ITEM 2.     ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

            Effective  as  of  January  1,  1999,  CFI  ProServices,  Inc.  (the
"Company"), acquired substantially all of the assets of Modern Computer Systems,
Inc.,  a  Minnesota   corporation  ("MCS"),  and  certain  related  corporations
(collectively, the "Assets"). MCS, whose principal executive offices are located
in  Burnsville,  Minnesota,  provides back office  ("host") data  processing and
related services to financial  institutions.  In accordance with the terms of an
Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") executed on January 26, 1999
by the  Company,  MCS,  Ronald  L.  Ingersoll  (the  sole  shareholder  of  MCS,
"Ingersoll"),  and BankServ,  Inc.,  Inasyst,  Inc. and Dealer Computer Systems,
Inc. (all  Minnesota  corporations  owned by Mr.  Ingersoll  either solely or in
joint  tenancy with his spouse,  and  collectively  with  Ingersoll and MCS, the
"Sellers"),  the Company  agreed to pay a combination  of cash and shares of the
Company's  common stock (the "CFI Stock") in the aggregate  amount of $6,550,000
(the  "Purchase  Price") to MCS for the Assets,  and  $100,000 to  Ingersoll  as
consideration for a non-compete agreement.

            The  Agreement  provides  for the payment of the  Purchase  Price as
follows:

            (a) Cash in the  aggregate  net amount of  approximately  $5,400,000
      ($6,000,000 less cash received of approximately $600,000).

            (b) 50,000 shares of CFI Stock,  having an aggregate market value on
      that date equal to approximately $650,000. The CFI Stock is not registered
      and, as such, is a  "restricted  security" as that term is defined in Rule
      144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

            The  Purchase  Price of the Assets  was  determined  by  negotiation
between the Company and Ingersoll.  Prior to entering into the Agreement,  there
was no relationship between the Company and any of the Sellers.

            MCS does not own a  significant  amount  of  assets  categorized  as
property and equipment and MCS leases the  facilities  out of which it currently
operates.  The Company intends that it will continue to utilize these facilities
and  equipment  (primarily  computer  equipment) in the same manner MCS utilized
them prior to the  Company's  acquisition  of the  Assets.  The other  corporate
Sellers do not own any assets  categorized  as property and equipment and do not
lease any operating facilities.

            The Company's acquisition of the Assets was financed through working
capital.  The Company does not expect to borrow any funds in connection with its
payment obligations pursuant to the acquisition.

                                       2


            In connection with this  acquisition,  the Company  believes it will
likely  take a pre-tax  charge in the first  quarter  of 1999  representing  the
value,  to be  determined  by  independent  appraisal,  of  acquired  in-process
research and development.

            The  Agreement is being filed as Exhibit  2.1,  and is  incorporated
into this Current Report on Form 8-K by this reference.

ITEM 7.     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

            (a)  Financial  statements  of  businesses  acquired.  The Company's
acquisition  of the Assets does not qualify as the  acquisition of a significant
business  pursuant  to Item 2,  Instruction  4 of Form 8-K and Rule  11-01(b) of
Regulation S-X. As such,  financial statements are not required pursuant to Rule
3-05(b)(2)(i).

            (b) Pro forma financial  information.  The Company's  acquisition of
the  Assets  does not  qualify  as the  acquisition  of a  significant  business
pursuant  to Item 2,  Instruction  4 of Form 8-K. As such,  pro forma  financial
information is not required pursuant to Rule 11-01 of Regulation S-X.

            (c)   Exhibits.
