Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation and the holder of all outstanding  capital
stock of the  Registrant  ("Holding"),  pursuant  to the  Agreement  and Plan of
Merger dated as of August 7, 1997 (the  "Merger  Agreement")  among EDS,  Ramcad
Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  and a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  EDS
("Ramcad"),  and Holding.  Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  Ramcad was merged
with and into Holding (the  "Merger"),  with Holding  surviving  the Merger as a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of EDS, and each  outstanding  share of common stock of
Holding  was  converted  into the  right to  receive  $2.60  per  share and each
outstanding  share of Class A Convertible  Preferred Stock - Series 2 of Holding
was converted into the right to receive  $7.6727090241.  All outstanding options
and  warrants  were  converted  into the  right  to  receive  the  consideration
applicable to the shares of stock underlying such options and warrants, less the

became an  indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of EDS.  EDS  acquired  the funds
