                         ESQUIRE COMMUNICATIONS LTD. AND
                      M&M REPORTING REFERRAL SERVICE, INC.

                    PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                   (UNAUDITED)




BASIS OF COMBINATION-PROFORMA

          The accompanying pro forma combined statement of operations have been
derived from Esquire Communications Ltd's ("ESQ.COM") statements of operations
for year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine-month period ended September 30,
1996. Adjustments have been made to such information to give effect to the
following transactions and events as if each had occurred as of the beginning of
the period covered by these pro forma combined statements of operations:

A.        ESQ.COM's acquisition of M&M Reporting Referral Service, Inc.("M&M")
          on October 28, 1996.

B.        ESQ.COM's private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
          which closed on October 23, 1996.

C.        ESQ.COM's purchase in November 1996, of 433,500 shares of its
          outstanding common stock.

          The accompanying unaudited proforma combined balance sheet gives
effect to the above transactions as if all of such events occurred on September
30, 1996.

          The pro forma combined statements of operations and pro forma combined
balance sheet have been adjusted on a proforma basis for the above transactions
and assumptions (pro forma adjustments) discussed in the accompanying notes.

          The accompanying pro forma financial information does not purport to
represent what ESQ.COM's results of operations or financial condition would have
been had such transactions in fact occurred at beginning of the periods
presented or to project ESQ.COM's results of operations or financial position in
or for any future periods.

          outstanding stock at $3.00 per share and assumed use of $2.2 million
          to reduce the debt level.

(2)       To record the acquisition of M&M, for an aggregate consideration,

          recorded value of$309,000 ), cash of $ 2.9 million and subordinated
          promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $2.7 million.
          Approximately $ 5.4 million of such preliminary purchase price have
