SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NONCASH INVESTING
 AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

At January 31, 1996 the Company had accrued $1,375,959 in bonus and ESOP
payments. The Company paid $175,188 of this amount in cash during the nine
months ended October 31, 1996. In addition, the Company issued 46,986 shares of
treasury stock at a cost of $4.25 per share for accrued bonuses of $199,690 and
38,600 shares of treasury stock at a cost of $4.25 per share for the ESOP
payable of $164,050. The remaining balance $837,031, representing the difference
between the cost and market value of the treasury stock issued, was recorded as
additional paid in capital when the shares were issued.

On May 29, 1996 the Company accrued a $260,285 bonus and issued 18,552 shares of
treasury stock at a cost of $4.25 per share, or $78,846, for bonus and
management incentive awards. The Company's stock was valued at $14.03 on the
date of the issuance; therefore, the difference between cost and market of
$181,439 was recorded as additional paid in capital.

These activities and valuations occurred prior to the stock for stock exchange 
which was effective on January 30, 1997.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month and three
month periods ended October 31, 1997 and October 31, 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 periods. 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 nine months ended October
31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal
year ending January 31, 1998.


NOTE 2 - LINE OF CREDIT

STI had a $1,800,000 line of credit available from a bank as of October 31, 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 October 31, 1997 and January 31, 1997 the outstanding draws
against the lines were $0 and $182,000, respectively.  The line of credit was
renewed effective August 15, 1997.  The prime rate at October 31, 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.

An additional line of credit was entered into for $500,000 to fund the startup
expenses associated with the new FotoTag/TM/ entity. This note will bear the
same terms as the previously discussed line of credit. The note was signed in
August with an effective date of June 15, 1997. No amounts have been drawn as of
October 31, 1997.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding at
October 31, 1997 and January 31, 1997 was 8.69% and 8.50%, respectively.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT

In August 1997 the Company entered into a term loan of $800,000 for the purchase
of capital equipment. The note bears interest at an interest rate per annum
equal to the bank's prime rate plus .375% which was 8.875% at October 31, 1997.
The maturity date of the loan is three years from closing and monthly payments
began on September 15, 1997. The maturity schedule for this note follows:

                                       9

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company had outstanding purchase commitments of $580,583 and $1,622,159 as
of October 31, 1997 and January 31, 1997, respectively. These represent
outstanding purchase orders for which neither the item nor invoice has been
received.

The Company entered into an additional lease of facilities in Colorado Springs,
Colorado during June 1997. This additional space is required to satisfy
anticipated market requirements.

In August 1997 the Company entered into an operational lease for additional
current and future computing resources. The lease has a credit line of $600,000
and covers computer hardware and software, LAN equipment and furniture. The term
of the lease is three years from the execution date of each increment. At the
date of closing the Monthly Equivalent Lease Rate Factor ("MELRF") of 0.2859 may
be adjusted upward in direct relation with any movement of the average yield of
equally maturing U.S. Treasury Notes as quoted in the Wall Street Journal from a
base rate of 5.75%.

During August 1997 the Company entered into employment agreements with key
directors and officers of Exigent. Under these agreements the employees are
entitled to eighteen months of pay under certain termination conditions. The
potential liability is in the $0 to $325,000 range. The actual liability, if
any, is unknown at this time given that it is contingent on employees separating
from employment with the Company. Therefore no liability has been accrued for
these contracts. In addition there are 600,000 stock options which are
exercisable at $2.25 per share.

NOTE 5 - RECLASSIFICATION

Fringe and overhead expenses previously included in the July 31, 1997 quarterly
report have been reclassified to general and administrative expenses to ensure
comparability with the January 1997 annual report.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per
share include options available in two separate option plans. The dilutive
effect on the Primary EPS as well as the Fully Diluted EPS is $0.01 per share.



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 October 31, 1997 as compared with the fiscal year
ended January 31, 1997; and (ii) the consolidated results of operations for the
nine months and the three months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, of Exigent
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively "Exigent").  It should be
read together with Exigent's annual report or Form 10-K for fiscal year 1997.

Liquidity. As of October 31, 1997, Exigent's ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 2.5 compared to 2.0 for the year ended January 31, 1997. The
quick liquidity ratios were up slightly to 2.2 from 1.7 for the nine months
ended October 31, 1997 versus the year ended January 31, 1997, respectively.
These increases in the ratios were due to the reduction in the line of credit
and the reduction in accounts payable in the first nine months of fiscal year
1998.

Exigent's cash portfolio (cash and cash equivalents) increased $436,597 at
October 31, 1997. The increase was due to cash provided in operating activities
of $1,682,314, cash used in investing activities of $(1,634,932) and cash
provided in financing activities of $389,215. Exigent's cash portfolio decreased
$(236,904) at October 31, 1996. The decrease was due to cash used in operating
activities of $(9,497), cash used in investing activities of $(844,530) and cash
provided by financing activities of $617,123. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities from October 31, 1996 to October 31, 1997 was primarily the
result of a lower receivable balance in the first nine months of fiscal year
1998 when compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 1997 due to the
timing of collections as well as an increase in the earnings after tax. The
increase in cash used for investing activities was due to two product
developments currently underway.

In the nine months ended October 31, 1997, Exigent acquired $137,061 of capital
assets compared to $727,017 in the nine months ended October 31, 1996. This was
due primarily to the wholly owned subsidiary, Software Technology, Inc. ("STI"),
acquiring capital assets in the first half of fiscal year 1997, specifically
computing resources, required under commercial contracts obtained by STI during
that period. Capital for equipment needs is expected to continue, as Exigent
remains current with modern computing technologies. This expansion will be
funded in part through an operating lease set up for a period of three years
from receipt of each piece of equipment drawn against the funding limit of
$600,000.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
For the period ended October 31, 1997, Exigent had drawn down $250,000 against
this line of credit. In the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and October 31,
1996, Exigent also spent $1,497,871 and $117,513, respectively, in capitalized
research and development costs to develop new products. The increase in the
first nine months of fiscal year 1998 resulted from costs incurred in developing
FotoTag/TM/ and developing product additions for the OS/COMET/TM/ product
family. Exigent used $182,000 of cash during the first nine months of fiscal
year 1998 to reduce its line of credit and increased its long-term debt by
$800,000, offset by payments against long term debt of $248,775, to fund the
research products. For the first nine months of fiscal year 1997, Exigent
borrowed $800,000 under the line of credit to fund the costs of going public and
reduced long-term debt by $182,877.
 
There is a change in the classification of general and administrative expenses
from the previous quarterly report. Fringe and overhead expenses previously
included in general and administrative expenses are now reflected in cost of
goods sold. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
October 31, 1997 were $4,513,068, 24% or $868,714 higher than expenses of
$3,644,354 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996. This increase resulted
mainly from a $289,000 increase in professional fees, financial public relations
costs, and other business expenses related to regulatory filings, a $120,000
increase in recruiting costs, and an increase in the general and administrative
labor expenses of $474,000 commensurate with the growth in revenue. Management
believes existing cash, funds generated by operations and the available line of
credit will be sufficient to meet Exigent's current operating and debt service
requirements through fiscal year 1998.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996. Sales
for the nine months ending October 31, 1997 were $25,912,356 up 14% from sales
of $22,763,366 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996 due in large part to
growth in the government contracts. The breakdown between government and
commercial sales for each of the nine-month periods follows:

Gross profit was up slightly at $6,061,406 (23.4% of sales) compared to
$4,836,433 (21.3% of sales) for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 and
October 31, 1996, respectively. Net income was up significantly at $919,221

Results of Operations for the three months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996.

Gross profit was consistent at $2,261,681 (25% of sales) compared to $2,006,336
(24% of sales) for the three months ended October 31, 1997 and October 31, 1996,
respectively. Net income was down slightly at $271,464 (3.0% of sales) for the
three months ended October 31, 1997 versus $293,731 (3.5% of sales) for the
three months ended October 31, 1996. This slight decrease was due to the
increase in the indirect expenses during this fiscal year.

Analysis of Operations. Fiscal year 1995 saw Exigent's wholly owned and primary
operating subsidiary, STI 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, Inc. 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 October 31, 1997 for commercial and
government contracts was $19,266,702 of which $2,695,541 is unfunded. STI
invested in excess of $2,500,000 over the last two years in its premier software
product OS/COMET/TM/. This investment facilitated the significant contract
awards that management believes would have been impossible otherwise. The 
Company is committed to continued support of this product.

Exigent continued development on a new commercial software product, FotoTag/TM/,
and has invested approximately $350,000 over the last two fiscal years.
Management is committed to support the development of this product, which is
planned to continue through the end of fiscal year 1998.

Exigent completed expansion of its corporate headquarters in February of 1996
and has signed a lease on a new building, currently under construction, to
further expand its Florida facilities due to increased contract activity. It is
anticipated the current expansion will be complete late in fiscal year 1998. In
addition, Exigent signed a lease in June of 1997 to accommodate program
requirements in Colorado Springs, Colorado. These increased facility costs
should not affect Exigent's overhead as these increases were made to accommodate
existing needs. The commercial satellite business is projected to continue with
strong sales worldwide and is expected to show increases throughout the end of
the decade, providing additional opportunities for Exigent.

                                      13
<PAGE>
 
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 is
an industry wide phenomenon. Management believes that benefits offered by
Exigent remain above the level of its competition and should help to stabilize
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. To do so and hold costs stable has
been a management challenge 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.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Exigent does not have any market risk sensitive instruments.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities.

There have been no changes in the instruments defining the rights of holders of
any class of securities of Exigent or material limitations or qualifications of
the rights evidenced by any class of securities of Exigent.

On June 11, 1997, Exigent adopted an incentive stock option plan under which
options to purchase Exigent Common Shares have been granted to certain of its
management. The options were granted to employees in return for services and
entitle the employee to purchase Common Shares for $2.25 per share for thirty-
six months from June 11, 1997. Options to purchase up to 600,000 Common Shares
have been granted to ten employees. Exigent claimed an exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 due to the small
number and nature of the employees involved. The Common Shares underlying the
options have been registered on Form S-8.

In connection with certain financing, Exigent is prohibited from declaring or
paying dividends in excess of the lesser of 25% of net income or $100,000
without prior approval by the lender.
