                                   (UNAUDITED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1998

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
      and related consolidated statements of income and cash flows include all
      adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring items, necessary for
      their fair presentation. The results for the three months ended March 31,
      1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
      for any future periods. These financial statements and related notes
      should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated
      financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 which are
      included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      As previously reported, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change
      in the Company's fiscal year-end from December 31 to April 30. This change
      is being made to improve the company's ability to manage operations in
      light of seasonal customer buying patterns. The Company will report on the
      period ended April 1998 on Form 10-Q and will recast the prior year
      quarterly financial information to conform to the new fiscal periods.

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 130,
      "Reporting Comprehensive Income", in the first quarter of 1998. This
      standard requires disclosure of total nonowner changes in stockholders'
      equity, which is defined as net income plus direct adjustments to
      stockholders' equity such as unrealized gains and losses on equity
      investments adjustments and cumulative translation adjustments. The
      components of the Company's total comprehensive income were:

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
      No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
      Information," which changed the method for determining and reporting
      business segment information. The FASB's approach to determine business
      segments will cause the company to report certain financial information at
      segment levels. This Standard is required to be adopted for interim
      reporting commencing in fiscal 1999.

3.    ACQUISITION

      In March 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of First
      Service Computer Dienstleistungs-GmbH (First Service) of Hattingen,
      Germany and related companies for $11 million cash. First Service
      distributes and supports a range of connectivity software solutions to
      major corporations throughout Germany and has been selling and supporting
      Wall Data's products and technologies for more than seven years. The
      acquisition, accounted for using the purchase method, included a cash
      payment of $11 million of which $2 million remains in escrow for one year
      to cover claims, if any. As a part of this transaction, the Company
      recorded approximately $14.3 million of goodwill and other intangible
      assets and approximately $3.3 million in long-term deferred tax liability.
      The goodwill and other intangible assets will be amortized over a 10-year
      period. Pro forma information has not been presented due to immateriality.

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

When used in this report and elsewhere by management from time to time, the
words "believes," "anticipates" and "expects" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain important factors could
cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
the Company's forward-looking statements. These factors are detailed in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997
and include, but are not limited to, uncertain acceptance of the Company's new
products, risks associated with new markets and longer sales cycles,
fluctuations in quarterly performance, competitive products and pricing in a
rapidly changing market place, dependence on a single product line, dependence
on host computing, dependence on Microsoft Windows, risks associated with
technological change, increasing reliance on resellers and distributors,
increasing reliance on the Internet, uncertainties regarding international
operations, dependence on key personnel, ability to attract and retain qualified
staff, ability to manage growth and risks associated with intellectual property
and proprietary rights. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to the
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect subsequent events or
circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues decreased 14% in the first quarter of 1998 to $31.9 million from
$37.0 million in the first quarter of 1997. Licenses of RUMBA(R) Mainframe,
RUMBA OFFICE, and revenues from ONESTEP(R) customer support contracts accounted
for most of the net revenues in the first quarter of 1998. A license to one
customer accounted for approximately 22% of the net revenues in the first
quarter of 1997. Most of the decrease in net revenues in the first quarter
compared to the first quarter of 1997 resulted from decreased sales of RUMBA for
the Mainframe and RUMBA OFFICE. The decrease was partially offset by increases
in revenues from ONESTEP customer support contracts. Revenue outside North
America represented 35% of net revenues in the first quarter of 1998 compared to
23% of net revenues in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease in North America
revenues as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a license to one
customer in the first quarter of 1997. Revenue outside North America increased
as a percentage of net revenues in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the
first quarter of 1997 at a higher growth rate in Europe than in North America.
Foreign currency exchange rate changes did not have a significant effect on net
revenues in the first quarter. Revenue from indirect and OEM distribution 
channels equaled 58% of net revenues in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 
59% of net revenues in the first quarter of 1997.

Cost of revenues related to revenues derived from license fees decreased 12% to
$4.3 million, or 17% of revenues, in the first quarter of 1998 from $4.9
million, or 15% of revenues, in the first quarter of 1997. The $0.6 million
decrease was due primarily to a decrease in software publishing costs resulting
from a decrease in net revenue. Cost of revenues related to services increased
29% to $2.4 million, or 36% of revenues, in the first quarter of 1998 from $1.8
million, or 39% of revenues, in the first quarter of 1997. The $0.5 million
increase is a result of increases in staffing levels associated with increased
service.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Product development expenses decreased 10% to $4.6 million, or 14% of net
revenues, in the first quarter of 1998, from $5.1 million, or 14% of net
revenues, in the first quarter of 1997. The $0.5 million decrease resulted
primarily from lower staffing levels.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 3% to $16.7 million, or 52% of net
revenues, in the first quarter of 1998 from $16.3 million, or 44% of net
revenues, in the first quarter of 1997. The $0.4 million increase was due
primarily to higher sales and sales management costs associated with increased
sales staffing.

General and administrative expenses increased 7% to $4.1 million, or 13% of net
revenues, in the first quarter of 1998, from $3.9 million, or 10% of net
revenues, in the first quarter of 1997. The $0.2 million increase resulted
primarily from increases in expenses for management information systems.

Other income, net of other expenses, increased 89% to $1.1 million in the first
quarter of 1998 from $0.6 million in the first quarter of 1997. The $0.5 million
increase primarily resulted from changes in the amount of foreign currency
transaction gains and losses. Foreign currency transactions resulted in net
exchange gains of approximately $246,000 in the first quarter of 1998 compared
to net exchange losses of approximately $179,000 in the first quarter of 1997.
To date, the Company has not engaged in currency hedging transactions for
accounts receivable and payable denominated in currencies other than U.S.
dollars.

The effective income tax rate was 30% in the first quarter of 1998 and 38% in
the first quarter of 1997. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate in
1998 as compared to 1997 resulted primarily from significant operating profits
earned in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

Net income equaled $634,000, or 2% of net revenues, in the first quarter of 1998
compared to $3.5 million, or 9% of net revenues, in the first quarter of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $61.0 million, or 41% of total
assets, at March 31, 1998, compared to $70.8 million, or 52% of total assets, at
December 31, 1997. The reduction on cash and cash equivalents resulted primarily
from the acquisition of First Service for $9.8 million, net of cash acquired.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $783,000 in the first quarter
of 1998 compared to $15.4 million in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease of
$14.7 million was primarily due to lower net income and related lower income
taxes payable in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of
1997, and a larger decrease in accounts receivable in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the first quarter of 1998. Net cash used in investing activities
increased to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 1998 compared to $2.0 million
in the first quarter of 1997. Most of the increase resulted from the acquisition
of First Service. Expenditures for property and equipment totaled $1.3 million
in the first quarter of 1998 compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of
1997. Expenditures for prepaid software technology and other long-term assets
totaled $1.4 million in the first quarter of 1998 compared to $1.3 million in
the first quarter of 1997. The Company will, from time to time consider the
acquisition of additional third party technology through license agreements,
acquisitions or investments in other businesses.

Stockholders' equity increased to $97.5 million at March 31, 1998, from $94.9
million at December 31, 1997. The change primarily resulted from proceeds from
the sale of stock and net income in the first quarter.

<PAGE>   10


In connection with the acquisition of SDTI in November 1997, the Company expects
that the remaining consideration of $1.0 million will be payable in November
1998.

Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents together with funds
from operations will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations over the
near term.
