Comparison of Three Months Ended October 31, 1996 and 1995

     Revenues.  Revenues were $10,308,000 and $6,189,000 in the three months
ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of approximately 67%.
Software license fees increased to $7,839,000 from $4,260,000, or approximately
84%. This increase was primarily due to growth in the software license fees for
PC Card and BIOS products as well as software license fees on the Company's new
call avoidance and Universal Serial Bus ("USB") products. Certain contracts
include fixed royalty fees for various time periods in lieu of royalties on a
per unit basis. Revenues attributable to such fees, which are included in
software license fees, were $1,100,000 and $475,000 in the three months ended
October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Although such contracts provide for
fixed payments to be made at specified time periods, the timing or amount of
such payments may be renegotiated as a matter of business practice. There were
no revenues from renegotiated contract terms included in the fixed royalties
recognized in the three months ended October 31, 1996. Engineering services
increased to $1,599,000 from $1,254,000, or approximately 28% due to engineering
services related to a contract to develop call-avoidance software products, as
well as growth in the mobile computing market engineering services. Related
party revenues increased to $870,000 from $675,000, or approximately 29%.
Revenues generated under the Development and License Agreement, as amended, with
Intel Corporation (The "Intel Agreement") were $750,000 and $655,000 in the
three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues was $2,095,000 and $1,103,000 in the
three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cost of revenues
consists primarily of amortization of software development costs and purchased
software, royalties and engineering costs associated with engineering services
revenues. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased by 2% to 20%
from 18% in the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cost
of software license fees as a percentage of software license fees revenues
increased to 11% from 6% in the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively primarily due to increases in royalties and amortization of
purchased software and software development costs. The increase in amortization
expense in both absolute dollars and percentage of revenues was due to increases
in purchased software and software development costs and the commencement of
amortization with new product releases. Cost of engineering services increased
as a percentage of engineering service revenues to 57% from 49% in the three
months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively primarily due to staff
additions. Cost of related party revenues as a percentage of related party
revenues remained constant at 36% for both periods.

     Research and Development.  Research and development expenses, consisting
primarily of payroll and related expenses, were $2,192,000 and $1,368,000, net
of capitalized development costs of $771,000 and $339,000, in the three months
ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of approximately 60%.
The increase in expenses resulted primarily from staff additions. Research and
development expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 21% from 22% due to
the substantial relative growth in revenues. Included in Research and
Development are costs associated with certain work done under the Intel
Agreement.

     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses, consisting primarily of
payroll and related expenses, costs of marketing programs and events, sales
commissions to internal sales

                                       8

personnel and independent manufacturers' representatives and travel costs, were
$2,549,000 and $1,881,000 in the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, an increase of approximately 36%. The percentage increase was
primarily due to staff additions, increased costs of marketing programs and
events and additional travel costs. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage
of revenues decreased to 25% from 30% due to the substantial relative growth in
revenues.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses,
consisting primarily of payroll and related expenses, provision for doubtful
accounts and professional fees, were $948,000 and $691,000 in the three months
ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of approximately 37%.
The increase was primarily due to staff additions and an increase in the
provision for doubtful accounts. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 9% from 11% due to the substantial relative
growth in revenues.

     Provision for Income Taxes.  Provision for income taxes was $917,000 and
$444,000 in the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In
the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company was able to reduce
its federal tax liability through the utilization of certain tax credits.


Comparison of Nine Months Ended October 31, 1996 and 1995

     Revenues.  Revenues were $27,649,000 and $17,267,000 in the nine months
ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of approximately 60%.
Software license fees increased to $18,650,000 from $12,454,000 or approximately
50%. This increase was primarily due to software license fees on the Company's
new call avoidance products as well as growth in the software license fees for
BIOS, PC Card and USB products. Certain contracts include fixed royalty fees for
various time periods in lieu of royalties on a per unit basis. Revenues
attributable to such fees, which are included in software license fees, were
$2,150,000 and $2,222,000 in the nine months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Although such contracts provide for fixed payments to be made at
specified time periods, the timing or amount of such payments may be
renegotiated as a matter of business practice. The fixed royalties recognized in
the nine months ended October 31, 1996 included $452,000 which resulted from
renegotiated contract terms. Such revenue would have otherwise been recorded in
the subsequent two fiscal quarters. Engineering services increased to $6,989,000
from $2,826,000 or approximately 147% due to engineering services related to a
contract to develop call-avoidance software products, as well as growth in the
mobile computing market engineering services. Related party revenues increased
to $2,010,000 from $1,988,000 or approximately 1%. Revenues generated under the
Intel Agreement were $1,500,000 and $1,860,000 in the nine months ended October
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues was $5,202,000 and $3,285,000 in the
nine months ended July 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cost of revenues as a
percentage of revenues remained constant at 19% in the nine months ended October
31, 1996 and 1995. Cost of software license fees as a percentage of software
license fees revenues increased to 10% from 5% primarily due to increases in
royalties and amortization of purchased software and software development costs.
The increase in amortization expense in both absolute dollars and percentage of
revenues 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
was due to increases in purchased software and software development costs and
the commencement of amortization with new product releases. Cost of engineering
services decreased as a percentage of engineering service revenues to 38% from
56%, primarily due to increased efficiency in providing engineering services and
substantial relative growth of revenues. Cost of related party revenues as a
percentage of related party revenues decreased to 37% from 52%, due to a
decrease in the lower margin services provided under the original Intel
Agreement as well as certain personnel costs being included in Research and
Development under the Intel Agreement.

     Research and Development.  Research and development expenses were
$5,811,000 and $3,703,000, net of capitalized development costs of $1,974,000
and $670,000, in the nine months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
an increase of approximately 57%. The increase in expenses resulted primarily
from staff additions. Research and development expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 21% in both periods. Included in Research and Development are
costs associated with certain work done under the Intel Agreement.

     Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses were $7,634,000 and
$5,182,000 in the nine months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an
increase of approximately 47%. The percentage increase was primarily due to
staff additions, increased costs of marketing programs and events, additional
travel costs and sales commissions resulting from the increased level of
revenue. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to
28% from 30% due to the substantial relative growth in revenues.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses were
$2,382,000 and $1,882,000 in the nine months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, an increase of approximately 27%. The increase was primarily due
to staff additions and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 9%
from 11% due to the substantial relative growth in revenues.

     Provision for Income Taxes.  Provision for income taxes was $2,406,000 and
$1,300,000 in the nine months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In
the nine months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company was able to reduce
its federal tax liability through the utilization of certain tax credits.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the nine months ended October 31, 1996, the Company funded its
operations primarily through its operating profits. As of October 31, 1996, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $12,397,000
and working capital of $24,041,000. The Company's operating activities provided
cash of $3,164,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 1996. The Company's
investing activities used cash of $6,116,000 in the nine months ended October
31, 1996. The principal uses of cash have been the purchase of property and
equipment of $2,569,000, software development costs of $1,974,000 and purchased
software of $1,650,000. During the nine months ended October 31, 1996, the
Company's financing activities have provided cash of $4,060,000, due to the
exercise of stock options. The Company believes that its current cash balances
and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital and

                                       10

capital expenditure requirements through the next twelve months. To date,
inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's financial results.


Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

     Information provided by the Company or statements made by its employees may
contain "forward-looking" information which involves risk and uncertainties. In
particular, statements contained in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical facts
(including, but not limited to, statements concerning sufficiency of funds for
the Company's working capital) are "forward-looking statements." The Company's
actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-
looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, the factors discussed below as well as the accuracy of the Company's
internal estimates of revenue and operating expense levels. Each of these
factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in the Company's Securities
and Exchange Commission filings.

     The Company's future results are subject to substantial risks and
uncertainties. Revenue growth rates experienced by the Company to date may not
be indicative of future growth rates and there can be no assurance that the
Company will remain profitable in the future. The market for the Company's
system-level and call-avoidance software is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions.
The Company's future success will depend upon its ability to enhance its current
software and to develop and introduce new software which keeps pace with
technological developments and evolving industry standards as well as to respond
to changes in customer requirements. The Company may confront new competitors as
it introduces new products and expands into new markets. Certain current and
potential competitors of the Company are more established, benefit from greater
market recognition and have substantially greater financial, development and
marketing resources than the Company. Competitive pressures or other factors,
including entry into new markets, may result in unit royalty erosion that could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. The
Company believes that its success to date has been largely dependent on the
adoption of its software by key participants in the PC industry the loss of
which could adversely affect the Company's product development efforts. In
addition, the inability of the Company to replace revenues provided by a key
customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
financial condition. The Company's success to date has depended to a significant
extent upon a number of key management and technical employees. The loss of
services of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business and financial condition.

     The Company believes that future results of operations may fluctuate
significantly based upon numerous factors including the timing of new product
introductions, product mix, activities of competitors and the ability of the
Company to penetrate new markets. The volume and timing of new contracts could
have a significant impact on operating results for a particular quarter and may
result in unanticipated quarterly earnings, shortfalls or losses. In such an
event, the price of the Company's Common Stock would likely be materially
adversely affected.
