1.   Basis of presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include
all  information  and footnote  disclosures  required  under  Canadian or United
States generally accepted accounting  principles.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments  (consisting  solely of normal  recurring  accruals)  considered
necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  position,  results  of
operations  and  cash  flows  as at  September  30,  2000  and for  all  periods
presented,  have  been  included.   Interim  results  for  the  three-month  and
nine-month  periods ended September 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative of
the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

     The unaudited  consolidated  balance  sheet,  statement of  operations  and
deficit  and  condensed  statement  of cash flows  include  the  accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned  subsidiary  company,  Infowave USA Inc., which was
incorporated on July 1, 2000.  These statements have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian  generally  accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information.  Except as disclosed in note 8, these financial  statements comply,
in all material respects,  with generally accepted accounting  principles in the
United States.

     These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements  and notes thereto  included in the  Company's  annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1999. In addition to the accounting
policies stated in the annual  financial  statements of the Company  reported on
Form 10-K, the Company's  accounting  policy for advertising is that advertising
costs are expensed in the period the first associated advertising takes place.

2.   Loss per share

     Basic loss per share has been calculated  using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding including shares held in escrow. Fully diluted loss
per share amounts have not been presented,  as the effect of outstanding options
and warrants is anti-dilutive.

3.   Discontinued operations

     Effective August 31, 2000 the Company  completed the sale of the net assets
and  business  operations  of its  Imaging  Division  for a net  sale  price  of
$1,322,774.  One million  dollars of the sale price was  received on closing and
the balance was received in November 2000. The  disposition  was recognized as a
discontinued operation at March 31, 2000.

Corporate Summary

During the third  quarter of 2000,  Infowave  continued to move forward with the
implementation  of  its  wireless  business   strategy.   The  Company  achieved
significant product,  market and business milestones which set the stage for the
future growth of the Company.

The  research  and  development  team  continued  to make  tangible  progress on
Infowave's product and technology plan. During the quarter,  the Company shipped
an upgraded  version of the Wireless  Business Engine that included new features
for enhanced  performance,  usability,  and enterprise  scalability,  as well as
support for the CDMA and GSM wireless  networks.  The Company also completed the
first contract  milestone in its development  agreement with Intel  Corporation,
and management  expects to achieve the second  milestone prior to the end of the
fourth quarter.

In September  2000, the marketing team launched a major branding  initiative and
advertising campaign.  This campaign includes advertisements in major magazines,
newspapers, billboards, and online media across the United States commencing in



                                       9
<PAGE>

October  2000.  The focus of the campaign is to build  awareness of the Infowave
brand with corporate  executives and  technology  managers.  As at September 30,
2000, the Corporation had prepaid $3.39 million,  or  approximately  75%, of the
expenditures associated with this initiative.

During the third quarter,  Infowave  implemented a new product pricing  strategy
that includes revised per-seat pricing for individual  Wireless  Business Engine
modules,  as well as a "suite"  offering  for the complete  Infowave  enterprise
solution.  Initial  market  reaction to the revised  offering has been positive,
with the Infowave Suite being chosen by 56% of new enterprise  customers  during
the quarter. The Company also experienced strong initial demand for the Exchange
Connector  (Web  Phones),  a new feature  introduced  in June 2000 that provides
wireless access to Microsoft  Exchange from the new generation of web phones and
Palm devices  equipped with a web browser.  The Exchange  Connector (Web Phones)
was selected by 28% of new enterprise customers in the third quarter of 2000.

The Company continued to acquire and expand  relationships with key partners and
resellers in the third quarter.  In September,  Infowave announced a partnership
agreement with inflightonline who will offer a customized version of Symmetry to
airline  passengers  to enable  them to  receive  onboard  access  to  Microsoft
Exchange(TM).  The marketing team also continued to work with Compaq Corporation
to prepare for the deployment of the Infowave  solution to the Compaq  worldwide
reseller channel.

Effective  August  31,  2000  the  Company  completed  the  sale of its  Imaging
Division.  The total  proceeds  received on the sale were $1.32  million,  which
represented a slight  premium over the book value of the  Division.  The Company
received  one million  dollars of the  proceeds on closing,  and the balance was
received on November 2, 2000. Through conscious controlling of the operations of
the Division prior to the completion of the sale,  management was able to reduce
the cash used in the operations of the Division to amounts less than  previously
estimated,  resulting  in an  accounting  gain on  disposition  of  discontinued
operations for the quarter.

Quarter ended September 30, 2000

The Company  achieved  revenues  of $0.51  million  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  representing  an increase of 410% over  revenues of $0.10
million during the third quarter of 1999. Third quarter revenue in 2000 included
software  license and  recurring  service  fees of $0.10  million and  technical
service fees of $0.39 million.

Gross margins in the third  quarter of 2000 were 97%,  compared with 100% in the
comparable 1999 period.  Management  expects that gross margins will continue to
fluctuate between quarters until the product mix normalizes.

Research and development expenses of $0.85 million were unchanged from the prior
quarter  of 2000 and  increased  255%  compared  to $0.24  million  in the third
quarter of 1999. Research and development  salaries of $0.65 million represented
an increase of 12% over the second  quarter of 2000 and an increase of 248% over
the third quarter of 1999. Research and development expenses were unchanged from
the prior quarter due to



                                       10
<PAGE>

the fact that increased  salary expense was offset by decreased  recruiting fees
and reduced  contract labour costs.  The increase from the third quarter of 1999
is due to increased employee headcount.  Research and development  headcount was
58 at September 30, 2000 compared to 53 at June 30, 2000 and 27 at September 30,
1999.

Total  sales and  marketing  expenses  for the third  quarter of 2000 were $2.29
million,  representing  an increase of 46% compared to expenses of $1.57 million
in the second  quarter of 2000 and an increase  of 508%  compared to expenses of
$0.38  million  in the  third  quarter  of 1999.  Sales and  marketing  employee
headcount increased to 53 at September 30, 2000 compared to 49 at March 31, 2000
and 20 at September  30, 1999.  Sales and  marketing  salaries of $0.90  million
represented an increase of 32% over the second quarter of 2000 and 504% over the
third quarter of 1999. Other increases in sales and marketing  expenses were due
to increased travel,  communication costs, and trade show attendance, as well as
to fees paid to external agencies for various programs including the redesign of
the Infowave web site,  the  development  of the  corporate  branding  strategy,
market research and public relations.

General and  administration  costs totaled $0.83 million in the third quarter of
2000 versus $0.65 million in the second quarter of 2000 and $0.44 million in the
third quarter of 1999.  The  increases  over prior periods are largely due to an
increase  in  employee  headcount  as well as the fact  that the  prior  periods
included an allocation of some general and  administrative  costs to the Imaging
Division.  General and  administrative  headcount  was 24 at September  30, 2000
compared to 22 at June 30, 2000 and 10 at September 30, 1999. Other increases in
general  and  administrative  costs are  attributable  to  increased  legal fees
related to  increased  business  development  activity  and  increased  employee
recruiting costs.

Depreciation and  amortization  costs totaled $0.19 million in the third quarter
of 2000  compared to $0.17  million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and $0.05
million in the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999.  These  increases are due to
increased  expenditures  on computer  equipment  and  facilities  to support the
increase in employee  headcount.

Interest income increased to $0.28 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared
to $0.23  million in the second  quarter of 2000 and $0.05  million in the third
quarter of 1999. The increase is due to higher average cash balances held during
the period.

Nine months ended September 30, 2000

The Company earned revenues of $0.75 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000,  representing  a 199%  increase over revenues of $0.25 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. Revenue for 2000 included software license
and recurring  service fees of $0.23 million and technical service fees of $0.41
million.  The  remaining  revenue  in 2000  related to  hardware  sales of $0.11
million.

Gross  margins in the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 were 82%,  compared
with 91% in the prior  year.  The change in gross  margins  is due  largely to a
one-time sale of redundant hardware inventory in the second quarter of 2000.



                                       11
<PAGE>

Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $9.55
million  compared to $2.65 million in the comparable  1999 period.  Research and
development  expenses of $2.32 million  increased 203% compared to $0.77 million
in the comparable 1999 period due to increased employee  headcount.  Total sales
and  marketing  expenses  for first  nine  months of 2000  were  $4.89  million,
compared  to $0.93  million in the first nine months of 1999.  This  increase is
primarily due to increased employee headcount and marketing initiatives. General
and  administration  costs  totaled  $1.90  million  in the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 2000 versus  $0.83  million in the  comparable  1999  period.  In
addition  to employee  headcount,  the  increase  in general and  administrative
expenses is due to the fact that a portion of general and  administrative  costs
had  previously  been  allocated  to  the  Imaging  Division.  Depreciation  and
amortization  costs  totaled  $0.45  million  in the first  nine  months of 2000
compared  to $0.13  million  in the first nine  months of 1999 due to  increased
expenditures  on computer  equipment  and  facilities to support the increase in
employee headcount.

Interest  income  increased to $0.56 million in nine months ended  September 30,
2000 compared to $0.07 million in comparable  1999 period due to higher  average
cash balances held during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Infowave's  cash and  short-term  investment  position  was $13.50  million  and
working  capital was $16.85  million at September  30,  2000,  compared to $4.36
million and $6.02 million,  respectively,  at December 31, 1999. These increases
were the result of $19.0 million raised through the issuance of special warrants
in April as well as from $3.58 million raised through the exercise of previously
issued stock purchase warrants and employee stock options.  The Corporation used
$12.23 million in operations during the first nine months of 2000, primarily due
to the loss for the period and the  prepayment of $3.39  million of  advertising
expenses.  The  effect  of the loss on cash  flows  was  offset  partially  by a
decrease of $0.85 million in accounts  receivable from cash collections from the
Imaging Division prior to the divestiture.  The accounts  receivable  balance at
September  30, 2000  includes  trade  receivables  of $0.18  million,  Goods and
Services  Tax  refunds  of $0.08  million  and $0.32  million  representing  the
remaining proceeds due from the sale of the Imaging Division.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
2000 was $7.73 million, which consisted of $6.70 million used in the purchase of
short term  investments  and $2.36  million of capital  acquisitions,  offset by
$1.32  million of proceeds  from the sale of the Imaging  Division.  The capital
acquisitions  during  the  period  included  the  purchase  of $1.35  million in
computer equipment and $0.52 million in office equipment.  The majority of these
capital acquisitions are attributable to staff increases;  the relocation of the
Vancouver office to new premises within the existing  building;  and the move of
the Corporation's Seattle office to a permanent location.

At September 30, 2000 the Corporation's  primary sources of liquidity  consisted
of cash and short-term  investments and an uncommitted line of credit of Cdn$2.0
million,  which is secured against the short-term  investments.  The Corporation
believes  that the  total  amount  of cash and  short-term  investments  will be
sufficient to meet its  anticipated  cash needs for working  capital and capital
expenditures  through  2001.  Thereafter,  depending on the  development  of the
business, the



                                       12
<PAGE>

Corporation  may need to raise  additional  capital for working capital or other
expenses.  The Corporation may also encounter  opportunities for acquisitions or
other  business  initiatives  that  require  significant  cash  commitments,  or
unanticipated  problems  or  expenses  that could  result in a  requirement  for
additional  cash before that time.  There can be no  assurance  that  additional
financing  will be  available  on  terms  favorable  to the  Corporation  or its
shareholders,  or on any terms at all. The  inability  to obtain such  financing
would have a material  adverse impact on the  Corporation's  operations.  To the
extent that such financing is available,  it may result in substantial  dilution
to existing shareholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Corporation  conducts the majority of its  transactions in Canadian  dollars
and  therefore  uses the Canadian  dollar as its base  currency of  measurement.
However,  most  of the  Corporation's  revenues  and  some of its  expenses  are
denominated  in United  States  dollars  which results in an exposure to foreign
currency gains and losses on the resulting US dollar denominated cash,  accounts
receivable,  and  accounts  payable  balances.  As of September  30,  2000,  the
Corporation  has not engaged in any  derivative  hedging  activities  on foreign
currency  transactions  and/or  balances.  Although  foreign  currency gains and
losses have not  historically  been  material,  fluctuations  in exchange  rates
between the United States dollar and other foreign  currencies  and the Canadian
dollar could materially affect the Corporation's  results of operations.  To the
extent that the  Corporation  implements  hedging  activities in the future with
respect to foreign  currency  exchange  transactions,  there can be no assurance
that the Corporation will be successful in such hedging activities.

While the  Corporation  believes that  inflation has not had a material  adverse
effect on its results of  operations,  there can be no assurance  that inflation
will  not  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Corporation's  results  of
operations in the future.
