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


     The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act").
The Company desires to avail itself of certain "safe harbor" provisions of the
Act and therefore is including this special note to enable it to do so.
Forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties.
The Company's actual results and experience could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors
including changes in the market and/or regions currently served by the Company
and in those markets and/or regions that the Company may expand into; changes
in the insurance industry; the Company's inability to retain current or new
hearing officers; and changes in the public court system.

General

     The Company provides alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") services to
insurance companies, law firms, large self-insured corporations and
municipalities. To date, the Company has focused the majority of its marketing
efforts on developing relationships, and expanding existing relationships,
with insurance companies which the Company believes are some of the largest
consumers of ADR services.

     The Company opened its first office in March 1992 in New York and has
grown to five locations in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Tennessee
and South Carolina.

     The Company's objective is to become one of the leading providers of ADR
services nationally. To accomplish this goal, the Company plans to open up new
offices in states where it does not presently have offices, which may include
the acquisition of existing ADR companies. In addition, the Company intends to
increase its marketing of its ADR services to litigants in other types of
disputes, including complex commercial issues, construction, employment and
worker's compensation cases.



Second Quarter Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Second Quarter
Ended December 31, 1995

     Revenues. Revenues increased 24% to $922,176 for the second quarter ended
December 31, 1996 from $746,328 for the comparable 1995 period. Management
attributes this growth in sales to a higher level of business with existing as
well as new clients in four of its offices.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Cost of Services. Cost of services increased 38% to $235,441 for the
second quarter ended December 31, 1996 from $170,687 for the second quarter
ended December 31, 1995. The higher volume of business serviced resulted in
greater hearing officer fees. In addition, cost of services as a percentage of
revenues increased to 26% in the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 from 23%
in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996. As volume of cases heard continues
to rise, the cost of services as a percentage of revenue is expected to
decrease.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs increased 44% to $501,798
for the second quarter ended December 31, 1996 from $348,828 for the second
quarter ended December 31, 1995. This expense category includes all salary and
related payroll and employee benefit costs as well as advertising and
promotional expenses. Sales-related employee commissions have risen based on
the higher volume of business. Furthermore, sales and marketing costs as a
percentage of revenues increased to 54% in the second quarter of fiscal year
1997 from 47% in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996. This is attributed to
the hiring and upgrading of personnel to staff and support the Company's
expansion plans. Management believes that the Company is currently operating
with excess capacity.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased
57% to $268,558 for the second quarter ended December 31, 1996 from $170,536
for the second quarter ended December 31, 1995. Furthermore, general and
administrative costs as a percentage of revenues increased to 29% in the
second quarter of fiscal year 1997 from 23% for the comparable prior period. A
portion of the increase relates to rent expense. To support business
opportunities throughout the country, larger office space was obtained in four
locations and a new office was opened in South Carolina. In addition, higher
expenses were incurred in the second quarter of the fiscal year for
professional fees (a large portion of which was related to the initial public
offering) and employee recruitment arising from the expansion of the Company
as well as the overall additional costs of being a publicly traded entity.

     Other Income (Loss). Other loss increased to ($98,247) for the second
quarter ended December 31, 1996 from ($5,645) for the second quarter ended
December 31, 1995. In connection with the initial public offering, the Company
contributed warrants underlying units sold by two executive officers and also
agreed to pay the underwriting costs associated with shares sold by them. With
respect thereto, the Company expensed $115,500 upon the consummation of the
initial public offering in the second quarter. Other loss in the prior period
was primarily composed of interest expense relating to a past private
placement financing. This debt was satisfied in full on November 20, 1996. In
addition, in the current period, investment income was generated from the
initial public offering proceeds. These funds were conservatively invested as
follows: money market funds (62%), short-term government

                                       8


<PAGE>

securities (17%), investment grade corporate bonds (14%) and a small,
diversified portfolio of marketable equity securities (7%)

         Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's tax expense (benefit) for
the second quarter ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was ($836) and $0,
respectively. The current year benefit relates to a reduction in state
franchise taxes due to the Company's net loss. 

     Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) for the second quarter ended
December 31, 1996 decreased to ($181,032) from $50,632 for the comparable 1995
period. As discussed above, this decrease was primarily due to higher cost of
services and sales and marketing expenditures made as an investment in the
Company's infrastructure in anticipation of future growth. In addition, the
current period was adversely affected by non-recurring charges incurred in
connection with the initial public offering.


Six Months Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended
December 31, 1995

     Revenues. Revenues increased 14% to $1,735,620 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 from $1,522,156 for the comparable 1995 period. Management
attributes this growth in sales to a higher level of business with existing as
well as new clients primarily in New York, Tennessee and South Carolina. The
rate of increase in fiscal year 1997 for the six month periods ended December
31, 1996 and 1995 is lower than that of the three month periods then ended due
to the atypical growth experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from
two large successful pilot programs.

     Costs of Services. Cost of services increased 25% to $432,523 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 from $345,630 for the six months ended December
31, 1995. The higher volume of business serviced resulted in greater hearing
officer fees. In addition, cost of services as a percentage of revenues
increased to 25% in the first half of fiscal year 1997 from 23% in the
comparable prior period. As volume of cases heard continues to rise, the cost
of services as a percentage of revenue is expected to decrease.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs increased 30% to $918,100
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $704,583 for the six months
ended December 31, 1995. Sales-related employee commissions have risen based
on the higher volume of business. Furthermore, sales and marketing costs as a
percentage of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1996 increased to

                                       9


<PAGE>



53% from 46% for the comparable prior period. This is attributed to the hiring
and upgrading of personnel to staff and support the Company's expansion plans.

         General and Administrative. General and administrative costs
increased 36% to $450,438 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 from
$332,017 for the six months ended December 31, 1995. Furthermore, general and
administrative costs as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 increased to 26% from 22% for the comparable prior period.
Higher costs with respect to rent and professional fees were due to the
expansion of the Company and its status as a publicly traded entity.

     Other Income (Loss). Other income (loss) decreased to ($105,101) for the
six months ended December 31, 1996 from ($12,258) for the six months ended
December 31, 1995. In connection with the initial public offering, the Company
contributed warrants underlying units sold by two executive officers and also
agreed to pay the underwriting costs associated with shares sold by them. With
respect thereto, the Company expensed $115,500 upon the consummation of the
initial public offering in the second quarter. Other loss in the prior period
pertained to interest expense relating to a past private placement financing.
This debt was satisfied in full on November 20, 1996. In addition, in the
current period, investment income was generated from the initial public
offering proceeds. These funds were conservatively invested as follows: money
market funds (62%), short-term government securities (17%), investment grade
corporate bonds (14%) and a small, diversified portfolio of marketable equity
securities (7%).

     Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's tax expense for the six months
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $1,179 and $1,195, respectively. Such
expense represents state franchise taxes. 

     Net Income (loss). Net income (loss) for the six months ended December
31, 1996 decreased to ($171,721) from $126,473 for the comparable 1995 period.
As discussed above, this decrease was primarily due to higher cost of services
and sales and marketing expenditures made as an investment in the Company's
infrastructure in anticipation of future growth. In addition, the current
period was adversely affected by non-recurring charges incurred in connection
with the initial public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital surplus of
$4,257,046 compared to a working capital deficit of $464,426 at June 30, 1996.
This change in working capital was primarily due to the Company's completion
of its initial public offering on November 18, 1996.

                                      10
<PAGE>

     Net cash used in operating activities was $246,158 for the six months
ended December 31, 1996 versus cash provided by operating activities of
$52,376 in the prior comparable period. The decline is attributable to the
decrease in net income (loss) from the six month period ended December 31,
1995 to the same period in the current year: $127,668 in 1995 versus
($171,721) in 1996.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $1,124,283 for the six months
ended December 31, 1996 versus $72,198 for the comparable prior period.
Additional investing activity occurred primarily in the second quarter of the
1997 fiscal year when the net proceeds from the initial public offering were
received.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,457,655 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 primarily as the result of proceeds realized
from the initial public offering. A portion of the proceeds were utilized to
repay promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $400,000. The notes bore
interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and were originally due June 30, 1996.
Subsequently the due dates of the notes were extended to December 31, 1996. On
November 20, 1996, the notes were repaid in full.
