Note A-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, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Certain amounts for 1997 have been reclassified to conform
with the 1998 presentation. The information included in this 10-Q should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto,
together with management's discussion and analysis included in the Company's
1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

Note B-Transactions with Affiliates

Document Sciences Corporation (the "Company") has a strategic marketing alliance
with Xerox Corporation (Xerox) under which the parties have agreed to pay each

<PAGE>   7
with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share,
basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and
convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share, which includes the dilutive
effects of options, warrants and convertible securities, is very similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share
amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to
conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

The following table reconciles the shares used in computing basic and diluted
earnings per share for the periods indicated:

REVENUES

Total revenues increased 24.6% to $5.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
increased 20.2% to $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from
$8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This growth was due
primarily to the increases in revenues from initial license fees, and increases
in annual renewal and support fees, which are due in part to the installed
customer base acquired from Data Retrieval in May 1997.

Sales Channels. 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 54.5% to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased
20.7% to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $2.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This growth was principally due to a
more established and experienced VAR channel in Europe. Revenues from export
sales were 30% and 25% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, and 29% and 29% of total revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

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 80.7% to
$1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $630,300 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased 52.9% to $2.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. These increases are due principally to substantially increased sales
through Xerox Canada Ltd. and European revenues from Xerox affiliates.

Initial license fees. Initial license fee revenues increased 48.0% to $2.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $1.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased 14.3% to $4.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. The increase for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 when compared
to same period in 


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
1997 was due principally to sales to new customers reflecting in part the
expansion of the direct sales force and expansion of the Company's indirect
distribution channel. For the comparative six month period, initial license fees
have declined slightly as a percentage of total revenue due to increased
customer demand for consulting services and a significant increase in annual
renewal license and support fees.

Annual renewal license and support fees. Revenues from annual renewal license
and support fees increased 20.1% to $1.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
increased 46.0% to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from
$2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was
principally due to the acquisition of Data Retrieval's installed base of users.

Services and other. Revenues from services and other remained at $1.6 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1998, and increased 10.5% to $3.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $3.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The increase for the six month period ended June 30, 1998
when compared to the same period in 1997 was due to consulting services
representing a larger component of new customer orders.

Cost of Revenues

Total cost of revenues increased 32.4% to $1.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
and increased 49.3% to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from
$2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in cost of
revenues resulted primarily from increased personnel costs associated with
providing additional professional consulting services to customers.

Operating Expenses

Research and development. The Company capitalized $256,000 and $210,400 of
software costs for the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and $545,700 and $210,400 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any software costs for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. Research and development expenses
increased 25.3% to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from
$801,300 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased 29.2% to $1.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $1.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in these expenses resulted principally
from the expansion of the engineering staff and related costs.

Selling, marketing and customer support. Selling, marketing and customer support
expenses increased 37.2% to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased
28.6% to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $4.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The growth of these expenses was due
principally to increased sales, sales support and marketing personnel and
related costs and commissions associated with increased revenues.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 8.6%
to $620,900 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $679,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and increased 61.3% to $2.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six
month period was primarily the result of one-time charges of $459,000 for
severance and recruiting costs taken in the first quarter and increased
personnel related and general corporate expenditures.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
Provision for (benefit of) income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 1998,
the Company has recognized a tax benefit as a result of the net operating loss
and non-taxable municipal bond interest.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $18.8
million at June 30, 1998, representing 56.8% of total assets. The Company
intends to continue to invest in short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade
securities.

The Company believes that its existing cash balances and anticipated cash flows
from operations will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for
working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

The Company has no significant capital spending or purchase commitments other
than normal purchase commitments and commitments under facilities and capital
leases for the remainder of the year.

In September 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of its
common stock. In October 1996, the Underwriters of the offering exercised their
over allotment option. The net proceeds received by the Company from the
offering were approximately $23.3 million. The Company thus far used the
proceeds from the offering as follows:

        (i)     Approximately $1,380,000 was used to pay income taxes to Xerox
                Corporation.

        (ii)    Approximately $507,000 was used to purchase certain assets of
                Data Retrieval Corporation of America.

        (iii)   Approximately $2,000,000 has been used for general working
                capital purposes.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The Company's total revenues and operating results have varied, 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 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 the recording 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 customer contact. 


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
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.

Marketing alliances with Xerox have contributed a substantial portion of the
Company's income from operations and net income for certain prior operating
periods, have had a high degree of inconsistency from quarter to quarter and are
difficult to estimate. Failure to continue to receive such commissions would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. Although neither Xerox nor its affiliated entities has
expressed to the Company any intention to terminate their respective agreements
with the Company, these agreements generally may be terminated on no more than
90 days notice. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Xerox or its
affiliates will continue these relationships or, if they do, that they will be
on terms favorable to the Company. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that
existing and potential customers will not be deterred by the existence of these
relationships or by the historical ties between the Company and Xerox and its
affiliates. Though the Company intends to continue its existing relationships
with Xerox, the Company's strategy is to lessen its dependence on Xerox.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so and,
because of the Company's current level of dependence on Xerox, there can be no
assurance that the Company's transition to a more independent company will not
maintain these relationships, particularly with Xerox and its affiliates, or to
establish new relationships in the future, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

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.

The Company is continuing to assess the potential impact of Year 2000 software
and operational compliance issues on its business and the related expenses of
remedying such impact. The Company is utilizing internal resources to identify,
modify or reprogram, and perform extensive testing on its systems, in connection
with the Year 2000 issue. The Company expects to have all necessary changes
implemented by 2000. The cost of the Year 2000 initiatives is not expected to be
material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.
