                        FLEXIINTERNATIONAL SOFTWARE, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, which was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2000.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of FlexiInternational Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries and reflect all
adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2000. The results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
expected for the full year.


NOTE 2 -- RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

On February 26, 1999, management, with the approval of the Board of Directors,
took certain actions to reduce employee headcount in order to align its sales,
development and administrative organization with the current overall
organization structure, and to position the Company for profitable growth in the
future consistent with management's long term objectives. In this regard, the
primary actions taken include involuntary terminations of selected personnel.
Severance packages were offered to 66 employees. This reduction in headcount
also led to the Company having excess leased facility space. As a result of
these actions, the Company recorded a charge to operations during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 of $1,896. Of the total amount of this
charge, $1,730 was related to severance costs, of which $667 and $181 were paid
during the three month periods ended March 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999,
respectively, and $166 related to costs of idle facility space, of which $18 and
$95 were paid during the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and June 30,
1999, respectively. Severance benefits in the amount of $216 were paid in the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 with $99 paid in the second quarter and
$117 of paid and charged against this reserve in the quarter ended March 31,
2000. The remaining balance of the severance costs is $185, which will be paid
in installments over the next eight months. See table below. The Company
believes that these actions resulted in sustainable cost savings, primarily
through the elimination of redundant functions in product development, due to
completion of development work on FlexiFinancials Release 4, and to a lesser
extent in the support and sales organizations.

Detail of the restructuring charge is as follows:

                             Severance           Excess

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


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report contains
forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein
that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates,"
"plans," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of
the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly
release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

      FlexiInternational Software Inc. designs, develops, markets and supports
the Flexi Financial Enterprise Suite of financial and accounting software
applications and related tools. The Flexi solution -- composed of
FlexiFinancials, Flexi Financial Datawarehouse (FlexiFDW), FlexilnfoAccess and
FlexiTools -- is designed to address the needs of users with sophisticated
financial accounting and operational analysis requirements. In addition, we
recently began marketing our financial management services (FMS) solution, a
business process outsourcing (BPO) service that will leverage our suite of
accounting products and our expertise in back office processing of accounting
data. We found that mid-sized and start-up fast growing companies want to
outsource their back office accounting processes while they focus on financial
analysis, cash management and the strategic issues of their business.

      Our revenues are currently derived from two sources: software license
revenues and service and maintenance revenues. Software license revenues had
generally grown as additional applications had been released for general
availability and the installed base of customers has increased. However, this
trend has reversed in recent years as customers delayed their buying decisions
until the uncertainties surrounding the year 2000 were resolved. Service and
maintenance revenues growth is depended upon increase in the sale of new
software license revenues, which increases our installed base of customers who
are paying for maintenance and increases the utilization of our consulting
services practice by our customer base for the installation and customization of
their newly purchased software.

      Software license revenues include (i) revenues from noncancellable
software license agreements entered into between us and our customers with
respect to our products, (ii) royalties due us from third parties that
distribute our products and, to a lesser extent, (iii) third-party products
distributed by us. Software license revenues through our direct sales channel
are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the licensed
products have been shipped, fees are fixed and determinable and collectibility
is considered probable. Software license royalties earned through our indirect
sales channel are recognized as such fees are reported to us. Revenues on all
software license transactions in which there are significant outstanding
obligations are not recognized until such obligations are fulfilled. Significant
obligations would include future promises of enhancements and/or modifications
that are essential to the product. Revenues for maintaining, supporting and
providing periodic upgrading are deferred and recognized ratably over the
maintenance period, which is generally one year. Revenues from training and
consulting services are recognized as such services are performed. We do not
require collateral for our receivables, and reserves are maintained for
potential losses.

      Historically, our revenues have been derived from both domestic sales and
international sales, with the international sales comprising 18% of total
revenues for the six-month period and 21% of total revenues for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. Our international sales generally have the same cost
structure as our domestic sales. A majority of our international sales are
denominated in British pounds and an increase in the value of the British pound
relative to the currency of the country we are selling the product in, could
make our products more expensive and, therefore, potentially less competitive in
these markets. In addition, our international business may be subject to a
variety of other risks, including difficulties in collecting international
accounts receivable or obtaining U.S. export licenses, the introduction of
non-tariff barriers and higher duty rates and fiscal and monetary policies that
adversely affect non-native firms. See "Factors that May Affect Future Operating
Results."

      We evaluate the technological feasibility of all of our products during
the software development phase. Because of the complexity of our products, the
time period during which costs could be capitalized, from the point



                                       8


<PAGE>   9

of reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release
is very short and, consequently, the amounts that could be capitalized are not
material to our financial position or results of operations. Therefore, we
charge all of our product development expenses to operations in the period
incurred.

43% from $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000. Total revenues decreased 18%, from $7.9 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1999 to $6.5 million for the six month
period ended June 30, 2000. We believe that the combination of a long sales
cycle for our products, coupled with the delays in potential customers' buying
decisions as their focus changes from concern over potential Y2K problems to
confusion over what capabilities a product they purchase has to have to meet the
increasing requirements of e-commerce. We expect our recovery to be restrained
as potential customers try to determine what they require in a product to meet
their needs in this changing environment.

     Software license revenues increased 54%, to $1.0 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 from $0.7 million for the comparable period of the prior
year. Software license revenue in the June 2000 quarter included $566,000 of
previously deferred income from a former customer, which accounted for
approximately 56% of our total software



                                       9

revenue for quarter. For the six-month period, software license revenue
increased 35% over the comparable period last year and included revenues from
two separate customers that accounted for 52% of the total software revenue. We
believe that our software revenues were and will continue to be negatively
impacted by the year 2000 acquisition slowdown among large potential customers
and confusion over what is required of the software they purchase for them to
compete in the new economy. Even though our products have successfully broached
the millennium and are web enabled, the normal sales cycle from lead generation
to closing averages two to three quarters and can extend to over a year for very
large orders.

     We have been trying to bolster our recovery by rebuilding our sales force
to focus on increasing our sales channels (such as the previously disclosed
agreement with The Freedom Group) and expanding our product offerings to include
providing back office processing for mid sized companies requiring BPO &
accounting outsourcing services utilizing our software and other internal
resources. We believe that the addition of the accounting outsourcing product
extension will, over time, provide a solid, consistent and profitable source of
revenue that will smooth out some of the current fluctuations of our business.
Our intention is develop a new revenue model that will focus on recurring
monthly revenue rather than large infrequent sales, as is often the case now.
The earliest we can expect to realize revenue from accounting outsourcing is the
fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. While we are confident that these
actions will ultimately produce a return to consistent and profitable growth in
the future, we recognize that this evolution will take several quarters to begin
to have a positive impact on operations.

     Service and maintenance revenues decreased 43%, from $3.3 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.
For the six-month period, service and maintenance revenue declined 30% from the
levels of the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a drop in
service revenue due to fewer active client implementations. We do not expect
this source of revenue to resume a growth pattern until we resume a stronger
pattern of growth in software license fees.

     Cost of Revenues. Our cost of software license revenues consists primarily
of the cost of product media, manuals, shipping and the cost of third-party
software products distributed by us. Cost of service and maintenance revenues
consists of the cost of providing consulting, implementation and training to
licensees of our products and the cost of providing software maintenance to
customers, technical support services and periodic upgrades of software.

     Cost of software license revenues decreased 55%, from $94,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $42,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Cost
of software license revenues as a percentage of software license revenues
decreased from 14% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to 4% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. The cost of software license revenues for the six-month
period increased 23% to $200, which reflects the higher level of revenue in the
period. The decrease in cost of software license revenues was primarily due to a
decrease in third-party software products distributed by us.

     Cost of service and maintenance revenues decreased 57%, from $2.0 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2000. For the six-month period these costs were 52% below the comparable
period last year. The decrease in the costs of services and maintenance was
primarily the result of the increased efficiency realized in providing services
in the current year, which is a direct result of the corporate restructuring
that took place in the first and second quarters of the prior fiscal year (see
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and a reduced level of
installation related service revenue.

     Aggregate operating expenses declined 82% in the quarter ended June 30,
2000 to $1.8 million from $9.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. For
the first six months of 2000 these costs declined 79% to $4.1 million from $19
million the previous year. This reduction in costs is a direct result of the
restructuring, noted above, and the aforementioned reduced level of revenues.
Comparisons made between either the six-month period or the second quarter of
the current fiscal year to the comparable periods of the prior year may not be
meaningful because of the restructuring.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions, travel and promotional expenses, and facility and
communication costs for direct sales offices. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased 76%, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $.4
million in the second quarter of the current fiscal year. For the six-month
period of the current year, sales and marketing costs are 80% below the levels
of last year. Last year's restructuring resulted in a sharp curtailment of our
marketing and direct sales efforts to a level consistent with a lower level of
new product revenue. We have recently started to increase our investment in
sales and marketing to support the expansion of our product line to the
accounting outsourcing area, develop a limited and focused direct sales effort
and to continue the pursuit of more Flexi Industry Partnership arrangements. In
the second quarter of this year, we hired two new sales representatives for our
domestic operations and two for our international operations. Additionally,
other internal resources have been transferred to strengthen our marketing and
sales efforts.

     Product Development. Product development expenses include software
development costs and consist primarily of engineering personnel costs. Product
development expenses decreased 66%, from $1.9 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 to $.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and 69% to $1.4
million for the six-month period. Product development expenses are expected to
increase slightly throughout the latter part of the year as we maintain our
investment in the core product development area, develop an e-procurement
product and further enhance the web enablement of our products.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries of executive, administrative and financial personnel, as
well as provisions for doubtful accounts, amortization of goodwill and outside
professional fees. General and administrative expenses decreased 61%, from $1.8
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $.7 million in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2000. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, these costs
declined 57% to $1.8 million. The general and administrative expenses should
stay fairly constant over the next several quarters. We expect to leverage our
existing staff to provide the resources for the beginning stages of the
accounting outsourcing product and provide additional resources only as
committed revenues warrant.

     Goodwill Impairment. During June 1999 management conducted a periodic
impairment assessment of the intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of
The Dodge Group. As a result of that review, management concluded that an
impairment had occurred with the goodwill and a $4.2 million write down of
goodwill to a carrying value of $0.3 million was recorded in the second quarter
of 1999. Our financial data warehouse products based on existing technologies
are expected to continue generating revenue through 2002, and thereafter, be
substantially replaced by more advanced technologies currently under
development. However, future research and development spending on follow-on
technologies will be dependent on management's prioritization of investments
under conditions of limited financial resources (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources below). As a result, expected future revenue and cash flows from the
acquired Dodge business were revised downward significantly, causing the
impairment of goodwill.

     Interest Income and Interest Expense. Interest income represents income
earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Net interest income was $1,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 versus net income of $10,000 for the comparable
period of the prior year. For the six-month period we incurred net interest
expense of $1,000 as compared to net interest income of $84,000 last year. This
decrease was primarily due to the reduced level of funds invested in the current
fiscal year as compared to the prior year. Interest expense represents interest
expense on capital equipment leases, and borrowings under the Company's line of
credit.

     Income Taxes. No provision or benefit for federal, state or foreign income
taxes was made for the quarters or six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 or 1999
due to the operating losses incurred in the respective periods. The Company has
reported only tax losses to date and consequently has approximately $44.9
million and $9.2 million of U.S. and foreign net operating loss carryforwards,
respectively, which expire during the years 2005 through 2019, available to
offset future taxable income. The utilization of such net operating losses is
subject to limitations as a result of ownership changes. The annual limitation
and the timing of attaining profitability will result in the expiration of net
operating loss carryforwards before utilization. The Company's deferred tax
assets at June30, 2000 were $22.6 million, consisting primarily of net operating
loss carryforwards. The Company's benefit of deferred tax assets has been fully
reserved as of June 30, 2000 as the realization of deferred taxes is dependent
on future events and earnings, if any, the timing and extent of which are
uncertain.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through
private placements of our stock to private investors, issuances of convertible
promissory notes and loans, equipment financing and traditional borrowing
arrangements. In December 1997, we had an initial public offering of our Common
Stock, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $22.2 million.

     As of June 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million, a
decrease of $1.2 million from December 31, 1999. Our working capital deficit at
June 30, 2000 was $4.0 million, compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 1999.
Our working capital deficit is primarily the result of deferred revenues of $5.1
and $8.4 at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 respectively. Our operating
activities resulted in net cash outflow of $1.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, and resulted primarily from payment of previously accrued
liabilities and a reduction of deferred liability.

     While we believe that cash, cash equivalents and cash generated internally
by operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for
at least the next twelve months, we do caution that this is contingent upon our
continuing to have substantially breakeven results over the next several
quarters. We are currently evaluating financing alternatives, however there can
be no assurance that capital will be available to us on favorable terms, or at
all.



                                       11

     Management continues to take actions to reduce costs in response to lower
revenues and is prepared to take further actions, if necessary, in order to
continue to respond to competitive and economic pressures in the marketplace.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to reduce costs to a
level to appropriately respond to competitive pressures or to obtain additional
funding. As a result of the foregoing, there exists substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of
recorded assets or the amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.


FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

     Dependence on Key Personnel. Our success depends substantially on the
performance of our executive officers and key employees, including our sales
force and software professionals, particularly project managers, software
engineers and other senior technical personnel. We are dependent on our ability
to attract, retain and motivate high-quality personnel, especially our
management, sales staff and highly skilled development team. We do not have
employment contracts with any of our key personnel. The loss of the services of
any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We maintain a key person insurance policy on Stefan R. Bothe, Chief Executive
Officer.

     Flexi Industry Partnerships (FIP). We have entered into several long-term
agreements where our products are licensed to the end users by a third party. As
a result of the reduction in sales and marketing expenditures that were part of
last year's restructuring, this sales channel has become critical to our
continued success. We have no control over the sales effort put forth by these
companies and cannot be guaranteed the extent to which these arrangements will
benefit us in the future.

     The Impact on Sales of the Year 2000. Our recovery may be slowed if the
delays in potential customers' buying decisions that occurred last year, as
result of concerns over the effect that the new millennium (Y2K) may have had on
their computer systems, do not return to a normal level of demand for our
products.

     Our software is often used for business-critical purposes, and its
implementation involves significant capital commitments by customers. Potential
customers generally commit significant resources to an evaluation of available
software and require us to expend substantial time, effort and money educating
potential customers about the value of our solutions. Sales of our software
products require an extensive education and marketing effort throughout a
customer's organization because decisions to license such software generally
involve the evaluation of the software by a significant number of customer
personnel in various functional and geographic areas, each having specific and
often conflicting requirements. A variety of factors, including factors over
which we have little or no control, may cause potential customers to favor a
competing vendor or to delay or forego a purchase. This is especially true as we
offer a new e-procurement solution and further enhanced web capabilities to our
existing products. As a result of these or other factors, the sales cycle for
our products is long, typically ranging between three and nine months. Due to
the length of the sales cycle for our software products, including delays in
implementing our software across several functional and geographic areas of an
organization, our ability to forecast the timing and amount of specific sales is
limited, reliance on our FIP partners who resell our software and the delay or
failure to complete one or more large license transactions could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

     Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Performance; Seasonality. Our revenues
and operating results have varied substantially from quarter to quarter. Our
quarterly operating results may continue to fluctuate due to a number of
factors, including the timing, size and nature of our licensing transactions;
the market acceptance of new services, products or product enhancements by us or
our competitors; product and price competition; the relative proportions of
revenues derived from license fees, services and third-party channels; changes
in our operating expenses; personnel changes; the timing of the introduction,
and the performance of, our Flexi Industry Partners; foreign currency exchange
rates; and fluctuations in economic and financial market conditions.

     The timing, size and nature of individual licensing transactions are
important factors in our quarterly results of operations. Many such transactions
involve large dollar amounts, and the sales cycles for these transactions are
often lengthy and unpredictable. In addition, the sales cycles associated with
these transactions are subject to a number of uncertainties, including
customers' budgetary constraints, the timing of customers' budget cycles and
customers' internal approval processes. There can be no assurance that we will
be successful in closing such large transactions on a timely basis or at all.
Software license revenues under our license agreements are recognized upon
delivery and installation of the product and when all significant contractual
obligations have been satisfied. Significant obligations would include future
promises of enhancements and/or modification that are essential to the product.
Delays in the installation of our software, including potential delays
associated with contractual enhancements to our software products, could
materially adversely affect our quarterly results of operations. In


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

addition, as we derive a significant proportion of total revenues from license
revenues, we may realize a disproportionate amount of its revenues and income in
the last month of each quarter and, as a result, the magnitude of quarterly
fluctuations may not become evident until late in, or at the end of, a given
quarter. Accordingly, delays in product delivery and installation or in the
closing of sales near the end of a quarter could cause quarterly revenues and,
to a greater degree, results of operations to fall substantially short of
anticipated levels


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Market risk refers to the potential effects of unfavorable changes in
certain prices and rates on Company's financial results and conditions,
primarily foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on marketable
securities. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments in managing its
exposure to such changes. The Company does not believe that near-term changes in
foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates will have a material effect on
its future earnings, fair values or cash flows.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In July 1997, Innovative Computing Corporation ("ICC") filed a suit against the
Company in federal district court for the Western District of Oklahoma. The
complaint alleged breaches by the Company under a software distribution
agreement and sought damages equal in amount to any damages that Challenger
Motor Freight, a sublicensee of ICC, and a third party to the limitation between
ICC and the Company, may recover from ICC. The Company denied the allegations
and counter claimed against ICC for breach of contract and violation of the
covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In April 2000 ICC and the Company
jointly stipulated to the dismissal without prejudice of their respective
claims. In May 2000 the court approved this stipulation and dismissed all claims
between ICC and the Company without prejudice.

     In August 1998, Client Server Solutions Limited ("CSS") filed a demand for
arbitration, asserting claims for commissions of $3.4 million allegedly owing by
the Company to CSS pursuant to an international representation agreement between
the parties. The Company has denied CSS's allegations. The matter was submitted
to arbitration in June 2000 and the proceeding is currently on hold and expected
to resume later this year. At this time it is not possible for the Company to
determine the likely outcome of the proceeding.
