                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 2000
                                   (unaudited)


(1)  Basis  of  Presentation

     The interim financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant
     to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
     (SEC). Certain information and footnote  disclosures,  normally included in
     financial   statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules
     and  regulations;  nevertheless,  management  believes that the disclosures
     herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
     financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
     statements and notes thereto  included in the Form 10K and Proxy Statement.
     In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments,  consisting only of normal
     recurring  adjustments,  necessary to present fairly the financial position
     of the Company as of June 30, 2000,  and the  statements of income and cash
     flows for the six month  periods  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  have been
     included herein.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for the full years.

(2)  Under the  requirements  in  Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
     (SFAS) No. 128 for  calculating  basic  earnings  per share,  the  dilutive
     effect of stock options and warrants are excluded.

(3)  Litigation  Settlement

     On May 11, 1999  the  Company announced  it had entered  into  a settlement
     agreement with the State of Hawaii and  Complete  Business  Solutions, Inc.
     ("CBSI"). See Item 1 - Legal Proceedings.


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

CAUTIONARY  STATEMENT  REGARDING  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS

     This  report  contains  forward-looking statements reflecting the Company's
expectations  or  beliefs  concerning future events that could materially affect
Company  performance  in the future.  All forward-looking statements are subject
to  the  risks  and uncertainties inherent with predictions and forecasts.  They
are  necessarily  speculative  statements,  and  unforeseen  factors,  such  as
competitive  pressures,  litigation  results  and  regulatory  and state funding
changes  could cause results to differ materially from any that may be expected.
Actual  results  and  events  may  therefore  differ  significantly  from  those
discussed  in  forward-looking  statements. Moreover, forward-looking statements
are  made in the context of information available as of the date stated, and the
Company  undertakes no obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect
new  circumstances  or  unanticipated  events  as  they  occur.

GENERAL

     In  July  2000,  the Company announced that the State of Maine had extended
the  Company's  contract  to support and enhance the MACWIS child welfare system
for  another  year.  The  value  of  the contract is approximately $1.7 million.


<PAGE>
YEAR  2000  DISCLOSURE

     The  "Year  2000  Issue"  is the result of the use of two digits instead of
four  to  define  the  applicable  year. The Company has completed its Year 2000
program by testing and upgrading (when necessary) all software and hardware.  At
the time of filing of this 10-Q, the Company has not experienced, or anticipates
experiencing,  any  significant  problems  internally  or  externally  to  its
operations.  Although the Company believes it has completed this upgrade program
successfully,  there  can  be no assurance that this program will continue to be
successful  in  remediating  the  impact  of  the  "Year  2000  Issue".

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  -  SIX  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  2000 COMPARED TO 1999

     Contract  revenue  increased  $621,641  or  12%  from $5,238,770 in the six
months  ended June 30, 1999 to $5,860,411 in the six months ended June 30, 2000,
primarily  due  to  the  addition  of  the  State of Rhode Island, Department of
Children,  Youth  and Families maintenance and support contract known as RICHIST
("RICHIST")  in  February,  2000.

     Cost  of  revenue  earned,  consisting  of  direct  employee  labor, direct
contract  expense  and  subcontracting  expense,  increased $603,489 or 19% from
$3,139,753 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3,743,242 in the six months
ended  June  30,  2000  due  to  increased  contract  revenues and startup costs
associated  with  the  RICHIST  contract.

     Gross  profit  increased  $18,152 or 1%, from $2,099,017 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to $2,117,169 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Gross
profit  as  a percentage of revenue earned decreased from 40% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  The decrease
in  gross  profit  percentage  is  due  to  higher costs relating to the RICHIST
contract.

     Selling,  general  and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $179,461,
or  13%,  from $1,356,359 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,535,820 in
the six months ended June 30, 2000, due to an increase in marketing and business
development  staff  and  related activities related to the Company's strategy to
grow  the  private  sector  business.  On  a  percentage of revenues basis, SG&A
expenses  were  26%  both  for  the  six  months  ended  June 30, 1999 and 2000.

     The  litigation  settlement,  consisting  of  (1)  the  write-off of Hawaii
related  receivables,  work in process and liabilities, (2) the present value of
the  payment  due to Hawaii and (3) a $300,000 payment from CBSI, is $3,176,665.
See  Item  1  -  Legal Proceedings and Note 3 to the Financial Statements.  This
settlement  was  reflected  in  the  Statement  of  Income  for  1999.

     Interest  expense increased $20,239 to $79,603, or 34%, from $59,364 due to
imputed  interest  on  the  settlement obligation with the State of Hawaii.  See
Item  1  -  Legal  Proceedings.

     Income  before  income taxes increased $3,033,635 from a loss of $2,461,673
for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1999 to net income of $571,962 for the six
months  ended  June  30,  2000  primarily  due to the one-time Hawaii settlement
charge  in  1999  and  the  other  factors  described  above.

     Net  income  increased $1,792,500 from a net loss of $1,455,042 for the six
months  ended  June 30, 2000 to net income of  $337,458 for the six months ended
June  30,  2000.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     In  order  to  finance  bid  preparation  costs  and  to  obtain sufficient
collateral  to support performance bonds required by some customers, the Company
has,  in  the  past,  entered  into joint ventures with other firms with greater
financial resources when bidding for contracts.  The Company expects to continue
and  expand  this  practice  prospectively  as  well  as to pursue more time and
material  contracts  than  it  has  historically  pursued.  Time  and  materials
contracts  generally  do not require performance bonds and almost always involve
less  risk  to  meet  customer  requirements.

     The  Company  has  historically  not  received  its first contract progress
payments  until  approximately  three  to six months after contract award, which
itself  was  as  much  as  12  months after proposal preparation commences.  The
Company was therefore required to fund substantial costs well before the receipt
of  related  income,  including  marketing  and proposal costs and the cost of a
performance  bond.  Prospectively,  the  Company  expects  to  tighten  up  this
timetable,  thereby  reducing  the  requirement  for additional working capital.

     The  Company  has funded its operations through cash flows from operations,
bank  borrowings,  borrowings  from  venture partners, and private placements of
equity  securities.  Net  cash provided by operating activities was $322,564 and
$357,187  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999 respectively.
Fluctuations  in  net  cash  provided  by operating activities are primarily the
result  of  changes  in net income, accounts receivable, accounts payable, costs
and  estimated earnings in excess of billings on contracts due to differences in
contract  milestones  and  payment  dates,  as  well  as  income  tax  payments.

     On  September  21,  1998 the Company entered into two five-year term loans,
each  for  $250,000.  One  lender  was the Small Business Loan Fund Corporation,
("SBLFC"),  a  subsidiary  of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation.
The  other  lender  was  the  Business  Development  Corporation of Rhode Island
("BDC").  The  SBLFC  loan  carries  an annual interest rate of 9.5% and must be
repaid over five years.  The BDC loan carries an annual interest rate of 10.25%,
and  an  annual  deferred  fee of $5,000, and must be paid back over five years.
Both term loans are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.  The
BDC was also issued five-year warrants to purchase 11,500 unregistered shares of
the  Company's  Common Stock at a price of $4.50 per share.  The warrants expire
on  September  20,  2003.  The  fair  value of the warrants was estimated by the
Company  to  be  $36,806  using  the  Black-Scholes model and is being amortized
ratably  over  the exercise period.  Such amount is included in other noncurrent
assets  on  the  accompanying  balance  sheet.

     On  November  15, 1999, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit
with  a commercial bank.  This $1 million revolving line of credit is secured by
all  of  the  assets  of the Company and the security interest of the commercial
bank  is superior to that of SBLFC and BDC.  The Company can borrow up to 80% of
certain  qualified  accounts receivable at an interest rate of prime plus 1/4 %.
On  June  30,  2000,  the revolving line of credit had an outstanding balance of
zero.

     The  Company  believes  that  cash  flow  generated  by  operations will be
sufficient  to  fund continuing operations through the end of 2000.  The Company
believes  that  inflation  has  not  had  a  material  impact  on its results of
operations  to  date.

                      PART  II  -  OTHER  INFORMATION

ITEM  1.  LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS

     As  of  June  30,  2000,  the  Company  was not involved in any litigation.

     On  November  12,  1996,  the  State  of Hawaii filed a lawsuit against the
Company  and Aetna Casualty and Surety and Federal Insurance Company for damages
due  to  an alleged breach of a child support enforcement (CSE) contract between
the Company and the State of  Hawaii.  The Company denied the State's allegation
and  filed  a  counter-clam  alleging  the  State  breached  the  contract.   In
addition, on December 13, 1996, Complete Business Solutions, Inc. ("CBSI") filed
a  lawsuit  against  the  Company seeking damages relating to CBSI's subcontract
with the Company to the Hawaii CSE contract.  The Company disputed CBSI's claims
and  filed  a number of counterclaims.  On February 3, 1997, the Company filed a
third-party  complaint against MAXIMUS Corporation, Hawaii's contract supervisor
and  advisor  on  the  Hawaii  CSE  contract, alleging, among other things, that
MAXIMUS  tortiously  interfered  in that contract.  On May 11, 1999, the Company
reached  a  settlement  agreement  to end its  lawsuits with the State of Hawaii
and  CBSI.  Per the settlement, the Company agreed to pay the State of Hawaii $1
million  over four years and received $300,000 from CBSI. As of the date of this
filing,  the  Company  has  paid $500,000. The settlement resulted in a one-time
charge  to  pre-tax  earnings  during  the  period  ending June 30, 1999 of $3.1
million  ($1.9  after-tax  ).  On  October  29,  1999, MAXIMUS agreed to pay the
Company  $50,000  in  exchange  for  dismissal  of  the  Company's  third-party
complaint.
