ITEM 1. BUSINESS

                                   THE COMPANY

MAI Systems Corporation provides total information technology solutions
primarily to the hospitality, resort and destination industry and to mid-sized
process manufacturers. The solutions provided by the Company typically include
applications software, computer hardware, peripherals and wide and local area
network design, implementation, installation and support. The software
applications are generally the Company's proprietary software, or software which
is licensed to the Company on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis. The hardware,
peripherals and networking systems are generally third-party products which the
Company distributes. Directly and through its arrangement with third parties,
the Company provides on-site and off-site service and support to users of its
network and systems hardware.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on
September 6, 1984. The Company's name was changed from MAI Basic Four, Inc. to
MAI Systems Corporation on November 6, 1990. As used herein, the terms the
"Company" and "MAI" include MAI Systems Corporation and its subsidiaries unless
the context indicates otherwise. The Company commenced operations on January 29,
1985.

                           DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

MAI's mission is to put in place long-term information technology partnerships
with its customers by designing, installing and supporting customer-specific
total information management solutions. Focusing primarily on the hotel, motel
and resort destinations industry and solutions for mid-sized process
manufacturers, it designs, sells, installs and supports information management
solutions featuring complex wide area networks ("WANs") and local area networks
("LANs"). It provides a wide array of products and services to its installed
base of approximately 6,000 customers and continues to make direct sales of
certain products and services which enhance, upgrade and extend the useful life
of the Company's legacy systems.

MAI markets its products and services primarily through a team selling approach,
which utilizes the Company's nationwide network of sales offices. The Company
also markets certain products and services through a limited number of
distributors, independent value-added resellers ("VARs"), authorized service
representatives and independent software vendors ("ISVs").

The Company's activities are conducted principally in the United States, Canada,
the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mexico. The Company also operates
subsidiaries in Puerto Rico and Venezuela and operates offices in the People's
Republic of China and Malaysia. Additionally, the Company sells its products
through indirect channels in the United States and abroad. These independent
channels include VARs, distributors, ISVs and local sales agents.

The Company provides software support services (both procedural and technical
support) to its hospitality, process manufacturing and gaming systems customers
from its offices in the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore. In some
countries the Company relies on certain foreign distributors of its products to
provide software support services to customers located within the distributors'
regions.

The Company provides on-site service and help support desk services to its
legacy system customers in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
In the United States and Canada, the Company and its third-party subcontractors
provide on-site services to the Company's new and legacy system customers.

Products and Services

MAI designs, implements, maintains and supports total information system
solutions utilizing WANs and LANs. In conjunction with these solutions, the
Company's approach is to analyze a customer's information system requirements,
propose a solution and then design, integrate, install and maintain the system.
One of the principal objectives of the Company is to help its customers utilize
their data across their entire enterprise so that information that was once
limited to one area of a business can now be available to other areas where it
can be utilized for new purposes. Once a system is on-line, the Company
typically continues its relationship with the customer by providing
around-the-clock telephonic support and, through its contracts with Olivetti,
on-site field support. The systems designed by the Company utilize the Company's
property management system for hotels, resorts and destinations and enterprise
resource planning ("ERP") applications software for midsize process
manufacturers, which the Company markets with industry-standard hardware and
software products from leading technology vendors including Cisco Systems,
Compaq Computer, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Data General, Larscom, Microsoft and
Novell.

Hospitality - 53.7%

The Company markets three property management systems. Hotel CompuSystem II has
been marketed by the Company since 1990, when the Company acquired Computerized
Lodging Systems ("CLS"). In August 1996 the Company acquired Hotel Information
Systems, Inc. ("HIS") and began marketing its Paragon product line. In October
1996, the Company became the exclusive distributor of the Lodging Touch
International products from Enterprise Hospitality Solutions. Each of the
product lines has features which make it particularly well-suited to a different
segment of the hospitality marketplace.

Hotel CompuSystem II, which targets hotels and resorts in the 300 to 1,000 room
range, runs under UNIX. Hotel CompuSystem II is full-featured and provides
customers with front desk, night audit, housekeeping and numerous other
functions. Additionally, the CLS products interface to more than 250 other
hospitality-related information system products, such as point-of-sale systems,
telephone call monitoring systems and minibar maintenance systems. The ease of
connectivity with third-party products is one of the system's competitive
advantages. Hotel CompuSystem II is installed in over 1,500 sites worldwide.

The Paragon property management system, from HIS, is designed to serve the needs
of larger hotels and resorts. Running on IBM AS/400 or System 36 minicomputers,
the Paragon product line provides the full range of features and functionality
required by premier properties, such as Disneyland Paris or Renaissance Hotels
International. Paragon is installed in more than 1,000 hotels and resorts around
the world, and is a major presence in the Pacific Rim.

The Lodging Touch International ("LTI") products comprise a state-of-the-art
suite of products designed to take full advantage of the versatility of
Microsoft's Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems. They are the industry's
first fully graphical products to fully utilize the features of the Windows NT
operating system and Microsoft Sequel Server. With the LTI products, MAI has
been named a Microsoft Solutions Partner.

Process Manufacturing - 13.9%

MAI develops and markets MANBASE and CIMPRO, both of which are ERP applications,
used by midsize process manufacturers. The Company's typical customer generally
has annual revenues between $20 million and $500 million. These manufacturers
convert raw materials into finished goods or into products used to manufacture
other goods. Typical users of the Company's ERP product would be manufacturers
who convert raw milk into cheese and other dairy products, or pharmaceutical
manufacturers who convert raw chemicals into medicinal products. These process
manufacturers have unique requirements in quality control, regulatory
compliance, inventory control and production planning that require an integrated
application and system solution.

CIMPRO, which the Company acquired from Datalogix International, Inc., a
subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, in March 1997, offers a fully integrated
modular system for complete support of process manufacturing planning and
tracking, including inventory, production, supply chain management, costing,
accounting, electronic data interchange ("EDI") and regulatory compliance.
CIMPRO's customer base is primarily food, chemical and pharmaceutical
manufacturers.


                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

MANBASE, the rights to which the Company reacquired in May 1996, also offers a
fully integrated ERP application for process manufacturers. MANBASE has been
sold primarily to food manufacturers and has many features which are tailored
for the unique requirements of this industry.

The Company intends to provide continuing support for its MANBASE customers but
will concentrate its sales efforts on the CIMPRO product.

Gaming - 4.3%

The Company markets the Gaming Systems International ("GSI") products for the
gaming industry. GSI's on-line slot accounting and player tracking product is
comprised of a proprietary circuit board which is installed inside electronic
slot machines, and database software which gathers and maintains data collected
by the circuit boards. The Company utilizes Novell-based LANs to link the slot
machines. The GSI system monitors the activity in the individual gaming machines
in real time, providing information on the activity of each machine, the amount
of money in the machine, whether or not the machine is operating properly and
alerting the casino management if the machine has been tampered with. The
software modules include stand-alone player tracking, cage/pit management, table
games accounting, slot maintenance, employee time and attendance, and numerous
other functions.

Legacy - 27.6%

The Company continues to provide principally maintenance services to its
installed base of customers. These products and services are designed to enable
customers to benefit from their investment in the Company's host-based
information systems. The Company's OpenBASIC application environment permits
customers using application software written in the Business BASIC programming
language to continue to use such application software on selected hardware
platforms designed for the UNIX, MS-DOS and Novell environments. Optional
OpenBASIC modules permit developers to enhance their Business BASIC applications
by integrating them with popular UNIX and MS-DOS/Microsoft Windows software.

With its own personnel and through an outsource agreement with Olivetti North
America, Inc. in the United States and with Olivetti Canada Ltd. in Canada, and
directly in Venezuela and Puerto Rico, the Company offers on-site repair and
warranty service and around-the-clock telephonic support to its customers. The
Company also provides a range of customer education, training and consulting
services for its application software packages and hardware and horizontal
software products. These services are offered to the Company's customers as part
of the Company's strategy of supplying the total information solution to its
customers.

Other - 0.5%

During 1997, the Company closed down a business it had entered in 1996, in which
the Company provided customers outside its core markets with integration and
implementation services. These customers utilized the Company's professional
services, consulting, network and system products and/or partner products, to
re-host their legacy application to modern client/server technology. These
customers did not use the Company's hospitality or process manufacturing
applications, but had an in-house or third party application. The Company no
longer conducts that business, but it continues to have revenue from contracts
which commenced in 1996 and 1997.

MARKETING AND SALES

MAI markets its products and services primarily through a team-selling approach,
which utilizes the Company's nationwide network of sales offices and its Irvine,
California-based account representatives. The Company also markets certain
products and services through limited numbers of VARs, authorized service
representatives and ISVs.

In the United States, the Company's systems are marketed by a direct sales and
marketing organization which included, as of February 28, 1999, 38 sales and
marketing personnel located in the corporate headquarters and five satellite
offices. In addition, the Company markets its systems internationally through
its subsidiaries which operate in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Puerto Rico and Venezuela and through various distributors that are
exclusive in their jurisdictions. The Company's international subsidiaries
employed, as of February 28, 1999, 25 sales and marketing personnel who are
engaged in the marketing of MAI products from sales offices in Canada, Mexico,
the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the
People's Republic of China and Venezuela.


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

Additionally, the Company also sells its products through indirect channels both
within and outside the United States. These indirect channels include VARs,
distributors, ISVs and local sales agents.

During 1998, the Company's aggregate revenue was derived from geographic areas
as follows:

          Canada                                   6.2%
          Other Areas                              3.3%

                            Total                100.0%
                                                 =====
</TABLE>

The financial performance of the Company is affected by the fluctuation in value
of the US dollar in relation to the local currencies of the countries in which
the Company does business. In addition, the Company's foreign operations are
subject to the usual risks that may affect such operations, including possible
expropriation or other governmental actions, taxes and political changes.
However, as only 19.9% of the Company's 1998 revenues were generated outside the
United States, even though most of this activity is in Asia which has recently
incurred significant economic and currency disruptions, the risk associated with
these foreign operations in relation to the Company's overall financial
performance is limited.

SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

The provision of around-the-clock customer service is a cornerstone of the
Company's business. As of February 28, 1999, the Company had software support
agreements with approximately 1,900 customers. Additionally, it had hardware
maintenance agreements with approximately 2,700 other customers. The Company
employs approximately 63 technicians to provide support for the Company's
applications software products.

Telephonic support, which is primarily to assist licensees of the Company's
applications products, is provided from the Company's response centers located
in Irvine, California, Dallas, Texas, Tarrytown, New York, Singapore and the
United Kingdom. The Company utilizes the latest developments in telephony and
artificial intelligence-enhanced technology to enable its support technicians to
quickly identify and resolve customers' software related computing problems.

The Company's maintenance services are generally provided pursuant to individual
maintenance contracts with customers, although time and material services are
provided in some areas. Such support and maintenance are of varying duration,
provide annual cancellation rights and require advance payment of fees to the
Company. Substantially all of the revenue earned by maintenance operations is
invoiced to customers in advance.

PRODUCTION AND PROCUREMENT

In response to market demand for standardized hardware and software products,
all of the Company's current systems offerings utilize open systems
architecture, which means that they will operate on a wide variety of
third-party hardware equipment. At present, the Company has relationships with a
number of suppliers including Cisco Systems, Compaq Computer, Data General,
Hewlett Packard and IBM and distributors such as MicroAge and Ingram Micro.
Management believes that these relationships have enabled the Company to reduce
product costs, permit earlier availability of new technology and offer customers
products with superior performance at competitive prices. The Company no longer
manufactures proprietary hardware products.

Delay or failure in the delivery of products or components purchased from third
parties could adversely affect shipments by the Company and its ability to
conclude sales. The Company has purchased many products and components from
single sources of supply. Because the Company's current products are industry
standard, or are comprised of industry-standard components, management believes
that alternative sources of supply of similar products would be available to the
Company in the event of any interruption of delivery of a single source
supplier.


                                      -5-

ORDER, SHIPMENT AND BACKLOG

The Company records and enters into backlog a purchase order for equipment and
software when it receives a customer's written order requesting delivery within
six months, and systems configuration and contract provisions are verified.
Orders that are canceled by the customer and orders that are not shipped within
one year are removed from backlog. Orders that are removed from backlog for
non-shipment are restored if they are reinstated by the customer.

Set forth below is certain information concerning orders, shipments and backlog
for 1997 and 1998:

</TABLE>

The Company's backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenues. In the
second half of 1997, the Company began directing a large portion of the hardware
component of its systems sales to its strategic partners.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company's research and development activities are focused on the development
of products for the hospitality, resort and destination industry and for
products for midsize process manufacturers. The Company also maintains and
expands OpenBASIC, an operating system which enables users of the Company's
proprietary environment, BusinessBASIC, to run their applications under UNIX.
The Company's use of the OpenBASIC application environment and its system
integration capability permits it to have substantial independence from
individual hardware manufacturers and minimizes the need for hardware research
and development.

As of February 28, 1999, the Company employed 31 engineers, programmers and
other technical personnel in research and development activities. During 1996,
1997 and 1998, the Company incurred $3,117,000, $5,583,000 and $4,058,000
respectively, for research and development activities. The Company's research
and development expenditures related primarily to support and enhancement of
existing software products.

CUSTOMERS

The Company's customers in hospitality are generally hotels and resorts with
fifty or more rooms, in gaming are casinos with electronic gaming equipment such
as slot machines, and in process manufacturing are generally midsize process
manufacturers. Legacy comprises a highly diversified group of customers in
various industries who use hardware sold by MAI over the years. During 1997 and
1998, no single customer accounted for ten percent or more of the Company's
revenues.

COMPETITION

Competition is vigorous in all sectors of the worldwide market for
computer-based applications systems, networked solutions and the maintenance and
support of the software and hardware which comprise those systems. The Company
has numerous competitors (and potential competitors, including the manufacturers
of products which the Company distributes) varying widely in their size,
capabilities, market segment and geographic area, many of which are larger and
have financial resources far greater than the Company.

Within its targeted application markets, the Company has positioned itself to
sell complete solutions featuring WANs and LANs to its customers. Within this
marketplace, competition comes primarily from vendors of competing information
technology in the markets in which the Company competes. There are several
providers of information technology to the hotel, resort and destination
industry against which the Company regularly competes. The primary competitors
are of similar size to the Company, and provide technology that is also similar
to the Company. They also cover essentially the same territory, which is
anywhere in the developed world.


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

The competition in the ERP market is diffuse and new or different competitors
often appear with each sales opportunity. In the lower end of the market, the
Company competes with local VARs and ISVs who usually resell hardware or
networking products of larger equipment manufacturers. These VARs and ISVs
usually sell one or two specialized software application products targeted for
specific industry market segments. Within the mid-range market, the Company
competes with several companies of similar size and technology. On the high end
of the market, the Company competes with companies that are much larger and have
financial resources far greater than the Company.

Within the gaming industry, the Company competes with manufacturers of gaming
equipment. Some of those competitors are substantially larger than the Company.

In the legacy arena, there are some third-party maintenance organizations
("TPMS") who provide service to users of the Company's hardware products. The
competition is minimal, as outside companies cannot provide complete solutions
to the Company's existing proprietary customer base.

TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS AND LICENSES

The Company is the owner or licensee of certain trademarks, copyrights and other
property rights associated with its businesses, including rights associated with
its proprietary application software. The Company owns or has licensing rights,
generally with terms of three years (although the term of the license to the LTI
software is perpetual), to the principal application software products marketed
by the Company. Such licensing rights are generally renewable. Although there is
some risk that independent vendors who own such products may elect not to renew
their licensing agreements with the Company and enter into exclusive
arrangements with, or elect to install their software on systems sold by
competitors of the Company, such vendors generally tend to continue to support
the Company's marketing efforts so long as the Company's systems provide a good
opportunity for them to market their products.

The Company is party to license agreements with IBM relating to a variety of
patents, with Novell, Inc. relating to UNIX and with a number of other suppliers
of software products. These licenses are terminable at the Company's option and
certain of the licenses require the Company to make royalty payments.

OpenBASIC and certain other intellectual property formerly owned by the Company
is currently owned by Triple P Management BV ("Triple P"), a corporation
organized under the laws of the Netherlands, which acquired the rights from
Application Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation controlled by the Company's
former bank lenders (the "Banks"), which held the stock of certain of the
Company's former European subsidiaries, originally acquired by the Banks in
connection with the foreclosure described under "Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Proceedings". MAI retained an exclusive license to use OpenBASIC and other
intellectual property in the western hemisphere and has a nonexclusive license
to use it in certain other parts of the world. The license is perpetual and
royalty-free, but subject to termination under certain conditions.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 28, 1999, the Company had 394 employees, of whom 263 were
employed in the United States, 16 in Canada, 10 in Mexico, 9 in Puerto Rico, 12
in the United Kingdom, 57 in Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore and the People's
Republic of China) and 27 in Venezuela. The Company has not experienced any work
stoppages and considers its relationship with its employees to be good.


                        CHAPTER 11 BANRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

Prior to its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the Company had followed certain
business strategies that eventually led to its defaulting on its and its
Canadian subsidiary's US and Canadian Credit Agreements (the "Credit
Agreements"). Thereafter, shortly before the Company filed for bankruptcy
protection on April 12, 1993, the Company's banks, parties to the Credit
Agreements, foreclosed on all of the outstanding capital stock of certain of the
Company's former European subsidiaries (the "Foreclosure") in satisfaction of
all amounts due under the Credit Agreements, which, at such date amounted to
approximately $84,500,000.


                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

The business strategies of the Company that led to the Foreclosure reflected the
nature of the information technology industry as it existed at that time.
Historically, organizations relied upon proprietary, host-based computing
systems to implement software applications, accounting and financial functions.
The Company, like others in the industry, manufactured and serviced its own
host-based information systems. However, with the declining costs of the
personal computer and developments in the design and implementation of WANs and
LANs, the information technology industry shifted away from centralized,
host-based information systems to a system of workstations or personal computers
sharing data and networked resources over WANs and LANs. This occurred when the
Company had become highly leveraged due to the leveraged acquisition of a
computer maintenance business that the Company had previously owned.

Eventually, the Company and its subsidiary were in default under its Credit
Agreements, which indebtedness matured on November 16, 1992.

EMERGENCE FROM CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

On November 18, 1993, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order confirming the Company's Plan
of Reorganization. The Company had been operating under Chapter 11 protection
since April 12, 1993. The order was not appealed and became final and
non-appealable on November 29, 1993. On January 27, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court
entered an order which fixed January 27, 1994 as the effective date (the
"Effective Date") of the Plan of Reorganization. The summary of the material
features of the Plan of Reorganization, contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993 under the heading "CHAPTER 11
BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS", is included herein by this reference.

The Plan of Reorganization provided for, among other things, (i) the
satisfaction of substantially all of the unsecured (non-priority) indebtedness
of MAI, Brooke Acquisition Corporation and CLS Software, Inc., the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiaries which were parties to the bankruptcy proceeding (all
of which are collectively referred to as the "Debtors"), through the issuance of
the Company's Common Stock and (ii) the cancellation of existing equity
interests in the Debtors. The Plan of Reorganization also provided for the
substantive consolidation and merger of the Debtors and the corresponding
extinguishment of intercompany liabilities and contracts among the Debtors. At
December 31, 1998, the aggregate amount of tax claims had been reduced to
approximately $600,000 and the Company continues to dispute certain tax claims.

The Company commenced distribution of Common Stock to holders of unsecured
claims on April 14, 1994. The Common Stock is issued pursuant to section 1145 of
the Bankruptcy Code, which contains an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Through December 31, 1998, the Company had
distributed 6,755,751 shares of Common Stock to its former creditors and the
Company estimated that an approximate additional 65,000 shares will be issued in
settlement of other creditor claims. The Plan of Reorganization provided holders
of unsecured claims the right to elect a limited cash recovery, and through
December 31, 1998, $74,570 in cash had been distributed pursuant to such
provision.

Under the Plan of Reorganization, there is no recovery for holders of the
Company's $0.01 par value old Common Stock, and all classes of Preferred Stock
outstanding prior to the Effective Date. The interests evidenced by these
securities were extinguished by operation of the Plan of Reorganization on the
Effective Date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the Company filed an
Amended Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to which new shares of Common
Stock were authorized for issuance. Such shares are being issued to holders of
allowed unsecured claims as described above and will also be issued to optionees
under the Company's stock option plans.

                     FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements contained herein. In addition to the factors
set forth herein, there may be other factors, or factors which arise in the
future which may affect the future performance of the Company.

COMPETITION

Competition is vigorous in all sectors of the market for computer-based
solutions and support and maintenance services which the Company offers. The
Company has numerous competitors in each of its business lines, which vary
widely in their size, capabilities, market segments and geographic areas, many
of which are larger and have financial resources far greater than the Company.
Within its markets, competition comes primarily from vendors of competing
information technology in the markets in which it competes. There are several
providers of information technology to the hotel, resort and destination
industry against which the Company regularly competes. The competition in the
ERP market is diffuse and new or different competitors often appear with each
sales opportunity. The Company also competes against local VARs and ISVs, who
usually resell hardware or networking products of larger original equipment
manufacturers, ISOs, which provide service to end users of the Company's
software products, and TPMs, which provide service to users of the Company's
hardware products. Many of the Company's services are also provided by in-house
MIS departments.

There can be no assurance that the Company can effectively compete with any or
all of its competitors in any of its business lines.

PRODUCTION AND PROCUREMENT

The networking products and services implemented, maintained and supported by
the Company utilize hardware and software products from technology vendors.
Accordingly, the Company is and will remain dependent on the demand for products
from such vendors. In addition, delay or failure in the delivery of products or
components purchased from third parties could adversely affect shipments by the
Company and its ability to conclude sales. The Company has purchased many
products and components from single sources of supply. Because the Company's
current products are industry standard, management believes that alternative
sources of supply of similar products would be available to the Company in the
event of any interruption of delivery from a single source supplier. However,
there can be no assurances that any such products will be available or be
accepted by the Company's customers.

LIMITED HISTORY OF PROFITABILITY

Prior to the bankruptcy the Company incurred significant operating losses. The
Company was profitable in 1994 and 1995, but then incurred significant losses in
1996 and 1997, and a smaller loss in 1998. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability or avoid losses on a
quarterly or annual basis in the future.

FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS

A variety of factors may cause period-to-period fluctuations in the Company's
operating results, including the timing of significant orders, the timing of
product enhancements and new product introductions by the Company, its
technology vendors and its competitors, the pricing of the Company's products
and services, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. Many of
the Company's systems sales involve lengthy sales cycles and installations.
Consequently, it is not possible to predict with any reliability the periods
within which a sale may close or revenue will be recognized. As a result, the
operating results of the Company may be materially skewed if a single
transaction is completed earlier or later than expected. The Company has
experienced fluctuations in its operating results and expects to continue to
experience such fluctuations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Fluctuations in operating
results may also result in volatility in the market price of the Common Stock.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

LIQUIDITY: VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

Historically, trading volume of the Company's Common Stock has been small, and
the market for the Common Stock has been less liquid than that of many other
publicly traded companies. In August 1995 the Company's Common Stock became
listed on the AMEX under the symbol "NOW". Nevertheless, there can be no
assurance that a stockholder who desires to sell shares of Common Stock can sell
all of the shares that the stockholder desires to sell, either at all or at the
desired times or prices. Like the stock of other technology companies, the
market price of the Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile.
Factors such as quarterly fluctuations in the Company's results of operations,
trading volume, the announcement of technological innovations or new products by
the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the computer hardware and
software industries, economic conditions generally, variances between actual
results of operations and the results expected by securities analysts, and the
factors mentioned under "Fluctuations in Operation Results", among other
factors, may have significant impact on the market price of the Common Stock.

RISKS OF CONTRACT SERVICES BUSINESS

The Company is subject to the risks associated with a contract services
business, including dependence on reputation with existing customers, volatility
of workload and dependence on ability to retain qualified technical personnel.
The Company is party to an agreement with Olivetti pursuant to which Olivetti
performs certain field engineering services for the Company. If the quality of
services provided by Olivetti is not perceived as comparable to that previously
provided by the Company, there is a probability that some of the Company's field
service customers will terminate their service agreements.

RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; DEPENDENCE ON NEW PRODUCTS AND MARKETS

The Company expects that the market for hospitality, resort and destination
information management systems and information systems for midsize process
manufacturers will continue to be subject to frequent and rapid changes in
technology and customer preferences. Customers may delay purchases in
anticipation of technological changes. In addition, the Company's ability to
develop and market information management and network systems and other new
products is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain qualified
employees. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or respond adequately to the
changes in technology and customer preferences, or to develop and introduce new
products in a timely fashion, could materially adversely affect the Company's
business and operating results.

DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

The Company's success is dependent upon its proprietary application software and
its licensing rights to the principal application software products marketed by
it. The Company relies on a combination of contractual rights, copyrights,
trademarks and other property rights to establish or protect its proprietary
rights in its products. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the
Company in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its
proprietary rights or independent third party development of functionally
equivalent technology. Although the Company does not believe that it is
infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no
assurance that such a claim will not be asserted against the Company in the
future or that any attempt to protect its technology will not be challenged.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

Competition for qualified personnel in the software industry is intense and
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain a
sufficient number of qualified employees. As the business of the Company grows,
it may become increasingly difficult for it to hire, train and assimilate the
new employees needed. The Company's success depends to a significant degree upon
the continued contributions of its key management, marketing, product
development and operational personnel.

The services of Richard S. Ressler, Chairman of the Board and Director of the
Company, are provided on a non-exclusive basis pursuant to an agreement which
expires in August 1999. There can be no assurances that Mr. Ressler will
continue with the Company after such date or that the Company will be able to
find a replacement in the event that either the Company or Mr. Ressler
determines not to continue their relationship.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

RISK OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The financial performance of the Company is affected by the fluctuation in the
value of the US dollar in relation to the local currencies of the countries in
which the Company does business. In addition, the Company's foreign operations
are subject to the usual risks that may affect such operations, including import
and export restrictions, possible expropriation or other governmental actions,
taxes and political changes.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE RISKS

The Year 2000 compliance issue arises from the fact that a significant
percentage of the software utilized by United States businesses relies on
two-digit date codes to perform computations and decision-making functions.
Commencing on January 1, 2000, these computer programs may fail from an
inability to interpret date codes properly, misinterpreting "00" as the year
1900 rather than 2000. The Company has completed an evaluation of both its
information technology systems and its non-technology systems, such as equipment
containing microprocessors. The Company believes that all information technology
and non-technology systems in its corporate home office in Irvine, California
and in its branch or subsidiary offices in the United States and internationally
have been, or by March 31, 1999 will have been, modified to address Year 2000
issues. The Company estimates that the costs associated with implementing its
Year 2000 compliance plan for its corporate offices to be approximately $50,000.

The Company has designed and tested the most current versions of its products to
be Year 2000 ready. The Company has established a Year 2000 "task force" which
prepared and released its Year 2000 products readiness report on the Company's
"Web Pages" (www.maisystems.com and www.hotelinfosys.com) and plans to make
available to clients a copy of this report on a per request basis. The Company
launched a direct mail/fax campaign in February 1999 to all of its current
maintenance agreement clients as well as to all identifiable clients that may be
utilizing the Company's products, informing clients that the "Year 2000
Readiness Program" was available to be viewed at the indicated websites. The
mailing also provided clients the opportunity to request information regarding
the "Year 2000 Readiness Program" if they so desired. This mailing was executed
using the most current client database available. This notification went to
approximately 18,000 domestic customers as well as being faxed to approximately
4,000 international customers from the Company's international offices.

The report breaks down the Company's products into four categories: "product is
ready," "product is scheduled to be tested," "product is not ready (but has some
Year 2000 functionality)," and "product will not be tested (and is not ready)."
At the present time, of the eighty-nine products listed in the Company's Year
2000 readiness report, twenty-four remain to be tested, and thirty-six fall in
the final category of products that will not be tested or ready. Of those
products in the latter category, many of these are older products that have been
replaced by newer versions of software. The Company is continuing to work on
making some of its older software Year 2000 ready. The software still under
modification is not required to be upgraded before the end of 1999. Nonetheless,
the Company believes that all modifications will be complete and ready for
distribution to its customers by the end of June, 1999. Although the Company has
been encouraging its customers to upgrade to current product versions, no
assurance can be given that all of them will do so in a timely manner, if at
all.

The Company also relies on certain software that it licenses from third parties,
including software that is integrated with internally developed software and is
used in the Company's products to perform key functions. The Company has
undertaken joint compliance review of such software in certain cases where the
product is believed to be material to the Company's financial performance, such
as its "Lodging Touch" product that is licensed from Enterprise Hospitality
Solutions. The Company believes that in such selective cases the licensed
software and any related integrated software product is Year 2000 compliant.
There can be no assurance, however, that all third party software presently
utilized by the Company will be free of errors and defects or be Year 2000
compliant.


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

The Company's present "reasonably likely worst case scenario" for Year 2000
problems involves potential product liability claims by substantial customers
involving collateral (business interruption) damages. Although the Company has
not experienced any product liability claims to date regarding Year 2000
compliance, there can be no assurance that errors or defects, whether associated
with Year 2000 functions or otherwise, will not result in product liability
claims against the Company in the future. The Company's license agreements with
customers typically contain provisions designed to limit the Company's exposure
to potential product liability claims; however, it is possible that such
limitation of liability provisions may not be effective under the laws of
certain jurisdictions. Defective products or releases could result in loss of
revenues, increased service and warranty costs and product liability claims, and
could adversely affect the Company's market penetration and reputation, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Since the Company spent a significant amount of time developing its Year 2000
readiness plan and evaluating its products for readiness, it does not believe
that an elaborate Year 2000 contingency plan is necessary. However, it is
reasonable to assume that some problems may be discovered in products the
Company currently believes to be Year 2000 ready. In this case, the Company has
the necessary resources available to address these expected problems and provide
the appropriate customers with updated software.

The Company is in the process of compiling information concerning the Year 2000
compliance of its key suppliers through the process of issuing questionnaires
and monitoring responses. In the event that any of the Company's key suppliers
do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the Company's
business or operations could be adversely affected. The Company's Year 2000
compliance plan includes encouraging and/or requiring Year 2000 compliance by
all key suppliers.

Despite the Company's efforts to become Year 2000 compliant, there is no 
assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant problems. There 
may be delays in the Company's remediation efforts, a failure to fully identify 
all Year 2000 problems in the systems, equipment or processes of the Company or 
its vendors or customers, or unanticipated remediation expenses, all of which 
could have material adverse consequences on the Company's financial position 
and results of operations.

</TABLE>

All of the properties noted above were occupied by the Company pursuant to
leases with various expiration dates. In addition to the premises identified
above, the Company leases offices in three additional locations in the United
States, one additional location in Canada and seven other locations around the
world. Generally such leases are for terms of five years or less, although
several of the leases in the United States are for terms of one year or less.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has filed and will continue to file objections to claims asserted in
its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The majority of these claims would, if
upheld, give rise to allowed unsecured claims entitling respective claimants to
distributions of new Common Stock. A number of filed objections in respect of
secured claims, priority claims, tax claims, convenience claims and cure claims
are still outstanding at December 31, 1998. To the extent the Company's
objections to such claims are not sustained, the Company will be obligated to
pay such claims in a lump sum in the case of convenience claims and
administrative claims, and in the case of secured claims, priority claims, tax
claims and cure claims, on a deferred basis over six to seven years, depending
on the type of claim, at an interest rate of 6% in accordance with the Plan of
Reorganization. The Company does not believe the outcome of these objections
will be material.

On October 5, 1998, CSA Private Limited ("CSA") filed a lawsuit against the
Company in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. CSA
is a shareholder of the Company. At the time of the Company's purchase of Hotel
Information Systems, Inc. ("HIS") in 1996, CSA was a shareholder of HIS and, in
connection with the purchase, the Company agreed to issue to CSA shares of the
Company's common stock worth approximately $4.8 million (plus accrued interest
until such time as the shares are issued and registered), and also granted CSA
certain demand registration rights with respect to such stock. CSA subsequently
requested registration of its shares and, in October, 1996, the Company filed an
S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
for the purpose of registering these shares. The SEC, however, required an
auditor's consent to the use of the HIS financial statements in the S-3, which
consent HIS's previous auditors were unwilling to provide. When this impediment
to registration was removed in April, 1998, CSA again demanded registration of
its shares. The Company has delayed registration based upon a provision in its
agreements with CSA allowing the Company to defer such registration under
certain circumstances provided that, during the period of such delay, an
increased interest rate is applied in calculating the dollar value of shares of
the Company's common stock to which CSA is ultimately entitled. In its lawsuit,
CSA alleges that the Company's failure to register its shares has deprived it of
its ability to realize approximately $5,000,000 from sale of the shares to which
it is entitled and requests (a) money damages in an amount not less than
$5,000,000, (b) injunctive relief directing the Company to register CSA's
shares, and (c) specific performance of its agreements with the Company.

The initial delay in registration of CSA's shares was the result of the refusal
on the part of HIS's previous auditors to consent to the inclusion of HIS's
financial statements in the S-3, a factor beyond the Company's control, and the
subsequent delay has been the result of the Company's good faith exercise of its
rights under its agreements with CSA to defer registration. Accordingly, the
Company believes that it is in full compliance with all of its obligations under
its agreements with CSA, and is contesting the lawsuit. The parties are
currently conducting settlement negotiations.

The Company is also involved in various other legal proceedings which are
incident to its business. Management believes the ultimate outcome of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The Company's shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. under the
AMEX symbol "NOW". Prior to listing on the AMEX, which occurred August 29, 1995,
the Company's shares were traded over-the-counter by various market makers under
the ticker symbol "MAIS".

The Company's Common Stock was originally issued pursuant to an order of the
Bankruptcy Court dated January 27, 1994. All previously outstanding equity
interests were canceled. Until April 10, 1993, the principal market for the
Company's previously outstanding common stock (the "Old Common Stock") was the
New York Stock Exchange, where the common stock was traded under the ticker
symbol "MCO". Thereafter, until November 18, 1993, the Company's Old Common
Stock was traded over-the-counter by various market makers.

No cash dividends have been paid to date on the Common Stock. At February 28,
1999, there were 590 stockholders of record.

On April 24, 1998, the Company issued 246,453 shares of the Company's Common
Stock to a former shareholder of Hotel Information Systems, Inc. ("HIS") in
satisfaction of the Company's obligations to issue additional shares, in
addition to the 118,569 shares of Common Stock originally issued to such
shareholder, under the asset purchase agreement and related documents pursuant
to which the Company acquired the assets of HIS in August, 1996. Such additional
shares were issued, in accordance with the asset purchase agreement and related
documents, in order that such shareholder would receive, in the aggregate,
shares with a fair value equal to $10.04 multiplied by 118,569 (the number of
originally issued shares). (The Company still has outstanding similar
obligations to other former shareholders of HIS under the asset purchase
agreement and related documents, which obligations have yet to be settled).

On May 12, 1998, the Company issued 45,424 shares of the Company's Common Stock
to a former shareholder and two former optionholders in Gaming Systems
International ("GSI") in full satisfaction of the Company's obligations to issue
additional shares, in addition to the 113,392 shares of Common Stock originally
issued to such shareholder and optionholders, under the stock purchase agreement
and option cancellation agreements pursuant to which the Company acquired the
remaining 30% minority interest and remaining options in GSI in May, 1996 and
March 1997, respectively.

On or about July 30, 1998, the Company issued 110,638 shares of the Company's
Common Stock to Christian Rivadalla d/b/a Enterprise Hospitality Solutions
("EHS") in satisfaction of the Company's obligations to EHS pursuant to the
License Agreement, dated as of October 1, 1996 (the "License Agreement"),
between the Company and EHS. The issuance was made to EHS in lieu of a payment
in the amount of $325,000 then due to EHS under the License Agreement.

The foregoing issuances were made in transactions exempt under Section 4(2)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as transactions not involving any public
offering. The shares issued were legended and appropriate investment
representations were obtained from the purchasers.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to the
Company's Annual Report under the heading, "Selected Financial Information".

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to the
Company's Annual Report under the heading, "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations".

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES

The following discussion about the Company's market risk disclosures contains
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in
the forward-looking statements. The Company is exposed to market risk related to
changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does
not have derivative financial instruments for hedging, speculative, or trading
purposes.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Of the Company's $8.53 million principal amount of indebtedness at December 31, 
1998, $3.28 million bears interest at a rate that fluctuates based on changes 
in prime rate. A 1% change in the underlying prime rate would result in a 
$33,000 change in the annual amount of interest payable on such debt. The 
remaining amount of $5.25 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 11%.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The Company believes that its exposure on currency exchange fluctuation risk is
insignificant because the Company's transactions with international vendors are
generally denominated in US dollars, which is considered to be the functional
currency of the Company and its subsidiary. The currency exchange impact on
intercompany transactions was immaterial in 1998.

ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to the
Company's Annual Report under the headings, "Consolidated Balance Sheets",
"Consolidated Statements of Operations", Consolidated Statement of Stockholders'
Equity (Deficiency)", "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows", "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Independent Auditors' Report".

Schedule II Valuation and Qualifying Accounts is set forth in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

All other schedules and financial statements are omitted because they are not
applicable or the required information is shown in the consolidated financial
statements or notes thereto.

           (a) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. This Option shall vest and be exercisable,
cumulatively, as follows:

                               ----                    ----------------
<S>                      <C>                           <C>

                         -----------------                   ------

</TABLE>

           (b) METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Optionee shall purchase a minimum of at
least 100 shares per transaction concerning the exercise of the Option. This
Option shall be exercisable by actual receipt by the Company of written notice
provided by the Optionee which shall state the election to exercise this Option,
the number of whole Shares in respect to which this Option is being exercised,

<PAGE>   2

Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the then current President or Chief Financial Officer of the
Company or any other person as may be designated by the Company. The written
notice shall be accompanied by payment of the purchase price for the number of
Shares in respect to which this Option shall be exercised. Payment of the
purchase price shall be by check payable to the order of the Company,
outstanding shares of Common Stock duly endorsed to the Company (which shares
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the day preceding the day of
such exercise), or any combination of the foregoing.

           Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company,
the Company may arrange for the simultaneous exercise and sale of Shares through
the cooperation of broker-dealers which finance "same day" sales.

           The certificate(s) for the Shares as to which the Option shall be
exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee and shall be legended
as set forth in the Plan or as required under applicable regulatory, state or
federal law.

           (c) FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTION. This Option
shall not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or laws
or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may
require the Optionee to make any representation, warranty or certification to
the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation or by the
Plan. There shall be no exercise of any fractional shares concerning the Option.

           (d) ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE OF CAPITALIZATION. Appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the number, exercise price and class of shares of stock subject
to the Option in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the
capital structure of the Company.

        5. TERMINATION OF STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE. If the Optionee ceases to serve
as an Employee for any reason other than death or for Cause (as defined in the
Plan) and thereby terminates his status as an Employee, the Optionee shall have
the right to exercise this Option at any time within ninety (90) days following
the date of such termination, to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of such termination, but in no event after the
expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 2 hereof.

        If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee due to death, this Option
may be exercised at any time within one (1) year following the date of death by
the Optionee's executor or administrator or the person or persons who shall have
acquired the Option by bequest or inheritance but only to the extent the
Optionee was entitled to exercise this option at the date of death. To the
extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
termination or death, or to the extent the Option is not exercised within the
time specified herein, this Option shall terminate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of the term
set forth in Section 2 hereof. If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee
due to termination of his employment by the Company for cause (as defined in the
Plan), this Option shall cease to be exercisable ten (10) days following the
date the notice of such termination is delivered to the Optionee.

<PAGE>   3

        6. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION. This Option may not be sold,
ledged, assigned, hypothecated, gifted, transferred or disposed of in any manner
either voluntarily or involuntarily by operation of law, other than by will or
by the laws of descent of distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime
of the Optionee only by such Optionee. Subject to the foregoing and the terms of
the Plan, the terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

        7. CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Neither this Plan nor any Option granted
hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employment
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or limit in any respect the right of
the Company to discharge the Optionee at any time, with or without cause and
with or without notice.

        8. WITHHOLDING TAX LIABILITY. The Optionee understands and agrees that
the company may be required to withhold part or all of the Optionee's regular
compensation to pay any taxes required to be withheld under federal, state, or
local law as a result of the exercise of this Option, and that if such regular
compensation is insufficient, the Company may require the Optionee, as a
condition of exercise of this Option, to pay in cash the amount of such
withholding tax liability.

        9. THE PLAN. This Option is subject to, and the Company and the Optionee
expressly agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan as
it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof,
provided that no such amendment shall deprive the Optionee, without his written
consent, of this Option or any rights hereunder. Pursuant to the Plan, the
Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to administer the
Plan is authorized to adopt rules and regulations not materially inconsistent
with the Plan as it shall deem appropriate and proper. If questions arise as to
the intent, meaning or application of the provisions of this Option Agreement or
of the Plan, such questions shall be decided by Committee in its sole
discretion, and any such decision shall be conclusive and binding on the
Optionee. A copy of the Plan in its present form is available for inspection
during regular business hours by the Optionee of the persons entitled to
exercise this Option at the Company's principal office.

Person are greater than the sum of the debts, including contingent liabilities,

circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that reasonably can
be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

6. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWERS.

     In order to induce Coast to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans,
each Borrower represents and warrants to Coast as follows, and each Borrower
covenants that the following representations will continue to be true, and that
each Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants:

     6.1 EXISTENCE AND AUTHORITY. Each Borrower is and will continue to be, duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization. Each Borrower is and will continue to be
qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure
to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents
contemplated hereby (a) have been duly and validly authorized, (b) are
enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as
enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally), and (c) do not violate such Borrower's articles or
certificate of incorporation, or by-laws, or any law or any material agreement
or instrument which is binding upon such Borrower or its property, and (d) do
not constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or
obligation under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon such
Borrower or its property.

     6.2 NAME; TRADE NAMES AND STYLES. The name of each Borrower set forth in
the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are
all prior names of each Borrower and all of such Borrower's present and prior
trade names. Each Borrower shall give Coast thirty (30) days' prior written
notice before changing its name or doing business under any other name, Each
Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, with all laws relating to
the conduct of business under a fictitious business name.

     6.3 PLACE OF BUSINESS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. Each Borrower's Address set
forth in the heading to this Agreement is such Borrower's chief executive
office. In addition, each Borrower has places of business and Collateral is
located only at the locations set forth on the Schedule. Each Borrower will give
Coast at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice before opening any
additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any
of the Collateral to a location other than such Borrower's Address or one of the
locations set forth on the Schedule.

     6.4 TITLE TO COLLATERAL; PERMITTED LIENS. Each Borrower is now, and will at
all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for (i)
items of Equipment which are leased by each Borrower and (ii) the Licensed
Software. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all
liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for
Permitted Liens. Coast now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority
perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject
only to the Permitted Liens, and each Borrower will at all times defend Coast
and the Collateral against all claims of others. None of the Collateral now is
or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent,
as to become a fixture. No Borrower is or will become a lessee under any real
property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the
Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit,
restrain or impair any Borrower's right to remove any Collateral from the leased
premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon premises in which any third
party has an interest (whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of
trust, lien or otherwise), each Borrower shall, whenever requested by Coast, use
its best efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver to Coast, in
form reasonably acceptable to Coast, such waivers and subordinations as Coast
shall specify, so as to ensure that Coast's rights in the Collateral are, and
will continue to be, superior to the rights of any such third party. Each
Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all the terms
of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future
may be located.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



     6.5 MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL. Each Borrower will maintain the Collateral
in good working condition, and no Borrower will use the Collateral for any
unlawful purpose. Borrowers will immediately advise Coast in writing of any
material loss or damage to the Collateral.

     6.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Each Borrower has maintained and will maintain at
such Borrower's Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an
accounting system in accordance with GAAP.

     6.7 FINANCIAL CONDITION, STATEMENTS AND REPORTS. All financial statements
now or in the future delivered to Coast have been, and will be, prepared in
conformity with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited financial statements, for
the absence of footnotes and subject to normal year-end adjustments) and now and
in the future will fairly reflect the financial condition of Borrowers, at the
times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date covered by any
such statement provided to Coast and the date hereof, there has been no Material
Adverse Effect. Each Borrower is now and will continue to be Solvent.

     6.8 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS; PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Borrower has
timely filed, and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by
foreign, federal, state and local law, and each Borrower has timely paid, and
will timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments,
deposits and contributions now or in the future owed by such Borrower. Each
Borrower may, however, defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that such
Borrower (i) in good faith contests such Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes
by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted,
(ii) notifies Coast in writing of the commencement of, and any material
development in, the proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps
required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the
Collateral. As of the date hereof, no Borrower is aware of any claims or
adjustments proposed for any of such Borrower's prior tax years which could
result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by such Borrower. Each
Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all
present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in
accordance with their term, and no Borrower has or will withdraw from
participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the
occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could result
in any liability of such Borrower, including any liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

service providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll taxes payable by such
Borrower.

     6.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Each Borrower has complied, and will comply, in
all material respects, with all provisions of all material foreign, federal,
state and local laws and regulations relating to such Borrower, including, but
not limited to, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and those relating to such
Borrower's ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of
such Borrower's business, and environmental matters.

     6.10 LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, there is no claim,
suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of each
Borrower's knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting such Borrower in any
court or before any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to such
Borrower) which may result, either separately or in the aggregate, in a Material
Adverse Effect. Borrowers will promptly inform Coast in writing of any claim,
proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted
by or against any Borrower involving an amount set forth on the Schedule.

     6.11 USE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for
lawful business purposes. No Borrower is purchasing or carrying any "margin
stock" (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase
or carry any "margin stock" or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin stock."

     6.12 YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. Each Borrower has no knowledge, with respect to
any of such Borrower's customers, that would cause such Borrower to reasonably
believe that the Year 2000 problem will cause a Material Adverse Effect and,
further that as the result of a comprehensive review and assessment undertaken
by each Borrower of such Borrower's computer systems, software and applications
and after due inquiry made of such Borrower's material suppliers and vendors,
each Borrower represents and warrants that such Borrower knows of no fact or
circumstance which would reasonably be likely to cause the Year 2000 Problem to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7. RECEIVABLES.

     7. 1 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Each Borrower represents and
warrants to Coast as follows: Each Receivable with respect to which Loans are
requested by Borrowers shall, on the date each Loan is requested and made,
represent an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the
Account Debtor created by the sale, delivery and acceptance of goods or the
rendition of services in the ordinary course of the applicable Borrower's
business.

     7.2 REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE. Each
Borrower represents and warrants to Coast as follows: All statements made and
all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents
evidencing the Receivables are and shall be true and correct and all such
invoices, instruments and other documents and all of each Borrower's books and
records are and shall be genuine and in all respects what they purport to be.
All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Receivable
shall fully comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and
regulations. All signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and
agreements relating to all Receivables are and shall be genuine, and all such
documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be legally enforceable in
accordance with their terms.

     7.3 SCHEDULES AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO RECEIVABLES. Borrowers shall
deliver to Coast via facsimile, unless otherwise directed by Coast, at such
locations and at such intervals as Coast may reasonably request, transaction
reports and loan requests, schedules of Receivables, and schedules of
collections, all on Coast's standard forms; provided, however, that Borrowers'
failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Coast's
security interest and other rights in all of each Borrower's Receivables, nor
shall Coast's failure to advance or lend against a specific Receivable affect or
limit Coast's security interest and other rights therein. Loan requests received
after 10:30 A.M. Los Angeles, California time, will not be considered by Coast
until the next Business Day. Together with each such schedule, or later if
requested by Coast, Borrowers shall, if requested by Coast, furnish Coast with
copies (or, at Coast's request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices,
and other similar documents, and all original shipping instructions, delivery
receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the
sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Receivables, and each Borrower
warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing. Each Borrower shall also
furnish to Coast an aged accounts receivable trial balance in such form and at
such intervals as Coast shall reasonably request. In addition, each Borrower
shall deliver to Coast the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security
agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing
any Receivables, upon receipt thereof and in the same form as received, with all
necessary endorsements, all of which shall be with recourse. Each Borrower shall
also provide Coast with copies of all credit memos as and when reasonably
requested by Coast.

     7.4 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Borrowers shall have the right to collect
all Receivables, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. Borrowers shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Receivables
in trust for Coast, and Borrowers shall deliver all such payments and proceeds
to Coast within one (1) Business Day after receipt by the applicable Borrower,
in their original form, duly endorsed to Coast, to be applied to the Obligations
in such order as Coast shall determine. Coast may, in its discretion, require
that a proceeds of Collateral be deposited by the applicable Borrower into a
lockbox account, or such other "blocked account" as Coast may specify, pursuant
to a lockbox or blocked account agreement in such form as Coast may specify.
Coast or its designee may, at any time, notify Account Debtors that Coast has
been granted a security interest in the Receivables.

     7.5 REMITTANCE OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds arising from the disposition of
any Collateral shall be delivered to Coast within one (1) Business Day after
receipt by the applicable Borrower, in their original form, duly endorsed to
Coast, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Coast shall determine.
Each Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any
of such Borrower's other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate
and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Coast.
Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set
forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

     7.6 DISPUTES. Each Borrower shall notify Coast promptly of all disputes or
claims relating to Receivables. No Borrower shall forgive (completely or
partially), compromise or settle any Receivable for less than payment in full,
or agree to do any of the foregoing, except any

COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Borrower may do so, provided that: (a) such Borrower does so in good faith, in a
commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, and in arm's
length transactions, which are reported to Coast on the regular reports provided
to Coast; (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(c) taking into account all such discounts settlements and forgiveness, the
total outstanding Loans will not exceed the Credit Limit. Coast may, at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle
or adjust disputes or claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon
terms which Coast considers advisable in its reasonable credit judgment and, in
all cases, Coast shall credit Borrowers' Loan account with only the net amounts
received by Coast in payment of any Receivables.

     7.7 RETURNS. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to any Borrower in the ordinary
course of its business, such Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for
such return and promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the
appropriate amount. In the event any attempted return occurs after the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Borrower
shall (a) hold the returned Inventory in trust for Coast, (b) segregate all
returned Inventory from all of such Borrower's other property, (c) conspicuously
label the returned Inventory as subject to Coast's security interest, and (d)
immediately notify Coast of the return of any Inventory, specifying the reason
for such return, the location and condition of the returned Inventory, and on
Coast's request deliver such returned Inventory to Coast.

     7.8 VERIFICATION. Coast may, from time to time, verify directly with the
respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to
the Receivables, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of
the applicable Borrower or Coast or such other name as Coast may choose.

     7.9 NO LIABILITY. Coast shall not under any circumstances be responsible or
liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of,
any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to a Receivable, or
for any error, act, omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement,
failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Receivable, or for
settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor
shall Coast be deemed to be responsible for any of any Borrower's obligations
under any contract or agreement giving rise to a Receivable. Nothing herein
shall, however, relieve Coast from liability for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

8. ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF THE BORROWER.

     8.1 FINANCIAL AND OTHER COVENANTS. Borrowers shall at all times comply with
the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

     8.2 INSURANCE. Borrowers shall, at all times insure all of the tangible
personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with

reasonably require, and Borrowers shall provide evidence of such insurance to
Coast, so that Coast is satisfied that such insurance is, at all times, in full
force and effect. ALL liability insurance policies of each Borrower shall name
Coast as an additional insured, and all property casualty and related insurance
policies of each Borrower shall name Coast as a loss payee thereon and each
Borrower shall cause a lender's loss payee endorsement to be issued in form
reasonably acceptable to Coast. Upon receipt of the proceeds of any such
insurance, Coast shall apply such proceeds in reduction of the Obligations as
Coast shall determine in its sole discretion, except that, provided no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Coast shall release to
Borrowers insurance proceeds with respect to Equipment totaling less than the
amount set forth in Section 8 of the Schedule, which shall be utilized by
Borrowers for the replacement of the Equipment with respect to which the
insurance proceeds were paid. Coast may require reasonable assurance that the
insurance proceeds so released will be so used. If Borrowers fail to provide or
pay for any insurance, Coast may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at
Borrowers' expense. Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Coast copies of all
reports made to insurance companies.

     8.3 REPORTS. Borrowers, at their expense, shall provide Coast with the
written reports set forth in Section 8 of the Schedule, and such other written
reports with respect to Borrowers (including budgets, sales projections,
operating plans and other financial documentation), as Coast shall from time to
time reasonably specify.

     8.4 ACCESS TO COLLATERAL, BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times but not
less frequently than quarterly and



                                       10

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



on one (1) Business Day's notice, Coast, or its agents, shall have the right to
perform Audits. Coast shall take reasonable steps to keep confidential all
confidential information obtained in any Audit, but Coast shall have the right
to disclose any such information to its auditors, regulatory agencies, and
attorneys, and pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process. The Audits shall
be at Borrowers' expense and the charge for the Audits shall be Seven Hundred
Fifty Dollars ($750) per person per day (or such higher amount as shall
represent Coast's then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses. Borrowers will not enter into any agreement with any
accounting firm, service bureau or third party to store Borrowers' books or
records at any location other than each Borrower's Address, without first
notifying Coast of the same and obtaining the written agreement from such
accounting firm, service bureau or other third party to give Coast the same
rights with respect to access to books and records and related rights as Coast
has under this Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall also take all necessary steps to
assure that such accounting and software, systems and applications, and those of
its accounting firm, service bureau or any other third party vendor or supplier,
will, on a timely basis, adequately and completely address the Year 2000 Problem
in all material respects.

     8.5 NEGATIVE COVENANTS. No Borrower shall, without Coast's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, do any of the
following:

         (a) merge or consolidate with another entity, except in a transaction

(50%) of the ownership interest in the surviving entity immediately after such
merger or consolidation, and (ii) the applicable Borrower is the surviving
entity;

         (b) acquire any assets, except (i) in the ordinary course of business,

         (i) guarantee or otherwise become liable with respect to the
obligations of another party or entity; 

         (j) pay or declare any such dividends or distributions on the ownership
interests in such Borrower (except for dividends or distributions payable solely
in stock form of ownership interests in such Borrower);

         (k) make any change in such Borrower's capital structure which would
have a Material Adverse Effect;

         (l) enter into any transaction, including the purchase, sale, exchange
of property or rendering of any service, or lending or investing any funds or
assets, with, to or into, any Affiliate; or

         (m) dissolve or elect to dissolve.

     Transactions permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section are only
permitted if no Default or Event of Default is continuing or would occur as a
result of such transaction.

     8.6 LITIGATION COOPERATION. Should any third-party suit or proceeding be
instituted by or against Coast with respect to any Collateral or relating to any
Borrower, such Borrower shall, without expense to Coast, make available such
Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and



                                       11

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



such Borrower's books and records, to the extent that Coast may deem them
reasonably necessary in order to prosecute or defend any such suit or
proceeding.

     8.7 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by
Coast, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Coast, may deem
reasonably necessary in order to perfect and maintain Coast's perfected security
interest in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

9. TERM.

     9.1 MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the
Maturity Date; provided that the Maturity Date shall automatically be extended,
and this Agreement shall automatically and continuously renew, for successive
additional terms of one year each, unless one party gives written notice to the
other, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date or the next
Renewal Date, that such party elects to terminate this Agreement effective on
the Maturity Date or such next Renewal Date. If this Agreement is renewed under
this Section 9.1, Borrower shall pay to Coast a Renewal Fee in the amount shown
in Section 3 of the Schedule. The Renewal Fee shall be due and payable on the
Renewal Date and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate
applicable to the Loans.

     9.2 EARLY TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Maturity Date as follows: (a) by Borrowers, effective three (3) Business Days
after written notice of termination is given to Coast; or (b) by Coast at any
time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without notice, effective immediately. If this Agreement is terminated by
Borrowers or by Coast under this Section 9.2, Borrowers shall pay to Coast an
Early Termination Fee in the amount shown in Section 3 of the Schedule. The
Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of
termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate
applicable to the Loans.

     9.3 PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier
effective date of termination, Borrowers shall pay and perform in full all
Obligations, whether evidenced by installment notes or otherwise, and whether or
not all or any part of such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable.
Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, all of Coast's security
interests in all of the Collateral and all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have
been paid and performed in full; provided that, without limiting the fact that
Loans are subject to the discretion of Coast, Coast may, in its sole discretion,
refuse to make any further Loans after termination. No termination shall in any
way affect or impair any right or remedy of Coast, nor shall any such
termination relieve Borrowers of any Obligation to Coast, until all of the
Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Upon payment and performance
in full of all the Obligations and termination of this Agreement, Coast shall
promptly deliver to Borrowers termination statements, requests for reconveyances
and such other documents as may be required to fully terminate Coast's security
interests.

10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

     10.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement, and Borrowers shall give
Coast immediate written notice thereof:

         (a) Any warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate made
or delivered to Coast by any Borrower or any of any Borrower's officers,
employees or agents, now or in the future, shall be untrue or misleading and
results in a Material Adverse Effect; or

         (b) Borrowers shall fail to pay when due any Loan or any interest
thereon or any other monetary Obligation; or

         (c) the total Loans and other Obligations outstanding at any time shall

books and records or Collateral as provided in Section 8.4 above, or shall
breach any negative covenant set forth in Section 8.5 above; or

         (e) Borrowers shall fail to comply with the financial covenants (if
any) set forth in the Schedule or shall fail to perform any other non-monetary
Obligation which by its nature cannot be cured; or

has or may reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or


         (j) Dissolution, termination of existence, or insolvency of any

receiver, trustee or custodian, for all or any part of the property of,

proceeding by any Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations under any
reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, readjustment of debt,
dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, now or in the
future in effect; or

         (k) the commencement of any proceeding against any Borrower or any
guarantor of any of the Obligations under any reorganization, bankruptcy,
insolvency, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or
statute of any jurisdiction, now or in the future in effect, which is (i) not
timely controverted, or (ii) not cured by the dismissal thereof within sixty
(60) days after the date commenced; or

         (l) revocation or termination of, or limitation or denial of liability
upon, any guaranty of the Obligations or any attempt to do any of the foregoing,
or commencement of proceedings by any guarantor of any of the Obligations under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law; or

         (m) revocation or termination of, or limitation or denial of liability
upon, any pledge of any certificate of deposit, securities or other property or
asset of any kind pledged by any third party to Coast to secure any or all of
the Obligations, or any attempt to do any of the foregoing, or commencement of
proceedings by or against any such third party under any bankruptcy or
insolvency law; or

         (n) any Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations makes any
payment on account of any indebtedness or obligation which has been subordinated
to the Obligations (including without limitation, the Junior Debt), other than
as permitted in the applicable subordination agreement, or if any Person who has
subordinated such indebtedness or obligations terminates or in any way limits
his subordination agreement; or

         (o) Except as permitted under Section 8.5(a), any Borrower shall suffer
or experience any Change of Control without Coast's prior written consent, which
consent shall be in the discretion of Coast in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment; or

         (p) any Borrower shall generally not pay its debts as they become due,
or any Borrower shall conceal, remove or transfer any part of its property, with
intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors, or make or suffer any transfer
of any of its property which may be fraudulent under any bankruptcy, fraudulent
conveyance or similar law; or

         (q) there shall be any Material Adverse Effect.

     Coast may cease making any Loans or extending any credit hereunder during
any of the above cure periods.

     10.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any
Event of Default, Coast, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind
(all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower), may do any one or
more of the following:

         (a) Cease making Loans or otherwise extending credit to Borrowers under
this Agreement or any other document or agreement;

         (b) Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be
immediately due, payable and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or
installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any
Obligation;

         (c) Take possession of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be
found, and for that purpose



                                       13
<PAGE>   17
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



each Borrower hereby authorizes Coast without judicial process to enter onto any
of such Borrower's premises without interference to search for, take possession
of, keep, store or remove any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises or
cause a custodian to remain on the premises in exclusive control thereof,
without charge for so long as Coast deems it reasonably necessary in order to
complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other
agreement; provided, however, that should Coast seek to take possession of any
of the Collateral by Court process, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives:

          (i) any bond and any surety or security relating thereto required by
     any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession;

          (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit
     or action to recover possession thereof; and

          (iii) any requirement that Coast retain possession of, and not dispose
     of, any such Collateral until after trial or final judgment;

         (d) Require Borrowers to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make
it available to Coast at places designated by Coast which are reasonably
convenient to Coast and Borrowers, and to remove the Collateral to such
locations as Coast may deem advisable;

         (e) Complete the processing, manufacturing or repair of any Collateral
prior to a disposition thereof and, for such purpose and for the purpose of
removal, Coast shall have the right to use each Borrower's premises, vehicles,
hoists, lifts, cranes, equipment and all other property without charge. Coast is
hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, each Borrower's
labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a
similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of,
advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and each Borrower's rights
under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Coast's benefit;

         (f) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, in its
condition at the time Coast obtains possession of it or after further
manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private sales,
in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to
adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral
announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Coast shall have the right to
conduct such disposition on each Borrower's premises without charge, for such
time or times as Coast deems reasonable, or on Coast's premises, or elsewhere
and the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Coast may
directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at
any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any
private disposition. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall not
relieve any Borrower of any liability such Borrower may have if any Collateral
is defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;

         (g) Demand payment of, and collect any Receivables and General
Intangibles comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, each Borrower
irrevocably authorizes Coast to endorse or sign such Borrower's name on all
collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, to take possession of
and open mail addressed to such Borrower and remove therefrom payments made with
respect to any item of the Collateral or proceeds thereof, and, in Coast's sole
discretion, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle
Receivables and the like for less than face value; and

         (h) Demand and receive possession of any of each Borrower's federal and
state income tax returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation
thereof or referring thereto.

     All reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and
obligations incurred by Coast (including attorneys' fees and expenses incurred
in connection with bankruptcy) with respect to the foregoing shall be due from
the Borrowers to Coast on demand. Coast may charge the same to Borrowers' loan
account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as is
applicable to the Loans. Without limiting any of Coast's rights and remedies,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
interest rate applicable to the Obligations shall be increased by an additional
three percent (3%) per annum.

     10.3 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. Borrowers and
Coast agree that a sale or other disposition (collectively, "sale") of any
Collateral which complies with the following standards will conclusively be
deemed to be commercially reasonable:



                                       14
<PAGE>   18
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



         (a) Notice of the sale is given to Borrowers at least seven (7) days
prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale, notice of the sale is
published at least seven (7) days before the sale in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted;

         (b) Notice of the sale describes the Collateral in terms sufficient for
a potential buyer to identify the type of Collateral generally;

         (c) The sale is conducted at a place designated by Coast, with or
without the Collateral being present;

         (d) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
local time;

         (e) Payment of the purchase price in cash or by cashier's check or wire
transfer is required; and

         (f) With respect to any sale of any of the Collateral, Coast may (but
is not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from
Borrowers any and all information concerning the same.

     Coast shall be free to employ other methods of noticing and selling the
Collateral, in its discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.

     10.4 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Borrower hereby grants to Coast an irrevocable
power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting Coast
(acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its
option, but without obligation, with or without notice to such Borrower, and at
such Borrower's expense, to do any or all of the following, in such Borrower's
name or otherwise, but Coast agrees to exercise the following powers in a
commercially reasonable manner:

         (a) Execute on behalf of such Borrower any documents that Coast may, in
its sole discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Coast's
security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of such
Borrower or Coast, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements;

         (b) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, execute on behalf of such Borrower any document exercising,
transferring or assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of
or to lease (as lessor or lessee) any real or personal property which is part of
Coast's Collateral or in which Coast has an interest;

         (c) Execute on behalf of such Borrower, any invoices relating to any
Receivable, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account
Debtor, any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of
mechanic's, materialman's or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of
mechanic's, materialman's or other lien;

         (d) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment
or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of such Borrower upon any
instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into
Coast's possession;

         (e) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by
Coast;

         (f) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest
and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon,
or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same;

         (g) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle
Receivables and General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all
releases and other documents in connection therewith;

         (h) Pay any sums required on account of such Borrower's taxes or to
secure the release of any liens therefor, or both, if deemed necessary by Coast
in order to prevent a Material Adverse Effect to Coast's rights and remedies
with respect to any Collateral;

         (i) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that
relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor;

         (j) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or
records belonging to, or relating to, such Borrower to give Coast the same
rights of access and other rights with respect thereto as Coast has under this
Agreement; and



                                       15
<PAGE>   19
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



         (k) Take any action or pay any sum required of such Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement and any other present or future agreements if deemed necessary
by Coast in order to prevent a Material Adverse Effect to Coast's rights and
remedies with respect to any Collateral.

     Any and all sums paid and any and all costs, expenses, liabilities,
obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Coast (including attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred pursuant to bankruptcy) with respect to the foregoing shall be
added to and become part of the Obligations, and shall be payable on demand.
Coast may charge the foregoing to Borrowers' loan account and the foregoing
shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate applicable to the Loans. In no
event shall Coast's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of
Coast's other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Coast is in
control of the business, management or properties of Borrowers. Borrowers shall
pay, indemnify, defend, and hold Coast and each of its officers, directors,
employees, counsel, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified
Person") harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any
and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and
damages, and all attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses
actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and
irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed
upon, or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of or related
to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, and administration of this
Agreement and any other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein,
and with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit
provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party
thereto), or any act, omission, event or circumstance in any manner related
thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities").
Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person hereunder with
respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction
finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

     10.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All proceeds realized as the result of any
sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Coast first to the costs, expenses,
liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Coast in the exercise
of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon any of the
Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order as
Coast shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to
Borrowers or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrowers shall remain
liable to Coast for any deficiency. If, Coast, in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or
other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Coast
shall have the option, exercisable at any time, in the exercise of its
reasonable business judgment, of either reducing the Obligations by the
principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations
until the actual receipt by Coast of the cash therefor.

     10.6 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth
in this Agreement, Coast shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party in equity, under the Code, and under all other applicable laws,
and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into
between Coast and Borrowers, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative
and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Coast of one or more of
its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Coast from
subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The
failure or delay of Coast to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate
as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force
and effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and
performed.

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     11.1 INTEREST COMPUTATION. In computing interest on the Obligations, all
checks, wire transfers and other items of payment received by Coast (including
proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed
applied by Coast on account of the Obligations three (3) Business Days after
receipt by Coast of immediately available funds, and, for purposes of the
foregoing, any such funds received after 10:30 AM Los Angeles, California time,
on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Coast shall be
entitled to charge Borrowers' account for such three (3) Business Days of
"clearance" or "float" at the rate(s) set forth in Section 3 of the Schedule on
all checks, wire transfers and other items received by Coast, regardless of
whether such three (3) Business Days of "clearance" or "float" actually occur,
and shall be deemed to be the equivalent of charging



                                       16
<PAGE>   20
COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



three (3) Business Days of interest on such collections. This across-the-board
three (3) Business Day clearance or float charge on all collections is
acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of
Coast's financing of Borrowers. Coast shall not, however, be required to credit
Borrowers' account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory
to Coast in its sole discretion, and Coast may charge Borrowers' loan account
for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Coast unpaid.

     11.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Subject to Sections 7.5 and 10.5 hereof, all
payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied, and in Coast's sole
discretion reversed and re-applied, to the Obligations, in such order and manner
as Coast shall determine in its sole discretion.

     11.3 CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS. Coast may, in its discretion, require that
Borrowers pay monetary Obligations in cash to Coast, or charge them to
Borrowers' Loan account, in which event they will bear interest from the date
due to the date paid at the same rate applicable to the Loans.

     11.4 MONTHLY ACCOUNTINGS. Coast shall provide Borrowers monthly with an
account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on
Borrowers and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of
payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Coast), unless Borrowers
notify Coast in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after each
account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.

     11.5 NOTICES. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery
service or by regular first-class mail, facsimile or certified mail return
receipt requested, addressed to Coast or Borrowers at the addresses shown in the
heading to this Agreement, or at any other address designated in writing by one
party to the other party. Notices to Coast shall be directed to the Commercial
Finance Division, to the attention of the Division Manager or the Division
Credit Manager. All notices to Borrowers shall be directed to the attention of
Borrowers' Chief Financial Officers. All notices shall be deemed to have been
given upon delivery in the case of notices personally delivered, faxed (at time
of confirmation of transmission), or at the expiration of one (1) Business Day
following delivery to the private delivery service, or two (2) Business Days
following the deposit thereof in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.

     11.6 SEVERABILITY. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall
not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force
and effect.

     11.7 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and such other written agreements,
documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the
final, entire and complete agreement among Borrowers and Coast and supersede all
prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements,
all of which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral
understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not
set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties
in connection herewith.

     11.8 WAIVERS. The failure of Coast at any time or times to require
Borrowers to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any
other present or future agreement between any Borrower and Coast shall not waive
or diminish any right of Coast later to demand and receive strict compliance
therewith. Any waiver of any Default shall not waive or affect any other
Default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by any Borrower and delivered to Coast shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or knowledge of Coast or its agents or employees, but only by
a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Coast and delivered
to Borrowers. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and notice
of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise,
settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account,
General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held by Coast on which
Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by
Coast, unless expressly required by this Agreement.

     11.9 NO LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. Neither Coast, nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Coast shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or
damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred



                                       17

COAST BUSINESS CREDIT                                LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



or suffered by any Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence
of Coast, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any
other Person affiliated with or representing Coast, but nothing herein shall
relieve Coast from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     11.10 AMENDMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be
waived or amended, except in a writing executed by Borrowers and a duly
authorized officer of Coast.

     11.11 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by
Borrowers of each and every obligation under this Agreement.

     11.12 ATTORNEYS FEES, COSTS AND CHARGES. Borrowers shall reimburse Coast
for all reasonable attorneys' fees (including attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred pursuant to bankruptcy) and all filing, recording, search, title
insurance, appraisal, audit, and other costs incurred by Coast, pursuant to, or
in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit is

            Amendment No. 4 to Letter Agreement Dated August 15, 1994

This Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment No. 3") to the Letter Agreement dated August
15, 1994 (the "Letter Agreement") amended as of October 17, 1994 ("Amendment No.
1"), as of August 16, 1996 ("Amendment No. 2") and August 31, 1997 ("Amendment
No. 3"), is made as of the 31st day of August, 1998 by and between Orchard
Capital Corporation, a California corporation, 10960 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 500,
Los Angeles, California 90024 ("Consultant") and MAI Systems Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, 9600 Jeronimo Road, Irvine, California 92718 ("MAI") with
reference to the following facts:

A.      On or about August 15, 1994, the parties entered into the Letter
        Agreement pursuant to which Consultant was to provide the services of
        its employee, Richard S. Ressler, to MAI, on various terms and
        conditions in exchange for certain consideration to be paid by MAI to
        Consultant.

B.      On or about October 17, 1994, pursuant to Amendment No. 1, certain terms
        of the Agreement were amended.

C.      On or about August 16, 1996, the term of the Agreement expired but the
        Consultant continued to perform services for MAI and, pursuant to
        Amendment No. 2, the parties extended the term of the consultancy up
        through and including August 31, 1997 and amended certain terms of the
        Agreement to be effective during the term extension.

D.      On or about August 31, 1997, the term of the Agreement (as extended by
        Amendment No. 2) expired but the Consultant continued to perform
        services for MAI and, pursuant to Amendment No. 3, the parties extended
        the term of the consultancy up through and including August 31, 1998 and
        amended certain terms of the Agreement to be effective during the term
        extension.

E.      The extended term of the Agreement in Amendment No. 3 has expired but
        Consultant has continued to perform services for MAI and the parties
        seek to extend the term of the consultancy and to amend certain terms of
        the Agreement to be effective during the term extension.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived hereunder,
the parties agree as follows:

1.      Extension of Term. The term of the consultancy shall be extended up
        through and including August 31, 1999.

2.      Fixed Compensation. During the period of extension, i.e. from September
        1, 1998 up through and including August 31, 1999, Consultant shall be
        compensated at the monthly rate of Twenty-four Thousand and no/100
        Dollars ($24,000).

3.      Equity Compensation. MAI shall consider the appropriate equity
        compensation for Consultant for services rendered during the term
        extension. The parties acknowledge that equity compensation may take the
        form of warrants to purchase shares of MAI's Common Stock, participation
        in one of its stock option plans, or otherwise. Nothing herein shall be
        construed to commit MAI to pay any equity compensation to Consultant for
        services during the period of extension.

4.      Confirmation of Other Terms and Conditions. In all other respects the
        parties reaffirm and acknowledge all of the terms and conditions set
        forth in the Agreement and Amendment Nos. 1, 2, and 3.

In witness whereof, the parties have executed this Amendment No. 4 as of the day
and year first written above.

Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise
of Options under the Plan is Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) Shares. The
number of Shares subject to Options outstanding under the Plan at any time may

addition, if, pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Plan, an Option is deemed to
expire or terminate in whole or part, then, to the extent provided in Section
8(e), the Shares subject to such Option shall be returned to the Plan and shall

        4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall be administered by the
Board of Directors of the Company. The Board shall have the authority, in its
absolute discretion, to make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall have
no discretion to determine the selection of Directors to whom Options will be

Option (except in accordance with Section 7 hereof), and the terms and
provisions of Options. All decisions of the Board shall be final.

determined in accordance with Section 13 hereof) of the Plan is or becomes a
Director and who is (i) not an employee of the Company; (ii) not an officer of
the Company; or (iii) is not the owner, directly or indirectly, of five percent
(5%) or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock shall be an Eligible
Director.

        6. INITIAL GRANTS OF OPTION. Each person who is or becomes an Eligible
Director during the term of the Plan shall automatically be granted on the date
he first becomes an Eligible Director during the term of the Plan an Option to
purchase Thirty-One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty (31,250) Shares, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 hereof. Except as

Plan to purchase Six Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty (6,250) Shares (subject to
adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 hereof) on the date
of each successive annual meeting of the Company's stockholders held after
calendar 1995 at which such Eligible Director is reelected to the Company's
Board.

           (b) If the total number of Shares which would otherwise be subject to
Options to be granted under Section 7(a) on a scheduled grant date exceeds the
number of Shares then available under the Plan (after deduction for all Shares
for which Options have been exercised or are then outstanding), the Shares
remaining available for grant subject to Options shall be


                                       2

<PAGE>   3

           (c) allocated pro rata among those Eligible Directors who have not
previously received an Option under Section 7(a) of the Plan.

        8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTION. Each Option granted pursuant to this
Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Certificate, which Option Certificate shall
comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

           (a) Number of Shares. Each Option Certificate shall state the number
of Shares to which it pertains and shall provide for the adjustment thereof in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12 hereof.

           (b) Exercise Price. Each Option Certificate shall state the Exercise
Price. The Exercise Price shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant, which shall be the average
of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock on the date of grant, as
reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as otherwise
reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
("NASDAQ") System), or, in the event the Common Stock is listed on national
securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National market System, the fair market
value per Share shall be the closing price on such Option, as reported in The
Wall Street Journal.

           (c) Medium and Time of Payment. The Purchase price for any Shares
purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be payable in full and shall be paid
by cash or check. The Purchase Price may also be paid (i) by delivery of Shares
already owned by, and in the possession of, the Optionholder, or (ii) if
specifically permitted in the Option being exercised, when and as permitted
therein, by a notice instructing the Company to withhold from those Shares that
otherwise would be issuable upon the exercise of the Option a number of Shares
having a fair market value equal to the Purchase Price of the Shares being
purchased, or any combination thereof. Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy
the Purchase Price of an Option shall be valued at their fair market value
determined (in accordance with Section 8(b) as of the close of business on the
date the Option is exercised, or if such date is not a business day, on the
business day immediately preceding the date of exercise.

           (d) Term of Option. Subject to Section 8(e) hereof, the term of each
Option shall be ten (10) years, but no option shall be exercisable for more than
one (1) year following the date an optionee ceases to be a director of the
Company.

           (e) Vesting. Each Option granted under Section 6 of the Plan shall
vest and be exercisable cumulatively to the extent of twenty percent (20%) of
the Shares subject thereto six months from the date of grant of the Option and
on the date of each successive annual meeting of stockholders at which the
Eligible Director is reelected to the Board (other than any such meeting held in
the same calendar year in which the Option is granted). Each Option granted
under Section 7(a) of the Plan shall vest and be exercisable to the extent of
all of the Shares issuable


                                       3


<PAGE>   4

upon exercise of such Option on the date of the annual meeting of the Company's
stockholders held during the fourth calendar year after the date of grant at
which the Optionholder is reelected to the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an Optionholder shall cease to be a director of the Company for any reason or
no reason ("Termination"), whether such Termination is permanent or temporary,
then after the effective date of such Termination and through the end of the
term of such Optionholder's Option, such Optionholder may exercise such Option
to purchase only the number of Shares that such Optionholder would have been
entitled to purchase on the effective date of such Termination, and such Option
shall be deemed to be an Option to purchase only the number of Shares that such
Optionholder would have been entitled to purchase on the effective date of such
Termination. To the extent that such Optionholder shall not be entitled to
exercise the Option as to any or all of the Shares subject to such Option, the
Option for such Shares as to which the Option shall not be exercisable shall be
deemed to expire on such effective date and the Shares as to which the Option
shall no longer be exercisable shall be returned to the Plan and shall become
available for issuance under the Plan.

           (f) Withholding Taxes. In the event the Company determines that it is
required to withhold state or federal income tax, FICA or other tax as a result
of the exercise of an Option, it may require the Optionholder to make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy such
requirements as a condition to the exercise of the Option. Whenever an
Optionholder is required to pay to the Company, or to have deducted from any
fees payable by the Company to such Optionholder, an amount necessary to satisfy
the Company's withholding obligations in connection with the exercise any
Option, such Optionholder shall be entitled, subject to such rules as the Board
may adopt, to satisfy such withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by
tendering to the Company or directing the Company to withhold Shares acquired
upon exercise of such Option, and/or tendering to the Company or other Shares
owned by such Optionholder, having a fair market value equal to the amount
required to be withheld.

        9. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this Plan may
not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, gifted, transferred or disposed of
in any manner, in whole or in part, either voluntarily or involuntarily by
operation of law, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution,
and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by such
Optionholder.

        10. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act"), applicable
state securities laws, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect

15 hereof, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares
as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each
outstanding Option, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for
issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or
which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an
Option, as well as the Exercise Price covered by each such outstanding Option,

issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration". Such adjustments shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or Purchase Price of Shares subject to an Option.

assets of the Company, or the merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
Company with or into another corporation, the Board shall (i) make provision for
the assumption of all outstanding Options by the successor corporation or (ii)
declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board which is
at least thirty (30) days after notice thereof is given to Optionholders and

Option would not otherwise be exercisable.

        13. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective
immediately upon the earlier of its adoption by the Board of its approval by the
stockholders or the Company in accordance with Section 15 hereof and shall
continue in effect for ten (10) years unless sooner terminated by the Board.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 12 and Section 15 hereof, the
termination or expiration of the Plan shall have no effect on any outstanding
Options.

        14. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. Provisions of the Plan concerning eligibility
for participation and the amount, price and timing of awards may not be amended
more than once every six months, other than to comport with changes in the
Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and the
rules thereunder. All amendments or modifications to the Plan shall require
approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares present, or
represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders.

Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionholder and the
Company.

affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Company present or represented and entitled to vote thereon. If, at the time the
Plan is presented for stockholder approval, the Company has registered any class
of equity security registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such
stockholder approval shall be solicited in accordance with Section 14(a) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

        16. CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a "Change in Control" (as
hereinafter defined), all Options outstanding shall be deemed fully vested
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(e) and thereafter each Optionholder
will have a period of ninety (90) days following the date such Optionholder
ceases to be a Director (but not later than ninety (90) days after the stated
term of the Option) in which to exercise in full such Optionholder's outstanding
Options. For purposes of this Section, "Change in Control" shall be deemed to
have occurred if (a) any "person" or group of "persons" (as the terms "person"
and "group" are used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules thereunder) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power
of the then outstanding securities of the Company (whether by purchase or
acquisition of such securities or by agreement to act in concert with respect to
the voting of such securities or otherwise); or (b) a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Company shall be comprised of persons who were not elected to
such offices as part of the "Company nominated slate" of directors (i.e., the
slate of nominees proposed by the Board of Directors in office immediately prior

        2. Exercise of Options. The Option shall be exercisable as follows:

                                            upon previous exercise of the Option

    _____ through _____                _____less any Shares purchased
                                            upon previous exercise of the Option

    _____ through _____                _____less any Shares purchased
                                            upon previous exercise of the Option

    _____ through _____                _____less any Shares purchased
                                            upon previous exercise of the Option

    _____ through _____                _____less any Shares purchased
                                            upon previous exercise of the Option
</TABLE>


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder shall cease to be a director of the
Company for any reason or no reason ("Termination"), whether such Termination is
permanent or temporary, then after the effective date of such Termination and
through the end of the Option Term, or one year after Holder has ceased to be a
director of the Company, whichever occurs first, the Holder may exercise the
Option to purchase only such number of Shares that the Holder would have been
entitled to purchase on the effective date of such Termination in accordance
with the foregoing table. To the extent that the Holder shall not have been
entitled to exercise any portion of the Option on the effective date of such
Termination, such portion shall be deemed to have expired unexercised on such
effective date.

           (b) Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Option; Transfer and
Exchange. The Option may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the
surrender of this Certificate, properly endorsed, at the principal office of the
Company, by the payment to the Company by cash or check of the then applicable
Purchase Price. In the event of any exercise of the Option, certificates for the
Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time
after the Option shall have been so exercised and, unless the Option has
expired, a new Certificate representing the right to purchase the number of
Shares, if any, with respect to which the Option shall not then have been
exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time. All such new
certificates shall be dated the date hereof and shall be identical with this
Certificate except as to the number of Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

<PAGE>   9

           (c) Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may be exercised only if the
issuance and delivery of the Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, applicable state securities laws or
the rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then
be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of the
Option, the Company may require the Holder to make such representations and
warranties to the Company as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

        3. Stock Fully Paid, Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and
agrees that all Shares will, upon issuance and payment in accordance herewith,
be fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable. The Company further covenants
and agrees that during the Option Term, subject to obtaining stockholder
approval of the Plan, the Company will at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of the Option, at least the
maximum number of Shares as are issuable upon the exercise of the Option.

        4. No Change in Certificate. The form of this Certificate need not be
changed because of any adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of
Shares purchasable on exercise of the Option. The Exercise Price or the number
of Shares shall be considered to have been so changed as of the close of
business on the date of adjustment.

        5. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued in connection
with any exercise of the Option but, in lieu of such fractional Shares, the
Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the fair market
value of the Shares.

        6. Nontransferability of Options. The Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, gifted, transferred or disposed of in any manner, in
whole or in part, either voluntarily or involuntarily by operation of law, other
than by will or the laws of descent or distribution, and may be exercised during
the lifetime of the Holder only by the Holder.

        7. No Rights as Stockholder. The Holder, as such, shall not be entitled
to vote or receive dividends or be considered a stockholder of the Company for
any purpose, nor shall anything in this Certificate be construed to confer on
such holder, as such, give or withhold consent to any corporate action, to
receive notice of meetings of stockholders, to receive dividends or subscription
rights or otherwise.

        8. Withholding Tax Liability. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company
and the Holder may incur liability for applicable state and federal income tax
withholding tax on the difference, if any, between the aggregate Purchase Price
and the then fair market value of the Shares acquired upon such exercise. The
Holder understands and agrees that the Company may be required to withhold part
or all of the Holder's director fees or other compensation paid by the Company
to pay the withholding tax and that if such fees or compensation is insufficient
the Company may require the Holder, as a condition to any exercise of the
Option, to pay in cash the amount of such withholding liability.

<PAGE>   10

        9. Acknowledgment of Receipt of Plan. The Holder hereby acknowledges
receipt of the Plan.

        10. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Etc.. Subject to any required action
by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares and the Exercise Price
shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration". Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number of Shares or the Exercise Price. In the event of the proposed dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, or in the event of a proposed sale of all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company, or the merger,
consolidation or reorganization of the Company with or into another corporation,
the Option will terminate upon the effectiveness of such action, unless
otherwise provided by the Board. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole
discretion in such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a
date fixed by the Board.

        during the Optionee's lifetime only by him. No transfer of an Option by
        an Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be
        effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been
        furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such
        other evidence as the Committee may determine necessary to establish the
        validity of the transfer.

             (d) Exercise of Option. Unless the Option Agreement pursuant to
        which an Option is granted provides otherwise, each Option shall become
        exercisable, on a cumulative basis, with respect to 20% of the aggregate
        number of the shares of Common Stock covered thereby on the first
        anniversary of the date of grant and with respect to an additional 20%
        of the shares of Common Stock covered thereby on each of the next four
        succeeding anniversaries of the date of grant. Any portion of an Option
        which has become exercisable shall remain exercisable until it is
        exercised in full or terminates pursuant to the terms of the Plan or the
        Option Agreement pursuant to which it is granted.

             (e) Acceleration of Exercise on Change of Control. Notwithstanding
        the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or any other
        restrictions limiting the number of shares of Common Stock as to which
        an Option may be exercised, each Option shall become immediately
        exercisable in full upon and simultaneously with any "Change of Control"
        of the Company. For purposes of this Plan, a "Change of Control" shall
        be deemed to have occurred if:

                 (i) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
             14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
             "Exchange Act") (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan
             sponsored by the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding
             securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any
             corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of
             the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
             ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the "beneficial
             owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
             or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or
             more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
             securities;

                 (ii) during any period of two consecutive years individuals who
             at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new
             director (other than a director designated by a person who has
             entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction
             described in clause (i), (iii) or (iv) of this Section) whose
             election by the Board of nomination for election by the Company's
             stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of
             the directors then still in office who either were directors at the
             beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for
             election was previously so approved cease for any reason to
             constitute at least a majority thereof;


                                       4


<PAGE>   5

                 (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
             consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than
             a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
             securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
             continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
             being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity)
             more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities
             of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately
             after such merger or consolidation; or

                       (A) assets for which the price or consideration upon sale
                 or disposition equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) or more of
                 the book value of the total assets of the Company;

                       (B) assets for which the price or consideration upon sale
                 or disposition equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) or more of
                 the fair market value of the Company (which for purposes of
                 this subsection (iv) shall be the number of shares of voting
                 securities outstanding on the date on which the change of
                 control of the Company is deemed to occur multiplied by the
                 Fair Market Value of said securities; or

                       (C) assets that generated fifty percent (50%) or more of
                 the Company's reported net sales or net income in either of the
                 two (2) taxable years ended prior to the date on which the
                 change of control of the Company is deemed to occur.

             Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(e), as
             long as Brooke Group, Ltd. (BGL) and/or any affiliate thereof shall
             own stock of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined
             voting power for the election of directors, (x) the beneficial
             ownership of such stock by BGL and/or any affiliate, and (y) any
             acquisition of additional voting stock by BGL and/or any affiliate
             shall not constitute a Change of Control.

        (f) Incentive Stock Options Granted to Ten Percent Shareholders. No
Incentive Stock Options shall be granted to any Employee who owns, directly or
indirectly within the mean of Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Subsidiary, unless at the time the Incentive Stock Option is
granted, the exercise price of the Incentive Stock Option is at least 110% of
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to such Incentive Stock Option
and such Incentive Stock Option, by its terms, is not exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

        (g) Limitation on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any
calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary
corporations) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory
Options. For this purpose, Options shall be taken into account in the order in
which they were granted and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be
determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Common Stock is
granted.

        5.4. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND DELIVERY OF SHARES.

        (a) Notice and Payment for Shares. Each Option shall be exercised by
delivery of a written notice to the Company in such form as the Committee shall
approve stating the number of the whole shares of Common Stock as to which the
Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment therefor. No Option shall
be deemed exercised in the event that payment therefor is not received and
shares of Common Stock shall not be issued upon the exercise of an Option unless
the exercise price is paid in full. Payment for shares of Common Stock purchased
upon the exercise of an Option shall be made by (i) cash, (ii) certified check
payable to the order of the Company, (iii) outstanding shares of Common Stock
duly endorsed to the Company (which shares of Common Stock shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value as of the day preceding the date of such exercise), (iv)
any combination of the foregoing, or (v) such other method of payment as may be
provided in the applicable Option Agreement.

        (b) Rights of Optionee in Stock. Neither any Optionee nor the legal
representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees of any Optionee, shall be
deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with
respect to, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Option
granted hereunder unless and until such shares are issued to him or them and
such person or persons have received a certificate or certificates therefor.
Upon the issuance and receipt of such certificate or certificates, such Optionee
or the legal representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees of such Optionee
shall have absolute ownership of the shares of Common Stock evidenced thereby,
including the right to vote such shares, to the same extent as any other owner
of shares of Common Stock, and to receive dividends thereon, subject, however,
to the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Plan.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                              TERMINATION AND DEATH

        6.1. TERMINATION OTHER THAN BY DEATH OR FOR CAUSE. If an Optionee's
position as an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason
other than death or for Cause (as defined in Section 6.2) he may, unless the
applicable Option Agreement provides otherwise, exercise an Option previously
granted within three months after the date of such termination, but in no event
later than the date on which the Option would have expired in accordance with
its terms. To the extent the Option is not so exercised, it shall expire at the
end of such three-month period.

        6.2. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. If an Optionee's position as an Employee of
the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for Cause, any Option theretofore
granted to him shall expire and cease to be exercisable on the date notice of
such termination is delivered to the Optionee. "Cause" shall mean (a) the
willful and continued failure by an Optionee to substantially perform his duties
with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due
to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to the Optionee by the Board, which demand specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Optionee has not
substantially performed his duties, or (b) the willful engaging by the Optionee
in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company,
monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 6.2, no act, or failure to
act, shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, not in good
faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission was in the best
interest of the Company.


                                       6


<PAGE>   7

        6.3. DEATH. If an Optionee dies (i) while he is an Employee of the
Company or a Subsidiary or (ii) during the three-month period after the
termination of his position as an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, and
at the time of his death the Optionee was entitled to exercise an Option
theretofore granted to him, such Option shall, unless the applicable Option
Agreement provides otherwise, expire one year after the date of his death, but
in no event later than the date on which the Option would have expired if the
Optionee had lived. During such one-year period the Option may be exercised by
the Optionee's executor or administrator or by any person or persons who shall
have acquired the Option directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance,
but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at
the date of his death and, to the extent the Option is not so exercised, it
shall expire at the end of such one-year period.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                             ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

        7.1. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors or such other committee as may be appointed
by the Board of Directors of the Company, which Committee shall consist of not
less than two members, all of whom are members of the Board of Directors and
"disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Members of the Committee shall not be eligible
to participate in the Plan. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a
quorum thereof and the actions of a majority of the Committee at a meeting at
which a quorum is present, or actions unanimously approved in writing by all
members of the Committee, shall be the actions of the Committee. Vacancies
occurring on the Committee shall be filled by the Board. The Committee shall
have full and final authority (i) to interpret the Plan and each of the Option
Agreements, (ii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations, if any,
relating to the Plan, (iii) to make all determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan and (iv) to correct any defect, supply any
omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and any Option Agreement.
The Committee's determination in all matters referred to herein shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon all persons including, but
without limitation, the Company, the shareholders of the Company, the Committee,
and each of the members thereof, Employees and their respective successors in
interest.

        7.2. LIABILITY. No member of the Committee shall be liable for anything
done or omitted to be done by him or by any other member of the Committee in
connection with the Plan, except for his own willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The Committee shall have power to engage outside consultants,
auditors or other professional help to assist in the fulfillment of the
Committee's duties under the Plan at the Company's expense.

        7.3. DETERMINATIONS. In making its determinations concerning the key
Employees who shall receive Options as well as the number of shares to be
covered thereby and the time or times at which they shall be granted, the
Committee shall take into account the nature of the services rendered by such
key Employees, their past, present and potential contribution to the Company's
success and such other factors as the Committee may deem relevant. The Committee
shall determine the form of Option Agreements under the Plan and the terms and
conditions to be included therein, provided such terms and conditions are not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The Committee may waive any provisions
of any Option Agreement, provided such waiver is not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan as then in effect. The Committee's determinations under the Plan
need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive,
or are eligible to receive, Options under the Plan, whether or not such persons
are similarly situated.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

        8.1. AMENDMENT OF PLAN. (a) Generally. The Plan may be amended at any
time and from time to time by the Board, but, except as provided by Section 9.3,
no amendment which (i) increases the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
which may be issued pursuant to Options granted under the Plan, (ii) decreases
the minimum Incentive Stock Option exercise price provided in the Plan, (iii)
extends the period during which Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan,
(iv) changes the class of individuals eligible to the granted Options, (v)
materially increases the benefits provided by the Plan, or (vi) has the effect
of any of the above shall be effective unless and until the same is approved by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Company's voting stock, either in person or by proxy, in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the charter and bylaws of the Company and applicable
State law. No amendment to the Plan shall, without the consent of an Optionee,
affect such Optionee's rights under an Option previously granted.

        (b) Amendments Relating to Incentive Stock Options. To the extent
applicable, the Plan is intended to permit the issuance of Incentive Stock
Options to Employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the
Code. Subject to paragraph 8.1(a) above, the Plan and Option Agreements may be
modified or amended at any time, both prospectively and retroactively, and in a
manner that may affect Incentive Stock Options previously granted, if such
amendment or modification is necessary for the Plan and Incentive Stock Options
granted hereunder to qualify under said provisions of the Code.

        8.2. TERMINATION. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan as of any
date specified in a resolution adopted by the Board. If not earlier terminated,
the Plan shall terminate on June 27, 2003. No Options may be granted after the
Plan has terminated, but the Committee shall continue to supervise the
administration of Options previously granted.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

        9.1. RESTRICTIONS UPON GRANT OF OPTIONS. If the listing upon any stock
exchange or the registration or qualification under any federal or state law of
any shares of Common Stock to be issued on the exercise of Options granted under
this Plan (whether to permit the grant of Options or the resale or other
disposition of any such shares of Common Stock by or on behalf of Optionees
receiving such shares) should be or become necessary or desirable, the Board in
its sole discretion may determine that delivery of the certificates for such
shares of Common Stock shall not be made until such listing, registration or
qualification shall have been completed. The Company agrees that it will use its
best efforts to effect any such listing, registration or qualification,
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to use its best
efforts to effect such registration under the Securities Act of 1933 other than
on Form S-8 or such other forms as may be in effect from time to time calling
for information comparable to that presently required to be furnished under Form
S-8.


                                       8


<PAGE>   9

        9.2. Restrictions upon Resale of Unregistered Stock. Each Optionee
shall, if the Company deems it advisable, represent and agree in writing (i)
that any shares of Common Stock acquired by such Optionee pursuant to this Plan
will not be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to an exemption from registration under
said Ac, (ii) that such Optionee is acquiring such shares of Common Stock for
his own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and (iii) to
such other customary matters as the Company may request. In such case, no shares
of Common Stock shall be issued to such Optionee unless such Optionee provides
such representations and agreements and the Company is reasonably satisfied that
such representations and agreements are correct.

        9.3. ADJUSTMENTS. The number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
authorized for issuance under the Plan, as well as the price to be paid and the
number of shares issued upon exercise of outstanding Options, shall be subject
to adjustment by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to reflect any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
combination or exchange of shares or other similar event.

        9.4. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. (a) Each Optionee who exercises a
Nonstatutory Stock Option shall agree that no later than the date of such
exercise or receipt of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto he will pay to
the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding
payment of, any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to the transfer to him of such shares of Common Stock.

        (b) The applicable Option Agreement may provide that an Optionee may
satisfy, in whole or in part, the requirements of paragraph (a):

             (i) by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee for
        at least six months (or such shorter or longer period as the Committee
        may approve) having a Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of
        such delivery) equal to all or part of the amount to be so withheld, or

             (ii) by electing to have the Company withhold the requisite number
        of shares from shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the exercise of
        the Option giving rise to the tax withholding obligation provided,
        however, that

                 (A) the Optionee's election and the withholding pursuant
             thereto take effect during the period beginning on the third
             business day following the date of release for publication of the
             quarterly and annual summary statements of the Company's sales and
             earning's and ending on the twelfth business day following such
             date, and six months have elapsed since the date the Option was
             granted, or

                 (B) such election was irrevocably made by the Optionee and
             filed with the Committee in writing at least six months in advance
             of the date on which such withholding occurs.

The Committee may require, as a condition of accepting any such delivery of
Common Stock or any such election by the Optionee, that the Optionee furnish to
the Company an opinion of counsel to the effect that such delivery or election
will not result in the Optionee incurring any liability under Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


                                       9


<PAGE>   10

        9.5. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds from the sale of Common Stock
pursuant to Options granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the
Company and may be used for such corporate purposes as the Company may
determine.

        9.6. SUBSTITUTION OF OPTIONS. (a) The Committee may, with the consent of
the holder of any Option granted under the Plan, cancel such Option and grant a
new Option in substitution therefor, provided that the Option as so substituted
shall satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Option
is granted.

        (b) Options may be granted under this Plan in substitution for options
held by individuals who are employees of another corporation and who become
Employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company eligible to receive
Options pursuant to the Plan as a result of a merger, consolidation,
reorganization or similar event. The terms and conditions of any Options so
granted may vary from those set forth in the Plan to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Committee in order to conform the provisions of Options
granted pursuant to the Plan to the provisions of the options in substitution
for which they are granted.

        9.7. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be
sufficiently given only if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its principal place of
business, and to the Optionee at the address on file with the Company at the
time of grant hereunder, or to such other address as either party may hereafter
designate in writing by notice similarly given by one party to the other.

        9.8. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all determinations made and actions
taken hereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of
the Untied States of America, shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California and construed accordingly.

(1)  No cash dividends have been declared by the Company.

(2)  Income (loss) per share is computed using shares of common stock (as
     adjusted for the Company's 25% stock split in August 1995) expected to be
     issued in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization as discussed in Note
     17 to the consolidated financial statements, the weighted average shares of
     Common Stock issued outside the Plan of Reorganization, and in 1994 and
     1995, the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding during
     the period. The total shares of Common Stock expected to be issued in
     accordance with the Plan of Reorganization have been adjusted down to
     reflect the resolution of certain claims with creditors during the fourth
     quarter of 1996. Income (loss) per share has been restated for all periods
     to reflect the resolution of such claims. The Company adopted the
     provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS
     No.128"), "Earnings Per Share" in 1997 and restated all periods to conform
     to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

(1)  Income (loss) per share is computed using shares of common stock expected
     to be issued in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization as discussed in
     Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the weighted average
     shares of Common Stock issued outside the Plan of Reorganization, and for
     profitable quarters, the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants
     outstanding during the period. The total shares of Common Stock expected to
     be issued in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization have been adjusted
     down to reflect the resolution of certain claims with creditors during the
     fourth quarter of 1996. Income (loss) per share has been restated for all
     periods to reflect the resolution of such claims. The Company adopted the
     provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS
     No.128"), "Earnings Per Share" in 1997 and restated all periods to conform
     to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

(2)  The fourth quarter of 1997 includes charges of $1,151,000 relating to the
     write off of excess and obsolete inventory.

EXHIBIT 13.1.2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. Except for the
historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Annual
Report are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. There are certain important factors and risks, including the
rapid change in hardware and software technology, market conditions, competitive
factors, seasonality and other variations in the buying cycles of certain of the
Company's customers, the timing of product announcements, the release of new or
enhanced products, the introduction of competitive products and services by
existing or new competitors, the significant risks associated with the
acquisition of new products, product rights, technologies or businesses, MAI's
ability to retain technical, managerial and other personnel, and the other risks
detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including reports on
Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, that could cause results to differ materially from
those anticipated by the statements made herein. Therefore, historical results
and percentage relationships will not necessarily be indicative of the operating
results of any future period. See "Factors that May Affect Future Results", in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1998, working capital improved from a negative working capital
of $11,696,000 at December 31, 1997 to a negative working capital of $8,698,000.
Excluding unearned revenue (which will not give rise to cash disbursements) of
$10,702,000, the Company had working capital of $2,004,000 at December 31, 1998,
resulting in a current ratio of 1.11 to 1.0. Unearned revenue for 1997 was
$11,967,000, and working capital excluding unearned revenue was $271,000,
resulting in a current ratio of 1.02 to 1.0. Excluding unearned revenue, the
increase of $1,733,000 was primarily attributable to an increase in receivables
of $3,564,000.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $2,051,000 at December 31, 1997,
compared to $2,029,000 at December 31, 1998. Availability under the Company's
existing $5,000,000 secured revolving credit facility is based on a calculation
using a rolling average of certain cash collections. At December 31, 1998,
approximately $3,277,000 was available and drawn down under this facility, and
the term of the facility was renewable annually. Subsequent to December 31,
1998, the term was extended to April 30, 2002.

Net cash used in investing activities in 1998 totaled $2,323,000, mainly related
to software development costs and capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 1998 totaled $1,896,000, which is
comprised of $68,000 in the exercising of stock options and warrants, $1,917,000
in short-term borrowings, less $89,000 in repayments of long-term debt.

Stockholders' deficiency increased from a negative $666,000 at December 31,
1997, to a negative $2,366,000 at December 31, 1998, primarily as a result of a
net loss of $2,316,000 for the year. The Company has commitments in connection
with minimum guaranteed royalties in certain software products over the next two
years of $1,500,000 and $2,500,000 in 1999, and 2000, respectively. The Company 
also has lease commitments which require payments of $1,800,000 in 1999.

Although the Company has a net stockholders' deficiency of $2,366,000 at
December 31, 1998, the Company believes it will generate sufficient funds from
operations and obtain additional financing, as needed, in 1999 to meet its
operating and capital requirements. The Company's belief is based on an 
improving earnings trend, the extension after year end of the Company's 
short-term borrowings to a longer term arrangement and the Company's ability to 
secure additional capital, if needed.

As of February 28, 1999, the Company had issued and outstanding 10,837,908
shares of Common Stock.

</TABLE>

Revenue for 1998 was $62,238,000 compared to $70,978,000 in 1997 or a 12.3%
decrease. The Company continues to transition from its legacy business to the
sale of enterprise solutions as 72.0% of the Company's 1998 revenue resulted
from its enterprise solutions business as compared to 71.1% in 1997. The
Company's revenue from its sales of enterprise solutions in industries in which
it competes (hospitality, process manufacturing, gaming and other), decreased
10.8% compared to the prior year. Hospitality revenue increased 2.1% from
$32,720,000 in 1997 to $33,394,000 in 1998, largely due to increased software
sales. Gaming revenue decreased 41.5% from 1997 to 1998 due to lower unit sales.
Consistent with the Company's strategy to focus on providing software and
services to its vertical markets, the Company's legacy revenue (traditional
hardware contract service revenues and proprietary add-on sales) declined 16.1%
year over year, largely due to expected decreased volume.

Gross profit for 1998 increased to $29,690,000 (47.7%) from $27,282,000 (38.5%)
in 1997. The increase in overall gross margin for 1998, despite a decline in
overall revenue, is due to the higher margins associated with enterprise
solutions. Enterprise solutions gross profit remained consistent in 1998 to that
of 1997 despite a decline in revenue. This was due primarily to better pricing
in 1998.

Gross margin on hospitality sales remained consistent in 1998 to that of 1997.
Gross margins on gaming went from 47.3% in 1997 to 68.5% in 1998 due to improved
margins on hardware. Gross margins associated with the Company's legacy business
declined consistent with the Company's strategy to focus on providing software
and services to its vertical markets.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased 10.9% from
$26,698,000 in 1997 to $23,798,000 in 1998. The decrease is related to the
implementation of several cost reduction measures.

The Company incurred restructuring costs of $900,000 in 1997 in connection with
a restructuring plan to eliminate operations and related expenses which were not
required to support the Company's operations of software sales and professional
services. The costs were recorded to recognize severance, benefits and other
related costs for employees to be terminated. There were no comparable costs in
1998.

<PAGE>   5

Research and development costs were $5,583,000 in 1997, compared to $4,058,000
in 1998. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in costs capitalized in
1998, as certain of the Company's products had reached technological 
feasibility.

Amortization of intangibles was $2,331,000 in 1997 and $2,522,000 in 1998. This
represents the amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions of
HIS, CIMPRO and the remaining minority ownership (through the acquisition of
stock options) of Gaming Systems International.

Other operating expenses in 1997 and 1998 was principally from foreign exchange
losses, and a loss recorded in 1997 on a subsidiary held for sale in Venezuela.

Net interest expense was $1,080,000 for 1997 compared to $896,000 in 1998. The
decrease in 1998 is reflective of lower interest rates associated with the
Company's line of credit as compared to 1997.

The income tax provision reflects a tax provision for the Company's foreign
operations. The Company's income tax provisions in 1997 and 1998 results
primarily from profitable foreign operations in those years.

Revenue for 1997 was $70,978,000 compared to $64,164,000 in 1996, or a 10.6%
increase. The Company's revenue from its sales of enterprise solutions in
industries in which it competes (hospitality, process manufacturing, gaming and
other), increased 96.8% from 1996 to 1997. Hospitality revenue increased 86.6%
from $17,531,000 in 1996 to $32,720,000 in 1997 due to the acquisition of Hotel
Information Systems and the distribution rights of Lodging Touch. Revenue from
process manufacturing increased 269.6% from 1996 to 1997, primarily due to the
acquisition of CIMPRO in March 1997.

Consistent with the Company's strategy to focus on providing software and
services to its vertical markets, the Company's legacy revenue declined 46.8%
year over year (traditional hardware contract service revenues and proprietary
add-on sales).

Gross profit for 1997 was $27,282,000 (38.4%) which was up from $21,234,000
(33.1%) in 1996. The increase in overall gross margin from 33.1% to 38.4% was
due to higher gross margins from increases in software sales and professional
services. Gross margins in hospitality increased from 38.2% in 1996 to 51.6% in
1997. Gross margins associated with the Company's legacy business decreased from
33.3% in 1996 to 20.2% in 1997, primarily due to declining revenue as the
product mix in the hardware maintenance base changed and the Company's older
proprietary product customers installed new solutions no longer offered by the
Company. In recognition of those trends and the need for improved service
coverage for its new businesses, the Company entered into an outsourcing
agreement with Olivetti North America, Inc. and Olivetti Canada Ltd. in December
1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 23.5% from $21,622,000 in
1996 to $26,698,000 in 1997. The increase of $5,076,000 reflected the company's
significant investment in expending and rebuilding its hospitality sales and
marketing organization with the addition of new personnel; increased advertising
and promotion expense and, increased travel and entertainment in pursuit of
hospitality bookings.

Restructuring reversals of $244,000 in 1996 relates to a restructuring plan
prior to 1994. Restructuring costs of $900,000 in 1997 is in connection with a
restructuring plan to eliminate operations and related expenses which were not
required to support the Company's operations of software sales and professional
services. The costs were recorded to recognize severance, benefits and other
related costs for employees to be terminated.

Research and Development costs were $3,117,000 in 1996 compared to $5,583,000 in
1997. Research costs increased 79.1% primarily as a result of increased
development resources associated with the addition of HIS, Lodging Touch and the
general expansion of the Company's hospitality business.

The Company recognized charges for impaired goodwill and acquired in-process
technology associated with its acquisition of Hotel Information Systems and
MANBASE 8.0 in the amount of $17,310,000 in 1996. There were no such amounts in
1997. The goodwill impairment was due to discontinuance of product lines
resulting from the subsequent acquisition of software. In-process technology
charged to operations was due to certain acquired technology which was
determined to have no future alternative use or value other than in products not
yet developed for commercial release.

Other operating income for 1996 is comprised principally of a favorable
settlement of $7,434,000 net of legal costs and reserves with respect to the
Company's litigation concerning the 1992 failed sale of the Company's then
European subsidiaries. Other operating expense in 1997 primarily represents
foreign exchange losses, and a loss recorded on a subsidiary held for sale in
Venezuela.

Interest expense, net was $102,000 for 1996 compared to $1,080,000 in 1997. The
increase is attributed to $6,000,000 of indebtedness incurred associated with
the acquisition of CIMPRO in March 1997.

The income tax provision reflects a tax provision for the Company's foreign
operations. The Company's income tax provisions in 1996 and 1997 result
primarily from profitable foreign operations in those years.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") Nos. 130 and
131, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130") and "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), respectively
(collectively, the "Statements"). The Statements are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting
of comprehensive income and its components in annual financial statements. SFAS
131 establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information
about an enterprise's operating segments in its annual financial statements and
selected segment information in interim financial reports. Reclassification or
restatement of comparative financial statements or financial information for
earlier periods is required upon adoption of SFAS 130 and SFAS 131,
respectively. The Company adopted SFAS 130 and 131 in 1998.

In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures About
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This statement revises employers'
disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. This statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and restatement
of disclosures for earlier periods is required. The Company adopted SFAS No. 132
in 1998.

In June 1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 is effective for transactions entered into
after January 1, 2000. This statement requires that all derivative instruments
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge
transaction and the type of hedge transaction. The ineffective portion of all
hedges will be recognized in earnings. The Company is in the process of
determining the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have on its
results of operations and financial position.

In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") released Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition"
("SOP 97-2"). Among other things, SOP 97-2 eliminates the distinction between
significant and insignificant vendor obligations promulgated by SOP 91-1 and
requires each element of a software arrangement to meet certain criteria in
order to recognize revenue allocated to that element. Additionally, SOP 97-2
requires that total fees under an arrangement be allocated to each element in
the arrangement based upon vendor specific objective evidence, as defined. SOP
97-2 is effective for software transactions entered into by the Company in
fiscal 1998 and subsequent periods. The adoption in 1998 did not have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations.

On December 22, 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-9 "Software
Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions" ("SOP 98-9"). SOP 98-9
amends certain paragraphs of SOP 97-2 to require recognition of revenue using
the "residual method" with respect to certain transactions. The "residual
method" established by SOP 98-9 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
March 15, 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE RISKS

The Year 2000 compliance issue arises from the fact that a significant
percentage of the software utilized by United States businesses relies on
two-digit date codes to perform computations and decision-making functions.
Commencing on January 1, 2000, these computer programs may fail from an
inability to interpret date codes properly, misinterpreting "00" as the year
1900 rather than 2000. The Company has completed an evaluation of both its
information technology systems and its non-technology systems, such as equipment
containing microprocessors. The Company believes that all information technology
and non-technology systems in its corporate home office in Irvine, California
and in its branch or subsidiary offices in the United States and internationally
have been, or by March 31, 1999 will have been, modified to address Year 2000
issues. The Company estimates that the costs associated with implementing its
Year 2000 compliance plan for its corporate offices to be approximately $50,000.

The Company has designed and tested the most current versions of its products to
be Year 2000 ready. The Company has established a Year 2000 "task force" which
prepared and released its Year 2000 products readiness report on the Company's
"Web Pages" (www.maisystems.com and www.hotelinfosys.com) and plans to make
available to clients a copy of this report on a per request basis. The Company
launched a direct mail/fax campaign in February 1999 to all of its current
maintenance agreement clients as well as to all identifiable clients that may be
utilizing the Company's products, informing clients that the "Year 2000
Readiness Program" was available to be viewed at the indicated websites. The
mailing also provided clients the opportunity to request information regarding
the "Year 2000 Readiness Program" if they so desired. This mailing was executed
using the most current client database available. This notification went to
approximately 18,000 domestic customers as well as being faxed to approximately
4,000 international customers from the Company's international offices.


                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

The report breaks down the Company's products into four categories: "product is
ready," "product is scheduled to be tested," "product is not ready (but has some
Year 2000 functionality)," and "product will not be tested (and is not ready)."
At the present time, of the eighty-nine products listed in the Company's Year
2000 readiness report, twenty-four remain to be tested, and thirty-six fall in
the final category of products that will not be tested or ready. Of those
products in the latter category, many of these are older products that have been
replaced by newer versions of software. The Company is continuing to work on
making some of its older software Year 2000 ready. The software still under
modification is not required to be upgraded before the end of 1999. Nonetheless,
the Company believes that all modifications will be complete and ready for
distribution to its customers by the end of June, 1999. Although the Company has
been encouraging its customers to upgrade to current product versions, no
assurance can be given that all of them will do so in a timely manner, if at
all.

The costs incurred by the Company to date to implement its Year 2000 readiness
plan for its products have not been material to the Company's financial
condition or operations.

The Company also relies on certain software that it licenses from third parties,
including software that is integrated with internally developed software and is
used in the Company's products to perform key functions. The Company has
undertaken joint compliance review of such software in certain cases where the
product is believed to be material to the Company's financial performance, such
as its "Lodging Touch" product that is licensed from Enterprise Hospitality
Solutions. The Company believes that in such selective cases the licensed
software and any related integrated software product is Year 2000 compliant.
There can be no assurance, however, that all third party software presently
utilized by the Company will be free of errors and defects or be Year 2000
compliant.

The Company's present "reasonably likely worst case scenario" for Year 2000
problems involves potential product liability claims by substantial customers
involving collateral (business interruption) damages. Although the Company has
not experienced any product liability claims to date regarding Year 2000
compliance, there can be no assurance that errors or defects, whether associated
with Year 2000 functions or otherwise, will not result in product liability
claims against the Company in the future. The Company's license agreements with
customers typically contain provisions designed to limit the Company's exposure
to potential product liability claims; however, it is possible that such
limitation of liability provisions may not be effective under the laws of
certain jurisdictions. Defective products or releases could result in loss of
revenues, increased service and warranty costs and product liability claims, and
could adversely affect the Company's market penetration and reputation, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Since the Company spent a significant amount of time developing its Year 2000
readiness plan and evaluating its products for readiness, it does not believe
that an elaborate Year 2000 contingency plan is necessary. However, it is
reasonable to assume that some problems may be discovered in products the
Company currently believes to be Year 2000 ready. In this case, the Company has
the necessary resources available to address these expected problems and provide
the appropriate customers with updated software.

The Company is in the process of compiling information concerning the Year 2000
compliance of its key suppliers through the process of issuing questionnaires
and monitoring responses. In the event that any of the Company's key suppliers
do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the Company's
business or operations could be adversely affected. The Company's Year 2000
compliance plan includes encouraging and/or requiring Year 2000 compliance by
all key suppliers.

Despite the Company's efforts to become Year 2000 compliant, there is no 
assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant problems. There
may be delays in the Company's remediation efforts, a failure to fully identify
all Year 2000 problems in the systems, equipment or processes of the Company
or its vendors or customers, or unanticipated remediation expenses, all of which
could have material adverse consequences on the Company's financial position and
results of operations.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
MAI Systems Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MAI Systems
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1998. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MAI Systems
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

EXHIBIT 13.1.8  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

MAI Systems Corporation (the "Company" or "MAI") designs, sells, installs and
supports total technology solutions featuring complex wide and local area
networks primarily in the hospitality, process manufacturing and gaming
industries. The Company also provides a wide array of products and services to
its customers who continue to use its proprietary host-based computer systems,
including field engineering services, new and replacement equipment, operating
systems and software application products. These products and services upgrade,
enhance and integrate these legacy systems with currently available computer
technologies. Directly and through its arrangement with a third party service
provider, the Company provides on-site warranty service, re-manufacturing, and
depot service to third-party computer distributors and manufacturers.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on
September 6, 1984. The Company's name was changed from MAI Basic Four, Inc. to
MAI Systems Corporation on November 6, 1990.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its
domestic operations and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in
consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and
revenues and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales of network and computer equipment are generally recorded when the hardware
is shipped. Software revenue is primarily recorded when the application software
programs are installed. Hardware and software professional service fees are
recognized as income on a time-apportioned basis over the period in which the
services are provided. For certain fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized
upon installation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments which are readily
convertible into known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three
months or less. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

Inventories other than replacement parts are valued at the lower of cost or
market using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Replacement parts used for
hardware maintenance are valued at cost and are amortized to expense over the
period of benefit.


                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16

FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years for
furniture, fixtures and equipment and 3 to 5 years for equipment held for
demonstration and administrative purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated
useful lives.

GOODWILL AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net
assets acquired, and other intangible assets are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, generally five to
seven years. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held
and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets that
are to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair
value less cost to sell, except for assets covered by Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of
a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions." In 1996, the Company identified certain goodwill which was 
impaired (See Notes 6 and 7) and, accordingly, wrote down the related assets to
their fair market value.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option plans in
accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense
would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to recognize
as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on
the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows entities to continue to
apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income
(loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per share disclosures considering stock
option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method
defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to
apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional currency for all foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local
currency except for MAI de Venezuela, S.A. ("Venezuela"), which operated in a
highly inflationary economy and uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency
in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Accordingly, all
translation gains and losses for foreign subsidiaries, except Venezuela, and
gains and losses on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a
long-term nature, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a
separate component of stockholders' equity (deficiency).


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17

Net foreign exchange transaction losses for 1996 and 1997 were $107,000 and
$125,000 respectively. Net foreign exchange transaction gain for 1998 was
$81,000. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of certain software
products. In accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" capitalization of costs
begins when technological feasibility is established and ends when the product
is available for general release to customers.

Amortization is computed on an individual product basis and is recognized over
the greater of the remaining economic lives of each product or the ratio that
current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and
anticipated revenues for that product, commencing when the products become
available for general release to customers. Software development costs are
generally being amortized over a three-year period. The Company continually
assesses the recoverability of software development costs by comparing the
carrying value of individual products to their net realizable value.

The Company capitalized $736,000, $291,000 and $2,040,000 of software
development costs during 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires
entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and
liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value. SFAS No. 107 defines fair value of a
financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in
a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 1997 and 1998,
the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable,
accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and other liabilities approximate fair
value due to the short term nature of such instruments. The carrying value of
long-term debt, including the Company's line of credit, approximates fair value 
as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the
Company.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". This statement replaces the previously reported primary and fully
diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike
primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive
effects of options. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share. All income (loss) per share amounts
for all periods have been presented and restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128
requirements (see Note 19).

Basic and diluted income (loss) per share is computed using shares of common
stock issued to date and expected to be issued in accordance with the Plan of
Reorganization ("Common Stock") as discussed in Note 17.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1997 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS Nos. 130 and
131, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130") and "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131"), respectively
(collectively, the "Statements"). The Statements are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting
of comprehensive income and its components in annual financial statements. SFAS
131 establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information
about an enterprise's operating segments in its annual financial statements and
selected segment information in interim financial reports. Reclassification or
restatement of comparative financial statements or financial information for
earlier periods is required upon adoption of SFAS 130 and SFAS 131,
respectively. Application of the statement requirements did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or loss per share data as currently reported.

In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employees' Disclosures About
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This statement revises employers'
disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. This statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and restatement
of disclosures for earlier periods is required. The Company adopted SFAS No. 132
in 1998.

In June 1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 is effective for transactions entered into
after January 1, 2000. This statement requires that all derivative instruments
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge
transaction and the type of hedge transaction. The ineffective portion of all
hedges will be recognized in earnings. The Company is in the process of
determining the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have on its
results of operations and financial position.

In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") released Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition"
("SOP 97-2"). Among other things, SOP 97-2 eliminates the distinction between
significant and insignificant vendor obligations promulgated by SOP 91-1 and
requires each element of a software arrangement to meet certain criteria in
order to recognize revenue allocated to that element. Additionally, SOP 97-2
requires that total fees under an arrangement be allocated to each element in
the arrangement based upon vendor specific objective evidence, as defined. SOP
97-2 was effective for software transactions entered into by the Company in
fiscal 1998 and subsequent periods. Application of the statement requirements
did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or loss per share data as currently reported.

On December 22, 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-9 "Software
Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions" ("SOP 98-9").
SOP 98-9 amends certain paragraphs of SOP 97-2 to require recognition of revenue
using the "residual method" with respect to certain transactions. The "residual
method" established by SOP 98-9 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
March 15, 1999.

Inventories are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

The Company has purchased many products and components from single sources of
supply. Because the Company's current products are industry standard, the
Company believes that alternative sources of supply of similar products would be
available to the Company in the event of any interruption of delivery of a
single source supplier. During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company wrote-off
approximately $1,151,000 of inventory primarily due to excess and obsolete parts
which is reflected in direct costs in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.

NOTE 3 - ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

During 1996, the Company entered into negotiations with a third party to sell
100% of the common stock of its Venezuelan and Puerto Rican subsidiaries for
approximately $275,000. As a result, the net assets of the subsidiaries were
written down to their net realizable value resulting in a charge of $556,000 in
the fourth quarter of 1996. The net assets have been classified as current
assets and are included in prepaids and other assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997. During 1998, net assets of
$75,000 of the Venezuelan subsidiary were written off.

NOTE 5 - JOINT VENTURES

In July 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
Novo-Invest Casino Development for the purpose of marketing and selling the
Company's gaming software in Europe. In accordance with the joint venture
agreement, the Company invested $40,000 cash. This joint venture is organized
under the laws of Austria and is known as Gaming Systems International
Gessellschaft m.b.H. ("GSI Europe"). The Company has a 40% interest in the joint
venture and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

Effective August 9, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of Hotel Information Systems, Inc. ("HIS")
pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated June 30, 1996 (as amended July 10,

The net assets acquired from HIS are used in the business of software design,
engineering and service relating to hotel information systems. The net assets
also included subsidiaries of HIS in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Mexico.
The acquisition of HIS has been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. The total purchase price for HIS was $21,373,000, which included net
liabilities assumed of HIS of $7,873,000 and acquisition costs of approximately
$2,600,000.

The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

Included in the net liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of
HIS was $2,185,000 of debt. In 1996, subsequent to such acquisition, the Company
issued 122,919 shares of its Common Stock valued at $1,137,000 to repay certain
of the outstanding debt assumed.

During 1996, the Company entered into arbitration proceedings regarding the
purchase price of HIS. The Company placed approximately 1,100,000 shares of
Common Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of HIS in an escrow
account to be released in whole, or in part, upon final resolution of post
closing adjustments.

In November 1997, the purchase price for the acquisition of HIS was reduced by
$931,000 pursuant to arbitration proceedings. As a result, goodwill was reduced
by $931,000 and approximately 100,650 shares will be released from the escrow
account and returned to the Company. In addition, further claims relating to
legal costs and certain disbursements currently estimated at $650,000 are
presently pending. Resolution of such claims may result in release of additional
escrow shares to the Company. The amount and number of shares will be determined
based on the final resolution of such claims. Accordingly, as of December 31,
1998, the final purchase price has not been determined.

The Company will, as needed, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement and
related documents, issue additional shares of Common Stock in order that the
recipients ultimately receive shares worth a fair value of $9.25 per share
(subject to increase in such amount to approximately $10.84 per share). This
adjustment applies to a maximum of 590,785 shares of Common Stock. In April
1998, in accordance with the purchase agreement and related documents pursuant
to which the Company acquired HIS in August 1996, the Company issued 246,453
additional shares of Common Stock valued at par. As of December 31, 1998, the
fair market value of the Company's common stock was $2.69 per share, which would
result in approximately 1,792,139 additional shares being issued.

In connection with the acquisition of HIS, a restructuring plan was implemented
comprising an employee severance program, an employee relocation program and
excess facilities. An amount of $1,360,000 relating to this restructuring plan
was included in the cost of acquiring HIS. During the five-month period ended
December 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1997, approximately $274,000
and $400,000, respectively, of costs were paid. During 1997, approximately
$686,000 of the HIS restructuring reserves were reversed resulting in a
reduction of goodwill. As a result, the HIS restructuring reserves were fully
utilized or reversed during 1997.

GAMING SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL

In May 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 30% minority interest shares of
GSI for 98,462 unregistered shares of Common Stock, which were valued at
$960,000, and issued $1,175,000 of notes payable. The acquisition was accounted
for as a "step acquisition" using the purchase method of accounting. In
connection with the step acquisition of GSI, the Company recorded goodwill of
$1,970,000.

In March 1997, the Company acquired options to purchase 3.5% of GSI common stock
from two individuals in exchange for 14,930 unregistered shares of the Company's
Common Stock valued at $104,500 and notes payable of $104,500. The transaction
resulted in an increase in goodwill of $209,000.

In May 1998, in accordance with the stock purchase agreement and option
cancellation agreements pursuant to which the Company acquired the remaining 30%
minority interest and remaining options in GSI in May 1996 and March 1997,
respectively, the Company issued 45,424 additional shares of Common Stock valued
at par.

CIMPRO

On March 6,1997, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and assumed
certain liabilities of CIMPRO, which develops and markets process manufacturing
software, for $5,900,000 in cash and $328,000 of direct costs related to the
acquisition. To finance the acquisition of CIMPRO, the Company sold 400,000
shares of its Common Stock in a private placement for $6.50 per share and issued
$6,000,000 of 11% subordinated notes payable due in 2004 to an investment fund
managed by Canyon Capital Management LP ("Canyon"). Interest on the subordinated
notes is payable semi-annually commencing September 3, 1997.

In May 1996, the Company reacquired the distribution rights to MANBASE 8.0, a
manufacturing software application, from Sextant Corporation for approximately
$30,000 cash and the forgiveness of $500,000 accounts and notes receivable due
from Sextant. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded intangible
assets of $530,000. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $492,000 to the
intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 1996. The amount of impairment was
determined based upon projected discounted future cash flows.

ENTERPRISE HOSPITALITY SOLUTIONS

Effective October 1, 1996, the Company entered into an exclusive worldwide and
perpetual license agreement with Enterprise Hospitality Solutions ("Licensor")
for substantially all current and future versions of software, derivative works,
enhancements, modifications and improvements relating to the hotel, resort,
hospitality, or gaming industry products of Licensor.

In consideration for the rights and licenses granted to the Company by the
Licensor, a $1,000,000 license acquisition fee was agreed to be paid by the
Company. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had paid $675,000 of the license
acquisition fee and the outstanding balance of $325,000 was classified as
accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During 1998
the remaining balance of $325,000 was paid through the issuance of 110,639
shares of Common Stock.

The $1,000,000 license acquisition fee was capitalized and is being amortized
over a three-year period which commenced in 1997. As of December 31, 1997 and
1998, the unamortized balance of the license acquisition fee was $727,000 and
$364,000 respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

Additionally, under the license agreement, the Company shall pay the Licensor
royalties of 20% of net revenues subject to certain minimum royalties commencing
April 1997. Royalties paid for fiscal years 1997 and 1998 were approximately
$218,000 and $750,000, respectively. Minimum annual royalties payable to the

NOTES PAYABLE

On March 3, 1997, the Company issued $6,000,000 of 11% subordinated notes
payable due in 2004 to an investment fund managed by Canyon Capital Management
LP ("Canyon") with detachable warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at $8 per share. These warrants were exercisable and
callable (by the Company) under certain circumstances at any time within seven
years and the 11% subordinated notes may be used to exercise the warrants. The
Company recorded an original issue discount of $1,027,000 which represents the
fair value of the warrants at the time of issuance. The fair value of the
warrants was recorded as a reduction in the face value of the subordinated notes
and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the subordinated
notes. The unamortized balance of the original issue discount was $654,000 at
December 31, 1998.

In September 1997, the Company reduced the exercise price of 800,000 warrants
(750,000 related to the subordinated debt and 50,000 held by a related party -
see note 18) to $3.04 per share, which approximated fair market value of the
Company's Common Stock. As a result, holders of the warrants exercised such
warrants and acquired 800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $3.04 per
share. Such exercises were paid in cash, except that holders of warrants
relating to the subordinated debt, as allowed under the terms of the debt
agreement, applied $750,000 of the principal amount of the subordinated debt in
payment of a portion of the warrant exercise price.

TAX CLAIMS

Tax claims include pre-petition unsecured tax claims for income and property
taxes from various taxing authorities. Under the terms of the Plan of
Reorganization (see Note 17), such amounts are to be paid in full in cash in
annual installments over six years with interest at 6%. Upon agreement with the
respective taxing authority, tax claims are classified as debt, otherwise such
claims are classified as other accrued liabilities and other long-term 
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1997
and 1998. Currently, the Company is disputing tax claims of $162,000 of the 
remaining tax claims of approximately $600,000.

to a third party. Pursuant to the decision to outsource its field service
operations, the Company charged approximately $940,000 to selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations
in 1996 comprised of $434,000 of termination benefits to involuntarily
terminated employees and $506,000 associated with vacating certain business
premises relating to its Canadian operations.

Other long-term liabilities at December 31, 1997 and 1998 include disputed tax

The Company recorded certain deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1998 that
were previously omitted due to contingencies that were resolved during the year.
However, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance in the amount set forth
above for certain deductible temporary differences where it is not more likely
than not the Company will receive future tax benefits. The net change in the
valuation allowance for the years ended 1997 and 1998 was $2,324,000 and
$2,721,000, respectively.

The portion of the valuation allowance for which subsequently recognized tax
benefits will be applied directly to contributed capital is $213,000.

The Company has Federal and state net operating losses (NOL) carryovers of
approximately $54,500,000 and $6,000,000 respectively. These NOL carryovers will
expire in the years 2000 through 2018. The Company's utilization of a portion of
its NOL carryovers is subject to various uncertainties including an annual
limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The amount of this
limitation is not known at this time. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
recently completed its examination of the Company's former parent, BGLS Group
for the year 1993. The examination resulted in a favorable adjustment to the
Company's NOL carryovers. This adjustment has been reflected in the NOL
carryover amount discussed above. The IRS has asserted deficiencies for the
Company's separate federal income tax returns for the years 1988 and 1989. The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses and does not expect that any
liability resulting from those years will result in a material adverse effect on
its results of operations or financial position.

The Company has not provided for U.S. Federal income and foreign withholding
taxes on $1,500,000 of non-U.S. subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of
December 31, 1998, because such earnings are intended to be reinvested
indefinitely as defined under APB 23. If these earnings were distributed, the
additional tax liability of the Company would not be material.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount computed by
applying the Federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to income (loss) before
income taxes and extraordinary item as follows:

United States revenue from foreign affiliates consists of net intercompany sales
and services from the United States to the Company's foreign subsidiaries and is
eliminated from consolidated net revenue. Intercompany sales are based on
current selling prices or list prices less discounts. Discounts typically are
influenced by competitive pricing, market conditions and relative foreign
exchange rates.

NOTE 13 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" 
("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 requires segments to be determined and reported based on 
how management measures performance and makes decisions about allocating 
resources.

The Company has four reportable segments: Hospitality, Process Manufacturing, 
Gaming, and Legacy. The Hospitality segment markets three property management 
systems to the hospitality marketplace. The Process Manufacturing segment 
markets enterprise resource planning ("ERP") applications software for mid-size 
process manufacturers. The Gaming segment markets products for the gaming 
industry. The Legacy segment principally provides maintenance services to its 
installed base of customers.

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that were 
acquired independently. These segments offer products and services to different 
types of customers. They are managed separately because each business requires 
different technology and marketing strategies.

The Company evaluates performance of each segment based on operating income for 
fiscal years ending December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998.

As assets were not identified by business segment at December 31, 1996 and 
1997, that information is not presented below.

NOTE 14 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIENCY)

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In connection with the Plan of Reorganization (see Note 17), the Company adopted
the MAI Systems Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") which
became effective on January 27, 1994. Under the 1993 Plan, 1,250,000 authorized
shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance of options. Options under the
1993 Plan may be granted at exercise prices determined by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, provided that the exercise prices shall not
be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. At
December 31, 1998, 389,640 options under the 1993 Plan were exercisable and the
weighted-average exercise price of these options was $4.76

In July 1995, the Board of Directors adopted the Non-Employee Director's Stock
Option Plan (the "Director's Plan"). Under the Director's Plan, certain
directors who are not employees of the Company or any affiliate of the Company
are eligible to receive stock options. The Director's Plan provides each
non-employee director who is elected or appointed and duly qualified, be granted
automatically an option to purchase 31,250 shares of Common Stock. The option
vests in five equal installments, the first of which occurs on the six-month
anniversary of the non-employee director's election or appointment to the Board,
and thereafter on the date of each successive re-election to another annual
term. The Director's Plan further provides that each non-employee director is
also granted an option to purchase 6,250 shares of Common Stock on the date of
each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders at which the director is
reelected to the Company's Board. These options vest on the date of the annual
meeting of the Company's stockholders held during the fourth calendar year after
the date of grant at which the director is reelected to the Board. The number of
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Director's Plan is
125,000 shares. The exercise price shall not be lower than the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 1998, 6,250 options
under the Director's Plan were exercisable and the weighted-average exercise
price of these options was $2.38.


                                      -29-
<PAGE>   30

At December 31, 1998, there were 29,101 additional shares available for grant
under the stock option plans. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock
options granted during 1996, 1997 and 1998 was $4.90, $4.52 and $2.65,
respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions: 1996 -- risk-free interest rate
of 6.20%, volatility of 65% and an expected life of 5 years; 1997 and 1998 --
risk-free interest rate of 6.20%, volatility of 70% and an expected life of 5
years.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plans
and, accordingly, no compensation cost using the intrinsic value method has been
recognized for its stock option grants in the financial statements except as
noted below. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair
value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's
net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been reduced
(increased) to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

</TABLE>

Pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share reflects only options
granted in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Therefore, the full impact of calculating
compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the
pro forma net loss amounts presented above because compensation cost is
reflected over the options' vesting period of four years.

The following is a summary of stock option activity under the Company's stock
option plans:

At December 31, 1998, the range of exercise prices and weighted-average
remaining contractual life of outstanding options under the Company's stock
option plans were $1.65 - $9.75 and 8.32 years, respectively.

During 1997 and 1998, the Company accelerated the vesting period of certain
stock options granted to certain employees of the Company resulting in a new
measurement date of such options. The exercise prices of the options were below
the fair market value on the date of acceleration. Accordingly, earned
compensation of approximately $169,000 and $10,000 have been recorded for the
difference between the option exercise price and fair market value on the date
of acceleration in 1997 and 1998, respectively.

PREFERRED STOCK

On May 20, 1997, the Company authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares
of $0.01 par value preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to
issue the preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof without any further vote by the
holders of Common Stock.

NOTE 15 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

SAVINGS PLANS

On October 1, 1995, the Company established a Savings and Investment Plan
covering substantially all the Company's domestic employees (the "Domestic
Plan"). The Domestic Plan qualifies under Sections 401(k) and 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees are allowed to contribute from 1%
to 15% of their annual compensation. During 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company did
not make contributions to the Domestic Plan.

The Company's Canadian subsidiary offers to its employees a money purchase plan
for benefits accruing in respect of service from August 1, 1985 for
substantially all full-time employees (the "Canadian Plan"). Participating
employees are allowed to contribute between 2% and 6% of their annual
compensation. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the employee
contributions up to a maximum of 2% of annual compensation. Contributions to the
Canadian Plan by the Company were approximately $31,000, $12,000 and $3,500 for
1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

In April 1992, the Company elected to cease benefit accruals under the defined
benefit plan to current participants. The curtailment had no effect on the
accrued pension cost of the defined benefit plan.

Company contributions under this plan are funded annually. Plan assets are
comprised primarily of guaranteed investment/annuity contracts. Employee
benefits are based on years of service and the employees' compensation during
their employment.

The actuarially computed components of net periodic benefit cost included the 
following components:

NOTE 16 - RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Prior to 1994, a restructuring plan was implemented comprising employee
severance programs, excess facilities and lease termination costs. During 1996,
1997 and 1998 approximately $397,000, $119,000 and $37,000, respectively, of
costs and payments have been charged against this balance. During 1996, $244,000
was reversed due to changes in the underlying estimates for excess space and
credited to selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations in 1996. The remaining balance at December
31, 1997 and 1998 of $118,000 and $81,000, respectively, mainly comprised lease
obligations for excess space.

In September 1997, management authorized and committed the Company to a
restructuring plan to eliminate operations and related expenses which were not
required to support the Company's operations of software sales and professional
services. In connection with the restructuring plan, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $900,000 to recognize severance, benefits and other
related costs for the employees to be terminated. During 1997, the Company paid
approximately $875,000 of severance and termination benefits. The remaining
balance of $14,000 at December 31, 1998 mainly consists of remaining severance
and termination benefits and is expected to be paid in 1999.

NOTE 17 - PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

In connection with the Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in 1993,
shares of Common Stock are currently being distributed by the Company to its
former creditors pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") as approved
by United States Bankruptcy Court. The Company anticipates that approximately
6,820,338 shares of Common Stock will be issued under the Plan. As of December
31, 1998, 6,755,751 shares had been issued pursuant to the Plan.

Notwithstanding the confirmation and effectiveness of its Plan of Reorganization
pursuant to which the Company emerged from a voluntary proceeding under the
bankruptcy laws, the United States Bankruptcy Court continues to have
jurisdiction, among other things, to resolve disputed pre-petition claims
against the Company, to resolve matters related to the assumptions, assignment
or rejection of executory contracts pursuant to the Plan, and to resolve other
matters that may arise in connection with the implementation of the Plan.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment, some of which are in excess
of the Company's current and anticipated needs (and have been included in
accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the balance sheet at
December 31, 1997 and 1998) under both month-to-month and fixed-term agreements.

</TABLE>


Rental expense was approximately $1,961,000, $2,226,000 and $2,095,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June 1996, the Company received an $8,500,000 cash settlement relating to the
proposed sale of certain of its subsidiaries in 1993. The settlement, net of
$525,000 of legal fees, is included in other operating income in the 1996
consolidated statement of operations.

The Company has filed and will continue to file objections to claims asserted in
its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The majority of these claims would, if
upheld, give rise to allowed unsecured claims entitling the respective claimants
to distributions of Common Stock. A number of filed objections in respect of
secured claims, administrative claims, priority claims, tax claims, convenience
claims and cure claims were still outstanding at December 31, 1998. To the
extent the Company's objection to such claims are not sustained, the Company
will be obligated to pay such claims in a lump sum in the case of convenience
claims and administrative claims and in the case of secured claims, priority
claims, tax claims and cure claims, on a deferred basis over six to seven years,
depending on the type of claim, at an interest rate of 6% in accordance with the
Plan of Reorganization. The Company does not believe the outcome of these
objections to be material.

On October 5, 1998, CSA Private Limited ("CSA") filed a lawsuit against the
Company in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. CSA
is a shareholder of the Company. At the time of the Company's purchase of Hotel
Information Systems, Inc. ("HIS") in 1996, CSA was a shareholder of HIS and, in
connection with the purchase, the Company agreed to issue to CSA shares of the
Company's common stock worth approximately $4.8 million (plus accrued interest
until such time as the shares are issued and registered), and also granted CSA
certain demand registration rights with respect to such stock. CSA subsequently
requested registration of its shares and, in October, 1996, the Company filed an
S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
for the purpose of registering these shares. The SEC, however, required an
auditor's consent to the use of the HIS financial statements in the S-3, which
consent HIS's previous auditors were unwilling to provide. When this impediment
to registration was removed in April, 1998, CSA again demanded registration of
its shares. The Company has delayed registration based upon a provision in its
agreements with CSA allowing the Company to defer such registration under
certain circumstances provided that, during the period of such delay, an
increased interest rate is applied in calculating the dollar value of shares of
the Company's common stock to which CSA is ultimately entitled. In its lawsuit,
CSA alleges that the Company's failure to register its shares has deprived it of
its ability to realize approximately $5,000,000 from sale of the shares to which
it is entitled and requests (a) money damages in an amount not less than
$5,000,000, (b) injunctive relief directing the Company to register CSA's
shares, and (c) specific performance of its agreements with the Company.


                                      -34-
<PAGE>   35

The initial delay in registration of CSA's shares was the result of the refusal
on the part of HIS's previous auditors to consent to the inclusion of HIS's
financial statements in the S-3, a factor beyond the Company's control, and the
subsequent delay has been the result of the Company's good faith exercise of its
rights under its agreements with CSA to defer registration due to corporate
financings and other transactions, including financing in process (see Note 6).
Accordingly, the Company believes that it is in full compliance with all of its
obligations under its agreements with CSA, and is contesting the lawsuit. The
parties are currently conducting settlement negotiations.

The Company is also involved in various other legal proceedings which are
incident to its business. Management believes the ultimate outcome of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Year 2000 compliance issue arises from the fact that a significant
percentage of the software utilized by United States businesses relies on
two-digit date codes to perform computations and decision-making functions.
Commencing on January 1, 2000, these computer programs may fail from an ability
to interpret date codes properly, misinterpreting "00" as the year 1900 rather
than 2000.

It is possible that this issue may have adverse consequences to the Company's
information systems, the Company's operations and the third parties needed to
support the Company's business activities. It is also possible that the Year
2000 issue may adversely impact the Company's installed base and the
desirability of the Company's products and services.

It is not currently possible to estimate the extent to which Year 2000 issues
may impact the estimates used currently to determine the carrying amounts of
recorded assets or liabilities or in the disclosure of gain or loss
contingencies. It is also not possible to estimate the extent to which Year 2000
issues may impact the Company's future operations.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of a consulting agreement dated August 15, 1994 (amended as of
October 17, 1994, August 16, 1996, August 31, 1997 and August 31, 1998), between
Orchard Capital Corporation ("Orchard") and the Company, Orchard provides the
services of Richard S. Ressler as the Company's Chairman. Orchard was paid a
consulting fee of $20,000 per month through August 15, 1996 and $24,000 per
month thereafter. In addition, Orchard earned a bonus of $1,188,000 payable in
cash or freely transferable Common Stock (at the option of the Company) when the
closing trading price of the shares of the Company's Common Stock for 20
consecutive trading days ending on or after January 1, 1996 exceeded $4.00 per
share (adjusted for the 25% stock split - see Note 1). During the second quarter
of 1997, the Company issued 398,510 shares of Common Stock to Orchard to settle
the $1,188,000 bonus in full. In addition to such compensation, Orchard was
granted warrants in 1995 to purchase up to 625,000 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $1.90 per share and in March 1997, was granted additional warrants to
purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $7.50
per share, the fair market values of Common Stock on the dates of grant. The
warrants were fully exercisable on the dates of the respective grants. In
September 1997, Orchard exercised warrants to purchase 157,895 shares of Common
Stock at $1.90 per share and additional warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $3.04 per share (which warrants had been
temporarily re-priced in order to induce exercises), resulting in $452,000 cash
proceeds to the Company (see Note 9).

On February 13, 1995, BGLS distributed, by way of a special dividend, its
approximate 3,200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to holders of Brooke
Group, Ltd. common stock. Accordingly, the Company is no longer a subsidiary of
BGLS. As a result of the distribution, a former Chairman of the Company held
approximately 1,652,433 shares of Common Stock. During 1996, the Company
recognized $390,000 of revenues relating to the sale of network and computer
equipment and services in the normal course of business to an affiliated
Company. In November 1996, the Company also entered into a maintenance and
service contract with this related Company for $350,000 which was recognized
ratably over the succeeding 12-month period. In January 1997, the former
Chairman of the Company divested all of his shares of the Company's Common
Stock.

On February 3, 1999, the Company's Chairman purchased 201,106 shares of the
Company's Common Stock valued at $500,000.

</TABLE>

The computation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998 excludes the effect of incremental common shares attributable to
the exercise of outstanding common stock options and warrants because their
effect would be antidilutive (See Notes 14 and 17). Additionally, the
computation does not consider the additional shares of Common Stock which may be
issued in connection with past acquisitions (see Note 6).

                         CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of  Directors
MAI Systems Corporation

The audits referred to in our report dated March 23, 1999, included the related
financial statement schedule as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998, included in the
annual report on Form 10-K. This financial statement schedule is the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this financial statement schedule based on our audits. In our
opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We consent to incorporation by reference in the registration statement (No.
33-92194) on Form S-8, of MAI Systems Corporation of our report dated March 23,
1999, relating to the consolidated balance sheets of MAI Systems Corporation and
