ITEM I. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

   On June 1, 1998, Precept Business Services, Inc. ("Precept"), a Texas 
corporation, sold its interest in 75% of the common stock of U.S. Trucking, 
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("USTI"), pursuant to that certain First Amended 
and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 29, 1998, by and among 
Precept Transportation Services, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company 
and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Precept Transportation"), 
Logistics Management LLC, a Kentuck limited liability company, Association 
Services, Inc., a Kentucky corporation, Roxanne Pixler, Dan Pixler and 
Anthony Huff.  Precept Transportation had acquired its interests in USTI from 
U.S. Transportation Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation on March 19, 1998.  
USTI operates in the long-haul trucking business.

   To the best knowledge of Precept and except as described below, at the 
time of the divestiture of its interest in USTI, there was no material 
relationship between (I) Logistics Management LLC, Association Services, 
Inc., Roxanne Pixler, Dan Pixler and Anthony Huff on the one hand and (ii) 
Precept, or any of its affiliates, shareholders, any director or officer of 
Precept, or any associate of such director or officer on the other.  Prior to 
the aforementioned divestiture, Precept Transportation owned an interest in 
75% of the common stock of USTI and Logistics Management owned the remaining 
25% of the common stock of USTI.  Dan Pixler is the President of USTI and 
Anthony Huff is the Manager of Logistics Management, LLC.

   The aggregate consideration received by Precept as a result of the 
divestiture was $1,950,000, composed of $200,000 in cash and a promissor note 
with an original principal balance of $1,750,000, payable in monthly 
installments of principal and interest equal to $15,000 commencing July 1, 
1998 with the total outstanding principal and interest coming due on April 1, 
2000.  The note carries an interest rate equal to the prime rate of Wells 
Fargo Bank (Texas), N.A., adjusted annually.  The consideration received by 
the Company in this divestiture was determined by arms-length negotiations 
between the parties t the First Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement.

ITEM 7. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRECEPT

                           PRECEPT BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.
                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Precept acquired the common stock and warrants of USTS in a transaction which 
is more fully described in Precept's Form S-4, which became effective 
February 9, 1998.  This transaction ("USTS Acquisition") has been accounted 
for using the purchase method of accounting. The excess of purchase price 
over the estimated fair values has been recognized as goodwill, which will be 
amortized over 40 years.

Effective April 13, 1998, Precept executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with 
InfoGraphix ("InfoGraphix Stock Purchase") in which Precept exchanged 
2,058,077 shares of Precept Class A Common Stock for all of the outstanding 
stock of InfoGraphix.  This Infographix Stock Purchase has been accounted for 
by the pooling method of accounting.

Subsequent to the USTS Acquisition, Precept determined to divest of its 75% 
ownership in USTI, which represents the long-haul delivery transportation 
related services segment of USTS.  Effective May 29, 1998, Precept completed 
the sale of its share of USTI.  The net assets of USTI have been recorded at 
their estimated net realizable value of $200,000 and have been classified as 
net assets of discontinued operations in the Precept March 31, 1998 
historical quarterly financial statements.  

The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations does not purport to represent 
what Precept's results of operations actually would have been if the events 
described above had occurred as of the date indicated or what results will be 
for any future periods.

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 
1998 gives effect to the InfoGraphix Stock Purchase as though it had occurred 
on that date.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations 
for the year ended June 30, 1997 (which combines USTS' financial information 
for the nine-months ended December 31, 1996 and six-months ended June 30, 
1997; and includes InfoGraphix' financial information for the year ended 
September 30, 1997, which was InfoGraphix' fiscal year end) and for the 
nine-months ended March 31, 1998 (which combines InfoGraphix' financial 
information for the three-months ended September 30, 1997 and the six-months 
ended March 31, 1998), gives effect as if the Transactions had occurred on 
July 1, 1996.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information should be read in 
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Precept and USTS 
and the Notes thereto previously included in Precept's Form S-4 filing, which 
became effective on February 9, 1998.
