              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting.
     Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
     statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
     statements included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the
     year ended December 31, 1995.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as
     the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments,
     consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
     presentation of the interim periods presented. The operating results for
     the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results
     which would be expected for the full year.

2.   Loss Per Common Share

     Loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
     common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period
     presented. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options converted
     using the treasury stock method and are included in the calculation only if
     dilutive.

3.   Income Taxes

     The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period
     based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year for each
     tax reporting corporate entity. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision
     are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated
     annual effective rate is determined.

     The Company has approximately $16,500,000 of available net operating loss
     carryforwards. These carryforwards expire through 2009, in the case of
     US-generated losses, and are available indefinitely in the case of
     foreign-generated losses, however, the losses cannot be applied against
     income generated in a trade or business significantly different from that
     which gave rise to the carryforward. Because of US Tax regulations,
     utilization of US losses in any one year will be subject to certain
     limitations.

4.   Restructuring

     In the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded restructuring
     costs totaling $2,125,000 This charge was associated with the downsizing of
     ObjectStudio-related activities and included employee severance and
     benefits, moving and facility consolidation costs, and the write-off of
     costs of capitalized software.

     In connection with the merger with Easel Corporation, the Company recorded
     a one-time charge in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 for merger-related
     costs of $6,882,000. Included in these costs were legal, investment banking
     and accounting fees associated with the transaction, employee severance
     expense, and costs associated with combining the operations of the
     previously separate companies.

5.   Preferred Share Purchase Rights

     On June 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of
     one purchase right (a "Right") for every outstanding share of the Company's
     common stock. The Rights were distributed on June 12, 1996 to holders of
     record as of that date. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the
     Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock at
     a price of $75 per one one-thousandth of a share, subject to adjustments in
     certain events. The Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group
     acquires 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
     stock or announces a tender offer, the consummation of which would result
     in such person or group owning 30% or more of the Company's common stock.
     If a person or group (other than the Company and its affiliates) acquires
     15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, each Right (other
     than Rights held by such person or group) will entitle the holder to
     receive shares of Common Stock, or in certain circumstances, cash,
     property, or other securities of the Company, having a market value of two
     times the exercise price of the Right. Also if the Company were acquired in
     a merger or other business combination, or if more than 50% of its assets
     or earning power were sold, each holder of a Right would be entitled to
     exercise such Right and thereby receive common stock of the acquiring
     company with a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.
     Furthermore, at any time after a person or group acquires more than 15% of
     the outstanding stock, but prior to the acquisition of 50% of such stock,
     the Board of Directors may, at its option, exchange all or a part of the
     Rights at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock for each Right.
     The Company will be entitled to redeem the Rights at $.01 per Right,
     subject to adjustment in certain events, at any time on or prior to the
     tenth day after public announcement that a 15% or greater position has
     been acquired by any person or group. The Rights expire on June 12, 2006.
     The Company has 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par value preferred stock
     authorized for issuance, of which 15,000 shares have been designated by the
     Board of Directors as Series A Junior Preferred Stock.

6.   Litigation

     The Company is a defendant together with certain of its officers, in two
     actions filed in October 1995 in the U.S District Court for the District of
     Massachusetts. Those actions have been consolidated through the filing of a
     Consolidated Amended Complaint (the "Complaint"). The plaintiffs allege in
     the Complaint that the Company and certain of its officers, during July
     through October 1995, made certain untrue statements and failed to disclose
     certain information regarding the Company's prospective financial
     performance in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and that such statements and omissions
     artificially inflated the market prices of the Company's stock. The
     plaintiffs purport to bring the actions on behalf of certain classes of
     stockholders and seek damages in unspecified amounts. The Company has
     denied the allegations in its answer to the Complaint and the proceeding is
     now in the early stages of discovery. Based upon its review to date,
     management of the Company believes that the actions are without merit and
     plans to oppose them vigorously.

REVENUE

The Company's total revenue increased 1% to $17,958,000 in the second quarter of
1996 from $17,727,000 in the second quarter of 1995 and remained flat for the
first six months of 1996 as compared to the first six months of 1995. Software
revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 1996 decreased by 8% and
ll%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1995. Software revenue as a
percentage of total revenue decreased to 51% in the second quarter and first six
months of fiscal 1996 as compared to 57% and 58% respectively in the second
quarter and first six months of 1995. The decrease in software revenue is due
primarily to a continued decline in the sale of the ESL product line as well as
a flattening in sales of the Company's UniVerse database products.

Services and other revenue, consisting of consulting, training, and software
maintenance continued to experience growth with a 14% and 16% increase in the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the
quarter and six months ended July 2, 1995. Service and other revenue increased
to 49% of total revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,
compared to 43% and 42%, respectively, in the same fiscal periods in 1995. The
increase in services and other revenue resulted from the continued expansion of
the Company's customer maintenance base, as well as an increase in training
revenue. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company
has entered into several large consulting contracts to provide on-site
engagement services.

COSTS OF SOFTWARE

Costs of software, which consist of amortization of technology licenses and
capitalized software, product royalties, product documentation, packaging, media
and production costs, decreased 13% to $1,171,000 for the second quarter of 1996
and decreased 13% to $2,336,000 in the first six months of 1996, from $1,349,000
and $2,676,000, respectively for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. This
decrease in costs of software is due to reductions in royalties expenses caused
by the decrease in new licenses sales. Cost of software has remained at
approximately 13% of software revenue for all periods presented.

COSTS OF SERVICES AND OTHER

Costs of services and other, which consist of consulting, training, and other
customer support service costs increased 14% to $4,544,000 for the second
quarter and increased 20% to $9,128,000 for the first six months of 1996 as
compared to the same periods of the prior year. Costs of services and other as a
percentage of services and other revenue remained constant at approximately 52%
for the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995 and
increased slightly to 53% in the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 51%
in the six months ended July 2, 1995. The profit margin associated with services
and other revenue decreased slightly for the first six months of 1996 from the
same period in 1995 due to a change in the mix of services and other revenue. A
higher percentage of the increase in services and other revenue in the first
quarter of 1996 is comprised of training and consulting revenue which typically
has a lower profit margin than revenue derived from customer maintenance
support.

SELLING AND MARKETING

Selling and marketing expenses, which consist primarily of sales organization
costs and marketing programs, decreased 4% to $6,579,000 or 37% of total revenue
in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $6,852,000 or 39% of total revenue
in the second quarter of 1995. The percentage and dollar decreases are due
principally to a temporary decline in the sales force headcount at June 30,
1996. The cost savings resulting from the decline in headcount will be
reinvested in selling and marketing efforts associated with new products in the
last six months of the year. Selling and marketing expenses remained flat at 37%
of total revenue in the first six months of 1996 as compared to the first six
months of 1995. The decline in sales force personnel did not reduce the
year-to-date expenses when compared to the same period of the previous year due
to an increase in marketing and promotional activities in international markets
in the first quarter of 1996.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Product development expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and related
benefits of development personnel and facility costs, decreased 12% to
$2,187,000 in the second quarter of 1996 and decreased 8% to $4,674,000 in the
first six months of 1996, as compared to the same periods of the prior year.
Product development expenses as a percentage of revenue were 12% of revenue for
the first quarter of 1996 and 13% of revenue for the first six months of 1996,
as compared to 14% of revenue for the same periods of 1995. This decrease in
spending is due primarily to cost savings associated with the restructuring
which occurred during the second quarter of 1996 and cost reductions resulting
from the merger of Easel Corporation into VMARK.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses include the costs of finance, human
resources, legal, information systems, and administrative departments of the
Company. General and administrative expenses remained flat in the second quarter
of 1996 and increased 7% to $3,701,000 in the first six months of 1996 as
compared to the same period of the prior year. The dollar increase in the
year-to-date expenses was due primarily to an increase in the bad debt provision
and significant investments in internal management information systems. General
and administrative expenses remained at approximately 11% of revenue for the
second quarter of 1996 and 1995 and 10% of revenue for the first six months of
each year.

NON-RECURRING ITEMS

In the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded restructuring costs
totaling $2,125,000. This charge was associated with the downsizing of
ObjectStudio-related activities and included employee severance and benefits,
moving and facility consolidation costs, and the write-off of costs of
capitalized software. The change was recorded pursuant to a formal plan adopted
and announced in May 1996. The plan was adopted principally as a result of the
signing of a letter of intent to form a joint venture with Cincinnati,
Ohio-based Cincom whereby this joint venture will now undertake the development
and enhancement of the ObjectStudio product line. The establishment of the joint
venture is expected to be finalized during the third quarter. The Company will
contribute ObjectStudio technology and certain development personnel to the
joint venture and will share in the profits and losses of the joint venture on
an equal basis with Cincom. Royalties on sales of ObjectStudio product will be
paid to the joint venture by both parties.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $92,000 and $403,000 for the
second quarter and first six months of 1996 respectively compared to credits of
$1,670,000 and $801,000 for the same periods in 1995. The large provision in
relation to income in the first six months of 1996 is a result of the
unlikelihood of recognition of certain future tax benefits generated in the
second quarter. The Company recognized a benefit for the anticipated uses of
operating losses incurred in the first six months of 1995 at an effective tax
rate of 20.7%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through sales of equity
securities and positive cash flow from operations. At June 30, 1996 the Company
had $13,080,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $19,642,000 in working capital.
The Company has a revolving line of credit with a bank under which the Company
may borrow up to the lesser of $5,000,000 or 80% of eligible domestic accounts
receivable, conditioned upon meeting certain financial covenants, including
maintaining specified levels of quarterly earnings, tangible net worth, working
capital and liquidity. The line of credit also limits the Company's ability to
pay dividends. At June 30, 1996 the Company's eligible accounts receivable
exceeded that required to access fully the revolving line of credit. The Company
also has a share repurchase line of credit with the same bank under which the
Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 to be used solely to make open market
repurchases of the Company's common stock. At June 30, 1996, there was
$1,462,000 of borrowings outstanding under the share repurchase line of credit
facility, which were used to repurchase 120,000 shares of common stock.

The Company believes that its available cash, anticipated cash generated from
operations based upon its operating plan, and amounts available under its credit
facilities will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations and meet its
foreseeable cash requirements at least for the next twelve months.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company, together with a third-party
leasing company, initiated a leasing program available to current and potential
customers. Under the program, customers are able to purchase VMARK products
through operating and capital leases with a third party lessor. All sales under
this program are subject to the Company's normal revenue recognition policies
and are made without recourse to the Company. This leasing program continued in
the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and sales under the program in the second
quarter totaled approximately $2,100,000. During the six months ended June 30,
1996, sales under the program totaled approximately $3,900,000.

PART 11   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM I.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a defendant, together with certain of its officers, in two
actions initially filed in October 1995 in the U.S. District Court in the
District of Massachusetts. Those actions have been consolidated through the
filing of a Consolidated Amended Complaint (the "Complaint"). The plaintiffs
allege in the Complaint that the Company and certain of its officers, during
July through October 1995, made certain untrue statements and failed to disclose
certain information regarding the Company's prospective financial performance in
violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
thereunder and that such statements and omissions artificially inflated the
market prices of the Company's stock. The plaintiffs purport to bring the
actions on behalf of certain classes of stockholders and seek damages in
unspecified amounts. The Company has denied the allegations in its answer to the
Complaint and the proceeding is now in the early stages of discovery. Based upon
its review to date, management of the Company believes that the actions are
without merit and plans to oppose them vigorously.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

On June 12, 1996, the Board of Directors of VMARK Software, Inc. adopted a
Shareholder Rights Plan that is designed to protect the Company's shareholders
in the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire the Company. The terms of such
plan and the Preferred Share Purchase Rights that will be issued in connection
with the implementation of such plan are described in the Companies Registration
Form on Form 8-A, dated July 17, 1996 and filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission on July 29, 1996, which description is incorporated herein by
reference.
