<PAGE>P-4                   BRC HOLDINGS, INC.
       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (Unaudited)

1.   The interim consolidated condensed financial statements included herein
     have been prepared by BRC Holdings, Inc. (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 1996 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, 1997 and the results of operations
     and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. 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, 1997 to reflect the annual
     computation of differences between book and tax income.

3.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
     year.

4.   Inventories consist of the following:
                                              March 31,      December 31,
                                                 1997             1996    
     Finished goods. . . . . . . .          $   110,000      $   243,000 
     Raw materials and supplies. .            1,214,000        1,219,000 
     Net inventories . . . . . . .          $ 1,324,000      $ 1,462,000 


5.   On November 21, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
     sell the assets of its election business to American Information Systems,
     Inc., ("AIS") a privately-held information systems company headquartered
     in Omaha, Nebraska.  Accordingly, this business is reported as a
     discontinued operation for accounting purposes and has been presented in
     the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as "net assets of discontinued
     operations" and as "discontinued operations" in the Consolidated Condensed
     Statements of Income.

     Closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfactory conclusion of a
     review currently being conducted by the United States Department of
     Justice, Antitrust Division ("DOJ") pursuant to its authority under the
     Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act.  While the outcome of this
     review cannot be determined at this time, the Company currently believes
     the ultimate result will not preclude consummation of the planned
     transaction.
<PAGE>P-5
     Subject to changes in the net book value of the election business through
     the date of closing, the agreement provides for the payment by AIS of
     consideration consisting of $35 million in cash, $17.5 million in a
     subordinated note and 19.9% of the resulting equity of AIS.  The Company
     anticipates recording a pre-tax gain associated with transaction of
     approximately $30 million.

     The net assets of discontinued operations are summarized as follows

     common stock in open market transactions, and 50,000 shares of its common
     stock in a privately negotiated purchase, at an average price of $33.11
     per share for a total of $7.0 million.

 Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain information contained herein may include 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 pressures, changes
in product and service mix, results of litigation, the timely development and
acceptance of new products and services, the outcome of regulatory reviews of
the Company's planned divestiture of its election business, changes in customer
preferences and inventory risks due to shifts in market demand.  Consequently,
the actual results realized by the Company could differ materially from the
statements made herein.  Readers of this report are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements made herein.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

Revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter of 1997 were
approximately $1.0 million, or 4.1%, higher than those reported during the same
period last year.  Including revenues of the Company's discontinued operations
of its election business, revenues for the first quarter of 1997 would have
decreased $8.0 million, or 21.1% over the first quarter of 1996.  A significant
portion of the Company's historical revenues has been derived from election
products and services which 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.  The Company
believes the divestiture of its election business will result in a less
cyclical revenue and earnings trend for the Company.  (See Note 5 to the
unaudited financial statements).  In addition to a discussion of the results
from the Company's continuing operations, the financial results of the election
business are discussed below.

Revenues from health care technology services for the first quarter of 1997
decreased by $3.1 million, or 29%, as compared to the first quarter of 1996. 
This decrease relates primarily to the loss of certain health care technology
outsourcing contracts in the third quarter of 1996.  The Company anticipates,
from time to time, that existing customers will not renew their contracts upon
the expiration thereof.  These contracts produced $3.9 million of revenue in
the first quarter of 1996.  This loss of revenue has been partially offset by
increased sales of the Company's automated emergency department systems and
information services to its health care customers.

The Company's first quarter revenues associated with government records
management were consistent with the first quarter of 1996 at $4.1 million.

Consulting services revenues were $3.5 million for the first quarter of 1997
representing 11.7% of the total revenues.  Prior to the fourth quarter of 1996,
consulting services did not constitute a significant portion of the Company's
business.  Increased consulting services revenues can primarily be attributed
to the Company's September 1996 acquisition of The Pace Group, Inc., a managed
care consulting firm.

The Company's millennium services group, established in the fourth quarter of
1996 to address the Year 2000 conversion consulting needs of customers, was in
the start up phase during the first quarter of 1997, and, thus did not
contribute revenues to the Company.
<PAGE>P-7
First quarter 1997 revenues from election products and services decreased $8.8
million, or 68%, when compared to the first quarter of 1996.  This decrease can
be partially attributed to reduced customer purchase decisions due to the
pending sale of the elections business to American Information Systems, Inc.
pursuant to the definitive agreement entered into in November, 1996 (See Note 5
to the unaudited financial statements).  The transaction is currently under
review by the Anti-trust Division of the United States Department of Justice
("DOJ").  This review combined with the natural two-year business cycle of the
election business have contributed to the significant decrease in election
products and services revenues.

Revenues from other products and services during the first quarter of 1997
increased $0.1 million when compared to the first quarter of 1996.  The
Company's Enduro Binders business unit increased revenues by $0.3 million over
the first quarter of 1996 while title services reflected a $0.2 million
decrease.

The Company's gross margins for the first quarters of 1997 and 1996 were 29%
and 27%, respectively.  The increase in 1997 gross margin over 1996 can be
attributed to cost reductions in the Company's health care division.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased from 14% of revenues in the
first quarter of 1996 to 21% of revenues during the first quarter of 1997.
This increase primarily relates to additional administrative costs associated
with the DOJ's review of the pending sale of the election business, as well as
start up costs associated with the Company's millennium services group.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 1997, the Company repurchased an additional 160,000
shares of its common stock in open market transactions, and 50,000 shares of
its common stock in a privately negotiated purchase, at an average price of
$33.11 per share for a total of $7.0 million.  The Company may repurchase its
common stock from time to time to offset shares issued in connection with the
exercise of employee stock options, as a result of evaluation of alternative
investments for its cash balances and for other purposes as may be deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1997, the Company had net working capital (total current assets
minus total current liabilities) of $48.1 million.  This represents a decrease
of $9.9 million in the Company's working capital since December 31, 1996.  This
decrease relates primarily to a $9.4 million reduction in cash equivalents and
short-term investments which were invested in long-term instruments.  The
Company's total current assets were 3.1 times total current liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during the
first quarter of 1997 decreased by $0.9 million when compared to the first
quarter of 1996.  This decrease can be attributed to lagging accounts
receivable collections in the first quarter of 1997 and a decrease in accrued
employee-related liabilities. 
<PAGE>P-8                             
Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations reflect a net
decrease of $15.2 million when compared to the first quarter of 1996.  This
change is primarily a result of a $15.8 million increase in the amount of
marketable securities purchased and a $4.0 million decrease in investment
redemptions in 1997 as compared to 1996.  This was offset by a net decrease in
installment receivables of $2.8 million as compared to the same period last year
which can be primarily attributed to a large equipment financing transaction in
the first quarter of 1996.  In addition, capital expenditures decreased $1.2
million during the first quarter of 1997 when compared to the first quarter of
1996. 

Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations reflect a net
decrease of $2.3 million as compared to the first quarter of 1996.  This change
is primarily a result of treasury stock purchases by the Company in the first
quarter of 1997 of $3.3 million offset by additional cash flows from the
exercise of employee stock options and a reduction in principal payments on
long-term obligations.

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
anticipated 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.

Item 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Currently, the Company holds the majority of its investments in a variety of
U.S. Government treasury issues, low-risk money market instruments and tax-
exempt municipal bonds.  It is the Company's investment policy to hold such
instruments until maturity.  Due to the foregoing investment profile, the
Company believes it currently has minimal market risk associated with its
investments.
