NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE A
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 1996, and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 30,
1996 and 1995. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full fiscal year.
The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report to Stockholders
for the year ended January 31, 1996.
NOTE B - Acquisition
On October 9, 1995, the registrant purchased the assets of the software
development business of Payne & Associates for a total purchase price of
$352,721 composed of cash in the amount of $222,971, 75,000 shares of
convertible preferred stock of the registrant with a value of $84,750, and a
payable to seller of $45,000. The total purchase price was determined through
arms-length negotiations. The registrant used a short term bank line of credit
for the cash payment. In addition, the registrant will pay 40% of the annual
pre-tax profit derived from the operation of the business for a period of 5
years from the date of close. The assets purchased include customer base,
equipment, trade names and trademarks and the software products of Payne &
Associates. The equipment purchased includes computers (various servers and
networks), copiers, facsimile machines, office furniture and fixtures, and
printers, which will continue to be used by the registrant in the operation of
the business. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business
combination, and the results of operations since the date of acquisition are
included in the statements of operations.
The following reflects the Company's results of operations for the three months
ended April 30, 1995 on a pro forma basis assuming the purchase had occurred on
February 1, 1995.
Three Months Ended April 30,
1995
----
Revenue $1,226,438
Net Loss $ (20,479)
Net Loss Per Share $ (.01)
Note C - Intangible Assets

namesand excess of purchase price over assets acquired. The intangible assets
are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of from 3 to 7 years.
NOTE D - Long Term Debt

Bank Notes $388,844
Capital Leases 245,002
City of St. Paul 42,800
--------
676,646
Less: Current Portion (405,102)
--------

========

certificate of deposit.
NOTE E - Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash equivalents ($350,797 and $390,810 at April 30, 1996 and January
31, 1996, respectively) consist of cash and highly liquid investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less.
NOTE F - Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected
to reverse, and (b) operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance has been
recorded, but not booked, for the effect of net operating loss carryforwards
aggregating approximately $5,300,000 at both April 30, 1996 and January 31,
1996.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations- Three Months Ended April 30, 1996
Revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 increased 19.9 percent to $
1,272,521 compared to the same period the prior year and 4.6 percent compared to
the previous quarter. The revenue increases were due to higher sales in the
Publications, Software Services and Transportation product lines.
No customer represented ten percent or more of the Company's revenues.
Marketing efforts in Publications and Transportation were increased during the
period in response to a more volatile petroleum market place resulting in
increased sales. In the Software Services area, the release and introduction of
two new software products resulted in several new license agreements and
programming projects.
Beta testing continued on the new client server database system as planned. Back
loading of the historical data bases began in the first quarter and is expected
to be complete by the end of the second quarter. A number of customers have been
accessing their daily files through the new communications portion of the
network application. A Graphic User Interface that will facilitate ease of use
should be completed early in the third quarter.
Gross Margin for the quarter was 56.4 percent compared to 40.4 percent for the
same period a year ago. The increases in gross margin are a result of increased
sales of Transportation products and software licenses.
Product expenses for the period decreased 12.2 percent from the same period last
year due to the assignment of the TranscommNet operation to a third party and
the implementation of additional cost control measures.
General and Administrative costs for the first quarter were 19.7 percent higher
than a year ago due to an increase in the reserve for bad debt and earned
incentives. Increases in the reserve for bad debt was a result of increased
sales and anticipated higher accounts receivable balance in the Software
Services group.
Sales and Marketing expenses increased 66.2 percent for the first quarter
compared to last year. The addition of the Software Services group and higher
advertising expenses account for the majority of the increase.
Interest income, net of expenses, decreased $6,970 compared to last year. This
was due primarily to lower cash balance and higher debt.
As a result of the above, first quarter net income was $100,914 compared to
$10,573 for the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalent balances totaled $ 350,797, and the
Company had a current ratio of 1.4 to 1. The Company generated approximately $
52,000 in cash from the operation of the business through the first three
months. The Company believes that its current cash balance and projected sales
volume should provide adequate capital to fund its planned level of operations
for the remainder of fiscal 1997. Completion of the new database platform,
hardware and software, may require additional capital which would come from bank
borrowing and/or equipment leasing.
Revenue growth for the year is projected to be approximately 20 percent with net
income in the range of 6 to 8 percent of revenue. These projections are based on
historical gross margins for the various revenue streams, the continued
acceptance of the Company's "Contract Average Price" as the pricing benchmark in
the trucking industry, the ability of several third party software marketing
firms to meet their stated sales objectives, the acceptance of site-specific
retail prices and stability in the wholesale pricing market. Outside the product
area, changes in governmental regulations in the petroleum industry that would
adversely effect their need for information and changes in the competitive
environment will influence the Company's ability to achieve its forecasts.
Forecasts and projections presented here are intended to be forward looking,
involve risks and uncertainties and should be considered in conjunction with the
information above.
