              MEDIWARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., & SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.          FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS:
            ---------------------

     In  the  opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, consolidated,
condensed  financial  statements  contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and
cash  flows for the interim periods presented.  Such financial statements have
been condensed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and therefore, do not include all disclosures required
by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.    These financial statements
should  be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 1997 included in the Company's annual report filed
on  Form  10-KSB.

     The  results  of  operations  for  the  three months and six months ended
December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for  the  entire  fiscal  year.

2.          EARNINGS  PER  SHARE:
            --------------------

     The  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of  the  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" in the preparation
of  the  financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10QSB.
In  accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, the Company is required to
report both "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share and to restate previously
reported  earnings per share amounts to conform to the provisions of SFAS 128.
Basic  earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average number
of shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") outstanding for each
period presented.  The dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock
equivalents is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using
the  treasury  stock  method.  For the periods presented, the diluted earnings
per  share  amounts  are the same as the earnings per share amounts previously
reported  by  the  Company.

3.  SERVICE  MAINTENANCE  POLICY
    ----------------------------

     During  the  December  31,  1997  quarter, the Company changed its policy
regarding  Pharmakon  service  maintenance  billings under maintenance service
agreements.    The  policy  change,  which resulted in the increase of service
revenues  from  the same quarter last year, is expected to result in increased
revenues in the future.  This policy change resulted in invoicing to customers
for  amounts  previously  unbilled  under terms of the maintenance contracts.

4.          INCOME  TAXES:
            -------------

     The  tax expense is minimal due to the carry forward benefit from the net
operating  loss.

ITEM  2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS.

Forward-Looking  Statements:

     Certain  statements  made  in  this  Report  are or imply forward-looking
statements.    Such  forward  looking  statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  expressed  or  implied  in  the
forward-looking  statements.    These risks and uncertainties are expressed in
the  Risk  Factors  discussed  in  the Prospectus included in the Registration
Statement  on  Form  SB-2,  File  No.  333-18277,  especially  those under the
headings  "Working Capital Deficiency; Restrictive Covenants," "Variability of
Operating  Results,"  "Hospital  Purchase  Procedures,"  "Acquisition,"
"Competition,"  "Technological  Obsolescence;  Marketing and Acceptance of New
Products,"  "Product  Protection"  and  "Government  Regulation."

Results  of  Operations:

     Total  Company  revenues increased by 8.0% or $720,000 for the first half
of  fiscal  1998  as  compared  to  the first six months of fiscal 1997.  This
increase  is  principally  due to service revenue increases from the Company's
Hemocare  and  Pharmacy divisions.  Company revenue for the three month period
ending  December  31,  1997  increased by 4.6% or $216,000 from the comparable
period  a  year  earlier.

     System  sales  decreased by 10.0% or $340,000 for the first six months of
fiscal 1998 as compared to the six month period ended December 31, 1996.  This
decrease primarily is due to the Company's JAC and Hemocare divisions.  System
sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 decreased $385,000 or 24.3% from
the  same  quarter in fiscal 1997.  This decrease is primarily due to the same
divisions  as  noted  in  the  six  month  comparison.

     Service  revenues increased by $1,060,000 or 18.8% from $5,630,000 in the
first  half  of  fiscal  1997  to $6,690,000 in the first six months of fiscal
1998.  This increase is principally due to the Company's Hemocare and Pharmacy
division.  Service revenues increased by $601,000 or 19.5% for the three month
period ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the same period a year ago.  The
December  31,  1997  quarter  increase is due to a change in Pharmakon service
maintenance  policy  as to billings under maintenance service agreements.  The
policy change, which is expected to result in increased revenue in the future,
resulted  in  invoicing to customers for amounts previously unbilled under the
terms of the maintenance contracts.  In the opinion of management, the reserve
for  the  accounts  receivable  due  to  said  billing,  is  adequate.

     Cost  of  systems decreased $57,000 or 5.2% from $1,088,000 for the first
half  of  fiscal 1997 to $1,031,000 for the first two quarters of fiscal 1998.
As  a  percentage  of system sales, cost of systems increased 1.7% from 32% to
33.7%  comparing  the  first  half of fiscal 1997 to the same period in fiscal
1998.    Cost  of  systems  increased  $53,000  or 16.9% from $313,000 for the
quarter  ended  December  31,  1997  to $366,000 for the same period in fiscal
1998.    For both periods compared, the change in cost of systems is primarily
due  to  the  period sales mix between computer hardware, sublicensed software
and  company  licensed  software.

     Cost  of services decreased $130,000 or 8.1% from $1,608,000 in the first
half  of fiscal 1997 to $1,478,000 for the same period in fiscal 1998. For the
three  month  period  ended  December  31, 1997, cost of services decreased by
$103,000  or  12.3% from the same period in the prior year.  For both periods,
the  change in cost of service is primarily due to technical employee activity
change  to  increased  software  development  and product training from direct
service  support.

     Software  development  costs increased $46,000 or 4.0% from $1,136,000 in
the six month period ended December 31, 1996 to $1,182,000 for the same period
ended  December  31,  1997.    Software development costs increased $67,000 or
12.6%  the  quarter ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the same quarter in
fiscal  1997.    Capitalized software additions were $545,000 and $320,000 for
the first six months of fiscal 1997 and 1998.  The higher level of fiscal 1998
spending  includes  approximately  $150,000  in  outside  contracted  software
development  activity principally expended on the Company's WORx product line.


     Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased $609,000 or 16.1%
from $3,780,000 to $4,389,000 in comparing the first halves of fiscal 1997 and
1998.  For the three month period ended December 31, 1997 selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $120,000 or 5.5% from the same period in the
prior  year.    The  fiscal  1998 increases for both compared periods reflects
higher  communications,  travel,  bonus,  professional  fees, and other direct
administrative  expense.    Additionally,  the  Company expensed in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 approximately $167,000 in litigation settlement payment
accruing  to  claims  against the Company made by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The  Company  along with the other named party in the suit have reserved their
rights  to  pursue indemnification from each other.  Legal fees related to the
claim  have  been  expensed  as  incurred.

     Net  interest  expense decreased by $139,000 from $308,000 to $169,000 in
the  first  six months of fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period in fiscal
1998.    Net interest expense decreased $116,000 or 66.7% in the quarter ended
December  31, 1997 as compared to the same quarter a year ago.  This change in
fiscal  1998  from  fiscal  1997  is due to the reduction of notes payable and
higher  cash  balances  (see  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources).

     Net  earnings increased by $345,000 or 32.2% from $1,071,000 in the first
six  months  of  fiscal  1997 to $1,416,000 for the first half of fiscal 1998.
Net  earnings  increased  by  168,000 or 27% in the quarter ended December 31,
1997  as  compared  to  the  prior  years.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES:

     The  Company's cash and cash equivalent position as December 31, 1997 was
$3,314,000  an  increase  of  $1,379,000 from $1,935,000 at June 30, 1997.  At
December  31,  1997 the current ratio was 1.1 to 1.  In addition to $1,416,000
in  cash  provided  by  operations,  the  current working capital position was
improved  by  an  August  1997  private  placement  providing  approximately
$2,100,000,  net  of  expenses.

     In  this  August, 1997 private placement, the Company sold 400,000 shares
of its Common Stock for $6.00 per share and issued warrants to purchase 40,000
shares of Common Stock at $6.00 per share (as part of its placement fee).  The
Company  has  registered  the  shares  sold and warrants issued in the private
placement  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.

     During  the  first half of fiscal 1998, the Company paid down $325,000 in
principle  on  its  promissory  notes held by private investors.  The $854,000
December  31, 1997 balance on these promissory notes are held by two directors
and another person.  Effective September 15, 1997 these remaining note holders
agreed  to  reduce  the  interest  on  this  unpaid  amount  from  12%  to 9%.
Additionally,  the  Company  amended  its  promissory note held by Continental
Healthcare  Systems,  Inc.  ("Continental")  in  July,  1997.   This amendment
included a $437,000 reduction in note principle through the application of the
amount  owing  from  Continental  to the Company for completed services.  This
application  is  in  accordance  with  the Company's service contract covering
collection  of  Continental  accounts  receivables along with other activities
related to fulfilling post-acquisition Continental obligations.  The principle
balance on the Continental promissory note at December 31, 1997 was $4,046,000
which  is  due  on  a  quarterly  basis  commencing  October 31, 1997 with the
remaining  balance  due  November  30,  1998 or earlier based upon a change in
control  or refinancing by the Company.  The Company will review the financing
needs  of  this  promissory  note  and general cash requirements on an ongoing
basis.    It  is expected that the company will required additional sources of
liquidity  to  fund  the  payment  of  this  promissory  note along with other
financing  needs  including  potential  acquisitions.
