                       SOFTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                       ------------------------------

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            ----------------------------------------------------

(A)   The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared from 
      the accounts of SofTech, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (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") as a discontinued operation (see Note G).  The assets and 
      liabilities of the discontinued business have been reclassified in the 
      Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as Net assets (liabilities) of 
      discontinued operations.  The operating results of the GSD 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 half of FY96.  As of November 30, 1994, the Company had 
      capitalized $422,214 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 and six months ended 
      November 30, 1995 was  $7,950 and $45,860, respectively.  Revenue from 
      discontinued operations for the comparable periods in fiscal 1995 was 
      $323,221 and $616,568, respectively.

      At November 30, 1995 and May 31, 1995, the net assets of discontinued 
      operations, which are included in the Consolidated Condensed Balance 
      Sheets, are as follows:

(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 were expensed to operations and included in selling, general 
      and administrative expense in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  The 
      advance will be expensed as part of the sale of the CAD Division.


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

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

During the first six months of fiscal 1996, cash decreased approximately 
$732,000.  Operating activities utilized approximately $539,000, much of that 
being the nonrecurring cash payment of $426,000 detailed below.  The 
collection of the majority of the remaining GSD receivables provided $1.5 
million during the six months ended November 30, 1995.

On September 20, 1995, the Company made a nonrecurring cash payment of 
$426,000 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.  
Approximately $356,000 of the cash payment was expensed in this quarter and is 
included in selling, general and administrative expense.  The remaining 
$70,000 is an advance that is recoverable against commissions earned from the 
sale of the CAD Division.  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 along with the $10 million available 
line of credit will be sufficient for meeting operating needs over the next 
twelve months.

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

Revenue for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 1995 decreased 
approximately 4% and 3%, respectively, from the same periods in fiscal 1995.  
The North Carolina locations recorded revenue of $2.2 million and $4.1 
million, respectively, for the three and six months ended November 30, 1995 as 
compared to $4.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the same periods 
of the previous fiscal year.  The decrease in revenue in North Carolina was
partially offset by revenue generated by Micro Control, acquired in January
1995, of $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the three and six
months ended November 30, 1995.

Product revenue, which includes hardware and off-the-shelf software, decreased 
by 14% and 13%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended 
November 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods 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 and six months ended 
November 30, 1995 were 21.0% and 19.8%, respectively, as compared to 21.5% and 
20.8%, respectively, for the comparable periods 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 34% for the three and six months ended November 
30, 1995 as compared to the same periods 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 31% for the first half of fiscal 1996 as 
compared to 45% 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 21.9% for the first half of fiscal 1995 to 30% for the first half of 
fiscal 1996.  Included in SG&A for the first half of FY96 was the payment of 
$356,000 to the shareholders of Micro Control, Inc. (see Footnote H), along 
with approximately $166,000 of costs associated with the now shut down 
software development group.  The costs associated with the software 
development group were capitalized during the first half 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 acquisition of Micro Control in January 1995.

The operating loss from continuing operations was approximately $(510,000) and 
$(1,560,000), respectively, for the three and six months ended November 30, 
1995, as compared to operating income of $470,000 and $915,000, respectively, 
for the same periods in FY95.  Along with the slight decrease in revenue for 
the first half of fiscal 1996, earnings were negatively impacted by decreases 
in both product and service margins, as well as a $1.6 million increase in 
selling, general and administrative costs,  $356,000 of which is related to 
the nonrecurring cash payment as outlined above.

The loss from discontinued operations of $224,318 and $303,125, respectively, 
for the three and six months ended November 30, 1995 was primarily due to 
expenses associated with the collection of approximately $1.3 million of 
outstanding GSD receivables and resolving most outstanding regulatory issues 
related to that division.  This effort is now concluded and all GSD employees 
were separated at the end of Q2 FY96.

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 half of fiscal 1995.  There were no 
common equivalent shares arising from shares issued under stock options during 
the first half of fiscal 1996.

The Company did not generate any interest income during the first two quarters 
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 two quarters of fiscal 1996 is 
comprised of state taxes computed on a basis other than income.  The Company's 
effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 1995 was about 30%, which is 
comprised of a federal rate of 24% and an average state tax rate of 6%.
