                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Maplnfo Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedule of MapInfo Corporation and Subsidiaries listed in Item
14(a) of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MapInfo
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included therein.

                     MAPINFO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Nature of Operations
 
  The Company designs, develops, markets, licenses and supports mapping
software products, application development tools, and data products, together
with a range of consulting, training and technical support services. These
products are sold through multiple distribution channels, including an
indirect channel of value-added resellers and distributors, a corporate
account sales force, and a telemarketing sales group. The Company markets its
products worldwide through sales offices in North America, Europe, Australia,
China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.
 
 Basis of Consolidation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MapInfo
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries formed in 1994 in Germany and in
1995 in the United Kingdom and Australia. Significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.
 
 Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets & liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  For the purpose of the cash flows statements, the Company defines cash and
cash equivalents as cash and investments with original maturities of three
months or less.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market as determined on the
average cost method and consist primarily of computer media, user manuals and
software packaging supplies.
 
 Short-term Investments
 
  Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (two to
ten years) for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax
purposes. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the
applicable costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
 
 Product Development Costs
 
  Product development costs, including product enhancements, are capitalized
after technological feasibility has been established. These costs are reported
at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over two years, the estimated economic life
of the products. Annual amortization under the straight-line method is greater
than the ratio of current gross revenue to total expected product revenues
method. Amortization expense is classified as research and development expense
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 Intangible Assets
 
  Intangible assets represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net
assets acquired. Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line
method over seven years. The Company continually evaluates the existence of
goodwill impairment on the basis of whether the goodwill is fully recoverable
from projected, undiscounted net cash flows of the related business unit.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Product revenue: Revenue from software license and technology development
fees is recognized upon the later of shipment of product or completion of
significant obligations to customers, if collectibility of the resulting
receivable is probable. Upon the recognition of revenue, all costs associated
with insignificant obligations are accrued.
 
  Postcontract customer support (PCS): Generally, PCS that is bundled with an
initial licensing fee is for one year or less and is recognized together with
the initial licensing fee on delivery of the software, if collectibility of
the resulting receivable is probable and enhancements and the costs of
providing these services are expected to be insignificant. When PCS is sold
under separate agreements, the revenue is recognized ratably over the term of
the agreement.
 
 Reserve for Returns
 
  The Company as a matter of policy provides the buyer the right to return the
product within 30 days, for a refund of the purchase price or replacement of
the product. Accordingly, the Company accrues for estimated future returns.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109-"Accounting for Income
Taxes" requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are
recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying
enacted statutory tax rates applicable for future years to differences between
financial statement and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The
effect of tax rate changes on deferred taxes is recognized in the income tax
provision in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
  Business tax credits are recorded by the flow-through method of accounting,
whereby they are applied as a reduction of income tax expense in the year the
credits are utilized.
 
 Foreign Currency
 
  The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are
translated at year-end exchange rates, and the income statements are
translated at the average rate of exchange for the year. Gains or losses
resulting from translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are
accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses
from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
 
 Computation of Earnings Per Share
 
  Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive
common equivalent shares consist of stock options using the treasury stock
method.

 Reclassifications
 
  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 and 1995 amounts to

2. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
 
  The Company's short-term investments consist of debt securities which
includes Government bonds and Municipal bonds with maturity dates of one year
or less. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, these debt securities have been

The Company has a revolving convertible credit facility with a commercial bank
under which a maximum of $20 million can be borrowed for a two year period and
then converted into a three year term loan. Interest is at the bank's prime
rate, LIBOR plus 1.5%, or a fixed rate, at the Company's option. The credit

These leases contain a nominal escalation in rental payments over the term of
the lease, and in addition to monthly lease payments, the Company is
responsible for such costs as real estate taxes and maintenance. The Company
may acquire these facilities through the termination of these leases at
negotiated purchase prices. The leases expire in 2002 and 2004.

There are no valuation allowances recorded against the Company's deferred tax
assets, as it is more likely than not that all future tax benefits will be
realized against future taxable income. However, the amount of deferred tax
assets, considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates
of future taxable income are reduced.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
                                (in thousands)
 
 
13. BUSINESS SEGMENT AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
Export sales from the United States include sales primarily to Canada, Japan,
Hong Kong, and, for the first half of 1995, Europe. Individual country
revenues do not equal or exceed 10% of total revenues. Revenues outside the
Americas increased from 30% of revenues in fiscal 1995 to 48% of revenues in
fiscal 1996. The international portion of the Company's business is subject to
a number of inherent risks, including the difficulties in building and
managing international operations, difficulties in localizing products and
translating documentation into international languages, fluctuations in the
value of international currencies, fluctuating import/export duties and
quotas, and unexpected regulatory, economic, or political changes in
international markets. Changes in international business conditions could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations
in the near term.
 
14. ACQUISITION
 
  Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 3, 1995, the Company
purchased assets approximating $824 of its master distributor in Australia,
Peripheral Systems Pty Ltd., an Australian corporation. Purchase consideration
was $330, payable in cash, the assumption of liabilities approximating $116,
and an additional cash payment of $378, paid in February 1996. The acquisition
was accounted for under the purchase method. The results of operations include
the acquired business from date of acquisition.
 
15. OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121-"Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company
adopted this Statement on October 1, 1996. The adoption of this Statement is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123-
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company adopted this Statement on
October 1, 1996. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB Opinion No.
25 in accounting for its stock-based compensation arrangements. The
information for pro-forma disclosure is presently not known.
 
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  Pursuant to an Agreement dated October 2, 1996, the Company acquired an
exclusive, worldwide license to distribute and sub-license SpatialWare
technology from Unisys Corporation for a six month period. Under the
Agreement, the Company also acquired an option to purchase the underlying
intellectual property and certain fixed assets and to employ the staff of
people engaged in the development, sales and marketing of SpatialWare in
Canada, the United States, and Europe. Purchase consideration was $1,439 in
cash at closing and is a nominal amount upon the exercise of the purchase
option. The Company will include these amounts in capitalized product
development costs. The purchase option is exercisable until April 2, 1997.
During the option period, the Company will direct the development, marketing
and sales efforts of the SpatialWare business.
 
In the event the option is exercised, the Company will make contingent cash
payments to Unisys based on revenues generated by the SpatialWare business, up
to a maximum of $1,500. In the event the option is not exercised, the Company
will pay Unisys $350, and this amount, together with the original $1,439
purchase price, would be charged to operations.
