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


Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources
- - ----------------------------------

     In June of 1996, Digimedics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company,  purchased  the  Pharmakon  division  and JAC, a U.K. affiliate, from
Continental  Healthcare  Systems,  Inc.  ("Continental").   The total purchase
price,  net of acquisition costs, was approximately $9.7 million, $3.7 million
of  which  was  paid  in  cash  and  the  remaining  $6.0 million of which was
satisfied  pursuant to a promissory note issued to Continental, originally due
November  30,  1996.    On  October  28, 1996 the promissory note was amended,
providing  among other things, an extension of the due date to August 1, 1997.
The  promissory  note was further amended, effective July 21, 1997, to provide
for  a reduced principal amount to $4,196,000 and extended payment terms.  The
second  amendment requires quarterly principal payments of $150,000 commencing
October  31,  1997,  with  the balance due November 30, 1998, or earlier based
upon  a change in control or refinancing by the Company and a reduction in the
interest  rate to 8.5% payable monthly.  The Company will review the financing
needs  of  this  promissory  note  and general cash requirements on an ongoing
basis.    It  is  expected that the Company will require additional sources of
liquidity  to  fund  the  payment  of  this  promissory  note along with other
financing  needs  including  potential  acquisitions.

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

     To  finance  the  cash  portion  of  the  acquisition, the Company made a
private  placement of 1,692,308 shares of its Common Stock in June of 1996, at
a  price of $3.25 per share, for total proceeds before expenses of $5,500,000.
Total  expense  for  the  June  1996 private placement aggregate $568,000.  In
order  to  provide  for  general  cash needs, the Company completed in August,
1997,  a private placement of its securities.  The Company sold 400,000 shares
of its common Stock for $6.00 per share and issued warrants to purchase 40,000
shares of Common Stock at $6.00 per share (as part of its placement fee).  The
Company  has  agreed to register the shares sold in the private placement with
the  Securities  and Exchange Commission.  Total proceeds before expenses were
$2,400,000.  Expenses of the August 1997 private placement and registration of
the  securities  are  estimated  to  be  approximately  $310,000.

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

     In  order  to cover its cash needs during fiscal years 1994 and 1995, the
Company carried out financing programs under which it borrowed an aggregate of
$1,299,000  from  investors,  including  directors.   As part of the financing
package such investors received 1,040,025 warrants along with promissory notes
to purchase shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.50 per share and 129,695
warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share.  During fiscal year 1996, the company
repaid $120,000, leaving a balance of $1,179,000.  In May of 1996, some of the
investors  exercised 495,025 of the $0.50 warrants for a total of $247,512.50.
A  portion  of  these  funds  was  used  by the Company for the acquisition of
Pharmakon  and  JAC.    In  September  of  1997,  $325,000 of these $1,179,000
borrowings  balance was repaid to individuals whose Notes were not subordinate
to  the  continental promissory Note.  Effective September 15, 1997 these note
holders  agreed  to  reduce  the interest on this unpaid amount from 12% to 9%
leaving  the  unpaid  balance  of  $854,000 owing to two directors and another
person.

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

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

During the year ended June 30, 1997, because of billing errors that  were
undetected by supervisors, the Company did not timely invoice certain  service
revenues  that  it was legally entitled to bill.  The error was detected by an
internal  management  analysis  of  sales, and confirmed a thorough review of 
contract administration files. As a result, $181,935 of revenues, that had not
been  recorded  in  the  fiscal  quarters in which they had been earned, were 
originally recorded  in the 4th quarter.  The company has restated the amounts
originally reported to reflect the revenue in each of the quarters of the year
ended June 30, 1997 (see Note O to the financial statements). These adjustments
had  no impact on net earnings for the year ended June 30, 1997.   The Company
has also taken appropriate action to assure that it has not failed  to  record
other  billings  and  that  it  will not similarly experience this  problem in
the future.

  In addition, the Company, having acquired an entity in June 1996, discovered
that  the prior owners had not billed certain contractual software maintenance
revenues to some of its customers.  While the Company continued to provide the
contracted  maintenance  support to these customers, it chose not to bill such
revenues on a going forward  basis  until it had established that such billing
would be collectible. However, the Company actively began a program to support
its  ability  to  bill and collect the revenue for those maintenance contract,
and  during  the  quarter  ended  December  31, 1997, it achieved satisfactory
indications (i.e., it had established a sufficiently  credible  reputation for
service with the customers, had developed new  and  additional  products  upon
which  these  customers  now relied, and had specifically discussed and agreed
collection schedules for the billings with the customers) that revenue was now,
in fact, collectible. Accordingly, it recognized in that quarter the cumulative
effects of those events. It has now revised its prior quarterly information to
record  the  contract  revenues  (net  of  an  appropriate  reserve  for
uncollectibility) into the fiscal quarters  in  which  they should  have  been
earned, and  by  reversing the reserve in the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
has recognized the income effect of that event in that quarter (See Note  N to
the financial statements). These adjustments had no  impact  on  net  earnings
previously reported.


     Total  revenue  increased by $8,471,000 or 81% from $10,432,000 in fiscal
1996 to $18,903,000 in fiscal 1997.  The increase is primarily attributable to
the  Pharmakon  and  JAC  acquisition  ("Acquisition").    Pharmakon  and  JAC
contributed  $163,000  or  less  than  one month in revenue in fiscal 1996 and
$7,931,000  for  a  full  year  in  fiscal  1997.

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

     Service  revenues  increased 173% or $8,023,000 in fiscal 1997 vs. fiscal
1996.    Service  revenue  increases  in  fiscal  1997  vs.  fiscal  1996 were
principally  due  to  the  Pharmakon  and  JAC  Acquisition, which recorded an
increase  of  $6,407,000.    Included  in this increase is $384,000 in service
maintenance  revenue  related  to  a  change  in  billing policy (see note N).
Additionally, Hemocare service revenues increased by $1,018,000 in fiscal 1997
over  the prior year due largely to a focused marketing emphasis on increasing
service  revenues.

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


     Cost  of  services  include  salaries  of  client  service  personnel,
communications expenses, unreimbursed travel, and training expenses along with
related  office  and  other  direct  expenses.    Cost  of  Services increased
$1,510,000 or 108% in fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996.  As a percentage
of  service  revenue, cost of services decreased 7% from 30% in fiscal 1996 to
23%  in  fiscal  1997.    The  increase  in  expense is principally due to the
Acquisition.    Due  to the relatively fixed staffing and other expense within
cost  of  services, the increase in corresponding service revenues resulted in
higher  gross  margins.

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

     Selling,  general and administrative expenses include marketing and sales
salaries,  commissions, travel and advertising expenses.  Also included is bad
debt  expense;  legal,  accounting  and  professional fees; salaries and bonus
expenses  for  corporate,  divisional,  financial  and  administrative staffs;
utilities,  rent,  communications and other office expenses; and other related
direct  administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased  73%  or  $3,637,000 from $4,960,000 in fiscal 1996 to $8,597,000 in
fiscal 1997.  The Pharmakon and JAC acquisition accounted for the majority, or
$3,308,000,  of  this  increase.

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

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

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

INDEPENDENT  AUDITORS'  REPORT

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 of June 30, 1997 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, 1997.  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  as  of  June  30, 1997 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
each  of  the  years  in the two-year period ended June 30, 1997 in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

MEDIWARE  INFORMATION  SYSTEMS,  INC.  AND  SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES  TO  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS
JUNE  30,  1997


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.

 [1]          CASH  EQUIVALENTS:

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

 [2]          REVENUE  RECOGNITION:

Revenues  are  derived primarily from the sale of clinical information systems
along  with  related service activities.  Service activities generally include
installation,  training,  maintenance,  and support.  The Company also derives
revenue  from  the  sale  of  computer  hardware.

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

 [3]          INVENTORIES:

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

 [4]          FIXED  ASSETS:

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

 [5]          SOFTWARE  DEVELOPMENT  COSTS:

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

Costs  to  maintain  developed  programs  and other development costs incurred
prior  to achievement of technical feasibility are expensed as incurred.  Such
costs were $1,662,000 and $956,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.    Software  development  costs  reported  on  the  consolidated
statements  of  operations  include  amortization  (Note  D).

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

[6]          EXCESS  OF  COST  OVER  THE  FAIR  VALUE  OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED:

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

 [7]          ADVANCES  FROM  CUSTOMERS:

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

 [8]          INCOME  TAXES:

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

 [9]          EARNINGS  (LOSS)  PER  SHARE:

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

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

[10]          USE  OF  ESTIMATES:

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

[11]          IMPAIRMENT  OF  LONG-LIVED  ASSETS:

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

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

[12]          FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS:

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

[13]          STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION:

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

[14]          RECENTLY  ISSUED  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS:

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

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


NOTE  B  -  ACQUISITIONS

On  June  17,  1996,  Digimedics and Information Handling Services Group, Inc.
("IHS")  and its wholly owned subsidiary, Continental Healthcare Systems, Inc.
("Continental"),  entered  into an Asset Purchase Agreement whereby Digimedics
purchased  from Continental its Pharmakon division ("Pharmakon") on that date.
Also  on  June  17, 1996, Digimedics purchased from Holland America Investment
Corporation,  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  IHS,  all  of  the  issued and
outstanding capital stock of JAC, a United Kingdom corporation.  Pharmakon and
JAC  develop,  install  and  maintain  computerized  information  systems  for
hospital  pharmacies.   Digimedics paid an aggregate of $3,666,000 in cash and
issued  a  $6,000,000  secured promissory note (Note E) for both acquisitions.

NOTE  B  -  ACQUISITIONS      (CONTINUED)

Digimedics  also  incurred  acquisition  costs  of  $238,000 in cash (of which
approximately  $76,000  was  to  a related party see Note K) and issued 30,769
shares  of  common  stock  valued  at  $100,000  as  a fee to related parties.

The  purchase  price has been allocated to the assets acquired, including cash
of  $11,000,  and  liabilities  assumed based on their fair values as follows:

NOTE  E  -  NOTES  PAYABLE    (CONTINUED)

(1)     On October 28, 1996 the Acquisition Note was amended to provide for an
extension of the original due date to August 1, 1997.  The extension agreement
provided  for  an  immediate  payment  of  $1  million and monthly payments of
$100,000  for  principal  and  interest.    In addition, the interest rate was
increased  to  15%  on  approximately  $3,763,000  and  8.25% on the remaining
$1,237,000.    The  agreement  provided  for  the monthly payments to be first
applied  to  the  interest  on  the  $1,237,000  portion  of  the loan and the
remainder  applied to the interest, then principal, of the portion of the loan
which  bears  interest  at  15%.

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

(2)      Of these notes, $854,000 are subordinated to the Acquisition Note and
are  accordingly  classified  as  long-term  debt.    In  conjunction with the
issuance  of  these  notes  the  Company issued warrants to purchase 1,040,025
shares  of  common  stock for $0.50 per share and 129,695 shares for $1.25 per
share,  exercisable  through  September 30, 2004.  During May 1996, 495,025 of
the  $0.50  warrants  were  exercised.

NOTE  G  -  STOCKHOLDERS'  EQUITY    (CONTINUED)


[1]          STOCK  OPTIONS  AND  WARRANTS:    (CONTINUED)

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

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

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

[2]          PRIVATE  PLACEMENT:

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

[1]          OPERATING  LEASES:    (CONTINUED)

Certain  leases  provide  for  additional  payments  for real estate taxes and
insurance  and  contain  an  escalation  clause for increases in utilities and
services.    Rental  expense  for  the  years  ended  June  30,  1997 and 1996
aggregated  $442,000  and  $213,000,  respectively.

[2]          SOFTWARE  LICENSE  AGREEMENT:

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

[3]          CONTINGENCY:

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

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

NOTE  J  -  SERVICE  AGREEMENT

Concurrent  with  the  acquisition  of  Pharmakon,  Digimedics entered into an
agreement  with  Continental  to  perform  Continental's obligation to provide
certain  services  for  customers  of  Continental,  such  services to include
installation  of  systems,  customizing  systems, and providing hardware.  The
agreement also provides for Digimedics to assist Continental in the collection
of  certain  billed and unbilled accounts receivable, principally due from the
customers who will receive the above mentioned services.  Digimedics was to be
paid approximately $1,237,000 plus 30% of amounts collected for performing the
foregoing  services.

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


NOTE  K  -  RELATED  PARTY  TRANSACTIONS

During  the  years  ended  June  30,  1997 and 1996 approximately $183,000 and

referred  to  in  Note B and the private placement of the Company's securities
referred  to  in  Note  G.

NOTE  M  -  PRO  FORMA  BALANCE  SHEET  DATA  (UNAUDITED)


In August 1997 the Company completed a private placement of its securities and
issued  400,000  shares  of its common stock for $6.00 per share.  The Company
also  issued  warrants  to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock at $6.00 per
share  as a placement fee and agreed to file a registration statement with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission registering the private placement shares
within  30 days of the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended  June  30,  1997  and  to  use its best efforts to have the registration
statement  declared  and  maintained effective for a specified period of time.
Costs  of  the  private placement and the filing of the registration statement
are  estimated  to  be  $310,000.  The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to
this  private  placement  as  if  it  occurred  on  June  30,  1997.


NOTE  N          RESTATEMENT  OF  REVENUE  AND  EXPENSES

Subsequent  to  a  June  1996  acquisition,  the  Company recorded maintenance
revenue  on  contracts  with the acquired company's customers in a manner that
was  consistent  with  the  policies  followed  prior  to  the  acquisition.
Subsequent  to  the  acquisition, the Company's management discovered that the
acquired  company  had  not  consistently  billed certain contractual software
maintenance  revenues.    For  the quarter ended December 31, 1997 the Company
obtained  satisfactory  indications  (i.e.,  it had established a sufficiently
credible reputation for service with the customers who had not previously been
billed,  had  developed new and additional products upon which these customers
now  relied,  and  had  specifically  discussed  collection  schedules for the
billings  with  the customers) that such revenue was, in fact collectible, and
accordingly,  it  recognized  in  that  quarter  the cumulative effects of the
economic event.  After discussions with the accounting staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 29, 1998, the Company elected to restate the
financial  statements  of  periods  following  the  acquisition  to record the
revenues  and  corresponding  expenses  which  include provisions for doubtful
accounts  in  the  quarters  in  which  the  services  were  provided.    This
restatement,  which  has  no  effect on net income, increased both revenue and
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  by $384,000 from the amounts
previously  reported  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  1997.

NOTE  O          YEAR-END  ADJUSTMENTS AND RESTATEMENT OF QUARTERLY RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS  (UNAUDITED)

During  the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company detected and corrected an
error  with  respect  to its previous under billing for services under certain
software  maintenance contracts, and as a result, it recorded and billed those
revenues  for  that  quarter.   The Company is restating its previously issued
fiscal  1997  quarterly  financial  statements to reflect the revenues and the
related  expenses,  including  the  provision  for  doubtful  accounts, in the
quarters  in  which  the  revenues  ought  originally to have been billed.  In
addition,  the  Company  is  restating  its  fiscal  1997  quarterly financial
statements  to  reflect the adjustments resulting from the matter discussed in
Note  N  above.  These corrections, which have no effect on net income for the
year ended June 30, 1997, result in changing previously reported revenues, net
income  and  per  share  amounts  for the fiscal 1997 quarters as shown below:
