1. Formation and Business of The Company:

Datalink Systems Corporation (formerly Lord Abbott, Inc., a publicly traded
shell corporation) (the Company), is engaged in research and development and
marketing of wireless communication technologies. The Company s primary
activities to date have been acquiring and developing certain wireless
technologies, marketing, recruiting personnel and obtaining capital. 

The Company is a development stage organization and accordingly its principal
functions have been completion of research and development activities, and
establishment of market presence.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
   
Comparative consolidated financial statement information for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 has been restated for certain errors and omissions as a result
of the annual financial statement process as of March 31, 1997 on Form 10-KSB.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of Management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended March 31, 1998.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31,
1997.
    
3.   Sales of Technology

Effective May, 1997, Datalink completed a transaction with a Canadian
corporation (the Buyer) selling the Company's technology for cash and a note.
At closing for settlement Datalink received approximately $1,304,000, and a
note for approximate1y $10,100,000. The note is due June 30, 2007 and bears
interest at 6% per annum.  The note is collateralized by the technology.

Datalink and the Buyer entered into a "Management and Marketing Agreement"
dated May, 1997 (the Agreement). The Agreement expires May, 2002, and may be
extended for two additional two year terms. The extension of the term will be
automatic and Datalink or the Buyer during any extension can terminate the
agreement with 90 days notice to the other party. The significant terms of the
agreement are as follows:

   *   Datalink will receive an annual fee of 15% of "Direct Cost Marketing,
Distributing and Selling" technology related services, as defined in the
Agreement,
                               -7-
<PAGE>
   *   Datalink receives an exclusive worldwide right to use, modify and
sub-license the source code for the technology, including application
software,
intellectual property and documentation,

   *   Datalink has first right of resale in the event the Buyer desires to
transfer all or part of the application software,

   *   The Buyer will receive, commencing September 30, 1997, an annual
"owners fee" of $475,000, the owners fee to be applied as follows: pay accrued
interest and the excess., if any; a) 55% of the remaining fee applied to the
note balance, and b) 45% of the remaining fee paid in cash to the Buyer until
the note is paid in full, Buyer will receive the "net revenue less owners fee
payable," as defined in the Agreement, related to the technology sold to be
applied as follow: a) 55% of the net revenue applied to the note balance, and
b) 45% of the net revenue paid in cash to the Buyer until the note is paid in
full, and

   *   After the note is paid, the "net revenue," as defined in the Agreement,
related to the technology sold to be applied as follows; 45% of the net
revenue paid in cash to the Buyer, and 55% retained by the Company.

The cash received by Datalink has been accounted for under the provisions of
the "Emerging Issues Task Force, 88- 18: Sale of Future Revenues." It is
expected that the owners fees and net revenue allocated to the buyer will not
be sufficient to service the note receivable principle and interest payments
due Datalink and as such the note has not been recorded.
   
4.  Earnings Per Share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
Number 128 (SFAS 128) "Earnings Per Share," which the Company is required to
adopt for its fiscal year ending March 31, 1998.  At that time, the Company
will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per
share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new requirements for
calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options
will be excluded.  Application of SFAS 128 is expected to have no impact on
primary earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  A calculation
of diluted earnings per share will also be required; however, this is not
expected to differ materially from the Company's reported primary earnings per
share.
    
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   
The following discussion contains predictions, estimates and other
forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. 
While
this outlook represents the Company's current judgment in the future direction
of the business, such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to
differ materially from any future performance suggested herein. Risk factors
related to the Company have been discussed in the Form 10-KSB for the year
ended March 31, 1997.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which
may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NET SALES
                                      Q1 '98       Q1 '97     Change
                                      -------    --------    --------
     Net sales                        $149,453    $22,908    $126,545

Net sales increased due to the Company realizing revenue from sales of
services to customers during the quarter for its QuoteXpress product.   In the
first quarter of fiscal 1997, sales of services were just commencing.

GROSS PROFIT  
                                      Q1 '98       Q1 '97    Change
                                      -------     --------   -------
     Gross profit                     $49,756      $5,584    $44,172
     Percentage of net sales            34%         25%

Gross profit as well as the gross profit percentage increased due to the 
Company experiencing economies of scale.  In Q1'97, the Company was
establishing an infrastructure to commence sales of services to customers.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT               Q1 '98      Q1 '97     Change
                                      --------    --------    -------
     Research and development         $147,411     $78,901    $68,510
     Percentage of net sales             99%        345%

Research and Development expenses increased in absolute dollars, primarily due
to increases in personnel expenses.  Because of increased revenue, the
expenses as a percentage of sales decreased.  The Company expects to continue
investing significantly in research and product development; however, dollars
and percentages may vary from period to period.

SELLING AND MARKETING                  Q1 '96       Q1 '95     Change
                                      --------     -------    -------- 
     Selling and marketing            $386,948     $60,574    $326,374
     Percentage of net sales            259%        265%

Selling and marketing expenses increased in absolute dollars due to increased
advertising expenditures, consultants and salaries. As the Company s products
have become ready for sale, the costs to market them have increased
accordingly. On a percentage basis the amount of expenses decreased due to the
sales dollars increasing.  

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE            Q1 '98       Q1 '97     Change
                                     --------    ----------  ---------
     General and administrative      $478,527    $1,170,463  $(691,935)
     Percentage of net sales           321%        5,110%

General and administrative expenses for the quarter decreased compared to the
first quarter of 1997, largely due to the fact that in Q1, 1997 there were a
number of equity related transactions which resulted in the recognition of
general and administrative expenses. In the current Q1, 1998 there were less
expenses.

TECHNOLOGY OWNERS FEES              Q1 '98       Q1 '97     Change
                                   --------      ------   ---------
   Shalcor Owner's Fees            $273,750           0    $273,750

   Percentage of net sales            263%     

The Company has ontered into the sales of technology. The income related to
these sales is being recognized ratably over the payment period. These
agreements were not in existance in Q1 1997.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)               Q1 '98       Q1 '97     Change
                                     -------     --------    -------
     Other income (expense)          $479,824    $(61,173)   $540,997
     Percentage of sales                321%       (409)%

Other income includes interest income from notes receivable related to the
sales of technology (see above discussion). This agreement was not in
existence in Q1 1997.

NET LOSS                              Q1 '98       Q1 '97     Change
                                     --------    ----------  ---------
     Net loss                        $875,807    $1,306,465  $(430,658)
     Percentage of net sales           586%        5,703%

Net losses decreased due to a decrease in the costs of equity related
transactions which were charged to general and administrative expenses in Q1
1997, but which were not charged in Q1 1998.

In addition, a wide variety of factors influence the Company's quarterly and
annual operating results, any of which could materially affect revenues and
profitability.  These include, among others, business factors such as
increases in competition and related pricing pressure, changes in distribution
channels, variations in product mix, and potential problems and delays in new
product development and introduction; as well as national economic and other
factors, such as interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1997, the Company had $1,959,644 in working capital compared to
$1,467,334 at March 31, 1997.  The increase was due primarily to the receipt
of $1,303,565 in connection with the sale of certain technology, which was
offset by the $875,807 loss for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

For the three months ended June 30, 1997, cash used in operating activities
totaled approximately $700,000, consisting primarily of increases in sales and
marketing expenses as well as general and administrative expenses necessary in
establishing the Company.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company entered into a letter of
intent with an investment banking firm for a private offering of convertible
preferred stock.  The offering will be a best efforts offering with a $4 
million minimum and an $8 million maximum.  There is no assurance that the
offering will be completed.
                               -10-
<PAGE>

The Company believes that existing cash balances together with the additional
equity investment will be sufficient to finance the Company's anticipated
working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements for at least
the next twelve months.
