                BUSINESS RECORDS CORPORATION HOLDING COMPANY
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited) 

1.   The interim consolidated condensed financial statements included herein
     have been prepared by Business Records Corporation Holding Company (the
     "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements have  been condensed
     or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These consolidated
     condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the
     Company's 1995 annual report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management,
     the consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
     necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1996
     and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996
     and 1995, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
     1995.  These adjustments include recurring accruals and a pro rata portion
     of certain estimated expenses.  Management believes that the procedures
     followed in preparing these consolidated condensed financial statements
     are reasonable under the circumstances, but the accuracy of the amounts
     in the financial statements are in some respects dependent upon facts
     that will exist and procedures that will be performed by the Company
     later in the fiscal year. 

2.   The provision for income tax is based on the estimated annual rate. 
     Certain reclassifications between current income tax and deferred income
     tax may be necessary at December 31, 1996 to reflect the annual
     computation of differences between book and tax income.

3.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
     year.

4.   Inventories consist of the following:
                                      March 31,      December 31,
                                        1996             1995    
     Finished goods. . . . . . . .  $ 2,672,000      $ 4,187,000 
     Work in progress. . . . . . .    2,745,000        3,023,000 
     Raw materials and supplies. .    4,209,000        4,540,000 
     Net inventories . . . . . . .  $ 9,626,000      $11,750,000 

5.   During the third quarter of 1995, the Company consummated the merger of
     Clinical Resource Systems, Inc. (CRS), with a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     the Company.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued
     121,112 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the record and
     beneficial interest held by CRS security holders. Additionally,
     outstanding options to acquire CRS common stock were converted to options
     to acquire 14,381 of the Company's common stock.  CRS, headquartered in
     Austin, Texas, provides specialized software to hospital emergency rooms.

     The Company expects to treat the CRS merger as a tax-free reorganization.
     This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
     Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to
     include the results of CRS for all periods presented.
<PAGE>P-7
     Combined and separate results of BRC and CRS during the periods preceding
     the merger were as follows:

             Total. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .      $  2,694,000      



     The combined financial results presented above include adjustments and
     reclassifications made to conform the accounting policies of the two 
     companies.  There were no material income adjustments or intercompany 
     transactions between the two companies for the periods presented.

6.   Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1996, is computed
     based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
     shares outstanding for a total of 6,750,000 shares.  Earnings per share
     for the three months ended March 31, 1995, is computed based on the
     weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
     outstanding for a total of 6,365,000 shares.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed
are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  The
Company's actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements.  Potential risks and uncertainties include market
responses to pricing actions, continued competitive factors and pricing
pressures, changes in product and service mix, results from litigation, the
timely development and acceptance of new products and services, changes in
customer preferences and inventory risks due to shifts in market demand.

Revenues for the first quarter of 1996 were $4.9 million, or 15%, higher than 
those reported during the same period last year.  This increase relates 
primarily to increased sales of election products and services.  A significant
portion of the Company's revenues from election products and services are
subject to a two year business cycle.  Revenues from these products and 
services are typically higher in even-numbered "election" years as opposed 
to odd-numbered "non-election" years.

Due primarily to the foregoing, revenues from election products and services
increased by $6.7 million, or 103%, when compared to the previous year.  Sales
of election systems were $5.4 million during the first quarter, an increase
of $3.5 million as compared to the same quarter during the previous year.  
Sales of election systems during the quarter included a $4.2 million sale to
Maricopa County, Arizona.  Due to increased public election activity, the
Company also experienced significant increases in the ballots, booths and
supplies sales areas, which grew to $4.3 million during the quarter, an
increase of $2.7 million.  The Company's inventories decreased by $2.1 million
during the quarter ended March 31, 1996, due primarily to the sale of election
systems.

Revenues from technology outsourcing services increased by $0.4 million, or
2%, as compared to the same period last year.  The majority of this increase
relates to increased sales of the Company's automated emergency department
systems and vision care software to its Health Care customers.

The Company's revenues associated with governmental records management were
down $0.9 million, or 17%, as compared to the same period last year.  These
decreases relate primarily to the discontinuance of government records
management services to the Office of Recorder, Cook County, Illinois ("Cook
County") during the fourth quarter of 1995.  Cook County accounted for $0.6
million in revenues during the first quarter of 1995.  Other decreases in
revenues from governmental records management relate to the sale of certain
of the Company's customer accounts in the Texas region during the third
quarter of 1995.

Revenues from other products and services decreased $1.4 million as compared
to the same period last year.  This decrease was due to the discontinuance of
a tape media sale and repair business, as well as the sale during December of
1995, of a business unit related to the reselling of a variety of public
records data to nationwide credit bureaus and other providers of information
retrieval services.

The Company's gross margin reported for the first quarter of the current year,
and the same quarter last year were consistent at 28%.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues for the periods
presented, were also consistent at 17%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1996, the Company had net working capital (total current assets
minus total current liabilities) of $60.0 million.  This represents a
decrease of $4.2 million as compared to the Company's working capital as of
December 31, 1995.  This decrease relates primarily to a $2.1 million
reduction in inventory levels due to increased sales of election products and
$1.0 million in the utilization of a federal income tax receivable during the
first quarter of 1996.  The Company's total current assets were 3.5 times
total current liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4.6 million as
compared to the same period last year.  This change primarily relates to
the use of $2.4 million for the production of election equipment in the first
quarter of 1995, as compared to a $2.1 million reduction in inventories 
related to election products sold during the first quarter of 1996.

Cash flows from investing activities reflect a net increase of $30.3 million
as compared to the same period last year.  This change is a result of an
$8.6 million increase in the amount of marketable securities redeemed in
1996 as compared to 1995, as well as, a $25.4 million decrease in the amount
of cash used to purchase marketable securities in 1996 as compared to the
first quarter of 1995.  A net increase in installment receivables of $3.4
million as compared to the same period last year was primarily related to the
Company's financing of election equipment sold to Maricopa County, Arizona,
in the first quarter of 1996.

Cash flows from financing activities reflect a net decrease of $2.1 million
as compared to the previous year.  This change primarily relates to a reduced
number of transactions in 1996 relating to exercise of employee stock options.

The Company currently anticipates continuing positive cash flows from
operations and additions to capital associated with employee stock option
exercises during the short-term.  Long-term cash flow trends may be affected
by acquisitions, changes in industry trends or other factors which cannot be
estimated at this time.  At this time, the Company believes its cash and
investment balances are sufficient to meet currently foreseeable working
capital commitments.  The Company does not maintain an active line of credit.
