                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                           

1. Basis of Presentation
    
    The financial statements of Infonautics, Inc. (the "Company") presented 
herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the 
rules and regulations of the Securities  and Exchange Commission for 
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures 
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that 
the disclosures in this Report are adequate to make the information presented 
not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in 
conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 
1995 and the notes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement 
on Form S-1 (No. 333-2428).

    The financial information in this Report reflects, in the opinion of 
management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present 
fairly the results for the interim period. Quarterly operating results may 
not be indicative of results which would be expected for the full year.

2. Private Placement and Initial Public Offering

    On February 26, 1996, the Company completed a private placement in which it
issued 1,201,086 shares of Class C Common Stock with proceeds to the Company of
approximately $12.9 million, which is net of approximately $0.8 million of
offering expenses.

    In May 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,250,000
shares of its Class A Common Stock at $14.00 per share. The proceeds to the
Company, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses were
approximately $28.5 million. 

    Concurrent with the closing of the initial public offering, all outstanding
shares of Class C Common Stock were converted into an equal number shares of
Class A Common Stock.

3. Shareholders' Equity

    In February 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the 
following, which were subsequently approved by the shareholders in April 
1996: (i) an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, changing 
the name of the Company from Infonautics Corporation to Infonautics, Inc.; 
(ii) an increase in the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock 
to 25,000,000; (iii) a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock dividend; 
(iv) a 500,000 increase in the number of shares of Class A common Stock that 
may be issued under the 1994 Omnibus Stock Option Plan and (v) the adoption 
of the 1996 Equity Compensation Plan, which provides for the issuance of a 
maximum of 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock  pursuant to grants of 
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or performance 
units.

4. Net Loss Per Common Equivalent

    The net loss per common equivalent share is computed based upon the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 
Topic 4-D, all common shares and common equivalent shares issued by the 
Company during the twelve-month period prior to the Company's initial public 
offering have been included in the calculation as if they were outstanding, 
using the treasury stock method, for all periods presented, at the initial 
public offering price of $14.00 per share.

Item 2.             Management's Discussion and Analysis
              of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


    This Report contains, in addition to historical information, forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  These forward looking
statements include statements regarding the Company's growth and expansion plans
and the sufficiency of the Company's liquidity and capital. Such statements are
based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of
uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk
Factors" in the Company's Prospectus dated April 29, 1996, issued in connection
with the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-2428).



Results of Operations

   Revenues

    Revenue increased from $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 
to $190,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Substantially all 
revenue is attributable to subscription and hourly usage fees of the Homework 
Helper service on Prodigy that was introduced by the Company during the first 
quarter of 1995. The increase in Homework Helper revenues is due to an 
expansion of the Company's subscriber base resulting from Prodigy's marketing 
of the service to its existing subscriber base since March 1995.

    As of March 31, 1996, the Company has recorded deferred revenue of 
$656,000, compared to $500,000 at December 31, 1995.  No deferred revenue had 
been recorded as of March 31, 1995.  Deferred revenue is primarily related to 
two agreements; a marketing agreement and an agreement to license the 
Company's core technology. 

   Costs and Expenses

    Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of royalties and
license fees paid to providers of content, hardware and software, as well as
communication costs associated with the delivery of the online services. Cost of
revenues were $98,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
$13,000 for the same period in 1995.


    Customer Support. Customer support expenses consist primarily of costs
associated with the staffing of professionals responsible for assisting users
with technical and product issues and monitoring customer feedback. Customer
support expenses were $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as
compared to $18,000 for the same period in 1995. This increase primarily
reflects costs incurred to increase the size of the support staff from two
employees at March 31, 1995 to six employees at March 31, 1996 to support an
increased number of users.  


                                          8

<PAGE>

    Development. Development expenses consist primarily of costs associated
with the design, programming, testing, documentation and support of the
Company's new and existing software and services. Development expenses were
$1,355,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $539,000
for the same period in 1995. This increase is largely due to the growth of the
development staff in order to support increased development activities, most
importantly, completion of the Company's Internet service, Electric Library. The
staff grew from nine employees at March 31, 1995 to 21 employees as of March 31,
1996. The Company anticipates further  increasing staff and making significant
expenditures to develop new and enhanced services and products.


    Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of costs
related to compensation, attendance at conferences and trade shows,
advertising, promotion and other marketing programs. Sales and marketing
expenses were $920,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
$185,000 for the same period in 1995. This increase was a result of the
continued efforts to increase sales and expand distribution channels.
Promotional marketing programs increased, mainly  to support the introduction of
Electric Library, and the number of sales and marketing personnel grew. The
staff increased from two employees at March 31,1995 to 11 employees as of March
31, 1996. The Company anticipates further increasing the size of its sales and
marketing staff and expects to incur significant increased expenditures for
promotional and advertising activities.


    General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of expenses for administration, office operations, finance and general
management activities, including legal, accounting and other professional fees.
General and administrative expenses were $772,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to $276,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increases in general  and administrative expense were due to the expansion of
internal staffing and increase in professional service fees to support the
Company's expanded operations. The Company anticipates that general and
administrative expenses will continue to increase as the Company hires
additional personnel and incurs additional costs related to being a public
company, such as expenses related to directors' and officers' insurance,
investor relations programs and increased professional fees.


   Interest income (expense), net

    Interest income (expense), net consists of interest earned on cash and cash
equivalents, offset by interest expense on equipment financing, debt and a loan
from an officer. Interest income (expense), net increased to $8,000 from
$(7,000), for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
During the first quarter of 1996, the Company paid off its loan from officer and
debt.  Also in the first quarter, $12.9 million of net proceeds received by the
Company from its private placement of Class C Common Stock that was completed in
the first quarter were invested in money market accounts. With these proceeds,
and the proceeds from the initial public offering which the Company received on
May 3, 1996,  the Company expects to see an increase in interest income over
prior periods.

   Provision for Income Taxes


    The Company has no provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 1996
and 1995 since it incurred net losses.


   Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company's cash and cash equivalent balance was $10,974,000 at March 31,
1996, as compared to $962,000 at December 31, 1995. Net cash used in operations
was $(2,832,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
$(831,000) used for operations for the same period in 1995.  The increase in net
cash used in operations was primarily attributable to the increased net loss.

    Net cash used in investing activities was $159,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $89,000 for the same period in 1995.
Investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of property and
equipment.

    Net cash provided by financing activities was  $13,003,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $329,000 for the same period in
1995. This increase resulted from the sale, in February 1996, of Class C Common
Stock in a private placement which generated proceeds of $12.9 million, net of
offering expenses.

    The Company completed an initial public offering in May 1996 and received
proceeds totaling $29,250,000. The Company estimates that it has incurred
approximately $700,000 in initial public offering expenses that will be paid out
of these proceeds.

    Assuming that there is no significant change in the Company's business, the
Company believes that cash-flow from operations together with existing cash
balances and proceeds from the initial public offering will be sufficient to
meet its working capital requirements for at  least the next twelve months.
