MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the nine months period ended September 30, 2003 decreased
by 36% to $125,452 as compared to $195,936 for the corresponding period of 2002.
Revenue for the three months period ended September 30, 2003 decreased 75% to
$13,029 as compared to $52,168 for the corresponding period of 2002. The
decrease in revenue for the nine month and three month periods was due to major
cutbacks in the advertising and market research industries following the
September 11, 2001 terror attacks. These cutbacks resulted in a severe slow down
in demand for market research data processing services. To cut costs, a major
customer decided to perform its market research data processing in house,
resulting in a loss of that client.

Cost of sales during the nine months period ended September 30, 2003
decreased by $101,976 or 55% when compared to the similar period of 2002. During
the three months period ended September 2002 the cost of sales decreased by 26%
to $22,014 as compared to $29,936 for the corresponding period in 2002. The
large decreases in cost of sales during the nine months period and the third
quarter of the fiscal year were due to cost reductions that were put into effect
due to the decrease in sales volume.

Selling and Administrative expenses during the nine months period and
the three months period ended September 30, 2003 remained relatively the same.

During the nine months period ended September 30, 2003 the Registrant
had to pay $3,495 interest on funds advanced to it by it's parent Data Probe,
Inc. In the comparable period of fiscal year 2002 the Registrant earned interest
in the amount of $1,886 for funds advanced by it to Data Probe, Inc. (See NOTE F
of "Notes to Form 10-Q" contained in this report for additional information).

The Registrant had a loss of $(75,315) during the nine month period
ended September 30, 2003 as compared to a loss of $(89,978) in the similar
period of 2002. The Registrant also reported a loss of $(49,073) for the three
months period ending September 30, 2003 as compared to a loss of $(16,633) for
the same period of 2002.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

The Registrant incurred no capital expenditures during the current
fiscal year. The registrant does not anticipate any material capital
expenditures during the balance of fiscal year 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

Working capital decreased by 67,898 in the first nine months of 2003
from a negative balance of ($339,714) at December 31, 2002 to a negative balance
of ($407,612) at September 30, 2003.

There is no assurance that the stream of sales and revenue from the
Registrant's clients will continue. If additional profitable revenues from new
clients cannot be generated the Registrant will once again realize losses, and
its ability to continue to operate would be severely affected in the absence of
securing some type of supplemental financing, the availability of which there
can be no assurance.
