                  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Stockholders
CMS Automation, Inc.
Richmond, Virginia:


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CMS Automation, Inc. as
of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  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 audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  These 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 that our audit provides 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 CMS Automation, Inc. as of
December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 Notes to Financial Statements


(1)  Accounting policies:

     The accounting and reporting policies of CMS Automation, Inc., conform to
     generally accepted accounting principles.  The following describe the more
     significant of those policies:

          (a)  Organization:

               The Company was incorporated in January, 1990, for the primary
          purpose of sales and service of computer hardware, software and
          networking.  The Company has locations in the Eastern part of the
          United States.

     (b)  Inventories:

               Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost
          being determined by the average cost method.

     (c)  Fixed assets:

               Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the
          use of accelerated and straight-line methods and is based on the
          estimated useful life of the asset.

     (d)  Other assets:

               Software and organization costs are being amortized over periods
          of thirty-six to sixty months.  Franchise fees are being amortized
          over 10 years.

     (e)  Unearned revenues:

               Unearned revenues result from customer contract prepayments.
          This results in a large amount of revenue being received prior to its
          realization.  These unearned revenues are shown as current liabilities
          on the balance sheet and are amortized monthly over the terms of the
          contracts.

(1)  Accounting policies, continued:

          (f)  Credit risk:

               Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
          concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and
          receivables.

               The Company maintains its cash balances in several financial
          institutions.  The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit
          Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 in each institution.  The Company
          has funds in excess of $100,000 in a financial institution.

               Receivables consist principally of trade accounts receivable
          resulting from sales to customers primarily in the Eastern part of the
          United States.  Credit is extended to customers after an evaluation
          for credit worthiness.

     (g)  Estimates:

               The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
          generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
          estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
          and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
          the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
          revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results
          could differ from those estimates.

(2)  Loans to Officers:

     Loans to officers are unsecured advances to the officers of the
     Corporation.  No interest is currently being charged on these advances.

     in the methods of accounting for bad debts, inventory, and litigation

     method is used for financial purposes.  Inventory for income tax purposes
     includes Section 263A costs which are not included for financial statement
     purposes.  For financial statement purposes litigation settlements are
     expensed as incurred, while for tax purposes they are deductible when paid.

     Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
     assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the
     tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during
     the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
