1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viasoft, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Viasoft" or the "Company") after elimination
of all significant  intercompany  balances and  transactions.  The  accompanying
unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
and the  instructions  to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,  they do not  include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
("GAAP") for complete financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments  (which include only normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a
fair  presentation  of the results for the interim  periods  presented have been
made.  The results for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 may
not  necessarily  be  indicative  of the  results  for the  entire  year.  These
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998.

     EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENT

     In February 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share," which supersedes  Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 15, the  existing  authoritative  guidance.  SFAS No. 128 is  effective  for
financial  statements  for periods  ending after  December 15, 1997 and requires
restatement  of all  prior-period  earnings  per share data  presented.  The new
statement  modifies the  calculations of primary and fully diluted  earnings per
share and  replaces  them with basic and  diluted  earnings  per  share.  Shares
issuable  upon the  exercise  of  employee  stock  options  that are  considered
anti-dilutive  are not  included in the  weighted  average  number of common and
common share equivalents outstanding.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND LICENSING AGREEMENTS

    SHL SYSTEMHOUSE CO. ("SYSTEMHOUSE")

    In July  1998,  the  Company  acquired  exclusive  worldwide  marketing  and
development rights to SHL TRANSFORM,  a knowledge-driven  process management and
productivity   software   toolset   and  its   integrated   process   management
methodologies,  from the Online  Knowledge  Group  (OKG) of  Canadian-based  SHL
Systemhouse  Co. As part of the  agreement,  the  Company had the option to hire
certain  employees of  Systemhouse  in October 1998,  had the option to purchase
certain  furniture and equipment used by the Systemhouse  development  employees
and has the exclusive right to remarket the licensed  software to  Systemhouse's
existing  customers.  As a result, the agreement was accounted for as a purchase
in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion Nos. 16 and 17.

     The transaction was structured as a worldwide perpetual source code license
and is exclusive,  subject to Systemhouse's retained right to use the technology
for its own internal use and in its consulting  business.  Viasoft will also pay
certain  royalties to  Systemhouse  based on sales of  methodology  and training
components.

     In  connection  with the  acquisition  of SHL, the Company  allocated  $5.0
million of the purchase price to in-process  research and development  projects,
$1.2 million to developed  technology and $700,000 to other  intangible  assets.

                                       7
<PAGE>
This allocation to in-process research and development  represents the estimated
fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to incomplete  projects.  A
discount  range of 37.5% to 42.5% was used for valuing the  in-process  research
and  development  projects.  Other  intangible  assets  consisted  of  assembled
workforce and cost in excess of net assets  acquired.  The  purchased  software,
assembled  workforce  and  cost in  excess  of net  assets  acquired  are  being
amortized on a straight-line basis over five, six and five years, respectively.

     The Company  originally planned to integrate the technology and methodology
into its  entire  product  and  service  lines to  deliver  repeatable,  defined
business  solutions to its  customers.  The first of two projects was to migrate
all of  the  Company's  existing  business  solution  processes  to the  process
management toolset. This project was estimated to cost $500,000. The integration
of the Company's existing business solution processes was substantially complete
as of December 31, 1998 and did cost approximately  $500,000. The second project
was the re-design,  development and testing  necessary to migrate the underlying
process management tool from 16-bit architecture to 32-bit architecture in order
to integrate the tool with the  Company's  existing and planned  products.  This
project was estimated to cost  approximately  $2.6 million and to be complete at
the end of calendar 1999.

     In  connection  with the  Company's  reorganization  and change in business
model,  the  plans  for  this  product,   Visual  Process, are  currently  being
reevaluated. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company will finalize
future plans for the product and will determine the value of the assets, if any,
based  on the new  plan  for the  product.  There  is risk  associated  with the
completion  of any  research  and  development  project.  The Company  cannot be
assured that either of the in-process  projects will meet with  technological or
commercial success. If the research and development  projects are not completed,
the sales and  profitability of the Company may be adversely  affected in future
periods. The failure of any particular  individual  in-process project would not
materially impact the Company's  financial  condition,  results of operations or
cash flows.

     ERASOFT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("ERASOFT")

     On January 12, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  shares of
capital stock of EraSoft for cash and certain contingent  payments pursuant to a
stock purchase  agreement with the stockholders of EraSoft.  EraSoft  developed,
marketed and supported  year 2000  assessment  and analysis  software  tools for
desktop computing. EraSoft was founded in 1996 and was headquartered in Calgary,
Alberta, Canada.

     The  terms  of  the   agreement   with  EraSoft   provide  for   additional
consideration  to be paid if the revenue  from  licenses of  EraSoft's  products
exceeds certain targeted levels between the date of the acquisition and June 30,
2000.  In  addition,  the  former  stockholders  of  EraSoft  will also  receive
additional  consideration based on revenue from EraSoft products licensed during
the period from the acquisition date to June 30, 2000. Additional  consideration
will be paid in cash and  recorded  as an  adjustment  to cost in  excess of net
assets acquired when earned and will be amortized either using the revenue ratio
or straight-line  method through June 30, 2000, whichever results in the greater
amount of amortization  during the period.  In the third quarter of fiscal 1999,
the first of  targeted  license  revenue  levels  was  achieved  and  additional
consideration of $625,000 was paid to the former stockholders.

     LICENSING AGREEMENTS

     As  part  of  the  Company's   strategy  to  enter  into  the  desktop  and
client/server  arena,  the Company entered into license  agreements with several
software  companies in the second  quarter of fiscal 1998 and January,  1998 for
the rights to distribute  additional  desktop  software tools.  The Company made
payments to these  companies for development of the software tools in accordance
with the Company's requirements as set out in the agreements. Payments were made
based on the effective date of each agreement and delivery and acceptance of the
different  versions of the products,  all of which occurred during the Company's
fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 1998. The Company  expensed these payments,
approximately $3.2 million, as research and development during the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. In addition,  the Company pays royalties to each software vendor
based upon sales activity as set out in the agreements.

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

     OVERVIEW

     The Company  derives its revenues  primarily  from  software  license fees,
software maintenance fees and professional services fees. The Company's software
is licensed primarily to Global 5000 companies and similarly-sized  business and
governmental  organizations  worldwide.  Professional  services  are provided in
conjunction with software  products and are also provided  separately to similar
large  organizations.  The Company's  products and services are marketed through
its domestic and international direct sales  organizations,  through a number of
foreign independent  distributors  located in Europe, the Far East, South Africa
and Latin America,  and through a reseller channel  established during the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 primarily to sell the OnMark 2000 product line.

     Revenue is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 and SOP
98-9,  "Software  Revenue  Recognition."  Accordingly,   revenue  from  software
licenses is  recognized  when  delivery of the software has  occurred,  a signed
non-cancelable  license  agreement  has been  received  from the  customer or an
executed  purchase  order from a reseller  after  receipt of an signed  reseller
agreement  and  any  remaining  obligations  under  the  license  agreement  are
determined to be  insignificant.  Revenue from software  license fees related to
the  Company's  obligation to provide  certain  post-contract  customer  support
without  charge for the first year of the license is unbundled  from the license
fee at its fair value and is  deferred  and  recognized  straight-line  over the
contract  support  period.  Revenue from annual or other renewals of maintenance
contracts   (including   long-term   contracts)   is  deferred  and   recognized
straight-line  over  the  term  of the  contracts.  Revenues  from  professional
services  fees are  recognized  generally  as  related  services  are  provided.
Professional services do not involve significant customization,  modification or
production of the licensed software.

     RESTRUCTURING

     In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company  established and began the
implementation  of a cost  reduction and  restructuring  plan for the purpose of
aligning  expenses  with a  decrease  in  forecasted  revenues  and to allow the
business to invest in its non-year 2000  solutions.  In April 1999,  the Company
announced a  reorganization  of its  operations to transition  the business to a
solutions-driven  model  focused on  e-business  enablement.  The  Company  also
announced  further cost reductions in connection with its ongoing  restructuring
plan, including an additional reduction in force of approximately 20%.

     As part of the reorganization,  the Company has increased its investment in
its professional  services  organization by creating a dedicated sales force and
regionalizing  delivery.  The domestic  sales  organization  was  reorganized to
better  support  sales of e-business  solutions and enhance  support of existing
customers.  The  development  organization  was realigned to focus on two areas:
developing  technology to support e-business  enablement  services and enhancing
the value of Viasoft core products for existing customers.

     In the first  quarter,  the  pre-tax  restructuring  charge  taken was $4.8
million.  This  restructuring  charge  covered  $3.1 million for  severance  and
related costs for a reduction in workforce of approximately 10% of the Company's
550  employees  worldwide;  $800,000 for office  consolidation  costs  including
leasehold termination payments and other facility exit costs for certain offices
worldwide which were unrelated to the Company's core business;  and $900,000 for
the write down of intangible assets which had become impaired as determined by a
net realizable value test based on future forecasted  revenues.  As of March 31,
1999,  approximately 74 employees were separated from the Company and $1,631,000
in  severance  and related  costs had been paid out or  incurred  related to the
first  quarter   charge.   Approximately   $27,000  had  been  used  for  office
consolidation costs as of March 31, 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>
     The  Company  anticipates  taking a charge  of  approximately  $9.0 to $9.5
million  in the  fourth  quarter  of fiscal  1999 in  connection  with its April
reorganization.  This  charge  will  relate  to  severance  for a  reduction  in
workforce of approximately  20% of its 500 employees  worldwide,  a writedown in
accordance  with SFAS No.  121 of  certain  long-lived  assets  based on the net
present  value of future  cash flows  which  became  impaired as a result of the
Company's  transition  to  its  new  business  model,  a  writedown  of  certain
capitalized  software  which  was  determined  to  be  impaired  through  a  net
realizable  value test based on future  forecasted  revenues also as a result of
the Company's  transition to its new business model and additional facility exit
costs.

     The discussion of results of operations for the nine months ended March 31,
1999 below  excludes the effect of these  restructuring  charges and a purchased
in-process research and development charge of approximately $5.0 million pre-tax
(See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) recorded in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND MARCH 31, 1998

     REVENUES

     Total  revenues  were  $25,808,000  for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, a
decrease of 4% from  $26,805,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Software
license fees were $10,693,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of
27% from $14,720,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Software license fees
decreased  as a result of the  worldwide  slow down in demand for the  Company's
year 2000 mainframe  software  tools.  In addition,  license revenue from OnMark
2000, the Company's desktop year 2000 software tool,  declined year over year in
the  domestic  marketplace.  OnMark  2000 sales were up in the third  quarter of
fiscal 1999  compared  to the same  period in fiscal  1998 in the  international
marketplace  primarily  because  it  was  released  on a  limited  basis  to the
international   market  in  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1998.  The  Company
anticipates  that desktop  license  revenues  will  continue to be a significant
percentage  of license  revenues  in the near term and,  as a result,  mainframe
license  revenues  may  continue to decrease  year over year.  The Company  also
anticipates  that OnMark 2000 license  revenues  will decline  domestically  and
internationally as the millennium draws near.

     Maintenance  fees were  $8,407,000  in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, an
increase  of 17% from  $7,216,000  in the  third  quarter  of fiscal  1998.  The
increase  was due to new  software  licenses,  increases in the fees charged for
annual maintenance,  and customer system upgrades. With the Company's entry into
the  desktop  software  market  with  the  OnMark  2000  product  line,  it  has
experienced that a large number of OnMark customers do not purchase  maintenance
services.   As  a  result,  the  Company  anticipates  a  continued  slowing  in
maintenance  revenue  growth to the extent  that  license  sales of OnMark  2000
continue to remain a significant percentage of revenues.

     Professional  services fees were  $6,693,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
1999,  an increase of 38% from  $4,865,000  in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
The growth in  professional  services  fee revenue is a result of the  Company's
decision in late fiscal 1998 to move from providing only enablement  services to
offering  a  broader  range  of  solutions,   including   large-scale  projects.
Professional services fee revenue has increased year over year but has decreased
on a  consecutive  quarter  basis over the past two  quarters.  The Company made
several   significant   changes  to  its   services   business   in  the  recent
reorganization   and  management   believes  it  may   experience   weakness  in
professional  services  fee revenue and  margins as it  transitions  to this new
business  model.  The Company will  continue to closely  monitor its progress in
this area from both a revenue generation and profitability standpoint.

     COST OF REVENUES

     Cost of software license and maintenance  fees,  which includes  royalties,
cost of customer support and packaging and product documentation, was $3,785,000
in the third  quarter of fiscal 1999,  an increase of 8% from  $3,509,000 in the
third quarter of fiscal 1998. The cost of license and maintenance fees increased
due to increases in the number of customer  support  personnel and their related
costs,  higher salaries and outside  consultant  costs,  and amortization of the

                                       10
<PAGE>
purchased research and development from the January 1998 EraSoft acquisition and
the  July  1998  Systemhouse  product  acquisition  (See  Note  2  of  Notes  to
Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  Gross  margins on  software  license  and
maintenance  fees  decreased to 80% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared
to 84% in the third  quarter of fiscal 1998.  The gross margin  decreased due to
increased  sales of products  requiring  royalties to third  parties,  primarily
OnMark, as well as the decrease in revenues.

     Cost of professional services fees, which consists principally of personnel
costs,  third  party  subcontracting  costs,  and  other  costs  related  to the
professional  services  business,  was $5,965,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
1999,  an increase of 42% from  $4,203,000  in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
Management  expects that the use of subcontractors  will continue within the new
business model in order to staff large projects. The cost increase was offset in
part by lower salaries and related costs as internal services headcount declined
year over year. The gross margin for professional  services was 11% in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 14% in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  The
increase in expenses was primarily a result of additional subcontractor costs to
support the increase in revenues,  primarily from large consulting projects. The
decrease in margins is primarily the result of certain non-profitable  solutions
which were discontinued as part of the Company's reorganization.  Going forward,
the Company's new solution driven business model requires additional  investment
in internal headcount and infrastructure during the remainder of fiscal 1999 and
into fiscal 2000.

     SALES AND MARKETING

     Sales  and  marketing  expenses,   which  consist  primarily  of  salaries,
commissions  and related  benefits  and  administrative  costs  allocated to the
Company's sales and marketing personnel, were $9,987,000 in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999, an decrease of 9% from  $10,989,000  in the third quarter of fiscal
1998. Sales and marketing  expenses as a percentage of total revenues was 39% in
the third  quarter of fiscal  1999 and 41% in the third  quarter of 1998.  These
decreases  are  attributable  primarily  to a  decrease  in sales and  marketing
personnel and the associated  costs,  lower marketing and promotion  costs,  and
lower reseller commissions offset by an increase in sales training costs.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development  expenditures consist primarily of personnel costs
of the research and development  staff and the facilities,  computing,  benefits
and other  administrative  costs  allocated to such  personnel  and  third-party
development costs. Research and development  expenditures were $2,933,000 in the
third  quarter of fiscal 1999,  compared to  $6,600,000  in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998. As a percentage of total revenues,  research and development  costs
were 11% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 25% for the same period
in fiscal 1998. In the third quarter of fiscal 1998,  the company  incurred $3.2
million in third party development costs related to the OnMark product (see note
2  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).   There  were  no  third-party
development  costs in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. To a lesser extent,  the
decrease was also a result of a reduced  number of employees and all the related
costs as a result of the  reduction in force  announced in the first  quarter of
fiscal 1999.  This  reduction  was partially  offset by  additional  third-party
contractor costs.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     General  and  administrative  expenses  include  the costs of  finance  and
accounting,  legal,  human resources,  corporate  information  systems and other
administrative  functions of the Company.  General and  administrative  expenses
were  $2,823,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999,  compared to $1,892,000 in
the third quarter of fiscal 1998. General and administrative  expenses increased
49%  year  over  year.   As  a  percentage  of  total   revenues,   general  and
administrative expenses were 11% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to
7% in the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1998.  These  increases  are a result  of
additional  administrative  personnel and their related  costs,  general  salary
increases and amortization of intangibles related to the EraSoft and Systemhouse
acquisitions.

                                       11

     OTHER INCOME(EXPENSE)

     Other income was $432,000 in the third  quarter of fiscal 1999  compared to
$1,364,000  in the same period in fiscal  1998.  The decrease is a result of the
decline in interest  income from lower  investment  balances and interest  rates
compared  to the  same  period  a year ago as well as  foreign  exchange  losses
incurred due to the dollar strengthening against European currencies.

     INCOME TAX BENEFIT/PROVISION

     The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 35% in the third  quarter of fiscal
1999, compared to 34%, for the same period in fiscal 1998.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND MARCH 31, 1998

     REVENUES

     Total revenues were $80,818,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 as
compared  to  $81,041,000  for the first nine  months of fiscal  1998.  Software
license  fees were  $34,166,000  in the first  nine  months  of fiscal  1999,  a
decrease of 24% from  $44,928,000  in the first nine months of fiscal 1998.  The
decrease in software  license  fees for the year related to the slow down in the
worldwide demand for the Company's year 2000 mainframe  software tools. Sales of
the  Company's  desktop  product,  OnMark 2000,  which was released in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998, has partially  replaced the lost revenues from mainframe
sales and represents a significant  percentage of license revenues.  The Company
anticipates  that desktop  license  revenues  will  continue to be a significant
percentage  of license  revenues  in the near term and,  as a result,  mainframe
license  revenues  may  continue to decrease  year over year.  The Company  also
anticipates   that  OnMark  2000  license  revenues  will  continue  to  decline
domestically and internationally as the millennium draws near.

     Maintenance  fees were $25,549,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1999,
an increase of 20% from $21,203,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1998. The
increase  was due to new  software  licenses,  increases in the fees charged for
annual  maintenance and customer system upgrades.  With the Company's entry into
the  desktop  software  market  with  the  OnMark  2000  product  line,  it  has
experienced that a large number of OnMark customers do not purchase  maintenance
services. As a result, there could be some erosion in maintenance revenue growth
to the extent that license sales of OnMark 2000 continue to grow as a percentage
of revenues.

     Professional  services  fees were  $21,071,000  in the first nine months of
fiscal  1999,  an increase of 42% from  $14,827,000  in the first nine months of
fiscal 1998. The growth in professional  services fee revenue is a result of the
Company's  decision in late fiscal 1998 to move from providing  only  enablement
services  to  offering  a  broader  range of  solutions,  including  large-scale
projects. Professional services fee revenue has increased year over year but has
decreased on a consecutive quarter basis over the past two quarters. The Company
made  several  significant  changes  to its  services  business  in  the  recent
reorganization   and  management   believes  it  may   experience   weakness  in
professional  services  fee revenue and  margins as it  transitions  to this new
business  model.  The Company will  continue to closely  monitor its progress in
this area from both a revenue generation and profitability standpoint.

     COST OF REVENUES

     Cost of software  license and maintenance fees was $12,140,000 in the first
nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of 51% from $8,031,000 in the first nine
months of fiscal 1998.  Gross margins on software  license and maintenance  fees
decreased to 80% in the first nine months of fiscal 1999  compared to 88% in the

                                       12
<PAGE>
first  nine  months  of fiscal  1998.  Management  anticipates  that the cost of
license and maintenance fees will continue to increase and the gross margin will
continue  to  decrease  year  over year as long as sales of  products  requiring
royalties  to third  parties,  primarily  OnMark  2000,  continue to represent a
significant  portion of license fee revenue.  Royalty expenses in the first nine
months  of  fiscal  1999  increased  64% over the same  period  in  fiscal  1998
primarily  due to the  increase  in sales of the OnMark 2000  product  line as a
percentage of total license sales. Other factors contributing to the increase in
cost of software license and maintenance  fees and decline in margins,  included
increases in the number of customer  support  personnel and their related costs,
increased salaries,  amortization of the purchased research and development from
the January  1998  EraSoft  acquisition  and the July 1998  Systemhouse  product
acquisition  (See  Note 2 of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements)  and
increased OnMark 2000 related costs,  including  outside  consultants to provide
customer support and product documentation and packaging.

     Cost of professional services fees was $18,064,000 in the first nine months
of fiscal 1999, an increase of 36% from  $13,295,000 in the first nine months of
fiscal  1998.  The  increase in expenses  was  primarily a result of  additional
subcontractor  costs to support the increase in revenues,  primarily  from large
consulting  projects.  Management  expects that the use of  subcontractors  will
continue  within the new business  model in order to staff large  projects.  The
cost increase was offset in part by lower salaries and related costs as internal
services  headcount  declined year over year. The gross margin for  professional
services was 14% in the first nine months of fiscal 1999  compared to 10% in the
first nine  months of fiscal  1998.  The  increase in margins is  primarily  the
result of the renewed focus by management on profitability and the completion of
a non-profitable  large fixed fee completed  contract late in fiscal 1998. Going
forward,  the Company's new solution driven  business model requires  additional
investment  in internal  headcount  and  infrastructure  during the remainder of
fiscal 1999 and into fiscal 2000.

     SALES AND MARKETING

     Sales and marketing  expenses were  $32,331,000 in the first nine months of
fiscal  1999,  an  increase of 7% from  $30,176,000  in the first nine months of
fiscal 1998. This increase is attributable primarily to an increase in personnel
and the associated costs, higher salaries, a $1.0 million bad debt provision and
increased  marketing and promotion costs. These increases were offset in part by
decreases in  commissions  and bonuses due to the decrease in license  revenues.
Sales and marketing  expenses as a percentage  of total  revenues was 40% in the
first nine months of fiscal 1999 and 37% in the first nine months of 1998.  This
increase is due primarily to the increase in costs noted above.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development  expenditures  were  $11,155,000 in the first nine
months of fiscal  1999,  compared  to  $12,703,000  in the first nine  months of
fiscal 1998. Research and development  expenses decreased 12% year over year. As
a percentage of total revenues,  research and development  costs were 14% in the
first nine months of fiscal  1999  compared to 16% for the same period in fiscal
1998. In fiscal 1998,  the Company paid $3.2 million for  purchased  third-party
development  of certain  technologies  acquired for the OnMark 2000 product line
(See  Note  2  of  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  Third-party
development  charges in the same period of fiscal 1999 were significantly  lower
than those incurred in fiscal 1998. The decreases noted above were also a result
of lower  bonuses and  recruiting  costs offset by increases in salaries and the
cost of third-party consultants.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     General  and  administrative  expenses  were  $7,962,000  in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999, compared to $5,794,000 in the first nine months of fiscal
1998.  General and  administrative  expenses  increased 37% year over year. This
increase is a result of  additional  administrative  personnel and their related
costs,  general salary increases and amortization of intangibles  related to the
EraSoft and Systemhouse acquisitions. As a percentage of total revenues, general
and  administrative  expenses  were 10% in the first nine  months of fiscal 1999
compared  to 7% in the first  nine  months  of fiscal  1998.  This  increase  is
primarily  due to the  overall  decrease  in  revenues  year  over  year and the
additional personnel costs.

     OTHER INCOME(EXPENSE)

     Other  income  was  $2,745,000  in the first  nine  months  of fiscal  1999
compared to  $3,334,000  in the same period in fiscal  1998.  The  decrease is a
result of foreign  exchange  losses  incurred  due to the  dollar  strengthening
against European currencies.

     INCOME TAX BENEFIT/PROVISION

     The Company's effective tax rate was 35% in the first nine months of fiscal
1999, compared to 35%, for the same period in fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At  March  31,  1999,  the  Company  had  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and
investments  of  $86,923,000,   representing  a  decrease  of  $16,682,000  from
$103,605,000 at June 30, 1998. The decrease is primarily a result of the cost of
the share  purchases  under  the  Company's  stock  repurchase  program  and the
Systemhouse   acquisition  (See  Note  2  of  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements).

     The Company's net cash provided by operating  activities for the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 was $7,039,000  compared to cash provided by operations of
$9,015,000  for the first  nine  months of fiscal  1998.  Net cash  provided  by
operations  for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 was  composed  primarily of
the non-cash  charges for the  purchased  in-process  research  and  development
charge, the restructuring charge and depreciation and amortization offset by the
net loss for the year and a net decrease in working capital.  For the first nine
months of fiscal 1998, net cash provided from operations was comprised primarily
of net income  and  non-cash  adjustments  offset by a net  decrease  in working
capital.

     The Company's investing activities used cash of $2,756,000 and $68,443,000,
in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively.  In fiscal 1999,
cash was  used  for  investment  and  capital  purchases  and  payments  for the
acquisition of the Systemhouse and Erasoft businesses offset by cash provided by
investment  maturities.  In  fiscal  1998,  the  primary  use of  cash  was  for
investment  purchases and cash paid for the Erasoft  acquisition  (see Note 2 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements).

     The Company's  financing  activities  used cash of $12,523,000 and provided
cash  of  $79,925,000  in the  first  nine  months  of  fiscal  1999  and  1998,
respectively. In fiscal 1999, cash was used for the purchase of 1,625,000 shares
of treasury  stock through the Company's  stock  repurchase  program.  In fiscal
1998,  cash was primarily  provided by the  completion  of the Company's  public
offering of common stock net of payments for offering costs.

     As of March 31, 1999, the Company did not have any material commitments for
capital expenditures.  For the remainder of fiscal 1999, the Company anticipates
capital expenditures of approximately  $700,000,  of which $200,000 is estimated
to be spent for two internal  software systems projects and the remainder is for
computer  hardware  and  software to continue  to update the  Company's  network
infrastructure.  As of March 31,  1999,  the Company had  repurchased  1,760,000
shares of its common stock of the  2,500,000  shares  authorized by the Board of
the Directors.

     The Company  expects that its existing  working  capital will be sufficient
for the foreseeable  future to meet its capital and liquidity needs for existing
operations and general corporate  purposes,  as well as the addition of services
personnel,  strategic  marketing  initiatives,  and  potential  acquisitions  of
products, technologies and businesses.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE FLUCTUATIONS

     The results of  operations of the Company for the periods  discussed  above
have  not  been   significantly   affected  by  inflation  or  foreign  currency
fluctuations.   Sales  made  through  the  Company's  foreign  distributors  are
denominated  in  U.S.  dollars  except  in  Italy  and  Spain,  where  they  are
denominated in lira and pesetas,  respectively.  Sales by the Company's  foreign
subsidiaries  are  principally  denominated  in the  currencies of the countries
where sales are made. The Company  experienced losses of approximately  $587,000
from  foreign  currency  fluctuations  in the nine months  ended March 31, 1999,
primarily  due to the strength of the US dollar as compared to certain  European
currencies.

     The  Company  has not to date  sought to hedge the  risks  associated  with
fluctuations in foreign  exchange rates.  The Company  continues to evaluate the
relative  costs and benefits of hedging and may seek to hedge these risks in the
future,  if  appropriate.  Gains  and  losses  relating  to  translation  of the
financial  statements of the Company's  foreign  subsidiaries  are included as a
separate  component  of  stockholders'  equity  in  the  Company's  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS

     The  Company is aware of the  problems  associated  with the year 2000 date
change and has  established  and continues to evaluate and update its program to
address any potential year 2000  compliance  issues relating to its (i) internal
operating systems,  (ii) vendors,  facilities and other third parties, and (iii)
software products that it licenses to customers.

     INTERNAL OPERATING SYSTEMS

     The Company  has  completed  its  assessment  of all of its major  internal
operating systems (including non-IT assets) and is continuing to monitor any new
additions  to its  internal  operating  systems for year 2000  compliance.  As a
result of such assessment and because of changing business requirements as well,
the Company is currently installing new enterprise-wide  systems relating to the
Company's accounting and customer  relationship  management needs, each of which
has been warranted by the vendor to be year 2000 compliant. The customer support
and order processing portions of the customer relationship management system are
currently up and  operational,  on a worldwide  basis,  as of December 31, 1998.
Work on  this  project  continues,  with  plans  to add  new  functionality  and
integration between components within the system, but the previous non-year 2000
compliant customer  relationship  management systems have already been replaced.
The business  needs of the Company  required  that the  installation  of the new
accounting  system be implemented  in several  phases.  The Company  expects the
first phase,  which will include the  installation  of an upgraded and year 2000
compliant  system,  to be  completed  by June  30,  1999.  The  Company  is also
reviewing its desktop year 2000 concerns, which include software packages and PC
hardware. The Company is using its own product suite, OnMark 2000, to assess its
desktop  concerns.  The Company  expects this assessment to be completed by June
30, 1999. The Company  anticipates that all required  remediation and testing of
its internal  operating  systems for year 2000  compliance  will be completed by
October 31, 1999. If the Company's major internal operating systems are not year
2000 compliant in a timely manner,  the Company's  business  operations would be
materially  and  adversely  affected  and the  Company  may be required to incur
unanticipated  expenses to remedy any problems not addressed by these compliance
efforts.

     VENDORS, FACILITIES AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES

     The Company  continues to evaluate the year 2000  readiness of its material
vendors,  facilities and  distributors and resellers with respect to IT, as well
as non-IT,  assets.  The Company  has  forwarded  questionnaires  to many of its
material vendors, its primary office locations,  distributors and resellers,  is
checking  information made publicly available by these parties and is evaluating
responses on a  case-by-case  basis.  The Company will place the emphasis of its
vendor  review  on its  primary  vendors,  such as  payroll  services,  computer
services and phone systems and principal office locations. In the event that the
Company's  distributors  and resellers  are not year 2000  compliant in a timely

                                       15
<PAGE>
manner, the Company could experience material adverse  consequences with respect
to the  marketing  and sale of its  products  and,  as a result,  the  Company's
business,  results of operations and financial condition would be materially and
adversely  affected.  If the Company's  major vendors or facilities are not year
2000 compliant in a timely manner,  the Company's  business  operations would be
materially  and  adversely  affected  and the  Company  may be required to incur
unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems.

     PRODUCTS

     The  Company's  development  of products  and  technology  is  accomplished
through (i) in-house  development,  and (ii)  acquisition  or license from third
parties.  The Company  continues to evaluate and update its assessment of all of
its  internally  developed  and  third-party  developed  products  for year 2000
readiness,  and believes that all of such products have been designed to satisfy
the Company's year 2000 specifications.  The Company now provides information on
its Web page to update customers and other  interested  parties on the year 2000
status of its software products. As part of its ongoing evaluation,  the Company
has developed an internal  project plan that  contemplates the re-testing of its
software  products  pursuant  to a  methodology  designed  specifically  for the
purpose of detecting  year 2000  errors.  Actual  testing  began in March and is
currently  estimated  to be  completed  in July.  The Company  will  continue to
monitor and test newly developed or acquired  products for year 2000 compliance.
In the event that any of the  Company's  developed or acquired  products are not
year  2000  compliant  in a timely  manner,  the  Company's  sales  may  decline
materially,  customers  and those with whom they do business may assert  product
liability and other claims,  and the Company's  business,  results of operations
and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

     CONTINGENCY PLANS

     To date, the Company has not completed its  contingency  plans in the event
that  its  internal  operating  systems,  vendors,   facilities,   distributors,
resellers or products, or any other components of its business operations,  fail
to operate in  compliance  with the year 2000 century  date change.  The Company
expects  to  develop  its  preliminary  contingency  plans by July 31,  1999 and
expects to be in a position to finalize those plans and begin implementation, if
required, by October 31, 1999.

     BUDGET FOR YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE PROJECT

     The  Company  has  budgeted  approximately  $6.7  million for its year 2000
compliance program and has incurred approximately $4.9 million of these expenses
to date.  These costs include internal staff to the extent they are dedicated to
the  project,  a portion of which are  expensed  in the  Company's  general  and
administrative expenses line item and the remainder are expensed in its research
and development expenses line item. The Company started incurring these expenses
in 1995,  when the  Company  first  began  the  assessment  and  remediation  of
internally  developed  products,  and expenses are expected to continue  through
fiscal year 2000.

     The  Company  revised  its year 2000  compliance  budget  during  the third
quarter, of fiscal 1999, primarily to reflect changes in its implementation plan
for new customer  relationship  management and accounting  systems.  The cost of
designing and implementing both of these systems represents a very large portion
of the year 2000 compliance  budget:  $4.6 million of the $6.7 million budgeted.
The Company decided to replace these systems several years ago primarily because
of  business  requirements,  but the  replacement  also  served  the  purpose of
eliminating two major systems that would otherwise have had to be remediated and
tested  to  become  year 2000  compliant.  As a  result,  the costs of these new
systems has been  included in the year 2000  compliance  budget for  purposes of
this  disclosure.  The  revision  made to the budget  during  the third  quarter
adjusted  the cost of the  customer  management  system to  include  the cost of
designing and implementing the customer support and order processing  portion of
the system,  which is the portion that replaced the prior  noncompliant  system,
but excludes the cost of implementing additional sales management  functionality
and integration  between  components and systems.  These  additional  costs will
begin in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1999. A similar  revision was made to the
year 2000 compliance budget with respect to the new accounting system. The costs
of the upgrade to a year 2000  compliant  system have been  included in the year
2000  compliance  budget,   but  the  costs  of  additional   functionality  and

                                       16

integration,  which will be  implemented  over the next nine  months,  have been
excluded.  The budget was also  revised to reflect  additional  staffing for the
overall  management of the year 2000  compliance  program and the testing of its
software  products,  as well as increases to the estimated costs of replacing or
remediating  noncompliant  desktop software packages and network equipment.  The
net effect of the changes made to the year 2000 budget in the third  quarter was
a decrease of $0.9 million.  The company will continue to adjust the budget on a
quarterly basis as its year 2000 compliance program progresses.

     The estimated costs of the Company's year 2000 compliance  program have not
had and are not expected to have a material  effect on the  Company's  financial
position, results of operations or liquidity. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company will not experience material adverse  consequences in the event
that the  Company's  year  2000  compliance  program  is not  successful  or its
vendors, facilities,  distributors or resellers are unable to resolve their year
2000 compliance issues in a timely manner.
