A. Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------

   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
   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 the rules and
   regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial
   statements should be used in conjunction with the consolidated financial
   statements and related notes contained in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-
   K. The financial information presented in the condensed consolidated
   financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in
   the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the period
   indicated.

B. Earnings (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
   ------------------------------------------------------

   Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share are based on the
   weighted average number of Class A and B shares outstanding, since the
   Company considers the two classes of common stock as one class for the
   purposes of the earnings (loss) per share computation, and share equivalents
   from dilutive stock options outstanding during each period. Share equivalents
   are excluded from the aforementioned computation during loss periods.

C. Acquisition
   -----------

   On January 11, 1996, the Company acquired 6,000 shares representing 60% of
   the capital stock of Intellimedia Commerce, Inc., a company providing
   Internet-related services, for $850,000 in cash. The transaction was
   accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, results of operations have been
   included since the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation, based
   upon preliminary estimates (subject to further adjustment), was made to
   assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the date of
   acquisition. The pro forma results are not significant to the accompanying
   condensed consolidated statements of operations.

                      Condition and Results of Operations

ITEM 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

For the quarter ended January 31, 1996, revenues totaled $17,372,474, down 16%
from $20,593,907 in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1995.  Revenues for the
nine months ended January 31, 1996 totaled $59,738,386, up 1% from $59,108,179
in the prior year period. Software license fees were 27% lower than the third
quarter of fiscal 1995 and 41% higher for the nine month period ended January
31, 1996 compared to the prior year. The reduction in license fee revenues for
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was primarily due to a significant shortfall in
sales of the Company's mainframe products.  Revenues from sales of its
client server product, Supply Chain Planning, increased 260% over the same
quarter last year and grew 190% for the nine month period versus a year ago.
The Company's ability to stabilize and grow total license fee revenues in the
near term depends on its ability to make sales of its mainframe and midrange
products while it continues to grow its client server business.

Services revenues  were 16% lower than the corresponding quarter a year ago and
19% lower on a year to date basis. The decline was in part due to a customer's
deferral of a significant services contract. Generally, services revenues were
below expectations given the levels of license fee revenues reported in the
preceding six to nine month period.  One factor contributing to the lower levels
is a lower rate of services requested for the Company's client server products
than that experienced for its mainframe and midrange products.  The Company
expects to generate significant services assisting its customers in preparing
their enterprise solutions to operate successfully through the turn of the
millennium.  Additionally, the Company continues to refine its services model
for client server implementations.

Maintenance revenues decreased 4% from third quarter 1995 and are up 2% for the
current nine months compared to fiscal 1995.  The quarterly decline and the
reduced rate of increase in the nine month period were due to reduced license
fees in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994 and 1993.

The cost of revenues for license fees decreased 11% compared to the third
quarter of fiscal 1995 and decreased 10% for the nine months ended January 31,
1996 due to attrition of personnel during the second half of fiscal 1995 and to
lower royalty expenses.  Services costs increased 2% versus the same quarter a
year ago due to increased outsourcing costs.  Service costs decreased 4% for the
nine months compared to the prior year period due to fewer personnel
requirements to provide the reduced consulting and programming services which
more than offset increases in outsourcing costs.  Maintenance costs increased
18% compared to the year ago third quarter, and increased 6% for the nine months
ended January 31, 1996 compared to the nine months ended January 31,1995 due to
increases in personnel costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 24% for the quarter and
decreased 23% for the nine months over the same periods in fiscal 1995.  The
decrease is primarily due to reductions in salaries and other costs associated
with fewer employees and an increase in the expenses deferred associated with
the capitalization of internally developed software.

Other income increased approximately $949,000 for the quarter and increased
approximately $1,115,000 for the nine months over the same periods in fiscal
1995.  The increase is primarily due to increases in the fair market value of
the Company's stock and bond portfolios, which are treated as a "trading"
portfolio under SFAS 115.

The effective tax benefit was 40% compared to 43% in the third quarter of fiscal
1995 and increased to 106% compared to 41% for the nine months ended January 31,
1995. The Company's tax rate fluctuates due to the impact of its tax-free
municipal bond interest.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The Company's operating activities provided cash of approximately $12.5 million
for the nine months ended January 31, 1996 and approximately $11.7 million in
the prior year period. This increase of approximately $800,000 occurred while
the Company had net earnings of $1,062 for the nine months ended January 31,
1996 and a net loss of approximately $6.9 million for the prior year period. The
primary reasons for this increase are: 1) Increased profitability during the
nine months ended  January 31, 1996 provided cash and substantially reduced the
creation of new refundable income taxes compared to prior year periods and  2)
The Company received an income tax refund in the current year from the carryback
of a net operating loss from the year ended April 30, 1995, of approximately
$4.1 million and  received approximately $3.7 million in the prior year period
for carryback of a net operating loss from the year ended April 30, 1994.  Cash
provided from these two factors was offset by the following uses of cash: 1) The
Company received less proceeds from the sale and maturity of investments in the
nine months ended January 31, 1996 compared to the prior year period and 2)
Accounts receivable showed a decrease at January 31, 1995 of approximately $4.8
million due to decreasing revenues, compared to a decrease of approximately
$200,000 at January 31, 1996.

Cash used for investing activities was approximately $11.8 million for the nine
months ended January 31, 1996 and approximately $8.8 million in the prior year
period. Comparing these two periods, one component of investing activities,
capitalized software development costs, increased approximately $3.9 million as
a result of increased product development efforts. Partially offsetting this
increase, purchases of property and equipment decreased approximately $1.7
million as between the nine months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 due primarily
to large investments made in the Company's computer outsourcing facilities in
the prior year period.  On January 11, 1996 the Company purchased a 60% interest
in Intellimedia Commerce, Inc., a company providing Internet-related services,
for $850,000.  The financial results from Intellimedia Commerce, Inc. have been
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of
acquisition, such results were immaterial to the Company.  The purchase price
allocation, based upon preliminary estimates (subject to further adjustment),
was made to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of
the date of acquisition.

Cash used for financing activities was approximately $128,000 for the nine
months ended January 31, 1996 and approximately $3.3 million in the prior year
period. The reduction in cash used between these two periods was due primarily
to the suspension of the quarterly dividend which occurred in the third quarter
of the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995.

                                       10

The Company's consolidated balance sheet remains strong with a current ratio of
2.4 to 1.  Liquidity also remains strong with cash and short-term investments
totaling 29% of total assets.  The Company believes that existing cash and
short-term investments as well as cash from operations will be sufficient to
meet its operational objectives for at least the next twelve month period.
