STOCK OPTIONS

     The following  table sets forth certain  information  with respect to stock
options granted to the named  executives  during the fiscal year ended March 31,
1996.  Further,  in accordance  with Securities and Exchange  Commission  rules,
hypothetical gains on the respective options are shown. These gains assume rates
of annual  compounded  stock price  appreciation of five percent and ten percent
over the full option  term.  The  hypothetical  gains to the  optionees  are not
possible  without an increase  in the market  value of the  registrant's  Common
Stock,  which  will  likewise  benefit  all  stockholders  proportionately.   In
assessing  these  hypothetical  gains,  it is important  to  emphasize  that the
ultimate  value  of  the  options  will  depend  on  the  market  value  of  the
registrant's Common Stock at a future date.

(4)      The number stated includes 200 shares owned by Mr. Stanton's spouse.

(5)      The  number  stated  includes  112  shares  owned  by  Mr.  Cullimore's
         immediate  family and 40,009 shares  subject to a security  interest as

     As reported  in the  registrant's  Current  Report of Form 8-K dated May 1,
1996,  on April 28, 1996 the  registrant  entered into an Agreement  and Plan of
Merger  providing for the merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC") with and into the registrant,  pursuant to
which the  registrant  will  become a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of CSC and each
outstanding  share of common stock of the registrant will be converted into 0.79
of a  share of common stock of CSC.  The registrant  anticipates that the Merger
will be effected on or about August 1, 1996, provided the requisite  stockholder
approvals  are obtained and all other  conditions to the Merger are satisfied or
waived. Upon consummation of the Merger, the directors of the registrant will be
replaced by nominees of CSC.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

     Mr. Cullimore,  Executive Vice President of the registrant, was indebted to
the  registrant  in an aggregate  amount of  approximately  $576,014  during the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. The indebtedness represents non-recourse loans
made by Paxus  Corporation  Limited,  an entity  acquired by the  registrant  in
August 1993, to Mr. Cullimore to fund the purchase of Paxus Corporation  Limited
ordinary  shares  under Paxus  Corporation  Limited's  Employee  Share Plan.  No
interest  accrues  on the  loans  and they have no  stated  maturity  date.  Mr.
Cullimore's loans are currently secured by 40,009 shares of Common Stock held in
the name of Mr. Cullimore.

CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

     Each of the named  executives has received  grants of options or restricted
stock  awards.  These  restricted  stock awards and options  contain  provisions
relating to a possible change in control of the registrant.

     Each  restricted  stock award granted to a named executive on or before May
1, 1995, has included a vesting period whereby a portion of the restricted stock
vests over a five-year  period.  However,  all of the  restricted  stock  awards
immediately  vest  in  the  event  the  holder's   employment  is  involuntarily
terminated after the occurrence of a change in control.

     The option awards  granted to the named  executives  also contain change in
control provisions. Such provisions provide that the options shall automatically
vest in the event the option  holder's  employment  is  terminated  (as  defined
therein), other than for cause, after a change in control of the registrant.

     For purposes of the restricted stock awards, as well as for purposes of the
option awards granted to the named executives during the fiscal year ended March
31,  1996,  a change in control is defined as having  taken place when any third
party purchases or otherwise acquires  beneficial  ownership of more than thirty
percent  of the  Common  Stock,  or,  as a result  of a  contested  election  of
directors,  a majority of the Board of Directors of the  registrant  before such
election cease to be members of the Board of Directors.  However, in the case of
the option  grants  during the last fiscal  year,  the  required  percentage  of
beneficial  ownership to constitute a change in control is thirty-two percent in
the  event  the acquiror is DST  Systems, Inc.  Consummation  of the Merger will
result in a change in control.
