NOTE 3. LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during each period which totaled 4,461,121 for the quarters ended
September 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The inclusion of common stock
equivalents would have been antidilutive and were not included for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998.

Effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE. The standard amends the computation of earnings per share to
provide for two measures, Basic Earnings Per Share and Dilutive Earnings Per
Share. Under this standard, the Company would have reported the following for
the quarters ended December 31:

                BASIC EPS           DILUTIVE EPS

       1999       $(.01)               $(.009)
       1998       $(.04)               $ (.04)

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased 23.5% to
$2,181,781 from $1,766,685 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. U.S.
revenue for the quarter increased 41.1% and European revenue decreased 14.6%
compared to the prior year first quarter. The sales mix in the United States
continues to grow with the traditional data conversion projects and scanning
projects increasing consistently; revenue from Europe was down due to poor
delivery performance of a major subcontractor. Revenue from foreign sources
comprised 21.9% of consolidated revenues for the first three months of the
current year as compared with 31.6% in the prior year.

Loss before taxes of $(44,274) was reduced $209,609 as compared with $(253,883)
in the prior year. U.S. Income before taxes increased $40,763 to $57,204, while
Europe's loss before taxes was $168,846 lower than the previous year. Gross
profit for the quarter of $546,098 was $282,262 higher and gross margin of 25%
was 10% higher than results from the first quarter of the prior year, with the
company continuing to lower it's cost in Europe and move the overall business
into higher value added services.

Selling and administrative (S&A) expenses for the current year quarter increased
$70,305 to $579,508 from $509,203 for the same period in the prior year. As a
percentage of sales, S&A decreased to 26.6% from the 28.8% ratio of the prior
year period.

Cash for the period decreased $123,103, and borrowing on the line of credit
increased by $382,292. This is a result of increased sales revenue which
increased accounts receivables by $115,394, the pay down of accrued liabilities
of $203,181 and an increase in work in process inventory of $84,131, as a result
of the work being performed in Europe that is ahead of schedule. All work in
process inventory is for existing contracts and should be delivered in the next
3 months.

The Company has analyzed its exposure to potential data processing "Year 2000"
problems and formulated a plan to ensure its systems were in compliance by
December 31, 1999. This has been effected through replacement of PC-level
hardware and an upgrade to a third-party software package, which has been
certified as Year 2000 compliant. Total cost is under $100,000, and is a subset
of ongoing systems upgrades to increase production.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

At September 30, 1999 the Company had borrowed $383,292 under its revolving
credit agreement which allows for borrowings of $500,000. The revolving credit
agreement provides for interest at the lender's prime rate plus 2.5% (10.75 % at
September 30, 1999). The credit agreement is secured by substantially all
domestic assets of the Company, including the stock of subsidiaries. The
revolving credit agreement is intended to be a continuing agreement and shall
remain in full effect for an initial term of one year and for any renewal term
of one year unless terminated by either party within 30 days prior to the end of
any such period. The initial term of the revolving credit agreement is from June
22, 1999 to June 21, 2000. Maximum borrowing under the agreement is limited to
80% of outstanding domestic accounts receivable less than ninety days old, up to
$500,000. The Company is in compliance with covenants contained in the current
agreement and was in compliance at all times with the covenants contained in the
agreement during the period ending September 30, 1999.
