                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1995
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set
     forth in its Annual Report and its Report on Form 10-K filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  Users of financial information
     produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes
     contained in the Annual Report when reviewing interim financial results.

     In June, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its
     wholly-owned subsidiary, Electronic Form Systems Incorporated ("EFS").  The
     operating results of EFS have been treated as discontinued operations, and
     previously published financial statements have been restated to conform
     with this presentation.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include
     all material adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring
     accruals) for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial
     position and results of operations.  The results of operations for the
     three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Certain prior
     period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the
     presentation in the current period statements.


2.   ACQUISITIONS

     On April 14, 1995, the Company purchased an auditing software product line
     and certain intangibles from Sequel/McGladrey Software for $4.0 million.
     The purchase price consisted of cash of $1.8 million and an unsecured note
     payable for $2.2 million.  The purchase price was allocated primarily to
     intangible assets in the amount of $3.4 million (estimated fair values at
     date of acquisition), including $910,000 of cost in excess of fair values
     of net assets acquired which will be amortized over 5 years.

     On June 16, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
     Rent Roll, Inc. ("Rent Roll") and its affiliates.  Rent Roll markets
     residential property management software and services to multi-family
     property management and development companies.  The purchase price was
     approximately $2.8 million consisting of cash of $2.2 million, the
     assumption of $76,000 in ongoing support obligations and a liability of
     $480,000 for noncompete agreements payable in annual installments over 4
     years.  The purchase price was allocated based on estimated fair values of
     assets and support obligations acquired at date of acquisition, including
     intangible assets of $1.1 million which will be amortized over 5 years.
     Such allocation did not result in cost in excess of fair values of net
     assets acquired.  The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
     method, and accordingly, the results of its operations have been included
     in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements beginning June 16, 1995.
     The acquisition did not have a material pro forma impact on operations.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
                                  June 30, 1995
                                   (Unaudited)


3.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     On April 14, 1995, the Company signed an unsecured promissory note in the
     amount of $2.2 million in connection with the purchase of an audit software
     product line and customer base.  The note is payable in twelve equal
     quarterly payments of $187,500 from June 30, 1995, to March 31, 1998, with
     interest at 9%.


4.   RELATED PARTY GUARANTEE

     The Company is currently guarantor for repayment of up to $2.0 million
     related to a four-year bank loan made to the Company's President effective
     September 24, 1993.  In this regard the Company has caused to be issued a
     letter of credit in favor of the lender for the amount of the guarantee
     under its own bank line of credit.  The President is obligated to reimburse
     the Company for any amount it may be required to pay in honoring the
     guarantee.  He has collateralized that obligation with shares of the
     Company's common stock with a market value, at June 30, 1995, substantially
     in excess of the Company's guarantee.


5.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In June, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its 
     wholly-owned subsidiary, Electronic Form Systems Incorporated ("EFS"), 
     to Vanier Graphics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American 
     Business Products, Inc. ("ABP").  As consideration for the sale, the 
     Company received cash of $3.0 million, shares of ABP common stock valued
     at $6.0 million and a receivable for approximately $800,000 to be paid
     within 90 days of closing.  The sale resulted in a gain of $4.7 million 
     after taxes of $3.1 million.

     Prior period financial statements have been restated to reflect the 
     discontinuation of the EFS segment.  Revenues of discontinued operations
     were $1.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and six 
     months ended June 30, 1995.  For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 
     1994, revenues were $2.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

     The Company retained the building which had been partially occupied by EFS.
                                        
6.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
     1995, was computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of
     common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.

                                   (Unaudited)


7.   INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995,
     is approximately 32.0% of income before taxes compared to 38.2% in 1994.
     The lower tax rate in 1995 is due to the issuance of final regulations
     under the Research and Experimentation Credit.  The Company has undergone a
     study and has determined that more of its research activities will qualify
     as Research and Experimentation under these regulations.


8.   SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES FOR CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents are considered to be
     temporary cash investments purchased with a maturity of three months or
     less.

     Supplemental schedules of cash payments are provided below (in thousands):

     On June 5, 1995, the Company paid a $1.4 million dividend at the rate of
     $0.10 per share to shareholders of record on May 18, 1995.  There were 14.0
     million shares outstanding on May 18, 1995.

REVENUES AND EXPENSES:  1995 COMPARED TO 1994

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 1995, increased by $1.6 million
or 8.5% to $21.1 million from $19.5 million for the same period in 1994.  This
increase was primarily due to the acquisitions discussed below and from
increased sales to banks and corporations.

Year-to-date revenues increased $4.3 million or 8.6% to $53.4 million in 1995
from $49.1 million in 1994.  The increase in year-to-date revenues resulted
primarily from those same acquisitions and increased sales to accounting firms
and banks offset by lower year-to-date sales to corporations.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Effective December 1, 1994, the Company acquired operations formerly conducted
by Prentice-Hall Professional Software, Inc.  Revenues from this acquisition,
included in consolidated results, were $1.8 million and $3.4 million,
respectively, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 1995.  In
addition, in April of this year the Company completed the purchase of an
auditing software product line and customer base from Sequel/McGladrey Software,
followed in June by the purchase of a residential property management software
line and customer base from Rent Roll, Inc.

Cost of revenues were $11.6 million or 54.8% of revenues in the second quarter
of 1995 compared to $10.1 million or 51.7% of revenues in 1994.  Year-to-date
cost of revenues were $26.5 million or 49.8% of revenues in 1995 compared to
$23.8 million or 48.4% of revenues for the same period in 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.8 million or 41.5% of
revenues for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $7.2 million or 37.2% of
revenues in 1994.  Year-to-date selling, general and administrative expenses
were $17.2 million or 32.2% of revenues in 1995 compared to $15.2 million or
30.9% of revenues in 1994.

As anticipated, higher costs and expenses in 1995 were primarily due to the
acquisitions discussed above and increased expenditures for product development.

Second quarter operating profits decreased to approximately $800,000 in 1995
from $2.2 million in 1994 primarily due to increased product development costs
and lower operating profits from banks and corporations.  Operating profits
decreased slightly to $9.6 million for the first six months of 1995 from $10.2
million for the same period in 1994 as a result of the revenue increases which
were offset by increased product development costs and lower operating profits
from sales to corporations.


INTEREST, DISPOSALS OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, AND PROVISION FOR TAXES

Interest income for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 1995,
increased as compared to the same periods in 1994 due to higher balances of cash
equivalents and short-term investments as well as higher interest rates in 1995.
Interest expense declined in 1995 due to reduced debt levels.  Gain on disposals
of property and equipment for the first six months of 1995 decreased from 1994
due to the sale of land and equipment in 1994.

The estimated income tax expense for the first six months of 1995 declined to
32.0% of income before taxes from 38.2% in 1994 due to the issuance of final
regulations under the Research and Experimentation Credit.  The Company has
undergone a study and has determined that more of its research activities will
qualify as Research and Experimentation under these regulations.


INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company recorded income from continuing operations of approximately $800,000
and $7.0 million for the second quarter and the first six months of 1995,
respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $6.7 million for the same periods in
1994, respectively.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 23, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its 
wholly-owned subsidiary, Electronic Form Systems Incorporated ("EFS"), reported
previously as the electronic form systems business segment.  All periods have
been restated to reflect discontinued operations.  The Company's results from
discontinued operations, net of income tax effect, were a loss of approximately
$15,000 for the quarter and income of $76,000 for the year-to-date period ended
June 30, 1995, as compared to income of approximately $225,000 and $295,000 for
the same periods in 1994, respectively.  A portion of the operating expenses
allocated to this business segment will continue to be reported by the Company.
A gain of $4.7 million, net of income taxes, on the sale of EFS was recorded
during the second quarter of 1995.  For additional information, see Note 5 in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


NET RESULTS

The impact on the Company of all the changes described above was to increase
second quarter net income by $3.9 million or 235.1% to $5.5 million or $0.38 per
share in 1995 from $1.6 million or $0.11 per share in 1994.  Year-to-date
results increased by $4.8 million or 68.0% to $11.8 million or $0.82 per share
in 1995 from $7.0 million or $0.49 per share for the same period in 1994.

Excluding the gain on the sale of EFS, the Company anticipates that operating
profits for the year will not be materially effected by the disposal of the
segment.

As expected, second quarter operating results were lower than last year due to
seasonal revenue changes and higher overall product development expenses.  The
Company expects a similar downward trend in the third quarter with improved
results in the fourth quarter.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents was $7.8 million higher at the end
of the first six months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 due to
decreased net cash from operations of $1.4 million offset by increased net cash
provided by investing activities of $1.6 million and decreased net cash used by
financing activities of $7.6 million.  Net cash provided from operating
activities decreased primarily due to net working capital fluctuations in the
ordinary course of business.  Net cash provided by investing activities
increased primarily due to a $6.4 million increase in net proceeds from the sale
of short-term investments and the $3.3 million received from the sale of
discontinued operations in 1995 offset by $4.3 million paid for acquisitions and
a $3.8 million net increase in capital expenditures and software.  The decrease
in cash used by financing activities was primarily attributable to the early
payoff of debt in 1994.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Concluded)


The Company made investments in property and equipment of $2.8 million in the
first six months of 1995 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 1994.
At June 30, 1995, the Company had no material commitments and it is anticipated
that investments in property and equipment will be approximately $5.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

During the first six months of 1995, the Company capitalized $3.0 million of
software development costs compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 1994.
As anticipated, capitalized software development costs increased in 1995 due to
the accelerated development of Microsoft (REGISTERED) Windows(TRADEMARK)
applications.

At June 30, 1995, the Company had a maximum line of credit commitment from two
banks of $12.0 million.  Availability under the $12.0 million credit facility is
reduced by the $2.0 million letter of credit referred to in Note 4 in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.  Applying the availability formula
contained in the loan agreement, a maximum of $6.5 million was available to the
Company as of June 30, 1995.  There were no borrowings outstanding under the
credit line at June 30, 1995, June 30, 1994, or December 31, 1994.  The $12.0
million facility expires in June 1996.  The availability of this line of credit,
together with funds generated from operations, is expected to be sufficient for
seasonal liquidity requirements and capital needs of the Company.

In connection with the acquisition of the Sequel/McGladrey software, the Company
signed a $2.2 million unsecured promissory note on April 14, 1995.   For
additional information, see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including the current portion,
increased to approximately $2.1 million at June 30, 1995, compared to
approximately $500,000 at June 30, 1994, due to the addition of the unsecured
promissory note in the second quarter of 1995 coupled with scheduled reductions
in borrowings in 1994.   The Company had no long-term debt or capital lease
obligations at December 31, 1994.

On June 5, 1995, the Company paid a $1.4 million dividend at the rate of $0.10
per share to shareholders of record on May 18, 1995.  At its July 25, 1995,
meeting, the Board of Directors declared a dividend for the third quarter of
1995 at a rate of $0.10 per share.  The dividend is payable August 29, 1995, to
shareholders of record on August 11, 1995.
