                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of
operations and cash flows include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring items) considered necessary for their fair presentation. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for
the period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. The information included in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis and the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995.

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company considers its investment portfolio available for sale as defined in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115. The amortized cost
of securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts to maturity. Such amortization, realized gains and losses, interest
and dividends, and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are
included in investment income. There were no material unrealized gains or losses
nor any material differences between the estimated fair values and costs of
securities in the investment portfolio at June 30, 1996. The cost of securities
sold is based on the specific identification method.

The Company invests its cash in accordance with a policy that seeks to maximize
returns while ensuring both liquidity and minimal risk of principal loss. The
policy limits investments to certain types of instruments issued by institutions
with investment grade credit ratings, and places restrictions on maturities and
concentration by type and issuer. The majority of the Company's portfolio is
composed of fixed income investments which are subject to the risk of market
interest rate fluctuations, and all the Company's investments are subject to
risks associated with the ability of the issuers to perform their obligations
under the instruments.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common
equivalent shares related to stock options, warrants and preferred stock are
excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive, except that,
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins,
common and common equivalent shares, issued at prices below the public offering
price during the twelve months immediately preceding the initial filing date of
the Company's initial public offering have been included in the calculation as
if they were outstanding for all periods presented, using the treasury stock
method and the initial public offering price.

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
is based on the Company's estimated annualized effective tax rate for 1996 which
considers utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As a
result of net operating losses, the Company did not record any provision for
income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
financial statements and notes thereto.

The discussion and analysis below contains trend analysis and other forward-
looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-
looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled
"Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results," as well as those discussed
elsewhere in the Companys SEC reports, including without limitation, its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

OVERVIEW

The Company derives a substantial majority of its revenues from a limited number
of products. The Company's future revenues are substantially dependent upon the
continued market acceptance of Kai's Power Tools, Bryce, Convolver, Vector
Effects, KPT PowerPhotos, Final Effects, and a product released in the second
quarter of 1996, Kai's Power Goo. In this regard, revenue from the sale of Kai's
Power Tools was 28% and 26% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company also has a number of new product
development efforts under way, and a significant portion of future revenues is
dependent upon the success of these activities.

The Company develops its products either internally or through co-development
arrangements with third parties.  These co-development arrangements generally
provide the Company with certain exclusive proprietary, copyright or marketing
rights for developed products in exchange for the payment of one-time and/or
ongoing royalties.  The Company expects to continue fostering arrangements with
external developers as part of its strategy of expanding its product portfolio.
The Company includes such royalty expenses in cost of revenues as such royalties
are earned.  The Company believes that co-development arrangements represent an
important component of the Company's research and development investment.  There
can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to continue to
supplement its product development efforts in the future through such
relationships on favorable terms or at all.  If the Company were unable to
maintain its existing co-development arrangements or to attract new co-
development partners, the Company would, at a minimum, have to increase its
research and development expenditures, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company sells its products primarily to domestic and international
distributors, including mail order resellers and, to a lesser extent, retail
outlets. The Company also sells its products to OEMs for bundling with their
hardware or software products and directly to end users, generally through
telesales and direct mail campaigns. Fluctuations in distributor purchases can
cause significant volatility in the Company's revenues. Distributors generally
stock the Company's products at levels which may fluctuate significantly for a
variety of reasons, including the distributors ability to finance the purchase
of products and to devote shelf space, catalog space or attention to the
products. Distributor purchases may also be affected by the Company's
introduction of a new product or new version of a product, the Company's end
user promotions

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
programs, anticipated product price increases, the Companys purchases
of display space at retail outlets and other factors.

Since 1992, the Company has focused on building its product portfolio and
establishing brandname awareness of its products.  These activities have
resulted in significant increases in all expense categories.  In particular, the
Company's shift from direct sales to end users toward expanded indirect
distribution channels has required a substantial increase in the Company's sales
and marketing activities.  The Company's recent product development efforts have
also entailed significant research and development expenditures.  These higher
expense levels combined with fluctuations in net revenues have contributed to
the Company's annual losses and quarterly losses through June 30, 1995, as well
as fluctuations in its operating results.  The Company intends to continue to
invest significant amounts both in expanding its product portfolio and in
maintaining and enhancing brand awareness of its products, and accordingly may
continue to experience losses and volatility of net revenues and operating
results in future periods.

Net Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products upon shipment to
the customer and satisfaction of significant Company obligations, if any.  Net
revenues increased 60% from $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995 to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Net revenues
increased as a result of the Company's release of new products and new versions
of its existing products along with increased expansion of sales through its
domestic and international distribution channels.  In particular, since the
second quarter of 1995, the Company has released KPT PowerPhotos Series II, III
and IV, Final Effects, Final Effects

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
AP, Kai's Power Tools 3, Bryce 2 and Kai's Power Goo. International sales
increased from 20% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to
28% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

Net revenues increased 61% from $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995 to $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in
net revenues was the result of the development and release of new products, the
enhancement and release of new versions of the Company's existing products, and
significant increases in the Company's distribution channels and marketing
activities.

The Company offers two principal product types consisting of plug-in extensions
(including Kai's Power Tools, Convolver, Vector Effects and Final Effects) and
stand-alone applications and application platforms (principally consisting of
Bryce and KPT PowerPhotos, and a new product released in the second quarter of
1996, Kai's Power Goo).  The following table reflects the net revenue
contribution by each product family for the fiscal periods presented:

</TABLE>

The Company has migrated most of its existing products to run on Windows-based
computers as well as Macintosh, and recently it has begun bundling both Windows
and Macintosh versions on the same CD to minimize production and distribution
costs.  For the second quarter of 1996, cross platform and Windows products
represented 58% of net revenues, compared with 22% for the second quarter of
1995.  Cross platform and Windows products represented 50% and 23% of net
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Company provides an allowance for estimated returns at the time of product
shipments and adjusts this allowance as needed based on actual returns history.
Such reserves as a percentage of net revenues have varied significantly over
recent years, reflecting the Company's experience in product returns as it has
significantly expanded the proportion of its sales through third-party
distribution channels and increased its product portfolio.  The Company expects
reserves will continue to vary in the future.  The Company's agreements with its
distributors generally provide the distributors with limited rights to return
unsold inventories under a stock balancing program.  The Company monitors the
activities of its distributors in an effort to minimize excessive returns and
establishes its reserves based on its estimates of expected returns.  While
historically the Company's returns have been within expectations, the setting of
reserves requires judgments regarding such factors as future competitive
conditions and product life cycles, which can be difficult to predict.  As a
result, there can be no assurance that established reserves will be adequate to
cover actual future returns.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues includes the costs of goods sold, royalties paid to external
developers, inventory management costs, freight and handling costs and reserves
for inventory obsolescence.  Cost of revenues decreased from $1.3 million, or
33% of net revenues, for the three months ended June

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
30, 1995 to $1.1 million, or 18% of net revenues, for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues decreased as a
result of a changing mix of product sales toward lower royalty products,
improved management of production and inventory levels, and higher OEM licensing
sales. Royalties represented 2% and 12% of net revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Cost of revenues decreased from $2.7 million to $2.2 million, or from 36% to 19%
of net revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues resulted from
increased sales of lower royalty products, improved production and inventory
management, and increased OEM licensing sales.  Royalties represented 3% and 13%
of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include advertising, promotional materials, mail
campaigns, tradeshows and the compensation costs of sales, marketing, customer
service and public relations personnel who promote the Company's products,
including related facilities costs.  Sales and marketing expenses increased from
$2.3 million to $2.9 million, but decreased as a percentage of net revenues from
57% to 45%, for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Such increase was a result of the continued efforts to expand sales and
marketing activities and distribution channels.  The Company intends to continue
such expansion and anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will continue
to increase significantly in future periods as the Company's product offerings
expand, although they may vary as a percentage of net revenues.

Sales and marketing expenses increased from $4.0 million to $5.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, but decreased as a
percentage of net revenues from 55% to 46%. The increase reflected the Company's
efforts to expand its sales and marketing presence and distribution channels
through the hiring of additional personnel and increased advertising, mail
campaigns, and tradeshow expenditures.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include compensation costs related to
executive management, finance and administration personnel of the Company along
with other administrative costs including legal and accounting fees, insurance,
and bad debt expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased from
$496,000 to $734,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, but remained consistent as a percentage of net revenues at 12%.
The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted from additional
provisions for doubtful accounts commensurate with the increase in revenues and
accounts receivable, and to increased incentive compensation.  The Company
expects that its general and administrative expenses will continue to increase
in the future as the Company expands its staffing to support expanded operations
and to comply with the responsibilities of a public company, but may vary as a
percentage of net revenues.

General and administrative expenses increased from $904,000 to $1.3 million, but
decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 12% to 11%, for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  The increase in general and
administrative expenses reflects increased headcount and associated personnel
costs related to the expansion of the Company's executive, accounting, finance,
and administration staffing required to support the Company's growth.  The
decrease in

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues
is the result of the leverage of a larger business.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs,
consultant fees the amortization of purchased technology, and required equipment
and facilities costs related to the Company's product development efforts.  To
date, the Company has not capitalized any internal software development costs
since costs qualifying for such capitalization have not been significant.

Research and development expenses increased from $332,000, or 8% of net
revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $814,000, or 13% of net
revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as a result of the Company's
focus on expanding its product portfolio, enhancing its products and migrating
its existing products to multiple operating systems, which required the hiring
of additional personnel.  The Company expects research and development expenses
will continue to increase in future periods, but may vary as a percentage of net
revenues.

Research and development expenses increased from $641,000 to $1.6 million, or
from 9% to 13% of net revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  The increase in research and development expenses results from
the development and release of new products and the enhancement and release of
new versions of the Company's existing products, which required the hiring of
additional personnel.

Provisions for Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The provision for
income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are based on the
Company's estimated annualized effective tax rate for 1996 which considers
utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As a result of
net operating losses, the Company did not record any provision for income taxes
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

Limited Operating History; History of Losses; Variability of Operating Results

The Company was incorporated in March 1987 and did not introduce its first
internally developed product until January 1993. The Company experienced losses
in each quarter of 1994 and the first two quarters of 1995, and the Company's
revenues and operating results have varied substantially from period to period.
There can be no assurance that the Company's future revenue and operating
results will not also vary substantially. The Company's revenues are relatively
difficult to forecast due to a number of variable factors, including the timing
of the introduction of new products by the Company and its competitors,
seasonality of customer purchases, other general economic conditions, and the
Company's ability to capture sufficient interest and commitment by distributors
to market the Company's products or product enhancements. The Company's
operating results also vary significantly depending on changes in pricing,
changes in customer budgets and the volume and timing of orders received and
shipments made during a quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Customers
generally order on

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
an as-needed basis, and the Company's software generally is shipped as orders
are received. Consequently, the Company typically operates with little or no
backlog. The Company experiences some effect of seasonality in its business, as
demand for its products tends to increase during the fourth calendar quarter as
a result of the year-end holiday buying season. Further, as the Company has
recently released its first consumer product, Kai's Power Goo, the year-end
holiday buying season may have a larger impact on revenues in the future than in
the past. A disproportionate percentage of the Company's quarterly revenues is
typically generated in the last month of the quarter principally due to customer
buying patterns. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Company
anticipates that it may experience material and adverse fluctuations in future
operating results on a quarterly or annual basis. Therefore, the Company
believes that period to period comparisons of its revenues and operating results
are not necessarily meaningful and that such comparisons cannot be relied upon
as indicators of future performance.

Evolving Markets for Computer Graphic Imaging and Internet/Online Design
Tools; Rapid Technological Change

Since the markets for computer graphic imaging and Internet/online design tools
are still emerging, there can be no assurance that the markets for the Company's
existing products will grow, that digital graphic and Internet/online content
developers will adopt the Company's products, that sufficient distribution
resources will be available to market the Company's products in a timely manner
or that such products will be successful in achieving market acceptance.
Additionally, since the computer graphic imaging and Internet/online design tool
markets, and the personal computer industry in general, are characterized by
rapidly changing technology, resulting in short product life cycles and price
declines, the Company must continuously update its existing products to keep
them current with changing technology and must develop new products to take
advantage of new technologies that could render the Company's existing products
obsolete.  The Company's future prospects are highly dependent on its ability to
keep pace with its competitors innovations, to adapt to new operating systems,
hardware platforms and emerging industry standards, and to provide additional
functionality to the Company's existing products.

Limited Product Lines; Risk of Product Delays

The Company's growth will be dependent upon the introduction of new products and
new versions of existing products.  There can be no assurance that any such new
products or versions will achieve market acceptance.  In addition, the Company
has in the past experienced delays in the development of new products and the
enhancement of existing products, and such delays may occur in the future.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
Dependence on Third Parties

Certain of the Company's products operate as plug-in extensions and enhancements
for specific print, animation, video and multimedia application platforms.
Market acceptance of the Company's plug-in products is dependent upon market
acceptance of these third-party application platforms, as well as the
willingness of the manufacturers of such platforms to permit their platforms to
be extended and enhanced by plug-in products such as those of the Company.

Distribution Risks

The Company sells its products worldwide through multiple distribution channels,
including traditional software distributors, hardware and software OEMs,
international distributors, educational distributors, VARs, hardware
superstores, retail dealers, and direct marketers.  Accordingly, the Company is
dependent on the continued viability and financial stability of these third
parties, including certain of the traditional software distributors who have
recently experienced significant margin pressure.

Competition

The Company faces competition from a number of sources, including other vendors
of personal computer graphic imaging and Internet/online design application
platforms and tools, other personal computer software industry participants and
companies that offer graphic and Internet/online design solutions that are not
personal computer based.  If these or other competitors develop products,
technologies or solutions that offer significant performance, price or other
advantages over those of the Company, the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition would be materially affected.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company satisfied its cash requirements principally through
the private sale of its securities, borrowings from stockholders and bank
borrowings.  In December 1995, the Company raised $45.2 million, net of offering
costs, in connection with an initial public offering of its common stock.

The Company has a $3.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank which
expires during December 1996 and is collateralized by substantially all of the
assets of the Company.  Borrowings under the credit facility are limited to a
percentage of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the credit agreement.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of
credit.

Historically, net cash used in operating activities has been significant due to
operating losses and working capital requirements resulting from the growth of
the Company.  Non-cash assets have increased significantly, particularly
accounts receivable.  Net cash used in investing activities has also increased
substantially due to the purchase of $31.5 million of short-term investments
during the second quarter of 1996.  The Company expects that its working capital
requirements will continue to increase to the extent the Company continues to
grow.

The Company believes that its current cash balances and any cash provided by
future operations will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through at
least the next twelve months.

                  METATOOLS/STREAM TURNKEY/INVENTORY AGREEMENT



PARTIES:
- --------

This working agreement is made and entered into between MetaTools, Inc.
("MetaTools"), 6303 Carpinteria Ave., Carpinteria, CA 93013 and Stream
International Inc. ("Stream"), 105 Rosemont Rd., Westwood, MA 02090.

TERM:
- -----

The term of this agreement is from 3/01/96 through 3/01/97 and will be reviewed
annually.

TERMINATION:
- ------------

This agreement can be canceled by either party with 90 calendar days written
notice and agreed to disposition of inventories.

DISPUTES:
- ---------

Both parties agree to negotiate disputes in good faith and to submit to
arbitration should they fail to reach agreement.

PURPOSE:
- --------

To award MetaTools turnkey deliverable requirements to Stream in accordance with
the provisions and prices in this agreement.

COMPONENT AND RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT:
- ---------------------------------------

Under written authorization from MetaTools, Stream will produce or procure
components and raw material and retain ownership of these components on
MetaTools' behalf per the programs outlined below.  This authorization may take
the form of, but is not limited to, purchase orders, electronic mail messages,
MetaTools-generated forecasts, or MetaTools sign-off on production planning or
MRP sheets.

PURCHASE ORDERS:
- ----------------

Stream will require a hard copy Purchase Order prior to final assembly or final
shipment of products.  These purchase orders will be consistent with the price
quotation which Stream will develop from the most current specifications and
requested quantities provided by MetaTools.  Purchase Orders will be delivered
in hard copy, fax, or electronic mail.  At a minimum, purchase orders will
consist of purchase order number, PO line number parts, prices, and delivery
dates.

Once purchase orders and delivery schedules have been mutually accepted,
subsequent changes in quantities, specifications, or delivery schedules will be
subject to price adjustments and production schedule changes under the terms of
this Agreement.  Stream will make every effort

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
to maintain price consistency and reduce purchase price variance for MetaTools
in these situations. Stream may ship and invoice all completed kits 90 days
after receipt of PO.

FORECASTS:
- ----------

MetaTools' requirements typically call for shipment of product in a timeframe
that is shorter than the required components can be effectively procured or
produced.  MetaTools-generated forecasts will be used for component and raw
material procurement or production authorization.  MetaTools agrees to provide
Stream a 90 day rolling forecast on the first Thursday of each month.  Materials
(components and raw materials) will be purchased to a forecast by Stream on
MetaTools behalf using a net MRP process.  This process will include Stream
determining an economic order quantity, not to exceed either the total forecast
quantity, or a maximum of the ninety days forecast requirements.  This quantity
will be procured with MetaTools signed authorization.

DELIVERY:
- ---------

MetaTools may schedule deliveries for multiple locations for any quantity from a
single purchase order.  In the event that multiple "ship to" addresses are
required on the same purchase order, drop ship charges may apply.  This does not
apply to distribution orders.

CANCELLATIONS:
- --------------

Should MetaTools decide to cancel purchase orders, forecasts, or deliveries,
discontinuing work, or reducing total quantities, MetaTools agrees to give
Stream written notice.  This notice shall be in the form of an updated forecast,
purchase change order or electronic mail.  In addition, MetaTools agrees to pay
the material and labor at the stated selling price for work completed and in
process as of the date and time Stream receives notification of cancellation.
This payment may include extraordinary costs which are incurred by Stream.  This
may include extraordinary administrative expense incurred.

Stream agrees to work in good faith to limit the potential chargeable costs by
rescheduling piece part procurement, deliveries, and manufacturing and assembly
as long as is reasonably possible and cost effective.  Interrupted but completed
work and non-standard material may be invoiced in normal billing cycles once
MetaTools has been informed.  MetaTools agrees to provide a revised Purchase
Order for the work completed at the time of cancellation.

EXCESS MATERIAL:
- ----------------

Excess material will be defined as the quantity of any given material
(components and customer specific raw material) which has been on-hand at Stream
for longer than 90 calendar days but not over 180 days.  Streams and MetaTools
joint objective will be to consume or dispose of this material prior to 180 days
from its receipt in order to avoid storage charges.  The details of storage
charges are described below.  Stream may invoice for all material on hand over
180 days.

SURPLUS MATERIAL:
- -----------------

Surplus material will be defined as the quantity of any given material
(components and customer specific raw material) which has been on-hand at Stream
for longer than 180 calendar days.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
Beginning on the 181st day this inventory will be assessed a carrying and
storage changes equal to 2.5% of the Stream selling price/month or $14.50/pallet
for consigned material. These costs will be invoiced on the first day of each
month. MetaTools agrees to provide a Purchase Order to cover these costs. Stream
may invoice components and customer specific raw material at the earlier of the
termination of this Agreement of the first anniversary of acquisition. MetaTools
agrees to continue paying carrying and storage charges until the material is
physically disposed of. Disposition involves:

1.  The surplus material is consumed in the manufacturing process.
2.  The surplus material is shipped "as is" to a destination of MetaTools
    choice.
3.  The surplus material is scrapped at MetaTools direction.

OBSOLETE MATERIAL:
- ------------------

Obsolete material will be defined as the quantity of any given material
(components and customer specific raw material) meeting any of the following
conditions:

1.  All related top level SKU's are no longer being sold through normal
    distribution channels.
2.  It has been replaced by new or updated versions through a revision or
    specification change process.
3.  It has been eliminated from all applicable MetaTools Bills of Material.

As of the date material is identified as obsolete, it will be assessed storage
and carrying costs as described under "Surplus" above.  MetaTools agrees to
dispose of or consume all obsolete material also as outlined above.

In no event will Stream charge MetaTools for materials Stream elected to produce
in excess of MetaTools authorized component levels set out in MetaTools
forecast.  Stream assumes all risks of producing material in excess of these
authorized component levels.  Only material which is of a quality suitable for
its original use may be classified as excess or obsolete.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT:
- ---------------------

In order to assist MetaTools in limiting obsolescence exposure and storage
charges, Stream agrees to utilize Inventory Management procedures as below:

Stream will maintain a maximum of one month supply of finished goods in
MetaTools distribution inventory at any given time.  Minimum finished levels
will be set by Stream in conjunction with MetaTools management and will be based
on assembly leadtime and forecasted demand.  Stream will be responsible for
monitoring finished goods minimum levels and replenishing to preset maximums at
appropriate times.

Stream will purchase component materials in economic order quantities.  In most
cases these quantities will be less than 90 days forecasted demand and in no
case will they exceed this amount.

Stream will monitor component inventory levels via our Master Scheduling MRP
system.  Stream will load MetaTools rolling 90 day forecast into the MRP system
each month.  The system will net on-hand quantities against projected demand.
Stream purchasing will calculate

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
economic order quantities from the MRP net requirements, ensuring minimum
inventory levels and continuity of supply.

SKU specific mid-month forecasts will be required for products which are
significantly exceeding forecasted demand or for new product introductions which
were not included in previous forecasts.

PRICING:
- --------

Pricing will be based on the following:

1.  Assembly
    --------

    Assembly pricing for March through June is based on the forecasts MetaTools
    have provided to Stream. March 1996 plus the quarter beginning April 1996
    prices will be based on a flat rate of $1.05. This reflects an understanding
    that we were in a start-up period and is not contingent upon previous
    volume. 

    Pricing for the quarter of July through September will remain at
    $1.05 provided the volume from March through June 1996 exceeds 120,000
    units. In the event that volume in this same period exceeds 240,000 units
    (quarterly total), pricing for the quarter of July through September will be
    reduced based on the schedule below.
