ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

         Mediware Information Systems, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the
"COMPANY" or "Mediware") was incorporated in 1980. 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
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.  The installed base of clinical
information systems is approximately 825 clients.

         See  "Financial   Statements"  for  information   about  the  COMPANY's
revenues,  operating  profit and loss and assets.  The COMPANY's  operations are
within one industry segment.

         The  COMPANY's  Product  Lines  are  managed  through  three  operating
divisions:  Hemocare Division (blood bank),  Pharmacy  Division,  Digimedics and
Pharmakon (pharmacy), and Surgiware Division (surgical suite).

Product Lines

         HEMOCARE -- The COMPANY's cornerstone product is one of North America's
leading  "best of breed"  blood  bank  information  systems  and is sold  either
"stand-alone" or as part of an integrated  "LAB/Blood  Bank" system.  The system
was originally  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  markets  innovative  product
enhancements  such  as  Validation   Templates,   Video   Validation,   Standard
Integration Module, and Mock Regulatory Inspection. At this time Hemocare is the
only Blood Bank System to offer this suite of 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.,
Dynamic  Healthcare  Technologies,  Inc.,  Keane,  Inc.,  NLFC, Inc., and Shared
Medical Systems, Inc.

         The Hemocare system is installed in  approximately  260 hospitals which
range in size from 100 beds to over 1,600 beds.

         PHARMACY  --  In  May  of  1990,   the  COMPANY   acquired   Digimedics
Corporation,  one of the country's  leading  vendors of  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.  Over 150  Digimedics  systems have been installed at
125 hospitals (some hospitals have separate systems for inpatient and outpatient
pharmacies).

         In June of 1996, Digimedics  Corporation acquired certain assets of the
U.S. based Pharmakon  division  ("Pharmakon")  and a pharmacy  management system
company operating in the United Kingdom,  JAC Computer Service,  LTD. ("JAC") of
Continental  Healthcare Systems, Inc.  ("Continental").  The Pharmakon operation
has been subsequently merged with the Digimedics  operation to form the Pharmacy
Division of the  COMPANY.  The  combination  of client bases has  increased  the
COMPANY's  installed base of clinical  information  systems to approximately 825
(over 500 of which are pharmacy system installations).  Installations which were
already in existence in Canada together with the addition of the JAC client base
provide the COMPANY with a significant international presence.


         Clients include leading research institutions such as the University of
California  Medical Center,  San Francisco;  Mt. Sinai Hospital,  New York City;
Columbia-Presbyterian  Medical  Center,  New York  City;  University  of  Kansas
Medical Center,  Kansas City;  University of Michigan Hospitals and Clinics, Ann
Arbor;  Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center, Toronto; and the Royal Free Hospital,
London.


         During   fiscal   1997,   the  Pharmacy   Division   introduced  a  new
client/server pharmacy system known as Digimedics WORx(TM). This advanced system
features a Microsoft  Windows-based  graphical user  interface,  point-and-click
ad-hoc  report  writing,   integrated   inpatient/outpatient   profiles,  and  a
relational  database management system. The COMPANY believes this system will be
a major  factor  in the next  generation  of drug  therapy  management  systems.
Installation of this next generation system began in Fiscal 1997.

         Other WORx features include:

         A Cinical  database and drug  monographs  (including  foreign  language
         monographs).  An extensive array of drug therapy  monitoring  including
         drug interactions, allergy monitoring, dose range checking, therapeutic
         duplication,  and drug alerts.  A reporting system that may be tailored
         to  local  practice  standards.  Support  for  multiple  drug  delivery
         mechanisms.   Extensive  integration  with  financial  systems,   other
         clinical systems, and robotics.

         By  taking  advantage  of its open  architecture,  WORx is  capable  of
linking with expert systems,  decision-support software, and clinical databases.
WORx  acts as the  central  hub for  drug  therapy  information  throughout  the
healthcare  enterprise  and will  provide  specialized  tools for all aspects of
pharmaceutical care.

         WORx can adapt to a diversity of hardware and networking  environments.
Utilizing  technologies such as UNIX,  Powerbuilder,  C++ programming  language,
Informix Online Dynamic Server,  Microsoft Windows, Windows 95, NT and Microsoft
ActiveX(TM), WORx is positioned as a state of the art client/server solution.

         SURGIWARE -- In September 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 has recently  introduced
PCCWIN, a Windows 95 based module that automates the preoperative  case charting
process.

         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,  usually, the surgical suite 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.


<PAGE>



         The  COMPANY's   marketing  is  concentrated  on  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.

Sales and Marketing

         The COMPANY's  three products are sold directly by nine 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.  Sales
leads and support are received from certain hardware  manufacturers,  especially
IBM Corporation and Data General Corporation, for whose product the COMPANY acts
as a Value Added  Reseller.  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.,  Shared Medical  Systems,  Inc.,  Triple G, and Dynamic  Healthcare
Technologies, 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 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 or annual 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
the hardware manufacturers.

         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 (Informedics, Inc.), which is
a company of  comparable  size,  and with  three  vendors  (Cerner  Corporation,
Sunquest Information Systems,  Inc. and Soft Computer Consultants) of laboratory
information systems ("LIS") that contain a blood bank subsystem. 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.

         DIGIMEDICS -- The COMPANY currently  competes with numerous  companies,
including some of the leading vendors of healthcare  information  systems.  With
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  Digimedics  system  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  division  are  believed  to be  Serving
Software  Incorporated,  a wholly owned  subsidiary  of HBO 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 Division 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.

         Hemocare  experienced its first regular on-site FDA inspection in July,
1997.  The Agency  recommended  minor  changes to the  in-house  developed  call
tracking  system to allow for a more precise  method of problem  identification,
tracking and  trending.  These changes were put into practice on August 1, 1997.
The COMPANY had  previously  identified a notice of system  limitation  which it
updated in its user  manual.  This change to  "documentation"  was  considered a
labeling change by the FDA and is therefore classified as a "recall." However, a
labeling  recall  does not require the  customer to  discontinue  its use of the
system. The vendor is required to update its medical device documentation with a
more accurate  description of its intended use. The Hemocare  Product Center had
already complied with this as part of its normal Good Manufacturing Practices at
the time of its initial notification to customers in July.

         The FDA is in the process of developing new guidelines  that 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
could also become subject to  Congressional  or  governmental  agency efforts to
establish or expand governmental agency jurisdiction.

Miscellaneous

         The COMPANY software  development  costs were $2,155,000  during fiscal
1997 and  $1,438,000  in fiscal  1996.  These  costs  included  write  downs and
amortization  of software  development  costs.  In addition,  software  costs of
$929,000 and $496,000,  respectively, were capitalized in each year. The COMPANY
anticipates  that it will continue to commit  substantial  resources to software
development  in the future.  Furthermore,  the COMPANY  purchased  $3,891,000 of
research and  development  in the  acquisition  of Pharmakon and JAC,  which was
charged to operations expense in fiscal 1996.

         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
United States, Canada and, through JAC Computer Services, LTD, in the U.K.

Employees

         As of June 30, 1997,  the COMPANY had 123  full-time  employees  and 10
part-time employees, including 24 in sales and marketing, 88 in customer support
and product  development,  and 21 in  administration.  None is  represented by a
labor union and the COMPANY considers its employee relations to be good.

ITEM 2.  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 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  September 30, 1998. The United Kingdom group is head quartered
in Basildon,  Essex, where the COMPANY occupies  approximately 2,567 square feet
under a lease  expiring  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.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


         The  COMPANY is subject to legal  proceedings  and claims that arise in
the ordinary  course of business.  In addition,  Mediware  Information  Systems,
Inc., ("Mediware") its wholly owned subsidiary, Digimedics, and Continental have
been named as  co-defendants  in a litigation,  Cedars-Sinai  Medical Center vs.
Mediware  Information  Systems,  Inc. et al,  commenced on March 26, 1997 in Los
Angeles County Superior Court.  The litigation  arises out of a contract between
Continental  and the customer,  under which  Continental  was to install certain
computer  equipment and software.  The plaintiff alleges that computer equipment
and software were not operational,  and that the contract the plaintiff had with
Continental  was  assigned  without its consent to  Digimedics  when it acquired
Continental's Pharmakon Division (See Note J and H to the Financial Statements).
The plaintiff also alleges that Digimedics failed to honor the contract and that
Mediware  did not fulfill  its  promise to install  and support the  software as
prescribed in the contract.  The plaintiff's  claims against  Digimedics are for
breach of  contract,  intentional  interference  with  contract,  and  negligent
interference  with contract.  The  plaintiff's  claims against  Mediware are for
promissory  estoppel,  intentional  interference  with  contract,  and negligent
interference with contract.  The plaintiff is seeking unspecified  compensatory,
consequential, and punitive damages. Management believes that the claims against
the COMPANY are without merit and is vigorously opposing those claims,  however,
the  outcome is  presently  undeterminable.  In the opinion of  management,  the
amount  of  potential  liability  with  respect  to the above  actions  will not
materially affect the COMPANY's financial position or results of operations. The
COMPANY is not aware of any proceedings  contemplated by government  authorities
that would have a material adverse affect on the COMPANY or its business.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         The COMPANY did not submit any matter to a vote of its security holders
during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

         The  reported  trading  volume  is  low.  As  of  June  30,  1997,  the
approximate  number of shareholders of record of the COMPANY's  Common Stock was
300.

         The listing  maintenance  standards  of Nasdaq  include a net  tangible
assets test which will become  effective  at the end of a phase-in  period.  The
COMPANY  believes  that it meets the test by a small  margin.  The Pacific Stock
Exchange  ("PSE"),  on which the Common  Stock also is listed,  has  imposed new
listing  maintenance  criteria  based on net worth and tangible net assets.  The
COMPANY does not meet the new criteria; however, the PSE has granted the COMPANY
a phase-in  compliance  period,  until the end of 1997.  If the COMPANY does not
meet the new criteria of the PSE after the  extended  compliance  period,  it is
subject to being delisted. If both listings are terminated because of failure to
meet the applicable criteria,  the liquidity for the COMPANY's Common Stock will
be  severely  impaired  in  the  absence  of  the  development  of a  meaningful
alternative to Nasdaq.

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.

ITEM 6.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 Healthcare Systems, Inc. ("Continental").  The 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 satisfied  pursuant
to a promissory note issued to Continental, originally due November 30, 1996. On
October 28, 1996 the promissory note was amended,  providing among other things,
an extension of the due date to August 1, 1997. The promissory  note was further
amended,  effective July 21, 1997, to provide for a reduced  principal amount to
$4,196,000 and extended payment terms. The second amendment  requires  quarterly
principal payments of $150,000 commencing October 31, 1997, with the balance due
November 30, 1998, or earlier based upon a change in control or  refinancing  by
the COMPANY and a reduction in the interest  rate to 8.5% payable  monthly.  The
COMPANY will review the financing needs of this promissory note and general cash
requirements  on an ongoing basis.  It is expected that the COMPANY will require
additional  sources of  liquidity  to fund the payment of this  promissory  note
along with other financing needs including potential acquisitions.

        The COMPANY entered into a service  agreement with Continental as of the
acquisition  date which requires the COMPANY to perform  functions in satisfying
various  in-process  customer  contracts,  collection  of  Continental  accounts
receivables  and  other  activities   related  to  fulfilling   post-acquisition
Continental  obligations.  The service agreement provided that the COMPANY would
retain 30% of the monies collected on the receivables which the COMPANY services
plus  $1,237,000.  In connection with the amendment to the promissory  note, the
service  agreement  with  Continental  was also  amended on July 21,  1997.  The
amended  service  agreement  allows  the  COMPANY  to  retain  100% of  accounts
receivable  amounts  collected  after  the  amendment  date  which  had not been
invoiced by Continental  prior to the acquisition  date. The promissory note was
reduced by $437,000 (to $4,196,000)  through the application of the amount owing
from  Continental to the COMPANY for completed  services in accordance  with the
service  agreement.  Total  fiscal  1997  revenues  recorded  from this  service
agreement approximate $1.2 million.

         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  $5,500,000.
Total expense for the June 1996 private placement aggregate  $568,000.  In order
to provide for general  cash needs,  the COMPANY  completed  in August,  1997, a
private  placement of its  securities.  The COMPANY  sold 400,000  shares of its
Common Stock for $6.00 per share and issued  warrants to purchase  40,000 shares
of Common Stock at $6.00 per share (as part of its placement  fee).  The COMPANY
has  agreed to  register  the  shares  sold in the  private  placement  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.   Total  proceeds  before  expenses  were
$2,400,000.  Expenses of the August 1997 private  placement and  registration of
the securities are estimated to be approximately $310,000.

         The COMPANY's  cash and cash  equivalent  position at June 30, 1997 was
$1,935,000,  a decrease of $569,000  from fiscal year end 1996. At June 30, 1997
the net working  capital was  $2,487,000  and the current  ratio was 1:4-1.  The
impact of the August,  1997 private  placement on the COMPANY's cash and working
capital  position  is  shown  (as if it had  occurred  on June  30,  1997) on an
unaudited Pro Forma balance sheet in the financial statements (see Note M to the
Financial  Statements).  The Pro  Forma  cash and cash  equivalent  position  is
$4,025,000;  the pro-forma net working  capital was $4,577,000 and the Pro Forma
working  capital ratio was 1.7 to 1. The Pro Forma balances are not  prospective
information.  Actual cash and working capital amounts at the time of the private
placement may differ significantly from such Pro Forma amounts.


         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 directors. As part of the financing package
such  investors  received  promissory  notes  along with  1,040,025  warrants to
purchase  shares of common  stock,  exercisable  at $0.50 per share and  129,695
warrants  exercisable  at $1.25 per share.  During fiscal year 1996, the COMPANY
repaid  $120,000,  leaving a balance of $1,179,000.  In May of 1996, some of the
investors exercised 495,025 of the $0.50 warrants for a total of $247,512.50.  A
portion of these funds was used by the COMPANY for the  acquisition of Pharmakon
and JAC. In September of 1997,  $325,000 of the $1,179,000 balance was repaid to
individuals whose notes were not subordinate to the Continental promissory note.
Effective September 15, 1997 these note holders agreed to reduce the interest on
this unpaid amount from 12% to 9% leaving the unpaid  balance of $854,000  owing
to two directors and another person.

         The COMPANY has  procured a line of credit from a bank in the total sum
of $75,000.  As of June 30, 1997, there were no balances  outstanding under this
facility.

Material Changes in Results of Operations: Fiscal 1997 vs. Fiscal 1996

         Total revenue increased by $8,087,000 or 78% from $10,432,000 in fiscal
1996 to $18,519,000 in fiscal 1997.  The increase is primarily  attributable  to
the Pharmakon and JAC acquisition ("Acquisition"). Pharmakon and JAC contributed
$163,000 or less than one month in revenue in fiscal 1996 and  $7,547,000  for a
full year in fiscal 1997.

         System sales  increased by $448,000 or 8% from $5,781,000 to $6,229,000
in fiscal 1997.  Pharmakon and JAC system sales  increased  $1,361,000 in fiscal
1997 from the prior year.  The sales  increase from the  Acquisition  was offset
primarily from a decrease in Hemocare  system sales.  Hemocare  shifted  pricing
focus from initial system dollar revenue to increased long-term  maintenance and
support service revenue.

         Service revenues increased 164% or $7,639,000 in fiscal 1997 vs. fiscal
1996.  Service revenue increases in fiscal 1997 vs. fiscal 1996 were principally
due to the  Pharmakon  and  JAC  Acquisition,  which  recorded  an  increase  of
$6,023,000.  Additionally,  Hemocare service revenues increased by $1,018,000 in
fiscal 1997 over the prior year due largely to a focused  marketing  emphasis on
increasing service revenues.

         Cost of systems includes the cost of computer  hardware and sublicensed
software  purchased  from  computer and software  manufacturers  for delivery to
clients  along with related  transportation  costs.  As a percentage  of related
sales,  cost of systems  increased  4% from 35% in fiscal  1996 to 39% in fiscal
1997.  This increase  reflects a higher  proportion of third party  software and
computer  hardware in fiscal  1997 vs.  fiscal 1996 which is sold at lower gross
margins than company produced product sales.

         Cost  of  services  include  salaries  of  client  service   personnel,
communications  expenses,  unreimbursed travel, and training expenses along with
related office and other direct expenses.  Cost of Services increased $1,510,000
or 108% in fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996.  As a  percentage  of service
revenue,  cost of services decreased 6% from 30% in fiscal 1996 to 24% in fiscal
1997. The increase in expense is principally due to the Acquisition.  Due to the
relatively  fixed  staffing  and other  expense  within  cost of  services,  the
increase in corresponding service revenues resulted in higher gross margins.

         Software development costs include salaries, documentation,  office and
other  expenses  incurred  in product  development  along with  amortization  of
software development costs. Software development costs increased 50% or $717,000
in fiscal 1997 vs.  fiscal 1996.  This  increase is primarily  the result of the
Pharmakon  and JAC  acquisition.  Pharmakon  and JAC  development  expenses were
$761,000  in fiscal  1997 and  $21,000 in fiscal  1996 (from  under one month of
activity in fiscal 1996). Total expenditures for software development, including
both  capitalized and  non-capitalized  portions for fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996
were $2,591,000 and $1,452,000. These amounts exclude amortization.  Capitalized
software  cost  additions  were $929,000 and $496,000 for fiscal 1997 and fiscal
1996  respectively.  The  increase in the  percentage  of costs  capitalized  is
primarily due to WORx product software development. The WORx development project
reached  technical  feasibility  in early fiscal 1997.  During fiscal 1996,  the
COMPANY recorded a charge to operations of $3,891,000 for acquired  research and
development from the Pharmakon  acquisition.  There was no such charge in fiscal
1997.  Management  expects  continued  increases in software  development in the
future.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  include  marketing and
sales salaries,  commissions,  travel and advertising expenses. Also included is
bad debt expense;  legal,  accounting and professional fees;  salaries and bonus
expenses  for  corporate,   divisional,  financial  and  administrative  staffs;
utilities,  rent,  communications  and other office expenses;  and other related
direct administrative  expenses.  Selling,  general and administrative  expenses
increased  66% or  $3,253,000  from  $4,960,000  in fiscal 1996 to $8,213,000 in
fiscal 1997. The Pharmakon and JAC  acquisition  accounted for the majority,  or
$2,924,000, of this increase.

         Net  interest  expense  increased  $457,000  or 226.% from  $202,000 in
fiscal 1996 to $659,000 in fiscal 1997.  This  increase is primarily  due to the
promissory note issued in connection with the Acquisition.

         In fiscal years ended 1997 and 1996 the COMPANY  reported income tax of
$85,000 and $6,000 or an effective  rate of 3.9% in fiscal 1997 (fiscal 1996 was
a loss year).  Income tax for both years has  principally  been state and local.
The COMPANY  utilized net operating loss carry forwards in fiscal 1997 (see note
I to the  Financial  Statements).  The  COMPANY  has a  deferred  tax  asset  of
$3,781,000  at June 30, 1997 which is fully  reserved as the  likelihood  of its
future  utilization  cannot be presently  determined.  Future utilization of the
deferred tax asset is dependent upon the COMPANY's future  profitability as well
as the outcome of various acquisition and other strategies and planned increased
software development  activities both of which management expects will result in
future tax deductions reducing or eliminating any taxable income.

         The COMPANY had net earnings of $2,081,000 or $0.35 per share in fiscal
1997.  In fiscal 1996,  the  COMPANY's  reported net (loss) of  ($3,491,000)  or
($1.24)  per  share,   which  included   $3,891,000  of  acquired  research  and
development write-downs.

       information  system  software,  services  related  to  the  training  and
       installation of the software and sale of computer hardware.  Pre-packaged
       software revenue is recognized upon delivery.  Computer  hardware revenue
       is recognized upon shipment.  Training and system installation revenue is
       recognized when services are performed.  Support and maintenance  revenue
       is  recognized  on a  pro-rata  basis  over the  period of the  contract.
       Contracts for the Pharmakon  software that  pre-dated the  acquisition of
       Pharmakon    (Note   B)   are    recognized    as   revenue   using   the
       percentage-of-completion   method   provided   that   collectibility   is
       determinable.

 [3]   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.

 [4]   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.

 [5]   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 $1,662,000 and $956,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997
       and  1996,  respectively.  Software  development  costs  reported  on the
       consolidated statements of operations include amortization (Note D).

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (CONTINUED)

[6]    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.

 [7]   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.

 [8]   Income taxes:

       The Company utilizes the method of accounting for income taxes prescribed
       by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
       Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).  Pursuant to SFAS 109,  deferred tax assets and
       liabilities are recognized for the future tax  consequences  attributable
       to  differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying  amounts of
       existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred
       tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect
       at the balance sheet date.  The resulting  asset or liability is adjusted
       to reflect enacted changes in tax law.

 [9]   Earnings (loss) per share:

       Earnings  (loss) per share are based on the  weighted  average  number of
       shares  outstanding  during each year.  Stock  options and  warrants  are
       included as share equivalents using the modified treasury stock method.

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

[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]   Impairment of long-lived assets:

       During the year ended June 30,  1997 the  Company  adopted  Statement  of
       Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"),  "Accounting for the
       Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
       Of". SFAS 121  establishes  accounting  standards  for the  impairment of
       long-lived assets,  certain  identifiable assets, and goodwill related to
       those  assets. The  adoption  of SFAS 121 had no effect on the  Company's
       financial statements.

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (CONTINUED)

[12]   Financial instruments:

       The carrying amounts of accounts  receivable,  accounts payable,  accrued
       expenses,  capitalized  lease  obligations and long-term debt approximate
       their  fair value as the  interest  rates on the  Company's  indebtedness
       appproximate current market rates and due to the short period to maturity
       of these instruments.





[13]   Stock-based compensation:

       In  October  1995,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
       Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  123  ("SFAS  123"),
       "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".  SFAS 123 encourages, but does
       not  require,  companies  to  record  compensation  cost for  stock-based
       employee  compensation  plans at fair  value.  The Company has elected to
       continue to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans using
       the intrinsic  value method  prescribed by  Accounting  Principles  Board
       Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"),  Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and
       disclose the pro forma  effects on net and earnings  (loss) per share had
       the fair value of options been expensed.  Under the provisions of APB 25,
       compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of
       the quoted market price of the Company's  common stock at the date of the
       grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock (see Note
       G).

[14] Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

       In  February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
       Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128  ("SFAS  128"),
       "Earnings per Share".  This new standard  requires dual  presentation  of
       basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the statement
       of  income  and  requires   reconciliation  of  the  numerators  and  the
       denominators  of the basic and diluted EPS  calculation.  This  statement
       will be effective  for the second  quarter of the  Company's  1998 fiscal
       year and will require retroactive  restatement of previously reported per
       share data. The Company has not yet  quantified  what effect the adoption
       of SFAS 128 will have on its earnings per share of common stock.

       In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
       of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  130 ("SFAS  130"),  "Reporting
       Comprehensive  Income",  and No. 131,  "Disclosures  about Segments of an
       Enterprise and Related  Information".  These statements will be effective
       for the Company's  1999 fiscal year.  Implementing  SFAS 130 and SFAS 131
       will  not  effect  the  Company's   financial   position  or  results  of
       operations.


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") on that date.
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.

NOTE E - NOTES PAYABLE  (CONTINUED)

           (1)  On October 28, 1996 the Acquisition  Note was amended to provide
                for an extension of the original due date to August 1, 1997. The
                extension  agreement  provided  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 and 8.25% on the remaining $1,237,000.
                The  agreement  provided  for the  monthly  payments to be first
                applied to the  interest on the  $1,237,000  portion of the loan
                and the remainder  applied to the interest,  then principal,  of
                the portion of the loan which bears interest at 15%.

                Effective  July 21,  1997,  the  Acquisition  Note  was  further
                amended.  The second  amendment  provides for (i) a reduction of
                the  principal  balance by  $437,000,  which amount was owing by
                Continental to Digimedics  pursuant to a service agreement (Note
                J),  (ii)  extended   payment  terms  which  require   quarterly
                principal payments of $150,000  commencing October 31, 1997 with
                the balance due on November 30, 1998, or earlier in the event of
                a change in control or  refinancing  by the Company as described
                in the amended agreement,  and (iii) a reduction in the interest
                rate to 8.5%  payable  monthly.  The note is  classified  in the
                accompanying  financial  statements based on the amended payment
                terms.

           (2)  Of these notes,  $854,000 are  subordinated  to the  Acquisition
                Note  and are  accordingly  classified  as  long-term  debt.  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  129,695  shares for $1.25 per share,  exercisable
                through  September  30,  2004.  During May 1996,  495,025 of the
                $0.50 warrants were exercised.

      The Company also has options  outstanding  pursuant to a 1982 Stock Option
      Plan (the "1982 Plan") and a Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the
      "Non-Employee Directors Plan"). No additional options may be granted under
      the 1982 Plan or the  Non-Employee  Directors  Plan. The options under the
      Non-Employee  Directors  Plan  entitle the  holders to purchase  shares of
      common stock at a price equal to the fair value on the date of grant.

      In November 1996, the Company granted a director of the Company options to
      purchase  75,000  shares of common stock at $3.50 per share  pursuant to a
      consulting  agreement.  The  options are  exercisable  at a rate of 25,000
      options  per annum  commencing  November 1, 1997 and expire on November 1,
      2001.  The  Company  determined  the fair  value of  these  options  to be
      approximately  $117,000  which is being charged to  operations  over three
      years.

      The  following  table sets forth  summarized  information  concerning  the

NOTE G - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY  (CONTINUED)

[1]   Stock options and warrants:  (continued)

      The  weighted-average  fair  value at date of grant  for  options  granted
      during  the year  ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996 was  $1.89  and $0.73 per
      option,  respectively.  The fair  value of  options  at date of grant  was
      estimated  using the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  utilizing the
      following assumptions:

<TABLE>

<CAPTION>
                                                           June 30,

<S>                                               <C>              <C>
Risk-free interest rates                          5.6% - 6.5%      5.9% - 6%
Expected option life in years                        3 - 8           3 - 8
Expected stock price volatility                       50%             80%
Expected dividend yield                                0               0

</TABLE>

      Had the Company elected to recognize  compensation  cost based on the fair
      value of the options at the date of grant as  prescribed  by SFAS 123, net
      earnings (loss) for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been
      $2,010,000  and  $(3,521,000)  or $0.34 per share and  $(1.25)  per share,
      respectively.

[2]   Private Placement:

      During  June  1996,  the  Company  completed  a private  placement  of its
      securities.  The Company issued  1,692,308  shares of its common stock for
      $3.25 a share,  yielding gross proceeds of  approximately  $5,550,000.  In
      connection with the private placement and the related  registration of the
      securities  (pursuant to registration rights granted to the investors) the
      Company  incurred  costs  aggregating  $568,000  (of  which  approximately
      $118,000 was paid to a related party) ( see Note K). The Company  recorded
      $437,000  of these  costs  during the fiscal  year ended June 30, 1996 and
      $131,000  during the fiscal year ended June 30,  1997.  The  Company  also
      issued  30,768  sharesof common stock to  related  parties as a  placement
      fee valued at $100,000.

[1]   Operating leases:  (continued)

      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,  1997 and 1996
      aggregated $442,000 and $213,000, respectively.

[2]   Software license agreement:

      In  September  1990,  the Company  entered  into an agreement to acquire a
      perpetual  license  for a  computerized  information  system for  hospital
      operating  rooms. The Company is required to pay royalties of 5% to 15% of
      sales of the product.

[3]   Contingency:

      Mediware  Information  Systems,   Inc.,   ("Mediware")  its  wholly  owned
      subsidiary,  Digimedics,  and Continental have been named as co-defendants
      in a  litigation  which  has  been  commenced  by  a  former  customer  of
      Continental.  The litigation arises out of a contract between  Continental
      and the customer,  under which Continental was to install certain computer
      equipment and software.  The plaintiff alleges that computer equipment and
      software  were not  operational,  and that the contract the  plaintiff had
      with  Continental  was assigned  without its consent to Digimedics when it
      acquired Continental's Pharmakon Division (see Note J). The plaintiff also
      alleges that Digimedics failed to honor the contract and that Mediware did
      not fulfill its promise to install and support the software as  prescribed
      in the contract.  The plaintiff's claims against Digimedics are for breach
      of  contract,   intentional  interference  with  contract,  and  negligent
      interference  with contract.  The plaintiff's  claims against Mediware are
      for promissory  estoppel,  intentional  interference  with  contract,  and
      negligent interference with contract. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified
      compensatory,  consequential,  and punitive damages.  Management  believes
      that the claims  against the Company are without  merit and is  vigorously
      opposing those claims,  however, the outcome is presently  undeterminable.
      In the opinion of management any potential  liability with respect to this
      litigation will not materially affect the company's  financial position or
      results of operations.

[4]   Other matters:

      Substantially  all of the  Company's  cash is held at two  large financial
      institutions.

NOTE J - SERVICE AGREEMENT

Concurrent  with  the  acquisition  of  Pharmakon,  Digimedics  entered  into an
agreement  with  Continental  to  perform  Continental's  obligation  to provide
certain  services  for  customers  of  Continental,  such  services  to  include
installation  of systems,  customizing  systems,  and  providing  hardware.  The
agreement also provides for  Digimedics 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.  Digimedics was to be
paid  approximately  $1,237,000 plus 30% of amounts collected for performing the
foregoing services.

Effective  July 21,  1997 the above  agreement  was  modified  to  provide  that
Digimedics  will be entitled to retain 100% of any amounts  collected after July
21,  1997 with  respect  to  accounts  receivable  which had not been  billed by
Continental prior to the acquisition  date. In addition,  that amount to be paid
by  Continental  to Digimedics  was reduced from  $1,237,000  to $437,000.  Such
amount ($437,000) was effectively  received as of July 21, 1997 by the reduction
of principal amount of the Acquisition Note. This payment was for work performed
to date  for  servicing  the  various  customers  and is  included  in  accounts
receivable at June 30, 1997 (Note E).

         This Note is an amendment  and  restatement  of, and is being issued in
replacement and substitution  for, the amended and Restated  Secured  Promissory
Note dated October 28, 1996 by the Debtor to the Payee in the original principal
amount of $5,000,000 (the "october '96 Note"), which itself was an amendment and
restatement of, and was issued in replacement and substitution  for, the Secured
Promissory  Note dated June 17, 1996 by the Debtor to the Payee in the  original
principal  amount of $6,000,000  (the "June '96 Note;" the June '96 Note and the
October  '96 Note are  collectively  referred  to as the  "Original  Note").  In
addition  to the  indebtedness  evidenced  by this  Note,  this Note  shall also
evidence any accrued and unpaid interest on the Original Notes.

                  SECTION 1. TERMS OF PAYMENT; PURPOSE OF LOAN

         ss.1.1.  Mandatory  Payments.  On October 31,  January 31, April 30 and
July 31 of each year, commencing October 31, 1997, the Debtor shall pay $150,000
to the Payee to be applied by the Payee to the unpaid principal  balance of this
Note.

         ss.1.2.  Optional  Prepayments.  The Debtor may, at its option,  at any
time and from time to time,  prepay all or any part of the principal  balance of
this Note,  without  penalty or premium,  in multiples  of  $100,000,  provided,
however,  that  concurrently  with each such  prepayment  the  Debtor  shall pay
accrued  interest on the  principal  so prepaid to the date of such  prepayment;
Provided,  further,  however,  that, in addition to the foregoing,  any optional
prepayment  made prior to November 30, 1997 shall be accompanied by a prepayment
penalty  equal to the amount of  interest  that  would  have been  earned on the
principal amount being prepaid from the date of such prepayment through November
30, 1997; no such penalty will exist for any prepayment  made after November 30,
1997.

         ss.1.3. Day of Payment. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall
become due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined  below),
such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of
any payment of principal,  such extension of time shall in such case be included
in computing interest on such payment. As used herein, "Business Day" shall mean
any day which is not a Saturday or Sunday and on which banks in the State of New
York are not authorized or required to close. Interest on past due principal and
accrued interest thereon shall be calculated as follows: The amount of principal
and  interest  past due  multiplied  by the  Default  Rate and  multiplied  by a
fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the  number  of days such  principal  and
interest is past due and the denominator of which is 360.

         ss.1.4. Use of Proceeds. This Note is the "Note" referred to in Section
2.04 of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (as amended, modified
or supplemented in accordance with its terms,  the "Purchase  Agreement")  among
the  Debtor,  the  Payee and  Information  Handling  Services  Group,  Inc.  and
evidences part of the "Purchase Price" as therein defined.

         ss.1.5. Obligation to Pay. The Debtor shall make all payments hereunder
in full without offset,  reduction or deduction of any kind or amount or for any
reason, including,  without limitation,  set off by any amounts which Debtor may
claim or be entitled to claim under Section 6.02 of the Purchase Agreement.

generally  and (ii) the  remedy  of  specific  performance  and  other  forms of
equitable relief may be subject to equitable  defenses and the discretion of any

reports  of the  Guarantor  furnished  by the Debtor to the Payee  contains  any
material  misstatement  of fact or omitted or omits to state any  material  fact

                  amounts of more than $100,000 but less than $250,000 shall not

                  contesting  the default  under the  capitalized  lease in good
                  faith and has set aside reserves  therefore in accordance with

                  enforceable  in  accordance  with its terms,  or the  security
                  interest  or  Lien  purported  to be  created  by  any  of the
                  Security  Documents  shall for any  reason  cease to be, or be
                  asserted by any Loan Party not to be, a valid,  first priority

                  all of which are hereby expressly waived) forthwith become due

                  payable without presentment,  demand, protest or notice of any

 AGREEMENT REGARDING COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND SERVICING OF 
                   CUSTOMERS AS RELATED TO DEFERRED REVENUES


         AGREEMENT  REGARDING  COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS REEIVABLE AND SERVICING OF
CUSTOMERS  AS RELATED TO  DEFERRED  REVENUES  DATED AS OF June 17,  1996,  among
Continental  Healthcare Systems,  Inc., a Delaware corporation,  ("Continental")
and Digimedics Corp., a California corporation (Digimedics").

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS,  Continental  and  Digimedics  are parties to a certain  Asset
Purchase  Agreement  dated June 17, 1996 providing for, among other things,  the
purchase  by  Digimedics   from   Continental   of  certain  assets  related  to
Continental's  business of developing,  selling and supporting computer software
systems and providing management information systems, for hospital pharmacies in
the United States and other countries (the "Business"); and

         WHEREAS, while Digimedics is purchasing some accounts receivable of the
Business,  Digimedics is not  purchasing,  and  Continental is retaining,  other
accounts receivable of the Business;

     WHEREAS,  relating to the  accounts  receivable  retained  by  Continental,
additional work needs to be done;

         WHEREAS, Continental wishes to contract with Digimedics to perform this
additional work relating to and to assist Continental in collecting the accounts
receivable that Continental is retaining,  and Digimedics is willing to do so on
the terms and conditions set forth herein;

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein and other good and sufficient  consideration  paid, the parties
hereby agree as follows:

         1.       Collection of Accounts Receivable.

                  a. In General.  Continental is contracting  with Digimedics as
         provided  in this  agreement  to  assist  with  the  collection  of the
         Receivables  (defined below) and in consideration  therefor Continental
         will  pay  to  Digimedics   thirty  percent  (30%)  of  the  amount  of
         Receivables actually collected.

                  b. Amount and  Identification  of Receivables.  As of the date
         hereof, certain receivables will be transferred and become the property
         of Digimedics  while the remaining  receivables  remain the property of
         Continental.  These  remaining  receivables,  totaling Five Million One
         Hundred   Eighty  Five   Thousand   Eight  Hundred   Nineteen   Dollars
         ($5,185,819),  remain the property of Continental  and will be referred
         to in this agreement as the  "Receivables;"  any one of the Receivables
         will be referred to a "Receivable." A list of all of the Receivables is
         set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.

                  c.       Level and Extent of Effort.

                           i. Commercially  Reasonable Efforts.  Digimedics will
                  assume  the  primary   responsibility   for   collecting   the
                  Receivables and will use  commercially  reasonable  efforts to
                  make such  collections.  During the period when  Digimedics is
                  responsible for collecting the  Receivables,  Continental will
                  not  make  any  efforts   whatsoever   to  also   collect  the
                  Receivables  that have not yet been billed to the  customer by
                  Continental.   Commercially   reasonable  efforts  means  that
                  Digimedics  will contact the customers  owing the  Receivables
                  and attempt to collect the  Receivables due from that customer
                  but does not mean that Digimedics is required to lose money in
                  this  process,  that is, to use a level of  effort to  collect
                  from a  customer  which  costs  (on a  fully  allocated  basis
                  including a profit  margin) more than the thirty percent (30%)
                  of the  receivables  owned by that customer.  In no event will
                  Digimedics be required to [A] engage a collection  agency,  or
                  [B] to commence  litigation against any account debtor, or [C]
                  attempt to enforce against a customer an existing  contractual
                  obligation, such as to purchase a module, where after entering
                  the  contract  the  customer  has  decided  not to  make  such
                  purchase,  in order to collect  Receivables.  However,  should
                  Digimedics  deem it  advisable  to  engage  a third  party  to
                  collect  all  or  part  of  the   Receivables   and   provided
                  Continental agrees in writing to do so, the costs of the third
                  party will be deducted from the  Receivables and the remainder
                  will be allocated  seventy  percent (70%) to  Continental  and
                  thirty  percent  (30%) to  Digimedics.  The  limitation on the
                  amount to be spent by  Digimedics  on  collection  provided in
                  this  paragraph  is  independent  of and not a  limitation  on
                  Digimedics'  costs to perform the work for customers  referred
                  to in paragraph 2 below.

                           ii. Uncollectible Receivables.  The parties recognize
                  that  it  may  be   difficult   to  collect   certain  of  the
                  Receivables.  At any time,  Digimedics may indicate in writing
                  to Continental that it is not able to collect a Receivable for
                  which   customer  work  has  been  completed  at  which  point
                  Digimedics  will be relieved  from any  obligation  to collect
                  such Receivable, which obligation will fall to Continental. In
                  any  event,  should  Digimedics  not  be  able  to  collect  a
                  Receivable  within  twelve (12) months  after  Digimedics  has
                  completed the work  Continental is contracting with Digimedics
                  to do under paragraph 2 below, then Continental may by written
                  notice  require  that  Digimedics  cease  its  efforts  and be
                  relieved from any obligation to collect such Receivable, which
                  obligation  will  fall  to  Continental.   In  the  event  the
                  obligation to collect a Receivable falls on Continental,  then
                  whatever  amount  Continental  collects  shall be for the sole
                  benefit of Continental.

                  d. Mechanism for Payment of Receivables to Continental  and of
                  Collection Fee to Digimedics.

                           i.  Continental,  Digimedics  and Lock Box Procedure.
                  With  respect to the  Receivables  that have been  invoiced by
                  Continental  prior  to  the  date  of  this  Agreement,  it is
                  anticipated   that  the  customer   will  pay  the  amount  to
                  Continental as indicated on the invoice and  Continental  will
                  pay  thirty  percent  (30%)  of such  funds to  Digimedics  on
                  receipt  by  Continental.  Regarding  the  Receivables  not so
                  billed by  Continental  prior to the date  hereof,  Digimedics
                  will  instruct  and use its best  reasonable  efforts  to have
                  customers pay amounts  related to Receivables  directly into a
                  lock box or account  (the "Lock  Box") at a Bank (the  "Bank")
                  pursuant to a lock box agreement  attached hereto as Exhibit 1
                  (the "Lock Box Agreement").  Among other things,  the Lock Box
                  Agreement provides that as promptly as practicable,  depending
                  upon the Bank's standard practices,  to the extent Receivables
                  are collected,  91) the Bank will provide to both  Continental
                  and  Digimedics a list of the deposits  made into the Lock Box
                  during the prior period, identifying the name of the depositor
                  and the  amount  deposited  and 92) the Bank will pay  seventy
                  percent (70%) of such funds to Continental  and thirty percent
                  (30%) of such funds to Digimedics.

                           ii.  "True-Up"  Mechanism.   It  is  recognized  that
                  despite the intentions  and efforts of the parties  otherwise,
                  customers may pay (1) Receivables directly to Digimedics,  (2)
                  amounts that are not  Receivables  ("Non-Receivables")  to the
                  Lock Box, or (3)  Receivables  plus  Non-Receivables  into the
                  Lock Box or directly to Digimedics.  If Receivable are paid to
                  Digimedics, promptly after discovery Digimedics will pay those
                  Receivables  into the Lock Box.  If  Non-Receivables  are paid
                  into the Lock Box,  promptly after discovery  Continental will
                  pay to Digimedics seventy percent (70%) of the Non-Receivables
                  paid into the , representing the total of the  Non-Receivables
                  Continental  has  received  via  operation  of  the  Lock  Box
                  Agreement.  If an  amount  composed  of both  Receivables  and
                  Non-Receivables  is paid to  Digimedics,  then promptly  after
                  discovery Digimedics will pay the Receivables portion into the
                  Lock  Box.  If a an amount  composed  of both  Receivables  an
                  Non-Receivables  is paid to the Lock Box, then promptly  after
                  discovery  Continental will pay to Digimedics  seventy percent
                  (70%) of the  Non-Receivables  portion paid into the Lock box,
                  representing   the  total  of  the   Non-Receivables   portion
                  Continental  has  received  via  operation  of  the  Lock  Box
                  Agreement.

                  e.  Procedures  for Avoidance of Confusion  and  Allocation of
         Payments  by  Customers.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the party's
         acknowledge  that  there  may  be  confusion  regarding  payments  from
         customers  which are  intended  to be  applied to the  Receivables  and
         payments  from  customers  which  are  intended  to be  applied  to new
         receivables  for work or services  provided by  Digimedics  (other than
         work referred to in paragraph 2 below) arising after Digimedics assumes
         the conduct of the  Business.  To avoid such  confusion,  all  payments
         which are clearly identified (either by reference to an invoice number,
         by exactly matching the amount of a specific invoice,  or otherwise) as
         payments for  maintenance or service charges for the period starting on
         the date of the  closing of  Digimedics'  acquisition  of the  Business
         shall  be paid to and  retained  in its  entirety  by  Digimedics.  All
         payments  representing  maintenance  or support  charges for the period
         starting on the  Closing  Date shall be paid to and  retained  100"% by
         Digimedics.  All payments which are identified by the customer hospital
         as relating to a particular invoice shall be allocated to that invoice.
         All  payments  which are  identical  in amount to an  invoice  shall be
         allocated to such  invoice.  All items  designated  as  maintenance  or
         relating to the amount of periodic  maintenance  will be  allocated  to
         maintenance.  In the  event  that  the  dollar  amount  of the  payment
         received is identical to one or more  maintenance  invoices the payment
         will be allocated first to the oldest unpaid maintenance  invoice which
         is no more than 6 months overdue and after all  maintenance 6 months or
         less overdue are paid, then to the oldest maintenance invoice remaining
         unpaid.  In the event that payment is received  which are not allocated
         by the  customer  And  which  do not  match  the  dollar  amount  of an
         outstanding unpaid invoice,  such payment will be applied to the oldest
         outstanding  invoice  provided  such  invoice is not more than 6 months
         overdue and  further  provided  however,  if all  invoices  are current
         (including  maintenance  invoices),  additional funds received from the
         customer  hospital  will be  allocated  to the  oldest  unpaid  invoice
         regardless o whether or not more 6 months overdue. Doe purposes of this
         Agreement the phrase "6 months overdue" shall refer to an invoice which
         as not been  paid for a period  of 6 months  after the due date for the
         payment of such invoice  established  in  accordance  with  Digimedics'
         billing  practices.  Any invoice on which  Digimedics  charges interest
         shall  be  considered  due on  the  date  that  such  interest  charges
         commence.

                  f.  Procedures   Regarding  Certain   Receivables.   Regarding
         Receivables  from  those   agreements   Continental  has  entered  with
         customers on or after January 1, 1996,  Digimedics  agrees that,  until
         June 17,  1997,  should  all or part of a  Digimedics  pharmacy  system
         substitute for the Pharmakon  system then being used by the customer in
         accordance with that agreement,  such  substitution will not reduce the
         amount of the  Receivable  payable by the customer under that agreement
         and the amounts  paid by the  customer  for the  Digimedics  substitute
         shall be deemed to be payment of the  Receivable  by the  customer  for
         purposes of this Agreement,  provided,  however,  that in no event will
         the  Receivable  due from or paid by a  customer  exceed the amount set
         forth for each customer on Schedule A hereto.

         2.     Performance of Additional Services Related to Deferred Revenues.

                  a. Assumption of Obligation to perform Work. As of the date of
         this Agreement,  substantial  additional  services must be performed by
         the customers  identified on Schedule B hereto, such as installation of
         systems, customizing systems, training of customer personnel in the use
         of the system and certain additional hardware (approximately $10,000 to
         $20,000 at cost, in addition to hardware in inventory) must be provided
         to the customers  before the  Receivables  related to such services and
         hardware  can be  billed  and/or  collected,  which  amount  of work is
         quantified on Continental's  financial  statements as of April 30, 1996
         and identified by the term "Deferred Revenues." Deferred Revenues as of
         the date of this Agreement  equal  $1,236,987  (one Million Two Hundred
         Thirty Six Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty Seven Dollars). The performance
         of such work is a condition to payment by those customers of certain of
         the  Receivables.  Digimedics  will agree to perform these services and
         provide  such  hardware on behalf of  Continental  in exchange  for the
         payment to Digimedics of the Deferred  Revenues.  Digimedics  agrees to
         use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the services required in
         connection   with  the  Deferred   Revenue  in  a  reasonably   prompt,
         workmanlike and efficient manner.  Schedule D sets forth  Continental's
         good faith  estimate of the hours  required as of the date set forth on
         that schedule,  based on Continental's  current business practices,  to
         complete the services necessary to fulfill the requirements to bill the
         Receivables in accordance with the underlying contracts.

                  b.   Mechanism   for   Payment  of  Deferred   Revenues.   The
         abovementioned  41,236,987 (One Million Two Hundred Thirty Six Thousand
         Nine  Hundred  Eighty Seven  Dollars)  will be paid by  Continental  to
         Digimedics simultaneous with the full payment of the Note 9as such term
         is  defined  in the Asset  Purchase  Agreement  of even date  among the
         parties and Information  Handling Services Group, Inc. Such payment may
         be made either (a) at the  discre6tion  of either party,  after written
         notice to the other,  by offsetting  the amount due on the Note, or (b)
         by wire transfer to the account  designated by Digimedics on Schedule C
         hereto.

                  c. Each party will  provide to the other with all  records and
         information  that the  other  may  reasonably  request  concerning  the
         collection  of  the   Receivables   and  Digimedics   will  provide  to
         Continental  with all  records and  information  that  Continental  may
         reasonably  request  concerning the status of the additional work to be
         performed  by  Digimedics  in  accordance  with  paragraph  2  of  this
         Agreement.  Each party will provide the other with reasonable access to
         such  records and  information  so that the parties can review same and
         monitor  progress.  It is  anticipated  that the parties will meet on a
         periodic  basis so that each party will be  informed  by the other with
         respect to the Receivables.

                  d.       Certain Matters Related to Certain Contracts.

                           i. Henry Ford and  Fairview.  Continental's  contract
                  with the Henry Ford Hospital  potentially  requires work to be
                  done concerning an MT Device.  Continental's contract with the
                  Fairview  Hospital   potentially  requires  work  to  be  done
                  concerning  a  clinical  evaluation  manage  ("CLEM").  Should
                  either of these hospitals  require that such work be done, any
                  and all obligations  related to the work,  including,  without
                  limitation,  refunding money, performing the work or defending
                  a litigation on the matter will be the sole  responsibility of
                  Continental and Continental will indemnify and hold Digimedics
                  harmless from any and all claims and/or litigation and related
                  expense (including, without limitations, reasonable attorneys'
                  fees and  disbursements  and other  obligation  and settlement
                  costs, regardless of the outcome) arising out of or concerning
                  work to be done for the Henry Ford  Hospital  on the MT Device
                  or for Fairview Hospital on the CLEM.

                           ii.  Pittsburgh.   Continental's  contract  with  the
                  University  of  Pittsburgh   Medical   Center   ("Pittsburgh")
                  potentially   requires  joint  development  work  to  be  done
                  concerning an Electronic MAR. Should  Pittsburgh  require that
                  work be done and Digimedics,  after unsuccessfully  attempting
                  to dissuade  Pittsburgh  from requiring the work be done, does
                  not wish to do the  development  work,  any and al obligations
                  related to the work, including, without limitation,  refunding
                  money,  performing  the work or defending a litigation  on the
                  matter  will be the sole  responsibility  of  Continental  and
                  Continental  will indemnify and hold Digimedics  harmless from
                  any and all  claims  and/or  litigation  and  related  expense
                  (including,  without limitations,  reasonable  attorneys' fees
                  and  disbursements  and other obligation and settlement costs,
                  regardless of the outcome)  arising out of or concerning  work
                  for Pittsburgh to be done on the Electronic MAR.

                           iii. Indemnity Process.  With regard to subparagraphs
                  i. and ii. Immediately  above, as the indemnitor,  Continental
                  may  control the defense of any action or claim at its expense
                  and  through  counsel of its choice and may  resolve or settle
                  the matter  (requiring  Digimedics  agreement to do so only if
                  Digimedics  is  adversely  affected  by such  resolution)  and
                  Digimedics  shall  cooperate  at   Continental's   expense  as
                  reasonably required.

         3.  Representations  and Warranties.  Continental hereby represents and
         warrants to Digimedics as follows:

                  a.  Receivables.  Schedule  A  hereto  sets  forth a true  and
         complete list of all of the Receivables.  All of the Receivables  which
         have been billed as of the date of this  Agreement  arose from the sale
         of  inventory  or services to persons,  corporations,  partnerships  or
         other  entities not  affiliated  with  Continental  and in the ordinary
         course of business consistent with past practice.

                  b.  Deferred  Revenue.  The work to be performed in connection
         with the  Deferred  Revenue  arose under valid and  existing  contracts
         which are  binding  on the  respective  parties  thereto an are in full
         force and effect.

         4.       Miscellaneous.

                  a. Expenses.  Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement,
         all  costs  and  expenses,  including,  without  limitation,  fees  and
         disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants,  incurred
         in connection  with this  Agreement and the  transactions  contemplated
         hereby shall be paid by the part incurring such costs and expenses.


                  b. Notices. All notices,  requests,  waivers,  claims, demands
         and other  communications  which are  required or  permitted  hereunder
         shall be in writing  and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to
         have been duly given or made upon  receipt) by  delivery in person,  by

personally delivered, upon possession of a receipt establishing that a facsimile
transmission  was  received  or five days after  mailed in the  manner  provided
above.  Any party may change its  address for  delivery  of notice by  providing
written notice to the other parties in the manner discussed above.

                  c.  Public  Announcements.  No party to this  Agreement  shall
         make, or cause to be made, any press release or public  announcement in
         respect of this Agreement or the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or
         other wise communicate  with any news media without prior  consultation
         with the other party except as required by applicable  law. The parties
         shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release
         or public announcement.

                  d.  Headings.  The  descriptive  headings  contained  in  this
         Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in
         any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

                  e.  Severability.  If any  term  or  other  provision  of this
         Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law
         or public  policy,  all other terms and  provisions  of this  Agreement
         shall  nevertheless  remain  in full  force  and  effect so long as the
         economic or legal substance of the transactions  contemplated hereby is
         not affected in any manner  materially  adverse to any party. Upon such
         determination  that any term or other provision is invalid,  illegal or
         incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
         faith to modify this  Agreement so as to effect the original  intent of
         the  parties as closely as possible  in an  acceptable  manner in order
         that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally
         contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

                  f. Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement and the Asset  Purchase
         Agreement  and other  agreements  referred  to therein  constitute  the
         entire  agreement  of the parties  hereto  with  respect to the subject
         matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both
         written and oral, among  Continental and Digimedics with respect to the
         subject matter hereof.

                  g. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation
         of law or otherwise  without the express written consent of Continental
         and  Digimedics  (which  consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
         discretion of Continental  and  Digimedics);  provided,  however,  that
         Digimedics  may assign this  Agreement to an Affiliate of Digimedics or
         to any  entity of which it is a  controlling  stockholder  without  the
         consent of Continental,  in which case, such assignee shall  thereafter
         become  obligated  to all of the  obligations  herein  set  forth to be
         performed by  Digimedics,  but  Digimedics  shall remain liable for its
         obligations under this Agreement.

                  h. No  Third  Party  Beneficiaries.  This  Agreement  shall be
         binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties  hereto and
         their permitted  assignees and nothing herein,  express or implied,  is
         intended  to or  shall  confer  upon  any  other  person,  corporation,
         partnership or other entity,  any legal or equitable right,  benefit or
         remedy of any nature whatsoever.

                  i.  Amendment;  Waiver.  This  Agreement may not be amended or
         modified except by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of,
         Continental and Digimedics. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid
         only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be
         bound  thereby.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless in
         writing signed by the party to be charged therewith.  Any waiver of any
         term or condition  shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
         breach  or a  subsequent  waiver of the same  term or  condition,  or a
         waiver of any other term or condition,  of this Agreement.  The failure
         of any party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute
         a waiver of any of such rights.

                  j.  Governing  Law;  Consent to  Jurisdiction.  This Agreement
         shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
         State  of  New  York  applicable  to  contracts  executed  in and to be
         performed  entirely  within  that state.  All  actions and  proceedings
         arising out of or relating  to this  Agreement  shall only be heard and
         determined  in any New York state or federal  court sitting in the City
         of New York.  Any process or notice of motion or other  application  to
         any of such  courts  may be  served  within  or  without  such  court's
         jurisdiction  by  registered  mail or by personal  service,  provided a
         reasonable time for appearance is allows.  With respect to such courts,
         Digimedics and Continental  hereby expressly waive any defense based on
         doctrines  of  venue  or  forum  non  conveniens  or  similar  rules or
         doctrines.

                  k.       Dispute Resolution.

                           i. In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute,
                  the party initiating the  controversy,  claim or dispute shall
                  provide to the other party a written notice containing a brief
                  and concise  statement of the matter,  together  with relevant
                  supporting facts.  During a period of thirty (30) days or such
                  longer period as mutually agreed, the parties shall attempt to
                  settle  the  matter by good faith  negotiation.  Such  efforts
                  shall  include,  but not be limited to, full  presentation  by
                  each  party of its  claims,  with or without  counsel,  to the
                  Presidents  of  Mediware  information  Systems,  Inc.  and  of
                  Information  Handling  Services  Group,  Inc.,  which  are the
                  parent companies of the parties.

                           ii.  If  efforts  under  Subsection  5.k.i.  are  not
                  successful,   such   dispute   will  be   settled  by  binding
                  arbitration in New York, New York,  under the Commercial Rules
                  of the American Arbitration Association then in effect (except
                  as  otherwise  set forth in the  Agreement).  The  failure  to
                  comply with  Subsection  5.k.i.  with  respect to such dispute
                  shall be an absolute  bar to the  institution  of  arbitration
                  proceedings  with respect  thereto.  The arbitration  shall be
                  conducted  in the  English  language  before  a panel of three
                  arbitrators,  one of whom is selected by  Continental,  one of
                  whom is selected by Digimedics, and one of whom is selected by
                  Continental  and  Digimedics  jointly  (or  by the  other  two
                  arbitrators,  if the parties cannot  agree).  The parties will
                  cooperate  with each other in causing  the  arbitration  to be
                  held in as efficient and  expeditious a manner as practicable.
                  If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator in thirty days,
                  the other  party may  request  that the  American  Arbitration
                  Association may be such  appointment.  The arbitrators will be
                  required to render a full and complete written report of their
                  decision.  The decision of a majority of the arbitrators  will
                  constitute the  arbitrators'  decision.  Any award rendered by
                  the  arbitrators  shall be binding upon the parties hereto and
                  shall be final,  subject  to  review  by a court of  competent
                  jurisdiction under the statutory standard of review applicable
                  to  arbitration.  Judgment  on the award may be entered in any
                  court of record  having  competent  jurisdiction.  Each  party
                  shall pay its own expenses or  arbitration  and the expenses o
                  the arbitrators shall be equally shared except that if, in the
                  opinion of the  arbitrators,  any claim or position by a party
                  hereto,  or any defense or objection  thereto by another party
                  was  unreasonable  or frivolous,  the arbitrators may in their
                  discretion assess as part of their award all or any art of the
                  arbitration  expenses of the other party or parties (including
                  reasonable  attorneys'  fees) and  expenses of the  arbitrator
                  against such party.  Nothing  herein shall prevent the parties
                  from settling any dispute by mutual agreement at any time. The
                  law of the State of New York shall govern the validity,  scope
                  and effect of this Subsection 5.k.

                  l. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
         counterparts,   and  by  the  different   parties  hereto  in  separate
         counterparts,  each of which  when  executed  shall be  deemed to be an
         original but all of which taken together  shall  constitute one and the
         same agreement.

                  m.  Specific  Performance.   The  parties  hereto  agree  that
         irreparable  damage  would  occur in the  event any  provision  of this
         Agreement  was not  performed in  accordance  with the terms hereof and
         that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms
         hereof,  in addition to any other  remedy at law or equity  without the
         necessity of demonstration the inadequacy of monetary damages.

                  n.  Receipt  of Money or Other  Assets.  If any money or other
         assets are received by  Continental  or  Digimedics  to which the other
         party is  entitled  pursuant to this  Agreement,  such party shall hold
         such money or assets in trust and shall  promptly  notify  and  account
         therefore to the other within fifteen (15) days of receipt.

                  o. Exhibits and  Schedules.  The  Schedules to this  Agreement
         shall be construed  with and as an integral  part of this  Agreement to
         the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein.

         IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  Continental  and  Digimedics  have  caused  this
Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their  respective
officers thereunto duly authorized.

         AGREEMENT dated July 21, 1997 between  Continental  Healthcare Systems,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Continental"), and Digimedics Corp., a California
corporation ("Digimedics").

         WHEREAS,  Continental  and  Digimedics  are parties to a certain  Asset
Purchase  Agreement  dated June 17, 1996 providing for, among other things,  the
purchase  by  Digimedics   from   Continental  of  certain  assets  relating  to
Continental's  business of developing,  selling and supporting computer software
systems and providing management  information systems for hospital pharmacies in
the United States and other countries;

         WHEREAS,  in connection with said Asset Purchase Agreement  Continental
and Digimedics  also entered into a certain  Agreement  Regarding  Collection of
Accounts  Receivable and Servicing of Customers as Related to Deferred  Revenues
dated June 17, 1996 ("Collection and Servicing Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, Continental and Digimedics desire to modify certain provisions
of the Collection and Servicing Agreement as set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained
herein and other good and  sufficient  consideration  paid , the parties  hereby
agree as follows:

         1. The Collection and Servicing Agreement provides that Digimedics will
assist  Continental  with the  collection  of  Receivables  (as  defined  in the
Collection and Servicing  Agreement) and in consideration  therefor  Continental
will pay to Digimedics  thirty  percent  (30%) of the amount of the  Receivables
actually collected. The Receivables are in two categories.  "Billed Receivables"
shall mean those Receivables that had been invoiced by Continental prior to June
17, 1996. The Billed Receivables totaled  $2,315,354.40 at June 17, 1996 and are
listed  on the  three  pages  of  Schedule  A to the  Collection  and  Servicing
Agreement headed "JUNEADJ". "Other Receivables" shall mean all Receivables other
than the Billed Receivables. The Other Receivables totaled $2,870,465.21 at June
17,  1996 and are listed on the five pages of Schedule A to the  Collection  and
Servicing Agreement captioned "Deferred Progress Billing".

Continental  hereby  assigns to Digimedics  all of the Other  Receivables to the
extent they remain  uncollected on the date of this Agreement.  Digimedics shall
retain one hundred  percent  (100%) of any amounts  collected  after the date of
this Agreement with respect to the Other  Receivables.  This Agreement shall not
modify the terms of the Collection  and Servicing  Agreement with respect to the
Billed Receivables. Except as otherwise provided in the Collection and Servicing
Agreement, Continental shall be entitled to seventy percent (70%) and Digimedics
shall be entitled to thirty  percent  (30%) of the amount of Billed  Receivables
actually collected.


         2. The Collection  and Servicing  Agreement  provides that  Continental
will pay Digimedics Deferred Revenues in the amount of $1,236,987 simultaneously
with payment by Digimedics of its promissory  note to  Continental.  Continental
and  Digimedics  hereby  agree  that the  amount  to be paid by  Continental  to
Digimedics  with  respect  to  the  Deferred  Revenues  shall  be  reduced  from
$1,236,987 to $437,000. Digimedics acknowledges that Continental's obligation to
pay the  $437,000 has been  satisfied  in full on the date  hereof.  Continental
shall have no further  obligation  to pay any amounts  with  respect to Deferred
Revenues.

         3. Except Collection and Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect, including without limitation the obligations of Mediware provided in
paragraph 2(a) of the Collection and Servicing  Agreement and the obligations of
Continental   provided  in  paragraph  2(d)  of  the  Collection  and  Servicing
Agreement.

         IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  Continental  and  Digimedics  have  caused  this
Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their  respective
officers thereunto duly authorized.

                  MEDIWARE'S  financial audit, based on the successful execution
                  of "mutually agreed upon"  objectives for this position.  This
                  bonus  equates  to 15% of your  annual  salary or a maximum of

                  than February 28th for the first six months of the Fiscal 1997
                  year,  and the  second of which is paid no later than 2 months
                  following MEDIWARE'S financial audit for the second six months

                  September 1st of the next Fiscal year.

                  This bonus will be calculated at 3/4% of 1% (.75%) of MEDIWARE
                  Information  Systems'  "EBIT," or Earning Before  Interest and
                  Taxes.  Based on the Fiscal 1998 MEDIWARE  business plan, this
                  bonus equals $37,500 at 100% attainment of our $5,000,000 EBIT
                  plan.  Since there is no "top stop" for this bonus, the payout
                  could be higher. There will be NO bonuses paid should MEDIWARE
                  achieve 50% or less of its projected EBIT plan.

                  Pharmacy   Division   will  be  revenue  and  profit   dollars
                  associated  with a  special  arrangement  between  Continental
                  Healthcare   Systems  and  MEDIWARE  for  the   collection  of
                  outstanding   receivables  owed  to  Continental.   These  are
                  non-operational  profit  dollars and have not been included in
                  any of the bonus calculations in points [b] or [c] above.

18.      You  will  have  full  Profit  and  Loss  responsibility  for  both the
         Digimedics  Pharmacy Division and the Pharmakon Pharmacy Division,  the
         combination of which comprises the Pharmacy Division of MEDIWARE.

19.      You  will  have  responsibility  for the  Pharmacy  Division's  product
         direction and its associated delivery strategies.

20.      You will as General  Manager of the  Pharmacy  Division  have  override
         authority on sales and service  contracts  pertaining to Digimedics and
         Pharmakon.

21.      You will NOT have  responsibility  for the United  Kingdom  division of
         JAC. A restructuring of Pharmacy operations at some point in the future
         to include JAC in your scope of  responsibility  would be considered at
         that time.

22.      You will have  budgetary  responsibilities  for the  Pharmacy  Division
         which includes capital expenditures and staffing levels.


Rodger, as you and I have discussed,  I believe this is a tremendous opportunity
for both MEDIWARE and  yourself.  MEDIWARE is poised on the  opportunity  of its
corporate  life and you can be one of the  individuals  that  can  help  make it
happen.

I look forward to your rapid and positive decision.

Sincerely,



Les N. Dace
President and Chief Executive Officer

               Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock
                            par value $.10 per share

No. 10                                                          40,000   Shares

                  THIS  CERTIFIES  that, for value  received,  Oscar Gruss & Son
Incorporated,  74 Broad  Street,  New York,  NY 10004-2247  (the  "Holder"),  is
entitled to subscribe for and purchase from MEDIWARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS,  INC.,
a New York corporation (the "Company"),  upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein,  at any time or from time to time after August 27, 1997, and before 5:00
P.M. on August 26, 2000, New York time (the "Exercise Period"), 40,000 shares of
the Company's  Common Stock,  par value $.10 per share  ("Common  Stock"),  at a
price of $6 per share (the  "Exercise  Price").  This  Warrant  may not be sold,
transferred,  assigned or  hypothecated  except that it may be  transferred,  in
whole or in part, (i) by will or by intestate  succession,  or (ii) by operation
of law; and the term the "Holder" as used herein shall include any transferee to
whom this Warrant has been  transferred  in accordance  with the above.  As used
herein the term "this  Warrant"  shall mean and  include  this  Warrant  and any
Warrants  hereafter  issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this
Warrant in whole or in part.

                  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (the "Warrant  Shares") and the Exercise Price may be adjusted from
time to time as hereinafter set forth.

                  1.  This  Warrant  may be  exercised  at any time  during  the
Exercise  Period as to the whole or any lesser  number of whole  shares,  by the
surrender of this Warrant  (with the election to exercise at the end hereof duly
executed) to the Company at its office at 1121 Old Walt Whitman Road,  Melville,
New York,  NY 11747,  or such  other  place as is  designated  in writing by the
Company,  together with a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order
of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised.

                  2. Upon each  exercise of the Holder's  rights to purchase the
Warrant Shares granted pursuant to this Warrant,  as reissued from time to time,
the  Holder  shall be deemed to be the  holder of record of the  Warrant  Shares
issuable  upon such  exercise,  notwithstanding  that the transfer  books of the
Company shall then be closed or  certificates  representing  such Warrant Shares
shall  not  then  have  been  actually  delivered  to the  Holder.  As  soon  as
practicable  after each such exercise of this  Warrant,  the Company shall issue
and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates  for the Warrant Shares,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee.  If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only,  the Company  shall,  upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation,  execute  and deliver a new  Warrant  evidencing  the right of the
Holder to  purchase  the  balance of the Warrant  Shares (or  portions  thereof)
subject to purchase hereunder.

                  3. Any  Warrants  issued upon the transfer or exercise in part
of this Warrant  (together with this Warrant,  the "Warrants") shall be numbered
and shall be  registered in a Warrant  Register as they are issued.  The Company
shall be entitled to treat the  registered  holder of any Warrant on the Warrant
Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to
recognize  any  equitable  or other claim to or interest in such  Warrant on the
part of any  other  person,  and shall not be  liable  for any  registration  or
transfer of Warrants  which are  registered or to be registered in the name of a
fiduciary  or the nominee of a fiduciary  unless made with the actual  knowledge
that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in  requesting  such
registration  or  transfer,  or with  the  knowledge  of  such  facts  that  its
participation  therein amounts to bad faith.  The Warrants shall be transferable
only on the books of the Company  upon  delivery  thereof  duly  endorsed by the
Holder or by his duly authorized  attorney or representative,  or accompanied by
proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer. In all cases
of transfer by an  attorney,  executor,  administrator,  guardian or other legal
representative,  duly  authenticated  evidence of his or its authority  shall be
produced.  Upon any  registration  of transfer,  the Company shall deliver a new
Warrant  or  Warrants  to the  person  entitled  thereto.  The  Warrants  may be
exchanged,  at the option of the Holder thereof,  for another Warrant,  or other
Warrants  of  different  denominations,  of like tenor and  representing  in the
aggregate  the right to  purchase a like number of Warrant  Shares (or  portions
thereof)  upon  surrender  to  the  Company  or  its  duly   authorized   agent.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the Company  shall have no obligation to cause
Warrants  to be  transferred  on its books to any person  if, in the  opinion of
counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the provisions of the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  and the rules and
regulations thereunder.

                  4. The Company shall at all times  reserve and keep  available
out of its  authorized  and  unissued  Common  Stock,  solely for the purpose of
providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant  Shares granted
pursuant to this Warrant,  such number of shares of Common Stock as shall,  from
time to time, be sufficient  therefor.  The Company covenants that all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company
of  the  purchase  price  therefor,   shall  be  validly   issued,   fully  paid
nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights.

                  5. (a) In case the Company shall at any time after the date of
this Warrant (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding Common Stock in shares of
its capital stock,  (ii) subdivide the outstanding  Common Stock,  (iii) combine
the outstanding  Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any
shares of its capital stock by  reclassification  of the Common Stock (including
any such  reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the  continuing  corporation),  then, in each case,  the Exercise
Price,  and the  number  and kind of  shares  of Common  Stock  receivable  upon
exercise  of this  Warrant,  in effect at the time of the  record  date for such
dividend  or  of  the  effective  date  of  such  subdivision,  combination,  or
reclassification,  shall be  proportionately  adjusted so that the Holder  after
such time shall be entitled to receive the  aggregate  number and kind of shares
which,  if such Warrant had been  exercised  immediately  prior to such time, he
would have owned upon such  exercise  and been  entitled to receive by virtue of
such dividend,  subdivision,  combination, or reclassification.  Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

                  (b) Whenever  there shall be an adjustment as provided in this
Section 5, the Company shall promptly cause written notice thereof to be sent by
registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, at its principal office,  which
notice shall be accompanied by an officer's certificate setting forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price after such  adjustment  and setting  forth a brief  statement of the facts
requiring  such  adjustment  and  the  computation   thereof,   which  officer's
certificate  shall  be  conclusive  evidence  of the  correctness  of  any  such
adjustment absent manifest error.

                  (c) The Company  shall not be required to issue  fractions  of
shares of Common Stock or other  capital  stock of the Company upon the exercise
of the Warrants. If any fraction of a share would be issuable on the exercise of
any Warrant (or  specified  portions  thereof) the Company  shall  purchase such
fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Current  Market
Price of such share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Warrant.

                  6. In case of any consolidation  with or merger of the Company
with or into another  Corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which
the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation), or in case of any sale,
lease or conveyance to another  corporation of the property of the Company as an
entirety or substantially  as an entirety,  the Company shall give the Holder 10
days  written  notice in advance of the  effective  time of such  consolidation,
merger, sale, lease or conveyance and if the Warrant remains  unexercised,  such
successor,  leasing or  purchasing  corporation,  as the case may be,  shall (i)
execute  with the Holder an agreement  providing  that the Holder shall have the
right  thereafter to receive upon  exercise of this Warrant  solely the kind and
amount  of  shares  of  stock  and  other  securities,  property,  cash  or  any
combination thereof receivable upon such consolidation,  merger,  sale, lease or
conveyance  by a holder of the  number of shares of Common  Stock for which this
Warrant  might  have been  exercised  immediately  prior to such  consolidation,
merger  sale,  lease or  conveyance,  and (ii) make  effective  provision in its
certificate of incorporation or otherwise, if necessary, in order to effect such
agreement.  Such  agreement  shall provide for terms,  conditions  and features,
including but not limited to adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to those set forth in this instrument.

                  7. The Warrant  Shares  issued upon  exercise of the  Warrants
shall be  subject  to a stop  transfer  order and  certificate  or  certificates
evidencing such Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:

                                    "THE SHARES  REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
                           HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
                           1933.  SUCH  SHARES  MAY  NOT  BE  SOLD,  OFFERED  OR
                           TRANSFERRED,  HYPOTHECATED  OR OTHERWISE  ASSIGNED IN
                           THE ABSENCE OF AN  EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT
                           WITH RESPECT  THERETO UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF
                           COUNSEL REASONABLY  ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT AN
                           EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION FOR SUCH SALE,  TRANSFER,
                           HYPOTHECATION  OR OTHER ASSIGNMENT IS AVAILABLE UNDER
                           SUCH ACT."

                  The Company will provide piggyback registration rights on such
terms and  conditions  as to be set  forth in a  Registration  Rights  Agreement
mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Holder.

                  8 Upon receipt of evidence  satisfactory to the Company of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant (and upon surrender of any
Warrant  if  mutilated),  and upon  reimbursement  of the  Company's  reasonable
incidental expenses, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof
a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

                  9. The Holder of any Warrant shall not have, solely on account
of such status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company,  either at law or in
equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings
of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.

10. This Warrant shall be construed in accordance  with the laws of the State of
New York applicable to contracts made and performed  within such State,  without
regard to principles of conflicts of law.
