Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 1998 and 1997
1. Description of Business and Financing Requirements
These financial statements include all adjustments that in the opinion of
management are necessary in order to make the financial statements not
misleading.
NDS Software, Inc. ("NDS") was originally incorporated under the Laws of Nevada
on October 28, 1987. On July 20, 1994, NDS merged with XRF Corporation ("XRF"),
which was incorporated in Utah. Through the terms of the merger agreement, XRF,
the surviving entity, acquired all of the outstanding common stock of NDS and
NDS ceased to exist. However, due to the substance of the transaction, the
merger has been treated as a purchase of XRF by NDS (Note 3). Subsequent to the
merger, XRF changed its name to NDS Software, Inc. and has been re-domiciled in
the state of Nevada.
On May 8, 1996, NDS acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Visual Listings,
Inc. ("VLI") located in Brea, California. The acquisition of VLI was accounted
for as a purchase that resulted in the Company recording $637,696 of goodwill
(Note 3). On August 11, 1997 the Company acquired FOCUS Publications, Inc.
("Focus") which was finalized on December 31, 1997. The acquisition of FOCUS was
accounted for as a purchase that resulted in the Company recording $42,615 of
goodwill (Note 3).
NDS offers desktop software products used by real estate professionals to manage
information, contacts and listings.
VLI provides public access to the Multiple Listing Service via the Internet
through its HomeSeekers.com Internet site. The Internet site allows potential
home buyers to view multiple listings using a standard Internet dial up
connection. VLI also provides an alternative access to the Multiple Listing
Service on HomeSeekers and CityNet, a product that opens the same data to a
non-Internet connected home buyer that has a computer and modem.
Focus produces regional relocation information including economic, housing,
education, entertainment and other related information of interest to businesses
and individuals relocating to the area in paperback form for sale to realtors,
title companies and individuals relocating in the area.
VLI and FOCUS Publications are being operated as divisions of the Company. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NDS and its two
divisions, VLI ("HomeSeekers") and FOCUS Publications ("Focus"). All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NDS changed its name to HomeSeekers.com, Inc. on July 1, 1998.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 1998 and 1997
(Continued)
1. Description of Business and Financing Requirements (continued)
The Company has not yet generated revenues sufficient to fund operations and has
generated the additional cash necessary to fund operations through the issuance
of equity and convertible debt. Accordingly, the Company' ability to accomplish
its business strategy and to ultimately achieve profitable operations is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and execute its
business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
additional funding, and if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or
affordable by the Company.
The Company' management is exploring several funding options and expects to
raise additional capital in 1998 and to continue to develop the Company'
operations around its products. Ultimately, however, the Company will need to
achieve profitable operations in order to continue as a going concern. The
Company incurred net losses of $2,311,959 and $2,121,906 for the years ended
June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and has incurred a net loss of $1,956,160
for the nine months ending March 31, 1998. The Company has an accumulated
deficit of $9,530,161 as of March 31, 1998.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from sales of software licenses are recognized upon shipment of the
related product, net of revenues attributable to insignificant customer
obligations, if any. Advertising revenues are recognized ratably over the term
of the advertising agreement beginning at the time the advertisement first is
displayed on the Company's Internet site. Payments received from customers prior
to the Company shipping product or displaying advertisements are recorded as
deferred revenue.
In accordance with Statement of Position 91-1, the Company accounts for certain
software transactions for which there is no reasonable basis of estimating the
degree of collectibility of related receivables using the installment method of
accounting, effectively recording the transaction as deferred revenue until the
collectibility is probable. See Note 4 "Investments".

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for the costs of developing software products to be sold in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 86, "Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed" which
requires the capitalization of costs only during the period from the
establishment of technological feasibility to the time at which the product is
available for general release to customers. These costs are not material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations, and have been charged to
research and development expense in the accompanying statements of operations.
Concentrations
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which potentially subject
the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash in bank, trade receivables,
and receivables from officers/stockholders. The Company maintains its cash in
bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At
March 31, 1998, substantially all of the accounts receivables are due from
customers within the real estate and related industries.
Concentrations of Operations - All of the Company's current products are
designed for operation in the national domestic real estate market. Any
recessionary pressures or other disturbances in the national real estate market
could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. For the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, 43% of the Company's revenues were received from one
customer from the sale of customer leads.
Financial Statement Estimates
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 and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
("SFAS No. 107"). The Carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash
and cash equivalents approximate those assets" fair values. Active markets for
the Company's other financial instruments that are subject to the fair value
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107, which consist of privately-issued
convertible debt and notes payable, do not exist and there are no quoted market
prices for these instruments. Accordingly, it is not practicable to estimate the
fair values of such financial instruments because of the limited information
available to the Company and because of the significance of the cost to obtain
independent appraisals for this purpose.
Marketable Securities
The Company's securities investments that are bought and held principally for
the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading
securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet
in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in
earnings.
Securities investments that the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and recorded at
amortized cost in investments and other assets. Securities investments not
classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as
available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at
fair value in investments and other assets on the balance sheet, with the change
in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax
as a separate component of equity.
The Company's investments in marketable equity securities are held for an
indefinite period and thus are classified as available-for-sale.

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market and consists of Focus division publications.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 years, or the lease term,
whichever is shorter.
Goodwill
The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the
net assets of VLI and Focus Publications, both acquired in purchase
transactions. All goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line method over 5
years. Amortization charged to continuing operations amounted to $32,975 and
$103,170 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Goodwill accumulated amortization at March 31, 1998 was $249,278. At each
balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the reliability of goodwill based upon
expectations of non-discounted cash flows and operating results of VLI and
Focus. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no
material impairment of goodwill exists at March 31, 1998.
Income Taxes
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Under this method,
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are scheduled to be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Advertising
The Company periodically places advertisements in newspapers and magazines.
Costs of advertising are expensed when paid.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is based on the simple average number of shares of common
stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Other
common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock,
convertible redeemable promissory notes and upon the exercise of certain common
stock warrants and stock options have been excluded from the computation because
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Stock Options
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, or earlier as
permitted. As provided by SFAS No. 123, the Company will continue to account for
employee stock options under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. There were options to purchase
3,565,700 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 1998.
3. Business Acquisitions
On July 20, 1994, the Company merged with XRF Corporation, (XRF), (a Utah
Corporation). Through the terms of the merger agreement, XRF, the surviving
entity, acquired all of the outstanding common stock of NDS and NDS ceased to
exist. The existing stockholders of XRF retained their 1,192,352 shares and the
stockholders of NDS received shares of XRF at a ratio of 76.5 to 1 for a total
of 1,700,000 shares. Due to majority ownership of the Company after the
transaction by NDS stockholders and XRF's lack of substantial assets,
liabilities, or marketable products, the transaction was treated as a reverse
acquisition of XRF by NDS using the purchase method for accounting purposes.

11. 1996 Stock Option Plan (continued)
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for its fixed stock option
plan. Accordingly, since the market value and the option price of the Company?s
stock were equal on the measurement date, no compensation cost has been
recognized for the Plan for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
Had compensation cost been determined on the basis of fair value pursuant to
FASB Statement No. 123, net income (loss) and earnings per share would have been
impacted as follows:

made in estimating fair value:
Dividend yield 0%
Risk-free interest rate 8.50%
Expected life 3 years
Expected volatility 111.18%
Compensation expense that would have been charged to operations had the
provisions of FASB 123 been applied were $2,288,771 for the nine month period

14. Restated Financial Statements
Related Party Transaction
In previously published financial statements as of March 31, 1998, the Company
recorded common stock it received as partial payment for services rendered from
WebQuest International, Inc. ("WebQuest"), a related party. The Company has also
received $658,000 in cash from WebQuest for services from January 1997 through
August 1998. The common stock was classified on the balance sheet as securities
available-for-sale at its estimated realizable value of $700,000 as of March 31,
1998. This stock is restricted stock and is still not trading on any stock
exchange or over-the-counter ("OTC") market as of August 31, 1998. Therefore,
Company management has reversed this non-cash transaction.
This restatement resulted in a reduction in sales and in increases in net losses
for the nine months ending, and the three months ending March 31, 1998 of
$685,000 ($.12 per share) and $160,000 ($.03 per share), respectively.
Investments of $700,000, included in current assets, was reduced to zero,
deferred revenue included in current liabilities was increased by $685,000 and
the $700,000 value of the stock was recorded as an "Unrealized loss on
securites" in stockholders' deficit.
WebQuest has filed its Form 10-SB, Amendment number 1 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and has represented to Company management that this stock
will be traded on the NASD's Over the Counter Bulletin Board soon. The Company
will recognize the $700,000 of revenue when the stock becomes a marketable
asset.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Financial Condition - March 31, 1998 compared to June 30, 1997
Investments in related businesses
The Company made a $100,000 down payment on the purchase of Opticom Corporation
("Opticom") during fiscal 1998. Opticom designs and provides marketing tools to
Realtors, and currently generates approximately $3,000,000 in annual sales.
Current sales include photographs of homes for sale, real estate marketing
materials printing, magazine design and printing and real estate "For Sale"
signs. Opticom's long-term marketing strategy is to become a "one-stop" provider
of marketing services for listing real estate agents. The Company is completing
the due diligence phase of its acquisition of Opticom, and is currently
negotiating the purchase price.
In January, 1998, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company ("LLC")
with a mortgage business to develop and operate a new Internet site that brings
the Company's real estate listings together with the other party's mortgage
offerings. The Company contributed 300,000 shares of restricted common stock to
this LLC as collateral should the company not perform as stated in the LLC
agreement. These shares may be forfeited at a maximum of 100,000 shares per year
over a three-year period. The shares were valued at $1.50 per share, bringing
the total potential investment of stock in this LLC to $450,000.
Convertible Debt
Convertible debt holders converted $1,704,000 of their notes into common stock
during fiscal 1998. Approximately 883,000 shares of common stock were issued for
the conversion of $1,900,000 in convertible debt and accrued interest during
fiscal 1998.
Stockholders' Deficit
The Company's equity structure improved during the nine months ending March 31,
1998, from a $2,435,000 deficit as of June 30, 1997 to a $405,000 deficit as of
March 31, 1998. The primary reasons for this improvement was conversion of
$1,900,000 in convertible debt and accrued interest, and the Company raised
$1,805,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of stock and from the exercise of
stock options and warrants during this period. In addition, the Company
generated a net loss of $1,956,000 during the nine months ending March 31, 1998.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ending March 31, 1998 compared to the Three
Months Ending March 31, 1997

sales, and the $187,000 balance coming from web page, advertising, custom
programming and support revenues.
25
<PAGE>
Sales were up $301,000, or 108% for the quarter ending March 31, 1998 over the
corresponding 1997 quarter. This increase was due to strong product sales and
customer leads related to mortgage referrals sold to a mortgage company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were up $377,000, or 51% for the
quarter ending March 31, 1998 over the corresponding 1997 quarter. Sales and
programming personnel were added to increase Company sales and to meet the
production requirements of the increasing number of advertising customers.
Additionally, the Company incurred a $51,000 sales commission when it liquidated
equity securities received as payment for services during the quarter ending
March 31, 1998. The Company increased it's Internet communication capabilities,
and related costs, year-over-year, and spent considerable funds filing its Form
10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 1998.
Interest expense was down $77,000, or 85% for the three months ending March 31,
1998 from 1997 primarily due to the conversion of convertible debt into equity.
Results of Operations - Nine Months Ending March 31, 1998 compared to the Nine
Months Ending March 31, 1997
Total sales of $1,178,000 consisted of $509,000 in prospect sales, $219,000 in
product sales, $211,000 in web page sales, with the $239,000 balance from
advertising, custom programming and support sales.
Sales for the nine months ending March 31, 1998 were up $184,000, or 19% over
the nine months ending March 31, 1997. This increase was due to customer leads
related to mortgage referrals sold to a mortgage company.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were up $514,000, or 22% for the
nine months ending March 31, 1998 over the nine months ending March 31, 1997.
