           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)  GENERAL INFORMATION

     The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have
     been prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules
     and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations,
     although the Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to
     make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that
     these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
     thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended April 30, 1996, as filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission on July 26, 1996.  There have been no significant
     changes in such information since the date of such Form 10-K.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
     only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly
     (a) the financial position of the Registrant as of January 31, 1997,
     and April 30, 1996, and (b) the results of its operations for the nine
     months ended January 31, 1997 and 1996, and (c) cash flows for the
     nine months ended January 31, 1997 and 1996.

(2)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     During fiscal 1996, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against
     a portion of its $1.2 million net operating loss carryforward due to
     the uncertainty of its ultimate realization.  The Company also has not
     recorded a future tax benefit for the effect of the loss it incurred
     during the nine months ended January 31, 1997.  These net operating
     loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income
     through the year 2012.

<PAGE>
     ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues of $5,498,981 for the three months ended January 31, 1997,
have decreased by 17% in comparison to the $6,637,705 of net revenues that
were reported for the comparable period in the prior year.  Year to date
net revenues of $16,467,492 are 8% lower than the $17,952,371 of net
revenues that were reported for the comparable nine-month period in the
prior year.  These amounts include revenues from computer hardware and
software shipments, sales of computer forms and supplies, and various
related services such as mass real estate appraisal, software support,
training, hardware maintenance, digitizing property tax maps, and forms
processing and printing.

While software license fees and related service revenues have increased
slightly over the prior year, the year to date decrease in revenues can
primarily be attributed to two factors: delays in the completion of the
Company's new Windows-based appraisal, financial and payroll products, and
the cyclical nature of the Company's market for appraisal services in
Indiana and Ohio.  The Company has recently started to release its new
appraisal, financial and payroll software to a number of customers for
their review and testing.  In addition, the Company has signed over
$3 million of appraisal service contracts during the third quarter,
which has caused the backlog for these services to increase significantly
over the prior year.  While a small amount of appraisal revenue has been
recognized on these new contracts, the majority of the revenue will be
recognized in the next twelve to eighteen months as the services are
provided.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1997, decreased 21%
to $3,349,968 versus the comparable prior year amount of $4,250,513.  Year
to date cost of revenues decreased by 14% from $11,755,412 in the prior
year to $10,055,844 for the nine months ended January 31, 1997.  These
decreases are primarily due to the decrease in revenues noted above and an
improvement in the Company's gross profit margins.  The margin improvement
can be attributed to a favorable change in the mix of revenues.  The prior
year gross margins were approximately 36% and 35% for the three- and nine-
month periods while the current year margins have improved to 39% for both
periods.  Sales of software generally yield a much higher margin than sales
of the Company's other products and services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses have decreased by 14% to
$2,174,158 for the three months ended January 31, 1997, compared to
$2,533,020 for the prior year quarter.  Year to date selling, general and
administrative expenses have decreased 11% from $7,366,725 in the prior
year to $6,581,977 in the current year.  This decrease is primarily due to


                                      -7-
<PAGE>
the Company's efforts to reduce costs without effecting the level of
customer service that has historically been provided.

As a result of the factors noted above, the Company reported operating
losses of $25,145 for the three months and $170,329 for the nine months
ended January 31, 1997.  This is a substantial improvement over the
comparable prior year operating losses of $145,828 for the three months and
$2,767,770 for the nine months ended January 31, 1996, even after the
$1.6 million nonrecurring charge related to the retirement of Allen F.
Peat, who was the Company's former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President, is excluded from the prior year nine month amount.

Interest expense which is included in other expense, has decreased from
$334,825 to $251,502 because the Company has reduced its average
outstanding indebtedness by approximately $1.2 million.

The Company's provision (credit) for federal income taxes generally
fluctuates with the level of pretax income (loss).  In addition, the
effective tax rate is generally impacted because of non-deductible goodwill
amortization related to the Company's acquisitions of ATEK and Specialized
Data Systems.  However, as previously discussed in Note 2, the Company has
elected not to record the tax effect of the losses for the three and nine
month periods ended January 31, 1997.

As a result of the factors noted above, the Company reported net losses of
$96,315 or $.03 per share for the three months and $372,558 or $.13 per
share for the nine months ended January 31, 1997.  This represents a
significant improvement over the net losses of $249,848 or $.08 per share
and $2,853,093 or $.96 per share that were reported for the comparable
periods in the prior year.  Weighted average shares outstanding has
decreased from 2,974,544 to 2,866,206 primarily because the Company
purchased approximately 150,000 shares of its common stock in March of 1996
from Allen F. Peat in connection with his retirement.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Working capital of $3,055,037 at January 31, 1997, is comparable to the
April 30, 1996, amount of $3,043,460.  These levels reflect current ratios
of 1.41 and 1.42, respectively.

Shareholders' equity at January 31, 1997, decreased by 6% to $4,834,254
from the $5,144,370 that was reported at April 30, 1996, primarily because
of the $372,558 net loss for the nine-month period.  As a result, book
value per share has decreased to $1.68 as of January 31, 1997, from $1.80
at April 30, 1996.

The nature of the Company's business is not property or equipment
intensive.  Net capital expenditures, which were $354,516 for the nine

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
months ended January 31, 1997, are slightly higher than the prior year
amount of $284,788.  They relate primarily to the purchase of additional or
new computer hardware and software for the Company's technical and support
personnel.  Net capital expenditures for future periods are not anticipated
to be significantly different from those incurred in the current period.

Since the Company's revenues are generated from contracts with local
governmental entities, it is not uncommon for certain of its accounts
receivable to remain outstanding for approximately three to four months.
As of January 31, 1997, the Company owed $2,565,000 on its $5 million
revolving credit agreement and $350,000 on its ESOP loan.  This reflects a
significant improvement over the prior year, as the balances outstanding at
January 31, 1996, were $3,595,000 and $450,000, respectively.  It is
anticipated that the revolving line of credit, together with existing cash
balances, and cash generated from future operations will be sufficient for
the Company to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next
twelve months.

The Company cannot precisely determine the effect of inflation on its
business.  The Company continues, however, to experience relatively stable
costs for its inventory as the computer hardware market is very
competitive.  Inflationary price increases related to labor and overhead
will have a negative effect on the Company's cash flow and net income to
the extent that they cannot be offset through improved productivity and
price increases.
