                                 FTD CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three month period ended September 30, 1998, include the accounts of FTD
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Florists' Transworld Delivery, Inc.
(collectively, the "Company" or "FTD"). These statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not contain all information included in the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 1998.
The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on
Form 10-K. In the opinion of FTD management, all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been
included (and any such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as
disclosed herein). Due to seasonal variations in FTD's business, operating
results for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that might be expected for the year ended June 30,
1999.

         As a result of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 131, (see Note 6. Segment Information), significant changes
were made to the classification of accounts for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998. In evaluating the costs associated with the two business
segments , several items which were previously reported as costs of goods sold
in the September 30, 1997 condensed consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as selling, general and
administrative expenses.

Note 2.  Revenues from Sale of the Floral Selections Guide ("FSG")

         Effective with the 1999 fiscal year, as a condition of FTD 
affiliation, all FTD Florists must purchase a FSG and related workbook.  The 
purchase of such FSG entitles the FTD Florist to a non-exclusive, 
non-transferable right for on premises use of the FSG for as long as the 
purchaser remains an FTD Florist in good standing.  In the three month period 
ended September 30, 1998, revenue from such FSG sales totaled $2.5 million.  In 
prior periods, FTD offered a product guide for sale to its members on an 
optional basis.  This predecessor guide was published on a two year cycle,  
with updates throughout the cycle.  Accordingly such revenue was previously 
recognized ratably over the two year cycle.  Revenue from the predecessor 
guide during the three month period ended September 30, 1997, was $0.2 million.

Note 3.  Capital Transactions

         During the three month period ended September 30, 1998, pursuant to the
terms of FTD's 1994 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, options to purchase 128,300
Class A shares were granted. FTD also repurchased into treasury 26,494 Class A
shares and 51,250 Class B shares and issued 70,000 Class A shares to officers as
restricted stock during the three month period ended September 30, 1998.

Note 4.  Earnings Per Share

         In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", basic earnings
per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of unexercised common
stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and includes
the dilutive effect of unexercised common stock equivalents. Basic and diluted
earnings per common share and common equivalent share for the three month period
ended September 30, 1998  has been computed based on the weighted average number
of common and common equivalent shares outstanding of 15,364,586.  For the three
month period ended September 30, 1997, basic earnings per share was computed
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 15,245,655
and diluted earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding of 15,441,655. 


Note 5.  Comprehensive Income

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued, SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" in June 1997. Effective July 1, 1998 the
Company adopted this Statement. This Statement requires the Company to disclose
non-owner changes in equity which are not included in net income (loss).

         During the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the
Company engaged in transactions involving foreign currency which did not have a
material effect in the calculation of comprehensive income. Accumulated
comprehensive income (loss) at September 30, 1998 and 1997 was ($0.9) million
and $0.2 million respectively.

Note 6.  Segment Information

         The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" in February 1998. This Statement establishes
standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to stockholders. Effective July 1, 1998 the Company
adopted this Statement.

         As a result of adopting this Statement, the Company has identified two
reportable business segments which are evaluated regularly by management in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. These business
segments include Technology products and services and Marketplace and Other.

         Technology products and services consists of technology based products
and services offered to our customers. This includes the Company's
Mercury/Advantage equipment, Mercury Network, Clearinghouse, Direct Access
(1-800-SEND-FTD), Flowers After Hours, FTD Florists' Online Internet site
(www.ftd.com), Publications, Credit Card processing, and Interflora. Marketplace
and Other consists of floral related products and greeting cards offered to our
customers for resale as well as other miscellaneous income items.

         The Company's accounting policies for segments are the same as those
described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation.

         The Company does not have any material long-lived assets attributable
to the reportable business segments. The long-lived assets held by the Company
are for general corporate use.

         FTD generates its revenue from two principal areas of operation. These
areas have been identified as Technology products and services and Marketplace
and Other.

              Technology products and services consists primarily of:

         -    Mercury/Advantage equipment sales which includes both sales and
              leases of hardware and software to FTD Florists.

         -    Mercury Network which is FTD's proprietary telecommunications
              network used by florists to transmit orders through FTD or through
              competing clearinghouses.

         -    Clearinghouse, which provides order billing and collection
              services to both the sending and receiving florists, for which FTD
              receives a percentage of the sales price for the service.

         -    Direct Access revenue which is derived from the 1-800-SEND-FTD
              direct marketing business.

         -    Flowers After Hours which is FTD's call forwarding service whereby
              participating florists receive various types of orders and
              messages such as consumer or florist to florist, for a fee paid
              per transaction.

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997.

           During the three month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company 
made significant changes in the classification of accounts amongst costs of 
goods sold and services provided and selling general and administrative 
expenses.  Prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current 
year presentation.

         The following is a discussion of changes in the Company's financial
condition and results of operations for the three month period ended September
30, 1998, compared with the three month period ended September 30, 1997.

         Revenue increased by $4.9 million, or 13.8%, to $40.4 million for the
three month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to $35.5 million for the
three month period ended September 30, 1997. This increase in revenue was
primarily the result of increases in both of the Company's business segments.

         Technology products and services segment revenue increased by $3.3
million, or 14.8%, to $25.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
1998 compared to $22.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997.
This increase is primarily due to the net result of increases in Clearinghouse,
Direct Access and Credit Cards offset in part by a decrease in Mercury Network.

         Marketplace and Other segment revenue increased by $1.6 million, or
12.0%, to $14.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1998
compared to $13.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1997.
The increase from the prior year was the result of increases in the sale of
Renaissance Greeting Cards products and the sale of a newly published Floral
Selections Guide ("FSG") to all FTD Florists (See Note 2. Revenues from Sale of
the Floral Selections Guide).  These revenue increases were partially offset by
lower sales of Marketplace products. Marketplace and Other revenue was 36.9% and
37.5% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

         The costs associated with Technology products and services increased
$0.9 million, or 21.4% to $5.1 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $4.2 million for

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

the three month period ended September 30, 1997. This increase is primarily due
to increased costs associated with Mercury Network operations, Direct Access,
and Flowers After Hours.

         The costs associated with Marketplace and Other increased $1.5 million,
or 17.2%, to $10.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1998,
compared to $8.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1997.
This increase is primarily due to the production costs associated with the new
FSG offset in part, by a decrease in Marketplace product costs as a result of
lower Marketplace sales.

         As a percent of revenue, cost of goods sold and services provided
increased slightly to 38.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 1998
from 36.3% for the three month period ended September 30, 1997. This is
primarily due to lower Marketplace and Other gross margins.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.2 million, or
26.9%, to $24.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 from
$19.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1997. This is
primarily due to FTD's increased costs associated with national advertising and
the FTD Dollars & Scents TM promotional program as well as increases in other
general and administrative expenses in comparison to the previous three months
ended September 30, 1997.

         Net interest expense for the three month period ended September 30,
1998 was $2.2 million as compared to $2.7 million for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997. The decrease of $0.5 million resulted from lower
average debt outstanding as of September 30, 1998.

         Income taxes for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 was a
benefit of $0.8 million compared to $0.5 million of income tax expense for the
comparable three month period ended September 30, 1997. The change resulted from
the decrease in taxable income.

         Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 was $0.8
million, a decrease of $1.0 million compared to net income of $0.2 million for
the three month period ended September 30, 1997. The change is attributable to
the factors previously discussed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Interest payments on the Company's $60.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 14% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2001 (the "Notes"),
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
and interest payments under the Company's $100 million Credit Agreement dated
November 20, 1997 with First Chicago Capital Markets Inc. (the "Bank Credit
Facilities") represent significant liquidity requirements for FTD. The Company
has entered into interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount of $25.0
million to minimize its exposure to interest rate movements. Borrowings
available under the Bank Credit Facilities consist of a $50.0 million Multiple
Draw Term Loan Facility and a $50.0 million Revolving Credit Facility to finance
working capital, acquisitions, certain expenses associated with the Bank Credit
Facilities and letter of credit needs. At September 30, 1998, the Company did
not have any borrowings outstanding under the Bank Credit Facilities. Any loan
outstanding under the Bank Credit Facilities will mature on December 31, 2003.
The Company believes, based on 

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

current circumstances, that its cash flow, together with borrowings under the
Bank Credit Facilities, will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs,
capital expenditures, obligations to the Operating Company, potential
acquisitions and to make interest and principal payments as they become due
under the terms of the Notes and the Bank Credit Facilities.

         As of September 30, 1998, the Company is in compliance with the
covenants of their debt agreement.

         In addition to its debt service obligations, FTD's remaining liquidity
demands are primarily for capital expenditures and working capital needs. FTD's
expected capital expenditures for fiscal 1999 are estimated to be in the range
of $5.0 to $7.0 million and will primarily be used for new computer software and
related information technology purchases. For the three month period ended
September 30, 1998, FTD's net capital expenditures were $2.6 million relating
primarily to the development and  implementation of a new software package,
Mercury Wings computer hardware and furniture and equipment. The Company
believes that cash flow from operations, together with borrowings available
under the Bank Credit Facilities, will be sufficient to fund anticipated capital
expenditures and working capital needs.

         For the three month period ended September 30, 1998, FTD used cash in
the amount of $4.9 million as compared to cash used of $6.9 million for the
three month period ended September 30, 1997.

         Cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $4.5 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997. Depreciation and amortization was $1.7 million
for the three month period September 30, 1998 and $3.3 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in cash used in operating
activities from the comparable period of the prior year is primarily due to an
increase in other accrued liabilities, unearned income and members deposits
offset in part by a decrease in accrued member incentives.

         Cash used in investing activities, consisting of capital expenditures
net of disposal of assets, was $2.6 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998 compared to $62 thousand for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997.

         Cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 1998 compared to cash used of $2.3 million for the
three month period ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in cash used in
financing activities is primarily a result of a decrease in repayments of
long-term debt during the three month period ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three month period ended September 30, 1997.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems and has
identified the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. The Year
2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the


                                       12

<PAGE>   13
Company's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
a major system failure or miscalculation. The Year 2000 issue may also affect
the systems and applications of the Company's vendors or customers. The Company
has identified certain systems which are considered "mission critical" and has
developed a plan for converting our computer system for Year 2000 compliance. As
of September 30, 1998, FTD has contracted with an outside consulting firm which
has assisted FTD in the evaluation and selection of a compatible software
package based on FTD's system requirements. FTD is currently in the
implementation and training process for this new software package and expects
the project to be completed by June 30, 1999. This new software package will
allow the Company to improve its execution and efficiency in recording financial
and operational information in addition to providing a solution to the Year 2000
issue with respect to the Company's internal computer systems.

         As part of the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts, the Company's
plan includes contacting customers and third parties whose business interruption
could have a significant impact on FTD's business. The Company has not completed
its assessment of the Year 2000 issue as it relates to these customers and third
party vendors. However, it should be noted that the Company has over 20,000
customers none of which individually accounts for a material portion of the
Company's revenues or profits. As it relates to vendors and suppliers, the
Company's plan includes contacting key third parties, including financial
institutions and communication and transportation providers with whom the
Company does business to address the compatibility of systems. The Company does
not have any reason to believe that these third parties will suffer a business
interruption as a result of the Year 2000 Issue.

         As it relates to customers, the Company has included in its Year 2000
compliance efforts FTD products such as Mercury 2000 and 3000 terminals, Mercury
Interface Box and Advantage (Solaris and SCO) computer systems. The Company is
well along in its efforts to test these systems and to remedy them, if
necessary. The Company believes, based on testing to date, that the Mercury 2000
and 3000 terminals, as well as the Mercury Interface Box, are already Year 2000
compliant. The Advantage (Solaris and SCO) systems are in testing and necessary
changes are expected to be in release 6.3, which is scheduled to be available in
May, 1999.

         In the event that appropriate Year 2000 readiness is not achieved for a
service or product identified by FTD as Year 2000 compliant, the Company will
use commercially reasonable efforts to repair the affected portion of the
service or product.
      
         The economy in general may be adversely affected by risks associated
with the Year 2000 issue. The Company's business, financial condition, and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected if systems that it
operates or systems that are operated by other parties with whom the Company
does business, are not Year 2000 compliant in time. There can be no assurance
that these third party systems will continue to properly function and interface
and will otherwise be Year

                                       13
<PAGE>   14
2000 Compliant. Although the Company is not aware of any threatened claims
related to the Year 2000, the Company may be subject to litigation arising from
such claims and, depending on the outcome, such litigation could have a material
adverse affect on the Company.

         During the implementation of the new enterprise software package, the
Company will incur internal staff costs as well as consulting and other costs.
The total estimated cost to complete the project over the next 9 to 15 months is
expected to range between $10.0 and $12.0 million of which approximately $6.0 to
$10.0 million of these expenditures are expected to be capital expenditures. The
capitalized items include the costs related to hardware, software and other
external direct costs of material and services consumed in developing the
internal-use enterprise software. If the Company is unsuccessful in implementing
the software or if the software does not function as it is expected to, the
related potential effect is expected to be material in terms of the  Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. As of September 30,
1998, all scheduled implementation dates have been met, and the Company
continues to anticipate the implementation to be completed by June 30, 1999. The
Company intends to develop and implement, if necessary, appropriate contingency
plans to mitigate, to the extent possible, any significant Year 2000 areas of
noncompliance.

         The expected costs and completion dates for the Year 2000 project are
forward looking statements based on management's best estimates, which were
derived using numerous assumptions of future events, including the continued
availability of resources, third party modification plans and other factors.
Actual results could differ materially from these estimates as a result of
factors such as the availability and cost of trained personnel, the ability to
locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.
