Item 1.  Business.


General

During the fiscal year ended  January  31,  1996,  Multi  Solutions,  Inc.  (the
"Company" or "Multi  Solutions") was relatively  inactive,  its primary activity
being the  support of its  subsidiary,  Multi Soft,  Inc.  ("Multi  Soft").  The
business of Multi Soft is discussed below. From September,  1988 until February,
1993,  the  Company  had been  marketing a software  program,  developed  by its
Chairman, called Hyper-Action. The Company no longer markets this program.

Licensing Agreement with Former Officer of Multi Solutions

      Effective  August 31, 1991 the Company entered with a licensing  agreement
with Widow,  Inc, a corporation  whose  president was a former  officer of Multi
Solutions,  Inc.  The fee for the  licensing  rights  which was  received by the
Company was $20,000. Pursuant to the license agreement, Widow has limited rights
to  further  develop,  market,  and  sell  the  SI  products  and  should  Widow
successfully  generate sales, the Company would be entitled to royalties on such
sales.

BUSINESS OF MULTI SOFT

   Multi Soft,  Inc.  (or "Multi  Soft") was  incorporated  in January 1985 as a
wholly owned  subsidiary of Multi  Solutions,  Inc.  ("MSI") and, as of the date
hereof,  is a 56.8% owned  subsidiary of the Company.  Multi Soft engages in the
production,   marketing  and   maintenance   of   communications   front-ending,
client-server  and  cooperative  processing   technologies  called  The  Windows
Communications  LibraryTM  (WCL(TM)) for Windows and INFRONT and  QuickFRONT For
DOS.

The Technology

   The  Multi  Soft  product  line  consists  of tools  for the  development  of
client-server  applications using the mainframe as the Enterprise Server.  There
are four key elements to the real world  development,  delivery  and  production
maintenance  of these  applications,  and all are  supported  by the Multi  Soft
product line. These include screen-based access to mainframe data and processes;
message-based   access  to  mainframe   data  and   processes;   integration  of
screen-based and message-based  access to the mainframe in the same application;
and control and distribution management.

   Screen-based   access  to  Mainframe  Data  and  Processes   (which  includes
front-ending) allows the user to enhance existing mainframe applications through
the integration of client technologies such as GUIs (graphical user interfaces),
imaging  and local  data,  without  changing  any  mainframe  code.  This allows
companies to leverage their PC capabilities to streamline user processes and for
presenting  mainframe data to users in a way that is intuitive,  easy to use and
productive. Screen-based access to the mainframe is supported by WCL, QuickFRONT
and INFRONT.

   Message-based  access to Mainframe  Data and  Processes  allows  companies to
create client-server  applications,  where the PC is used for the client portion
of the  application  (i.e.,  all user  interaction,  dialogue flow and access to
local data) and the mainframe is used for the server portion of the  application
(i.e., management of database interaction, data integrity and security). In this
architecture,  only data and messages are passed between the PC and host,  which
results in a streamlined  and optimized  production  application.  Message-based
access to the  mainframe  is  supported by WCL's  WCL/Enterprise  Server  Option
("WCL/ESO"), and by INFRONT's and QuickFRONT's Host Processing Option ("HPO").


                                     - 3 -

   Integrity  Control and  Distribution  Management  allows companies to use the
mainframe system to centrally manage the integrity of the work station logic and
distribute new version releases. In production client-server  applications it is
important  to ensure that the  programs,  files and data  residing on the PC are
correct  before the user starts the  application.  When  changes are made to the
work  station  logic,  the host can also be used to manage the  distribution  of
these changes.  Integrity  control and  distribution  management is supported by
WCL's  WCL/Software   Distribution  Option  ("WCL/SDO")  and  by  INFRONT's  and
QuickFRONT's Software Distribution Facility ("SDF").

The Multi Soft Product Line

   The Multi Soft Product line consists of two product sets: the WCL product set
and  the  INFRONT/QuickFRONT  product  set.  The  WCL  product  set  is an  open
environment that runs under Windows and includes WCL,  WCL/ESO and WCL/SDO.  The
INFRONT and QuickFRONT product set is an integrated  environment that runs under
DOS and Windows. It includes INFRONT, QuickFRONT, HPO and SDF.

   WCL is a toolkit and a set of DLLs (Dynamic  Linked  Libraries)  that work in
conjunction with Windows 3270 emulation  products to provide easy integration of
data and  processing  between  PC/LANs  (local area networks) and the mainframe.
Because  WCL is open,  any of the  standard  Windows  development  tools such as
PowerBuilder,  Visual Basic,  and C++, can be used with WCL to create the client
application.  It  supports  the  development  of GUI  front-ends,  client-server
applications  that use the  mainframe  as a server  and  integrity  control  and
distribution  management.  The WCL  toolkit  provides an  automated  development
environment  that includes,  among other things, a screen capture  mechanism,  a
screen maintenance and a screen matching facility. In addition, it provides code
generation to remove the  complexity  and  development  effort  associated  with
building GUI front-end applications.

   WCL/ESO is the host component to WCL and provides a  message-based  transport
layer  between  client  PC/LANs and the  mainframe.  The client  application  is
created using any of the standard  Windows  tools and  products,  and the server
application is created using a standard  language,  such as COBOL. Any mainframe
file  structure or database,  such as VSAM,  DB2, or IMS, can be accessed  using
WCL/ESO  through CICS (an IBM mainframe  operating  environment).  Client-server
applications  developed  using  WCL/ESO  have  the  added  advantage  of using a
company's existing mainframe skills and infrastructure, including security, data
integrity, backup and recovery and disaster recovery.

   WCL/SDO is a WCL/ESO  application  created  for the  centralized  control and
management of application code, data and software for distributed  client-server
applications.  It allows companies to control, audit and distribute from central
host-based  master libraries to distributed PCs. These PCs can be clients and/or
servers.  WCL/SDO is used as a verification  mechanism to ensure all files,  and
appropriate  versions of files are present on a PC or in a host library. It will
automatically  update the PC or Host with  correct  versions of files if any are
found to be missing or invalid.  This facility is important  for the  successful
production management of large-scale distributed applications.



                                     - 4 -

   QuickFRONT  is a powerful,  but easy to use, tool which offers the ability to
rapidly  improve  existing  mainframe  applications  by  creating  new  PC-based
interfaces  for them.  This can be  accomplished  without  programming,  without
training,  without any significant learning curve and without any changes to the
mainframe  code.  If the user needs  special  functions  that are not  generated
automatically  through  QuickFRONT's  dialogues,  the user also has  access to a
powerful 4GL (fourth generation  language) called CPL/1.  QuickFRONT is designed
to give the user the maximum benefit from front-ending  with maximum  investment
from both a development resource and software expenditure standpoint.

   INFRONT  is  a  comprehensive  and  integrated  development  environment  for
building PC front-ends and client-server  applications  with the mainframe.  The
development  environment  includes:  an intelligent  forms subsystem with screen
capture,  screen painting,  editing and validation assignment  facilities,  data
dictionary;  a 4GL; an intelligent  editor with language  templates and reusable
code library; a PC-resident database,  including database maintenance facilities
such as sorting and reorganizing;  sophisticated debugging facilities, including
a source-level language debugger, and other utilities such as code libraries and
forms libraries.

   HPO (Host Processing  Option) is the host component to QuickFRONT and INFRONT
that supports the development of client-server  applications using the mainframe
as a server.  HPO is also used to  incrementally  migrate  legacy systems into a
client-server  architecture.  It uses a message-based  protocol for peer-to-peer
interaction  between PC/LANs and host systems.  HPO delivers the capabilities of
APPC and LU6.2  (communications  protocols)  over the  user's  existing  LU2 and
asynchronous  networks  without  requiring any upgrades.  HPO allows the user to
offload 60% to 80% of an application's logic to the client, thereby reducing the
mainframe to the role of a server.

   SDF (Software Distribution Facility) is a client-server  application based on
HPO. It is a utility for the centralized,  host-based management of work station
integrity  and the  automated  distribution  of updates  and new  versions of PC
software,  files  and  data.  With SDF a  master  production  library  of all PC
programs, files and data is stored on the host. As a user logs on to the system,
SDF can automatically  check to see if the programs,  files and data on the work
station are correct according to the master library on the host. If they are not
correct,  SDF will  automatically  download  the  correct  versions  before  the
application  is  started.  If  they  are  correct,   the  application   proceeds
immediately.


Key Services

   Multi Soft offers a wide array of training and consulting  services  designed
to help its new customers get a fast start in  client\server  development and to
help existing  customers  with  additional  resources to  facilitate  successful
production application roll-outs.

Clients

   Multi Soft's past and current client base spans over 40,000 users  throughout
approximately  125 Fortune 500  companies.  Customers  that have licensed  Multi
Soft's products include:  American Cyanamid, Bell Atlantic, ITT Hartford, Honda,
Con Edison,  Hoescht,  American International Group, Ciba Geigy, Comdisco,  EDS,
Exxon,  General Electric,  Hilton, Lever Brothers,  Teachers Insurance,  Chicago
Northwestern and US West Business.


In-House Marketing and Sales

   In addition to their management responsibilities, Charles Lombardo and Miriam
Jarney also are active in sales and  marketing.  At present,  in-house sales are
generally made through  telemarketing.  If Multi Soft obtains  additional  funds
from  operations or otherwise,  it plans to further market its products  through
advertisements in trade publications and targeted mailings.  No assurance can be
given that Multi Soft will have sufficient  funds to increase its in-house sales
and marketing activities.

Distributors

   To supplement its domestic sales and marketing efforts,  Multi Soft has built
an  international   distribution   network.   Business  arrangements  have  been
established with software distributors in European markets and Australia.  These
organizations  include:  Ferntree  Computer Services  (Australia),  SEE Software
Engineering (Switzerland) and Software Engineering (Holland, Germany, UK).

Strategic Alliances

   Multi  Soft  has  established  strategic   relationships  with  complementary
hardware and software  vendors.  Most notable among these are the  relationships
with IBM (see "IBM" below) and Computer Data  Systems,  Inc.  ("CDSI").  CDSI, a
supplier of financial  systems and consulting  services to the government market
place,  licenses  Multi Soft products into it existing  customer base and to new
clients.


IBM

   In October  1993,  Multi Soft  entered  into a Software  Licensing  Agreement
("SLA") and other ancillary  agreements with IBM Corporation  ("IBM")  providing
IBM with certain  exclusive  marketing rights for Multi Soft's flagship product,
WCL (runtime  version)  with IBM IMS  Extensions.  This IBM EXTENDED  VERSION of
Multi Soft's WCL is named IMS Client ServerTM for Windows. Specifically modified
for use with IBM mainframe  systems,  IMS Client  ServerTM for Windows  provides
remote presentation support for IMS.

   The  IBM  agreement,  effective  for a term of  seven  years  with  automatic
renewals for two more one year  periods,  provides for the payment of percentage
royalties  and unit  royalties as specified in the  agreement.  The Agreement is
terminable  by IBM upon 90 days  notice.  As of April 1996,  Multi Soft has been
receiving monthly maintenance from the above contract.

   Multi Soft and IBM also have entered into International  Marketing Agreements
to market Multi Soft's WCL Toolkit  under the name IMS Client  Server  ToolkitTM
for Windows in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Asian Pacific Region, Europe,
the Middle East, Africa and Canada. IMS Client Server ToolkitTM  facilitates the
generation of client application which run with IMS Client ServerTM for Windows.


                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>


   In addition,  in  September  1994,  Multi Soft entered into an  International
Software Licensing  Agreement with IBM's Personal  Communications  3270 division
("P-Comm").  This  agreement  allows  IBM to logo and  market a P-Comm  specific
version of both the Toolkit and  Runtime of Multi  Soft's WCL.  Pursuant to this
agreement,  Multi Soft will  receive a minimum of $75,000 per quarter over a two
year period representing minimum advances against royalties.  This IBM agreement
is  effective  for a term of two years and is  renewable by IBM for two more one
year  periods.  The  Agreement is  terminable  by Multi Soft or IBM upon 90 days
notice in the event of a default by the other party.

   Management believes, but cannot assure, that these marketing and distribution
agreements  will  provide  Multi  Soft  with  a  significant   presence  in  the
marketplace, enhance the visibility and credibility of Multi Soft, and result in
increased  sales of  Multi  Soft's  products  by  Multi  Soft  and its  existing
distributors. Management expects but cannot assure that, as the IBM relationship
matures,  significant revenues will be generated by IBM and Multi Soft's product
sales base will continue to expand. In addition, management expects that, as the
products  sales base expands,  so will the  subsequent  maintenance  and support
revenue.

Since fiscal 1994, IBM has represented a significant  percentage of Multi Soft's
revenues  See  "Item  6.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations".

Bellcore

   In 1995 Multi Soft, Inc. entered a joint development and marketing  agreement
with  Bellcore  to develop  and  market a Sun  Solaris  Unix  version of its WCL
product.  The agreement  provides that Bellcore pay Multi Soft for developing an
extension  of its WCL  product to the Sun Solaris  Unix  environment.  Also,  it
provides  for a joint  marketing  agreement in which both  companies  will share
marketing royalties.

Employees

   The Company only has two  employees,  its  officers:  Charles J. Lombardo and
Miriam  Jarney.  Employees of Multi Soft devote such time as is necessary to the
Company's business.  Multi Soft has twelve employees and consultants,  including
two officers, three support personnel, four technical and engineering, and three
administrative/secretarial personnel.


Competition

   Multi Soft  operates in a business  composed of strong  competitors,  many of
whom have substantially  greater resources,  are better established,  and have a
longer history of operations than Multi Soft. In addition, many competitors have
more extensive facilities than those which now or in the foreseeable future will
become available to Multi Soft.

   Multi Soft  competes  directly with computer  manufacturers,  large  computer
service companies and independent  software suppliers.  Multi Soft believes that
hundreds  of  firms  that  manufacture   software   applications   products  are
significant  competitors,  and Multi Soft is one of the smaller  entities in the
field.

   Multi Soft's products  provide  front-ending,  client-server  and cooperative
processing  technologies  which  Multi Soft  believes  represent  a  significant
advance over other products being marketed.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.


Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended  January 31,  1996  Compared to Fiscal Year Ended  January 31,
1995

   Revenues  for the fiscal  year ended  January  31,  1996 were  $1,399,180  as
compared to $939,195  in fiscal  year 1995,  an increase of $459,985  (49%).This
increase is primarily  due to a 138% increase in revenues from license fees from
$340,832 to $812,069, much of which come from the companies largest customers.

   In fiscal 1996,  Multi Soft's two principal  sources of revenues were license
fees and maintenance  fees which  represented  approximately  58% ($812,069) and
40.3% ($545,977) percent of revenues in 1996, respectively.

   Revenues  in fiscal  1996  include  $192,856  of the  $300,000  nonrefundable
royalty payment advance from IBM (see Note I to the financial  statements as of,
and for the year ended January 31, 1996).

   Management believes that the growth in maintenance fees during the year ended
January 31, 1996 is due to an increase in requests  from  customers  for product
updates, technical assistance and support.

   Operating  expenses  decreased 9.3% from fiscal 1995  ($1,575,198)  to fiscal
1996  ($1,428,876)   primarily  as  a  result  of  a  decrease  in  selling  and
administrative  costs. The increase in software development costs is principally
due to an increase in the base of capitalized development costs.

   Other  income  (expenses)  changed  from $11,695 in fiscal 1995 to $49,249 in
fiscal 1996.  1995 includes  special  discount to investors of ($28,215).  Also,
settlements  of  previously  written off  accounts  payable is included as other
income in the amount of $45,630 for 1995 and $54,782 for 1996.

   As a result of all of the  foregoing,  the Company's  income  in fiscal  1996
$21,553 improved substantially compared to its loss in 1995 ($624,308).

Major Customers

   In fiscal 1996, IBM accounted for 42% of total revenues.  In fiscal 1995, IBM
accounted for 33% of total revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At  January  31,  1996,  the  Company  had a working  capital  deficiency  of
($1,215,809) and has experienced cash flow problems.


                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>


   Management of Multi Soft has taken  various steps to correct this  situation.
Overhead  costs have been cut  drastically  as a result of staff  reductions and
curtailment of all outside marketing and advertising costs. In addition,  senior
staff  salaries  were  reduced  and  executive  officers'  salaries  were partly
deferred.  Secondly,  Multi Soft  broadened  its  product  base into the Windows
environment and has made its Windows based products easier to learn and use.

   In addition,  in  September  1994,  Multi Soft entered into an  International
Software Licensing  Agreement with IBM's Personal  Communications  3270 division
("P-Comm").  This  agreement  allows  IBM to logo and  market a P-Comm  specific
version of both the Toolkit and Runtime of Multi Soft's WCLTM.  Pursuant to this
agreement,  Multi Soft will  receive a minimum of $75,000 per quarter over a two
year  period  representing  minimum  advances  against  royalties  (see "Item 1.
Business - IBM").

   It is Multi  Soft's  intent to remain a  technology  provider  and search out
multiple  distribution  channels,  rather than to try and grow via an  expensive
direct  sales  force.  This allows the focus to stay on  technology,  with a low
overhead cost for each distribution channel used. However, if Multi Soft obtains
additional  funds from  operations  or  otherwise,  it plans to expand  in-house
marketing  activities by  advertising  in trade  publications  and by conducting
targeted mailing. (See "Item 1. Business - In-House Marketing and Sales").

Dividend Policy

   The Company has not declared or paid any  dividends on its common stock since
its  inception  and does not  anticipate  the  declaration  or  payment  of cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain earnings,  if
any, to finance the development  and expansion of its business.  Future dividend
policy will be subject to the  discretion  of the Board of Directors and will be
contingent  upon future  earnings,  if any, the Company's  financial  condition,
capital requirements,  general business conditions and other factors. Therefore,
there can be no assurance that dividends of any kind will ever be paid.

Effect of Inflation

   Management  believes  that  inflation  has not had a  material  effect on its
operations for the periods presented.

Robinson  on  any  matter  of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial

covenant  preventing Ms. Jarney from becoming  employed by a similar  company in
any state or  country in which  Multi Soft does  business,  or  engaging  in any
competitive  business for her own account.  The  employment  agreement  has been
renewed for an additional year on an annual basis.

Item 12.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

     Multi  Soft  has a demand  loan  with a  commercial  bank.  Borrowings  are
collateralized  Multi Soft`s accounts receivable and bear interest at the bank's
prime rate plus 2% (10.75% at January 31,  1996).  The Company was in default on
this loan.  Multi Soft  obtained a  forbearance  from the bank in November  1993
requiring an initial $20,000 payment and monthly payments of $1,500 of principal
and interest and the personal  guarantee of the Company's  Chairman.  As of this
date,  Multi Soft is in compliance with the terms of the  forbearance  agreement
and owes  approximately  $41,000.  During 1996 and 1995,  the maximum  amount of
borrowings outstanding were $53,729 and $61,415, respectively.

     In June 1993, Multi Soft conducted a private placement of Multi Soft common
stock for a total of 268,671  shares at $.03 per share,  in connection  with the
private placement by Multi Solutions, Inc. ("MSI") of $260,000 in convertible 8%
promissory  notes (the "Notes").  MSI used $210,000 of the net proceeds from the
Notes to purchase an additional  700,000 shares of Multi Soft. The principal and
interest  due under the Notes,  pursuant  to the terms of the  Notes,  have been
converted into  restricted  shares Multi Soft's common stock at the rate of $.30
per share (936,450  shares in the  aggregate).  The holders of the Notes and the
268,671 shares have exercised their right to demand registration of these shares
and  accordingly,  on March 17, 1995 a  registration  statement on Form SB-2 was
filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission to register these shares and
certain other shares.

     In January and March 1994, Multi Soft issued an aggregate of 254,500 shares
at $.03 per share to the  individuals  who converted  their MSI notes into Multi
Soft shares and 254,500 shares to MSI for $.03 per share.

     In consideration of MSI incurring the risk of potentially having to pay off
the Notes if the  Noteholders  had not elected to convert their Notes into Multi
Soft's shares,  and in consideration  for MSI's purchase of a bulk of restricted
Multi Soft shares with the  proceeds of the Note  offering at or slightly  above
the market value of Multi Soft's freely tradeable  shares (i.e.,  well above the
actual value of such shares given the size of the purchase,  the  restriction on
transfer and the extreme liquidity  problems of Multi Soft at that time),  Multi
Soft issued an additional 283,334 shares of its restricted common stock to MSI.

     Although there is no written  agreement between MSI and Multi Soft granting
MSI  preemptive  rights with regard to MSI's  majority  ownership  of Multi Soft
common stock, in practice,  MSI has and plans to continue to acquire  sufficient
shares of Multi Soft's  common  stock to assure its majority  ownership in Multi
Soft.

     In June  1993,  Multi Soft  issued  58,334  shares of its  common  stock to
Charles  J.  Lombardo  as  compensation  for  his  personally  guaranteeing  the
repayment of Multi Soft`s $175,000 loan from the Bank of Mid Jersey.

In January 1996,  Multi Soft issued  1,500,000 shares of its common stock to the
Company. The transaction was valued at $.22 per share ($330,000) for which Multi
Solutions was to issue a note.

In connection  with this  transaction,  Multi Soft paid for the  acquisition  of
1,000,000 each of the Company's common shares (valued at $0.08 per share) to the
chairman and vice president by allowing the indebtedness of the Company to Multi
Soft to be reduced by $160,000  which thereby  reduced the debt of Multi Soft to
the two officers by the same amount.

After completion of this series of transactions,  the net debt due to Multi Soft
in connection with the common stock sale was reduced to $170,000.

Through  the end of MSI's  fiscal year ending  January  31,  1994,  MSI owed Mr.
Lombardo $98,946 in accrued salary. In July 1994, MSI authorized the issuance of
549,700  shares of its Common  Stock to Mr.  Lombardo  in lieu of the  foregoing
accrued salary.  During fiscal 1996, the company issued 1,000,000 shares to each
Charles  Lombardo and Miriam  Jarney,  such  transaction  being  effected to pay
accrued  salary of Multi Soft and  reducing  debts of the company to Multi Soft.
The  balance  due  between  both  officers  as of January  31,  1986 is $746,621
including deferred increases of $636,605.

     Multi Soft subleases its office space from C&S Consulting,  Inc., a company
owned by the Company's Chairman and his wife (see "Item 2. Properties").

                REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT


To the Board of Directors
Multi Solutions, Inc.

I have audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of Multi  Solutions,  Inc. and
Subsidiary  as of  January  31,  1996  and  1995  and the  related  consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for
the years then ended.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of the
Company's  management.  My  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with generally  accepted auditing  standards.
Those standards  require that I 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.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Multi Solutions,  Inc.
and Subsidiary as of January 31, 1996 and 1995 and the  consolidated  results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended,  in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the
financial statements,  the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has a  working  capital  deficiency,  raising  substantial  doubt  about its
ability to continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these
matters are also  described in Note A. The  financial  statements do not include
any  adjustments  relating to the  recoverability  and  classification  of asset
carrying  amounts or the amount and  classification  of  liabilities  that might
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            January 31, 1996 and 1995


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   Multi Solutions,  Inc. (the Company) was  incorporated  under the laws of the
   State of New Jersey on July 26,  1982.  The  Company is  presently  a holding
   company for its ownership of its  subsidiary,  Multi Soft, Inc. (Multi Soft).
   As of January  31, 1996 and 1995,  the company  owns 56.8% and 50.3% of Multi
   Soft, Inc., respectively.

   The Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  presented on a
   going  concern basis which  contemplates  the  realization  of assets and the
   satisfaction  of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The liquidity
   of the Company has been  adversely  affected in recent  years by  significant
   losses from operations.  The Company earned net income of $21,547 in 1996 but
   incurred  losses of $569,808 in 1995. In addition,  at January 31, 1996,  the
   Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,215,809 and total
   liabilities exceeded total assets by $495,960.

   The Company  intends to  aggressively  market its new products  (see note I),
   control operating costs and broaden its product base through  enhancements of
   products for use by non-technical computer personnel.

   The Company  believes that these measures will provide  sufficient  liquidity
   for it to continue as a going concern in its present form.  Accordingly,  the
   consolidated  financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
   the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount
   and  classification  of  liabilities or any other  adjustments  that might be
   necessary  should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern in its
   present form.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   1. Principles of Consolidation

   The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of
   the Company and its 56.8% owned subsidiary,  Multi Soft, Inc. All significant
   intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
   None of Multi  Soft's net  income  was  allocated  to  minority  shareholders
   because the company  absorbed the  minority  interest of  accumulated  losses
   allocated up to January 31, 1995.

   2. Furniture and Equipment

   Furniture and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is provided on the
   straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the assets  which
   range from three to seven years.

   Depreciation  expense was $2,372 and $9,964 for the years  ended  January 31,
   1996 and 1995 respectively.

   3. Capitalization of Computer Software

   Capitalized  software  development  costs  relating  to  products  for  which
   technological  feasibility has been  established  qualify for  capitalization
   under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the
   Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed."

                      Multi Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            January 31, 1996 and 1995


   Research  and  development  costs  associated  with the  creation of computer
   software  prior  to  reaching  technological   feasibility  are  expensed  as
   incurred, except for related computer equipment expenditures such as personal
   computers  and  other  hardware   components,   which  are   capitalized  and
   depreciated  over  their  useful  lives if the  equipment  is  deemed to have
   alternative future use.

   Capitalized  software  development costs are amortized to operations when the
   product is  available  for  general  release to  customers.  Amortization  is
   calculated  using (a) the ratio of current gross  revenues for the product to
   the total of current and  anticipated  gross revenues for that product or (b)
   the  straight-line  method over the  remaining  useful  life of the  product,
   whichever is greater.

   The  Company  is  amortizing,  over a sixty  month  period,  the  capitalized
   software costs for its Windows-based  products.  The period is based on sales
   forecasts for the seven year agreement between Multi Soft, Inc. and IBM which
   began in October 1993. The Company's  Windows  products are  compatible  with
   Windows 95 and further modifications are continually made specifically for 32
   bit environments  (Windows 95 and Windows NT).  Unamortized costs relating to
   Windows  products  at January 31, 1996 and 1995 are  $723,978  and  $657,053,
   respectively.

   The unamortized  capitalized  software costs relating to the two DOS products
   are being  amortized over the two year remaining life as of January 31, 1996.
   The  unamortized  costs relating to DOS products at January 31, 1996 and 1995
   are $4,878 and $69,791, respectively.

   Amortization  expense  for all  products  at  January  31,  1996 and 1995 was
   $369,548 and $298,150, respectively.

   4. Revenue Recognition

   In accordance with Statement of Position 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition"
   (SOP 91-1), the Company's policy is to recognize license and maintenance fees
   when earned and  consulting  fee income when services are  rendered.  License
   fees are recognized upon shipment of the software while  maintenance fees are
   recorded  over the period  covered by the  related  contract.  Consulting  is
   performed on a time and material basis.

   5. Deferred Compensation

   Deferred  compensation arising from the issuance of stock grants is amortized
   over the term of the  related  grant or  employment  agreements  (one to five
   years). The amount of compensation attributable to stock grants is determined
   by the market price of the Company's stock on the date of the grant.

   6. Income (Loss) Per Share

   Income  (loss) per share is computed  using the  weighted  average  number of
   common shares  outstanding  during the period.  Common stock  equivalents are
   antidilutive  and,  therefore,  are not considered in the computation of loss
   per share.

                            January 31, 1996 and 1995


   7. 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
   reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
   results could differ from thoses estimates.


   8. Income Taxes

   The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
   Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income Taxes," which
   significantly  changes the accounting for deferred income taxes. The standard
   provides  for a liability  approach  under which  deferred  income  taxes are
   provided for based upon enacted tax laws and rates  applicable to the periods
   in which the taxes become  payable.  The Company adopted the new standard for
   its year ended  January  31,  1994.  The  cumulative  effect of the change in
   accounting principles was not significant.

NOTE C - NOTES PAYABLE

   1. Demand Loan

   Multi  Soft has a demand  loan  payable to a  commercial  bank  ($41,099  and
   $53,729  at  January  31,  1996  and  1995   respectively).   Borrowings  are
   collateralized  by Multi Soft's accounts  receivable and bear interest at the
   bank's  prime  rate  plus 2%  (10.75%  and 9% at  January  31,  1996 and 1995
   respectively).  The loan is  currently  in  default.  Multi  Soft  obtained a
   forbearance  from the bank in November 1993 requiring a $20,000  payment upon
   execution, monthly payments of $1,500 principal and interest and the personal
   guarantee of the Company's  chairman.  As of January 31, 1996, the Company is
   in compliance with the terms of the forbearance agreement.

   During  1996 and 1995,  the  maximum  amount of  borrowings  outstanding  was
   $53,279 and $61,415,  respectively,  the average  borrowing  were $47,819 and
   $58,000, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates were 11.0% and
   9.5%, respectively.

   2. Convertible Promissory Notes

   In June 1993,  the  Company  conducted  a private  placement  of  $260,000 in
   convertible promissory notes. In September 1994 the notes were converted into
   936,450 shares of Multi Soft's common stock.

NOTE D - INCOME TAXES

   As a  result  of  losses  incurred  in  recent  years,  the  Company  and its
   subsidiary  separately  have net operating  loss  carryforwards  available to
   offset future federal taxable income of  approximately  $5.5 million and $5.6
   million respectively. These losses expire at various dates through 2011.

   The Company adopted,  effective  February 1, 1993, SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting
   for Income  Taxes."  Under the  liability  method  specified by SFAS No. 109,
   deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are determined  based on the difference


                                       F9

                      Multi Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            January 31, 1996 and 1995


   between the financial  statement and tax basis of assets and  liabilities are
   determined  based on the difference  between the financial  statement and tax
   basis of assets and  liabilities  as  measured by the enacted tax rates which
   will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the
   result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The principal types
   of differences between assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax
   return  purposes  are  capitalized  software   development  costs,   deferred
   compensation, deferred revenues and allowance for uncollectible accounts.

   The  deferred  method,  used in years prior to 1993,  required the Company to
   provide for deferred tax expense based on certain items of income and expense
   which were reported in different  years in the financial  statements  and the
   tax returns as measured by the tax rate in effect for the year the difference
   occurred.

   Deferred tax  (liabilities)  assets  consist of the  following at January 31,
   1996 and 1995:

                                                     1996              1995

                            January 31, 1996 and 1995


   In March  1994,  Multi  Soft  issued  an  additional  104,500  shares  to the
   Company's investors at $.03 per share and an additional 254,500 shares to the
   Company for $.03 per share.

   In  September  1994,  Multi Soft issued  936,450  shares at $.30 per share to
   convert  the  Company's  investors'   promissory  notes,   including  accrued
   interest.  Multi Soft also sold 283,334 shares of its restricted common stock
   to the Company at $.21 per share.

   4.  Common Stock Issued to Officers

   In July 1994,  the Company issued 549,700 shares of common stock (at the rate
   of $.18  per  share)  to the  Chairman  in lieu of  accrued  compensation  of
   $98,946.

   In January 1996,  Multi Soft issued  1,500,000  shares of its common stock to
   the Company.  The  transaction  was valued at $.22 per share  ($330,000)  for
   which Multi Solutions was to issue a note.

   In connection with this  transaction,  Multi Soft paid for the acquisition of
   1,000,000 each of the Company's  common shares (valued at $0.08 per share) to
   the chairman and vice president by allowing the  indebtedness  of the Company
   to Multi Soft to be reduced by  $160,000  which  thereby  reduced the debt of
   Multi Soft to the two officers by the same amount.

   After  completion of this series of  transactions,  the net debt due to Multi
   Soft in connection with the common stock sale was reduced to $170,000.

NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   1.  Leases

   annual  compensation  of $182,000  through July 1996. Upon execution of these
   agreements,  an aggregate of 91,667  shares of Multi Soft's  common stock was
   issued to the employees.

   In addition,  the employment  agreements  entitle the two employees to 2% and
   1.5%, respectively, of each fiscal year's after tax profits of Multi Soft.

   3. Payroll Taxes

   As of January 31, 1994, Multi Soft had not remitted payroll taxes,  interest,

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            January 31, 1996 and 1995


   On October 8, 1993, the Company entered into a Software  Licensing  Agreement
   (SLA) and other ancillary agreements with IBM Corporation (IBM) providing for
   certain  exclusive  marketing  rights for the  Company's  principal  product:
   Windows  Communications  Library  (WCL)  with IBM IMS  Extensions.  This is a
   software product specifically modified for use with IBM mainframe systems.

   The agreements,  effective for a term of seven years with automatic  renewals
   for two  additional  one year periods,  provide for the payment of percentage
   royalties and unit royalties as specified in the agreement. IBM may terminate
   the agreement after the first year upon 90 days notice. The agreement further
   provides  for  minimum   non-refundable   royalty  advances  to  the  Company
   aggregating $300,000 through June 1995.

   The agreements  create certain  obligations by the Company,  including future
   maintenance,  staffing,  response and software  source code  custody.  Future
   enhancements  may be provided by the Company for additional  fees. As of July
   1995 Multi Soft has been receiving monthly maintenance from IBM regarding the
   above license agreement.

   The $300,000  royalty advance has been recorded as deferred revenue in fiscal
   year 1994 and is being recognized as income over the longer of:

     o    The 21 month period of maintenance  included in the agreement  without
          additional fees; or

     o    The period in which the royalty is earned through IBM sales throughout
          the seven year term of the agreement.

   Effective  June 1, 1995 Multi Soft and IBM  amended  their  Software  License
   Agreement number:  STL93199 and its related worldwide  marketing  agreements,
   such that,  $150,000  dollars of the $300,000  advance amount  deferred as of
   January  31,  1994  shall,  as of June 1, 1995 no longer be subject to offset
   against royalties accrued.  The net effect will remove $150,000 from deferred
   revenues and increase license fee revenues by $150,000.

   For the years ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, Muli Soft recognized as income
   $192,864 and $56,249 of the $300,000 advance respectively.

   The contract with IBM's Network  Software  Division  provides that Multi Soft
   will receive prepaid  royalties of $600,000 in quarterly  installments over a
   two year period. As a result, IBM receives non exclusive and non transferable
   license to market certain Multi Soft products.  The product is marketed under
   IBM's logo as "Personal Communications Toolkit for Visual Basic."
