  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1.   PRESENTATION OF STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS:

     In connection with the acquisition of Communicate Direct, Inc. (CDI) on
  October 31, 1994, the Company has reclassified the statement of operations
  for the prior fiscal year to conform to the presentation used in 1995.  In
  addition, the Company originally reported the receipt of $850,000 in December
  1993 as a reduction of a prior year provision for bad debts.  Following a
  review of the accounting treatment for this transaction by the Securities and
  Exchange Commission, it was agreed that it should have been recorded as a
  capital contribution and no income recognized.

  2.   SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     INTANGIBLE ASSETS   Costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired
  incurred in connection with the acquisitions of Utilization Management
  Associates, Inc. (UMA) and CDI are being amortized on a straight-line basis
  over forty years.  Additional costs resulting from the obligation to pay a
  portion of the pretax earnings to the former owners of UMA are being
  amortized over the period from the determination of the amount to the
  expiration of the original forty years.

     NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE   Net income (loss) per share is based on the<PAGE>
  weighted average number of common shares (including common stock subject to
  put options) outstanding during the periods.  During the periods presented,
  the 29,630 shares subject to a put option have been considered outstanding
  until this obligation is resolved (see Note 8).  Common stock equivalents
  were not included in the computation of income (loss) per share since their
  effect was anti-dilutive.  In addition, no effect has been given to the
  pending conversion of the preferred shares to common shares (which was
  approved by the shareholders in April 1995) as this would also be anti-
  dilutive.

  3.   ACQUISITION OF CDI:

     On October 31, 1994, the Company acquired CDI pursuant to a merger of CDI
  into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in accordance with a certain
  Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 28, 1994 (the CDI Merger
  Agreement).  CDI is a Chicago-based company which sells and services
  telephone systems and computer hardware manufactured by others including
  application oriented peripheral products like voice mail, automated attendant
  systems, interactive voice response (IVR) and video conferencing systems. 
  Additionally, CDI develops application software for IVR and computer
  telephone integration applications.  CDI also sells and installs local and
  long distance network services.

     The Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of CDI for a
  consideration initially valued at $5,252,138 consisting of:

     a.   290,858 shares of SoftNet Series A Preferred Stock (Preferred shares)
          valued at $6.00 per share (reflecting a discount from the market price
          of the common shares due to the fact that they are restricted) for a
          total of $1,745,148;

     b.   Series A Notes in the original principal amount of $1,517,990;

     c.   Series B Notes in the original principal amount of $314,000;

     d.   $100,000 in cash; and

     e.   A capital contribution by SoftNet of $1,575,000.

     In April 1995, the Preferred shares were converted into common shares on a
  one-to-one basis following approval by the Company's shareholders (See Part
  II, Item 5).  The Preferred shares issued in connection with this acquisition
  had been redeemable at certain prices on the fifth anniversary of their
  issuance if their conversion into common shares had not been approved by the
  Company's shareholders.  The approval of the Company's shareholders
  eliminated the redeemable feature of the Preferred shares as of April 5,
  1995.

     Additional common shares may be issued to the former CDI shareholders if
  CDI's operations exceed an earnings level, as defined in the CDI Merger
  Agreement, of $1.5 million in each of the three fiscal years ending September
  30, 1995, 1996 and 1997.  In addition, each of the former CDI shareholders
  received an employment contract through September 1997.

     The CDI Merger Agreement granted to SoftNet the right to make certain post-
  closing purchase price adjustments.  In accordance with the CDI Merger
  Agreement, the CDI purchase price was reduced by $1,732,997 by eliminating
  the Series A Notes ($1,517,990) and reducing the amount of the Series B Notes
  from $314,000 to $98,993.  The Series B Notes, bearing interest at the prime<PAGE>
  rate, are due in part on September 30, 1996 ($4,993) and in part on September
  30, 1997 ($94,000).

     The Company's adjusted investment in CDI, at cost, is $3,836,606 consisting
  of the items, as adjusted, outlined above plus professional fees of $317,465.
  The resulting goodwill, amounting to $4,376,613 and recorded as of the
  acquisition date, will be adjusted for any payments required under the
  earnout agreement as these amounts are determined.

     Pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended
  March 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the year ended September 30, 1994 for the
  Company and CDI (as if CDI had been acquired October 1, 1993) are as follows:

  amortization of goodwill and interest expense for that period.  The six month
  1994 pro forma statement adds CDI's results and goodwill amortization and
  interest expense for the six months and the fiscal year 1994 pro forma
  statement adds CDI's results and goodwill amortization and interest expense
  for the full year.  No adjustment was made to the amount of notes outstanding
  which are subject to adjustment based on CDI performance levels nor was any
  adjustment made for the possible issuance of additional shares based on CDI
  performance levels.  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding
  used in computing the above income (loss) per share includes an additional
  290,858 shares to reflect the assumed conversion to common stock of the
  Preferred shares issued in connection with the acquisition.

  4.   BANK LOANS:

     CDI obtained on October 31, 1994, with the Company's assistance and the
  payment of a loan fee of $25,000, a new bank line-of-credit, maturing on
  March 1, 1996, in the amount of $2.5 million.  This loan is collateralized by
  the assets of CDI and the outstanding loan balance is limited to certain
  percentages of CDI's eligible receivables and inventories.  The outstanding
  loan balance at March 31, 1995 of $1.25 million bears interest at 1% above
  the bank's prime rate (9% on March 31, 1995).  Interest is payable monthly
  and the loan is guaranteed by the Company.

     On March 30, 1995, SoftNet borrowed $250,000 from the same bank with the
  note maturing on September 30, 1995.  The loan bears interest at 1% above the
  bank's prime rate with interest payable monthly and the balance of the loan
  at maturity.  The bank note is secured by a lien on SoftNet's assets.

  5.   SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE:

     In October and November 1994, the Company repaid $50,000 of the outstanding
  Senior Notes and issued an additional $25,000 note resulting in an adjusted
  balance of outstanding Senior Notes of $745,000.  The note holder of the
  additional $25,000 note also received a warrant to purchase 2,500 shares of
  the Company's common stock at the then current market price of $6.375 per
  share.  (A) The maturity of $450,000 of notes was extended to March 31, 1995
  at which time the notes were repaid.  The note holders received additional
  warrants expiring in five years to purchase a total of 54,000 shares of the
  Company's common stock at prices ranging from $6.125 to $7.875 (market prices
  at the end of each month during the period the notes were extended).  (B) The
  maturity of $295,000 ($125,000 of which is owned by an affiliate of John
  Jellinek, President of the Company) of notes was extended to October 1, 1995. 
  On April 1, 1995, the notes were exchanged for 9% Convertible Subordinated
  Notes (see Note 6 below).  The note holders received additional warrants
  expiring in five years to purchase a total of 35,400 shares of the Company's
  common stock at prices ranging from $6.125 to $7.875 (market prices at the
  end of each month during the period the notes were extended).  As of April 1,
  1995, all Senior Notes have been repaid.

     Two outstanding warrants previously issued to Senior note holders for 2,500
  shares each exercisable at $3.75 per share were reissued for 5,000 shares
  each exercisable at $1.75 per share to conform to the terms of warrants
  issued to other note holders at that time.  In addition, two additional
  warrants issued to the same Senior note holders contained exercise prices of
  $3.75 per share and were reissued with an exercise price of $1.75 per share. 
  The reissuance of these warrants at prices less than market resulted in
  additional Senior Note discount of $51,875 which was expensed in the quarter
  ended March 31, 1995.

  6.   LONG-TERM DEBT:

     At March 31, 1995, long-term debt consisted of the following:

          10% Convertible Subordinated Notes     $ 1,250,000
          9% Convertible Subordinated Notes        1,055,000
          Series B Notes (see Note 3 above)           98,993
          Accrued interest on Series B Notes 
            due at maturity                            3,653
                                                 $ 2,407,646

     In October and November 1994, the Company issued 10% Convertible
  Subordinated Notes, in the aggregate amount of $1.25 million, due in October
  1999.  Such notes (which bear interest, payable quarterly, at 10% per annum
  for the first two years only and no interest thereafter) are subordinate to
  all other liabilities of the Company and are convertible into the Company's
  common shares at $4.10 per share.  In connection with the issuance of the 10%
  Convertible Subordinated Notes, the Company incurred fees of $55,936 and
  issued warrants to purchase 297,750 shares of its common stock exercisable
  for five years at an exercise price of $6.875 per share.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company issued 9% Convertible
  Subordinated Notes due December 31, 1998 in the aggregate amount of
  $1,055,000.  Interest is payable quarterly on the first of April, July,
  October, January and at maturity.  Such notes are subordinate to all other
  liabilities of the Company and are convertible into the Company's common
  shares at $5 per share.  These notes may be prepaid by the Company in whole
  after April 1, 1996 provided the market price of the Company's common stock
  is at least 200% of the conversion price (presently $5 per share) on any 20
  trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the
  trading date prior to the date of the notice of prepayment.

  7.   COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO PUT OPTIONS:

     In connection with the acquisition of UMA, the former shareholders of UMA
  received 29,630 shares of the Company's common stock together with the right
  to sell such shares back to the Company at $6.75 per share or a total of
  $200,000 during a period commencing on November 14, 1994 and ending January
  27, 1995.  The former shareholders of UMA have exercised their right to sell
  such shares back to the Company but negotiations are continuing as to the
  means of the settlement of this obligation.  Accordingly, as of March 31,
  1995, this obligation has been classified as a current liability in the
  accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

  8.   SALE OF COMMON STOCK:

     On October 26, 1994, the Company sold 200,000 shares of its common stock in
  a Regulation S offering at $4 per share.  In connection with the sale of
  common stock, the Company incurred fees of $90,172 and issued warrants to
  purchase 249,750 shares of its common stock exercisable for five years at an
  exercise price of $6.875 per share.

  9.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION:

     As more fully disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for
  the year ended September 30, 1994, the Company is owed $4,150,000 plus
  accrued interest by Ozite Corporation (Ozite).  Peter Harvey, Chairman of the
  Company, and John Hamm, a Director of the Company, have held and continue to
  hold substantial interests in Ozite.  Due to uncertainties about collecting
  these funds, the receivable, which would be recorded as a capital
  contribution, has not been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial
  statements.  In July 1994, Ozite and Pure Tech International, Inc., among
  others, signed a merger agreement subject to shareholder approval and certain
  other conditions.  This merger agreement has been modified, most recently in
  March 1995, and provides that the obligations of Ozite be performed in all
  material respects as of the merger's effective date.  Subject to final
  approval of all of the parties and certain other conditions imposed by the
  Company, the Company has agreed to accept common and preferred shares of
  Artra Group Incorporated held by Ozite and common shares of Pure Tech Newco,
  Inc. in settlement of the Ozite obligation to the Company.

  10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION:

     During 1994, the Board of Directors revised the compensation arrangements
  of Peter Harvey, Chairman of the Board, John Jellinek, President, and John G.
  Hamm, a Director.  Mr. Harvey's compensation was reduced from $120,000 to
  $60,000 per year effective May 1, 1994, Mr. Jellinek's compensation was set
  at $110,000 per year effective with his taking office on July 1, 1993 and Mr.
  Hamm, a Director of the Company since 1985, was given a one-time compensation
  amount of $150,000 for his substantial prior services to the Company.  These
  individuals have not been receiving this compensation on a regular monthly
  basis and at March 31, 1995, their aggregate unpaid compensation was<PAGE>
  $380,000.  A portion of each individual's compensation, aggregating $195,000
  at March 31, 1995, is to be paid in shares of the Company's common stock or
  10 year warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock.  The
  choice to receive shares or warrants is to be made by each individual on
  specified dates.  Each individual would receive additional shares or warrants
  equal to 10% of the amount originally granted until the shares to be received
  or the shares under warrant are freely tradable.  In addition, at the
  specified dates, each individual may elect to receive any unpaid cash
  compensation in shares or warrants or receive interest on his unpaid
  compensation.

     Mr. Harvey and Mr. Hamm have each elected to receive collectively 24,000
  shares of the Company's common stock for $120,000 of the above mentioned
  compensation and to receive the additional common shares (4,000 shares) due
  them through September 30, 1994.  Further, they elected to receive their
  remaining unpaid compensation as of September 30, 1994 in the form of cash.

     At March 31, 1995, additional compensation relating to the payment of
  compensation in shares or warrants aggregated $46,796 of which $20,000 will
  be paid when the above 4,000 common shares are issued.

  12.  POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS:

     On March 27, 1995, the Company announced that it had entered into an
  agreement to acquire Micrographic Technology Corporation (MTC) and an
  agreement to acquire Kansas Communications, Inc. (KCI).

     MTC is a designer, developer, manufacturer and integrator of comprehensive,
  non-paper based systems and components that enable MTC to deliver to its
  customers cost-effective solutions for the storage, indexing and/or
  distribution of high-volume output data streams.  These systems, which
  include both hardware and software products, are based on an open systems
  architecture providing flexibility to connect to a wide variety of
  information systems.  The hardware manufactured by MTC includes a family of
  computer output microfilm printers.  MTC's software is principally related to
  the capture of data and information from a variety of sources, its
  intelligent indexing and the ultimate output of that information to a variety
  of storage medias including optical disk, magnetic disk and tape, CD-ROM,
  microfilm and microfiche.

     KCI is an information technology company which provides communications
  solutions through the design, implementation, maintenance and integration of
  voice, data and video communications equipment and services.  The equipment,
  which is manufactured by others, includes telephone systems and call
  processing systems (including call centers, voice messaging, interactive
  voice response and computer telephone integration).  Services include
  maintenance contracts for its existing customers, installation of local and
  long distance network services, cabling and data communications.




  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
  POSITION

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS OF FY 1995 COMPARED TO THE SIX
  MONTHS OF FY 1994  

     The substantial increases in sales, cost of sales and selling, general and
  administrative expenses reflect the inclusion of the results of Communicate
  Direct, Inc.'s (CDI) operations from the date of its acquisition by the
  Company on October 31, 1994.  Included in the consolidated results for 1995
  are CDI's sales ($5,342,000), cost of sales ($2,775,000) and selling, general
  and administrative expenses ($2,088,000).  In addition, the results of
  operations of UMA are included for the full quarter in 1994 as compared to
  only the period after UMA's acquisition on November 12, 1993 in the prior
  year.  UMA's sales increased 69% to $487,000 and added an additional $104,000
  to the Company's gross profit.  Amortization of goodwill in 1995 increased
  $47,000 while CDI added $39,000 to depreciation expense.  Corporate expenses
  increased primarily due to additional legal, accounting and public relations
  fees.  Interest expense increased (after deducting the non-cash charges
  relating to Senior Note discount) due to the issuance of Convertible
  Subordinated notes and new bank loans (see Notes 4 and 6 of Notes to
  Consolidated Financial Statements) and the amortization of debt issuance
  costs in 1995.

  MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION FROM SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 TO MARCH 31,
  1995  

     During the six months, the Company's working capital position changed as
  follows:

       Working capital deficit at September 30, 1994        ($1,229,417)
          Working capital deficit acquired in acquisition 
            of CDI                                         (  2,632,498)
          Reclassification of stock put obligation         (    200,000)
          Increase in working capital during the quarter      1,738,179
       Working capital deficit at March 31, 1995            ($2,323,736)

  The increase in working capital during the period was primarily generated by
  the sale of common stock and the issuance of long-term Convertible
  Subordinated notes (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
  Statements), the proceeds of which were used, in part, to repay certain of
  the Company's current liabilities.

     Currently, management is anticipating that any shortfall in its cash flow
  from operations will be provided for by additional borrowings.  In addition,
  cash flow may be enhanced by acquisitions and additional sales of the
  Company's common stock.  No assurances can be made that these sources of
  funds will be available or sufficient.

  _______________________

  It is suggested that this report be read in conjunction with the financial
  statements and footnotes appearing in the September 30, 1994 Form 10-KSB
  which has been previously filed with the Commission.

  The information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal
  recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
  a fair statement of the results for the interim period.



  PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

  (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option to acquire
  up to 412,500 additional shares from IMNET solely to cover over-allotments),
  to the public at an estimated price of from $10 to $12 per share.  Based on
  the outstanding capital stock of IMNET at March 31, 1995, and after
  adjustment for (i) a 1.88-for-1 stock split to be effected on May 19, 1995,
  (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of all
  outstanding shares of IMNET's Series I and II Convertible Preferred Stock and
  Series A Preferred Stock including accrued dividends at an assumed public
  offering price of $11 per share of IMNET Common Stock immediately prior to
  completion of the offering, and (iii) the exercise of outstanding warrants to
  acquire 39,168 shares Common Stock immediately prior to completion of the
  offering, SoftNet will own 385,588 shares of Common Stock of IMNET.  After
  such adjustment, and assuming (i) no exercise of the underwriters' over-
  allotment option, and (ii) an initial public offering price of $11 per share,
  the shares of capital stock of IMNET owned by SoftNet would represent
  approximately 5.1% of the outstanding shares of IMNET after the offering,
  based on the outstanding capital stock of IMNET at March 31, 1995.

     THIS COMMUNICATION IS NEITHER AN OFFER TO SELL NOR A SOLICITATION OF AN
  OFFER TO BUY ANY SECURITIES OF IMNET.

  SIGNING OF LEASES

     Communicate Direct Inc. (CDI) recently signed a lease for approximately
  24,777 square feet of lease space in Buffalo Grove, Illinois for an initial
  term of five years.  CDI intends to relocate its principal office from
  Chicago, Illinois to the new lease space in Buffalo Grove, Illinois on or
  about June 26, 1995.  Philip Kenny, a Director of the Company, indirectly
  owns 4.7% of the owner of such real property leased by CDI.

  CONVERSION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK AND 10% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

     At the SoftNet Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 5, 1995, the
  shareholders approved a proposal to convert the 290,858 outstanding shares of
  Series A Preferred Stock of SoftNet into 290,858 shares of SoftNet Common
  Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock was held by the shareholders of the
  former Communicate Direct, Inc.  On October 31, 1994, Communicate Direct,
  Inc. was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of SoftNet pursuant to an
  Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 28, 1994 (CDI Plan). 
  Pursuant to the CDI Plan, the shareholders of the former Communicate Direct,
  Inc. received 290,858 shares of SoftNet's newly created Series A Preferred
  Stock, $ .10 par value, and the right to receive additional shares of Series
  A Preferred Stock based on an earnout arrangement for the three years ended
  September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997.  The term of the Series A Preferred Stock
  provided that upon approval of SoftNet's shareholders (which was required by
  the rules of the AMEX due to the number of shares of common stock to be
  issued) all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued or to be issued pursuant
  to the CDI Plan would be converted in shares of SoftNet Common Stock.

     Upon approval of this prop[osal, the Series A Preferred Stock was converted
  into 290,858 shares of SoftNet Common Stock and the right to receive shares
  of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the earnout arrangement was converted
  into the right to receive shares of SoftNet Common Stock.  There are no more
  shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

     The SoftNet shareholders also approved a proposal to allow conversion of
  the $1,250,000 in principal amount of 10% Convertible Subordinated Notes of
  SoftNet (the "10% Notes") into SoftNet Common Stock.  The terms of the 10%
  Notes state that the 10% Notes would be convertible into SoftNet Common Stock
  at $4.10 per share upon approval of the SoftNet shareholders.  If the holders
  of the 10% Notes choose to convert the entire principal amount of the 10%
  Notes, 304,878 shares of SoftNet Common Stock would be issued.
