                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                                 (UNAUDITED) 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect 
all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present 
fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of December 31, 1996 
and the results of its consolidated operations and consolidated cash flows 
for the interim periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Certain information 
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 
ended March 31, 1996, as amended. 
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, liabilities and accrued litigation at the date of the 
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during 
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and 
would impact future results of operations and cash flows. 
The results of consolidated operations for the interim periods ended December 
31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of consolidated 
operations that may be expected for the complete fiscal year. 

Trade receivables do not contain any material amounts collectible over a 
period in excess of one year. 
The Company sells its products to a wide variety of customers in a variety of 
industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers 
but does not require collateral or other security to support customer 
receivables. The Company maintains reserves for credit losses and such losses 
have been within management's expectations. 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, 
first-out method, or market and consist primarily of finished goods. 

On June 30, 1992, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 line of credit with Tudor 
Trust, (the "investor"), the largest stockholder of the Company. Mr. Jeffrey 
L. Neuman, trustee of the investor, also serves as Chairman of the Board of 
Directors of 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 the 
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 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, effective as of May 31, 1996, pursuant to which (a) the investor 
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 under the line of credit 
(which were issuable on a quarterly basis), and (b) in consideration 
therefor, the Company issued to the investor 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). The Company concludes that no interest charge 
is necessary regarding this transaction because the exercise price of the 
warrants is approximately equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock 
at the time the commitment to issue the warrants arose. In connection with 
this line of credit amendment, the investor 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 December 31, 1996, the Company had $4,900,000 outstanding under the 
amended line of credit. As of February 13, 1997, the Company was fully 
utilizing the credit available under the amended line of credit. The Company 
and the investor have agreed in principle on an amendment to the line of 
credit that would increase the maximum loan amount thereunder from $5,000,000 
to $6,000,000. Such amendment would also provide that the investor shall have 
the sole discretion to decide whether or not to make any and all advances of 
funds in excess of $5,000,000, and that the investor shall have the right to 
refuse to make any advances of any such funds in excess of $5,000,000 for any 
reason or no reason. The Company expects to complete documentation of this 
amendment in February 1997, but there can be no assurance that it will do so. 

In May 1987, the Company issued $25,000,000 of 6% Convertible Subordinated 
Debentures due 2002 (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 $19,035,000 principal amount of Debentures. 
Substantially all of these transactions involved the exchange of outstanding 
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, bearing interest (payable at maturity) at 
15% per year (compounded annually) and maturing 30 months from issuance and 
(ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of the Company per $1,000,000 principal 
amount of Debentures. 

                                7

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 outstanding principal amount of the 
Debentures have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the remaining 
Debentures. As of February 13, 1997, no such acceleration had occurred or 
been threatened. 
In addition, as of September 30, 1996 the Company had issued promissory notes 
in an aggregate principal amount of $5,815,000 in connection with the 
Debenture exchange transactions described above, the interest on which 
accrues at a rate of 15% per year and is $2,452,000 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. Prior to September 30, 1996, the Company closed exchange 
transactions with 15% Promissory Note holders of an aggregate principal 
amount of $5,709,000 and accrued interest of $2,353,000, 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 will mature 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 preference 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. 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 shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible. The exchange transactions were 
completed assuming a fair value of $10 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. 
As of December 31, 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, but there can be 
no assurance that it will do so. 

   On September 30, 1996, the Company completed transactions with holders of 
an aggregate of 80%, or $4,569,000, principal amount of the then outstanding 
4% Promissory Notes. Under the terms of the agreement, the holders of the 4% 
Promissory Notes exchanged 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 was paid in cash as the time of such exchange). 
Subsequent to September 30, 1996 and prior to February 13, 1997, the Company 
entered into agreements with holders of an additional $387,000 principal 
amount of the outstanding 4% Promissory Notes on substantially the same terms 
as described above. Accordingly, as of February 13, 1997, the Company had 
consummated transactions with holders of an aggregate of $4,956,000 principal 
amount of the outstanding 4% Promissory Notes to convert their principal into 
equity. 
Also, on September 30, 1996, the Company completed transactions with 
investors holding an aggregate of 59%, or $2,000,000, principal amount of the 
outstanding Debentures. Under the terms of the agreement, holders of the 
Debentures exchanged 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. As 
of February 13, 1997, a total of $1,375,000 principal amount of Debentures 
remained outstanding. Of such Debentures, the Company has identified the 
holders of $315,000 principal amount, leaving the holders of $1,060,000 
principal amount of Debentures unidentified. 

   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 exchange 
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. 
The Company anticipates that its cash requirements for the remainder of 
fiscal 1997 will be satisfied from its 

                                8           
<PAGE>
present cash balances, cash flow from existing operations, and its credit 
line, assuming the continued forbearance by the Debentureholders and the 
availability of increased borrowings under the credit line should the Company 
require them. However, there can be no assurance that such forbearance will 
continue or that the investor will advance any funds in excess of $5,000,000 
under the credit line. 

The Company's deferred tax assets consist 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. There has been no 
change to the valuation allowance during the nine months ended December 31, 
1996.

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
                                  OPERATIONS 
        FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

   Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 were $5,698,000, an increase 
of $410,000, or 8%, from the same quarter of fiscal 1996. Revenues for the 
first nine months of fiscal 1997 were $17,208,000, an increase of $237,000, 
or 1%, from the same period of the previous year. In the third quarter of 
fiscal 1997, systems revenues increased $546,000, or 20%, from the same 
quarter of fiscal 1996. For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, systems 
revenues increased $254,000, or 3%, from the comparable period of fiscal 
1996. These increases in revenues are primarily attributable to the 
continuing strategy of growing a network of domestic and international 
resellers. For the three and nine month periods ending December 31, 1996, 
service revenues decreased $136,000, or 5%, and $17,000, or less than 1%, 
from the comparable periods of the previous year. These decreases are 
primarily due to decreases in the Publishing division domestic service 
revenues caused by expiring maintenance contracts. 

   For the third quarter of fiscal 1997, gross margins increased to 48% of 
revenues from 43% in the comparable period of fiscal 1996. For the first nine 
months of fiscal 1997, gross margins increased to 49% of revenues from 48% of 
revenues for the comparable period of fiscal 1996. Systems margins for the 
third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased to 69% of revenues from 53% for the 
same quarter of fiscal 1996. For the first nine months of fiscal 1997 systems 
margins increased to 66% of revenues from 59% of revenues for the comparable 
period of fiscal 1996. This increase in margins is primarily attributable to 
an increase in the proportion of commercial software sales in the domestic 
publishing division. For the third quarter of fiscal 1997, service margins 
decreased to 19% of revenues from 32% for the same quarter of fiscal 1996. 
For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, service margins decreased to 25% of 
revenues from 33% for the same period of the previous fiscal year. These 
decreases in service margins were primarily the result of decreased 
Publishing division revenues and a higher level of fixed costs, primarily in 
Contex's European division. 

   Research and development expenses, net of capitalized software development 
costs, were $797,000 and $2,266,000 for the three and nine month periods 
ended December 31, 1996. These amounts represent decreases of 9% and 6%, 
respectively, from the comparable periods of fiscal 1996. Capitalized 
software development costs were $300,000 and $1,053,000 for the third quarter 
and first nine months of fiscal 1997, respectively, as compared to $302,000 
and $1,039,000 for the same time periods of fiscal 1996. Research and 
development expenses (excluding software development costs) for the third 
quarter decreased to 14% of revenues from 17% for the same quarter of fiscal 
1996. For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, research and development 
expenses (excluding software development costs) decreased to 13% of revenues 
from 14% for the same time period of fiscal 1996. The expense decreases were 
mainly a result of decreased headcount and its associated costs related to 
the restructuring charge described below. 

   Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $1,776,000 and 
$5,509,000, or 31% and 32% of revenues for the third quarter and the first 
nine months of fiscal 1997, respectively. These are decreases from $2,669,000 
and $7,634,000 for the comparable periods of fiscal 1996, which represented 
50% and 45% of revenues, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result 
of decreased Contex division bad debt expense in the domestic and European 
markets. 

   In the third quarter of 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 work force 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. 

   The decrease in interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was 
primarily the result of the conversion of Debentures and 4% Promissory Notes 
into common stock of the Company described in Note 5 to the consolidated 
financial statements. The increase in interest expense for the first nine 
months of fiscal 1997 was primarily a result of the higher average balance in 
the credit line described below and in Note 4 to the consolidated financial 
statements. 

   The Company's deferred tax assets consist primarily of its net operating 
loss carryforwards. The Company has a valuation allowance to fully offset 
future tax benefits of these deferred tax assets. There has been no change in 
the valuation allowance for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. 

   As a result of the 15% Promissory Note exchange program described below 
and in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accrued 
dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. These amounts were $24,000 and 
$70,000 for the three and nine month periods ending December 31, 1996, 
respectively, and $22,000 and $63,000 for the comparable periods of the 

                               10

previous fiscal year. 

                               10

   The Company recorded net income allocable to common stockholders of 
$16,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to a net loss of 
$2,017,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. For the first nine months of 
fiscal 1997, the Company recorded net income allocable to common stockholders 
of $37,000 compared to a net loss of $3,018,000 for the same period a year 
ago. 

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

   At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash of $227,000, which is a 
decrease of $105,000 from March 31, 1996. During the first nine months of 
fiscal 1997, the Company's operating and investment activities used 
$1,973,000 of cash. 

   The Company has a $5,000,000 amended line of credit with Tudor Trust, the 
largest stockholder of the Company. Mr. Jeffrey L. Neuman, trustee of Tudor 
Trust, also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. This 
credit 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. The credit line currently bears interest at a rate of 8% 
per year, payable monthly. As of December 31, 1996 the Company had an 
outstanding line of credit balance of $4,900,000. As of February 13, 1997 the 
Company was fully utilizing the credit available under the amended line of 
credit. The Company and the investor have agreed in principle on an amendment 
to the line of credit that would increase the maximum loan amount thereunder 
from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000. Such amendment would also provide that the 
investor shall have the sole discretion to decide whether or not to make any 
and all advances of funds in excess of $5,000,000, and that the investor 
shall have the right to refuse to make any advances of any such funds in 
excess of $5,000,000 for any reason or no reason. The Company expects to 
complete documentation of this amendment in February 1997, but there can be 
no assurance that it will do so. 

   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 $19,035,000 principal amount of 
Debentures. Substantially all of these transactions involved the exchange of 
outstanding 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, bearing interest (payable at maturity) 
at 15% per year (compounded annually) and maturing 30 months from issuance 
and (ii) 107,095 shares of common stock of the Company per $1,000,000 
principal amount of Debentures. 

   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 outstanding principal amount of 
the Debentures have the right to accelerate the maturity date of the 
remaining Debentures. As of February 13, 1997, no such acceleration had 
occurred or been threatened. 

   In addition, as of September 30, 1996, the Company had issued promissory 
notes in an aggregate principal amount of $5,815,000 in connection with the 
Debenture exchange transactions described above, the interest on which 
accrues at a rate of 15% per year and is $2,452,000 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. Prior to September 30, 1996, the Company closed exchange 
transactions with 15% Promissory Note holders of an aggregate principal 
amount of $5,709,000 and accrued interest of $2,353,000, 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 will mature 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 preference 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. 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 shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible. The exchange transactions were 
completed assuming a fair value of $10 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. 
As of December 31, 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 but there can be 
no assurance that it will do so. 

   On September 30, 1996, the Company completed transactions with holders of 
an aggregate of 80%, or $4,569,000 principle amount of the then outstanding 

                               12           
<PAGE>
4% Promissory Notes. Under the terms of the agreement, the holders of the 4% 
Promissory Notes exchanged their 4% Promissory Notes for such number of 
shares of common 

                               12           
<PAGE>
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 was paid in 
cash as the time of such exchange). 

   Subsequent to September 30, 1996 and prior to February 13, 1997, the 
Company entered into agreements with holders of an additional $387,000 
principal amount of the outstanding 4% Promissory Notes on substantially the 
same terms as described above. Accordingly, as of February 13, 1997, the 
Company had consummated transactions with holders of an aggregate of 
$4,956,000 principal amount of the then outstanding 4% Promissory Notes to 
convert their principle into equity. 

   Also, on September 30, 1996, the Company completed transactions with 
investors holding an aggregate amount of 59%, or $2,000,000, principal amount 
of the Debentures. Under the terms of the agreement, holders of the 
Debentures exchanged 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. As 
of February 13, 1997, a total of $1,375,000 principal amount of Debentures 
remained outstanding. Of such Debentures, the Company has identified the 
holders of $315,000 principal amount, leaving the holders of $1,060,000 
principal amount of Debentures unidentified. 

   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 exchange 
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. 

   The Company anticipates that its cash requirements for the remainder 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 and the availability of increased borrowings under 
the credit line should the Company require them. However, there can be no 
assurance that such forbearance will continue or that the investor will 
advance any funds in excess of $5,000,000 under the credit line.
