                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1998
                                   (unaudited)

Basis Of Presentation: The interim financial statements are unaudited, but in
the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of results of such periods. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Principles Of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Law Office, Inc.
(TLO) and its eighty-five percent owned subsidiary, The CyberLaw Office, Inc.
(CLO). All significant inter company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

Use Of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Gain (Loss) Per Common Share: Net gain (loss) per common share is computed
on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the respective periods.

Major Customers: Two customers accounted for 48%, and 14% respectively, of the
Company's total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. One of these
customers accounted for 13.21% of the Company's total revenues for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information that the Company's
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes which appear
elsewhere in this Report and the Company's annual report for 1997 on Form
10-KSB.

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions readers that statements
contained herein, other than historical data, may be forward-looking and subject
to risk and uncertainties including, but not limited to the continuation of
revenues through the Company's strategic alliances and the successful
development of other new business. The following important factors could cause
the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of, the Company:

     o    Failure of the Company or its partners to successfully expand its
          market share and sell products and services.

     o    Company's inability to produce and deliver its products and services
          at margins sufficient to cover operating costs.

     o    Company's inability to continue operating due to insufficient cash or
          capital and continued losses.

     o    Company's dependence on a major customer or customers.

     o    Effectiveness of restructuring and cost cutting measures implemented
          in 1997 by the Company to increase its gross margin and decrease sales
          and general and administrative expenses.

In addition, as a result of the delisting of the Company's common stock from the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, described below, investors may suffer a loss of
liquidity in the shares and the Company may have difficulty raising funds in the


<PAGE>


capital markets. Although the Company anticipates that its common stock will
trade on the Nasdaq "bulletin board" or in the local over-the-counter market,
there can be no assurance that such a market will develop or be maintained.

The Company's revenues have historically been derived from conducting analytical
research and writing on a non-recurring basis for its customers. Historically,
the Company has experienced a seasonal fluctuation in revenues with second and
third quarters being the slowest quarters of the year and the last quarter being
the strongest. The Company has developed and implemented programs designed to
attract customers to enter into long term relationships to provide greater
consistency in quarterly revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues: Revenues increased by $329,398 or 92.8%, to $684,531 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1998, over the same period of 1997. For the
nine month period, revenues increased $110,439 or 7.5%. The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in traditional research and writing
services and contract attorney revenues offset by a decrease in
Multi-jurisdictional survey revenue.

Third quarter and year to date 1998 traditional revenues increased approximately
245% and 36.5% respectively from the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997. Year to date MJS survey revenues have decreased 52.9% from the nine month
period in 1997.

Direct Operating Costs: Direct operating costs for compensation and other
benefits include hourly contract fees for independent research attorneys and
hourly compensation of staff research attorneys, document production and support
personnel. Other direct operating costs include outside research fees and
services, royalty fees for association referrals, computer database charges,
project data conversion fees, photocopying, and document retrieval expense.

Total direct operating costs increased $101,032, or 47.5%, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998, from the same period in 1997. For the nine month
period, direct operating costs decreased $151,455, or 17.1%.

The decrease in operating costs is primarily due to lower personnel costs,
computer database charges, and photocopying expense. Personnel costs decreased
due to the continued downsizing of the Company's infrastructure. Computer
database and photocopying charges have decreased due to improved efficiencies of
the Company's research staff.

Direct operating costs, expressed as a percentage of revenues decreased from
59.9% to 45.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1998, from the same
period in 1997. For the nine month period, direct operating costs as a
percentage of revenue decreased from 60.2% to 46.4%. The decreases are due to
various factors explained above.

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
increased by $228,366 or 160.4% to $370,721 from gross profits of $142,355 for
the comparable period for 1997. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit
increased from 40.1% to 54.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
from the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of the managed control of
direct operating costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, gross profit increased by $261,894
or 44.8% to $846,973 from the comparable 1997 period. As a percentage of
revenue, gross profit increased from 39.8% to 53.6% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, from the same period in 1997, due to the decrease in direct
operating costs as explained above.

Other Operating Costs: Other operating costs include compensation of officers,
sales and corporate staff, advertising and direct marketing expenditures and
general corporate overhead, including depreciation. Other operating costs
decreased by $108,894 or 28.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
from the same period in 1997. Of these other operating costs, sales and
marketing expenses increased by $9,198, or 5.5% and general and administrative
costs decreased by $118,092 or 55.8%. The decrease in other operating costs is
due to the downsizing of the Company's infrastructure and continued cost
containment. For the nine months ended September 30,


<PAGE>


1998, other operating costs decreased $390,434 or 29.9%. The decrease in other
operating costs is primarily attributed to a decrease in general and
administrative costs of $427,062 or 62%, offset by an increase in marketing and
sales costs of $36,628 or 5.9%. The increase in marketing and sales cost is
primarily attributable to increased direct mailings and marketing in first and
third quarters of 1998.

Other Income and Expense: Interest income decreased $1,362 for the three months
ended September, 30, 1998, and $16,030 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, from the comparable periods in 1997. The decrease was a result of less
cash invested in interest bearing accounts. Interest expense increased $7,711
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from the comparable periods in
1997. The increase was a result of interest expense on convertible notes
received in 1998.

Net Profit/Loss: The Company posted a net profit of $101,808 or $.04 per share
for the three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to a loss of $334,007 or
$.15 per share for the comparable period in 1997. For the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998 the Company reports a loss of $68,068 or $.03 per share
as compared to a loss of $1,821,180 or $.81 per share for the comparable period
in 1997. The 96.3% decrease in the loss per share was the result of a 17.1%
decrease in direct operating costs, a 29.9% decrease in general and
administrative expenses through the continued downsizing of the Company's
infrastructure, and discontinuation of operations of The Law Office.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to look for marketing and development opportunities and
alliances to increase revenues and cash flow. At September 30, 1998, the Company
had cash and cash equivalents of $405,571 and working capital of $675,004.

Cash generated in operating activities was $1,447 in the first nine months of
1998. This was primarily the result of a $46,902 net gain before depreciation
and other non-cash charges, a $109,383 increase in accounts receivable and
unbilled services, offset by a $20,049 increase in accounts payable. The Company
expects to further increase cash in the forth quarter of 1998.

Investing activity for the first six months of 1998 was $238,200, principally as
a result of two convertible notes payable, cash received on a note receivable
and proceeds from the sale of equipment.

The Company used $0 in financing activities for the first nine months of 1998.

                           Part II - Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

LAWFINDERS LITIGATION

On June 29, 1998, the Company was sued in Dallas, Texas by Lawfinders, Inc.
("Lawfinders"), a competitor of the Company, which alleged that the Company had
misappropriated Lawfinders's proprietary information. Lawfinders sought
injuctive relief and unspecified damages

Commencing in the summer of 1997 and ending in early 1998, the Company was
engaged in discussions with Lawfinders about a possible business combination.
Those discussions failed to produce an agreement between the parties.

Lawfinders commenced suit in state court and obtained a temporary restraining
order restraining the Company from engaging in certain practices in connection
with its appellate brief business. The Company removed the action to federal
court and, on November 4, 1998, after consideration of the evidence and the
parties' briefs, the federal court dissolved


<PAGE>


the temporary restraining order and found that because it is unlikely that
Lawfinders would be successful on the merits of its action, denied Lawfinders a
preliminary injunction.

The Company believes that it will prevail in the litigation, should it continue.
The Company's also believes that its costs of defending the action, including
attorneys' fees, are covered by the Company's general liability insurance
carrier and the Company believes that all future costs of defending the
litigation, if any, will be similarly covered.

                          LEGAL RESEARCH CENTER REPORTS
                     93% INCREASE IN REVENUE, RECORD PROFIT

     Minneapolis, MN - Legal Research Center, Inc. (OTC:LRCI) announced a 93%
increase in revenue and a net profit of $101,808, or 4 cents a share for its
third quarter ended September 30, 1998, compared to a net loss of $334,077 or 15
cents a share, over the same period in 1997. Revenue for the period was
$684,531, compared to $355,133 for the third quarter of 1997.

     The net profit per share was the result of a 93 % increase in revenue, an
increase of only 50% in direct operating costs, a 29% decrease in general and
administrative expenses through the downsizing of the Company's infrastructure,
and discontinuation of operations of The Law Office.

     Christopher Ljungkull, chief executive officer of Legal Research Center,
commented, "LRC's 15% third quarter profit is double our best-ever performance
in the past. It's our first profitable quarter since going public and could very
well mean our first profitable year since '94. Our decision to downsize
infrastructure and focus solely on the core research is clearly paying off in
increased gross and net margins. Strong sales, including large contracts which
we expect to continue through the fourth quarter, boosted us past positive
cashflow to profitability earlier than expected."

     James Seidl, President, said, "The company's growth strategy over the
coming quarters is based upon an ongoing and aggressive direct-marketing
campaign, new and improved strategic alliances with prominent attorney
associations and legal publishers, and enhanced product and service offerings."

     Legal Research Center (http://www.lrci.com), offers legal research and
writing services to attorneys in corporate and private practice throughout the
world. LRC has repeatedly been recognized as the leading supplier of legal
research services in the United States. In 1989, and each year thereafter, the
Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA) selected LRC as the exclusive
provider of research and writing services to its 60,000 members. From 1990
through 1995, the American Corporate Counsel Association partnered with LRC as
the exclusive provider of research and writing services to its 10,000 members,
honoring LRC in 1996, 1997 and 1998 with ACCA's Prestigious President's Award.
In 1994 and following years, West Publishing (now West Group) selected LRC on an
exclusive basis to provide analytical research and writing services to West
customers.

and subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to the
continuation of revenues from major contracts and the successful development of
