                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

General

     The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Global MAINTECH, Inc.,
designs, develops and markets a computer system, consisting of hardware and
software, which monitors and controls diverse computers in a data center from a
single, master console. The Virtual Command Center ("VCC" or "VCC Unit") can
simultaneously manage mainframes, mid-range computers (e.g., UNIX, Microsoft and
Windows NT platforms) and networks. The VCC is designed to perform three primary
functions: (a) consolidate consoles (computer terminal with access to the
internal operation of a computer) into one monitor, a "virtual console" or
single point of control: (b) monitor and control the computers connected to the
virtual console; and (c) automate most, if not all, of the routine processes
performed by computer platforms and operating systems. It is an external system
that monitors and controls the subject mainframe and other data center computers
from a workstation-quality reduced instruction set computer ("RISC") which is
housed separately from the computers it controls. VCC users are able to reduce
staffing levels, consolidate all data center operations and technical support
functions to a single location regardless of the physical location of the data
center(s) and achieve improved levels of operational control and system
availability.

     In 1995, the Company installed it first three VCC Units in the data centers
of a large industrial and financial company. In 1996, the Company sold or leased
seven additional VCC Units and added two new customers. As of December 31, 1997,
the Company had sold or leased a cumulative total of twenty-one VCC Units to a
total of eight customers and had shipped four VCC Units for evaluation purposes
to three prospective customers. The Company's customers include: General
Electric Capital Corporation, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, Storage
Technology Corporation, Systems Management Specialists, Inc., Ferntree Computer
Corp. (Australia), SAP America, Inc., Deluxe Corporation, Bank One Services
Corp., BMC Software, Frontier Information Technologies, Inc. and Merrill Lynch &
Co. Inc.

Systems Management Software

     The VCC competes with internal monitoring software, which monitors certain
pieces of hardware and software applications in the computer in which such
internal software is installed, sold by other companies. Annual sales of
systems-management software were estimated to be $3 billion as of November 1996.
It is believed this market will grow to almost $9 billion by 2000, which would
represent a compound annual growth rate of approximately 30%.

     The Company believes the VCC also is well suited for use in enterprise
computing applications. Enterprise computing is the term associated with the
hardware and software which enables computer that contain different processors
to be linked together. The VCC has its own proprietary software and hardware
which allow it to form an enterprise computing management system. The VCC can be
used to monitor and control desktops, mid-range servers and mainframes. Sales of
all such UNIX-based systems in 1995 were approximately $19 billion.

     The Company is engaged solely in the business of manufacturing and selling
VCC Units. This line of business generated all of the Company's revenue in 1996
and 1997. Certain of the revenues represent maintenance service revenue and 
consulting revenue from its customer base.

                                       2

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in
1985 under the name Computer Aided Time Share, Inc. In 1995, the Company changed
its name to Global MAINTECH Corporation. As of December 31, 1997 the Company had
no employees and its operating subsidiary, Global MAINTECH, Inc., had 26
employees.

Condition and Results of Operations -- Recent Developments."

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

         The Company's headquarters is located at 6468 City West Parkway, Eden
Prairie, MN 55344, with additional office space located at 6542 City West
Parkway, Suite 200, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. The leases for each of these
locations terminate on July 31, 1998. The Company is currently negotiating a new
20 month lease for 10,500 square feet at 7574 Market Place Drive, Eden Prairie,
MN 55344 with a term beginning August 1, 1998. The Company anticipates
consolidating its headquarters into this office space at such time. In August
1996 the Company entered into an office lease with 1,545 square feet at 17310
Redhill Avenue, Suite 115, Irvine, CA 92714 and has a smaller office at 599 N.
Mathilda Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94086. These leases provide for monthly payments
through July 31 and August 31, 1998, respectively and are used as sales and
technical development offices. The Company is responsible for utilities,
insurance, and other operating expenses at all locations.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         None.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         There were no matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

Results of Operations

     The consolidated financial statements that accompany this discussion show
the operating results of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996. These results include the operations of Global MAINTECH, Inc., the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary.

     Sales from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 were
approximately $3,003,000 compared to sales from continuing operations of
$2,130,000 in the year ended December 31, 1996. Sales of the Virtual Command
Center or VCC were approximately $2,138,000 in 1997 compared to approximately
$1,797,000 in 1996. Maintenance fees were approximately $702,000 in 1997 on
previously sold systems. Revenue in 1997 also included approximately $132,000 of
consulting revenue and $30,000 from sales of miscellaneous computer parts.
Revenue in 1996 related to maintenance, consulting, and other activities totaled
approximately $332,000. These revenue activities reflect the installation of a
cumulative total of 21 VCC units with eight customers compared to a cumulative
total of 10 VCC units with three customers in 1996. The gross margin on sales
was approximately 75% in 1997 compared to 71% in the year ended December 31,
1996. The increase in gross margin in 1997 is primarily related to the increase
in maintenance fees in 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative costs for the year ended December 31,
1997 were approximately $1,649,000 compared to approximately $962,000 for the
same period in the prior year. This $687,000 increase is related to a $235,000
increase in salary expense which reflects an increase in paid employees which
grew during the year from 16 to 26. Advertising, travel and entertainment costs
increased $134,000 and $97,000, respectively in the year ended 
1997 versus 1996. This reflects the increased activities in the business:
marketing and travel expenses are directly related to increased selling
activities. Nearly all the other "S,G&A" costs increased by amounts ranging from
$84,000 to $15,000 including professional and technical costs, depreciation
expense, and supplies, insurance, rent
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
and utilities costs. These increases are all primarily related to increased
business activities of the Company. Professional and technical expenses which
include legal, accounting and investor relations expenses increased due to
additional governance costs and a recovery of reserves which offset such
expenses in 1996. There were no new litigation expenses in either 1997 or 1996.
Depreciation expense increased as a function of the increase in equipment
purchases for new employees. Office and warehouse supplies, insurance, rent and
utilities all increased due to additional employees and additional offices.
Insurance expense in 1996 was also unusually low due to an insurance refund
received in 1996. Research and development expenses in 1997 and 1996 relate to
the ongoing maintenance of existing software and comprise salaries and
consulting fees for technical expertise. In 1997 this cost reflects fees paid of
nearly $100,000 to a technical search firm hired to find additional technical
employees.

     Non-operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 1997 consisted of
interest expense, interest income and amortization of deferred debt issue costs
indicated as "Other". In the last six months of 1997 interest expense includes
only the cost of the $2,000,000 of subordinated debt issued by the Company on
June 19, 1997. In the prior year interest expense represented the costs of the
Company's convertible subordinated debentures, notes payable to vendors, a bank,
and individuals, the principal amount of which totaled approximately $380,000 at
December 31, 1996. Interest income in 1997 is the result of short-term
investments of excess cash. Amortization ($44,294 annually on a straight-line
basis over five years) of deferred debt issue costs of $221,470 relates to the
issuance of $2,000,000 of subordinated debt.

     Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1997
was approximately $302,000 compared to approximately $163,000 provided by such
activities in the year ended December 31, 1996. During the year ended December
31, 1997 operating funds of approximately $662,000 were provided by net income
prior to depreciation/amortization. This increase was more than offset by a use
of operating funds for assets including inventory, accounts receivable, and
prepaid expenses of approximately $760,000 and for short-term liabilities of
approximately $204,000.

     Cash used for investing activities in the year ended December 31, 1997 of
approximately $2,270,000 reflects investments of approximately $780,000 in
capitalized computer software development costs, which represent costs incurred
after technological feasibility has been established in connection with the
development of enhancements to one or more particular software programs, and
approximately $109,000 in software licenses and patent costs. Additionally, the
Company invested approximately $780,000 in sales-type leases covering the
Company's products, purchased approximately $362,000 of property and equipment
and invested approximately $163,000 in operating leases covering the Comapny's
products. The Company also invested $75,000 in a software company due in 1998.
In 1996 the Company invested approximately $473,000 in capitalized computer
software development costs, $68,000 in patent costs and purchased $37,000 of
property and equipment.

     Net cash of approximately $4,266,000 was provided by financing activities
in the year ended December 31, 1997. This is the result of net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock of $2,768,000 primarily through two separate private
placements at per share prices of $0.75, $1.40, and a net issuance of long-term
notes payable of $2,000,000. These proceeds were partially offset by payments of
short-term notes payable of $320,000 and disbursements of approximately $212,000
for the issuance of new debt in the year ended December 31, 1997. In the year
ended December 31, 1996 cash was provided by financing activities of
approximately $516,000. This is the result of approximately $675,000 of proceeds
from the issuance of common stock offset by decreases in short-term and long-
term notes payable of approximately $159,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of December 31, 1997, the Company had positive working capital of
approximately $2,884,000 compared to negative working capital of approximately
$400,000 as of December 31, 1996. The positive working capital as of December
31, 1997 is primarily due to the issuance of common stock and five-year
subordinated debt and the Company's profitability during 1997. As of December
31, 1996, the Company was delinquent in principal payments of $283,000 of debt.
The Company resolved such delinquencies during 1997.

     Presently, the Company believes it has sufficient working capital to pay
its current liabilities. In addition to the proceeds received from the debt and
equity issuances discussed above, the Company believes its working capital will
continue to improve as the Company's profitability improves. This depends on the
Company's ability to collect its accounts receivable and to make sales
sufficient to realize the full value of its current inventory. Since the Company
has recently achieved gross margins of approximately 70% on its sales and has
not experienced any bad debts on its accounts receivable, management believes
the Company's financial health will continue to improve as additional sales are
realized. To that end, the Company has continued to purchase additional
inventory in anticipation of
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
additional sales. Such profitability also has improved the Company's access to
the capital markets. Nevertheless, the Company can provide no assurance as to
its continued profitability and access to the capital markets.

     During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company's liquidity and
capital resources were substantially improved. The Company's operating plan for
the year ending December 31, 1998 anticipates a substantial increase in sales
over the year ended December 31, 1997 with a commensurate increase in net
income. As a result this operating plan projects a significant increase in the
liquidity and capital resources of the Company. While the Company believes in
the viability of its operating plan and currently anticipates that its operating
plan will be achieved, there can be no assurances to that effect.

Year 2000 Issue

     The Company has analyzed the potential effect of the year 2000 issue on
both the system software included in the Company's equipment and on application
software licensed or purchased by the Company and used in its internal
operations. The Company has tested all of the system software included in its
products and determined that it will not be affected. In addition, the Company
has requested and received documentation from vendors supplying software for its
primary business application addressing year 2000 compliance. In all cases,
vendors responses indicated that their applications were either currently year
2000 compliant or that they would be compliant by the end of 1998, although the
Company has not independently tested these applications for compliance. Based on
this analysis, the Company does not anticipate a material cost associated with
its systems relative to the year 2000 issue.

Recent Developments

     On February 27, 1998 the Company purchased certain software and other
assets relating to the system software business of Infinite Graphics
Incorporated ("IGI"), a Minnesota corporation based in Minneapolis. The
acquisition will be recorded as an asset purchase. The acquisition agreement
provides for an initial payment of $500,000 and additional payments of up to
$3,500,000. The payment of up to $3,300,000 of this additional payment is
contingent on the future net income of this business segment and is determinable
as of May 31, 1999. In the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 the unaudited
revenue of IGI's software segment was $1,683,000 and the gross margin was 
$621,000.

     The acquired software and assets will be used by the Company to design,
assemble and market computer-aided design and manufacturing software systems
that operate on a variety of mid-range and personal computer platforms.

     Assets purchased in the acquisition include inventory, machinery and
equipment, furniture and fixtures, a perpetual exclusive software license of a
majority of the IGI software products used in the system software business and a
non-exclusive license of certain software used in IGI's remaining business
segment. IGI will reimburse the Company for the liabilities of IGI explicitly
assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition. The Company also
agreed to satisfy IGI's unrecorded service obligations to the software end users
in return for which the Company expects to receive support payments from such
end users.

     In addition, in February 1998 the Company began a 400,000 share private
placement of common stock at $1.90 per share and had issued 221,000 shares as
of March 23, 1998. Maven Securities, Inc. acted as the placement agent wherein
the Company agreed to pay the placement agent a 10% commission, a 3% fee for
expenses and to issue to such agent a warrant to purchase up to 10% of the
number of shares of common stock issued in connection with such offering at an
exercise price of $1.90 per share. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to
this issuance are exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS: Global MAINTECH, Inc., the Company's principal operating
subsidiary, produces and assembles a computer software and hardware product that
it sells as a console consolidation and console management solution to the
systems and network management marketplace primarily in the United States. The
product is called the Virtual Command Center ("VCC").

The VCC is a tool designed to do three functions: the first is to consolidate
consoles (computer terminals with access to the internal operation of a
computer) into one monitor, a "virtual console" or single point of control; the
second is to monitor and control the computers connected to the virtual console;
and, the third is to automate most, if not all, of the routine processes
performed by computer operators in data centers. The VCC can be operated from a
remote location and accepts multiple different computer platforms and operating
systems. It is an external system that monitors and controls the subject
mainframe and other data center computers from a workstation quality RISC
computer, which is housed separately from the computers it controls. VCC users
are able to reduce staffing levels, consolidate all data center operations and
technical support functions to a single location regardless of the physical
location of the data center(s) and achieve improved levels of operational
control and system availability.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Global MAINTECH Corporation and its operating subsidiary, Global
MAINTECH, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: Effective for 1997, the Company implemented SFAS 
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information about 
Capital Structure. The effect of SFAS 128 is described below. SFAS 129 
incorporated several existing disclosure requirements on capital structure into 
a single accounting standard and had no effect on the Company's reporting.

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, is effective for the Company for
all periods reported after December 31, 1997. This standard prescribes a new way
of reporting and displaying the balances of and changes in certain equity
accounts. SFAS 130 does not affect the measurement or accounting for these
accounts. By its nature, SFAS 130 will, when implemented, have no effect on the
Company's reported operations or financial position. The Company is considering
alternative presentations to meet the new requirements.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

INVENTORY: Inventory is stated on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis at the
lower of cost or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment is recorded at cost and comprised
primarily of computer and office equipment. Depreciation is provided for
principally using the double declining balance method, based on the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets which generally have lives of three years.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenue from product sales is recognized upon the latter of
shipment or final acceptance. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company
receives customer payments before shipment or acceptance or before maintenance
revenues are earned. The Company sells maintenance agreements which require
minor updates of software to be delivered to the customers free of charge. New
versions of the Company's software representing a major upgrade are not a part
of the maintenance agreements. The Company expenses the costs of minor updates
to its software as incurred.

The Company recogizes revenue from leasing activities in accordance with SFAS
No. 13, Accounting for Leases. Accordingly, leases that transfer substantially
all the benefits and risks of ownership are accounted for as sales-type leases.
All other leases are accounted for as operating leases.

Under the sales-type method, profit is recognized at lease inception by
recording revenue and cost. Revenue consists of the present value of the future
minimum leae payments discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Cost
consists of the equipment's book value. The present value of the estimated value
of the equipment at lease termination (the residual value), which is generally 
not material, and the present value of the fudture minimum lease

                                       14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payments are recorded as assets. In each period, interest income is recognized
as a percentage return on asset carrying values.

The Company is the lessor of equipment under operating leases expiring in
various years. The cost of equipment subject to such leases is recorded as
leased equipment and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
service life of the equipment. Operating lease revenue is recognized as earned
over the term of the underlying lease.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Under the criteria set forth in SFAS No.
86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or
Otherwise Marketed, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the
establishment of technological feasibility of the software. The establishment of
technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of
these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain
external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross
product revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware
technology. Capitalized software development costs are amortized utilizing the
straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the software not to
exceed three years.

The carrying value of a software development asset is regularly reviewed by the
Company and a loss is recognized when the unamortized costs are not recoverable
based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software.

OTHER ASSETS: Other assets is comprised of patents, capitalized software license
fees, and capitalized debt issuance costs. Patents and capitalized software 
license fees are stated at costs and are amortized over three years or over the 
useful life of the license using the straight-line methods. Capitalized debt 
issuances costs are stated at cost and are amortized over the term of the 
related debt agreement. Recorded amounts for patents and license fees are 
regularly reviewed and recoverability assessed. The review considers factors 
such as whether the amortization of these capitalized amounts can be recovered 
through forecasted undiscounted cash flows.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION: The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements
SFAS No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation. As
permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and
related interpretations in accounting for is plans. Accordingly, no compensation
expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: SFAS 128 Earnings per Share, became effective to the
Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 and requires restatement of all
earnings per share amounts presented for prior periods. Under the new standard,
primary earnings per share will no longer be presented. Basic earnings per share
will represent earnings, reduced by any dividends on preferred stock, divided by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting
period. Diluted earnings per share (formerly called "fully diluted") will
represent earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding plus shares derived from other potentially dilutive
securities. For the Company, potentially dilutive securities include "in the
money" stock options and warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock
and the amount of common shares which would be added by conversion of the
outstanding convertible preferred stock. The number of shares added for stock
options and warrants is determined by the treasury stock method, which assumes
exercise of these securities and the use of any proceeds from these actions to
repurchase a portion of these shares at the average market price for the period.
When the results of continuing operations are a loss, other potentially dilutive
securities will not be included in the calculation of loss per share.

No adjustments to net income presented on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations were made in the determination of earnings per share.

INCOME TAXES: Deferred taxes are provided on liability method for temporary
differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.

FAIR VALUE OF INSTRUMENTS: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that
approximate estimated fair values.

USE OF ESTIMATES: Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts previously reported in 1996 have been 
reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

NOTE 2.  RECOVERY FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATION

The Company's Board of Directors made the decision to discontinue that portion
of the operations which brokered and sold parts for IBM mainframe computers in
1995. Effective December 31, 1995 these operations were sold to Norcom
Resources, Inc. ("Norcom") for $123,000. A portion of the sale included a
$70,000 note receivable from Norcom which the Company treated as uncollectible.
However, in March 1997 the Company collected the full amount of such note
receivable and recorded a recovery related to the discontinued operation.

per year. Expenses associated with the original issuance of the unconverted
debentures were fully amortized as of July 1, 1996.

</TABLE>

The Company issued subordinated notes payable in the form of two $1,000,000
notes payable to Mezzanine Capital Partners, Inc. and Marquette Bancshares,
Inc., respectively. The interest rate of 14% is fixed for the term of the notes.
Installments of $100,000, $200,000, $300,000, $300,000, and $1,100,000 are due
for the years 1998 through 2002, respectively. The notes are subject to a 5%
prepayment penalty through June 30, 1998 and 4% prepayment penalty from July 1, 
1998 through June 30, 1999 and may be prepaid without penalty thereafter. The
Company incurred costs related to the issuance of this debt in the amount of
$221,470 which includes the estimated fair value of warrants to purchase a total
of 530,000 shares of common stock at $1.80 per share that were issued in
connection with the issuance of notes payable. These costs are being amortized
on a straight-line basis over the five year term of such debt.

NOTE 8.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

COMMON STOCK WARRANTS: The Company issued warrants in 1997 in conjunction with
common stock issued pursuant to the Private Placement Memorandum dated November
25, 1996. These warrants are exercisable at $0.75 per share and expire on
February 28, 2002. During 1997 the Company also issued warrants pursuant to a
subsequent private placement of common stock in June 1997, which are exercisable
at $1.40 and expire on June 6, 2002. An additional 530,000 warrants were issued
in 1997, which are exercisable at a per share price of $1.80 and expire in the
year 2002. These warrants were issued in connection with the $2,000,000 of
subordinated debt issued in June 1997. The total warrants outstanding as of
December 31, 1997 was 1,724,298. Such warrants are exercisable at a weighted
average price of $1.94 per share and expire in 2000 through 2004.

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS: The Company's stock option plan ("Plan"), provides for
granting to the Company's employees, directors and consultants, qualified
incentive and nonqualified options to purchase common shares of stock. The Plan
was amended during 1995 to increase the number of aggregate options that can be
issued to

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10,000,000 shares of common stock. Qualified incentive options must be granted
with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of
grant. Nonqualified options must be granted with exercise prices equal to at
least 85% percent of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.

The Company applies APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock options. As a result no
compensation expense has been recognized for stock-based compensation plans. Had
the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant
date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of
Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced by approximately $18,000 in 1997 and by an immaterial amount
in 1996. The Company made this calculation using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 113%, risk-free
interest rate of 5.5%, and an expected life of 5 years.

This pro-forma effect does not include the compensation cost of stock options
currently issued but which do not vest until future years nor does it include
the compensation cost of stock options issued prior to 1995. Therefore, the full
impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is
not reflected in the pro-forma net income amounts presented above.

Information with respect to stock options under the plan are summarized as
follows:

NOTE 10. OPERATING LEASES

COMPANY AS LESSOR: The Company leases equipment, primarily VCC units, under 
noncancelable operating leases expiring in various years. The cost of equipment 
subject to such leases is recorded as leased equipment.

The operating lease payment stream related to leases initiated in 1996 was
assigned to a third party, on a non-recourse basis, for a lump sum payment to
the Company in 1996. The present value of the cash received was recorded as
deferred revenue and is being recognized into revenue over the term of the
underlying leases. These underlying leases terminate in 1997 and 1998. Deferred
revenue recorded by the Company related to these leases as of December 31, 1997
and 1996 was approximately $20,000 and $116,000, respectively. Future minimum
lease payments to be received for operating leases in which the payment stream
has not been assigned to a third party are $15,192, $15,192 and $11,224 for
1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively.

COMPANY AS LESSEE: The Company has operating leases for certain development
related IBM computers, office equipment and its office premises. The rental
payments under these leases are charged to expense as incurred. All the leases
provide that the Company pay taxes, maintenance, insurance, and other operating
expenses applicable to the leases. Lease expense in 1997 and 1996 was
approximately $112,000 and $103,000, respectively. The future minimum lease
payments are approximately $94,000, $22,000 and $2,000 for the years 1998, 1999
and 2000, respectively.

NOTE 11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On February 27, 1998 the Company purchased certain software and other assets
relating to the system software business of Infinite Graphics Incorporated
("IGI"), a Minnesota corporation based in Minneapolis. The acquisition will be
recorded as an asset purchase. The acquisition agreement provides for an initial
payment of $500,000 and additional payments of up to $3,500,000. The payment of
up to $3,300,000 of this additional payment is contingent on the future net
income of this business segment and is determinable as of May 31, 1999. In the
twelve months ended December 31, 1997 the unaudited revenue of IGI's software
segment was $1,683,000 and the gross margin was $621,000.

The acquired software and assets will be used by the Company to design, assemble
and market computer-aided design and manufacturing software systems that operate
on a variety of mid-range and personal computer platforms. Assets purchased in
the acquisition include inventory, machinery and equipment, furniture and
fixtures, a perpetual exclusive software license of a majority of the IGI
software products used in the system software business and a non-exclusive

license of certain software used in IGI's remaining business segment. IGI will
reimburse the Company for the liabilities of IGI explicitly assumed by the
Company in connection with the acquisition. The Company also agreed to satisfy
IGI's unrecorded service obligations to the software end users in return for
which the Company expects to receive support payments from such end users.

In addition, in February 1998 the Company began a 400,000 share private
placement of common stock at $1.90 per share and had issued 221,000 shares as of
March 23, 1998. Maven Securities, Inc. acted as the placement agent wherein the
Company agreed to pay the placement agent a 10% commission, a 3% fee for
expenses and to issue to such agent a warrant to purchase up to 10% of the
number of shares of common stock issued in connection with such offering at an
exercise price of $1.90 per share. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to
this issuance are exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                 Escrow Payment promptly shall be released to IGI; or (C) in
                 the event none of the contingencies described in (A) or (B)

                 month following the Closing Date, then the Escrow Payment

                 disbursed to IGI) and (C) minus any deferred revenue liability
                 or vacation liability assumed by GMC pursuant to Section 2.7 of

mutual agreement of the parties or pursuant to arbitration. If GMC does not pay
the Earn Out Payment to IGI within such 30-day period, then the License
Agreement shall automatically terminate, ownership of the Transferred Assets
will automatically revert to IGI without further action by either party and IGI
may seek specific enforcement of the arbitrator's decision regarding payment of
the Earn Out Payment in any court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to Section
10.2 of this Agreement. Furthermore, in such event, GMC will execute such
agreements and other instruments and perform such acts as IGI may reasonably
request to vest all right, title and interest in the 

                                      -10-

Transferred Assets in IGI. Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 6.7,
payment of the Earn Out Payment by GMC to IGI is subject to the terms of Section
10 of the License Agreement.

                 6.7 SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS; FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party agrees
to (a) cooperate fully with the other party, (b) execute such further
instruments, documents and agreements, (c) give such further written assurances
to evidence the transaction contemplated hereby and (d) make physical delivery
of any tangible Transferred Assets not already delivered or made reasonably
available to GMC as may be reasonably requested to evidence and reflect the
transactions described herein and contemplated hereunder; provided, however,
that any such request shall be at the expense of the party making such request
and shall be accomplished by the party making such request taking all necessary
action to minimize the effort required by the party receiving such request.

                 6.8 BULK SALES. GMC hereby agrees to waive the requirement, if
any, that IGI comply with any bulk transfer law which may be applicable to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that IGI agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless GMC with respect to any noncompliance with such
laws and GMC's waiver with respect thereto.

         Section 7. INDEMNIFICATION.

                 7.1 AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY. IGI agrees to, and hereby does,
indemnify and hold GMC harmless against and in respect of any loss, cost,
expense, claim, liability, deficiency, judgment or damage, including reasonable
legal fees and expenses (individually, a "GMC Loss"; and collectively, "GMC
Losses") incurred by GMC as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of a
representation or warranty of IGI contained in this Agreement. Similarly, GMC
agrees to, and hereby does, indemnify and hold IGI harmless against and in
respect of any loss, cost, expense, claim, liability, deficiency, judgment or
damage, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (individually, an "IGI
Loss"; and collectively, "IGI Losses") incurred by IGI as a result of any
inaccuracy in or breach of a representation or warranty of GMC contained in this
Agreement.

                 7.2 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

                 (a)  In the event that GMC or IGI shall incur or suffer
         a GMC Loss or an IGI Loss, respectively, in respect of which
         indemnification may be sought by such party pursuant to the provisions
         of this Article 7, such party shall assert a claim for indemnification
         by written notice (a "Notice") to the other party briefly stating the
         nature and basis of such claim. In the case of Losses arising by reason
         of any third-party claim, the Notice shall be given within 30 days of
         the filing or other written assertion of any such claim against the
         first party.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
                 (b) In the case of third-party claims for which indemnification
         is sought, the indemnifying party shall have the option (i) to conduct
         any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith, (ii) to take
         all other steps to settle or defend any such claim and (iii) to employ
         counsel to contest any such claim or liability in the name of the
         indemnified party or otherwise; provided, however, that the
         indemnifying party shall notify the indemnified party of its intentions
         with respect to any of the foregoing within 30 days after receipt of
         notice of any such claims. In any event, the indemnified party shall be
         entitled to participate at its own expense with its own counsel in any
         proceedings relating to any third-party claim, including without
         limitation settlement negotiations. The parties agree to cooperate
         reasonably with each other in connection with the defense of any claim.
         IGI will have no liability to GMC for any breach of representations and
         warranties based on (i) modification of the Exclusive Software and the
         Nonexclusive Software or (ii) the combination or use of the Exclusive
         Software and the Nonexclusive Software with software or any equipment
         or process not furnished by IGI if such infringement would have been
         avoided by the use of the Exclusive Software and the Nonexclusive
         Software alone.

                 7.3 SOLE REMEDY. The provisions of this Article 7 and
Section 10.2 constitute the sole remedy of a party for any breach of a
representation or warranty by the other party.

         Section 8. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. The obligations of GMC under
Article 2 are subject to the fulfillment, on or before the Closing, of each of
the following conditions, unless GMC agrees in writing to waive such conditions:

                 8.1 ASSIGNMENT OF ASSUMED CONTRACTS. IGI shall have caused the
Assumed Contracts to be assigned to GMC and shall deliver to GMC evidence of
such assignments, in form and substance satisfactory to GMC.

                 8.2 APPROVAL OF TRANSITION TEAM. The proposed members of the
Transition Team shall be acceptable to GMC.

business exists immediately after the Earn Out Period, unless GMC consents to
the sale of such software, except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3.1 of
the License Agreement.

         Section 10. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                 10.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard
to its conflicts of law rules.

                 10.2 ARBITRATION.

                 (a) IN GENERAL. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
         any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
         or breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration administered by the
         American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules
         in effect on the date first written above (the "Arbitration Rules").
         The place of arbitration shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. The
         arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a sole
         arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

                 (b) ATTORNEY'S FEES. All reasonable attorney's fees and costs
         incurred by the prevailing party in any arbitration pursuant to this
         Agreement, and the cost of such arbitration, shall be paid by the other
         party to the arbitration within five days after receipt of written
         demand therefor from the prevailing party following the rendition of
         the written decision of the arbitrator, or as otherwise ordered by the
         arbitrator. On the application of such prevailing party before or after
         the initial decision of the arbitrator, and proof of its attorneys'
         fees and costs, the arbitrator shall order the other party to the
         arbitration to make the payments provided for in the preceding
         sentence; provided, however, that if neither party prevails entirely,
         the arbitrator may, in his or her sole discretion, assess any part of
         such attorneys' fees and costs against a specified party.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
                 (c) BINDING CHARACTER. Any decision rendered by any arbitrator
         pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be final and binding on the parties
         thereto, and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent
         jurisdiction. The parties specifically agree that any arbitrator shall
         be empowered to award and order equitable or injunctive relief with
         respect to matters brought before it.

                 (d) CONFIDENTIALITY. Neither party, nor the arbitrator shall
         disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder
         without the prior written consent of both parties.

                 (e) EXCLUSIVITY. Except as provided in Section 10.2(f),
         arbitration shall be the exclusive method available for resolution of
         controversies and claims described in this Section 10.2, and the
         parties stipulate that the provisions hereof shall be a complete
         defense to any suit, action or proceeding in any court or before any
         administrator or arbitrator with respect to any such controversy or
         claim. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the
         termination or expiration of this Agreement.

                 (f) CERTAIN OTHER REMEDIES. Notwithstanding the terms of this
         Section 10.2 or any provision to the contrary in the Arbitration Rules,
         at any time before and after arbitration is initiated pursuant to the
         Arbitration Rules, the parties shall be free to apply to any court of
         competent jurisdiction for interim or conservatory measures (including
         temporary conservatory injunctions). The parties acknowledge and agree
         that any such action by a party shall not be deemed to be a breach of
         such party's obligation to arbitrate all disputes under this Section
         10.2 or infringe upon the powers of any arbitrator. The parties hereby
         consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court
         for the District of Minnesota.

                 10.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions hereof shall inure
to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs,
executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

                 10.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement, including the
Exhibits hereto which are hereby incorporated by reference, constitutes the full
and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the
subjects hereof and thereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to any other
party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants except as
specifically set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly provided herein,
neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or
terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

                 10.5 NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally (including

                        INVENTORY AND EXCLUSIVE SOFTWARE


         The Inventory shall include the following:

product manuals
blank CD ROMs
blank computer tapes
miscellaneous supplies

         The Exclusive Software shall include the following:

PAR (Producibility Analysis Report) provides printed circuit board (PCB)
designers and manufacturers with a tool to dramatically increase productivity.
This software program, which runs prior to CAM, reads customer data immediately
and gives a complete analysis as to manufacturability and design intent. Any
potential problems can then be communicated with the internal or external
customer. With PAR, this entire cycle takes minutes instead of days with
conventional tools.

ICE (Interactive Conflict Editor) is an automated editing and DFM tool that is
used in conjunction with PAR to greatly improve the PCB editing process. ICE
takes the industry standard PAR analysis and allows the user to automatically
correct design and potential manufacturing problems. This is the "Autofix"
portion of ICE. Autofix will suggest a fix and give a list of repair options
and/or combinations from which the user may choose. Choices are to repair to
typical value, manufacturing requirements, customer specification, arbitrate
between objects, or an override value. ICE is netlist, geometric and DFM based
so that no new errors can be created while you optimize manufacturability.

PAR/ICE combines the feature of the two software packages mentioned above.

ParCAM is a complete panelization system that lets you quickly and accurately
generate a printed wiring board (PWB) manufacturing package. Using the
information in a PWB database, ParCAM takes your panel requirements, corrected
and compensated 1-up, from PAR (Producibility Analysis Report) and ICE
(Interactive Conflict Editor) and easily generates the required production
tolling package. ParCAM also includes panel and process definition modules.

CHECKMATE is a combination of PAR and ICE configured in a way to perform the
desired checking and output for the PCB design market and has significantly less
functionality than PAR/ICE.

                                    EXHIBIT B
                  NONEXCLUSIVE SOFTWARE AND TRANSFERRED ASSETS


         The Nonexclusive Software shall include the following:

CAD/CAM is a general purpose computer aided design and manufacturing system
designed primarily for the mechanical industry.

ProCADD is a general purpose graphical creation and editing program that has
been customized with features to make it appropriate for the precision graphics
marketplace. You would consider it a full featured two dimensional computer
aided drafting package.

ProFLEX is a customized version of ProCADD with a few additional commands,
inputs and outputs to customize it for the flex circuit industry.

IGI/CAM is a complete panelization system that lets you quickly and accurately
generate a printed wiring board (PWB) manufacturing package. Using the
information in a PWB database, IGI/CAM takes your panel requirements, corrected
and compensated 1-up, from PAR and ICE and easily generates the required
production tooling package. IGI/CAM also includes panel and process definition
modules.

ProCHEM is a group of IGI modules arranged in a way to make it a productive
graphical design and editing program for the chemical milling industry including
automatic etch compensation.

                                      B-1

EXHIBIT B, continued

EXT is a program that generates electrical netlist from precision graphics data
and drill files. It is used in the electrical test marketplace, usually as a
data generation module for a fixture program. Fixture programs generate the
actual mechanical interface between a tester and the device being tested. IGI
doesn't make software for this application.

Gerb Edit is a general purpose viewer and editor for precision graphics. It is
almost never sold alone as a product but imbedded in other products to do the
basic editing and viewing.

Core Programs are used to perform basic functions while designing precision
graphics or assembling a product. When grouped together for a specific function,
they are referred to as libraries.


     The Transferred Assets shall include all right, title and interest in and
to the following tangible assets used to operate IGI's Exclusive Software line

Software products.

         (1) Net income will be calculated as follows:

         Contribution margin before software assets capitalized and software
assets amortized (as such figure is and has been calculated on IGI's books and
financial records, a sample of which, as modified, is attached to this Exhibit
D) (a) plus software assets capitalized, (b) minus amortization of software
assets capitalized, (c) minus "allocated" marketing and sales expenses, (d)
minus "allocated" general and administrative expense, (e) minus other additional
expenses and (f) income tax (at the agreed upon rate by IGI and GMC of 31% of
pre-tax income).

         (2) Software assets capitalized includes (a) $500,000 not otherwise
allocated to Transferred Assets which will be amortized over a 60-month period
of time on a straight-line basis, (b) $200,000, if such amount is paid to IGI,
which amount will be amortized over a 60-month period of time on a straight-line
basis, (c) cash relating to deferred revenue and vacation liability that is not
paid to GMC within 180 days of the Closing Date to be amortized over a 24-month
period of time on a straight-line basis, (d) software assets will be capitalized
equal to 90% of the salary and benefits of six developers and 100% of the salary
and benefits of one outside contractor as such expense is incurred, which may be
increased in the future as IGI and GMC may agree in writing and which amount
will be amortized over a 36-month period of time on a straight-line basis and
(e) any other software costs as agreed upon by IGI and GMC may be capitalized
that are not specifically described above which capitalized costs will be
amortized over a 36-month period of time on a straight-line basis.

<PAGE>
 
the Object Code for the Exclusive Software in addition to the three (3)
permitted copies in a particular calendar year, IGI shall obtain GMC's prior
written consent to such distribution, in GMC's sole discretion. For purposes of
this Section 3.1, a "copy" of the Object Code for the Exclusive Software shall
only include the particular version distributed, and shall not include any
subsequent updates, new versions or new releases of such version, each of which
shall constitute a additional "copy" hereunder. All copies of the Object Code
for the Exclusive Software shall be distributed by IGI hereunder pursuant to a
software license agreement between IGI and such third party in a form that
reasonably protects GMC's intellectual property rights therein. IGI agrees to
provide to GMC for review a copy of each version of such software license
agreement for the Object Code for the Exclusive Software prior to its first use.
IGI agrees to use its best efforts to enforce the obligations of such end user
software license agreements and to inform GMC promptly of any known breach of
such obligations.

                 3.2 GMC RESTRICTIONS. All copies of the Object Code for the
Exclusive Software distributed by GMC or its agents to a third party shall be
distributed pursuant to a software license agreement that reasonably protects
IGI's intellectual property rights therein, provided that such requirement shall
terminate upon the date the Earn Out Payment is made pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement. All copies of the Object Code for the Nonexclusive Software
distributed by GMC or its agents to a third party shall be distributed pursuant
to a software license agreement that reasonably protects IGI's intellectual
property rights therein. GMC agrees to provide to IGI for review a copy of each
version of all such software license agreements, which are proposed for use
until the Earn Out Payment is made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, prior to
its first use. GMC agrees to use its best efforts to enforce the obligations of
such end user software license agreements and to inform IGI promptly of any
known breach of such obligations related to the Object Code.

         Section 4. CONSIDERATION. The consideration for the rights and licenses
granted to GMC herein consists of (a) the consideration set forth in Section 2
of the Purchase Agreement, and (b) the license to the Modifications granted to
IGI hereunder.

         Section 5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.

         Section 7.2, neither party may use any trademarks, service marks, trade
         names or logos of the other party.

                 (b) LICENSE TO GMC. IGI hereby grants to GMC, and GMC hereby
         accepts from IGI, a nonexclusive, nontransferable (except as provided
         in Section 11.3), and royalty-free license to use the Marks, solely in
         connection with IGI's and its agent's permitted use and distribution of
         the Licensed Software and Modifications during the term hereof. All
         such usage of the Marks shall be in accordance with the standards,
         specifications and instructions of IGI as of the Effective Date, and
         IGI may inspect and monitor the activities of GMC to ensure that such
         use of the Marks is in accordance with such standards, specifications
         and instructions. GMC is not granted any right, title or interest in
         the Marks other than the foregoing limited license, and GMC shall not
         use, nor permit a third party to use, the Marks except as 

                                      F-6
<PAGE>
 
         expressly permitted hereunder, including, without limitation, as part

                 (c) LICENSE TO IGI. GMC hereby grants to IGI, and IGI hereby
         accepts from GMC, a nonexclusive, nontransferable (except as provided
         in Section 11.3), and royalty-free license to use the trademarks
         (excluding the Marks) owned and/or licensed by GMC which are used in
         connection with the Modifications licensed to IGI hereunder, solely in
         connection with IGI's permitted use and distribution of such
         Modifications during the term hereof. All such usage of the GMC
         trademarks shall be in accordance with the standards, specifications
         and instructions of GMC, and GMC may inspect and monitor the activities
         of IGI to ensure that such use is in accordance with such standards,
         specifications and instructions. IGI is not granted any right, title or
         interest in such trademarks other than the foregoing limited license,
         and IGI shall not use, nor permit a third party to use, such trademarks
         except as expressly permitted hereunder, including, without limitation,
         as part of its corporate or trade name.

                 (d) INFRINGEMENTS. Each party shall promptly notify the other
         party in writing of any unauthorized use of the other party's
         trademarks licensed hereunder, or any similar marks, which may
         constitute an infringement or passing off of such trademarks. Each
         party reserves the right in its sole discretion to institute any
         proceedings related to its own trademarks against such third party
         infringers, and the other party shall refrain from doing so. Each party
         shall cooperate fully in any legal action taken against such third
         parties infringers, provided that the party instituting such action
         shall pay all expenses related to such action and all damages which may
         be awarded or agreed upon in settlement shall accrue to the party
         instituting such action.

         Section 8.  CONFIDENTIALITY.

                 8.1 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party acknowledges that
         information that is disclosed to it (the "Receiving Party") by the
         other party (the "Disclosing Party") in a tangible form and which is
         marked "Confidential" or "Proprietary" (or with a similar legend), or
         that is disclosed orally and confirmed in writing as confidential
         within a reasonable time, all constitute the proprietary and
         confidential information of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential
         Information"). Subject to Section 8.2 below, even if not so marked the
         parties agree that the Licensed Software and all Modifications shall be
         "Confidential Information" hereunder.

                 8.2 USE AND DISCLOSURE. Each party, as a Receiving Party,
         agrees not to use, disclose, distribute or disseminate Confidential
         Information received from the Disclosing Party except as expressly
         permitted under this Agreement, and agrees to keep such Confidential
         Information in strict confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after
         the Effective Date (a) GMC shall have no obligation to keep


                                      F-7
<PAGE>
 
         confidential any information or knowledge relating to the Exclusive
         Software, provided that it shall have an obligation to keep
         confidential the Source Code, Source Documentation and Modifications
         for the Exclusive Software only until the date the Earn Out Payment is
         made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (b) GMC shall have an
         obligation to keep confidential any information relating to the
         Nonexclusive Software, including the Source Code, Source Documentation
         and Modifications therefor, (c) IGI shall have an obligation to keep
         confidential all information and knowledge relating to the Exclusive
         Software (including, without limitation, the Source Code, Source
         Documentation and Modifications thereto), other than as is reasonably
         necessary to permit IGI to continue operating its precision graphics
         business.

                 8.3 REMEDIES. Each party, as a Receiving Party, acknowledges
         that any material breach of the foregoing confidentiality obligation
         could cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, the extent of
         which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, each party, as a
         Receiving Party, agrees that the Disclosing Party may seek immediate
         injunctive relief in the event of a breach of the provisions of this
         Section 8 by the Receiving Party, in addition to any other remedies
         available a law or in equity. In addition, the Receiving Party shall
         indemnify the Disclosing Party for all losses, damages and reasonable
         costs and expenses which the Disclosing Party may sustain or incur as a
         result of such breach by the Receiving Party.

                 8.4 NOTIFICATION. Each party, as a Receiving Party, agrees to
         notify the Disclosing Party promptly in the event of any breach of its
         security under conditions in which it would appear that the Disclosing
         Party's Confidential Information were prejudiced or exposed to loss.
         Each party, as a Receiving Party, shall, upon request of the Disclosing
         Party, take all other reasonable steps necessary to recover any
         compromised Confidential Information disclosed to or placed in the
         Disclosing Party's possession by virtue of this Agreement. All
         reasonable costs of taking such steps shall be borne solely by the
         Receiving Party, except for the value of the time of the Disclosing
         Party's employees.

                 8.5 EXCEPTIONS. The foregoing restrictions will not apply to
         information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) was known to
         the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure as shown by the files of
         the Receiving Party in existence at the time of disclosure; (ii) has
         become publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party;
         (iii) has been rightfully received from a third party authorized by the
         Disclosing Party to make such disclosure without restriction; (iv) has
         been approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing
         Party; (v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to subpoena or other
         action of a court or government agency provided that the Disclosing
         Party is given prior notice of such disclosure and a reasonable
         opportunity to seek a protective order or other confidential treatment
         or (vi) has been independently developed by the Receiving Party without
         any use of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

         and, at IGI's request, defend IGI from and against any and all losses,
         costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
         arising out of or in connection with (a) GMC's use or distribution of
         the Licensed Software and Modifications licensed to GMC hereunder
         (except any infringement claim covered by item (c) in Section 9.2), (b)
         IGI's use of the GMC trademarks as permitted hereunder, or (c) any
         claim that the Modifications licensed to IGI hereunder, which results
         from use in accordance with the licenses granted by GMC hereunder,
         infringe any patent, copyright or other rights of any third party.

                 9.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY IGI. IGI shall indemnify, hold harmless
         and, at GMC's request, defend GMC from and against any and all losses,
         costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
         arising out of or in connection with (a) IGI's use or distribution of
         the Modifications licensed to IGI by GMC hereunder (except any
         infringement claim covered by item (c) in Section 9.1), (b) GMC's use
         of the Marks as permitted hereunder, or (c) any claim that the Licensed
         Software and Modifications licensed to GMC hereunder, which results
         from use in accordance with the licenses granted by IGI hereunder,
         infringe any patent, copyright or other rights of any third party.

         Section 10. TERM AND TERMINATION.

                 10.1 TERM. This Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect unless and until terminated as provided in Section 10.2.

                 10.2 TERMINATION. A party may terminate this Agreement as

                 (a) If during the Earn Out Period either party materially
         defaults in the performance of any material provision of this
         Agreement, then the other party may give written notice to defaulting
         party that if the default is not cured within 30 days, or if
         substantial and continuing efforts to cure such default are not made
         within 30 days, the Agreement will be terminated. If either party gives
         such notice during the Earn Out Period and the default is not cured, or
         if substantial and continuing efforts to cure are not made, during the
         30-day period, then the Agreement will terminate immediately upon
         written notice from the non-defaulting party to the defaulting party;

                 (b) Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon
         notice to the other party if any of the foregoing events occur during
         the Earn Out Period, (i) upon the institution by the other party of
         insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings or any other
         proceedings for the settlement of the other party's debts (ii) upon the
         institution against the other party of insolvency, receivership or
         bankruptcy proceedings or other proceedings for the settlement of the
         other party's debts, which proceedings 


                                      F-9
<PAGE>
 
         are not dismissed within 60 days, (iii) upon the other party's making
         an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) in the event of the
         other party's dissolution or insolvency; or

                 (c) IGI may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written
         notice to GMC if the Earn Out Payment is not paid by GMC in accordance
         with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

                  10.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2, the parties shall have the following rights
and obligations:

                 (a) GMC and IGI shall continue to have the right to use the
         Licensed Software, Modifications, Marks and the GMC trademarks licensed

         Payment to IGI notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.7
         or any other provision of the Purchase Agreement; and

                 (d) If IGI terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
         10.2(a) or 10.2(b), then GMC shall be required to make the Earn Out

                 10.6 OTHER REMEDIES. The rights of IGI and GMC to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 10 are in addition to any other rights and
remedies provided in law or equity or under this Agreement.

         Section 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                 11.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard
to its conflicts of law rules.

                 11.2 ARBITRATION.

                 (a) IN GENERAL. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein,
         any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
         or breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration administered by the
         American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules
         in effect on the date first written above (the "Arbitration Rules").
         The place of arbitration shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. The
         arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a sole
         arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

                 (b) ATTORNEY'S FEES. All reasonable attorney's fees and costs
         incurred by the prevailing party in any arbitration pursuant to this
         Agreement, and the cost of such arbitration, shall be paid by the other
         party to the arbitration within five days after receipt of written
         demand therefor from the prevailing party following the rendition of
         the written decision of the arbitrator, or as otherwise ordered by the
         arbitrator. On the application of such prevailing party before or after
         the initial decision of the arbitrator, and proof of its attorneys'
         fees and costs, the arbitrator shall order the other party to the
         arbitration to make the payments provided for in the preceding
         sentence; provided, however, that if neither party prevails entirely,
         the arbitrator may, in his or her sole discretion, assess any part of
         such attorneys' fees and costs against a specified party.

                 (c) BINDING CHARACTER. Any decision rendered by any arbitrator
         pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be final and binding on the parties
         thereto, and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent
         jurisdiction. The parties specifically agree that any arbitrator shall
         be empowered to award and order equitable or injunctive relief with
         respect to matters brought before it.

                 (d) CONFIDENTIALITY. Neither party, nor the arbitrator shall
         disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder
         without the prior written consent of both parties.

<PAGE>
 
                 (e) EXCLUSIVITY. Except as provided in Section 11.2(f),
         arbitration shall be the exclusive method available for resolution of
         controversies and claims described in this Section 11.2, and the
         parties stipulate that the provisions hereof shall be a complete
         defense to any suit, action or proceeding in any court or before any
         administrator or arbitrator with respect to any such controversy or
         claim.

                 (f)  CERTAIN OTHER REMEDIES. Notwithstanding the terms
         of this Section 11.2 or any provision to the contrary in the
         Arbitration Rules, at any time before and after arbitration is
         initiated pursuant to the Arbitration Rules, the parties shall be free
         to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim or
         conservatory measures (including temporary conservatory injunctions).
         The parties acknowledge and agree that any such action by a party shall
         not be deemed to be a breach of such party's obligation to arbitrate
         all disputes under this Section 11.2 or infringe upon the powers of any
         arbitrator. The parties hereby consent to the non-exclusive
         jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.

                 11.3 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned in whole
or in part by either party, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without
the prior written consent of a duly authorized representative of the other party
and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, as needed in connection with the sale of all or any portion of

                             CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

     The Company, or persons acting on behalf of the Company, or outside
reviewers retained by the Company making statements on behalf of the Company, or
underwriters, from time to time, may make, in writing or orally, "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. When used in conjunction with an identified forward-looking statement,
this Cautionary Statement is for the purpose of qualifying for the "safe harbor"
provisions of such sections and is intended to be a readily available written
document that contains factors which could cause results to differ materially
from such forward-looking statements.  These factors are in addition to any
other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or referred to
in connection with any such forward-looking statement.

     The following matters, among others, may have a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or
prospects, financial or otherwise, of the Company.  Reference to this Cautionary
Statement in the context of a forward-looking statement or statements shall be
deemed to be a statement that any or more of the following factors may cause
actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statement
or statements:

<PAGE>
 
     Liquidity and Capital Resources.  As of December 31, 1997, the Company had
working capital of approximately $2,884,000. The Company believes it has
sufficient working capital to pay its current liabilities. In addition to the
proceeds received from recent debt and equity issuances, the Company believes
its working capital will continue to improve as the Company's profitability
improves. Nevertheless, the Company can provide no assurance as to its continued
profitability and access to the capital markets.

     Reliance Upon Key Personnel.  The Company will be relying heavily upon the
abilities of key personnel, in particular, two technicians.  Jeff Jensen and
Norm Freedman, and division head Bob Donaldson, to further develop the VCC.  If
any of these employees should cease to be employed by the Company or for any
reason be unable to continue in their respective capacities as employees of the
Company, the Company would be required to hire a comparable employee.  There can
be no assurance that it would be able to do so quickly and at an affordable
compensation rate.  While these four employees have incentive options and are
bound by a confidentiality requirement, the Company does not have "key man"
insurance for them and cannot guarantee their continued employment.

     Competitive Conditions.  The Company's industry is characterized by rapidly
evolving technology and intense competition.  The Company is aware of several
other competitors.  These competitors have substantially greater resources and
experience in research and development and marketing than the Company and may
therefore represent significant competition for the Company.  However, unlike
the Company, no competitor produces a complete enterprise computing system, but
rather components that could be combined to form such a system.  The Company's
management believes that the Company's ability to produce an integrated whole
gives the Company a competitive advantage.  Nevertheless, there can be no
assurance that the Company's competitors will not succeed in developing or
marketing technologies and products that are more effective than those developed
or marketed by the Company or that would render the Company's technology and
products obsolete or noncompetitive.

     New Product with Uncertain Demand.  The concept of an external monitor and
control system for computer hardware is relatively new, and the demand for the
product is not yet fully know.  It is difficult to project the overall size of
the future market for such a product.  The Company estimates the market size for
internal systems to be several billion dollars per year.  The Company believes
the market for an external system could be much larger based upon the fact that
external control systems also soon could be used to solve networking problems
associated with linking computers containing different processors together, a
process commonly called enterprise computing.  Based on recent feedback from the
Company's current and potential customers, management believes the demand for

<PAGE>
 
the VCC is large.  However, to date, the Company has sold to only eight
customers, and there is no certainty that additional customers will purchase the
Company's products.

     Product Under Development.  The Company currently is developing a software
product which monitors networking and communication devices used by mainframes.
Although preliminary tests indicate that this product will perform as intended
and can be integrated with the VCC, there can be no assurance that it will do so
or, even if it does, that the Company will be able to establish a market for
such a product.

     Future Capital Requirements; No Assurance Future Capital Will Be Available.
If the current capital of the Company is insufficient to meet its operating and 
working capital needs the Company may be required to raise additional funding
through public or private financings, including equity financings. Any
additional equity financings may be dilutive to the shareholders of the Company,
and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Adequate
funds for the Company's operations, whether from financial markets or from other
sources, may not be available when needed on terms attractive to the Company, or
at all. Whether the Company would be able to secure such financing and, if so,
whether such financing would be available at reasonable rates and terms is
uncertain. Failure to secure such additional financing could adversely affect
the Company.

     Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company holds no patents.  However,
applications are being prepared, and the Company believes the VCC will be
protected by a patent that is currently under review by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office.  This patent was filed by Circle Corporation, a Japanese
corporation, on December 28, 1993 and the Company licenses the product from
Circle Corporation.  The license agreement provides the Company with exclusive
distribution rights outside of Japan.

     Dependence on Diversification of Product Offerings.  The Company currently
has a limited number of product offerings, and none of the existing customers of
the Company's products are required to purchase additional products.
Accordingly, a significant portion of the Company's revenues are generated from
non-recurring revenue sources, and the success of the Company is dependent, in
part, on its ability to develop sustained demand for its current products and to
develop and sell additional products. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in developing and maintaining such demand or in developing
and selling additional products.

     Fluctuations in Operating Results.  The Company's future operating results
may vary substantially from quarter to quarter.  At its current stage of
operations, the Company's quarterly revenues and results of operations may be
materially affected by the timing of the development and market acceptance of
the Company's products.  Generally, operating expenses will be higher during
periods in which product development costs are incurred and marketing efforts
are commenced.  Due to these and other factors, including the general economy,
stock market conditions and announcements by the Company or its competitors, the
market price of the Company's securities may be highly volatile.

     Lack of Product Liability Insurance.  The Company may face a risk of
exposure to product liability claims in the event that use of its products is
alleged to have resulted in damage to its customers.  The Company does not
currently carry product liability insurance.  There can be no assurance that
such insurance will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or
that such insurance, even if obtained, would adequately covers any product
liability claim.  A product liability or other claim with respect to uninsured
liabilities or in excess of insured liabilities could have a material adverse
effect on the business and prospects of the Company.
