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

GENERAL
     The Company provides real-time financial market data, news, fundamental
research, charting and analytical services to institutional and individual
investors through dedicated telecommunication lines and the Internet. On April
12, 1999, the Company began to offer online trading through its myTrack
Internet-based personal investment service. myTrack is an Internet-based
software application that is not restricted by the limitations of an HTML
browser-based static system offered by virtually all of its well-known
competitors.  myTrack delivers a continuous dynamic stream of live market data
and investors' real-time online trading activity.  The system is always
connected and is an order of magnitude faster than competing browser-based
systems.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

     Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were $11,661,518
and $11,454,213, respectively.

     Direct operating costs were $7,017,893 for the second quarter of 1999 and
$6,420,740 for the similar period in 1998. Direct operating costs as a
percentage of revenues was  60% in 1999 and 56% in 1998.  The dollar and
percentage increase primarily reflects an increase in payroll, stock exchange
and database fees. 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 $5,430,054 and $4,920,937 in the
1999 and 1998 periods, respectively.  Selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues was 47% in the 1999 period and 43% in the 1998 period.
The increase in 1999 is due to advertising and payroll costs.  Selling expenses
are expected to increase during the remainder of 1999 as there has been recent
additions to sales and customer support personnel and substantially increased
media advertising for the Company's myTrack Internet-based online trading and
market data system.

     In 1999, the Company relocated certain of its personnel to other office
space and realized a gain on the landlord buy-out of the lease of approximately
$350,000, of which $50,000 was realized in the second quarter.

     Interest expense decreased to $85,643 in the 1999 period compared to
$135,190 in the 1998 period due to decreased borrowings.

     As a result of the above mentioned factors, the Company realized a loss
before equity in net income of affiliate of $(822,072) in 1999 and $(22,654) in
1998.

     The equity in income from an affiliate was $136,000 in the 1999 period as
compared to $90,000 in the 1998 period.

     Net loss was $(686,072) for the 1999 quarter as compared to net income of
$40,637 for the 1998 quarter.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

     Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were $23,317,070
and $23,269,873, respectively.

     Direct operating costs were $14,059,496 for the first six months of 1999
and $12,926,913 for the similar period in 1998.  Direct operating costs as a
percentage of revenues was 60% in 1999 and 56% in 1998.  The dollar and
percentage increase primarily reflects an increase in payroll, stock exchange
and database fees.

     Selling and administrative expenses were $10,317,057 and $9,771,539 in the
1999 and 1998 periods, respectively.  Selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues was 44% in 1999 and 42% in 1998. The increase in 1999 is
due to advertising and payroll costs.  Selling expenses are expected to increase
during the remainder of 1999 as there has been recent additions to sales and
customer support personnel and increased media advertising for the Company's
myTrack Internet-based online trading and market data system.

      In 1999, the Company relocated certain of its personnel to other office
space and realized a gain on the landlord buy-out of the lease of approximately
$350,000.

     Interest expense decreased to $187,969 in the 1999 period compared to
$277,942 in 1998 due to decreased borrowings.

     As a result of the above mentioned factors, the Company realized a loss
before equity in net income from an affiliate of $(897,452) in the 1999 period
compared to income before equity in net income of an affiliate of $293,479 in
1998.

     The equity in income from an affiliate was $176,000 in the 1999 period
compared with $146,000 in the 1998 period.

     Net loss was $(721,452) for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
with net income of  $267,479 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 cash provided by
operating activities was $857,538 and $1,355,902, respectively.  The decrease in
1999 was due primarily to the loss from operations in that period.  Cash flows
used in investing activities was $302,163 and $198,033 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Cash flows from financing activities was
$536,748 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with cash used in
financing activities of $1,374,931 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The
1999 period includes an increase in proceeds from exercise of stock options and
lower payments of bank loans and purchases of treasury stock.

     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 line of
credit is sufficient for the Company's cash requirements, however, the Company
plans to spend substantial amounts for advertising its myTrack Internet-based
market data system and online trading.  In July, 1999 the Company sold 483,334
shares of its common stock in private placements, receiving net proceeds of
approximately $5,200,000.  The Company plans to seek additional financing for
such efforts. There are no major capital expenditures anticipated beyond the
normal replacement of equipment and additional equipment to meet customer
requirements.

     Most of the Company's products and networks are substantially Year 2000
compliant already.  There is presently certain data provided to customers from
mainframe hardware, which is in the process of moving to a Year 2000 compliant
server environment.  This is substantially completed.  The Company has sought
compliance statements from each of its significant suppliers, most of which have
provided positive assurances regarding their compliance.  The Company will
continue to work with those who are not yet Year 2000 compliant. In the normal
course of business, the Company is replacing certain administrative systems and
hardware. The new systems will be Year 2000 compliant and will cost
approximately $500,000, most of which will be capitalized as fixed assets. These
costs are capitalized because they relate to the implementation of new systems,
which include substantial new functionality, speed and scalability, in addition
to being Year 2000 compliant. All historical and future costs have been and will
continue to be funded out of existing cash and cash flows from operations.

     The Company is considering certain contingency plans that are available in
the event of a Year 2000 failure. For example, if any of the direct lines that
are used by the Company's financial network were to fail, it is possible that
the Company could shift customers to its Internet-based products. In another
example, if one data provider fails, it is possible that there is another data
provider that provides substantially similar information that could be
integrated into the Company's data feed. The Company will continue to develop
potential solutions so that it is as prepared as possible in the event of a
failure.

Based upon currently available information, management has no reason to believe
that the Company will not meet its compliance goals and does not anticipate that
the cost of effecting Year 2000 compliance will have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, achieving
Year 2000 compliance is dependent upon many factors, some of which are not
completely within the Company's control. Should either the Company's internal
systems or the internal systems of one or more of its critical vendors fail to
achieve Year 2000 compliance, the Company's business and its results of
operations could be adversely affected.

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.
