NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. Statement 128 replaced the
previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible
securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for
all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to the
Statement 128 requirements. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1999 and March 31,
1998 are as follows:

                             CAM DATA SYSTEMS, INC.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999, AS COMPARED TO
                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

                 SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999, AS COMPARED TO
                         SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUES for the three months ended March 31, 1999, increased 43% to $6.3
million, consisting of a 54% increase in system revenues, and an 8% increase in
service revenues compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net revenues
for the six months ended March 31, 1999, increased 38% to $11.9 million,
consisting of a 48% increase in system revenues, and an 8% increase in service
revenues compared to the six months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in system
revenues was due to an increase in sales to existing customers. Service revenues
increased due to higher consulting services in 1999.

GROSS MARGIN for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1999, was 41%,
compared to 42% for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998. Gross margin
on system revenues decreased to 40% and 39%, for the three months and six months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to 43% and 42% for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1998. Gross margin for service revenue was 47% and 49% for the three
and six months ended March 31, 1999, compared to 42% and 43% for the three and
six months ended March 31, 1998. The margin decrease in system revenues was a
result of a higher mix of hardware sales versus software sales, and higher sales
to existing customers, which yield a lower gross margin. The increase in gross
margin for service revenue is related to the decrease in labor costs due to open
positions for technical support personnel. This trend will stabilize once the
positions are filled.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES expressed as a percentage of net
revenues decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, to 34%,
compared to 39% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
increased 23% to $2.1 million, from the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of net
revenues decreased for the six month period ended March 31, 1999, to 33%,
compared to 39% for the six month period ended March 31, 1998. Selling, general
and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1999, increased
19% to $4 million, from the six months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was
related to increases in bad debt expense, payroll expense, telephone expense,
and commission expense related to higher sales volume.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE decreased 17% to $235,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999, from $284,000 for the same period in 1998. Research
and development expense decreased 16% to $484,000 for the six month period ended
March 31, 1999, from $576,000 for the same period in 1998. The decrease for the
periods was attributed to an overall decrease in Research and development
expenses in 1999.

INCOME TAXES, the effective tax rate was 40% for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1999. There was no income tax expense booked due to the loss for the
six months ended March 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.3 million on March 31, 1999,
compared to $2.8

million on September 30, 1998. The Company generated $1 million from operations,
expended $.5 million for fixed assets and capitalized software development
during the six months ended March 31, 1999, compared to the utilization of
$201,000 for operations, and expended $379,000 for fixed assets and capitalized
software development during the six months ended March 31, 1998.

The Company has no significant commitments for expenditures.

Management believes the Company's existing working capital, coupled with funds
generated from the Company's operations, will be sufficient to fund its
presently anticipated working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Inflation has had no significant impact on the Company's operations.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE
We have developed a plan to modify our information technology to recognize the
year 2000 and we are converting our critical data processing systems. We
currently expect the project to be substantially complete by late summer 1999
and to cost between twenty-five and fifty thousand dollars. This estimate
includes internal costs, but excludes the costs to upgrade and replace systems
in the normal course of business. We do not expect this project to have a
significant effect on operations. As of March 31, 1999, approximately $20,000
has been expended on this project. We will continue to implement systems with
strategic value though some projects may be delayed due to resource constraints.

The Company has relationships with various third parties on whom it relies to
provide goods and services. These include suppliers and vendors. As part of its
determination of Year 2000 readiness, the Company has identified material
relationships with third party vendors, and is in the process of assessing the
status of their compliance through the use of inquiries and review of hardware
and software documentation. Due to the broad diversification of these vendors,
the risk associated with potential business interruption as a result of year
2000 non-compliance by one or more vendors is not considered significant.

It is anticipated that the steps the Company has taken and is continuing to take
to deal with the year 2000 issue will reduce the risk of significant business
interruptions, but there is no assurance that this outcome will be achieved.
Failure to detect and correct all internal instances of non-compliance or the
inability of third parties to achieve timely compliance could result in the
interruption of normal business operations which could, depending on its
duration, have an adverse effect on the Company.

This Item II section contains certain forward looking statements regarding the
Company, its business, liquidity, prospects and results of operations that are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that
could cause the Company's actual business, liquidity, prospects and results of
operations to differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such
forward looking statements. All statements contained herein that are not
historical facts, including but not limited to, statements regarding anticipated
future revenue and expense levels, and capital requirements, and the Company's
ability to generate cash from operations, are forward looking statements based
on current expectations. No assurances can be given that events or results
mentioned in any such forward looking statements will in fact occur. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward looking statements, which
speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation
to revise any forward looking statements in order to reflect events or
circumstances that may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review
and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this report and in
the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
