3. DISPOSITION
-----------
On December 1, 1994, Allerion Inc. (the "Company") sold its French
subsidiary to Datetec Industries ("Datatec"). The sale was effective as of
October 1, 1994, pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent executed on
October 10, 1994. The purchase price was Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($2,800,000). Of the purchase price of $2,800,000, $1,500,000 was
received at closing, $792,000 was to be paid on or before January 31, 1995
and the balance of $508,000 will be paid in twelve monthly installments,
beginning in February 1995. Of the $1,500,000 that was received at the
Closing, approximately $875,000, was paid to Hewlett-Packard Company. Of the
$792,000 to be paid on or before January 31, 1995, approximately $291,000
was paid directly by Datatec to Hewlett-Packard in January 1995, $453,000
was paid to the Company on December 30, 1994 and the balance was paid in
February 1995.
During the nine months ended January 31, 1995, the French subsidiary
contributed revenue of $7.2 million, gross margin of $1.8 million, and net
income of $0.2 million, and earnings per share of $0.02.
As of January 31, 1995, (the Balance Sheet Date), the assets, liabilities
and shareholders deficit reported on a consolidated basis on Pages 3-4 have
taken into effect the sale of the French subsidiary. The companies that are
remaining on a go-forward basis, and represent the material portion of the
Balance Sheet and Future Operations as of January 31, 1995 are the
networking company ("CSNA") and Ultimate Data Systems, Inc. ("UDS").
On June 30, 1994, the Company completed the sale of its Customer Service
Division (CSD) to Bull HN Information Systems, Inc. ("Bull"). This
transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $2.4 million. The assets
sold, net of applicable liabilities, were reclassified as net current assets
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 1994. The
book value of the reclassified assets and liabilities are as follows; net
fixed assets of $2,431,000, net intangible assets of $2,422,000, current
deferred maintenance costs of $1,628,000, prepaid costs of $121,000, less
current deferred liabilities of $4,574,000. The final purchase price of this
division amounted to $7,900,000. The proceeds from the sale were primarily
utilized to reduce accounts payable owed to Bull and Hewlett Packard,
eliminate deferred revenue associated with future service obligations
assumed by Bull and repay the Foothill Capital Corporation Term Loan as of
the date of sale.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, CSD contributed revenue of
$3.9 million, gross margin of $1.5 million, and net income, including the
gain on the sale transaction, of $3.2 million, and earnings per share of
$0.32. For further information concerning the sale of CSD and its impact on
a pro forma basis to the Company's operating results refer to Note 2 and
Note 16 in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's previously filed Form 10-K.
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
gives the effect to the disposal of CSD and France for Fiscal Year 1995 and
the disposal of CSD, France, Australia and New Zealand for Fiscal Year 1994.

-------------
Refer to Item 3, Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1994 for
a discussion of legal matters.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
-----------------
On December 7, 1994, the Company filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a
result, the New York Stock Exchange suspended trading in the Company's
common stock and the shares were delisted. The Company did not contest
such action. The financial statements contained herein are presented on a
"going concern" basis and may not be representative of the values that
would be realized in a liquidation, if any, resulting from the bankruptcy
proceeding.
While management cannot predict what values would be realized in a
liquidation, due to the large shareholder deficit, management believes
that it would be remote that any moneys would be recovered for its
shareholders.
On December 12, 1994, the Company sold approximately 467,000 shares of its
short-term investment for $75,000 under Regulation 144. The remaining
150,000 shares are restricted and is being carried at no book value due to
the permanent impairment of this investment.
The Company had previously reported an adverse award in an arbitration of
damages and fees in excess of $520,000. The award was confirmed and
finalized by the New Jersey Superior Court in September 1994. In order
that the plaintiff not execute on that judgment, the Company then entered
into a Forebearance Agreement with the plaintiff under which the Company
was to pay the judgment in installments and other payments. The Company
paid the plaintiff $330,000 of the judgment prior to filing for
bankruptcy. The Company has brought an action in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the recovery of the $330,000 as a preference payment.
On February 8, 1995, pursuant to an order of the United States Bankruptcy
Court, the Company sold all of the assets of Ultimate Data Systems, Inc.
for $1,819,350 cash, and the assumption by the buyer of $307,233 in cure
amounts and $929,759 in deferred revenue.
On March 13, 1995, also pursuant to an order of the United States
Bankruptcy Court, the Company sold the assets of its remaining operating
business, the network services division, for $1,000,000 cash and the
assumption by the buyer of $6,773 in cure amounts and $54,642 in deferred
revenue.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On December 7, 1994, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the New York
Stock Exchange suspended trading in the Company's common stock and the shares
were delisted. The Company did not contest such action. The financial statements
contained herein are presented on a "going concern" basis and may not be

resulting from the bankruptcy proceeding.
While management cannot predict what values would be realized in a liquidation,
due to the large shareholder deficit, management believes that it would be
remote that any moneys would be recovered for its shareholders.
The following is Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of
Operations and Financial Condition as well as the factors and events that have
affected the Company's performance during the first nine months of fiscal 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS (CONTINUED)
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 1995 vs.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
January 31, 1994:
- ----------------
Revenue:
- -------
The Company's total revenue decreased $17.4 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 1995 versus the third quarter of fiscal 1994. For the nine month period
revenue declined $31.2 million. A decrease in service revenue and product
revenue of $8.6 and $8.8 million, respectively for the quarter, and $19.5 and
$11.7 million respectively for the nine months, made up the variance.
Service Revenue:
- ---------------
Service revenue includes services provided under extended warranty contracts on
the traditional hardware and software products offered by the Company as well as
downsizing, consulting, network integration, and network management services.
Total service revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 decreased $8.6
million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1994. The decreases are
attributable to the sale of the businesses referred to in Note 3, as well as the
affect of the Company's Chapter 11 filing on December 7, 1995.
Product Revenue:
- ---------------
Product revenue includes sales of computer hardware, proprietary operating
systems and specialized application software related to such hardware sales.
Total product revenue decreased $8.8 million from the third quarter of fiscal
1994 to the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and $11.7 million for the nine month
period. Product revenue has declined as a result of operations downsizing as
well as the Company's change in focus to generating service revenue through its
networking division. Also, decreases were caused by price reductions by
manufacturers and direct competition with hardware equipment vendors. These
factors were exaccerbated in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 when the Company
discontinued its Dealer business as a result of its Chapter 11 filing.
Margins:
- -------
Overall margins decreased to 27.0% of total revenue in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995 from 34.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 1994. For the nine month
period of fiscal 1995 margins decreased to 31.5% from 31.6% for the same period
of fiscal 1994.
Service Margins:
- ---------------
Service margins increased to 44.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 from
38.3% for the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1994 and to 44.0% from 35.8%,
respectively, for the nine month periods. This improvement reflects the sale of
lower margin businesses.
Product Margins:
- ---------------
Product margins for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 declined to 2.8% from 30.3%
in the third quarter of fiscal 1994. For nine months of fiscal 1995, product
margins were 22.5% compared with 27.2% for nine months of fiscal 1994. Reduced
margins in dealer sales channels were offset by improved margins for
network-related products, but overall the results reflected continuing downward
pricing pressure in the computer hardware marketplace and the Company's
consequent de-emphasis of that business and the Company's Chapter 11 filing.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
(Continued)
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses:
- ---------------------------------------------
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $2.7 million for
the third quarter of fiscal 1995 verses the third quarter of 1994, and $4.4
million for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared to the first nine
months of fiscal 1994. These decreases reflect the sale of certain businesses as
already noted as well as the Company's continuing efforts to reduce overhead,
which were accelerated as a result of the Chapter 11 filing, partly offset by
the increased expense levels in the networking business and Ultimate Data
Systems.
SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased for the third quarter of
fiscal 1995 verses the third quarter of 1994 as well as for the nine month
period. The percentage increase is primarily attributable to a lower revenue
base resulting from the sale of certain businesses and the Chapter 11 filing, as
previously noted.
Financial Condition:
- -------------------
On December 7, 1994, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the New York
Stock Exchange suspended trading in the Company's common stock, and the shares
were delisted. The Company did not contest such action. The financial statements
contained herein are presented on a "going concern" basis and may not be
representative of the values that could be realized in a liquidation, if any,
resulting from a bankruptcy proceeding.
While management cannot predict what values would be realized in a liquidation,
due to the large shareholder deficit, management believes that it would be
remote that any moneys would be recovered for its shareholders.
For the nine months ended January 31, 1995, the Company had net cash provided by
operating activities of $2.5 million, primarily resulting from the sale of
assets and collection of accounts receivable.
Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $2.5 million at
January 31, 1995 down approximately $11.2 million from April 30, 1994. Days
sales outstanding (DSO) decreased to 19 days during the first nine months of
fiscal 1995 from 67 days as of April 30, 1994. These decreases are primarily due
to the sale of business units and the resulting depleted receivable base, which
was caused by the Company not meeting its budgeted sales targets coupled with
management's aggressive cash collection policies and Chapter 11 filing.
Accounts payable to the Company's vendors declined approximately $5.1 million
during the first nine months of fiscal 1995. During the first quarter of fiscal
year 1995, the Company sold its Customer Service Division (CSD) to Bull HN
Information Systems, Inc. At the date of closing, June 30, 1994, payments were
made to two of its larger vendors (Bull and Hewlett Packard). These payments
accounted for approximately $3.9 million of the total $4.7 million of payments.
The remaining cash received was used to pay down other vendors. For further
discussion relating to the sale of CSD, refer to Form 10-K; Note 2 and Note 16,
and Form 8-K filed on July 15, 1994.
