ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
 
Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of SofTech, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Network
Systems Group, a division of SofTech, Inc. as of May 31, 1996 and May 31, 1995
and the statements of operations and investment of parent and cash flows for 
the three years in the period ended May 31, 1996.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of Network Systems Group and SofTech, Inc.'s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

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

     As discussed in Notes A and E, certain corporate expenses presented in
the financial statements represent allocations of the cost of services
provided to Network Systems Group by SofTech, Inc.  As a result, the 
financial statements presented may not be indicative of the financial
position or results of operations that would have been achieved had the 
Network Systems Group operated as a nonaffiliated entity.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Network Systems
Group, a division of SofTech, Inc., as of May 31, 1996 and May 31, 1995, 
and the results of operations and cash flows for the three years in the
period ended May 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     As discussed in Note F, on September 12, 1996, certain assets and 
liabilities of the Network Systems Group were sold to Data Systems Network
Corporation.

           NETWORK SYSTEMS GROUP, a division of SofTech, Inc.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

	PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

	The Network Systems Group (the "Division") is a division of SofTech, Inc. 
("SofTech").  The consolidated financial statements of the Division include 
the accounts of Information Decisions, Inc. (IDI) and System Constructs, Inc. 
(SCI).  These financial statements present the Division's results of 
operations and its financial condition as it operated as a Division of 
SofTech.  The financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 1996, 
1995 and 1994 exclude certain corporate expenses associated with SofTech for 
its financing and working capital needs and certain personnel.  As a result, 
the financial statements presented may not be indicative of the results that 
would have been achieved had the Division operated as a non-affiliated entity.
	
	Operating losses from inception through the effective date of the sale of 
assets on September 12, 1996, have been recorded as a reduction in the net 
balance advanced to the Company in accordance with the terms described in 
Note E.  Refer to Note F for a description of the sale of the Division to 
Data Systems Network Corporation.

	INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER:

	The Division operates in one industry segment and is engaged in the 
development and sale of custom software for computer applications, the sale 
and integration of computer systems, and the marketing of software products 
under licensing agreements.  Revenue from a single customer accounted for 
approximately $15,600,000 in 1996, $12,300,000 in 1995, and $7,100,000 in 1994.
 
	CASH:

	SofTech has funded all of the Division's operations to date through its 
corporate cash balances.  Accordingly, no current cash balances are presented 
in the accompanying financial statements.

	INVENTORIES:

	Inventories consist of equipment purchased for resale and service parts and 
are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
	
	Property and equipment are stated at cost.  The Company provides for 
depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the following 
estimated useful lives:

                                                        								Estimated
      	                                                      	Useful Life
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Data processing equipment					                         3-5 years
          Office furniture	                        						       5-10 years
          Leasehold improvements		  Lesser of useful life or life of lease	
          Building                                        								20 years

	Depreciation expense was approximately $480,000, $390,000, and $140,000 for 
fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

	Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; betterments are 
capitalized.  At the time fixed assets are retired, sold, or otherwise 
disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from 
the accounts.  Any resulting gain or loss on disposal is credited or charged 
to income.

	INCOME TAXES:

	All of the Company's operations are included in the SofTech federal 
consolidated income tax returns.  The income taxes for the Division have been 
determined on a stand alone basis following Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109) for financial 
reporting purposes.  Under SFAS No. 109 deferred taxes are determined based 
on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and 
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the 
differences are expectd to reverse.

	REVENUE RECOGNITION:

	Revenue from computer system sales is recognized upon shipment, or 
installation and acceptance, if significant performance obligations remain.  
On certain long-term contracts, the percentage of completion method is used 
for recording revenue.  When the current estimate indicates a loss, provision 
is made for the total anticipated loss.  Revenue from software maintenance 
agreements and service contracts are deferred and amortized into income over 
the maintenance support period.  Other service revenue is recognized when the 
services are performed and the revenue is earned.

	GOODWILL:

	Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of tangible 
assets acquired and is amortized using the straight-line method over periods 
not to exceed eight years, subject to periodic review of impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the 
asset may not be recoverable.  The unamortized excess of cost over fair value 
of tangible assets acquired through business combination was $1,030,000, 
$2,419,000 and $1,299,000 at May 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Accumulated amortization of these intangible assets was $3,408,000, $2,020,000 
and $1,355,000 at May 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Division has 
recorded a reduction in the carrying value of the goodwill, at May 31, 1996, 
amounting to $700,000 due to impairment.  The reduction was based on the loss 
incurred on the sale of the Network Systems Group (see Note F).
	
	RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that effect 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 those estimates.

	NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

	Net loss per share has not been presented since the Network Systems Group 
operated as a Division of SofTech during the periods presented in the 
accompanying financial statements.

B.	INCOME TAXES:

	The provision (benefit) for income taxes includes the following:

	Net deferred tax liability				                              $--- $(153)		$ 24

	Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of certain favorable tax 
attributes in future tax returns, the Division has established a valuation 
reserve against a portion of the otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets.

D.	COMMITMENTS:
	
	The Company conducts its operations in facilities leased through 1999.  Rental 
expense for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $514,000, 
$558,000 and $286,000, respectively.
	
At May 31, 1996, minimum annual rental commitments under noncancellable leases 
were as follows:

	                              1999		$103,520

E.	ALLOCATIONS FROM SOFTECH, INC.:

	Since the Division's inception, administrative support services have been 
provided by SofTech.  For these services, the Division was charged $3.1 
million, $2.8 million and $1.6 million for the years ended May 31, 1996, 1995 
and 1994, respectively.  These charges represent an allocation of the 
Division's proportionate share of SofTech's consolidated corporate overhead 
costs using formulas which management believes are reasonable based upon the 
Division's use of such services.  All other costs during fiscal 1996, 1995
and 1994, including payroll costs, are directly attributable to the Division
and have been paid by SofTech for the Division.


F.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

	On September 12, 1996, SofTech completed the sale of the Division to Data 
Systems Network Corporation (DSN).  Data Systems purchased certain assets and 
assumed certain liabilities of the Division with a net book value of 
approximately $200,000 in exchange for $890,000 in cash and 540,000 shares of 
DSN common stock.  The tangible assets acquired totaled approximately $1.7 
million and were primarily composed of fixed assets and service inventory for 
maintaining the NSG installed base of hardware and software. Liabilities
assumed included deferred revenue associated with maintenance contracts and
other accrued expenses with a total book value of about $1.5 million.  
In addition, Data Systems assumed all NSG lease obligations.  SofTech 
retained NSG assets that had a tangible book value of approximately $5.0 
million, composed primarily of accounts receivable and inventory.  For the 
fiscal year ended May 31, 1996, SofTech recorded an estimated loss of 
$700,000 on the sale of the Division. 


         (b) Pro Forma Financial Information. 

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements were prepared to
illustrate the effects of the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1,
1995.  The pro forma adjustments are based on the available information and
upon certain assumptions the Company believes are reasonable.  The pro forma
financial statements do not purport to represent what the Company's financial
statements would actually have been if such transaction in fact had occurred
on January 1, 1995, or to project the Company's financial statements for
any future period.  The information below reflects the elimination of
goodwill recorded in connection with the transaction.
