NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending June 30, 1999. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period.
The following table reconciles the shares used in calculating basic earnings per
share to the shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share:

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
On July 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Position
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition ("SOP 97-2"), which provides specific
industry guidance and stipulates that revenue recognized from software
arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the
relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades,
enhancements, post contract customer support, consulting and implementation
services, or training. Under SOP 97-2, the determination of fair value is based
on objective evidence that is specific to the vendor. If such evidence of fair
value for each element of the arrangement does not exist, all revenue from the
arrangement is deferred until such time that evidence of fair value does exist
or until all elements of the arrangement are delivered. The adoption of SOP 97-2
did not have a material effect on the Company's revenue recognition.
4. ACQUISITION
On June 30, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
business of Logical Software Solutions Corporation ("LSS"). LSS is an enterprise
application integration developer and service provider. The purchase price
consisted of 233,334 shares of common stock valued at approximately $1,400,000,
cash in the amount of $3,600,000, and $379,000 in direct acquisition costs. The
233,334 shares of common stock issued in the acquisition were placed in escrow
and will vest with time over a six-year period. Vesting of the shares will be
accelerated if annual performance goals to be determined by mutual agreement
among the Company and the former LSS shareholders are met. If all performance
goals are met, the shares will fully vest in three years. The specific
performance goals have not yet been determined.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired business and the fair
market values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were included in
the Company's financial statements as of the date of acquisition. The purchase
price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on fair
values.
A portion of the purchase price represents purchased in-process research and
development that has not yet reached technological feasibility and has no
alternative future use. The value assigned to purchased in-process research and
development was determined by identifying research projects in areas for which
technological feasibility has not been established; estimating the costs to
develop the purchased in-process research and development into commercially
viable products; estimating the resulting net cash flows from such projects; and
discounting the net cash flows back to the time of acquisition.
In December 1998, the Company responded to an SEC request for supplemental
information related primarily to the accounting treatment of the in-process
research and development ("IPR&D") charge taken by the Company in connection
with the LSS acquisition. The Company is not able at this time to predict the
amount of the charge that will be allowed by the SEC or the effect of any
required restatement on the Company's financial statements.
The following table presents pro forma results of operations as if the
acquisition had occurred on July 1, 1997, excluding all nonrecurring
acquisition-related charges. The table includes the impact of certain
adjustments such as goodwill amortization and related tax effects. The pro forma
information is not necessarily indicative of the combined results that would
have occurred had the acquisition been in effect for the entire period
presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of results that may occur in the
future.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS
No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and disclosure of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130, which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, requires
reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods to be provided for
comparative purposes. The Company currently has no components of accumulated
other comprehensive income and has not determined the manner in which it will
present the information required by SFAS No. 130 in its annual financial
statements for the year ending June 30, 1999.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for the way public business enterprises report information about
operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. In the initial
year of application, comparative information for earlier years must be restated.
The Company has not determined the manner in which it will present the
information required by SFAS No. 131 in its annual financial statements for the
year ending June 30, 1999.
On December 22, 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-9. SOP 98-9 amends paragraphs 11 and 12 of SOP
97-2 to require recognition of revenue using the "residual method" when (1)
there is vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of all
undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement that is not accounted for
using long-term contract accounting, (2) vendor-specific objective evidence of
fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the
arrangement, and (3) all revenue-recognition criteria in SOP 97-2 other than the
requirement for vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each
delivered element of the arrangement are satisfied. Under the residual method,
the arrangement fee is recognized as follows: (1) the total fair value of the
undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor-specific object evidence, is
deferred and subsequently recognized in accordance with the relevant sections of
SOP 97-2 and (2) the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount
deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the
delivered elements. The "residual method" established by SOP 98-9 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 1999. The Company believes that the
adoption of SOP 98-9 will not have a material effect on the Company's revenue
recognition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that have been made
under the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such forward looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about the Company's industry, management's beliefs and certain
assumptions made by management. When used throughout this discussion, words such
as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that
are difficult to predict. The Company's actual actions or results may differ
materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors which
could affect the Company's financial results and cause such results to differ
materially from quarter to quarter include, but are not limited to, fluctuations
in quarterly performance and in interest rates, competition, timing and customer
acceptance of new products, the Company's ability to manage growth and integrate
acquired technology, changes in governmental regulations and tax laws, and
general economic conditions and concerns raised by the Year 2000 computer
problem. Additional information regarding these and other risks and
uncertainties is described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, and in other reports filed by the Company from
time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
OVERVIEW
INTERLINQ Software Corporation, established in 1982, is a leading provider of
technology that helps organizations effectively manage complex,
information-intensive business transactions.
On June 30, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
business of Logical Software Solutions Corporation ("LSS"). This acquisition
included the LSS technology and specifically FlowMan(R) version 3.2. As a result
of the acquisition, the Company formed two operating divisions - the Mortgage
Technology Division and the Enterprise Technology Division. The operations of
the acquired company are included in the Company's financial statements
beginning on June 30, 1998.
The Mortgage Technology Division provides business solutions to approximately
2,000 banks, savings institutions, mortgage banks, mortgage brokers and credit
unions. The Enterprise Technology Division provides process-centered, enterprise
application integration ("EAI") solutions through third-party application
developers, OEMs and system integrators.
MORTGAGE TECHNOLOGY DIVISION: Through its Mortgage Technology Division, the
Company works closely with clients to provide comprehensive software
applications and business
8
<PAGE> 9
solutions for the residential mortgage and construction lending industry,
offering a suite of products, MortgageWare(R) Enterprise, that manages the
entire life cycle of a mortgage loan.
Prior to the mid-1980s, mortgage loans in the United States were originated in a
manual and paper-intensive process. Beginning in the mid-1980s and running
through the mid-1990s, the mortgage lending industry implemented its first wave
of automation with PC-based software solutions for mortgage originations. During
this period, the Company experienced rapid revenue and customer growth by
providing its MortgageWare Loan Management System designed as a robust,
full-featured and cost-effective PC-based software solution for mortgage
originations.
This first wave of automation accelerated and amplified beginning in 1992, as
mortgage interest rates reached historically low levels and mortgage refinance
volumes soared. In early 1994, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, which
immediately caused mortgage refinance volumes to decline substantially. As a
result, lenders found themselves with excess labor and mortgage processing
capacity. Consequently, the Company believes, the industry was focused more on
staff reduction and cost-cutting than on adding new automated loan management
systems.
From 1996 through 1998, mortgage-lending rates have reflected a lending
environment that has experienced a high degree of volatility. In spite of this
volatility, overall lending conditions have been considered favorable for the
borrower compared to most historical measures. The Company believes that this
overall favorable lending environment for mortgage-lending activity is driving
an increase in financing of home sales and refinancing of existing mortgages.
During the latter half of fiscal year 1997, the Company observed a shift in the
mortgage origination business, which it attributes to excess production capacity
coupled with a reduced profit margin. Currently, most of this excess production
capacity appears to have been fulfilled, yet profit margins in mortgage loan
origination continue to be low.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company saw an increase in
software license fees, compared to the same quarter in the prior year, due to
demand for the MortgageWare Enterprise product suite and the continuing
favorable lending environment. The Company believes that due to intense
competition in the mortgage lending industry and the related lower profit
margins, its customers will continue to shift their long-term purchasing
decisions from solutions that solely increase production capacity to solutions
that will help to reduce unit costs and, consequently, increase profit margins.
Accordingly, during fiscal years 1996 and 1997, the Company sought to diversify
its product offerings by developing an integrated "enterprise" solution for the
mortgage lending industry. The Company believes that this broader enterprise
solution has contributed to the increases in software license revenues over the
last few quarters, and will allow the Company to respond advantageously to the
recent changes in the mortgage lending industry. This broader product offering
is designed to reduce the cost of originating, processing, and servicing a
mortgage, rather than just increasing production capacity.
ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY DIVISION: Through its Enterprise Technology Division, the
Company intends to enter the EAI market by marketing
9
<PAGE> 10
FlowMan, a software product that integrates disparate systems and applications
to facilitate ongoing process knowledge management by applying its business
process and rules technology across an entire enterprise. FlowMan is designed to
coordinate the execution and timing of all tasks, events and decisions for key
business processes across legacy systems, enterprise applications, client-server
systems and Internet technologies.
Upon acquisition of LSS, the Company developed a two-prong strategy to leverage
the FlowMan technology. This two-prong strategy is expected to provide growth
and diversification for the Company, while allowing it to continue to expand and
excel in its core market of mortgage technology.
In the first prong, the Company is in the process of integrating the FlowMan
technology with the Company's MortgageWare Enterprise product suite. This is
expected to further broaden the capabilities and the appeal of the Mortgage
Technology Division's product offerings and strengthen the commitment of the
Company to enterprise solutions. In the second prong, the Company has entered
the EAI market by marketing FlowMan on a stand-alone basis, primarily through
OEMs, system integrators, and third-party application developers. The Company
believes that the product can be successfully marketed as an application package
in other vertical markets and as a tool kit for use by other application
providers. The Company views the EAI market as being in its early stages of
development and expects this market to grow over the next few years.
CERTAIN DEVELOPMENTS: In December 1998, the Company responded to an SEC request
for supplemental information and amendments to the "Management's Discussion and
Analysis" contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 1998, and its Current Report on Form 8-K and 8-K/A dated June 30, 1998. The
SEC's request related primarily to the accounting treatment of the in-process
research and development ("IPR&D") charge taken by the Company in connection
with the LSS acquisition. On January 20, 1999, the Company received further
comments from the SEC and a request for additional information. It is unclear
when this matter will be resolved. In light of the SEC's recent actions
regarding IPR&D charges taken by other companies pursuant to mergers and
acquisitions, the Company believes it likely that it will be required to restate
its financial statements filed after the LSS acquisition. The Company is not
able at this time to predict the amount of the charge that will be allowed by
the SEC or the effect of the restatement on the Company's financial statements.
On December 29, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Terlin, Inc.,
an affiliate of W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC ("WRH") relating to a leveraged
recapitalization of the Company. Under the agreement, the Company will merge
with Terlin, Inc. If approved by shareholders, the merger may result in the
Company ceasing to be publicly traded. In the merger, each of approximately
2,150,000 shares of Terlin Inc. will convert into one share of the Company's
common stock. In addition, 1,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock will
remain outstanding and all other outstanding shares will be converted into the
right to receive cash in the
10
<PAGE> 11
amount of $9.25 per share. Each shareholder will be
given the opportunity to elect as to all or a part of his or her shares, to
retain such shares. To the extent that the shareholders elect to retain more or
less than 1,250,000 shares, the shareholders will receive additional shares or
cash on a pro rata basis. Additionally, a reverse stock split may take place
following the merger to reduce the number of shareholders to less than 300 to
facilitate taking the Company private.

</TABLE>
Net revenues consist of software license fees, software support fees and other
revenues (which include training, consulting fees, document fees, and other
miscellaneous sales), net of discounts and sales returns.
Software license fees were $3,159,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998,
an increase of 47% from $2,153,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Software license fees were $6,506,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1998, an increase of 76% from $3,700,000 in the comparable period of the prior
year. These increases were due primarily to demand from new and existing
customers for the Company's MortgageWare Enterprise product suite, resulting in
a combination of a net increase in sales of MortgageWare TC/MortgageWare Loan
Management System (as lenders added production capacity), an increase in sales
of MortgageWare Loan Servicing and to a lesser extent, increased sales of the
Company's other products.
Software support fees were $2,086,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998,
an increase of 20% from $1,734,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Software support fees were $4,068,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1998, an increase of 19% from $3,428,000 in the comparable period of the prior
year. These period-to-period increases were due primarily to higher software
sales volume and a relatively low customer attrition rate. Due in part to
changes, from time to time, in government regulations relating to documentation
required for residential mortgage lending, the vast majority of the Company's
customers purchase annual software support agreements. Because software support
fees are recognized ratably over the term of the annual support agreement (while
software license fees are recognized on product shipment), the percentage
increase in software support fees compared to software license fees is not
directly proportional. The Company believes software support fees are likely to
continue to increase at a modest rate for the rest of fiscal year 1999.
Other revenues were $560,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, an
increase of 16% from $481,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Other
revenues were $1,040,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998, an increase
of 18% from $883,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. These increases
were due primarily to an increase in demand for the Company's training services
and VMP referral fees earned by the Company on documents sales, partially
offset by a decrease in consulting services. The Company expects its other
revenues to continue to increase during the remainder of
11
<PAGE> 12
fiscal year 1999, compared to fiscal year 1998, due to the related increase in
software license fee revenue as well as increased demand for consulting services
associated with implementation of MortgageWare Loan Servicing.
The Company anticipates an increasing contribution to software license fees, and
related increases to software support fees and other revenues, from MortgageWare
Loan Servicing, MortgageWare InfoLINQ, MortgageWare MarketLINQ, MortgageWare
InvestorLINQ and FlowMan for the remainder of fiscal 1999. As discussed above,
the Company believes the overall lending environment to be favorable as of
December 31, 1998. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that mortgage-lending
rates will not increase or continue to experience a high amount of volatility.
Such increases or continued volatility could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if
lending rates stabilize, if homeowners and potential homeowners perceive such
rates as too high, mortgage lending transactions may be delayed. Such delays
may have an adverse effect on the Company's customers, which could result in
an adverse effect on the Company and its results of operations.
The Company has just entered the relatively new EAI market, which is subject to
constant change and intense competition. In addition, many of the Company's
competitors in this market have longer operating histories, greater name
recognition, and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing
resources than the Company. There is no assurance that the Company's products
will be accepted by the market or that the Company will be competitive within
the market, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

</TABLE>
Cost of software license fees primarily consists of the amortization of
capitalized software development costs and, to a lesser extent, the purchase and
duplication of disks and product documentation. As a percentage of software
license fees, cost of software license fees increased to 19% for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998, from 18% in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
As a percentage of software license fees, cost of software license fees
decreased to 18% for the six months ended December 31, 1998, from 22% in the
comparable period of the prior year. The increase for the quarter is due
primarily to a change in the product mix and lower gross margins on certain
interface products. The decrease for the six-month period is due primarily to
software license fees increasing at a substantially higher rate than the cost of
software license fees that contain the relatively fixed component of
amortization of capitalized software development costs.
12
<PAGE> 13
Amortization of capitalized software development costs increased to $530,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1998, compared to $369,000 in the comparable
quarter of the prior year, and increased to $1,033,000 for the six-month period
ended December 31, 1998, compared to $725,000 in the comparable period of the
prior year. The Company expects the dollar amount of its amortization of
capitalized software development costs to increase for the remainder of fiscal
year 1999.
Cost of software support fees includes salaries and other costs related to
providing telephone support, and the purchase, duplication and shipping of disks
associated with software updates. As a percentage of software support fees, cost
of software support fees decreased to 30% for the quarter ended December 31,
1998, from 35% in the comparable quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of
software support fees, cost of software support fees decreased to 31% for the
six-month period ended December 31, 1998, from 33% in the comparable period of
the prior year. These decreases were primarily due to software support fee
revenue increasing at a rate higher than the cost of software support fees.
Payroll costs have increased since the prior year as the customer support group
has grown; however, these increases have been offset by decreases in the
supplies expense associated with delivering software updates. The Company
expects the dollar cost of software support fees to continue to increase due to
the increased staffing that will be required to support a higher installed base
of the Company's products and in order to support the FlowMan product. The
Company expects that these factors will not lead to a significant increase in
the ratio of the cost of software support fees to software support fees.
Cost of other revenue includes the salaries and reimbursable expenses for the
employees who provide training and consulting services and the net cost of the
Company's annual MortgageWare software users' group meeting. As a percentage of
other revenue, cost of other revenue increased to 50% for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, from 43% in the comparable quarter of the prior year. As a
percentage of other revenue, cost of other revenue remained relatively
consistent increasing to 52% for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998,
from 51% in the comparable period of the prior year. These increases were
primarily due to a change in the product mix of other revenues and the
associated costs. The Company expects the margins earned on other revenues to
continue to vary with changes in the product mix.

Product development expenses include salaries for software developers and
analysts, facility costs and expenses associated with computer equipment used in
software development, net of costs capitalized. As a percentage of net revenues,
product development expenses increased to 16% for the quarter ended December 31,
1998 from
13
<PAGE> 14
10% in the comparable quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of net
revenues, product development expenses increased to 15% for the six-month period
ended December 31, 1998, from 10% in the comparable period of the prior year.
These increases were due primarily to the Company's efforts introduced in the
current fiscal year to develop FlowMan version 4.0 and to operate the related
remote development office. These efforts resulted in additional product
development expenses of approximately $369,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, and $662,000 for the six-month period ended
December 31, 1998. The remainder of the increase resulted from increased
headcount, salaries and bonuses related to the Company's other product
development efforts (due in part to the tight market for technical skills).
These increases were offset somewhat by an increase in the amount of capitalized
software development costs. The Company capitalized $556,000 and $416,000 of
development expenditures for the quarters ended December 31, 1998, and 1997,
respectively. The Company capitalized $1,045,000 and $753,000 of development
expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
As a result of development expenses associated with FlowMan 4.0, the integration
of FlowMan with the Company's existing products, as well as normal enhancements
to existing products, the Company expects overall development spending to
continue to increase somewhat during the remainder of the 1999 fiscal year. No
development costs related to FlowMan 4.0 will be capitalized until the product
reaches technological feasibility; therefore the Company expects that the amount
of capitalized software development costs that are carried on its balance sheet
will only increase slightly or remain flat until that time.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, sales commissions,
travel and facility costs for the Company's sales and marketing personnel, and,
to a lesser extent, advertising, trade shows and other promotional activities.
As a percentage of net revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 24%
for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from 32% in the comparable quarter of
the prior year. As a percentage of net revenues, sales and marketing expenses
decreased to 25% for the six months ended December 31, 1998, from 32% in the
comparable period of the prior year. These decreases were primarily due to
revenues increasing at a faster rate than sales and marketing expenses. On a
dollar basis, sales and marketing expenses increased 3% to $1,420,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $1,377,000 in the comparable quarter of
the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses increased 11% to $2,869,000 for the
six-month period ended December 31, 1998, from $2,578,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. At the same time, total net revenues increased by 33%
and 45% for the quarter and the six-month period ended December 31, 1998,
respectively (as discussed above). The Company expects sales and marketing
expenses to continue to increase on a dollar basis but to remain relatively
consistent on a percentage of revenue basis for the rest of fiscal year 1999,
since many sales and marketing expenses fluctuate with revenue.
General and administrative expenses include costs associated with finance,
accounting, purchasing, order fulfillment, administration and facilities. As a
percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 28%
for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from 22% in the comparable quarter of
the prior year. As a
14
<PAGE> 15
percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 24%
for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998, from 21% in the comparable
period of the prior year. On a dollar basis, general and administrative expenses
increased 71% to $1,623,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from
$948,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year, and increased 62% to
$2,778,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998, from $1,717,000 in the
comparable period of the prior year. These increases were due primarily to
approximately $360,000 of expenses incurred by the Company for the potential
leveraged recapitalization transaction (as discussed above), including
investment banking fees, legal and accounting fees. To a lesser extent,
general and administrative expenses increased during these periods due to
increased payroll for the department and non-recurring costs associated with
the relocation of the Company's headquarters during the quarter ended
December 31, 1998. The Company expects general and administrative expenses to
continue to increase on a dollar basis as additional expenses are expected
related to the leveraged recapitalization. The Company expects this to
translate into a modest increase in general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net revenues.

Net interest and other income which consists primarily of interest income,
decreased 26% to $137,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from $184,000

decreased 22% to $291,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998, from
$375,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. These decreases were due
primarily to the reduction in cash and investments resulting from the purchase
of LSS, significant purchases of property, equipment and leasehold improvements,
the repurchase of the Company's common stock and cash deposits made for federal
income tax. These uses of cash were offset somewhat by the cash generated by
operations.
If the leveraged recapitalization with WRH, is approved by shareholders (as
discussed above), the Company expects to incur net interest expense rather than
net interest income due to the use of cash and the related debt that would be
incurred.

Income taxes include federal and state income taxes currently payable and

statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.
The effective tax rate decreased to 34% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998,
from 37% in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The effective tax rate
decreased to 34% for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998, from 39% in
the comparable period of the prior year. These decreases were due primarily to
the reversal of a portion of the deferred tax asset and the related valuation
allowance for the write off of in-process research and development arising from
15
<PAGE> 16
the acquisition of LSS. The Company expects this deferred tax asset and the
related valuation allowance to reverse gradually over time, as the write off
becomes deductible for tax purposes (over fifteen years as allowed by current
IRS regulations).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital, which consists principally of cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments, was $7,112,000 as of December 31, 1998, compared to
$8,150,000 at June 30, 1998. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4,527,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1998. Additions to cash and cash
equivalents included $1,877,000 provided by operations. Principal uses of cash
and cash equivalents included $2,712,000 for the acquisition of LSS, $1,253,000
for the repurchase of common stock, $1,045,000 of capitalized software costs,
and $1,384,000 for the purchase of property and equipment.
The Company expects to spend approximately $200,000 for capital expenditures
during the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. The Company's
facility lease expired in November 1998, and the Company entered into a
seven-year lease for a new facility. Net occupancy costs are not expected to
increase significantly as a result of this move; however, during the six months
ended December 31, 1998, the Company incurred approximately $815,000 of tenant
improvement costs and fixed asset purchases related to this move.
Long-term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses, are
anticipated for development of new software products and enhancement of existing
products (including FlowMan version 4.0); financing anticipated growth; the
possible acquisition of other software products, technologies and businesses;
and the possible repurchase of the Company's common stock.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had no interest-bearing debt outstanding.
If the shareholders approve the leveraged recapitalization of the Company,
pursuant to the agreement between the Company and Terlin, Inc., (as discussed
above) the Company expects such transaction to result in the origination of
long-term financing. The terms of such financing are not known at this time. In
addition, the transaction would result in a significant reduction of the cash
and investment balances held by the Company since these resources would be
partially used to finance the recapitalization. The remaining balance of cash
and investments will depend on the timing of the transaction and the cash
generated and/or used before the transaction closes. The Company believes the
use of cash will be significant but does not know the exact amount at this time.
If the transaction is not approved, the Company believes that no new debt
financing would be required and that its existing cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments, and cash generated by operations will be sufficient to
satisfy its other currently anticipated cash requirements for fiscal year 1999.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 problem arose because many existing computer programs use only the
last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these computer programs do not
properly recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar
16
<PAGE> 17
"19." If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create
erroneous results.
The Company has initiated efforts to mitigate the impact of the Year 2000
problem on three levels: (i) the products that the Company uses internally to
conduct its business, (ii) the products that it sells, and (iii) the Year 2000
readiness of the Company's vendors.
(i) Internal Products
The Company has taken an inventory of all software and hardware systems used
internally to conduct its ongoing business. These systems include client/server
systems, LAN systems, PC systems and related software, security systems and
voice mail systems. The Company has been notified by its vendors that certain of
these systems are currently Year 2000-ready, while other systems are scheduled
for purchase or update during the 1999 fiscal year. The Company has performed
limited testing to confirm Year 2000 readiness on certain of these systems, and
intends to complete such testing by June 30, 1999. Based on the inventory of
these internal systems, the Company does not believe the cost of completing Year
2000 readiness will be material. The Company believes that significant
record-keeping and operational deficiencies could occur should the Company's
internal products not be made Year 2000-ready, which could have material adverse
effects on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. The Company has no contingency plans in place should this occur.
(ii) The Company's Products
A majority of the products that the Company sells in the operation of its
business have been made Year 2000-ready. All of the products have been evaluated
for the Year 2000 problem and significant steps have been taken to make each
product Year 2000-ready. The following products have been made Year 2000-ready
and have been subjected to testing for the Year 2000 problem: MortgageWare Loan
Servicing, MortgageWare Loan Management System, MortgageWare TC, MortgageWare
Entre, MortgageWare MarketLINQ, MortgageWare InvestorLINQ and BuilderBlock$TM.
In addition to internal testing, the Company has published recommendations to
its customers with regards to the testing that they should be performing
in-house on these products to ensure Year 2000 readiness. The following products
have been made Year 2000-ready and are currently being tested for the Year 2000
problem: MortgageWare InfoLINQ and FlowMan version 3.2. After subjecting these
products to testing, the Company intends to publish recommendations to its
customers on in-house testing that they should be performing on these products
to ensure Year 2000 readiness.
The Company believes that all of its products will be Year 2000-ready by the end
of the 1999 fiscal year and that no material costs will remain at that time.
However, there can be no assurances that the Company's products do not contain
undetected errors relating to the Year 2000 problem that may result in material
additional cost or liabilities of unknown magnitude, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, the Company believes
17
<PAGE> 18
that the purchasing patterns of customers and potential customers may be
affected by the Year 2000 problem in a variety of ways. Some customers may defer
purchasing the Company's products because they will be diverting resources to
address their own Year 2000 problems. In contrast, other customers may
accelerate their decisions to purchase the Company's products to replace
non-Year 2000-ready applications. The Company has not been able to directly
measure any impact of these decisions for the six months ended December 31,
1998, and believes that it is not possible to predict the overall impact of
these decisions.
(iii) The Company's Vendors
The Company has identified third-party vendors upon which it places significant
reliance and plans to ascertain their readiness for the Year 2000 problem during
the 1999 fiscal year. Although, the Company believes it is prudent to assess its
vendors' Year 2000 readiness, it is unable to accurately predict the impact to
the Company if certain vendors are not Year 2000-ready. Significant disruption
in the businesses of the Company's customers and third-party vendors may have
material adverse effects on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
CERTAIN ADDITIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS
If the proposed merger between the Company and Terlin Inc. is completed as
planned, the Company will have substantially more indebtedness than it has had
historically. Consequently, a portion of cash flow available from operations
will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness,
thereby reducing the funds that would otherwise be available to the Company,
including for research and development, acquisitions and future business
opportunities. In addition, the Company's ability to obtain additional financing
in the future may be limited. Furthermore, certain of the borrowings may be at
variable rates of interest, which will cause the Company to be even more
vulnerable to increases in interest rates and the higher degree of leverage will
make the Company relatively more vulnerable to economic downturns and
competitive pressures. Each of these factors could materially adversely affect
the Company's operating results and financial condition.
If, on the other hand, the merger is abandoned, under certain circumstances and
depending on the reasons for the termination, the Company may be obligated to
either reimburse Terlin for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees,
pay Terlin $625,000 plus reimbursements for all its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses and fees, or pay Terlin $1,250,000 plus reimbursements for all its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees. There is no assurance that the
merger will be completed as planned, and any such termination payments could
materially adversely affect the Company's operating results and financial
condition.
The Company's business divisions face intense competition at many levels. The
market for mortgage-related software products is highly competitive. Similarly,
the EAI software market is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change.
The Company believes that the main competitive factors in both markets include
price, operating platform compatibility, ease of
18
<PAGE> 19
implementation and use, and customer support. Any change in such factors could
materially adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting new
customers in the mortgage technology market, or that its existing customers will
continue to purchase its products and support services. In addition, there is no
assurance that the Company's new mortgage technology products and services will
be released in a timely fashion and that, if and when released, new products or
services or its efforts to integrate the FlowMan product, into its existing
mortgage software products will be well received by its target market or that
others will not successfully develop competing products and services. Each of
these events could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's revenues,
financial condition, and results of operations.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting new
customers in the EAI market, or that its existing customers will continue to
purchase its products and support services. In addition, there is no assurance
that FlowMan 4.0 will be released in a timely fashion or that, if and when
released, it will be well received by its target market or that others will not
successfully develop competing products and services. Nor is there any assurance
that the Company will be successful in its efforts to develop the required new
indirect sales channels, given its plans to market FlowMan through third party
application developers, OEMs, and system integrators. Each of these events could
have a material adverse effect upon the Company's revenues, financial condition,
and results of operations.
Expansion of the Company's operations in the EAI software market will require
significant additional expenses and capital and could strain the Company's
management, financial and operational resources. There can be no assurance that
the Company's experience and leadership in the mortgage-related software market
will benefit the Company as it enters new markets, and gross margins
attributable to new business areas may be lower than those associated with the
Company's existing business activities. Nor can there be assurance that the
Company will be able to expand its operations in a cost-effective or timely
manner. Furthermore, any new business launched by the Company that is not
favorably received by consumers could damage the Company's reputation or the
INTERLINQ brand. The lack of market acceptance of such efforts or the Company's
inability to generate satisfactory revenues from such expanded services or
products to offset their cost could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is unable to accurately estimate unit sales of its products and the
volume of annual support contracts that its customers will purchase due in
general to the nature of the software markets, and specifically to the cyclical
and volatile nature of the residential mortgage lending market, and the
development stage of the EAI market. Increases in interest rates, or changes in
tax laws or other governmental regulations relating to the mortgage industry
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS
No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and disclosure of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130, which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, requires
reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods to be provided for
comparative purposes. The Company currently has no other components of
comprehensive income and has not determined the manner in which it will present
the information required by SFAS No. 130 in its annual financial statements for
the year ending June 30, 1999.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for the way public business enterprises report information about
operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. In the initial
year of application, comparative information for earlier years must be restated.
The Company has not determined the manner in which it will present the
information required by SFAS No. 131.
On December 22, 1998, the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-9. SOP 98-9 amends paragraphs 11 and 12 of SOP
97-2 to require recognition of revenue using the "residual method" when (1)
there is vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of all
undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement that is not accounted for
using long-term contract accounting, (2) vendor-specific objective evidence of
fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the
arrangement, and (3) all revenue-recognition criteria in SOP 97-2 other than the
requirement for vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each
delivered element of the arrangement are satisfied. Under the residual method,
the arrangement fee is recognized as follows: (1) the total fair value of the
undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor-specific object evidence, is
deferred and subsequently recognized in accordance with the relevant sections of
