                              THE ANNUAL MEETING

Date, Time and Place

     The Annual Meeting will be held on May 30, 1996, at 10:00 a.m., Central 
Daylight Time, at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest, 5801 Opus Parkway, 
Minnetonka, Minnesota 55343.

Purpose of Annual Meeting

     At the Annual Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked (i) to elect a Board 
of Directors and (ii) to ratify the selection of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the 
Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. The
Annual Meeting will also transact such other business, if any, as may properly
come before the Annual Meeting.

Record Date, Voting Rights, and Proxies

     The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on 
April 15, 1996 as the Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled
to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Only holders of outstanding 
shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Company at the close of 
business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the 
Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each holder of Common
Stock is entitled to one vote per share held of record on the Record Date. Each
holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Preferred Stock
held of record on the Record Date. The Shareholders of the Company are entitled
to cast their votes at the Annual Meeting in person or by properly executed
proxies. Shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock represented by properly
executed proxies received at or prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted in
accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies, unless such proxies
have been previously revoked.

     A proxy may be revoked before the meeting by giving written notice, in 
person or by mail, of revocation to the Secretary of the Company or at the 
meeting prior to voting in person. Unless revoked, properly executed proxies in 
which choices are not specified by the Shareholders will be voted "for" each 
item described in this Proxy Statement for which no choice is specified; upon 
all other matters, the persons named as proxies shall vote as they deem in the 
best interests of the Company. In instances where choices are specified by the 
Shareholders in the proxy, those proxies will be voted or the vote will be 
withheld in accordance with the Shareholder's choice. Shares of Common Stock and
Preferred Stock voted as abstentions on any matter will be counted as shares 
that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence 
of a quorum at the Annual Meeting and as unvoted, although present and entitled 
to vote, for purposes of determining the approval of each matter as to which the
Shareholder has abstained. If a broker submits a proxy which indicates that the 
broker does not have discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on one
or more matters, those shares will be counted as shares that are present and 
entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the 
Annual Meeting, but will not be considered as present and entitled to vote with 
respect to such matters.

Quorum

     The presence in person or by properly executed proxy of holders of a 
majority of all of the shares of outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock is
necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.


                                       2

Required Vote

     As of the Record Date, there were 48,137,139 shares of Common Stock
outstanding, held by approximately 500 holders of record holders, and 4,326,036
shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, held by approximately 90 holders of
record. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share held of
record on the Record Date. Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to one
vote per share held of record on the Record Date. The affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes represented by outstanding shares of Common Stock and
Preferred Stock, voting together as one class, is required to elect a Board of
Directors and to ratify the selection of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the Company's
independent auditors.

     THE MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING ARE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE 
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ 
AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, AND TO
COMPLETE, SIGN AND PROMPTLY RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY.

Proxy Solicitation

     The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of
Directors of the Company, and the expenses of solicitation, including preparing,
handling, printing and mailing of the proxy soliciting material, will be paid by
the Company. Solicitation will be made by use of the mails, and if necessary, by
telephone, telegram, cable, facsimile, advertising or personal interview. The
Company may use the services of its directors, officers or employees in
soliciting proxies. Directors, officers or employees who provide services in
soliciting proxies will not receive any compensation therefor in addition to
their regular compensation; however, the Company will reimburse any out-of-
pocket expenses incurred. The Company will request banks, brokerage houses and
other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward soliciting material to
their principals and to obtain authorizations for the execution of proxy cards,

     1989 STOCK OPTION PLAN.  The Company has adopted the 1989 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") pursuant to which a committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee") may award options to purchase shares of Common Stock to employees
and non-employees of the Company who perform valuable services for or on behalf
of the Company.  There were six employees of the Company eligible to participate
in the Plan as of April 1, 1995.  The purpose of the Plan is to encourage
certain employees of the Company to acquire a proprietary interest in the
Company and to create additional incentives for employees to promote the
financial success of the Company.  Under the Plan, options may be granted as
incentive stock options (to employees of the Company and its present or future
subsidiaries only) or options which do not qualify as incentive stock options.
The Plan was initially adopted by the Company in 1989 and amended in 1993 and in
1995.  A maximum of 50,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock are
currently reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the Plan.

     The Committee has the discretion to select the optionees and to establish
the terms and conditions of each stock option, subject to the provisions of the
Plan.  The exercise price for an incentive stock option granted under the Plan
must not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date
the option is granted.  The term of each stock option is determined by the
Committee but may not exceed 10 years from the date the option is granted.  If
the optionee directly or indirectly owns Common Stock possessing more than 10%
of the voting power of the classes of stock of the Company, the option price
must be at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock and the term
of each option cannot exceed five years.  Stock options granted under the Plan
are not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and are subject to various other conditions and restrictions.  The Plan may be
amended or discontinued by the Board of Directors of the Company at any time,
except that no amendment to the Plan may, without shareholder approval, (i)
increase the number of shares under the Plan, (ii) decrease the minimum option
price, (iii) extend the maximum option term, or (iv) modify the eligibility
requirements.

     As of December 31, 1995, the market price of the Common Stock was $.09 per
share and options to purchase 21,575,000 shares were outstanding under the Plan,
at a weighted average exercise price of .06 per share, of which options to
purchase 1,583,000 shares were exercisable as of such date.

     Under current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), upon the granting of either incentive stock options or
nonqualified stock options, no income will be realized by the optionee and no
deduction will be allowable to the Company.  At the time of exercise of an
incentive stock option for cash, no income will be recognized by the optionee
although the spread between the option price and the fair market value of the
shares on the date of exercise will be a tax preference item used in the
calculation of an optionee's alternative minimum tax.  At the time of exercise
of a nonqualified stock option for cash, the excess of the fair market value of
the shares acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid will be
ordinary income to the optionee and deductible by the Company (subject to the
usual rules on ordinary and reasonable compensation deductions).

             PROPOSAL NUMBER TWO -- RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

     The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders ratify
the appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the Company's independent public
accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.  Unless otherwise
instructed, the proxies will be so voted.  KPMG Peat Marwick LLP has served as
the Company's independent public accountants since March 17, 1995.  A
representative of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP is expected to be present at the Annual
Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if such representative
desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from
shareholders.  The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting is necessary to approve the
proposal.

     On March 17, 1995, the Board of Directors retained KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as
independent auditors for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1995, thereby replacing McGladrey & Pullen LLP as the Company's independent
auditors.  The reports of McGladrey & Pullen LLP on the Company's financial
statements for fiscal years 1994 and 1993 did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or
accounting principles.  During the same period, McGladrey & Pullen LLP's reports
on the Company's financial statements were modified to include an uncertainty
regarding substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.  The Company and McGladrey & Pullen LLP have not had any disagreements
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure during the Company's two most recent
fiscal years or during any subsequent interim period.


     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.
                             ____________________

                             RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     On June 15, 1994, Paul F. Burger, Mr. Donaldson's brother-in-law, loaned
$250,000 to Global MAINTECH, Inc. pursuant to the terms of a demand promissory
note.  The promissory note requires  Global MAINTECH, Inc. to repay the loan
within 180 days of any demand by Mr. Burger.  The promissory note bears an
interest rate of 13% and requires monthly interest payments.  In connection
with the loan, Global MAINTECH, Inc. granted a security interest in its parts
inventory to Mr. Burger.  As of March 15, 1995, the entire $250,000 principal
amount of the promissory note remained outstanding.  On December 28, 1995, Mr.
Burger agreed to cancel the June 15, 1994 promissory note.  In return, he
received $50,000 cash, a new $100,000 unsecured promissory note and 1,670,000
shares of common stock.  The new promissory note dated December 31, 1995 is for
the principal amount of $100,000, is payable in 12 monthly installments and
bears an interest rate of 13% per annun.  The Company began making payments
under this note in January 1996.
                                                                  
     Effective December 31, 1995 the Company sold its brokerage line of business
for $123,000 to Norcom Resources, Inc., a privately held corporation whose sole
shareholder is Michael Erickson, a former officer and a current shareholder of
the Company.  This sale resulted in a loss on disposal of $420,630.  Due to the
uncertainty of collection, the Company will treat payments under this sale as
income when received.  The sales proceeds are secured by up to 2,080,000 shares
of the Company's common stock held by Mr. Erickson.  In connection with the
sale, the Company removed this former officer as personal guarantor from a
certain note payable in the principal amount of $190,000.  The Company will
issue additional shares of common stock at $.06 per share to this individual to
the extent any debt is still outstanding under this note on which this former
officer is guarantor on March 31, 1997.

1934, as amended, a shareholder may require that certain proposals suggested by
the shareholder be voted upon at a shareholder meeting.  Information concerning
