              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               -------------------

1.       Basis of Presentation:
         ----------------------
         These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K dated March 28, 1996, as
         amended, and the historical consolidated financial statements and
         related notes included therein. In the opinion of management, the
         accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all
         adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary to
         present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results
         of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and
         footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared
         in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been
         condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission
         rules and regulations. Quarterly operating results are not necessarily
         indicative of the results which would be expected for the full year.

2.       Recently Issued Pronouncements
         ------------------------------
         In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation". The
         Statement allows companies to measure compensation costs in connection
         with employee stock compensated plans using a fair-value based method
         or to continue to use an intrinsic-value based method, which generally
         does not result in compensation cost. The Company currently plans to
         continue using the intrinsic-value based method as set forth in
         Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting For Stock Issued
         to Employee's".

         On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121,
         "Accounting For The Impairment of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived
         Assets to Be Disposed Of", which was issued by the FASB in March 1996.
         This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
         intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment
         whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
         amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There was no effect upon
         adoption to the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash
         flows or financial position.

3.       Line-of-credit Agreement
         ------------------------
         Effective February 13, 1996, the Company entered into a line-of-credit
         agreement for $1.0 million collateralized by the Company's assets,
         bearing interest at the banks prime rate plus 1%. There is no
         expiration set for the agreement; however, it is cancelable in writing
         by either parties at any time. There have been no borrowings under this
         agreement.

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

                Three Months Ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
                        Three Months Ended March 31, 1995
                                ----------------

REVENUES
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's total revenues
increased 10% to $7.3 million versus $6.6 million for the comparable period in
1995.

Revenues from database subscriptions and software increased 8% to $6.6 million
in the first quarter of 1996 from $6.1 million during the same period of 1995.
This revenue growth was primarily attributable to an increase in academic sales
in North America and overseas.

Maintenance revenues increased 41% to $0.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 from $0.5 million for the same period in 1995. The increase in
maintenance revenues is directly attributable to the increase in network sales
over the last year, which have mandatory maintenance charges of 17% of the first
year's software fees, partially offset by the decrease in hardware maintenance
fees resulting from decreased hardware sales.

COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues increased 22% to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 1996 from
$2.0 million for the same period in 1995. As a percent of revenues, total cost
of revenues increased to 33% for the first quarter of 1996 from 30% for the
comparable period in 1995.

The cost of database subscriptions and software as a percentage of corresponding
revenues increased to 36% in the first quarter of 1996 from 31% in the first
quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily due to an increase in royalty
expense (due to sales of database subscriptions paying higher royalties to their
providers).

The cost of maintenance revenues represented 7% and 13% of maintenance revenues
in the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively, and primarily represented
hardware replacement.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared
with $4.6 million for the same period in 1995, representing 67% of revenues for
the first quarter of 1996 and 70% for the first quarter 1995.

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

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES
Sales and marketing expenses increased 35% to $1.8 million during the first
quarter of 1996 from $1.3 million for the same period in 1995. As a percentage
of revenues, sales and marketing expenses increased to 25% during the first
quarter of 1996 from 20% during the comparable quarter in 1995. This percentage
increase is primarily attributable to an increased sales presence in North
American academic markets in anticipation of future sales growth and in several
markets outside North America, in particular, Europe and the Pacific Rim.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Product development expenses decreased 8% to $1.4 million during the first
quarter of 1996 from $1.5 million during the same period in 1995. As a
percentage of total revenues, product development expenses decreased to 19% for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 from 22% for the same period in 1995. The
decrease in product development expenses is related to the shut down of our
Albany production facility and decreased costs associated with the company's
move to Salt Lake City in 1995 offset by increases to full-text development
costs.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses increased 3% to $1.32 million in the first
quarter of 1996 from $1.29 million during the same period in 1995. As a
percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to
18% in the first quarter of 1996 from 20% in the comparable period of 1995. The
percent decrease is primarily attributable to the ability of the Company to
increase revenues through new sales and database subscription renewals while
controlling the growth of general expenses.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded a tax provision of $157,000 for the first quarter of 1996
as compared to $224,000 for the same period in 1995. This represents a 40%
effective tax rate for both 1996 and 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$697,000 and working capital of $6.1 million. Operating activities provided the
Company with $362,000 in cash during the first three months of 1996 as compared
to $252,000 during the same period in 1995. The Company's days revenue in
accounts receivable, which typically ranges from 80-100 days, is expected to
continue and is not expected to significantly impact the Company's liquidity.

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


The Company's investing activities used cash of $1.5 million during the first
three months of 1996, compared to providing cash of $423,000 during the same
period in 1995. The primary use of cash in 1996 was the purchase of $6.2 million
of short term investments less $5.1 million of redemptions. During the first
quarter of 1995, the primary source of cash was the redemption of $4.0 million
of short term investments less $3.0 million of purchases. The Company's ongoing
strategy is to invest excess cash in short-term investments.

The Company's financing activities provided $34,000 from the exercise of stock
options for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $10,000 used in
the same period for 1995 related to a distribution to the Company's S
Corporation stockholder. Effective February 13, 1996, the Company entered into a
line-of-credit agreement for $1.0 million collateralized by the Company's
assets, bearing interest at the banks prime rate plus 1%. There is no expiration
set for the agreement, however, it is cancelable in writing by both parties at
any time. There have been no borrowings under this agreement.

The Company has no major current capital investment commitments and believes
that its available cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to
finance its planned operations and capital requirements for the foreseeable
future. The Company anticipates capital expenditures through the year to
continue at the current rate.
