Lake Success, New York


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Renaissance Software, Inc. as

comprehensive income, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the 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.

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 financial position of Renaissance Software, Inc. as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash

                             The Company was initially organized as a New Jersey
                             limited liability company ("LLC") on December 23,
                             1994. LLC commenced operations in 1995 after

                             training, and maintenance services; and revenue

                             recorded at the time of shipment provided that (a)
                             no significant vendor obligations remain
                             outstanding at the time of the sale; (b) the

                             probable by management; and (c) effective with the
                             adoption of SOP 97-2, that vendor specific
                             objective evidence (V.S.O.E.) of fair value exists
                             for all significant elements, including
                             post-contract customer support (PCS) in multiple
                             element arrangements. The company accounts for
                             revenue related to post-contract customer support

                             Where the professional services relate to
                             arrangements requiring significant production,
                             modification or customization of software, and the
                             service element does not meet the criteria for

                             impact on the Company's financial statements for

                             arrangements accounted for in conformity with the
                             percentage of completion contract accounting

                             available for current operations and are classified
                             in the balance sheet as current assets. Unrealized

                             The cost and related accumulated depreciation of
                             assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed
                             from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss
                             is included in other income and expenses.

</TABLE>



                             OFFICER/STOCKHOLDER - At December 31, 1999, the
                             Company was obligated on a note to an officer in
                             the amount of $50,000, and on a note to a
                             stockholder in the amount of $150,000. These notes
                             had an original maturity date of January 2000 and
                             are non-interest bearing. The officer and the
                             stockholder received warrants in consideration of
                             these notes (see Note 11). The effective rate of
                             the notes is approximately 29% after giving effect
                             to the fair value of the warrants. The value of the
                             warrants is recognized as interest expense over the
                             term of the borrowing agreement. In June 2000,
                             these notes were exchanged for Preferred Stock
                             (Series C) (see Note 15).

5. LICENSE AGREEMENT         In December 1994, the Company entered into a ten
                             year software license agreement with the Licensor,
                             which granted the Company worldwide rights for
                             specific warehouse management, logistics, and
                             related software.

                             In June 1997 the Company entered into additional
                             agreements with the Licensor whereby it made a
                             partial pre-payment of the remaining amount due the
                             Licensor, obtained ownership to the previously
                             licensed software, and restructured the remaining
                             obligation due the Licensor.  The Company paid
                             $420,000 during 1998 in satisfaction of the
                             obligation resulting in an extraordinary loss on
                             extinguishment of debt in the amount of $35,000.

                             The benefit for income taxes for 1999 and 1998
                             differs from the statutory U.S. Federal income tax
                             rate primarily due to the valuation adjustment for
                             deferred taxes. The net change in the total
                             valuation allowance for the years ended December
                             31, 1999 and 1998 was an increase of $1,623,000 and
                             $652,000 respectively.

                             At December 31, 1999, the Company has a net
                             operating loss carryforward of approximately
                             $774,000 for income tax purposes. The utilization
                             of these losses to reduce future income taxes
                             depends on the Company generating sufficient
                             taxable income prior to the expiration of this
                             carryforward in December 2019.

7.   CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED   Pursuant to a private placement during 1998, in
     STOCK                   consideration of the receipt of $3 million, the
                             Company issued 1,000,000 shares of $.01 par value
                             Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A
                             Stock") and 8% Promissory Notes with a face value
                             of $1.5 million (see Note 8). Based upon an
                             independent appraisal of both elements of the
                             offering, the Series A Stock was recorded at its
                             fair value of $1,907,710. Additionally, during
                             1999, the Company issued 400,000 shares of $.01 par
                             value Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the
                             "Series B Stock") in consideration of the receipt
                             of $1 million.

                             Each series of preferred stock (collectively the
                             "Preferred Stock") is identical with the other
                             except that the holders of Series A Stock have the
                             sole right to nominate 2 of 5 directors, or 3 of 7
                             directors if the Board is increased. The holders of
                             Series B Stock are entitled to a $2.50 per share
                             liquidation preference and non-dilution protection
                             at $2.50 per share as opposed to the holders of
                             Series A Stock whose liquidation and non-dilution
                             preference are $1.50 per share.

                             Preferred Stock may be converted at any time, at
                             the investors' option, into shares of Common Stock
                             on a share for share basis. The Company has the
                             right to require the holders of the Preferred Stock
                             to convert all such shares into Common Stock upon a
                             public offering of the Company's stock at certain
                             minimum levels. The holders of the Preferred Stock
                             and Common Stock vote together as a single class
                             with each share of Preferred Stock being entitled
                             to a number of votes equal to the number of shares
                             of Common Stock into which it is then convertible.

                             The holders of the Preferred Stock, voting as a
                             single class, may at any time after January 6,
                             2003, or upon the occurrence of certain events of
                             default, require the Company to redeem all of the
                             Preferred Stock at a price equal to the greater of
                             $6.00 per share or the fair market value of such
                             Preferred Stock as determined by an independent
                             third party appraiser.

                             The Series A Stock's initial assigned carrying
                             value of $1,907,910 and the Series B Stock's
                             initial value of $1,000,000 are periodically
                             adjusted to increase the carrying values to the
                             minimum redemption values of $6,000,000 and
                             $2,400,000, respectively, by means of a charge to
                             additional paid-in capital to the extent that it is
                             available, and to the extent that it has been
                             depleted, by means of a charge to an account within
                             the stockholders' equity section titled "Accretion
                             of Redeemable Preferred Stock." For the years ended
                             December 31, 1999 and 1998, accretion of Preferred
                             Stock totaled $771,068 and $491,345, respectively.

8. PROMISSORY NOTES          As indicated in Note 7, during 1998 the Company
                             issued $1.5 million of Promissory Notes in
                             connection with the issuance of Preferred Stock.
                             These notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable
                             quarterly, and mature at the earliest of (i)
                             January 6, 2003, (ii) a private sale of
                             substantially all of the Company's assets or
                             capital stock, or (iii) a public offering of the
                             Company's stock. Based upon an independent
                             appraisal (see Note 7), original issue discount
                             ("OID") was recorded in the amount of $407,710,
                             representing the difference between the $1,500,000
                             face amount of the Promissory Notes and their fair
                             value at issuance of $1,092,290. The OID is being
                             amortized on the interest method over the term of
                             the Promissory Notes as additional interest
                             expense. The effective rate of the Promissory Notes
                             is 16% after giving effect to the amortization of
                             the OID.

9. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION     Effective March 16, 1998, the Company adopted the
   PLAN                      Renaissance Software, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the
                             "Stock Option Plan"), which is available to certain
                             employees and others and administered by a
                             Committee of the Board of Directors. The number of
                             shares, which may be issued under this plan, cannot
                             exceed 350,000. Unexercised options expire
                             automatically upon termination of the employee's
                             employment. One third of the options granted under
                             the Stock Option Plan vest at the time of grant,
                             one third one year after the date of grant, and the
                             remaining one third two years after the date of
                             grant. An option granted to a person who is not an
                             employee of the Company is immediately exercisable,
                             and generally expires ten years after the date of
                             grant.

                             As of December 31, 1999 and 1998 options for
                             186,635 and 115,335 shares were exercisable,
                             respectively. The weighted average fair value per
                             share of options granted during the years ended
                             December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $.31 and $.61,
                             respectively. As of December 31, 1999, the
                             weighted-average remaining life of the options was
                             8.54 years. At December 31, 1999, 10,169 options
                             were available for grant under the Stock Option
                             Plan.

                             Furthermore, effective January 1, 1998, the Company
                             has granted warrants to purchase 365,000 shares of
                             common stock with an exercise price of $.15 per
                             share to two employee/stockholders. The warrants
                             are exercisable by the warrant holders based on the
                             earlier date of December 31, 2002, or on the
                             Company achieving annual and cumulative financial
                             results, as defined, for the years 1997 through
                             2000. The warrants also contain annual and
                             "specific event" vesting rights. As of December 31,
                             1999 and 1998 10% of the warrants have become
                             exercisable. The weighted average fair value of
                             warrants granted during 1998 was $.72 with a
                             weighted average remaining life of eight years (at
                             December 31, 1999).

                             The fair value of each grant is estimated on the
                             date of grant using the Black-Scholes
                             option-pricing model with the weighted-average
                             risk-free interest rate assumptions of 5.54% and
                             5.77% for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
                             1998, respectively. The weighted average expected
                             life for options is 3 years and for warrants is 10
                             years.

                             Under Opinion 25, when the exercise price of
                             employee stock options and warrants is not less
                             than the fair value of the underlying stock on the
                             date of grant, no compensation expense is
                             recognized. However, when the exercise price is
                             less than the fair value of the underlying stock,
                             deferred stock compensation is recognized and
                             amortized to expense over the vesting period of the
                             option or warrant. During the year ended December
                             31, 1998, the Company recorded deferred
                             compensation in the amount of $388,500, of which
                             $160,054 was recognized as an expense. During the
                             year ended December 31, 1999, deferred compensation
                             was adjusted by $4,801 for options cancelled and
                             $73,966 was recognized as expense.

10. RETIREMENT PLAN          The Company has a qualified profit sharing plan
                             under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the
                             Internal Revenue Code that covers substantially all
                             employees who have met the age and service
                             requirements. Under the plan, participating
                             employees may defer up to 12% of their pretax
                             salary, but not more than statutory limits. The
                             Company has not elected to contribute any amounts
                             to the plan.

11. WARRANTS                 In February 1999, the Company issued 25,000
                             warrants to purchase common stock, exercisable at
                             $1.00 per share, to two of its stockholders in
                             consideration of a guarantee of the line of credit
                             issued by the Company's bank (see Note 3). The
                             Company recorded expense of $6,250 as the fair
                             value of the warrants issued.

                             In December 1999, the Company issued 60,000
                             warrants to purchase shares of common stock,
                             exercisable at $1.50 per share, to three of its
                             stockholders in consideration for loans aggregating
                             $300,000, of which $100,000 was received in January
                             2000 (see Note 4).

12. COMMITMENTS AND          LEASES - The Company leases office space and
    CONTINGENCIES            computer and office equipment under various
                             noncancellable operating lease arrangements, which
                             expire through December 2007. Some of the Company's
                             leases have renewal options at agreed upon or fair
                             market value rentals. In addition to monthly
                             minimum rentals, some leases require additional
                             rentals for the payment of real estate tax
                             escalations, and certain expense escalations and
                             utility costs.

                             The operating lease for the Company's headquarters
                             is secured by an $87,000 standby letter of credit
                             from a bank. The Company has the option of
                             terminating this rental commitment at various times
                             during the lease upon payment of certain costs, as
                             defined, to the landlord. In addition, this lease
                             includes a free rent period and scheduled base rent
                             increases over the term of the lease. The total
                             base rent payable is being charged to expense on
                             the straight-line method over the term of

                             the lease. The Company has recorded a deferred rent
                             liability to reflect the excess of rent expense
                             over cash payments since inception of the lease.

                             Future minimum rental payments under these
                             noncancellable leases at December 31, 1999 are as

</TABLE>

                             Rent expense was $483,805 and $361,704, including
                             contingent rents of approximately $28,000 and
                             $48,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
                             1998, respectively.

                             LITIGATION - On April 17, 2000, a customer of the
                             Company (the Plaintiff) brought an action against
                             the Company requesting partial recission of
                             contract. The Company has denied the Plaintiff's
                             claim and intends to vigorously defend against this
                             action and will seek monetary damages on its
                             counterclaim. Management believes that any
                             settlement will not have a material effect on its
                             financial position or results of operations.

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS - In January 1998, the
                             Company entered into employment agreements with two
                             of its officers pursuant to which the individuals
                             will receive aggregate base compensation of
                             $458,000 per annum through 2000; thereafter the
                             agreements renew on an annual basis. The agreements
                             provide for the grant to the officers of a total of
                             365,000 warrants and 50,000 options to purchase
                             common stock (see Note 9). One of the officers is
                             also entitled to receive a bonus of $270,000 to be
                             paid upon the earliest of (i) five years, (ii) the
                             consummation of a public offering of the Company's
                             stock, or (iii) a change in control, as defined.

13. BUSINESS AND CREDIT      During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
    CONCENTRATION            39% and 30% of revenue was from two customers,
                             respectively. No other single customer accounted
                             for more than 10% of revenue.

                             At December 31, 1999 and 1998, 47% and 51% of
                             accounts receivable, including unbilled
                             receivables, were from three and four customers,
                             respectively. No other single customer accounted
                             for more than 10% of accounts receivable.

                             The Company maintains cash at two banks. Accounts
                             at each institution are insured by the Federal
                             Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At
                             December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had cash
                             balances exceeding the $100,000 limit (based upon
                             bank balances) by approximately $67,000 and
                             $947,000, respectively.

14. RELATED PARTY            In January 1998, the Company acquired intangible
    TRANSACTIONS             assets, including customer lists and software
                             applications, from an entity in which a stockholder
                             of the Company had an ownership interest. No
                             consideration was paid for the intangibles
                             acquired.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS        During June 2000, the Company issued 1,558,917
