             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- ---------------------------------------

The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  have been
prepared by the Company  without  independent  audit,  pursuant to the rules and
regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  In the  opinion  of
management,   the  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  include  all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the information required to be set forth
therein and these adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  The results of
operations  for the periods  presented  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  Certain  footnote  disclosures
normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures included herein
are adequate to make the information  presented not misleading.  It is suggested
that these condensed  consolidated  financial  statements be read in conjunction
with the financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's Form
10-K annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.


Note (2)  Earnings Per Share
- ----------------------------

For the three months ended June 30, 1995  earnings per share are computed  using
the weighted average number of shares  outstanding  adjusted for the incremental
shares  attributable to outstanding  options,  primarily unvested employee stock
options,  to purchase Common Stock. For the three months ended June 30, 1994 the
effect of options were  excluded  due to  immateriality.  The average  number of
common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding are summarized as follows
(000's):

Note (3) Acquisitions
- ---------------------

On May 3, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Ra Systems
for $10,823,000.  A cash payment of $5,423,000 was remitted at closing,  and the
remainder payable December 31, 1995. The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method and, accordingly,  the operating results of Ra Systems have been
included in the consolidated  financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Ra Systems' tangible assets, including cash of $2,970,000 were recorded at their
estimated fair value of $7,242,000 and Ra Systems'  liabilities were recorded at
their estimated fair value of $3,965,000. The estimated excess of $7,546,000 was
assigned to goodwill.  The  acquisition did not have a material pro forma impact
on operations.

Note (4) Income Taxes
- ---------------------

For the three months ended June 30, 1995,  the effective tax rate was 30%, which
is  lower  than the  statutory  rate  primarily  due to  utilization  of tax net
operating loss carry-forwards in foreign  jurisdictions.  The effective tax rate
for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1994 was 34%,  which  approximated  the
statutory rate.

Material Changes in Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------

                Three months ended June 30, 1995 compared
                 to the three months ended June 30, 1994.

For the three  months ended June 30,  1995,  the Company  recorded net income of
$7,832,000 or $.40 per share  compared to a net income of $5,600,000 or $.30 per
share for the same quarter last year.

Revenue  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1995  increased  to  $94,569,000
compared to $73,315,000 for the same period last year, an increase of 29%. North
American customers  accounted for 48% of revenue for the three months ended June
30,  1995,  European  customers  accounted  for 20% and  Pacific  Rim  customers
accounted for 32%.

License revenue was $5,930,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared
to $4,111,000 for the same quarter last year.  Approximately  80% of the product
sales came from North American customers,  while most of the remainder came from
European   life   insurance   customers.   License  sales   included   sales  of
COLOSSUS(trademark),  the Company's  expert system for evaluating  bodily injury
claims, and sales of Automated Work Distributor (AWD(registered trademark)), the
Company's business re-engineering workflow management system.

Service  revenue for the quarter  ended June 30, 1995  totaled  $88,301,000,  an
increase of 28% compared to a year ago. Over half of the service  revenue growth
was from outsourcing  customers.  North American customers  accounted for 46% of
service  revenue for the three months ended June 30,  1995,  European  customers
accounted  for 20% and Pacific Rim  customers  accounted  for 34%. The following
table summarizes the increase in service revenue by region ($ in millions):

                            ======     ======      =======
</TABLE>
Outsourcing  revenues  increased 47% to $35,400,000  compared to the same period
last year. The increase is attributed to new  outsourcing  agreements  signed in
the second half of fiscal 1995.

Other service revenue increased 17% to $52,900,000,  including  increases in all
regions.  The increase in North American  service revenue  reflects an increased
demand for  consulting  and  implementation  services  associated  with VANTAGE-
ONE(registered   trademark),  the  Company's  life  administration  system,  and
increases in utilization and support fees and services for the COLOSSUS product.
The  increase in European  service  revenue of 19% to  $15,900,000  is primarily
attributable  to the  acquisition of Ra Systems on May 3, 1995.  Continuum Ra is
the leading provider of systems to insurance brokers in the United Kingdom.

Compared to a year earlier,  service revenue increased $19,139,000,  or 28%, and
service gross profit increased  $3,259,000,  or 19%. The decline in gross profit
as a percentage  of revenue from 25% for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to
24% for the  same  period  this  year  is  primarily  the  result  of  increased
investments  in the  Company's  products,  start  up costs  associated  with new
projects and a change in the mix of business.

Marketing and administration expenses for the June 1995 quarter were $15,229,000
or 16% of total revenue compared to a year ago when they were $12,790,000 or 17%
of total  revenue.  The  improvement  as a percent of revenue  results  from the
significant growth in the Company's revenues.

                              8
<PAGE>
The  effective tax rate of 30% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 is lower
than  the  statutory  rate  due  to  the   utilization  of  net  operating  loss
carry-forwards in foreign  jurisdictions.  The effective tax rate of 34% for the
three months ended June 30, 1994 approximated the statutory rate.
 
The average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding was
19,789,000 for the June 1995 quarter,  an increase of 811,000 shares compared to
a year  ago.  The  increase  results  primarily  from the  inclusion  of  common
equivalent  shares. The effect of employee stock options,  mostly unvested,  are
now reflected as common equivalent shares due to the recent  appreciation in the
Company's  share price.  Prior to the June 1995 quarter,  employee stock options
were excluded because of immateriality.

In summary,  net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was  $7,832,000
compared  to a net income of  $5,600,000  for the same  period  last  year.  The
improved performance was due to an increase in license revenue,  service revenue
and gross  profit.

Liquidity  and Capital  Resources

At June 30, 1995, cash totaled  $29,845,000.  Cash decreased  $14,680,000 during
the  June  1995  quarter,  but is  $17,117,000  greater  than a year  ago.  Cash
requirements for the quarter included the acquisition of Ra Systems, investments
in recent  outsourcing  contracts,  and  annual  payments  of some  fiscal  1995
accruals of employee benefits.

The  Company  expects to meet its cash needs from cash  generated  by  operating
activities.  In  addition,  the Company  has a  revolving  credit line for up to
$20,000,000.

The Company had no material  commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30,
1995.
