Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

September 30, 1995

(1)  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed 
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only 
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the  financial position 
as of September 30, 1995 and the results of operations for the three and nine
months then ended and cash flows for the nine months then ended.  Operating
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

     Certain reclassifications of amounts in the condensed consolidated 
financial statements have been made to reflect comparability.

(2)  This financial information should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 1994 and the
information included on Forms 8-K, 8-K/A, and 8-K/A (Amendment No. 2) dated
February 3, 1995, April 19, 1995 and May 15, 1995, respectively.

(3)  On February 3, 1995, the Company purchased certain operating assets of
Twinsys, S.A., a Paris, France-based provider of disaster recovery services in
Europe.  Dataguard financed the purchase with funds borrowed from EPI
Corporation, Dataguard's largest stockholder, under an amendment to an existing
loan agreement.  John P. Snyder, EPI's President and Chairman, is a director of
Dataguard.  Dataguard also issued 16,000 shares of its common stock to EPI in
connection with the loan.

Summarized below are the proforma combined results of operations for the 
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, as though the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995 and 1994, respectively adjusted to
reflect the impact of certain lease terms which have been renegotiated;
reduction of personnel costs as a result of fewer required Twinsys employees,
reduced equipment and office rent expense by combining the Twinsys office
locations; and the borrowing of $500,000 by Dataguard from a stockholder to
finance the acquisition of Twinsys and to provide working capital for its
initial operations.

(5)  Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average
number of common and equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the
treasury stock method.  Dividends on the cumulative Series A Preferred Stock
are deducted from net income (added to net loss) in the calculation of earnings
per common share.  There are 66,012 unexercised stock options outstanding under
the Dataguard 1988 Stock Option Plan at September 30, 1995.  Warrants to
purchase 68,334 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 1995. 
These outstanding stock options and warrants had no dilutive effect on earnings
per common share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations
   
The Company reported revenues of $2,463,350 and $6,691,634 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.  This compares to
revenues of $1,164,438 and $3,338,203 for the comparable periods in 1994.  The
Company reported net income of $99,447 and $106,770 for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 after reporting net income of $2,333 and
a net loss of $86,252 for the same periods in 1994.  The increase in revenue
and net income for the three and nine month periods in 1995 is attributable
almost entirely to the Company's subsidiary, Twinsys Dataguard S.A.
(hereinafter referred to as "Twinsys").  Dataguard acquired certain operating
assets of Twinsys, S.A., a Paris, France-based provider of disaster recovery
services in Europe on February 3, 1995.  See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed explanation of the
Twinsys acquisition.  For the first three quarters of 1995, Twinsys' revenues
exceeded expenses, which more than offset the net loss for the period from the
Company's North American operations.
    
Backup service revenues through September 30, 1995 for the Company's North
American operations decreased 21% when compared to the same period in 1994.  A
significant decrease in Bull backup service revenues resulted from the
expiration of the Company's second largest and largest contracts effective
January 1 and June 1, 1995, respectively.  These contracts together generated
approximately 42% of the Company's revenues in 1994.  The Company's new
contract with its largest customer, the General Electric Company, took
effect on June 1, 1995, and provides for significantly lower revenues due to
GE's reduced backup service requirements.  See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."  IBM backup service revenues through September 30, 1995 grew by
25%, but were more than offset by the decrease in Bull backup service revenues.
Consulting service revenues for the quarter and year to date ended September
30, 1995 exceeded revenues for the same periods last year.  These increases
were offset by comparable decreases in revenues from other data processing
services during these periods.  Based upon the current consulting contracts
that have been awarded to the Company, revenues for 1995 from consulting
services will exceed the consulting revenues recorded for 1994. Consulting
services and other data processing services, by their nature, are not
recurring, and therefore, significant changes in these service revenues can
occur from year to year.

The Company's operating expenses increased to $2,074,284 and $5,705,514 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, from $1,063,415 and $3,175,501,
respectively for the same periods in 1994.  These increases are principally
attributable to Twinsys.  The Company's North American operations' operating
expenses has decreased slightly in 1995 when compared to 1994 principally from
reductions in Bull computer equipment lease and maintenance costs.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses in North America have increased
approximately 20% during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 when compared
to the same period in 1994 due to the increased personnel, travel, professional
fees, and telephone expenses incurred relative to Twinsys.  General and
administrative expenses prior to 1995 had remained stable for a number of
years.  These expenses are expected to be higher throughout 1995 as the Company
establishes, refines and coordinates technical, sales and administrative
procedures for its European operations.

Interest expense totaled $195,226 and $512,251 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1995, respectively, and $99,066 and $300,011 for the same
periods in 1994.  Interest costs increased as a result of the additional debt
incurred to purchase Twinsys and capitalized computer equipment leases entered
into by Twinsys in 1995.
   
The provision for income taxes totalled $122,600 and $416,900 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, and $0 for the same periods
in 1994.  This provision is attributable to income from foreign operations.  No
income tax benefits can be recognized for operating losses that have been
generated in the U.S.
    
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Accounts payable, accrued expenses and current installments of obligations
under capital leases for computer equipment were the largest components of
current liabilities, which exceeded current assets by $2,817,969 at September
30, 1995.  

The principal resources available to reduce the Company's liquidity deficiency
are monthly revenues payable under its backup service contracts.  Backup
services revenues for the Company's customers are generated in most cases under
multi-year, non-cancelable contracts that will provide quantifiable revenues
over the next five years.  These contractual revenues, net of unrecorded lease
obligations, though not recorded on the Company's balance sheet, will be
available to help meet the Company's liabilities as recorded at September 30,
1995.

The net operating results of Twinsys have provided a significant, positive
impact upon the consolidated working capital of the Company.  However, the
timing and volume of working capital transfers between Twinsys and Dataguard
are subject to rules governing dividend payments by French subsidiaries of
multi-national corporations.  The Company will assess the working capital needs
of its North American and European operations at year end and will determine
appropriate allocations of working capital at that time.  The Company expects
to meet its other cash flow needs in 1995 through payments of consulting
revenues by existing customers, the addition of new customers for both backup
and consulting services, as well as the extension of payment terms on certain
monthly expenses and other debt.  In addition, cash flow from operations in
1995 is expected to be positively affected as certain computer equipment leases
expire during the last quarter of 1995 and are replaced by new leases on more
favorable terms.  The Company has obtained and will continue to seek more
favorable terms for its lease and maintenance agreements to reduce its costs
and expenses.  The Company's computer equipment will meet the technological
requirements of the Company's current and prospective customers without the
need for any material capital expenditure during 1995.  The Company is
exploring alternatives for financing the addition of computer equipment needed
for the backup requirements of some of Twinsys' largest customers beginning in
the first quarter of 1996.  The Company's objective is to finance capital needs
with the smallest possible adverse impact on the Company's liquidity position.

As noted above, the Company's new contract with GE will generate lower backup
service revenues.  However, the contract also enables the Company to
significantly reduce equipment costs associated with GE's backup service
requirements, beginning the third quarter of 1995.  The Company has not yet
been able to generate new revenues in North America to offset lost revenues
from the expiration of its two largest contracts in 1995 and cannot currently
predict when it will be able to accomplish this.  Revenues receivable under
future contracts for backup services may also be adversely impacted by new
competitive pressures.  During the year, an affiliate of Bull HN entered the
alternate provider of backup services market for Bull users.  See Part II Item
1 (Legal Proceedings) of Form 10QSB for additional discussion.

Twinsys Acquisition

As noted above, Dataguard purchased certain operating assets of Twinsys on
February 3, 1995.  The purchase price for the Twinsys assets was 1,050,000
French francs (approximately $210,000).  To finance the purchase of the Twinsys
assets and to provide working capital to Twinsys, the Company increased its
borrowing under a short-term loan from a stockholder from $300,000 to $800,000.
The Company expects this loan to be renewed at least through 1995.  The
purchased multi-year customer contracts are expected to generate annual
revenues of approximately 30 million French francs (approximately $6,000,000 at
current exchange rates) in 1995.  In the Twinsys acquisition, the Company
assumed obligations under backup contracts for which revenues of approximately
4.9 million French francs (approximately $1 million) had been prepaid prior to
the acquisition.  Since February, Twinsys has renewed or renegotiated backup
services contracts with substantially all of its customers that were under
contract at the time of the acquisition and it has successfully renegotiated
its most significant computer leases.

The acquisition of a leading European disaster recovery provider gives the
Company, which is the leading provider to Bull users in North America, an
immediate presence in the much larger Bull market in Europe.  The continued
profitability and liquidity of Twinsys in the future depends upon its ability
to maintain existing customers and increase its share of the European market.
