INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Logicraft Information Systems, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona

We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Logicraft
Information  Systems,  Inc. (a majority owned subsidiary of Information Handling
Services,   Inc.,  a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  TBG  Services,   Inc.)  and
subsidiaries as of November 30, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  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 audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  such consolidated  financial  statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Logicraft Information Systems, Inc.
and  subsidiaries at November 30, 1996, and the results of their  operations and
their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Logicraft
      Information  Systems,   Inc.,  its  wholly-owned   subsidiary,   Logicraft
      Information Systems,  Europe Corp.("LIS  Europe"),  and its majority-owned
      subsidiary,  H+H  Zentrum  ("H+H")  (collectively,   the  "Company").  All
      intercompany transactions are eliminated.  The Company is a majority-owned
      subsidiary of Information Handling Services,  Inc. ("IHS"), a wholly-owned
      subsidiary  of TBG  Services,  Inc.  The  Company  develops,  markets  and
      supports  products  that make it easier to manage and  service  local area
      networks.

      The following are the significant accounting policies of the Company:

      a.    Inventories  are  stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out
            ("FIFO") basis) or market.

      b.    Equipment   and   leasehold   improvements   are   stated  at  cost.
            Depreciation   and   amortization   are   computed   utilizing   the
            straight-line  method  based on the  estimated  useful  lives of the
            related  assets or, for leasehold  improvements,  the lease term, if
            shorter. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

                                                                     Useful Life

        Equipment                                                       5 years
        Furniture and fixtures                                          5 years
        Leasehold improvements                                          5 years

      c     Income taxes are provided based upon the provisions of Statement of
            Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 109,  Accounting  for
            Income Taxes, which among other things, requires that recognition of
            deferred  income taxes be measured by the  provisions of enacted tax
            laws in effect at the date of the consolidated financial statements.

      d.    Research and Development  Expenses - Costs and expenses which can be
            clearly  identified  as  research  and  development  are  charged to
            research and development expense as incurred.  Costs which relate to
            products that have reached technological feasibility are capitalized
            and are then amortized into costs of sales.

      e.    Revenue  Recognition - The Company  recognizes  revenue from product
            sales upon  shipment.  Sales to  distributors  in the United  States
            represent  approximately 53% of the Company's net sales. The Company
            also  has  direct   sales  to  the  end  user  which   accounts  for
            approximately  36% of the Company's net sales.  The remaining 11% of
            sales is comprised of international  sales which includes Europe and
            the Far East.  The amount of potential  product  returns,  including
            returns  under the  Company's  warranty  program,  is estimated  and
            provided for in the period of sale.
                                      -6-
<PAGE>
            Revenue from product services  including  installation  services and
            maintenance  contracts,   is  recognized  upon  performance  of  the
            installation  or  service  or over the time  period  covered  by the
            maintenance  contract.  During 1996,  sales were made of systems for
            which the Company has retained a significant  performance obligation
            in the form of delivery of a significantly  enhanced  version of the
            software  which was sold as part of the systems.  The Company orally
            guaranteed  delivery  of the new  version of the  software or in its
            absence the right of return.  Accordingly,  the Company has deferred
            revenue recognition related to these sales.

      f.    Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company  considers all highly liquid
            investments  with an initial  maturity of three months or less to be
            cash equivalents.

      g     Use of  Estimates  - The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
            conformity with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily
            requires  management to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect
            the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure of
            contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date of the  financial
            statements and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during
            the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  these
            estimates.

      h     Product  Concentration  - The market for the  Company's  products is
            characterized  by rapidly  changing  technology,  short product life
            cycles and  evolving  industry  standards.  The  Company has derived
            substantially  all of its revenues from the development and sales of
            a limited number of CD-ROM management and CD-ROM network solutions.

      i.    Minority Interest - In May 1995,  Logicraft acquired an 80% interest
            in H+H, a  networked  CD ROM  system  integration  company  based in
            Germany.  Accordingly,  20% of the  earnings for H+H is allocated to
            the minority interest account annually.

      j.    New  Accounting   Pronouncement  -  In  March  1995,  the  Financial
            Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
            Standards No. 121,  Accounting for  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets
            and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to  Be  Disposed  Of.  This  Statement
            establishes  accounting  standards for the  impairment of long-lived
            assets,  certain  identifiable  intangibles and goodwill  related to
            those assets to be held and used and  long-lived  assets and certain
            identifiable  intangibles  to be disposed  of. The Company  does not
            expect the adoption of this accounting standard to materially impact
            its results of operations or financial position.

2.    INVENTORIES

      Inventories consisted of the following at November 30, 1996:

                                                                         (000's)

      put option  under which the minority  shareholders  have the option to put
      the  shares to the  Company  beginning  May 1,  1999,  and  under  certain
      conditions, prior to that date. The Company also has the right to purchase
      the  shares  held by the  minority  shareholders  under the same terms and
      conditions as the put option.  The purchase price of the shares subject to
      this agreement is the greater of DM 320,000 or a price adjusted  according
      to a formula based on the average net income of H+H. At November 30, 1996,
      the minimum  purchase  price  according  to the terms of the  agreement of

          b)   Pro Forma Financial Information -The required pro forma financial
               information is set forth below:

The  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  balance  sheet at  September  28,  1996
combines historical financial  information as if the acquisition had occurred on
September 28, 1996. The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statement of earnings
for the year ended  December  31, 1995 and the nine months ended  September  28,
1996 combine historical statements of earnings/(losses) for Microtest, Inc. (the
"Company") and the acquired company, Logicraft Information Systems, Inc.
("Logicraft"), as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995.

The  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  balance  sheet at  September  28,  1996
combines historical  financial  information of the Company at September 28, 1996
and Logicraft at August 31, 1996. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement
of earnings for the nine months ended  September  28, 1996  combines  historical
financial  information  of the Company for the nine months ended  September  28,
1996 and Logicraft for the nine months ended August 31, 1996.  The unaudited pro
forma  consolidated  statement of earnings for the year ended  December 31, 1995
combines  historical  financial  information  of the  Company for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and  Logicraft  for the year ended  November 30, 1995.  As the
most recent fiscal year end of Logicraft  differs from the Company's fiscal year
end by less than 93 days, no adjustment was made to Logicraft's income statement
for the purpose of the pro forma presentation.

The detailed  assumptions  used to prepare the unaudited pro forma  consolidated
financial  information  are  contained in the  accompanying  Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated  Financial  Information.   The  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated
statement of earnings  reflects the use of the purchase method of accounting for
the acquisition.

In connection with the allocation of the purchase price, the Company recorded an
expense of $15.7  million to record the value of  software  research it acquired
from  Logicraft for products for which  technological  feasibility  has not been
established and for which no alternative  future use existed.  The non-recurring
charge is not included in the pro forma  consolidated  statement of earnings for
the year ended  December  31, 1995,  however,  it is reflected as a reduction of
retained earnings in the pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet at September 28,
1996.

The  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated   financial   information  assumes  the
acquisition  was funded from currently  available  cash. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated  financial information does not purport to represent the results of
operation of the Company that actually  would have resulted had the  acquisition
occurred on January 1, 1995,  nor should it be taken as indicative of the future
results  of  operations.   The  unaudited  pro  forma   consolidated   financial
information  should be read in conjunction with the notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated  Financial  Information and the separate  financial  statements and
notes thereto of the Company and Logicraft.
