                  This   Prospectus   may   be   used   by   persons   ("Selling
Shareholders")  who have  received or will  receive  shares of Common Stock (par

                                  RISK FACTORS

                  The shares offered hereby  represent a speculative  investment
and involve a high degree of risk. Each  prospective  purchaser should carefully
consider the following  risks among other factors before making an investment in
the shares offered hereby.

                  Past  Operating  Losses.  For the fiscal  years ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, the Company has operating revenues of $10,432,000 and $8,079,000,
respectively,  and  a  net  loss  of  $3,491,000  and  net  income  of  $90,000,
respectively.  The Company had net  earnings in only two of the last five fiscal
years.  Previous  losses  have been  funded in part with  proceeds  from  bridge
financings,  in connection  with which the Company issued  promissory  notes and
warrants to purchase Common Stock.

   
                  Working  Capital   Deficiency;   Restrictive   Covenants.   In
connection with the Acquisition  (described more fully herein, see "The Company"
and "Description of the Business"),  the Company issued a promissory note to the
seller of the acquired divisions, which, as amended, is due August 1, 1997. As a
result,  the Company has a working  capital  deficiency on September 30, 1996 of
$3,789,000. The Company will require additional sources of liquidity to fund the
balance of up to $4.6  million  due August 1, 1997 on this note,  as well as the
$1,179,000  balance  due on the  promissory  notes due August 1, 1997 which were
issued in bridge  financings.  The promissory note issued in connection with the
Acquisition is collateralized by all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Digimedics and JAC, subsidiaries of the Company engaged in its pharmaceutical
information  business,  and all of the  assets of  Digimedics.  The note is also
guaranteed by the Company and  restricts  numerous  corporate  activities of the
Company. See "Description of Capital Stock".

                  Variability  of  Operating  Results.  The Company  expects its
revenues and profitability to fluctuate widely from quarter to quarter and, to a
lesser  extent,  from year to year,  because of the small number of  information
systems sold relative to the purchase  price of the systems.  Revenues  earnings
and costs may also vary  significantly  from  period to period and over a longer
time frame depending upon the timing of deliveries,  installation schedules, the
product mix,  variability of hospital  decision  cycles and the  availability to
hospitals of funding for capital expenditures.

                  Hospital  Purchase   Procedures.   Under  hospital   financial
procurement procedures,  the Company's products are treated as capital items. As
such, the sale of new systems can be a lengthy and expensive process,  requiring
from  six to  eighteen  months  and  approval  at  several  levels  of  hospital
management and is dependent on the availability of funds.

                  Possible Delisting. The Board of Directors of The Nasdaq Stock
Market has announced  changes to its maintenance  standards for listing that, if
approved by the SEC in the form  proposed,  would include a net tangible  assets
test which would become effective at the end of a phase-in  period.  The Company
would not be able to meet the proposed test without the infusion of  significant
additional capital. The Pacific Stock Exchange, on which the common



                                        3

<PAGE>


stock also is listed,  has informed the Company that the Company  would not meet
its newly imposed listing  maintenance  criteria based on net worth and tangible
net assets  and,  consequently,  the Company is subject to being  delisted.  The
Company has requested The Pacific Stock Exchange for a delay in the  application
to it of this new listing maintenance criteria. If such listings are terminated,
the liquidity for the  Company's  common stock will be severely  impaired in the
absence of the  development  of a  meaningful  alternative  to The Nasdaq  Stock
Market.

                  Acquisition.  The  realization of the benefits  anticipated by
management  from the acquisition of the Pharmakon and JAC divisions in June 1996
described in "The Company  -Pharmacy  Division - Digimedics  and  Pharmakon" and
"Description  of the Business - Products  -Pharmacy  Division -  Digimedics  and
Pharmakon" is subject to the acceptance of the Company by the acquired company's
customers,  the  integration  of the acquired  products and  personnel and other
risks  typical of business  acquisitions.  Furthermore,  as the Company does not
have  experience  doing business in the United  Kingdom,  the realization of the
benefits from JAC could initially be affected.
    

                  Competition.  Competition  in the hospital  computer  software
industry is intense.  In sales of the  Hemocare  system,  the Company  currently
competes  principally with one other specialty vendor of stand-alone  blood bank
systems (which is of comparable  size) and two  substantially  larger vendors of
laboratory information systems that contain a blood bank subsystem. The Pharmacy
Division competes with numerous companies, including some of the leading vendors
of  healthcare   information   systems.   The   competitors  of  Surgiware  have
significantly  larger installed  bases.  These  competitors  have  substantially
greater technical, marketing, financial and other resources than the Company and
have  established  reputations  for success in developing  and selling  hospital
information systems.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
compete  successfully  in  its  markets.  See  "Description  of the  Business  -
Competition."

   
                  Technological  Obsolescence;  Marketing and  Acceptance of New
Products.   The  computer  software  industry  is  characterized  by  rapid  and
significant  technological  advances.  These advances often result in partial or
total  obsolescence  of  programs  within  a  short  time.  Consequently,  it is
necessary  to  enhance  a system  continuously  and to  modify it for use on new
computer  systems and in new technical  environments.  There can be no assurance
that the  Company  will be able to develop or acquire  new  products  or product
updates at a rate sufficient to keep them  competitive or that such new products
or product  updates will  achieve  market  acceptance.  The  Company's  pharmacy
division has introduced a new client server  pharmacy  system,  WORx, the market
acceptance  of which by new and  existing  customers  will be  important  to the
Company.
    

                  Product  Protection.  The Hemocare and Digimedics  systems are
not  patented  but have  been  copyrighted.  Certain  features  of the  licensed
Surgiware software are covered by a patent held by the licensor.  To protect its
proprietary  software,  the  Company  relies  upon  the  law of  trade  secrets,
nondisclosure agreements with employees, and restrictions on disclosure


                                        4

<PAGE>



and transferability incorporated into agreements with customers. Notwithstanding
these  safeguards,  it is possible for  competitors of the Company to obtain its
trade  secrets  and  to  imitate  its  products.  Furthermore,  there  can be no
assurance that others will not  independently  develop software products similar
to those developed or planned by the Company.

                  Government Regulation.  The adequacy of blood bank information
management  and record  keeping is subject to inspection  and review by the Food
and Drug  Administration  ("FDA")  which is in the  process  of  developing  new
guidelines  which it intends to apply to blood bank  information  systems and to
the inspection of vendors of such systems.  Hemocare and the Company are subject
to the jurisdiction of the FDA as suppliers of medical devices.  The Company has
dedicated  substantial  time  and  resources  in its  attempts  to  comply  with
applicable  guidelines  and  regulations  and believes that it is in substantial
compliance  therewith,  but cannot predict whether it will be in compliance with
any future  guidelines,  regulations  or inspection  procedures.  Non-compliance
could have a material  adverse effect on the  operations of the Company.  Any of
the Company's other  activities  could also become subject to  Congressional  or
governmental   agency  efforts  to  establish  or  expand   governmental  agency
jurisdiction. See "Description of the Business - Government Regulation."

                  Dependence Upon Key Employees. The success of the Company will
depend, in part, on its continuing  ability to attract and retain key employees.
If the Company  loses the  services of its key  employees,  or if the Company is
unable to attract and retain additional qualified personnel,  its business could
be materially adversely affected.

                  No Dividends.  The Company has no present  intention of paying
cash  dividends on its Common Stock.  Future  earnings,  if any, will be used to
finance the development and continued  expansion of its business.  See "Dividend
Policy."

   
                  Shares   Eligible   For  Future   Sale.      The  holders  of
substantially  all of the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock are free to sell
their  shares  and/or  in some  instances  have the right to have  their  shares
included in one or more  registration  statements  under the Securities Act. The
possibility that  substantial  amounts of Common Stock may be sold in the public
market may adversely  affect  prevailing  market prices for the Common Stock and
could  impair the  Company's  ability to raise  capital  through the sale of its
equity securities. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
    

                  Authorized Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue
10,000,000  shares of  preferred  stock,  the terms of which may be fixed by the
Board of  Directors.  The effects of any  issuance of  preferred  stock upon the
rights of holders of Common Stock could be negative, depending upon the terms of
the preferred stock. Such effects might include:  (a) reduction of the amount of
funds  otherwise  available  for,  and  restrictions  on,  the  payment  of cash
dividends on Common Stock; (b) dilution of the voting power of the Common Stock;
and (c) inability to share in the assets of the Company upon  liquidation  until
satisfaction of liquidation preferences of preferred stock.

                                   THE COMPANY

                  Mediware   Information   Systems,   Inc.  (together  with  its
subsidiaries,   the  "Company"  or  "Mediware")  develops,  sells  and  supports
computer-based  management  information  systems  for  use in  various  clinical
departments  of  hospitals.  The systems are designed to automate the data these
departments  provide hospital  management and therefore  increase  productivity,
reduce  operating  costs,  enhance  revenues and improve  quality  assurance and
patient   care.   These   benefits  are  of  critical   importance  to  hospital
administrators  who face  increasing  financial  and  regulatory  pressures.  At
present, the Company offers systems for three different  departments:  the blood
bank,  the  pharmacy  and  the  surgical  suite.  With  the  completion  of  the
Acquisition referred to below the installed base of clinical information systems
has increased to approximately 825 clients.

                  The  Company  was   incorporated   in  1980.   The   Company's

HEMOCARE

                  The Company's  cornerstone  product is one of North  America's
leading blood bank information  systems,  and is sold either "stand-alone" or as
part of an  integrated  "LAB/Blood  Bank"  system.  The system was  designed  in
collaboration  with  Memorial  Sloan-Kettering  Cancer  Center in New York City.
Hemocare's  software programs are organized into subsystems  performing over 200
functions of which the major ones (a) manage and control  blood  inventory;  (b)
perform  long-term  donor and transfusion  record keeping;  (c) store and manage
characteristics  of blood  products to be transfused;  (d) maintain  patient and
transfusion  records;  (e) maintain the records of patient test results; and (f)
automate  billing and workload  recording.  The Hemocare  system is installed in
approximately  250  hospitals  which  range in size from 100 beds to over  1,600
beds.

PHARMACY DIVISION - DIGIMEDICS AND PHARMAKON

                  In May of 1990, the Company acquired  Digimedics  Corporation,
one of the  country's  leading  vendors in  information  management  systems for
hospital pharmacies.


                                        6

<PAGE>



Digimedics  had been  developing  and selling  products and services to hospital
pharmacies since 1976. In the mid-1980's,  Digimedics  introduced the first open
systems  version of a  comprehensive  pharmacy  information  management  system.
Digimedics  Corporation  is a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company.  Over 130
Digimedics  systems have been  installed at 121 hospitals  (some  hospitals have
separate systems for inpatient and outpatient pharmacies).

   
                  At the end of 1996,  Digimedics introduced a new client server
pharmacy system called  "Digimedics/WORx",  which will have a complete Microsoft
Windows based  graphical user  interface,  which the Company feels will increase
the attractiveness of the system.
    

                  The  Acquisition.  On June 17,  1996,  Digimedics  Corporation
acquired certain assets of the U.S. based Pharmakon division ("Pharmakon") and a
pharmacy  management  system  operating  in the  United  Kingdom,  JAC  Computer
Service,   LTD.  ("JAC"),   of  Continental   Healthcare   Systems,   Inc.  (the
"Acquisition"),  which  are being  incorporated  into the  Company's  Digimedics
operation.  The  addition of  Pharmakon  and its client base has  increased  the
Company's  installed base of clinical  information  systems to approximately 825
(over 500 of which are pharmacy system  installations).  This places the Company
in the  position  of  providing  the  largest  number  of  stand-alone  pharmacy
information  systems in the country.  The Acquisition  also provides the Company
with an international  presence;  JAC has approximately 180 pharmacy information
systems installed in the United Kingdom.

SURGIWARE

                  In September of 1990, the Company licensed the right to market
and relicense the Surgiware  system for use in surgical  suites.  Surgiware is a
comprehensive  information system for managing the human resources,  facilities,
equipment and supplies  required for surgery.  The Surgiware  system  integrates
clinical data  capture,  inventory and  equipment  control  scheduling,  quality
assurance and report  writing.  For example,  the system contains a program that
presents a proprietary,  real time moving  schedule on a color graphics  display
allowing the user to visually identify potential scheduling conflicts based upon
what is happening in the surgical suite at the moment,  and to test  alternative
solutions  on the  system.  The core of the system is in its  unique  ability to
gather and disseminate data at the point of care, providing unique advantages to
hospitals  in need  of  timely,  accurate  data on  their  surgical  activities.
Additional  modules and functions  can be added,  such as a clinical data module
that  keeps  track  of  all  aspects  of  a   patient's   treatment,   including
pre-operative and post-operative control.

                  The Company's  marketing is concentrated on the  approximately
1,000  hospitals  that  have more than 300 beds and 10  operating  rooms,  where
studies indicate that approximately 80% of all surgical services in this country
are performed. The Company has installed 25 Surgiware sites.

                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

                The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock and has
no present  intention to pay cash  dividends on its Common Stock.  Earnings,  if
any,  will be used to finance the  development  and  continued  expansion of the
Company's  business.  The Company is prohibited from paying dividends so long as
the  promissory   note  issued  to  Continental  in  the   Acquisition   remains
outstanding.

                           DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

                The  Company   develops,   sells  and  supports   computer-based
management  information  systems  for use in  various  clinical  departments  of
hospitals.  The systems are  designed  to  automate  the data these  departments
provide hospital management and therefore increase


                                        8

<PAGE>



productivity,  reduce  operating  costs,  enhance  revenues and improve  quality
assurance  and  patient  care.  These  benefits  are of critical  importance  to
hospital  administrators who face increasing financial and regulatory pressures.
At present,  the Company offers  systems for three  different  departments:  the
blood bank,  the pharmacy and the surgical  suite.  With the  completion  of the
Acquisition referred to below the installed base of clinical information systems
has increased to approximately 825 clients.  The Company's operations are within
one industry segment.

Products

                HEMOCARE  - The  Company's  cornerstone  product is one of North
America's   leading  blood  bank  information   systems,   and  is  sold  either
"stand-alone" or as part of an integrated  "LAB/Blood  Bank" system.  The system
was designed in collaboration with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New
York City. Hemocare's software programs are organized into subsystems performing
over 200  functions  of which  the  major  ones (a)  manage  and  control  blood
inventory; (b) perform long-term donor and transfusion record keeping; (c) store
and manage  characteristics  of blood  products to be  transfused;  (d) maintain
patient and  transfusion  records;  (e)  maintain  the  records of patient  test
results; and (f) automate billing and workload recording.

                Hemocare's core technology is the UNIX operating  system and the
"C" programming  language,  allowing it to run on multiple  hardware  platforms.
Current  versions of the system are ported to the IBM RS/6000,  as well as Intel
PC  technologies.  The scalability of these platforms allows Hemocare to address
the needs of virtually any size hospital. Hemocare has been the first to attempt
to market innovative product  enhancements such as Validation  Templates,  Video
Validation,  Standard Integration Module and Mock Regulatory Inspection. At this
time  Hemocare is the only blood  banker to offer these  products,  which assist
customers  in  their  efforts  to  remain   compliant  with  regulatory   agency
guidelines.  The Standard  Integration  Module was instrumental in the growth of
laboratory vendors, who have integrated and remarketed this product. The Company
currently has  remarketing  agreements with HBO and Company,  Citation  Computer
Systems,  Inc.,  Dynacor,  Inc.,  Keane,  Inc.,  NLFC,  Inc. and Shared  Medical
Systems, Inc.

                The Hemocare system is installed in approximately  250 hospitals
which range in size from 100 beds to over 1,600 beds.

                PHARMACY  DIVISION - DIGIMEDICS  AND PHARMAKON - In May of 1990,
the  Company  acquired  Digimedics  Corporation,  one of the  country's  leading
vendors in information  management systems for hospital  pharmacies.  Digimedics
had been  developing  and selling  products and services to hospital  pharmacies
since 1976.  In the  mid-1980's,  Digimedics  introduced  the first open systems
version of a comprehensive  pharmacy information  management system.  Digimedics
Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

                The  benefits  of  Digimedics  include  (a)  potential  customer
savings  through the automation of drug formulary and perpetual  inventory;  (b)
potential enhanced revenues through


                                        9

<PAGE>



more accurate and complete  patient  billing;  (c) improved patient care by more
accurate drug dispensing,  automatic checking of adverse drug-drug  interactions
and  automatic  checking  of  previously   recorded  drug  allergies;   and  (d)
interfacing  with other hospital  information  systems,  drug  wholesalers,  and
various  dispensing  machines,  such as PYXIS and the automated  Pharmacy System
robotics devices.

                The current  version of  Digimedics,  called  "Digimedics XA for
Windows," is based on the UNIX operating system,  the "C" programming  language,
and  the  UNIFY  relational  database  management  system.  Although  largely  a
"character  based"  application,  certain  Microsoft  Windows features have been
included,  offering the Company certain sales advantages by providing  customers
and prospective customers with the type of graphical user interface they prefer.

   
                  At the end of 1996,  Digimedics introduced a new client server
pharmacy system called  "Digimedics/WORx".  WORx (Windows, Open, Rx) will have a
complete  Microsoft  Windows based graphical user  interface,  which the Company
feels will increase the  attractiveness  of the system.  Also, new  technologies
include integration features such as the Informix relational database management
system,  point and click Windows based ad-hoc report writing,  and an integrated
inpatient/outpatient database.
    

Other WORx features will include:

o  Support of clinical pathways.
o  A clinical database and drug monographs.
o  Incorporation  of an  extensive  array of  clinical  drug  alerts  concerning
   allergy,   diagnosis,   dose,  food,  IV  incompatibility,   interaction  and
   therapeutic duplication.
o  Foreign-language patient education monographs.
o  Customization to meet community standards.

                By taking advantage of its open architecture, WORx is capable of
linking with expert systems,  decision-support  software and clinical databases.
WORx will act as the central hub of information in the pharmacy and will provide
specialized tools for all aspects of pharmaceutical  care including order entry,
distribution,  outcomes, billing,  utilization evaluation,  education,  critical
pathways, purchasing and research.

                WORx can adapt  into a  diversity  of  hardware  and  networking
environments.  Utilizing  technologies  such as the UNIX operation  system,  C++
programming language,  Informix, and Microsoft Windows 95, WORx is positioned as
a state of the art client/server solution.

                Over 130 Digimedics systems have been installed at 121 hospitals
(some hospitals have separate systems for inpatient and outpatient  pharmacies),
including the University of California Medical Center, San Francisco; University
Medical Center, Las Vegas;  Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York City;
Shands Hospital at the University of Florida,


                                       10

Gainesville;   University  of  Kansas  Medical  Center,  Kansas  City;  and  the
University of Michigan Hospitals and Clinics, Ann Arbor.

                As noted above, on June 17, 1996, the Company  acquired  certain
assets  of the  U.S.  based  Pharmakon  division  and the  U.K.  based  JAC from
Continental   Healthcare  Systems,   Inc.   ("Continental"),   which  are  being
incorporated into the Company's Digimedics operation.  The addition of Pharmakon
and its client  base has  increased  the  Company's  installed  base of clinical
information  systems to approximately 825 (over 500 of which are pharmacy system
installations). This places the Company in the position of providing the largest
number  of  stand-alone   pharmacy  information  systems  in  the  country.  The
Acquisition  also provides the Company with an international  presence;  JAC has
approximately 180 pharmacy information systems installed in the United Kingdom.

                Pharmakon  and  JAC,  which   generated  sales  and  service  of
approximately $8.4 million in the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, markets a
management information system for hospital pharmacies. The Acquisition has added
approximately  415 hospital systems and 235 hospitals to the Company's  customer
base in the United States and an additional 180 customers in the United Kingdom.

                Pharmakon had been providing  pharmacy systems for almost twenty
years. Management has begun its efforts to convert Pharmakon's U.S. customers to
the Digimedics WORx system. Pending this conversion, the Company has assumed the
existing support and maintenance contracts and expects to generate approximately
$3.4  million per year in service  revenues by  continuing  to service the newly
acquired  customers.  Through the  Acquisition,  the Company  will also  acquire
certain  technologies  which are currently under development and are expected to
be integrated into future systems offerings of Digimedics.

                The  Company's  management  team  believes  there exists  strong
parallels  between its current  Digimedics  customer base and that of Pharmakon,
both of which include not only large  university  hospitals and multi-site acute
care facilities,  but also progressive community,  municipal, and long-term care
facilities. Management has retained approximately 43 of Pharmakon's 75 employees
in the U.S.

                SURGIWARE - In September of 1990, the Company licensed the right
to market  and  relicense  the  Surgiware  system  for use in  surgical  suites.
Surgiware  is  a  comprehensive   information  system  for  managing  the  human
resources,   facilities,  equipment  and  supplies  required  for  surgery.  The
Surgiware  system  integrates  clinical  data  capture,  inventory and equipment
control  scheduling,  quality  assurance and report  writing.  For example,  the
system contains a program that presents a proprietary, real time moving schedule
on a color graphics  display  allowing the user to visually  identify  potential
scheduling  conflicts  based upon what is happening in the surgical suite at the
moment, and to test alternative  solutions on the system. The core of the system
is in its unique  ability to gather and  disseminate  data at the point of care,
providing  unique  advantages  to hospitals in need of timely,  accurate data on
their surgical  activities.  Additional modules and functions can be added, such
as a clinical data module that


                                       11

<PAGE>



keeps track of all aspects of a patient's treatment, including pre-operative and
post-operative control.

                The  benefits  of  a   fully-implemented   system   include  (a)
improvement in the efficiency and output of operating  rooms; (b) improvement in
the management of staffing, equipment and supplies; (c) improvement in inventory
controls;  and (d) incremental  billings resulting from procedures that, without
Surgiware,  might be overlooked  for billing  purposes  because they either were
unplanned  or fall  outside the  billing  category  for the  planned  procedure.
Surgiware  also  integrates  clinical  data  capture,   and  equipment  control,
scheduling,  quality assurance and report writing.  These benefits can translate
into significant  revenues and savings since the surgical suite usually produces
more revenue than any other  department  and is the greatest  cost center in the
hospital.  The record keeping  functions of Surgiware can also be of significant
benefit  in  the  areas  of  quality   assurance,   risk  management,   and  the
accreditation of physicians.

                Surgiware uses the UNIX operating  system,  the "C"  programming
language,  the INFORMIX SQL 4th generation  relational  database manager,  and a
fault-tolerant  architecture that allows the personal computer that is placed in
each  operating room to operate  independently  in the event of a failure of the
central  Surgiware  computer.  The system has been ported to the IBM RS-6000 and
the Data  General  AViiON  series,  and to 386,  486 and Pentium IBM  compatible
personal computers.

                The Company's  marketing is  concentrated  on the  approximately
1,000  hospitals  that  have more than 300 beds and 10  operating  rooms,  where
studies indicate that approximately 80% of all surgical services in this country
are performed. The Company has installed 25 Surgiware sites.

                In 1992,  the  licensor of Surgiware  commenced  an  arbitration
against  the  Company  which,  in late 1994,  led to a decision  in favor of the
Company  which  confirmed  the  Company's  license  for the  Surgiware  product,
including  improvements  developed by the licensor. The arbitral panel confirmed
the  Company's  right to retain  exclusivity  for the  Surgiware  product and to
license another generic hospital  scheduling  software product  developed by the
licensor upon the payment of  additional  royalties.  The Company  determined in
early 1995 that the benefits of exclusivity and the generic hospital product did
not justify the required additional royalty payments.  The Company has initiated
negotiations  with the licensor of the Surgiware  system to replace the existing
royalty arrangement with a fully paid-up license,  requiring  additional royalty
payments  only in the case of a  simultaneous  sale by the  Company of  multiple
sublicenses.  In the course of these negotiations the licensor has asserted that
the Company has breached the existing  license  agreement.  The Company believes
that this  assertion is  meritless  and is being made for  negotiating  purposes
only.

Sales and Marketing

                The Company's  three products are sold directly by ten full-time
sales people,  as well as four Company  officers,  with the  assistance of seven
clinical   specialists  who  demonstrate  the  systems  and  address   technical
questions.  The Company continues an on-going,  in-house lead generation program
that generates  numerous sales leads.  Sales leads and support are received from
certain  hardware  manufacturers,  especially IBM  Corporation  and Data General
Corporation, whose products the Company sells as a Value Added Reseller ("VAR").
The Company's  products are also sold increasingly  through  remarketers who are
vendors of laboratory and other  information  systems that offer Company systems
as subsystems of their  product.  The Company has entered into  agreements  with
vendors such as HBO and Company (for both STAR and ALS product lines),  Citation
Computer  Systems,  Inc.,  Dynacor,  Inc.,  Keane,  Inc.,  NLFC, Inc. and Shared
Medical Systems, Inc.

Software Support and Hardware Maintenance Services

                The Company provides comprehensive service to its installed base
of  customers  through  its  own  service  organization.  Virtually  all  of the
Company's  customers  enter into  software  support  agreements  with either the
Company  or its  resellers  which  are  renewed  either  annually  or at  longer
intervals  but, in the case of former  Pharmakon  customers,  may be canceled by
either party on 60 days notice.  These agreements  generally provide for 24-hour
access to customer support staff, as well as periodic product enhancements and a
limited product  warranty,  for which the customer pays a monthly fee subject to
cancellation  after a specified notice period.  Some of the Company's  customers
have also entered into  agreements for hardware  maintenance,  which the Company
generally  subcontracts  to hardware  manufacturers.  As of June 30,  1996,  the
Company had software support and hardware  maintenance  agreements providing for
periodic payments totaling  approximately  $7.94 million on an annualized basis,
including the revenues of Pharmakon.

                HEMOCARE and  DIGIMEDICS  are  trademarks of the Company and its
subsidiary, Digimedics Corporation, respectively.

Competition

                The competition in the market for clinical  information  systems
is intense.  The  principal  competitive  factors are the  functionality  of the
system,  its design and  capabilities,  site references,  reputation for ongoing
support,  the  potential for  enhancements,  price and  salesmanship.  Different
dynamics and competitors, however, affect each of the Company's products.

                HEMOCARE -- The Company currently competes  principally with one
other specialty vendor of stand-alone  blood bank systems (Western Star,  Inc.),
which is a company of comparable size, and with two vendors (Cerner  Corporation
and  Sunquest  Information  Systems,  Inc.) of  laboratory  information  systems
("LIS") that contain a blood bank subsystem.


                                       13

<PAGE>



The LIS vendors are much larger  companies  with greater  technical,  marketing,
financial and other resources than the Company, and have established reputations
for success in developing and selling hospital information systems.

                PHARMACY  DIVISION  --  The  Company  currently   competes  with
numerous  companies,  including  some  of  the  leading  vendors  of  healthcare
information  systems.  As a result of the Acquisition of Pharmakon,  the Company
believes that it has the largest number of stand-alone hospital pharmacy systems
in its market.  Many  competitors  have  established  reputations for success in
developing  and  selling  medical  information  systems  and  have  far  greater
resources than the Company.  The principal  competitors of the Pharmacy Division
are  believed  to be Cerner  Corporation,  BDM  Corp.,  HCS Corp.  and  Pharmacy
Computer  Systems,  Inc., as well as numerous  providers of complete  healthcare
information systems.

                SURGIWARE -- The  competitors  of Surgiware  have  significantly
larger  installed bases and have  substantially  greater  technical,  marketing,
financial and other resources than the Company and have established  reputations
for  success  in  developing  and  selling  hospital  information  systems.  The
principal vendors competing with the Surgiware system are believed to be Serving
Software Incorporated,  a wholly owned subsidiary of HBO and Company, Enterprise
Systems  Incorporated,  and Atwork  Corporation,  a wholly owned  subsidiary  of
Medaphis Corporation.

Copyright, Patents and Trade Secrets

                The Company has relied  primarily  on  copyright,  trade  secret
protection  and  confidentiality  agreements  for  protection  of  its  software
systems.  Certain  features of the Surgiware system are covered by a patent held
by the licensor.

Government Regulation

                The hospitals that comprise the primary market for the Company's
products  must  comply  with  various  federal,  state  and local  statutes  and
regulations.  The  adequacy  of blood  bank  information  management  and record
keeping is subject to inspection and review by the FDA. Hemocare and other blood
bank  systems  are also  subject to  regulation  by the FDA as medical  devices.
Consequently, the Company and its competitors who provide blood bank information
management  systems are also subject to the jurisdiction of the FDA as suppliers
of medical devices. The Company has dedicated  substantial time and resources in
its attempts to comply with  applicable  guidelines and regulations and believes
that it is in substantial compliance therewith.  Legislation has been introduced
in Congress seeking to expand the jurisdiction of the FDA, and the FDA is in the
process of  developing  new  guidelines  which it intends to apply to blood bank
information  systems  and to the  inspection  of  vendors of such  systems.  The
Company  cannot  predict  whether  it  will  be in  compliance  with  these  new
guidelines  or any future  guidelines,  regulations  or  inspection  procedures.
Non-compliance with any such guidelines,  regulations or procedures could have a
material  adverse effect on the operations of vendors of blood bank  information
systems, including the Company. Any of the Company's other activities


                                       14

<PAGE>



could also become subject to  Congressional  or  governmental  agency efforts to
establish or expand governmental agency jurisdiction.

Miscellaneous

                The Company's software development expenditures were as follows:
during fiscal 1996 -- $1,438,000;  during fiscal 1995 -- $1,387,000;  and during
fiscal  1994  --  $1,791,000.   These  expenditures   included  write-downs  and
amortization  of software  development  costs.  In addition,  software  costs of
$496,000, $356,000 and $367,000, respectively, were capitalized in each year. In
addition,  the Company  purchased  $3,891,000 of research and development in the
Acquisition  of  Pharmakon  and JAC,  which  upon  acquisition  were  charged to
operations.

                The Company's  business is not dependent on a single customer or
a few customers. The Company considers that its market area and customer base is
the  United  States  and  Canada.  However,  the  Company  intends to market its
products in the United Kingdom in fiscal 1997 through JAC.

Employees

                As of June 30, 1996, the Company had 138 full-time employees and
12  part-time  employees,  including 27 in sales and  marketing,  92 in customer
support and product  development,  and 19 in  administration.  No employees  are
represented by a labor union and the Company considers its employee relations to
be good.

                                   PROPERTIES

                The Company's corporate  headquarters are in Melville, New York,
where the Company  occupies  approximately  5,738 square feet under a lease that
expires on July 31, 1998. The  Digimedics  division is  headquartered  in Scotts
Valley, California,  where the Company occupies approximately 11,646 square feet
under a lease expiring on May 1, 2001. The Pharmakon  Division is  headquartered
in Overland Park, Kansas, where the company occupies approximately 13,683 square
feet under a lease  expiring on September 30, 1998.  The United Kingdom group is
headquartered in Basildon, Essex, where the Company occupies approximately 2,567
square feet under a lease expiring on September 26, 2004.  The Company  believes
that its  facilities  are adequate for its current needs and that, if necessary,
it will have no difficulty in securing alternate facilities at the expiration of
its current leases.

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

Internal and External Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

   
                In   June  of  1996,  Digimedics  Corporation,  a  wholly  owned
subsidiary  of the Company,  purchased  the  Pharmakon  division and JAC, a U.K.
affiliate, from Continental. The




                                       15

<PAGE>




total purchase price, net of acquisition  costs, was approximately $9.7 million,
$3.7 million of which was paid in cash and the  remaining  $6.0 million of which
was paid in the form of a promissory note issued to Continental bearing interest
at Citibank  N.A.'s base rate due November 30,  1996.  On October 28, 1996,  the
promissory  note was  amended to  provide  for an  extension  of the due date to
August 1,  1997.  The  amendment  provides  for a payment  of $1.0  million  for
principal  reduction and monthly  payments  thereafter of $100,000 for principal
and  interest  and an  increase  in the  interest  rate to 15% on  approximately
$3,763,000  of the note (with the original  rate  remaining on  $1,237,000).  At
September 30, 1996, outstanding balance of this liability,  $6.0 million (before
the $1.0 million payment), is classified as current. In October 1996 the Company
paid to Continental the $1.0 million payment to reduce outstanding principal and
made the monthly  payments of $100,000 on November 30,  1996,  December 31, 1996
and January 31, 1997. The Company will require  additional  sources of liquidity
to fund a net balance of up to $4.6 million of debt due August 1, 1997.
    

                To finance the cash portion of the Acquisition, the Company made
a private  placement of 1,692,308 shares of its Common Stock in June of 1996, at
a price of $3.25 per share, for total proceeds before expenses of $5,500,002.

                The Company had a working  capital  deficiency  of $3,789,000 at
September 30, 1996  reflecting the purchase money note due in August 1997 issued
in June 1996 to Continental in partial payment for the Acquisition.

   
                In order to cover its cash needs  during  fiscal  years 1994 and
1995,  the Company  carried out  financing  programs  under which it borrowed an
aggregate of $1,299,000 from investors,  including Company directors. As part of
the financing  package,  such investors received 1,040,025 warrants at $0.50 per
share and  129,695  warrants  at $1.25 per share.  During  fiscal  year 1996 the
Company repaid $120,000,  leaving a balance of $1,179,000 due August 1, 1997. As
noted in the third  preceding  paragraph,  the Company will  require  additional
sources  of  liquidity  to fund  this  balance  due.  In May of 1996 some of the
investors  exercised  495,025 of the $0.50  warrants for a total of $247,512.  A
portion of these funds was used by the Company for Acquisition expenses.
    

                The Company has  acquired a credit  facility of $75,000 from its
bank in New York. As of September 30, 1996, the facility has $75,000  available.
The  Company  currently  is seeking  additional  sources of credit and equity in
order to fund the reduction of its  obligations  under the above mentioned note.
However, it cannot be assured at this time that it will be successful.

Material Changes in Results of Operations:  Three Months Ended September 30 1996
vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 1995:

   
                System Sales Revenue increased  overall by $286,000,  or 19%, to
$1,818,000  for the first three months of fiscal 1997 ended  September  30, 1996
compared to $1,532,000 for the



                                       16

<PAGE>



comparable  period a year  earlier.  $421,000 of this increase was due to system
sales of the Pharmakon and JAC product centers.

                Service Revenues increased by $1,555,000, or 157%, to $2,541,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 versus $986,000 for the comparable
period  in  1995.  Substantially  all of this  increase  is due to the  revenues
realized from the addition of the Pharmakon and JAC divisions.  The remainder is
due to new  systems  installed  in the first  quarter  and  increases  in annual
support  revenues from the installed  base. In connection  with the  acquisition
described  below,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with  Continental  to
perform certain of  Continental's  obligations to provide services for customers
of Continental,  including the installation of systems, customizing systems, and
providing  hardware.  The  agreement  also  provides  for the  Company to assist
Continental  in  the   collection  of  certain  billed  and  unbilled   accounts
receivable,  principally  due from the  customers  who will  receive  the  above
mentioned  services.  For performing  these services,  the Company is to be paid
approximately  $1,237,000 plus 30% of the amounts collected for Continental.  In
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996 the Company  recognized  $215,000 of
such service income based on the percentage of completion method.

                Cost of Systems  increased by $338,000,  or 77%, to $775,000 for
the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996  compared to $437,000 for the same
period  last  year.  Approximately  56% of this  increase  was due to  increased
systems  costs of  Pharmakon  and JAC.  The balance of the increase was due to a
significant  number of hardware  installations  in this  quarter at the Hemocare
product center, resulting in higher cost of sales as a percentage of sales.

                Costs of Services increased by $326,000, or 72%, to $774,000 for
the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996  compared to $448,000 for the same
period last year.  All of this increase was due to service costs  resulting from
the addition of Pharmakon.

                Software  Development  costs  increased by $264,000,  or 77%, to
$605,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 compared to $341,000 for
the same period last year. All of this increase was due to software  development
costs of JAC and Pharmakon.

                Selling,  General and Administrative (S.G.A.) costs increased by
$652,000,  or 68%, to $1,606,000  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996
compared to $954,000 for the same period last year.  This reflects the increased
S.G.A.  expenses  caused by the  addition of the  Pharmakon  and JAC  divisions,
accounting for approximately 80% of the total. The remainder  reflects increased
commissions and employee incentive bonus expenses from Hemocare and Digimedics.

               Interest Expense increased by $101,000, or 168%, to $161,000 for
the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996  compared to $60,000 for the same
period last year, reflecting interest on the note to Continental.

                 Net Earnings increased by $168,000, or 60%, to $446,000 for the
three months ended  September  30, 1996 compared to $278,000 for the like period
last  year.  The  increased  net  earnings  are due to profits  produced  by the
Pharmakon and JAC divisions of Mediware .
    

Material Changes in Results of Operations: Fiscal 1996 vs. Fiscal 1995:

   
                Total revenues  increased by $2,353,000,  or 29%, to $10,432,000
in  fiscal  1996  from  $8,079,000  in fiscal  1995.  Approximately  80% of this
increase was due to the improved performance of the Hemocare product center.

                System Sales  increased by $1,957,000,  or 51%, to $5,781,000 in
fiscal 1996 from  $3,824,000  in fiscal  1995.  Almost 80% of this  increase was
attributable to increased sales of new systems by the Hemocare product center in
conjunction  with its remarketers  and an aggressive  upgrade program which took
advantage  of the  pressure on hospitals  to  consolidate  onto current  product
revisions.

                Service Revenues increased by $396,000,  or 9%, to $4,651,000 in
fiscal 1996 from $4,255,000 in fiscal 1995.  Approximately  60% of this increase
was due to  increases  in service  revenues  from newly  installed  systems  and
additional modules added to existing  customer's  systems.  The remainder of the
increase was provided by Pharmakon.

                Cost of Systems increased by $787,000,  or 64%, to $2,023,000 in
fiscal 1996 from $1,236,000 in fiscal 1995. Of this increase, 66% was due to the
increase in the cost of sales by the Hemocare product center that included sales
of hardware and 25% was due to an increase in system costs at Digimedics.

                Cost of Services increased by $163,000, or 13%, to $1,403,000 in
fiscal 1996 from  $1,240,000 in fiscal 1995.  Almost all of this increase is due
to additional  personnel and other related costs of providing customer services,
specifically in the Hemocare product center.

                Software  Development  costs  increased  by  $51,000,  or 4%, to
$1,438,000 in fiscal 1996 from  $1,387,000 in fiscal 1995, due to an increase in
software engineering personnel and development costs from Pharmakon.

                Selling,  General and  Administrative  increased  by  $830,000,
or 20%, to $4,966,000 in fiscal 1996 from $4,136,000 in fiscal 1995. Each of the
product centers had increased costs due to product marketing, product consulting
and incentive  commission  payouts payout.  Approximately 64% of these increases
was provided by the Hemocare product center.

                Interest Expense of $216,000 for fiscal 1996, decreased by 
$33,000, or 13%, as compared to interest expense of $249,000 in fiscal 1995. The
decrease  is  primarily  due to the fact that fiscal 1996 did not include a debt
discount as did fiscal 1995,  coupled with  interest  incurred in fiscal 1996 on
outstanding loans.




                                       18

<PAGE>



                The  Company had a net loss of  $3,491,000  in fiscal  1996,  or
$1.24 per share,  as compared to net earnings of $90,000 in fiscal 1995, or $.04
per share,  which  reflects the charge to  operations  of acquired  research and
development of $3,891,000  from the Pharmakon  Acquisition.  If this charge were
excluded,  however,  net income would  result in $400,000,  or $.12 and $.11 per
share on a primary and fully diluted  basis,  respectively,  in fiscal 1996. The
fiscal 1996 loss of the  Surgiware  division  was  comparable  to that in fiscal
1995.
    

Material Changes in Results of Operations: Fiscal 1995 vs. Fiscal 1994:

                Total  revenues  decreased by $198,000,  or 2%, to $8,079,000 in
fiscal 1995 from  $8,277,000 in fiscal 1994.  This decrease was due to the sales
of more  software-only  systems and to slower  sales of the  Surgiware  Product,
reflecting  uncertainties resulting from an arbitration that concluded in fiscal
1995 (as described in "Description of the Business", above).

   
                System Sales decreased by $906,000,  or 19%, to $3,824,000
in fiscal 1995 from  $4,730,000  in fiscal  1994.  This was due to a decrease of
sales of hardware as a system  component  and a larger  number of software  only
systems sold, and decreases in Surgiware's  sales due to the arbitration,  which
caused uncertainties in the marketplace in fiscal 1995.

                Service  Revenues  increased by  $708,000,  or 20%, to
$4,255,000 in fiscal 1995 from $3,547,000 in fiscal 1994. This was due primarily
to product maintenance increases relating to an increased installed base.

                Cost of  Systems  decreased  by  $858,000,  or 41%,  to
$1,236,000 in fiscal 1995 from  $2,094,000 in fiscal 1994. This decrease was due
primarily to a larger number of software-only systems in fiscal 1995 as compared
to sales software and hardware in fiscal 1994.

                Cost of Services  increased  by  $151,000,  or 14%, to
$1,240,000  in fiscal 1995 from  $1,089,000  in fiscal 1994,  as the Company had
increased  the  number of  personnel  and other  related  costs of the  customer
support organization.

                Software Development costs decreased by $404,000, or
23%, to $1,387,000 in fiscal 1995 from  $1,791,000 in fiscal 1994.  The decrease
is primarily  due to a decrease in Surgiware  development  and the result of the
write-off of $242,000 of capitalized software in fiscal 1994.

                Selling,  General  and  Administrative  increased  by  $277,000,
or 7%, to  $4,136,000  in 1995 from  $3,859,000  in 1994.  The  increase  is due
primarily to increased  payroll and travel expenses,  commissions,  professional
fees and employee health insurance claims.
    
                The Company  expensed costs of $1,222,000 in connection with the
arbitration  in fiscal 1994.  Such costs  included  $208,000,  which the Company
intended to pay the licensor to retain exclusivity;  the balance was principally
legal fees and expenses in connection with the  arbitration.  During fiscal 1995
the  Company,  after review of the then  current  circumstances,  decided not to


                                       19

<PAGE>



elect to make the payments required to maintain  exclusivity.  Accordingly,  the
$208,000 accrued expense recorded in the prior year was eliminated, resulting in
increased income.

   
                Interest Expense of $249,000,  including  approximately
$100,000 in debt discount, for fiscal 1995 was incurred on the interim financing
from investors  referred to above and the loans to the Company from the chairman
of the board.
    

                The Company had a net profit of $90,000 for fiscal 1995, or $.04
per share,  compared to a net loss of $1,902,000,  or $.75 per share,  in fiscal
1994. The net profit is due to the  elimination  of arbitration  costs in fiscal
1995 and the improvement in gross profits.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

                The Company is authorized to issue  12,000,000  shares of Common
Stock,  par value $.10 per share, of which 4,939,344 shares of Common Stock were
issued and outstanding as of October 31, 1996,  held of record by  approximately
209  persons.  The  Common  Stock  presently   outstanding  is  fully  paid  and
non-assessable.

                Each  outstanding  share of Common Stock  entitles the holder to
one vote on all matters  requiring a vote of shareholders.  There is no right to
cumulative  voting;  thus,  the  holders  of 50%  percent  or more of the shares
outstanding can, if they choose to do so, elect all Directors of the Company.

                Subject to the  rights of  holders  of any  series of  preferred
stock that may be issued in the future, the holders of Common Stock are entitled
to receive  dividends  when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of
funds  legally  available  therefor.  See "Dividend  Policy".  In the event of a
voluntary or  involuntary  liquidation  of the  Company,  all  shareholders  are
entitled to a pro rata distribution of the assets of the Company remaining after
payment of claims of creditors  and  liquidation  preferences  of any  preferred
stock.  Shareholders  have no  preemptive  rights to  subscribe  for  additional
shares.

                The  Transfer  Agent  for the  Common  Stock of the  Company  is
American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005.

                The Company is also  authorized  to issue  10,000,000  shares of
preferred stock,  the terms of which may be fixed by the Board of Directors.  It
is not possible to state the actual effect of any  authorization  of one or more
series of  preferred  stock upon the rights of holders of Common Stock until the
Board of  Directors  of the  Company  determines  the  respective  rights of the
holders  of one or more  series of the  preferred  stock.  Such  effects  might,
however,  include:  (a) reduction of the amount of funds otherwise available for
payment of cash dividends on Common Stock;  (b)  restrictions  on the payment of
cash  dividends on Common Stock;  (c) dilution of the voting power of the Common
Stock, to the extent that any series of issued preferred stock has voting rights
or is  convertible  into Common  Stock;  and (d) the holders of Common Stock not



                                       20

<PAGE>


being  entitled to share in the assets of the  Company  upon  liquidation  until
satisfaction of liquidation  preferences,  if any, in respect of any outstanding
series of preferred stock.

                The Board of  Directors'  ability to  approve  the  issuance  of
authorized shares of capital stock might discourage a takeover  attempt.  To the
extent that  issuance of  additional  shares might impede  attempts to acquire a
controlling  interest in the Company,  the existing  authorization  of shares of
preferred  stock may serve to entrench  management.  The Company is not aware of
any effort to accumulate  its Common Stock or obtain control of the Company by a
tender  offer,  proxy  contest  or  otherwise,  and the  Company  has no present
intention of using shares of preferred stock for anti-takeover purposes.

                As discussed elsewhere herein (see "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations"),  the Company has
issued a promissory note to the seller of Pharmakon and JAC. The promissory note
contains  several  restrictive  covenants  limiting  certain  of  the  Company's
corporate  activities,  such as limitations and/or restrictions on: the creation
of  liens;  the  incurrence  of  indebtedness;  the  payment  of  dividends  and
distributions;  consolidations,  mergers  and  sales of  assets;  the  making of
investments; guarantees; and the creation of subsidiaries.

                      MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
   
                The  Company's  Common  Stock is traded and quoted on the Nasdaq
SmallCap  Market  under the  symbol  MEDW.  Prior to August  1991,  there was no
established  trading  market for the  Company's  Common  Stock.  The table below
indicates the high and low of quoted bid market prices as reported by Nasdaq for
the Company's  Common Stock for each quarter  during the fiscal years ended June
30, 1995 and 1996, and the first two quarters of fiscal 1997.

                Such  over-the-counter  quotations reflect inter-dealers prices,
without retail mark-ups, mark downs or commissions, and may not represent actual
transactions. The reported trading volume is low.

   
                The  Board  of  Directors  of The  Nasdaq  Stock  Market  has 
announced changes to its maintenance standards for listing which, if approved by
the SEC in the form  proposed,  would  include a net tangible  assets test which
would become  effective at the end of a phase-in  period.  The Company would
not

                                       21
<PAGE>


be able to meet the proposed test without the infusion of significant additional
capital.  The Pacific Stock Exchange,  on which the Common Stock also is listed,
has  informed  the  Company  that the  Company  will not meet its newly  imposed
listing  maintenance  criteria  based on net worth and  tangible net assets and,
consequently,  the  Company  is  subject  to being  delisted.  The  Company  has
requested The Pacific  Stock  Exchange for a delay in the  application  to it of
this new listing  maintenance  criteria.  If such listings are  terminated,  the
liquidity for the Company's Common Stock will be severly impaired in the absence
of the development of a meaningful alternative to The Nasdaq Stock Market.

              The Certificate of  Incorporation  provides that no director shall
be removed  from office  except for cause and that the total number of directors
shall  not be  increased  without  the vote of at least  80% of the  outstanding
shares or by the unanimous resolution of the Board of Directors.

              The Certificate of Incorporation  and the By-Laws provide that the
respective  provisions  related to the  classified  Board  structure,  i.e., the
number,  classification,  term of office,  quorum for meetings,  qualifications,
election and removal of directors and the filling of vacancies and newly created
directorships, may only be amended or repealed (unless an amendment or repeal of
the By-Law shall not take effect for three years) by (a) supermajority vote (80%
of the outstanding shares) unless the Board of Directors unanimously  recommends
the action or (b), with respect to the By-Laws,  by unanimous vote of the entire
Board.

              The classified Board structure has the effect of making changes in
control of the Board of Directors  more  difficult  and  increases the period of
time  required  to  effect a  change  in  control  of the  Board  of  Directors.
Shareholders  who do not agree with the policies of the Board would find it more
difficult to replace a majority of directors. The classified Board may also have
the effect of discouraging  tender offers and other takeover  attempts that many
of the  Company's  shareholders  might deem to be in their best  interests,  and
could prevent them from benefiting from  transactions  which the incumbent Board
opposes.  Since  the  classification  could  have  the  effect  of  discouraging
accumulations  of  large  blocks  of the  Company's  stock by  purchasers  whose
objective would be quickly to obtain control of the Company, it might reduce the
temporary   fluctuations   in  price  that  such   accumulations   could  cause.
Shareholders  might therefore be deprived of an opportunity to sell their shares
at a temporarily  elevated market price.  The classified  board structure would,
however, also deter inadequately priced or coercive tender offers.

Compensation of Directors

              It has been the Company's practice,  starting in 1987, to conserve
cash by compensating directors for their services primarily through the grant of
stock  options  and  shares of Common  Stock.  In 1991 a Stock  Option  Plan for
Non-Employee  Directors  (the  "Plan") was adopted.  Under the Plan,  options to
purchase 1,667 shares are granted  annually on July 1 of each year until 1997 to
each  non-employee  director of the Company (except for the Chairman,  who is to
receive  options to purchase 5,000 shares).  Options will be exercisable at 100%
of fair market value of the  Company's  Common  Stock on the date of grant,  and
payment may be in cash, the Company's Common Stock, or a combination thereof. An
aggregate  of 150,000  shares of Common  Stock are subject to the Plan.  Options
granted  under the Plan are not  intended  to qualify  under  Section 422 of the
Code.

              Pursuant  to the Plan,  each  director  in office on July 1, 1995,
received for services as director during the ensuing 1996 fiscal year a grant of
1,667 options  (5,000 shares in the case of the Chairman)  exercisable at $1.00,
which was the fair market value of the Company's  Common Stock on June 30, 1995.
These options vested and became exercisable in equal monthly installments during
fiscal  1996.  Also,  each  director  in office on July 1,  1996,  received  for
services as director  for the 1997 fiscal year a grant of 1,667  options  (5,000
shares in the case of the Chairman)  exercisable  at $3.625,  which was 


                                       26

<PAGE>

the fair  market  value of the  Company's  Common  Stock on July 1, 1996.  These
options vest and become exercisable in equal monthly  installments during fiscal
1997.

              Each  director in office on July 1, 1995 also  became  entitled to
receive  a total of 2,500  shares  of  Common  Stock  (7,500  in the case of the
Chairman), issuable on July 1, 1996, for his services during fiscal 1996.

Employment Agreements

                  Messrs. Dace, Esposito and Mulstay have employment  agreements
or understandings with the Company providing for minimum  compensation levels of
$110,000, $70,000 and $75,000,  respectively,  plus bonuses based on percentages
of 5%, 2% and 1%,  respectively,  of  defined  gross  profits  (of the  Hemocare
Division in the case of Mr.  Mulstay).  Additionally,  Mr.  Mulstay's  agreement
provides for additional  bonuses based on percentages of 

                                       29
<PAGE>

additional  measures of  performance,  such as net profits,  gross profit on new
sales and  reseller  sales.  Mr.  Esposito  and Mr.  Mulstay's  agreements  have
non-compete and confidentiality covenants. All three agreements also provide for
grants of stock  options and for three  months'  (two months' in the case of Mr.
Esposito) severance pay in case of involuntary termination.

1982 Employee Stock Option Plan

                  In 1982,  the Company  adopted an employee  stock  option plan
(the "1982 Plan") for officers and other key employees, not including directors.
Options  are  non-transferable  except in the case of death.  Options  currently
outstanding under the 1982 Plan generally vest and become exercisable in monthly
installments over a two or three-year  period,  with each installment  remaining
exercisable  for a five-year  period after it vests.  No options  intended to be
incentive  stock  options  under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code") are
currently outstanding.  No options may currently be granted under this Plan. The
expiration  of certain  options  previously  granted under this Plan whose terms
would have ended in fiscal 1996 have been suspended  pending the satisfaction of
legal requirements preventing their exercise.


1992 Equity Incentive Plan

                  Awards  granted  under  the 1992  Equity  Incentive  Plan (the
"Equity  Incentive  Plan")  include a wide range of Common  Stock-based  awards.
Officers  and  other  management  employees  of  the  Company  are  eligible  to
participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock which may be issued under the Equity  Incentive Plan at any time is 20% of
the outstanding  shares of the Company's Common Stock,  except that no more than
500,000 shares may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options.  No awards may
be  granted  after  the  year  2002.  The  term of each  stock  option  is to be
determined by the  Compensation  Committee but may not exceed ten years from the
date of grant.  The  option  price of each stock  option is payable in cash,  in
shares of the Company's  Common Stock, or by a combination  thereof.  The option
agreements  granted to date provide that, in the event of a change of control of
the Company, the exercise of such options may be accelerated by the Committee.

Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors

                  The Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee  Directors is described
above under "Directors - Compensation of Directors."

                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

         In the event of the sale of all the shares covered by this  Prospectus,
the Company would have 5,014,344  shares of Common Stock  outstanding.  Of these
shares, the 2,089,255 shares covered by this Prospectus will be freely tradeable
without   restriction  or  further   registration   under  the  Securities  Act.
Substantially  all of the shares of Common  Stock of the Company not included in
this Registration  Statement were issued more than three years ago. A person who


                                       30
<PAGE>

has  not  been an  affiliate  of the  Company  for at  least  the  three  months
immediately  preceding a sale and who has  beneficially  owned  shares of Common
Stock for at least three  years is  entitled to sell such shares  under Rule 144
without regard to the volume limitations described below.

         A person (or persons  whose  shares are  aggregated  under the terms of
Rule 144),  including an affiliate of the Company,  who has  beneficially  owned
restricted  shares of Common  Stock for at least two years is  entitled to sell,
within  any  three-month  period,  a number of shares  that does not  exceed the
greater of (a) 1% of the total number of  outstanding  shares of Common Stock or
(b) the  average  weekly  trading  volume of the  Common  Stock  during the four
calendar  weeks  preceding  the sale as reported  by Nasdaq,  subject to certain
restrictions on the manner of sale, notice  requirements and public availability
of current  information.  The directors and officers of the Company,  who may be
deemed to be  affiliates  of the Company for purposes of Rule 144,  beneficially
own an aggregate of over 500,000 shares of Common Stock as to which the two-year
period under Rule 144 has been satisfied.

         The effect,  if any, of public sales of the such shares of Common Stock
or the  availability of such shares for future sale on prevailing  market prices
cannot be  predicted.  Nevertheless,  cannot  be  predicted.  Nevertheless,  the
possibility  that  substantially  all outstanding  shares of Common Stock may be
resold in the public market may adversely  affect  prevailing  market prices for
the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through
the sale of its equity securities.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

   
         On November 11, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company  adopted an
arrangement whereby Joseph Delario received options to purchase 75,000 shares of
Common Stock, which was approved at the 1996 annual meeting of shareholders. The
options will vest and become exercisable as follows:  Options to purchase 25,000
shares will vest on November 1, 1997,  options to purchase an additional  25,000
shares will vest on November 1, 1998,  and options to purchase  the final 25,000
shares will vest on November 1, 1999. The options will remain  exercisable until
November 1, 2001,  unless  earlier  terminated.  The exercise price is $3.50 per
share,  the closing  market price of shares of Common Stock on November 8, 1996.
In the event of a  transaction  constituting  a change of control of the Company
(including a change of control  occurring  within six months of  termination  of
management and financial services or twelve months of death or incapacity),  all
outstanding options would become exercisable.
    

         In 1991,  the Company  agreed with Bowling Green  Securities,  Inc., an
investment  banking  firm owned by Mr.  Utsch and in which  Messrs.  Auriana and
Utsch are principals, and with Mr. Delario, who became a director of the Company
in 1992, that such firm and Mr. Delario would render  investment  banking advice
to the Company and that, if any merger,  acquisition,  divestiture  or analogous
transaction  is  successfully  consummated  as a result  of their  efforts,  the
Company  would pay a total fee related to the value of the  company  acquired or
divested  on the  basis  of 5% of the  first $2  million,  4% of the  second  $2
million,  3% of the third $2 million,  2% of the fourth $2 million and 1% of any
additional   amounts.   In  connection   with  the   Acquisition  by  Digimedics
Corporation,  a wholly owned  subsidiary  of the Company,  from  

                                       31
<PAGE>

Continental of Continental's  Pharmakon  division and JAC for a consideration of
$10,000,000,  and the related financing, Mr. Delario became entitled to a fee of
$150,000,  which he agreed  at the  Company's  request  to accept in the form of
46,153 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Bowling Green waived payment of any
fee. Mr. Delario has terminated  his future  participation  in this agreement in
light of the arrangements specified in the previous paragraph. See also "Plan of
Distribution."

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

         Article X of the Company's by-laws as amended provides that the Company
will  indemnify  to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by the  New  York  Business
Corporation Law (the "NYBCL") any officer or Director of the Company.  Article X
of the  Company's  by-laws  further  requires  the  advancement  of expenses and
permits  the   maintenance   of   insurance  in   connection   with  claims  for
indemnification by officers and Directors. Other provisions of Article X contain
procedures to be followed by Directors and officers claiming indemnification and
by the Company's representatives in determining an indemnitee's entitlement. The
indemnification  of officers  and  Directors  under  Article X of the  Company's
by-laws is intended to be as extensive as is permitted under  applicable law. No
statute,  charter  provisions,  by-laws,  contract  or other  arrangements  that
insures or  indemnifies a Director or officer of the Company  affects his or her
liability in such capacity.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of the small business
issuer pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the small business
issuer has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

desirable its use. The Selling Shareholders comprise certain of the shareholders
who have received, or who will receive,  shares of the Common Stock as described

                  In  1995  and  1994,  in  connection  with  bridge  financings
utilized by the Company to finance its operations, the Company issued promissory
notes to several  persons,  including  directors of the Company.  In conjunction
with the  issuance  of these  notes the  Company  issued  warrants  to  purchase
1,040,025  shares of common  stock for $0.50 per share and  warrants to purchase
129,695  shares  of  common  stock for  $1.25  per  share,  exercisable  through
September 30, 2004,  which the Company agreed to register under the Act.  During
May 1996,  495,025 of the $0.50  warrants were  exercised for 495,025  shares of
Common Stock (including warrants held by a director of the Company).  445,025 of
such shares are included in this Registration  Statement.  In November 1996, the
Company  issued  options to  purchase  75,000  shares of 

                                       32

Common  Stock to  Joseph  Delario,  a  director  of the  Company.  See  "Certain
Transactions." All of the shares issuable upon exercise of such options are also
included in this Registration Statement.

                  At the time of the  financing of the  Acquisition  on June 17,
1996,  whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired JAC and certain
assets of Pharmakon  from  Continental  Healthcare  Systems,  Inc.,  the Company
issued  an  aggregate  of  1,692,308  shares  of  Common  Stock to nine  persons
(including the Chairman of the Company,  who purchased  138,462 of these shares)
and  entities  in a private  placement  exempt  from  registration  pursuant  to
Regulation D under the Act,  which the Company agreed to register under the Act.
In connection with the Acquisition and the related  financing,  the Company also
issued  61,537  shares of Common  Stock as fees,  which  the  Company  agreed to
register  under  the  Act.  1,569,230  of  such  shares  are  included  in  this
Registration Statement.

                  The Company's consent to use of this Prospectus by the Selling
Shareholders  may be conditioned  upon such terms and conditions as the Company,
in its sole  discretion,  may determine,  including,  without  limitation,  such
persons' or  entities'  agreeing  not to offer more than a  specified  number of
shares during a particular  period of time or agreeing that any such offering be
effected in an organized manner through registered securities dealers.

                  Sales of shares of Common  Stock by persons or entities  other
than the  Company  by means of this  Prospectus  may be made  from  time to time
privately at negotiated  prices or publicly in one or more  transactions  (which
may  involve  crosses  or block  transactions)  on the  Nasdaq  Smallcap  Market
("Nasdaq") or otherwise, in special offerings,  sales pursuant to Rule 144 under
the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the "Act"),  exchange  distributions  or secondary
distributions  pursuant  to and in  accordance  with the rules of  Nasdaq,  or a
combination  of such  methods  of sale,  at prices at or  reasonably  related to
market  prices  at the  time  of  sale  or at  negotiated  prices.  The  Selling
Shareholders  may  effect  such  transactions  by  selling  shares to or through
broker-dealers,  which  may act as agent or as  principal  and,  when  acting as
agent,  may receive  commissions from the purchasers as well as from the sellers
(if also acting as agent for the purchasers).  Selling  Shareholders and brokers
or dealers selling shares of Common Stock for Selling Shareholders or purchasing
such shares for  purposes of resale may be deemed to be  underwriters  under the
Act,  and any  compensation  received by any of them may be deemed  underwriting
compensation (which compensation may be in excess of customary commissions). The
Company  will not  receive  any of the  proceeds of the sale of shares of Common
Stock by any such person.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

   
                  The  validity of the Common Stock  offered  hereby and certain
other legal  matters will be passed upon for the Company by  Winthrop,  Stimson,
Putnam & Roberts, One Battery Park Plaza, New York, New York 10004.  Jonathan H.
Churchill,  a counsel  of such  firm,  owns  17,024  shares of Common  Stock and
options to purchase 9,030 shares of Common Stock.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



Board of Directors and Stockholders
Mediware Information Systems, Inc.
Melville, New York


         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mediware
Information  Systems,  Inc. and subsidiaries as at June30,  1996 and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the two-year  period ended June30,  1996.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion,  the  financial  statements  enumerated  above  present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Mediware  Information  Systems,  Inc. and  subsidiaries at June30,  1996 and the
results  of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year  period  ended  June30,  1996 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

               MEDIWARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(NOTE A) - The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:

The  consolidated   financial   statements  include  the  accounts  of  Mediware
Information   Systems,   Inc.  and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,   Digimedics
Corporation  ("Digimedics") and its subsidiary J.A.C.  Computer Services Limited
("JAC").  All  significant  intercompany  transactions  have been  eliminated in
consolidation.

Mediware  Information  Systems,  Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") develops,
installs and  maintains  computerized  information  systems for  hospital  blood
banks, pharmacies and surgical suites.

As discussed in Note E, the Company has  $5,728,000  of long-term  debt which is
due on August 1, 1997.  The Company  will have to refinance  this  indebtedness.
There is no assurance that it will be able to do so on acceptable terms.


         [1]      Cash equivalents:

                  The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         [2]      Revenue recognition:

                  Revenue from the sale of systems is recognized  upon delivery,
although  payment may be due upon completion of other  contractual  obligations.
Service  revenue is  recognized  on a  straight-line  basis over the life of the
service agreements.

         [3]      Long-term contract installments receivable:

                  Contract installments receivable arising from sales of systems
with extended payment terms bear interest at rates from 7% to 16% and are due in
monthly installments through 1999.

         [4]      Inventories:

                  Inventories,  which consist of equipment purchased for resale,
are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is  determined  by the specific
identification method.

         [5]      Fixed assets:

                  Furniture and equipment are  depreciated by the  straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives of five years.  Leasehold  improvements
are  amortized  by the  straight-line  method  over the  remaining  terms of the
respective leases.

                          F-6

(NOTE A) - The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:
(continued)

         [6]      Software development costs:

                  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 86, the Company capitalizes certain costs associated with the development of
computer software.  Such costs, in addition to costs of purchased software,  are
amortized over the software's  estimated  useful life of five years.  Management
periodically  evaluates the recoverability of capitalized  software  development
costs and write-downs are taken if required.

                  Costs to maintain  developed  programs  and other  development
costs incurred prior to  achievement  of technical  feasibility  are expensed as
incurred.  Such costs were  $956,000  and  $951,000 for the years ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively. Software development costs reported on the
consolidated statements of operations include amortization (Note D).

         [7]      Excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired:

   
                  The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired,
which arose from the  acquisitions  of  Digimedics,  Pharmakon and JAC, is being
amortized on a  straight-line  basis over twenty years.  Management  continually
reevaluates the appropriateness of the amortization periods and related carrying
amount.  Goodwill is adjusted if events and circumstances indicate that an other
than temporary  decline in value below the current  unamortized  historical cost
has occurred.  Several factors are used to evaluate goodwill,  including but not
limited  to:  management's  plans for future  products  and  operations,  market
position  and  continual  acceptance,  recent  operating  results and  projected
undiscounted cash flows.
    

         [8]      Advances from customers:

                  Advances  from  customers   represent   contractual   payments
received by the Company.  Such  amounts are recorded as income upon  delivery of
the system  with  respect  to system  revenues  or over the life of the  service
agreement with respect to service revenue.

         [9]      Earnings (loss) per share:

                  Earnings  (loss) per share are based on the  weighted  average
number of shares outstanding during each year.

                  Earnings per share are  computed on a primary  basis since the
fully diluted basis does not result in further dilution.

(NOTE A) - The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:
(continued)

         [10]     Use of estimates:

                  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         [11]     Change in accounting principle and recently issued accounting
pronouncements:

                  In 1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121, "  Accounting  for the
Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed of"
("SFAS  121"),  and  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 121 requires, among
other things,  that entities  identify events or changes in circumstances  which
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be  recoverable.  SFAS 123
requires, among other things, that companies establish a fair value based method
of accounting or disclosure for stock-based compensation plans. These statements
are effective for the Company's fiscal year commencing July 1, 1996. The Company
believes that adoption of SFAS 121 and SFAS 123 will not have a material  impact
on its  financial  statements.  The  Company  expects to continue to account for
employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to  Employees,"  using  intrinsic
values  with  appropriate  disclosures  using the fair value based  method.  The
Company has not elected to adopt SFAS 123 early.


(NOTE B) - Acquisitions:

On June 17, 1996,  Digimedics and  Information  Handling  Services  Group,  Inc.
("IHS") and its wholly owned subsidiary,  Continental  Healthcare Systems,  Inc.
("Continental"),  entered into an Asset Purchase  Agreement  whereby  Digimedics
purchased from Continental its Pharmakon  division  ("Pharmakon").  Also on June
17, 1996,  Digimedics purchased from Holland America Investment  Corporation,  a
wholly owned subsidiary of IHS, all of the issued and outstanding  capital stock
of JAC, a United  Kingdom  corporation.  Pharmakon and JAC develop,  install and
maintain  computerized  information systems for hospital pharmacies.  Digimedics
paid an  aggregate  of  $3,666,000  in cash  and  issued  a  $6,000,000  secured
promissory  note  (Note  E) for  both  acquisitions.  Digimedics  also  incurred
acquisition costs of $238,000 in cash (of which  approximately  $26,000 was to a
related  party)  and  issued  30,769  shares of common  stock as a fee valued at
$100,000 to related parties.

                                                 ==================


The  purchased   research  and   development  was  charged  to  operations  upon
acquisition.  The  acquisitions  have  been  accounted  for as a  purchase  and,
accordingly,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  include the  accounts of
Pharmakon and JAC from date of acquisition.

   
As a result of the  above-mentioned  purchase,  the  Company has  $2,017,000  of
assets in the  United  Kingdom.  The  balance  of the  assets  are in the United
States.

    1996 payable  monthly  commencing July 31, 1996, due on or before
    November 30, 1996,  collateralized  by  substantially  all of the
    assets of Digimedics and all of the issued and outstanding  stock
    of Digimedics and JAC. The loan  agreement,  among other matters,
    restricts  the  Company  with  respect to  incurring  any lien or
    encumbrance  on  its  property  or  assets,   entering  into  new
    indebtedness and paying any dividends  (1)...................    $6,000,000

 Notes issued  during  the years  ended June 30,  1995 and 
     June 30, 1994,  bearing interest at 12% per annum, due on or
     before  August 1,  1997,  collateralized  by the  trade  accounts
     receivable of Digimedics  which has a balance at June 30, 1996 of
     $1,069,000,  net  of  estimated  doubtful  accounts  of  $66,000,
     (including $804,000 issued to directors) (2)................     1,179,000
                                                                     ----------

(1)      On October 28, 1996 the  promissory  note was amended to provide for an
         extension of the due date to August 1, 1997.  The  extension  agreement
         provides for an immediate payment of $1 million and monthly payments of
         $100,000 for principal and interest. In addition, the interest rate was
         increased to 15% on  approximately  $3,763,000  with the original  rate
         remaining  for  $1,237,000.  The  agreement  provides  for the  monthly
         payments to be first applied to the interest on the portion of the loan
         subject to the  original  rate.  The  remainder is to be applied to the
         interest,  then  principal,  of the loan subject to 15%. As a result of
         this amendment, $4,549,000 of this liability is classified as long-term
         debt.

         with the  issuance  of these  notes  the  Company  issued  warrants  to
         purchase  1,040,025  shares  of  common  stock  for $0.50 per share and
         129,695 shares for $1.25 per share,  exercisable  through September 30,
         2004.  The  Company  recorded  debt  discount  and  additional  paid-in
         capital.  The debt discount was expensed in prior years since the notes
         were initially due prior to the current  fiscal year.  During May 1996,
         495,025 of the $0.50 warrants were exercised.

(NOTE H) - Commitments and Contingencies:

         [1]      Operating leases:

                  Rental  commitments  for the  remaining  term of the Company's
noncancellable leases relating to office space expiring at various dates through
2004 are as follows:

    Year Ending

               T o t a l. . . . . . . . .       $1,620,000

                  Certain leases provide for additional payments for real estate
taxes and insurance and contain an escalation  clause for increases in utilities
and services. Rental expense for the years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995
aggregated $213,000 and $212,000, respectively.

         [2]      Software license agreement:

                  In September  1990,  the Company  entered into an agreement to
acquire a perpetual exclusive license for a computerized  information system for
hospital  operating rooms for $750,000.  In addition to the purchase price,  the
Company was required to pay  royalties of 5% to 15% of sales of the product.  To
maintain  exclusivity,  the  Company  was  required  to pay  cumulative  royalty
payments of $675,000,  by  September  1995  ($375,000  by September  1994 and an
additional $300,000 by September 1995).

                  Subsequently,  the  licensor  asserted  a variety of breach of
contract and other  violations of the  agreement  and  commenced an  arbitration
proceeding  in June 1992.  On November 7, 1994 the  arbitral  panel  rendered an
award confirming the Company's  exclusivity for its Surgiware  product,  and its
license  for another  hospital  scheduling  software  product  developed  by the
licensor.  The award also established  December 31, 1994 as the due date for the
Company  to make the  payment  of  $375,000  due  September  1994 to retain  its
exclusivity.

(NOTE H) - Commitments and Contingencies:  (continued)

         [2]      Software license agreement:  (continued)

                  During the fourth  quarter of the year ended June 30, 1994 the
Company  expensed costs of $1,222,000 in connection with the  arbitration.  Such
costs  included  $208,000  which the Company  intended to pay to the licensor to
retain  exclusivity;  the  balance is  principally  legal fees and  expenses  in
connection with the arbitration. During the year ended June 30, 1995 the Company
elected not to make the payments required to maintain exclusivity.  Accordingly,
the liability recorded in the prior year was reversed.

         [3]      Release of common shares held in escrow:

                  On November  10, 1994 the Company was informed by the Superior
Court of  California  that it would be required to release  74,667 shares of its
common  stock,  which  were  being held in  escrow,  to former  stockholders  of
Digimedics Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary. Upon releasing the shares the
Company  increased its number of common  shares  outstanding  and,  accordingly,
recorded  additional capital and increased the excess of cost over fair value of
net assets acquired,  by approximately $51,000 which is being amortized over the
remaining life of such asset.

         [4]      Other matters:

                  Substantially all of the Company's cash is on deposit at a
major metropolitan bank.


(NOTE I) - Income Taxes:

                  At June 30, 1996 the Company has available net operating  loss
carryforwards   to  reduce  future  federal  taxable  income  of   approximately
$7,500,000  which is limited as to the amount which may be used in any one year.
At June 30, 1996 the Company  also has  available  general  business  tax credit
carryforwards   to  reduce  future   current   federal  income  tax  expense  of
approximately  $321,000.  The net operating loss  carryforwards and business tax
credit   carryforwards   expire  in  various  amounts  through  2009  and  2011,
respectively.

                  SFAS 109 requires the  recognition  of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for both the expected  future tax impact of differences  between the
financial  statements  and tax  basis of  assets  and  liabilities,  and for the
expected  future  tax  benefit  to be  derived  from  tax  loss  and tax  credit
carryforwards.  SFAS 109 additionally  requires the establishment of a valuation
allowance to reflect the likelihood of  realization  of deferred tax assets.  At
June 30, 1996 the Company has total deferred tax  liabilities  of  approximately
$396,000 and total deferred tax assets of approximately $5,034,000.  The Company
has recorded a valuation  allowance for the amount by which  deferred tax assets
exceed deferred tax liabilities  and, as a result,  the Company has not reported
any liability or asset for deferred taxes at June 30, 1996.

                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements


1.    Financial Statements:
      --------------------

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited,  consolidated,
condensed  financial  statements  contain all  adjustments  (consisting  only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the  Company  and its  results of  operations  and cash flows for the interim
periods presented.  Such financial  statements have been condensed in accordance
with the applicable  regulations  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission and
therefore,  do not  include  all  disclosures  required  by  generally  accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited  financial  statements and notes thereto for the year
ended June 30, 1996 included in the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-KSB
and elsewhere herein.

        The results of operations for the three months ended  September 30, 1996
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be  expected  for the entire
fiscal year.

2.    Earnings Per Share:
      ------------------

        Earnings  per share are  computed on the basis of the  weighted  average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common share equivalents
relating  to shares  which may be issued  upon  exercise  of stock  options  and
warrants are included in the computation when the results are dilutive.

3.    Income Taxes:
      ------------

        The tax expense is minimal due to the carry forward benefit from the net
operating loss.

4.    Related Party Transactions:
      --------------------------

        During the three months ended  September  30, 1996 the Company  incurred
legal  fees of  approximately  $57,000  with a firm of which a  director  of the
Company is counsel,  primarily relating to the acquisition of Pharmakon and JAC.
In the same period the  Company  incurred  $21,132 of interest  expense on notes
held by a director.

           CONTINTENTAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, INC. - PHARMAKON DIVISION

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(NOTE A) - The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:
- --------------------------------------------------------------

                  Continental  Healthcare  Systems,  Inc. -  Pharmakon  Division
("Pharmakon"),    a   division   of   Continental   Healthcare   Systems,   Inc.
("Continental"),  develops,  installs  and  maintains  computerized  information
systems for hospital pharmacies.

                  Pharmakon is dependent upon Continental for financial  support
in the conduct of its operations.  The financial  statements may not necessarily
be indicative of the results of operations  had Pharmakon  operated  without the
financial support of Continental.

                  Certain  costs and expenses  which are common to Pharmakon and
the  other  operations  of  Continental  have  been  recorded  in the  financial
statements of Pharmakon based upon either the proportionate  share of revenue or
the proportionate number of employees,  as determined by management.  Such costs
and expenses allocated to Pharmakon aggregated $1,438,000 and $1,767,000 for the
years ended  November  30, 1995 and  November  30,  1994,  respectively.  In the
opinion of  management,  these  allocations  to  Pharmakon  are  reasonable  and
necessary  to  reflect  all of the  costs  of  doing  business  as if it  were a
stand-alone company.

                  Interest   expense  on   interdivisional   advances  has  been
excluded.

                  Continental  also  sells  Pharmakon  software  in  the  United
Kingdom through its affiliate,  JAC Computer Services Limited ("JAC").  Sales of
Pharmakon  software  to JAC  amounted  to $26,000 and $7,000 for the years ended
November 30, 1995 and November 30, 1994, respectively.

                  In May 1996  Continental  and a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of
Mediware  Information  Systems,  Inc.  ("Mediware")  signed a letter  of  intent
whereby  substantially  all  operating  assets of Pharmakon  excluding  accounts
receivable will be sold to Mediware.

         [1]      Revenue recognition:
                  -------------------

                  Revenue from the sale of software  systems is recognized  upon
delivery. Installation, training and other systems sales revenues are recognized
over the duration of the related effort.  Service revenue is recognized  ratably
over the term of related service agreements.

         [2]  Software development costs:
              --------------------------

                  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 86, Pharmakon  capitalizes  certain costs associated with the development of
computer software.

(NOTE A) - The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:
- --------------------------------------------------------------
   (continued)

Such costs, in addition to costs of purchased  software,  are amortized over the
software'sestimated useful life of five years. Management periodically evaluates
the recoverability of capitalized software development costs and write-downs are
taken if required.  Costs tomaintain  developed  programs and other  development
costs incurred prior to  achievement  of technical  feasibility  are expensed as
incurred. Such costs were $1,209,000 and $1,143,000 for the years ended November
30, 1995 and November 30, 1994, respectively.  Software development costs on the
statement of operations include amortization (Note B).

         [3]  Income taxes:
              ------------

                  Pharmakon's  operations have historically been included in the
consolidated  income tax returns filed by Continental's  parent company.  Income
tax expense in the  accompanying  financial  statements  has been  computed on a
stand-alone  basis with the related taxes payable  reflected as an adjustment to
the interdivisional account.

         [4]      Use of estimates:
                  ----------------

                  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) The pro forma statements of operations for Pharmakon  include  estimates for
certain costs and expenses which were extrapolated from the historical financial
statements.

(2) The  consolidated  pro forma  statement of  operations  includes  historical
results of Pharmakon  and JAC which have been recast for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1996 and for the three months ended September 30, 1995, and is based on
the following adjustments and assumptions:

(a)  To eliminate the charge for purchased research and development.

(b)  To record the amortization of goodwill over a 20 year life.

(c)  To add back  amortization  of  goodwill  included  in JAC's and  Mediware's
statements of operations.

(d)  To record interest  expense on the $6,000,000  promissory  note,  issued in
connection  with the acquisition of Pharmakon and JAC, at 8.25%. In October 1996
the  promissory  note was amended to provide for an extension of the due date to
August 1, 1997. The extension  agreement provides for an immediate payment of $1
million  and monthly  payments  of  $100,000  for  principal  and  interest.  In
addition,  the interest  rate was increased to 15% on  approximately  $3,763,000
with the original rate  remaining  for  $1,237,000.  Interest  expense under the
extended loan agreement would be approximately  $260,000 and $65,000 higher than
reflected in the June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 pro formas respectively.

(e) To add back interest on the above mentioned note also included in Mediware's
statements of operations.

(f) To  eliminate  income tax  expense for  Pharmakon  to give effect to the pro
forma  adjustments  above and the  reporting  of income  for tax  purposes  on a
consolidated basis which will reflect the tax amortization of purchased research
and  development  over 15 years and allow for the  utilization of Mediware's net
operating  loss  carryforwards.  A net tax benefit has not been  provided  since
further utilization of net operating loss carryforwards is uncertain.

(g) To increase  weighted average shares by 1,352,000 for shares issued to raise
funds for the  acquisition and 381,000  additional  shares for the June 30, 1996
pro forma as a result of common stock  equivalents  being dilutive for pro forma
purposes.

                                     PART II

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
          -----------------------------------------

             Article X of the  Company's  by-laws as amended  provides  that the
Company will indemnify to the fullest extent  permitted by the New York Business
Corporation Law (the "NYBCL") any officer or Director of the Company.  Article X
of the  Company's  by-laws  further  requires  the  advancement  of expenses and
permits  the   maintenance   of   insurance  in   connection   with  claims  for
indemnification by officers and Directors. Other provisions of Article X contain
procedures to be followed by Directors and officers claiming indemnification and
by the Company's representatives in determining an indemnitee's entitlement. The
indemnification  of officers  and  Directors  under  Article X of the  Company's
by-laws is intended to be as extensive as is permitted under  applicable law. No
statute,  charter  provisions,  by-laws,  contract  or other  arrangements  that
insures or  indemnifies a Director or officer of the Company  affects his or her
liability in such capacity.

     ss.721-726 of the NYBCL provides authorization for broad indemnification of
directors and officers by New York  corporations.  ss.721 of the NYBCL  provides
that rights granted to officers and directors pursuant to the NYBCL shall not be
deemed  exclusive  of any other  rights  which a director or officer may have by
specific  corporate  authorization,  except that a  corporation  may not, by the
certificate of incorporation or the by-laws, indemnify a director or officer for
acts  that  were  committed  in bad  faith  or were  the  result  of  deliberate
dishonesty.  A director or officer may,  however,  still be indemnified for such
acts by separate contract or by other law. ss. 722 of the NYBCL is the operative
section  of  the  statute  that  contains  the  broad  grant  of  authority  for
corporations  to  indemnify  directors  and  officers  for losses and  expenses,
including  attorneys'  fees.  ss.723 of the NYBCL provides that a person who has
been successful in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding as an
officer or director of a corporation shall be entitled to  indemnification  even
if indemnification was not specifically authorized by the corporation. ss.724 of
the NYBCL provides that a person who is entitled to indemnification  pursuant to
ss.723 may seek such indemnification in court. ss.725 of the NYBCL provides that
expenses which were advanced to a person in defending a civil or criminal action
in  connection  with  services  performed  as an officer and  director  shall be
returned if it is  ultimately  determined  that such person was not  entitled to
indemnification.

Item 26.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
          ---------------------------------------

             During the past three years,  the Company sold securities that were
not registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 (the  "Securities  Act") in the
transactions described below.

             Between  December 13, 1993 and March 2, 1994, in connection  with a
bridge financing utilized by the Company to finance its operations,  the Company
issued  promissory  notes in the aggregate  principal  amount of $495,025 to ten
individuals,  including a director of the  Company,  accompanied  by warrants to
purchase 495,025 shares of Common Stock for $0.50 per share.  From July 15, 1993
through  August 22, 1994,  also in  connection  with the bridge  financing,  the
Company issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $545,000 to
the Chairman of the Company,  accompanied by warrants to purchase 545,000 shares
of common stock for $0.50 per share,  and on February 15 and May 11 of 1995,  in
connection with a second bridge  financing,  the Company issued promissory notes
in the aggregate  principal  amount of $259,390 to the Chairman,  accompanied by
warrants to purchase  129,695 shares of common stock for $1.25 per share. All of
the above  warrants are  exercisable  through  September  30, 2004.  All of such
issuances  were exempt  from  registration  pursuant  to Section  4(2) under the
Securities Act of 1933.

             On May 8, 1996,  the Company  issued 495,025 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the  exercise by  warrantholders  of 495,025 of the  above-mentioned
warrants at $0.50 per share.  Total proceeds to the Company were  $247,512.  The
issuance  was  exempt  from  registration  pursuant  to  Section  4(2) under the
Securities Act of 1933. No underwriting  discounts or commissions were paid as a
result of this issuance.

             On  June  17,  1996,  in  connection   with  the  financing  of  an
acquisition, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,692,308 shares of Common Stock
to a  total  of  nine  persons  (including  the  Chairman  of the  Company)  and
institutional  investors for $3.25 per share, in a private placement exempt from
registration  pursuant to  Regulation D under the  Securities  Act of 1933.  The
total net proceeds to the Company were $5,063,000.  Smith Barney Inc. was paid a
placement  fee of  $300,000.  Also on June 17,  1996,  in  connection  with such
acquisition  financing,  the Company issued 61,537 shares of Common Stock to two
individuals,  including a director of the Company as fees for services rendered,
which issuance was exempt from  registration  pursuant to Section 4(2) under the
Securities Act of 1933.

             An  Exhibit  Index,  containing  a list  of all  exhibits  to  this
registration statement, commences on page II- 6.
    

Item 28.  Undertakings
          ------------

         The small business issuer will:

         (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells  securities,  a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:


                                      II-2

<PAGE>



              (i)  Include any  prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the
         Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii)  Reflect  in  the   prospectus  any  facts  or  events  which,
         individually  or  together,  represent  a  fundamental  change  in  the
         information set forth in the  registration  statement.  Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
         (if the total dollar value of securities  offered would not exceed that
         which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
         estimated  maximum  offering  range  may be  reflected  in the  form of
         prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
         aggregate,  the changes in volume and price  represent no more than 20%
         change  in the  maximum  aggregate  offering  price  set  forth  in the
         "Calculation of Registration  Fee" table in the effective  registration
         statement; and

             (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
         plan of distribution.

         (2) For determining  liability under the Securities Act of 1933,  treat
each post-effective  amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

         (3) File a post-effective  amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of the small business
issuer pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the small business
issuer has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.

         In the event that a claim for indemnification  against such liabilities
(other than the  payment by the small  business  issuer of expenses  incurred or
paid by a director,  officer, or controlling person of the small business issuer
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director,officer  or controlling  person in connection with the securities being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the  matter  has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of
appropriate  jurisdiction  the question  whether such  indemnification  by it is
against  public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
