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 1997 consolidated financial
statements to conform to the fiscal 1998 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, 1997.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows 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.  The convertible notes issued in fiscal 1997 have an antidilutive
effect on fully diluted earnings per share; accordingly, the notes are excluded
from earnings per share calculations.  Earnings per share calculations are
presented in the accompanying financial statements.

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

</TABLE>

In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings per Share".
SFAS No. 128 requires primary earnings per share to be replaced with "basic
earnings per share".  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported
earnings available to common stockholders by weighted average shares
outstanding.  No dilution for any potentially dilutive securities is included.
Fully diluted earnings per share will be called "diluted earnings per share".
The standard is intended to simplify existing computational guidelines, revise
the disclosure requirements, and increase comparability of earnings per share on
an international basis.  The pronouncement is effective for financial statements
issued after December 15, 1997 and is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's reported earnings per share.

NOTE 4  PENDING ACQUISTIONS:

On August 20, 1997, the Company entered into agreements to acquire two related
health care database information management businesses based in Phoenix,
Arizona.  Under the first agreement, the Company will acquire the stock of
Source Informatics Inc., a privately held company ("Source"), in exchange for
1,555,556 shares of the Company's Common Stock and $31.9 million in cash.  The
second agreement provides for the acquisition of the stock of a subsidiary of
Pharmaceutical Marketing Services Inc. ("PMSI"), which holds its Over-The-
Counter Physician Survey business unit as well as PMSI's interest in a joint
venture it formed with Source.  PMSI will receive 1,059,829 shares of the
Company's Common Stock and $6.5 million in cash for this subsidiary.  The amount
of cash and shares of the Company's Common Stock to be paid to the stockholders
of Source and to PMSI was determined based on a per share value for the
Company's Common Stock of $43.875, the market price for the Company's Common
Stock at the time the Company, Source and PMSI commenced negotiations.  The
Company filed two separate SEC Forms S-4 regarding these proposed transactions
on September 19, 1997.

     Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $120.1 million, an
increase of $18.9 million (19%) from the same period in fiscal 1997. The
increase was the result of increased revenue in Health Care, $9.4 million (25%);
Integrated Payment Systems, $6.9 million (22%); and Global Payment Systems, $3.9
million (11%).

fiscal 1998 reflected the acquisitions and integration of Equifax Healthcare EDI
Services, Inc. and Health Communication Services, Inc., completed after the
first quarter in fiscal 1997.  Revenue growth was also realized from increases
in existing products and services, primarily electronic transaction 
processing.

     During the quarter, the company took action to enter the health care data
base management business (see Note 4 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements), established a base to pursue health care opportunities in
Europe through the acquisition of two United Kingdom-based pharmacy systems
companies, and announced a number of new health care network information service
alliances.  As a result of these actions, the company expects annualized health
care revenue to exceed 50 percent of total revenues.

COSTS AND EXPENSES


     The following table represents the primary components of cost of service as
a percentage of total revenue for the first quarter ending August 31, 1997 and
1996:

 
                                                  1997                 1996
Cost of Service:                                  ----                 ---- 
   Operations                                      39%                  38%
   Depreciation and Amortization                    7%                   7%
   Hardware Sales                                   3%                   4%
                                             ---------------------------------
                                                   49%                  49%
- -------------------------------------        =================================


     Total cost of service as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 49%
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1997.  Cost of operations increased
$9.0 million (23%) in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 when compared to the same
period last year, primarily as a result of increased operating costs associated
with revenue growth and acquisitions.  As a percentage of revenue, cost of
operations was 39% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, compared to 38% for the
same period last year.  The increase is attributable to the gross margins
realized from the acquisitions completed after January 1, 1997.


     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.2 million (34%) as a
result of the six acquisitions accounted for as purchase transactions completed
during fiscal 1997. However, as a percentage of revenue, depreciation and
amortization costs remained constant at 7% in both first quarter periods.

     Hardware sales costs decreased $1.4 million (33%) as a result of the
decreased sales of hardware for pharmacy and physician practice management
systems during first quarter of fiscal 1998.  As a percentage of revenue,
hardware costs decreased from 4% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to 3% for
the same period of the current fiscal year.  This decrease reflects a shift away
from one-time sales activity to increasing the recurring revenue base.

     Sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense increased $3.3 million
(9%) as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  This increase was
primarily due to expenses associated with investments made in product
development and distribution channel expansion for future revenue growth.  In
addition, SG&A expenses grew as a result of higher expense ratios in acquired
businesses.  As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased to 35% for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 from 38% for the same period in fiscal 1997.  SG&A
expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue as revenues grew at a faster rate
than these expenses. 

OPERATING INCOME

     Operating income increased 41%, from $13.9 million to $19.6 million, in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998.  As a percentage of revenue, operating income
increased to 16.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from 13.8% in the same
quarter of fiscal 1997.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") were $29.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998
and $21.2 million for the same quarter of fiscal 1997, a 41% gain.  As a
percentage of revenue, EBITDA was 25% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 versus
21% for the same period in fiscal 1997.  The Company's EBITDA formula and
results as a percentage of revenue may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies.  However, management believes this
statistic is a relevant form of measurement and provides a comparable operating
income measure excluding the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles
and potential timing differences associated with capital expenditures and the
related depreciation charges.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Cash flow from operations provides the Company with a significant source of
liquidity to meet its needs.  At August 31, 1997, the Company and its
subsidiaries had cash and cash equivalents totaling $18.2 million.  Net cash
provided by operating activities decreased 24% to $15.7 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, from $20.7 million in the same period in fiscal 1997.
However, cash provided by operations before changes in working capital was $21.9
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, an increase of $5.5 million (34%)
compared to the same quarter in the prior year.   This difference is primarily
driven by the increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from the
fiscal 1997 acquisition activities and higher net income in the first quarter.
 
  Cash was required in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to fund net changes in
working capital of $6.2 million, compared to cash provided by net changes in
working capital of $4.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The
change in working capital resulted primarily from changes in net merchant
processing funds.  The changes in net merchant processing working capital
reflect normal fluctuations in the timing of credit card sales processed.

  For the first quarter of fiscal 1998, cash used in investing activities
increased to $12.8 million, compared to $4.0 million in the same period of
fiscal 1997.  Capital expenditures increased 16% during the first quarter of
fiscal 1998, as the Company continues to invest in capital programs related to
growth in the business and acceleration of certain strategic initiatives.  Also
during the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company completed the acquisition
of two United Kingdom-based pharmacy systems companies.  The Company has
financed its acquisition program through cash flows from operations, equity and
debt offerings.

  Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $4.0 million for the
quarter ending August 31, 1997 from $15.8 in the same period of the prior year.
During the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, the Company repaid $15.0
million on its line of credit, with the balance paid-in-full during the second
quarter of that fiscal year.  Also, debt repayments and distributions to
minority interests increased $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, during
the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

  The Company has an unsecured $50.0 million revolving line of credit which
expires in May 1999.  Additionally, the Company's Global Payment Systems
subsidiary has an unsecured $50.0 million revolving line of credit which expires
in July 1999.  As of August 31, 1997, there were no amounts outstanding under
either facility.  Management believes that its current level of cash and
borrowing capability, along with future cash flows from operations, are
sufficient to meet the needs of its existing operations and its planned
operations for the foreseeable future.  The Company regularly evaluates cash
requirements for current operations, commitments, development activities and
strategic acquisitions.  The Company may elect to raise additional funds for
these purposes, either through the issuance of additional debt, equity or
otherwise, as appropriate.
