NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  In addition, certain
reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1995 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the fiscal 1996 presentation. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31,
1995.



In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for such interim
periods.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Primary earnings per common share and common equivalent share are
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period.  Common equivalent shares represent stock options that, if
exercised, would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.  All
options with an exercise price less than the average market share
price for the period are assumed to have a dilutive effect on earnings
per share.

Fully diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share are
computed by the same method as described for primary earnings per
share except that the higher of (1) the ending market share price for
the period or (2) the average market share price for the period is
used to compute the fully diluted earnings per share, as compared to
the average market share price for primary earnings per share.
Earnings per share calculations are presented in the accompanying
financial statements.

The primary and fully diluted number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding is as follows (in thousands):

                                       Quarter Ended August 31,

Revenue

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $65,625,000, an
increase of $9,656,000 (17%) from the same period of the prior year.
The revenue increase in the first quarter was the result of increased
revenue in Health Care, $6,150,000 (37%), and Payment Systems,
$4,769,000 (15%), partially offset by a decrease in Information
Systems and Services revenue of $1,073,000 (16%).

Health Care.
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 37% as compared
to the same period in fiscal 1995 as a result of (i) increases in
electronic claims processing and (ii) increases in revenue for the
Company's practice management systems for the pharmacy, dental,
physician and institutional sectors, including the impact of
acquisitions completed after the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Payment Systems.
Payment Systems revenues increased 15% in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 as compared to the same period last year.  Direct Payment Systems
revenue increased due to higher volume of merchant sales processed and
equipment sales. Offsetting this increase, revenue in the Company's
Indirect Payment Services (distribution through banks) business
decreased for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, as compared to the
same period last year, as a result of price adjustments, generally
made in return for increased volume and term commitments.

Information Systems and Services.
Revenue decreased 16% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 primarily
as a result of a decline in revenue associated with software licenses
for electronic data interchange (EDI) applications as compared to the
same period in fiscal 1995.

Other.
As a result of the Company's decision to exit the communication
services market in 1991, there is no longer any residual revenue from
these activities.  The customer contracts associated with this
business expired in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Costs and Expenses

Total cost of service for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was
$33,928,000, an increase of $3,270,000 (10%) from the same period last
year.  While the cost of operations increased $2,005,000 (8%) from the
same period last year, the cost of operations as a percentage of
revenue decreased from 43% last year to 40% this year.  Depreciation
and amortization as a percentage of revenue increased 22%, primarily
as a result of acquisitions made during 1995.

Gross margin increased to 48% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as
compared to 45% in the same period last year.

Sales, general and administrative expenses were $24,343,000 in the
quarter ended August 31, 1995.  This is an increase of $3,972,000
(19%) from the prior year.  This increase is primarily due to
increased product development and sales expansion programs in the
Payment Systems and Health Care areas as well as increased sales,
general, administrative and product development expenses associated
with acquired businesses.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was
$1,127,000, an increase of $672,000 (148%) from last year.  This
increase is principally the result of increased cash balances
associated with the secondary stock offering.

Interest and Other Expense

Interest and other expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
increased $122,000 (21%). This was primarily as a result of interest
paid associated with refunded customer deposits.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of taxable income, was
36% for the quarters ended August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $4,974,000, an
increase of $1,897,000, as compared to the same period of the prior
year. Earnings per share for the period ended August 31, 1995 and 1994
were $0.21 and $0.15, respectively. The fully diluted number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 was 24,236,000, an increase of 4,269,000 (21%) as compared
to the same period last year.  This increase is primarily a result of
3,162,500 shares issued in the supplementary stock offering completed
in June, 1995, and shares issued under employee stock option plans.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
consisting of net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and
provision for bad debts totaled $10,999,000, an increase over the
same period in the previous fiscal year of $2,686,000. Net cash used
in operating activities was $96,000 for the three months ended August 31,
1995,  a decrease of $6,179,000 (102%) from the prior year amount
provided of $6,083,000.  The working capital decrease includes income
tax payments and refunds of customer deposits.

Cash used in investing activities was $2,775,000 compared to the prior
year of $10,742,000.  In the first three months of fiscal 1995, two
business acquisitions were made totaling $8,985,000, net of cash
acquired.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $60,650,000, an increase
of $63,317,000 over the prior year.  The net proceeds from the
issuance of stock under the secondary offering (as discussed in Note
3) were $63,652,000.  Net proceeds from the employee stock purchase
plan increased $813,000 over the same three month period last year.
Dividends of approximately $1,697,000 and $1,390,000 were paid in the
three month periods ending August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company has entered into a $15,000,000, working capital line of
credit expiring in August 1996.  In addition, the Company has a
$40,000,000 acquisition line of credit which expires in August 1996.
The Company believes funds generated from operations along with its
committed lines of credit and the $88,519,000 cash on hand is adequate
to meet normal business operating needs, including possible
acquisitions.


Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' equity increased $68,264,000 (56%), from May 31, 1995 to
$190,787,000 at August 31, 1995, principally the result of the
secondary offering as previously discussed.
