RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second quarter total contract revenue grew 39% to $1,160,000 in fiscal 1997 from
$836,000 in fiscal 1996. For the six months ended January 31, 1997, total
contract revenue grew 47% to $2,218,000 from $1,511,000 in fiscal 1996. Revenue
from system sales was the main cause of this increase. Increased orders for the
Company's product generated in fiscal 1996 prompted the growth in system sales.
Gross Profit as a percentage of revenues decreased for both the three and six-
month periods ended January 31, 1997 as compared to the same periods of fiscal
1996 because of a non-recurring $75,000 software upgrade sale with little
associated direct costs in fiscal 1996 and because of significant increases in
total estimated costs on one system contract in fiscal 1997.
Second quarter total operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from
24% in second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 16% in second quarter of fiscal
1997. For the six-month period, total operating costs as a percentage of
revenues increased from 22% in the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to
25% in the first six months of fiscal 1997. Marketing costs increased primarily
from commissions to external representatives and travel expenses incurred.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily for salary expenses
incurred in anticipation of much higher revenue levels.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of January 31, 1997 the Company had positive net working capital of $632,000
compared to negative net working capital of $81,000 at July 31, 1996.
As further described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company raised
$1,081,260 of equity in November and December of 1996. Because of such
additional equity capital, management believes that the Company has the ability
to meet its cash requirements during fiscal year 1997. The Company's liquidity
position thereafter is dependent upon the outcome of further cash-generating
activities, such as raising additional debt or equity capital, or generating
revenues and cash receipts through system sales and scanning services to
supplement its backlog as of January 31, 1997 of $1.3 million. There is no
assurance that the Company can successfully complete any such activity, and the
failure to do so over approximately the next six months could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, SCMS is a "reporting issuer" within the meaning of Rule 902(1) of
Regulation S, 17 CFR Section 240.901 et seq. promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933 ("Regulation S") which files reports with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), and whose stock is traded on the NASDAQ Small Cap under the
symbol "SCMS".
WHEREAS, BERKSHIRE is acting as a "distributor" within the meaning of Rule
902(c) of Regulation S; and
WHEREAS, BERKSHIRE desires to assist SCMS in obtaining equity capital
pursuant to an offering conducted in compliance with Regulation S upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
I. WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
------------------------
1.01 BERKSHIRE shall use its "best efforts" to obtain subscriptions for
up to approximately $1,000,000 worth of SCMS Common Stock (the "Securities") in
an offering conducted pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S (the "Offering"). The
Offering will consist of approximately 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock offered
at a price of 30% below the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on
the day immediately prior to the execution of the attached Offshore Securities
Subscription Agreement by the Purchaser. Such subscriptions shall be in the form
of a Subscription Agreement (a copy of which is attached hereto) executed by a
prospective purchaser.
1.02 BERKSHIRE represents and warrants that all offers and sales of the
Securities shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of Rule 903 or
904 of Regulation S.
1.03 BERKSHIRE represents and warrants that all offers and sales of the
Securities will be made in an "offshore transaction," as defined in Rule 902(i)
of Regulation S.
1.04 BERKSHIRE represents and warrants that none of BERKSHIRE, any
affiliate of BERKSHIRE, or any person acting on behalf of any of them will
engage in any "directed selling efforts", as defined by Rule 902(b) of
Regulation S, in the United States with respect to the offer and sale of the
Securities.
<PAGE>
1.05 BERKSHIRE represents and warrants that any offering materials or
documents (except press releases) used in connection with offers and sales of
Securities shall include statements to the effect that the Securities have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and may
not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (other than
distributors as that term is defined under Rule 902(c) of Regulation S) unless
the Securities are registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. Such statements
shall appear on all materials as provided under Rule 902(h)(2)(i), (ii), and
(iii) of Regulation S.
1.06 BERKSHIRE represents and warrants that no offer or sale will be made
to, or for the account or benefit of, a "U.S. person," as defined by Rule 902(o)
of Regulation S. BERKSHIRE further warrants and represents to SCMS that, to the
best of its knowledge, no Purchaser of any Securities sold pursuant to this
Agreement has entered into or intends to enter into any short sales of SCMS
common stock in any U.S. trading market.
1.07 BERKSHIRES shall advise SCMS of legends or restriction required by
foreign countries, if any, pertaining to the Securities which SCMS shall cause
to be placed on the certificates representing the Securities; and BERKSHIRE
shall take all steps necessary to ensure that any offers and sales made pursuant
to this Agreement comply with the laws and regulations of all foreign regulatory
and/or self-regulatory authorities.
1.08 SCMS and BERKSHIRE agree that the certificates for any Securities
sold pursuant to this Agreement shall include the following restrictive legend:
"These shares have been issued pursuant to Regulation S as an
exemption to the registration provisions under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. These shares cannot be transferred, offered or sold in the U.S.
or to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) until after
__________________, 1996 (Forty-one days after issuance)."
1.09 SCMS shall maintain its status as a corporation in good standing and
as reporting issuer under the Exchange Act, operating in all material respects
in accordance with its most recent reports filed under the Exchange Act and
provided to BERKSHIRE.
1.10 BERKSHIRE acknowledges that it is not authorized to and will not give
any information or make any representation in connection with the offer or sale
of the Securities other than those which are contained in disclosure materials
approved by SCMS in advance. BERKSHIRE agrees that it is not an agent of SCMS
and that it is not authorized to and will not incur any obligation or enter into
any agreement on behalf of SCMS in any manner or respect.
1.11 SCMS shall promptly issue certificates representing the Securities
upon notice by Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) that the Subscription
Agreement has been executed by the Purchaser and accepted by SCMS.
