Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Results of Operations. The Company increased revenues from services to
$63,240,036 from $25,635,755, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994. This represents an
increase of $37,604,281 or 147%. The sales increase came from an increase
in same store sales, and from opening new locations, as indicated below:

           Same store sales increase          $  5,952,364
           New locations                        31,651,917
                                               -----------
            Total increase                     $37,604,281
                                               ===========


The increase in revenues also resulted in an increase in net profit for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $1,508,288 compared to a net profit of
$614,558 for the same period a year earlier. This represents an increase of
$893,730 or 145%. The increase in net profits is primarily the result of a 
high level of growth in revenues. The high levels of growth have required that
the Company continue to incur corresponding levels of operating expenses.
Consequently, as a percentage of revenues, net profit has stayed relatively
constant at 2.4% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994. Management anticipates high levels of growth through 1996, and expects
that net profits as a percentage of revenues will remain relatively constant
during this period.

The Company grew from fifty-one operating dispatch locations at December 31,
1994 to one hundred operating locations at September 30, 1995, an increase of
forty-nine operating dispatch locations for the nine month period.

Opening costs for new dispatch locations; which are expensed, are estimated to
have averaged $35,000 per location in 1995 and $25,000 in 1994. In the
aggregate, a total of $1,715,000 was expended on new location openings for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $625,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994. The Company estimates that two thirds of these new
location opening costs are included in cost of sales and one third of these
new location opening costs are classified as operating expenses.

Cost of revenues increased to $51,066,172 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 from $20,298,766 for the same period in 1994, an increase of
$30,767,406 or 152%. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to
80.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, from 79.2% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, an increase of 1.5%. This increase is
primarily the result of an increase in labor costs.
 
Operating expenses increased from $4,133,823 to $9,158,043, an increase of
$5,024,220 or 122%. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased
to 14.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, from 16.1% for the same
period a year earlier. This percentage decrease in operating expenses
partially offset the percentage increase on cost of revenues, and resulted
primarily from more efficient administrative operations.

Liquidity and Financial Condition. At September 30, 1995 the Company had
$3,407,398 of working capital to finance its operations. 

Accounts receivable as a percentage of the previous quarters sales has
remained relatively static as a result of the Company's ongoing accounts
receivable collection practices. The Company continues to experience a low
rate of uncollectible accounts and expects that accounts receivable as a
percentage of sales will remain relatively steady in coming periods. A
comparison of accounts receivable as a percentage of revenues for the nine
month periods ending on September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, follows:

						September 30	September 30
                                       1995               1994
   
           Comparable quarter sales  $30,872,700       $12,099,977
           Accounts receivable, net   14,223,147         5,661,454
           Percentage                        46%               47%

Management intends to open an estimated one hundred new dispatch locations
by the end of 1996. To finance these projected new locations and related
increases in selling and overhead expenses, the Company recently completed
a private placement financing of long-term subordinated debt in the amount
of $10,000,000.

A temporary increase in the accounts receivable operating line of credit to
$9,000,000 was completed in August 1995. In connection with the private
placement debt financing, the accounts receivable operating line of credit
was reduced to $5,000,000, and the term was extended through June of 1996.
