reported a net loss of approximately $1.3 million, or $0.14 per share, for its
fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 1997. These earnings compare to a net loss
of $1.9 million, or $0.21 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and
net income of approximately $50,000, or $0.01 per share, in the same quarter of
the prior fiscal year.

        MathSoft reported net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 of
approximately $4.4 million compared to net revenues of approximately $3.8
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and $5.0 million in the same
quarter of the prior fiscal year.

        For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, MathSoft reported a net loss of

in both product delivery and revenue growth during the June quarter. MathSoft
StatServer was announced in April and we are starting to realize revenue from
commercial shipments of this product. We began shipping Mathcad 7 in June and it
appears to be a solid, major new release. In addition, we introduced S-PLUS 4
for Windows in June and are now shipping the final `pre-release' version to
customers. We are very excited about the future prospects of these and other key
initiatives."
