               NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 1998 and for the 
three months ended June 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 months ended June 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.

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. For the three 
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the difference between comprehensive 
income and net income was immaterial.  The primary components of other 
comprehensive income in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 are unrealized 
gains and losses related to the Company's available-for-sale securities.

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 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 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 June 30, 1998 was 31%.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES.  The Company derives revenues primarily from software sales to 
domestic and international distributors, value-added resellers (VARs), 
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), corporate accounts, and registered 
users.  To a lesser extent, revenues are also derived from contracts to 
provide maintenance to customers and technology licensing. Two of the 
Company's products, Director and FreeHand, continue to provide a majority of 
the Company's revenues; however, new Web products such as Flash, Dreamweaver 
and Fireworks, and Web-related revenues, accounted for 32% of revenue in the 
first quarter of fiscal 1999. In addition, revenue deferred in the first 
quarter arising from the sale and licensing of certain intellectual property 
will be recognized over the appropriate contract and support obligation 
periods, which range from 1 year to 3 years.

The Company's first quarter fiscal 1999 revenues of $32.3 million increased 
18% from revenues of $27.3 million during the same quarter in fiscal 1998. 
The increase is principally due to revenue streams from new Web-related 
products and services, lower returns during the quarter and lower reserves 
for anticipated future product returns, offset by the timing impact of 
version releases of core products year over year. During the first quarter 
of fiscal year 1999, the Company shipped new versions of Flash and 
Dreamweaver, an upgrade to Director, and Fireworks, a new Web graphics 
production tool. During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, Macintosh-related 
revenues increased 11% over the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and 14% over the 
fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, primarily as a result of sales of new Web 
products.

North American revenues increased $1.9 million to $18.3 million in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1999 from $16.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 
1998, and were 57% of total revenues, versus 60% in the first quarter of 
fiscal 1998.  International revenues increased $3.1 million to $14.0 million 
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $10.9 million in the first quarter 
of fiscal 1998, and increased to 43% from 40% of total revenues. Revenues by 
geographic region vary quarter to quarter depending on product cycles and the 
timing of the release of localized versions of products.  The table below 
summarizes revenue by geography:

     Total revenue                $ 32.3      $ 27.3
</TABLE>

GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was 90% 
compared to 83% for the same period in fiscal 1998. The improvement is 
primarily due to the results of cost control programs implemented over the 
past year, including a move to just-in-time manufacturing which resulted in 
lower inventory obsolescence and lower inventory levels, and improved 
inventory review procedures.

<PAGE>
                                       
SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage 
of revenues by 8%, from 52% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to 44% in the 
first quarter of fiscal 1999 but remained constant in absolute dollars at 
$14.3 million. Expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues due to higher 
sales levels. Increases in advertising and compensation-related expenses 
during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were offset by reductions in 
tradeshow and other marketing expenses, thereby keeping overall sales and 
marketing expenses essentially flat with the first quarter of the prior year. 
Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase over the next two years 
beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 as a result of the 
amortization of capitalized costs arising from licensing and distribution 
agreements entered into during the first quarter.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses decreased $0.2 
million from $8.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $8.5 million 
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, and decreased as a percentage of 
revenues from 32% to 26%.  Expenses decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 
year 1999 primarily due to reduced costs for facilities, offset by increases 
in headcount-related costs and technology infrastructure. Expenses decreased 
as a percentage of revenues due to higher sales levels.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses increased by 
$0.7 million, from $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $3.4 
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Expenses increased in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1999 primarily due to legal fees associated with the class 
action law suits (described below) and increases in headcount and costs 
associated with building the infrastructure required to support the growth of 
the Company.  General and administrative costs remained a constant 10% of 
revenues for the first quarter of both fiscal 1999 and 1998.

OTHER INCOME.  Other income increased by $0.2 million from $1.1 million for 
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $1.3 million for the first quarter of 
fiscal 1999.  The increase was primarily due to higher interest income, which 
resulted from an increase in the average short-term investment balance on 
hand during the period.

PROVISION/BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Company's provision for income taxes 
for the first three months of fiscal 1999 was $1.3 million as compared with a 
benefit of $0.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 1998. The 
effective tax rate for the quarterly provision was 31% during the first 
quarter of the fiscal years 1999 and 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investments of $94.2 million. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, cash 
provided by operating activities of $4.9 million was primarily attributable 
to net income for the period and an increase in unearned revenue associated 
with licensing agreements, 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 $10.2 million related primarily 
to the purchase of $9.3 million in available-for-sale short-term investments. 
Cash provided by financing activities of $4.1 million was attributable to 
proceeds received from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock 
options.  Collectively, the above activity resulted in a net decrease of $1.1 
million from the March 31, 1998 balances of cash and cash equivalents. 
Working capital increased by $8.3 million from the March 31, 1998 balance of 
$81.8 million, to $90.0 million at June 30, 1998.  The Company anticipates 
future capital expenditures of approximately $12.0 million for the remainder 
of 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 June 30, 1998, the Company had no borrowings 
outstanding. 
                                       

                                      9
<PAGE>
                                       

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 March 31, 1999. 

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE 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, 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.

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 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 two products: Director and FreeHand. 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 quarter 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 51% of product revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, 
compared to 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 quarter of fiscal 1999, the 
Company derived approximately 43% 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 worldwide 
economic events beyond the control of the Company, such as those presently 
occurring in Asia. Approximately 16% of revenues in the first quarter of 
fiscal 1999 and 20% of revenues in fiscal 1998 were derived from the Asia 
Pacific region, including Japan. During fiscal 1998, the Company experienced 
a decline in revenue growth rates in Asia Pacific in part due to the economic 
crises that occurred throughout this region.  There can be no assurances that 
these economies 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.

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 June 30, 1998, the notional 
principal of forward contracts outstanding amounted to $6.1 million. These 
contracts are of a short-term duration and the fair value of such contracts 
equals the market value as of June 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 revenue 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 in 
existing computer systems as the year 2000 approaches. 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 have a material impact on the Company's ability to conduct its business.

Although the Company does not believe there are any material operational 
issues or costs associated with preparing its internal systems for the year 
2000, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience serious 
unanticipated negative consequences and/or material costs caused by 
undetected errors or defects in the technology used in its internal systems. 
The Company is assessing the impact to its operations of addressing the Year 
2000 issues.

The Company believes that its software will handle Year 2000 compliance 
correctly assuming that the operating systems upon which they run have been 
updated to comply. Macromedia's software products obtain date information, 
such as creation dates and modification dates, directly from the computer's 
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.  The Court sustained in part and 
overruled in part the demurrers 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.  Discovery is now proceeding.  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.

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. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal 
of the dismissal. Discovery has been stayed by operation of statute and local 
rule.

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 
vigorously defend the actions.
