Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations 

                            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

   Revenues increased 3% from $23,865,000 in fiscal 1994 to $24,559,000 in 
fiscal 1995 and decreased 9% from $24,559,000 in fiscal 1995 to $22,414,000 
in fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1995 systems revenues increased 5% from fiscal 
1994, due primarily to the increased volume from the Contex Prepress Systems 
European and Pacific Rim/Asia markets. In fiscal 1996 systems revenues 
decreased 17% from fiscal 1995 due primarily to reduced sales of Contex 
Prepress Systems in domestic markets. Service revenues decreased 1% from 
fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995. This decrease was primarily due to reduced 
publishing maintenance from the Company's domestic markets. In fiscal 1996 
service revenues increased 6%. This increase was primarily due to increased 
international maintenance, training and integration service revenues in both 
the Contex and Publishing business groups. Customer concerns over the 
Company's financial condition have also had a negative impact on revenues. 

   Gross margins decreased from 50% of revenues in fiscal 1994 to 49% of 
revenues in fiscal 1995 and decreased further to 45% of revenues in fiscal 
1996. Systems margins decreased from 63% of revenues in fiscal 1994 to 58% of 
revenues in fiscal 1995 and decreased further to 55% of revenues in fiscal 
1995. The decrease in fiscal 1995 was the result of higher amortization of 
capitalized software development costs. The decrease in fiscal 1996 was the 
result of a combination of decreased operational efficiencies resulting from 
the need for senior management to focus on the restructuring effort and a 
higher content of hardware sales in the European markets for the Contex 
division. Service margins increased from 29% of revenues in fiscal 1994 to 
33% of revenues in fiscal 1995 and decreased to 32% of revenues in fiscal 
1996. The increase in service margins in fiscal 1995 was due to careful 
control of expenses. The decrease in service margins in fiscal 1996 was the 
result of a higher proportion of third party training and consulting 
expenses. 

   Research and development expenses, including capitalized software 
development costs, were $4,586,000, $4,410,000 and $4,512,000 for fiscal 
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. These amounts represented 19%, 18%, and 
20% of revenues, respectively. Capitalized software costs were $1,389,000, 
$1,413,000 and $1,087,000 in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The 
decrease in research and development expenditures from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 
1995 was primarily due to the completion of major projects and cost control 
efforts. The increase in research and development expenditures from fiscal 
1995 to fiscal 1996 was mainly the result of increased headcount and its 
associated costs. Research and development costs, excluding capitalized 
software development costs, were 13%, 12% and 15% of revenues during fiscal 
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. 

   Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased from $8,618,000 
(or 36% of revenues) in fiscal 1994 to $8,208,000 (or 33% of revenues) in 
fiscal 1995. Fiscal 1996 expenses increased to $11,152,000 (or 50% of 
revenues). The decrease from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995 was primarily a 
result of the Company's continuing cost awareness and containment efforts. 
During fiscal 1996 significant increases occurred in payroll, travel and 
trade show expenses, primarily in Europe, reflecting the Company's strategy 
to grow its international markets. The increase in fiscal 1996 expenses also 
reflects increases to the Company's bad debts allowances, primarily for the 
Contex business group. 

   During fiscal 1996, the Company incurred restructuring charges of 
$500,000. Included in the charge were approximately $385,000 of severance and 
employee benefits for the December 1995 workforce reduction, a $70,000 
write-off of equipment associated with the staff reduction and a write-down 
of $45,000 for capital assets not expected to contribute to future 
operations. 

   Interest income was $3,000, $9,000 and $7,000 in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 
1996, respectively. The low amount of interest income in each of the fiscal 
years was due to the Company's low level of cash available for investing. 
Interest expense from third parties was $256,000, $284,000 and $424,000 in 
fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Interest expense from third parties 
includes the interest obligation on the Debentures and the quarterly interest 
payments on the 4% Promissory Notes. The increases in the interest expense 
were primarily due to the impact of the program to exchange 15% Promissory 
Notes for equity securities and 4% Promissory Notes (also, please see Note 9 
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Interest expense related 
to the Company's credit line with a shareholder was $317,000, $244,000 and 
$384,000 in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. 
    

   During fiscal 1994, the Company entered into exchange transactions with 
investors holding a total of $1,425,000 principal amount of Debentures. As a 
result of these transactions, the Company realized an extraordinary gain of 

                                2           
<PAGE>
$780,000, or $.10 per share. These Debentureholders exchanged their 
Debentures for (i) an unsecured, unsubordinated promissory note of the 
Company, in a principal amount equal to 30% of the principal amount of the 
Debentures delivered for exchange, which bears interest (payable at maturity) 
at 15% per year (compounded annually and matures 30 months from issuance, and 
(ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of the Company per $1,000,000 principal 
amount of Debentures exchanged. 

   
   During fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company entered into agreements to 
restructure an additional $30,000 and $25,000, respectively, of Debentures on 
substantially the same terms as those described above. The Company did not 
recognize an extraordinary gain on these transactions. As a result of the 15% 
Promissory Note exchange program described in Note 9 to the consolidated 
financial statements, the Company declared dividends of $35,000 and $86,000 
during fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996, respectively, on the Series B Preferred 
Stock. 
    

   Net income allocable to common stockholders was $301,000 and $286,000 for 
fiscal 1994 and 1995, respectively. The Company recorded a net loss allocable 
to common stockholders of $5,793,000 for fiscal 1996. 

   The Company believes inflation has not had a material effect on its 
results of operations to date. 

   
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

   At March 31, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $332,000, 
which is an increase of $158,000 from the previous fiscal year end. 
Approximately $981,000 of cash was used by operations and approximately 
$1,368,000 of cash was used in investing activities in fiscal 1996. The 
Company plans to continue its aggressive efforts of managing working capital. 

   In fiscal 1996 the Company invested $1,368,000 in capital assets, 
including $1,087,000 of capitalized software costs, reflecting the Company's 
continuing commitment to its product development programs. The Company 
anticipates it will continue to invest in capital assets as required to 
support its product development efforts and general business needs in future 
periods. 

   At March 31, 1996, the Company had a $4,000,000 line of credit with Tudor 
Trust, a shareholder in the Company. The line, which is payable on demand, is 
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and has been used 
for working capital and general business purposes. Interest on the line of 
credit is payable monthly. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on 
December 31, 1997. On March 31, 1996, $3,400,000 was outstanding under this 
credit line. 

   Late in fiscal 1996, management of the Company concluded that, due 
principally to the significant losses from operations in the third and fourth 
quarters of fiscal 1996 (which amounted to approximately $1.8 million and 
$2.5 million, respectively), the Company's $4,000,000 credit line would be 
insufficient to finance the Company's cash needs during the first quarter of 
fiscal 1997. Accordingly, after investigating a number of alternative sources 
of financing, the Company entered into an amendment to its line of credit 
agreement with Tudor Trust, effective as of May 31, 1996, pursuant to which 
(a) Tudor Trust agreed to (i) increase the maximum loan amount to $5,000,000, 
(ii) reduce the interest rate on the line of credit from 10% to 8% per annum, 
(iii) eliminate any borrowing covenants or conditions that would prevent the 
Company from accessing the full $5,000,000 of available credit, and (iv) 
eliminate the requirement for the issuance of additional warrants to Tudor 
Trust under the line of credit (which were issuable on a quarterly basis), 
and (b) in consideration therefor, the Company issued to Tudor Trust warrants 
for 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of 
$.10 per share (representing the fair market value of the common stock of the 
Company as of the date of warrant issuance). In connection with this line of 
credit amendment, Tudor Trust exercised warrants for the purchase of 
2,092,500 shares of common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase 
price of $200,000. 

   At the beginning of fiscal 1992, the Company had outstanding $22,410,000 
of Debentures. This was a significant amount of debt for the Company and 
represented an annual cash interest payment obligation of $1,344,600. During 
fiscal 1992, the Company began a program to restructure its financial 
position, specifically, these Debentures. 

   Since March 10, 1992, the Company has consummated restructuring 
transactions with the holders of a total of $18,790,000 principal amount of 
Debentures. Substantially all of these transactions involved the exchange of 
outstanding Debentures for (i) an unsecured, unsubordinated promissory note 
of Xyvision in a principal amount equal to 30% of the principal amount of the 
Debentures delivered for exchange, bearing interest (payable at a 
    

                                3           
<PAGE>
   
maturity) at 15% per year (compounded annually) and maturing 30 months from 
issuance and (ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of Xyvision per $1,000,000 
principal amount of Debentures. As of June 28, 1996, a total of $3,620,000 
principal amount of Debentures remained outstanding. Of such Debentures, the 
Company has identified the holders of $2,260,000 principal amount, leaving 
$1,360,000 principal amount of Debentures unidentified. 

   During the course of its attempts to restructure the Debentures and 
negotiate transactions with Debentureholders, the Company did not make the 
interest payment due on the Debentures on May 5 of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, or 
1996. Under the terms of the Indenture covering the Debentures, the Trustee 
or the holders of not less than 25% of the then outstanding principal amount 
of Debentures have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the remaining 
Debentures. To date (June 28, 1996), such acceleration has neither occurred 
nor been threatened. 

   The Company continues to negotiate in good faith with as many of the 
remaining Debentureholders as possible. However, despite the progress that 
has been made, the Company can still give no assurance about the outcome of 
the Debenture restructuring efforts and does not expect the matter to be 
resolved in the near future. If the Company is unable to enter into 
restructuring transactions with the remaining Debentureholders, and such 
Debentureholders seek to pursue legal remedies against the Company, the 
Company may have to seek protection under applicable laws, including the 
Bankruptcy Code, while it develops, analyzes and completes alternative 
restructuring strategies. 

   In addition, as of June 28, 1996, the Company had issued promissory notes 
in an aggregate principal amount of $5,742,000 in connection with the 
Debenture exchange transactions described above, the interest on which 
accrues at a rate of 15% per year and is $2,346,000 payable at maturity. Such 
15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4,542,000 were to 
mature on September 30, 1994, and the remainder of these 15% Promissory Notes 
were to mature at various dates between September 30, 1994 and February 28, 
1997. In order to relieve itself of the payment obligations on the Promissory 
Notes, in fiscal 1995 the Company began a program to restructure the 
Promissory Notes. To date, the Company has closed exchange transactions with 
15% Promissory Note holders of an aggregate principal amount of $5,634,000 
and accrued interest of $2,320,000 in which, in exchange for the delivery of 
a 15% Promissory Note (including all rights to receive any interest accrued 
thereon) for cancellation, the Company issued (i) a new Promissory Note that 
matures 30 months from the date of issuance and bears interest at 4% per 
annum, (ii) one share of common stock for each $10.00 of principal amount of 
15% Promissory Note delivered and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred Stock 
for each $10.00 of interest due on the 15% Promissory Note delivered. The 
Series B Preferred Stock accrues a cumulative dividend in the amount of $.40 
per share per annum, whether or not declared and has a liquidation reference 
of $12.50 per share, plus any dividends declared or accrued but unpaid. Each 
share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common 
stock, subject to adjustment for certain events as defined in the Series B 
Preferred Stock Agreement. Additionally, holders of outstanding shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to voting rights equivalent to the 
rights attributable to the whole shares of common stock into which the Series 
B Preferred are convertible. The exchange transactions were completed 
assuming a fair value of $10 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. At March 
31, 1996, 15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of $239,000 
and accrued interest of $101,000 were overdue. As of June 28, 1996, 15% 
Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of $60,000 and accrued 
interest of $26,000 were overdue. The Company may seek to restructure the 
remaining 15% Promissory Notes. 

   Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners, both of whom are significant 
stockholders of the Company and own a significant portion of the outstanding 
Debentures and/or 4% Promissory Notes, have presented to the Company the 
following proposal relating to the exchange of Debentures and 4% Promissory 
Notes for common stock of the Company: they, along with certain other holders 
of the Debentures, would exchange their Debentures for such number of shares 
of common stock of the Company as is equal to the sum of the principal amount 
of the Debentures exchanged plus the accrued interest thereon, divided by 
$3.33; and they, along with certain other holders of the 4% Promissory Notes, 
would exchange their 4% Promissory Notes for such number of shares of common 
stock of the Company as is equal to the principal amount of the 4% Promissory 
Notes exchanged divided by $2.00 (any accrued but unpaid interest would be 
paid in cash at the time of such exchange). The consummation of the exchange 
transaction for the Debentures would be contingent upon the participation in 
such exchange by the holders of at least 50% of the principal amount of the 
outstanding Debentures; and the consummation of the exchange transaction for 
the 4% Promissory Notes would be contingent upon the participation in such 
exchange by the holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the 
outstanding 4% Promissory Notes. Together, Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners 
currently own approximately 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding 
Debentures and 

                                4           
    
<PAGE>
   
46% of the principal amount of the outstanding 4% Promissory Notes. The Board 
of Directors of the Company has voted to accept the terms of the exchange 
proposal made by Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners and to proceed with such 
exchange transactions, assuming the requisite number of holders of the 
Debentures and 4% Promissory Notes agree to the terms of such exchanges. 
While the Company believes that such exchange transactions would be very 
beneficial to the Company and its stockholders and would significantly 
improve the Company's balance sheet and liquidity position, there can be no 
assurance that such exchange transactions will be consummated. 

   The Company anticipates that its cash requirements for the first part of 
fiscal 1997 will be satisfied from its present cash balances, cash flow from 
existing operations, and its credit line, assuming the continued forbearance 
by the Debentureholders. Despite the progress made during the past fiscal 
year, the Company can give no assurance on the outcome of its debt 
restructuring efforts. The above uncertainties raise substantial doubt about 
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial 
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery and 
classifications of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications 
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to 
continue as a going concern. 

   The Company's long term liquidity needs cannot reasonably be determined at 
this time principally because these needs are dependent, in a large part, 
upon the outcome of the Company's attempt to convert into equity its 
outstanding Debentures and 4% Promissory Notes and the ability of the Company 
to obtain financing to repay or otherwise restructure the remaining 
outstanding 15% Promissory Notes. While the Company remains confident about 
its future, it can give no assurance regarding the ultimate success of its 
strategy.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS 

                  TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS 
                              OF XYVISION, INC.: 

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xyvision, 
Inc. as of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements 
of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of 
the three years in the period ended March 31, 1996. These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to report 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 that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our report. 

   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the 
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a loss 
from operations in fiscal 1996 and has a working capital deficit and a 
stockholders' deficit at March 31, 1996 and 1995. On May 5, 1996, 1995, 1994, 
1993, and 1992, the Company elected not to make the interest payment that was 
due on its 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Under the terms of the 
Indenture covering the debentures, the Trustee or the holders of not less 
than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures have the right 
to accelerate the maturity date of the remaining debentures. As of June 28, 
1996, no such acceleration had occurred. The Company's attainment of 
profitable operations and sufficient additional financing, as well as the 
continued forbearance of its Debentureholders, cannot be determined at this 
time. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability 
to continue as a going concern. Management's actions in regard to these 
matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any 
adjustments relating to the recovery and classifications of recorded asset 
amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be 
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

   Because of the significance of the uncertainties referred to in the 
preceding paragraph, we are unable to express, and we do not express, an 
opinion on the consolidated financial statements referred to above.

                  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

   Nature of Business: Xyvision, Inc. (the "Company"), which operates in a 
single industry segment, designs and markets software for publishing, 
document management, color design, and prepress applications. 

   BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of Xyvision, Inc. and all its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All 
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 

   CASH: Cash consists of bank deposits. 

   INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined under 
the first-in, first-out method, or market. 

   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major 
renewals and improvements are capitalized while repair and maintenance 
charges are expensed when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are 
computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, except 
for leasehold improvements that are amortized over the lesser of the term of 
the lease or the estimated useful life of the related asset. When assets are 
sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed 
from the accounts. Any gain or loss is included in income. 
The following lives are used to provide for depreciation and amortization:

   REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues from equipment, software, and supplies are 
recognized upon shipment. Maintenance revenues are recognized over the 
contractual periods and noncontractual maintenance services are recognized as 
the services are provided. Revenues on major systems integration contracts 
are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Losses, if any, on 
such contracts are provided for at the time they become apparent. 

   SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Costs for research, design, and development of 
software for sale to others incurred prior to the achievement of 
"technological feasibility" are charged to expense. The Company capitalizes 
certain software costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting 
No. 86, "Accounting for costs of computer software to be sold, leased or 
otherwise marketed." The Company's policy is to amortize capitalized software 
costs by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a 
product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues 
for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated 
life of the product including the period being reported on. It is reasonably 
possible that those estimates of anticipate future gross revenues, the 
remaining estimated economic life of the product, or both will be reduced 
significantly in the near term. As a result, the carrying amount of the 
capitalized software costs may be reduced materially in the near term. 

   INCOME TAXES: The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting 
Standards Board Statement ("FAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." 
Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. 
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the 
amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial statement purposes 
and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred taxes are 
measured by applying currently enacted tax rates. Applicable tax credits are 
recognized as a reduction in the provision for income taxes in the year in 
which they are available.

   WARRANTY COSTS: The Company warrants the majority of its products for 90 
days from the date of customer acceptance. Estimated warranty costs are 
provided at the time of sale. Warranty costs incurred by the Company have not 
been significant. 

   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE: Earnings (loss) per share is computed based on 
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include 
the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants. 

   
   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments that potentially 
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of 
trade receivables. 
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are due to 
the number of customers operating primarily in the electronic publishing 
industry, which includes commercial publishers, printers, and trade shops. 

   USE OF 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. The most significant estimates included in the 
financial statements are accounts receivable and sales allowances, as well as 
the amount of capitalized software costs. Actual results could differ from 
those estimates. 

                              FUTURE OPERATIONS 

   In fiscal 1992, the Company reduced its workforce and made other cost 
reductions to meet the realities of: (i) becoming a software and services 
oriented business and (ii) weak worldwide demand in its markets. In fiscal 
1993, the Company continued to adjust expenses due to these same factors. 

   At the beginning of fiscal 1992, the Company had outstanding $22,410,000 
of Debentures. This was a significant amount of debt for the Company and 
represented an annual cash interest payment obligation of $1,344,600. During 
fiscal 1992, the Company began a program to restructure its financial 
position, specifically, these Debentures. 

   Since March 10, 1992, the Company has consummated restructuring 
transactions with the holders of a total of $18,790,000 principal amount of 
Debentures. Substantially all of these transactions involved the exchange of 
outstanding Debentures for (i) an unsecured, unsubordinated promissory note 
of Xyvision in a principal amount equal to 30% of the principal amount of the 
Debentures delivered for exchange, bearing interest (payable at a maturity) 
at 15% per year (compounded annually) and maturing 30 months from issuance 
and (ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of Xyvision per $1,000,000 principal 
amount of Debentures. As of June 28, 1996, a total of $3,620,000 principal 
amount of Debentures remained outstanding. Of such Debentures, the Company 
has identified the holders of $2,260,000 principal amount, leaving $1,360,000 
principal amount of Debentures unidentified. 

   During the course of its attempts to restructure the Debentures and 
negotiate transactions with Debentureholders, the Company did not make the 
interest payment due on the Debentures on May 5 of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, or 
1996. Under the terms of the Indenture covering the Debentures, the Trustee 
or the holders of not less than 25% of the then outstanding principal amount 
of Debentures have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the remaining 
Debentures. To date (June 28, 1996), such acceleration has neither occurred 
nor been threatened. 

   As described before, the Company continues to negotiate in good faith with 
as many of the remaining Debentureholders as possible. However, despite the 
progress that has been made, the Company can still give no assurance about 
the outcome of the Debenture restructuring efforts and does not expect the 
matter to be resolved in the near future. If the Company is unable to enter 
into restructuring transactions with the remaining Debentureholders, and such 
Debentureholders seek to pursue legal remedies against the Company, the 
Company may have to seek protection under applicable laws, including the 
Bankruptcy Code, while it develops, analyzes and completes alternative 
restructuring strategies. 

   In addition, as of June 28, 1996, the Company had issued promissory notes 
in an aggregate principal amount of $5,742,000 in connection with the 
Debenture exchange transactions described above, the interest on which 
    

                               12           
<PAGE>
   
accrues at a rate of 15% per year and is $2,346,000 payable at maturity. Such 
15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4,542,000 were to 
mature on September 30, 1994, and the remainder of these 15% Promissory Notes 
were to mature at various dates between September 30, 1994 and February 28, 
1997. In order to relieve itself of the payment obligations on the Promissory 
Notes, in fiscal 1995 the Company began a program to restructure the 
Promissory Notes. To date, the Company has closed exchange transactions with 
15% Promissory Note holders of an aggregate principal amount of $5,634,000 
and accrued interest of $2,320,000 in which, in exchange for the delivery of 
a 15% Promissory Note (including all rights to receive any interest accrued 
thereon) for cancellation, the Company issued (i) a new Promissory Note that 
matures 30 months from the date of issuance and bears interest at 4% per 
annum, (ii) one share of common stock for each $10.00 of principal amount of 
15% Promissory Note delivered and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred Stock 
for each $10.00 of interest due on the 15% Promissory Note delivered. The 
Series B Preferred Stock accrues a cumulative dividend in the amount of $.40 
per share per annum, whether or not declared and has a liquidation reference 
of $12.50 per share, plus any dividends declared or accrued but unpaid. Each 
share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common 
stock, subject to adjustment for certain events as defined in the Series B 
Preferred Stock Agreement. Additionally, holders of outstanding shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to voting rights equivalent to the 
rights attributable to the whole shares of common stock into which the Series 
B Preferred are convertible. The exchange transactions were completed 
assuming a fair value of $10 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. At March 
31, 1996, 15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of $239,000 
and accrued interest of $101,000 were overdue. As of June 28, 1996, 15% 
Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of $60,000 and accrued 
interest of $26,000 were overdue. The Company may seek to restructure the 
remaining 15% Promissory Notes. 

   Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners, both of whom are significant 
stockholders of the Company and own a significant portion of the outstanding 
Debentures and/or 4% Promissory Notes, have presented to the Company the 
following proposal relating to the exchange of Debentures and 4% Promissory 
Notes for common stock of the Company: they, along with certain other holders 
of the Debentures, would exchange their Debentures for such number of shares 
of common stock of the Company as is equal to the sum of the principal amount 
of the Debentures exchanged plus the accrued interest thereon, divided by 
$3.33; and they, along with certain other holders of the 4% Promissory Notes, 
would exchange their 4% Promissory Notes for such number of shares of common 
stock of the Company as is equal to the principal amount of the 4% Promissory 
Notes exchanged divided by $2.00 (any accrued but unpaid interest would be 
paid in cash at the time of such exchange). The consummation of the exchange 
transaction for the Debentures would be contingent upon the participation in 
such exchange by the holders of at least 50% of the principal amount of the 
outstanding Debentures; and the consummation of the exchange transaction for 
the 4% Promissory Notes would be contingent upon the participation in such 
exchange by the holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the 
outstanding 4% Promissory Notes. Together, Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners 
currently own approximately 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding 
Debentures and 46% of the principal amount of the outstanding 4% Promissory 
Notes. The Board of Directors of the Company has voted to accept the terms of 
the exchange proposal made by Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners and to 
proceed with such exchange transactions, assuming the requisite number of 
holders of the Debentures and 4% Promissory Notes agree to the terms of such 
exchanges. While the Company believes that such exchange transactions would 
be very beneficial to the Company and its stockholders and would 
significantly improve the Company's balance sheet and liquidity position, 
there can be no assurance that such exchange transactions will be 
consummated. 
    

   On June 30, 1992, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 line of credit with a 
current investor in the Company. The line, which is payable on demand, is 
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and has been used 
for working capital and general business purposes. Interest on the line of 
credit is payable monthly. The Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock 
and a common stock purchase warrant for 100,000 shares of common stock at an 
exercise price of $.50 per share to the investor for no additional 
consideration upon signing of the line of credit. In addition, as required by 
the line of credit, from September 30, 1992 through June 30, 1993, the 
Company granted the investor four additional common stock purchase warrants, 
each covering 100,000 shares of common stock. On September 28, 1993, the 
Company and the investor amended the line of credit. Under the terms of this 
amendment: (i) the amount available under the line of credit was increased 
from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000; (ii) the annual interest rate was reduced from 
13% to 10%; and (iii) the term of the line of credit was 

                               13           
<PAGE>
   
extended from June 30, 1994 to June 30, 1995. In consideration of such 
changes, the Company: (i) reduced the exercise price of 200,000 and 100,000 
common stock purchase warrants exercisable by the investor from $.50 and $.25 
per share, respectively, to $.09 per share (the fair market value of the 
common stock on September 28, 1993); (ii) issued 200,000 shares of common 
stock and a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise 
price of $.09 per share to the investor for no additional consideration; and 
(iii) agreed to grant the investor up to eight additional warrants, each 
covering 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price at the lesser of 
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of issue or $1.00 per 
share. 

   On December 3, 1993, the Company and the investor entered into an 
additional amendment to the line of credit. Under the terms of this 
amendment, the amount available under the line of credit was increased to 
$3,000,000. In consideration of this change, the Company: (i) issued 100,000 
shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common 
stock at fair market value of the common stock on December 3, 1993 and (ii) 
agreed to grant the investor up to seven additional common stock purchase 
warrants between December 31, 1993 and June 30, 1995, each covering 200,000 
shares of common stock at an exercise price at the lesser of the fair market 
value of the common stock on the date of grant or $1.00 per share (these 
warrants are in lieu of the last seven of the warrants referred to in clause 
(iii) of the preceding paragraph). 

   On February 29, 1996, the Company and the investor entered into an 
additional amendment to the line of credit. Under the terms on this 
amendment, the amount available under the line of credit was increased to 
$4,000,000 and the term of the line of credit was extended to December 31, 
1997. In consideration of these changes, the Company granted the investor a 
common stock purchase warrant for 200,000 shares of common stock at an 
exercise price of $.10 per share (the fair market value of the common stock 
on the date of issuance of such warrant) and agreed to continue to grant the 
investor, for each fiscal quarter for which amounts are outstanding under the 
credit line, a common stock purchase warrant for 200,000 shares of common 
stock provided that the number of shares subject to the warrant shall be 
325,000 (rather than 200,000 shares in the event that the maximum amount of 
outstanding credit line advances on one or more dates during the quarter 
ending on the issue date of such warrant exceeds $3,000,000). The exercise 
price of the first five warrants (beginning with the warrant for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1995) will be at the lesser of the fair market value of 
the common stock on the date of the grant or $1.00 per share while the 
exercise price of the final five warrants will be the fair market value of 
the common stock on the date of the grant. 

   Late in fiscal 1996, management of the Company concluded that, due 
principally to the significant losses from operations in the third and fourth 
quarters of fiscal 1996 (which amounted to approximately $1.8 million and 
$2.5 million, respectively), the Company's $4,000,000 credit line would be 
insufficient to finance the Company's cash needs during the first quarter of 
fiscal 1997. Accordingly, after investigating a number of alternative sources 
of financing, the Company entered into an amendment to its line of credit 
agreement with Tudor Trust, effective as of May 31, 1996, pursuant to which 
(a) Tudor Trust agreed to (i) increase the maximum loan amount to $5,000,000, 
(ii) reduce the interest rate on the line of credit from 10% to 8% per annum, 
(iii) eliminate any borrowing covenants or conditions that would prevent the 
Company from accessing the full $5,000,000 of available credit, and (iv) 
eliminate the requirement for the issuance of additional warrants to Tudor 
Trust under the line of credit (which were issuable on a quarterly basis), 
and (b) in consideration therefor, the Company issued to Tudor Trust warrants 
for 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of 
$.10 per share (representing the fair market value of the common stock of the 
Company as of the date of warrant issuance). In connection with this line of 
credit amendment, Tudor Trust exercised warrants for the purchase of 
2,092,500 shares of common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase 
price of $200,000. 

   As of March 31, 1996, the Company had $3,400,000 outstanding and $600,000 
available under the amended line of credit. As of June 28, 1996, the Company 
had $1,000,000 available under the amended line of credit. 

   The Company anticipates that its cash requirements for the first part of 
fiscal 1997 will be satisfied from its present cash balances, cash flow from 
existing operations, and its credit line, assuming the continued forbearance 
by the Debentureholders. Despite the progress made during the past fiscal 
year, the Company can give no assurance on the outcome of its debt 
restructuring efforts. The above uncertainties raise substantial doubt about 
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial 
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the 
    

                               14           
<PAGE>
   
recovery and classifications of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and 
classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be 
unable to continue as a going concern. 

   The Company's long term liquidity needs cannot reasonably be determined at 
this time principally because these needs are dependent, in a large part, 
upon the outcome of the Company's attempt to convert into equity its 
outstanding Debentures and 4% Promissory Notes and the ability of the Company 
to obtain financing to repay or otherwise restructure the remaining 
outstanding 15% Promissory Notes. While the Company remains confident about 
its future, it can give no assurance regarding the ultimate success of its 
strategy. 

                             ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE 

   Trade receivables do not contain any material amounts collectible over a 
period in excess of one year. Retainage consists of receivables billed under 
retainage provisions of contracts and collectibility is not expected to 
extend over a period of one year.

                         NOTE PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDER 

   On June 30, 1992, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 line of credit with a 
current investor in the Company. The line, which is payable on demand, is 
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and has been used 
for working capital and general business purposes. Interest on the line of 
credit is payable monthly. The Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock 
and a common stock purchase warrant for 100,000 shares of common stock at an 
exercise price of $.50 per share to the investor for no additional 
consideration upon signing of the line of credit. In addition, as required by 
the line of credit, from September 30, 1992 through June 30, 1993, the 
Company granted the investor four additional common stock purchase warrants, 
each covering 100,000 shares of common stock. On September 28, 1993, the 
Company and the investor amended the line of credit. Under the terms of this 
amendment: (i) the amount available under the line of credit was increased 
from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000; (ii) the annual interest rate was reduced from 
13% to 10%; and (iii) the term of the line of credit was extended from June 
30, 1994 to June 30, 1995. In consideration of such changes, the Company: (i) 
reduced the exercise price of 200,000 and 100,000 common stock purchase 
warrants exercisable by the investor from $.50 and $.25 per share, 
respectively, to $.09 per share (the fair market value of the common stock on 
September 28, 1993); (ii) issued 200,000 shares of common stock and a warrant 
to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.09 per 
share to the investor for no additional consideration; and (iii) agreed to 
grant the investor up to eight additional warrants, each covering 125,000 
shares of common stock at an exercise price at the lesser of the fair market 
value of the common stock on the date of issue or $1.00 per share. 

   On December 3, 1993, the Company and the investor entered into an 
additional amendment to the line of credit. Under the terms of this 
amendment, the amount available under the line of credit was increased to 
$3,000,000. In consideration of this change, the Company: (i) issued 100,000 
shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common 
stock at fair market value of the common stock on December 3, 1993 and (ii) 
agreed to grant the investor up to seven additional common stock purchase 
warrants between December 31, 1993 and June 30, 1995, each covering 200,000 
shares of common stock at an exercise price at the lesser of the fair market 
value of the common stock on the date of grant or $1.00 per share (these 
warrants are in lieu of the last seven of the warrants referred to in clause 
(iii) of the preceding paragraph). 

   On February 29, 1996, the Company and the investor entered into an 
additional amendment to the line of credit. Under the terms on this 
amendment, the amount available under the line of credit was increased to 
$4,000,000 and extending the term of the line of credit to December 31, 1997. 
In consideration of these changes, the Company granted the investor a common 
stock purchase warrant for 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise 
price of $.10 per share (the fair market value of the common stock on the 
date of issuance of such warrant) and agreed to continue to grant the 
investor, for each fiscal quarter for which amounts are outstanding under the 
credit line, a common stock purchase warrant for 200,000 shares of common 
stock provided that the number of shares subject to the warrant shall be 
325,000 (rather than 200,000 shares in the event that the maximum amount of 
outstanding credit line advances on one or more dates during the quarter 
ending on the issue date of such warrant exceeds $3,000,000). The exercise 
price of the first five warrants (beginning with the warrant for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1995) will be at the lesser of the fair market value of 
the common stock on the date of the grant or $1.00 per share while the 
exercise price of the final five warrants will be the fair market value of 
the common stock on the date of the grant.

   Late in fiscal 1996, management of the Company concluded that, due 
principally to the significant losses from operations in the third and fourth 
quarters of fiscal 1996 (which amounted to approximately $1.8 million and 
$2.5 million, respectively), the Company's $4,000,000 credit line would be 
insufficient to finance the Company's cash needs during the first quarter of 
fiscal 1997. Accordingly, after investigating a number of alternative sources 
of financing, the Company entered into an amendment to its line of credit 
agreement with Tudor Trust, effective as of May 31, 1996, pursuant to which 
(a) Tudor Trust agreed to (i) increase the maximum loan amount to $5,000,000, 
(ii) reduce the interest rate on the line of credit from 10% to 8% per annum, 
(iii) eliminate any borrowing covenants or conditions that would prevent the 
Company from accessing the full $5,000,000 of available credit, and (iv) 
eliminate the requirement for the issuance of additional warrants to Tudor 
Trust under the line of credit (which were issuable on a quarterly basis), 
and (b) in consideration therefor, the Company issued to Tudor Trust warrants

credit amendment, Tudor Trust exercised warrants for the purchase of 
2,092,500 shares of common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase 
price of $200,000.

available under the amended line of credit. As of June 28, 1996, the Company 
had $1,000,000 available under the amended line of credit.

   In May 1987, the Company issued $25,000,000 of 6% Convertible Subordinated 
Debentures (the "Debentures") convertible into common stock at a conversion 
price of $22.50 per share. Interest on the Debentures is payable annually (on 
May 5th) and the Debentures may be called by the Company under certain 
conditions. At the beginning of fiscal 1992, the Company had outstanding 
$22,410,000 of these Debentures. This was a significant amount of debt for 
the Company and represented an annual cash interest payment obligation of 
$1,344,600. During fiscal 1992, the Company began a program to restructure 
its financial position, specifically, these Debentures. 

   Since March 10, 1992, the Company has consummated restructuring 
transactions with the holders of a total of $18,790,000 principal amount of 
Debentures. Substantially all of these transactions involved the exchange of 
outstanding Debentures for (i) an unsecured, unsubordinated promissory note 
of Xyvision in a principal amount equal to 30% of the principal amount of the 
Debentures delivered for exchange, bearing interest (payable at a maturity) 
at 15% per year (compounded annually) and maturing 30 months from issuance 
and (ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of Xyvision per $1,000,000 principal 
amount of Debentures. As of June 28, 1996, a total of $3,620,000 principal 
amount of Debentures remained outstanding. Of such Debentures, the Company 
has identified the holders of $2,260,000 principal amount, leaving $1,360,000 
principal amount of Debentures unidentified. 

   During the course of its attempts to restructure the Debentures and 
negotiate transactions with Debentureholders, the Company did not make the 
interest payment due on the Debentures on May 5 of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, or 
1996. Under the terms of the Indenture covering the Debentures, the Trustee 
or the holders of not less than 25% of the then outstanding principal amount 
of Debentures have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the remaining 
Debentures. To date (June 28, 1996), such acceleration has neither occurred 
nor been threatened. 

                               19

   The Company continues to negotiate in good faith with as many of the 
remaining Debentureholders as possible. However, despite the progress that 
has been made, the Company can still give no assurance about the outcome of 
the Debenture restructuring efforts and does not expect the matter to be 
resolved in the near future. If the Company is unable to enter into 
restructuring transactions with the remaining Debentureholders, and such 
Debentureholders seek to pursue legal remedies against the Company, the 
Company may have to seek protection under applicable laws, including the 
Bankruptcy Code, while it develops, analyzes and completes alternative 
restructuring strategies. 

   In addition, as of June 28, 1996, the Company had issued promissory notes 
in an aggregate principal amount of $5,742,000 in connection with the 
Debenture exchange transactions described above, the interest on which 
accrues at a rate of 15% per year and is $2,346,000 payable at maturity. Such 
15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4,542,000 were to 
mature on September 30, 1994, and the remainder of these 15% Promissory Notes 
were to mature at various dates between September 30, 1994 and December 30, 
1998. In order to relieve itself of the payment obligations on the Promissory 
Notes, in fiscal 1995 the Company began a program to restructure the 
Promissory Notes. To date, the Company has closed exchange transactions with 
15% Promissory Note holders of an aggregate principal amount of $5,634,000 
and accrued interest of $2,320,000 in which, in exchange for the delivery of 
a 15% Promissory Note (including all rights to receive any interest accrued 
thereon) for cancellation, the Company issued (i) a new Promissory Note that 
matures 30 months from the date of issuance and bears interest at 4% per 
annum, (ii) one share of common stock for each $10.00 of principal amount of 
15% Promissory Note delivered and (iii) one share of Series B Preferred Stock 
for each $10.00 of interest due on the 15% Promissory Note delivered. The 
Series B Preferred Stock accrues a cumulative dividend in the amount of $.40 
per share per annum, whether or not declared and has a liquidation reference 
of $12.50 per share, plus any dividends declared or accrued but unpaid. Each 
share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common 
stock, subject to adjustment for certain events as defined in the Series B 
Preferred Stock Agreement. Additionally, holders of outstanding shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to voting rights equivalent to the 
rights attributable to the whole shares of common stock into which the Series 
B Preferred are convertible. The exchange transactions were completed 
assuming a fair value of $10 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. At March 
31, 1996, 15% Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of $239,000 
and accrued interest of $101,000 were overdue. As of June 28, 1996 15% 
Promissory Notes in an aggregate principle amount of $60,000 and accrued 
interest of $26,000 were overdue. The Company may seek to restructure the 
remaining 15% Promissory Notes. 

   Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners, both of whom are significant 
stockholders of the Company and own a significant portion of the outstanding 
Debentures and/or 4% Promissory Notes, have presented to the Company the 
following proposal relating to the exchange of Debentures and 4% Promissory 
Notes for common stock of the Company: they, along with certain other holders 
of the Debentures, would exchange their Debentures for such number of shares 
of common stock of the Company as is equal to the sum of the principal amount 
of the Debentures exchanged plus the accrued interest thereon, divided by 
$3.33; and they, along with certain other holders of the 4% Promissory Notes, 
would exchange their 4% Promissory Notes for such number of shares of common 
stock of the Company as is equal to the principal amount of the 4% Promissory 
Notes exchanged divided by $2.00 (any accrued but unpaid interest would be 
paid in cash at the time of such exchange). The consummation of the exchange 
transaction for the Debentures would be contingent upon the participation in 
such exchange by the holders of at least 50% of the principal amount of the 
outstanding Debentures; and the consummation of the exchange transaction for 
the 4% Promissory Notes would be contingent upon the participation in such 
exchange by the holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the 
outstanding 4% Promissory Notes. Together, Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners 
currently own approximately 40% of the principal amount of the outstanding 
Debentures and 46% of the principal amount of the outstanding 4% Promissory 
Notes. The Board of Directors of the Company has voted to accept the terms of 
the exchange proposal made by Tudor Trust and Saltzman Partners and to 
proceed with such exchange transactions, assuming the requisite number of 
holders of the Debentures and 4% Promissory Notes agree to the terms of such 
exchanges. While the Company believes that such exchange transactions would 
be very beneficial to the Company and its stockholders and would 
significantly improve the Company's balance sheet and liquidity position, 
there can be no assurance that such exchange transactions will be 
consummated. 

   The Company anticipates that its cash requirements for the first part of 
fiscal 1997 will be satisfied from its present cash balances, cash flow from 
existing operations, and its credit line, assuming the continued forbearance 
    

                               20           
<PAGE>
   
by the Debentureholders. Despite the progress made during the past fiscal 
year, the Company can give no assurance on the outcome of its debt 
restructuring efforts. The above uncertainties raise substantial doubt about 
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial 
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery and 
classifications of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications 
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to 
continue as a going concern. 

   The Company's long term liquidity needs cannot reasonably be determined at 
this time principally because these needs are dependent, in a large part, 
upon the outcome of the Company's attempt to convert into equity its 
outstanding Debentures and 4% Promissory Notes and the ability of the Company 
to obtain financing to repay or otherwise restructure the remaining 
outstanding 15% Promissory Notes. While the Company remains confident about 
its future, it can give no assurance regarding the ultimate success of its 
strategy. 

   Interest expense amounted to $807,000, $528,000, and $573,000, in fiscal 
1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. 

                                 INCOME TAXES 

   For fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994 the Company was not required to 
provide for income taxes and had no effective income tax rate due to the 
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company was not required 
to make an alternative minimum tax payment in fiscal 1996. Payments of 
alternative minimum taxes amounted to $14,000 and $46,000 in fiscal 1995 and 
1994, respectively. 

   As of March 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of 
$49,014,000 expiring at various dates through fiscal 2011, investment tax 
credits of $150,000 expiring at various dates through fiscal 2002, and 
research and development credits of $1,439,000 expiring at various dates 
through fiscal 2009. These items are available to reduce future income taxes 
payable. 

   Additionally, the Company has approximately $2,500,000 of net operating 
loss carryforwards for regular federal income tax and alternative minimum tax 
purposes from the acquisition of Contex Graphics Systems, Inc. These acquired 
net operating loss carryforwards, which expire in the year 2001, have 
limitations on their use pursuant to the United States Internal Revenue Code 
and are available only to offset income from that subsidiary. 

   As of March 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 the Company's deferred tax assets of 
approximately $20,214,000, $18,343,000 and $18,440,000, respectively, 
consisted primarily of its net operating loss carryforwards. Management has 
assigned a valuation allowance to fully offset the future tax benefits of 
these deferred tax assets. 

   Under Federal tax laws, certain changes in ownership of the Company, which 
may not be within the Company's control, may restrict future utilization of 
these carryforwards. 

                       STOCK OPTION AND PURCHASE PLANS 

   Stock Option Plans 

   Under the Company's 1982 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase 1,647,057 
shares of the Company's Common Stock may be granted to key employees, 
consultants, and non-employee directors. Incentive stock options are granted 
at a price equal to the fair market value per share on the date of the grant 
and non-qualified stock options may be granted at not less than 85% of the 
fair market value per share on the date of the grant. Options granted on or 
after January 1, 1987 generally become exercisable at a rate of 20% per year 
over a five-year period with any shares issued upon exercise not being 
subject to repurchase by the Company. The 1982 Stock Option Plan expired on 
May 5, 1992. No options were granted under the 1982 Stock Option Plan after 
March 31, 1992. 

   At the Company's June 23, 1992 Board of Directors' Meeting, the Board 
approved a 1992 Stock Option Plan and an increase in the authorized number of 
shares of the Company's Common Stock from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 shares. 
The terms of the 1992 Stock Option Plan are essentially the same as the 1982 
Stock Option Plan. At this time the maximum number of options that could be 
granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan was 1,000,000 shares. The 1992 Stock 
Option Plan and the increase in authorized shares were both approved by the 
Company's shareholders at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting of Stockholders 
held on October 21, 1992. 

                               21           
    
<PAGE>
   
   At the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on September 22, 1994, the 
stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's 1992 Stock 
Option Plan increasing the number of shares for which options may be granted 
from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000. 

   The following sets forth certain information relating to the 1982 Stock 
Option Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan for the years ended March 31,1994, 
1995, and 1996:

</TABLE>

   
  Options were exercisable for 729,095 and 683,308 shares of Common Stock at 
  March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. At March 31, 1995 and 1996, options 
      for the purchase of 1,074,594 and 979,906 shares of Common Stock, 
  respectively, were available for future grants under the 1992 Stock Option 
Plan. At March 31, 1996, there were 2,150,261 shares of Common Stock reserved 
                       for issuance under these Plans. 
   On October 21, 1992, the 1992 Director Stock Option Plan was approved by 
  stockholders of the Company. Under this Plan, options to purchase up to a 
 total of 150,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to outside directors 
   of the Company. On March 31, 1993, an option for 20,000 shares of Common 
 Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the fair market value of the 
  Common Stock on the date of grant) was granted to each of the four outside 
 directors of the Company. Each outside director who is initially elected to 
  the Board of Directors after March 31, 1993 will also be granted an option 
  for 20,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to the fair 
  market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Each option becomes 
exercisable in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant, 
 provided that all outstanding options will become exercisable in full in the 
 event of a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in the Plan) which 
  is not approved by the Board of Directors. In general, an optionholder may 
exercise his option, to the extent vested, only while he is a director of the 
    Company and for up to three months thereafter. In connection with the 
 adoption of the 1992 Director Stock Option Plan, the Company terminated the 
    1989 Director Stock Option Plan. In addition, each of the four outside 
 directors who received options under the 1992 Director Stock Option Plan on 
 March 31, 1993 surrendered for cancellation the option held by him under the 
1989 Director Stock Option Plan. 
On January 8, 1990, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase 42,500 
shares of the Company's Common Stock to former officers of the Company. These 
  non-qualified stock options were granted outside the Company's 1982 Stock 
   Option Plan at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and are immediately 
    exercisable. At March 31, 1996, there were 42,500 shares reserved for 
issuance for these options. 
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
                          Financial Accounting Stan- 
 dards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which is effective 
                          for fiscal year 1997. The 
  Company has determined that it will elect the disclosure-only alternative. 
                       The Company will be required to

   Stock Purchase Plan 

   In 1990, the Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved the 
Company's 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1990 Purchase Plan"). The 
1990 Purchase Plan covers an aggregate of up to 420,000 shares of Common 
Stock to be issued and sold to participating employees of the Company through 
a series of six overlapping one-year offerings, commencing six months apart, 
beginning August 1, 1990 and ending January 31, 1994. The 1990 Purchase Plan 
was administered by the Compensation Committee and was intended to qualify as 
an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the 
Internal Revenue Code. All employees who have been employed by the Company 
(or a qualifying subsidiary) for 30 days on the date an offering under the 
1990 Purchase Plan commences and who ordinarily work more than 20 hours per 
week and more than five months per year were eligible to participate in that 
offering. The price at which the shares were offered is 85% of the fair 
market value of the Common Stock on the date such offering commences or the 
date such offering terminates, which-ever is lower. Each employee could elect 
to have up to 10% of his base pay withheld and applied toward the purchase of 
shares in such offering. The 1990 Purchase Plan terminated January 31, 1994. 

                               RIGHTS AGREEMENT 

   In October 1988, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement and declared 
a dividend distribution of one Right for each share of the Common Stock of 
the Company outstanding on October 26, 1988. Each Right entitles the holder 
to purchase from the Company 1/100 of a share of $1.00 par value Series A 
Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $35.00 per 
Right, subject to adjustment. The Rights will not be exercisable or separable 
from the Common Stock until ten business days after a party acquires 
beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock or 
announces a tender offer for at least 30% of its Common Stock outstanding. 
Except for Saltzman Partners' and Tudor Trust's acquisition of 20% of the 
Company's Common Stock, which have been exempted by the Board of Directors 
from the Rights Agreement, the Company is not aware of the occurrence of any 
such events. The issuance of the Rights does not dilute ownership or affect 
reported earnings per share. 
    

PROFIT-SHARING AND SAVINGS PLANS 

   Employee Stock Ownership Plan 

   
   In fiscal 1990, the Company created the Xyvision, Inc. Employee Stock 
Ownership Plan and Trust (the "Trust") and entered into a Term Loan Agreement 
with the Trust whereby the Trust borrowed $1,800,000 from the Company and 
paid the proceeds to the Company to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's 
Common Stock at $4.50 per share. The loan, with an interest rate of prime 
plus one-half of one percent, is to be repaid over seven years in equal 
annual installments of approximately $257,000. The Company is required to 
make equal annual contributions to the Trust in the amounts of the Trust's 
annual principal installments. The Company also makes monthly contributions 
to the Trust which uses such funds to pay monthly interest installments to 
the Company. The Plan covers substantially all employees and, as principal 
payments are made on the term loan, shares held by the Trust are allocated to 
eligible employees. Payments of approximately $257,000 were made to the Trust 
in each of the fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, which the 
Trust applied against its loan to the Company. These payments caused an 
allocation to the eligible employees of 57,143 shares of the Company's Common 
Stock in each of fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994. 

   The Company charged $257,000 per year to operations for contributions to 
this Trust in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994. 

   Savings Plan 

   The Company has a 401(k) Savings Plan under which employees may 
voluntarily defer a portion of their compensation and the Company matches a 
portion of the employee deferral. All employees employed within the United 
States with at least one year of continuous service are eligible for the 
Plan. Company contributions vest 100% immediately. The Company's 
contributions to this Plan and charges to expense amounted to $65,000, 
$58,000, and $56,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

   Leases 

   At March 31, 1996, the Company was committed under operating leases, 
principally for building and office space. Certain leases require the payment 
of expenses under escalation clauses. The major facilities lease is for a two 
year term. 
    

   Future minimum lease payments under all noncancelable leases as of March 
31, 1996 are as follows: 

<TABLE>

2001              95,000 
Thereafter       323,000 
  Total       $2,703,000 
</TABLE>

   
   Rental expense under all operating leases was approximately $1,200,000, 
$1,185,000, and $1,221,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. 

   Employment Agreements 
    

   The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its 
executive officers which provide for the payment to these executives of up to 
twelve months of compensation and the continuation of certain benefits if 
there is a change in control of the Company (as defined) or if employment is 
terminated without cause. The maximum contingent liability, at March 31, 
1996, under these agreements was approximately $300,000. 

   
   The Company has also instituted a severance benefit plan which covers 
substantially all employees. The agreement stipulates, in general, that in 
the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined), any employee 
terminated within twelve months of such event, without cause, would be 
entitled to receive a cash payment equal to his annual base compensation. The 
Board of Directors may declare by resolution that an event otherwise 
constituting a change in control per this agreement will not be considered a 
change in control. Therefore, it can not be reasonably estimated what the 
potential liability to the Company would be under this agreement. 
    

   Contingencies 

   
   The Company is party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. 
Although the outcome of such proceedings and claims cannot be determined with 
certainty, the Company's counsel and management are of the opinion that the 
final outcome should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
operations or financial position. 

                       MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND EXPORT SALES 

   No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues in fiscal 1996, 
1995, or 1994. 

   Export sales to unrelated customers outside of the United States for 
fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994 were as follows:

Exhibit B 

              Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock 
                                      of 
                                Xyvision, Inc. 
                               To be Designated 
                           Series B Preferred Stock 

   Xyvision, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), pursuant to 
authority conferred on the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the 
Certificate of Incorporation and in accordance with the provisions of Section 
151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, certifies that 
the Board of Directors of the Corporation, at a meeting duly called and held, 
at which a quorum was present and acting throughout, duly adopted the 
following resolution: 

   RESOLVED: That, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested 
in the Board of Directors of the Corporation in accordance with the 
provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock 
of the Corporation be and hereby is established, consisting of 300,000 
shares, to be designated "Series B Preferred Stock" (hereinafter "Series B 
Preferred Stock"); that the Board of Directors be and hereby is authorized to 
issue such shares of Series B Preferred Stock from time to time and for such 
consideration and on such terms as the Board of Directors shall determine; 
and that, subject to the limitations provided by law and by the Certificate 
of Incorporation, the powers, designations, preferences and relative, 
participating, optional or other special rights of, and the qualifications, 
limitations or restrictions upon, the Series B Preferred Stock shall be as 
follows: 

   SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK. 

   A total of 300,000 shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock 
of the Corporation is hereby designated "Series B Preferred Stock" (the 
"Series B Preferred Stock") with the following rights, preferences, powers, 
privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations. 

   1. Dividends. 
(a) The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 
receive, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends of $.40 per share 
per annum (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock 
dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization 
affecting such shares), payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar 
quarter. Such dividends shall accrue and shall be cumulative from the date of 
issuance of each share of Series B Preferred Stock, whether or not declared. 

     (b)  The Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividends or other 
distributions on shares of Common Stock until the holders of the Series B 
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have first received a dividend at the 
rate specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 1. 

   2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, 
Consolidations and Asset Sales. 
(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or 
winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred 
Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the 
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, after and subject 
to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the 
holders of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on 
liquidation prior and in preference to the Series B Preferred Stock 
(collectively referred to as "Senior Preferred Stock"), but before any 
payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other class or 
series of stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series B Preferred Stock 
(such Common Stock and other stock being collectively referred to as "Junior 
Stock") by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $12.50 per 
share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, 
stock split, combination or other similar 

                                1           
<PAGE>
recapitalization affecting such shares), plus any dividends declared or 
accrued but unpaid thereon. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or 
winding up of the Corporation the remaining assets of the Corporation 
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay 
the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which 
they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 
any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the 
Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the 
remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective 
amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by 
them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such 
shares were paid in full. 

   (b) After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to 
the holders of Senior Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and any other 
class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation on a 
parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, upon the dissolution, liquidation 
or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Junior Stock then 
outstanding shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets and funds of 
the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders. 

   (c) In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or 
with another corporation (except one in which the holders of capital stock of 
the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to 
hold at least 80 

   by voting power of the capital stock of the surviving corporation), or the 
sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation, if the 
holders of at least 66 2/3% of the then outstanding shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock so elect by giving written notice thereof to the Corporation 
within 20 days after delivery of written notice of such a transaction by the 
Corporation, then such merger, consolidation or asset sale shall be deemed to 
be a liquidation of the Corporation, and all consideration payable to the 
stockholders of the Corporation (in the case of a merger or consolidation), 
or all consideration payable to the Corporation, together with all other 
available assets of the Corporation (in the case of an asset sale), shall be 
distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance 
with Subsections 2(a) and 2(b) above. The Corporation shall promptly provide 
to the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock such information 
concerning the terms of such merger, consolidation or asset sale and the 
value of the assets of the Corporation as may reasonably be requested by the 
holders of Series B Preferred Stock in order to assist them in determining 
whether to make such an election. If the holders of the Series B Preferred 
Stock make such an election, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to 
amend the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation to adjust the rate at 
which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation are converted into or 
exchanged for cash, new securities or other property to give effect to such 
election. The amount deemed distributed to the holders of Series B Preferred 
Stock upon any such merger or consolidation shall be the cash or the value of 
the property, rights or securities distributed to such holders by the 
acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or 
other securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors 
of the Corporation. If no notice of the election permitted by this Subsection 
(c) is given, the provisions of Subsection 4(h) shall apply. 

   3. Voting. 
(a) Each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be 
entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common 
Stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder 
are then convertible (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4 
hereof), at each meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (and written 
actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all 
matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or 
consideration. Except as provided by law, by the provisions of Subsection 
3(b) below or by the provisions establishing any other series of Series 
Preferred Stock, holders of Series B Preferred Stock and of any other 
outstanding series of Series Preferred Stock shall vote together with the 
holders of Common Stock as a single class. 

     (b)  The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal the preferences, 
special rights or other powers of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to 
affect adversely the Series B Preferred Stock, without the written consent or 
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares 
of Series B Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, 
consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class. For this 
purpose, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the authorization 
of any shares of capital stock with preference or priority over the Series B 
Preferred Stock as to the right to receive either dividends or amounts 
distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation 
shall be deemed to affect adversely the Series B Preferred 

                                2           
<PAGE>
Stock, and the authorization of any shares of capital stock on a parity with 
Series B Preferred Stock as to the right to receive either dividends or 
amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
Corporation shall not be deemed to affect adversely the Series B Preferred 
Stock. The number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be 
increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) 
by the directors of the Corporation pursuant to Section 151 of the General 
Corporation Law of Delaware. 

   4.  Optional Conversion.  The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock 
shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"): 

     (a)  Right to Convert. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be 
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time 
to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder 
thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common 
Stock as is determined by dividing $10.00 by the Conversion Price (as defined 
below) in effect at the time of conversion. The "Conversion Price" shall 
initially be $5.00. Such initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which 
shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common 
Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. 

   In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred 
Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Conversion Rights of the shares 
designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the 
fifth full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption 
price is not paid when due, in which case the Conversion Rights for such 
shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the event of a 
liquidation of the Corporation, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the 
close of business on the first full day preceding the date fixed for the 
payment of any amounts distributable on liquidation to the holders of Series 
B Preferred Stock. 

     (b)  Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be 
issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any 
fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the 
Corporation shall issue such number of whole shares of Common Stock as is 
equal to the number of shares otherwise issuable, rounded up or down to the 
nearest whole number. 

     (c)  Mechanics of Conversion. 
(i)  In order for a holder of Series B Preferred Stock to convert shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall 
surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock, at the office of the transfer agent for the Series B 
Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the 
Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice 
that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the 
Series B Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates. 
Such notice shall state such holder's name or the names of the nominees in 
which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common 
Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered 
for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or 
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly 
executed by the registered holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in 
writing. The date of receipt of such certificates and notice by the transfer 
agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer 
agent) shall be the conversion date ("Conversion Date"). The Corporation 
shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, issue and deliver at 
such office to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, or to his or its 
nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common 
Stock to which such holder shall be entitled. 

      (ii)  The Corporation shall at all times when the Series B Preferred 
Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized 
but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series 
B Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock 
as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all 
outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. 

      (iii)  All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall have been 
surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be 
outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, 
if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate 
on the Conversion Date, except only the right of the holders thereof to 
receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any 
dividends declared or accrued but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be 
reissued, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may 
from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce 
the authorized Series B Preferred Stock accordingly. 

                                3           
<PAGE>
   (d)  Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation 
shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which a share of 
Series B Preferred Stock was first issued (the "Original Issue Date") effect 
a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in 
effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately 
decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after 
the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the Series B Preferred Stock, 
the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall 
be proportionately increased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from 
time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of 
Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the 
combination shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation shall at 
any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the 
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price then in 
effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased. 
Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of 
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. 

   (e)  Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the 
Corporation at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date 
shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of 
Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in 
additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion 
Price for the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as 
of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have 
been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying 
the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock then in effect by a 
fraction: 

     (1)  the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of 
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such 
issuance or the close of business on such record date, and 

     (2)  the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of 
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such 
issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of 
shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; 

   provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such 
dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the 
date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock 
shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record 
date and thereafter the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock 
shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment 
of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no 
such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series B Preferred Stock 
simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common 
Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would 
have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been 
converted into Common Stock on the date of such event. 

   (f)  Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions 
 . In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the 
Original Issue Date for the Series B Preferred Stock shall make or issue, or 
fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled 
to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the 
Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event 
provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock 
shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of 
Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the 
Corporation that they would have received had the Series B Preferred Stock 
been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event; provided however, 
that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series B Preferred 
Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of such 
securities in an amount equal to the amount of such securities as they would 
have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been 
converted into Common Stock on the date of such event. 

   (g)  Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. 
If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred 
Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any 
class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, 
reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of 
shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, 
consolidation, or sale of assets provided for below), then and in each such 
event the holder of each such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have 
the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares 
of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such 
reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number 
of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock 
might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, 
reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided 
herein. 

                                4           
<PAGE>
   (h)  Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. In case of any 
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation 
or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to 
another corporation (other than a consolidation, merger or sale which is 
covered by Subsection 2(c)), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall 
thereafter be convertible (or shall be converted into a security which shall 
be convertible) into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other 
securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common 
Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Series B 
Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or 
sale. 

   (i) Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment 
or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the 
Corporation shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in 
accordance with the terms hereof and, upon the written request of any holder 
of Series B Preferred Stock, furnish to such holder of Series B Preferred 
Stock, certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing 
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. 

   5.  Mandatory Conversion. 
(a)  If the average of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on 
the Nasdaq National Market (or such other securities exchange or trading 
system on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded) over a period of 
15 consecutive trading days exceeds $5.00 per share (subject to appropriate 
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other similar 
recapitalizations affecting such shares), then, upon the close of business on 
such fifteenth day (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), (i) all outstanding 
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into 
shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate and the number 
of authorized shares of Preferred Stock shall be automatically reduced by the 
number of shares of Preferred Stock that had been designated as Series B 
Preferred Stock, and all provisions included under the caption "Series B 
Convertible Preferred Stock", and all references to the Series B Preferred 
Stock, shall be deleted and shall be of no further force or effect. 

     (b)  All holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be 
given written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Date and the place 
designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred 
Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice shall be sent to each record 
holder of Series B Preferred Stock at such holder's address last shown on the 
records of the transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock (or the 
records of the Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent). Upon 
receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock 
shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to 
the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter 
receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such 
holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5. At the close of business on 
the Mandatory Conversion Date, all rights with respect to the Series B 
Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive 
notices and vote, will terminate, except only the rights of the holders 
thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor, to 
receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such 
Series B Preferred Stock has been converted, and payment of any declared or 
accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. If so required by the Corporation, 
certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by 
written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the 
Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his or its attorney 
duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory 
Conversion Date and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for 
Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and 
delivered to such holder, or on his or its written order, a certificate or 
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on such 
conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

     (c)  All certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock 
which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the 
provisions hereof shall, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, be 
deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all 
purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to 
surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. The Corporation may 
thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder 
action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series B Preferred Stock 
accordingly. 

   6. Optional Redemption 

   . (a)  At any time and from time to time, the Corporation may, at the 
option of its Board of Directors, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in 
whole or in part, by paying $12.50 per share (subject to appropriate 
adjustment for 

                                5           
<PAGE>
stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other similar 
recapitalizations affecting such shares), plus any dividends declared or 
accrued but unpaid thereon (hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption 
Price"). 

   (b)  In the event of any redemption of only a part of the then outstanding 
Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall effect such redemption pro 
rata among the holders thereof based on the number of shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock held by such holders on the date of the Redemption Notice (as 
defined below). 

   (c)  At least 30 days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Series 
B Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption Date"), written 
notice shall be mailed to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock 
to be redeemed, at his or its address last shown on the records of the 
transfer agent of the Series B Preferred Stock (or the records of the 
Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent), notifying such holder 
of the election of the Corporation to redeem such shares, specifying the 
Redemption Date and the time at which such holder's conversion rights 
(pursuant to Section 4 hereof) as to such shares terminate (which shall be 
the close of business on the fifth full day preceding the Redemption Date) 
and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner 
and at the place designated, his or its certificate or certificates 
representing the shares to be redeemed (such notice is hereinafter referred 
to as the "Redemption Notice"). On or prior to the Redemption Date, each 
holder of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender his or its 
certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation, in 
the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and 
thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order 
of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the 
owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the 
event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are 
redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed 
shares. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a 
default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of the 
Series B Preferred Stock designated for redemption in the Redemption Notice 
as holders of Series B Preferred Stock of the Corporation (except the right 
to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their 
certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and 
such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the 
Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. 

   (d)  Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors of the 
Corporation shall have authority to prescribe the manner in which Series B 
Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. Any shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock so redeemed shall permanently be retired, shall no longer be 
deemed outstanding and shall not under any circumstances be reissued, and the 
Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be 
necessary to reduce the authorized Series B Preferred Stock accordingly. 
Nothing herein contained shall prevent or restrict the purchase by the 
Corporation, from time to time either at public or private sale, of the whole 
or any part of the Series B Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the 
Corporation may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law. 

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused its corporate seal to be 
affixed hereto and this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by its 
President and attested by its Secretary this 13th day of October, 1994.
