                          PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   INTRODUCTION

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for
the year ended June 30, 1995 and for the six months ended December 31, 1995
and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of financial position 
as of June 30,1995 and December 31, 1995 give effect to the discontinuance of 
the Company's Legal Technologies, Inc. segment.  On February 16, 1996 the 
Company sold certain assets and liabilities of Stenograph Corporation, 
including its Integrated Information Services, Inc. (IIS) division for 
$7,000,000 in cash to Pettibone Corporation.  Under the terms of the 
agreement, the Company retained certain assets and liabilities including net 
deferred tax assets and certain liabilities including certain litigation.  
The proceeds received were used to retire a portion of the Company's debt 
under its revolving credit facility.

On January 26, 1996 the Company sold certain assets of the Litigation
Sciences, Inc. (LSI) division of Stenograph Corporation for the assumption
of certain liabilities of LSI.  The Company retained LSI's accounts
receivable and liabilities under various lease obligations. 


The pro forma information is based upon the historical financial statements
of the Company giving effect to the dispositions described above and
adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma
financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the management of the Company based upon the assumptions outlined in the
accompanying notes and may not be indicative of the results that actually
would have occurred if the dispositions had occurred on the particular dates
noted on each pro forma consolidated financial statement.  The pro forma
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
related notes contained elsewhere herein.

                                  AS OF JUNE 30, 1995
                             (Dollar amounts in thousands)


EXPLANATION OF PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

(1)     Pro forma adjustments reflect the effects of the discontinuance of the
Legal Technologies, Inc. segment.  Elimination of the assets and liabilities
assumed by the purchaser is also reflected in the accompanying pro forma
consolidated balance sheet.  Also reflected is the consideration received by
the Company related to the described disposition.  The proceeds received were
used toward the reduction of debt under the Company's revolving credit
facility.

(2)     Pro forma adjustment relates to certain assets and liabilities which
were retained and reclassified subsequent to the transaction described in the
introduction.  The adjustment also reflects the estimated differences in
assets and liabilities retained and net assets sold which would arise assuming
the transactions described in the introduction were consumated as of the end
of the period presented.  Net assets of discontinued operations includes
certain deferred tax assets (approximately $1,500,000) and tax benefits
associated with the discontinued operations (approximately $8,000,000).  These
amounts are reduced by certain liabilities retained related to pending
litigation, lease obligations, and miscellaneous accrued liabilities.
