                             ONEWORLD SYSTEMS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     OneWorld Systems, Inc. ("OneWorld Systems" or the "Company") (founded in
     1989 and incorporated in Delaware as Global Village Communication, Inc.)
     developed and manufactured products that enhanced and simplified wide-area
     data communications for the small and medium sized office market. The
     Company's OneWorld(R) OfficePort(TM) family of network communication
     appliances were designed to be versatile, easy-to-use, cost-effective and
     expandable solutions that combine Internet access and routing, remote
     access, modem pooling and fax capabilities. On December 21, 1999 the
     Company announced its intent to sell substantially all of its non-cash
     assets to Tut Systems, Inc. and ceased ongoing operations.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The interim condensed consolidated financial
     statements as of December 31, 1999 and for the three and nine months ended
     December 31, 1999 and 1998, include all adjustments that in the opinion of
     management are necessary to present fairly the financial information set
     forth therein, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Certain reclassifications have been made for consistent presentation. These
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
     consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
     Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.

     NET LOSS PER SHARE. Net loss per share has been computed using the weighted
     average number of shares of common stock outstanding in accordance with
     SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share ("EPS")
     excludes dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss by the
     weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
     Diluted EPS includes dilution and is computed using the weighted average
     number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during
     the period. The Company incurred a net loss for all periods presented.
     Therefore, common stock equivalents of approximately 2,311,000 and 460,000
     representing outstanding options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock
     (using the if-converted method) were not included in the computation for
     the periods ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively,
     because they were anti-dilutive.

     INVENTORIES. Inventories are primarily comprised of finished goods and are
     stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs are calculated using standard
     cost, which approximates the lower of actual cost (first-in, first-out
     method) or market.

3.   RESTRUCTURING COSTS

     As of December 31, 1999, the Company's total accrued restructuring costs
     balance was approximately $8,000 and is primarily comprised of the
     remaining lease liabilities on one of its facilities.

     On March 31, 1998 the Company announced a fundamental shift in business
     strategy to refocus its efforts on its new line of communication servers
     for small and medium size offices and a change of its name to OneWorld
     Systems, Inc. During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company recorded
     a restructuring charge of approximately $404,000. As of December 31, 1999
     the accrual balance associated with the March 1998 restructuring was
     completely utilized leaving a zero balance.

     In December 1996, the Company announced a restructuring plan to streamline
     its operations, reduce its workforce and enable the Company to improve its
     operating results. As of December 31, 1999 the accrual balance associated
     with the December 1996 restructuring was approximately $8,000 and relates
     primarily to the remaining lease payments on the Marietta, Georgia
     facility.

4.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company adopted a formal plan to
     discontinue its enterprise network server operation based in the United
     Kingdom (formerly, the Company's ISDN Division). The disposition of the
     division has been accounted for as a discontinued operation in accordance
     with Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 30.

     During the three month period ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded
     income from discontinued operations of $161,000 representing the release of
     reserves accrued for certain contingencies related to the Company's former
     ISDN Division which have expired.

5.   SALE OF MODEM OPERATIONS

     On June 18, 1998 the Company completed the sale of its modem operations to
     Boca Research, Inc. ("Boca"). Included in the sale were substantially all
     of the Company's assets related to the Company's single user modem and
     software product offerings. Additionally, the Company issued to Boca a five
     year Warrant to purchase up to 42,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock
     at approximately $10.00 per share. In consideration for these assets, Boca
     assumed certain of the Company's liabilities related to the modem
     operations, paid the Company $4.0 million in cash, and delivered a
     non-interest bearing promissory note for $6.0 million payable in two equal
     installments on September 30 and December 31, 1998, which was recorded at
     $5.855 million. The difference between the recorded value and the face
     value of the note was recognized as interest income over the life of the
     note. The loan was fully paid by the end of the fiscal year ended March 31,
     1999.

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company recorded a gain on the
     sale of the modem business of $6.128 million and during the quarter ended
     March 31, 1999 recorded an additional gain of $47,000 representing the
     release of reserves for contingencies determined to be fully resolved.
     During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded an additional
     gain on the sale of the modem business of $268,000 representing the release
     of the remaining reserves for contingencies which expired on June 18, 1999.
     During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded an
     additional gain on the sale of the modem business of $23,000 representing
     the release of the reserves for contingencies which expired during the
     quarter. As of December 31, 1999 the cumulative net gain on of the sale of
     the modem business was $6.466 million.

     The assets purchased by Boca included products which represented the
     overwhelming majority of the Company's revenues and gross profits in prior
     years. These products did not contribute to the Company's reported net
     revenue or gross profit after June 18, 1998.

6.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On June 22, 1999 the Company's stockholders approved the proposed amendment
     to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the Board of
     Directors to adopt a reverse stock split with respect to the Company's
     Common Stock. On June 23, 1999 the Board of Directors approved a
     one-for-ten reverse split ratio effective July 6, 1999. The effect of the
     reverse split has been accounted for retroactively throughout these
     financial statements.

     On July 6, 1999, in connection with the one-for-ten reverse split, 50% of
     the then outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or 1,550,000
     shares) was automatically converted into Common Stock at a conversion ratio
     of one-for-one.

     On July 7, 1999, the closing price of the Company's Common Stock, as quoted
     on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"), exceeded a specific
     price resulting in the automatic conversion of an additional 12.5% of the
     originally outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or 387,500
     shares) into Common Stock at a conversion ratio of one-for-one.

     As of December 31, 1999, 1,162,505 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
     Stock remain outstanding. Although these shares may be converted by the
     holder at any time, the remaining Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
     would automatically convert into common stock in three equal amounts as a
     result of the Company's common stock achieving certain future closing
     prices.

7.   SALE TO TUT SYSTEMS

     On December 20, 1999, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell
     substantially all of the assets, other than cash, accounts receivable, and
     other financial assets, of the Company to Tut Systems, Inc. (Tut Systems) a
     Delaware corporation. The assets to be transferred in the sale include the
     Company's property and equipment, intellectual property, sales and
     marketing information, and research and development assets. In
     consideration for the assets, the Company will receive a total of
     approximately $2.33 million comprised of up to $580,000 in cash and the
     balance in shares of Tut Systems common stock having an assigned value of
     $44.4125 per share. In addition, Tut Systems has entered into an employment
     relationship with a number of the employees of the Company, whereby Tut
     Systems will assume the employment of, and preserve the tenure and
     continuity of employment of these individuals. These employees consist of
     engineering and sales employees. The balance of the Company's employees,
     including executive management, will be terminated and offered severance
     packages based upon their current salary and years of service or specific
     arrangements. The officers of the Company have voluntarily modified their
     prior Change of Control Agreements to reduce their severance to a payment
     of between 6 and 12 months of their respective salaries.

     On December 21, 1999 the Company announced that it had ceased business
     operations. The Company will seek stockholder approval of the planned asset
     sale to Tut Systems and for the voluntary plan of liquidation and
     dissolution of the Company at a Special Meeting of Stockholders currently
     scheduled in March 2000. Substantially all employees not hired by Tut
     Systems were terminated on December 20, 1999.

     Upon the dissolution of the Company, the remaining assets of the Company
     will be distributed to the stockholders. The Series A Preferred Stock has
     certain preferential rights, including the right to receive distributions
     upon dissolution. Currently, these preferential rights provides that the
     holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive 100% of the first $3.11
     million of any such distribution. The Company believes that at the time of
     dissolution, the assets available for distribution will be less than $3.11
     million, therefore, the entire distribution will accrue to the preferred
     stockholders only.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. This report contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking
statements as a result of the risk factors and other cautionary disclosures set
forth below and elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

OneWorld Systems, Inc. (the "Company", "we", or "us") was founded in June 1989
and incorporated in Delaware as Global Village Communication, Inc. On December
21, 1999 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent to sell
substantially all of the non-cash assets of the Company to Tut Systems, Inc. and
had ceased business operations. The Company will seek stockholder approval of
the planned asset sale to Tut Systems and for a subsequent voluntary plan of
liquidation and dissolution of the Company at a Special Meeting of Stockholders
currently scheduled in March 2000. The Company's core engineering group and
sales team will become employees of Tut Systems after the asset sale is
completed. Substantially all employees not hired by Tut Systems were terminated
on December 20, 1999.

From the sale of our single-user modem operations to Boca Research, Inc. in June
1998 to December 20, 1999, we developed and manufactured products that enhanced
and simplified wide area data communications for the small and medium sized
office market. Our OneWorld(R) OfficePort(TM) family of network communication
appliances were designed to be versatile, easy-to-use, cost-effective and
expandable solutions that combine Internet access and routing, remote access,
on-line service access and fax capabilities. Since September 1999, our primary
source of operating revenue has been from the sale of these products.

In conjunction with the introduction of our OfficePort appliance, we refocused
our sales efforts around a direct sales and support model. Utilizing telesales
and electronic commerce via the Internet, we attempted to sell directly to our
end-user customers rather than selling through value-added resellers and other
indirect sales channels. Our new product line was dependent upon the commercial
acceptance of the products, which in turn depended on continued development and
technical enhancement of the products, sales and marketing efforts, technical
reviews by independent parties, introductions of new technologies, performance
of our suppliers, and announcements by competitors, among other factors. Sales
of our products failed to grow as quickly as hoped, and revenues from such sales
were consistently below expectations, which had a materially adverse affect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. On December 20,
1999, we ceased all ongoing business operations.

NET REVENUE

On June 18, 1998, we sold our single-user modem operations to Boca Research,
Inc. The modem operations accounted for substantially all of our revenue during
the prior fiscal year. On December 20, 1999, we ceased all ongoing business
operations. Consequently, the comparisons below should not be relied upon as
predictors of future performance.

Net revenues include revenues from gross shipments, licenses and royalties, less
returns and allowances.

</TABLE>

The increase in net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to
the same period in fiscal 1999 was primarily attributable to the increase in
revenues from direct online sales of our OfficePort products. During the quarter
ended December 31, 1998, revenue from our discontinued legacy products made up
the substantial majority of total net revenue for the quarter. The decrease in
revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 when compared to the same
nine month period in the prior year is primarily attributable to the sale of our
modem operations in June 1998. We sold no modem business products after the
close of the transaction with Boca Research on June 18, 1998.



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

Net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 increased 122% from $82,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable
to an improved sales volume of the OfficePort appliances.

We have established revenue allowances for estimated future customer returns.
There can be no assurance that our historical experience regarding returns and
allowances will continue or that our projections will prove accurate.

COST AND EXPENSES

On June 18, 1998, we sold our modem operations to Boca Research. The modem
operations accounted for substantially all of our gross profit and a significant
portion of our research and development, marketing and sales, and general and
administrative expenses during the prior fiscal year. On December 20, 1999, we
ceased all ongoing business operations. Consequently, the comparisons below are
not predictors of future performance.

GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenue primarily consisted of cost of materials, contract manufacturing
costs, manufacturing overhead expenses, royalty payments and warranty expenses.
Our gross profit (deficit) as a percentage of net revenue was:

</TABLE>

The decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of net revenue for the third
quarter ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the comparable period in the
prior fiscal year was attributable to an increase in inventory reserves
associated with the Company's decision to cease operations. Similarly, gross
profit margins as a percentage of net revenues decreased to -95% in the current
fiscal quarter from 9% in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1999.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses are comprised of the following:

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses decreased 7% to $789,000 for the third quarter
of fiscal 2000 from $850,000 in the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999. For the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999, research and development expenses
decreased 41% to $2.6 million when compared to the same period of the prior
fiscal year. The decrease in



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

research and development expenses for the fiscal quarter comparison is primarily
related to a reduction in headcount. The decrease in research and development
expenses for the nine month period is primarily related to reductions in
headcount and other costs resulting from the sale of the single-user modem
operations to Boca Research, Inc. Costs incurred in the research and development
of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are
expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, in
compliance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Software to be Sold,
Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Historically, software development has been
substantially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological
feasibility, and, accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to date.

MARKETING AND SALES

Marketing and sales expenses increased 106% to $1.6 million in the third quarter
of fiscal 2000 compared to $777,000 during the corresponding period of fiscal
1999. The increase in marketing and sales expense is primarily due to a national
advertising campaign for the OfficePort product family and an increase in direct
marketing expenses.

Marketing and sales expenses decreased 4% to $4.1 million during the nine months
ended December 31, 1999 from $4.2 million from the corresponding nine month
period of the prior year. The decline over the nine month period was primarily
attributable to a reduction in advertising and promotional expenses, as well as
a reduction in personnel costs associated with the sale of the single-user modem
operations.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses decreased 41% to $477,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $807,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The
decrease is primarily due to a reduction in headcount and temporary labor.
General and administrative expenses decreased 36% to $1.9 million during the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999 from $2.9 million during the same nine
month period in the prior fiscal year. General and administrative expenses
decreased primarily due to a reduction in personnel costs associated with the
sale of the single-user modem operations.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

On March 31, 1998 we announced a fundamental shift in business strategy to
refocus our efforts on our new line of communication servers for small and
medium sized offices and a change of our name to OneWorld Systems, Inc. During
the first fiscal quarter of 1999, we recorded a restructuring charge of
approximately $404,000 comprised of additional one-time costs for severance and
employee related costs (approximately $247,000), lease abandonment
(approximately $88,000), and fixed asset write-offs (approximately $69,000)
associated with the transition to OneWorld Systems. As of December 31, 1999 an
accrual balance of approximately $8,000 remained, associated with the lease
abandonment of the Marietta, Georgia facility.

NET OTHER INCOME

Other net income consisted of the following:

</TABLE>

Net other income decreased to $57,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from
$61,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The decrease in other net income
is primarily due to the decreased balance of invested surplus cash. By December
31, 1999, all investments were liquidated to meet short term cash requirements.
Other income earned during the quarter ended



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

December 31, 1999 was primarily comprised of earnings from invested surplus cash
and the release of certain contingencies related to the sale of the modem
operations that expired during the quarter. For the nine months ended December
31, 1999, other net income decreased to approximately $483,000 from $6.3 million
earned in the nine month period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease is
primarily attributable to a one time gain of $6.1 million on the sale of the
modem operations recorded in the first fiscal quarter of 1999.

The effective tax rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999 were zero.
For the nine months ended December 31, 1999 the effective tax rate was
approximately 0.3%. The income tax provision recorded includes minimum state
income taxes for fiscal year 2000 recorded during the first quarter of the
fiscal year net of refunds of prior year state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.1 million at December 31, 1999,
representing 79% of total assets. Our working capital was $1.1 million at
December 31, 1999, a decrease of $8.0 million as compared to $9.1 million at
March 31, 1999. The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to
the net loss from operations incurred during the nine months ended December 31,
1999.

On December 31, 1999, our principal source of liquidity was $2.1 million in cash
and short term investments.

On December 21, 1999 we announced that we have ceased ongoing operations and our
intent to sell substantially all of the Company's assets to Tut Systems, Inc. We
anticipate that our only future source of liquidity will be the proceeds of this
asset sale. The total proceeds of this transaction will be $2.33 million,
comprised of up to $580,000 of cash and the balance in Tut Systems Common Stock.
We expect that the current capital and the proceeds of the assets sale will
provide sufficient cash to satisfy all financial obligations and liabilities
through the final dissolution of the Company. The preceding sentence is a
forward-looking statement, and actual results could differ materially from those
indicated. Failure to meet our expectations of the proceeds of the Asset Sale,
operating expenses in excess of expectations, or other unforeseen expenditures
could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Following the close of the asset sale to Tut Systems, the Company will formally
dissolve by filing a certificate of dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of
State. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the remaining assets of the Company
will be distributed to the stockholders. The Series A Preferred Stock has
certain preferential rights, including the right to receive distribution upon
dissolution. Currently, these preferential rights provide that the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock will receive 100% of the first $3.11 million of any
such distribution. The Company believes that at the time of dissolution the
assets available for distribution will be less than $3.11 million, therefore,
the entire distribution will accrue to the preferred stockholders only.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

Although we are not aware of any material Year 2000 disfunction with respect to
any of our systems or products to date, we are aware of the potential for Year
2000 software failures. Since we ceased ongoing business operations on December
20, 1999, we believe it is unlikely that we will be materially impacted by the
Year 2000 readiness of our customers, suppliers and other business partners. We
have not experienced any disfunction of such third parties' systems to date.

SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY AND CESSATION OF
OPERATIONS

On February 7, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially
all of its assets, other than cash, accounts receivable, and other financial
assets, to Tut Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the terms of
the agreement, and subject to receipt of any required stockholder approvals, the
Company will sell to Tut Systems, and Tut Systems will purchase from the
Company, substantially all of the Company's assets. The assets to be transferred
in the sale include the Company's property and equipment, intellectual property,
sales and marketing information, and research and development assets. In
consideration for the assets, the Company will receive a total of approximately
$2.33 million comprised of up to $580,000 in cash and the balance in shares of
Tut Systems common stock having an assigned value of $44.4125 per share. In
addition, Tut Systems has entered into an employment relationship with a number
of the employees of the Company, whereby Tut Systems will assume the employment
of, and preserve the tenure and continuity of employment of these individuals.
These employees



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

consist of engineering and sales employees. The balance of the Company's
employees, including executive management, will be terminated and offered
severance packages based upon their current salary and years of service or
specific arrangements. The officers of the Company have voluntarily modified
their prior Change of Control Agreements to reduce their severance to a payment
of between 6 and 12 months of their respective salaries.

On December 21, 1999 the Company announced that it had ceased business
operations. The Company will seek stockholder approval of the planned asset sale
to Tut Systems and for the voluntary plan of liquidation and dissolution of the
Company at a Special Meeting of Stockholders currently scheduled in March 2000.
Substantially all employees not hired by Tut Systems were terminated on December
20, 1999.

Upon the dissolution of the Company, the remaining assets of the Company will be
distributed to the stockholders. The Series A Preferred Stock has certain
preferential rights, including the right to receive distributions upon
dissolution. Currently, these preferential rights provides that the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock will receive 100% of the first $3.11 million of any
such distribution. The Company believes that at the time of dissolution, the
assets available for distribution will be less than $3.11 million, therefore,
the entire distribution will accrue to the preferred stockholders only.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from interest rate changes, and changes in the
market value of our investments.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We invest our excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its
agencies, and of high-quality corporate issuers. By policy, we limit the amount
of our credit exposure to any one issue. We attempt to protect and preserve our
invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk. We also
require that a certain level of liquidity be maintained, and as a result, we
invest in debt instruments that will mature in the short-term. As instruments
mature, funds are reinvested in similar short-term investments. We began
actively investing our surplus cash in these types of investment vehicles in
July 1999.

Investments in both fixed and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a
degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market
value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate
securities may produce less than expected returns if interest rates fall. Due in
part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of
expectations due to changes in interest rates and we may suffer losses in
principal if forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to
changes in interest rates.

The effect of interest rate fluctuations on us during the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 and during the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 was not
material, nor do we currently anticipate that it will have a significant impact
prior to our planned dissolution.

INVESTMENT RISK

We are exposed to investment risk as the result of the impact of interest rate
fluctuations on the market value of our investments. We currently hold no equity
investments. However, in the event that the Company closes the asset sale with
Tut Systems, as part of the consideration for the sale, the Company will receive
up to 52,500 unregistered shares of Tut Systems common stock. This equity
carries the risk of any equity security that has experienced value fluctuations
in a volatile market. The shares to be received will be unregistered, therefore
the Company carries the additional risk associated with the inability to sell
the securities in the public markets should the market value of the Tut stock
decline. The effect of market risk arising from our investment holdings during
the third quarter of fiscal 2000 and during the nine month period ended December
31, 1999 was not material, nor do we currently anticipate that it will have a
significant impact prior to our planned dissolution.
