                        September 30, 1999 and 1998
                          (Unaudited and restated)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  unaudited  financial  statements  presented  herein  have been  prepared in
accordance with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report  on Form  10-K  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1998  which  include
information  and  note  disclosures  not  included  herein.  In the  opinion  of
management  all  adjustments,  which  include  only those of a normal  recurring
nature, necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position, results of
operations  and  cash  flows  have  been  made  to  the  accompanying  financial
statements.  The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September
30, 1999 may not be  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1999.

2.   RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to  filing a  Form  10-Q with the  SEC which  included  the Company's
quarterly  financial  statements  for the three  and nine  month  periods  ended
September  30,  1999,  the  Company  became  aware that the timing and amount of
reported earned revenues from license transactions in 1999 required revision.

During 1999, TREEV initiated relationships with new customers under its Business
Alliance Program (the "BAP") which allowed the customers to purchase licenses of
the Company's  software  products at discounted  rates based on commitments from
the BAP customers to meet certain volume requirements.  The terms and conditions
of the BAP agreements were consistent  with prior  agreements  entered into with
longstanding  customers in similar  lines of business.  The Company  anticipated
these BAP customers,  primarily value added resellers,  systems integrators, and
original  equipment  manufacturers,  would increase the  distribution and market
share of its document management  solutions.  The Company's management evaluated
the new BAP  customers'  credit  ratings,  business  reputation,  and ability to
comply  with  the  terms  of  the  BAP   agreements   prior  to  initiating  the
relationships.   However,  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  1999,  the  Company
experienced  a significant  number of new BAP  customers not complying  with the
financial  obligations  under the BAP  agreements as amounts became due in full.
The Company's  management initiated a review of these relationships to determine
the degree of  correlation  among the new BAP  customers  and lack of  financial
performance in a timely manner. In addition,  the Company considered the lack of
financial   performance  of  the  new  BAP  customers,   as  a  class,   to  the
collectibility  criteria of SOP 97-2 and determined  that the software  revenues
related to such  arrangements no longer met that criteria as amounts due by this
class of  customers  were  generally  not paid in full  when  due.  Based on the
results  of  management's  review  of new  BAP  customers,  the  Company,  after
consultation  with its independent  auditors,  determined that certain  revenues
previously  recognized  should be reversed  and  recognized  when  payments  are
received from new BAP customers until sufficient history with specific customers
is achieved to determine the likelihood  that the new BAP  customers'  financial
obligations will be met in accordance with the original terms of such agreement.

In addition to the reversal of certain revenues as discussed  above, the Company
reversed  related  costs  of  revenue  and  commissions   attributable  to  such
transactions  and certain  other  expenses  related  thereto.  The Company  also
reversed  legal fees that had been accrued  during the quarter  attributable  to
certain  litigation  that was  resolved  in the third  quarter of 1999,  as such
amounts were not paid.

3.   LINE OF CREDIT

During the first  quarter of 1999,  the Company  secured a $5 million  revolving
line of credit from a commercial  bank. The Company can draw up to $5 million on
the line of  credit  for  working  capital  needs  based on 80% of its  eligible
receivables. The line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to prime plus 2%.
The current interest rate at September 30, 1999, was 10.25%. The agreement shall
remain  in  effect  until  February  28,  2000,  and  automatically  renews  for
successive   additional   terms  of  one  year  each.  The  line  of  credit  is
collateralized  by  all  of  the  Company's  accounts   receivable,   inventory,
equipment, general intangibles, and other personal property assets. At September
30, 1999, the Company had $3,301,000 outstanding under the line of credit.

4.       CONVERTIBLE NOTES REDEMPTION

During the first  quarter of 1999,  the Company  redeemed in cash the  remaining
$200,000 of the 8%  Convertible  Notes (the  "Notes")  due August 20,  2002.  At
September 30, 1999, all of the Notes had been converted or redeemed.
                                       -8-
<PAGE>
5.       ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company  completed a private  placement of
388,500 shares of Common Stock pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. Proceeds from the offering were $777,000 and offering costs
were approximately $71,000.

During the first and third  quarters  of 1999,  the  Company  issued  45,555 and
30,510 shares, respectively,  of Common Stock under the Company's Employee Stock
Purchase  Plan  ("the  Plan").  Employees  can choose to have up to 10% of their
annual earnings withheld to purchase the Company's Common Stock. Under the terms
of the Plan, there are two six-month  offering periods  beginning on January 1st
and July 1st of each year during which employees can  participate.  The purchase
price is  determined  by taking 85% of the lower of (a) the  average of the high
and low market prices on the offering  commencement  date and (b) the average of
the high and low market prices on the offering  termination  date.  The terms of
the Plan require that the purchaser hold the shares purchased under the Plan for
a minimum of six months from the date the offering period ends.

6.       ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

During the second quarter of 1999, the Company issued,  pursuant to Regulation D
under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  8%  Convertible  Notes  (the
"Convertible  Notes") due October 1, 1999,  totaling  $2,000,000,  together with
warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00
per  share.  The  Company  estimated  the  fair  value  of  the  warrants  to be
approximately  $50,000  in the  aggregate  and has  recognized  this  additional
borrowing cost over the term of the Convertible  Notes pursuant to the effective
interest rate method. After giving consideration to the stated interest rate and
the  estimated  fair value of the warrants at the issuance  date,  the Company's
effective  interest  rate  related to the  Convertible  Notes was  approximately
14.9%. The Convertible Notes were convertible,  at the Company's election,  into
Common Stock at a conversion  price of $2.00 per share.  On September  30, 1999,
the Convertible  Notes and related interest were converted into 1,042,877 shares
of Common Stock.

7.       ISSUANCE OF SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTES

During  the  third  quarter  of 1999,  the  Company  issued  a 14%  Subordinated
Promissory Note (the "Promissory Note") due June 1, 2000,  totaling  $1,100,000.
The Promissory Note is  subordinated  to the Company's  revolving line of credit
and is collateralized by all of the Company's  accounts  receivable,  inventory,
equipment,  general  intangibles,  and other personal property assets.  Interest
payments  are due  monthly  and the  Promissory  Note may be prepaid at any time
without premium or penalty.

8.       BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic  business  units that sell its
products  and  services to a wide  variety of  customers  throughout  the United
States.  The  products  segment  includes  sales  of  software  licenses  of the
Company's TREEV Suite of document  management  software and computer  equipment.
The  services  segment  includes  sales  of  software   maintenance   contracts,
installation, training, and customization.

                                       -9-

software maintenance contracts,  installation,  training, and customization. The
following  table sets forth  summarized  financial  information  concerning  the
Company's  reportable segments for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
(in thousands).  The "Corporate"  column  includes  corporate  related items and
expenses not allocated to reportable segments,  such as sale of subsidiaries and
restructuring costs.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors

         This "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations"  section of this  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q contains
certain  forward  looking  statements  that are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties.  In  addition,  the Company may publish or make  forward  looking
statements  from time to time relating to such matters as anticipated  financial
performance,  business  prospects and strategies,  sales and marketing  efforts,
technological  developments,  new products, research and development activities,
and  similar  matters.  The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995
provides a safe harbor for forward looking  statements.  In order to comply with
the terms of the safe harbor,  the Company notes that a variety of factors could
cause the Company's  actual results to differ  materially  from the  anticipated
results or other  expectations made in the Company's forward looking  statements
in this Quarterly Report or elsewhere.  Readers should carefully review the risk
factors  described in other  documents  the Company files from time to time with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically any Current Reports on Form
8-K filed by the  Company.  Some risks and  uncertainties  of the  Company  that
should be considered by the reader include:

         The adverse results of operations that the Company has experienced have
been  declining.  Although the Company  expects the trend of improved  operating
results  to  continue,  there can be no  assurances  that the  Company  will not
experience adverse results of operations in the future.

         The Company has had net losses in each period of its  operations  since
its inception,  except for three quarters,  and it had an accumulated deficit at
September 30, 1999 of $135 million.

         The computer  industry,  including  the  information  access,  document
management,  imaging and optical disk storage segments,  is highly  competitive,
and is characterized by rapid and continuous technological change. The Company's
future  profitability  will depend on, among other things,  market acceptance of
the  Company's  products and on the  Company's  ability to develop,  in a timely
fashion,  enhancements  to existing  products or new  products.  There can be no
assurance  that the  Company  will be able to market  successfully  its  current
products,  develop and market enhancements to existing products or introduce new
products.

         Revenues  for any  period  depend  on the  number,  size and  timing of
license  agreements.  The size and timing of license  agreements is difficult to
forecast  because  software  sales  cycles  are  affected  by the  nature of the
transactions, including the scope of

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

the solutions to be licensed and the  organizational and geographic scope of the
licenses.  Also,  the  number,  size and  timing of  license  agreements  may be
affected by external  factors  including  the effects of such  conditions on the
Company's customers and prospects, or competitors' actions. A small variation in
the timing of software licensing transactions,  particularly near the end of any
quarter or year, can cause  significant  variations in software  product license
revenues in any period.

Year 2000 Readiness

         The Year 2000 computer  problem  originated  from  programmers  writing
software code that used two digits instead of four to represent the year.  After
December 31, 1999,  computers and software may incorrectly  assume that the year
is "1900" rather than "2000." This could lead to system failures and disruptions
to activities and operations.  In addition,  Year 2000 is a leap year, which may
further exacerbate incorrect calculations, functions or system failures. At this
time it is difficult to predict the effects such disruptions  could have and the
liabilities  that any company may face as a result of these failures.  Moreover,
companies  must not only consider their own products and computer  systems,  but
also the Year 2000 readiness of any third parties, including principal vendors.

State of Readiness

         The Company  became aware in 1997 of its potential Year 2000 issues and
established  a plan to assess  its Year  2000  issues  and  develop  an  overall
strategy.  In 1998,  the Company began an  assessment  of its products,  its own
information  technology  ("IT") and non-IT systems and the Company's  vendors to
determine whether they are or will be Year 2000 ready. To ensure that the IT and
non-IT  systems  are,  or will be,  Year 2000  ready,  surveys of the  Company's
products,  services  and systems  were  conducted.  These  included:  audits and
analyses of the Company's  internal IT systems including  hardware and software;
assessment of critical  non-IT systems;  and surveys on principal  vendors as to
Year 2000  readiness.  The  Company  identified  several  internal IT and non-IT
systems that were not Year 2000 ready.  These internal  systems have either been
replaced  or  modified  with Year 2000 ready  systems or will be upgraded to the
Year 2000 ready  product.  All  internal  system  upgrades  are  expected  to be
completed  by the fourth  quarter of 1999.  The  Company  has  received  written
assurances from material principal vendors as to Year 2000 readiness within that
timeframe.

         The majority of the Company's  efforts  regarding  Year 2000  readiness
focused on the Company's products,  specifically  software  applications.  As an
integral part of the Company's  assessment of whether its software  products are
Year 2000 ready it has  established  a Year 2000 test force (the "Test  Force").
The Test Force has been tasked with  providing  testing  and  validation  of the
Company's Year 2000 readiness of its software  products  currently being sold to
its customers. The Company believes that the current versions of the TREEV Suite
of software products are Year 2000 ready.

                                     -12-
<PAGE>

Customers  using versions other than current  versions of the software  products
have been  given the  opportunity,  pursuant  to  maintenance  plans or  upgrade
options, to receive current versions of the software.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Readiness Issues

         The  calculation  of costs  incurred  has been  limited to bringing the
Company's  software  products,  and its own IT and  non-IT  systems to Year 2000
readiness  or to  accelerating  replacement  systems to become  Year 2000 ready.
Costs incurred in the normal  maintenance of the Company's IT and non-IT systems
are not included. The total cost of the Year 2000 readiness project is estimated
at $730,000  and is being  funded  through  operating  cash flows.  Of the total
project cost,  approximately  $255,000 is  attributable  to  enhancements of the
Company's  software products and the purchase of new IT and non-IT systems which
will be capitalized.  The remaining $475,000 which will be expensed as incurred,
is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations. To date,
the Company has incurred  approximately $665,000 ($465,000 expensed and $200,000
capitalized)  related to the assessment and validation  efforts on the Year 2000
readiness project and the development of a modification plan and purchase of new
IT and non-IT systems and systems modifications.

         The costs of the Year 2000 readiness  project and the date by which the
Company  believes it will  complete the Year 2000  readiness  modifications  are
based on  management's  best  estimates and are based on certain  assumptions of
future events,  including the continued  availability  of certain  resources and
other factors.  However,  there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be
achieved and actual  results  could differ  materially  from those  anticipated.
Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not
limited  to, the  availability  and cost of  personnel  trained in the Year 2000
readiness  area and the  ability to locate and  correct  all  relevant  computer
codes.

Company's Contingency Plans

         At the present time, the Company  anticipates  that essential  software
products  and IT and non-IT  systems will be validated as Year 2000 ready in all
material respects. This belief is based on the progress to date and the assessed
degree of difficulty  associated with the remaining  phases to achieve Year 2000
readiness.  Contingency plans are under development and the Company  anticipates
that acceptable  alternatives  will be available in the event that a contingency
arises.  These contingency plans generally anticipate use of alternative vendors
for hardware and  operating  systems.  Nevertheless,  it is not possible for the
Company to fully assess the likelihood or magnitude of consequences of Year 2000
issues, should representations made by vendors prove to be in error.

Results of Operations - Nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

                   Revenues. Total revenues were $22.2 million and $19.7 million
for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The $2.5
million  increase in revenue was the result of an increase in product revenue of
$1.1 million,  or 10%, and an increase in service  revenue of $1.4  million,  or
17%. The increase in product revenue was attributable to continued growth of the
Company's direct and indirect channels along with the introduction of the eTREEV
product  technology.  The  increase  in  service  revenue  was  attributable  to
increased  staffing  and  continued  management  emphasis  on  the  professional
services business.

                   Profit margins. Profit margins for product sales increased 3%
for the nine months ended  September  30,  1999,  compared to the same period in
1998, as cost of products sold decreased from 46% to 43% of sales.  The increase
in product  sales  margins from 54% to 57% was  primarily  due to the  increased
sales  mix of the  Company's  internally  developed  software  products.  Profit
margins for service sales  increased 3% for the nine months ended  September 30,
1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, as the cost of services  decreased
from 67% to 64% of sales.  The increase in service sales margins from 33% to 36%
was due to the  Company's  continued  emphasis  on its  custom  development  and
professional services.

                   Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing  expenses were $7.8
million  or 35% of  revenue,  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,
compared to $8.6 million,  or 44% of revenue,  for the same period in 1998.  The
decrease of $800,000, or 9%, was the result of continuing cost reduction efforts
by the Company.

                   General and  administrative.  G&A expenses were $2.4 million,
or 11% of revenue,  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  compared to
$3.2 million,  or 16% of revenue,  for the same period in 1998.  The decrease of
$800,000, or 25%, was due to the Company's continued cost reduction efforts.

                   Product development.  The Company's  expenditures on software
research and development  activities ("R&D") for the nine months ended September
30, 1999,  were $4.4  million,  of which $1.3 million was  capitalized  and $3.1
million was  expensed.  R&D  expenditures  for the same period in 1998 were $4.0
million,  of which $1.1 million was  capitalized  and $2.9 million was expensed.
The $400,000  increase in R&D  expenditures  was primarily  attributable  to the
development of the Company's new eTREEV product technology.

                   Net loss.  The  Company's  net loss for the nine months ended
September  30, 1999,  was $(3.0)  million as compared to $(7.4)  million for the
comparable  period in 1998. The net loss decrease of $4.3 million was due to the
increase in gross margins, the decrease in sales and marketing and G&A expenses,
and the  restructuring  charge incurred in the second quarter of 1998, offset by
an increase in product development costs.


                   Net loss applicable to Common Shares. The net loss applicable
to common  shares  includes  adjustments  for  dividend  amounts  related to the
Company's  preferred  stock. The net loss applicable to common shares was $(4.0)
million,  or $(0.32) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to $(8.4) million,  or $(1.13) per share, for the comparable  period in
1998. The decrease in net loss  applicable to common shares is  attributable  to
the decrease in net loss described above and an increase in the weighted average
shares outstanding.

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

                   Revenues.  Total  revenues were $8.7 million and $6.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The $2.3
million  increase in revenue was the result of an increase in product revenue of
$1.8 million,  or 53%, and an increase in service  revenue of $500,000,  or 17%.
The increase in product  revenue was  attributable  to  continued  growth of the
Company's direct and indirect channels along with the introduction of the eTREEV
product  technology.  The  increase  in service  revenues  was  attributable  to
increased  staffing  and  continued  management  emphasis  on  the  professional
services business.

                   Profit  margins.  Profit margins for product sales  increased
14% for the three months ended  September 30, 1999,  compared to the same period
in 1998,  as cost of  products  sold  decreased  from 44% to 30% of  sales.  The
increase  in product  sales  margins  from 56% to 70% was  primarily  due to the
increased sales mix of the Company's  internally  developed  software  products.
Profit  margins  for  service  sales  increased  1% for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1999, compared to the same period in 1998, as the cost of services
decreased  from 64% to 63% of sales.  The increase in service sales margins from
36% to 37% was due to the Company's continued emphasis on its custom development
and professional services.

                   Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing  expenses were $2.7
million,  or 31% of revenue,  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999,
compared to $2.7 million,  or 43% of revenue,  for the same period in 1998.  The
associated expenses remained stable over the comparable periods.

                   General and  administrative.  G&A expenses were $800,000,  or
9% of revenue,  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  compared to
$900,000,  or 15% of  revenue,  for the same  period in 1998.  The  decrease  of
$100,000, or 11%, was due to the Company's continued cost reduction efforts.


                   Product development.  The Company's  expenditures on software
R&D activities for the three months ended September 30, 1999, were $1.5 million,
of  which  $400,000  was  capitalized   and  $1.1  million  was  expensed.   R&D
expenditures  for the same period in 1998 were $1.3 million,  of which  $300,000
was  capitalized  and $1.0 million was  expensed.  The $200,000  increase in R&D
expenditures was primarily  attributable to the development of the Company's new
eTREEV product technology.

                   Net income  (loss).  The  Company's  net income for the three
months ended  September 30, 1999,  was $281,000 as compared to a $(1.6)  million
net loss  for the  comparable  period  in 1998.  The net loss  decrease  of $1.9
million  was  primarily  attributable  to the  $2.0  million  increase  in gross
margins.


                   Net income (loss)  applicable to Common Shares.  The net loss
applicable to common shares includes adjustments for dividend amounts related to
the Company's  preferred stock.  The net income  applicable to common shares was
$(56,000),  or $.(00) per share,  for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
as  compared  to a net loss of $(2.0)  million,  or $(0.24)  per share,  for the
comparable  period in 1998. The decrease in net loss applicable to common shares
was  attributable to the decrease in net loss described above and an increase in
the weighted average shares outstanding.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of  September  30,  1999,  the Company had $528,000 in cash and cash
equivalents,  as  compared  to $1.6  million  in cash  and cash  equivalents  at
December 31, 1998.  Net working  capital was $1.6 million at September 30, 1999,
and $2.5 million at December 31, 1998.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the $1.1 million decrease
in cash and cash  equivalents  resulted  from $6.1 million in cash  generated by
financing  activities,  offset by $5.9 million used to fund operating activities
and $1.3 million in cash used to fund investing activities.

         The $6.1 million provided by financing  activities arose primarily from
the issuance of the convertible notes and the subordinated  notes along with the
draws under the  Company's  revolving  line of credit.  The $5.9 million used by
operating  activities  arose primarily with respect to the $3.0 million net loss
from operations, offset by the $1.7  million in  depreciation  and  amortization

                                      -16-

charges,  the $1.7  million  increase  in  accounts  receivable,  the  $800,0000
decrease in accrued expenses and the $2.1 decrease in deferred revenues. The$1.3
million used by investing  activities  arose  primarily from the $1.3 million in
capitalized software development cost.

         During the first  quarter  of 1999,  the  Company  secured a $5 million
revolving  line of credit from a commercial  bank. The Company can draw up to $5
million  on the line of credit for  working  capital  needs  based on 80% of its
eligible receivables. The line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to prime
plus 2%. The line of credit shall remain in effect until  February 28, 2000, and
automatically renews for successive  additional terms of one year each. The line
of  credit  is  collateralized  by  all of the  Company's  accounts  receivable,
inventory, equipment, general intangibles, and other personal property assets.

         The adverse results of operations that the Company has experienced have
been  declining.  Although the Company  expects the trend of improved  operating
results  to  continue,  there can be no  assurances  that the  Company  will not
experience  adverse  results of operations in the future.  The Company  believes
that its existing cash,  cash flows from operations and  availability  under its
line of  credit  should  provide  sufficient  resources  to fund its  activities
through the next twelve  months and to maintain net tangible  assets of at least
$4.0  million,  which is  required  for  continued  inclusion  of the  Company's
securities on the Nasdaq National Market. Cash flows from operations are largely
dependent  upon the  Company's  ability  to achieve  its sales and gross  profit
objectives  for its TREEV  Suite of  products.  If the Company is unable to meet
these objectives,  it will consider  alternative  sources of liquidity,  such as
additional offerings of equity securities and/or further reductions of operating
expenses (such as travel, marketing, consulting and salaries).

         Nasdaq  announced new listing  requirements  on February 23, 1998,  for
continued  inclusion  on  the  Nasdaq  National  Market.  Specifically,   Nasdaq
requires,  effective  February 23, 1998, that common and preferred stock trading
on its National Market  continuously have a minimum bid price of $1.00. At times
in 1997 and 1998, the Company's Common Stock had a minimum bid price below $1.00
before the  one-for-four  reverse  stock split in December  1998.  The Company's
Preferred Stock has consistently  traded with a minimum bid price of over $1.00.
Although the  Company's  Common  Stock is  currently  trading with a minimum bid
price above $1.00,  there can be no assurance  that the  Company's  Common Stock
will  continue  to trade with such a minimum  bid  price.  In the event that the
Company's Common Stock has a minimum bid price below $1.00, the Company believes
it can propose and effect a plan to achieve compliance; however, there can be no
assurance  that the Company will be able to stay in  compliance  with the Nasdaq
requirement.  While  the  Company  believes  that it can  continue  to meet  the
requirements  of the Nasdaq  Stock  Market,  any  ability to trade on a national
exchange could adversely impact the value of the Company's stock.
