NET INCOME 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 month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as
follows:

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

                             CAM DATA SYSTEMS, INC.

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

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUES for the three months ended December 31, 1999, increased 18% to
$6,639,000, consisting of a 23% increase in system revenues, and a 1% increase
in service revenues compared to the three months ended December 31, 1998. The
increase in system was a result of an increase in sales to existing customers
for the quarter, plus an increase in sales to new customers from the Retail Star
product. Service revenues were relatively flat due to the Company's choice to
discontinue certain hardware service contracts, which were not deemed
profitable.

GROSS MARGIN for the three months ended December 31, 1999, was 46%, compared to
41% for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Gross margin on system
revenues increased to 46%, for the three months ended December 31, 1999,
compared to 38% for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Gross margin for
service revenue was 46% for the three months ended December 31, 1999, compared
to 53% for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The margin increase in
system revenues was a result of higher margins on hardware sales. The decrease
in gross margin for service revenue is related to the increase in labor costs
due to the staffing of open positions for customer service personnel.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES expressed as a percentage of net
revenues increased for the three month period ended December 31, 1999, to 37%,
compared to 33% for the three month period ended December 31, 1998. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1999, increased 32% to $2,445,000 from the three months ended December 31, 1998.
The increase was related to increases in marketing expenses, commission expenses
related to higher sales, and payroll expenses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE increased 41% to $346,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 1999, from $245,000 for the same period in the prior
year. The increase for the period was attributed to higher payroll expense
related to increased staffing of R & D personnel.

INCOME TAXES, the effective tax rate was 35% for the three months ended December
31, 1999, compared to 40%, for the three month period ended December 31, 1998.
This decrease was based on the revised annual rate for fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,114,000 on December 31, 1999,
compared to $5,049,000 on September 30, 1999. The Company used $526,000 for
operations, and expended $141,000 for fixed assets and the capitalization of
software, and received proceeds of $732,000 from the exercise of stock options.
This was compared to the generation of $388,000 from operations, and the
utilization of $241,000 for the purchase of fixed assets and capitalized
software for the three months ended December 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 COMPLIANCE

We developed a plan to modify our information technology to recognize the year
2000, and we converted our critical data processing systems. We completed this
project for a cost of $30,000. This figure included internal costs, but excluded
the costs to upgrade and replace systems in the normal course of business. There
have been no adverse effects on our Company from any Year 2000 compliance
related issues, nor are any anticipated in the future.
