GENERAL

     The Company is an  international  consulting  and  computer  services  firm
serving  the  needs of the  global  financial  services  industry  for  computer
software and  services.  The  Company's  revenues are  principally  derived from
providing outsourcing services,  including third party administrative  services,
to the financial services industry,  licensing  sophisticated financial services
software  systems,  and providing  related software  development,  installation,
customization,  enhancement,  and  maintenance  services.  Outsourcing  services
offered by the Company range from providing a customer with remote processing of
a single financial services software  application to the complete replacement of
a customer's data processing  department.  The software  systems marketed by the
Company streamline the work processes and automate the administrative  functions
of  financial   services   companies,   such  as  issuing  insurance   policies,
administering  deposits,  and complying with complex government  regulations and
reporting  requirements.  The  Company  offers  a wide  range of  banking,  life
insurance,  general  insurance  (also known as non-life or property and casualty
insurance),  and  reinsurance  software  applications,  including  products with
extensive adaptations to the specific regional requirements of the world's major
financial services markets. The Company's product line includes systems designed
for use on a variety  of  hardware  platforms,  including  mainframe  computers,
mid-range computers, workstations and local area networks.

     The Company's  fee-based services  business,  which currently provides over
93% of the  Company's  revenues,  is  built  around  the  Company's  proprietary
application software systems, and emphasizes the cultivation and preservation of
long-term relationships with customers. The Company's outsourcing contracts tend
to be long-term  relationships with good  probabilities of ongoing renewal.  The
implementation  of the Company's  software  systems often generates  significant
service revenues because the unique nature of each financial  services company's
products and  operations  requires  customization.  The  Company's  workforce of
approximately  4,300  persons  (at March 31,  1996) is composed  principally  of
skilled   professionals  with  extensive,   specialized  knowledge  of  software
development, data processing, and financial services operations.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

PROPOSED MERGER

     On April 29, 1996,  the Company  announced  it had signed an Agreement  and
Plan of Merger with Computer Sciences  Corporation  ("CSC") based in El Segundo,
California,  and a wholly owned  subsidiary of CSC.  Shareholders of the Company
will  receive  0.79 shares of CSC stock for each share of the  Company's  Common
Stock  if the  merger,  which  is  subject  to  customary  conditions  including
shareholder and regulatory approvals, is consummated.  The merger is expected to
be consummated during the summer of 1996.

FISCAL 1996 ACQUISITIONS

     During fiscal 1996,  the Company  acquired  three new  subsidiaries:  Hogan
Systems, Inc. ("Hogan"), SOCS Holding ("SOCS") and Ra Group Limited ("Ra").

     On March 15, 1996, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  shares of
Hogan through the issuance of 4,813,541  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock.
Hogan provides integrated software  applications and related consulting services
to banks and other financial institutions worldwide. Prior to the acquisition of
Hogan, the Company's sales efforts were concentrated  primarily in the insurance
industry. The Company views its acquisition of Hogan as a logical expansion into
a closely-related  industry that the Company is well-positioned to serve through
its  existing  customer  relationships  and  international  infrastructure.  The
Company  believes the acquisition of Hogan is an essential  long-term  strategic
move that will  position  the Company to serve the emerging  global  diversified
financial  services  industry,  while  at the  same  time  providing  attractive
near-term  opportunities for increased revenue and cost savings. The Company has
eliminated   over   $11,000,000  of  recurring   annual  expenses  at  Hogan  by
restructuring  facilities,  data  processing  and other  functions,  and expects
additional cost  reductions to raise total cost savings to over  $12,000,000 per
year.  Hogan is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company with  operations  in
Dallas, Texas; Frankfurt,  Germany;  London, England; and Melbourne,  Australia.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests.

     On December 28, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
SOCS, a Paris-based software and services company, for $37,600,000 in cash. SOCS
is the leading provider of insurance  application  software and related services
to the French  insurance  industry.  SOCS has over 130  insurance  customers  in
Europe,  primarily in France.  The acquisition of SOCS provides the Company with
leading edge  object-oriented  software  technology and a staff of approximately
200 persons with extensive insurance and object-oriented  development expertise.
SOCS'  primary  insurance  product  is  AIA,  which  is  a  functionally   rich,
client/server  insurance  administration  application supporting both individual
and group life and health  insurance.  AIA is the new  generation  of  insurance
software,  supported by an open,  integrated,  object-oriented  development  and
execution environment called OCEANIC. This revolutionary application development
environment  allows the AIA application to be implemented  rapidly and to remain
flexible  and  responsive  to changing  business  needs.  The  Company  plans to
continue  enhancing  the tools  and  methodologies  developed  by SOCS as object
technology  standards  evolve and to  integrate  them with the  Company's  other
software  development  efforts. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.

     On May 3, 1995, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  shares of Ra
for  $10,823,000  in cash.  Ra is a leading  provider  of  software  systems  to
insurance  brokers in the United  Kingdom,  predominantly  in the  property  and
casualty sector. Ra also provides a range of services to insurance brokers, such
as updated rate books, electronic data interchange links to insurance companies,
insurance  document  printing and  specialist  broker  insurance  products.  The
acquisition of Ra advances the Company's plans to provide the European insurance
industry with systems for all  distribution  channels.  The acquisition has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

OUTSOURCING CONTRACTS

     The Company entered into several significant  outsourcing  contracts during
its 1996 fiscal year, with expected  revenues in excess of $200 million over the
lives of these contracts. The new contracts included outsourcing agreements with
Fidelity  and  Guaranty  Life  Insurance  Company  (with  expected  revenues  of
approximately  $80 million over eight years) and Penncorp  Financial Group, Inc.
(with expected revenues of approximately $50 million over seven years).

     Other important  outsourcing  contracts  announced  during the year include
agreements with Sun Alliance Group plc,  Independent  Order of Foresters and the
New Zealand Department of Labour.

COLOSSUS LICENSES

     The Company made a number of  important  license  sales of COLOSSUS  during
fiscal 1996,  including  two sales in Europe to two major United  Kingdom  based
insurers and sales in the United  States to  Metropolitan  Property and Casualty
Insurance  Company and The Continental  Casualty  Company (CNA).  COLOSSUS is an
artificial  intelligence  software system that assists insurance  adjusters with
the evaluation of bodily injury claims.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

CONVERGENCE OF FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY

     The Company  believes  that, in important  markets for  financial  services
around the world,  barriers are dropping between the various financial  services
sectors, such as insurance, banking and mutual funds. Rapid creation of consumer
wealth and shifting consumer demographics, especially the aging of the worldwide
population  in  developed   countries  and  the  resulting   growth  of  pension
liabilities, are causing increased consumer investment in financial products and
services.  This shift has  created a large and  growing  market  that  insurance
companies,  banks,  and mutual fund  providers are all competing to serve.  This
competition  for both the  investment  dollars  and  ownership  of the  customer
relationship  is driving the  virtual  and  physical  convergence  of  financial
services.

     As financial  sectors converge,  the complexity of the resulting  financial
services  businesses and increasing cost  competition are forcing the players to
focus on their core competencies while turning to specialist  partners to manage
non-core functions such as information  technology,  back-office  administration
and telesales  and  teleservices.  The  Company's  goal is to become the leading
provider of information  technology and  outsourcing  services to the integrated
financial services industry.

THE NEED FOR SOFTWARE

     Financial  services  companies  have relied for decades on  extensive  data
processing  capabilities to manage the large volume of data needed to market and
administer financial products and services. To meet this requirement,  financial
services  companies have sought software  products that automate  administrative
functions such as issuing policies,  administering  deposits, and complying with
complex government regulations and reporting requirements.

THE NEED FOR SERVICES

     The  implementation  of a  financial  services  software  system  typically
requires  customization  because of the unique nature of each company's products
and operations.  In addition,  software products require ongoing maintenance and
enhancement due to competitive  pressures in the financial services industry, as
well as technological and regulatory  changes.  As a result,  financial services
companies  often  require  the  assistance  of  software  professionals  for the
installation, training, customization,  enhancement, and maintenance of software
products.

PRODUCT LINES AND GEOGRAPHY

     The financial  services industry  traditionally has been segmented by lines
of  business  and by  geographic  region.  The major  lines of  business  in the
financial  services  industry  include mutual funds,  banking,  life  insurance,
general  insurance,  and health  insurance.  Many financial  services  companies
participate  in multiple  lines of business,  and the  industry is  increasingly
characterized by cross border  competition and large,  international  companies.
The most significant geographic regions, measured by funds under management, are
North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim, particularly Japan.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     The  Company's  objective  is to be the  leading  business  partner for the
provision of superior  quality  technology-based  solutions to meet the needs of
the global  financial  services  industry.  The Company  emphasizes  a number of
strategies to meet this objective.

OUTSOURCING PROVIDER

     Outsourcing  refers to arrangements in which  corporations  rely on outside
service providers to deliver functions traditionally performed by internal staff
with  corporate  owned assets.  Outsourcing is becoming an  increasingly  common
business strategy in many industries.  Outsourcing  allows a company to focus on
its core business by delegating to a service provider tasks that are not central
to the company's core business, and may provide other benefits such as improving
service, reducing expenses, and freeing capital.

     The  Company  offers  a range  of  outsourcing  services  to the  financial
services industry.  The outsourcing  services provided by the Company range from
data processing contracts,  which provide for the Company to install and operate
a  customer's  software  systems  on  the  Company's  data  center,  to  complex
arrangements in which the Company takes over a customer's  existing data center,
purchases  the  customer's  computer  equipment  and hires the  customer's  data
processing personnel in return for a long-term, comprehensive services contract.
These  outsourcing  arrangements  allow the  customer to move all or part of the
risk and  difficulty  of managing  technology  to the  Company and receive  data
processing  services from the Company for a known cost.  The Company also offers
third party  administration  services,  which allow life insurance  companies to
outsource the clerical administration as well as the data processing support for
all or part of their insurance business to the Company.

     A  growing  number  of  financial  services  companies  of  all  sizes  are
considering outsourcing.  Although smaller data processing contracts for limited
segments  of  business  have been common in the  insurance  industry  for years,
acceptance of  comprehensive  outsourcing  arrangements is relatively new in the
industry.  Because  insurers have been late adopters of  outsourcing  solutions,
outside  professional and outsourcing  services approximate 10% of the estimated
$50 billion that insurers spend annually on  information  technology.  Likewise,
larger banks are only now broadening their use of outsourcing services, although
mid-tier banks were early adopters. Industry forecasts indicate that by 1999 the
annual  expenditure  by  banks  on  professional  and  outsourcing   information
technology will exceed $35 billion.

     An increasing  portion of the Company's service revenue is now derived from
outsourcing  arrangements.  The  Company  believes  that  its  proven  financial
services  industry  expertise,  its  extensive  insurance  and banking  software
product  offerings and its data processing  arrangements  with a related company
position it to pursue additional  outsourcing  contracts with financial services
companies.  The Company also  believes  that  financial  services  companies are
excellent candidates for outsourcing  arrangements because of the heavy reliance
of the financial  services  industry on data processing and the market pressures
on  these  companies  to  control  costs  while  keeping  up with  technological
advances.  During the year ended March 31, 1996, outsourcing provided 32% of the
Company's service revenue.

GEOGRAPHIC AND PRODUCT DIVERSITY

     The Company has an extensive  professional  staff and a broad customer base
throughout  North America,  Europe and the Pacific Rim, as well as a diverse set
of insurance and banking software products.  The Company believes its geographic
and product  diversity  are important  competitive  assets in serving the global
financial services  industry.  Since the early 1980's, the Company has pursued a
strategy of establishing a strong local marketing  presence and customer support
capability  in each of the three major  financial  services  geographies,  North
America,  Europe and the Pacific Rim. The Company has carried out this  strategy
through substantial investments in regional offices,  beginning with the opening
of its  United  Kingdom  office  in 1982,  and  through  a series  of  strategic
acquisitions,  including the  acquisition of  Computations  Holdings  Limited in
October  1990,  the  acquisitions  of Paxus  Corporation  Limited  ("Paxus") and
Vantage Computer Systems,  Inc. ("Vantage") in August and September 1993 and the
acquisitions of SOCS in December 1995 and Hogan in March 1996.

FLEXIBLE PRODUCTS

     While  the  competitive  nature  of the  financial  services  industry  has
prompted  financial  services  companies to seek advanced  computer  technology,
these companies  increasingly view the  implementation  of large,  comprehensive
computer  systems as  expensive  and risky.  The  evaluation,  development,  and
implementation  of a new system  may not only be costly,  but also may result in
the loss of  significant  investments  in  predecessor  systems that often prove
incompatible with the newer system. Moreover, an expensive effort to implement a
new system may prove unsuccessful or be rendered obsolete by the next generation
of software.  In order to assist financial  services  companies in solving these
problems,  the  Company  pursues  a  strategy  for  delivering  software  system
solutions  in  smaller  components  that  can be  integrated  with a  customer's
existing systems and with new systems in the future.

     The AWD system, COGEN , the Hogan Integrated Banking Applications  ("IBA"),
and VANTAGE-ONE  are all examples of the Company's  flexible  product  strategy.
With the AWD system,  a customer  can provide its data  processing  users with a
common graphical user interface operating on intelligent  workstations while its
older,  mainframe  administrative systems continue to perform their functions in
the  background.  With the COGEN  Client  Component,  an  insurance  company can
establish a single  customer data base linked to all of its previously  separate
administrative  systems.  The modular  structure of the IBA and the  VANTAGE-ONE
system  allows a  customer  to  implement  just those  components  needed by the
customer at a particular  time,  such as a Hogan System  component  for a single
banking function, a VANTAGE-ONE  administration component for a single insurance
product line, or the VANTAGE-ONE Repetitive Payment System.

     The Company  also  emphasizes  a strategy of  modular,  open  architecture.
Various  functions that would  traditionally  be  inseparable  parts of a single
large software  system are divided into discrete  products that can be installed
and used one at a time or in combination.  Open  architecture  principles  allow
these  separate  software  products to be readily  integrated  not only with one
another,  but also with the  customer's  existing  and future  systems,  whether
provided by the Company or other vendors.

     Open  architecture  is aimed at  controlling  the risk and  expense  of new
software  implementation   projects,  while  at  the  same  time  improving  the
customer's return on investment in technology. The modular approach reduces risk
and expense by allowing the customer to implement  new software one component at
a time, resulting in smaller,  faster implementation  projects.  The customer is
able to select a software  solution  targeted at a specific  business  need, and
enjoy the  benefits  of that  solution  sooner  and at a lower  cost than with a
traditional  monolithic software system.  Finally, the built-in compatibility of
open architecture products preserves the customer's investment in older software
systems and increases the useful life of the Company's products themselves.

     In further support of its goal of delivering quality, flexible systems, the
Company is committed to using object-oriented development methodologies.  Object
orientation is a software engineering technique that is gaining broad acceptance
in the global software development  community.  It contributes to better quality
and productivity through reuse of discrete  components,  or objects. It supports
more  flexible  deployment  of  business  function  based  on  dynamic  business
requirements.  In December,  the Company gained ownership of a functionally rich
object-oriented  insurance application,  OCEANIC AIA, through its acquisition of
SOCS.  With this  comprehensive  library of  business  objects  as a basis,  the
Company intends to be a leader in the financial  services  industry's  evolution
toward software solutions based on business objects. The Company is committed to
large-scale  global reuse of business  objects,  and this will form the basis of
many of the Company's new applications.  These object solutions will not only be
packaged into comprehensive  administration  systems,  but also into intelligent
workstations  that can surround the Company's  existing  applications as well as
customers' legacy systems.

SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

LIFE INSURANCE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

     VANTAGE-ONE.  The  VANTAGE-ONE  product,  gained by the Company through the
Vantage  acquisition,  is a real time system which offers advanced  capabilities
for: New Business  Issue and  Automated  Underwriting;  Product  Administration;
Agency  and  Commission   Support;   and  Payout   Administration.   Stand-alone
VANTAGE-ONE  components  include:  the  VANTAGE-ONE  New   Business/Underwriting
System, the VANTAGE-ONE  Administration  System (available by product line), the
VANTAGE-ONE  Distribution Support System, and the VANTAGE-ONE Repetitive Payment
System.  All  VANTAGE-ONE   components  are  available  in  both  mainframe  and
client/server versions.

     AIA. AIA is a functionally  rich,  client/server  insurance  administration
application supporting both individual and group life and health insurance.  AIA
is the new generation of insurance software,  supported by an open,  integrated,
object-oriented  development  and execution  environment  called  OCEANIC.  This
revolutionary   rapid  application   development   environment  allows  the  AIA
application to be implemented  rapidly and to remain  flexible and responsive to
changing  business needs. The Company plans to continue  enhancing the tools and
methodologies  developed by SOCS as object  technology  standards  evolve and to
integrate them with the Company's other software development efforts.

     LIFE/70,  LIFE-COMM,  AND CLOAS.  The LIFE/70  System was introduced by the
Company in 1971. LIFE-COMM, a similar software system, was introduced by another
company in the early 1970's and acquired by the Company in late 1984.  CLOAS was
developed in Australia and introduced in the late 1970's by Continuum  Australia
(then known as Computations Holdings Limited). LIFE/70, LIFE-COMM, and CLOAS all
utilize  batch and  on-line  processing  and  provide  extensive  administrative
capabilities to life insurance  companies,  including  billing and  collections,
agency  administration,  policy  generation and  administration,  and regulatory
reporting.  LIFE/70 and LIFE-COMM have been marketed  primarily to United States
life  insurance  companies,  while most CLOAS users are located in Australia and
Europe.  These products have been extensively  enhanced and extended since their
introduction and currently have active product support programs.

     LIFE/400.  LIFE/400,  which  operates  on the IBM  AS/400  platform,  is an
individual  life and pensions  administration  system for both  traditional  and
unit-linked insurance products.  LIFE/400 was added to the Company's product set
through  the  Paxus  acquisition.  This  multi-lingual,   multi-currency  system
provides  a  comprehensive  range of client and agent  administration  services.
Thorough  policy  handling,  accounting,  claims and termination  services,  and
reinsurance  combine  to make  LIFE/400  the  solution  selected  by  many  life
insurance companies.

     CAPSIL.   CAPSIL  is  a   comprehensive   individual   life  and   pensions
administration  system designed for the IBM mainframe user.  CAPSIL was added to
the Company's product set through the Paxus acquisition.  CAPSIL meets the needs
of the European life insurance  industry and has been used by various retail and
banking  customers  to support  their entry into the  insurance  market.  CAPSIL
supports both traditional and unitized insurance products by providing sales and
marketing  support,  new business and underwriting,  client  servicing,  premium
collection and  accounting,  agency and commission  handling,  unit  accounting,
reinsurance,  general  ledger,  financial  reporting,  valuation  and  statutory
reporting,  and system audit and control  capabilities.  CAPSIL's  comprehensive
array  of  features  and  services  has  made it the  choice  of many  insurance
companies in Europe.

     CLIENT/CONTRACT  ADMINISTRATION  SYSTEM (CCA) AND CCA2.  First  released in
1987, CCA is a large,  complex  administrative  and marketing  computer software
system for life  insurance  companies.  CCA is an  interactive,  on-line  system
utilizing  a modern,  relational  data base  architecture.  In contrast to older
insurance  software systems,  CCA arranges  information by client rather than by
policy,  thereby  permitting  the  monitoring  of  products  sold to clients and
facilitates access to important demographic  information for marketing,  product
design,  and other  purposes.  In  addition,  billings  and  collections  can be
conducted  on a client  rather than a product  basis,  eliminating  the cost and
inconvenience of multiple  billings.  CCA2 is a group of open  architecture life
insurance  software  products  that provide the  functionality  of CCA in a more
advanced, modular architecture.

PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

     COGEN.  COGEN is an administrative  and marketing  computer software system
for property and casualty insurance companies.  COGEN is an on-line,  real-time,

BUSINESS PROCESS SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

     AWD. The Company  distributes the Automated Work Distributor ("AWD") to the
worldwide  insurance  industry under an arrangement with DST. AWD was originally
developed by DST to automate and streamline  clerical  workflows for mutual fund
companies and other financial services businesses. AWD currently operates on IBM
compatible  workstations and AS/400 servers and combines  workflow  distribution
software with image processing technology.

LICENSING

     The  Company  offers a variety of  licenses  to its  proprietary  software.
Historically,  the Company offered  perpetual  licenses to its software products
for a one time  upfront  license  fee,  along with an optional  product  support
service.  More  recently,  the Company began  offering  licenses with an upfront
initial  license charge  combined with ongoing  monthly  utilization and support
fees.  The Company  emphasized  licensing  practices  intended to build a stable
source  of  recurring   revenues  and  provide   funding  for  ongoing   product
enhancements.

     Although  approximately  90% of the Company's  revenues in each of the past
three years have been service revenues, as opposed to license revenues,  license
sales are  important to the  Company's  performance.  New license  sales tend to
result in additional  service revenues as new customers request  assistance from
the Company to install,  customize,  and maintain software systems licensed from
the Company. New license sales are essential to the Company's growth, as well as
to the  replacement  of service  revenues lost as older  customers  complete the
implementation of software systems licensed from the Company or otherwise reduce
their need for the Company's services.

ROYALTY ARRANGEMENTS

     The Company has entered into a variety of software development arrangements
in which the Company  receives  funding  for  software  development  projects in
return for  royalties  on future  licenses  resulting  from those  projects.  In
addition,  the Company pays royalties on licenses of AWD, COGEN and COLOSSUS.  A
variety of other agreements  require the Company to pay royalties on licenses of
specific  enhancements  to its software  products.  See "Business -- Services --
Shared-Cost Enhancements." The Company's revenues are recorded net of royalties.

SERVICES

     The Company's  products  often require  customization  to meet the needs of
individual customers.  In addition,  the Company's products have relatively long
lives, are very complex,  and require ongoing maintenance and enhancement due to
competitive   pressures  in  the  financial  services   industry,   as  well  as
technological and regulatory changes. As a result, the Company's customers often
require  the  assistance  of  software   professionals   for  the  installation,
customization,  enhancement,  and  maintenance of their software  systems.  Such
services are  performed by the Company as well as  third-party  consultants  and
internal  data  processing   specialists.   Service  revenues  have  represented
approximately  90% of the  Company's  total  revenues for each of its last three
fiscal years.

     The Company  emphasizes  the  cultivation  and  preservation  of  long-term
relationships with its customers and offers a wide range of services,  including
outsourcing services, software development, shared-cost enhancements, consulting
and installation assistance, custom modifications,  and maintenance. The Company
also  provides  communication  centers  to respond to  customer  inquiries.  The
beginning of the installation  cycle of its products provides the Company with a
significant opportunity to provide services to its licensees.

     The Company's  charges for its services are typically  based upon an agreed
hourly  rate plus  expenses,  much like other  professional  service  firms.  On
long-term  projects,  rates may be based on person-months or even  person-years,
rather than  person-hours.  The Company may also bid for projects on a fixed fee
basis at the request of the  customer.  Maintenance  services for the  Company's
products  are  typically   offered  for  a  fixed  annual  or  monthly   charge.
Arrangements  for  outsourcing  charges vary,  but  typically  include a minimum
monthly or annual  charge,  plus a monthly charge that varies with the volume of
work performed.

          OUTSOURCING.  The Company derives a significant portion of its service
     revenues from long-term  outsourcing  contracts,  with options ranging from
     data processing support for a single application,  product line or business
     area,   to  total   information   systems   management   and  third   party
     administration.  The  Company  provides  outsourcing  services  to numerous
     customers  through its data processing  arrangement  with a related company
     and  the  Company's  own  data  processing  facilities  in  Dallas,  Texas,
     Australia and New Zealand.  As discussed in "Business - Business Strategy -
     Outsourcing  Provider,"  the  Company  is  currently  seeking to expand its
     outsourcing  services to provide  comprehensive data processing services to
     financial services companies.

          CONSULTING AND  INSTALLATION.  The conversion by a financial  services
     company from one software system to another can require from one to several
     years to complete,  depending  upon the size of the  company,  the features
     desired,  and other  considerations.  The Company provides a broad range of
     services  to assist  its  customers  in  planning  for and  installing  new
     software   systems.   These  services  include  designing  a  comprehensive
     conversion plan;  supplying actuarial,  data processing,  and user-oriented
     financial services professionals;  providing educational programs at either
     the Company's  offices or the  customer's  facility;  and  supervising  the
     actual implementation of the conversion to the new system.

          SHARED-COST   ENHANCEMENTS.   Since  the  Company's  software  systems
     periodically   require   modifications   in  response   to   technological,
     competitive,  regulatory,  and other changes in the  industry,  the Company
     sponsors programs whereby the costs of such modifications can be borne by a
     group of participating companies on a shared basis. Generally,  the cost to
     each  participant  is  substantially  lower  than  the  cost  of  a  custom
     enhancement by the Company,  the customer's  data  processing  staff,  or a
     third-party software consultant. The Company typically retains ownership of
     enhancements  made pursuant to  shared-cost  arrangements  and may offer to
     license  such  enhancements  to  other  customers  for  inclusion  in their
     systems.  The customer  sponsors of  shared-cost  enhancements  may receive
     royalties on sales of those  enhancements.  The Company's  license revenues
     are recorded net of royalties.  The number of  sponsoring  companies in any
     shared-cost arrangement varies with the nature of the enhancement.

          CUSTOM  MODIFICATIONS.  Although the  Company's  software  systems are
     comprehensive,  most customers have  requirements that are not satisfied by
     standard software because of the unique nature of each customer's  products
     and  operations.  To the extent that such  requirements  are unique and the
     customer  cannot take  advantage of the Company's  shared-cost  enhancement
     programs  to satisfy  these  requirements,  the  customer  may  request the
     Company to provide the  analysis and  programming  necessary to effect such
     additions  or  alterations.  The  Company  has  a  staff  of  analysts  and
     programmers available to assist these customers with their requirements.

          MAINTENANCE.  Maintenance  of  the  Company's  products  is  generally
     provided pursuant to product support service  agreements with initial terms
     ranging from one to five years.  Subscribers receive  maintenance  services
     and selected  improvements and  enhancements to their  respective  software
     systems.

SALES AND MARKETING

     The  Company's  software  professionals  work  with  many of the  Company's
customers  on a  daily  basis  on a  wide  range  of  software  development  and
implementation  projects,  and are effective at  identifying  and  responding to
upcoming customer needs.

     The Company's  marketing efforts are directed primarily at large and medium
sized financial  services  companies in North America,  Europe,  and the Pacific
Rim.  The Company  believes  it is well  positioned  for global  growth and that
outsourcing  will remain an important part of its business.  The Company intends
to  continue  aggressively  pursuing  new  outsourcing  contracts  in all of its
geographic regions.

     The Company  believes it has  significant  opportunities  for new  software
license  sales in all of its regions for its  banking,  insurance,  and business
process software systems.  Sales cycles for the Company's  products are long and
unpredictable and the amount and timing of new license sales is uncertain.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     The computer  industry is characterized by rapid  technological  change and
the financial services industry is subject to continuing regulation and frequent
regulatory  changes.  Consequently,  computer software  companies  servicing the
financial services industry must devote substantial resources to the development
of new software products and the enhancement of existing software products.

     The  Company's  expenditures  for product  research  and  development  were
approximately $95.0 million, $67.1 million, and $62.7 million, respectively, for
the three  fiscal  years  ended  March 31,  1996,  1995 and 1994.  Research  and
development  costs  include  expenses  related  to the  development  of the  new
software  products and the enhancement of existing  software  products for which
the Company retains ownership rights. In addition,  Hogan capitalized internally
developed  software during the three fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994 of $5.6 million,  $13.2 million and $17.2 million,  respectively.  In March
1996,  $20,200,000 of capitalized  software was written off to reflect a decline
in net realizable value associated  primarily with changes in market  conditions
and changes in business strategy relating to the Company's banking products.

     A  substantial   portion  of  research  and  development  costs  relate  to
activities  wholly or  partially  funded by  customers,  including  the  product
support programs for the Company's various products and shared-cost  enhancement
development projects.

PRODUCT SUPPORT PROGRAMS

     Fees received by the Company pursuant to product support service agreements
fund ongoing development of selected product  improvements and enhancements,  as
well as error correction and other support  services.  See "Business -- Services
-- Maintenance," and "Business -- Licensing."

SHARED-COST ENHANCEMENTS

     The  Company  also  receives  software   development  funding  pursuant  to
shared-cost enhancement  arrangements with customers.  See "Business -- Services
-- Shared-Cost Enhancements."

COMPETITION

     The  computer  software  and  services  industry  is  highly   competitive.
Competition in the computer software and services industry is based primarily on
service, price,  functionality,  technological advances, and vendor reliability.
Financial  services  companies have several  alternatives  for satisfying  their
needs for computer applications software systems,  including third-party vendors
of standardized software such as that offered by the Company,  internal software
development  staffs,  and customized  software systems  developed by third-party
consultants.  The Company believes that internal software development staffs are
its principal source of competition.  In addition,  there are a number of larger
companies,  including  computer  manufacturers  such as IBM and computer service
companies,  that have substantially greater financial resources than the Company
and the  technological  ability to develop  products similar to those offered by
the Company.  There are also a number of competitors who offer software products
that are functionally similar to those offered by the Company,  including, among
others,  Policy  Management  Systems  Corporation,  the largest supplier of such
software systems to United States property and casualty insurance companies.

     The Company faces  competition  for  outsourcing  business from much larger
companies,  such as  Electronic  Data  Systems  and IBM,  who  have  established
reputations as providers of outsourcing  services.  See "Business -- Services --
Outsourcing."

EMPLOYEES

     At March 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 4,300 full-time employees.
Approximately  2,100 of these  employees were based in North  America,  1,100 in
Europe, and 1,100 in the Pacific Rim.

BACKLOG

     At March 31,  1996,  the  Company  had entered  into  written  maintenance,
shared-cost program enhancement,  custom program modification,  data processing,
and other  service  related  contracts  with  customers for  approximately  $517
million,  $240  million of which is expected to be  recognized  in fiscal  1997.
Approximately  60% of the backlog at March 31, 1996 is derived from  outsourcing
contracts.

Austin,  Texas were  closed in February  1994 and  processing  services  are now
provided  through DST at its  facilities in Kansas City,  Missouri.  The Company
operates large data centers in Dallas,  Texas;  Sydney and Melbourne,  Australia
and Auckland,  New Zealand which  utilize  various IBM and Amdahl  mainframe and
mid-range  computers.  The Company  also has data  processing  facilities  which
utilize IBM mid-range  computers in Tokyo,  Japan and  Camberley,  England.  The
Company intends to consolidate  its Australian data center  activities in fiscal
1997.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS

     The  Company  is  involved  in various  lawsuits  and is subject to certain
contingencies  incidental to its business,  while the ultimate  results of these
matters cannot be predicted with  certainty,  management does not expect them to
have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  consolidated  financial  position  or
operations of the Company.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The Company is an  international  consulting  and  computer  services  firm
serving  the  needs of the  global  financial  services  industry  for  computer
software and  services.  The  Company's  revenues are  principally  derived from
providing outsourcing services,  including third party administrative  services,
to the financial services industry,  licensing  sophisticated financial services
software  systems,  and providing  related software  development,  installation,
customization,  enhancement,  and  maintenance  services.  Outsourcing  services
offered by the Company range from providing a customer with remote processing of
a single financial services software  application to the complete replacement of
a customer's data processing  department.  The software  systems marketed by the
Company streamline the work processes and automate the administrative  functions
of  financial   services   companies,   such  as  issuing  insurance   policies,
administering  deposits,  and complying with complex government  regulations and
reporting  requirements.  The  Company  offers  a wide  range of  banking,  life
insurance,  general  insurance  (also known as non-life or property and casualty
insurance),  and  reinsurance  software  applications,  including  products with
extensive adaptations to the specific regional requirements of the world's major
financial services markets. The Company's product line includes systems designed
for use on a variety  of  hardware  platforms,  including  mainframe  computers,
mid-range computers, workstations and local area networks.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

PROPOSED MERGER

     On April 29, 1996,  the Company  announced  it had signed an Agreement  and
Plan of Merger with Computer Sciences  Corporation  ("CSC") based in El Segundo,
California,  and a wholly owned  subsidiary of CSC.  Shareholders of the Company
will  receive  0.79 shares of CSC stock for each share of the  Company's  Common
Stock  if the  merger,  which  is  subject  to  customary  conditions  including
shareholder and regulatory approvals, is consummated.  The merger is expected to
be consummated during the summer of 1996.

OUTSOURCING CONTRACTS

     The Company entered into several significant  outsourcing  contracts during
its 1996 fiscal year, with expected  revenues in excess of $200 million over the
lives of those contracts. The new contracts included outsourcing agreements with
Fidelity  and  Guaranty  Life  Insurance  Company  (with  expected  revenues  of
approximately  $80 million over eight years) and Penncorp  Financial Group, Inc.
(with expected revenues of approximately $50 million over seven years).

     Other important  outsourcing  contracts  announced  during the year include
agreements with Sun Alliance Group plc,  Independent  Order of Foresters and the
New Zealand Department of Labour.

FISCAL 1996 ACQUISITIONS

     During  fiscal 1996,  the Company  acquired  three major new  subsidiaries:
Hogan, SOCS and Ra.

     On March 15, 1996, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  shares of
Hogan through the issuance of 4,813,541  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock.
Hogan provides integrated software  applications and related consulting services
to banks and other financial institutions worldwide. Prior to the acquisition of
Hogan, the Company's sales efforts were concentrated  primarily in the insurance
industry. The Company views its acquisition of Hogan as a logical expansion into
a closely-related  industry that the Company is well-positioned to serve through
its  existing  customer  relationships  and  international  infrastructure.  The
Company  believes the acquisition of Hogan is an essential  long-term  strategic
move that will  position  the Company to serve the emerging  global  diversified
financial  services  industry,  while  at the  same  time  providing  attractive
near-term  opportunities for increased revenue and cost savings. The Company has
eliminated   over   $11,000,000  of  recurring   annual  expenses  at  Hogan  by
restructuring  facilities,  data  processing  and other  functions,  and expects
additional cost  reductions to raise total cost savings to over  $12,000,000 per
year.  Hogan is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company with  operations  in
Dallas, Texas; Frankfurt, Germany; London, England; and Melbourne, Australia.

     On December  28,  1995,  the Company  acquired all of the shares of SOCS, a
Paris-based  software and services company, for $37,600,000 in cash. SOCS is the
leading provider of insurance  application  software and related services to the
French  insurance  industry.  SOCS has over 130  insurance  customers in Europe,
primarily in France.  The  acquisition of SOCS provides the Company with leading
edge  object-oriented  software  technology  and a staff  of  approximately  200
persons with  extensive  insurance and  object-oriented  development  expertise.
SOCS'  primary   insurance   product  is  AIA,  which  is  a  functionally  rich
client/server  insurance  administration  application supporting both individual
and group life and health  insurance.  AIA is the new  generation  of  insurance
software,  supported by an open,  integrated,  object-oriented  development  and
execution environment called OCEANIC. This revolutionary application development
environment  allows the AIA application to be implemented  rapidly and to remain
flexible  and  responsive  to changing  business  needs.  The  Company  plans to
continue  enhancing  the tools  and  methodologies  developed  by SOCS as object
technology  standards  evolve and to  integrate  them with the  Company's  other
software development efforts.

     On May 3, 1995, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  shares of Ra
for  $10,823,000  in cash.  Ra is a leading  provider  of  software  systems  to
insurance  brokers in the United  Kingdom,  predominantly  in the  property  and
casualty sector. Ra also provides a range of services to insurance brokers, such
as updated rate books, electronic data interchange links to insurance companies,
insurance  document  printing and  specialist  broker  insurance  products.  The
acquisition of Ra advances the Company's plans to provide the European insurance
industry with systems for all distribution channels.

     The  acquisition  of Hogan was  accounted for as a pooling of interests and
accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations have been restated
to include the results of Hogan for all periods  presented.  The acquisitions of
SOCS and Ra have been  accounted for as purchases  and the operating  results of
SOCS and Ra have been included from the date of the acquisitions.

FISCAL 1994 ACQUISITIONS

     The Company completed two acquisitions  during fiscal 1994, the acquisition
of Paxus  Corporation  Limited on August 13, 1993 and the acquisition of Vantage
Computer  Systems,  Inc.  on  September  30,  1993.  The  acquisition  of  Paxus
substantially  broadened the Company's customer base and staff in Europe and the
Pacific  Rim and gave the  Company  several  new  product  offerings,  including
LIFE/400,  POLISY/400,  SICS, and CAPSIL. The acquisition of Vantage brought the
Company the  VANTAGE-ONE  life  insurance and  administration  software  system,
significant new outsourcing revenues and a substantial increase in the Company's
North American customer base.

     The  acquisition  of Paxus was  accounted for as a pooling of interests and
accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations have been restated
to include the results of Paxus for all periods  presented.  The  acquisition of
Vantage  has been  accounted  for as a  purchase  and the  operating  results of
Vantage have been included from the date of acquisition.

</TABLE>


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- 1996 VERSUS 1995

     On March 15, 1996, the Company  acquired  Hogan.  The  acquisition has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests and, therefore, the financial statements
of the  Company  have been  restated  to  include  the  results of Hogan for all
periods  reported.  During the year  ended  March 31,  1996,  the  Company  also
recorded  nonrecurring charges of $76,053,000  ($61,724,000 net of tax benefits)
related to its acquisitions.

     Excluding  the  results  of Hogan and  nonrecurring  charges,  the  Company
recorded  income of  $34,525,000  for fiscal 1996  compared to  $26,204,000  for
fiscal 1995,  an increase of 32%.  For fiscal 1996 Hogan  recorded a net loss of
$5,062,000 compared to net income for fiscal 1995 of $6,294,000.

     Total revenue excluding Hogan increased from $323,536,000 in fiscal 1995 to
$414,500,000  for fiscal 1996 or 28%.  Hogan  total  revenue  decreased  8% from
$92,097,000 to $84,966,000 for the comparable period. Reflecting the restatement
to include Hogan,  revenue grew  $83,023,000 or 20% from  $416,443,000 in fiscal
1995 to $499,466,000 in fiscal 1996.

     Service revenue  excluding  Hogan grew from  $301,783,000 in fiscal 1995 to
$382,950,000  for fiscal  1996 or 27%.  The  increase  in  revenue is  primarily
attributable  to a growth  in  outsourcing  revenue  of  $36,800,000,  increased
consulting revenue and increases related to the acquired  businesses of SOCS and
Ra.  Hogan  service  revenue  increased  7%  from  $78,615,000  to  $83,874,000,
primarily   attributable   to  increased   service   revenue   associated   with
implementation  projects.  Reflecting the restatement to include Hogan,  service
revenue grew $86,426,000 or 23% from $380,398,000 in fiscal 1995 to $466,824,000
in fiscal 1996.

     Service  expenses  excluding  Hogan for fiscal 1996 were  $292,625,000,  an
increase  of 28%  compared  to  fiscal  1995  when  they  totaled  $228,725,000,
primarily due to the growth in service revenue. Hogan service expenses increased
9% to  $64,900,000,  primarily  due to an  increase  in service  revenue  and an
increase in development costs and additional software  amortization.  Reflecting
the  restatement  to  include  Hogan,  service  expenses  for  fiscal  1996 were
$357,525,000,  an  increase of 24%  compared  to fiscal  1995 when they  totaled
$288,246,000.

     Service gross profit  excluding  Hogan  increased  $17,267,000 or 24%, from
$73,058,000 for fiscal 1995 to $90,325,000 for fiscal 1996. Service gross profit
as a percent of revenue  excluding  the results of Hogan was 24% for fiscal 1995
and 1996.  Hogan service gross profit decreased  $120,000 or 1%.  Reflecting the
restatement to include Hogan,  total service gross profit increased  $17,147,000
or 19%, from  $92,152,000 for fiscal 1995 to $109,299,000  for fiscal 1996. As a
percent of revenue  gross  profit  declined  from 24% in fiscal  1995 to 23% for
fiscal 1996.

     License revenue  excluding  Hogan increased 46% from  $21,135,000 in fiscal
1995 to  $30,765,000  in fiscal 1996  reflecting  the  continued  acceptance  of
COLOSSUS  and  increases  in  all  geographic  regions.  Hogan  license  revenue
decreased $13,242,000 from $13,991,000 to $749,000. The decline in license sales
is related to adjustments to conform the revenue recognition  practices of Hogan
and the usual delay in license decisions associated with the pending acquisition
of Hogan. Reflecting the restatement to include Hogan, license revenue decreased
from  $35,126,000  in fiscal 1995 to  $31,514,000  in fiscal 1996, a decrease of
10%.

     Year  to  year  marketing  and  administration   expenses  excluding  Hogan
increased  $16,130,000  or 30% and were 17% of revenue in both  fiscal  1996 and
1995. Hogan marketing and administration  expenses  increased  $2,799,000 or 12%
and  increased  from 26% of revenue  in fiscal  1995 to 32% of revenue in fiscal
1996. The increase in expenditures  is primarily  attributable to an increase in
international  sales  activities.  Reflecting  the  restatement to include Hogan
marketing and  administration  expenses for fiscal 1996 totaled  $97,446,000  an
increase of 24% compared to fiscal 1995 when they were $78,517,000.

     Pretax  income   excluding  Hogan  and  before   nonrecurring   charges  of
$76,053,000 for fiscal 1996 was  $48,569,000  compared to $38,108,000 for fiscal
1995,  an  increase  of 27%.  For fiscal  1996 Hogan  incurred a pretax  loss of
$6,978,000  compared to pretax income of $8,994,000 for fiscal 1995.  Reflecting
the restatement to include Hogan, pretax income before nonrecurring  charges for
the year ended  March 31,  1996 was  $41,591,000  compared  to pretax  income of
$47,102,000 for fiscal 1995.

     Tax expense  excluding Hogan and tax benefits for the nonrecurring  charges
was  $14,044,000  for fiscal 1996 compared to  $11,904,000  for fiscal 1995. The
effective  rates of 29% for fiscal  1996 and 31% for fiscal  1995 are lower than
the statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of net loss  carry-forwards.
Hogan  recognized  a tax  benefit  in  fiscal  1996 of  $1,916,000  which  is an
effective  tax rate of 27%,  lower than the  statutory  rate due to foreign  tax
losses without tax benefit. Fiscal 1995 tax expense for Hogan was $2,700,000, an
effective tax rate of 30%,  lower than the statutory  rate  primarily due to the
utilization of net loss carry-forwards.

     The nonrecurring charges of $76,053,000,  which were largely related to the
acquisitions  of Hogan and SOCS,  included a  $26,000,000  charge for  purchased
research and development,  restructuring  and transaction  costs of $19,400,000,
and  adjustments  to  the  carrying  value  of  certain   operating   assets  of
$30,700,000.

     The  $26,000,000  charge for purchased  research  development was a noncash
charge to expense resulting from the value assigned to the software  development
activities in process at SOCS.

     The $19,400,000  restructuring  charge resulted from a plan effected by the
Company  following the acquisitions of Hogan and SOCS to integrate,  restructure
and realign its  expanded  business to better serve its  customers  and markets.
These charges  included  transaction  costs  associated  with the acquisition of
Hogan of $9,600,000 and costs  associated with the  consolidation of facilities,
data processing activities and other functions of $9,800,000.  Transaction costs
included investment banking fees, proxy related expenses,  legal, accounting and
consulting fees.

     Restructuring  costs for facilities and data processing  activities totaled
$3,200,000 and included the costs of  consolidating  offices and data processing
in Europe and  Australia.  These  consolidations  will be completed in the first
half of fiscal  1997 and will  reduce  occupancy  and data  processing  costs in
future periods.  Restructuring  charges for staff reductions  totaled $6,600,000
and reflected the  elimination  of redundant  functions and capacity,  including
marketing,  administrative,  management and development personnel worldwide. The
staff reductions will result in reduced payroll expenses in future periods.

     The adjustments to the carrying value of certain  operating assets included
reductions in the capitalized  software and other intangibles of $22,000,000 and
a reduction in the value of certain receivables of $8,700,000. These adjustments
in carrying value represent noncash charges.

     Reflecting the restatement for Hogan and nonrecurring  charges, the Company
recognized a tax benefit for fiscal 1996 of $2,201,000,  reflecting an effective
tax rate of 6% which is lower than the statutory  rate primarily due to purchase
accounting  adjustments and nonrecurring charges that are not deductible for tax
purposes.  Tax expense for fiscal 1995 was  $14,604,000  reflecting an effective
tax rate of 31% which is lower  than the  statutory  rate  primarily  due to the
utilization of net loss carry-forwards.

     In summary,  the Company incurred a net loss for fiscal 1996 of $32,261,000
or $1.35 per share, reflecting nonrecurring charges of $76,053,000  ($61,724,000
after tax  benefits),  compared to net income of  $32,498,000 or $1.37 per share
for fiscal 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- 1995 VERSUS 1994

     During the year ended  March 31, 1995 the  Company  recorded  net income of
$32,498,000  or $1.37 per share  compared to a net loss of  $23,508,000 or $1.10
per share for fiscal 1994.  The loss for fiscal 1994 resulted from  nonrecurring
charges  of  $48,592,000.   These  nonrecurring  charges  were  related  to  the
acquisitions  of Paxus and Vantage and included a charge for purchased  research
and development, restructuring charges and other one-time charges.

     Pretax  income  excluding  Hogan  and  before   nonrecurring   charges  was
$38,108,000 for fiscal 1995 compared to $13,938,000 for fiscal 1994, an increase
of 173%. For fiscal 1995 Hogan recorded pretax income of $8,994,000  compared to
$10,492,000 for fiscal 1994. Reflecting the restatement to include Hogan, pretax
income  before  nonrecurring  charges  for the year  ended  March  31,  1995 was
$47,102,000 compared to pretax income of $24,430,000 for fiscal 1994.

     Total revenue  excluding  Hogan  increased 33% from  $242,949,000 in fiscal
1994 to  $323,536,000  for fiscal 1995.  Hogan total revenue  increased 28% from
$72,485,000 to $92,907,000. Reflecting the restatement to include Hogan, revenue
grew  $101,009,000  or 32% from  $315,434,000  in fiscal 1994 to $416,443,000 in
fiscal 1995.

     Service revenue  excluding Hogan grew 33% from  $227,391,000 in fiscal 1994
to  $301,783,000   for  fiscal  1995.  The  increase  in  revenue  is  primarily
attributable to a growth in outsourcing  revenue,  consulting revenue and a full
year of Vantage's results. Outsourcing revenue increased 95% from $55,900,000 in
fiscal 1994 to $108,900,000 in fiscal 1995. Hogan service revenue  increased 44%
from  $54,441,000  to  $78,615,000  for  comparable  periods.  The  increase was
primarily  attributable  to  an  increase  in  professional  service  rates  and
consulting  associated  with  implementations.  Reflecting  the  restatement  to
include Hogan,  service  revenue grew  $98,566,000 or 35% from  $281,832,000  in
fiscal 1994 to $380,398,000 in fiscal 1995.

     Service  expenses  excluding  Hogan for fiscal 1995 were  $228,725,000,  an
increase  of 31%  compared to fiscal 1994 when they  totaled  $174,615,000.  The
increase  was due to an  increase in service  revenue.  Hogan  service  expenses
increased  49% to  $59,251,000  for  comparable  periods  due to an  increase in
service revenue.  Reflecting the restatement to include Hogan,  service expenses
for fiscal 1995 were  $288,246,000,  an increase of 34%  compared to fiscal 1994
when they totaled $214,519,000.

     Service gross profit  excluding  Hogan  increased  $20,282,000 or 38%, from
$52,776,000 for fiscal 1994 to $73,058,000 for fiscal 1995. Service gross profit
as a percent of revenue,  excluding the results of Hogan,  increased from 23% in
fiscal  1994  to 24% in  fiscal  1995.  Hogan  service  gross  profit  increased
$4,557,000 or 31%.  Reflecting the  restatement to include Hogan,  service gross
profit  increased  $24,839,000  or 37%,  from  $67,313,000  for  fiscal  1994 to
$92,152,000 for fiscal 1995.  Service gross profit was 24% of revenue for fiscal
1994 and 1995.

     License revenue  excluding  Hogan increased 44% from  $14,689,000 in fiscal
1994 to  $21,135,000 in fiscal 1995 with the increase  attributable  to sales of
COLOSSUS and  VANTAGE-ONE.  Hogan  license  revenue  decreased  $3,208,000  from
$17,199,000  in fiscal  1994 to  $13,991,000  in fiscal  1995.  The  decrease is
attributable  to the decline in the number of licenses  sold during fiscal 1995.
Reflecting  the  restatement to include Hogan,  license  revenue  increased from
$31,888,000 in fiscal 1994 to $35,126,000 in fiscal 1995, an increase of 10%.

     Year to  year,  excluding  Hogan,  marketing  and  administration  expenses
increased  $3,864,000 or 8% and decreased  from 21% of revenue in fiscal 1994 to
17% of  revenue  in fiscal  1995.  The  decrease  as a  percent  of  revenue  is
attributable  to revenue growth during the year and the  restructuring  of Paxus
and  Vantage  during  the  last  half  of  fiscal  1994.   Hogan  marketing  and
administration  expenses  increased  $2,004,000 or 9% and decreased  from 30% of
revenue in fiscal  1994 to 26% of  revenue in fiscal  1995.  The  decrease  as a
percent of revenue is attributable to revenue growth during the year. Reflecting
the  restatement to include  Hogan,  marketing and  administration  expenses for
fiscal 1995 totaled  $78,517,000  an increase of 8% compared to fiscal 1994 when
they were  $72,649,000.  Reflecting the restatement to include Hogan,  marketing
and administration expenses for fiscal 1995 were 19% of revenues compared to 23%
of revenue for fiscal 1994.

     Interest income decreased in fiscal 1995 and totaled  $919,000  compared to
$1,714,000 in fiscal 1994. Interest expense decreased from $3,836,000 in 1994 to
$2,578,000 in 1995. Net interest expense  decreased to $1,659,000 in fiscal 1995
from  $2,122,000 in fiscal 1994 primarily due to excess cash balances being used
to retire Paxus debt in fiscal 1994.

     Tax expense for fiscal 1995 was  $14,604,000  reflecting  an effective  tax
rate of 31%. The effective rate for fiscal 1995 is lower than the statutory rate
primarily  due to  the  utilization  of net  loss  carry-forwards.  The  Company
recognized  a tax benefit for fiscal 1994 of $654,000,  reflecting  an effective
tax rate of 3% which is lower than the statutory  rate primarily due to purchase
accounting  adjustments and nonrecurring charges that are not deductible for tax
purposes.

     In summary,  the Company incurred a net loss for fiscal 1994 of $23,508,000
or $1.10 per share,  primarily  due to  nonrecurring  charges,  compared  to net
income of $32,498,000 or $1.37 per share for fiscal 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash  equivalents  decreased  to  $9,006,000  at  March  31,  1996
compared to  $52,289,000  at March 31, 1995.  During  fiscal  1996,  the Company
generated  $18,803,000 from operations and $3,324,000 from financing activities.
The  Company  utilized  $43,821,000  in cash  during  the  year to  finance  the
acquisitions of SOCS and Ra.

     During  fiscal  1996 the  Company  renewed and  increased  its  $20,000,000
revolving bank line of credit to $60,000,000. Approximately $23,000,000 was used
to fund the acquisition of SOCS in the December  quarter.  This debt was reduced
by  $16,000,000  during the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company does not
intend to renew Hogan's revolving line of credit, which expires in June 1996.

     Over half of the Company's  revenue is generated outside the United States.
As a  result,  the  Company's  operations  could be  significantly  affected  by
international  factors,  such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The
Company's strategy is designed to minimize the exchange rate risk by contracting
for  services in the  currency  in which the costs are  incurred.  However,  the
Company's results of operations may be significantly  affected in the short-term
by fluctuations  in foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  The Company's gains and
losses on transactions  denominated in foreign currencies have not been material
to the  Company's  operations.  The Company does not enter into forward  foreign
exchange contracts as a regular course of business.

     The Company's  planned  expansion of its  outsourcing  business may require
significant expenditures to the extent that the Company is required, among other
things, to purchase computer  facilities from its customers,  develop additional
data  centers,  assume  or buy out  leases  and  software  licenses,  or  assume
responsibility  for a customer's data processing staff. The Company  anticipates
that,  in the absence of  significant  expenditures  arising from  entering into
outsourcing  activities,  current cash balances, the Company's available line of
credit and cash from future  operations will be adequate for working capital and
anticipated  investment  requirements for the foreseeable  future. To the extent
that current cash balances from operations and current credit facilities are not
adequate to satisfy  the  Company's  requirements  with  respect to  outsourcing
arrangements,   the  Company  would  anticipate  seeking   additional   external
financing.  Such financing could include new borrowings,  the  availability  and
cost of which will depend upon general economic and market conditions.

QUARTERLY RESULTS

     During fiscal 1996 service  revenues  accounted for 93% of total  revenues.
License  sales,  however,  significantly  affect the  Company's  earnings due to
license fees for some of the Company's products which can exceed $1,000,000.  As
a result,  a single license sale can have a significant  effect on the Company's
earnings  for the  period in which the sale  occurs and  future  periods.  These
factors may impact quarter to quarter  comparisons of the Company's revenues and
earnings.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Continuum Company, Inc.

     We have audited the  consolidated  financial  statements  of The  Continuum
Company,  Inc. listed in the  accompanying  index to financial  statements (Item
14(a)).  The consolidated  financial  statements give retroactive  effect to the
acquisition of Hogan Systems,  Inc. in March 1996,  which has been accounted for
using  the  pooling  of  interests  method  as  described  in the  notes  to the
consolidated   financial   statements.   These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility   of  the   management  of  The  Continuum   Company,   Inc.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.  We did not audit the 1995 and 1994  financial  statements  of Hogan
Systems,  Inc.,  which  statements  reflect total assets  constituting 33% as of
March 31,  1995 and net income  constituting  approximately  19% and 27% for the
years ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,  respectively,  of the related consolidated
financial  statement  totals.  Those  statements  were audited by other auditors
whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to
data included for Hogan Systems,  Inc. for 1995 and 1994, is based solely on the
report of other auditors.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  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 statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

     In our  opinion,  based on our audits,  and for 1995 and 1994 the report of
other auditors,  the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the consolidated  financial  position of The
Continuum Company, Inc. at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results
of their  operations  and their  cash  flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended March 31, 1996, after giving effect to the merger of Hogan Systems,
Inc., as described in the notes to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, during the
year ended March 31, 1994,  The Continuum  Company,  Inc.  changed its method of
accounting for income taxes.

                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Hogan Systems, Inc.

In our opinion,  the  consolidated  balance  sheet and the related  consolidated
statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in shareholders' equity as of
and for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 1995 (not  presented
separately  herein)  present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial
position,  results of operations and cash flows of Hogan  Systems,  Inc. and its
subsidiaries  (Hogan)  as of and for each of the two years in the  period  ended
March 31, 1995, in conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.
These financial  statements are the  responsibility of Hogan's  management;  our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.  We conducted  our audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  and evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We
believe  that our audits  provide a reasonable  basis for the opinion  expressed
above. We have not audited the  consolidated  financial  statements of Hogan for
any period subsequent to March 31, 1995.

                          THE CONTINUUM COMPANY, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Continuum
Company,  Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries.  Intercompany  accounts and
transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The Company's revenues are principally  derived from providing  outsourcing
services,  including  third  party  administrative  services,  to the  financial
services industry,  licensing sophisticated financial services software systems,
and  providing  related  software  development,   installation,   customization,
enhancement, and maintenance services.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions,  in particular  estimates of anticipated contract costs utilized in
the  revenue  recognition  process,  that  affect the  amounts  reported  in the
financial  statements and accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     Assets and  liabilities of foreign  operations  are translated  into United
States dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Income
and expense  accounts are translated at the average  exchange rate for the year.
Resulting translation adjustments are included in retained earnings. Transaction
gains or losses, including those arising from intercompany  transactions,  which
are not material,  are included in marketing and administration  expenses of the
period in which they occur.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and  equipment are recorded at cost and include  amounts  recorded
under capital leases.  Depreciation is provided using the  straight-line  method
over the estimated  useful lives of the assets.  The useful lives utilized range
primarily from two to forty years.  Leasehold  improvements  are amortized using
the  straight-line  method over the lesser of the estimated  useful lives of the
assets or the term of the related  leases and such  amortization  is included in
depreciation and amortization of property and equipment.








                                      F-10
<PAGE>
SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

     Purchased  software  systems are  recorded at cost and are  amortized  over
their  estimated  economic  lives of three to five  years.  Costs of  internally
developed  software  systems incurred  subsequent to establishing  technological
feasibility are  capitalized.  Amortization of internally  developed or acquired
software  systems is  provided  on a product by product  basis at the greater of
amortization   based  on  the   estimated   revenues  of  the  products  or  the
straight-line  amortization  over the estimated  economic lives of the products,
generally ten years. At March 31, 1996, the Company's principal software systems
have remaining estimated economic lives of four to ten years.

     Hogan capitalized  internally  developed  software in fiscal 1996, 1995 and
1994 of $5,618,000, $13,170,000 and $17,171,000,  respectively.  Amortization of
capitalized  internally  developed  software in fiscal  1996,  1995 and 1994 was
$5,821,000, $2,155,000 and $641,000, respectively.  Amortization of all software
systems  for the years  ended  March 31,  1996,  1995 and 1994 was  $10,833,000,
$6,429,000 and $7,105,000, respectively, and is included in service expenses.

     In March  1996,  $20,200,000  of  capitalized  software  was written off to
reflect a decline in net realizable value  associated  primarily with changes in
market  conditions  and changes in business  strategy  relating to the Company's
banking products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research  and  development  costs,  including  software  development  costs
incurred  prior to  technological  feasibility,  are  expensed  as  incurred.  A
substantial  portion  of the  Company's  research  and  development  is fully or
partially  funded by  customers  through  various  programs,  including  product
support and shared-cost arrangements. Costs totaled $94,981,000, $67,067,000 and
$62,744,000  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  1996,  1995  and  1994,
respectively,  and are  included  in service  expenses.  Revenues  derived  from
customer-related research and development are included in service revenues.

GOODWILL

     Goodwill  represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired  business
over the fair value of the  identifiable net assets acquired and is amortized on
a  straight-line  basis over the expected  period of benefit,  generally  twenty
years. Amortization of goodwill for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, 1995,
and 1994 was $1,708,000, $853,000 and $578,000, respectively, and is included in
marketing and administration expenses.

RECOGNITION OF REVENUE

     Service revenues including  outsourcing  services,  systems  installations,
computer  processing,  education,  consulting,  and development and enhancements
under product support,  shared-costs,  and other  arrangements are recognized as
the services  are  performed,  or upon the  completion  of specific  contractual
events,  or based on an estimated  percentage of completion as work  progresses.
Projected  losses, if any, are recognized when they become  identified.  Service
revenues  under  maintenance  contracts are recognized pro rata over the life of
the contracts.




                                      F-11
<PAGE>
     Software  systems  license  revenue is  recognized  when the license is not
cancelable,  the software has been delivered,  collectibility of the license fee
is assured,  and no significant future obligation exists.  Revenues are recorded
net of royalties.  Where customer  acceptance is subject to  significant  future
events,  revenue is deferred.  Revenue  from  significant  software  development
contracts is  recognized  based on an estimated  percentage of completion as the
work  progresses.  Projected  losses,  if any, are  recognized  when they become
identified.

     Deferred  revenue  consists  primarily of advances on certain  software and
installation   contracts  and  payments  in  excess  of  revenue  recognized  on
maintenance and development contracts.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings  per  common  share are based on the  weighted  average  of common
shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Common  Stock  equivalents  have been
excluded in the year ended March 31, 1996  because the Company  reflected a loss
for the year. Common Stock equivalents were excluded in the previous year due to
immateriality.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

     All highly liquid  investments with an original maturity of less than three
months are classified as cash equivalents.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     For  comparative  purposes,  certain  reclassifications  have  been made to
amounts presented for fiscal years prior to 1996.

INCOME TAXES

     Effective April 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the use of the
liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting  and tax  purposes  at the rates  expected  to be in  effect  when the
deferred taxes are realized.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In March 1995,  the FASB issued  Statement  No.  121,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed of".
The Company will adopt  Statement  No. 121 in fiscal 1997 and,  based on current
circumstances,  does not expect a material  impact to the  Company's  results of
operations or financial position.

     In October  1995,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  123,  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based  Compensation," which prescribes  accounting and reporting standards
for all stock-based  compensation plans,  including employee stock options.  The
Company must adopt the  provisions  of  Statement  No. 123 during the year ended
March 31,  1997.  The  Company  continues  to  evaluate  the  provisions  of the
statement and has not determined whether it will adopt the Statement for expense
recognition purposes.

                                    =========      =========

     The  collateralized  notes are  secured by a mortgage of real estate and an
assignment  of the  Company's  lease  of the  building  for  its  Austin,  Texas
headquarters.  Principal  and interest  are paid  monthly  with a final  balloon
payment of $16,143,000 due on December 29, 1998.  Interest accrues at prime plus
1.5% (9.75% at March 31, 1996 and 10.5% at March 31, 1995).

     The  $3,500,000  note  payable  outstanding  at March 31, 1996  consists of
borrowings from a customer made in fiscal 1996 in connection with an outsourcing
agreement.  The note is payable December 31, 2001 and interest accrues at 5% per
year.  The note payable in fiscal 1995  consists of  borrowings  from a customer
made in fiscal 1995 in connection with an outsourcing services agreement and was
repaid in fiscal 1996.

     In  December  1995,  the  Company  renewed and  increased  its  $20,000,000
revolving  bank line of credit to  $60,000,000.  The credit line expires on June
22, 1996. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may borrow funds in U.S.
dollars or in optional foreign currencies.  U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest
at the greater of the bank's prime  lending rate or the federal  funds rate plus
0.5%.  Foreign currency  borrowings bear interest at the  Eurocurrency  rate for
selected  periods  of one,  two,  or three  months  plus 1%.  Additionally,  the
agreement  requires the Company to obtain  approval for paying  dividends and to
maintain  certain minimum  financial  ratios.  As of March 31, 1996,  borrowings
outstanding in connection  with this agreement  were  $7,001,000.  There were no
borrowings outstanding in connection with this agreement as of March 31, 1995.

     In March 1995, Hogan entered into a $20,000,000 unsecured revolving line of
credit, which expires on June 14, 1996. There were no borrowings  outstanding in
connection  with this  agreement  as of March 31,  1996.  As of March 31,  1995,
borrowings outstanding in connection with this agreement were $1,920,000.

     Interest expense,  which approximates interest paid, for fiscal years March
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,904,000, $2,578,000 and $3,836,000, respectively.

     Maturities  of  notes  payable  and  long-term  debt  are  as  follows  (in
thousands):

          FISCAL YEAR
          -----------
          1997 .......... $  8,031
          1998 ..........      850

          Total ......... $ 29,194
                          =========

     The fair value of the Company's  note payable and  long-term  debt at March
31, 1996  approximates  their carrying value because  substantially all the debt
has variable interest rates.

NOTE 6:  COMMITMENTS

     The Company  leases a portion of its  premises  and  equipment  under terms
generally  ranging  from one to fifteen  years with  options  for  renewals  for
additional  periods.  A summary of minimum lease  commitments  at March 31, 1996
that have  initial or  remaining  lease terms in excess of one year  follows (in
thousands):

                   FISCAL YEAR
                   -----------
                   1997 ................................... $   19,914

                   1999 ...................................      9,508

                   Thereafter .............................     23,432

                                                            ===========

     Rental  expense  for all  operating  leases,  including  short-term  rental
agreements,  was  $36,931,000,  $26,410,000 and $25,466,000 for the fiscal years
ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Leases for some office space
provide  that  the base  rent  may be  increased  to  cover  increased  building
operating expenses.

     Financial   instruments   which   potentially   subject   the   Company  to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts  receivable.  The Company's
customer  base  includes  significant,  well-known  life and  general  insurance
companies and banks in North America,  Europe,  Latin  America,  and the Pacific
Rim.  Although the Company is directly  affected by the financial  well-being of
the  insurance and banking  industry,  management  does not believe  significant
credit risks exist at March 31, 1996.

     In September 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with a shareholder
(the former parent company of Vantage) to purchase data  processing  services at
commercial  rates for a period of six years.  During fiscal 1996,  1995 and 1994
the Company has incurred  expenses of  $22,647,000,  $15,662,000 and $6,100,000,
respectively,  for data  processing  and other  consulting  services,  which are
included in service  expenses.  In  addition,  in fiscal 1994,  the  shareholder
assumed  responsibility  for the Company's capital leases of computer  equipment
and purchased at book value certain of the Company's data processing assets.

     The  Company  is  involved  in various  lawsuits  and is subject to certain
contingencies  incidental to its business,  while the ultimate  results of these
matters cannot be predicted with  certainty,  management does not expect them to
have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  consolidated  financial  position  or
operations of the Company.

NOTE 7:  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT VENTURE

     During  fiscal  1992,  Paxus  entered  into an  agreement  with a financial
institution to complete the development of a new software  application  designed
for the insurance  industry.  Paxus  licensed  core  technology to the financial
institution  and acted as the contractor  carrying out the development on behalf
of the investor. The agreement was renegotiated in fiscal 1995.

     Prior to the  renegotiation,  Paxus had the exclusive  rights to market the
new software  application  through March 31, 1998.  During this period royalties
were payable to the financial institution based on each sale and a final royalty
payment,  regardless of the level of sales achieved, was to be made on March 31,
1998.

     During fiscal 1995, Paxus made payments of $20,963,000.  As a result of the
renegotiation  and  reviews  of  anticipated  future  obligations,  the  Company
recognized a reduction of service  expenses of $2,700,000 and $2,400,000  during
the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. At March 31, 1996,
the balance  sheet  includes in other  liabilities  approximately  $1,200,000 of
anticipated future obligations under the agreement.

NOTE 8:  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Hogan  acquired  the  marketing  and  support  service  rights  to  Hogan's
Integrated  Banking  Applications  software  and certain  other  products in the
United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Latin America from International Business
Machines Corporation ("IBM") effective February 1, 1994 (marketing) and March 1,
1994  (maintenance  and support).  The Company is amortizing the rights over the
anticipated periods of benefit of 15 months and 12 years for the maintenance and
support and marketing  rights,  respectively.  At March 31, 1996,  $4,600,000 of
intangible assets is reflected in other assets.  Amortization charged to expense
for these  rights  amounted to  $540,000  in fiscal 1996 and  $864,000 in fiscal
1995.

NOTE 9:  RECEIVABLES

     At  March  31,  1996,  approximately  $6,154,000  of  unbilled  receivables
associated with long-term  outsourcing contracts are included in other long-term
assets. The Company expects to bill and collect these amounts in fiscal 1998 and
1999.

     The following  table  summarized  the changes in the allowance for doubtful
accounts for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 1996:

</TABLE>


     The  $7,328,000  and  $10,120,000  decrease in the  valuation  allowance in
fiscal 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  relates to the  utilization of foreign tax
loss  carry-forwards  and  management's   assessment  of  the  adequacy  of  the
allowance. The $1,134,000 increase in valuation allowance in fiscal 1994 relates
primarily to additional foreign tax loss carry-forwards.

     At March 31, 1996 and 1995 long-term  deferred tax assets of  approximately
$2,067,000, and $935,000,  respectively,  are presented with other (non-current)
assets.  Current deferred tax liabilities at March 31, 1996 and 1995,  presented
with other  current  liabilities,  are  approximately  $1,403,000  and $390,000,
respectively.

     At March 31, 1996, the Company had approximately  $2,846,000 of foreign tax
operating loss carry-forwards. Approximately $1,798,000 of the tax net operating
loss carry-forwards are available indefinitely;  the remaining $1,048,000 expire
beginning in fiscal 1997.  These  carry-forwards  are subject to various foreign
rules which may restrict their  utilization in future  periods.  As of March 31,
1996, the Company had approximately  $4,876,000 of U.S. research and development
credits,  which expire  beginning in 1997. These credits are subject to separate
return and change of ownership limitations. The Company also has foreign capital
loss carry-forwards. The utilization of these carry-forwards is doubtful because
they are available only to offset capital gains.

     Deferred  federal  and  foreign  taxes are not  provided  on  approximately
$32,134,000 of unremitted  earnings of foreign  subsidiaries as the earnings are
intended to be indefinitely reinvested.  Under existing law, these earnings will
not be subject to U.S. tax until  distributed  as  dividends.  Any taxes paid to
foreign governments on those earnings may be used in whole or in part as credits
against the U.S. tax on the dividend  distributions.  It is not  practicable  to
estimate the amount of unrecognized  deferred U.S. taxes on these  undistributed
earnings.

     Income tax payments, net of any refunds, made during the fiscal years ended
March 31, 1996,  1995 and 1994 were  approximately  $5,486,000,  $4,591,000  and
$3,804,000, respectively.

     At March 31,  1996,  various  income tax returns for prior years were under
examination by respective tax authorities.  The Company does not expect material
adjustments from these examinations.

NOTE 11:  INCENTIVE AND BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company has a defined  contribution  employee  retirement plan covering
substantially all U.S.  employees.  Contributions made pursuant to such plan are
calculated on the basis of the greater of a portion of employee  compensation or
a portion of the income before taxes of the Company.  Employee  retirement  plan
expense was  $1,825,000,  $2,107,000  and  $1,564,000 for the fiscal years ended
March 31,  1996,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The  Company  does not  provide
benefits other than pensions to retired employees.

     The Company has a restricted  stock and bonus plan for  granting  awards of
Common Stock to key employees subject to certain forfeiture restrictions and for
paying them cash bonuses  coincident with such grants. The plan provides for the
issuance of up to 200,000  shares of which an aggregate of 162,828 shares net of
forfeiture were outstanding at March 31, 1996.  Vesting occurs ratably over five
years  from the  grant  date.  Amortization  of the  unearned  compensation  was
$683,000, $755,000, and $748,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. Cash bonuses of $211,000, $77,000 and $332,000 were paid
during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Tax
deductions  associated  with the awards of Common  Stock  result in the  Company
receiving current federal tax reductions approximating the cash bonuses paid.

     The Company has a deferred compensation  incentive plan to provide deferred
compensation  to a limited  number of  executive  officers of the Company in the
event that  certain  goals are  attained as to pretax  income  amounts.  Amounts
credited to  participants  do not vest for one year,  at which time  vesting and
payment  occur at the rate of 25% per year.  Deferred  compensation  awarded  in
fiscal year 1996 and 1995 was $1,645,000 and $1,062,000, respectively.

     Prior  to its  acquisition,  Paxus  sold  common  stock  to  employees  and
directors  in exchange  for  non-interest-bearing  notes  secured by the shares.
Payments  received in fiscal 1996,  1995 and 1994 were $103,000,  $1,659,000 and
$487,000, respectively. The notes are classified as a reduction of stockholders'
equity.

     In November 1995, Hogan received  recourse notes related to the exercise of
Hogan stock options totaling  $3,888,000 from certain  officers of Hogan.  These
notes  are  also  secured  by  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock  and are
classified as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

     The  Company  has a number of Stock  Option  plans  which  provide  for the
granting of options to directors,  officers and key employees to purchase, after
a certain period of time,  shares of the Company's  Common Stock. As a result of
the  acquisition  of Hogan,  the  Company  assumed the  outstanding  Hogan stock
options  equivalent  to 504,578  options  of the  Company's  Common  Stock at an
average exercise price of $20.71.

     The maximum  number of shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock that will be
issued  under all stock option  plans is  3,478,990.  In fiscal 1994 the Company
issued an option to  purchase  200,000  shares of Common  Stock at $25 per share
exercisable from October 1995 through September 1998.

     Total option  activity for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, was
as follows:

     At March 31, 1996 and 1995,  168,644 and  787,411  shares of Common  Stock,
respectively,  were  available for grant under the stock option plans  discussed
above.

     In addition, the Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides
for the  purchase of up to 300,000  shares of Common  Stock by  employees of the
Company.  Substantially  all  employees are eligible to  participate  subject to
certain limitations. The plan provides for the semi-annual purchase of shares of
Common  Stock  at 85% of the  lower of the fair  market  value of the  Company's
Common  Stock on the first or last day of the offering  period.  In fiscal years
1996, 1995 and 1994,  employees  purchased  80,383,  71,834 and 33,270 shares of
Common Stock,  respectively,  with net proceeds of  $2,172,000,  $1,208,000  and

                             ADOPTED JULY 19, 1994

                  RESOLVED,  that the  Section  3.2 of the  Company's  Bylaws be
              amended in its entirety as follows:

              Section 3.2 Number and Term. The number of directors  shall be set
              by  resolution  of the Board of Directors  and may be increased or
              decreased (provided such decrease does not shorten the term of any
              incumbent  director)  from time to time by  resolution;  provided,
              however,  that the number of  directors  shall  never be less than
              three  (3)  nor  more  than  ten  (10).   Directors  need  not  be
              Stockholders.  No decrease in the number of  directors  shall have
              the  effect of  shortening  the term of  office  of any  incumbent
              director.  Directors shall be elected by the  Stockholders at each
              annual  meeting.  Unless removed in accordance with the provisions
              of these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation, each director
              shall hold office  until the next annual  meeting of  Stockholders
              and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

                      NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     The Continuum  Company,  Inc. a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  and
MICHAEL H. ANDERSON (the  "Employee")  make this  Agreement as of the 1st day of
April, 1996 (the "Grant Date") by affording Employee the opportunity to purchase
shares of common stock of the Company ("Stock").

     1. GRANT OF OPTION.  The Company grants  Employee the option  ("Option") to
purchase all or any part of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Stock,  subject to
the vesting  schedule  stated in Section 3 and to the other terms and conditions
of this Agreement. This Option shall not be treated as an incentive stock option
within the meaning of section  422(b) of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code").

     2. PURCHASE PRICE.  The purchase price of Stock  purchased  pursuant to the
exercise of this Option shall be $42.50 per share.

     3. EXERCISE OF OPTION.  This Option shall vest (i.e. become exercisable) as
to fifty thousand (50,000) shares of Stock on the first anniversary of the Grant
Date and fifty  thousand  (50,000)  shares on the second  anniversary,  provided
Employee  remains an employee of the Company.  However,  if the closing price of
Stock,  as quoted on the New York Stock  Exchange,  is equal to or greater  than
$70.00 per share for any twenty-two  consecutive trading days during the term of
this Option  Agreement,  the Option shall become  immediately  exercisable as to
one-half of the then unvested  portion,  and the remaining  unvested Stock shall
continue to vest at the rate of fifty  percent  (50%) of the number of shares of
Stock stated in Section 1 above on each  anniversary of the Grant Date until the
Option is fully vested. If the closing price of Stock, as quoted on the New York
Stock Exchange,  is equal to or greater than $85.00 per share for any twenty-two
consecutive  trading days during the term of this Option  Agreement,  the Option
shall become immediately  exercisable in full. The acceleration rights stated in
this Section shall lapse if not invoked prior to any  termination  of Employee's
employment,  including a termination due to disability or retirement (as defined
below).

     Employee  may not  transfer  this  Option  except by will or by the laws of
descent  and  distribution.  Only  Employee  may  exercise  this  Option  during
Employee's lifetime.

     This Option may be exercised only while Employee remains an employee of the
Company  and  will  terminate  and  cease  to be  exercisable  immediately  upon
Employee's termination of employment with the Company, except that:

     (a) If  Employee's  employment  with the  Company  terminates  by reason of
     disability  (as used  herein,  disability  shall be within  the  meaning of
     Section  22(e)(3) of the Code),  unless Employee  requests  acceleration as
     provided in (c) below, the Option will continue to become exercisable as if
     Employee  remained  employed by the Company;  provided,  however,  that the
     Option shall expire  immediately  in the event that  Employee  participates
     within the United  States as an  employee,  agent,  or  consultant,  in any
     enterprise that develops or markets  computer  software or computer related
     services to any industry  served by the Company if the software or services
     developed or marketed by such  enterprise  serve,  for the end user, any of

                                       S-2
<PAGE>
     the functions served by the Company's  software or services  (excluding any
     of the  Company's  software  or  services  for  which  Employee  has had no
     material access to confidential  information and no material  participation
     in marketing, development, or delivery), or software or services (excluding
     any of the  Company's  software of services  for which  Employee has had no
     material access to confidential  information and no material  participation
     in marketing development,  or delivery) that, to Employee's knowledge,  the
     Company is actively planning to develop or market (collectively referred to
     herein as "Restricted  Activities").

     (b) If  Employee's  employment  with the  Company  terminates  by reason of
     retirement  (meaning voluntary  termination after age 60 years), the Option
     will continue to become exercisable as if Employee remained employed by the
     Company; provided, however, that the Option shall expire immediately in the
     event that Employee engages in any of the Restricted Activities.

     (c) In the event of Employee's disability (as defined above),  Employee has
     the right to  request in writing  that all of the  unvested  portion of the
     Option  immediately vest as of the date of disability.  The request must be
     made during a period of disability.  Immediate acceleration of any unvested
     Option would be contingent  upon Employee  agreeing in writing that,  until
     the tenth  anniversary of the Grant Date,  Employee will not participate in
     any  of  the  Restricted  Activities.  In  the  event  that  Employee  does
     participate  in a Restricted  Activity  within ten years of the Grant Date,
     then Employee  agrees to immediately  pay to the Company an amount equal to
     the fair  market  value,  as of the date of  disability,  of the  number of
     shares of Stock  underlying  the portion of the Option in which vesting was
     accelerated under this provision. The fair market value of such Stock shall
     equal the closing price of the Stock as of the date of disability  less the
     Option exercise price.

     (d) If Employee dies while in the employ of the Company,  this Option shall
     become  exercisable  as of the date of death in full  (less  the  number of
     shares  for  which  this  Option  has been  exercised  before  death),  and
     Employee's  estate or the person who  acquires  this  Option by will or the
     laws of descent and  distribution  or  otherwise  by reason of the death of
     Employee may exercise  this Option at any time until the first  anniversary
     of the date of death.

     (e) If  Employee's  employment  with the Company is  terminated  (which for
     purposes  of  this  3(e)  shall  include  any   voluntary  or   involuntary
     termination  of  employment  following  either a material  reduction in the
     Employee's compensation or a material reduction in the Employee's duties or
     responsibilities) by the Company other than for "cause" (as defined in 3(f)
     below)  within two years after a "change in control" (as defined  below) of
     the Company,  this Option shall become  exercisable  as of the date of such
     termination  in full (less the  number of shares for which this  Option has
     been exercised before such termination), and Employee (or Employee's estate
     or the person who  acquires  this Option by will or the laws of descent and
     distribution  or otherwise by reason of the death of Employee) may exercise
     this  Option at any time  until the tenth  anniversary  of the Grant  Date.
     "Change of  Control"  shall mean and shall be deemed to have taken place if
     (i) any third person or entity other than DST  Systems,  Inc.,  including a
     "group" as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities  Exchange Act
     of 1934 (together with all persons or entities  controlling,  controlled by
     or under common control with such person,  entity or group),  purchases or,
     as a result of a tender offer,  exchange offer, merger,  consolidation,  or

                                       S-3
<PAGE>
     other transaction  acquires,  beneficial  ownership or control  (including,
     without  limitation,  the power to vote) of shares of capital  stock of the
     Company having thirty percent (30%) or more of the number of votes that may
     be cast for the  election of  directors  of the Company or (ii) as a result
     of, or in connection with a contested  election for directors,  a number of
     directors  equal to a majority  of the Board of  Directors  of the  Company
     before such  election  cease to be members of the Board of Directors of the
     Company.  In the case of DST Systems,  Inc., a "Change of Control" shall be
     deemed to have taken place if DST Systems,  Inc. (together with all persons
     or entities  controlling,  controlled  by or under common  control with DST
     Systems, Inc.) purchases or, as a result of a tender offer, exchange offer,
     merger, consolidation,  or other transaction acquires, beneficial ownership
     or control (including,  without limitation, the power to vote) of shares of
     capital stock of the Company having thirty-two percent (32%) or more of the
     number  of votes  that may be cast for the  election  of  directors  of the
     Company.  The date of  occurrence  of a "Change of Control"  shall mean the
     date of  occurrence  of the specified  event  constituting  such "Change of
     Control." If more than one event constituting a "Change of Control" occurs,
     the date of the "Change of Control"  for  purposes of the Plan shall be the
     first to occur of such events.

     (f) If Employee's  employment  with the Company  terminates  for any reason
     other than as described in (a) - (e) above, this Option may be exercised by
     Employee at any time during the period of three (3) months  following  such
     termination,  or by  Employee's  estate (or the person  who  acquires  this
     Option by will or the laws of descent  and  distribution  or  otherwise  by
     reason of the death of Employee)  during a period of one (1) year following
     Employee's  death if Employee  dies during such  three-month  period.  This
     exception shall not apply if Employee  voluntarily  terminates  without the
     written consent of the Company or is terminated for cause.  For purposes of
     this Agreement,  "cause" shall mean Employee's  gross negligence or willful
     misconduct  in  performance  of the  duties of  Employee's  employment,  or
     Employee's final conviction of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral
     turpitude.

     This  Option  shall  not  be  exercisable  in any  event  after  the  tenth
     anniversary  of the Grant Date.  The  purchase  price of shares as to which
     this Option is  exercised  shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in
     cash  (including  check,  bank draft or money order payable to the order of
     the  Company).  Employee  must  exercise  its Option as to whole  shares of
     Stock;  no fraction of a share of Stock shall be issued by the Company upon
     exercise  of an Option.  Unless  and until a  certificate  or  certificates
     representing such shares shall have been issued by the Company to Employee,
     Employee (or the person  permitted to exercise  this Option in the event of
     Employee's death) shall not be or have any of the rights or privileges of a
     shareholder  of the  Company  with  respect  to shares  acquirable  upon an
     exercise of this Option.

     4. WITHHOLDING OF TAX. If the exercise of this Option or the disposition of
shares of Stock  acquired by exercise  of this  Option  results in  compensation
income to Employee for federal or state income tax purposes,  Employee shall pay
to the Company at the time of such  exercise or  disposition  such amount as the
Company may require to meet its withholding  obligation arising from such income
under applicable tax laws, regulations, or rulings.

                                       S-4
<PAGE>
     5. STATUS OF STOCK.  The Company intends to register for issuance under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended (the "Act") the shares of Stock  acquirable
upon exercise of this Option, and to keep such registration effective throughout
the  period  this  Option  is  exercisable.  In the  absence  of such  effective
registration or an available exemption from registration under the Act, issuance
of shares of Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Option will be delayed until
registration of such shares is effective or an exemption from registration under
the Act is available. The Company intends to use its best efforts to ensure that
no such delay will occur. In the event exemption from registration under the Act
is available upon an exercise of this Option,  Employee (or the person permitted
to exercise  this Option in the event of  Employee's  death or  incapacity),  if
requested  by the Company to do so,  will  execute and deliver to the Company in
writing an agreement  containing  such  provisions as the Company may require to
assure compliance with applicable securities laws.

     Employee  agrees  that the shares of Stock  which  Employee  may acquire by
exercising  this Option will not be sold or otherwise  disposed of in any manner
which would constitute a violation of any applicable  securities  laws,  whether
federal or state.  Employee also agrees (i) that the  certificates  representing
the shares of Stock  purchased under this Option may bear such legend or legends
as the Committee (as defined in the Plan) deems  appropriate  in order to assure
compliance with applicable  securities laws, (ii) that the Company may refuse to
register the transfer of the shares of Stock  purchased under this Option on the
stock  transfer  records of the Company if such proposed  transfer  would in the
opinion of counsel  satisfactory  to the Company  constitute  a violation of any
applicable  securities  law,  and  (iii)  that  the  Company  may  give  related
instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer
of the shares of Stock purchased under this Option.

     6. EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP.  For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall
be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains
an  employee  of either the  Company,  a parent or  subsidiary  corporation  (as
defined in Section 424 of the Code) of the Company, or a corporation or a parent
or subsidiary of such corporation assuming or substituting a new option for this
Option. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such
employment,  and the  cause  of such  termination,  shall be  determined  by the
Committee, and its determination shall be final.

     7. NON-COMPETITION. Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months
following any  termination  of Employee's  employment  with the Company (and for
such  longer  period as may be  applicable  under  any  provision  of  Section 3
hereof), Employee shall not engage in any Restricted Activity.

     8.  RECAPITALIZATION  OR  REORGANIZATION.  (a) The existence of this Option
shall not  affect in any way the right or power of the Board of  Directors  (the
"Board") or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment,
recapitalization,  reorganization,  or other  change  in the  Company's  capital
structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue
of debt or equity  securities ahead of or affecting Stock or the rights thereof,
the  dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale,  lease,  exchange or
other  disposition  of all or any part of its  assets or  business  or any other
corporate act or proceeding.

                                       S-5   
<PAGE>
     (b) The shares  with  respect to which this Option is granted are shares of
Stock as presently constituted,  but if, and whenever prior to the expiration of
the Option, the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of
Stock  or  the  payment  of  a  stock  dividend  on  Stock  without  receipt  of
consideration  by the  Company,  the number of shares of Stock  with  respect to
which this Option may thereafter be exercised (i) in the event of an increase in
the number of outstanding  shares shall be  proportionately  increased,  and the
purchase price per share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event
of a reduction  in the number of  outstanding  shares  shall be  proportionately
reduced, and the purchase price per share shall be proportionately increased.

     (c) In the  event of a  proposed  sale of all or  substantially  all of the
assets  of the  Company,  or the  merger  of the  Company  with or into  another
corporation,  this  Option  shall be assumed or an  equivalent  option  shall be
substituted  by such  successor  corporation  or a parent or  subsidiary of such
successor corporation,  unless the Board determines, in the exercise of its sole
discretion and in lieu of such assumption or  substitution,  that Employee shall
have the right to exercise  this Option as to all of the Stock  underlying  this
Option,  including shares of Stock as to which the Option would not otherwise be
exercisable.  If the  Board  makes  this  Option  fully  exercisable  in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board
shall notify  Employee that this Option shall be fully  exercisable for a period
of sixty (60) days from the date of such notice,  and this Option will terminate
upon the expiration of such period.

     (d) Except as herein before expressly provided, the issuance by the Company
of shares of Stock of any class or securities  convertible  into shares of Stock
of any class for cash, property,  labor or services,  upon direct sale, upon the
exercise of rights or warrants to  subscribe  therefor,  or upon  conversion  of
shares of  obligations  of the  Company  convertible  into such  shares or other
securities,  and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect and
no  adjustment  by reason  thereof  shall be made with respect to, the number of
shares of Stock subject to this Option or the purchase price per share.

     9. BINDING  EFFECT.  This Agreement  shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under
Employee.

     10.  GOVERNING LAW. This  Agreement  shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  Company  has caused  this  Agreement  to be duly
executed by its officer  thereunto  duly  authorized,  and Employee has executed
this Agreement, all as of the day and year first above written.
