The Panda Project, Inc. 
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 1997

1.    Basis of Presentation 

    Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, and in connection with the review of a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company, the Securities &
Exchange Commission ("SEC") requested that the Company apply the accounting
treatment suggested in an announcement made by the SEC related to the
issuance of convertible debt securities.  The Company determined that it was
necessary to restate the accompanying condensed financial statements from
those previously filed with the SEC to recognize the effect of the
beneficial conversion feature of the subordinated convertible debentures
issued by the Company in April 1997 (Note 3).     

The accompanying condensed financial statements of The Panda Project, Inc.
("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles on a basis consistent in all material respects with
those applied in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
1997. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all
normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to provide a fair statement of results of operations for the
interim periods presented. The interim financial statements should be read
in connection with the financial statements in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997. 

2.    Inventory 
                      September 30, 1997       March 31, 1997
                      ---------------------------------------
   Raw materials          $  907,880            $  434,569
   Work in process              -                   43,341
   Finished goods             60,940               344,399
                      ---------------------------------------
                          $  968,820            $  822,309
                      =======================================

Inventory is valued at net realizable value, which is net of obsolescence
reserves of approximately $450,000 at September 30, 1997 and $250,000 at
March 31, 1997. 

3.    Subordinated Convertible Debentures

During April 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $4.8 million
of 4% subordinated convertible debentures.  The debentures were due two
years from the date of issuance and were convertible into shares of common
stock at the lower of $5.625 per share or 82% of the average closing bid

Page 7

price of the Company's common stock for the five consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the date of conversion.  During June and July 1997,
all of such debentures were converted into an aggregate of 1,996,825 shares
of the Company's common stock.      Total deferred issuance costs related to
the debentures, including placement fees of $384,000 and the value of
warrants of $163,000, are amortized as interest expense.  However, upon
conversion of the debentures, the pro rata portion of any remaining deferred
issuance costs was charged to Additional Paid-in Capital.     

    At a meeting of the Emerging Issues Task Force held on March 13, 1997,
the staff of the SEC announced its position on the accounting treatment for
the issuance of convertible debt securities with a beneficial conversion
feature such as that contained in the subordinated convertible debentures
issued by the Company.  As required by this announcement, the beneficial
conversion feature has been recognized and allocated to additional paid-in
capital.  The amount of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated to
be $907,317 at the date of issuance of the subordinated convertible
debentures, measured as the difference between the conversion price and the
fair market value of the Company's common stock into which the debentures
are convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the
debentures are convertible.  The debentures were fully convertible into
shares of the Company's common stock prior to June 30, 1997 and as such, the
entire amount of the beneficial conversion feature was charged to interest
expense during the three months ended June 30, 1997.  The accounting for
this transaction has no effect on cash or total stockholders' equity.     

4.    Commitments and Contingent Matters

During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company issued purchase
orders to two suppliers to provide materials for the production of the
Company's VSPA semiconductor package.  The aggregate commitment under these
purchase orders is approximately $400,000.  During October 1997, the Company
issued additional purchase orders to one of these suppliers in the aggregate
amount of approximately $480,000.

During November 1997, the Company and William J. Sarubbi, the Company's
former Vice President of Sales, agreed to dismiss the lawsuit filed against
the Company by William Sarubbi in April 1996 with no obligation owed by the
Company.

There are various legal proceedings and claims pending against the Company,
including disputes with a former director of the Company.  While it is not
possible to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, it is the
opinion of management, based on advice from counsel, that the resolution of
such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position.

5.    Equity

During the annual meeting of shareholders held on August 12, 1997, an
amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation was approved which 

<PAGE>
Page 8

allows the Company to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

6.    Licensing Fees

In July, 1997, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with LG Cable
& Machinery Ltd. ("LG") whereby LG was granted a license, for a term that
continues until the expiration of the last to expire of the patents covered
by the agreement, with respect to a semiconductor package product owned by
the Company.  The license granted to LG is non-exclusive except for certain
limited exclusive manufacturing rights with respect to specified Asian
countries.  In connection with this agreement, the Company is entitled to a
non-refundable license fee of $250,000 which was received and recognized as
revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 1997.  In addition, the
Company is entitled to receive royalties on sales of the semiconductor
package products by LG or its affiliates.

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

Overview 

The Company was incorporated in April 1992 to design, develop, and
manufacture products incorporating the Company's proprietary semiconductor
packaging and interconnect technology (the "Technology Products") and to
develop, manufacture and market a line of powerful, modular computers (the
"Archistrat Computers"). The Company's fiscal year previously ended on March
31.  However, the Company has changed its fiscal year from April 1 through
March 31 to January 1 through December 31, effective December 31, 1997.  The
Company will file an annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission with audited financial statements for the transition
period (April 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997).

This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For this
purpose any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without
limiting the foregoing, the words "believes", "anticipates", "plans",
"expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements. These factors, include, without limitation,
delays in product development, potential claims and possible litigation
relating to the ownership of intellectual property, competitive pressures,
manufacturing risks, general economic conditions and the risk factors
detailed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports and
registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Results of Operations - Quarter and Six Months Ended September 30, 1997 and
1996

Total net revenues increased approximately $266,000 or 33% to $1,083,955 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period of the
preceding year.  For the six months ended September 30, 1997, net revenues
increased approximately $536,000 or 43% compared to the six months ended
September 30, 1996.  

For the quarter and six months ended September 30, 1997, the Company
recognized revenue related to its agreement with the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency, which commenced in October 1996, of $441,470 and
$835,724, respectively.  The Company recognizes revenue and is entitled to
receive payments based on the achievement of specific milestones set forth
in the agreement.  

Net revenues from the sale of Archistrat Computers amounted to $392,485 and
$701,015 during the quarter and six months ended September 30, 1997, 

<PAGE>
Page 10

respectively, compared to net revenues of $817,613 and $1,250,725 during the
same periods of the prior year, respectively.  Revenues of approximately
$326,000 and $874,000 were recognized during the three and six months ended
September 30, 1996 in connection with a barter transaction with a software
developer.  The Company will continue to actively market and sell the
workstation configuration of the Archistrat computer, primarily through its
own sales force, for animation, video, and high performance CAD/CAM
applications.  In addition, in October 1997, the Company introduced a new
lower cost version workstation using the Company's proprietary architecture
and technology in a basic chassis.

Cost of sales related to the sale of Archistrat Computers decreased to
$435,138 from $1,398,674 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997
compared to the same period of the previous year, and decreased to $778,960
from $2,188,780 during the six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to
the same period of the previous year.  The decreases relate to the lower
amount of product sales and a significant reduction in the amount of charges
recognized related to inventory write downs, scrap and rework during the
prior year.

Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased approximately 45% during
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 and decreased 36% during the six months ended September
30, 1997 compared to the prior year.  The reduction in R&D spending is
reflective of the Company's progress in moving from a development stage
enterprise to one seeking to commercialize its core technologies.  The
Company believes that its level of R&D spending is appropriate to support
current operations and to continue to maintain efforts to enhance
development of VSPA, Compass Connectors, Compass PGA, and the Archistrat
Computers and related technologies.  During the quarter and six months ended
September 30, 1997, research and development activities primarily included
continued testing and qualification of VSPA as well as the design and
development of high-speed manufacturing equipment for VSPA.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter and six
months ended September 30, 1997 decreased 37% and 48%, respectively, as
compared to the same periods of the prior year.  The net decrease in SG&A
expenses for the quarterly periods is due principally to a reduction in work
force.  The average number of full-time employees decreased from 121 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 to 62 for the quarter ended September 30,
1997.  Employee compensation and benefit costs also substantially
contributed to the overall reduction in SG&A expenses for the six months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period of the prior year.  The
average number of full-time employees decreased from 133 to 60 for the six
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.  In addition,
selling and marketing expenses decreased during this period as a result of
focusing on specific niche markets for the Company's Archistrat Computers as
well as utilizing independent manufacturing sales representatives to 

<PAGE>
Page 11
supplement the Company's sales force regarding the sale of the Company's
technology products.

    Interest expense in the amount of $907,317 was recognized during the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 related to the issuance of the subordinated
convertible debentures representing the beneficial conversion feature
associated with the debentures.  The amount was measured at the date of
issuance of the subordinated convertible debentures as the difference
between the conversion price and the fair of the Company's common stock into
which the debentures are convertible, multiplied by the number of shares
into which the debentures are convertible.  The accounting for this
transaction has no effect on cash or on total stockholders' equity.     

During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company determined that, due to
various events and changes in circumstances (including efforts to streamline
operations and to increase the use of strategic alliances to manufacture and
market the Company's products), certain long-lived assets were impaired.  As
a result, in the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded a charge
of approximately $1.5 million.

The Company anticipates that it will be dependent on third parties for the
manufacture and/or assembly of printed circuit boards, frame, exterior, base
fabrication and other subassemblies, as well as for the supply of various of
the components, incorporated into the Archistrat Computers, and for
performing the final assembly configuration, certain quality control testing
and delivery of such computers.  Although the Company has an arrangement
with a contract manufacturer to manufacturer certain subassemblies and has
identified an alternative manufacturer for such components, there can be no
assurance that such manufacturers will dedicate sufficient production
capacity to satisfy the Company's requirements within scheduled delivery
times or at all.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

During April 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $4.8 million
of 4% subordinated convertible debentures and received net proceeds of
approximately $4.5 million.  The debentures were convertible into shares of
common stock at the lower of $5.625 per share or 82% of the average closing
bid price of the Company's common stock for the five consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the date of conversion.  During June and July
1997, all of the debentures were converted into an aggregate of 1,996,825
shares of the Company's common stock.  

The Company's capital requirements in connection with its operations and
development activities have been and may continue to be significant.  During
the remainder of the current year, the Company expects to continue its
development efforts related to certain of its Technology Products, complete
the construction of several high-speed production machines for its VSPA 

<PAGE>
Page 12

product which are expected to be utilized within the Company to manufacture
product for direct sales and/or to be sold to licensees of VSPA, and
continue to transition its current modular workstations and server products
into higher volume production.

In October 1997, the Company announced that it had completed construction of
the first automated machine for the production of the VSPA product.  In
addition, the Company also announced that it had received a prototype order
from a manufacturer of data communications circuits based in Taiwan.  The
Company anticipates, based on its discussions with certain customers, that
it will commence the production and shipment of modest quantities of VSPA
semiconductor packages during the quarter ending December 31, 1997.  The
Company anticipates that it will also realize royalty revenue during such
quarter related to its Technology Products from the arrangements announced
during the past year, including, but not limited to, license agreements with
LG Cable & Machinery.  The Company also expects to continue to earn revenues
related to the cooperative development agreement entered into with the U.S.
Government during the prior year.  However,  there can be no assurance that
revenues from any or all of these sources will in fact be realized on the
timetable anticipated by the Company or that the Company will become
profitable in the foreseeable future.

The Company has been dependent upon the proceeds of sales of its securities
to fund its activities since inception.  The Company expects that sales of
VSPA, licensing and royalty revenue related to its Technology Products,
increased shipments of Archistrat Computers and the related revenue, and
revenue associated with the cooperative development agreement, noted above
will provide additional resources to at least partially fund its activities
during the remainder of the current year.

Primarily through its cost reduction efforts, the Company has been able to
significantly decrease the amount of average monthly cash consumption.  Cash
flows used by operating activities decreased $7.4 million from $12.7 million
during the six months ended September 30, 1996 to $5.3 million during six
months ended September 30, 1997. 

The Company is dependent upon the success of the efforts discussed above to
expand its marketing activities in order to obtain additional orders for its
Technology Products and Archistrat Computers, to continue efforts that may
lead to the commercialization of additional products and technologies and to
finance other working capital requirements.  The Company may need to seek
additional sources of funding during the current year in order to achieve
its goals.

Item 5. Other Information 

        In September 1997, the Company announced it had reached agreement
        with Grand Traverse Stamping, a division of Alcoa Fujikura, Ltd.(a
        joint venture between Alcoa and Fujikura) under which Grand Traverse
        Stamping will supply interconnect pins for the Company's VSPA
        semiconductor package.  The Company also announced it had entered
        into an agreement with Confederate Plastics, Inc. under which
        Confederate Plastics will supply the molded frame made of liquid
        crystal polymer for the VSPA semiconductor package.

<PAGE>
Page 15

        In October 1997, the Company announced it had completed construction
        of the first automated machine for the production of the VSPA
        product.  The Company also announced that it had received a
        prototype order from Tamarack Microelectronics, Inc., a privately
        owned-manufacturer of data communications circuits based in Taiwan.

        In September 1997, William E.Ahearn, formerly Vice President of
        Technology of the Company, was named Vice President and Chief
        Scientist of the Company.  In July 1997, Babar Hamirani resigned as
        Senior Vice President of Systems Operations of the Company.  In
        November 1997, Robert Toda resigned as Vice President of Sales and
        Marketing.  The Company does not expect to fill that position at
        this time.

        In August 1997, the Company hired Melissa Crane, wife of Stanford
        W. Crane, Jr., as Director of Strategic Business at an annual
        salary of $100,000 per year.  In September 1997, Ms. Crane was
        granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the
        Company at an exercise price of  $6.13 per share.  Such options
        expire on September 19, 2007.  Options to purchase 10,000 of these
        shares of Common Stock are exercisable six months from the date of
        grant and the remainder become exercisable  in equal annual
        installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of
        grant.  In October 1997, the Board of Directors approved the payment
        of a bonus of $25,000 to Ms. Crane in connection with the
        achievement of certain marketing objectives.  In November 1997, the
        Board of Directors elected Ms. Crane Vice President of Strategic
        Business and authorized an increase in her annual salary to $125,000
        per year.
