ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
As of March 1, 1998, Tier Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Registrant"), through the Registrant's wholly owned subsidiary, Tier
Technologies (Australia) Pty Limited, a company organized under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Australia, acquired the assets of Sancha Computer Services Pty
Limited and Sancha Software Development Pty Limited, each a company organized
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia and in the business of providing
information technology services (together, "Sancha"), for consideration of
$6,700,000 (Australian dollars) in cash and approximately 51,000 shares of Class
B Common Stock of the Registrant. Upon the achievement of certain performance
targets, Sancha may receive additional consideration in an aggregate amount not
to exceed $2,450,000 (Australian dollars) in calendar years 1998 through 2000.
The purchase price was determined by arms-length negotiations between
representatives of the Registrant and Sancha and the funds used and to be used
by the Registrant in connection with the acquisition are from the Registrant's
working capital. The value of the Class B Common Stock of the Registrant was
determined by dividing the average of the closing price (after conversion to
Australian dollars using the exchange rate quoted by the Commonwealth Bank of
Australia for buying U.S. dollars at the end of trading on the business day
preceding the Purchase Date (as such term is defined in the acquisition
agreement)) of the Class B Common Stock on the NASDAQ Exchange for each of the
three business days preceding the date of the acquisition agreement. The
foregoing description does not purport to be a complete description of the terms
of the acquisition agreement, as amended, copies of which are attached hereto as
exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.

SANCHA COMPUTER GROUP PTY LTD
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sancha Computer Group Pty Ltd
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sancha
Computer Group Pty Ltd. as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Sancha Computer Group Pty
Ltd. at June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SANCHA COMPUTER GROUP PTY LTD
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Sancha Computer Services Pty Limited and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are
organized under the laws of Australia.
The Group comprises the following wholly owned entities:
Sancha Computer Group Pty Ltd
Sancha Computer Services Pty Ltd
Sancha Computer Services Unit Trust
Sancha Software Development Pty Ltd
Sancha Research Pty Ltd
Balesyn Computer Services Pty ltd
Balesyn Unit Trust
The Group is in the business of providing computer consultancy services to
businesses primarily in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and South
Australia.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis
under generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements of
the subsidiaries are consolidated where the parent company controls the
subsidiary.
The Group operates wholly in Australia and conducts all transactions in
Australian dollars. The financial statements have been translated into U.S.
dollars, unless otherwise denoted, with the functional currency being
Australian dollars. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange
rate at the end of the period. Changes in stockholders' equity are translated
at the rate applicable on the day the transaction occurred. Income and expense
items are translated using the average rate for the period. Resulting
translation adjustments are included in stockholders' equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Accordingly, the actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Any
adjustments applied to estimated amounts are recognized in the year in which
such adjustments are determined.
Cash
Cash consists of demand deposits and bank overdrafts held at a major
financial institution.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from consultancy services is recognized as the service is performed.

SANCHA COMPUTER GROUP PTY LTD
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Equipment and Furniture
Equipment and furniture are stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment and
furniture is computed using straight-line and declining balance methods over
the estimated useful lives of individual classes of assets, which range from
four to eight years. The cost and accumulated depreciation of fixed assets
sold or otherwise disposed are removed from the accounts and the resulting
gain or loss is included in income in the period realized.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Two of the operating entities which form part of the Group are unit trusts
established pursuant to trust deeds. Under Australian Taxation Law, unit
trusts are not required to pay tax on their net income provided the net
taxable income is distributed in full to the unitholders. Therefore, the
actual tax payable by the Group only represents tax payable on the income
earned by the companies which form part of the Group.
The Australian company tax rate was 33%, 36% and 36% for the years ended
June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company provides unsecured credit
terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses
which, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations.
Employee Entitlements
Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee entitlements
arising from services rendered by employees to the period end. These
entitlements are payable pursuant to Australian employment legislation.
Entitlements expected to be paid within one year are recorded at their nominal
amount. Employee entitlements payable later than one year are recorded at the
present value of the estimated future cash outflows relating to those
entitlements and are classified as other long-term liabilities.
2. EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE
