              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.    ORGANIZATION

      ONTRACK Data International, Inc. (the "Company"), a leading provider of
      data availability software and service solutions, helps customers protect,
      manage, recover and discover their valuable data. The Company is
      headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with offices in Los Angeles,
      California; Washington, D.C.; New York, New York; Boulder, Colorado;
      London, England; Stuttgart, Germany and Paris, France.


2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
      have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
      and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
      normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance
      with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
      America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such
      rules and regulations. These financial statements and related notes should
      be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
      included in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for
      the year ended December 31, 1999 contained in the Company's Annual Report
      on Form 10-K for 1999.

      In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect
      adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary
      to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations
      and cash flow for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the
      third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily
      indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

      NET INCOME PER SHARE

      Basic net income per share includes no dilution and is computed by
      dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted
      average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net
      income per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could
      share in the earnings of the Company. The difference between the Company's
      basic and diluted net income per share data as presented is due to the
      dilutive impact from stock options whose exercise price was below the
      average common stock price for the respective period presented.

      COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

      The components of comprehensive income for the third quarter and nine
      months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are foreign currency translation
      adjustments. Comprehensive income is not separately reported, as amounts
      were not significant.

</TABLE>


The decrease in in-lab recovery services for the third quarter of 2000 is due
primarily to a decrease in in-lab recovery volume. The increase in remote
recovery services for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2000, is due primarily to the Company's increased data recovery capabilities
relative to customers' server based storage devices via modem or internet. The
increase in Electronic Information Management (EIM) for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, is due to expanded sales and marketing
activities. Third quarter 1999 EIM revenue includes $1.1 million of revenues
from an EIM project that started in the third quarter and was completed in the
fourth quarter of 1999.

SOFTWARE:

Software revenues for the third quarter of 2000 increased 47% compared to the
third quarter of 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, software
revenues increased 91% compared to the first nine months of 1999. This increase
is principally due to retail software utility product revenues of $2.6 million
and $6.0 million in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively.

GROSS MARGINS

DATA RECOVERY SERVICES AND PRODUCTS:

Gross margins on data recovery services and products revenues for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 were approximately 76% and 77%,
respectively, compared to 76% and 74% for the comparable periods of 1999. The
increase is due to a more favorable mix of new higher margin services;
principally remote data recovery and EIM.

SOFTWARE:

Gross margins on software revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were approximately 72%, compared to 80% and 81%, for the
comparable periods of 1999. As revenues from the Company's retail software
utility products make up a larger portion of software revenues, software gross
margins have declined to their expected level.

OPERATING EXPENSES

SALES AND MARKETING:

Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2000 increased 35%
compared to the third quarter of 1999 and increased 43% in the first nine months
of 2000 compared to the same period of 1999. As a percentage of revenues, sales
and marketing expenses were 28% and 27% for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to 23% and 24% for the
comparable periods of 1999. The increases are due to increased promotion and
marketing activities related to the Company's retail software utility products,
as well as the investments made in the Company's EIM business and in
RapidRecall(TM), the Company's online backup product.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2000 increased 22%
compared to the third quarter of 1999 and increased 39% in the first nine months
of 2000 compared to the same period of 1999. As a percentage of revenues,
research and development expenses were 18% for both the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 17% for both the comparable periods
of 1999. The increases are due primarily to the development of the Company's
software utility products for delivery via an Application Service Provider
(ASP), EIM, and retail software utility products.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE:

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2000 increased 13%
compared to the third quarter of 1999 and increased 22% in the first nine months
of 2000 compared to the first nine months of 1999. As a percentage of revenues,
general and administrative expenses were 17% for both the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 17% and 18% for the comparable
periods of 1999. The increase in dollars is due to building infrastructure
needed to support new products and services.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 60 months.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company provided for taxes at
30.5%, its estimated tax rate for the year. The effective rate is lower than the
statutory rate due to the impact of tax exempt interest income earned on
investments and research and development credits.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

The decrease in basic and diluted net income per share for the third quarter is
due primarily to investments in the EIM business and ASP delivery model, lower
than anticipated Rapid Recall (TM) revenues and unfavorable foreign currency
fluctuations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow from operations before changes in current assets and liabilities
was $7.5 million and $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively. Cash used in investment activities was primarily for the
purchase of furniture and equipment, the final payment for the acquisition of
Mijenix Corporation, and sale of short-term and long-term marketable securities.

The Company has invested its cash principally in high-grade taxable and tax
exempt government securities. As of September 30, 2000, $1.8 million are
classified as long-term, with the remaining $31.4 million classified as cash and
cash equivalents or short-term marketable securities.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information included in this Form 10-Q, in Ontrack's Annual Report, in future
filings with the SEC and in Ontrack's press releases, which uses forward-looking
terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate,"
"estimate," or "continue" or other variations thereon constitutes
forward-looking information. The factors set forth below and other risk factors
described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in Ontrack's Annual Report, in future
filings with the SEC and in Ontrack's press releases constitute cautionary
statements identifying important factors with respect to such forward looking
statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements: (1)
the computer industry is characterized by rapid technological changes and
frequent introductions of new enhanced products and Ontrack must constantly
adapt its data recovery techniques, its data recovery hardware and software
tools and its commercial software products to keep pace with these technological
changes; (2) Ontrack intends to invest in product development, joint ventures,
acquisitions and other projects to enhance its revenues, and there is no
assurance that these projects will yield the desired growth in revenues and
earnings; (3) future technological developments in computer operating systems,
automatic data backup systems and other data protection techniques have the
potential to eliminate or reduce the risk of data loss; (4) Ontrack's software
revenues depend on disk drive shipments by OEM's; trends in the disk drive
industry; and the risks inherent in the retail product markets (including
product returns and changing customer demands), which Ontrack cannot control;
(5)


                                       9
<PAGE>


Ontrack has introduced and intends to introduce new products (such as
RapidRecall(TM)) and there can be no assurance of market acceptance of any such
product; and (6) Ontrack depends to a large degree on its ability to attract and
retain technical personnel.
