                   NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 UNAUDITED


NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:


     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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 
financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring 
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial 
position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods 
presented have been made. The interim results are not necessarily indicative 
of the results to be expected for the entire year.

NOTE 2 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:


 CONTINGENCIES


     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 and (ii) 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 Company entered into a settlement agreement with Kenfil for 
the sum of $50,000.  Kenfil has filed a dismissal of the complaint with 
prejudice on April 26, 1996 with the Superior Court of California.

NOTE 3 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

     COMMON STOCK:

     Common Stock as of March 31, 1996 reflects the January 1996 sale of 
165,000 shares of common stock issued in the overallotment of the Company's 
initial public offering.  Aggregate net proceeds to the Company were $831,000.

NOTE 4 - NET INCOME PER SHARE:

     Net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of 
shares of common stock and common equivalent shares, when dilutive, from 
mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted 
method) and from stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock 
method). Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting 
Bulletins, common and common stock equivalent shares, options and warrants 
issued by the Company during the 12-months period prior to the Company's 
initial public offering have been included in the calculation as if they were 
outstanding for all periods presented.  Due to the net loss for the period 
ended March 31, 1996, the common stock equivalents were excluded from the net 
income per share calculation.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-QSB CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT 
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER 
MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.  
FACTORS THAT MIGHT CAUSE SUCH A DIFFERENCE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, 
THOSE DISCUSSED IN "RISK FACTORS" IN PART I OF THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON 
FORM 10-KSB AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995. THE FOLLOWING 
DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND 
NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

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.  
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 existing and 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 royalty paid upon 
signing the agreement, 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 upon the 
shipment of products over the life of the agreement.

     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's quarterly and annual net revenues have been affected 
historically by, among other factors, the timing of releases of new products 
and new versions of existing products.  Historically, sales volumes of new 
products have increased in the first few months following introduction of a 
new product due to the purchase of initial inventory by distributors and 
resellers and the purchase of upgrades by existing users.  Thereafter, net 
revenues have tended to decline and stabilize to a relatively constant level. 
 Toward the end of a product or product version life cycle, revenues tend to 
decline significantly, and the Company may experience returns from 
distribution in anticipation of new products or product version.

     Due to the inherent uncertainties of software development, the Company 
cannot accurately predict the exact timing of shipment of a new product or 
localization of version release on any particular platform.  Any delays in 
the scheduled release of any product or product version, or any failure to 
achieve market

                                       7

<PAGE>

acceptance among new and upgrade customers, could have a material effect on 
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     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. 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.

     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 Company's gross profit has 
varied from quarter to quarter as a result of changes in the mix of revenues 
derived from sales to the Company's Japanese distributor and other customers. 
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 Macintosh. 
Additionally, the newly released QuickSite decreased gross margins. 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 $300,00 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

                                       8

<PAGE>

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. 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.

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 $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 1996 consisted primarily of a net loss of 
$1,704,000 offset by an increase in accounts payable of $356,000 and the 
reserve 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.

     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 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 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 three month period 
ended March 31, 1996 the Company's capital expenditures totaled approximately 
$205,000.

     The Company believes that its existing and available cash resources 
should be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at least the next 
twelve 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.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     RECENT LOSSES; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT

     The Company incurred a net loss of $1,704,000 for the three month period 
ended March 31, 1996 and had an accumulated deficit of $10,522,000 as of 
March 31, 1996. There can be no assurance that the Company will not incur 
additional losses until it successfully develops or acquires new products or 
enhancements to existing products that generate significant revenues.

                                       9

<PAGE>

     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, 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 plans on continuing to make significant expenditures to enhance its 
sales and marketing and research and development activities. The Company may 
be unable to reduce these expenditures 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.

     FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS; NO ASSURANCE OF FUTURE FINANCING

     The Company completed its initial public offering in December 1995 and 
the overallotment in January 1996. The net proceeds to the Company were 
$5,978,000. Although the Company expects such proceeds together with its 
existing capital to be adequate through 1996, there can be no assurance that 
such capital will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's operating 
requirements.  The Company's actual 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.

     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 second 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 

                                       10

<PAGE>

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.

     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.

     RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RETAIL DISTRIBUTION; SUBSTANTIAL CUSTOMER
     CONCENTRATION

     DeltaPoint sells its products to distributors for resale as well as 
directly 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, the Company's Japanese distributor, 
constituted approximately 38% , 35% and 6% of the Company's net revenues for 
the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 
1996, respectively. Sales to Ingram constituted approximately 17% , 13% and 
23% of the Company's net revenues for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 
and the three months ended March 31, 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.

                                       11

<PAGE>

     RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

     The Company's revenues from international operations accounted for 
approximately 42% , 40%  and 13% of the Company's net revenues in 1994, 1995 
and the three month period ended March 31, 1996,  respectively, of which 
approximately 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.

     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 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.

     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.

     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 

                                       12

<PAGE>

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, 
Software Publishing Corporation, Lotus, Corel Corporation, and Computer 
Associates International, Inc. In the structured drawing market, the Company 
has, to date, encountered competition primarily from larger vendors such as 
Corel 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.

     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 
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

     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.

     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 

                                       13

<PAGE>

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.

     RELIANCE ON SOLE PRODUCT ASSEMBLER

     All of the Company's software products are currently assembled 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 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.

     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.

     Since July 1995, the Company 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



                                       14

<PAGE>


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.

     VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE; POSSIBLE ILLIQUIDITY OF TRADING MARKET

     The Company's stock price has exhibited volatility since the Company's 
initial public offering in December 1995. The trading price of the Company's 
Common Stock 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 operating performance.

     The shares of Common Stock are quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market 
which may be 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 SmallCap Market, and the shares of Common Stock could 
be subject to removal from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  Trading, if any, in 
the Common Stock 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 price of, 
the Company's Common Stock. In addition, if the Company's Common Stock were 
removed from the Nasdaq SmallCap 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 SmallCap 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 Common Stock and the ability of 
purchasers of the Company's Common Stock 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 SmallCap Market.  While 
such penny stock rules should not affect the quotation of the Company's 
Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, such rules may further limit the 
market liquidity of the Common Stock and Warrants and the ability of 
shareholders to sell such securities in 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.

incident to his employment with Company.

  (e)  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Mr. Kingman shall not, for the benefit of any

domain.

                                       19
<PAGE>

  (f)  INVENTIONS/NON-DISCLOSURE.  Mr. Kingman specifically acknowledges and
reaffirms the obligations contained in the DeltaPoint, Inc. Employee Non-
Disclosure and Inventions Assignment Agreement between him and Company executed
on or about October 2, 1990.

  (g)  NON-COMPETITION.  Mr. Kingman acknowledges that during his employment
with Company, he has had access to confidential information and that the
activities forbidden by this subsection would necessarily involve the improper
use or disclosure of this confidential information.  To forestall this use or
disclosure, Mr. Kingman agrees that for a period of one (1) year following the
Effective Date, Mr. Kingman shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) divert or
attempt to divert from Company or any Affiliate (defined as any person or entity
that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Company) any business, including the solicitation of customers;
(ii) solicit for employment any person currently employed by Company (or any
Affiliate); or (iii) engage in any business activity competitive with Company

confidential information.

  (h)  NONDISPARAGEMENT.  Mr. Kingman shall not disparage Company, any
Affiliate, or any of their officers or employees.  The Company's executive
officers and the members of the Company's board of directors shall not disparage
Mr. Kingman.

  (i)  ANNOUNCEMENT.  Any communication to Company employees or the public by
Mr. Kingman or the Company's executive officers or members of its board of
directors shall be consistent with the message that Mr. Kingman feels he has
accomplished for the Company what he set out to accomplish and has elected to
resign in order to pursue other opportunities.

3.  RELEASE.  Mr. Kingman and his representatives, heirs, successors, and
assigns do hereby completely release and forever discharge Company, any
Affiliate, and its and their present and former shareholders, officers,
directors, agents, employees, attorneys, successors, and assigns (collectively,
"Released Parties") from all claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations,
liabilities, and causes of action of every kind and character, known or unknown,
mature or unmatured, which Mr. Kingman may now have or has ever had, whether
based on tort, contract (express or implied), or any federal, state, or local
law, statute, or regulation (collectively, the "Released Claims").  By way of
example and not in limitation of the foregoing, Released Claims shall include
any claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the
California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as well as any claims asserting
wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress,
negligent or intentional misrepresentation, negligent or intentional
interference with contract or prospective economic advantage, defamation,
invasion of privacy, and claims related to disability.  Released Claims shall
also include, but not be limited to, claims for severance pay, bonuses, sick
leave, vacation pay, life or health insurance, or any other fringe benefit.  Mr.
Kingman likewise releases the Released Parties from any and all obligations for
attorneys' fees incurred in regard to the above claims or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Released Claims shall not include (i) any claims
based on obligations created by or reaffirmed in this Agreement; and (ii) any
vested pension rights or any workers' compensation claims settlement of which
would require approval by the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.

4.  SECTION 1542 WAIVER.  The parties understand and agree that the Released
Claims include not only claims presently known to Mr. Kingman, but also include
all unknown or unanticipated claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations,
liabilities, and causes of action of every kind and character that would
otherwise come within the scope of the Released Claims as described in Section
4.  Mr. Kingman understands that he may hereafter discover facts different from
what he now believes to be true, which if known, could have materially affected
this Agreement, but he nevertheless waives any claims or rights based on
different or additional facts.  Mr. Kingman knowingly and voluntarily waives any
and all rights or benefits that he may now have, or in the future may have,
under the terms of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as
follows:

                                       20
<PAGE>

     A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES
     NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
     RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
     SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

5.  CONFIDENTIALITY.  Mr. Kingman and Company understand and agree that this
Agreement and each of its terms, and the negotiations surrounding it, are
confidential and shall not be disclosed to any entity or person, for any reason,
at any time, without the prior written consent of the other party, unless
required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Kingman may disclose the
terms of this Agreement to his spouse, and both he and Company, for legitimate
business reasons, may disclose the terms of this Agreement to legal, financial,
and tax advisors as well as to Company's executive officers and members of its
board of directors.

6.  NONADMISSION.  The parties understand and agree that this is a compromise
settlement of disputed claims and that the furnishing of the consideration for
this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed at any time or for any purpose
as an admission of liability by Mr. Kingman or Company.  The liability for any
and all claims is expressly denied by Mr. Kingman and Company.

7.  AGE DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS.  Mr. Kingman understands and agrees that, by
entering into this Agreement, (i) he is waiving any rights or claims he might
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older
Workers Benefit Protection Act; (ii) he has received consideration beyond that
to which he was previously entitled; (iii) he has been advised to consult with
an attorney before signing this Agreement; and (iv) he has been offered the
opportunity to evaluate the terms of this Agreement for not less than twenty-one
(21) days prior to his execution of the Agreement.  Mr. Kingman may revoke this
Agreement (by written notice to Company) for a period of seven (7) days after
his execution of the Agreement, and it shall become enforceable only upon the
expiration of this revocation period without prior revocation by Mr. Kingman.

8.  NOTICES.  Any notice under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be
effective upon delivery by hand, upon facsimile transmission to the number
provided below (if one is provided), or three (3) business days after deposit in
the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, and addressed

this Agreement and such provision as applied to other persons, places, and
circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

13.  ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In any legal action, arbitration, or other proceeding
brought to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

14.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law of the State of California.

15.  INTERPRETATION.  This Agreement shall be construed as a whole, according to

and not in limitation, this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of the
party receiving a benefit nor against the party responsible for any particular
language in this Agreement.  Captions are used for reference purposes only and
should be ignored in the interpretation of the Agreement.

16.  REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL.  The parties acknowledge that (i) they have had

and (iii) they are entering into this Agreement freely and voluntarily, and
based on each party's own judgment and not on any representations or promises
made by the other party, other than those contained in this Agreement.

The parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first written
