Background Information

This Form 8-K/A is amending and restating in its entirety the Form 8-K filed
by BRC Holdings, Inc. ("BRC") dated November 20, 1996 (the "Original Filing").
In the Original Filing, BRC reported combined revenues and net income for BRC
and The Pace Group, Inc. ("The Pace Group") for the ten months ended October
31, 1996.  These results were reported based upon accounting for the September
5, 1996 merger of The Pace Group with a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRC as a
pooling of interests.  Subsequent to the Original Filing, BRC filed on a
separate Form 8-K, dated December 15, 1996, a press release announcing its
agreement to divest its election systems  business unit.  Consequently, BRC's
continued treatment of the merger with The Pace Group as a pooling of interest
is not consistent with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, "Business
Combinations".  Therefore, BRC submits this Current Report on Form 8-K/A to
reflect the combined revenues and net income of BRC and The Pace Group for the
ten months ended October 31, 1996, treating the merger as a purchase for
accounting purposes.

The Original Filing is amended and restated in its entirety to reflect the
following:

Item 5.   Other Events.

wholly-owned subsidiary of BRC.  Under the terms of the agreement, BRC issued
432,835 shares of its common stock in a tax-free exchange for all of the record

Group, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, provides consulting, development and
management services to purchasers and providers of health care services.  BRC
accounted for the transaction as a purchase for accounting purposes.

The combined revenues and net loss for BRC and The Pace Group for the ten

                    NOTES TO THE COMBINED OPERATING RESULTS
                                 (Unaudited)

1.   The combined operating results included herein have been prepared by BRC
     Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "BRC") without audit.  Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements have been condensed or omitted.  These combined operating
     results should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed
     financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's 1996
     report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended September 30, 1996 and 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 combined operating results contain all adjustments necessary to
     present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the ten months
     ended October 31, 1996.  These adjustments include recurring accruals and
     a pro rata portion of certain estimated expenses.  Management believes the
     procedures followed in preparing these combined operating results are
     reasonable under the circumstances, but the accuracy of the amounts in the
     operating results 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 results of operations for the ten months ended October 31, 1996 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.   Results of operations for the ten months ended October 31, 1996 include a
     $15,266,000 pre-tax charge to earnings, primarily associated with the
     write-off of goodwill and other intangible assets of the Company's
     "HealthSource" technology outsourcing business unit within its Health Care
     division.  The charge was determined in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for Long-lived Assets".
     The charge was a result of the cancellation of certain customer
     contracts with the Sisters of Providence Health System.
