             TRIAD SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (June 30, 1994 and 1993 - Unaudited)


1. In the opinion of the Registrant, the consolidated financial 
   statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal 
   recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the 
   financial position as of June 30, 1994, and the results of 
   operations and cash flows, for the three and nine month periods 
   ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.  The results of operations for 
   the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1994, are not 
   necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
   full year.  The September 30, 1993 audited Balance Sheet was 
   restated to reflect the adoption of FAS 109 and the associated 
   change in accounting for income taxes. The current Balance 
   Sheet does not include all disclosure requirements under GAAP 
   and should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 1993 
   audited financial statements and notes thereto.

2. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
   Triad Systems Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 
   including Triad System Financial Corporation ("Triad 
   Financial")  and its subsidiary after elimination of 
   intercompany accounts and transactions. Financial information 
   relating to the Company's combined leasing operations is 
   presented in Note 5.

3. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are based on the 
   average common shares outstanding, the dilutive effect of the 
   stock options and the assumed conversion of the preferred stock 
   and exercise of warrants.  Dilution from common equivalents has 
   been further adjusted under the modified treasury stock method.

4. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
   No 109 (FAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes in the quarter 
   ended December 31, 1993, the effects of which were applied 
   retroactively October 1, 1992 (fiscal year 1993).  The adoption 
   of FAS 109 changes the Company's method of accounting for 
   income taxes from the deferred method (APB11) to an asset and 
   liability approach.  Previously the Company deferred the tax 
   effects of timing differences between financial reporting and 
   taxable income.  The asset and liability approach requires the 
   recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the 
   expected future tax consequences of temporary differences 
   between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of other assets 
   and liabilities.

   The financial statements for fiscal year 1993 have been 
   restated to reflect the change in accounting for income taxes.  
   The cumulative effect of the accounting change on deferred 
   taxes as of the beginning of fiscal year 1993 was not material.  
   The effect on the income tax provision for fiscal year ended 
   September 30, 1993 was an increase of $800,000 ($.04 per share) 
   as a result of the legislated corporate income tax rate change 
   in August 1993.



 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

5. Triad Financial is a wholly-owned subsidiary which purchases 
   Triad systems and other products and leases those products to 
   third parties under full-payout, direct financing leases.  
   Summarized financial information of the Company's combined 
   leasing operations at June 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993,

TRIAD SYSTEMS CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

Revenues generated from the company's emerging businesses, 
particularly its Information Services and Service Dealer 
operations, are primarily responsible for the increases 
attributable to record revenues for both the third quarter and 
first nine months of 1994. Earnings per share were $.13 on record 
third quarter net income of $2,201,000 before an extraordinary 
charge of $143,000 relating to the early retirement of debt. Third 
quarter 1993 comparable earnings per share were $.10 on net income 
of $1,597,000. Nine month earnings before extraordinary charges 
were $.27 on net income of $4,641,000, improving 50% from 
comparable earnings per share of $.18 on net income of $2,934,000 
during the same period last year.

The company repurchased $2.8 million of its 12.25% senior fixed 
rate notes in the third quarter and effected an early $3.9 million 
pay-down of a bank line, reducing the debt associated with its 
successful 1989 hostile takeover defense to $37.7 million from a 
high of $80 million.

Revenues

Revenues for the third quarter were a record $41.4 million, 10% 
above those in the same period last year. Systems revenues showed 
the largest dollar increase, $1.3 million, to $17.3 million 
compared to $15.9 million in the prior year. Services revenues 
rose $1.1 million to $21.1 million compared to the same period 
last year. Increasing systems and services revenues reflect 
continuing expansion of Triad's customer base, with its growing 
market presence creating opportunities for further gains in 
recurring services revenues. Finance revenues increased $1.3 
million to $3.1 million for the quarter. The company, in 
anticipation of higher interest rates, increased discounting 
activity during the period to take advantage of current yields. 

Revenues for the first nine months were a record $119.4 million, 
or 10% higher than the same period last year. Revenue improvement 
was achieved in all three primary areas of the business: services, 
products and finance. Information Services and Service Dealer 
sales showed the largest increase, a combined 29% improvement to 
$23.6 million.


                            Services

Services revenues consist of revenues from Information and 
Customer Support services and Business Products. Recurring 
revenues from Information Services and Customer Support Services 
improved to $20 million during the third quarter and to $59.7 
million during the first nine months, both 5% increases compared 
to the same periods last year. Business Products revenues, which 
reached the $1 million level for the first time, were $1.1 million 
in the third quarter and $2.9 million for the first nine months. 

Information Services revenues for the third quarter increased to 
$6.2 million, the seventh consecutive quarter of higher revenues, 
primarily due to Electronic Catalog revenues improving 23% to $4.6 
million in the third quarter and 24% to $13.3 million for the 
first nine months compared to prior year periods. The Electronic 
Catalog product revenue improvement was the result of increased 
sales to new retail Service Dealer accounts and national chain 
outlets. Telepricing Services revenues were $1.2 million in the 
third quarter and $3.8 million for the first nine months, down 
slightly from comparable periods in the prior year due to the 
prior year periods reflecting more one-time service requests. 

Customer Services revenues were $13.8 million and $41.7 million 
for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively. As 
anticipated, these revenues have decreased slightly from prior 
periods principally due to a number of automotive jobbers choosing 
to suspend support because of the jobbers' economic concerns.

Business Products revenues are generated by supplying computer 
forms and supplies to Triad's customer base. When compared to 
corresponding periods in prior years, these revenues have averaged 
over 20% growth each quarter for the past two fiscal years due to 
an expanding customer base and a broader selection of products.


                            Products

Product revenues, primarily from computer systems sold by the 
Automotive and Retail Hardgoods divisions, were $17.3 million for 
the quarter and $48.9 million for the first nine months. These 
revenues are 8% and 13% higher than the $15.9 million and $43.1 
million for the third quarter and the first nine months of the 
prior year, respectively. 

Automotive Division revenues in the third quarter were 
$10.7 million, a 6% improvement over last year. Revenues for the 
first nine months were $29.4 million, or 18% above prior year 
levels.  The improvements were primarily the result of increased 
new system sales and the company's core jobber business upgrading 
to the Triad PRISM platform. The company anticipates the increases 
in revenue generated from Triad PRISM upgrades to continue as this 
platform gains further market acceptance. Additionally, Service 
Dealer revenues in the third quarter were a record $2.1 million, 
slightly ahead of second quarter levels. Fourth quarter revenues 
are expected to remain at that level due to Triad's strategy of 
selling lower priced products to accelerate market penetration and 
increase recurring database and support revenues.  

Retail Hardgoods Division revenues increased 3% during the third 
quarter to $5.9 million and 5% during the first nine months to 
$18.8 million, as a result of increased new systems sales, when 
compared to the same periods last year. The sales efforts have 
been enhanced by Triad's marketing agreements with Distribution 
America and Pro Hardware, two of the nation's leading product 
buying groups. Each participates in Triad's Advantage marketing 
program, which encourages joint efforts to automate retail 
hardgoods stores and, since inception, has added several industry 
leaders as participants. The company continues to market systems 
to members of the national hardware wholesale operations, 
including Cotter & Co. (True Value), ACE, Servistar and HWI.


                          Finance

Finance revenues generated by Triad Systems Financial Corporation 
("Triad Financial") were $3.1 million in the third quarter and 
$7.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1994. When 
compared to the same periods in the prior year, revenues were up 
77% for the third quarter, and were up 28% for the first nine 
months. This reflects additional discounting in the third quarter 
to take advantage of discounting spreads which were available 
prior to rising interest rates. The additional discounting is 
expected to decrease fourth quarter earnings approximately equal 
to the two cents per share that was realized in the third quarter. 
The nine month results were also attributed to increased lease 
income, which resulted from a larger lease portfolio during the 
first six months when compared to the same period last year. 



Costs and Expenses

Services gross margins were 40.6% and 40.0% for the third quarter 
and first nine months of fiscal 1994, respectively. The margins 
are down slightly from comparable periods in the prior year due to 
reduced prices of alternative customer support products. Further, 
the company has increased head count in certain customer support 
areas in anticipation of the Triad PRISM B product release later 
this year. As revenues related to this increased support are 
realized, margins are expected to return to levels achieved in the 
first half of this year.

Product gross margins as a percent of system sales improved 
slightly to 55.3% during the third quarter and improved slightly 
to 54.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 1994. This improvement 
is attributed to higher systems revenue levels in Automotive, 
Hardgoods, and Service Dealer operations and from a more 
profitable product mix.

Marketing and finance expenses increased $1.2 million to $11.1 
million during the third quarter and $3 million to $31.7 million 
during the first nine months of fiscal 1994 when compared to the 
same periods last year. These expenses, as a percentage of 
revenues, rose 1% to 27% when compared to prior periods. The 
increase resulted from the company's effort to build its marketing 
capacity through investments in the recruiting, training, and 
education of new marketing representatives. 

Product development expenditures before capitalization were $2.8 
million during the third quarter and $8.6 million for the first 
nine months. These expenditures were up $.1 million and $.3 
million from the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 
1993, respectively. The increases in expenditures were the direct 
result of Triad PRISM B development efforts incurred during the 
quarter and throughout the fiscal year. Product development 
expense of $1.9 million in the third quarter was 5% lower than 
last year due to the increased capitalization of software costs 
related to the Triad PRISM B project. 

General and administrative expenses, including other operating 
income and expenses, were $2.7 million during the third quarter 
and $8.4 million for the first nine months. These expenses were 
down 5% for the quarter due to the company's insurance carrier 
absorbing the majority of litigation costs incurred as a result of 
the ongoing effort to protect the company's intellectual property 
rights. The company anticipates litigation costs to increase in 
the fourth quarter as the intellectual property rights matter 
nears the trial stage. The amount, if any, that will be reimbursed 
by the company's insurance carrier is not known at this time. 
General and administrative expense for the first nine months was 
1% higher than last year, resulting from increased recruiting 
costs related to hiring programs designed to grow the marketing 
segment of the business, along with increased employee costs 
through merit and bonus compensation. 

Interest expense during the third quarter was $1.8 million or 11% 
lower than last year due to the company's retirement of $6.7 
million in debt ahead of schedule during the quarter.


Financial Condition

Cash provided by operations during the first nine months of fiscal 
1994 was $1.6 million compared to $2.5 million in the same period 
in the prior year.

Triad Financial financed 61% of domestic Triad systems sales 
during the first nine months of fiscal 1994 compared to 60% in the 
prior year due to enhanced marketing efforts. Triad Financial 
received $48.6 million from discounting leases during the first 
nine months. Limited and full-recourse discounting agreements are 
maintained with banks and lending institutions. The discounting 
agreements contain certain restrictive covenants which allow Triad 
Financial to discount only while in compliance with such 
covenants. The company is in compliance with the restrictive 
covenants and management believes that it will maintain compliance 
with such covenants in the foreseeable future. At June 30, 1994 
the portfolio available for discounting was $22 million and 
commitments for $48.4 million in discounting lines were available. 
Under the discounting agreements, Triad Financial is contingently 
liable for losses in the event of lessee nonpayment. 

The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 109 (FAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, during the first 
quarter with the effects being applied retroactively to October 1, 
1992 (fiscal year 1993). The adoption of FAS 109 changes the 
company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred 
method (APB 11) to an asset and liability method. Previously the 
company deferred the tax effects of timing differences between 
financial reporting and taxable income. The asset and liability 
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and 
assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary 
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of 
other assets and liabilities. 

The company's debt agreement covenants automatically adjust to 
offset the impact of accounting changes; therefore, the company's 
adoption of FAS 109, which required significant balance 
sheet reclassifications, has not affected the company's ability to 
comply with these debt covenants. As of June 30, 1994, the company 
was in compliance with all debt agreement covenants. 

Capital equipment expenditures were $2.3 million during the first 
nine months of fiscal 1994. There were no material capital 
commitments at June 30, 1994.

Management believes that available cash resources, as well as the 
company's borrowing capacity, are adequate to provide funds to 
finance foreseeable needs.


Future Operating Results

The company's future results will depend upon economic conditions 
in its markets that may affect demand for its products, as well as 
the company's ability to introduce new products and enhancements. 
As a result, the company's operating results may fluctuate, 
especially when measured on a quarterly basis. Results will also 
be affected by the seasonal changes in demand for its products, 
the size and experience of the sales force and the mix of products 
sold during a given period.

  2.1  The Committee shall determine which Company employees are

initial Plan participation shall be limited to employees who 
regularly earn more than $68,000 per year in base salary,

be notified by Triad as to their eligibility to participate in

thereafter continue to be a Plan Participant even if such Key 
Employee does not subsequently satisfy the minimum earnings 
criteria for initial eligibility.

  2.3  A Key Employee shall begin participation in the Plan upon 
the first Entry Date following the date he is notified of 
eligibility to participate and following submission of an 
Election to make salary deferral contributions pursuant to 
Article III.  

  2.4  Participation in the Plan shall end when a Key Employee's 
employment terminates for any reason.  No contributions to the 
Plan shall be made with respect to compensation paid after such 
termination date.

                           ARTICLE III

                    SALARY DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTION

  3.1  (a)  A Key Employee may elect to reduce his Compensation 
by the amount set forth in an Election duly executed and filed 
with Triad.  Such Election may apply to (i) base salary and 
commissions only or (ii) bonuses only or (iii) both base salary 
plus commissions and bonuses earned on and after the Key 
Employee's Entry Date.  This Election shall continue in effect 
until such time as the Key Employee amends the Deferral Amount or 
ceases salary deferrals entirely in accordance with Section 3.2.

       (b)  The minimum Deferral Amount in any Plan Year shall 
not be less than $3,000.

       (c)  For the purpose of determining a Key Employee's 
Deferral Amount, "Compensation" shall mean the Key Employee's 
base salary plus commissions and bonuses.

  3.2  (a)  Upon written notice to Triad, a Key Employee may at 
any time cease entirely his salary deferral contributions.  As 
soon thereafter as administratively feasible, no further salary 
deferrals shall be made for the Key Employee until such time as a 
new Election may be filed pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this 
Section 3.2.

       (b)  A Key Employee may amend his salary deferral Election 
once a year upon written notice to Triad to increase or decrease 
the amount of salary deferrals. Any amendment to decrease salary 
deferrals shall be subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) 
of Section 3.1, above.  Any such amendment shall be effective on 
the first day of the next Plan Year.

  3.3  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 above, a Key 
Employee's Election to defer salary shall continue in effect 
until the earlier of the Key Employee's Normal Retirement Age, 
Total Disability, or the date the Key Employee terminates 
employment with Triad.

  3.4  Except as provided in Section 7.5 below, Deferral Amounts 
may not be withdrawn by a Key Employee and shall be paid only in 
accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

                          ARTICLE IV

       EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS/POLICY ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES

  4.1  Each Plan Year, Triad shall contribute an amount equal to 
4.5% of the Key Employee's Deferral Amount for such Plan Year.  
This amount is approximately the amount of the Plan 
administration expense which will be charged to each 
Participant's Accounts.  

  4.2  In the event the Policy administration expenses are more 
than the amount of the Employer Contribution, the Employer shall 
be under no obligation to make a greater contribution, and the 
excess Policy administration expenses shall be offset against the 
value of the Policy.

  4.3  In the event the Policy administration expenses are less 
than the Employer Contribution, any excess Employer Contribution 
shall be invested in the Policy in the same manner as the Key 
Employee's Deferral Amounts.

  4.4  Except as provided in Section 7.5 below, Employer 
Contributions may not be withdrawn by a Key Employee and shall be 
paid only in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.


                           ARTICLE V

                 INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS

  5.1  Triad shall use a Key Employee's Deferral Amounts and any 
Employer Contributions remaining after payment of the Policy 
administrative expenses to purchase the Policy and to pay 
premiums thereon.  Triad shall have no obligation to pay any 
amounts for the Policy in excess of these Deferral Amounts and 
Employer Contributions (less any amounts which Triad may be 
required to withhold under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act 
with respect to such amounts).

  5.2  Supplemental Key Employee Benefits payable under this Plan 
are measured by the value of the Policy.  Consequently, a Key 
Employee's future benefits payable under this Plan may vary 
upward and downward at any time to reflect changes in the value 
of the Policy, whether due to increases or decreases in the rate 
of return on the Policy, changes in the Key Employee's Deferral 
Amount and the amount of Employer Contributions available for 
investment after the payment of Policy administrative expenses, 
or other factors affecting the value of the Policy.

  5.3  Amounts paid into the Policy shall be invested in one or 
more of the investment funds offered by the insurance company 
maintaining the Policy in which Deferral Amounts are invested.  
Key Employees may indicate their preferences for the investment 
allocation of Deferral Amounts and Employer Contributions 
invested on their behalf.  Such preferences shall be on a form 
provided by the Committee and shall be accepted at least one time 
per month.  Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by the Policy, 
allocate amounts among the investment funds offered under the 
policy in accordance with the Key Employee's preference 
indications, but shall not be bound by such preferences.

  5.4  The Policy shall be held by the Trustee in accordance with 
the terms of the Trust Agreement and Article VII of this Plan to 
provide the benefits promised in this Plan.

                          ARTICLE VI

                      SPLIT DOLLAR OPTION

  6.1  A Key Employee may, at his option, elect to have a portion 
of the premium paid by Triad for the Policy reported in Key 
Employee's taxable income for the year in which such premium 
payment is made.  Such premium portion shall be limited to that 
which is attributable to the Death Benefit.  For the purposes of 
this Article VI, the portion of the premium attributable to the 
Death Benefit shall be the one year term insurance rate as set 
forth in Revenue Policy 55-747 (otherwise known as the PS 58 
costs) or the Insurer's current published premium rates for 
$1,000 of insurance protection for individual initial issue one 
year term life insurance available to all standard risks, 
whichever is lower.

  6.2  If a Key Employee makes the election provided for in 
Section 6.1, above, Triad shall annually furnish a statement of 
the amount of income reportable by such Key Employee for federal 
and state income tax purposes, as a result of its payment of such 
premium.

  6.3  (a)  If a Key Employee makes the election described in 
Section 6.1, above, the Key Employee shall be the owner of the 
Death Benefit payable under the Policy on the Key Employee's 
death as defined in Section 6.3(b), below.  As the owner of such 
Death Benefit, the Key Employee may select the settlement option 
of the Policy and may designate Beneficiaries to receive the 
Death Benefit by specifying the same in a written notice to 
Triad.  Upon receipt of such notice, Triad shall cause the 
Trustee, as owner of the Policy, to execute and deliver to the 
Insurer the forms necessary to elect the requested settlement 
option and to designate the requested persons as the 
Beneficiaries to receive the Death Benefit under the Policy.

       (b)  For purposes of this Section 6.3, the Death Benefit 
payable to a Key Employee's Beneficiary shall be the total 
proceeds payable under the Policy on the death of the Key 
Employee less "Triad's Portion."  Triad's Portion shall equal the 
greater of:

            (i)  the total amount of premiums paid by it under 
this Agreement (less the amount includable in Key Employee's 
income under Section 6.1), or 

            (ii)  the cash surrender value of the Policy.

       (c)  Upon a Key Employee's death, the Death Benefit shall 
be paid directly to the Key Employee's designated Beneficiary and 
Triad's Portion shall be paid to the Trustee as the owner of the 
Policy and shall be used to provide the Supplemental Key Employee 
Benefits payable under Section 7.3 of this Agreement.

                         ARTICLE VII

                           BENEFITS

  7.1  Upon the date the Key Employee reaches his Normal 
Retirement Age or upon his Total Disability, the Policy cash 
surrender value shall be used to purchase an insurance annuity 
contract.  Payments under such annuity contract shall then be made 
to the Key Employee.  Annuity benefits shall be paid over a period 
of years in accordance with subparagraphs (b) and (c) below.  

       (a)  A Key Employee may elect on his Entry Date to receive 
benefits beginning on the date he reaches his Early Retirement 
Age.

       (b)  If benefits are payable because the Key Employee is 
totally disabled, the period of years over which installments 
will be made shall be 10 years and installments shall be in 
annual payments.  A Key Employee may elect on his Entry Date to 
defer payments on account of Total Disability until all payments 
under the Triad long-term disability plan have been paid out.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Policy cash surrender value 
is less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) on the date the Key 
Employee becomes eligible for benefits, the Policy cash surrender 
value shall be paid out in a lump sum cash payment.

       (c)  If payments are made because the Key Employee has 
reached Normal or Early Retirement Age, the period of years over 
which installments will be made shall be 10 years and 
installments shall be annual payments.  Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, if the Policy cash surrender value is less than Ten 
Thousand Dollars ($10,000) on the date the Key Employee becomes 
eligible for benefits, the Policy cash surrender value shall be 
paid out in a lump sum cash payment instead of installments.  

       (d)  In the event a Key Employee dies after installment 
payments have begun but before all of the installments are paid, 
the undistributed installments shall be paid to his Beneficiary.

  7.2  In the event a Key Employee terminates employment with 
Triad prior to his Normal Retirement Age for any reason except 
death or Total Disability or early retirement upon reaching his 
Early Retirement Age, the Policy cash surrender value less any 
amounts paid by Triad for the Policy in the year of termination 
that are in excess of the Key Employee's Deferral Amounts through 
the date of the Key Employee's termination, if any, shall be 
transferred to the Key Employee in a lump sum cash payment.

  7.3  If a Key Employee dies prior to his Normal Retirement Age, 
Total Disability or other termination of employment, all accrued 
Supplemental Key Employee Benefits provided by the Policy shall 
be paid to the Key Employee's Beneficiary.  On the Key Employee's 
Entry Date, he shall select the payment method for these benefits 
from the following options:

            (i)  Annual payments over a period of years, as 
determined by the Key Employee, not to exceed the Beneficiary's 
life expectancy, to be provided by the purchase of an annuity 
contract equal in value to the Policy cash surrender value; or

            (ii)  A lump sum cash payment equal in value to the 
Policy cash surrender value.

  7.4  (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, 
upon the request of a Key Employee, (or, in the case of a 
deceased Key Employee, his Beneficiary) the Committee may direct 
the Trustee to distribute Supplemental Key Employee Benefits to 
the Key Employee or Beneficiary, as the case may be, if the 
Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that (i) the Key 
Employee or Beneficiary has suffered a financial emergency and 
has a heavy and immediate financial requirement for funds to 
cover medical expenses, tuition expenses or to avoid eviction, 
foreclosure or personal bankruptcy and (ii) that the Key Employee 
or Beneficiary cannot reasonably otherwise meet such financial 
emergency. 

       (b)  The amount distributed to the Key Employee or 
Beneficiary for a financial hardship shall not exceed the lesser 
of (i) the amount of the financial hardship, or (ii) the 
surrender Policy cash surrender value.

  7.5  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, a Key 
Employee may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, 
withdraw ninety percent (90%) of the value of the Supplemental 
Key Employee Benefits accrued under this Plan.  Upon such 
withdrawal, the remaining ten percent (10%) of the Supplemental 
Key Employee Benefits which have accrued hereunder shall be 
forfeited and the Key Employee shall have no further right 
thereto.  The Key Employee shall be prohibited from making any 
further salary deferral contributions pursuant to this Plan or 
any other supplemental key employee benefit plan for a period of 
twelve (12) months from the date of the withdrawal.  For purposes 
of this Section 7.5, the Supplemental Key Employee Benefits 
accrued under this Plan shall mean the Policy cash surrender 
value reduced by any benefits which have been previously 
withdrawn or distributed.

  7.6  Once the Trustee has transferred to the Key Employee (i) 
the Policy, (ii) all installment payments due under an insurance 
annuity contract purchased with the Policy cash surrender value 
or (iii) the entire Policy cash surrender value under this 
Article VII, neither Triad nor the Trustee shall be liable to the 
Key Employee for additional benefits under this Plan.

  7.7  All payments under this Article VII, including the value 
of the Policy transferred to the Key Employee pursuant to this 
Article VII, shall be subject to all applicable withholding for 
state and federal income tax.  In the event the Policy is 
transferred to the Key Employee, Triad and/or Trustee may require 
the Key Employee to provide for any federal or state income tax 
for which Triad may be obligated as a result of such transfer.

                        ARTICLE VIII

                        BENEFICIARIES

  8.1  A Key Employee shall have the right to designate on the 
form attached as Exhibit A a Beneficiary to receive any 
Supplemental Key Employee Benefits under Article VII which may 
remain unpaid at the Key Employee's death and/or any Death 
Benefit due on the Key Employee's death pursuant to Article VI.

  8.2  A Key Employee shall have the right at any time to revoke 
a Beneficiary designation and to substitute another such 
Beneficiary.

  8.3  If, upon the death of a Key Employee, there is no valid 
Beneficiary designation, the Beneficiary shall be the Key 
Employee's estate.


                         ARTICLE IX

     OBLIGATION TO PAY SUPPLEMENTAL KEY EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

  9.1  All Key Employee Supplemental Benefits payable hereunder 
shall be paid by the Trustee.

  9.2  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall have no 
obligation to pay benefits in excess of amounts held by the 
Trustee with respect to the Policy, including amounts obtained by 
withdrawals from the Policy, or from proceeds payable to the 
Trustee under the Policy on the Key Employee's death.

  9.3  Except as otherwise provided by the Trust Agreement, the 
Policy shall be subject to the claims of creditors of Triad and 
neither any Key Employee nor any Beneficiary shall have any legal 
or equitable interest in the Policy, or any other asset of Triad.  
The Key Employee is a general unsecured creditor of Triad with 
respect to the promises of Triad made herein, except as otherwise 
expressly provided by the Trust Agreement hereof.

                           ARTICLE X

                         MISCELLANEOUS

  10.1  The right of any Key Employee, any Beneficiary, or any 
other person to the payment of any benefits under this Plan shall 
not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered.

  10.2  This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit 
of Triad, its successors and assigns and the Key Employee and his 
heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

  10.3  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring 
upon any Key Employee the right to continue in the employ of 
Triad as an employee.

  10.4  If Triad, any Key Employee, any Beneficiary, or a 
successor in interest to any of the foregoing, brings legal 
action to enforce any of the provisions of this Plan, the 
prevailing party in such legal action shall be reimbursed by the 
other party, the prevailing party's costs of such legal action 
including, without limitation, reasonable fees of attorneys, 
accountants and similar advisors and expert witnesses.

  10.5  This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and 
governed by the laws of the State of California.

  10.6  This Plan constitutes the entire understanding and 
agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, 
and there are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, 
representations or warranties among any Key Employee and Triad 
other than those as set forth or provided for herein.
  
  10.7 (a)  This Plan may be amended by Triad in writing, 
provided, however, that no amendment may be made which would 
alter the irrevocable nature of the Election to defer 
compensation.  

       (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other 
provision in this Plan to the contrary, Triad reserves the right 
to terminate the Plan in its entirety at any time following 
fifteen (15) days notice to any participating Key Employee.  If 
the Plan is terminated, all benefits shall be paid as if the Key 
Employee had voluntarily terminated employment on the date of 
Plan termination, pursuant to the provisions in Section 7.2.  Any 
amounts remaining in the Trust after all benefits have been paid 
shall revert to Triad.

       (c)  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to 
the contrary, Triad reserves the right to discontinue this Plan 
and provide for continued compensation deferral under the terms 
of a successor plan.  If this Plan is discontinued and if 
compensation deferral continues under a successor plan, all 
amounts contributed under the Plan shall continue to be held by 
the Trustee and invested in the Policy with payouts in accordance 
with Article VII.

  10.8  Any notice to be given hereunder by either party to the 
other shall be effective either by personal delivery in writing 
or by mail, registered and certified, postage pre-paid, with 
return receipt requested.  Mailed notice shall be addressed to 
the parties at the following addresses:

                           AMENDMENT TO THE

                      TRIAD SYSTEMS CORPORATION

                        1982 STOCK OPTION PLAN


  Effective as of April 25, 1994, the Triad Systems Corporation 
Amended and Restated 1982 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is hereby 
amended as follows:

  1. Paragraph 6(e) of the Plan is amended and restated in its 
entirety as follows:

    "(e) Termination of Options.  Unless otherwise provided by the 
Board in the grant of an Option to, or by the amendment of an 
Option held by, an Optionee who is not at the time of such Board 
action an "Excluded Person" (as defined below), Options shall be 
subject to the following:

         (i) If an Optionee ceases to be an employee or director 
of the Company for any reason except death or disability, any 
Option, to the extent exercisable by the Optionee on the date on 
which the Optionee ceased to be an employee or director, may be 
exercised by the Optionee within three (3) months after the date 
on which the Optionee ceased to be an employee or director, but in 
any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option term.

         (ii) If the Optionee's employment or directorship with 
the Company is terminated because of the death of the Optionee or 
the disability of the Optionee within the meaning of section 
422(c) of the Code, any Option, to the extent exercisable by the 
Optionee on the date the Optionee ceased to be employed by or a 
director of the Company, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the 
Optionee's legal representative) at any time prior to the 
expiration of twelve (12) months from the date the Optionee ceased 
to be an employee or director, but in any event no later than the 
date of expiration of the Option term.  An Optionee's employment 
or directorship shall be deemed to have terminated on account of 
death if the Optionee dies within three (3) months of such 
termination.

          (iii) Except as provided in this paragraph 6(e), an 
Option shall terminate and may not be exercised after the Optionee 
ceases to be an employee or director of the Company.

          (iv) For purposes of this paragraph 6(e), the term 
"Excluded Person" shall mean an executive officer or director of 
the Company or a person who beneficially owns more than 10% of any 
class of equity security of the Company which is registered under 
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

  2. All other terms and conditions of the Plan shall remain in 
full force and effect.

  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of Triad Systems 
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), certifies 
that this amendment to the Plan was duly adopted by the Board of 
Directors of the Company on April 25, 1994.
