      AND BUSINESS            generally accepted accounting principles and      
      COMBINATION:            reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal     
                              recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of   
                              management, are necessary for a fair presentation 
                              of the results for the periods shown. The results 
                              of operations for such periods are not necessarily
                              indicative of the results expected for the full   
                              fiscal year or for any future period. The         
                              accompanying consolidated financial statements    
                              should be read in conjunction with the audited    
                              financial statements of NetLive Communications,   
                              Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 1998 and for 
                              the year then ended and the notes thereto included

                              and Form 8-K dated December 10, 1998. Certain     
                              information and footnote disclosures normally     
                              included in financial statements prepared in

                              principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
                              to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
                              Exchange Commission. The Company believes,        
                              however, that the disclosures in this report are  
                              adequate to make the information presented not    
                              misleading in any material respect.               
                                                                                
                              In December 1998, the Company formed two wholly   
                              owned Australian subsidiaries, Linda Industries   
                              Pty. Limited ("Linda") and Modara Oaks Pty.       
                              Limited ("Modara").                               
                                                                                
                              Effective December 31, 1998, the Company, a       
                              substantially inactive company subject to the     
                              reporting requirements of the Securities and      
                              Exchange Act of 1934, sold 8,000,000 shares of    
                              common stock and 1,000,000 shares of convertible  
                              preferred stock, as adjusted for a 1-for-3.4      
                              reverse stock split, to several Australian        
                              purchasers including Newton Grace Pty Limited     
                              ("Newton Grace") and the shareholders of Newton   
                              Grace (the "Purchasers") for $10,000,000          
                              Australian Dollars ("AUD"). Simultaneously, Linda 
                              and Modara purchased (the "Asset Purchase") the   
                              operating assets (excluding cash and certain      
                              receivables) and registered trademarks            
                              (collectively the "Assets") of Newton Grace for   
                              AUD $21,923,060. The Asset Purchase was funded in 
                              part by an AUD $10,000,000 loan from National     
                              Australia Bank Limited and an AUD $1,923,060 note 
                              payable to the seller, prior to an adjustment of  
                              approximately AUD $700,000. The balance of the    
                              note payable to the seller was satisfied by       
                              payments made by Linda on behalf of the seller,
                              subject to adjustment.    
                                                                                
                              This business combination has been accounted for  
                              as a reverse acquisition whereby the Company is   
                              being treated as being acquired in a purchase     
                              transaction by Newton Grace, as control rests with
                              the former Newton Grace shareholders.             
                                                                                
                              Although prior to its acquisition by the          
                              Purchasers, the Company had been the registrant,  
                              the comparative financial statements of Newton    
                              Grace are presented since such entity is deemed to
                              be the purchaser in a business combination        
                              accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the     
                              registrant will now be reporting on a June 30     
                              year-end. In addition, there have been no         
                              significant changes of accounting policy since    
                              June 30, 1998.                                    
                                                                                
                              Effective in May 1999, the Company changed its    
                              name to Lindatech Inc.

                              liquidation of the underlying foreign investment. 
                                                                                
                              The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities   
                              and assets for the expected future tax            
                              consequences of temporary differences between the 
                              carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and  
                              liabilities.                                      
                                                                                
                              In February 1997, the Financial Accounting        
                              Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per 
                              Share. SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of 
                              basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS  
                              on the face of all statements of earnings issued  
                              after December 15, 1997 for all entities with     
                              complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed 
                              as net earnings divided by the weighted-average   
                              number of common shares outstanding for the       
                              period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential        
                              dilution that could occur from common shares      
                              issuable through stock-based compensation         
                              including stock options, restricted stock awards, 
                              warrants and other convertible securities. Diluted
                              EPS is not presented since the effect would be    
                              antidilutive.                                     
                              
 3.   NOTES PAYABLE:          The note payable - bank bears interest at the
                              bank's lending rate (4.86% at March 31, 1999) and
                              additionally requires a facility fee equal to
                              1.25% per annum, as defined. The note is due and
                              payable on June 30, 1999. The note is
                              collateralized by all of Linda's assets and
                              guaranteed by the Company. The bank also provided
                              an AUD $1,600,000 line of credit to Linda which
                              expires June 30, 1999 with interest currently at
                              8.5% per annum plus 1% to 3.5% based on
                              outstanding balances, as defined.

Item 2.          Management's Discussion and Analysis
                 or Plan of Operation                

GENERAL

On December 10, 1998, Lindatech Inc. (formerly NetLive Communications, Inc.), a
Delaware corporation (the "Registrant") sold shares of its Common Stock, $.0001
par value per share, and non-voting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which
in the aggregate would equal, when fully issued and converted, approximately
ninety percent (90%) of the Common Stock to several Australian purchasers,
including Newton Grace Pty Limited, an Australian corporation ("Newton Grace").
Simultaneously with such purchase, Newton Grace sold all of the operating assets
of its consumer electric goods business to two wholly-owned Australian
subsidiaries of the Registrant. At a meeting held on May 11, 1999, the
stockholders of the Registrant approved these transactions. On May 18, 1999, the
Registrant effectuated a 3.4 to 1 reverse stock split and changed its trading
symbol for its shares of Common Stock on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board to LNDA.

For accounting purposes, these transactions (the "Transactions") are treated as
a reverse merger in which Newton Grace becomes the accounting acquirer and the
historical financial statements of Newton Grace replace those of the Registrant.
Accordingly, the Registrant is now reporting on a June 30 year end. The Newton
Grace financial statements presented in this report have been adjusted to
reflect the Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Registrant as if the
Transactions were consummated and completed on December 31, 1998.

The Registrant has reorganized its Australian operations into a manufacturing
and marketing division (Linda Industries) and a research and development
division (which has been renamed Linda Technologies). Linda Technologies owns
all of the intellectual property and develops all new appliances and blanket
products.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1999 the Registrant launched a new electronic
controller for its market-leading electric blankets and produced tooling for a
new versatile appliance, the Hotpot. Management hopes that these initiatives
will benefit shareholders by increasing revenues and reducing operating costs as
a percentage of revenues.

Three new Directors were appointed to the Board during the quarter ended 
March 31, 1999. Adrian D. Wischer is President, CEO and a Director; Drew A. 
Ilsley and Frank D. Spencer are Directors.

The Board has commissioned a business diagnostic of the Linda business and
coordinated the preparation of a strategic plan for the Registrant. The business
diagnostic has identified some

                                        6

<PAGE>

significant areas of sub-optimal performance, as can be deduced from the results
following.

Although the March 1999 quarter results are disappointing, they include
significant one-time or non-recurring expenses. Sales of electric blankets
(approximately 75% of revenues) have increased 8% over the prior period. This is
due to new packaging, new products and the new electronic controller. The
rationalization of the appliance division has continued, with deletions from the
range of products where we had no competitive advantage. Delays on commissioning
tooling for new kettle products resulted in a further sales decline and a
disappointing result for the quarter.

The financial statements presented in this report are expressed in United States
dollars (US Dollars or US$). To quantify the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations on the results of operations, comparative information is expressed
on a percentage basis for both US Dollars and Australian Dollars (AUD or A$).
The Australian Dollar percentages reflect operational changes between comparable
periods while differences between Australian Dollar percentages and US Dollar
percentages also reflect foreign currency fluctuations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 TO THE NINE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

Sales decreased by 14.8% (4.9% in AUD) to $5,273,802 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999 from $6,192,789 for the comparable period in 1998. This decrease
in sales is attributable to a 24% decrease in appliance sales, which was only
partially offset by an 8% increase in sales of electric blankets. Cost of goods
sold decreased by 0.4% (but increased by 11% in AUD) for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to 1998. The cost of goods sold expressed as a
percentage of sales rose from 66.5% in 1998 to 77.7% in 1999. This increase is
primarily attributable to leasing a new warehouse, higher production costs of
electric blankets due to lower productivity, and increased production costs of
appliances due to unacceptably high rejection rates of the finished products. As
a result of the sales decline and the increased rate of cost of goods sold,
gross profit declined by 43.4% (36.5% in AUD) to $1,175,342 in 1999 from
$2,076,105 in 1998.

Operating expenses increased by $1,071,676 (85.3%) to $2,328,670 in 1999 from
$1,256,994 in 1998 due to increased amortization expenses ($193,953), the
reverse merger accounting treatment of the Transactions, which combined the
administrative and corporate costs of Lindatech Inc. ($528,038, of which
approximately $350,000 is attributable to the Transactions) with those of Newton
Grace, and a $339,769 increase in the operating costs of Linda Industries Pty
Ltd. (primarily due to $207,000 of consulting fees, $75,781 of bank fees,
$27,063 of rent, and $18,388 in overseas travel).

                                        7

<PAGE>

Interest income in 1999 declined by 44.0% from the comparable period in 1998,
due to lower balances on deposit because of the operating expense increase. The
resulting benefit for income tax purposes ($124,441) of the net loss in 1999 as
compared to $441,116 of income tax expense in 1998 was a moderating influence so
that a net loss of ($907,323) was recognized in the 1999 period as contrasted to
net income of $784,205 in 1998.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

Sales decreased by 10.0% (3.3% in AUD) to $3,039,879 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 from $3,379,378 for the comparable period in 1998. This decrease
in sales is attributable to a decrease in sales of appliances which was offset
somewhat by an increase in sales of electric blankets. Cost of goods sold
decreased by 1.0% (but an increase of 6.4% in AUD) for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to 1998. The cost of goods sold expressed as a
percentage of sales rose from 64.1% in 1998 to 70.6% in 1999. This increase is
primarily attributable to leasing a new warehouse, higher production costs of
electric blankets due to lower productivity, and increased production costs of
appliances due to unacceptably high rejection rates of the finished products. As
a result of the sales decline and increased rate of cost of goods sold, gross
profit declined by 26.2% (20.7% in AUD) to $894,456 in 1999 from $1,211,532 in
1998.

Operating expenses increased by $680,022 (144.9%) to $1,149,372 in 1999 from
1998 due to increased amortization expenses ($107,336), the reverse merger
accounting treatment of the Transactions, which combined the administrative and
corporate costs of Lindatech Inc. ($528,038, of which approximately $350,000 is
attributable to the Transactions) with those of Newton Grace, and a $339,769
increase in the operating costs of Linda Industries Pty Ltd. (primarily due to
$207,000 of consulting fees, $75,781 of bank fees, $27,063 of rent, and $18,388
in overseas travel).

Interest income in 1999 decreased by 100% from the comparable period in 1998,
due to the use of cash balances to fund operating expenses, including the cost
of the Transactions. Registrant realized a net loss of ($408,178) in the 1999
period as contrasted to net income of $545,340 in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As described above, the financial statements included in this Report are the
historical financial statements of Newton Grace, a privately-held Australian
company, adjusted to reflect the Registrant's Common Stock and Preferred Stock
as if the Transactions were completed on December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999
the consolidated balance sheet shows current assets of $7,517,953 and cash and
cash equivalents and accounts receivable of

                                        8

<PAGE>

$1,953,817. This contrasts to total liabilities of $9,998,684 and current
liabilities (excluding current portions of capital leases) of $9,445,569,
respectively. This balance sheet shows a working capital deficit of $2,133,653.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $51,358 and $1,136,576 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This decline is
attributable to the combination of (i) a 34.0% decrease (24.4% in AUD) in
receipts from customers more than offsetting a 28.2% decrease (17.8% in AUD) in
payments to suppliers, and (ii) a 42.6% decrease (34.2% in AUD) in interest
received. Customer receipts declined in the 1999 period from 1998 due to the
combination of lower sales and implementation of an early payment settlement
discount of four to five percent. This early payment discount had the effect of
shifting receipts to a prior reporting period. The decrease in payments to
suppliers was attributable to lower sales achieved in 1999 as compared to the
nine month period ended March 31, 1998.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing was $8,771,129 in 1999 and
($10,037,571) in 1998. This difference in comparable periods is primarily
attributable to the investment of $10,528,500 in a restricted term deposit in
1998 and the receipt of $9,196,500 of proceeds from such term deposit in 1999.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($9,936,066) and
$153,125 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Such
use of cash in 1999 is primarily due to the excess of $16,496,990 in dividends
paid to Newton Grace's shareholder over $6,123,000 in proceeds from bank debt in
connection with Newton Grace's sale of its operating assets to Linda Industries
Pty Ltd., an Australian subsidiary of the Registrant.

Pursuant to the terms of Overdraft and Multi-Option facilities (the "Overdraft
and Multi-Option Facilities"), dated February 9, 1999 between National Australia
Bank Limited (the "NAB") and Linda, as detailed in a letter of offer of the NAB
to Linda, dated February 9, 1999, Linda may borrow up to AUD $1,200,000 under
the Overdraft Facility in the form of a revolving credit line at NAB's base
variable rate (currently 8.50% per annum), plus a margin of 1.0% per annum on
balances up to AUD $500,000 and 3.5% per annum on balances over such amount,
calculated daily and payable monthly in arrears. The Overdraft Facility also
requires payment of a line fee equal to 0.8% per annum, payable semi-annually.
In addition, AUD $400,000 may be utilized by Linda under the Multi-Option
Facility in any combination of a documentary letter of credit facility, a
leasing facility or an encashment negotiation advice facility. Certain
negotiation fees were payable and ongoing annual fees are payable by Linda to
the NAB under the Overdraft and Multi-Option Facilities. The purpose of the
Overdraft and Multi-Option Facilities are to provide for day-to-day working

                                        9

<PAGE>

capital requirements of Linda's business, enable the importing and exporting of
goods and enable the leasing of equipment used for "business purposes" and the
assignment of exiting leases from Newton Grace. The Overdraft and Multi-Option
Facilities expire on June 30, 1999. As of April 26, 1999, AUD $1,193,349 was
outstanding under the Overdraft and Multi-Option Facilities.

In order to assist Linda with the purchase of the assets of Newton Grace, the
NAB and Linda have also entered into a Bills Accepted/Discounted (Floating)
facility (the "Bill Facility"), pursuant to which Linda borrowed AUD $10
million. The interest rate payable by Linda under the Bill Facility floats at
NAB's rate for Bank Accepted Bills, which rate currently is approximately 5.0%
per annum. The Bill Facility also requires Linda to pay a facility fee of 1.25%
per annum to the NAB, payable quarterly in advance. Amounts outstanding under
the Bill Facility mature on June 30, 1999.

The Overdraft and Multi-Option Facilities and the Bill Facility (collectively,
the "NAB Facilities") are secured by (i) liens over all of the assets of Linda
(in the form of registered charges over all assets in Australia), (ii) a
guarantee and indemnity to the NAB for AUD $11.6 million from the Registrant
supported by liens over all of its assets and (iii) guarantees and indemnities
to the NAB for AUD $11.6 million from Newton Grace and affiliated persons,
certain of which are supported by liens over all of their respective assets,
including over the shares of common stock of the Registrant held by each of the
foregoing guarantors.

Registrant anticipates that it will be able to meet its cash requirements for
fiscal 1999 with a combination of cash flow from operations, current cash
balances, and/or borrowings under the NAB Facilities.

"YEAR 2000" PROBLEM. The Registrant is aware of the issues associated with the
programming code in existing computer systems acquired from Newton Grace by
Linda as the millennium (Year 2000) approaches. The "Year 2000" problem is
pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation will be affected in
some way by the rollover of the latter two digit year value to 00. The issue is
whether computer systems will properly recognize date sensitive information when
the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such
information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail. Registrant
has upgraded its computers and believes that they are Year 2000 compliant and
that the "Year 2000" problem will not have a material adverse effect upon the
Company.
