Note 3Spescom Transaction and Related Parties

In May 1999, the Company completed a transaction with Spescom Ltd. ("Spescom"), whereby Spescom acquired a 60% ownership interest in the
Company's former United Kingdom subsidiary, Altris Software Ltd. ("ASL"). In April 2000, the Company sold its remaining 40% ownership in ASL to Spescom. For the three
months ended December 31, 2000 the Company recognized a gain of $125,000, which it had previously deferred relating to potential warranty claims arising from the sale of ASL.

In
the first quarter of 2001, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Spescom Ltd. U.K. (formerly ASL) along with Spescom Ltd. U.K.'s document management
business. Spescom UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Spescom which became the majority shareholder in the Company in April 2000. This business is now operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Spescom KMS. Prior to the acquisition, Spescom KMS had been the Company's exclusive distributor of the Company's eB product suite outside North, Latin and South America. In exchange for the assets and
the assumption of certain liabilities, the Company issued 550,000 shares of its common stock to Spescom. The net liabilities assumed of $235,000 were recorded as a charge against common stock.

In
November 2000 Spescom purchased $530,000 worth of software from the Company. Under a royalty arrangement, Spescom also resells certain of the Company's software. For the
three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company recognized royalty revenue of $8,000 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had a liability to
Spescom of $107,000 and $50,000, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 the Company purchased consulting services from Spescom totaling $46,000 and $0,
respectively.

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated
results, including those set forth under "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" below and elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this report.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2000 were $2,901,000 as compared to $1,656,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999.

For
the three months ended December 31, 2000 revenues consisted of $1,381,000 (48%) in software licenses and $1,520,000 (52%) related to services and other revenue. This
compares to software license revenues of $413,000 (25%) and services and other revenue of $1,243,000 (75%) for the three months ended December 31, 1999.

Software
license revenues increased $968,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2000 over the three months ended December 31, 1999. The increase is due
primarily to additional new sales of the Altris eB product by its United Kingdom wholly owned subsidiary, Spescom KMS Ltd., which was acquired by the Company in the quarter ended
December 31, 2000 and whose results have been consolidated with the Company from October 1, 2000.

Revenues
generated from services increased $277,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2000 over the three month period ended December 31, 1999. The increase
is attributed to the additional fees being generated by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Spescom KMS.

A
small number of customers have typically accounted for a large percentage of the Company's annual revenue. One customer accounted for 18% of total revenue for the three months ended
December 31, 2000. One consequence of this dependence has been that revenue can fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. The Company's reliance on relatively few customers could have a
material adverse effect on the results of its operations on a quarterly basis. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company's revenues has historically been derived from the sale of systems to
new customer.

Cost of Revenues

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 58% and 42% for the three month period ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Gross profit consists
of gross profit from licenses and gross profit from services and other. The increase in gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2000 from the three months ended December 31,
1999 was due to the increased gross profit from licenses.

Cost
of license revenues consists of costs associated with reselling third-party software products and amortization of internal software development costs. Gross profit from license
revenues as a percentage of license revenues was 76% and 29% for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase from 29% to 76% is the result of expanded sales of
eB software. Additionally, eB sales were a greater percentage of license revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2000 than in the three months ended December 31, 1999, when third
party software

sales accounted for a larger proportion of sales. The largest expense in the cost of license revenue is the fixed cost of software amortization, which results in improved gross profit margin as the
volume of eB sales increases.

Cost
of services and other revenues consists primarily of personnel-related costs in providing consulting services, training to customers and support. It also includes costs
associated with reselling third-party hardware and maintenance. Gross profit from services and other revenue as a percentage of services and other revenue was 42% and 46% for the three months ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in the gross profit margin from services and other revenue was due principally to the additional expenses from the Spescom KMS subsidiary.
These additional expenses consisted of personnel costs associated with consulting services and support.

The
Company's software and services are sold at a significantly higher margin than third party products which are resold at a lower gross profit percentage in order for the Company to
remain competitive in the marketplace for such third party products. Gross profit percentages can fluctuate quarterly based on the revenue mix of Company software, services and third party software or
hardware.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2000 was $486,000 as compared to $516,000 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1999. The decrease in research and development for the three months ended December 31, 2000 was due primarily to a reduction in the number of development personnel and
associated costs combined with lower expenditures for third party development consultants.

Marketing
and sales expense for the three months ended December 31, 2000 was $864,000 as compared to $313,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999. The increase
is due to the additional expenses from the consolidating of the results of Spescom KMS. Additionally, expense increased due to additional personnel and associated costs, which relate to the
increasing sales and marketing effort by the Company.

General
and administrative expense was $342,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $413,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1999.
The decrease was primarily due to the reversal of a reserve the Company had established for a customer dispute.

The
gain on the sale of an interest in a subsidiary was $125,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $75,000 for the same period ended
December 31, 1999. The increase is primarily due to the recognition of a deferred gain, which originated from the sale of an interest in a subsidiary of the Company in the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. See Note 3 of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest
and other income was $14,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $12,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1999. The
increase is primarily due to additional interest earned from investments.

Interest
and other expense was $2,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $149,000 for the three ended December 31, 1999. The decrease was due to
a lower debt balance as a
result of the conversion of the Company's subordinated debt into common stock and pay-off of its banking facilities as part of the investment in the Company by Spescom Ltd. in
April 2000. See Note 3 of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,721,000 as compared to $1,808,000 at September 30, 2000, and its current
ratio was .6 to 1. For the quarter ended December 31, 2000, cash used in operating and investing activities totaled $90,000, while cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,000.

Management
believes that the Company's current cash level, as well as additional cash that may be generated from its results of operations, will be sufficient to meet its
short-term needs for working capital. The Company's future liquidity will depend to a material degree on its ability to generate new system sales of Altris eB in the near term, which
cannot be assured.

Net Operating Loss Tax Carryforwards

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") for federal and state income tax purposes of
$21,504,000 and $5,777,000, respectively, which expires over the years 2001 through 2020. In addition, the Company generated but has not used research and investment tax credits for federal income tax
purposes of approximately $1,150,000, which will substantially expire in the years 2001 through 2006. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company generally would be
entitled to reduce its future Federal income tax liabilities by carrying unused NOL forward for a period of 15 years to offset future taxable income earned, and by carrying unused tax credits
forward for a period of 15 years to offset future income taxes.

In
connection with the acquisition of Optigraphics in 1993, the Company acquired Optigraphics' net operating losses, which are limited to offset against that entity's future taxable
income, subject to annual limitations.

As
a result of the issuances of shares of capital stock of the Company to Spescom Ltd. in the past, an additional ownership change occurred in April 2000. The Company's
ability to utilize the consolidated NOL in future years will be limited under the Code due to this ownership change. The annual limitation is approximately $1,293,000.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Foreign Currency

The Company's geographic markets are primarily in the United States and Europe, with sales in other parts of the world. In the three months ended
December 31, 2000, revenue from the United States, Europe and other locations in the world were 47%, 33% and 21%, respectively. This compares to 94%, 5% and 1%, respectively for the same period
in 1999. The European currencies have been relatively stable against the U.S. dollar for the past several years. As a result, foreign currency fluctuations have not had a significant impact on the
Company's revenues or results of operations. Changes in foreign currency rates, the condition of local economies, and the general volatility of software markets may result in higher or lower
proportion of foreign revenues in the future. Although the Company's operating and pricing strategies take into account changes in exchange rates over time, there can be no assurance that future
fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

Inflation

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations to date. Although the Company enters into fixed-price contracts, management
does not believe that inflation will have a material impact on its operations for the foreseeable future, as the Company takes into account expected inflation in its contract proposals and is
generally able to project its costs based on forecasted contract requirements.
