                   TRACK DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
                                 (unaudited)
                                      
1.   On  March  31, 1996, Track Data Corporation ("Track"), a principal
stockholder  of Global Market Information, Inc. ("Global"), merged into Global
and the name of Global was changed to Track Data Corporation (the "Company"). 
Pursuant  to the merger (the "Merger"), Global issued 12,000,000 shares of its
common  stock  in  exchange  for  all  of the outstanding stock of Track.  The
1,599,837  shares  of  Global  common stock owned by Track prior to the Merger
were cancelled.

     Global,  as  the  surviving  corporation,  assumed all of Track's assets,
liabilities  and  obligations.    Effective March 31, 1996, the Company issued
835,905  shares  of its common stock and transferred 74,281 shares of Innodata
Corporation  common  stock  to  a  Trust  to be held by a bank trustee for the
benefit  of  certain  key  employees  and  consultants  of  Track  to  satisfy
obligations  under  a  deferred  compensation  plan maintained by Track.  Upon
issuance  of  the  shares  to  the  Trust,  the  liability  for  the  deferred
compensation was satisfied.  These shares will be released to the participants
upon  termination  of  employment,  or  earlier  with approval of the Board of
Directors.

     Track  provided  "real-time"  financial  market  data,  financial  and
historical  databases  and  analytic  services through a sophisticated private
data network to the professional trading and investment community prior to the
Merger.    Track  also  provided  database  services  to  Global pursuant to a
facilities management agreement that was to expire in 2001.

     For  accounting  purposes  the  Merger  is  treated  as  a combination of
entities under common control similar to a pooling-of-interests.  Accordingly,
the financial statements for all current and prior periods include the results
of operations of Global and Track.

2.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated  financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal  recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of September 30, 1996, and the results of operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and of cash flows for the nine
months  ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995.  The results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results
that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

     These  financial  statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with the
financial  statements  and  notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995
included  in  the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated as of March 26,
1996.    The  accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements
are  the  same  as  those  described  in the December 31, 1995 Track financial
statements.

3.   On March 26, 1996, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, a dividend
in  the  amount of $2,088,698 was paid to Track's sole stockholder, who is the
Company's  Chairman  of  the Board, representing the undistributed earnings of
Track  as  an  S  corporation.    The  dividend was paid to the stockholder by
assigning amounts due from him or entities controlled by him.

4.   Effective  upon  the  Merger, deferred taxes which were previously
provided  at  state  and  local  rates  and  which  related to Track temporary
differences were recalculated based on the changed status to a C corporation. 
This  resulted  in  a  recognition  of  additional  deferred tax assets deemed
realizable  by  management of approximately $500,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996.

5.   On April 23, 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 479,400 
shares of the Company's common stock at $4.00 per share to employees ($3.75
market price at date of grant).  On July 16, 1996, the Board of Directors 
changed the option exercise price to $2.00 per share ($1.63 market price 
at date of change).  Further, the Company issued 62,400 shares of its common 
stock (60,000 shares to its president) to satisfy certain bonus payments for 
1995.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

     For the three months ended September 30, 1996 the Company's revenues were
$11,778,620, an increase of 4% over revenues for the similar period in 1995 of
$11,361,989.    The  increase  in  revenues  is  primarily  attributable to an
increase in the subscriber base for the Company's Dial/Data division.

     Direct  operating costs were $6,482,723 for the third quarter of 1996 and
$6,376,910 for the similar period in 1995, a decrease of 2%.  Direct operating
costs  as  a  percentage  of revenues was 55% in 1996 and 56% in 1995.  Direct
operating  costs  include  direct  payroll,  direct  telecommunication  costs,
computer  supplies,  depreciation  and  equipment  lease  expense  and  the
amortization of software development costs.

     Selling and administrative expenses were $4,887,464 and $6,155,139 in the
1996 and 1995 periods, respectively, a decrease of 21% in the 1996 period from
the  1995  period.  Selling  and  administrative  expenses  as a percentage of
revenues  was 41% in 1996 and 54% in 1995.  The dollar and percentage decrease
primarily  reflects  a  contribution  expense of approximately $600,000 in the
1995  period,  a reduction of approximately $200,000 in salary expense for the
Company's  Chairman  in 1996 as compared to the 1995 period, and the write off
of  approximately  $200,000  in Track Data (Japan) during the third quarter of
1995.

     The  Company  incurred  no  deferred  compensation expense in 1996, while
recognizing  an  expense  of  $125,491  in  1995.  These changes relate to the
Company's phantom stock plan which was discontinued as of March 31, 1996.  The
underlying  835,905  shares of the Company's common stock and 74,281 shares of
Innodata  Corporation common stock to which certain employees were vested have
been  placed  in  a  trust  for the benefit of the participants.  Accordingly,
future  changes  in  the  market  price  of  the respective stocks will not be
reflected as changes in deferred compensation expense.

     Interest  expense  decreased  to  $196,483 in the 1996 period compared to
$230,853 in 1995 due to decreased borrowings.

     There  was  no  other income in the three months ended September 30, 1996
and  $6,747  for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The income in 1995
resulted  principally  from gains from Innodata Corporation common stock given
as  charitable  contributions  in  1995.    The gain represents the difference
between  the carrying value of such securities and the market price at date of
disposition.

     As  a  result  of  the  above mentioned factors, the Company realized net
income of $10,977 in the 1996 period compared to a loss of $1,324,998 in 1995,
which  included  equity  in  net  loss of an affiliate of $115,973 in 1996 and
equity in net income of an affiliate of $113,222 in 1995.

NINE  MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

     For  the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the Company's revenues were
$35,173,529, an increase of 5% over revenues for the similar period in 1995 of
$33,629,978.    The  increase  in  revenues  is  primarily  attributable to an
increase in the subscriber base for the Company's Dial/Data division.

     Direct operating costs were $19,251,148 for the first nine months of 1996
and  $18,992,437  for  the  similar period in 1995, an increase of 1%.  Direct
operating costs as a percentage of revenues was 55%  in 1996 and 56% in 1995.

     Selling  and  administrative expenses were $14,982,603 and $16,955,247 in
the  1996 and 1995 periods, respectively, a decrease of 12% in the 1996 period
from  the 1995 period.  Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues  was 43% in 1996 and 50% in 1995.  The dollar and percentage decrease
primarily  reflects  a  contribution  expense of approximately $800,000 in the
1995  period,  a reduction of approximately $700,000 in salary expense for the
Company's  Chairman  in 1996 as compared to the 1995 period, and the write off
of  approximately  $200,000  in Track Data (Japan) during the third quarter of
1995.

     The  Company  incurred deferred compensation expense of $294,894 in 1996,
while  recognizing  a  reduction  in  such  expense of $43,086 in 1995.  These
changes  relate  to the Company's phantom stock plan which was discontinued as
of  March  31,  1996.    The underlying 835,905 shares of the Company's common
stock  and 74,281 shares of Innodata Corporation common stock to which certain
employees  were  vested  have  been  placed  in a trust for the benefit of the
participants.    Accordingly,  future  changes  in  the  market  price  of the
respective  stocks  will  not be reflected as changes in deferred compensation
expense.

     Interest  expense  increased  to  $638,997 in the 1996 period compared to
$593,669 in 1995 due to increased borrowings.

     The  Company  realized  net  income from operations of $5,887 in the 1996
period  compared  to  a loss from operations of $2,868,289 in 1995.   The loss
from  operations  in the 1995 period was due principally to the higher selling
and administrative expenses described above.

     Other  income  was  $288,418  and  $233,310  for  the  nine  months ended
September  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively, principally from gains in each
period  from  Innodata  Corporation  common stock placed in a trust to satisfy
obligations to employees in 1996 and for charitable contributions in 1995.  In
each  period  the gain represents the difference between the carrying value of
such securities and the market price at date of disposition.

     The  income  tax  benefit  in  the  1996 period of $279,058 is due to the
recognition of the anticipated realizable amount of tax benefits from a change
in tax status, effective upon the merger of Track at March 31, 1996, from an S
corporation,  for  which  the  majority  of taxes were paid by the former sole
stockholder, to a C corporation.

     As  a  result  of  the  above mentioned factors, the Company realized net
income  of  $549,972  in  the  1996 period compared to a loss of $1,878,768 in
1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 cash provided by
operating  activities  was  $3,098,600  and  $1,816,139,  respectively.    The
increase  was  due  principally  to profitable operations in 1996.  Cash flows
used in investing activities was $1,431,500 and $3,517,734 for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995, respectively.  Purchases of fixed assets
decreased by approximately $850,000 in 1996 compared to 1995.  The 1995 amount
also  includes  the  acquisition  of  the  All-Quotes  business.  Cash used in
financing  activities  was $3,189,539 and $1,314,402 for the nine months ended
September  30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase in 1996 is primarily
due to a repayment of bank loans.

     The Company has a line of credit with a bank.  The line is collateralized
by  the assets of the Company and is guaranteed by its principal stockholder. 
Interest is charged at 1.75% above the bank's prime rate and is due on demand.
 The  Company  may  borrow  up  to  80% of eligible accounts receivable and is
required  to maintain a compensating balance of 10% of the outstanding loans. 
The  Company  did  not  meet  this  requirement from time to time prior to the
Merger.  The line of credit is sufficient for the Company's cash requirements.
 There  are  no  major  capital  expenditures  anticipated  beyond  the normal
replacement  of  equipment and additional equipment to meet increased customer
demand.

     Prior  to  the Merger, Track paid a dividend to its sole stockholder, Mr.
Hertz,  of approximately $2,100,000, equivalent to the previously taxed income
to  Mr.  Hertz  as the sole stockholder of Track, a subchapter S corporation. 
The  dividend  was  paid  by  assigning  to  Mr. Hertz receivables from him or
entities  controlled  by  him.    Further,  Mr.  Hertz  has  agreed  to reduce
compensation  paid to him by the Company from approximately $1,500,000 in 1995
to $350,000 for each of 1996 and 1997.

INFLATION AND SEASONALITY

     To  date,  inflation  has  not  had a significant impact on the Company's
operations.  The Company's revenues are not affected by seasonality.
