            statements  in  conformity  with  accounting   principles  generally
            accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
            estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
            and liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities
            at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
            revenues and expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual results
            could differ from those estimates.  Operating  results for the three
            month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily  indicative of

4.          INVESTMENT IN NYFIX MILLENNIUM

            On October 27, 1999,  the Company  announced  the formation of NYFIX
            Millennium,  L.L.C.  ("NYFIX  Millennium") with seven  international
            investment banks and brokerage firms (the "Consortium"). The Company
            owns 50% of NYFIX  Millennium and the Consortium  owns the remaining
            50%. NYFIX Millennium  intends to operate as an alternative  trading
            system.  All of the  partners of the  Consortium,  and the  Company,
            invested  $2,000,000  each  in  NYFIX  Millennium.  Each  Consortium
            partner received 281,250 shares of common stock of the Company,  for
            an aggregate  1,968,750  shares,  in return for granting the Company
            the option to purchase up to an additional 30% of NYFIX  Millennium.
            The  Company may  exercise  the option  through the  exchange of one
            share of the Company's  common stock for each NYFIX  Millennium unit
            to be purchased,  subject to  adjustments in the event of any split,
            combination,  reclassification  or other  adjustments to the capital
            structure of the Company.

            In March 2001, NYFIX Millennium added four new partners. Pursuant to
            the terms of the Operating  Agreement of NYFIX Millennium,  each new
            partner contributed $2,000,000 to NYFIX Millennium,  and the Company
            maintained  its  50%  ownership  interest  in  NYFIX  Millennium  in
            exchange  for  reducing  certain  of its  rights  to share in future
            dividend  distributions  of NYFIX  Millennium.  The  Company  issued
            94,000  shares of its common stock to each new partner in return for
            the same option  rights noted above.  As of March 31, 2001,  188,000
            shares were  issued to two of the new  partners  with the  remaining
            188,000 shares issued to the other new partners in early April 2001.

            The Company's total investment in NYFIX Millennium of $23,500,000 at
            March 31, 2001, consists of $21,500,000 (1,968,750 shares in 1999 of
            Company  stock x $8.89 and  188,000  shares in March 2001 of company
            stock x  $21.28)  and a capital  cash  contribution  of  $2,000,000.
            Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the first $14,000,000 in losses
            will be  allocated  to the  Consortium  investors,  which equals the
            extent of their capital  investment in NYFIX  Millennium.  Losses in
            excess  of  $14,000,000,  if  any,  will  be  allocated  to the  new
            investors up to an additional $8,000,000, which equals the extent of
            their capital  investment in NYFIX  Millennium.  No portion of these
            losses will be borne by the  Company.  The  Company has  temporarily
            funded certain operating costs and capital expenditures on behalf of
            NYFIX  Millennium  until its  operations  commence.  Such  costs are
            reflected as Due from NYFIX Millennium on the Company's consolidated
            balance sheets.

5.          CAPITAL STOCK

            On May 7, 2001, the Company filed a Form S-3 Registration  Statement
            announcing  a proposed  public  offering of  3,000,000 of its common
            shares,  plus an  over-allotment  option  of an  additional  450,000
            shares.  The  Company  intends to use the net  proceeds  for working
            capital  and  general   corporate   purposes,   including   possible
            acquisitions.

6.          INCOME TAXES

            Commencing in 2001, the Company is subject to full statutory  income
            tax  rates as  compared  to the prior  period  in which the  Company
            utilized the benefits of available net operating loss carryforwards.
            In the prior year's  quarter,  the  Company's  income tax  provision
            consisted of estimated state, local, and foreign income taxes.

7.          PER SHARE INFORMATION

            The Company's  basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated  based
            on  net   earnings   available  to  common   shareholders   and  the
            weighted-average  number of shares  outstanding  during the reported
            period.  Diluted EPS includes  additional dilution from common stock
            equivalents,  such as stock  issuable  pursuant  to the  exercise of
            stock options and warrants.

8.          IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

            In June 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")
            issued  SFAS  No.  133  ("SFAS  133"),   Accounting  for  Derivative
            Instruments  and Hedging  Activities.  SFAS 133 is effective for all
            fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.  SFAS 133, as amended,
            establishes   accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative
            instruments,  including certain derivative  instruments  embedded in
            other contracts and for hedging activities.  Under SFAS 133, certain
            contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet
            the  definition  of a  derivative.  The  Company  adopted  SFAS  133
            effective  January 1, 2001.  The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have a
            significant impact on the financial position, results of operations,
            or cash flows of the Company.

9.          BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

            The  Company  operates in a single  industry  segment as a financial
            technology company focusing on electronic trading infrastructure and
            technologies. The Company provides desktop solutions, stationary and
            wireless exchange floor systems,  electronic  automation systems and
            straight through  processing to the professional  trading segment of
            the  brokerage  community.  The  Company  has  offices in  Stamford,
            Connecticut,  New York,  Chicago  and  London.  Each  office has the
            opportunity  to sell or enter into  subscriptions  for either of the
            Company's products and services.  However,  the operating results of
            the Company's  products and services are not  individually  reported
            nor  are  they  managed  or  evaluated  individually  by  the  Chief
            Executive  Officer,  who is the Company's  chief decision  maker. As
            such,  the Company  does not segment  its  business by products  and
            services.

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

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
consolidated  financial  statements  and notes thereto.  Historical  results and
percentage relationships are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
for any future period.

OVERVIEW

We commenced  operations in January 1991,  initially focusing on capturing trade
order information via our Guided-Input7  Touchpad system, and since then we have
transitioned  to become a provider  of  infrastructure,  systems,  software  and
wireless trading  technologies to the brokerage industry.  We provide electronic
trading and straight-through  trade processing solutions to various participants
in the  brokerage  industry  such as brokerage  firms,  international  banks and
global  exchanges  trading in equities,  futures and options.  Our deployment of
products and services via the NYFIX  network has resulted in our  processing  an
average NYSE daily volume of 212 million  shares in the first quarter of 2000, a
number which has grown to 456 million in the first  quarter of 2001,  with daily
volumes reaching as high as 843 million shares.

By 1996, the financial  services industry had adopted the Financial  Information
Exchange Protocol,  commonly referred to as the FIX protocol, which provides the
brokerage  industry  with a common  underlying  language  to  enable  electronic
trading   and   communications.   In  late  1997,   we  built  a   communication
infrastructure  known as the NYFIX network  utilizing  the FIX  protocol,  which
provides each  customer with  dedicated  circuits  into the NYFIX  network,  and
provides global  electronic  connectivity for trade order routing.  We currently
offer our  services,  consisting of  integrated  hardware and software  systems,
together with linkage through our data center. Our customers typically subscribe
to our services by paying a monthly fee per  terminal for use of our  integrated
infrastructure  and  software  systems.  Beginning  in  late  1997,  we  focused
primarily  on selling our products  and  services on a  subscription  basis with
ongoing monthly  subscription  fees rather than a software and capital equipment
sales model with one-time, upfront fees.

Our revenues are comprised of subscription,  sales and service contract revenue.
Consistent with our transition to a subscription sales model from a hardware and
software  sales model,  subscription  fees  represent a majority and  increasing
share of our total revenues.  Subscription  revenue contracts are primarily with
brokerage firms,  international  banks and global exchanges trading in equities,
and are generally for an initial period of one to three years, with one to three
year renewal  periods.  Subscription  revenues are  recognized  ratably over the
lives of the subscription  agreements with customers and begin once installation
is complete.  Sales  revenue,  which is comprised of software  sales and capital
equipment sales, is generated primarily by sales to customers in the futures and
options  trading  market,  and is expected to decrease in both aggregate  dollar
amounts and as a percentage of total  revenues as we continue to shift our focus
to servicing  those markets  using a  subscription  fee model.  Sales revenue is
recognized upon shipment of the product and acceptance by the customer.  Service
contract  revenue is comprised of  maintenance  contracts  for capital sales and
subscriptions  and is  recognized  ratably  over the period  that the service is
provided.  Service  contract  revenue on  subscription  contracts  is charged to
customers as a fixed percentage of such contracts.

Cost of revenues  principally  consists  of  subscription  communication  lines,
amortization  of  capitalized  product  enhancement  costs and  depreciation  of
subscription-based equipment, labor, materials and overhead.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  account for the majority of our
operating  expenses  and  consist  of  salaries  and  benefits,  rent and office
expenses,  non-customer  specific  communication  fees,  provisions for doubtful
accounts and marketing expenses. During the past several years, we have expanded
our  efforts to support an  increasing  number of services  and to increase  the
number of exchanges, brokerage firms and buyside institutions



                                       10


connecting to the NYFIX network. We believe that our continued investment in the
development  of our system and its  associated  applications  and  services  has
increased  orderflow,  which in turn should  facilitate  both revenue growth and
further distribution of our products.

Research  and  development  expenses  relate  to  developing  new  products  and
technologies to meet the current and future needs of our customers.  These costs
consist  primarily of salaries and costs  related to technical  and  programming
personnel.

Depreciation and amortization  expense consists of depreciation and amortization
of equipment and software used to operate our systems.

On  October  27,  1999,  we  announced  the  formation  of NYFIX  Millennium,  a
consortium of us and seven  international  investment banks and brokerage firms,
consisting of Deutsche  Bank,  ING Barings,  Lehman  Brothers,  Morgan  Stanley,
Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., SG Cowen Securities Corp. and UBS Warburg.  Each
partner,  including us, invested $2.0 million in NYFIX  Millennium.  Each of our
partners received 25,000 units of NYFIX Millennium,  collectively  owning 50% of
NYFIX Millennium,  and we owned the remaining 50%. In addition,  we purchased an
option to buy from our partners an additional 30% ownership in NYFIX Millennium,
for which we paid each of our partners 281,250 shares of our common stock. If we
exercise this option, we will issue an aggregate of an additional 236,250 shares
of our common stock to our partners for units of NYFIX  Millennium owned by such
partners.

In March 2001, NYFIX Millennium added Bank of America,  First Union  Securities,
J.P.  Morgan & Co. and J.P.  Morgan H&Q  (formerly Chase H&Q) as new
partners.  Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement of NYFIX Millennium,
each new partner contributed $2.0 million to NYFIX Millennium, and we maintained
our 50% ownership  interest in NYFIX Millennium in exchange for reducing certain
of our rights to share in future dividend distributions of NYFIX Millennium.  We
issued  94,000  shares of our common stock to each new partner in return for the
same option  rights noted above.  If we exercise  this option,  we will issue an
aggregate of an additional 60,000 shares of our common stock to our new partners
for units of NYFIX Millennium owned by such new partners.

NYFIX  Millennium  commenced  the roll-out of its ATS on a limited  basis to our
existing customers in the fourth quarter of 2000 and is allowing them to use the
system without  charging for orders  executed.  Although the number of users and
orders passing through NYFIX Millennium has been increasing, we currently do not
anticipate that NYFIX  Millennium  will generate  revenue until it has completed
the first  phase of its  strategy to convert the large  existing  NYFIX  network
orderflow into  liquidity  available for  executions in NYFIX  Millennium.  Once
sufficient  liquidity is established in the system,  NYFIX Millennium intends to
generate revenue by charging for each transaction on a fee per share basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

REVENUES
Subscription  revenue  increased  98% to  $5,788,000  for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, from $2,917,000 for the same period in 2000,  principally due to
increased desktop placements among existing customers,  and also the addition of
new customers and new product offerings sold to existing and new customers. As a
percentage of total revenues, subscription revenue increased to 69% in the three
months ended March 31, 2001 from 67% in the same period in 2000.



                                       11


Sales revenue  increased 84% to $1,705,000  for the three months ended March 31,
2001,  from $925,000 for the same period in 2000.  The increase in sales revenue
is principally  due to customer  demand for the Company's  Order Book Management
System ("OBMS") derivatives trading software products.  As a percentage of total
revenue,  sales  revenue  decreased  to 20% in the three  months ended March 31,
2001,  from  21% in the  same  period  in 2000,  which  is  consistent  with the
Company's  transition  to  a  subscription-based   model,  with  software  sales
comprising the majority of sales revenue.

Service  contract  revenue  increased 73% to $929,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, from $538,000 for the same period in 2000, principally due to an
increase in subscription  contract revenue.  In the three months ended March 31,
2001,  service contract revenue  comprised 11% of total revenue,  as compared to
12% in the same period in 2000.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit as a percentage  of total  revenues  increased to 77% for the three
months ended March 31, 2001,  from 74% for the same period in 2000. The increase
in gross profit percentage  principally  resulted from an increase in the amount
of higher  margin  OBMS  software  installations,  which was offset  somewhat by
increased  communication  charges relating to increased desktop  connections and
higher  labor costs due to  increased  service  contract  revenues.  The Company
obtains its materials and supplies from a variety of vendors in the U.S. and Far
East and did not experience  any  significant  price  increases in its component
parts purchased  during the first quarter of 2001.  Included in cost of revenues
was amortization  expense of product  enhancement costs of $358,000 and $241,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Also included
in cost of revenues was depreciation expense for subscription-based equipment of
$453,000  and  $231,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2001 and 2000,
respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 69% to $3,382,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001,  from $2,001,000 for the same period in 2000,
but  decreased as a percentage  of total  revenues to 40% in the current  period
from 46% in the prior period. The dollar increase reflects  increased  salaries,
related  personnel  costs,  recruiting  fees,  rent  expense and various  office
expenses due to personnel increases to support the Company's growth.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development  expenses decreased 24% to $78,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001, from $102,000 for the same period in 2000,  primarily as a
result of the Company  focusing on enhancing  its  existing  product line in the
three months ended March 31, 2001 as opposed to  developing  new products in the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization  expenses increased 127% to $517,000 for the three
months  ended  March  31,  2001,  from  $228,000  for the same  period  in 2000,
reflecting principally the continued investment in the Company's infrastructure,
in addition to administrative  support  equipment and leasehold  improvements to
support the Company's growth.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense  increased 68% to $111,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2001,  from  $66,000  for the same  period in 2000,  principally  as a result of
interest on capital lease obligations of $57,000 during the current period.

INTEREST INCOME
Interest  income  increased  92% to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2001,  from  $25,000  for the same  period  in 2000,  principally  due to higher
average cash balances maintained by the Company during the current period versus
the comparable period in 2000.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes  increased to $969,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001,  from $93,000 for the same period in 2000.  Commencing  in 2001,
the  Company is subject to full  statutory  income tax rates as  compared to the
prior  period in which the  Company  utilized  the  benefits  of  available  net
operating loss carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Prior to achieving the Company's present levels of profitability,  the Company's
primary  source of  liquidity  had been equity  capital and  drawdowns  from the
Company's line of credit agreement.  In November 1998 and in September 1999, the
Company raised $3,450,000 and $2,547,000,  respectively, from private placements
of  securities.  At March  31,  2001,  the cash  and  cash  equivalents  balance
decreased  to  $4,724,000  from  $4,867,000  at December 31, 2000 as a result of
capital  expenditures  and the  acquisition  of  other  assets  to  support  the
Company's  infrastructure  and  repayments  under the line of credit and capital
lease  obligations,  partially offset by cash provided by operating  activities,
repayments of advances by NYFIX Millennium and the exercise of stock options. On
May 7, 2001, the Company filed a Form S-3  Registration  Statement  announcing a
proposed   public   offering  of  3,000,000  of  its  common  shares,   plus  an
over-allotment  option of an additional  450,000 shares.  The Company intends to
use the net  proceeds  for  working  capital  and  general  corporate  purposes,
including possible acquisitions.

At March 31, 2001,  the Company had total debt of $3,901,000,  which  represents
amounts  outstanding under the line of credit and capital lease obligations.  At
March 31, 2001, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures
or inventory purchases.

On July 13,  1998,  the Company  entered  into a  three-year  $3 million line of
credit  agreement with a financial  institution  with advances on such agreement
available to the Company  during the first 18 months.  The credit  agreement was
primarily intended to finance equipment expenditures.  Outstanding  indebtedness
under the credit  agreement  bears  interest  at either  LIBOR plus 1.25% or the
bank's  prime  rate,  at the  Company's  discretion.  The  Company  drew down an
aggregate  of  $1,800,000  under the  agreement  during  1998 and an  additional
$700,000  during 1999. The credit  agreement  prohibited the Company from making
principal repayments prior to February 1, 2000. Repayment of principal commenced
on July 30, 2000 with twelve monthly  installments of $83,333 with the remaining
balance due on July 30, 2001.

The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity,  including cash generated from
operations and issuances of common stock, to support its cash needs for at least
the next twelve months.

WORKING CAPITAL
At March 31, 2001 and  December  31,  2000,  the Company had working  capital of
$10,075,000  and  $9,159,000,  respectively,  representing  a 10% increase.  The
Company's present capital  resources  include proceeds from internal  operations
and from issuances of common stock.

CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2001,  net cash  provided by  operations
was $1 million as compared  to net cash  provided  by  operations  for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 of $2.6 million. The decrease is primarily due to an
increase in accounts receivable of $1.9 million in the current period, offset by
a 92%  increase in net earnings to  $1,464,000  for the three months ended March
31, 2001, from $764,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES
During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2001 and  2000,  net cash used in
investing activities was $1,151,000 and $1,460,000,  respectively.  The decrease
represents payments for purchases of equipment related to the Company's




                                       13

data  center  and  subscription   equipment  and  payments  related  to  product
enhancement costs for the Company's product  portfolio,  offset by repayments of
advances made to NYFIX Millennium.

PROCEEDS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During  the three  months  ended  March  31,  2001,  net cash used in  financing
activities was $14,000,  compared to net proceeds from  financing  activities of
$1,366,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. During the current quarter
repayments  under the credit  line of  $250,000  and  principal  payments  under
capital  lease  obligations  of $196,000  were  partially  offset by proceeds of
$432,000 from the exercise of stock options. During the three months ended March
31, 2000,  proceeds  from the exercise of warrants and stock  options  generated
cash of $1,366,000.

SEASONALITY

The Company  believes  that its  operations  are not  significantly  effected by
seasonality.  NYFIX Millennium's revenues and the Company's transaction revenues
may be affected by the trading  volume  seasonality  inherent in the  underlying
markets.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
133 ("SFAS 133"),  Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000. SFAS
133, as amended,  establishes  accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments,   including  certain  derivative   instruments  embedded  in  other
contracts and for hedging  activities.  Under SFAS 133,  certain  contracts that
were not  formerly  considered  derivatives  may now meet  the  definition  of a
derivative. The Company adopted SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2001. The adoption
of SFAS 133 did not have a significant impact on the financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

RISK FACTORS: FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains certain forward-looking  statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by
the  safe  harbors   created   thereby.   Investors  are   cautioned   that  all
forward-looking  statements  involve risks and  uncertainty,  including  without
limitation,  the  ability of the  Company to market and  develop  its  products.
Although   the   Company   believes   that  the   assumptions   underlying   the

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may be expected to result
from the  potential  change in value of a  financial  instrument  as a result of
fluctuations in credit ratings of the issuer,  equity prices,  interest rates or
foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  The  Company  is  exposed  to  market  risk
principally  through  changes in interest  rates and foreign  currency  exchange
rates.  Interest  rate exposure is  principally  limited to the $1.75 million of
current  portion of long-term  debt  outstanding  at March 31,  2001,  under the
Company's  line of  credit  agreement.  Borrowings  under  the  line  of  credit
agreement bear interest at rates that float with the market. The impact of a 100
basis point change in the interest  rate on the line of credit  agreement  would
not be material to earnings,  cash flows or fair value. The financial statements
of the Company's  London sales office are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the
U.S. dollar as the functional currency.  The market risk associated with foreign
currency   exchange   rates  is  not  material  in  relation  to  the  Company's
consolidated  financial  position,  results of  operations  or cash  flows.  The
Company does not use derivative financial instruments for any purpose.
