</TABLE>

The decrease of approximately $64,000 in computer and add-on hardware revenue
for the first quarter of 1995, compared to the first quarter of 1994, resulted
primarily from decreases in revenue from the legal and tire systems product
lines, partially offset by an increase in revenue from the international trade,
electronic time recording, and direct marketing systems product lines.  
        
Hardware margins increased to approximately 22% in the first quarter of 1995,
from approximately 11% in the same period in 1994.  However, based upon the mix
of hardware products sold, gross margin on total hardware will fluctuate as
there are certain hardware products sold with computer hardware which have
different gross margins.  Accordingly, hardware gross margins in the future will
continue to fluctuate.  The Company continues to direct its efforts toward
building service and product license revenue to offset the historical decline in
hardware revenue and margins. 
        
Product license revenue increased by approximately $116,000 or 10% in the first
quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  The change was a result of
revenue increases from all Company product lines except tire systems.
        
Revenue from services increased by approximately $86,000 or 2%.  The change
resulted from increases in virtually all of the Company's product lines.  Gross
margin from services remained constant at approximately 34%.  The Company's
revenue and margin from services fluctuate from period to period due to its
existing mix of contracts and projects.

                              Item 2

                           - continued -




Revenue net of hardware cost increased by approximately $318,000 or 6%, in the
three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same period in the prior year,
with all product lines improving for the period except for tire systems.
        
Cost of product licensing and development increased for all Company product
lines for the first quarter of 1995.  The change resulted from increases in
third party license and capitalized software amortization costs, coupled with a
lower level of capitalization of the internal costs of software product
development.
        
Marketing and sales expenses decreased by approximately $139,000 or 11%. 
General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $127,000 or 13%,
compared to the first quarter of 1994.  These changes reflect the cost
reductions and controls enacted by the Company in the last four quarters.
        
Pretax earnings from operations were approximately $246,000 for the first
quarter of 1995, compared to pretax earnings from operations of approximately
$153,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  The increase in earnings resulted from
an increase in contribution from the Company's international trade, electronic
time recording, and direct marketing systems product lines.  This increase was
partially offset by decreases in contribution from the Company's legal and tire
systems product lines.
        
Net earnings for the first quarter of 1995 were approximately $41,000, as
compared to net earnings of approximately $26,000 for the comparable period in
1994. The change resulted from an increase in earnings from operations of
approximately $93,000, which was partially offset by an increase in net interest
expense of approximately $5,000 and an increase in income tax expense of
approximately $73,000.
        
In recent years due to several recurring permanent book-tax differences, the
Company has recorded effective tax expense well in excess of statutory rates.

                        Liquidity and Capital Resources




The Company had total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1995 of
approximately $376,000, an increase of approximately $366,000 from December 31,
1994.  Its working capital position as of March 31, 1995, was slightly 
negative. However, the Company and its subsidiaries currently have a maximum 
line of credit totaling $2,350,000, of which approximately $608,000 was 
available at March 31, 1995.  This line is scheduled to expire in June 1995.
The Company expects to renew the line under substantially the sames terms.
        
Over the past two years, the Company has expended signficant working capital on
the development of a new generation of software products.  The level of these
expenditures has decreased in the current period.  However, with the revolution
in software technology, the Company will have to continue to fund product
development in order to retain existing clients and to attract new clients.  The
Company intends, as it has in the past, to fund this development from its cash
from operations.
        
The Company expects to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions.  These
acquisitions have been and are expected to continue to be financed in a number
of ways.  Management believes, subject to the conditions of the financial
markets, that it should be able to continue its program of acquisitions.
        
The Company's hardware and software license revenues can fluctuate as a result
of a number of factors, particularly trends in the overall economy, client
buying patterns, and hardware and software technological developments. 
Consequently, the Company could be subject to material variation in operating
results.  As the uncertainties of the economy are incalculable, the Company
acknowledges the potential adverse impact that economic uncertainty could have
on its ability to maintain liquidity, raise additional capital, and continue its
program of acquisitions.  Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes that
based on the level of operating revenue, cash on hand, and available bank debt,
it has sufficient capital to finance its ongoing business.
