(1)      For purposes of calculation of the filing fee only, this amount is
         based on (i) 5,128,662 (the number of shares of Interlinq common stock
         outstanding as of January 21, 1999) minus 3,403,439 (the number of
         shares of Interlinq common stock to be retained and issued in the
         Merger) multiplied by $9.25 (the cash consideration per share of
         Interlinq common stock), plus (ii) 3,403,439 (the number of shares of
         Interlinq common stock to be retained and issued in the Merger)
         multiplied by $8.313 (the average of the high and low sales prices of
         Interlinq common stock on the Nasdaq National Market on January 22,
         1999, which sum has been multiplied by 1/50th of one percent. As
         permitted by Rule 0-11(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
         amended, the amount paid by Interlinq indicated below has been
         subtracted and the balance ($985) transferred by electronic funds
         transfer to the Commission.

INTRODUCTION.

   
        This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Amendment No. 2 to Schedule
13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
behalf of INTERLINQ Software Corporation, a Washington corporation
("Interlinq"), Jiri M. Nechleba, William R. Hambrecht and W.R. Hambrecht + Co.,
LLC ("W.R. Hambrecht + Co.") with respect to the proposed merger pursuant to
which Terlin, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Terlin"), will merge with and
into Interlinq with Interlinq as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). As a
result of the Merger, Interlinq may become a private company, and shares of
Interlinq common stock may not trade publicly on the Nasdaq National Market. In
addition, affiliates of Terlin, including W.R. Hambrecht/INLQ, LLC and allied
entities, expect to beneficially own approximately 63.3% of Interlinq common
stock immediately following the Merger.
    

   
        If the Merger is completed, 1,250,000 shares of Interlinq common stock
outstanding prior to the Merger will remain outstanding, and all other
outstanding shares of Interlinq common stock will be converted into the right to
receive a cash payment of $9.25 per share (the "Cash-Out Amount"). In addition,
each of the approximately 2,150,000 shares of Terlin that will be outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger will be converted into one share of Interlinq
common stock in the Merger. Accordingly, Interlinq will have approximately
3,400,000 shares of common stock outstanding after the Merger. Subject to
certain limitations and the terms described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus,
contained in Amendment No. 2 to Form S-4, Interlinq shareholders will be able to
elect, as to all or a part of such shareholder's shares of Interlinq common
stock, to retain such shares and continue to own them after the Merger. If
holders of more than 1,250,000 shares of Interlinq common stock elect to retain
their shares, shareholders making that election will retain shares pro rata
based on the number of shares they initially requested to retain, and will
receive the Cash-Out Amount for their remaining shares. If holders of fewer than
1,250,000 shares elect to retain their shares, shareholders who would otherwise
receive the Cash-Out Amount for all of their shares will instead retain a pro
rata portion of their shares.
    

   
        This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13E-3 is intended to satisfy the
reporting requirements of Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act").
    

   
        The cross reference sheet below is being supplied pursuant to General
Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3 and shows the location of the information
required by Schedule 13E-3 in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained in
Amendment No. 2 to Form S-4, filed with the SEC on the date hereof immediately
prior to the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13E-3. The
cross-referenced information in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including
appendices A, C, D, E and F thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by
reference and the responses to each item in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule
13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the cross-referenced provisions of the
Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained in Amendment No. 2 to Form S-4.
