Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

General

The Company's results of operations are strongly affected by the size and timing
of contracts for support desk services and software sales. Contracts for the
Company's Support desk services are often tied to the introduction of a new
computer product for which support will be required as the new product is
introduced and for a period of time thereafter. In other instances the Company
will have agreements for Support desk services that are not so much based on a
particular product but require more general support for personal computers and
that rely upon the Company's data base. Revenues for Support desk services,
accordingly, often fluctuate significantly. The direct personnel costs for
Support desk services also have to be managed carefully and fluctuate
significantly, depending upon the volume of calls generated by the Support desk
services.

Software sales, which include sales and licensing of the Company's AskMe Pro and
KnowledgeBases, also fluctuate significantly. However, the gross margins for
software sales and licensing are significantly larger than for Support desk
services.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, increased approximately $28,000
or 4.6%, to $655,149 from $627,193 for the 1996 quarter. The modest increase in
overall revenues masked the significant drop in sales and licensing of the
Company's software and the significant increase in Support desk sales that
resulted from the addition of two large clients in the first quarter of 1997.

The Company, however, incurred a small operating loss in the first quarter of
1997 compared to an operating profit of $140,000 in the first quarter of 1996.
Although revenues were essentially unchanged between the periods, the cost of
Support desk services increased more than $115,000, that is, the gross margins
on support desk services are not as large as software sales and licenses and the
larger percentage of sales that are derived from support desk services cannot
offset smaller software sales and licensing to maintain profitability.

The Company did have a profit for the first quarter of 1997, $37,600, although
less than the $110,900 profit in the first quarter of 1996. The first quarter of
1997 was favorably affected by interest income derived from the Company's cash
position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's operating capital has been provided by operations, the issuance of
stock and bank lines of credit. The Company's long-term continuation depends
upon its ability to generate profits. Because the Company's losses have largely
been funded with debt, its ongoing ability to survive will depend upon its
ability to increase revenues.
