                         Report of Independent Auditors



Board of Directors
REAL Applications, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of REAL Distributor (A Division
of REAL Applications, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of El Camino Resources,
Ltd.), as of April 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of income,
changes in home office account, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended April 30, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of REAL Distributor (A Division of
REAL Applications, Ltd.) at April 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
April 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

REAL Distributor (the Division) is a division of REAL Applications, Ltd.
(Parent) and has no separate legal status or existence. The Parent is a wholly
owned subsidiary of El Camino Resources, Ltd. (ECR or Affiliate). The Division
and the Parent are preferred providers of IBM equipment and economically
dependent on ECR for financing its operations. The principal business of the
Division is the distribution of mid-range servers, consisting primarily of IBM
hardware and software, to resellers. As one of six IBM authorized distributors,
it supports over 200 resellers across the United States. As a value-added
distributor, the Division provides complete support to its resellers for
hardware, software technical issues, IBM equipment maintenance and product
education.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On September 8, 1998, the Parent executed an agreement (Sales Agreement) for the
sale of the Division to an unrelated third party. The Sales Agreement represents
an asset sale by the Parent and results in the disposal of certain distribution
assets and inventories. The Sales Agreement also provides for a covenant not to
compete by the Parent, ECR and certain officers of ECR, an agreement whereby the
Parent will obtain certain equipment exclusively from the buyer for a three year
period and an agreement whereby the Parent will provide facilities and
administrative support to the buyer through December 31, 1998. Total
consideration received by the Parent under the Sales Agreement totaled
$12,875,000. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the effects of the Sales Agreement.

In preparing the financial statements of the Division, management of the Parent
determined that on May 1, 1995, the Parent transferred assets and liabilities
related to its IBM partner segment to the Division for net contribution from the
Parent of $228,525, which represents the net historical book value of the assets
and liabilities transferred to the Division. Assets transferred to the Division
consisted primarily of accounts receivable of $1,090,694 and inventories of
$54,451 net of liabilities assumed by the Division consisting primarily of
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $916,620.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

ALLOCATIONS FROM PARENT AND INTEREST CHARGES FROM AFFILIATE

The Division shares office facilities, certain employees and other resources
with the Parent and Affiliate. The financial statements of the Division include
allocations from the Parent and Affiliate for indirect expenses for the shared
resources. The expenses have been allocated based upon such factors as items
specifically identified as related to the Division, management's estimates of
the Division's portion of shared general and administrative expenses, number of
transactions processed on behalf of the Division and square footage utilized by
the Division. The indirect allocated expenses are included in the statements of
income as selling, general and administrative charges from Parent and Affiliate.
The indirect expenses allocated may not necessarily be representative of what
actual expenses would have been if the Division were independent; however, the
allocations are considered by management to be a reasonable approximation of the
costs incurred for the benefit of the Division.

Interest expense charges from Affiliate represent the Division's portion of the
Parent's interest charges from ECR and are allocated based upon relative
accounts receivable plus inventories less accounts payable of the Division times
an interest rate representing the prime rate obtained by the Affiliate plus 1.5%
(10.00% and 9.75% at April 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively).

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Division performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are
generally due within 30 days. Credit losses have been generally within
management's expectations and have not been significant.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, although
management does not believe that any differences would materially affect the
Division's financial position or results of operations.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of new and used equipment held for sale and is valued at the
lower of cost or market using the specific-identification method.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

FURNITURE AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

          Computer equipment                   3 - 5 years
          Furniture and office equipment           5 years

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Division reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss
would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the
use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
No such impairment losses have been identified by the Division.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recognized when products are shipped.

SIGNIFICANT SUPPLIER

Cost of sales of equipment related to products purchased from IBM represents a
substantial portion of total cost of goods sold for the years ended April 30,
1998, 1997 and 1996. Included in accounts payable at April 30, 1998 and 1997,
are amounts owed to this supplier totaling 98% and 97%, respectively, of the
accounts payable balance.

INCOME TAXES

The Division is included in ECR's consolidated federal income tax return and
combined state tax returns through April 30, 1998. All tax assets or liabilities
are received or paid and recorded by ECR. Under a tax sharing agreement, income
taxes are allocated to the Division on an annual basis using the separate return
method. The Division accounts for the allocation of current income taxes as an
adjustment to the home office account.

Deferred taxes are recognized by the Division using the liability method, and
tax rates are applied to cumulative temporary differences based on when and how
they are expected to affect the tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are adjusted for tax rate changes.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
(SFAS No. 130), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The Division will adopt SFAS No. 130 in fiscal 1999 and does not expect that
the adoption will have a material effect on its financial statements.

2.  FURNITURE AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT, NET

Furniture and office equipment, net, consisted of the following at April 30,
1998:

          Computer equipment                   $486,722
          Furniture and office equipment         20,452

                                               $468,987
                                               ========

3.  NOTE RECEIVABLE

In November, 1997, the Division loaned $200,000 to an unrelated party. The note
receivable is due in five annual installments of $40,000 commencing November 1,
1998, and bears interest at 10% per annum. The note is collateralized by the net
assets of the unrelated party and guaranteed by an officer of the unrelated
party.

4.  ADVANCES FROM AFFILIATE

Advances from Affiliate are accounted for as a contribution to the Division by
its Affiliate. The home office account acts as a clearing account for
transactions between the Affiliate, the Parent and the Division. There are no
terms of settlement or interest charges associated with the account balance. The
balance is primarily the result of the Division's participation in the
Affiliate's cash management program, wherein all of the Division's cash receipts
are remitted to the Affiliate and all cash disbursements are funded by the
Affiliate. Other transactions include allocations of selling, general and
administrative expenses incurred by the Parent and Affiliate on behalf of the
Division, interest charges from the Parent and the Division's pro rata share of
the current portion of the Affiliate's consolidated federal income tax liability
and combined state tax liability. The home office account will be repaid to the
Affiliate through positive cash flows of the Division.

8.  YEAR 2000 ISSUE - UNAUDITED

Many existing computer programs and databases use only two digits to identify a
year in the date field (i.e., 98 would represent 1998). These programs and
databases were designed and developed without considering the impact of the
upcoming millennium. If not corrected, many computer systems could fail or
create erroneous results relating to the year 2000. The Division is supported by
the Parent and ECR for all of its computer and information technology needs. The
Parent and ECR have completed their year 2000 compliance plans related to
internal systems and do not anticipate problems with their systems at the
millennium.

        Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations

                      For the Year Ended December 31, 1997


NOTE A--ACQUISITION:

On September 8, 1998, Savoir Technology Group, Inc. (the Company) through its
subsidiary, Business Partner Solutions, Inc. (BPS) acquired the IBM mid-range
systems distribution business of Real Applications, Ltd. (REAL).  Pursuant to
the terms of agreement between the Company and REAL, BPS acquired the IBM
mid-range systems distribution business of REAL for $12,875,000, consisting of
a cash payment at closing of the transaction. 

The Company funded the transaction through a $15,000,000 loan obtained from its
principal lender, IBM Credit Corporation.

NOTE B--PRESENTATION:

For purposes of the pro forma combined data, REAL's financial data for the
twelve months ended October 31, 1997 and nine months ended July 31, 1998, have
been combined with the Company's financial data for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

NOTE C--EXCESS OF COSTS OVER ACQUIRED NET ASSETS AND OTHER INTANGIBLES:

The total purchase price of the REAL acquisition was allocated in accordance
with the provisions of APB No. 16 for purchase transactions and accordingly was
based on fair value of net tangible assets acquired with the excess allocated to
goodwill. As no tangible assets were acquired from REAL, the full amount of the
purchase price $12,875,000, was allocated to goodwill.

NOTE D--PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

(1)      Represents reclassification of sales commission expense from cost of
         goods sold to selling, general and administrative expense to conform to
         the Company's historical presentation of such expenses.

(2)      Represents elimination of selling, general and administrative expense
         allocation from REAL's parent company. These costs will be absorbed by
         the Company without any significant additional incremental costs to the
         Company.

(3)      Represents amortization expense of goodwill and acquisition cost, using
         the straight-line method over a twenty-year period for goodwill and
         five years for acquisition costs.

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

(4)      Represents interest expense on the $15,000,000 borrowed by the Company
         to fund the purchase price and working capital requirements of the
         acquisition. Interest expense was calculated at the Company's average
         rate of interest for the period.

(5)      Represents the elimination of the interest expense allocation from
         REAL's parent company. All appropriate interest expense related to the
         REAL acquisition has been captured in pro forma adjustment noted above.

(6)      Represents income taxes on the effect of the inclusion of REAL's
         operating income and the pro forma adjustments as set forth above.

        Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations

                  For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998


NOTE A--PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

(1)      Represents reclassification of sales commission expense from cost of
         goods sold to selling, general and administrative expense to conform to
         the Company's historical presentation of such expenses.

(2)      Represents elimination of selling, general and administrative expense
         allocation from REAL's parent company. These costs will be absorbed by
         the Company without any significant additional incremental costs to the
         Company.

(3)      Represents amortization expense of goodwill and acquisition cost, using
         the straight-line method over a twenty year period for goodwill and
         five years for acquisition costs.

(4)      Represents interest expense on the $15,000,000 borrowed by the Company
         to fund the purchase price and working capital requirements of the
         acquisition. Interest expense was calculated at the Company's average
         rate of interest for the period.

(5)      Represents the elimination of the interest expense allocation from
         REAL's parent company. All appropriate interest expense related to the
         REAL acquisition has been captured in pro forma adjustment noted above.

(6)      Represents income taxes on the effect of the inclusion of REAL's
         operating income and the pro forma adjustments as set forth above.

NOTE B - LOSS PER SHARE:

Net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 is due to an
extraordinary item ($2,338,000) and dividends paid on preferred stock
($5,059,000).
