NOTE 3.  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during each year which totaled 4,461,121 for the
quarters ended March 31, 1999, and 1998. The inclusion of common stock
equivalents would have been antidilutive and were not included for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.

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 March 31:

                  BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE          DILUTIVE EARNINGS PER SHARE
       1999                $.004                               $.004
       1998                 $.01                               $.01

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, increased to $6,113,113 from
$5,850,130 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $262,983 or
(4.5%). Revenue for the Quarter ended March 31, 1999 at $2,511,398 was up
$239,488 from the $2,271,910 earned for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

U.S. revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 of $4,055,439 increased
$1,086,383 compared with the nine-month period the prior year of $2,969,056.
U.S. revenue for the third quarter of the current year $1,642,515 was $474,247
higher compared to $1,168,268 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. European
revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 of $2,057,694 decreased
$823,400 compared with the nine-month period in the prior year of $2,881,074.
European revenue for the third quarter of the current year at $868,883 was
$234,759 less compared to $1,103,642 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

U.S. revenue continues to increase as a result of growth in scanning services
revenue and the improved growth in data entry conversion revenue. European
revenue is down compared to last year as a result in the decline in library
retrospective conversion project revenue. As a result of a new contract with the
University Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan received in November 1998, and
increased activity with existing customers, third quarter revenue was up 46%
over the average of the previous two quarters.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 decreased $13,688 from the
prior year period to 20% of sales, compared to 21% of sales for the same period

same period in the prior year. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999 S&A

to an increase of $163,949 for the same period the prior year. Net cash from
operating activities decreased $151,740; net cash from investing activities

$146,078. Cash flow from financing activities of ($49,198) and effect of
exchange rate changes of ($13,598) make up the balance of the change.

The Company continues to analyze its exposure to potential data processing "Year
2000" problems and has formulated a plan to ensure its accounting systems are in
compliance by June 30, 1999, and all other systems are in compliance by December
31, 1999. This will be effected through replacement of PC-level hardware and an
upgrade to a third-party software package which has been certified Year 2000
compliant. Total planned cost through the balance of the current year is
expected to be less than $50,000 beyond continuing systems upgrades to increase
production performance. The Company is also in the process of compiling
certifications of Y2K compliance from its vendors. No external consulting
resource requirements are expected. The company believes that all actions and
implementation of new software should mitigate the effect of the Year 2000
issue. However, if 

                                       11

such modifications are not made or completed timely the Year 2000 issue could
have an effect on operations and financial condition of the company.

The Company's operations could be affected by the Euro. A material amount of
revenue generated by the sales and production facilities in the United Kingdom
is derived from customers located in countries adopting the common currency. The
Company will continue to be subject to exchange rate risk as a result of the
pound sterling's fluctuations against the new currency and may encounter pricing
pressure from competitors located in countries participating in its adoption.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company has signed an extension to its revolving credit agreement with UMB
Bank, Kansas City, Missouri. The agreement is secured by accounts receivable,
work in process, property and equipment and other assets, bearing interest at
