          for $16,750,000 in cash plus the assumption of certain
          liabilities relating to the Macintosh Business.  The
          unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
          sheet as of June 30, 1997 gives effect to the Sale as
          if it had been consummated on June 30, 1997 and the

          of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 1997
          and the year ended September 30, 1996 give effect to
          the Sale as if it had been consummated on October 1,
          1995.
    
          In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
          to fairly present this pro forma information have been
          made.
