Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2000 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1999

Revenues

      Total revenues increased 1% for the year ended July 31, 2000 as compared
to the prior year due primarily to increased ASP hosting revenues and
maintenance revenues, offset by decreased professional services and license
revenues. ASP hosting revenues increased 55% due to the Company's focus on
expanding this business and adding several new significant customers during
fiscal 2000. Maintenance revenues increased 13% due to an expanding customer
base. As a result of Y2K concerns, many customers and prospects delayed
licensing and implementation of software until the passage of January 1, 2000.
This led to a 24% decrease in license revenues and a 10% decrease in
professional services revenues. The Company believes, based on activity in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, that Y2K will not have a material impact on
future financial results.

      Backlog for the Company's products and services of approximately $40.6
million as of July 31, 2000, of which approximately $22.8 million is scheduled
to be satisfied within one year, is primarily composed of recurring software
license and maintenance revenues for ongoing maintenance and support, software
implementation and consulting services, and ASP hosting services. Software
agreements for recurring license fees generally have non-cancelable terms of up
to five years. Annual maintenance contracts may generally be terminated upon 30
days notice; however, the Company has not historically experienced material
cancellations of such contracts. Software implementation and consulting services
backlog is principally performed under time and material agreements, of which
some have cancellation provisions. ASP hosting agreements generally provide that
fees are charged on a per transaction basis. The estimated future revenues with
respect to software implementation and ASP hosting services are based on
management's estimate of revenues over the remaining life of the respective
contracts.

      FormMaker historically distributed its line of Document Automation
Platform software products to the insurance industry in North America through an
exclusive marketing agreement with MYND, formerly Policy Management Systems
Corporation. In September 1998, both parties agreed to terminate the marketing
agreement and enter into a new, non-exclusive marketing agreement. The new
marketing agreement between the Company and MYND allows MYND to market all of
the Company's software products to insurance and financial services companies
worldwide. The Company generated revenues of approximately $2.8 million and $3.7
million for the years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, under the new
agreement.

ASP hosting expense

      ASP hosting expense is composed primarily of personnel costs,
facility-related costs, postage, and supplies expense related to the Company's
two ASP hosting centers. ASP hosting expense increased 69% for the year ended
July 31, 2000 due primarily to personnel, facility, and computer costs
associated with opening a second ASP hosting facility in Dallas, Texas in March
2000. ASP hosting expense also increased as a result of approximately $1.8
million of additional postage and supplies expense related to increased ASP
hosting revenues. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, ASP hosting
expense represented 87% and 80% of ASP hosting revenues, respectively. The
increase in cost as a percentage of revenues is mainly due to additional costs
incurred with expanding the Company's ASP hosting capacity. The Company expects
ASP hosting expense to increase as ASP hosting revenues increase.

Professional services expense

      Professional services expense is composed primarily of personnel expenses
related to implementation, education, and consulting services. Professional
services expense decreased 2%


                                       29
<PAGE>

for the year ended July 31, 2000 due to decreased recruiting and travel costs,
offset by increased personnel costs associated with the expanded professional
services department. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999,
professional services expense represented 82% and 76% of professional services
revenues, respectively. The increase in cost as a percentage of professional
services revenues is mainly due to lower utilization of consulting personnel as
a result of customers readjusting their focus until after the passage of January
1, 2000. The Company expects professional services expense to increase in order
to meet additional resource requirements as professional services activities
increase domestically and internationally.

Product development and support expense

      Product development and support expense consists primarily of research and
development efforts, amortization of capitalized software development costs,
customer support, and other product support costs. For the fiscal year ended
July 31, 2000, product development and support expense increased 8%. The
majority of the increase is related to additional personnel expenses for
continued development and support of the Company's products. The Company
anticipates continued increases in development efforts, including Internet
applications, integration of its existing product offerings, further development
of systems for use in industries such as utilities and financial services,
development of new software products, and continued support of its existing
product lines. Expenditures in this area are expected to increase in relation to
the anticipated growth in revenues.

Selling and marketing expense

      In fiscal 2000, selling and marketing expense decreased 2% primarily due
to decreased third-party selling costs associated with the MYND marketing
agreement. Incentive compensation also decreased as a result of decreased
license revenues; however, personnel costs increased as a result of
international and vertical market expansion.

General and administrative expense

      General and administrative expense remained substantially unchanged for
the year ended July 31, 2000. Legal and accounting fees and bad debt expense
decreased, which was offset by increased personnel costs.

Other income, net

      Other income, net decreased approximately $10,000 for the year ended July
31, 2000 due primarily to a decrease in interest income. This decrease was
partially offset by a decrease in the loss on foreign exchange rate for the year
ended July 31, 2000.

Provision for income taxes

      The effective tax rate for the years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, was
approximately 45% and 43%, respectively. These rates differ from the federal
statutory rate due primarily to non-deductible goodwill amortization related to
the Merger and acquisitions of EZPower and Maitland. The Company used a portion
of its net operating loss carryforwards and outstanding tax credits to offset
its current tax liability for the years ended July 31, 2000 and 1999.

Net income

      Net income decreased 44% for fiscal 2000. The decrease in net income is
primarily due to the impact of Y2K on software license and professional services
revenues and the increase in operating expenses associated with international,
ASP hosting, and vertical market expansion.

Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1999 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1998

Revenues

      Total revenues increased 15% for the year ended July 31, 1999 as compared
to the prior year. An increase in large dollar software licenses in the
insurance market was primarily responsible for the 28% increase in license
revenues. Maintenance revenues increased 22% due to an expanding customer base.
For the year ended July 31, 1999, professional services revenues increased 22%
due to increased consulting and implementation services revenues in the
insurance and utilities markets. ASP hosting revenues decreased 24% due to the
approximate $4.4 million decline in ASP hosting revenues resulting from the May
1998 termination of the MYND print outsourcing agreement, partially offset by
increased ASP hosting revenues in the utilities market.

ASP hosting expense

      ASP hosting expense is composed primarily of personnel costs,
facility-related costs, postage, and supplies expense related to the Company's
ASP hosting center. ASP hosting expense decreased 23% for the year ended July
31, 1999 due primarily to a decrease in postage and supplies expense associated
with the decrease in ASP hosting revenues. The decrease was partially offset by
increased personnel costs as the Company focused on expanding the ASP hosting
business. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1999 and 1998, ASP hosting expense
represented 80% and 79% of ASP hosting revenues, respectively.

Professional services expense

      Professional services expense is composed primarily of personnel expenses
related to implementation, education, and consulting services. Professional
services expense increased 27% for the year ended July 31, 1999 due to increased
personnel costs as the professional services department expanded both
domestically and internationally. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1999 and
1998, professional services expense represented 76% and 73% of professional
services revenues, respectively.

Product development and support expense

      Product development and support expense consists primarily of research and
development efforts, amortization of capitalized software development costs,
customer support, and other product support costs. For the fiscal year ended
July 31, 1999, product development and support expense increased 14%. The
majority of the increase is related to additional personnel expenses for
continued development and support of the Company's products, including
additional expenses arising from the acquisitions of EZPower and Maitland in
March 1998.

Selling and marketing expense

      Selling and marketing expense increased 42% mainly due to additional
personnel expenses incurred as the departments expanded to meet the Company's
needs, and increased incentive compensation as a result of higher revenues. In
addition, the Company concentrated on increasing market awareness through
advertising, trade shows, and market research which increased these
expenditures.

General and administrative expense

      In fiscal 1999, general and administrative expense decreased 8%. This is
primarily the result of a decrease in legal fees from fiscal 1998, which
included legal defense and settlement costs related to the resolution of two
litigation matters. The decrease in legal fees was partially


                                       31
<PAGE>

offset by an increase in goodwill amortization resulting from the EZPower and
Maitland acquisitions in March 1998, and an increase in staffing levels within
the general and administrative departments.

Other income (expense), net

      The significant increase in other income (expense), net was due to a
material amount of interest income generated during the fiscal year ended July
31, 1999 as compared with interest expense incurred during the prior year. As a
result of the receipt of approximately $18.5 million of Initial Public Offering
("IPO") proceeds in April 1998, interest income increased as compared to fiscal
1998 due to higher cash, cash equivalent, and short-term investment balances
maintained by the Company. The Company repaid its debt in April 1998 with
proceeds from the IPO leaving minimal interest expense, which is related to
capital lease obligations.

Provision for income taxes

      The effective tax rate for the years ended July 31, 1999 and 1998, was
approximately 43% and 41%, respectively. Goodwill amortization related to the
acquisitions of EZPower and Maitland is non-deductible, which increased the
effective tax rate for the fiscal 1999 period. The majority of goodwill
amortization related to the Merger is also non-deductible. The Company used a
portion of its net operating loss carryforwards and outstanding tax credits to
offset its current tax liability for the years ended July 31, 1999 and 1998.

Net income

      Net income increased 42% for fiscal 1999. The increase in net income is
due primarily to increased higher margin license fees, increased consulting
fees, elimination of the MYND generated ASP hosting and consulting revenues, and
increased interest income, partially offset by additional expenses required to
meet the revenue levels.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development and Related Costs

      Based on the results of an independent third-party appraisal, the Company
recorded charges of $13.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 to
expense in-process research and development ("in-process R&D") costs related to
the acquisition of FormMaker. The aggregate purchase price related to the
Merger, including direct acquisition costs, was approximately $20.4 million
which was allocated to the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired,
including in-process R&D. Acquired in-process R&D represents the present value
of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by FormMaker
in-process R&D. The allocation of $13.5 million to in-process R&D represented
the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the
in-process R&D projects. In the opinion of management and independent
third-party appraisers, the development of these projects had not yet reached
technological feasibility and therefore, the in-process R&D had no alternative
future uses. Accordingly, these costs were charged to operations on the closing
date of the Merger.

      The value assigned to purchased in-process R&D was determined by
estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process R&D into commercially
viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects, and
discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue projection
used to value the in-process R&D was based on estimates of relevant market sizes
and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and expected
timing of new product introductions by FormMaker and its competitors.

      The estimated revenues for the in-process R&D assumed a compound annual
growth rate of approximately 30% in the four years following introduction,
assuming the successful completion and market acceptance of the major R&D
programs. For each of the acquired in-


                                       32
<PAGE>

process R&D efforts, the estimated revenues for the in-process projects were
expected to peak within three to four years of acquisition and then decline as
other new products and technologies are expected to enter the market.

      The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value
were based on cost of capital calculations. Due to the nature of the forecast
and the risks associated with the projected growth and profitability associated
with FormMaker's in-process R&D, a discount rate of 27% was used to value
in-process R&D, and a discount rate of 20% was used for the existing products
and technology. This discount rate was commensurate with the acquired in-process
R&D projects' stages of development and the uncertainties in the economic
estimates described above. As of the date of the Merger, FormMaker had spent
approximately $1.3 million on in-process R&D projects. Subsequent to the date of
the Merger, the Company expended approximately $1.0 million for the completion
of the in-process R&D projects which approximated the expected costs to complete
such projects.

      Milestones for the in-process R&D projects were also examined as of the
date of the Merger. For each in-process R&D project, Company engineers evaluated
the critical milestones. This included comprehensive analysis of each of the
acquired product lines' in-process R&D to clarify the technological hurdles that
the development team had overcome at the date of the Merger as well as the
hurdles that the engineers faced going forward to complete the remaining
development efforts. From this analysis, the overall significance of tasks
completed versus tasks remaining were assessed. For all categories, a greater
level of significance was associated with completed tasks. This implied that a
greater degree of overall value was attributable to the completed tasks relative
to those indicated by the cost metrics. Based on estimates made by FormMaker's
R&D professionals regarding technical achievements completed as of the date of
the Merger, the milestone percentage was determined to be approximately 75%.
Utilizing this milestone analysis for the in-process R&D valuation resulted in
values for incomplete R&D projects which approximated the $13.5 million
appraisal value.

      At the time of the Merger, FormMaker offered a basic portfolio of document
automation processing and imaging software products. FormMaker's product lines
and related services stemmed from its DAP and Multi-user Archival & Retrieval
System ("MARS") technologies.

      The acquired in-process R&D value was comprised of several ongoing
projects intended to address the issues of technological advances in the
marketplace such as new client/server architecture, new delivery mechanisms, the
Internet, emergence of the Windows NT operating system, object integration on
the desktop, and new standards such as Microsoft's Active-X, Microsoft's ODBC,
and Sun Microsystems' Java, which were making the development and implementation
of new products increasingly complex. These advances in technology required
creating highly advanced products that could handle substantial increases in
demand, as well as end user requirements for more complex graphics-intensive
material. This led to development efforts which centered around new DAP and MARS
technologies and incorporated innovative new features and a wide array of
advanced functions. FormMaker was addressing industry and technological trends
by developing new delivery mechanisms via the Internet, object integration on
the desktop, new DAP architecture, platform independence, improved workflow
functionality, product compatibility, DAP and MARS integration, and the
development of migration and upgrade paths.

      At the Merger date, there were still significant efforts needed to bring
the acquired in-process technologies and projects to fruition. These efforts
principally related to the completion of planning, designing, architecturing,
coding, prototyping, scalability, verification, and testing activities that were
necessary to establish that the proposed technologies would meet their design


                                       33
<PAGE>

specifications. These projects had not yet reached technological feasibility at
the time of the Merger. Management expected to continue to support these efforts
and believed FormMaker had a reasonable chance of successfully completing the
R&D programs. However, there was risk associated with the completion of the
projects and there was no assurance that any would reach either technological or
commercial success. If these projects were not successfully developed, the sales
and profitability of the combined company could have been adversely affected in
future periods.

      Subsequent to the Merger, the majority of the original R&D projects were
completed in accordance with FormMaker's plans. The fruition of these projects
resulted in advanced new product technologies represented by the launch of the
Internet Document Server ("IDS") versions 1.0 and 1.3, Bill Print version 1.0
and 1.1, which fueled the release of two new DAP products.

      The emergence of the IDS products represented the completion of a key
revolutionary technology. This new rules-based transaction processing server,
released in October 1997, allows for the dynamic generation of documents in
industry-standard Adobe PDF format for Web delivery and the ability to archive
documents in a pure "thin-client" fashion. The second phase of ongoing projects
aimed at addressing new Internet functionalities pushed forward the release of
IDS version 1.3 in December 1998, which further addressed new delivery
mechanisms and standards such as Microsoft's Active-X, Microsoft's ODBC, and Sun
Microsystem's Java and represents the completion of the in-process R&D acquired
in the Merger. The Company began recognizing revenue related to IDS products
during fiscal year 1998.

      FormMaker's pre-acquisition efforts in developing new printing
technologies have resulted in the release of Bill Print versions 1.0 and 1.1 in
October 1997 and March 1998, respectively, which address the high-volume complex
bill and statement printing needs of the utilities industry.

      FormMaker's investments in developing innovative features, new workflow
capabilities, object-oriented desktop integration, multiple language system
communications, improved graphics capabilities and platform and hardware
adaptability proved fruitful in yielding new DAP releases in September 1997 that
could adequately address international markets and open new industries, such as
utilities and financial services.

      The release of Bill Print versions 1.0 and 1.1 and the new DAP releases
have contributed to a significant increase in revenues derived from the
utilities market. Revenues in this market increased in excess of 160% in the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1998, as compared to the previous fiscal year, and
greater than 29% and 8% in each of the fiscal years ended July 31, 1999 and
2000, respectively. In addition, these releases of in-process R&D have resulted
in recent licenses to the financial services industry.

      Most of the in-process R&D projects acquired in the Merger were completed
on schedule, but minor delays occurred due to changes in technological and
market requirements for document automation processing and imaging systems.
Although all in-process R&D projects have been completed, no assurance can be
made that the Company's recent releases will be met with market acceptance.

      As discussed in Note 5 of the notes to consolidated financial statements,
the Company has responded to inquiries by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") regarding the value ascribed to the technology acquired as in-process
R&D in connection with the Merger. To date, the Company has not received further
inquiries from the SEC. However, depending upon the outcome of any future
discussions with the SEC, the Company's historical reported results could
potentially be subject to restatement to reflect a reduction of the in-process
R&D charge.


                                       34

A reduction of the in-process R&D charge would result in a corresponding
increase in the amount of goodwill, which is being amortized over a ten year
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At July 31, 2000, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted
of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.7 million and short-term
investments of approximately $7.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents for the
year ended July 31, 2000 decreased approximately $1.7 million due primarily to
the purchase of fixed assets and purchase of treasury stock under the Company's
stock repurchase program, offset by approximately $10.5 million of cash
generated from operations. Cash flows used in investing activities of
approximately $6.8 million were related to the purchase of short-term
investments, development of capitalized software, and purchase of fixed assets.
Specifically, the Company invested approximately $4.2 million in fixed assets
primarily related to the Company's opening of the Dallas ASP center, expanding
the Atlanta facilities, and purchase of ASP hosting equipment. Cash flows used
in financing activities of approximately $5.4 million primarily relates to the
purchase of treasury stock under the Company's stock repurchase program offset
by proceeds from exercise of stock options. As of July 31, 2000, the Company had
approximately 1,509,000 shares of treasury stock outstanding at an average per
share cost of $5.25. Since inception of the Company's stock repurchase program
in fiscal 1999, the Company has repurchased approximately 2,606,000 million
shares of stock at an average purchase price of $5.12. The Company's board of
directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of
4,000,000 shares of stock

      Working capital was approximately $14.0 million at July 31, 2000, compared
with approximately $15.5 million at July 31, 1999.

      The Company's $3.5 million revolving credit facility bears interest at the
bank's prime rate less 0.25%, or 9.25% as of July 31, 2000, and has been renewed
and extended to November 2001. Under the credit facility, the Company is
required to maintain certain financial covenants. As of July 31, 2000 there were
no borrowings under this credit facility.

      The Company's liquidity needs are expected to arise primarily from funding
the continued development, enhancement, and support of its software offerings,
selling and marketing costs associated principally with expansion in new
vertical and international markets, and purchase of treasury stock under the
Company's stock repurchase program. Although the Company has no current
commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisition of other businesses or
technologies, a portion of the Company's cash could be used to acquire
complementary businesses or obtain the right to use complementary technologies.

      The Company currently anticipates that existing cash, short-term
investments, its existing credit facility, and cash generated from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the foreseeable
future.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

DocuCorp International, Inc. ("DocuCorp" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was organized on January 13, 1997 in connection with the
acquisition of FormMaker Software, Inc. ("FormMaker") by Image Sciences, Inc.
("Image Sciences") (the "Merger"). The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Image Sciences, FormMaker, EZPower Systems, Inc. ("EZPower"),
Maitland Software, Inc. ("Maitland"), and DocuCorp Europe Ltd. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

The Company's business includes developing, marketing, and supporting computer
software designed to automate the process of generating, storing, managing, and
distributing business documents. The Company also provides application service
provider ("ASP") hosting of Internet-enabled solutions, consulting, application
integration, and training. The majority of the Company's business is currently
derived from companies in the insurance industry.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from licensing of standard software is recognized upon shipment of the
software. Revenue from software licenses which include a cancellation clause is
recognized upon expiration of the cancellation period. Revenue derived from the
development and installation of software packages under long-term contracts is
recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis measured by the relationship of
hours worked to total estimated contract hours. Revenue related to products
still in the testing phase is deferred until formal acceptance of the product by
the purchaser. Anticipated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are
recognized in the period in which such losses are determined.

Revenue from maintenance contracts, and maintenance revenue that is packaged
with license fees, is recognized ratably over the term of the agreements. The
Company records deferred revenue for maintenance amounts invoiced prior to
revenue recognition. Revenue related to professional services, such as training
and consulting, and ASP hosting is recognized as the services are performed.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
stated at cost, which approximates fair market value.

Short-term investments

The Company has the intent and ability to hold short-term investments to
maturity; consequently, such investments are carried at cost, which approximates
fair market value. At July 31, 2000, the Company held short-term investments
which totaled approximately $7.8 million. Interest income from such investments
was approximately $406,000, $244,000, and $0 in 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively.

Accounts receivable

Included in accounts receivable at July 31, 2000 and 1999 are unbilled amounts
of approximately $1.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Such amounts have
been recognized as revenue under the percentage-of-completion method or upon
execution of the contract and shipment of the software, but prior to contractual
payment terms.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued
liabilities. The current carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair
market value due to the relatively short period of time to maturity for these
instruments.

Fixed assets, depreciation, and amortization

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated
service lives using the straight-line method. Amortization of assets recorded
under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Estimated service
lives are as follows:

          Computer equipment                             4-5 years
          Furniture and fixtures                           5 years
          Leasehold improvements                     life of lease
          Leased equipment under capital leases          3-5 years

Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments
are capitalized and depreciated over the assets' remaining estimated service
lives. Upon retirement or sale of an asset, the cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss
included in income.

Software

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with either Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," or with Statement of
Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use." After the technological feasibility of the software
has been established, material software development costs which include salaries
and related payroll costs incurred in the development activities are
capitalized. Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment
of the technological feasibility of a product are expensed as incurred. The cost
of capitalized software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated
useful life, generally four to six years, or the ratio of current revenues to
current and anticipated revenues from the software, whichever provides the
greater amortization. During 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company charged to
expense approximately $6.3 million, $5.9 million, and $5.2 million,
respectively, for research and development costs incurred prior to the
establishment of the technological feasibility of products. Such expense is
included in product development and support on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Goodwill

Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over eight to ten years. The
carrying value of goodwill is evaluated periodically in relation to the
operating performance and anticipated future undiscounted net cash flows of the
related business. In the event that assets are found to be carried at amounts
which are in excess of estimated gross future cash flows, the intangible assets
are adjusted for impairment to a level commensurate with a discounted cash flow
analysis of the underlying assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed
of." Under the provisions of this statement, the Company has evaluated its
long-lived assets for financial impairment, and will continue to do so as events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may
not be fully recoverable.

Translation of foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is
other than the U.S. dollar are translated at year-end rates of exchange and
revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during
the year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in income
as incurred.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income",
which established new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and it components. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the
Company's foreign currency translation adjustments to be accumulated in
stockholders' equity as part of other comprehensive income.

Income taxes

Income taxes are presented pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 uses an
asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. In the event
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of
the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such
assets is required. A valuation allowance is provided for the deferred tax
assets when there is sufficient uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to
recognize the benefits of these assets in future years.

Net income per share

The Company's basic and diluted net income per share are computed in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("SFAS 128"). Concurrent with the completion of the Company's Initial Public
Offering ("IPO"), all outstanding shares of Class B common stock were converted
into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Both basic and diluted net
income per share have been computed assuming the conversion of Class B common
stock occurred as of the date of original issuance. Basic net income per share
is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants
(using the treasury stock method). Following is a reconciliation of the shares
used in computing basic and diluted net income per share for the fiscal years
indicated (in thousands):

                                                 2000         1999         1998
                                                ------       ------       ------
Shares used in computing basic
   net income per share                         15,317       16,001       12,587

Dilutive effect of stock options and
   warrants                                      1,555        1,569        2,278
                                                ------       ------       ------

Shares used in computing diluted
   net income per share                         16,872       17,570       14,865
                                                ======       ======       ======

Options to purchase 843,000, 246,000, and 69,289 shares of Common Stock at
average exercise prices of $4.79, $5.44, and $5.82 per share at July 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively, were anti-dilutive and not included in the
computation of diluted net income per share, because the options' exercise price
was greater than the average market price of the Common Stock for the period.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB 25") and its various interpretations, including Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
Transactions, Including Stock-Based Compensation." Under APB 25, compensation
cost is generally not recognized for fixed stock options in which the exercise
price


                                       43
<PAGE>

is not less than the market price on the grant date. Compensation cost
recognized by the Company in accordance with APB 25 has not been significant in
any of the past three years.

Management estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates during
the reported periods.

Advertising costs

The Company's policy for advertising costs is to expense such costs as incurred.
Advertising expenses for 2000, 1999, and 1998 were approximately $1.1 million,
$995,000, and $324,000, respectively.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which requires all derivative instruments
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge
transaction and, if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction. This
statement, as amended, is effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000; accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS 133 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The impact on the Company, if any, will be
dependent upon the extent to which the Company is a party to derivative
contracts or hedging activities covered by SFAS 133 at the time of adoption.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," ("SAB 101"),
which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of
revenue in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to
recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue
recognition policies. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 no later than the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2001. The Company is in the
process of assessing the impact of adopting SAB 101.

Note 2 - Fixed assets

Fixed asset balances at July 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows (in thousands):

                                                            2000          1999

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

The Company completed an IPO in the form of a rights offering to Safeguard
Scientifics, Inc. ("Safeguard") stockholders in April 1998. The Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-44427) with respect to the IPO
was declared effective on February 24, 1998. The Company's Common Stock began
trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol


                                       44
<PAGE>

DOCC on April 6, 1998. The Company sold 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a
per share price of $5.00. Net proceeds to the Company, after deduction of the
underwriting discount and IPO expenses, were approximately $18.5 million.
Selling stockholders sold 3,460,000 shares at a per share price of $5.00. The
Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling
stockholders.

Note 4 - Acquisitions

On March 31, 1998, the Company completed the acquisitions of EZPower and
Maitland. The Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of EZPower
in exchange for 650,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, repayment of
approximately $2.5 million of EZPower's indebtedness, and potential payment of
certain contingent cash consideration based on future performance. The Company
issued 170,000 shares of its Common Stock as consideration for the Maitland
acquisition. The Company had the right to repurchase up to 100,000 of those
shares based upon cumulative licensing and maintenance of the Maitland software
product through the period ending July 31, 2001. In August 1999, the Company
waived its repurchase rights. Accordingly, additional goodwill in the
approximate amount of $82,000 was recorded and is being amortized over the
remaining amortization period. Both acquisitions were recorded under the
purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations of
EZPower and Maitland for all periods subsequent to the acquisition date are
included in the consolidated financial statements. The aggregate purchase
prices, including direct acquisition costs, were approximately $5.9 million and
$605,000 which have been allocated to the fair value of net identifiable assets
in the acquisitions of EZPower and Maitland, respectively. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of
approximately $4.8 million and $583,000 related to the acquisitions of EZPower
and Maitland, respectively, has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized
on a straight-line basis over eight years.

Note 5 - Acquired In-Process Research and Development

In connection with a review conducted by the SEC related to the Company's filing
of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1998, the Company
responded to the SEC regarding inquiries related to the value ascribed to the
technology acquired as in-process research and development ("in-process R&D") in
the May 1997 Merger. In connection with the Merger, the Company recorded
in-process R&D charges in the amount of $13.5 million in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1997. The Company understands that the SEC is engaged in similar
discussions with other companies, and has examined the basis for valuing
in-process R&D charges versus the SEC's most recent guidance on the preferred
calculation of these charges. The Company has consulted with its independent
accountants and independent appraisers and believes that the purchase price
allocations and related amortization charges stemming from the acquisition were
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Depending upon the outcome of any future discussions with the SEC, the Company's
historical reported results could potentially be subject to restatement to
reflect a reduction of the in-process R&D charge. A reduction of the in-process
R&D charge would result in a corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill,
which is being amortized over a ten year period.

Capital lease obligations of approximately $26,000 were paid during the year
ended July 31, 2000. As of July 31, 2000, there were no remaining capital lease
obligations.

Certain other equipment leases and the Company's obligation under leases for
office space are treated as operating leases and the rentals are expensed as
incurred. Rent expense on these operating leases for the years ended July 31,
2000, 1999, and 1998 totaled approximately $3.9 million, $2.9 million, and $2.6
million, respectively. Generally, the Company's leases provide for renewals for
various periods at stipulated rates.

Future minimum lease obligations on leases in effect at July 31, 2000 are as
follows (in thousands):

Stock-based compensation

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounts Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), the Company is required to report pro
forma information regarding net income and net income per share for awards
granted or modified in fiscal years 1996 and thereafter as if the Company had
accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the fair value method of
SFAS 123. The weighted average fair value of options granted during fiscal 2000,
1999, and 1998 was $2.38, $1.84, and $0.59 per option, respectively. The fair
value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: risk-free
interest rates of 6.21%, 4.96%, and 5.76%; no expected dividend yields; expected
lives of 4.50, 3.50, and 3.00 years; and volatility of 60%, 46.11%, and 0%. The
Black-Scholes model was not developed for use in valuing employee stock options,
but was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that
have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, it
requires the use of subjective assumptions including expectations of future
dividends and stock price volatility. Such assumptions are only used for making
the required fair value estimate and should not be considered as indicators of
future dividend policy or stock price appreciation. Because changes in the
subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and
because employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may
not provide a reliable estimate of the fair value of employee stock options.

For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company's stock-based
awards to employees is amortized over the options' vesting period. Such pro
forma impact on net income and net income per share is not necessarily
indicative of future effects on net income or net income per share. The
Company's pro forma information for the years ended July 31 is as follows (in
thousands except per share amounts):

Warrants

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed warrants with a seven-year
term held by stockholders and a director of FormMaker to purchase Common Stock.
Additional warrants with a three-year term were issued by FormMaker to

At July 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $9.0 million that generally expire in the
years ending 2007 through 2017.

During fiscal 2000 and 1998, the Company released the valuation allowance in the
amount of $1,467,000 and $893,000, respectively, based on management's
assessment of the likelihood of realizability of the Company's loss
carryforwards. In accordance with SFAS 109, the reduction of the valuation
allowance was recorded as a decrease in goodwill related to the Merger and the
acquisition of EZPower.

The Company has approximately $235,000 of general business credit carryforwards.
The tax credit carryforwards generally expire in the years ending 2007 through
2011.

Due to ownership changes, a portion of the Company's net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards are subject to an annual cumulative limitation with respect
to the amounts which may be utilized in any one year. The Company believes
realization of the net deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, to be
more likely than not.

The Company made estimated and regular income tax payments of approximately $1.3
million, $2.6 million, and $525,000 during the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999,
and 1998, respectively.

Note 10 - Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a discretionary defined contribution plan (401(k) plan),
as defined by the United States Internal Revenue Code, which allows participants
to contribute a percentage of their compensation. The plan also allows for a
discretionary matching contribution by the Company as determined by the
Company's board of directors. The Company's matching contributions for the years
ended July 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 were approximately $490,000, $340,000, and
$140,000, respectively.

FormMaker historically distributed its line of Document Automation Platform
software products to the insurance industry in North America through an
exclusive marketing agreement with MYND. Revenues from MYND under this agreement
for the year ended July 31, 1998 were approximately $5.5 million. In September
1998, both parties agreed to terminate the marketing agreement and enter into a
new, non-exclusive marketing agreement. The new marketing agreement between the
Company and MYND allows MYND to market all of the Company's software products to
insurance and financial services companies worldwide. For the years ended July
31, 2000 and 1999, the Company generated revenues of approximately $2.8 million
and $3.7 million, respectively, through the MYND relationship.

In May 1998, the MYND print outsourcing agreement was terminated. The Company
received no ASP hosting revenues from Mynd in fiscal years 2000 or 1999;
however, revenues from under the agreement for the year ended July 31, 1998 were
approximately $4.4 million.

For the year ended July 31, 1999, one customer accounted for approximately 10%
of the Company's total revenues.

Net income per share calculations for each period are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding in each period; therefore, the sum of the
net income per share amounts for the quarters does not necessarily equal the
year-to-date net income per share amounts.
