
as "incentive  stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or
(B) to comply with Rule 16b-3 (or any successor  rule) under the Exchange Act.
No amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan, without the
consent of the holder  thereof,  shall  adversely  alter or impair any Options
previously granted under the Plan.

13.   EFFECTIVE DATE

      The Plan shall become  effective on the Effective  Date.  Subject to the
right of the Board of Directors to terminate  the Plan at any time pursuant to
Section 12 hereof,  the Plan shall  remain in effect  until the earlier of (i)
the date that Options  covering all shares of Common Stock  issuable under the
Plan have been granted or (ii) the Termination Date.
