              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of the Company, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995.  The results of operations and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996, or any other period.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

2.   Principles of Consolidation
The 1996 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Across Data Systems, Inc. (Across), its 100% wholly-owned subsidiary ProfitKey
International, Inc. (ProfitKey), its 100% wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary,
3077934 Canada, Inc. and its 100% wholly-owned subsidiary, Bizware Computer
Systems (Canada) Inc. (Bizware), its 100% wholly-owned subsidiary, Level 8
Systems, Inc. (Level 8) and its ASU consulting division (ASU).  The March 31,
1995 statements of operations and cash flows include only the operations of
Across, ProfitKey, Bizware and ASU as Level 8 was acquired effective April 1,
1995.

                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 months ended March 31, 1996 was approximately $2,559,000
as compared $2,397,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, an increase of
$162,000.  The increase is primarily related to an increase in revenue at ASU of
approximately $76,000 and the additional revenue in 1996 from Level 8 of
approximately $618,000. Level 8 was acquired effective April 1, 1995 and is
therefore not included in the first quarter 1995.  These increases were offset
by a decrease in revenue at ProfitKey and Bizware of approximately $115,000 and
$417,000 respectively.  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.  Bizware's
revenue decreased as a result of the completion of a major contract in early
1995. 

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was 48.4% as compared to
65.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease is related to
reduced margins in consulting and service and software.  Consulting and service
margin decreased from 57.4% in 1995 to 49.8% in 1996 due to reduced margins at
Bizware and the addition of Level 8 which operated at a gross margin of 38.7%.
In addition, the software margin decreased due to lower sales and higher
software amortization costs at Bizware and ProfitKey.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were approximately
$1,571,000 as compared to approximately $974,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995, an increase of approximately $597,000.  The increase is the
result of an increase in non-cash amortization charges of approximately
$111,000, the addition of Level 8 operating expenses and increased staffing
levels at ProfitKey as a result of new products and services being prepared for
release.

Interest income increased by approximately $50,000 from 1995 to 1996 as a result
of investing approximately $4,000,000 in three and six-month treasury bills. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996
used net cash of approximately $364,000 and $48,000 respectively.  At March 31,
1996, the Company had working capital of approximately $3,512,000 and a current
ratio of 2.19.  The Company believes that cash from operations and the proceeds
from its initial public offering will be adequate to fund its working capital
and capital expenditure requirements at least through the end of 1996.  

The Company continued new product development at ProfitKey, Bizware and Level 8.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company spent approximately
$499,000 on software development.
