           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 1997 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, 1988 and the results of operations
     and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. These
     adjustments include recurring accruals and a pro rata portion of certain
     estimated expenses.  The results of operations for the three months ended
     March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year.  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.

     Revenue Recognition - In October 1997, Statement of Position 97-2,
     "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2") was issued and addresses
     software revenue recognition matters primarily from a conceptual level
     and does not include specific implementation guidance.  SOP 97-2
     supersedes SOP 97-1 and is effective for transactions entered into for
     fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  However, on March 31,
     1998, Statement of Position 98-4 ("SOP 98-4") was issued, which defers
     for one year the effective date of certain provisions of SOP 97-2.  The
     Company believes it is currently in compliance with the standard
     established by SOP 97-2.

     Comprehensive Income - In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 130, "Comprehensive Income" was issued.  This statement was
     adopted by the Company effective January 1, 1998.  The Company has no
     comprehensive income to report for the periods presented.  The Company
     will show any future comprehensive income amounts as a component of the
     Consolidated Statements of Shareholder's Equity.
     
2.   The provision for income tax is based on the estimated annual rate. 
     Certain reclassifications of the March 31, 1998 balances between current
     income tax and deferred income tax may be necessary at year end to reflect
     the annual computation of differences between book and tax income.

3.   Inventories consist of the following:

                                             March 31,       December 31,
                                                1998             1997

     Finished goods. . . . . . .            $ 1,360,000      $ 1,438,000

     Net inventories . . . . . .            $ 1,580,000      $ 1,585,000

<PAGE>P-6
4.   On February 28, 1998, a subsidiary of the Company purchased the assets and
     operations of MIDS, Inc. ("MIDS"), a Tucson, Arizona-based provider of
     specialized case management and quality measurement software and related
     services for the healthcare industry.  MIDS was purchased for $3.4 million
     in cash and $3.8 million in common stock.  In connection with the
     purchase, the Company recorded $4.6 million in goodwill which will be
     amortized over 25 years.  MIDS had annual revenues of approximately $5.4
     million in 1997.

5.   On November 20, 1997, the Company consummated its sale of the assets of
     its election business to Election Systems and Software, Inc. ("ES&S") a
     privately-held information systems company headquartered in Omaha,
     Nebraska.  As a result of the sale, the Company entered into transition
     agreements to operate the Berkeley, California and Rockford, Illinois
     facilities for a maximum period of two years.  Under its agreements, BRC
     is to be reimbursed for costs it incurs during these transition periods.
     Accordingly, the Company has continued to reflect the activity of these
     operations as a discontinued operation.  The Company had no material net
     assets of discontinued operations as of March 31, 1998.

     As contingent compensation for the sale of the business, and as a part of
     the foregoing transactions, the Company may receive a commission of up to
     $2.0 million associated with the sale of computerized vote tabulation
     equipment to a specific customer account by April 30, 1999.  In addition,
     the Company was granted the right to act as a sales representative with
     respect to sales of certain election equipment to jurisdictions within the
     continent of Africa for a period not to exceed seventy-five months from
     December 31, 1997.  Given the uncertainty as to the outcome of activities
     related to these retained rights, it cannot be ascertained whether the
     Company will receive any future amounts related thereto.

6.   During 1997, the Company repurchased 255,000 shares of its common stock,
     in open market transactions, at an average price of $33.53 per share, and
     50,000 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated purchase at
     $33.50 per share.  During 1998 and 1997, common stock was issued from
     treasury upon exercise of 39,841 and 64,496 employee stock options,
     respectively.  In connection with these exercise transactions, the
     difference between the aggregate option exercise proceeds and the
     Company's basis in the treasury stock of $12,752 and $154,000 was charged
     to retained earnings during the first quarter of 1998 and for the year
     ended December 31, 1997, respectively.  At March 31, 1998, the Company
     reflected treasury stock of $6,771,000.

7.   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
     "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") which establishes standards for
     computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS").  This statement
     requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
     income statement for entities with complex capital structures and requires
     a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
     computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS
     computation.  Basic EPS excludes the effect of potentially dilutive
     securities while diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would
     occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
     exercised, converted into or resulted in the issuance of common stock.  In
     addition, the statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data. 
     As such, EPS figures for 1997 have been restated.
<PAGE>P-7
     The following sets forth the weighted-average number of shares outstanding
     computation:

     Basic EPS

     Basic EPS data was calculated using the number of weighted-average shares
     outstanding of 14,017,000 and 14,311,000 for March 31, 1998 and 1997,
     respectively.  Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the
     weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

     On March 3, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to issue a
     100% common stock dividend to shareholders of record on March 20, 1998. 
     The distribution date for the common stock was April 6, 1998.  As a
     result, 1997 weighted-average shares and EPS data have been retroactively
     restated.

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

General Considerations

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed
may include forward-looking statements which 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, competitive factors and pricing pressures, changes in
product and service mix required by the Company's customers, results of
litigation, the timely development and acceptance of new products and services,
changes in customer preferences, inventory risks due to shifts in market demand
and costs and liabilities associated with the compliance of the Company
provided computer software and hardware with the Year 2000 date convention.
Consequently, the actual results realized by the Company could differ
materially from the statements made herein.

Discontinued Operations

On November 20, 1997, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Business
Records Corporation, consummated the divestiture of its business of providing
goods and services utilized by public authorities in the conduct of elections.
In connection with the divestiture, the Company agreed to operate its Berkeley,
California and Rockford, Illinois facilities for the benefit of the acquirers
through transition periods potentially extending to November 1999.
Accordingly, the Company has continued to reflect the activity of these
operations as a discontinued operation during the periods ended December 31,
1997 and March 31, 1998.  See Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements.
<PAGE>P-8
Revenues from election products and services constituted approximately 1% of
the Company's combined revenues from continuing and discontinued operations
during the first quarter of 1998, as compared to 15% of such revenues during
the first quarter of 1997.

Acquisitions

In February, 1998, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Pace Group,
acquired the assets and operations of MIDS, Inc. ("MIDS") for $7.2 million.
MIDS is a Tucson, Arizona-based provider of specialized case management and
quality measurement software and related services for the healthcare industry.
MIDS had revenues of approximately $5.4 million in 1997.  The purchase price
consisted of $3.4 million in cash and $3.8 million in the Company's common
stock.  See Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements.

Other Considerations

The Company believes that the successful completion of its various efforts to
become Year 2000 compliant by the year 2000 is largely dependent on the
availability of labor resources.  While the Company has not experienced
significant problems with the availability of labor resources to date, it has
been publicly speculated that labor resources are not adequate to address
reprogramming requirements and needs of the entire economy.  Assuming the
continued availability of resources, the Company does not anticipate a
significant risk associated with the completion of its Year 2000 projects.  At
this time, and based upon current labor costs, the Company has estimated its
internal costs to address Year 2000 issues at $5.5 million.  These costs are
exclusive of the costs associated with the Company's sales, marketing and other
costs related to the start up of its millennium technology services business.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

Revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter of 1998 were $2.8
million, or 11%, greater than those reported during the first quarter of 1997.
Technology outsourcing services revenues increased $3.6 million, or 25%, in
the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the first quarter of 1997, while
consulting services revenues decreased by $0.8 million, or 23%.  Millennium
services reported initial revenues of $0.8 million.

The increase in technology outsourcing services revenues of $3.6 million during
the first quarter of 1998 is primarily related to revenues generated from new
on-site systems management contracts with the cities of Carrollton, Texas and
Riverside, California.  These contracts and additional special project revenues
generated an increase in combined revenues of $2.5 million over the first
quarter of 1997.  In addition, combined revenues totaling $2.1 million were
reported by the Company's MCSI and CSI business units which were acquired in
1997 subsequent to the first quarter.  These revenue increases were offset
somewhat by decreases in revenues from outsourcing services provided to health
care accounts.  This decrease can be attributed to the attrition of on-site
systems management contracts during 1997 and 1996 which have not been replaced,
and the Company's strategy of focusing efforts to achieve revenue growth from
other products and services including government technology outsourcing and
other health care information systems areas.
<PAGE>P-9
Government records management revenues increased $0.4 million, or 7%, during
the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the first quarter of 1997.  This
increase is attributed to additional sales of indexing and micrographic
services.  In addition, the Company's Enduro Binders business unit sales
increased during the first quarter of 1998 by $0.1 million, or 7%, over the
first quarter of 1997.  Enduro provides custom record binders primarily to the
government sector.

Consulting services revenues decreased $0.8 million, or 23%, in the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period last year.  This decrease is a
result of the completion of several large, non-recurring consulting engagements
by The Pace Group during 1997.  Revenues associated with these completed
engagements totaled $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1997.  This decrease
in consulting services revenues was partially offset by revenues of $0.5
million generated by MIDS in March 1998.

During 1997 the Company sold its title services business which accounted for
other revenues during the first quarter of 1997 of $1.2 million.

The Company's gross margins for the first quarters of 1998 and 1997 were 26%
and 29%, respectively.  This decrease in margins can be attributed to lower
margins in the consulting services business where first quarter 1998 revenues
dropped by 23% when compared to the first quarter of 1997, without a
corresponding reduction of costs.  Additionally, comparative contribution
margins from services sold to health care customers decreased as the Company's
services to higher margin outsourcing accounts was replaced by lower margin
services from MCSI and CSI.  During the quarter, the Company also incurred
increased one-time costs associated with a special project for certain
governmental software client.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 20% of revenues in
the first quarter of 1997 to 19% of revenues during the first quarter of 1998. 
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company incurred significant additional
administrative cost associated with the divestiture of the election business
which was sold in November 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1998, the Company had net working capital (total current assets
minus total current liabilities) of $56.8 million.  This represents an increase
of $21.9 million in the Company's working capital since December 31, 1997.
This relates primarily to an $8.1 million increase in cash equivalents and
short-term investments necessary to meet current cash outlays; a $4.0 million
increase in accounts receivable primarily related to the acquisition of MIDS in
February 1998; and a $9.6 million reduction in accrued income taxes primarily
related to the payment of taxes associated with the sale of the elections
business.  The Company's total current assets were 3.3 times total current
liabilities.
<PAGE>P-10
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during
the first quarter of 1998 decreased by $4.1 million when compared to the first
quarter of 1997.  This change is primarily due to a decrease in other
liabilities associated with the payment of liabilities accrued at December 31,
1997 of $2.3 million.  In addition, other assets increased $1.0 million with
the prepayment of millennium consulting services offset by decreases in
accounts receivable of $0.7 million associated with the sale of the title
business in July, 1997.  The Company also reflected a reduction in employee
related receivables of $0.7 million.  Net cash used in operating activities of
discontinued operations consisted of income taxes paid in connection with the
gain on divestiture of the election business of $8.9 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations decreased
$14.4 million in the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the first quarter
of 1997.  This change is primarily a result of an $18.1 million decrease in
long-term marketable securities offset by a $3.4 million cash outlay used in
the acquisition of MIDS.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $3.9 million as compared to
the first quarter of 1997.  In the first quarter of 1997 the Company purchased
$3.3 million in treasury stock, while no such treasury stock purchases were
made in the first quarter of 1998.  In addition, cash flows from exercises of
employee stock options increased $0.5 in the first quarter of 1998 when
compared to the first quarter of 1997.

Due to continuing positive cash flows from existing operations and anticipated
continuing exercises of stock options, the Company generally foresees
experiencing positive cash flows during the coming year.

During the upcoming year, the Company may seek acquisitions or mergers to
further its strategic and financial objectives.  There can be no assurance,
however, that suitable acquisitions will be located or that any proposed
transaction will be consummated.  To the extent the Company identifies an
appropriate acquisition candidate and consummates a transaction, the Company's
cash flows and financial position could be materially affected.  Additionally,
the Company's short-term cash flows could be affected in a materially adverse
manner in the event of an unforeseen change in business conditions, material
loss associated with legal proceedings or other such events.

The Company is not currently subject to any material indebtedness or aware of
any liabilities which would cause it to believe it will be subject to a
materially adverse long-term liquidity position.  Due to the foregoing, and its
working capital position, the Company does not maintain any active lines of
credit.
