              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 1998 and for 
the three and six months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited and 
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which 
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the 
Company's financial position and operating results for the interim periods.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with 
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of 
operations, contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the 
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending 
March 31, 1999 or any other future periods.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

"Basic" earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by 
the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. "Diluted" 
earnings per share reflects the net incremental shares that would be issued 
if outstanding stock options were exercised and if the funds collected for 
the employee stock purchase plan were used to purchase treasury shares.

In the case of a net loss, it is assumed that no incremental shares would be 
issued because they would be antidilutive. In addition, certain options are 
considered antidilutive because the options' exercise prices were above the 
average market price during the period. Antidilutive shares are not included 
in the computation of diluted earnings per share, in accordance with SFAS No. 
128.

<PAGE>

Options to purchase 0.3 million shares were outstanding for the three and six 
month periods ended September 30, 1998 but were not included in the 
computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price 
was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, 
therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. The effect on earnings per share 
if these antidilutive shares were included would be immaterial.

3.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, 
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards of 
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components of net 
income and "other comprehensive income" in a full set of general-purpose 
financial statements. "Other comprehensive income" refers to revenues, 
expenses, gains and losses that are not included in net income but rather are 
recorded directly in stockholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 is effective for 
annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and for periods 
ended before that date when presented for comparative purposes. Total 
comprehensive income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 amounted to 
approximately $4.2 million, and total comprehensive income for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1997 amounted to approximately $0.1 million. Total 
comprehensive income for the six months ended September 30, 1998 amounted to 
approximately $7.1 million, and total comprehensive loss for the six months 
ended September 30, 1997 amounted to approximately $0.8 million. In addition 
to net income or net loss, the primary components of comprehensive income 
related to unrealized gains and losses of the Company's available-for-sale 
investments. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1998, 
the components of other comprehensive income totaled $0.06 million and 
$0.01 million, respectively. For the comparable periods in the prior year, 
the components of other comprehensive income totaled $0.2 million and 
$0.1 million, respectively.

4.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, 
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 
No. 131 establishes standards for the manner in which public companies report 
information about operating segments in annual and interim financial 
statements. The Company is currently evaluating the operating segment 
information that it will be required to report. The Company is required to 
adopt the new standard for its year ending March 31, 1999.

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 
released Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of 
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides 
guidance on capitalization of certain costs incurred in the development of 
software for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial statements 
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. In accordance with 
SOP 98-1, the Company capitalizes costs of consulting services, hardware, and 
payroll related costs incurred during internal-use software development. The 
Company expenses costs incurred during preliminary project assessment, 
research and development, re-engineering, training and application 
maintenance.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.133, 
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and 
for hedging activities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the 
new rule on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company is 
required to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001.

5.   INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes during interim reporting periods based 
upon an estimate of the annual effective tax rate. Such an estimate reflects 
an effective tax rate lower 

                                      7
<PAGE>

than the federal statutory rate primarily because of utilization of research 
and experimentation tax credits, and foreign operating results, which are 
taxed at rates other than the US statutory rate. The effective rate used for 
the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was 31%.

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended September 30, 1998, the Company made loans 
totaling $2.5 million to two officers in conjunction with their hiring and 
relocation. The loans are full recourse and are included in other long-term 
assets. The notes bear interest at 5.56% and 5.51% per annum and are secured 
by the personal residences of the officers. The notes mature in 2001 and are 
callable on demand if the officers terminate employment with the Company. For 
the three and six months ended September 30, 1998, interest income on the 
notes was immaterial.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except for the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q, the 
matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements that involve risks 
and uncertainties, including those detailed below under "Factors That May 
Affect Future Results of Operations," and from time to time in the Company's 
other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The actual 
results that the Company achieves may differ materially from any 
forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. Macromedia develops and markets software tools, servers, and 
services for web publishing, web learning and web traffic. The Company sells 
its products in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America 
through a network of distributors, value-added resellers (VARs), its own 
sales force and web site, and to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In 
addition, the Company derives revenues from advertising, maintenance, and 
technology licensing contracts.

Revenues increased $6.1 million or 21% to $35.2 million in the second quarter 
of fiscal 1999 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998. Revenues from 
the Company's new web products, including Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, and 
web traffic, comprised the majority of the increase, accounting for 39% of 
total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. During the second quarter 
of fiscal 1999 the Company shipped a new version of Authorware, and two new 
products, Generator and Dreamweaver Attain. Comparing the first six months of 
fiscal year 1999 over the same period last year, revenues increased $11.1 
million or 20% due to the sales of new web products, and an increase in the 
sales of Freehand due to product cycle timing. These increases offset a 
decline in the sales of Director over the same period, again due to product 
cycle timing. Windows and hybrid product revenues represented 57% of total 
product revenues, while Macintosh-related revenue was 43% of product revenue, 
with growth on both platforms over the same period a year ago.

North American revenues reached $20.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 
1999, an increase of $7.3 million or 54% over the second quarter of 1998. For 
the first six months of the current year, North American sales increased $9.3 
million or 31% over the same period last year due to the shipment of new 
products. International revenues decreased 8% from the second quarter fiscal 
1998 to $14.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The decrease was 
primarily the result of the economic slowdown in Japan. Excluding Japan from 
the comparison, international revenues increased 28% over the prior year. 
Revenues by geographic region vary quarter to quarter depending on product 
cycles and the timing of the release of localized versions of products, and 
the economic conditions of the various regions.

</TABLE>

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 91% for the three 
and six months ended September 30, 1998, compared with 82% and 83% for the 
comparable periods last year. Gross profit of $32.0 million for the second 
quarter of fiscal 1999 was up 34% over the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The 
improvement over both periods is the result of cost control programs 
implemented over the last year, including a move to just-in-time 
manufacturing which resulted in lower inventory obsolescence and lower 
inventory levels, and improved inventory review procedures. The Company 
believes these business process changes will result in ongoing, sustained 
margin performance. However, gross margins may be affected from time to time 
by the mix of distribution channels used, mix of products sold, and the mix 
of international versus domestic revenues.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.4 million for 
both the three and six months ended September 30, 1998, when compared to the 
same periods last year. The increase was due primarily to higher compensation 
and benefit levels associated with higher headcount, as well as to the 
amortization of capitalized costs arising from distribution agreements. As a 
percentage of revenues, expenses decreased to 43% and 44%, respectively, for 
the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1998 from 47% and 50% in 
the comparable period in the preceding year. The improvement was due to 
higher sales levels in the current year.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses for the three and 
six months ended September 30, 1998 were $8.8 million and $17.3 million, 
respectively, an increase of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, as compared to 
the same periods last year. In both periods, expenses grew as a result of 
higher compensation and benefit expenses associated with additional headcount 
to support new product development and technology infrastructure. As a 
percentage of revenues, costs for the three and six months ended September 
30, 1998 were 25% and 26%, respectively, compared with 27% and 29% for the 
same periods last year. The improvement was due to higher sales levels in 
fiscal 1999.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses for the 
second quarter of fiscal 1999 increased $0.5 million or 17% over the second 
quarter of the prior year. The increase in costs was due to higher 
compensation and benefit expenses, increased legal fees arising out of the 
class action lawsuits (described below), and additional accounting and tax 
fees for the establishment of an offshore tax structure (described below). 
General and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues remained 
constant at 9% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and at 
10% and 9%, respectively, for the six months ended September 1998 and 1997.

OTHER INCOME. Other income in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 of $1.3 
million was $0.1 million higher than the second quarter of 1998. Comparing 
the first six months of fiscal 1999 with the same period in fiscal year 1998, 
other income was higher by $0.3 million. In both periods, the increase was 
primarily due to interest income earned on higher investment balances.

PROVISION/BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's provision for income taxes 
for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 increased $1.7 million over the second 
quarter of 1998, due to an increase in net profit before tax of $5.6 million. 
For the first six months of fiscal year 1999, the current year provision 
increased by $3.6 million over fiscal year 1998, due to an increase in net 
profit before tax of $11.7 million. The effective tax rate for both the 
second quarter and first six months of both fiscal years was 31%.

                                      9

OFFSHORE, INTANGIBLE HOLDING COMPANY (IHC). The Company established 
Macromedia Ireland Limited as an offshore, intangible holding company, 
resident and registered in Barbados effective October 1, 1998. The purpose of 
this new corporate structure is to take advantage of certain tax provisions 
which allow deferral of taxes on international product sales. Macromedia 
Ireland Limited, an Irish company, buys existing core technology from 
Macromedia, Inc. (US) in the form of royalty payments and sells Macromedia 
products in the European market. The IHC has two branches, Macromedia UK, a 
United Kingdom company serving as an administrative arm processing customer 
orders, and Macromedia BV, a Dutch (Netherlands) company operating as the 
European sales arm, employing sales representatives and selling to 
distributors. Macromedia KK (Japan), Macromedia Canada Limited, and 
Macromedia, Inc. in Australia may be integrated into the structure at a later 
date, and if so, will be treated as branches of Macromedia Ireland Limited. 
Due to this change in tax structure and the utilization of research and 
experimentation credits, the Company anticipates that its tax rate will 
decrease below its current rate of 31%. This estimate is based on current tax 
law and is subject to change.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investments of $91.3 million. For the six months ended September 30, 1998, 
cash provided by operating activities of $16.7 million was primarily 
attributable to net income for the period of $7.1 million and an increase in 
unearned revenue of $6.7 million associated with licensing agreements, 
partially offset by an increase in prepaid marketing costs, plus the net 
impact of the sales, cash disbursements and cash collection cycles. Cash used 
in investment activities of $7.6 million related primarily to the purchase of 
fixed and other long-term assets. Cash used in financing activities of $5.7 
million was attributable to the acquisition of treasury stock of $11.4 
million, offset by proceeds of $5.7 million received from the exercise of 
common stock options. Collectively, the above activity resulted in an 
increase in cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 million from the March 31, 1998 
balances. Working capital decreased by $0.5 million from the March 31, 1998 
balance of $81.8 million, to $81.3 million at September 30, 1998. The Company 
anticipates future capital expenditures of at least $8.0 million for the 
remainder of fiscal 1999.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company made investments in 
property and equipment totaling $4.1 million. This amount includes $2.0 
million related to the development of a new information technology 
infrastructure for sales and marketing, customer support, on-line product 
distribution, and technical support. The costs capitalized under the project 
are comprised primarily of hardware, software and consulting fees for 
software development. The Company expects to spend approximately $5.0 million 
on the project over the next year, the majority of which will be capitalized. 
Amortization of the project will begin in the third quarter fiscal 1999.

In addition to cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, the 
Company has $15.0 million available under an unsecured revolving line of 
credit. The line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate and 
expires on July 15, 1999. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had no 
borrowings outstanding.

The Company believes that existing cash resources, available bank borrowings 
and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's 
cash and investment requirements through at least September 30, 1999.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTENSE COMPETITION. The markets for the Company's products are highly 
competitive and characterized by pressure to reduce prices, incorporate new 
features, and accelerate the release of new product versions. A number of 
companies currently offer products that compete directly or indirectly with 
one or more of the Company's products. These companies include Adobe Systems 
Inc. (Adobe), Apple Computer, Inc., Asymetrix Corporation, Corel Corporation 
(Corel), MetaCreations Corporation, and Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft). As 
the Company competes with larger competitors such as Adobe, Corel and 
Microsoft across a 

                                     10
<PAGE>

broader range of product lines and different platforms, the Company may face 
increasing competition from such companies.

FLUCTUATIONS OF OPERATING RESULTS; PRODUCT INTRODUCTION DELAYS. The Company's 
quarterly operating results may vary significantly depending on the timing of 
new product introductions and enhancements by the Company. A majority of the 
Company's revenues is derived from four products: Director, FreeHand, Flash, 
and Dreamweaver. The Company has in the past experienced delays in the 
development of new products and enhancement of existing products, and such 
delays may occur in the future. If the Company is unable, due to resource 
constraints or technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce such 
products in a timely manner, this inability could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's results of operations. If the Company does not ship 
new versions of its products as planned, sales of existing versions decline, 
or new products do not receive market acceptance, the Company's results of 
operations in a given quarter could be materially adversely affected as they 
were during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 when the Company delayed 
shipment of a new version of Director to the following quarter.

DEPENDENCE ON DISTRIBUTORS. A substantial majority of the Company's revenues 
is derived from the sale of its products through a variety of distribution 
channels, including traditional software distributors, mail order, 
educational distributors, VARs, OEMs, hardware and software superstores, 
retail dealers, and direct sales. Domestically, the Company's products are 
sold primarily through distributors, VARs, and OEMs. In particular, one 
distributor, Ingram Micro, Inc., accounted for 28% of gross revenues in 
fiscal 1998 and in the first six months of fiscal 1999. Internationally, the 
Company's products are sold through distributors.

DEPENDENCE ON MACINTOSH PLATFORM. In the past, a majority of the Company's 
revenues was derived from its products for the Macintosh. Macintosh revenues 
accounted for 43% of product revenues for the first six months of fiscal 
1999, down from 44% of revenues for all of fiscal 1998. Although the relative 
percentage of Macintosh platform revenues will vary from quarter to quarter 
based on product release schedules, the Company remains heavily dependent on 
the sale of products for the Macintosh platform. A continuing leveling-off or 
decline in the sales rate of multimedia-capable Macintosh computers or shifts 
in mail order or other distribution mechanisms for Macintosh products could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. For the first six months of fiscal 1999, 
the Company derived approximately 42% of its revenues from international 
sales, compared with 48% for all of fiscal 1998. The Company expects that 
international sales will continue to generate a significant percentage of its 
revenues. The Company relies on distributors for sales of its products in 
foreign countries and, accordingly, is dependent on their ability to promote 
and support the Company's products, and in some cases, to translate them into 
foreign languages. International business is subject to a number of special 
risks, including: foreign government regulation; general geopolitical risks 
such as political and economic instability, hostilities with neighboring 
countries and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships; more prevalent 
software piracy; unexpected changes in, or imposition of, regulatory 
requirements, tariffs, import and export restrictions and other barriers and 
restrictions; longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in accounts 
receivable collection, potentially adverse tax consequences, the burdens of 
complying with a variety of foreign laws; foreign currency risk; and other 
factors beyond the control of the Company.

In addition, the Company's results may be adversely affected by macroeconomic 
events beyond the control of the Company, such as the general economic 
downturn in Japan. The Company has experienced a significant decline in its 
revenue from Japan beginning in fiscal 1998, from 21% of the Company's total 
revenue in fiscal 1997 to 15% of total revenues in fiscal 1998, and just 10% 
of revenues in the first six months of fiscal year 1999. There can be no 
assurances that Japan's economy will recover in the near term or that the 
Company's results or growth rates in this geographic region will return to 
previous levels even if the recovery occurs.

                                     11
<PAGE>

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce economic 
exposure associated with sales and asset balances denominated in various 
European currencies and Japanese Yen. As of September 30, 1998, the notional 
principal of forward contracts outstanding amounted to $6.5 million. There 
were no significant unrealized gains or losses at September 30, 1998. There 
can be no assurance that such contracts will adequately hedge the Company's 
exposure to currency fluctuations.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK. Due to the factors noted above, the Company's future 
earnings and stock price may be subject to significant volatility, 
particularly on a quarterly basis. Any shortfall in revenues or earnings from 
levels expected by securities analysts could have an immediate and 
significant adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock 
in any given period. Additionally, the Company may not learn of such 
shortfalls until late in the fiscal quarter, which could result in an even 
more immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's 
common stock. Finally, the Company participates in a highly dynamic industry. 
In addition to factors specific to the Company, changes in analysts' earnings 
estimates for the Company or its industry and factors affecting the corporate 
environment or the securities markets in general will often result in 
significant volatility of the Company's common stock price.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code and 
embedded technology in existing systems as the year 2000 approches. The "Year 
2000 Issue" arises from the potential for computers to fail or operate 
incorrectly because their programs incorrectly interpret the two digit date 
fields "00" as 1900 or some other year, rather than the year 2000. The year 
2000 issue creates risk for the Company from unforeseen problems in its own 
computer systems and from third parties, including customers, vendors and 
manufacturers, with whom the Company deals on financial transactions 
worldwide. Failures of the Company's and/or third parties' computer systems 
could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business 
activities or operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect 
the Company's results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition, 
though the impact is unknown at this time.

To mitigate this risk, the Company has established a formal year 2000 program 
to oversee and coordinate the assessment, remediation, testing and reporting 
activities related to this issue. The Company believes that with the 
completion of the project as scheduled, the possibility of significant 
interruptions of normal operations should be reduced.

The Company has completed the assessment phase of its year 2000 program. As 
part of this assessment, the Company's application systems (e.g., financial 
systems, various custom-developed business applications), technology 
infrastructure (e.g., networks, servers, desktop equipment), facilities 
(e.g., security systems, fire alarm systems), vendors/partners and products 
were reviewed to determine their state of year 2000 compliance. This review 
included the collection of documentation from software and hardware 
manufacturers, the detailed review of programming code for custom 
applications, the physical testing of desktop equipment using software 
designed to test for year 2000 compliance, the examination of key 
vendors'/partners' year 2000 programs and the ongoing testing of the 
Company's products as part of normal quality assurance activities.

This assessment revealed no significant issues with the Company's 
applications systems, technology infrastructure, facilities or products. The 
assessment identified that certain of the Company's vendors/partners 
themselves have significant year 2000 programs, the successes of which are 
important to the Company. The Company will establish a contingency plan for 
each critical vendor/partner, the activation of which will be dependent on 
the failure of the vendor/partner to achieve key milestones in their 
programs. The Company anticipates these contingency plans will be completed 
by December 31, 1998.

With the completion of the Company's assessment phase, and with very little 
remedial action necessary, the Company is now beginning the testing phase of 
its program. Testing of the Company's internal software will be accomplished 
through simulation situations. The Company will simulate January 1, 2000 on 
its network, servers and desktop equipment to ensure compliance with year 
2000 readiness. It is forecast that all important systems (both computer 
systems and systems dependent on embedded technologies) will be tested by 
March 31, 1999. The Company is targeting June 30, 1999 for the completion of 
all other testing.

                                     12
<PAGE>

The Company believes that the costs associated with completing its year 2000 
program will be $.8 million. The Company reached this assessment with the 
assistance of outside consultants, which the Company paid $0.2 million. 
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience 
serious unanticipated negative consequences and/or additional material costs 
caused by undetected errors or defects in the technology used in its internal 
systems, or by failures of its vendors/partners to address their year 2000 
issues in a timely and effective manner.

As of the end of second quarter of fiscal year 1999, approximately 20% of the 
total estimated year 2000 program costs have been incurred. Of the 
expenditures remaining for the program, it is estimated that 25% of this 
represents costs associated with human resources performing testing, and 75% 
represents miscellaneous hardware and software upgrades required for the 
completion of the year 2000 program. The funding for the year 2000 program is 
being provided as a normal operating expense (except in the case of any new 
capital hardware, which is being funded from standard capital budgets).

Should miscalculations or other operational errors occur as a result of the 
Year 2000 issue, the company or the parties on which it depends may be unable 
to produce reliable information or to process routine transactions. 
Furthermore, in the worst case, the Company or the parties on which it 
depends may, for an extended period of time, be incapable of conducting 
critical business activities which include but are not limited to, 
manufacturing and shipping products, invoicing customers and paying vendors.

The Company is currently evaluating its software products for Year 2000 
compliance. The Company believes that the changes and improvements it is 
making to its software will handle Year 2000 compliance correctly, assuming 
that the operating systems upon which they will run have been updated to 
comply. Macromedia's software products obtain date information, such as 
creation dates and modification dates, directly from the computers' operating 
system. Both Microsoft and Apple have stated that their operating systems 
will continue to operate properly into the twenty-first century.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 31, 1997, a complaint entitled Rosen et al. v. Macromedia, Inc., et 
al., (Case No. 988526) was filed in the Superior Court for San Francisco, 
California. The complaint alleges that Macromedia and five of its former or 
current officers and directors engaged in securities fraud in violation of 
California Corporations Code Sections 25400 and 25500 by seeking to inflate 
the value of Macromedia stock by issuing statements that were allegedly false 
or misleading (or omitted material facts necessary to make any statements 
made not false or misleading) regarding the Company's financial results and 
prospects. Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of all persons who purchased 
Macromedia common stock from April 18, 1996 through January 9, 1997. Four 
similar complaints by persons seeking to represent the same class of 
purchasers subsequently have been filed in San Francisco Superior Court, and 
consolidated for pre-trial purposes with Rosen. Defendants filed demurrers to 
the complaint and other motions, which were argued on December 19, 1997 and 
January 5, 1998. Before the demurrers could be heard, one defendant, Richard 
Wood, died in an automobile accident. By order dated March 6, 1998, claims 
against Susan Bird were dismissed with leave to amend and the Court overruled 
the demurrers as to Macromedia, John Colligan, James Von Ehr, II, and Kevin 
Crowder. The Plaintiffs did not file an amended complaint, and defendants 
have answered. By agreement of the parties, the rulings apply to the other 
state court actions, and separate answers to the remaining complaints need 
not be filed. Discovery is now proceeding.

On September 25, 1997, a complaint entitled City Nominees v. Macromedia, Inc. 
et al., (Case No. C-97-3521-SC) was filed in the United States District Court 
for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that 
Macromedia and five of its former or current officers and directors engaged 
in securities fraud in violation of Sections 10 and 20(a) of the Securities 
and Exchange Act of 1934 by seeking to inflate the value of Macromedia stock 
by issuing statements that were allegedly false or misleading (or omitted 
material facts necessary to make any statements made not false or misleading) 
regarding the Company's financial results and prospects. Plaintiffs seek to 
represent a class of all persons who purchased Macromedia common stock from 
April 18, 1996 through January 9, 1997. Three similar complaints by persons 
seeking to represent the same class of purchasers subsequently have been 
filed in United States District Court for the Northern District of 
California. All of these cases have been consolidated. Lead plaintiffs and 
lead counsel have been appointed under the provisions of the Private 
Securities Law Reform Act by the District Court pursuant to an Order of 
January 23, 1998. A consolidated complaint was filed on February 13, 1998. 
Defendants promptly moved to dismiss, which motion was granted by order filed 
May 18, 1998, on the grounds that plaintiffs' claims were barred by the 
applicable statute of limitations. Judgment was entered in favor of all 
defendants. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal. 
Briefing on the appeal is underway.

All complaints seek damages in unspecified amounts, as well as other forms of 
relief. The Company believes the complaints are without merit and intends to

     WHEREAS, Lender desires to loan a certain sum to Borrower and Borrower
wishes to borrow a certain sum from Lender in order that Borrower may purchase

          1.2  NOTE.  Borrower's indebtedness to Lender under the Loan will be

assignment for the benefit of creditors or the appointment of a receiver,

          7.2  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust
and the exhibits and schedules attached thereto constitute the entire agreement
and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof
and supersede any prior understandings or agreements of the parties with respect
to such subject matter.

          7.3  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The terms and conditions of this
Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and assigns of the parties; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that Borrower may not

<PAGE>

obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any interest herein or

rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.  This Agreement and
