ITEM  2.  ACQUISITION  AND  DISPOSITION  OF  ASSETS.
On  November  7,  1997, Barry Hertz, Chairman and principal stockholder of the
Registrant  ("TDC"), transferred his 100% ownership in Newsware, Inc. ("NW" or
"Newsware")  to  the  Registrant  for  no  consideration.    NW owed Mr. Hertz
approximately  $1,100,000,  which  was  contributed  to  capital prior to this
transaction,  and  NW  owed  the  Registrant  approximately  $900,000,  net of
reserves,  at  the  time of this transaction. NW is a provider of on-line news
information services. For accounting purposes, the transaction will be treated
as  a  combination  of  entities  under  common  control  similar  to  a
pooling-of-interests.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


Board  of  Directors  and  Stockholders
     Newsware,  Inc.

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets  of  Newsware, Inc. (the
"Company")  as  of  December  31,  1996 and 1995 and the related statements of
operations,  stockholders'  deficiency  and  cash  flows for each of the three
years  in  the  period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are
the  responsibility  of  the  Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material  misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made  by  management,  as  well as evaluating the overall financial
statement  presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for  our  opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Newsware, Inc. as of December
31,  1996  and  1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each  of  the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994


(NOTE  A)  -  THE  COMPANY  AND  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS  AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION -  Newsware, Inc. (the
"Company")  was  formed  on May 18, 1993 and provides on-line news information
services to its customers (who are primarily involved in the financial service
industry)  under  agreements using dedicated communications lines. During 1996
two  customers  accounted  for  17%  and  14%,  respectively, of the Company's
revenues.

     The  Company  has  incurred losses since inception as it seeks to further
refine  its  software  and build market acceptance for its service. Track Data
Corporation  ("TDC"),  an  affiliate  of the Company, has funded the Company's
losses  during  1997  and  1996.

     On  November 7, 1997 the sole stockholder of the Company, who is also the
Chairman  and principal stockholder of TDC, transferred his stock ownership in
the  Company  to TDC. Prior to such transfer, the sole stockholder contributed
approximately  $1,100,000  of  principal  loans and interest due to him to the
capital  of  the  Company.

     REVENUE  RECOGNITION  -  The  Company  recognizes revenue as services are
performed.  Revenues billed in advance of services are deferred until services
are  rendered.

     FIXED ASSETS - Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
estimated  useful  lives  of  5  to  10  years.

     SOFTWARE  -  Software  costs  are amortized on a straight-line basis over
their  estimated  useful  lives  of  5  years.    Management  assesses  the
recoverability  of its software costs based principally upon comparison of the
carrying  value of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows to
be  generated  by  the asset, plus estimated salvage value less any applicable
costs.  If management concludes that the asset is impaired, its carrying value
is  adjusted  to  its  fair  value.

     INCOME TAXES - The Company has elected to be treated as an S corporation.
As  a  result,  federal  and  certain  state  income  taxes  are  paid  by the
shareholders  rather  than  the  corporation.

     USE  OF  ESTIMATES - In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  management  is  required to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported amounts of assets and
liabilities  and  the  disclosure  of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date  of  the  financial  statements  and  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting  period.    Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
                                  (unaudited)

1.         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments  (consisting  of  only  normal recurring
accruals)  necessary  to present fairly the financial position as of September
30,  1997, and the results of operations and of cash flows for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997  and  1996. The results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that
may  be  expected  for  any  other  interim  period  or  for  the  full  year.

2.       On November 7, 1997, the sole stockholder of the Company, who is also
the Chairman and principal stockholder of TDC, transferred his stock ownership
in  the  Company  to  TDC.  Prior  to  such  transfer,  the  sole  stockholder
contributed  approximately  $1,100,000  of principal loans and interest due to
him  to  the  capital  of  the  Company.

In  1997, the Company paid the principal amount of approximately $9,000 to all
minority  stockholders  in full satisfactory of their debt and in full payment
for  their stock ownership in the Company. Subsequent to such transaction, the
remaining  sole  stockholder contributed approximately $1,100,000 of principal
loans  and  interest  due  to  him  to  the  Company's  capital.

                               TDC AND NEWSWARE
                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  financial  statements  present the
combined  financial  position of TDC and Newsware as of September 30, 1997 and
combined  statements  of  operations for each of the three years in the period
ended  December  31,  1996  and for the nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996. The unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the
transfer of 100% ownership of Newsware to TDC by its Chairman. The transaction
will be treated as a combination of entities under common control similar to a
pooling-of-interests  because the Chairman and principal stockholder of TDC is
also  the  Chairman  and  sole  stockholder  of  Newsware.

     The  pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the combined
results  of operations or combined financial position that actually would have
been achieved if the transaction had been in effect as of the date and for the
periods  indicated  or  which  may  be  obtained  in the future. The pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto, the
financial statements (including the related notes thereto) contained elsewhere
herein  and the Track Data Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended  December  31,  1997.
