                         NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
1.  ORGANIZATION

    ONTRACK Data International, Inc. (the "Company") provides data recovery
    services, utility software and other computer data related services.  The
    Company's headquarters are in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it has locations
    in Los Angeles, California; Washington, DC.; London, England and Stuttgart,
    Germany. 

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The unaudited March 31, 1996 and 1997 financial statements, included
    herein, have been prepared by the Company.  The information furnished in
    the unaudited financial statements includes all adjustments, consisting
    only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management,
    necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. 

    NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 is based on
    weighted average number of shares of common stock and common equivalent
    shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method.

    PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Pro forma net income per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 is
    based on the pro forma weighted average number of shares of common stock
    and common equivalent shares outstanding for the period using the treasury
    stock method.  The pro forma weighted average number of shares includes the
    conversion of the Company's Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock into
    1,500,000 shares of common stock effective January 1, 1996.  Because of the
    significant impact of the conversion on the Company's capital structure and
    earnings per share, historical earnings per share has been excluded from
    the March 31, 1996 income statement.  
    
3.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

    The Company completed an initial public offering of shares of its common
    stock in October, 1996 at a price of $12.00 per share.  Net proceeds to the
    Company from the offering were $23,849,000.

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


COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997

TOTAL REVENUES

Total revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased 46.4% compared to the 
first quarter of 1996.  Of the Company's first quarter 1997 revenues, 
approximately 16.1% were attributable to the Company's European operations, 
compared to 16.1% in the first quarter of 1996.

SERVICES:

Service revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased 40.9% compared to 
the first quarter of 1996.  The increase was due principally to three 
factors: (1) an increase in the number of data recovery jobs performed in the 
United States; (2) additional revenue generated by the Company's Stuttgart, 
Germany office which was opened in November, 1996, and (3) an increase in 
revenue from the Company's Computer Evidence Services which was launched in 
mid-1996.

SOFTWARE: 

Software revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased 66.8% compared to 
the first quarter of 1996.  The increase was due principally to higher sales 
of Disk Manager software to existing hard drive original equipment 
manufacturers (OEM's) through royalty arrangements.  Also contributing to the 
increase were royalty revenues from Seagate Technology Inc.'s ("Seagate") 
DiscWizard software product. DiscWizard is a customized Windows-based hard 
disk drive installation utility which the Company developed and has been 
licensing exclusively to Seagate since the third quarter of 1996.  Because 
software revenues are derived principally from sales through OEM's, they are 
difficult to predict.  The Company does not expect software revenues to 
continue at the volume experienced in the first quarter of 1997.  

GROSS MARGINS 

SERVICES:
 
Gross margins on service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the 
first quarter of 1997 were approximately 84.5%, compared to 86.9% for the 
comparable period of 1996.  The decrease in gross margin percentages in 1997 
was due principally to increased engineering compensation and facility costs. 
Since the first quarter of 1996, the Company has opened a new data recovery 
facility in Stuttgart, Germany and has been adding additional engineering 
staff in its other locations to support the expected growth in its data 
recovery service revenue.

                                       7

<PAGE>

SOFTWARE:

Gross margins on software revenues as a percentage of software sales for the 
first quarter of 1997 were approximately 83.9%, compared to 72.8% for the 
comparable period of 1996.  The increased percentage was due to higher OEM 
royalty sales which involve minimal costs to the Company.  Future gross 
margins in the software business will continue to be impacted by the mix of 
royalty sales and non-royalty sales.

OPERATING EXPENSES

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: 

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 1997 increased 
42.3% compared to the first quarter of 1996.  The increase is due to the 
addition of software developers and data recovery engineers who perform 
research and development activities, as well as increased expenditures on 
development of a new process to provide diagnostic and data recovery services 
on a remote basis. Research and development expenses were 18.4% of revenues 
for the first quarter of 1997 compared to 19.0% of revenues for the 
comparable period of 1996. Research and development expenses, and such 
expenses as a percentage of revenues, may fluctuate in the future as the 
Company identifies and responds to such market opportunities as remote data 
recovery services, or as necessary to respond to new technologies that pose 
challenges in the data recovery business.

SALES AND MARKETING:
 
Sales and marketing expenses increased 18.4% for the first quarter of 1997 
compared to the first quarter of 1996. The increase in sales and marketing 
dollars is due principally to compensation costs associated with generating 
increased revenue.  As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses 
were 22.3% for the first quarter of 1997, compared to 27.6% for the 
comparable period of 1996. The decreased percentage is due principally to two 
factors: (1) the increase in software royalty revenue, which has minimal 
related sales and marketing expenses and (2) certain advertising programs 
which took place in the first quarter of 1996 are scheduled for later 
quarters in 1997. 

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE:

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1997 increased 
107.5% compared to the first quarter of 1996.  As a percentage of revenues, 
general and administrative expenses were 22.4% for the first quarter of 1997 
compared to 15.8% for the comparable period of 1996.  The increases in 
general and administrative dollars and as a percent of revenue are 
principally due to increased compensation and related costs resulting from 
new personnel at manager and executive levels who were added in the second 
quarter of 1996 to support the Company's growth strategy.  Also contributing 
to the increase were costs related to the Stuttgart, Germany office, which 
opened in November, 1996.

                                     8

<PAGE>

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME

The increase in interest and other income is a result of increased cash and 
marketable securities balances, primarily due to the Company's initial public 
offering completed in October, 1996. 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

For the first quarter of 1997, the Company provided for taxes at an effective 
rate of 35.5% compared to 38.1% in the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease 
is due principally to the cash received from the Company's initial public 
offering being invested in tax exempt securities.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share for the first quarter of 1997 increased 20.0% to $0.12 
from $0.10 in the first quarter of 1996.  The increase is due to a 
combination of a 67.1% increase in net income offset by a 29.5% increase in 
weighted average shares outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow from operations was $706,000 and $1.5 million for the first 
quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decrease was due principally to 
a combination of increased first quarter 1997 earnings offset by the timing 
of the payment of certain accrued expenses. 

Cash used in investment activities was primarily for furniture and equipment. 
Additions to furniture and equipment were $404,000 and $757,000 in the first 
quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  

In October, 1996 the Company completed an initial public offering of its 
common stock which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $23.8 million.  
Pending use, the Company has invested the net proceeds in tax exempt 
government securities, $8.3 million of which are classified as long-term, 
with the remaining proceeds classified as cash or cash equivalents.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Please refer to the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the 1996 
Annual Report to Shareholders, incorporated by reference into the Company's 
Form 10-KSB report for the year ended December 31, 1996, for cautionary 
statements on important factors to consider in evaluating the forward-looking 
statements included in this Form 10-QSB.
