4.  SALE OF FORMER HEADQUARTERS.

    Effective June 12, 1996 Apertus concluded the sale of its former
    headquarters by paying off the $8,976 remaining on its mortgage with
    Prudential and collecting the $8,700 note receivable from Best Buy. At this
    time cash held in escrow totalling $776 was released to Apertus.

5.  ACQUISITION OF BLUELINE SOFTWARE INC.

    Effective the close of business on June 30, 1995, the Company purchased the
    stock of BlueLine Software Inc (BlueLine). The total purchase price was
    $8,750 of which approximately 50% was in cash and 50% was in Apertus common
    stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
    accounting. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of approximately $1,900
    which is being amortized on a straight line basis over 7 years. The purchase
    included a charge to earnings of $5,390 in quarter one fiscal 1996 related
    to the write down of purchased research and development costs and other
    acquisition costs.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- ----------------------------------------------------------
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         -----------------------------------


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 decreased $591 (5%) from
the first quarter of fiscal year 1996. This is mainly due to revenue taken in
quarter one of fiscal 1996 associated with a large GTE licence contract which
was concluded in quarter three of fiscal 1996. The mix of revenues between
domestic and international quarter over quarter increased from approximately 21%
to 32% respectively.

The cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 35% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 30% in the comparable quarter of fiscal
1996.  This increase was due primarily to the GTE revenue recognized in quarter
one of fiscal 1996 which had no associated costs.

Research, development, and engineering costs remained relatively flat as a
percentage of revenue and accounted for 24% of first quarter fiscal 1997
revenues as compared with 25% in the comparable prior year quarter. Significant
activity in this category includes the addition of BlueLine R&D expenses
included in operations effective July 1, 1995 and the reduction in expenses
associated with the revamping of the Company at the end of fiscal 1996. The
net result of this activity is that R&D expenses remained relatively flat
quarter over quarter. Selling, general, and administrative costs were 53% of
revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to 43% in the prior
year comparable quarter. This increase reflects the additional costs associated
with the BlueLine acquisition which are reflected in the quarter one fiscal 1997
figures but not in the quarter one fiscal 1996 amounts.

Interest income decreased due to a lower average balance in cash and marketable
securities between periods.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $8,040 and $11,312 at June
30, 1996 and March 31, 1996 respectively.  The Company currently anticipates
making capital expenditures of approximately $750 during the rest of fiscal year
1997.  These capital expenditures will relate to research and development, data
processing and software. The Company believes that cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash needs for
working capital and capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal year 1997.
