                        WORKGROUP TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.    Nature of Business

      Workgroup Technology Corporation (the "Company"), incorporated in May
      1992, develops and markets WTC ProductCenter (formerly CMS), a
      production-proven web-based product data management solution that
      facilitates the management of product information and work processes
      performed by multi-functional product development teams.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes do
      not include all of the disclosures made in the Company's Annual Report on
      Form 10-K for fiscal 1999, which should be read in conjunction with these
      statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from
      audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
      required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the
      opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments necessary
      for a fair presentation of the quarterly results. Except for the
      restructuring and other one-time charges, all adjustments made to these
      financial statements were considered to be of a normal and recurring
      nature. The results for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 are
      not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
      fiscal year.

      Risks and Uncertainties

      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
      disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
      during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
      estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

3.    Net Loss Per Common Share

      The Company's basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net
      loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
      Diluted net loss per common share is based on the same computation but
      also includes dilutive potential common shares. Potential common shares
      include shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants,
      net of shares which are assumed to have been purchased by the Company with
      related proceeds. Potential common shares, which consisted only of stock
      options, were antidilutive for each of the three and nine month periods
      ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and therefore the basic and diluted net
      loss per common share were the same for those periods.

      Options to purchase weighted average shares of the Company's common stock
      of 1,117,496 and 2,024,836 were outstanding for the periods ended December
      31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, at weighted average prices of $3.55 and
      $3.82, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted
      earnings per share because they were antidilutive.

4.    Restructuring and Other Related Charges

      In October 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management actions that
      resulted in the discontinuance of development and selling and marketing
      efforts related to the WTC OpCenter product and the related restructuring
      of the Company. The Company's actions resulted in the elimination of 33
      positions, a workforce reduction of approximately 35%, during the third
      quarter of fiscal 2000, of which six were from Services, which are
      typically reported in Total cost of revenue, eleven from Research and
      development, fourteen from Selling and marketing, and two from General and
      administrative.

      Revenue from the license of WTC OpCenter products and related professional
      services and maintenance were immaterial for the previous quarters of
      fiscal 2000. The Company does not expect to have any further revenue
      related to the WTC OpCenter product line.

      During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded
      restructuring charges of $1,303,000 and a one-time charge of $78,000 for
      the write-off of prepaid royalties associated with the WTC OpCenter
      product line. Charges applied or paid during the third quarter of fiscal
      2000 were approximately $1,068,000. At December 31, 1999 the Company had
      an accrual for restructuring charges of $313,000, which is comprised of
      $87,000 of severance costs, $194,000 of costs associated with the
      settlement of obligations and disputes relating to WTC OpCenter contracts
      and $32,000 of other restructuring costs. The balance of the restructuring
      accrual is expected to be paid within the next two quarters.

      The $1,381,000 of restructuring and other one-time charges recorded in the
      third quarter of fiscal 2000 include a write-off of prepaid third party
      royalties of $78,000 and an asset write-down of $270,000, which are
      non-cash items. The remaining $1,033,000 of restructuring and other
      one-time charges required, or will require, the use of cash.

      The restructuring charges were determined based on formal plans approved
      by the Company's management using information available to it at the time.
      The Company expects that any additional related amounts incurred and paid
      will be immaterial and will be paid within the next two quarters.

      The activity impacting the accrual for the discontinuance of the WTC
      OpCenter product line and the related restructuring charges during the
      third quarter of fiscal 2000 is summarized below:

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Revenue. The Company's revenue consists of license fees for its family of
software products including CMS, WTC ProductCenter, and WTC OpCenter (which was
discontinued in the third quarter of fiscal 2000), and fees for professional
services and software maintenance. Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2000
decreased 12.5% to $1,910,000 from $2,183,000 compared with the same period of
fiscal 1999. Revenue for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 decreased
3.1% to $5,906,000 from $6,093,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 1999.

Software license revenue for the three and nine month periods ended December 31,
1999 decreased 36.9% and 34.2%, respectively, to $515,000 and $1,515,000,
respectively, from $816,000 and $2,304,000, respectively, in the same periods of
fiscal 1999. The three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1998 were
favorably impacted by higher sales from the initial promotion of the Weblink and
View/Markup products as well as revenue from the license of the WTC OpCenter
product.

Maintenance and services revenue for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 1999 increased 2.0% and 15.9%, respectively, to $1,395,000 and
$4,391,000, respectively, from $1,367,000 and $3,789,000, respectively, in the
comparable periods of fiscal 1999. This increase resulted primarily from higher
maintenance revenue as a result of an increase in the customer maintenance base
which was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from consulting services.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. The Company's cost of software license revenue
consists primarily of third party royalties payable upon the license of products
for which another party is entitled to receive compensation, as well as costs
associated with media, packaging, documentation and delivery of the Company's
products. Gross profit associated with software license revenue for the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased to $378,000 or 73.4% of software license
revenue from $710,000 or 87.0% of software license revenue in the third quarter
of fiscal 1999. For the nine months ended December 31, 1999, gross profit from
software license revenue decreased to $994,000 or 65.6% of software license
revenue from $2,066,000 or 89.7% for the same period of fiscal 1999. These
changes result primarily from lower software license revenue, the write-off of
prepaid royalties related to the WTC OpCenter product line in the second and
third quarters of fiscal 2000, and, to a lesser extent, the mix of products sold
during each of the periods which required royalty payments to another party.

Cost of maintenance and services revenue consists primarily of personnel and
related costs for the Company's customer support and professional services
organizations. The Company's gross profit on maintenance and services revenue
increased to $636,000 or 45.6% of maintenance and services revenue in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $559,000 or 40.9% of maintenance and service revenue
in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. For the nine months ended December 31,
1999, gross profit on the maintenance and services revenue increased to
$2,103,000 or 47.9% from $1,374,000 or 36.3% of the associated revenue in the
comparable period of fiscal 1999. These increases in gross profit are due
primarily to higher maintenance revenue as well as lower headcount and related
personnel costs in the professional services organization.

Total gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 53.1% and 52.4%
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 from 58.1% and 56.5% in
the same periods of fiscal 1999. These decreases are the result of lower
software margins, and the write-off of prepaid royalties related to the WTC
OpCenter product line in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2000, partially
offset by an improvement in maintenance and professional services margins.

                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased 33.5% and 3.4%
for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 to $1,065,000 and
$4,811,000 from $1,601,000 and $4,981,000, respectively, for the same periods of
fiscal 1999. The decrease for the third quarter resulted primarily from reduced
headcount and related expenses and reduced marketing programs, partially due to
the discontinuance of the WTC OpCenter product line. The decrease for the nine
month period resulted primarily from reduced headcount and related expenses in
the sales organization, partially offset by higher employee costs in the
marketing organization, and WTC OpCenter related costs for marketing programs
and external market research consultants in the first two quarters of fiscal
2000. As a result of these decreases, selling and marketing expenses as a
percentage of revenue decreased to 55.8% and 81.5% in the three and nine month
periods of fiscal 2000 from 73.3% and 81.7% in the same periods of fiscal 1999.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 24.9% and
12.8% for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 to $1,264,000
and $4,437,000 from $1,683,000 and $5,089,000, respectively, for the same
periods of fiscal 1999. These decreases resulted primarily from lower headcount
in the development organization primarily due to the discontinuance of the WTC
OpCenter product line. As a result of these decreases, research and development
expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 66.2% and 75.1% in the three
and nine month periods of fiscal 2000 from 77.1% and 83.5% in the same periods
of fiscal 1999.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 28.4%
and 19.8% for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 to
$533,000 and $1,550,000 from $415,000 and $1,294,000, respectively, for the same
periods of fiscal 1999. The third quarter increase is due primarily to higher
employee related costs. The nine months increase is related to higher employee
related costs and costs associated with the hiring of a new president. As a
result of these increases, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of revenue increased to 27.9% and 26.2% for the three and nine month periods of
fiscal 2000 from 19.0% and 21.2% for each of the same periods of the previous
fiscal year.

Restructuring. Restructuring expenses were $1,303,000 for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 1999. These costs are associated with the
discontinuance of the WTC OpCenter product line and the resulting restructuring
of the Company which occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. These one-
time charges include severance costs, costs related to discontinuing the WTC
OpCenter product line, asset disposition and write-down costs, and other
restructuring costs. Restructuring expenses as a percentage of revenue were
68.2% and 22.1% for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2000.

In October 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management actions that
resulted in the discontinuance of development and selling and marketing efforts
related to the WTC OpCenter product and the related restructuring of the
Company. The Company's actions resulted in the elimination of 33 positions, a
workforce reduction of approximately 35%, during the third quarter of fiscal
2000, of which six were from Services, which are typically reported in Total
cost of revenue, eleven from Research and development, fourteen from Selling and
marketing, and two from General and administrative.

Revenue from the license of WTC OpCenter products and related professional
services and maintenance were immaterial for the previous quarters of fiscal
2000. The Company does not expect to have any further revenue related to the WTC
OpCenter product line.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded restructuring
charges of $1,303,000 and a one-time charge of $78,000 for the write-off of
prepaid royalties associated with the WTC OpCenter product line. Charges applied

associated with the settlement of obligations and disputes relating to WTC
OpCenter contracts and $32,000 of other restructuring costs. The balance of the
restructuring accrual is expected to be paid within the next two quarters.

The $1,381,000 of restructuring and other one-time charges recorded in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 include a write-off of prepaid third party royalties of

As the Company continues to review and adjust its operating model, it may incur
further one-time charges in the next few quarters.

Interest and Other Income, (Net). Interest and other income, net consists
primarily of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and other income,
offset by interest expense associated with equipment financing. Interest and
other income, net for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999
decreased $155,000 or 50.0% and $407,000 or 37.6%, respectively, from the same
periods of fiscal 1999. This decrease is the result of lower interest income due
to lower cash and cash equivalent balances during fiscal 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1999 decreased $7,854,000 to
$14,196,000 from $22,050,000 at March 31, 1999. This decrease resulted primarily
from cash used in operations, as well as capital expenditures of $283,000,
during the nine month period ended December 31, 1999. Working capital decreased
$7,844,000 to $10,952,000 at December 31, 1999 from $18,796,000 at fiscal 1999
year end.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company did not repurchase any of
its common stock. At December 31, 1999, approximately 600,000 shares of the
750,000 shares authorized by the Board of Directors had been repurchased by the
Company.

In October 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management actions that
resulted in the discontinuance of development and selling and marketing efforts
related to the WTC OpCenter product line. During the third quarter of fiscal
2000, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $1,303,000 and a one-time
charge of $78,000 for the write-off of prepaid royalties associated with the WTC
OpCenter product line. Charges applied or paid during the third quarter of

funded with the Company's existing cash balance, is expected to be paid within
the next two quarters.

The $1,381,000 of restructuring and other one-time charges recorded in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 include a write-off of prepaid third party royalties of
$78,000 and an asset write-down of $270,000, which are non-cash items. The
remaining $1,033,000 of restructuring and other one-time charges required, or
will require, the use of cash.

As the Company continues to review and adjust its operating model, it may incur
further one-time charges in the next few quarters.

The third quarter of fiscal 2000 reflects higher than expected cash collections
which the Company does not anticipate will continue in future quarters.

The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalent balances will be
sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at least the next year.

To date, neither foreign currency exposure nor inflation has had a material
impact on the Company's financial results.

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


YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
- ----------------------------------------

Background. The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs using
a two-digit format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Computer
systems based on a two-digit format will be unable to interpret dates beyond the
year 1999, which could cause a system failure or other computer errors, leading
to disruptions in operations.

Assessment. The Y2K issue could affect the Company's products, computers,
software and other equipment used, operated, or maintained by the Company.
Accordingly, the Company developed and implemented a Y2K readiness plan focused
on: (1) assessing the readiness of its software product offerings, internal
infrastructure and major suppliers; (2) addressing Y2K issues; and (3) planning
and budgeting for reasonably likely contingencies. Since January 1, 2000, the
Company has not experienced any material issues related to Y2K, nor is it aware
of its customers experiencing material Y2K problems related to the Company's
software product offerings.

Software Product Offerings. The Company has completed testing of its current
product offerings for Y2K compliance and believes that the current versions of
its products are Y2K compliant. Management believes, however, that it is not
possible to determine with complete certainty that all Y2K issues affecting the
Company's current software products have been identified or corrected due to the
complexity of these products and the fact that these products interact with
other third-party vendor products and operate on computer systems which are not
under the Company's control. The Company has responded to, and will continue to
respond to, customer questions related to prior versions of its products on a
case-by-case basis.

Internal Infrastructure. The Company believes that it has identified the major
computers, software applications and related equipment used in connection with
its mission critical internal operations and has completed an assessment of
these systems in regards to Y2K compliance. To date, the Company has not
experienced any significant issues regarding the Y2K compliance of these
systems.

Major Suppliers. The Company has communicated with its third-party suppliers of
the major computers, software and other equipment used, operated, or maintained
by the Company in order to identify, and, to the extent possible, to resolve
issues involving Y2K. Based on information received to date, no material Y2K
issues have been identified, and the Company has not experienced any material
Y2K problems related to these suppliers. In the event that the Company believes
that a particular vendor or supplier poses unacceptable Y2K risks, it will seek
an alternative supply source.

Cost of Year 2000 Compliance. Costs incurred in the Company's Y2K compliance
effort have included the allocation of personnel to test its products and
systems as well as to upgrade internal systems. To date, costs incurred by the
Company for Y2K compliance have not been material, and the Company does not
expect the Y2K problem to have a material impact on its business or operating
results going forward.

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


Risk of Year 2000 Issues. To date, the Company has not experienced any material
adverse effects on its products, including any problems with third party
software incorporated into its products, due to the transition to Year 2000.
However, management believes that it is not possible to determine with complete
certainty that all Y2K issues affecting the Company have been identified or
corrected. The Company cannot predict the nature or materiality of the impact on
its operations or operating results of Y2K disruption by parties over whom it
has no control. Furthermore, the purchasing patterns of the Company's customers
or potential customers may be affected by Y2K issues if they must expend
significant resources to correct their own systems. As a result, they may have
fewer funds available to purchase the Company's products and services.

Contingency Plans. As part of its Y2K compliance planning process, the Company
has a contingency plan to be implemented if the need arises. Depending on the
systems affected, these plans could include accelerated replacement of affected
equipment or software, short- to medium-term use of backup equipment and
software, increased work hours for Company personnel, or the use of contract
personnel to correct on an accelerated schedule any Y2K issues that arise, or to
provide manual workarounds for information systems, and similar approaches. The
Company can not assure that it will not experience problems which could have a
material adverse impact on its business, operating results or financial
conditions, that the implementation of modifications to any embedded products
will not be delayed, or that the Company will still not experience unexpected
Y2K problems with its products.


CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
- ----------------------------------------------

The Company does not provide forecasts of its future financial performance.
However, from time-to-time information provided by the Company or statements
made by its employees may contain "forward-looking" information that involves
risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q), press releases
and oral statements which are not historical facts constitute forward-looking
statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results of
operations and financial condition have varied and may in the future vary
significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements and there can
be no assurance that the results set forth in those statements will be achieved.
Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the
factors discussed below. Each of these factors, and others, are discussed from
time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the Company's Form 10-K filed in June 1999.

The Company's future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.
Because the Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from software
license fees, the Company's quarterly and annual operating results are sensitive
to the size, timing and shipment of individual orders, customer order deferrals
in anticipation of new products, or the lengthening of the sales cycle, either
generally or with respect to individual customers. In addition, the Company's
continued growth is dependent on achieving broader market acceptance of its
products, the growth of the product data management market, and the ability of
the Company to introduce enhancements and additional integrations to its
products in a timely manner to meet the evolving needs of its customers. The
Company also relies on certain intellectual property protections to preserve its
intellectual property rights. Any invalidation of the

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


Company's intellectual property rights or lengthy and expensive defense of those
rights could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The segment of the
software industry in which the Company is engaged is extremely competitive.
Certain current and potential competitors of the Company are more established
and benefit from greater market recognition and have substantially greater
financial, development, and marketing resources than the Company. To date, the
Company has not experienced any significant issues or incurred any material
costs related to the transition to Year 2000. However, the Company can not
assure that it will not experience Y2K problems which could have a material
adverse impact on its business, operating results or financial conditions, that
the implementation of modifications to any embedded products will not be
delayed, or that the Company will still not experience unexpected Y2K problems
with its products .

The Company's quarterly and annual operating results are impacted by a variety
of factors that could materially adversely affect revenues and profitability,
including the timing and shipment of enhancements to the Company's products, and
changes or anticipated changes in economic conditions. Because the Company's
operating expenses are relatively fixed, an unanticipated shortfall in revenue
in a quarter may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations
for that quarter. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Company
may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly
or annual basis which could materially and adversely affect its business,
financial condition and stock price.
