(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The interim financial statements include all adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the
financial statements not misleading. The amounts indicated as "audited" have
been extracted from the Company's December 31, 1994 annual report. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in PC
Quote's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current presentation.

Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development,
including coding and testing activities necessary to establish technological
feasibility of computer software products to be sold, leased or otherwise
marketed, are charged to research and development costs as incurred. Once
technological feasibility has been determined, costs incurred in the
construction phase of software development, including coding, testing and
product quality assurance, are capitalized.

Amortization is provided over an estimated life of the software products and
commences when the product is available for general release to customers.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

During the first quarter the Company has instituted a change in its billing
system. The Company has been billing customers during the month the service is
being provided. The industry traditionally bills for service in advance and
expects payment the month before the service is provided. This change will bring
the Company's billing cycle in line with the industry standard. The result of
this change is an increase in accounts receivable of $759,495 for April service.
This change in billing cycle and the increase in deposits resulted in an
increase in unearned revenue of $756,317.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is stated as $13,224 in the first quarter as
opposed to $100,000 for 1994. This resulted from a write off of $95,135 in the
fourth quarter of 1994 based on closing the foreign subsidiary.

Service revenues for the three months and quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased
slightly to $3,199,669 from $3,195,308 in the same quarter last year.

Net income for the first quarter of 1995 increased to $320,996 from $91,213 for
the same period in 1994.

Direct costs of services for the three month period and quarter ended March 31,
1995 decreased 7.2% from the same quarter last year.

Research and development costs decreased 37.2% for the three month period and
quarter ended March 31, 1995 from the same quarter last year.

Selling and marketing costs decreased 3.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
from the same quarter last year.

<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses remained basically unchanged for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995.

Interest income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1995 from the
corresponding period in 1994.

Interest expense decreased 24.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 1995 from
the same period in 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

Operating activities provided the principal source of cash for the Company for
the three months ended March 31, 1995. Receivables increased as the result of
the change in the billing cycle to industry standard advance billing. The
Company believes that the advanced billing cycle instituted during the first
quarter will increase positive cash flow over the balance of this year. With
regard to investing activities, the Company's investing activities were for
purchases of equipment and costs associated with the development of software.
Financing activities used cash principally for payments on a bank note and for
capital and operating lease obligations. The Company expects existing cash and
cash generated by operations will be sufficient to finance the Company's
operations through the remainder of 1995.

The Company believes general inflation does not materially impact its sales and
operating results nor is it expected that the effect of existing tax reform will
significantly affect the Company's future position, liquidity or operating
results.
