  NETWORK SIX SETTLES HAWAII LITIGATION

  Warwick, RI: Network Six, Inc. announced today that it has signed an 
  agreement with the State of Hawaii ("the State") to settle its long-
  standing litigation related to the implementation of an automated child 
  support enforcement system.  Network Six also announced that it has 
  signed an agreement with Complete Business Solutions, Inc. ("CBSI") to 
  settle its litigation related to the same project.  Both agreements are 
  subject to judicial approval, which the parties expect, and both have 
  been approved by Network Six's Board of Directors. 
  
  In 1993, Network Six signed a $20 million contract with the State to 
  install an automated child support enforcement system.  In November 
  1996, the State filed a lawsuit against Network Six for unspecified 
  damages alleging breach of contract.  In January 1997, Network Six 
  filed a counterclaim against the State asserting that the State had 
  breached the contract by demanding that Network Six build a system 
  beyond the scope of the contract.  Network Six filed third party 
  complaints against CBSI, a subcontractor to Network Six on the project, 
  and MAXIMUS, Inc., the contract monitor on the project, alleging 
  several contract and tort claims against these third parties in 
  connection with the project.
  
  The terms of the agreement between Network Six and the State require 
  Network Six to pay the State $1 million over four years.  The agreement 
  between Network Six and CBSI covers the Hawaii litigation and related 
  litigation pending in Rhode Island and requires CBSI to pay Network Six 
  $300,000 immediately.  Network Six's agreements with both the State and 
  CBSI contain provisions whereby no party admits any liability.  
  
  To facilitate this settlement, Lockheed Martin IMS Corporation 
  ("Lockheed"), also a subcontractor to Network Six on the project, 
  agreed to modify certain aspects of a promissory note issued to it by 
  Network Six in 1997.  Lockheed agreed to extend the note's maturity 
  several years, to reschedule favorably certain principal payments and 
  to reduce the interest rate on the remaining principal (about 
  $742,000).
  
  Prior to the settlement, Network Six had assets related to the Hawaii 
  project of $3.46 million and liabilities of $856,000.  After tax 
  considerations are taken into effect, the settlement will result in a 
  reduction of net assets of $1.87 million.  Network Six's after tax 
  earnings, therefore, will be reduced by a one-time charge of $1.87 
  million, or $2.42 per basic and diluted share.  Network Six expects to 
  reflect this in its second quarter financial statements.
  
  Kenneth C. Kirsch, President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased to 
  settle our differences with the State of Hawaii and with CBSI.  
  Moreover, we appreciate Lockheed's agreeing to more flexible terms and 
  amending our note.  We have not released MAXIMUS from the litigation 
  and intend to continue to pursue our significant claims against them."  
  
  Kirsch further stated, "Although our position on the merits of the case 
  is unchanged, it became evident that, with a trial unlikely to take 
  place before the middle of next year, at the earliest, settling the 
  case at this juncture made a lot of sense.  By putting the case behind 
  us, we have not only been relieved of significant attorney's fees and 
  the inherent risks involved in litigation, we believe that we can now 
  turn our undivided attention to implementing our growth strategy.  We 
  are hopeful that this settlement will unlock shareholder value which, 
  we believe, has suffered since Network Six's dispute with the State was 
  announced despite our continued growth in earnings over the last two 
  years."
