     ("IMR-India"), a majority owned subsidiary of Information Management

     (b) During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods
     subsequent to December 31, 1995 there have been no disagreements with

     practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure
     or any reportable events applicable to IMR-India.

     (c) Arthur Andersen & Associates  report on the financial statements of
     IMR-India for the past two years contained no adverse opinions or
     disclaimers of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
     audit scope or accounting principles.

     (d) The  Registrant has requested that  Arthur Andersen & Associates
     furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
     Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of
