1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared by MathSoft, Inc. ("MathSoft" or 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 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the transition period from July 1,
1997 to December 31, 1997. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of
operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
2. RECLASSIFICATION OF AMOUNTS
Certain amounts in prior period comparative financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements,
in order to measure all changes in stockholders equity of an enterprise that
result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than
transactions with stockholders. Comprehensive income, as defined by SFAS No.
130, is the total of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and
accordingly the Company adopted it in its first fiscal quarter of 1998.
Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) is as follows:

6. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 requires certain financial and
supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for
each reportable segment of an enterprise. Reportable segments, as defined by
this statement, correspond to the way management organizes units and evaluates
performance internally, and may be based upon products, geography, legal entity,
management structure or a combination of these methods. SFAS No. 131 is
applicable only to public, for-profit entities and is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1997. It need not be applied to interim statements
in the initial year of application and accordingly it is not being applied
herein. Unless impracticable, companies would be required to restate prior
period information upon adoption.

MATHSOFT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Month Period Ended June 30, 1997 Compared with the Three Month Period
ended June 30, 1998
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total revenues increased 19.8% from $4,358,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997 ("1997 quarter") to $5,223,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998
("1998 quarter"). The increase in total revenues was primarily attributable to
a worldwide increase in new license and maintenance revenue generated from its
S-PLUS 4.0 product released in September 1997, an increase in S-PLUS service
revenue, and to a lesser extent an increase in world-wide Mathcad product line
sales. Mathcad product lines increased due to the introduction of StudyWorks II
in March 1998.
Worldwide S-PLUS license and maintenance revenue increased 46.5% from $1,229,000
in the 1997 quarter to $1,800,000 in the 1998 quarter, and increased as a
percentage of total revenues from 28.2% to 34.5%, respectively. Worldwide
S-PLUS service revenue increased 36.5% from $688,000 in the 1997 quarter to
$939,000 in the 1998 quarter, and increased as a percentage of total revenue
from 15.8% to 18.0%, respectively. Worldwide Mathcad product line sales
increased 6.3% from $2,896,000 in the 1997 quarter to $3,077,000 in the 1998
quarter, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 66.5% to 58.9%,
respectively. Total international revenues attributable to sales of all Company
product lines decreased 2.7% from $1,389,000 in the 1997 quarter to $1,351,000
in the 1998 quarter, and decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 31.9%
to 25.9%, respectively. The decrease in international revenues was attributable
primarily to a weakness in Asian sales as well as a weakness in our core Mathcad
business in Europe which resulted from stale marketing programs.
Total cost of revenues remained relatively consistent at $941,000 for the 1998
quarter compared to $964,000 for the 1997 quarter, but decreased as a percentage
of total revenues from 22.1% to 18.0%, respectively. The decrease in total cost
of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to
switching from diskette to CD media with the release of Mathcad 7 for Windows,
thereby decreasing direct material costs on a per unit basis. To a lesser
degree, fixed costs, such as licensing costs for the "S" language used in the
S-PLUS product line and the amortization of purchased technology, decreased as a
percentage of total revenues due to an overall higher revenue base in the 1998
quarter.
<PAGE>
MATHSOFT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 9.2% from $2,652,000 in the 1997 quarter
to $2,408,000 in the 1998 quarter, and decreased as a percentage of total
revenues from 60.8% to 46.1%, respectively. The decrease in overall sales and
marketing expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in S-PLUS sales
expenses as the 1997 quarter had increased expenditures related to the
reorganization of its sales infrastructure to support direct sales into this
expanding product line.
Research and development expenses decreased 14.6% from $1,329,000 in the 1997
quarter to $1,135,000 in the 1998 quarter, and decreased as a percentage of
total revenues from 30.5% to 21.7%, respectively. The decrease in overall
research and development expenses was due to a significant decrease in research
and development fees associated with StatServer product development following
product release in April 1997 and the release of S-PLUS 4.0 in September 1997.
General and administrative expenses decreased 16.0% from $715,000 in the 1997
quarter to $601,000 in the 1998 quarter, and decreased as a percentage of total
revenues from 16.4% to 11.5%, respectively. The decrease in overall general and
administrative expenses was due primarily to decreased foreign exchange losses.
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 1997 Compared with the Six Month Period ended
June 30, 1998
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total revenues increased 33.2% from $8,200,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 to $10,925,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in
total revenues was primarily attributable to a worldwide increase in both new
license and upgrade revenue generated by the Company's core product, Mathcad 7
for Windows as well as new license and maintenance revenue generated from its
S-PLUS 4.0 product released in September 1997.

MATHSOFT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Mathcad for Windows new license revenue increased 41.0% from $2,496,000 for the
six month period ended June 30, 1997 to $3,519,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1998, and increased as a percentage of total revenues from 30.4%
to 32.2%, respectively. Mathcad for Windows upgrade revenue increased 38.8%
from $706,000 for the six month period ended June 30,1997 to $1,218,000 for the
six month period ended June 30, 1998, and increased as a percentage of total
revenues from 8.6% to 11.1%, respectively. Prior to the release of Mathcad 7
for Windows, the Company's last significant upgrade was Mathcad 6 for Windows
which was released in July 1995 and its upgrade cycle was therefore winding to a
close in the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Worldwide S-PLUS license and
maintenance revenue increased 36.3% from $2,623,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 to $3,574,000 for the six month period ended June 30,1998,
and increased as a percentage of total revenues from 32.0% to 32.7%,
respectively. Total international revenues attributable to sales of all Company
product lines increased 6.8% from $2,835,000 in the six month period ended June
30, 1997 to $3,028,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, and
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 34.6% to 27.7%, respectively.
Total cost of revenues remained relatively consistent at $1,963,000 for the six
month period ended June 30,1998 compared to $1,944,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997, but decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 23.9%
to 17.8%, respectively. The decrease in total cost of revenues as a percentage
of total revenues was primarily attributable to switching from diskette to CD
media with the release of Mathcad 7 for Windows, thereby decreasing direct
material costs on a per unit basis. To a lesser degree, fixed costs, such as
licensing costs for the "S" language used in the S-PLUS product line and the
amortization of purchased technology, decreased as a percentage of total
revenues due to an overall higher revenue base in the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 7.9% from $5,244,000 in the six month
period ended June 30, 1997 to $4,829,000 in the six month period ended June 30,
1998, and decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 64.0% to 44.2%,
respectively. The decrease in overall sales and marketing expenses was
primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries and variable marketing
expenditures, as the six month period ended June 30, 1997 had increased
expenditures related to the launch of StatServer, S-PLUS 4.0 and Mathcad 7.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Research and development expenses decreased 14.8% from $2,765,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 1997 to $2,354,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1998,
and decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 33.7% to 21.5%,
respectively. The decrease in overall research and development expenses was due
to a significant decrease in personnel and consulting costs associated with the
first release of StatServer in April 1997 and the S-PLUS 4.0 product release in
September 1997.
General and administrative expenses decreased 19.4% from $1,491,000 in the six
month period ended June 30, 1997 to $1,202,000 in the six month period ended
June 30, 1998, and decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 18.2% to
11.0%, respectively. The decrease in overall general and administrative
expenses was due primarily to decreased foreign exchange losses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents, totaling $3,704,000 at June 30, 1998, decreased
$430,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 from $4,134,000 at
December 31, 1997. The decrease in cash resulted primarily from cash used in
investing activities of $775,000 and cash used in operating activities of
$295,000, offset by net proceeds generated by equipment financing transactions
and stock option exercises of $408,000 and $266,000, respectively.
The Company's financial reserves are represented by cash and cash equivalents of
$3,704,000 as of June 30, 1998. The Company also has a line of credit agreement
with a commercial bank. Borrowings under the line are limited to the lesser of
65% of eligible domestic accounts receivable or $1,000,000 based on certain
profitability covenants. Borrowings are secured by a first security interest on
substantially all of the Company's assets and bear interest at the bank's prime
rate (8.5% at June 30, 1998) plus 1%. The line of credit contains certain
restrictive covenants, including minimum amounts of profitability, equity,
leverage and liquidity, all as defined in the agreement, and expires on December
31, 1998. There were no amounts outstanding under this line at June 30, 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
The Company believes its financial reserves and cash flows from future
operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for at least
the next twelve months. The foregoing statement is forward-looking and involves
risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company's control. The
Company's actual experience may differ materially from that discussed above.
Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to,
those discussed in "Cautionary Statements" as well as future events that have
the effect of reducing the Company's available cash balances, such as
unanticipated operating losses or capital expenditures or cash expenditures
related to possible future acquisitions. The Company may be presented from time
to time with acquisition opportunities which require additional external
financing, and the Company may from time to time seek to obtain additional funds
from public or private issuances of equity or debt securities. There can be no
assurance that any such financing will be available at all or on terms
acceptable to the Company.

Cautionary Statements
In addition to the other information in this report, the following cautionary
statements should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its
business. Information provided by the Company from time to time may contain
certain "forward-looking" information, as that term is defined by (i) the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") and (ii) in
releases made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These
cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and
with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the "safe harbor" provisions of
the Act.
Variability of Quarterly Operating Results. The Company's quarterly operating
results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, depending upon factors
such as the introduction and market acceptance of new products and new versions
of existing products, the ability to reduce expenses, and the activities of
competitors. Because a high percentage of the Company's expenses are relatively
fixed in the near term, minor variations in the timing of orders and shipments
can cause significant variations in quarterly operating results. The Company
operates with little or no backlog and has no long-term contracts, and
substantially all of its product revenues in each quarter result from software
licenses issued in that quarter, and the Company's ability to accurately
forecast future revenues and income for any period is necessarily limited. Any
forward-looking information provided from time to time by the Company represents
only management's then-best current estimate of future results or trends, and
actual results may differ materially from those contained in the Company's
estimates.
Potential Volatility of Stock Price. There has been significant volatility in
the market price of securities of technology companies. The Company believes
factors such as announcements of new products by the Company or its competitors,
quarterly fluctuations in the Company's financial results or other software
companies' financial results, shortfalls in the Company's actual financial
results compared to results previously forecasted by stock market analysts, and
general conditions in the software industry and conditions in the financial
markets could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate
substantially. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the
Company's Common Stock.
Risks Associated with Acquisitions. The Company has made a number of
acquisitions and will continue to review future acquisition opportunities. No
assurances can be given that acquisition candidates will continue to be
available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. Acquisitions
involve numerous risks, including, among other things, possible dilution to
existing shareholders, difficulties and expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisitions and the subsequent assimilation of the operations and services or
products of the acquired companies, the difficulty of operating new (albeit
related) businesses, the diversion of management's attention from other business
concerns and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. In
the event that the operations of an acquired business do not live up to
expectations, the Company may be required to restructure the acquired business
or

Risks Associated with Acquisitions (continued).
write-off the value of some or all of the assets of the acquired business.
There can be no assurance that any acquisition will be successfully integrated
into the Company's operations.
Risks Associated with Divestitures. The Company's product offerings presently
may be divided between two principal product families - those related to its
Mathcad line addressing the calculation needs of the technical, professional and
education markets, and its S-PLUS offerings, marketed primarily to professionals
needing statistical analysis tools.
In setting strategic goals to maximize shareholder value, the Company from time
to time considers the options of divesting itself of one product family or the
other, or product lines within a given family, to concentrate its focus on the
business opportunity associated with the remaining product family or product
lines.
At the present time, the Company is not party to any agreement relating to the
sale of either of its product families or product lines within such families,
but it may elect to pursue such options at any time. If the Company were to
consummate such a sale, there can be no assurance that it would receive returns
from such sale that investors in the Company would consider attractive.
Risks Associated with Distribution Channels. The Company markets and
distributes its S-PLUS products in the U.S. through the Company's telesales and
outside sales force and internationally through third party resellers and
distributors. Mathcad products are currently marketed and distributed in the
U.S. through third party resellers and distributors, telesales and direct mail.
Internationally, the Company's Mathcad products are marketed and distributed
through third party resellers and distributors. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to retain its current resellers and distributors, or
expand its distribution channels by entering into arrangements with new
resellers and distributors in the Company's current markets or in new markets.
Risks Associated with International Operations. Sales outside North America
accounted for approximately 36.1%, 32.5% and approximately 34.0% of the
Company's total revenues in the twelve months ended June 30, 1995, 1996, and
1997, and approximately 29.5% of the Company's total revenues in the six months
ended December 31, 1997, and approximately 27.7% for the six months ended June
30, 1998, and may continue to represent a significant portion of the Company's
product revenues. Any decrease in sales outside North America may have a
materially adverse effect on the Company's operating results. The Company's
international business and financial performance may be affected by fluctuations
in exchange rates and by trade regulations.

Cautionary Statements
Reliance on Third Party Licensors. Maple V, a software product licensed as a
part of the most recent version of Mathcad, contains certain copyrighted texts
licensed from third party publishers incorporated in the Company's Electronic
Books, and the S programming language, the language on which all of the
StatSci's products are based, are currently licensed from a single source or
limited source suppliers. If such licenses are discontinued, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to independently develop substitutes or
to obtain alternative sources or, if able to be developed or obtained as needed
in the future, that such efforts would not result in delays or reductions in
product shipments or cost increases that could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated business operations.
Rapid Technological Change; Competition. The technical calculation software
market is subject to rapid and substantial technological change, similar to that
affecting the software industry generally. The Company, to remain successful,
must be responsive to new developments in hardware and chip technology,
operating systems, programming technology, Internet technology and multimedia
capabilities. In addition, the Company competes against numerous other
companies, some of which have significant name recognition, as well as
substantially greater capital resources, marketing experience, research and
development staffs and production facilities than the Company. The Company's
financial results may be negatively impacted by the failure of new or existing
products to be favorably received by retailers and consumers due to price,
availability, features, other product choices or the necessity of promotions to
increase sales of the Company's products.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES. The Year 2000 issue exists because many computer systems and
applications currently use two-digit date fields to designate a year. As the
century date change occurs, date-sensitive systems will recognize the year 2000
as 1900, or not at all. This inability to recognize or properly treat the Year
2000 may cause systems to process critical financial and operational information
incorrectly. The Company has done a review of its current products and believes
that they are Year 2000 compliant. The Company utilizes software from third
parties and related technologies throughout its business that will be affected
by the date change in the year 2000. An internal study is currently under way
to determine the full scope and related costs to insure that the Company's
systems continue to meet its needs. The Company began incurring expenses in
1997 to resolve this issue. All expenditures will be expensed as incurred and
they are not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's ongoing
results of operations.

Cautionary Statements
Uncertainties Regarding Protection of Proprietary Technology; Uncertainties
Regarding Patents. The Company believes that while the mathematical
calculations performed by the Company's software are not proprietary, the speed
and quality of displaying the computation and the ease of use are unique to
MathSoft's products. The Company's success will depend, in part, on its ability
to protect the proprietary aspects of its products. The Company seeks to
protect these proprietary aspects of its products principally through a
combination of contract provisions and copyright, patent, trademark and trade
secret laws. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to
protect its proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of
its technology. Although the Company believes that its products and technology
do not infringe any existing proprietary rights of others, the use of patents to
protect software has increased and there may be pending or issued patents of
which the Company is not aware that the Company may need to license or challenge
at significant expense. There can be no assurance that any such license would
be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company would prevail
in any such challenge.
Reliance on Attracting and Retaining Key Employees. The Company's continued
success will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain
highly-qualified technical, managerial, sales and marketing and other personnel.
Competition for such personnel is intense. The Company has non-competition
agreements with its key management and technical personnel. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract or retain such
personnel.
