                       Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                     June 30, 1997
                                      (Unaudited)

1)	Results of Operations

During interim periods, CE Software Holdings, Inc. follows the accounting 
policies set forth in its Annual Report to Stockholders and its Report on Form 
10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Users of financial 
information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the 
footnotes contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders when reviewing interim 
financial results.

The results of operations for the interim period reported are not necessarily 
indicative of results to be expected for the year.  The information reflects all
the adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring items) which 
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the 
results for the interim period.

2)	Settlement of Powercore Lawsuit

The Company was plaintiff in a legal proceeding against Powercore, Inc., which 
was settled in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.  The terms of the settlement 
resulted in the return of 250,000 (pre-split) shares of the Company's stock 
which had been held in escrow since 1994.  The recovery and cancellation of the 
stock resulted in a reduction in stockholders' equity and a corresponding gain 
on the settlement of approximately $140,000, net of contingent legal fees paid.

The carrying value of the Powercore customer list, an intangible asset, was also
reduced by approximately $140,000.  This reduction was based on analysis of 
undiscounted future cash flows associated with the Powercore acquired assets.  
The combined effect of this write-off and the above gain was a reduction in 
stockholders' equity and a reduction in intangible assets.  There was no net 
impact on the results of operations during the current period. 

3)	The Reverse Stock Split

On June 30, 1997, the Company executed a one for five, reverse stock split, 
the effect of which was the conversion of 5,377,028 shares of par $.02 common 
stock into 1,075,400 shares of par $.10 common stock.  Shareholders owning 
fractional shares, as a result of the reverse split, were paid cash in lieu of 
issuing any fractional shares.  All common share and per share amounts have been
restated retroactively to give effect to the reverse stock split.  At June 30, 
1997, options to purchase an aggregate of 145,337 (post-split) shares at 
exercise prices from $4.38 to $46.25 per share were outstanding.

4)	Write-off of Intangible Assets and Restructuring Expenses

In the third quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company reported a one-time charge of 
approximately $801,000.  Of this charge, $510,000 related to the write-off of 
intangible assets.  These intangible assets were acquired in fiscal 1994 from 
Powercore, Inc. and were determined to be impaired due to continued poor revenue
performance and an assessment of their recoverability through an analysis of 
undiscounted estimated future cash flows.  An additional expense of $184,000 was
recorded related to the write-off of prepaid developer royalties that were 
expensed in the quarter due to current and estimated future decreasing revenues 
associated with the products.  The remaining charge of $107,000 related to 
restructuring expenses associated with workforce reductions and the 
consolidation of offices.

Three Month Analysis

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the third quarter of the current year were $1,655,000 compared 
to $2,260,000 for the third quarter of the prior year.  The 27% decrease in 
revenues was due to a $589,000, or 26% decrease in revenues from the Company's 
Messaging products; and a $71,000, or 80% decrease in revenues from the 
Company's Calendaring and Scheduling products.  These decreases were partially 
offset by a $55,000, or 19% increase in revenues from the Company's Personal 
Applications products.

Revenues from Messaging products accounted for 78% of total net revenues.  
Historically these revenues were primarily derived from QuickMail LAN, the 
Company's, Macintosh server based, E-mail solution.  In management's opinion, 
these revenues have been negatively impacted by a continued weak Macintosh 
market.  The Company has recently developed and begun marketing QuickMail Pro 

page 7
<PAGE>
and QuickMail Office.  These crossplatform, open standards, Messaging products 
are not tied to the success of the Macintosh market. To date, revenues from 
these products have totaled approximately $1 million, with the majority being 
recorded in the third quarter.  Customer feedback and favorable product reviews 
in the press indicate widening acceptance of these new open standards products. 
In management's opinion these positive sales trends will continue and should 
more than offset decreases in QuickMail LAN to produce top-line growth. 

Revenues from Personal Applications products were positively impacted in the 
current quarter by continued upgrade revenues from QuicKeys 3.5, the Company's 
Macintosh PowerPC Native version of the product.  Revenues from Calendaring and 
Scheduling products are expected to continue to decline and account for only 1% 
and 4% of net revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.  

Net revenues from international channels decreased to $486,000 from $678,000 in 
the third quarter of the prior year, representing 29% and 30%, respectively of 
total net revenues.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, Management expects to
launch our new open standards Messaging products in France, Germany, Sweden, and
Australia.  This launch is anticipated to add momentum to international sales of
QuickMail.  


Cost of Revenues

The Company's cost of revenues is composed primarily of the costs of manuals, 
diskettes, packaging, manufacturing expenses, royalties paid to outside 
developers for the use of certain software included with some of the Company's 
products, and amortization of capitalized purchased software. 

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 83% and 81% in the third 
quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The improvement in the third 
quarter of fiscal 1997 is mainly due to a somewhat lower royalty expense paid to
outside developers.


Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $316,000 during the third quarter of 
fiscal 1997 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  This decrease was 
primarily in salaries and benefits, $148,000; marketing/advertising expense, 
$100,000; travel and entertainment, $33,000; relocation, $11,000; and contract 
labor, $11,000.  The decrease in salaries and benefits was due to both fewer 
sales and marketing staff, as well as lower sales commissions.  The decrease in 
marketing/advertising expense was primarily due to reduced attendance of 
industry trade shows.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are composed principally of salaries and 
benefits of administrative and technical support personnel, fees for 
professional services, amortization of intangible assets and facilities 
expenses.  These expenses for the third quarter decreased 46% or $442,000 from 
the third quarter of the prior year.  Virtually all expense categories were 
reduced, the largest of which included salaries and benefits, $207,000; contract
labor and other outside services, $80,000; facility overhead expenses, $28,000;
rent, $24,000; shipping expenses, $23,000; amortization expense, $22,000; loss 
on sale of fixed assets, $15,000; offices supplies, $14,000; and travel $10,000.
The decreases are primarily due to smaller staff levels, fewer consultants, and 
less executive salaries.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased to $336,000 in the third quarter of 
the current year from $536,000 in the third quarter of the prior year, 
representing 20% and 24% of net revenues, respectively.  The primary areas that 
decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 were salaries and benefits, 
$117,000; contract labor, $43,000; facility overhead expenses, $10,000; travel 
and entertainment, $8,000; and training, $7,000.  These decreases were 
predominantly associated with a somewhat smaller staff.  Staff reductions were 
the result of a more focused development effort and the departure of two 
engineers, who left the Company to be part of the spin-off of a joint venture.

Income Tax Benefit
 
The Company recorded no income tax benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
The Company has utilized all available net operating loss carrybacks and has 
recorded a valuation allowance for its net operating loss carryforward until 
future taxable earnings are recorded.   


Nine Month Analysis

Net  Revenues

Net revenues for the first nine months of the current year were $5,329,000 
compared to $7,950,000 for the same period last year.  The 33% decrease in net 
revenues was due to a $2,125,000, or 34% decrease in revenues from the Company's
Messaging products; a $312,000, or 22% decrease in revenues from the Company's 
Personal Applications products; and a $184,000, or 72% decrease in revenues from
the Company's Calendaring and Scheduling products.

Revenues from Messaging products accounted for 78% of total net revenues. 
Historically, these revenues were primarily derived from QuickMail LAN, the 
Company's, Macintosh server based, E-mail solution.  In management's opinion, 
these revenues have been negatively impacted by a continued weak Macintosh

in the press indicate widening acceptance of these new open standards products. 
In management's opinion these positive sales trends will continue and should 
more than offset decreases in QuickMail LAN to produce top-line growth.

Revenues from Personal Applications products were negatively impacted by reduced
sales of WebArranger.  This decrease was partially offset by improved revenues 
from QuicKeys 3.5, the Company's Macintosh PowerPC Native version of the 
product.  Revenues from Calendaring and Scheduling products are expected to 
continue to decline and account for only 1% and 3% of net revenues during the 
first nine months of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Net revenues from international channels decreased to $1,502,000 in the first 
nine months of the current year from $2,080,000 in the first nine months of the 
prior year, representing 28% and 26%, respectively of total net revenues.  In 
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, management expects to launch our new open 
standards Messaging products in France, Germany, Sweden, and Australia.  This 
launch is anticipated to add momentum to international sales of QuickMail.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 83% in both the first nine 
months of fiscal 1997 and 1996.      


Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $537,000 during the first nine months of 
fiscal 1997 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1996.  This decrease was
primarily in marketing/advertising expense, $287,000; salaries and benefits, 
$181,000; and travel and entertainment, $41,000.  The decrease in 
marketing/advertising expense was primarily due to significantly less direct 
mail campaigns.  The decrease in salaries and benefits was due to both fewer 
sales and marketing staff, as well as lower sales commissions.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are composed principally of salaries and 
benefits of administrative and technical support personnel, fees for 
professional services, amortization of intangible assets and facilities 
expenses.  These expenses for the first nine months decreased 37% or $1,106,000 
from the same period last year. Virtually all expense categories were reduced, 
the largest of which included salaries and benefits, $532,000; contract labor 
and other outside services, $229,000; rent, $91,000; amortization expense, 
$65,000; facility overhead expenses, $60,000; shipping expenses, $39,000; office
supplies, $32,000; travel and entertainment, $19,000; and training, $15,000.  
These decreases are primarily due to smaller staff levels, fewer consultants, 
and less executive salaries.


Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased to approximately $1,103,000 for the 
first nine months of the current year from $1,558,000 in the same period last 
year, representing 21% and 20% of net revenues, respectively.  The primary areas
that decreased in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 were salaries and 
benefits, $347,000; contract labor, $30,000;facility overhead expenses, $19,000;
travel and entertainment, $18,000; and offices supplies, $17,000  These decrease
were predominantly associated with a somewhat smaller staff.  Staff reductions
were the result of a more focused development effort adn the departure of two 
engineers, who left the Company to be part of the spin-off of a joint venture.


Income Tax Benefit

The Company recorded no income tax benefit for the first nine months of fiscal 
1997.  The Company has utilized all available net operating loss carrybacks and

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $175,000 during the first nine months of 
fiscal 1997 to a balance of $1,688,000.  The primary source of cash was $934,000
provided from payments made on the 4-Sight note receivable.  Of the cash 
received, $283,000 was placed in a short-term investment.  This investment 
consists of a U.S. Treasury bill which we intend to hold until maturity.  The 
net loss for the year was the primary reason for the $756,000 of cash being used
in operating activities.  The Company believes it can fund its working capital
needs from operations, available cash, available instruments, and its $2,000,000
line of credit, against which the Company has no borrowings as of June 30, 1997.


Risk and Uncertainty

The preceding statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-QSB which are not
historical facts are forward looking statements.  These forward looking 
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could render them materially 
different, including, but not limited to, the risk that new products and product
upgrades may not be effected on a timely basis, the risk that such products may 
not achieve market acceptance within the Windows or Macintosh markets, and the 
risk that the Company would not be able to fund its working capital needs from 
cash flow, or be able to borrow under its line of credit.

                     CE SOFTWARE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                           PART II:  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

The Company and its subsidiary, CE Software, Inc. were plaintiffs in a legal 
proceeding against Powercore, Inc., and its principal owners.  The complaint 
alleged a breach of contract and fraud in connection with the sale of 
Powercore's assets.  The complaint was filed February 22, 1996, in the United 
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.  
This proceeding was terminated on May 27, 1997, in an out of court settlement.  
The terms of the settlement resulted in the return of 250,000 (pre-split) shares
of the Company's stock which had been held in escrow since 1994.  Recovery of
the stock resulted in a reduction in stockholders' equity, and a reduction in 
the value of intangible assets.  There was no net impact on the results of 
operations during the current period.  See footnote 2 in "Notes to Consolidated 
Financials Statements" for further explanation of the accounting treatment.  

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

Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the voting common stock of 
the Company consented, in lieu of a meeting, to the adoption of an Amendment to 
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.  At the time of the 
action a total of 5,627,028 shares were outstanding.

The Amendment was approved by the consent of holders of 52.37% of the shares of 
voting common stock.  The following responses were received from shareholders 
whose consent was sought by the Company: 

                                      							 Abstained or
	             For		         Against		         Broker non-vote

          	2,947,021	        11,900	            N/A


Adoption of the Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the 
Company had the effect of converting all outstanding shares of par $.02 voting 
common stock of the Company ("par $.02 Common Stock") into shares of par $.10 
voting common stock of the Company ("par $.10 Common Stock") at a conversion 
ratio of five shares of par $.02 Common Stock for one share of par $.10 Common 
Stock (the "Reverse Split").  The Reverse Split was proposed by the Board of 
Directors in response to notification by the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq")
that the Company was subject to being delisted from Nasdaq because the per share
price of its $.02 Common Stock had fallen below $1.00.
