              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)


Basis of Presentation

The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports enterprise-wide information
security solutions for client/server computing environments and provides related
services.

The  accompanying   condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts  of  AXENT  Technologies,   Inc.  and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company" or "AXENT").

The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements reflect
all the adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods  presented.  The results for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996 may not necessarily be indicative of
the results for the entire year.  The December 31, 1995  condensed  consolidated
balance sheet was derived from audited financial  statements as of the same date
but does not include all disclosures  required by generally accepted  accounting
principles.

These  financial  statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the Company's
annual audited financial  statements for the year ended December 31, 1995, which
are included in Amendment No. 3 to the Company's  registration statement on Form
S-1 that was filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on April 22,
1996.


Initial Public Offering

In February 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  permitting the Company to sell 2,000,000 shares of its
common stock to the public.  The registration  statement also permitted  certain
non-officer  stockholders  of the  Company to sell up to  990,000  shares to the
public,   including  up  to  390,000  shares  to  cover   over-allotments.   The
registration  statement  became  effective on April 23, 1996. The initial public
offering resulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $25.3 million, net
of approximately $2.7 million in underwriting fees and offering expenses,  which
are not reflected in the condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  for the
period ended March 31, 1996.  The Company  received no proceeds from the sale of
shares by selling stockholders in the initial public offering.

Discontinued Operations

In mid-1994 the Company  made a strategic  decision to focus its business on the
information  security  market  and to divest  itself of  products  and  services
unrelated to such business.  The following  businesses have been divested by the
Company:  (i) the storage management  products business,  which was sold in 1994
for cash,  notes and the  assumption  of certain  liabilities,  (ii) the OpenVMS
utility software  distribution  business,  which was conveyed to Raxco Software,
Inc.  ("Raxco") in a spin-off effective December 31, 1995 and (iii) the Helpdesk
products business,  which was sold in February 1996, for cash, a note, royalties
and the assumption of certain  liabilities.  The results of operations for these
divested  businesses  have been  accounted  for as  discontinued  operations  in
accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting  the Effects of  Disposal  of a Segment of a Business,  and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB
30").

<PAGE>

Prior to the divestment of those  businesses,  the Company utilized  centralized
systems for cash management, payroll, purchasing, distribution, employee benefit
plans, insurance and administrative services. As a result,  substantially all of
the  cash  receipts  of  the  Company  and  the  discontinued   operations  were
commingled.  Similarly,  operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash
outlays  were  centrally  disbursed  and charged  directly or  allocated  to the
discontinued operations. In the opinion of management, the Company's methods for
allocating costs among the continued and discontinued operations are reasonable.
However, the historical results are not necessarily indicative of the costs that
would have been incurred by the Company had the  divestments  occurred  prior to
the beginning of those periods.

In  February  1996,  the  Company  disposed  of  its  Helpdesk   operations  for
approximately $2.0 million, consisting of an initial cash payment of $150,000, a
non-interest bearing note of $150,000,  assumption of approximately  $400,000 in
obligations  and  liabilities,  and the  payment of a royalty up to a maximum of
$1.3 million on future gross  revenues  from all  Helpdesk  product  license and
maintenance fees. The Company transferred to the buyer the Helpdesk products and
the  related  fixed  assets and  customer  base.  The buyer  assumed  all of the
Company's  obligations  related to the Helpdesk products  including  obligations
related  to sales,  marketing,  support  and  development  employees,  telephone
support   obligations  for  the  existing   customers  and  the  facility  lease
obligations.  The Company did not recognize a material gain  associated with the
transaction.

Income Tax

The Company files a consolidated  federal income tax return in the U.S. with its
U.S.  subsidiaries.  Deferred income taxes have been  established by each entity
based upon its  temporary  differences,  the  reversal  of which will  result in
taxable  or  deductible  amounts  in  future  years  when the  related  asset or
liability is recovered or settled.

The Company recorded a tax benefit on the loss from continuing  operations which
was  substantially  offset by a tax  provision  on the income from  discontinued
operations at December 31, 1995. The Company also recorded a valuation allowance
against its deferred tax asset at December  31, 1995.  For the first  quarter of
1996,  the Company  recorded a tax provision on the income from  continuing  and
discontinued  operations.  The  effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1996
differs from the federal  statutory tax rate due to the carryforward  benefit of
net operating  losses and the change in the reserve for deferred tax assets.  As
of March 31, 1996, the Company had federal net operating loss  carryforwards  of
approximately $750,000 for regular tax purposes, which may be utilized to reduce
future  taxable  income  through  the year 2007.  The  Company  also has general
business credits of $409,000 expiring between 1997 and 2006.

Note Payable

The Company acquired Datamedia  Corporation in 1994 for $5.0 million in cash and
notes. As of March 31, 1996, the amount payable to former Datamedia stockholders
included accrued interest of $78,000 and is due December 9, 1996.

Common Stock

In February 1996, the Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  was amended and
restated,  which  resulted in (among other things) an increase in the authorized
capitalization  of the  Company  from  10,000,000  shares  of  common  stock  to
50,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

<PAGE>

Stock Option Plan

In January  1996,  the Company  adopted the 1996 Stock  Option Plan and the 1996
Directors' Stock Option Plan,  providing for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 and
200,000 shares, respectively. Of the 1,000,000 shares provided in the 1996 Stock
Option Plan,  options  covering an  aggregate  of 274,500  shares were issued in
March 1996.

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has issued  Statement  of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS
123").  SFAS 123 allows  companies  which grant stock options a choice to either
continue the current accounting  treatment under Accounting  Principles Bulletin
Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), or adopt
a new set of fair value  accounting rules for recognizing  compensation  expense
related to stock awards.  Companies  continuing under APB 25 must measure option
values and  disclose the pro forma  effects  that the new fair value  accounting
would have on earnings,  if recorded.  The Company has  determined  that it will
continue  the current  accounting  treatment  under APB 25 and will  provide pro
forma  disclosures  as of  December  31,  1996 for the effect the new fair value
accounting rule would have on earnings, if adopted.

                  Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to
                        Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

Net Revenues

The Company's net revenues from product licenses increased approximately 59%, or
$990,000,  from $1.68 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $2.67
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and
1996, net revenues from product  licenses  represented  61.3% and 65.6% of total
net revenues, respectively. The increase in product license revenue is primarily
attributable  to the  expansion of the  Company's  product  offerings,  with the
introduction and general release of additional products comprising the OmniGuard
family of software  products  throughout  1995,  offset in part by a decrease in
license  revenues  derived from the Company's  other (solely  OpenVMS)  computer
security software  products.  Only one OmniGuard  product,  Enterprise  Security
Manager,  was  commercially  available for licensing during the first quarter of
1995.

The  Company's  net  revenues  from  services  increased  approximately  33%, or
$350,000,  from $1.06 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $1.41
million for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996.  The  increase in service
revenues is primarily  attributable  to an increase in product  maintenance  and
related consulting  services associated with increased licenses of the Company's
products.  For  those  periods  in 1995 and 1996,  net  revenues  from  services
represented 38.7% and 34.4% of total net revenues, respectively.

The Company currently believes that period-to-period comparisons of net revenues
from the licensing of different  software  products and related services are not
necessarily meaningful as an indication of future performance.

Revenues  from North  American and  International  operations  were 78% and 22%,
respectively,  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 84% and
16%, respectively for the same period last year.

Cost of Net Revenues

The Company's cost of net revenues for product licenses  includes cost of media,
product  packaging,  documentation and other production  costs,  amortization of
purchased software costs, and product royalties. Cost of net revenues associated
with product licenses decreased  approximately  55%, or $136,000,  from $247,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $111,000 for the three months ended
March 31,  1996.  For those  periods in 1995 and 1996,  cost of net revenues for
product  licenses  represented  14.7%  and  4.2% of net  revenues  from  product
licenses,  respectively.  The  decrease in the cost of net  revenues for product
licenses is primarily  attributable  to the final royalty  payment on one of the
Company's  products in 1995,  increased  production  efficiency  and a change in
product media to CD-ROM resulting in decreased  product  production and shipping
expenses.  Cost of net revenues for product licenses as a percentage of revenues
from  product  licenses may  fluctuate  from period to period due to a change in
product  mix,  a change in the  number  or size of  transactions  recorded  in a
quarter or an increase or decrease in licenses of royalty bearing products.

The  Company's  cost of net  revenues  from  services  includes  the  direct and
indirect costs of providing training,  technical support and consulting services
to the Company's customers. Cost of net revenues from services increased 44%, or
$83,000 from  $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $271,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and 1996,  cost
of net revenues  from services  represented  17.8% and 19.2% of net revenues for
services,  respectively.  The increase in cost of net revenues  from services is
directly related to the increased number of consulting services  engagements and
an increase in staff of the Company's  customer support and services  operations
necessary  to  support  a larger  installed  customer  base  and the  additional
products offered by the Company.

<PAGE>

 Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing  expenses consist  primarily of personnel  costs,  including
commissions,  salaries,  benefits  and  bonuses,  travel,  telephone,  costs  of
advertising,  public  relations  seminars and trade shows.  Sales and  marketing
expenses  decreased  4%, or  $110,000,  from $2.92  million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 to $2.81 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
For those  periods in 1995 and 1996,  sales and marketing  expenses  represented
106.5% and 69.0% of total net  revenues,  respectively.  The  decrease in dollar
amount was due to the closing of the Company's  German and Swiss direct  offices
during 1995, offset in part by additional  investment in the Company's US and UK
operations,  increased  commissions  associated with the additional revenues and
increased  investment in indirect  distribution in Germany and Switzerland.  The
decrease in sales and  marketing  expenses as a percentage of total net revenues
was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues.

Research and Development

Research  and  development   expenses  consist  primarily  of  personnel  costs,
including  salaries,  benefits and bonuses,  travel and other  personnel-related
expenses of the employees  engaged in ongoing research and development  projects
and third party development contracts. Costs related to research and development
of products are expensed as incurred. Research and development increased 12%, or
$119,000,  from  $981,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995 to $1.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. For those periods in 1995 and
1996 research and development  expenses represented 35.8% and 26.6% of total net
revenues, respectively. The increase in dollar amount resulted from the addition
of developers  needed to develop,  maintain and enhance the OmniGuard  family of
software  products  including the Company's  Enterprise SignOn product currently
under  development.  The  decrease in  research  and  development  expenses as a
percentage  of total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net
revenues.  The Company  currently  anticipates  that  research  and  development
expenses  may  increase in absolute  dollars as the Company  continues to commit
substantial resources to research and development in future periods.

General and Administrative

General and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily  of  personnel  costs,
including salaries, benefits and bonuses, related costs for management,  finance
and   accounting,   legal  and  other   professional   services.   General   and
administrative  expenses  increased  5%, or $24,000 from  $533,000 for the three
months  ended March 31, 1995 to $557,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1996.  For those  periods in 1995 and 1996 general and  administrative  expenses
represented 19.5% and 13.7% of total net revenues, respectively. The decrease in
general and  administrative  expenses as a percentage  of total net revenues was
due primarily to the increase in total net revenues.

Royalty Income

The  Company  recorded  royalty  income of $800,000  pursuant  to the  Exclusive
Distributor  License  Agreement with Raxco that provides for payment by Raxco to
the  Company  the  greater of (i) a 30%  royalty on license  and  services  fees
related to the  OpenVMS  utility  software  products  owned by the  Company  and
marketed by Raxco or (ii) $2.0 million for 1996,  $1.5 million for 1997 and $1.0
million for 1998, and a 30% royalty thereafter for two additional years.

During the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  1996,  Raxco  reported to the
Company,  gross  revenues of $3.0  million  which  included  approximately  $2.7
million of OpenVMS utility revenues.  As of March 31, 1996, Raxco has fully paid
the royalty  income then due to the Company.  As of March 31, 1996,  the Company
advanced  $73,000  to Raxco  under  the Line of  Credit  Loan  Agreement.  Raxco
reported to the Company, a net loss of $384,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996.

<PAGE>

Interest Income (Expense)

Interest income increased 312%, or $106,000,  from an expense of $34,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1995 to income of $72,000 for the three month
period  ended March 31,  1996.  The  increase  is  attributable  primarily  to a
decrease in the  amortization  of discount  on a note  payable and to  increased
interest income  relating to short-term  repurchase  agreements  having original
maturity dates of three months or less.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under  Statements of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires
the Company to record an asset with respect to the expected  future value of its
net operating loss carryforwards.  The Company's history of net operating losses
makes  the  realization  of its  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  uncertain.
Accordingly,  the Company has placed a valuation  allowance against its deferred
tax asset. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefit from net
operating  losses  that can be carried  forward  may be  impaired  or limited in
certain circumstances.

The Company  recorded a tax benefit for the three month  period  ended March 31,
1995 related to a loss from continuing  operations.  The Company also recorded a
provision  for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 related to the income
from continuing operations.

Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations

As a result of the above, the Company recorded income from continuing operations
of $83,000,  an increase of $1.28 million or 107%, from the loss of $1.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Income from  discontinued  operations  consists of the net results of operations
from the divested  businesses  of the  Company,  which for  financial  statement
purposes have been accounted for in accordance with APB No. 30 and classified as
discontinued  operations.  The  Company's  income from  discontinued  operations
decreased 17% , or $210,000, from $1.24 million for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995 to $1.03  million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  For
those periods in 1995 and 1996 income from discontinued  operations  represented
45.2% and 25.2% of total net revenues,  respectively.  The Company anticipates a
continued decline in income from  discontinued  operations over the next several
quarters.

Financial Condition- Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's  overall cash and cash  equivalents were $6.6 million at March 31,
1996,  which is an increase of  approximately  $500,000 from $6.1 million at the
beginning of the year.  During the three month  periods ended March 31, 1995 and
1996, the Company financed its operations primarily through cash flows generated
from discontinued operations and available working capital as well as cash flows
from continuing  operations.  The Company's continuing operating activities used
cash of $1.8  million for the three month  period  ended March 31, 1995 and $1.5
million for the three month period ended March 31, 1996. During the three months
ended  March 31,  1996,  the  Company's  use of cash from  continuing  operating
activities was primarily a result of the payment of accrued bonuses, value-added
tax (VAT),  commissions and other accrued expenses associated with the Company's
performance  in  the  previous   calendar   quarter.   Total  cash  provided  by
discontinued  operations  operating activities was $3.5 million and $2.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $277,000 and $259,000 for
the three  month  periods  ended March 31,  1995 and 1996,  respectively.  These
purchases  have  generally  consisted  of

computer workstations, networking equipment, office furniture and equipment. The
Company had no firm commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 1996.

During the three month period ended March 31, 1996,  the Company's cash position
was also affected by the following:  1) the Company  provided Raxco net advances
of  $73,000  pursuant  to the Line of  Credit  Loan  Agreement;  2) the  Company
received  $150,000  as a result of the  disposal  of the  Helpdesk  products  in
February 1996; 3) the Company paid $100,000 to former Datamedia  stockholders as
part of the  December  1994  Datamedia  acquisition;  4) the Company  received a
payment of $248,000 on the note receivable  related to the sale of the Company's
storage management products in 1994.

The Company has a revolving  credit facility  commitment with the Bank for up to
$2.5 million.  As of March 31, 1996 there were no amounts outstanding under this
revolving credit facility commitment.

The Company  believes  that the net proceeds from the initial  public  offering,
cash generated from operations, cash generated under the Administrative Services
Agreement and the Exclusive  Distributor License Agreement with Raxco,  together
with  existing  sources of  liquidity  will be  sufficient  to meet its  capital
expenditures,  working  capital  and other cash  requirements  both for the next
twelve months and for the foreseeable future.

Certain Factors Affecting Future Performance

Although the Company has  experienced  significant  growth in revenues  from the
OmniGuard family of software products, the Company does not believe prior growth
rates are  indicative  of future  operating  results.  In addition,  the Company
expects increased competition and intends to invest significantly in its product
development. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will remain
profitable  on a  quarterly  or  annual  basis.  Due  to the  Company's  limited
operating  history with  respect to the  OmniGuard  family of software  product,
predictions  as to future  operating  results are  difficult.  Future  operating
results may fluctuate due to factors such as: demand for the Company's products;
the size and timing of customer  orders;  the  introduction  of new products and
product  enhancements by the Company or its competitors;  the budgeting cycle of
customers;  changes in the proportion of revenues  attributable  to license fees
and  consulting  services;  changes  in the  level of  operating  expenses;  and
competitive conditions in the industry.

The market for the Company's  software products is highly  competitive,  and the
Company  expects that it will face  increasing  price pressures from its current
competitors and new market entrants.  Any material reduction in the price of the
Company's  software  products  would  negatively  affect gross margins and could
materially  adversely  affect the Company's  financial  condition and results of
operations.

The sales of the  Company's  security  products  generally  involve  significant
testing by and  education of  prospective  customers as well as a commitment  of
resources  by both  parties.  For  these  and other  reasons,  the  sales  cycle
associated with the sales of the Company's  security  products is typically long
and subject to a number of  significant  risks over which the Company has little
or no control  and, as a result,  the Company may expend  significant  resources
pursuing potential sales that will not be consummated.

The Company  anticipates that  international  sales will continue to represent a
significant percentage of revenue in the foreseeable future. International sales
are subject to a number of risks,  including  unexpected  changes in  regulatory
requirements,   tariffs  and  other  trade  barriers,   political  and  economic
instability  in foreign  markets,  difficulty  in the staffing,  management  and
integration of foreign operations,  longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in
accounts receivable  collection,  currency  fluctuations and potentially adverse
tax  consequences.  The uncertainty of the monetary  exchange values has caused,
and may in the future,  contribute to  fluctuations  in the Company's  financial
condition  and  results  of  operations.   Although  the  Company's  results  of
operations  have not been materially  adversely  affected to date as a result of
currency fluctuations, the long-term impact of currency fluctuations,  including
any  possible  effect on the  business  outlook in other  developing  countries,
cannot be predicted.
