ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


  YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993 AND 1994

  REVENUES
  --------

  The Company's revenues increased 9% from $41,019,000 in fiscal 1993 to
$44,765,000 in fiscal 1994.  The increase was primarily due to an 18% increase
in Customer Service revenues from $11,571,000 to $13,636,000 and the receipt of
a $1,500,000 software license fee from Toshiba Corporation.  System revenues
during 1994 consisted primarily of sales of expansion systems and upgrades to
existing customers. System revenues which were relatively unchanged as compared
to 1993 reflected an increase in sales of expansion systems and upgrades offset
by a reduction in computer systems sold to new customers. Total fiscal 1994
system and upgrade revenues increased 1.3% over fiscal 1993. During the third
quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company's VME technology was introduced. VME based
products accounted for 40% of fourth quarter total system and system upgrade
revenues, and 23% of total system and system upgrade revenues for the full
fiscal year.

  Most recently, system revenues consisted of sales of expansion systems, or
upgrades, to existing customers with increased information processing
requirements rather than system sales to new customers.  While sales of
expansion systems have provided a reliable source of revenues during periods
when sales to new customers have been particularly slow, those revenues could
decline if the Company failed to develop attractive, competitively priced
upgrade features and products for existing customers or if the Company were
unable to increase the size of its installed base.

  The Company's ability to maintain or increase its level of revenues in the
future will primarily depend on a sustained level of expansion systems or
upgrade sales, the successful introduction of new products, the ability to add
new systems and new customer accounts, and a continued technology licensing
revenue stream.

  During fiscal 1993 and 1994, 71% and 66%, respectively, of the Company's
revenues were derived from the sale of computer systems and system upgrades,
including the licensing of associated operating software.  In fiscal 1993 and
1994, 28% and 30%, respectively, were derived from service and 1% and 4%,
respectively, were derived from other revenue including rental revenues and
technology licensing fees.

  In fiscal 1993 and 1994, sales to one customer exceeded 10% of revenues.  In
fiscal 1993, Ultimate Corporation represented 14% of the Company's revenues in
the amount of $5,735,000.  In fiscal 1994, CSC Healthcare Systems, Inc.
represented 17% of the Company's revenues in the amount of $7,615,000.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
  Sales outside the United States during fiscal 1993 and 1994 were $6,272,000
and $9,701,000, representing 15% and 22% of revenues during these respective
periods.  The majority of the sales outside of the United States occurred in the
United Kingdom, Asia, and Australia.

  GROSS MARGIN
  ------------

  The Company's gross margin increased from 46% in fiscal 1993 to 59% in fiscal
1994 as a result of increases in fiscal 1994 of service margins that were 10%
higher than fiscal 1993, increases in system margins that were 13% higher than
fiscal 1993, and increased technology licensing fees.

  The increase in service margin was largely the result of an increase in
service revenues, partially associated with the retroactive billing of $230,000
maintenance charges for services performed at a cost of approximately $105,000
prior to contract execution combined with a decrease in service spending
compared with the prior year.

  Contributing to the favorable total system margin increase were significant
overhead cost reductions in manufacturing, including facility consolidations and
the sale of approximately $900,000 of inventory previously written off.
However, system margins are expected to experience a gradual decline with
increased sales volume of low-end systems, a higher percentage of new system
sales rather than upgrades, and competitive pricing pressures.

  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
  ---------------------------------

  The Company incurred research and development expenses of $11,353,000 and
$7,750,000 in fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively.  The reduction in expense of
$3,603,000 was the result of substantial reductions in personnel related
expenses and a reduction in depreciation expense resulting from the write-off of
idle assets associated with the Company's restructuring during the  second
fiscal quarter ended December 27, 1992.  Research and development expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased from 28% in fiscal 1993 to 17% in fiscal 1994.

  SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
  --------------------------------------------

  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 46% from $20,318,000 in
fiscal 1993 to $10,983,000 in fiscal 1994.  The decrease was the combined result
of personnel reductions, vacated leased facilities and reduced depreciation
charges related to written off equipment resulting from the Company's
restructuring during the second fiscal quarter ended December 27, 1992, as well
as decreases in certain expenses such as external commissions, bad debt
provisions, and audit and legal fees associated with shareholder lawsuits.  As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
from 50% in fiscal 1993 to 25% in fiscal 1994.

  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE/CREDIT
  ------------------------------

  During fiscal 1993, the Company recorded a $13,990,000 restructuring charge to
reduce the carrying value of excess assets and to accrue costs for anticipated
liabilities arising from a 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
restructuring and downsizing of the business in December 1992. As a result of
the restructuring, the Company reduced its personnel, leased facilities and
equipment utilized in the business. The impact of these reductions in fiscal
1994 was to lower the associated operating expenses by approximately
$14,500,000. During 1994, the Company recognized a $900,000 gain from the sale
of previously written-off inventory, which was not expected to be sold at the
time of the restructuring.

  By the end of fiscal 1994, substantially all of the restructuring activities
were completed and the utilization of the restructuring reserves had been
consistent with the original estimates and reflected actions planned and
implemented.  Excess reserves totaling $1,109,000 were reversed in fiscal 1994
as a result of the Company's ability, through successful negotiations with
lessors and vendors, to ultimately settle certain of its commitments for amounts
lower than its contractual obligations.  These excess reserves consisted
principally of amounts accrued for commitments for leases, software licenses and
engineering services. As of  June 30, 1994, the remaining accrued restructuring
balance amounted to $373,000 for contractual obligations.

  OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS
  ------------------------

  The Company incurred an operating profit of $8,607,000 in fiscal 1994 versus
an operating loss of $26,901,000 in fiscal 1993.  With the exception of the
fiscal 1993 restructuring charges and class action settlement, the fiscal 1994
operating profit resulted from higher gross profit, lower operating expenses,
the license fee from Toshiba of $1,500,000 and the reversal of a restructuring
reserve of $1,109,000.

  INTEREST INCOME/EXPENSE
  -------------------------

  The Company had net interest income of $229,000 in fiscal 1994 compared to net
interest expense of $211,000 in fiscal 1993.  This change was the combined
result of higher cash balances and the paydown of  bank debt and reduction of
capital lease obligations in fiscal 1994.

  INCOME TAXES
  ------------

  The Company booked a provision for income taxes in the amount of $308,000 in
fiscal 1994.  This amount reflects alternative minimum tax requirements and
foreign withholding taxes.  There was no state or federal income tax liability
in fiscal 1993. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.



  YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1992 AND 1993

  REVENUES
  --------

  The Company's revenues decreased 34% from $62,588,000 in fiscal 1992 to
$41,019,000 in fiscal 1993. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the
number of computer systems and system upgrades sold, as well as to a decline in
other revenues, primarily technology 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
licensing fees earned. Certain customers canceled orders during fiscal 1993 as a
result of the Company's financial difficulties. Product revenues during fiscal
1993 consisted primarily of sales of system upgrades to existing customers.
Revenues from customer service increased 15% from $10,019,000 to $11,571,000 as
a result of the servicing requirements of a larger customer base.

  During fiscal 1992 and 1993, 76% and 71%, respectively, of the Company's
revenues were derived from the sale of computer systems and system upgrades,
including the licensing of associated operating software. In fiscal 1992 and
1993, 16% and 28% of revenues, respectively, were derived from service and 8%
and 1%, respectively, were derived from other revenue consisting of customer
training fees and technology licensing fees.

  In fiscal 1992 and 1993, sales to one customer, Ultimate Corp., exceeded 10%
of revenues and were $12,020,000 and $5,735,000, respectively, representing 19%
and 14% of revenues in these respective years.

  Sales outside the United States during fiscal 1992 and 1993 were $15,866,000
and $6,272,000, respectively, representing 25% and 15% of revenues during these
periods. A majority of the sales outside of the United States occurred in the
United Kingdom, Asia and Canada. Due to the Company's restructuring in fiscal
1993, two sales offices were closed outside the United States in countries where
the Company believed less potential business existed.

  GROSS MARGIN
  ------------

  The Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased to 46% in
fiscal 1993 from 58% in fiscal 1992. This decrease in gross profit percentage
was caused by the decrease in technology license fees included in other
revenues, an increase in service and training revenues which had lower gross
margins than product sales, and substantial excess fixed manufacturing costs.
The Company's gross margin was also impacted unfavorably by an increase in the
average discount level offered to customers, partially offset by the favorable
margin impact of the change in product mix from systems to system upgrades,
which generally have better margins.

  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
  ---------------------------------

  The Company incurred research and development expenses of $13,637,000 and
$11,353,000 in fiscal years 1992 and 1993, respectively. The decrease was
primarily due to a substantial reduction in personnel, equipment and engineering
services resulting from the Company's downsizing as part of the restructuring
during the  second fiscal quarter ended December 27, 1992 resulting in lower
research and development spending levels throughout the Company's third and
fourth quarters. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues
increased to 28% in fiscal 1993 from 22% of revenues in fiscal 1992, due to the
reductions in revenues.

  SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
  --------------------------------------------

  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 24% to $20,318,000 in
fiscal 1993 from $26,670,000 in fiscal 1992. The decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in personnel and 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
related expenses, vacated lease facilities and depreciation charges related to
written off equipment, offset by increases in legal and audit fees relating to
the Company's prior year restatements and defense of shareholder lawsuits, and
severance provisions resulting from the Company's downsizing as part of the
restructuring during the second fiscal quarter ended December 27, 1992. As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
from 42% in fiscal 1992 to 50% of revenues in fiscal 1993, primarily due to the
substantial decrease in sales during fiscal 1993.

  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
  --------------------

  During the second quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company was experiencing
liquidity issues resulting from sales being substantially below expectations,
accounts receivable with extended or delayed payment expectations, an excess
investment in inventory and the Company's default under its line of credit with
The First National Bank of Boston.  Additionally, the Company was experiencing a
reluctance by customers to purchase products partially due to adverse publicity
relating to revenue restatements.  In response to these circumstances, the
Company decided on a course of action that would maximize its available cash
resources by (i) focusing on existing customers and its highest potential
revenue-generating products and (ii) selectively investing resources in the
development of certain new products and upgrades. This decision resulted in a
reduction in its workforce from approximately 300 to 165, the closing of 14 of
its 20 sales offices worldwide, and the discontinuance of certain research and
development projects and most of its investments in technology platforms upon
which the Company had planned to offer its products.

  As a direct result of management's plans to refocus its product strategy and
reduce its sales infrastructure, the Company determined that it would not
realize any return on a substantial portion of its existing inventory and
therefore wrote-off  $4,022,000 of its inventory.

  These actions also resulted in the write-off of idle property and equipment of
$3,077,000 which, as a direct result of the workforce reductions, office
closings and discontinued product lines and development efforts, no longer had
alternative future uses.   The write-off consisted primarily of assets
previously used in the engineering and sales functions.

  In addition, as a direct result of the Company's decision to discontinue
certain product lines and development efforts, the Company wrote-off other
assets of $2,600,000 consisting of the carrying value of software licenses which
would not be used in any future products.  Also, as a result of the office
closings, the Company wrote off $643,000 of lease deposits which were forfeited
upon cancellation of the leases.

  The Company also recognized other costs as a result of these actions, the most
material of which included $2,494,000 related to lease cancellation payments,
$800,000 of commitment under contractual obligations and employee termination
costs of $350,000.

  As of June 30, 1993, the Company had taken a number of actions consistent with
the restructuring plan established in December, 1992. During the fiscal year,
the Company had utilized approximately $2,000,000 of the $3,649,000 accrual for
commitments primarily for payment due to lease cancellation obligations.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
  As a result of its restructuring, the Company reduced certain costs including
payroll and payroll related costs, lease expenses, depreciation and amortization
of equipment and software.  The reductions in these costs were realized in the
second half of fiscal 1993 and were approximately $7,000,000.  The Company
expected that it would continue to experience reduced levels of such expenses
during 1994 and until the Company was able to regain customer confidence  within
its markets.  The Company's intent was to reduce operating expenses consistent
with the lower expected revenue levels.


  OPERATING LOSS
  --------------

  The Company incurred operating losses of $3,871,000 and $26,901,000 in fiscal
years 1992 and 1993, respectively. The increase in the operating loss was the
result of a $13,990,000 restructuring charge booked during fiscal 1993, the
Company's inability to achieve planned sales levels during the first half of
fiscal 1993, and operating expense increases during the fourth quarter of fiscal
1992 and first quarter of fiscal 1993.

  INTEREST INCOME/EXPENSE
  -------------------------

  The Company had net interest income of $269,000 in fiscal 1992 compared to net
interest expense of $211,000 in fiscal 1993. The decrease in net interest income
was primarily the result of decreases in investment income due to lower cash and
short-term investment balances during the year, and, to a lesser extent, lower
yields on such investments and increases in interest expenses from capitalized
leases.

  INCOME TAXES
  ------------

  The Company had no state or federal income tax liability for fiscal 1992 and
1993, but made a provision for foreign tax of $337,500 in fiscal 1992. See Note
4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

  INFLATION

  The Company believes inflation has not had a material effect on its results of
operations to date.

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  In fiscal 1994, the Company funded its operations through positive cash flow
from operations. In fiscal 1993, the Company experienced a liquidity crisis due
to operating losses, an excessive investment in inventory, an increased accounts
receivable balance, and lack of credit availability under the Company's then
existing line of credit.

  At June 30, 1994, the Company had cash and working capital of $20,741,000 and
$20,988,000, compared to cash, restricted cash, and working capital of
$10,639,000, $3,989,000, 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
and $8,189,000, respectively, at June 30, 1993. The Company had no restricted
cash at June 30, 1994. The increase in cash was primarily due to the Company's
cash generated from operations in fiscal 1994 aided by a reduction in
inventories. Payments relating to the settlement of the class action lawsuit and
the payoff of the bank debt in fiscal 1994 resulted in the subsequent release of
cash collateral. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the
increase in cash and accounts receivable, and the issuance of preferred stock,
previously included in accrued expenses, in connection with the settlement of
the class action lawsuit. The increase in cash generated from operations in
fiscal 1994 over fiscal 1993 was largely due to reductions in certain expenses
resulting from actions taken in fiscal 1993 to restructure operations. In
particular, cash payments for payroll and payroll related costs and lease
obligations were approximately $7,300,000 lower in fiscal 1994 reflecting
reductions from the restructuring actions offset by certain staff additions in
1994.

  At June 30, 1993, the Company's expected cash requirements to settle its
remaining restructuring obligations was approximately $1,600,000.  During fiscal
1994, the Company had settled through cash payment or negotiations,
substantially all of these obligations and, as a result of its ability to
successfully negotiate amounts less than contractually due, reversed $1,109,000
of amounts accrued.  Cash payments in fiscal 1994 related primarily to the
settlement of software license and development agreements.  The Company believes
that the settlement of its remaining obligations will not materially impact
future liquidity.

  At June 30, 1994, the Company's net accounts receivable totaled $5,453,000
compared to $4,150,000 at June 30, 1993.  The Company's days sales outstanding
at June 30, 1994 was 38 days, an increase from 34 days at June 30, 1993.

  The Company generally ships systems within 30 days after receipt of specific
purchase orders from customers.  In order to do so, the Company typically
produces and maintains an inventory of subsystems in standard configurations. As
a result, the Company generally maintains a high inventory balance. Inventories
have declined to $3,431,000 at June 30, 1994 from $4,875,000 at June 30, 1993
due to the utilization of existing inventories on hand and the controlled
procurement of new inventory.  The Company expects to be able to continue to
manage its inventory at current levels throughout fiscal 1995.

  Capital expenditures totaled $1,435,000 for fiscal 1994, and were comprised
primarily of computer equipment.  This was in contrast to fiscal 1993 capital
expenditures of $1,721,000, also primarily computer equipment.  The Company
expects to increase capital expenditures in fiscal 1995 as it plans for greater
investment in research and development and internal computer systems.

  On March 25, 1993, the Bank of Boston and the Company entered into a waiver
and extension agreement relating to the revolving credit facility and the
capital lease credit facility requiring monthly payments of principal and
interest, and final payment upon maturation of the facility on November 1, 1993.
The remaining obligations under the capital lease credit facility and revolving
credit facility were repaid on October 29, 1993 and November 1, 1993,
respectively, and all security interests were released by the bank.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
  On March 22, 1994, the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company entered
into a credit agreement which provides for maximum borrowings of $10,000,000.
Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at the rate of prime to prime plus
1%, dependent on certain ratios.  The Company is required to meet specific
covenants throughout the duration of this agreement.  The agreement expires on
May 31, 1995.  Available borrowings under this agreement are subject to a
borrowing base formula.  At June 30, 1994, no amounts were outstanding under
this agreement and the Company had $3,060,000 available under the borrowing base
formula. See Note 5 of  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

  The Company believes that its present cash, working capital levels, and
borrowing capacity are adequate for its operating needs through fiscal 1995.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sequoia Systems, Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sequoia Systems,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1993 and 1994 and the related statements of
operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the two years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  The consolidated financial statements of Sequoia Systems, Inc.
for the year ended June 30, 1992 were audited by other independent accountants
whose report dated August 19, 1992 (except with respect to the matters discussed
in Notes 1, 5 and 7, as to which the dates are December 9, 1992, March 25, 1993
and September 10, 1993, respectively) included an unqualified opinion on those
statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sequoia Systems,
Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 1993 and 1994, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Sequoia Systems, Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, cash
flows and stockholders' equity of Sequoia Systems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation)
and subsidiaries for the year ended June 30, 1992, as restated (see Note 1(A)).
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.   An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations, cash flows and
stockholders' equity of Sequoia Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year
ended June 30, 1992, as restated, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule
listed in the index to the consolidated financial statements are presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  These
schedules for 1992 have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 1      Organization
- ------                  
Sequoia Systems, Inc. (the Company) designs, manufactures and markets high-
performance, fault-tolerant computer systems and provides ongoing user and
maintenance support to its customers.

       A.   Restatement
In fiscal 1992, information that had not previously been available to the
Company's Board of Directors or its auditors, became available and resulted in
restatement of the Company's financial statements.  Therefore, certain amounts
related to the Company's fiscal 1992 financial results are included in these
statements as restated.

       B.   Restructuring Charge/Credit
The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $13,990,000 in fiscal 1992 as the
result of lower revenues and a downsizing of the operations based on anticipated
future revenue levels. The restructuring charge included: $4,022,000 for
provisions to reduce the carrying value of excess inventory, $3,077,000 for
provisions to write off idle equipment and improvements, and $3,242,000 for
provisions to reduce the carrying value of other current and long-term assets to
their estimated net realizable values. The restructuring charge also included
$2,494,000 of provisions for lease obligations for abandoned facilities, and
$1,155,000 for other contractual obligations and provisions.  During fiscal
1994, the Company settled the lease, contractual, and other obligations, and
determined that, as of June 30, 1994, $1,109,000 of restructuring charges was in
excess of the business' requirements and recorded a restructuring credit.
Additionally, the Company realized a benefit in cost of revenues of $900,000 in
fiscal 1994 as a result of the sale of inventory which had been written-off as
part of the restructuring.

Note 2      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ------                                                
The consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain
accounting policies described in this and other notes to consolidated financial
statements.

       A.   Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Sequoia Systems (U.K.) Limited,
Sequoia Systems Europe B.V., and Sequoia Systems, Japan). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

       B.   Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market. Cash
equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90
days or less.

       C.   Restricted Cash

At June 30, 1993, the Company had $3,989,249 of cash that was restricted and
served as collateral for both the amounts that were outstanding to the Bank of
Boston for a note payable and equipment

leases ($2,989,249) and as the Company's obligation under the settlement of the
class action lawsuit ($1,000,000). Payments relating to the settlement of the
class action lawsuit and the bank debt resulted in the subsequent release of
cash collateral in fiscal 1994. (See Notes 5 and 7)

       D.   Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
which requires the periodic assessment of net realizable value. The difference
of cost and market is charged to income in the period the impairment is
determined. Inventory including materials, labor and manufacturing overhead
consists of the following:

</TABLE>

       E.   Depreciation and Amortization

The Company provides for depreciation and amortization by charges to operations
in amounts estimated to allocate the cost of equipment and leasehold
improvements over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.
Computer equipment, machinery and equipment, equipment under capital lease and
furniture and fixtures are being depreciated over three to five years, and
leasehold improvements are being amortized over the term of the associated
leases.

The cost of improvements is charged to the property accounts, while maintenance
and repairs are charged to income as incurred. The Company periodically
evaluates its fixed assets to determine whether assets are impaired or continue
to be utilized.   Upon determination of an impairment, retirement or other
disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related depreciation are
removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the
results of operations.


       F.   Software License Fees and Royalties

The Company has entered into license and royalty agreements for software to be
incorporated into certain computer systems held for resale. The initial fees
under such software license arrangements are capitalized in other assets and
amortized over the lesser of the term of the license agreement or on a straight-
line basis over three to five years. Royalty payments are expensed upon the sale
of computer systems that incorporate the licensed software.

       G.   Revenue Recognition

Revenues from product sales are recognized upon shipment unless significant
uncertainties exist. Revenues from software licenses are recognized upon
commencement of the software license. Service

Sequoia Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries


revenues include maintenance and professional services; other revenues include
rental revenue and technology license fees. Service revenues related to
maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the period in which the
service is provided. All other service revenues are recognized as earned.

The Company entered into a development, manufacturing and distribution agreement
with Toshiba Corporation in December 1991, and amended such agreement in April
1994. Technology license fees are due the Company in several increments under
this agreement as milestones are reached. The technology license fees that have
been earned are included in other revenue for the years ended June 30, 1992 and
1994.  No technology license fees were earned in fiscal 1993.

       H.   Research and Development
Costs relating to research and development are expensed as incurred.

       I.   Net Income (Loss) per Share
Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are not separately stated as they
are substantially the same.  Net loss per share for the years ended June 30,
1992 and 1993 was based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year as common share equivalents are anti-dilutive. For
the year ended June 30, 1994, net income per share was based on the weighted
average number of common and common share equivalents outstanding during the
year, computed in accordance with the treasury stock method.

       J.   Foreign Currency Translation
For the Company's foreign subsidiaries, the U.S. dollar has been determined to
be the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at
rates of exchange in effect at the end of the fiscal year, while non-monetary
items are translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated at
average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. The resulting gains or
losses are reflected in results of operations.

       K.   Postretirement Benefits
The Company sponsors a defined contribution employee savings and retirement plan
(the Plan), which covers all employees. The Plan is a contributory plan for
which contributions by the Company are made at the discretion of management.
Employees may contribute up to 20% of their annual compensation. The Company
made contributions of $99,720 in fiscal 1992 and $109,755 in fiscal 1994.  No
contributions were made in fiscal 1993.

       L.   Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables.  The Company's
cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions and
government securities.  The Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any
one institution.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due
to the varied customer base, comprised principally of distributors and
resellers, dispersed across various industries and

geographic locations. The Company generally does not require collateral;
however, in certain circumstances the Company may require letters of credit from
its customers. The Company may require deposits to be paid with an order.


       M.   Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.


       N.   Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the
liability method specified by SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax asset or liability is
determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax
basis of assets and liabilities as measured using the enacted tax rates which
will be in effect when these differences reverse.


       O.     Warranty Obligations
The Company generally provides the end-users of its systems with a 90-day
warranty from the date of installation.  Estimated warranty obligations are
evaluated and provided at the time of sale.


Note 3      Accounts Receivable, Long-term
- ------                                      
In fiscal 1992, the Company granted extended credit terms related to the sale of
certain systems. Under these arrangements, the Company receives payment for the
systems over a specified period of up to three years, with interest of
approximately the prime rate plus 1%. Additionally, during fiscal 1993, a
customer entered into a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy code under which it paid the Company $600,000 in fiscal 1994, and the
remaining $50,000 is due the Company in fiscal 1995.

Note 4      Income Taxes
- ------                  
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Under this statement,
deferred tax assets, net of any valuation allowance, and deferred tax
liabilities resulting from temporary differences are determined, based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when
these differences reverse. The principal differences between assets and
liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are primarily a
result of inventory and accounts receivable reserves not currently deductible.

The impact of the accounting change is not material.  Prior years' financial
statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 109.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the Act), enacted in October 1986, limits the amount
of net operating loss carryforwards that companies may utilize in any one year
in the event of cumulative changes in ownership in excess of 50%, as defined in
the Act, which has limited the Company's ability to utilize in any one year the
net operating loss carryforwards incurred prior to this change in ownership
occurring upon the Company's initial public offering. The Company estimates that
the total net operating loss carryforward subject to this limitation is
approximately $27,000,000. The utilization of the available net operating loss
carryforwards and general business credit carryforwards generated prior to the
ownership change is limited to approximately $2,700,000 in each year subsequent
to this change in ownership until fiscal 2002, at which time the unused net
operating loss carryforwards will expire. These carryforwards are subject to
review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company's
net operating loss and general business credit carryforwards at June 30, 1994
were approximately $48,500,000 ($21,500,000 unrestricted) and $2,800,000,
respectively.

On March 22, 1994, the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company entered
into a credit agreement which provides for maximum borrowings of $10,000,000.
Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at the rate of prime to prime plus
1%, dependent on certain ratios.  The Company is required to meet specific
covenants throughout the duration of this agreement, the most restrictive of
which is that the Company shall not have a net loss (i) of greater than $750,000
for any fiscal quarter or (ii) in any two consecutive quarters.  The agreement
expires on May 31, 1995.  Available borrowings under this agreement are subject
to a borrowing base formula predicated on qualified receivables as defined and
are collateralized by all assets of the Company.  At June 30, 1994, no amounts
were outstanding under this agreement and the Company had $3,060,000 available
under the borrowing base formula.

On June 17, 1994 State Street Bank and Trust Company consented to the Company's

       B.   Legal Proceedings

  Three lawsuits were filed against the Company in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts in 1992 and were later consolidated into
a single class action.  The plaintiffs purported to represent a class of persons
who purchased the common stock of the Company between July 29, 1991 and December
11, 1992 and alleged that the Company violated (S)10 (b) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 and committed common law fraud by materially overstating
its revenue and income for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1991,
thereafter failing to disclose the alleged need to restate the Company's revenue
and income for that fiscal quarter and by agreeing with certain revenue and
earnings projections for the Company made by financial analysts.   On July 30,
1993, the Company entered into a settlement by which all claims asserted by the
plaintiffs against the Company, Arthur Andersen & Co., the Company's former
auditors, and former executives of the Company were settled.  The global
settlement provided for a cash payment totaling $3,125,000, of which $1,075,000
was paid by the Company and $2,050,000 was paid by the Company's insurance
carrier and the other defendants in the class action litigation.  In addition,
the Company issued to the plaintiffs $2,875,000 in face amount of a new class of
preferred stock, bearing dividends at a rate of 7% per year, payable annually,
and convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to 110% of the
average trading price of the Company's common stock during a specified period
prior to the effective date.   The preferred stock was automatically converted
to common stock according to its terms on March 15, 1994 on which date the
closing price of the Company's common stock was $6.0625 per share.  The
agreement was approved by the District Court on September 10, 1993.

       On May 8, 1992, the Securities and Exchange Commission ( the Commission)
notified the Company that the Commission staff had begun an informal
investigation with respect to the Company's revenue recognition policies.  On
September 28, 1992, after receiving certain documentation and information
requested from the Company, the Commission notified the Company that the
Commission had entered a formal order of investigation with respect to these
matters. The Company and the Staff of the Commission have reached a preliminary
settlement pursuant to which the Company will make no monetary payment.  The
preliminary settlement is subject to the approval of the Commission.
