                             POWERCERV CORPORATION

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                            MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995


A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet of PowerCerv Corporation and its
Subsidiary (collectively, the "Company") as of March 31, 1996 and the
condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by the Company, without
audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 1996 and for all periods
presented have been made.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December
31, 1995 has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements at that date.

     Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and regulations.  These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995 included in
the Company's Form S-1 Registration Statement as declared effective on February
29, 1996.

   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim
period or for the full fiscal year.


B. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

   On March 1, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO")
and issued 2,900,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $14.00 per share.
The Company received approximately $36.9 million of cash, net of offering
expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions.  Simultaneously, all
outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were automatically converted
into common stock on a one-for-one basis and all outstanding shares of
redeemable preferred stock were redeemed.  On April 3, 1996, the Company
received approximately $6.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and
commissions, in connection with the issuance of 495,000 shares of its common
stock pursuant to the underwriter's exercise of the over-allotment option
granted by the Company in connection with the IPO.


C.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding and dilutive common equivalent shares. Pursuant to
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, common and common
equivalent shares issued during the twelve month period prior to the Company's
IPO have been assumed to be outstanding for all periods presented.

E.  INCOME TAXES

     Prior to May 15, 1995, the Company was treated as an S Corporation for
income tax purposes. Effective May 15, 1995, the Company converted to a C
Corporation, and adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes in 1995 was
calculated using the statutory tax rate in effect during the applicable period,
as if the Company were taxable as a C Corporation.

OVERVIEW

     PowerCerv Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PowerCerv
Technologies Corporation (collectively the "Company") provide a broad range of
client/server development tools, application products and services enabling its
customers to successfully implement client/server systems to achieve their
business goals.  The Company's products and services provide its customers with
the ability to successfully design, develop, deploy and maintain client/server
solutions for their specific needs, whether those needs are best met by buying
pre-written applications, building custom applications from scratch or combining
elements of both approaches.  The Company not only provides development tools to
customers designing their own applications, but also provides application
products that can themselves be adapted to the customer's specific requirements.
In addition, the Company provides consulting and education services to assist
customers in designing and deploying an optimal solution for their business
problems.  PowerCerv's development tools and application products are based on
the technology foundation of widely-used products provided by vendors such as
Powersoft, Sybase, Oracle and Microsoft, and utilize an open architecture
enabling their implementation with multiple databases, multiple operating
systems, and integration to other industry standard applications.

     The discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed herein and including those in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this report, and
the risks discussed in the "Risk Factors" section (including, but not limited
to, the Company's ability to manage change, fluctuation in the company's
quarterly activities and results of operations, the Company's dependence on new
products, the overall condition of the client/server market and the Company's
technology foundations, the availability of qualified consulting personnel, the
risks inherent in the Company's development of its new products, and
competition) in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 as declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 1996 (Reg.
No. 333-00250).  Due to all of these factors, it is possible that in some future
quarters the Company's results of operations may be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors.  In such event, the price of the Company's
common stock would likely be adversely affected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's revenues consist primarily of software license fees, resales
of software products developed by other independent software vendors
("technology resales") and fees for services, including consulting, education
and maintenance.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, service fees remain the
Company's largest single revenue source, although the Company's strategy is to
seek to increase revenue generated by licensing its development tools and
application products as a percentage of total revenue.

     The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 91-1, Software Revenue
Recognition.  Software license fees are recognized upon shipment to the customer
if collection is probable and the remaining Company obligations are
insignificant.  The Company provides for potential product returns and
allowances at the time of shipment.  Historically, product returns and
allowances have been immaterial.  Revenues from consulting and education
services are recognized as those services are performed.  Revenue for
maintenance services is recognized ratably over the term of the support period.
Unrecognized amounts are recorded as deferred revenue.

     The Company's quarterly revenue and results of operations have fluctuated
significantly in the past and will likely fluctuate in the future.  Causes of
such fluctuations have included and may include, among others, the demand for
the Company's products and services; the size and timing of orders; the number,
timing and significance of new product announcements by the Company and its
competitors; the ability of the Company to develop, introduce, market, sell and
ship existing, new and enhanced versions of the Company's products on a timely
basis; the level of product and price competition; changes in operating
expenses; changes in average selling prices and mix between the Company's
products, technology resale products and services; changes in the Company's
sales incentive strategy; the mix of direct and indirect sales (including
international sales); changes in customers' budget constraints and general
economic factors.  Any one or more of these or other factors could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.  The potential occurrence of any one or more of these
factors makes the prediction of revenue and results of operations on a quarterly
basis difficult and performance forecasts derived from such predictions
unreliable.

             -------------------------------------  -----------------------------------------
</TABLE>

     In general, revenues are difficult to forecast because the market for
client/server software is evolving rapidly and the Company's sales cycle, from
the customer's initial evaluation through purchase of multiple licenses and the
related support services, varies substantially from customer to customer and
from product to product.  License fee revenue from quarter to quarter is
difficult to forecast, as no significant order backlog exists at the end of any
quarter because the Company's products typically are shipped upon receipt of
customers' orders.

   The Company's strategy is to seek to expand its offering of higher margin
development tools and application products and increase their sales as a
percentage of total revenue.  Implementation of this strategy has in the past,
and may in the future, cause the Company's quarterly results to fluctuate.  In
addition, the Company has built and intends to continue to build an expense
infrastructure that assumes this strategy will succeed.  Therefore, the failure
of the Company to achieve this strategy could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.      

   License fees revenue rose as a result of an increase in the number of
licenses sold primarily due to increased market acceptance of the Company's
products and underlying client/server technology, expansion of the Company's
product offerings and growth in the Company's sales, marketing and customer
service organizations.

     Technology resales revenue decreased due to the Company's increased focus
on sales of its own development tools and application products and increased
market competition for technology resale products.  The Company believes that
1996 quarterly technology resales revenue will continue to be less than such
revenue in the corresponding periods in 1995.

     Service fees revenue grew because of the increase in the number of
consulting personnel, the increase in the realized consulting hourly rates and
the additional maintenance revenue provided by the Company's product licensing
activities.  The higher rates per hour were attained due to the consultants
performing higher value added work associated with licenses of the Company's
products.

     A substantial portion of the Company's operating expenses is related to
personnel, facilities and marketing programs.  The level of spending for such
expenses cannot be adjusted quickly and is therefore fixed in the short term.
The Company's expense levels for personnel, facilities and marketing programs
are based, in significant part, on the Company's expectations of future revenue
on a quarterly basis.  If actual revenue levels on a quarterly basis are below
management's expectations, results of operations are likely to be adversely
affected by a similar amount because a relatively small amount of the Company's
operating expense varies with its revenue in the short term.

     The cost of licenses consists primarily of production costs and the
amortization of intangible assets.  The 1995 cost of licenses was immaterial and
therefore not classified as a separate component of costs and expenses.

     The increase in the gross profit margin of technology resales is due to new
higher margin resales, primarily databases, and the recognition of revenue of
certain resale products on a commission basis versus recording the transaction
as gross sales revenue with the corresponding costs.

     The decrease in the gross profit margin of service fees resulted primarily
from increased personnel costs.  The Company anticipates that the gross profit
margin for 1996 quarterly service fees will continue to be less than such margin
for the corresponding periods in 1995, and the 1996 first quarter gross profit
margin may not be sustainable.

     General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased as a percentage of
total revenues primarily due to certain corporate professional support personnel
being reclassified from G&A to sales and marketing and leverage being obtained
from the existing G&A infrastructure.

     Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased due primarily to
additional R&D personnel necessary to expand and enhance the Company's product
line.  The Company believes that R&D will continue to increase in dollar amounts
in the future.

     The rise in sales and marketing expenses was attributable to the Company's
investment in its direct and indirect sales force, both domestically and
internationally, and increased marketing expenses for the Company's expanded
product line.  The Company will continue to increase its direct and indirect
sales force and consequently its sales and marketing expenses may continue to
increase both in dollar amounts and percentage of total revenues in the near
future.

     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company completed the strategic acquisition
of substantially all of the net assets of Visual Systems Development Group of
Michigan, Inc.  The acquisition resulted in the issuance of 110,000 shares of
the Company's common stock and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The
allocation of the purchase price of $935 included an allocation of $100 to
in-process R&D which is reflected as a one-time charge in the Company's first
quarter 1996 operating results.

   The Company's estimated tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1996
was 39% compared to 38% for the corresponding period in 1995.

     Until May 1995, the Company was treated as an S Corporation for federal and
state income tax purposes.  Accordingly, federal income taxes on any earnings
were payable by the Company's shareholders rather than the Company.  The
provision for income taxes in 1995 was calculated using the statutory tax rate
in effect during the applicable period, as if the Company were taxable as a 
C Corporation.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


     The decrease in cash flow from operations for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995 was due primarily to
the significant growth of the Company and the resulting impact on the changes in
assets and liabilities.

     Cash used in investing activities increased for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995, due primarily to
additional purchases of property and equipment.

     Proceeds from the IPO were used to pay off all outstanding bank debt and
shareholder loans.  Due to the Company's strong cash position and in light of
its current plans, the Company terminated its bank lines of credit.

     The Company believes that funds generated from its operations, existing
cash balances, and the $6.4 million received on April 3, 1996 in connection with
the underwriter's exercise of the over-allotment option will be sufficient to
finance the Company's operations for at least the next twelve months.

                              ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



The Board of Directors
PowerCerv Corporation:


We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of PowerCerv
Corporation and subsidiary as of March 31, 1996, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995.  These condensed consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of PowerCerv Corporation and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows, for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 27, 1996, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.
