(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 six months ended
July 31, 1997 and 1996:

4. 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 $986,000 to
$18,265,000 as of July 31, 1997 from $17,279,000 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 $454,000 and property and equipment
additions of $296,000.
 
        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 $12,085,000 for the six months ended July 31,
1997 and $12,114,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1996, a
decrease of $29,000. Revenues were $6,103,000 for the quarter ended
July 31, 1997 and $6,207,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1996, a
decrease of $104,000 or 2%.

        License fees were $7,573,000 for the six months ended July 31,
1997 compared to $8,419,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1996, a
decrease of $846,000 or 10%. License fees were $3,770,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1997 and $4,310,000 for the quarter ended July
31, 1996, a decrease of $540,000 or 13%. License fees decreased
primarily as a result of the continued declining sales of the
Company's older generation products.  
   

        Service fees were $4,512,000 for the six months ended July 31,
1997 compared to $3,695,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1996, an
increase of $817,000 or 22%. Service fees were $2,333,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1997 compared to $1,897,000 for the quarter
ended July 31, 1996, an increase of $436,000 or 23%. 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 $665,000 or 6% of revenues and $563,000 or 5% of
revenues for the six months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Cost of license fees was $396,000 or 6% of revenues for
quarter ended July 31, 1997. For the comparable quarter of the prior
year, cost of license fees was $292,000 or 5% of revenues. The
increase in cost of license fees in dollars and as a percentage of
revenues for the six months and quarter ended July 31,
1997 is due primarily to increases in royalties related to licensed
products. Royalties related to licensed products were $215,000 and
$83,000 and $144,000 and $50,000 for the six months and the quarters
ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


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 $1,599,000 or 13% of
revenues and $1,551,000 or 13% of revenues for the six months ended
July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Cost of service fees was
$817,000 or 13% of revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 1997. Cost
of service fees was $788,000 or 13% of revenues for the quarter ended
July 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 Company expects costs of service fees to
continue to increase in dollars as the Company's customer base
expands.

Development Expenses

    Development expenses were $1,105,000 or 9% of revenues for the
six months ended July 31, 1997 compared to $1,005,000 or 8% of
revenues for the six months ended July 31, 1996, an increase of 10%.
Development expenses were $587,000 or 10% of revenues for the quarter
ended July 31, 1997 and $507,000 or 8% of revenues for the quarter
ended July 31, 1996. The increase in development expenses for the six
months and quarter ended July 31, 1997 is due principally to the
addition of personnel needed for modifying and enhancing all the
Company's products and for developing new products.

Selling Expenses

   Selling expenses were $5,852,000 for the six months ended July
31, 1997 as compared to $5,154,000 for the six months ended July 31,
1996, an increase of 14%. Selling expenses were $2,788,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1997 and $2,557,000 for the quarter ended July
31, 1996, an increase of 9%. Selling expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 48% for the six months ended July 31, 1997 and 43% for
the six months ended July 31, 1996, and 46% for the quarter ended July
31, 1997 and 41% for the quarter ended July 31, 1996. The increase in
selling expenses in dollars and as a percentage of revenues for the
six months and quarter ended July 31, 1997 is due principally to the
increase of sales and marketing compensation and increased 
marketing expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

        General and administrative expenses were $2,112,000 for the
six months ended July 31, 1997 and $2,290,000 for the six months ended
July 31, 1996, a decrease of 8%. General and administrative expenses
were $1,087,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1997 and $1,221,000 for
the quarter ended July 31, 1996, a decrease of 11%. General and
administrative expenses were 17% of revenues for the six months ended
July 31, 1997 and 19% of revenues for the six months ended July 31,
1996. These expenses were 18% of revenues for the quarter ended July
31, 1997 and 20% for the quarter ended July 31, 1996. The decrease in
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the
six months and quarter ended July 31, 1997 is due primarily to a 
reduction in the provision for doubtful accounts needed, coupled with
a decrease in administrative personnel. 


Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate on pretax income was 14% and
29% for the six months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
17% and 31% for the quarters ended July 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Income tax expense was $145,000 and $519,000 for the six
months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Income tax expense
was $100,000 and $295,000 for the quarters ended July 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for the six
months and the quarter ended July 31, 1997 was due principally to a
decrease in operating income and a relative increase of tax free
interest income as a percentage of total pretax income. The decrease
in the effective tax rate for the six months and quarter ended July
31, 1997 was due principally to the relative effect tax credits had on
the lower operating income.

        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, 1997 was approximately $784,000. The tax
liability on these earnings, if repatriated, would not be material.

Income Per Share

        Net income per share decreased to $0.19 from $0.27, or 30%,
for the six months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net
income per share decreased to $0.11 from $0.14, or 21%, for the
quarters ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This decrease was
due primarily to decreased income from operations.
