FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Inso Corporation to Revise Fiscal Year-End
BOSTON, November 18, 1998 - Inso Corporation (Nasdaq: INSO) today
announced that it will change its fiscal year from December 31 to
January 31. The fiscal year ending in 1998 will remain December 31,
1998 and the new fiscal year ending on January 31, 2000 will begin on
February 1, 1999. A one-month transition period will end on
January 31, 1999.
"We believe that changing our year end to January is in the best interests
of Inso's shareholders," said Steven R. Vana-Paxhia, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Inso Corporation. "In selecting a new year end, we
took into consideration the dynamics surrounding our current business model,
and our increased focus on enterprise software solutions. This change will
allow us to more closely align our financial reporting practices with our
business strategy, based on the seasonal buying patterns of enterprise
customers. The off-calendar quarterly reporting period is a common practice
among companies who supply enterprise-wide solutions of technology."
