                   NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JANUARY 31, 1996


NOTE A - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed balance sheet as of January 31, 1996, the condensed 
statements of earnings for the nine month  and three month periods ended 
January 31, 1996 and 1995, and the condensed statements of cash flows 
for the nine month periods ended January 31, 1996 have been prepared by 
the Company without audit.  These financial statements reflect all 
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair 
statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  All 
adjustments made during the quarter ended January 31, 1996 are of a 
normal recurring nature.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been omitted.  It is suggested that these 
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on 
Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1995.  The results of operations 
for the period ended January 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of 
the operating results for the full year.

NOTE B - RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to be 
consistent with the classifications being used in the current period.

NOTE C - ACQUISITION

On July 31, 1995, the Company acquired CimSoft Incorporated at a net 
cost of $350,000.  CimSoft had offices in Michigan and California.  It 
was the exclusive distributor for all of Cimage Enterprises Systems, 
Limited (CESL) products in North America.  These products are sold under 
the trade name "Cimage" in markets similar to those the Company has 
served for many years.

The Company expects to expand its ability to serve its existing markets 
through new product offerings, broader sales and distribution coverage, 
and continued growth in its customer service programs.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The Company has two primary lines of business.  Over the years the 
Company has built a substantial, continuing  maintenance business.  This 
business services, on a nationwide basis, hardware and, on a national 
and international basis, software for the Company's installed base of 
customers and third parties.  The company is also a leader in the 
Technical Document Management Systems (TDMS) software business.  In this 
line of business, the Company markets both it's proprietary software and 
resells as a value added re-seller software developed by other 
companies. The TDMS software that the company markets, enhances the 
quality of its customers' products and service by providing world class 
solutions for their technical process.  TDMS has the potential for 
substantial growth in revenue and profits in that it serves a large, 
worldwide market opportunity.

Fiscal year 1996 third quarter revenue of $2.6 million was up $1,181,500 
(84%) compared with the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  As a result of 
the Service/Manufacturing  revenue of $1.3 million increased $28,700 
(2%) compared with the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  TDMS revenue of 
$1.3 million increased $1,152,700 (701%) compared with the third quarter 
of fiscal 1995.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company 
acquired  CimSoft Incorporated. This increase resulted from the 
Company's acquisition described below.  This acquisition the Company 
obtained the sole distribution rights in North America for Cimage 
software. The Company recorded revenue includes $1,181,500 in Cimage 
software, hardware and professional services and $397,600 for Cimage 
Software support in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  The Service 
revenue for Micrographic equipment continues to decline.  This decline 
in revenue is the result of the declining population of the System M 
previously manufactured by the Company.  The Company anticipates a 
decrease in System M Service revenue over the next few years.  In the 
current year the sales force has concentrated on the Cimage product line 
with the result that there has been a dramatic growth in the Cimage 
product line for bookings and revenue and a decline in the Company's 
unix and AS/400 product line bookings and revenue.  The Company 
continues to be optimistic about the AS/400 product line and expects a 
substantial growth in the coming years.

Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 of $6.0 million 
increased 34% from the nine months ended January 31, 1995.  TDMS revenue 
of  $2.5 million was 165% higher than the same period last fiscal year.  
This increase was due to the recognition of revenue for Cimage products 
representing $1,799,000 of revenue. Service revenue of $3.6 million was 
essentially unchanged from the prior year.

The Company's current backlog of orders is $3.5 million compared to $3.4 
million at January 31, 1995.  Current TDMS backlog of $1.3 million  is 
4% higher than that at the same date last year. The increase is due to 
$800,100 of Cimage backlog of orders at the end of the third quarter of 
fiscal 1996.   Service backlog  of $2.2 million was 3% higher at January 
31, 1996, compared  with January 31, 1995. The increase occurred in the 
Cimage Software Maintenance bookings, which totaled $486,500 in backlog 
at January 31, 1996.  This Service backlog is expected to be delivered 
within the next twelve months.

Cost of sales for the third quarter and nine months ended January 31, 
1996, of 51% and 54%, respectively were within 5% and 6%, respectively, 
of those for the comparable periods in fiscal 1995.  The Company is 
required to pay royalties on the Cimage Product line which reduced the 
gross margin for service and software. 

Selling and administrative expenses of  $722,300 for the third quarter 
of fiscal 1996 were $383,000 (113%) higher than the third quarter of 
fiscal 1995.  Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months 
ended January 1996 of $1,638,100 were 39% higher than the same period 
last fiscal year.  Selling and administrative expenses increased due to 
the acquisition of CimSoft.  The increase in sales operations is 
primarily due to the hiring of additional sales and technical support 
personnel. The Company will continue to grow the sales operation to take 
advantage of the sales opportunities of the Cimage product line. 

<PAGE>

Engineering, research and development expenses are incurred for 
maintaining, upgrading and developing new products.  The third quarter 
expense for engineering, research and development of $181,000 increased 
$22,700 from the third quarter of last fiscal year. This increase in 
development expense was primarily due to installation and support 
personnel applying time to internal projects rather than customer funded 
work. 

Interest income for the third quarter and nine months ended January 31, 
1996, was $12,600 and $39,700, respectively, compared with $1,000 and 
$1,200, respectively for fiscal 1995.  Interest income for fiscal 1996 
was primarily the interest received on cash being invested in short term 
investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company increased its 
cash balance by $369,300 leaving $1,252,800 in cash.  The Company 
provided $709,600 in cash from operations and the Company used $139,700 
for capital purchases, $68,600 for the investment of CimSoft and $52,400 
for payments on capital leases.

Inventory has decreased $197,700 since April 30, 1995.  This decrease is 
due to work in process inventory on TDMS projects being delivered in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1996.

Accounts Receivable, Other Accrued Liabilities, Accounts Payable and 
Accrued Salaries, Wages and Commissions increased $1,318,200, $685,100, 
$53,300 and $173,300 respectively between April 30, 1995, and the end of 
January 1996. The major contributor to this fluctuation is the revenue 
from CimSoft customers for the Cimage product line, and the royalties 
due Cimage on these orders. 

On large customer orders there are provisions for progress payments to 
be made by customers based on predetermined events.  These advances 
decreased approximately  $110,800 since April 30, 1995.  

Working capital on January 31, 1996, was approximately $2,562,900, which 
is $828,100 higher than the April 30, 1995 level.  This primarily was 
the result of the increase in cash, accounts receivable and prepaid 
expenses.
