                                AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Partners of
TXN Solution Integrators

We have audited the balance sheet of TXN Solution Integrators (A Partnership) as
at September 30, 1995 and the statements of income, partners' capital and
changes in financial position for the year then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Partnership, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Partnership as at September 30, 1995 and
the results of its operations and the changes in its financial position for the
year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in 
Canada.
