                   DATATREND SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996


Note 1 - The Company
- --------------------

Datatrend, Inc. was incorporated on April 26, 1993 and commenced 
operations on that date.  Its principal business activity is the 
wholesale distribution and retail sale of new, refurbished and used 
computer hardware throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.  The 
company is also involved in performing service contracts involving 
refurbishing computer equipment for manufacturers.

In January of 1995, Datatrend, Inc., through a reverse acquisition, was 
merged with Babystar, Inc., a publicly traded company ("the Merger").  
Babystar, Inc. no longer has any operations.  Babystar's net loss for 
the three months ended June 30, 1995 is included in the Company's result 
for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  In November 1995, the 
combined entity changed its name to Datatrend Services, Inc.  References 
to " the Company" shall apply to Datatrend Services Inc., or, for the 
period prior to February 1995, Datatrend, Inc.. Datatrend, Inc. survives 
as the wholly owned and sole operating subsidiary of the company.

In connection with the Merger, certain former Datatrend, Inc. 
shareholders received 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, 
and may receive up to an additional 1,200,000 shares if after tax 
earnings reach certain levels.

The Company also has 4,265,200 stock warrants outstanding, which have 
exercise prices between $.5625 and $4.69 per share, with expiration 
dates between July, 1997 and June, 1998.


Note 2 - Accounting Policies and Disclosures
- --------------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation - The results of operations for the interim 
periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the fiscal year.  In the opinion of 
management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments 
necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a 
fair statement of such operations.  All such adjustments are of a normal 
recurring nature.

The accompanying financial statements do not contain all of the 
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and 
should be read in conjunction with financial statements and related 
notes included in the Company's annual report on form 10-KSB for the 
year ended December 31, 1995.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when its products 
are shipped to its customers.  Service revenue is recognized when 
services are provided to customers.  Service revenue totaled $2,325,766 
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $41,506 for the same period 
in 1995.


Note 3 - Notes Payable
- ----------------------

During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company maintained a line 
of credit with the bank which permitted borrowings of up to $5,000,000, 
and was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the 
Company.  In June of 1995, the Company entered into a similar loan 
arrangement with another bank.  At June 30, 1996, the Company has repaid 
these lines in full and closed them out.

The Company does not believe it will be adversely affected by the 
closing of the lines of credit.  The Company is currently in the process 
of pursuing alternative financing from financial institutions.  
Effective April 5, 1996, the Company converted $3,536,154 of trade 
accounts payable into term notes payable.  At June 30, 1996 the amount 
outstanding on the notes payable is $2,661,541.  In addition, effective 
April 30, 1996, the Company has obtained a $2,000,000 floor plan line of 
credit to finance the purchase of inventory.

Note 4 - Contingencies
- ----------------------

The Company has filed an action in United States District Court against 
a supplier of computer products, Jabil Circuit, Inc., for breach of 
contract and related damages.  The Company is seeking damages in excess 
of one half million dollars.  Jabil Circuit Inc. has filed a 
counterclaim against the Company seeking damages in excess of 2 million 
dollars.  The Company believes it will not be materially affected by the 
outcome of this lawsuit.

                   DATATREND SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
              MANAGEMENT' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                    CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Reserves
- ------------------------------

Working Capital was $2,905,000 at June 30, 1996 as compared to 
$2,496,000 at December 31, 1995 which represents an increase of 
$409,000.  This increase in working capital resulted primarily from the 
Company's profit for the first two quarters of 1996.  As discussed in 
more detail below, the Company terminated its line of credit 
relationships with its previous banks, paying off the entire balance of 
that line of credit prior to  the date hereof.

The Company previously maintained a line of credit with a local banking 
institution.  The balance of that line of credit at June 30, 1996 and 
December 31, 1995 was $-0- and $1,000,000 respectively.  As of May 1, 
1996, the Company has repaid that line of credit in full and has 
terminated that line of credit relationship.  It is not believed that 
the closing of this line of credit will adversely affect the Company.  
The Company is currently in the process of pursuing alternative 
financing from financial institutions.  Effective April 1, 1996 the 
Company was able to convert approximately $3,600,000 of trade accounts 
payable of a particular vendor into a twelve month term note payable.  
In addition, effective April 30, 1996, the Company has entered into a 
financing arrangement with a commercial finance provider which allows 
the Company access to up to $2,000,000 for the purchase of certain 
inventory.  Based upon the Company's working capital, reasonable 
expected levels of future revenues, and the availability of sums to the 
Company under the financing arrangements discussed above, the Company's 
management believes that it will be able to meet the Company's capital 
needs through June 30, 1997.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Effective February 1, 1995, the Company acquired all of the capital 
stock of Datatrend, Inc. ("DTI") by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of  
the Company into DTI.  DTI is a Massachusetts corporation, newly formed 
and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 
April 1993.  DTI is engaged in the wholesale and retail distribution of 
new, used and refurbished computer hardware and components.  
Substantially all of the Company's business operations are currently 
conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary, DTI.  For financial reporting 
purposes, the Merger of Babystar Inc. and DTI has been treated as if DTI 
acquired Babystar Inc.  Any references to the Company made in this 
management discussion and in the accompanying financial statements shall 
apply to Datatrend Services Inc., or, for the period prior to February 
1995,  DTI.  DTI survives as the sole operating subsidiary of the 
Company.

Substantially all of the Company's assets are included in inventory and 
accounts receivable.  Inventory values are $7,995,000 and $6,092,000, at 
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  This represents an 
increase of $1,903,000, or 31% during the first two quarters of 1996.  
This increase is due primarily to the increased sales volume for the 
second quarter of 1996.  Accounts receivable were $3,560,000 at June 30, 
1996 and $4,297,000 at December 31, 1995, decreasing $737,000, or 17%.  
This decrease can be attributed to the decrease in turnover time during 
the second quarter of 1996.  Other current assets, including advances to 
vendors, decreased $844,000 to $350,000 at June 30, 1996 from $1,194,000 
at December 31, 1995.  This decrease is primarily due to the reduction 
in advances to vendors as a result of the receipt of the associated 
inventory.

Accounts payable at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were $6,499,000 
and $6,873,000, an decrease of $374,000, or 5%. The reduction in 
accounts payable includes almost $3,600,000 in accounts payable to one 
vendor that was converted into a one year note payable in April of 1996. 
Exclusive of the note conversion accounts payable increased during the 
second quarter. The increased accounts payable has been offset by 
increases in inventory as more vendors extend credit terms to the 
Company.

                                 (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

The Company has paid off $3,080,000 in notes payable in the first two 
quarters of 1996.   At December 31, 1995, the Company had a short term 
note payable in the amount of $1,137,500 to an individual and $1,000,000 
to the bank from the revolving credit agreement these notes were repaid 
in full during 1996. In addition the Company has paid approximately 
$900,000 to the vendor whose accounts payable was converted to a note 
payable.

Revenues, including product sales and service revenue, for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 respectively were $19,996,000 and 
$13,209,000.  This represents an increase in revenues of $6,787,000 or 
51%.  This increase was due in part to a significant increase of 
approximately $2,284,000 in service revenue recognized by the Company 
during the first two quarters of 1996, as discussed below.  The 
additional increase in sales was due to increased volume of product 
sales to a variety of customers.

In the first two quarters of 1996, the Company earned $2,325,000 in 
service revenue, refurbishing the inventory of other manufacturers.  The 
Company earned $41,000 in service revenue in the first two quarters of 
1995, and $559,000 for the entire fiscal year 1995.  The service 
component of the Company's activities results in higher margins for the 
same level of revenue activity, or, conversely, requires less revenues 
to earn margins equivalent to an inventory sale.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, cost of sales were $15,072,000 
and $11,428,000 an increase of $3,644,000, or 32%.  The resulting gross 
profits on product sales were $2,598,000, or 15% of product sales, in 
the first two quarters of 1996, and $1,740,000, or 13% of product sales, 
for the same period in 1995.  Overall gross profits increased as a 
percent of sales due to Company's higher level of activity in 
refurbishing purchased inventory, which results in higher gross profit 
percentages than direct purchase and resale of inventory.

Operating expenses for the first two quarters of 1996 and 1995 were 
$4,043,000 and $1,879,000 respectively.  The increase of $2,164,000, or 
115% was a result of two major factors.  First, the Company engages in 
increased activity in refurbishing its purchased inventory.  This 
activity requires increased personnel levels, as well as a greater level 
of equipment and supplies.  Second, the Company's aforementioned 
increased service related activities result in additional expenses, 
primarily for increased labor to perform service related functions.

The Company's current operations have resulted in a profit in the first 
two quarters of 1996 of approximately $723,000, or $.15 per share, as 
compared to a loss during the first quarter of 1995 of approximately 
($153,000) or ($.04) per share for the first two quarters of 1995.  This 
is an increase in profits of $876,000, or $.19 per share.  Management 
attributes this increase in profitability to several factors.  During 
the last quarter of 1995 and the first two quarters of 1996,  DTI 
significantly increased its revenues from service contracts, and 
achieved significant profits therefrom.  In addition, gross margins on 
certain product sales have increased.
