                    TRACK DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 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
     financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
     recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
     of March 31, 1996, and the results of operations and of cash flows for the
     three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The results of operations for
     the three months ended March 31, 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





                                       6

<PAGE>   8
     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).  Further, the Company issued 62,400 shares
     of its common stock (60,000 shares to its president) to satisfy certain
     bonus payments for 1995.

                    TRACK DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The Company provides real-time financial market data, fundamental
research, charting and analytical services to both institutional and individual
investors. The Company also disseminates news and third party data base
information from more than 100 sources worldwide.   The Company's lead products
include MarkeTrack MX and MarkeTrack NT, Dial/Data, Track OnLine and InfoVest.
Its AIQ Systems division provides expert systems software, including artificial
intelligence products for market timing and stock selection.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

     For the three months ended March 31, 1996 the Company's revenues were
$11,768,294, an increase of 6% over revenues for the similar period in 1995 of
$11,081,133.  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 $6,669,614 for the first three months of 1996
and $6,304,219 for the similar period in 1995, an increase of 6%.  Direct
operating costs as a percentage of revenues was 57% in each period.  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 $4,891,420 and $5,720,396 in the
1996 and 1995 periods, respectively, a decrease of 14% in the 1996 period from
the 1995 period.  Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues was 42% in 1996 and 52% in 1995.  The dollar and percentage decrease
primarily reflects a contribution expense of approximately $200,000 in the 1995
period and a reduction of approximately $400,000 in salary expense for the
Company's Chairman in 1996 as compared to the 1995 period.

     The Company incurred deferred compensation expense of $294,894 in 1996,
while recognizing a reduction in such expense of $61,414 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 $222,708 in the 1996 period compared to
$170,724 in 1995 due to increased borrowings.





                                       8

<PAGE>   10
     The loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 of
$310,342 was due principally to the deferred compensation expense described
above.  The loss of $1,052,792 in the 1995 period was due principally to the
higher selling and administrative expenses described above.

     Other income was $288,418 and $129,626 for the three months ended March
31, 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 $411,058 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 $478,216 in the 1996 period compared to a loss of $529,124 in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 cash provided by
operating activities was $1,158,787 and $841,639, respectively.  Cash flows
used in investing activities was $139,855 and $3,040,948 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The 1995 amount included the
acquisition of the All-Quotes business and certain loans to related parties.
Cash used in financing activities was $1,226,425 and $508,001 for the three
months ended March 31, 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.
