                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

March 20, 1998

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Vivo Software, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations, of changes in stockholders' (deficit) equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vivo
Software, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations and has limited working capital to fund future operations. On
February 20, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to be acquired by
RealNetworks, Inc. as disclosed in Note 10.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                December 31, 1997



1.         NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

           Vivo Software, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on October 19,
           1992 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Company develops,
           markets, and sells software tools for the production and delivery of
           video and audio at low to moderate bit rates over the Internet's
           World Wide Web and over corporate intranets.

           The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
           that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an
           accumulated deficit of $22,080,245 at December 31, 1997 and has
           limited working capital to fund future operations. As discussed in
           Note 10, the Company entered into an agreement on February 20, 1998
           to be acquired by RealNetworks, Inc.

2.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

           CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
           The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds, United
           States treasury notes and mortgage-backed securities. Cash, cash
           equivalents and short-term investments are maintained in lending
           institutions or securities with strong credit ratings and
           accordingly, the Company believes that they are subject to minimal
           credit and market risk. For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
           the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
           with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At
           December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company's cash equivalents are
           classified as available-for-sale and include $154,112 and $229,927 in
           money market funds, respectively. The carrying amount of cash
           equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity and
           holding period of these instruments.

           At December 31, 1996, the Company's short-term investments are
           classified as held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost,
           which approximates fair value. All of the Company's short-term
           investments at December 31, 1996 were mortgaged-backed securities
           which matured within six months of the date purchased.

           INVENTORIES
           Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
           determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist
           primarily of finished goods.

           FIXED ASSETS
           Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the
           straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.


<PAGE>   9
           RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
           Costs associated with the development of computer software prior to
           establishing technological feasibility are expensed as incurred.
           Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the
           establishment of technological feasibility as defined by Statement of
           Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the
           Cost of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed",
           and continues until the product is released for sale. To date,
           software development costs eligible for capitalization have not been
           material to the Company's statement of operations or financial
           position.

           REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUE
           Revenues from product sales and licensing of software, except to
           distributors, are recognized upon shipment. Revenues from product
           sales to distributors are generally recognized by the Company when
           the distributor sells the product to their customers. Revenues are
           recognized provided no significant obligations remain and collection
           of the related receivable is probable. To the extent that rights of
           return exist, the Company provides an allowance for estimated
           returns.

           During the year ended December 31, 1997, one customer accounted for
           approximately 32% of the Company's total revenue. During the year
           ended December 31, 1996, three customers accounted for approximately
           26%, 26%, and 13% of the Company's total revenue. Included in these
           amounts was revenue from one customer of $300,000 which was generated
           through the customer's forfeiture of prepaid royalties due to the
           termination of a development arrangement.

           CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
           Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to
           concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts
           receivable. The Company does not believe that such amounts are
           subject to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk
           associated with operating its business. Ongoing credit evaluations of
           customers' financial condition are performed and generally collateral
           is not required. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, accounts receivable
           from three customers and two customers accounted for approximately
           76% and 96%, respectively, of total amounts due to the Company.
           Management does not believe that the Company was exposed to any
           material credit losses at December 31, 1997.

           ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
           Stock options issued to employees are accounted for in accordance
           with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting
           for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations;
           accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded for options awarded
           to employees with exercise prices equal to or in excess of the
           stock's fair market value and where the number of options and
           exercise price are fixed. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123,
           "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", in 1996 through disclosure
           only (Note 6).

           ADVERTISING COSTS
           Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.
           Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
           was $360,412 and $326,392, respectively.


<PAGE>   10
           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 reported amounts of assets and
           liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
           the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
           revenue and expense during the reporting period. Components
           particularly subject to estimation include allowances for sales
           returns, doubtful accounts, inventories, accrued expenses and
           deferred revenue. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

3.         FIXED ASSETS

           The Company is required to comply with certain covenants under the
           remaining note payable, the more restrictive of which require the
           Company to maintain minimum amounts of net worth, liquidity and other
           financial ratios. At December 31, 1997, the Company was not in
           compliance with certain covenant requirements. Accordingly, the
           entire note payable balance has been classified as current at
           December 31, 1997.

           In October 1997, the Company issued 8,363,696 shares of Series D
           redeemable convertible preferred stock ("preferred stock"), $.01 par
           value per share, at a price of $0.12 per share resulting in total
           gross proceeds of $1,003,643. The Series D preferred stock has
           similar rights and characteristics as the Series A, Series B and
           Series C preferred stock, except in the event of liquidation,
           dissolution or winding up of the Company as discussed below.

           The Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock are all
           redeemable on September 30, 2001 (the "Redemption Date") at a
           redemption price equal to original issuance price plus 10% of the
           original issuance price per year since issue. The difference between
           the issuance price and the redemption price is being accreted by a
           charge to accumulated deficit. Total accretion for Series A, Series
           B, Series C and Series D of preferred stock to redemption value was
           $1,691,077 and $1,338,779 during the years ended December 31, 1997
           and 1996, respectively.

           The Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock is
           convertible into common stock, at the option of the holder, at any
           time from the date of issuance to the fifth day prior to the
           Redemption Date, at the original issuance price (the "Conversion
           Price"), subject to certain adjustments, as defined in the preferred
           stock agreements (the "Agreements"). Additionally, such shares are
           automatically converted into shares of common stock upon the
           consummation of an initial public offering of the Company's common
           stock. Such conversion shall take place at the Conversion Price, as
           adjusted per the Agreements, and is subject to certain minimum
           proceeds and per share requirements, which are also defined in the
           Agreements.

           Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stockholders are
           entitled to non-cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, at the
           greater of $.09, $.16, $.225 and $.0108 per share, respectively, per
           annum or the amount paid on any other outstanding shares of the
           Company's stock, to the extent declared by the Board of Directors.
           Through December 31, 1997, no dividends have been declared.

           Preferred stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of
           common stock into which the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D
           preferred stock could be converted. Such holders shall have full
           voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the
           holders of common stock.


<PAGE>   13

           In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
           Company, the holders of Series D preferred stock shall be entitled to
           receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the
           assets of the Company to the holders of the Series A, Series B or
           Series C preferred stock and common stock, an amount per share equal
           to the sum of $0.12 for each outstanding share of Series D preferred
           stock, plus an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on each
           share, subject to certain adjustments, as defined in the Agreements.
           After the distribution to the Series D preferred stockholders, the
           remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to the
           stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the Series A,
           Series B and Series C preferred stock and common stock, pro rata,
           based on the number of shares of common stock on an as-converted
           basis held by each.

           The following table summarizes activity of the Company's redeemable
           convertible preferred stock for the years ended December 31, 1997 and

6.         STOCK OPTION PLAN

           During 1993, the Company adopted the Equity Incentive Plan (the
           "Plan"), which allows for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified
           stock options to employees and directors 



<PAGE>   14

           and certain consultants. Under the Plan, the Company may issue up to
           7,005,500 shares of common stock. Incentive stock options granted
           under this Plan must have an exercise price equal to or greater than
           the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of
           grant, and vest at a rate not to exceed ten years.

           Subject to the terms noted above, the Board of Directors is
           authorized to designate the options granted under the Plan, the
           number of shares covered by each option, the option term, exercise
           dates and the exercise price at the date of grant.

           On November 21, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors implemented an
           exchange/repricing program for options previously issued under the
           Plan, whereby holders of certain stock options were offered the
           opportunity to cancel certain existing options and receive a grant of
           new options at the then current fair market value. Under this
           program, the Company cancelled 1,546,500 stock options with exercise
           prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.20 per share and granted 3,589,000
           options with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The new options
           granted were subject to the same vesting schedule as the previous
           options.

           Activity under the Plan is set forth in the table below:

           Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value of the
           options granted to employees at the grant date consistent with the
           provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss for the years
           ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 would have increased by $21,601 and
           $13,299, respectively. Because options vest over several years and
           additional option grants are expected to be made in future years, the
           pro forma results for 1997 and 1996 are not representative of pro
           forma results for future years.

           For the purposes of pro forma disclosure, the fair value of each
           option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the minimum
           value method option-pricing model with the following assumptions for
           grants in the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996: no dividend
           yield; no volatility; risk-free interest rates of 5.8% for 1997 and
           6.1% for 1996; and expected option terms of 5 years.

7.       INCOME TAXES

           Deferred tax assets consist of the following:

           The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of
           the deferred tax assets at December 31, 1997 and 1996 since the
           realization of these future benefits cannot be reasonably assured at
           this time. If the Company achieves profitability, a significant
           portion of these deferred tax assets could be available to offset
           future income taxes.

           The expected U.S. federal income tax benefit determined by applying
           the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax loss for the
           years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 differs from the U.S. income
           tax benefit in the financial statements primarily due to increases in
           the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

           At December 31, 1997, the Company has net operating loss and research
           and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $15,618,000
           and $742,000, respectively, available to reduce future federal and
           state taxable income and income taxes payable. These credits expire
           from 2008 to 2012.

           Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, should certain
           substantial changes in the Company's ownership occur, the amount of
           net operating loss carryforwards available annually to offset future
           taxable income may be limited. The amount of this potential annual
           limitation is determined based upon the Company's value prior to any
           ownership changes taking place.


8.         RELATED PARTIES

           During 1997 and 1996, the Company executed software licensing and
           royalty agreements with a preferred stockholder of the Company. The
           Agreements provide for certain minimum and per unit royalties to be
           paid to and paid by the Company.

9.         COMMITMENTS

           The Company leases all facilities under operating lease agreements.
           The Company leases certain equipment under noncancellable operating
           lease agreements. Total rent expense under noncancellable operating
           leases was approximately $190,916 and $166,293 for the years ended
           December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1997, no
           operating lease agreements had noncancellable terms in excess of one
           year.

           Company's Articles of Organization. In connection with the agreement
           and in satisfaction of a previous corporate commitment, 829,675
           shares of Series D preferred stock were issued at a price of $0.12

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations


(a)        The pro forma adjustments represent amortization of goodwill of
           $74,000 and $278,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
           the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively, assuming the
           transaction had occurred on January 1, 1997.

(b)        The pro forma adjustment represents $17,879,000 of acquired
           in-process research and development and other acquisition related
           costs. These costs are excluded from the pro forma results of
           operations as they are not expected to have a continuing impact on
           RealNetworks results of operations.

(c)        Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by
           dividing the pro forma net loss attributable to common shareholders
           by the pro forma weighted average number of common shares
           outstanding.

           The following table reconciles shares used to compute historical
           basic and diluted net loss per share to shares used to compute pro
           forma basic and diluted net loss per share:

</TABLE>

           Excluded from the computation of shares used to compute pro forma
           basic and diluted net loss per share are approximately 220,000 shares
           of RealNetworks common stock issued in connection with the
           acquisition that were placed in escrow to secure indemnification
           obligations of former shareholders of Vivo.
