        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                          October 31, 1997
                             (unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations have been included.


2.   Note Receivable From Affiliate

     On April 18, 1995, the Company loaned $1.8 million to Daystar
Digital, Inc. pursuant to a note receivable (the "Note"). Under the
terms of the agreement, the Note was payable one year from the date of
the agreement. The Note bore interest payable monthly at a rate of
prime plus 1/2 percent adjusted quarterly, and was renewable at the
end of one year. The interest rate on the date of the agreement was 9
1/2%. The Company renewed the original agreement with Daystar Digital,
Inc. for an additional term ending June 30, 1997. Under the terms of
renewal, the Note bore interest payable monthly at a rate of prime
plus 1-1/2 percent, adjusted quarterly. The Note was guaranteed by
Intelligent Systems Corporation and was secured by 154,904 shares of
the Company's common stock and certificates of deposit totaling
$1,364,137 owned by Intelligent Systems Corporation. On July 31, 1997,
the Note was paid in full.

3.   Earnings Per Share

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted
for the Company's fourth quarter ending January 31, 1998. At that time
the Company will be required to change the method currently used to
compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods presented.
Under the new requirements, the Company will be required to report
"basic" earnings per share, which excludes the dilutive effect of
stock options, and "diluted" earnings per share. The following table
sets forth the pro forma results had earnings per share been
calculated under Statement No. 128 for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 1997 and 1996:

4.   Acquisition of Data Direct Explorer

     On September 29, 1997 the Company acquired the Data Direct
Explorer technology from Intersolv, Inc. The purchase price was
$300,000 plus a maximum of an additional $300,000 in contingent
consideration based upon the attainment of certain revenue levels
derived from the sale of products which include the acquired
technology. Because it is uncertain whether or not those revenue
levels can be attained, no additional consideration was recorded. The 
purchase price was allocated to certain intangible assets based upon
their market value. The Company intends to effect significant
enhancements to the existing technology in order to extend its useful
life. Because management believes that in its current state, the
technology has no alternative future use, a portion of the purchase
price equal to $280,000 was allocated to acquired research and
development cost and was expensed as a one-time, non-tax deductible
charge in the quarter ended October 31, 1997.

5.   Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company and various of its current and former executive
officers are party to certain class action litigation initiated in the
quarter ended October 31, 1997. The plaintiffs seek unspecified
damages based upon the increase and subsequent decrease in the market
value of shares of the Company's stock during the period from May 8,
1996 to February 3, 1997. Management intends to defend this action
vigorously and believes that the suite is without merit. While the
Company is unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of
the suite, management believes that the proceeding will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company or its financial statements.


6.   Reclassifications

     Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with 
current year presentation in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's working capital increased $1,224,000 to $18,398,000
as of October 31, 1997 from $17,174,000 as of January 31, 1997. This
increase was due primarily to increases in working capital provided
from operations partially offset by additions to capitalized software
development cost of $788,000 and property and equipment additions of
$440,000.
 
     The Company believes that the current cash, cash equivalents and
cash flow from operations will be sufficient to provide the liquidity
and capital resources to meet its lease obligations and to finance
operating needs, research and development activities and planned
growth for at least the next twelve months.

Results of Operations

Revenues

     Revenues were $17,986,000 for the nine months ended October 31,
1997 and $18,760,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996, a
decrease of $774,000 or 4%. Revenues were $5,901,000 for the quarter
ended October 31, 1997 and $6,646,000 for the quarter ended October
31, 1996, a decrease of $745,000 or 11%.

     License fees were $11,078,000 for the nine months ended October
31, 1997 compared to $13,142,000 for the nine months ended October 31,
1996, a decrease of $2,064,000 or 16%. License fees were $3,505,000
for the quarter ended October 31, 1997 and $4,723,000 for the quarter
ended October 31, 1996, a decrease of $1,218,000 or 26%. These
decreases were due primarily to a decrease in sales personnel related
to the continuing sales force transition.      

     Service fees were $6,908,000 for the nine months ended October
31, 1997 compared to $5,619,000 for the nine months ended October 31,
1996, an increase of $1,289,000 or 23%. Service fees were $2,396,000
for the quarter ended October 31, 1997 compared to $1,923,000 for the
quarter ended 


FORM 10-Q
Page 8 of 12
<PAGE>
October 31, 1996, an increase of $473,000 or 25%. Service fees
increased principally as a result of the increase in the installed
base of the Company's software products and increases in training and
consulting revenues.

Cost of License Fees

     Cost of license fees includes the amortization of capitalized 
software development costs, royalties related to licensed products and
the costs of magnetic media, packaging and documentation. Cost of
license fees was $984,000 or 5% of revenues and $931,000 or 5% of
revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Cost of license fees was $320,000 or 5% of revenues for
quarter ended October 31, 1997. For the comparable quarter of the
prior year, cost of license fees was $368,000 or 6% of revenues.

Cost of Service Fees

     Cost of service fees consists of the costs associated with
supplying customers with technical assistance and training and
consulting services. Cost of service fees was $2,478,000 or 14% of
revenues and $2,362,000 or 13% of revenues for the nine months ended
October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Cost of service fees was
$879,000 or 15% of revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 1997.
Cost of service fees was $811,000 or 12% of revenues for the quarter
ended October 31, 1996. The increase in cost of service fees in
dollars is due principally to increases in the Company's support,
training and consulting staffs. The increase in cost of service fees 
as a percentage of revenues is due primarily to the service fees
representing a larger percentage of total revenues as compared to the
previous year. The Company expects costs of service fees to continue
to increase in dollars as the Company's customer base expands.

Development Expenses

     Development expenses were $1,695,000 or 9% of revenues for the
nine months ended October 31, 1997 compared to $1,566,000 or 8% of
revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 1996. Development
expenses were $590,000 or 10% of revenues for the quarter ended
October 31, 1997 and $561,000 or 8% of revenues for the quarter ended
October 31, 1996.

Selling Expenses

     Selling expenses were $8,472,000 for the nine months ended
October 31, 1997 as compared to $7,785,000 for the nine months ended
October 31, 1996, an increase of $687,000 or 9%. Selling expenses were
$2,620,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 1997 and $2,631,000 for
the quarter ended October 31, 1996. Selling expenses as a percentage
of revenues were 47% for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and
41% for the nine months ended October 31, 1996, and 44% for the
quarter ended October 31, 1997 and 40% for the quarter ended October
31, 1996. The increase in selling expenses in dollars and as a
percentage of revenues for the nine months and quarter ended October
31, 1997 is due principally to the increase in residual fixed sales
costs related to temporary increases in sales personnel occurring in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative expenses were $3,208,000 for the nine 
months ended October 31, 1997 and $3,534,000 for the nine months ended 
October 31, 1996, a decrease of $326,000 or 9%. General and
administrative expenses were $1,096,000 for the quarter ended October
31, 1997 and $1,244,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 1996, a
decrease of $148,000 or 12%. General and administrative expenses were
18% of revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and 19% of
revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 1996. These expenses
were 19% of revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 1997 and 19%
for the quarter ended October 31, 1996.

Acquired Research and Development Costs

     On September 29, 1997 the Company acquired the Data Direct
Explorer technology from Intersolv, Inc. for $300,000 plus additional
contingent consideration excluding direct costs. The purchase price
was allocated to certain intangible assets and to acquired research
and development costs of $280,000 which was expensed as a one-time,
non-tax deductible charge in the quarter ended October 31, 1997.

Income Taxes

     The Company's effective tax rate on pretax income was 20% and 28%
for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
45% and 26% for the quarters ended October 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Income tax expense was $258,000 and $826,000 for the
nine months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Income tax
expense was $113,000 and $307,000 for the quarters ended October 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and
the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31,
1997 was due principally to a decrease in operating income. The
increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended October 31,
1997 is due primarily to the one-time, non-tax deductible charge
related to the acquisition of the Data Direct Explorer technology from
Intersolv, Inc. in September of 1997.

     The Company does not provide for U.S. federal income taxes on 
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are
considered to be permanently reinvested. The amount of undistributed
earnings which would be subject to U.S. federal income tax if
repatriated as of July 31, 1996 was approximately $743,000. The tax
liability on these earnings, if repatriated, would not be material.

Income Per Share

     Net income per share decreased to $0.22 from $0.44 for the nine 
months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net income per
share decreased to $0.03 from $0.18 for the quarters ended October 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively. This decrease was due primarily to
decreased income from operations, coupled with the one-time charge of
$280,000 or $0.06 per share related to purchased research and
development.
