A Message to All SOFTECH and WTC Shareholders; SofTech Response to Workgroup Technology Corporation Announcement of April 10, 2002.

Business Editors

TEWKSBURY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2002

SofTech, Inc. (OTCBB:SOFT) today provided a status report on the efforts and progress to date in engaging Workgroup Technology Corporation (Nasdaq:WKGP) ("WTC") in meaningful discussions possibly leading to the acquisition of WTC by SofTech.

As background, SofTech announced on April 5, 2002 in a filing on Form 13-D with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it had acquired a 10.1% stake in WTC with the intent of engaging WTC management in a negotiation regarding the acquisition by SofTech of the remaining shares of WTC that it did not own. SofTech stated in the filing that it was willing to pay substantially more than the amount proposed previously by Rocket Software.

In March 2002, Rocket Software had offered $1.50 in cash for the 86% of WTC it did not own. Robert Ashton, a 26% shareholder of WTC, had informed the company that he supported the proposal by Rocket to either sell WTC for $1.50 or find a higher bidder.

On March 20, 2002, WTC announced that it rejected Rocket Software's offer of $1.50 in cash. On April 10, 2002, WTC announced that it wasn't prepared to enter into any negotiations with SofTech but that its Board of Directors was going to "undertake a broad strategic review of the Company's (WTC's) options".

Numerous efforts by SofTech to enter into a discussion/negotiation with the WTC management and/or its Directors since the filing on April 5, 2002 have been fruitless.

Joe Mullaney, President and COO of SofTech, Inc., had the following comments regarding this situation.

"The response by the WTC management and Board of Director's is unacceptable to SofTech as a significant WTC shareholder. For a company that has lost nearly $38 million over the last 22 consecutive fiscal quarters (quarters ended September 1996 through December 2001) to state to a majority of its shareholders that they (the management and Directors) have no interest in any discussion and that they prefer to stay with their "business plan" is completely illogical to me. The WTC management and Directors do not own one share of WTC stock among them. I ask the simple question - Whose interests are they looking out for?

The canned response included in the WTC press release of April 10, 2002 that they will "undertake a broad strategic review of the Company's options" begs the obvious question as to what they have been doing since Mr. Kareiva took over in September 1999. It was also most telling that the April 10, 2002 WTC press release made no mention of the interests of WTC shareholders as had the March 20, 2002 WTC press release whereby the Rocket Software offer was rejected. During Mr. Kareiva's tenure the company has incurred operating losses totaling $13.1 million (through December 2001) in each of its nine reported fiscal quarters. Since taking the helm, Mr. Kareiva has received more than $1.0 million in cash compensation.

SofTech is currently reviewing all of its alternatives regarding the proposal to acquire WTC. Our view today is that WTC management will need a dramatic and sustained push from its shareholders to get them off their comfortable seats in Burlington.

To all WTC shareholders, I ask you to become active. Contact Messrs. Kareiva, Catalano, Phillips and McConnell and let them know what you want. Please also let them know if you support staying with Mr. Kareiva's "business plan" or seeking an alternative. Copy me on all your communications and I will be happy to summarize and publicize the results."
