                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
MIDAS Computer Software Limited


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of MIDAS Computer Software
Limited as of February 28, 1998 and the related statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States 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 statements presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides 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 MIDAS Computer Software
Limited as of February 28, 1998 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with United States
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1998


1.   Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

The company is principally engaged in computer software development,
installation and consultancy.

MIDAS Computer Software Limited was incorporated on February 29, 1996 under
the laws of England and Wales as a private limited company.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP).

The financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts of MIDAS
Computer Software Limited within the meaning of section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985, as amended, of Great Britain.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from time and material contracts and recognized during
the period in which the services are provided.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Income Tax

Income taxes are computed using the liability method, in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes".  Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax
rates and laws.

Net Income Per Share

The Company computes net income per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128")
and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98
("SAB 98"). Under FAS 128, basic net income per share is computed by
dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the
period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of
unvested restricted common stock, incremental common shares issuable upon
the exercise of stock options and warrants and upon conversion of preferred
stock, are included in diluted net income per share to the extent such
shares are dilutive.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1998


Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains its accounting records in its local currency, Great
Britain, sterling pounds.  The financial statements have been presented
herein, converted to United States dollars and the effect of the foreign
currency translation is reflected as a component of shareholders' equity in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign
Currency Translation".

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
levels of credit risk are accounts receivable. The Company extends credit
based on the evaluation of its clients' financial condition. The Company's
historical credit losses have not been significant.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Statement addresses the
reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components.  The
adoption of SFAS No. 130 relates to disclosure within the financial
statements and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information", which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Statement changes the way public
companies report information about segments of their business in their
annual financial statements and requires them to report selected segment
information in their quarterly reports.  Adoption of SFAS No. 131 is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999. The new standard requires that all companies record
derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair
value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative
and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Management is currently
assessing whether there will be any impact of SFAS No. 133 on the Company's
consolidated financial statements upon adoption, which is required in
October 1999.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and receivables approximates fair value because
of their short-term nature.  The fair value of the Company's credit line
and debt financing loan are based on current rates at which the Company
could borrow funds with similar maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments with
original maturities of not more than 90 days.

2.   Motor vehicles and equipment

Motor vehicles, fixtures and fittings and computer equipment are recorded
at cost.  Depreciation is provided using the reducing balance method at 25%
for motor vehicles.  The straight line method is used for fixtures and
fittings and computer equipment over their estimated useful lives.  The
assets, stated at cost, were as follows:

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Pro forma adjustments for the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
1998 and the consolidated statement of income for the twelve months ended
September 30, 1998 are as follows:
<S>          <C> 

    (1)      The Sancha, Infact and Midas condensed statement of income and the
             Midas condensed balance sheet are presented after translation using
             the local currency as the functional currency.

    (2)      Reflects the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the
             Sancha acquisition recorded at $5.2 million amortized over eight to
             fifteen year periods.

    (3)      Reflects the $3.1 million of acquired intangibles in the Infact
             acquisition and the associated amortization expense based on
             lives ranging from eight to fifteen years. 

    (4)      Reflects the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the
             Midas acquisition recorded at approximately $3.6 million amortized
             over eight years. Amounts exclude contingent payments of up to 7.9
             million Pounds Sterling which may be paid in cash and shares of the
             Company's Class B common stock based on the achievement of certain
             performance targets over the next three years. It is anticipated
             that these payments may result in additional goodwill. The pro
             forma financial statements do not include the amortization which
             may result from payment of the contingent amounts.

    (5)      Reflects the tax provision at the effective tax rate of 39% for the
             twelve months ended September 30, 1998.

    (6)      Adjustments were made to give effect to increased salaries as a
             result of the acquisition, reversal of the depreciation on the
             building not acquired, the addition of building lease payments to
             reflect the new lease, reversal of interest income earned on
             cash balances not acquired and to exclude the revenues and related
             costs associated with the products division which was not acquired.

    (7)      The pro forma balance sheet reflects the acquisition of the capital
             stock of Midas as if the acquisition occurred as of September 30,
             1998 for pro forma balance sheet purposes and as of October 1,
             1997 for pro forma statement of income purposes. The allocation
             of the purchase price for pro forma purposes is as follows (in
             thousands):

    (8)      Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average
             number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income
             per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
             of common stock outstanding plus all common stock equivalents.
             Basic net income per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect
             the issuance of 51,213 and 51,076 shares of common stock issued as
             part of the Sancha and Midas acquisitions, respectively. Diluted
             net income per share reflects the issuance of 51,213, 49,944 and
             51,076 shares of common stock issued as part of the Sancha, Infact
             and Midas acquisitions, respectively. Given the contingent nature
             of Infact's restricted stock, these shares have been included as a
             common stock equivalent for purposes of diluted net income per
             share only. For diluted net income per share purposes, an
             additional 51,076 shares issued as part of the Midas acquisition
             have been included as a common stock equivalent due to the
             guaranteed share value pursuant to the Midas business purchase
             agreement. The 51,213, 49,944 and 51,076 shares of common stock
             have been included in the weighted average shares as if the shares
             had been outstanding for all periods shown.

     (9)     Reflects the accounting adjustment to reflect acquired intangibles
             of approximately $3.6 million, accrual of estimated acquisition
             costs, stock issued and the reversal of Midas' shareholders'
             equity.
