                       -----------------------------------

                  This   Prospectus   may   be   used   by   persons   ("Selling
Shareholders")  who have  received or will  receive  shares of Common Stock (par
value $.10 per share) (the "Common Stock") of Mediware Information Systems, Inc.
(the "Company" or "Mediware")  covered by this Prospectus in connection with (i)
the  exercise of warrants  and  options to  purchase  Common  Stock and (ii) the
purchase of such Common Stock in a private placement in June 1996.

                  Selling Shareholders may sell shares of Common Stock from time

Selling   Shareholders   and   broker-dealers   that  participate  with  Selling
Shareholders  in such sales of Common  Stock,  and any  brokers  or finders  who
receive  Common Stock as fees,  may be deemed to be "  underwriters"  within the
meaning of Section  2(11) of the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the  "Act"),  and any
commissions  or fees  received by them and any profit on the resale of shares of
Common Stock may be deemed to be underwriting compensation. The Company will not
receive any of the  proceeds  of the sale of shares of Common  Stock by any such
person.

                  The Company may agree to  indemnify  the Selling  Shareholders
and/or broker-dealers  against certain civil liabilities,  including liabilities
under the Act, and to reimburse them for certain expenses in connection with the
sale of Common Stock.

   
                  The outstanding shares of Common Stock are currently listed on
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "MEDW". The last reported sale price
on Nasdaq on March 17, 1997 was $3.625 per share.

                                  RISK FACTORS

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

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

   
         Working Capital Deficiency;  Restrictive Covenants.  In connection with
the Acquisition (described more fully herein, see "The Company" and "Description
of the  Business"),  the Company  issued a promissory  note to the seller of the
acquired  divisions,  which, as amended, is due August 1, 1997. As a result, the
Company has a working capital deficiency on December 31, 1996 of $2,994,000. The
Company will require  additional  sources of liquidity to fund the balance of up
to $4.6  million  due  August 1, 1997 on this  note,  as well as the  $1,179,000
balance  due on the  promissory  notes due August 1, 1997  which were  issued in
bridge financings. The promissory note issued in connection with the Acquisition
is  collateralized  by  all of the  issued  and  outstanding  capital  stock  of
Digimedics and JAC,  subsidiaries of the Company  engaged in its  pharmaceutical
information  business,  and all of the  assets of  Digimedics.  The note is also
guaranteed by the Company and  restricts  numerous  corporate  activities of the
Company. See "Description of Capital Stock".
    

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

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

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


                                        3

<PAGE>

   
has imposed new listing maintenance criteria based on net worth and tangible net
assets . The Company does not meet the new criteria;  however, The Pacific Stock
Exchange has granted the Company a phase-in  compliance  period until the end of
1997.  If the  Company  does  not  meet  the new  criteria  after  the  extended
compliance  period,  it is  subject  to being  delisted.  If such  listings  are
terminated,  the  liquidity  for the  Company's  common  stock will be  severely
impaired in the absence of the  development  of a meaningful  alternative to The
Nasdaq Stock Market.
    

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

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

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

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


                                        4

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                   THE COMPANY

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

         The Company was  incorporated in 1980. The Company's  headquarters  are
located at 1121 Walt Whitman Road,  Melville,  New York 11747,  telephone  (516)
423-7800.

HEMOCARE

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

PHARMACY DIVISION - DIGIMEDICS AND PHARMAKON

         In May of 1990, the Company acquired Digimedics Corporation, one of the
country's  leading  vendors  in  information  management  systems  for  hospital
pharmacies.  Digimedics had been developing and selling products and services to
hospital  pharmacies  since 1976. In the mid-1980's,  Digimedics  introduced the
first open systems version of a comprehensive  pharmacy  information  management
system. Digimedics Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Over
130 Digimedics systems have been installed at 121 hospitals (some hospitals have
separate systems for inpatient and outpatient pharmacies).

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

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

SURGIWARE

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

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

                           DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

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

Products

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

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

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

         PHARMACY  DIVISION -  DIGIMEDICS  AND  PHARMAKON - In May of 1990,  the
Company acquired Digimedics Corporation, one of the country's leading vendors in
information  management  systems for hospital  pharmacies.  Digimedics  had been
developing and selling products and services to hospital  pharmacies since 1976.



                                        9

<PAGE>

In the  mid-1980's,  Digimedics  introduced the first open systems  version of a
comprehensive pharmacy information management system.  Digimedics Corporation is
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

         The  benefits of  Digimedics  include (a)  potential  customer  savings
through the automation of drug formulary and perpetual inventory;  (b) potential
enhanced  revenues  through  more  accurate and complete  patient  billing;  (c)
improved  patient care by more accurate drug dispensing,  automatic  checking of
adverse  drug-drug  interactions and automatic  checking of previously  recorded
drug allergies;  and (d) interfacing  with other hospital  information  systems,
drug  wholesalers,  and  various  dispensing  machines,  such as  PYXIS  and the
automated Pharmacy System robotics devices.

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

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

Other WORx features will include:

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

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

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



                                       10

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

         SURGIWARE - In  September  of 1990,  the Company  licensed the right to
market and relicense the Surgiware system for use in surgical suites.  Surgiware
is  a  comprehensive  information  system  for  managing  the  human  resources,
facilities,  equipment and supplies  required for surgery.  The Surgiware system
integrates  clinical data capture,  inventory and equipment control  scheduling,
quality assurance and report writing. For example, the system contains a program
that  presents a  proprietary,  real time moving  schedule  on a color  graphics
display allowing the user to visually identify  potential  scheduling  conflicts



                                       11

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

Sales and Marketing

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

Software Support and Hardware Maintenance Services

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

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

Competition

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

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



                                       13

<PAGE>

with  greater  technical,  marketing,  financial  and other  resources  than the
Company, and have established  reputations for success in developing and selling
hospital information systems.

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

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

Copyright, Patents and Trade Secrets

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

Government Regulation

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


                                       14

<PAGE>

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

Miscellaneous

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

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

Employees

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

                                   PROPERTIES

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

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

Internal and External Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

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



                                       15

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 paid in the form of a promissory note issued
to Continental  bearing  interest at Citibank  N.A.'s base rate due November 30,
1996.  On October 28, 1996,  the  promissory  note was amended to provide for an
extension  of the due date to August  1,  1997.  The  amendment  provides  for a
payment of $1.0 million for principal  reduction and monthly payments thereafter
of $100,000 for  principal  and interest and an increase in the interest rate to
15% on approximately $3,763,000 of the note (with the original rate remaining on
$l,237,000).  At December 31, 1996, the  outstanding  balance of this liability,
$4.9 million  (after the $1.0 million  payment),  is classified  as current.  In
October 1996 the Company paid to Continental  the $1.0 million payment to reduce
outstanding  principal and made the monthly payments of $100,000 on November 30,
1996,  December 31, 1996 , January 31, 1997 and  February 28, 1997.  The Company
will require additional sources of liquidity to fund a net balance of up to $4.6
million of debt due August 1, 1997.
    

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

   
         The Company had a working capital  deficiency of $2,994,000 at December
31, 1996,  reflecting  the purchase money note due in August 1997 issued in June
1996 to Continental in partial payment for the Acquisition.

         During  fiscal year 1996 the  Company  repaid  $120,000 of  outstanding
bridge loans,  leaving a balance of  $1,179,000  due August 1, 1997. As noted in
the third  preceding  paragraph the Company will require  additional  sources of
liquidity to fund this balance  due. In May of 1996  certain  holders  exercised
warrants for 495,025 shares for a total of $247,512.

         The Company has acquired a credit  facility of $75,000 from its bank in
New York.  As of December 31, 1996,  the  facility  has $75,000  available.  The
Company currently is seeking additional sources of credit and equity in order to
fund the reduction of its obligations  under the above mentioned note.  However,
it cannot be assured at this time that it will be successful.  If the Company is
unable to obtain financing or extend the due date of the obligation,  such could
result in a materially adverse effect on the Company.

Material Changes in Results of Operations:  Six Months Ended  December
31, 1996 vs.  Six Months Ended  December 31, 1995:

         System Sales Revenue increased $377,000 or 12% for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 to $3,401,000 compared to $3,024,000 for the comparable period
a year  earlier.  $701,000 of this  increase was due to System Sales  Revenue of
Pharmakon and JAC .

         Service Revenues  increased by $3,632,000 or 182% to $5,630,000 for the
six months ended  December 31, 1996  compared to $1,998,000  for the  comparable
period in 1995. 86% of the increase is a result of Service Revenues  contributed
by Pharmakon  and JAC. The Hemocare  product  center  contributed  the remaining
revenue from increased software maintenance from new system implementations.

         Cost of Systems  increased by $321,000 to $1,088,000 or 42% for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 compared to $767,000 for the comparable period in
1995. This this increase was due to Systems Costs of Pharmakon and JAC.

         Cost of Services increased by $717,000 to $1,608,000 or 80% for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 compared to $891,000 for the same period in 1995.
The increase was  substantially  due to service costs from the Pharmakon and JAC
product centers.

         Software  Development  costs increased by $380,000 or 50% to $1,136,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the comparable  period

in  1995.   The  Pharmakon  product center and JAC were responsible for this 
increase .

         Selling,  General  and  Administrative  costs for the six months  ended
December 31, 1996  increased by  $1,810,000  or 92% to $3,780,000 as compared to
$1,970,000  for the same period in 1995.  The addition of the  Pharmakon and JAC
divisions  accounted for 61% of the increase  while  increased  commissions  and
employee incentive bonus expense from Hemocare and Digimedics  accounted for the
remainder of the increase.

         Interest  Expense  increased by $246,000 to $354,000 for the six months
ended  December  31, 1996 as  compared to $108,000  for the same period the year
before.  This increase was due to interest paid against the outstanding  note in
the acquisition of Pharmakon and JAC from Continental.

         Net earnings for the six months ended December 31, 1996 were $1,071,000
compared to $527,000 for the comparable period last year. The increased earnings
were due to profits produced by the Pharmakon and JAC product centers.
    

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

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

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

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

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


                                       18

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                       19

<PAGE>

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

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

         Selling,  General and Administrative  increased by $277,000,  or 7%, to
$4,136,000  in 1995 from  $3,859,000  in 1994.  The increase is due primarily to
increased  payroll  and  travel  expenses,  commissions,  professional  fees and
employee health insurance claims.

         The  Company  expensed  costs  of  $1,222,000  in  connection  with the
arbitration  in fiscal 1994.  Such costs  included  $208,000,  which the Company
intended to pay the licensor to retain exclusivity;  the balance was principally
legal fees and expenses in connection with the  arbitration.  During fiscal 1995
the  Company,  after review of the then  current  circumstances,  decided not to
elect to make the payments required to maintain  exclusivity.  Accordingly,  the
$208,000 accrued expense recorded in the prior year was eliminated, resulting in
increased income.

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

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

   
         In February 1997 the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued a new
accounting standard concerning earnings per share. This statement,  when adopted
for the year ending June 30, 1998),  will require all prior period  earnings per
share data to be restated,  and will exclude  dilution in the basic earnings per
share calculation.
    

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

   
         The Company is authorized to issue  12,000,000  shares of Common Stock,
par value $.10 per share, of which 4,945,179  shares of Common Stock were issued
and  outstanding as of December 31, 1996,  held of record by  approximately  246
persons.   The   Common   Stock   presently   outstanding   is  fully  paid  and
non-assessable.
    

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


                                       20

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

                      MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY

   
         The Company's  Common Stock is traded and quoted on The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market under the symbol MEDW.  Prior to August  1991,  there was no  established
trading  market for the Company's  Common Stock.  The table below  indicates the
high and low of quoted bid market prices as reported by Nasdaq for the Company's

         The Board of Directors of The Nasdaq Stock Market has announced changes
to its  maintenance  standards for listing which,  if approved by the SEC in the
form  proposed,  would  include a net  tangible  assets test which would  become
effective at the end of a phase-in period. The Company would not be able to meet
the proposed test without the infusion of significant  additional  capital.  The
Pacific Stock  Exchange,  on which the Common Stock also is listed,  has imposed
new listing  maintenance  criteria  based on net worth and tangible net assets .
The Company does not meet the new criteria;  however, The Pacific Stock Exchange
has granted the Company a phase-in  compliance  period until the end of 1997. If
the Company does not meet the new criteria after the extended compliance period,
it is subject to being delisted. If such listings are terminated,  the liquidity
for the Company's  Common Stock will be severely  impaired in the absence of the
development of a meaningful alternative to The Nasdaq Stock Market.

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

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

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

Compensation of Directors

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

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

and become  exercisable  in equal monthly  installments  during fiscal 1997. The
table entitled  "Share  Ownership by Principal  Shareholders,  Directors,  Named
Executive Officers and Directors and Executive Officers as a Group" in "Security
Ownership"  above is dated as of October 31,  1996 and does not reflect  options
vesting after December 1, 1996.
    

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

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

                                       30

sales.  Mr.  Esposito  and  Mr.   Mulstay's   agreements  have  non-compete  and
confidentiality covenants. All three agreements also provide for grants of stock
options  and for  three  months'  (two  months'  in the  case  of Mr.  Esposito)
severance pay in case of involuntary termination.

1982 Employee Stock Option Plan

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

1992 Equity Incentive Plan

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

Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors

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

                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

(b) the  average  weekly  trading  volume of the  Common  Stock  during the four
calendar  weeks  preceding  the sale as reported  by Nasdaq,  subject to certain
restrictions on the manner of sale, notice  requirements and public availability
of current  information.  The directors and officers of the Company,  who may be
deemed to be  affiliates  of the Company for purposes of Rule 144,  beneficially
own an aggregate of over 500,000 shares of Common Stock as to which the two-year
period under Rule 144 has been satisfied.

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

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

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

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



                                       32

<PAGE>

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

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

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

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

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

                  This  Prospectus may be used by the Selling  Shareholders  who
may wish to sell shares of Common Stock covered by this  Prospectus from time to
time, with the consent by the Company,  under circumstances  requiring or making
desirable its use. The Selling Shareholders comprise certain of the shareholders
who have received, or who will receive,  shares of the Common Stock as described
in the following two paragraphs.

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



                                       33

<PAGE>

Company  issued  options to  purchase  75,000  shares of Common  Stock to Joseph
Delario,  a director of the  Company.  See  "Certain  Transactions."  All of the
shares  issuable  upon  exercise  of such  options  are  also  included  in this
Registration Statement.

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

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

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

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

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

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



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


         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mediware
Information  Systems,  Inc. and subsidiaries as at June 30, 1996 and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the two-year  period ended June 30, 1996.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

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

         In our opinion,  the  financial  statements  enumerated  above  present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Mediware  Information  Systems,  Inc. and  subsidiaries at June 30, 1996 and the
results  of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year  period  ended June 30,  1996 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

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

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

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

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

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


         [1]      Cash equivalents:

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

         [2]      Revenue recognition:

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

         [3]      Long-term contract installments receivable:

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

         [4]      Inventories:

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

         [5]      Fixed assets:

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

         [6]      Software development costs:

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

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

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

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

         [8]      Advances from customers:

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

         [9]      Earnings (loss) per share:

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

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

         [10]     Use of estimates:

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

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

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


(NOTE B) - Acquisitions:

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

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

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

(NOTE E) - Notes Payable:

At June 30, 1996 the Company has outstanding notes payable as follows:


       Promissory note issued in connection  with the  acquisition  of Pharmakon
             and JAC (the  "Acquisition  Note")  (Note B)  bearing  interest  at
             Citibank  N.A.'s base rate 8.25% at June 30, 1996  payable  monthly

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

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

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

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

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

holders to purchase  shares of common  stock at an exercise  price not less than
the  fair  value  of the  common  stock  at the  date of  grant.  Up to  107,772
additional options may be issued under this plan.

                  The Company  also has options  outstanding  pursuant to a 1982

shares at $1.25 per share exercisable through September 30, 2004 (Note E).

         [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 net proceeds of approximately  $5,063,000 after expenses
totaling approximately $437,000 (of which approximately $65,000 was to a related
party).  The Company also issued 30,768 shares to related parties as a placement
fee valued at $100,000.

         [1]      Operating leases:

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

                                                              ==========

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

         [2]      Software license agreement:

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

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

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

         [2]      Software license agreement:  (continued)

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

         [3]      Release of common shares held in escrow:

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

         [4]      Other matters:

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


(NOTE I) - Income Taxes:

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

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

                                   (UNAUDITED)



1.    Financial Statements:

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

        The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1996 are
not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal
year.


2.    Earnings (Loss) Per Share:

        Earnings  per share are  computed on the basis of the  weighted  average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common share equivalents
relating to shares  issuable  upon  exercise of stock  options and  warrants are
included in the  computation  when the results are  dilutive.  In addition,  net
earnings  are  adjusted   under  the  modified   treasury   stock  method  where
appropriate.
    


3.    Income Taxes:

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

           CONTINTENTAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, INC. - PHARMAKON DIVISION

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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

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

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

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

                  Interest   expense  on   interdivisional   advances  has  been
excluded.

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

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

         [1]      Revenue recognition:

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

         [2]  Software development costs:

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

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

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

         [3]  Income taxes:

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

         [4]      Use of estimates:

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

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of
JAC Computer Services Limited

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  balance sheet and the related  statements of
operations  and  retained  earnings  and of cash flows  present  fairly,  in all
material  respects,  the financial  position of JAC Computer Services Limited (a
United  Kingdom  corporation)  at November 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
its  operations  and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.  These financial  statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management;  our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audits.  We conducted  our
audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

JAC Computer Services Limited (a United Kingdom corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 1995 and 1994
(Dollars in 000's)

1.       The Company and significant accounting policies

         JAC Computer  Services  Limited (JAC) is a hospital  pharmacy  software
         vendor which conducts business primarily in the United Kingdom.  JAC is
         an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of TBG Holdings NV (TBG).

         JAC is  headquartered  in the United Kingdom and transacts its business
         and  maintains  its  accounting   records  in  pounds   sterling.   The
         accompanying  financial statements have been presented in United States
         dollars as translated  as described  below for reporting its results to
         its United States parent which is also wholly-owned by TBG.

         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.

         Cash and cash equivalents
         Cash and cash  equivalents  include  all  balances  and  highly  liquid
         investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

         Properties, net
         Deprecation  and  amortization  are  computed  using the  straight-line
         method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets ranging
         from three to five years.

         Inventories
         Inventories,  which consist of components and various  computer  parts,
         are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using a
         first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

         Intangibles
         Intangibles  consist of unamortized  capitalized  software  development
         costs.  Software  development  costs are capitalized in accordance with
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 86,  "Accounting  for
         Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise  Marketed."
         Software  development costs will be amortized on a straight-line  basis
         over their  estimated  economic life,  commencing  when each product is
         available for general release.

         Goodwill
         Goodwill  represents  the excess of  consideration  paid for JAC in May
         1993 over the fair value of net assets acquired.  Goodwill amortization
         is computed over the estimated


                                      F-34

<PAGE>



         benefit life which is 15 years.  Accumulated  amortization  of goodwill
         was $165 and $100 at November 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         Translation of foreign currency
         Assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into U.S.  dollars
         at the exchange  rates in effect at the end of the period.  Revenue and
         expense accounts are translated at a weighted average of exchange rates
         which were in effect  during  the year.  Translation  adjustments  that
         arise from  translating  assets and liabilities  from local currency to
         U.S.  dollars are accumulated in a separate  component of stockholder's
         equity.  Transaction  gains and losses  that arise from  exchange  rate
         changes on  transactions  denominated  in a  currency  other than local
         currency are included in results of operations as incurred.

         Revenue recognition
         Revenue is  recognized  when the  software  products are shipped to the
         customer.  Revenue from  postcontract  support  (PCS)  arrangements  is
         deferred and recognized over the period of the PCS.

         Income taxes
         The Company  utilizes the  liability  method of  accounting  for income
         taxes. Under the liability method,  deferred taxes are determined based
         on the  difference  between the  financial  statement  and tax bases of
         assets and  liabilities  using enacted tax rates in effect in the years
         in which the  differences  are expected to reverse.  The Company's only
         significant  temporary  difference is the  intangible  assets  recorded
         related to capitalized  software.  The primary  difference  between the
         Company's  effective tax rate and the foreign  statutory tax rate (33%)
         is the effect of goodwill  amortization of $68. The Company paid income
         taxes of $74 and $11 during the years ended November 30, 1995 and 1994,
         respectively.

statements and notes thereto contained  elsewhere  herein.  The consolidated pro
forma  statements  of  operations  are not  necessarily  indicative  of what the
results of operations would have been had the transaction  occurred earlier, nor
do they purport to represent the future results of operations of Mediware.

                MEDIWARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSENSED CONSOLIDATED
                            STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS


The consolidated pro forma statement of operations  includes  historical results
of Pharmakon  and JAC for the six months  ended  November 30, 1995 and have been
recast  for the  twelve  months  ended  June 30,  1996  based  on the  following
adjustments and assumptions:
    

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

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

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

   
(d) To record  interest  expense on the $6,000,000  promissory  note,  issued in
connection  with the acquisition of Pharmakon and JAC, at 8.25%. In October 1996
the  promissory  note was amended to provide for an extension of the due date to
August 1, 1997. The extension  agreement provides for an immediate payment of $1
million  and monthly  payments  of  $100,000  for  principal  and  interest.  In
addition,  the interest  rate was increased to 15% on  approximately  $3,763,000
with the original rate  remaining  for  $1,237,000.  Interest  expense under the
extended loan agreement would be approximately $260,000 and $130,000 higher than
reflected in the June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 pro formas respectively.
    

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

   
(f) To  eliminate  income tax  expense for  Pharmakon  to give effect to the pro
forma  adjustments  above and the  reporting  of income  for tax  purposes  on a
consolidated  basis  which  will  reflect  the  utilization  of  Mediware's  net
operating loss  carryforwards.  Further, a reduction in the valuation  allowance
for a  deferred  tax  asset  has not been  recorded,  since  utilization  of net
operating loss carryforwards is uncertain.

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

                                     PART II

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

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

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

Item 26.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

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

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

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

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

Item 27.  Exhibits

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

Item 28.  Undertakings

         The small business issuer will:

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


                                      II-2

<PAGE>




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

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

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

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

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

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

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