                         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                      CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a)   Adjustment reflects the purchase of Trimco Group plc pursuant to a Sale
      and Purchase Agreement dated as of December 27, 1995 by and among
      the Company, Mr. Jay Tanna and the shareholders and optionholders of
      Trimco (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company
      acquired the Trimco shares for an aggregate purchase price of
      $14,165,000 before acquisition costs which was comprised of
      $5,550,000 cash, 1,614,189 shares of Alpharel common stock, a
      convertible promissory note having a total principal amount of
      $1,000,000 due September 27, 1996 and a bonus paid to employees in
      connection with the acquisition, comprising cash of $1,047,000 and
      100,599 shares of Alpharel common stock. Acquisition costs to be
      incurred by Alpharel are estimated to be $630,000. The adjustment,
      assumed effective Janaury 1, 1994 for purposes of the pro forma
      consolidated financial statements, reflects expensing $10,595,000
      of the purchase price as purchased research and development in
      accordance with "Accounting and Research and Development Costs,"
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2.

      The Company capitalized $1,288,000 related to existing Trimco software
      technology acquired. For purposes of the pro forma financial statements,
      the technology was assumed to have a useful estimated life of four
      years.

      The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
      acquired after the research and development expense totals $4,175,000
      and is recorded as goodwill.

(b)   Reflects amortization of Trimco's existing software technology acquired
      over its useful life of four years.

(c)   Reflects amortization of goodwill over its useful life of seven years.

(d)   Reflects interest expense associated with notes issued at 7% annual
      interest rate in connection with the acquisition. (See (a) above.)

(e)   The pro forma adjustments do not include any charges associated with
      the write down of Alpharel's assets to net realizable value.
