                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 June 30, 1996


     NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     ------   ---------------------

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-QSB and,
     therefore, do not include all information and footnotes which would be
     presented were such financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles, and should be read in
     conjunction with the audited financial statements presented in the
     Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.  In
     the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
     reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of
     the results of operations for the interim periods presented.  The
     results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.

     Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
     have been reclassified to conform with the June 30, 1996 presentation.


     NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF CLINITEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
     ------   -------------------------------------------

     In April 1995, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with
     Clinitec International, Inc. ("Clinitec"), a developer of electronic
     medical records software systems.  In May 1995 in connection with this
     relationship, the Company acquired a 25% percent ownership interest in
     Clinitec for $1.0 million in cash.  On May 17, 1996, the Company
     acquired the remaining 75% of Clinitec for approximately $4.9 million
     in cash plus 309,846 shares of QSI Common Stock and is operating
     Clinitec as a wholly-owned subsidiary.  For purposes of the May 1996
     acquisition, the QSI Common Stock was valued at approximately $6.9
     million, or $22.25 per share.  For accounting purposes, the
     acquisition was treated as a purchase transaction.  In connection with
     this treatment, the Company incurred an $8.3 million charge for
     purchased in-process research and development during the quarter ended
     June 30, 1996.


     NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
     ------   ------------

     The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
     1996 differs from statutory rates primarily due to the non-deductible
     charge for purchased in-process research and development.

     Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
     -------  -----------------------------------------------------------
              and Results of Operations
              -------------------------

     RISK FACTORS

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
     discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are forward-looking
     statements which involve risk and uncertainties, including but not
     limited to economics, competitive, governmental and technological
     factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products,
     services and prices and other factors discussed in the Company's
     filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     DEPENDENCE ON PRINCIPAL PRODUCT AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - The
     Company currently derives substantially all of its net revenues from
     sales of its health care information systems and related services. The
     Company believes that a primary factor in the market acceptance of its
     systems has been its ability to meet the needs of users of health care
     information systems.  The Company's future financial performance will
     depend in large part on the Company's ability to continue to meet the
     increasingly sophisticated needs of its clients through the timely
     development and successful introduction of new and enhanced versions
     of its systems and other complementary products.  The Company has
     historically expended a significant amount of its net revenues on
     product development and believes that significant continuing product
     development efforts will be required to sustain the Company's growth.

     There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its
     product development efforts, that the market will continue to accept
     the Company's existing or new products, or that products or product
     enhancements will be developed in a timely manner, meet the
     requirements of health care providers or achieve market acceptance.
     If new products or product enhancements do not achieve market
     acceptance, the Company's business, operating results and financial
     condition could be adversely affected.  At certain times in the past,
     the Company has also experienced delays in purchases of its products
     by clients anticipating the launch of new products by the Company.
     There can be no assurance that material order deferrals in
     anticipation of new product introductions will not occur.

     COMPETITION - The market for health care information systems is
     intensely competitive and the Company faces significant competition
     from a number of different sources.  In addition, several of the
     Company's competitors have significantly greater financial,
     technical, product development and marketing resources than the
     Company.  The industry is highly fragmented and includes numerous
     competitors, none of which the Company believes dominates the overall
     market for group practice management systems.

     Among the Company's principal competitors are health care information
     systems companies such as IDX Corporation, Medic Computer Systems,
     Physician Computer Networks, Inc., and Cycare Systems, Inc.
     Furthermore, the Company also competes indirectly and to varying
     degrees with other major health care information companies,
     information management companies generally, and other software
     developers which may more directly enter the markets in which the

<PAGE> 7

     Company competes.  There can be no assurance that future competition
     will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
     financial condition and results of operations.  Competitive pressures
     and other factors, such as new product introductions by the Company or
     its competitors, may result in price erosion that could have a
     material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
     and results of operations.

     The Company believes that once a health care provider has chosen a
     particular health care information system vendor, the provider will,
     for a period of time, be more likely to rely on that vendor for its
     future information system requirements.  As the health care industry
     undergoes further consolidation, each sale of the Company's systems
     assumes even greater importance to the Company's business, financial
     condition and results of operations.  The Company's inability to make
     initial sales of its systems to health care providers that are
     replacing or substantially modifying their health care information
     systems could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
     business, financial condition and results of operations.

     TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE - The software market generally is characterized
     by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new
     product introductions and evolving industry standards.  The
     introduction of products incorporating new technologies and the
     emergence of new industry standards could render the Company's
     existing products obsolete and unmarketable.  There can be no
     assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and
     marketing new products that respond to technological changes or
     evolving industry standards.  If the Company is unable, for
     technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products
     in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or
     customer requirements, the Company's business, results of operations
     and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

     The Company is currently developing a new generation of its software
     products that will be designed for the client/server environment.
     There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop
     these new software products or that these products will operate
     successfully on the principal client/server operating systems, which
     include UNIX, Microsoft Windows, Windows NT and Windows 95, or that
     any such development, even if successful, will be completed
     concurrently with or prior to introduction by competitors of products
     designed for the client/server environment.  Any such failure or delay
     could adversely affect the Company's competitive position or could
     make the Company's current product line designed for the UNIX
     environment obsolete.

     FLUCTUATION IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS - The Company's revenues
     and operating results have in the past fluctuated, and may in the
     future fluctuate, from quarter to quarter and period to period as a
     result of a number of factors including, without limitation, the size
     and timing of orders from clients; the length of sales cycles and
     installation processes; the ability of the Company's clients to obtain
     financing for the purchase of the Company's products; changes in
     pricing policies or price reductions by the Company or its
     competitors; the timing of new product announcements and product
     introductions by the Company or its competitors; the availability and
     cost of supplies; the financial stability of major clients; market

<PAGE> 8


     acceptance of new products, applications and product enhancements; the
     Company's ability to develop, introduce and market new products,
     applications and product enhancements and to control costs; the
     Company's success in expanding its sales and marketing programs;
     deferrals of client orders in anticipation of new products,
     applications or product enhancements; changes in Company strategy;
     personnel changes; and general economic factors.

     The Company's products are generally shipped as orders are received
     and accordingly, the Company has historically operated with little
     backlog.  As a result, sales in any quarter are dependent on orders
     booked and shipped in that quarter and are not predicatable with any
     degree of certainty.  In addition, the Company's initial contact with
     a potential customer depends in significant part on the customer's
     decision to replace, or substantially modify, its existing information
     system.  How and when to implement, replace or substantially modify an
     information system are major decisions for health care providers.
     Accordingly, the sales cycle for the Company's systems can vary
     significantly and typically ranges from three to 12 months from
     initial contact to contract execution and the installation cycle is
     typically two to three months from contract execution to completion of
     installation.  Because a significant percentage of the Company's
     expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of systems
     sales and installations can cause significant variations in operating
     results from quarter to quarter.  As a result, the Company believes
     that interim period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations
     are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as
     indications of future performance.

     Further, the Company's historical operating results are not
     necessarily indicative of future performance for any particular period
     and there can be no assurance that the Company's recent revenue growth
     or its profitability will continue on a quarterly or annual basis.
     Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some
     future quarter the Company's operating results may be below the
     expectations of public market analysts and investors.  In such event,
     the price of the Company's Common Stock would likely be materially
     adversely affected.

     PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY - The Company is heavily dependent on the
     maintenance and protection of its intellectual property and relies
     largely on license agreements, confidentiality procedures and employee
     nondisclosure agreements to protect its intellectual property.  The
     Company's software is not patented and existing copyright laws offer
     only limited practical protection.  There can be no assurance that the
     legal protections and precautions taken by the Company will be
     adequate to prevent misappropriation of the Company's technology or
     that competitors will not independently develop technologies
     equivalent or superior to the Company's.  Further, the laws of some
     foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to
     as great an extent as do the laws of the United States.

     The Company does not believe that its operations or products infringe
     on the intellectual property rights of others.  However, there can be
     no assurance that others will not assert infringement or trade secret
     claims against the Company with respect to its current or future
     products or that any such assertion will not require the Company to
     enter into a license agreement or royalty arrangements with the party

<PAGE> 9

     asserting the claim.  As competing health care information systems
     increase in complexity and overall capabilities and the functionality
     of these systems further overlaps, providers of such systems may
     become increasingly subject to infringement claims.  Responding to and
     defending any such claims may distract the attention of Company
     management and have a material adverse effect on the Company's
     business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition,
     claims may be brought against third parties from which the Company
     purchases software, and such claims could adversely affect the
     Company's ability to access third party software for its systems.

     CLINITEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. - A principal component of the Company's
     business strategy is the acquisition of Clinitec International, Inc.
     ("Clinitec").  The Company's future financial results will depend in
     part on the Company's ability to successfully integrate Clinitec's
     business with the Company's, including Clinitec's ability to hire and
     retain high quality personnel for its operations.  There can be no
     assurance that the Company will be able to successfully coordinate its
     business activities with those of Clinitec.  Furthermore, there can be
     no assurance that the Company will be successful in integrating
     Clinitec products with those of the Company or that the acquisition of
     Clinitec will not have an adverse effect upon the Company's operating
     results.  In addition, Clinitec was formed in January 1994 to develop
     and market electronic medical records software systems.  Clinitec's
     proprietary software products are new and Clinitec has sold only a
     limited quantity of these products to date.  There can be no assurance
     that Clinitec's products will achieve broad market acceptance.

     ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH - The Company has recently experienced a
     period of growth and increased personnel which has placed, and will
     continue to place, a significant strain on the Company's resources.
     The Company anticipates expanding its overall software development,
     marketing, sales, client management and training capacity.  In the
     event the Company is unable to identify, hire, train and retain
     qualified individuals in such capacities within a reasonable time
     frame, such failure could have a material adverse effect on the
     Company.  In addition, the Company's ability to manage future
     increases, if any, in the scope of its operations or personnel will
     depend on significant expansion of its research and development,
     marketing and sales, management and financial and administrative
     capabilities.  The failure of the Company's management to effectively
     manage expansion in its business could have a material adverse effect
     on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
     condition.

     PRODUCT LIABILITY - Certain of the Company's products provide
     applications that relate to patient medical information.  Any failure
     by the Company's products to provide accurate and timely information
     could result in claims against the Company.  The Company maintains
     insurance to protect against claims associated with the use of its
     products, but there can be no assurance that its insurance coverage
     would adequately cover any claim asserted against the Company.  A
     successful claim brought against the Company in excess of its
     insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
     Even unsuccessful claims could result in the Company's expenditure of
     funds in litigation and management time and resources.  There can be
     no assurance that the Company will not be subject to product liability

<PAGE> 10

     claims, that such claims will not result in liability in excess of its
     insurance coverage, that the Company's insurance will cover such
     claims or that appropriate insurance will continue to be available to
     the Company in the future at commercially reasonable rates.  Such
     claims could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business,
     financial condition and results of operations.

     UNCERTAINTY IN HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY; GOVERNMENT REGULATION - The
     health care industry is subject to changing political, economic and
     regulatory influences that may affect the procurement processes and
     operation of health care facilities.  During the past several years,
     the health care industry has been subject to an increase in
     governmental regulation of, among other things, reimbursement rates
     and certain capital expenditures.  Certain legislators have announced
     that they intend to examine proposals to reform certain aspects of the
     U.S. health care system including proposals which may increase
     governmental involvement in health care, lower reimbursement rates and
     otherwise change the operating environment for the Company's clients.
     Health care providers may react to these proposals and the uncertainty
     surrounding such proposals by curtailing or deferring investments,
     including those for the Company's systems and related services.  Cost
     containment measures instituted by health care providers as a result
     of regulatory reform or otherwise could result in greater selectivity
     in the allocation of capital funds.  Such selectivity could have an
     adverse effect on the Company's ability to sell its systems and
     related services.  The Company cannot predict what impact, if any,
     such proposals or health care reforms might have on its business,
     financial condition and results of operations.

     The Company's software may be subject to regulation by the U.S. Food
     and Drug Administration (the "FDA") as a medical device.  Such
     regulation could require the registration of the applicable
     manufacturing facility and software/hardware products, application of
     detailed recordkeeping and manufacturing standards, and FDA approval
     or clearance prior to marketing.  An approval or clearance could
     create delays in marketing, and the FDA could require supplemental
     filings or object to certain of these applications.

     DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL - The Company's future performance also
     depends in significant part upon the continued service of its key
     technical and senior management personnel, many of whom have been with
     the Company for a significant period of time.  Because the Company has
     a relatively small number of employees when compared to other leading
     companies in the same industry, its dependence on maintaining its
     employees is particularly significant.  The Company is also dependent
     on its ability to attract and retain high quality personnel,
     particularly highly skilled software engineers for applications
     development.  The industry is characterized by a high level of
     employee mobility and aggressive recruiting of skilled personnel.
     There can be no assurance that the Company's current employees will
     continue to work for the Company.  Loss of services of key employees
     could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
     results of operations and financial condition.  The Company does not
     maintain key man life insurance on any of its employees.  The Company
     may need to grant additional options to key employees and provide
     other forms of incentive compensation to attract and retain such key
     personnel.


<PAGE> 11

     GENERAL

     Since fiscal 1994, approximately one-half of the Company's revenues
     have been derived from sales of computer systems, upgrades and
     supplies, with the balance derived from systems maintenance agreements
     and other support services.  On sales of its systems, upgrades and
     supplies, the Company recognizes revenues upon shipment of products.
     Revenues attributable to the Company's software products included with
     the systems are also recognized upon shipment, unless the Company's
     installation obligations after shipment are significant, in which case
     revenues are recognized on a percentage of completion basis.  Revenues
     from systems maintenance are typically recognized ratably over the
     life of the contract.  In the last five years, more than 90% of the
     Company's clients have elected to purchase the Company's maintenance
     and support services.

     During the past five years, the Company's systems sales have been
     impacted by a number of factors which have had the effect of reducing
     systems sales and systems upgrade sales while at the same time
     increasing the relative profitability of these sales.  Historically,
     the cost for the hardware components used in the Company's systems
     have consistently declined while the performance and capacity of such
     components have continually increased.  Consistent with the
     marketplace, the Company has adjusted its systems pricing to its
     clients to reflect these decreased hardware costs.  In addition, the
     Company increasingly encounters prospective clients that already own,
     or desire to acquire from third parties, significant quantities of
     hardware which may be utilized with the Company's software.  In such
     instances, the sales generated from such clients are lower than they
     otherwise would be.

     As a result of these market changes, the Company has increasingly
     focused its efforts on the sale of its software user licenses and
     services, resulting in higher margins.  Aiding these efforts has been
     the continuing increase in the capacity of the hardware components
     which the Company markets.  The Company has had a growing market for
     the sale of additional software user licenses to its existing clients
     because such clients can often add more software user capacity to
     their system with minimal or no change to their current central
     processing unit.  Such clients frequently also purchase hardware
     peripherals from the Company for use with the newly purchased software
     user licenses.

     Health care providers, faced with economic pressures to reduce costs
     and increase productivity, are increasingly aligning with health
     maintenance organizations, hospitals and other health care
     organizations as well as consolidating with other health care
     providers into larger, more efficient business entities.  This trend
     results in an increase in the number of large and complex health care
     organizations that are potential clients for the Company's
     sophisticated systems.  In addition, the continued growth of these
     organizations after they become clients of the Company presents the
     potential for the Company to increase sales of upgrades and additional
     software user licenses.  The Company's ability to address the complex
     software requirements of such newly forming or growing business
     entities, in particular in the area of managed care, is a key to
     success in this changing health care delivery environment.


<PAGE> 12

     The sales cycle for the Company's systems typically ranges from three
     to 12 months from initial contact to contract execution.  The
     installation cycle is typically two to three months from contract
     execution to completion of installation.  Because a significant
     percentage of the Company's expenses are relatively fixed, a variation
     in the timing of systems sales and installations can cause significant
     variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.  The
     Company's products are generally shipped as orders are received and
     accordingly, the Company has historically operated with little
     backlog.  As a result, sales in any quarter are dependent on orders
     booked and shipped in that quarter and are not predictable with any
     degree of certainty.  Thus, the Company believes that interim
     period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not
     necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of
     future performance.

     The Company's research and development expenses consist primarily of
     personnel and equipment costs required to conduct the Company's
     product development effort.  The Company believes that significant
     investments in research and development are required to remain
     competitive.  As a consequence, in recent years, the Company has
     increased the amount of its expenditures on research and development,
     mainly through the employment of additional development personnel.
     Development costs incurred in the research and development of new
     software products and enhancements to existing software products are
     expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been
     established.  After technological feasibility is established, any
     additional development costs are capitalized and amortized over
     periods ranging from three to five years.

     In April 1995, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with
     Clinitec, a developer of electronic medical records software systems.
     In May 1995 in connection with this relationship, the Company acquired
     a 25% percent ownership interest in Clinitec for $1.0 million in cash.
     On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 75% of Clinitec
     for approximately $4.9 million in cash plus 309,846 shares of QSI
     Common Stock and is operating Clinitec as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
     For purposes of the May 1996 acquisition, the QSI Common Stock was
     valued at approximately $6.9 million, or $22.25 per share.  For
     accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a purchase
     transaction.  In connection with this treatment, the Company incurred
     an $8.3 million charge for purchased in-process research and
     development during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

     Clinitec was formed in January 1994 to develop and market electronic
     medical records software systems.  The Clinitec software products are
     complementary to the Company's existing medical and dental practice
     management product solutions.  Clinitec's software products have been
     developed using a graphical user interface client/server platform
     utilizing desktop, laptop or pen-based PC configurations for
     compatibility with the UNIX, Microsoft Windows, Windows NT and Windows
     95 operating systems and a relational database back end to permit
     flexibility in screen customization and logic flow.  Clinitec's
     proprietary software products are new and Clinitec has sold only a
     limited quantity of these products to date.  There can be no assurance
     that Clinitec's products will achieve broad market acceptance.

     For the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
     ---------------------------------------------------------

     After recognizing an $8.3 million charge for purchased in-process
     research and development in connection with the Clinitec acquisition,
     the Company incurred a net loss of $(7.8) million, or $(1.34) per
     share, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to net
     income of $537,000, or $0.11 per share, for the three months ended
     June 30, 1995.  In computing the net loss per share for the quarter
     ended June 30, 1996, the weighted average number of common shares
     outstanding was 5,806,712 and any common share equivalents were
     excluded from the calculation as their inclusion would have had an
     anti-dilutive effect. The difference between primary and fully diluted
     net income per share was not significant for the quarter ended June
     30, 1995 and the weighted average number of common shares and common
     share equivalents outstanding used to compute net income per share was
     4,730,540 for the June 30, 1995 period.

     Net Revenues.  Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996
     increased 25.0% to $4.7 million from $3.8 million for the three months
     ended June 30, 1995.  Sales of computer systems, upgrades and supplies
     increased 33.2% to $2.8 million from $2.1 million while net revenues
     from maintenance and other services grew 14.6% to $1.9 million from
     $1.7 million during the comparable periods.  The increases in net
     revenues from sales of computer systems, upgrades and supplies and
     maintenance and other services were principally due to the
     consolidation of Clinitec's net revenues during the portion of the
     quarter ended June 30, 1996 following the acquisition of Clinitec
     and a growing client base for recurring maintenance and other
     services.

     Cost of Products and Services.  Costs of products and services for the
     three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 35.7% to $2.3 million from
     $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 while costs of
     products and services as a percentage of net revenues increased to
     48.9% from 45.0% during the comparable periods.  The increase in costs
     of products and services in both amount and as a percentage of net
     revenues during the June 30, 1996 quarter as compared to the June 30,
     1995 quarter results from a combination of the effects of the increase
     in net revenues from sales of computer systems and upgrades; a
     reduced amount of higher margin proprietary software only sales as a
     proportion of total net revenues during the June 30, 1996 quarter as
     compared to the June 30, 1995 quarter; and, increased product
     development, customer service, support, and training personnel during
     the June 30, 1996 quarter reflecting the Company's recent growth in
     annual sales volumes.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
     administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996
     increased 55.3% to $1.4 million from $926,000 for the three months
     ended June 30, 1995 primarily as a result of the consolidation of
     Clinitec's selling, general and administrative expenses during the
     portion of the quarter ended June 30, 1996 following the acquisition
     of Clinitec and additional amortization expense related to certain
     intangible assets acquired in the purchase of Clinitec.  Also
     contributing to the increase in selling, general and administrative
     expenses are increases in the Company's selling efforts, sales
     personnel and administrative infrastructure.

<PAGE> 15


     Research and Development Costs.  Research and development costs for
     the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 28.7% to $457,000 from
     $355,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase is
     the result of increased research and development efforts by the
     Company as well as consolidation of Clinitec's research and
     development costs during the portion of the quarter ended June 30,
     1996 following the purchase of Clinitec.

     Purchased In-Process Research and Development.  In connection with the
     acquisition of Clinitec in May 1996, Clinitec's in-process research
     and development for which technological feasibility had not been
     established was valued at $8.3 million.  In accordance with Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs
     of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,"
     software development costs must be expensed until technological
     feasibility has been established.  Accordingly, the value of the
     purchased in-process research and development was expensed during the
     quarter ended June 30, 1996.  There were no comparable transactions
     during the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

     Investment Income and Equity in Loss of Clinitec International, Inc.
     Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased
     271.2% to $386,000 from $104,000 for the three months ended June 30,
     1995 primarily as a result of an increase in funds available for
     investment during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 arising from the
     Company's $20.2 million secondary public offering completed in March
     1996.  The equity in loss of Clinitec increased to $(31,000) for the
     three months ended June 30, 1996 from $(10,000) for the three months
     ended June 30, 1995.  The Company acquired a 25% ownership interest in
     Clinitec in May 1995 which was increased to 100% in May 1996.  During
     the period that the Company owned 25% of Clinitec, its investment was
     accounted for under the equity method of accounting whereby the
     Company recorded its proportionate share of Clinitec's losses as
     equity in loss of Clinitec.  Commencing in May 1996 when the Company
     acquired the remaining 75% of Clinitec, the Company consolidated
     Clinitec's results with those of its own operations.

     Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the
     three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 2.5% to $358,000 from
     $367,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The provision for
     income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1996 differs from
     statutory rates primarily due to the non-deductible charge for
     purchased in-process research and development.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
     --------------------------------

     Cash and cash equivalents decreased $(5.1) million for the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 principally as a result of the payment of
     the cash portion of the purchase price for the remaining 75% ownership
     interest in Clinitec in May 1996.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased
     $(434,000) for the three months ended June 30, 1995 principally as a
     result of the Company's $1.0 million initial cash investment for a 25%
     ownership interest in Clinitec in May 1995 partially offset by the
     proceeds from sales of short-term investments.


<PAGE> 16


     Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended
     June 30, 1996 was $89,000 consisting principally of $533,000 of
     income before the $8.3 million charge for purchased in-process
     research and development in connection with the acquisition of
     Clinitec plus amortization and depreciation expenses, a decrease in
     inventories and an increase in income taxes payable offset by an
     increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable.
     Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended
     June 30, 1995 was $84,000 consisting principally of net income and an
     increase in accounts payable offset by an increase in accounts
     receivable and a decrease in income taxes payable and taxes related to
     equity accounts.

     Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June
     30, 1996 was $(5.2) million consisting principally of the $4.9 million
     cash portion of the May 1996 purchase price of the remaining 75%
     ownership interest in Clinitec, related legal costs of the
     acquisition, and additions to equipment and improvements and
     capitalized software.  Net cash used in investing activities for the
     three months ended June 30, 1995 was $(518,000) consisting principally
     of the Company's $1.0 million cash investment to acquire 25% of
     Clinitec in May 1995 and additions to equipment and improvements and
     capitalized software partially offset by the proceeds from sales of
     short-term investments.

     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was negligible
     for both the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

     At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $22.8
     million and short-term investments of $1.2 million.  Short-term
     investments included debt securities issued by foreign governments of
     $357,000 and a $610,000 investment in a fund which trades in special
     situation securities.  The Company does not believe these investments
     have significant risk; however, there can be no assurance that the
     market for these securities will not change which could result in a
     loss of principal.

     Except for the Company's intention to expend funds on capitalized
     software in connection with alternative versions of certain of its
     products for the client/server environment to take advantage of more
     powerful technologies and to enable a more seamless integration of the
     Company's products, the Company has no significant capital commitments
     and currently anticipates that additions to equipment and improvements
     for the remainder of fiscal 1997 will be comparable to recent past
     years.  The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents and
     short-term investments on hand at June 30, 1996, together with the
     cash flows from operations, if any, will be sufficient to meet its
     working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next
     twelve months.

                                  ------------






     The net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was
     computed using the weighted average number of shares actually
     outstanding during the period and any common share equivalents
     assuming the exercise of outstanding stock options were excluded
     because to have included such common share equivalents would have had
     an anti-dilutive impact on the net loss per share calculation.  Net
     income per share for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was computed
     based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding,
     plus the shares that would be outstanding, using the treasury stock
     method, assuming the exercise of all outstanding options which were
     considered to be common stock equivalents.  The difference between
     primary and fully diluted net income per share was not significant for
     the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The weighted average number of
     common shares outstanding as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, were 5,806,712
     and 4,730,540, respectively.
