     The undersigned registrant hereby amends Item 7 of its Current Report on
Form 8-K, dated October 31, 1996, which excluded certain financial statements
because they were not available at the time of filing, to read in its entirety
as follows:

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
        ---------------------------------

     (a) Financial statements of business acquired.

         See pages 4 through 16 hereof.

     (b) Pro forma financial information.

         See pages 17 through 21 hereof.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet was prepared as if the
acquisition had occurred on September 30, 1996. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995 were prepared as if the
acquisition had taken place on January 1, 1995.

     The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared utilizing the
accounting policies of the respective companies. The policies of the Company are
consistent with those of Sinper Corporation. The unaudited pro forma financial
information reflects the allocation of the purch price in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

     For the purposes of this presentation, these pro forma adjustments have
been made to the results of operations and balance sheet to provide information
as to how the acquisition might have affected the statement of operations and
balance sheet. This unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport
to be indicative of the results of operations that would have been obtained if
the operations had been combined as of the beginning of the period presented,
and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

     (c) Exhibits.

                     Independent Auditors' Report
                     ----------------------------

To The Directors of Sinper Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sinper Corporation (a
Florida corporation) as of April 30, 1996 and the related statements of
income and retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our report.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Sinper Corporation as of April
30, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole of Sinper Corporation. The accompanying statement of
costs of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the audit
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                      NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                APRIL 30, 1996

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations
- --------------------
The Company developed proprietary On Line Analytical Processing software
(OLAP) known as TM1 that works in conjunction with various spreadsheet
programs and supports decision tasks including planning, budgeting,
profitability analysis, product line analysis and financial information
systems. The Company markets TM1 worldwide primarily through licensed
resellers as well as licensing its technology for use in other OLAP 
systems implementations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a 
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the
statement of cash flows.

At April 30, 1996, the Company maintained substantially all of its cash and
cash equivalents in two accounts with a large financial institution. These
deposits were not covered by federal deposit insurance. In lieu of such 
coverage, the financial institution maintains insurance for the protection of
customer funds.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Revenue from sales is recognized when products are shipped to customers.
Royalty revenues are recognized when earned or according to the provisions of
the underlying licensing agreements.

Software Development Costs
- --------------------------
The Company's policy is to charge software development costs to operations until
technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, the costs of producing
product masters are capitalized. The amortization of the capitalized costs
commences when the products are ready for general release to customers. Quality
control, revisions and update costs are not considered software development
costs and are charged to operations.

The development costs of the product masters for the Company's current
generation of software were not significant and were charged to operations
in prior years.

Inventories
- -----------
The Company's products are assembled generally as needed for shipment.
Accordingly, inventories at year end were not significant.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 APRIL 30, 1996



Property, Equipment and Depreciation 
- ------------------------------------
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting
purposes is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives
of the respective assets, generally five years. For federal income tax purposes,
depreciation is computed using the modified accelerated cost recovery system.


Intangibles
- -----------
Intangibles are stated at acquisition cost and consist of legal costs related
to patent applications. Patents will be amortized on the straight-line basis
over the legal lives of the patents when granted.


Income Taxes
- ------------
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due or deferred related
primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities
for financial and tax reporting purposes. The Company prepares its tax returns
on the cash basis of accounting. Deferred taxes represent the future
consequences of differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when
the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 -- MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consist of a U.S. Treasury note, at 7%, maturing in
September 1996. The Company intends to hold this security to maturity and as a
result it is carried at amortized cost. The security is held by a financial
institution and is fully insured. At April 30, 1996, the carrying and fair
values of the security were $302,457 and $302,016, respectively. Fair value was
determined based on published market quotations as of April 30, 1996.

NOTE 3 -- PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

major customers totaled $171,744 or 45% of net accounts receivable.

NOTE 7 - DEFERRED ROYALTY REVENUE

In November 1995, the Company granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual
license to use and distribute the Company's OLAP software, in source code and
object form, to a software vendor unrelated to the Company. The licensing
agreement provided for royalties of 15% of revenues derived by the licensee
from the use of the software and for the payment of a certain deposit to be
applied to future royalties due the Company. On the later of January 1, 2001,
or the first date that the licensee has paid royalties of $4 million, the
licensee will be deemed to have a fully-paid license in perpetuity and no other
royalties will be due and the Company will have no additional software support
responsibilities.

At April 30, 1996, the Company had received deposits totaling $1.375 million of
which it recognized as revenue the non-refundable portion of $250,000.

NOTE 8 - TERRITORIAL ROYALTIES EXPENSE

The Company has granted exclusive licenses or distribution rights within
certain geographical areas to two resellers. The first arrangements is
described herein, the other arrangement is described in Note 9 below.

One reseller has exclusive distribution rights in Europe except for Germany,
Austria and German-speaking Switzerland, where the rights are non-exclusive.
Under the agreement, the Company is required to pay royalties to this reseller
on sales made by others within the exclusive territories equivalent to 50%
on sales of standard products and 25% on sales of non-standard products. In
addition, the Company is required to pay royalties of 20% on sales made by
others within the non-exclusive territories. The agreement expires on October
31, 1997. The Company has the right to terminate the exclusive distribution
rights should the reseller not fulfill specified minimum sales quotas.

                                 APRIL 30, 1996

NOTE 9 -- PREPAID ROYALTIES EXPENSE

In November 1995, the Company executed an agreement terminating previously
granted exclusive distribution rights to a reseller. The agreement provides for
royalties to be paid on revenues received by the Company from customers outside
the United States, Canada and Sweden during the three years ending March 1999. 
The royalty payments will be based on 25%, 20% and 15% of revenues received 
during the first, second and third year, respectively.

In accordance with the termination agreement, the Company paid $100,000 to and
credited $143,337 in receivables due from the reseller. Of these amounts,
$155,172 was recorded as prepaid royalties and $88,165 was charged to 
operations.

NOTE 10 -- DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities,
measured using enacted tax rates.

At April 30, 1996, net deferred tax assets of $349,000 arose primarily from
temporary differences related to the recognition of deferred royalties,
accounts receivable and payable and depreciation expense.

NOTE 11 -- PENSION PLANS

The Company maintains a qualified deferred compensation plan and a defined
contribution pension plan covering substantially all employees. Company and
employee contributions to either plan are voluntary. For the year ended April
30, 1996, the Company elected to contribute $11,102 to the pension plan
consisting of 3% of covered compensation.

NOTE 12 -- COMMITMENTS

The Company leases its facilities under a noncancelable operating lease
expiring in March 1997. At April 30, 1996, the minimum rental commitments under
this lease totaled $63,800. The lease has a one year month-to-month renewal
option. The Company will be liable to the landlord for $23,400 for costs of
modifying the premises if the second year option is not exercised. These costs
are to be amortized at $1,950 per month during the option year. During the year
ended April 30, 1996, $50,885 was charged as rent expense to operations.

NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

At April 30, 1996, the Company was negotiating stock option agreements with
four of its executives. The agreements had not be finalized as to the date of
this report.

Subsequent to year-end, the Company accepted certain terms and conditions for a
proposed issuance of additional convertible preferred stock. An investment
company proposed to provide a capital infusion of $2.5 million to be used for
working capital purposes. The significant terms and conditions include
anti-dilution provisions, appointment of a member to the board of directors,
limiting the board to five members, assigning voting rights to the preferred
shares equal to the rights of common stock shares, specified participation and
co-sale rights, and significant preference entitlements in the event of the
liquidation, sale or merger of the Company.

Also subsequent to year-end, the Company entered into negotiations for
licensing its OLAP software products to an unrelated software distributor for
inclusion in the distributor's own line of software products. Under the
agreement, the Company is to develop compatible versions of its TM1 products.
The distributor would have non-exclusive worldwide rights to use, distribute
and sublicense the object code of existing and future TM1 products under its
own name and trademarks. The proposed agreement requires the distributor to
advance $1 million to the Company within one year, payable in four installments
of $250,000 beginning with the signing of the agreement. The advanced monies
will be offset against earned future royalties and may become refundable or be
forfeited by failures of either party to meet specified conditions, such as
product delivery and performance.

                      CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


ADJUSTMENT REFERENCES:


(1) COMPLETED TECHNOLOGY-OLAP
      The current Sinper completed technology runs on a PC platform and is
written in Visual basic. The income forecast method was used in the valuation
of the completed technology by discounting the present value of the projected
cash flows generated by this product over its remaining economic life. The
completed technology will be amortized over a 5 year period during which time
Applix will continue to sell the product. The annual amortization will be
approximately $96,000.

(2) IN-PROCESS R&D TECHNOLOGY
      The Company intends to expend significant research and development effort
to create a new product that is run on a 32 bit UNIX platform based on the
acquired technology. The Company considers this UNIX based technology to be
in-process research and development for the following reasons: 1) the current
product is not what Applix expects to ultimately market; 2) the product must be
rewritten to run on the new UNIX platform; and 3) there is not a detailed
design for the product that is to be developed. This UNIX based in-process
technology does not qualify for capitalization under SFAS 86. The income
forecast method was used in the valuation of this technology. Due to the time
and effort necessary to complete the development of this UNIX product, and
numerous uncertainties related to the successful development of the product at
the time of the acquisition, the proper accounting treatment is to immediately
expense $10,552,000 of the purchase price as in-process R&D technology.

<TABLE>
(3) ALLOCATION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE
      The aggregate purchase price ($11.5 million) of Sinper consists of cash
of $5.0 million and common stock valued at $5.0 million and the estimated
acquisition costs of approximately $1.5 million. Since the combined valuation
of the completed technology (PC based), in-process R&D technology (UNIX based),
and net book value of assets acquired exceeds the purchase price, the
difference is allocated as negative goodwill. The following shows the
allocation of the purchase price:

                   <S>                              <C>
                   Completed Technology             $   471
                   In-Process R&D Technology         10,552
                   Net Book Value of Assets             477
                                                    -------
                     Aggregate Purchase Price       $11,500

(5) THE FIXED ASSET COST IS ADJUSTED TO NET BOOK VALUE AND ACCUMULATED
DEPRECIATION IS ELIMINATED.
