    independent affiliates,  form  a worldwide  network dedicated  to  providing
    specialized language services for businesses engaged in international trade.
    The Company  has combined computer translation  technology with  experienced
    human translators  in its worldwide  network to  provide a full spectrum  of
    services  to  fulfill  the  language  needs  of  customers  in international
    business.

    The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have been
    prepared in accordance with the  rules and regulations of the Securities and
    Exchange  Commission.    Accordingly,  they  do  not  include  all  of   the
    information  and   footnote  disclosures  required   by  generally  accepted
    accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion  of
    management,   all   adjustments  (consisting   only   of   normal  recurring
    adjustments)  considered  necessary   for  a  fair  presentation  have  been
    included.  Operating  results for the periods presented are  not necessarily
    indicative of the results that may be  expected for the respective  complete
    years.    For  further  information,  refer to  the  Consolidated  Financial
    Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
    10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

    Certain  amounts for the three-month  period ended March  31, 1994 have been
    reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.


2.  INCOME TAXES

    The  Company files  a  consolidated  U.S. Federal  income tax  return  which
    includes all domestic operations.   Tax returns for  states within the  U.S.
    and for foreign  subsidiaries are filed in accordance with  applicable laws.
    Fluctuations in the amount  of income taxes arise primarily from the varying
    combinations of  income and  losses  of the  Company's subsidiaries  in  the
    various domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions, including the utilization in
    various  degrees  of  net  operating  loss carryforwards  in  many  of these
    jurisdictions.





3.  ACQUISITION GUARANTEE

    In 1988, the  Company acquired  its German subsidiary  for a  combination of
    cash  and shares of the  Company's Common Stock.   The acquisition agreement
    required the Company  to give additional consideration  if the value  of the
    shares of Common Stock did not reach an agreed-upon level within a specified
    period following  the acquisition, and remain at that level until the former
    owner  was able  to sell  the shares  of the Company's  Common Stock  for an
    amount equal to the purchase price stipulated in the acquisition  agreement.
    As a result of this requirement, the Company issued additional shares to the
    former owner in 1990.

    In 1993,  the Company and  the former owner entered into  an agreement which
    amended  the  original  acquisition agreement.    This agreement  waives the
    requirement to pay any additional consideration  if the value of  all shares
    of Common Stock  previously issued reached the stipulated purchase  price on
    or  before September  30,  1994  (which date  was subsequently  extended  to
    September  30, 1996).   If the stock value  does not reach  such amount, the
    Company is required to  pay interest on the stock value deficiency beginning
    on  September  30,  1996.    Alternatively, the  Company  could  settle such
    deficiency by  making additional payments (in  cash or stock)  to the former
    owner.

    As  a result  of this  waiver agreement,  the  Company recorded  a guarantee
    liability in the consolidated balance sheets for the stock value  deficiency
    calculated based  on the trading  value per  share of  the Company's  Common
    Stock as  compared to the  guaranteed value at  the balance sheet  dates.  A
    decrease  in  shareholders'  equity  has  also been  recorded  for  the same
    amounts.

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

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The  Company  serves  its  customers  from  27  offices in  10  countries.   The
operations  of  the   Company  are   predominantly  located  outside   the  U.S.
Accordingly, the Company is subject to  the effects of foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations among U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling,
German marks and other European and  Asian currencies.  For all of the Company's
foreign  subsidiaries, the  functional currency  has been  determined to  be the
local currency.   Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated  at period-
end  exchange rates,  and operating  statement items  are translated  at average
exchange rates prevailing  during the period.  The resultant  cumulative foreign
currency adjustments to  the assets and liabilities  are recorded as  a separate
component of shareholders'  equity.  The foreign currency equity  adjustment for
the  three months  ended March  31,  1995 was  positive  $550,000 compared  to a
positive adjustment of $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  As of
March  31,  1995,  the cumulative  net  effect  to the  Company  of  the  equity
adjustment from movements in foreign currency exchange rates  was a reduction of
$1.1  million in shareholders' equity.   A significant portion of the cumulative
foreign  currency  adjustment  relates  to  changes in  the  recorded  amount of
goodwill.  

Because  most of the Company's operations  are located outside the  U.S. and its
foreign operations' financial results must be translated into U.S. dollars,  the
Company's  actual  and reported  financial results  and financial  condition are
susceptible to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  Furthermore, since
the  Company  has  relatively  few  long-term  monetary  assets and  liabilities
denominated  in currencies  other than  the U.S.  dollar, it  does not  have any
ongoing hedging programs in place to manage currency risk.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  following paragraphs  discuss results  of operations  for the  three months
ended  March 31, 1995  as compared with the  three months ended  March 31, 1994,
including  the  significant effects  of  fluctuating  foreign  currency exchange
rates. 

The Company recorded net income  of $14,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 compared to a net loss of $476,000 for the first three months in  1994.  If
foreign currency  exchange rates for 1995 had remained unchanged  from 1994, the
Company  would have  recorded a  net loss  of $4,000  instead  of net  income of
$14,000.  Therefore currency  exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material
affect on 1995 results.

Sales of  services were $5.9 million  for the three months ended  March 31, 1995
compared  to $4.3 million for the three  months ended March 31,  1994.  The $1.6
million increase  in reported sales for  1995 consisted of  an increase in sales
volume of $1.2 million and an increase of $400,000 due to currency exchange rate
fluctuations.   The  increases in  sales volume  are  the  result of  a  general
increase in  demand for the  Company's services  in all of  its primary markets,
especially  in the U.S., the U.K. and in Germany.  Demand was especially weak in
the U.S. and  in Germany in 1994  and sales for 1995  are more representative of
historical sales  levels in  these locations than  were the  1994 sales results.
Management also believes  that international trade agreements such as  the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and  the General Agreement on  Tariffs and
Trade (GATT)  have had  a positive  effect on  demand for  the language services
provided  by the  Company.   Also having  a positive  effect is  an increasingly
global marketplace where  more and more businesses are entering  foreign markets
and becoming involved in worldwide trade. 

The Company competes on the basis of quality, service and geographical proximity
to clients and  potential clients, and has opened  several new offices in recent
years, including one new office in  1995, in order to increase its  market share
in  what management  believes has  been and  will continue  to  be an  expanding
industry.  Intense price  competition which the Company  encountered in 1994 has
persisted  into 1995 and continues  to severely restrict  the prices the Company
can charge in the marketplace.  

The following  table shows  a comparison  of sales of  services in  each of  the
Company's significant geographic areas for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1994, along with the  effect of foreign currency  exchange rate fluctuations
on  the sales  between periods.   Intercompany  sales are  normally billed  on a
profit-sharing basis.  All intercompany sales are eliminated in determining  the
totals.

</TABLE>

As shown  in the above table, all major geographical  regions reported increased
sales in 1995 over 1994.  In the U.S., sales can fluctuate widely from period to
period due  to industry conditions  which are often less  predictable and stable
than those  found in  the Company's  foreign markets.   Such  conditions are the
result of the inexperience of many U.S.  companies in international business and
clients which  may be  unsophisticated in the  nuances of  marketing to  foreign
countries and the  importance of related language issues.  These  factors, along
with  the  unpredictable  timing  and the  nonrecurring  nature  of  most  large
translation projects for U.S. companies, contribute to a deficiency of "core" or
repeat business  and also have a  tendency to depress  the profitability of work
performed by  the Company  for U.S.  clients.  These conditions  had a  dramatic
affect  in 1994 and while  1995 sales were also affected, the  impact was not as
pronounced.  It is difficult to estimate  how much effect such factors will have
on future operations.

Canada's  reported sales  for  1995  were the  same  as for  1994;  however, the
increase  would have been 4% if currency exchange rates in 1995 had remained the
same as in 1994.   The increase in sales in  Canada was due in part to increased
international trading as  well as ongoing marketing  and sales efforts, and  has
occurred despite a continuing difficult economic situation in Canada.

The  U.K.  and  Germany contributed  over  85% of  the  European  region's total
reported sales for both 1995 and 1994 with increases of 20% for the U.K. and 81%
for Germany in 1995 over  1994 levels.  While the bulk of this growth represents
actual volume increases, a  significant portion is also due to currency exchange
rate  fluctuations.   This is  also true  for the  overall increase  in reported
European sales of 43% in 1995 over 1994.

The increase in sales in Germany from 1994 to 1995 was primarily attributable to
an  improvement in the German economy  and an unusually steep  decline in orders
from large customers  in early 1994 which  did not recur in  1995.  The positive
results in  the U.K. were  due to several factors, including  enhanced sales and
marketing efforts, increased core business and more  large project work, all  of
which was helped  by an improved economic situation.   The Company expects sales
to  continue to expand in Europe as  the investments made in  new offices and in
human  and equipment  resources in  the past  three  years combine  with growing
demand  for  language  services  and  a  generally  positive  economic  outlook.
Nevertheless, the Company's business can be impacted dramatically by changes  in
the strength of  the economies of the countries in  which it has a  presence and
results of operations are highly dependent on general economic trends.

In Asia,  1995 sales increased 41%  over 1994 levels as  Hong Kong and Singapore
increased sales by a combined total of  26%.  In addition, the Company's  Korean
office, which was opened in July 1994, contributed to the improved sales results
in  1995.   While some  of the  increase  in reported  Asian sales  in  1995 was
attributable  to currency exchange rate fluctuations, most of the change was due
to actual volume  increases.  Management expects  the increased demand for Asian
language services  to continue,  as many Asian countries  are experiencing  very
high  economic  growth  rates  and  the  interest  in  Asia  from  the  business
communities in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere is accelerating rapidly.  

Cost  of services  sold as  a  percentage of  sales  of services  has fluctuated
primarily as  a result  of competition  in the marketplace, and  the volume  and
nature of direct  production costs of large projects in each  period.  Also, the
company  is continuing  its programs  to reduce  direct and  indirect production
costs.

Due to increased  competition in early 1994,  especially with regard to pricing,
the Company's gross  margins deteriorated significantly.  While the  Company has
largely been  able to  contain the  growth in  cost of  services sold to  levels
consistent with growth in the  volume of work produced and at rates at  or below
inflationary  increases, prices charged  to clients, especially in  the U.S. and
Europe, have  been limited  by competitive  price pressures  which have in  turn
severely compressed margins.   Management expects pressures on gross  margins to
continue  in 1995, but  does not  expect pricing  pressures to  intensify beyond
current levels.  The Company  does not expect to  be able to return  to pre-1994
pricing  levels  in the  foreseeable  future and  is continuing  its  efforts to
contain costs to offset the effects of these pricing pressures.

Total operating  expenses, including  cost of services sold,  increased by  $1.1
million in 1995 from  1994.  This increase resulted from  a $700,000 increase in
actual  expenses and  an  increase of  $400,000 due  to  currency exchange  rate
fluctuations.    The  increases  in actual  expenses  for  both  years  resulted
primarily from the increased volume of work produced.  The increase in corporate
selling, general and  administrative expenses from 1994 to 1995  is attributable
to increased marketing and  sales expenses and,  to a lesser extent,  additional
overhead costs for existing and new offices.

Interest  expense decreased approximately  $25,000 in 1995 compared  to 1994 and
resulted primarily from the capital restructuring completed in early 1994  which
eliminated  approximately $1.8  million of  long-term debt  to affiliates.   The
interest  expense decrease  was  offset  in part  by increased  borrowing  costs
related to bank lines of credit used to fund working capital needs.  For further
information  on  the  1994  capital  restructuring,  refer  to  Note  3  of  the
Consolidated  Financial Statements  included in  the Company's Annual  Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Fluctuations in the amount of goodwill amortization resulted solely from foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations from period to period. 

The U.S.  parent company  and each  of its  subsidiaries are  separate legal and
taxable  entities  subject  to  the domestic  or  foreign  taxes  pertaining  to
operations in their respective jurisdictions.  For tax purposes, the U.S. parent
company and most of its subsidiaries have unused net operating losses from prior
years  which  can be  utilized  to reduce  future years   taxable income  of the
respective entities.  The availability of these net operating losses is governed
by applicable  domestic and  foreign tax  rules and  regulations, some  of which
limit the utilization of such losses due  to minimum tax requirements and  other
provisions.  

Income  tax  expense  as  presented  in the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements
represents the combined income tax expense and income tax credits of each of the
entities of  the Company.   Fluctuations  in the amount of  income taxes  result
primarily from the  varying combinations of income  and losses of  the Company's
subsidiaries  in the various  domestic and foreign tax  jurisdictions, including
the  utilization in various degrees  of net operating loss carryforwards in many
of these jurisdictions.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

In  1995,  the  Company  had  a  net  positive  cash  flow  from  operations  of
approximately $280,000  compared with  a negative cash flow  from operations  in
1994  of  $134,000.   In  1995,  as  in  prior  years,  the  Company's investing
activities consisted  primarily of  the acquisition  of equipment (approximately
$84,000)  needed  to  maintain  or  upgrade  production  capability.   Financing
activities for  both 1995 and 1994 included fluctuations in the amounts utilized
under bank lines of credit to finance the Company's working capital needs. 
 
At March  31, 1995, the Company's  cash and cash  equivalents were approximately
$427,000, representing  an increase  of approximately $83,000 during  1995.   At
March 31, 1995, the  Company had working capital of approximately $1.3  million,
which compares  favorably to  working capital of approximately  $1.2 million  at
December 31, 1994. 

The  Company's primary  working capital  requirements relate  to the  funding of
accounts receivable.   The Company funds its working capital needs  with various
bank lines of  credit extended by banks in Canada,  the U.K., Germany and Spain.
Most of the lines of credit are secured by accounts  receivable and other assets
of the respective  subsidiaries.  As of  March 31, 1995, the Company  has unused
amounts  under these  lines of credit  of approximately  $600,000.   The Company
believes the  available amounts  under these lines of  credit are  sufficient to
fund the Company's operations at current levels as well as enable the Company to
grow  at a  modest  level without  seeking  significant new  sources  of working
capital.  Most of the Company's credit facilities are subject to annual renewals
and the Company  expects them to be  renewed on substantially the  same terms as
those which currently  exist.  Some of the banks, which have loaned funds to the
Company's  subsidiaries under  the credit  facilities  noted above,  have placed
certain  limits on  the flow  of cash  outside the  respective countries.   Such
limitations have not  been an undue burden  to the Company in the past,  nor are
they expected to be unduly burdensome in the foreseeable future. 

The Company has  no present  significant commitments  for capital  expenditures,
which  generally  consist almost  entirely  of computer  equipment  and  related
peripheral  hardware and software.   Such equipment purchases  in future periods
are not  expected  to vary  materially  from  the general  levels  of  equipment
purchases experienced  in recent  periods.  However, the  Company does  plan  to
acquire and place additional  translation services  workstations in its  offices
worldwide  in connection with future  orders from customers, as  such orders are
received.  The Company expects  to finance a certain portion of future equipment
costs through bank and/or leasing sources.  

While there are no material current commitments, the Company may open additional
offices  in  strategic  locations  worldwide, as  customer  demands dictate  and
opportunities arise.   For example, in  March 1995, the  Company opened  a sales
office in  the City of London  in order to  boost sales to  companies located in
this  important international  financial district.   The  costs of  opening this
office were  not significant and the  costs of  any additional  offices are  not
expected to require a substantial amount of cash. 

Primarily  as a result  of positive foreign currency  adjustments, the Company's
total shareholders' equity has  increased from $7.2 million at December 31, 1994
to $7.5 million at March 31,  1995.  The Company believes it has the ability  to
issue additional  equity securities  if necessary, but does  not currently  have
plans to do so.  In past years, the Company has relied  on major shareholders of
the  Company to fund  certain obligations,  but the Company does  not anticipate
using this source of capital in the foreseeable future. 

Current working capital,  anticipated cash flows and available lines  of credit,
together with  management s  expectations of  increased revenues  and  plans  to
control expenses, will,  in management's opinion, be adequate to  meet financial
obligations during 1995.  It is more difficult to assess cash flows  beyond 1995
and  the ability  of  the Company  to  meet its  commitments  without additional
sources of capital is directly  related to the Company's  operations providing a
positive cash  flow.  Should the  Company's operations fail  to provide adequate
funds to enable it to meet its future financial  obligations, management has the
option, because  of the  Company's  organizational structure,  to cut  costs  by
selectively  eliminating operations which  are not  contributing to  the Company
financially.  

Inflation  has  not  been  a  significant factor  in  the  Company s operations.
Competition, however, has been and is expected to remain a major factor.  To the
extent permitted by competition and general economic and market conditions,  the
Company will pass on  increased costs from inflation and operations to customers
by increasing prices.

Due to prior years'  operating losses, the Company and many of  its subsidiaries
have net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable  income
in the  various countries  in which  the Company  operates.   As  a result,  the
Company  historically  has not  had  significant  income  tax  liabilities arise
requiring  the expenditure of cash.   Due  to currently available  net operating
loss carryforwards, the  Company expects this general trend to  continue through
1995.  Substantially all of the Company's deferred tax assets at March 31,  1995
were comprised  of net operating  loss carryforwards  for which the Company  has
provided  allowances.    The  ability  of  the  Company  to  utilize these  loss
carryforwards in the future is dependent on profitable operations in the various
countries  in  which  loss  carryforwards  exist  and  the  specific  rules  and
regulations governing the  utilization of such losses, including  the timeframes
in which the losses must be used.
