              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only
     of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
     position as of June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 and the results of
     operations for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 1994 and
     June 30, 1993 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and
     June 30, 1993.

2.   These financial statements are presented in accordance with the
     requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently may not include all disclosures
     normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or those
     normally made in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly,
     the financial statements and related notes in the Company's Annual Report
     on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 should be read in
     conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
     statements.

3.   Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share is based on the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
     equivalents outstanding.  The effect of dilution from the exercise of stock
     options is considered in the computation of earnings (loss) per common and
     common equivalent share by the use of the modified treasury stock method
     for the quarters ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and March 31, 1994 and 1993,
     since options outstanding exceeded 20% of the shares of common stock
     outstanding.  In applying the modified treasury stock method for the period
     ended June 30, 1994 and March 31, 1994, stock options were not included as
     they were anti-dilutive.

4.   Effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed its method of recognizing
     revenue on InfoScan, PromotionScan and BehaviorScan products whereby
     revenue is recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line
     basis.  Previously, the Company recognized a portion of the initial
     contract revenue in the period between client commitment and either the
     start of forward data or the test commencement in order to match revenue
     with the costs associated with the efforts to set up and customize client
     reports and furnish the initial historical data (backdata) with the
     remaining revenue recognized ratably over the initial contract term.

     The Company believes this change is preferable because the new accounting
     policy is consistent with the Company's change in business strategies to
     emphasize value added service to existing clients. Other factors also
     having a bearing on this decision include:

     (a) Set-up and backdata activities associated with new customers as a
         percentage of total IRI's business have decreased and are expected to
         decrease further in the future as customers continue to renew and
         extend their existing contracts.

     (b) The Company is expanding its business internationally through
         acquisitions and has found that contract revenues for information
         services have been accounted for on a straight-line basis by many of
         the acquired companies. As a result, the implementation of the
         Company's accounting policies is difficult because the accounting
         systems of many foreign companies often do not routinely provide
         adequate cost information.

     The cumulative effect of this change for periods prior to January 1, 1994
     of $6,594,000 (after reduction for the income tax effect of $4,440,000) is
     shown separately in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The
     effect of the change on the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was to reduce the
     loss, before the cumulative effect, by approximately $455,000 after tax
     ($.02 per share).

                                  (UNAUDITED)

The pro forma amounts summarized below have been adjusted for the effect of
retroactive application on revenues and the change in minority interest and
related income taxes that would have been made had the new method been in
effect.  The actual amounts for each quarter and year are being reported for
comparative purposes.

5.   In the first quarter of 1994, the Company established a pre-tax reserve of
     $5.0 million related to shareholder litigation.

6.   In April 1994, the Company and the privately held Asia-based SRG Holdings
     Limited, agreed to cancel plans to merge. The Company recorded a pre-tax
     charge of $1.4 million related to expenses incurred in connection with the
     cancelled merger. The pre-tax effect of the charge was reflected as of
     March 31, 1994 in the Company's selling, general and administrative
     expenses.

7.   In April 1994, the Company signed an agreement in principle with Tokyo-
     based Mitsui & Co., Ltd., to form a joint venture named Information
     Resources Japan, Ltd., to provide efficient consumer response (ECR)
     initiatives, syndicated market tracking services, logistics and business
     intelligence software products and value-added consulting in Japan. The
     joint venture is expected to begin operations on October 1, 1994.

REVENUES

The Company's revenue from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994
increased 14.0% to $179.9 million compared to $157.8 million for the first six
months of 1993.  Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 1994
increased 12.3% to $92.2 million compared to $82.1 million for the same period
of 1993.  The revenue growth resulted principally from growth in InfoScan
revenues and, to a lesser extent, increased revenues from software support
services.

Revenues from the Company's InfoScan product line for the six months ended June
30, 1994 were $99.7 million, an increase of 18.7% over the same period in 1993.
InfoScan revenues for the second quarter of 1994 were $51.5 million, an increase
of 16.3% over the same period in 1993. The growth in InfoScan's revenues was
principally the result of increased utilization of InfoScan services by existing
clients. The Company's competitor in the information services business, the A.C.
Nielsen Company, introduced unusual price competition late in the fourth quarter
1993 which has continued into 1994. This has had the effect of limiting the
Company's ability to achieve domestic InfoScan revenue growth through new
clients switching from the A.C. Nielsen Company to the Company for scanner-based
market tracking services. Management has no reason to expect that the A.C.
Nielsen Company will discontinue its current pricing practices. Management is
investigating whether pricing and other practices by the A.C. Nielsen Company
are anticompetitive, and, if so, what appropriate remedies might be sought.

The Company recently implemented a change in its domestic InfoScan strategy
which management believes will better focus the Company's resources on
delivering added value, and thereby build revenue, with its existing clients.

Revenues from the Company's software support services were $49.2 million, an
increase of 5.4% over the same six month period in 1993.  Second quarter 1994
revenues were $25.0 million, increasing 6.3% over the second quarter of 1993.
The revenue growth in software support services was less than prior quarters of
1993 which the Company attributes to delays in the introduction of, and
transition to, the Windows versions for certain of the Company's software
products.

BehaviorScan and related testing services revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1994 were $11.0 million compared to $10.5 million for the same period
in 1993.  For the three months ended June 30, 1994 BehaviorScan revenues were
$5.3 million compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 1993.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1994 were $151.8 million,
an increase of 24.2% over the same period in 1993.  Operating expenses for the
second quarter of 1993 increased 26.0% to $79.2 million from $62.9 million for
the same period in 1993.  These increases were primarily due to increases in
compensation, amortization of deferred data procurement costs, and other costs
related to increases in the client service staff and computer operations
required to deliver InfoScan services and other information services which
include InfoScan NMRA Limited Joint Venture (NMRA).  Client service staffing
increased in support of current and planned future revenue increases, and
computer operations increased in support of the Company's "OMEGA" production re-
engineering and cost reduction program and support for current revenue growth.
Deferred data procurement costs increased primarily due to the Company's
expansion of its data collection into convenience store outlets and its
continuing expansion through NMRA of data collection in the United Kingdom.  In
software support services, increased staff and computer hardware and software
expansion to support current and planned revenue growth also contributed to
increases in operating expenses.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993 were $21.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively, an increase of
31.0%. SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 1994 were $10.8 million, an
increase of 24.9% over the same period of 1993. The increases in SG&A expenses
are attributable to increased spending in marketing, recruiting, employee
development, training and professional fees associated with the Company's
international expansion, and to a lesser extent, increases in compensation and
related staffing costs associated with the Company's growth in both domestic and
international operations. In the first quarter of 1994, the Company recorded
expenses of $1.4 million incurred in connection with the cancelled merger with
Asia-based SRG Holdings Limited.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other expense increased to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994.
For the same period in 1993, the Company recorded other income of $214,000.  The
overall increase was due to interest expense on bank borrowings and a pre-tax
provision of $5.0 million related to shareholder litigation.

EQUITY IN LOSS OF AFFILIATED COMPANIES

Equity in loss of affiliated companies reflects losses recognized related to
equity investments.  The increase resulted principally from the equity losses
recognized by the Company related to the Company's investments in France and
Holland as the Company continued to expand its InfoScan services in these
countries.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate was 30.4% and 42.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The tax rate on operations including
minority interest was 41.0% and 40.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

CUMULATIVE EFFECT ON PRIOR YEARS OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed its method of recognizing
revenue on InfoScan, PromotionScan and BehaviorScan products.  Revenue now is
recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis.  Previously,
the Company recognized a portion of the initial contract revenue in the period
between client commitment and either the start of forward data or the test
commencement.  The cumulative effect of this change as of January 1, 1994 is a
$6.6 million after-tax charge.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 -
Accounting for Income Taxes effective January 1, 1993.  The cumulative effect of
this change at January 1, 1993 was to recognize a tax benefit of $1,864,000.

NET EARNINGS (LOSS)

As a result of the factors described above, net earnings (loss), were
essentially break-even for the second quarter and $(7.9) million loss for the
first six months of 1994 versus 1993 second quarter and year-to-date net income
of $6.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively.  Net earnings (loss) per share
was break-even and $(.31) for 1994 second quarter and first six months,
respectively, versus $.24 and $.46 for the comparable periods of 1993.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital at June 30, 1994 was $67.0 million, a decrease of $25.0 million
from December 31, 1993.  The decrease results from non-cash charges of $11.2
million relating to the change in the method of recognizing revenue and a $5.0
million litigation provision.  The decrease is also due to continued expansion
of the Company's business.

The Company increased its bank borrowings under its existing credit facility to
$23.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 1994.  The Company anticipates
continued borrowings under its credit facility to meet its cash needs through
the end of the year.  During May 1994, the Company replaced its $25 million
credit facility with a new $50 million credit facility ($30 million after 1994).

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds from its cash
balances, internally generated funds and its bank credit facility to satisfy
working capital needs through the end of 1994.  The Company is currently
exploring several alternatives available to it to satisfy its potential working
capital needs beyond 1994.  These include (without limitation) additional bank
borrowings, investments in the Company by strategic partners, issuance of long
term debt, and sale of preferred or common equity in public or private
transactions.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

      As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
      the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company was involved in a
      shareholder class action suit filed by certain shareholders in 1989.  On
      June 7, 1994, a federal district court jury returned a unanimous verdict
      in favor of the Company and the four individual defendants.  The
      plaintiffs in such action are seeking to overturn such decision though the
      Company does not believe the plaintiffs will prevail.
