COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

All comparisons within the following discussion are related to the same period
of the previous year.


Net sales.   Revenues for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996 were
$79.9 and $156.9 million, an increase of $37.9 million (90.2%) and $71.3 million
(83.3%) respectively over prior periods.  Of the $37.9 million increase
for the quarter, $21.3 million was attributable to sales related to the IBM
contract, with the remaining $16.6 million due to an overall increase in sales
to new and existing customers.

Gross profit.   Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 9.0% to 8.3%
for the three-month period and declined from 8.2% to 8.1% for the six-month
period.  The quarterly decline was attributable to an uncharacteristically high
prior year's gross profit margin from large incentive rebates and product sales.
Except for the 1995 second quarter 9.0% gross profit margin, no other quarter in
the prior fiscal year exceeded 8%.

Selling and marketing expenses.  Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter
ended  March 31, 1996 were $3.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 50.9%,
compared to the $2.2 million for the prior year's quarter, primarily as a result
of increased variable sales costs as a result of increased sales volume.  As a
percentage of sales, however, selling and marketing expenses decreased from 5.2%
to 4.1% for the quarter ended  March 31, 1996 due to fixed costs being spread
over a higher volume of sales.

General and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $1.2 million, an increase of $0.3 million,
or 34.6%, compared to $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
primarily as a result of increased staff and other administrative functions
necessary to support the increase in sales volume.  The decrease in general and
administrative as a percentage of sales was due to fixed costs being spread over
a higher volume of sales.

Litigation defense.  Legal expense related to the Lam litigation was $0.5
million for the quarter ended  March 31, 1996, an increase of $0.4 million, or
362.2%, compared to the $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, due
to the increase in legal activity leading to the settlement of the case in April
1996.

Interest expense.  Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was
$0.6 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 30.0%, compared to $0.4 million
for the quarter ended  March 31, 1995.  The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to increased borrowings to support an increase in the Company's
accounts receivable balances resulting from an increase in its net sales.

Net income.  Net income  for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $0.6 million,
an increase of $0.5 million, or 480.3%, compared to $0.1 million for the quarter
ended  March 31, 1995.  Net income increased primarily as a result of the
increase in sales and a decline in operating expenses as a percentage of sales
due to the fixed expenses being spread over a higher volume of sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Operating activities used cash totaling $5.7 million, during the six months
ended March 31, 1996.  Net cash used in operating activities has been
significant due to the working capital requirements resulting from the rapid
growth of the Company and, more specifically, the financing of increasing
accounts receivable balances that are a direct result of increased sales.
Restricted cash, representing amounts on deposit with financial institutions
pursuant to certain credit arrangements, increased $.6 million  for the six
months ended March 31, 1996, due to lender requirements corresponding to
increases in the amount of credit made available to the Company.  Accounts and
other receivables increased $9.2 million for the six months ended March 31,
1996.  Inventories increased $.6 million for the six months ended March 31,
1996.  Increases in accounts and other receivables and inventories was the
result of sales growth.

Investing activities used cash totaling $.9 million during the six months ended
March 31, 1996. The investing activities primarily related to the acquisition of
additional computer equipment and continued software development of the EPIC
system, which through March 31, 1996 amounted to $.6 million.  The first module
of the EPIC system, the quote module,  was released on June 1, 1996. The Company
anticipates investing further development costs, as additional modules are added
to the system.

Financing activities provided net cash totaling $6.4 million during the six
months ended March 31, 1996.  The primary source of cash was net borrowings
under lines of credit which have been used primarily to finance accounts
receivable, which has grown as a result of sales increases.

The Company's accounts receivable balance at March 31, 1996 and September 30,
1995 was $40.8 and $31.9 million. The number of days' sales outstanding in
accounts receivable was 47 and 56 days as of March 31, 1996 and September 30,
1995, respectively. The reduction in days' sales outstanding was a result of
increased focus on collection activities and the adoption of financial
incentives offered to sales and support personnel for prompt collection of
accounts receivable.

As of March 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $1.8 million in cash,
principally restricted cash and $1.9 million in working capital. The Company has
several revolving credit facilities collateralized by accounts receivable and
all other assets of the Company, including a $34 million line with IBM Credit
Corporation ("IBM Credit"). As of March 31, 1996, such lines of credit provided
for maximum aggregate borrowings of approximately $38.6 million, of which
$34.9 million was outstanding. Because the lines of credit are primarily
collateralized by accounts receivable, the available credit and credit limit 
are dependent upon the amount of accounts receivable at any


                                          7

given point in time. Outstanding borrowings on the lines of credit bear interest
at up to prime plus 2.50%. The lines of credit are automatically renewable on an
annual basis unless notification of an election not to renew is made by either
the Company or creditor on or prior to the annual renewal date. Borrowings are
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and are guaranteed
by Bob and Naureen Din.  In addition, the lines of credit contain certain
financing and operating covenants relating to net worth, liquidity,
profitability, repurchase of indebtedness and prohibition on payment of
dividends. At September 30, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the Company was not in
compliance with a number of covenants under the Company's line of credit
agreement with IBM Credit. As a condition to granting the Company a waiver with
respect to the Company's noncompliance with such covenants, IBM Credit, among
other actions, increased the interest rate on outstanding balances under the
line to prime plus 2.75% from prime plus 2.5%. IBM Credit also indicated that
it may impose more stringent financial covenants on the Company upon the
completion of the public offering. Currently the Company is in negotiation with
IBM Credit to lower the prime plus 2.75% interest rate charged under the line
and increase the total line available.
