Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
            Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations:
- ----------------------

      For the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 and 1996,  the  Company  had
operating  revenues of $261,000 and $246,000;  operating  expenses of $1,581,000
and  $1,128,000;  operating  losses of $1,319,000 and $ $881,000;  net losses of
$$1,309,000  and $857,000;  and losses per share of $.20 and $.26  respectively.
Included in the losses are $450,000 attributable to the start-up of the New York
Lottery Players Monthly and $250,000 attributable to investor relations

      Production,   distribution  and  editorial  expenses  rose  $174,000  from
$411,000  in 1996 to $585,000 in 1997,  or 43%.  $85,000 of the net  increase is
linked to the printing of the New York Lottery  Players  Monthly,  which did not
begin  publication  until October 1996 ($188,000) and the reduction of the print
order of LottoWorld  magazine,  whose printing  expense deceased  $103,000.  The
balance of the increase is attributable to increased editorial personnel.

      Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased  $429,000  from
$318,000  to  $747,000,  or 75%. In  addition  to the  increase of $250,000  for
investor relations: (i) $65,000 was expended for financing costs associated with
$500,000 of a convertible  note payable on demand which was obtained in February
1997;  (ii)  overall  salaries  increased  by $30,000;  (iii) taxes and benefits
increased $19,000 attributable to more employees being eligible for full payment
of their medical insurance due to longevity of service; iv) legal and accounting
expenses  increased  $24,000 as a result of additional  Securities  and Exchange
reporting   requirements  and  for  Time  Distribution  Services;  and  (v)  the
remaining  $41,000  is  attributable  to increased costs of a larger company.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------


      The Company had a net  decrease in its cash  position of $119,000  for the
three  months  ended March 31,  1997.  This was net of  $275,000  of  additional
capital raised through the issuance of common stock.

      The Company does not have sufficient  capital to operate its business past
May 1997 unless the Company raises additional capital.

      The Company is currently  negotiating  with several sources for the needed
capital and while the Company is confident it will raise the necessary  capital,
there can be no assurance the Company will be successful.

               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS WITH THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET


              On April 18, 1997,  the Company  received a letter from The Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc.  ("Nasdaq")  informing the Company that based upon its Annual
Report on Form  10-KSB for the year  ended  December  31,  1996,  the  Company's
capital and surplus was less than $1,000,000 and that Nasdaq required  companies
listed on The Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market must  maintain  capital and surplus of at
least $1,000,000 for continued  listing.  Nasdaq went on to say "in light of the
circumstances,  the  Company's  shares of common  stock are subject to delisting
effective  with the close of  business  on May 2, 1997  unless the  Company  can
provide three (3) copies of an SEC-filed  report,  which  demonstrates  that the
Company currently meets all The Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing criteria."

              On a Current  Report on Form 8-K and 8-K/A,  dated April 22, 1997,
the  Company  reported  that  based  upon  its  March  31,  1997  balance  sheet
(unaudited) and a pro-forma balance sheet as of the same date, including (I) the
conversion  of  $250,000  of  the  Company's  Series  A  Redeemable  Convertible
Preferred Stock; (ii) the issuance of $500,000 of shares of the Company's common
stock in exchange for an investment in Sound Money  Investor's  Inc.;  and (iii)
the payment,  by common stock,  for $101,000 of printing  services,  thereby the
Company reported capital and surplus of $1,031,467.

              On May 6, 1997,  Nasdaq wrote the Company,  "Although  the Company
reported  capital and surplus of  $1,031,467  ...,  the  Company  only  achieved
minimal  compliance.."  and the  Company's  common  stock will be delisted  from
Nasdaq effective with the close of business May 13, 1997.

              The Company is entitled to a review of the delisting determination
by  Nasdaq's  staff and has asked  for an  appeal  of the  determination  at the
earliest time available. Nasdaq has set June 12, 1997 as the date of the review.
Until the review and appeal  process is completed,  the  Company's  common stock
will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

              The Company is currently negotiating with several sources  for the
needed  capital  and  while the Company is confident it will raise the necessary
capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful.
