REVENUES

The Company's revenues are divided into three categories: initial license fees,
annual renewal license and support fees, and services and other revenues.
Initial license fees are comprised principally of license fees for the first
year of use of the Company's products by end user customers. Annual renewal
license and support fees are comprised principally of mandatory fees paid by
customers annually for continued use and support of the licensed products.
Services and other revenues are comprised principally of fees for consulting,
application development and training services performed by the Company as well
as fees received from Xerox in connection with the sale of certain Xerox printer
products. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with AICPA Statement of
Position on Software Revenue Recognition No. 91-1. Initial license revenue is
recognized upon shipment of the product to customers if no significant Company
obligations remain and collection of the receivable is deemed probable. The
portion of the initial license revenue which represents the software support for
the first year is deferred and recognized ratably over the contract period.
Revenues from commissions paid by Xerox in connection with the sale of Xerox
printer products are recognized upon installation of the printer products.
Revenues generated from consulting and training services are recognized as the
related services are performed.

Total revenues increased by 79% from $2.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
1996, and increased by 62% from $6.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This
growth was due primarily to the increases in revenues from initial licenses of
software and growth in services and other revenue.

The Company sells its products principally through a direct sales force
domestically, and internationally principally through distributors and value
added resellers ("VARS") and, to a lesser extent, through its direct sales
force. Revenues from export sales and sales through the Company's foreign
subsidiary increased 36% from $1.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 1995 to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, and
increased 24% from $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to
$3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This growth was
principally due to expansion of the VAR channel in Europe. Revenues from export
sales were 45% and 34% of total revenues for the three months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and 41% and 31% of total revenues for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

The Company and Xerox maintain a strategic marketing alliance agreement under
which the parties have agreed to pay each other fees on referrals that lead to
the successful licensing or sales of each other's products. The Company's
revenues from the strategic marketing alliance, principally commissions from
sales of Xerox printers, were $167,300 and $259,200 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and $325,000 and $845,800 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The fees received
by the Company from sales of Xerox printers under the strategic marketing
alliance have little associated costs, have had a high degree of inconsistency
from quarter to quarter and are difficult to project. Failure to continue to
receive such fees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company has entered into distributorship agreements with various Xerox
foreign affiliates to remarket the Company's products internationally. The
Company's revenues from such distributorship agreements related to the
licensing, maintenance and support of the Company's products increased 15% from
$719,300 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $829,900 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. Revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and September 30, 1996 were $1.9 million and $1.5 million,
respectively. This decrease is due principally to substantially reduced sales
through Xerox Canada Ltd. in Canada and to a lesser extent, to reduced European
revenues from Xerox affiliates.

Initial license fees. Initial license fee revenues increased 104% from $1.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 and increased 62% from $3.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $6.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. The increase was due principally to sales to new
customers, expansion of the direct sales force and expansion of the Company's
indirect distribution channel, especially the value added reseller channel in
Europe. During the three months ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1996
the Company derived revenue from two single customers for initial license fees
in the amounts of $342,000 and $528,600 respectively. These transactions
represented 15% and 13% of total revenues for the respective three month
periods.

Annual renewal license and support fees. Revenues from annual renewal license
and support fees increased 23% from $514,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to $631,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
and increased 22% from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was
principally due to the larger installed base of users of the Company's software
products. As a percentage of total revenues, annual renewal license and support
fees have decreased from approximately 22% to 15% for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996 and from approximately 22% to 16% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. This decrease is principally due to
the strong increase in initial license revenues.

        Services and other. Revenues from services and other increased 77% from
$538,700 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $951,700 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, and increased 105% from $1.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. The increase was principally due to the increased
number of new customer licenses of the Company's software generating increased
demand for services, and the increase in commissions from $167,300 to $259,200
for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and from
$325,000 to $845,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, under the strategic marketing alliance for the sale of Xerox
printer products.

Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues was 11% and 15% of total revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and 11% and 15% of total
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues resulted
primarily from increased personnel costs associated with providing professional
consulting services to customers.

Cost of initial license fees. Cost of initial licenses of software includes
documentation, reproduction costs, product packaging, packaging design, product
media, employment costs for training, installation and distribution personnel
and the cost of third party software. The cost of initial licenses increased
520% from $34,300 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $212,800 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, and increased 297% from $132,700 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $526,400 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. The increases were primarily the result of increased
payments for third party software integrated into the Company's Document Library
software products. As a percent of initial license fee revenues, the cost of
initial license fees was 3% and 8% for the three months ended September 30, 1995
and 1996, respectively, and 4% and 9% for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively. The cost of initial license fees also included the
amortization of capitalized software development costs of $7,200 and $25,900 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively and $22,900 and
$78,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Cost of annual renewal license and support fees. Cost of annual renewal license
and support fees consists principally of the employment-related costs for the
Company's technical support staff, which performs technical software support
services. These costs increased 42% from $86,400 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to $122,600 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
and increased 38% from $266,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to
$367,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of annual
renewal license and support fee revenues, these costs were 17% and 19% for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and 19% and 21%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. This
increase was the result of additional personnel to support the expansion of the
installed base of users of the Company's software products.

Cost of services and other. Cost of services and other consists principally of
the employment-related costs for the Company's staff of product consultants and
trainers. There are little or no costs related to commissions from the sale of
Xerox printers under the strategic marketing alliance. Cost of services and
other revenue increased 151% from $114,900 for the three months ended September
30, 1995 to $288,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, and
increased 108% from $293,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to
$609,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The costs of services and
other represented 21% and 30% of the related revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and 22% and 23% of related revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 respectively. The increase
in cost of services and other revenues resulted principally from the additional
staffing to provide professional consulting services.

Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of
the employment-related costs of personnel associated with developing new
products, enhancing existing products, testing software products and developing
product documentation. The Company expenses all costs for research and
development of new products until technological feasibility has been assured.
Thereafter, costs of production are capitalized until general release of the
product. The capitalized costs of software production are amortized using the
greater of the amount computed using the ratio of current product revenues to
estimated total product revenues or the straight-line method over the remaining
estimated economic lives of the products. The Company capitalized $43,500 and $0
for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively and 
$104,200 and $172,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. Research and development


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
expenses increased 28% from $512,200 for the three months ended September 30,
1995 to $652,900 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 31% from $1.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $1.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in these expenses for each
period resulted principally from the expansion of the engineering staff and
related costs.

Selling, marketing and customer support. Selling, marketing and customer support
expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, marketing programs and
related costs for pre- and post sales activity. These expenses increased 79%
from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $1.9 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 76% from $2.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $5.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. The growth of these expenses were due principally to
increased sales, sales support and marketing personnel and related costs,
commissions associated with increased revenues and increased marketing programs.

        General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of employment-related  costs for finance, administration and human
resources, and general  corporate management and services. These expenses
increased 6% from $387,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to
$411,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 3% from $1.12
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $1.15 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. These expenses represented 17% and 10% of
the total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, and 17% and 11% of total revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The increase in general and
administrative expenses in absolute dollars was the result of growth in the
finance and administrative operations of the Company. The decrease of these
expenses as a percentage of total revenues reflects the benefits of economies
of scale. The Company expects general and administrative expenses to increase
for the remainder of the year in order to support the growth of the Company.

Interest and other income (expense), net. Interest and other income is primarily
composed of interest income from cash and cash equivalents and short term
investments offset by financing charges related to equipment leases and other
debt. Interest and other income (expense), net increased from $400 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 to $25,600 for the three months ended September
30, 1996, and increased from $9,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
to $41,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in dollar
amount is primarily due to higher cash balances resulting from the infusion of
cash from the Company's initial public offering of common stock completed in
September 1996.

Provision for income taxes. From its inception to September 20, 1996, the
Company's taxes were included in the consolidated tax returns of Xerox
Corporation. For reporting purposes, the Company recognized income tax expense
on pretax income at the tax rates in effect as if the Company were filing tax
returns on a stand-alone basis.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The Company's total revenues and operating results can vary, sometimes
substantially, from quarter to quarter and are expected to vary significantly in
the future. The Company's revenues and operating results are difficult to
forecast. Future results will depend upon many factors, including the demand for
the Company's products, the level of product and price competition, the length
of the Company's sales cycle, the size and timing of individual license
transactions, the delay or deferral of customer implementations, the budget
cycles of the Company's customers, the Company's success in expanding its direct
sales force and indirect distribution channels, the timing of new product
introductions and product enhancements by the Company and its competitors, the
mix of products and services sold, levels of international sales, activities of
and acquisitions by competitors, the timing of new hires, changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, the ability of the Company to develop and market new
products and control costs, and general domestic and international economic
conditions. In addition, the Company's sales generally reflect a relatively high
amount of revenues per order, and


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
the loss or delay of individual orders, therefore, could have a significant
impact on revenues and quarterly operating results of the Company. In addition,
a significant amount of the Company's revenues occur predominantly in the third
month of each fiscal quarter and tend to be concentrated in the latter half of
that third month.

The Company's software products generally are shipped as orders are received. As
a result, initial license revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on
orders booked and shipped in that quarter. The timing of receipt of initial
license revenue is difficult to predict because of the length of the Company's
sales cycle, which is typically three to twelve months from the initial contact.
Because the Company's operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue trends
and because a high percentage of the Company's expenses are relatively fixed, a
delay in the recognition of revenue from a limited number of initial license
transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from
quarter to quarter and could result in losses. To the extent such expenses
precede, or are not subsequently followed by, increased revenues, the Company's
operating results would be materially adversely affected.

Due to the foregoing factors, revenues and operating results for any quarter are
subject to significant variation, and the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and
should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In September, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of its
common stock, and received net proceeds of approximately $20.5 million.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $21.6 million at September 30,
1996, representing 76% of total assets. Net cash provided by operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $1.3 million and was
primarily the result of increases in deferred revenue, accrued liabilities and
accounts payable and income from operations offset by increases in accounts
receivable of $1.5 million. The Company intends to invest in short-term,
interest-bearing, investment grade securities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company's investing activities
used cash of $437,100 primarily for computer equipment and fixed assets required
to support the growth of the Company and $104,200 for capitalization of software
development expenses.

The Company's current line of credit allows for borrowings up to $2.5 million at
the bank's prime rate and expires in July 1997. As of September 30, 1996 the
Company had no outstanding borrowings under its line of credit.

With the exception of plans to undertake capital spending to expand the
corporate facilities in the first quarter of 1997, the Company has no
significant capital spending or purchase commitments other than normal purchase
commitments and commitments under facilities and capital leases.

The Company believes that its existing cash balances, anticipated cash flows
from operations and its bank line of credit will be sufficient to meet its
anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least
the next twelve months. A portion of the Company's cash could be used to acquire
or invest in complementary businesses or products or obtain the right to use
complementary technologies. The Company is currently evaluating, in its
ordinary course of business, potential investments such as businesses, products
or technologies. The Company has no current understandings, commitments or
agreements with respect to any acquisition of other businesses, products or
technologies.
