             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Precision
Systems, Inc. (the "Company") are unaudited and should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the four
month transition period ended December 31, 1996 and for the years ended August
31, 1996 and 1995.

         In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments
consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year. The interim financial statements and
notes thereto are presented as permitted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not contain information included in the Company's annual
financial statements and notes thereto.

         On September 30, 1996, the Company elected to change its year end from 
August 31 to December 31. This change was made effective December 31, 1996.

         Certain amounts for previous periods have been reclassified to conform
with the 1997 presentation.

2.       LOSS PER SHARE

         Loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
have been computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding of
17,571,812 and 13,765,037, respectively. The loss per share calculation does
not include preferred convertible securities and stock options, which are
common stock equivalents, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

of $1,500,000 in cash, Company common stock valued at $1,655,833, and other
direct acquisition costs totaling $238,916. 

         The purchase price allocation among the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the acquisition of BFD are as follows:

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         During April, 1997, the Company completed a $4,500,000 financing with
three of its existing shareholders, RMS Limited Partnership, Vulcan Ventures,
Inc. and Primwest Holding N.V. ("the Shareholders"). In connection with the
financing, each shareholder invested $1,500,000 and received 1,500 shares of a
newly designated class of preferred stock. The Series B Preferred Stock carries
a cumulative 8% dividend and may be converted, at the Company's option at any
time prior to December 31, 1997, into new securities on the same terms as such
securities may be offered to third parties. In the event the Company does not
effect a mandatory conversion of the securities, each shareholder will be
entitled to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock after
December 31, 1998, at approximately $4.47 per share. In addition to the Series B
Preferred Stock, each of the Shareholders received a warrant to purchase 150,000
shares of common stock. The warrants will be exercisable for a five year period
beginning April, 1998 at approximately $6.09. The Company granted the
Shareholders certain registration and anti-dilution rights in connection with
the transaction.

                                                                              5

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Precision Systems, Inc. ("PSI"), is a global company which together
with its direct and indirect wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the
"Company"), collectively delivers proven solutions to telecommunications
service providers and major corporations. The Company's software and hardware
products support calling cards, prepaid cards, enhanced toll-free/freephone
services, call center solutions, and service bureau services. In addition, the
Company supports its products through maintenance contracts.

CONTRACT REVENUES

         Contract revenues were $1,811,053 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 compared to $4,345,983 during the same period in 1996. The decrease in
contract revenue during the three months ended March 31, 1997 versus 1996 is
primarily due to certain ESP product sales to MCI completed in 1996 which did
not recur during the same period in 1997.

         Contract revenues associated with Vicorp's BETEX products were
approximately $1,187,257 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Since the
Vicorp acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, the Company's consolidated
statements of operations include the operations of Vicorp since the acquisition
date, in April, 1996. The Company expects the revenue generated from the sale
of BETEX products to increase during 1997.

SERVICE AND SUPPORT 

         Service and support revenue increased to $6,284,043 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $887,428 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.

         Service and support provided to MCI decreased to $513,724 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $831,123 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. Maintenance revenue generated from MCI regarding its ESP
equipment increased to $426,704 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
compared to $313,746 for the same period in 1996. The increase in maintenance
revenue primarily relates to additional ESP equipment delivered to MCI during
1997 that is subject to the Company's maintenance services. In addition, the
Company's service and support revenue relating to its software development
services provided to MCI decreased to $87,020 for the three months ended March
31, 1997, from $151,535 for the same period in 1996. The decrease is due to
certain non-recurring development projects delivered to MCI, which occurred
during the first three months of 1996.

         Service and support provided to HSN decreased to $0 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, in comparison to $365,841 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. The HSN maintenance agreement ended December 31, 1996.

         Service and support revenue for Vicorp BETEX products was $4,752,455
for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Vicorp's service and support revenue
includes maintenance and custom development services provided to its customers.

         Service and support revenue for BFD was $939,462 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. BFD's service and support revenue primarily includes
interactive voice response service bureau activity.

LICENSE FEES 

         License fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$1,960,195 compared to $630,370 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
License fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997, relating to its
UniPort product line was $707,650 and $1,252,545 for the BETEX product line.
The Company anticipates generating future license fee revenue for its UniPort
and BETEX products, although no assurance can be given for such future revenue.

COST OF SALES AND GROSS MARGIN 

         Cost of sales increased to $3,573,702 (36% of revenue) for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $1,856,631 (32% of revenue) for the
three months ended March 31, 1996. However, the Company's gross margin increased
to $6,481,589 (64% of revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
compared to $4,007,150 (68% of revenue) for the three months ended March 31,
1996. The primary reason for the increase in the Company's gross margin dollar
amount is an increase in the Company's total revenue. The decrease in the
Company's gross margin percentage is primarily associated with a change in
product mix. The Company had certain high margin sales to MCI during the first
quarter of 1996 which did not recur during the same period in 1997.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6,566,839 
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $3,419,895 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is primarily
due to the following: 

         -        Selling, general and administrative expenses associated with
                  the acquisition of Vicorp was approximately $4,005,000.

         -        Selling, general and administrative expenses associated with
                  the BFD acquisition was approximately $677,000.

         Although overall selling, general and administrative expenses from
continuing operations increased during the three months ended March 31, 1997,
in comparison to previous periods, the Company has made efforts at managing and
controlling costs in order to improve the alignment of cost outlays against
potential revenue opportunities. Specific cost savings include payroll and
related costs due to consolidation of certain functions and advertising and
trade show expenditures. Considering the impact of the Vicorp and BFD
acquisitions, the Company expects its total selling, general and administrative
expenses will increase in the future. 

RESEARCH, ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT

         Research, engineering and development expenses decreased to $682,828
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $898,486 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease in research, engineering and
development expenses primarily relates to the reduction in required development
work associated with the Company's UniPort product. However, resources will
continue to be directed toward product improvements and enhancements for future
purchased releases of the Company's products. Additionally, the Company will
continue to evaluate its different product lines to maximize the impact of the
research, engineering and development expenditures.

         The Company believes it operates in a highly competitive market; and,
in order to maintain a competitive position, the Company's existing products
must be continually improved and new products must be developed. The amount and
timing of future research, engineering, and development expenditures will
depend upon, among other factors, future new contract revenue and the Company's
ability to fund these costs from future operating cash flow and bank or other
forms of financing.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

         Depreciation and amortization was $1,756,405 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, compared to $600,706 for the three months ended March 31,
1996. The increase is primarily due to amortization expenses associated with
intangible assets acquired with the Vicorp and BFD acquisitions. 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

         The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for
deferred income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income
taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing
assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

INVESTMENT GAIN ON MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES

         For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company had an 
unrealized investment gain of $371,218 relating to its sale of marketable equity
securities. No such transaction occurred during the same period in 1997.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)

         For the three months ended March 31, 1997, net interest (expense)
income was $(87,753) compared to $144,409 during the same period in 1996. The
increase in net interest expense is primarily due to certain interest bearing
debt assumed by the Company in connection with the Vicorp and BFD acquisitions.
Additionally, the Company's interest bearing cash and cash equivalent amounts
decreased due to requirements to fund negative cash flow from operations.

LITIGATION 

         Reference is made to the legal proceedings described at Part 1, Item
3, in the Company's December 31, 1996, Form 10-K. The Company is subject to
certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. After taking
into consideration legal counsel's evaluation of such actions, management is of
the opinion that their final resolution will not have any significant adverse
effect upon the Company's business or its consolidated financial statements.

                                                                              7
<PAGE>   9
FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital deficiency of
$807,047 compared to net working capital of $355,645 at December 31, 1996. The
decrease in net working capital is primarily due to the repayment of a
$1,269,475 note payable during the first quarter of 1997. The Company expects
that with the acquisition of Vicorp and BFD, as described below, its working
capital requirements will increase significantly over prior periods and that it
will be able to fund its operating and investing activities for fiscal 1997.

         The Company's accounts and contracts receivable decreased to
$10,920,504 as of March 31, 1997, from $12,400,000 as of December 31, 1996. The
decrease is primarily due to collection of certain large receivables
outstanding at December 31, 1996. 

         The Company's supplies and other current assets increased to
$1,747,546 as of March 31, 1997, from $1,652,734 as of December 31, 1996. The
increase is primarily due to the replenishment of inventory which was sold
prior to the end of 1996.

         The Company's costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts increased to $3,899,412 as of March 31, 1997, from $3,064,978 as of
December 31, 1996. The increase is primarily associated with certain of Vicorp's
product delivery contracts in process for its customers. Such amounts as of 
March 31, 1997, are expected to be fully billed by Vicorp by September 30, 1997.

         The Company's current portion of long-term debt decreased to
$1,092,982 as of March 31, 1997, from $2,374,287 as of December 31, 1996. The
Company's long-term debt decreased to $211,742 as of March 31, 1997, from
$369,377 as of December 31, 1996. The decrease is primarily due to certain debt
re-paid by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 1997.

         The Company's accounts payable increased to $5,442,852 as of March 31,
1997, from $4,395,128 as of December 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to
the timing of certain vendor payments.

         The Company's accrued expenses decreased to $7,095,090 as of March 31,
1997, from $8,052,522 as of December 31, 1996. The decrease is primarily due to
payments made during the first quarter of 1997 relating to amounts accrued at
December 31, 1996. 

         The Company's billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted
contracts decreased to $3,058,988 as of March 31, 1997, from $3,753,132 as of
December 31, 1996. The decrease is primarily associated with the completion and
billing of certain of Vicorp's software development contracts. 

         The Company's deferred revenue balance increased to $3,861,068 as of
March 31, 1997, from $2,689,044 as of December 31, 1996. The Company's deferred
revenue balance primarily represents prepaid maintenance contracts for services
to be provided to its customers.

         The Company incurred approximately $393,000 in expenditures for capital
assets during the three months ended March 31, 1997. Future levels of capital 
expenditures will be dependent upon cash availability from operating activities 
and additional sources of bank funding or other forms of financing which may or 
may not be available to the Company upon acceptable terms and conditions. 

         During April, 1997, the Company completed a $4,500,000 financing with
three of its shareholders, RMS Ltd. Partnership, Vulcan Ventures, Inc. and
Primwest Holding N.V. ("the Shareholders"). In connection with the financing,
each shareholder invested $1,500,000 and received 1,500 shares of a newly
designated class of preferred stock. The Series B Preferred Stock carries a
cumulative 8% dividend and may be converted, at the Company's option at any
time prior to December 31, 1997, into new securities on the same terms as such
securities may be offered to third parties. In the event the Company does not
effect a mandatory conversion of the securities, each shareholder will be
entitled to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock after
December 31, 1998, at approximately $4.47 per share. In addition to the Series
B Preferred Stock, each of the Shareholders received a warrant to purchase
150,000 shares of common stock. The warrants will be exercisable for a five
year period beginning April, 1998 at approximately $6.09. The Company granted
the Shareholders certain registration and anti-dilution rights in connection
with the transaction. 

         Management is exploring additional opportunities for financing
sources. Although management feels that the Company will be able to fund its
operating and investing activities through fiscal 1997 through the use of its
current working capital, including the collection of existing accounts
receivables and the generation of future revenues, additional sources of
capital are being investigated for future requirements. However, there is no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on
acceptable terms and conditions. 

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

         The foregoing discussion in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking
statements that reflect management's current views with respect to future
events and the financial performance and condition of the Company. Such
statements involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain impor-

8
<PAGE>   10
tant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated. Some of the important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those anticipated include: 

         -        The Company competes in an industry marked by frequent
                  technological changes which will force the Company to expend
                  funds to develop new products and implement new technologies

         -        The various markets into which the Company sells its products
                  are undergoing significant changes with increasing demands
                  for product innovations

         -        The Company must be successful in competing against many
                  competitors, many of which have significantly greater assets
                  than the Company

         -        The Company will be required to properly estimate costs under
                  fixed price contracts

         -        Increased risk of litigation in the Company's industry
                  resulting from aggressive prosecutions of intellectual
                  property claims

         -        The Company's ability to retain its larger customers,
                  including MCI

         -        Availability of certain hardware and software components
                  which are incorporated with the Company's products and are
                  purchased from a limited number of vendors

         -        The Company's ability to hire and retain qualified personnel

         -        Legislative changes affecting the Company's markets,
                  including the Telecommunications Act of 1996

         -        Given the Company's acquisition of Vicorp and its large
                  presence in international markets, regulatory, monetary and
                  inflationary factors can negatively impact the Company's
                  operations in the future.

         Many of such uncertainties are outside the Company's control and could
postpone, delay, or eliminate potential sales opportunities and, therefore,
affect the Company's operations. Due to such uncertainties and risk, readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date hereof. 

INFLATION 

         Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's
operations. 

SEASONALITY 

         Seasonality has not had a significant impact on the Company's
operations.
