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,  1999,  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, 2000, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000.

2.       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December  1999, the SEC released Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  ("SAB) No. 101,
"Revenue  Recognition in Financial  Statements,"  which provides guidance on the
recognition,  presentation  and  disclosure  of revenue in financial  statements
filed with the SEC.  Subsequently,  the SEC released SAB 101A, which delayed the
implementation  date of SAB 101 for  registrants  with  fiscal  years that begin
between  December 16, 1999 and March 15, 2000. In June 2000,  the SEC issued SAB
101B,  further  delaying the required  implementation  of SAB 101 by the Company
until the fourth  quarter of fiscal year 2000.  The Company  does not expect the
application  of SAB 101 to have a material  impact on its financial  position or
results of operations.

3.       ISSUANCE OF SUBORDINATED NOTES

During the second and third quarters of 2000,  the Company  issued  Subordinated

million and bearing  interest of 13.5%. The Promissory Notes are subordinated to
the  Company's  revolving  line of credit and are  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  Notes may be prepaid at any time  without  premium  or  penalty.  CE
Computer Equipment AG is the lender of the Promissory Notes.

During the first  quarter of 2000,  the Company  issued  15,706 shares 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.

During the second  quarter of 2000,  the Company issued 107,408 shares of Common
Stock as  quarterly  dividends to the  shareholders  of the  Company's  Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.

6.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The  Company  has  entered  into an  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger  dated as of
November  19, 1999 (the "Merger  Agreement")  with CE Computer  Equipment  AG, a
German  corporation.  CE Computer Equipment and the Company amended and restated
the Merger agreement as of May 8, 2000, to reflect that they no longer intend to
account for the  transaction as a pooling of interests and expect that they will
account for the  acquisition  as a purchase  transaction.  Provided that certain

                                       8
<PAGE>

conditions are met, as set forth in the Merger  Agreement,  at the conclusion of
the merger,  the Company  will become a wholly owned  subsidiary  of CE Computer
Equipment.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,  CE Computer Equipment will
issue a total of 6,650,000  Ordinary  Shares in the form of American  Depositary
Shares ("ADSs") in exchange for the outstanding  shares of the Company's  Common
Stock and Preferred Stock and for the  outstanding  warrants and options for the
Company's  Common Stock.  The merger is subject to governmental  and shareholder
approvals and customary closing conditions. Shareholders owning more than 33% of
the  Company's  Common  Stock have  agreed to vote their  shares in favor of the
merger, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2000.

                     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. Some risks and  uncertainties of the Company that should be considered
by the reader include:

         The Company has had net losses in each period of its  operations  since
its inception,  except for four quarters,  and it had an accumulated  deficit at
September  30, 2000,  of $142  million.  Although the Company  expects  improved
operating  results in the future,  there can be no  assurances  that the Company
will not experience adverse results of operations in the future.

         The  Company's  securities  are listed on the Nasdaq  National  Market,
which  requires  companies  to  comply  with  certain  listing  and  maintenance
requirements.  In 1997,  the Company fell below the  requirement to maintain net
tangible assets of at least $4 million. The Company appealed to a Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel, who allowed the Company to continue to trade on Nasdaq but
required the Company to have a minimum of $6 million in net  tangible  assets to
ensure  long-term  compliance  with the  requirement.  The Company  achieved net
tangible  assets in excess of $6 million at the end of 1997, and the Company has
since that time maintained net tangible assets over $4 million.  As of September
30, 2000,  the Company again fell below the net tangible asset  requirement.  In
the event that the  contemplated  merger  with CE Computer  Equipment  AG is not
effected,  the Company will consider  additional  offerings of equity securities
and/or  further  reductions of operating  expenses  (such as travel,  marketing,
consulting  and  salaries) to achieve  compliance  with the Nasdaq  requirement.
Although  the Company  believes it can raise  additional  capital if  necessary,
there can be no assurance that financing, if sought, will be available.

         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 into the marketplace.

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

                   Revenues.  Total  revenues were $5.8 million and $8.7 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The $2.9
million  decrease in revenue was the result of a decrease in product  revenue of
$3.0  million,  or 58%, and an increase in service  revenue of $100,000,  or 4%.
Management  believes  that the  decrease  in product  revenue  was the result of
certain events and factors that include the delayed  implementation of sales and
marketing  plans  due to the  pending  merger  and the delay in  completing  the
merger;  the  inability to attract and retain  qualified  sales  representatives
pending the merger;  the  inability to close  forecasted  sales;  and  increased
competition in the Company's banking sector.  Although  Management believes that
the  closing of the  pending  merger in the near term will  result in  increased
sales,  there can be no  assurances  that these  trends will not  continue.  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  decreased
19% for the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to the same period
in 1999,  as cost of  products  sold  increased  from 30% to 49% of  sales.  The
decrease  in product  sales  margins  from 70% to 51% was  primarily  due to the
decrease in hardware margin contribution as a result of competitive pressures in
obtaining or securing  sales.  Profit margins for service sales decreased 5% for
the three months ended September 30, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999,
as the cost of  services  increased  from 63% to 68% of sales.  The  decrease in
service  sales  margins from 37% to 32% was largely due to the increase in costs
related to third party consultants.

                   Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing  expenses were $2.4
million,  or 41% of revenue,  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000,
compared to $2.7 million,  or 31% of revenue,  for the same period in 1999.  The
decrease  of  $300,000,  or 13%,  was the result of the reduced  sales  expenses
attributable to the decrease in product revenue for the quarter.

                   General  and   administrative.   General  and  administrative
expenses  were $1.0  million,  or 17% of  revenue,  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $800,000,  or 9% of revenue, for the same period
in 1999.  The  increase of  $200,000,  or 32%,  was due to  increased  operating
expenses related to costs associated with the pending merger, increased employee
benefits, business taxes, legal fees and rent and utilities on the new corporate
office facility.

                   Product development.  The Company's  expenditures on software
research and  development  activities  in the three months ended  September  30,
2000,  were $1.7 million,  of which $700,000 were  capitalized  and $1.0 million
were expensed. Research and development expenditures for the same period in 1999
were $1.5  million,  of which  $400,000 were  capitalized  and $1.1 million were
expensed. The $200,000 increase in research and development expenditures was due
to the  Company's  continued  development  of new products and  enhancements  to
existing  products  to maintain  the  Company's  competitive  product and market
position.

                                       11
<PAGE>
                   Net loss.  The  Company's net loss for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, was $2.4 million as compared to a net profit of $280,000 for
the  comparable  period  of 1999.  The net loss  increase  of $2.7  million  was
primarily due to the decrease in revenue and related margins.

                   Net loss applicable to Common Shares. The net loss applicable
to common  shares  includes  adjustments  for  dividend  amounts  related to the
Company's  preferred  shares.  The net loss applicable to common shares was $2.8
million,  or $0.17 per share,  for the three months ended September 30, 2000, as
compared to $56,000 or $0.00 per share,  for the comparable  period in 1999. The
increase in net loss applicable to common shares is attributable to the increase
in net loss described above.

Results of Operations - Nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

                   Revenues. Total revenues were $16.7 million and $22.1 million
for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The $5.4
million  decrease in revenue was the result of a decrease in product  revenue of
$5.8 million,  or 47%, offset by an increase in service revenue of $400,000,  or
4%.  Management  believes that the decrease in product revenue was the result of
certain events and factors that include the delayed  implementation of sales and
marketing  plans  due to the  pending  merger  and the delay in  completing  the
merger;  the  inability to attract and retain  qualified  sales  representatives
pending the merger;  the  inability to close  forecasted  sales;  and  increased
competition in the Company's banking sector.  Although  Management believes that
the  closing of the  pending  merger in the near term will  result in  increased
sales,  there can be no  assurances  that these  trends will not  continue.  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 decreased 9%
for the nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  compared to the same period in
1999, as cost of products sold increased from 43% to 52% of sales.  The decrease
in  product  sales  margins  from 57% to 48% was due to a decrease  in  hardware
margin  contribution  as a result  of  competitive  pressures  in  obtaining  or
securing  sales.  Profit  margins for service  sales  decreased  2% for the nine
months ended  September  30, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999,  as the
cost of services  increased  from 64% to 66% of sales.  The  decrease in service
sales  margins from 36% to 34% was largely due to the increase in costs  related
to third party consultants.

                   Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing  expenses were $7.7
million,  or 46% of  revenue,  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,
compared to $7.8 million,  or 35% of revenue,  for the same period in 1999.  The
decrease  of  $100,000,  or 1%, was the  result of the  reduced  sales  expenses
attributable to the decrease in product revenue for the period.

                   General  and   administrative.   General  and  administrative
expenses  were  $3.0  million,  or 18% of  revenue,  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000,  compared to $2.4 million,  or 11% of revenue,  for the same
period in 1999. The increase of $600,000, or 24%, was due to increased operating
expenses related to costs associated with the pending merger, increased employee
benefits, business taxes, legal fees and rent and utilities on the new corporate
office facility.

                   Product development.  The Company's  expenditures on software
research and  development  activities  for the nine months ended  September  30,
2000, were $4.9 million, of which $1.7 million were capitalized and $3.2 million
were expensed. Research and development expenditures for the same period in 1999
were $4.4 million,  of which $1.3 million were capitalized and $3.1 million were
expensed. The $500,000 increase in research and development expenditures was due
to the  Company's  continued  development  of new products and  enhancements  to
existing  products  to maintain  the  Company's  competitive  product and market
position.

                   Net loss.  The  Company's  net loss for the nine months ended
September  30,  2000,  was $8.1  million as  compared  to $3.0  million  for the
comparable  period in 1999.  The net loss increase of $5.1 million was primarily
due to the decrease in revenue and related margins,  along with the increases in
general and  administrative  expenses as described above and a $600,000 increase
in interest expense due to increased borrowings under the subordinated notes.

                   Net loss applicable to Common Shares. The net loss applicable
to common  shares  includes  adjustments  for  dividend  amounts  related to the
Company's  preferred  shares.  The net loss applicable to common shares was $9.1
million,  or $.59 per share,  for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000, as
compared to $4.0 million or $.32 per share,  for the comparable  period in 1999.
The increase in net loss  applicable  to common  shares is  attributable  to the
increase in net loss described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of  September  30,  2000,  the Company had $750,000 in cash and cash
equivalents,  as  compared  to $1.9  million  in cash  and cash  equivalents  at
December 31, 1999. Net working  capital was $(6.2) million at September 30, 2000
and $2.2 million at December 31, 1999.  The Company's  net tangible  assets were
$(450,000)  and $7.4  million as of  September  30, 2000 and  December 31, 1999,
respectively.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the $1.1 million decrease
in cash  and  cash  equivalents  resulted  from  $2.1  million  in cash  used in
operating  activities  and $1.6  million in cash used in  investing  activities,
offset by $2.6 million in cash provided by financing activities.

         The $2.1 million used in operating  activities arose primarily from the
$8.1  million  loss from  operations,  offset by the $2.5  million  decrease  in
accounts and notes receivable,  the $700,000  increase in accrued expenses,  the
$500,000  increase in deferred  revenue and the $1.7 million in depreciation and
amortization  charges.  The $1.6  million  used in  investing  activities  arose
primarily from capitalized software  development costs of $1.7million.  The $2.6
million  provided by financing  activities arose primarily from the $2.5 million
proceeds from the issuance of the  promissory  notes and $500,000  proceeds from
the  issuance  of common  stock,  offset by the  $300,000 in  repayments  of the
Company's revolving 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 line of credit shall remain in effect until  November 30, 2000. 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, 2000, the Company had $4.5 million  outstanding  under the line
of credit.

         Although the Company expects improved  operating  results in the fourth
quarter and in the future,  there can be no assurances that the Company will not
continue to experience  adverse  results of  operations in the future.  Although
management  believes  that the closing of the pending  merger  transaction  will
improve  operating  results  and  increase  software  sales,  there  can  be  no
assurances  that the operating  results will improve in the near term.  Although
the Company  believes,  based on its current  forecasts  and  budgets,  that its
existing cash and cash flows from operations should provide sufficient resources
to fund its  activities  and  operations  through the next twelve  months and to
maintain its listing on the Nasdaq National Market,  anticipated 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  additional  borrowings  or
offerings of debt or equity  securities  and/or further  reductions of operating
expenses, such as travel, marketing, consulting and salaries.
