Item 3.       Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

              Not Applicable.  James MacDougald acquired beneficial ownership of
              more than 5% of the Issuer's stock for Section 13(d) purposes when
              certain stock options granted to Mr. MacDougald under the Issuer's
              1993 Employee Stock Option Plan became exercisable within 60 days.
              See also Item 2(a) above.

Item 4.       Purpose of Transaction

              The stock  options  were  granted  to James  MacDougald  under the
              Issuer's 1993 Employee  Stock Option Plan, the purpose of which is
              to enable  the Issuer to  attract,  motivate  and  retain  certain
              employees by making it possible for them to 

                                        6

              purchase  shares  of the  Issuer  on terms  that will give them an
              interest in the future  success of the  businesses  of the Issuer.
              See Item 3 above.

              On April 30, 1999, the Issuer,  Ceridian  Corporation,  a Delaware
              corporation ("Ceridian"),  and Spring Acquisition Corp., a Florida
              corporation  and  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Ceridian  ("SAC"),
              entered  into  an  agreement  and  plan  of  merger  (the  "Merger
              Agreement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger  Agreement,  SAC
              commenced  a tender  offer on May 7, 1999 to  purchase  all of the
              issued and  outstanding  shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at a
              price of $25.50 per share. The Merger  Agreement  further provides
              that each share of Common  Stock not acquired by SAC in the tender
              offer  will  be  exchanged  for  the  same  consideration  payable
              pursuant to the tender offer in cash in connection with the merger
              of SAC with and into the Issuer.

              The Board of  Directors  of the Issuer,  upon which both James and
              Suzanne  MacDougald  serve as of the date hereof,  has unanimously
              approved  the  Merger  Agreement.  James  and  Suzanne  MacDougald
              presently  intend to  tender  all of the  shares  of Common  Stock
              beneficially  owned  by them,  including  the  shares  held by the
              MacDougald Family Limited Partnership, in the tender offer.
