                          Iterated Systems, Inc.
             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                            September 30, 2000
                                  (unaudited)

1.   Presentation of Interim Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that Iterated Systems,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Iterated Systems, Limited (collectively,
the "Company") consider necessary for a fair presentation of its unaudited
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

2.   Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary, Iterated Systems, Limited.
Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

3.   Loan Agreements
In March 2000, the Company executed loan agreements for a total of $2,000,000
with two major shareholders. The loans were funded in May 2000. The terms of the
loans call for the Company to repay the loans in twelve equal installments
beginning June 30, 2001. In the event the Company sells additional shares of
common stock in the aggregate amount of at least $2,000,000, then the lenders
will automatically convert the balance of the loans then outstanding into common
stock at a discount of 25% from the price per share of the offering. Interest on
the loans accrues at an annual rate of prime plus 1%.

4.   Sales of Common Stock
In September 1997 and November 1999, the Company sold shares of common stock on
the Oslo Stock Exchange, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$20,367,000. In a continuation of the 1999 offering, the Company received an
additional $259,000 in January 2000.

5.   Segment Information
In accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information ("SFAS 131"), the following disclosure represents the information
required by SFAS 131 when evaluating the operating performance of its business
units. The information reviewed by management includes the operating revenue,
net loss and identifiable assets for the Company's two geographic areas, the
United States and the United Kingdom. Both operating segments are involved in
developing and marketing patented digital image science technology. The
identifiable assets of the United States geographic area exclude inter-company
accounts receivable.

6.   Comprehensive Income
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"), which establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains and losses) in financial statements. SFAS 130 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS 130 in
1998 and has not presented a statement of comprehensive income because the
effect of the components of comprehensive income is not material to its
consolidated financial statements.

7.   Revenue Recognition
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"). SAB
101 summarizes certain of the SEC Staff's views in applying generally accepted
accounting principals to revenue recognition in financial statements. Although
we are currently evaluating the impact of SAB 101, we believe that our current
practices comply with SAB 101. However, should we determine that a change in
accounting policy is necessary such a change will be made in fourth quarter of
2000.

8.   Subsequent Event.
In October 2000, the Company executed loan agreements for a total of $1,500,000
with two major shareholders. The terms of the loans call for the Company to
repay the loans in twelve equal installments beginning December 31, 2001. In the
event the Company sells additional shares of common stock in the aggregate
amount of at least $2,000,000, then the balance of the loans then outstanding
will automatically convert into common stock at a discount of 25% from the price
per share of the offering. Interest on the loans accrues at an annual rate of
prime plus 1%.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

The discussions herein contain trend information and other forward-looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The actual results
of the Company could differ materially from its historical results of operations
and those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking
statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's management as well as
assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's
management. When used herein, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect" and "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to
the Company or the Company's management, are intended to identify forward-
looking statements.

Overview

Historically, the Company has derived its revenues from development fees,
license fees, and packaged software products. The Company expects that revenues
from development fees and packaged software products will continue to decline as
business efforts are focused on developing and licensing the Company's MediaBin
software to users of high quality digital image systems. The Company believes
that the majority of its future revenues will be derived from license, service
and maintenance fees on its MediaBin software.
<PAGE>

The Company recognizes license fee revenues when its software products are
delivered and collectibility of fees is probable, provided no significant
obligations remain under the contract. Revenue from service fees is recognized
based on the Company's estimate of the percentage of completion using actual
costs incurred as a percentage of expected total costs of individual service
agreements. Maintenance revenue is recognized pro-rata throughout the period
covered by the maintenance agreement.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

In the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, operating activities used cash of
$4,348,000 and $5,683,100, respectively.

In the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, investing activities (used) provided
cash of $(128,500) and $2,444,300, respectively. During 2000, funds were used to
purchase computer equipment. In 1999 funds were provided primarily by the sale
of short-term investments.

In the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, financing activities provided (used)
cash of $2,251,400 and $(3,600) respectively. In 2000, funds were provided
primarily by loans from shareholders and the sale of common stock. In 1999,
funds were used to make payments on a capital lease.

In March 2000, the Company executed loan agreements for a total of $2,000,000
with two major shareholders. The loans were funded in May 2000. The terms of the
loans call for the Company to repay the loans in twelve equal installments
beginning June 30, 2001. In the event the Company sells additional shares of
common stock in the aggregate amount of at least $2,000,000, then the balance of
the loans then outstanding will automatically convert into common stock at a
discount of 25% from the price per share of the offering. Interest on the loans
accrues at an annual rate of prime plus 1%.

In October 2000 (not reflected in the accompanying financial statements), the
Company executed loan agreements for a total of $1,500,000 with two major
shareholders. The terms of the loans call for the Company to repay the loans in
twelve equal installments beginning December 31, 2001. In the event the Company
sells additional shares of common stock in the aggregate amount of at least
$2,000,000, then the balance of the loans then outstanding will automatically
convert into common stock at a discount of 25% from the price per share of the
offering. Interest on the loans accrues at an annual rate of prime plus 1%.

The Company will require significant increases in revenue to cover operating
costs and achieve a profitable level of operations. The Company is making
initial sales of its new MediaBin software platform and expects to significantly
increase revenues in 2000 over 1999. The Company may also seek to raise
additional investment capital in order to fund operations.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1999

Revenues. Revenues decreased 45% to $422,600 in the three months ended September
30, 2000, from $763,200 in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of a
one-time software license fee of $500,000 reported during 1999.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 10% to $787,500 in
the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $876,200 in the same period in
1999. This resulted primarily from the reduction in operations of the Company's
United Kingdom subsidiary that more than offset an increase in salary expenses
for additional sales personnel in the United States.
<PAGE>

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 30% to
$892,100 in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $1,277,700 in 1999.
The decrease reflects the lower costs involved in software development,
primarily due to the reduced level of outside contractors that were used in 1999
to rapidly accelerate the development of the Company's MediaBin platform.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 4% to
$341,100 in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $354,700 in 1999.
This decrease is primarily due to a slight reduction in administrative salaries
in 2000 over 1999 and the expiration of an equipment lease.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) decreased to $(34,600) in the
three months ended September 30, 2000, from $22,900 in 1999. Interest income
decreased due to the lower level of cash invested and interest expense increased
due to the interest on the loans executed in March 2000.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1999

Revenues. Revenues increased 41% to $1,818,900 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, from $1,292,500 in 1999. This resulted from a significant
increase in license and service fees relating to the Company's MediaBin
software, which more than offset the planned reduction of non-MediaBin related
development fees.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 8% to $2,440,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $2,639,700 in 1999. This resulted
primarily from the reduction in operations of the Company's United Kingdom
subsidiary that more than offset an increase in salary expenses for additional
sales personnel in the United States.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 30% to
$2,732,200 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $3,898,300 in 1999.
The decrease reflects the lower costs involved in software development,
primarily due to the reduced level of outside contractors that were used in 1999
to rapidly accelerate the development of the Company's MediaBin platform.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 9% to
$1,107,700 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $1,215,600 in 1999.
This is primarily due to a one-time property tax assessment paid during 1999
that was refunded on appeal during 2000, a reduction in administrative salaries
and the expiration of an equipment lease.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) decreased to $(11,100) in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $144,800 in 1999. Interest income
decreased due to the lower level of cash invested and interest expense increased
due to the interest on the loans funded in May 2000.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), which
is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 2000. Because the
Company has no derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption of
the SFAS 133 will have a significant effect on the financial position or results
of operations of the Company.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"). SAB
101 summarizes certain of the SEC Staff's views in applying generally accepted
accounting principals to revenue recognition in financial statements. Although
we are currently evaluating the impact of SAB 101, we believe that our current
practices comply with SAB 101. However, should we determine that a change in
accounting policy is necessary such a change will be made in fourth quarter of
2000.
<PAGE>

Inflation

The effects of inflation on the Company's operations were not significant during
the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, and the effects
thereof are not considered to be of significance in the future. Generally,
throughout the periods discussed above, the changes in revenue have resulted
primarily from fluctuations in sales and expenditure levels, rather than price
changes.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable,
and accounts payable.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and certain other financial
instruments with various financial institutions. Company policy is designed to
limit exposure at any one institution. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments in our operations or investments and do not have
significant operations subject to fluctuations in commodities prices or foreign
currency exchange rates.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable
approximate their estimated fair values.
