                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

    YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY TOGETHER WITH THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THE NOTES TO THOSE
STATEMENTS AND THE OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

                              MOLDFLOW CORPORATION

    We believe we are the world's leading developer of software solutions that
enhance the design, analysis and manufacture of injection molded plastic parts.
We have developed a suite of software applications that address the difficulties
and variables inherent in the design and production of injection molded plastic
parts. We believe we have the widest and most advanced range of software
solutions and proprietary technology to address the problems that arise in each
phase of the process of designing and manufacturing injection molded plastic
parts. Our products enable our customers to speed their products to market,
decrease manufacturing costs and reduce costly design and manufacturing errors
with an automated and integrated process. Our products are used by more than
2,200 customers at more than 2,500 sites in over 50 countries around the world.
Representative customers include Baxter International, DaimlerChrysler, DuPont,
Fuji Xerox, Hewlett-Packard, Lego, Lucent Technologies, Motorola, Nokia and
Samsung.

    The use of plastics as a manufacturing material is widespread because
plastic parts can be formed into an almost limitless number of shapes, are
relatively inexpensive to manufacture in volume and are easy to assemble.
Injection molding, the dominant method by which plastic parts are produced, is
extremely complex due to the inherent difficulties and the many variables
encountered in transforming various molten plastic materials into sophisticated
part shapes. Common consumer products that make extensive use of injection
molded plastic parts include cellular telephones, personal digital assistants,
pagers, automobiles, televisions, cameras, toys and personal computers. As
product life cycles shrink and the importance of time to market increases,
successful manufacturers in these industries must design and build products
quickly. In particular, product delays or high product defect rates for
manufacturers in rapidly changing industries can result in significant economic
and opportunity costs.

    We believe a substantial portion of companies producing injection molded
plastic parts continue to employ trial-and-error at most steps of the design and
production process. We believe this condition exists today primarily because of
the limited availability of specific software tools which are capable of
addressing many of the complex and unique issues involved in designing injection
molded plastic parts and their molds. Further, the trend toward outsourcing and
supply chain management across multiple geographic time zones has exacerbated
the inefficiencies and costs occurring in the design and manufacturing of
plastic parts.

    Prior to 1997, our products were designed to be used by highly specialized
engineers conducting in-depth plastics simulation. Since then, we have developed
two new product lines that can be used by design engineers and injection molding
machine operators who do not specialize in plastic part design. We believe a
large untapped market exists for these new product lines. In particular, we
believe that up to 750,000 injection molding machines are currently in use and
are being operated without integrated software solutions that can analyze and
improve the efficiency of their production.

    We intend to exploit the universal accessibility of the Internet to further
grow our business. For example, we are currently configuring our products for
use in an application service provider or ASP model, which would permit our
customers to use our products on demand over the Internet. We also intend to
create an Internet portal to enable our customers to use our production set-up
and monitoring product to remotely monitor the injection molding manufacturing
process, including machine efficiency and production data, from anywhere in the
world. We believe this global

                                       3
<PAGE>
availability of software solutions addressing each stage of the plastics product
development process will provide an environment for continuous collaboration
across all participants in a supply chain for every plastic part made.

    We operate facilities in nine countries. We sell our products worldwide
primarily through our direct sales force in North America, Europe and Asia and,
to a lesser extent, through original equipment manufacturers and distributors.
We have distribution arrangements with Parametric Technology Corporation,
Structural Dynamics Research Corporation or SDRC, Unigraphics Solutions and
CoCreate and resellers of products of SolidWorks, a subsidiary of Dassault
Systemes, and Autodesk. Our research and development efforts involve
approximately 50 research and development personnel located at our United
States, Australia and United Kingdom facilities. As a result, our research and
development continues on an around-the-clock basis.

    On February 11, 2000, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
C-Mold, a developer of software solutions for the design and analysis of
injection molded plastic parts headquartered in Ithaca, New York. C-Mold has
developed software that is complementary to our current product offerings in the
areas of part design and in-depth plastics simulation. In particular, we believe
the acquisition of C-Mold will enhance our development capabilities and enable
us to broaden our product lines into adjacent markets more quickly. C-Mold had
$7.7 million in revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. The
purchase price will be $11.0 million in cash. We anticipate that the acquisition
will close on or prior to May 31, 2000. However, our acquisition of C-Mold may
not be completed.

                            ------------------------

    We were reincorporated in Delaware as Moldflow Corporation on January 15,
1997. From 1994 to 1997, we existed as an Australian corporation under the name
Moldflow International Pty. Ltd. From 1980 to 1994, we existed as an Australian
corporation under the name Moldflow Pty. Ltd. Our principal executive offices
are located at 91 Hartwell Avenue, Lexington, MA 02421. Our telephone number at
that location is (781) 674-0085 and our Internet address is www.moldflow.com.

as adjusted balance sheet data at January 1, 2000 reflects the automatic
conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into an aggregate of
5,488,450 shares of common stock and the exercise of the outstanding warrant to
purchase 20,833 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering, as
well as the sale of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering,
assuming an initial public offering price of $13.00 per share and after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering
expenses. The pro forma combined as adjusted balance sheet data further reflects
the acquisition of C-Mold as if it had occurred on January 1, 2000.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE PURCHASING OUR COMMON STOCK.

IF WE EXPERIENCE DELAYS IN INTRODUCING NEW PRODUCTS OR IF OUR EXISTING OR NEW
PRODUCTS DO NOT ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE, WE MAY LOSE REVENUE.

    Our industry is characterized by:

    - rapid technological advances,

    - evolving industry standards,

    - changes in end-user requirements,

    - intense competition,

    - technically complex products,

    - frequent new product introductions, and

    - evolving offerings by product manufacturers.

    We believe our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to
anticipate or adapt to these factors and to offer on a timely basis products
that meet customer demands. For example, the introduction of new products and
services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards
can render our existing products obsolete. The development of new or enhanced
products is a complex and uncertain process requiring the anticipation of
technological and market trends. We may experience design, manufacturing,
marketing and other difficulties that could delay or prevent our development,
introduction or marketing of new products and enhancements and result in
unexpected expenses.

    Our growth and profitability also will depend upon our ability to expand the
use and market penetration of our existing product lines as well as new products
we introduce. Market acceptance of our products will depend in part on our
ability to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness, ease of use and technological
advantages of our products over competing products.

BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING INTERNET-ENABLED
PRODUCTS, WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS DEVELOPING INTERNET-ENABLED PRODUCTS
AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DEVELOP THESE PRODUCTS.

    Our business strategy includes providing additional Internet-related
functions to our products to exploit the trend toward worldwide collaborative
product development and manufacturing and to explore new pricing and packaging
strategies made possible by the Internet. We have limited experience in
developing and marketing Internet-enabled products. We may incur significant
costs developing Internet-enabled products and may be unable to capitalize on
the rapid transformation of the Internet as a computing platform, communications
vehicle and distribution channel.

IF INTERNET USAGE DOES NOT CONTINUE TO GROW, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY
IMPLEMENT OUR INTERNET STRATEGY.

    Widespread use of the Internet is a relatively recent phenomenon. The future
success of our Internet strategy depends, in part, on the continued development
of the Internet as a viable commercial medium. We cannot be certain that the
Internet will continue to be developed or accessible for free or at nominal cost
to users. In this event, our future growth may be adversely impacted.

                                       7
<PAGE>
WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY ACHIEVING SALES TARGETS, MAKING TIMELY PRODUCT
RELEASES OR OTHERWISE OPERATING OUR BUSINESS IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT OR
RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL.

    In order to grow our business, we will have to hire additional employees in
various countries. Our future success, therefore, will depend, in part, on
attracting and retaining additional qualified management, marketing and
technical personnel. We do not know whether we will be successful in hiring or
retaining qualified personnel. Competition for personnel throughout the software
industry is intense.

IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS, WE COULD
INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES AND WE COULD BE PREVENTED FROM OFFERING SPECIFIC
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

    Our products include proprietary intellectual property. We may become
subject to claims that we infringe on the proprietary rights of others. In the
United States, a significant number of software and business method patents have
been issued over the past decade and the holders of these patents have been
actively seeking out potential infringers. If any element of our products or
services violates third-party proprietary rights, we might not be able to obtain
licenses on commercially reasonable terms to continue offering our products or
services without substantial re-engineering and any effort to undertake such
re-engineering might not be successful. In addition, any claim of infringement
could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if
the claim is invalid, and could distract our management from our business. Any
judgment against us could require us to pay substantial damages and could also
include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from offering
our products and services.

WE MAY LOSE SALES TO COMPETITORS IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT IMPORTANT
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

    Our ability to compete effectively against other companies in our industry
will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary rights in our
technology. We may be unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our
technology. While we have attempted to safeguard and maintain our proprietary
rights, we do not know whether we have been or will be completely successful in
doing so.

    We rely, in part, on contractual provisions to protect our trade secrets and
proprietary knowledge. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have
adequate remedies for any breach. Our trade secrets may also become known
without breach of such agreements or may be independently developed by
competitors. In addition, foreign countries, including some of those in which we
do business, may reduce or limit the protection of our intellectual property
rights.

OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RISKS.

    The majority of our employees, including sales, support and research and
development personnel, are located outside of the United States. Conducting
business outside of the United States is subject to numerous risks, including:

    - decreased liquidity resulting from longer accounts receivable collection
      cycles typical of foreign countries,

    - decreased revenue on foreign sales resulting from possible foreign
      currency exchange and conversion issues,

    - lower productivity resulting from difficulties managing our sales, support
      and research and development operations across many countries,

                                       8
<PAGE>
    - lost revenue resulting from difficulties associated with enforcing
      agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems,

    - lost revenue resulting from the imposition by foreign governments of trade
      protection measures, and

    - higher cost of sales resulting from import or export licensing
      requirements.

OUR PENDING ACQUISITION OF C-MOLD AS WELL AS ANY FUTURE ACQUISITIONS AND
STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS MAY RESULT IN LOST REVENUE CAUSED BY BUSINESS
DISRUPTIONS AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES CAUSED BY THE DISTRACTION OF OUR
MANAGEMENT.

    On February 11, 2000, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
Advanced CAE Technology, Inc., a software company doing business as C-Mold. We
may not complete the acquisition. The value of C-Mold may not be greater than or
equal to the purchase price. If we are unable to effectively integrate C-Mold's
products, personnel and systems, our business and operating results will likely
suffer. We expect this integration to place a significant burden on our
management team. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will realize any of the
benefits or strategic objectives we are seeking to obtain by acquiring C-Mold.
In connection with accounting for the acquisition of C-Mold, we will record a
significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, the amortization of
which will adversely affect our results of operations in future periods.

    Additionally, we may engage in other acquisitions and strategic
relationships in the future. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition
candidates, and, if we do identify suitable candidates, we may not be able to
make such acquisitions on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we acquire
another company, we will only receive the anticipated benefits if we
successfully integrate the acquired business into our existing business in a
timely and non-disruptive manner. We may have to devote a significant amount of
time and management and financial resources to do so. Even with this investment
of management and financial resources, an acquisition may not produce the
revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated. If we fail to
integrate the acquired business effectively or if key employees of that business
leave, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition would be jeopardized. The
time, capital, management and other resources spent on an acquisition that
failed to meet our expectations could cause our business and financial condition
to be materially and adversely affected. In addition, acquisitions can involve
non-recurring charges and amortization of significant amounts of goodwill and
other acquired intangible assets that could adversely affect our results of
operations.

WE COULD SUFFER MONETARY DAMAGES, INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS, LOSE OUR PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT ADVANTAGE AND FACE ENHANCED COMPETITION AS A RESULT OF PENDING
LITIGATION INVOLVING A FORMER EMPLOYEE AND ONE OF OUR COMPETITORS.

    We are pursuing a lawsuit against both a former Moldflow employee and C-Mold
alleging theft and misappropriation of some of our trade secrets. In response to
our lawsuit, C-Mold filed counterclaims against us alleging antitrust
violations, defamation and trade libel and tortious interference. We may suffer
adverse consequences as a result of this lawsuit or the counterclaims which we
cannot now predict. If the lawsuit or the counterclaims are decided against us,
we could suffer monetary damages, lose our product development advantage and
face enhanced competition. Continuation of the lawsuit or the counterclaims will
result in additional litigation expenses. This litigation is currently being
held in abeyance in connection with our pending acquisition of C-Mold. If the
acquisition is completed, this litigation will be dismissed with prejudice by
the agreement of all parties. If for any reason our acquisition of C-Mold is not
completed, we expect that the litigation will resume.

                                       9
<PAGE>
WE HAVE MORE LIMITED FINANCIAL AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS
AND POTENTIAL COMPETITORS AND MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AGAINST
THEM.

    We operate in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to
successfully compete. Companies in our industry and entities in similar
industries could decide to focus on the development of software solutions for
the design, analysis and manufacturing of injection molded plastic parts. Many
of these entities have substantially greater financial, research and
development, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. Increased
competition may result in price reductions, reduced profitability and loss of
market share.

OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS AND AS A
RESULT PERIOD-TO-PERIOD COMPARISONS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ARE NOT
NECESSARILY MEANINGFUL AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS INDICATORS OF FUTURE
PERFORMANCE.

    We have experienced significant fluctuations in our results of operations on
a quarterly basis. In particular, we have historically experienced lower revenue
in our first fiscal quarter as compared with the preceding quarter as a result
of seasonal factors, which decrease demand for our products in this quarter. For
instance, our total revenue in the first quarter of the current fiscal year was
$5.2 million as compared with total revenue of $5.6 million in the immediately
preceding fourth quarter. We expect to continue to experience significant
fluctuations in our future quarterly results of operations due to a variety of
factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:

    - seasonal slowdowns, in particular, in our first fiscal quarter, in many of
      the markets in which we sell our products,

    - developments in the litigation that we are pursuing against our former
      employee and our competitor, and in the nature and extent of proceedings
      and findings related to the counterclaims pending against us,

    - the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures, including costs relating
      to the expansion of our operations and infrastructure,

    - introductions of new services or enhancements by us and our competitors,

    - changes in our and our competitors' pricing policies,

    - currency fluctuations, and

    - timing and integration of acquisitions, including our pending acquisition
      of C-Mold.

WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY MANAGING THE EXPANSION OF OUR OPERATIONS, WHICH COULD
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS OR DELAYED BILLING OR COLLECTION OF
REVENUE.

    The implementation of our business strategy could result in a period of
rapid growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations. In
addition, if we complete the acquisition of C-Mold, we will be further expanding
the number of employees and facilities. Rapid expansion could place a
significant strain on our senior management team and our operational, financial
and other resources as we attempt to expand our operations in multiple locations
around the world. We may have difficulty effectively managing the budgeting,
forecasting, global hiring and other business control issues presented by such a
rapid expansion. This could, among other things, adversely affect our
relationships with our customers and result in delays in billing and collections
of revenue from our customers and increased costs.

                                       10
<PAGE>
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN AND LEVERAGE OUR STRATEGIC ALLIANCES, WE MAY BE
UNABLE TO GROW AS PLANNED.

    We are, and will continue to be, dependent to some extent on distribution
arrangements and strategic partnerships with third-parties because we sell a
portion of our products through these third parties. In addition, we may sell
other products through third-party distributors in the future. These third
parties may not fulfill their agreements with us. In particular, third-party
distributors may breach or terminate their distribution agreements with us or
fail to devote sufficient time and resources to successfully commercialize, or
increase sales of, our products. As a result, our revenues from these
arrangements depend, in part, on third parties' sales of our products.

DISRUPTION OF OPERATIONS AT OUR MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA FACILITY COULD INTERFERE
WITH OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION CYCLES.

    A significant portion of our computer equipment, source code and personnel,
including critical resources dedicated to research and development, is presently
located at a single operating facility in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The
occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated catastrophe at this
facility could cause interruptions in our operations and services. Extensive or
multiple interruptions in our operations at this facility could severely disrupt
our product development.

OUR MOLDFLOW PLASTICS XPERT (MPX) PRODUCT LINE MAY LEAD TO PRODUCT LIABILITY
CLAIMS AGAINST US.

    We have designed our Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX) product line to be
installed directly on our customers' injection molding machines and to
automatically adjust the operation of these machines. As a result, it is
possible that our customers may claim that our product interfered with the
proper operation of their machines and may seek reimbursement for consequential
and other damages from us. Although we expressly disclaim any liability for
consequential or other damages in connection with our sale of the MPX product,
this disclaimer may not protect us from claims for damages from our customers
and these claims may adversely affect our relationships with our customers or
our reputation generally. In addition, our insurance coverage limits may not be
adequate to protect us against any product liability claims that arise. This
insurance is expensive and may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS WILL HAVE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER MATTERS REQUIRING
A STOCKHOLDER VOTE.

    Upon the closing of this offering, funds associated with Ampersand Ventures
will own approximately 44.6% of our outstanding common stock. Ampersand will,
therefore, have the ability to exert significant influence over our board of
directors and the outcome of stockholder votes. Furthermore, officers, directors
and their affiliates, including Ampersand, will own approximately 60.6% of our
outstanding common stock. If all of these stockholders were to vote together as
a group, they would have the ability to elect our board of directors and control
the outcome of stockholder votes.

AN ACTIVE TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK MAY NOT DEVELOP, WHICH MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE.

    Before this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock.
Although we expect our common stock to be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market,
an active trading market for our shares may not develop or be sustained
following this offering. You may not be able to resell your shares at prices
equal to or greater than the initial public offering price. The initial public

                                       11
<PAGE>
offering price will be determined through negotiations between us and the
underwriters and may not be indicative of the market price for these shares
following this offering. You should read "Underwriting" for a discussion of the
factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price.

BECAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE IS LIKELY TO BE HIGHLY VOLATILE, OUR STOCK PRICE COULD
EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL DECLINES AND OUR MANAGEMENT'S ATTENTION MAY BE DIVERTED
FROM MORE PRODUCTIVE TASKS.

    The stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations. Many factors may cause the market price for our common
stock to decline, perhaps substantially, following this offering, including:

    - a decrease in the demand for our common stock,

    - revenues and operating results failing to meet the expectations of
      securities analysts or investors in any quarter,

    - downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates or changes in general
      market conditions,

    - technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies,

    - investor perception of our industry or our prospects, and

    - general technology or economic trends.

    In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price
of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. We
may be involved in a securities class action litigation in the future. Such
litigation often results in substantial costs and a diversion of management's
attention and resources and could harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR PUBLIC SALE AFTER THIS OFFERING COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
STOCK PRICE.

    The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of
shares by our existing stockholders after this offering, or the perception that
such sales will occur. These sales also might make it difficult for us to sell
equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem
appropriate. After this offering, we will have 9,081,496 shares of common stock
outstanding. All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradeable.
Of the remaining shares, over 99% are subject to 180-day lock-up agreements. At
least 6,006,048 additional shares will generally be available for sale in the
public market 180 days after the date of this prospectus. In addition,
approximately 180 days after this offering, we intend to register
2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our 2000 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan and promptly following this offering we intend to register
500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our Employee Stock Purchase
Plan.

WE WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION AS TO THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING
AND MAY USE THE PROCEEDS IN A MANNER WITH WHICH YOU DISAGREE.

    Our board of directors and management will have broad discretion over the
use of the net proceeds of this offering. You may disagree with the judgment of
our board of directors and management regarding the application of the proceeds
of this offering.

                                       12
<PAGE>
PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF OUR CHARTER AND BY-LAWS MAY MAKE A TAKEOVER
MORE DIFFICULT.

    Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and in the
Delaware corporate law may make it difficult and expensive for a third party to
pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt which is opposed by
our management and board of directors. Public stockholders who might desire to
participate in such a transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. We also
have a staggered board of directors which makes it difficult for stockholders to
change the composition of the board of directors in any one year. These
anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public
stockholders to change our management and board of directors.

BECAUSE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS, YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM AN INVESTMENT
IN OUR COMMON STOCK ONLY IF IT APPRECIATES IN VALUE.

    We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We
currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion
of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. In addition, our existing credit facility does not permit us to pay cash
dividends. As a result, the success of your investment in our common stock will
depend entirely upon its future appreciation. There is no guaranty that our
common stock will appreciate in value after the offering or even maintain the
price at which you purchased your shares.

WE MAY LOSE REVENUE AS A RESULT OF DISRUPTIONS BROUGHT ABOUT BY YEAR 2000
PROBLEMS.

    In conducting our business, we rely on computer systems to manage our
business and to serve our customers. Further, all of our products include
computer software or hardware components or both. Year 2000 problems may
adversely affect our operations and increase our costs. Among other things, Year
2000 problems could cause us to:

    - fail to fulfill our contractual obligations with our customers,

    - face substantial claims by our customers and loss of revenue,

    - fail to bill our customers accurately and on a timely basis, and

    - be subject to the inability by customers and others to pay, on a timely
      basis or at all, obligations owed to us.

    Although the effects of any or all of these events are not quantifiable at
this time, any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our
business and operating results.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    We estimate that the net proceeds to us from our sale of 3,000,000 shares of
our common stock in this offering will be approximately $34.8 million, assuming
an initial public offering price of $13.00 per share and after deducting the
underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. If
the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, we estimate that
our net proceeds will be approximately $37.0 million. We intend to use
approximately $11.2 million of our net proceeds to fund our pending acquisition
of C-Mold and related transaction expenses and the remainder for general
corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and any
other acquisitions. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by
selling stockholders in this offering in connection with the exercise of the
over-allotment option.

    Until used, we intend to invest these proceeds in government securities and
other short-term, investment-grade securities.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

    We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We
currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion
of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. In addition, our existing credit facility does not permit us to pay cash
dividends.

                                    DILUTION

    As of January 1, 2000, we had a pro forma net tangible book value of $1.9
million, or $0.32 per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value
per share is equal to our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided
by the number of shares of our outstanding common stock assuming the conversion
of all outstanding preferred stock into common stock and the exercise of the
outstanding warrant to purchase common stock.

    After giving effect to the sale of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock
offered by us at an assumed initial public offering price of $13.00 per share,
and after deducting our underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated
offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value as of January 1, 2000
would have been $36.7 million, or $4.04 per share of common stock. This
represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $3.72
per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $8.96 per
share to new investors in this offering. If the initial public offering price is
higher or lower than $13.00 per share, the dilution to new stockholders will be
higher or lower. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

</TABLE>

    In addition, after giving effect to the acquisition of C-Mold, our pro forma
net tangible book value after this offering as of January 1, 2000 would have
been $28.9 million, or $3.19 per share of common stock.

    The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis as of January 1, 2000,
the number of shares of common stock purchased, the total consideration paid and
the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and new investors in
this offering assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into
common stock and the exercise of the outstanding warrant to purchase common
stock. The table assumes that the initial public offering price will be $13.00.

      options at January 1, 2000 at a weighted average exercise price of $3.35

    - an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares available for future grant under our 2000
      Stock Option and Incentive Plan and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

    To the extent our outstanding options are exercised, new investors may
experience further dilution.

                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

    The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in
conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and the balance sheet data at
June 30, 1998 and 1999 are derived from our audited consolidated financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. The balance sheet data at
June 30, 1997 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements not
included in this prospectus. The statement of operations data for the years
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 and the balance sheet data at June 30, 1995 and
1996 are derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements not
included in this prospectus. The unaudited consolidated financial statements, in
the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited
consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of that data. The interim statement of operations data for the
six-month periods ended January 2, 1999 and January 1, 2000 and the interim
balance sheet data at January 1, 2000 are derived from our unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus
which, in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the

January 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending
June 30, 2000 or any future period. Pro forma net income per common share
reflects the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock
and the exercise of the outstanding warrant into shares of common stock upon
completion of this offering as if such conversion had occurred at the beginning
of the applicable period.

    The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share has
been adjusted retroactively for all periods presented to reflect the
redesignation of our common and preferred stock in March 1998. As a result of
the treatment of this redesignation, we had no common stock outstanding prior to
June 30, 1998 for purposes of computing net income (loss) per common share.
Accordingly, basic net income (loss) per common share was zero for the years
ended June 30, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

OVERVIEW

    Our primary business is the development, sale and support of software
applications for the design and manufacture of plastic injection molded parts.
Our products allow a product designer or engineer to simulate the manufacture of
a plastic part to determine and maintain the optimal part design and
manufacturing conditions throughout the manufacturing process.

    We develop software products internally and through cooperative research
relationships with a number of public and private educational and research
organizations around the world. Prior to June 1997, our products consisted
solely of our Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI) series for in-depth mold design.
Since then, we have introduced two new product lines. Our Moldflow Plastics
Advisers (MPA) series for part design and high level mold design was introduced
in fiscal 1997 and our Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX) series for production
set-up and production monitoring was introduced in fiscal 1999. We have also
introduced additional modules of our MPI product series since June 1997.

    We sell our products and services internationally through our direct sales
operations in nine countries. In addition, we sell through a network of
distributors and value-added resellers and through distribution arrangements
with developers of other design software products.

    We generate revenue from two principal sources:

    - license fees for our packaged software products, and

    - services revenue derived from maintenance and support services related to
      our software products, consulting, training and material testing.


    SOFTWARE LICENSES REVENUE.  Typically, our customers pay an up-front,
one-time fee for a perpetual license of our software products. The amount of the
fee depends upon the number and type of software modules purchased and the
number of the customers' employees or other users who can access the software
product simultaneously. Sales of our MPA product are subject to the terms of a
"shrink-wrapped" or "click-wrapped" software license agreement which is
pre-packaged with the software and is also included as part of customers'
installation process. For sales of our MPI and MPX products, we generally
require a signed license agreement. In addition, we receive royalty payments
from original equipment manufacturers related to the bundling of our software
with their design software programs.



    We recognize software licenses revenue when evidence of a purchase
commitment exists, delivery has occurred upon shipment of the product to the
customer, no significant installation obligations remain, the license fee is
fixed and determinable, and collectibility is probable. Installation of the
software by Moldflow is not essential to its functionality, and typically is
completed by our customers.



    SERVICES REVENUE.  Most of our customers enter into maintenance and support
contracts, which require us to provide customer technical support services and
unspecified product upgrades and enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis.
Services revenue is primarily comprised of revenue derived from these
maintenance and support contracts. At January 1, 2000, 1,105 customers had
maintenance and support contracts with us. During the six months ended
January 1, 2000, our customers renewed maintenance and support contracts with us
on approximately 71% of the product licenses that were under maintenance and
support contracts up for renewal during the six


                                       19
<PAGE>

months ended January 1, 2000. We caution you, however, that the maintenance and
support contract renewal rate for product licenses under these contracts may not
be indicative of trends in our services revenue because, among other things,
this rate does not reflect maintenance and support contracts with new customers
or existing customers who purchase new product licenses and enter into new
maintenance and support contracts rather than renew existing contracts.
Maintenance and support contract revenue is invoiced in advance and is
recognized ratably over the term of the corresponding maintenance agreement,
which typically is twelve months. We also provide consulting services, training
of customers' employees, and material testing services. Other services revenue
is recognized as the services are performed.


    COST OF SOFTWARE LICENSES REVENUE.  Cost of software licenses revenue
consists primarily of the costs associated with compact discs and related
packaging material, duplication and shipping costs and the salaries of our
distribution personnel. In some cases, we pay royalties to third parties for
usage-based licenses of their products that are embedded in our software
programs. Product royalties are expensed when the related obligation arises,
which is generally upon the sale of our products, and are included in cost of
software licenses revenue.

    COST OF SERVICES REVENUE.  Cost of services revenue consists primarily of
salary, fringe benefit and facility related costs of our maintenance and
support, consulting and training activities and of our material testing
laboratory in Australia, and is expensed when incurred. Additionally, from time
to time, we engage outside consultants to meet peaks in customer demand for our
consulting services.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  We maintain an in-house development staff to
enhance our existing products and to develop new ones. Product development
expenditures are generally charged to operations as incurred. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 requires the capitalization of certain
software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological
feasibility. We typically establish technological feasibility upon the
completion of a working model. Accordingly, due to the minimal level of software
development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological
feasibility, costs eligible for capitalization have not been significant to
date.

    SELLING AND MARKETING.  We sell our products primarily through our direct
sales force and indirect distribution channels. Selling and marketing expenses
consist primarily of personnel costs, commissions to employees, sales office
facilities, travel and promotional events such as trade shows, advertising,
print and Web-based collateral materials, and public relations programs.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses include our
personnel, routine legal, audit and other costs of our executive management,
finance and administrative support activities.

    LITIGATION.  In February 1999, we filed suit in U.S. District Court against
a former employee and C-Mold in which we allege theft and misappropriation of
our trade secrets related to the development of a three-dimensional plastic
simulation and modeling product. The U.S. District Court has issued a
preliminary injunction precluding the defendants from using or disclosing our
trade secrets and prohibiting our former employee from working for our
competitor in this area. In January 2000, the court denied C-Mold's motion to
have this injunction lifted. In April 1999, C-Mold filed counterclaims against
us in which they allege that we engaged in anti-competitive practices including,
among other things, restraint of trade, attempt to monopolize, price
discrimination, libel and defamation. Certain of the counterclaims have been
dismissed. This litigation is currently being held in abeyance pending the
completion of our acquisition of C-Mold, at which time it will be dismissed. In
the event that the litigation resumes, we intend to vigorously pursue our claims
and defend the counterclaims asserted against us. We are unable to determine the
ultimate outcome of

                                       20
<PAGE>
these matters. Litigation expenses reflect our costs for pursuing our claims and
for defending against the counterclaims.

    INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Interest income (expense), net includes our
cost of borrowings, including interest cost incurred on our working capital
lines of credit and stockholder loans, offset in part by interest income earned
on invested cash balances.

    OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET.  Other income (loss), net includes realized and
unrealized gains and losses arising from translation of foreign currency
denominated asset and liability balances and other non-operating income and
expense items.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  Our provision for income taxes includes
federal, state and foreign taxes on our income in the countries in which we do
business. Because we have incurred significant operating losses in prior years,
we have significant net operating loss carryforwards available to offset our
future tax obligations in the U.S. and Australia, and to a lesser extent,
certain other countries. At June 30, 1999, we had available federal, state and
foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.5 million,
$3.2 million and $7.8 million. Use of net operating losses to reduce future
taxable income is subject to a number of limitations. We expect that our income
taxes will increase in the future once our net operating loss carryforwards and
other deferred tax assets are fully utilized.

    Our fiscal year end is June 30. References to 1997, 1998 or 1999 mean the
fiscal year ended June 30, unless otherwise indicated. During the fiscal year,
we follow a schedule in which each interim quarterly period ends on the Saturday
of the thirteenth full week of the reporting period.

  SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 2, 1999

    REVENUE.  Total revenue increased by 24.4%, or $2.3 million, to
$11.5 million for the six months ended January 1, 2000 from $9.2 million for the
six months ended January 2, 1999. In the same period, software licenses revenue
increased by 26.1%, or $1.4 million, to $6.7 million. The increase in software
licenses revenue was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.0 million in
license revenue in our Asia region due in part to an improvement in the region's
economic conditions. To a lesser extent, license revenue was higher due to an
increase in the number of our direct sales representatives and new MPA and MPX
product releases in March 1999 and September 1999. Software licenses revenue
accounted for 57.8% of total revenue for the six months ended January 1, 2000
compared to 57.1% for the six months ended January 2, 1999. Services revenue
increased by 22.3%, or $884,000, to $4.9 million for the six months ended
January 1, 2000 from $4.0 million for the six months ended January 2, 1999. This
increase was due primarily to an increase in the amount of revenue derived from
maintenance and support contracts resulting from the growth in our software
licenses revenue and installed user base in fiscal 1999. No customer accounted
for more than 10% of total revenue for the six months ended January 1, 2000 and
January 2, 1999.

    COST OF REVENUE.  Cost of software licenses revenue increased 91.7%, or
$154,000, to $322,000 for the six months ended January 1, 2000 from $168,000 for
the six months ended January 2, 1999. This increase was primarily attributable
to hardware costs related to MPX product sales and, to a lesser extent, costs
associated with increased personnel. Cost of services revenue decreased 18.8%,
or $114,000, from $605,000 for the six months ended January 2, 1999 to $491,000
for the six months ended January 1, 2000. This decrease resulted from the
continued redirection of field technical personnel from largely passive roles of
customer hotline and maintenance services to active field roles in pre-sales and
customer retention programs, which costs are included in selling and marketing.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses decreased 2.6%,
or $45,000, to $1.7 million for the six months ended January 1, 2000 from
$1.8 million for the six months ended January 2, 1999. This decrease was the
result of lower research sponsorship costs in the six months ended January 1,
2000.

    SELLING AND MARKETING.  Selling and marketing expenses increased 25.9%, or
$1.2 million, to $5.8 million for the six months ended January 1, 2000 from
$4.6 million for the six months ended January 2, 1999. This growth was due
principally to an increase in the number of direct sales representatives and
pre-sales application support engineers. To a lesser extent, this growth was due
to the establishment of a direct sales subsidiary in Sweden in July 1999 and an
increase in spending for promotional activities.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses increased
31.2%, or $542,000, to $2.3 million for the six months ended January 1, 2000
from $1.7 million for the six months ended January 2, 1999. This resulted from
the cost of additional finance and administrative personnel hired in the second
half of fiscal 1999, an increase in costs of pursuing business development
opportunities, and an increase in general corporate insurance and facility
costs.

    LITIGATION.  Litigation expenses were $530,000 for the six months ended
January 1, 2000. There were no litigation expenses for the six months ended
January 2, 1999. These litigation expenses consist of the legal costs incurred
to pursue our claims regarding theft of our trade secrets and to defend against
the counterclaims.

    INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Interest income (expense), net decreased
54.1%, or $46,000, to a net expense of $39,000 in the six months ended
January 1, 2000 from a net expense of $85,000

                                       22
<PAGE>
for the six months ended January 2, 1999. This was due primarily to a decrease
in interest expense resulting from the reduction in the amount of outstanding
borrowings under our domestic and foreign revolving credit facilities.

    OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET.  Other income (loss), net increased $42,000 to a
loss of $64,000 in the six months ended January 1, 2000 from a loss of $22,000
for the six months ended January 2, 1999. This change was primarily due to
unrealized foreign exchange losses incurred on the translation of intercompany
foreign currency denominated obligations.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes was a benefit of
$172,000 in the six months ended January 1, 2000 compared to a provision of
$57,000 for the six months ended January 2, 1999. This change reflects the
impact of a refund received in September 1999 of foreign taxes that we paid in
prior years.

  COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS 1999 AND 1998

    REVENUE.  Total revenue increased 23.4%, or $3.8 million, to $20.2 million
for 1999 from $16.4 million for 1998. The increase was attributable principally
to growth in software licenses revenue, resulting primarily from the impact of
the release of three new products, MPI/Fusion, MPI/ FLOW 3D and MPA/Mold Adviser
in August 1998, September 1998 and March 1999. A portion of the increase
resulted from the continued implementation of our direct selling model,
including the addition of sales representatives and the improvement of sales
productivity. Software licenses revenue increased 43.7%, or $3.7 million, to
$12.2 million for 1999 from $8.5 million for 1998. Software licenses revenue
accounted for 60.5% of total revenue in 1999, compared to 51.9% during 1998.
Services revenue increased slightly by $108,000, or 1.4%, as the increase in
maintenance and support contract revenue was offset, in part, by a reduction in
consulting revenue resulting from our decision to de-emphasize our simulation
consulting and analysis business. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our
total revenue during 1999 and a distributor in Japan, ISI-Dentsu, Ltd.,
accounted for 12.7% of our total revenue in 1998.

    COST OF REVENUE.  Cost of software licenses revenue decreased by 4.8%, or
$19,000, to $378,000 for 1999 from $397,000 for 1998. This decrease was due
primarily to lower packaging and freight costs in 1999. Cost of services revenue
decreased by 21.7%, or $366,000, to $1.3 million for 1999 from $1.7 million for
1998. This was due primarily to lower personnel costs resulting from the
continued redirection of technical and consulting employees into pre-sales
support activities, which costs are included in selling and marketing. To a
lesser extent, this reduction was due to the implementation of a worldwide
customer support management system and the centralization of U.S.-based customer
support activities.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses increased by
13.2%, or $404,000, to $3.5 million for 1999 from $3.1 million for 1998. This
increase was attributable to the addition of software development engineers in
Australia and the United Kingdom, and increased costs of travel and outside
consultants primarily engaged in MPX product development activities.

    SELLING AND MARKETING.  Selling and marketing expenses increased by 32.7%,
or $2.4 million, to $9.7 million for 1999 from $7.3 million for 1998. These
expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue from 44.4% to 47.8% due
principally to the hiring of additional direct sales representatives, pre-sales
support and product marketing employees, and also to a lesser extent the
establishment of a marketing communications function. Further, we increased our
spending for promotional activities including collateral materials, direct
mailings and public relations in connection with the rollout of new products
introduced during 1999.

                                       23
<PAGE>
    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses increased
by 16.2%, or $536,000, to $3.8 million for 1999 from $3.3 million for 1998.
These expenses increased in 1999 due primarily to the addition of financial and
administrative management personnel. In addition, we increased our spending for
improvements in information systems and routine legal and audit fees.

    LITIGATION.  Litigation expenses were $620,000 in 1999. This was
attributable to the legal costs incurred in 1999 to pursue our claims regarding
theft of our trade secrets and to defend against the other parties'
counterclaims. There were no such expenses in 1998.

    INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Interest income (expense), net decreased by
25.6%, or $61,000, to a net expense of $177,000 in 1999 from a net expense of
$238,000 in 1998 due primarily to a reduction in the amount of interest expense
incurred as a result of a reduction in the level of bank and stockholder debt
outstanding in 1999. Outstanding debt was reduced through repayment with funds
generated from operations in 1999 and through the conversion of $890,000 of
stockholder debt into preferred stock.

    OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET.  Other income (loss), net decreased by $111,000,
to a loss of $92,000 in 1999 from income of $19,000 in 1998 due primarily to
unrealized foreign exchange losses incurred on the translation of intercompany
foreign currency denominated obligations.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes increased
slightly to $176,000 in 1999 from $163,000 in 1998 due primarily to changes in
the amount of taxes paid on income in state and foreign jurisdictions.

  COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS 1998 AND 1997

    REVENUE.  Our total revenue increased 10.6%, or $1.6 million, to
$16.4 million for 1998 from $14.8 million for 1997. The increase was principally
attributable to the introduction in June 1997 of the MPA/Part Adviser product.
To a lesser extent our revenues increased as a result of the establishment of
our direct sales subsidiary in Italy in January 1998. This increase was offset
in part by lower sales in Asia resulting from declining economic conditions in
the region and the impact of currency fluctuations. Software licenses revenue
accounted for 51.9% of total revenue in 1998, compared to 45.5% during 1997.
Services revenue declined by 2.5% in 1998, or $205,000, to $7.9 million,
compared to $8.1 million in 1997. This was due to our decision to de-emphasize
our simulation and analysis consulting business while redirecting our
consultants into pre-sales support in order to increase software product sales
at a more rapid pace. In 1998 and 1997, a distributor in Japan, ISI-Dentsu,
Ltd., accounted for 12.7% and 14.9% of our total revenue for those periods.

    COST OF REVENUE.  Cost of software licenses revenue increased by 5.3%, or
$20,000, to $397,000 for 1998 from $377,000 for 1997 due primarily to the
increased volume of product sales. Cost of services revenue decreased by 11.5%,
or $219,000, to $1.7 million in 1998 from $1.9 million in 1997. The decrease was
attributable principally to a redirection of some of our technical and
consulting employees into pre-sales support activities, which costs are included
in selling and marketing.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses decreased by
13.2%, or $465,000, to $3.1 million for 1998 from $3.5 million for 1997. This
decrease was attributable primarily to the reduction in costs of our development
activities in Australia due to the weakening in the rate of exchange of the
Australian dollar to the U.S. dollar during 1998.

    SELLING AND MARKETING.  Selling and marketing expenses increased by 8.7%, or
$584,000, to $7.3 million for 1998 from $6.7 million for 1997. These expenses
increased due to compensation and other costs related to the addition of sales
associates and sales management in existing

                                       24
<PAGE>
operations, including our Japanese operation established in August 1997, and the
establishment of direct sales and support operations in Italy in January 1998.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses decreased
by 11.2%, or $416,000, to $3.3 million for 1998 from $3.7 million for 1997. The
decrease was due primarily to a reduction in the cost of our Asian regional
finance and administrative activities located in Australia resulting from
changes in the rate of exchange versus the U.S. dollar and a reduction in the
level of professional fees incurred after our reorganization into a U.S.
corporation in August 1997.

    AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS.  Amortization of intangible assets
decreased $2.3 million, or 96.5%, to $84,000 in 1998 from $2.4 million in 1997
as our intangible assets, including developed software and goodwill acquired in
1994, became fully amortized in 1997.

    INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Interest income (expense), net increased by
71.2%, or $99,000, to a net expense of $238,000 in 1998 from a net expense of
$139,000 in 1997 due to the increased level of bank and stockholder debt
outstanding in 1998.

    OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET.  Other income (loss), net increased by $2,000, to
income of $19,000 in 1998 from income of $17,000 in 1997 due primarily to
unrealized foreign exchange gains resulting from the translation of intercompany
foreign currency denominated obligations.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes decreased by
56.1%, or $208,000, from $371,000 in 1997 to $163,000 in 1998 primarily as the
result of a reduction in the amount of foreign withholding taxes paid after the
establishment of our direct sales subsidiary in Japan.

    Our quarterly results have varied in the past and may vary significantly in
the future depending on many factors, many of which are outside of our control.
The primary factors that may affect us include the following:

    - seasonal slowdowns, in particular, in our first fiscal quarter, in many of
      the markets in which we sell our products,

    - start-up expenses for new facilities and new personnel,

    - our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs, including the
      rollout of our Internet-enabled products currently under development,

    - currency fluctuations,

    - developments in the litigation that we are pursuing against our former
      employee and our competitor, and in the nature and extent of proceedings
      and findings related to their counterclaims pending against us, and

    - the timing and integration of acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Historically, we have financed our operations and met our capital
expenditure requirements primarily through private sales of our capital stock,
stockholder loans, funds generated from operations and borrowings from lending
institutions. As of January 1, 2000, our primary sources of liquidity consisted
of $1.3 million in total cash and cash equivalents and $1.4 million of available
borrowings under our $3,250,000 domestic and foreign revolving lines of credit,
which are secured by substantially all of our assets. As of January 1, 2000, the
balance outstanding on our lines of credit was $998,000. Borrowings under our
lines of credit are subject to a borrowing base of 80% of eligible domestic
accounts receivable, 30% of eligible foreign accounts receivable, and 90% of a
standby letter of credit issued by an Australian bank. The assets of our
Australian subsidiary secure the standby letter of credit. Interest on these
lines of credit is payable monthly at rates of prime plus 1.25% for the domestic
line and prime plus 1.5% for the foreign line. The standby letter of credit is
subject to a fee of 0.5% per year.

    Net cash used in operating activities was $608,000 in 1997, and net cash
provided by operations was $771,000 in 1998, $1.2 million in 1999 and $210,000
in the six months ended January 1, 2000. The cash used in operating activities
in 1997 primarily reflects the net loss of $4.3 million offset, in part, by
non-cash charges of $3.1 million for depreciation of fixed assets and
amortization of intangible assets included in the net loss. The cash provided by
operations in 1998, 1999 and the six months ended January 1, 2000 reflects the
impact of increases in net income, deferred maintenance and support contract
revenue and accounts payable, offset by the impact of the increase in 1998 of
accounts receivable, and by non-cash depreciation and amortization charges
included in net income.

    Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million, $729,000 and
$854,000 in 1997, 1998 and 1999, and $387,000 in the six months ended
January 1, 2000. Net cash used in investing activities reflects amounts used for
purchases of property and equipment, primarily for computers, networking and
materials laboratory test equipment to support our global product development
activities, and to enable data communications among our worldwide development,
sales, customer support and administrative organizations. In addition, in 1997,
net cash used in investing activities reflects $431,000 used to acquire the
shares of our third party distributor in France.

    Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 million and $716,000 in
1997 and 1998. Net cash used in financing activities was $907,000 in 1999 and
net cash provided by financing activities was $134,000 in the six months ended
January 1, 2000. Net cash provided by financing activities in 1997 and 1998
reflects primarily borrowings from stockholders and lending institutions, net of
the repayment of debt obligations. In July 1998, we converted indebtedness of
$890,000 incurred in

                                       27
<PAGE>
1997 and 1998 under stockholder loans into shares of preferred stock. For more
information on the loan conversion, see "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions--Loans from Stockholders." Net cash used in financing activities in
1999 reflects principally the repayments of amounts outstanding on our working
capital lines of credit and capital lease obligations. Net cash provided by
financing activities in the six months ended January 1, 2000 reflects
principally borrowings on our working capital lines of credit.

    We believe that the net proceeds of this offering, together with our current
cash, cash equivalents, and available lines of credit will be sufficient to
complete the planned acquisition of C-Mold and to meet our anticipated cash
needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next
12 months following the date of this prospectus. On a long-term basis or to
complete other acquisitions, we may require additional external financing
through credit facilities, sales of additional equity or other financing
vehicles.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

    We are unaware of any problems that have arisen with respect to year 2000
issues in our current software products, our internal computer systems or in the
computer systems of our vendors. Prior to January 1, 2000, we conducted a
comprehensive review of the potential impact that the change in the date to the
year 2000 would have on our current products and computer systems. Based on this
review, we determined that all of our current products and major computer
systems are able to recognize and appropriately process dates commencing in the
year 2000. Our historical costs to assess our year 2000 readiness have not been
significant. The majority of the costs required to complete our year 2000
compliance process were incurred as part of our normal capital asset acquisition
program, and would have been incurred without consideration of year 2000 issues.
We are not currently able to estimate the final aggregate cost of addressing the
year 2000 issue, because funds may be required as a result of future findings.
However, given the lack of any problems related to the year 2000 since the year
change, we do not anticipate that we will experience any material problems
related to the year 2000 in the future. As a result, we do not expect costs
associated with these problems to have an adverse effect on our business and
financial results.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In December 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position No. 98-9, "Modification of SOP No. 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions." SOP 98-9 amends SOP
97-2 to require recognition of revenue using the "residual method" in
circumstances outlined in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method, revenue is
recognized as follows: (1) the total fair value of undelivered elements, as
indicated by vendor specific objective evidence, is deferred and subsequently
recognized in accordance with the relevant sections of SOP 97-2 and (2) the
difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the
undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements.
SOP 98-9 is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning
after March 15, 1999. Also, the provision of SOP 97-2 that were deferred by SOP
98-4 will continue to be deferred until the date SOP 98-9 becomes effective. We
do not expect that the adoption of SOP 98-9 will have a significant impact on
our results of operations or financial position.

    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 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging
activities. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all fiscal
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier
application encouraged. We do not currently use derivative instruments or engage
in hedging activities.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    We develop our products in research centers in Australia, the United Kingdom
and the United States. We sell our products globally through our direct sales
force and indirect distributor channels. As a result, our financial results are
affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and weak
economic conditions in foreign markets. In the future, we expect to increase our
international operations in our existing markets and in geographic locations
where we do not have any operations now.

    We collect a substantial portion of our revenue and pay a substantial
portion of our operating expenses in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in
currency exchange rates from time to time may affect our operating results.
Currently, we do not engage in hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to
changes in currency exchange rates, although we may do so in the future. We
cannot assure you, however, that any efforts we may make in the future to hedge
our exposure to currency exchange rate changes will be successful.

EUROPEAN UNION CURRENCY CONVERSION

    On January 1, 1999, eleven member nations of the European Economic and
Monetary Union began using a common currency, the Euro. For a three-year
transition period ending June 30, 2002, both the Euro and each of the currencies
for such member countries will remain in circulation. After June 30, 2002, the
Euro will be the sole legal tender for those countries. The adoption of the Euro
will affect many financial systems and business applications as the commerce of
those countries may be transacted both in the Euro and the existing national
currency during the transition period. Significant portions of our revenue have
been historically generated in Europe. Of the eleven countries currently using
the Euro, we have subsidiary operations in France, Germany and Italy. We have
assessed the potential impact of the Euro conversion in a number of areas,
particularly on our pricing and other marketing strategies. Although we do not
currently expect that the conversion, either during or after the transition
period, will have an adverse effect on our operations or financial condition,
the conversion has only recently been implemented and there can be no assurance
that it will not have some unexpected adverse impact.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

    We believe that our revenue and results of operations have not been
significantly impacted by inflation during the past three fiscal years.

                                    BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

    We believe we are the world's leading developer of software solutions that
enhance the design, analysis, and manufacture of injection molded plastic parts.
Our products are used by participants in all aspects of the injection molded
plastic parts manufacturing process, including part designers, mold designers,
manufacturing engineers and machine operators. Our products enable our customers
to speed their products to market, decrease manufacturing costs and reduce
costly design and manufacturing errors by:

    - assisting part designers in the selection of a plastic material,

    - determining the strength, rigidity and ease of manufacturing of a given
      part design,

    - predicting the amount a plastic part will shrink or warp during
      production,

    - optimizing production conditions such as machine temperatures, injection
      speeds, cooling, times and the locations in a mold to inject the plastic,

    - identifying and providing optimized solutions for adverse variations
      during production, and

    - providing features which facilitate collaboration over shared media, such
      as the Internet.

    Prior to 1997, we offered a single product line, Moldflow Plastics Insight
(MPI), which was designed to be used by highly specialized engineers conducting
in-depth plastics simulation. Our two new product lines, Moldflow Plastics
Advisers (MPA) and Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX), can be used by participants in
all phases of the design and production process for injection molded plastic
parts, many of whom do not specialize in plastic part design. We believe a
large, untapped market for our new product lines exists.

    We focus on developing software tools that improve the entire span of
product development for injection molded plastic parts to enable our customers
to enhance their competitiveness and reduce their costs. We believe we have the
widest and most advanced range of software solutions and proprietary technology
to address the problems that arise in each phase of the process of designing and
manufacturing injection molded plastic parts.

    Our products are used by more than 2,200 customers at more than 2,500 sites
in over 50 countries around the world. We sell our products primarily through
our direct sales force in North America, Europe and Asia and, to a lesser
extent, through original equipment manufacturers and through distributors in
defined geographic regions. Representative customers include Baxter
International, DaimlerChrysler, DuPont, Fuji Xerox, Hewlett-Packard, Lego,
Lucent Technologies, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung. We have distribution
arrangements with Parametric Technology Corporation, Structural Dynamics
Research Corporation or SDRC, Unigraphics Solutions and CoCreate and resellers
of products of SolidWorks, a subsidiary of Dassault Systemes, and Autodesk.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

  INJECTION MOLDED PLASTICS INDUSTRY

    From high technology to traditional manufacturing, companies in many
industries today make extensive use of plastic materials to produce component
parts for their products. The widespread use of plastics as a manufacturing
material has occurred because plastic parts can be formed into an almost
limitless number of shapes, are relatively inexpensive to manufacture in volume
and are easy to assemble. Common consumer products that make extensive use of
plastic parts include cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, pagers,
automobiles, televisions, cameras, toys and personal computers. The commercial
success of each of these products often relies heavily upon reducing the time to
bring new products to market, reducing engineering and manufacturing costs, and
improving product quality and design.

                                       30
<PAGE>
    In high technology industries, the use of plastics has become increasingly
important as weight, cost and quality are standard points of competitive
differentiation. Most importantly, because plastics can be molded into extremely
complex shapes, they are uniquely suited for use in high technology products.
Products such as cell phones, personal digital assistants or PDAs, and notebook
computers have all employed increasingly complex designs characterized by
smaller parts, reduced weight, more sophisticated shapes and lower tolerances.
These complexities often lengthen the time to market for new products. As
product life cycles shrink and time to market becomes increasingly important,
successful manufacturers in these industries must design and build products
quickly and correctly the first time. In particular, production delays or high
product defect rates for manufacturers in rapidly changing industries can
represent significant economic and opportunity costs. For example, according to
Dataquest analog cellular handset and digital cellular/PCS handset production is
forecast to grow from 175 million units in 1998 to 551 million units in 2003.

    The use of plastics also continues to increase in traditional industries
such as the automotive industry in large part due to improvements in the
injection molding process. Automobile manufacturers frequently find that plastic
parts provide the same or superior functionality at a lower cost than other
alternatives and permit a single part to replace multiple parts. Reducing the
number of parts decreases assembly costs and simplifies the overall product
development process. For instance, industry trade journals have reported that
DaimlerChrysler predicts that the 75-100 metal parts currently used on a typical
car's body structure could be replaced by 6-12 plastic parts on future cars. In
addition to cost savings and enhanced part performance, the use of plastics in
the automobile industry can yield improvements in other important design
criteria such as fuel economy due to the weight savings achieved by using
plastics instead of other heavier structural materials. For example, industry
trade journals have reported that DaimlerChrysler has recently produced a new
hardtop for its Jeep Wrangler model which uses plastics on external components
and weighs 23 pounds less than its current production hardtop.

  INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS

    The dominant method for producing plastic parts with complex shapes is
injection molding. We believe that in 1999 up to 750,000 injection molding
machines were in operation on a worldwide basis. Injection molding involves the
injection of molten plastic into a cavity called the mold, usually made of
metal, where it is packed under pressure, subsequently cooled, and then ejected,
yielding a final part.

    The injection molding process is extremely complex. It requires the matching
of part geometry to mold geometry, as well as accommodating varying material,
machine, and environmental operating conditions. Not only must the mold cavity
be machined precisely to produce the desired shape of the final part, it also
must account for shrinkage and warpage of the plastic material as it cools and
is ejected. Problems can arise in this process if the molten plastic enters the
mold at the wrong temperature, if the locations of the points of entry of the
plastic into the mold are mismatched to the design of the part, or if the
properties of the chosen plastic are poorly matched to the product's function.
Each of these potential problems can cause an excessive number of defective or
substandard parts to be produced or require several attempts to remachine the
mold.

    The process of designing and producing injection molded plastic parts
consists of four distinct steps, the design portion of which can take from
several weeks to several months depending on the complexity and other attributes
of the part being designed:

    - PART DESIGN--A design engineer, who typically does not specialize in the
      design of plastic parts, lays out the initial design of the end product,
      including the plastic components. These

                                       31
<PAGE>
      design engineers face difficult plastic-related decisions which often fall
      outside of their area of specialization, including:

       - selecting a plastic material out of which the plastic portion of the
         product will be made from among the thousands of plastic materials
         currently available,

       - estimating the strength and rigidity of the part,

       - designing the part with shapes and thicknesses that can be readily
         produced using injection molding, and

       - completing each of the steps in a cost efficient manner.

    - MOLD DESIGN--After the part has been designed, typically a second engineer
      designs the mold into which injection molding machines can pack the
      selected plastic material to create the part. Designing a mold requires
      the engineer to estimate many important variables, including the amount
      the plastic part will warp or shrink and the optimal locations for
      injecting plastic into the mold. The cost of a mold can vary from as
      little as a few thousand dollars to more than one million dollars.

    - PRODUCTION SET-UP--After the mold has been designed and built, the mold is
      fastened into an injection molding machine. A machine operator then
      adjusts several machine settings, such as machine temperature, injection
      speed and cooling time until the machine produces a single acceptable
      part. In many instances, once acceptable parts are made with some
      frequency, the operator makes little or no effort to improve the machine's
      set-up to optimize speed or minimize failure rates.

    - PRODUCTION MONITORING--Once commercial production begins, machine
      operators monitor the injection molding machine's performance, which will
      vary over time. This variation can be caused by operating conditions which
      shift as a result of factors such as temperature fluctuations and
      lot-to-lot variations in the plastic raw material.

    Traditionally, these steps have been carried out through a trial-and-error
process which requires a significant amount of guesswork throughout. As a
result, the design and development process has been inherently inefficient. An
incorrect guess at any step of this process may produce suboptimal parts or
require that portions or all of the process be repeated, delaying production and
increasing costs.

    The inefficiencies and resulting cost increases occurring in this process
are further exacerbated when companies outsource one or more of these steps.
Many companies have set up supply chains to match expertise and cost structures
to each step of this process and take advantage of available networks to
establish "design anywhere, build anywhere" collaborations with suppliers and
between divisions across their company. The part design, mold design and
production steps often occur in geographically separated facilities. As a
result, the iterative process of designing a plastic part is frequently hindered
by having to coordinate this process across multiple locations and time zones.

  ABSENCE OF SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS FOR THE INJECTION MOLDED PLASTICS INDUSTRY

    Although many industries have embraced software tools to improve their
product design and production processes, we believe that a substantial portion
of companies in the injection molded plastics industry continue to employ a
trial-and-error process at most steps of the design and development process. We
believe this condition exists today primarily because of the limited
availability of specific software tools capable of addressing many of the
complex and unique issues involved in designing injection molded plastic parts
and their molds. In addition, we believe that up to 750,000 injection molding
machines are currently in use worldwide and are being operated without
integrated software tools which can analyze and improve the efficiency of their
production.

                                       32

THE MOLDFLOW SOLUTION

    Using our extensive knowledge of designing and manufacturing with plastics,
we have developed a suite of software applications which enhance our customers'
ability to optimize the design and production process for injection molded
plastic parts. Our approach, which we call Process Wide Plastics Solutions,
provides our customers with a software tool for each step in this process, from
part design through production monitoring, in an integrated environment.
Together, our suite of products permit plastics manufacturers for the first time
to significantly decrease the guesswork involved in each step of the injection
molding process by replacing the traditional trial-and-error process with an
automated and integrated process.

    Our products can significantly reduce the time it takes to design plastic
parts for injection molding, improve the quality of the plastic part produced
and decrease the cost of the production process by:

    - assisting part designers in the selection of a plastic material based on
      their design criteria,

    - determining the strength and rigidity of a given part design,

    - evaluating the ease of manufacturing a given part design,

    - predicting the amount a part will shrink or warp during production,

    - determining the optimal locations in a mold to inject the plastic
      material,

    - selecting optimal machine temperatures, injection speeds and cooling times
      for part production,

    - identifying and providing solutions for adverse variations during
      production, and

    - providing features which facilitate collaboration over shared media, such
      as the Internet.

    With direct sales offices and distribution partners worldwide, we believe
that we are uniquely positioned to deliver our evolving suite of software tools
to customers in any part of the world.

OUR STRATEGY

    We plan to extend our position as the leading provider of software solutions
that enhance the design, analysis and manufacture of injection molded plastic
parts. Key elements of our strategy are to:

  CAPITALIZE ON MARKET OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPANDED PRODUCT OFFERINGS

    We focus our research and development efforts on developing new products to
address unmet market needs. We developed Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA),
initially released in June 1997 and expanded in 1999, to provide plastic part
and mold design solutions to design engineers who are not highly specialized in
plastics simulation. Prior to the introduction of MPA, no software solution
existed specifically for use by these design engineers for the design of
injection molded plastic parts. Our MPA product has contributed significantly to
our revenue since its introduction. We developed Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX),
our newest product line initially introduced in September 1998, to optimize the
production set-up and monitoring of injection molding machines. No software
solution currently exists with functionality comparable to our MPX product to
address this market. We believe MPX represents a significant opportunity for
growth and we intend to vigorously pursue this largely untapped market. In
addition, we will continue to develop new product lines and expand our existing
product lines as opportunities arise.

  EXPLOIT THE INTERNET TO PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO OUR CUSTOMERS

    We intend to use the Internet to allow users of our products, including part
and mold designers, machine operators, suppliers, business customers and
outsourcing plants, to share product data and coordinate product design and
development on a worldwide basis. Currently, our

                                       33
<PAGE>
products permit users to produce and access product reports via the Internet
which can be viewed with any standard web browser. For example, we intend to use
the Internet to:

       - release our MPA product using an application server provider or ASP
         model, which would permit customers to use our products on demand over
         the Internet, and

       - create an Internet portal to enable customers to use our MPX product to
         monitor the injection molding process, including machine efficiency and
         production data, from anywhere in the world.

  FOCUS ON DIRECT SELLING MODEL

    We believe that a key element of our success over the last two years has
been our focus on creating a highly effective direct sales organization. Most of
our products are sold through this organization, which encompassed 28 sales
associates employed at sales offices located in nine countries as of March 1,
2000. Over the last two years, we have implemented a new sales model which
involves teaming each sales associate with an engineer. Each team works together
to conduct a thorough evaluation of potential customers' design and
manufacturing processes and provide them with a detailed analysis of the cost
savings our products could produce.

  EXPAND OUR GLOBAL PRESENCE

    We will continue to build on our existing global presence in sales, support
and research and development, which we believe provides us with a competitive
advantage. We maintain direct sales and support offices in the United States,
Australia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Korea and Japan. In
addition, we extend our geographic coverage by selling our products through over
100 distributors worldwide. Our research and development process involves
approximately 50 research and development personnel located at our United
States, Australia and United Kingdom facilities. Our personnel share software
code among these facilities, and are able to electronically update colleagues in
most cases every two hours and, at a minimum, at the end of each team's working
day. As a result, our research and development continues on an around-the-clock
basis. We believe that this geographically dispersed, team-oriented approach to
product development and delivery helps us to bring new products to market
faster.

  SELECTIVELY ENGAGE IN ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS

    We intend to selectively engage in acquisitions and enter into strategic
relationships to accelerate the implementation of elements of our strategy. We
may pursue acquisitions, partnerships or licensing arrangements to obtain
technology to improve or broaden our product offerings if we determine that to
do so would be more cost effective or timely than developing our own.

OUR PRODUCTS

    We offer software solutions for all phases of designing and manufacturing
injection molded plastic parts. We have categorized our product offerings into
three distinct families, the Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA) series for part
design and high-level mold design, the Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI) series
for more in-depth mold design and the Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX) series for
production set-up and production monitoring. Our products employ complex and
proprietary mathematical concepts. For example, our MPA and MPI products employ
our patent-pending Dual Domain technology, which permits users to conduct
complex plastic flow simulations using the solid models created by their design
modeling software. As a result, users can eliminate the otherwise necessary,
time consuming and error prone step of creating a different type of model based
upon the part geometry contained in the solid model's database. Our products run
on the most widely used computing platforms and operating systems, including
various versions of Windows and UNIX.

  MOLDFLOW PLASTICS ADVISERS

    Our MPA series provides part and mold designers with applications that
permit them to quickly check the ultimate manufacturability of their designs at
an early stage in the design process. We have designed MPA to input its results
directly into MPX to enhance the efficiency of machine set-up. The MPA series
consists of two products:

        PART ADVISER is a user-friendly application which enables product
    designers without expertise in designing plastic parts to address key
    manufacturing concerns in the preliminary design stage. Part Adviser offers
    practical advice for the broad range of problems it identifies without the
    need to consult with engineers who specialize in plastic part design. For
    the first time, part designers are able to receive rapid feedback on the
    extent to which a number of factors, including modifications such as part
    geometry, material selection or plastic fill locations affect the
    manufacturability of a plastic part. In addition, Part Adviser permits the
    designer to instantly share information with fellow team members across the
    Internet.

        MOLD ADVISER extends the capabilities of Part Adviser to permit the mold
    designer to layout and analyze an optimal mold. This product eliminates the
    need to design and build molds through trial-and-error, enabling a mold
    designer to create molds quickly and efficiently.


    The following is an example of how one of our customers has used MPA:



    POLAROID CORPORATION, a producer of instant and digital imaging products,
recently used our MPA product in the design of its new digital microscope camera
product. Among the many challenges faced by Polaroid in designing their product
was the modification of an existing mold used to produce the camera's shutter.



    - Polaroid estimated that the use of our MPA product reduced their overall
      product development time by 50% and enabled them to take the digital
      microscope camera product from concept to market in only nine months.



    - Polaroid design engineers were able to verify that the existing mold could
      be modified to reflect the design of the new shutter and produce parts of
      acceptable quality.


  MOLDFLOW PLASTICS INSIGHT

    The MPI series contains our broadest set of predictive capabilities for
injection molding for use by highly specialized design engineers. The MPI series
assists design engineers in determining the optimal combination of part
geometry, material choice, mold design and processing parameters to produce
quality finished products. MPI allows the optimization of the variables which
remain in the mold designer's control to adjust. For instance, a mold designer
often receives a part design and is not permitted to make changes to the design,
but rather must create a mold design and a set of operating conditions best
suited for the part as designed. MPI may also be used in connection with a
completed mold which was poorly designed and is producing defective parts at an
unacceptable rate. In these cases, MPI can be used to find the best possible
operating conditions for the mold-part combination to minimize the defects. The
results generated by our MPI products can be input directly into our MPX product
to reduce machine set-up time.

    All applications in the MPI series use an integrated environment which
permits users to easily import all of the most commonly used types of
computer-generated models, select and compare material grades, prepare models
for analysis, sequence a series of analysis jobs, undertake advanced analysis
post-processing and use Internet-based capabilities to enhance collaboration
with team members. In these applications, we believe that we offer the broadest
integration with existing computer-aided design products in the plastics
software industry.

        MPI/FLOW predicts the flow and subsequent packing of plastics at the
    start of the injection molding cycle to enable users to optimize locations
    for plastic filling and processing conditions,

                                       35
<PAGE>
    assess possible part defects and automatically determine the dimensions for
    a balanced feed system for the plastic material.

        MPI/COOL is used to design cooling circuits and a mold block around a
    part to optimize mold design by adjusting the size and locations of the
    cooling circuits. Because many warpage problems result from improper cooling
    design, using MPI/COOL for mold designs enhances ultimate product quality.
    MPI/COOL also enables all the benefits of mold cooling analysis to be
    applied to gas injection molded parts.

        MPI/WARP AND MPI/SHRINK predict and identify the cause and amount of
    warpage and shrinkage in plastic parts. The mathematical tools incorporated
    in these products permit the user to analyze warpage for the more than 4,500
    plastics materials in our database.

        MPI/FUSION allows users to work directly from three-dimensional solid
    models to perform detailed calculations. Based upon the same patent pending
    technology at the core of the MPA series of products, MPI/FUSION permits
    more rapid investigation into the characteristics of the plastic parts and
    molds being analyzed.

        MPI/FLOW3D uses a fully three-dimensional meshing and solving technology
    to analyze thick plastic parts. The majority of the MPI modules are focused
    on the broadest class of plastic parts, those that are termed thin wall.
    There are plastic parts, however, that are very thick or have widely varying
    thicknesses throughout. Until the development of MPI/FLOW3D, creators of
    these types of products had no commercially viable product alternative to
    investigate the filling process to produce better parts and molds.

        MPI/STRESS predicts the structural integrity of plastic components under
    stress to quickly predict whether initial concept designs meet desired
    structural requirements and whether the part will permanently deform if put
    under load. The stress analysis calculates the amount of force which will
    cause buckling and predicts the final buckled shape.

        MPI/FIBER utilizes sophisticated visualization tools to provide insight
    into the part's properties by allowing the user to see how fiber alignment
    varies throughout the part's layers. The fiber analysis also predicts the
    effects of fiber orientation. The effects of plastic flow on fiber
    orientation have a significant impact on the mechanical and structural
    properties of fiber filled plastic injection molded parts. Plastics are
    often filled with various forms and quantities of fibers to tailor the
    material's operating characteristics, such as strength or resistance to
    bending.

        MPI/OPTIM automatically determines the optimum processing conditions to
    be set for a specific part on an injection molding machine to produce a part
    of acceptable quality. These results may be used as input for MPX to ensure
    molding machine setup is as quick and efficient as possible. The results may
    also be used in isolation, as an input to assist the operator in finding the
    best settings for a specific machine to produce the desired parts.

        MPI/GAS provides predictive capabilities for the gas injection molding
    process. The gas injection molding process is very similar to the injection
    molding process described earlier but the machine produces an injection of
    air, timed within the filling phase to follow the injection of plastic, to
    produce wider, but hollow, channels within the part. These channels add
    structural rigidity to the end product that is often desirable for large
    parts such as television casings and lawn furniture.

        MPI/TSETS provides tools to simulate the major thermoset molding
    processes. Thermoset materials are a type of plastic which are used for
    products which must withstand higher temperatures without alteration in
    their material properties. Because other plastics may deform when exposed to
    high temperatures, thermoset materials are used for a variety of plastic
    parts such as chip holders in integrated circuits, distributor caps and
    other automotive engine components and electrical outlets.

                                       36

    The following is an example of how one of our customers has used MPI:



    HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY used our MPI product in the design of a model in its
HP Deskjet line of inkjet computer printers. Approximately 60% to 80% of the
mechanical parts used in these printers are injection molded plastic parts.
After using our MPI product, Hewlett-Packard determined that the cavity through
which plastic was fed into the mold for one of its parts was wider than
necessary and resulted in the mold taking longer to fill with plastic.



    - Hewlett-Packard was able to modify the mold by narrowing the cavity,
      resulting in a reduction in the amount of time required to produce each
      part by approximately 15 seconds, or 30%.



    - Hewlett-Packard estimated that this time savings would reduce their annual
      production costs by $1.1 million.


 MOLDFLOW PLASTICS XPERT

    Our MPX product attaches to injection molding machines to monitor and
control the manufacturing process. MPX addresses common shop floor issues such
as machine set-up, process optimization and production part quality monitoring.
MPX interacts directly with the molding machine's built-in controller to provide
optimized process correction. With MPX, engineers and die-setters can
consistently and systematically set up molds, identify a robust molding window
and monitor production. MPX can be used with substantially all injection molding
machines and provides operators with a single, intuitive user interface,
minimizing the need for machine-specific operator training. In addition, MPX
gives real-time feedback, providing a mechanism for rapid manual or automatic
process adjustments. We designed MPX to reduce mold set-up times and to optimize
the efficiency of the part production cycle. Our MPX product consists of three
integrated modules:

        SETUP XPERT enables systematic mold set-up from starting points
    generated by MPA, MPI or operator inputs, independent of operator and
    location. Setup Xpert optimizes the molding cycle and maximizes the usage of
    machine capabilities without requiring the operator to have in-depth
    knowledge of the individual machine or process. Setup Xpert quickly sets up
    and optimizes each machine, while ensuring that each operator uses the same
    set-up procedures.

        MOLDSPACE XPERT establishes a defined range of operating conditions
    within which acceptable quality parts will be produced. Moldspace Xpert can
    reduce to a few minutes an optimization task that previously took several
    hours or was not performed. The identification of a defined range of
    operating conditions is one of the key steps in being able to determine what
    operating conditions can be used by the machine to prevent scrap and machine
    downtime.

        PRODUCTION XPERT graphically monitors variables specific to the
    injection molding process and automatically evaluates the quality of the
    production process. In addition, Production Xpert spots problems and either
    provides suggestions on how to correct the process or makes the necessary
    changes.

                                       37
<PAGE>

    The following is an example of how one of our customers has used MPX:



    MONTBLANC-SIMPLO GMBH designs and sells the Montblanc brand of premium pens.
Montblanc-Simplo employs injection molding to manufacture the outer casings of
many styles of pens. Their machine operators were experiencing difficulty
identifying the precise machine operating conditions.



    - Montblanc has been able to reduce the scrap rate of pen casings by 50%
      without significantly altering the time required to manufacture each
      casing.



    - Montblanc estimated that it has been able to reduce its production set-up
      times and reset-up times by approximately 60% with an equivalent reduction
      in wasted material.

SALES AND MARKETING

    We distribute our products and services primarily through a direct sales
organization. As of March 1, 2000, our direct sales organization consisted of 28
sales associates, who operated out of offices located in Australia, France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Our direct sales model involves pairing a sales associate and an engineer to
form a single sales team. These teams work together to conduct a thorough
evaluation of potential customers' design and manufacturing processes and
provide the potential customers with a detailed analysis of the cost savings our
products could produce in a selected aspect of their business. Based upon the
success of this sales model to date in increasing sales as well as the awareness
among our potential customers of our products, we intend to continue building
our direct sales organization worldwide.

                                       38
<PAGE>
    To supplement the efforts of our direct sales organization, we also sell our
products through marketing and distribution arrangements with several design
software vendors as an integrated application on their solid modeling design
systems. For example, Parametric Technology Corporation incorporates our MPA
product in a module of its Pro/ENGINEER product, which they call Pro/PLASTIC
ADVISOR, Structural Dynamics Research Corporation or SDRC sells our MPA product
as well as many modules contained within our MPI family of products, and
Unigraphics Solutions, Inc. sells our MPA product. Several distributors of
SolidWorks Corporation, a subsidiary of Dassault Systemes S.A., distribute our
MPA product and Autodesk, Inc. has designated us an MAI partner, which gives us
access to Autodesk's distribution channel to sell our MPA product. We have
retained over 100 distributors to provide worldwide sales coverage to complement
our direct sales organization.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND OTHER SERVICES

  CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND TRAINING

    We provide customer training on our products and 24-hour customer support.
Our customers may access customer support either through our telephone hotline
or our website. In addition, our product development staff is available to solve
more complex problems.

  CONSULTING SERVICES

    In addition to traditional customer support services, we also provide
consulting services to customers who lack employees with the expertise necessary
to take advantage of the full capability of our products. We employ design
engineers who use our products on behalf of our customers to optimize their part
design and production processes. We view providing consulting services as
complementary to our core business of selling sophisticated software solutions.
Accordingly, we provide consulting services typically in cases where we believe
that providing these services will help build relationships with future
customers for our software products.

  MATERIAL TESTING SERVICES

    Our material testing group provides testing services to our customers who
are seeking accurate, reliable material data on new or existing grades of
polymers, measured under a wide range of practical molding conditions. We have
established a database containing information on more than 4,500 plastics
materials. We conduct this testing at our facility located near Melbourne,
Australia, which we have equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and a number
of injection molding machines. The research and testing conducted at this
facility provides essential data for our full line of software applications.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

    Our product development strategy focuses on ongoing development and
innovation of new technologies to increase our customers' productivity and
provide solutions that our customers can integrate into their existing computing
platforms. We plan to extend our leadership position in plastics simulation
technology by continuing to make significant investments in research and
development and to maintain our market share by rapidly creating and delivering
new product releases to our customers. We intend to take advantage of current
and future technology trends, such as the Internet, to ensure our customers are
always able to gain incremental competitive advantage in their respective
industries.

    Our product development activities take place in facilities located in the
United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. We linked the information
systems of each of these facilities to provide a continuous development
environment, enabling software development to be undertaken 24 hours per day.

                                       39
<PAGE>
    We also fund or participate in a wide assortment of external research and
development projects, often being conducted by the world's leading experts in
their fields. For instance, we currently have ongoing projects with CEMEF in
France and the University of Illinois, two highly regarded centers for plastic
material research. In many cases, under these projects we gain access to
fundamental research with comprehensive experimentation results. Often the
centers agree to restricted publishing rights in order to pursue topics of
mutual interest. A partial list of our collaborative partners includes ENSAM
(France) for shrinkage, Cranfield University (United Kingdom) for analysis of
fiber filled parts, Universities of Leeds, Bradford and Durham (United Kingdom)
for fiber orientation measurement, Technical University of Eindhoven
(Netherlands) for numerical methods, McGill University (Canada) for material
crystallization, University of Sydney (Australia) for fluid mechanics and
Nanyang Technological University of Singapore for optimization. We believe that
these relationships provide a significant benefit to our product development
efforts.

    As of March 1, 2000, our product development staff had 50 employees, most of
whom hold advanced degrees and have industry experience in engineering,
mathematics, computer science or related disciplines. We seek to recruit highly
skilled employees, and our ability to attract and retain such employees will be
a principal factor in our success in maintaining our leading technological
position. We believe that such investments in research and development are
required in order for us to remain competitive and we believe our cadre of
software developers and our worldwide development capabilities represent a
significant competitive advantage.

COMPETITION

    The markets into which our products are sold are highly competitive. We
compete with many companies engaged in selling software solutions to companies
engaged in product development and manufacturing. We also face competition from
materials vendors, injection molding machine manufacturers and small vendors,
such as independent engineering consultants. In addition, new competitors may
arise as we introduce new products into the marketplace. We believe that we have
the widest and most advanced range of software solutions and proprietary
technology to address the problems that arise in each phase of the process of
designing and manufacturing injection molded plastic parts. Although we have a
large number of current and potential competitors, we do not believe that any
competitor other than C-Mold currently constitutes a major competitor with
respect to any of our current product offerings.

    The entrance of new competitors would be likely to intensify competition in
all or a portion of the markets in which we compete. Some of our current and
possible future competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and
other resources than we do, and some have well established relationships with
our current and potential customers. Alliances among competitors may emerge and
rapidly acquire significant market share. Moreover, competition may increase as
a result of software industry consolidation.

    We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market
include:

    - speed of innovation,

    - ease of use,

    - flexibility,

    - quality,

    - ease of integration into or communication with computer-aided design
      systems,

    - compatibility across computer platforms,

    - range of supported computer platforms,

    - performance,

    - price and cost of ownership,

    - customer service and support,

                                       40
<PAGE>
    - company reputation and financial viability, and

    - effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts.

    We believe that we compete effectively on these factors.

TECHNOLOGY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

    Our proprietary technology applies general mathematical models describing
the behavior of plastics as fluids under conditions of heat and pressure to the
real world environment of plastic polymers and injection molding machines. We
believe that our broad range of proven numerical methods represents considerable
intellectual property and that these trade secrets are difficult to reproduce.
We own all of the core technology used in our products and license only assorted
peripheral software that facilitates the operation of our products' core
functions. We do not believe that the loss of any of these licenses would harm
our business operations or result in the loss of a significant amount of
revenue.

    We engage in a regular review of our proprietary technology to determine the
optimal method of protecting such technology. We have been granted a patent on
portions of our technology and have filed both U.S. and international
applications with respect to other technologies. We view these patents as one
important way of protecting our key intellectual property that may not be
protected by the use of other methods. However, we do not view any patent or
patent application to be material to our business. We may not obtain any of the
patents for which we have applied and may not be able to enforce any patents we
currently hold or obtain in the future.

    We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws,
license agreements, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical
measures to protect the unpatented proprietary technology contained in our
products. We distribute our software under software license agreements that
typically grant customers nonexclusive, nontransferable licenses to use our
products. These agreements usually restrict use of the licensed software to our
customer's internal operations on designated computers at specified sites unless
the customer obtains a site license for the customer's use of the software, and
are subject to terms and conditions prohibiting unauthorized reproduction or
transfer of the software.

    For certain software such as the MPA series, we rely primarily on
"shrink-wrapped" or "click-wrapped" licenses that are not signed by licensees
and therefore may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

    We also seek to protect the source code of our software through trade secret
and copyright law. We have obtained or applied for United States federal
trademark mark protection for Moldflow, MPI, MPA, MPX and a number of other
trademarks and logos. We have also applied for or obtained trademark
registrations of these key marks in a number of foreign jurisdictions and are in
the process of seeking trademark registrations in other foreign countries.

    We require our employees and consultants to sign a confidentiality and
non-competition agreement. Under these agreements, our employees agree not to
disclose trade secrets or confidential information and agree not to engage in or
be connected with any business that is competitive with our business while
employed by us, and in some cases for specified periods thereafter. Within these
agreements, employees also agree that any products or technology they create
during the term of their employment are our property.

    Despite these precautions, misappropriation of our technology may occur.
Further, patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be
available for our products in every country.

                                       41
<PAGE>
    The software development industry is characterized by rapid technological
change. Therefore, we believe that factors such as the technological and
creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product
enhancements, name recognition and reliable product maintenance are more
important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position than
the various legal protections of our technology which may be available.

    We seek to monitor the public records in order to become aware of any
potentially conflicting proprietary rights. To date, we have not received any
notification that any of our products infringe on the proprietary rights of
third parties. We can not assure you, however, that third parties will not claim
such infringement by us or our licensors with respect to current or future
products. We expect that software product developers will increasingly be
subject to such claims as the number of products and competitors in our market
segment grows and the product functionality in different market segments
overlaps. In addition, patents on software and business methods are becoming
more common and we expect that more patents will issue in our technical field.
Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in
costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into
royalty or licensing agreements. Moreover, such royalty or licensing agreements,
if required, may not be on terms acceptable to us.

    We integrate third-party software into our products. This software may not
continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms. If we cannot maintain
licenses to this third-party software, distribution of our products could be
delayed until equivalent software could be developed or licensed and integrated
into our products. This could cause delays in our product sales and development
efforts.

EMPLOYEES

    As of March 1, 2000, we had 163 employees, 55 of whom resided in Australia,
42 of whom resided in the United States, 15 of whom resided in the United
Kingdom and 51 of whom resided in other countries. None of our employees is
subject to any collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relationship
with our employees is good.

FACILITIES

    We operate out of two primary facilities. We lease a 7,900 square foot
office in Lexington, Massachusetts pursuant to a 5-year lease that expires in
November 2001. The Lexington facility is our corporate headquarters. Personnel
located at the Lexington facility include most of our senior management team,
some of our North American sales force, some product marketing and development
personnel and some finance and administration personnel. We also own an 18,100
square foot office building set on approximately 15 acres in the Kilsyth suburb
of Melbourne, Australia. Personnel located at our Melbourne facility include
members of our software development and research team, our materials testing
personnel and a portion of our Asia Pacific sales force. We also maintain an
office containing a smaller group of our sales, administrative and software
development personnel in the United Kingdom as well as direct sales offices in
Korea, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Italy and France. We had aggregate lease payments
of $664,000 in our 1999 fiscal year.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    In February 1999, we filed suit in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of New York against a former employee, Leonid K. Antanovskii,
and his current employer, C-Mold. We are seeking immediate and permanent
injunctive relief and monetary damages arising from the alleged theft and
misappropriation of some of our trade secrets. Specifically, we allege
misappropriation of trade secrets, proprietary information and confidential
information, breach of

                                       42
<PAGE>
contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith, breach of fiduciary duty,
aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, interference
with contractual relations, fraud, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment. On
February 28, 1999, the court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting
Mr. Antanovskii and C-Mold from using or disclosing our confidential and trade
secret information. On January 11, 2000, the court denied C-Mold's motion to
vacate the preliminary injunction and ordered that it remain in place. On the
same date the court also held Mr. Antanovskii and C-Mold in contempt of court
and ordered sanctions, including the award of attorneys' fees in connection with
the motion, against Mr. Antanovskii and C-Mold.

    In March 1999, C-Mold filed counterclaims against us alleging that we had
violated federal antitrust laws, committed defamation and trade libel and
tortiously interfered with C-Mold's prospective business advantage.
Specifically, C-Mold alleges that we have engaged in predatory and
anticompetitive conduct in an attempt to monopolize the market for computer
software for use in simulating, modeling and analyzing the design and
manufacture of plastic injection molded articles or products and their
corresponding molds, particularly in full three-dimensional geometry. C-Mold
alleges antitrust violations based on bad faith assertion of a trade secret
claim and predatory pricing. In addition, C-Mold claims that we made certain
disparaging comments regarding C-Mold's products and its business. C-Mold has
requested that the court awards costs, attorneys' fees, injunctive relief and
monetary damages. We filed a motion to dismiss the amended counterclaims in
July 1999 and all discovery with respect to the counterclaims was stayed. On
January 26, 2000, the court granted our motion to dismiss these counterclaims in
part and denied it in part. All aspects of the litigation are currently being
held in abeyance upon agreement of the parties, in connection with our pending
acquisition of C-Mold. If the acquisition is completed, this litigation will be
dismissed with prejudice by the agreement of all parties. If for any reason our
acquisition of C-Mold is not completed, we expect that the litigation will
resume.

    In the event that the litigation resumes, we intend to vigorously defend
against the remaining counterclaims. We believe that the counterclaims are
without merit.

    We have incurred and may continue to incur significant expenses in the
course of pursuing our claims in this case and defending the counterclaims made
against us. For the year ended June 30, 1999 and the six months ended
January 1, 2000, our litigation expenses were $620,000 and $530,000.

    From time to time we may be involved in other disputes and litigation
matters that arise in the ordinary course of business.

PENDING ACQUISITION

    On February 11, 2000, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
C-Mold. C-Mold has developed software that is complementary to our current
product offerings in the areas of part design and in-depth plastics simulation.
In particular, we believe the acquisition of C-Mold will enhance our development
capabilities and enable us to broaden our product lines into adjacent markets
more quickly. C-Mold had $7.7 million in revenue for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999. The purchase price will be $11.0 million in cash. The
acquisition is subject to a number of closing conditions, including completion
of our business and financial review of C-Mold, delivery by C-Mold of disclosure
schedules in a form satisfactory to us, settlement of our outstanding litigation
with C-Mold, approval by C-Mold's stockholders and our obtaining financing for
the acquisition. We anticipate that the acquisition will close on or prior to
May 31, 2000. However, our acquisition of C-Mold may not be completed.

(1) Subject to each executive officer's continued employment with Moldflow, 25%
    of the options in each option grant vest on the first anniversary of the
    date of the grant and the remaining options vest in equal quarterly
    installments through the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant. In
    addition, these options also vest in full upon any change of control of
    Moldflow as defined in the options.


(2) Based on an aggregate of 368,480 options granted to employees in fiscal
    1999.


(3) The amounts shown as potential realizable value illustrate what might be
    realized upon exercise immediately prior to expiration of the option term
    using the 5% and 10% appreciation rates compounded annually as established

FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES

    The following table sets forth information concerning the number and value
of unexercised options to purchase common stock held as of June 30, 1999 by the
executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table. There was no public
trading market for our common stock as of June 30, 1999. Accordingly, the values
of the unexercised in-the-money options have been calculated on the basis of the
estimated fair value of our common stock at June 30, 1999 of $6.00 per share,
less the applicable exercise price multiplied by the number of shares which may
be acquired on exercise. None of the executive officers listed in the Summary
Compensation Table exercised any stock options in fiscal 1999.

2000 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

    Our board of directors has adopted and our stockholders have approved the
2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
allows for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock plus an
additional amount equal to 20% of any net increase in the total number of shares
of common stock outstanding after this offering. Our compensation committee will
administer the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.

    Under the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, our compensation committee
may:

    - grant incentive stock options,

    - grant non-qualified stock options,

    - grant stock appreciation rights,

    - issue or sell common stock with vesting or other restrictions, or without
      restrictions,

    - grant rights to receive common stock in the future with or without
      vesting,

    - grant common stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals, and

    - grant dividend rights in respect of common stock.

These grants and issuances may be made to officers, employees, directors,
consultants, advisors and other key persons of Moldflow.

    Our compensation committee has the right, in its discretion, to select the
individuals eligible to receive awards, determine the terms and conditions of
the awards granted, accelerate the vesting schedule of any award and generally
administer and interpret the plan.

    The exercise price of options granted under the 2000 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan is determined by our compensation committee. Under present law,
incentive stock options and options intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may not
be granted at an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of grant, or less than 110% of the fair market value in the
case of incentive stock options granted to optionees holding more than 10% of
the voting power.

    Non-qualified stock options may be granted at prices which are less than the
fair market value of the underlying shares on the date granted. Options are
typically subject to vesting schedules, terminate eight years from the date of
grant and may be exercised for specified periods after the

                                       48
<PAGE>
termination of the optionee's employment or other service relationship with us.
Upon the exercise of options, the option exercise price must be paid in full
either in cash or by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to
the committee or by delivery of shares of common stock that have been owned by
the optionee free of restrictions for at least six months.

    The 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and all awards issued under the
plan will terminate upon a merger, reorganization or consolidation, the sale of
all or substantially all of our assets or all of our outstanding capital stock
or a liquidation or other similar transaction, unless Moldflow and the other
parties to such transactions have agreed otherwise.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

    The Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by our board of directors in
January 2000 and was approved by our stockholders in February 2000. Up to
500,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is administered by our
compensation committee.

    The first offering under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will commence on
July 1, 2000 and end on December 31, 2000. Subsequent offerings will commence on
each January 1 and July 1 thereafter and will have a duration of six months.
Generally, all employees who are customarily employed for more than 20 hours per
week as of the first day of the applicable offering period are eligible to
participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Any employee who owns or is
deemed to own shares of stock representing in excess of 5% of the combined
voting power of all classes of our stock may not participate in the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan.

    During each offering, an employee may purchase shares under the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan by authorizing payroll deductions of up to 10% of his cash
compensation during the offering period. Unless the employee has previously
withdrawn from the offering, his accumulated payroll deductions will be used to
purchase shares of our common stock on the last business day of the period at a
price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the first or
last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. Under applicable tax rules,
an employee may purchase no more than $25,000 worth of our common stock in any
calendar year under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We have not issued any
shares to date under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

1997 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

    The 1997 Equity Incentive Plan was initially approved by our board of
directors in August 1997 and was approved by our stockholders in October 1997.
The 1997 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of 1,537,158 shares of
our common stock. As of March 1, 2000, options to purchase 599,900 shares of our
common stock were outstanding under the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan. Options
granted under the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan generally vest over four years and
terminate on the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. We will not make any
additional grants under the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan after the completion of
this offering.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS


    We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Dulude,
Thomas, Underwood and Welch and Ms. Rogers. Each agreement is for a period of
one year, and will be automatically extended for one additional year on the
anniversary date unless either party has given notice that it does not wish to
extend the agreement. Each agreement provides for the payment of base salary and
incentive compensation and for the provision of certain fringe benefits to the
executive. The agreements require our executive officers to refrain from
competing with Moldflow and from soliciting our employees for a period of twelve
months following termination for any reason. Each agreement also provides for
certain payments and benefits for an executive officer should his or her
employment with us be terminated because of death or disability, by the
executive for good reason or by us without cause, as further defined in the
agreements. In general, in the case of a termination by the executive officer
for good reason, or by us without cause, the executive


                                       49
<PAGE>

officer will receive up to one year of salary, an extension of benefits for one
year and an acceleration of vesting for stock options and restricted stock which
otherwise would vest during the next twelve months. Upon a change of control, as
defined in the agreements, the executive officer is eligible for payment of a
minimum of six months and up to one year of salary, an extension of benefits for
one year and an acceleration of vesting for all outstanding stock options and
restricted stock. Mr. Dulude's agreement also includes certain provisions
requiring Moldflow to increase the payments to him following a change in control
in the event that amounts paid to him would subject him to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.


RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENTS

    In July 1998, Messrs. Dulude, Underwood and Welch and Ms. Rogers purchased
from Moldflow a total of 551,287 shares of common stock at a price of $0.36 per
share. Each of these executive officers paid for the shares by delivering to
Moldflow a promissory note, which bears interest at a rate of 5.77% per year.
Principal and interest on the notes become payable in full on June 30, 2003, but
may be prepaid at any time. Each of these executive officers also entered into a
stock restriction agreement with Moldflow. Pursuant to these agreements,
Moldflow has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase a portion of these
shares at the initial purchase price per share upon the termination for any
reason of the employment of the respective executive officer. The repurchase
rights with respect to these shares lapse on varying schedules through
October 2002 so long as the executive officer who purchased the shares remains
an employee of Moldflow. The repurchase right with respect to a portion of these
shares will also lapse if Moldflow terminates the employment of the executive
officer without cause as defined in his or her employment agreement or if
employment terminates due to his or her death or disability. The repurchase
right will lapse in its entirety in the event Moldflow experiences a change in
control as defined in the executive officers' employment agreements.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

    Messrs. Beale and Yie are the members of our compensation committee. Neither
Mr. Beale nor Mr. Yie is an executive officer of Moldflow or has received any
compensation from Moldflow within the last three years other than in his
capacity as a director.

    In January 1997, we entered into loan agreements with a group of our
stockholders consisting of JTC Investment Management Pty. Ltd., funds associated
with Ampersand Ventures, Thomas Investments Australia Pty. Ltd, Floatflow
Pty. Ltd. and Helmet Investments Australia Pty. Ltd. pursuant to which these
stockholders provided us with a credit line of approximately $1.1 million. In
July 1998, we converted the outstanding principal balance of $890,000 under this
credit line into 698,609 shares of our series C-3 convertible preferred stock
and paid these stockholders $107,000 of accrued interest. Mr. Yie is affiliated
with the funds associated with Ampersand Ventures, and Mr. Beale is affiliated
with JTC Investment Management Pty. Ltd.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

1997 REORGANIZATION

    In June 1997, our predecessor, Moldflow International Pty. Ltd., an
Australian corporation, entered into a reorganization agreement with Moldflow
and its stockholders. In the reorganization, the stockholders of Moldflow
International became stockholders of Moldflow, and Moldflow International became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moldflow. Stockholders of Moldflow International
were issued shares of either Moldflow's common stock, series A convertible
preferred stock or series B convertible preferred stock. In March 1998, these
shares of common stock, series A convertible preferred and series B convertible
preferred were redesignated as series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred
stock. Upon completion of this offering, all shares of our outstanding preferred
stock will be converted into shares of common stock.

LOANS FROM STOCKHOLDERS

    In January 1997, we entered into loan agreements with a group of our
stockholders consisting of JTC Investment Management Pty. Ltd., funds associated
with Ampersand Ventures, Thomas Investments Australia Pty. Ltd, Floatflow
Pty. Ltd. and Helmet Investments Australia Pty. Ltd. pursuant to which these
stockholders provided us with a credit line of approximately $1.1 million. In
July 1998, we converted the outstanding principal balance of $890,000 under this
credit line into 698,609 shares of our series C-3 convertible preferred stock
and paid these stockholders $107,000 of accrued interest. Dr. Charpie and
Mr. Yie, directors of Moldflow, are affiliated with the funds associated with
Ampersand Ventures, Mr. Beale, also a director of Moldflow, is affiliated with
JTC Investment Management Pty. Ltd., and Mr. Thomas, our Vice President of
Research and Development and a director of Moldflow, is the beneficial owner of
Thomas Investments Australia Pty. Ltd.

LOAN TO EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR

    In July 1999, Mr. Thomas borrowed approximately $129,000 from our
subsidiary, Moldflow International, pursuant to a promissory note. This
promissory note is not interest bearing and is due on July 1, 2000. The amounts
due under this promissory note will be completely offset by amounts due to
Mr. Thomas on July 1, 2000 pursuant to the terms of a deferred compensation
arrangement between Moldflow and Mr. Thomas.

    In connection with the expatriate assignment of Mr. Thomas from Australia to
the United States, Moldflow loaned him $87,000 in September 1996. The loan was
repaid in January 1999.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

    In addition, other agreements with our executive officers are described
under "Management--Employment Agreements" and "Management--Restricted Stock

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK

    Following the offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of
60,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 9,081,496 will be issued and
outstanding, and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock issuable in
one or more series designated by our board of directors, of which no shares will
be issued and outstanding. In addition, 599,900 shares of our common stock will
be issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding and 2,500,000 shares of
our common stock will be available for future grant under our stock option plan
and our employee stock purchase plan.

COMMON STOCK

    VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of our common stock have one vote per share.
Holders of our common stock are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the
election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders
must be approved by a majority, or, in the case of the election of directors, by
a plurality, of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, voting
together as a single class, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of
any then outstanding preferred stock.

    DIVIDENDS.  Holders of common stock will share ratably in any dividends
declared by our board of directors, subject to the preferential rights of any
preferred stock then outstanding. Dividends consisting of shares of common stock
may be paid to holders of shares of common stock.

    OTHER RIGHTS.  Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Moldflow, all
holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in any assets available
for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. No shares of common stock
are subject to redemption or have preemptive rights to purchase additional
shares of common stock.

PREFERRED STOCK

    Our certificate of incorporation provides that shares of preferred stock may
be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is
authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences,
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares
of each series. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue
preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the
voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have
anti-takeover effects, including preferred stock or rights to acquire preferred
stock in connection with implementing a shareholder rights plan. We have no
present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. The ability of our board
of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Moldflow
or the removal of existing management.

INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

    Prior to the offering, we will have entered into indemnification agreements
with each of our directors. The form of indemnification agreement provides that
we will indemnify our directors for expenses incurred because of their status as
a director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of
incorporation and our by-laws.

    Our certificate of incorporation contains a provision permitted by Delaware
law that generally eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary
damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty, including breaches involving
negligence or gross negligence in business combinations, unless the director has
breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, paid a dividend or
approved a stock

                                       54
<PAGE>
repurchase in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law or obtained an
improper personal benefit. This provision does not alter a director's liability
under the federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of
equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for breach of fiduciary
duty. Our by-laws provide that directors and officers shall be, and in the
discretion of our board of directors, non-officer employees may be, indemnified
by Moldflow to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists
or may in the future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably
incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of Moldflow. Our by-laws
also provide for the advancement of expenses to directors and, in the discretion
of our board of directors, to officers and non-officer employees. In addition,
our by-laws provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification
shall be a contract right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now
possessed or hereafter acquired under any by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or otherwise. We also have directors' and officers' insurance
against certain liabilities. We believe that the indemnification agreements,
together with the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and by-laws and directors' and officers' insurance
will assist us in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as
directors and officers of Moldflow.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be provided to directors, officers or persons controlling Moldflow
as described above, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. At present,
there is no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any director,
officer, employee or agent of Moldflow in which indemnification will be required
or permitted.

PROVISIONS OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS THAT MAY HAVE
  ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS

    Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws described
below, as well as the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of
preferred stock and to set the voting rights, preferences and other terms
thereof, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may discourage
takeover attempts not first approved by our board of directors, including
takeovers which particular stockholders may deem to be in their best interests.
These provisions also could have the effect of discouraging open market
purchases of our common stock because they may be considered disadvantageous by
a stockholder who desires subsequent to such purchases to participate in a
business combination transaction with us or to elect a new director to our
board.

  CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    Our board of directors is divided into three classes serving staggered
three-year terms, with approximately one-third of the board being elected each
year. Our classified board, together with certain other provisions of our
certificate of incorporation authorizing the board of directors to fill vacant
directorships or increase the size of the board, may prevent a stockholder from
removing, or delay the removal of, incumbent directors and simultaneously
gaining control of the board of directors by filling vacancies created by such
removal with its own nominees.

  DIRECTOR VACANCIES AND REMOVAL

    Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that vacancies in our
board of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the remaining directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that
directors may be removed from office only with cause and only by the affirmative
vote of holders of at least 75% of the shares then entitled to vote at an
election of directors.

                                       55
<PAGE>
  NO STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

    Our certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or
permitted to be taken by our stockholders at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders must be effected at a duly called meeting and may not be taken or
effected by a written consent of stockholders.

  SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

    Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that a special meeting
of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors. Our by-laws
provide that only those matters included in the notice of the special meeting
may be considered or acted upon at that special meeting unless otherwise
provided by law.

  ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

    Our by-laws include advance notice and informational requirements and time
limitations on any director nomination or any new proposal which a stockholder
wishes to make at an annual meeting of stockholders. For the first annual
meeting following the completion of this offering, a stockholder's notice of a
director nomination or proposal will be timely if delivered to the Secretary of
Moldflow at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business
on the later of the 75th day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting
or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of
such annual meeting is made by Moldflow.

AMENDMENT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

    As required by Delaware law, any amendment to our certificate of
incorporation must first be approved by a majority of our board of directors
and, if required by law, thereafter approved by a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote with respect to such amendment, except that any
amendment to the provisions relating to stockholder action by written consent,
directors, limitation of liability and the amendment of our certificate of
incorporation must be approved by not less than 75% of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote with respect to such amendment.

AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS

    Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that our by-laws may be
amended or repealed by our board of directors or by the stockholders. Such
action by the board of directors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the directors then in office. Such action by the stockholders requires the
affirmative vote of at least 75% of the shares present in person or represented
by proxy at an annual meeting of stockholders or a special meeting called for
such purpose unless our board of directors recommends that the stockholders
approve such amendment or repeal at such meeting, in which case such amendment
or repeal only requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present
in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

STATUTORY BUSINESS COMBINATION PROVISION

    Following the offering, we will be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, which prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation
from consummating a "business combination," except under certain circumstances,
with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date such
person became an "interested stockholder" unless:

    - before such person became an interested stockholder, the board of
      directors of the corporation approved the transaction in which the
      interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the
      business combination;

                                       56
<PAGE>
    - upon the closing of the transaction that resulted in the interested
      stockholder becoming such, the interested stockholder owned at least 85%
      of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the
      transaction commenced, excluding shares held by directors who are also
      officers of the corporation and shares held by employee stock plans; or

    - following the transaction in which such person became an interested
      stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of
      directors of the corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders
      by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the
      outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the interested
      stockholder.

    The term "interested stockholder" generally is defined as a person who,
together with affiliates and associates, owns, or, within the prior three years,
owned, 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock. The term
"business combination" includes mergers, consolidations, asset sales involving
10% or more of a corporation's assets and other similar transactions resulting
in a financial benefit to an interested stockholder. Section 203 makes it more
difficult for an "interested stockholder" to effect various business
combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. A Delaware corporation
may "opt out"of Section 203 with an express provision in its original
certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its certificate of
incorporation or by-laws resulting from an amendment approved by holders of at
least a majority of the outstanding voting stock. Neither our certificate of
incorporation nor our by-laws contain any such exclusion.

TRADING ON THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET SYSTEM

    We have applied to have our common stock approved for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol MFLO.

NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

    No holder of any class of our stock has any preemptive right to purchase any
of our securities.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

    The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock will be EquiServe
Trust Company, N.A.

                                       57
<PAGE>
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

    Prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock, and
we cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of common stock or the
availability of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our
common stock prevailing from time to time. Nonetheless, substantial sales of
common stock in the public market following this offering, or the perception
that such sales could occur, could lower the market price of our common stock or
make it difficult for us to raise additional equity capital in the future.

    Following this offering, there will be 9,081,496 shares of our common stock
outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and
no exercise of outstanding options. All of the shares which are being sold in
this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act unless the shares are purchased by
"affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

    The remaining 6,081,496 shares of common stock held by existing stockholders
that will be outstanding after the offering will be "restricted securities" as
defined in Rule 144, and may be sold in the future without registration under
the Securities Act subject to compliance with the provisions of Rule 144,
Rule 701 or any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act.

    In connection with this offering, our existing officers, directors and
stockholders, who hold substantially all of our currently outstanding shares of
common stock and will own an aggregate of 6,080,024 shares of common stock after
this offering and 527,572 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock
options outstanding, have agreed with the underwriters that, subject to
exceptions, they will not sell or dispose of any of their shares for 180 days
after the date of this prospectus. Adams, Harkness & Hill, Inc. may, in its sole
discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the
shares subject to such restrictions. Subject to these lock-up agreements, the
shares of common stock outstanding upon the closing of the offering will be
available for sale in the public market as follows:

            3,000,000   After the date of this prospectus, freely tradeable shares
                        sold in the offering.

            6,006,048   After 180 days from the date of this prospectus, the lock-up
                        period will expire and these shares will be saleable under
                        Rule 144.

               75,448   On various dates following the 180th day from the date of
                        this prospectus, these shares will vest and be saleable
                        under Rule 144.
</TABLE>

    In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person who has
beneficially owned shares for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any
three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

    - one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock, which is
      expected to be approximately 90,815 shares upon the completion of this
      offering, or

    - the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four
      calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale is filed,
      subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the
      availability of current public information about us.

Affiliates may sell shares not constituting restricted securities in accordance
with the foregoing volume limitations and other restrictions, but without regard
to the one-year holding period.

                                       58
<PAGE>
    In addition, a person who was not an affiliate of ours, as defined in
Rule 144, at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has
beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years would
be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the
requirements described above. To the extent that shares were acquired from an
affiliate of ours, such person's holding period for the purpose of effecting a
sale under Rule 144 commences on the date of transfer from the affiliate.

    In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect,
each of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us in
connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement is eligible
to resell those shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering in
reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions,
including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

    We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares or the
availability of shares for sale will have on the market price of our common
stock prevailing from time to time. We are unable to estimate the number of our
shares that may be sold in the public market pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 701
because this will depend on the market price of our common stock, the personal
circumstances of the sellers and other factors. Nevertheless, sales of
significant amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock.

    We have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of common
stock during the 180-day period following the date of this prospectus, except we
may issue, and grant options to purchase, shares of common stock under the 2000
Stock Option and Incentive Plan and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

    We intend to file registration statements on Form S-8 with respect to the
aggregate of       shares of common stock issuable under our 2000 Stock Option
and Incentive Plan approximately 180 days following this offering. We intend to
file a registration statement with respect to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan
promptly following the consummation of this offering. Shares issued upon the
exercise of stock options after the effective date of the Form S-8 registration
statement will be eligible for resale in the public market without restriction,
except that affiliates must comply with Rule 144.

    The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters' obligation to
purchase shares of common stock depends on the satisfaction of the conditions
contained in the underwriting agreement and that, if any of the shares of common
stock are purchased by the underwriters under the underwriting agreement, all of
the shares of common stock that the underwriters have agreed to purchase under
the underwriting agreement must be purchased. The conditions contained in the
underwriting agreement include the requirement that the representations and
warranties made by us and the selling stockholders to the underwriters are true,
that there is no material change in the financial markets and that we deliver to
the underwriters customary closing documents.

    The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that the
underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public
at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and
to dealers, who may include the underwriters, at the public offering price less
a selling concession not in excess of $      per share. The underwriters may
also allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $      per
share to brokers and dealers. After the offering, the underwriters may change
the offering price and other selling terms.

    Adams, Harkness & Hill, Inc. and A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. have informed us
that the underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of shares of common stock
offered by this prospectus to any accounts over which they exercise
discretionary authority.

    The following table shows the per share and total public offering price,
underwriting discount to be paid by us to the underwriters and the proceeds
before expenses to us and the selling stockholders. This information is
presented assuming both no exercise and full exercise by the underwriters of
their over-allotment option.

    The total proceeds before expenses to be received by us from this offering
will be approximately $36.3 million, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment
option.

    The expenses of this offering, exclusive of the underwriting discount, are
estimated at $1.5 million and are payable by us.

    We have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase from us and the
selling stockholders up to 450,000 additional shares of common stock,
exercisable solely to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering
price less the underwriting discount shown on the cover page of this prospectus.
The underwriters may exercise this option at any time until 30 days after the
date of the underwriting agreement. If this option is exercised, each
underwriter will be committed, so long as the conditions of the underwriting
agreement are satisfied, to purchase a number of additional shares of common
stock proportionate to the underwriters' initial commitment as indicated in the
preceding table and we and the selling stockholders will be obligated, under the
over-allotment option, to sell the shares of common stock to the underwriters.

    We have agreed that, without the prior consent of Adams, Harkness &
Hill, Inc., we will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities which may be converted
into or exchanged for any such shares of common stock for a period of 180 days
from the date of this prospectus. Our executive officers and directors, the
selling stockholders and other stockholders who currently hold in the aggregate
more than 99% of our outstanding common stock have agreed under lock-up
agreements that, without the prior written consent of Adams, Harkness &
Hill, Inc., they will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities that may be converted
into or exchanged for any such shares other than 268,344 shares that may be sold
by selling stockholders in connection with the underwriters' exercise of the
over-allotment option for the period ending 180 days after the date of this
prospectus.

    Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares of
common stock. The initial public offering price and the underwriters'
compensation will be negotiated between the representatives and us. In
determining the initial public offering price of the common stock, we and the
representatives will consider, in addition to prevailing market conditions, our
historical performance and capital structure, estimates of our business
potential and earning prospects, an overall assessment of our management and the
consideration of the above factors in relation to the market valuation of
companies in related businesses.

    We and the selling stockholders will indemnify the underwriters against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and
liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in
the underwriting agreement, and contribute to payments that the underwriters may
be required to make for certain liabilities.

    Until the distribution of the common stock is completed, rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission may limit the ability of the underwriters and
selling group members to bid for and purchase shares of common stock. As an
exception to these rules, the representatives are permitted to engage in
transactions that stabilize the price of the common stock. These transactions
may consist of bids or purchases for the purposes of pegging, fixing or
maintaining the price of the common stock.

    The underwriters may create a short position in the common stock in
connection with the offering, which means that they may sell more shares than
are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. If the underwriters create a
short position, then the representatives may reduce that short position by
purchasing common stock in the open market. The representatives also may elect
to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment
option.

    The representatives also may impose a penalty bid on underwriters and
selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase shares of
common stock in the open market to reduce the underwriters' short position or to
stabilize the price of the common stock, the

                                       61
<PAGE>
representatives may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the
underwriters and selling group members who sold those shares as part of the
offering. In addition, the representatives reserve the right to reclaim selling
concessions from underwriters and selling group members if the representatives
receive a report that clients of the underwriters and selling group members have
sold the stock they purchased in this offering, generally within 30 days
following this offering. The representatives reserve this right even if the
representatives do not purchase shares in the open market.

    In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to
reduce a syndicate short position could cause the price of the security to be
higher than it might otherwise be in the absence of such purchases. The
imposition of a penalty bid might have an effect on the price of a security to
the extent that it might discourage resales of the security by purchasers in an
offering.

    The underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial public offering price
up to 225,000 shares of our common stock for persons designated by Moldflow. The
number of shares available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the
extent such persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so
purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same
basis as other shares offered hereby. Moldflow intends, through Adams,
Harkness & Hill, Inc. and A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., to seek indications of
interest from designated persons, including employees, customers and others with
whom Moldflow has or may seek to develop business relationships. No offers or
other solicitations were made prior to the filing of the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part. Moldflow has not sent communications to
anyone regarding the purchase of reserved shares and has not determined how many
persons it will contact.

                            VALIDITY OF COMMON STOCK

    The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed
upon for Moldflow by Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP, Boston, Massachusetts. Various
legal matters related to the sale of the common stock offered hereby will be
passed upon for the underwriters by Ropes & Gray, Boston, Massachusetts.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Moldflow Corporation

    The 2.4-to-1 reverse stock split approved by the Board of Directors on
January 20, 2000 described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements
has not been consummated at March 1, 2000. When it has been consummated, we will
be in a position to furnish the following report:

       "In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the
       related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity
       and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
       position of Moldflow Corporation and its subsidiaries at June 30, 1999
       and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
       the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, 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."

                              MOLDFLOW CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

    Moldflow Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware, USA in
January 1997. The Company was formed as the successor corporation to Moldflow
International Pty. Ltd. ("MIPL"), an Australian corporation that had been
incorporated in March 1994. On August 5, 1997, the stockholders of MIPL effected
a reorganization of that company's shares, resulting in MIPL becoming a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, and the stockholders of MIPL becoming
stockholders of the Company (Note 7). Given the carryover of the stockholders'
interests in MIPL to the Company, these consolidated financial statements
present together the financial position and results of operations of MIPL and
the Company before and after the reorganization.

    The Company was formed to design, develop, manufacture and market computer
software applications for the design, engineering and manufacture of injection
molded plastic parts and, as such, revenues are derived from the plastic design
and manufacturing industry. The Company sells its products primarily to
customers in the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia.

    The Company's fiscal year end is June 30. References to 1997, 1998 or 1999
mean the fiscal year ended June 30, unless otherwise indicated. During the
fiscal year, the Company follows a schedule in which each interim quarterly
period ends on the Saturday of the thirteenth full week of the reporting period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries, whose functional
currency is the local currency, are translated at the rates in effect at the
balance sheet date and translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders'
equity. Statement of operations amounts are translated at the average rate for
the year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other
income and expense.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash
primarily in over-night investments held at major financial institutions.
Accordingly, these investments are subject to minimal credit and market risk and
are reported at cost, which approximates fair value.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

    Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations
of credit risk include only accounts receivable. The Company's customer base
consists of a large number of geographically dispersed customers. The Company
maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable and such
losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management expectations.

    Revenue of $2,206,000 (15% of total revenue), $2,074,000 (13% of total
revenue) and $1,888,000 (9% of total revenue) was attributable to one customer
in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. At June 30, 1998 and 1999, accounts
receivable from that customer accounted for

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
$462,000 (10% of total accounts receivable) and $153,000 (3% of total accounts
receivable), respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
deferred revenue, and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these instruments
at June 30, 1999 approximate their fair values.

INVENTORIES

    Inventories are predominantly finished goods and are stated at the lower of
cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or market.

FIXED ASSETS

    Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Fixed assets held under
capital leases are stated at the lower of the fair market value of the related
asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the
lease and are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the
life of the related asset or the term of the lease.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," the Company records impairment losses on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets' carrying amount. Through June 30, 1999, the Company had not
recognized an impairment loss on its long-lived assets.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software products and from
services consisting of maintenance and support, consulting, material testing and
training. Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted the guidelines of
Statement of Position (SoP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SoP 97-2"),
which provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
recognizing revenue on software transactions.

    The Company recognizes revenue from sales of software licenses upon product
shipment and upon receipt of a signed purchase order or contract, provided that
the license fee is fixed and determinable, collection is probable and all other
revenue recognition criteria of SoP 97-2 are met. The Company's software
products do not require significant modification or customization. Installation
of the products is generally routine, requires insignificant effort and is not
essential to the functionality of the product. The Company recognizes revenue
from maintenance and support ratably over the contract period and from training
and other related services as the services are performed.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    Costs associated with the research and development of the Company's products
are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the development of computer
software are expensed prior to establishing technological feasibility, as
defined by SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," and capitalized thereafter until
commercial release of the software products. Software development costs eligible
for capitalization have not been significant to date.

ADVERTISING COSTS

    The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred, or as appropriate,
the first time advertising takes place. Advertising expense for the years ended
June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999 was $252,000, $207,000 and $741,000, respectively.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretation. Accordingly, compensation
expense is recorded for options issued to employees in fixed amounts to the
extent that the fixed exercise prices are less than the fair market value of the
Company's common stock at the date of grant. The Company follows the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
(Note 9). All stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for at their
fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE--HISTORICAL

    The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," ("SFAS 128") and SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic
earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and, when dilutive, all
potential common equivalent shares outstanding including restricted stock,
options and warrants. The dilutive effect of options and warrants to purchase
common stock is determined under the treasury stock method using the average
fair value of common stock for the period (Note 10).

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE--PRO FORMA (UNAUDITED)

    Pro forma net income per common share for the year ended June 30, 1999 and
the six months ended January 1, 2000 is calculated assuming that the automatic
conversion of all convertible preferred stock outstanding had occurred at
July 1, 1998 and July 1, 1999, respectively (Note 7). The calculation of pro
forma net income per common share for the year ended June 30, 1999 does not
include 411,000 potential shares of common stock equivalents, as their inclusion
would be antidilutive. The calculation of pro forma net income per common share
for the six months ended January 1, 2000 does not include 289,000 potential
shares of common stock equivalents, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

    As required, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," on July 1, 1998 (Note 15). SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim
and annual financial statements. SFAS No. 131 relates to disclosure only and had
no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    As required, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" on July 1, 1998. Under SFAS No. 130, the Company is required to display
comprehensive income and its components as part of the Company's full set of
financial statements. The measurement and presentation of net income did not
change. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive
income. Other comprehensive income includes certain changes in equity that are
excluded from net income. At June 30, 1999, accumulated other comprehensive
income was comprised solely of cumulative foreign currency translation
adjustments. The individual components of comprehensive income are reflected in
the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the years ended June 30,
1997, 1998 and 1999.

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The interim consolidated financial statements and related notes as of
January 1, 2000 and for the six month periods ended January 2, 1999 and
January 1, 2000 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's management, the
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations for these
interim periods. The results of operations for the six months ended January 1,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year
ended June 30, 2000 or any other future period.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET

    Under the terms of the Company's convertible preferred stock (Note 7), all
such preferred stock will be converted automatically into 5,488,450 shares of
common stock in connection with an initial public offering of common stock.
Also, the holder of an outstanding warrant to purchase common stock (Note 6) has
committed to exercise the warrant in connection with the initial public offering
of common stock; the warrant is exercisable for 20,833 shares of common stock at
$7.20 per share. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet reflects the conversion
of the preferred stock and the exercise of the warrant as if the conversion and
exercise had occurred on January 1, 2000.

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 expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In December 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
No. 98-9, "Modification of SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with
Respect to Certain Transactions" ("SOP 98-9"). SOP 98-9 amends SOP 97-2 to
require recognition of revenue using the "residual method" in circumstances
outlined in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized as
follows: (1) the total fair value of undelivered elements, as indicated by
vendor specific objective evidence, is deferred and subsequently recognized in
accordance with the relevant sections of SOP 97-2 and (2) the difference between
the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements
is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements. SOP 98-9 is
effective for transactions entered in fiscal years beginning after March 15,
1999 (fiscal 2000 for the Company). Also, the provisions of SOP 97-2 that were
deferred by SOP 98-4 will continue to be deferred until the date SOP 98-9
becomes effective. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SOP 98-9
will have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133").
SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as "derivatives"), and for hedging
activities. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all fiscal
quarters of all years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier application
encouraged. The Company does not currently use derivative instruments or engage
in hedging activities.

5. NOTES PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS

    In January 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into loan
agreements with stockholders of the Company which provided the Company with a
maximum borrowing amount of $1,073,000. At June 30, 1998, amounts outstanding
under the notes were $890,000 with accrued interest of $107,000. Interest
expense incurred by the Company under these agreements in the year ended
June 30, 1998 was $85,000.

    On July 6, 1998, the Company converted the outstanding principal balance of
the notes of $890,000 into 698,609 shares of the Company's series C-3
convertible preferred stock. Accrued interest of $107,000 was paid in cash upon
conversion.

6. BANK NOTES PAYABLE

LINES OF CREDIT

    In April 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for a
revolving credit facility totaling $3,750,000. In November 1998, the overall
facility was reduced to $3,250,000. Borrowings under the facility are secured by
certain assets of the Company and its Australian subsidiaries, and by a standby
letter of credit issued by an Australian bank. Available borrowings under the
line are computed based upon a percentage of domestic and foreign accounts
receivable and the value of the standby letter of credit in the amount of
$754,000. The line bears interest at the rate of prime plus 1.25% (9.0% at
June 30, 1999) and prime plus 1.50% (9.25% at June 30, 1999) on the domestic and
foreign lines, respectively, and was subject to a commitment fee of one half of
one percent. All outstanding principal plus accrued interest was due in
October 1999.

    At June 30, 1998 and 1999, borrowings under the facility were $1,475,000 and
$767,000, respectively. The agreement contains covenants which, among other
matters, restrict or limit the ability of the Company to pay dividends, incur
indebtedness, merge, acquire or sell assets. The Company must also maintain
certain financial ratios regarding liquidity, profitability and net worth, among
other restrictions. At June 30, 1999, the Company was in compliance with these
covenants.

6. BANK NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)

    In connection with the facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase up
to 20,833 shares of the Company's common stock. These warrants are immediately
exercisable at $7.20 per share and have an expiration date of April 2005. The
value ascribed to these warrants was determined by management using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest
rate of 5.8%; expected life of 7 years; expected volatility of 100%; and no
dividend yield. The resulting value of the warrants was not significant.

    UNAUDITED--On October 22, 1999, the term of the facility was extended to
December 31, 2000. All other significant provisions of the facility remained
unchanged. In addition, the holder of the warrant has committed to exercise the
warrant in connection with the initial public offering of common stock.

EQUIPMENT LOANS

    At June 30, 1998 and 1999, the Company had $62,000 and $65,000,
respectively, outstanding under various equipment term loans. The loans bear
interest at variable rates and require monthly payments of principal and
interest through 2000. At June 30, 1998 and 1999, the long-term portion of the
loans amounted to $12,000 and $0, respectively, and are included in other
long-term liabilities.

SECURED LOAN

    At June 30, 1997, the Company had $1,217,000 outstanding under a secured
line of credit which was collateralized by real estate and substantially all
other assets of the Company. In April 1998, in connection with the revolving
credit facility described above, the note was repaid in full.

7. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

    On June 30, 1997, the Board of Directors of MIPL voted to enter into an
agreement with its stockholders and with the Company, whereby MIPL would
reacquire all of its outstanding and issued shares and issue an equal number of
common and convertible preferred shares to the Company. Simultaneously under the
arrangement, the former stockholders of MIPL would become stockholders of the
Company. Upon execution of the share exchange on August 5, 1997, the Company
effectively reorganized and MIPL became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. The exchange resulted in the issuance by the Company of common stock,
series A convertible preferred stock, and series B convertible preferred stock.

    Prior to the exchange, the MIPL preferred stockholders' redemption rights
were removed. As consideration for the removal of these redemption rights, these
stockholders received 29,167 common shares of MIPL which were valued at $77,000.

    On March 9, 1998, the Company redesignated the previously issued common,
series A convertible preferred and series B convertible preferred into shares of
series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred stock, respectively. In addition,
on that date, the Company increased the number of authorized common shares from
4,166,667 to 8,333,333 and increased the number of all classes of authorized
convertible preferred shares from 5,732,032 to 8,254,386.

    The series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred stock have the following
characteristics:

VOTING

    Each holder of the series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred stock is
entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common
stock into which such holders' shares are convertible. The holders of the
series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred stock shall vote together with the
holders of common stock as a single class.

DIVIDENDS

    The holders of the series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred stock are
entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors subject to
any preferential dividend rights of any other then outstanding series of
preferred stock. In addition, the holders of series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible
preferred stock are entitled to receive a payment equal to any dividend declared
or paid by the Company in respect to common stock for each share of common stock
into which the convertible preferred stock is then convertible.

LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

    In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, the holders of the series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred
stock shall rank equally among themselves and be entitled to be paid out of the
assets of the Company available for distribution prior and in preference to the
holders of common stock.

7. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)
    The holders of the series C-1, C-2 and C-3 convertible preferred stock are
entitled to receive upon liquidation an amount equal to $1.46 per share, $5.42
per share and $1.46 per share, respectively, plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends. After the payment of all preferential amounts, the series C-1, C-2
and C-3 preferred stockholders and any other class ranking equal shall be
entitled to receive, on a pro-rata basis with the holders of the common stock,
the remaining funds and assets of the Company available for distribution to its
stockholders.

CONVERSION

    Each share of the series C-1, C-2 and C-3 preferred stock is convertible, at
the option of the holder, into common stock of the Company based on a formula
which currently would result in a 1-for-0.41667 exchange for the series C-1 and
C-3 holders and a 1-for-1.54668 exchange for the series C-2 holders. All shares
of series C-1, C-2 and C-3 preferred stock will automatically convert into
common stock in connection with an initial public offering of common stock.

8. COMMON STOCK

    Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters
submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders. Common stockholders are
entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors, subject to
the preferential rights of the series C-1, C-2 and C-3 preferred stockholders.

    At June 30, 1999, the Company had 6,202,178 shares of its common stock
reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the series C-1, C-2 and C-3
preferred stock, warrants and instruments issued under the Company's Equity
Incentive Plan.

    On July 1, 1998, the Company issued 551,287 shares of its common stock to
certain officers and senior managers of the Company for a cash purchase price of
$198,000. In connection with this issuance, the employees entered into Stock
Restriction Agreements that contain restrictions on the sale of the shares by
the employees and loan agreements evidenced by promissory notes bearing interest
at 5.77% and maturing on June 30, 2003. The shares purchased by the employees
under the Stock Restriction Agreements vest on varying schedules through fiscal
year 2003.

9. STOCK OPTION PLAN

    In August 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified
stock options, stock awards and stock purchase rights for the purchase of up to
931,303 shares of the Company's common stock by officers, employees, consultants
and directors of the Company. In April 1999, the number of shares available
under the Plan was increased to 1,537,158 shares. The Board of Directors is
responsible for administration of the Plan. The Board determines the term of
each option, the option exercise price, the number of shares for which each
option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable. Incentive
stock options may be granted to any officer or employee at an exercise price per
share of not less than the fair value per common share on the date of the grant
(not less than 110% of fair value in the case of holders of more than 10% of the
Company's voting stock) and with a term not to exceed ten years from the date of
the grant (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more
than 10% of the Company's voting stock). Non-qualified stock options may be
granted to any officer, employee, consultant or director at an exercise price
per share of not less than the book value per share.

9. STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
    In January 1999 an amendment was made to certain employee stock options
which resulted in a determinable measurement date. Deferred compensation of
$77,000 was recorded, in accordance with APB No. 25, and will be amortized over
the related vesting period. Related compensation expense of $10,000 was recorded
during the year ended June 30, 1999.

    Except for the options noted above, no compensation cost has been recognized
for employee stock-based compensation for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998
and 1999. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the
grant dates for awards in 1997, 1998 and 1999 consistent with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) available to common stockholders
would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below. Because options vest over
several years and additional option grants are expected to be made in future
years, the pro forma results are not representative of the pro forma results for
future years.

    The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant under
the minimum value method using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions for grants: no dividend yield; volatility of 0.001%;
risk-free interest rates of 5.8%, 5.8% and 4.6% for 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively; and expected option life of 8 years.

9. STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
    In conjunction with the redesignation of the Company's common and preferred
stock in March 1998 (Note 7), 390,842 options with an exercise price of $2.64
were exchanged for 697,910 options with an exercise price of $0.36. The exercise
price at the time of the exchange was considered the fair market value of the
common stock of the Company subsequent to the redesignation. All other terms of
the new options remained consistent with the terms of the exchanged options.

    The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding
at June 30, 1999:

10. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE (CONTINUED)
of the redesignation, the Company had no common stock outstanding prior to
June 30, 1998 for purposes of computing net income (loss) per common share.
Accordingly, basic net income (loss) per common share was zero for the years
ended June 30, 1997 and 1998.

    Options and warrants to purchase 680,000 and 432,000 shares of common stock
were outstanding for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively, but
were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share, as
their inclusion would be antidilutive.

</TABLE>

    At June 30, 1999, the Company had available federal, state and foreign net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,375,000, $3,037,000 and
$7,844,000, respectively. These carryforwards expire at various times through
2014 if not utilized. Under the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code,
certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership may limit the amount of
federal net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards which
could be utilized annually to offset federal future taxable income and taxes
payable.

    Under generally accepted accounting principles, the benefit associated with
future deductible differences is recognized if it is more likely than not that
the benefit will be realized. Management believes that, based on the Company's
historical results of operations, it is more likely than not that a substantial
amount of the Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly,
the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $6,293,000 and $6,536,000 at
June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Management believes that the net deferred
tax asset represents management's best estimate, based upon the weight of
available evidence, of the deferred tax asset that will be realized. If such
evidence were to change, based upon near-term operating results and longer-term
projections, the amount of the valuation allowance recorded against the gross
deferred tax asset may be decreased or increased.

12. BENEFIT PLANS

401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

    The Company has established a retirement savings plan under Section 401(k)
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan covers
substantially all U.S. based employees of the Company who meet minimum age and
service requirements, and allows Participants to defer a portion of their annual
compensation on a pre-tax basis. Matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan may
be made at the discretion of the Company. The Company contributed $87,000,
$132,000 and $175,000 to the 401(k) Plan in the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998
and 1999, respectively.

    Total rent expense under these operating leases was $297,000, $515,000 and
$664,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

LITIGATION

    On February 17, 1999, the Company filed suit against a former employee and
the individual's current employer, a competitor of the Company, seeking
immediate and permanent injunctive relief in connection with the theft and
misappropriation of the Company's proprietary trade secrets. Specifically, the
suit alleges, among other things, (i) misappropriation of trade secrets,
proprietary information, unfair competition and civil conspiracy, (ii) breach of
contract, implied covenant of good faith and fiduciary duty, and (iii) fraud
against the individual in his actions to breach his fiduciary duties. The
complaint seeks permanent injunction against the defendants, actual
consequential and punitive damages, and recovery of all legal costs.

    Counterclaims, and amendments thereto, have been filed against the Company,
alleging that the Company (i) breached certain federal antitrust laws and
(ii) committed defamation and trade libel. The Company has moved to dismiss
these amended counterclaims. While the outcome of these

matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that these
counterclaims are without merit.

    During fiscal 1999, the Company incurred legal expenses of $620,000 during
the prosecution of the above referenced trade secret litigation. These expenses
have been included in litigation expenses in the consolidated statement of
operations. Management anticipates that further material expenditures will be
incurred at least through fiscal 2000 in pursuit of the Company's claims and in
defending against the counterclaims.

    UNAUDITED--In connection with the trade secret litigation described above,
during the six months ended January 1, 2000, the Company incurred legal expenses
of $530,000 reflecting current period legal costs incurred to pursue its claims
regarding theft of trade secrets and to defend against the other parties'
counterclaims. All aspects of the litigation are currently being held in
abeyance upon agreement of the parties, in connection with the Company's pending
acquisition of the other party (Note 16). If the acquisition is completed, this
litigation will be dismissed with prejudice by the agreement of all parties. If
for any reason the acquisition of the other party is not completed, the Company
expects that the litigation will resume. In the event that the litigation
resumes, the Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims and defend against
the remaining counterclaims. In such event, the Company anticipates that it will
continue to incur legal costs to pursue its claims and to defend against the
counterclaims. The Company estimates that its possible costs to defend against
the counterclaims could range from $0 to $1,600,000.

14. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ARRANGEMENT

    During 1994, the Company entered into a research and development arrangement
(the "Arrangement") with an unrelated third party. Under the terms of the
Arrangement, the Company received payments for (i) a license for certain of the
Company's technology and (ii) future research activities relating to the
licensed technology as agreed to by the parties. The Company accounted for the
Arrangement under SFAS No. 68, "Research and Development Arrangements," and,
accordingly, the amount of the Company's potential future obligation to provide
security and to subscribe for shares in the third party was recorded as unearned
revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. The part of the funds originally paid
to the Company that might have been required to satisfy the Company's potential
security and subscription obligation was held in a restricted cash account and
was classified as a long-term asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The
Company's potential security and subscription obligation was limited to the
amount of restricted cash on deposit. At June 30, 1998, the restricted cash and
potential security and subscription obligation amounted to $3,982,000. The
restricted cash was held in an interest bearing account in an Australian bank.
The interest earned on this account was used to satisfy the Company's
requirement to make minimum royalty payments to the third party, who had a right
of set-off against the accumulated interest. Interest income and license fees of
$270,000, $235,000 and $155,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and
1999, respectively, and have been offset against each other in the consolidated
statement of operations.

    In April 1999, the Company and the third party concluded that the project
was technically infeasible. Subsequently, under the terms of the Arrangement,
the Company subscribed the funds held as restricted cash for shares in the third
party, which used those funds to repay its borrowing. Involvement of the third
party's original shareholders in the Arrangement was then terminated.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

    Advanced CAE Technology, Inc., doing business as C-Mold (the "Company"), was
incorporated in New York, USA, in February 1986. The Company is engaged in the
development and sale of software for plastic injection molding simulation in the
polymer processing industry. The Company sells its products primarily to
customers in the United States, Europe and Asia.

    The Company's fiscal year end is September 30. References to 1997, 1998 or
1999 mean the fiscal year ended September 30, unless otherwise indicated.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries: AC Technology Europe B.V., Plastic Moulding
Consultants, Ltd., C-MOLD Singapore Pte. Ltd. and C-MOLD Scandinavia A.B.; its
99 percent-owned subsidiary, Advanced CAE Technology Pacific; its
84 percent-owned subsidiary, AC Technology Enterprise, Ltd.; and its
28 percent-owned subsidiary, ACT Partnership, which is consolidated because it
is controlled by the Company. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries, whose functional
currency is the local currency, are translated at the rates in effect at the
balance sheet date and translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders'
equity. Statement of operations amounts are translated at the average rate for
the year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other
income and expense.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less are considered to be cash equivalents. Accordingly, these items are subject
to minimal credit and market risk and are reported at cost, which approximates
fair value.

    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

    All of the Company's marketable securities are classified as
available-for-sale securities and are valued at market value at September 30,
1998 and 1999. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are included as
components of comprehensive income and are reflected in the consolidated
statement of stockholders' equity.

    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

    Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations
of credit risk include accounts receivable. The Company's customer base consists
of a large number of geographically dispersed customers. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable and such losses, in
the aggregate, have not exceeded management expectations.

                         ADVANCED CAE TECHNOLOGY, INC.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    Revenue of $1,286,000 (18% of total revenue) and $773,000 (10% of total
revenue) was attributable to one customer in fiscal 1998 and 1999, respectively.
At September 30, 1998 and 1999, accounts receivable from that customer accounted
for $353,000 (23% of total accounts receivable) and $81,000 (7% of total
accounts receivable), respectively.

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
deferred revenue and debt. The carrying amounts of these instruments at
September 30, 1998 and 1999 approximate their fair values.

    FIXED ASSETS

    Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated using an accelerated
method over their estimated useful lives.

    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of," the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets
used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets' carrying amount. Through September 30, 1999, the Company had not
recognized an impairment loss on its long-lived assets.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software products and from
services consisting of maintenance and support, consulting, material testing and
training. The Company has adopted the guidelines of Statement of Position 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition" ("SoP 97-2"), which provides guidance on applying
generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software
transactions.

    The Company recognizes revenue from sales of software licenses upon product
shipment and upon receipt of a signed purchase order or contract, provided that
the license fee is fixed and determinable, collection is probable and all other
revenue recognition criteria of SoP 97-2 are met. The Company's software
products do not require significant modification or customization. Installation
of the products is generally routine, requires insignificant effort and is not
essential to the functionality of the product. The Company recognizes revenue
from maintenance and support ratably over the contract period and from training
and other related services as the services are performed.

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    Costs associated with the research and development of the Company's products
are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the development of computer
software are expensed prior to establishing technological feasibility, as
defined by SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of

Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," and capitalized
thereafter until commercial release of the software products. Software
development costs eligible for capitalization have not been significant to date.

    ADVERTISING COSTS

    The Company expenses as incurred costs of producing advertising and
sales-related collateral materials. Other production costs associated with
direct mail programs, placement costs associated with magazine or other printed
media and all direct costs associated with trade shows and other sales related
events are expensed when the related direct mail is sent, advertising space is
used or the event is held. Advertising expense for the years ended
September 30, 1998 and 1999 was $60,000 and $67,000, respectively.

    ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretation. Accordingly, compensation
expense is recorded for options issued to employees in fixed amounts to the
extent that the fixed exercise prices are less than the fair market value of the
Company's common stock at the date of grant. The Company follows the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
(Note 8). All stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for at their
fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

    SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

    The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (Note 15). SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual
financial statements. SFAS No. 131 relates to disclosure only and had no impact
on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
Under SFAS No. 130, the Company is required to display comprehensive income and
its components as part of the Company's full set of financial statements. The
measurement and presentation of net income did not change. Comprehensive income
is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive
income includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income. At
September 30, 1999, accumulated other comprehensive income was comprised of
cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and
losses on marketable securities. The individual components of comprehensive
income are reflected in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for
the years ended September 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999.

    UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The interim consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and
for the three month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 are unaudited. In
the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments,

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations for these
interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for the year ended September 30, 2000 or any other future period.

    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 expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In December 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
No. 98-9, "Modification of SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with
Respect to Certain Transactions" ("SOP 98-9"). SOP 98-9 amends SOP 97-2 to
require recognition of revenue using the "residual method" in circumstances
outlined in SOP 98-9. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized as
follows: (1) the total fair value of undelivered elements, as indicated by
vendor specific objective evidence, is deferred and subsequently recognized in
accordance with the relevant sections of SOP 97-2 and (2) the difference between
the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements
is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements. SOP 98-9 is
effective for transactions entered in fiscal years beginning after March 15,
1999 (fiscal 2000 for the Company). Also, the provisions of SOP 97-2 that were
deferred by SOP 98-4 will continue to be deferred until the date SOP 98-9
becomes effective. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SOP 98-9
will have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133").
SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as "derivatives"), and for hedging
activities. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all fiscal
quarters of all years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier application
encouraged. The Company does not currently use derivative instruments or engage
in hedging activities.

6.  LONG TERM DEBT

    Long term debt consists of a mortgage loan on the Ithaca, New York facility,
a term loan on the Louisville, Kentucky facility and a mortgage loan on the
Taipei, Taiwan facility.

    The mortgage loan for the Ithaca facility is a 30-year mortgage for $328,000
due in 2019. The unpaid balance on the mortgage loan was $233,000 at
September 30, 1999. The interest rate on the mortgage loan is adjustable
annually and is set 300 basis points over the one-year Treasury bill rate (8.0%
at September 30, 1999). Monthly interest and principal payments are $2,000. The
mortgage loan is guaranteed up to approximately $100,000 by certain officers of
the Company. The mortgage is secured by all real property in Ithaca. The
mortgage also contains certain subjective covenants including a material adverse
change clause. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at
September 30, 1999.

    During 1994, the Company entered into a Revised and Replacement Letter loan
agreement (the Agreement) with a bank. The Agreement made available to the
Company a 10-year term loan due in 2005 for an amount not to exceed $650,000.
The unpaid balance was $621,000 at September 30, 1999. The purpose of the
Agreement was to finance the construction of the Company's facility in
Louisville. The Agreement has an adjustable interest rate defined at the prime
rate (8.25% at September 30, 1999). The Agreement is to be repaid in equal
monthly payments of $6,000. Each payment will be applied first to interest with
the remainder applied to principal. Based on the current monthly payments of
$6,000 and an interest rate of 8.25%, the Company will be required to make a
final payment of approximately $490,000 in the year 2005. The Agreement is
secured by the real property located in Louisville. The Company was in
compliance with the related debt covenants at September 30, 1999.

    The mortgage loan for the Taiwan facility was refinanced during fiscal 1997
and is due in 2012. At September 30, 1999, the unpaid balance on the mortgage
was $291,000. The interest rate on the mortgage loan is adjusted annually (8.4%
at September 30, 1999). Monthly interest and principal payments are $4,000. The
mortgage loan is secured with the property of a subsidiary of the Company.

    Future principal payments for long-term debt as of September 30, 1999 are as
follows (in thousands):

7.  COMMON STOCK

    Each share of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock entitles the
holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's
stockholders. Common stockholders are entitled to dividends when and if declared
by the board of directors.

    In October 1995, a founding stockholder of the Company donated
238,000 shares of common stock back to the Company for distribution to its
employees. The shares are to be equally divided over five consecutive years and
distributed equally to eligible employees. These distributions were effected on
January 1, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and the final distribution will be made on
January 1, 2000. If an employee decides not to accept the donated shares, those
shares will carryover and be evenly distributed over the remaining years. Any
unclaimed shares in the year 2000 will be returned to the donor. As of
September 30 1999, 46,654 shares remain undistributed.

    During 1998 and 1999, the Company repurchased 63,028 and 35,221 shares,
respectively, of common stock from existing stockholders for $97,000 and
$57,000, respectively. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had repurchased an
aggregate of 167,173 shares for treasury.

8.  STOCK OPTION PLAN

    In fiscal 1992, the Company adopted the Advanced CAE Technology, Inc. Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") which provides for the grant of incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options, stock awards and stock purchase rights for
the purchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock by
officers, employees, consultants and directors of the Company. The Board of
Directors is responsible for administration of the Plan. The term of each option
shall be determined by a committee selected by the Board of Directors, but in no
event shall an option be exercisable after the expiration of 5 years from the
date on which it is granted. Each option may include, at the discretion of the
committee, a vesting period following the grant of any option during which all
or any part of such option remains forfeitable and cannot be exercised. All
options shall provide for full and immediate vesting in the event that the
Company disposes of all or substantially all of its assets as an entity and
dissolves, consolidates or merges into another corporation and not be the
resulting or surviving corporation. The Board of Directors of the Company may at
any time suspend or terminate the Plan or may amend it from time to time.

    Under APB 25, no compensation cost has been recognized for employee
stock-based compensation for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. Had
compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for
awards in 1998 and 1999 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net income (loss) would have been the pro forma amounts indicated
below. Because options vest over several years and additional option grants are
expected to be made in future years, the pro forma results are not
representative of the pro forma results for future years.

8.  STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
    The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant under
the minimum value method using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions for grants: no dividend yield; volatility of 0.001%;
risk-free interest rates of 5.1% and 5.1% for 1998 and 1999, respectively; and
expected option life of 5 years.

</TABLE>

    Under generally accepted accounting principles, the benefit associated with
future deductible differences is recognized if it is more likely than not that
the benefit will be realized. Management believes that, based on the Company's
historical results of operations, it is more likely than not that a portion of
the Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company
has recorded a valuation allowance of $230,000 and $311,000 at September 30,
1998 and 1999, respectively. Management believes that the net deferred tax asset
represents management's best estimate, based upon the weight of available
evidence, of the deferred tax asset that will be realized. If such evidence were
to change, based upon near-term operating results and longer-term projections,
the amount of the valuation allowance recorded against the gross deferred tax
asset may be decreased or increased.

    As of September 30, 1999, the Company has approximately $293,000 in foreign
tax credits available to offset future income tax and $500,000 in federal net
operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income, which begin to
expire in 2019. Under the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, certain
substantial changes in the Company's ownership may limit the amount of federal
net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards which could be
utilized annually to offset future federal taxable income and taxes payable.

    No provision was made in fiscal 1999 for U.S. income taxes on the
undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries, as it is the Company's
intention to utilize those earnings in the foreign operations.

10. BENEFIT PLANS

    401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

    The Company has established a retirement savings plan under Section 401(k)
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan covers
substantially all U.S. based employees of the Company who meet minimum age and
service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual
compensation on a pre-tax basis. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan may be
made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Employer contributions were
$23,000 and $20,000 for the years ending September 30, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. Company contributions to the plan are vested according to the
following schedule: 20 percent after two years of service and an additional
20 percent in each successive year. After six years of service, employees are
100 percent vested.

    LITIGATION

    On February 17, 1999, suit was filed against the Company and one of its
employees by a competitor. The plaintiff is seeking immediate and permanent
injunctive relief in connection with the alleged theft and misappropriation of
the competitor's proprietary trade secrets. Specifically, the suit alleges,
among other things, (i) misappropriation of trade secrets, proprietary
information, unfair competition and civil conspiracy, (ii) breach of contract,
implied covenant of good faith and fiduciary duty, and (iii) fraud against the
individual in his actions to breach his fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks a
permanent injunction against the Company, actual, consequential and punitive
damages, and recovery of all legal costs.

    Counterclaims, and amendments thereto, have been filed by the Company,
alleging that the competitor (i) breached certain federal antitrust laws and
(ii) committed defamation and trade libel. The competitor has moved to dismiss
these amended counterclaims.

    Through February 11, 2000, based on the stage of developments with the
claims asserted against the Company and the Company's counterclaims, the Company
has not been able to reasonably estimate the amount of possible losses, if any,
related to this litigation. On February 11, 2000, the Company entered a
definitive agreement to be acquired by the counterparty in this litigation
(Note 13). Accordingly, this litigation is being held in abeyance in connection
with the pending acquisition. If the acquisition is completed, this litigation
will be dismissed with prejudice by the agreement of all parties. If for any
reason the acquisition is not completed, management expects that the litigation
will resume.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT--PENDING ACQUISITION

    On February 11, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be
acquired by Moldflow Corporation ("Moldflow.") The purchase price will be
$11.0 million in cash. Completion of the acquisition is subject to satisfaction
of a number of conditions, including Moldflow's ability to obtain satisfactory
financing for the transaction.

                              MOLDFLOW CORPORATION

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                             BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the
pending acquisition by Moldflow Corporation (the "Company") of all of the stock
of Advanced CAE Technology, Inc., doing business as "C-Mold," as if it had
occurred on January 1, 2000. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations gives effect to the pending acquisition as if it had occurred on
July 1, 1998. These statements are based on the actual historical financial
statements of the Company and C-Mold, and the estimates and assumptions set
forth below and in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial
information.

    The Company's fiscal year ends on June 30 while C-Mold's fiscal year ends on
September 30. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the
year ended June 30, 1999 combines the Company's actual results for its year
ended June 30, 1999 with C-Mold's actual results for its year ended
September 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for
the six months ended January 1, 2000 combines the Company's and C-Mold's actual
results for the six months ended January 1, 2000.


    The acquisition is subject to the terms of a definitive agreement between
the parties dated February 11, 2000. Completion of the transaction is subject to
the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the Company's ability to
obtain satisfactory financing for the transaction. Under the definitive
agreement, the Company will pay $11.0 million in cash for all of the outstanding
common stock and options to acquire common stock of C-Mold. Also pursuant to the
definitive agreement, upon completion of the acquisition, the litigation between
the Company and C-Mold will be dismissed with prejudice by the agreement of all
parties; accordingly, the combined Company will no longer incur related
litigation expenses.


    The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets and
liabilities assumed based upon management's estimates of fair value, with any
excess purchase price being allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.
The pro forma adjustments related to the purchase price allocation represent
management's best estimate of the effects of the pending acquisition and are
subject to adjustment upon completion of independent valuation analyses to be
obtained in connection with the closing of the transaction.

    The pro forma adjustments are based upon estimates, currently available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate. The
unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented herein is not
necessarily indicative of the results the Company would have obtained had such

    The purchase accounting allocation summarized above is reflected in the
following pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined balance
sheet:

(a) Immediately prior to the acquisition, C-Mold will sell its 28% interest in
    the ACT Partnership for cash proceeds of approximately $206,000. Because
    C-Mold controlled the ACT Partnership, it historically has been treated as a
    consolidated subsidiary. These adjustments are to record the sale, including
    receipt of the sale proceeds, removal of the assets and liabilities of the
    ACT Partnership previously consolidated with C-Mold and elimination of the
    related minority interest.

(b) To increase the fixed assets to their estimated fair value, preliminarily
    based on a real estate tax appraisal for the land and building located in
    Kentucky. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will obtain an
    independent professional appraisal of the fixed assets acquired.

(c) To record a liability for severance costs related to C-Mold employees
    following the acquisition and C-Mold's legal costs in connection with the
    transaction, equal to the cap on such costs agreed to in the definitive
    agreement.

(d) Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will obtain an independent
    professional valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired.
    Preliminarily, the Company expects such identifiable intangible assets to
    include primarily five-year non-compete covenants with all members of senior
    management, the founders and board members of C-Mold, all of whom will

    not be employed by the Company and C-Mold's workforce in-place which will be
    retained by the Company. To a lesser extent, the Company also expects the
    identifiable intangible assets to include existing software technology and
    products, customer base, and in-process research and development. After
    allocation to the identifiable intangible assets, any remaining intangible
    value will be attributed to goodwill. For preliminary pro forma purchase
    price allocation purposes, pending the independent professional valuation,
    the Company has grouped all of the value attributable to intangible assets
    together with goodwill, as reflected in this pro forma adjustment.

(e) To eliminate the historical stockholders' equity accounts of C-Mold.

(f) To record the common stock assumed to be issued to fund the total purchase
    price of $11.2 million. The Company expects to use the proceeds from its
    planned initial public offering of common stock, at an assumed offering
    price of $13.00 per share, to fund the acquisition.

2.  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS


    The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations has
been prepared as if the acquisition had occurred on July 1, 1998 and reflects
the following pro forma adjustments and the related tax effects:



    (a) Reflects amortization of the acquired goodwill and other intangible
        assets, assuming an average useful life of five years. Upon completion
        of the independent professional valuation and final allocation of the
        purchase price, specific identifiable intangible assets and any residual
        goodwill will be amortized over useful lives directly attributable to
        the assets. Preliminarily, the Company expects the intangible assets to
        have the following useful lives: non-compete covenants--5 years;
        workforce in-place--4 years; existing software technology and
        products--3 to 5 years; customer base--3 years; and goodwill--7 years.



    (b) To eliminate the minority interest in C-Mold which will no longer exist
        following the acquisition.



    (c) The pro forma combined net income (loss) per common share reflects the
        issuance of 861,538 shares of common stock, at an assumed initial public
        offering price of $13.00 per share, to fund the acquisition as if such
        shares were issued on July 1, 1998.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    In accordance with Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article VII of our certificate of incorporation provides that no director of
Moldflow shall be personally liable to Moldflow or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability
(1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Moldflow or its
stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) in respect of unlawful
dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (4) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In
addition, our first amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides
that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the further
elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

    Article V of our by-laws provides for indemnification by Moldflow of its
officers and certain non-officer employees under certain circumstances against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
any threatened, pending or completed legal proceeding in which any such person
is involved by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or
employee of the registrant if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
Moldflow, and, with respect to criminal actions or proceedings, if such person
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

    Prior to the offering, we will have entered into indemnification agreements
with each of our directors. The form of indemnification agreement provides that
we will indemnify our directors for expenses incurred because of their status as
a director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of
incorporation and our by-laws.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

    Set forth in chronological order below is information regarding the number
of shares of capital stock issued by Moldflow since our formation. Also included
is the consideration, if any, received by Moldflow for such shares. There was no
public offering in any such transaction and we believe that each transaction was
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, by reason of Section 4(2) thereof, based on the private nature of the
transactions and the financial sophistication of the purchasers, all of whom had
access to complete information concerning Moldflow and acquired the securities
for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. In addition, we
believe that the transactions described below with respect to issuances and
option grants to our employees and consultants were exempt from the registration
requirements of said Act by reason of Section 4(2) of said Act or Rule 701
promulgated thereunder.

             series B convertible preferred stock to the shareholders of
             Moldflow International Pty. Ltd., an Australian corporation, in

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
    of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
    form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
    (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
    registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
    Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
    prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
    the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

         the securities laws of such jurisdictions as you may request and to
         comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and
         dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary
         to complete the distribution of the Shares, provided that in connection
         therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign

         the time of issuance of the Prospectus in connection with the offering
         or sale of the Shares and if at such time any events shall have
         occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or
         supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or
         omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any
         other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or
         supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the Act, to notify
         you and upon your request to prepare and furnish without charge to each

         omission or effect such compliance, and in case any Underwriter is
         required by law to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of any
         of the Shares at any time nine months or more after the time of issue
         of the Prospectus, upon your request but at the expense of such

                  (e) During the period beginning from the date hereof and

         7. COVENANTS OF THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS. Each Selling Stockholder

         Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter
         within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act (each, a "COMPANY
         INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
         joint or several (a "LOSS"), to which any Company Indemnified Party may
         become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
         claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
         out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
         statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus,
         the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
         supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
         alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
         will reimburse any


                                      -18-
<PAGE>

         Company Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably
         incurred by such Company Indemnified Party in connection with
         investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses
         are incurred; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be liable
         in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is
         based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
         or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or
         supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
         furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through you expressly for
         use therein.

                  (b) Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly,
         agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person,
         if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15
         of the Act (each, a "SELLING STOCKHOLDER INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against
         any Loss to which any Selling Stockholder Indemnified Party may become
         subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
         damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
         are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
         material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
         Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
         arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
         state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will
         reimburse any Selling Stockholder Indemnified Party for any legal or
         other expenses reasonably incurred by such Selling Stockholder
         Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any
         such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
         that this indemnity shall apply with respect to such Selling
         Stockholder only to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is
         based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission
         or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
         supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
         information furnished by such Selling Stockholder specifically for use
         in the preparation thereof; AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that such Selling
         Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
         such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
         untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any
         Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or
         any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity
         with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter
         through you expressly for use therein. In no event shall any Selling
         Stockholder be liable or responsible under this Agreement for any
         amount in the aggregate in excess of the net proceeds received by such
         Selling Stockholder with respect to the Shares sold by such Selling
         Stockholder.

                  (c) Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly,
         indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Stockholder, each
         of the directors of the Company, each of the officers of the Company
         who shall have signed the Registration


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

         Statement, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or
         any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act
         (each, an "UNDERWRITER INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against any Loss to which
         any Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act or
         otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
         actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
         any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the
         Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or
         are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only
         to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
         or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus,
         the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or
         supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
         furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly for
         use therein; and will reimburse any Underwriter Indemnified Party for
         any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it or them in
         connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as
         such expenses are incurred.

                  (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
         subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any
         action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
         to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify
         the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; no
         indemnification shall be available hereunder to any party who shall
         fail to give notice as provided in the preceding sentence if, and only
         to the extent that, the party to whom such notice was not given was
         unaware of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to
         which the notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by
         the failure to give such notice, but the omission so to notify the
         indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
         have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In
         case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and
         it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
         indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the
         extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
         similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice
         from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election
         so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
         liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal
         expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
         subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the
         defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No
         indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the
         indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent
         to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened
         action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may
         be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual
         or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,
         compromise or


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

         judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party
         from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does
         not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or
         a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

                  (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is
         unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
         under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses,
         claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred
         to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
         paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
         claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
         proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
         by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the
         Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however,
         the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not
         permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give
         the notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying
         party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
         indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
         only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company
         and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on
         the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
         in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
         thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
         relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders
         on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be
         in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering
         (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling
         Stockholders, respectively, bear to the total underwriting discounts
         and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall
         be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
         or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
         alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
         supplied by the Company or any Selling Stockholder on the one hand or
         the Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent,
         knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
         such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and
         the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if
         contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro
         rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity
         for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
         take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
         subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
         result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be
         deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
         such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending
         any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
         subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any
         amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
         Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to
         the public exceeds the


                                      -21-
<PAGE>

         amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been
         required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
         omission or alleged omission and no Selling Stockholder shall be
         required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds
         received by such Selling Stockholder with respect to the Shares sold by
         such Selling Stockholder. No person guilty of fraudulent
         misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
         shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
         such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in
         this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their
         respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

         11.      TERMINATION.

                  (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to
         purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time
         of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another
         party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained
         herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any
         Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then
         the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further
         period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or
         other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Shares on such
         terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you
         notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that you have so
         arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company and the
         Selling Stockholders notifies you that they have so arranged for the
         purchase of such Shares, you or the Company and the Selling
         Stockholders shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for
         a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever
         changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or
         the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the
         Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may
         thereby be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this
         Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with
         like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this
         Agreement with respect to such Shares.

                  (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
         purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by
         you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate
         number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed
         one-tenth of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at
         such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require
         each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which
         such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery
         and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to
         purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such
         Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such
         defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have
         not been


                                      -22-
<PAGE>

         made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from
         liability for its default.

                  (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
         purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by
         you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate
         number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of
         the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of
         Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in
         subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase
         Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement
         (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of
         the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional
         Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any
         non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or any Selling Stockholder,
         except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, any Selling
         Stockholder and the Underwriters as provided in Section 8 hereof and
         the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 10 hereof; but
         nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
         for its default.

         12. SURVIVAL. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations,
warranties and other statements of the Company, each Selling Stockholder and the
several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of
them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results
thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of
any Underwriter, or the Company or any Selling Stockholder, or any officer or
director or controlling person of the Company or any Selling Stockholder and
shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

         13. EXPENSES OF TERMINATION. If this Agreement shall be terminated
pursuant to Section 11 hereof, neither the Company nor any Selling Stockholder
shall then have any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Section 8
and Section 10 hereof; but, if for any other reason this Agreement is
terminated, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all
out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably
incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and
delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but neither the Company nor any Selling
Stockholder shall have any further liability to any Underwriter in respect of
the Shares not so delivered except as provided in Section 8 and Section 10
hereof.

         14. NOTICE. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each
of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely
upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter
made or given by you jointly or by Adams, Harkness & Hill, Inc. on behalf of you
as the Representatives.


                                      -23-
<PAGE>

         All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to you as the Representatives in care of Adams, Harkness
& Hill, Inc., 60 State Street, Boston, MA 02109, Attention: Joseph W. Hammer; if

hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to
such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriter's Questionnaire or
telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the
Company by you on request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements
shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

         15.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to
         the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling
         Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Sections 10 and 12 hereof,
         the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls
         the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter, and their
         respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns,
         and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue
         of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any
         Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of
         such purchase.

                  (b) Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used
         herein, the term "business day" shall mean any day when the
         Commission's office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

                  (c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
         accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

                  (d) This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the
         parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
         deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together
         constitute one and the same instrument.

       Matters to be Covered in the Opinion of Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP

         1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with
corporate power to conduct its business as described in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction listed on Annex A to this opinion.

         2. The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth in the
Prospectus, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company (other than the Shares) have been duly authorized, validly issued, and
are fully paid and non-assessable. The Shares have been duly authorized and when
issued and paid for as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and the Shares conform in all
material respects to the description of the capital stock contained in the
Prospectus;

         3. Each direct or indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company listed on
Annex B to the opinion is a corporation duly incorporated and existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.
All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each such
subsidiary have been duly authorized, validly issued, are fully paid and
non-assessable, and are owned of record by the Company or a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or claims
known to such counsel (such counsel being entitled to rely in respect of the
opinion in this clause upon opinions of local counsel and in respect of matters
of fact upon certificates of officers of the Company and its subsidiaries).

         4. The Company has full corporate power and authority to enter into the
Underwriting Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company.

         5. The issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares and the
performance by the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement
does not and will not (i) result in any violation of the provisions of the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company, (ii) result in a breach
or a default on the part of the Company under any agreement, indenture or other
instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement to which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is bound, or to which any of their respective properties is
subject, or (iii) violate any existing Massachusetts or federal statute or any
order, rule or regulation or any decree known to such counsel of any court or
any governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, except that


                                       I-1
<PAGE>

such counsel need express no opinion as to state securities or "Blue Sky" laws
or as to compliance with the antifraud provisions of federal and state
securities laws.

         6. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
qualification of or with any court or governmental agency or body is required to
be obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Shares by the
Company or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by
the Underwriting Agreement, except the registration of the Shares under the Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder and except as may be required under
state securities or Blue Sky laws (as to which such counsel need express no
opinion).

         7. The Company is not an "investment company" or an "affiliated person"
of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an "investment company" as
defined in the Investment Company Act.

         8. Immediately prior to the Closing, each Selling Stockholder was the
record owner of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder. Upon payment
by the Underwriters of the purchase price in accordance with the Underwriting
Agreement, and upon registration of the Shares in the names of the Underwriters
in the stock records of the Company (or in the name of a nominee for DTC in such
stock records, with appropriate entries to the account of the Underwriters
having been made in the records of DTC), the Underwriters will have acquired
such Selling Stockholder's rights in the Shares that such Selling Stockholder
had or had the power to transfer, free of any adverse claim (assuming that the
Underwriters are without notice of any such claim and assuming such transfer is
governed by the Massachusetts UCC).

         Such counsel shall also state that as counsel to the Company, they have
reviewed the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, participated in
discussions with your representatives, those of counsel for the Underwriters,
and those of the Company and its accountants. On the basis of the information
that such counsel gained in the course of the performance of the services
referred to above, considered in the light of such counsel's understanding of
the applicable law and the experience such counsel has gained through its
practice under the Act, such counsel will confirm to you that such counsel
believes that the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, and the
Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus, appeared on their face to be
appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act
and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder. Further, nothing that came
to such counsel's attention in the course of such review has caused such counsel
to believe that the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.


                                       I-2
<PAGE>

         In addition, such counsel does not know of any litigation or any
governmental proceeding instituted or threatened against the Company or its
subsidiaries that would be required to be disclosed in the Prospectus that is
not so disclosed. Also, such counsel does not know of any documents that are
required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and are not so
filed or of any documents that are required to be summarized in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and are not so summarized.

         The limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual
matters and the character of determinations involved in the registration process
are such, however, that such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus except for those made under the
captions "Description of Capital Stock," "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and
"Underwriting" (but only with respect to the description of the Underwriting
Agreement set forth therein) in the Prospectus, insofar as they accurately
summarize in all material respects the provisions of the laws and documents
referred to therein. Also, such counsel does not express any opinion or belief
as to the financial statements and related schedules or any other financial and
accounting information contained in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus.

         Such counsel shall also include a statement in such opinion as to the
matters set forth in this paragraph. The Registration Statement has become
effective under the Act. To the best of such counsel's knowledge, no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by
the Commission nor has any proceeding been instituted or contemplated for that
purpose under the Act. The Prospectus has been filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations under the Act within the
time period required thereby.

         Pursuant to Section 9(d) of the Underwriting Agreement, the accountants
shall furnish letters to the Underwriters to the effect that:

         1. They are independent certified public accountants with respect to
the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning of the Act and the
applicable published rules and regulations thereunder;

         2. In their opinion, the financial statements and any supplementary
financial information and schedules (and, if applicable, financial forecasts
and/or pro forma financial information) examined by them and included in the
Prospectus or the Registration Statement comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related
published rules and regulations thereunder; and, if applicable, they have made a
review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants of the unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements, selected financial data, selected quarterly results of operations,
pro forma financial information and/or condensed financial statements derived
from audited financial statements of the Company for the periods specified in
such letter, as indicated in their reports thereon, copies of which have been
separately furnished to the Representatives and are attached hereto;

         3. They have made a review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants of the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of income, consolidated balance sheets and
consolidated statements of cash flows included in the Prospectus as indicated in
their reports thereon, copies of which have been separately furnished to the
Representatives and are attached hereto and on the basis of specified procedures
including inquiries of officials of the Company who have responsibility for
financial and accounting matters regarding whether the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements referred to in paragraph (6)(A)(i) below
comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of the Act and the related published rules and regulations, nothing
came to their attention that caused them to believe that the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements do not comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related
published rules and regulations.

         4. The unaudited selected financial information with respect to the
consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company for the
five most recent fiscal years included in the Prospectus agrees with the
corresponding amounts (after restatements where applicable) in the audited
consolidated financial statements for such five fiscal years.

         5. They have compared the information in the Prospectus under selected
captions with the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K and on the basis of
limited procedures


                                      II-1

<PAGE>

specified in such letter nothing came to their attention as a result of the
foregoing procedures that caused them to believe that this information does not
conform in all material respects with the disclosure requirements of Items 301,
302, 402 and 503(d), respectively, of Regulation SK.

         6. On the basis of limited procedures, not constituting an examination
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, consisting of a
reading of the unaudited financial statements and other information referred to
below, a reading of the latest available interim financial statements of the
Company and its subsidiaries, inspection of the minute books of the Company and
its subsidiaries since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included in the Prospectus, inquiries of officials of the Company and its
subsidiaries responsible for financial and accounting matters and such other
inquiries and procedures as may be specified in such letter, nothing came to
their attention that caused them to believe that:

                  (a) (i) the unaudited consolidated statements of income,
         consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows
         included in the Prospectus (including selected quarterly results of
         operations) do not comply as to form in all material respects with the
         applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related published
         rules and regulations thereunder, or (ii) any material modifications
         should be made to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
         income, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash
         flows included in the Prospectus (including selected quarterly results
         of operations), for them to be conformity with generally accepted
         accounting principles;

                  (b) any other unaudited income statement data and balance
         sheet items included in the Prospectus (including selected quarterly
         results of operations) do not agree with the corresponding items in the
         unaudited consolidated financial statements from which such data and
         items were derived, and any such unaudited data and items were not
         determined on a basis substantially consistent with the basis for the
         corresponding amounts in the audited consolidated financial statements
         included in the Prospectus;

                  (c) the unaudited financial statements which were not included
         in the Prospectus but from which were derived any unaudited condensed
         financial statements referred to in clause (a) and any unaudited income
         statement data and balance sheet items included in the Prospectus and
         referred to in clause (b) were not determined on a basis substantially
         consistent with the basis for the audited consolidated financial
         statements included in the Prospectus;

                  (d) any unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
         statements included in the Prospectus do not comply as to form in all
         material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
         Act and the published rules and regulations


                                      II-2

<PAGE>

         thereunder or the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied
         to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements;

                  (e) as of a specified date not more than five days prior to
         the date of such letter, there have been any changes in the
         consolidated capital stock (other than issuances of capital stock upon
         exercise of options and stock appreciation rights, upon earn-outs of
         performance shares and upon conversions of convertible securities, in
         each case which were outstanding on the date of the latest financial
         statements included in the Prospectus) or any increase in the combined
         long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, or any decreases in
         consolidated net current assets or net assets or stockholders' equity
         or other items specified by the Representatives, or any increases in
         any items specified by the Representatives, in each case as compared
         with amounts shown in the latest balance sheet included in the
         Prospectus, except in each case for changes, increases or decreases
         which the Prospectus discloses have occurred or may occur or which are
         described in such letter; and

                  (f) for the period from the date of the latest financial
         statements included in the Prospectus to the specified date referred to
         in clause (e) there were any decreases in consolidated net revenues or
         operating profit or the total or per share amounts of consolidated net
         income or other items specified by the Representatives, or any
         increases in any items specified by the Representatives, in each case
         as compared with the comparable period of the preceding year and with
         any other period of corresponding length specified by the
         Representatives, except in each case for decreases or increases which
         the Prospectus discloses have occurred or may occur or which are
         described in such letter.

         7. In addition to the examination referred to in their report(s)
included in the Prospectus and the limited procedures, inspection of minute
books, inquiries and other procedures referred to in paragraphs (3) and (6)
above, they have carried out certain specified procedures, not constituting an
examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, with
respect to certain amounts, percentages and financial information specified by
the Representatives, which are derived from the general accounting records of
the Company and its subsidiaries, which appear in the Prospectus, or in Part II
of, or in exhibits and schedules to, the Registration Statement specified by the
Representatives, and have compared certain of such amounts, percentages and
financial information with the accounting records of the Company and its
subsidiaries and have found them to be in agreement.

                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the
20th day of March, 2000 between MOLDFLOW CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(referred to herein as including all of its subsidiaries, including MPL, the

         WHEREAS, the Company, through its subsidiary Moldflow Pty. Ltd, an
Australian corporation ( "MPL") desires to employ Executive and Executive
desires to be employed by the Company on the terms contained herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.       EMPLOYMENT. The term of this Agreement shall extend from the date
hereof (the "Commencement Date") until the first anniversary of the Commencement
Date and shall automatically be extended for one additional year on each
anniversary thereafter unless, not less than 30 days prior to each such date,
either party shall have given notice that it does not wish to extend this
Agreement; provided, further, that following a Change in Control the term of
this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of not less than twelve

of this Agreement shall be subject to termination as provided in Paragraph 6 and
may be referred to herein as the "Period of Employment."

2.       POSITION AND DUTIES. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall
serve as the Vice President of Research and Development and shall have such
duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Chief Executive Officer or
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). Executive shall devote his

3.       COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

         (a) BASE SALARY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. Executive's initial annual
base salary shall be 185,082 Australian dollars. Executive's base salary shall
be redetermined annually by the Chief Executive Officer, the Board or a

plan; stock purchase plan; stock option plan; life insurance plan; medical

by-laws and shall receive directors' and officers' insurance coverage equivalent
to that which is provided to any other director or officer of the Company.

4.       UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE.

         Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the
Company (and, if applicable, its predecessors), he has and will become
acquainted with the Company's business affairs, information, trade secrets, and
other matters which are of a proprietary or confidential nature, including but
not limited to the Company's and its affiliates' and predecessors' operations,
business opportunities, price and cost information, finance, customer
information, product development information, business plans, various sales
techniques, manuals, letters, notebooks, procedures, reports, products,
processes, services, and other confidential information and knowledge
(collectively the "Confidential Information") concerning the Company's and its
affiliates' and predecessors' business. Executive understands and acknowledges
that such Confidential Information is confidential, and he agrees not to
disclose such Confidential Information to anyone outside the Company except to
the extent that (i) Executive deems such disclosure or use reasonably necessary
or appropriate in connection with performing his duties on behalf of the
Company; (ii) Executive is required by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction (by subpoena or similar process) to disclose or discuss any
Confidential Information, provided that in such case, Executive shall promptly
inform the Company of such event, shall cooperate with the Company in attempting
to obtain a protective order or to otherwise restrict such disclosure, and shall
only disclose Confidential Information to the minimum extent necessary to comply
with any such court order; or (iii) such Confidential Information becomes
generally known to and available for use in the Company's industry, other than
as a result of any action or inaction by Executive. Executive further agrees
that he will not during employment and/or at any time thereafter use such
Confidential Information in competing, directly or indirectly, with the Company.
At such time as Executive shall cease to be employed by the Company, he will
immediately turn over to the Company all Confidential Information, including
papers, documents, writings, electronically stored information, other property,
and all copies of them provided to or created by him during the course of his
employment with the Company. The foregoing provisions shall be binding upon
Executive's heirs, successors, and legal representatives and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for any reason.

5.       COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

         In consideration of the employment of the Executive and other valuable
consideration whether directly or indirectly received by Executive from
Moldflow, and for the sole purpose of reasonably protecting the goodwill and
business of Moldflow, Executive agrees with and undertakes to Moldflow that,
without the prior written consent of Moldflow, Executive will not, for a period
from the commencement of this Agreement until:

         (a)      twelve months after the date of termination of his employment
                  for any reason;
         (b)      six months after the date of termination of his employment for
any reason and within:

         (i)      the world, unless that area is in the circumstances found to
                  be too large to be enforceable at law or in equity, in which
                  case;
         (ii)     the United States of America; the United Kingdom; France;
                  Germany; the Netherlands, Japan; Italy; Korea; Taiwan;
                  Australia; and New Zealand; unless that area is in the
                  circumstances found to be too large to be enforceable at law
                  or in equity, in which case;
         (iii)    Australia; unless that area is in the circumstances found to
                  be too large to be enforceable at law or in equity, in which
                  case;
         (iv)     the State of Victoria; unless that area is in the
                  circumstances found to be too large to be enforceable at law
                  or in equity, in which case;
         (v)      the State of New South Wales; unless that area is in the
                  circumstances found to be too large to be enforceable at law
                  or in equity, in which case;
         (vi)     a hundred mile radius of each office from time to time of

         (A)      carry on or be engaged in or otherwise interested in or
                  concerned with, whether solely or as a partner, director,
                  officer, employee, associate, agent, shareholder, unit holder
                  or


                                       2
<PAGE>


                  corporation, or in any other capacity, either directly or
                  indirectly, any person, enterprise, corporation, firm, trust,
                  joint venture, syndicate or business engaged in the
                  manufacture, sale or provision of products or services which
                  are the same as or substantially similar to or competitive
                  with the products or services manufactured, sold or provided
                  by Moldflow;

         (B)      on his own account or for any person, enterprise, firm, trust,
                  joint venture, syndicate or business entice away from Moldflow
                  any employee or agent of Moldflow;

         (C)      on his own account for any person, enterprise, firm, trust,
                  joint venture, syndicate or business entice away from Moldflow
                  any customer of Moldflow;

         (D)      personally or by his employees or agents or by circulars,
                  letters or advertisements whether on his own account for any
                  other person, enterprise, firm, trust, joint venture,
                  syndicate or business interfere with the business or divulge
                  to any person, any information concerning the business of
                  Moldflow or any of its respective dealings, transactions or
                  affairs.

The Executive acknowledges that each of the prohibitions and restrictions
contained in the provisions of Section 5 (a) will be read and construed and will
have effect as a separate severable and independent prohibition or restriction
and will be enforceable accordingly; (b) is reasonable as to period, territorial
limitation and subject matter; and (c) is no more than that which is reasonably
and necessarily required by Moldflow for the maintenance and protection of its
business and goodwill. It is the intention of the parties that all combinations
of the prohibitions and restrictions contained in the provisions of Section 5
will apply and be enforceable and that only those which a court, in exercising
its discretion, may hold to be an unreasonable restraint of trade will be
severed.

         The foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from owning up to 1% of the
outstanding stock of a publicly held company engaged in activities competitive
with that of the Company.

6.       TERMINATION. Except for termination as specified in Subparagraph 6(a),
any termination of Executive's employment by the Company or any such termination
by Executive shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other
party hereto. Upon termination from the Company for any reason, Executive agrees
to deliver his resignation as a director of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates upon the request of the Chairman of the Board of
Directors. Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach
of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

         (a) DEATH. Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon
his death.

         (b) DISABILITY. If, as a result of Executive's incapacity due to
physical or mental illness, Executive shall have been absent from his duties
hereunder on a full-time basis for one hundred eighty (180) calendar days in the
aggregate in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may terminate Executive's
employment hereunder.

         (c) TERMINATION BY COMPANY FOR CAUSE. At any time during the Period of
Employment, the Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for Cause
if such termination is approved by not less than a majority of the Board. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: (A) conduct by Executive
constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection with the
performance of his duties; (B) criminal or civil conviction of Executive,
conduct by Executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material
injury to the reputation of the Company if he were retained in his position with
the Company; (C) continued, non-performance by Executive of his duties hereunder
(other than by reason of Executive's physical or mental illness, incapacity or
disability) which has continued for more than thirty (30) days following written
notice of such non-


                                       3
<PAGE>


performance and the reasons for the dissatisfaction from the Board; or (D) a
breach by Executive of any of the provisions contained in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of
this Agreement.

         (d) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. At any time during the Period of
Employment, the Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder without
Cause if such termination is approved by a majority of the Company's Board of
Directors. Any termination by the Company of Executive's employment under this
Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Subparagraph
6(c) or result from the death or disability of the Executive under Subparagraph
6(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause. If the Company provides
notice to Executive under Paragraph 1 that it does not wish to extend the Period
of Employment, such action shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

         (e) TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE. At any time during the Period of
Employment, Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for any reason,
including but not limited to Good Reason. If Executive provides notice to the
Company under Paragraph 1 that he does not wish to extend the Period of
Employment, such action shall be deemed a voluntary termination by Executive and
one without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall
mean: (A) a substantial diminution or other substantive adverse change, not
consented to by Executive, in the nature or scope of Executive's
responsibilities, authorities, powers, functions or duties; (B) any removal,
during the Period of Employment, from Executive of his title as set forth in
paragraph 2 of this Agreement; (C) an involuntary reduction in Executive's Base
Salary except for across-the-board reductions similarly affecting all or
substantially all management employees; (D) a breach by the Company of any of
its other material obligations under this Agreement and the failure of the
Company to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
by Executive; (E) the involuntary relocation of the Company's offices at which
Executive is principally employed or the involuntary relocation of the offices
of Executive's primary workgroup to a location more than thirty (30) miles from
such offices, or the requirement by the Company that Executive be based anywhere
other than the Company's offices at such location on an extended basis, except
for required travel on the Company's business to an extent substantially
consistent with Executive's business travel obligations and except for any
expatriate assignments proposed by the Company and agreed to by Executive; or
(F) the failure of the Company to obtain the agreement from any successor to the
Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as required by Paragraph
10.

         (f) DATE OF TERMINATION. "Date of Termination" shall mean: (A) if
Executive's employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (B) if
Executive's employment is terminated under Subparagraph 6(b) or under
Subparagraph 6(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (C) if
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company under Subparagraph 6(d),
thirty (30) days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; and
(D) if Executive's employment is terminated by Executive under Subparagraph
6(e), thirty (30) days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given,
unless the Company cures the Good Reason event prompting the Executive to issue
a Notice of Termination.

7.       COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION OR DURING DISABILITY.

         (a) If Executive's employment terminates by reason of his death, the
Company shall, within ninety (90) days of death, pay in a lump sum amount to
such person as Executive shall designate in a notice filed with the Company or,
if no such person is designated, to Executive's estate, Executive's accrued and
unpaid Base Salary to the date of his death, plus his accrued and unpaid
incentive compensation (including any bonus payment that is earned but
unauthorized), if any, under Subparagraph 3(a). Upon the death of Executive all
stock options which would otherwise vest over the next twelve (12) months shall
immediately vest in Executive's estate or other legal representatives and become
exercisable, and Executive's estate or other legal representatives shall have
twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination or the remaining option term, if
earlier, to exercise all such stock options granted to Executive. All other
stock-based grants and awards held by Executive shall be canceled upon the death
of Executive in accordance with their terms. For a period of one (1) year
following the Date of Termination, the


                                       4
<PAGE>


Company shall pay such health and dental insurance premiums as may be necessary
to allow Executive's spouse and dependents to receive health and dental
insurance coverage, if any, substantially similar to coverage they received from
the Company or MPL immediately prior to the Date of Termination. In addition to
the foregoing, any payments to which Executive's spouse, beneficiaries, or
estate may be entitled under any employee benefit plan shall also be paid in
accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. Such payments, in the
aggregate, shall fully discharge the Company's obligations hereunder.

         (b) During any period that Executive fails to perform his duties
hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive
shall continue to receive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary and accrued and
unpaid incentive compensation (including any bonus payment that is earned but
unauthorized), if any, under Subparagraph 3(a), until Executive's employment is
terminated due to disability in accordance with Subparagraph 6(b) or until
Executive terminates his employment in accordance with Subparagraph 6(e),
whichever first occurs. Upon the Date of Termination all stock options which
would otherwise vest over the next twelve (12) months shall immediately vest and
become exercisable, and Executive shall have twelve (12) months from the Date of
Termination or the remaining option term, if earlier, to exercise all such stock
options granted to Executive. All other stock-based grants and awards held by
Executive shall vest or be canceled upon the Date of Termination in accordance
with their terms. For a period of one (1) year following the Date of
Termination, the Company shall pay such health and dental insurance premiums as
may be necessary to allow Executive and Executive's spouse and dependents to
receive health and dental insurance coverage substantially similar to coverage
they received from the Company prior to the Date of Termination, if any.

         (c) If Executive's employment is terminated by Executive other than for
Good Reason as provided in Subparagraph 6(e), then the Company shall, through
the Date of Termination, pay Executive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary at the
rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given. Thereafter, the
Company shall have no further obligations to Executive except as otherwise
expressly provided under this Agreement. In addition, all vested but unexercised
stock options held by Executive as of the Date of Termination must be exercised
by Executive within three (3) months following the Date of Termination or by the
end of the option term, if earlier. All other stock-based grants and awards held
by Executive shall vest or be canceled upon the Date of Termination in
accordance with their terms.

         (d) If Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided
in Subparagraph 6(e) or if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause as provided in Subparagraph 6(d), then the Company shall, through
the Date of Termination, pay Executive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary at the
rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given and his accrued and
unpaid incentive compensation (including any bonus payment that is earned but
unauthorized), if any, under Subparagraph 3(a). In addition, subject to signing
by Executive of a general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to
the Company, the Company shall provide the following benefits to Executive:

                  (i) The Company shall pay Executive an amount equal one (1)
         times the sum of Executive's Base Salary in effect on the Date of
         Termination (the "Severance Amount"). The Severance Amount shall be
         paid out in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Executive breaches any of the
         provisions contained in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement or (ii) if
         Executive obtains a "Comparable Position", as defined herein, during
         the period over which the Severance Amount is being paid, then all
         further payments of the Severance Amount shall immediately cease. For
         purposes of this Agreement "Comparable Position" means a full time
         executive management position with a similar scope of duties and
         responsibilities as that described in Paragraph 2 hereof and an
         equivalent or better compensation package as that described in
         Paragraph 3 hereof. The Executive shall have no obligation to seek or
         accept a Comparable Position during the period over which the Severance
         Amount is being paid.


                                       5
<PAGE>


                  (ii) Upon the Date of Termination all stock options which
         would otherwise vest over the next twelve (12) months shall immediately
         vest and become exercisable, and Executive shall have twelve (12)
         months from the Date of Termination or the remaining option term, if
         earlier, to exercise all such stock options granted to Executive. All
         other stock-based grants and awards held by Executive shall be canceled
         upon the Termination Date in accordance with their terms.

                  (iii) In addition to any other benefits to which Executive may
         be entitled in accordance with the Company's then existing severance
         policies, the Company shall, for a period of one (1) year commencing on
         the Date of Termination, pay such health and dental insurance premiums
         as may be necessary to allow Executive and Executive's spouse and
         dependents to continue to receive health and dental insurance coverage
         substantially similar to coverage they received from the Company prior
         to the Date of Termination, if any.

         (e) If Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause as
provided in Subparagraph 6(c), then the Company shall, through the Date of
Termination, pay Executive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary at the rate in
effect at the time Notice of Termination is given. Thereafter, the Company shall
have no further obligations to Executive except as otherwise expressly provided
under this Agreement. In addition, all stock options held by Executive as of the
Date of Termination shall cease to vest as of the Date of Termination and
Executive shall have 30 days from the Date of Termination or the remaining
option term, if earlier, to exercise all such vested stock options. All other
stock-based grants and awards held by Executive shall be canceled upon the
Termination Date in accordance with their terms.

         (f) Nothing contained in the foregoing Subparagraphs 7(a) through 7(e)
shall be construed so as to affect Executive's rights or the Company's
obligations relating to agreements or benefits that are unrelated to termination
of employment.


8.       CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFIT. Upon a Change of Control of the Company the
following provisions shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the
provisions of Subparagraph 7(d).

         (a)      CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                  (i) In the event that the Executive terminates his employment
         for Good Reason or if the Executive's employment is terminated by the
         Company without Cause, the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal
         one (1) times the sum of Executive's Base Salary (the "Severance
         Amount"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive obtains a
         "Comparable Position", as defined herein, during the period over which
         the Severance Amount is being paid, then all further payments of the
         Severance Amount shall immediately cease; provided, however, that in
         any event the Executive shall be entitled to a minimum of six (6)
         months of severance. The Severance Amount shall be paid out in
         accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices. For purposes
         of this Agreement, "Base Salary" shall mean the annual Base Salary in
         effect on the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
         the Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Paragraphs 4
         and 5 of this Agreement then all further payments of the Severance
         Amount shall immediately cease. Furthermore, in the event Executive
         terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Subparagraph
         6(e), he shall be entitled to the Severance Amount only if he provides
         the Notice of Termination provided for in Subparagraph 6(a) within
         sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the event or events which
         constitute such Good Reason as specified in Subparagraph 6(e); and

                  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
         applicable option agreement or stock-based award agreement, upon a
         Change in Control, all stock options and other stock-based awards
         granted to Executive by the Company shall immediately accelerate and
         become exercisable or non-forfeitable as of the effective date of such
         Change in Control. Executive shall also be entitled to any other rights
         and


                                       6
<PAGE>


         benefits with respect to stock-related awards, to the extent and upon
         the terms provided in the employee stock option or incentive plan or
         any agreement or other instrument attendant thereto pursuant to which
         such options or awards were granted; and

                  (iii) The Company shall, for a period of one (1) year
         commencing on the Date of Termination, pay such health and dental
         insurance premiums as may be necessary to allow Executive, Executive's
         spouse and dependents to continue to receive health and dental
         insurance coverage substantially similar to the coverage they received
         prior to the Date of Termination.


         (b) DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Paragraph 8, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:

         "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean any of the following:

                  (a) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
         14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")
         (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee,
         fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any
         employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries), together with all "affiliates" and "associates" (as such
         terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person, shall
         become the "beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3
         under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
         representing forty percent (40%)or more of either (A) the combined
         voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities having the
         right to vote in an election of the Company's Board ("Voting
         Securities") or (B) the then outstanding shares of Company's common
         stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") (other than as a
         result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); or

                  (b) persons who, as of the Commencement Date, constitute the
         Company's Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason,
         including, without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy
         contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a
         majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of
         the Company subsequent to the Commencement Date shall be considered an
         Incumbent Director if such person's election was approved by or such
         person was nominated for election by a vote of at least a majority of
         the Incumbent Directors; but provided further, that any such person
         whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or
         threatened election contest relating to the election of members of the
         Board or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
         by or on behalf of a person other than the Board, including by reason
         of agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened
         contest or solicitation, shall not be considered an Incumbent Director;
         or

                  (c) the stockholders of the Company shall approve (A) any
         consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the
         Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not,
         immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as
         such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or
         indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more than fifty
         percent (50%) of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash or
         securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent
         corporation, if any), (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer
         (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or
         arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of
         the assets of the Company or (C) any plan or proposal for the
         liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, a "Change of Control" shall not be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (a) solely as the
result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the
number of shares of Common Stock or other Voting Securities outstanding,
increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by any person to
forty percent (40%) or more of either (A) the combined voting power of all of
the then outstanding Voting Securities or (B) Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if any person referred


                                       7
<PAGE>


to in this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any
additional shares of Voting Securities or Common Stock (other than pursuant to a
stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an
acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter
beneficially owns forty percent (40%) or more of either (A) the combined voting
power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities or (B) Common Stock, then
a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the
foregoing clause (a).

9.       NOTICE. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered or sent by recognized overnight
carrier, addressed as follows:

         if to the Executive:

                  in the Company's personnel records;


         if to the Company:
                  Moldflow Corporation
                  91 Hartwell Avenue
                  Lexington, MA  02421

                  Copy to:  Corporate Counsel

or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in
writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall
be effective only upon receipt.

10. SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY. The Company shall require any successor (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume
and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company
to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of
any succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall constitute Good
Reason if the Executive elects to terminate employment.

11.      MISCELLANEOUS. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived,
or discharged unless such waiver, modification, or discharge is agreed to in
writing and signed by Executive and such officer of the Company as may be
specifically designated by the Board. No agreements or representations, oral or
otherwise, express or implied, unless specifically referred to herein, with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are
not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This Agreement shall expressly
supercede and replace that certain Service Agreement between MPL and the
Executive dated as of July 1, 1994; provided, however that the deferred
compensation payable to the Executive pursuant to such Agreement shall be paid
in accordance with the terms of the Letter Amendment, dated July 1, 1999,
between MPL and the Executive. This agreement is governed by the laws of the
State of Victoria, Australia. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Victoria and
courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts.


12.      VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.

13.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.

14.      DUTY OF FIDELITY. Nothing in this agreement will be construed to limit
Executive's fiduciary duties or duty of fidelity to the Company.

15.      LITIGATION AND REGULATORY COOPERATION. During and after Executive's
employment, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the defense
or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought
in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or
occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company;
provided, however, that such cooperation shall not materially and adversely
affect Executive or expose Executive to an increased probability of civil or
criminal litigation. The Company shall also provide Executive with compensation
on an hourly basis (to be derived from his Base Salary) for requested litigation
and regulatory cooperation that occurs after his termination of employment, and
reimburse Executive for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with his
performance under this Paragraph 15, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs.

16.      VALUATIONS. The Company shall pay for any valuation of the Company
necessary to determine the tax liability of the Executive in respect of the
stock options held by the Executive, in the event that the Company's stock is
not listed on any nationally recognized stock exchange or NASDAQ and thus must
be valued by way of a valuation of the Company in order to determine the tax
liability of the Executive. The valuation performed by the Company shall be
binding on the Executive and the Company.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective
on the date and year first above written.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This Agreement made and entered into this ____ day of March 2000,
("Agreement"), by and between Moldflow Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company," which term shall include, where appropriate, any Entity (as
hereinafter defined) controlled directly or indirectly by the Company) and
____________ ("Indemnitee"):

         WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company that it be able to retain and
attract as directors the most capable persons available;

         WHEREAS, increased corporate litigation has subjected directors to
litigation risks and expenses, and the limitations on the availability of
directors and officers liability insurance have made it increasingly difficult
for the Company to attract and retain such persons;

         WHEREAS, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from
time to time, and By-laws, as amended from time to time, require it to indemnify
its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and permit it to make other
indemnification arrangements and agreements;

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide Indemnitee with specific
contractual assurance of Indemnitee's rights to full indemnification against
litigation risks and expenses (regardless, among other things, of any amendment
to or revocation of any such Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or any
change in the ownership of the Company or the composition of its Board of
Directors);

         WHEREAS, the Company intends that this Agreement provide Indemnitee
with greater protection than that which is provided by the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation or By-laws; and

         WHEREAS, Indemnitee is relying upon the rights afforded under this
Agreement in continuing as a director of the Company:

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants
contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as

                  Subsidiary, Indemnitee shall be deemed to be serving at the
                  request of the Company. [It is a good idea to put an agency
                  agreement in writing so that there will be no question
                  whether or not such person was acting as agent at the request
                  of the Company]

                           (b) "Entity" shall mean any corporation,

                  criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative,
                  whether formal or informal, including a proceeding initiated
                  by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement to
                  enforce Indemnitee's rights hereunder.

                           (g) "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation,
                  partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust

                  Entity.

         2. SERVICES OF INDEMNITEE. In consideration of the Company's covenants
and commitments hereunder, Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a
director of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation
on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee's service to the Company
beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or
commitments of the parties, if any.


                                                                               2

         3. AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY. The Company agrees to indemnify Indemnitee
as follows:

                           (a) Subject to the exceptions contained in Section
                  4(a) below, if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened
                  to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than an action by
                  or in the right of the Company) by reason of Indemnitee's
                  Corporate Status, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the
                  Company against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid
                  by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding (referred to
                  herein as "Indemnifiable Expenses" and "Indemnifiable
                  Liabilities," respectively, and collectively as "Indemnifiable
                  Amounts").

                           (b) Subject to the exceptions contained in Section
                  4(b) below, if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened
                  to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the
                  Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
                  Indemnitee's Corporate Status, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
                  by the Company against all Indemnifiable Expenses.

         4. EXCEPTIONS TO INDEMNIFICATION. Indemnitee shall be entitled to
indemnification under Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above in all circumstances other
than the following:

                           (a) If indemnification is requested under Section
                  3(a) and it has been adjudicated finally by a court of
                  competent jurisdiction that, in connection with the subject of
                  the Proceeding out of which the claim for indemnification has
                  arisen, Indemnitee failed to act (i) in good faith and (ii) in
                  a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not
                  opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect
                  to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had
                  reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's conduct was
                  unlawful, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of
                  Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.

                           (b) If indemnification is requested under Section
                  3(b) and

                                            (i) it has been adjudicated finally
                                    by a court of competent jurisdiction that,
                                    in connection with the subject of the
                                    Proceeding out of which the claim for
                                    indemnification has arisen, Indemnitee
                                    failed to act (A) in good faith and (B) in a
                                    manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be
                                    in or not opposed to the best interests of
                                    the Company, Indemnitee shall not be
                                    entitled to payment of Indemnifiable
                                    Expenses hereunder; or

                                            (ii) it has been adjudicated finally
                                    by a court of competent jurisdiction that
                                    Indemnitee is liable to the Company with
                                    respect to any claim, issue or matter
                                    involved in the Proceeding out of which the
                                    claim for indemnification has arisen,
                                    including, without limitation, a claim that
                                    Indemnitee received an improper personal
                                    benefit, no Indemnifiable Expenses shall be
                                    paid with respect to such claim, issue or
                                    matter unless the Court of Chancery or
                                    another court in which such Proceeding was
                                    brought shall determine upon application
                                    that, despite the adjudication of liability,
                                    but in view of all the circumstances of the
                                    case, Indemnitee is fairly and


                                                                               3
<PAGE>

                                    reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
                                    Indemnifiable Expenses which such court
                                    shall deem proper.

         5. PROCEDURE FOR PAYMENT OF INDEMNIFIABLE AMOUNTS. Indemnitee shall
submit to the Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Amounts for
which Indemnitee seeks payment under Section 3 of this Agreement and the basis
for the claim. The Company shall pay such Indemnifiable Amounts to Indemnitee
within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of the request. At the request of the
Company, Indemnitee shall furnish such documentation and information as are
reasonably available to Indemnitee and necessary to establish that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification hereunder.

         6. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY
SUCCESSFUL. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without
limiting any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of
Indemnitee's Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's behalf in
connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding
but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than
all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
Indemnitee's behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue
or matter. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue
or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be
deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

         7. EFFECT OF CERTAIN RESOLUTIONS. Neither the settlement or termination
of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to
determine that indemnification is payable shall create an adverse presumption
that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption
that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company
or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that Indemnitee's action was unlawful.

         8. AGREEMENT TO ADVANCE EXPENSES; UNDERTAKING. The Company shall
advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf Indemnitee in connection with any
Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in which
Indemnitee is involved by reason of such Indemnitee's Corporate Status within
thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a written statement from
Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior
to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. To the extent required by
Delaware law, Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay the amount of Indemnifiable
Expenses paid to Indemnitee if it is finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled under this Agreement to
indemnification with respect to such Expenses. This undertaking is an unlimited
general obligation of Indemnitee.

         9. PROCEDURE FOR ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Indemnitee shall submit
to the Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Expenses for which
Indemnitee seeks an advancement under Section 8 of this Agreement, together with
documentation evidencing that


                                                                               4
<PAGE>

Indemnitee has incurred such Indemnifiable Expenses. Payment of Indemnifiable
Expenses under Section 8 shall be made no later than thirty (30) calendar days
after the Company's receipt of such request.

         10.      REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE.

                           (a) RIGHT TO PETITION COURT. In the event that
                  Indemnitee makes a request for payment of Indemnifiable
                  Amounts under Sections 3 and 5 above or a request for an
                  advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses under Sections 8 and 9
                  above and the Company fails to make such payment or
                  advancement in a timely manner pursuant to the terms of this
                  Agreement, Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery to
                  enforce the Company's obligations under this Agreement.

                           (b) BURDEN OF PROOF. In any judicial proceeding
                  brought under Section 10(a) above, the Company shall have the
                  burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to payment
                  of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder.

                           (c) EXPENSES. If Indemnitee is successful in whole or
                  in part in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee
                  under Section 10(a) above, the Company agrees to reimburse
                  Indemnitee in full for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
                  connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating,
                  defending or settling any such action, or in connection with
                  any claim or counterclaim brought by the Company in connection
                  therewith.

                           (d) VALIDITY OF AGREEMENT. The Company shall be
                  precluded from asserting in any Proceeding, including, without
                  limitation, an action under Section 10(a) above, that the
                  provisions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and
                  enforceable or that there is insufficient consideration for
                  this Agreement and shall stipulate in court that the Company
                  is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

                           (e) FAILURE TO ACT NOT A DEFENSE. The failure of the
                  Company (including its Board of Directors or any committee
                  thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a
                  determination concerning the permissibility of the payment of
                  Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of Indemnifiable
                  Expenses under this Agreement shall not be a defense in any
                  action brought under Section 10(a) above, and shall not create
                  a presumption that such payment or advancement is not
                  permissible.

         11.      DEFENSE OF THE UNDERLYING PROCEEDING.

                           (a) NOTICE BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee agrees to notify
                  the Company promptly upon being served with any summons,
                  citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or
                  other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in
                  the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of
                  Indemnifiable Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the
                  failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify
                  Indemnitee from the right to receive payments of Indemnifiable
                  Amounts or advancements of Indemnifiable Expenses unless the


                                                                               5
<PAGE>

                  Company's ability to defend in such Proceeding is materially
                  and adversely prejudiced thereby.

                           (b) DEFENSE BY COMPANY. Subject to the provisions of
                  the last sentence of this Section 11(b) and of Section 11(c)
                  below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee
                  in any Proceeding which may give rise to the payment of
                  Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder; provided, however that the
                  Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend
                  within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of any such
                  Proceeding under Section 11(a) above. The Company shall not,
                  without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to
                  the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any
                  settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of
                  fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an
                  unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee
                  from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which
                  release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
                  to Indemnitee. This Section 11(b) shall not apply to a
                  Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 10(a) above or
                  pursuant to Section 19 below.

                           (c) INDEMNITEE'S RIGHT TO COUNSEL. Notwithstanding
                  the provisions of Section 11(b) above, if in a Proceeding to
                  which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee's
                  Corporate Status, Indemnitee reasonably concludes that it may
                  have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect
                  to any issue which may not be consistent with the position of
                  other defendants in such Proceeding, or if the Company fails
                  to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner,
                  Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate
                  legal counsel of Indemnitee's choice at the expense of the
                  Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any
                  of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that
                  the Company or any other person takes any action to declare
                  this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any
                  action, suit or proceeding to deny or to recover from
                  Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee
                  hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel
                  of Indemnitee's choice, at the expense of the Company, to
                  represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.

         12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to Indemnitee as follows:

                           (a) AUTHORITY. The Company has all necessary power
                  and authority to enter into, and be bound by the terms of,
                  this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of
                  the undertakings contemplated by this Agreement have been duly
                  authorized by the Company.

                           (b) ENFORCEABILITY. This Agreement, when executed and
                  delivered by the Company in accordance with the provisions
                  hereof, shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
                  Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
                  its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
                  applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization
                  or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
                  generally.


                                                                               6

         13. INSURANCE. The Company shall, from time to time, make the good
faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain
and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with a reputable insurance
company providing the Indemnitee with coverage for losses from wrongful acts,
and to ensure the Company's performance of its indemnification obligations under
this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of
obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such
coverage. In all policies of director and officer liability insurance,
Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably
insured of the Company's officers and directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the
Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the
amount of coverage provided, or if the coverage provided by such insurance is
limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit. The Company
shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any good faith determination not to provide
such coverage.

         14. CONTRACT RIGHTS NOT EXCLUSIVE. The rights to payment of
Indemnifiable Amounts and advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses provided by this
Agreement shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of, any other rights which
Indemnitee may have at any time under applicable law, the Company's By-laws or
Certificate of Incorporation, or any other agreement, vote of stockholders or
directors (or a committee of directors), or otherwise, both as to action in
Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in any other capacity as a
result of Indemnitee's serving as a director of the Company.

         15. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be (a) binding upon all successors
and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or a substantial
portion of the business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or
indirect successor by merger or consolidation or otherwise by operation of law)
and (b) binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal
representatives, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. This Agreement
shall continue for the benefit of Indemnitee and such heirs, personal
representatives, executors and administrators after Indemnitee has ceased to
have Corporate Status.

         16. SUBROGATION. In the event of any payment of Indemnifiable Amounts
under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such
payment to all of the rights of contribution or recovery of Indemnitee against
other persons, and Indemnitee shall take, at the request of the Company, all
reasonable action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of
such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce
such rights.

         17. CHANGE IN LAW. To the extent that a change in Delaware law (whether
by statute or judicial decision) shall permit broader indemnification or
advancement of expenses than is provided under the terms of the by-laws of the
Company and this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to such broader
indemnification and advancements, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be
amended to such extent.


                                                                               7
<PAGE>

         18. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement, or any clause thereof,
shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision or clause shall be limited
or modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to make such
provision or clause valid, legal and enforceable, and the remaining provisions
and clauses of this Agreement shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the
parties.

         19. INDEMNITEE AS PLAINTIFF. Except as provided in Section 10(c) of
this Agreement and in the next sentence, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to
payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses with
respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any Entity
which it controls, any director or officer thereof, or any third party, unless
the Board of Directors of the Company has consented to the initiation of such
Proceeding. This Section shall not apply to counterclaims or affirmative
defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an action brought against Indemnitee.

         20. MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER. Except as provided in Section 17 above
with respect to changes in Delaware law which broaden the right of Indemnitee to
be indemnified by the Company, no supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties
hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or
shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or
not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

         21. GENERAL NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given (a) when delivered by hand, (b) when transmitted by facsimile and
receipt is acknowledged, or (c) if mailed by certified or registered mail with
postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so
mailed:

         22. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. Each of the
Company and the Indemnitee


                                                                               8

hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the courts of
the United States of America located in the State of Delaware (the "Delaware
Courts") for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation
relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of
venue of any such litigation in the Delaware Courts and agrees not to plead or
claim in any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees, (a) to the
extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of
Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such
party's agent for acceptance of legal process, and (b) that service of process
may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing
receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of
valid service. Service made pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall have the same
legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State
of Delaware. For purposes of implementing the parties' agreement to appoint and
maintain an agent for service of process in the State of Delaware, each such
party does hereby appoint The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street,
Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19801, as such agent and each such party
hereby agrees to complete all actions necessary for such appointment.
