(the  "Company's") convertible notes were converted into 84,800 shares of
common stock in non-cash transactions.

3.  ACQUISITION OF SMOKY MOUNTAIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

On April 16, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Smoky Mountain
Technologies, Inc. ("Smoky Mountain") a software and hardware developer for the
financial transaction industry. The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common
stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Smoky Mountain.  This
transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, therefore, prior 
period financial statements have been restated to reflect this merger.

Smoky Mountain prepared its financial statements on a December 31 year end.
Smoky Mountain's fiscal year end has been changed to the last day of February
to conform with the Company's year end.  As a result, Smoky Mountain's results
of operations for the two months ended February 29, 1996 are not reflected in 
the consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.  Smoky Mountain's 
loss for this period has been charged to retained earnings.  Smoky Mountain's 
results of operations for the two month period ended February 29, 1996, are 
summarized as follows:

</TABLE>


The stockholders' equity accounts have been adjusted to reflect the 149 shares
of Smoky Mountain preferred stock which were converted into 6,037 shares of
Smoky Mountain common stock.  Adjustments have also been made to reflect the
conversion of all Smoky Mountain common stock into 500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.  No other adjustments were required to reflect the
consolidation of Smoky Mountain into the Company since the accounting policies
to Smoky Mountain prior to the transaction were substantially the same as the
Company's and prior to the date of the acquisition there were no transactions
between the companies.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Part I of this
report and with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended February 29, 1996.  Except for the historical information contained
herein, this discussion contains forward-

                                      8

<PAGE>   9

looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties including 
economic, competitive and technological factors affecting the Company's 
operations, markets, products, services and prices as well as other  factors 
discussed in Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as
well as other factors contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.   
These and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from 
those anticipated.

OVERVIEW

UniComp, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops, markets and provides packaged
application software (including migration tools), custom software applications, 
computer equipment, and support and maintenance services.  The Company's 
products and services are designed to maintain and/or improve the technological 
sophistication of its customer's mission critical applications, systems and 
technical personnel.  In particular, the Company's products and services 
assist businesses and independent software vendors in the migration of their 
systems and applications from proprietary to open platforms while maintaining 
their investment in legacy code.

During the first quarter of fiscal year ending February 28, 1997, the Company
completed its acquisition of Smoky Mountain Technologies, Inc. ("Smoky
Mountain").  Smoky Mountain is a software and hardware developer for the
financial transaction industry whose applications provide the capability to
process credit, debit, check and other electronic transactions for the retail,
grocery, oil and gas, and hospitality industries.  These applications are
commonly known as Universal Payment Software ("UPS").  The acquisition has been
accounted for by the pooling of interest method.  As such, the consolidated
balance sheet as of February 29, 1996 and the consolidated results of
operations for the three months ended May 31, 1995 have been restated to
reflect the inclusion of Smoky Mountain.

The Company markets its products and services domestically and internationally.
For the three months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, revenues from outside the
United States constituted 82.8% and 90.7%, respectively, of net revenues.  The
majority of these revenues were from sales made and services rendered in the
United Kingdom.

The Company's revenues are principally generated from the sale of computer
equipment, software products, maintenance, implementation services and the
development of custom software applications.  Gross margins can increase
significantly as the total license sales increase above the amortization of the
initial cost of development.  The Company anticipates that overall gross 
margins will improve as revenues from the sale of application software, 
particularly the UNIBOL400 product, and Universal Payment Software systems 
become a greater percentage of total revenues.

Cost of sales for software license revenues include the amortized portions of
each product's capitalized development costs, as well as any royalties payable
on embedded technologies.  Cost of sales for computer equipment consist of the
actual cost of the products sold.  Costs for maintenance, support and other
services include supplies and 


                                       9



<PAGE>   10

parts, subcontractors and other direct costs of delivering the products and 
services except for the salary costs, which are included in Selling, General 
and Administrative costs.

Selling, General and Administrative costs include salaries and related costs
for all staff (excluding capitalized product development), travel, internal
equipment costs, premises, marketing, as well as general office and
administrative costs.  Although the Company expects the dollar amount of these
expenses to increase as the Company grows, it anticipates that these expenses
will stabilize or decrease as a percentage of net revenue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996 TO MAY 31, 1995

REVENUES
Revenues for the three months ended May 31, 1996 were $5,884,000 compared to
$4,921,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1995, an increase of $963,000, or
19.6%.  Revenues from foreign operations, principally in the United Kingdom,
increased to $4,870,000 in 1996 from $4,527,000 in 1995, or 7.6%.  The increase
in revenues from foreign operations was primarily attributable to increases in
equipment sales, maintenance services, and custom developed software and
implementation services.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease
in software sales.

Revenues in the United States increased to $1,014,000 for the three months
ended May 31, 1996 from $394,000 for the comparable period a year ago, or 
157.1%.  The increase in revenues in the United States is principally due to 
an increase of $448,000 to $542,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1996 
from the newly acquired Smoky Mountain subsidiary from $94,000 for the 
comparable period a year ago.

Equipment sales increased $248,000 (20.5%) to $1,462,000 for the three months
ended May 31, 1996 from $1,214,000 for the comparable period a year ago.  The 
increase in equipment sales is principally due to higher hardware sales arising 
from revenues of ADVEC Ltd. (ADVEC) in the United Kingdom.  The Company's 
subsidiary, CMI acquired the hardware sales and maintenance contracts of ADVEC 
in August, 1995.  These contracts generated equipment sales of approximately 
$274,000 in the quarter ended May 31, 1996, whereas there were none for the
comparable period a year ago.

Revenues from software sales declined slightly to $1,013,000 for the three
months ended May 31, 1996 compared to $1,162,000 for the comparable period a
year ago.  Software sales from the Smoky Mountain division increased $420,000
to $514,000 from $94,000 in the prior year.  This increase was offset 
by a decrease in software sales in the United Kingdom, principally from the 
Unibol division, of $567,000.  Software sales of the Unibol Division declined 
for the three months ended May 31, 1996, as compared to the prior year due to 
a declining UNIBOL36 product demand and the lack of sales of its new product, 
UNIBOL400.  The roll-out of the UNIBOL400 product is taking longer than
orginally anticipated due to a longer than expected selling cycle to
Independent Software Vendors (ISV's) who will incorporate the UNIBOL400 product
into their existing software applications for resale to end users. Currently, 
Unibol has over 25 ISV's worldwide who are marketing UNIBOL400 and the Company 
expects end-user sales to commence next quarter.


                                       10



<PAGE>   11


Maintenance and support services increased $619,000 (36.5%) to $2,318,000 for
the three months ended May 31, 1996 from $1,699,000 for the comparable period a
year ago due principally to an increase in revenues arising from the 
acquisition of ADVEC in the United Kingdom in August 1995, and the Company's 
gaining of an overall increased market share in Northern Ireland.

Custom developed software and implementation services increased $243,000
(28.6%) to $1,090,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1996 from $847,000 
for the comparable period a year ago due principally to the Company's 
subsidiaries gaining a higher market share of this business in Northern Ireland.

COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for equipment and software increased to $1,885,000 for the three
months ended May 31, 1996 from $1,448,000 for the comparable period a year 
ago, or 30.2%.  Gross profit from equipment and software sales declined to 
23.9% in 1996 from 40.2% in 1995 due primarily to increased amortization on 
capitalized software based on the first release of UNIBOL400 in the fourth 
quarter of fiscal year ended February 29, 1996, and general declining margins 
on the sale of equipment. The Company expects cost of sales to decrease as a 
percentage of sales in the future due to higher revenues from software 
products which have been released, whereas amortization on capitalized 
software should remain at a relatively constant rate over the next year.

Cost of sales for maintenance and support increased to $555,000 for the three
months ended May 31, 1996 from $333,000 for the comparable period a year ago, 
or 66.8%.  Gross profit from maintenance and support declined to 83.7% in 1996 
from 86.7% in 1995 due principally to more competitive market condition on 
bids for renewed contracts.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained fairly consistent at
$2,480,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1996 compared to $2,516,426 for
the three months ended May 31, 1995.   Depreciation was $182,000 for the three
months ended May 31, 1996 as compared to $163,000 for  the prior year 
representing normal growth in assets compared to that of the entire business.

OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses, net, were $83,500 for the three months ended May 31, 1996 as 
compared to other income of $33,242 or the comparable period a year ago.  The 
interest expense component increased to $92,800 for the three months ended May
31, 1996 from $38,000 for the comparable period a year ago.  The increase in 
interest expense is due to the issuance of 7% convertible notes in December 
1995.  The proceeds for the convertible notes were used to acquire the rights 
to certain development software to be embedded in the UNIBOL400 product and for 
general working capital purposes.  The Company also used some of the cash to 
secure a mortgage in the United Kingdom related to the acquisition of a new 
building for certain operations in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

TAXES
The effective income tax rate (income taxes expressed as a percentage of
pre-tax income) was 34.0% and 9.7% for the three months ended May 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  As previously disclosed in the Company's most recent 10-K,
the Company became fully taxable in the first quarter of fiscal year ending
February 28, 1997 due to the elimination of 

                                       11


<PAGE>   12

the deferred tax valuation allowance in the prior year.  This has resulted in 
an increase in the tax provision of $190,000 for the first quarter, to 
$238,000 in 1996 from $48,000 in 1995.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income increased to $460,560 for the three month ended May 31, 1996 from
$446,627 for the same period a year ago.  Earnings per share remained the same
at $.09 in both 1996 and 1995.  Earnings per share for the three months ended
May 31, 1996 is based upon an increased number of shares outstanding due to the
effects of the number of shares that would be outstanding assuming the
conversion of options and warrants, the exercise of stock options, and the
conversion of $500,000 of convertible notes into shares of the Company's common
stock.  In the prior year, the conversion effect of options and warrants 
provided a dilution of less than 3% and therefore their effect was not included
in the weighted average number of shares.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the three months ended May 31, 1996, the Company used cash from operations
of $512,000 compared to $267,000 for the same period a year ago.  This increase
is principally due to the final payment of $300,000 during the first quarter
ended May 31, 1996 related to the purchase of the rights to modify the source
code of a database which is embedded in the UNIBOL400 product.

During the three months ended May 31, 1996, the Company expended $128,000  for
capital improvements.  Other significant investing expenditures in the first
quarter included capitalization of internally developed software of
approximately $498,000.

Significant sources of  cash from financing activities include, additional
borrowings on the short term line of credit in the United Kingdom of $289,000
for general corporate purposes and borrowings of $366,000 in the United States
for working capital requirements of its newly acquired subsidiary, Smoky
Mountain.

During the three months ended May 31, 1996, $480,000 of the Company's
convertible notes were converted into 84,800 shares of the Company's common
stock.  Management anticipates that the remainder of the holders of the
convertible notes will exercise their conversion options prior the end of the
year.

The Company believes that the cash generated from increased profitability
together with borrowings, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet its working
capital needs both on a short and long term basis.  However, the Company's
capital needs will depend on many factors, including the Company's ability to 
maintain the upward trend of profitable operations, the need to develop and 
improve products, and various other factors.  Depending on its working capital 
requirements, the Company may seek additional financing through debt or equity 
offerings in the private or public markets at any time.  The Company's ability 
to obtain additional financing will depend on its results of operations, 
financial condition and business prospects, as well as conditions then 
prevailing in the relevant capital markets.

SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

The Company's operations have not proven to be significantly seasonal, although
quarterly revenues and net income could be expected to vary.  Although the
Company cannot accurately determine the amounts attributable thereto, the
Company has been affected by 

                                       12



<PAGE>   13
