                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1  -   NATURE  OF BUSINESS

4Front Software International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "4Front")
is a UK based specialized computer services company. The Company provides key
elements of distributed computing, including systems development and
integration, storage and client-server solutions and products, as well as
hardware and software support and help desk services.

NOTE 2  -   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with 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, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
condition, the results of operations, the changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows of 4Front Software International Inc. for the interim periods
presented.

The results of the three months ended April 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the full year.  These interim
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K and its Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended January 31, 1997.

NOTE 3 - ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS

SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, was issued in February 1997.  This Statement
simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in
APB Opinion No. 15, Earnings per Share, and makes them more comparable to
international EPS standards.  Statement 128 replaces the presentation of primary
EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.  In addition, the Statement requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for
all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of
the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  The Group has adopted Statement 128
for its financial statements.

The Company has adopted SFAS 128 EARNINGS PER SHARE, and in accordance with that
standard is showing basic and fully diluted earnings per share.

The computation for basic earnings per share is based on the net income divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

The Computation for diluted earnings per share is based on the Treasury Stock
Method.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

The Company files a separate U.S. federal income tax return for its domestic 
operations and a UK income tax return for its foreign operations.  The United 
Kingdom subsidiaries compute taxes at rates in effect in that country and 
become payable when assessed by the Inland Revenue.  Deferred federal income

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

OVERVIEW

The Company is a UK based specialized computer services company which 
provides a wide range of high-end Information Technology solutions and 
services, principally to Financial Times UK Top 500 companies and government 
authorities.  The Company provides key elements of distributed computing, 
including systems development and integration, storage and client-server 
solutions and products, as well as extensive hardware and software support, 
including help desk support services.  The Company believes it has a 
competitive advantage as a single-source, multivendor, multiple service 
solution provider to a broad range of corporate computing needs.

Effective August 15, 1996, the Company acquired Hammer Distribution Limited 
("Hammer").  Hammer is a supplier of storage solutions and computer 
sub-systems.  The Company believes that the acquisition of Hammer will assist 
the Company in consolidating a leading position within the UK market for high 
end storage solutions and sub-systems.

Effective October 11, 1996 the Company acquired Datapro Computers Group 
Limited ("Datapro").  Datapro is a supplier of specialized services including 
systems integration, hardware and software maintenance and systems support, 
and other technology enabling services.  The Company believes that the 
acquisition of Datapro will assist the Company in strengthening its position 
in the independent hardware maintenance industry.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Because of the effect upon the Company's results of operations for the year 
ended January 31, 1997 of acquisitions made during that period and 
restructuring and reorganization, direct comparison of the Company's results 
of operations for the periods ended April 30, 1996 and April 30, 1997 will 
not, in the view of management of the Company, prove meaningful. Instead, a 
summary of the elements which management of the Company believes essential to 
an analysis of the results of operations for such periods is presented below.

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
APRIL 30, 1996


REVENUES

Revenues for the three months ended April 30, 1997 were $18.6 million, an 
increase of $8.0 million, or approximately 76.5% compared to $10.6 million 
for the three months ended April 30, 1996.   Revenues from products were 
$10.4 million, or 56% of the total revenue, with revenues from the supply of 
services at $8.2 million, or 44% of the total revenues.  In the comparable 
period of the prior year, Product revenues were 69.5% of the total revenues 
and supply of services were 30.5 % of the total revenues.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 1997 was $5.6 million, an 
increase of $2.3 million, or 71.0% compared to $3.3 million for the three 
months ended April 30, 1996.  Gross margin decreased from 31.0% for the three 
months ended April 30, 1996 to 30.0% for the three months ended April 30, 
1997.  Gross profit for products increased 16.7% from $1.3 million for the 
three months ended April 30, 1996 to $1.5 million for the three months to 
April 30, 1997.  Gross profit for services increased 108.0% from $1.9 million 
for the three months ended April 30, 1996 to $4.0 million for the three 
months ended April 30, 1997.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.4 million, an increase 
of $1.7 million, or 60.5% compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended 
April 30, 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and 
administrative expenses decreased to 23.4% from 25.7% in the three months 
ended April 30, 1996.  Selling general and administrative expenses increased 
primarily as a result of a growth in infrastructure necessary to support the 
expansion of the Company's businesses.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended April 30, 
1997 was $406,000, an increase of $263,000, or 64.7% compared to $143,000 for 
the three months ended April 30, 1996.  This increase arose principally from 
the acquisitions of Hammer and Datapro acquired in August 1996 and October 
1996, respectively.  Depreciation was $195,000, an increase of $114,000 or 
141.1%, from $81,000 for the prior period.  Amortization of goodwill from 
acquisitions was $210,000, an increase of $148,000, or 240.2%, from $62,000 
for the prior period.  An amortization period of ten years is utilized with 
respect to acquisitions.

INCOME BEFORE INTEREST EXPENSE, INCOME TAXES AND SHARE OF RESULTS IN EQUITY 
INVESTEE

Income before interest expense, income taxes and share of results in equity 
investee ("IBITI") for the three months ended April 30, 1997 was $834,000, a 
increase of $418,000, or 100.4%, as compared to $416,000 for the three months 
ended April 30, 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, IBITI increased  to 4.5% 
in the three months ended April 30, 1997 as compared to 3.9% for the three 
months ended April 30, 1996.

IBITI before depreciation and amortization increased for the three months 
ended April 30, 1997 to $1.24 million from $559,000 for the three months 
ended April 30, 1996 an increase of $681,000 or 121.8%.  As a percentage of 
revenues, IBITIDA increased to 6.6% for the three month period ended April 
30, 1997 from 5.3% for the comparable period ended April 30, 1996.

EQUITY INVESTEE LOSS

Equity investee loss was $52,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1996 
reflecting the Company's proportion attributable to the ActionTrac Joint 
Venture. There was no such loss during the three months ended April 30, 1997 
as the Company ceased its participation in the ActionTrac Joint Venture due 
to the bankruptcy of the other party to the Joint Venture.

INTEREST

Interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 1997 was $71,000 a 
decrease of $33,000 or 31.3% compared to $104,000 for the three months ended 
April 30, 1996, arising from lower utilization of bank lines of credit during 
the period. Interest income increased from $4,000 for the three months ended 
April 30, 1996 to $78,000 an increase of $74,000, arising from larger cash 
balances on hand during the quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

From inception until June 1996, the Company's sources of capital had been 
cash flows from operations, private placements of securities, primarily from 
its controlling stockholders and related parties, and borrowings from banks.  
On June 19, 1996, the Company completed a public offering (the "Offering") of 
3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $5.75 per share. 
On July 9, 1996 the Company completed the sale of a further 450,000 shares, 
pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option.  As a result of this 
offering the Company raised net proceeds of $16.0 million.

As of April 30, 1997, the Company had lines of credit with UK banks in the 
amount of L2.3 million ($3.8 million).  As of April 30, 1997 $3.4 million was 
outstanding.

The outstanding credit facilities are secured by the assets of the Company 
and are periodically reviewed by the issuing institution.  Management expects 
to be able to maintain these credit arrangements for the foreseeable future, 
although no assurance can be given.

Outstanding advances from stockholders are shown on the Company's balance 
sheet as stockholder advances.  Outstanding advances as of April 30, 1997 
were $504,105.  These outstanding advances do not bear interest, and are 
payable on demand.

The Company's working capital increased from $5.6 million surplus at January 
31, 1997 to a surplus of $6.3 million at April 30, 1997.

Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 
1997 was $750,000, which reflected the net effect of a decrease in accounts 
payable, accrued liabilities, accounts receivable and deferred revenue and an 
increase in inventories.  Net cash used by investing activities was $1.2 
million, for the three months ended April 30, 1997, primarily reflecting cash 
used for the payment of contingent amounts due on the Hammer acquisition and 
for the purchase of equipment.  Net cash provided by financing activities was 
$2.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 1997, resulting primarily 
from increase of bank lines of credit and payments of outstanding obligations.

The Company believes that the net cash flows from operations and borrowing 
availability under its credit facilities, will satisfy the Company's 
anticipated working capital requirements through at least the next twelve 
months.  To the extent the Company raises additional capital by issuing 
equity or convertible debt securities, ownership dilution to the Company's 
stockholders will result.  In the event that adequate funds are not 
available, the Company's business may be adversely affected.

INFLATION

Inflation has not had a material effect upon the Company's results of 
operations to date.  In the event the rate of inflation should accelerate in 
the future, it is expected that costs in connection with the provision by the 
Company of its services and products will increase, and, to the extent such 
increased costs are not offset by increased revenues, the operations of the 
Company may be adversely affected.
