    The Company has been advised by the Selling Shareholders that they may  sell
all  or a portion of the Shares and the Warrants from time to time in the Nasdaq

and  at prices then obtainable. The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers,
agents or underwriters  that participate  with the Selling  Shareholders in  the
distribution   of  any  of  the  Shares  and   Warrants  may  be  deemed  to  be
"underwriters" within  the meaning  of the  Securities Act,  and any  commission
received  by  them and  any  profit on  the resale  of  the Shares  and Warrants
purchased by them  may be  deemed to  be underwriting  commissions or  discounts
under  the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution." The Warrant Shares may be
issued from time to time by the Company upon exercise of the Warrants.
 
    The Company  will  bear  all of  the  cost  of preparing  and  printing  the

    THE  FOLLOWING SUMMARY  IS QUALIFIED  IN ITS  ENTIRETY BY  THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION,  INCLUDING  "RISK  FACTORS"  AND  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  AND  NOTES
THERETO,  APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN  THIS PROSPECTUS. EACH  PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS
URGED TO READ THIS PROSPECTUS IN ITS ENTIRETY.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
    DeltaPoint-Registered Trademark-, Inc. (the  "Company") was incorporated  in
California  in  1989. The  Company develops  and markets  visualization software
products that  are designed  to facilitate  the collection,  interpretation  and
management  of  business  and technical  information  across  multiple computing
environments such as desktop and  client/server applications and the  Internet's
World Wide Web (the "Web" or the "World Wide Web"). The Company currently offers
DeltaGraph-Registered Trademark-, an advanced charting and graphics product, and
Drag  'n  Draw,  a  structured  drawing  and  diagramming  software  product. In
addition, the Company offers QuickSite, an Internet product which is designed to
enable non-technical,  individual  and  organizational users  to  establish  and
maintain  a presence on the Web. WebTools  is a Web development technology which
is designed to  allow users to  add Web features  to existing applications.  The
Company  began offering QuickSite and WebTools  in February 1996. The Company is
currently developing WebAnimator (formerly named  Web Vision) which is  designed
to  enable non-technical, individual and  organizational users to add multimedia
and interactive  animation to  Web  sites. WebAnimator  is  not expected  to  be
released  until  the last  half of  1996 at  the earliest.  The Company  is also
currently developing Chart  Server, an  advanced charting  and graphics  product
that  is designed to seamlessly integrate with software suites and off-the-shelf
software applications consisting of basic word processing, spreadsheet, database
and charting  and presentation  graphics applications.  The Company  intends  to
enhance  its product offerings through internal research and development efforts
and the  licensing or  acquisition of  complementary technologies  or  products.
Although  the Company has historically derived substantially all of its revenues
from visualization  software products  for desktop  applications, the  Company's
strategy  is to realize a significant  and growing percentage of future revenues
from the sale of its anticipated Internet products.
 
    The Company was  incorporated in  California in 1989,  its headquarters  are
located  at  22  Lower  Ragsdale  Drive,  Monterey,  California  93940,  and its
telephone number is (408) 648-4000.

CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES  INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO,  THOSE
DISCUSSED  BELOW  AND  IN  "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" AND "BUSINESS."
 
RECENT AND EXPECTED LOSSES; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT; QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS IN
PERFORMANCE
 
    The Company incurred a  net loss of $2,632,000  for the year ended  December
31,  1995 and a net loss of $1,704,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, and
had an accumulated  deficit of  $10,522,000 as of  March 31,  1996. The  Company
expects  to incur losses  for at least  the next 12  months, and perhaps longer.
There can be no assurance that the Company will not incur significant additional
losses until it successfully develops  or acquires new products or  enhancements
to existing products that generate significant revenues. Included in the results
of  operations for 1995 is  a charge to operations  of $1,240,000 resulting from
the acquisition of WebAnimator,  WebTools and QuickSite for  the portion of  the
purchase price determined to be in-process research and development.
 
    The  Company's results of operations  have historically varied substantially
from quarter to quarter and the Company expects they will continue to do so.  In
the  past, the Company's operating results have varied significantly as a result
of a number  of factors, including  the size  and timing of  customer orders  or
license  agreements, product  mix, the revenues  derived from  product sales and
license fees, the  existence and  terms of royalty  and packaging  arrangements,
seasonality,  the  timing of  the introduction  and  customer acceptance  of new
products or product enhancements  by the Company's  competitors, new product  or
version  releases by the Company, changes in  pricing policies by the Company or
its  competitors,   marketing  and   promotional  expenditures,   research   and
development   expenditures   and   changes  in   general   economic  conditions.
Furthermore, the  Company has  often  recognized a  substantial portion  of  its
revenues  in  the last  month  of the  quarter,  with these  revenues frequently
concentrated in the last week or weeks of the quarter.
 
    The Company's operating and other expenses are relatively fixed in the short
term. As  a result,  variations  in timing  of  revenues can  cause  significant
variations  in quarterly results of operations. For example, the Company intends
to make significant expenditures to enhance its sales and marketing and research
and development activities.  Once such  expenditures occur, the  Company may  be
unable  to reduce  them quickly  if revenue is  less than  expected. The Company
generally does not operate  with a significant order  backlog and a  substantial
portion  of its  revenue in any  quarter is  derived from orders  booked in that
quarter, which are difficult to forecast and which are typically concentrated at
the end of the quarter. Accordingly, the Company's sales expectations are  based
almost  entirely on  its internal  estimates of  future demand  and not  on firm
customer orders. Due to the foregoing factors, the Company believes that quarter
to quarter  comparisons  of  its  results  of  operations  are  not  necessarily
meaningful  and should not be relied  upon as indications of future performance.
In addition, there  can be  no assurance  the Company  will be  profitable on  a
quarter  to  quarter  or  any  other  basis  in  the  future.  See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and  Results of Operations"  and
Financial Statements.
 
FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS; NO ASSURANCE OF FUTURE FINANCING
 
    The  Company completed its initial public offering in December 1995; the net
proceeds to the Company were $5,978,000 (including proceeds from the exercise of
the overallotment option). Although the  Company believes that its existing  and
available cash resources should be sufficient to meet its needs for at least the
next  nine months, there can  be no assurance that  the Company's cash resources
will  be  sufficient  to  satisfy  the  Company's  operating  requirements.  The
Company's actual
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
capital  needs,  however,  will  depend  upon  numerous  factors,  including the
progress  of  the  Company's  software  development  activities,  the  cost   of
increasing  the  Company's  sales and  marketing  activities and  the  amount of
revenues generated  from  operations,  none  of  which  can  be  predicted  with
certainty.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  not require
additional capital sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no  assurance
that  any additional  financing will be  available to the  Company on acceptable
terms, or  at all.  The inability  to  obtain required  financing would  have  a
material  adverse  effect on  the  Company's business,  financial  condition and
results of operation.  See "Management's  Discussion and  Analysis of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and Financial Statements.
 
SUBSTANTIAL DEPENDENCE ON RECENT AND ANTICIPATED PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS
 
    DeltaPoint  has  historically  derived  substantially  all  of  its  product
revenues from  licenses  of  DeltaGraph,  its  advanced  charting  and  graphics
software  product.  However,  DeltaPoint's  future  revenue  growth  will depend
substantially  on  the  successful  development,  introduction  and   commercial
acceptance  of its new  and planned products, including  QuickSite, its web page
creation and site management product; WebAnimator, its multimedia authoring tool
for  the  World  Wide  Web,  currently  under  development,  Chart  Server,  its
client-server enterprise wide charting software also currently under development
and  Drag 'n Draw. Although DeltaPoint has  completed much of the development of
Chart Server  and WebAnimator,  significant additional  development and  testing
will  be  required  before commercial  introduction  of either  Chart  Server or
WebAnimator is possible. WebAnimator  is not expected to  be released until  the
last half of 1996 at the earliest and Chart Server is not expected to be shipped
until  late 1996 at  the earliest. There  can be no  assurance that either Chart
Server or WebAnimator can be  successfully developed and introduced.  Commercial
acceptance  of  the Company's  QuickSite and  anticipated WebAnimator  and Chart
Server products will  require the Company  to establish additional  distribution
channels  and  sales  and marketing  methods,  of  which there  can  also  be no
assurance, because  these  anticipated products  will  be targeted  to  existing
customers as well as to a significantly different potential end user population.
In  addition, the  commercial acceptance  of the  Chart Server  is substantially
dependent on market acceptance of  emerging inter-operability protocols such  as
object  linking  and embedding  ("OLE") 2.0  and  OpenDoc, which  facilitate the
seamless exchange  and updating  of information  between software  applications.
There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Company  can  successfully  manage the
introduction of QuickSite or of the Company's anticipated WebAnimator and  Chart
Server  products,  or if  introduced, that  any of  its existing  or anticipated
products will  achieve significant  market  acceptance. Failure  of any  of  the
Company's  existing  or  anticipated  products  to  achieve  significant  market
acceptance will  have  a material  adverse  effect on  the  Company's  business,
financial  condition and results  of operation. See  "Business -- Strategy," "--
Products" and "-- Marketing and Distribution."
 
DEPENDENCE ON ANTICIPATED INTERNET PRODUCTS
 
    Although the  Company  has historically  derived  substantially all  of  its
revenues  from  visualization software  products  for desktop  applications, the
Company's strategy is to realize a significant and growing percentage of  future
revenues from the sale of its anticipated Internet products. Sales of QuickSite,
and  WebAnimator, if introduced, will depend in  part upon a robust industry and
infrastructure for providing Internet access and carrying Internet traffic.  The
Internet is at an early stage of development. There can be no assurance that the
infrastructure or complementary products necessary to make the Internet a viable
commercial  marketplace will be  developed, or, if  developed, that the Internet
will become a viable commercial marketplace.  If the Internet does not become  a
viable   commercial  marketplace,  the  commercial  benefits  derived  from  the
Company's QuickSite product and anticipated  WebAnimator product, if any,  would
be materially adversely effected. Moreover, the sale, marketing and distribution
of  the Company's anticipated  Internet products may  be significantly different
than for the Company's existing products. Failure of the Company to successfully
sell, market and distribute its  anticipated Internet products, if  successfully
developed,  would  have a  material adverse  affect  on the  Company's business,
financial condition and results  of operations. See  "Business -- Products"  and
"-- Marketing and Distribution."

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RETAIL DISTRIBUTION; SUBSTANTIAL CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
 
    DeltaPoint  sells  its  products  to  distributors  for  resale  to  certain
retailers, including computer  superstores and  mass merchandisers.  Sales to  a
limited   number  of  distributors  and  retailers  have  constituted,  and  are
anticipated to continue  to constitute,  a significant  portion of  DeltaPoint's
retail  software sales.  In particular,  revenues from  licenses sold  to Nippon
Polaroid Kabushiki  Kaisha,  the  Company's  Japanese  distributor,  constituted
approximately  12%, 38%, 35% and 6% of  the Company's net revenues for the years
ended December 31,  1993, 1994 and  1995 and  the three months  ended March  31,
1996,  respectively. Sales to Ingram constituted  approximately 8%, 17%, 13% and
23% of the Company's net  revenues for the years  ended December 31, 1993,  1994
and  1995 and the three months ended  March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Any
termination or  significant disruption  of  DeltaPoint's relationship  with  any
major  distributor  or  retailer, or  a  significant reduction  in  sales volume
attributable  to  any  of  such  entities,  could,  unless  or  until  replaced,
materially  adversely  affect the  Company's  business, financial  condition and
results of operations. A deterioration in financial condition or other  business
difficulties  of a distributor  or retailer could  render the Company's accounts
receivable from such entity uncollectible,  which could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
There  can be no assurance that DeltaPoint's existing distributors and retailers
will continue to  provide DeltaPoint's  products with adequate  levels of  shelf
space  or  promotional  support.  In addition,  personal  computer  hardware and
software companies have generally reported declines in gross margins and greater
product returns  as  they have  increased  sales through  the  mass  merchandise
distribution  channel. The  Company expects that  its margins  will be similarly
affected as it increases sales through this channel. See "Business --  Marketing
and Distribution."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
 
    The   Company's  revenues   from  international   operations  accounted  for
approximately 20%, 42%, 40% and 13% of the Company's net revenues in 1993,  1994
and  1995 and  the three  months ended  March 31,  1996, respectively,  of which
approximately 62%, 90%, 87%  and 46%, respectively, were  derived from sales  in
Japan.  The Company  expects that  revenues from  these international operations
will continue to represent a large percentage of its net revenues. International
revenues are subject  to a number  of risks, including  greater difficulties  in
accounts  receivable  collection, longer  payment  cycles, exposure  to currency
fluctuations, political and  economic instability  and the  burden of  complying
with  a wide  variety of foreign  laws and regulatory  requirements. The Company
also believes  that  it is  exposed  to greater  levels  of software  piracy  in
international  markets because of the weaker protection afforded to intellectual
property  in  some  foreign  jurisdictions.  See  "Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations,"  "Business --
Strategy" and "-- Marketing and Distribution."
 
DEPENDENCE ON NONEXCLUSIVE SOFTWARE LICENSE FOR DRAG 'N DRAW-TM-
 
    DeltaPoint  publishes  Drag  'n  Draw  under  a  three-year   non-exclusive,
royalty-bearing  agreement licensed from  a third party. Under  the terms of the
license, the Company currently does not have access to the source code for  Drag
'n  Draw, which  may be  obtained upon  payment of  a specified  fee. Therefore,
without paying such fee, the Company  has no right to the technology  underlying
Drag 'n Draw and is dependent on the third party licenser to modify or customize
Drag  'n Draw in a timely manner. The license agreement requires that DeltaPoint
achieve sufficient net revenue from the sale of Drag 'n Draw to pay the licenser
a specified minimum  royalty, which minimum  was achieved in  the first  quarter
term  of the  license. In  addition, the  license agreement  does not  contain a
non-compete clause  and the  licenser is  therefore free  to allow  other  third
parties,  including competitors of  DeltaPoint, to publish  a product similar to
Drag 'n Draw. Termination of the license would, or the grant of a  non-exclusive
license to a third party on the same or more favorable terms as those granted to
DeltaPoint  could, have  a material  adverse effect  on the  Company's business,
financial condition  and results  of operations.  See "Business  --  Proprietary
Rights and Licenses."
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; RISK OF PRODUCT DELAYS; RISK OF PRODUCT DEFECTS
 
    The  markets  in which  the Company  competes  are characterized  by ongoing
technological   developments,   frequent    new   product   announcements    and
introductions,  evolving industry standards  and changing customer requirements.
The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new
industry standards  and  practices can  render  existing products  obsolete  and
unmarketable.  The Company's future success depends upon its ability on a timely
basis to enhance its existing products, introduce new products that address  the
changing   requirements  of   its  customers   and  anticipate   or  respond  to
technological advances, emerging industry standards  and practices in a  timely,
cost-effective  manner.  There can  be  no assurance  that  the Company  will be
successful in developing, introducing and marketing new products or enhancements
to existing products  or will not  experience difficulties that  could delay  or
prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of these products,
or  that  its new  products and  product enhancements  will adequately  meet the
requirements of the marketplace and achieve any significant degree of commercial
acceptance. Software products such as those offered by the Company often contain
errors or "bugs"  that can adversely  affect the performance  of the product  or
damage a user's data. The Company has in the past discovered software defects in
its products that have adversely affected its business and operating results. If
the  Company  is unable,  for  technological or  other  reasons, to  develop and
introduce new products or enhancements of  existing products in a timely  manner
or  if new versions of existing  products contain unacceptable levels of product
defects or do not achieve a significant  degree of market acceptance, or any  of
the  above situations  occur there  could be  a material  adverse effect  on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Business
- -- Marketing and Distribution" and "-- Research and Development."
 
COMPETITION
 
    The visualization software market is highly competitive and characterized by
rapid technological change,  frequent new product  introductions, short  product
lives,  evolving industry standards and significant  price erosion over the life
of a product. The Company  anticipates increased competition from both  existing
vendors  and new market  entrants. In the  charting market, the  Company has, to
date, encountered  competition  primarily  from larger  vendors  such  as  Adobe
Systems  Incorporated, Microsoft Corporation  ("Microsoft"), Software Publishing
Corporation, Lotus, Division of IBM ("Lotus"), Corel Corporation ("Corel"),  and
Computer  Associates International, Inc.  In the structured  drawing market, the
Company has, to date, encountered competition primarily from larger vendors such
as Corel,  Visio  Corporation  ("Visio") and  Micrografx  Incorporated.  In  the
Internet  add-in market, the Company  expects to encounter competition primarily
from Netscape Communications Corporation, Microsoft, Adobe Systems Incorporated,
Macromedia, Inc. and  Quarterdeck, Inc.  In addition, the  Company expects  that
existing vendors and new market entrants will develop products that will compete
directly  with  the  Company's  products  and  that  competition  will  increase
significantly to  the  extent that  markets  for the  Company's  products  grow.
Increased  competition is  likely to result  in price  reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of  market share, any  of which could  have a material  adverse
effect  on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operation.
Most of  the  Company's current  and  potential competitors  have  substantially
greater  financial, technical, marketing, sales  and customer support resources,
greater name recognition and larger  installed customer bases than the  Company.
If  the  Company is  unable to  compete effectively  against current  and future
competitors,  the  Company's  business,  financial  condition  and  results   of
operations will be materially adversely affected. See "Business -- Competition."
 
RELIANCE ON MICROSOFT
 
    Microsoft  Windows has gained  widespread market acceptance  as the dominant
computer operating  system. Accordingly,  the Company  has developed  and/or  is
developing  advanced charting  and structured  drawing and  diagramming software
products that  function in  the Microsoft  Windows, Windows  '95 or  Windows  NT
environments,  and anticipates future products will  also be designed for use in
these  Microsoft   environments.   Because   the  Company   expects   that   its
Microsoft-based  applications  will account  for  a significant  portion  of new
license revenue for the foreseeable future, sales of the Company's new  products
would   be   materially   and   adversely   affected   by   market  developments
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
adverse to Microsoft Windows, Windows '95 and Windows NT. The Company's  ability
to develop products using the Microsoft Windows, Windows '95 and NT environments
is  substantially dependent  on its  ability to  gain timely  access to,  and to
develop expertise in,  current and  future developments by  Microsoft, of  which
there can be no assurance. Moreover, the abandonment by Microsoft of its current
operating  system, product  line or  strategy, or  the decision  by Microsoft to
develop and  market  products  that  directly or  indirectly  compete  with  the
Company's  products  would  have  a material  adverse  effect  on  the Company's
business, financial  condition  and  results of  operations.  See  "Business  --
Strategy" and "-- Competition."
 
DEPENDENCE ON LIMITED NUMBER OF KEY PERSONNEL
 
    The Company's success depends to a significant extent upon the contributions
of  several key personnel, some of whom were only recently hired by the Company.
The failure to attract  and retain key personnel  could have a material  adverse
affect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
See  "Management  --  Executive  Officers and  Directors"  and  "  -- Employment
Contracts."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGING GROWTH
 
    In recent years, the growth of the Company's customer base and expansion  of
its  product line has challenged, and is  expected to continue to challenge, the
Company's management and  operations, including its  sales, marketing,  customer
support, research and development and finance and administrative operations. The
Company's  future  performance will  depend  in part  on  its ability  to manage
growth, should it occur, both in  its domestic and international operations  and
to adapt its operational and financial control systems, if necessary, to respond
to changes resulting from such growth. The Company intends to continue to invest
in  improving its financial systems and  controls in connection with anticipated
increases in the level of its operations. Although the Company believes that its
systems and  controls are  adequate for  its current  level of  operations,  the
Company  anticipates that it may need to add additional personnel and expand and
upgrade its financial systems  to manage any future  growth. The failure of  the
Company's  management to respond  to and manage growth  effectively could have a
material adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business, financial  condition  and
results  of operations. See  "Management's Discussion and  Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
 
RELIANCE ON SOLE PRODUCT ASSEMBLER
 
    All of the Company's  software products are  currently assembled (i.e.,  the
disk media, operating manual and other documentation are inserted in shrink wrap
packaging)   by  a  related   third  party  assembler   that  beneficially  owns
approximately 2.2% of the Company's Common Stock as of March 31, 1996.  Although
reliance  on  third party  assemblers  is common  in  the software  industry and
DeltaPoint believes  that other  assemblers are  available, the  Company has  no
formal  contract with the assembler and  the termination or interruption of this
assembly arrangement  could have  a  material adverse  effect on  the  Company's
business,  financial  condition and  results  of operations  until  an alternate
assembler is secured.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PRODUCT RETURNS; PRICE PROTECTION
 
    Consistent  with  industry  practice,   the  Company  allows   distributors,
retailers  and end users to return products  for credits towards the purchase of
additional products. In addition, DeltaPoint's promotional activities, including
free trial and satisfaction guaranteed  offers, and competitors' promotional  or
other  activities could cause returns to  increase sharply at any time. Further,
the Company  expects that  the rate  of product  returns could  increase to  the
extent  that the Company  introduces new versions of  its existing products. For
example, product returns may increase above historical levels as a result of new
product introductions.  In addition,  if  the Company  reduces its  prices,  the
Company  credits its distributors for the  difference between the purchase price
of products remaining  in their inventory  and the Company's  reduced price  for
such products. Although the Company provides allowances for anticipated returns,
exchanges  and price protection obligations,  and believes its existing policies
have resulted in the establishment of allowances that are adequate and have been
adequate in the past, there  can be no assurance  that such product returns  and
price protection
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
obligations  will not exceed such allowances in  the future and as a result will
not have a  material adverse  effect on future  operating results,  particularly
since  the Company seeks to continually  introduce new and enhanced products and
is likely to face increasing price competition. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
LIMITED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION; TRADEMARK DISPUTE
 
    The Company's ability to  compete effectively depends in  large part on  its
ability  to develop and maintain proprietary  aspects of its technology. Despite
precautions taken by  the Company,  it may  be possible  for unauthorized  third
parties  to  copy  aspects  of  the Company's  products  or  to  obtain  and use
information that the Company regards as proprietary. Moreover, the laws of  some
foreign  countries  do  not  protect the  Company's  proprietary  rights  in its
products to the same  extent as do  the laws of the  United States. The  Company
licenses  its products primarily under "shrink wrap" license agreements that are
included in products  shipped by the  Company and are  not signed by  licensees,
therefore  they may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In
addition, some aspects of the Company's products are not subject to intellectual
property protection.
 
    The Company cannot  be certain  that others will  not independently  develop
substantially  equivalent  or  superseding proprietary  technology,  or  that an
equivalent product  will  not be  marketed  in competition  with  the  Company's
products,  thereby substantially reducing the value of the Company's proprietary
rights. There can be  no assurance that  any confidentiality agreements  between
the Company and its employees will provide adequate protection for the Company's
proprietary  information in the  event of any unauthorized  use or disclosure of
such proprietary information. See "Business -- Proprietary Rights and Licenses."
 
    Since  July  1995,  the  Company  has  received  correspondence  from  Visio
contesting  the  Company's  right to  use  the  product name  Drag  'n  Draw and
asserting that it  is confusingly  similar to  a registered  trademark owned  by
Visio.  Although the Company believes that this assertion lacks merit, there can
be no assurance  that the  ultimate resolution  of the  matter will  not have  a
material  adverse  impact  on  the Company's  business,  financial  condition or
results of operations.  Although the  Company is  not currently  engaged in  any
intellectual  property litigation  or proceedings  regarding this  matter or any
other similar  matters, there  can be  no assurance  that the  Company will  not
become involved in such proceedings. An adverse outcome in litigation or similar
adversarial  proceedings could subject the Company to significant liabilities to
third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from others or require the
Company to cease the marketing  or use of certain  products, any of which  could
have  a material adverse  effect on the  Company's business, financial condition
and results of  operations. The Company  may be required  to obtain licenses  to
patents  or proprietary rights of others, and there can be no assurance that any
licenses required  under  any  patents  or  proprietary  rights  would  be  made
available  on  terms acceptable  to the  Company,  if at  all. See  "Business --
Property Rights and Licenses."
 
CONCENTRATION OF SHARE OWNERSHIP
 
    As of May 15, 1996, the executive officers and directors of the Company  and
their  affiliates, as  a group,  will continue  to own  or control approximately
26.8% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. As a result, such persons
and entities will continue to exert significant influence over the business  and
affairs of the Company. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders."
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Sale  of substantial  amounts of  the Company's  Common Stock  in the public
market or  the prospect  of such  sales could  materially adversely  affect  the
market  price  of  the  Common Stock.  As  of  March 31,  1996  the  Company had
outstanding 2,215,243 shares  of Common  Stock. Of these  shares, (i)  1,265,000
Shares  were sold to  the public in  the Company's IPO  and are freely tradeable
without  restriction  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended   (the
"Securities  Act"), unless purchased by "affiliates" of the Company as that term
is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and (ii) the remaining  950,243
shares  are restricted  shares ("Restricted  Shares") under  the Securities Act.
Holders of approximately 654,050 Restricted Shares have entered into contractual
"lockup" agreements providing that they will  not offer, sell, contract to  sell
or    grant    any    option    to   purchase    or    otherwise    dispose   of
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
the shares of stock owned by them or that could be purchased by them through the
exercise of options  to purchase stock  of the Company,  until January 19,  1997
without  the prior written consent of H.J. Meyers & Co. In addition, the holders
of the 250,000  Shares and  125,000 of the  Warrant Shares  offered hereby  have
entered  into contractual lockup agreements providing  that they will not offer,
sell, contract to sell or grant any  option to purchase or otherwise dispose  of
the shares of stock owned by them or that could be purchased by them through the
exercise  of options to purchase  stock of the Company,  up to December 20, 1996
provided that (i) up to 25% of such 250,000 shares and 125,000 shares of  Common
Stock  issuable upon exercise  of Warrants held  by them (collectively, "Special
Restricted Shares") may be sold following  90 days after the December 20,  1995,
(ii)  up  to an  additional 25%  of the  Special Restricted  Shares may  be sold
following 180  days  after  the December  20,  1995,  and (iii)  and  up  to  an
additional  25% of the Special Restricted Shares  may be sold following 270 days
after the December 20, 1995. The remaining Restricted Shares are not subject  to
contractual  "lock-up" agreements. If  the holders of  Special Restricted Shares
exercise registration  rights  relating to  such  shares, additional  shares  of
Common  Stock could be available  for sale during the  periods indicated in this
paragraph. Sales in  the public market  of substantial amounts  of Common  Stock
(including  sales in connection with an  exercise of certain registration rights
relating to approximately shares  of Common Stock) or  the perception that  such
sales  could occur could depress prevailing  market prices for the Common Stock.
See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights."
 
SUBSTANTIAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK RESERVED
 
    The Company has reserved  261,172 shares of Common  Stock for issuance  upon
exercise of outstanding warrants and 887,223 shares of Common Stock for issuance
to  key  employees,  officers,  directors  and  consultants  pursuant  to option
exercises or sales  of Common  Stock under  the Stock  Plans (including  200,000
shares  of  Common Stock  which have  been  approved by  the Company's  Board of
Directors subject to  shareholder approval  at the Company's  annual meeting  in
June,  1996). The  Company has also  issued to the  Representative in connection
with the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock in December 1995,
a warrant  to purchase  110,000 shares  of Common  Stock. The  existence of  the
aforementioned  warrants and options and any other options or warrants may prove
to be  a hindrance  to future  equity  financing by  the Company.  Further,  the
holders  of  such warrants  and options  may exercise  them at  a time  when the
Company would otherwise  be able to  obtain additional equity  capital on  terms
more favorable to the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock."
 
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE; NO PRIOR MARKET FOR WARRANTS; POSSIBLE ILLIQUIDITY OF
TRADING MARKET
 
    The  Company's  stock price  has  exhibited volatility  since  the Company's
initial public offering in December 1995. There has been no prior market for the
Company's Warrants and there can  be no assurance that  a public market for  the
Warrants will develop or be sustained after the Offering. In the absence of such
a  market, purchasers of  the Warrants may  experience substantial difficulty in
selling their securities. The  trading price of the  Company's Common Stock  and
Warrants  could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations
in quarterly operating results, changes in analysts' estimates, announcements of
technological innovations by the Company or its competitors, general  conditions
in  the data and  process visualization software industry  and other factors. In
addition, the stock  market is  subject to  price and  volume fluctuations  that
affect  the market  prices for companies  in general,  and small capitalization,
high technology  companies  in particular,  and  are often  unrelated  to  their
operating performance.
 
    The  shares of Common Stock are quoted and the Warrants may be quoted on the
Nasdaq Small Cap  Market which is  a significantly less  liquid market than  the
Nasdaq  National Market. Moreover, if the  Company should continue to experience
losses from operations, it may be unable to maintain the standards for continued
quotation on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, and the shares of Common Stock and the
Warrants, if  quoted, could  be subject  to removal  from the  Nasdaq Small  Cap
Market. Trading, if any, in the Common Stock and the Warrants would therefore be
conducted  in  the  over-the-counter  market  on  an  electronic  bulletin board
established for securities that do not meet the Nasdaq Small Cap Market  listing
requirements,  or in what  are commonly referred  to as the  "pink sheets." As a
result, an investor would  find it more  difficult to dispose  of, or to  obtain
accurate quotations as to the
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
price  of, the  Company's securities. In  addition, if  the Company's securities
were removed  from  the  Nasdaq Small  Cap  Market,  they would  be  subject  to
so-called  "penny stock" rules that impose  additional sales practice and market
making requirements on  broker-dealers who  sell and/or  make a  market in  such
securities.  Consequently, removal from the Nasdaq  Small Cap Market, if it were
to occur, could  affect the  ability or  willingness of  broker-dealers to  sell
and/or  make a market in the Company's  securities and the ability of purchasers
of the Company's securities to sell their securities in the secondary market. In
addition, if the market price of the  Company's Common Stock is less than  $5.00
per  share, the Company may become subject  to certain penny stock rules even if
still quoted on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. While such penny stock rules should
not affect the quotation of the Company's  Common Stock on the Nasdaq Small  Cap
Market,  such rules may further  limit the market liquidity  of the Common Stock
and Warrants  and  the ability  of  purchasers in  this  Offering to  sell  such
securities in the secondary market.
 
    The  Company has not previously  paid any dividends on  its Common Stock and
for the  foreseeable future  intends to  continue its  policy of  retaining  any
earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business. See "Dividend
Policy."
 
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
 
    As permitted by California General Corporation Law, the Company has included
in  its Restated Articles of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the personal
liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach  of
their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions. In addition,
the  Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company is required to indemnify its
officers  and   directors   under   certain   circumstances,   including   those
circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and the
Company  is  required  to advance  expenses  to  its officers  and  directors as
incurred in  connection with  proceeding  against them  for  which they  may  be
indemnified.  The Company has  entered into indemnification  agreements with its
officers and directors containing provisions  that are in some respects  broader
than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the California General
Corporation Law. See "Management -- Limitations on Liability and Indemnification
Matters."
 
                          PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
 
    The  Company's Common Stock is  traded on the Nasdaq  Small Cap Market under
the symbol DTPT. The table below sets forth the high and low closing sale prices
for each quarterly period through the second quarter of 1996, as reported by the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market.
 
    Prior to this offering,  there has been no  public market for the  Warrants,
and  there can be no  assurance that an active  market will develop. The Company
plans to submit  an application to  list the  Warrants on the  Nasdaq Small  Cap
Market.

    On  May 23, 1996, the closing sale price for a share of the Company's Common

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
    The Company has  never declared  or paid any  cash dividends  on its  Common
Stock,  and the Company currently intends to  retain any future earnings to fund
the development of  its business and  therefore does not  anticipate paying  any
cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    THIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS SECTION AND OTHER PARTS OF THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE  RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL  RESULTS
MAY  DIFFER  SIGNIFICANTLY FROM  THE  RESULTS DISCUSSED  IN  THE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT  MIGHT CAUSE  SUCH A  DIFFERENCE INCLUDE,  BUT ARE  NOT
LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND IN "RISK FACTORS" AND "BUSINESS."
 
OVERVIEW
 
    DeltaPoint  was  incorporated on  February 1,  1989  to design,  develop and
market  visualization  software  products  for  personal  computers.  DeltaPoint
commenced  shipments of its initial product, DeltaGraph,  at the end of 1989. In
June 1995, the Company shipped the initial version of Drag 'n Draw for  Windows.
In  November 1995, the Company acquired  technology which is required to develop
WebAnimator, a multimedia  authoring tool for  the Web which  is expected to  be
released in the last half of 1996 at the earliest. In December 1995, the Company
acquired  technology to  develop QuickSite, a  Web site  creation and management
tool which was released in February 1996. The Company plans to incur  additional
expenditures   to  develop  Internet  products  that  incorporate  the  acquired
technology over the next several quarters. Although the Company has historically
derived substantially all of its  revenues from visualization software  products
for desktop applications, the Company's strategy is to realize a significant and
growing  percentage of future revenues from the sale of its anticipated Internet
products.
 
    The Company's revenues consist  of license revenues  from sales of  software
products  to distributors,  resellers and  end users.  In addition,  the Company
derives license  revenues from  royalty and  packaging agreements  with  certain
customers.  Under  these  agreements,  the Company  typically  receives  a large
percentage of the aggregate revenues in the form of a nonrefundable royalty paid
upon shipping  of the  master copy  of software,  which allows  the customer  to
license  a specified number of  copies of the Company's  software, and a smaller
percentage of aggregate revenues in the  form of packaging fees, which are  paid
to  the Company  based on  the manufacturing cost  of products  that the Company
packages and ships for the customer over the life of the agreement. As a result,
these agreements  can  lead to  quarterly  fluctuations in  revenues  and  gross
profit.
 
    Software  product sales are recognized upon  shipment of the product, net of
appropriate allowances for estimated returns. Revenues from software royalty and
packaging agreements  are recognized  upon  shipment of  a  master copy  of  the
software product and packaging if no significant vendor obligations remain under
the term of the license agreements and any amounts to be paid are nonrefundable.
Payments  received in  advance of revenue  recognition are  recorded as deferred
revenue. The Company grants distributors and resellers certain rights of return,
price protection and stock rotation  rights on unsold merchandise.  Accordingly,
reserves   for  estimated  future  returns,  exchanges  and  credits  for  price
protection and stock  rotation rights are  accrued at the  time of shipment.  To
date, a majority of the Company's revenue has come from sales of DeltaGraph.
 
    The  Company sustained  significant operating losses  in 1992 and  1993 as a
result of expenses incurred in connection  with the introduction of the  initial
Windows  version of DeltaGraph and the Company's attempt to market and sell this
product primarily  through retail  channels  (including mass  merchandisers  and
other retail stores). The Company's sales through these channels were lower than
anticipated  during 1992 and 1993. Since the  first quarter of 1994, the Company
has focused on marketing and selling  DeltaGraph through direct channels to  end
users (including direct mail and catalogs).
 
    Net  revenues declined  from $4,885,000 in  1994 to $4,043,000  in 1995. The
decline of net revenues  was comprised of a  decline in domestic revenues,  from
$2,833,000  in  1994  to $2,433,000  in  1995,  and a  decline  in international
revenues, from $2,052,000 in 1994 to  $1,610,000 in 1995. Net revenues  declined
primarily  because of lower  than anticipated customer  demand for the Company's
Windows
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
version of  DeltaGraph, the  de-emphasis of  sales through  retail  distribution
channels  and sales of  graphics utilities products, the  reduction of sales and
marketing  expenditures  until  late,  1995  due  to  cash  constraints,  and  a
refocusing  of the Company's business into  the Internet market. The Company had
anticipated that  sales  of  its  Windows  version  DeltaGraph  would  be  above
historical  sales levels of  DeltaGraph. The Company  believes that net revenues
may remain  flat or  continue to  decline until  it has  realized revenues  from
recently   introduced  products,  such  as  QuickSite  and  from  products  that
the Company develops or acquires in the future, such as WebAnimator.
 
    The Company's  gross  profit has  historically  fluctuated from  quarter  to
quarter  based on the mix of revenues  derived from software product sales, and,
for the reasons discussed  above, royalty fees and  packaging fees. The  Company
obtains  higher than average gross profit  on revenues derived from royalty fees
on its  traditional  charting and  graphing  software products  because  of  the
negligible  costs  associated  with  generating such  revenues,  and  lower than
average gross profit on packaging fees from these products, because packaging is
sold at  a  price based  on  the manufacturing  cost  of the  finished  software
product.  The Company's  gross profit  has also fluctuated  based on  the mix of
product revenues derived  from sales of  the Company's higher-margin  DeltaGraph
product  and sales of lower-margin graphics utilities products where the Company
must pay royalties  to third  parties. The  Company believes  these factors  may
impact  its gross profit in the future. In addition, to the extent the Company's
QuickSite and anticipated  WebAnimator product revenues  increase, gross  profit
will  be negatively impacted in the future  as the Company must pay royalties to
third parties  on sales  of these  products. See  "Risk Factors  --  Substantial
Dependence  on Recent and Anticipated  Product Introductions" and "-- Dependence
on Nonexclusive Software License for Drag 'n Draw."
 
    The Company's  limited  operating history  makes  the prediction  of  future
operating  results difficult or impossible. Future operating results will depend
on many  factors,  including demand  for  the  Company's products,  the  mix  of
revenues derived from product sales and royalty and packaging fees, the level of
product  and price  competition, the Company's  success in  expanding its direct
sales efforts for its visualization software products and indirect  distribution
channels  for its new  or anticipated Internet  products and the  ability of the
Company to successfully develop  and market new products  and control costs.  In
particular, the Company's ability to achieve revenue growth and profitability in
the future will be significantly dependent on the timely introduction and market
acceptance  of products the Company has recently introduced or is developing and
the ability of the Company to successfully develop products for new and existing
markets.
 
    The Company incurred  a significant  loss for  the year  ended December  31,
1995,  in part due to  a charge to operations recorded  in the fourth quarter of
approximately $1,240,000  resulting from  the  acquisition of  certain  Internet
technologies  for the portion of the  purchase price determined to be in-process
research and development and a decline in revenues from traditional products. In
addition, the Company  incurred a loss  of $1,704,000 for  the first quarter  of
1996,  in part due to a continued  decline in revenues from traditional products
that has not  been offset  by revenues  from recently  introduced products.  The
Company expects to incur losses from operations for at least the next 12 months,
and perhaps longer, particularly if revenues do not increase significantly above
current  levels.  There can  be no  assurance  that the  Company will  not incur
significant additional losses  until it  successfully develops  or acquires  new
products or enhancements to existing products that generate significant revenues
and  profits.  See  "Risk Factors  --  Recent and  Expected  Losses; Accumulated
Deficit; Quarterly Fluctuations in Performance."

</TABLE>
 
    YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
    NET  REVENUES.  Net revenues  decreased by 17.2% from  $4,885,000 in 1994 to
$4,043,000 in  1995.  Net revenues  declined  primarily because  of  lower  than
anticipated   sales  of  the  Company's   Windows  version  of  DeltaGraph,  the
de-emphasis of  sales  through  indirect  distribution  channels  and  sales  of
graphics  utilities  products,  an  overall  reduction  of  sales  and marketing
expenditures and  a  refocusing of  the  Company's business  into  the  Internet
market.  International sales accounted for 42.0% of net revenues during 1994 and
40.0% for 1995. The decrease in international revenues was partly due to  slower
than anticipated DeltaGraph sales in the fourth quarter of 1995 and the delay in
release  of the  Japanese version  of the  Drag 'n  Draw product.  The Company's
domestic and international  sales are principally  denominated in United  States
dollars.  Movements in currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on
the total revenue in the periods  presented. However, there can be no  assurance
that  future  movements in  currency  exchange rates  will  not have  a material
adverse effect on the Company's future revenues and results of operations.
 
    COST OF REVENUES.   Cost  of revenues  consists of  direct material,  labor,
overhead,  freight, post customer support,  royalties and contract manufacturing
costs associated  with the  manufacturing  of the  Company's products.  Cost  of
revenues  increased  from  $962,000,  or  19.7%  of  net  revenues,  in  1994 to
$1,337,000, or 33.1% of net revenues in  1995. The increase in cost of  revenues
was  primarily due to royalties paid by the  Company on sales of Drag 'n Draw in
1995 and to a lesser extent translation costs associated with the French version
of DeltaGraph and certain  fixed manufacturing costs which  did not decrease  at
the  same rate as  net revenues in 1995.  The increase in cost  of revenues on a
percentage of net  revenues in 1994  to 1995 was  also partially caused  because
overhead  and related costs did not decrease at the same rate as net revenues in
1995.
 
    GROSS PROFIT.  The Company's gross profit has varied from quarter to quarter
as a result of  changes in the  mix of revenues derived  from license fees  from
sales  to the  Company's Japanese distributor  and other  customers. The Company
believes that the decrease in  gross profit on a  percentage basis for the  year
ended  December 31,  1995 was the  result of  sales of lower  margin upgrades of
DeltaGraph in Japan and royalties paid by the Company in connection with initial
sales of Drag  'n Draw.  To the extent  that sales  of Drag 'n  Draw, the  newly
released  QuickSite and the anticipated WebAnimator  increase in the future as a
percentage of the  Company's overall  net revenues, the  Company's gross  profit
will  be negatively effected because the Company  must pay royalties on sales of
these products.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
    SALES  AND  MARKETING.     Sales  and   marketing  expenses  include   sales
commissions,   compensation  of  sales  and  marketing  personnel  and  cost  of
promotional activities. Sales  and marketing  expenses increased  by 17.5%  from
$1,636,000  in 1994 to $1,922,000  in 1995. The increase  in sales and marketing
expenses in absolute dollars and as  a percentage of net revenues was  primarily
due  to  an  increase in  the  use  of direct  mail,  telemarketing  and channel
promotions used to  promote Drag  'n Draw. The  Company expects  that sales  and
marketing  costs  will  increase  in  absolute dollars  and  may  increase  as a
percentage of net revenues during 1996, because the Company intends to add sales
and marketing personnel to support  the anticipated introduction of planned  new
products and updated versions of the Company's existing products.
 
    RESEARCH  AND DEVELOPMENT.   Research and development  expenses increased by
118.9% from $930,000 in 1994 to $2,036,000 in 1995. The increase in research and
development expenses in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues was
due to a charge  to operations of $1,240,000  resulting from the acquisition  of
certain  Internet technologies for the portion  of the purchase price determined
to be in-process  technology as such  technology had not  realized the stage  of
technological  feasibility and had  no alternative future  use. This increase in
research and  development expenses  was  offset by  a  decrease in  spending  in
research  and development because  of a lack  of sufficient cash  during most of
1995 to adequately fund development of anticipated new products, including Chart
Server. The increase was also offset by the reduced development of the Company's
graphics utilities products. The Company  is seeking to complete development  of
and  release new Internet products in  1996 derived from the technology acquired
in 1995. The Company expects that  research and development costs will  increase
in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues in future periods due to
further  development  of the  Company's  planned new  products,  including Chart
Server and WebAnimator, and the development of updated versions of the Company's
existing products.
 
    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.   General and administrative expenses  increased
47.1% from $839,000 for 1994 to $1,234,000 for 1995. The increase in general and
administrative  expenses in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues
was primarily  attributable  to  additional  provisions  for  specific  doubtful
accounts   receivable  related  to  receivables  from  a  distributor  which  is
experiencing financial  difficulties.  The  Company  expects  that  general  and
administrative  expenses will increase in absolute  dollars in future periods to
the extent that the Company expands its operations.
 
    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.   There was  no provision for  taxes in 1994  or
1995  due to  net operating  losses and the  availability of  net operating loss
carryforwards. Due  to  certain changes  in  the Company's  ownership,  the  net
operating  loss  carryforwards  available  to offset  against  future  income is
limited to approximately $2,345,000 or $142,000 per year. If certain  additional
changes  in the  Company's ownership occur,  the Company's use  of net operating
loss carryforwards may be subject to a lower annual limitation.
 
    THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996
 
    NET REVENUES.  Net revenues for the three month period ended March 31,  1996
decreased  by 11% to $760,000 from $854,000  for the corresponding period in the
prior year. The decrease  in revenue is  primarily due to a  new release of  the
Company's  Windows version of  DeltaGraph in the three  month period ended March
31, 1995 and no corresponding release in the three month period ended March  31,
1996.  In  addition, the  decrease  in revenue  was due  to  the refocus  of the
Company's business on  the Internet  market. For  the three  month period  ended
March  31,  1996,  international  revenue decreased  to  13.0%  of  net revenues
compared to  20.0%  for  the  period  ended March  31,  1995.  The  decrease  in
international  revenues was  due to  fewer Japanese  license agreements  and the
timing of new product introductions.
 
    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31,  1996
decreased  as  a  percentage  of  net  revenues  to  55.5%  from  59.1%  for the
corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit as a
percentage of revenue  for the three  months ended March  31, 1996 is  partially
attributable  to a write-off of inventory due to the release of a new version of
DeltaGraph for
 
                                       19

Macintosh. Additionally, the  newly released QuickSite  decreased gross  margins
because the Company must pay royalties on sales of QuickSite. To the extent that
the  newly released QuickSite and  the anticipated WebAnimator products increase
in the  future  as a  percentage  of the  Company's  overall net  revenues,  the
Company's  gross profit as a percentage  of revenues will be negatively affected
as a result of similar royalties.
 
    SALES  AND  MARKETING.     Sales  and   marketing  expenses  include   sales
commissions,   compensation  of  sales  and  marketing  personnel  and  cost  of
promotional activities. Sales and marketing expenses for the three month  period
ended March 31, 1996 increased to $888,000 or 116.8% of net revenues compared to
$392,000  or 45.9% of sales for the  corresponding period in the prior year. The
increase in sales and marketing expenses in absolute dollars and as a percentage
of net revenues  was primarily due  to an increase  in the use  of direct  mail,
telemarketing,  consultants, and  channel promotions used  to promote DeltaGraph
and QuickSite.  The  Company expects  that  sales and  marketing  expenses  will
increase  in  future  quarters because  the  Company  intends to  add  sales and
marketing personnel to support the anticipated introduction of new products  and
updated versions of the Company's existing products.
 
    RESEARCH  AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and  development expenses for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 increased to $486,000 or 63.9% of net revenues
compared to $200,000 or 23.4% of sales for the corresponding period in the prior
year. The increase in research and  development expenses was primarily due to  a
staffing  increase for the development of DeltaGraph, QuickSite and WebAnimator.
In addition, the Company retained several consultants to aid in the  development
process.  The  Company  expects  that  research  and  development  expenses will
increase in future periods due to  further development of the Company's  planned
new  products,  including ChartServer  and WebAnimator,  and the  development of
updated versions of the Company's existing products.
 
    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.   General  and administrative  expenses for  the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 increased to $769,000 or 101.2% of sales
compared to $300,000 or 35.1% of sales for the corresponding period in the prior
year.  The increase in  general and administrative  expenses in absolute dollars
and as a percentage  of net revenues was  primarily attributable to a  severance
expense  charge of  $505,000 relating to  the departure of  the Company's former
Chief Executive Officer.  The Company  expects that  general and  administrative
expenses  will increase in future periods to the extent that the Company expands
its operations.
 
    PROVISION FOR INCOME  TAXES.  There  was no provision  for taxes during  the
three  month periods ended March  31, 1996 and 1995  due to net operating losses
and the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    As of  March  31,  1996,  the  Company had  a  working  capital  balance  of
$1,889,000  and shareholders' equity of $2,576,000. The Company has financed its
operations primarily  through private  and public  sales of  equity  securities,
borrowings  under a  term loan  and the private  sale of  debt securities. Since
inception, the Company has received  $13,095,000 in proceeds from private  sales
of  preferred  stock and  from  the Company's  initial  public offering  and the
related overallotment  exercise of  common stock  in December  1995 and  January
1996, respectively.
 
    The  Company used net cash in operations  of $308,000 in 1994 and $1,646,000
in 1995. Net  cash used  in 1994 consisted  primarily of  decreases in  accounts
payable  and accrued liabilities, partially offset by net income of $350,000 and
depreciation and  amortization of  $241,000.  Net cash  used in  1995  consisted
primarily  of a net  loss of $2,632,000,  an increase in  accounts receivable of
$642,000, largely because of significant sales of the Company's products in  the
last  30  days of  the  third quarter  of 1995  with  extended payment  terms, a
decrease in  accounts payable  of  $751,000, partially  offset by  a  $1,240,000
charge  to operations from the acquisition  of certain Internet technologies for
the portion of the purchase price determined to be in-process technology and  an
increase in accrued liabilities of $670,000.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
    The  Company used net  cash in operations  of $1,035,000 in  the three month
period ended March  31, 1996 and  $768,000 for the  corresponding period of  the
prior  year.  Net cash  used  in the  three month  period  ended March  31, 1996
consisted primarily  of  a net  loss  of $1,704,000  offset  by an  increase  in
accounts  payable of $356,000 and the reserve  for returns of $231,000. Net cash
used in 1995 consisted  primarily of a  net loss of $411,000  and a decrease  in
accounts payable of $547,000.
 
    The  Company obtained net cash from financing activities of $359,000 in 1994
and $6,499,000  in  1995. Net  cash  obtained  in 1995  consisted  primarily  of
$5,143,000 in net proceeds in 1995 from the Company's initial public offering of
common stock completed in 1995 and other equity financing.
 
    Net  cash provided  by financing activities  totalled $835,000  in the three
month period ended March 31, 1996  and $768,000 for the corresponding period  of
the  prior year. Net  cash from financing  activities in the  three month period
ended March 31, 1996  consisted primarily of $831,000  in net proceeds from  the
Company's  overallotment  from  the  initial  public  offering  of  common stock
completed in 1995. Net cash from financing activities in the three month  period
ended March 31, 1995 consisted primarily of a note payable of $822,000.
 
    The  Company's  capital  expenditures  related  primarily  to  purchases  of
personal  computers  and   computer  workstations  to   support  the   Company's
development  work and other property and  equipment. For the year ended December
31, 1995, the Company's capital expenditures totaled approximately $29,000.  The
Company anticipates capital expenditures for 1996 will be approximately $200,000
due  to an anticipated  increase in personal  computers and computer workstation
equipment needs to support the increased  development work. For the three  month
period   ended  March  31,  1996  the  Company's  capital  expenditures  totaled
approximately $205,000.
 
    In November and December of  1995, the Company acquired technology  required
to  develop  WebAnimator,  QuickSite,  and WebTools.  The  Company  acquired the
technologies for an aggregate purchase  price of $1,690,000 of which  $1,090,000
will  be paid in aggregate  cash payments. As of  February 29, 1996, $500,000 of
these aggregate cash payments  had been made. The  Company recorded a charge  of
$1,240,000  to operations in 1995 from the acquisition of these technologies for
the portion of the purchase price determined to be in-process technology.
 
    The Company believes that its  existing and available cash resources  should
be  sufficient to meet its cash requirements  for at least the next nine months.
Although operating activities may provide cash in certain periods, to the extent
the Company continues to incur losses or grows in the future, its operating  and
investing  activities may use cash and,  consequently, such losses or growth may
require the Company to obtain additional  sources of financing. There can be  no
assurance  that  any necessary  additional financing  will  be available  to the
Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In particular, although the
Company has borrowed funds in  the past, there can be  no assurance that it  can
borrow funds in the future.

                                    BUSINESS
 
    DeltaPoint, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in California in 1989. The
Company  develops and markets visualization  software products that are designed
to facilitate  the collection,  interpretation and  management of  business  and
technical information across multiple computing environments such as desktop and
client/server  applications  and  the  Internet's World  Wide  Web.  The Company
currently offers DeltaGraph, an advanced charting and graphics product, and Drag
'n Draw, a structured drawing and diagramming software product. In addition, the
Company offers  QuickSite,  an Internet  product  which is  designed  to  enable
non-technical,  individual and organizational users  to establish and maintain a
presence on the Web. WebTools is a Web development technology which is  designed
to  allow users to add Web features  to existing applications. The Company began
offering QuickSite  and WebTools  in  February 1996.  The Company  is  currently
developing  WebAnimator (formerly named Web Vision)  which is designed to enable
non-technical,  individual  and  organizational  users  to  add  multimedia  and
interactive  animation to Web sites. WebAnimator  is not expected to be released
until the last  half of  1996 at  the earliest.  The Company  is also  currently
developing  Chart  Server, an  advanced charting  and  graphics product  that is
designed to seamlessly integrate with software suites and off-the-shelf software
applications consisting  of basic  word  processing, spreadsheet,  database  and
charting  and presentation graphics applications. The Company intends to enhance
its product offerings through internal research and development efforts and  the
licensing or acquisition of complementary technologies or products. Although the
Company  has  historically  derived  substantially  all  of  its  revenues  from
visualization software products for desktop applications, the Company's strategy
is to realize a significant and  growing percentage of future revenues from  the
sale of its anticipated Internet products.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
    INTERNET ADD-IN PRODUCTS
 
    The Internet is a global web of computer networks. Much of the recent growth
in  Internet use by businesses and individuals  has been driven by the emergence
of a network of servers and information available on the Web. The Web, based  on
a  client/server  model  and  a  set of  standards  for  information  access and
navigation, can  be  accessed using  client  software commonly  referred  to  as
browsers.  Electronic documents are published on  Web Servers in a common format
described by the Hypertext Markup Language ("HTML"). Web client browser software
can make  a  request  across  the Internet  using  a  standard  protocol  called
Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
 
    The  proliferation  of Web  clients has  created  a significant  increase in
activity on  the Internet  and a  growing demand  for easy  to use  software  to
collect,  manage  and  organize  the vast  amount  of  information  and graphics
available on  the Web.  In addition,  the Company  believes that  an  increasing
number of organizations are providing their employees with Web access from their
desktops,  creating  an emerging  market  for internal  information  systems and
enterprise applications hosted  on internal  Web servers.  The Internet  enables
organizations  to  extend  their  internal  information  systems  and enterprise
applications to geographically dispersed facilities, remote offices, and  mobile
employees  using Web client  browsers and server  software. The Company believes
that as the number of users on  the Web increases and the amount of  information
available to these users proliferates, a substantial opportunity will emerge for
Internet products that simplify the collection, interpretation and management of
information.
 
    DESKTOP AND CLIENT/SERVER APPLICATIONS AND COMPONENTS
 
    Visualization  software products  enable the manipulation  and expression of
information into a wide variety of  charts, graphs and diagrams to  communicate,
among  other things, experimental data, research activities and business trends.
Sophisticated  charting   and  graphics   software  products   allow   extensive
flexibility  in the  formatting of chart  styles, shapes and  colors, while also
providing the ability to produce precise, publication quality output. Structured
drawing and diagramming software products enable users to create interior design
layouts, organizational charts, time lines  and network diagrams from a  library
of pre-drawn objects and simple geometric shapes.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
    In  most organizations, a diverse group of users across multiple departments
have different  software needs.  Many organizations  currently use  standardized
software  suites such as Microsoft's  Office, Lotus/IBM's SmartSuite and Corel's
WordPerfect  Office.  Although  software  suites  offer  advantages  such  as  a
consistent  interface, increased integration and  ease of use, the visualization
tools offered in  such suites  meet only the  basic needs  of users.  Therefore,
users  with special requirements  or that work  with large or  complex data sets
require more  complete  and flexible  charting  and graphics  software  that  is
currently  found only in more sophisticated stand-alone products. However, these
stand-alone products can be too complex for the average user and, in many cases,
cannot be effectively integrated with software suites.
 
    Many  organizations  are  converting  their  computer  infrastructures  from
mainframe-based  systems  to client/server  architectures consisting  of desktop
computers, high  speed  networks  and large  capacity  servers.  This  computing
architecture  enables users in  an organization to have  access to large volumes
and  diverse   types  of   data.   These  organizations   increasingly   require
visualization  software products that can  be easily accessed by enterprise-wide
users to create and  customize solutions that meet  specific requirements. As  a
result,  the Company believes that a significant opportunity exists for software
products and objects that can complement existing software suites.
 
    The Company believes that  over the longer term  a fundamental shift in  how
organizations  purchase and utilize software applications will occur as a result
of the introduction of  object-oriented operating systems  and the emergence  of
standards  for  object inter-operability  such as  object linking  and embedding
("OLE") 2.0 and OpenDoc. The Company believes that this shift will result in  an
industry  model  that  encourages  the  adoption  of  "best  of  class" software
components by organizations and end  users. The Company's products are  designed
to leverage these protocols, to offer industry leading charting and graphics and
structured  drawing and diagramming software solutions. As a result, the Company
believes that a significant market opportunity may develop for software products
and objects  that  enable  organizations to  create  customized  enterprise-wide
client/server solutions.
 
STRATEGY
 
    DeltaPoint's objective is to be a leading provider of visualization software
solutions  to individual  and organizational  users. The  Company's strategy for
achieving this objective includes the following elements:
 
    LEVERAGE PROPRIETARY  TECHNOLOGY  BASE.   DeltaPoint  believes that  it  has
developed  significant expertise related to charting and graphics and structured
drawing and  diagramming  software  products. For  example,  the  core  charting
technology  currently used in DeltaPoint's  existing data visualization products
is maintained as a common code base. As a result, the Company has the ability to
make enhancements  to DeltaGraph  available on  both the  Macintosh and  Windows
platforms  within  months  of  one  another.  The  use  of  a  common  code base
facilitates modular  chart development  and  enables the  Company to  reuse  and
extend the charting code in future products such as Chart Server.
 
    LEVERAGE  EMERGING  INDUSTRY  STANDARDS.    The  Company  believes  that the
utilization of emerging  industry standards  such as  OLE 2.0  and OpenDoc  will
allow  it to design products for  seamless integration with software suites that
enable users to  build customized plug  and play solutions,  thereby giving  the
Company  a  potential  competitive advantage  over  many  commercially available
products. The Company also intends to  develop new products such as  WebAnimator
and  to enhance existing products such as DeltaGraph, QuickSite and Web Tools to
address the rapidly growing Web market.
 
    PROVIDE A  CONSISTENT  OBJECT INTERFACE.    The Company  is  developing  the
"Visual  Library,"  a logical  and  consistent interface  incorporated  into its
proprietary products  for the  management of  object technologies.  The  Company
believes  that  the  Visual Library  will  enable  it to  leverage  its existing
customers by offering an easy to use  "drag and drop" interface to a variety  of
OLE 2.0 and OpenDoc
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
objects.  Furthermore, this feature will  enable DeltaPoint to target individual
vertical markets  and  customize its  products  to specific  customer  needs  by
allowing them to select from different chart types and intelligent objects.
 
    CAPITALIZE  ON  FRAGMENTED  VISUALIZATION  SOFTWARE  MARKET.    The  Company
believes that  the visualization  market  is fragmented,  comprised of  a  large
number  of small private companies with complementary technologies and products.
The Company believes that these companies may not be able to effectively compete
with larger software companies  because of, among other  things, the absence  of
significant financial leverage and a focused and sustainable sales and marketing
strategy.  The Company intends  to consider opportunities  to acquire certain of
these companies, their technologies or products. In furtherance of this strategy
the Company has  acquired core technologies  which serves as  the basis for  the
Company's  QuickSite Product  and will  serve as  the basis  for its anticipated
WebAnimator product.
 
    EXPAND DISTRIBUTION  CHANNELS.   DeltaPoint  plans  to expand  its  existing
distribution  channels as  well as  to establish  new channels  domestically and
abroad. The  Company  intends  to expand  its  indirect  distribution  channels,
including  dealers,  original equipment  manufacturers  ("OEM") and  value added
resellers ("VAR") in order to  effectively market and sell QuickSite,  WebTools,
and  the  anticipated Chart  Server  and WebAnimator  products.  DeltaPoint also
intends to continue to  form strategic associations  with hardware and  software
vendors.  For example,  with the  planned release  of Chart  Server, the Company
believes there  may be  an topportunity  to partner  with database  and  client/
server vendors as well as desktop office suite vendors.
 
PRODUCTS
 
    The  Company has  introduced two  Web products  and is  currently seeking to
develop an additional Web product. QuickSite is designed as a low cost, easy  to
use Web page creation and site management tool that is designed to enable novice
and  experienced  site  creators to  rapidly  create  and maintain  a  Web site.
WebTools has  been  designed  to  enable developers,  VAR's  and  corporate  MIS
directors  to add  World Wide Web  access to  existing applications. WebAnimator
will be designed to allow  a broad range of Web  users to easily add  multimedia
and  interactive animation to a Web  site. The Company's products also currently
include DeltaGraph, which is  used to transform numerical  data into charts  and
graphs,  and Drag 'n Draw,  which is used to  create design layouts and diagrams
with pre-drawn  objects  and  geometric  shapes. In  addition,  the  Company  is
currently  developing Chart Server, a charting  and graphics product designed to
seamlessly integrate  with software  suites  and to  complement  enterprise-wide
client/server solutions.
 
    WORLD WIDE WEB PRODUCTS
 
    QUICKSITE.   In December 1995, the  Company acquired an exclusive license to
core technologies which are expected to serve  as the basis for a family of  Web
page  creation  and  site management  products.  QuickSite, the  first  of these
products, is  designed to  enable  non-technical individual  and  organizational
users  to rapidly  create, and  efficiently manage,  a Web  site in  a more cost
effective manner than currently commercially available products.
 
    The Company believes  that QuickSite represents  a significant advance  over
currently commercially available Web site creation and management tools in terms
of  ease of use and  cost. QuickSite has been  designed to provide the following
attributes: (i) easy  to use help-wizards  enable users to  design a  structure,
apply  a style, create a page and add tables and forms by following a few simple
steps; (ii) QuickSite enables users to create a Web site with all the  hypertext
links and HTML codes automatically generated; and (iii) QuickSite is designed to
be   customizable,  enabling  a  programmer  to   take  advantage  of  its  open
architecture through the programmer's Application Programmer Interface to create
custom vertical market solutions.
 
    QuickSite has been designed as a low cost, easy to use Web site creation and
management tool that will enable novice  and inexperienced Web site creators  to
create  multiple  page, content  rich  Web sites  that  will work  with Netscape
Navigator   or   any   other   compatible   browser.   Because   QuickSite    is
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
designed  as a  database, it is  expected to  enable any site  creator to manage
multiple pages and unlimited content including files, tables, forms, e-mail, and
links to other  sites without  any knowledge  of programming.  In addition,  the
database architecture of QuickSite is designed to enable site creators to easily
and  quickly manage  and update  site content.  There can  be no  assurance that
QuickSite will achieve  significant market acceptance.  Failure of QuickSite  to
achieve  significant market acceptance  could have a  material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
    WEBTOOLS.  In December  1995, the Company  acquired core technologies  which
serve  as the basis for WebTools. WebTools is designed to allow users to add Web
features to existing applications.
 
    WEBANIMATOR.  In November 1995, the Company acquired core technologies which
will serve as a basis for WebAnimator, a multimedia authoring tool for the  Web,
from  Richard Blum, d.b.a. Knowledge Vision ("Knowledge Vision"). WebAnimator is
designed to enable  a broad  range of  Web users  to easily  add multimedia  and
interactive animation to a Web site.
 
    The  Company  believes  that  WebAnimator  will  represent  an  advance over
currently  commercially  available  products  by  offering  the  following   key
attributes:  (i)  extensive use  of predefined  templates  that are  expected to
enable users to combine text and content to produce multimedia presentations  in
minutes; (ii) presentations and animation created in WebAnimator's native format
are  expected to be vector based and  therefore are expected to be compressed to
extremely small files that  can be quickly downloaded  and played from within  a
Web  browser;  (iii)  graphic objects  in  WebAnimator  are expected  to  act as
interactive buttons  that  enable  users  to branch  to  different  paths  in  a
presentation  or to  different Web site  locations; and (iv)  advanced sound and
motion synchronization  tools  are  expected  to  enable  users  to  easily  and
accurately add sound and motion to a presentation or animation.
 
    There  can  be no  assurance that  the Company  can successfully  develop or
manage the  anticipated introduction  of WebAnimator.  If and  when  introduced,
there  can  be no  assurance that  WebAnimator  will achieve  significant market
acceptance. Failure  of WebAnimator  to  achieve significant  market  acceptance
could  have  a  material adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business, financial
condition and results of operations. See "Risk Factors -- Substantial Dependence
on Recent and Anticipated Product Introductions."
 
    CHARTING AND GRAPHICS SOFTWARE
 
    CHART SERVER.  The Company is currently developing an advanced charting  and
graphics  software product, Chart Server, that it currently anticipates shipping
late in 1996 at the earliest. The Company will incorporate into Chart Server its
Visual Library, a logical and consistent interface for the management of  object
technologies.  The  Visual  Library  displays a  graphic  representation  of the
contents files  or objects  on the  same screen  as the  subject document.  Text
fonts,  chart colors, access formats, depth and other chart attributes are saved
and stored in the library while thumbnail representations of the subject  charts
appear  as floating  windows on a  user's screen. This  interface simplifies the
user's ability to create a "compound document," a combination of text,  graphics
and  charting objects,  by enabling  the user to  select and  drag the thumbnail
representation from the  Visual Library and  drop it into  a selected  container
application  such as Microsoft Word or Excel. This interface provides a drag and
drop process for  integrating a  selected diagram or  chart into  a document  in
contrast  to commercially available products that require the time consuming and
complex task of searching through file names  in a menu structure to locate  and
integrate a requested object.
 
    Chart  Server is being designed to  incorporate all of the charting features
currently  offered  in  the  Company's  initial  charting  product,  DeltaGraph.
Specifically,  Chart Server is expected to contain  over 70 chart types and more
than 200  chart  styles,  including pictographs,  histograms,  ternary,  bubble,
three-dimensional,  vector and scatter plots. Chart  Server is being designed to
seamlessly interact with other  software programs that  incorporate OLE 2.0  and
OpenDoc technologies. Chart Server is also being designed to provide a live link
between   a   data   source   and   a   representative   chart.   For   example,
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
any changes made  to data in  one software program  will automatically update  a
Chart Server chart or graph that has been placed in the same or another program,
thereby  enabling users to edit the data contained in graphs and charts directly
in those programs.
 
    Chart Server is being designed to be  used as a stand-alone product or as  a
complementary  product that is  linked to a user's  existing software program or
suite. By linking Chart Server with  its existing software program or suite,  an
organization  will have the  ability to call  up company standard, pre-formatted
graphs and charts including logos, colors and styles for the entire organization
or particular departments in  the organization. These  linkages are designed  to
work  with  software  programs  that  support  OLE  2.0  or  OpenDoc technology,
including  spreadsheets,   word  processing   programs,  databases,   publishing
programs,  and  enterprise-wide  client/server  solutions.  Also  an information
systems manager creating and maintaining an enterprise client/server system will
not be required  to contribute  additional programming time  to provide  company
standardized  charts and graphs,  linked to centralized data,  to the clients on
the system. The  Company believes  that Chart  Server, with  its Visual  Library
interface, will represent an advance over other currently commercially available
products.
 
    There  can be  no assurance  that the  Company can  successfully develop and
manage the anticipated introduction of Chart Server.
 
    DELTAGRAPH-REGISTERED  TRADEMARK-.    The  Company's  initial  charting  and
graphics  software product, DeltaGraph, is used  as either a stand-alone product
or as a  complement to  software programs  such as  spreadsheets, databases  and
presentation  graphics. DeltaGraph offers a  broad range of business, scientific
and technical charts with flexible formatting  features that allow charts to  be
fine  tuned with high  resolution output. Presentation tools  such as slide show
managers  and  outliners  enhance  DeltaGraph's  functionality.  DeltaGraph   is
primarily   used   by   chemists,  biologists,   geologists,   pharmacists,  and
professionals in the financial services, aerospace and publishing industries.
 
    DeltaGraph is  cross-platform  compatible,  thereby  allowing  files,  chart
templates  and page layouts to be  shared between Macintosh and Windows systems.
DeltaGraph can also be used with other applications such as Excel, PageMaker and
Microsoft Word. The product also supports Microsoft OLE 2.0 by enabling the user
to establish links with or embed data or graphics created in other  applications
so  that in the event that original  data is edited, the revisions automatically
are  reflected  in  DeltaGraph  charts.  The  current  domestic  list  price  of
DeltaGraph is $195.
 
    STRUCTURED DRAWING AND DIAGRAMMING SOFTWARE
 
    Drag  'n Draw, which the Company released  in June 1995, is designed to meet
the  diagramming  needs  of   business,  education,  scientific  and   technical
professionals  and home computer users. The  current domestic list price of Drag
'n Draw is $149.
 
    The Company believes  that Drag 'n  Draw represents an  advance in terms  of
ease of use over other commercially available structured drawing and diagramming
products  by offering  the following  key attributes:  (i) easy  manipulation of
pre-drawn graphic  objects; (ii)  simplified creation  of a  customized  graphic
object library; (iii) a "hints and tips" user help system; and (iv) pre-designed
templates and style sheets.
 
    Drag 'n Draw features more than 1,000 pre-drawn objects and geometric shapes
that  can easily  be dragged from  multiple categories of  libraries and dropped
onto the  drawing page.  Users  can also  create  their own  customized  graphic
library  objects by copying and  pasting other drawings into  a library. Drag 'n
Draw also supports OLE technologies so that  the user can insert a Drag 'n  Draw
drawing directly into their own documents while allowing editing of the drawings
in  the Drag 'n Draw program. With this  feature, changes in an original Drag 'n
Draw drawing are automatically updated in any linked document.

    DeltaPoint  publishes Drag 'n Draw under  a three year non-exclusive license
from a third  party licenser. See  "Risk Factors --  Dependence on  Nonexclusive
Software License for Drag 'n Draw" and "-- Proprietary Rights and Licenses."
 
    OTHER PRODUCTS
 
    The   Company  also  markets   graphics  utilities  products   which  it  is
de-emphasizing and which are expected to represent a declining percentage of the
Company's net revenues in the future.
 
CUSTOMERS
 
    The primary users of the  Company's charting and graphing software  products
are companies in the aerospace, business and technology, oil and gas, education,
publishing,  engineering,  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  fields  and government
entities. Since the  shipment of  DeltaGraph in the  last quarter  of 1989,  the
Company  has sold over 290,000 units as of December 31, 1995. The primary target
for Internet customers are expected to  be small business, education, end  users
and  consultants. The Company will also  be targeting large corporations working
to establish Internet communications.
 
SERVICES
 
    DeltaPoint provides free  customer service and  technical support through  a
help  line that is maintained by a permanent staff of five persons. In addition,
on-line support  is given  through  CompuServe, America  Online, and  MCI  Mail.
DeltaPoint  has also established  a Web server from  which it provides technical
support and offers product information and various sales promotions.
 
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
 
    DeltaPoint sells and  markets its software  products through on-site  direct
sales  personnel and through various distributors  that cover the United States,
Canada, Asia-Pacific, Europe and South Africa. For the years ended December  31,
1993,  1994  and  1995 and  the  quarter  ended March  31,  1996,  revenues from
customers outside of North America accounted for approximately 20%, 42%, 40% and
13%, respectively, of the Company's net revenues.
 
    Historically, a  significant portion  of the  Company's revenues  have  been
derived  from sales of DeltaGraph and  the Company's graphics utilities products
through the Company's direct sales force. The Company also markets and sells its
products primarily through two distributors  in North America, Ingram Micro  and
Merisel,  and internationally  through Ingram Micro  (U.K.), SWIP International,
Delta SRL, PRISMA, Alysd, and various  distributors in South Africa, Europe  and
Asia-Pacific,  each of which (with the exception of the Company's distributor in
Japan and France)  market and  sell the  Company's products  on a  non-exclusive
basis.  The Company  is a  party to a  distribution agreement  with its Japanese
distributor, Nippon Polaroid Kabushiki  Kaisha ("Nippon Polaroid"), that  grants
Nippon  Polaroid an exclusive,  non-transferable right to  market and distribute
its  software   in   the   Asia-Pacific  region   both   directly   or   through
sub-distributors.  The  Asia-Pacific region,  includes,  but is  not  limited to
Japan, China,  Korea,  Australia,  and  New  Zealand.  Under  this  distribution
agreement, Nippon Polaroid has the right to distribute current software products
and a right of first refusal with respect to the distribution of future products
developed  by the Company. After 1996, this agreement is automatically renewable
on a  yearly  basis.  Revenues  from licenses  to  Nippon  Polaroid  constituted
approximately 12%, 38%, 35% and 6% of the Company's net revenues for 1993, 1994,
1995 and the quarter ended March 31, 1996, respectively.
 
    Sales to the retail channel in North America are made by DeltaPoint directly
to  such resellers as  Egghead Software, SoftMart,  Software Spectrum, Corporate
Software and Edutech and are also  sold through major catalog merchants such  as
PC/MAC  Connection, Creative Computers and  Microwarehouse. See "Risk Factors --
Risks Associated With Retail Distributing; Substantial Customer Concentration."
 
    The Company seeks  to broaden its  channels of distribution  and intends  to
sell  its products through new distribution channels such as mass merchandisers.
DeltaPoint intends to form additional  strategic associations with hardware  and
software vendors. These potential relationships
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
include  "bundling" and/or cooperative  marketing arrangements. DeltaPoint seeks
to develop products that complement and support those of its strategic partners.
The Company  intends to  expand its  indirect distribution  channels,  including
dealers,  OEMs and VARS in  order to effectively market  and sell QuickSite, and
its anticipated WebAnimator and Chart Server products. DeltaPoint also currently
intends to actively pursue relationships  with enterprise solution providers  as
well as providers of desktop office products.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
    The  Company believes that its future success depends in part on its ability
to maintain and improve its core  technologies, enhance and expand its  products
and  develop new products that meet  evolving customer requirements and industry
standards. The Company's current efforts are  focused on the development of  the
Company's anticipated WebAnimator and Chart Server products.
 
    For  the years ended December 31, 1993,  1994 and 1995 and the quarter ended
March  31,  1996,  the  Company  incurred  approximately  $2,013,000,  $930,000,
$2,036,000  and $486,000,  respectively, on  research and  development expenses.
Included  in  research  and  development  expenses  in  1995  is  a  charge   of
approximately  $1,240,000  resulting from  the  acquisition of  certain Internet
technologies for the portion of the  purchase price determined to be  in-process
research  and development. The Company also  intends to increase its development
activities through the establishment of  strategic alliances. See "Risk  Factors
- --  Rapid Technological Change; Risk of Product  Delays" and "-- Risk of Product
Defects."
 
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES
 
    The Company relies on  a combination of  copyright, trademark, trade  secret
laws,  confidentiality  procedures  and other  intellectual  property protection
methods to protect its proprietary  rights. The Company owns certain  registered
trademarks  in the United  States and abroad.  Although the Company  relies to a
great extent  on  trade  secret  protection for  much  of  its  technology,  and
generally  obtains written confidentiality agreements  from its employees, there
can be no assurance that third  parties will not independently develop the  same
or  similar technology, obtain unauthorized  access to the Company's proprietary
technology or misuse the technology to which the Company has granted access. The
Company believes that, due to the  rapid proliferation of new technology in  the
industry,  legal protection through means such  as the patent and copyright laws
will be less influential on the  Company's ability to compete than such  factors
as  the  creativity of  its development  staff  and its  ability to  develop new
markets and  to service  its customers.  The Company  licenses its  products  to
individual  end users primarily under "shrink  wrap" license agreements that are
included in products  shipped by  the Company  and that  are not  signed by  the
licensees  and  therefore  may  be  unenforceable  under  the  laws  of  certain
jurisdictions. These agreements  provide that  by breaking the  "shrink wrap"  a
software purchaser agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the license
agreement.
 
    There  has been substantial industry  litigation regarding patent, trademark
and other intellectual  property rights involving  technology companies. In  the
future,  litigation  may  be necessary  to  enforce  any patents  issued  to the
Company, to protect  trade secrets, trademarks  and other intellectual  property
rights  owned by the Company, to defend the Company against claimed infringement
of the  rights  of  others and  to  determine  the scope  and  validity  of  the
proprietary  rights of others. Any such litigation could be costly and result in
a diversion of management's attention, which could have material adverse effects
on the  Company's  business,  financial condition  and  results  of  operations.
Adverse  determinations  in such  litigation  could result  in  the loss  of the
Company's proprietary rights,  subject the Company  to significant  liabilities,
require  the Company to seek licenses from  third parties or prevent the Company
from manufacturing or  selling its products,  any of which  could have  material
adverse  effect on  the Company's business,  financial condition  and results of
operations. See  "Risk  Factors  -- Limited  Intellectual  Property  Protection;
Trademark Dispute."
 
    The  laws of certain  foreign countries treat  the protection of proprietary
rights of  the Company  in its  products differently  from those  in the  United
States, and in many cases the protection afforded by
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
such foreign laws is weaker than in the United States. The Company believes that
its  products and  their use  do not  infringe the  proprietary rights  of third
parties. There can be no assurance,  however, that infringement claims will  not
successfully be made.
 
    The  Company has  received and  will continue to  receive from  time to time
communications from  third  parties  asserting  infringement  upon  intellectual
property rights of such parties as a result of either features or content of its
software   products.  Since   July  1995   the  Company   has  received  various
correspondence from Visio Corporation ("Visio") of each contesting the Company's
right to use the product name Drag 'n Draw and asserting that it is  confusingly
similar  to a  registered trademark owned  by Visio. Visio  markets a structured
drawing product that competes with Drag 'n Draw. See "Competition." Although the
Company believes that this assertion lacks merit, there can be no assurance that
the ultimate resolution of the matter will not have a material adverse impact on
the Company's business, financial condition  or results of operations.  Although
the  Company is not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation or
proceedings regarding this matter or any other similar matters, there can be  no
assurance  that the  Company will  not become  involved in  such proceedings for
which the  ultimate resolution  could  have a  material  adverse effect  on  the
Company's business financial condition and results of operations.
 
    In  April 1995, SmartDraw Software, Inc. ("SmartDraw") granted the Company a
non-exclusive  license  to  prepare,   package,  reproduce,  use,   sub-license,
distribute  and sell SmartDraw Pro, version  2.00 ("SmartDraw Pro") for use with
Microsoft Windows 3.1, Microsoft  Windows 95 and  the Macintosh (the  "SmartDraw
Products")  and any derivative of the above products developed by SmartDraw that
incorporates any  part of  the licensed  source code  or modifications  of  such
source  code. The license has a three-year term and is renewable upon the mutual
written consent of the parties  upon such terms and  conditions as agreed to  by
the  parties. SmartDraw  Pro is  packaged software  designed for  use in drawing
flowcharts and other business graphics. The Company's product, Drag 'n Draw,  is
a derivative product of SmartDraw Pro. The Company pays SmartDraw a royalty on a
per  product basis from the licensing,  sale or other commercial exploitation of
the SmartDraw Products. In addition, the Company pays royalties on its  revenues
from  the derivative  products developed  by SmartDraw.  Under the  terms of the
agreement, SmartDraw  is  required  to  indemnify  the  Company  to  the  extent
SmartDraw  does  not own  SmartDraw  Pro or  to  the extent  that  SmartDraw Pro
infringes any copyright, patent, trademark,  trade secret or other  intellectual
property  rights of  any third  party. The  agreement may  be terminated  if the
Company  fails  to  generate  net  revenues  derived  from  SmartDraw   Products
sufficient  to  pay SmartDraw  a specified  minimum in  royalty payments  in any
twelve-month period. The Company has the right during the term of the  agreement
to  obtain  a license  to  view and  modify the  source  code for  the SmartDraw
Products for a specified fee.
 
    In June 1992, the  Company entered into an  agreement (the "Halcyon  License
Agreement")  with Halcyon Software,  Inc. ("Halcyon") pursuant  to which Halcyon
granted the  Company  a  non-exclusive,  perpetual,  sub-licensable  license  to
prepare, make, reproduce, use, perform, modify, adapt, sell or otherwise dispose
of or distribute the following programs and derivative works thereof, whether or
not in combination with or incorporated into any other product: Snap, Thumbnail,
Viewer, Conversion, Trace and Paint (the "Products"). The Company pays Halcyon a
royalty equal to two to five percent of the Company's net revenues received from
sales of the Products, depending on the extent to which the Products incorporate
technology  not  provided by  Halcyon.  To date,  the  Company has  paid Halcyon
non-refundable license  fees  in the  amount  of $150,000.  No  further  royalty
payments are payable until accrued royalty payments exceed $150,000. Pursuant to
the  Halcyon License Agreement, in November 1992  the Company granted Don Hsi an
option to purchase 18,867 shares of Common  Stock at an exercise price of  $6.63
per  share. The option lapsed on February  20, 1996 without being exercised. The
Halcyon License  Agreement has  an indefinite  term, but  is terminable  at  the
Company's  option upon  written notice if  the Company determines  in good faith
that it is  not technically  and commercially  advantageous to  continue with  a
Product.
 
    The  Company  has also  licensed from  Altura  Software Inc.  ("Altura") the
Mac2Win Software for use in creating  a Windows platform version of  DeltaGraph.
The Company was granted a non-exclusive
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
license  to  copy,  distribute and  sublicense  the Mac2Win  Software  only when
packaged with,  and  as  part  of,  DeltaGraph ported  to  run  on  the  Windows
platforms.  The Company  has made a  series of  payments to Altura  in the total
amount of $36,000. License fees of $3,000  per month are payable by the  Company
in  advance during each month the agreement  remains in effect. The Company also
pays a royalty equal  to three percent  of net revenues  received from sales  of
DeltaGraph  ported for the Windows platform with a first year minimum of $36,000
and a  minimum of  $48,000 for  the next  two years.  The license  agreement  is
terminable  by the Company upon 30 days  prior written notice and the payment of
all amounts owed to Altura.
 
    In November 1995,  the Company  acquired core  technology, including  source
code  and related documentation, required  to develop WebAnimator from Knowledge
Vision.  The  purchase  price  for  the  technology  was  $250,000,  payable  in
installments.  The Company will  also pay a  royalty based on  net revenues from
sales of WebAnimator,  if any,  subject to  a maximum.  Under the  terms of  the
acquisition  agreement,  the key  developer  of the  technology  will work  as a
consultant to the Company to assist in developing WebAnimator.
 
    In December 1995,  the Company  acquired core  technology, including  source
code  and  related documentation,  required  to develop  QuickSite,  from Global
Technologies  Corporation,  and  an  individual.  The  purchase  price  for  the
technology  was  (i) $800,000  in cash,  payable in  installments, and  (ii) the
issuance of 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company will  also
pay  a royalty during the  first two years of  commercial shipments of QuickSite
based on net revenues from sales of QuickSite, if any, subject to a maximum  and
subject  to the right of the  Company to pay a portion  of the royalty in Common
Stock. Pursuant  to the  agreement, the  individual became  an employee  of  the
Company to assist in developing QuickSite.
 
COMPETITION
 
    The  Company competes  on the  basis of  certain factors,  including product
quality, first-to-market product capabilities, product performance, ease of use,
customer support and price. The Company believes it currently competes favorably
overall with respect to these factors.
 
    The markets  in  which  the  Company competes  are  highly  competitive  and
characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions,
short  product lives, evolving industry  standards and significant price erosion
over the life  of a product.  The Company anticipates  increased competition  in
these  markets  from  both existing  vendors  and  new market  entrants.  In the
charting market, the  Company has,  to date,  encountered competition  primarily
from  larger  vendors such  as Adobe  Systems Incorporated,  Microsoft, Software
Publishing Corporation, Lotus, Corel and Computer Associates International, Inc.
In the  structured  drawing  market,  the  Company  has,  to  date,  encountered
competition  primarily from larger  vendors such as  Corel, Visio and Micrografx
Incorporated. In the Internet add-in market, the Company anticipates competition
primarily from  Netscape  Communications Corporation,  Macromedia,  Inc.,  Adobe
Systems  Incorporated, Microsoft and Quarterdeck,  Inc. In addition, the Company
expects that existing vendors and new market entrants will develop products that
will compete  directly with  the Company's  products and  that competition  will
increase  significantly to  the extent that  markets for  the Company's products
grow. Increased competition  is likely  to result in  price reductions,  reduced
gross  margins and  loss of  market share,  any of  which could  have a material
adverse effect on  the Company's  business, financial condition  and results  of
operations.  Most  of  the  Company's  current  and  potential  competitors have
substantially  greater  financial,  technical,  marketing,  sales  and  customer
support  resources, greater name recognition and larger installed customer bases
than the Company. Because there are minimal barriers to entry into the  software
market,   the  Company  believes   sources  of  competition   will  continue  to
proliferate.  The  market  for  the  Company's  products  is  characterized   by
significant  price competition, and the Company  expects it will face increasing
pricing pressures.  There  can be  no  assurance the  Company  will be  able  to
maintain  its  historic  pricing structure,  and  an  inability to  do  so would
adversely affect
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
the Company's business, financial  condition and results  of operations. If  the
Company is unable to compete effectively against current and future competitors,
the  Company's business, financial  condition and results  of operations will be
materially adversely affected.
 
FACILITIES
 
    The Company  currently leases  an approximately  12,000 square  foot  office
suite  located at  22 Lower Ragsdale  Drive, Monterey, California  under a lease
that expires in September 1998 with  a monthly rental of approximately  $16,200.
The  Company holds an option to renew such  lease at the end of the initial term
for an  additional  three  year  term.  The  Company  believes  that  these  new
facilities  will be adequate to meet its requirements for the near term and that
additional space will be available on commercially reasonable terms if needed.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    On March 21, 1995,  Ameriquest/Kenfil Inc. ("Kenfil")  filed a complaint  in
the  Superior Court  of the  State of California  before the  county of Monterey
naming the  Company as  defendant  and alleging  (i)  breach of  a  distribution
agreement between Kenfil and the Company (ii) and indebtedness to Kenfil for the
sum  of $233,000 together  with interest thereon  at the rate  of 10% per annum.
Kenfil sought damages, cost of suit and other relief. In April 1996, the Company
entered into  a settlement  agreement with  Kenfil  for the  sum of  $50,000.  A
dismissal  of the complaint  was filed with  the Superior Court  of the State of
California.
 
    With the exception  of the foregoing,  there are no  other material  pending
legal proceedings against the Company.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    As  of  March  31,  1996,  DeltaPoint  had  34  full-time  employees located
throughout the United States.  This number includes 17  persons in Research  and
Development  and  Technical Support,  9 persons  in  Marketing, Sales  and Sales
Support and 8 persons in Operations and Finance. None of the Company's employees
is represented  by  a labor  union  or is  subject  to a  collective  bargaining
agreement. DeltaPoint believes that its relations with its employees are good.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
 
    On  November 10, 1995,  the Company entered  into employment agreements with
Raymond R. Kingman, Jr., who served as President and Chief Executive Officer  of
the  Company until his resignation as an  officer and director on April 5, 1996,
and William G. Pryor, Vice President of Development. The agreements provide  for
a  grant to each  individual of an  option to purchase  100,000 shares of Common
Stock at  an  exercise price  of  $3.50 per  share.  The option  is  immediately
exercisable but
 
                                       33
<PAGE>
subject  to a right of repurchase by  the Company at the original exercise price
paid per share upon the optionee's cessation of service prior to vesting in such
shares. The repurchase right lapses and the optionee vests in a series of  equal
monthly  installments over 36 months, beginning  on the one-month anniversary of
the grant date, and  lapses in full  upon a specified Change  in Control of  the
Company.  A Change in Control includes liquidation or dissolution of the Company
or a  merger or  consolidation in  which at  least fifty  percent (50%)  of  the
Company's  shares are transferred to an entity different than the entity holding
such shares prior to such Change in  Control. Each option has a maximum term  of
ten  (10) years, subject to  earlier termination in the  event of the optionee's
cessation of service with the Company. The agreement also provides that each  of
Messrs.  Kingman and Pryor will receive a severance payment in the amount of six
to twelve months  of his base  salary and  other benefits if  his employment  is
terminated  in certain circumstances,  such as an  involuntary termination other
than for cause  (six months base  salary) or an  involuntary termination  within
twenty-four months of a Change in Control (twelve months base salary).
 
    In  November, 1995,  the Company entered  into an  employment agreement with
Donald B. Witmer, pursuant to which Mr. Witmer became Vice President of  Finance
and  Administration and  Chief Financial Officer  of the  Company. The agreement
provides for an annual salary of $120,000, a $2,000 per month housing  allowance
and  a $500 per month car allowance. The  agreement also provides for a grant of
an option to purchase  135,000 shares of  Common Stock at  an exercise price  of
$3.50 per share. The option is immediately exercisable but subject to a right of
repurchase by the Company at the original exercise price paid per share upon the
optionee's  cessation of service prior to vesting in such shares. The repurchase
right lapses and the  optionee vests in a  series of equal monthly  installments
over  36  months, beginning  on the  date Mr.  Witmer commences  employment, and
lapses in full upon  a specified Change  in Control of  the Company, as  defined
above.  The option  has a  maximum term  of ten  (10) years,  subject to earlier
termination in  the  event of  the  optionee's  cessation of  service  with  the
Company.  The agreement also  provides that Mr. Witmer  will receive a severance
payment in the  amount of  six to  twelve months of  his base  salary and  other
benefits  if his employment  is terminated in certain  circumstances, such as an
involuntary termination other than for cause (six months base salary plus  bonus
and other benefits) or an involuntary termination within twenty-four months of a
Change in Control (twelve months base salary plus bonus and other benefits).
 
    In  March 1996 John  J. Ambrose executed  an offer letter  with the Company,
pursuant to which  Mr. Ambrose was  to become Chief  Executive Officer in  April
1996.  The offer  letter provides  for an annual  salary of  $120,000, a signing
bonus of $25,000 and a grant of  an option to purchase 145,000 shares of  Common
Stock.
 
    On  April  5, 1996,  the  Company entered  into  a Separation  Agreement and
Release with Mr. Kingman in connection  with his resignation which, among  other
things, provided for certain payments and other financial compensation. Pursuant
to  the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed  to pay Mr. Kingman a severance
payment of $108,000  and to accelerate  vesting of 62,500  of his  100,000-share
option  grant. The Company  also agreed to  provide continued health  care for a
period of up to 12 months.
 
EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN
 
    The Company plans to  adopt a bonus plan  for executive officers that  would
provide  for payment  of cash  bonuses based  on individual  and overall Company
performance in 1996. Aggregate bonuses payable  under the plan would not  exceed
10%  of  the Company's  1996  net income.  Adoption of  the  plan is  subject to
approval by the Company's Compensation Committee.

(1) Each  of the  options listed  in the  table is  immediately exercisable. The
    shares purchasable thereunder are  subject to repurchase  by the Company  at
    the  original exercise price paid per share upon the optionee's cessation of
    service prior to vesting in such shares. The repurchase right lapses and the
    optionee vests in  a series  of equal monthly  installments over  thirty-six
    months  of service  commencing on  the date  of grant  of the  option. These
    options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value  of
    the  Company's Common Stock as  determined by the Board  of Directors of the
    Company on the date  of grant. Each  option has a maximum  term of ten  (10)
    years,  subject  to  earlier  termination in  the  event  of  the optionee's
    cessation of employment with the Company.
 
(2) The exercise price may be  paid in cash, in  shares of the Company's  Common
    Stock valued at fair market value on the exercise date or through a cashless
    exercise  procedure involving a  same-day sale of  the purchased shares. The
    Company may  also  finance  the  option exercise  by  loaning  the  optionee
    sufficient  funds  to  pay  the exercise  price  for  the  purchased shares,
    together with any  federal and state  income tax liability  incurred by  the
    optionee in connection with such exercise.
 
    The  following table sets  forth information concerning  option holdings for
the year ended December 31, 1995 with respect to each of the Named Officers.  No
options  were  exercised  by  the  Named Officers  during  such  year.  No stock
appreciation rights were exercised during such  year or were outstanding at  the
end of that year.

1990 KEY EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
    The Company's  1990 Key  Employee  Incentive Stock  Option Plan  (the  "1990
Plan")  was originally  adopted by  the Board of  Directors and  approved by the
Company's shareholders effective July 1, 1990  and was restated by the Board  on
June  17, 1992, which restatement was approved by the shareholders on August 27,
1992. The 1990 Plan authorizes for issuance 38,922 shares of Common Stock. As of
April 22, 1996, 2,143  shares had been  issued under the  1990 Plan, options  to
purchase  an  aggregate  of 12,365  shares  were outstanding  and  24,414 shares
remained  available  for  future  grant.  Shares  of  Common  Stock  subject  to
outstanding  options  which  expire  or  terminate  prior  to  exercise  will be
available for future issuance under the 1990 Plan.
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
    Under the  1990  Plan,  key  employees  (including  officers)  may,  at  the
discretion  of the plan administrator, be  granted options to purchase shares of
Common Stock at an exercise  price not less than the  fair market value of  such
shares on the grant date. Options granted under the 1990 Plan become exercisable
for  25% of the option shares on the first anniversary of the grant date and for
the balance of the  shares in 36 equal  monthly installments thereafter,  unless
otherwise  provided by the plan  administrator. In the event  the Company or its
shareholders enter into an agreement to  dispose of all or substantially all  of
the  assets or  stock of  the Company by  means of  a sale,  a reorganization, a
liquidation or  otherwise,  each  outstanding option  shall  become  immediately
exercisable  in  full for  all  of the  option  shares. Each  such  option shall
thereupon terminate. Each option shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years.
 
    The 1990 Plan may be administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee
of the Board. The plan administrator has complete discretion to determine  which
eligible  individuals are to receive option grants, the number of shares subject
to each such  grant, the status  of any  granted option as  either an  incentive
option  or  a  non-statutory option  under  the  Federal tax  laws,  the vesting
schedule to be in effect  for each option grant and  the maximum term for  which
each granted option is to remain outstanding.
 
    The  exercise price for options  granted under the 1990  Plan may be paid in
cash or in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
    The Board may amend or modify the 1990 Plan at any time. Certain  amendments
require  shareholder approval.  The 1990 Plan  will terminate on  June 30, 2000,
unless sooner terminated by the Board.
 
1992 NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
    The Company's 1992  Non-Statutory Stock  Option Plan (the  "1992 Plan")  was
originally  adopted  by the  Board of  Directors and  approved by  the Company's
shareholders effective July 1, 1992  and was restated by  the Board on June  17,
1992, which restatement was approved by the shareholders on August 27, 1992. The
1992 Plan authorizes for issuance 28,301 shares of Common Stock. As of March 31,
1996,  no shares  had been issued  under the  1992 Plan, options  to purchase an
aggregate of 8,063 shares were outstanding and 20,238 shares remained  available
for  future grant. Shares  of Common Stock subject  to outstanding options which
expire or terminate  prior to  exercise will  be available  for future  issuance
under the 1992 Plan.
 
    Under  the 1992 Plan, key employees  (including officers) and consultants of
the Company or of any subsidiary and certain entities may, at the discretion  of
the  plan administrator, be granted non-statutory  options to purchase shares of
Common Stock at an exercise  price not less than the  fair market value of  such
shares  on the grant date. Options granted  under the 1992 Plan are fully vested
and immediately exercisable on the grant date.  In the event the Company or  its
shareholders  enter into an agreement to dispose  of all or substantially all of
the assets or  stock of  the Company  by means of  a sale,  a reorganization,  a
liquidation  or otherwise, each outstanding option shall thereupon terminate. In
no event, may an option have a term of more than five (5) years.
 
    The 1992 Plan may be administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee
of the Board. The plan administrator has complete discretion to determine  which
eligible  individuals are to receive option grants, the number of shares subject
to each such grant and the terms and conditions of exercise with respect to each
option grant.
 
    The exercise price for options  granted under the 1992  Plan may be paid  in
cash,  in outstanding shares of Common Stock, or through the net exercise of the
option. Shares may be deducted from the shares to be issued upon exercise of  an
option  granted  under  the  1992  Plan to  satisfy  the  optionee's  income tax
withholding obligations.  Options may  also  be exercised  on a  cashless  basis
through the same-day sale of the purchased shares.
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
    The  plan administrator has the authority to  effect, from time to time, the
cancellation of outstanding  options under the  1992 Plan, in  exchange for  the
grant  of new options for the same or  different number of option shares with an
exercise price per share based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the new grant date.
 
    The Board may amend or modify the 1992 Plan at any time. Certain  amendments
require  shareholder approval.  The 1992 Plan  will terminate on  June 30, 2002,
unless sooner terminated by the Board.
 
1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
    The Company's 1995 Stock  Option Plan (the "1995  Plan") was adopted by  the
Board  of Directors  on November  8, 1995, and  approved by  shareholders of the
Company in  December, 1995.  The Company  initially reserved  620,000 shares  of
Common  Stock for issuance under  the 1995 Plan. On  February 15, 1996 and April
22, 1996, the  Board of  Directors approved a  total share  increase of  200,000
shares  to  be reserved  for issuance  under  the 1995  Plan to  820,000 shares,
subject to obtaining  shareholder approval  of such  increase. As  of April  22,
1996,  no shares had been issued under the 1995 Plan, options for 619,894 shares
were outstanding and  106 of the  initial 620,000 shares  reserved for  issuance
under  the 1995 Plan remained available for future grant. Shares of Common Stock
subject to outstanding options which expire or terminate prior to exercise  will
be available for future issuance under the 1995 Plan.
 
    Under   the  1995  Plan,  employees  (including  officers)  and  independent
consultants may, at the discretion of the plan administrator, be granted options
to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price not less than 85% of the
fair market value of such shares on the grant date. Non-employee members of  the
Board of Directors will be eligible solely for automatic option grants under the
1995 Plan.
 
    The  1995  Plan may  be administered  by the  Compensation Committee  of the
Board. The Compensation  Committee has  complete discretion  to determine  which
eligible  individuals are to receive option grants, the number of shares subject
to each such  grant, the status  of any  granted option as  either an  incentive
option  or  a  non-statutory option  under  the  Federal tax  laws,  the vesting
schedule to be in effect  for each option grant and  the maximum term for  which
each  granted option is to remain outstanding. In no event, however, may any one
participant in the 1995 Plan acquire shares of Common Stock under the 1995  Plan
in  excess of 360,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to shareholder approval at
the 1996 Annual Meeting, of the total share reserve.
 
    The exercise price for options  granted under the 1995  Plan may be paid  in
cash  or in outstanding shares of Common Stock. Options may also be exercised on
a cashless  basis  through  the  same-day sale  of  the  purchased  shares.  The
Compensation  Committee may also  permit the optionee to  pay the exercise price
through a promissory note  payable in installments over  a period of years.  The
amount  financed may  include any Federal  or state income  and employment taxes
incurred by reason of the option exercise.
 
    Each option granted to an officer of the Company subject to the  short-swing
profit  restrictions of  the Federal  securities laws  includes a  special stock
appreciation right that provides that, upon the acquisition of more than 50%  of
the  Company's outstanding voting stock pursuant to a hostile tender offer, such
option, if  outstanding for  at least  six  months, may  be surrendered  to  the
Company in exchange for a cash distribution to the officer based upon the tender
offer  price per share  of Common Stock  at the time  subject to the surrendered
option.
 
    The Compensation Committee has the authority  to effect, from time to  time,
the  cancellation of outstanding options  under the 1995 Plan  in return for the
grant of new options for the same  or different number of option shares with  an
exercise price per share based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the new grant date.

<PAGE>
    In the event the Company is acquired by merger, consolidation or asset sale,
except  as provided  otherwise in specific  option grants, the  shares of Common
Stock subject to each option  outstanding at the time  under the 1995 Plan  will
immediately  vest in full, except to  the extent the Company's repurchase rights
with respect to those  shares are to  be assigned to  the acquiring entity,  and
options  will accelerate to the extent not  assumed by the acquiring entity. The
Compensation Committee also has  discretion to provide  for the acceleration  of
one  or more outstanding options  under the 1995 Plan  and the vesting of shares
subject to outstanding  options upon  the occurrence of  certain hostile  tender
offers.  Such  accelerated  vesting  may  be  conditioned  upon  the  subsequent
termination of the affected optionee's service.
 
    Under the automatic grant program, each individual who first joins the Board
as a non-employee director on or after the effective date of the 1995 Plan  will
receive  at that  time, an  automatic option grant  for 20,000  shares of Common
Stock. In addition, at each annual shareholders meeting, beginning in 1997, each
non-employee director will automatically be granted at that meeting, whether  or
not  he or she is  standing for re-election at  that particular meeting, a stock
option to purchase 1,000  shares of Common Stock,  provided such individual  has
served  on the Board for at least six  months prior to such meeting. Each option
will have an exercise price equal to  the fair market value of the Common  Stock
on  the automatic grant date and a maximum term of ten years, subject to earlier
termination following the  optionee's cessation  of Board  service. Each  option
will  be immediately exercisable  for all of  the shares but  the shares will be
subject to repurchase at original cost. The repurchase right shall lapse and the
optionee vest in a series of three equal annual installments over the optionee's
period of  Board service,  beginning  one year  from  the grant  date.  However,
vesting  of the shares will automatically  accelerate upon (i) an acquisition of
the Company by merger, consolidation or asset sale, (ii) a hostile take-over  of
the Company effected by tender offer for more than 50% of the outstanding voting
stock  or proxy contest for Board membership or (iii) the death or disability of
the optionee while serving as a Board member.
 
    In the event that  more than 50% of  the Company's outstanding voting  stock
were  to be acquired pursuant  to a hostile tender  offer, each automatic option
grant that has been outstanding  for at least six  months may be surrendered  by
the  optionee in return for a cash  distribution from the Company based upon the
tender offer price per share of Common Stock at the time subject to the canceled
option.
 
    The Board may amend or modify the 1995 Plan at any time. The 1995 Plan  will
terminate on November 7, 2005, unless sooner terminated by the Board.
 
401(K) PLAN
 
    During  1992,  the Company  established  a deferred  compensation  plan (the
"401(k) Plan") pursuant  to Section  401(k) of  the Internal  Revenue Code  (the
"Code"),  whereby substantially all  employees are eligible  to contribute up to
20% of their pre-tax earnings, not to exceed amounts allowed under the Code. The
Company may make contributions to the 401(k) Plan at the discretion of the Board
of Directors. No Company contributions have been made to the 401(k) Plan by  the
Company.
 
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
 
    The Company has adopted provisions in its Restated Articles of Incorporation
that  eliminate  to  the fullest  extent  permissible under  California  law the
liability of its directors to the Company for monetary damages. Such  limitation
of  liability does  not affect  the availability  of equitable  remedies such as
injunctive relief or rescission. The  Company's Bylaws provide that the  Company
shall  indemnify its directors  and officers to the  fullest extent permitted by
California law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise
discretionary under California law. The Company has entered into indemnification
agreements with  its  officers and  directors  containing provisions  which  may
require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the officers and directors
against  certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct
of a culpable nature), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any
proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
 
                                       38
<PAGE>
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities  Act
may  be permitted  to directors, officers  and controlling persons  of the small
business issuer pursuant to  the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, the  small
business  issuer has  been advised  that in  the opinion  of the  Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is  against public policy as  expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
    In  the  event that  a claim  for  indemnification against  such liabilities
(other than the  payment by the  small business issuer  of expenses incurred  or
paid  by a director, officer or controlling  person of the small business issuer
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the  matter has  been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of
appropriate jurisdiction  the question  whether such  indemnification by  it  is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
 
    At  the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving
a  director,  officer,  employee  or  other  agent  of  the  Company  in   which
indemnification  would be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any
threatened litigation  or  proceeding which  may  result  in a  claim  for  such
indemnification.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
    As of March 31, 1996 the Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, no  par value,  and 4,000,000 shares  of Preferred  Stock, no  par
value.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    As  of  April  24,  1996,  there  were  2,215,243  shares  of  Common  Stock
outstanding held  of record  by approximately  40 shareholders.  The holders  of
Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by
shareholders.  In  the  election  of directors,  however,  cumulative  voting is
authorized for all shareholders  if any shareholder gives  notice at a  meeting,
prior  to  voting for  the election  of directors,  of his  or her  intention to
cumulate votes. Subject to  the prior rights of  holders of Preferred Stock,  if
any, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any,
as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion
from  funds legally  available therefor. The  Common Stock has  no preemptive or
other subscription rights and  there are no conversion  rights or redemption  or
sinking  fund provisions  with respect  to such  shares. All  of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
    At the  closing  of the  Company's  IPO  in December  1995,  all  previously
outstanding  shares of Preferred Stock were  converting into Common Stock. As of
March 31, 1996, the  Company is authorized  to issue up  to 4,000,000 shares  of
undesignated  Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors will have the authority to
issue the undesignated  Preferred Stock in  one or  more series and  to fix  the
rights,  preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any
wholly unissued shares of  undesignated Preferred Stock, as  well as to fix  the
number  of shares constituting  any series and the  designations of such series,
without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The Board of  Directors,
without  shareholder  approval,  may  issue  Preferred  Stock  with  voting  and
conversion rights which could  materially adversely affect  the voting power  of
the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock could also decrease
the  amount  of earnings  and assets  available for  distribution to  holders of
Common Stock. In addition, the issuance  of Preferred Stock may have the  effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
 
WARRANTS
 
    The  Company issued Warrants  to purchase an aggregate  of 125,000 shares of
Common Stock on November 6, 1995.  The Warrants are exercisable for a  five-year
period  commencing on November  6, 1995. The  exercise price of  the Warrants is
$7.20 per share of  Common Stock through  June 26, 1998 and  $8.40 per share  of
Common   Stock  thereafter  through  November  6,  2000.  The  Warrants  contain
anti-dilution  provisions   providing   adjustment   in   the   event   of   any
recapitalization,  stock  dividend,  stock  split  or  similar  transaction. The
Warrants do not entitle the holder thereof to any rights as a shareholder of the
Company until such warrant is exercised and shares are purchased thereunder. The
Warrants and the shares of Common Stock  thereunder may not be offered for  sale
except  in  compliance with  the applicable  provisions  of the  Securities Act.
Holder  of  Warrants   have  registration  rights   as  summarized  below.   See
"Registration Rights."
 
    The  Company issued  to the  Representative the  Representative's Warrant to
purchase for  investment  a maximum  of  110,000  shares of  Common  Stock.  The
Representative's  Warrant is exercisable  for a four-year  period commencing one
year from December 20, 1995. The exercise price of the Representative's  Warrant
will  be $7.20 per share. The  Representative's Warrant will not be transferable
prior to its exercise date except to officers of the Representative and  members
of  the selling  group and officers  and partners  thereof. The Representative's
Warrant contains anti-dilution provisions providing  adjustment in the event  of
any  recapitalization, stock dividend,  stock split or  similar transaction. The
Representative's Warrant does not entitle the Representative to any rights as  a
shareholder  of  the Company  until  such warrant  is  exercised and  shares are
purchased thereunder.  The Representative's  Warrant and  the shares  of  Common
Stock  thereunder may  not be  offered for  sale except  in compliance  with the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act. The Company has agreed that, if  it
shall  cause to be filed  with the Securities and  Exchange Commission either an
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
amendment to the Registration Statement  filed upon the initial public  offering
of  the  Company in  December, 1995  or a  separate registration  statement, the
Representative has  the right  during the  five-year period  which commenced  on
December  19,  1995  to  include in  such  amendment  or  Registration Statement
Representative's Warrant  and  the shares  of  Common Stock  issuable  upon  its
exercise  at  no expense  to the  Representative  Additionally, the  Company has
agreed that, upon written request by a holder  or holders of 50% or more of  the
warrant  which is made  during the exercise  period of the  warrant, the Company
will, on two separate occasions, register  the warrant and the shares of  Common
Stock  issuable upon exercise thereof. The  initial such registration will be at
the Company's expense and the second such registration will be at the expense of
the holder(s) of such Warrant.
 
CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND WARRANTS
 
    In March 1993, the Company issued Convertible Notes in the principal  amount
of  $150,000 to each of Hummer Winblad  Ventures and Oak Affiliates. In November
1995, each of Hummer Winblad Ventures  and Oak Investment agreed to convert  the
principal  amount of the Convertible Notes,  plus accrued interest, into a total
of 63,334 shares of Common Stock on December 26, 1995. In consideration for such
agreement, in November 1995 the Company  issued each of Hummer Winblad  Ventures
and  Oak  Investment  a  warrant  to  purchase  31,667  shares  of  Common Stock
exercisable at a price of  $7.20 per share for a  period of 30 months  following
December  26, 1995 and a  price of $8.40 per  share thereafter through that date
which is 60 months following December  26, 1995. In addition, in November  1995,
each   of  Hummer  Winblad  Ventures  and  Oak  Investment  agreed  to  exchange
outstanding warrants to purchase  Common Stock for the  same number of  warrants
with the terms described in the preceding sentence.
 
    In  November 1995, the  Company issued Series  E Preferred Stock convertible
into 250,000 shares of Common Stock  and warrants to purchase 125,000 shares  of
Common  Stock for $765,000, net of issuance  costs. See "Warrants." The terms of
these warrants are identical to  those aforementioned warrants issued to  Hummer
Winblad Ventures and Oak Investment. See "Certain Transactions."
 
    In  addition,  the Company  has other  outstanding  warrants to  purchase an
aggregate of 72,838 shares  of Common Stock  at an exercise  price of $7.20  per
share.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
    After  this Offering, the holders of  approximately 528,316 shares of Common
Stock ("Registrable Securities"), representing shares issued upon conversion  of
the  Company's outstanding  Preferred Stock  and Convertible  Notes and issuable
upon conversion of  outstanding warrants,  are entitled to  certain rights  with
respect  to the  registration of  such shares under  the Securities  Act. If the
Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act  for
its  own account,  holders of Registrable  Securities are entitled  to notice of
such registration and  are entitled to  include Registrable Securities  therein,
provided,  among other  conditions, that the  underwriters of  any such offering
have the  right to  limit the  number of  shares included  in such  registration
(subject  to certain limitations).  The Company is not  obligated to effect more
than two  of  these  shareholder-initiated registrations.  Further,  holders  of
Registrable  Securities may require the  Company to file additional registration
statements on Form S-3, subject to certain conditions and limitations.
 
    The Company has agreed with (i)  Hummer Winblad Ventures and Oak  Affiliates
as  to the warrants issued  by the Company to  them in November 1995 exercisable
for 63,334 shares of Common Stock and as to the Convertible Notes held by  them,
convertible  along with accrued interest, into 63,334 shares of Common Stock and
(ii) the other  holders of  warrants, excluding  the 125,000  Warrants that  are
being registered hereby, exercisable for an aggregate of 82,213 shares of Common
Stock,  that it will file a registration statement to register the resale of the
Common Stock  issuable  upon the  conversion  and  exercise of  such  notes  and
warrants,  respectively. Further, the Company has agreed that, thereafter to the
extent necessary to permit  resale of such Common  Stock, the Company shall  use
its  best efforts to  maintain the effectiveness  of such registration statement
and keep current the
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
prospectus included therein until the Company  is satisfied that Rule 144(k)  is
available  for the resale by the then-current  holders of such Common Stock, but
in no event later than three years following effective date of this Offering.
 
    The Company  has also  granted  registration rights  to  the holder  of  the
Representatives'  Warrant,  which provide  such  holder with  certain  rights to
register such warrant and the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrant.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
    The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is U.S. Stock Transfer
Corporation.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Sale of substantial  amounts of  the Company's  Common Stock  in the  public
market  or  the prospect  of such  sales could  materially adversely  affect the
market price  of  the  Common Stock.  As  of  March 31,  1996  the  Company  had
outstanding  2,215,243 shares  of Common Stock.  Of these  shares, (i) 1,265,000
shares were sold to  the public in  the Company's IPO  and are freely  tradeable
without   restriction  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the
"Securities Act"), unless purchased by "affiliates" of the Company as that  term
is  defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and (ii) the remaining 950,243
shares are restricted  shares ("Restricted  Shares") under  the Securities  Act.
Holders of approximately 654,050 Restricted Shares have entered into contractual
"lockup"  agreements providing that they will  not offer, sell, contract to sell
or grant any  option to purchase  or otherwise  dispose of the  shares of  stock
owned by them or that could be purchased by them through the exercise of options
to  purchase stock  of the  Company, until  January 19,  1997 without  the prior
written consent of H.J.  Meyers & Co.  In addition, the  holders of the  250,000
Shares  and  125,000 of  the  Warrant Shares  offered  hereby have  entered into
contractual lockup agreements providing that they will not offer, sell, contract
to sell or grant any  option to purchase or otherwise  dispose of the shares  of
stock  owned by them or that could be  purchased by them through the exercise of
options to purchase stock of the Company, up to December 20, 1996 provided  that
(i)  up to 25% of such 250,000  Shares and 125,000 Warrant Shares (collectively,
"Special Restricted Shares") may  be sold following 90  days after the  December
20,  1995, (ii) up to an additional 25%  of the Special Restricted Shares may be
sold following 180  days after the  December 20, 1995,  and (iii) and  up to  an
additional  25% of the Special Restricted Shares  may be sold following 270 days
after the December  20, 1995.  The remaining  21,193 Restricted  Shares are  not
subject   to  contractual  "lock-up"  agreements.  If  the  holders  of  Special
Restricted  Shares  exercise  registration  rights  relating  to  such   shares,
additional shares of Common Stock could be available for sale during the periods
indicated  in this paragraph. Sales in  the public market of substantial amounts
of Common  Stock (including  sales in  connection with  an exercise  of  certain
registration  rights relating  to approximately shares  of Common  Stock) or the
perception that such sales  could occur could  depress prevailing market  prices
for the Common Stock. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights."
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
    The  Company has been advised by the Selling Shareholders that they may sell
all or a portion of the Shares and the Warrants from time to time on the  Nasdaq
Small  Cap Market System at prices and at  terms prevailing at the time of sale.
The Shares and the Warrants may be sold by one or more of the following methods:
(a) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to  sell
the  Shares and the Warrants as an agent,  but may position and resell a portion
of the block  as principal  to facilitate the  transaction; (b)  purchases by  a
broker  or dealer as principal  and resale by such broker  or dealer for its own
account pursuant to  this Prospectus;  (c) an  over-the-counter distribution  in
accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Small Cap Market System and (d) ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers.
There  is no assurance that any of the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all
of the Shares or Warrants offered by them.
 
                                       46
<PAGE>
    In effecting sales, brokers or  dealers engaged by the Selling  Shareholders
may  arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders in amounts to  be
negotiated  prior to the sale. Participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to
be "underwriters" within the meaning of  the Securities Act, in connection  with
such  sales. The  Company will  not receive  any proceeds  from the  sale of the
Shares or Warrants by the Selling Shareholders.
 
    The Company may  at its  discretion withdraw the  Registration Statement  of
which this Prospectus constitutes a part at any time.
 
    The  Warrant Shares  may be issued  from time  to time upon  exercise of the
Warrants.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
    The validity of  the Shares,  the Warrants  and the  Warrant Shares  offered
hereby  will  be  passed  upon  for  the  Company  by  Gunderson  Dettmer Stough
Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP, Palo Alto, California.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of DeltaPoint, Inc.
 
    In  our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statement of
operations, of shareholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows present  fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of DeltaPoint, Inc. at December
31,  1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity  with generally accepted accounting  principles.
These  financial statements are the  responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements  based
on  our audits. We conducted  our audits of these  statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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,
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, and  evaluating the  overall  financial statement  presentation.  We
believe  that our  audits provide a  reasonable basis for  the opinion expressed
above.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    DeltaPoint,  Inc. (the Company)  was incorporated in  California in February
1989. The Company designs, develops and markets visualization software  products
that are designed to facilitate the collection, interpretation and management of
business  and technical information across  multiple computing environments such
as desktop and client/server applications and the Internet's World Wide Web. The
principal markets for the Company's products are North America and Japan.
 
    The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies:
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions that  affect the  reported  amounts of  assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure  of contingent  assets and liabilities  at the date  of the financial
statements and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    The  Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 91-1 (SOP 91-1) on  Software
Revenue Recognition.
 
    Software  product sales are recognized upon  shipment of the product, net of
appropriate allowances  for  estimated  returns  and  exchanges.  Revenues  from
software  royalty and  packaging agreements  are recognized  upon shipment  of a
master copy  of the  software product  and packaging  if no  significant  vendor
obligations  remain  under the  terms of  the agreements,  any amounts  paid are
nonrefundable and  collection  is  probable. Payments  received  in  advance  of
revenue  recognition  are  recorded  as  deferred  revenue.  The  Company grants
distributors and  resellers  certain  rights  of  return  and  exchanges,  price
protection  and  stock  rotation  rights  on  unsold  merchandise.  Accordingly,
reserves  for  estimated  future  returns,  exchanges  and  credits  for   price
protection  and  stock  rotation rights  are  accrued upon  shipment  based upon
historical experience.
 
    The Company provides a limited amount of free telephone technical support to
customers. These activities are generally considered insignificant post contract
customer support obligations. Estimated costs of these activities are accrued at
the time of product shipment.
 
    Revenue from international customers, primarily in Japan accounted for  42%,
40%,  23% and 13% of net revenues in 1994, 1995 and the three months ended March
31, 1995 and  1996, respectively. Sales  to customers  in excess of  10% of  net
revenues is presented below:

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  with  an original
maturity of three months or  less to be cash  equivalents. Included in the  cash
equivalent  balance at  December 31,  1995, were  $2,000,000 in  certificates of
deposit. Effective January 1, 1994,  the Company adopted Statement of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 115,  "Accounting for Certain  Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities"  (FAS 115).  FAS  115 requires  investment securities  to  be
classified  as  either held  to  maturity, trading  or  available for  sale. The
Company did not have any short-term investments outstanding at December 31, 1994
and 1995.
 
    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
    The Company accounts for its employee  stock option plan in accordance  with
provisions  of the Accounting  Principles Board Opinion  No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25).  In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board released  Statement of  Financial Accounting  Standards No 123,
"Accounting for  Stock  Based  Compensation"  (FAS 123).  FAS  123  provides  an
alternative to APB 25 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,  1995. The Company  expects to continue  to account for  it's employee stock
option plan in accordance with the provisions of APB 25. Accordingly FAS 123  is
not  expected to have a  material impact on the  Company's financial position or
results of operations.
 
    INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on
the first-in, first-out method.
 
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment are  stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided  using
the  straight-line method  based upon  the estimated  useful life  of the assets
ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over  the
shorter  of the remaining term of the lease  or the estimated useful life of the
asset.
 
    PURCHASED SOFTWARE
 
    Purchased software is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight line
method over the three-year estimated useful life of the asset.
 
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Research and  development  costs  are expensed  as  incurred.  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting Standards No.  86 (FAS 86)  requires the capitalization of
certain  software   development   costs  once   technological   feasibility   is
established.  The capitalized costs are then  amortized on a straight-line basis
over the estimated product life,  or on the ratio  of current revenues to  total
projected  product  revenues, whichever  is  greater. Based  upon  the Company's
product development  process,  technological  feasibility  is  established  upon
completion  of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion
of the working model  and the point  at which the product  is ready for  general
release  have been  insignificant and accordingly  have not  been capitalized as
software development costs.
 
    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
 
    Financial instruments that  potentially subject the  Company to  significant
concentrations  of  credit  risks  consist  principally  of  cash  and  accounts
receivable. The  Company  places  its  cash in  interest  bearing  accounts  and
certificates  of  deposit in  high quality  financial institutions.  The Company
sells its  products primarily  to  end-users, distributors  and resellers  in  a
variety  of industries  located primarily  in the  United States  and Japan. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
of its customers' financial condition and generally requires no collateral  from
its  customers. The  Company maintains  an allowance  for uncollectible accounts
receivable based upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. To
date, the Company has not experienced any material losses.
 
    At  December  31,  1994  three  customers  accounted  for  49%  of  accounts
receivable.  At December 31,  1995 five customers accounted  for 86% of accounts
receivable. At  March 31,  1996 four  customers accounted  for 79%  of  accounts
receivable.
 
    NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
    Net  income (loss) per  share is based  upon the weighted  average number of
common and  common  equivalent  shares outstanding  during  the  period.  Common
equivalent  shares consist  of warrants  and stock  options (using  the treasury
stock method). Common  equivalent shares  are excluded from  the computation  if
their  effect  is  anti-dilutive except  that,  pursuant to  the  Securities and
Exchange Commission  Staff Accounting  Bulletins, common  and common  equivalent
shares  issued during the period  from November 1994 to  November 1995 have been
included in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods  through
November  1995 (using the treasury stock method  for the options and warrants at
the initial public offering price).  As a result of  the loss incurred in  1995,
the  common equivalent shares were anti-dilutive and, accordingly, were excluded
from the computation of loss per share for that year.
 
    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The carrying  amount  of  the  Company's  financial  instruments,  including
accounts receivable and notes payable, approximates fair values.
 
    INCOME TAXES
 
    The  Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as
set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" (FAS 109). Under FAS 109, deferred tax liabilities and assets  are
recognized  for the  expected future  tax consequences  of temporary differences
between the  carrying amounts  and the  tax bases  of the  Company's assets  and
liabilities.
 
    INTERIM RESULTS (UNAUDITED)
 
    The  accompanying  balance sheet  as of  March 31,  1996, the  statements of
operations and of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
and the statements of shareholders' equity for the three months ended March  31,
1996  are  unaudited. In  the opinion  of management,  the statements  have been
prepared on the same basis as  the audited financial statements and include  all
adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the
fair statement of the  results of interim periods.  The data disclosed in  these
notes to financial statements for these periods are also unaudited.

    Included  in the  December 31,  1994, 1995  and March  31, 1996  balances of
computer  equipment   and  software   are  $531,000,   $531,000  and   $547,000,
respectively,  of assets acquired under capital leases. Accumulated depreciation
associated with these  leases approximates  $438,000, $481,000  and $493,000  at
December 31, 1994, December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively.
 
    In  November  and  December  1995,  the  Company  acquired  certain Internet
technologies, including the source code and related documentation. The aggregate
purchase price of these technologies was $1,690,000, which was comprised of  (i)
$1,090,000  in cash,  payable in installments  through August 1996  and (ii) the
issuance of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company will  also
be  required to  pay royalties  on sales  of the  products developed  from these
technologies. No amounts were due under the royalty agreement during 1995.
 
    Approximately $1,240,000 of the purchase  price was allocated to  in-process
technology.  In connection with these  acquisitions, the Company determined that
the majority of the purchase price represented in-process technology and because
such technology had not reached the  stage of technological feasibility and  had
no alternative future use, the amount was immediately charged to operations.

          TRANSACTIONS:
    At December 31, 1994, the Company had $300,000 of 10% interest bearing notes
due  to certain preferred  shareholders. In connection with  the issuance of the
notes, the Company granted the note holders warrants to purchase 1,358 shares of

of mandatorily  redeemable  convertible  preferred  stock  any  time  after  the
original due date of the notes.
 
    In  November 1995, preferred shareholders agreed to exchange the $300,000 of

into  an aggregate  of 63,334  shares of common  stock and  warrants to purchase
63,334 shares of common stock exercisable at a price of $7.20 per share for  the
first  30 months of  the warrant term and  $8.40 per share  for the remaining 30
months of the warrant term. The warrants are exercisable through November  2000.
Such  notes and  accrued interest  thereon were  converted into  common stock in
connection with the Company's initial public offering in December 1995.
 
    The  Company  purchases  goods  and  services  from  a  supplier  who  is  a
shareholder  of  the Company.  Purchases  from this  supplier  totaled $470,000,
$354,000, $67,000 and $62,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and
the three months  ended March 31,  1995 and 1996,  respectively. Amounts due  to

    On March 21, 1995,  Ameriquest/Kenfil Inc. ("Kenfil")  filed a complaint  in
the  Superior Court  of the  State of California  before the  county of Monterey
naming the  Company as  defendant  and alleging  (i)  breach of  a  distribution
agreement between Kenfil and the Company (ii) and indebtedness to Kenfil for the
sum  of $233,000 together  with interest thereon  at the rate  of 10% per annum.
Kenfil was seeking damages,  cost of suit  and other relief.  In April 1996  the

Kenfil has filed a dismissal of the  complaint with prejudice on April 26,  1996
with the Superior Court of California.
 
    In  the normal course  of business, the  Company from time  to time receives

it is unlikely that the outcome of these inquiries will have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

    The Company has determined that, under FAS  109, it is more likely than  not
that  the deferred tax  assets at December  31, 1995 would  not be realized and,
accordingly,  a  full  valuation  reserve  has  been  established.  Management's
assessment is based on the Company's history of net operating losses.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
    As  permitted by Section  204(a) of the  California General Corporation Law,
the Registrant's  Articles  of  Incorporation eliminate  a  director's  personal
liability  for monetary damages to the  Registrants and its shareholders arising
from a breach  or alleged breach  of the director's  fiduciary duty, except  for
liability  arising  under  Sections  310  and  316  of  the  California  General
Corporation Law or liability for (i) acts or omissions that involve  intentional
misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that
a  director believes to be  contrary to the best  interests of the Registrant or
its shareholders or that involve  the absence of good faith  on the part of  the
director,  (iii)  any  transaction from  which  a director  derived  an improper
personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for  the
director's  duty to the Registrant or its shareholders in circumstances in which
the director was aware,  or should have  been aware, in  the ordinary course  of
performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the Registrant or
its  shareholders and (v) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern
of inattention  that amounts  to an  abdication of  the director's  duty to  the
Registrants   or  its  shareholders.  This  provision  does  not  eliminate  the
directors' duty of  care, and  in appropriate  circumstances equitable  remedies
such  as  an  injunction or  other  forms  of non-monetary  relief  would remain
available under California law.
 
    Sections 204(a) and 317 of the California General Corporation Law  authorize
a  corporation to indemnify its directors,  officers, employees and other agents
in terms sufficiently broad  to permit indemnification (including  reimbursement
for  expense)  under certain  circumstances  for liabilities  arising  under the
Securities Act  of 1933,  as amended  (the "Securities  Act"). The  Registrant's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions covering indemnification
of  corporate directors, officers  and other agents  against certain liabilities
and expenses incurred as a result of proceedings involving such persons in their
capacities as directors,  officers, employees or  agents, including  proceedings
under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
Company  has  entered into  Indemnification  Agreements with  its  directors and
executive officers.
 
    At present,  there  is  no  pending litigation  or  proceeding  involving  a
director,   officer,  employee  or  other  agent  of  the  Registrant  in  which
indemnification is being sought, nor is  the Registrant aware of any  threatened
litigation  that  may result  in a  claim for  indemnification by  any director,
officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant.
 
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
 
    The  following  table  sets  forth  the  costs  and  expenses,  other   than
underwriting  discounts and  commissions, payable  by the  Company in connection
with the  sale of  Common Stock,  Warrants and  the Common  Stock issuable  upon
exercise  of the Warrants being registered. All amounts are estimates except the
SEC registration fee.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
 
    Insofar  as indemnification by the  Registrant for liabilities arising under
the Securities  Act may  be  permitted to  directors, officers  and  controlling
persons  of the Registrant pursuant  to the provisions referenced  in Item 14 of
this Registration Statement or otherwise,  the Registrant has been advised  that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against  public policy  as expressed in  the Securities Act,  and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In  the  event that  a  claim for  indemnification  against  such
liabilities  (other than the  payment by the Registrant  of expenses incurred or
paid by a  director, officer,  or controlling person  of the  Registrant in  the
successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered  hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter  has been  settled by  controlling precedent,  submit to  a court  of
appropriate  jurisdiction  the question  whether such  indemnification by  it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
 
    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
    That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information  omitted  from  the  form  of  Prospectus  filed  as  part  of  this
Registration  Statement in reliance  upon Rule 430A  and contained in  a form of
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant  to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or  497(h)
under  the  Securities Act  shall  be deemed  to  be part  of  this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    To file,  during any  period in  which offers  or sales  are being  made,  a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
        (i)  To  include  any prospectus  required  by section  10(a)(3)  of the
    Securities Act of 1933;
 
        (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after  the
    effective   date  of  the   registration  statement  (or   the  most  recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the  aggregate,
    represent  a  fundamental  change  in  the  information  set  forth  in  the
    registration statement;
 
       (iii) To include  any material information  with respect to  the plan  of
    distribution  not previously disclosed in  the registration statement or any
    material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
    For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,  each
post-effective  amendment that contains a form  of Prospectus shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and
the  offering of such securities at that time  shall be deemed to be the initial

               Re:  Registration Statement on Form SB-2
                    -----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

               We have examined the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File 
No. 333-3784) originally filed by DeltaPoint, Inc. (the "Company") with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 15, 1996, as 
thereafter amended or supplemented (the "Registration Statement"), in 
connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended 
(the "Act"), of 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"), 
261,172 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants") and 261,172 shares of 
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares").  
As your counsel in connection with this transaction, we have examined the 
proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken 
by you in connection with the registration under the Act of the offer and 
sale of the Shares and the Warrants by the Selling Shareholders and the 
issuance of the Warrant Shares by you.

               It is our opinion that, upon conclusion of the proceedings 
being taken or contemplated by us, as your counsel, to be taken prior to the 
offer and sale of the Shares and the Warrants by the Selling Shareholders and 
the issuance of the Warrant Shares by you and upon completion of the 
proceedings being taken in order to permit such transactions to be carried 
out in accordance with the securities laws of the various states where 
required, the Shares and the Warrants, when sold in the manner described in 
the Registration Statement and the applicable agreements and documents 
referred to in the exhibits thereto, will be legally and validly issued and, 
to our knowledge, fully paid and non-assessable, and that the Warrant 
Shares, when issued upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their 
terms and in the manner described in the Registration Statement and 
applicable agreements and documents referred to in the exhibits thereto, will 
be legally and validly issued and, to our knowledge, fully paid and 
non-assessable.

               We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to said
Registration Statement, and further consent to the use of our name under the
caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement, including the prospectus
constituting a part thereof, and in any amendment or supplement thereto.


                                   Very truly yours,


                                   /s/ Gunderson Dettmer Stough
