                       PART II.  RULE 12B-25 (B) AND (C)

         If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort
or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed.  (Check appropriate box.)

[X]      (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
         form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

[X]      (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report
         on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be
         filed on or before the 15th calendar day following
<PAGE>   2
         the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition
         report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the
         fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

[ ]      (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
         12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

                              PART III.  NARRATIVE

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 
20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.  (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

         Effective June 30, 1996, the Registrant sold (the "Real-time Sale")
the assets and liabilities related to its real-time computer business (the
"Real-time Business").  The Real-time Business comprised approximately 75% of
the Registrant's assets.

         In connection with the Real-time Sale, a substantial portion of the
Registrant's accounting staff left the Registrant's employ to assume positions
with the buyer of the Real-time Business.  At the same time, the Registrant
changed its fiscal year from a September 30 year end to a June 30 year end.

         Because the Registrant's accounting staff has been significantly
reduced, and due to the complex accounting issues related to the Real-time
Sale, the Registrant is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K, without
incurring unreasonable expense, within the time period that it is due.

                          PART IV.  OTHER INFORMATION

         (1)     Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to
this notification 

        Brian Foremny                 954                     973-5356

           (Name)                  (Area Code)           (Telephone Number)

         (2)     Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period
that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?  If the
answer is no, identify report(s).

                                                                 [X] Yes  [ ] No


         (3)     Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?

                                                                 [X] Yes  [ ] No



         If so:  attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.



         The Registrant has changed its fiscal year end to June 30 from
September 30.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Registrant expects
to report revenues of approximately $37.4 million, an increase of approximately
$1 million over the nine-month period ended June 30, 1995.



         The Company further expects to report a loss of approximately $26.1
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, compared to a loss of
approximately $5.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase in net loss is attributable in large measure to non-recurring charges,
including a loss of approximately $15.2 million attributable to the sale of
Real-Time Business, a charge of approximately $3.2 million to write-off
previously capitalized software, and a charge of approximately $1 million
associated with the cancellation of the Registrant's public offering.
