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 December 31, 1996

ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.  The results of operations for the three 
month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative 
of the results to be expected for the full year.  The balance sheet does not 
include all disclosure requirements under GAAP and should be read in 
conjunction with the September 30, 1996 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 
Systems Financial Corporation ("Triad Financial"), after elimination of 
intercompany accounts and transactions.  Financial information relating 
to the Company's combined leasing operations is presented in Note 7.

include allowances for doubtful accounts of $1,940,000 and $1,980,000, 
respectively.

4.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) 
or market and include amounts which ultimately may be capitalized as 
equipment or service parts.

			Triad Systems Corporation
	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
			  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
	   First Quarter F/Y 1997 compared to First Quarter F/Y 1996


Results of Operations

Summary

Revenues of $41.7 million for the first quarter of FY 1997 increased 2.0% 
from $40.9 million in the first quarter of FY 1996.  Operating income was 
$2.6 million, or 6.3% of revenues, compared to $4.0 million, or 9.8% of 
revenues.  Net income was $.8 million for the first quarter of FY 1997 
compared to $1.5 million.  Earnings per share were 5 cents compared to 
9 cents in the same period of 1996.

Automotive Aftermarket Revenues

The Automotive Aftermarket consists of manufacturers, warehouse distributors, 
parts stores and independent and chain repair outlets.  Revenues are 
primarily derived from the sale and financing of systems and related 
information and support services.  For the first quarter of FY 1997,  
Automotive Aftermarket revenues declined 3.4% to $23.0 million from 
$23.8 million.  

Systems sales decreased to $5.7 million from $6.1 million, reflecting an 
earlier consolidation of the Automotive sales force.  Automotive Aftermarket 
revenues appear to be impacted by the pending merger with Cooperative 
Computing, Inc., as a number of customers in the large account segment of the 
aftermarket delayed purchasing decisions.  (See the subsequent events section 
for further discussion).  Revenues were also affected by a change in service 
dealer systems strategy to provide our customers with the option of 
purchasing only the software, excluding hardware, at a lower sales price.  
In prior periods, the sales included both hardware and software.

Customer support revenues of $8.5 million were $.3 million below a year ago, 
reflecting reduced new automotive systems sales and a reduction of the 
customer base due to continuing consolidation within the aftermarket.

Information Services revenues increased 6.4% to $7.6 million from 
$7.2 million a year ago, due primarily to a continuing increase in the 
customer base and continued growth in the international market.   

Triad Systems Financial Corporation ("Triad Financial," a wholly-owned 
subsidiary) revenues related to the Automotive Aftermarket declined 33.7% to 
$1.1 million in the first quarter of FY 1997 from $1.7 million.  In the 
first quarter of FY 1997, the amount discounted was nearly $3.6 million less 
than a year ago, which caused a decline in the discounting revenues.

Hardlines & Lumber Market Revenues

The Hardlines & Lumber Market consists of manufacturers, hardware stores, 
home centers, lumber and building supply outlets and paint and decorating 
retailers.  Revenues increased 15.1% to $18.0 million from $15.7 million in 
the first quarter of FY 1996.

Systems revenues decreased 3.1% to $7.9 million from $8.1 million over the 
prior year.  Sales of new systems were down from the prior year due primarily 
to rebuilding of sales prospects following the record fourth quarter of 
FY 1996 and management realignment in the first quarter of FY 1997 due to 
the integration of Computer System Dynamics, Inc. ("CSD").  Additionally, 
the market may have experienced some delays due in part to a first quarter 
announcement of a proposed merger of two of the cooperative wholesalers in 
the Hardlines market.

Customer support revenues increased $2.4 million or 40% to $8.5 million in 
the first quarter of this year.  This increase can be attributed to a higher 
support base in the Company's traditional customer base as well as the 
acquisition of CSD at the end of the third quarter of FY 1996.

Information services revenues increased $.3 million to $.8 million in the 
first quarter of FY 1997 compared to $.5 million a year ago.  Triad's Vista 
point of sale (POS) services continue to contribute to this growth as its 
base of clients expands.

Triad Systems Financial Corporation revenues declined from $1.0 million to 
$.8 million in the first quarter of this year, due primarily to a decline in 
the leases discounted.

Cost of Systems and Services

Gross margins for the Automotive Aftermarket of 46.3% reflected a slight 
decline of .8% from the first quarter of FY 1996.  This slight decline was 
primarily due to an increase in installation costs in customer support and 
increase in catalog expense in information services due to lower 
capitalization.  Gross margins for the Hardlines and Lumber Market dropped 
to 45.3% in the first quarter of FY 1997 compared to 51.7% in FY 1996.  This 
decline reflects an increase in lower margin sales to existing customers as 
compared to new account activity which has higher margins.  Additionally, 
there have been investments in the customer services area to sustain a 
growing customer base as well as costs related to the acquisition of CSD.  
The gross margin decline was partially offset by improved information 
services margins.

Consolidated Expenses and Other Income

Marketing expense of $11.2 million remained fairly consistent with the first 
quarter of FY 1996 in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue.

Product development expenses after capitalization of software development 
increased $.4 million to $2.4 million in the first quarter of FY 1997.  As a 
percentage of revenue, product development expense increased only 1% from 
the first quarter of the prior year.

General, administrative and other operating expenses were $2.7 million for 
the period, an increase of 15.8%.  In the first quarter of FY 1996, the 
Company benefited from a reduction in  accruals needed for future tax 
liabilities.  In addition, higher expenses from the newly acquired CSD 
increased the costs when compared to a year ago.

Interest and other expenses decreased by $.3 million to $1.2 million for the 
period.  This reduction is primarily attributed to lower cost debt, which 
was partially offset by the sale of 4.1 acres to a company which plans to 
begin construction of a hotel on the property later this year.

Subsequent Event

On October 17, 1996, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement 
with Cooperative Computing, Inc. ("CCI"), a Texas corporation, under  which 
CCI Acquisition Corporation, ("CAC"), a Delaware corporation jointly owned 
by CCI and Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, a private investment firm 
located in Dallas, Texas, would acquire the Company.  Pursuant to the terms 
of the merger agreement, CAC commenced a cash tender offer for all 
outstanding shares of the Company at a price of $9.25 per share on 
October 23, 1996.  The tender offer, which was to have expired at 
12:00 Midnight, Eastern Standard time, November 20, 1996, has been extended 
several times and most recently until 10:00 A.M., Eastern Standard time, on 
Friday, February 19, 1997.  Upon completion, the tender offer period is to 
be followed by a merger, in which any shares of the Company's common stock 
that remain outstanding after the tender offer will be exchanged for cash 
under the same terms as the tender offer.  Extension of the tender offer was 
made to provide additional time for the Federal Trade Commission to complete 
its review of the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust 
Improvements Act.

In addition to the cash consideration to be received by the Company's 
shareholders pursuant to the tender offer or the merger transaction, the 
merger agreement provides that the Company's shareholders of record 
immediately prior to the consummation of the tender offer will receive a 
dividend consisting of their pro rata share of the equity of a newly formed 
company whose assets will consist of all the Company's owned real property 
located in Livermore, California.  This includes its corporate headquarters 
buildings and land held for sale in the Triad Park development.  The spun-off 
real estate entity, which the Company expects to be a public company, will 
assume all the indebtedness currently secured by the spun-off real estate 
and will lease the corporate headquarters buildings to the Company's 
post-merger successor.  The real estate entity is expected to liquidate 
its real estate portfolio, with proceeds used to pay expenses (including 
taxes) and repay secured debt.  Remaining proceeds are to be distributed to 
the equity holders.  The Company's ability to market this property is 
dependent upon interest rates, general economic and market conditions, the 
prospective purchaser's ability to develop the property and the purchaser's 
ability to obtain a variety of governmental approvals, none of which is 
assured and all of which are subject to objections from the public.  In 
anticipation of the pending merger, the Company reclassified $4.9 million to 
Land for Resale from Property, Plant and Equipment on its balance sheet at 
December 31, 1996.

Future Operating Results

Future operating results will depend upon conditions in its markets that may 
affect demand for its products, and upon the Company's ability to introduce 
products and enhancements on a timely basis.  Results will also be affected 
by seasonal changes in product demand, market acceptance of new products and 
enhancements, the size and experience of the sales force and the mix of 
products sold.  All could cause operating results to fluctuate, especially 
on a quarterly basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes available cash resources, primarily generated from 
operations, marketable securities, lease discounting and credit lines, will 
provide adequate funds to finance foreseeable operating needs.  The Company 
maintains $25.8 million in a bank line of credit and there were outstanding 
borrowings of $15.8 million at December 31, 1996.

The senior fixed rate notes and the line of credit agreements contain 
restrictive covenants regarding payment of dividends, incurrence of 
additional debt and maintenance of consolidated tangible net worth and 
certain financial ratios.  In the event the Company is unable to meet these 
covenants, accelerated repayments could be required.  At December 31, 1996, 
the Company received a waiver on the credit line covenants because of its 
failure to meet the equity requirements and the current and quick ratios.  
Due to the pending merger, the Company has been unable to renegotiate the 
line of credit with the bank.  The bank may be a participant in the funding 
for the merger and as a result, a waiver was granted.  Management 
anticipates that if the merger is not successful, it will be able to 
renegotiate the line of credit documents so that it meets the covenant 
requirements.

Triad Financial financed $6.1 million in Triad equipment during the first 
quarter of FY 1997 in addition to $3.2 million in non-Triad equipment 
through client lease programs.  Triad Financial received $12.8 million of 
proceeds from discounting leases during the first quarter compared to 
$18.6 million during the same period in 1996.

Limited and full-recourse discounting agreements are maintained with banks 
and lending institutions.  Discounting agreements contain certain 
restrictive covenants that allow Triad Financial to discount only while in 
compliance with such covenants.  In the event of non-compliance, the banks 
and lending institutions could assume administrative control of the 
Company's lease portfolio and prohibit further discounting under the 
available credit facilities. Management believes that it will maintain 
compliance with such covenants in the foreseeable future.  Under the 
discounting agreements, Triad Financial is contingently liable for losses 
in the event of lessee nonpayment.  The agreements provide for limited 
recourse of up to 15% or full recourse at 100% of discounting proceeds, 
depending on the credit risk associated with specific leases.  At 
December 31, 1996, the portfolio available for discounting was $15.8 million 
and commitments for $46.1 million in discounting lines were available.

Capital equipment expenditures, excluding capitalized leases, were 
$.7 million during the first quarter of FY 1997, an increase of $.1 million 
over the prior year.

During fiscal 1994, the Company established a Stock Ownership By Management 
policy to further align the executive officers' interests with those of the 
Corporation's shareholders.  The stock ownership equivalent is based upon 
1993 compensation, ranging from 100% of base compensation to 200% of total 
compensation, depending upon the position held within the Company.  Each 
officer must meet their respective stock ownership level within a three to 
five year period.  All six of the current executive officers required to 
meet the stock ownership target by October 1, 1996.

During June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
No. 125 (SFAS No. 125), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial 
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  This standard establishes 
consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that 
are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  The Company is 
reviewing the requirements of the pronouncement and its effect on lease 
discounting including any administrative organizational changes to insure 
continued sales accounting treatment for these transactions.  SFAS No. 125 
will become effective for transactions that the Company enters in the 
second quarter of FY 1997.
