                               BRC HOLDINGS, INC.

                                  COMMON STOCK

     The 432,835 shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share (the 
"Common Stock"), of BRC Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") to which this 
Prospectus relates (the "Shares") are being offered on behalf of and for the 
account of certain stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") of the Company.  
The Company anticipates that the Shares will be offered for sale until the 
earlier of (i) the sale of all of such Shares or (ii) September 5, 1999.  The 
Company has agreed to pay substantially all of the expenses of registration 
in connection with this offering but will not receive any of the proceeds 
from the sale of the Shares being offered hereby.  All brokerage commissions 
and other similar expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be borne 
by the Selling Stockholders.  The aggregate proceeds to the Selling 
Stockholders of the Company from the sale of the Shares will be the purchase 
price of the Shares sold, less the aggregate brokerage commissions and 
underwriters' discounts, if any, and other expenses of issuance and 
distribution not borne by the Company.  See "Use of Proceeds," "Plan of 
Distribution" and "Selling Stockholders."

     The Common Stock is included in the Nasdaq Stock Market's National 
Market (the "Nasdaq National Market") under the symbol "BRCP."  On September 
18, 1996, the last reported sales price for the Common Stock was $33.50 per 
share.

     This offering is currently not being underwritten.  However, the Selling 
Stockholders, brokers, dealers or underwriters that participate with the 
Selling Stockholders in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed 
"underwriters," as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended (the "Securities Act"), and any commissions received by brokers, 
dealers, agents or underwriters and any profit on the resale of the Shares 
purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts 
under the Securities Act.  It is anticipated that all Shares being offered 
hereby, when sales thereof are made, will be made in one or more transactions 
(which may involve one or more block transactions) through customary 
brokerage channels, either through brokers acting as brokers or agents for 
the sellers, or through dealers or underwriters acting as principals who may 
resell the Shares in the Nasdaq National Market or in privately negotiated 
sales, or otherwise, or by a combination of such methods of offering.  Sales 
may be made either at market prices prevailing at the time of the sales or at 
negotiated prices.

     To the extent required, the specific number of Shares to be sold, the 
purchase price, the public offering price, the names of any such agents, 
dealers or underwriters and any applicable commissions or discounts with 
respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus 
Supplement.

                                   THE COMPANY

     BRC Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") provides a variety of information 
management and data processing products and services to local governments and 
health care institutions through two wholly owned subsidiaries:  Business 
Records Corporation, Inc. and BRC Health Care, Inc. (formerly known as CMSI, 
Inc.).  The Company's products and services can be classified into four major 
categories:  (1) technology outsourcing services, (2) election products and 
services, (3) governmental records management, and (4) other products and 
services.  The majority of these products and services are distributed on a 
direct basis.  In addition to these direct sales organizations, the Company 
also sells certain binders and local government office supplies through a 
distribution network and a telemarketing organization.  The Company's 
executive offices are located at 1111 West Mockingbird Lane, Suite 1400, 
Dallas, Texas 75247, and its telephone number at that address is (214) 
688-1800.

                                 RISK FACTORS

     PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING 
INFORMATION, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS 
PROSPECTUS AND ANY PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT, BEFORE PURCHASING THE SHARES 
OFFERED HEREBY.

COMPETITION 

     The market for information management services is intensely competitive. 
The Company's major competitors for its technology outsourcing services are 
other providers of information systems outsourcing services.  Some of these 
competitors are substantially larger and have greater resources than the 
Company.  The Company's major competitors for its other products and services 
are typically small, regional providers of software products and services 
which compete with the Company in certain market areas based primarily on 
price.  The Company is routinely subject to competitive bidding.  Management 
believes that the Company's competitiveness is directly related to its 
ability to maintain effective pricing and service.  There can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to compete successfully with existing or future 
competitors or that existing competition in the Company's markets will not 
intensify.  Finally, many businesses or governmental entities who constitute 
the Company's target market elect, or may elect in the future, to provide 
information management services internally, through existing or new 
departments.  To the extent that the Company's potential customer base elects 
to provide or continue providing information management services internally, 
the market for the Company's services will be reduced.

SEASONAL AND OTHER VARIATIONS

     Due to the nature of the Company's election products and services 
business, the Company's revenues have historically increased in 
"even-numbered" years due to congressional and presidential elections and the 
related increase in the demand for election products and services.  
Conversely, the revenue reported by the Company in "odd-numbered" years from 
election products and services has historically tended to decrease.  
Additionally, because the volume of real estate transactions tends to be 
higher from February through October than in the months of November through 
January, the revenues generated by governmental records management products 
and services are somewhat seasonal.  Since the Company's fixed operating 
expenses do not typically decrease proportionately during the seasonal and 
"odd-numbered" year lows in revenue, the Company's profitability is also, 
generally, at its lowest level at these times.

TECHNOLOGY OUTSOURCING SERVICES CONTRACTS

     When providing technology outsourcing services, the Company typically 
enters into multi-year contracts with its customers.  Because of the size and 
duration of such contracts, the termination or non-renewal of a contract by a 
customer could have a material adverse impact on the Company's revenues from 
its technology outsourcing services.  Although the Company 

                                       4 
<PAGE>

generally believes its relationships with its existing technology outsourcing 
services customers to be good, there can be no assurance that its customers 
will not terminate or fail to renew their contracts with the Company.  
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
attract new customers on contractual terms substantially equivalent to those 
it has with existing customers.

GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

     Revenues from the Company's governmental records management products and 
services are materially affected by changes in the volume of nationwide real 
estate transactions which, in turn, are largely dependent upon general 
economic conditions existing in the United States at any particular time.  To 
the extent economic and other factors affect real estate sales nationwide, 
the Company's revenues associated with governmental records management 
products and services may be affected in a similar fashion.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     During recent years, numerous legislative proposals have been introduced 
or proposed in Congress and in some state legislatures that would effect 
major changes in the U.S. health care system nationally and at the state 
level.  Among the proposals under consideration are cost controls on 
hospitals, insurance market reforms to increase the availability of group 
health insurance to small businesses, requirements that all businesses offer 
health insurance coverage to their employees and the creation of a single 
government health insurance plan that would cover all citizens.  In addition, 
Congress continues to consider proposals to modify the Medicare and Medicaid 
programs, primarily to reduce the cost thereof to the government.  It is not 
clear at this time what proposals will be adopted, if any, or, if adopted, 
what effect, if any, such proposals would have on the Company's business.  
Since many of the Company's customers are health care related entities, there 
can be no assurance that currently proposed or future health care legislation 
or the changes in the administration or interpretation of governmental health 
care programs will not have a material adverse effect on the financial 
results or operations of the Company.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND DELAWARE LAW

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains, among 
other things, a provision authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred 
stock.  The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable 
flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate 
purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party 
to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company.  
Furthermore, certain provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation 
and of Delaware law could delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer 
or proxy contest involving the Company.

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS



                                       5 
<PAGE>

     Although the Company has not experienced any significant product 
liability, errors and omissions, or other related claims, the sale and 
support of the Company's products and services may entail risk of such 
claims.  Although the Company does maintain certain product liability, errors 
and omissions, and general liability insurance, and the Company routinely 
structures its contracts to include limitations of its liability, a 
successful claim brought against the Company could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

DEPENDENCE ON EXISTING MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES 

     The Company is dependent in large part on the experience, knowledge and 
customer relationships of existing management and key sales and marketing 
personnel.  The loss of the services of any one or more of the Company's 
current executive officers, senior managers, or senior sales and marketing 
personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the Company.  
Additionally, due to the service nature of the Company's business, the 
Company's success is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain 
qualified employees to develop and operate its business.  The Company 
generally has not entered into any employment agreement with, or obtained 
keyman life insurance for, any of its existing management or key employees.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

     Upon the sale of all of the Shares offered hereby, 6,931,891 shares of 
Common Stock will be outstanding, substantially all of which will be freely 
tradeable without restriction.  In addition, at September 5, 1996, 1,799,524 
shares of Common Stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding 
employee and director stock options (of which 886,872 were exercisable on 
such date) and options exercisable for 310,403 shares of Common Stock remain 
available for grant under the Company's various stock option plans.  Any 
shares issued upon the exercise of stock options may be freely sold in the 
public market (except to the extent issued to affiliates of the Company).  
Any future sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the open market by 
the Selling Stockholders, by employees or directors exercising stock options, 
by stockholders whose shares have been registered with the Commission, by the 
Company or by other stockholders may adversely impact the market price of the 
Common Stock.

CHANGES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY

     The Company relies upon computerized software and hardware to deliver 
the vast majority of its products and services.  While the Company routinely 
updates its products and trains its personnel to incorporate and rely upon 
advances in computer technology, significant changes or advancements in 
computer technology, to the extent not rapidly incorporated by the Company, 
could cause obsolescence of the Company's existing products and could 
negatively impact the Company's ability to compete for certain service 
contracts.  In addition, technological change has significantly affected in 
the past, and can be expected to significantly affect in the future, both 
demand for the Company's services and the manner in which they are delivered. 
No assurance 

                                       6 
<PAGE>

can be given that changes in technology will not render some of the Company's 
services or products unnecessary or permit the Company's customers to provide 
them less expensively internally.

LIMITED PROTECTION BY PATENTS AND COPYRIGHT

     The Company maintains only a limited number of patents pertaining to the 
products it has developed and markets.  Due to the specialized nature of the 
Company's products, the Company may be subject to increased competition in 
the event products are developed by a competitive enterprise which rely upon 
similar technologies and design features.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONDUCT OF PUBLIC ELECTIONS

     A significant portion of the Company's business involves the sale of 
equipment, supplies and services to support local government jurisdictions 
which conduct public elections.  While, as a practice, the Company does not 
directly tabulate votes or otherwise conduct public elections, and audit 
trails exist to ensure accuracy in the tabulation process, the Company may be 
subject to liabilities associated with the inaccurate tabulation of an 
election for public office to the extent such errors occur through a use of 
the Company's election products and services.

     Additionally, based on existing public laws, elections for public office 
are currently conducted by numerous local government jurisdictions throughout 
the United States through the primary use of voting at public polling places, 
or precincts.  To the extent public election laws are changed or modified 
such that voting is conducted in a different manner, through a use of 
telecommunications technology to enable remote voting, or through different 
methods, the Company may be subject to risks associated with the adaptation 
of its existing products and services to respond to such changes.

POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRY TRANSACTIONS

     Significant industry transactions such as acquisitions and dispositions 
of divisions, subsidiaries and other business transactions between and among 
participants in the information management services industry have occurred 
with some frequency in the past, and management expects this trend to 
continue in the foreseeable future.  Although the Company regularly engages 
in discussions concerning such industry transactions with other industry 
participants, the Company is currently not subject to any definitive 
agreements in this regard. Whether the Company proceeds with any of these 
discussions and whether the Company ultimately negotiates and/or consummates 
any significant industry transactions will depend, among other things, upon 
the business and prospects of the Company, industry conditions, investment 
and growth opportunities available to the Company, stock market conditions, 
availability and suitability of financing for such transactions, regulatory 
and legal considerations and other plans and requirements of the Company.  No 
assurance can be given that, if consummated, any such significant industry 
transactions could be successfully integrated into the Company's business.

                                       7 
<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Although management considers the Company to be well capitalized and to 
have adequate resources for its current business needs, many transactions 
which may present themselves in the future will be beyond the Company's 
ability to consummate absent the incurrence of debt or the issuance of 
additional equity. There can be no assurance, if the Company were to elect to 
obtain debt or equity financing for a transaction, as to the terms of any 
such debt or securities issuance or to the effect thereof upon the Company's 
operating results or financial position.

<PAGE>

                                 RECENT EVENTS

     Effective September 5, 1996, the Company acquired The Pace Group, Inc., 
a Texas corporation ("Pace"), as a wholly owned subsidiary through the merger 
(the "Merger") of BRC Merger Corp., a Texas corporation and wholly owned 
subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Corp."), with and into Pace pursuant to 
the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, Merger Corp., 
Pace and the Selling Stockholders (the "Acquisition Agreement").  As a result 
of the Merger, holders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of 
Pace, $.001 par value per share (the "Pace Common Stock"), became entitled to 
receive an aggregate of up to 432,835 shares of Common Stock, subject to 
adjustment under certain circumstances for breaches of representations and 
warranties contained in the Acquisition Agreement in exchange for all of the 
issued and outstanding Pace Common Stock.  The Company granted certain 
registration rights to the persons receiving its Common Stock in the 
Acquisition Agreement and pursuant thereto has registered for sale in the 
offering made hereby 432,835 shares of Common Stock.  The expenses of this 
registration (other than brokerage commissions and other similar expenses) 
will be paid by the Company.  See "Plan of Distribution."

     Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, none of the Selling 
Stockholders held any position or office or had any other material 
relationship with the Company within the past three fiscal years.

                              USE OF PROCEEDS

     The Shares being offered hereby are for the account of the Selling 
Stockholders.  Accordingly, the Company will not receive any of the proceeds 
from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.  See "Plan of 
Distribution."

                           SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     The following table sets forth the name of each of the Selling 
Stockholders and the number of Shares that may be offered by each.  The 
number of Shares that may actually be sold by each of the Selling 
Stockholders will be determined by each such Selling Stockholder, and may 
depend upon a number of factors, including, among other things, the market 
price of the Common Stock.  Because each of the Selling Stockholders may sell 
all, some or none of the Shares that each holds, and because the offering 
contemplated by this Prospectus is not nor is anticipated to be a "firm 
commitment" underwritten offering, no estimate can be given as to the number 
of Shares that will be held by each of the Selling Stockholders upon or prior 
to termination of this offering.  See "Plan of Distribution."  The table 
below also sets forth information as of September 5, 1996, concerning the 
beneficial ownership of Common Stock of each of the Selling Stockholders.  
All information as to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each of the 
Selling Stockholders.

     pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement.
(3)  Percentage indicated is based upon 6,931,891 shares of Common Stock
     outstanding as of September 5, 1996.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, 43,283 shares of 
Common Stock were placed in escrow (the "Escrow") with KeyCorp Shareholder 
Services, Inc. to secure and satisfy the Company's right to indemnification 
thereunder. Subject to a claim by the Company for indemnity, the Escrow shall 
remain in effect until the earlier of (1) first anniversary of effective date 
or (2) the completion of the next regularly scheduled audited financial 
statement for Pace as the surviving corporation after the Merger.  Upon 
termination of the Escrow, the remaining shares of Common Stock therein shall 
be distributed pro rata to the record holders of the Pace Common Stock 
whereupon such shares may be offered and sold in the offering made hereby.

                           PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the 
Selling Stockholders.  The Shares may be sold from time to time to purchasers 
directly by the Selling Stockholders.  Alternatively, the Selling 
Stockholders may sell the Shares in one or more transactions (which may 
involve one or more block transactions) on the Nasdaq National Market, in 
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise or in a combination of such 
transactions; each sale may be made either at market prices prevailing at the 
time of such sale or at negotiated prices; some or all of the Shares may be 
sold through broker-dealers acting as brokers or agents on behalf of the 
Selling Stockholder or to broker-dealers acting as principals for resale by 
such dealers; and 

                                       10 
<PAGE>

in connection with such sales, such broker-dealers may receive compensation 
in the form of commissions, discounts or fees from the Selling Stockholder 
and/or the purchasers of such shares for whom they may act as broker or 
agent.  It is anticipated that the Selling Stockholders will offer all of the 
Shares for sale. Substantially all of the expenses of registration incurred 
in connection with this offering are being borne by the Company, but all 
brokerage commissions and other similar expenses incurred by the Selling 
Stockholders will be borne by the Selling Stockholders.

     At the time a particular offer of Shares is made, to the extent 
required, a supplement to this Prospectus (the "Prospectus Supplement") will 
be distributed that will identify and set forth the aggregate amount of 
Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or 
names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any 
underwriter for Shares purchased from the Selling Stockholders, any 
commissions, discounts and other items constituting compensation from the 
Selling Stockholders and any commissions, discounts or concessions allowed or 
reallowed or paid to dealers, including the proposed selling price to the 
public.

     The Selling Stockholders and any dealer acting in connection with the 
offering of any of the Shares or any broker executing or selling orders on 
behalf of the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within 
the meaning of the Securities Act, in which event any profit on the sale of 
any or all of the Shares and any commissions, discounts or concessions 
received by any such dealers or brokers may be deemed to be underwriting 
commissions and discounts under the Securities Act.  Any dealer or broker 
participating in any distribution of the Shares may be required to deliver a 
copy of this Prospectus, including the Prospectus Supplement, if any, to any 
person who purchases any of the Shares from or through such dealer or broker.

     Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any 
person engaged in a distribution of the Shares may not simultaneously engage 
in market making activities with respect to the Shares for a period of nine 
business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.  The Selling 
Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and 
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including without 
limitation Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, which provisions may limit the timing of 
purchases and sales of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

     In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable, 
the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or 
licensed brokers or dealers.  In certain states, the Shares may not be sold 
unless the Shares have been registered and qualify for sale in such state, or 
unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is 
obtained. 

     Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company and the 
Selling Stockholders agreed to indemnify each other and certain affiliated 
parties from and against any losses or claims arising out of, among other 
things, (1) any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or (2) any 
material omission contained or referred to in the Registration Statement to 
which this Prospectus forms a part.  Insofar as indemnification for 
liabilities arising under the Securities 

                                       11 
<PAGE>

Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the 
Company, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed 
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such 
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is 
therefore unenforceable.

                               LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the Shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the 
Company by Arter & Hadden, Dallas, Texas.
