   Prospectus                                      Subject to Completion
January 31, 1997

 ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES, INC. (FORMERLY KNOWN AS 3NET SYSTEMS, INC.)
                         24,901,669 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
                              ($0.01 PAR VALUE)    

     Of  the  24,901,669  shares  of common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common
Stock") of Alternative Technology Resources,  Inc.  (the "Company"), 22,968,706
shares  are being offered by certain stockholder (the  "Selling  Stockholders")
and up to  1,004,463  shares are being offered by the Company to holders of the
Company's Preferred Stock,  Series D and to holders of outstanding warrants and
options  consisting of (i) 153,125  shares  of  common  stock  issuable  as  of
December 31, 1996, upon the conversion of the Company's Preferred Stock, Series
D; (ii) 5,000  shares  of  Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of a warrant
having an exercise price of  $15.00  per  share;  (iii) 40,000 shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of a warrant having an exercise price of $0.01
per share; (iv) 132,618 shares of Common Stock issuable  upon the exercise of a
warrant  having an exercise price of $30.00 per share; (v)  132,618  shares  of
Common Stock  issuable  upon the exercise of a warrant having an exercise price
of $50.00 per share; (vi)  4,306  shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon the
exercise  of  two  warrants having an exercise price of $25.00 per share; (vii)
516,796 shares of Common  Stock  issuable upon the exercise of a warrant having
an exercise price of $1.00 per share;  and (viii) 20,000 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of an option  having  an exercise price of $2.00 per
share.  See "Selling Stockholders"; "Use of Proceeds";  "Plan of Distribution";
and "Description of Securities."    

     The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale  of  shares by the
Selling  Stockholders,  or the shares to be issued upon the conversion  of  the
Preferred Stock, Series D.   The  Company  will,  however, receive the exercise
price of any of the warrants and options described  above  upon the exercise of
such warrants and options, which proceeds total $11,349,286  in  the aggregate,
before  deducting  expenses  payable  by  the  Company estimated to be $58,904.
However,  since  approximately  95%  of  the total shares  (and  99.9%  of  the
aggregate  proceeds)  subject  to outstanding  warrants  and  options  have  an
exercise price greater than the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock
as of the date of this Prospectus,  it  is  unlikely  that  such  warrants  and
options  will be exercised unless the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock increases  above  the  applicable exercise price.  Therefore, the Company
does  not expect to receive $11,348,886  of  proceeds  for  exercise  of  these
warrants  and  options since they are "out-of-the-money."  The Company's Common
Stock  quoted  on  the  OTC  Bulletin  Board  under  the  symbol  "ATEK".   See
"Description of  Securities."  On January 24, 1997, the average of the high and
low price of the Common  Stock  was  $0.625,  as  reported  on the OTC Bulletin
Board.        

     In  addition,  the Company is registering up to 928,500 shares  of  Common
Stock which may be issued  by the Company in exchange for debt or settlement of
existing liabilities.  The per  share  price  of  such  shares will depend on a
number  of  factors, including the fair market value of a share,  and  will  be
subject to negotiation.  See "Plan of Distribution."    

     THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.  THESE ARE
SPECULATIVE SECURITIES.   SEE  "RISK  FACTORS" COMMENCING ON PAGE 7 FOR CERTAIN
CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK.

     THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED  OR  DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND  EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  OR  ANY  STATE  SECURITIES COMMISSION  NOR  HAS  THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE  SECURITIES  COMMISSION  PASSED
UPON  THE  ACCURACY  OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.



              The date of this Prospectus is February __, 1997.

                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     THE  FOLLOWING  SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE  DETAILED
INFORMATION AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO,
APPEARING ELSEWHERE OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

                                  THE COMPANY

     Alternative Technology  Resources, Inc. (the "Company") [formerly known as
3Net  Systems,  Inc.] provides contract  computer  programming  and  consulting
services to an expanding  base  and  variety  of  industrial  customers.  These
services include:  (i) providing alternative programming resources  to domestic
customers  through  the  recruitment, training, transportation, and contractual
deployment of foreign information technology professionals, drawing prospective
contractors primarily from  selected areas within the former Soviet Union; (ii)
software development and implementation  services  for customers who desire new
applications  which  are  based  on personal computer ("PC")  network,  client-
server, and/or Internet technology  platforms;  and (iii) software and hardware
support  and  maintenance  services  for  customers who  license  and  use  the
Company's proprietary application system products.  These services are provided
by virtue of the Company's depth of knowledge  and  experience  in PC networks,
client-server     technologies,    object-oriented    technologies,    Internet
technologies,  system   integration,   laboratory   information   systems,  and
application systems development.

     Previously, the Company focused on the design, development, and  marketing
of  integrated  computer  application systems, with particular emphasis on  the
automation of medical/clinical/insurance  laboratories  through  its laboratory
information system ("LIS") products.  These products collect and validate  test
request  and  test  result  data,  interface  with  and respond to requests for
information  from  laboratory  instruments, organize data,  communicate  it  to
various  user  departments  of a hospital,  and  provide  quality  control  and
assurance functions.  During  the  second  half  of  fiscal  1996, however, the
Company   began   to   redirect   its   strategic   focus   away  from  product
development/sales of LIS products in order to concentrate its  resources on its
contract computer programming and consulting services businesses.

     This change in strategy was effected by the Company as a direct  result of
several critical factors.  First, the Company had been largely unsuccessful  in
selling  new customer licenses to its primary products.  Second, the markets in
which the  Company  sold  products  offered  the Company little opportunity for
significant  growth in sales and market share.   Third,  in  fiscal  1996,  the
Company recognized  that  contract  programming and consulting services offered
the greatest potential for profitability  and  improved  shareholder value.  By
focusing  its  operations  on  providing  contract programming  and  consulting
services,  the  Company has begun to generate  new  revenues  and  has  reduced
expenses, thus reducing  its  operating  losses.  Although the Company is still
experiencing  a  negative cash flow, these actions  substantially  reduced  the
Company's level of cash consumption in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995.

        The Company's  current operating growth strategy includes the expansion
of  its marketing efforts  of  contract  computer  programming  and  consulting
services  through strategic alliances and the development of new customers with
the expenditure  of  a  minimum  of resources.  During fiscal 1996, the Company
reduced its staff by 50% and lowered operating expenses by 64% when compared to
fiscal 1995; however, such cost-saving  moves  will  not be sufficient to allow
the  Company  to timely meet all of its obligations while  attempting  to  grow
revenues to a level necessary to generate cash from operations.  Therefore, the
Company is pursuing  additional  funds  through  private  equity  financings or
additional debt financings.  Although there can be no assurance that additional
financing  can  be  obtained,  or,  that  if  obtained, such financing will  be
sufficient to prevent the Company from having to  further materially reduce its
level of operations or be forced to seek protection  under  federal  bankruptcy
laws,  management  of  the  Company believes that sufficient financing will  be
available until operations can  be  funded  through  contract  programming  and
consulting services.  Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve a profitable
level of operations to fund growth and to meet its obligations when they become
due.  See "Risk Factors -- Need for Additional Capital".

                                  THE COMPANY

      Alternative Technology Resources, Inc. (the "Company") [formerly known as
3Net  Systems,  Inc.]  provides  contract  computer  programming and consulting
services  to  an  expanding  base and variety of industrial  customers.   These
services include:  (i) providing  alternative programming resources to domestic
customers through the recruitment,  training,  transportation,  and contractual
deployment of foreign information technology professionals, drawing prospective
contractors primarily from selected areas within the former Soviet  Union; (ii)
software  development and implementation services for customers who desire  new
applications  which  are  based  on  personal  computer ("PC") network, client-
server, and/or Internet technology platforms; and  (iii)  software and hardware
support  and  maintenance  services  for  customers  who license  and  use  the
Company's proprietary application system products.  These services are provided
by virtue of the Company's depth of knowledge and experience  in  PC  networks,
client-server     technologies,    object-oriented    technologies,    Internet
technologies,  system   integration,   laboratory   information   systems,  and
application systems development.    

      Previously, the Company focused on the design, development, and marketing
of  integrated  computer application systems, with particular emphasis  on  the
automation of medical/clinical/insurance laboratories through its LIS products.
These  products collect  and  validate  test  request  and  test  result  data,
interface  with  and  respond  to  requests  for  information  from  laboratory
instruments,  organize  data, communicate it to various user departments  of  a
hospital, and provide quality  control  and  assurance  functions.   During the
second  half  of  fiscal  1996,  however,  the  Company  began  to redirect its
strategic focus away from product development/sales in order to concentrate its
resources   on  its  contract  computer  programming  and  consulting  services
businesses.

      This change in strategy was effected by the Company as a direct result of
several critical  factors.  First, the Company had been largely unsuccessful in
selling new customer  licenses to its primary products.  Second, the markets in
which the Company sold  products  offered  the  Company  little opportunity for
significant  growth  in  sales  and market share.  Third, in fiscal  1996,  the
Company recognized that contract  programming  and  consulting services offered
the greatest potential for profitability and improved  shareholder  value.   By
focusing  its  operations  on  providing  contract  programming  and consulting
services,  the  Company  has  begun  to  generate  new revenues and has reduced
expenses, thus reducing its operating losses.  Although  the  Company  is still
experiencing  a  negative  cash  flow,  these actions substantially reduced the
Company's level of cash consumption in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995.

      The Company has incurred operating  losses  since  inception  which  have
resulted  in  an  accumulated  deficit  of $33,207,699 as of June 30, 1996.  In
addition,  at  June 30, 1996, the Company had  a  working  capital  deficit  of
$3,406,254 and a  stockholders'  deficit of $3,255,515.  At September 30, 1996,
the Company had an accumulated deficit  of  $33,415,669,  a net working capital
deficit  of $3,573,251, and a stockholders' deficit of $3,493,033.   In  fiscal
1993 and fiscal  1994,  the  Company  experienced  delays  in completion of its
products which resulted in an inability to timely install ordered  systems  and
an  inability  to  close  new  orders. In fiscal 1995, the Company succeeded in
receiving acceptance of its products  by  some of its customers; however, sales
momentum had been lost because of the extended delays.  During fiscal 1995, the
Company  wrote  off software development costs  and  purchased  software  costs
because  the  cost  reduction  strategies  employed  by  the  Company  included
reduction of sales and marketing staff and related activities.  In fiscal 1996,
the Company wrote  off  the remaining net book value of purchased software.  In
fiscal 1996, the closing of new orders continued to be impacted by this lack of
momentum and by the Company's financial status.  In order to reduce its losses,
the Company no longer markets its medical software and related products and has
taken steps to decrease expenses  and  generate  revenues by providing contract
programming  and  consulting  services  and by acting  as  an  intermediary  in
providing such services.

      The Company's current operating growth strategy includes the expansion of
its marketing efforts through strategic alliances  and  the  development of new
customers with the expenditure of a minimum of resources.  During  fiscal 1996,
the Company reduced its staff by 50% and lowered operating expenses by 64% when
compared to fiscal 1995; however, such cost-saving moves will not be sufficient
to allow the Company to timely meet all of its obligations while attempting  to
grow   revenues  to  a  level  necessary  to  generate  cash  from  operations.
Therefore,  the  Company  is  pursuing  additional funds through private equity
financings or additional debt financings.   Although there can be no assurances
that additional financing can be obtained, or, that if obtained, such financing
will be sufficient to prevent the Company from  having  to  further  materially

<PAGE>6

reduce  its  level  of  operations  or seek protection under federal bankruptcy
laws, management of the Company believes  that  sufficient  financing  will  be
available  until  operations  can  be  funded  through contract programming and
consulting services.  Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve a profitable
level of operations to fund growth and to meet its obligations when they become
due.  See "Risk Factors -- Need for Additional Capital."    

      Alternative Technology Resources, Inc. was  incorporated in California in
August 1989 as 3Net Systems, Inc.  It effected a reincorporation in Delaware on
April 9, 1992, through a merger with a wholly owned  Delaware  subsidiary.  The
Company's principal executive offices are located at 629 J Street,  Sacramento,
California 95814, and its telephone number is (916) 498-3900.

                                 RISK FACTORS

      In  addition  to the other information presented in this Prospectus,  the
following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company
and its business before purchasing the Common Stock offered hereby.  The shares
of Common Stock offered  under  this  Prospectus  are speculative in nature and
involve a high degree of risk.  Prospective investors should carefully consider
the following factors, among others, before purchasing  the  shares  of  Common
Stock offered hereby.

LACK OF PROFITABILITY AND HISTORY OF SIGNIFICANT LOSSES

      The  Company  has  experienced  losses since its inception.  Net loss for
fiscal 1995 was $7,525,367; net loss for  fiscal  1996 was $1,847,8121; and net
loss for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $207,970.   As  a  result  of the
Company's recurring losses from operations and its working capital deficit, the
report  of  the  independent  auditors  of the Company for fiscal 1996 and 1995
indicates there is substantial doubt about   the  Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL

      Since  its inception, the Company has used a combination  of  equity  and
debt financing and internal cash flow to fund research and development, support
operations, obtain  capital  equipment,  and  finance  inventory  and  accounts
receivable.   The  Company  expects  to  continue  to be a net user of cash for
operations in the near future.  In fiscal 1996 the Company  used  an average of
approximately  $53,000 per month of cash for operating activities, as  compared
with an average  of  approximately $337,000 per month of cash for operating and
investing activities in  fiscal  1995.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the
Company  used  an  average of approximately  $52,000  per  month  of  cash  for
operating activities,  as compared with an average of approximately $22,000 per
month in the first quarter  of  fiscal 1996.  The Company believes that it will
continue to be a net user of cash for operations during fiscal 1997 as a direct
result of attempting to grow its  contract  computer programming and consulting
services.  During fiscal 1996 and the first 2  quarters  of   fiscal  1997, the
Company  has  received  short-term  financing  in the form of notes payable  of
approximately  $1.2  million  from  two stockholders,  James  W.  Cameron,  Jr.
("Cameron") and Max Negri ("Negri"),  to fund its operations.  The Company must
obtain additional funds during fiscal 1997  in  order  to  meet its obligations
while  attempting to grow revenues to a level necessary to generate  cash  from
operations.   Although  the  Company has not entered into any written agreement
with Cameron or Negri, management believes, based on discussions with these two
individuals, that these two stockholders will continue to finance the Company's
operations during fiscal 1997.   In  December  1996, Cameron and Negri extended
the  maturity date on notes payable totaling approximately  $1.2  million  from
December  31,  1996,  to  the earlier of December 31, 1997, or such time as the
Company obtains equity financing.   In  addition,  the Company has a $1,000,000
line of credit with Bank of America, NT&SA (the "Bank")  (see  "Risk Factors --
Security  Interest  in  the  Company's  Assets;  Default on Revolving  Line  of
Credit") which has matured but was verbally extended  by  the  Bank  until such
time as Cameron can conclude negotiations with the Bank to become the  borrower
under  the  line of credit.  Cameron is a guarantor of this $1,000,000 line  of
credit and is  currently  negotiating  with  the Bank to assume the debt.  When
Cameron becomes the named borrower under the line  of  credit, the Company will
enter into a note payable to Cameron for the $1,000,000.   Terms  of  that note
are expected to provide for the same monthly interest payments as with the Bank
and  have a maturity date of the earlier of December 31, 1997, or such time  as

<PAGE>7

the Company  obtains  equity financing.  See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions -- Financing  Arrangements."  Management believes that Cameron and
Negri will continue to fund  operations  and  extend  the maturity dates of the
various  notes  payable  until such time as the Company can  repay  the  notes.
However, there can be no assurance that events may arise which may affect these
stockholders' ability to finance the Company or that the Company may experience
significant and unanticipated  cash  flow  problems  which  may cause these two
stockholders   to  reconsider  their  investment.   Further,  if  the   Company
experiences significant  cash  flow  problems,  the  Company may be required to
reduce  the  level  of  its  operating  activities  or be forced  into  seeking
protection under federal bankruptcy laws.    

      In  addition,  the  Company  is  contractually  obligated   to   register
23,778,169  shares of Common Stock held by Selling Stockholders which may  have
an adverse effect  on the ability of the Company to raise additional financing.
The Company sold the  Common  Stock  to  the Selling Stockholders in connection
with raising capital.  As an inducement to  investors  to  purchase  the Common
Stock,  the  Company  contractually obligated itself to register the shares  of
Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders in this registration statement.

INVOLVEMENT IN SUBSTANTIAL LITIGATION

      The Company has been  involved  in several significant litigation matters
in  each  of  the  past  three  years,  and several  entities  have  threatened
litigation against the Company.  No assurances  can  be  given that the Company
will not be found liable in one or more of these pending litigation matters, or
that  additional legal proceedings will not be initiated against  the  Company.
In addition,  involvement  in litigation will require the Company to spend time
and pay expenses to defend itself,  which  will  have  an adverse effect on the
Company's financial operations.  See "Business" and "Legal Proceedings."

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY OF CONTRACT PROGRAMMING SERVICE AND INEXPERIENCE

      The  Company initiated its contract computer programming  and  consulting
service in May  1995,  and the Company made such service the principal focus of
its business operations  beginning  in August 1996.  Therefore, the Company has
only a limited operating history in connection  with  its  contract programming
service  upon  which  prospective  investors  may predict the Company's  likely
future performance.  Future operating results will  depend  upon  many factors,
including  fluctuations  in  the economy, the degree and nature of competition,
demand for the Company's services,  and  the  Company's  ability to recruit and
place  temporary  professionals, to expand into new markets,  and  to  maintain
margins in the face of pricing pressures.

      In addition,  the  management  of  the  Company has limited experience in
operating a contract placement and consulting service.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

      The Company currently has placement contracts  with  only three companies
for  providing  alternative programming resources.  For the fiscal  year  ended
June 30, 1996, these  companies accounted for $638,733 (36%) of total revenues,
and for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, they accounted for $312,348 (69%)
of total revenues.  No  assurance can be given that the Company will be able to
contract with additional  companies  for  the  provision  of temporary staffing
services,  or  that the companies with whom the Company already  has  contracts
will renew their contracts at the end of their terms.

   CONCENTRATION OF STOCK OWNERSHIP

      Mr. James W. Cameron, Jr. currently owns or controls 20,055,961 shares of
Common Stock and  holds  approximately  78.50% of the total voting power of the
Company's capital stock.  Because of his ownership interest in the Company, Mr.
Cameron will have a substantial influence over the policies of the Company.  In
addition, Mr. Cameron has registered 19,363,935 shares of his Common Stock as a
Selling Shareholder and may sell all, some,  or  none  of  such  shares.   Such

<PAGE>8

action  may  adversely  affect  the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
Mr. Cameron, however, has indicated  that  he  has no present intention to sell
all of his shares of Common Stock.  In the event  that Mr. Cameron sells all or
a large portion of his shares of Common Stock, this  may have a negative effect
on the market price of the Company's Common Stock.    

      The present directors, executive officers, and stockholders  owning  more
than  5%  of  the  outstanding  Common  Stock  and  their respective affiliates
beneficially own approximately 91.0% of the outstanding  Common  Stock  of  the
Company.   As  a  result of their ownership, the directors, executive officers,
and more than 5% stockholders and their respective affiliates collectively have
substantial control  of  all  matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the election of directors and approval  of  significant corporate transactions.
Such  concentration  of  ownership may also have  the  effect  of  delaying  or
preventing a change in control  of  the  Company.  See "Principal Stockholders"
and "Description of Securities."    

LIABILITIES FOR CLIENT AND EMPLOYEE ACTIONS

      Temporary  service  providers  are  in  the  business  of  placing  their
employees  in  the  work  place of other businesses.   Representatives  of  the
Company cannot monitor or control  the  work  environment  at  distant customer
locations on a day-to-day basis.  Therefore, there is a potential risk relating
to  possible  claims  by the Company's contract employees that they  have  been
discriminated against and/or  harassed by the customer's employees, or that the
Company's  contract  employees  have  discriminated  against  or  harassed  the
customer's  employees.   The  Company   has   non-discrimination  and  unlawful
harassment policies and guidelines in place to  reduce  its  exposure  to these
risks,  and  Company  representatives  regularly  communicate with its contract
employees  and with the customer supervisor of the employees  to  evaluate  the
quality of the  work  environment.  However, a failure to follow these policies
and guidelines may result  in negative publicity and the payment by the Company
of monetary damages or fines.   Although  as  of  the  date of this filing, the
Company has not experienced any such claims, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not experience such problems in the future.       

      The Company is also exposed to liability with respect to actions taken by
its employees while on assignment, such as damages caused  by  employee errors,
misuse  of  client  proprietary  information, or theft of client property.   To
reduce such exposures, the Company  requires all employees to sign an agreement
containing confidentiality and non-disclosure  clauses  and maintains insurance
policies  covering  general  liability  with  a $2,000,000 limit  and  workers'
compensation coverage with a $1,000,000 limit.   See  "Business  -- Insurance."
Due  to  the  nature of the Company's assignments, access to client information
systems and confidential  information, and the potential liability with respect
thereto, there can be no assurance  that insurance coverage will continue to be
available or that it will be adequate to cover any such liability.    

PRODUCT LIABILITY

      The  Company  does  not  currently  have  product  errors  and  omissions
insurance.  A defect in the design  or  configuration of the Company's products
or in the failure of a system to perform  the  use  which the Company specifies
for systems currently at customer locations may subject  the  Company to claims
of  liability.   Although  as of the date of this filing, the Company  has  not
experienced any such claims,  there  can  be  no assurance that claims will not
arise in the future.

RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

      The Company is highly dependent on its management.   The Company believes
that its continued success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts
and abilities of its President, George Van Derven.  The loss of the services of
Mr. Van Derven could have a material adverse effect upon the Company.    

<PAGE>9

   INCREASES IN UNEMPLOYMENT TAXES AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION RATES    

      The Company is required to pay unemployment tax and workers' compensation
benefits   for  its  temporary  employees.   Unemployment  taxes  and   workers
compensation  rates  could increase, resulting in increased operating costs for
the Company.

HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET

      The  temporary services  industry  is  highly  competitive  with  limited
barriers to  entry.   The  Company  competes  in  national, regional, and local
markets  with  full  service agencies and with specialized  temporary  services
agencies.  Several competitors  of  the  Company are substantially larger, have
greater  marketing  and  financial  resources  than  the  Company,  and  expend
considerably larger sums of capital than does the Company.  The Company expects
that the level of competition will remain high in the future.  See "Business --
Competition."

FLUCTUATIONS  IN  THE  GENERAL ECONOMY AFFECT  DEMAND  FOR  TEMPORARY  STAFFING
SERVICES

      Demand for temporary  staffing  services is significantly affected by the
general  level  of  economic  activity.   When   economic  activity  increases,
temporary  employees  are  often added before full-time  employees  are  hired.
Similarly, as economic activity  slows,  many  companies  reduce their usage of
temporary   employees  before  undertaking  layoffs  of  full-time   employees.
Further, in an  economic  downturn,  the Company may face pricing pressure from
its customers and increased competition  from  other  staffing  companies which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY

      The  Company's  Common  Stock  is  quoted and traded on the OTC  Bulletin
Board.   The  market  price of the Common Stock  in  the  past  has  fluctuated
substantially.  In the  future,  the  market  price  of  the Common Stock could
fluctuate  substantially  due  to  a  variety  of factors, including  quarterly
operating results of the Company or other companies  in  the  same  or  similar
industry,  changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets,
or the staffing  services  industry,  or other events or developments affecting
the Company or its competitors.  These  broad  market and industry fluctuations
may  adversely  affect  the  trading  price  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock,
regardless of the Company's operating performance.  Moreover,  in  some  future
quarter  the  Company's  operating  results  may fall below the expectations of
securities analysts and investors.

DEPENDENCE ON PROGRAMMERS FROM THE FORMER SOVIET UNION

      The Company plans to recruit substantially  all of its temporary computer
programming  professionals  from countries within the  borders  of  the  former
Soviet  Union.   Political  instability  in  these  regions  could  affect  the
Company's  ability  to  recruit  additional  professionals  or  to  retain  the
professionals already in the United States on work visas.

   WORK VISA LAWS AND REGULATIONS    

      The Company's computer  programming  professionals  are admitted into the
United States on work visas.  The laws and regulations relating  to  work visas
specify a maximum number of professionals that may be admitted into the  United
States  in  any  one  year.  An increase in the number of foreign professionals
seeking admission into  the United States on work visas, or changes in the laws
and regulations of the United  States  relating  to work visas, could adversely
affect the Company's ability to recruit and to facilitate  the  immigration  of
additional  professionals  or to retain the professionals already in the United
States on work visas.

SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COMPANY'S ASSETS; DEFAULT ON REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

      Bank of America, NT&SA,  holds  a  security interest in substantially all
assets  of  the  Company,  including  the Company's  accounts  receivable.   In
February 1994, the Company entered into  a  revolving  line  of credit with the

<PAGE>10

Bank in the amount of $2,000,000 with a maturity date of August 1, 1994.  Since
July  1994,  the maturity date of the line of credit has been extended  several
times, and in  March  1995  the  Bank agreed to extend the maturity date of the
line of credit, but reduced the line  of  credit  to $1,000,000.  After several
extensions, the maturity date of the line of credit  was  verbally  extended by
the  Bank  from  January  1,  1997,  until  such  time  as Cameron can conclude
negotiations  with  the  Bank to become the named borrower under  the  line  of
credit.  See "Risk Factors -- Need For Additional Capital."  The line of credit
is fully utilized at $1,000,000.   The  Company's obligations under the line of
credit  have  been  guaranteed  by  James  W.  Cameron,  Jr.  (the  "Continuing
Guaranty") (see "Certain Relationships and Related  Transactions  --  Financing
Arrangements");  and the line of credit is secured by substantially all  assets
of the Company.  Interest under the line of credit is payable monthly at a rate
of 1% in excess of  the Bank's Reference Rate.  Among other covenants, the line
of credit prohibits the Company from incurring additional debt (other than that
to the Bank) without  the  Bank's written consent.  The Company is in technical
default under the terms of the  line  of credit because of additional borrowing
from  two  stockholders, Cameron and Negri  (see  "Risk  Factors  --  Need  for
Additional  Capital"),   borrowing   of   approximately   $15,000  to  purchase
automobiles and financing approximately $19,000 related to royalty payments due
St.  Agnes  Hospital.   There can be no assurance that the Bank  will  conclude
negotiations making Cameron  the  borrower  under  the  line of credit.  In the
event  negotiations are not satisfactorily concluded between  Cameron  and  the
Bank, the  Bank   may  enforce its security interest in the Company's assets or
seek payment from the guarantor.     

   NECESSITY TO MAINTAIN CURRENT PROSPECTUS    

      The share of Common Stock offered by the Company and Selling Stockholders
have been registered with  the  Commission.  The Company will be required, from
time to time, to file post-effective  amendments  to its registration statement
in order to maintain a current prospectus covering  the issuance of such shares
upon  the  exercise of the warrants or the offer by the  Selling  Stockholders.
The Company  has  undertaken  to  make such filings and use its best efforts to
cause such post-effective amendments  to become effective.  If for any reason a
required post-effective amendment is not  filed,  does not become effective, or
is not maintained, Warrant and option holders will  be prevented from receiving
registered shares and the Selling Stockholders may be  prevented  from offering
their shares.    

   PENNY STOCK REGULATION    

      The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in
connection  with  transactions  in "penny stocks."  Penny stocks generally  are
equity  securities with a price of  less  than  $5.00  (other  than  securities
registered  on  certain  national  securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ
system, provided that current price  and  volume  information  with  respect to
transactions  in  such securities is provided by the exchange or system).   The
penny stock rules require  a  broker-dealer,  prior to a transaction in a penny
stock  not  otherwise  exempt from the rules, to deliver  a  standardized  risk
disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature
and level of risks in the  penny  stock  market.   The  broker-dealer also must
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock,
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson  in  the transaction,
and  monthly  account statements showing the market value of each  penny  stock
held in the customer's  account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-
dealer and salesperson compensation  information, must be given to the customer
orally or in writing prior to effecting  the  transaction  and must be given to
the  customer  in  writing  before  or  with  the customer's confirmation.   In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior  to a transaction in a penny
stock  not  otherwise  exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer  must  make  a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure requirements  may  have  the  effect  of reducing the level of
trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that  becomes  subject  to
the  penny  stock rules.  Because of the current trading price of the Company's
Common Stock,  the  Common  Stock  will  be  subject  to penny stock regulation
rules.    

                                  USE OF PROCEEDS

      If  the  Warrants  and  Options to purchase shares of  Common  Stock  are
exercised, the Company would receive  $11,349,286  before deducting expenses of
approximately $58,861 related to this Offering.  As  of  January  24, 1997, the
average high and low price of a share of Common Stock was $0.625 (giving effect
for the one-for-ten consolidation of shares).  Approximately 95% of  the  total
shares  (and  99.9%  of the aggregate proceeds) related to outstanding warrants

<PAGE>11

and options have an exercise  price  greater  than the fair market value of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of this Prospectus,  and  such  warrants and
options  are  unlikely  to  be  exercised  unless the fair market value of  the
Company's  Common  Stock  increases  above  the  applicable   exercise   price.
Therefore,  the Company does not expect to receive $11,348,886 of proceeds  for
exercise of these  warrants and options since they are "out-of-the-money."  Any
funds received by the  Company  will be used to retire outstanding indebtedness
and for working capital.     

      The Company will not receive  any proceeds from the sale of shares by the
Selling Shareholders, or the shares to be issued upon the conversion of the
Preferred Stock, Series D.

                                  DIVIDEND POLICY

      The  Company  has  not  declared or paid any  cash  dividends  since  its
inception.  The Company currently  intends  to  retain future earnings, if any,
for use in the operation and expansion of the business.   The  Company does not
intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      The  Company intends to offer up to 1,004,463 shares of Common  Stock  to
holders of outstanding  warrants  and  options, and holders of Preferred Stock,
Series D.

      In addition, the Company is registering  928,500  shares  of Common Stock
which  may  be  issued  by the Company from time to time to satisfy liabilities
accrued in its financial  statements  which  total approximately $700,000.  The
price per share and the number of shares the Company  actually  issues, if any,
will  depend  upon  the Company's ability to negotiate satisfactory  settlement
agreements with its creditors.   See  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  --  Liquidity  and  Capital
Resources."    


           MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

      The Company Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin  Board  under  the
symbol  "ATEK".   Effective December 2, 1996, the Company changed its name from
3Net  Systems, Inc.,  to  Alternative  Technology  Resources,  Inc.   Prior  to
December  2,  1996,  the  Company's  Common  Stock  was traded under the symbol
"TNET."  The Company's shares were de-listed by NASDAQ  on August 16, 1995, due
to the Company's failure to maintain a closing inside bid  price  of its Common
Stock  at  or  above  $1.00 per share.  The Company's shares have continued  to
trade on the OTC Bulletin  Board since August 16, 1995.  The loss of listing on
the NASDAQ SmallCap Market has  resulted  in  transactions  in the Common Stock
becoming  subject to the "penny stock" disclosure requirements  of  Rule  15g-9
under the Exchange  Act  and  reduced  liquidity  in the trading market for the
Common Stock.

      Set forth below are the high ask and low bids for the Common Stock of the
Company for the past two fiscal years and the first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997.
The prices have been adjusted to give effect to a one-for-ten share 
consolidation effective on December 2, 1996.  The quotations are derived either
from the IDD Information Services, Tradeline  Database or the National

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

RESULTS OF OPERATION

     The following discussion and analysis  should  be  read in connection with
the Company's Financial Statements and the notes thereto  and  other  financial
information included elsewhere in the Prospectus.

OVERVIEW

     Alternative  Technology  Resources,  Inc. (formerly known as 3Net Systems,
Inc.) provides contract computer programming  and  consulting services and acts
as an intermediary in providing such services.  During  fiscal  years  1995 and
1996,  the  Company  developed  and  implemented  a program whereby the Company
recruits qualified personnel primarily from the former  Soviet  Union,  obtains
necessary  visas,  and  places  them  for assignment in the United States.  The
Company has chosen to emphasize this program  because of the significant growth
dynamics  of  the  high  technology temporary placement  industry  and  to  de-
emphasize the laboratory software  and  service  business  upon  which  it  was
originally founded in 1989.    

     The  Company  was founded in 1989 to focus on the design, development, and
sale of integrated computer  network  systems  primarily  for use by hospitals,
commercial  and  insurance  laboratories  and physician clinics.   The  Company
effected a public Common Stock offering in August 1992.  Fiscal 1993 and fiscal
1994 operating results were adversely affected  by  significant  delays  by the
Company  in  finishing  development and implementation of its LIS systems.  The
delays resulted in significant  losses  and  severe  liquidity  problems.  Cost
cutting  required  by  the  negative cash flow resulted in additional  software
development and implementation  delays.  As a result, the Company recognized no
material revenue in fiscal 1993 or  fiscal  1994 and significant losses in both
of those years.  The Company received acceptance of LIS at one customer site in
fiscal 1995; but the Company had lost sales momentum  due to the earlier delays
and now no longer devotes any dedicated resources to the  marketing  or selling
of  this  product.   The  Company  successfully installed four of its automatic
timekeeping  ("TimeNet")  systems  in  fiscal   1995;  however,  the  Company's
continuing lack of financial strength negatively affected the Company's ability
to close new TimeNet business in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996.  In January 1996,
the  Company  decided  to  no  longer  devote any dedicated  resources  to  the
marketing  or  selling  of TimeNet.  The Company  has  also  suspended  further
development of the product  and  is  no  longer  providing  service  support on
TimeNet systems that have been sold.  During fiscal 1996, the Company wrote off
TimeNet purchased software with a net book value of $45,000.

     The  Company's  inability to close new business in fiscal 1995 and  fiscal
1996 and the resulting  lack  of  revenues  caused  the  Company  to  recognize
significant  losses  in  fiscal  1995 and fiscal 1996.  In order to reduce  its
losses, the Company has taken steps to reduce expenses and generate revenues by
focusing  its  operations  on providing  contract  programming  and  consulting
services, and acting as an intermediary  in  providing  such  services.   These
actions  have substantially reduced the Company's level of cash consumption  in
fiscal 1996  as compared to fiscal 1995.  However, the Company did not generate
sufficient cash flow in fiscal 1996 to support its operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

REVENUES

     Revenues  increased  $85,485  or  23.2% in the quarter ended September 30,
1996, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The higher level of
revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 1997  compared to fiscal 1996 was due to
management's decision that the Company's long-term  prospects  were best served
by concentrating existing resources on providing contract computer programming 
and consulting services in the high technology temporary placement industry.  
The following is an analysis of the Company's revenues by category:

     CONTRACT  PROGRAMMING  REVENUE.   Contract programming revenue  (sales  of
custom  programming  and  software  development  services,  and  acting  as  an
intermediary in providing such services)  for  the  quarter ended September 30,

<PAGE>15

1996, increased $115,276 or 46.9% over the same period of the previous year.  A
$176,100  increase  resulted  from  agreements to provide  additional  contract
programming personnel to two customers.   This increase was primarily offset by
a  decrease  in  providing  contract  system enhancements  programming  for  an
existing LIS customer.

     SERVICE REVENUE.  Service revenue (sales of annually renewable maintenance
contracts  for software support and hardware  services)  decreased  $15,700  or
14.3% in the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to the comparable
quarter in fiscal 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily  from several service
customers replacing their Cortex LIS systems with systems of competitors during
fiscal 1996 causing a general decline in service revenues.  The Company expects
service  revenue to decrease over time as more Cortex LIS customers  choose  to
move to systems  of competitors since the company is not enhancing this system.
Also, the Company is no longer providing service to TimeNet customers.

     SYSTEM SALES.   No  product  sales  were  recorded in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 and none are expected to be recorded  during  fiscal 1997 since the
Company no longer devotes any dedicated resources to marketing  or  selling its
LIS  or TimeNet products.  System sales revenues recorded in the first  quarter
of fiscal  1996  were  primarily  enhancements  to existing systems at customer
sites.

COST OF REVENUES

     CONTRACT PROGRAMMING REVENUE.  The gross margin  on  contract  programming
revenue was 4.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared to 38.1% in
the  same  quarter  of  fiscal 1996.  This decrease is due to generating  lower
revenues providing contract  system  enhancements  for an existing LIS customer
and due to start-up costs related to recruitment and placement of 9 programmers
from the former Soviet Union at two U.S. sites.  In  addition,  in fiscal 1997,
technical staff whose costs were assigned to research & development  in  fiscal
1996  are  now  assigned  to  contract programming revenue and customer service
revenue.

     SERVICE REVENUE.  The gross  margin  on  service revenue was 32.7% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to 56.7% for the same period in
fiscal  1996.   The  lower  margin in fiscal 1997 resulted  primarily  from  an
increase in the number of employees  assigned  to customer services.  In fiscal
1997,  technical staff whose costs were assigned  to  research & development in
fiscal  1996  are  now  assigned to contract programming revenue  and  customer
service revenue.

     SYSTEM SALES.  There  were  no  system sales costs in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 and none are expected during  the  fiscal  year 1997.  System sales
gross margin was negative during fiscal 1996 primarily due to the write down of
the remaining net book value of purchased TimeNet system software.

EXPENSES

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  There were no research and development
("R&D")  expenses during the quarter ended September 30,  1996,  and  none  are
expected during  the  fiscal  year 1997.  In fiscal 1997, technical staff whose
costs were assigned to R & D in  fiscal  1996  are  now  assigned  to  contract
programming revenue and customer service.

     MARKETING  AND  SELLING  EXPENSES.   There  were  no marketing and selling
expenditures during the quarter ended September 30, 1996, and none are expected
during  the  fiscal year 1997.  The fiscal 1996 expenses are  related  to  five
sales/marketing  employees  who  were  terminated  during the second quarter of
fiscal 1996.

     GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES  ("G&A").  G&A  expenses  decreased
$93,745 or 30.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same
quarter  of fiscal 1996.  This decrease is due  primarily  to  a  reduction  of
approximately $52,000 in legal costs and $35,000 in personnel costs.

     SETTLEMENT  EXPENSE.   There  were  no  settlement  expenses  in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.  Expenses in fiscal 1996 were primarily settlement of a
suit by a former employee.

<PAGE>16

INCOME TAXES

     The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  under  Statement  of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  109.   As of June 30, 1996, the Company had  a  net
operating  loss carryforward for federal  and  state  income  tax  purposes  of
approximately  $23  million  and  $11  million,  respectively.  The federal net
operating  loss carryforward expires in the years 2005  through  2011  and  the
state net operating  loss  carryforward  expires  in  1997  through  2001.   In
connection  with  the  Company's initial public offering, a change of ownership
(as defined in Section 382  of  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended),
occurred.   As  a  result,  the  Company's  net  operating  loss  carryforwards
generated through August 10, 1992,  are  subject  to  an  annual  limitation of
approximately $300,000.

     In  August  and  September  1993,  a controlling interest of the Company's
stock was purchased, resulting in a second  annual  limitation of approximately
$398,000 on the Company's ability to utilize net operating  loss  carryforwards
generated between August 11, 1992, and September 13, 1993.  The Company expects
that  the  aforementioned annual limitations will result in approximately  $3.6
million of net operating loss carryovers which may not be utilized prior to the
expiration of the carryover period.

NET LOSS

     Net loss  decreased  $426,607 or 67.2% for the quarter ended September 30,
1996, compared to the same  quarter  in  fiscal  1996.   Although  the  Company
expects  losses  to  continue,  the  Company  expects  these  losses  could  be
significantly  below  prior  year levels due to cost and expense reductions and
potential contract programming revenue increases.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

     The Company's net loss per  share  has  been computed by dividing net loss
after  deducting  Preferred  Stock dividends ($30,625  in  each  of  the  first
quarters of fiscal 1997 and 1996)  by  the weighted average number of shares of

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1995

REVENUES

     Revenues decreased $546,940 or 23.5% in fiscal  1996 as compared to fiscal
1995.   The  lower  level  of  revenue  in  fiscal  1996  was due  in  part  to
management's decision that the Company's long-term prospects  were  best served
by  concentrating existing resources on providing contract computer programming
and consulting  services  in  the high technology temporary placement industry.
The following is an analysis of the Company's revenues by category:

     CONTRACT  PROGRAMMING REVENUE.   Contract  programming  revenue  increased
$1,103,860 or 625.62% in fiscal 1996 from fiscal 1995.  This increase is due in
part to the growth  in  the  number  of contract programmers placed at customer
sites in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995 and to the length of time contract
programmers were at customer sites during  each  of  the fiscal years.  At June
30, 1996, there were 25 programmers at 6 sites compared  to  3  programmers who
were  at  3 sites for slightly over 1 month during fiscal 1995.  The  remaining
increase is due to quadrupling the amount of custom programming and development
services performed  for  an  existing  LIS  customer in fiscal 1996 compared to
fiscal  1995.   The  Company  is  focusing its efforts  on  expanding  contract
programming revenues in fiscal 1997.

     SERVICE REVENUE.  Service revenue (sales of annually renewable maintenance
contracts for software support and  hardware  services  and  the  sale  of non-
contract  programming and software development services) decreased $685,949  or
59.9% in fiscal  1996  from fiscal 1995. This decrease was primarily the result
of non-recurring revenue  related  to the fiscal 1995 interim working agreement
with Cameron & Associates, Inc. for  system  integration  and  detailed  design
activities  in  connection  with  the  development  of  health care information
systems  in Russia. Under this agreement, the Company recognized  approximately
$380,000 in  fiscal  1995.  Additionally,  the Company recognized approximately

<PAGE>17

$226,000 of revenue in fiscal 1995 for system  enhancements  for  a current LIS
customer.   Such  revenues  were  not  received  in fiscal 1996 because of  the
discontinuation   of  the  Russian  project  and  because   additional   system
enhancement work for  the  LIS  customer  was not performed in fiscal 1996, but
contract  programming was performed for this  customer  in  fiscal  1996.   The
Company believes that service revenues will decline further in fiscal 1997.

     SYSTEM  SALES.   System  sales  (sales  of  information  systems including
hardware,  software,  installation  and training) accounted for 2.4%  of  total
revenue for fiscal 1996 as compared with  43.3%  for  the previous fiscal year.
System sales in fiscal 1996 decreased $964,851, or 95.8%,  from system sales in
fiscal 1995 due to recognition of the sale of four TimeNet systems and the sale
of an additional LIS license to an existing customer in fiscal  1995.   No such
sales  were  made  in  fiscal 1996.  The Company has discontinued marketing its
TimeNet and RUMS products  and  its   LIS systems and does not expect to derive
revenues from these products in fiscal 1997.

COST OF REVENUES

     CONTRACT  PROGRAMMING  REVENUE.  Gross  margins  on  contract  programming
revenues were $301,908 or 23.6%  in fiscal 1996 compared to $57,396 or 32.5% in
fiscal 1995.  This increase in total  margin  dollars is due to the significant
increase  in  custom  programming and development  services  performed  for  an
existing LIS customer in  fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995.  The decrease in
margin percentage in fiscal  1996  is  due  to  a greater use in fiscal 1996 of
higher paid, more technical employees compared to  the employees performing the
work in fiscal 1995.

     SERVICE REVENUE.  Gross margins on service revenue  were  27.1% for fiscal
1996 versus 31.8% for fiscal 1995.  The decreased margin on service  revenue in
fiscal  1996 is due primarily to  incurring fixed salary costs during a  period
of lower revenues.

     SYSTEM  SALES.   Gross margins on system sales were negative ($72,447) for
fiscal 1996 and ($2,103,657)  for fiscal 1995.  System sales gross margins were
negative for fiscal year 1996 due  to  the write down of the remaining net book
value of purchased system software and the  write  down  of hardware inventory,
while system sales were insignificant. In fiscal 1995, the  Company  wrote  off
software  development costs and purchased software costs totaling approximately
$2,070,000  because  the  cost  reduction  strategies  employed  by the Company
included reduction of sales and marketing staff and related activities.

EXPENSES

     RESEARCH  AND  DEVELOPMENT.   Research  and  development  ("R&D") expenses
decreased $1,360,439 or 67.4% in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal  1995.  As a
percentage of revenue, R&D expenses were 36.9% in fiscal 1996 as compared  with
86.7%  in  fiscal 1995.  These decreases are primarily due to reductions in the
Company's system  development  staff  related to LIS systems and due to using a
larger percentage of the remaining technical  staff  to  generate  contract and
service revenues.

     MARKETING.   Marketing  expenses  decreased $660,066 or 77.3% compared  to
fiscal 1995. This decrease resulted primarily  from reductions in the Company's
sales and marketing staff and related marketing activities.

     GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE ("G&A").  G&A expenses  were  $1,119,787  for
fiscal  1996 as compared  with  $2,622,455  for  fiscal  1995,  a  decrease  of
$1,502,668,  or  57.3%.   G&A  expenses  in  fiscal  1995  included a charge of
$345,000 related to the valuation of warrants to purchase common  stock  to  be
issued in connection with the strategic alliance entered into with EDS.  Due to
a  reduction  of personnel and moving to a less expensive facility, the Company
reduced G&A personnel  and  facility  costs by approximately $312,000 in fiscal
1996.   The  Company  also  incurred  approximately  $552,000  less  in  legal,
accounting and filing fees in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995.

     SETTLEMENT  EXPENSES.  Expenses incurred  to  settle  various  claims  and
disputes amounted  to  $78,125 for fiscal 1996 versus $133,287 for fiscal 1995.
During fiscal 1996, the Company recorded $78,125 of expense for settlement of a
lawsuit by a former employee  which  alleged  sexual  harassment  and  wrongful
termination.  During fiscal 1995, the Company recorded approximately $96,000 of
expense  for  settlement  of  a customer dispute and approximately $200,000  of

<PAGE>18

expense for settlement of a dispute  with  a distributor offset by the reversal
of a reserve in the amount of approximately $170,000 covering these disputes.

INCOME TAXES

     The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes under  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109.  As of June 30,  1996,  the  Company  had  a  net
operating  loss  carryforward  for  federal  and  state  income tax purposes of
approximately  $23  million  and $11 million, respectively.   The  federal  net
operating loss carryforward expires  in  the  years  2005  through 2011 and the
state  net  operating  loss  carryforward  expires  in 1997 through  2001.   In
connection with the Company's initial public offering,  a  change  of ownership
(as  defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as  amended),
occurred.   As  a  result,  the  Company's  net  operating  loss  carryforwards
generated  through  August  10,  1992  are  subject to an annual limitation  of
approximately $300,000.

     In  August and September 1993, a controlling  interest  of  the  Company's
stock was  purchased,  resulting in a second annual limitation of approximately
$398,000 on the Company's  ability  to utilize net operating loss carryforwards
generated between August 11, 1992, and September 13, 1993.  The Company expects
that the aforementioned annual limitations  will  result  in approximately $3.6
million of net operating loss carryovers which may not be utilized prior to the
expiration of the carryover period.

NET LOSS

     Net  loss  decreased  to  $1,847,812 for fiscal 1996 from  $7,525,367  for
fiscal 1995.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

     The Company's net loss per  share  has  been computed by dividing net loss
after deducting Preferred Stock dividends ($122,500 in each of the fiscal years
1996  and  1995)  by the weighted average number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
outstanding during  the periods presented, after giving effect to the Company's
one-for-ten consolidation  of  Common  Stock  approved  by  the stockholders on
November 21, 1996, and effective December 2, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since its inception, the Company has used a combination of equity and debt
financing  and  internal  cash  flow to fund research and development,  support
operations,  obtain  capital equipment,  and  finance  inventory  and  accounts
receivable.  The Company  expects  to  continue  to  be  a net user of cash for
operations in the near future.  In fiscal 1996 the Company  used  an average of
approximately  $53,000 per month of cash for operating activities, as  compared
with an average  of  approximately $337,000 per month of cash for operating and
investing activities in  fiscal  1995.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the
Company  used  an  average of approximately  $52,000  per  month  of  cash  for
operating activities,  as compared with an average of approximately $22,000 per
month in the first quarter  of  fiscal  1996.   The  Company  expects  that the
average rate at which cash is used during fiscal 1997 will decrease as a direct
result of the change in its emphasis to providing contract computer programming
and consulting services.

     The Company encountered serious financial difficulties in fiscal 1993  and
incurred  significant  losses  in fiscal years 1993 through 1996.  As a result,
beginning in July 1993 and extending through February 1995, the Company entered
into a series of agreements with  one  or  more  groups  of investors including
James  W.  Cameron,  Jr.  During that period, Mr. Cameron and  those  investors
invested a total of approximately  $9,640,000  in  the  Company's Common Stock,
Preferred  Stock  and  Warrants,  and  Mr.  Cameron has guaranteed  bank  loans
totaling $1,000,000 as of the date of this Prospectus.   Mr.  Cameron currently
owns  or  controls  20,055,961  shares  of Common Stock and holds approximately
78.50% of the total voting power of the Company's capital stock.    

     In February 1994, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit with
the Bank in the amount of $2,000,000 with  a  maturity  date of August 1, 1994.
Since   July 1994, the maturity date of the line of credit  has  been  extended
several times, and in March 1995 the Bank agreed to extend the maturity date of
the line of credit but reduced the line of credit to $1,000,000.  After several

<PAGE>19

extensions,  the  maturity  date of the line of credit was verbally extended by
the  Bank  from January 1, 1997,  until  such  time  as  Cameron  can  conclude
negotiations  with  the  Bank  to become the borrower under the line of credit.
See "Risk Factors -- Need For Additional Capital."  The line of credit is fully
utilized at $1,000,000.  The Company's  obligations  under  the  line of credit
have been guaranteed by James W. Cameron, Jr. (the "Continuing Guaranty")  (see
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -- Financing Arrangements"); and
the  line  of  credit  is  secured  by substantially all assets of the Company.
Interest under the line of credit is  payable monthly at a rate of 1% in excess
of  the  Bank's Reference Rate.  Among other  covenants,  the  line  of  credit
prohibits  the  Company  from incurring additional debt (other than that to the
Bank) without the Bank's written consent.  However, the Company is in technical
default under the terms of  the  line of credit because of additional borrowing
from  two stockholders, Cameron and  Negri  (see  "Risk  Factors  --  Need  for
Additional   Capital"),   borrowing   of   approximately  $15,000  to  purchase
automobiles and financing of approximately $19,000  related to royalty payments
due St. Agnes Hospital.  There can be no assurance that  the Bank will conclude
negotiations  making  Cameron the borrower under the line of  credit.   In  the
event  negotiations are  not  satisfactorily  concluded between Cameron and the
Bank, the Bank  may enforce its security interest  in  the  Company's assets or
seek payment from the guarantor.  See "Risk Factors -- Security Interest in the
Company's Assets; Default on Revolving Line of Credit."    

     As consideration for the execution of the Continuing Guaranty, the Company
entered  into a Reimbursement Agreement with Mr. Cameron pursuant  to  which  a
designee of  Mr.  Cameron  received  a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share.  Additionally,
pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement,  in  the  event  that  Mr.  Cameron is
required  to  repay  the  Bank  any  moneys  under the Continuing Guaranty, the
Company is required to repay Mr. Cameron the amount  of  each payment by either
i) paying an equal cash amount or ii) issuing to Mr. Cameron  a non-convertible
note  (the  "Straight  Note")  in the principal amount of such payment  by  Mr.
Cameron, bearing interest at an interest rate equal to the interest rate of the
line of credit on the date of such  payment  and subject to adjustment when and
to the extent that the interest rate prevailing  under  the  line of credit may
change.   Furthermore,  under  the  terms of the Reimbursement Agreement,  upon
written  demand  by  Mr. Cameron, the Straight  Note  will  be  replaced  by  a
convertible note (the  "Convertible  Note")  in a principal amount equal to the
Straight Note and bearing interest at the same  rate.   The conversion ratio of
the Convertible Note is equal to the Applicable Percentage,  as  defined in the
Reimbursement  Agreement,  multiplied  by  the  average  trading  price of  the
Company's  Common  Stock  over  the  period  of ten trading days ending on  the
trading day next preceding the date of issuance of such Convertible Note.  As a
result of the maturity date of the line of credit  being  extended  by the Bank
each  six  months  since signing of the Reimbursement Agreement, the Applicable
Percentage is 20% and  cannot  be reduced below this percentage by terms of the
agreement.

     In  January  and  February  1994,   the  Company  received  $720,000  from
Mr.  Cameron and signed a note payable to him.   The  note  payable,  including
unpaid interest, was converted into Series E Preferred Stock in connection with
the Series E equity financing in November 1994, described below.  In June 1994,
the Company  sold  204,167 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for approximately
$1,225,000 to certain investors, including James W. Cameron, Jr.

     From September through November 1994, and prior to the consummation of the
Series E equity financing, the Company received $1,450,000 in advances from Mr.
Cameron which were subsequently  converted  into  Series  E  Preferred Stock in
November 1994, described below.

     In  November 1994, the Company received $301,250 in a private  sale  of  a
combination  of  Common  Stock  and  warrants  to  purchase Common Stock.  This
transaction consisted of the purchase of 33,500 shares  of the Company's Common
Stock at $7.50 per share and the purchase of 5,000 units  at  $10.00  per unit,
each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share.

     Also  in  1994,  the  Company entered into a series of agreements for  the
purchase  of  Series  E  Convertible   Preferred   Stock   with   two  existing
stockholders.   The  transaction  included  a  debt  to  equity  conversion  of
$2,232,856  and  an  additional  aggregate  cash  investment  of $1,215,004  in
exchange for the issuance of 287,322 shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

<PAGE>20

     In February 1995, the Company received commitments from several investors,
including  a  foundation  controlled  by  James  W.  Cameron,  Jr.,  to  invest
$1,475,000  in  a  private sale of 147,500 units at $10.00 per unit, each  unit
consisting of one share  of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of
Common Stock at an exercise  price of $15.00 per share or $7.50 per share below
the last trading price on the  date  of  the  notice  of exercise, whichever is
lower.   The  Company received $1,475,000 prior to June 30,  1995,  and  issued
147,500 shares pursuant to these agreements.

     On December  1,  1995,  the  holders  of all the outstanding shares of the
Company's Series E Preferred Stock tendered  those  shares  for conversion into
22,335,933 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the  terms  of  the
Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

     In  fiscal  1996,  the  Company  again  suffered  significant  losses from
operations.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a net working capital deficit
of  $3,406,254  and  an  accumulated  deficit of $33,207,699.  The Company  was
unable to generate adequate cash flow from  operations  to  meet  its cash flow
requirements  and,  as  a  result,  the  Company met its cash flow requirements
primarily through short term financing from  two  stockholders.   During fiscal
1995, the Company met its cash flow requirements primarily through  the sale of
equity  securities  and  debt  financing.   During  fiscal  1996,  the  Company
generated   approximately   $646,000   from   financing  activities,  generated
approximately  $5,000  on  investing  activities  and   consumed  approximately
$638,000  on operating activities.  During fiscal 1995, the  Company  generated
approximately  $3.7  million  from financing activities, consumed approximately
$15,000 on investing activities  and  consumed  approximately  $4.0  million on
operating activities.

     The  report  of  the independent auditors on the Company's June 30,  1996,
financial statements includes  an  explanatory  paragraph  indicating  there is
substantial  doubt  about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The  financial statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  to  reflect  the
uncertainties related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of
the Company  to  continue  as  a  going concern.  Based on the recent steps the
Company  has  taken to reduce its expenses  and  refocus  its  operations,  the
Company believes  that  it has developed a viable plan to address the Company's
ability to continue as a  going  concern  and  that  this  plan will enable the
Company  to  continue as a going concern through the end of fiscal  year  1997.
However, considering,  among  other  things, the Company's historical operating
losses, its lack of experience in the  contract  computer programming industry,
and anticipated negative cash flow from operations,  there  can be no assurance
that this plan will be successfully implemented.  The Company  does  not expect
to  generate  sufficient  cash  flow  from operations to sustain its operations
during  fiscal  1997;  therefore, the Company  contemplates  needing  to  raise
additional financing during fiscal 1997.    

     Historically, the Company  has  relied upon cash infusions from two if its
major stockholders, Cameron and Negri,  to  fund  its operations.  Although the
Company  has  not entered into any written agreement  with  Cameron  or  Negri,
management believes,  based  on  discussions with these individuals, that these
two  stockholders will continue to  finance  the  Company's  operations  during
fiscal 1997.  In December 1996, Cameron and Negri extended the maturity date on
notes  payable  totaling  approximately $1.2 million from December 31, 1996, to
the earlier of December 31,  1997,  or  such time as the Company obtains equity
financing.  In addition, the maturity date  of  the  $1,000,000  line of credit
with  Bank of America (see "Risk Factors -- Security Interest in the  Company's
Assets; Default on Revolving Line of Credit") was verbally extended by the bank
until such  time  as  Cameron can conclude negotiations with the Bank to become
the borrower under the line of credit.  When Cameron becomes the borrower under
the line of credit, the  Company  will enter into a note payable to Cameron for
the $1,000,000.  Terms of that note  are  expected  to  provide  for  the  same
monthly  interest  payments  as  with  the Bank and have a maturity date of the
earlier  of  December 31, 1997, or such time  as  the  Company  obtains  equity
financing.  See  "Certain  Relationships  and Related Transactions -- Financing
Arrangements."   In  addition, based on discussions  with  Cameron  and  Negri,
management  believes  that   these  two  stockholders  will  continue  to  fund
operations and extend the maturity  dates  of  the  various notes payable until
such  time  as  the  Company can repay the notes.  However,  there  can  be  no
assurance that events may arise which may affect these stockholders' ability to
finance  the  Company or  that  the  Company  may  experience  significant  and
unanticipated cash  flow  problems  which  may  cause these two stockholders to
reconsider their investment.  Further, if the Company  experiences  significant
cash  flow  problems,  the  Company may be required to reduce the level of  its
operating  activities  or  be forced  into  seeking  protection  under  federal
bankruptcy laws.    

<PAGE>21

     In the first quarter of  fiscal  1997, Cameron and Negri advanced $173,000
to the Company to fund its operations.   In  the second quarter of fiscal 1997,
these two stockholders advanced another $293,900  to  the  Company  to fund its
operations.   The  Company executed unsecured notes payables for these  amounts
that include, among  other  requirements,  an interest rate of 10.25% per annum
and a maturity date extended to December 31, 1997.    

     The Company is registering 928,500 shares  of  Common  Stock  which may be
issued by the Company from time to time to satisfy liabilities accrued  in  its
financial  statements  which total approximately $700,000.  The price per share
and the number of shares  the Company actually issues, if any, will depend upon
the Company's ability to negotiate  satisfactory settlement agreements with its
creditors.  See "Plan of Distribution."   No  assurance  can  be given that any
creditor will accept shares of Common Stock in exchange for the  settlement  of
liabilities.    

   COMMITMENTS    

     In  December  1996,  the  Company  had  $1,205,652  in  notes  payable  to
stockholders  outstanding with a maturity date of December 31, 1996.  See "Risk
Factors -- Need  for  Additional Capital."  In addition, the $1,000,000 line of
credit with Bank of America  was  to  mature  on  January  1,  1997.  See "Risk
Factors -- Security Interest in the Company's Assets; Default on Revolving Line
of Credit."  In December 1996, Cameron and Negri extended the maturity  date on
notes  payable  totaling approximately $1.2 million from December 31, 1996,  to
the earlier of December  31,  1997,  or such time as the Company obtains equity
financing.  In addition, the maturity  date  of  the  $1,000,000 line of credit
with  Bank  of America was verbally extended by the bank  until  such  time  as
Cameron can conclude  negotiations  with  the Bank to become the borrower under
the  line  of credit.  When Cameron becomes the  borrower  under  the  line  of
credit, the  Company  will  enter  into  a  note  payable  to  Cameron  for the
$1,000,000.   Terms  of  that note are expected to provide for the same monthly
interest payments as with  the  Bank and have a maturity date of the earlier of
December 31, 1997, or such time as  the  Company obtains equity financing.  See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -- Financing Arrangements."    

EQUITY FOR DEBT AGREEMENTS

     In June 1995, the Company negotiated  an  equity  for  debt swap agreement
with  Pillsbury  Madison & Sutro  whereby they agreed to accept  a  warrant  to
purchase, at $1.00  per  share,  the  number  of shares of the Company's Common
Stock equal to 1.85% of the number of issued and  outstanding  shares of Common
Stock,  plus  the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable pursuant  to
outstanding  options,  warrants,  conversion  provisions  and other  rights  to
purchase   Common  Stock,  at  the  time  of  exercise,  as  full  payment   of
approximately  $522,000  in outstanding legal fees for services provided to the
Company.    

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

     Management does not expect  inflation  to  have  a  material effect on the
Company's operating expenses.

NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The  requirements of the Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  No.
121, "Accounting  for  the  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,"
issued in March 1995 ("FAS 121")  and  the  Statement  of  Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," issued in October
1995 ("FAS 123"), are effective for financial statements for  years  that begin
after  December  15,  1995.   Although the Company has not performed a detailed
analysis of the impact of FAS 121  on  the  Company's financial statements, the
Company does not believe that the adoption of  FAS  121  will  have  a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.

     FAS   123  encourages,  but  does  not  require,  companies  to  recognize
compensation  expense  based  on fair value for grants of stock, stock options,
and other equity instruments granted to employees.  Companies that do not adopt
the fair value accounting rules  must  disclose  the impact of adopting the new
method in the notes to the financial statements.   The  Company  currently does
not intend to adopt the fair value accounting prescribed by FAS 123 and will be
subject only to the disclosure requirements prescribed by FAS 123.

                                     BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

     Alternative Technology Resources, Inc. (the "Company") [formerly  known as
3Net  Systems,  Inc.]  provides  contract  computer  programming and consulting
services  to  an  expanding  base and variety of industrial  customers.   These
services include:  (i) providing  alternative programming resources to domestic
customers through the recruitment,  training,  transportation,  and contractual
deployment of foreign information technology professionals, drawing prospective
contractors primarily from selected areas within the former Soviet  Union; (ii)
software  development and implementation services for customers who desire  new
applications  which  are  based  on  personal  computer ("PC") network, client-
server, and/or Internet technology platforms; and  (iii)  software and hardware
support  and  maintenance  services  for  customers  who license  and  use  the
Company's proprietary application system products.  These services are provided
by virtue of the Company's network of international business  contacts  and its
depth  of  knowledge and experience in PC networks, client-server technologies,
object-oriented   technologies,   Internet  technologies,  system  integration,
laboratory information systems, application  systems  development, and business
development.    

     Previously,  the  Company  had  focused  on the design,  development,  and
marketing of integrated computer application systems,  with particular emphasis
on  the  automation  of  medical/clinical/insurance  laboratories  through  its
laboratory information system products ("Cortex LIS" and  "PrismCare  LIS",  or
"FAILSAFE  LIS").   These  products  collect and validate test request and test
result  data,  interface with and respond  to  requests  for  information  from
laboratory instruments,  organize  data  and  communicate  it  to  various user
departments of a hospital, and provide quality control and assurance functions.
The  Cortex  LIS includes clinical, microbiology, and laboratory communications
applications designed  for  small/medium-sized  customer  installations, and is
licensed  by  a  substantial  majority  of  the  Company's  current  laboratory
information  system  customers.   By  comparison,  the  PrismCare LIS  includes
clinical, microbiology, and laboratory communications applications designed for
medium/large-sized  customer installations.  As discussed  below,  due  to  the
continuing losses attributed  to  the development and sale of medical software,
the Company has decided that it will  no  longer devote any dedicated resources
to the marketing or selling of these products.

     In  fiscal  1995  and early fiscal 1996,  a  significant  portion  of  the
Company's resources were  also devoted to its automated timekeeping ("TimeNet")
and universal resource scheduler ("RUMS") products.  TimeNet automates the time
and attendance record-keeping functions typically maintained either manually or
by a card-punch clock system.   The  Company  sold  and  installed four TimeNet
Systems to hospitals during 1994-96; additionally, two systems had already been
installed in hospitals when the marketing rights to TimeNet  were  acquired  by
the  Company.   RUMS  is  an  objected-oriented  system  that  simulates highly
complex,  real-time  resource scheduling circumstances, such as scheduling  all
facets of patient care  at a hospital.  In December 1993, the Company purchased
an exclusive license to the  proprietary  software  development methodology and
for  the  use  and  resale,  into  the  health  care  market,   of  RUMS,  from
TransMillenial Resources Corporation in exchange for 100,000 shares  of  Common
Stock.   Further,  in  February  1995, the Company entered into an agreement to
purchase rights to use and resell,  into  any  market, the proprietary software
acquired in fiscal 1994 for the health care market.   Since  its acquisition of
said  rights  to  RUMS,  the  Company  has marketed RUMS through its  strategic
alliances and business partnerships.  However, the Company has sold no customer
licenses to RUMS to date.

     During the second half of fiscal 1996,  the  Company began to redirect its
strategic focus away from product development/sales in order to concentrate its
resources on its contract services businesses.  This  change  in  strategy  was
effected by the Company as a direct result of several critical factors.

     First,  the  Company had been largely unsuccessful in selling new customer
licenses  to its primary  products,  PrismCare  LIS  and  TimeNet.   Concerning
PrismCare LIS,  this  lack  of  new  sales  resulted from the significant delay
experienced by the Company in completing the  development and implementation of
the system at the initial customer site.  This  delay  resulted  in significant
losses  and severe liquidity problems.  Cost cutting required by negative  cash
flows resulted  in  further  delays in software development and implementation.
When PrismCare LIS was finally implemented at its first customer site in fiscal
1995,  its  overall marketability  was  limited  by  its  commercial  insurance

<PAGE>23

laboratory design.  Therefore, significant additional time and investment would
be required to  bring  the product up to competitive clinical laboratory market
standards.  Concerning TimeNet, the lack of new sales was related to a dramatic
increase in the number of  competitive  offerings  in  the  time and attendance
system  market,  TimeNet's  lack  of a graphical user interface,  and  customer
reluctance to contract with the Company based upon its financial condition.

     Second, the markets in which the Company sold products offered the Company
little opportunity for significant  growth  in  sales  and  market  share.  The
domestic  laboratory  information system market had become highly saturated  so
that the majority of system  sales opportunities were to replace customers' old
existing systems.  This proved  to  be  difficult considering the long-standing
loyalty  and  investments of these customers  with  their  existing  laboratory
system vendors.   The  negative cash flow associated with the lack of new sales
and the significant remaining  investment  required  to bring PrismCare LIS and
TimeNet  up  to  competitive  market  standards  combined to  bring  about  the
suspension of all existing product sales efforts in  the  Company by the end of
fiscal 1996.

     Third,  in  fiscal 1996, the Company recognized that contract  programming
and consulting services  offered  the  greatest potential for profitability and
improved  shareholder  value.  Although the  Company  had  earlier  ceased  its
product development efforts  in  Cortex LIS and PrismCare LIS, twelve customers
continued to renew their system license  and/or  hardware/software  maintenance
support   agreements   each   year.    The   total   number  of  such  customer
license/maintenance contracts has slowly decreased during the past two years.

     More  importantly  for  the  future,  however, the Company  has  begun  to
determine  the  market  potential  for  its alternative  programming  resources
business since its inception in fiscal 1995.   Based upon its experience in the
market and critical industry forecasts, the Company  believes that this line of
business is the best vehicle for financial recovery and  the  development  of a
viable  ongoing  enterprise  for  the  future.   By  focusing its operations on
providing contract programming and consulting services,  the  Company has begun
to generate new revenues and has reduced expenses, thus reducing  its operating
losses.   These  actions  substantially  reduced  the  Company's level of  cash
consumption in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995.   However,  the  Company
did not generate sufficient cash flow in fiscal 1996 to support its operations.

     The  Company  has  incurred  operating  losses  since inception which have
resulted  in  an  accumulated  deficit  of $33,207,699 at June  30,  1996.   In
addition,  at  June  30, 1996 the Company had  a  working  capital  deficit  of
$3,406,254 and a stockholders'  deficit  of  $3,255,515.   In  fiscal  1993 and
fiscal 1994, the Company experienced delays in completion of its products which
resulted in an inability to timely install ordered systems and an inability  to
close  new  orders.   In  fiscal  1995,  the  Company  succeeded  in  receiving
acceptance  of  its  products by some of its customers; however, sales momentum
had been lost because  of the extended delays.  During fiscal 1995, the Company
wrote off software development  costs  and purchased software costs because the
cost reduction strategies employed by the  Company  included reduction of sales
and marketing staff and related activities.  In fiscal 1996, the closing of new
orders continued to be impacted by this lack of momentum  and  by the Company's
financial  status.   In  order  to  reduce  its  losses, the Company no  longer
marketed its medical software and related products,  but  has  taken  steps  to
decrease  expenses  and generate revenues by providing contract programming and
consulting  services and  by  acting  as  an  intermediary  in  providing  such
services.

     The Company's  operating  growth  strategy  includes  the expansion of its
marketing  efforts  through  strategic  alliances  and the development  of  new
customers with the expenditure of a minimum of resources.   During fiscal 1996,
the Company reduced its staff by 50 percent and lowered operating  expenses  by
64%;  however,  such  cost-saving  moves  will  not  be sufficient to allow the
Company to timely meet all of its obligations while attempting to grow revenues
to a level necessary to generate cash from operations;  therefore,  the Company
is  pursuing  additional  funds through private equity financings or additional
debt financings.  Although there can be no assurances that additional financing
can be obtained or that if  obtained,  such  financing  will  be  sufficient to
prevent  the  Company  from  having  further to reduce materially its level  of
operations  or  be forced to seek protection  under  federal  bankruptcy  laws,
management of the  Company believes that sufficient financing will be available
until operations can  be  funded  through  contract  programming and consulting
services.  Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve  a  profitable level of
operations  to  fund growth and to meet its obligations when they  become  due.

ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMING RESOURCE SERVICES

     According to  STAFFING  INDUSTRY  REPORT,  a  staffing  services  industry
publication,  the  information  technology  temporary  staffing  sector  of the
industry  is  one  of  the  fastest  growing  sectors of the temporary staffing
industry and was estimated to have 1995 revenues  of  approximately $9 billion,
which represents a 25% increase per year for the past two years.

     The prodigious growth rate of the information technology staffing services
sector  is  being  driven  by  several  important  corporate strategic  trends.
Corporate restructuring, downsizing, government regulations,  rapid advances in
technology,  and the desire by many companies to shift employee  costs  from  a
fixed to a variable  expense basis, have resulted in the use of a wide range of
staffing alternatives  by  businesses.  Over the last decade, the increased use
of  technology has led to a dramatic  rise  in  demand  for  technical  project
support,   software   development,   and   other   computer-related   services.
Corporations have outsourced many of these departments and/or have utilized the
employees  of  staffing  firms  in an attempt to meet the increased demand  for
computer-skilled personnel.

     Since fiscal 1995, the Company  has  developed  a  growing  niche business
within  the information technology sector by providing alternative  programming
resources   (APR)   to  domestic  customers.   The  Company  achieves  this  by
recruiting,  training,   importing,   and   contractually   deploying   foreign
information  technology  professionals  from  the former Soviet Union (FSU) for
direct assignment to customer programming projects.   The  mechanism  by  which
such prospective foreign contractors are identified and prepared for assignment
to  U.S.  company  projects  is the Company's cooperative business relationship
with  a  technology  firm  based  in  the  FSU.   The  Company  has  a  working
relationship  with  PRIZE-ITM,  LTD.  ("PRIZE"),   a   Latvian   company  which
specializes   in  information  technology  recruiting,  training  and  software
development.  The  principals  of  PRIZE are generally former senior executives
and managers of the Research Division  of the Riga Institute for Civil Aviation
Automation and Controls, Riga, Latvia.   In  the  former Soviet Union, the Riga
Institute provided information technology education  and  software  development
services to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (AEROFLOT).  The original nucleus of
PRIZE  employees  came  from  the  Riga  Institute  after  the  major functions
supporting AEROFLOT were discontinued.  The Company pays a monthly fee to PRIZE
for  the  services they perform in recruiting and training personnel  for  U.S.
assignments.  The process works as follows:    

   <circle>   The   Company   identifies   information   technology   personnel
           requirements  with  its  U.S.  customers, and provides PRIZE with  a
           technical  job  profile which describes  the  specific  applications
           software, computer  hardware, operating systems and years experience
           required  to  qualify  for  the  specific  U.S.  customer-identified
           position.  PRIZE has developed  three methods for identification and
           selection of appropriate candidates.   First,  PRIZE has developed a
           data base of resumes of individuals from Riga and other parts of the
           former  Soviet  Union  who  have technical and language  proficiency
           skills  necessary  to  work  in the  United  States,  and  who  have
           indicated a desire to work overseas.  This data base is interrogated
           with  the  specific job criteria,  and  any  personnel  matches  are
           further interviewed  to  ascertain  if the individual is technically
           qualified for the specific job and has  a  desire  to participate in
           the  Company's  U.S.  placement  program.  The second method  is  to
           advertise   in   local   newspapers   for   information   technology
           professionals with specific technical skills  and  work  experience.
           These  advertisements  are  placed with a specific U.S. customer  in
           mind that has identified a need within its organization which cannot
           be  filled  through its normal  domestic  U.S.  personnel  selection
           channels.  Third,  PRIZE  has  recruiting  representatives  in other
           cities in the former Soviet Union who participate in job fairs,  and
           who recruit potential candidates through educational institutions or
           technical companies in their local area.    

   <circle>  PRIZE  provides  several types of training depending upon the U.S.
           based customer needs  and  the  needs  of  the  people who are being
           recruited to fill positions at the customer site.  Computer based or
           classroom  training  is  provided  in  subjects  such  as   specific
           programming  languages,  specific  computer  operating  systems, and
           business subjects for which computer automation support is  provided
           by  the  customer to its users.  Additional training is provided  in
           English,  and  U.S.  business  and  personal  lifestyles.   Not  all
           candidates  recruited  by PRIZE are trained in technical subjects if
           they  have  the  requisite  skills  based  on  their  previous  work
           experience.  Depending  on the U.S. customer, some specific training
           may be provided by the customer  once  the  contractors  are  at the

<PAGE>25

           customer's  site.   This training is usually more detailed education
           regarding  the  customer's   business,  applications  software,  and
           technical environment.    

   <circle> The typical contract relationship  with  foreign contractors starts
           with  a  representation  agreement  which  allows   the  Company  to
           represent  the  candidate for a fixed period of  time  in  the  U.S.
           information technology market.  Further this contract authorizes the
           Company to process  an  H1-B  work  visa  with  the U.S. Immigration
           Service  when an appropriate job has been found for  the  candidate.
           This contract  also  identifies  specific  training  required  to be
           performed by the candidate prior to reporting to the U.S. customer's
           work  site.   After  the  H1-B visa is approved, the Company and the
           candidate sign a three year  contract  which supports the employment
           requirements of the H1-B visa, and identifies all the services to be
           performed  by the Company and the contractor.   All  employment  and
           compensation  terms  are  between  the  Company as employer, and the
           contractor as an employee of the Company.    

   <circle>  The  Company places its foreign workers with  companies  who  have
           specific  technical  needs  which are not being filled with domestic
           workers.  Usually these jobs are in technical areas of legacy system
           maintenance where older technologies are still being used, and where
           there is a defined shortage of  qualified  manpower in this country.
           The  Company  places its candidates as contract  services  employees
           directly with customer  companies,  and  also has strategic business
           relationships with other contract services  companies  who  have job
           openings  with  their  customers  which  they  cannot  fill from the
           available U.S. personnel resource pool.    

   <circle>  The  Company  provides  all  visa  application  support, including
           application  fees,  and  also  provides  international and  domestic
           transportation  to the customer's work-site.   When  necessary,  the
           Company also provides  housing  and  other  support  services,  e.g.
           utilities   and  telephone,  until  the  contractor  is  capable  of
           establishing   credit   in  order  to  provide  these  services  for
           himself.    

     The Company's first target of opportunity for the contractual placement of
these FSU computer specialists in U.S.-based  computing  assignments  is in the
legacy  system  support  and  maintenance.   A "legacy system" is defined as  a
business  application  system  developed ten or more  years  ago  in  an  older
computer language (such as COBOL,  PL/1,  or Assembler Language) that continues
to  operate  on  a  mainframe  or mid-frame hardware  platform.   The  cost  of
maintenance for such systems has  steadily  risen  over  the  years.  Even more
problematic for the U.S. companies operating legacy systems today  is the ever-
decreasing domestic labor pool of programmers who are technically qualified and
who desire to perform software maintenance tasks.

     The  increasing  disparity between the amount of legacy system maintenance
demand and the supply of  qualified,  motivated  programmers  to  perform it is
further  escalated  by  the  Year  2000  conversion  issue.  Also known as  the
"millennium  bug,"  this problem arises from the widespread  use  of  only  two
digits to represent the  year in computer programs performing date computations
and decision-making functions.   Unless  these programs are modified, many will
fail due to their inability to interpret properly these date fields (e.g., such
programs may interpret "00" as the year "1900"  rather  than  as  "2000").  The
Gartner  Group,  an information technology market research firm, has  estimated
that it will cost  the public and private sectors between $300 and $600 billion
worldwide to perform the necessary Year 2000 conversions.  The cost to the U.S.
federal government alone is estimated to be over $30 billion.

     With the further  expansion  of  its  APR business and associated contacts
throughout the FSU, the Company believes it  can  offer  American  businesses a
viable legacy system maintenance staffing alternative.  Contractual engagements
are  arranged  either  directly  by  the  Company with individual customers  or
through the sales and marketing efforts of third-party business partners.  When
the Company receives orders for such foreign  contractors from the customer, it
arranges for their work visas, their transportation  to  the  U.S.,  and  their
housing  and  local  transportation  needs  in  the  customer's  city/state  of
business.   While  working  under  customer  contracts, the foreign contractors
generate revenues at market rates for their time,  from  which the Company pays
them  a  basic  salary  that  includes  cash  and  payments-in-kind  for  basic
necessities (i.e., housing, utilities, transportation,  etc.)  according to the
prevailing wage determined by the local state government.

<PAGE>26

     The  Company  currently  has  30 foreign contractors actively employed  in
U.S.-based  contracts  at  six  different   customer   business   locations  in
California, Minnesota, Georgia, and New Hampshire.

     The  Company  has  recently entered into a joint marketing agreement  with
Technical Directions, Inc.  ("TDI").   TDI  is a professional contract services
company, and under the five year joint marketing agreement, TDI will market the
Company's personnel resources.  The Company will  be  the preferred provider of
foreign workers to TDI.  The joint marketing agreement is in its initial stages
and  no  assurances  can be given that TDI will be successful  in  placing  the
Company's personnel resources or that the Company will find qualified technical
personnel to fulfill the needs of TDI's clients.

SOFTWARE/HARDWARE MAINTENANCE SUPPORT SERVICES

     The Company provides software and hardware maintenance support services to
customers who have licensed  one  or more of its proprietary system products on
the  basis of annually renewable contracts.   Products  for  which  maintenance
support  service  contracts  are  available include PrismCare LIS.  Maintenance
support services are no longer provided  by  the  Company to TimeNet customers.
These maintenance support services are available to such customers 24 hours per
day  seven  days  per  week.  In addition, overnight delivery  of  hardware  is
available when needed.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES

     The Company provides  software development and implementation services for
customers who desire new customized applications which are based on PC network,
client-server, and/or Internet  technology  platforms.   These  engagements are
contracted  on  an  individual customer basis and generate revenues  at  market
rates for required time and materials.

PRODUCTS

TIMENET TIMEKEEPING SYSTEM

     In fiscal 1993,  the  Company  acquired  all of the marketing rights to an
automated timekeeping system known as "TimeNet",  formerly "IntelliTime".  This
system  automates the time and attendance record-keeping  functions  maintained
either manually or by card-punch clock system.  Time and attendance information
(as well  as  information  regarding  the  worker's  location  in the hospital,
office,  or plant) is taken directly from a magnetically encoded  or  bar-coded
badge.  As  consideration  for  the marketing rights to the system, the Company
agreed to pay $40,000 and a royalty of 10% of gross software and hardware sales
through February 12, 1995 up to a cumulative total of $100,000, with respect to
TimeNet.  The Company has an additional  commitment  to  pay  royalties  to St.
Agnes  Hospital  on  software  sales  related  to the TimeNet product at 15% of
related sales, but in any event not less than $75,000  for  a three-year period
ending  December  22,  1995.  The Company has sold and installed  four  TimeNet
systems in hospitals to  date;  additionally,  two  systems  had  already  been
installed  in  hospitals  when  the  marketing  rights were acquired.  However,
TimeNet development, sales, and marketing efforts  were suspending indefinitely
in  April 1996, and all existing TimeNet customer maintenance  support  service
contracts terminated.

RESOURCE UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RUMS)

     In  December  1993,  the  Company  purchased  an  exclusive  license  to a
proprietary  software  development methodology and for the use and resale, into
the health care market,  of  a proprietary universal scheduler software package
("Resource  Utilization  Management  System"  or  "RUMS")  from  TransMillenial
Resources Corporation in exchange for 100,000 shares of Common Stock.

     In connection with this  agreement,  the Company recorded in December 1993
$550,000 in consulting expenses and $1,000,000  as  an  asset for the purchased
software.  This agreement also encompassed compensation for  past services.  In
February 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase  rights to use
and  resell,  into  any  market,  the proprietary universal scheduling software
acquired in fiscal 1994 for the health care market.  The agreement required the

<PAGE>27

Company to issue 10,000 shares of its  Common  Stock  and a warrant to purchase
40,000 shares of its Common Stock at $0.01 per share with  a  fair market value
of  $500,000  as  consideration for these rights.  At September 30,  1995,  the
Company expensed the  remaining  asset  value  of  $1,156,522  related  to RUMS
because  the  cost  reduction  strategies  employed  by  the  Company  included
reduction  of  sales  and  marketing  staff and activities.  The Company is not
currently directly marketing RUMS.  No  significant  sales of this product have
been recorded to date.

ACCELERATOR

     The Company developed a proprietary memory resident  data  base management
software for intercepting and processing file requests from a workstation  in a
computer  data  communications  network  which reduces network traffic and file
server activity.  Since pre-allocation of memory is not required and memory can
be released to the workstation when no longer  in use, programs running against
data base servers or file managers achieve a reduction  in  network traffic and
provide for high speed network communications.  The Accelerator  overcomes  the
deficiencies  found  in  conventional network management devices and methods by
eliminating network latency  and  measurably  increasing  file  access speed by
storing files in local memory.

     The  Accelerator  software  is  embedded  in  the Company's PrismCare  LIS
application software to enhance its run-time performance.   During fiscal 1994-
1995, the Company submitted a patent application for the Accelerator  and began
market  research efforts to determine whether it could successfully be marketed
either as  a  stand-alone  product  or as a component of other vendors' product
offerings.  Accelerator is not being pursued by the Company at this time since,
to date, the Accelerator has not been  sold,  licensed,  or  installed  in  any
customer sites other than as a component of PrismCare LIS.

PRISMCARE LIS

     PrismCare   LIS   applications  automate  the  various  functions  of  the
laboratory and track the flow of events within the laboratory departments.  The
Company has previously marketed,  and  may continue to market, PrismCare LIS as
FAILSAFE LIS.  PrismCare LIS applications  collect and validate data; interface
with  and  respond  to requests for information  from  laboratory  instruments;
organize data to ease  their  interpretation  and  to  facilitate presentation;
generate  reports;  provide  quality  control  and  assurance   functions;  and
communicate  data  and  results  to various other departments of the  hospital.
Specifically, PrismCare LIS includes  the following three applications, each of
which  can operate independently or as a  part  of  an  integrated  information
system:    clinical,  microbiology  (not  yet  completed),  and  communications
modules.

     The Company  capitalized  approximately $2,483,000 in software development
costs through June 30, 1992, and  began  amortizing those costs over five years
in fiscal 1993.  At June 30, 1995, the Company  expensed  the  remaining  asset
value  of approximately $914,000 because the cost reduction strategies employed
by the Company  included  reduction  of  sales  and marketing staff and related
activities.

     In 1994, the Company completed one installation  of  PrismCare  LIS  which
comprised  the  clinical and communications applications.  The Company has also
sold an additional  license to the user based on throughput volume, and entered
into an agreement with  the  licensee  pursuant  to  which the Company provided
modifications  and  new  features  customized to the customer's  specifications
during fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996.

CORTEX LIS

     Cortex LIS is also a client-server  based  system  which  is  written in a
combination  of  programming languages and utilizes Novell NetWare and  MS  DOS
operating systems.   It  contains  clinical,  microbiology,  and communications
software applications which have fewer functions and run on smaller  local area
networks  with  less  powerful  file  servers  and  without  the larger storage
capacity of PrismCare LIS.  Cortex LIS has disk duplexing operation  protection
features  similar  to those of PrismCare LIS.  Cortex LIS is more suitable  and
affordable for smaller health care facilities which do not handle the volume of
transactions of larger facilities.  The Company currently has twelve  customers
with Cortex LIS installed.  The  Company  has  sold no new Cortex LIS system 

<PAGE>28

licenses since fiscal  1992  but  has continued to provide  annually  renewable 
software  and hardware maintenance  support  service  contracts  to  its  
existing Cortex LIS customer base.

CUSTOMERS

     The Company's present customer base includes those companies  to  which it
is  providing  services  in  one  of  the  previously-described  three  service
categories:   alternative  programming  resource services, software development
and   implementation  services,  and  software/hardware   maintenance   support
services.   A  small  number  of  customers  has  made  up  a  relatively large
percentage of the Company's total revenues for each of its fiscal  years.   The
Company's  principal  customers  (i.e.,  accounting  for  more  than 10% of its
revenues)  in  fiscal  1996  were  Osborn  Laboratories,  Inc.  and  EDS  which
constituted  approximately  41%  and  36%  of  the  Company's  total  revenues,
respectively.  In fiscal 1995, Osborn Laboratories, Inc., Cameron & Associates,
Inc.  (owned  by  affiliates), and Southside Hospital constituted approximately
27%, 17%, and 14% of  the  Company's  total  revenues,  respectively.   In  the
quarter  ended  September  30,  1996,  EDS,  TDI, and Osborn Laboratories, Inc.
constituted approximately 53%, 16%, and 11% of  the  Company's  total revenues,
respectively.   The  loss of any significant customer through cancellation  may
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results.

     Revenues from sales  to  customers  located outside the U.S., all of which
were  sales to Canadian customers, accounted  for  approximately  5%  of  total
revenues  in  fiscal  1995.   There  were  no  revenues from sales to customers
located outside the U.S. in fiscal 1996.

SALES

     During fiscal 1996, in connection with the  Company's  shift  in  focus to
contract programming and consulting, one product sales staff position and three
sales  support  staff  positions  were  eliminated.   The  Company's  executive
officers  and  certain technical staff members currently participate in selling
efforts by directly  contacting  potential  customers.   More  importantly, the
Company  relies  upon  and  benefits  from the efforts of third-party  business
partners  in  the sale and placement of foreign  contractors  in  new  customer
contracts and the management of such accounts after the sale.

     During fiscal  1995,  all of the Company's business came from direct sales
made  by the Company's sales  representatives  or  by  supplementary  sales  to
existing customers.

COMPETITION

ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMING RESOURCE SERVICES

     The   information   technology   temporary  services  industry  is  highly
competitive  with limited barriers to entry.   Within  local  markets,  smaller
firms actively  compete  with  the  Company  for business, and in most of these
markets no single company has a dominant share of the market.  The Company also
competes  with  larger full-service and specialized  competitors  in  national,
regional,  and  local  markets  which  have  significantly  greater  marketing,
financial, and other resources than the Company.

     However, due  to  the  niche  definition of its APR market segment and the
growing general shortage of legacy system  maintenance programmers, the Company
does not believe the external competition represents  the primary impediment to
its placement of FSU programmers in customer contracts.   Rather, the Company's
APR business is limited primarily by its ability to recruit, train, and present
qualified FSU contractor candidates to the customer and to obtain acceptance by
potential customers of using foreign contractors.  Qualification attributes for
placement  in U.S. customer contracts include the particular  technical  skills
and experience  corresponding  to  the  customer's  requirements and sufficient
English  language  skills to communicate effectively in  an  American  business
environment.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES

     The  market  for   providing   such   generalized   applications  software
development  and implementation services is highly competitive  and  fragmented
along industrial  and  technical  specialty  lines.   Competitive  advantage is
earned by developing core competencies in particular industry applications  and
in specific technology skill areas.

     The Company's industrial/application core competencies are in the areas of
laboratory   information   systems   and   complex,  rules-based  applications.
Complementing its application expertise is a  depth  of technical knowledge and
experience  in  PC  networks,  client-server  technologies,   object   oriented
technologies, Internet technologies, and system integration.

SOFTWARE/HARDWARE MAINTENANCE SUPPORT SERVICES

     The Company has a virtually exclusive market offering in this component of
its  services  business because it owns the licensing rights to the Cortex  LIS
software being maintained  and  supported.  Therefore, customers must renew the
Company's software license and maintenance support service agreements each year
in order to continue legally to operate  the  system.  Although the Company has
experienced a slow erosion of this customer base  during  the past two years as
some  former  customers have chosen to replace Cortex LIS with  new  laboratory
information systems, a critical mass of customers have continued to renew their
license and maintenance support service agreements each year.

     The Company  faces  competition  from  a  large number of hardware service
providers of many different sizes and specialties.   However, since most of the
remaining Cortex LIS customers desire single vendor support  for  software  and
hardware,  the  Company  has also retained the hardware maintenance business of
most of these customers.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

     All  of the Company's  software  systems  have  only  limited  proprietary
protection,  so it is possible that a competitor may develop systems similar to
the Company's  based  on its independent research and development.  The Company
also believes that the  size  and  complexity  of the software encompassing its
applications   would   make   unauthorized  use  of  its   systems   difficult.
Additionally, the Company includes  confidentiality  provisions and proprietary
ownership  disclosures  in  its customer and distributor  agreements,  and  its
software includes anti-pirating  features  to  protect  further  the  Company's
proprietary rights.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     The  Company's  operations are subject to various federal and state  laws.
The Company believes that  its  operations currently comply with such laws, but
there  can  be no assurance that subsequent  laws,  or  subsequent  changes  in
current laws  or legal interpretations, will not adversely affect the Company's
operations.  Certain applicable laws and regulations are described below.

     In connection  with  its APR program using FSU employees, the Company must
comply with the laws and regulations  of  the  United  States  Immigration  and
Naturalization Service (the "INS").  The Company has engaged the services of  a
business  immigration  lawyer  to  assist  in  the  filing  of  all appropriate
documents  necessary  for the Company to invite foreign workers to  the  United
States  for  contract programming  assignments.   While  the  Company  and  its
immigration lawyer  are  very  familiar with the current rules and regulations,
there can be no assurance that the  immigration  laws of the United States will
not be changed, resulting in a potentially negative  effect  on  the  Company's
ability to engage qualified FSU employees.

     The  FDA  has  indicated  that it may further regulate health care systems
beyond the blood bank area through  its  regional  FDA  offices.  This may have
some effect upon the Company's computer application systems  at customer sites.
Additionally,  the  Company  is  subject  to  certain laws regulating  clinical
laboratories under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement  Amendments  of 1968 (42
C.F.R. Part 405, et al.), which are enforced by the various states' Departments
of Health Services.  These laws set forth standards which must be complied with
by  laboratories  and  include  the laboratory systems provided by the Company.

<PAGE>30

The Company believes that its laboratory  systems  are  currently in compliance
with such laws.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     In  fiscal 1996, the Company incurred product development  costs  totaling
$657,437,  all  of  which  was  expensed as research and development costs.  In
fiscal  1995,  the  Company  incurred   product   development   costs  totaling
$2,017,876.   The  Company discontinued research and development during  fiscal
1996 and reassigned  employees  to  contract programming or service and support
activities.

HUMAN RESOURCES

     At  December 31, 1996, the Company  had  39  employees,  consisting  of  2
executive  officers,  5  contract programming and service/support personnel, 30
contract programming and service/support personnel in the United States on visa
from the former Soviet Union,  and  2  administrative  persons.   There  are  9
employees  employed  at the Company's headquarters in Sacramento, 6 at customer
locations in the Sacramento  area,  11  at  customer locations in Georgia, 6 at
customer  locations  in  Minnesota,  5 at customer  locations  in  El  Segundo,
California, and 2 at customer locations  in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  None of
the Company's employees is represented by  a labor union.  Management considers
its employee relations to be good.    

INSURANCE

     The annual coverage limits for the Company's  general  premises  liability
and  workers'  compensation  insurance  policies  are  $2,000,000 for liability
insurance  policies  and  $1,000,000  for  workers'  compensation.   Management
believes such limits are adequate for the Company's business.   However,  there
can  be  no assurance that potential claims will not exceed the limits on these
policies.

     The  Company   does  not  currently  have  product  errors  and  omissions
insurance.  A defect  in  the design or configuration of the company's products
or in the failure of a system  to  perform  the use which the Company specifies
for the system may subject the Company to claims  of liability.  Although as of
the date of this filing the Company has not experienced  any such claims, there
can be no assurance that claims will not arise in the future.

FACILITIES

     The  Company's  headquarters are located in Sacramento, California.  The
Company occupies approximately 6,200 square feet of office which it leases form
James W. Cameron, Jr.,  a  substantial  shareholder,  with  a  monthly  rent of
$5,335.  The lease expires in December 1997.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The  Company  was notified on March 16, 1995, by the staff of the regional
office of the Commission  that  the  regional office intended to recommend that
the Commission file a civil action against  the  Company seeking injunctive and
other relief.  The staff of the regional office indicated  that  the  complaint
would  allege  violations  of  various  disclosure  provisions  of  the Federal
securities laws in connection with the Company's registration statement on Form
S-18 that had become effective in August 1992.

     The Company and its attorney met with the Commission staff and the Company
proposed  a settlement of the complaint.  On September 30, 1996, the Commission
accepted the  Company's  offer  of settlement whereby it has consented, without
admitting or denying liability, to  a  cease  and desist order that it will not
commit or cause any future violation of certain Federal securities laws.

     In November 1993, a dispute arose between  the  Company  and  its Canadian
distributor, Centre de Traitement I.T.I. Omnitech Inc. ("Omnitech"),  which was
settled  in  April  1994 and resulted in, among other things, a renewal of  the

<PAGE>

Company's distribution  agreement  with  Omnitech.   The  Company  entered into
discussions  to renegotiate its contractual relationship with Omnitech.   These
discussions led  to  the  execution  of a letter agreement on January 27, 1995,
that modified certain provisions of the  April  1994  agreement.   In addition,
certain  minor  changes  were agreed to in a letter dated March 22, 1995.   The
Company has continued to discuss certain issues regarding the interpretation of
provisions of their agreement.   On May 15, 1995, the Company received a letter
from Omnitech declaring an event of  default  based  on  the  Company's alleged
failure to deliver a specified number of shares of the Company's  Common  Stock
pursuant  to the agreement.  Within approximately sixty days, the subject stock
certificates  issuable  to  Omnitech  were  delivered  by the transfer agent to
Omnitech.  On January 5, 1996, Omnitech sent a letter to the Company indicating
that  Omnitech  intended  to  file  a lawsuit against the Company  and  others,
stating a number of claims.  Omnitech  indicated their belief that the value of
these claims exceeds $5.0 million.  The  Company  believes  that  Omnitech  has
breached  the  contract and intends to vigorously defend itself if a lawsuit is
filed.  The Company  has offered to settle the dispute, but the Distributor has
not responded to the Company's offer.

     The expense of defending  any  lawsuit  in  connection with this agreement
will place additional strains on the Company's resources  and cash position and
the  Company may be required to seek protection under federal  bankruptcy  laws
should  Omnitech  pursue  its  claims through litigation.  Moreover, due to the
Company's current and projected  cash  position, the Company may not be able to
satisfy an adverse verdict in this matter that obligates the Company to pay any
significant damages to Omnitech.  In the event an adverse verdict is the result
of this dispute, the Company may be required  to  seek protection under federal
bankruptcy laws.

     The  Company was served with a lawsuit filed on  September  17,  1993,  in
Sacramento  County  Superior  Court against it and others by a former employee.
The  lawsuit alleged sexual harassment  and  wrongful  termination  and  sought
general  and special damages of $2.0 million plus undisclosed punitive damages.
On May 27,  1995,  the  Company  reached  a settlement with the former employee
pursuant to which the Company caused its insurer  to  deliver a cash payment to
the former employee.  The Company issued 25,000 shares  of  unregistered common
stock to the former employee subsequent to the settlement being approved by the
Superior Court in July 1995.

     In  July  1994, the Company received a formal request for  indemnification
from one of the  individual  defendants  as it pertains to the lawsuit filed on
September 17, 1993, in Sacramento County Superior  Court  discussed above.  The
Company  denied  that  it had any obligation and the matter was  submitted  for
determination  by an arbitrator  in  accordance  with  certain  indemnification
agreements between  the  Company and the individual.  The arbitrator determined
that the Company had an obligation  to  pay  for  the  cost  of  defense of the
individual.   Based  on  this  ruling,  the  Company  reimbursed the individual
approximately $93,000 for expenses he had incurred in defending  the action and
will  pay his continuing defense costs.  However, the Company has reserved  its
right to  seek  reimbursement  of  these  amounts  from  the  individual  under
appropriate circumstances.  On June 19, 1995, the Company received a demand  by
the  individual  seeking reimbursement of fees and settlement costs incurred by
the individual and  his  insurer.   On  August  18,  1995, the Company formally
rejected that demand.  The Company does not believe that  the  outcome  of this
matter will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results
of operations.

     The  Company  also received a demand for indemnification of legal expenses
for separate counsel  from  the other individual defendant in the lawsuit filed
on September 17, 1993, in Sacramento  County  Superior  Court  discussed above.
The Company had been providing a defense to this individual through its counsel
and  disputed that it had an obligation to provide for separate counsel.   This
matter was resolved by the Company's agreement to provide for separate counsel.
The Company  has  reimbursed  the  former  officer  approximately  $41,000  for
expenses  he had incurred in defending the action.  In August 1995, the Company
received notification  from  the  individual's law firm that the Company was in
arrears of approximately $12,000 in  its  obligation  to reimburse the firm for
fees and expenses in defending the individual and has arranged  for terms under
which such amount will be paid.  The Company does not believe that  the outcome
of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or
results of operations.

     In  April  1994,  the  Company entered into a settlement agreement with  a
former officer and director (the  "Former  Officer")  and  a former consultant,
officer,  and  director (the "Former Consultant") in connection  with  disputes
concerning outstanding  compensation, expense reimbursement, equity entitlement
issues, and ownership of the Company's proprietary software.  In November 1994,

<PAGE>32

the Former Officer and Former Consultant asserted that the Company had breached
certain of its obligations  under  the settlement agreement.  In February 1995,
the  Company  cured  any alleged default  under  the  settlement  agreement  by
fulfilling certain nonmaterial  obligations  to  the  Former Officer and Former
Consultant.   In addition, the Former Consultant asserted  claims  against  the
Company and numerous  other  parties  under  a  variety  of legal theories.  On
February 17, 1995, the Former Consultant demanded payment  of  $1.9  million in
settlement  of all outstanding claims.  On June 12, 1995, the Former Consultant
filed a lawsuit  in  Sacramento  County Superior Court against the Company, its
then-current directors, James Cameron, Jr., the Former Consultant's stockbroker
and brokerage firm, and one of the  Company's large customers.  The lawsuit set
forth twenty causes of action based on  a  variety of legal theories and sought
in excess of $15.0 million in damages, plus  punitive  damages.   On August 21,
1995, the Superior Court granted petitions to compel arbitration filed  by  the
Company's  defendants  and  Mr.  Cameron  which  petitions  were  based  on the
arbitration  provision  of the April 1994 Settlement Agreement.  The Court also
granted a similar motion  filed  by  the  Former  Consultant's  stockbroker and
brokerage  firm.   The  litigation  of  the  case in Superior Court was  stayed
pending the outcome of the arbitration of all  claims  set forth in the action.
In  February  1996,  the  Arbitration Panel entered its order  dismissing  with
prejudice all of the claims  made  against  the  Company's  defendants  and Mr.
Cameron,  and  awarded the Company recovery of a portion of its fees and costs.
On July 26, 1996, the Superior Court confirmed the Arbitration Panel's order of
dismissal and fee  award.  On September 10, 1996, the Company was notified that
the Former Consultant  had  filed  a  Notice  of  Appeal  with the 3rd District
Appellate Court.  The Company does not believe that the outcome  of this matter
will  have  a  material adverse impact on its financial position or results  of
operations.

                                  MANAGEMENT

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

     The names and  ages of the Executive Officers and Directors of the Company
as of December 31, 1996,  and  certain  information about such persons, are set
forth below.  The Company's Bylaws provide for a Board of Directors of not less
than three nor more than seven members, with  the  actual  number  to be set by
resolution  of  the Board.  Each of the Company's Directors is elected  at  the
annual meeting of  shareholders of the Company and serves until the next annual
meeting, until such  person's successor is elected and qualified, or until such
person's earlier death, resignation, or removal.        

     Executive Officers  are  appointed  by, and serve at the discretion of the
Board of Directors.  The Company has not paid any fees or other remuneration to
the Directors for their services as Directors.   The  Directors  who are not an
employee  of  the  Company do, however, receive upon their initial election  or
appointment an automatic  grant  of  a  stock  Option,  subject to a three-year
vesting period, to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock  at  an exercise price
equal to the fair market value on the date of the appointment or election under
the Company's 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.  Furthermore, beginning in
the third year as a Director, each Director who is re-elected to  the  Board of
Directors  will receive an automatic grant of a stock option to purchase  1,000
shares of Common  Stock, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on
the date of re-election.   Such subsequent grant of 1,000 shares shall continue
each  year  of  re-election  until   the  plan  expires  in  2003.   No  family
relationship exists between any of the Officers or Directors.    

     On September 17, 1996, the Board  of  Directors  granted  a  non-statutory
option  to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an  exercise
price of  $2.00  per  share to Edward L. Lammerding, Chairman of the Board. The
option vests over 3 years and expires on September 17, 2001.

     On December 31, 1996,  Mr.  W. Robert Keen became Chief Executive Officer.
In exchange for his services, Mr.  Keen received 225,000 shares of Common Stock
and will be entitled to receive on a quarterly basis options to purchase 80,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise  price  equal to the fair market value as
of the date of grant up to an aggregate of 320,000  shares  pursuant  to one of
the  Company's  stock  option  plans.   The  225,000 shares of Common Stock are
subject  to  forfeiture in the event Mr. Keen voluntarily  leaves  the  Company
prior to January  1,  1998,  and  the  quarterly  options  to  purchase  in the
aggregate of 320,000 shares of Common Stock are subject to shareholder approval
of  an  amendment  to  the  Company's  stock  option  plan  allowing  for  such
issuance.

and result of  their audit, fees for services and independence in servicing the
Company.  The Management Committee consisted of Messrs. Faust and Lammerding in
fiscal 1996 and held no meetings during fiscal 1996.  The Management 
Committee  may  exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors in 
management of the Company,  except for matters expressly reserved by law for 
action by the Board of Directors.

     During fiscal 1996, the Board  of Directors met twelve times.  During this
period, there were no members of the Board of Directors who attended fewer than
seventy-five  percent  of the meetings  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  all
committees of the Board on which they served.

1996.

SPECIAL STOCK OPTION PLAN

       In  June  1993, the Board  of  Directors  adopted  the Special Stock 
Option  Plan  which authorizes 18,800 shares of Common Stock for the grant of
options.   In  June  1993, the Board  of  Directors  granted  options with 
respect to 18,715 shares  of  Common  Stock  to  approximately   43  employees. 
Options to purchase 13,801 shares of Common Stock  under  the Special  Stock  
Option  Plan  were canceled through April 10, 1996, at which time the remaining 
4,913 options were canceled and reissued under the 1993 Stock Option/Stock 
Issuance Plan.  The  reissued  options  have  a $0.78125  option  price,  the
closing market price on that day,  after giving effect to the Company's one-for-
ten consolidation of Common Stock.

1993 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN

       The 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance  Plan  (the "1993 Plan"),  
pursuant to which key employees (including officers) and consultants  of  the
Company and the non-employee members of the Board of Directors  may  acquire
an equity interest in the  Company,  was  adopted  by the Board  of  
Directors  and Shareholders during 1993.

       An aggregate of 400,000  shares  of  Common  Stock are reserved  for 
issuance  over  the  ten year term of the 1993 Plan.  However, no officer of 
the Company  may be issued more than 200,000 shares of Common Stock under the 
1993 Plan.  The 1993  Plan  contains  three  separate  components:    (i)   a
Discretionary  Option Grant Program under which key employees and consultants

<PAGE>36

may  be  granted  options to purchase Common Stock;  (ii) an Automatic Option
Grant  Program  under  which option grants  will  be  made  at  periodic 
intervals to non-employee Board members; and (iii) a  Stock  Issuance  Program
under  which  eligible  individuals  may  be issued shares of Common Stock, 
either through immediate purchase or as a bonus based on performance criteria.
The 1993 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.  The shares 
issuable under the 1993 Plan will either be shares of the Company's authorized
but previously unissued Common  Stock  or  shares of Common Stock reacquired 
by the Company, including shares  purchased on the open  market  and held as 
treasury shares.  As of June 30, 1996, approximately 85,711 shares are 
available under the 1993 Plan for grant.

       During fiscal 1996,  the  Company  granted  options to purchase 37,500
and 27,000 shares of Common Stock for Messrs. Van Derven and Alexander, 
respectively.  In addition,  during fiscal  1996,  Mr.  O'Neil  received options
to acquire 5,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Automatic Option Grant 
Program of the 1993 Plan.  Further,  during  fiscal 1996, the Compensation  
Committee agreed to reprice previously  granted options to Messrs. Van Derven, 
Alexander and Faust of 70,000, 20,000, and 5,000  shares, respectively, at 
$.78125 per share which represented the  closing  price of the Company's Common
Stock  as  of that date.  During the  second  quarter  ending December 31, 
1996, Mr. Lammerding received options to acquire 1,000 shares of Common Stock
and Mr. Keen received options to acquire  5,000   shares  of  Common  Stock  
pursuant  to  the Automatic Option Grant Program of the 1993 Plan.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN ("LTIP") AWARDS

       The Company  does  not  have and has not had any long-term incentive 
plans.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMPENSATION  COMMITTEE   OF  THE  BOARD  OF
DIRECTORS ON THE REPRICING OF OPTIONS

       The  Company  currently has the Special  Stock  Option Plan and the 
1993 Stock  Option/Stock Issuance Plan which are administered by the 
Compensation  Committee.  The purposes of these  plans  are  to (1) align the
interest  of  management, employees, and shareholders  to  build  shareholder
value by encouragement  of  consistent,  long-term growth; (2) attract and 
retain key executive officers  essential to the long-term success  of  the 
Company; (3) reward executive  officers  for long-term corporate  success by 
facilitating their ability to acquire an ownership interest in the Company;
(4) provide direct linkage between the compensation payable to  executive
officers and the Company's attainment of annual and long-term financial goals
and  targets; and (5) emphasize regard  for performance at the individual and 
corporate level.

       During fiscal 1995,  the  Company  granted options to purchase 57,890 
shares of the Company's Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $6.25 to  
$10.00  per  share  to employees  and officers.  Due to the poor financial 
condition of the Company,  the  price  of  the  Company's  Common Stock 
substantially  decreased.   As  a  result, many employees  no longer felt 
that they had a financial interest in the Company because their options were 
"out of the  money"  and  left the Company.   In  an  effort  to  retain  
quality employees, the Compensation Committee, on April 10, 1996,  repriced  
options to  acquire  115,922  shares  of  Common Stock to $.78125 per share, 
the closing market price that  day.   Of  the  115,922 shares  repriced,  
70,000  were attributed to Mr. Van Derven, 25,000  were  attributed to Mr.  
Alexander,  and  5,000  were attributed to Dr. Faust.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

       Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides for the 
indemnification  of  officers,  directors, employees, and other  corporate  
agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under  certain
circumstances for   liabilities   (including   reimbursement   of  expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act.  Article  Seventh of  the  
Registrant's  Amended  and  Restated  Certificate of Incorporation  and  
Section  7.7  of the Registrant's  Bylaws provide  for  indemnification to 
the  extent  and  under  the circumstances  permitted  by  Section  145  of  
the  Delaware General Corporation Law.

       Article  Sixth   of  the  Registration's  Amended  and Restated 
Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of its 
directors to the fullest extent permitted by paragraph (7) of subsection (b)
of Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware,  as  the same may 

<PAGE>37

be amended and supplemented.  Section 102(b)(7) of  the  General Corporation
Law  of  Delaware  provides for the elimination  of  personal liability of 
directors to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages  for  
any  breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for:  (i) any breach  of 
the duty of loyalty to  the  Corporation  or  its  stockholders; (ii) acts  or
omissions  not  in  good  faith  or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation  of  law; (iii) liability under  Section  174  of the 
Delaware General Corporation  Law (involving certain unlawful  dividends or 
stock repurchases); or (iv) any transaction from which  the  director  
derived an improper personal benefit.

                   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

                               SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK

On November 18, 1994, the Company entered into a series of agreements for the
purchase of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with James W. Cameron, Jr. 
and Dr. Max Negri, two existing stockholders.  The transaction included a 
debt to equity conversion of $2,232,856 and an additional aggregate cash 
investment of $1,215,004 in exchange for the issuance of 287,322 shares of 
Series E Preferred Stock.

On December 1, 1995, the holders of all the outstanding shares of the 
Company's Series E Preferred Stock tendered those shares for conversion into 
22,335,933 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the 
Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT UNITS

       In February 1995, the Cameron Foundation, an existing stockholder, 
purchased 105,000 units at $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share
of the Company's Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Common 
Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share or $7.50 below the last 
trading price on the date of the notice of exercise, whichever is lower.  
In March 1995, when the trading price was under $7.50, the Cameron Foundation
exercised its warrant for no additional consideration.

FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

       Mr. Cameron is the guarantor of the Company's line of credit with a 
bank (the "Continuing Guaranty").  As consideration for the execution of the 
Continuing Guaranty, the Company entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with Mr.
Cameron pursuant to which a designee of Mr. Cameron received a warrant to 
purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of 
$15.00 per share.  Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, in the event that
Mr. Cameron is required to pay the bank any monies under the Continuing 
Guaranty, the Company is required to repay Mr. Cameron the amount of each 
payment by either 1) paying an equal cash amount or 2) issuing to Mr. Cameron
a non-convertible note (the "Straight Note") in the principal amount of such 
payment by Mr. Cameron, bearing interest at an interest rate equal to the 
interest rate of the line of credit on the date of such payment and subject 
to adjustment when and to the extent that the interest rate prevailing under 
the line of credit may change.

       Furthermore, under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, upon 
written demand by Mr. Cameron, the Straight Note will be replaced by a 
convertible note (the "Convertible Note") in a principal amount equal to the 
Straight Note and bearing interest at the same rate.  The conversion ratio of
the Convertible Note is equal to the "Applicable Percentage," as defined in 
the Reimbursement Agreement, multiplied by the average trading price of the 
Company's Common Stock over the period of ten trading days ending on the 
trading day next preceding the date of issuance of such Convertible Note.  The
Applicable Percentage, which was originally 50%, has been reduced to 20% per
the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement due to the Bank extending the 
maturity date of the line of credit. The Applicable Percentage may not be 
reduced below 20%.

       During fiscal 1996, the Company borrowed $738,752 primarily from the 

<PAGE>38

Cameron Foundation and the Negri Foundation, two existing stockholders, 
pursuant to three unsecured promissory notes.  During the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996, the Company borrowed $173,000 from the Cameron Foundation
and from James W. Cameron, Jr.  During the second quarter, the Company 
borrowed $255,000 from James W. Cameron, Jr. and $38,900 from the Negri 
Trust.  All of these notes mature on the earlier of December 31, 1997, or such
time as the Company obtains equity financing, and bear interest at 10.25%.  
Beginning in October 1996, the Company is required to make monthly interest 
payments totaling $12,724 on three of the notes.     

OTHER

       In July 1994, the Company entered into an interim working agreement 
with Cameron & Associates, Inc., which is owned by Mr. Cameron and Dr. Negri,
to provide computer systems design, integration and operations in connection 
with a Cameron & Associates, Inc. contract for provision of health care 
information systems in Russia.  In February 1995, the systems integration and
detailed design activities project was discontinued and the entire project was 
phased out over a period of sixty days.  The Company was reimbursed at cost for 
expenditures incurred under this agreement.

       Beginning in November 1995, the Company leased office space from Mr. 
Cameron.  The current lease is for approximately 6,200 square feet, provides 
for $5,335 in monthly rent, and expires in December 1997.


                                SELLING STOCKHOLDERS    

       The shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders may be 
offered for sale from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale or at negotiated prices, and without payment of any underwriting 
discounts or commissions except for usual and customary selling commissions 
paid to brokers or dealers.  The Company will not receive any proceeds from 
the sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders.

       Under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of the 
shares of Common Stock of the Company offered by this Prospectus may not 
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common 
Stock of the Company during the applicable "cooling off" periods prior to the
commencement of such distribution.  In addition, and without limiting the 
foregoing, each Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions 
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder including, without
limitation, Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, which provisions may limit the timing of 
purchases and sales of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders.

       With regard to the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders such 
shares may be sold on the over-the-counter market or in private transactions 
at prices to be determined at the time of sale.  Such shares may be offered 
through broker-dealers, acting on the Selling Stockholders' behalf, who may 
offer the shares at then current market prices.  Any sales may be by block 
trade.  The Selling Stockholders and any brokers, dealers or others who 
participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of such shares of
Common Stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the 
Securities Act, and any commissions or fees received by such persons and any 
profit on the resale of such shares purchased by such persons may be deemed 
to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  
Sales may be made by all Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Registration 
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

       The following table identifies the Selling Stockholders, as of 
December 31, 1996, after giving effect to the Company's one-for-ten 
consolidation of Common Stock as approved by the stockholders on that date, 
and indicates (i) the nature of any material relationship that such Selling
Stockholders have had with the Company for the past three years; (ii) the 
number of shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders; (iii) the 
amount to be offered for the Selling Stockholders' account; and (iv) the 
number of shares and percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock to be
owned by the Selling Stockholders after the sale of the Common Stock offered 
by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Offering.  The Selling 
Stockholders are not obligated to sell their Common Stock offered in this 
Prospectus and may choose to sell all, part, or none of their shares.

                             DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     As of December 31, 1996, the authorized capital stock of the Company 
consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and
1,200,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $6.00 per share.  The 
stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of 
Incorporation to provide for a one-for-ten share consolidation and reduce
the number of authorized shares of common stock to 100 million effective 
December 2, 1996.    

COMMON STOCK

     Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all 
matters to be voted upon by the stockholders.  Common stockholders are 
entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from 
time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available 
therefor, subject to the payment of any preferential dividends declared with 
respect to any Preferred Stock that from time to time may be outstanding.  
See "Dividend Policy."  The Common Stock has no preemptive or conversion 
rights or other subscription rights and there are no redemptive or sinking 
fund provisions application to the Common Stock.  All outstanding shares of 
Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and all the shares of Common 
Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of outstanding warrants will, 
when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable.

     As of December 31, 1996, the number of shares of Common Stock 
Outstanding was 25,490,056.    

PREFERRED STOCK

     The Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 1,200,000 shares of 
Preferred Stock, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, in
one or more series, and to fix the rights, preferences, and privileges and 
qualifications thereof (including, without limitation, voting rights and the 
limitation or exclusion thereof).  The issuance of Preferred Stock could 
decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to 
holders of Common Stock or adversely affect the rights and powers, including
voting rights, of the holders of Common Stock, and may have the effect of 
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in the control of the Company.

<PAGE>42

     Of the 1,200,000 authorized shares of the Preferred Stock, 225,000 are 
designated Series D Preferred Stock of which 204,167 were outstanding as of 
December 31, 1996.     

      Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of
the holder thereof, at any time into six-tenth shares of Common Stock, 
subject to certain adjustments.  Holders of Series D Preferred Stock are 
entitled to receive cumulative dividends of $0.60 per year per share which 
accrue beginning July 1, 1994, and are payable quarterly to the extent 
permitted by law.  Holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to vote 
together with holders of the Common Stock on an as converted basis (i.e., 
each share of Preferred Stock represents the voting equivalent of six-tenth 
shares of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments), have liquidation 
preferences and have special voting rights with respect to certain matters.

WARRANTS

     In connection with the private sale of Preferred Stock in March 1992, 
the Company sold Class A Warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock 
which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $81,000.  In 
January of 1994, Class A Warrants to purchase 34,400 shares of Common Stock 
were amended into new warrants (the "Conversion Warrants") exercisable at $15.00
per share (see below).  The remaining Class A Warrants are exercisable at 
$25.00 per share.  In the event the Company attains net income after 
provision for income taxes in excess of $500,000 in a quarterly period (the 
"Quarterly Goal"), the Company will have 15 days to notify the warrant 
holders of any intent it may have to redeem all Class A Warrants which are 
not exercised by the end of a specified period (not less than 30 days from 
delivery of such notice).  The redemption price of the Class A Warrants will 
be $.20 per share.  If the Company fails to deliver such notice within the 
required 15-day period, it will lose its right to redeem the outstanding Class A
Warrants until the next quarter in which the Company reaches the Quarterly Goal.

     In May 1992, the Company issued additional Class A Warrants to purchase 
4,000 shares of Common Stock to an individual in consideration for certain 
financial consulting services.  All of these warrants were amended into 
Conversion Warrants in January of 1994 (see below).

     In June 1992, the Company issued additional Class A Warrants to purchase 
6,250 shares of Common Stock to stockholders in exchange for loan guarantees 
in the aggregate amount of $250,000.  All of these warrants were amended into
Conversion Warrants in January of 1994 (see below).

     Prior to the Company's offer to amend the Class A Warrants into 
Conversion Warrants, the Company offered each of the Class A Warrant holders 
a non-redeemable Class B Warrant to purchase 50% of the number of shares that
they were entitled to purchase through the exercise of their Class A 
Warrants, equal to an aggregate of 25,125 shares of Common Stock, in exchange
for the execution and delivery by each Class A Warrant holder of a release of
any claims that he or she may have against the Company for the late 
registration of the Common Stock underlying the Class A Warrants.  Holders of
31 Class A Warrants covering 47,840 shares signed releases and 23,925 Class B
Warrants were issued.  In January of 1994, Class B Warrants to purchase 
22,325 shares of Common Stock were amended into Conversion Warrants 
exercisable at $15.00 per share (see below).  The remaining Class B Warrants 
are exercisable through April 22, 1998, at a price of $28.80 per share.  As 
of June 30, 1996, the Company has not received claims from any of the warrant 
holders who did not sign releases, nor does the Company believe that the 
ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material effect on its results of
operations or financial position.

     On February 16, 1993, the Company issued an aggregate of five Class C 
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,500 shares of Common Stock in 
settlement of a dispute with a group of individuals and an organization who 
have claimed that they were entitled to receive a finder's fee in connection 
with the Company's March 1992 private placement.  In January of 1994, all of the
Class C Warrants were amended into Conversion Warrants exercisable at $15.00 
per share (see below).

     In connection with the Company's initial public offering, the Company 
issued Class D Warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock to the 
underwriter.  In January of 1994, all of the Class D Warrants were amended 
into 8,400 Conversion Warrants exercisable at $15.00 per share (see below).

<PAGE>43

     In December of 1993, the Company offered the holders of the Class A, B, 
C and D Warrants the right to have their warrants amended to reduce the 
exercise price to $15.00, to provide an early termination (call) feature at 
the Company's option and to change the number of shares subject to warrant.  
The amended warrants, (the "Conversion Warrants"), were issued in January of 
1994.

     The following table summarizes the number of shares subject to 
outstanding warrants at June 30, 1996:

                                                            Amended Terms-
                              ORIGINAL TERMS             CONVERSION WARRANTS

Class A                           5,600                         85,200
Class B                           1,600                         37,062

Class D                             --                           8,400


     The Conversion Warrants have a $15.00 exercise price and are immediately
callable by the Company at its sole discretion; however, in no event may the 
Conversion Warrants be exercised later than December 31, 1997.  During fiscal
year 1995, Conversion Warrants to purchase 2,449 shares of common stock were 
exercised.

     On June 16, 1993, the Company issued two Class E Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 1,455 shares of Common Stock in connection with note payable 
agreements with an officer and an employee of the Company.  The notes payable
were repaid by the Company during fiscal 1994.  The warrants are immediately 
exercisable at a price of $13.75 per share through June 15, 1998.  During 
fiscal year 1996, a warrant to purchase 1 share of common stock was exercised.

     On July 7, 1993, the Company issued two warrants to purchase an 
aggregate of 8,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with note payable

exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share through July 7, 1998.  During 
fiscal year 1996, a warrant to purchase 2 shares of common stock was exercised.

     On February 28, 1994, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an 
aggregate of 10,000 shares of Common Stock to the designee of James W. 
Cameron, Jr. in exchange for a line of credit guarantee in the amount of 
$2,000,000.  The warrant is immediately exercisable at a price of $15.00 per 
share through February 28, 1999.

     On April 6, 1994, the Company issued two warrants to purchase an 
aggregate of 115,286 shares of Common Stock to a former officer and a former 
consultant in connection with the settlement of a claim by the former officer
and the former consultant.  The warrants are exercisable at a price of $15.00
per share and had an estimated fair market value of $645,599 which was 
charged to operations in fiscal 1994.  In addition, the Company issued two 
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 32,500 shares of Common Stock at an 
exercise price of $0.01 per share to these individuals in connection with the
same settlement agreement.  These warrants had an estimated fair market value
of $438,750 which was charged to operations in fiscal 1994.  All of the 
warrants are immediately exercisable through April 15, 1999.  In August 1995,
the former officer exercised one of these warrants for 20,000 shares of 
Common Stock, and in December 1995 he exercised another warrant for 2 shares 
of Common Stock.

     In August 1993, the Board of Directors approved the issuance to 
stockholders of record on September 7, 1993 a Common Stock warrant with an
exercise price of $25.00 per share for the same number of shares of Common 
Stock which each stockholder of record held on September 7, 1993, which 
totaled 321,308 shares (the "Special Warrants").  The Special Warrants are 
immediately exercisable and are subject to an early termination (call) 
feature by the Company.  The Special Warrants are callable by the Company if
the Market Price of the Company's Common Stock, as defined in the warrant, 

<PAGE>44

is $32.50 per share for any ten consecutive trading days.  In no event may the
Special Warrants be exercised later than December 31, 1997.

     In July 1994, the Company agreed to issue two warrants to a strategic 
partner each exercisable for 132,618 shares at $30.00 per share and $50.00

however, the Company recorded $345,000 in expense during the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 for these warrants.

     In November 1994, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares 
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share as part of the sale 
of units sold to an investor in a private placement.  The warrant is immediately
exercisable through December 31, 1997.

     The Company sold a warrant to purchase 4,200 shares of Common Stock at 
an exercise price of $25.00 per share in February 1995 to a brokerage firm.  
The warrant is immediately exercisable through December 31, 1997.  The 
Company received $2,100 and a release of all claims by the brokerage firm.

     The Company sold a warrant to purchase 107 shares of Common Stock at an 
exercise price of $25.00 per share in June 1995 to a brokerage firm.  The 
warrant is immediately exercisable through December 31, 1997.  The Company 
received $54 and a release of all claims by the brokerage firm.

     In February 1995, the Company issued warrants to purchase 147,500 shares
of Common Stock as part of the sale of units sold to several investors in
a private placement at the exercise price of $15.00 per share or $7.50 below 
the last trading price on the date of the notice of exercise, whichever is 
lower.  These warrants have all been exercised, and the Company received no 
proceeds upon the exercise of these warrants since the trading price at the 
time of exercise was less than $7.50 per share.

     In June 1995, the Company negotiated an equity for debt swap agreement 
with a service provider whereby the service provider agreed to accept a 
warrant to purchase, at $1.00 per share, the number of shares of the Common 
Stock of the Company equal to 1.85% of the number of issued and outstanding 
shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable 
pursuant to outstanding options, warrants, conversion provisions and other 
rights to purchase Common Stock as of the date of exercise.  This warrant
expires on December 31, 2004.  The amount of debt converted into equity as a 
result of this transaction was $521,510.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

     The ability of the Company's Board of Directors to issue the authorized 
shares of Common Stock to pro-management third parties without obtaining 
consent of the stockholders may have the effect of discouraging persons from 
pursuing a non-negotiated takeover of the Company and preventing certain 
changes in control.

     The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General 
Corporation Law ("Section 203").  In general, Section 203 prohibits certain 
publicly held Delaware corporations from engaging in a "business combination"
with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the 
date of the transaction in which the person or entity became an interested 
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed 
manner.  For purposes of Section 203, "business combination" is defined 
broadly to include mergers, asset sales, and other transactions resulting in 
a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.  An "interested 
stockholder" is any person or entity who, together with affiliates and 
associates, owns (or within the three immediately preceding years did own) 
15% or more of the Company's voting stock.  The provisions of Section 203 
requiring a super majority vote to approve certain corporate transactions 
could enable a minority of the Company's stockholders to exercise veto powers
over such transactions.

     The Company's Bylaws provide that vacancies on the Board of Directors may 
only be filled by the vote of a majority of the members of the Board.

     The Company's Bylaws require a vote of the holders of two-thirds or more
of the outstanding shares before certain actions may be effected, if two-
thirds of the Board of Directors have not previously approved such action.  

<PAGE>45

These actions include:  (i) mergers or consolidations of the Company; 
(ii) sales, leases, exchanges, or other dispositions of substantial assets; 
(iii) issuances of securities to another corporation in exchange for cash, 
other stock or securities; or (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company.  The Bylaws provide that they may be amended by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the members of the Board or by the vote of the holders of 
two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares.

     The above provisions may have the effect of delaying or making it more 
difficult for a stockholders or group of stockholders to take corporate 
actions to gain control of the Company.

                           TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

     The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Company's Common Stock is 
American Securities Transfer & Trust, Inc., located at 1825 Lawrence
Street, Suite 444, Denver, Colorado, 80202-1817, 
telephone number (303) 234-5300.

                                    LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling 
Stockholders and the Company will be passed upon by Bartel Eng Linn & 
Schroder, Sacramento, California.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements  have  been  
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles for 
interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include  
all  of  the  information  and footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted
accounting  principles for complete  financial statements.  For further 
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the  Company's  annual  report  on Form   10-KSB   for   the  fiscal  year
ended June 30, 1996.

In  the opinion of management,  the  unaudited condensed  financial statements  
contain  all adjustments  considered  necessary  to present fairly  the  
Company's  financial position  at September 30, 1996, results  of operations for
the   three  month  periods  ended   September 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash 
flows for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  The results  
for  the  period  ended September 30, 1996,  are not necessarily indicative  
of  the results  to  be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 
1997.

The financial  statements  and  notes  thereto also  include  the  effect  of
a  one-for-ten consolidation  of  the  Company's  outstanding Common Stock, 
par value $0.01 per share, which became  effective  on  December  2, 1996.   
In addition, effective on December 2,  1996,  the Company  changed  its  name
from 3Net Systems, Inc.,  to  Alternative  Technology  Resources, Inc., and 
the number of authorized  shares  of Common  Stock  was reduced from 
200,000,000 to 100,000,000.

NOTE 2 - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

   The Company has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit with a bank due in 
monthly installments of interest only at the bank's reference rate plus 1.0% 
(9.25% at September 30, 1996).  In June 1996, the maturity date of the line 
of credit was extended from July 1, 1996, to January 1, 1997.  In December 1996,
the bank verbally extended the maturity date from January 1, 1997, until such
time as James W. Cameron, Jr. can conclude negotiations with the bank to 
become the named borrower under the line of credit.  The Company's obligations
under the line of credit are guaranteed by shareholder James W. Cameron, Jr. 
The line of credit was fully utilized as of September 30, 1996.   Among other
covenants, the line of credit prohibits  the  Company from incurring 
additional debt (other than  to the Bank) with the Bank's written consent.  
At  September 30, 1996,  the  Company  was in technical  default under the 
terms of the  line of credit because of additional borrowing from two 
stockholders, Cameron and Negri, borrowing  of approximately $15,000 to 
purchase automobiles and financing approximately $19,000 related to royalty
payments due St. Agnes Hospital.      

   Through September 30, 1996, the Company borrowed $911,752 from two 
shareholders, Cameron and Negri, pursuant to seven unsecured promissory 
notes.   All  the  notes  mature on December 31, 1996 and bear interest at  
10.25% per  annum.   Beginning  in  October 1996, the Company  is required to
make monthly  interest payments totaling  $12,724  on  three  of  the notes. 
In  December  1996, Cameron and Negri extended the maturity  date  on  these

notes  payable  from December 31, 1996 to  the  earlier of December 31, 1997,
or such time as the  Company obtains equity financing.    

NOTE 3 -  EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

On November 18, 1994, the Company entered into a  series  of  agreements for 
the purchase  of Series E Convertible  Preferred Stock with two existing 
stockholders, one of whom is a former director.  The transaction  included a 
debt to equity   conversion  of  $2,232,856   and   an additional  aggregate 
investment of $1,215,004 in exchange for the issuance of 287,322 shares of 
Series E Preferred  Stock.   On December 1, 1995,  the  holders  of  all  the
outstanding shares  of  the  Company's  Series E Preferred Stock  tendered  
those  shares for  conversion into 22,335,933 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, pursuant to the terms  of  the Series E Preferred Stock Purchase 
Agreement.  As of the conversion date, 20,000,000 common shares were 
authorized;  therefore,  5,220,057 shares  are recorded  as  Common  Stock to 
be  issued  at September 30, 1996, until  such  time  as  the number of 
authorized shares were increased on December 2, 1996 (Note 1).

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES

SUIT FROM FORMER CONSULTANT

   In April  1994,  the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a 
former officer and director (the "Former  Officer")  and a former consultant,
officer and director (the "Former Consultant") in connection with disputes
concerning outstanding  compensation,  expense reimbursement,  equity 
entitlement issues  and ownership   of   the   Company's   proprietary 
software.   In  November   1994,   the  Former Officer  and  Former 
Consultant asserted  that the  Company  had   breached  certain  of  its
obligations  under the  settlement  agreement.  In  February 1995,  the 
Company believes it cured any alleged default under the settlement agreement 
by fulfilling certain nonmaterial obligations to the Former Officer and the 
Former Consultant.  In addition, the Former Consultant asserted claims 
against the Company and numerous other parties under a variety of legal 
theories.  On June 12, 1995, the Former Consultant filed a lawsuit in 
Sacramento County Superior Court against the Company, its then-current 
directors, James W. Cameron, Jr., the Former Consultant's stockbroker
and brokerage firm and one of the Company's largest customers.  The lawsuit
set forth twenty causes of action based on a variety of legal theories and 
sought in excess of $15.0 million in damages plus punitive damages.  In 
August 1995, the Superior Court granted petitions to compel arbitration filed
by the Company's defendants and Mr. Cameron which petitions were based on 
the arbitration provision of the April 1994 settlement agreement.  The Court 
also granted a similar motion filed by the Former Consultant's stockbroker 
and brokerage firm.  The litigation of the case in Superior Court was stayed 
pending the outcome of the arbitration of all claims set forth in the action.
In February 1996, the Arbitration  Panel entered its order dismissing with 
prejudice all of the Former Consultant's claims made against the Company's 
defendants and Mr. Cameron and awarded the Company recovery of a portion of
its fees and costs.  On July 26, 1996, the Superior Court confirmed the 
Arbitration Panel's order of dismissal and award.  On September 10, 1996, 
the Company was notified that the Former Consultant had filed a Notice of 
Appeal with the 3rd District Appellate Court.  At September 30, 1996, legal
expenses and costs of $201,550 incurred by the Company related to this 
litigation are included in the balance  of  accounts  payable to stockholder.
The Company does not believe  that the outcome of this matter will have a 
material  adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.

DISTRIBUTOR AND CO-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

In November  1993, a dispute arose between the Company  and  its  Canadian  
distributor  (the "Distributor")  which  was  settled  in  April 1994.  
This settlement agreement encompassed a cash   payment   of   $50,000  for  
consulting services and the issuance  of 20,000 shares of the  Company's  
Common  Stock (estimated  fair market value of $325,000)  as an incentive for
entry  into a renewal of the  Distributor  and Co-Development  Agreement.   
Accordingly,  the Company   recorded   $50,000  in  general  and 
administrative   expense   and   $325,000   in marketing  and  sales  expense  
during  fiscal 1994.
 
   The  Company entered  into  discussions  to renegotiate  its contractual 
relationship with the Distributor.  These discussions led to the execution of
a letter agreement on January 27, 1995 that modified  certain  provisions of 
the April  1994  agreement.  In addition,  certain minor changes were agreed 
to in a letter dated March 22, 1995.  These agreements called for, among 
other things, issuance of an additional 20,000 shares of the Company's 
Common Stock to the Distributor, if the Distributor successfully developed a  
pilot site for the Canadian version of the Company's software the Distributor
was developing.  Accordingly, the Company recorded $200,000 of settlement
expense in fiscal 1995 which was offset by a reduction in reserves of 
approximately $170,000.  On May 15, 1995, the Company received a letter from 
the Distributor declaring  an  event of default based  on  the Company's  
alleged failure to deliver a specified number of shares of the Company's 
Common Stock pursuant to the agreement.  Within approximately sixty days, 
the  subject stock certificates issuable to the Distributor were delivered  
by the  transfer agent to the Distributor.  On January 5, 1996, the 
Distributor sent  a  letter  to  the  Company indicating  that the 
Distributor  intended  to file a lawsuit against the Company and others,
stating a number  of  claims.  The Distributor indicated their belief that 
the value of these claims  exceeds  $5.0  million.   The  Company believes 
that the Distributor has breached the contract  and  intends  to  vigorously  
defend itself if a lawsuit is filed.  The Company has offered  to  settle  
the  dispute, but the Distributor has not responded to the Company's offer.    

The expense of defending any lawsuit in connection with this agreement will 
place additional  strains on the Company's resources and  cash position  and 
the  Company  may  be required  to  seek  protection  under  federal 
bankruptcy law should the Distributor pursue its claims through litigation.  
Moreover, due to the Company's current and projected cash position, the 
Company  may  not  be  able to satisfy an adverse verdict in this matter that
obligates  the  Company to pay any significant damages to the Distributor. In
the event an adverse verdict is the result of this dispute, the Company may 
be required to seek protection under federal bankruptcy law.

                                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Alternative Technology Resources, Inc.
(formerly known as 3Net Systems, Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of  Alternative Technology 
Resources,  Inc. (formerly known as 3Net Systems,  Inc.)  as of June  30, 
1996, and the related statements  of operations,  stockholders'  deficit,  
and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  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 referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of Alternative Technology 
Resources, Inc. (formerly known as 3Net Systems, Inc.) at June 30,  1996, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that 
Alternative Technology Resources, Inc. (formerly known as 3Net Systems,Inc.) 
will continue as a going concern.   As more fully described in Note 1, the 
Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a working capital 
deficiency.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's  
ability  to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to 
these matters are also described in Notes 1 and 13.  The financial statements
do not include any adjustments to reflect the uncertainties related to the 
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Alternative Technology Resources, Inc. [formerly known as 3Net Systems, Inc.]
(the "Company") provides contract computer programming  and consulting services
and acts as an intermediary in providing such services.  During fiscal years
1995 and 1996, the Company developed and implemented a program whereby the
Company recruits qualified personnel from the former Soviet Union, obtains
necessary visas, and places them for assignment in the United States.  The
Company has now chosen to emphasize this program because of the perceived
opportunity in the high technology temporary placement industry and to de-
emphasize the laboratory software and service business upon which it was
originally founded in 1989.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating
losses since inception which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of
$33,207,699 at June 30, 1996.  In addition, at June 30, 1996 the Company has a
working capital deficit of $3,406,254 and a stockholders' deficit of
$3,255,515.  In fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1994, the Company experienced delays in
completion of its products which resulted in an inability to timely install
ordered systems and an inability to close new orders. In fiscal 1995, the
Company succeeded in receiving acceptance of its products by some of its
customers; however, sales momentum had been lost because of the extended
delays.  During fiscal 1995, the Company wrote off software development costs
and purchased software costs totaling $2,070,837 because the cost reduction
strategies employed by the Company included reduction of sales and marketing
staff and related activities.  In fiscal 1996, the Company wrote off $45,000,
which was the remaining net book value of purchased software.  In fiscal 1996,
the closing of new orders continued to be impacted by this lack of momentum and
by the Company's financial status.  In order to reduce its losses, the Company
has taken steps to decrease expenses and generate revenues by providing
contract programming and consulting services and by acting as an intermediary
in providing such services.

The Company's operating growth strategy includes the expansion of its marketing
efforts through strategic alliances and the development of new customers with
the expenditure  of  a  minimum of resources.  During fiscal 1996, the Company
reduced its staff by 50 percent and lowered operating expenses by 64%; however,
such cost saving moves will not be sufficient to allow the Company to timely
meet all of its obligations while attempting to grow revenue to a level
necessary to generate cash from operations; therefore, the Company is pursuing
additional funds through private equity financings or additional debt
financings.  Although there can be no assurances that additional financing can
be obtained or that if obtained, it will be sufficient to prevent the Company
from having to further materially reduce its level of operations, management of
the Company believes that sufficient financing will be available until
operations can be funded through providing contract programming and consulting
services. Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve a profitable level of
operations to fund growth and to meet its obligations when they become due.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

uncertainties related to the recoverability and classification of assets or 
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the 
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern (Note 13).

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated or amortized on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the
lease term, whichever is shorter. The estimated useful lives range from three
to five years.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Software development costs incurred subsequent to the determination of the
software product's technological feasibility, and prior to the product's
general release to customers, were capitalized in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed" until fiscal 1995.  In
fiscal 1995 because of the Company's inability to market products, it expensed
to cost of system sales all remaining capitalized software development costs of
$914,315 in addition to the amortization expense charged to operations during
fiscal 1995 of $496,542.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Contract programming revenue represents work performed for customers, primarily
on a time and materials basis, and is recorded when the related services are
rendered. Service revenues are derived from support and maintenance contracts
which are deferred when billed and recognized ratably over the contract term
which is generally one year.  Revenues from system sales without significant
Company obligations beyond delivery are recognized upon delivery of the
products net of revenues attributable to insignificant customer obligations and
net of any deferrals for estimated future returns under contractual product
return privileges. System sales revenues pursuant to agreements which include
significant Company obligations beyond delivery and normal installation
services are deferred, net of related hardware costs, until the Company's
remaining obligations are insignificant.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109").  Under
Statement 109, the liability method is used to account for income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company's accounts receivable are primarily with companies in the health
care industry. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company believes that
adequate provision for uncollectable accounts receivable has been made in the
accompanying financial statements. The Company maintains substantially all of
its cash at one financial institution.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Company's net loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss after
deducting Preferred Stock dividends ($122,500 in each of the fiscal years 1996
and 1995) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
during the periods presented, including Common Stock to be issued.  Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock (including Preferred Stock
options), Common Stock options and Common Stock warrants have been excluded
from the net loss per share calculations since their inclusion would be anti-
dilutive.  As described in Note 8, certain of the Company's Preferred Stock was
converted into Common Stock during the year ended June 30, 1996.  Net loss per
share would not have differed for the year ended June 30, 1996 had these
conversions occurred on the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND EXPORT SALES

During the year ended June 30, 1996, two customers individually accounted for
more than 10% of total revenues with 41% and 36%, respectively. During the year
ended June 30, 1995, three customers individually accounted for more than 10%
of total revenues with 27%, 17% and 14%, respectively.  In addition, the 17%
customer in the year ended June 30, 1995, is a related party and the related
project was discontinued during fiscal 1995. Total export sales during the year
ended June 30, 1995, all of which were sales to Canadian customers, comprised
approximately 5%.  There were no export sales during fiscal 1996.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts reported as of and for the
year ended June 30, 1995 to conform with the June 30, 1996 presentation.

2. INVESTOR GROUP TRANSACTIONS

In fiscal 1994, the Company entered into a series of agreements with James W.
Cameron, Jr. pursuant to which Mr. Cameron and a group of investors
(collectively referred to herein as the "Investor Group") purchased 418,332
shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $2,509,992, 50,000 shares of Series C
Preferred Stock for $625,000, and 600,000 shares of Common Stock for $60,000.
The Series B and Series C Preferred Stock purchased by the investor group was
converted into 1,253,997  shares of Common Stock in March and June, 1994.

As a condition of the agreements between the Company and the Investor Group,
the Company granted to its former Chief Executive Officer and director, stock
options for 400,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.10 per share.  The
options are fully vested as of June 30, 1996 and expire on August 10, 2003.
Compensation expense of $4,080,000 related to this stock option was recorded in
fiscal 1994.  Also in conjunction with the agreements, the Company granted
options to purchase a total of 140,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.00 per
share to two new officers.  Compensation expense of $1,400,000 related to these
stock options was recorded in fiscal 1994. 70,000 of these options are fully
vested as of June 30, 1996 and expire on October 6, 2003; the other 70,000
options were canceled in May 1995 after the departure of one of the officers.

In January and February 1994, Mr. Cameron advanced $720,000 in bridge financing
to the Company in exchange for a note.  This note, along with accrued interest,
was converted into Series E Preferred Stock in November 1994.  From September
through November 1994, and prior to the consummation of the Series E Preferred
Stock financing, the Company received $1,450,000 in advances from Mr. Cameron
which were subsequently converted into  Series E Preferred Stock in November
1994 (Note 8).

Additionally, Mr. Cameron is the guarantor of the line of credit with a bank
(the "Continuing Guaranty") (Note 4).  As consideration for the execution of
the Continuing Guaranty, the Company entered into a Reimbursement Agreement
with Mr. Cameron pursuant to which a designee of Mr. Cameron received a warrant
to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$15.00 per share (Note 8).

Additionally, pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, in the event that Mr.
Cameron is required to pay the bank any monies under the Continuing Guaranty,
the Company is required to repay Mr. Cameron the amount of each payment by
either 1) paying an equal cash amount or 2) issuing to Mr. Cameron a non-
convertible note (the "Straight Note") in the principal amount of such payment
by Mr. Cameron, bearing interest at an interest rate equal to the interest rate
of the line of credit on the date of such payment and subject to adjustment
when and to the extent that the interest rate prevailing under the line of
credit may change.

<PAGE>F-18

2. INVESTOR GROUP TRANSACTIONS (continued)

Furthermore, under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, upon written
demand by Mr. Cameron, the Straight Note will be replaced by a convertible note
(the "Convertible Note") in a principal amount equal to the Straight Note and
bearing interest at the same rate.  The conversion price of the Convertible 
Note is equal to the Applicable Percentage, as defined in the Reimbursement 
Agreement, of the average trading price of the Company's common stock over 
the period of ten trading days ending on the trading day next preceding the 
date of issuance of such Convertible Note.  As a result of the maturity date 
of the line of credit being extended by the Bank each six months since 
signing of the Reimbursement Agreement, the Applicable Percentage at June
30, 1996, is 20% and cannot be reduced below this percentage by terms of the
agreement.

3. PURCHASED INTANGIBLES

In December 1993, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an
exclusive license to proprietary software development methodology and for the
use, development and resale, into the healthcare market, of a proprietary
universal scheduling software package from TransMillenial Resources Corporation
in exchange for 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock with an estimated
fair market value of $1,550,000.  The shares were issued by the Company in July
1994.

In February 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase rights to
use and resell, into any market, the proprietary universal scheduling software
acquired in fiscal 1994 for the healthcare market.  The Company issued 10,000
shares of its Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of its
Common Stock at $0.01 per share with a total fair market value of $500,000 as
the consideration for these rights.

At June 30, 1995, the Company expensed the remaining asset value of $1,156,522
to costs of system sales because the cost reduction strategies employed by the
Company include reduction of sales and marketing staff and activities.  The
Company is no longer actively marketing the software.

4. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit with a bank, due in
monthly installments of interest only at the bank's reference rate plus 1.0%
(9.25% at June 30, 1996), with a maturity date of January 1, 1997.  The
outstanding balance on the line of credit as of June 30, 1996 was $1,000,000.
The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company
and is guaranteed by James W. Cameron, Jr. (Note 2).  At June 30, 1996, the
Company was in default under the terms of the line of credit because additional
debt was incurred during fiscal year 1996 (Note 13).

During fiscal 1996, the Company borrowed $738,752 from two existing
stockholders  pursuant to three unsecured promissory notes.  All three notes
mature on December 31, 1996 and bear interest at 10.25%.  Beginning in October
1996, the Company is required to make monthly interest payments on the notes
totaling $12,724 (Note 13).

<PAGE>F-19

5. EQUITY FOR DEBT AGREEMENT

In June 1995, the Company negotiated an equity for debt swap agreement with a
service provider whereby the service provider agreed to accept a warrant to
purchase, at $1.00 per share, the number of shares of the Common Stock of the
Company equal to 1.85% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
outstanding options, warrants, conversion provisions and other rights to
purchase Common Stock, as of the date of exercise (Note 8).  The amount of debt
converted into equity as a result of this transaction was $521,510.

6. INCOME TAXES

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities for
federal and state income taxes as of June 30, 1996 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:

Net operating loss carryforwards                $ 8,515,000
Research credits                                    115,000
Common Stock options                              2,369,000
Common Stock warrants                               733,000
Deferred revenues                                   104,000
Depreciation                                         15,000
Other - net                                         137,000
Total deferred tax assets                        11,988,000
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets     (11,988,000)

Net deferred tax assets                       $          -

The Company's valuation allowance as of June 30, 1995 was $11,426,000,
resulting in a net change in the valuation allowance of $562,000.

As of June 30, 1996 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $23 million and $11
million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforward expires in
2005 through 2011 and the state net  operating loss carryforward expires in
1997 through 2001.  The Company also has approximately $98,000 and $25,000 of
research and development tax credit carryforwards for federal and state income
tax purposes, respectively.  The federal research and development tax credit
carryforwards expire in 2005.

In connection with the Company's initial public offering in August 1992, a
change of ownership (as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended) occurred.  As a result, the Company's net operating loss
carryforwards generated through August 20, 1992 (approximately $1,900,000) will
be subject to an annual limitation in the amount of approximately $300,000.

<PAGE>F-20

6. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

In August and September of 1993, a controlling interest of the Company's stock
was purchased, resulting in a second annual limitation in the amount of
approximately $398,000 on the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss
carryforwards generated between August 11, 1992 and September 13, 1993
(approximately $7,700,000).

The Company expects that the aforementioned annual limitations will result in
approximately $3,600,000 of net operating loss carryovers which may not be
utilized prior to the expiration of the carryover period.

7. COMMITMENTS

OPERATING LEASES

In November 1995, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its current
facility under a one year lease with a stockholder.  At June 30, 1996, $107,100
of rent owed for fiscal 1996 is included in the balance of accounts payable to
stockholder.  Rental expense for all operating leases was approximately $70,000
and $343,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Annual
minimum rental payments for all non-cancelable operating leases for fiscal 1997
are approximately $46,000, net of sublease payments to be received by the
Company of approximately $54,000.

CAPITAL LEASES

The Company leases certain equipment under capital lease agreements. The future
minimum lease payments in fiscal 1997 under capital leases are $10,817, less
$658 representing interest, which results in the present value of the net
minimum lease payments of $10,159 at June 30, 1996.  There are no commitments
beyond fiscal 1997.

The cost of leased assets and related accumulated depreciation included in
property and equipment at June 30, 1996 is $173,526 and $169,598, respectively.
Depreciation expense charged to operations in fiscal 1996 and 1995 relating to
leased assets was $34,705 and $34,705, respectively.

ROYALTY COMMITMENTS

The Company had a commitment to pay royalties to Time Technologies of 10% of
hardware and software sales generated through February 12, 1995 related to the
TimeNet product, up to a cumulative total of $100,000.  The Company had an
additional commitment to pay royalties to St. Agnes Hospital on software sales
related to the TimeNet product, at 15% of related sales, but in any event not
less than $75,000 for a three year period ended December 22, 1995.  During
fiscal 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with St. Agnes Hospital
which provides for the Company's payment of 24 monthly principal and interest
payments of $3,277 in satisfaction of all obligations under the agreement.

ROYALTY COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

Interest accrues at 10% per annum, and the outstanding balance of the
obligation at June 30, 1996, is $54,567.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

In November 1994, the Company received $301,250 in a private sale of a
combination of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock.  This
transaction consisted of the purchase of 33,500 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at $7.50 per share and the purchase of 5,000 units at $10.00 per unit,
each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share.  In February 
1995, the Company received commitments from several investors to invest 
$1,475,000 in a private sale of 147,500 units at $10.00 per unit, each
unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share or $7.50 below
the last trading price on the date of the notice of exercise, whichever is
lower.  The warrants expire on February 13, 2000.  The Company received
$1,475,000 prior to June 30, 1995 and issued 147,500 shares pursuant to these
agreements.

The Company was served with a lawsuit filed on September 17, 1993 in Sacramento
County Superior Court against it and others by a former employee.  The lawsuit
alleged sexual harassment and wrongful termination and sought general and
special damages of $2.0 million plus undisclosed punitive damages.  On May 27,
1995, the Company reached a settlement with the former employee under which the
Company  caused its insurer to deliver a cash payment to the former employee.
The Company issued 25,000 shares of unregistered common stock with a fair value
of $78,125 to the former employee subsequent to the settlement being approved
by the Superior Court in July 1995.

In June 1996, the Company issued 39,274 shares of its Common Stock to a
customer in connection with a settlement agreement entered into in fiscal 1995
(Note 9).

SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK

In June 1994, existing stockholders purchased 204,167 shares of Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock for $1,225,002. The Company is required to pay
cumulative preferential dividends to holders of Series D Preferred Stock on a
quarterly basis beginning July 1, 1994, at a rate of $0.60 per year per share.
As of June 30, 1996, cumulative unpaid, undeclared dividends were $245,000.
Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the
stockholder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is determined by dividing the sum of $6.00 and the accrued but unpaid
dividends by the Series D Conversion Price, as defined in the agreement, in
effect on the conversion date.  The Series D Conversion Price is $10.00 per

SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)

share after giving effect to the one-for-ten consolidation of Common Stock
(Note 12).  Additionally, the Series D Preferred Stock is redeemable at
any time, at the Company's option, at a price of $6.00 per share plus accrued
but unpaid dividends.  The liquidation preference is $6.00 per share plus
accrued but unpaid dividends.

SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK

On November 18, 1994, the Company entered into a series of agreements for the
purchase of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with two existing
stockholders.  The transaction included a debt to equity conversion of
$2,232,856 and an additional aggregate cash investment of $1,215,004 in
exchange for the issuance of 287,322 shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

On December 1,1995, the holders of all the outstanding shares of the Company's
Series E Preferred Stock tendered those shares for conversion into 22,335,933
shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series E
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.  As of the conversion date, 20,000,000
common shares were authorized; therefore, 5,218,677 shares were recorded as
Common Stock to be issued until such time as the number of authorized shares
can be increased (Note 12).

WARRANTS

In connection with the private sale of Preferred Stock in March 1992, the
Company sold Class A Warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock which
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $81,000. In January of
1994, Class A Warrants to purchase 34,400 shares of Common Stock were amended
into new warrants (the "Conversion Warrants") exercisable at $15.00 per share
(see below). The remaining Class A Warrants are exercisable at $25.00 per
share.  In the event the Company attains net income after provision for income
taxes in excess of $500,000 in a quarterly period (the "Quarterly Goal"), the
Company will have 15 days to notify the warrant holders of any intent it may
have to redeem all Class A Warrants which are not exercised by the end of a
specified period (not less than 30 days from delivery of such notice).  The
redemption price of the Class A Warrants will be $0.20 per share. If the
Company  fails  to deliver such notice within the required 15-day period, it
will lose its right to redeem the outstanding Class A Warrants until the next 
quarter in which the Company reaches the Quarterly Goal.

In May 1992, the Company issued additional Class A Warrants to purchase 4,000
shares of Common Stock to an individual in consideration for certain financial
consulting services. All of these warrants were amended into Conversion
Warrants in January of 1994 (see below).

In June 1992, the Company issued additional Class A Warrants to purchase 6,250
shares of Common Stock to stockholders in exchange for loan guarantees in the
aggregate amount of $250,000. All of these warrants were amended into
Conversion Warrants in January of 1994 (see below).

<PAGE>F-23

8. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT (continued)

WARRANTS (continued)

Prior to the Company's offer to amend the Class A Warrants into Conversion
Warrants, the Company offered each of the Class A Warrant holders a non-
redeemable Class B Warrant to purchase 50% of the number of shares that they 
were entitled to purchase through the exercise of their Class A Warrants, equal 
to an aggregate of 25,125 shares of Common Stock, in exchange for the execution 
and delivery by each Class A Warrant holder of a release of any claims that he 
or she may have against the Company for the late registration of the Common 
Stock underlying the Class A Warrants.  Holders of 31 Class A Warrants covering
47,840 shares signed releases and 23,925 Class B Warrants  were issued.  In
January of 1994, Class B Warrants to purchase 22,325 shares of Common Stock
were amended into Conversion Warrants exercisable at $15.00 per share (see
below).  The remaining Class B Warrants are exercisable through April 22, 1998
at a price of $28.80 per share.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company has not
received claims from any of the warrant holders who did not sign releases, nor
does the Company believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

On February 16, 1993, the Company issued an aggregate of five Class C Warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 7,500 shares of Common Stock in settlement of a
dispute with a group of individuals and an organization who have claimed that 
they were entitled to receive a finder's fee in connection with the Company's 
March 1992 private placement. In January of 1994, all of the Class C Warrants 
were amended into Conversion Warrants exercisable at $15.00 per share (see 
below).

In connection with the Company's initial public offering, the Company issued
Class D Warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock to the underwriter.
In January of 1994, all of the Class D Warrants were amended into 8,400
Conversion Warrants exercisable at $15.00 per share (see below).
In December of 1993, the Company offered the holders of the Class A, B, C and D
Warrants the right to have their warrants amended to reduce the exercise price
to $15.00, to provide an early termination (call) feature at the Company's
option and to change the number of shares subject to warrant.  The amended
warrants, (the "Conversion Warrants"), were issued in January of 1994.

The following table summarizes the number of shares subject to outstanding
warrants at June 30, 1996:

                                  Original          Amended Terms-

WARRANTS (CONTINUED)

In August 1993, the Board of Directors approved the issuance to stockholders of
record on September 7, 1993 a Common Stock warrant with an exercise price of
$25.00 per share  for  the  same  number  of shares  of  Common  Stock which

shares (the "Special Warrants").  The Special Warrants are immediately 
exercisable and are subject to an early termination (call) feature by the 
Company.  The Special Warrants are callable by the Company if the Market 
Price of the Company's Common Stock, as defined in the warrant, is $32.50 per

Warrants be exercised later than December 31, 1997.

In July 1994, the Company agreed to issue two warrants to a strategic partner
each exercisable for 132,618 shares at $30.00 per share and $50.00 per share,

investors in a private placement at the exercise price of $15.00 per share or
$7.50 below the last trading price on the date of the notice of exercise, 
whichever is lower.  These warrants  expire on February 13, 2000.  During 
fiscal 1996, several investors exercised warrants for 132,500 shares of 
unregistered Common Stock.  The Company received no proceeds upon the 
exercise of these warrants since the trading price at the time of exercise 
was less than $7.50 per share.

WARRANTS (continued)

In June 1995, the Company negotiated an equity for debt swap agreement with a
service provider whereby the service provider agreed to accept a warrant to
purchase, at $1.00 per share, the number of shares of the Common Stock of the
Company equal to 1.85% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
outstanding options, warrants, conversion provisions and other rights to
purchase Common Stock as of the date of exercise (Note 5).  This warrant
expires on December 31, 2004.  The amount of debt converted into equity as a
result of this transaction was $521,510.

STOCK OPTIONS

In fiscal 1994 as a condition of the agreements between the Company and the
Investor Group (Note 2), the Company granted to its then-new Chief Executive
Officer and director, stock options for 400,000 shares of Common Stock
exercisable at $0.10 per share.  The options are fully vested as of June 30,
1996 and expire on August 10, 2003.  In April 1996, 10,000 options were
exercised.

SPECIAL STOCK OPTION PLAN

   In June 1993 the Board of Directors adopted the Alternative Technology
Resources, Inc. (formerly known as 3Net Systems, Inc.) Special Stock Option
Plan which authorizes 18,800 shares of Common Stock for the grant of options.
In June 1993 the Board of Directors granted options with respect to 18,715
shares of Common Stock to approximately 43 employees.  Options to purchase
13,801 shares of Common Stock under the Special Stock Option Plan were canceled
through April 10, 1996, at which time the remaining 4,913 options were canceled
and reissued under the 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.  The reissued 
options have an exercise price of $0.78125, the closing market price on that 
day.    

1993 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN

The 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "1993 Plan"), pursuant to which
key employees (including officers) and consultants of the Company and the non-
employee members of the Board of Directors may acquire an equity interest in
the Company, was adopted by the Board of Directors on August 31, 1993 and 
became effective at that time.

An aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance over
the ten year term of the 1993 Plan.  However, no officer of the Company may be
issued more than 200,000 shares of Common Stock under the 1993 Plan.  The
shares issuable under the 1993 Plan will either be shares of the Company's
authorized but previously unissued Common Stock or shares of Common Stock
reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market and
held as treasury shares.

1993 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN (continued)

During fiscal 1994, the Company granted options to purchase 182,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, at exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $13.75 per
share, to six employees under the 1993 Plan, including two new officers in
conjunction with the agreements with the Investor Group (Note 2).  During
fiscal 1995, the Company granted additional options to purchase 57,890 shares
of the Company's Common Stock, at exercise prices ranging from $6.25 to $10.00,
to employees and officers.  Options to purchase 26,068 and 87,900 shares were
canceled in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.  On April 10, 1996, the Board
of Directors agreed to adjust the exercise price for 115,922 options to
$0.78125 per share, the closing market price on that day.

In November 1993, the Company granted two options to purchase an aggregate of
10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.62 per
share to two non-employees elected as directors at the 1993 Annual Stockholders
Meeting.  In June 1994, the Company granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares
of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $13.10 per share to an individual
elected as a director who is not an employee.  In April 1995, 1,667 options 
were exercised at $1.62 per share and 3,333 options were canceled.  On 
November 20, 1995 the Company granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of 
Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to an individual 
elected as a director who is not an employee.

On April 10, 1996, the Board of Directors agreed to adjust the exercise price
of $13.10 per share for an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock,
originally issued to a director in June 1994, to $0.78125 per share, the
closing market price on April 10, 1996.

On April 10, 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 166,787 shares of
the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.78125 per share to eleven
employees, including two officers.

Of the 312,622 options outstanding at June 30, 1996, options to purchase
145,835 shares were immediately exercisable at prices ranging from $0.78125 to
$13.10 per share.  Approximately 85,711 shares are still available for grant
under the 1993 Plan at June 30, 1996.

STOCK RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE

As of June 30, 1996, the Company has reserved a total of 2,378,582 shares of
Common Stock pursuant to outstanding warrants, options, conversion of Series D
Preferred Stock, and future issuance of options to employees and non-employee
directors.  In addition, at June 30, 1996, the Company has an additional
5,218,677 shares recorded as Common Stock to be issued until such time as the
number of authorized shares can be increased (Note 12).

9. SETTLEMENT OF CUSTOMER CLAIMS

In April 1995, the Company reached a letter agreement with a customer that
mutually acknowledges that contributions beyond the scope of the original
customer agreement, as  amended,  had  been  made  by  both  parties  and  that
any  obligations  for  such contributions were mutually satisfied by the 
fulfillment of the terms of the letter agreement.  The letter agreement 
required the Company to issue shares of its Common Stock, within 90 days of 
the agreement, to the customer with a market value at the time of issuance of
$225,000.   The  Company  recorded $225,000  of  settlement  expense during 
the year ended June 30, 1995, pursuant to this agreement, but, had previously
reserved approximately $130,000 specifically for this customer.  During 
fiscal 1996, the Company issued 39,274 shares of its Common Stock to this 
customer in satisfaction of its obligations under the letter agreement.

10. CONTINGENCIES

SUIT FROM FORMER CONSULTANT

   In April 1994, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a former
officer and director (the "Former Officer") and a former consultant, officer
and director (the  "Former Consultant") in connection with disputes concerning
outstanding compensation, expense reimbursement, equity entitlement issues and
ownership of the Company's proprietary software.  In November 1994, the Former
Officer and Former Consultant asserted that the Company had breached certain of
its obligations under the settlement agreement.  In February 1995, the Company
believes it cured any alleged default under the settlement agreement by
fulfilling certain nonmaterial obligations to the Former Officer and the Former
Consultant.  In addition, the Former Consultant asserted claims against the
Company and numerous other parties under a variety of legal theories. On June
12, 1995, the Former Consultant filed a lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior
Court against the Company, its then-current directors, James W. Cameron, Jr.,
the Former Consultant's stockbroker and brokerage firm and one of the Company's
largest customers.  The lawsuit set forth twenty causes of action based on a
variety of legal theories and sought in excess of $15.0 million in damages plus
punitive damages.  In August 1995, the Superior Court granted petitions to
compel arbitration filed by the Company's  defendants and Mr. Cameron which
petitions were based on the arbitration provision of the April 1994 settlement
agreement.  The Court also granted a similar motion filed by the Former
Consultant's stockbroker and brokerage firm.   The litigation of the case in
Superior Court was stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration of all claims
set forth in the action.  In February 1996 the Arbitration    
   Panel entered its order dismissing with prejudice all of the Former
Consultant's claims made against the Company's defendants and Mr. Cameron and
awarded the Company recovery of a portion of its fees and costs.  On July 26,
1996, the Superior Court confirmed the Arbitration Panel's order of dismissal
and award.   At  June 30, 1996  legal expenses and costs of $201,550 incurred
by  the  Company related  to  this  litigation  are  included  in  the balance
of accounts payable to shareholder.  On September 10, 1996, the Company was
notified that the Former Consultant had filed a Notice of Appeal with the 3rd
District Appellate Court.  The Company does not believe that the outcome of
this matter will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or
results of operations.    

<PAGE>F-29

10. CONTINGENCIES (continued)

DEMAND LETTER

The Company purchased and licensed various assets from Barrett Laboratories,
Inc. ("Barrett").  In fiscal 1993, a major creditor of Barrett asserted that
the Company was liable for $2,460,000 owed by Barrett.  No basis for this
assertion has been provided to the Company nor has the Company had any
communications with Barrett's creditor in fiscal 1995 or fiscal 1996.  The
documentation on which the Barrett liability is based was signed in 1986, three
years before the Company was formed.  The Company does not believe that it has
any obligation with respect to the debts of Barrett and the Company and its
counsel believe that the statute of limitations has run on any claim that the
creditor may have had against the Company.

DEMANDS FOR INDEMNIFICATION

In July 1994, the Company received a formal request for indemnification from
one of the individual defendants as it pertains to a the wrongful termination
lawsuit filed on September 17, 1993 in Sacramento County Superior Court (Note
8).  The Company denied that it had any obligation and the matter was submitted
for determination by an arbitrator in accordance with certain indemnification
agreements between the Company and the individual.  The arbitrator determined
that the Company had an obligation to pay for the cost of defense of the
individual.  Based on this ruling, the Company reimbursed the individual 
approximately $93,000 for the expenses he had incurred in defending the 
action and will pay his continuing defense costs.  However, the Company has 
reserved its right to seek reimbursement of these amounts from the individual
under appropriate circumstances.  On June 19, 1995, the Company received a 
demand by the individual seeking reimbursement of fees and settlement costs 
incurred by the individual and his insurer.  On August 18, 1995, the Company 
formally rejected that demand.  The Company does not believe that the outcome
of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its financial position 
or results of operations.

The Company also received a demand for indemnification of legal expenses for
separate counsel from the other individual defendant in the lawsuit filed on
September 17, 1993 in Sacramento County Superior Court, discussed above.  The
Company had been providing a defense to this individual through its counsel and
disputes that it had an obligation to provide for separate counsel.  This
matter was resolved by the Company's agreement to provide for separate counsel.
The Company has reimbursed the former officer approximately $41,000 for
expenses he incurred in defending the action.  In August 1995, the Company
received notification from the individual's law firm that the Company was in
arrears of approximately $12,000 in its obligation to reimburse the firm for
fees and expenses in defending the individual, and has arranged for terms under
which such amount will be paid.  The Company does not believe that the outcome
of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or
results of operations.

11. DISTRIBUTOR AND CO-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

In November 1993, a dispute arose between the Company and its Canadian
distributor (the "Distributor") which was settled in April 1994.  This
settlement agreement encompassed a cash payment of $50,000 for consulting
services and the issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
(estimated fair market value of $325,000) as an incentive for entry into a
renewal of the Distributor and Co-Development Agreement.  Accordingly, the
Company recorded $50,000 in general and administrative expense and $325,000 in
marketing and sales expense during fiscal 1994.

   The Company entered into discussions to renegotiate its contractual
relationship with the Distributor.  These discussions led to the execution of a
letter agreement on January 27, 1995 that modified certain provisions of the
April 1994 agreement.  In addition, certain  minor  changes  were  agreed  to
in  a  letter  dated  March  22,  1995.  These agreements called for, among
other things, issuance of an additional 20,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock to the Distributor, if the Distributor successfully developed a pilot
site for the Canadian version of the Company's software the Distributor was
developing.  Accordingly, the Company recorded $200,000 of settlement expense
in fiscal 1995 which was offset by a reduction in reserves of approximately
$170,000.  On May 15, 1995, the Company received a letter from the
Distributor declaring an event of default based on the Company's alleged
failure to deliver a specified number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
pursuant to the agreement.  Within approximately sixty days, the subject stock
certificates issuable to the Distributor were delivered by the transfer agent
to the Distributor.  On January 5, 1996, the Distributor sent a letter to the
Company indicating that the Distributor intended to file a lawsuit against the
Company and others, stating a number of claims.  The Distributor indicated
their belief that the value of these claims exceeds $5.0 million.  The Company
believes that the Distributor has breached the contract and intends to
vigorously defend itself if a lawsuit is filed.  The Company has offered to
settle the dispute, but the Distributor has not responded to the Company's
offer.    

The expense of defending any lawsuit in connection with this agreement will
place additional strains on the Company's resources and cash position and the
Company may be required to seek protection under federal bankruptcy law should
the Distributor pursue its claims through litigation.  Moreover, due to the
Company's current and projected cash position, the Company may not be able to
satisfy an adverse verdict in this matter that obligates the Company to pay any
significant damages to the Distributor.  In the event an adverse verdict is the
result of this dispute, the Company may be required to seek protection under
federal bankruptcy law.

12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On December 2, 1996, the Company effected a one-for-ten consolidation of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and reduced the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 100,000,000.
Reference to shares throughout the financial statements and footnotes gives
effect to the one-for-ten share consolidation.  In addition, effective on
December 2, 1996, the Company changed its name from 3Net Systems, Inc., to
Alternative Technology Resources, Inc.

   13.  RESTRUCTURING OF FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (NOTE 4)    

   On December 31, 1996, the Company had $1,205,652 in notes payable to
stockholders outstanding with a maturity date of December 31, 1996.  In
addition, the $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank was to mature on January 1,
1997.  In December 1996, the stockholder lenders extended the maturity date on
the notes payable totaling approximately $1.2 million from December 31, 1996 to
the earlier of December 31, 1997, or such time as the Company obtains equity
financing.  In addition, the maturity date of the $1,000,000 line of credit
with a bank was verbally extended by the bank until such time as stockholder
James W. Cameron, Jr., can conclude negotiations with the bank to become the
borrower under the line of credit.  When Mr. Cameron becomes the borrower under
the line of credit, the Company will enter into a note payable to Mr. Cameron
for the $1,000,000.  Terms of that note are expected to provide for the same
monthly interest payments as with the bank and have a maturity date of the
earlier of December 31, 1997, or such time as the Company obtains equity
financing.

Item 24.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section  145  of  the  Delaware  General   Corporation  Law  provides  for  the
indemnification of officers, directors, employees,  and  other corporate agents
in   terms   sufficiently  broad  to  indemnify  such  persons  under   certain
circumstances  for  liabilities  (including reimbursement of expenses incurred)
arising under the Securities Act.   Article Seventh of the Registrant's Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation  and  Section 7.7 of the Registrant's
Bylaws provide for indemnification to the extent  and  under  the circumstances
permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Article  Sixth  of  the  Registration's  Amended  and  Restated Certificate  of
Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of its directors to the fullest
extent  permitted  by  paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section  102  of  the
General  Corporation  Law   of  Delaware,  as  the  same  may  be  amended  and
supplemented.  Section 102(b)(7)  of  the  General  Corporation Law of Delaware
provides  for  the  elimination  of  personal  liability of  directors  to  the
Corporation  or  its  stockholders  for  monetary damages  for  any  breach  of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for: (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty
to the Corporation or its stockholders; (ii)  acts  or  omissions  not  in good
faith  or  which  involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii) liability under  Section  174  of  the  Delaware  General Corporation Law
(involving  certain  unlawful  dividends  or stock repurchases);  or  (iv)  any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 26.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

   The  following information includes the effect of the Company's  one-for-ten
consolidation  of  Common Stock approved by the stockholders effective December
2, 1996:

   (a) In December 1993  and  March  1994,  the  Company  sold  5,000 shares of
      Preferred Stock, Series C, to James W. Cameron, Jr., J. Edwards  IRA,  J.
      Edwards,  R.  and  L.  Gilbert, E. Sloan, David Lamm, the Company's Chief
      Financial Officer, L. Hollwegg,  V.  Tuchin, and V. Kobelev for $625,000.
      Each preferred share was convertible into  5 shares of Common Stock.  The
      Company relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.  The

<PAGE>II-2

      Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock,  Series  C, was subsequently
      registered on Form SB-2, File #33-72566 declared effective  as  of  March
      17, 1994.  In June 1994 the Preferred Stock, Series C, was converted into
      250,000 shares of Common Stock.

   (b)  In February 1994, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an aggregate
      of  10,000  shares  of Common Stock to the designate of James W. Cameron,
      Jr., a shareholder and  a  director,  in  exchange  for  a line of credit
      guarantee  in  the  amount  of  $2,000,000.   The  warrant is immediately
      exercisable  at  a price of $15.00 per share through February  28,  1999.
      The Company recorded  $53,000  in  additional  interest expense in fiscal
      1994 in connection with the issuance of this warrant.  The Company relied
      on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the  Act.   The Common Stock
      underlying the warrant was subsequently registered on Form S-3, File #33-
      86962 declared effective July 14, 1995.

   (c) In April 1994, the Company issued two warrants to purchase  an aggregate
      of  115,286  shares  of  Common  Stock  to  a  William  Manak  and Dennis
      Montgomery,  a former officer and a former consultant in connection  with
      the  settlement  of  a  claim  by  the  former  officer  and  the  former
      consultant.   The warrants are exercisable at a price of $15.00 per share
      and had an estimated  fair  market value of $645,599 which was charged to
      operations in fiscal 1994.  In  addition, the Company issued two warrants
      to purchase an aggregate of 32,500  shares of Common Stock at an exercise
      price of $0.01 per share to these individuals in connection with the same
      settlement agreement.  These warrants  had an estimated fair market value
      of $438,750 which was charged to operations  in  fiscal 1994.  All of the
      warrants are immediately exercisable through April 15, 1999.  The Company
      relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of  the  Act.  In August
      1995,  the  former  officer  exercised  one of these warrants for  20,000
      shares of Common Stock for an aggregate price  of  $200,  and in December
      1995  he  exercised  another  warrant for 2 shares of Common Stock.   The
      Common Stock underlying these warrants  was  subsequently  registered  on
      Form S-3, File #33-86962 declared effective July 14, 1995.

   (d) In  June  1994,  existing  stockholders (James W. Cameron, Jr., Dr. Max
       Negri, and Mr. Robert Ramsdell)  purchased  204,167 shares of Convertible
       Preferred  Stock,  Series  D, for $1,225,002.  Each  share  of  Preferred
       Stock, Series D, is convertible,  at  the option of the stockholder, into
       such number of fully paid and nonassessable  shares  of  Common Stock  as
       defined in the agreement.  Additionally, the Preferred Stock,  Series  D,
       is  redeemable  at any time, at the Company's option, at a price of $6.00
       per share plus accrued  but unpaid dividends.  The liquidation preference
       is $6.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends.  The Company relied
       on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

   (e) In July 1994, the Company  agreed  to  issue two warrants to a strategic
       partner, Electronic Data Systems, each exercisable for 132,618 shares at
       $30.00  per  share  and  $50.00  per share, respectively.   The  warrant
       agreements  have  not  been finalized;  however,  the  Company  recorded
       $345,000 in expense during  the  first  quarter of fiscal 1995 for these
       warrants.  The Company relied on the exemption  provided by Section 4(2)
       of the Act.

   (f) On November 18, 1994, the Company entered into a  series  of  agreements
      for  the  purchase of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with James  W.
      Cameron,  Jr.   and  Dr.  Max  Negri,  two  existing  stockholders.   The
      transaction included  a  debt  to  equity conversion of $2,232,856 and an
      additional aggregate cash investment  of  $1,215,004  in exchange for the
      issuance  of  287,322  shares of Series E Preferred Stock.   On  December
      1,1995, the holders of all the outstanding shares of the Company's Series
      E Preferred Stock tendered  those  shares  for conversion into 22,335,933
      shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant  to the terms of the Series
      E  Preferred  Stock  Purchase  Agreement.   The  Company  relied  on  the
      exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

   (g) In November 1994, the Company received $301,250 in  a  private sale of a
      combination of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common  Stock.  This
      transaction  consisted  of the purchase of 33,500 shares of the Company's
      Common Stock at $7.50 per  share by Porter Partners, LP, and the purchase
      of 5,000 units to R. G. Wiggins  at  $1.00 per unit, each unit consisting
      of  one share of Common Stock and a warrant  to  purchase  one  share  of
      Common  Stock  at  an  exercise  price  of $15.00 per share.  The Company
      relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

<PAGE>II-3

   (h) In February 1995, the Company entered into  an  agreement  to  purchase
       rights  to  use  and resell, into any market, proprietary software (RUMS)
       acquired in fiscal  1994 from John Forge for the health care market.  The
       agreement required the Company to issue 10,000 shares of its Common Stock
       and a warrant to purchase  40,000 shares of its Common Stock at $0.01 per
       share with a fair market value  of  $500,000  as  consideration for these
       rights.  The Company relied on the exemption provided  by Section 4(2) of
       the Act.

   (i) In February 1995, the Company received $1,475,000 in a  private  sale of
      147,500  units  at  $1.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share  of
      Common Stock and a warrant  to  purchase  one share of Common Stock at an
      exercise price of $15.00 per share or $7.50  below the last trading price
      on the date of the notice of exercise, whichever  is lower.  The warrants
      expire  on  February  13,  2000.   During fiscal 1996, several  investors
      exercised  warrants  for 132,500 shares  of  unregistered  Common  Stock.
      During fiscal 1997, the remaining investors exercised warrants for 15,000
      shares of  unregistered  Common  Stock.   Since  the  market price of the
      Company's  Common  Stock  was less than $7.50 per share at  the  time  of
      exercise of the warrants, the  Company  received no proceeds at exercise.
      The investors include The Cameron Foundation,  Porpoise  Investors I, LP,
      R. H. Gurevitch, J. F. and B. H. Hawley, the Ramsdell Family Trust, G. T.
      Runnels,  R. G. Wiggins, and K. and C. Williams.  The Company  relied  on
      the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

   (j) On May 27,  1995,  the Company reached a settlement in connection with a
      lawsuit filed in September  1993  by  a  former  employee under which the
      Company  caused  its  insurer  to deliver a cash payment  to  the  former
      employee.  The Company issued 25,000  shares of unregistered Common Stock
      to the former employee subsequent to the settlement being approved by the
      Superior  Court  in  July  1995.  The Company  relied  on  the  exemption
      provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

   (k) In June 1995 the Company sold  a  warrant  to  purchase  4,200 shares of
      Common Stock at an exercise price of $25.00 per share in February 1995 to
      a  brokerage  firm,  Fahnestock  &  Co., Inc.  The warrant is immediately
      exercisable through December 31, 1997.  The Company received $2,100.  The
      Company relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

   (l) In June 1995 the Company sold a warrant to purchase 107 shares of Common
      Stock  at  an exercise price of $25.00  per  share  in  June  1995  to  a
      brokerage firm, Troster & Singer.  The warrant is immediately exercisable
      through December 31, 1997.  The Company received $54.  The Company relied
      on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

   (m) In June 1995,  the  Company negotiated an equity for debt swap agreement
      with a service provider,  Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro, whereby the service
      provider agreed to accept a  warrant to purchase, at $1.00 per share, the
      number of shares of the Common Stock of the Company equal to 1.85% of the
      number of issued and outstanding  shares  of Common Stock plus the number
      of  shares  of  Common Stock issuable pursuant  to  outstanding  options,
      warrants, conversion provisions and other rights to purchase Common Stock
      as of the date of  exercise.   This warrant expires on December 31, 2004.
      The amount of debt converted into  equity as a result of this transaction
      was $521,510.  The Company relied on  the  exemption  provided by Section
      4(2) of the Act.

   (n) In June 1996, the Company issued 39,274 shares of its  Common  Stock  to
      Osborn Laboratories, Inc., in connection with a fiscal 1995 settlement of
      $225,000  owed  to  the  customer.   The  Company relied on the exemption
      provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

   (o)  In  September  1996,  the  Company  granted a non-statutory  option  to
      purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's  Common  Stock at $2.00 per share
      (market at the date of grant) to its Chairman, Edward L. Lammerding.  The
      Company relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.

      (p)   On December 31, 1996, the Company granted 225,000  shares of common
            stock  to  W. Robert Keen for services as Chief Executive  Officer.
            The Company relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the
            Act.

Item 28.  Undertakings

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising  under  the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been  advised  that  in  the opinion of the Commission such indemnification  is
against public policy as expressed  in  the  Securities  Act  and  is therefore
unenforceable.   In  the  event  that a claim for indemnification against  such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer, or controlling  person of the Company 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  Company 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 Securities Act and will be governed  by  the  final
adjudication of such issue.

      The Company hereby undertakes that:

      (1)   For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information  omitted  from  the  form  of  Prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A  and  contained  in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)  or 497(h)
under  the  Securities  Act  shall  be  deemed  to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

      (2)   For the purpose of determining any liability  under  the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus  shall be
deemed  to  be  a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      The Company undertakes that it will:

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

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

<PAGE>II-9

      (ii) Reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information 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 a 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, treat each post-
effective  amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered,
and the offering  of  the  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.

     RE:  COMMON STOCK OF ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES, INC.

Gentlemen:

     We  act as counsel to Alternative Technology Resources, Inc., fka 3Net
Systems, Inc.  (the  "Company"), a Delaware corporation, in connection with
the  registration under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the
"Securities  Act"), of 24,901,669 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the
"Shares").  As  further  described in a registration statement on Form SB-2
filed under the Securities  Act  (the  "Registration  Statement"),  of  the
24,901,669  Shares,  up  to  22,968,706 Shares are being offered by certain
stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders"), up to 1,004,463 Shares are being
offered by the Company to holders  of the Company's Preferred Stock--Series
D and to holders of outstanding warrants  and  options,  and  up to 928,500
Shares  may be issued by the Company in exchange for debt or settlement  of
existing and potential liabilities.

     For  the  purpose  of rendering this opinion, we examined originals or
photostatic copies of such  documents  as  we  deemed  to  be relevant.  In
conducting   our  examination,  we  assumed,  without  investigation,   the
genuineness of  all  signatures,  the  correctness of all certificates, the
authenticity of all documents submitted  to us as originals, the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted  to  us  as  certified  or
photostatic  copies  and  the authenticity of the originals of such copies,
and the accuracy and completeness  of  all  records made available to us by
the Company.  In addition, in rendering this  opinion,  we assumed that the
Shares  will  be  offered  in  the  manner  and on the terms identified  or
referred to in the prospectus, including any amendments thereto.

     Our opinion is limited solely to matters  set forth herein.  Attorneys
practicing in this firm are admitted to practice in the State of California
and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
corporate  laws  of  the  State  of  Delaware, the laws  of  the  State  of
California, and the laws of the United States.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing,  after  giving  due regard to
such  issues  of  law  as  we  deemed  relevant, and assuming that (i)  the
Registration Statement becomes and remains  effective,  and  the prospectus
which  is  a  part thereof (the "Prospectus"), and the Prospectus  delivery
procedures with  respect  thereto,  fulfill  all of the requirements of the
Securities Act throughout all periods relevant to the opinion, and (ii) all
offers and sales of the Shares have been and will  be  made  in  compliance
with the securities laws of the states having jurisdiction thereof,  we are
of the opinion that:

     The  Shares  to  be  offered  by the Company, upon the receipt of
     adequate consideration, and the  Shares  to  be  offered  by  the
     Selling  Stockholders,  will  be  validly issued, fully paid, and
     non-assessable.

     We hereby consent in writing to the  use  of our opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and any amendment  thereto.   By  giving such
consent,  we  do  not  thereby  admit  that we come within the category  of
persons where consent is required under  Section 7 of the Securities Act or
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                              Sincerely yours,

                              BARTEL ENG LINN & SCHRODER
