On February 11, 1999, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey in Camden disapproved the Company's reorganization plan
and converted the Chapter 11 proceedings into proceedings under Chapter 7. The
Court appointed Andrew Sklar Trustee on February 22, 1999. Because of
transitional problems posed by this conversion of the proceedings, the Company
was unable to timely meet its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
[1] Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification
Andrew Sklar 609 482-7900
[Name] [Area Code] [Telephone No.]
[2] Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15[d] of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months [or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports] been filed? If answer is no,
identify report[s]. /X/ Yes / / No
[3] Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
/X/ Yes / / No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
AW Computer Systems discontinued operations on March 10, 1998 and filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code on May 5, 1998.
On February 11, 1999, the United States Bankruptcy Court disapproved the
Company's reorganization plan and converted the Chapter 11 proceedings into
proceedings under Chapter 7. The Court appointed Andrew Sklar Trustee on
February 22, 1999. The conversion from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 and the recent
appointment of the Trustee make any attempt to estimate results impossible.

has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned
thereunto duly authorized.
Date: April 28, 1999 By: /s/ Andrew Sklar
