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

OVERVIEW

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion
may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in this section, as well as in the sections included
in the Form 10-K Annual Report previously filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission entitled "Competition", "Proprietary Rights", and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation".

On May 24, 1996, a three-for-two stock split was effected by means of payment of
a stock dividend with respect to all of the Company's Common Stock outstanding
on May 10, 1996.  All shares numbers and prices in this report have not been
adjusted to give effect to the stock dividend.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1996

REVENUES

Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 of $12.6 million increased
45% over revenues of $8.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Product
revenue increases of $2.5 million, which represents an increase of 41%, resulted
primarily from the increase in sales and marketing activities generated by the
addition of 14 new sales representatives since the first quarter of fiscal year
1996 and increasing market acceptance of the Company's new flagship product,
Tornado. Sales under a minimum guarantee agreement with Innotech Corporation,
one of the Company's three master distributors and joint venture partners in
Japan, amounted to approximately $.56 million. No significant product revenues
were received from Innotech in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.


                                          7



Increases in service revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 amounting to approximately $1.4 million, which
represents an increase of 52%, were due to an increased number of customers
under maintenance agreements and to increases in consulting and custom software
design services.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

The overall cost of products and services as a percentage of total revenues was
consistent at 21% for both first quarter fiscal year 1996 and the same period
fiscal year 1997.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of sales from 45% in
the first of quarter of fiscal 1996 to 41% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
However, in gross dollars, selling and marketing expenses for the same periods
increased $1.2 million. The decrease in the percentage was due to revenue
increasing at a faster rate than sales and marketing costs. The increase in
overall dollar costs resulted primarily from increases in sales personnel and
commissions and increases in marketing and advertising programs.  Management
expects to continue investing heavily in sales and marketing over the current
year to expand its customer base and successfully introduce new products.

Product development and engineering expenses, which consist primarily of
personnel costs, decreased slightly as a percentage of sales from 14% to 13% for
first quarter of fiscal year 1996 and 1997, respectively; however, in gross
dollars, product development and engineering expenses for the same periods
increased $.36 million.  The decrease in percentage is due to revenue increasing
at a higher rate than engineering expenses.  The Company believes it will be
necessary to make significant investments in engineering and product development
for the foreseeable future.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company typically charges a one-time fee for a development license and a
run-time license fee for each copy of the Company's operating system embedded in
the customer's product.  A key component of the Company's strategy is to
increase revenue through run-time license fees.  Any increase in the percentage
of revenues attributable to run-time licenses will depend on the Company's
successful negotiation of run-time license agreements and on the successful
commercialization by the Company's customers of the underlying products.  In
addition, the Company has experienced significant period-to-period fluctuations
in revenues and operating results and anticipates that such fluctuations will
continue.  These fluctuations have been caused by a number


                                          8



of factors, including customer buying patterns, product development cycles,
delays in shipments of new products and the timing of significant sales of the
Company's products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 30, 1996, the Company had working capital in excess of $27 million, and
approximately $28 million in cash and short-term investments.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 1997, the Company repurchased and held as
treasury stock 50,000 shares at a cost of $1.5 million. On May 24, 1996, a
three-for-two stock split was effected by means of payment of a stock dividend
with respect to all of the Company's Common Stock outstanding on May 10, 1996.
All shares numbers and prices in this report have not been adjusted to give
effect to the stock dividend.

Management believes that the Company's working capital, cash flow generated from
operations and borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet its  working capital
requirements for planned expansion, product development and capital expenditures
through fiscal 1997.
