                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995



NOTE 1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal 1995 financial statements
to conform with the current year's presentation.

NOTE 2.  COMMON STOCK

In connection with the Company's acquisition of the outstanding minority
interest of Saztec Europe, Ltd. in 1991, the Company granted a put option to the
selling shareholders to repurchase 120,000 shares at $2.00 per share. The put
option is exercisable at 10,000 shares ($20,000) per quarter through April,
1996. During the quarters ended September 30 and December 31, 1995, 10,000
shares of common stock at $20,000 were repurchased by the Company in each
quarter pursuant to the terms of the put option. Of the stock repurchased during
the periods and in prior periods, $95,110 and $80,000 remained payable to the
selling shareholders at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 3.  SALE OF DIVISION

In June 1995, management agreed to sell the assets of the Knightswade Microfilm
Division, based in Winchester, England and in August, 1995, the Marketing
Fulfillment Division based in Billerica, Massachusetts. The sales of the
divisions were completed on September 1, 1995. The operating results for the six
months ended December 31, 1995 were as follows:

                                   6 MONTHS 1995
  Revenue                             $312,965

  Operating loss                     $(45,173)
  Gain on sale of division            231,154

The gain on sale of the Marketing Fulfillment Division includes gains and losses
on sales of assets, severance costs, and related closedown costs. A loss
provision of $145,000 for the sale of the Knightswade Microfilm Division was
recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

NOTE 4.  LITIGATION

On December 14, 1995, an order was entered granting the Summary Judgment motion
of Digital Equipment Corporation ("DEC") in the case in which the Company had
sued DEC in connection with a contract that had been terminated by DEC in 1993.
The decision effectively terminated the Company's claim against DEC. While the
Company believes that its case was meritorious, it determined during the period
for appeal, that it would be an imprudent use of the Company's resources to
pursue an appeal. The loss of the claim resulted in the Company's writing off of
the $139,839 work in process reserve maintained in connection with the contract.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 1996, declined to $5,017,108 from
$5,356,294 from the six months ended December 31, 1995, a decrease of $355,214
or (6.6%). Excluding the revenue of divisions sold (see Note 3), revenue
declined $26,221 for the six month period. Revenue for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, at $2,641,965 was down $355,214 from the $2,997,179 earned
for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, due in large part to longer than
expected project setup times and late vendor deliveries on European commercial
projects.

U.S. revenue for the six months ended December 31, 1996 of $2,075,284, excluding
the divisions sold, declined $103,571 compared with the six month period in the
prior year of $2,178,855. U.S. revenue for the second quarter of the current
year was $221,344 less than the $1,251,921 for the quarter ended December 31,
1995. European revenue, excluding divisions sold, although $133,871 less for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996 than the prior year quarter ended, increased
$78,802 for the six month period to $2,941,824 over the prior year six-month
figure of $2,863,022. European library retrospective conversion projects made up
a 10% larger share of European revenue in the first two quarters of the current
year than the prior year six months. Management expects revenue in both Europe
and the United States to be higher than earned in the first half of the year.

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 1996 decreased $320,176 from
the prior year period to 21.8% of sales, from 28.5% of sales for the prior year.
Gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 1994 was 22%. The decline in
margins is due to lower revenues, higher subcontracting costs, and competitive
pressure on project pricing.

Selling, and administrative expenses (S&A) for the six month period decreased
$663,216 to $1,120,524 (22.3% of sales) from $1,783,740 (33.3% of sales) for the
same period in the prior year. Net of the adjustment to work in process of
$139,839 in December, 1995, the decrease was $523,377, to 30.7% of sales for the
prior year period. For the quarter ended December 31, 1996 S&A decreased to
$609,079 (23% of sales) from $726,994 (24.2% of sales) in the prior year
quarter, net of the adjustment to work in process.

Selling expense declined to $452,378 (9% of sales) for the current year six
month period as compared to the prior year period expense of $608,435. Net of
divisions sold in the prior year, year to date selling expense decreased
$134,468 from the prior year's 11.6% of sales. Selling expense for the quarter
ended December 31, 1996 of $240,641 is $9,978 lower than the prior year second
quarter of $250,619, but is $28,904 higher than for the current year first
quarter of $211,737. Management expects further increases in selling expense
over the next two quarters.

Administrative expense, net of other income of $21,666 for reversal of excess
income tax accrued, declined in the first two quarters of the current year as
compared to the period in the prior year, net of $52,199 of other income and
adjustment for work in process, from $1,087,655 to $689,812 (21.6% to 13.3% of
sales, net of divisions sold in the prior year). Other income for the prior year
six month period consisted mainly of amounts reported for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, of gain on the disposition of assets in the ordinary course
of business of $25,439 and the balance primarily favorable adjustments to
prior-period accruals for relocation costs from Dayton, Ohio and Kansas City,
Missouri to Billerica, Massachusetts, and estimated legal fees.

Loss from operations year to date decreased to $23,582 from $181,610 for the
prior year six months, excluding the operating loss from the divisions sold and
the adjustment to work in process in the prior year.

Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 1996, was $70,510, a decrease of
$240,914 from the prior year figure of $311,424, which is net of the benefit of
a $231,154 gain on the sale of divisions reported in the quarter ended September
30, 1995, as well as a charge of $139,839 against work in process related to
litigation. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 was $74,420.

Although cash flow used in operating activities increased as a result of
collections on accounts receivable and a decrease in work in process, this was
more than offset by the application of customer deposits and payments on
accounts payable and other liabilities. Cash position was further hampered by
cash used in financing activities to meet required payments on equipment notes
payable and to reduce the amount outstanding on the line of credit,
notwithstanding the capital infusion in the first quarter from collection on
notes receivable related to the private stock placement.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company has a revolving credit agreement secured by accounts receivable,
work in process, property and equipment and other assets, bearing interest at
the lender's prime rate plus 4.0%. Available borrowings are 80% of domestic
trade receivables less than 90 days old, with an aggregate maximum borrowing
level that declines $10,000 per month from $450,000 at January 1, 1996 until
maturity on July 1, 1997. Aggregate borrowings were $279,994 on December 31,
1996. On December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $453,887 under the credit
line that matured on that date.

The credit agreement contained various restrictive covenants that required,
among other things, the maintenance of a minimum level of stockholders' equity.
Due to the losses incurred through December 31, 1995, the Company was not in
compliance with that level and was technically in default of the agreement.
However, the lender continued to extend borrowings to the Company under the
credit agreement. The new agreement contains covenants which require a minimum
consolidated net stockholders' equity of $500,000 and a ratio of consolidated
total indebtedness to consolidated net worth not to exceed 8:1. The Company was
in compliance with the covenants at December 31, 1996.

The Company's unrestricted cash balance was $182,794 at December 31, 1996,
$222,023 at June 30, 1996 and $203,580 on December 31, 1995. Working capital has
improved by $69,615 from June 30, 1996 to December 31, 1996, from $452,928 to
$522,543. The improvement in working capital may be credited to cash generated
from the net loss of $70,514 adjusted for non-cash items, which yielded cash of
$92,899 before changes in other current accounts. Working capital is improved
$14,853 from the September 30, 1996 figure of $507,690.
