ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

(a)      GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

         INTRODUCTION

         Eltrax Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Eltrax") is an international
provider of information technology services supporting internet and private
network E-commerce applications. Eltrax designs and installs networking systems
for corporate and government customers. The Company also provides monitoring,
management, and maintenance services to support enterprise networks. Eltrax has
acquired several independent companies which now comprise Eltrax's national
network of regional operations. In addition, the Company's Encore subsidiary
provides software and related technology services to the hospitality industry.

         The Company headquarters is located at 2000 Town Center, Suite 690,
Southfield, MI 48075 and its telephone number is (248) 358-1699. The Company
maintains a worldwide web address at www.eltrax.com.

         HISTORY

         The Company completed its initial public offering on December 8, 1992.
At that time, the Company was engaged in two businesses: 1) the distribution of
high density magnetic stripe plastic cards to store information used in
patient admissions to health care facilities (the "Health Card Business"); and
2) a digital image archiving business, specializing in digitizing and archiving
X-ray film and other medical information images (the "Imaging Business"). During
the fiscal years ended March 31, 1994 and 1995, the Company incurred aggregate
net losses of approximately $2.3 million, due primarily to expenditures on
infrastructure, sales and marketing, and research and development, which far
exceeded the Company's revenues.

         During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, several significant
changes took place at the Company; the Company received additional equity
through a private placement of stock and warrants in June 1995; the Company
installed a new management team in August 1995 to formulate a plan and strategy
to enter the data communications business; and the Company sold the Imaging
Business assets and business. During the nine month transition period ended
December 31, 1996, several additional significant changes took place at the
Company; the Company acquired its first two data communication companies; the
Company sold the Health Card Business assets, thereby discontinuing all of its
pre-1996 business operations; and the Company changed its fiscal year-end to a
calendar year. During 1997, the Company made five additional acquisitions
expanding the Company's geographic coverage and adding new service offerings in
the data communications business. In 1998 the Company acquired Encore Systems,
Inc. Global Systems and Support, Inc. and Five Star Systems, Inc. (collectively
the "Encore Group") The Encore Group provides software and technology services
to the hospitality industry.

         During 1997, the Company began focusing its efforts on its end user
network systems business, as well as the Company's entry into the network
monitoring and management business. As a consequence, the Company decided to
consolidate certain offices and to close other offices which specialized in the
lower margin distribution of products to reseller customers. This decision was
being implemented during the first quarter of 1998 and is reflected in the
write-down of certain intangible assets in 1997 and significantly reduced 1998
sales from those activities.

         During late 1997, the Company began construction of its Network
Operating Center ("Center"), located in Reading, Pennsylvania. The Center became
operational in early 1998 and provides nationwide remote monitoring and
management services for enterprise wide networks.



                                       2
<PAGE>


         MERGER WITH SULCUS HOSPITALITY TECHNOLOGIES CORP.

         In November 1998 the Company announced it had reached an agreement to
merge with Sulcus Hospitality Technologies Corp. ("Sulcus"). The shareholders of
both companies approved the merger in March 1999 and the merger became effective
on March 25, 1999. Sulcus provides a range of software products, Squirrel
point-of-sale systems, energy management systems and related services, primarily
to the hospitality and restaurant markets. Sulcus distributes its products and
services throughout the world utilizing a network of distributors and company
owned and operated locations. During 1999 the Company will integrate its
existing Encore business and the Lodgistix division of Sulcus which operates in
a similar market. Subsequent to the merger, the Company expects to operate four
segments, Network Services, Hospitality, Squirrel (point-of-sale systems) and
International.

(b)      NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

         Businesses have an increasing need to utilize E-commerce and exchange
information in a variety of increasingly complex fashions. To facilitate the
exchange of information, businesses are using methods such as remote access,
Intranets, the Internet, e-mail, video conferencing and standard voice
applications. The amount of data required to facilitate E-commerce and complete
these information exchanges has increased traffic and placed significant demand
on corporate networks. Furthermore, the technology employed on corporate
networks has become increasingly complex as large multi-vendor heterogeneous
networks have proliferated. The options available to businesses seeking to build
and manage networks to facilitate these information exchanges include many
rapidly developing, highly sophisticated, new technologies such as switches,
routers, hubs, inverse multiplexers, ATM, frame relay and VLANS. Amid this
complex, rapidly changing technological environment, companies are increasingly
focused on their core competencies and relying to a greater degree on network
professionals to help them manage their information exchange requirements. In
addition, key software companies are looking for applications that can improve
efficiencies together with services that assist in the design, installation and
maintenance of such systems.

         STRATEGY

         The Company's objective is to become the premier provider of 
information technology services supporting internet and intranet E-Commerce 
applications. To achieve its objective, the Company is pursuing the following 
strategies:

         EXPAND SERVICE OFFERINGS. The Company has continued to expand its 
service offerings, and anticipates services to comprise a growing portion of 
revenues. Increasing the proportion of service revenue such as design, 
consulting, network monitoring, maintenance and software is expected to 
result in improved operating margins. During 1998 and 1999, the Company 
acquired the Encore Group and Sulcus which offers help desk and technology 
implementation services.

         STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. The Company intends to continue to pursue
acquisitions to expand within its existing markets, enter new markets, increase
the Company's range of services and to add technical expertise to the Company.

         BUILD AND STRENGTHEN EXISTING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS. The Company 
currently sells its services to a large customer base nationwide. The Company 
believes that by delivering dependable, high-quality network services, it 
will strengthen its relationship with this existing customer base, thus 
leading to increased repeat business.

         DEVELOP NICHE BUSINESS UNIT FOCUSING ON TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES. 
Within the network management arena, there are selected niche markets where 
the Company can bring together specific applications and network management 
services to provide a total technology solution to a customer. The 
acquisition of the Encore Group in 1998 was such an entry into the 
Hospitality industry with a specialized software product. The Company 
anticipates entering other such niche markets in the future.

                                       3

         PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

         During 1998 Eltrax focused on developing services to provide 
customers with a total systems solution for their networking needs. The 
relative contribution to revenue of services provided by the Company has 
increased significantly as additional capabilities and technical service 
personnel have been acquired or hired.

         The Company designs, installs, manages, maintains and monitors 
communication networks. Equipment central to these operations includes 
modems, routers, channel service units, digital service units, switches, hubs 
and multiplexers used in communications networks. This type of equipment is 
used by customers who need to (i) build and operate networks for remote 
access computing; (ii) link local area networks together to form wide area 
networks; (iii) provide secure and efficient access to the internet; (iv) 
operate as an internet service provider; and (v) build and operate corporate 
intranets. Currently, Eltrax purchases equipment directly from a number of 
manufacturers including Adtran, Cisco, Micom, Motorola and 3Com.

         The Company's Hospitality Division generates the majority of its 
revenues from services related to its proprietary hotel property management 
systems software. The Division also provides installation and help desk 
services related to other companies' products. In mid 1998 the Division began 
rolling out its new Medallion windows based property management product.

         SALES AND MARKETING

         Eltrax sales activities are directed by the Vice President of Sales and
Marketing and local management. The sales personnel are located in approximately
15 states and generally concentrate their efforts in close proximity to their
home locations. No single customer accounted for ten percent or more of Eltrax's
gross revenue during the last three fiscal periods.

         The Company uses a variety of sales and marketing techniques including
hosting technical seminars, attending trade shows, publishing newsletters and
direct mailings. Significant amounts of these marketing efforts are reimbursed
by data networking equipment manufacturers through co-op funding programs.
Additionally, the Company relies upon referrals from these manufacturers and
from telecommunication carriers for sales leads.

         COMPETITION

         Eltrax focuses on the products of leading edge manufacturers to sell
and distribute. Eltrax is not limited to any single technology, manufacturer or
product line. The volume of purchasing that Eltrax has been able to achieve from
these leading edge manufacturers has allowed it to achieve favorable price
discounts from its essential manufacturer suppliers.

         Competition for these products and services is intense. As technology
evolves, the historic products that Eltrax sells require a lower level of
technical expertise to sell and support. This leads manufacturers to sell their
products through large distributors who sell based upon price and availability.
The challenge for Eltrax is to continue to maintain a high degree of technical
expertise to provide its customers with leading edge technology coupled with a
customer total solutions as opposed to solely providing hardware.

         The competition for customers is intense, with many options 
available to customers. Eltrax competes by building client relationships 
whereby the customer relies upon Eltrax to be its key supplier of technology 
services and products.

         GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

         The Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 is expected to result in
greater competition throughout the telecommunications industry. Greater
competition is expected to create more opportunities for corporate and
government end-users to utilize communication facilities, thus generating
increasing needs for the equipment and services that Eltrax provides. This
greater competition also creates uncertainties for the Company, in that
competitors with far greater resources could take market share away from the
Company.




                                       4
<PAGE>


         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         Until the acquisition of the Encore Group in 1998, the Company did not
perform significant research and development activities. Research and
development expenditures in 1998 represent the costs incurred in connection with
the continuing development and refinement of the Company's Medallion property
management software product. Accordingly, no such expenditures were made during
the year ended December 31, 1997. For the nine-month transition period ended
December 31, 1996, research and development costs which related to the
discontinued businesses have been included in discontinued operations.

         EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 300 persons
on a full-time basis. The Company's employees are not covered by any collective
bargaining agreements and management believes its employee relationships are
good. The Company's ability to successfully offer commercially marketable
products and to establish a market position in view of continuing technological
developments will depend in part upon its ability to attract and retain
qualified technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense.

(a)    Includes the operations of the following companies acquired by Eltrax
       from their respective dates of acquisition: Nordata, Inc. and Rudata,
       Inc. (together, "Datatech") (May 17, 1996), Four Corners Technology, Inc.
       (July 1, 1997), Hi-Tech Connections, Inc. (August 1, 1997), DataComm
       Associates, Inc. and Midwest Telecom Associates, Inc. (October 31,
       1997) and the Encore Group, (September 1, 1998). The results of 
       Atlantic Network Systems, Inc. ("ANS") and EJG Techline Incorporated
       ("Techline") have been included for all periods presented. These two
       companies merged with Eltrax on October 31, 1996 and May 17, 1997,
       respectively, in transactions accounted for as pooling-of-interests.
       On January 31, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of the MST
       Distribution Business ("MST") from MRK Technologies, LTD.

(b)    The selected financial data for the year ended March 31, 1996 is derived
       from the Eltrax financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1996, 
       restated to include the results of Techline.

(c)    The selected financial data for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995 is
       derived from the unaudited annual financial statements of ANS and
       Techline, as well as certain Eltrax historical data. The March 31, 1995
       data represents information for the year ended December 31, 1994 for ANS
       and Techline. In 1996, all other units of Eltrax, which were operating at
       March 31, 1995, were discontinued. The Eltrax data included above for
       1995 represents management's estimate of the income, expenses and assets
       from those years that were unrelated to the subsequently discontinued
       operations.

(d)    The 1997 loss from operations includes $5,714 in goodwill impairments and
       $1,316 in income taxes resulting from the recognition of a full valuation
       allowance on deferred tax assets.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

         Certain statements in this Form 10-K and in future filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in the Company's
written and oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized
executive officer, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be
subject to the safe harbors created thereby. The words "believe", "expect" and
"anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to
future events and financial performance, but are subject to many uncertainties
and factors relating to the Company's operations and business environment which
may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any
future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Examples
of such uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in customer
demand and requirements, new product announcements, interest rate fluctuations,
changes in federal income tax laws and regulations, competition, industry
specific factors and world wide economic and business conditions. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END AND INFORMATION PRESENTED

         In October 1996, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from March 31
to December 31, which resulted in a nine-month transition period ended December
31, 1996. The decision to change the fiscal year-end was made for more
convenience in both internal and external communications. To facilitate
comparative analysis, the Company has elected to present the results of
operations for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and December 31, 1996
along with the results of operations for the nine-month transition period 
ended December 31, 1996.

         The following information excludes the operations of the Company's
Health Card Business, which has reflected as a discontinued operation in the
accompanying financial statements.

</TABLE>

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

         Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased 
slightly to $50.7 million compared to total revenue of $49.9 million for the 
year ended December 31, 1997. This increase is due to the inclusion of the 
acquisitions made by the Company in both 1998 and 1997. Sales from the Encore 
Group, acquired in September, 1998 totaled approximately $4.7 million, and 
the full year sales from the 1997 acquisitions increased revenue by $15.6 
million. These increases were offset by reduced sales at Datatech and to 
certain distribution customers, which decreased by approximately $19.0 million 
in 1998 as compared to 1997.

         The gross margin percentage increased significantly to 25.5 percent 
in the year ended December 31, 1998 from 17.2 percent in the year ended 
December 31, 1997. This increase is due to higher margins at the businesses 
acquired during 1998 and 1997 which include a higher proportion of service 
revenue. In addition, sales in 1997 from the Company's Datatech subsidiary 
and distribution operations generally carried lower margins. The Company's 
Encore Group margin was approximately 45% in 1998. In the fourth quarter of 
1998, the Company recorded a $.4 million provision for inventory reserves on 
remaining distribution related products, reducing the 1998 gross profit by 
 .8%.

         Operating expenses decreased 17.7 percent to $15.1 million, or 29.9 
percent of revenue in the year ended December 31, 1998, as compared to $18.4 
million or 36.8 percent of revenue, in the year ended December 31, 1997. This 
decrease is due primarily to the significant goodwill adjustments totaling 
$5.7 million recorded in 1997 to reflect the closing of the remainder of the 
Company's reseller business. Operating expenses increased by $2.5 million 
after taking the $5.7 million charge into account. Approximately $5.4 million 
of operating expense increases were due to the full year effect of 
acquisitions in 1997 and the Encore acquisition in 1998. In addition, in the 
fourth quarter of 1998 the Company recorded approximately $.4 million in 
severance, recruiting and related costs. These increases were offset by 
expense reductions at Datatech and expenses related to certain distribution 
customers.

         Interest expense increased slightly in 1998 due primarily to the
borrowings related to the Company's acquisition of the Encore Group.

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 (UNAUDITED)

         Results for the year ended December 31, 1997 were significantly
affected by the results of the Company's Datatech subsidiary. As the
subsidiary's operations deteriorated in the first quarter and its losses
increased in the second quarter, the Company undertook an evaluation of the
operation's management and performance. As a result, the Datatech management
team was removed; sales functions were consolidated; inventory was moved and
consolidated with inventory at the Southeastern Region in Raleigh, North
Carolina and the back office functions at Datatech were also consolidated at the
Southeastern Region. Accordingly, the year ended December 31, 1997, reflects
significant expenses related to this situation and includes related charges due
to high levels of customer returns, increased bad debt expenses, provisions to
reduce inventory to market value and severance costs. In addition, the
evaluation resulted in the adjustment of $4.4 million of Datatech goodwill, and
the recording of a valuation allowance against deferred income taxes of $1.3
million.


                                       11
<PAGE>

         Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased by 44 
percent or $15.3 million to $49.9 million when compared to total revenue of 
$34.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. This increase is due to 
the inclusion of the acquisitions made by the Company in both 1996 and 1997. 
The four companies purchased in 1997 contributed approximately $10.4 million 
of the increase, and sales resulting from the purchase of MST were 
approximately $6.2 million. Sales at the Southeast Region were also up 
slightly over the prior year. These increases were offset by reduced sales at 
Datatech, which decreased by approximately $2.0 million in 1997 compared to 
1996, in spite of the 1996 sales including only the seven months since the 
date of acquisition.

         The gross margin percentage decreased slightly to 17.2 percent in the
year ended December 31, 1997 from 17.4 percent in the year ended December 31,
1996. This decrease is due to lower Datatech margins partially offset by higher
margins at the businesses acquired during 1997 which include a higher proportion
of service revenue.

         Operating expenses increased 171 percent to $18.4 million, or 36.8
percent of revenue in the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $6.8
million or 19.6 percent of revenue, in the year ended December 31, 1996. This
increase is due to several factors, including the significant goodwill
adjustments totaling $5.7 million that were made to reflect the closing of the
remainder of the Company's reseller business, as well as costs incurred during
the year at Datatech related to customer returns and bad debts. Operating
expenses also increased significantly due to the acquisitions in both 1997 and
1996 as well as the cost of the Company's ongoing growth activities.
Amortization of intangibles contributed $.2 million of the increase.

         Interest expense increased significantly due to higher borrowings on
the Company's line of credit utilized to acquire MST and provide operating
capital.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND NINE-MONTH TRANSITION PERIOD
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

         Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased by 68.0
percent to $49.9 million when compared to total revenue of $29.7 million for the
nine-month transition period ended December 31, 1996. This increase is due to
the inclusion of the acquisitions made in 1997 and 1996 as well as the full year
effect in 1997.

         The gross margin percentage increased slightly to 17.2 percent in the
year ended December 31, 1997 from 16.9 percent in the nine months ended December
31, 1996 due to higher margins at the businesses acquired in 1997.

         Operating expenses increased significantly to $18.4 million in the year
ended December 31, 1997, compared to $5.9 million in the nine months ended
December 31, 1996. This increase is primarily due to the factors relating to
goodwill adjustments, acquisitions, and Datatech related items discussed above,
as well as the full year effect in 1997 compared to the nine-month period ending
December 31, 1996.

         Income tax expense in 1997 reflected the $1.3 million valuation
allowance recorded in the second quarter of 1997.

COMPARISON OF PRO FORMA YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997.

         The following discussion describes the Company results, as if the 1998
and 1997 acquisitions had taken place as of the beginning of the year ended
December 31, 1997.

         The pro forma revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998 decreased by
$13.1 million when compared to the pro forma revenue for the year ended December
31, 1997. This decrease is primarily due to the decreased revenue related to
Datatech and the reduction in distribution related sales of $13.0 million. These
decreases were offset by increased revenue at each of the operations acquired in
1998 and 1997.

         The pro forma gross margin percentage increased to approximately 27.4
percent in the year ended December 31, 1998 from 24.2 percent in the year ended
December 31, 1997. This increase is also primarily attributed to the 1997 sales
at Datatech, and the reduced distribution sales. These sales carried
significantly lower margins.

         The pro forma operating expenses of the Company decreased to $19.3
million in the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $27.0 million in the
year ended December 31, 1997. This decrease is due to several factors, including
the $5.7 million goodwill adjustments made to reflect the closing of the
remainder of the Company's reseller business as well as costs incurred during
1997 at Datatech related to customer returns and bad debts.



                                       13

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The level of cash and cash equivalents decreased by $355,000 from 
$366,000 at December 31, 1997 to $11,000 at December 31, 1998. The lower cash 
balances reflect improved cash management procedures resulting in the 
consolidation of accounts and lower balances. The Company's short-term 
borrowings under its bank line decreased by $2.7 million to $2.0 million at 
December 31, 1998.

         Cash provided by operations in 1998 of $.3 million reflected the 
$2.5 million net loss offset by approximately $1.6 million of non-cash 
charges and a reduction in inventories and accounts receivable of $4.6 
million. Inventories have continued to decrease as the Company implements its 
plan to reduce inventory levels and purchase items on an as-needed basis as 
compared to maintaining inventory. Accounts receivable decreased during 1998 
primarily due to the reduction in sales to certain distribution customers. 
Accounts payable decreased by $2.9 million reflecting the lower inventory 
levels.

         Cash used for investing activities of $8.9 million reflects primarily
the acquisition of the Encore Group in September 1998 for a net cash outlay of
$8.3 million. Fixed asset purchases of $.6 million were slightly above the $.5
million level in 1997.

         Cash provided by financing activities of $8.3 million resulted from the
two major transactions. In June 1998 the Company raised approximately $7.4
million by calling the warrants issued in the 1997 private equity offering of
1,050,000 common shares. In September 1998, in connection with the purchase of
the Encore Group, the Company received $4.0 million in term loan financing from
its bank.

         The Company renegotiated its credit facility in September 1998 
resulting in availability under the credit line of $6.0 million as well as 
the $4.0 million term loan. The revised agreement also modified certain 
covenants, and extended the agreement to September 2001. The availability 
under the credit line is limited to the Company's borrowing base, which is a 
function of certain accounts receivable and inventory. At December 1998, the 
borrowing base was approximately $5.2 million while borrowings were $2.0 
million. The Company was not in compliance with certain covenants at the end 
of 1998 and in early 1999. The bank has waived this noncompliance.

         Subsequent to the merger with Sulcus in 1999, the Company 
anticipates reducing its credit line and renegotiating its banking agreements 
to include certain Sulcus assets in its borrowing base (see Notes 9 and 13). 
The Company expects that the revised credit facility and cash on hand after 
the merger will be sufficient to meet its short-term financing needs and 
expects to meet covenant requirements. The Company expects to meet certain 
long-term liquidity requirements such as acquisitions through the issuance of 
equity or debt securities. The Company considers these sources to be adequate 
and anticipates they will continue to be adequate to meet long-term capital 
requirements.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

          As a result of certain computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to determine the applicable year, any computer systems
that have date sensitive software may recognize a date using a "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000 (the "Year 2000 Issue"). This causes programs
that perform arithmetic operations, comparisons or date sorts to possibly
generate erroneous results when the program is required to process dates from
both centuries. This could result in a system failure, incorrect data or other
business disruptions. Eltrax shareholders should take into account the following
risk factors related to the Year 2000 Issue.

         INTERNAL BUSINESS PROCESSING SYSTEMS. The first area of concern is the
impact of the Year 2000 Issue on internal business processing systems. Due to
Eltrax's growth, through a number of acquisitions, Eltrax currently uses a
number of different business processing systems. Certain of these systems may
not be Year 2000 capable. To address the inefficiencies caused by multiple
different systems and the Year 2000 Issue, Eltrax determined in early 1998 to
replace all existing systems with new uniform Year 2000 capable systems that
are expected to improve operating efficiency. The final software selection was
made in late 1998. The implementation is expected to occur throughout 1999. The
cost of this system, including software, hardware, and implementation costs, is
expected to be in the range of $500,000 to $700,000. At December 31, 1998, costs
of approximately $350,000 had been incurred.

         CUSTOMERS' NETWORK SYSTEMS. The second area of concern is with 
network systems sold and/or installed by Eltrax. Eltrax has instituted a 
program to review the systems of all customers who currently purchase ongoing 
maintenance services from Eltrax. This program will provide assistance to 
customers in reviewing their networks for Year 2000 issues. Customers not 
utilizing support services will be notified of their need to review their 
networks for Year 2000 risks. This process was substantially complete at the 
end of 1998. This project has not resulted in any material incremental cost 
to Eltrax.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. The third area of concern involves the Eltrax
software products, which are primarily the applications of Encore Systems, Inc.,
a recently-acquired subsidiary of Eltrax. Encore had substantially completed
development of Year 2000 versions of its software at the time Eltrax acquired
Encore, and Encore is in the process of upgrading customers' systems to be Year
2000 compliant. This process should be completed in early 1999, and any future
costs are expected to be minor.

         SUPPLIERS. The final area of concern is whether the products and
services procured by Eltrax from its major suppliers will function properly or
be available without interruption in the year 2000. Eltrax intends to request
assurances from its major suppliers that they are addressing the Year 2000 Issue
in a timely fashion. There can be no assurance that all of the Eltrax suppliers
of products and services will successfully address the Year 2000 Issue. It will
be impossible to fully assess the potential consequences if service
interruptions occur from suppliers or in infrastructure areas such as utilities,
communications, transportation, banking and government. As a result, Eltrax also
intends to develop a contingency plan by mid-1999 to minimize the impact of such
external events.

          While Eltrax's efforts to address these Year 2000 risks will involve
additional costs and the time and effort of a number of employees, Eltrax
believes, based on currently available information, that it will be able to
properly manage its total Year 2000 exposure. However, Eltrax may not be
successful in this effort, which may have a material adverse effect on Eltrax's
business, financial condition or results of operations.

IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER

         The following factors are important and should be considered carefully
in connection with any evaluation of the Company's business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.

ABILITY TO EFFICIENTLY INTEGRATE AND OPERATE SULCUS

          The merger between Eltrax and Sulcus became effective March 25, 
1999. Because the merger of Eltrax and Sulcus is the largest business 
combination that either company has ever done, the Eltrax management team 
will face new and challenging issues associated with combining and 
integrating the business operations of the companies, especially the 
international operations of Sulcus. Eltrax expects to incur significant 
expenses in its integration efforts. The failure to successfully combine and 
integrate the operations of both companies will have a material adverse 
effect on the combined company's future results of operations and financial 
condition.

ELTRAX'S ABILITY TO EFFICIENTLY INTEGRATE AND OPERATE RECENT ACQUISITIONS

         During the last two years, in addition to Sulcus, Eltrax has merged
with or acquired seven companies, including Encore Systems, Inc., Global Systems
and Support, Inc. and Five Star Systems, Inc. in September 1998. The rapid
growth associated with these acquisitions and the difficulties associated with
the integration of these businesses into Eltrax has placed, and will continue to
place, a significant strain on Eltrax's systems and controls and its management.
The management of Eltrax has expended, and expects to continue to expend,
significant time and effort in integrating the operations of its acquisitions
and in expanding the Eltrax systems and controls to its acquisitions. The
failure of Eltrax management to accomplish these tasks could have a material
adverse effect on Eltrax's results of operations and financial condition.

FUTURE ELTRAX ACQUISITIONS

         Eltrax has an announced strategy to continue to pursue acquisitions of
complementary businesses. Future acquisitions by Eltrax may present any of the
following risks:

         (1)      Future acquisitions may present increased difficulties in
                  integrating the operations of new businesses into Eltrax;
         (2)      Eltrax may be unable to retain key employees of the future
                  acquisitions;
         (3)      Future acquisitions may not perform at their historical or
                  expected levels;
         (4)      Eltrax may incur additional debt in future acquisitions;
         (5)      Future acquisitions may result in increased amortization
                  expenses;
         (6)      Eltrax's current systems, procedures and controls may not be
                  adequate to support the company's operations as they are
                  combined with future acquisitions;



                                       15
<PAGE>

         (7)      The addition of new acquisitions will impose significant added
                  responsibilities on members of senior management, including
                  the need to identify, recruit and integrate new senior level
                  managers and executives; and
         (8)      Future acquisitions will dilute the stock ownership of current
                  shareholders and may have a dilutive effect on earnings.

HISTORY OF LOSSES AND UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY

         Eltrax has a history of net losses, including a net loss of 
$2,522,349 in 1998 and $11,332,343 in 1997. Sulcus also has a history of net 
losses, including a net loss of approximately $4,306,000 in 1998 and 
$2,010,000 in 1997. Eltrax may continue to generate net losses in the future.

COMPETITION FROM LARGER COMPETITORS

         Competition in Eltrax's business is intense and is expected to
increase. In some cases, competitors of Eltrax larger than Eltrax, have longer
operating histories, have more financial, technical, research, marketing, sales,
distribution and other resources, and have greater name recognition and larger
customer bases than Eltrax. In some cases, these disparities put Eltrax at a
competitive disadvantage. This competitive disadvantage could result in reduced
profit margins or loss of market share.

UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

          The success of Eltrax depends in part upon the protection of the
proprietary nature of its application software and hardware products. Eltrax
relies on a combination of copyright and trade secret protection, non-disclosure
agreements and license agreements to establish, protect and enforce its
intellectual property rights. Eltrax shareholders should take into account two
risk factors related to intellectual property rights.

         (1)      Despite efforts to safeguard and maintain its proprietary
                  rights, Eltrax may not be successful in doing so, or its
                  competitors may independently develop technologies that are
                  substantially similar or superior to Eltrax technologies.
         (2)      The laws of certain foreign countries do not protect
                  intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same
                  manner as do the laws of the United States. Although Eltrax
                  will implement protective measures and intend to defend its
                  proprietary rights vigorously, these efforts may not be
                  successful.

DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES

         The success of the combined company will be effected by the performance
of its executive officers and other key personnel. Eltrax shareholders should
take into account two risk factors related to executive officers and other key
personnel.

         (1)      The loss of the services of any of its executive officers or
                  other key employees could have a material adverse effect on
                  the company as Eltrax greatly depends on the services of a few
                  key employees and does not have the management depth of some
                  larger companies.
         (2)      Eltrax's future success will also depend in part upon its
                  ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified
                  technical, managerial and marketing personnel. Competition for
                  such personnel in the information technology services industry
                  is intense. The inability to hire or retain qualified
                  personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.



                                       16
<PAGE>


RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

          Many of the Eltrax products and services are based on new or improved
technologies that have not previously been available. The success of Eltrax
depends, in large part, upon the markets' acceptance of the new technologies
of Eltrax.

The following list contains examples of new technologies that Eltrax or Sulcus
has recently introduced to market:

         (1)      Eltrax recently introduced NetWatch ONLINE, its remote 
                  network monitoring and management services, on a nationwide 
                  basis.
         (2)      Encore Systems, Inc. (an Eltrax subsidiary) recently 
                  introduced its next generation, Microsoft(R) 
                  Windows NT(R) based, Medallion property 
                  management software products for the hospitality industry.
         (3)      Sulcus recently introduced its next generation 
                  Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R) based version of its Squirrel 
                  product line, which is a restaurant point-of-sale management 
                  system.
         (4)      Sulcus recently introduced its Legacy data warehousing and 
                  data mining products and services. The Legacy products and 
                  services are used to collect data from hotels about their 
                  guests and generate a variety of information useful in 
                  hotel management and marketing efforts.

          Eltrax will have to overcome the difficulties inherent in the 
introduction of new or improved technologies to the market. Market acceptance 
of these new products and services will depend in large part on the ability 
of Eltrax to demonstrate to customers the technical capabilities and the 
value of these new technologies. These new technologies may not be accepted 
in the market in preference to competing products and services presently 
available or newer products and services that may be developed in the future. 
Lack of market acceptance of Eltrax's products and services would adversely 
affect the Company's performance.

DEPENDENCE ON HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM INDUSTRY

         The success of Eltrax is dependent upon demand for its products and
services in the hospitality and tourism industry. Consequently, any decline in
capital spending by the hospitality and tourism industry, in general, or by key
customers of Eltrax in those industries, may have a material adverse effect on
Eltrax's business, operating results and financial condition.

EFFECT OF GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

         Demand for Eltrax products and services depends, in large part, on the
overall demand for communications and networking products and for applications
solutions, which may be affected by general economic conditions that affect
capital spending levels. These general economic conditions including interest
rate fluctuations, economic recessions and customer business cycles. Eltrax
may experience a decline in demand for its products and services due to general
economic conditions.

SULCUS' INTERNATIONAL SALES AND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

          Sales from Sulcus' international operations represented approximately
39% of Sulcus' total sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
approximately 42% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
largest portion of these international sales are generated in the Pacific Rim
Region, which represented approximately 19% of Sulcus' total sales for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and approximately 22% of Sulcus' total sales for the
year ended December 31, 1997. Eltrax shareholders should take into account the
following risk factors related to sales in international markets.

         (1)      There could be unexpected changes in regulatory requirements.
         (2)      New tariffs or other barriers to certain international markets
                  may develop.
         (3)      There are inherent difficulties in staffing and managing
                  foreign operations.
         (4)      There are often longer payment cycles and greater difficulty
                  in accounts receivable collection from sales in certain
                  international markets.
         (5)      Unstable political environments could affect general business
                  conditions in certain international markets.

                                       17
<PAGE>

         (6)      There may be potentially adverse tax consequences in certain
                  international markets.
         (7)      There could be gains and losses on foreign currency conversion
                  to U.S. dollars.

ELTRAX'S NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO MAKE ACQUISITIONS

          Eltrax has developed a strategy of growth through additional
acquisitions and it is anticipated that the combined company will continue to
pursue acquisitions. While Eltrax believes it will continue to pay the purchase
price for a majority of its acquisitions with capital stock, Eltrax anticipates
that additional capital may be required to make certain acquisitions. However,
the additional capital may not be available to the Company to make those
acquisitions.

LACK OF DIVIDENDS

         Eltrax has not paid dividends on its common stock and does not
anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The company intends
to retain any earnings to finance the development of its business and,
consequently, may never pay cash dividends.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

         The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential
loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign
currency exchange and interest rates. The Company does not enter into
derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company has also not entered into financial instruments to manage and reduce
the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The
Company may enter into such transactions in the future.

INTEREST RATE RISKS

         The Company's debt at December 31, 1998 primarily carries interest
rates which vary with the prime rate. Accordingly, any increases in the banks'
prime rate will reduce the Company's earnings. A 1% increase in the prime rate
on the Company's $5,691,000 of bank debt at December 31, 1998 would result in an
annual expense increase of approximately $57,000.

         Subsequent to the merger with Sulcus, the Company expects to pay down
all short-term debt and operate with positive cash balances. Any short-term
investment income derived in the future will also be sensitive to such changes
in interest rates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISKS

         Historically the Company has had no foreign currency denominated assets
or liabilities. The merger with Sulcus in 1999 will result in exposures to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At December 31, 1998 Sulcus had
foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities of approximately
$10,500,000 and $8,100,000 respectively.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Eltrax Systems, Inc.:

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the 
index appearing on page F-1 presents fairly, in all material respects, the 
financial position of Eltrax Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the 
"Company") at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations 
and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the 
nine-month period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial 
statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(1) on page 
F-1, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth 
therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial 
statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are 
the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement 
schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in 
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we 
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

         Eltrax Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Eltrax"), is a national
provider of data communications networking products and services. Eltrax
designs, installs, maintains and monitors networking systems for end-user
corporate and government customers. The Company's products and services include
data communications equipment used in remote access and enterprise-wide
communications networks and the installation and maintenance of that equipment.
The Company also offers Network Management Services to enterprise-wide network
customers. In addition, with the acquisition of the Encore Group in 1998, the
Company provides software and related technology services to the hospitality
industry.

         In October 1996, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from March 31
to December 31. Accordingly, the 1996 statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows are for the nine months ended December 31,
1996.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

         The Company considers all investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
consist primarily of short-term money market instruments that are recorded at
cost, which approximates market.

INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist principally of purchased components and are stated
at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out
method.

FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT

         Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of two to ten years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of
the term of the related lease or its estimated useful life. Upon retirement or
disposal of furniture and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in income.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE

         Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological
feasibility are charged to operations and included in research and development
costs. Software development costs incurred after establishing technological
feasibility are capitalized. Amortization of purchased and capitalized software
is provided for when the product is available for general release to customers.
The amortization is determined


                                      F-7
<PAGE>


as the greater of the amount computed using the remaining estimated economic
life of the product or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear
to the total of current and anticipated revenues for that product. Software
products are currently being amortized over five years.

INTANGIBLES

         Intangible assets are comprised primarily of goodwill representing 
the excess of cost over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired and 
purchased customer lists. These assets are generally being amortized on a 
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to fifteen years. 
Intangibles are evaluated for potential impairment of value whenever events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that full asset recoverability is 
questionable. Such evaluations consider current as well as anticipated 
operating results measured on the basis of undiscounted cash flows of the 
operation relative to the asset.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenue from equipment and software sales is generally recognized 
upon shipment. Revenue for services such as installation and consulting is 
recognized as the service is performed. Revenue from maintenance contracts is 
recognized ratably over the term of the service agreement. Unearned revenue 
includes customer deposits. Included in accounts receivable are unbilled 
revenues for sales and services performed. These unbilled revenues are 
generally billed shortly after the end of the period.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

         In 1998, Eltrax adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
("FAS") 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
Information. FAS 131 supersedes FAS 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a 
Business Enterprise, replacing the "industry segment" approach with the 
"management" approach. The management approach designates the internal 
organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and 
assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. FAS 
131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, 
and major customers. The adoption of FAS 131 did not affect results of 
operations or financial position but did affect the information disclosed for 
segment information.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENT

         Net loss per share data is determined by dividing the loss by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock 
equivalents, representing shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of 
dilutive stock options and warrants, have been excluded from loss per share 
calculations as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

SERVICE REVENUE

         Revenue derived from services was not material for the periods prior 
to 1998. In 1998, the acquisition of the Encore Group together with the full 
year effect of the 1997 acquisitions resulted in increased service revenues. 
The service revenue and cost of revenue has not been presented prior to 1998.

3.   MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

DATATECH

         On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of
Nordata, Inc. and Rudata, Inc. (together doing business as Datatech). Datatech
configured, marketed, installed and maintained data communications equipment for
its customers' computer and telecommunications systems over enterprise wide
local area networks and wide area networks. Total consideration paid (including
acquisition costs) included 1,968,000 unregistered shares of the Company's
common stock and $1,626,000 of cash, resulting



                                      F-8
<PAGE>


in a total purchase price of $7,120,000. The value assigned to the Company's
unregistered common stock issued in the acquisition was 35% below the price at
which the Company's registered shares were then trading. This discount
represented management's estimate of the reduced value of the unregistered
shares.

         The Datatech acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of Datatech's operations are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The Company
originally recorded goodwill of $4,849,000 in connection with the acquisition,
which was being amortized over 15 years.

         As a result of events which occurred at the Company's Datatech
subsidiary in the second quarter of 1997, the Company determined that there was
a permanent impairment in the fair value of the goodwill recorded in connection
with the Datatech purchase and wrote-off $2,458,000 of the Datatech goodwill.
The remaining goodwill of approximately $1,930,000 was written off in the fourth
quarter on 1997 reflecting the Company's decision to change its focus from the
remaining Datatech customer base and close the Datatech facility in early 1998.

Atlantic Network Systems, Inc.

         On October 31, 1996, the Company issued 950,000 shares of its
unregistered common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of
Atlantic Network Systems, Inc. (ANS). ANS provides data networking products and
services. The ANS merger has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and,
accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements were restated in
1996 to include the accounts and operations of ANS for all periods prior to the
merger.

MST

         On January 31, 1997, ANS acquired certain assets of MST Distribution
("MST") from MRK Technologies, LTD. Acquired assets included inventory,
contracts, furniture and equipment and various intangibles. The purchase price,
including transaction costs, was approximately $2,028,000. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the results of MST's operations
are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from January 31,
1997.

         The Company recorded $1,412,000 of goodwill in connection with the
acquisition, which was being amortized over 15 years. The remaining goodwill of
approximately $1,326,000 was written off in the fourth quarter of 1997 due to
the Company's decision to focus on end user customers and to eliminate sales to
the majority of the MST customer base.

EJG TECHLINE, INCORPORATED

         On May 14, 1997, the Company issued 230,000 unregistered shares of its
common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of EJG
Techline, Incorporated ("Techline"). Techline provides data networking products
and services. The merger with Techline has been accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial
statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations of Techline
for all periods prior to the merger and to eliminate intercompany sales prior to
the merger.

FOUR CORNERS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

         On July 1, 1997, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Four
Corners Technology, Inc. ("Four Corners") for 400,000 unregistered shares of the
Company's common stock. Four Corners provides data networking products and
services. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
the results of Four Corners' operations are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from July 1, 1997. The total purchase price
was approximately $1,912,000 (including transaction costs). The value assigned
to the Company's unregistered common stock issued in the



                                      F-9
<PAGE>


acquisition was 35% below the price at which the Company's registered shares
were then trading. This discount represented management's estimate of the
reduced value of the unregistered shares. The Company recorded goodwill of
approximately $1,638,000 in connection with the acquisition, which is being
amortized over 15 years.

HI-TECH CONNECTIONS, INC.

         Effective August 1, 1997, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of
Hi-Tech Connections, Inc. ("Hi-Tech") for 169,999 shares of the Company's common
stock (including 20,000 shares issued to a third party relating to certain
expenses incurred in the transaction). Hi-Tech provides data networking products
and services. Under the terms of the agreement, 750,000 additional unregistered
shares were issued in March 1998 based on the earnings generated by Hi-Tech
during the six month period ended December 31, 1997. The accompanying financial
statements have reflected the additional shares as if issued at December 31,
1997. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
results of Hi-Tech operations are included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements from August 1, 1997. The total purchase price was
approximately $3,150,000 (including transaction costs). The value assigned to
the Company's unregistered common stock issued in the acquisition was 35% below
the price at which the Company's registered shares were then trading. This
discount represented management's estimate of the reduced value of the
unregistered shares. The Company recorded goodwill of approximately $3,185,000
in connection with the acquisition, which is being amortized over 15 years.

DATACOMM ASSOCIATES, INC. AND MIDWEST TELECOM ASSOCIATES, INC.

         On October 31, 1997 the Company acquired the outstanding common stock
of DataComm Associates, Inc. ("DataComm") and Midwest Telecom Associates, Inc.
("Telecom") for 500,000 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock.
DataComm provides data networking products and services. In addition, the
Company paid broker fees of $160,000. These acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases and, accordingly, the results of DataComm and Telecom are included in
the Company's financial statements from November 1, 1997. The total purchase
price was approximately $2,170,000 (including transaction costs). The value
assigned to the Company's unregistered common stock issued in the acquisition
was 35% below the price at which the Company's registered shares were then
trading. This discount represented management's estimate of the reduced value of
the unregistered shares. The Company recorded goodwill of approximately
$1,267,000 in connection with the acquisitions, which is being amortized over 15
years.

ENCORE SYSTEMS, INC.

         Effective September 1, 1998 the Company acquired Encore Systems, Inc.
("Encore"), Global Systems and Support, Inc. ("GSSI"), Five Star Systems, Inc.
("Five Star") (collectively the "Encore Group"), in a cash and stock
transaction. The Encore Group provides software and services primarily to the
hospitality industry. The Company paid the shareholders of the Encore Group cash
of $8,500,000 as well as 465,000 unregistered shares of Eltrax Common Stock. The
total consideration paid was $11,005,000 including transaction costs. The common
stock was valued at $4.60 a share representing the market value of the shares
upon announcement of the transaction.

         Additional cash payments are also due to the Encore Group 
shareholders beginning in 2002 if a certain customer is still using existing 
software and paying Encore for ongoing maintenance services on that software. 
The contingent payment would be approximately 10% of the maintenance contract 
amount. As it is not possible to estimate what, if any, payment would be due, 
no such amounts have been included in the recording of the Encore Group 
acquisition. Any amounts paid will be recorded as goodwill.

         The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
results of the Encore Group are included in the Company's financial statements
from September 1, 1998. Intangibles resulting from the transaction were
approximately $12,295,000. The purchase price allocation was allocated as



                                      F-10
<PAGE>


follows: $4,000,000 to software products acquired, $2,000,000 to the installed
customer base and workforce with the remainder of $6,295,000 to goodwill. These
assets are being amortized over five, three and ten years respectively.

4.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         On November 22, 1996, the Company sold its Health Card Business for 
$32,000 in cash. The financial statements have been reclassified to present 
the results of the Health Card Business as discontinued operations. Revenue 
from discontinued operations in 1996 was approximately $472,000.

5.       SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         In September and October 1997, the Company issued 1,050,000 common
shares and warrants in a private placement offering to accredited investors. The
shares and warrants were sold for $4.00 a unit and were unregistered. Proceeds
to the Company from the offering, after commissions and expenses, were
approximately $4,000,000. The warrants had an exercise price of $6.25 and were
called by the Company in 1998.

PREFERRED STOCK

         The Company originally authorized 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
30,000 of which were designated as Series A convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred" Stock). All 30,000 shares of the Preferred Stock have been converted
into 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. There were no outstanding
shares of the Preferred Stock at December 31, 1997 and 1996. Currently, there
are 970,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock which are authorized but
unissued.

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

         During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company settled certain
litigation with the prior owners of Datatech. The settlement resulted in a
payment of $20,000 and 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the
Company. These shares have been reflected as retired in the accompanying
financial statements. The total payment, valued at $470,000, represented the
reimbursement by the prior owners of certain selling, general and administrative
expenses.

</TABLE>

         The warrants are vested as of December 31, 1998, except for 62,539 of
the warrants issued in 1996, which vest periodically through October 1999 and
202,500 warrants which will vest upon the attainment of certain Common Stock
prices and the continuance of services provided.

         During 1997 100,000 of the warrants issued during the nine-month period
ending December 31, 1996 were re-priced from $6.00 to $5.25.

         In 1998, warrants for 1,716,667 shares were exercised, including
1,050,000 shares related to the Private Placement discussed above. The proceeds
in 1998 from warrant exercises were $7,375,000. Warrants for 135,000 shares were
exercised in 1997 resulting in proceeds to the Company of $486,000.

6.   STOCK OPTIONS

         The Company has adopted several Stock Incentive Plans (the "Plans"),
under which a total of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock are
available for stock incentive awards. At December 31, 1998, 817,298 of these
shares remained available for grant. The Plans provide that certain eligible
individuals, including officers, employees, non-employee directors, agents and
consultants, may be granted options for providing services to the Company. The
Plans are administered by a compensation committee (the "Committee") consisting
of two members of the Board of Directors. Options are granted at per share
amounts as determined by the Committee, but not less than the fair market value,
as defined in the Plans, at the date of the grant. All outstanding options vest
at various times, not to exceed 10 years, through 2008.

         On October 19, 1997, approximately 550,000 options issued earlier in
1997 were reissued at the exercise price of $5.25, which was the market price on
that date. On December 1, 1998, 300,000 options issued earlier in 1998 were
reissued at the exercise price of $5.25, which was the market price on that
date. The cancelled original options have been treated as expired.

         In addition to options granted under the Plans, the Company has granted
10,000 nonqualified options at $1.63 which are fully vested and exercisable at
December 31, 1998. These options expire in August 2003.

         In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, a new standard of accounting and
reporting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company adopted the disclosure
provisions of this new standard in 1996. The Company has continued to measure
compensation cost for its stock incentive and option plans using the intrinsic
value-based method of accounting it has historically used and therefore, the new
standard has no effect on the Company's operating results.

Had the Company used the fair value-based method of accounting for its stock
option and incentive plans beginning on April 1, 1996 and charged compensation
cost against income, over the vesting period, based on the fair value of options
at the date of grant, the net loss and net loss per common share for the years
ending December 31, 1998 and 1997, and nine-month transition period ended
December 31, 1996, would have been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

         The pro forma information above only includes stock options granted
since December 31, 1995.

         The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $4.02
per option for the year ended December 31, 1998, $3.22 per option for the year
ended December 31, 1997, and $2.98 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options was determined using the
fair value of each option grant on the date of grant, utilizing the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model concepts and the following key assumptions:

         At March 31, 1996, the Company had established a full valuation
allowance due to uncertainty as to the likelihood and timing of future taxable
income. This valuation allowance was reversed in connection with the Company's
acquisition of Datatech when it was determined that it was more likely than not
that the deferred tax assets would be realized in a future period. During the
second quarter of 1997, based on recent operating results, the Company again
established a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance will continue to
be evaluated against the Company's operating performance and adjusted as deemed
necessary.

         At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards
of approximately $6,500,000 expiring at various dates through 2012. In addition,
the Company has capital loss carry-forwards of approximately $600,000. The
utilization of certain loss carry-forwards to offset income in future periods
may be limited as to use in any given year.

9.   FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

         The Company has a $6,000,000 line of credit with its bank to be used
for working capital purposes. The line is subject to a formula based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventory. At December 31, 1998 approximately $2,024,000
was outstanding under the line. The collateral at December 31, 1998 supported an
available line of approximately $5,200,000. In 1998 the agreement was amended to
include a $4,000,000 term loan and extend the agreement to September, 2001. The
variable interest rate is one percent above the bank's prime rate on the line of
credit and one and one half percent above the bank's prime rate on the term
loan. At December 31, 1998 the interest rate on the line of credit was 8.75%.
The Company is charged a commitment fee of .25% on any unborrowed amounts on the
line of credit. As the rates charged are variable, the carrying value of the
debt approximates its fair value. All Company assets have been pledged as
security for the line of credit and term loan.

         The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including 
achieving certain monthly earnings before taxes, interest, amortization, and 
depreciation, as well as certain reporting covenants. Certain ratios change 
over the course of the agreement. At December 31, 1998, the Company was not 
in compliance with the quarterly positive earnings covenant. Subsequent to 
year-end, the Company was not in compliance with several covenants. At the 
Company's request, the bank has waived their rights permanently related to 
these past events of non-compliance. The Company's bank has also agreed to 
renegotiate covenants in light of the recent merger with Sulcus Hospitality 
Technologies Corp. (see note 13). The Company has classified the long-term 
portion of the term loan as non-current based on the expectation that the 
future covenants will be met.

         Long-term debt at December 31, 1998 consists of:

         Included in the December 31, 1998 and 1997 amounts outstanding on the
line of credit are approximately $960,000 and $560,000 respectively, of
disbursements outstanding that were financed by the line of credit as they were
presented for payment after year-end.

10.  SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

         The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings and retirement plan which is
available to all eligible employees. Under the plan, the Company may make a
discretionary matching contribution. Discretionary matching contributions were
approximately $101,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, $52,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and $9,700 for the nine-month transition period
ended December 31, 1996.

11.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

         The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information in 1998. Prior to 1998 the Company operated
in only one segment and accordingly, no segment information is applicable for
these periods. With the acquisition of the Encore Group in 1998, the Company
began to operate in two segments.

         Network Services: The Network Services Division is comprised of 
         regional offices that provide networking equipment and services
         to customers throughout North America. The Network Services 
         Division also encompasses the Company's Network Operations Center.

         Hospitality: The Hospitality Division provides software and services to
         the hospitality industry. The Division is primarily comprised of the
         Encore Group acquired in September 1998.

         The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as 
those described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The 
Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on income 
before income taxes, intangibles amortization, interest income and expense 
and corporate expenses. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.

         Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable
segments is shown in the following table:
