Note 3 - Measurement of Goodwill

Goodwill has been recorded in relation to the excess of the purchase price over
the fair values of the identified assets acquired.  The Company amortizes
goodwill over twenty-five years.  The carrying value of goodwill is evaluated
periodically in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted
net cash flows of the underlying business.  Adjustments are recorded if the sum
of the expected future net cash flows is less than the book value of the
goodwill.


Note 4 - Acquisition of Carlson Research Company

</TABLE>


Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 12.6% or $643,338
versus the same quarter in the prior year, to $5,741,807.  This increase in
revenue is the result of a significant increase in revenues from its European
division as well as increasing revenues in its Quality Management and Health
Care divisions.  The Company's  Consumer Research and Information Technologies
divisions revenues were below last year's level. The decline in revenues in the
Consumer Research Services division during the second quarter of fiscal 1996
can be attributed to the management focus in the division on the development of
new products.  This division, which markets the Company's EQUITREND product,
invested heavily in the second half of fiscal 1995 and the first half of fiscal
1996 in developing new products using the EQUITREND database that it introduced
in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

The Company's outlook for the remainder of fiscal year 1996 is for improvement
in operating results based on increasing revenues due to increasing clients and
capabilities (including its recent acquisition of Carlson Research Company),
its commitment to its internal total quality management program (which includes
a focus on re-engineering its research processes to improve profitability and
customer satisfaction on projects), its commitment to develop cutting-edge
predictive market research products and its efforts to reduce its general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues.

The Company defines  backlog as the unearned portions of its existing contracts
at each balance sheet date.  The Company's backlog at December 31, 1995 was
approximately $8,000,000 as compared to a backlog of approximately $7,300,000
at June 30, 1995 and approximately $5,600,000 at December 31, 1994.  The amount
of backlog at any time may not be indicative of intermediate or long-term
trends in the Company's operations.

Direct costs for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 totaled $2,574,202, an
increase of 8.8% or $208,422 versus the prior year's total of $2,365,780.  As
such, they were 44.8% of revenues, as compared to 46.4% of revenues in the
prior year.  This decrease in direct costs as a percentage of revenues is the
result of the Company's overall change in the mix of work it performed during
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 versus the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  In
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company delivered a greater percentage of
qualitative business, which is typically more labor intensive and, therefore,
generates higher gross margins as compared to the equivalent quarter in fiscal
1995.
<PAGE>   8
Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 totaled $3,033,347, an
increase of 39.2% or $853,807 over the same quarter in the prior year.   The
increase can be attributed to costs associated with the negotiation and
integration of the acquisition of Carlson Research Company, the payroll costs
associated with the investment in staffing for new levels of business the
Company is experiencing, especially in the European division., corporate
development costs, additional sales costs, costs associated with automation of
the management information systems as well as additional fringe benefits costs.
Expressed as a percent of revenue, operating expenses increased to 52.8% of
revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, versus 42.8% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1995.  Expressed as a percentage of gross profit, operating
expenses increased to 95.8% of gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal
1996, versus 79.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Income from operations decreased $418,891 to $134,258 during the second quarter
of fiscal 1996, as compared to $553,149 during the second quarter of fiscal
1995, for all the reasons set forth herein.

The Company's interest expenses increased $47,366 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 to $102,121, as compared to $54,755 in the second quarter of fiscal
1995, as a result of the funding of the acquisitions of  TR - Europe and
Carlson Research Company and the funding of additional working capital related
to the Company's growth.

Other income (expense) totaled ($15,241) for the second quarter of  fiscal
1996, a decrease of $15,246 versus income of $5 during the second quarter of
fiscal 1995, due primarily to the reserve for  non-recurring professional
expenses.  Also included is licensing income of approximately $10,000 earned by
the Company as the result of its licensing arrangement with TRCA in Argentina.

Income before taxes totaled $16,896 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996
versus $498,399 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 for the reasons set forth
above.  The income tax provision for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was
$9,993, versus $213,686 for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 due to the
decreased earnings of the Company.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was $6,903, or $.00 per share,
versus earnings of $284,713, or $.03 per share for the second quarter of fiscal
1995.

Revenues for the first six  months of  fiscal 1996 increased 17% or $1,629,215
versus the same six months in the prior year, to $11,046,934.  This increase in
revenue is the result of a significant increase in revenues from its European
division as well as increasing revenues in its Quality Management and Health
Care.  The Company's  Consumer Research and Information Technologies divisions
revenues were below last year's level. The decline in revenues in the Consumer
Research Services division during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 can be
attributed to the management focus in the division on the development of new
products.  This division, which markets the Company's EQUITREND product,
invested heavily in the second half of fiscal 1995 in developing new products
using the EQUITREND database that it has introduced in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996.

The Company defines  backlog as the unearned portions of its existing contracts
at each balance sheet date.  The Company's backlog at December 31, 1995 was
approximately $8,000,000 as compared to a backlog of approximately  $7,400,000
at September 30, 1995, $7,300,000 at June 30, 1995 and  approximately
$5,600,000 at December 31, 1994.  The amount of backlog at any time may not be
indicative of intermediate or long-term trends in the Company's operations.

Direct costs increased 21% or $866,172 for the first six months of fiscal 1996
to $5,060,327 versus the prior year's six month total of $4,194,155.  As such,
they were 45.8% of revenues, as compared to 44.5% of revenues in the prior
year.  This increase in direct costs as a percentage of revenues is the result
of the Company's overall change in the mix of work it performed during the
first six months of fiscal 1996 versus the first six months of fiscal 1995.
The Company delivered a much greater percentage of quantitative business during
the first quarter, which typically includes substantial out-of-pocket expenses
for data collection versus qualitative business, which is typically more labor
intensive and, therefore, generates higher gross margins.  In the second
quarter of fiscal 1996, the mix shifted to increased qualitative business, and
the gross profit margins improved correspondingly.

Operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1996 totaled $5,467,474,
an increase of 25% or $1,106,253 over the first six months of fiscal 1995.
The increase can be attributed to the payroll costs associated with the
investment in staffing for new levels of business, especially in the European
division, the costs associated with the negotiation and integration of Carlson
Research Company, corporate development costs, additional sales costs, costs
associated with the automation of the management information systems, and
additional fringe benefit costs.  Expressed as a percent of revenue, operating
expenses increased to 49.5% of revenue in the first six months of fiscal 1996,
versus 46.3% in the first six months of fiscal 1995.  Expressed as a percentage
of gross profit, operating expenses increased to 91.3% of gross profit in the
first six months of fiscal 1996, versus 83.5% in the first six months of fiscal
1995.

Income from operations decreased $343,210 to $519,133 during the first six
months of fiscal 1996, as compared to $862,343 during the first six months  of
fiscal 1995, for all the reasons set forth herein.

The Company's interest expense increased $105,023 in the first six months of
fiscal 1996 to $184,178, as compared to $79,155 in the first six months of
fiscal 1995, as a result of the funding of the acquisition of  TR - Europe  and
Carlson Research Company and the funding of additional working capital related
to the Company's growth.

Other income (expense) totaled ($45,241) for the first six months of  fiscal
1996, a decrease of $47,206 versus income of $1,965 during the first six months
of fiscal 1995, due primarily to the reserve for non-recurring professional
services. Also included is licensing income of approximately $30,000 earned by
the Company as the result of its licensing arrangement with TRCA in Argentina.

Income before taxes totaled $289,714 for the first six months of fiscal 1996
versus $785,153 in the first six months of fiscal 1995 for the reasons set
forth above.

The income tax provision for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was $107,713,
versus $319,965 for the first six months of fiscal 1995 due to the decreased
earnings of the Company.

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was $182,001, or $.02 per
share, versus earnings of $465,188 or $.05 per share for the first six months
of fiscal 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital increased to $1,033,295,  at December 31, 1995 from $(5,198) at
September 30, 1995, and $210,775 at June 30, 1995, and the current ratio
increased to 1.16 from 1.00 at September 30, 1995 and 1.04 at June 30, 1995.
The increase in working capital is attributable to a restructuring of the
Company's financing, as discussed below, which had the effect of decreasing the
current portion of the Company's debt by approximately $630,000 as compared to
the levels of June 30, 1995, and by the acceleration of billings of the
Company's clients which has resulted in higher receivables and improved cash
generation during the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

The Company's Notes Payable (both short term and long term) were approximately
$3.4 at December 31, 1995, compared to $3.6 million at September 30, 1995 and
$3.0 million at June 30, 1995,  The reduction of working capital financing was
approximately $.05 million, net of  the funding of the acquisition of Carlson
Research Company for approximately $287,000.

The structure of the Company's Notes payable was $2.38 million long-term and
$1.03 million short-term.  The Company reached an agreement with United Jersey
Bank (UJB) of Princeton, NJ on a $4.75 million financing package to improve the
structure of its debt such that the long term debt reflects the Company's
investment in long-term assets, including its acquisitions of TR - Europe and
Carlson Research Company as well as its Capitalized Market Research Products.

Inflation had no material effect on the financial performance of the Company
during the periods reported.

In December 1995, and pursuant to restructuring of its debt with UJB the
Company revised its existing line of credit with UJB as follows:

         A $1.25 million revolving line of credit capped at 50% of eligible
         receivables (including standby letters of credit of approximately
         $125,000).  The interest rate is based on certain financial covenants
         and is currently 1/2% above the prime rate.   At December 31, 1995,
         the Company had borrowed $0 against the revolving line of credit. The
         Company is obligated to pay United Jersey Bank a commitment fee of
         1/4% on the average unused amount of the revolving line of credit,
         paid quarterly.

         A three-year $3,000,000 term loan with equal principal payments of
         $50,000 each month with a balloon payment on December 31, 1998.  The
         interest rate on this loan is fixed at 8.6% per annum.

         A $500,000 term loan is available to the Company to finance the
         purchase of certain fixed assets.  This loan has not been drawn down.

The  agreement with UJB executed in 1991 contained a provision that the Company
grant to UJB five-year warrants for 232,514 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share.  UJB continues to hold these
warrants.

The agreement with UJB executed on December 28, 1995 also contains
restrictions, one of which requires the Company to maintain certain financial
ratios.  As of December 31, 1995, the Company has met these minimum ratios.

The Company also has a bank overdraft facility of L.300,000 with Coutts & Co in
London, England.  This facility is charged at a rate of 3% above the UK Base
Rate.  At December 31, 1995, the bank borrowings were at L.284,663
(approximately US$ 430,000) and the UK Base Rate was 6.75%.

Cash totaled $46,837 at December 31, 1995 versus $128,071 at June 30, 1995,

Net Accounts Receivable totaled $4,554,623 at December 31, 1995, compared to
$3,578,493 at the June 30, 1995, for a net increase of $976,130.  The increase
in receivables is the result of an acceleration in the billing of clients in
the second quarter of fiscal 1995.
<PAGE>   11
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts
totaled $1,969,728 at December 31, 1995, compared to $1,685,041 at June
30,1995, for a net increase of $284,687. The normal fluctuations in the billing
cycle of work-in-progress accounted for this increase.

Fixed assets at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization increased
by $237,576 at December 31, 1995 to $2,221,544, compared to $2,101,383 at June
30, 1995, due primarily to the expansion of the Company's London operations.

Capitalized Market Research Products, net increased by $121,946 at December 31,
1995 to $479,404, compared to $357,458 at June 30, 1995.  The increase is the
result of several new products the Company is currently developing, notably the
Continuous EquiTrend product.  The Company plans to introduce these products
during fiscal year 1996

Deferred Data Accumulation Costs decreased by $(8,177) at December 31, 1995 to
$850,046, compared to $858,223 at June 30, 1995.  The relatively small
fluctuation represents the fact the Company is amortizing the historical costs
at approximately the same rate  as data accumulation costs are incurred with
current product offerings.

Current portion of notes payable decreased by $633,368 at December 31, 1995 to
$1,032,688, compared to $1,666,056 at June 30, 1995.  The decrease is due to
the restructuring of the Company's debt with UJB, as discussed above.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $44,612 at December 31, 1995
to $3,008,297, compared to $2,963,685 at June 30, 1995.  The usual fluctuations
in the Company's business accounted for the change.

 Billings in excess of earnings increased $1,151,024 at December 31, 1995 to
$2,219,304, compared to $1,068,280 at June 30, 1995.  The acceleration of
billings to clients in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 accounted for this
increase.

Federal and state income taxes payable decreased $96,528 at December 31, 1995
to $31,968, compared to $128,496 at June 30, 1995, as a result of the reduced
earnings of the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

The long-term  portion of lease obligations increased $43,824 at December 31
1995 to $88,174, compared to $44,350 at June 30, 1995.  Leases assumed by TR -
Europe accounted for this increase.

Notes payable increased $1,018,715 at December 31, 1995 to $2,379,973, compared
to $1,361,258 at June 30, 1995.  The increase is due to the restructuring of
the Company's financing with UJB, as discussed above.
