                          SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   ORGANIZATION

         Secure Computing Corporation ("Secure Computing" or the "Company")
designs, develops, markets and sells a comprehensive offering of interoperable,
standards-based products for end-to-end network solutions, including firewalls,
Web filters, authentication, extranet access control and security related
professional services. Today, the Company enables business security solutions
through its advanced technologies, professional services and partner programs.
The Company's goal is to provide a complete portfolio of integrated enterprise
security solutions for corporate networks. The Company's principal markets are
the United States government and commercial companies for its network security
products and the United States government under development contracts.

2.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Secure Computing 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 consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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, 1998, as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 ("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 or 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 second quarter of 1999 and 1998, total
comprehensive income amounted to ($19,724,000) and $867,000 respectively.

4.   CONVERSION OF  PREFERRED STOCK

         In June 1998, the Company sold 16,000 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $15,432,000, net of $568,000 in transaction costs. In
connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock, the Company also issued
warrants to purchase 174,464 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The warrants
may be exercised until the earlier of June 29, 2001 and a merger involving the
Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity. The exercise price of
the warrants is $11.92. The Preferred Stock is convertible into the number of
shares of Common Stock which may be purchased for the stated value of $1,000 per
share of Preferred Stock at a per share price equal to the lower of a) the
average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days
immediately prior to the date of conversion, b) the average closing bid price of
the Common Stock for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date of
conversion, and c) a fixed conversion price of $19.0035 per share. In the second
quarter of 1999, 4050 shares of the Preferred Stock were converted into
1,004,545 shares of the Company's Common Stock leaving 11,950 outstanding
preferred shares. As of July 12, 1999, 4,150 shares of Series C Preferred remain
outstanding and an additional 7,800 shares of the Series C Preferred were
converted to 2,726,820 shares of the Company's Common Stock in July.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the Company's
expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.
Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the
extent and timing of future revenues and expenses and customer demand.

         All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on
information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and the Company
assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risk factors
detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the
factors identified in Forward Looking Statements below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Significant additional expense charges of $11.7 million in aggregate
are included in the second quarter 1999 income statement. These expenses relate
to product line rationalization, refocusing of the company on e-commerce
products and streamlining the Company's executive management structure. The
following table compares the three months ended June 30, 1999 income statement
items including and excluding the significant additional expense charges:

<PAGE>


REVENUE. The Company's revenue decreased 62.1 percent to $5,510,000 for the
second quarter of 1999 down from $14,525,000 in the same period of 1998.
Products and services revenue was $4,763,000 for the quarter, a decrease of 59.5
percent over 1998, and reflects delays in purchasing decisions based on "Year
2000" concerns and lengthening of sales cycles. The Company expects quarterly
revenue from products and services for the remainder of 1999 to increase from
the second quarter of 1999, however, these levels will be less than that from
the second quarter of 1998. Advanced Technology contract revenue was $747,000
for the quarter, a decrease of 73.0 percent from the second quarter of 1998,
which reflects a reduced focus on government contract business that does not
complement the Company's products and services offerings. The Company expects
quarterly revenue from Advanced Technology contracts for the remainder of 1999
to increase slightly from the second quarter of 1999. This increase is primarily
the result of expected contract awards.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 64.4
percent in the second quarter of 1998 to a negative 49.3 percent in 1999.
Excluding significant charges related to discontinued products, total gross
profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 64.4 percent in the second
quarter of 1998 to 33.6 percent of revenue in 1999. The decrease resulted
primarily from reduced volumes and relatively fixed manufacturing and
amortization costs. The Company believes that gross profit will trend higher for
the remainder of the year as revenues increase.

SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expense increased 73.4 percent to
$9,912,000 in the second quarter of 1999 up from $5,716,000 in the same period
of 1998. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expense was 179.9
percent for the quarter compared to 39.4 percent in the same period of 1998.

Excluding significant charges resulting from discontinued product activities and
severance pay associated with the streamlining of the Company's management
structure, selling and marketing expense increased 2.6 percent to $5,865,000 in
the second quarter of 1999 up from $5,716,000 in the same period of 1998. As a
percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expense was 99.2 percent for the
quarter compared to 39.4 percent in the same period of 1998. The increased
spending levels resulted primarily from increased discretionary marketing
efforts. The Company expects selling and marketing expense to decrease from the
second quarter as a percentage of revenues for the rest of 1999.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense increased 60.8
percent to $2,955,000 in the second quarter of 1999 up from $1,838,000 in the
same period of 1998. As a percentage of revenue, research and development
expense was 53.6 percent for the quarter compared to 12.7 percent in the same
period of 1998.

Excluding significant charges mainly for employee relocation expense, research
and development expense increased 45.5 percent to $2,674,000 in the second
quarter of 1999 up from $1,838,000 in the same period of 1998. As a percentage
of revenue, research and development expense was 45.2 percent for the quarter
compared to 12.7 percent in the same period of 1998. The increased spending
levels resulted primarily from increased investment in quality assurance
activities. The Company expects that research and development expense levels for
the rest of 1999 will remain at levels comparable to those of the second quarter
of 1999.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and Administrative expense increased 201.0
percent to $3,317,000 in the second quarter of 1999 up from $1,102,000 in the
same period of 1998. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative
expense was 60.2 percent for the quarter compared to 7.6 percent in the same
period of 1998.

Excluding significant charges mainly for severance pay associated with the
streamlining of the Company's management structure and litigation settlements,
general and administrative expense increased 37.6 percent to $1,516,000 in the
second quarter of 1999 up from $1,102,000 in the same period of 1998. As a
percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense was 25.7 percent for
the quarter compared to 7.6 percent in the same period of 1998. The increased
spending levels resulted primarily from duplicative executive compensation
during the Company's Chief Executive Officer transition period, additional
investment in the Company's accounting department and increased legal fees
related to current legal proceedings. The Company expects the quarterly general
and administrative expenses for the rest of 1999 to decrease as a percentage of
revenue from the second quarter of 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income was $128,000 in the second quarter of
1999, an increase from $15,000 in the same period of 1998. The increase reflects
higher average cash and investment balances in 1999 as compared to 1998.


                                       8
<PAGE>


INCOME TAXES. The Company recognized an income tax expense in the second quarter
of 1999 of $900,000 compared to an income tax benefit of $260,000 in the same
period of 1998. The expense is a result of anticipated reduced government
contract revenue. The Company's management believes it is more likely than not
that deferred tax assets, which total $2.7 million at June 30, 1999, 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 and short term investments decreased by
$9,644,000 from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The decrease resulted
primarily from the use of cash to fund operations and purchase capital equipment
that was partially offset by proceeds from stock option exercises. As of June
30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $13.1 million as well as an unused
$5 million line of credit. The Company anticipates using available cash to fund
growth in operations, invest in capital equipment, acquire businesses, and to
license technology or products related to the Company's line of business.

Capital additions in the second quarter of 1999 were $443,000 and were primarily
made up of computer equipment, office furniture and leasehold improvements. The
Company expects to invest approximately $750,000 additional throughout the
remainder of 1999 mainly for computer equipment, facilities and business systems
upgrades.

At its current level of operations, the Company believes that it has sufficient
financial resources available to fund the Company's current working capital and
capital expenditure requirements through the end of the fiscal year.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         The Company has completed testing of its products and systems and
believes that its products and systems sold after December 31, 1998 are and will
be Year 2000 compliant. For non-compliant products introduced prior to this
date, we have provided customers with a migration path in the form of an
update/upgrade option. The Company has also verified compliance of third party
computer software and hardware utilized by the Company. The Company has not
verified Year 2000 compliance of certain semiconductors embedded in other
third-party equipment used by the Company, nor has the Company established the
costs and risks associated with such third party equipment.

         Since the Company's Year 2000 compliance verification efforts are
virtually complete, the estimated future expenditures for compliance activities
are insignificant. The Company does not have any contingency plans nor does it
plan on developing one at this time.

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 QUARTERLY REVENUE FROM PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR THE
    REMAINDER OF 1999 TO INCREASE FROM THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1999, HOWEVER,
    THESE LEVELS WILL BE LESS THAN THAT FROM THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1998. 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 acceptance of new products offered by the Company, and introduction
    of products by competitors.

*   THE COMPANY EXPECTS QUARTERLY REVENUE FROM GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS FOR THE
    REMAINDER OF 1999 TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY FROM THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1999. This
    increase is primarily the result of expected contract awards. Meeting this
    expectation depends upon the Company's ability to achieve a higher level of
    government contract revenue, which may not occur for a variety of reasons,
    including an inability to staff engineers to its current contract
    requirements or customer delays or cancellations of contract awards.


                                       9
<PAGE>


*   THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT GROSS PROFIT WILL TREND HIGHER FOR THE REMAINDER
    OF THE YEAR AS REVENUES INCREASE. 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 acceptance of
    new products offered by the Company, and introduction of products by
    competitors.

*   THE COMPANY EXPECTS SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSE TO DECREASE FROM THE
    SECOND QUARTER 1999 AS A PERCENTAGE OF REVENUES FOR THE REST OF 1999. This
    expectation depends on the Company maintaining the current anticipated level
    of selling and marketing expenses, which may not occur due to unexpected
    increases in such costs or because of a need to accelerate a full scale
    product marketing and branding campaign, 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.

*   THE COMPANY EXPECTS THAT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES FOR THE REST OF
    1999 WILL REMAIN AT LEVELS COMPARABLE TO THOSE OF THE SECOND QUARTER OF
    1999. 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. 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.

*   THE COMPANY EXPECTS THE QUARTERLY GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES FOR
    THE REST OF 1999 TO DECREASE AS A PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE FROM THE SECOND
    QUARTER OF 1999. This expectation depends on the Company maintaining the
    current anticipated level of spending which may not occur due to unexpected
    increases in such costs.

*   MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT DEFERRED TAX ASSETS,
    WHICH TOTAL $2,700,000 AT JUNE 30, 1999, WILL BE REALIZED. This expectation
    depends primarily on the Company maintaining, at current levels, its
    existing government contract business. If these contracts are lost or
    adjusted downward, deferred tax assets would be expected to be written down
    with a corresponding charge to income tax expense recorded.

*   THE COMPANY EXPECTS TO INVEST APPROXIMATELY $750,000 ADDITIONAL THROUGHOUT
    THE REMAINDER OF 1999 MAINLY FOR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES AND BUSINESS
    SYSTEMS upgrades. This expectation depends primarily on the Company
    maintaining its current level of investment in property and equipment.
    Unexpected changes in the Company's structure could change the level of
    expenditures.

*   AT ITS CURRENT LEVEL OF OPERATIONS, THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT IT HAS
    SUFFICIENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO FUND THE COMPANY'S CURRENT
    WORKING CAPITAL AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS THROUGH THE END OF THE
    FISCAL YEAR. 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 1999.

*   SINCE THE COMPANY'S YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION EFFORTS ARE VIRTUALLY
    COMPLETE, THE ESTIMATED FUTURE EXPENDITURES FOR COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES ARE
    INSIGNIFICANT. Failure of third-party equipment to operate properly in the
    Year 2000 and thereafter could require the Company to incur unanticipated
    expenses to remedy any problems, which could have a material adverse effect
    on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. The
    company has verified Year 2000 compliance with third party suppliers of the
    components used in its products, however, the company has limited or no
    control over the actions of these third-party suppliers. The failure of
    these suppliers to properly address their internal systems and components
    could cause a material disruption to the Company's business.

    The business, operating results and financial condition of the Company's
    customers could be adversely affected to the extent they utilize third-party
    software and other products that are not Year 2000 compliant. The Company
    does not have nor is it possible to obtain any insurance policy providing
    material coverage for potential injuries or damages related to or caused by
    the Year 2000 issue.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company does not have material exposure to quantitative and
qualitative market risks because it does not own any risk sensitive financial
instruments.

                          SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION
                                     PART II
                                OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                  On April 2, 9, 12, 14 and 20, 1999, purported class action
         complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the
         Northern District of California by Myron Goldstein, Herbert Silverberg,
         William Preiner, Charles McInnis, and George H. Rosenquist and Melvin
         Freedenberg, respectively, against Secure Computing Corporation, and
         its present or former officers Jeffrey Waxman, Timothy McGurran,
         Patrick Regester, Gary Taggart, Howard Smith and Christine Hughes. Each
         complaint alleges that defendants made false and misleading statements
         about our business condition and prospects during a purported class
         period of November 10, 1998 - March 31, 1999, and asserts claims for
         violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
         of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5. Each complaint seeks damages of an
         unspecified amount.

                  There has been no discovery to date and no trial is scheduled
         in any of these actions. The Company believes that it has meritorious
         defenses to these actions and intends to defend them vigorously.
         However, if the Company does not obtain a favorable resolution of the
         claims set forth in the actions it could have a material adverse effect
         on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The
         Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the size or impact
         of such material adverse effect.

                  On August 26, 1998, a purported class action complaint was
         filed in the Delaware Chancery Court in and for New Castle County by
         Rosalyn Golaine against Secure Computing Corporation, the Company's
         former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Waxman, its Chief
         Financial Officer Timothy McGurran, and present or former directors
         Betsy Atkins,Robert Frankenberg, Stephen Puricelli, Eric Rundquist and
         Dennis Shaughnessy. The complaint alleged that the provisions of the
         July 24, 1997 Shareholder Rights Plan permitting only those directors
         who voted for the Rights Plan (or their designated successors) to
         redeem the rights granted therein, violates Delaware law. The complaint
         sought injunctive relief and damages of an unspecified amount. After
         the Golaine action was filed, the Company amended the Shareholder
         Rights Plan, thereby rendering moot the injunctive relief requested. On
         June 8, 1999, the court approved a settlement of the Golaine action
         requiring the Company to pay $100,000 in attorney fees and the costs of
         notifying the class of the proposed settlement. The $100,000 payment
         was entirely covered by insurance.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

         On June 30, 1998, the Company sold 16,000 shares of newly issued Series
         C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred") and warrants
         to acquire 174,464 shares of Common Stock to two investors affiliated
         with Credit Suisse First Boston and Castle Creek Partners. The offer
         and sale of these securities were completed pursuant to the exemption
         provided by Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.

         The Series C Preferred is convertible at the election of the holder
         into shares of Common Stock beginning six months after issuance. As of
         July 12, 1999, 11,850 shares of the Series C Preferred had been
         converted into 3,731,365 shares of Common Stock leaving 4,150
         outstanding shares of Series C Preferred. The average conversion price
         for shares of Series C Preferred previously converted was $3.18 per
         share of Common Stock. A more comprehensive description of the rights
         and preferences of the Series C Preferred is contained in the Company's
         Report on Form S-3 dated August 14, 1998 and August 6, 1999 as well as
         Form 8-K filed with the Commission on July 15, 1998. A copy of the
         Certificate of Designation of Series C Preferred Stock is filed as an
         exhibit to the Report on Form 8-K.
