                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



       (1)  The unaudited consolidated financial information furnished herein
            reflects all adjustments  which in the opinion  of management are
            necessary to  fairly state the Company's  financial position, the
            changes  in  its  financial  position  and  the  results  of  its
            operations for the periods presented.  This report on Form 10-QSB
            should  be read  in conjunction  with the  Company's consolidated
            financial  statements  and notes  thereto  included  on pages  15
            through 23 of the Company's Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the
            fiscal year  ended January 31, 1997.   The Company  presumes that
            users of  the interim financial  information herein have  read or
            have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding
            fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed
            for  a  fair presentation  may  be  determined in  that  context.
            Accordingly,  footnote   disclosure  which   would  substantially
            duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company's Annual Report
            on Form  10-KSB for the  fiscal year ended  January 31,  1997 has
            been omitted.   The results of operations for the  three and six-
            month periods ended July 31, 1997  are not necessarily indicative
            of results for the entire year ending January 31, 1998.

       (2)  The Company  capitalizes software production costs  and the costs
            incurred  in  testing  new  or  significantly  enhanced  software
            products  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of  Statement  of
            Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,  _Accounting for the Costs
            of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed_.

       (3)  Included in  accrued expenses  at July 31,  1997 are  sales taxes
            totaling $60,000.

       (4)  The unaudited  interim consolidated financial  statements reflect
            all  adjustments  which  are,  in   the  opinion  of  management,
            necessary  to ensure  a fair  statement  of the  results for  the
            interim periods presented.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


       Results of Consolidated Operations

            This  Form  10-QSB  contains  historical  information  and  forward-
       looking statements.   Statements looking forward in time are  included in
       this Form 10-QSB  pursuant to the _safe harbor_ provision  of the Private
       Securities  Litigation  Reform Act  of  1995.   They  involve  known  and
       unknown  risks  and uncertainties  including,  but  not limited  to,  the
       timely availability of  new products, market acceptance of  the Company's
       new  products and  products under  development, the  impact of  competing
       products and pricing,  and quarterly fluctuations in operating  results. 
       The  Company's  actual  results  in  future  periods  may  be  materially
       different from any  future performance suggested herein.  In  the context
       of the forward-looking  information provided in this Form  10-QSB, please
       refer to  the discussion  of risk  factors detailed  in, as  well as  the
       other  information  contained  in, the  Company's  Form  10-KSB  and  the
       Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

            Total  reve nues  from  operation s i ncreased  $319,5 85,  or  25%,
       from $ 1,278,266 fo r the quarte r ended July  31, 1996   to  $1,59 7,851
       for  the curr ent compa rable qua rter.  For  the six month  period ended
       July  31,  1997, operating  revenues  increased  $258,780, or  11%,  from
       $2,452,415 at  July 31, 1996 to  $2,711,195 at July 31,  1997.    System 
       sales   revenues  increased   $345,596,  or  154%, from $225,008  for the
       quarter  ended July  31,  1996 to  $570,604  for the  current  comparable
       quarter.    System  sales  for  all   periods  presented  were  primarily
       comprised  of upgrade  sales,  sales of  hardware,  software and  various
       other third party  software products the Company is authorized  to resell
       to  its clients.   To  date, sales  of the  Company's Dimension  software
       product  have  been  minimal.    In  July  1997,  the  Company  announced
       completion  of version  2.1 of  its  Dimension time  and billing  system,
       offering  full  integration  with general  ledger  and  accounts  payable
       modules, a  data import program and  custom report writer utility.   With
       the  completion of  the integrated  product, coupled  with the  Company's
       current efforts aimed  at reevaluating its Dimension sales  and marketing
       activities, the  Company believes that  Dimension revenues will  begin to
       improve  with  the   anticipated  realignment  in  sales   and  marketing
       strategies.   Although  Dimension  product demonstrations  have  received
       favorable response from  attendees at recent conventions  and tradeshows,
       there  can  be  no  assurance  that   the  new  Dimension  products  will
       successfully  compete with  competitive products  or  that the  Company's
       revenues or  results of operations  will improve  in future  periods with
       the introduction of the Dimension product line.

            Servic es  and  s upport  re venues  de creased a  nominal $26 ,011,
       or  2%,  from  $1,053,25 8 for  the  quart er e nded  July  31,  1996  to
       $1,027 ,247 for t he quarter  ended J uly 31,  1997.   For  the six month
       period, services  and support  revenues decreased  $110,003, or 5%,  from
       $2,107,584  at July  31,  1996  to $1,997,581  at  July  31, 1997.    The
       decrease in  services and support  revenues relates primarily  to reduced
       maintenance revenues  associated with maintenance  contract cancellations
       initiated  by clients  opting  to continue  maintenance  on a  _time  and
       materials_  basis only.     In  addition,  overall reduced  services  and
       support revenues  are reflective of  diminished new sales  activities for
       the first half of the current fiscal year.

            Costs of system  sales as a percentage of system  sales revenue rose
       from 74%  for the  quarter ended  July 31, 1996  to 78%  for the  quarter
       ended July  31, 1997 due primarily  to reduced volume discounts  from the
       Company's supplier of hardware components.   Cost of services and support
       as a  percentage of services  and support revenues  was 8% for  the three
       month period ended July 31, 1997 compared with 7% for the quarter ended

       <PAGE>

       July 31, 1996.    Cost of services and support is  primarily comprised of
       personnel  costs  directly  associated with  the  performance  of  client
       services,  and certain  third  party  costs associated  with  maintenance
       revenue included in services and support revenue.

            Operating  expenses  for  the  three  months  ended  July  31,  1997
       decreased $171,654,  or 35%, from $485,628  at July 31, 1996  to $313,974
       at July  31, 1997.    The decrease  in operating  expenses for  the three
       month and s ix month p eriods endi ng July 31 , 1997 and  1996 prim arily
       relate s  to   a  one-t ime  char ge  recorded  at   July  31,   1996  of
       approximately  $200,000  to  reflect  management's  estimate  of  reduced
       computer equipment residual values on older  or obsolete equipment.  This
       decrease is  partially offset by  marginal increases in  operating salary
       expense  in the  current  period.   Selling,  general and  administrative
       expenses increased a nominal $26,871, or  4%, from $683,155 for the three
       months ended July  31, 1996 to $710,026  for the three months  ended July
       31, 1997.  For the six  month period, selling, general and administrative
       expenses increased $183,820, or 15%, from  $1,246,098 at July 31, 1996 to
       $1,429,918  at July  31, 1997.    The increase  in  selling, general  and
       administrative expenses is  primarily a result of increases  in Dimension
       advertising  and marketing  activities and  other miscellaneous  expenses
       associated with the Company's current business activities. 

            Amortization  of capitalized  software  increased $62,029,  or  76%,
       from $81,983  for the  quarter ended July  31, 1996  to $144,012  for the
       quarter ended  July 31, 1997.   The increase  in amortization  expense is
       primarily   due  to   the  recognition   of   approximately  $93,000   in
       amortization  expense  associated  with  capitalized  Dimension  software
       production  costs,   off-set  by   approximately  $31,000   in  decreased
       amortization expense  associated with fully amortized  software products.
        Software research and  development costs for the three  months decreased
       $11,569, or 12%,  from $100,532 at July 31,  1996 to $88,963 at  July 31,
       1997.  For the six month  period, software research and development costs
       decreased $12,660, or 7%,  from $188,532 at July 31, 1996  to $175,872 at
       July 31, 1997.

            Interest  income increased  $19,244, or  48%, from  $40,107 for  the
       three months ended  July 31, 1996 to  $59,351  for   the  three   months 
       ended  July   31,  1997.     Interest  income  for   the  quarter   ended
       July 31, 1996 was comprised of $64,255  in interest income and $24,148 in
       interest expense.    Interest income for the quarter ended  July 31, 1997
       is  comprised  of $65,337  in  interest  income and  $5,986  in  interest
       expense.

            The Company  reported a net loss  of $127,841 for the  quarter ended
       July 31, 1997  versus a net loss of  $276,368 for the quarter  ended July
       31, 1996.  For the six  month period, the Company reported a  net loss of
       $319,408 at  July 31,  1997 versus  a net loss  of $275,202  at July  31,
       1996.    Although  the  Company  experienced  an  increase  in  operating
       revenues for the three  and six month periods ending July  31, 1997, this
       increase was more  than offset by increased expenses associated  with the
       Company's Dimension sales and marketing efforts.

       Recent Accounting Pronouncements

            In  February  1997, Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards
       No. 1 28, _Earnings per Share_ (FAS 128) was  issued.  FAS 128 specifies
       the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings 
       per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or poten-
       tial common stock.  FAS 128 simplifies the standards  for computing EPS 
       previously found  in Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No. 15,
       _Earnings per Share_ (APB  15) and  makes  them  comparable  to   intern-
       ational  EPS standards.  It replaces  the  presentation of primary EPS  
       with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of 
       basic and dilutive EPS on the face of the statement of operations for all
       entities with  complex capital structures  and requires  a reconciliation
       of the  numerator and  denominator of  the basic EPS  computation to  the
       numerator and  denominator of the dilutive  EPS computation.  FAS  128 is
       effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after

       <PAGE>

       December 15, 1997, including interim periods;  earlier application is not
       permitted.   FAS 128 requires  restatement of  all prior-period  EPS data
       presented.    The  Company  plans to  adopt  FAS  128  in  its  financial
       statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 1998.

       Fluctuations in Interim Period Operating Results

            Management believes that, historically, interim  results and period-
       to-period  comparisons have  been  neither  predictable nor  an  accurate
       measure  of the  annual performance  of  the Company.    The Company  has
       experienced  and  expects  to  continue  to  experience  period-to-period
       fluctuations  in  systems  sales,  revenues  and   net  income.    Recent
       operating  revenues  of the  Company  have  primarily been  derived  from
       services and  support revenues.   Fluctuations  in system sales  revenues
       have  historically  resulted  from the  revenues  of  the  Company  being
       generated  principally  by the  sale  of  a small  number  of  relatively
       expensive systems,  as well as the  policy of the Company  of recognizing
       revenue upon  delivery of the  hardware, delivery  and acceptance  of the
       software,  the equipment  availability  of  hardware from  the  Company's
       hardware supplier, and the desire of  the customer to accelerate or delay
       the  date of  delivery.   These  factors tend  to  distort the  operating
       results of an  interim period.  Additionally, sales have  not occurred or
       been recognized evenly throughout the fiscal  year or any interim period,
       thus  making meaningful  interim  period  comparisons difficult.    These
       fluctuations may also  have a significant impact on profitability  in any
       interim period  as a result of  the relatively fixed nature  of operating
       costs and selling, general and administrative expenses.

       Liquidity and Capital Resources

            The  Company's financial  position remains  strong  with cash,  cash
       equivalents and short-term  investments of $4.4 million, or 47%  of total
       assets at  July 31,  1997, compared  to $5.5  million, or  51%, of  total
       assets   at  July  31,   1996.      Net  ca sh  provided   by  operat ing
       activi ties de creased  63%,  or $4 27,954,  from  $676,417  at July  31,
       1996 to $248,463 at July  31, 1997.  Although the Company  experienced an
       11% increase  in operating revenues between  the July 31, 1996  six month
       period  and the  July 31,  1997 six  month period,  the  gross margin  on
       operating revenues dropped from  84% for the six month period  ended July
       31, 1996  to 75%  for the six  month period  ended July  31, 1997.   This
       fluctuation was  primarily a  result of  increased costs associated  with
       reduced volume  discounts from the  Company's supplier  of hardware.   In
       addition,  increased  costs  associated  with  the   Company's  Dimension
       product marketing  efforts further  contributed to  the decrease in  cash
       provided  by operating  activities.   Liquidity  was further  reduced  by
       capital expenditures of $205,653 and by  capitalized software development
       expenditures of $400,000.   The sale of $607,772 in  available investment
       funds was made to  satisfy short-term working capital needs.   Cash flows
       from financing  activities for  both periods  consisted of cash  receipts
       obtained  from employee  common stock  purchases  and cash  disbursements
       made on  the Company's mortgage  note payable.   The Company  anticipates
       significant expenditures  to continue  for the  remainder of fiscal  year
       1998 in  the areas of  development, sales, marketing  and support of  its
       Dimension software products.
