                             TEKNOWLEDGE CORPORATION
                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1999


1.    Interim Statements

            The interim  statements  included  herein have been  prepared by the
      Company,  without  audit,  pursuant  to the rules and  regulations  of the
      Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and footnote
      disclosures  normally included in annual financial  statements prepared in
      accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  have  been
      condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However, the
      Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
      presented  not  misleading.  These  interim  statements  should be read in
      conjunction  with the financial  statements and the notes thereto included
      in the  Company's  annual  report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
      December 31, 1998. 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  presented herein are not
      necessarily  indicative  of results  that may be  achieved  for the entire
      fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

2.    Net Income Per Share

            Net income per share is calculated in accordance  with the provision
      of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings
      per Share," adopted by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1997. SFAS No.
      128 requires companies to compute net income per share under two different
      methods,  basic and  diluted.  Basic  earning per share is  calculated  by
      dividing  net  income by the  weighted  average  shares  of  common  stock
      outstanding during the period.  Diluted earning per share is calculated by
      dividing net income by the weighted  average shares of outstanding  common
      stock and  common  stock  equivalents  during  the  period.  Common  stock
      equivalents  consist of  dilutive  shares  issuable  upon the  exercise of
      outstanding common stock options.

            The  Company  has  effected a  one-for-five  reverse  stock split on
      December  22,  1998.  All share and per share data has been  retroactively
      restated to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. Since there was
      no  change  in per  share  par  value,  aggregate  par value has also been
      retroactively  adjusted to reflect the  reduction  in the number of common
      stock.

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.

         Teknowledge  Corporation  (the "Company") is in the expanding  Internet
software and services  business.  Virtually all of Teknowledge's  government and
commercial  projects involve processing  application  knowledge and distributing
customer  solutions over the Internet.  The Company's  strategy for the past few
years has been to convert  the  software  technology  and  skills  gained in the
government  R&D business into  commercial  business.  In 1998, the percentage of
commercial revenues was 1%. In the first quarter of 1999 ("Q-1"), the percentage
of commercial  business  increased to 5%. In addition,  as  government  contract
revenues  declined in the first  quarter,  Teknowledge  invested in training its
staff  to  deliver  commercial  3rd  party  products,  and in  software  product
development.   The  Company   expects  that  this  transition  will  take  place
incrementally as the new business builds customer  references and momentum.  The
Company is  implementing  its strategy to move its primary revenue base from the
defense R&D customer base to the rapid-growth  commercial  applications customer
base.   Teknowledge's   talented  technical  staff,  its  dual-purpose  software
technology  base, and the exploding  commercial  Internet  market,  makes this a
viable and potentially rewarding transformation.

         Teknowledge's core competencies are in E-Commerce,  web-based training,
information   assurance,   situation   assessment,   and   distributed   systems
engineering.   These  core   competencies  are   complementary   and  inherently
"dual-use."  They help  Teknowledge  integrate its own proprietary  software and
third party products into a total systems  solution for customers in industry or
government.  In Q-1,  Teknowledge  began  selling a total  systems  solution  to
developing E-Commerce sites. The Teknowledge Information Assurance security team
in Washington is providing the Check Point  FireWall-1(TM)  security  expertise.
The  Web-based  Training  team is  providing  some  of the  recent  upgrades  to
Teknowledge's Sales Associate(TM)  product. The E-Commerce team supplied the IBM
Net.Commerce(TM)  E-commerce  storefront  expertise  and the  component  systems
integration  work.  This type of  web-enabled  application  system  supports the
integration,  processing,  and systematic  utilization of a customer's knowledge
assets to achieve its strategic objectives.  Teknowledge's  business now depends
on increasing its customer's quality, speed, and efficiency of operations on the
Internet.

         The exponential  increase in information flowing through the World Wide
Web has placed a premium on the ability to apply  knowledge to enhance the value
of  information.  This trend  leverages  Teknowledge's  expertise  in  knowledge
processing.  Knowledge  has become the key enabler to providing  informed  sales
advice on an E-Commerce web site, or the individualized lessons in Teknowledge's
Courseware Factory project for Web-based training. In Q-1, several staff members
had dual  appointments in Web-based  training and  E-Commerce.  These two groups
began  building a common  software  component  that can be used by web  servers.
Unlike the stand-alone  expert system,  Internet-based  knowledge systems enable
new  relationships   between  people  and  computers  in  capturing,   refining,
distributing,  and applying  knowledge to solve business  application  problems.
Knowledge that was once held only by people can now be processed consistently by
a computer  and  distributed  via a web server to millions of customers 7 days a
week,  24 hours a day.  This type of  "activated"  knowledge can also be used by
Teknowledge's other groups, to assess situations rapidly in a crisis, defend web
sites from attack, or ensure the distribution of messages to the right people at
the right time.

         In Q-1, Teknowledge  continued to invest in its own Sales Associate(TM)
software that acts as an electronic sales agent for selling products on Internet
E-Commerce web sites.  In order to facilitate  the  opportunity to install Sales
Associate(TM)  on  major  web  sites,  Teknowledge  has  also  invested  in  the
capability to provide total customer  solutions for  E-Commerce web sites.  This
includes  E-Commerce  strategy,  web design,  storefront server,  firewall,  and
database  delivery.   Teknowledge  has  become  a  Premier  Provider  for  IBM's
E-Commerce   web-site   storefront  product  called   Net.Commerce(TM),   and  a
value-added reseller of Check Point's security  Firewall-1(TM)  product. In Q-1,
Teknowledge  became a Microsoft  Certified  Solution  Provider,  which enables a
closer  coupling to the NT versus the UNIX  platform for  component  application
solutions.  Teknowledge's  customer base is expected to change  significantly as

<PAGE>
                                       8


E-Commerce related investment and customer solution  capabilities  increase over
the coming years.

         Teknowledge  has  sustained its business for  seventeen  years.  It has
reported  nineteen  consecutive  profitable  quarters.  The Company maintains an
aggressive intellectual property program and defends its eight key U.S. software
patents  vigorously.   Teknowledge  provides  a  challenging  and  collaborative
technical environment with many employee rewards. These rewards include advanced
education  and  training,   incentive   stock  options,   performance   bonuses,
competitive  salary,  and  an  attractive   benefits  program.   Teknowledge  is
headquartered in Palo Alto, California with offices in Fairfax, Orlando, and San
Diego.  The Company's  stock is traded on the NASDAQ  SmallCap  Market under the
symbol TEKC.  Teknowledge was incorporated on July 8, 1981 under the laws of the
State of Delaware.

Results of Operations

Revenues

         Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were  $2,790,644,  a
decrease of 9% from  $3,069,930 for the comparable  period in 1998.  Revenues in
the first quarter of 1999 were affected by two factors that contributed to lower
than  expected  revenues:  1) the overall  demand for some  government  services
declined  as a result of  government-initiated  cutbacks  in the latter  part of
1998, and 2) the Company diverted some of its technical employees to non-revenue
producing functions,  such as, Sales Associate(TM)  software development and 3rd
party VAR  product  training,  in  anticipation  of an  increase  in demand  for
commercial  services in the future.  Approximately 95% of the revenues earned in
the first  quarter of 1999 were  attributed  to contracts  with  agencies of the
Federal  Government,  and the  remaining 5% of revenues were  commercial.  While
commercial  revenues were relatively  small,  they have increased  approximately
five-fold since 1998, when commercial  revenues were  approximately  1% of total
revenues.  The Company began work in March 1999 to develop a secured  commercial
Internet  web site for a  financial  service  provider.  The first phase of this
project is to be completed in June 1999, with the target date for public release
expected sometime around September 1999. This type of project is an example of a
new source of revenue  for the  Company.  It is part of the  strategy to produce
total  solutions for  E-Commerce  web sites using a combination of 3rd party web
site and security products as well as Teknowledge's own software,  such as Sales
Associate (TM).

Costs and Expenses

      Cost of revenues was $1,655,107 for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
a 16%  decrease  from  the  comparable  period  in  1998.  The  cost of labor on
government  contracts  declined in relation to the reduced  rate of  production.
This was  partially  offset by an 8%  increase  in  billable  subcontractor  and
consultant costs. Subcontractor and consultant costs were $624,372 for the first
quarter  ended March 31,  1999,  compared to $580,413 in the same  quarter  last
year. Cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues represented 59% for the
three months  ended March 31,  1999;  a 5% decrease  from the three months ended
March 31, 1998.

      General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 1999
were  $629,819,  a 4%  increase  over the first  quarter  in 1998.  General  and
administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were 23% of total
revenues, versus 20% for the first quarter last year.

      Sales and  marketing  costs  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999
increased to $130,677,  or 17% from the comparable period in 1998, primarily due
to increased  telemarketing efforts. Sales and marketing costs were 5% and 4% of
total revenues for the first quarter in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      Research and  development  ("R&D")  costs for the three months ended March
31, 1999 were $148,676,  an 18% decrease from the comparable period in 1998. The
three-month  decrease resulted from a migration of R&D work to billable contract
work, both commercial and government. R&D costs were 6% of revenues for both the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 and 1998.  These  figures  did not include

<PAGE>
                                       9


primary R&D conducted  under contract for our customers and also did not include
software development costs that were capitalized during the period.

      Interest  income was $26,209 and $24,148 for the three  months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      Income  before  taxes for  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999  was
$252,575,  which represented an 11% increase over the comparable period in 1998,
of $227,007.  The increase was  directly  attributable  to the  expansion of the
E-Commerce  business  and revenue in the first  quarter of 1999.  Income  before
taxes  represented  9% and 7% of revenues,  for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

      The Company has utilized  essentially all tax losses generated  subsequent
to the date of the quasi-reorganization,  which were reflected as a reduction to
the effective tax rate and provision for income taxes,  up to December 31, 1998.
Commencing  1999,  realization  of tax  benefits  existing  at the  date  of the
quasi-reorganization is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital.
Accordingly,  the Company has increased its effective tax rate and provision for
income taxes for the first quarter of 1999.  However,  even with the increase in
its effective tax rate for book  purposes,  the Company will continue to realize
full cash savings from its extensive  tax loss benefits  existing at the date of
the  quasi-reorganization.  In short, the Company will begin to report increased
tax expenses,  but will not actually pay such taxes, and there will be no effect
on the Company's cash resulting from the reported increases.

      Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $151,545, or $.03
per diluted share,  versus  $219,807,  or $.04 per diluted  share,  for the same
period in 1998.  Net income  represented  5% and 7% of  revenues,  for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  Due to the  aforementioned
increase in the Company's  provision for income taxes,  net income for the first
quarter of 1999 was reduced by approximately $100K from the comparable period in
1998.

Bookings and Backlog

      At March 31, 1999, the expected  multi-year  contract  commitments  (order
backlog)  from  government  customers  were  approximately  $17  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. Approximately 63% of the backlog
consist of 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, 1998
was approximately $15 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      As of March 31, 1998, unused sources of liquidity  consisted of $1,923,606
in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $454,784 from December 31, 1998. The
decrease  consisted of $448,184 used by operating  activities mostly in the form
of increase in  unbilled  receivables,  $33,499  used for  investing  in capital
software development and fixed assets, offset by $26,899 provided by issuance of
common stock related to stock option programs. Unbilled receivables increased as
a result of a  positive  difference  between  the  annualized  booked and billed
overhead  rates,  which is typical at the early part of the year when  estimates
dominate  overhead rate  calculations.  The Company  anticipates  recovering the
related unbilled  amounts in the near term,  pending approval of a rate increase
from the government.

      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 Company has an unsecured  line of credit from a financial  institution
in the amount of  $2,000,000.  The  Company may borrow up to the lower of 60% of
the receivable base or $2,000,000, at a rate of one percent over prime. The line
is subject to certain covenants and maintenance requirements and expires in June
1999. The Company has not utilized the credit line through March 31, 1999.


<PAGE>
                                       10


      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. Future growth might require additional financing.


Year 2000

      The Company is aware of and is addressing the issues  associated  with the
programming code in existing  computer systems as the millennium ("year 2000" or
"Y2K")  approaches.  The key  issue  is  whether  computer  systems  will  treat
date-sensitive  information  correctly  when  the  year  changes  to  2000.  The
consequences  of this issue may include  system  failures and  business  process
interruption.

      Although most of the hardware and software currently in use at the Company
is  relatively  new and expected to be Y2K  compliant,  the issue can affect the
Company's  internal systems,  including  information  technology (IT) and non-IT
systems.  The Company has begun its  assessment  of the readiness of its systems
for handling Y2K, by  inventorying  and analyzing its  centralized  computer and
embedded  systems to identify any potential  issues.  Although the assessment is
still underway,  management believes that no significant remediation efforts and
compliance  expenses  inside the Company are necessary.  The Company  expects to
substantially complete the remaining assessment and remediation,  if any, of its
internal systems,  as well as to develop  contingency plans for certain internal
systems,  by  mid-1999.  However,  if  implementation  of  remediation  plans is
delayed,  if  significant  new  non-compliance  issues  are  identified,  or  if
contingency  plans  fail,  the  Company's  results of  operations  or  financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.

      Almost  all  of  the  Company's  revenues  are  currently  generated  from
government  R&D  service  contracts,  the  deliverable  of which is  sometimes a
software  prototype.  Under some of the contracts,  the government requires from
the Company a Y2K warranty within the contracts,  which generally guarantees all
software   delivered   under   government   contracts  to  be  able  to  process
date-sensitive  information  beyond Y2K  accurately,  to the extent  other third
party  elements  used  in  combination  are  Y2K  compliant.   In  the  case  of
noncompliance  discovered  and  communicated  to the Company within a prescribed
timeframe,  usually 90 days from acceptance of an item,  remedies in the form of
repair or  replacement  will be made  available.  The Company is exposed only on
ongoing government contracts, and believes that software developed under them is
Y2K compliant.

      The Company is currently  addressing  its exposure  related to significant
third parties.  Key suppliers and vendors are being  identified and contacted to
determine if their  operations  and/or the products and services they provide to
the Company are Y2K  compliant.  The Company  believes its  financial  reporting
systems are  compliant.  The Company plans to replace its  telephone  system and
upgrade  its  internal  security  system,  if  required,  before  year-end.  The
Department of Defense  ("DoD") is confident  that  payments to its  contractors,
among others,  will  continue  uninterrupted  in January  2000.  The DoD payment
systems are Y2K compliant  and are targeted to be on Y2K compliant  platforms by
the end of May 1999.  Since the majority of DoD payments are made by  electronic
funds  transfer,  systems  will be tested  with the Federal  Reserve  System and
several  financial  institutions in the June-July 1999 time period.  The Company
intends to continue  working directly with other material third parties to avoid
any business  interruptions in Y2K. Where practicable,  the Company will attempt
to mitigate its risks with respect to the failure of other key third  parties to
be Y2K ready,  including developing  contingency plans.  However, such failures,
including failures of any contingency plans, remain a possibility and could have
a materially  adverse impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.

Risks and Uncertainties

      Teknowledge's   service  revenue  is  currently   derived  primarily  from
government R&D contracts,  and the Company has  historically  been profitable in
that business.  However, dependence on government contracts can be risky because
the  contracts  are  subject  to  administrative,   legislative,  and  political
interruptions,  which may jeopardize the flow of funds.  Another  uncertainty in
providing  services  under  government  contracts  is the  Company's  ability to
attract and retain sufficient technical staff to meet the demands of new orders.

<PAGE>
                                       11


The  Company's  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 original estimates and necessitate  periodic adjustments
to overhead rates and revenues.  Such adjustments are made on a cumulative basis
whereby the resulting revenue and income effects are recognized in the period of
the adjustments.

      The typical cost-type  government  contract performed by the Company has a
regulated  fixed fee limit,  which  inhibits the Company from  improving  profit
margins  beyond what is permitted in the  government  regulations.  In addition,
Federal  Acquisition  Regulations  exclude from reimbursement some "unallowable"
expenses,   which  the  Company  considers  a  regular  part  of  the  business.
Furthermore,  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  believes the Internet and intranet  software  market offers a
significant  new opportunity for growth and Teknowledge is in a good position to
convert  Internet-based  software  developed  under its government R&D contracts
into new commercial products. However, if the Company's E-Commerce related sales
develop  more  slowly  than  expected,  or the  market  becomes  saturated  with
competitors,  or if the Company's products do not achieve market acceptance, the
Company's  commercial business,  financial condition,  and results of operations
may eventually be adversely affected.

Forward-Looking Statements

      Forward   looking   statements   made  in  this  section   relate  to  the
realizability  of backlog,  competition  for new  government  contracts,  mix of
revenues between government and commercial,  development of commercial  products
and VAR  services,  deferred  tax assets,  year 2000 issues,  future  growth and
additional   financing.   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 as a result of competition,
agency funding  limitations,  other factors relating to government  contracting,
ability to attract and retain  technical and  management  personnel,  commercial
opportunities, and other factors set forth under "Risks and Uncertainties" above
and the section  entitled  "Certain  Factors Which May Affect Future  Results of
Operations and/or Stock Price" in the Company's Form 10-KSB.
