Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations", generally, and specifically therein under the
captions "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Future Performance and
Additional Risk Factors" as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed
herein. The risk factors on pages 14 through 16, among others, should be
considered in evaluating the Company's prospects and future financial

BACKGROUND AND GROWTH STRATEGY

The Company completed its initial public offering in July 1987, raising net
proceeds of approximately $2,600,000. In August 1988, the Company acquired Milan
Systems America, Inc. and the rights to TurboCAD(R). In August 1993, the Company
acquired the rights to FormTool(R), and raised approximately $1,300,000 in a
private placement. In January 1995, the Company acquired the rights to
ViewPoint, a project management software product. In September 1995, the Company
acquired the rights to the FloorPlan(R) Plus product line from
Forte/ComputerEasy International, Inc. In April 1997, the Company acquired the
right to Micro Cookbook(TM), and in July 1997 the rights to MapLinx(R) and
Hijaak(R) product lines, from Computer Concepts Corporation and Quarterdeck
Corporation, respectively. In September 1997, the Company acquired all the 
outstanding shares of MediaPaq(TM), Inc.

The Company has consistently expanded its line of software products during the
last few years. The Company's long term goal is to continue to grow during the
next several years, and to either become a major competitor in the markets in
which it competes, or consolidate with a strategic partner in the software or
information industry.



                                       5
<PAGE>   6



Even if the Company is successful in its goal of increasing revenues and
profits, the Company's plans regarding future growth involve several risks to
the Company, including among others, increased financing needs, capital and cash
flow requirements, changing facilities requirements, the possibility that
revenues will not grow at a rate commensurate with increased expenditure levels,
and the need to add additional management and other personnel to manage the
growth. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully grow in the
future.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales of the Company's products are primarily to companies for resale, such as
software distributors, computer dealers, and retail outlets (collectively,
"retail channel sales"), and also direct to end-users ("direct sales"). The
majority of the Company's channel sales are to distributors, which in turn
resell the products to computer dealers nationally and internationally. Major
distributors of the Company's products include Ingram Micro, Tech Data and
American Online Inc., among others. The Company also sells directly to a limited
number of computer resellers.

The Company's focus in channel sales is to increase sales through its current
distributor network, primarily through the introduction of new products. The
Company also markets products through a combination of telephone sales,
advertising, direct mail, trade shows and sales promotion activities. The
Company has opened the following international sales offices: London, England in
April 1992; Sydney, Australia in April 1993; Munich, Germany in October 1993;
Johannesburg, South Africa in November 1994; Paris, France in April 1995 and Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil in May 1997.

During fiscal 1997, the Company continued its sales transition away from direct
mail in favor of the retail channel, which typically has higher profit margins.
An outside sales force is employed to manage key retail and distribution
accounts directly and solidify and expand these relationships, all of which
broadened IMSI(R)'s overall product distribution. IMSI(R)'s direct mail strategy
remains focused on mining the Company's substantial user database through
cost-effective upgrade and crossgrade mailings. Additionally, new product
introductions such as TurboCAD(R) Professional have afforded expansion
opportunities into the corporate market, which the Company plans to target in
fiscal 1998.

COMPETITION

The microcomputer software and hardware industries are highly competitive and
are characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer requirements. The
Company competes in the acquisition of new products and in the marketing and
sale of its existing products. Important factors in consumer software marketing
include product features, quality, ease of understanding and operation, brand
recognition, advertising and dealer merchandising, access to distribution
channels, hardware compatibility, pricing, and availability and quality of
support services.

The Company competes for new and innovative products primarily on the basis of
brand-name reputation, the terms offered to software developers and the ability
to market new products successfully as demonstrated by past success and current
presence in distribution channels.

The Company faces competition from a large number of sources. The Company's
competitors vary in size from small companies with limited resources to large
corporations, including manufacturers of microcomputers, with substantially
greater financial and management resources than the Company and with the
technical ability to develop or acquire products similar to those offered by the
Company. The Company's size could adversely affect its ability to compete with
larger companies for sales to dealers, distributors, and retail outlets, for
shelf space for its products. Moreover, competition in the Windows applications
segment and the multimedia segment from major software publishers is
intensifying, and the competitive upgrade price discounting between the major
firms is eroding traditional price segmentation that had previously existed in
the software industry. There can be no assurance that




                                       6
<PAGE>   7

price and market share competition will not intensify, or those software or
hardware manufacturers will not market products that may adversely affect the
Company's revenues and income.

Currently, a significant portion of the Company's revenues depends upon sales of
the TurboCAD(R) and MasterClips(R) product lines. A significant decline in sales
with one or more of these product lines could adversely affect the Company's
results of operations. Thus, the Company is more vulnerable to market declines
and competition in the markets for such products than companies with more
diversified sources of revenues.

CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY FOR PRODUCTS

Changes in technology, product obsolescence, and advances in computer software
and hardware will require the Company to develop or acquire new products and to
enhance its products in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in such efforts or that the Company will have the
resources required to respond to technological changes or to compete
successfully in the future. Because of the Company's small size and capital
resources relative to some of its competitors, its ability to avoid
technological obsolescence through acquisition or development of new products or
upgrades of existing products may be more limited than companies with greater
resources. In addition, there can be no assurance that upgrades or new releases
of the Company's products will be free from program defects, which might reduce
sales of such upgrades or new releases.

Several major microcomputer software companies have continued to reduce the
prices of their products. The Company may be required to reduce the prices of
its products in the future to remain competitive. If the Company significantly
reduced the prices of one or more of its products, there can be no assurance
that such price reductions would result in an increase in unit sales volume or
that prices would not continue to decline in the future, which would result in a
decrease in the revenues from, and gross profits on, sales of such products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Improvements in microcomputer software products are important to keep the
products competitive in the rapidly changing technological markets for the
Company's products. The Company has significantly increased its expenditures on
research and development to upgrade its existing products and allow its products
to operate in new environments. Research and development costs for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, were $4,565,334, $3,170,937, and
$2,151,069 respectively. The Company significantly increased the level of
research and development expenses in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997 from previous
levels and expects such expenses to remain at a high level in fiscal 1998
compared with fiscal 1997.

INTERNATIONAL SUBSIDIARIES

In April 1992, the Company formed IMSI(TM) (UK) Limited as a wholly owned
subsidiary, with an office and warehouse located in London, England. In April
1993, the Company formed IMSI(TM) Australia (PTY) Ltd. as a wholly owned
subsidiary, with an office and warehouse located in Sydney. In October 1993, the
Company formed IMSI(TM) Germany (GmbH) as a wholly owned subsidiary with an
office and warehouse located in Munich. In November 1994, the Company formed
IMSI(TM) South Africa Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary, with an office and a
warehouse located in Johannesburg, South Africa. In April 1995, the Company
formed IMSI(TM) France as a wholly owned subsidiary, with an office located in
Paris, France. In May 1997, the Company formed IMSI(TM) Brazil as a wholly
owned subsidiary, with an office located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 215 full-time employees, including
approximately 76 marketing and sales




                                       7
<PAGE>   8

employees, 59 administrative, including accounting, MIS and operations
personnel, and approximately 80 research and development personnel. The Company
also utilizes the services of independent contractors on an as-needed basis.

The Company's ability to market, sell, and support its products and establish
and maintain its competitive position will depend, in part, on its ability to
attract and retain qualified personnel. While the Company believes that it has
been able to attract and retain such personnel, there can be no assurance that
it will continue to be able to do so in the future. The Company is not a party
to any collective bargaining agreements with its employees and considers its
relations with its employees to be satisfactory.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES AND FACILITIES

The Company's primary facilities include leased corporate office space and
warehouse space located in Northern California. The Company leases offices
consisting of approximately 27,600 and 2,968 square feet of office space at 1895
Francisco Blvd. East, and 2505 Kerner Blvd. in San Rafael, California,
respectively, and approximately 34,000 square feet of warehouse space in
Richmond, California at a combined rate of approximately $50,000. 

The Company also leases smaller office and warehouse space in the greater
metropolitan areas of London, England; Munich, Germany; Sydney, Australia;
Johannesburg, South Africa; Paris, France and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 
Company expects that its current leased facilities will be sufficient to meet 
its needs for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party
to or to which any of its property is subject.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997 other than the election of nominees to the Company's
Board of Directors and approval of an amendment to the 1993 Incentive Plan,
increasing by 300,000 the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the
plan.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Presently, the Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the
symbol "IMSI(R)." Historically, trading volume of the Common Stock has been very
small and the market for the Common Stock has been materially less liquid than
that of most other publicly traded companies. Significant sales of Common Stock
by officers and directors or other shareholders could have an adverse effect on

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

IMSI(R) achieved record revenues and profitablility in fiscal 1997. Net revenues
were $41,839,795 in fiscal 1997 compared to $25,679,017 in fiscal 1996 and net
income of $2,596,503 or $.47 per share in fiscal 1997 compared to $953,572 or
$.18 per share in fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1997, IMSI(R) introduced several new
products designed for the corporate user, as well as new consumer products
including MasterClips(R) 150,000 Premium Image Collection, which continued the
success of the Company's MasterClips(R) line of desktop publishing and
electronic art products and upgrades to the Company's flagship computer-aided
design and drafting software, TurboCAD(R). The Company's fiscal 1997 results are
reflective of these new product introductions, its ongoing investment in the
Company's core technologies, its expanded international presence and continued
strength in the retail channel.

NET REVENUES

Net revenues were $41,839,795, $25,679,017 and $20,300,361 in fiscal 1997, 1996,
and 1995 respectively. This represented a 63% increase in fiscal 1997 revenue
over fiscal 1996 and a 27% increase in fiscal 1996 over fiscal 1995. Increased
sales in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996 were primarily the result of a 112%
increase in retail channel sales with a decrease of 38% in direct mail sales. 
The increased sales in fiscal 1996 compared with fiscal 1995 was primarily due 
to a 41% increase in retail channel sales, in combination with an increase of 
4% in direct mail sales.

Net revenues from retail channel were $36,607,000 or 87% of total revenues,
compared to $17,265,000 or 67%, and $12,202,000 or 60% in fiscal 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Net revenues from direct mail sales were $5,336,000,
$5,233,000 and $8,098,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Approximately 68%, 65%, and 48% of the Company's total net revenues in fiscal
1997, 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively, were comprised of the TurboCAD(R) and
MasterClips(R) product lines.

International net revenues accounted for $17,208,000, or 41% of total net
revenues in fiscal 1997, compared to $8,614,000 or 34%, and $7,399,000 or 36% in
fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increases in international net revenues
over the previous periods were primarily the result of increased sales through
distribution channels, as well as continued penetration into international
markets where the Company had no prior presence.

PRODUCT COSTS

Product costs were $16,893,342 or 40%, $8,261,583 or 32%, and $7,143,795 or 35%
of net revenues in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively. The increase in
product cost as a percentage of revenue from fiscal 1996 to 1997 is attributed
to a shift from direct mail to retail channel sales. This is due to the pricing
structure associated with selling directly to consumers, compared to sales
through software distributors. During fiscal 1995, the Company reevaluated and
changed the economic lives of capitalized software acquisition and development
costs. Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 1995, the Company reduced the
amortization period from 36 months to 18 months, resulting in additional
amortization of approximately $500,000 during fiscal 1995. Amortization of
capitalized software development costs and software acquisition costs charged to
product costs were $357,886, $375,206 and $939,507 for fiscal 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. As a result of the shift from direct mail sales to retail
channel




                                       11
<PAGE>   12

sales, and the acceleration of amortization costs in fiscal 1995, gross margins
were 60% in fiscal 1997, compared to 68% and 65% in fiscal 1996 and 1995
respectively.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expenses were $12,025,941 or 29%, $9,888,558 or 39%, and
$8,918,867 or 44% of net revenue for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively.
The decrease in fiscal 1997 sales and marketing expenses as a percent of net
revenues was primarily a result of increased revenue in channel sales and
decreased direct mail personnel and direct mail promotional activities compared
to fiscal 1996. The decrease in fiscal 1996 sales and marketing expenses as a
percentage of net revenues was primarily a result of decreased direct mail
personnel and direct mail promotional activities from fiscal 1995. There were
76, 57 and 35 sales and marketing personnel at June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
Direct mail sales expenses comprised 10%, 46%, and 61% of total sales and
marketing expenses in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease in
direct mail sales expense was primarily a result of the Company's decision to
focus its operations upon retail channel sales.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses were $3,987,747 or 10%, $2,556,757 or 10%,
and $2,456,990 or 12% of net revenues for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995
respectively. General and administrative absolute dollar expenses increased in
fiscal 1997 as a result of increased personnel hiring due to company growth
domestically and internationally. The Company had 59, 32 and 31 administrative
personnel at June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses were $4,565,334 or 11%, $3,170,937 or 12%, and
$2,151,069 or 11% of net revenues for fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995 respectively.
The increase in absolute dollars is due to domestic headcount increases,
utilization of additional software development contractors in Russia and other
third party development costs resulting from a large fiscal 1997 product release
schedule. The decrease in percent of sales is due to the Company's growth in
revenue.

At June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 the Company had 80, 41, and 28 research and
development employees, respectively. In addition, the Company uses independent
research and development contractors located in Russia. The additional
contractors hired were primarily engaged both in enhancing and modifying
products that the Company has acquired from third parties as well as developing
new products internally. For fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company capitalized
software acquisition and development costs of $43,697, $402,469 and $191,460
respectively. The amortization of such costs is included in product costs.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

Other expense was $130,033, $262,374, and $53,925 for fiscal 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Other expense is comprised primarily of interest expense on
short and long-term borrowings and foreign currency transaction gains and
losses. In fiscal 1997 there was $34,226 of foreign exchange gain and $164,259
of interest expense compared to $81,879 foreign exchange loss and $180,495 of
interest expense in fiscal 1996.



                                       12

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's provision for income tax was $1,640,895, $585,236 and $10,548 for
fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company's effective income tax
rate was 39%, 38%, and 2% in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal 1995 was reduced due to the
non-deductibility of significant charges in 1995 for write-offs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its business primarily from cash flows from operations,
short-term bank borrowings, and proceeds from the sale of stock. Working capital
increased to $7,334,515 at June 30, 1997 from $3,092,310 at June 30, 1996,
resulting primarily from growth in receivables and inventories related to
increased retail channel sales, offset by an increase in accounts payable and
contracts payable.

The Company used cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings to
fund its working capital requirements (including income tax payments of
$1,910,447 in fiscal 1997) and to acquire software products and furniture and
equipment. The Company's operating activities used net cash of $486,114, and
provided net cash of $716,657 and $277,553 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company's investing activities used cash of $367,566,
$1,089,135, and $598,339 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. These
expenditures were primarily for the acquisition and development of software,
trademarks and the purchase of additional office equipment. At June 30, 1997,
the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. Net cash
proceeds provided by financing activities was $1,592,316, $236,649 and $322,840
in fiscal 1997, fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively. Fiscal 1997 cash
inflows from financing activities included term loan borrowings of $1,476,249
and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $480,638.

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank under which
it can borrow the lesser of $2,500,000 or 25% of eligible inventory up to a cap
of $500,000 and 80% of eligible accounts receivable, at the bank's index rate
(8.50% at June 30, 1997). The amount of the unused credit line at June 30, 1997
was $2,500,000. The line of credit agreement requires the Company to maintain
certain financial ratios including net worth and working capital. Under terms of
the agreement, all assets not subject to liens of other financial institutions
have been pledged as collateral against the line of credit. The credit line
expires October 31, 1997. Management believes that the Company will be able to
renew or replace such credit agreement with the bank or another financial
institution on substantially similar terms.

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, significant
fluctuations in operating results due to a variety of factors, including the
size and rate of growth of the consumer software market, market acceptance of
the Company's products and those of its competitors, development and promotional
expenses relating to the introduction of new products or new versions of
existing products, projected and actual changes in computing platforms, the
timing and success of product introductions, product returns, changes in pricing
policies by the Company and its competitors, difficulty in securing retail shelf
space for the Company's products, the accuracy of retailers' forecasts of
consumer demand, the timing of orders from major products, order cancellations
and delays in shipment. In response to competitive pressures, the Company may
take certain pricing or marketing actions that could materially adversely affect
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. The Company
may be required to pay fees in advance or to guarantee royalties, which may be
substantial, or to obtain licenses to intellectual properties from third parties
before such properties have been introduced or achieved market acceptance. A
significant portion of the Company's operating expenses is relatively fixed, and
planned expenditures are based in part on sales forecasts. If net sales do not
meet the Company's expectations, the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.




                                       13
<PAGE>   14


The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with existing
sources of liquidity, will satisfy the Company's working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company
believes that these sources will also be sufficient to satisfy its working
capital and capital expenditure requirements beyond the next 12 months at the
Company's current level of operations. The Company's long term goal, however, is
to grow substantially. Expansion of the Company's current business may involve
significant financial risk and require significant capital investment.
Significant expansion of the Company's operations, future acquisitions of
products or companies, unexpected increases in expenses or other factors might
lead the Company to seek additional debt or equity financing. While the Company
believes it will be able to raise any necessary funds, there can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to do so, and failure to obtain
sufficient capital could have a material adverse effect on the Company or
adversely affect the Company's ability to continue to grow. In order to finance
future growth or for other reasons, the Company may consider an offering of its
equity securities within the next year or thereafter. The decision to undertake
such an offering, and the size of such an offering, would depend upon many
factors, such as the market price of the common stock, the working capital and
capital expenditure needs of the Company, the availability of alternative
sources of capital, and general market conditions.

FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS. The company has experienced and may in the
future experience significant quarterly and annual fluctuations in revenues and
results of operations. The Company's revenues and results of operations
fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors which include acceptance of the
Company's products, the amount of revenue generated from products which require
third party royalty payments, changes in product mix, competitive conditions in
the industry and general economic conditions. Furthermore, the revenue growth
rates experienced during fiscal 1997 may not continue into fiscal 1998 and
beyond. Shortfalls in revenues or earnings from levels expected by the financial
market could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading
price of the Company's common stock.

Future operating results will continue to heavily depend on the level of
software sales. Although the Company experienced growth during fiscal years 1997
and 1996, 1995 did show a loss. Due to the acceptance and demand associated with
the Company's software products, revenues are difficult to forecast and may
fluctuate dramatically between reporting periods. Future prices the Company will
be able to obtain for its software products may decrease from historical levels
depending on competitive factors. There can be no assurances that the Company
will continue the software revenue growth trend experienced in fiscal 1997 or 
that the Company will achieve historical levels of software revenue.

The Company plans to increase its presence in international markets. Risks
associated with such pursuits include, but are not limited to, the following:
changing market demands, economic and political conditions in foreign markets,
foreign exchange fluctuations, longer collections cycles and changes in
international tax laws. During fiscal 1997, the Company experienced an increase
in revenues in all international subsidiaries. There can be no assurances that 
the Company's international subsidiaries will continue to increase.

The Company generates revenue from internally developed software products, some
of which utilize technology licensed from third parties. The Company expects to
continue utilizing third party technology and may enter into agreements with
additional business partners. If sales of software utilizing third party
technology increase disproportionately, operating income as a percent of revenue
may be below historical levels due to third party royalty obligations. There can
be no assurances that the third parties will renew or not cancel existing
agreements with the Company or require financial conditions which are
unfavorable to the Company.




                                       14
<PAGE>   15

The Company expects product development expenses to grow in future periods to
fund development efforts on new and existing products. However, there can be no
assurances that revenues will be sufficient to support the future product
development which is required for the Company to be competitive. Although the
Company may be able to release new products in addition to enhancements to
existing products, there can be no assurances that the Company's new or upgraded
products will be accepted, will not be delayed or canceled, or will not contain
errors or "bugs" that could affect the performance of the product or cause
damage to users' data.

The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to increase in the future as
the Company releases and promotes new products, increases promotions of existing
product lines and continues to build its sales force. However, because of the
lengthy sales cycle associated with software applications, the Company believes
that the impact of these activities, if any, on future license revenues will not
be immediate and there can be no assurances that increased sales, business and
consumer, and marketing expenditures will result in increased revenues.

COMPETITION. The business and consumer software market is intensely competitive
and rapidly changing. A number of competitors offer products similar to the
Company's products and target the same customers. The Company believes that its
ability to compete depends upon many factors within and outside its control,
including the timing and market acceptance of new products and enhancements
developed by the Company and its competitors, product functionality,
performance, price, reliability, customer service and support, sales and
marketing efforts and product distribution. The Company has many competitors
including Visio Corporation, Learning Company, Inc., Autodesk, Inc., Corel
Corporation, Broderbund Software, Inc., and Expert Software, Inc. The Company's
products also compete with products offered by other vendors, with systems
integrators and with consulting companies that offer custom software development
services. In addition, the Company competes with in-house management information
services and programming resources of its potential customers. Many of the
Company's competitors have substantially greater financial, technical marketing
and sales resources than the Company. Some of these competitors also offer
business application products not offered by the Company. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future.

RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. The software industry is characterized by rapid
technological change. The pace of change has accelerated due to advances in
mainframe and client/server technology and the growth in internet, intranet and
extranet utilization. The Company expects to evaluate potential opportunities
and may invest in those which are compatible with the Company's strategic
direction. However, there can be no assurances that any such investments will be
profitable. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the
emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete.
Accordingly, the Company's future success will depend in part upon its ability
to continue to enhance its current products and to develop and introduce new
products that respond to evolving customer requirements and keep pace with
technological development and emerging industry standards, such as new operating
systems, hardware platforms, interfaces and third party applications software.
There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in developing and
marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological
change, changes in customer requirements or emerging industry standards, that
the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the
successful development, introduction and marketing of such products and
enhancements, or that any new products or enhancements that it may introduce
will achieve market acceptance.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. The Company regards its products as proprietary. Through its
license agreements with customers and its internal security systems,
confidentiality procedures and employee agreements, the Company has taken steps
to maintain the trade secrecy of its products. However, there can be no
assurances that misappropriation will not occur. In addition, the laws of some
countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same extent as
do the laws of the United States.




                                       15
<PAGE>   16


The Company is not aware of any claims that its products infringe on the
proprietary rights of third parties, however, there can be no assurances that
third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the
future with respect to current or future products or that any such assertions
may not require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result in
costly litigation.

EMPLOYEES. The Company's success depends on a number of its key employees. The
loss of the services of the Company's key employees could have a material
adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes that its future success will
also depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain highly-skilled
technical and management personnel. Competition for such personnel in the
software industry is intense and the supply is limited. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining such
personnel.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). The
Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the December 31, 1997 quarter and will
restate at that time earnings per share (EPS) data for prior periods to conform
with SFAS 128. Earlier application is not permitted.

SFAS 128 replaces current EPS reporting requirements and requires a dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock.

If SFAS 128 had been in effect during the current and prior year periods, basic
EPS would have been $0.53, $0.20, and $(0.09) for fiscal years ended June 30,
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Diluted EPS under SFAS 128 would not have
been significantly different than fully diluted EPS currently reported for the
periods.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (Reporting Comprehensive Income), which
requires that an enterprise report, by major components and as a single total,
the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources; and No.
131 (Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information), which
establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's operating
segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas,
and major customers. Adoption of these statements will not impact the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and any
effect will be limited to the form and content of its disclosures. Both
statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
with earlier application permitted.

QUARTERLY TRENDS

The Company's consolidated results of operations to date have not been
materially affected by seasonal trends. However, the Company believes that in
the future its results may be impacted by such factors as order deferrals in
anticipation of new product releases, delays in shipments of new products, a
slower growth rate in the software markets in which the Company operates, or
adverse general economic and industry conditions in any of the countries in
which the Company does business. In addition, with significant portions of net
revenues contributed by international operations, fluctuations of the U.S.
dollar against foreign currencies and the seasonality of the European,
Asia/Pacific, and other international markets could impact the Company's results
of operations and financial position in a particular quarter. Rapid
technological change and the Company's ability to develop, manufacture, and
market products that successfully adapt to the change may also impact results of
operations. Further, increased market competition from competitors either known
or unknown to the Company could also




                                       16
<PAGE>   17

negatively impact the Company's results of operations. Due to these factors, the
Company's future earnings and stock price may by subject to significant
volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. Any shortfall in revenues or
earnings from anticipated levels could have an immediate and adverse effect on
the trading price of the Company's common stock.

Financial Statements and the financial statement schedule are attached as an

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On December 20, 1995, the Company terminated Coopers & Lybrand LLP as
independent auditors for the Company. Coopers & Lybrand provided the Company
with a letter dated November 1, 1995 which explained that because of
independence concerns arising from the recent hiring by the Company of a new
employee who had a family relationship to a member of Coopers & Lybrand's San
Francisco office, it was transferring responsibility for the audit of the
Company from the San Francisco office to the Portland office. Coopers &
Lybrand's reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of
and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995 did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and the reports were not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision
to change accountants was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. During
the Company's two prior fiscal years (June 30, 1994 and 1995) and subsequent
interim period (through December 20, 1995), there have been no disagreements
with Coopers & Lybrand on any matter of accounting principles or practice,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Coopers & Lybrand, would have caused Coopers &
Lybrand to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report. During the Company's two prior fiscal years (June
30, 1994 and 1995) and subsequent interim period (through December 20, 1995),
there did not occur any kind of event listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A) through
(D) of Regulation S-K, Item 304.

Effective December 20, 1995, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as
independent auditors to audit the Company's financial statements for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996. During the Company's two prior fiscal years (1994 and
1995) and subsequent interim period (through December 20, 1995), neither the
Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company consulted Deloitte &
Touche regarding (i) either: the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (ii)
any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in
paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, Item 304 and the related instructions)
or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K,
Item 304).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
International Microcomputer Software, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International
Microcomputer Software, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30,
1997 and 1996 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule for the fiscal years ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, listed in the Index at Item 14(a) 2. These financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedule 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, such fiscal 1997 and 1996 consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
International Microcomputer Software, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997
and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
fiscal years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the 1997 and 1996 financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (IMSI(R) or the "Company") was
incorporated in California in November 1982. The Company has wholly-owned
subsidiaries located in Munich, Germany; Sydney, Australia; London, England;
Johannesburg, South Africa; Paris, France and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Company develops and publishes premium productivity software for corporate,
business and home markets sold through a network of dealers and distributors.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IMSI(R) and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates used in the consolidated financial statements include the
estimates of (i) anticipated future gross revenues from products for which
software development costs have been capitalized, (ii) provision for income
taxes, (iii) the life of identifiable intangible assets from acquisitions, and
(iv) realizability of the deferred tax asset. The amounts the Company will
ultimately incur or recover could differ materially from the Company's current
estimates. The underlying assumptions and facts supporting these estimates could
change in fiscal 1998 or thereafter.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue, net of estimated returns and allowances, upon
shipment of a product and only when no significant obligations remain and
collectability is probable. Certain of the Company's sales are made to customers
under agreements permitting rights of return for stock balancing.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company sells its products principally through a network of distributors and
also on a direct customer basis. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its distributors and customers' financial condition and generally requires no
collateral.



                                       31
<PAGE>   32



ROYALTY AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into certain agreements whereby it is obligated to pay
royalties on software published. Software royalties are expensed as product
costs during the period in which related revenues are recorded.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Costs incurred in the initial design phase of software development are expensed
as incurred as research and development. Once the point of technological
feasibility is reached, direct production costs (programming and testing) are
capitalized. Costs associated with acquired completed software are capitalized.
Total capitalized software development costs at June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995
were $2,056,304, $2,012,607 and $1,610,138 respectively, less accumulated
amortization of $1,964,601, $1,740,505 and $1,365,299, respectively. Capitalized
costs are being amortized ratably, as revenues are recognized, but not less than
on the straight-line basis over an eighteen-month period.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, due to rapid technology
enhancements, the Company reevaluated the economic lives of products for which
it capitalized software acquisition or development costs. As a result, beginning
with the quarter ending March 31, 1995, the Company reduced the amortization
period from 36 to 18 months. Amortization expense, charged to product costs, was
$224,096, $375,206 and $939,507 in fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company evaluates the estimated net realizable value of each
software product at each balance sheet date and records writedowns to net
realizable value for any products for which the carrying value is in excess of
the net estimated realizable value.

INVENTORIES

Inventories, consisting primarily of diskettes, manuals, hardware, freight in,
production costs and packing supplies, are valued at the lower of cost or market
and are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis.

FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture and
equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the respective assets of 3 to 5 years. Depreciation of software and
computer equipment is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated
useful life of 3 years.



                                       32
<PAGE>   33



INCOME TAXES

The Company adheres to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The asset and liability accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated from
their respective functional currencies at the rates in effect at the balance
sheet date, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at weighted average
rates during the periods. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reflected
as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The gain resulting from foreign
currency transactions was $34,226 in fiscal 1997, a loss in fiscal 1996 of
$81,879, and was not material in fiscal 1995.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the
periods.

In December 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 3 for 2 stock
split in the form of a stock dividend. The stock split was payable to
shareholders of record on December 25, 1996 and was effective and distributed to
shareholders on January 24, 1997. All share information in the consolidated
financial statements have been restated to give retroactive recognition to the
stock split.




                                       33

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128
"Earnings per Share". The Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the December
31, 1997 quarter and will restate at that time earnings per share (EPS) data for
prior periods to conform with SFAS 128. Earlier application is not permitted.

SFAS 128 replaces current EPS reporting requirements and requires a dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock.

If SFAS 128 had been in effect during the current and prior year periods, basic
EPS would have been $0.53, $0.20, and $(0.09) for fiscal years ended June 30,
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Diluted EPS under SFAS 128 would not have
been significantly different than fully diluted EPS currently reported for the
periods.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 130
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires that an enterprise report, by
major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the
period from nonowner sources; and No. 131 ("Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information"), which establishes annual and interim
reporting standards for an enterprise's operating segments and related
disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas, and major customers.
Adoption of these statements will not impact the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and any effect will be
limited to the form and content of its disclosures. Both statements are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier
application permitted.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain fiscal 1996 and 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
fiscal 1997 presentation.

5.  LONG TERM DEBT AND BANK CREDIT LINE

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank under which
it can borrow the lesser of $2,500,000 or 25% of eligible inventory up to a cap
of $500,000 and 80% of eligible accounts receivable, at the bank's index rate
(8.50% at June 30, 1997). The amount of the unused credit line at June 30, 1997
was $2,500,000. The line of credit agreement requires the Company to maintain
certain financial ratios including net worth and working capital. Under terms of
the agreement, all assets not subject to liens of other financial institutions
have been pledged as collateral against the line of credit. The credit line
expires October 31, 1997. Management believes that the Company will be able to
renew or replace such credit agreement with the bank or another financial
institution on substantially similar terms.

In September 1995, the Company entered into a term loan for $675,000 payable
over a three year period in equal monthly installments at an annual rate of 1
percent over the bank's prime rate (9.50% at June 30, 1997).

In June 1997, the Company entered into a term loan for $1.5 million, payable
over a three-year period in equal monthly installments at an annual rate of 1/4
percent over the bank's index rate (8.75% at June 30, 1997).

As of June 30, 1997, principal repayments on the term loans under these credit
agreements are required as follows:

ADDITIONAL STOCK PLAN INFORMATION

As discussed in Note 1, the Company continues to account for its stock-based
awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related
interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the
financial statements for employee stock arrangements. SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the disclosure of pro forma net income
and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method as of the
beginning of fiscal 1996. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards
to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though
such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully
transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ
from the Company's stock option awards. These models also require subjective
assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to
exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Company's calculations
were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions: expected life, 24 months following vesting; stock
volatility, 72% in 1997 and 73% in 1996; risk free interest rates, 6.70% in 1997
and 6.61% in 1996; and no dividends during the expected term. The Company's
calculations are based on a multiple option valuation approach and forfeitures
are recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values of the 1997 and 1996
awards had been amortized to expense over the vesting period of the awards, pro
forma net income would have been $2,073,869 ($.37 per share) in 1997 and
$648,549 ($.12 per share) in 1996. However, the impact of outstanding non-vested
stock options granted prior to 1996 has been excluded from the pro forma
calculation; accordingly, the 1997 and 1996 pro forma adjustments are not
indicative of future period pro forma adjustments, when the calculation will
apply to all applicable stock options.
