A.   FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     The accompanying audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
Company believes the disclosures included in the condensed consolidated
financial statements, when read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997, are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.


B.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding for each period presented. Diluted loss per
share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effect of potential common
stock in each period presented is antidilutive.


C.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES - REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1998, the Company
adopted Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2")
which requires that revenue for licensing, selling, leasing, or otherwise
marketing computer software be recognized when certain criteria are met. The
Company does not expect the effect of adopting SOP 97-2 to have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements given the Company's policy of
utilizing standard contracts and allocating revenue to each element in a given
contract based on an established price list.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
presented here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and those
discussed in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997,
particularly those contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

     Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased 21% to $2.5
million from $2.1 million reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
reflecting an increase in all revenue categories. License fees increased 17% to
$721,000 for the first quarter of 1998 from $614,000 reported in the first
quarter of 1997. Increased license fees in 1998 as compared to 1997 are
attributed to new license contracts in North America, partially offset by a
decrease in new license contracts in Europe and the Asia Pacific. Royalties
increased 28%, growing to $979,000 for the first quarter of 1998 from $797,000
reported for the same quarter in 1997. Maintenance and other revenue increased
16% to $821,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $709,000
reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. International revenue decreased
12% and represented 39% of total revenue for the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to 53% for the first quarter of 1997. Decreased international revenue
is primarily attributed to economic conditions in Asia.

Cost of  Sales

     Cost of sales consists of support costs, royalty payments by the Company to
third party developers, manufacturing costs (primarily media duplication,
manuals, and shipping) and amortization of purchased computer software. Total
cost of sales decreased 27% to $141,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
from $193,000 reported in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in
total cost of sales is primarily due to a $74,000 decrease in royalty expenses,
partially offset by increased amortization of purchased computer software and
support costs. Decreased royalty expense in 1998 as compared to 1997 is due to
the acquisition of certain intellectual property rights in the fourth quarter of
1997, which resulted in the elimination of a royalty obligation of the Company.
In connection with the acquisition of these intellectual property rights, the
Company capitalized certain assets as purchased computer software and is
amortizing these assets over a period of seven years, which resulted in an
increase in amortization in 1998 as compared to 1997. As a percent of total
revenue, cost of sales decreased to 6% for the three month period ended March
31, 1998 as compared to 9% for the comparable period in 1997.

Operating Expenses

     Sales and marketing expense increased 22% to $1.1 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $923,000 reported in the quarter ended March
31, 1997. Increased sales and marketing expense for the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of 1997 is due to promotional activity, in
particular, participation in trade shows in March 1998 and advertising expense.
As a percent of total revenue, sales and marketing expense increased slightly to
45% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 44% for the comparable
prior year period.

     Research and development expense increased 16% to $1.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $888,000 reported in the same prior year
quarter. Increased research and development expense is due to increased staffing
in support of increased development efforts for existing products, as well as
for new product offerings, including the ACIS(R) Open Viewer. As a percent of
total revenue, research and development expense decreased slightly to 41% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 42% for the comparable prior year quarter.
The Company accounts for research and development expense in 





                                       7
<PAGE>   8

accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86,
under which the Company is required to capitalize software development costs
after technological feasibility is established. Capitalizable software
development costs incurred to date have not been significant; therefore, the
Company has expensed all of these costs in the periods incurred.

     General and administrative expense decreased 31% to $397,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $574,000 reported for the same quarter in
1997. Decreased general and administrative expense is due to a decrease in
staffing and lower professional fees in 1998 as compared to 1997. As a percent
of total revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 16% for the
first quarter of 1998 as compared to 27% for the first quarter of 1997.

Other Income (Expense), net

     Other income decreased 39% to $64,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
as compared to $105,000 reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. Decreased
other income reflects lower interest income, as a result of lower cash balances
in 1998 as compared to 1997.

Income Tax Expense

     Income tax expense increased to $92,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March
31, 1998 from $28,000 reported for the same quarter in 1997 due primarily to
income tax liabilities in Japan. Historically, income tax expense included only
withholding taxes on foreign sales. Beginning in 1998, the Company began
incurring an income tax liability for its Japanese subsidiary.

FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS

     The Company has experienced in the past and expects to continue to
experience in the future significant fluctuations in quarterly operating results
due to a number of factors that are difficult to forecast, including, among
others, the volume of orders received within a quarter, demand for the Company's
products, the product mix purchased by the Company's customers, competing
capital budget considerations of the Company's customers, introduction and
enhancement of products by the Company and its competitors, market acceptance of
new products, reviews in the industry press concerning the products of the
Company or its competitors, changes or anticipated changes in pricing by the
Company or its competitors and general economic conditions. Due to the foregoing
factors, it is possible that the Company's operating results for some future
quarters may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $5.2 million in cash and cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $561,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $720,000 for the comparable prior year
period.

     Net cash used by operating activities was $528,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $696,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997. Net cash used by operations in 1998 was primarily the
result of the quarter's net loss combined with an increase in accounts
receivable and decreased accrued expenses, partially offset by increased
deferred revenue. Cash used by operations in the period ended March 31, 1997 was
primarily due to the quarter's net loss combined with increased accounts
receivable.

     Net cash used by investing activities totaling $100,000 and $183,000 for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, primarily
reflects cash used for capital equipment purchases.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $70,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, reflecting the sale and issuance of stock pursuant to the
Company's employee stock purchase plan. Net cash 




                                       8
<PAGE>   9

provided by financing activities in the three month period ended March 31, 1997
of $191,000 was due to proceeds in connection with the exercise of stock options
and the Company's employee stock purchase plan.

     The Company has a revolving line of credit with a bank providing for
maximum borrowings of $1,000,000 through May 1998. The line of credit bears
interest at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25%. The line of credit also includes
an equipment line of credit providing for maximum borrowings of $500,000. The
equipment financing line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus
0.75% and is payable in thirty-six equal monthly installments. As of March 31,
1998, the Company had no borrowings under either line of credit.

     The Company believes cash generated from operations, together with existing
cash, will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating and capital
requirements for the foreseeable future including at least the next twelve
months.
