                   ACROSS DATA SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Across Data Systems, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries ProfitKey,
Bizware, and Level 8 and its ASU consulting division, develops and markets
business software and provides consulting and ancillary services. The Company's
products and services include: transactional messaging middleware and
distributed object technology, which facilitate communication among applications
that reside on distributed and often incompatible hardware and software;
industry specific ("vertical") software applications the Company has developed
for manufacturers and for the petroleum and convenience store industry; and
consulting services for enterprise messaging and for the manufacturing and
financial services industries.

Results of Operations

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately
$2,956,000 and $5,516,000 respectively, compared to revenue for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995 of approximately $3,039,000 and $5,436,000,
respectively. Level 8 was acquired on April 1, 1995 and therefore is included in
the six months ended June 30, 1995 only since the acquisition date. The decrease
in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of $83,000 is primarily
related to decreases at ProfitKey and Bizware of approximately $193,000, and
$305,000, respectively. These decreases were offset by increases at Level 8 and
ASU of $352,000 and $63,000, respectively. The decrease at ProfitKey is
primarily from reduced hardware sales and the decrease at Bizware is related to
reduced software sales and reduced service revenue. The increase at Level 8 is
primarily attributed to increased consulting services from its Florida location
which opened in April 1996. The increase in ASU revenue is attributed to
additional services provided to existing and new clients. The increase for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 of $80,000 is related to increases at Level 8 and
ASU of $970,000 and $140,000, respectively. These increases were offset by
decreases in revenue at ProfitKey and Bizware of approximately $308,000 and
$722,000, respectively. The increase in Level 8 revenue is related to the
addition of a Florida office in the second quarter of 1996 and that Level 8 was
only included since its acquisition date in 1995. The increase in ASU revenue is
attributed to additional services provided to existing and new clients. The
decrease in ProfitKey revenue is attributed to a reduction of new software
system installations and reduced hardware sales. Bizware's revenue decreased as
a result of decreased software revenue related to the completion of a major
contract in early 1995.

Gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was 45.5% and
46.8%, respectively, compared to gross margin for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995 of 55.5% and 59.8%, respectively. The decrease is related to
reduced margins in consulting and service and software sales. Consulting and
service margin decreased from the three months ended June 30, 1995 to June 30,
1996 from 51.5% to 47.1% and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to June 30,
1996 from 53.9% to 48.4% due to reduced margins at Bizware and Level 8. In
addition, the software margin decreased due to lower sales and higher
amortization of software development costs at Bizware and ProfitKey.

Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
approximately $1,907,000 and $3,478,000, respectively, compared to operating
expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 of approximately
$1,162,000 and $2,137,000, respectively. The increase for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 is the result of an increase in non-cash amortization charges, the
addition of Level 8 operating expenses associated with the start up of the
Florida location and increased staffing levels at ProfitKey as a result of new
products and services being prepared for release.

Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by
approximately $28,000 and $79,000, respectively. The increase is the result of
investing approximately $3,000,000 in three month treasury bills.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's net losses have been funded from proceeds from its initial public
offering. Operating and financing activities for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 used net cash of approximately $782,000 and $1,193,000
respectively. At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately
$2,428,000 and a current ratio of 1.8.

The Company continued new product development at ProfitKey, Bizware and Level 8.
During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company spent approximately
$580,000 on software development. Total spending on software development costs
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were approximately $1,079,000. In
addition to software development the Company used cash to fund its $824,956
loss, which included establishing a Level 8 sales and systems integration office
in Florida, and purchase approximately $386,000 of property and equipment

On July 26, 1996, the Company and Candle Corporation (Candle), signed an
investment agreement whereby Candle acquired, for $2,714,800, four percent of
the Company's common stock at a price of $11.00 per share and signed a letter of
intent that initiates a strategic alliance between the two companies. Funds were
received by the Company on July 30, 1996.
