                                    PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

     Notify Technology Corporation (the "Company", also referred to as "we",
"us" and "our" unless the context otherwise requires), was incorporated in the
State of California in August 1994. We are engaged in the development,
manufacture, marketing and sale of computer telephony products for the business,
Small Office Home Office ("SOHO") and residential marketplaces. In recent years,
the number of individuals and businesses relying on their telephone company
service provider to provide them with services such as voice mail, caller-id and
Centrex, a business-oriented service that eliminates the need for on-premise
telephone switching equipment, has increased dramatically. Our products are
designed to enhance the convenience and utility of these services by providing
customers with features that are either not available or not included in
standard service packages.  Our Call Manager products incorporate caller-id,
Call Waiting caller-id, and Voice Mail MessageAlert features.  Our Centrex
Receptionist product gives business and SOHO customers a cost-effective means of
ensuring that incoming calls are properly routed even when a human attendant is
not available.  Our newly announced eLight and eView products provide users with
e-mail notification without the necessity of logging into their mailbox.  Also,
our MessageAlert product increases the timeliness and ease of message retrieval
for voice mail subscribers by providing a visual indication that a message has
been received.

PRODUCTS

Call Manager

     We announced the Call Manager family of caller-id products in January 1999
and began shipping in April 1999. Our caller-id products incorporate the
MessageAlert visual message waiting indication technology and support for
combinations of telephone company services such as voice mail, caller-id, call
waiting caller-id and deluxe call waiting. Caller-id products are categorized as
either "Type I" (calling name and calling number only); "Type II" (Type I
features plus call waiting caller-id) or "Type II.5" (Type II plus deluxe call
waiting).  Type II and Type II.5 products support the more sophisticated
services offered by telephone service providers than the "Type I" products more
commonly on the market.  Our Call Manager line of products include all three
types and are designed to support bundling of services offered by the telephone
service provider giving more functionality to the end user and more revenue
opportunity for the telephone service provider.

Centrex Receptionist

     Small businesses that use Centrex services generally must maintain a human
attendant to answer incoming calls, or the calls will go unanswered or be
transferred into the business' general voice mail mailbox. The Centrex
Receptionist is a stand-alone unit that provides the Centrex customer with
automatic call answer and transfer capability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The
Centrex Receptionist provides thirty minutes of recorded announcement time,
special after hours or holiday announcements, and nine main menu items. Each
main menu item supports nine selections that can be either a transfer to a
telephone number or an announcement. The Centrex Receptionist also provides
extension dialing, name directory services and call statistics. The unit has a
battery back-up on its programming that will last up to three days. The Centrex
Receptionist is remotely configured by Notify Technology Customer Service but
locally programmable by the user for voice mail messages and voice name
directories using a touch tone telephone. It has password protection for all
administrative programming. The current Centex Receptionist product line has
models to support either two or four incoming Centrex lines.

Visual Got Mail

     The eView and eLight are the Company's two newest products.  The eView and
eLight are part of a Visual Got Mail service that incorporates the use of
proprietary server technology.  The service is designed to eliminate
residential, SOHO and business e-mail subscribers' frustration with the
traditional, inconvenient process of checking for e-mail.  The Visual Gotmail
technology, designed for telephone company deployment as a service offering,
includes a scalable carrier class server infrastructure, hosted by Notify
Technology or the telephone company, and a line of telephone adjunct products
for use by subscribers.  While the eLight is a dedicated e-mail notification
product that notifies users of the presence of e-

                                      I-2
<PAGE>

mail through the use of a blinking red light, the eView is a caller-id product
that also incorporates the advanced e-mail notification feature of displaying
the header information of the first ten e-mails in the user's mailbox(s).

MessageAlert

     The MessageAlert is a visual indicator for telephone company provided voice
mail (a "voice message waiting indicator", or "VMWI"). Telephone companies
typically use one of two signaling standards to alert voice mail subscribers
that they have a message waiting: stutter dial tone signaling and "CLASS"
signaling, which enables detection of a voice mail message without taking the
line off-hook.

The MessageAlert is a mature product that has limited demand.  Although still in
our active product line, the MessageAlert is expected to have limited sales as
it is no longer a featured product in our sales plan.  We have been granted a
patent on the MultiSense Technology incorporated in it that enables it to work
with both signaling standards. This technology has been incorporated into the
Call Manager product series and will be included in many of our other products.

SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

     The sales activities for our products have been focused on direct sales to
large telephone companies. Our products are being either private labeled or
joint marketed by GTE Communication Systems Corporation, Pacific Bell,
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, BellSouth Corporation, Ameritech
Corporation, Century Telephone Enterprises Inc. and Commonwealth Telephone
Company.  Except with respect to Pacific Bell, Southwestern Bell and Ameritech
Corporation, our relationship with these companies has not been reduced to a
formal agreement or contract and none of these companies is obligated to
purchase any product from us. We manufacture product based on purchase orders
and forecasts of purchases received from Regional Bell Operating Companies
("RBOCs") and Local Exchange Carriers ("LECs"). We believe large telephone
companies typically do business in this manner and we do not intend to seek
long-term contractual commitments from our telephone company customers.We sell
products in the United States primarily to regional bell operating companies and
local exchange carriers.  Two products accounted for 41% and 34% of total
revenues in fiscal 1999.  Another product accounted for 81% of total revenue in
fiscal 1998.  Significant portions of our revenue have been concentrated in a
small number of customers although not necessarily the same customers each year.
For example, two customers accounted for 55% and 11% of sales for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1999, and two customers accounted for 50% and 17% of
sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.  One of these customers had
significant sales in both years.

     We are marketing the Centrex Receptionist to the same group of large
telephone companies we have targeted for the Call Manager, eView and
MessageAlert products. We have entered into contracts with three major telephone
companies to sell our Centrex Receptionist through their ongoing Customer
Premise Equipment (CPE) channels. We believe that we have established ourselves
as a qualified supplier or joint marketing partner with respect to the Centrex
Receptionist.

     We intend to distribute our products through or in conjunction with the
large domestic telephone companies and certain of their authorized resellers. To
date, we have sold our products to five of the seven Regional Bell Operating
Companies and twelve of the 20 largest local exchange carriers. Our strategy is
to encourage these telephone companies to bundle our products with their
services as both a consumer acquisition tool and in order to increase retention
of new service subscribers. In addition, we intend to encourage telephone
companies and their authorized resellers that focus on selling Centrex services
to also market our Centrex Receptionist as an enhancement to the basic Centrex
service. We believe that the relationships with telephone companies we have
formed as a result of marketing the MessageAlert, Call Manager and Centrex
Receptionist product lines, will aid us in developing the telephone companies as
a distribution channel for the new Visual Got Mail product line.

     The Visual GotMail product line will derive revenue from both sales of
adjunct equipment and supplying ongoing Visual Gotmail services to users.
Service revenue may be direct through our own service centers or indirect
through customer owned and maintained service centers. Our technology is
proprietary and only our adjunct products will interface with the server
centers. We have also announced plans for an online store to supply product
and Got Mail services directly to the consumer market. This channel will
provide a direct link to the users of Visual Got Mail service and supply first
hand feedback about the quality of our products and services.

                                      I-3
<PAGE>

TECHNICAL AND MARKETING SUPPORT

     We have developed product collateral and marketing programs for the Centrex
Receptionist, Call Manager and MessageAlert products. We intend to expand our
ongoing marketing programs to include the new Visual GotMail products. These
marketing programs will include augmentation of collateral material, advertising
and trade shows supplemented with public relations campaigns.

     We provide back-up technical support to large telephone companies and
resellers of all of our products. Our support organization for the Centrex
Receptionist provides both sales and technical support. Sales support consists
of sales and marketing training at our home office training facility for our own
sales force and those of authorized resellers. The Centrex Receptionist requires
ongoing remote modem support on a billable service arrangement by the our
customer service group whenever the user wants to add lines, make directory
changes and perform system back ups.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     We incurred $1,361,792 and $1,376,767 in research and development expenses
in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. We utilize both internal engineering
resources and contract engineering resources for our research and development.
We believe that our future success, if any, depends significantly on our ability
to continue to enhance our existing products and to develop new products and we
intend to continue to incur substantial research and development costs. We
expect that our research and development efforts will be focused in three areas:
further development of the Company's Visual Got Mail products and technology;
cost reduction of the Call Manager product line; and the incorporation of our
technology into complimentary products.

MANUFACTURING

     We use offshore turnkey manufacturing for our production. To the extent
possible, we use standard parts and components for our products although certain
components are custom designed and/or are available only from a single source or
limited sources.  We have established a relationship with an offshore
manufacturer to design and build low cost Type I caller-id units that we resell
as part of our Call Manager product line.  We use a separate manufacturer to
build our Call Manager and Visual Got Mail product lines.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS

     Our products must comply with a variety of regulations and standards
including regulations and standards set by the Federal Communications
Commission, Underwriters Laboratories, National Registered Testing Laboratories,
and Bell Communications Research. As we enter international markets, we will be
required to comply with whatever governmental regulations and industry standards
exist in those markets. In addition, the U.S. telecommunications market is
evolving rapidly in part due to recently enacted laws revamping the
telecommunications regulatory structure. Additional legislative or regulatory
changes are possible. A failure by us to comply with existing regulations and
standards or to adapt to new regulations and standards could have a material
adverse effect on our business and operating results.

COMPETITION

     We currently have several direct competitors in the market for caller-id
units. CIDCO Incorporated, TT Systems, Astra Telecom of Canada and Thompson
Consumer Inc. produce Type I and Type II caller-id products and have been
selling their products for a number of years into the marketplace.  Since we
have more recently entered this marketplace, our products rely on increased or
unique functionality to gain market share.  We have also had to use aggressive
pricing in some cases to deploy sufficient quantities of product to establish
adequate reliability statistics to qualify for larger programs with our
telephone company customers.  We believe that our Call Manager products compete
favorably with respect to other caller-id products currently being offered on
the market.

     Certain manufacturers of caller-id products have greater financial,
technical and marketing resources than we do. In addition, there are several
companies with substantially greater technical, financial and marketing
resources than we do that could produce competing products.

                                      I-4
<PAGE>

     We have one direct competitor in the market for Centrex auto-attendant
products. SoloPoint, Inc. produces both a model A200 and model A400 auto-
attendant product.  Solopoint's products lack many of the features found in our
Centrex Receptionist product such as: three levels of menus, 30 minute of voice
recording, a 200 entry name directory and several call statistics reports.  To
our knowledge, Solopoint has failed to attract any major RBOC's to distribute
their product.  Currently, we have two major RBOC's with signed agreements
selling our Centrex Receptionist product line with other RBOC's evaluating the
product. The Company believes competition in the auto-attendant market is based
on features (including ease of use, availability of a name directory, amount of
recording time and number of menu levels), price and quality. The Company
believes it competes favorably with respect to all of these factors.

     We do not currently have any direct competition for our Visual GotMail
technology.  There are several indirect competitors that include Landel Telecom
and CIDCO Incorporated.  These companies produce products that provide e-mail
notification as well as limited e-mail access.  All of these products require a
relatively expensive device that consists of a multi-line character display and
a keyboard.  We believe our Visual GotMail technology competes favorably with
respect to any of these indirectly competing products.

Our MessageAlert product has several direct competitors in the Voice Mail
Waiting Indication (VMWI) marketplace.  Comsumerware Inc. produces a product
called Voice Mail Lite and Solopoint Inc. produces a S25 Message Waiting Light.
Both of these products provide stutter dial tone and FSK message waiting
indication.  We believe our MessageAlert 300 product competes favorably with
respect to either of these competitive products.

     We expect that to the extent that the market for any of our products
develops, competition will intensify and new competitors will enter the market.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against
existing and new competitors as the market for our products evolves and the
level of competition increases. A failure to compete successfully against
existing and new competitors would have a materially adverse effect upon our
business and results of operations.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

     We rely on a combination of patent and trade secret law, nondisclosure
agreements and technical measures to establish and protect our proprietary
rights in our products. We have a design patent issued on the MessageAlert
design. The MessageAlert design is unique in that it provides a visual message
waiting indicator light packaged in the form of a 3M Post- it(R) Note holder. In
addition, we were granted a patent in October 1998 relating to the MultiSense
technology used in the MessageAlert product. Our MultiSense technology
automatically detects and reacts to either stutter or CLASS signaling. We also
have patents pending on our Visual Got Mail technology and other technology
under development.  We intend to continue to apply for patents, as appropriate,
for our future technologies and products.

     There are few barriers to entry into the market for our products, and there
can be no assurance that any patents applied for by us will be granted or that
the scope of the our patent, or any patents granted in the future, will be broad
enough to protect against the use of similar technologies by the our
competitors. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of our competitors,
some of whom have far greater resources than us, will not independently develop
technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

     We may be involved from time to time in litigation to determine the
enforceability, scope and validity of any of our proprietary rights or of third
parties asserting infringement claims against the us. Any such litigation could
result in substantial cost to us and diversion of efforts by our management and
technical personnel.

     We have entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with Active Voice
Corporation ("Active Voice") pursuant to which we have paid an up-front fee on
sales of our MessageAlert product in exchange for certain rights with respect to
a patent issued to Active Voice covering stutter dial tone detection.  We have
also entered into an agreement with Uniden America Corporation allowing Uniden
to incorporate our VMWI technology into Uniden's Products.

EMPLOYEES

                                      I-5
<PAGE>

     As of September 30, 1999, we employed twenty-six persons of whom eight were
engaged in research and development, two in operations, twelve in sales,
marketing, and customer support, and four in general administration and finance.
We contemplate increasing our staff at a pace consistent with our business and
growth. None of our employees are currently represented by a labor union. We
consider our relations with our employees to be good.

     Our success, if any, will be dependent on our ability to attract and retain
highly skilled technical personnel as well as marketing and sales personnel. If
we were unable to hire the necessary personnel, the development of new products
and enhancements to current products would likely be delayed or prevented.
Competition for highly skilled technical, managerial, sales, and marketing
personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
retaining our key personnel and in attracting and retaining the personnel we
require for expansion.

RISK FACTORS

     Limited Operating History; History of Losses; Working Capital; Anticipation
of Negative Cash Flow; No Assurance of Future Profitability. We commenced
operations in August 1994 and through January 1996 were engaged primarily in
research and development. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998, 1997
and 1996, we incurred net losses of $2,617,561, $1,382,910 and $1,657,219,
respectively. We incurred a net loss of $3,123,284 for fiscal 1999 and as of
September 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $9,207,036 and working
capital of $2,524,670. We anticipate having a negative cash flow from operating
activities in future quarters and years. We also expect to incur further
operating losses in future quarters and years and until such time, if ever, as
there is a substantial increase in orders for the our products and product sales
generate sufficient revenue to fund its continuing operations. There can be no
assurance that sales of our products will ever generate significant revenue,
that we will ever generate positive cash flow from our operations or that we
will attain or thereafter sustain profitability in any future period. See "--
Sales, Marketing and Distribution."

     Liquidity and Capital Resources. At September 30, 1999, we had an
accumulated deficit of $9.2 million and incurred a net loss of $3.1 million
for the year ended September 30,1999. Our recently developed products will
need to attain favorable market acceptance to continue our research and
development activities and fund operating expenses at current levels. We
believe that sufficient funds will be available from cash, cash equivalents,
and operating activities to support the current level of operations through
September 30, 2000. There can be no assurance that our new products will
attain favorable market acceptance. If we are unable to attain our revenue
goals, significant reductions in spending and the delay or cancellation of
planned activities or more substantial restructuring of the Company may be
necessary. In such an event, we intend to implement expense reduction plans in
a timely manner to enable us to meet our cash requirements through at least
September 30, 2000. These actions would have material adverse effects on our
business, results of operations, and prospects.

     Possible Fluctuations in Quarterly Results. We anticipate that we may
experience significant fluctuations in operating results in the future.
Fluctuations in operating results may result in volatility in the price of our
securities. Operating results may fluctuate as a result of many factors,
including our level of research and development and sales and marketing
activities, announcements by us and our competitors, volume and timing of orders
received, if any, during the period, the timing of commercial introduction of
future products and enhancements or competitive products and the impact of price
competition on our average selling prices. Almost all of these factors are
beyond our control.

     Notwithstanding the difficulty in forecasting future sales, we generally
must undertake research and development and sales and marketing activities and
other commitments months or years in advance. Accordingly, any shortfall in
product revenues in a given quarter may materially adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations due to the inability to adjust
expenses during the quarter to match the level of product revenues, if any, for
the quarter. Due to these and other factors, we believe that quarter to quarter
comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and
should not be relied upon as indications of the future performance.

     Uncertainty of Product Acceptance. We sold our first MessageAlert in
January 1996, the first Auto Attendant in December 1996, the first Centrex
Receptionist in March 1998 and the first Call Manager product in April 1999. We
also announced the first sales of the new Visual Got Mail products into trial
programs in November 1999.  To date, we have received only limited revenue from
the sale of these products. While we believe that our products are commercially
viable, developing products for the consumer and business marketplaces is
inherently difficult and uncertain. We do not believe our sales to date are
sufficient to determine whether or not there is meaningful consumer or business
demand for our products.

                                      I-6
<PAGE>

We intend to devote significant resources to sales and marketing efforts and to
promote consumer and business interest in our products. There can be no
assurance that such efforts will be successful or that significant market demand
for our products will ever develop.

     Dependence on Limited Number of Potential Customers; Need to Develop
Marketing Channels. We believe our success, if any, will be largely dependent on
our ability to either sell our products to, or enter into joint marketing
arrangements with, the seven Regional Bell Operating Companies and approximately
20 large Local Exchange Carriers in the United States. In particular, we believe
that our Call Manager and Centrex Receptionist products can be sold profitably
only if it is sold to or in conjunction with the RBOCs and LECs. We also expect
to rely significantly on the RBOCs and LECs as a channel for our initial sales
of our Visual Got Mail product. To date, we have sold our products to five RBOCs
and twelve LECs. Qualifying our product and developing the marketing
relationships necessary to make these sales took substantially longer than we
originally anticipated. RBOCs and LECs tend to be hierarchical organizations
characterized by distributed decision- making authority and an institutional
reluctance to take risks. Selling a product to or entering into a marketing
relationship with an RBOC or LEC is generally a lengthy process requiring
multiple meetings with numerous people in the organization. A failure on our
part to maintain significantly enhanced relationships with the RBOCs and LECs
would have a materially adverse effect on our business and operating results.

     We sell products in the United States primarily to regional bell operating
companies and local exchange carriers.  Two products accounted for 41% and 34%
of total revenues in fiscal 1999.  Another product accounted for 81% of total
revenue in fiscal 1998.  .  Significant portions of our revenue have been
concentrated in a small number of customers although not necessarily the same
customers each year.  For example, two customers accounted for 55% and 11% of
sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, and two customers accounted
for 50% and 17% of sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.  One of
these customers had significant sales in both years.

     The Company also intends to develop other distribution channels for its
products including certain Competitive Local Exchange Carriers ("CLECs"), direct
sales via an internet store and potential development of ISP channels.
Development of these channels will require the expenditure of time and effort by
our management. Because our marketing efforts have been largely focused on the
RBOCs and LECs, our management has had only limited experience in selling our
products through these channels. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to implement such a marketing and distribution program or that any marketing
efforts undertaken by or on behalf of the Company will be successful.

     Risk of Product Defects. Our products incorporate a combination of
reasonably sophisticated computer chip design, electric circuit design, software
programming and telephony technology. We have devoted substantial resources to
researching and developing each of these elements. In order to reduce the
manufacturing costs, expand the feature sets and otherwise enhance the operation
of our products, we have from time to time redesigned our products. We expect
that in the future we will engage in similar redesigns of our products. In
addition, we are in the process of developing new, similarly complex products.
Though we extensively tests our products before marketing them, any new,
redesigned or current product may contain design flaws that are undetected by
our testing procedures.  In addition, we rely on subcontractors to manufacture
our products. Though we have quality control procedures designed to detect
manufacturing errors, there can be no assurance that we will identify all
defective products. We believe that reliable operation will be an important
purchase consideration for both our consumer and business customers. A failure
by us to detect and prevent a design flaw or a widespread product defect could
materially adversely affect the sales of the affected product and our other
products and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and
operating results.

     Competition. We believe the market for our products is highly competitive
and that competition is likely to intensify.  We have several direct competitors
in the market for caller-id units. CIDCO Incorporated, TT Systems, Astra Telecom
of Canada and Thompson Consumer Inc. produce Type I and Type II caller-id
products and have been selling their products for a number of years into the
marketplace.  Certain of these companies have greater financial, technical and
marketing resources than we do. In addition, there are several companies with
substantially greater technical, financial and marketing resources than we do
that could produce competing products.

     We have one direct competitor in the market for Centrex auto-attendant
products. SoloPoint, Inc. produces both a model A200 and model A400 auto-
attendant product but their products lack many of the features found in our
Centrex Receptionist.

                                      I-7
<PAGE>

     We do not currently have any direct competition for our Visual GotMail
technology.  There are several indirect competitors that include Landel Telecom
and CIDCO Incorporated.  These companies produce products that provide e-mail
notification as well as limited e-mail access.  All of these products require a
relatively expensive device that consists of a multi-line character display and
a keyboard.

     Our MessageAlert product has several direct competitors in the Voice Mail
Waiting Indication (VMWI) marketplace.  Comsumerware Inc. produces a product
called Voice Mail Lite and Solopoint Inc. produces a S25 Message Waiting Light.
Both of these products provide stutter dial tone and FSK message waiting
indication.

     We expect that to the extent that the market for our products develops,
competition will intensify and new competitors will enter the market. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against existing
and new competitors as the market for our products evolves and the level of
competition increases. A failure to compete successfully against existing and
new competitors would have a materially adverse effect upon our business and
results of operations.

     Dependence on Key Personnel. Our success depends to a significant extent
upon certain key management employees, including our Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Paul F. DePond, our Vice President of Operations,
Gaylan Larson and our Chief Financial Officer, Gerald W. Rice. We have obtained
three-year key-man term life insurance on Mr. DePond in the amount of $2,000,000
and have entered into employment agreements with him along with Mr. Larson and
Mr. Rice. The loss of their services or those of any of our other key employees
would have a materially adverse effect on us. Our success, if any, will also be
dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical
personnel as well as marketing and sales personnel. If we were unable to hire
the necessary personnel, the development of new products and enhancements to
current products would likely be delayed or prevented. Competition for highly-
skilled technical, managerial, sales, and marketing personnel is intense. There
can be no assurance that we will be successful in retaining our key personnel
and in attracting and retaining the personnel we requires for expansion.

     Risks of Limited Protection for Our Intellectual Property and Proprietary
Rights and Infringement of Third Parties' Rights. We regard various features and
design aspects of our products as proprietary and rely primarily on a
combination of patent and trademark laws and employee and third-party
nondisclosure agreements to protect our proprietary rights. We have been issued
a patent covering the design of our MessageAlert products, and a patent covering
the MultiSense technology used in our MessageAlert product. We have also applied
for patents on our Visual Got Mail technology.  We intend to continue to apply
for patents, as appropriate, for our future technologies and products. There are
few barriers to entry into the market for our products, and there can be no
assurance that any patents we apply for will be granted or that the scope of our
patent or any patents granted in the future will be broad enough to protect us
against the use of similar technologies by the our competitors. There can be no
assurance, therefore, that any of our competitors, some of whom have far greater
resources than we do, will not independently develop technologies that are
substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. See "--Competition."

     We may be involved from time to time in litigation to determine the
enforceability, scope and validity of any of our proprietary rights or of third
parties asserting infringement claims against us. Any such litigation could
result in substantial cost to us and diversion of efforts by our management and
technical personnel. See "-- Proprietary Rights."

     Dependence on Single Supplier; No Contracts or Agreements. Certain key
components used in our products are currently available only from single or
limited sources. We do not have long term supply contracts with these or any
other component vendors and purchase all of our components on a purchase order
basis. No assurance can be given that component shortages will not occur or that
we will be able to obtain the components we need in a timely manner and on a
commercially reasonable basis. In particular, the microcontroller that forms the
core of our Call Manager and Visual Got Mail products is manufactured only by
Epson Electronics America, Inc. From time to time, the semiconductor industry
has experienced extreme supply constraints. An inability for us to obtain
sufficient quantities of microcontrollers from Epson Electronics America, Inc.
would have a materially adverse effect on our business and operating results.

     We utilize offshore manufactures to manufacture our products and there can
be no assurance that these manufacturers will be able to support our
manufacturing requirements. An inability to obtain sufficient quantities of

                                      I-8
<PAGE>

sole-source components or product, or to develop alternative sources as required
in the future, could result in delays or reductions in product shipments or
could force us to redesign our products, either of which could materially
adversely effect our business and operating results.

     Compliance with Government Regulations and Industry Standards. Our products
must comply with a variety of regulations and standards including regulations
and standards set by the Federal Communications Commission, Underwriters
Laboratories, National Registered Testing Laboratories, and Bell Communications
Research. As we enter international markets we will be required to comply with
whatever governmental regulations and industry standards exist in those markets.
In addition, the U.S. telecommunications market is evolving rapidly in part due
to recently enacted laws revamping the telecommunications regulatory structure.
Additional legislative or regulatory changes are possible. A failure by us to
comply with existing regulations and standards or to adapt to new regulations
and standards could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating
results.

     Risks Associated with Planned Growth. We plan to expand our operations
during fiscal year 2000, which could place a strain on our limited personnel,
financial, management and other resources. In order to manage our planned
growth, we will need to maintain our product development program and expand our
sales and marketing capabilities and personnel. In addition, we will need to
adapt our financial planning, accounting systems and management structure to
accommodate such growth if it occurs. A failure by us to properly anticipate or
manage our growth, if any, could adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.

     Shares Available for Future Sale; Registration Rights. Future sales of
Common Stock by existing shareholders pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or otherwise, could have an
adverse effect on the price of our securities. Per an agreement entered into in
connection with a 1997 bridge financing (the "Bridge Financing", and the
warrants issued in connection therewith, the "Bridge Warrants").  This one-year
restriction has now expired and we have filed a registration statement on Form
SB-2 to register the 425,000 Bridge Warrants issued in the Bridge financing.  Of
the 425,000 Bridge Warrants, 257,450 warrants were sold into the general
securities market as of September 30, 1999.  The holders of options to purchase
160,000 Units at a price per Unit of $7.00 (the "Unit Purchase Option") have
certain demand and "piggy-back" registration rights covering its securities. In
connection with the sale to David Brewer of 850,000 shares of Common Stock and
warrants to purchase 1,344,444 shares of Common Stock, we granted Mr. Brewer
certain demand registration rights with respect to such shares.  The exercise of
any such rights could involve substantial expense to the Company. Sales of
Common Stock or the possibility of such sales, in the public market may
adversely affect the market price of the Company's securities.

     Effect of Outstanding Options and Warrants. We have outstanding 1,600,000
Warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock for $6.50 per share
(subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). In addition, we have
outstanding 425,000 Bridge Warrants to purchase 425,000 shares of Common Stock,
the Unit Purchase Option to purchase an aggregate of 320,000 shares of Common
Stock assuming exercise of the underlying warrants, additional warrants to
purchase 205,510 shares of Common Stock and 190,948 shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the Company's 1997 Stock Plan, under which 123,760
options were outstanding as of September 30, 1999, subject to vesting
requirements. In March 1998, we issued David Brewer warrants to purchase
1,344,444 shares of Common Stock of which warrants to purchase 1,032,844 shares
of Common Stock are still outstanding.  Holders of such options and warrants may
exercise them at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain additional
equity capital on terms more favorable to us. Moreover, while these options and
warrants are outstanding, our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms may
be adversely affected.

     Possible Volatility of Stock Price. We believe factors such as quarterly
fluctuations in financial results and announcements of new technology or
products or regulatory developments in the telephone industry may cause the
market price of our securities to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. These
fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions, such as recessions or high
interest rates, may adversely affect the market price of our securities.

     Possible Delisting of Securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market. While the
Company's Units, Common Stock and Warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the
criteria for continued listing. Such requirements are (i) either at least
$2,000,000 in tangible assets, a $35,000,000 market capitalization or net income
of at least $500,000 in two of the three prior years, (ii) at least 500,000
shares in the public float

                                      I-9
<PAGE>

valued at $1,000,000 or more, (iii) a minimum Common Stock bid price of $1.00,
(iv) at least two active market makers, and (v) at least 300 holders of the
Common Stock. For a period late in fiscal year 1998, the bid price for our
Common Stock fell below $1.00. While the bid price has since risen above $1.00,
if we are unable to satisfy Nasdaq's maintenance requirements, our securities
may be delisted from Nasdaq. In such event, trading, if any, in the Units,
Common Stock and Warrants would thereafter be conducted in the over-the- counter
market in the so-called "pink sheets" or the NASD's "Electronic Bulletin Board."
Consequently, the liquidity of our securities could be impaired, not only in the
number of securities which could be bought and sold, but also through delays in
the timing of transactions and lower prices for our securities than might
otherwise be attained.

     Risk of Low-Price ("Penny") Stocks. If our securities were to be delisted
from Nasdaq, they could become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which imposes additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers which sell such securities to
persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally,
individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by
this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the
purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction
prior to sale. Consequently, the rule may adversely affect the ability of
broker-dealers to sell our securities.

     Commission regulations define a "penny stock" to be any non-Nasdaq equity
security that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per
share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a
disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market. Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both
the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for
the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing
recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information
on the limited market in penny stocks.

     The foregoing penny stock restrictions will not apply to our securities if
such securities are listed on Nasdaq and have certain price and volume
information provided on a current and continuing basis or if we meet certain
minimum net tangible assets or average revenue criteria. There can be no
assurance that our securities will qualify for exemption from these
restrictions. In any event, even if our securities were exempt from such
restrictions, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act,
which gives the Commission the authority to prohibit any person that is engaged
in unlawful conduct while participating in a distribution of a penny stock from
associating with a broker-dealer or participating in a distribution of a penny
stock, if the Commission finds that such a restriction would be in the public
interest. If our securities were subject to the rules on penny stocks, the
market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

     Our principal executive offices are located at 1054 South DeAnza Boulevard,
Suite 105, San Jose, California 95129. The facilities consist of approximately
4,982 square feet of office space pursuant to a lease that expires March 31,
2001. We will both renew our lease and acquire more space if available or enter
into a lease for new premises in the local area.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company is not a party to any litigation.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

     No matters were submitted to a vote by security holders during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Shareholders. As of December 21, 1999, there were approximately 73 holders
of record of our Common Stock and Class A Warrants.

     Dividends. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common
Stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain all future earnings for the
expansion and operation of its business and do not anticipate paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.

     2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

     In March 1999, we sold to David Brewer 850,000 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 1,344,444 shares of common stock for an aggregate
consideration of $3,043,360.  The warrants consisted of four warrants to
purchase 155,800 shares of common stock at $3.60 per share and one warrant to
purchase 721,244 shares of common stock at $3.60 per share.  Each of the four
warrants originally expired upon the earlier of September 3, 2000 or 30 days
after we meet certain product sales or revenue milestones.  On October 13, 1999,
David Brewer executed two of the warrants for a total of 311,600 shares of
common stock and the Company received $1.1 million.  At the same time, we
renegotiated the two remaining warrants to restate the milestone on one and
extended both warrants until March 1, 2001 or 30 days after we meet certain
product sales or revenue milestones.   If we achieve these milestones, we
anticipate that Mr. Brewer will choose to exercise the warrants and we will
receive as much as $1.1 million in additional funding.  However, there can be no
assurances that we will meet such milestones or that Mr. Brewer will, in fact,
exercise the warrants.

     In connection with the sale of the common shares and warrants to Mr.
Brewer, we agreed to issue additional warrants to Mr. Brewer if we sell shares
of common stock in a capital raising transaction at a price below $3.60 per
share prior to the earlier of (i) March 3, 2002 or (ii) our calling our
outstanding Class A warrants.  Mr. Brewer also received certain demand
registration rights and a right of first offer with respect to certain future
issuance's of securities of the Company.

OVERVIEW

     Notify Technology Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the State
of California in August 1994. We are engaged in the development, manufacture,
marketing and sale of computer telephony products for the business, Small Office
Home Office ("SOHO") and residential marketplaces. In recent years, the number
of individuals and businesses

                                     II-2
<PAGE>

relying on their telephone company service provider to provide them with
services such as voice mail and Centrex, a business-oriented service that
eliminates the need for on-premise telephone switching equipment, has increased
dramatically. Our products are designed to enhance the convenience and utility
of these services by providing customers with features that are either not
available or not included in standard service packages. Our Call Manager
products incorporate caller-id, call waiting caller-id, and Voice Mail
MessageAlert features. Our Centrex Receptionist product gives business and SOHO
customers a cost-effective means of ensuring that incoming calls are properly
routed even when a human attendant is not available. Our newly announced eLight
and eView products provide users with e-mail notification without the necessity
of logging into their mailbox. Our MessageAlert product, which we have sold over
the last three years, is a mature product that is expected to see limited sales
in the future. The MessageAlert is a product that increases the timeliness and
ease of message retrieval for voice mail subscribers by providing a visual
indication that a message has been received.

     We completed our IPO in September 1997, with net proceeds of approximately
$6.2 million. Prior to the IPO, our working capital requirements were met
through the sale of equity and debt securities and, to a lesser extent, product
revenue and a line of credit. We have sustained significant operating losses in
every fiscal period since inception and expect to incur substantial quarterly
operating losses in the future. Our limited operating history makes the
prediction of future operating results difficult if not impossible. Future
operating results will depend on many factors, including the demand for our
products, the level of product and price competition, our ability to expand our
existing distribution channels and to create new distribution channels, and our
ability to develop and market new products and control costs. There can be no
assurance that our revenue will grow or be sustained in future periods or that
we will ever achieve profitability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

     Our revenue has been derived from the sale of our Call Manager, Centrex
Receptionist and MessageAlert products. Revenue consists primarily of gross
revenue from the sale of telephony equipment and service income related to the
Centrex Receptionist. Revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999
increased to $1,836,142 from $1,638,268 for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1998. Revenue was up from the previous year due to the introduction of the
Call Manager product line and growth in Centrex Receptionist sales offset by a
decline in sales of the Message Alert product. We do not expect our Message
Alert products to be a significant source of revenue in fiscal 2000. We sell
products in the United States primarily to regional bell operating companies
and local exchange carriers. Two products accounted for 41% and 34% of total
revenues in fiscal 1999. Another product accounted for 81% of total revenue in
fiscal 1998. Significant portions of our revenue have been concentrated in a
small number of customers although not necessarily the same customers each
year. For example, two customers accounted for 55% and 11% of sales for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, and two customers accounted for 50% and
17% of sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. One of these
customers had significant sales in both years.

Cost of Sales

     Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost to manufacture our products.
Cost of sales increased to $1,721,029 in the fiscal year ended September 30,
1999 from $1,582,042 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. This
increase was the result of increased sales of our products for the use in
telephone company promotional programs. Despite significant inventory write-
downs recorded in the third and fourth quarter, our gross margin increased to
6% in fiscal 1999 from 3% in fiscal 1998. The write-downs were primarily
related to MessageAlert product that has been largely replaced by the Call
Manager product line as well as the write-down of certain Call Manager
inventory to the lower of cost or market due to expedite costs incurred to
achieve the initial volume deployment of the Call Manager product.

Research and Development

     Research and development expense consists principally of personnel costs,
contract design services, development tooling and supply expenses. Research and
development expense decreased to $1,361,792 for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1999 from $1,376,767 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. This
decrease was primarily the result of moving more development resources in house
versus using contract design services.  We expect to continue to move research
and development activity in-house but there can be no assurance that significant
cost savings will be achieved as the result of such actions.

                                     II-3
<PAGE>

     We expect that our investment in research and development will continue at
or near, the current level for fiscal 2000 to complete the products under
development and enhance our current products.

Sales and Marketing

     Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel, consulting and
travel costs and sales commissions related to our sales and marketing efforts.
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $837,334 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999 from $589,295 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.
This increase was attributable primarily to the expansion of Customer Service,
increased travel expense and increased commissions resulting from increased
sales.

     We anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will increase significantly
in future quarters as we hire additional sales and customer support personnel
and attempt to expand our existing and create new distribution channels.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense consists of general management and finance
personnel, occupancy costs and professional fees and other general corporate
expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $1,136,779 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 from $884,442 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998. These increases were primarily the result of additional
rent, legal, accounting and corporate expense and increases in executive
salaries.  We expect that we will need to hire additional accounting and
financial personnel in order to support anticipated growth.

Income Taxes

     There was no provision for federal or state income taxes in fiscal 1998
or 1999 as we incurred net operating losses. We expect to incur a net
operating loss in future quarters and years. As of September 30, 1999, we had
federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$16,000,000. The net loss carryforwards and certain research and development
tax credit carryforwards will expire in tax years 2002 through 2019, if not
utilized. Utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject
to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations
provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration
of net operating losses and credits carryforwards before full utilization. For
financial reporting purposes, deferred tax assets primarily related to the net
operating carryforwards recognized under Financial Accounting Standard No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," has been fully offset by a valuation
allowance.

Release of Escrow Securities

     In the event any Escrow Securities owned by security holders of the Company
who are officers, directors, consultants or employees of the Company are
released from escrow, compensation expense will be recorded for financial
reporting purposes. Therefore, in the event we attain any of the earnings or
stock price thresholds required for the release of the Escrow Securities, the
release would be treated, for financial reporting purposes, as compensation
expense to the Company. Accordingly, we will, in the event of the release of the
Escrow Securities, recognize during the period that the earnings or stock price
thresholds are met a substantial non-cash charge to earnings that would increase
our loss or reduce or eliminate earnings, if any, at such time. The amount of
this charge will be equal to the aggregate market price of such Escrow
Securities at the time of release from escrow. Although the amount of
compensation expense recognized by us will not affect our total shareholders'
equity or cash flow, it may have a depressive effect on the market price of our
securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our financial statements are prepared and presented on a basis assuming
we continue as a going concern. We had an accumulated deficit of $9.2 million
at September 30, 1999 and incurred a net loss of $3.1 million for the year
ended September 30,1999. Our recently developed products will need to attain
favorable market acceptance to continue our research and development
activities and fund operating expenses at current levels. Management believes
that sufficient funds will be available from cash, cash equivalents, and
operating activities to support the current level of operations through
September 30, 2000. There can be no assurance that our new products will
attain favorable market acceptance. If we are unable to
                                     II-4
<PAGE>

attain certain goals, significant reductions in spending and the
delay or cancellation of planned activities or more substantial restructuring of
our organization may be necessary.  In such an event, we intend to implement
expense reduction plans in a timely manner to enable us to meet our cash
requirements through at least September 30, 2000.  These actions would have
material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, and prospects.

     Over the last two years, we have financed our operations primarily through
sales of equity and debt securities and bank lines of credit. In the fiscal
years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the net cash used in operating
activities equaled $2,868,342 and $2,617,101, respectively. We anticipate that
we will have a negative cash flow from operating activities in future quarters
and years.

     In March 1999, we sold to David Brewer 850,000 shares of common stock and
issued warrants to purchase 1,344,444 shares of common stock for an aggregate
consideration of $3,043,360.  The warrants consisted of four warrants to
purchase 155,800 shares of common stock at $3.60 per share and one warrant to
purchase 721,244 shares of common stock at $3.60 per share.  Each of the four
warrants originally expired upon the earlier of September 3, 2000 or 30 days
after we meet certain product sales or revenue milestones.  On October 13, 1999,
David Brewer executed two of the warrants for a total of 311,600 shares of
common stock and the Company received $1.1 million.  At the same time, we
renegotiated the two remaining warrants to restate the milestone on one and
extend both warrants until March 1, 2001 or 30 days after we meet certain
product sales or revenue milestones.   If we achieve these milestones, we
anticipate that Mr. Brewer will choose to exercise the warrants and we will
receive as much as $1.1 million in additional funding.  However, there can be no
assurances that we will meet such milestones or that Mr. Brewer will, in fact,
exercise the warrants.

     In connection with the sale of the common shares and warrants to Mr.
Brewer, we agreed to issue additional warrants to Mr. Brewer if we sell shares
of common stock in a capital raising transaction at a price below $3.60 per
share prior to the earlier of (i) March 3, 2002 or (ii) our calling our
outstanding Class A warrants.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs
that have date sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000.

     We have developed a three-phase program to limit or eliminate Y2K
exposures.  Phase I is to identify those systems, applications and third-party
relationships that have exposure to Y2K disruptions in operations.  Phase II is
the development and implementation of action plans to achieve Y2K compliance in
all areas prior to the end of 1999.  Also included in Phase II is the
development of contingency plans which would be implemented should Y2K
compliance not be achieved in order to minimize disruptions in operations.
Phase III is the final testing or equivalent certification of testing of each
major area of exposure to ensure compliance.  We intend to complete all phases
before the end of 1999.

     We have identified three major areas determined to be critical for
successful Y2K compliance:  Area 1, which included financial, research and
development and administrative informational systems applications reliant on
system software; Area 2, which includes research, development and quality
applications reliant on computer programs embedded in microprocessors; and Area
3, which includes third-party relationships which may be affected by Area 1 or
Area 2 exposures, which exist in other companies.

     With respect to Area 1 and Area 2, we have completed an internal review of
equipment and software and performed research on product documentation or web
site disclosures regarding Y2K to determine major areas of Y2K exposure.  In
those instances where Y2K disclosures are not available and the equipment or
application utilizes date sensitive features, the equipment or software has been
replaced with Y2K compatible product.  With respect to Area 3, we have completed
our evaluation of our reliance on third parties to determine whether their Y2K
compliance will adequately assure uninterrupted operations and no significant
issues have been discovered.

     We have completed Phase I and Phase II of the Y2K program with respect to
all three of the major areas.  We believe that we rely on systems, applications
and third-party relationships that, if not Y2K compliant prior to the end of
1999, could have material adverse impact on business, financial condition and
results of operations.  Our Phase II contingency planning could not fully
provide for all possible events and there can be no assurance that there will be
an alternative option

                                     II-5
<PAGE>

available where we are sole sourced on certain product
should there be an interruption in the supply.  Our product is commonly customer
specific and replacement product from an alternate manufacturer may not be
acceptable to the customer and rarely available in the time frame required by
our normal sales contracts

     With respect to Phase III testing and certification, we are completing
certification testing and expect to have all the critical systems tested before
the end of 1999.  There can be no assurance that our testing will completely
assure uninterrupted operations and that any interruption, should it occur,
would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

               Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Notify Technology Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Notify Technology Corporation
as of September 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 1999 and
1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Notify Technology Corporation
at September 30, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1999

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Organization and Business

     On February 25, 1998, the Company changed its name from Notify Corporation
to Notify Technology Corporation. Notify Technology Corporation (the Company)
develops, manufactures, and markets computer telephony products.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's financial statements are prepared and presented on a basis
assuming it continues as a going concern. At September 30, 1999, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $9,207,036 and incurred a net loss of $3,123,284
for the year ended September 30, 1999. The Company's recently developed
products will need to attain favorable market acceptance to continue its
research and development activities and fund operating expenses at current
levels. Management believes that sufficient funds will be available from cash,
cash equivalents, and operating activities to support the current level of
operations through September 30, 2000. There can be no assurance that the
Company's new products will attain favorable market acceptance. If the Company
is unable to attain certain revenue goals, significant reductions in spending
and the delay or cancelation of planned activities or more substantial
restructuring of the Company may be necessary. In such event, the Company
intends to implement expense reduction plans in a timely manner to enable the
Company to meet its cash requirements through at least September 30, 2000.
These actions would have material adverse effects on the Company's business,
results of operations, and prospects.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company is
exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions to
the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheet.

out basis, or market and consist of the following:

                                                   ========================
</TABLE>

     Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized on a
straight-line basis of the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the asset or
the lease term. The estimated useful lives range from three to five years.

     Other Assets

     At September 30, 1999, other assets primarily consist of a prepaid royalty
for certain technology rights, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a three-year period through December 2000.

     Revenue Recognition

     Product sales are recognized upon product shipment.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Concentration of Credit Risk

     The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and generally requires no
collateral. The Company maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses
have been within management's expectations. As of September 30, 1999, two
customers accounted for 26% and 23% of accounts receivable.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

     Stock Options

     The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with
provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25), because the Company believes the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS
No. 123), requires the use of option valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, because the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price
of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.

     Net Loss Per Share

     Basic and fully dilutive net loss per share is calculated in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
(SFAS 128). All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented
and, where necessary, restated to conform to the SFAS 128 requirements. The
weighted average number of common shares used in the net loss per share
calculation was reduced by the common stock and potential common shares placed
in escrow in connection with the Company's initial public offering.

     Options to purchase 123,760 and 54,000 shares of common stock were
outstanding at September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, but were not included
in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be
antidilutive.

     Comprehensive Income

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS
130). SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS 130 in fiscal 1999.
The adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on the Company's net loss or
shareholders' equity.

2. Note Receivable

In fiscal 1998, the Company issued an unsecured $50,000 note receivable to a
supplier, which was fully collected in fiscal 1999.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company currently occupies a facility under an operating lease, which
expires in March 2001, and contains renewal options to extend the lease term for
one two-year period. Future minimum payments under this lease for the year ended
September 30, 2000 and 2001 are $149,000 and $75,000, respectively.

     Rent expense totaled $146,000 and $112,000 for the years ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     At September 30, 1999, the Company had $527,000 of outstanding letters of
credit to its suppliers.

5. Shareholders' Equity

     Preferred Stock

     The Board of Directors has the authority, without any further vote or
action by the shareholders, to provide for the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock from time to time in one or more series with such designation,
rights, preferences, and limitations as the Board of Directors may determine,
including the consideration received therefore, the number of shares comprising
each series, dividend rates, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences,
redemption and fund provisions, conversion rights, and voting rights, all
without the approval of the holders of common stock.

     In connection with an offering to the public in August 1997 (the Offering),
the Company granted an underwriter an option to purchase up to 160,000 units
(consisting of one share of common stock and one Class A warrant), exercisable
at $7.00 per unit, commencing in August 2000 and expiring in August 2002.

     In March 1999, the Company issued 850,000 shares of common stock for
proceeds of $3,043,360, net of issuance costs approximating $16,000. In
connection with this private placement, the Company also issued warrants to
purchase 1,344,444 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.60.

     The warrants consist of four warrants to purchase 155,800 shares of common
stock, expiring upon the earlier of September 3, 2000 or 30 days after the
Company meets certain product sales or revenue milestones, and one warrant to
purchase 721,244 shares of common stock, expiring in March 2003. The Company
also agreed to issue additional warrants if it sells shares of common stock in a
capital raising transaction at a price below $3.60 per share prior to the
earlier of (i) March 30, 2002 or (ii) the date on which the Company calls the
outstanding Class A warrants.

     Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

     At September 30, 1999, 2,025,000 Class A warrants issued in connection with
the Offering and other financings were outstanding. Each Class A warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price
of $6.50, subject to adjustment, at any time through August 2001. Under certain
circumstances, the warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at $0.05

     1997 Stock Option Plan

     In January 1997, the Company adopted the Notify Corporation 1997 Stock Plan
(the Plan), which provides for the granting of stock options to employees,
officers, consultants, and directors of the Company. Stock options are granted
at fair market value on the date of grant with terms of up to ten years. A total
of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance under
the Plan. Under the terms of these option grants, 25% of the options vest upon
the first anniversary of the date of grant, and an additional 1/36 of the
unvested shares vest ratably over the following 36 months.

     The following table summarizes stock option activity:

</TABLE>

     The weighted average fair value of options granted was $3.35 in 1999 and
$1.40 in 1998.

     On October 13, 1998, the Company repriced 54,000 employee stock options to
$0.906 per share.

     The Company has elected to follow APB No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS 123 requires use of
option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
stock options. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying common stock on
the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

     SFAS 123 requires pro forma information regarding net income and earnings
per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted
subsequent to September 30, 1995 under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The
fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a weighted average
expected life of the option of four years; risk-free interest rates of 6.0%;
dividend yields of 0.0%; and volatility factors of the expected market price of
the Company's common stock of 136% and 112% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's
pro forma information follows:

     The Company recognized compensation expense of $51,000 in fiscal 1999
related to the grant of options to nonemployees.

     Escrow Securities

     In connection with the Offering, holders of the Company's common and
preferred stock agreed to place 1,242,985 of their shares into escrow, and
holders of certain warrants agreed to place warrants to purchase 126,759 shares
of common stock into escrow. The securities will be released to the holders in
the event specified levels of pretax income of the Company for the years ended
September 30, 1998 to 2003 are achieved, or the market price of the Company's
common stock attains specified targets during a 36-month period commencing from
the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Company's
public offering. Any securities remaining in escrow on September 30, 2003 will
be forfeited, which securities will then be contributed to the Company's
capital. The pretax income levels are subject to proportionate adjustment upon
the issuance of certain securities subsequent to the Company's initial public
offering.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


     In the event that the foregoing earnings or market price levels are
attained and the escrowed securities released, the Securities and Exchange
Commission has adopted the position that the release of escrowed securities to
officers, directors, employees, and consultants of the Company will be
compensatory and, accordingly, will result in compensation expense for financial
reporting purposes. The expense will equal the fair value of the escrowed
securities on the date of release and will result in a material charge to
operations. At September 30, 1999, the Company had not attained any of the
specified earnings or market price levels.

6. Related Party Transactions

     The Company has an ongoing business relationship with a literature and
product fulfillment company owned by a director of the Company. The Company uses
this fulfillment company on a project by project basis to facilitate the
distribution of its products. The Company paid this fulfillment company $4,000
and $61,100 during fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

     Due to operating losses, there is no provision for income taxes for 1999 or
1998. The expected statutory tax rate of 34% is offset by the inability to
recognize an income tax benefit from the net operating losses.

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets for federal and state income taxes are as
follows:

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

     Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings, the
timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, a valuation allowance in
an amount equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established to reflect
these uncertainties. The change in the valuation allowance was a net increase of
$1,176,000 and $935,000 for fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     As of September 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $16,000,000 for federal and California tax purposes, which will
expire in years 2002 through 2019. As of September 30, 1999, the Company also
had research and development tax credit carryforwards for federal and California
tax purposes of approximately $110,000 and $60,000, respectively. The credits
will expire in years 2010 through 2019, if not utilized. Utilization of net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial
annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The
annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards before full utilization.

8. Industry Segment, Customer, and Geographic Information

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131). SFAS 131 changes standards for
the way that public business enterprises identify and report operating segments
in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS 131 requires selected
information about an enterprise's operating segments. Currently, the Company has
one operating segment by which management evaluates performance. Accordingly,
there are no additional disclosure requirements involved with the Company's
adoption of SFAS 131.

     The Company sells its products within the United States primarily to
regional bell operating companies and local exchange carriers. Two products
accounted for 41% and 34% of total revenues in fiscal 1999. Another product
accounted for 81% of total revenue in fiscal 1998. One customer accounted for
11% and 50% of sales in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. Two other customers
accounted for 55% and 17% of sales in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively.
