                          SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1.    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared by Secure Computing Corporation (the "Company") without audit and
      reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring
      adjustments and accruals) which are, in the opinion of management,
      necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim
      periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with
      the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but omit
      certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the
      statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
      The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
      necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal
      year. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
      with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included
      in the Company's Annual 10-K Report for the year ended December 31, 1997,
      as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
      and its sudsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
      eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements for all periods
      presented have been restated to reflect the pooling of interests of the
      Company and its acquired subsidiaries Secure Computing Canada Ltd.
      (formerly Border Network Technologies Inc.) and Enigma Logic, Inc.

3.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which was adopted on December 31,
      1997. All earnings (loss) per share amounts for all periods have been
      presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128
      requirements. Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the
      average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share
      does not include the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants in a
      loss period as they are anti-dilutive.

4.    RESTRUCTURING

      In the first quarter of 1998, the Company announced plans to implement a
      restructuring plan designed to facilitate further integration of acquired
      businesses, and recorded a pre-tax expense of $7.8 million to account for
      these actions, which include costs of lease terminations, streamlining its
      product offerings and reducing the Company's cost structure to increase
      operational efficiency. The plan will result in the separation of some
      employees worldwide and the exiting of certain facilities.

5.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      In November 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SOP 97-2
      "Software Revenue Recognition" to replace SOP-91-1. The Company adopted
      97-2 in the first quarter of 1998 and it did not materially impact revenue
      recognition for this time period.

      As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement 130, "Reporting
      Comprehensive Income". Statement 130 establishes new rules for the
      reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however,
      the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income
      ore shareholders equity. Statement 130 requires foreign currency
      translation adjustments, which prior to adoption were reported separately
      in shareholders' equity to be included in other comprehensive income.
      Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
      requirements of Statement 130. During the first quarter of 1998 and 1997,
      total comprehensive income amounted to ($7,268) and ($2,961).

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUE. The Company's revenue increased 20.4 percent to $12,775,000 for the
first quarter of 1998 up from $10,609,000 in the same period of 1997. The
increase resulted from higher products and services revenue. Products and
services revenue was $10,265,000 for the quarter, an increase of 60.1 percent
over 1997, and reflects the Company's increased marketing and sales effort in
the commercial arena. Government contracts revenue was $2,510,000 for the
quarter, a decrease of 40.2 percent from 1997, which reflects reduced focus on
government contract business. The Company expects quarterly revenue from
government contracts for the rest of 1998 to remain comparable to the first
quarter of 1998.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 51.6
percent in the first quarter of 1997 to 66.7 percent in 1998. The increase
resulted mainly from software only sales within products and services revenue,
which carry higher margins than sales of systems bundled with hardware and a
decrease in lower margin government contract revenue. The Company believes, with
the leveling in government contracts revenue, that margins for the remainder of
the year should trend higher.

SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expense increased 24.4 percent to
$5,811,000 in the first quarter of 1998 up from $4,670,000 in the same period of
1997. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expense was 45.5 percent
for the quarter compared to 44.0 percent in the same period of 1997. The
increase resulted primarily from expenses for a stronger sales and marketing
presence needed due to competitive pressures, increased international activities
and personnel additions made to position the Company for future growth. The
Company expects selling and marketing expenses for the rest of 1998 will remain
at levels comparable to the first quarter of 1998.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense decreased by 29.7
percent to $1,902,000 in the first quarter of 1998 down from $2,707,000 in the
same period of 1997. As a percentage of revenue, research and development
expense was 14.9 for the quarter compared to 25.5 percent in 1997. The decrease
resulted primarily from savings achieved from integrating duplicative tasks.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. As a percentage of revenue, general and
administrative expenses were 6.1 percent for the first quarter of 1998 compared
to 11.4 percent for the first quarter of 1997. The Company expects the quarterly
rate of general and administrative expenses for the rest of 1998 to remain at
levels comparable to those of the first quarter of 1998.

RESTRUCTURE COSTS. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company announced and began
to implement a restructuring plan designed to facilitate further integration of
acquired businesses, and recorded a pre-tax expense of $7.8 million to account
for these actions, which include streamlining its product offerings and reducing
the unit's cost structure and the exiting of certain facilities. The Company
expects that approximately $4.2 million of the non-recurring charges require
expenditures of cash. A significant portion of the restructuring activities will
be implemented and completed by the end of the third quarter of 1998. The
largest components of the charge will be lease termination costs of
approximately $2.5 million and the write off of related assets of $2.1 million.

NET INTEREST INCOME. The difference in net interest income between the periods
reflects lower cash and investment balances in 1998 as compared to 1997.

INCOME TAXES. The Company recognized an income tax benefit in the first quarter
of 1998 of $357,000 compared to no income tax in 1997. Management believes it is
more likely than not that deferred tax assets, which total $2,761,000 at March
31, 1998, will be realized. The computation of the Company's deferred tax assets
and valuation allowance are based in part on taxable income expected to be
earned on government contracts and projected interest income. The amount of the
deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if
estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $699,000 from December 31,
1997 to March 31, 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from the use of cash to
fund operations and purchase capital equipment, which was partially offset by
the sale of capital assets and proceeds from stock option exercises. As of March
31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $12.9 million. The Company
anticipates using available cash to fund growth in operations, invest in capital
equipment, acquire businesses or license technology or products related to the
Company's line of business, and provide for restructuring activities.

Capital additions in the first three months of 1998 were $575,000 and were
primarily made up of computer equipment, office furniture and leasehold
improvements. The Company expects to invest another $750,000 throughout the
remainder of 1998 mainly for computer equipment and facilities and business
systems upgrades.

At its current level of operations, the Company believes that its existing cash
and cash equivalents are sufficient to meet the Company's current working
capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12
months.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made above, which are summarized below, are forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may be
materially different. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include
those identified below:

*     THE COMPANY EXPECTS THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF ITS REVENUES DERIVED FROM
      PRODUCTS AND RELATED SERVICES WILL INCREASE IN FUTURE YEARS, AS THE
      COMPANY INCREASINGLY FOCUSES ON PRODUCT SALES. Meeting this expectation
      depends upon the Company's ability to achieve a higher level of products
      and services revenue, which may not occur for a variety of reasons,
      including general market conditions for the Company's products and
      services, delays or difficulties in the development, and inability to
      obtain market acceptances of new products offered by the Company, and
      introduction of products by competitors.

*     DURING 1998, THE COMPANY PLANS TO CONTINUE ITS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT,
      GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, AND SALES AND MARKETING EXPENDITURES AT
      CURRENT LEVELS. THE COMPANY EXPECTS THAT OPERATING EXPENSES AS A
      PERCENTAGE OF REVENUES WILL DECLINE IN 1998. This expectation depends on
      the Company maintaining the current anticipated level of product
      development, which may not occur due to unexpected increases in such costs
      or because of a need to accelerate or begin new product development and
      also may be affected by current plans for a full scale product marketing
      and branding campaign being curtailed or delayed or decreased products and
      services revenue resulting in lower selling expense. Fluctuations in
      revenue from quarter to quarter will likely have an increasingly
      significant impact on the Company's results of operations. Additionally,
      meeting this expectation depends upon the Company's ability to control
      costs and achieve a higher level of revenue, which may not occur for a
      variety of reasons, including general market conditions for the company's
      products and services, development and acceptance of new products offered
      by the Company, and introduction of products by competitors.

*     MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT DEFERRED TAX ASSETS,
      WHICH TOTAL $2.8 MILLION AT MARCH 31, 1998, WILL BE REALIZED. This
      expectation depends mainly on the Company maintaining, at current levels,
      its existing government contract business. If these contracts were lost or
      adjusted downward, deferred tax assets would be expected to be written
      down with a corresponding charge to income tax expense recorded.

*     AT ITS CURRENT LEVEL OF OPERATIONS, THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT ITS EXISTING
      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS ARE SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE COMPANY'S CURRENT
      WORKING CAPITAL AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS THROUGH AT LEAST THE
      NEXT 12 MONTHS. The Company's ability to generate revenue as currently
      expected, unexpected expenses and the need for additional funds to react
      to changes in the marketplace, including unexpected increases in personnel
      costs and selling and marketing expenses or currently unplanned
      acquisitions may impact whether the Company has sufficient cash resources
      to fund its product development and marketing and sales plans for the
      remainder of 1998 and early 1999.
