                         BITSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The condensed consolidated financial statements of Bitstream Inc. (the
"Company" or "Bitstream") presented herein, without audit, have been prepared
pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and
footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The
balance sheet information at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements. These statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for the period ended December 31, 1999 included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K, which was filed by the Company with the SEC on March 30, 2000.

    The balance sheet as of September 30, 2000, the statements of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the statements of
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the notes
to each thereof are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its
subsidiaries for these interim periods.

    The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Bitstream World Trade, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation), a holding company for Bitstream, B.V. (a Dutch
corporation); Mainstream Software Solutions Ltd. (an English corporation); Type
Solutions, Inc. (a New Hampshire Corporation); Archetype, Inc. (a Delaware
corporation); Pageflex, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Myfonts.com, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation). All material inter-company transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain reclassifications were made to the statements of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 to conform to the
presentation of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Specifically, net bad debt recoveries of $15,000 and $201,000 for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 were subtracted from sales and
marketing expense (thereby increasing this expense) and added to general and
administrative expense (thereby decreasing this expense). These
reclassifications did not impact total operating loss or net loss for the three
months or nine months ended September 30, 1999.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, REVENUE
RECOGNITION, in December 1999. In March 2000 and June 2000, the SEC issued SAB
No. 101A and 101B, respectively, which delayed the implementation date of SAB
No. 101. The Company is required to adopt this new accounting guidance through a
cumulative charge to operations, in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 20,
ACCOUNTING CHANGES, no later than the fourth quarter of this year. The Company
believes that the adoption of the guidance provided in SAB No. 101 will not have
a material impact on future operating results.

      In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING STOCK
COMPENSATION - AN INTERPRETATION OF APB OPINION NO. 25, (FIN 44). FIN 44
clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 including the definition of an
employee, the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
non-compensatory plan, the accounting consequences of various modifications to
the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards, and the accounting for an
exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. The Company has
adopted FIN 44, which will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial
instruments and hedging activities and requires the Company to recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure
them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value
would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it
is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB
issued SFAS 137, which deferred the implementation of SFAS 133. In June 2000,
the FASB issued SFAS 138, which amends SFAS 133 with regards to specific
hedging risks, foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities, and
intercompany derivatives. The Company has adopted SFAS 133, as amended by
SFAS 138, which will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

(2) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

      Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Property and equipment consists of the following (in

(3) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    SFAS No. 105. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT
RISK, requires disclosure of any significant off-balance sheet and credit risk
concentrations. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments in
several financial institutions. The Company has not experienced significant
losses related to receivables from any individual customers or groups of
customers in any specific industry or by geographic area. Due to these factors,
no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is
believed by management to be inherent in the Company's accounts receivable. At
September 30, 2000, one customer accounted for 12% of the Company's accounts
receivable. At December 31, 1999, two customers accounted for 14% and 11%,
respectively, of the Company's accounts receivable. For the three months ended
September 30, 2000, one customer accounted for 11% of the Company's revenue. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, one customer accounted for 12% of the
Company's revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, three
customers represented 30%, 19%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company's
revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, three customers
represented 15%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's revenues.

    Furthermore, for the three months ended September 30, 2000, one customer of
the Company's type and technology segment accounted for 16% of the revenue for
that segment, and three customers of the on-demand marketing segment accounted
for 32%, 15% and 14%, respectively, of that segment's revenue. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, no customers of the Company's type and
technology segment accounted for more than 10% of the revenue for that segment,
while two customers of the on-demand marketing segment accounted for 42% and
16%, respectively, of that segment's revenue. For the three months ended
September 30, 1999, one customer of the Company's type and technology segment
accounted for 35% of the revenue for that segment, and two customers of the
on-demand marketing segment accounted for 64% and 22%, respectively, of that
segment's revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, one customer of
the Company's type and technology segment accounted for 15% of the revenue for
that segment, and four customers of the on-demand marketing segment accounted
for 46%, 26%, 13%, and 12%, respectively, of that segment's revenue.

 (4) ACCRUED EXPENSES

     Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands):

                                                 ======         ======

(5)        RESTRICTED CASH

     The Company has guaranteed $300,000 of debt for DiamondSoft, Inc. in a
revolving line of credit agreement between DiamondSoft, Inc. and Wells Fargo
Bank. This $300,000 guarantee is in the form of a letter of credit secured by
cash on deposit with Wells Fargo Bank. DiamondSoft, Inc. is a California
corporation primarily engaged in the business of developing, marketing and
distributing software tools to a variety of professional markets in which the
Company has a 25% ownership interest.


(6)  LOSS PER SHARE (IN THOUSANDS)

     In accordance with SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, basic earnings per
share was determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of
common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per
share reflect dilution from potentially dilutive securities, primarily stock
options based on the treasury stock method. In computing diluted earnings per
share, common stock equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net
loss is reported as the inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents
would be antidilutive. Thus potential common shares were not included for the
three months or nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 or 1999. Had the
numerator been a profit, the potential common shares would have increased the
weighted average shares outstanding by 1,543 and 416 shares for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and by 2,003 and 538 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, there
were warrants and options to purchase 235 and 2,029 shares for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 116 and 1,148 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively that were not included in
the potential common share computations because their exercise prices were
greater than the market price of the Company's common stock. These common stock
equivalents are antidilutive even when a profit is reported in the numerator.

(7) SEGMENT REPORTING

      The Company's chief decision-maker, as defined under SFAS No. 131,
DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, is the
Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined it has three reportable
segments: (i) a type and technology segment; (ii) an on-demand marketing segment
and (iii) an e-commerce initiative for selling fonts over the Internet. The
Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that sell the
Company's products through distinct distribution channels. They are managed
separately as each business requires different marketing strategies. The
Company's approach is based on the way that management organizes the segments
within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
The e-commerce segment's revenues include revenue from products it purchases
from the type and technology segment. The inter-segment revenues created by
these transactions have been eliminated from both the segmented revenue below,
as well as the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company
evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income
taxes, not including non-recurring gains and losses. The following tables set
forth interim period disclosure by business segments as required by SFAS No.
131. (in thousands):

    The decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999 was attributable to a
decrease in revenue from the on-demand marketing business segment of $651,
partially offset by increases in revenues from the type and technology and
E-commerce business segments of $197 and $7, respectively. The increase in
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 was attributable to increases in the type and
technology and E-commerce business segments of $305 and $9, respectively,
partially offset by a decrease in the on-demand marketing segment of $225. These
segments are discussed in more detail below.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

TYPE AND TECHNOLOGY REVENUES, CONTINUED:

     The increase in type and technology license revenues for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 versus the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was due to increases in new OEM technology licensing,
including the Company's Font Fusion product, of $280 and $755, respectively, and
from increases in reseller sales of $47 and $138, respectively. These increases
were partially offset by decreases in retail sales of $10 and $204 for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. Service revenue
decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 because the
Company generated significant non-recurring service revenues from designing the
"Euro" currency typeface into specific customer fonts during the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1999, which was not repeated in 2000.


E-COMMERCE (MYFONTS.COM) REVENUES:

     The Myfonts.com e-commerce web site was officially unveiled during the
first quarter of 2000. This segment recorded revenue during the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 of $7 and $9, respectively. This amount is
net of inter-segment profits recorded by Bitstream totaling $13 and $19,
respectively.

</TABLE>

    The Company began shipping its on-demand marketing products during the first
quarter of 1999. The decrease in license revenue for the on-demand marketing
segment for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1999 was attributable to decreases in OEM licensing
fees from an existing long-term contract with Atex Media Solutions, Inc.
("Atex") of $520 and license revenue from the Company's Mpower product of $6.
These decreases were partially offset by increases in license revenue from the
Company's Persona product of $103.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

ON-DEMAND MARKETING REVENUES, CONTINUED:

      The decreases in license revenue for the on-demand marketing segment for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was primarily the result of a one-time $555 license fee from
Inso Providence Corporation during the three months ended March 31, 1999, and a
decrease in OEM licensing fees from an existing long-term contract with Atex of
$169. These decreases were partially offset by increases in license revenue from
the Company's Mpower and Persona products of $183 and $103, respectively.

     Revenue from services decreased for the three months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999 due to decreases
in OEM development fees from an existing long-term contract with Atex of $100
and decreases in consulting and development services to one customer during the
three months ended September 30, 1999 totaling $158 offset by an increase in
miscellaneous Mpower related services of $30 during the three months ended
September 30, 2000. Revenue from services increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999 due
to increases in Mpower related consulting fees of $124,000, partially offset by
a decrease in OEM development fees from Atex of $10,000.

</TABLE>

     The decrease in the gross profit for the three months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999 is attributable to
the decreases in revenue for the on-demand marketing business described above
which generated a $618 decrease which was partially offset by increases in gross
profit from the type and technology and E-commerce segments of $248 and $4,
respectively, during these periods. The increase in the gross profit for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 is primarily due to increases in gross profit from the type
and technology and E-commerce segments of $593 and $6, respectively. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in the gross margin generated by
the on-demand marketing segment of $401 resulting from the decrease in revenue.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased because revenue from
licenses increased as a percentage of total revenue, while revenue from services
decreased. The costs associated with generating service revenues are generally
higher than those associated with generating license revenues.

     Cost of revenue is composed of direct costs of licenses, as well as direct
costs of product sales to end-users. Included in the cost of licenses are fees
paid to third parties for the development or license of rights to technology
and/or unique typeface designs and costs incurred in the fulfillment of custom
orders from OEM and ISV customers. Included in cost of product sales to end
users and distributors are the direct costs associated with the duplication,
packaging and shipping of product.

    Selling and marketing expenses for the type and technology segment decreased
$183 and $339, respectively, during the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 to $394 and $1,196. These decreases were mostly attributable
to reductions in the number of type and technology marketing personnel. Selling
and marketing costs associated with the on-demand marketing segment decreased
$149 from $651 to $502 and $75 from $1,707 to $1,632, respectively during the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1999. Salaries and headcount related
expenses accounted for $40 of the decrease for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to three months ended September 30, 1999. The balance of
the decrease of $103 was attributable to advertising, marketing, and costs to
hire a marketing consulting firm for the launch of the Company's Mpower product
during 1999, which were not repeated in 2000. These product launch costs also
accounted for $327 of the decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2000
as compared to nine months ended September 30, 1999. This decrease was partially
offset by salary and headcount related expense increases of $218 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1999. This increase was attributable to the addition of the sales and
marketing infrastructure necessary to promote its on-demand marketing products
during the latter part of the year ended December 31, 1999 and the beginning of
the year ending December 31, 2000.

increased $105 to $1,300 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999. These increases were
attributable to the reassignment of engineers who were working on customer

     The R&D expenses for Myfonts.com, the Company's e-commerce initiative,
increased $2 to $83 during the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
increased $136 to $281 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These
increases are attributable to the hiring of two software engineers in the third
quarter of 1999 and all the headcount related costs associated with such
engineers.

     R&D costs associated with the on-demand marketing segment decreased $101
and $265, respectively, from $748 and $2,373 during the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 to $647 and $2,108 during the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2000. These decreases were attributable to
decreases in the headcount and costs associated with outside engineering
consultants for R&D during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

INCOME ON INVESTMENT IN DIAMONDSOFT, INC.:

     The Company made a $500 equity investment in DiamondSoft, Inc. on March 13,
1998, representing a 25% ownership interest. DiamondSoft, Inc. is a California
corporation primarily engaged in the business of developing, marketing and
distributing software tools to a variety of professional markets. The Company's
prorata share of DiamondSoft's income or (loss) was $(10) and $18 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $1 and $11 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

OTHER INCOME, NET:

     Other income consists primarily of interest income earned. Interest income
decreased $33 from $150 to $117 and $147 from $502 to $355, respectively, during
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 versus the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1999. The decreases are primarily
attributable to decreases in the amount of cash available for investment.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

    The Company's income tax expense for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 is predominantly attributable to foreign income taxes.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company has funded its operations primarily through the public sale of
equity securities, cash flows from operations and cash received from the sale of
the Company's MediaBank and InterSep OPI product lines to Inso Providence
Corporation in August of 1998. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had net
working capital of $8,149 versus $9,668 at December 31, 1999.

     The Company used approximately $1,513 of its cash to fund its operating
activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $4,006
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The cash used during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 was primarily used to fund the net losses from
the on-demand marketing and Myfonts.com businesses, partially offset by the
income from the type and technology business.

      The Company used approximately $509 and $342 of its cash for investing
activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, primarily for the purchase of property and equipment. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, cash was used by the $300 increase in
long-term restricted cash for the guarantee of DiamondSoft's revolving line of
credit. The Company's financing activities provided cash of $462 and $270 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The cash
provided during both of these periods was primarily attributable to the exercise
of stock options.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED:

    The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalents will be
sufficient to meet the Company's operating and capital requirements for at least
the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will
not require additional financing in the future. If the Company were required to
obtain additional financing, there can be no assurance that additional capital
will be available on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.

    As of September 30, 2000 the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures. From time to time, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions of
products, businesses and technologies that may complement or expand the
Company's business. Any such transactions consummated may use a portion of the
Company's working capital or require the issuance of equity or debt.

                            IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE - made pursuant to the Year 2000 Information
and Readiness Disclosure Act, Pub. L. No. 105-271 (1998).

     As of November 9, 2000, the Company has not experienced any material Year
2000 related disruptions in its operations. During 1999, the Company completed
testing of its current software products, engaged in conducting a Year 2000
readiness audit of its internal IT and non-IT systems (including
telecommunication, facilities management, safety and security systems) and
received assurances from third party component and software providers of their
Year 2000 readiness. These procedures were more fully described by the Company
in its 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2000.
The expenses incurred to date have not had a material impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition. At this time, the Company believes
that most Year 2000 problems should have become evident and does not believe
that it will have additional Year 2000 expenses, but will fund any unanticipated
expenses through cash flows from operations.

PART 1, ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE
COMMODITY INSTRUMENTS.

     As of September 30, 2000, the Company did not participate in any derivative
financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which
fair value disclosure would be required under SFAS No. 107. All of the Company's
investments are short-term, investment-grade commercial paper, and money market
accounts that are carried on the Company's books at amortized cost, which
approximates fair market value. Accordingly, the Company has no quantitative
information concerning the market risk of participating in such investments.

PRIMARY MARKET RISK EXPOSURES.

     The Company's primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest
rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company's investment
portfolio of cash equivalent and short-term investments is subject to interest
rate fluctuations, but the Company believes this risk is immaterial due to the
short-term nature of these investments.

     The Company's exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations has been and
is expected to continue to be modest due to the fact that the operations of its
international subsidiaries are almost exclusively conducted in their respective
local currencies. International subsidiary operating results are translated into
U.S. dollars and consolidated for reporting purposes. The impact of currency
exchange rate movements on inter-company transactions was immaterial for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Currently, the Company
does not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.

         invested in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.
