                            ANNUAL REPORT 1996

SQL Group B.V.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT


The directors herewith present their results for  1996,  noting  that 1996 was a
year of substantive (25%) growth in revenue.  The push for growth  impacted  the
profitability of the Group.  While the loss for the year was significant it must
be pointed out that the loss was amplified as a result of  writing  off  certain
one time charges  associated  with  restructuring  the  business.  Additionally,
a  change  in  accounting  policy  resulted  in  the  write-off  of all software
development and production costs in 1995 and 1996.

On 31 December 1996 the entire share capital of SQL Systems B.V. was acquired by
Datastream  Systems, Inc.  Joining the two companies resulted in broader product
offerings and geographic coverage.

Datastream  products are marketed to clients desiring entry level to middle tier
client  server   based   computerized  maintenance  management  software  (CMMS)
products.  With  the  addition  of  SQL  System's  R5  CAMMS  high  end  system,
Datastream  is  now able to offer a broader spectrum of CMMS products.

The  acquisition  expands the  geographical  coverage  of  the  combined entity.
Until now,  Datastream  sales have been largely  concentrated within the United
States with only 13% of total revenues arising from  international sales.    SQL
revenues have  traditionally  been derived from the European market.  Datastream
plans to eventually market the Datastream products  throughout  Europe  and  has
already started distributing its products  in the UK though SQL Systems(UK) Ltd.
Further Datastream product introductions are planned for the  second quarter  of
1997 in France, Germany and Spain.   Similarly, Datastream intends to market SQL
products  heavily  into its large  installed  base of  customers  in the  United
States.

The first quarter of 1997 also saw a  significant  reduction in operating  costs
(salary  expense, leases, travel expenditures, etc.) which should help the group
attain profitability in 1997.

The directors believe that SQL Group is now properly positioned  to increase its
market share and sales revenue in 1997.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF EARNINGS



ACTIVITIES

The corporation is engaged in the development,  sale and maintenance of computer
software.


GENERAL

Major events in 1996:

SQL Systems B.V. established a French company, Sirlog S.A.; this
   company acquired certain assets, liabilities and business activities
   from Sinorg S.A. at Issy-les Moulineaux, France;
SQL Systems B.V. acquired an additional 25% interest in SQL Systems
   Participaties B.V. and accordingly holds a 100% interest at year end;
SQL Systems B.V. established a 100% owned Brazilian subsidiary, SQL
   Systems Ltda;
SQL Rapier France S.A. went into liquidation;
The liquidation of SQL Rapier Italia S.r.l. and SQL Rapier North
   America Inc. was completed. These companies no longer exist at year end;
   at the end of 1996 all shares of SQL Group B.V. were sold to Datastream
   Systems Inc., at Greenville, South Carolina, USA.


CONTINUITY OF THE GROUP

In December 1996 SQL Group B.V. was acquired by Datastream Systems, Inc.
for US$34 million in cash and stock plus the assumption of liabilities. As
part of the acquisition, Datastream Systems, Inc. implemented a
restructuring plan that included revenue-enhancing plans, cost-cutting
measures and the pay-off of substantial portions of SQL Group B.V.'s debt.
As of the report date, approximately NLG 5,520,000 of SQL Group B.V.'s
long-term debt has been paid off by Datastream Systems, Inc. In addition,
Datastream Systems, Inc. has been financing the continuing operations of
SQL Group B.V. and plans to continue financing SQL Group B.V. until the
benefits of the restructuring plan are realized. Current revenue and
expense rates indicate the SQL Group B.V. will reach profitability in the
the second quarter of 1997. Through the restructuring plan and through
providing the needed financing, Datastream Systems, Inc. deems that
SQL Group B.V. is a going concern.


<PAGE>


ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared under the historical
cost  convention.   Exchange  differences  resulting  from  the  translation  of
financial   statements  of  foreign   subsidiaries  are  directly   included  in
stockholders'  equity.  The exchange  differences  relating to foreign  exchange
transactions are accounted for in the statement of earnings.


CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING POLICY

In 1996 it was decided to expense all software development and production costs,
because it is uncertain  that the value will be recovered.  Comparative  figures
for the financial year 1995 have been amended for this reason.  The group equity
as of December  31, 1995 has been  decreased  by the book value of the  software
development and production cost amounting to approximately NLG 2,130,000 and the
results for 1995 have been  increased by the amended  amortization  amounting to
approximately NLG 302,000.


CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated  financial  statements include the financial  statements of SQL
Group B.V. and its  subsidiaries  SQL Products B.V. and SQL Systems B.V. and its
majority participating interests,  except SQL Systems Ltda, Brazil. That company
will be sold or closed down in the very near future and has been  excluded  from
consolidation because of the insignificance of its operations.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the principles of
valuation and determination of result as applied by the parent company.

The consolidated participations are:
                                                                       % of par-
                                                                      ticipation
                                                                            %

PRINCIPLES FOR THE VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND FOR THE
DETERMINATION OF RESULT


ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Intangible fixed assets

The goodwill as of December 31, 1996 relates to the  acquisition  of Sirlog S.A.
This  goodwill  is being  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis over five years.
Intangible fixed assets also include purchased computer software  licenses.  The
depreciation  period  is based on the  estimated  useful  life of these  assets,
applied on a  straight-line  basis over a period which varies from three to five
years.


Tangible fixed assets

The tangible  fixed assets have been valued at cost less  depreciation  based on
the estimated  useful lives of the related  assets.  The  depreciation  has been
applied on a  straight-line  basis and is based on the estimated  useful life of
the asset concerned, which varies from 3 to 10 years.


Receivables, cash and liabilities

The receivables, cash and liabilities have been included at nominal value taking
into  account  a  provision  for  doubtful  accounts.   Receivables,   cash  and
liabilities  denominated in foreign currencies have been translated applying the
rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.


RESULT

Gross margin

The net sales are the  revenues  from  supplies  of goods and  services to third
parties, less any discounts and taxes levied on the sales.

The cost of sales  comprises the royalties  payable to third parties  concerning
licenses sold and the services of third parties, directly relating to sales.

The gross margin is determined as being the difference between the net sales and
cost of sales for the  financial  year,  applying the  valuation  principles  as
mentioned before.




<PAGE>


Revenue recognition

The  Company's  revenue  consists   primarily  of  fees  for  product  licenses,
installation/implementation  of the products, support, consultancy and projects.
Revenue from product  licenses is  recognized  upon  shipment of the product and
fulfillment  of  acceptance  terms.   After  acceptance  no  significant  vendor
obligations remain. Revenue from  installation/implementation and consultancy is
recognized as services are provided. Revenue from support is recognized over the
support  period.  Revenue  from  projects  is  recognized  upon  fulfillment  of
acceptance terms.  Losses on transactions have been accounted for in the year in
which these losses occurred.


Corporate income tax

In general the tax is  calculated  on the basis of the  operating  result before
taxes.

AUDITORS' REPORT

Introduction:

We have audited the  financial  statements  1996 of SQL Group B.V. at Rotterdam,
including the consolidated financial statements.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

Scope:

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the Netherlands.  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  statements
presentation.  We believe  that our audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

Opinion:

In our opinion,  the financial statements of SQL Group B.V. give a true and fair
view of the financial position of the company as of December 31, 1996 and of the
result  for the  year  then  ended  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the Netherlands and comply with the legal requirements for
financial  statements  as  included in Part 9, Book 2 of the  Netherlands  Civil
Code.

SQL GROUP B.V.

                                                          N/431575/700306/cf
UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (US GAAP)


a)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  financial statements are presented using Netherlands generally
accepted  accounting  principles  (GAAP)  and  are  denominated  in  Netherlands
guilders.  The  exchange  rate at December  31, 1996 was 1.745.  The  functional
currency of the company's foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency.
Inclusion of separate parent company financial  statements as a component of the
basic financial  statements is a requirement  under Netherlands GAAP. No similar
requirement exists under US GAAP.


b)  Scope of Consolidation and Related Party Transactions

The Netherlands GAAP financial  statements  include the financial  statements of
SQL Group B.V. and its  subsidiaries  SQL Products B.V. and SQL Systems B.V. and
its majority  participating  interests,  except SQL Systems Ltda,  Brazil.  That
company  will be sold or  closed  down in the  very  near  future  and has  been
excluded  from  consolidation.  Under  both  Netherlands  GAAP and US GAAP  this
investment has been valued at fair market value.  SQL Systems Ltda does not have
any  significant  activities and the company is immaterial for the  consolidated
financial statements of SQL Group B.V.

c)  Pension plans

SQL Group B.V. and its  subsidiaries  are contributing to pension plans that are
defined  contribution  plans under US GAAP and accordingly no future liabilities
have to be recognized under FAS 87.

d)  Income taxes

Under  Netherlands  GAAP the company is not  required  to record a deferred  tax
asset.  No reconciling  item for US GAAP exists as the valuation  allowance will
equal the amount of the deferred tax asset.

e)  Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of cash, accounts  receivable,  long-term debts and accounts
payable approximates fair value.

SQL GROUP B.V.                                                        Page 3

                                                          N/431575/700306/cf

f)  Use of estimates

The  preparation of the company's  consolidated  financial  statements  requires
management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that could affect the reported
amounts of assets and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and
liabilities  at the balance  sheet dates and the reported  amount of revenue and
expense  during  the  reported  periods.  Actual  results  may  vary  from  such
estimates.

g)  Impairment

In the year  ended  December  31,  1996,  the  company  adopted  US FAS No.  121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to
be  Disposed  of" for  purposes of applying  US GAAP.  This  standard  adopts an
approach for the evaluation of possible impairment for long-lived assets.  Where
specific  circumstances or events suggest that the net book value of such assets
to be held and used will not be recovered in future  operating  activities  (or,
through  disposal value it the intention is to dispose of the asset) the need to
record an impairment loss is considered by estimating  future  undiscounted cash
flows from the asset. In  circumstances  where such future  estimated cash flows
are less than the carrying value of the asset,  impairment is recorded to reduce
the asset to fair value, generally using discounted future cash flows estimates.

Application of this accounting standard in 1996 resulted in recording impairment
under US GAAP for the remaining book value of software  development costs, which
did not differ from the result obtained when applying Netherlands GAAP.

h)  Netherlands GAAP - US GAAP reconciliation

Since no significant  differences  exist between  Netherlands GAAP as applied by
SQL Group B.V.  and US GAAP,  income in  accordance  with US GAAP equals  income
under Netherlands GAAP, amounting to NLG 16,068,846 (loss).

Cash flow data is not  required  to be  prepared  under  Netherlands  GAAP.  The
accompanying  statements of cash flows have been prepared in accordance  with US
GAAP.

                         Pro Forma Financial Information

On December 31, 1996, Datastream Systems,  Inc. (the "Company")  consummated the
acquisition of all of the capital stock and equity interests of SQL Group, B.V.,
a corporation  organized and existing under the laws of The Netherlands ("SQL").
Founded in 1988, SQL is a leading vendor of computerized  maintenance management
software in Europe.  SQL  developed and  markets an  Oracle-based  client/server
maintenance  management system with cross-platform  capability that is available
in twelve  languages.  As consideration  for the acquisition and pursuant to the
Share  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of  December  15,  1996 by  and  among  the
Company,  SQL and the stockholders of SQL (the "SQL  Stockholders"),  Datastream
paid the SQL Stockholders USD $17 million in cash  and USD $17 million (751,381)
shares of the Common Stock of the Company,  which  consideration  was determined
as a result of arm's length  negotiations between the two unaffiliated  parties.
The Company used funds  from  its  initial  public  offering  in  1995  and  its
secondary  offering in October 1996 to fund  the  acquisition.  The  acquisition
of SQL was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

The  pro  forma  combined  balance  sheet reflects the acquisition of all of the
capital stock of SQL by the Company as if such transaction occurred on September
30, 1996.

The pro forma combined statements of operations reflect the above transaction as
if it had been completed as of the beginning of the respective  periods and take
into account the following pro forma adjustments for items directly attributable

(1)  The  SQL Group, B.V.  balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 is denominated
in US dollars.  Amounts were converted from Netherlands guilders at the exchange
rate at September 30, 1996. The SQL Group, B.V. balance sheet was prepared using
Netherlands  generally  accepted  accounting  principles (GAAP).  No significant
differences exist between Netherlands GAAP as applied by  SQL Group, B.V. and US
GAAP.

(2)  Reflects the consummation of the acquisition for $34 million, consisting of
$17 million in cash, which was recorded as a use of  cash  previously  invested,
and $17 million (751,381 shares) in equity. A reserve against the purchase price
of $3 million (150,276 shares) has been recorded as a reduction in  common stock
and paid in capital for items within the terms of the escrow  agreement  entered
into in connection with the acquisition.

The  acquisition will be  accounted for under the purchase method  of accounting
and accordingly the assets and liabilities will be recorded at their fair value.
The purchase price allocation is not complete and adjustments may be made to the
amounts allocated and or useful lives.  The estimated allocation of the purchase
price, including  the write  off  of in process  research and development  is as
follows (in thousands):
