              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.   Nature of Operations

     Macromedia's  Software  business  develops  software  that creates Web site
layout,  graphics  and rich  media  content  for  Internet  users  and  develops
solutions for analyzing Web traffic and personalizing  Web sites.  Additionally,
the Company's consumer business, shockwave.com, Inc. (shockwave.com), designs,
develops  and  markets   aggregated   content  to  provide  and  expand   online
entertainment  on the Web.  Macromedia  sells its products  through a network of
distributors,  value-added resellers (VAR's), its own sales force and Web site,
and to original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) in North America,  Europe, Asia
Pacific  and Latin  America.  In  addition,  Macromedia  derives  revenues  from
advertising  on its Web sites,  and from  software  maintenance  and  technology
licensing  agreements.  shockwave.com  derives  revenues  from  advertising  and
sponsorship  on  its  Web  site.  Macromedia,  Inc.  and  its  subsidiaries  are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company" or Macromedia.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

     The condensed  consolidated  financial statements at September 30, 2000 and
March 31,  2000 and for the three and six months  ended  September  30, 2000 and
1999 are  unaudited  and  reflect  all  adjustments  (consisting  only of normal
recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of Macromedia's  financial  position and operating  results for the
interim periods.

     In fiscal 2000,  Macromedia  consummated mergers with Andromedia,  Inc. and
ESI Software, Inc., which have been accounted for using the pooling of interests
method,  and accordingly,  the consolidated  financial  statements for the prior
periods presented and the accompanying notes have been restated.

     These  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with the  instructions for Form 10-Q and,  therefore,  do not include
all information and notes normally provided in annual financial statements. As a
result,  these condensed  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 Macromedia's annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.  The results of  operations  for the three
and six months ended  September 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative of the
results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 or any other future periods.

3.   Acquisitions

     On July  10,  2000,  the  Company  acquired  Middlesoft,  Inc.  a  software
development  company,  for  approximately  $9.0  million.  The  acquisition  was
accounted for under the purchase  method.  The purchase price of the transaction
was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities  based on their fair values
as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid over the
net assets acquired totaled $8.4 million, of which, $3.1 million was expensed in
the current  quarter as acquired  in-process  research and  development and $5.3
million has been recorded as goodwill and other intangible assets which is being
amortized on a straight-line  basis over three years.  The amounts  allocated to
in-process  research and development expense were determined through established
valuation  techniqures  in the  high-technology  industry and were expensed upon
acquisition  because  technological  feasibility had not been established and no
future  alternative  uses existed.  Research and development  costs to bring the
products  from the  acquired  companies  to  technological  feasibility  are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's future results of operations
or financial condition.

4.   Investments

     The Company holds several strategic equity  investments in other companies.
These  investments are included in the other long-term  assets  component of the
condensed  consolidated  balance sheets. The cost method is used to record these
investments,  as the Company holds less than 20% of the voting rights of each of
these  investees  and does not have the ability to  significantly  influence the
investees.  The Company  determines  the fair value of the  investment  based on
current  market price,  or if the investment is not publicly  traded,  considers
among other factors,  pricing of current  financing  rounds. As of September 30,
2000, the investment costs approximate their fair values.

5.   Earnings Per Share

     The Company  computes  earnings per share in accordance  with  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  128,  Earnings Per Share.  Under the
provisions  of SFAS 128,  basic net income per share is computed by dividing net
income applicable to common  stockholders for the period by the weighted average
number of common shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted net income per
share is computed by dividing net income  applicable to common  stockholders for
the period by the  weighted  average  number of common  shares  and  potentially
dilutive   securities   outstanding  during  the  period,  to  the  extent  such
potentially  dilutive securities are dilutive.  Potentially  dilutive securities
consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
and warrants, restricted stock and upon conversion of Series A and B convertible
preferred stock.

     The  following  table sets forth the  reconciliations  of the numerator and
denominator  used in the  computation  of basic and diluted net income per share
(in thousands, except per share data):

6.   Comprehensive Income

     SFAS  No.  130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,  which  establishes  the
standards for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components, requires
unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities to be
included in other  comprehensive  income.  The only  component of the  Company's
Other  Comprehensive  Income is  unrealized  gains on  securities  classified as
available-for-sale.   The  following   table  sets  forth  the   calculation  of
comprehensive income, net of tax (in thousands):

7.   Minority Interest

     At September  30, 2000 the Company had an  approximate  ownership of 57% in
shockwave.com.   Minority   interest   represents   the   preferred  and  common
stockholders' proportionate share of the equity of shockwave.com. The results of
our  majority   ownership  in   shockwave.com   are  included  in   Macromedia's
consolidated financial statements. The non-controlling interest of $16.2 million
is reflected in Minority  interest in the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets and the
loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in shockwave.com for the three
and six months  ended  September  30, 2000 was $4.7  million  and $8.6  million.
Should the  Company's  ownership  of  shockwave.com  fall  below 50%,  potential
deconsolidation  may occur,  at which time the  Company  would  account  for its
proportionate ownership share of shockwave.com's results of operations using the
equity method of accounting.

8.   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
due to the utilization of research and experimentation tax credits,  and foreign
operating results,  which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.
The effective rate used for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 on
operations was 28% and 26%, respectively.

9.   Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

     Macromedia  has two operating  segments:  Software and  shockwave.com.  The
Software  segment develops  software that creates Web site layout,  graphics and
rich media content for Internet  users and develops  solutions for analyzing Web
traffic and personalizing Web sites. shockwave.com designs, develops and markets
aggregated  content to provide  online  entertainment  on the Web.  The  Company
evaluates  operating  segment  performance  based  on  net  revenues  and  total
operating expenses of the segment.  The operating segments'  accounting policies
are the  same as  those  described  in the  summary  of  significant  accounting
policies in the  Company's  annual  report on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 2000. The Company had intersegment transactions of $840,000 and $1.8 million
for the three and six months  ended  September  30,  2000,  respectively,  which
represent royalty revenues paid by shockwave.com.  These revenues are eliminated
in the Company's  consolidation  process.  The Company did not have any material
intersegment  transactions for the three or six months ended September 30, 1999.
At September 30, 1999 the Company did not allocate assets to  shockwave.com  and
currently  considers  it  impracticable  to do so.  Information  about  reported
segment income or loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 is as follows (in thousands):

                        MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

     In addition to historical  information,  this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
contains  forward-looking  statements  such as statements  of our  expectations,
plans,  objectives and beliefs. These forward-looking  statements are subject to
material risks and  uncertainties  discussed in this Form 10-Q,  including those
set forth under Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations.  As a
result,  our actual results could differ  materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Overview

     Macromedia  has two operating  segments:  Software and  shockwave.com.  The
Software segment develops software and server  technologies that create Web site
layout,  graphics  and rich  media  content  for  Internet  users  and  develops
solutions for analyzing Web traffic and personalizing  Web sites.  shockwave.com
designs, develops and markets aggregated content to provide online entertainment
on the Web. We evaluate operating segment  performance based on net revenues and
total  operating  expenses of the segment.  The operating  segments'  accounting
policies are the same as those  described in the summary of accounting  policies
in the annual  report on Form 10-K for the year ended  March 31,  2000.  For the
three months ended September 30, 2000, the Software  business'  operating income
before  acquisition  related charges and certain non-cash  charges  approximates
$20.3 million,  or 21% of revenues,  whereas  shockwave.com's  operating  losses
approximates $8.6 million or 196% of revenues.

     The following  table sets forth certain  financial  data as a percentage of
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

     Revenues.   We  sell  our  products  through  a  network  of  distributors,
value-added  resellers  (VAR's),  our own  sales  force  and Web  site,  and to
original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific
and  Latin  America.  In  addition,  we derive  revenues  from  advertising  and
sponsorships  on our Web sites,  and from software  maintenance  and  technology
licensing agreements.

     Consolidated  revenues  have  increased  $43.1 million or 73% for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended September 30,
1999. Revenues generated by the Software segment have grown by $40.2 million, to
$98.0 million for the current  quarter from $57.8 million in the second  quarter
of fiscal year 2000. The majority of the increase is attributable to an increase
in sales of the Flash, Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver


                                       11
<PAGE>

UltraDev and Fireworks products.  Included in our consolidated revenue is
$4.4  million and $1.5  million of  shockwave.com  revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The increase in shockwave.com
revenues is due to an increase in advertising and sponsorship  revenue resulting
from a higher  volume of  advertising  traffic and new revenue  streams,  mainly
sponsorship  revenues.  For the six months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
September  30,  1999,  consolidated  revenues  increased  $86.6  million  or 78%
primarily  due to increased in sales from the  Dreamweaver,  Flash,  Dreamweaver
UltraDev and Fireworks products.

     North American  revenues have  increased  $25.1 million to $62.0 million in
the second  quarter of fiscal year 2001 from $36.9 million in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2000.  International  revenues  increased  $18.0 million to $40.4
million when comparing the same time periods.  (See Risk Factors That May Affect
Future Results of Operations - Risks of International  Operations for additional
information.) The following table summarizes  revenue by geography (in millions,
except percentages):

     Gross profit.  Gross profit on a  consolidated  basis was $90.0 million for
the second  quarter of fiscal year 2001,  up 69% from the prior year,  primarily
due to increased revenues from our Software segment Gross profit as a percentage
of revenue for the Software  segment for the three months  ended  September  30,
2000 declined  slightly to 88% compared to a gross profit  percentage of 90% for
the three months ended  September 30, 1999.  The slight decline is primarily due
to increased  consulting  and training  costs.  Gross profit as a percentage  of
revenues for shockwave.com was 90% for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to 82% for the same three  months in fiscal year 2000.  The increase in
the  shockwave.com  gross profit is primarily due to a shift in distribution for
our advertising costs from indirect sales in fiscal year 2000 to direct sales by
our in-house  sales force for the current  fiscal year.  When  comparing the six
months  ended  September  30, 2000 to  September  30,  1999,  gross  profit on a
consolidated basis increased $75.8 million or 77% to $174.7 million,  consistent
with revenue growth.

     Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing  expenses on a consolidated basis
have increased by $13.6 million to $39.2 million.  The Software  segment's sales
and  marketing  expenses  increased  by  $12.2  million  to  $35.3  million  and
shockwave.com's  increased by $1.4 million to $3.9 million from the three months
ended  September 30, 1999.  The increase from the second  quarter of fiscal year
2000 for the Software  segment is primarily due to expenses related to headcount
growth,  facilities  charges  due to the need for  increased  physical  space to
accommodate the headcount growth,  information technology  infrastructure costs,
and business taxes based on increased headcount. The increase in shockwave.com's
sales and  marketing  expenses  is a result of the Direct  Mail  e-mail  program
initiated in fiscal year 2001,  increased  headcount  and growth of  information
technology  infrastructure  costs.  For the six months ended September 30, 2000,
consolidated  sales and  marketing  expenses  increased  $29.2  million to $78.1
million  primarily due to costs  associated with headcount  growth and increased
facilities and information technology infrastructure costs.

     Research  and   development.   Research  and  development   expenses  on  a
consolidated basis have increased $14.0 million from $15.3 million in the second
quarter of fiscal  year 2000 to $29.4  million  in the second  quarter of fiscal
year 2001.  Research and  development  expenses  for the  Software  segment have
increased $10.0 million during this time frame to $22.5 million. The increase is
attributable   to   headcount   growth,    increased   information    technology
infrastructure  costs,  increases  in  facilities  charges  to  accommodate  the
headcount  growth,  and  license  fees  associated  with  purchased  technology.
Similarly,  shockwave.com's  research and development expenses have increased to
$6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000,  representing a $4.1
million  increase  from  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2000.   Research  and
development  expenses for the  shockwave.com  segment have increased in absolute
dollars  largely  due  to  headcount  growth  and  the  resulting  increases  in
compensation and benefits and information  technology  infrastructure  costs, as
well as increased  costs for the  development  of  entertainment  content.  On a


                                       12
<PAGE>

consolidated  basis,  research and  development  expenses have  increased  $26.0
million to $54.3 million  compared to the six months ended September 30, 2000 to
the six months ended September 30, 1999.

     General  and  administrative.  General  and  administrative  expenses  on a
consolidated basis have increased in absolute dollars by $4.5 million, from $5.3
million  for the second  quarter of fiscal  2000 to $9.8  million for the second
quarter  of fiscal  year  2001.  General  and  administrative  expenses  for the
Software  segment have increased $2.7 million to $8.0 million when comparing the
quarter ended  September 30, 2000 to the quarter ended  September 30, 1999.  The
increase is due primarily to headcount growth,  increased charges for facilities
and information  technology and increased legal charges.  shockwave.com incurred
$1.8  million in general and  administrative  expenses in the second  quarter of
fiscal year 2001 resulting from the segment performing  administrative functions
that it did not perform in fiscal year 2000. Comparing  consolidated results for
the six months ended  September  30, 2000 to the same time frame for fiscal year
2000,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  $7.6  million to $18.7
million.

     Acquisition-related  expenses.  During the three months ended September 30,
2000  we  purchased  all  of the  outstanding  stock  of  Middlesoft,  Inc.  for
approximately  $9.0 million.  Of this amount,  $3.1 million was determined to be
in-process  research and development  for certain  intellectual  property.  This
intellectual  property is being  utilized in the  research  and  development  of
specific  products and we have  determined that the technology does not have any
alternative  future uses. As a result,  the amount paid for the  technology  was
expensed as  acquisition-related  expenses in the quarter  ended  September  30,
2000. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, we recorded $5.3 million in
acquisition  related  expenses,  primarily  related  to  our  fiscal  year  2000
acquisitions  of technology  rights and the  acquisition  of ESI Software,  Inc.
Comparing  the six months  ended  September  30,  2000 to  September  30,  1999,
acquisition-related  expenses decreased by $486,000 to $4.8 million.

     Non-cash  compensation.  We recorded non-cash  compensation charges of $2.2
million for the three months ended  September 30, 2000, a $1.8 million  increase
from the same period in the prior year.  The  increase is  primarily  due to the
issuance  of  shockwave.com  warrants  and  the  continued  amortization  of the
deferred compensation  associated with previously granted shockwave.com options.
shockwave.com issued options to employees that had, for accounting purposes,  an
exercise  price less than the fair value of the  underlying  common stock at the
date of grant.  Additionally,  shockwave.com  issued warrants in connection with
certain content development agreements entered into with non-employees.  We will
continue  to  incur  expenses  associated  with  the  amortization  of  deferred
compensation from the granting of options.

     Amortization of intangibles.  Amortization of intangible  assets  increased
$356,000 and $415,000 when  comparing  the three and six months ended  September
30, 2000 to the same period in 1999.  Amortization of intangible assets consists
primarily   of  goodwill  and  other   intangibles   resulting   from   purchase
transactions, as well as trademarks.

     Other  income.  Other income on a  consolidated  basis has  increased  $2.9
million to $3.9 million when comparing the second quarter of fiscal year 2001 to
the same period in fiscal year 2000. Other income has increased primarily due to
interest and investment  income  recorded in fiscal year 2001.  Other income for
both periods include investment gains and interest income and gains or losses on
foreign exchange contracts.

     Provision for income  taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the second
quarter of fiscal year 2001  increased  $2.0 million when compared to the second
fiscal  quarter of 2000.  The effective  tax rate on operations  for the current
quarter's  provision  is 28%.  The  decrease in the  effective  tax rate for the
current quarter reflects the impact of the ESI, Software Inc. acquisition on the
tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000, utilization of research and
experimentation  tax credits and foreign  operating  results  that were taxed at
rates lower than the U.S.  statutory  rate for the second quarter of fiscal year
2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At  September  30,  2000,  we had cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term
investments of $197.0 million. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, cash
provided by operating activities of $20.9 million was primarily  attributable to
net income.  This was partially offset by a minority  interest in shockwave.com,
and an increase in working capital.  Cash used in investing  activities of $91.4
million was used primarily for the net increase in our  short-term  investments,
infrastructure  growth,  for the  acquisition of  Middlesoft,  Inc., and for the
issuance of related party loans


                                       13
<PAGE>

     for the exercise of shockwave.com stock options. Cash provided by financing
activities  of $43.9  million is  primarily  from the  exercise of common  stock
options and issuance of shockwave.com preferred stock.  Collectively,  the above
activity  contributed to a net increase of $10.0 million from the March 31, 2000
cash, cash  equivalents  and short-term  investments  balances.  Working capital
increased by $26.0 million from the March 31, 2000 balance of $182.2 million, to
$208.1 million at September 30, 2000. During the first six months of fiscal year
2001,  we made  investments  in property  and  equipment  of $33.4  million.  We
anticipate  future capital  expenditures of approximately  $25.0 million for the
remainder of fiscal year 2001.

     We have non-current  cash of approximately  $4.5 million that is restricted
as to its use. The  restrictions on these funds concern  security  deposits on a
lease of real  property.  These funds  cannot be  withdrawn  without the written
consent of the  landlord or until such time that the amount of security  deposit
is reduced pursuant to the terms of the lease.

     We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents and  investments,  together
with cash  generated from  operations,  will be sufficient to meet our operating
requirements through at least September 30, 2001.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     SFAS 133. In June 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB)
issued  SFAS  No.  133,  Accounting  for  Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities.   SFAS  133  establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for
derivative financial  instruments and hedging activities and requires Macromedia
to recognize  all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities  on the balance
sheet and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in
the fair value of these  instruments would be accounted for depending on the use
of the  derivative  and whether it is  designated  and qualifies as an effective
hedge under hedge accounting rules. In June 1999 the FASB issued SFAS 137, which
defers the  implementation  of SFAS 133 and is  effective  for all  quarters  of
fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS
138,   which   amends  SFAS  133  with  regards  to  specific   hedging   risks,
foreign-currency-denominated    assets   and   liabilities,   and   intercompany
derivatives.  Macromedia has not completed an assessment of the impact,  if any,
of SFAS 133 on the  consolidated  results of operations and financial  position,
but does not expect the  adoption  of SFAS 133 to have a material  effect on its
consolidated financial statements.

     SAB 101. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (SEC)
issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101),  "Revenue  Recognition in
Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying
generally  accepted  accounting  principles to revenue  recognition in financial
statements.  In June 2000,  the SEC issued SAB No.  101B to defer the  effective
date of  implementation  of SAB No. 101 until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.
Macromedia  does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on
its financial position or results of operations.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Except for the historical  information  contained in this Quarterly Report,
the matters discussed herein are  forward-looking  statements that involve risks
and uncertainties,  including those detailed below, and from time to time in our
other  reports filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  The actual
results  that  we  achieve  may  differ  materially  from  any   forward-looking
statements due to such risks and uncertainties.

     Intense  Competition -- The markets for our products are highly competitive
and  characterized by pressure to reduce prices,  incorporate new features,  and
accelerate the release of new product versions and enhanced  services.  A number
of companies  currently  offer  products and services  that compete  directly or
indirectly  with  one or more of our  products.  With  respect  to our  Software
business,   competitors  include,  among  others,  Adobe  Systems,  Inc.,  Corel
Corporation,  Accrue Software, Inc. and Net Perceptions, Inc. As we compete with
larger  competitors  such as Adobe across a broader  range of product  lines and
different platforms,  we may face increasing competition from such companies. In
addition,  shockwave.com  competes  with a number of other  Internet  community,
gaming and entertainment sites, including Disney.com,  Gamesville.com,  AOL.com,
and Yahoo.com. Many of these businesses are much larger than shockwave.com,  and
have more resources  devoted to these business  efforts.  It is anticipated that
shockwave.com  will  face  competition  from  these and other Web sites for both
consumers  and for  advertising  and other future  revenue  sources on which the
future success of the shockwave.com is dependent.

     Rapidly Changing  Technology -- The developing digital media,  Internet and
online services markets, and the personal computer industry are characterized by
rapidly  changing  technology,  resulting in short product life cycles and rapid
price declines. We must continuously update our existing products,  services and
content to keep them current with changing  technology  and consumer  tastes and
must  develop  new  products,  services  and  content to take  advantage  of new
technologies and consumer  preferences  that could render our existing  products
obsolete.  Our future  prospects are highly dependent on our ability to increase
functionality  of  existing  products  and  services  in a timely  manner and to
develop new  products and services  that  address new  technologies  and achieve
market acceptance. New products and enhancements must keep pace with competitive
offerings,  adapt to new platforms and emerging industry standards,  and provide
additional  functionality.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful
in these efforts.

     The success of our  Software and  shockwave.com  businesses  is  especially
dependent  upon the  existence  and future growth of the Internet as a business,
entertainment and communications  platform.  Many critical issues concerning the
commercial  use of the Internet , such as security,  remain  unresolved  and may
affect the growth of Internet use, together with the software standards employed
in such markets.  A decline in the growth of the Internet or any inability by us
to adapt to changes in the Internet or the technology  used for operation of the
Internet could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

     Fluctuations  of  Operating  Results;  Product  Introduction  Delays -- Our
quarterly  operating results may vary  significantly  depending on the timing of
new product introductions and enhancements. A substantial portion of our revenue
is derived from the  introduction  of new products or  enhancements  to existing
products.  We have in the past  experienced  delays  in the  development  of new
products and enhancement of existing products,  and such delays may occur in the
future.  In addition,  we have limited  experience  with the eBusiness  software
products market. If we are unable, due to resource  constraints or technological
or other reasons,  to develop and introduce  products in a timely  manner,  this
inability could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.  If
we do not ship new  versions of our  products as planned,  or if new products do
not receive  market  acceptance,  our results of operations  could be materially
adversely affected.

     Our results of  operations  also may vary  significantly  depending  on the
impact of any of the following:  the timing of product and service introductions
by competitors, changes in pricing, execution and volume of technology licensing
agreements,  the volume and timing of orders  received  during the  quarter  for
software  products,  expenses  related to the  expansion of  shockwave.com,  and
finally,  any  acquisitions  of other  companies  or  technologies.  Our  future
operating  results  may  fluctuate  as a result  of  these  and  other  factors,
including our ability to continue to develop or acquire innovative  products and
services, our product,  service, and customer mix, and the level of competition.
Our results of operations may also be affected by seasonal trends. A significant
portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed, and planned  expenditures
are based primarily on sales forecasts. As a result, if revenues do not meet our
forecasts,  operating results may be materially adversely affected. There can be
no  assurance  that sales of our  existing  products  will  either  continue  at
historical  rates or increase,  or that new products  introduced by us,  whether
developed internally or acquired, will achieve market acceptance. Our historical
rates of growth should not be taken as being indicative of growth rates that can
be expected in the future.

     Unproven  Business Model -- The  shockwave.com  business model depends upon
the  ability to  leverage  shockwave.com's  existing  and future Web traffic and
consumer audience to grow revenues and in the future,  generate multiple revenue
streams. The potential  profitability of this business model is unproven, and to
be  successful,  we must,  among other things,  develop and market  content that
achieves broad market acceptance by the user community, Internet advertisers and
commerce vendors. There can be no assurance that the shockwave.com business will
be  able  to  effectively  implement  this  business  model,  and  even  if  the
implementation is successful,  there can be no assurance that the business model
will  prove to be able to  generate  and  sustain  revenue  growth  or  generate
significant  profits,  if any.  Furthermore,  for  the  foreseeable  future,  we
anticipate   that  the   shockwave.com   business   will   require   significant
expenditures,  particularly  related to sales and marketing and brand promotion,
and that such  expenditures may or may not result in revenue growth. In addition
to the foregoing,  the shockwave.com  business will depend in part on success in
building strategic alliances with other Internet and media companies in order to
be able to grow the user base and to provide  compelling  content to attract and
maintain the user base.  There can be no assurances  that such  alliances can be
created or maintained over an extended period of time.

     Dependence  on  Distributors  -- A  substantial  majority of our revenue is
derived from the sale of our software products through a variety of distribution
channels, including traditional software distributors, mail order,

                                       15
<PAGE>

     educational  distributors,  VARs, OEMs, hardware and software  superstores,
retail  dealers,  and our direct  sales  force and  Website.  Domestically,  our
products are sold primarily through distributors, VARs, and OEMs. In particular,
one  distributor  accounted  for 28% and 30% of  revenues  for the three  months
ending  September  30,  2000 and 1999.  In  addition,  we believe  that  certain
distributors  are reducing their  inventory in the channel and returning  unsold
products to better  manage  their  inventories.  Distributors  are  increasingly
seeking to return unsold product,  particularly when a new version or upgrade of
a product has  superseded  such  products.  If our  distributors  seek to return
increasing  amounts of  products,  such  returns  could have a material  adverse
effect on our revenues and results of operations.  The loss of, or a significant
reduction  in sales  volume  to, a  significant  reseller  could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations.

     Risks of  International  Operations -- For the three months ended September
30, 2000 we derived  approximately 39% of our revenues from international sales.
For the six months ended September 30, 2000, we derived approximately 41% of our
revenues  from  international  sales.  We expect that  international  sales will
continue  to  represent  a  significant  percentage  of our  revenues.  We  rely
primarily  on  distributors  for  sales  of our  software  products  in  foreign
countries  and,  accordingly,  are  dependent  on their  ability to promote  and
support our software 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 our control.
Additionally,  we are uncertain whether the recent weaknesses experienced in the
economies  in Japan,  Asia  Pacific,  and Latin  America  will  continue  in the
foreseeable  future due to possible currency  devaluation and liquidity problems
in these regions.

     We enter  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, 2000,  the notional
principal of forward contracts outstanding amounted to $42.4 million.  There can
be no  assurance  that such  contracts  will  adequately  hedge our  exposure to
currency fluctuations.

     Euro Currency -- On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries
of the  European  Union  adopted  the  Euro as the  common  legal  currency  and
established  fixed  rates  of  conversion   between  their  existing   sovereign
currencies and the Euro. The Euro trades on currency  exchanges and is available
for non-cash  transactions.  A three-year  transition  period is underway during
which  transactions  can be  made  in the  existing  sovereign  currencies.  The
conversion to the Euro has alleviated  currency exchange risk between the member
counties.

     There can be no assurance  that all issues  related to the Euro  conversion
have been  identified,  and we may be at risk if any of our principal  suppliers
are unable to deal with the impact of the Euro conversion.  To date, none of our
international suppliers have expressed an intention to invoice in Euros.

     Risk  Associated  with  Acquisitions  -- We have  grown in part  because of
business  combinations with other companies and we may make further acquisitions
in the future.  Acquisitions involve significant risks including difficulties in
the assimilation of the operations, services, technologies and corporate culture
of the  acquired  companies,  diversion  of  management's  attention  from other
business concerns, overvaluation of the acquired companies and the acceptance of
the acquired  companies'  products and services by our  customers.  In addition,
future acquisitions would likely result in the incurrence of dilution,  if stock
is issued,  or debt and contingent  liabilities  and an increase in amortization
expenses  related to goodwill and other  intangible  assets,  which could have a
material  adverse effect on our financial  condition,  results of operations and
liquidity.  For all  these  reasons,  any  future  acquisitions  or  failure  to
effectively  integrate  acquired  companies  could result in a material  adverse
effect on our results of operations.

     Management  of  Growth  -- Both our  Software  business  and  shockwave.com
business have experienced and may continue to experience rapid growth, which has
placed,  and could  continue to place, a significant  strain on our  managerial,
financial and operational resources.  Our workforce has grown more than 70% over
the past year.  We expect  that the number of our  employees  will  continue  to
increase  for the  foreseeable  future.  We  anticipate  that  we  will  need to
implement  a variety of new and  upgraded  operational  and  financial  systems,
procedures and controls, including the ongoing improvement of our accounting and
other internal management systems. We also will need to

                                       16
<PAGE>

     continue to expand, train, manage,  retain and motivate our workforce.  All
of these endeavors will require substantial management effort and resources.  In
the future,  we  anticipate  that we will need to continue the  expansion of our
facilities or relocate  some or all of our employees or operations  from time to
time to  support  our  growth.  These  relocations  could  result  in  temporary
disruptions  of our  operations  or a diversion of  management's  attention  and
resources.  If we are unable to effectively  manage  expanding  operations,  our
business,  financial condition and results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected.

     Volatility  of Stock -- Our future  earnings and stock price may be subject
to  significant  volatility.  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  our  common  stock  in  any  given  period.
Additionally,  we 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 our common stock.  Finally,  we participate in a highly dynamic
industry.  In addition to factors specific to us, changes in analysts'  earnings
estimates   for  us  or  our  industry  and  factors   affecting  the  corporate
environment,  our  industry,  or the  securities  markets in general  will often
result in significant volatility of our common stock price.

     Intellectual  Property  Rights  -- We rely  on a  combination  of  patents,
copyrights,  trade  secrets,  and  trademark  laws,  as  well  as  employee  and
third-party  nondisclosure  agreements,  to protect  our  intellectual  property
rights and products.  Policing unauthorized use of products and fully protecting
our proprietary rights are difficult,  and we cannot guarantee that the steps we
have taken to protect our  proprietary  rights will be  adequate.  In  addition,
effective  copyright,  trademark,  trade secret and patent protection may not be
available in every country in which our products are distributed.

     Furthermore,  we are currently, and may in the future, be involved in legal
disputes relating to the validity or alleged  infringement of our, or of a third
party's,  intellectual  property  rights.  Intellectual  property  litigation is
typically  extremely costly and can be disruptive to our business  operations by
diverting  the  attention  and  energies  of our  management  and key  technical
personnel.  In addition,  any adverse  decisions could subject us to significant
liabilities,   require  us  to  seek  licenses  from  others,  prevent  us  from
manufacturing or licensing certain of our products,  or cause severe disruptions
to our  operations  or the markets in which we  compete,  any one of which could
dramatically impact our business and results of operations.

     Macromedia Ventures Investments -- Through Macromedia Ventures, we invest a
substantial  amount of capital  and time on  finding,  funding,  and  helping to
develop certain privately held companies, many of which can be considered in the
start-up or development  stages.  These  investments are inherently risky as the
market  for the  technologies  or  products  they  have  under  development  are
typically in the early  stages and may never  materialize.  Therefore,  we could
lose our entire investment,  or a substantial portion thereof, in one or more of
these companies.

     Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles  -  We  prepare  our  financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles (GAAP).
GAAP are subject to interpretation by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants,  the Securities and Exchange Commission,  and various bodies formed
to  interpret  and create  appropriate  accounting  policies.  A change in these
policies can have a significant  effect on our reported results,  and may affect
the reporting of transactions completed prior to the announcement of a change.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Please  refer to our market risk  disclosures  set forth in our 2000 Annual
Report filed on Form 10-K for a more  detailed  discussion of  quantitative  and
qualitative  disclosures  about  market risk.  Our market risk  exposure has not
changed  significantly  since the time we included the  disclosures  in our 2000
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Matters

     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

                                       17
<PAGE>

     or misleading (or omitted  material facts  necessary to make any statements
made not false or  misleading)  regarding  the Company's  financial  results and
prospects.  Four similar  complaints  by persons  seeking to represent  the same
class of  purchasers  subsequently  have been  filed in San  Francisco  Superior
Court, and have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes with Rosen.  Defendants
filed  demurrers  to the  complaint  and other  motions,  which  were  argued on
December 9, 1997 and January 5, 1998.  Before the demurrers could be heard,  one
defendant,  Richard Wood,  died in an automobile  accident.  In March 1998,  the
Court  sustained the demurrers as to claims against Susan Bird and overruled the
demurrers as to Macromedia, John Colligan, James Von Ehr, II, and Kevin Crowder.
In May 1999, the Court granted  plaintiffs'  motion for certification of a class
of all persons who purchased Macromedia common stock from April 18, 1996 through
January 9, 1997. Trial has been set for September 10, 2001.

     The consolidated complaint seeks damages in unspecified amounts, as well as
other forms of relief.  We believe the  complaint is without merit and intend to
vigorously defend the action.

     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. A consolidated  complaint was filed in February 1998. Defendants
moved to dismiss  that  complaint on the grounds  that  plaintiffs'  claims were
barred by the applicable statute of limitations.  In May 1998, the United States
District  Court for the  Northern  District of  California  granted  defendants'
motion to dismiss with prejudice,  and entered  judgment in favor of defendants.
Plaintiffs  have  appealed to the United  States  Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit,  which  reversed  on April  21,  2000 and  remanded  the  action to the
District  Court for further  proceedings.  On July 7, 2000,  the District  Court
granted  the  plaintiff's  motion to  voluntarily  dismiss  the  action  without
prejudice.

     On August 10, 2000, a complaint entitled Adobe Systems, Inc. v. Macromedia,
Inc. (Case No. 00-743-JJF) was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware and on  September  18,  2000,  Adobe filed a first  amended
complaint in the same action.  In the first  amended  complaint,  Adobe  alleges
infringement of U.S. Patent No.  5,546,528 by tabbed palette features of certain
Macromedia  products  and  infringement  of U.S.  Patent No.  6,084,597 by image
rendering features of Macromedia  Dreamweaver and Macromedia Flash products.  On
September 27, 2000,  Macromedia  answered the first amended complaint by denying
the allegations and filing counterclaims against Adobe for infringement of three
Macromedia  patents.  In particular,  Macromedia  alleges  infringement  of U.S.
Patent No. 5,467,443 by changing  blended elements and automatic  re-blending of
elements features of Adobe Illustrator  product and U.S. Patents Nos.  5,151,998
and 5,204,969 by visually  displaying  and editing sound  waveforms  features of
Adobe Premiere product.  On October 17, 2000, Adobe filed its answer denying the
allegations in Macromedia's counterclaims.  Each party is seeking to enforce its
patents  and to  receive  monetary  damages  for  infringement  of its  patents.
Further, each party is seeking a court declaration that it is not infringing the
other party's patents and an award of attorneys fees.
