         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  Condensed
Financial  Statements  and Notes thereto  included  elsewhere in this  Quarterly
Report.  The  ensuing  discussion  and  analysis  contains  both  statements  of

within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  generally are
identified by the words  "expects,"  "believes"  and  "anticipates"  or words of
similar import. Examples of forward-looking  statements include: (a) projections
regarding sales,  revenue,  liquidity,  capital expenditures and other financial
items; (b) statements of the plans, beliefs and objectives of the Company or its
management;  (c) statements of future economic performance,  and (d) assumptions
underlying  statements  regarding the Company or its  business.  Forward-looking
statements  are subject to certain  factors and  uncertainties  that could cause
actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  the  forward-looking  statements,
including,  but not limited to, those factors and uncertainties  described below
under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Factors Affecting Future Results."

Overview

              The  Company  is  the   developer   of  the  world's   first  open
     architecture,   standards-based,   personal   computer  (PC)  software  for
     controlling  machine tools,  industrial  robots and  industrial  automation
     equipment  that  operates  on  the  factory  floor.  The  Cimetrix(R)  Open
     Development  Environment (CODE(TM)) software products are based on standard
     computer  platforms  using  the  Microsoft  Windows  NT  operating  system.
     Cimetrix believes that  manufacturing  companies will  increasingly  demand
     open  architecture,  PC-based  controllers  on the equipment they purchase,
     transforming the worldwide controller market from proprietary  solutions to
     open architecture, PC-based solutions.

              The  following  table  sets  forth  the  percentage  of costs  and

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three and Nine
Months Ended September 30, 1998

Net Sales

         Net sales  decreased  by  $122,000,  or 11%, to $981,000  for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1999 from  $1,103,000  for the three  months ended
September 30, 1998.  Net sales for the third quarter of 1999  consisted of sales
of software (90%), engineering services (1%), and support and training (9%). Net
sales  for the  same  period  in 1998  consisted  of sales  of  software  (82%),
engineering  services  (14%),  and support and  training  (4%).  Software  sales
increased in proportion to total sales,  but overall sales decreased as compared
to the  third  quarter  of 1998 due to the  decrease  in  sales  of  engineering
services.

         Net sales  decreased  by  $27,000,  or 1%, to  $2,935,000  for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1999 from  $2,962,000  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1998.  Net sales for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999
consisted of sales of software (84%), engineering services (5%), and support and
training  (11%).  Net sales for the same  period in 1998  consisted  of sales of
software  (66%),  engineering  services  (20%),  and support and training (14%).
Software  sales  increased  in  proportion  to total  sales,  but overall  sales
decreased  slightly as compared to the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 due
to the decrease in sales of engineering services.

Major Customers

Sales to major customers that exceeded 10 percent of net sales are approximately
as follows (in thousands):



                          Three Months Ended               Nine Months Ended
                             September 30,                    September 30,

       * Less than 10 percent for the period

Cost of Sales

         Cost of sales  decreased  by  $14,000,  or 78%, to $4,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 from $18,000 for the comparable  period in 1998.
Cost of sales decreased by $59,000, or 63%, to $35,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $94,000 for the comparable period in 1998. This decrease
was  attributable  to the  decline in the use of  materials  used to produce the
Company's software products such as manuals,  which are now available on CD-Rom.
Many sales are delivered via the internet and do not require the shipment of any
media or  materials.  The  decrease  in cost of sales  in both  periods  is also
attributable  to the  decrease  in the  sales of  engineering  services  and the
associated costs of those sales.

Selling, Marketing and Customer Support

         Selling,  marketing and customer support costs decreased by $31,000, or
17%, to $150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $181,000 for
the comparable  period in 1998.  Selling,  marketing and customer  support costs
decreased by $33,000, or 6%, to $532,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $565,000 for the comparable  period in 1998. The Company  believes its
current  staffing is adequate to service  its present  customer  base,  allowing
costs to remain fairly constant.

Research and Development

         Research and  development  expenses  increased  by $67,000,  or 20%, to
$401,000  for the three months ended  September  30, 1999 from  $334,000 for the
comparable  period in 1998.  Research  and  development  expenses  increased  by
$114,000,  or 11%, to  $1,141,000  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999
from  $1,027,000  for the  comparable  period in 1998.  The Company's  extensive
effort to develop its products for WindowsNT and the  continued  development  of
the  Company's  GEM  software  products  represents  most  of the  research  and
development  expenditures.  The Company has a need and plans to continue to make
significant  investments  in  research  and  development  and  expects  to incur
research and  development  expenses of  approximately  $1.6 million during 1999.
Research and development expenses include only direct costs for wages, benefits,
materials  and  education of  technical  personnel.  All indirect  costs such as
rents,  utilities,  depreciation  and  amortization are reflected in general and
administrative costs.

General and Administrative

         General and administrative  expenses decreased by $165,000,  or 36%, to
$288,000  for the three months ended  September  30, 1999 from  $453,000 for the
comparable  period in 1998.  General and  administrative  expenses  decreased by
$386,000,  or 30%, to $887,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$1,273,000  for the  comparable  period in 1998.  The  primary  reason for these
decreases is reduced  depreciation  and  amortization  expenses.  Certain assets
which were being depreciated and amortized,  were written-off in 1998, resulting
is lower depreciation and amortization expense in future periods.

Other Income (expenses)

         Interest  income  decreased  by $1,000,  or 6% to $16,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, from $17,000 for the comparable period in 1998.
Interest income increased by $4,000,  or 9% to $49,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999,  from $45,000 for the  comparable  period in 1998.  Improved
operating  results  have  allowed the Company to maintain a cash  reserve.  Cash
reserves are invested in conservative money market fund accounts.

         Interest expense  increased by $9,000, or 16%, to $67,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, from $58,000 for the comparable period in 1998.
Interest  expense  decreased  by $7,000,  or 3%, to $203,000 for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999 from $210,000 for the comparable  period in 1998. This
decrease was  attributable  to the  retirement of a portion of the Company's 10%
Senior Notes through stock transactions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company  had  approximately  $2.56  million of working  capital at
September 30, 1999,  compared with  approximately  $2.48 million at December 31,
1998.  This overall  increase in working capital was principally due to positive
operating  results,  which have  allowed  the  Company to  maintain  its working
capital.
                                      (8)
<PAGE>

Cash used in investing  activities  for the period ended  September 30, 1999 was
$8,000  compared with $20,000 for the same period in 1998. All amounts were used
to purchase computer equipment and software.

         Cash used in financing  activities  for the period ended  September 30,
1999, was $361,000 compared to $17,000 for the same period in 1998. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, financing activities consisted of the Company's
purchase  of  treasury  stock,  which  is  discussed  above in Note 3 of Item 1,
Financial  Statements.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1998,  financing
activities  consisted of the sale of the Company's treasury stock and retirement
of long-term debt.

         The  Company  had  positive  cash flow  from  operating  activities  of
$169,000 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  compared to a negative
cash flow from  operating  activities  of $101,000  for the same period in 1998.
This improvement is a result of reduced operating expenses.

         The  Company's  future  liquidity  will continue to be dependent on the
Company's  operating cash flow and management of trade  receivables.  Management
believes that the Company's  existing  working capital is sufficient to maintain
its current and foreseeable levels of operations.  Management also believes that
the Company has sufficient  funds to meet its capital  expenditure  requirements
for 1999.  The Company  anticipates  that capital  expenditures  for fiscal year
1999,  primarily  for computer  equipment and  software,  will be  approximately
$20,000, compared to $42,000 for 1998.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

         The Company has no  activities  in  derivative  financial  or commodity
instruments.  The Company's exposure to market risks, (i.e.  interest rate risk,
foreign currency  exchange rate risk, equity price risk) through other financial
instruments,  including cash equivalents,  accounts receivable, lines of credit,
is not material.

Year 2000 Issues

         The Company is  committed  to  ensuring  that its  customers  will have
"date-safe" or Y2K compliant software products as they move toward,  through and
past the year 2000. In keeping with this commitment, the Company has conducted a
thorough  assessment  of its  products.  A complete  list of products  and their
compliance  with Y2K standards can be obtained via the Company's  World Wide Web
site,  www.cimetrix.com.  The Company  continues to modify its software products
bringing  them into year 2000  compliance,  along with  normal  ongoing  product
enhancements.  Those  products that are not yet Y2K compliant  will be so before
the end of 1999.

         Vendors  supply the vast majority of the software used in the Company's
business  applications  and  virtually  all of the hardware  systems used in the
Company's  business.  The Company has  obtained  documentation  from its vendors
supplying  software for its primary business  applications  confirming year 2000
compliance.  The company has tested all critical  hardware systems and confirmed
that they are also year 2000  compliant.  The  testing  of all  remaining  minor
systems will be completed prior to the end of the year.

         In  management's  opinion,  year 2000  issues  will not have a material
effect  on the  Company's  day to day  business,  its  operations  or  financial
condition. The Company will continue to monitor and disclose any material change
in its year 2000 readiness in future financial reports.

                                      (9)

Factors Affecting Future Results

         The Company's  future  operating  results and  financial  condition are
difficult  to predict and will be  affected by a number of factors.  The markets
for the  Company's  products  are emerging and  specialized,  and the  Company's
technology  has  been  commercially  available  for  a  relatively  short  time.
Accordingly,  the Company has limited  experience  with the  commercial  use and
acceptance of its products and the extent of the modifications,  adaptations and
custom  applications  that are  required to  integrate  its products and satisfy
customer performance  requirements.  There can be no assurance that the emerging
markets  for  industrial  motion  control  that are served by the  Company  will
continue to grow or that the  Company's  existing and new products  will satisfy
the  requirements  of those  markets and achieve a successful  level of customer
acceptance.  Because  of this,  the  Company  continues  to  devote  significant
research and development  resources to improve its existing  products and to the
development of new products.

         Because of these and other factors,  past financial  performance is not
necessarily  indicative of future  performance,  historical trends should not be
used to  anticipate  future  operating  results,  and the  trading  price of the
Company's  common  stock may be  subject to wide  fluctuations  in  response  to
quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results and market conditions.
