accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
of Regulations S-X. They do not include all information and notes required
by generally accepted accounting principals for complete financial

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, 2000, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999
Because of the cost of Support desk services, the Company determined to reduce
support desk services and emphasize Sales and licensing of software in 1999.
Additionally, prior to the Company determining to reduce Support desk services,
the first quarter of the year usually reflected strong revenues because of the
introduction of computer and software products in the holiday season that
required support. Accordingly, revenue from Support desk services declined to
$98,278 in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $509,464 in the first quarter
of 1999. Furthermore, revenue from software sales and licensing also declined in
the first quarter of 2000 to $111,083 from $130,123 in the first quarter of 1999
largely because of the favorable timing of software sales and licensing in the
first quarter of 1999 and the unfavorable timing of software sales and licensing
in the first quarter of 2000.
Revenues for the first quarter of 1999 were $639,587 compared to $209,361 in the
first quarter of 2000, and gross profit in the first quarter of 1999 was
$512,129 compared to gross profit of $120,745 in the first quarter of 2000.
Selling general and administrative expenses also declined in 2000, to $155,985,
when compared to the $176,331 in the first quarter of 1999, largely reflecting
the reduced management effort required for decreased Support desk services.
The large gross profit in the first quarter of 1999 absorbed the Company's
expenses resulting in Net income of $320,716 in the 1999 period compared to a
loss of $48,379 in the first quarter of 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's operating capital has been provided by operations, the issuance of
stock and bank lines of credit, supplemented by stockholder loans. 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. The Company's
emphasis upon software and license revenues makes cash flows less even because
revenues are tied to large sales rather than continued, daily services.
