Item 3.  Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.

    The following documents filed by CITATION Computer Systems, Inc. (the
"COMPANY") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") are
incorporated herein by reference:

          (i)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
               ended March 31, 1997;

          (ii) The Company's Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31,
               1997; and

         (iii) The description of the Company's Common Stock, $0.10 par value
               per share, set forth in the Company's Registration Statement
               on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 33-48332) and any amendment or report
               filed for the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14, and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE
ACT"), after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
made a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained herein or in a document incorporated herein by reference shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement
to the extent that a statement contained in a subsequently filed document
incorporated herein by reference modifies or supersedes such document. Any such
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

         Where any document or part thereof is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement, the Company will provide without charge to each person
to whom a Prospectus with respect to the CITATION Computer Systems, Inc. Equity
Participation Plan is delivered, upon written or oral request of such person, a
copy of any and all of the information incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, excluding exhibits unless such exhibits are specifically
incorporated by reference.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.  See Item 3(iii) above.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.  Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION") and Amended and Restated By-laws (the "BY-LAWS") provide for
mandatory indemnification rights, subject to limited exceptions, for any
director or officer of the Company who by reason of the fact that he or she is a
director or officer of the Company, is involved in a legal proceeding of any
nature. Such indemnification rights include reimbursement for expenses incurred
by such director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such
proceeding in accordance with the applicable provisions of General Business and
Corporation Law of Missouri. The Company may from time to time agree to provide
similar indemnifications to certain employees and other agents. The SEC has
taken the position that these provisions will have no effect on claims arising
under the federal securities laws.

         The Company also maintains directors' and officers' liability
insurance.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.  Not Applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

         The following exhibits are filed herewith or incorporated herein by

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         (a)   The registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers and sales are
                    being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
                    statement:

                      (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section
                           10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
                           (the "SECURITIES ACT");

                     (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                           arising after the effective date of the registration
                           statement (or the most recent post-effective
                           amendment thereof), which, individually or in the
                           aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                           information set forth in the registration statement;

                    (iii)  To include any material information with respect to
                           the plan of distribution previously disclosed in the
                           registration statement or any material change to such
                           information in the registration statement;

                    Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
               do not apply if the information required to be included in a
               post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
               periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
               or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
               reference in this registration statement.

               (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                    Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment 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.

               (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                    amendment any of the securities being registered which
                    remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

<PAGE>   4

         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

         WHEREAS, the Optionee is an employee of the Company and serves the

         WHEREAS, the Company, in order to induce the Optionee to continue in
the employ of the Company, to incentivize Optionee to acquire or increase
Optionee's equity interest in the Company, and to motivate Optionee to
contribute to the success of the Company, desires to grant the Optionee an
option to acquire a further proprietary interest in the Company through the
purchase of shares of stock of the Company via the exercise of stock options;
and

         WHEREAS, the Company has decided to grant a stock option to the
Optionee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which the Optionee desires to
accept;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein and for other valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee an option
in the amount and subject to the terms provided in this Agreement (the "OPTION")
effective as of the date hereof (the "GRANT DATE"). The Option is not intended
to be and shall not be treated as a qualified incentive stock option as defined
under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE").

         2. SHARES. The shares of stock subject to the Option shall be the
Company's authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock, $0.10 par value
per share (the "CAPITAL STOCK").


                                                                         Page 1


<PAGE>   2



         3. NUMBER OF SHARES. The maximum number of shares of Capital Stock that
the Optionee may purchase under the Option is 50,000. The actual number of
shares that Optionee may purchase hereunder, which shall in no event exceed the
aforesaid maximum number, shall be determined based upon open-market purchases
of Capital Stock by Optionee, as described below.

         The actual number of shares that Optionee may purchase under the Option
granted herein (the "MATCHED SHARES") shall be equal to the total number of
shares of Capital Stock that Optionee purchases through a broker via the Nasdaq
National Market System for the account of Optionee (including shares titled
jointly with a spouse) or for the account of a revocable living trust of which
Optionee is the grantor or an individual retirement account of which the
Optionee is the participant during the Purchase Window (as defined), less any
shares of Capital Stock sold or otherwise disposed of by Optionee during the
Purchase Window. If the total of the Optionee's purchases less dispositions of
Capital Stock during the Purchase Window exceeds the maximum number of shares
set forth above, only those purchases made up until the time (during the
Purchase Window) when the purchases less dispositions exceed the said maximum
number will be counted for purposes of determining the Matched Shares and the
price at which they can be purchased hereunder.

         The "PURCHASE WINDOW" shall be the period commencing on the Grant Date
and ending 90 days thereafter, unless extended by the Company by written notice
given to the Optionee prior to the expiration of said period.

         It shall be the responsibility of the Optionee to establish, within 30
days after the end of the Purchase Window, the number of shares of Capital Stock
comprising the Matched Shares by submitting documentation of purchases and any
disposition during the Purchase Window. The Optionee must set forth in writing
on forms provided by the Company such information as may be required to
determine the number of Matched Shares, and shall affirm that the facts and
documentation so submitted are true and correct. In the event of any
misrepresentation by the Optionee, the Company may elect to cancel or rescind
part or all of any Option hereunder.

         4. TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTION.

         The Option shall become exercisable with respect to that number of
shares of Capital Stock equal to one-third (1/3) of the Matched Shares fifteen
(15) months after the Grant Date.


                                                                         Page 2
     

<PAGE>   3



         The Option shall become exercisable with respect to that number of
shares of Capital Stock equal to another one-third (1/3) of the Matched Shares
twenty-seven (27) months after the Grant Date.

         The Option shall become exercisable with respect to that number of
shares of Capital Stock equal to the last one-third (1/3) of the Matched Shares
thirty-nine (39) months after the Grant Date.

         The exercise period pertaining to all of the shares of Capital Stock
described above will END upon the earliest to occur of the following:

         a. The date three (3) months after the Optionee's termination of
         employment with the Company for any reason other than retirement,
         disability or death; or

         b. The date thirty-six (36) months after termination of the Optionee's
         employment with the Company due to retirement or disability; or

         c. The date one (1) year after the Optionee's death, if and only if the
         Optionee was employed by the Company on the date three (3) months prior
         to the Optionee's death; or

         d. The date ten (10) years after the Grant Date.

         5. PRICE AND PAYMENT. The price per share of the Capital Stock which
the Optionee may purchase hereunder is equal to the weighted average purchase
price (not including brokerage commissions and related fees and costs) of the
Matched Shares. The weighted average shall equal the total of the purchase
prices paid by Optionee for all of the Matched Shares divided by the total
number of Matched Shares.

         The purchase price shall be payable in full in United States dollars in
cash or by certified check upon the exercise of the Option.

         6. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. This Option is not transferable by the
Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is
exercisable, during the Optionee's lifetime, only by the Optionee. Upon the
death of the Optionee, the personal representatives of the Optionee's estate, or
any person or persons who shall have acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest, inheritance, or otherwise by reason of the death of the Optionee
shall have the right to exercise the Option, provided that such exercise occurs
not

                                                                         Page 3
  

<PAGE>   4



more than ten (10) years after the Grant Date and also within one (1) year after
the Optionee's death.

         7. REQUIREMENTS FOR EXERCISE. The Option shall be exercisable subject
to the following requirements.

         a. The Optionee must be an employee of the Company at all times during
         the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending three (3) months
         before the earlier of the date of exercise of the Option or the date of
         the Optionee's death; provided, however, that if the Optionee
         terminates employment with the Company due to retirement or disability,
         then the aforementioned period shall be extended to end thirty-six (36)
         months before the date of exercise of the Option.

         b. So long as the Optionee remains an employee of the Company, the
         Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however, that
         the Optionee shall not exercise part of the Option for fewer than 500
         shares at one time unless the total number of shares subject to the
         Option is fewer than 500, in which case the Optionee shall not exercise
         the Option for fewer than all of such shares.

         c. Each exercise of an Option granted herein shall be accomplished by
         notice in writing to the Company accompanied by payment in cash or by
         certified check for the shares of Capital Stock to be purchased.

         9.  OBLIGATION TO THE OPTIONEE. The Optionee shall at no time be
obligated to exercise the Option.

         10. RIGHTS OF A SHAREHOLDER. The Optionee and any transferee of the
Option shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any
shares of Capital Stock which are the subject of the Option until the date of
the issuance of a stock certificate to him or her for such shares.

         11. ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN STOCK OF THE COMPANY. In the event of
a reorganization, recapitalization, change of shares, stock split, spin-off,
stock dividend, reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of stock
of the Company, or the merger, consolidation, rights offering, or any other
change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Company shall
make such adjustment as it deems appropriate in the number and kind of shares of
Capital Stock subject to the Option or in the option price; provided, however,
that no such adjustment shall give the Optionee any additional or lesser
benefits under the Option.

                                                                         Page 4


<PAGE>   5



         12. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS NOT AFFECTED. Neither the granting of the Option
or its exercise shall be construed as granting to the Optionee any right with
respect to continuance of employment with the Company. Except as may otherwise
be limited by a written agreement between the Company and the Optionee, the
right of the Company to terminate at will the Optionee's employment with the
Company at any time and for any reason whatsoever is specifically reserved by
the Company, and acknowledged by the Optionee.

         13. AMENDMENT OF OPTION. The Option may be amended by the Board of
Directors of the Company at any time (i) if the Board determines, in its sole
discretion, that amendment is necessary or advisable in light of any addition to
or change in the Code or in the regulations issued thereunder, or any federal or
state securities law or other laws or regulation, which change occurs after the
Grant Date and by its terms applies to the Option; or (ii) other than in the
circumstances described in clause (i), with the consent of the Optionee. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cancel the
Option at any time prior to the Optionee's exercise of the Option if, in the
opinion of the Company, the Optionee engages in activities contrary to the
interests of the Company.

         14. NOTICE. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement
shall be in writing addressed to it in care of its Secretary at its executive
offices at 424 South Woods Mill Road, Suite 200, Chesterfield, Missouri 63017,
and any notice to the Optionee shall be in writing addressed to the Optionee at
the current address shown on the payroll records of the Company. Any notice
shall be deemed to be duly given if and when properly addressed and deposited,
postage paid, in the United States mail or when hand delivered to the party to
whom it is addressed.

         15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and shall be subject to the internal laws of the State of Missouri, except to
the extent preempted by federal law.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officers
to execute this Agreement and the Optionee has placed his signature hereon as of
the _____ day of ______________________, 19___, and effective as of the Grant
Date.

         Re:      CITATION COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INC. -- FORM S-8

Gentlemen:

         This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to the filing of a Form
S-8 (the "FORM S-8") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
behalf of CITATION Computer Systems, Inc. (the "COMPANY") registering the
issuance of shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (the
"COMMON STOCK"), pursuant to the CITATION Computer Systems, Inc. Equity
Participation Plan (the "PLAN").

         In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have examined originals
or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of:

          A.      The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the
                  "ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION");

          B.      The Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company (the
                  "BY-LAWS");

          C.      A specimen form of Common Stock Certificate; and

          D.      The CITATION Computer Systems, Inc. Equity Participation Plan.

In addition, we have examined and relied upon other documents, certificates,
corporate records, opinions, and instruments, obtained from the Company or other
sources believed by us to be reliable, as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion and upon which we believe
we are justified in relying. We have also relied upon

CITATION Computer Systems, Inc.

statements of fact rendered by members of management of the Company and the
registrar and transfer agent of the Company.

         Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations,
exclusions, and exceptions set forth below, we are of the opinions that

         (i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the character of the property owned or leased or
the nature of the business transacted by it makes qualification necessary
(except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse
effect on the business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of
operations, or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole),
and has full corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and to
conduct its business being conducted.

         (ii) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 5,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, of which no shares are outstanding,
and 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share, of which <XXX>
shares are outstanding. Proper corporate proceedings have been taken to validly
authorize such authorized capital stock.

         (iii) The issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
the Plan will not conflict with or result in a breach of, or a default under,
the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company.

         In addition to the assumptions and the other qualifications stated
elsewhere herein, we make the following further qualifications with respect to
the opinions stated herein:

1.                We have conducted no independent investigation as to the
                  factual matters stated herein. We have relied with respect to
                  those factual matters on the documents, statements, records,
                  certificates, and instruments submitted to and/or reviewed by
                  us to the effect that the facts, assumptions, and factual
                  statements set forth in this opinion are true, accurate, and
                  correct. With respect

                  to the number of issued and outstanding Shares of Common Stock
                  we have relied upon statements from the registrar and transfer
                  agent of the Company.

2.                No opinion should be considered to be given except as
                  expressly stated herein. Our opinions are limited to the

                  opinions, we do not undertake to advise you of any changes in
                  such laws or facts which may occur after the date hereof. An
                  opinion is not an assurance or a guaranty.

         This opinion is furnished by us pursuant to the requirements of Item
601 of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "ACT"), and the requirements of Form S-8 as set forth in the Act and the
rules and regulations of the SEC pursuant to the Act and is solely for your
benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form S-8.

                                                Very truly yours,
