                      NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1998

NOTE A -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information and footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting only of
normal recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair  presentation have
been included.  The results of operations for the interim period ended March 31,
1998, are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the related
footnotes  included in the Company's audited  financial  statements for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE B -- Composition of Certain Financial Statement Captions

1.       Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid securities  purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

2.       Marketable Securities

Marketable securities include government debt securities which mature within one
year.   The   Company   classifies   debt   securities   as    held-to-maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost which equals estimated
fair value.

3.       Inventories

Inventories  consist of finished goods and  work-in-process  which are stated at
the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.

4.       Prepaid Expenses and Deposits

Prepaid expenses and deposits consist of a prepaid license,  prepaid advertising
and brochures and other prepaid  amounts.  The prepaid license will be amortized
over the term of the  license  agreement.  The  Company  expenses  the  costs of
first-time  advertising when the material is published.  Prepaid advertising and
brochures  consist of  advertising  costs paid in advance of  publication.  Also
included  in  prepaid  advertising  and  brochures  expense  are  the  costs  of
developing various marketing and product materials for new software. These costs
are expensed when the software is released.

5.       Equipment and Furniture

Equipment and furniture  consist of office and other equipment and furniture and
fixtures.  Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost
of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives,  ranging
from three to seven years. The straight-line  method of depreciation is followed
for all assets for financial  reporting  purposes.  Accelerated methods are used
for tax purposes.

6.       Capitalized Software

The  Company  capitalizes   certain  initial  software   development  costs  and
enhancements   thereto  incurred  after   technological   feasibility  has  been
demonstrated.  To date,  all products  and  enhancements  thereto have  utilized
proven  technology.  Such  capitalized  amounts are  amortized  commencing  with
product  introduction over the greater of the ratio of current gross revenue for
a product to the total expected gross revenue over the life of that product,  or
the straight-line  method over the remaining  estimated  economic life,  ranging
from 24 to 36 months.

7.       Accrued and Other Liabilities

Accrued and other liabilities consist of accrued salaries, commissions,  payroll
taxes and fringe benefits,  deferred income, accrued royalties and other accrued
liabilities.

8.       Earnings Per Common Share

Basic  earnings per common share  excludes  dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the
potential  dilution that could occur if  securities or other  contracts to issue
common stock were  exercised  or converted  into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted
earnings per common share is computed  similarly to fully  diluted  earnings per
common share pursuant to APB Opinion 15.

The following table  reconciles  basic and diluted earnings per common share for
the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:

                                                 Three months ended March 31,

                                              ----------------------------------

         Denominator
               Weighted-average shares          9,164,740          5,578,230
               Common equivalent shares             -                205,871

               Diluted shares                   9,164,740          5,784,101
                                              ----------------------------------

The loss per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, does not include
the common  equivalent  shares because the effect of such inclusion  would be to
decrease the loss per common share.

NOTE C - Related Party Transactions

During 1996, the Company loaned $95,000 to two officers.  One officer was loaned
$25,000 at an  interest  rate of 9-1/4%,  which was payable on demand and repaid
during 1997. A second  officer was loaned  $70,000 at an interest  rate of 8% in
two separate  promissory notes. Both notes were payable on or before December 1,
1997, with interest.

Additional  notes were issued to the second  officer during fiscal year 1997. On
December 17, 1997, all outstanding notes for this officer were consolidated into
one note of $327,750, including accrued interest. The note is a demand note with
an interest rate of 8.95% and is due in full, without demand notice, on December
17, 2000.  As part of the  agreement,  this officer  pledged  140,000  shares of
common stock as collateral.

NOTE D - Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into  employment  agreements with three  employees.  The
agreements are each for a three-year  period  commencing  between March 1995 and
June 1996 and will renew automatically for succeeding periods of one year unless
sooner  terminated.  In the  event  the  Company  terminates  without  cause the
employment of any of these employees, the employee shall receive an amount equal
to one year's base salary plus accrued benefits and incentive compensation.  The
agreements contain a provision which triples certain amounts due in the event of
a hostile takeover.  The agreements also contain  provisions for the accelerated
vesting of options if certain defined changes to the composition of the Board of
Directors should occur.

when  issued,  are granted at various  times during the year and vest based upon
individual  grant  specifications.  The exercise  price of each option equals or
exceeds  the  market  price of the  Company's  stock on the  date of  grant.  No
compensation cost has been recognized for employee options.

2.       Prepaid Warrants Issued

During 1996,  the Company sold three  prepaid  warrants to a private fund in the
amount of $500,000 each for a total of  $1,500,000.  Each warrant is convertible
into  shares of common  stock at the  lower of $5.25  per  share,  or 85% of the
arithmetic  average  of the  prior  five  days  closing  prices.  As part of the
agreement,  the Company also issued 33,613 options at an exercise price of $5.25
per  share to the  private  fund.  The  options  have a term of four  years.  In
addition,  the Company  issued 20,000  options at an exercise price of $5.25 per
share to both Tanner Unman Securities,  Inc., and Prudential  Securities,  Inc.,
both of whom facilitated the agreement with the private fund. These options also
have a term of four  years.  As of  December  31,  1997,  the  private  fund had
converted the prepaid warrants into 526,832 shares of common stock.

3.       Preferred Stock Issued

During 1996, the Company's  Board of Directors  approved a private  placement of
Series A-2 8%  convertible,  redeemable  preferred  stock and  associated  stock
warrants.  Dividends on the preferred stock are cumulative and payable  annually
in arrears,  beginning  January 1, 1998, in either cash or additional  shares of
preferred stock, at the option of the Company.  The dividend is calculated as 8%
of the book  value  of the  stock,  based on its  original  trading  price.  The
preferred stock is convertible into ten shares of common stock any time after 30
days from the date of issuance.  Any  unconverted  preferred  stock remaining at
January 1, 2002, will automatically be converted into ten shares of common stock
per preferred  share at that time. Each share of preferred stock was also issued
with one warrant  entitling  the holder to purchase  ten shares of common  stock
each at $4.18 per share.  At March 31, 1998,  and December 31, 1997, the Company
had  outstanding  28,874  and  26,771  shares of  Series  A-2  preferred  stock,
respectively, and 44,415 associated stock warrants.

In March 1997, the Company's Board of Directors  approved a private placement of
Series  A-3,  convertible,  redeemable  preferred  stock  and  associated  stock
warrants.  The  Company  sold 2,502  shares of Series A-3  preferred  stock to a
private fund for a total of $2,502,000. Each share is convertible into shares of
common stock at the lower of $3.44 per share,  or 85% of the arithmetic  average
of the prior five days closing  prices.  As part of the  agreement,  the Company
also  issued  85,568  options  at an  exercise  price of $4.30  per share to the
private fund.  The options have a term of four years.  In addition,  the Company
issued  25,020  options at an exercise  price of $3.44 per share to Tanner Unman
Securities,  Inc., and 20,000 options at an exercise price of $4.30 per share to
Prudential  Securities,  Inc.,  both of whom  facilitated the agreement with the
private fund.  These options also have a term of four years.  As of December 31,
1997,  the  private  fund had  converted  the  Series A-3  preferred  stock into
2,382,268 shares of common stock.

4.       Common Stock Issued

In October 1997, the Company's Board of Directors  approved a private  placement
of common stock units. The Company sold 727,274 units for a total of $1,000,000.
Each unit  consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant which entitles
the holder to purchase one share of common  stock at an exercise  price of $1.75
per share. As part of the agreement,  the Company also issued  purchase  options
for  72,727  additional  units at an  exercise  price of $1.51 per unit to M. H.
Meyerson & Co. which served as the placement agent.  These purchase options have
a term of five years.

              NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

NOTE F - Export Sales

The Company sells software abroad through distributors, dealers and mail orders.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, export sales to Brazil and Germany
totaled $260,000 and $226,000,  respectively,  or approximately 6% and 5% of net
sales,  respectively.  During the corresponding  period in 1997, export sales to
Canada and Brazil totaled $389,000 and $385,000,  respectively, or approximately
11% and 10% of net sales, respectively.  Total export sales for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  were  approximately  $1,298,000 and  $1,886,000,
respectively.

NOTE G - Concentration of Credit Risk

Due to the nature of the Company's business, sales to a few customers, primarily
software   distributors  and  original  equipment   manufacturers  (OEMs),  have
accounted for a significant  percentage of the Company's sales. During the three
months ended March 31, 1998, one customer accounted for 37% of net sales. During
the corresponding period in 1997, two customers accounted for 10% or more of net
sales each (in aggregate, representing 28% of net sales). Accounts receivable at
March 31, 1998,  and December 31, 1997,  include  approximately  $2,020,000  and
$1,805,000,   respectively,  in  amounts  due  from  the  Company's  significant
customer(s).

to shifts in market demand; risk of nonpayment of material customer receivables;
continued  success in current  product  enhancements  and  language  translation
technology  advances;  risks  associated  with the sales of  products in foreign
markets, including currency fluctuations; unanticipated costs or adverse effects
associated  with  distributors,  vendors  and  suppliers;  litigation  involving
intellectual property, licensing and consumer issues; availability of sufficient
resources  including  short- and long-term  financing to carry out the Company's
product development and marketing plans; and other unanticipated  business risks
and uncertainties. In the context of the forward-looking information provided in
this Form 10-QSB,  please refer to the Company's most recent Form 10-KSB and the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The  Registrant's  net loss for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  was
$150,000  compared to net income of  $100,000  for the  corresponding  period in
1997.  Revenues for the same three month period increased 20% to $4,429,000 from
$3,706,000.

Product  sales for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  increased  7% to
$3,816,000 from $3,556,000 for the  corresponding  period in the prior year. The
Company  continues  to open new  distributor  channels,  increase  growth in the
existing  distributor  channels and pursue  additional  OEM  opportunities.  The
Language  Assistant  Series  Localized  version  and the  Power  Translator  and
Language  Assistant  Series  versions  for Windows in CD-ROM media have been the
primary  vehicles  for sales to the  Company's  distributors  and have been well
accepted. In addition,  the Company introduced Power Translator Pro 6.2 in March
1997,  Language  Assistant 2.0 in September 1997 and Globalink Power  Translator
for  Workgroups  in March 1998,  all of which have also been well  accepted  and
contributed to sales during the period ended March 31, 1998.

International sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998,  decreased 31% to
$1,298,000  from  $1,886,000 for the  corresponding  period in 1997. The primary
exports have been to Europe, Canada and Latin America.  International sales have
been primarily  attributable to further  development of the Company's network of
international distributors,  along with additional OEM contracts entered into in
Latin America and Europe.  The Company continues to experience revenue pressures
resulting from the increased  efforts in reducing  distributor  inventory in the
channels,  aligning  sell-through  campaigns  with  sales of  products  into the
channels  and  collecting  existing  receivable  balances  to  provide  for more
consistent sales cycles.

Translation  Services  revenue  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,
increased  307% to $613,000  from $150,000 for the  corresponding  period in the
prior year.  The  increase in revenues  for this group was a result of obtaining
larger jobs and establishing more long-term projects with the group's customers.

                                       8

Sales returns and allowances increased to $928,000 for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1998,  compared to $716,000 for the  corresponding  period in 1997 due
primarily  to the  increase in product  sales.  The Company  has  continued  its
efforts to reduce distributor  inventory and align  sell-through  campaigns with
sales of products into the channels. Distribution agreements typically allow for
the return of certain  merchandise to provide for stock  balancing.  The Company
continuously  monitors these programs and makes appropriate  accruals monthly to
handle future distribution stock balancing.  The following table shows the gross
product sales, returns and net product sales for the periods indicated.

                                                Three months ended March 31,
                                               1998                     1997
                                          --------------------------------------
     Gross Product Sales                  $  4,744,000             $  4,272,000
     Returns                                  (928,000)                (716,000)
                                          --------------------------------------
     Net Product Sales                    $  3,816,000             $  3,556,000
                                          --------------------------------------

Cost of products  sold for the three months ended March 31, 1998,  decreased 11%
to $422,000 from $476,000 for the  corresponding  period in the prior year.  The
decrease in cost of products sold was  primarily  due to increased  sales of the
Globalink  Power  Translator for Workgroups  product which carries a much higher
gross profit margin than the Company's other  products.  Gross profit margin was
90%  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  compared  to 87% for the
corresponding  period in 1997.  The increase in gross profit margin was directly
attributable to the decrease in cost of products sold.

Amortization of capitalized  software for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
decreased 7% to $162,000 from $174,000 for the corresponding period in the prior
year. The decrease is due to certain previously capitalized software development
costs becoming fully amortized in June of 1997. This was partially offset by the
release of new  products  in March and  September  of 1997 for which  previously
capitalized software development costs began to be amortized.

Direct labor and fringes,  which principally include charges for independent and
in-house translators within the translation  services group,  increased 415% for
the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  to  $361,000  from  $70,000  for the
corresponding  period in 1997.  These  expenses  increased  from 47% to 59% as a
percentage  of  Translation  Services  revenues.  This  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to the increased  sales for this group and to  fluctuations in the
number and relative  size of jobs being  performed,  as the gross margin  varies
with  the  nature  and  size of the  job due to the  fixed  costs  incurred  and
administrative tasks performed.

Product   development   expenses,   which   consist  of  the  current   cost  of
non-capitalizable  development expenses, increased 2% for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, to $228,000 from  $223,000 for the  corresponding  period in the
prior year.

Selling,  marketing  and other  expenses,  which  include  the costs of selling,
marketing,  customer support,  shipping and administration for product sales and
translation  services,  increased 33%, or $597,000,  to $2,386,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998,  from  $1,789,000 for the  corresponding  period in
1997.  This increase was primarily  attributable  to increased  commissions  and
increased  promotion and  advertising  programs  associated with the increase in
sales.

General and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily of payroll and related
expenses,  occupancy costs,  travel and related expenses for senior  management,
finance and  accounting,  legal and  administration.  For the three months ended
March 31, 1998,  these expenses  increased 16%, or $138,000,  to $1,000,000 from
$862,000 for the corresponding  period in the prior year. The increases occurred
primarily in the areas of payroll, legal and accounting fees,  recruiting,  rent
and  depreciation  as a result of  additional  expenses  incurred to support the
growth of the Company.

Interest expense was $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared
to  $12,000  for the  corresponding  period  in 1997.  This was due to  interest
expense  incurred as a result of draws on the Company's  revolving and equipment
lines of credit.

                                       9

Income Tax Expense

No provision  for income taxes was required due to the  Company's  net operating
loss  ("NOL")  carryforwards.  Approximately  $10,478,000  of NOL  carryforwards
existed at December 31, 1997.

Accordingly,  the NOL  carryforwards  at March 31, 1998, are sufficient to cover
any potential  income tax expense  generated as a result of any future  earnings
reported.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

The  Company  anticipates  that the net  proceeds  from the sale of the  prepaid
warrants and the issuance of the preferred and common stock units, together with
cash flow from operations,  existing cash balances and periodic borrowings under
the  Company's  bank lines of credit,  will be  adequate  to meet the  Company's
expected cash requirements through 1998.

While operating  activities may provide cash in certain  periods,  to the extent
the Company  experiences growth in the future, the Company  anticipates that its
operating and product development activities,  along with extended payment terms
for  certain  distributors,  may use cash and,  consequently,  such  growth  may
require the Company to obtain additional  sources of financing.  There can be no
assurances that unforeseen  events may not require more working capital than the
Company currently has at its disposal.

If  additional  funds are raised  through the issuance of equity or  convertible
securities,  the  Company's  current  shareholders  will  experience  additional
dilution.  While management of the Company believes  additional  funding will be
available  if and  when  needed,  there  can  be no  assurance  that  additional
financing will be available on terms  acceptable to the Company,  if at all. The
inability  to obtain  additional  financing,  if and when  needed,  would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

The  Company  has  experienced  certain  payment  delays  from  some  of its OEM
customers due to various factors,  such as, local banking  regulations in Brazil
and tax withholding  requirements in other countries. The Company has also filed
suit against one customer in France, which represents  approximately  $1,547,000
of overdue OEM  receivables.  The case will be heard in May 1998 and  management
believes  it is  probable  that the  balance  of this  receivable  will be fully
collected. The Brazilian economy has experienced significant shifts and currency
fluctuations  during  the  last  several  years.  With the  introduction  of the
Portuguese  version  of Power  Translator  Pro 6.2 in March  1997,  the  Company
experienced  significant  revenue  generation in the Brazilian market.  Accounts
receivable  at  March  31,  1998,  included  approximately  $3,596,000  due from
Brazilian  partners.  While the Company has experienced some delays in scheduled
payments from such  partners,  it is  management's  belief that payments will be
made in full over the next  several  months.  Management  of the  Company  works
closely  with its  partners  on a  continuous  basis in order to  insure  timely
collection  of amounts owed to the  Company.  If the  Brazilian  economy were to
worsen  significantly,  timeliness of cash receipts from these partners could be
jeopardized  and thus adversely  impact the Company's  overall  working  capital
position.

The  Company has secured a  $1,500,000  revolving  line of credit and a $750,000
equipment  line of credit with First Union  National Bank. As of March 31, 1998,
the Company had $1,500,000 outstanding under the revolving line of credit, which
is being used to finance accounts receivable and other working capital needs. In
addition,  the Company had  $326,000  outstanding  under the  equipment  line of
credit which was used to finance furniture and equipment purchases.

Other than as discussed above, the Company is not aware of any known trends,  or
uncertainties,  that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect
on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.
