The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Registrant and include all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at September 30, 1996, the results of operations and the statement of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the subject periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is qualified in its entirety by the information included in the Company's Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 1995 including, without limitation, the financial statements included therein. NOTE 2. In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, which the Company adopted in 1995. The Standard requires the Company to review the carrying amount of long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles, and related goodwill to determine whether any indicators of impairment are present. At September 30, 1996 the Company's review of it's long-lived assets showed no indications of loss or impairment and, therefore, has not had a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. NOTE 3. The Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement with a former employee and officer of the Company, Douglas K. Bisch, whereby the Company agreed to purchase and retire, over a seven-year period, 156,000 of 171,000 shares of Company stock owned by Mr. Bisch. In January 1996, the Company purchased and retired the second block of 15,600 shares. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 	Results of Operations. FINANCIAL CONDITION December 31, 1995 to September 30, 1996 Liquidity and capital resources. Working capital decreased $319,000 due to an increase in accrued payroll and related liabilities, as well as an increase in current portion of long-term debt as a result of an increase earlier this year of the Company's capital line of credit note. Other assets increased $221,000 due to deferred database costs on several major contracts which will be recovered over more than one year. Net long-term debt decreased by $5,000. Capital expenditures were $819,000. The average collection period for accounts receivable improved from 70 days at December 31, 1995 to 66 days as of September 30, 1996. The Company has a revolving credit agreement with a bank under which borrowings are secured by accounts receivable, whereby the Company may borrow against its eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum of $1,000,000 ($1,000,000 available at September 30, 1996) with interest at 0.5% above the bank's prime rate. Management believes that the current line of credit, which is renewed annually in May, will again be renewed in 1997, and is sufficient to handle cyclical working capital needs. There are no compensating balance requirements or commitment fees. This agreement contains the same loan covenants as the equipment line of credit note payable. The Company also has a line of credit agreement with the bank providing for maximum borrowings of $3,000,000 ($554,119 available at September 30, 1996), with interest at 0.75% above the bank's prime rate, for the purchase of equipment and financing of up to $1,000,000 in internal software development costs. The capital line of credit is renewed annually in May and management believes that the current line of credit will be renewed in 1997. Management does not currently believe that increased credit will be required to finance capital improvements in 1996. Among other requirements, the capital line of credit note payable requires the Company to maintain minimum ratios of current assets to current liabilities, debt to equity and cash flow to debt service, minimum working capital and equity amounts, limits capital expenditures and capital lease obligations and prohibits the payment of cash dividends. There are no commitment fees or compensatory balance requirements or note guarantors. The Company has a note payable due to a stockholder (per a stock repurchase agreement) with an outstanding balance at September 30, 1996 of $110,000. The note is payable in annual installments of $55,000 (to be paid June 1997 and 1998) plus interest at 5.5% per annum. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS First Nine Months 1996 as Compared to First Nine Months 1995 	Net sales decreased $263,000 or 4%. 	Cost of sales decreased $453,000 or 10% as a result of changes in 	variable costs fluctuating with product mix, continuing cost 	reduction measures and productivity gains. 	Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $78,000 or 	3% as a result of the company's focus on sales and marketing. The 	primary increases are in additional sales and marketing staff, new 	product promotion and a reorganization of the sales and marketing 	departments. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased from 	33% to 35%. 	Interest expense/other increased $47,000 or 39%. Net interest expense 	increased $29,000 as a result of higher interest rates on higher 	average borrowings in 1996. Other income in 1996 was $26,000. In 	1995 other income was $44,000. 	Income from operations increased $64,000, or 38%, to $231,000 in 1996, 	up from $167,000 in 1995. 	Net income increased $36,000, or 40%, to a $125,000 net profit in 	1996, up from an $89,000 net profit in 1995. 	Net Income per Share increased 38% to $0.11, up from $0.08 in 1995. Third Quarter 1996 as Compared to Third Quarter 1995 	Net sales decreased $285,000 or 12%. 	Cost of sales decreased $301,000 or 20%. Significant factors in cost 	of sales include changes in operating costs generally attributable to 	variable costs fluctuating with product mix. 	Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $19,000 or 2%. 	As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased from 33% to 37%. 	 	Interest expense/other increased $20,000. Net interest expense 	increased $9,000. Other income in third quarter of 1995 was $19,000. 	In the third quarter 1996 other income was of $8,000. 	Income from operations increased $16,000 to $74,000 in 1996. 	Net income increased to $41,000 in 1996, up 35%. 	 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. None Item 2.
