Managements  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
  Operations

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 1996

     Net Sales.  For three  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  net sales were
$190,839 versus  $166,853 in the same period of the prior year,  representing an
increase of $23,986.  The increase in net sales is primarily  attributed  to the
implementation  of several marketing  initiatives and higher customer  retention
rates. The Company intends to continue to increase  marketing  efforts and offer
diversified Internet services to increase revenues.

     Gross Profit.  For three months ended September 30, 1997,  gross profit was
$99,925  versus  $119,164  in 1996,  representing  a decrease  of  $19,239.  The
decrease  in  gross  profit  resulted  from  higher   telecommunications  costs.
Management  believes  that the gross margin will  increase as Internet  services
revenue increases.

     Sales and  Marketing.  Sales and  marketing  expenses were $21,596 in three
months ended September 30, 1997 versus $6,415 in 1996. The increase in sales and
marketing  expenses was  primarily  due to the  addition of a marketing  manager
position and increased  advertising.  As the financial  situation of the Company
improves,  the Company intends to allocate more resources to sales and marketing
in order to increase revenues.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative costs were $369,124
in the three months ended  September 30, 1997 versus $161,550 in the same period
1996. The increase in general and administrative  costs is primarily  attributed
to expenses  associated with the bridge loan financing,  and increased legal and
bad debt expenses.

     Operating  Loss.  For the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  the
operating loss was $290,795  compared to the 1996 same period  operating loss of
$48,801.  The increase in the  operating  loss in 1997 is  primarily  due to the
expenses  associated  with the bridge loan  financing,  increased legal fees and
higher  telecommunications  costs. To minimize the operating loss in the future,
the Company is seeking to aggressively reduce costs and increase revenues.

     Interest income  (expense).  Net interest expense  increased to $414,291 in
1997 from  $48,089  in 1996.  The  increase  in net  interest  expense is due to
financing  expenses  related  to the  bridge  loan.  Interest  expense  includes
financing  costs of $400,000 for the issuance of 80,000  shares of company stock
as an additional cost of the bridge loan.

     Other  income.  Net other income  increased to $48,584 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1997.  This was due to the rental  income  generated by the
building as well as miscellaneous sales.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

     Net Sales.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  net sales were
$550,969 versus  $544,590 in the same period of the prior year,  representing an
increase of $6,379. The slight increase in net sales is primarily  attributed to
higher customer retention rates and increased sales.

     Gross Profit.  For nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  gross profit was
$343,668  versus  $387,677 in 1996,  representing  a decrease  of  $44,009.  The
decrease in gross profit is attributed to higher telecommunications costs.

     Sales and  Marketing.  Sales and  marketing  expenses  were $50,403 in nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 versus  $47,538 in 1996.  The increase in sales
and  marketing  expenses  were  caused by  increased  advertising.  The  Company
believes that the sales and marketing  expenses will continue to increase as the
financial situation of the Company improves.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased from
$693,014  in  1996  to  $1,157,315   in  1997.   The  increase  in  general  and
administrative  costs  is  primarily  attributed  to costs  associated  with the
registration  of the Companys  common stock issued for the private  placement in
1996, 1997 bridge loan expenses, and increased legal and bad debt expenses.

     Operating Loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the operating
loss was $864,050  compared to a 1996 operating loss of $352,875.  The operating
loss  in  1997  is  attributed  to the  significant  increases  in  general  and
administrative expenses. Management is aggressively seeking strategies to reduce
costs and increase revenues.

     Interest  income  (expense).  Net  interest  expense  increased  in 1997 to
$794,663 from $136,187 in 1996. The increase was due to higher interest  expense
related to the 1997 bridge loan.  Interest expense  includes  financing costs of
$750,000 for the issuance of 150,000  shares of company  stock as an  additional
cost of the  bridge  loan.  The  interest  expense  is  partially  offset by the
interest earned on cash and short term investments.

     Other  income.  Net other income  increased to $203,429 for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1997.  This is due to the rental  income  generated by the
principal building as well as miscellaneous sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  used  cash of
$1,018,558 for operating activities. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had a
working  capital  deficiency  of $584,615.  The working  capital  deficiency  is
primarily attributed to the $750,000 bridge loan in 1997. The Company intends to
reduce the working capital deficiency by increasing  revenue,  reducing expenses
and obtaining  long-term  financing.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will be  successful  in such actions in which event it may be necessary  for the
Company to substantially reduce its operations.

Capital  expenditures  relating primarily to the purchase of computer equipment,
furniture  and fixtures,  and other assets  amounted to $80,887 and $448,210 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  In addition,
the Company  acquired  computer  equipment  through  capital  leases for $69,959
during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997.

Beginning in June 1997, and ending in August 1997, the Company  received a total
of $750,000 in bridge loan proceeds from unrelated individuals. The net proceeds
were used for  working  capital,  marketing  expenses  and to  purchase  capital
assets.  In  connection  with such  bridge  loans,  the Company  issued  150,000
restricted shares of common stock, subject to demand registration and piggy back
registration  rights at the  Companys  expense.  Such  shares were issued to the
individual  investors at the  commencement of their bridge loans. The fair value
of the common stock issued was charged to operations as an additional  financing
expense  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997.  The  cost of such
registration is expected not to exceed $100,000.
