operations.

(4)  In March 1997, the Company completed a public offering of its Common Stock
that raised $8,528,256, net of offering expenses.  A portion of the offering 
proceeds were used to repay an $800,000 loan and related accrued interest from
a shareholder.

(5)  Income per share is based on net income less preferred dividends divided
by the weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding
during the period.  Common stock equivalents outstanding are calculated for
stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Fully diluted per
share amounts are not materially different from primary per share amounts.




MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Preliminary Note Regarding Forward Looking Information

The information set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results 
of Operations and Financial Condition" includes forward-looking statements.  
Factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in 
the forward-looking statements are included in the following discussion and 
are described in greater detail in the  Company's Form 10-KSB Annual Report 
for the year ended December 31, 1996 under "Item 1 Business -- Risk Factors."

Results of Operations

The Company reported revenue of $2,701,848 for the three months ended March 31,
1997.  This compares to revenue of $2,344,117 for the comparable period in 1996.
The Company reported net income of $18,490 for the three months ended March 
31, 1997 compared to a net loss of $9,513 for the same period in 1996.  The 
increase in revenue in 1997 is attributable almost entirely to additional 
computer services revenue generated in North America associated with 
outsourcing, millennium and disaster recovery consulting.  An approximate 4.7%
increase in backup service revenue was provided by the Company's foreign
subsidiary, Twinsys Dataguard S.A. (hereinafter referred to as "Twinsys").

Twinsys accounted for approximately 65% of consolidated service revenue for the
three month period ending March 31, 1997 compared to approximately 73% for
the full year of 1996.  It is expected that Twinsys' percentage of total
consolidated service revenue of the Company will continue to decrease during 
1997 due to the additional revenues that are expected to be generated in North
America associated with millennium and outsourcing services.  The Company
currently has both outsourcing and millennium service contracts in process.

The Company's operating expenses increased to $2,443,738 from $2,094,594 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the same period in 1996.
In April 1996, Twinsys was obligated to obtain additional computer equipment to
meet the backup requirements of some of its largest customers, resulting in
higher depreciation and maintenance expenses and consequently, smaller margins.
Maintenance and depreciation expenses for Twinsys are not expected to increase
significantly through 1997.  The cost of services for North American operations
increased approximately 27% to $786,138 for the three months ended March 31, 
1997 from $618,442 for the same period last year.  This increase reflects 
growth in the Company's technical and direct marketing staffs in anticipation 
of increased demand for millennium and outsourcing services.  In addition,
advertising, promotion, and trade show expenditures have also increased as the
Company increased marketing of its Year 2000 and other computer services
offerings.  

Interest expense was comparable for the three month periods ended March 31, 
1997 and 1996.  These expenses totaled $172,014 and $161,707 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Interest expense for 
Twinsys is related mainly to capital leases for computer equipment.  Interest
expense for North America is principally related to capital leases and debt
incurred to establish and provide working capital for Twinsys.  The debt 
incurred to purchase assets for and capitalize Twinsys was paid off in March 
1997.  

The provision for income taxes totaled $56,195 and $99,125 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, due to French income
taxes resulting from income of Twinsys.  No income tax benefits can be
recognized currently for U.S. operating losses, but these losses are available
to offset any future U.S. taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital totaling $6,978,724.
In March 1997, the Company completed a public offering of its Common Stock
that raised $8,528,256, net of offering expenses.  A portion of the offering
proceeds were used to repay an $800,000 loan and related accrued interest 
from a shareholder.  The Company also plans use offering proceeds to pay 
certain accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities,
to increase marketing staff, project managers, and technical personnel in
anticipation of increased demand for millennium services during the next
several months, and to establish and equip regional testing facilities as 
Year 2000 conversion projects enter the implementation phase.  Pending use
for working capital needs, the Company expects to invest a portion of the
net offering proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing
securities.

Income from Twinsys has provided a significant, positive impact upon the 
consolidated cash flow of the Company.  However, the timing and amount of 
cash transfers between Twinsys and Strategia are subject to rules governing 
dividend payments by French subsidiaries of multi-national corporations, as 
well as practical considerations.  The Company continually assesses the
working capital needs of its North American and European operations and
determines appropriate allocations of cash throughout the year.

The Company's computer equipment is expected to meet the technological
requirements of current and prospective backup services customers in North
America and Europe without the need for any additional material capital
expenditure during the first half of 1997.  The Company plans to finance the
acquisition of additional computer equipment when needed for the backup 
requirements of its largest customers through capital lease obligations.
To the extent that additional computer hardware is required to meet the terms
of future contracts for data center outsourcing and millennium testing
services, the Company intends to finance the acquisition of readily available
used equipment from contract revenues whenever possible, and the proceeds of
its public offering of Common Stock.

    None.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities.

    During the first quarter of 1997, the Company acquired substantially all 
of the assets of SafeGround, Inc., a Louisville, Kentucky-based provider of 
remote computer data backup and related services.  Under the terms of an asset
purchase agreement and a stock option agreement dated as of January 1, 1997, 
the Company acquired the contracts, equipment, good will, inventory, 
intellectual property and other assets of SafeGround in consideration of the
issuance of an option to purchase 7,500 shares of Strategia's common stock at 
an exercise price of $7.125, the market price of the common stock at the close 
of business on December 31, 1996.  The Company assumed only specified 
liabilities of SafeGround, principally prospective obligations under 
SafeGround's contracts.  The Company relied on the exemption provided by 
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the issuance of the option to
SafeGround.
