C.        CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS:

          During the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company
          capitalized $785,000 and $433,000, respectively, of software costs.
          During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company
          capitalized $1,692,000 and $1,680,000, respectively, of software
          costs.  The Company amortized software costs of $522,000 and $340,000
          for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
          $1,261,000 and $1,220,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
          and 1995, respectively.

D.        SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

          On November 7, 1996, the Company announced a reorganization of its
          operations. As a result of the reorganization, the Company expects to
          record a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $3,000,000 to
          $5,000,000 in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 1996. The
          restructuring charge will provide for severance costs related to the
          reduction of approximately 15% of the Company's workforce and other
          related costs. In an effort to reduce worldwide channel inventories,
          the Company also announced its plans to reduce its product shipments
          to its distribution channel by approximately $7,000,000 to $10,000,000
          in the quarter ending December 31, 1996, which is expected to result
          in declines in software revenues and a net operating loss. The Company
          also expects to record a non-cash charge for previously recorded
          deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 1996.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

On November 7, 1996, the Company announced a reorganization of its operations.
As a result of the reorganization, the Company expects to record a pre-tax
restructuring charge of approximately $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 in the fourth
quarter ending December 31, 1996.  The restructuring charge will provide for
severance costs related to the reduction of approximately 15% of the Company's
workforce and other related costs.  In an effort to reduce worldwide channel
inventories, the Company also announced its plans to reduce its product
shipments to its distribution channel by approximately $7,000,000 to $10,000,000
in the quarter ending December 31, 1996.  The Company also expects to record a
non-cash charge for previously recorded deferred tax assets in the fourth
quarter ending December 31, 1996.

REVENUES

Total revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1996 were $28.1 million and $88.3 million, respectively, which represents a
decrease of $3.1 million and $13.4 million, respectively, when compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995.  The decrease was due to lower software and
support and training revenues as well as continued expected declines in hardware
revenue.  The Company's software revenues for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1996 decreased by $1.1 million, or 4%, when comparing the three-
month period ended September 30, 1996 to the corresponding period in 1995.  The
decrease was primarily due to a decline in messaging revenues, which was
partially offset by a one-time payment received from a customer of $1.5 million
for a source code fee.  The Company's software revenues in the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1996, decreased by $8.4 million, or 10%, when comparing the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 to the corresponding period in 1995.
The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from messaging products
and from the Company's ENS platform offerings.  The Company plans to reduce
product shipments to its distribution partners by approximately $7 million to
$10 in the quarter ending December 31, 1996, which is expected to result in
declines in software revenues through this period.  Support and training
revenues decreased by $1.5 million, or 28%, and $3.6 million, or 23%, over the
corresponding periods in 1995 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, primarily due to lower revenues from
educational services and end-user support contracts.  Hardware revenues declined
$0.6 million, or 57%, and $1.4 million, or 48% when compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, primarily due to the continued phase-out of
the Company's hardware business.

International revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 were $6.4 million and $19.9 million, respectively, compared
with $8.1 million and $22.1 million for the corresponding periods in 1995.  The
decrease when comparing the three-month period and nine-month period ended
September 30, 1996 to the corresponding periods in 1995 was primarily due to
lower revenues in Europe.  International revenues accounted for 23% of total
revenues for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1996, respectively, compared with 26% and 22% for the corresponding periods in
1995.

                                      -7-

The Company plans to reduce product shipments to its distribution partners by
approximately $7 million to $10 million in the quarter ending December 31, 1996,
which is expected to result in declines in software revenues in the quarter.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins for software were 89%, or $21.2 million, and 89%, or $66.6
million, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, compared with 88%, or $21.9 million, and 88%, or $72.9 million for
the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increases in software margin percentages
were primarily due to lower manufacturing costs as a result of the Company's
restructuring in the quarter ended December 31, 1995, which reduced staffing and
related facility costs.  The decreases in gross margin dollars were primarily
due to lower sales volumes.

Gross margins for support were 10%, or $0.4 million, and 17%, or $2.1 million,
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, compared with 31%, or $1.6 million, and 36%, or $5.6 million, for
the corresponding periods in 1995.  The decreases in margin percentages and
dollars for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 1996
were primarily due to lower revenues from education classes and end user support
contracts.

Gross margins for hardware were 65% or $0.3 million, and 68%, or $1.0 million,
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, compared with 44%, or $0.4 million, and 42%, or $1.2 million, for
the corresponding periods in 1995 due to lower manufacturing costs as a result
of the Company's restructuring in the quarter ended December 31, 1995, which
reduced staffing and related facility costs.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Sales and marketing expenses of $15.2 million and $45.8 million for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, represented
decreases of 30% and 24% compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.  These
decreases were primarily due to lower sales staffing and facility costs as a
result of the reduction in force as part of the Company's reorganization in the
quarter ended December 31, 1995.  Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage
of revenues were 54% and 52% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, and 69% and 59% for the corresponding periods
in 1995.

Product development expenses of $5.4 million and $16.3 million for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, represented
decreases of 14% and 8% over the corresponding periods in 1995.  These decreases
were primarily due lower headcount in the nine-month period ended September 30,
1996 when compared to the corresponding period in the prior year as a result of
the Company's reorganization in the quarter ended December 31, 1995.  The
Company continues to focus its product development resources on its enterprise
network services, particularly the Windows NT based products and its messaging
products. Additionally, the Company has maintained its investment in internet-
related product initiatives, particularly Switchboard.com technology and
services.  Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were
approximately 19% for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to 20% and 17% for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  Software costs of $785,000 and $1,692,000 were
capitalized for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, as compared to $433,000 and $1,680,000 for corresponding periods
in 1995.  Capitalized software costs in the three month period ended September
30, 1996 were primarily related to VINES 7.0, StreetTalk for Windows NT and
localization of product offerings. The amounts capitalized represented 13% and
9% of product development expenditures for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to 7% and 9% for the
corresponding periods in 1995.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
General and administrative expenses of $2.7 million and $8.6 million for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively,
represented decreases of 22% and 11% when compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995.  The decreases were due to lower administrative and personnel costs as
a result of the reduction in force as part of the Company's reorganization in
the quarter ended December 31, 1995.  General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 10% for both three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1996, as compared to 11% and 9% for the corresponding
periods in 1995.

OTHER INCOME

Interest income was $255,000 and $878,000 for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, and represented decreases of 33%
and 37% from the corresponding periods in 1995.  These decreases were primarily
due to lower levels of available funds invested in marketable securities.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate was (35.9%) for both the three-month and nine-
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and (37.9%) and (39.2%), respectively,
for the corresponding periods in 1995.  The difference when comparing the rate
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 to the
corresponding periods in 1995 was related to foreign operations.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

Certain of the information contained in this Form 10-Q, including information
with respect to the Company's plans and strategy for its business expectations,
consists of forward-looking statements.  Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include
the following:

On November 7, 1996, the Company announced a reorganization of its operations,
including a reduction of approximately 15% of the Company's workforce. The
Company also plans to reduce its product shipments to its distribution partners
by approximately $7 million to $10 million in the quarter ending December 31,
1996, which is expected to result in declines in software revenues and a net
operating and loss in the quarter. There can be no assurance the planned
reorganization and reduction in product shipments will be successfully
implemented. The Company's future success will depend on its ability to retain
its key employees and attract new employees, and there can be no assurance it
will be able to do so. In connection with the reorganization, the Company
expects to record a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $3 million to
$5 million in the quarter ending December 31, 1996. The Company also expects to
record a non-cash change for previously recorded deferred tax assets in the
fourth quarter ending December 31, 1996.

In 1995 and the first nine moths of 1996, a substantial majority of the
Company's product sales were to existing customers for upgrade or expansion of
their networks.  The Company's results  will depend on its ability both
to continue to sell products for use in networks of existing customers and to
attract new customers for the Company's products.  In addition, in 1995 and the
first nine months of 1996, the Company experienced extended selling cycles due
to an increase in multi-year customer agreements and to longer evaluation of
operating systems and hardware platforms by potential customers.  The Company
expects that extended selling cycles will continue to affect the Company's
operating results for the foreseeable future.

The Company's results are partially dependent on its ability to enhance existing
products and introduce new products on a timely basis, and to achieve market
acceptance for such enhanced and new products.  The Company's results in 1995
and the first nine months of 1996 were adversely affected by delays in the
release and localization of certain products, and there can be no assurance that
the Company will not

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
experience similar delays in the future. On September 30, 1996, the Company
introduced StreetTalk for Windows NT which provides integration of the Windows
NT operating system into a VINES network. While the Company does not expect to
record significant revenues from this NT-based product in 1996, failure of this
product to achieve market acceptance could have material adverse effect on the
Company's future results of operations.

The Company had established an Internet Products Division (Coordinate.com) to
develop products and services to bring the Company's directory and messaging
capabilities to Internet users.  The Company has limited experience in
developing or selling products for the Internet and the success of the division
will depend in part on its ability to enter into strategic alliances with other
Internet providers.  While the Company does not expect to record significant
revenues in 1996 from sales of products for the Internet, any delay in
developing its products and services for the Internet or failure of such
products and services to achieve market acceptance could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's future results of operations.

The markets for the Company's products are highly competitive and characterized
by rapidly changing technology.  There can be no assurance that current or
potential competitors will not introduce products that offer performance or
other features that are more attractive than those of the Company's products.
Many of the Company's competitors have greater name recognition, larger
installed customer bases and greater financial resources than the Company and
therefore may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and
changes in customer requirements.  Other factors that may affect the Company's
future operating results include its ability to expand its international sales,
its dependence on indirect reseller channels, declines in purchases by any major
reseller, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Because of the foregoing factors, past financial results should not be relied
upon as an indication of future performance.  The Company believes that period-
to-period comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily meaningful
and it expects that its results of operations may fluctuate from period to
period in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital decreased from $9.5 million at December 31, 1995 to $7.0 million
at September 30, 1996.  At September 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents
combined with short-term and long-term marketable securities were $20.3 million,
compared with $31.3 million at December 31, 1995.  Cash and cash equivalents
decreased $3.9 million from December 31, 1995 resulting in a cash balance of
$8.5 million at September 30, 1996.  The decrease was due to restructuring and
other charges of $8.1 million, in connection with the restructuring in the
quarter ended December 31, 1995, capital expenditures of $4.9 million, an
increase in accounts receivable of $2.4 million and a minority interest equity
investment of $2.0 million, offset in part by net proceeds from the sale of
marketable securities of $7.0 million, the collection of income taxes receivable
of $5.8 million and the net effect of other operating, investing and financing
activities.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
The Company expects working capital to decrease through at least the first
quarter of 1997 as a result of its plans to reduce product shipments to its
distribution channels and the costs associated with the reorganization announced
on November 7, 1996, offset in part by the resulting decreases in operating
expenses.

In the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company recorded a restructuring and
other charges of $15.8 million.  As of September 30, 1996, a balance of $0.9
million associated with this charge remains on the balance sheet.  Management
believes that this remaining balance is adequate to cover future expenditures
associated with the 1995 restructuring and other charges.

The Company has a line of credit of $10 million that expires in May 1997.
Borrowings may be made at the bank's prime rate.  At September 30, 1996, the
Company had no borrowings under this line of credit and was in compliance with
all covenants of the agreement.  The Company believes that existing cash and
marketable securities, combined with cash expected to be generated from
operations and the available line of credit, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least
June 30, 1997.

                           SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND
                         RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS
                         ----------------------------


       This Separation Agreement and Release and Waiver of Claims (the
"Agreement") is entered into this 1st day of November, 1996, by and between
Banyan Systems Incorporated, with offices at 120 Flanders Road, Westboro,
Massachusetts 01581 ("Banyan") and John M. Paul, a resident of 112 Lowell Road,
Wellesley, MA 02181 (the "Undersigned").

       For and in consideration of the mutual terms, conditions and covenants
herein, Banyan and the Undersigned agree as follows:

       1. RESIGNATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  The Undersigned hereby resigns as an
          -------------------------                                       
Officer of Banyan effective on November 1, 1996, and further resigns his
position with Banyan as Senior Vice President, Coordinate.com, effective
November 1, 1996.  The Undersigned shall promptly execute and deliver to Banyan
a separate instrument embodying such resignation.

       2. PAYMENT.  For and in consideration of the Undersigned's execution of
          -------                                                             
this Agreement, Banyan shall pay to the Undersigned the amount set forth in
Exhibit A, Section 1,  less applicable deductions and/or withholdings for taxes
or similar governmental payments and charges, and further Banyan shall provide
the benefits set forth in Exhibit A, Sections 2-5.

       3. PUBLIC STATEMENT.  The Undersigned agrees that he will not
          ----------------                                          
intentionally make or disclose or cause to be disclosed any negative, adverse or
derogatory comments about Banyan or its management, business, personnel or about
any product or service provided by Banyan, or about Banyan's prospects for the
future.  Banyan agrees that its officers, executives, and authorized
spokespersons will not intentionally make or disclose any negative, adverse or
derogatory comments about the Undersigned.

       4. NON-SOLICITATION.  The Undersigned agrees that from November 1, 1996
          ----------------                                                    
to November 1, 1997, he will not either directly or indirectly, without Banyan's
prior express written consent:
<PAGE>
 
          a.      call on or solicit Cisco Systems, Inc., America OnLine
Incorporated or Software.com, Inc. with any third party product offerings which
are competitive with Banyan product offerings; or

          b.      solicit or participate in the hiring of, or attempt to solicit
or participate in the hiring of, any employee of Banyan, either for himself or
for any other person or entity.

       5. EMPLOYEE PATENT AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AGREEMENT.  For and in
          ------------------------------------------------------             
further consideration of Banyan's payment to the Undersigned as set forth in
Section 2 above, the Undersigned agrees to execute Banyan's Employee Patent and
Confidential Information Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B, on or before
November 1, 1996.  Such Employee Patent and Confidential Information Agreement
shall be deemed to be effective retroactive to August 1, 1994.

       6. RELEASE.  In exchange for the payment and benefits of this Agreement,
          -------                                                              
the Undersigned agrees to give up all the rights that he now has to any relief
of any kind from Banyan and all affiliated or parent corporations, officers,
directors, shareholders, employees and agents, whether or not he knows about
those rights, arising out of the Undersigned's employment with Banyan up until
the date this Agreement is signed.  This does not waive any rights or claims
that arise after the date this Agreement is executed.  This includes, but is not
limited to, claims or rights under any federal, state or other governmental law,
statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal restrictions, including, but
not limited to Chapter 151B of the Massachusetts General Laws, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and
the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibit discrimination in employment
on the basis of sex, age and/or disability.

       THIS MEANS THE UNDERSIGNED MAY NOT SUE BANYAN FOR ANY CURRENT OR PRIOR
CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF HIS EMPLOYMENT WITH OR SEPARATION FROM BANYAN.

       The Undersigned acknowledges and agrees that Banyan has discharged and
performed all of its obligations other than those obligations which are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, that there are no outstanding claims
against Banyan, that if there are any such claims there is considerable doubt as
to
<PAGE>
 
the prospect of successfully prevailing on them in litigation, and that the
consideration provided by Banyan pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to
support each and all of the contractual obligations that the Undersigned is
undertaking herein.

       7. COVENANT NOT TO SUE.  The Undersigned represents and warrants that he
          -------------------                                                  
has not filed any complaints, charges or claims for relief against Banyan and/or
related officers, directors, stockholders, corporate affiliates, agents or
employees with any local, state or federal court or administrative agency which
currently are outstanding.  If the Undersigned has done so, he will forthwith
dismiss all such complaints, charges or claims for relief with prejudice.  The
Undersigned further agrees and covenants not to bring any complaints, charges or
claims against Banyan, its officers, directors, stockholders, corporate
affiliates, agents or employees with respect to any matters arising out of his
employment with or separation of such employment from Banyan.  Subject to the
Undersigned's full compliance with this Agreement and the Employee Patent and
Confidential Information Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, and except for
any actions taken by the Undersigned during his employment which constitute
actions outside the scope of his authority, criminal acts, or acts which violate
any law or regulation, Banyan agrees not to bring any complaints, charges or
claims against the Undersigned with regard to any other matter arising out of
his employment with Banyan.

       8. REMEDIES.  If at any time during the term of this Agreement, either
          --------                                                           
party believes that the other party has breached any material obligations or
covenants hereunder, the non-breaching party promptly shall give the other party
written notice of the same.  In the event that the other party does not promptly
cure such breach (if such breach is susceptible of cure), the non-breaching
party may, at its option, commence an action at law or equity, against the other
party including, but not limited to, injunctive relief.

       9. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY.  This Agreement is entered into and shall
          ---------------------------                                           
be construed pursuant to the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
excluding its conflicts of law rules.  In the event any provision of this
Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable by a duly authorized
court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the
application of such
<PAGE>
 
provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared
illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of
this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

       10.  WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS.  The failure of either party to require the
            -------------------                                             
performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by either
party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent
enforcement of such term or obligation and shall not be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties.

       11.  NON-ADMISSION.  Banyan expressly disclaims any wrongdoing to the
            -------------                                                   
Undersigned and the Undersigned agrees that by entering into this Agreement
Banyan admits no wrongdoing.  The Undersigned expressly disclaims any wrongdoing
to Banyan and Banyan agrees that by entering into this Agreement the Undersigned
admits no wrongdoing.

       12.  REPRESENTATIONS.  The Undersigned represents that he understands the
            ---------------                                                     
various claims he could have asserted under the common law of Massachusetts, the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
Chapter 151B of the Massachusetts General Laws, the Americans with Disabilities
Act and other such similar laws; and he has read the Agreement carefully and
understands all of its provisions; that he understands that he has the right to
and is advised to consult an attorney at the Undersigned's own expense
concerning this Agreement and in particular the waiver of any rights he might
have under these laws; that to the extent, if any, that he desired, he availed
himself of this right; that he has had at least twenty-one (21) days to consider
whether to sign the Agreement; and that he enters this Agreement and waives any
claims knowingly and willingly.

       13.  CHALLENGE TO VALIDITY OF AGREEMENT.  The Undersigned agrees that he
            ----------------------------------                                 
shall never bring a proceeding to challenge the validity of this Agreement.

       14.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto
            ----------------                                                  
set forth the full terms of the arrangement between Banyan and the Undersigned
and supersedes any prior oral or written understandings.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the
<PAGE>
 
application and enforceability of the Employee Patent and Confidential
Information Agreement executed by the Undersigned.

       15.  SIGNATURE.  This Agreement may be signed on one or more copies, each
            ---------                                                           
of which when so signed will be deemed to be an original, and all of which
together will be one and the same document.

       16.  CONFIDENTIALITY OF AGREEMENT.  The parties agree that the terms of
            ----------------------------                                      
this Agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other person,
except that the Undersigned may disclose the terms of this Agreement to his
immediate family, attorney, any tax or other professional advisors, or as
otherwise required by law or regulation, and that Banyan may disclose the terms
of this Agreement to its attorneys, tax or other professional advisors, its
personnel who have a need to know, or as otherwise required by law or
regulation.

       17.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Agreement shall become effective seven (7)
            --------------                                                  
days after it is signed by the Undersigned and executed by a representative of
Banyan.  The Undersigned may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days after
it is signed by the Undersigned, and it shall not become effective or
enforceable until this seven (7) day revocation period has expired.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE PARTIES HAVE HEREUNTO SET THEIR NAMES ON October
26, 1996. THE UNDERSIGNED HAS BEEN OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK ADVICE OF
COUNSEL PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT. BOTH PARTIES HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND
AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.
