INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


Network Dynamics, Inc.
Williamsburg, Virginia:

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Network
Dynamics, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for
the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

         We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Network
Dynamics, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the
consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $844,263
during the year ended December 31, 1998, and as of that date, had a working
capital deficiency of $2,909,810 and a net worth deficiency of $2,771,851. As
described more fully in notes 3 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company is in default on its loan agreements with a bank and in arrears on
accounts with certain vendor creditors which, among other things cause the
balances to become due on demand. The Company is not aware of any alternate
sources of capital to meet such demands, if made. Those conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(1)      Description of business and significant accounting policies:

         (a)      Organization:

                  Network Dynamics, Inc. and Subsidiary ("the Company") is in
                  the business of providing electronic catalog creation and
                  viewing software and services to several vertical markets
                  within the United States and European manufactured equipment
                  industry ("the Equipment Industry"). The Company is located in
                  Williamsburg, Virginia and substantially all of its sales are
                  to nationally- and internationally-based concerns in the
                  Equipment Industry.

         (b)      Consolidation:

                  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
                  accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Part
                  Smart Europe BV. All material intercompany transactions have
                  been eliminated in consolidation.

         (c)      Cash and cash equivalents:

                  For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the
                  Company considers all instruments with an original maturity of
                  three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         (d)      Revenue recognition:

                  Dealer subscriptions revenue is recognized over the period of
                  the subscription. Revenue from bulk licensing arrangements is
                  recognized immediately except for the portion determined to be
                  for post contract support, which is recognized over the period
                  of the license agreement. Each bulk license agreement is
                  evaluated for the amount of post contract support that is
                  estimated to be required over the period of the license and a
                  portion of the revenue from the license is deferred based on
                  this estimate.

                  Revenue from data conversion projects is recognized on the
                  percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ARB No. 45
                  using the relevant guidance in Statement of Position 81-1.

              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


(1)      Description of business and significant accounting policies, continued:

         (d)      Revenue recognition, continued:

                  Revenue from annual or periodic maintenance fees is recognized
                  over the period the maintenance is provided.

         (e)      Accounts receivable:

                  The Company uses the reserve method of accounting for bad
                  debts for financial statement purposes.

                  Pursuant to a factoring agreement, the Company factors a
                  portion of its receivables, which are assigned on a
                  pre-approved, recourse basis to a bank. The factoring charge
                  amounts to 3.4% of the receivables assigned. The Company's
                  obligations to the bank are collateralized by the factored
                  accounts receivable and personal endorsement of one of the
                  majority shareholders. The bank reserves a portion of the
                  factored receivables and holds it in an interest bearing
                  account. The cash reserve amounted to $86,369 at December 31,
                  1998.

         (f)      Property and equipment:

                  Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and
                  amortization are computed under the straight-line method for
                  financial reporting purposes and under accelerated methods for
                  income tax purposes. Depreciation and amortization have been
                  provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
                  follows:

                                                                 Years
                                                                 -----

                     Computer equipment                             3
                     Office furniture and equipment                5-7

         (g)      Income taxes:

                  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
                  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No.
                  109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 is an asset
                  and liability approach that requires the recognition of
                  deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
                  tax consequences attributable to differences between the
                  carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
                  reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, and for
                  operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In estimating
                  future tax consequences, SFAS No. 109 generally considers all
                  expected future events other than the enactment of changes in
                  tax laws or rates. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is
                  "more likely than not" that some portion or all of a deferred
                  tax asset will not be realized.

         (h)      Use of estimates:

                  The preparation of the Company's financial statements in
                  conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
                  requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
                  affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
                  accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
                  estimates.

        (i)       Credit risks:

                  The Company maintains its cash in several financial
                  institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit
                  Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At December 31, 1998,
                  cash in one financial institution exceeded this amount.

                  Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts
                  receivable is limited due to the number and diversity of
                  customers comprising the Company's customer base. During 1998,
                  one customer comprised approximately 19.8% of the Company's
                  sales. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit
                  losses. Historically, such losses, in the aggregate, have not
                  exceeded the reserve.

         (j)      Software development costs:

                  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
                  "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
                  Leased or Otherwise Marketed", requires the capitalization of
                  certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the
                  date technological feasibility is established and prior to the
                  date the product is generally available for sale. The
                  capitalized cost is then amortized over the estimated product
                  life. The Company defines technological feasibility as being
                  attained at the time a working model is completed. To date,
                  the period between achieving technological feasibility and the
                  general availability of such software has been short and
                  software development costs qualifying for capitalization have
                  been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has not
                  capitalized any software development costs.

         (k)      Advertising costs:

                  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in
                  operating expenses. Advertising costs amounted to
                  approximately $13,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998.

                  continued:

         (l)      Foreign currency translation:

                  Financial statements of Part Smart Europe BV are translated
                  into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance
                  sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted average
                  exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains
                  and losses. Where the local currency is the functional
                  currency, translation adjustments are recorded as a separate
                  component of shareholders' equity (deficit). During 1998,
                  foreign currency translation adjustments were not material.

         (m)      Stock-based compensation:

                  The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
                  "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in October 1995.
                  SFAS 123 encourages companies to adopt a fair value approach
                  to valuing stock options that would require compensation cost
                  to be recognized based on the fair value of stock options
                  granted. The Company has elected, as permitted by the
                  standard, to follow its intrinsic value-based method of
                  accounting for stock options consistent with Accounting
                  Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
                  issued to Employees." Under the intrinsic method, compensation
                  cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of
                  the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the
                  measurement date over the exercise price.

(2)      Accounts receivable:

         Accounts receivable consists of the following at December 31, 1998:

(3)      Notes payable:

         Notes payable at December 31, 1998 consist of term loans and a demand
         note payable to a bank in the aggregate amount of $539,536. The
         interest rate for all loans is 9.75%, and they are secured by
         substantially all assets of the Company, the pledge of the two majority
         shareholders' stock in the Company and personal endorsement of the two
         majority shareholders.

(3)      Notes payable, continued:

         During 1998, the Company defaulted on the terms of these loan
         agreements. On November 13, 1998, the Company negotiated a new loan
         modification and security agreement. Under the terms of the new
         agreement, no payments on the loans shall be due for 150 days from the
         execution of the agreement. At the end of the 150 day period, the loans
         shall be repaid in full. In the event that the Company is unable to
         repay the loans in full within the 150 day period, the Company is to
         begin making payments of interest only for a period of 150 days. At any
         time, the bank may call one or more of the loans and, as such, the
         loans have been classified as a current liability in the accompanying
         consolidated balance sheet (Note 9).

         Interest expense for 1998 amounted to $161,302, of which $61,533
         related to bank debt, $40,138 related to capitalized lease obligations,
         $41,071 related to notes payable from related parties and $18,560
         related to vendor and payroll tax payables.

(6)      Shareholders' equity:

         Stock incentive plan:

         During 1997, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan in which
         various types of incentives may be granted. These incentives include
         stock awards, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. At the sole
         discretion of the Stock Option Committee, which is appointed by the
         Board of Directors, stock incentives may be granted to any employee,
         director, officer, consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor
         of the Company; provided that only employees of the Company are
         eligible for stock options. The Stock Option Committee also determines
         when an incentive vests and expires. 571,428 shares of common stock
         have been reserved for the plan.

         Stock options may be Incentive Stock Options ("ISO") or Non-statutory
         Stock Options. The exercise price of Incentive Stock Options shall be
         the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant provided that
         if an ISO is granted to a participant who, at the time of the grant, is
         a ten percent shareholder, then the exercise price shall not be less
         than 110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of the
         grant. The exercise price of shares covered by a Non-statutory Stock
         Option shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of such
         shares on the date of the grant.

         During 1997, an employee was granted a $25,000 stock option as a
         performance bonus. The stock option vested $15,000 as of the date of
         the agreement and $10,000 in May, 1998 and has not been exercised as of
         December 31, 1998. The stock option was granted at the price of $.50

(6)      Shareholders' equity, continued:

         Holders of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock may convert each of
         their shares of stock into an equal number of Common Stock during the
         conversion period (February 15, 1999 to February 15, 2003). At the end
         of business on February 15, 2003, all outstanding shares of Series A
         and Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company at the
         price of $.50 per share and $1.00 per share, respectively.

         Buy-sell agreement:

         The majority shareholders of the Company are party to a buy-sell
         agreement. Based on the agreement, the majority shareholders shall not
         be permitted to sell their shares without first offering them to the
         Company and the other shareholders at the price offered by the proposed
         purchaser. The Company shall have the first right of refusal.

         If for reason other than death a majority shareholder's shares are
         transferred by operation of law to any person other than the Company
         (involuntary transfer), the Company within sixty days, or the remaining
         shareholders within seventy days shall purchase the shares at book
         value. Upon the death of a majority shareholder, the Company shall
         purchase such shares at the certificate of value in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles within 90 days. If for any
         reason the Company is prevented from acquiring the stock or the value
         of the stock according to the method of valuation provided by the
         agreement exceeds the insurance proceeds, the remaining majority
         shareholder shall execute a promissory note in an amount representing
         the excess. The note shall be paid on or before 36 months from the date
         of death with interest at 8% per annum.

(7)      Income taxes:

         During 1998, the Company did not have a current income tax liability
         due to its net operating losses. The Company has a deferred tax asset
         resulting from the net operating losses and a deferred tax liability
         resulting from temporary differences in depreciation. A valuation
         allowance has been established to fully reserve the excess of the
         deferred tax asset over the deferred tax liability due to the
         uncertainty of the utilization of the operating loss carryforward.

         As of December 31, 1998, the Company has a net operating loss
         carryforward of approximately $2.8 million expiring through the year
         2013.

(8)      Employee benefit plan:

         The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees.
         Employees are eligible to participate after six months of service and
         attaining the age of 21. Under the terms of the plan, employees are
         entitled to contribute from 1% to 15% of their total compensation,
         within limitations established by the Internal Revenue Code. The
         Company does not make a matching contribution.

(9)      Contingencies:

         Going concern:

         The Company has suffered recurring operating losses which has caused a
         working capital deficiency of $2,909,810 and a net worth deficiency of
         $2,771,851. This working capital deficiency has prevented the Company
         from meeting its current obligations to make note payments, remit
         payroll taxes withheld from employee pay and to pay accounts with
         certain vendor creditors. As more fully described in note 3, the
         Company is in default on its loan covenants with a bank. These
         conditions cause the balances to become due upon demand.

         The Company is not aware of any alternate sources of capital to meet
         such demands, if made. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about
         the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
         financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
         from the outcome of this uncertainty.

         The Company's continued ability to operate is dependent on its ability
         to generate profitable operations, negotiate payment terms with its
         bank and vendors and raise additional capital. Management has hired
         consultants to assist in developing a plan to make the Company
         profitable and negotiate terms with its bank and vendors. Management is
         also actively trying to raise additional capital and has entered into
         negotiations with a potential buyer. There can be no assurances that
         the plan will be implemented in time for the Company to continue its
         operations in its present form.

                                   (unaudited)

                                 March 31, 1999

Note A: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments ( consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the Three month period ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in this report.

ITEM 7(b)

     ARI NETWORK SERVICES, INC.
     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION



     The following unaudited pro forma financial information relates to the
Company's May 13, 1999 acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the
assumption of specified liabilities of Network Dynamics, Inc. ("NDI"). The
transaction will be accounted for as a purchase business combination. The pro
forma amounts have been prepared based on certain purchase accounting and other
pro forma adjustments (as described in the accompanying notes) to the historical
financial statements of the Company and NDI.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet at April 30, 1999 reflects
the historical financial position of the Company and NDI at April 30, 1999, with
pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred on April 30, 1999. The
unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended
April 30, 1999 reflects the historical results of both companies with pro forma
adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred on August 1, 1998. The unaudited
pro forma condensed statement of operations for the year ended July 31, 1998
reflects the historical results of operations of the Company for the twelve
months ended July, 31, 1998 and NDI for the twelve months ended December 31,
1998, with pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred on August 1,
1997. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and give
effect to events that are (a) directly attributable to the acquisition, (b)
factually supportable, and (c) in the case of certain statement of operations
adjustments, expected to have a continuing impact. Statement of operations
information of NDI for the months of August, September, October, November and
December of 1998 are included in both the annual and the interim pro forma
consolidated statements of operations.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in
connection with the Company's and NDI's historical financial statements and
related footnotes.

     The unaudited pro forma financial information presented is for information
purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Company's and NDI's
financial position or results of operations as of the dates presented would have
been had the acquisition in fact occurred on such date or at the beginning of
the period indicated or to project the Company's and NDI's financial position or
results of operations for any future date or period.
