                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods
ended April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996 are unaudited and reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and operating results for the interim period.  The condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1997.  The results of operations for the three months ended April
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal
year ending January 31, 1998.


NOTE 2 - LINE OF CREDIT

STI has a $1,800,000 line of credit available from a bank as of April 30, 1997
and January 31, 1997, respectively.  The note bears interest on the unpaid
principal balances at an interest rate per annum equal to the bank's prime rate
plus .25%.  As of April 30, 1997 and January 31, 1997 the outstanding draws
against the lines were $1,215,116 and $182,000, respectively.  The prime rate at
April 30, 1997 and January 31, 1997 was 8.50% and 8.25%, respectively.  All
accounts receivable, equipment, furniture and fixtures of STI are pledged as
collateral on the line of credit.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding at April
30, 1997 and January 31, 1997 was 8.63% and 8.50%, respectively.


NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has outstanding purchase commitments of $ 1,711,531 and $1,622,159
as of April 30, 1997 and January 31, 1997, respectively.  These represent
outstanding purchase orders for which neither the item nor invoice has been
received.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations.

     The following is management's discussion and analysis of (i) the
consolidated financial condition as of April 30, 1997 compared with the fiscal
year ended January 31, 1997, and (ii) the consolidated results of operations
for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, of Exigent International,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Exigent").  It should be read together
with Exigent's Form 10-K for fiscal year 1997.

     Liquidity.  As of April 30, 1997, Exigent's ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 2.0 which is comparable to 1.9 for the year ended
January 31, 1997.  The quick liquidity ratios were also comparable at 1.7 and
1.6 for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and year ended January 31, 1997,
respectively.

     Exigent's cash portfolio (cash and cash equivalents) decreased $(428,705)
at April 30, 1997. The decrease is due to: cash used in operating activities of
$(943,553), cash used in investing activities of $(449,768) and cash provided by
financing activities of $964,616. The cash used in operating activities
decreased primarily due to an increase in cash due from customers and a decrease
in accounts payable.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities
increased due to drawing on the line of credit to reduce the accounts payable
and to fund research and development.  Exigent's cash portfolio increased
$1,213,658 at April 30, 1996.  The increase is due to:  cash provided by
operating activities of $992,598, cash used in investing activities of
$(532,815) and cash provided by financing activities of $753,875.  The increase
in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to a smaller receivable
balance in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1998 due
mainly to timing of collections.

     In the three months ended April 30, 1997 Exigent acquired $103,123 of
capital assets compared to $481,361 in the three months ended April 30, 1996.
This was due primarily to Exigent acquiring capital assets in the first quarter
of 1997, specifically computing resources, required under commercial contracts
obtained by Exigent during that period.  Capital for equipment purchases is
expected to slow for the next two fiscal years as Exigent has now modernized and
acquired sufficient computer resources for expected operations.  In the three
months ended April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996, Exigent has also spent $346,645
and $40,056, respectively, in capitalized research and development costs to
develop new products.  The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998
resulted from costs incurred in developing FotoTag(TM) and developing product
enhancements.

       General and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30,
1997 were $1,270,791, 18% or $195,008 higher than expenses of $1,075,783 for the
three months ended April 30, 1996.  This increase resulted mainly from a $54,000
increase in marketing costs, a $66,000 increase in administrative costs and a
$38,000 increase in travel costs.  Management believes existing cash, funds
generated by operations and the available line of credit will be sufficient to
meet Exigent's operating and debt service requirements in fiscal year 1998.

     Analysis of Operations.  Sales for the three months ending April 30, 1997
were $8,114,034, up 14% from sales of $7,110,664 for the three months ended
April 30, 1996.  The breakdown between government and commercial sales for each
of the three month periods follows:

     Gross profit was consistent at $1,784,532 (22.0% of sales) compared to
$1,485,434 (20.9% of sales) for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and April
30, 1996, respectively.  Net income remained consistent at $288,548 (3.6% of
sales) for the three months ended April 30, 1997 with $231,663 (3.3% of sales)
for the three months ended April 30, 1996.

     Fiscal year 1995 saw Software Technology, Inc. ("STI"), Exigent's wholly
owned and primary operating subsidiary, obtain its first significant commercial
contracts from Motorola, Inc. when it was engaged to provide satellite ground
station software for a constellation of satellites that will provide a direct
link with portable handsets for worldwide cellular telephone service.  The
Motorola multi year contract allowed STI to leverage its technology into the
commercial arena.  In fiscal year 1996, STI repeated this feat by winning a
contract to provide similar software for the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS)
System.  With these two contracts, STI is involved in the two premier satellite
endeavors taking place today.

     The current contract base provides sufficient backlog to maintain STI
through fiscal year 1998. The backlog as of April 30, 1997 for commercial and
government contracts was $28,056,843. STI invested in excess of $2,000,000 over
the last two years in its premier software product OS/COMET.  This investment
facilitated the significant contract awards that management believes would have
been impossible otherwise.  Commitment to maintain support for the product will
continue through fiscal year 1998 and is necessary to deliver the services under
contract.

     STI continued development on a new commercial software product FotoTag(TM),
and has invested approximately $150,000 during fiscal years 1997 and 1998.
Management is committed to support the development of this product which will
continue through fiscal year 1998.  Exigent has formed FotoTag, Inc. as a wholly
owned subsidiary and STI transferred the FotoTag software into the new company
on May 1, 1997.

     Exigent completed expansion of its corporate headquarters in February of
1996 and has already begun the planning for another expansion to the
headquarters during fiscal year 1998 to facilitate its increased commercial
activity.  These increased facility costs should not affect Exigent's overhead
as these increases were made to accommodate existing needs and not future
expansion.  The commercial satellite business is projected to continue with
strong sales worldwide and is expected to show moderate increases throughout the
end of the decade, providing additional opportunities for Exigent.

     Demand for software engineers is expected to provide new opportunities for
Exigent, but will place a premium on the efforts to retain the current work
force.  This risk will put additional pressure on overall payroll costs, but
should be an industry wide phenomenon.  Management believes that benefits

its workforce.  Overhead costs for benefits should remain flat and maintain the
same percentage of wages for fiscal year 1998.  Management believes it is
important that Exigent not reduce benefits while the software engineer demand

and will continue to be so in the near future. Maintaining Exigent's
comprehensive benefit plan will also facilitate its ability to sustain an
effective recruiting campaign.
