ITEM 2.	ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On October 1, 1996, PREMIS Corporation (the "Company") completed the acquisition
of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of REF Retail Systems 
Corporation ("REF"), a closely-held corporation organized under the laws of 
Ontario, Canada, from the several shareholders of REF.

The purchase price for the acquisition was paid in cash in the amount of 
$6,500,000 on the date of closing.  The purchase price was determined by 
negotiation based upon various factors, including, principally, management's 
assessment that the REF products, which are complementary to the Company's 
products, offer significant growth opportunities.  The payment of the purchase
price was not financed by any third party but was paid from funds of the Company
obtained through a public offering of its Common Stock.

The Company and REF both engage in businesses involving the development and 
marketing of computer software which, in overview, provide multi-store retailers
and food brokers with an integrated system for:

  point of sale data collection and management review of transactions

  "real time" sales analysis reporting by store, product, customer, salesperson

  individual store stock positions and enterprise inventory tracking

  purchasing, order tracking and warehouse control

  accounts receivable management and commission receivable accounting

  sales promotion fund management and advertising budget accounting

  electronic data interface for on-line ordering from vendors and customers

  intranet communications connections between stores and main corporate office

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
REF Retail Systems Corporation
 
    In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of REF Retail
Systems Corporation and its subsidiary at March 31, 1995 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
    REF Retail Systems Corporation (the "Company") is a Canadian business that
develops and markets point-of-sale application software to the retail
distribution marketplace. In August, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the
outstanding common shares of Softworks Group, Inc. ("Softworks"). The operations
of Softworks have been incorporated into the Company on the date of acquisition.
 
NOTE 2 -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in Canadian
treasuries with an original maturity of three months or less. Investments are
valued at cost, which approximates market.
 
    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and are
presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.
 
    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts are
eliminated in consolidation.
 
    INVENTORY
 
    Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Inventory consists primarily of software licenses held for resale. No reserves
have been provided, since historical writedowns have been insignificant.
 
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated for financial
statement purposes on a declining-balance basis over the estimated useful lives
of the assets, which is three to five years for furniture and equipment.
 
    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of computer
software to be marketed are expensed as research and development costs in the
period incurred. Costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological
feasibility and before the software is released to the general public are
capitalized as software development costs. Such costs are amortized to cost of
revenues at the greater of straight-line amortization over three years or the
proportion of the current period's product revenues to total expected product
revenues. Recording of amortization of software development cost began in May,
1996 when certain modules of the software were released to the general public.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenues derived from system installation contracts are recognized over the
period the Company satisfies its obligations using the percentage-of-completion
method. Progress on the contracts is measured by the percentage of cost incurred
to date to the total estimated cost for each contract. Management considers cost
to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Changes in
conditions and estimated earnings may result in revisions of estimated costs and
earnings during the course of the contract and are reflected in the accounting
period in which the facts which require the revision become known. In the normal
course of business, the Company may also be subject to a risk of loss by
incurring costs to complete a contract in excess of the fixed bid price.
 
    Customers are provided with a warranty which provides customer support for a
90-day period. No reserve has been provided, since warranty costs have been
insignificant. After the 90-day warranty period, support is provided only if a
maintenance contract is in place. Revenues derived from system maintenance
contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the contract period.

NOTE 2 -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method of
accounting. Deferred tax assets are determined based on the difference between
the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently
enacted tax rates.
 
    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
short-term trade receivables and payables for which current carrying amounts
approximate fair market value. Additionally, interest rates on outstanding debt
are at rates which approximate market rates for debt with similar terms and
average maturities.
 
    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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE
 
    For the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company made cash payments
for interest of $3,026 and $5,475, respectively.
 
    UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    In the opinion of management, REF Retail Systems Corporation has made all
adjustments consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 1996
and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, as presented in the accompanying unaudited financial

REF ACQUISITION ADJUSTMENTS
 
(a) Adjustment to reflect the decrease in salary, benefits and auto expenses for
    an officer of REF Retail Systems Corporation (REF) whose employment
    terminates with the acquisition by PREMIS Corporation (PREMIS) and the
    income tax effect of this adjustment.
 
(b) The purchase price of REF exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired. As
    a result, PREMIS will record goodwill of approximately $4.9 million with
    annual amortization of $494,566. The Company amortizes goodwill over a
    period of 10 years. The recoverability of the unamortized goodwill will be
    assessed on an ongoing basis by comparing anticipated undiscounted future
    cash flows from operations to net book value.
 
(c) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of REF shareholder equity and REF
    retained earnings.
 
(d) Adjusted to reflect net offering proceeds of $6,500,000 needed to fund the
    acquisition of REF through the issuance of 1,486,928 common shares based on
    a public offering price of $5.00 per share ($4.37 per share net of offering
    costs). The weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding
    have been adjusted to reflect the number of shares issued in the offering to
    provide cash to be paid in connection with the acquisition of REF.
 
(e) Adjustment to give effect to the sale of 1,750,000 shares offered hereby at
    a public offering price of $5.00 per share ($4.37 per share net of offering
    costs) and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, including the
    purchase of REF's stock.
