On August 8, 1996, the Company completed the purchase of
all of the outstanding stock of RDD, the parent company of GSI
Industrie, a French manufacturing software specialist, from its
shareholders for approximately $1.64 million, of which $820,000
was paid in cash at closing and the remaining balance is
payable in three equal annual installments beginning July,
1997. During the past 15 years, GSI Industrie has designed,
distributed and implemented an integrated and localized
manufacturing system in France, which operates on DEC VAX and
IBM AS400 hardware. The purchase price for the RDD stock was
determined through negotiations. Prior to the acquisition, no
material relationship existed between RDD and the Company or
any of its affiliates, directors or officers, or associates of
such directors or officers. The funds used to acquire the RDD
stock were obtained from general corporate funds.
The Company intends to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 (which will contain
audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for
such period) on or prior to September 30, 1996. This
acquisition is not significant to the Company's June 30, 1996
