              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)  The consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the net
     assets and operating results of the Company's Network Systems Group ("NSG")
     as a discontinued operation (see Note D below). The assets and liabilities
     of NSG have been reclassified in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets
     as Net assets of discontinued operations. The operating results of NSG are
     shown net of taxes in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as
     Loss from operations.

(C)  Details of certain balance sheet captions are as follows:

(D)  In September 1996, the Company sold its Network Systems Group to Data
     Systems Network Corporation ("DSN). The description of the transaction was
     described in the Company's Form 10-K filing dated August 29, 1997. Revenue
     from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended November
     30, 1997 and 1996 was $0 and $7,490,000, respectively.

                         SOFTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(E)  On November 10, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of certain
     assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Advanced Manufacturing
     Technology ("AMT") division of CIMLINC, Incorporated ("CIMLINC"). CIMLINC
     is a privately held Delaware corporation with headquarters in Itasca,
     Illinois.

     AMT is a technology group that targets its application software products to
     the Mold and Die industry. AMT has been operated as a separate profit
     center of CIMLINC since 1992. At the transaction date, AMT employed 31 full
     time employees and is located in Troy, Michigan. AMT's software products
     have been primarily targeted to the tier two automotive component suppliers
     in the U.S. marketplace that create molds and dies from electronic models.
     AMT's software technology enhances the efficiency of the mold building
     process by reducing project development time and costs and increasing the
     quality of molds and tools.

     SofTech acquired all of the material assets of AMT except for accounts
     receivable with a net value of approximately $2.0 million as of the
     transaction date. In the acquisition, SofTech acquired assets with a net
     book value of approximately $338,000 (unaudited) and a defined list of
     liabilities with a net book value of approximately $2,325,000 (unaudited).
     The assets acquired included office furniture, computer equipment and
     off-the-shelf software currently marketed and supported by AMT known as
     PROSPECTOR(TM), EXPERTCAD(TM), EXPERTCAM(TM), TOOLDESIGNER(TM) and
     TOOLMAKER(TM). The Company intends to continue to utilize such physical
     assets acquired in the business.

     The purchase price for the acquired assets was $1,750,000 in cash, 200,000
     shares of SofTech stock and the assumption of the above referenced
     liabilities. The source of the funds used in the acquisition came from
     existing working capital resources including the Company's credit facility
     with Deutsche Financial Services Corporation. SofTech provided CIMLINC with
     a guarantee that the shares received in the transaction would have a value
     of at least $1.0 million within two years or an additional payment would be
     due for the difference. The guarantee is cancelled if, during the two year
     period, the shares are sold or if the aggregate value of the shares equals
     or exceeds $1.4 million for a specified period. The additional payment, if
     due, can be made in cash or shares or any combination thereof at the
     discretion of SofTech; provided, however, that in no event will the total
     shares issued to complete this transaction exceed 19.9% of shares
     outstanding before the transaction. If the additional payment is to be made
     in shares the average closing price for the last thirty (30) trading days
     of the two year period shall be used to derive the per share value.

     In addition, SofTech will issue 157,143 shares of stock to a group of AMT
     employees to satisfy certain amounts due to those individuals upon the sale
     of AMT by CIMLINC. CIMLINC had entered into these arrangements with the key
     AMT employees in order to ensure their cooperation and continued employment
     in the event of a sale. SofTech has guaranteed the recipients of 65,714 of
     those 157,143 shares that the value of the shares will be at least $3.50 in
     two years or an additional payment will be made in cash for the difference.

     SofTech will also issue 357,981 shares of stock for the benefit of certain
     AMT employees. These individuals received a stock award that vests 50% at
     the first anniversary and 50% at the second anniversary of the transaction.
     In exchange for the share award these individuals agreed to take a salary
     reduction of either 10% or 20% from their current compensation plans. All
     of such salary reductions can be recovered by those individuals in the
     event that the revenue generated from the AMT business exceeds certain
     forecasted targets. If any of the recipients terminate their employment
     prior to vesting, their non-vested shares are forfeited and allocated to
     the recipients on a pro rata basis. If the employment of any of these
     individuals is terminated by the Company for any reason,

                                                                          Page 9

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     other than fraud or illegal activity, during the two year vesting period
     the individuals are allowed to continue to purchase the non-vested shares.
     At the one year anniversary any participant can elect to withdraw from the
     program but will only receive 40% of the stock awarded to them.

     The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and resulted in the
     recording of capitalized software of $4.0 million, fixed assets of $.2
     million and goodwill of approximately $1.0 million.

(F)  As previously reported in the Proxy Statement for the fiscal 1997 Annual
     Meeting, management has been reviewing its relationship with Coopers &
     Lybrand LLP due to the relocation of its corporate headquarters from
     Massachusetts to Michigan and has been evaluating alternative independent
     accountants in the process. Effective January 12, 1998, SofTech management,
     its Board of Directors and Coopers & Lybrand LLP, mutually agreed that due
     to the aforementioned relocation of corporate headquarters that it no
     longer made economic sense to provide audit services from the Boston office
     of Coopers & Lybrand LLP. SofTech management has recommended to the Board
     of Directors the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to provide such audit
     services for fiscal year 1998. For this purpose, "audit services" include:
     examination of annual fiscal statements; review and consultation in
     connection with filings of annual reports and registration statements with
     the SEC; consultation on accounting matters; preparation of reports to
     management covering recommendations on accounting, internal control and
     similar matters; meetings with the Audit Committee; and audits of employee
     benefit plans. Ernst & Young LLP has also been asked to audit the financial
     statements of the Company's most recent acquisition for inclusion in an
     amended Form 8-K to be filed on Januay 26, 1998. The appointment of Ernst &
     Young LLP was approved by the company's Board of Directors.

     For the fiscal year 1996 and 1997 audits, Coopers & Lybrand LLP issued an
     unqualified opinion but modified its opinion with a "going concern"
     paragraph. This paragraph emphasized that given the company's minimal
     operating income and deteriorating relationship with a major supplier there
     existed "substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a
     going concern."

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


Results of Operations

Total revenue for the three and six months ended November 30, 1997 was
approximately $4.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, as compared to
approximately $4.1 million and $7.9 million for the same periods in the prior
fiscal year. The current year revenues represent an increase of about 14% and
16%, respectively, for the three and six months ended November 30, 1997 over the
comparable periods in the prior fiscal year. Service revenue for Q2 of fiscal
1998 was approximately $3.0 million, or 64% of revenue, as compared to
approximately $1.1 million, or 27% of revenue, for the comparable period in
fiscal 1997. Service revenue for the six months ended November 30, 1997 was
approximately $6.0 million, or 66% of revenue, as compared to approximately $2.1
million, or 26% of revenue, for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The
increase in service revenue is the result of the acquisitions of the
services-only businesses in the third quarter of fiscal year 1997. Product
revenue was approximately $1.7 million for the current quarter as compared to
$3.0 million for the same period in fiscal 1997, a decrease of 44%. Year-to-date
product revenue was approximately $3.1 million as compared to $5.8 million, a
decrease of 46%. The decrease in product revenue is the result of the transition
to the mid-range software offering during the second quarter of fiscal 1997
which has had a negative impact on both hardware and software revenue as
discussed under the section labeled "Product Transition" in the Company's Form
10-K filing for fiscal 1997.

Product gross margin was 44.1% and 42.7% for the three and six month periods
ended November 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to 32.9% and 31.8% for the
same periods in fiscal 1997. The increase in product gross margin is due
primarily to the increased margin on the mid-range software offering relative to
the high-end software offering marketed by the Company through September 30,
1996 as discussed in detail under the section labeled "Product Transition" in
the Company's Form 10-K filing for fiscal 1997. Gross margin generated from
service revenue increased to 42.9% and 42.4% for the three and six month periods
ended November 30, 1997, respectively, from 32.0% and 28.5%, respectively, for
the comparable periods in fiscal 1997. The increase in service gross margin is
due to the service businesses acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and
increased productivity of the engineering group.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the second quarter of fiscal
1998 was $1,694,000, an increase of 66% from the second quarter fiscal 1997
expenditures of $1,022,000. Year-to-date Selling, general and administrative
expense for the six months ended November 30, 1997 was $3,315,000 as compared to
$1,940,000, an increase of about 71%. The increase is primarily attributable to
the service businesses acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and the
higher variable compensation from increased gross margin dollars.

Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 was
$322,000 or $.06 per share as compared to net income of $318,000 or $.07 per
share for the same period in fiscal 1997. For the six months ended November 30,
1997, net income from continuing operations was $700,000 or $.13 per share as
compared to $476,000 or $.12 per share for the same period in fiscal 1997. The
first quarter of fiscal 1998 earnings included a pretax investment gain of
$253,000. The improved performance in fiscal 1998 relative to fiscal 1997 was
the result of increased gross margin on products and services and the increase
in service revenue from the fiscal 1997 acquisitions.

The company expects to be sheltered from most, if not all, federal tax in the
current year due to the availability of net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards.

                                                                         Page 11

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


Results of Operations - continued

The Company, as of the date of this filing, has not yet resolved its differences
with Parametric Technology Corporation ("PTC"). The Reseller Agreement expired
on September 30, 1997. Since that time activity between the Company and PTC has
been limited. It is uncertain at this time if the differences between the
Company and PTC can be resolved amicably. Given the Company's recent acquisition
of AMT, its growing service business, and the opportunities available to the
Company to represent the software products of PTC's competitors, management
believes the loss of the PTC reseller authorization will not be material to its
operations.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company ended the second quarter with borrowings under its line of credit of
$1,925,000. The acquisition of the assets of CIMLINC's Advanced Manufacturing
Technology group in November 1997 as detailed in Note E hereunder was the
primary use of the cash during the second quarter and the reason for the
borrowings under the credit facility.

Net cash used by operations totaled about $993,000 for the six months ended
November 30, 1997. The significant components of this cash utilization was as
follows: net income adjusted for non-cash expenses generated approximately
$1,382,000 and growth in accounts payable and accrued liabilities generated an
additional $443,000 which was offset by accounts receivable growth of about $2.7
million. The accounts receivable growth is primarily due to the concentration of
revenue during the last month of Q2 FY98 as compared to the last month of Q4
FY97, a few large slow-paying accounts and several deferred payment arrangements
on software maintenance.

Investing activities utilized approximately $1.7 million for the six months
ended November 30, 1997. The cash utilized to acquire AMT totaled approximately
$1.9 million. Capital expenditures and loans to officers used approximately
$628,000 during the first half of fiscal 1998. The loans to officers related to
tax payments due by them from the share issuance approved by shareholders in
April 1997. Approximately $810,000 was generated from the sale of securities.
Borrowings under the line of credit facility and certain borrowings for capital
equipment acquisitions generated approximately $2.1 million.

The Company believes that the additional borrowings under the line of credit
together with the cash flow from operations will be sufficient for meeting its
liquidity and capital resource needs for the next year.

The statements made above with respect to SofTech's outlook for fiscal 1998
represent "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include general
business and economic conditions, maintaining key reseller agreements with
technology providers and the efficient and effective integration of the AMT
business unit into the Company, acceptance of the new software offering by
potential users, and the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified
personnel both in our existing markets and in new office locations.
