                             TEKNOWLEDGE CORPORATION
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996



1.       Interim Statements

                  The interim  statements  are  unaudited  and should be read in
         conjunction  with the  statements  and notes  thereto  contained in the
         Company's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the  fiscal  year  ended
         December  31,  1995.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  these  interim
         statements  include all  adjustments,  consisting of normal,  recurring
         adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for
         such periods.  The results of operations for any interim period are not
         necessarily  indicative of results which may be achieved for the entire
         fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.

2.       Net Income Per Share

                  The number of shares of common  stock used in the  computation
         of per  share  earnings  for the three  months  and nine  months  ended
         September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  is the  weighted  average
         number of shares of common and  common  shares  equivalent  outstanding
         during the  applicable  periods.  Common stock options which are common
         stock  equivalents  are  included  for the three months and nine months
         ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995  because  they are  dilutive.  The
         differences  between  primary and fully diluted  earnings per share are
         immaterial,  therefore only primary earnings per share are presented in
         the financial statements.

3.       Contingencies - Patent Litigation

                  Refer to Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Item 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND   
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

              The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the
              unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

         Forward looking  statements made in this section relating to recruiting
of additional employees,  increase in demand for new employees,  expected growth
and revenues, mix of revenues between government and commercial, anticipated new
government  contracts,  and  the  development  and  announcement  of  commercial
products  are  made  pursuant  to the  safe  harbor  provisions  of the  Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward looking statements involve
risks and  uncertainties,  and actual results could differ materially from those
set forth in the forward looking statements contained herein.

Results of Operations

Revenues

         Revenues for the three months and nine months ended  September 30, 1996
were  $1,847,212  and  $5,180,045,  an  increase  of 25% and 30% over the amount
reported  in the  comparable  periods  in 1995  of  $1,479,998  and  $3,977,651,
respectively.  These increases in revenues result primarily from the addition of
technical  employees who performed on government  contracts awarded between 1994
and 1996.  The Company  continues  to recruit for a number of open  positions on
existing  contracts and  anticipates  an increase in demand for new employees if
new  contracts  are awarded as  anticipated  in the last quarter of fiscal 1996.
Revenues from government contracts represent 98% of total revenues for the three
months and nine months ended  September 30, 1996, as compared to 98% and 94% for
the comparable  periods in 1995. The Company expects the mix of revenues between
government  and  commercial  services  and  products to remain about the same in
1996; however, the Company has increased  significantly its software development
program for commercial Internet software.

         The Company  intends to leverage  the  knowledge  it has gained and the
technology  it has  developed in  government  sponsored  research  programs into
commercial projects,  which have potential for expanding into new business areas
and increasing sales and profit margins significantly.  To this end, the Company
has invested  resources  in the  development  of  commercial  Internet  software
products and is exploring  other  opportunities  in the  commercial  arena.  The
Company's  long-term goal is to increase  significantly the mix of commercial to
government revenues.

Costs and Expenses

         Costs of revenues were  $1,196,555  and $3,184,276 for the three months
and nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  compared to $988,636 and  $2,395,686
for the comparable  periods in 1995,  respectively.  Costs and expenses rose 21%
and 33% for the three months and nine months ended  September  30, 1996 over the
comparable  periods in the previous  year due  primarily  to the  aforementioned
increase  in the  technical  workforce.  Cost of  revenues  as a  percentage  of
revenues  was 65% and 61%,  respectively,  for the three  months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996,  compared to 67% and 60% for the three months and nine
months ended  September 30, 1995.  The slight  decrease in cost of revenues as a
percentage  of  revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 was
incurred  as a result of an increase in bid and  proposal  activities  which the
Company intends to use to generate new bookings.

         Combined selling and marketing and general and administrative costs for
the three  months and nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 were  $508,171 and
$1,625,811,  compared to $411,003  and  $1,370,432  for 1995.  The  increase was
mainly due to the cost of implementing a shareholder Rights Agreement in January
1996,  a  proportional  addition  of  administrative  staff,  and  miscellaneous
administrative  costs in  support  of a growing  technical  workforce.  Combined
selling and  marketing and general and  administrative  costs as a percentage of
revenues  were 28% and 31%,  respectively,  for the three months and nine months


<PAGE>
                                       9


ended September 30, 1996, compared to 28% and 34%,  respectively,  for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1995.

         The Company  recorded no material  charges for research and development
("R&D") in either the three  months or nine months ended  September  30, 1996 or
the  comparable  periods  in  1995.  Most  of its  resources  for  research  and
development were diverted to the litigation  matter as discussed in Part II Item
1. Legal  Proceedings.  On the other hand,  the Company's  extensive  government
sponsored contract work on distributed intelligent systems and Associate Systems
constitutes a significant  amount of  "sponsored  R&D." The company  retains all
patent and commercial rights to the technology it develops on these contracts.

         The Company has capitalized  software  development costs from the point
at which technological  feasibility was determined through general  availability
of the  product.  For the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  capitalized
software  development  costs  were  $60,446 as  compared  to $63,399 in the same
period last year.  These costs reflect the  Company's  effort  towards  building
software products for the commercial marketplace.

         Interest  income was $14,842 and $37,235,  respectively,  for the three
months and nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and $13,519 and $29,428 for the
comparable periods in 1995. Other income was $33,858 and $113,908, respectively,
for the three  months and nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and $47,638 and
$150,442 for the  comparable  periods in 1995. The majority of this other income
was from the  previous  sale of a product  line.  The  product  line was sold in
exchange for a note and a royalty agreement in 1990.  Because of the uncertainty
surrounding  the  eventual  collection  of the note,  the Company has elected to
recognize the proceeds as other income only when cash is received.

         Net income for the three  months and nine months  ended  September  30,
1996 was $188,561 and $513,226, or $.01 and $.02 per share, compared to $141,516
and $388,203,  or $.00 and $.01 per share,  for the three months and nine months
ended  September 30, 1995. Net income  represented 10% of revenues for the three
months and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  A
material portion of net income was derived from non-operating  income related to
the  collection of the note  mentioned in the preceding  paragraph.  The Company
anticipates  some  variation  in net income as a  percentage  of revenues  among
different  quarters of the year,  as a result of  fluctuations  in the amount of
billable hours due to the technical  workforce's  seasonal utilization of earned
vacation time.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations and/or Stock Price

         Currently,  agencies  of  the  U.S.  Government  sponsor  most  of  the
Company's technical work. In recent years, the portion of the Company's revenues
attributed to  government  business has risen from 95% in fiscal 1995 to 98% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Government  contracts are potentially
more risky than commercial  contracts because they are subject to agency funding
limitations, congressional appropriation, and changes in political priorities.

         The typical cost-type  government contract performed by the Company has
a negotiated fee limit which inhibits the Company from improving  profit margins
on the  government  contract  part of the  business  beyond what is permitted in
government regulations. Additionally, almost all the Company's contracts contain
termination clauses which permit contract termination upon the Company's default
or at the contracting  party's  discretion.  The Company has not experienced any
material  cancellations  to date;  however  there can be no assurance  that such
cancellations will not occur in the future.

         All of the Company's government  contracts are the  cost-plus-fixed-fee
type. Revenues,  costs and earnings on government contracts are determined based
on estimated  overhead rates derived from forecasted annual costs. The Company's
actual experience in headcount growth,  billable efficiency,  and costs may vary
from those forecasted and necessitate  adjustments of estimated  overhead rates.
Such  adjustments are made on a cumulative  basis whereby the resulting  revenue
and income effects are recognized in the period of the adjustments.

         Generally,  the Company's  operating  results may be affected by a wide
variety of factors,  including  successful  commercialization  of the  Company's
products,   competition   from  larger   companies,   staffing  and   recruiting
competition,  general economic conditions, and the possibility of a favorable or
unfavorable   outcome  in  pending  litigations  (see  Part  II  Item  1.  Legal
Proceedings.)

Bookings and Backlog

         At September 30, 1996, the expected order backlog was approximately $10
million, which consisted of (i) new orders for which work has not yet begun, and
(ii) revenue remaining to be recognized on work in progress. 100% of the backlog
was from  government  customers.  Approximately  51% of the backlog  consists of
government-sponsored  programs  that  are  awarded  but not yet  authorized  for
funding. The government normally funds a contract in incremental amounts for the
tasks that are currently in production.  The Company's order backlog at December
31, 1995 was approximately $10.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of September  30, 1996,  unused  sources of liquidity of the Company
consisted of  $1,426,193 of cash and cash  equivalents,  an increase of $463,469
from  December  31, 1995.  Included in the  increase  was  $712,751  provided by
operating  activities,  $252,773  used  for  investing  activities,  and  $3,491
provided by financing activities. Net income for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 of $513,226, after adjustments for non-cash items such as depreciation,
amortization and stock  compensation  expense,  provided $828,151 in cash to the
Company.  These  funds were  primarily  used to  acquire  $192,427  in  computer
equipment and  improvements,  reduce  accounts  payable by $82,235,  and finance
$60,446 in software development.

         The  Company   believes  that  the  present  level  of  cash  and  cash
equivalents  is adequate to service  the  liquidity  needs of the Company in the
next  twelve  months.  The  Company  relies  principally  on the  collection  of
receivables  to generate  internal cash  reserves.  The government is capable of
temporarily disrupting the flow of cash to the Company at any time, for example,
as a result of delays associated with the annual budget process. In addition,  a
judgment  adverse to the Company in the legal  proceedings  described in Part II
Item 1  could  have a  negative  material  impact  on the  Company's  short-term
liquidity  if the  Company is subject to  penalties  or other  assessments.  The
Company, however, does not consider this a likely outcome.

         The  Company  has  an  unsecured   line  of  credit  from  a  financial
institution in the amount of $1,000,000.  The Company may borrow up to a maximum
of 60% of the  receivable  base or $1,000,000,  whichever is lower.  The line is
subject to  certain  covenants  and  maintenance  requirements,  which have been
fulfilled.  The line  expires in May 1997 but is  expected  to be  renewed.  The
Company had not utilized the credit line through September 30, 1996.

         Management  believes  the  Company  will be able to operate in the next
twelve months without additional financing, whether in the form of borrowings or
equity  capital.  Successful  operations in the long term will require growth in
revenues and profitability which may require additional financing.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                      On or about August 2, 1994,  Daniel R.  Robusto,  a former
              executive  of the  Company,  filed a suit in the  Court of  Common
              Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania,  pursuant to Pennsylvania
              Wage Payment and Collection Law, alleging breach by the Company of
              an employment settlement agreement and the nonpayment of severance
              wages of $107,307  plus  liquidated  damages of $26,827,  attorney
              fees and other  court  costs.  The Company  has  responded  to the
              initial complaint and asserted defenses and certain  counterclaims
              against Mr.  Robusto based upon his actions  while in office.  The
              litigation process is continuing.

                      On  December  8, 1994,  a lawsuit  was filed in the United
              States  District Court for the Northern  District of California by
              Trilogy  Development Group, Inc.  ("Trilogy") against the Company.
              The subject  matter of the case involves a  configuration  systems
              patent owned by the Company (Bennett et al. U.S. Patent 4,591,983)
              and a sales configuration product of Trilogy. Trilogy is seeking a
              judgment  against  Teknowledge that it does not infringe any claim
              of the Bennett et al. patent,  and for actual and punitive damages
              and attorney fees for alleged unfair  competition under the Lanham
              Act and common law for  misrepresenting  Teknowledge and Trilogy's
              products.  The Company has filed counterclaims against Trilogy for
              patent  infringement and for unfair  competition  under the Lanham
              Act and common law for  alleged  false and  misleading  statements
              disparaging the Bennett et al. patent.

                      On August 27, 1996,  Teknowledge  and Trilogy  Development
              Group,  Inc. agreed to a settlement of their  disputes.  On August
              29, 1996, Trilogy's attorneys provided written notification to the
              Federal   District   Court  that  the   companies  had  reached  a
              settlement.   Under   the   agreement,   Trilogy   would   provide
              consideration to Teknowledge and Teknowledge would grant a license
              to Trilogy to use the  technology  covered by the  patent-in-suit.
              The agreement also provided that all lawsuits  between the parties
              would be dismissed and that all  previously  existing debt between
              the parties would be canceled.  The other details of the agreement
              are to be kept confidential by both parties.

                      Nevertheless,   on  August   30,   1996,   before   formal
              documentation   memorializing   the   settlement   agreement   was
              finalized,  but after Trilogy's  lawyers confirmed to the Court in
              writing that the case had been settled,  the U.S.  District  Court
              entered an order granting  Trilogy's  motion for summary  judgment
              invalidating the patent. In view of the Court's order, Trilogy has
              taken the position that no settlement  yet exists and that it need
              not abide by the terms to which the parties agreed and represented
              to the Court.  The Company has  informed  Trilogy that the Company
              intends to enforce the  settlement  agreement,  and believes  that
              Trilogy has breached the  settlement  agreement.  Accordingly,  on
              September  20,  1996,  the  Company  filed a motion to vacate  the
              judgment in light of the prior settlement. The Company and Trilogy
              engaged in discussions regarding the settlement agreement in light
              of the Court's  judgment.  There is no assurance  that the parties
              will be able to resolve  the issues  without  further  litigation,
              that  the   Company's   motion  to  vacate  and  dismiss  will  be
              successful,  or that  the  Company  will be  able to  enforce  the
              settlement agreement.

                      On  September  19,  1995,  Trilogy  filed  a  suit  in the
              Delaware Superior Court alleging breach of contract by the Company
              in  relation  to  $125,000  in  deferred  payments  under  a  1987
              agreement  between  BMW  Vision  Associates  Limited   Partnership
              ("BMW") and American Cimflex Corporation ("ACC"), a predecessor to
              the Company.  The agreement provided for the sale of technology by
              BMW  to  ACC  for  a  consideration   including  certain  deferred
              payments.  In  July  1995,  Trilogy  acquired  by  assignment  for
              $276,786 BMW's right to the remaining  deferred  payments and then
              demanded payment of $525,000 from the Company.  In September 1995,
              the Company  paid  Trilogy  $400,000 in full  satisfaction  of the

                                       12



              $525,000,  disclaiming  the  obligation  to  pay  the  balance  of
              $125,000  which the  Company  believes  to be barred by statute of
              limitation.  Trilogy filed a suit seeking the $125,000, subsequent
              deferred payments, interest and attorney fees. On August 20, 1996,
              the Court denied the Company's motion for partial summary judgment
              on the choice of law issue,  deciding that California law, instead
              of  Pennsylvania  law,  should  apply to the issue of  accord  and
              satisfaction.  The  Company  is  preparing  a motion  for  summary
              judgment on its statute of limitations defense. However, the final
              outcome  of  this  litigation  may  be  decided  by  the  ultimate
              enforceability of the settlement agreement between the Company and
              Trilogy described in the preceding  paragraph,  which provides for
              the dismissal of this lawsuit and the settlement of the underlying
              claim.
