NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
================================================================================


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Operating
results for the six months ended January 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended July 31, 1999, or for any
other interim period. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Form 10-K for the year
ended July 31, 1998 of Metrowerks Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company").

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Metrowerks Corporation, a Texas corporation, and
Metrowerks Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Metrowerks Co. Ltd., a
Japanese corporation.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated.

Certain amounts have been reclassified in the January 31, 1998 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current period classifications.  All
dollar amounts presented are denominated in United States dollars.


Note 2 - Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out
basis) or market. Inventories consist principally of finished goods, books and
third party hardware at July 31, 1998 and January 31, 1999.


Note 3 - 1997 Special Warrants
 
On October 21, 1997, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement for the
purpose of issuing to certain underwriters by way of private placement in
Canada, 1,500,000 special warrants ("1997 Special Warrants") at a price of
$10.08 each ($9.62 net of underwriters' fee).  Upon the exercise of the
1,500,000 1997 Special Warrants thereby sold, 1,250,000 shares were to have been
issued from treasury by the Company and 250,000 were to have been transferred by
three officers of the Company.  These arrangements were modified in that the
Company agreed to assume two of the officers' obligations to deliver an
aggregate of 225,000 Common Shares upon the exercise of the 1997 Special
Warrants in consideration of the payment by those officers of the proceeds
received by them in connection with the offering of the 1997 Special Warrants.
The 1997 Special Warrants were exercised in January 1998.  Accordingly,
1,475,000 shares were newly issued by the Company and 25,000 shares were
transferred by an officer of the Company.  The 225,000 Common Shares owned by
the other two officers of the Company were purchased by the Company for
cancellation in December 1997.  The Company received net proceeds of $11,593
from the offering.  The proceeds are net of offering costs of $1,007.


Note 4 - Line of Credit:

During April 1998, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with a
bank.  Borrowings under the agreement may aggregate up to $1,500 and bear
interest at the bank's prime rate of interest plus one percent (8.75% as of
January 31, 1999).  The agreement, which expires in January 2000, is utilized to
collateralize letters of credit issued to the Company's landlord for leasehold
improvements and to meet short-term working capital requirements which may arise
from time to time.  Borrowings under the agreement are collateralized by the
assets of the Company except the Company's intellectual property.  The credit
agreement contains certain minimum quarterly profitability and various
financial-ratio requirements.  As of January 31, 1999, the Company was not in
compliance with certain financial covenants under the agreement.  This non-
compliance has been waived by the bank.  However, there can be no assurance that
the bank would waive any future non-compliance.  Under the agreement, the
Company may not pay dividends or make any other distribution payment on account
or in redemption, retirement or purchase of any capital stock, and the Company
must also limit the amount of funds transferred to any affiliate or affiliated
company.

                                                                               6

Note 5 - Computation of Net Loss Per Share

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share.  SFAS No.
128 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997.

Earnings per share calculated under SFAS No. 128 are as follows:

Options to purchase the following shares of common stock at the indicated range
of price per share were outstanding during the three and six month periods ended
January 31, 1998 and 1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the inclusion of the options in the diluted per share
calculation was antidilutive:

Note 6 - Accounting Standards Adopted

As of August 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Executive
Committee of the AICPA's Statement of Position 97-2 (SOP 97-2), Software Revenue
Recognition as amended on March 31, 1998, which delineates the accounting for
software product and maintenance revenues.

Also on August 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
of a company during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances, excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. For the Company, the primary difference between net
income and comprehensive income results from foreign currency translation
adjustments.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events

On February 4, 1999, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement for the
purpose of issuing to certain underwriters by way of private placement in
Canada, 1,700,000 special warrants ("1999 Special Warrants") at a price of $4.00
each ($3.76 net of underwriters' fee). In February 1999, 1,700,000 1999 Special
Warrants were issued. Each 1999 Special Warrant entitled the holder thereof to
receive one common share of the Company. The 1999 Special Warrants were
exercised in February 1999, and accordingly, 1,700,000 new shares were issued by
the Company. The Company received net proceeds of $6,245 from the offering. The
proceeds are net of underwriter's fees and offering costs of $555.

Note 8 - Restatement of Prior Periods

The accompanying results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
January 31, 1998 have been restated to reflect a reduction in revenues and an
increase in net loss of $200. This restatement resulted from a contemporaneous
agreement to provide additional deliverables under a software development
agreement during the second quarter of fiscal year 1998. Based on the additional

error and has been restated. This remaining deliverable was conveyed to the
customer and the revenue was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1998. The restatement resulted in a change of revenues from $5,010 prior to 
restatement to $4,810 for the three month period ended January 31, 1999 and 
$11,163 prior to restatement to $10,963 for the six month period ended January 
31, 1999. The restatement also resulted in a change of net loss from $763 prior 
to the restatement to $963 loss for the three month period ended January 31, 
1999 and $526 prior to restatement to $726 for the six month period ended 
January 31, 1999. Accordingly, the revenues and net loss for the three month 
period ended July 31, 1998 were restated from $4,855 to $5,055 and $2,173 to 
$1,973, respectively. There was no effect from the restatement on the twelve 
month period ended July 31, 1998.

Note 9 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997; however, it is not required in interim filings in the initial year of
adoption.

Management does not believe the implementation of SFAS No. 131 will have a
material effect on its consolidated financial statements.



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

The following discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of
operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes thereto. Statements in this report
concerning expectations for the future constitute forward-looking statements
which are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the
Company or industry trends to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by such forward looking statements.

Relevant risks and uncertainties include, among others, potential fluctuations
in the Company's quarterly results, the Company's entry into the embedded
systems market, risks relating to the Company's ability to complete the
development of new products, technological change, the dependence on key
personnel, the Company's ability to protect its proprietary technology, the
quality of the Company's software products, reliance on international sales,
which involves numerous risks,  fluctuation in stock price, increased
competition, the Company's limited history of profitability, the management of
growth, potential litigation, influence of existing stockholder, the need for
additional funds, year 2000 compliance, and the Company's dependence on third-
party distribution channels.  Other risk factors which should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial condition and results of operations
are included from time to time in the Company's other filings with the
securities commissions in Canada and the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, press releases and other communications.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any
future events or circumstances.


THE COMPANY

The Company's principal line of business is the research, design, development,
marketing and support of computer software development tools.  The Company's
products are used primarily by professional software programmers and by
programmers in the academic community to develop applications software for
platforms using a variety of operating systems ("OS") including desktop
operating systems such as Windows 95/98/NT and Mac(R) OS and commercial off-the-
shelf embedded operating systems, such as VxWorks, QNX, Nucleus OS(TM) and
Windows CE.  CodeWarrior is also used by programmers for many proprietary
platforms such as 3Com's Palm Computing platform, Sony PlayStation,(TM) Nintendo
64 and AG Communications' (a Lucent subsidiary) GTD-5 operating system.

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from a limited number of
products.  The Company's future revenue is substantially dependent upon the
continued acceptance of its CodeWarrior products.  The Company is also in the
process of developing a number of new products and new versions of existing
products and believes that its future operating results will depend upon the
commercial success of these new products, new targeted platforms and operating
systems.  There can be no assurance that the Company's new products will achieve
market acceptance.

The Company expanded its sales efforts to include the establishment of OEM
relationships with various semiconductor vendors and system vendors ("OEM
partners"). Through these OEM relationships the Company typically licenses
certain CodeWarrior technologies to the OEM partner for exclusive and non-
exclusive distribution to their customers. The Company anticipates that OEM
arrangements, as described above, will be a significant percentage of revenue
for fiscal 1999. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to enter into future agreements or that the existing or future agreements
will result in sales of the CodeWarrior products. The Company's annual and
quarterly results may depend significantly on the Company's ability to enter
into these new OEM arrangements. The Company also derives a significant portion
of its revenue from product development agreements pursuant to which the Company
receives payments from a third party for porting its programming tools to a
particular platform, operating

                                                                               8
<PAGE>

system or programming language.  The amount of revenue the Company
receives from this particular source will depend upon the number of such
agreements to which the Company is a party during such quarter and the timing of
deliverables under such agreements.  Further, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to continue to enter into such development agreements in
the future.  The Company's product development efforts have also entailed
significant research and development expenditures.  In addition, to enhance its
competitive position in the future, it will be necessary for the Company to
broaden its product offerings.  This objective may require expansion of the
Company's internal product development efforts or acquisitions of or investments
in complementary businesses, products or technologies.  Furthermore, if the
Company were unable to enter into new software development agreements in the
future, the Company would, at a minimum, have to increase its internal research
and development expenditures.  These higher expense levels combined with
fluctuations in revenue could affect the Company's quarterly and annual results
and result in fluctuations in its operating results.

The Company intends to continue to invest significant amounts to expand its
product line and accordingly may continue to experience losses and volatility of
revenue and operating results in future periods.  The Company believes that the
recent revenue growth rates should not be relied upon as an indication of
revenue growth rates for future periods.


RECENT EVENTS

In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company entered into a licensing
agreement with Sun Microsystems to provide Sun's Jini technology to licensees of
CodeWarrior embedded tools.  Jini is a new technology from Sun Microsystems that
is designed to simplify the configuration of hardware devices and software
devices on a network and makes it possible to add new services or devices to
networks with no configuration requirements and to execute new services without
pre-installing software on client machines.  The Company will be the first
embedded tools vendor to license Jini for research and development use and
deployment.

Additionally during the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company released new
versions of CodeWarrior for MIPS, CodeWarrior for PPC, and CodeWarrior for
PlayStation.  The Company also produced initial releases of CodeWarrior for
Phillips TriMedia and CodeWarrior Professional for Java, which is a Java-only
version of CodeWarrior integrated development tools.

On February 4, 1999, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement for the 
purpose of issuing to certain underwriters by way of private placement in 
Canada, 1,700,000 special warrants ("1999 Special Warrants") at a price of $4.00
each ($3.76 net of underwriter's fee). In February 1999, 1,700,000 1999 Special 
Warrants were issued. Each 1999 Special Warrants were exercised in February
1999, and accordingly, 1,700,000 new shares were issued by the Company. The
Company received net proceeds of $6.25 million from the offering. The proceeds
are net of underwriter's fees and offering costs of $555,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth certain items from the Company's consolidated
statement of operations as a percentage of net revenue for the periods

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products upon product
shipment provided there are no contingencies and collection is probable. The
Company sells its products through its direct sales force and indirectly through
distributors.  All revenue is derived from unaffiliated customers.  Product
returns are estimated and provided for at the time of sale.  Such return
allowances as a percentage of revenues have varied significantly over recent
years and periods, reflecting the Company's experience in product returns as it
has significantly expanded the proportion of its sales through third-party
distribution channels and increased its product portfolio.  The Company expects
return allowances will continue to vary in the future.  The Company's agreements
with its distributors generally provide the distributors with limited rights to
return unsold inventories under a stock balancing program.  The Company monitors
activities of its distributors in an effort to minimize excessive returns and
establishes its reserves based on its estimates of expected returns.  While
historically the Company's returns have been within expectations, the setting of
return allowances requires judgments regarding such factors as future
competitive conditions and product acceptance, which can be difficult to
predict.

The Company recognizes revenue on its OEM arrangements under the terms of each
specific agreement.  These OEM agreements typically allow platform vendors to
use and distribute versions of CodeWarrior tools, which support their platforms.
The Company anticipates that OEM arrangements, as described above, will be a
significant percentage of revenue for fiscal 1999.  The Company expects that
future quarterly results will depend significantly on the ability of the Company
to enter into new OEM agreements.  However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to enter into future agreements or that the existing or
future agreements will result in increased sales of the CodeWarrior products.

The Company also derives revenue from product development agreement fees.
Product development agreement fees related to software development are
recognized on a percentage of completion basis over the term of the contract,
and are included in revenue in the income statement.  The amount of these
revenues generally approximates the amount of the costs incurred by the Company
in performing under these agreements.  These costs are expensed as research and
development expenses.

Revenue, a substantial portion of which has been derived from sales of the
Company's CodeWarrior professional programming tools, increased 28% from $4.81
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 to $6.16 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999.  The increase of revenues is due in a large part to an
increase in net product sales of $2.10 million from $3.50 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 to $5.60 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
The Company entered into several OEM agreements during the quarter, which
contributed significantly to second quarter revenues. Product development
agreement revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $564,000, or 9.2%
of total revenues, compared to $1.31 million, or 27.2% of total revenues in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998. The decrease in product development agreement
revenue occurred as many of the agreements entered into by the Company were
reaching final stages and the Company began to shift its focus towards the sale
of these newly developed products. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to continue to enter into such development agreements in the
future.  Revenues increased 17.8% from $10.96 million for the six month period
ended January 31, 1998 to $12.92 million for the six month period ended January
31, 1999.

Cost of Sales and Product Margins

Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of product media and duplication,
the cost of packaging materials, royalties, shipping expenses and cost of third
party hardware.  Costs associated with product development agreement revenues
are included in research and development expenses, are not separately identified
and approximate revenue attributable to these agreements.  Cost of sales
decreased from $685,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 to $539,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999. Of these amounts, the cost of net software sales,
which consists of total cost of sales less the cost of third party hardware, was
$599,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and $441,000 in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999, representing 21.5% and 8.0% of net software sales, respectively.
Cost of sales for the six month period ended January 31, 1998 was $1.82 million
and $1.09 million for the six month period ended January 31, 1999, a decrease of
39.8%.  The cost of net software sales was $1.55 million for the six month
period ended January 31, 1998 and $962,000 for the six month ended January 31,
1999, representing 19.8% and 8.1% of gross software sales respectively.  Product
margins have increased from the three and six month periods ended January 31,
1998 to the three and six month periods ended January 31, 1999 due to an
increase in large site license sales and certain OEM sales which have higher
margins than the sale of shrink-wrapped software to individual end users.  In
the first quarter of fiscal 1999, cost of gross software sales totaled $520,000
or 8.3% of gross software sales.

                                                                              10

Operating Expenses

Research and Development.  Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.  Eligible software costs incurred between the time a product achieves
technological feasibility until its general release to customers are capitalized
and  amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic life of the product,
which is generally three years.  The Company evaluates the realizable value of
capitalized software on an ongoing basis, relying on a number of factors,
including operating results, business plans, budgets and economic projections.
In addition, the Company evaluates non-financial data such as market trends and
product development cycles.  Research and development costs are reduced by
related grants and investment tax credits.

Research and development costs increased from $2.38 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 to $3.26 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999,
representing 49.5% and 52.9% of net revenues, respectively.  For the six month
period ended January 31, 1998 research and development expenditures were $4.47
million compared to $6.42 million for the six month period ended January 31,
1999, representing 40.7% and 49.7% of net revenues, respectively.  Research and
development expenditures consist primarily of personnel-related costs.
Increases in expenses were due primarily to the growth of the Company's research
and development team from 106 employees at January 31, 1998 to 142 employees at
January 31, 1999.  Research and development expenses in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 were $3.15 million or 46.7% of net revenues.  The research and
development team consisted of 140 employees at October 31, 1998.  The Company
anticipates an increase in research and development costs in future periods to
expand its current and future product lines.

Selling, administrative and technical support.  Selling, administrative and
technical support costs increased from $2.47 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 to $3.10 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, representing
51.4% and 50.3% of net revenues, respectively.  This increase in absolute costs
is due to an increase in selling, administrative and technical support headcount
from 84 employees at January 31, 1998 to 105 employees at January 31, 1999.
Selling, administrative and technical support costs increased from $4.85 million
for the six month period ended January 31, 1998 to $6.16 million for the six
month period ended January 31, 1999, representing 44.2% and 47.7% of net
revenues, respectively.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, selling,
administrative and technical support costs totaled $3.06 million or 45.3% of net
revenues, and headcount in selling, administrative and technical support was 105
employees.  The Company is currently expanding its sales and marketing
activities in the embedded market and anticipates that its selling,
administrative and technical support costs will continue to increase in future
periods.

Depreciation.  Depreciation expense totaled $408,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998, $499,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, and $501,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999.  For the six month period ended January 31, 1998
depreciation expense totaled $794,000 compared to $1.00 million for the six
month period ended January 31, 1999.  The increase in depreciation expense is
due to the Company's investment in property and equipment necessary to provide
support for the Company's personnel growth during these periods.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.58
million.

On October 21, 1997, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement for the
purpose of issuing to certain underwriters by way of private placement,
1,500,000 special warrants ("1997 Special Warrants") at a price of $10.08 each
($9.62 net of underwriters' fee).  Upon the exercise of the 1,500,000 1997
Special Warrants thereby sold, 1,250,000 shares were to have been issued from
treasury by the Company and 250,000 were to have been transferred by three
officers of the Company.  These arrangements were modified in that the Company
agreed to assume two of the officers' obligations to deliver an aggregate of
225,000 Common Shares upon the exercise of the 1997 Special Warrants in
consideration of the payment by those officers of the proceeds received by them
in connection with the offering of the 1997 Special Warrants. The 1997 Special
Warrants were exercised in January 1998. Accordingly, 1,475,000 new shares were
issued by the Company and 25,000 shares were transferred by an officer of the
Company. The 225,000 Common Shares owned by the other two officers of the
Company were purchased by the Company for cancellation in December 1997. The
Company received net proceeds of $11.59 million from the offering. The proceeds
are net of underwriter's fees and accrued offering cost of $1.01 million.

On February 4, 1999, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement for the
purpose of issuing to certain underwriters by way of private placement in
Canada, 1,700,000 special warrants ("1999 Special Warrants") at a price of $4.00
each ($3.76 net of underwriters' fee). In February 1999, 1,700,000 1999 Special
Warrants were issued. Each 1999 Special Warrant entitled the holder thereof to
receive one common share of the Company. The 1999 Special Warrants were
exercised in February 1999, and accordingly, 1,700,000 new shares were issued by
the Company. The Company received net proceeds of $6.25 million from the
offering. The proceeds are net of underwriter's fees and offering costs of
$555,000.

                                                                              11
<PAGE>
 
During April 1998, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with a
bank.  Borrowings under the agreement may aggregate up to $1,50 million and bear
interest at the bank's prime rate of interest plus one percent (8.75% as of
January 31, 1999).  The agreement, which expires in January 2000, is utilized to
collateralize letters of credit issued to the Company's landlord for leasehold
improvements and to meet short-term working capital requirements which may arise
from time to time.  Borrowings under the agreement are collateralized by the
assets of the Company except the Company's intellectual property.  The credit
agreement contains certain minimum quarterly profitability and various
financial-ratio requirements.  As of January 31, 1999, the Company was not in
compliance with certain financial covenants under the agreement.  This non-
compliance has been waived by the bank.  However, there can be no assurance that
the bank would waive any future non-compliance.  Under the agreement, the
Company may not pay dividends or make any other distribution payment on account
or in redemption, retirement or purchase of any capital stock, and the Company
must also limit the amount of funds transferred to any affiliate or affiliated
company.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.33 million and $3.70 million for
the six month periods ended January 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The
decrease in cash from operations is primarily due to the net loss for the
periods and growth in accounts receivable during the periods. Net cash used in
investing activities was $1.01 million and $581,000 for the six month periods
ended January 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. During the six month period ended
January 31, 1998, these expenditures were primarily for the acquisition of
furniture and equipment to support the increase in headcount and the purchase of
a certificate of deposit to collateralize a deposit with the landlord for the
Company's corporate headquarters in Austin, Texas. The expenditures during the
six month period ended January 31, 1999 consisted primarily of investments in
furniture and leasehold improvements related to the Company's headquarters. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $11.78 million and $51,000 for the six
month periods ended January 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. As mentioned above,
the Company completed a financing in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 resulting
in an increase in cash of $11.59 million net of underwriter's fees and offering
costs of $1.01 million.

The Company currently anticipates that existing funds together with anticipated
cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. To the
extent that these sources of funds are insufficient to meet these requirements,
the Company will be required to raise additional funds. Possible sources of
financing include the sale of equity securities or borrowings from banks. The
sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could be dilutive.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all, in the future.


Year 2000 Compliance

The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as the millennium ("Year 2000") approaches. Many
currently installed computer systems and software products are unable to
distinguish between twentieth century dates and twenty-first century dates
because such systems may have been developed using two digits rather than four
to determine the applicable year. For example, computer programs that have date-
sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This error could result in system failures, generation of
erroneous data or miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices
or engage in similar normal business activities. As a result, many companies'
software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or replaced to comply with
such Year 2000 requirements. The Year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex.
Significant uncertainty exists in the software industry concerning the potential
impact of Year 2000 problems. The Company is assessing the potential overall
impact of the impending century change on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

The products provided by the Company process dates only to the extent that these
products use date data provided by the host or target operating system for date
representations used in internal processes, such as file modifications. Any Year
2000 compliance issues resulting from the operation of the products are
therefore necessarily subject to the Year 2000 compliance of the relevant host
or target operating system. The Company has directed its customers to the
relevant statements of Microsoft Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Apple
Computer, Inc., and other host or target operating systems relating to the Year
2000 compliance of their operating systems. Except as expressly described above,
the products, in themselves, do not process date data, and therefore the Company
believes that the products do not implicate Year 2000 compliance issues.

Although the Company believes the current versions of its products are year 2000
compliant, there can be no assurances that the current product versions do not
contain undetected errors or defects associated with year 2000 date functions.

With respect to the Company's internal information technology systems, the
Company's year 2000 internal readiness program primarily covers taking inventory
of hardware and software systems, determining the level of year 2000 compliance
of such systems, assessing business risks associated with such systems, creating
action plans to address known risks, executing and monitoring action plans, and
contingency planning. The Company is currently reviewing and 

                                                                              12

addressing year 2000 issues in its mission critical information technology
systems such as finance, order processing, customer service, project management,
and sales management. The Company is also currently reviewing and addressing
year 2000 issues in its network servers, network software and widely used
desktop software applications. The Company expects to substantially complete
year 2000 readiness preparations by the first or second quarter of calendar
1999. In each case, the Company expects to continue implementation and testing
through calendar 1999. The Company has no current plans to perform an assessment
of embedded technology outside of its information technology systems, and
believes that the failure to be year 2000 compliant of imbedded technology in
systems such as photocopiers, HVAC and cardkey readers will not have a material
effect on the Company's business.

Although the Company has not experienced and does not believe that it will incur
any material costs or experience material disruptions in its business associated
with preparing its internal systems for the year 2000, there can be no
assurances that the Company will not experience serious unanticipated negative
consequences and/or material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the
technology used in its internal systems, which are composed of third party
software, third party hardware and internally developed software, or in the
internal systems of its vendors or customers. The most reasonably likely worst
case scenarios would include: (i) loss or corruption of data contained in the
Company's internal information systems, (ii) hardware failure, (iii) the failure
of infrastructure services provided by government agencies and other third
parties (e.g., electricity, phone service, water transport, internet services,
etc.); (iv) the failure of the internal systems of the Company's vendors or
customers, resulting in problems with providing services or making payments to
the Company. The Company is in the early phases of contingency planning at this
time and expects to undertake more in depth contingency planning after following
the completion of its analysis and correction of its internal year 2000 issues.
The Company expects its contingency plans to include, among other things, manual
work-arounds for software and hardware failures, as well as substitution of
systems or vendors, if necessary.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997; however, it is not required in interim filings in the initial year of
adoption.

Management does not believe the implementation of SFAS No. 131 will have a
material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
