                     NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The Summary of Accounting
Policies and Notes to Financial Statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying statements. These
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which the Company believes are necessary for a fair presentation
of the statements. The interim operating results are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year.


Note 2.  NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

In order to provide a source of funds to assist the launching of the new
Asset Insight product, Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. ("Safeguard"), a 71%
shareholder of the Company, has agreed to provide a $1 million line of
credit to the Company at prime rate plus 1%.  There was $450,000
outstanding under the note at June 30, 1996.  Amounts outstanding are due
thirteen months after the date of demand.


Note 3.   SALE OF LAN DIVISION


In March, 1996, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of the LAN
division, acquired from Knozall Systems, Inc. in 1994, to its former owner,
an officer and director of the Company.  In exchange for the cancellation
of $850,000 of the $1 million note issued in connection with the
acquisition of Knozall, the Company transferred all of the net assets of
the LAN division, made a cash payment of $213,000 at the date of sale and
issued a $300,000 note due in 24 equal installments.  The buyer elected to
convert the remaining $150,000 of the $1 million note into shares of
Tangram common stock.  In addition, the Company retained rights to certain
technology developed in the LAN division since August 1, 1994

     Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were comparable to the
same period in 1995.  However, the three months ended June 30, 1996
includes $834,000 from sale of the new Asset Insight product offset by
decreases in the sale of all other products.

     Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
decreased 11% from the same period in 1995 due to elimination of the
expenses related to the LAN division which was sold in March, 1996.  As a
result, selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales decreased
to 48.1% from 54.7% in the second quarter of 1995.




The Company is continuing to focus development activities primarily on the
Asset Insight product.  In addition, the Company continues to enhance
existing technologies in its distributed resource management product line.

</TABLE>

General and administrative expenses for 1996 increased 11% over the same
period in 1995.  The increase  reflects higher professional fees.

At December 31, 1995 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $25.9 million.  The net operating loss carryforwards expire
in various amounts from 1998 through 2010.


LIQUIDITY

Cash generated from operations has been adequate to fund the Company's
development and finance activities.  In the past, the Company has generated
cash from operating activities despite its net losses due to the
significant levels of depreciation and amortization.  Cash requirements
have increased in 1996 due to the additional expenditures required for the
introduction and launching of the Asset Insight product.  As stated in Note
2  above, Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. has agreed to assist the Company's
launching of the Asset Insight product by providing a $1 million line of
credit to fund cash requirements  of which $450,000 is outstanding at June
30, 1996.  The Company believes these this line of credit along with cash
from operations will be adequate to meet its 1996 cash requirements.
