   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

HealthCare  Solutions  Group - On  September  1,  1999,  the  Company  sold  the
operations and a substantial  portion of the assets of its HealthCare  Solutions
Group ("HSG") to Lernout & Hauspie Speech  Products N.V.  ("L&H"),  an unrelated
third  party,  for  $28,000,000,  of  which  $21,500,000  was  paid at  closing,
$2,500,000 was deposited into escrow with the remaining $4,000,000 to be paid in
two  installments  of  $2,000,000  each over the next two years as a  contingent
earn-out based on the performance of HSG.

Pro Forma Financial Statements - The accompanying  unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated  balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 presents the financial  position
of the  Company as if the sale of the HSG had  occurred  on June 30,  1999.  The
accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 and the year ended  December  31,  1998
present the results of  operations  of the Company as if the sale of the HSG had
occurred at the beginning of 1998.  The pro forma results have been prepared for
illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of future results
or what would have  occurred had the sale actually been made at the beginning of
1998.

The  accompanying  unaudited pro forma  financial  statements  should be read in
conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998 and Forms 10-Q for the periods  ended June 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999,
and the historical financial statements of Articulate Systems, Inc. (predecessor
of HSG) and the notes thereto  included in the Company's  Current Report on Form
8-K/A filed on November 16, 1998.

NOTE 2.  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(a)      The Company  received  $24,000,000  in cash,  of which  $2,500,000  was
         placed in escrow pursuant to the sale  agreement.  The cash received is
         net of payments totaling $8,911,507 which the Company was contractually
         required to make towards certain  liabilities  from the proceeds of the
         sale.  The  contingent  earn-out  payment  of  $4,000,000  has not been
         reflected in the accompanying  condensed consolidated pro forma balance
         sheet.

(b)      The assets sold  included the  inventory,  property and  equipment  and
         certain  prepaid  expenses  and  other  assets  of the  HSG  which  are
         eliminated from the pro forma condensed  consolidated  balance sheet at
         June 30, 1999.

(c)      The purchased  core  technology  related to the HSG was sold to L&H and
         the  related  goodwill  no  longer  has  value  to the  Company.  These
         intangible   assets,  net  of  accumulated   amortization,   have  been
         eliminated from the pro forma condensed  consolidated  balance sheet at
         June 30, 1999.

(d)      The Company was contractually  required to make payments toward certain
         liabilities  from the proceeds of the sale.  These  payments  have been
         reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at June
         30, 1999.

(e)      The Company incurred certain liabilities in connection with the sale of
         the HSG which are  included  in the pro  forma  condensed  consolidated
         balance  sheet at June 30, 1999.  The  liabilities  incurred are net of
         payments  of $58,286,  which the  Company  was  required to make toward
         certain liabilities from the proceeds of the sale.

(f)      The  Company's  income  tax  liability  from  the  sale  of the  HSG is
         estimated  to be $250,000  and is  included in the pro forma  condensed
         consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1999.

(g)      L&H  assumed  the  capital  lease  obligations  of the  Company and the
         responsibility  to  complete  any  contractual  obligations  related to
         certain  of the  Company's  deferred  revenues  pursuant  to  the  sale
         agreement.  Accordingly,  these liabilities are eliminated from the pro
         forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1999.

         the HSG in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
         for  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999  due to the  gain  being a

(j)      Reflects the  elimination of interest expense of the HSG for the six
         months ended June 30, 1999 of which $206,266 related to payments  on
         certain notes payable which the Company was contractually  required to
         make from the proceeds of the sale.

(k)      The  operations  of the HSG have  been  eliminated  from the pro  forma
         condensed  consolidated  statement of operations from September 2, 1998
         (date  of   acquisition   of  HSG)  through   December  31,  1998.   No
         consideration  has been given to the gain on sale of the HSG in the pro
         forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
         December 31, 1998 due to the gain being a  non-recurring  item directly
         attributable to the sale.

         ended  December 31, 1998 of which $77,099  related to  payments  on

         make from the proceeds of the sale.
