             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1997


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for  complete  financial  statements.  For  further  information,  refer  to the
consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.

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  March 31,  1997 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

On September 30, 1996 the Company  acquired all of the outstanding  common stock
of Teklicon,  Inc.  ("Teklicon") in exchange for 415,000 shares of common stock.
The  acquisition  was accounted for as a pooling of interests and,  accordingly,
the Company's  financial  statements have been restated for all periods prior to
the merger to include the financial  position,  results of operations,  and cash
flows of Teklicon. The accompanying  consolidated statements of operations,  and
cash flows for the three month period  ending March 31, 1996 have been  restated
to reflect the acquisition of Teklicon.

2. OPTION GRANTS

On March 25, 1997,  the Board of  Directors  approved the issuance of options to
purchase  300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to key employees.  The exercise
prices of the shares  granted  range from $6.00 to $9.50 per share,  at or above
the  estimated  fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock at the date
of grant, and the options vest ratably over a three year period.

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share", which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
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.  The impact of
Statement  128 on the  calculation  of earnings  per share is not expected to be
material.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997,  increased  37.0%,  to $9.5
million  compared to the same period in 1996.  This  increase is  primarily  the
result of revenues  from visual  communication  services  growing  96.6% to $4.7
million  during the quarter,  attributable  to three  factors:  a resumption  of
casework  following the December 1996, holiday hiatus; a historically high level
of active trials during the period; and, the particular success of an integrated
approach to the marketing of the Company's services.  Trial consulting increased
5.1% during the quarter,  due to continued  demand for these services during the
period;  engineering  revenues  grew 5.6%,  attributable  to increased  sales by
Teklicon, while other engineering services were generally flat compared to 1996.

Direct costs, as a percentage of revenue, were approximately the same during the
first  quarter of 1997 and 1996, as a result of managing the mix of internal and
external  resources  to meet the demands for the  Company's  services.  Selling,
general and  administrative  expenses  decreased  as a percent of revenue as the
fixed and  semi-variable  costs  continued to benefit  from larger  increases in
revenues.  Interest expense decreased in the quarter due to no usage on the line
of credit  during  1997;  borrowings  under the line of credit  during 1996 were
repaid from funds  received from the sale of Common Stock in May,  1996.  Unused
funds from such sale have been invested to increase  interest income  subsequent
to May, 1996.

Cash flow provided by operations  during the quarter,  were offset by additional
investments  in office  facilities  and computer  equipment.  These  investments
assist the  Company in  providing  enhanced  services  to its  clients.  The net
decrease in cash was funded by the  remaining  balance of the net proceeds  from
the sale of the Company's stock in May, 1996. Such balance,  approximately  $5.7
million,  will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes,
including possible acquisitions.
