                                MICROGRAFX, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Micrografx,
Inc., and subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1998, and for the three
and six-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited but reflect
all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations for the periods presented. The accompanying financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1998, included in the
1998 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the period
ended December 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the year ending June 30, 1999.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from products licensed to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) is
recorded when OEMs ship licensed products while revenue from multi-user licenses
is recorded when the software has been delivered. Revenue from packaged product
sales to distributors and resellers is recorded when related products are
shipped. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the
contract period. In connection with the sale of certain products, the Company
provides free telephone support service to customers. The Company does not defer
the recognition of any revenue associated with sales of these products, since
the cost of providing this free support is insignificant, the support is
provided within one year after the associated revenue is recognized (the vast
majority of the support actually occurs within three months) and enhancements
are minimal and infrequent. The estimated cost of providing this free support is
accrued upon product shipment. Provisions are recorded for returns and bad debts
based on historical experience.

INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

                              DECEMBER 31, 1998             JUNE 30, 1998
                           ----------------------      ----------------------

   Raw materials            $       394                  $     720
   Finished goods                   208                        260
                           ----------------------      ----------------------
                            $       602                  $     980
                           ======================      ======================

FOREIGN FORWARD CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
to hedge existing or projected exposure to changing foreign exchange rates. This
exposure results from the Company's foreign operations in countries including
Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Japan that are
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These forward contracts
are not held for trading purposes. At December 31, 1998, the Company had forward
contracts outstanding to sell 1.2 million German marks for approximately
$700,000. The difference between the carrying amount and current market
settlement value of the forward contracts was not significant.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and presentation of
comprehensive income and its components. The Company's comprehensive income is
comprised of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Comprehensive income is $836,000 and $454,000, respectively, for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997. Comprehensive income is
$1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 compared to a
comprehensive loss of $116,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997.

In accordance with FAS 128, options to purchase 379,423 and 300,291 shares of

they were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended December 31, 1998,
respectively. Options to purchase 881,750 and 921,750 shares of Common Stock
were excluded from the diluted income per share calculation because they were

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). Specifically, all statements other than statements of
historical facts included in this report regarding the Company's financial
position, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management of the
Company for future operations are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's management,
as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the
Company's management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," and "intend," and words or phrases of similar
import, as they relate to the Company or Company management, are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements (the "cautionary
statements") reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future
events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions related to
various factors including, without limitation, changes in the product release
schedule, acceptance or the lack thereof of the Company's iGrafx(TM) products to
be released in the second half of the Company's fiscal year, growth or the lack
thereof in the enterprise solutions business of the Company, changes in
distribution channels, changes in the market, new products and announcements
from other companies, changes in technology, and competition from larger, more
established competitors. Although the Company believes that expectations are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. Based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as
anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, or intended. All subsequent written
and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons
acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable
cautionary statements.

GENERAL
Micrografx, Inc. ("Micrografx" or the "Company"), was founded in 1982 and
incorporated in 1984 in the State of Texas. The Company develops and markets
graphics software that serves to make complex problems simple by making graphics
intelligent, so people can gain insight and visualize solutions. The Company is
focusing on graphics applications software products for business use in three
target categories: process management, corporate graphics, and network design
applications, which are capable of managing all the graphic imagery for the
world's largest corporations. Additionally, the Company seeks to leverage its
strong technology base by partnering with organizations to maximize the
distribution and value of its intellectual property.

Historically, in addition to its business graphics software, the Company
developed and marketed products for the personal creativity consumer market.
Micrografx has been one of the premier companies competing in this market with
such popular titles as Crayola(TM) Art Studio(TM), Hallmark Connections(TM) Card
Studio(TM), American Greetings(R) CreataCard(R) Plus(TM) and CreataCard(R)
Gold(TM), and Windows Draw(R). In light of recent consolidation in the consumer
software market and extremely aggressive retail programs from competitors, the
Company has chosen to shift its resources to the more rapidly growing enterprise
graphics market.

As a result of, and in line with its objective to leverage its strong technology
base, the Company formed a strategic relationship with Cendant Software
Corporation ("Cendant") effective June 30, 1998, whereby Micrografx licensed
Cendant a series of core personal creativity graphics technologies, information
relating to the customers who have purchased products based on the



                                       9
<PAGE>

aforementioned technologies, marketing information related to those products,
and certain associated intellectual property rights. Additionally, Micrografx
entered into a combination of worldwide publishing and distribution agreements
with Cendant for two personal creativity software titles, Windows Draw(R)Print
Studio(R) and Micrografx SnapShot(TM). The agreements with Cendant allow the
Company to make significant progress in de-emphasizing the consumer software
market.

Effective August 31, 1998, Micrografx entered into an agreement that assigned
the Company's distribution rights to American Greetings CreataCard Gold and
CreataCard Plus to The Learning Company ("TLC"). This assignment of rights to
TLC concludes all contractual responsibilities and settles all contractual
issues between Micrografx and American Greetings Corporation ("American
Greetings"). With this assignment, the Company has completed its de-emphasis of
the consumer marketplace in order to focus on its business graphics software.

In January 1999, the Company announced its iGrafx(TM) System(R) of business
graphics products. The iGrafx System is intended to meet the needs of all levels
of users, from the person who occasionally views pictures, diagrams or drawings
to the high-end professional who spends the entire day creating business
graphics. The base level of functionality consists of iGrafx Business and iGrafx
Share. Both products are included throughout the entire iGrafx System. iGrafx
Share allows users to view and use existing business graphics in Microsoft
Office applications. iGrafx Business allows the user to create, edit, or view
business graphics, and contains powerful drawing, image-editing, and 3D graphics
features. iGrafx Business and iGrafx Share are intended for deployment on all
computers within an organization and English versions are currently available.
iGrafx Designer(R), an extension of the Company's Designer(R) product, was also
announced and is expected to ship in the second half of fiscal 1999. The Company
also announced three new products in the process management category, iGrafx
Professional, iGrafx Process and iGrafx EnterpriseCharter. English versions of
the products are expected to begin shipping during the Company's third fiscal
quarter of 1999. iGrafx Professional is an extension of the FlowCharter(R)
product, iGrafx Process is an extension of the Optima(R) simulation tool, and
iGrafx EnterpriseCharter is an extension of the existing EnterpriseCharter(TM)
product. The Company expects to release iGrafx Network and iGrafx Network Pro in
the second half of fiscal 1999.

The following table sets forth net revenues by product category (in thousands)
and the percentage relationship to total net revenues. The technology category
results from the Company's use of its library of graphics software in selective
licensing. For fiscal 1999, the technology category consists of licensing of
certain personal creativity software source code to Cendant and TLC.

PROCESS MANAGEMENT
FlowCharter and Optima revenues were relatively unchanged compared to the prior
year. EnterpriseCharter and ISOCharter, each released in the second half of
fiscal 1998, contributed slightly to the category for fiscal 1999.

NETWORK DESIGN
In late September 1998, the Company released its first offerings in this
category, NetworkCharter and NetworkCharter Pro. The NetworkCharter products are
developed in conjunction with another company, ImageNet, Inc. ("ImageNet"). On
November 4, 1998, the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts,
denied a preliminary injunction motion citing copyright infringement filed by
NetSuite Development Corporation ("NetSuite") against ImageNet. The District
Courts ruling removed any current restrictions on the Company's ability to
continue selling the products. However, the future outcome and effect of any
litigation against ImageNet is unknown at this time. Micrografx was not named in
any action against ImageNet. Ultimately, a judgement in NetSuite's favor could
negatively impact the ability of Micrografx to sell products developed with
ImageNet.

CORPORATE GRAPHICS
Consistent with approaching the end of some of the Company's corporate graphics
products' lifecycle, revenues declined for both the three-month and six-month
periods of fiscal 1999 versus the year ago periods. In anticipation of this
decline, as described above, the Company announced the iGrafx System of
products, with the products shipping at various times throughout the second half
of fiscal 1999. Compounding this natural decline of corporate graphics sales is
the decline of the retail sector of the Japanese economy, resulting in less
revenue from Graphics Suite, a traditional strong seller in Japanese retail
software stores. Windows Draw revenue declined $2.3 million and $2.6 million for
the three and six months ended December 31, 1998, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 1997 as a result of the Company's assignment of its rights to
the product to Cendant as previously described. Revenues are also impacted by
the Company's diminished retail presence with the assignment of its rights to
its personal creativity products.

PERSONAL CREATIVITY
The decline in this category resulted from the Company's assignment of its
rights to these products to Cendant and TLC. Future revenues will be
insignificant and consist of revenues from multiple pre-existing original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreements, most of which expire in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999.

TECHNOLOGY
The technology category contains the revenue recognized related to the
previously discussed Cendant and TLC relationships. The Company expects to
recognize total revenue of approximately $21 million from the relationships of
which $3.0 million was recognized in fiscal 1998, $6.7 million was recognized in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999, $6.3 million was recognized in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 and the remainder is anticipated to be recognized over
the two remaining quarters of fiscal 1999. Revenue recognition is based on
contractual obligations and risks assumed, with a higher proportion of the
revenue recognized in the first and second quarters of fiscal 1999, rather than
in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. The impact on net income varies each
quarter depending on the costs to the Company of those obligations and risks.
Although the Company continues to seek other opportunities to license its
intellectual property, its success in doing so, as well as the timing and
magnitude of revenues resulting from new licensing relationships, is uncertain.

Net revenues by geographical region (in thousands) for the three and six months
ended December 31, 1998, and 1997 were as follows:

The revenue increase in the Americas resulted from the agreements with Cendant
and TLC partially offset by the decline in personal creativity, most of which is
U.S. based. Lower revenues in Europe resulted from declining shipments of the
current Graphics Suite version and a reduced retail presence due to the
licensing of Windows Draw to Cendant. The Asia Pacific decline resulted from the
continued weakness in the retail sector of the Japanese economy.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1998, were $3.4
million, or 20 percent of net revenues, compared to $5.5 million, or 28 percent
of net revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in
cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1998, was primarily
attributable to revenues from technology licensing, which carry minimal costs.
Additionally, with the decline in personal creativity revenues and the focus on
selling to corporate customers, the Company is generating a higher percentage of
revenue from multi-user licenses versus boxed product sales. Boxed product
carries significant costs including box design and creation, manuals, media
guides, and CDs, compared to only minor costs associated with multi-user
licenses. Royalties also decline as personal creativity revenues decline.

The Company's operating results are affected by changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. These variations result from the change in exchange rates of
European currencies and the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. Because
European manufacturing costs and European and Japanese operating expenses are
also incurred in those local currencies, the impact of exchange rates on net
income is mitigated. The impact of year-over-year changes in exchange rates on
revenue and net income was not significant.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1998, were
$9.0 million, or 53 percent of net revenues, compared to $9.9 million, or 51
percent of net revenues for the same period in the previous year. The absolute
dollar decrease in sales and marketing expense was attributable to the Company's
change in business structure, as lower costs are associated with enterprise
sales versus retail sales that were targeted in the prior year. In addition, due
to the decline of the retail sector of the Japanese economy, the Company has
curbed it sales and marketing spending in Japan. Total sales and marketing
expenses as a percent of revenue increased due to the significant spending in
the second quarter related to the launch of the iGrafx family of products. The
Company expects these expenses to decline in absolute dollars through the end of
the fiscal year.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1998, were $1.8 million, or 10 percent of net revenues, compared to $1.6
million, or 8 percent of net revenues, for the three months ended December 31,
1997. The increase is principally a result of compensation and hiring expenses
for new employees and executives. The Company expects general and administrative
costs to remain at approximately the current level for the near term.

Net research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1998, were $2.1 million, or 12 percent of net revenues, compared to $1.8
million, or 9 percent of net revenues, for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
The increase is a result of compensation and hiring expenses for new employees,
offset by capitalizing more software development costs. Gross research and
development expenses, before capitalization, for the three months ended December
31, 1998, were $3.3 million, or 19 percent of net revenues, compared to $2.9
million, or 15 percent of net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
The Company expects research and development expenses to remain at approximately
the current level for the near term.

During the three months ended December 31, 1998, the Company capitalized
approximately $1.3 million in software development costs and amortized
approximately $1.5 million in software development costs. This compares to
capitalization of $1.1 million and amortization of $900,000 during the three
months ended December 31, 1997.

For the three months ended December 31, 1998, interest income increased to
$264,000 compared to $146,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997. For



                                       13
<PAGE>

the three months ended December 31, 1998, exchange rates resulted in no material
gain or loss compared to a foreign currency gain of $130,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997.

The Company's effective tax rate was 35 percent for all periods presented.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of
cash and cash equivalents of $15.6 million and short-term investments of $9.6
million.

For the six months ended December 31, 1998, cash used in investing and financing
activities exceeded cash provided by operating activities, resulting in a
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $10.8 million. This decrease is
primarily a result of purchases of short-term investments. Cash flows from
operating activities generated $2.2 million in cash during the six months ended
December 31, 1998. Cash provided from operating activities included
approximately $6.9 million in net cash inflows from the Cendant and TLC
agreements. The Company expects a final payment of approximately $500,000 from
these agreements during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Of the deferred
revenue decrease, $6.3 million was due to the recognition of revenue generated
from the Cendant and TLC agreements.

The decrease in accounts receivable reserves is primarily due to the reduced
need for rebates and cooperative funds typically associated with personal
creativity products.

The Company believes that existing cash and short-term investments will be
sufficient to meet the Company's capital and operating requirements in the short
term.

EURO CONVERSION
The Company is addressing issues regarding the European Economic Monetary
Union's (EMU) single eurocurrency (the "Euro") and is currently able to transact
business using this currency. The Company intends to convert the appropriate
European ledgers to the Euro after fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, and
anticipates no material costs associated with this conversion.

YEAR 2000 COSTS
The Company is aware of and is addressing a broad range of issues associated
with the programming code in existing computer systems as the Year 2000
approaches. The Year 2000 issue is complex, as many computer systems will be
affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year value to 00. Systems
that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or
cause a system to fail. The Year 2000 issue creates risk for the Company from
unforeseen problems in its own infrastructure and systems, its own products and
from third parties with which the Company deals on financial and other
transactions worldwide. Failures of the Company's and/or third parties' computer
systems could have a material impact on the Company's ability to conduct its
business.

The Company began an infrastructure and systems review of Year 2000 readiness
for the United States Operations in May of 1998, with the objectives of:

- -Inventorying all computer, network and telephony-related hardware and software;
- -Assessing, through both research and testing, whether or not the equipment and
 software are Y2K compliant; 
- -Developing plans for upgrading hardware and software to Year 2000 compliant 
 status, decommissioning non-compliant hardware that cannot be upgraded to a 
 compliant state, and replacing software that cannot be upgraded to Year 2000 
 compliance.

As of February 1, 1999 all mission critical systems and applications in the data
center have been reviewed and plans for upgrade, decommissioning or replacement
have been developed for systems and applications that are not Year 2000
compliant. Software upgrades and replacement are scheduled to be completed by
June 30, 1999.


                                       14
<PAGE>

Workstations, desktop and laptop computers used in the development of the
Company's products and in conducting the Company's business are largely newer
machines that are reported by their manufacturers to be Year 2000 compliant. A
small number of machines have been identified which, due to age or obsolescence,
cannot be brought into compliance. The Company plans to decommission and/or
replace these machines during the year.

The principal software running on the Company's computers is licensed under
corporate maintenance agreements with major vendors that have reported either
that their software is currently Year 2000 compliant or that Year 2000 compliant
upgrades will be available during calendar year 1999. It is the Company's intent
to apply and verify such upgrades as they become available.

Non-compliant hardware is scheduled to be upgraded, decommissioned, or replaced
before, or concurrent with, the Company's move to its new headquarters in
September of 1999.

The inventory, review, upgrade, replacement and decommissioning plans described
herein refer specifically to mission critical corporate standard technology and
components. Special purpose hardware, such as may be found in some areas of
Development and Quality Assurance, and personal productivity tools that are not
covered by corporate standards, are not covered in this plan.

The Company's foreign subsidiaries and contractors access mission critical
applications through the services of the Company's wide area network. With
regard to centrally administered applications and systems software, the
Company's foreign operations are at an equal state of Year 2000 readiness with
the Company. The state of the Company's foreign operations with respect to
hardware Year 2000 readiness has not yet been assessed. These operations
represent a small percentage of the Company's hardware assets, and formal review
of their Year 2000 readiness status is scheduled to begin in March, 1999.

The principal costs incurred in addressing Year 2000 issues to date have been
managerial and administrative. All essential third-party software is on
maintenance agreements, and hardware expenses have already been accounted for in
either normal retirement/replacement plans or in the planned expenses for the
infrastructure of the new headquarters building.

A small number of internally developed applications are not currently Year 2000
compliant, and the cost of remediation will not be material to the Company's
operating results.

Each of the Company's product divisions has completed a Year 2000 assessment of
its currently offered products. While this assessment included internal testing
of the Year 2000 capabilities of these products, the Company has not had, and
has no plans to have, its products tested by an independent third party. The
Company believes that the vast majority of its currently offered products are
Year 2000 compliant, and expects virtually all of its remaining currently
offered products to become compliant by early 1999 through new releases. In any
event, the Company expects that all of its currently offered products will be
Year 2000 compliant before the end of 1999. Because Year 2000 compliance is
generally integrated into its normal product development activities, the Company
has not incurred and does not expect to incur any significant incremental
expenses in addressing this issue in its product lines. The Company believes
that a small number of its customers that receive product support from the
Company are operating product versions that may not be Year 2000 compliant or
products that the Company has replaced or intends to replace with comparable,
Year 2000 compliant products. The Company believes that the vast majorities of
such customers are migrating and will continue to migrate to compliant versions
and products through new releases, which the Company is strongly encouraging. In
addition, certain former customers may be operating non-compliant versions of
products in respect of which the Company's agreed-upon product support and
warranty periods have expired. The Company has not undertaken an assessment of
whether these former customers are taking appropriate steps to address any
related Year 2000 issues. The Company does not expect customers who purchase or
migrate to current versions of the Company's products to experience any Year
2000 failures caused by such products. In addition, the Company believes that
its licenses and other agreements contain customary and appropriate limitations
on the Company's obligations with respect to any Year 2000 failures that may be
caused by its current or former products. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company's expectations and beliefs as to these and related matters will
prove to be accurate. Moreover, the Company is aware of a growing number of
lawsuits against software vendors and other IT firms involving Year 2000 issues.
In addition, regardless of whether the Company's products are Year 2000
compliant, they operate on IT systems consisting of third-party hardware and
software, some of which may not be fully Year 2000 compliant. In light of the
foregoing factors, there can be no assurance that customers or former customers
will not bring claims or proceedings against the Company seeking compensation
for losses associated with Year 2000-related failures.




                                       15
<PAGE>

The Company has begun a Year 2000 assessment of its material third party
supplier relationships. The assessment is being conducted through formal
communications with such suppliers, testing of supplier equipment, systems or
interfaces, and a review of the Year 2000 information made publicly available by
such suppliers. The Company plans to substantially complete the assessment of
these third parties by mid-1999 and, promptly upon discovery of any readiness
issues that are material to the Company, begin efforts to obtain adequate
readiness assurances from the relevant third parties. There can be no assurance
that the Company will receive all information necessary to fully evaluate the
Year 2000 readiness of all material suppliers. In addition, the Company relies
in various ways, both domestically and internationally, on governments,
utilities, communications service providers, financial institutions and other
third parties to conduct normal business operations. There can be no assurance
that suppliers and other third parties upon which the Company is reliant will
not suffer business interruptions caused by Year 2000 issues. Such interruptions
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Other aspects of the Year 2000 issue may pose additional risks to the Company.
Some commentators predict that normal purchasing patterns and trends in the
software industry may be affected by customers replacing or upgrading
applications or systems to address Year 2000 issues. The Company has not
experienced any discernable trend indicating a recent or impending material
reduction in demand for the Company's products. However, there can be no
assurance that Year 2000 issues will not affect future customer purchasing
patterns, possibly resulting in lower demand for the Company's products.
Furthermore, commentators have predicted that a significant amount of litigation
may arise out of Year 2000 compliance issues. Although certain potential
litigation scenarios have been described above, the probability of the Company's
actual involvement in any lawsuits of this nature and the range of potential
outcomes is not estimable at this time. A material adverse outcome in a Year
2000 lawsuit - as is the case with any lawsuit - could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of
operations.

Although the Company believes that its Year 2000 readiness efforts are designed
to appropriately identify and address those Year 2000 issues that are within the
Company's control, there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be
fully effective or that Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations. The
novelty and complexity of the issues presented, the proposed solutions
therefore, and the Company's dependence on the preparedness of third parties,
are among the factors that could cause the Company's efforts to be less than
fully effective. Moreover, Year 2000 issues present many risks that are simply
beyond the Company's control, for example, the collateral effects of Year 2000
issues on the economy in general and on the company's business partners and
customers in particular. In light of the foregoing, the Company believes that it
is not possible to specifically describe its most reasonably likely "worst case"
Year 2000 scenario or to quantify the related potential consequences. However,
the risks and the potential consequences described above represent management's
best judgment of these matters based on currently available information. Except
as described above, the Company has not established "contingency plans" to
address potential consequences of the Year 2000 issues. The Company intends to
continue to evaluate both existing and newly identified Year 2000 risks and to
develop and implement such further responsive measures as it deems appropriate.
