Report of Independent Accountants

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Connect Computer Company:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Connect Computer Company as
of December  31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our 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 opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Connect Computer Company as of
December  31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

CONNECT COMPUTER COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     BUSINESS DESCRIPTION:

     Connect Computer Company (the Company) provides support, technical
     consulting, training and development services for personal computer
     communications and local area networking technologies primarily to
     customers in the midwestern region of the United States.  The Company also
     markets certain related hardware and software products.

     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.  Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.  The most significant area which requires the use of management
     estimates relates to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.

     INVENTORIES:

     Inventories, primarily consisting of finished goods, are valued at the
     lower of cost or market with cost determined using a method which
     approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

     FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT:


     Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed
     using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives
     of the assets.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
     Expenditures that result in enhancement of asset value are capitalized.
     Upon retirement or other disposition of furniture or equipment, the
     applicable cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
     and any gain or loss on disposition is included in current operations.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION:

     Service contracts:  Revenue from service contracts and related expenses,
     such as commissions, are deferred and recognized ratably over related
     contract periods commensurate with the  performance of services.

     Training fees:  Revenues from fees charged to customers for training are
     recognized during the period the customers attend the training.

     Product revenues:  Revenues from product sales are generally recognized
     when the related hardware or software products are shipped.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

     INCOME TAXES:

     Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
     years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
     their financial reporting amounts at each year end based on enacted tax
     laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which differences
     are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are
     established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
     expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the tax currently payable
     for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
     liabilities.

4.   LEASE COMMITMENTS:

     CAPITAL LEASES:

     The Company leases certain furniture and equipment under capital lease
     agreements.  Monthly lease payments are due through November 2000 with
     interest at rates ranging from 5% to 14.25%.  The original cost of
     equipment under capital leases was $977,181 and $158,555, net of
     accumulated amortization of $234,000 and $86,000 at December  31, 1995 and
     1994, respectively.

     OPERATING LEASES:

     The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under operating
     lease agreements which expire at various dates through March 1999.  The
     facilities leases require the Company to pay a pro rata share of the
     lessor's operating costs.  Rent expense, including a pro rata share of the
     lessor's facilities operating costs, was approximately $596,828 and
     $482,000 for the years ended December  31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Future minimum lease payments under noncancellable capital and operating
     lease agreements are as follows:

5.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

     COMMON STOCK:

     In 1994, the Company's Board of Director and stockholders amended the
     Articles of Incorporation of the Company, increasing the authorized $.01
     par value common stock to 100,000,000 shares, and declared a stock dividend
     of 30 common shares for each share of common stock outstanding.  The Board
     also approved a proportionate adjustment of outstanding stock options.
     This action was reflected in these financial statements as a stock split
     effected in the form of a dividend.

     On August  1, 1993, the Company granted an employee options to purchase
     173,730 shares of common stock at $.12 per share, the estimated fair market
     value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant (as determined by
     the Board of Directors).  The options, which expire if not exercised by
     August  1, 2003, vest 33% after the first year and 33% annually thereafter.

     1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN:


     In May 1994, the Company's stockholders approved an incentive stock option
     plan (the Plan) under which 1,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved
     for grants of incentive and nonqualified stock options to directors,
     officers and employees at exercise prices not less than 100% of the fair
     market value, as determined by the Board of Directors, on the date of grant
     (110% in the case of a 10% or greater stockholder).  All options granted
     under the Plan become exercisable over periods established at the time of
     grant, however, certain options may vest earlier if certain financial
     performance benchmarks are achieved by the Company.

     A summary of selected information regarding the 1994 Stock Option Plan
     activity for the years ended December  31, 1995 and 1994 is as follows:

5.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED:

     ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards, "Accounting for Stock Based
     Compensation" (SFAS No.  123).  As permitted by SFAS No.  123, the Company
     will adopt the new standard in 1996.  Management has not selected from the
     implementation alternatives and therefore has not determined the impact, if
     any, this standard will have on the Company's 1996 financial position or
     results of operations.

6.   INCOME TAXES:

     The components of the income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended
     December  31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

                                                 1995               1994

     Current:
       Federal                                 $412,000           $168,000
       State                                    127,000             56,000
     Deferred:
       Federal                                  (19,000)           (33,000)
       State                                     (6,000)           (11,000)
                                              ----------         ----------

                                              $ 514,000          $ 180,000
                                              ----------         ----------
                                              ----------         ----------

The effective rates for income taxes for the years ended December  31, 1995 and
1994, differ from the statutory federal corporate income tax rate principally
due to state income taxes, net of the federal income tax benefit.

The net deferred income tax assets of approximately $87,000 and $62,000, as of
December  31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, resulted primarily from future
taxable temporary differences related to the difference in the book and tax
bases of property, plant and equipment, and future deductible temporary
differences related to rent and deferred compensation recognized for financial
reporting purposes that is not recognized for tax reporting purposes, allowances
for bad debts and inventory obsolescence reserves established for financial
reporting purposes, and certain inventory costs capitalized for tax reporting
purposes.

Management expects that the Company will fully realize the benefits attributable
to these future deductible temporary differences.  Therefore, no valuation
allowance has been recorded at December  31, 1995 or 1994, related to the
deferred tax asset.

7.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     The Company offers a defined contribution savings plan to all of its
     employees.  Participants may contribute up to 15% of their compensation per
     year.  At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company may match
     up to a maximum of 10% of the first 10% of each participant's
     contributions.  Company contributions to the plan were $20,824 and $19,096
     for the years ended December  31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The Company also offers a nonqualified, deferred compensation plan to
     certain employees.  Participants may elect to defer and contribute a
     portion of their annual compensation to the plan.  The Company may, at its
     sole discretion, elect to make an annual contribution to each participant's
     deferred compensation account.  Contributions to the plan accrue interest
     at rates defined by the plan.  Upon attainment of age 65 or upon a
     participant's death, the participant or their beneficiary shall receive
     monthly payments from the plan totaling contributions to the participant's
     account plus accrued interest.

     During 1995 and 1994, the Company contributed $40,000 and $19,500 to the
     deferred compensation plan, respectively.  The Company has purchased
     investments in certain mutual funds to fund these Company contributions.
     As of December  31, 1995, these investments, which include debt and equity
     securities and are considered by management to be "available for sale," are
     carried at cost which approximates fair value based upon quoted market
     prices.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     On March  1, 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell all of the
     issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company for $14,000,000,
     including cash and stock of the acquiring company, plus contingent cash
     consideration of up to $4,000,000, dependent on the Company's future
     performance.  The letter of intent, which expires on April  30, 1996, may
     be terminated at any time by the mutual agreement of the potential buyer
     and the Company's stockholders, and provides that the proposed structure
     may be adjusted.

           PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following pro forma unaudited consolidated financial information consists 
of Pro Forma Unaudited Statements of Operations for the year ended April 30, 
1995 and for the nine months ended January 27, 1996 and a Pro Forma Unaudited 
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 27, 1996.  The Unaudited Pro Forma 
Consolidated Financial Statements give effect to the proposed acquisition of 
CCC.  The Pro Forma Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations give 
effect to such transaction (the Transaction) as if it had occurred on May 1, 
1994.  The Pro Forma Unaudited Consolidated Balance sheet gives effect to the 
Transaction as if it had occurred on January 27, 1996.

On May 24, 1996, Norstan executed an agreement pursuant to which it would 
acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Connect, in exchange 
for $8.2 million in cash and $2 million of Norstan common stock, to be valued 
at the average closing price for Norstan common stock during the twenty days 
ending on May 28, 1996 at the date the Transaction is consummated. The 
agreement also contains a provision whereby Connect shareholders can receive 
up to $4 million in contingent consideration over a three year period ending 
April 30, 1999, if certain operating income levels are achieved.  Norstan has 
also agreed to pay $2.7 million in exchange for all outstanding Connect stock 
options, and $1.1 million in bonuses to Connect management and employees.  
Further, Norstan will pay $1 million to certain members of Connect management 
under non-compete agreements.  The Pro Forma Unaudited Consolidated Financial 
Statements give effect to certain adjustments related to the acquisition, 
including (i) Norstan's issuance of long-term debt and the related interest 
expense; (ii) the issuance of 68,879 shares of Norstan common stock; (iii) 
goodwill created by the acquisition and related amortization; (iv) the 
recording of payments for non-compete agreements and bonuses, and for 
cancellation of stock options, as described above; and (v) adjustments to 
eliminate amounts attributable to a division of Connect that will be sold to 
its majority shareholder prior to the acquisition.

The Pro Forma Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying 
notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial 
statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in this information 
statement.  The Pro Forma Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not 
purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of 
Norstan would actually have been if the aforementioned Transaction in fact 
had occurred on May 1, 1994 or on January 27, 1996 or at any future date.
