                                   (Unaudited)


     Coconut Code, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Florida corporation
on April 30, 1984. The Company's principal business is to develop, market and
support accounting and management software primarily to the restaurant and
hospitality industry.


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial statements, the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements have
been condensed or omitted.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows of the Company. The results of operations for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full year. For further information, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996 Annual Report
filed as part of the Company's 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.


2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     In February 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" which requires adoption for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the accounting for earnings per share
by requiring the presentation of basic earnings per share including only
outstanding common stock and diluted earnings per share including the effect of
dilutive common stock equivalents. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per
share are the same since the the Company's common stock equivalents are
antidilutive. In addition, the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share
are the same as that computed under APB No. 15, "Earnings Per Share", as
presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The effect
of the adoption of SFAS No. 128 must be retroactively reflected in the financial
statements.

3. STOCK ISSUANCE

     On January 1, 1997, the Company issued its Vice President of Research and
Development 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Through December 31,
1996, the Company charged compensation expense and credited accrued expenses for
$60,000, representing the fair market value, as determined by the Board of
Directors, of 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock on December 31, 1996.
Such determination by the Board was required as the Company's shares are not,
and have not been in the recent past, actively traded.


4. INCENTIVE STOCK GRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS

     On April 30, 1997 and September 1, 1997, the Company granted 86,159 and
2,500 incentive stock grants, valued by the Company's Board of Directors at
$1.00 per share, to certain key employees of the Company. The grants become 100%
vested at the conclusion of the four year period immediately following the date
of grant. Employees do not vest any portion of the grants prior to the end of
this four year period, and unvested grants revert to the Company upon
termination of the employee. The estimated fair value of the grants amounting to
$88,659 has been recorded as an issuance of common stock with an offsetting
deferred compensation equity account. Such deferred compensation is included in
additional paid-in capital in the accompanying balance sheet. Such value is
being amortized to operating costs and expenses over the vesting period of the
grants.

     On May 15, 1997, the Company granted 90,006 stock options to certain
employees under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan to purchase common shares
at $7.75 per share. The options become exercisable five years from the date of
grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.

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


INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act provides a "safe harbor" for
forward-looking statements. Certain statements included in this Form 10-QSB are
forward-looking and are based on the Company's current expectations and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ significantly from results expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company assumes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein or that may
be made from time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September
30, 1996

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net sales were $3,227,000
versus $1,511,000 for the comparable prior year period. The sales increase of
approximately 114% was directly the result of the growth in sales of custom
software to national and regional restaurant chains. In February 1997, the
Company entered into a $1.9 million contract with a national fast food
restaurant chain for the delivery of custom software for installation in
approximately 700 restaurants during 1997. As of September 30, 1997, the
Company's order backlog approximated $714,000.

     For the first nine months of 1997, operating costs and expenses increased
$472,000 compared to the corresponding 1996 period. The primary reasons for the
increase were higher cost of sales due to the increase in sales, the addition of
research and development staff for custom software development, higher general
and administrative expenses primarily due to growth of the Company, offset in
part by lower selling and marketing expenses as travel and related costs are now
reimbursed to the Company by most major customers. In 1996, the majority of
travel expenses were absorbed by the Company.

     As a result of the growth in sales, the Company recorded a $734,000 profit
for the first nine months of 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd.)

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996

     Net sales for the third quarter of 1997 were $942,000 compared to the 1996
level of $605,000. The reason for the sales increase was due to the growth in
sales of custom software to national and regional restaurant chains.

     Operating costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997
increased $273,000 to $919,000. The principal reasons for the increase were
higher cost of sales attributable to the growth in sales, the addition of
research and development staff to work on custom software development and higher
general and administrative expenses due to the growth of the Company.

     For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recognized net
income of $27,000.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $214,000 compared
to a working capital deficit at December 31, 1996 of $444,000. The improvement
in working capital of $658,000 is primarily a result of cash generated from
operations during the the first nine months of 1997 and due to the growth in
sales of custom software.

     On April 29, 1997, the Company paid off the outstanding balance on its line
of credit amounting to $103,000, which was borrowed in 1996. On May 1, 1997 the
line of credit expired. The Company did not renew the line of credit.

     In January 1995, the Company obtained a $100,000 term loan with a bank.
Borrowings under this facility were used primarily to finance the purchase of
computer hardware for use by the Company's research and development staff in the
design of custom software and the Company's new Windows(R) based software. In
February 1996, the $100,000 balance outstanding under this facility was
converted to a three year term loan bearing interest at the prime rate plus one
percent and requiring 36 equal monthly payments comprised of principal and
interest through March 1999. As of September 30, 1997, $55,013 of principal was
outstanding under the loan.

                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd.)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (cont'd.)

     In January and April 1997, the Company entered into two capital lease
obligations aggregating $78,037 for the purchase of computer hardware for use by
the Company. Each lease has a term of 48 months. As of September 30, 1997,
$68,027 of principal remained outstanding under the leases.

     In March 1997, the Company entered into a 48 month loan in the amount of
$44,124 for the purchase of three automobiles for use by the Company's product
support staff in servicing the Company's major national account. As of September
30, 1997, $35,565 of principal was outstanding under this borrowing.

     The Company believes that cash flow generated from the growth in
fixed-price contracts for the custom development of accounting and management
related software for national and regional restaurant chains, cash resulting
from the Company's new Windows(R) based accounting software now scheduled for
official release by the end of 1997, and continuing sales of the Company's DOS
based accounting software will be sufficient to fund the Company's activities
through the end of the year and will allow the Company to continue to expand
marketing and product distribution.


PART 2. OTHER INFORMATION
