("Penagen") and I-NEA S.A. ("I-NEA") were acquired in fiscal 1999. On July 28,
1999, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the SIL ("SIL") group of
companies. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting and on a consolidated basis in the Company's financial statements
for periods ending after the effective date of such acquisitions. As used
herein, references to a "fiscal year" refer to January 31 of such year. For
example, fiscal 1999 refers to the year ended January 31, 1999.

         Because of the effect upon the Company's results of operations for the
year ended January 31, 1999 of acquisitions made during that period, direct
comparison of the Company's results of operations for the periods ended July 31,
1998 and July 31, 1999 will not, in the view of management of the Company, prove
meaningful. Instead, a summary of the elements which management of the Company
believes essential to an analysis of the results of operations for such periods
is presented below.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31,
1998


REVENUES

an increase of $30.9 million, or approximately 112.8% compared to $27.4 million
for the three months ended July 31, 1998. This growth arose principally from the
acquisitions of Decision Systems, Memorex, Penagen and I-NEA and from organic
growth of the services business. Revenues from services were $39.2 million, or
67.2% of the total revenue, with revenues from the supply of products at $19.2
million, or 32.8% of the total revenues. In the comparable period of the prior
year, Service revenues were 60.8% of the total revenues and Products revenues
were 39.2% of total revenues.

         Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 1999 was $23.1
million, an increase of $12.3 million, or 113.9% compared to $10.8 million for
the three months ended July 31, 1998. This growth arose principally from the
acquisitions of Decision Systems, Memorex, Penagen and I-NEA and from organic
growth of the services business. Gross margin increased from 39.5% for the three
months ended July 31, 1998 to 39.6% for the three months ended July 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         From inception until June 1996, the Company's sources of capital had
been cash flows from operations, private placements of securities, primarily
from its controlling stockholders and related parties, and borrowings from
banks. On June 19, 1996, the Company completed a public offering (the
"Offering") of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of
$5.75 per share. On July 2, 1998, the Company completed a secondary public
offering through a further sale of 2.9 million shares of Common Stock. As a
result of this offering, the Company raised net proceeds of $31.0 million.

         As of July 31, 1999, the Company had lines of credit with UK, French,
Italian and Belgian banks in the aggregate amount of L15 million ($24 million).
As of July 31, 1999 $6.8 million was outstanding.

         The outstanding credit facilities are secured by the assets of the
Company and are periodically reviewed by the issuing institution. Management
expects to be able to maintain these credit arrangements for the foreseeable
future, although no assurance can be given.

         The Company maintains a facility with a UK factoring company, pursuant
to which it borrows against eligible trade receivables. The Company pays the
factoring company an administrative fee of 0.075% of eligible trade receivables
and interest of 9% per annum. At July 31, 1999, $5.9 million under this
agreement was outstanding.

         Outstanding advances from stockholders are shown on the Company's
balance sheet as stockholder advances. Outstanding advances as of July 31, 1999
were $23,000. These outstanding advances do not bear interest, and are payable
on demand.

         The Company's working capital increased from $22.8 million surplus at
January 31, 1999 to a surplus of $24.3 million at July 31, 1999.

         Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended
July 31, 1999 was $0.2 million, which reflected the net effect of an increase in
net accounts payable, accounts receivable, and inventories and a decrease in
deferred revenues. Net cash used by investing activities was $5.1 million, for
the three months ended July 31, 1999, primarily reflecting cash used for the
purchase of equipment and the acquisition of SIL. Net cash provided by financing
activities was $2.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 1999, resulting
primarily from increase of bank lines of credit and payments of outstanding
obligations and the receipts from stock options which were exercised during the
period.

         The Company believes that the net cash flows from operations and
borrowing availability under its credit facilities, will satisfy the Company's
anticipated working capital requirements through at least the next twelve
months. To the extent the Company raises additional capital by issuing equity or
convertible debt securities, ownership dilution to the Company's stockholders
will result. In the event that adequate funds are not available, the Company's
business may be adversely affected.

INFLATION

         Inflation has not had a material effect upon the Company's results of
operations to date. In the event the rate of inflation should accelerate in the
future, it is expected that costs in connection with the provision by the
Company of its services and products will increase, and, to the extent such
increased costs are not offset by increased revenues, the operations of the
Company may be adversely affected.
