EXHIBIT to SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN STATEMENTS
FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(c)
Pursuant to instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, this Exhibit
has been prepared to identify Fidelity International Limited, Pembroke
Hall, 42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda, a Bermudan joint stock company
incorporated for an unlimited duration by private act of the Bermuda
Legislature (FIL) and an investment adviser to various investment
companies (the "International Funds") and certain institutional
investors, as a beneficial owner of the 559,360 shares or 5.127% of the
common stock outstanding of Applix Incorporated.
Prior to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of
Fidelity Management & Research Company (Fidelity), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FMR Corp. On that date, the shares of FIL held by
Fidelity were distributed, as a dividend, to the shareholders of FMR
Corp. FIL currently operates as an entity independent of FMR Corp. and
Fidelity. The International Funds and FIL's other clients, with the
exception of Fidelity and an affiliated company of Fidelity, are non-
U.S. entities.
A partnership controlled by Edward C. Johnson 3d and members of
his family owns shares of FIL voting stock with the right to cast
approximately 39.89% of the total votes which may be cast by all
holders of FIL voting stock. Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp.
and FIL. FMR Corp. and FIL are separate and independent corporate
entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed of
different individuals. Other than when one serves as a sub adviser to
the other, their investment decisions are made independently, and their
clients are generally different organizations.
FIL has sole dispositive power over 559,360 shares owned by the
International Funds. FIL has sole power to vote or direct the voting of
559,360 shares of common stock held by the International Funds as
reported above.
