ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


         On July 18, 1996, Quarterdeck Corporation (the "Company") consummated
the acquisition of Vertisoft Systems, Inc. ("Vertisoft"), pursuant to the terms
of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of July 15, 1996.
Vertisoft is a developer and publisher of innovative utilities software and a
leading direct mail marketer. Vertisoft markets its utilities software products
through major retailers and direct mail in the United States and Canada. The
acquisition is being treated as an "immaterial pooling of interests" for
accounting purposes.

          Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the Shareholders received an
aggregate of 3,500,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock. Pursuant to the
terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, dated as of July
18, 1996, by and among the Company, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company,
as Escrow Agent, Acquisition Sub and the Shareholders, 349,999 of the Shares
were placed in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification obligations of the
Shareholders under the Reorganization Agreement. The Shareholders entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 18, 1996, pursuant to which the
Shareholders are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the
Shares. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement the Company filed a
registration statement on Form S-3 on August 14, 1996 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in order to register the resale of the Shares, and once such
registration statement is declared effective, the Company has agreed to keep
such registration statement effective through July 18, 1997, subject to
extension under certain circumstances.

           On August 14, 1996, Quarterdeck Corporation (the "Company")
consummated the acquisition of the remaining shares of Limbex Corporation
("Limbex"), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
dated as of August 13, 1996 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), by and among the
Company, Limbex, and the shareholders of Limbex (the "Shareholders"). Prior to
such acquisition, Quarterdeck owned approximately 20% of the outstanding
capital stock of Limbex. Limbex is the developer of the WebCompass product line.
The acquisition of Limbex was accomplished by way of a merger (the "Merger") of
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Limbex and as a result of
the Merger Limbex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection
with the Merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Limbex were
converted into 1,309,890 shares of common stock of the Company (all of which is
expected to be issued in the quarter ending September 30, 1996) and
approximately $150,000 (which is expected to be paid in January of 1997.) In
addition, the outstanding shares of preferred stock of Limbex were converted
into the right to receive $3,599,753 from the Company on August 14, 1997 (the
"Preferred Consideration Date"), which may be paid, at the Company's option, in
cash, a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to $3,599,753
divided by the average closing sales price of common stock of the Company for
the period of five trading days ending on the trading day two trading days prior
to the Preferred Consideration Date, or a combination of cash and shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company also assumed vested options to purchase
102,991 of the shares of the Company's common stock.


           Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement, dated as of August 13, 1996, by and among the Company, American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company, as Escrow Agent, and certain of the Shareholders, a
portion of the consideration will be placed in escrow to satisfy potential
indemnification obligations of certain of the Shareholders under the
Reorganization Agreement. In connection with the Merger, the Company and the
Shareholders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August
13, 1996, pursuant to which the Shareholders are entitled to certain
registration rights with respect to the shares of the Company's common stock to
be issued in the Merger.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

Current legal proceeding:

         On or about September 3, 1996, a class action lawsuit, Merjorie
Williams, et al. v. Quarterdeck Corporation, was filed in the Circuit Court of
the Eight Judicial Circuit, Alachua County, Florida (Case No. 96-3041), by
Merjorie Williams and Penelope Claire Satterwhite on behalf of all licenses of
MagnaRam 2 (a Quarterdeck product) residing in the United States.  The
complaint alleges that MagnaRam 2 fails to significantly increase Random Access
Memory or otherwise help Windows 95 and Windows 3.x users.  Plaintiffs assert
the following causes of action: breach of express contract; breach of implied
contract; breach of express warranties; breach of implied warranty of
merchantability; breach of implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose;
fraudulent misrepresentation; negligence; and gross negligence.  Plaintiffs
seek compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, injunctive relief, and
attorney fees and costs.

        Quarterdeck intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial
         statements of Quarterdeck Corporation, Vertisoft, and Limbex give
         retroactive effect to the acquisitions. The Vertisoft acquisition is
         being accounted for as an immaterial pooling of interests and
         accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combining balance sheet
         and statement of operations are presented as if the combining companies
         had been combined as of October 1, 1995.

         The Limbex acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase and
         accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combining balance sheet
         is presented as if the purchase had occurred on June 30, 1996; the
         unaudited pro forma condensed combining statement of operations for
         the nine months ended June 30, 1996 is presented as if the purchase
         had occurred on October 1, 1995.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements that
         reflect the Vertisoft acquisition will become the historical financial
         statements of Quarterdeck Corporation. The unaudited pro forma
         condensed combining financial statements that reflect the Limbex
         acquisition are supplied only to give the reader an understanding of
         how the combined Company may have performed if the purchase occurred on
         October 1, 1995. These statements will not become the historical
         financial statements of Quarterdeck Corporation.

         These unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements may
         not be indicative of the results that actually may be obtained in the
         future. The unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial
         statements, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction
         with the historical consolidated financial statements of Quarterdeck
         Corporation, Vertisoft and Limbex.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Vertisoft Systems, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated as a California
corporation on February 1, 1989 and adopted a fiscal year end of January 31. The
Company derives revenue from the sale of computer software.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided by the
straight-line method over the useful lives of the related assets, estimated to
be 5 to 7 years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized upon shipment, where
collection of the resulting receivable is probable and there are no significant
obligations remaining. The estimated cost to fulfill technical support
obligations to end users arising from the sale of software is accrued upon
shipment. Certain limited rights of return and exchange from customers exists as
defined by the Company's general distributor and reseller agreements. The
Company establishes allowances for estimated product returns and price
protections as a reserve against revenues. The reserve activity for the year is
approximately as follows:

INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109").

USE OF ESTIMATES

Company management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to
the reporting of assets and liabilities in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a defendant in various pending claims and lawsuits. Management
believes that the disposition of such matters will not have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements.

The Company leases facilities under operating leases that expire through 1997.
Rental expense for the year ended 1996 amounted to $73,000. The minimum annual
rental payments under the leases are as follows:

</TABLE>

FAS 109 requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred
income taxes. The deferred income tax asset at January 31, 1996 amounted to
$975,200. The deferred tax asset consisted of the tax effect of future reversal
of temporary differences, resulting primarily from reserves and deferred
compensation. Recognition of the deferred tax asset is dependent on a number of
factors, including the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and an
assessment of the future realizability of the deferred tax asset.

The actual income tax benefit differs from the "expected" income tax expense
computed by applying the effective Federal income tax rate of 34% to income
before taxes as follows:

       Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following:

                Reserves                                                    $769,300

       Total net deferred tax asset                                         $975,200
                                                                            ========
</TABLE>

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether or not it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets may be dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during
the periods in which those temporary differences become



                                       12
<PAGE>   13





deductible or on the generation of future losses which may be carried back to
prior periods. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the
entire deferred tax asset will be realized based on future projection of future
taxable income and loss, as well as available tax planning strategies.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has conducted a field audit of the company's
federal income tax returns for the years 1994 and 1995 and has proposed various
adjustments to increase taxable income. The major proposed adjustments to income
are a result of the IRS imposing a change in accounting method from cash to
accrual in one fiscal year which would result in an acceleration of tax
liability. If the Company had made this change in method on their own
initiative, they would have been able to apply this change over a four year
period The Company is attempting to finalize the field auditor's analysis and
determine the best course of action. The Company believes that it has
meritorious defenses to its position with respect to the claims. Management has
analyzed all of these matters and has provided for amounts which it believes are
adequate.

NOTE 4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In December 1995, the majority shareholder of the Company incorporated Vertisoft
Direct, Inc. and Vertisoft, Inc. and is the owner of 100% of the common stock of
these entities. These entities received loans from the Company. At January 31,
1996, loans to these entities were $102,397 each.

The majority shareholder earns a commission of 5% of gross sales collected.
Commission expense for the year was $832,000. There is an accrued liability to
the majority shareholder for commissions earned but not paid at year-end in the
amount of $514,753.

The Company paid $100,000 to a disk duplication company owned by the brother of
one of the minority shareholders of the Company. Amount payable to the related
company at year-end is $21,000.

NOTE 5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company executed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization on July 18, 1996.
The Agreement states that (i) Vertisoft Direct, Inc. will be merged with and
into the Company, (ii) immediately thereafter, VSI Acquisition Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Quarterdeck Corporation (Quarterdeck), will be merged
with and into the Company in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization. As a result of these transactions, all of the outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company will be exchanged for shares of common
stock of Quarterdeck. Accordingly, Quarterdeck will own 100% of the Company.

                     UNAUDITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              MAY 31, 1996 AND 1995


NOTE  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Vertisoft Systems, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated as a California
corporation on February 1, 1989 and adopted a fiscal year end of January 31. The
Company derives revenue from the sale of computer software.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided by the
straight-line method over the useful lives of the related assets, estimated to
be 5 to 7 years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized upon shipment, where
collection of the resulting receivable is probable and there are no significant
obligations remaining. The estimated cost to fulfill technical support
obligations to end users arising from the sale of software is accrued upon
shipment. Certain limited rights of return and exchange from customers exists as
defined by the Company's general distributor and reseller agreements. The
Company establishes allowances for estimated product returns and price
protections as a reserve against revenues.

INVENTORY

Inventory, consisting primarily of product packaging, documentation and media,
is stated at lower of cost or market (net realizable value). Cost is determined
by the first-in, first-out method.

INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109").

USE OF ESTIMATES

Company management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to
the reporting of assets and liabilities in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In December 1995, the majority shareholder of the Company incorporated Vertisoft
Direct, Inc. and Vertisoft, Inc. and is the owner of 100% of the common stock of
these entities. These entities received loans from the Company. During the four
months ended May 31, 1996, the loan to Vertisoft, Inc. was repaid to the
Company. At May 31, 1996, the loan to Vertisoft Direct totalled $102,397.

The majority shareholder earns commissions of 5% of gross sales collected. There
is an accrued liability to the majority shareholder for commissions earned but
not paid of $532,000 at May 31, 1996.

                               LIMBEX CORPORATION
                                 MARCH 31, 1996
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Limbex Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated as a California corporation
on May 5, 1995. and adopted a fiscal year end of March 31. The Company derives
revenue from the sale of intelligent agent search technology under software
development contracts, as well as providing related ancillary services.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
estimated to be three years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Software development revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
contracted period of development. The Company recognizes non-refundable,
non-recoupable royalties as revenue when received.

INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109").

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123 will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, and will require that the
Company either recognize in its financial statements costs related to its
employee stock-based compensation plans, such as stock option and stock purchase
plans, or make pro forma disclosures of such costs in a footnote to the
financial statements.

The Company expects to continue to use the intrinsic value-based method of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, as allowed under SFAS No. 123, to
account for all of its employee stock-based compensation plans. Therefore, in
its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company will
make the required pro forma disclosures in a footnote to the financial
statements. SFAS No. 123 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Company management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to
the reporting of assets and liabilities in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.



NOTE 2.  LICENSE

The license represents rights to technology used to develop the initial version
of the Company's product. The Company paid $600,000 and issued 884,422 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, valued at $220,000. In addition, the Company has
future royalty commitments based on the Company's revenues. The Company is
amortizing this license on the straight-line basis over the license term, 30
months, as research and development. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 1996
was $300,666.

NOTE 3.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Series A Preferred Stock - The Company issued 800,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and a Warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company for $1.00 per share. The warrant expires on May 8, 2000. The Series A
Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $1 per share.
In the event of liquidation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are
capital, surplus or earnings, an amount equal to $1 for each share of Series A
Preferred Stock before any payment shall be made or assets distributed on any
other class or series of the Company's capital stock, including without
limitation the Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

Series B Preferred Stock - The Company issued 884,422 outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, valued at $220,000, in connection with the acquisition
of a license. In the event of liquidation, after payment or distribution to the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the full amounts due, the remaining
assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders shall be
distributed ratably among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Common
Stock then outstanding (treating the Series B Preferred Stock as if converted
into Common Stock).

Each share of Preferred Stock (Series A and B) shall be convertible into the
number of shares of Common Stock which results from dividing $1.00 by the
Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect at the time of
conversion. The initial conversion price per share for the Series A and Series B
Preferred Stock shall be $1.00, subject to certain adjustments.

Common Stock - The Company issued 2,235,176 shares of Common Stock to the
founders for no consideration. The Company issued 100,502 shares to a board
member for $25,000.

NOTE 4.  STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

During the fiscal year, the Company adopted The Limbex Corporation 1995 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for employees to purchase shares of
the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to options that will qualify as
incentive stock options. In addition, employees, directors, consultants or other
persons may purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to
non-qualified stock options. The aggregate combined number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock made subject to options granted under the Plan during the
term hereof, to all recipients in total shall not exceed one million shares.

Under the terms of the Plan, options shall expire no later than ten years from
the date on which the option is granted. Each option shall be exercisable during
the period prior to its expiration date in such installments as the Board of
Directors or Committee shall determine. In the event of a change in control, all
options will become fully vested. Incentive stock options are granted at 100% of
fair market value. During the fiscal year, the Company granted 186,000 incentive
stock options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. In addition, the Company
granted 20,000 non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $0.25 per
share. No options have been canceled or exercised and none of the outstanding
options are exercisable at March 31, 1996.

NOTE 5.  INCOME TAXES

FAS 109 requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred
income taxes. The deferred income taxes at March 31, 1996 amounted to $95,000
for which a full valuation allowance was provided. The deferred tax assets
consisted of the tax effect of future reversal of temporary differences,
resulting primarily from revenue from certain royalty and software development
agreements, which was not recognized for book purposes. Recognition of the
deferred tax assets is dependent on a number of factors, including the timing of
reversal of the temporary differences and an assessment of the future
realizability of the deferred tax assets.

The actual income tax benefit differs from the "expected" income tax benefit
computed by applying the effective Federal income tax rate of 34% to loss before
taxes as follows (in thousands):

       Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following:

                Deferred revenue                                            $ 18,000

</TABLE>

The Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward of $77,000 expiring in
2011.

The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability
of the deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance is required.

NOTE 6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Currently all of the Company's revenue is derived from a software development
agreement with the owner of the Series A Preferred Stock and warrant. At March
31, 1996, there was $45,500 of deferred revenue relating to the software
development agreement. In July 1996, the warrant was exercised and 100,000
shares of Common Stock were issued for $100,000.

The owner of the Series A Preferred Stock is providing certain facilities,
equipment and staff to the Company in connection with performance of the
Company's obligations under the terms of the software development agreement. In
addition, the owner of the Series A Preferred Stock is obligated to pay minimum
royalties to the Company in addition to a $400,000 advance that was paid to the
Company in January 1996.

NOTE 7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

by the average closing sales price of Quarterdeck Common Stock for the period of
five trading days ending on the trading day two trading days prior to the
closing date, (ii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive

the fair market value of 18,838 shares of Quarterdeck Common Stock based upon
the average closing sales price of Quarterdeck Common Stock for the period of
five trading days ending on the trading day two trading days prior to the
closing date. This cash amount is due no later than January 31, 1997, and (iv)
the 2,235,176 shares of Common Stock issued to the founders shall be converted
into the right to receive 1,197,009 shares of Quarterdeck Common Stock at the

Quarterdeck at the closing and shall become an option to acquire 0.53553237 of a
share of Quarterdeck Common Stock for each share of the Company's Common Stock
previously subject to the Option at an exercise price equal to the exercise
price per share of the Company Common Stock divided by .53553237. Approximately
110,000 options to acquire Quarterdeck Common Stock shall be issued. The options

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Limbex Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated as a California corporation
on May 5, 1995. and adopted a fiscal year end of March 31. The Company derives
revenue from the sale of intelligent agent search technology under software
development contracts, as well as providing related ancillary services.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
estimated to be three years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Software development revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
contracted period of development. The Company recognizes non-refundable,
non-recoupable royalties as revenue when received.

INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109").

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123 will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, and will require that the
Company either recognize in its financial statements costs related to its
employee stock-based compensation plans, such as stock option and stock purchase
plans, or make pro forma disclosures of such costs in a footnote to the
financial statements.

The Company expects to continue to use the intrinsic value-based method of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, as allowed under SFAS No. 123, to
account for all of its employee stock-based compensation plans. Therefore, in
its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company will
make the required pro forma disclosures in a footnote to the financial
statements. SFAS No. 123 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Company management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to
the reporting of assets and liabilities in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

of the Company's product. The Company paid $600,000 and issued 884,422 shares of

Limbex Corporation ("Limbex") by Quarterdeck Corporation ("Quarterdeck"). The
Unaudited footnotes that follow include a restatement of common shares
outstanding and earnings per share for the fiscal years ended September 30,
1995, 1994 and 1993, giving effect to the issuance of 3,500,000 common shares in
connection with the acquisition of Vertisoft but does not include the results of
operations of Vertisoft or of Limbex, nor the shares issued in the Limbex
purchase, as those results are immaterial to Quarterdeck.

         On July 18, 1996, Quarterdeck acquired 100% of the common stock of
Vertisoft in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of Quarterdeck Common Stock. This
transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and, as a result,
the unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements are presented
as if the combining companies had been combined commencing October 1, 1995. The
retained earnings of Vertisoft as of September 30, 1995 and results of
operations for the year ended September 30, 1995 and prior are immaterial to
Quarterdeck. Accordingly, the financial statements prior to October 1, 1995 have
not been restated to reflect such financial statements of Vertisoft. However,
the number of shares issued in the Vertisoft pooling of interests is material
to Quarterdeck for all periods. Therefore, the number of common shares
outstanding and earnings per share have been restated (see Note 7) for all
periods after October 1, 1992, to reflect the 3,500,000 shares issued in such
transaction.

         On August 14, 1996, Quarterdeck consummated the acquisition of the
remaining shares of Limbex not already owned, pursuant to the terms of an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of August 13, 1996 (the
"Reorganization Agreement"), by and among the Company, Limbex, and the
shareholders of Limbex (the "Shareholders"). Prior to such acquisition,
Quarterdeck owned approximately 20% of the outstanding capital stock of Limbex.
Limbex is the developer of the WebCompass product line. In connection with the
Merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Limbex were converted
into 1,309,890 shares of common stock of the Company (all of which are expected
to be issued in the quarter ending September 30, 1996) and approximately
$150,000 (which is expected to be paid in January of 1997.) In addition, the
outstanding shares of preferred stock of Limbex were converted into the right to
receive $3,599,753 from the Company on August 14, 1997 (the "Preferred
Consideration Date"), which may be paid, at the Company's option, in cash, a
number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to $3,599,753 divided by
the average closing sales price of common stock of the Company for the period of
five trading days ending on the trading day two trading days prior to the
Preferred Consideration Date, or a combination of cash and shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company also assumed vested options to purchase
102,991 of the shares of the Company's common stock. This transaction is
accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations and financial position
of Limbex will be consolidated with the Company as of the purchase date. The Pro
forma presentation that follows combining the results from Limbex since October
1, 1995 with those of the Company is presented for the readers' information
only. A Pro-forma statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1995
has not been presented as Limbex commenced operations in May of 1995 and such
results are immaterial.

                  QUARTERDECK CORPORATION, VERTISOFT AND LIMBEX
                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
           COMBINING BALANCE SHEETS AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                       COMBINING STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

1.    The unaudited pro forma condensed combining balance sheet reflects the
      financial position of Quarterdeck Corporation together with Vertisoft
      Systems, Inc. and Limbex Corporation assuming the acquisitions occurred on
      June 30, 1996.

2.    The unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of operations of
      Quarterdeck together with Vertisoft Systems, Inc. and Limbex Corporation
      were prepared as if the acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of the
      period presented and are not necessarily indicative of operating results
      which would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated at the
      beginning of such period and should not be construed as representative of
      future operations.

3.    The pro forma condensed combining financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Quarterdeck, the
      current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission on June 25, 1996 which updated the financial data contained in
      the Quarterdeck 1995 Form 10-K giving effect to material acquisitions
      which occurred after the date of such report on Form 10-K and the
      Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Quarterdeck for the period ended June 30,
      1996. 

      On July 18, 1996, Quarterdeck acquired Vertisoft in exchange for 3,500,000
      shares of Quarterdeck common stock in a transaction which was accounted
      for as an immaterial pooling of interests. Accordingly, all financial
      information subsequent to October 1, 1995, has been restated to reflect
      the combined operations of Vertisoft and Quarterdeck. 

      On August 14, 1996, Quarterdeck consummated the acquisition of the
      remaining shares of Limbex. Prior to such acquisition, Quarterdeck owned
      approximately 20% of the outstanding capital stock of Limbex. Limbex is
      the developer of the WebCompass product line. The acquisition of Limbex
      was accomplished by way of a merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of the Company with and into Limbex and as a result of the
      Merger Limbex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In
      connection with the Merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock
      of Limbex were converted into 1,309,890 shares of common stock of the
      Company (all of which is expected to be issued in the quarter ending
      September 30, 1996) and approximately $150,000 (which is expected to be
      paid in January of 1997.) In addition, the outstanding shares of preferred
      stock of Limbex were converted into the right to receive $3,599,753 from
      the Company on August 14, 1997 (the "Preferred Consideration Date"), which
      may be paid, at the Company's option, in cash, a number of shares of
      common stock of the Company equal to $3,599,753 divided by the average
      closing sales price of common stock of the Company for the period of five
      trading days ending on the trading day two trading days prior to the
      Preferred Consideration Date, or a combination of cash and shares of the
      Company's common stock. The Company also assumed vested options to
      purchase 102,991 of the shares of the Company's common stock. 

4.    Adjustments have been made to reflect the exchange of Vertisoft's common
      stock as well as the issuance of stock in connection with the purchase of
      Limbex.

5.    Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been made to the Vertisoft
      and Limbex financial statements in the unaudited pro forma condensed
      combining financial statements to conform to Quarterdeck presentation and
      to revalue the Vertisoft deferred tax asset and to reflect the
      revaluation of the acquired assets and liabilities of Limbex. Management
      is in the process of reviewing the allocation of the Limbex purchase price
      and may modify this preliminary allocation.

              Quarterdeck and Vertisoft Pooling adjustments:

     (i)     To increase the valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset and
             to state the asset at its current expected value.

              Prior to acquisition Vertisoft did not have any valuation
              allowance.  Upon acquisition the recognition of the deferred tax
              asset became less certain due to Quarterdeck's consolidated tax
              filing requirements.  Consequently, a valuation allowance has been
              recorded to conservatively state the Quarterdeck consolidated
              deferred tax asset.

     (ii)     To reclass Vertisoft's estimated liability for marketing funds
              due to distributors to a reduction of receivables consistent with
              Quarterdeck accounting policies.

     (iii)   To properly state the pooled common stock account.

     (iv)    To reduce the tax benefit consistent with (i.) above.

             Quarterdeck and Limbex Purchase adjustments (in thousands):

     A.      To record the consideration of $14,861 relating to the acquisition
             of Limbex as follows: $11,131 for 1,309,890 shares of Quarterdeck
             stock issued at closing and the assumption of vested options to
             acquire 102,991 additional shares of Quarterdeck common stock; $148
             to be paid at a future date; $3,240, net of a discount of $360, due
             in August of 1997 which may be paid in cash or shares of stock;
             $342 for capitalized costs of acquisition.

     B.      To reclassify Quarterdeck's prior investment in, and prepaid
             royalty advance to Limbex.

     C.      To accrue related acquisition costs.

     D.      To eliminate Limbex equity at June 30, 1996.

     E.      To allocate the purchase price to; In process research &
             development (expense) $12,121; Capitalized software costs $904; and
             Other intangible assets of $328.

     F.      To amortize intangible assets on a straight line basis over 2 to 3
             years and goodwill on a straight line basis over a period of ten
             years.

     G.      To amortize the capitalized software acquired on a straight line
             basis over a period of three years.

     H.      To record the imputed interest expense associated with the
             consideration due in August, 1997.

     J.      To expense the In process research & development acquired.

     K.      To eliminate intercompany revenue.

6.    The Company will report acquisition and related restructuring costs
      amounting to approximately $1,200,000 for financial advisory, legal,
      accounting services, personnel severance and benefits, and other related
      expenses in connection with the pooling of interests with Vertisoft.
      These expenses have not been included in the Pro Forma Statements herein
      but will be expensed during the quarter ending September 30, 1996.

7.   The following table is a restatement of common shares outstanding and
      earnings per share for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and
      1993, giving effect to the issuance of 3,500,000 common shares in
      connection with the acquisition of Vertisoft.  The table does not include
      the results of operations of Vertisoft or of Limbex, nor the shares issued
      in the Limbex purchase, as those results are immaterial to Quarterdeck.
      In accordance with Pooling of interests accounting the historical
      financial statements of Quarterdeck are restated (see Pro forma statements
      above) to include Vertisoft as of October 1, 1995.  Because the shares
      issued in the Vertisoft pooling are material the number of common shares
      outstanding as well as earnings (loss) per share are restated to include
      such shares for all periods presented.
