                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all
adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 1997
and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1996 as reported by the Company in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.


         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS:

         In November 1996, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding 
capital stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Corbel & Co. ("Corbel")(excluding
its interest in National Pension Alliance ("NPA")), pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement. The consideration paid to the Company at closing was
approximately $13.5 million, with an additional $.5 million to be paid to the
Company twenty-four months after closing, subject to certain holdback
provisions for indemnification obligations. Also, the Company may be entitled
to receive an earnout payment of up to a maximum of $3.5 million based on
Corbel's revenue in 1997.

         In May 1996, the Company sold substantially all the assets, subject to
certain related liabilities, of its Asset Management Services Group ("AMSG"),
including the Company's wholly owned subsidiary BancCorp Systems, Inc., to
Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company, Inc. ("Fidelity"), pursuant
to an Asset Purchase Agreement. At closing the Company received cash proceeds of
$17.5 million for the net assets and licensing of certain software, net of
certain fees and expenses. The gain on the sale of the business was $8.7
million. An additional $5.5 million was scheduled to be paid by Fidelity to the
Company, subject to certain holdback provisions for indemnification obligations,
over the twenty-four months following the closing for certain software
maintenance, training, and transition services and professional services. These
service agreements were terminated effective December 31, 1996 and at March 31,
1997, $2 million remained to be received subject to such holdback provisions.

</TABLE>


NOTE 4 - SOFTWARE COSTS:

         The Company capitalizes a portion of its costs of developing software 
to be licensed, including costs of product enhancements which improve the
marketability of the original product or extend its life. These capitalized
costs are incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility and
prior to the availability of the software for general release. During the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, approximately $.1 million and
$.1 million of software development costs were capitalized, respectively.
Software costs in the accompanying balance sheet also include the cost of
purchased software. Software costs are generally amortized over the estimated
economic lives of the products, up to a maximum of six years. Accumulated
amortization was $6.7 million and $8.2 million at March 31, 1997 and March 31,
1996, respectively. Amortization expense was approximately $.4 million and $.7
million for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.


NOTE 5 - RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:

         During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company reserved approximately
$1.5 million which consisted of approximately $1.0 million for the consolidation
of certain facilities that were expected to be subleased and approximately $.5
million for employee severance costs. During the first quarter of 1996, the
Company utilized cash of approximately $.3 million to satisfy obligations
related to these reserves and revised its estimate of the remaining costs to
complete the restructuring downward by $.2 million. As of March 31, 1997, the
reserve balance was approximately $.2 million, related principally to employee
severance costs.

          Also, in 1996, the Company reserved approximately $ 2.5 million
related to the exit costs of NPA including $1.3 million for customer refunds,
$.8 million related to asset write-offs, and $.4 million related to employee
terminations. During 1996, $1.3 million, related principally to customer refunds
and asset write-offs had been charged against the reserve. In the first quarter
of 1997, the Company reduced its estimate of the remaining costs to complete the
exit plan of NPA by $.4 million,. and charged $ .1 million against the accrual,
related principally to employee severance. At March 31, 1997, the remaining
accrual of $.6 million is related principally to employee severance costs and 
the disposal of fixed assets.

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

OVERVIEW

                  Broadway & Seymour, Inc. ("Broadway & Seymour" or the
"Company") is an industry-specialized software and services company providing
integrated, information technology-enabled business solutions for the financial
services and professional services markets.

         In May 1996, the Company sold substantially all the assets, subject to
certain related liabilities, of its Asset Management Services Group ("AMSG").
For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, AMSG contributed revenue of $4.4 million
and operating losses were $.9 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the
Company recorded an additional $.4 million of revenue and $.4 million cost of
revenue for certain professional and transition services provided to the
purchaser of AMSG under agreements entered into at the time of the sale. In
November 1996, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of its wholly owned subsidiary, Corbel & Co. ("Corbel"). For the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, Corbel contributed revenue of $4.1 million and operating income
of $.2 million. Also, revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 included $.5
million of revenue related to services provided to the purchaser of the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Software, Inc. ("Liberty"), which was
sold in June 1995.

         In addition, in August 1996, the Company developed a plan to close its
National Pension Alliance ("NPA") business. In the first quarter of 1997, the
operations of NPA ceased and operating losses were $.4 million. For the 
quarter ended March 31, 1996, NPA contributed revenue of $.1 million and
operating losses of $.6 million.

         The financial statements included herein reflect the Company's
unaudited results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
March 31, 1996.


QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO
 QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

         The Company's results reflect operating income of $.6 million for the 
first quarter of 1997 compared with a $1.0 million operating loss for the same
period of 1996. Because of the significant impact of the transactions discussed
above, a comparison of the historical results of operations for the quarter
ending March 31, 1997 to the quarter ending March 31, 1996 may not be
meaningful. The following table has been included to facilitate discussion and
analysis of the results of operations of the Company's ongoing business.

         Net revenue from the Company's ongoing business, excluding NPA,
increased 23%, from $15.7 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $19.3 million
in the first quarter of 1997. Revenue from the Company's Customer and Financial
Solutions group increased $.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1997
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Increases in the Customer and
Financial Solutions group revenue for the quarter of approximately $.7 million
related to increased licenses from the group's software solutions. In addition,
in the first quarter of 1997, the Company recognized $.3 million of license
revenue related to a software application developed for a specific customer. On
a comparative basis, these increases in the first quarter of 1997 were partially
offset by software license revenue of $4.0 recognized in the first quarter of
1996 from a single significant contract, against which the Company recorded
substantially no expense. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded
revenue for consulting services of $3.3 million related to the same contract.
Revenue from the Company's subsidiary, Elite Information Systems, Inc.
("Elite"), increased $3.0 million from the first quarter of 1996 to the first
quarter of 1997. The increase in Elite revenue in 1997 is principally due to the
high level of new contracts signed in the fourth quarter of 1996 to provide
Elite's Windows based time and billing systems. In addition, customer support
revenue has continued to increase as Elite's customer base expands.

         Cost of revenue of the Company's ongoing business, excluding NPA,
increased 23%, or $2.4 million, in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the
first quarter of 1996. Cost of revenue was $12.9 million, or 67% of revenue, and
$10.4 million, or 66% of revenue, for the first quarters of 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase in cost of revenue is consistent with the increase in
revenue discussed above and is due to an increase of $1.5 million related to 
third-party hardware and software purchased for resale and $.5 million related 
to increased personnel costs at Elite.

         Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 1997 and 1996
were net of $.1 million and $.1 million of capitalized software development
costs, respectively. Including capitalized costs, research and development costs
decreased to $1.4 million, or 7% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 1997
compared to $1.9 million, or 7.8% of total revenue, in the first quarter of
1996. This decrease in research and development expenditures is principally due
to the sale of Corbel. Research and development costs incurred in 1997 and 1996
relate to the Company's TouchPoint, CRISP, BANCStar, BANCStar Prism,
VisualImpact, and Elite Billing System solutions. In 1996, research and
development costs were also incurred for Corbel's Quantech and AutoDoc products
and NPA's software.

         General and administrative expenses decreased 17.7% to $2.3 million, or
11.6% of revenue, for the first quarter of 1997 from $2.8 million, or 11.2% of
revenue, for the first quarter of 1996. This decrease is principally due to the
sale of Corbel and AMSG in 1996. General and administrative expenses
attributable to Corbel and AMSG were $.3 million and $.2 million, respectively
in the first quarter of 1996.

         Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1 million to $2.3 million in
the first quarter of 1997 from $3.3 million in the first quarter of 1996. This
decrease is principally due to the sales of Corbel and AMSG in 1996. Corbel and
AMSG incurred sales and marketing expenses of $.6 million and $.7 million,
respectively, of such expenses in the first quarter of 1996.

         In the third quarter of 1996, the Company reserved approximately $2.5
million related to the exit costs of NPA, against which $1.3 million had been
charged in 1996. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company reduced its estimate
of the remaining costs to complete the exit plan of NPA by $.4 million and
charged $.1 million against the accrual, related principally to employee
severance. At March 31, 1997, the remaining accrual of $.6 million is related
principally to employee severance and the disposal of fixed assets.

         During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company reserved approximately
$1.5 million which consisted of approximately $1.0 million for the consolidation
of certain facilities that were expected to be subleased and approximately $.5
million for employee severance costs. During the first quarter of 1996, the
Company utilized cash of approximately $.3 million to satisfy obligations
related to these reserves and revised its estimate of the remaining costs to
complete the restructuring downward by $.2 million. As of March 31, 1997, the
reserve balance is $.2 million, related principally to employee severance costs.

INCOME TAXES

         The Company's provision for income taxes of $.4 million (or 46% of
income before taxes) for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, exceeds the tax
expense at statutory rates due to the permanent differences of non-deductible
goodwill amortization and state income taxes. The Company's income tax benefit
of $.3 million (or 28% of loss before taxes) for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, differs from the tax benefit at statutory rates due to the loss incurred
in the first quarter of 1996 as adjusted for the permanent differences of
non-deductible goodwill amortization and state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $11.7 million and working capital of approximately $17.9 million.
The Company utilized portions of the proceeds from the sales of Corbel and AMSG
to fund working capital requirements, pay off its revolving credit facility,
which expired in May 1996, and certain other debt and to pay certain expenses.
The Company has reviewed its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements and believes that the remaining proceeds from the Corbel and AMSG
sales, cash flow from operations and the issuance of stock pursuant to its
employee stock purchase and stock option plans will be sufficient to fund its
working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the near term. The
Company is reviewing its working capital and capital expenditure requirements
beyond the near term and is evaluating financing alternatives to provide an
additional source of capital.
