      (the Company) without audit; however, in the opinion of management, 
      the information presented reflects all adjustments which are of a 
      normal recurring nature and elimination of intercompany transactions 
      which are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position 
      and results of operations.
 
(B)   On July 26, 1995, the Company announced its intention to seek 
      alternative strategies aimed at enhancing shareholder value including, 
      but not limited to, the possible sale of all or part of the business.  
      It is impossible to predict, at this time, the final outcome or even 
      the eventual structure of such a transaction or transactions as the 
      case may be, nor the potential effect on results of operations or 
      financial position. 

(C)   The consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect 
      the net assets and operating results of the Government Services 
      Division ("GSD") and Compass, Inc. as discontinued operations (see 
      Note G).  The assets and liabilities of the discontinued businesses 
      have been reclassified in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as 
      Net assets of discontinued operations.  The operating results of the 
      GSD and Compass are shown net of taxes in the Consolidated Condensed 
      Statements of Income as Loss from operations.

(D)   The Company capitalizes internal software development costs in 
      accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 
      (SFAS 86), subsequent to the establishment of technological 
      feasibility for the product.  There were no internal software 
      development costs incurred during the first quarter of FY96.  During 
      the first quarter of FY95, the Company capitalized $181,757 of 
      software development costs.  During the third quarter of FY95, the 
      Company determined that the recoverability of these costs had become 
      uncertain due to significant delays in the product development effort 
      and wrote off the previously capitalized software development costs 
      incurred to date, along with all subsequent software development costs 
      incurred.  

(E)   The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial 
      Accounting Standards No. 109, (SFAS No. 109) as of June 1, 1993.  SFAS 
      No. 109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and 
      assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have 
      been recognized in a company's financial statements or tax returns.

(G)   Effective December 1, 1993, the Company completed the sale of the GSD 
      to CACI International, Inc. of Arlington, Virginia.  CACI paid 
      approximately $4.2 million in cash for substantially all the active 
      GSD contracts and certain defined assets, primarily computer 
      equipment, with a net book value of approximately $900,000.
 
      Revenue from discontinued operations for the three months ended 
      August 31, 1995 and 1994 was  $37,908 and $293,347, respectively.

      At August 31, 1995 and May 31, 1995, the net assets of discontinued 
      operations, which are included in the Consolidated Condensed Balance

(H)   On September 20, 1995, the Company amended its Purchase Agreement with 
      the stockholders of Micro Control, Inc. ("Seller").  In consideration 
      for the Seller waiving their right to receive certain contingent 
      payments that may have been due if certain profit goals were attained 
      (see Note J and Management's Discussion and Analysis to the 1995 
      Annual Report which detail the potential liabilities) over the next 
      two years, the Company made a cash payment to them totaling $426,497.  
      In addition, the Seller's primary responsibility subsequent to the 
      signing of this amendment is to maximize the sale price of the CAD 
      Division.  A commission will be earned for such activity based on the 
      sale price.

      The payment of $426,497 is composed of three separate items which are 
      as follows:
 
      *     $281,497 non-recoverable cash payment;
 
      *     an advance of $70,000 recoverable only against commissions 
            earned through the sale of the CAD Division; and
 
      *     a $75,000 cash payment for termination of the final two years 
            of the building lease at the Pennsylvania facility owned by a 
            Family Trust of which the Seller is a Trustee.  In addition, a 
            twelve (12) month option to buy out the period from November 5, 
            1998 to November 4, 2000 for an additional cash payment of 
            $75,000 was extended to the Company.

      The non-recoverable cash payment and the lease buy out which total 
      $356,497 will be expensed to operations in the second quarter of 
      fiscal 1996.  The advance will be expensed as part of the sale of the 
      CAD Division.

                       SOFTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition
- - -------------------

During the first three months of fiscal 1996, cash increased approximately 
$615,000.  Operating activities provided approximately $800,000.  Accounts 
receivable and unbilled costs and fees decreased approximately $3.5 million 
from year end 1995 due to the revenue decrease of $3.6 million for the first 
quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.  In 
addition, the payment of year end trade payables and accrued expenses 
utilized approximately $2.1 million.

On September 20, 1995, the Company made a cash payment of $426,497 to the 
stockholders of Micro Control, Inc. in exchange for their waiving all rights 
to contingent payments that could have been due if certain profit goals were 
attained over the next two years.  The payment was composed of three 
separate items which are detailed in Note H to this Form 10-Q.  The specific 
amount of the contingent cash payments that could have been due were 
dependent on profit goal attainment and future stock price and were detailed 
in Management's Discussion and Analysis and in Note J to the 1995 Annual 
Report.  These payments could have been material if profit goals were 
attained and the market price of the Company's stock did not equal or exceed 
the defined stock price.  This amendment was necessitated by the Company's 
announcement on July 26, 1995 to seek alternatives aimed at enhancing 
shareholder value, including, but not limited to, the sale of all or part of 
the business.  By fixing a potentially material unknown liability, potential 
acquirers are better able to determine fair value of the Company in 
management's opinion.

On July 26, 1995, the Company announced its intention to seek alternative 
strategies aimed at enhancing shareholder value including, but not limited 
to, the possible sale of all or part of the business.  It is impossible to 
predict, at this time, the final outcome or even the eventual structure of 
such a transaction or transactions as the case may be, nor the potential 
effect on results of operations or financial position.

Management believes that available cash and the completion of the GSD 
receivable collection effort expected to be completed in the second quarter 
will be sufficient for meeting operating needs over the next twelve months.  
In addition, the Company has a $10 million available line of credit.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

Revenue for the three months ended August 31, 1995 decreased approximately 
$300,000 or 3% from the same period in fiscal 1995.  The North Carolina 
locations recorded revenue of $1.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 
1996 as compared to $3.4 million for the same period of the previous fiscal 
year.  The prior year's revenue was for two months only and included revenue 
from retail operations which have been closed.  Historically, IDI's first 
quarter, which spans the summer vacation months, has accounted for less than 
20 percent of its annual revenue as customers' buying decisions are deferred 
until the fall.

<PAGE> 10

Product revenue, which includes hardware and off-the-shelf software, 
decreased by 11% for the three month period ended August 31, 1995 as 
compared to the same period in the prior year.  The decrease is due 
primarily to the reduced revenue at the North Carolina locations.  Overall 
product gross margins for the three months ended August 31, 1995 were 18.5% 
as compared to 19.9% for the comparable period in FY95.  The decrease is 
consistent with the gradual margin decay of off-the-shelf hardware and 
software components as they become more and more available and therefore 
subject to intense price sensitivity. 
 
Service revenue increased by 33% for the three months ended August 31, 1995 
as compared to the same period in fiscal 1995.  Increased service capability 
and continued growth in recurring maintenance revenue provided a significant 
portion of the increased service revenue.  Gross margin as a percentage of 
service revenue was 29% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 
46% for the comparable period in FY95.  The decreased margin is due 
primarily to increased staffing in the technical ranks and a delay in a few 
relatively large orders with a heavy service revenue mix.

Selling general and administrative cost as a percentage of revenue increased 
from 20.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 to 31% for the first quarter 
of fiscal 1996.  Included in SG&A for Q1 FY96 were approximately $125,000 of 
costs associated with the software development group.  The costs associated 
with this effort were capitalized during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  
The additional increase in SG&A spending is attributable to a combination of 
increased staffing and overhead costs, including goodwill expense, that 
resulted from the acquisitions during FY95.

The operating loss from continuing operations was approximately $(1,049,000) 
for the three months ended August 31, 1995, as compared to operating income 
of $485,000 for the first quarter of FY95.  Along with the slight decrease 
in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, earnings were negatively 
impacted by decreases in both product and service margins, as well as a $1.0 
million increase in selling, general and administrative costs.

Common equivalent shares arising from shares issued under stock options are 
the cause of the difference between common shares outstanding and weighted 
average shares outstanding, for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  There 
were no common equivalent shares arising from shares issued under stock 
options during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

The Company did not generate any interest income during the first quarter of 
fiscal 1996. The Company has utilized its available cash  to complete three 
acquisitions in fiscal 1995 and to fund receivable growth.  

The Company's tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 is 
comprised of state taxes computed on a basis other than income.  The 
Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was about 
40%, which is comprised of a federal rate of 34% and an average state tax 
rate of 6%.

                               EXHIBIT 10(ii)


      AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 TO THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

      Agreement and Amendment Number 1 dated September 20, 1995 to the Asset 
Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") entered into as of January 5, 1995 by and 
among Information Decisions, Incorporated, a Michigan corporation ("Buyer"), 
SofTech, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and indirect parent of the Buyer 
("SofTech"), Micro Control, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Seller") and 
each of the stockholders of Seller as listed in Exhibit 1 to the Agreement 
(individually, a "Stockholder" and collectively, the "Stockholders").

                                 WITNESSETH

      WHEREAS, under the Agreement the Seller and the Stockholders may have 
the right to receive certain contingent payments if profit goals specified 
in the Agreement are attained; and

      WHEREAS, the periods during which the profit goals specified in the 
Agreement are to be attained in order for such contingent payments to be 
payable have not yet been completed (and have not yet begun for certain such 
periods); and

      WHEREAS, the parties wish to avoid the uncertainty of whether such 
contingent payments will be payable and to amend the Agreement to delete 
such contingent payments in exchange for the payment of the sums certain and 
other amounts described herein. 

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth 
herein, the parties agree as follows:

      1.)  In consideration of the agreements contained herein by each 
party, the parties agree to amend the Agreement by deleting Section 1.4 of 
the Agreement in its entirety in order to evidence the agreement of the 
Seller and the Stockholders to waive their right to receive Contingent 
Payments (as defined in the Agreement) representing Contingent Purchase 
Price (as also defined in the Agreement) including without limitation 
Contingent Payment Number 4 described in Section 1.4 (d) of the Agreement 
that did not require attainment of any specified profit goal, in exchange 
for the payments to be made by Buyer and SofTech described herein.

      2.)  In consideration of the amendment of the Agreement described 
above and the waiver by the Seller and the Stockholders of their right to 
receive Contingent Payments, Buyer and SofTech agree to make a cash payment 
totaling $426,497 concurrently with the signing of this Amendment No. 1 
representing the following amounts:

      (a)  a cash payment of $281,497;

     Between $8.0 and $9.0 million           8% of Sale Price
     Between $9.0 and $10 million           10% of Sale Price
     Greater than $10 million               12% of Sale Price
</TABLE>

      (a)  The sale price of the CAD business of the Buyer (the "Sale 
Price") above assumes the tangible net book value of the assets ("Tangible 
Book Value") of the CAD business sold or otherwise disposed of is equal to 
$2.0 million. Tangible Book Value is defined as the net book value of the 
assets less the liabilities and the goodwill related to the CAD Division. 
The Sale Price will be adjusted up or down for the purpose of calculating 
this commission if the tangible net book value of the assets actually sold 
is different than $2.0 million. For example, if the tangible net book value 
of assets sold are equal to $2.5 million and the proceeds from the sale are 
$6.0 million the Sale Price for the purpose of paying this commission would 
equal $5.5 million and the commission earned would be $150,000. Conversely, 
if the tangible net book value of the assets sold are equal to $1.5 million 
and the proceeds from the sale are $6.0 million the Sale Price for the 
purpose of paying this commission would equal $6.5 million and the 
commission earned would be $260,000.

      (b)  The foregoing commission shall be payable whether the eventual 
purchaser is identified by Barry Bennett or another party, so long as Mr. 
Bennett is employed by the Buyer and he carries out all duties reasonably 
requested of him during the sale process, including without limitation 
assisting in the identification of potential purchasers, preparation of 
materials relating to the proposed transaction, negotiation of agreements 
related to the transaction, etc.; provided however that Seller and 
Stockholders acknowledge and agree that SofTech and the Buyer retain full 
and complete control of the process pursuant to which potential purchasers 
may participate in the process relating to a potential transaction, and may 
determine whether to proceed with any particular transaction and on what 
terms, and whether to accept or reject any proposal, to proceed with any 
transaction or to stop in its entirety the sale process, in each case in 
their sole and absolute discretion.

      (c)  If, upon the termination of Barry Bennett's employ from the 
Seller, the Buyer has not accepted an offer with respect to the sale of the 
CAD Division, Mr. Bennett will furnish the Buyer with a list of prospective 
purchasers whom Mr. Bennett has contacted relating to the sale and purchase 
of the CAD Division. If a transaction occurs involving any party on such 
list within one year of the termination of Mr. Bennett's employ from the 
Seller, and provided that Mr. Bennett would have qualified to earn such fee 
prior to the expiration of this Amendment, Mr. Bennett shall be deemed to 
have earned a fee as set forth in item 3 above, and such fee shall be 
payable from the first funds available from the transaction.

      (d)  SofTech agrees to indemnify Mr. Bennett and hold him harmless 
against any and all losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities to which 
Mr. Bennett shall become subject arising in any manner out of or in 
connection with the rendering of his services in seeking a purchaser for the 
CAD Division, except for such losses, claims, damages or liabilities that 
may result from or may be attributable to the negligence or misconduct of 
Mr. Bennett.

      (e)  Barry Bennett may utilize the services of outside advisors to 
assist in this transaction with the written consent of SofTech. The 
arrangement for contracting for such services shall be in writing and all 
costs associated with such activities are the responsibility of Barry 
Bennett. The services of SofTech's advisor, Covington Associates, will be 
available to assist as required. The costs associated with the services of 
Covington Associates are the responsibility of SofTech.

      4. Barry Bennett's base salary shall remain unchanged at $150,000 per 
annum. Notwithstanding the Amendment of the Agreement set forth above, Mr. 
Bennett will be paid a bonus of $100,000 if the First Micro Control Goal, as 
defined in Section 1.4 (g) of the Agreement, is attained. If the sale of the 
CAD Division occurs prior to February 28, 1996, the end of the First 
Measurement Period, as defined in Section 1.4 (g), a pro rata portion of the 
bonus will be paid if the Micro Control Division has met or exceeded the pro 
rata First Micro Control Goal during that shortened period. For example, 
assuming the First Micro Control Goal is $700,000 for the First Measurement 
Period which is a thirteen month period ending February 28, 1996. If the CAD 
Division is sold on December 31, 1995, eleven months into the First 
Measurement Period, the pro rata goal  would be $592,308 ( $700,000 times 
84.6154%). Assuming that pro rata goal was attained as of the sale date a 
bonus of $84,615 would be earned.
 
      5. SofTech and Barry Bennett agree that the fair market value of the 
1967 Corvette that was an Excluded Asset in the Agreement but for which the 
Company retained a financial interest as detailed in the Letter Agreement 
dated January 5, 1995, is $45,000. Barry Bennett agrees to execute a 24 
month promissory note bearing no interest as part of this Amendment. If not 
already due, the unpaid portion of the note shall become due and shall be 
offset against commissions earned as a result of the sale of the CAD 
Division.

      6. As an important part of this Agreement, Barry Bennett shall cause 
the Bennett Family Trust to extend an option to SofTech and its successors 
to buy out the period from November 5, 1998 to November 4, 2000 under that 
certain lease from the Bennett Family Trust to Micro Control, Inc. dated 
November 5, 1992 and in exchange for $75,000. Mr. Bennett shall cause the 
Bennett Family Trust to execute and deliver to SofTech a written 
acknowledgment of such buyout option and of the lease termination date 
amendment described above, in form and substance acceptable to SofTech. Said 
option to be valid for twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement.

      7. Stockholders hereby indemnify SofTech against any liabilities, 
claims, and/or damages as related to incentive compensation plans made 
between Barry Bennett and certain employees of the Buyer's Micro Control 
location for attainment of  the First and Second Micro Control Goals as 
defined in Section 1.4 ( g) of the Agreement. Barry Bennett acknowledges 
that SofTech was not a party to such arrangements, did not approve of such 
arrangements, and that such arrangements were established solely for the 
benefit of the Stockholders.

      8. (a)  Barry Bennett and SofTech agree to change the day-to-day 
responsibilities of Barry Bennett in order to focus his time, energy and 
talents at maximizing the Sale Price for the CAD Division. This effort will 
be the first priority for Barry Bennett subsequent to the execution of this 
Agreement. Barry Bennett agrees to communicate regularly with SofTech 
management as to progress. A written status report will be prepared two 
times per month and will be due in Waltham on the 15th and last day of each 
month until the sale of the CAD Division is complete.

      (b)  In addition, Barry Bennett will retain primary responsibility for 
the day-to-day operations of the CAD office in Yardley, PA. Day-to-day 
responsibility for all CAD offices other than the Yardley location will be 
the responsibility of Mark Sweetland. Barry Bennett will be available, as 
requested, to assist Mark Sweetland in managing these other offices so long 
as those requests are reasonable in terms of time required and such requests 
do not substantially detract from Barry Bennett's efforts to maximize the 
Sale Price for the CAD Division.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have executed or caused this 
Agreement and Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized 
representatives as of the date set forth below.
