      MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Results of Operations
_____________________

     Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 of
$1,574,225 and $3,336,845, respectively represented a decrease of 46%
and 42%, respectively, as compared to revenues of $2,909,005 and
5,800,264, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995.

     As discussed below, effective January 1, 1996, all of the
outstanding stock of the Company s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary
("PC Canada")  was sold.  Included in the revenues for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995 was $920,276 and $1,628,135,
respectively of revenues from PC Canada. In addition, Management has
made the decision to close the Company s wholly-owned Israeli
subsidiary ("PC Israel") as discussed below.  Revenues  of PC Israel
decreased by $176,488 and $355,326 during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three and six months ended June
30, 1995. Further, as discussed below, effective April 1, 1996,
the Company sold its San Francisco, California and Boise, Idaho
operations.   Revenues attributable to the San Francisco operations
decreased by $228,501 and $221,886, respectively for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996.  The sale of the Company s Canadian, San
Francisco and Boise operations along with the closing of PC Israel
accounted for 90% of the decreased revenues. Total revenues for the
Company s remaining New York location showed no significant changes
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1995.

     During the year ended December 31,1994 and throughout 1995  the
Company broadened and augmented its personal computer support
alternatives by introducing new service/product lines designed to
enhance its established Instructor-led training ("ILT") business.
Contract consulting is responsible for providing personal computer
personnel, on a temporary basis, to the Company s client base.
Consulting revenues for the remaining New York location grew from
$512,674 and $940,887 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995, respectively to $754,968 and $1,504,588, respectively for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, an
increase of 47% and 60%, respectively.  The Company has been placing
more emphasis on the growth of the Consulting Services Division.  In
addition, the Company develops and offers computer-based training
("CBT") programs to augment and supplement its live training classes. 
However, the CBT programs continue to result in operating losses and
the Company ceased efforts to develop new CBT products.   In
September, 1995, the Company began to ship its CBT products through
the retail channel in addition to selling to corporate clients. All
products sold to retailers are returnable if not resold to end-users. 
Since the Company has no historical basis of estimating such returns,
it recognizes revenues only when such resales occur.  The Company only
recognized revenues of $21,000 during the six month ended June 30, 1996
from such retail sales.  Retail sales have also been lower than
expectation and the Company has also limited its efforts within the
Retail market.  The Company does not have any obligations to the
end-user once the product is sold.
  
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company
continued to experience declining ILT revenues.  In the New York
region  ILT revenues decreased by approximately 14% and 25%,
respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as
compared to the comparable periods in 1995.  Management attributes
the declining ILT revenue to the fact that software vendors have not
released many new versions of existing software.  The Company had
anticipated that the release of a new operating system entitled
Windows 95 would have a positive impact on ILT revenues. Although
released in August 1995, many clients are continuing to delay
such conversions and projects pending market place experiences with
Windows 95.  In addition, the contemplated release in August 1996 of
Windows NT, a more advanced network operating system, has caused
organizations to re-evaluate desktop application strategies and back
office applications together and thus has  further delayed
application or conversion projects. Increased competition was also a
factor in the decreased ILT revenues.

     The Company is aggressively pursuing a move into the  higher end
training market as many organizations require certification training
for Microsoft and Lotus back office applications and operating systems
which historically has had higher margins.  This higher technical
training environment has a better synergy with the Company s growing
consulting business.  In 1995, the Company was awarded Lotus
Authorized Education Center status  and received  Microsoft Authorized
Technical Education Center status during the six months ended June 30,
1996.

     The Company's cost of revenues for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 was 64% and 69%, respectively of revenues as compared to
53%  of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. The
Company s new service/product lines do not follow the same trends in
cost of revenues as the ILT business.  Cost of revenues for contract
consulting was 63% of revenues and cost of revenues (including
approximately $100,000 in design costs for the retail product) for CBT
was greater than revenues for the 1996 period.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996 of $845,761 and $1,880,465,
respectively,  showed a significant decrease as compared to selling,
general and administrative expenses of $1,745,945 and $3,324,044,
respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.
Included in the net reduction was approximately $763,000 and
$1,071,441, respectively,  for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996,  pertaining to the sale of PC Canada, and the San
Francisco operations as well as the shut down of PC Israel. 
Management has devoted substantial efforts to an aggressive cost
containment plan.  The Company reduced selling, general and
administrative expenses for its remaining United States operations by
51% and 45%, respectively,  for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Research and development expenses were $0 and $58,214,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as
compared to $194,389 and $401,582, respectively, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995 due to a determination by the Company to
eliminate  its CBT research and development operations.

     The Company had a net loss of $237,731 and $775,124,
respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively, as compared to a net loss of $596,470 and $1,046,558,
respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. The
reduction of the loss is attributable primarily to managements'
aggressive cost containment plan and the elimination of the Company's
CBT research and development expenses, offset by the $215,110 gain on
the sale of PC Canada and San Francisco operations.  Management
believes that the decreasing ILT revenues will continue throughout
1996. However the Company anticipates continued growth of CSD
revenues.  The Company decided to cease operations of PC Israel
effective March 31, 1996 and substantially eliminate its CBT research
and development program; however, it intends to continue to market CBT
software.

     As discussed below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources," (i)
effective January 1, 1996, the Company sold all of the outstanding
stock of PC Canada and (ii) effective April 1, 1996, the Company sold
its San Francisco, California and Boise, Idaho operations.
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________

     The Company s working capital deficiency increased to $1,764,824
at June 30, 1996 as compared to $828,562 at December 31, 1995. The
increase was due primarily to the operating losses experienced during
the six months ended June 30, 1996, offset by the sale of PC Canada
as described above.

     The Company is a party to a financing agreement by which it
finances its trade receivables. The agreement is scheduled to expire
on April 30, 1997. The balance outstanding under the agreement, which
is limited to 75% of eligible receivables, is reported as a current
liability under "Loans Payable - Others."

     The Company used $347,522 in operating activities during the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, primarily due to its net
loss of $775,124 during such period. Such loss was offset by increased
accounts payable of $341,866 during such period as well as
depreciation and amortization expenses of $81,466.  During the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996,  the Company s investing
activities provided cash in the amount of $610,704 as a result of the
sale of PC Canada and the San Fransico operations.  The Company s
financing activities during such period used cash in the amount of
$381,310 primarily due to the repayment of loans from related parties 
of $250,000. 
  
     Effective December 5, 1995, the Company borrowed $500,000 from
certain stockholders of the Company for working capital purposes.  The
notes evidencing the loans provide for interest at the rate of 10% per
annum and the payment of the principal amount one year from the date
of issuance.

     Effective January 1, 1996, all of the outstanding stock of PC
Canada was sold to a private company for net proceeds of  $718,000,
including the license of certain computer software. Of such amount,
$250,000 was used to repay a portion of  the December 1995 loans
described above.  Pursuant to the terms of the notes, as a result of
the sale of PC Canada, the remaining balance of the loans is due and
payable.

     Effective April 1, 1996, the Company sold the operating assets of
its San Francisco, California training office and Boise, Idaho
business location for an aggregate cash purchase price of $42,000.  In
addition, the purchaser agreed to assume certain obligations and
liabilities of the Company.

     As indicated above, the Company has experienced continuing net
losses and negative cash flows from operations and has a working
capital deficiency and stockholders deficit.  The Company s continuing
existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain
profitable operations.    The Company is currently working under a
plan to reduce overhead, and return to profitability.  As indicated
above, the Company sold its Canadian subsidiary in January 1996, shut
down the Israeli- based research and development center in March 1996,
and sold the San Francisco branch in April 1996 in order to raise
needed cash and reduce expenses.  In addition, the Company has
implemented a substantial cost cutting program.  The Company has
currently reduced expenses by approximately $135,000 a month by
eliminating three Vice President positions, reduced the number of CBT
design staff, reduced administrative payroll obligations and sublet
office space.  The Company is also experiencing growth in its
Consulting Service Division and has begun to experience reduced losses
in its ILT operations.

     The Company is also presently exploring all other possible
opportunities in order to reduce the working capital deficiency,
including expanding its marketing efforts,  negotiating with vendors
and debt holders and seeking additional financing.  No assurances can
be given that any such efforts will be successful.  Based upon the
cost reduction plans outlined above,  the Company believes that it
will be able to generate sufficient cash to support its operations
through the remainder of 1996.  Such belief is, however, a
forward-looking statement and, due to the stiff competition faced by
the Company from entities which provide computer training and
consulting services, and market CBT products, as well as the uncertain
operating environment currently surrounding personal computers in
general no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful
in such regard.
