favor of each of the proposals listed.

Revocability of Proxies

A stockholder who executes and returns the accompanying form of Proxy may revoke
it at any time prior to its being voted by signing another form of Proxy bearing
a later date, or by signing a written notice of revocation and, in either case,
delivering the Proxy or notice to the Secretary of the Company by mail prior to

Proposals of stockholders of the Company which are intended to be presented to
such stockholders at the Company's next Annual Meeting must be received by the

Annual Report

The Company's 2000 Annual Report covering Form 10-KSB accompanies this Proxy
Statement.

Outstanding Voting Securities

Only holders of record of the Company's Common Stock, no par value, ("Common
Stock") on April 24, 2001 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to
vote at the meeting or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. On April 24,
2001 the Company had issued and outstanding 6,249,928 shares of Common Stock.

Voting of Shares

Every stockholder voting for the election of directors may cumulate such
stockholder's votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number
of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the
stockholder's shares are entitled, or distribute such stockholder's votes on the
same principle among as many candidates as the stockholder may select, provided
that votes cannot be cast for more than seven (7) candidates. However, no
stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes unless the candidate's name has
been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the stockholder has expressed
an intention to cumulate votes. In the event of cumulative voting, the Proxy
holder intends to cast the votes covered by the Proxy in such manner, as he
believes will result in the election of as many of the nominees selected on the
Proxy as possible.

CHANGE OF CONTROL

On October 18, 2000, Datamatics Technologies Limited ("Datamatics"), which
already owned 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company, concluded the
purchase of an aggregate of 2,018,174 shares of common stock of the Company, at
a purchase price of $0.47 per share ($948,542 in the aggregate) from Tallard
Infologix, N.V., a Netherlands corporation ("Infologix"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tallard, B.V., and from Maida Vale Limited, a British Virgin
Islands company ("Maida Vale") The purchase was made pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of September 12, 2000, by and among Datamatics,
Infologix and Maida Vale (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement, Maida Vale acquired an additional 1,034,181 shares of common
stock of the Company on October 18, 2000, upon conversion of a convertible
promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 issued in June 2000 by the
Company to Maida Vale.

Under a separate Voting Agreement dated as of September 12, 2000 (the "Voting
Agreement"), Infologix and Maida Vale have agreed that, subject to certain
conditions, Maida Vale will be obligated to vote such shares of the Company as
they may own, for a period of two years from the date of the Voting Agreement,
in accordance with Datamatics' instructions as to the election of directors
nominated by Datamatics. Under the Voting Agreement, Datamatics, subject to
certain conditions, will be obligated to vote all of the shares of Common Stock
it holds, for a period of two years from the date of the Voting Agreement, in
accordance with Maida Vale's instructions as to the election of one director
nominated by Maida Vale. In addition, the Voting Agreement will require Maida
Vale to vote all of its shares of Common Stock in accordance with Datamatics'
instructions, for a period of two years from the date of the Voting Agreement,
in the case of the following potential transactions that require shareholder
votes to be taken: (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets;
(ii) the acquisition of the Company by another corporation or entity by
consolidation, merger or other reorganization in which the holders of the
Company's outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own,
immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty
percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving
such transaction, or any other consolidation, merger or other reorganization
involving the Company; (iii) the liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or similar
transaction of the Company; (iv) the amendment or proposed amendment of the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, provided that such amendment
or proposed amendment does not adversely affect the rights of Infologix or Maida
Vale; (v) the reincorporation of the Company in a jurisdiction other than
California; and (vi) any matter relating to the Company's European operations.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Datamatics made a commitment to loan to the
Company not less than $550,000 to finance the Company's anticipated working
capital needs. The $550,000 loan to the Company from Datamatics was made on
October 3, 2000, pursuant to a convertible promissory note. The note is due
September 25, 2001, and bears interest at 2% above the prime rate. Upon
conversion Datamatics would acquire that number of shares of common stock of the
Company as is equal to the quotient of a fraction, the numerator of which is the
balance of principal and unpaid interest, and the denominator of which is a
conversion price of thirty-six cents ($0.36) per share. Datamatics has the right
at any time to convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company. As
of April 24, 2001, the conversion rate would result in the issuance of 1,621,244
shares being issued to Datamatics upon conversion of the full principal amount
and unpaid interest on the note.

On April 11, 2001, Datamatics purchased an additional 310,000 shares of common
stock from the Company at a purchase price of $0.30 per share (or an aggregate
of $93,000).

As a result of the foregoing transactions, Datamatics has sole or shared voting
control (excluding shares that might be issued in the future upon conversion of
the convertible promissory note held by Datamatics) over an aggregate of
3,562,355 (57%) shares of the Company's shares issued and outstanding at April
24, 2001 Assuming full conversion of the convertible note, Datamatics' aggregate
beneficial ownership as of April 24, 2001, would cover an aggregate of 5,183,599
shares (65.86%) of the Company's common stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 26, 2001 Saztec Europe Limited a wholly owned subsidiary of Saztec
International Inc. filed a petition for liquidation under section 122 (a) of the

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consists of two directors who are

standards of the NASDAQ. The members of the Audit Committee are: Tom W. Olofson

purpose of overseeing management's responsibilities for accounting internal
controls and financial reporting. After meeting with the independent auditors to
review the scope of the audit, the annual fees, and the planned scope of future
audits, the Audit Committee recommends the appointment of an independent
certified public accounting firm, subject to the Board's approval, for the
following fiscal year. The Report of the Audit Committee, which appears below,
and the Audit Committee Charter, which appears in Appendix A, more fully
describe the activities and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The

Company's key employees. The Company does not have a Nominating Committee.

Report of The Audit Committee

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors held one meeting. The Audit Committee acts under a written Charter
first adopted and approved in 2000. In accordance with the Charter, the Audit
Committee is responsible for providing independent and objective oversight of
the Company's accounting functions, internal controls and financial reporting.
The Audit Committee also reviews and reassesses the Charter annually and adopts
any amendments necessary to reflect changes in regulatory policies or its
responsibilities. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to this
Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

During 2000, the Audit Committee reviewed the audit plan and audit scope of the
independent auditors, Grant Thornton LLP. The Audit Committee discussed the
quality and adequacy of the Company's internal controls with management and the
independent auditors. These discussions included a review of the results of the
external audit recommendations. In addition, the Audit Committee retained the
independent auditors to perform non-audit services. In doing so, the Audit
Committee felt assured that these non-audit services would not impact the
independence of the independent auditors.

The aggregate fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP for professional services
rendered for the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended
June 30, 2000 and the interim reviews of the financial statements included in
the Company's Forms 10-Q for its fiscal year 2000 were approximately $55,000.

The aggregate fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP for services rendered for fiscal
year 2000, other than services reported under audit fees above, were
approximately $10,000, for tax services.

In discharging its oversight responsibility regarding the audit process, the
Audit Committee obtained a written statement from the independent auditors
describing all relationships between the auditors and the Company that might
bear on their independence, consistent with Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1 "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees." In addition,
the Audit Committee discussed with the auditors any relationships that may
impact their objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the
auditors' independence. The Audit Committee also discussed and reviewed with the
independent auditors all communications required by generally accepted auditing
standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61,
"Communication with Audit Committees."

Management is responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial
statements and the independent auditors are responsible for the audit of those
statements. In fulfilling its responsibilities for the financial statements for
fiscal year 2000, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements
of the Company, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, with management and
independent auditors. Based on the reviews with management and the independent
auditors discussed above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the
Company's audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, for filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
